[Q] ADB over usb OTG - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is this possible? In example I connect another phone to my phone (host) and then run ADB commands. How can I do this? Here it shows that this is possible, I'm just unsure how. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ah7DWawLax8

Not sure. Just rooted and installed busy box on my partners xperia. Adb devices from terminal emulator lists no devices when connected. They see each other though as they have the storage pop-ups

It DL'd fine on my comp just now. Haven't tried using it as I'm always close enough to my computer. If you can't get it to DL shoot me a PM and I'll dropbox it for you.

Simple method to install .APK that PlayStore Won't Let you install.

To install an app the PlayStore wont let you install do the following (You will need at least one device compaible with the phone)
Install ESFile explorer on the Device with the working App.
Tap On App Manager then Select and HOLD the Application you want.
From the List Select Back-Up
Then Back out back to the first page, and find the Backup folder, and go into it, then into the Apps folder.
Your see the APK backed up.
Then Press and HOLD, and select SHARE.
Share the file to your DropBox
You can then grab the file on your PC and install anyway you see fit.
If you have Unknown sources ticked, you can also then open Dropbox on the Nexus 7, navigate to the folder you shared it to, and install it from there. (Simples)
You could also share the file Via Bluetooth, I have not tested to see if it will let you install the file, but I cant see why not) (Thanks for the idea Gogeta)
I installed and am now using BT Smart talk this way.
Hope this helped someone.
If you find a simpler way please post it.
If I managed to help, please say Thanks.
How about download the apk and install it..

As Per Title, This is for files that PlayStore WON'T let you install. So no way to install it. The .APK may not be available elsewhere, like BT Smart Talk.
Why pull dropbox in this while we have BLUETOOTH

Good thinking.

If you go to /system/data/apps all installed apps go in there, as far as i know. Is this what your trying to get? That way you can skip the backup and save any space that it takes up.

Or, you could use Quixer to send it straight over to the other device, no matter the distance. I like the Bluetooth idea as well though, that would be the easiest for single, close range sharing.

You should be rooted in order to access internal memory from your phone. Or use adb to pull the apk.
There's also lucky patcher but shouldn't share it in xda.

Found Quixar, but sadly its not compatible with the Nexus 7.
Could use the old method to get it working.

Where do I find Quixer? Nothing in PlayStore, or even a Google search.

Download and install "Root Explorer" from the market. It defaults to the root directory. Just open up the app, find /data in the root directory, click on it, and then click /app. All your user downloaded and installed apps are there.

Random Bug Reports created

Hi all.
Running my nexus 5 stock rom with root and every so often even occasionally without me using its just in my pocket it will catch and create a bug report. I have no idea if I'm doing this accidentally while in my pocket or if something else is causing this to happen but it's blooming annoying.
Attached is a bug report (zipped as the txt file is 11mb) that happened a few moments ago while in my pocket in case it helps...
Your help is appreciated.

[UPDATED for 5.0+ roms 1-29-15]Turn off power saver icon via terminal

Here is the new way to disable powersaver icon without using xposed as now we r s-off unlocked on All sense Lollipop builds.
Download Android terminal emulator in play store
Open terminal
Type su to grant super user
Next type the command below
pm disable com.htc.htcpowermanager/.powersaver.PowerSaverNotificationReceiver
Make sure to use capital letters where I did
Also I did it with powersaver turned off then after I disabled it I turned on powersaver. Icon will be gone.
If this helped you please hit the thanks button.
Thanks to @DucatiMon for testing on different Roms.
Screenshots r from KitKat. Will update those asap.

Nope, didn't work for me. I even tried a soft boot after so I wouldn't loose root.
Tigerstown said:
I was waiting till the system was rewrite before I posted how to turn on power saver but since it's out there already I can share this.
In terminal type su
This next part is case sensitive
pm disable com.htcpowermanager/powersaver.PowerSaverNotificationReceiver
Then reboot. It will work for sure when system is rewrite so it might work now for those you used app to turn on power saver.
I saved this from my evolte days.
I also used same method on my m7

. In 4 years I never have had it not work. You put the capital letters where I said to? Did it not work for anyone else?
I never just had root before without system rewrite able. But it should still work. It definitely is the way to get rid of the icon.

Rooted Stock Rom - Netflix errors

I just purchased netflix. Si far i have used it for the 1st time on Cellular data as well as my home wifi.

The weird part of this whole saga is that on Chromecast.
I absolutely do not get an error.
I called netflix and they claim its on issue on the phone itself.
