I'm on stock 7.1.1 (August patch level) with twrp and Sigma kernel v8.7 (awesome work btw). What's the recommended way to apply the latest OTA for the September patches? I'm comfortable with adb/fastboot and will, obviously, be flashing Sigma kernel again if it's overwritten in the process or...

Does this process require root or unlocking the bootloader? I'm trying to help a friend stuck on AT&T with build LMY48Z.

The Vudu app included here is the one for Android TV pulled from the Sony 4K display? And it's working now on any Android TV device? When the apk was first pulled I thought it was crashing on non-Sony devices.

I am seeing the exact same thing on a used Nexus 6 that I just picked up. It seems to only happen (so far) on my work's WiFi, although even that just started within the past couple of days. It works fine on the WiFi at home. Since I purchased the N6 to use with Project Fi which relies heavily...

So, the build.prop edit detailed in this thread works fine to make the ADT-1 a cast target for all Google Cast enabled apps. The problem is that it's hardly worth doing right now since Google Cast support on Android TV seems to be a work in progress. There's a support article that details...

For the purposes of modifying build.prop using "adb shell su", do you only have to flash the bootloader image from the linked post? I'd like to make the bare minimum changes so that future OTA's will install after restoring the original build.prop and flashing the stock bootloader.

I received a code too! I wonder if it can be stacked on top of the Valentine's Day offer...

LTE working?

Anyone have an invitation to spare? If so, pm me because I'd like one.

What version of Android is the latest stock Nook HD+ running? Is it still on ICS?

Unfortunately, when I select "wipe data/factory reset", the tab 8.9 reboots before finishing (on CWM-based Recovery v6.0.2.7). Any ideas what would cause that? In the mean time, I'm trying to "adb push" some other roms to it to get it to a working state.

How long does first boot typically take? Mine has been on the "squished" Nexus logo for probably 15 minutes now.

Well, the first 1,000 backers got the console for $95 and anyone backing $25 or more gets a "founders emblem" as part of their username. They're minor things but the "founders emblem" will be especially cool if OUYA really takes off. Just the acknowledgment that you were partly responsible for...

Duly noted. But there's something to be said for how to extend the Q's stock functionality without "hacking." (e.g. unlocking the bootloader, rooting, flashing, etc). The Q does some unique things, including the option to run headless, that I don't necessarily want to sacrifice. So stuff like...

What does this mean? That the phone is perpendicular to the NFC terminal (as if it were sitting on its edge) with the volume buttons almost making contact with the terminal? Or are you describing some other way to hold it?

Anyone care to test the latest experimental build of XBMC with hardware acceleration on the Q with CM10.1? I'm not getting hardware decoding on the Q's stock ICS which I was hoping to keep around for the @Home features. But if hardware decode works on CM10.1 then I might be convinced to give...

The easiest way to do this because it doesn't require unlocking/rooting/flashing a rom, etc (I haven't done it for Netflix but it should work): For control of the Q use a usb otg cable to connect a wireless receiver for keyboard/mouse. I use the one released for the Xoom (http://goo.gl/kHkNZ)...

Is it just a simple edit to "build.prop" to get rid of the navigation bar? At least at the moment, I'd rather do that then use a custom rom. Any instructions/howto?

Of course. The thing that I did immediately was get SqueezePlayer running on it. This allows the Q to play local music over the network in just about any format (e.g. mp3, 24-bit flac, etc.). Control is handled by an app on your phone/tablet like Orange Squeeze, Squeeze Commander, Logitech...

I just picked up a Q and it constantly disconnects from my router over WiFi. It turns out that my router is one of the "Routers with Known Issues" - https://support.google.com/nexus/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=2665467&topic=2663797&ctx=topic While not a solution for everyone, since connecting...

What's the recommended build to run if you have to have LTE? Stable, nightly 150, or something else? I'm on 148 and it's been great except for the Bluetooth acting a bit flaky. It used to automatically pair no problem, but as of late I need to toggle it off and on before it'll connect to my...

Was the source of this wallpaper posted anywhere?

There is no charge to request will call pick-up. They will determine the location that you will need to go to for the pick-up, although it's totally transparent during the process of making the request.

