I've already seen that on the M Developer preview WiFi calling is working on the T-Mobile Nexus 6. Can anyone who has updated to the M preview on a Nexus 5 confirm if WiFi Calling is now baked into the OS like it is with iOS?

Google introduced that nifty tap Google now feature but for me it says it's not available. Anyone else experiencing this issue?
It's going to be available in the release version
Have any of you rooted the Android M?
After I flash the UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip into the device, it won't boot, just stuck at the booting animation.
Any ideas?

Fastboot flash the system image and possibly boot to get this fixed or alternatively rum flash all again. SuperSU has not been updated yet for M.

That helped. I did flash the system.img back to boot again, still without root.
Expecting the lastest supersu update!
Actually some news site says it works to root the android m, so i tried, and failed...

Native multiwindows support is available. You need to edit the build.prop and change ro.build.type to userdebug and it will show up in developer settings.

WiFi calling came to the Nexus 6 with LYZ28E, Android 5.1.1. I have yet to see WiFi calling working on Android M. Does anyone have a link to that? I would like to see someone port LYZ28E to the Nexus 5 though. Hopefully sooner than later as I can't think of any reason why it couldn't be ported by the right person.
Interesting tweaks to the lock screen: updated font weights and styles and also the dialer app shortcut is replaced with voice search. I like that you now have to swipe from the app shortcuts to launch them instead of just swiping to either side; I occasionally would launch the camera or phone app by accident when unlocking before.
Take this: SuperSU 2.49 Beta
Maybe it works, im downloading now.

A couple people on Reddit with Nexus 6 M preview installed said T-Mobile WiFi calling is working.

Apps I have that are not working:
Waze - Crashes on launch and causes background to turn and stay black until reboot
Uber - Crashes on launch
Evernote - Crashes on launch
Camera seems to crash randomly
Mostly app issues, but not sure when they'll get updated. I'd stay on M, but need Waze and Uber for some travel in upcoming days.
I love the new app tray, I once saw that in a custom rom on a device of a friend and I loved it.
If someone has errors while it should flash the system try to flash it by hand:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
then
Code:
fastboot flash cache cache.img
and continue with that system till the last .img.
Yes you always have to put the folder name in front of the .img (folder name = .img without .img)
after you manually installed those you have to execute "flash-base.sh" NOT FLASH-ALL.CMD OR YOU HAVE TO REDO FLASHING THE .IMG'S!!!
Oh and who wants to record 4k 30fps without flashing anything, THIS APP:
Snap Camera HDR: TRIAL // FULL (1.49€)
-> 4k Recording 30fps (Slightly scaled as the width is the same)
-> 3.4k Recording 30fps (Native Resolution)
-> 1440p Recording 60fps
-> 1080p Recording 120fps
(you can take the trial, just dont press the close button and wait the 10 seconds. I bought it my self cause its really worth it!)

Instead of trying to keep up on the two CM threads that are already going and talking about the exact same things I figured I would start up a new thread and see if this fixes anything.
--------------
I will admit... I don't know jack about programming... but I am good at messing with stuff and seeing if it works. I got a little bored tonight and noticed there was a new change to the MIUI ROM that adds 720p recording. So being Halloween... why not Frankenstein a little!
I grabbed the camera.apk from the MIUI ROM (its an AOSP ROM.. so it should work right? lolz). Copied it over to my clean install of CM6.1 RC2 and boom... no crashing recording using 720p.
I have recorded about 30 videos now that are anywhere from 2 seconds in length to 5 minutes... one after another... without a crash.
There are a couple options missing that CM has... but I think this would be a good start to resolving the issues.
Please keep in mind.... there are a couple things you will need to do.
1. Download the following APK. (see below)
2. Using root explorer... browse to /system/app and check the current permissions for the existing camera.apk. It should be rw-r--r--.
3. Copy the downloaded camera.apk and replace the one in /system/app.
4. Change the permissions of the new camera.apk to rw-r--r--.
5.Close root explorer and reboot your phone.
6. Open the camera app, switch to camcorder. Using the onscreen menu, change the quality setting from high to custom.
6. Now select the top option to change the video quality. Select 720p.
7. Profit.
If you don't know how to change permissions... or know how to copy apks... please.. please.. please don't do this. If you are comfortable with it... let me know if it keeps crashing.
I know it doesn't have all the fancy settings the CM camera does... but I think this may be a very good step forward. So far.. It hasn't crashed out on me.
If you are going to do this and record one video and say its fixed... please dont bother. We need REAL testing.
The camera.apk can be downloaded here....
http://www.mediafire.com/?q9y8zst9aeqlgc7
Thanks all... if this ends up not working... I blame the to much beer.
If it does... we may be on a good start to getting this fixed. Cheers.
Oh yea... if you are using the camcorder.. you can turn of the screen and it wont force close when you turn it back on. Win.
Here's an update.zip for it. Flash via recovery. Also added the original CM camera from the Incredible build. I'll post a few cameras for you guys to test.
Thanks goes to the OP for getting this in motion.

