5.1.1 update

[McChen147]

Looks like 5.1.1 is real and the Nexus Player is the first to get it. Factory image has been posted and I assume an OTA will be following shortly.

Flashed and still can't cast to the damn thing without the FPS and motion being crap in the video

Wonder if there are any (significant) fixes for NP. I haven't really got any problems with mine so 5.1.1 doesn't sound very tempting for NP. For N5 on the other hand..

Edit: One problem btw, when casting the whole screen from our Nexus 5's, there sometimes isn't any sound. Reboot of NP workarounds this problem.

Do you have any issues with casting to it from the likes of showbox etc? ive tried so many different versions of apps to cast and they all produce the same issues with the NP that is not on the chromecast

One new change I noticed is they renamed Notifications to "Customize Recommendations" and put a new UI for it under the "Home Screen" settings. It makes since as calling them Notifications was quite confusing.

Actually no, I used to have problems but after 5.1 + some Google Cast Receiver update all my apps that I cast from works fine. I do not use Showbox.

Is Chainfire's root method still working on the Android v5.1.1 update?

Same experience here. Before the 5.1 + cast receiver update, I couldn't even cast a tab from my chrome browser. Post update, things work great. Kind of scared to do another update....

Im curious as well. Im having some trouble getting it to update the SU binary, and root only works in adb Shell at the moment

Edit - Nvm, it's working correctly

Hey, I flashed the 5.1.1 factory image and tried Chainfire's root method (booting the root.img through fastboot), but SuperSU won't show up/or get installed. Did you do it the same way or can you take me through the steps?

What I did was after using Chainfire's method, I installed SuperSU from the Play Store. Afterwards I booted with root.img one more time because it wasn't granting superuser and now it works.

I still cant update the binaries tho as this for some reason causes a boot loop. It might just be that I didn't wipe.

I just saw the same thing--can boot with the root.img, but updating binaries stays stuck at the spinning dots. Root does work, however.

In case you still need it I got it working by installing adbd insecure then manually pushing SuperSU.apk to /system/apps and the binary to /system/xbin

Are the folks running rooted 5.1.1 still having issues with Material Design apps that use 3-dots menus on the top taskbar of the app? If running Titanium Backup, can you use the batch function on the top taskbar?

Regarding rooting problems on 5.1.1

I fixed this problem with rooting 5.1.1 last week in my Android Toolkit *HERE*. The problem with SuperSU not showing in the Apps bar is fixed if you adb install the Superuser.apk file that was used to root. If you have already rooted and have installed the Toolkit you can go to section 19 from the Main Menu and select the Superuser fix (option1) to extract the Superuser.apk and adb install it. Android 5.1.1 is also fully supported with download/flash/root available.

I did post in Chainfires support thread to let him know about the 5.1.1 rooting problem but I guess he has been away on a well deserved break.

Mark.

5.1.1 and trying to use http://download.chainfire.eu/631/CF-R

As mentioned I installed SuperSU from the Play Store after booting the root.img. It tries to install but then fails. Upon reboot it stays stuck at the boot animation. Only way out is a fresh restore/re-booting the root.img. Any ideas?
