2.2.1 update is out! - Shield Tablet General

Installing the OTA now. Includes color correction fixes and an improved netflix experience apparently. Hopefully retains the performance enhancements we received in 2.2.
I believe this is the WIFI zip: http://ota.nvidia.com/ota/rom/productionBL-droid-signed-wx_na_wf-full_ota-29979_515.3274.zip
Mod edit: I have edited the thread a little to publish the OTA links in the first two posts. I changed the title as well. Enjoy!

Great, the color issue has been bugging me.
Anyone have the full update urls for flashing in cwm? (How do you find those, btw?)

After the update this morning the sensitivity of the screen is completely gone and worthless!!! Adjusting the sensitivity does not solve the problem! Experience went from 9/10 to 5/10 for me. Anybody else having the same problem?

Update. : it looks like the calibration of the sensor increases with the number of calibrations you execute. So after 4 times redoing the calibration it looks like i have my sensitivity back where i wanted it.

Yea if anybody could provide the build number for this version, it would be much appreciated.

does anybody have a link with a flashable zip ( Ota full file ) for me which works with cwm?

Double tap very quickly model number in settings /about tablet./model number and then touch the "touch" button and follow the directions.

OTA 2.2.1 ZIP file.
You might want to remove the checks for device and such as it doesn't work on my device. I have the Wifi version.

Thanks for this. Build number is 29979_515.3274 for anybody that wants to know. I'll be uploading the OTAs to the link in my sig if anybody would rather download from there.

great, thanks! is there a way to flash it with cwm without loosing the cwm recovery?

Can anyone tell me where you find the links for the full cwm flashable OTA. I always just get them from the forum post but I would like to know where you find these so I van get it myself. Like right now nobody has posted a link to the us WiFi only full 2.2.1 ota yet and if I knew where to look I could go get it myself. Thanks

I assume that the same rules apply for hotfixes when rooted? Flash in custom recovery, wipe cache and dalvik, flash superuser? Is wiping the cache necessary?

Just updated mine ,but the colors seem the same on rgb(reddish) and native (greenish); only really noticeable on whites though, also no touch issues for me...
And lastly what color correction mode are you guys using?...

Flashed this and SuperSU using TWRP, and everything seems to be working okay.

Mine freeze only when I open Chrome and I tap on the address bar, I use the SwiftKey keyboard. Do you have the same problem?

Exactly. I'm gonna ditch SwiftKey and see if it's that. It's anything Google related when it freezes. Google play, play music, Google search, or Chrome. It's either play services related or SwiftKey. I'll report back after ditching SwiftKey.
Edit: even after just a short period of time I can tell you this has helped big time! No more Swiftkey for me at the moment! Now my only issue is WiFi speed

Ooh, got the email too. Gonna go play with it.
Edit: Ok, the beta swype link does not recognize my phone as an android phone if I'm using Dolphin Browser HD... had to use the stock browser to download the installer.
Got the email couple of hours ago, and just updated right now. Doesn't seem much has changed. Anyone else know whats new in this version?
Thnks, email Link is just to the installer which needs a Beta username and PW to run so no use for non beta members. But a link to the actual APK via PM would be great. Cheers.
New features/fixes are:
Added better context sensitivity for the “magic button” (go/search/enter/smiley)
Added automatic apostrophe insertion for contractions (e.g. won't, don't, wasn't, etc)
Added the Italian language dictionary
Improved sensing of field type to prevent the display and addition of passwords to the UDB (user dictionary)
Improved suppression of auto-spacing in fields such as URLs and email addresses
Updated the built-in dictionary to include several common words that were previously missing
Rewrote some settings descriptions to be more clear on their functionality
Fixed licensing issue causing “Limited Functionality” errors when rebooting devices running Android 2.0 and later
Fixed licensing issue causing some users to receive an “Incorrect ID” error when installing Swype
Fixed a bug where manually typing some words with word-prediction enabled would cause Swype to crash
Fixed a bug which caused some words added to the UDB to erroneously override other words when word-prediction is enabled
Many other minor bug fixes!

That alone would warrant an upgrade. Text entry in URLs and emails is the reason I gave up on Skype beta. So looks promising.

Thanks bro...
The word recognition is so much faster than the original beta.
I got the email about 4 hours ago (on my N1), downloaded the software and installed it. You have to remove both Swype and the older installer else it fails. I am sure there are tons of underneath the hood improvements, but the one that I saw immediately was when you enter numbers, they show up in the suggestion list in blue.
...and pecking keys is now so much more do-able. ie when you want to enter a non word such as a password. THANK YOU Swype devs for listening and fixing those two major bummers that were there before and are fixed now. Good Stuff.
Actual swiping doesnt work for my N1 on Froyo, all stock - any thoughts? - Only outlines the texting field in blue on the edges and then no text shows up - only allows me to type like normal - this is with the 1.56
Thanks for the heads up. I did not receive the email yet but downloaded it anyways. It seems much faster so far. I guess we will see how well they did after a few days of testing.
Thanks heaps!

