What are you trying to do? lol

It's for when upgrading Android version and the home button and status bar doesn't work. It's the fix. Just wondering if it's doable on the device

am start will work. You'll have to drop the "adb shell".
You may also need to prefix the path to com.google. blah

Any idea on the path? Lol

Actually it doesn't need a path.
Needs root though. su enter

am start - n blah blah
Edit! Yup it works! Thanks!

To be honest I did the same before creating this thread but it didn't work so I thought I'd ask...
... It would appear i must have typed something wrong the first time around. Doh!

The adb shell part probably. Plus terminals are case sensitive
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

So for terminal emulator -
su enter
am start -n com.google.android.setupwizard/.SetupWizardTestActivity

BBM working on note 8

Works fine on the tablet, it will ask to switch from the phone to the tablet as you sign in. But other than that works fine.

How did u get it to work? Please help.
Or download the google play version on a rooted phone and then with a file manager go to /data/app and copy the app to sdcard, then PC to the Note 8 and install, it works perfectly. The only issue is when it comes to updates is that you have to perform all the steps over and over until it is "compatible" on Google Play.
I downloaded apk and side loaded it. Been working fine for me

Works fine for me. Looks similar to the Nexus 5 Launcher, which require a few other apks to work. See my screen capture, PrebuiltGmsCore.apk and velvet .apk, if I remembered correctly.

Anyone know how to get past this screen. I tried freezing Super user and busy box, also denying root to the app but it's a no a go.

There is an Xposed module that hides the fact that you're rooted from apps that check, it's called RootCloak. I've never used it so I can't vouch for it, but I'd at least look into it.
Damn. I just tried the app, it's a no go

Sorry but I gotta ask, you do have Xposed Framework installed right? And you rebooted after installing the module?

Just search for it. You need Xposed Framework so find that xda thread. Once you've installed it, you can find RootCloak in the downloads section of the Xposed installer app.

Help and advice

Hi guys,
I have a problem with the app installation(from unknown source).
In fact, this is the first time.
I tried to install Blinkfeed launcher(works on unrooted and rooted phones) but from some reason I can't.
99% of people install the application normally like any other app.
I wonder if there is a way to do something in settings or something...
Thank you in advance

Blinkfeed is for HTC devices

You will be informed that the application is not installed
Restart your device

About running Ubuntu on N5 using complete Linux installer

Hello everyone.
I just tried to run Ubuntu on nexus 5 using complete Linux installer and android vnc viewer.
Everything goes OK and on terminal emulator it is fine.
But at the time to connect in vnc android viewer even after I followed all steps it says
"Vnc connection failed.
Failed to connect to localhost/127.0.0.1(port 5900).
Connect failed :ECONNREFUSED (connection refused)"
Plz help what can I do after that....
i dont know what the issue is, but just last week or the week before they said that they arent working on the project anymore and wont support it anymore.
OK but it should work at present state.because it is still in play store

Dunno then... Something must have gone wrong in setup if you've rebooted and still the same.
Or try a different image. The latest version definitely works. I checked it very recently. I didn't keep it though. It's no better than was 2 years ago really. Just not really useable. Maybe with a mouse if that's possible.

Yes I tried Ubuntu 13.10 and archlinux still no luck.
What can I do?

Is it necessary that WiFi must be enabled or just any other condition...?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Should work under all conditions. What kernel do you have?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Linaro kernel
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Mahdi ROM with linaro kernel
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
And does it support loop devices correctly? I would rule out kernel by switching to elementalx temporarily. That's because I know elementalx works but I don't know about linaro. If it works for you, you know Kernel needs tweaking. If not, you rule out kernel.
If still not working, delete all your downloaded scripts and uninstall the apps and start again from scratch.

It's just me or in your signature it's only a plain text, I mean there is no links apart for "Philz Touch Recovery" only, not for "SlimKat | ElementalX kernel"...
Oh yeah. My signature was too long so had to remove links. Anyway, easy to find in the index threadq or dev section.
