Help-Index
Battery
Battery at is quite OK for this state of development, but anyway it's a light version which only should give a preview of next Android 5.0
Problems with battery could be for extreme battery drain.
In this case:
- Check if specific app occurs this!
- reboot system
- wait a next full charge
- reflash if nothing helps
Busybox
The standard Busybox isn't working with Android L on this state.
But u can use another one which works fine:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bitcubate.root.busybox.complete
Camera
Problems could be crashes, freezes, black screens or reboots.
If u have camera problems u can try different things:
- delete data of camera app
- uninstall updates if camera app
- extract camera apk from rom and replace it
- change any settings like picture or video resolution in camera
- deactivate NuPlayer option in Developer Options
Crashing App(s)
some apps still don't work. Problem could be that it's not supporting ART or it requires root which isn't working fine, because the developer of apps have to update their binaries.
Extended Bootmenu
There is no extended Bootmenu, but can use an app doing exactly the same:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tyler.rebootmenuwidget
Flash
Problems could be errors while flashing, bootloop or systemUI FCs.
Problems relating to flash mostly occurs because not following the correct flash way:
- Check if /system is unmounted
- Fullwipe (wipe data, caches, system)
- Flash Rom.zip
- Flash SU.zip
- Reboot
If anyway problems, u can only try it again or change for example once between mounted and unmounted, so that this becomes set again.
Gapps
There r no Gapps for Android L.
Alls Gapps included in Stock.
Location
This state of release has a bug which only except location off or on.
The battery saving mode can be set, but would be set to on after getting back to it.
MMS/SMS
Problems could be, that both won't work at all or just sending or receiving of one.
U have to check ur provider APN settings and update/edit them.
(most T-Mobile and Sprint)
Root
U maybe don't have root.
To become a rooted device just flash the modified Superuser.zip from OP.
Screencast
At this state of release this function is implemented, but doesn't work!
Standard chromecast is working fine.
SystemUI
Problems could be FCs of SystemUI.
If u have problems while phone is charging (depends of battery level),
unplug the USB cable, restart SystemUI and then re-plug the usb cable.
Like here.
If u have other or still problems, look into Flash then.
Tethering
Problems could be, that SSID is visible but connection won't be successful.
U have to change the Password one time, after that it's working as usual.
Titanium Backup
For a working Titanium Backup u have to use the official Beta, as the standard release won't run at all.
Upgrade
Flashing LPX13D over KTU84P with non-wipe (removing -w from the flash-all file) renders the home button inopperable.
==> FIX: Running :- adb shell am start -n com.google.android.setupwizard/.SetupWizardTestActivity
VPN
Connections are successful, but routing isn't.
This is still a developer preview and surly get fixed in next release(s).
Xposed
Xposed doesn't work in Android L!!!
Android L only running ART but Xposed doesn't support it.
PS: If any question r already answered here, just link this post in answer!

CHEERS

The preview was working fine, but after that I restarted the device, it crashes after 10 seconds back into the boot animation. It does so infinitely, just keeps playing the boot animation, starting, and then crashing again. Any ideas on how to fix?

Come on, it's a preview version. Re-flash it or better yet flash 4.4.4 and wait until it's a real release. It's for developers not the general population.

Hey, thanks for the advice. You or anyone else viewing this thread may be interested to know that the issue did not occur in safe mode, and I've been able to nail down that the problem is caused by Lightflow. After uninstalling that app, the loop has ceased.
If anyone else has my above issue, try picking off apps that may not be compatible with L yet.

Going to put this out there - this is a developer preview, NOT a consumer release. If you don't know how to flash it with fastboot, then honestly it isn't for someone like you.

So... is SuperSU working? Or any root method?

Has anyone had the issue where the SD Card is unreadable by any app, including Google ones?

It's being talked about in some of the threads in the Development section. It works, but also requires a boot.img flash. I don't think it's available yet though.

Does anyone's android look like this?

VOIP Settings
Internet call settings apparently are not working for me. I attempted to add in Callcentric information in the internet call settings and I am not getting a ring from the server. Is this working for anyone else?
T-Mobile

I'm not able to flash back to 4.4 now it seems. It worked fine to flash L of course, but now all of a sudden fastboot commands seem to not work for me. Adb is fine but won't recognize fastboot

No WiFi calling since it is based on the international G2. Maybe I can add it in there later on.
Clear browser cache if you having trouble downloading. It is fully uploaded.
Would side loading not work? If not then a version that it would work in would be great. Thank you for supporting a T-Mobile version

For some weird reason I am connected to the tower but no data at all. Just shows bars. Forcing me to use wifi when I try and log into my google account to get it setup
Edit: Figured out the fix. You need to long press the "Data" button in notification area, Access point names, Click on T-Mobile GPRS, replace the APN link with "fast-t-mobile.com"
Wala! you have internet back (4G-LTE)
Man this ROM is flying thanks so much you have no idea how happy you are making us T-Mobile users!
Lock screen bug..
I am not being picky just fyi. Just trying to help improve this amazing ROM
Lock screen very bright where Nav Bar is hidden until unlock. Don't know if there is a way to fix this, but its there.
I noticed a big performance increase with this stock lock screen when turning screen on while locked. Hardly any delay compared to the lock screen LG installed originally. Might be minor but wow it makes a big difference for me for I like to see whats playing while switching tracks on google play music. Really makes the experience much better for me personally.