Thank you... I'll admit it... I fail. lol. Just trying to be of some help getting this fixed.
I have tried the Nexus camera.apk in the past... it had the same issue.
It seems that the 720p issue exists on most if not all of the CM builds.
The only difference I see from face value is that CM camera builds have the crazy auto focus. If you are in a quiet place, listen to the camera itself. It physiclly moves inside the housing.
If you ever happen to hear the camcorder app FC, you can hear a little "click" right before it force closes. That is the camera lens moving.
It appears that the auto focus is messing everything up. Without autofocus (the MIUI camera.apk)... everything appears to work as it should.
As soon as you throw in the fancy auto focus stuff... it causes crashes.
Food for thought. I don't know a lot about it... but progress is progress.
Thank you for a zip version, Root explorer doesn't work on AOSP roms for me, is this common across the board?

Works for me. Are you sure you gave it root access in SU with the remember button ticked?
Also, good to see that somebody took the initiative. I had posted in the CM forum this afternoon that the MIUI Rom had functioning cam but nobody seemed to notice and I don't have much skills - glad to see camalus did - going to try this right away...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=8931211#post8931211
I swapped the MIUI camera with root explorer and recorded 10 videos in 720p. The camera didn't fc on me at all. The videos looked good and playbacked smoothly on my phone and computer. The camera at times would get hung up for a second or two but I'm not complaining at all. Got a working camera now!
I just found that if you turn the focus mode to off in the camera settings with the camera that comes with cm6, this also allows you to record in 720p with no force closes. Funny its such an easy fix. As long as auto focus doesn't mean the world to you.
I have suspected for a while that the auto focus was causing issues.
I just loaded the patch on the newest nightly... no fc either.
I sent a message to koush on twitter. Hoping his intelligence can pinpoint this in more depth.
Here's to hoping!

Works perfectly for me. Taken 4 test videos in quick succession, no issues whatsoever.
Did not realize this was even an open issue. I believed this was already in the CM6.1 chain for inclusion in RC3 or whatever.
Ok. Just wanted to report my findings after flashing the zip file. The only settings I change in the camera was quality to custom in order to get the 720 resolution enabled.
Video #1: 1 min, 22 sec
I stopped recording of first video and without closing the camera app I started a 2nd video,
Video #2: Started recording and the camera freezed (FC would have been better) after 22 seconds. Had to pull out the battery to restart the phone.
In summary, is still not fixed. I'll revert back to the original Camera.apk.

