[Q]Downloads on Chrome no longer showing in notifications ??

After the latest update for Chrome I noticed that the downloads no longer show in the notifications panel (while they're active). I only get a notification when the file being downloaded is done and ready.
Any way to fix this ? What if i wanted to cancel a download before its finished ?

You can use the download app on your phone and cancel the download as well.

The "Downloads" app ? it doesnt show the download progress bar and i dont think i can cancel a download while its downloading. Is there no way to get it in the notifications panel like before ?

Ok. You should go to settings->apps and choose chrome. Disable it. And install the new update once again. Works for me.
you help me, i thank you. i help you, you thank me.

Just tried that, didnt work. However when I disabled chrome and got back to the older version, i tested a download and everything went fine. As soon as i updated to the newest version i stopped getting the download progress bar in the notifications panel.
Is it a bug ? or is it a feature of the newest version of Chrome ??

according to me is a bug. if it is a feature, it must not be an effective update. why we can't even find our download items in download apps. but if your internet connection is good, you should not afraid of anything, just find your download items in sdcard/downloads. OR maybe you won't need to update the newest version, i don't see significant changes between those version. OR you need to wait for the new update. OR...
have you updated your jb from 4.2.2 to 4.3?
i don't know whether this is right or wrong. i found out this problem after updated android 4.3 JWR66V(chrome update is earlier than android 4.3 update). But then, when i root my phone, the newest update of chrome does show the download progress. hit thanks!

Yep, i noticed the change after i updated to JB 4.3. I updated the chrome app right after so i couldnt tell which step broke it. And i was rooted when i updated OTA, I will re-root my phone now and see what happens, hopefully it will work!
Cheers!

i don't notice this problem when i was using android 4.2.2. Good luck with that.

Nope. It didnt work ;(.
Seems like I have to wait for a Chrome update, or just uninstall the new updates and use the old app...

or maybe you should root using this method http://nexus4root.com/nexus-4-root/how-to-root-nexus-4-windowsmac-osxlinuxubuntu/ .
If you want to re-root using this method,pm me. because there are some wrong steps.

Disable update notification

So I've had the minor 4.3 update (The 1.8MB one) lingering on my phone for a while and I'm dying to get rid of the notification. I flashed the hybrid LTE radio and just don't see any need to bother going through the trouble of updating so I've left it in the notifications bar.
Can someone point me in the right direction? I read something about freezing SDM but I can't find it in Titanium Backup. I also know you can disable Google Services Framework notifications but I don't want to miss other important Google notifications and I'm not sure what else Google Services Framework pushes.
Any help is very much appreciated.

The update is a security update so it would be wise to update

Ok fair enough, is there any simpler method than having to go back to stock? I flashed the hybrid radio and have Xposed installed.

This might work
* Flash xposed disabler (not sure if this is needed)
* Flash stock recovery.
* Install update.
* Flash your preferred custom recovery.
* Flash superuser/supersu and install xposed

This has worked for me in the past on stock 4.2.x, but your mileage might vary on 4.3:
Let the device download the update, but do not install it. Reboot into recovery, wipe cache, then reboot. The update notification system will now be broken and shouldn't alert you to any new updates.

AT&T LG G Pad 7.0 LTE Lollipop Released

Hi all,
For those with the AT&T version of the LG G Pad 7 the Android 5.0.2 update is here. Looks to have been released 2 days ago actually. See http://www.att.com/esupport/softwareUpdateArticle.jsp?sid=KB425003&cv=820
My tablet is not rooted or modified in any way. I checked for updates, says none available so no upgrade for me yet. Will post back once I get it. I've upgraded other devices from KitKat to Lollipop and they are always laggy after the upgrade. I plan to upgrade then factory reset the tablet as that seems to work out much better.

Finally received the update. All went well since I as not rooted or anything like that. Not used it for long but seems a bit more responsive. I did factory reset and set up as new after doing the Lollipop upgrade.

Does anyone know a successful root method. I've tried everything with no luck. There's got to be some way.

hi, were you connected to att network when recieved the update?

Yes my G Pad 7 has a valid/active AT&T Sim card in it. I have it on my mobile share value plan.

Is there a way to root 5.0.2? Everything I have tried seems to fail.

No way to root lollipop. I'm back on KK and working on PAC Rom build.
Sent from my D6503

I have the KK source code for the v410. Is there no way to build a KDZ from it? I am guessing there is not because someone would have though of this by now.

I still don't see this update available. Im using it on wifi only, with no sim card. Can this be the issue?

The mobile(SIM) network is used to access protocols(most common is time/date and OTA) that routers ignore. To update go to AT&T and ask for a new SIM or root; custom recovery; flash update.