[WIP] Dark CM Messaging App for 4.4 (NO ROOT NEEDED)

So, I updated to kit kat, only to discover that with the new "Default SMS app" feature, you can't just use old SMS apps. Well, I don't really like using Hangouts as my SMS app, and the stock Mms app lacks quite a few features i really like from CM's Mms app. Plus, I really like dark themes.
Well, of course I simply tried to go ahead and use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1745830 , but because that doesn't include the new information, it isn't seen as a possible "Default SMS" app, and can't be used. Well, I wasn't okay with this...
Dug into apktool and messed around in the AndroidManifest.xml, added the appropriate bits and pieces for it to be discovered by 4.4, and recompiled, and then signed. Voila, I have a working, dark themed, CM version of 4.3 Mms, with popups and all. I've tested that both sending and receiving of sms (in app and from popup) and mms all work.
If people are interested, I can post it up for download. Not sure about all the rules though. I assume I'd have to ask for permission from the OP of that thread I linked above?
EDIT:
Okay, so I've got the 4.3 CM messaging app linked from above. I've updated it to work with 4.4 (allowing it to be a "default SMS app") and also went and modified all the smali and xml with a new package name and a couple new authority/provider names to avoid conflict with the stock app.
Final takeaway: a themed, customizable (see settings), popup-enabled, emoji-supporting 4.3 messaging app that not only works on 4.4, but can be installed without root alongside your stock Mms app. Should work on 4.2 and up, on any variant, rooted or unrooted. Simply download, install with adb or by transfering it to the phone and opening on there, and then go to settings->More->Default SMS app and enable this one (the dark icon "Messaging" one).
I tested sending and receiving sms and mms, sms both from app and popup. everything was working fine. If anyone finds an issue just let me know and provide log cat output if you can, or at least a repro case
EDIT2:
Apparently there are still some kinks I need to work out. Will try to look into it this weekend.
EDIT3:
Okay so I did the version that works on 4.4 for rooted users. This one only has the AndroidManifest edits, so there should be no issues with functionality. I've been using it for a bit now and haven't had any issues. The one labeled Mms.apk is for root users (Nothing about installing/using it requires root, but you have to uninstall the stock messaging app to put this one on). The one labeled Mms2.apk is the (currently kinda buggy) version for those without root. That one is still a work in progress.
That would b awesome if u could share , now would this only work if u r rooted?

I haven't tested, but it should work without root. You can install it just like a normal app, and it gets installed to /data/app. I suppose the concern here is getting rid of the old messaging app, which does require root. I'm pretty sure if you tried to install this alongside the stock app, it would complain about having the same package name. I'll test and let you know soon.
Go get this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thinkleft.eightyeightsms.mms
It works great and has a dark theme option in the settings, the developer pulled the CM MMS app and made it an installable on KitKat and a few tweaks, feels just like the original CM MMS app and even has the quick reply popup option.

The blue drives me nuts now. I really like the monochromatic look of kit kat. I think I'll take this app and theme it the way I want it to look (replacing blues with grays). I'll post that and the 4.3 version I did for anyone that wants it (that one allows color customization directly from the app) later tonight probably

Can the op post up the MMS app you recompiled to work with 4.4?
Sent from my XT1060 using xda app-developers app
Okay, so theming the 4.4 one is a lot more involved than I expected. I did some initial theming with xml values, got all the text the way i wanted it, but there's a lot of images i'd have to edit to get rid of all the blue, and I don't really have time for it right now. I started to, then realized using Paint was a mistake, as all the transparency of the ones I'd edited was gone, which messed up the look. I'm sure I'll get around to it eventually, but for now I'm just going to use the 4.3 Mms I made work with 4.4. Here it is for anyone else that wants it. (Couldn't get attachment to work so here's a zippy share link): http://www58.zippyshare.com/v/36354844/file.html
For some unknown reason, I could not get it to install by cp to /system/app or /system/priv-app and doing chmod, so i made a keystore and signed it and have just been installing it with adb install. You have to uninstall your current stock Mms first though (requires root). I did that by renaming to .bak. I'll see what kind of work might be involved with changing the package name, which would let it be installed alongside the stock app. I tried installing it over the stock with "adb install -r -d Mms.apk", but it complains that it's signed with a different keystore than the currently installed one. If anyone knows how to get the default android keystore I could try signing it with that.
I like this version. I see nothing in the 4.4 Mms app that the 4.3 one does not also have to offer, plus this one has tons of customization, emoji support, etc etc. You can change all the colors of text and background straight from the menu. Until we've got something similar for 4.4 I'll stick to this.
I just noticed a little bug... I installed it on a 4.2.2 device and that device receives messages twice. No issues on 4.4 yet though... I'll look into it.
I got this to install fine, but when i try to send an MMS it FC's on me.