Yes. The MIUI adds the 720p non-fc functionality, or at least it has so far.
Unofficial, no warranty, express or implied. Not final, nothing to do with the CM people, not backed by them, not made by them, may cause corruption of innocent kittens if used irresponsibly. I am posting this only because the main CM sources are not perfect right now for building for Qualcomm devices just yet, and need some tweaks in new branches.
CM 10.2 Android 4.3 built for, and working on Pollux_Windy, once again thanks to Sony using such nice, open-source-friendly devices.
Working:
WiFi
Compass + sensors
Sound
Bluetooth
Front + Rear Camera
External SD (including ExFAT)
Not Working:
GPS
This is for the Pollux_Windy (SGP311) Wifi ONLY tablet. It should work on the SGP312 (32 GB wifi only) as well, but will NOT work on the Pollux (with LTE).
http://goo.im/devs/pulser/TabletZSGP311/CM10.2/cm-10.2-20130810-UNOFFICIAL-pollux_windy.zip
Tried to flash this but i'm getting an error about device build prop not matching requirements. I had a 312 rom on first, and flashed a 311 stock rom, but still get the error. My device is 311 by default.
Do i need to edit my build.prop? Even though my device shows as SGP311?
EDIT: Ah nevermind, i had the stock bootloader still installed. Doh!
If anyone needs Gapps I found them here:

Updated to 30 July build - includes the new Focal camera app. Yes, it has a few bugs with tablets and orientation. It's known.
Is root possible yet? I tried the supersu zip that was attached in op, but still needs the binary according to the supersu app. Do we need to adb push the binary?
Edit: Nevermind, just tried the latest supersu and works fine.
I can't get a restricted user to work for the life of me. All kinds of processes are force stopping and I couldn't pick trebuchet from the list on setup either, though I did manage to work around that with Apex eventually, though Apex kept crashing too.
I assume apps might have to support this (or at least launchers?) But core processes?
I did dirty flash so it's possible that has something to do with it.
Still digging around. I'll clean flash later to retry restricted users too.

Restricted profiles are not tested or a priority right now in CM I believe.
Got this working on my xtz SGP311 seems really quick so far recovery plays nice, only real issues I've encountered is that the screen flickers black every now and then using the aosp browser and MX player pro doesn't work as android 4.3 isn't supported yet which has nothing to do with the rom.
WiFi and GPS seem to working used google maps to find a location and navigate there had no issues with those yet.
Definitely something different over the Sony ui and less cluttered just need the sony remote
Gonna have a play with it and see how I get on with it lots of options to play with hehe

Check out the project by @Apache14 that brings infrared remote control support to non Sony ROMs!
Are you sure gps is working? I don't think it should be in this ROM...
I had a go at the open source IR by apache but had no luck getting it to work, but I'm not sure if I installed it right.
I'll have another play with GPS today as I've got more time and let you know I could have jumped the gun on this one lol. I quickly downloaded an app called GPS test and although it says the GPS is on it doesn't show anything else like coordinates or location I'll keep playing for now though.

Thanks a lot for throwing this together... everything seems to be working great, I'm impressed by focal.
I'm still struggling with is the absence of tablet UI (trying to hit the home softkey in landscape is impossible, so I've been forced to full!screen, which is working well), but it's a small price to pay for the jump from Sony's 4.1.2 to a functional 4.3 Rom.

Interesting. Out of interest, how do you use your tablet ? I'm just trying to work out if there is any link or difference - personally I thought the same, that tablet was good, until I used my Nexus 10... Then I was "sold" - tablet UI was sub-optimal. I tend to use the tablet with 2 hands - one holding it, another free across the top for use. I find keeping navigation to the centre more logical personally, and more ergonomic. It also keeps the notification tray at the top, consistent with the phone. At other times, I use the tablet as a "monitor" and type with a Bluetooth keyboard, where I do not interact with the touchscreen much (except at arm's length), and find phablet UI quite convenient. Moreso than I felt with tablet UI.
It's intriguing though. I am sure I can look at readding it some time, but I'm fairly busy so it will take a while. I noticed Sony seem to be moving to phablet UI for 4.2 as well though...
I hold mine on the sides and mostly interact with my thumbs, thus central on screen controls are hard to reach. But, to each his own. I also use Thumb Keyboard exclusively on my tablets, much more natural than trying to type with one hand holding with the other.
so yeah i finally got around to testing the GPS navigation and it just says "Searching for GPS" the whole time so confirmed its not working.
i also found a issue with the swipe to type on the AOSP keyboard as soon as i tried to use swiping it force closed the keyboard, not a big issue just thought id mention it.
i noticed you've done a couple of updates as well whats the best way to update the rom just flash as usual using the file in op?

