I think replacing the launcher is the primary reason people would want to root the shield. It's the only reason I've done it since Leanback is just sort of clunky.

It worked for me on my Vizio P55! This was an absolute lifesaver. I had rooted about a month ago (I was not aware of your hacked 4k version of TWRP) and ended up borrowing a monitor from work so I could complete the steps since I couldn't get any display on my TV and don't have any other...

No worries, appreciate the responses anyway. Hopefully it just randomly starts working at some point since I don't feel like going through the hassle of returning it. Edit: Just tried a different cord and it worked! So, apparently not all cords provided with the Shield will work with fastboot...

Yeah, directly plugged in with no hub in between. Tried both the cable included in the box and another I had nearby. I might try some other cables I have lying around later today, just for the hell of it.

It's the 2017 model. I triple-checked which USB port to use and definitely had the controller plugged in prior to sending the command to boot to bootloader. I also tried the manual way to boot to fastboot by holding the A+B buttons and unplugging/plugging in the device. No luck, the devices just...

I don't suppose you have any thoughts for what to do on the non-Pro model? I'm having the same issue where the controller doesn't seem to work at all in fastboot (works fine in the Android OS, though) and it just means I'm stuck now since there's no power button.

I was just trying the non-root method since I'd never gotten around to rooting. I'll go ahead and go with that, though. Thanks!

Thanks. Not time critical at all, but I appreciate you looking into it.

I wanted to revert after I upgraded to N just to see what the default launcher was like again. Using the unhide command, I got this error: Any thoughts?

They're talking about tab casting, which they do need a tough computer for. Your pc does all the heavy lifting (because it's converting on the fly) when streaming content through Chrome, unlike the official apps that pull content directly from the internet.

I have and I'm not a huge fan. I've also used Splashtop, which is handy, but not perfect. I use Yatse for controlling XBMC and, like Netflix w/ Chromecast, all the control/navigation can happen on the tablet before telling your TV what to display which seems to make the most sense to me. I have...

I've used an HTPC as my primary mode of content delivery for years and I've been always searching for a better way to completely eliminate the need for a mouse/kb. My remote and tablet both fully XBMC for all the things I download. But my other big source of content has been Netflix, for which...

I usually get about 2 days of usage with 7+ hours of screen time on mine before I worry about plugging it in. I have my brightness at the lowest setting the entire time, which I'm sure helps, but there just doesn't seem to be a need for me to have it any brighter.

RAZR M - 4.82 x 2.40 x 0.33 RAZR M HD - 5.15 × 2.52 x 0.35 That's just based on the link you provided, who knows if it's actually legit. That's not a huge phone by any stretch, but I thought it was perfect in its original form. If the screen is truly 4.5, then I figured it would have to be bigger.

I feel like the whole reason the RAZR M is awesome (size) is ruined with this "upgrade". It's wider and taller, why not just get a MAXX? The M is the only new phone out these days with good specs that is a manageable size.

You're suggesting Google begin hardware manufacturing without any background or experience in the area? They'd have to start from scratch, which is completely impractical. They have heavy involvement in the design of Nexus devices, but there's no reason they should do the actual manufacturing...

The Infinity is 0.5mm thinner and 5g lighter. I can't imagine how a human would actually notice that difference.

Been using mine pretty steady to surf the web, control my HTPC, or watch Netflix and the battery is doing great. http://i.imgur.com/MDvef.png

Typing this reply from my 16gb one. No screen issues of any kind. It's fantastic build quality.

It's not in his build yet, but you could just change your lock to a PIN or password.

Because I paid $250. I'll probably try selling it for $600. Why miss the chance to make a huge profit? Thanks for the info, guys.

I feel like an idiot for having to ask this, but I honestly can't find real info on it. I just got the Nexus and decided that I want to stick with my DInc2 for the size. But, when selling it online, what do I do about the LTE SIM? Do I include that, or is that something the buyer has to acquire...

Ah, gotcha. That makes sense. Thanks!

Guess I'll be the idiot here. Ummm...what? I understand USB mass storage, but don't know what your explanation of the Nexus' lack of it means.

