Hello! This is my second glorious post on this great forum.
My issue: Build.prop edit doesn't seem to do anything.
Reason for edit: I wanted to mimick a tetra 2 tablet in order to play Modern Combat 2: Black Pegesus.
I decided to follow the Russian instructions in this video - http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=g0Bq_hCMANc&desktop_uri=/watch?v=g0Bq_hCMANc
I used Google Translator to communicate with the gentlemen who made the video, and followed his instruction perfectly.
The plan was to mimick the Acer Iconia Tab A500. Which has a Tetra 2 Processor. After minimum research to affirm the instructions I followed, it appeared as though the...
ro.product.manufacturer=Acer
And...
ro.product.model=500
Were the only things that needed editing to a successfully mimick another device.
Ended up saved as such - http://postimg.org/image/e315bxqtj/
I was under the impression that after the edit --> save --> and restart, every app contained in the Google play store would immediately show up if they were compatible with a tetra 2 device. Not only did that not work, when I downloaded the app from other third party sites, the apk would not download the SD data because the device was not compatible.
My last resort was to find a download for the SD data somewhere else, to see if that would work.
No luck so far.

I'm just a spoiled 15 year old yearning to play an old favorite game on a new device.... Any help is deeply appreciated
Can anyone offer some guidance?
Nothing at all... It would be really nice. ^_^
Spoofing software doesn't work all the time. Sometimes it just won't work because of hardware constraints.

Hello all,
I'm the developer of wear face collection :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vuxia.wearFaceCollection
But when you have a new email, the notification takes about half of the screen.
On of the faces of samsung watch has small notification popup : like 25% the height of the screen.
If anyone know what API to call, please let me know.
Thanks!
As far as I know, its not currently supported, because custom watch faced aren't official supported. It'll come later this year, I read on G+

I can confirm this.
Not every thing is offical!
Create Layouts with the Wearable UI Library
There's an unofficial UI library that is automatically included when you create your wearable app with the Android Studio Project Wizard. You can also add the library to your build.gradle file with the following dependency declaration:
I can't say if this is of any help as I'm not a developer.
Seem a bit harsh the reply from the moderator !
As with most development on XDA its not offially supported as its normally ahead of the game!
That's why I came to this site.
Hi cybernico, Could you please point me to the right direction how to create a watchface using watch hands. Thx

I work at a Cricket Wireless store, and generally can fix any issues customer's are having with their phones. I am not a developer by any means, but I can do basic things. Flashing a custom ROM, for example, isn't difficult for me. (Just to give you an idea of experience level). But I am trying to help someone at the moment and I am at a loss.
My customer is a Sikhism priest (forgive me if that is not worded correctly), and he needs a religious text on his device known as the Adi Granth. Up until recently, he had an app called Gur Gyan (link below) that displayed his text in his native language (Punjabi/Gurmukhi). He did an update recently, and now it will not work. However, I'm not sure whether he just updated the app, or if he updated his device, as he is now running Lollipop 5.0.
He has a Google Nexus 4. I tried viewing a webpage which displays Punjabi text, and it worked, making me think that his device does still support the Punjabi font. I could be mistaken though. Below is a screenshot of what the text actually looks like.
There are plenty of Adi Granth alternatives, the problem is, they are all in English. This is the only app he could find that gave both a Punjabi format, and search support. I am looking for either a fix to my problem, or an alternative that will work for him. Any help would be appreciated.

Google Now in China
kldoc said:
I see in your nicknane that you are located in Shanghai. Google Now is not available in China. You need to trick the gps and the playstore into thinking you are in a supported location to enable Google Now launcher. I am in China myself, that's how i do to force enable Google Now.
If you need help regarding this, just tell me, i can't provide any link (market unlocker), but i can guide you through the procedure if you need.

Am living in China and I tried enabling Google Now but no luck so far with anything i tried.
Am not rooted, Nexus 5, Android 5.1.
Would you be able to help? Am thinking to get the Huawei Watch soon but am worried that it won't work properly if my phone doesn't have Google Now enabled.