Just like with CM nightlies, just flash the latest update right over whatever you have.
In rare cases other changes will be needed, maintainers will usually let you know in these cases.
I'm investigating GPS on 10.1 on the windy - it's proving to be a bit of a headscratcher, although it has many of the hallmarks of the same problem we had with the modem on mint (Xperia T) months ago. Unfortunately, we can't use the same fix/workaround we used on mint.
pulser, may want to check the CM10.1 thread for my SMD debugging patch, might give some useful info - although what I need to do is get a build environment together for stock kernels so I can apply that patch to .370 for comparison.
i hate to sound like a noob but i am still learning lol is it safe to just flash the updates with cwm or is it best to do it with the flash tool?
it seems like gps has got a lot of people scratching their heads at the moment but im sure with so many looking into it there is sure to be a solution soon
Edit: its OK I went ahead and flashed the update using cwm and it worked, I'm to impatient to wait lol but at least I've learned something
Updated to 10th August build
Will you continue to tweak now that official nightlies are out?
Hi guys this are the problems that i noticed after the update. This thread is specially for XT1058 but they could be in any builds too
why we dont have the full material launcher ?
sometimes my moto voice starts up without/with any command even in pocket.
moto voice's resposiveness is less than KK one. ----> this happens because of custom launch phrase.
and my phone does not go into sleep mode even after passing of time set in settings .
does anyone have this problems ??
David schuster told that there were some bugs in final release and they're planning updates for them.

Not sure what you mean about the launcher. The Moto X has always has a slightly modified launcher. You can download the Google Launcher from the store.
I did have the same issue with the phone not going to sleep. I rebooted and have not had the problem since, though I can't say for sure yet that it won't happen again.
I'll tell you what problems I faced.
- 1st fresh install, complete sbf: after 24 hs of using it without problems, the phone freezed, rebooted and after the bootanimation bum! black screen. It was on because if I held power button I can see the power off banner. After many reboots getting the same results, I decided to factory reset. And just in case, I reflashed Boot and System.
- 2nd fresh install: I'm getting the static noise bug on moto voice, WiFi toggle dissapears sometimes...
I don't want to keep playing this with a joke rom. I wish I stayed on KK.
CM here I go...
I took an OTA and no problem since. Has it ever occurred to you that you cause the problems you described by not following the general practice? Why sbf? Why not OTA?

Well I own a Movistar 1058 so I flashed retail Brazil for 1058 (it works for every 1058 latam).
I also flashed manually (mfastboot). I think it's 'cleaner' than RSD (and by the way I've never used RSD). Besides I have always used mfastboot to flash stock KK after using custom roms and never had a problem. So I discard the method to be the culprit. Aaand, I've seen others reporting same issues too.
Hello,
I've updated to 5.1 recently and made Factory Reset.
Problems:
1) Google GMail app does not support Exchange Account - for some reason Lolipop has separate application for exchange accounts -_- which is worthless because GMail should support it by default, thats very annoying for me, i dont want to use extra apps.
2) Sometimes BACK button doesnt work when i finish scrolling through Facebook app and i am forced to minimize the app and then restore it again.
3) Sometimes, especially after i unplug the phone from the charger, my screen doent want to go to sleep, it just literally sucks my battery life, only thing that helps this bug is a restart
Those are 3 major things that annoy me after update.
Is it only me with the Exchange problem or everybody else got this thing messed up ? I was really hoping to setup exchange on my Gmail app after the update....

Google TTS distortion Moto X AT&T 5.1
I updated to 5.1 on XT1058 AT&T variant of Moto X 1st gen on 7/7/15.
When I have Moto read aloud my text messages the audio output is highly distorted. When I listen to podcasts I have no distortion. If I go to settings/language & input/Text-to-speech output/ and press Listen to an example it is distorted.
In the past with KitKat 4.4.4 I was able to uninstall the latest version of Google TTS which resolved the problem. With the 5.1, neither the current version of Google TTS dated 7/8 nor uninstalling the current version work to solve the issue.
Does anyone have this issue?
Has anyone found a solution?
I tired listening to a tts example it was very clear, my tts version is 3.4.6.1819666.arm you can try it with other tts engine. There are some engines available on play store
What drives me nuts is the stutter I get when swiping away my recent apps. But no other issues so far for me.