I think it's great to have a variety of options so I hope you continue to work on this, but since you mentioned there might be an impact if CM starting working on ICS: https://twitter.com/#%21/cyanogen/status/136313427248431104

While I'm not going to defend anyone bitching about a custom ROM that is provided to us free of charge, cell phones are a lot of people's main line of communication to anything and everything, simple or emergency. So yes, they are serious business.

This thread should really no longer be stickied since it's inaccurate info in the title. Any ROM will work, the issue is that you need to root and get S-OFF before you can flash a ROM. You'll want this thread for instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1219246

I have the problem with Star Chart. It's an app like Google Sky, but it's not a Google app.

Yep, compass still an issue in #50. The other issues aren't a problem for me, but it's really hard to toy around with Star Chart with the compass backwards. :)

Amen to that.

Running CM7, anything higher than normal clock would freeze when I was running 1.1.0. Tried 1.0.4 and have had no issues so far.

I'm not having any luck. I'm using revolution 0.4pre4 and it hangs every time after it says: I've left it there for at least 15 mins each time, sometimes 20 or 30, but no change. The cursor is blinking, so it's not actually frozen. I've triple-checked everything. I'm in charge only, ran...

Very good point. And that makes HTC's promise for unlocked in the future even more impressive because they're going against the carriers. Though, I suppose we shouldn't hold our breath until we actually see the phones arriving unlocked out of the gate.

That makes perfect sense, but phone manufacturers have historically tried to protect themselves. They didn't want to have users complaining about bricked phones and blaming them for it. Also, they get to force people into their unique user experience (Sense, Motoblur, etc.) so that they...

I actually chose to install the OTA because, after a year of keeping my Eris afloat with ROM updates on a weekly basis, I thought I was ready to have my phone be officially supported and to get a break from constant tweaking. I made a bad decision. :( I'm ready to not constantly be installing...

Anyone come up with a solution to this? I have an Inc2 with the issue. I also have to have a PIN for my Exchange server, so I imagine that's what's causing it. But, it's quite annoying and it'd be nice to have a fix.

The regularity of shed's updates have spoiled me. I haven't had any big issues with any updates that weren't solved by a full wipe and I've been loving every iteration of the ROM. But, once the SGS2 comes out on VZW I'll be jumping to that. While I'll love having a powerful phone that can do...

I was able to select it and it seemed to work for me because an update for an app popped up pretty quickly. You have to open up the market to re-accept the agreement, though.

Try a complete data wipe. That bug happened to me at some point. I believe it was before I flashed 2.8. But, I'm fairly certain I did a data wipe since then and have not experienced it since.

What sort of CPU settings are people having the best luck with in terms of battery life on 2.7? Since updating, my battery seems to be dying a bit quicker even though I'm hardly using my phone.

Anyone having issues connecting with Picasa? In the gallery, I'll try to share a pic via Picasa and it won't retrieve my album names so that I can choose where I want to upload. If I just click upload without selecting an album it just says, "Failed to retrieve account info." I double checked...

Just wanted you to know that your problem is not unique. I had been able to connect to my school's exchange server without issue forever, but last weekend they upgraded to Outlook 2010 for their interface. Since then, I haven't had any succes and, like you, I tried every single domain/username...

GPS doesn't seem to be working for me either. Random question: anyone get WordFeud to work? Strangely, I can live w/o GPS for now, but I can't live w/o WF. Must....play....with.....letters..... Other than that, this is definitely usable day to day. PK is truly a benevolent god. :)

I've been using KaosFroyo since ~v22 and love your work. I was wondering if you were going to do something awesome like this. I need my phone to function so I'll wait until maybe you get a more stable release out, but damn, you rock, dude! :)

My exchange email has been working fine. Security restrictions seem to come across from the server. Sure it's not a server-side issue for you?

I'm having an issue with stuttering sound. It's mostly when I used headphones, the music will stutter and jump very badly. It does this consistently with the default music player and with Pandora. Through the speaker it isn't nearly as bad, but still jumps a little bit. This issue cropped up for...