It's a good new indeed. But don't understand why you're waiting for JB to use the tablet.
As I know JB is a "minor" update, and Thinkpad with ICS's working very fine for me (not like the crappy 3.1 !!!)
Loving my TPT on ICS, I don't care for JB on it, I just want root access!
Thank's to Koshu!
I've successfully installed CM10 v. 0.5, but have problem with layout switch on external Thinkpad Folio keyboard. "CTRL+SCPACE" combination doesn't work. It's annoying to change layout through settings..
It'll be good to change input language by pressing "Sym" key on keyboard as it were in original firmware.
P.S. Can't post it to dev forum.
wow, great work Koshu!
Outstanding job! Works great! Screen lock works fantastic!
Quick question: using adwlauncher and the screen draws sometimes get a bit messed up. The only scroll method that works is regular side to side bounce. Any thoughts?
Thanks again and awesome job!
Interesting just changed density hack option for icons. Unchecked screens are not useable. Checked screen useable but screen draws sometimes get messed up. Would this have something to do with the density issue you mention?
Also, noticed Gallery app doesn't show synced account photos fro Google. Not sure how to fix this.
Latest update - v5, Bluetooth appears to be broken
I saw this in the developer thread, but I'm not allowed to post there yet.
I wanted to confirm that I am also seeing the problem with Bluetooth not being able to turn on, after apply v5 of this ROM. Everything else seems to be working great, though.
Update: Oops, sorry, I guess this thread is for Thinkpad, not the Ideapad K1. My comments apply to the latter.

Yep that is correct.
Since I am still a few posts short of the required 10 for posting in the development section I will give my feedback here.
Koshu released an experimental version 0.8 today, I installed it and ran into one rather annoying problem, the browser button seems to disable not only touch input, but also pen input. I have already wiped and reflashed, if I can provide any helpful logs or some such just let me know it.

A few posts shy as well. Was thinking of flashing 0.8 , but it sounds like it may ne good to wait. Current version doesn't have touchscreen working for some major games like deadspace and shadowrun. Hoping that gets fixed soon.

ah ok, thanks. it showed while I tried to post here and over at official lenovo forum. maybe its related to forum sites...
I think it's the recent firefox update. It seems it is very hard to even press a link now. this was better before.
so no blame to koshus great work!
This policy of the 10 posts before posting on the development forum is driving me crazy. I have a lot of questions on this rom but zero answers...
...let's try anyway...
I am experiencing a relevant and annoying issue: when I plug the hdmi cable in, there is a significant drop in responsiveness. For instance, Lecture Notes becomes almost unusable. Any clues? I didn't notice this problem before with the stock kernel. Can it be related to a driver issue?
My first post here... let me just say thanks for the awesome work with CM10 on the TPT Kosh!
I flashed 0.8.1 on my TPT last night which had a SC rom (lots of Chinese apps etc). It works well but I have noticed the TPT is rebooting randomly. Doesn't seem to be consistant as I can watch a 40 minute video, let it sit idle for 3-4 hours with no reboot.
Anyone else have these issues? Is there any log files I can look at to see what is causing it to reboot?

there's a bug with the CPU performance in that if you try and set the max and min values and check "set on boot" they somehow get reset to the default settings or get maxed out. this only happens when "set on boot" is activated.
Just an FYI the CM Nightlies have a CPU bug. Mine was charging for an hour and it gained 8% battery and was so hot I didn't even feel safe holding it. (This is coming from someone who has done alot of crazy and stupid stuff with my phones) The charger was hot as hell as well. Not sure if its a charging issue or CPU clock/voltage issue (it runs a lot hotter then GPE under load) but be warned.
Switched it back to GPE and its fine.. Also keep an eye out for ART, don't have it charging while making the switch (android is upgrading screen). The phone will get molten and I am not joking.

the CPU wasn't an issue in CM10.2 so it's something in CM11...will probably end up going to OmniROM instead.

I havent been having any issues with overheating. in the latest build however there are constantly force closes of the sound search process. not sure what thats about.
Anyone else having issues with the internet search results not coming up in the dialer search bar?

yes, i am replying to my own post... apparently if you go to settings -> accounts -> Google -> Search and enable google now, then the "ok Google" hot word that activates search in the persistent search bar on the home screens does not work.
As soon as i disabled google now, the ok google hotword activates voice commands again, as it should.
Is this normal?

I was getting these error messages and all the latest nightlies weren't installing for me either, with no information given with the error message,
So after many hours of messing around, I figured out the problem. I use clockwork to flash my mods. And I downloaded "ROM Manager" from Play Store. When starting the program, I noticed a message saying there was a new version of clockwork available and asked if I wanted to download it. I figured, what the hell, couldn't hurt! So I downloaded, installed it. Then updating to the latest nightly (cm-11-20140525-NIGHTLY-m7.zip) worked! No more problem!