Hi, dear, I have been looking for that zip for a long time, can you please give me a link of that as you have said there's a zip with the update, But you didn't share the link of that update kindly do please.
As far as i don't have an AT&T SIM and if i would have one i don't live in the US of America so the OTA on the SIM card is impossible, that way i have asked you guys to share a link you have or someone might have seen it somewhere around the world.

I downloaded KingRoot from app store and that does the trick.

Is there a manual zip file or something for lollipop? Att with no sim. No OTA available

KingRoot APK worked for me..took two tries..then I replaced their flavor of SU with SuperSU....I still have not been able to custom recovery the beast tho.. Lollipop 5.0.2..tried to Flashify with TWRP 3.0.0.0 Bumped..I get boot certification error when I try to go into recovery.. But I can reboot back into Stock ROM..kinda got cold feet..don't want to hose the device!

Memory woes
I've been running my v410 with lollipop for a while now and was getting pretty discouraged that apps keep crashing. Large apps like games will crash when a calendar notification pops up, etc.
I used KingRoot to gain root and then SuperSUme to replace SU and remove KingRoot bloat. Mostly to kill ads since I'm running stock with no custom recovery (there are only about 6 apps I use that require SU)
So anyway, I recently installed Kernel Adiutor to take a peek at some kernel tweaks. Low and behold, the default low memory killer settings are set super aggressive! The most aggressive preset available in Kernel Adiutor is still only half of the default values. I knocked it down to "moderately aggressive" and my memory problems are gone (mostly). I'm now playing with the Z-RAM settings to try and get my memory usage to be more efficient.
I was afraid I would have to downgrade to KK to get this thing back to usable. Perhaps not...

Try to reset your phone, because I have same setup and have no problems.

I've not really ran the stock firmware at all, jumped right to aosp build and never looked back. I've had issues with apps crashing with nolimits and other stock based roms. maybe try going full r*tard and switching roms?
just remember to flash the flashable firmware before hand,

Gang,
The May 2019 update is now rolling out.
You should get an OTA update any time soon.
Main update topics:
- Android Generic
https://source.android.com/security/bulletin/2019-05-01.html
- Pixel Specific
"There are no Pixel security patches in the May 2019 Pixel Update Bulletin. "
"All Pixel devices running Android 9 will receive an Android 9 update as part of the May OTA. This quarterly release contains many functional updates and improvements to various parts of the Android platform and supported Pixel devices."
https://source.android.com/security/bulletin/pixel/2019-05-01.html
Have fun

OTA Screenshot

What took you so long? I installed it more than two hours ago.

Seems nothing changed only security updates. However At-a-Glance widget now have only three options again.
No smart notifications and no Reminders notifications in the options.

Another update and no changes.. Well disappointing

Oh, there are changes, Google is just getting lazy documenting them. How often to you see app updates that only state "bug fixes and performance improvements". I think they just cut & paste that into everything these days...

Haha lets find them out then
1) battery % on the bottom of always on displays looks a bit bigger

The android security patch now says May! :silly::laugh:

I think Google focusing on Android Q and at this point make no sense to add improvements for Android P.
Android Q Beta 3 will be released after/during Google IO event. There will be a lot of announcement and new features for Android Q. Maybe a good time to upgrade.

Any of you guys rooted with magisk? It seems the may updates killed magisk and bootloops, at least for me.

Here's one change i noticed. Charging my device doesn't slow down until 95% full. ampere app shows 1020ma using a QC 3.0 enabled charger, not like before once the device hits 80% it slows down the charging from 1020ma to 600 to 700ma.

I checked and made sure everything is in the latest version, and failed like you. John Wu is going to Apple to get a internship, maybe the update for the new version of magisk would not came out that fast as before. And now I choose to stay in the April update.

The easiest fix to regain root is....go to twrp, flash the magisk uninstaller.zip, then immediately flash the magisk 18.1 zip. You'll have to install your modules again, but that's not too big a deal :good::good:

Fastboot the May factory image with the -w removed from the flash-all.bat file, and let it boot up. Go back to fastboot mode, and fastboot twrp, I use the 323-1 version since I didn't have any luck with the 330-0 version. Once in twrp, flash the twrp installer zip, then flash the magisk uninstaller zip, then flash magisk 18.1 zip, boot up, install your magisk modules again, and done :good:

If I am going to do a clean install (with wipe) do I still need to uninstall magisk in order to prevent bootoops w current version?

Not really since your phone will be completely wiped anyways. You may need to use magisk 18.1 though. The May update and magisk 19+ versions did not work for me :good:

Works fine for me . I had to change to partition a this time to though

There is a UI change which I don't really like, though i will get used to it - probably for the best.
There's a new loading arrow symbol on all apps and pages that are loading. It uses the colour theme of the app.
See attached .
Everyone else notice this?

I want to update but dont want bootloops