Ok, I have both, good and bad news. The good news is you can activate Google Now, the bad news are, it doesn't work without a vpn, it will only display schedule reminder's, custom reminders, weather cards, location reporting being unavailable in China, most cards aren't accessible. You should definitely NOT BUY a Google Now based smart watch if you live in China, it will be more or less useless ... Yes, looks appealing, but I renounced, until some chinese services actually clone Google Now WITH ENGLISH LANGUAGE SUPPORTED, one can't use a smartwatch in China, not like we would do in any other country anyway.
IMPORTANT: You must root to be able to force Google Now activation.
you need this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lexa.fakegps&hl=en
you also need market unlocker, but I can't provide a link, a search on Google will solve this.
You also need a vpn link to a country that fully support Google Now.
First thing to do, switch the location mode to device mode only, since we're gonna fake our location, we only want GPS to report that location.
Then you need to switch to airplane mode, this in order to disable the country check from the phone operator sim card.
Activate your wifi, launch your vpn connection.
Launch the fake gps location, and set it to a supported country location (would be wise to chose the same location than the play store and the vpn connection)
Launch market unlocker to set Google play store on a supported country (this step wasn't needed before last Google service update).
Launch Google play store, to actually validate the new location.
Then go to Settings->Accounts->Google->Search->Account and Privacy
from there, click on Google account to actually logg off from it.
Clear data from google search, google play store, and google play services.
In theory, you're done, if the location if fully faked, logging in again into Search will set you to the supported location you chose, and let you enable Google Now. From there you actually can disable the gps fake location app and market unlocker, although those are very useful.
No idea how long this is going to work, the need to fake market location is actually recent, wasn't needed before.
On daily usage, i get the Google Now schedule cards, weather cards, some cards related to my personal search, and any card that isn't location based (sports competition results etc ...).

kldoc you have provided detailed instructions which I will definitely try to follow - at least to honor the time you spent to reply me.
I will come back with any news - hopefully soon. :good:
PS. I could not quote your message in my reply as am new here and I cannot include links in my messages for now.
Notifications and Quick Setings problems
Hi there, and first of all many thanks for all the work you're putting into making Lollipop/Omnirom available on the Nexus 4.
I've had a slight issue with the ROM, and I'm not sure what information is relevant so I'll post what I know and you can let me know if there's anything else you need.
The problem is that I don't get any notifications in the notifications bar and I can't access the quick settings bar. Any ideas what might be causing this?
I installed the latest (18/04/15) version over the top of an Omnirom 4.4 installation. I haven't wiped data, because it didn't seem necessary according to your post. I can do a full wipe as a next step if necessary, but I'd obviously prefer not to!
I'm running Google Apps Minimal Edition (http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/gapps-google-apps-minimal-edition-t2943330/), which basically has just the play store and libraries. One of the reasons I use Omni is that I don't use google services (aside from to buy apps from the play store) and don't like to have all the extra stuff hanging around on my phone. I'd be willing to try a different minimal package if it is possible that this is the problem, but I'm not really very keen to install a full gapps package such as Banks.
Many thanks once more,
Dave

I ended up wiping /system, reflashing Omni and flashing a new build of the PA GAPPS. I guess you could flag the package I was using before as not working in your OP to avoid more questions about things that aren't due to your ROM!
Random reboots
I am experiencing random reboots up to various times a day and I don't have anything strange installed.
Excellent!!
I've been running this 5.1.1 build on my N4 since Saturday - because the stock 5.1 update DESTROYED my battery life. So far, this build has been rock solid stable, my battery life has returned to where it was under 5.0.2 (which was great), and I have found zero issues. Thanks for the EXCELLENT build!!
Hello folks, I want to apologize for not following this thread as I should have, thing is actually didn't have any notification about activity here, that's the reason why.
For those still on builds that were done before 5.1.1, I highly recommend you flash latest 5.1.1 build, I experienced the same issues with battery on builds prior 5.1.1, and so far, 5.1.1 seems to runs really well on Nexus 4. 02/05/2015 should be the build to flash.
I'm actually running mini gapps package from Slim, on which I add a google now launcher flashable zip (restrictions due to the country where I live makes it too complicated for me to install Google now from the store). I prefer having most apps updated from Google play store than through a flashable zip.
@julope334 I don't have those random reboots on latest build, but if you still get those reboots on latest build, please provide a logcat so I can see what is going on.
Hello,
I've got a TA-1021 and there is a bug where dark-themed apps use the wrong list dividers, which are black instead of white. Here are images of some apps running on my Nokia 6: [url]https://imgur.com/a/yBVEd[/URL], and here they are running on other devices (both real devices and emulators), on different Android versions: [url]https://imgur.com/a/5B1nD[/URL]
Perhaps it's some kind of overlay that Nokia (or whoever HMD outsources the development to) applied to the device that causes this problem. It's been this way since I bought the device some months ago, and every time there was an update I hoped somebody at Nokia would've noticed the bug and fixed it, but apparently no one paid attention to it. I've also posted on the community forum but received no response.
Is this problem present on other variants / other Nokia phones as well, and does anyone know how to fix it?
Thank you.
