Does Gingerbread 2.3.4 on the nexus have a data log at all? If yes, where is it? And if not, which is a good one to download?

Try aLogCat from the market. It lets you see the application and event logs if that's what you're after

Thank you mindwalkr. Can you please confirm that there is no native data logger. I find it amazing.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA Premium App
I'm not an expert in Android yet but I think there's no native (as in bundled with the phone) software to see the logs. However with the Google SDK and using ADB via USB you can see them. This aLogCat and other similar software allows you to see the logs from the phone itself which makes it obvious that the logs are there, but you can't see them with a stock Gingerbread. Maybe with a file explorer you can get access to them as well but again you have to download a file explorer from the market so yeah... no native way to check the logs without having the phone connected to a PC.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong
Hi guys
Hoping someone can help out if there is a way, I am looking to setup a Tasker rule that so that Backup and Reset options only activate while WIFI is connected, unfortunately Tasker does not have a built in option so is there a command I can use in Javascript or Shell via Tasker to activate/deactivate this?
I have tried searching through the Android API but of course can only find commands for disabling/enabling it on the app side not the OS side.

I have found a way to get WiFi tethering to work on Android L.
The app is called "WiFi Tether Router" on the Play store.
Note: The app is $2.50
The app didn't work before but it was updated today so I tried it again and it worked perfectly. (Watched Netflix on my tablet and YouTube on my laptop.)
Has anyone else tried it and also worked for them?
Also, if anyone knows of a free alternative that works on android L I'd appreciate it if you told me.

yes work !!!
Not to be rude, I appreciate the heads up but this belongs in apps. Especially since its premium.
It doesn't work for me, did you have to alter any of the settings?

Make sure your APN is set to ipv4 instead of IPv6. Also in advanced WiFi settings , unchecked "scanning always available".
I'm on Rogers using L ... I cannot get this app to work. I've set it to ipv4 and unchecked "Scanning always available" but I still can't get it to work.
Anyone have this working on AT&T or Rogers and if so did you change any settings in the app? (there are quite a few in the app)
Working for me... One more q do you know if this counts data.. Meaning towards the 5gb teather on the plan

buraktamturk has discovered a solution to tethering on L:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54067884&postcount=3041
Lightbulb Tethering Fix
Here is solution for tethering (both usb and wireless).
Tether just as usual. Then disable tethering and re-enable it. (this step is important otherwise dhcp server is not started)
After doing that both your phone and computer will not connect internet, because of invalid routing table. (internal bug from l preview)
just connect to the phone shell with 'adb shell', or terminal software on android (connectbot or android terminal emulator will fine)
Code:
[email protected]:/ $ su
[email protected]:/ # ip route | grep rmnet0 | grep link
10.64.70.120/29 dev rmnet0 proto kernel scope link src 10.64.70.124
Note the gateway here (10.64.70.124), and set this default gateway. (and yes, my provider gives me nat'ed private ip addresses)
Code:
[email protected]:/ # route add default gw 10.64.70.124 dev rmnet0
Enjoy the tethering!
Note your phone must be rooted otherwise you will not able to pass beyond 'su' command.

I packaged up the following in a sh script that gets run with Tasker when enabling tethering (I use it for my Nexus 7 in my car):
Code:
#!/bin/sh
ip=$(ip route | grep mnet0 | grep link | sed 's/.*src //')
route add default gw ${ip} dev rmnet0
I saved the above in /sdcard/gateway.sh
I then run a command in Tasker:
Code:
/system/bin/sh /sdcard/gateway.sh
I "think" this is working. Since I ran it manually, the IP is now stored in the routing table. If the IP switches and tethering suddenly stops working, ill know it's not functioning anymore and will tweak the script.

Well thats fortunate? I cant get it to work on mine. It connects but does not transfer anything.
Weirdly the stock android L tether works for me but it uses my 5gb data..
I got tethering working just fine on L using the same tethering.dun.required mod as on kitkat
No need for any app
It seems as though Google killed Miracast compatibility now that Chromecast does screen mirroring. If you are like me and have one of each devices, you still may want to mirror to a Miracast device.
Required: Root
Navigate with a root explorer to your build.prop file located at /system/build.prop
Add the following line to the file:
Code:
persist.debug.wfd.enable=1
Save your build.prop file and reboot.
You should now see Settings > Display > Cast Screen > Menu > Enable Wireless Display
You should be good to go :good:
As noted in another thread, this will not work for netflix. It does work with watchespn, youtube, and amazon instant video.
Try Toaster cast on the play store.....
will this edit make screen cast work with the roku3? will try that prop build edit
confirm this works! i can do cast screen to my ROKU 3

The problem I Post d about sound only coming from the phone was because of viper android sound mod. I deleted that as it also made my headphone jack inoperable unless I had a 3.5mm jack with a mic plug.

