Nova Launcher won't install when using ART for me on an aosp KitKat ROM and nexus 7 2013. However, if I install it while on Dalvik, it works fine when I switch to ART.

Works great.

Go in to dolphin settings and enable flash content, for some reason it is set to default off position. Hope this helped and happy Christmas!

Kernels compatible to Stock 4.4.2?

As the title suggests, unfortunately I have not yet figured out what kernels are compatible for those who like me, has the stock 4.4.2 with root and TWRP. Please all I need is also a list of links to kernels that go well with my stock.
Thank you!

franco kernel, checking in

Please ask questions in q&a not general.
Im not aware of any kernel that was stopped before 4.4.1
Go to "android development" all the kernels are there

Ok perfect ... just ask anyway in the post!

All you do is go to android development and look at threads that start [kernel]. Theyre all there and they all work on stock unless they say cm in the title.
Its more practical than us listing them everytime someone asks.

and original development as well. youll see less cm kernels there.

Faux123, flar2, franco etc. are suitable candidates

Thank you all, you can close. At best, I will ask in the right section. Thank you again.

You can just look in the threads. It takes like 5 minutes to go read the original post of all the kernels.

As long as they're built on the stock kernel, they can be used in place of it.

[Q] Is there a way to prevent automatic software update?

I don't want to get OTA software updates when Google wants to update, only when I want to update it

You are not forced to take the update. You have to opt to take it

Yes, I need to opt to install it, but the download is done without me asking or approving it. We turned a brand new phone last night and before we knew it was already downloading software update. When I went to the Software Update under settings today it showed a "last check" of about an hour earlier, so apparently it does randomly check for updates. My question is - can this be stopped.
Thanks.

There is a critical update that all nexus 5 must do when taken out of the box. The phone cannot be used before this update happens. This is the only update that is forced.
The rest are optional

I'm not sure this works anymore and you must have root to do this.
Download FOTAKill.apk I've attached to this post.
Put the .apk in /system/app
Reboot.

Out of curiosity, if you're not rooted and don't have immediate plans to root, why don't you want OTA updates?

I do want updates, but I want to determine when to download them (AKA when I'm on wifi), I don't want the phone to force them on me when I'm on cell data.

You can't disable it without root. And with root, it requires breaking the functionality in order to stop it. I don't know about that APK, but you can delete the otacerts.zip file.
You may be able to hide the notification, though, by long pressing the update notification and unticking the Show notifications box.

When the OTA hits your phone the OTA will only be downloaded with WiFi for a week or so. If you still haven't downloaded the file by then, it will download via mobile network. So you don't have to worry about it using your data.

Installing apps to otg usb.

Is it possible? I purchased the grand theft auto vice and a few final fantasy ones. And we ask now how much space those take up.
And if it isn't currently possible, what are the possibilities of getting that feature in the future (whether it be through official Google means or through xda dev means)

Yes, I do it with FolderMount application. HOWEVER, you must use ROM or kernel (Madhi ROM, Chaos Kernel) that first supports automount of OTG. using Stickmount etc is not an option.
I use FolderMount and Chaos kernel. Works great.

ok i have folder mount (bought the pro version) and am running chaos kernel. The game i would like to run off the sd card is grand theft auto vice city (which i got for free off the amazon app store while a promotion was going on). while i can mount the data folder the game uses, i cant figure out how to move the actual 1.3gb apk file.

Its not an apk that's big. /sdcard/Android/obb
Personally I recreate the folder in there to where I want the data then mount in foldermount and move.

No, and you won't be able to.
Its just /sdcard/Android/data and /sdcard/Android/obb, which actually is where almost every game stores their large files. GTA SA for example has over 2GB in there