I am using the same version of TTS as yours. I tried Ivona TTS, but there is no way to force the use of Ivona over Google TTS in every instance. It's a known issue with trying to use other TTS engines as the default engine. You end up with 3 different characters speaking/reading to you.
Thanks for checking your TTS

Thanks for the link, that cleared out some things for me, but I've noticed that app looses it's settings after the reboot, is there a way to fix my option (Default is LTE/GSM, but i want it to be GSM - Auto), theres a lot of other buttons that i hardly understand what do they do
Thanks
Hey all. For anyone that hasn't already done so, the gallery app from the V40 (I'm guessing) is compatible with our devices. Personally feel it's a big improvement over the original.
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/lgele...-release/gallery-7-0-45-android-apk-download/
Edit: I've also updated the stock camera and quick memo apps using the current ones on apk mirror and they work well. Mileage may vary on all of this as I'm running a bunch of magisk modules (anxious by whiskeyomega for example which already mods the camera) so that's why I'm not giving a feature run down of each since it may differ on stock devices.

I've installed the latest version of gallery app and I can't change wallpapers after that. Is there any solution about that?

How are you trying to change it? Settings > display> wallpaper seems to work fine still.

That's the same camera version in my module, Whiskeyomega (not tagging to not bother them) was just where the needed code for the dual speaker and DAC code was from.
Warning for others: Anyways you should always be weary of updating OEM apps via regular install methods (outside of the Play Store) as they aren't always uninstallable via regular methods. And you'll have to delete the data/app/*app name* folder in twrp if you ever end up with a non boot or something.
Also if you ever do want the updated versions from newer phones just download roms, kdz, dumps and extract what you want. You can get newer stuff sooner.

Very good point. I made the mistake of assuming everyone has a recent backup....
Just now I almost had to restore my phone thanks to some apks that I wanted to try out. So please don't be a guinea pig with this kind of thing unless you know you can revert back to a working version if the worst happens. (For reference I tried updating system ui, network, and settings packages that were all just posted recently and ended up uninstalling those due to system ui loop and then subsequent crashes)
That being said, the gallery app seems like a pretty safe update across the devices but everyone's risk is their own to take.
A bit of offtopic - as i browse apkmirror's LG software (https://www.apkmirror.com/uploads/?q=lgelectronics) i can see that there is for example newer version of FM radio. Did anyone try it on V30? How do i know for what phone is this version?

Did not work for me, even when tried as a system app. If you want the FM radio app, I am fairly certain the one ported from verizon in the LG v20 forum works fine.

Thanks! Yeah this version looks better

From the same page I updated my LG Home and Music. I do like the UI improvements on those apps. But I realize those are draining my battery! The screenshot below shows what I'm talking about.
Is there a reason why newer version demands more battery?

Yesterday I've updated the gallery, the calendar, quick memo+ and the weather app.
In calendar and quick memo+ I didn't find changes but the gallery is much better and also the weather app is very nice.

You can uninstall an OEM app that you tried to install but didn't work. Just go to Apps & notifications/App info/ then choose your app. If your OEM app doesn't have the uninstall option, look at the top right for the three dot menu, then select uninstall updates. Now your back to where you started.

It works, but not with default theme.
I was able to install almost all updates except FM and I have stock LG V30+ Oreo
NOTE: Don't update system UI, I did it and lost navigation bar and notification bar.
Also if anyone get's into any issue or fc, simply go to apps and from top right three dot menu, select uninstall updates. you should be good to go after that.

Did you install the lg home latest version successfully?
Since yesterday the weather app is crashing when I leave it. I don't know why, nothing has changed but I think is for an update of google play service. It's only my thinking not sure about it.
Anyone with an idea ?