Yes, It work with Moto g lollipop 5.1 Gpe and Ezcast dongle. But the video lags a lot with MX player... And there after the all mirroring lags...
Any settings need to be twisted...

I added this initially when I couldn't get my EzCast working however, I don't seem to need it now. I can full screen cast normally on 5.1, even though performance is poor
where do I put this code at and how do I save it

Be careful what you are doing, because it clearly says where to add it- in the build.prop file in /system/ folder, it also says add the "following line", so you know what to edit in the build.prop file. simply add the line in the bottom to keep it clear from everything else. be sure to make a back up copy of the build.prop file in case you accidentally delete something an forget what it was...very possible!
I am wondering if it is possible to enable this in the same way it was possible to enable wireless tethering using adb.
v--The way you fix wireless tethering is to do the following--v
Start an adb shell: adb shell
In the adb shell, run this command: settings put global tether_dun_required 0
So why can't we do the same for build.prop?
Can anyone verify that if I were to do the following it would do the same thing?
settings put build.prop persist.debug.wfd.enable 1
or something similar?
Android Marshmallow
I came across this thread when looking for a solution to the same issue with enabling wireless display. I am writing to let anyone who this helps know that this solution still works with Android Marshmallow.
Thank you GPS3 for supplying this solution.

I have an first gen Amazon FireTV which is hooked up to my surround sound and when I cast to it using the wireless display the sound goes over my surround sound system without issue. For more info, my N6 is currently running 10/27 - Cataclysm ROM (which did not have the wireless display option, until I followed this OP)

I tried doing this but it said I did not have enough space and couldn't be saved, what do I do?

Most likely you are trying to cast protected content. Google play movies does this and i believe netflix too...maybe others but I cant recall. Anyway there is no way around playing DRM protected content through miracast.
Thought this might help some people get a little extra use out of a Pixel 2 feature: I'm using Custom Quick Settings to hide the nav bar and of course active edge stopped working, but I noticed it still functioned on the lockscreen. Squeeze-launching the assistant from the lockscreen is pointless to me because I still have to fingerprint- or pattern-unlock my phone before it will tell me anything, but I installed Button Mapper and although there's some warning in its description about not working while the phone is off, it does actually detect squeezes on both the ambient display screen and lockscreen.
I now have squeeze set up to toggle flashlight, since that's something I almost always need to do when the phone is locked and toggling it through quick settings is kind of annoying. This way I don't even have to look at the screen. But the point of this post is, if there's any task you want to be able to trigger while your phone is off, you can use squeeze to do that even if you have full-time immersive mode on.

"Script" was the wrong word to use. When I toggle the "Customize" button to attempt to use Active Edge in the app Button Mapper, it tells me to use my PC and adb to execute this command:
Code:
adb shell sh /data/data/ flar2.homebutton/keyevent.sh
When I attempt to do so, I get "Permission Denied."
I've used adb to allow the Custom Navigation Bar app to make changes and it works just fine with that app.

That's what I figured. Which brings me back to how the OP managed to get the Button Mapper app working with active Edge on a not-yet-rootable Pixel 2 XL...?

Nice find, I can confirm this works. I have mine mapped to turn on the flashlight also, much more useful for me. Never really use it to activate google, especially since with the new "Hey google" hotword its much more natural to say that now.

How did you get the ADB command to work on your PC? Did it just work for you? See the last two posts above.

Okay, I think I figured it out. I went into application settings and went into the button mapper permissions and gave it permission for all three. I don't see why that would have to be the case, but after doing that I tried putting in the ADB command again and it worked. Now I have active Edge to turn on and off the flashlight. Sweet!

Remove the spaces between data/flar2 to resolve the permissions denied message. The rest: I can't get it to work either.

Thanks, that worked.
I can confirm that this does work with phone in lock screen as well. It also works with the phone unlocked.
This works great. Love it!
Ok, figured it out too. I'm averse to allowing Google to follow my everything, so I hesitated at the location tracking permissions needed for Google Assistant, but once I followed through, it finally worked.