Are you on 4.4? And you set it as your default SMS app? If so, can you grab a logcat output?

Bizarre... I just uninstalled mine, cleared all data from the stock app in case something was getting cached, and went and downloaded from the link and installed and it works fine for me still...
My setup:
Moto X 4.4 OTA with SlapMyMoto root (meaning 4.2.2 bootloader)
Xposed framework with XBlast and GravityBox
I also installed it on a rooted S4 running 4.2.2 and it worked, although it was receiving messages twice (figured out why, but haven't uploaded that update yet) and a "not responding" message when receiving MMS (though you could then go back into the thread and view it). I've not had any issues on the Moto X though.
I wouldn't imagine that anything in the app would need root, though I'm not gonna unroot to find out. Can you guys post some log cats and i'll look into it?
EDIT:
Just got the mms force close. I'm sure a side effect of blindly find/replacing com.android.mms in the smali. Soon I'll post a version that only has the 4.4 changes for those of you with root, and i'll keep working on the whole package name spoof for those without.

[Q] Apps keep crashing on rooted Nexus 5

I rooted my Nexus 5 about two weeks ago using Cyanogenmod. At first everything was running smoothly then after a few days a few apps started to freeze then crash. This happened to twitter most frequently, then Reddit and occasionally hangouts. I haven't noticed it with any other apps. It seems to only happen when I'm on the app for like 10 or more minutes. It now happens about 2 or 3 times a day to twitter and that is about the only application. I updated my rom and installed the newest cyanogenmod rom but it still happens. Why does this keep happening?

Unfortunately the only real way to know is looking at a logcat. When you updated, did you wipe everything or dirty flash? What other mods are you using? Are you using dalvik or ART runtime? Is it the official CM?

What is a logcat? I'm new to rooting so I'm just figuring everything out. And when I updated I flashed it, idk what a dirty flash is. And I'm using Dalvik. And yes its the official CM.

To generate a logcat, start the Terminal Emulator app, then switch to root mode:
$ su
confirm, then start the logcat program:
$ logcat > /sdcard/mylog.txt 2>&1
(change the destination path to your needs).
Now perform the action that you want to trace. When finished, switch back to the Terminal Emulator and terminate the logcat with VolDown+C (CTRL-C).
Alternatively you could also use ADB (adb logcat) or a logcat APP, but I prefer "the real thing"

You will geht a text file that you can open with a Text editor - as you seem to use cyanogenmod (CM), I'd suggest to use the CM Filemanager built-in editor.
Watch out for lines starting with "E/" as these are the real errors. While this might give you an idea what is going wrong, to really understand the logcat, developer skills are required...

So if I have a lot of lines starting with "E/" that's probably not so good... I downloaded catlog and went through all the logs
Java Binder and Activity Manager have the most "E/"
Here are all the others-
InputDispacher
GAV2
FrameworkListener
Chromium
ADS
Activity Thread
Finsky
AdwareHttpConnector
Spannable String Builder
RichInputConnection

Interesting... According to a Google search, Finsky is the Play Store for Honeycomb (Android 3.x). As I suppose, you installed CM11 (Android 4.4.x), you may need to start over with the appropriate Google apps (gapps) - see the official CM11 Nexus 5 developer thread - link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2584004

I just checked and the gapps I have now is "pa_gapps-modular-mini-4.4.2-20131215-signed" Do you think I should just install it again? And Google chrome is starting to not work. It takes a while for the keyboard to come up and when I search something it just crashes. This isn't all the time though only sometimes.

PA gapps should be fine but you may want to Browser the CM11 thread I posted before for potential issues with them. The chrome and keyboard issues you mention match your previous post (eg. error reported by the chromium component).
I'd reboot to recovery, do a nandroid backup (just to be safe), then clear the cache and dalvik cache, then erase the system partition, then flash CM and the gapps again.
Erasing the System partition should get you rid of unwanted stuff and the steps above should not touch your data.