Yes. Did not find any change though. Anyways I use Ruthless pixel launcher.
And checked camera after this update. Loving it every bit. Has new Google Lens and it could be a placebo but I feel the picture quality has improved and so is the front cam quality.
I just started to update to the GEN_EU_EEA_A2020G_Pro_V2.3 with Android Q.
DARK mode included!!!

Finally! Hope its Bug free, or at least ready for daily use

The face unlock is a bit slower than before, but overall seems more polish regarding the transitions and gestures.
Nevertheless, i think it needs a bit more "speed" on the transitions.

That's a easy fix,
Head over to " Developer Options " and change all Animation from 1 to 0.5
I did the bootloader unlock first. Broke the OTA. Can not be installed. Packet not matching the device.
Relocked the bootloader and it still does not work.
Did anyone update to Android 10 and unlocked the bootloader afterwards?
Sorry but last update is fu.ked up.Gestures in "System navigation" menu don't work.I can't choose this option. Only Virtual Navigation is available
Also I noticed much worse photos from stock camera

Blame Google for that, they managed to break the thirdparty launcher support in Q. If you want gestures, use the stock launcher.
Android Q problems
Any one else who can't se the files in file explorer? Nothing is erased but it won't show either. The same with music in music player. Also a bit lag especially when screen lock is on and I want to control apps running.
the update can only be made if no magisk root and no twrp is installed (if twrp and magisk is installed, the update cancels) whether the bootloader is unlocked is irrelevant during the update

No, blame ZTE. Google fixed this issue with 3rd party launchers back in December. ZTE didn't implement the fix prior to pushing their update. This is on them! And they need to push a fix ASAP cause this is unacceptable!
Does anyone of you experience slow camera? It loads forever. Also switching the lenses.
Both with ZTE camera and Google camera mod.
Plus desktop mode works now [emoji1]
but the DPI is very low on my full HD screen. So not much fun yet.
Android Q issues
Since the new update of my mobile, the ZTE axon 10 pro, to Android Q I am experiencing problems:
*I can't turn of battery saving mode which makes my gps often useless.
*The always on display shuts off when I select specific hours of operation for the always on display.
*When the screen is locked then the mobile doesn't respond directly when I press something, always with a few seconds delay.
*Native file explorer can't find my files, I need to install third party apps to solve it.
*Sometimes the phone freezes, especially when using Chrome.
The are other small issues as well.*
I would like to sideload the new update to see if the problems will disappear but I can't find the zip file for the new update .
Anyone that has the zip file for the global version?
Anyone with similar or other issues?
Any ideas how to fix these?
Thanks in advance!

I never turn battery save mode on. I will check it.
*The always on display shuts off when I select specific hours of operation for the always on display.
I never see this. Once I realized that it turned on with almost 1 minute delay but I didn't check it once again.
*When the screen is locked then the mobile doesn't respond directly when I press something, always with a few seconds delay.
It is always fine for me.
*Native file explorer can't find my files, I need to install third party apps to solve it.
I have never used built in file explorer but I tried it. It works fine for me.
*Sometimes the phone freezes, especially when using Chrome.
I don't know Chrome. I use Opera. Very rarely it waits for longer time but it comes back in reasonable time. The phone has never been frozen fully.
May be you should do factory reset and also get all update from Google Store.
Hello,
I cannot see update to version 2.3 in system updater.
Do I need to do something more to be able to get this package with Android 10?
I am in the same boat.
I have the European version and android 10 is not showing at system updater.
Currently on 1.8

Messaged ZTE about the EU update to the A2020G variant.
"Thanks for contacting ZTE, we are sorry for the inconvenience caused to you.
We would like to inform you, updates when available are sent onto the phones via OTA (over the air).
Also it will be released based on the IMEI numbers as well, hence we kinldy request you to wait for the notification on your device for the update."
Guess its luck of the IMEI draw .

I think it's a standard bull sh answer from them. Have you done any alterations to your rom? i have received the 2.3 android 10 version 2 months ago.
The reply you got can't be factual!