I'm noticing that in most applications when I bring up the Google keyboard, it covers up at least half of the typing area and also any send button that maybe in the application but not on the keyboard itself. Does anybody know how I may be able to fix this? I'm finding typing in this ROM very difficult. Mistakes are coming up that I swear have never happened in any other rom work keyboard I've used. Is this possibly a scaling issue? Thanks for any help someone may be able to offer.

I had to double check some stuff and what i found seemed to confirm what I have read around here. I dont have the Sprint variant but there are quite a few people that seem to have your same problem on the ls980 after leaving stock. From what i gather the most used method is to flash all the way back to stock and get a gps lock. copy your gps.conf file to your pc and then copy that over after you flash your custom rom.
It doesnt seem to be a guarantee a fix either but has worked for some people.

Mixed Answer. Most AOSP roms *unless drastically changed* will have terrible scaling on devices with our screen. its because at 480 dpi everything gets stretched out and thats why some menus and items will seem out of place on install. Now some keyboards are better than others. i find the recent google keyboard *not in the playstore* works great but I also scale my device to either 440 dpi or 420 dpi and that seems to be a perfect fit.

this was changed i realized but...On DSB and other newer features coming down to LS Rev3nt3ch doesnt really have much say in if these features get added.

ExistenZ Marshmallow problems and solutions

Our beloved developer @niaboc79 is getting very tired of people always asking the same questions and posting their problems in the development topic of his rom.
So I decided to make this topic in the "general" section of the forum where people can post about their problems and hopefully some solutions, in the hopes that it will help him and the people having problems at the same time.
Whenever a cause or a solution for a problem is found, I will put it in the second post, right underneath this one.
I want to make clear that I'm not an expert and cannot help much myself, I will just collect and centralize information, and I'm in no way affiliated with @niaboc79 and his work, and do absolutely not deserve any credits for his work.
Also there is no guarantee that the information I collect and post in the second post will be a solution for your problem even if it has apparently worked for other people with similar symptoms.
I invite everyone that uses his rom to share helpful information here. (please)
Firstly ; a copy of the FAQ that @niaboc79 posted himself. You should read it before asking questions.

Recovery access problems:
-Don't update busybox
-Don't update Kernel
-Don't flash DRM fix (see FAQ)
If you haven't done one of the above, you should be able to enter recovery by pressing volume down (repeatedly) while starting up the phone.
If you did do one of the above, simply reflash the rom.
Note: since version 4.7 (or alternatively version 3.9) lag is no longer appearing in the rom. If you do witness lag on 4.7 (3.9) there is probably something that you have done that is causing it. Check and double check your apps and settings before trying other solutions in that case!
Lag problems:
-Update to rom version 4.7 (or 3.9 for the rom based on the beta firmware)
-Follow the instructions posted here on rom version prior to 4.7 (3.9)
If you still witness lag after that:
-After installing, give the rom some time to settle, it has to index all your files and the memory management still has to find out what apps (you) are running. This takes a long time (depending on your usage) so give it some days.
-Some xposed modules and Greenify are known causes. Disable that if you use them and see if the lag still persists. If it is gone, you can find the exact module/setting that is the cause by disabling just one module/setting at a time and try if the lag has gone. (this also counts for other problems by the way)
-Stamina mode makes the phone slower as it lowers processor speed etc. Turn it off and check if the lag has gone.
-Many (also popular) apps use quite a lot of system ressources even if you aren't using them. You could uninstall your apps, then reinstall them one at a time, use the phone a bit to check if the lag came back, if not install the next app, and so on until you find the app that is making your phone lag/behave weird.
-Never restore a titanium backup (or similar) when coming from a lollipop rom. There are several differences between lollipop and marshmallow so you risk to restore incompatible stuff.
-Activating blur in recents causes lag (v 3.5, should be solved with the next update of the rom) Fixed in final version
Profile picture (top right of status bar) won't remain after reboot:
-Open the contacts app and go to the first contact (that should contain info about you, and no image) and choose the picture you would like to see in stead of the blue user icon (click on the pencil and then on the image)
Now the image for the user switch in the status bar has been changed too, and it will stick after reboot.
Switch user causes a crash of the beta feedback app and doesn't work
-Remove beta feedback app
You can now switch users, although the system will crash/reboot, it does switch. (will be fixed in a future release of the rom) Fixed in final version

The second post of this topic right here...
i did try to reflash the rom after upgrading busybox, but i just cant find a way to flash zip file through pc.
is there a way to flash the rom without flashing back to stock?
Maybe this will work
But if you have problems, there is nothing better than starting from scratch and do a clean install imo
Good morning guys

By just looking at that image, not really.
I see that you haven't used your phone much during the time of the picture, so no apps are using battery, nor your screen. That automatically makes the operating system the most consuming thing, as it is needed to keep the phone running.

Click on the app to see what is consuming (radio, processing.... ) if it is the radio, maybe you had very bad connection. If it's the process that prevents the processor going to sleep you should try to find out what is running all the time.

Actually, I take at least 7 pictures with Camera FV-5/ 7 with stock app, with screen brightness full. Used WhatsApp and Telegram too, normally these apps and screen should be on top of the list. I have no idea of what the hell I do :silly:
