fc on google googles
some descriptions still in chinese.(belongs to the german/english rom von Moviestar)
wifi got sometimes error.need restart
the most thinks are cm based so it got the same bugs like the nightlys.
see the cm nighlty bug thread

large data drain on the Android.system process. 100 MB of traffic within 2 days is just unacceptable, probably in conjunction with this about a 4 times as high standy drain than in cm7.1.
When fast scrolling large lists (contacts, music) the letter indicator in the center of the screen gets stuck.
When using an app overriding the screen brightness setting (e.g. GPS Status) the brightness level does not switch back to automatic after exiting the app.
Some widgets are not sized correctly when they are put up on the homescreen.
GPS is somewhat slow, even though the userspace is updated like in cm7.1
Themes app is either force closing when selecting online apps or the preview screen goes blank after a split second showing available themes. This can be circumvented by installing themes manually by downloading them from the miui website.
Thats what I found out so far.

Battery life is dreadful, for me at least.
Apart from that, i've not noticed many bugs

nova 2 is working here

Funny enough, I managed to get 9 hours of usage out of 20% battery.
What I did was deny the android system process internet access using the firewall, disabled data when not needed and froze the MIUI messenger as well as antispam and sidekick application.

How do you deny that with the firewall?

Will it not harm the system by denying the android system process access to the internet?

I havent noticed any drawbacks so far. But I'm sure you're right. I'm waiting for arcee to merge the latest kernel update before switching back to miui.
The denial was necessary, because the process was eating away on my data package.

Blinkfeed and Gallery changes on 4.3 update

Everything seems to be working fine now on my phone. Finally figured out how to update my firmware. A couple of things that I noticed are:
1 - When touching a Facebook link on Blinkfeed, its does not take you to the post on your Facebook app anymore.
2 - The gallery app does not show pictures and videos for any online services. It only displays what is actually in your gallery. Before the update you would be able to see pictures from Facebook and other services. I have fixed this issue on my phone by just swapping the gallery app back to the version in Android 4.1.2. You can still select a track from your music library to use with a Zoe.

1. I get the same thing.
2. Not sure about that.

I haven't updated to 4.3 yet and I'm not able to go to a facebook link from blinkfeed. I think it may be something with facebook itself because it's been freezing up a lot for me lately as well.

I'm not sure if its an issue that came with the update or if they are just a couple of bugs from being rooted.

i think its a bug with facebook beta.

I am also on Facebook beta and the last update seemed to break this. I was not working before or after the update.

I guess one way to test this is by getting a non beta version of the Facebook app.

I was on Facebook beta and this broke before I even updated the phone to 4.3 It's a Facebook issue. I ended up leaving the beta, and I also did a factory reset of my phone because some FM radio service kept crashing when I was in the music player and it got irritating. Facebook works fine for me now.

Lollipop Gallery app

Hi Nexus 6 users. Can any of you tell me which gallery app you guys have on your nexus. Also, do you guys have "My files" app as shown in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8TXgCzxEnw

I use the stock Gallery app for most of the things I need, I rarely use Google+ Photos because it always shows the most recent upon opening rather than having individual folders set up for Camera, Screenshots, downloads, cloud backups, etc which I prefer using.
Hearing that the Nexus 6 is going to use G+ Photos by default as the Gallery I have been eyeing "Quickpic" since it emulates the stock Gallery plus a few more features. Plus they have a beta version out now that they are implementing Material Design which is a plus since I was originally going to just consider backing up and restoring the stock Gallery apk from my Nexus 4 over to my Nexus 6.
Keep an eye on QuickPic I say, wait for their stable Material Design update which will be soon and install it, otherwise just backup your Gallery APK and install it over onto the Nexus 6.
QuickPic (play link): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alensw.PicFolder&hl=en

Gallery app
The Gallery app can make an easy to moderate using Files set up. Gallery app function can add and install in limited time period for desktop or mobile applications.
Mod edit: Added direct link
Google Play-link
For more information Please visit our website :- secretvaultapp(dot)com

+1 for QuickPic :good:
Great app, looks and feels almost identical to the stock Kit Kat gallery app.

Gallery KK is better in my opinion

all i see is a lot of crying.. the gallery app works on the n6, all you have to do is install it. if you really are bummed about it, you shouldve searched google. btw, here is the gallery apk http://goo.gl/cfB8ak its included in aosp, just not stock.

On stock, is anyone else finding that the "Settings" menu item doesn't work on either this gallery app or the stock "Photos" app:
- On the gallery app I just get a black screen
- On the Photos app it just closes the menu
Weird

Old and dead thread, but since this guy above brought it back to life, I might as well add a bit;
https://android.googlesource.com/pl...droid/gallery3d/settings/GallerySettings.java
Probably the reason the settings activity is blank, is because it is actually an empty file.
*** https://android.googlesource.com/pl...y2/+/deb5910808d7363ca73b44804d89e5b430c03fcb
The code for the settings menu was removed during transition from gallery3d to gallery2 back in 2011.
If you look at the settings.xml file, you can see that the only options you were actually provided with were bogus anyway.

Not knowing where that came from, I certainly wouldn't install it on my phone.
So I forked the source myself, fixed it to build as a standalone with NDK, and posted the source to my github:
https://github.com/lbdroid/android_packages_apps_Gallery2
I did add a binary to the build/ directory of the project, but I still recommend compiling it yourself.
Edit: I just pushed a patch and new build that have the Settings activity stripped out of it. No more annoying people with empty activities.

So far I have found QuickPic is the best!

I noticed you had changed kernels. I did that and got all of the problems you listed. Trust me, its not L its whatever kernel you're using or even user error. Even greenify works now, but most root apps require a permissive kernel...sounds like you don't have one possibly, if you are rooted there's an SELinux policy changer app that will at the click of a button, modify the kernel between enforced and permissive. I use code blue, FK didn't work for me. Also not sure this thread will be open much longer. All the best.
Try posting this in general in the Lollipop thread.

Yea I don't have those problems either. I have had the keyboard predictions not come up some times though. I have also had the play music app bug which is really annoying me because I just bought some Bluetooth headphones and its ruining the hands free experience.

In recents/overview, after clearing all apps sometimes apps pop up if you tap the recents button again like Phone, Android System etc. Anyone else having this issue?

I'm having almost all those same problems as OP...I have it with FK. KitKat was way better and buttery smooth, no issues really. The one thing I really like about 5.0 is the lockscreen notifications..long overdue feature. Missing feature though: control time of music from lock screen.

There is something wrong with your image installation and or kernel and or phone.
I don't have any of the problems you listed after 2 days heavy use. My only complain is the lack of silent mode.

No offence mate, but calling this thread "all you need to know" is wrong.
I disagree with everything you said, having used heavily since about an hour after the image was posted by Google.
To suggest that your opinion is all people need to know is just plain wrong.
90% of root apps? Nonsense. Every root app I need works.
Crashes in chrome? None here. Same with all the gapps.
Most apps don't work proper? Really?
Launcher lags? Nope. And that word is thrown about all the time with no explanation or quantification.
You should at the least change the title of the thread.