[Fix] NA1/NA5_Work around to enable installation of non-market apps and disable googl

Hello Users/Readers:
I'm just your average Falsh-o-holic, who combs through all of the S4 threads to find what's been accomplished/useful information. I have not come across this work around, so I decided to post this info users of the NA1/NA5 Roms who cannot access the Security, settings option.
Disclaimer:
Use this info at your own risk. I am not responsible if this breaks your device.
I am posting this info using my XDA app. I also did this without the need of a PC. Please do not ask for links. Everything I used can be found on this web site, play store or google, except for the kernel. I'll try to be specific. Feel free to add links if you want to help other Users.
My Phone/ROM info:
Confimed working on an US AT&T SGH-I337 S4. I believe this will work on all S4 models. I currently am running Echo Rom v14 (NA5), with old bootloader and wifi working kernel (had to flash the loki doki.zip as well, which can be found all over the AT&T S4 thread).
Links of this kernel have sadly been removed.
I also use the AT&T MK2 modem - I intitially got 4G speed/icon.
I had to preform a few adjustments to the build prop and created a new PTA apn to achieve a stronger LTE connection.
I flahed the Att CSC fix zip (Can be found on the Virgin Rom thread in the OP.) as well.
Tools needed for this permission edit:
SQLite Editor or similar app.
I used SQLite Editor v2.0.1
Solution:
1) Using SQLite editor (in the apps menu) I scrolled down to the Settings Storage app and selected it/pressed it.
2) On the next screen I selected/pressed on the settings.db option.
3) Find the line that reads - install_non_market apps (line 19 for me) and press on it/select it. Then select the edit option (pencil icon top of the screen).
4) Change the value from 0 to 1 and save.
5) In the same menu, navigate to the line that reads - package_verifier_enable (line 86 for me) and change the value from 1 to 0 and save.
Last - Reboot your device and enjoy installing apks from your external/internal storage cards, xposed app, etc., without access to the Security settings option.
Please do not make any other changes because you can possibly harm your device.
These 2 simple edits will stop the current FC's we experience when trying to install and app without using the play store and disable the annoying pop-up thak asks if you want google to check for harmful blah, blah, blah. Will work even if you've pressed OK already, which I did my mistake.
Again feel free to post links to assist other Users. I Hope this helps everyone with old (4.3) bootloaders who cannot access these setting.

I would love to but do not have the proper hardware to do so. I have laptop running with an AMD64 processor, but it came installed with Vista,32 bit. I also have a desktop with Windows 8,32 bit. From what I've read a PC running a 64 bit OS is necessary. Let me know if there is some I can do with my equipment. I've never tried to build because of this but would do so if I could.

You wouldnt even have to build it my friend
You grab the build one (i.e. v14) and you make it so that Americans (which i have soooo many friends i want them to be happy) can use it
Thats all
No need to cook it from scratch! You will be grabbing the latest Echoe everytime
No pressure my friend at all!!
I thought it would be awesome way especially for Americans to be on the 4.4.2
And there is no way i could do it and fully support another thread....
No hurry!! We can talk any details you want my man!!
I was impressed about your discovery here!! I love to see this kind of thinking!! Thats what got me to discover the"wifi trick" for the 4.3... Thinking completely paradoxically and "outside of the box"

Great find. I had already changed build prop to att and did a dirty flash to get most of my app installed but this will allow those that didn't to work. It makes the Echoe a truly workable Rom for ATT users and a DD candidate. I agree with Friedrich420 this is what the forums are about,
Edit: Tried this and still have a problem with downloading some apps. Get a pop up "can't store internal storage or sd card"
Hmm. Just tried "sqlite editor pro free" and when I got to settings.db to open it, it gives me "an error occurred while opening the database". Rebooted to make sure everything was settled, but still no luck. Went to buy the $2.99 version of sqlite editor, but it couldn't install onto either my sd card or internal memory. Might be the rom, but this leads to the whole point of needing the work around. Maybe a lost cause.

I had fc too. But that's because it needs root access the request didn't appear straight away. After restarted su request finally popped up then it worked.

In build.pro change false for true in the line: "ro.securestorage.support=false" and in the platform.xml in system/etc/permisions look for:
<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >
<group gid="sdcard_r" />
<group gid="sdcard_rw" />
and add:

Great work! Eagerly awaiting a zip to flash that will allow Echoe to work flawlessly on I337. GE works great but currently has no real competition and for some reason the Galaxy Gear weather will not work with it so looking to get Echoe working.

Just thinking this could be posted in AT&T like GE rom where you have a zip that changes the 4g icon, build prop and security setting in 1 zip to make it AT&T. What WIFI issues? do they exist on MLD bb?