These are shipping UPS 2nd Day Air. Received my tracking # info from Google last night at 9:51 PM EST. Origin Scan in KY at 12:44 PM yesterday Departure Scan at 3:51 PM yesterday Arrival Scan early this morning in my state (PA). Departure Scan at 5:11 AM for an early delivery today (11/28)...

I couldn't wait on grkfire's reply and was able to track the case down for a reliable price from a seemingly reputable seller from the UK. http://www.mytrendyphone.com/shop/search-1.html?keyword=SKINNY+XL It cost $28.55 after the Euro to Dollar conversion to have it shipped to the U.S. by...

This looks nice. What site did you order from and how much did it cost you to have it shipped to the States?

Can anyone confirm what baseband version the stock 4.1.2 Takju should be on before flashing this? The update is failing for me during the patch verification checker thing and it's making a reference to the radio. Thanks!

A couple of issues that I've noticed in build 146: * Google Now doesn't respond to voice for invoking voice search (i.e. "hey Google"). This has worked, not worked, and then worked again in prior builds. * Single finger gestures for expanding/collapsing notifications doesn't work (was added in...

No, that's what I did with success (using the linked zip in the first post and credited to Maximilian Mary). The only difference is that I used CWM 6.0.1.0.

It wasn't without issue but I've flashed this successfully. Flashing the rom with latest TWRP for crespo4g failed. It went really fast like others are describing, even if I renamed the file with no punctuation. So, I flashed the latest CWM for the crespo4g according to ROM Manager (v...

I second this request. I'd prefer to run totally stock rooted for a while to see how it performs. I also have to rely on cwm flashable zips because ever since I dropped my phone, I can't get a reliable connection to mount storage on a PC or a adb/fastboot connection. :mad:

This seems....scammy.....for lack of a better term.

First person to post a link to a stock/rooted recovery flashable zip gets a virtual cookie. :p

Oops, my bad. In any case, that sounds excellent! I have an older build that's been mostly stable but I think it's time to flash now..

Is the "ring target" feature an app selector on the lock screen? Sometimes I wish I wasn't so security conscious (I use PIN security).

I concur. It'd be great if someone would throw up a mirror of build 125.

You can return for a full refund at Staples if there is a problem with the device, even though it's been opened.

My first Nexus 7 had some of the issues that people have mentioned: the screen lifting on the left side washed out colors - noticed fist on the Chrome app icon poor looking text in the Play Store 1 dead pixel, 1 dim pixel. I tentatively feel lucky as I was able to find a replacement in-store...

Thanks for confirming that you're seeing it as well. Also, I should have added that this did, in fact, work in previous builds.

Bug in build 118: Google Now does not wake up by voice. i.e. saying the word "Google" on the Google Now screen should make it start listening for voice input without having to hit the microphone button.

Do you anticipate that tonight's build (118) will include the new binaries?

Yeah! I'm looking forward to this. Is the fix included in build 117 that just went up a few minutes ago?

Portable Hotspot working? Can anyone confirm or deny that the portable hotspot feature is working? I tried tethering a Nexus 7 off the Xoom with EOS 3 and it wouldn't connect.

DRM. Unfortunately. I want to easily utilize custom roms, custom recoveries, and tools that require root without running afoul of DRM. It's the only Android device of mine that I think this is necessary, because it is very much a media consumption tablet.

That seems like it might be a useful tool that you've linked to so, thank you. However, it doesn't do (as far as I can tell) what I asked about. I don't want to return to stock and unroot. I just want to unroot. Returning to stock before unrooting would defeat the purpose of the 3rd step in...

Instead of this worthless post, why don't you do me a favor? Link to the post giving an UNROOT method. Obviously I know about the rooting threads in the developer forum.

Does anyone know if there's a procedure for unrooting the Nexus 7 yet? I'd like to unlock the bootloader, root, batch-install some apps with data, and then unroot.

This is good to know because I'm in a similar situation as you. Flashed EOS baseband while still on Bugless Beast (BB) and it's now showing as "Unavailable." A nandroid restore of BB didn't bring the radio back. I wanted to try the EOS JB rom anyway so I guess I'll be doing: Wipe Data and...

Can anyone confirm that there's a new radio? I've heard that there are 4G improvements. Also, any general impressions? How does it stack up to something like Bugless Beast?

Week one Xoom owner here. It's only gotten better with age and I still wouldn't trade it for any other tablet on the market.
