Just installed SetCPU and noticed the clock scaling was set to "conservative"...
I set it to "ondemand" and it crashed.
Interesting.
Also interesting is my home button doesn't work anymore. It happened after I installed 3 apps, but I can't put my thumb on what exactly caused it.
I installed a game called ArchMage, ShootMe (which works pretty well for screenshots btw), and SetCPU.
EDIT: After a Reboot, everything seems to be running fine. I did notice the stock kernel only has three clock steps, 300, 600, and 800.

Did it complain about whether or not you had root, and what Phone/CPU choice did you select for it?

SuperUser worked fine on initial launch so it has full root.
I used the autodetect setting.
One thing I did notice is the bogoMIPS measured by linux is 796 on the NC, while it's 738 on my Nexus One.
FYI, you can take screenshots by holding down N and pressing Vol Down... The files are saved to the media/my files/screenshots folder IIRC

Have you correctly installed Superuser and rebooted the nook?
FYI, Since the kernel is not set to allow undervolt/overclock, we cannot fo that. SetCPU was one of the first things I loaded on my NC after rooting/su.

I know... but you can change the default governor from "conservative" to "on demand" with 600mhz as minimum to get a significant performance boost with minimal battery impact. My NC has been on for 5 hours today so far and batter is at 62%. Played several games and spent a lot of time browsing the web.

AFAIK there in no adb support without the rooting process being complete. You can check if your device is rooted if you connect your nook and run adb shell, you should notice a #(which indicates root) sign awaiting your commands.
Setcpu wasn't working properly for me either after following the process. I just ended up uninstalling and reinstalling the Superuser apk.

Can you explain how you uninstalled and reinstalled it? I don't see it installed at all. Thanks.
Can we set it to run at 800Mhz? How is the performance on that? If I can get around 5 hours of battery life, it'll be fine.

it only has 3 steps on the freq table... 300, 600, and 800. after locking the nc to stay at 800 all the time, it does speed everything up quite a bit. whatever you do don't check the set on boot option, as something could easily go awry.

Yes. It is installed.
So for the "on demand" the minimum should be 600...should max be 800?
Also, if I do not check "on reboot" does it default to something else?
P.S. what is the Nook running at natively?

I've had 'set on boot' set since I installed it on Monday or Tuesday.. many reboots between then and now. What could go awry?

HOWTO enable swap
First you need a terminal emulator this can be downloaded for free in the android market.
You can use cd to change directory and ls to show all folders and files.
Navigate to the place where the swapfile is located (mmcard) and type swapon swapfile.
reboot
Turn off locks screen when holding red call button

I also get this issue.
Seems that the first time you download something, it wont work, it will get stuck on "Starting Download", and it doesn't come up in the notifications.
Just restart the phone and boot android again then second or third time it will eventually work.
This also happens if you press install then your 3G connection drops out (went through a tunnel) and even when u get a siginal again, it just sits there on "Starting" so you have to cancel it and start it again.
But with the one via WiFi and browsing the market and everything else works, just restart the phone and boot android again, and it should automatically start the download. If not, just go back into the marketplace then go to the "Downloads" section and start it again.
Its a bit annoying.

The new release is very nice, slick and stable. My major problem is the same, backlight can't be turned off and thus battery used up quickly. Hope this can be fixed soon.
Another related problem is the battery seems not charged under Android, I charged it overnight, quick get warning of low battery just after using it for 10 min.
Even so, still a very good job, thank you.

battery charge sensor doesn't work properly in xperia android, so just because android is reporting low battery doesn't mean your battery is actually low

A long time galaxy nexus user here, and since i think facebook 2.0 or 1.9 there have been a random rectangle the pops up when pressing back two times in a row from the firends list. Now i thought it was just my nexus, but now on the One i've been getting it too. Its easy to avoid but still annoying. Using ARHD rom. With latest facebook app.
From sense, I enter the facebook app/ fb messenger app, click the the freinds list / online tab scroll down to see who's online, press back twice to go to home screen then bam! A random reactangle appears. Now i can avoid this by pressing back once and scrolling through the timeline/ conversation list on facebook or anything inbetween the 1st back press and second back press (if you know what i mean)
Anyone at all can reproduce this?

I have no idea what that is, but in response to BenPope, I use chat heads and no they don't do that at all.
It happens to me for some reason. I just open the facebook / messenger app. Click on the friends tab. Press back twice and then a rectangle appears.so strange

I tried reproducing what you said, nothing happens. It's odd that you say it happened on your nexus aswell, which would make me think its not a common bug but instead some app that you personally use which is interfering with facebook and causing the rectangle to form. Look around, close background processes and then see if it happens.
And if worst comes to worst..only click the back button....once.

Do you have any old phone laying around which you do reset and try on without any other apps?
I've seen this before too. It simply means the icon is selected. If we had hardware keys, hitting enter would open it. I don't quite know how to remove it though. Does tapping somewhere other than the icon deselect it?

Nothing. I did it slow, fast, but nothing happens, I return to the home screen. I just flashed a new ROM as well (paranoid) bit it didn't work on ARHD either. So I'm guessing it definitely has something to do with your phones setup. Something that you had on your nexus and have on this phone as well.

For those who have installed Android L on their nexus 5 and are playing around with the new features and the OS in general, use this space to list any bugs you have found so far.
BUG: Vibrate doesn't work throughout OS
BUG: installing multi apps at one time (click and hold method) creates an error and you must download apps one at a time.
BUG: changing the color scheme on the keyboard changes the keyboard back to the old style keyboard.
BUG: keyboard occasionally stays active even after exiting an app.
BUG: keyboard's floating suggestion sometimes has Black background covering other letters instead of being clear.
Annoyance: for the one day of using it, battery saver is great but the notification is always on the new home screen and you cannot get rid of it unless you disable it..
I have 32GB Version of Nexus 5 but in Storage Settings and after flash it shows me that I have only 16GB of storage available? Anyone else?

I am having same keyboard issues with the suggested word often having a black background and the other colours don't work.
Appwise: Facebook's comments window doesn't have the correct white background. It is a dark transparent colour that makes reading the comments very difficult.
Netflix FC's alot. Sometime immediately on opening and sometimes after some navigation.
Chrome is using ALOT of battery. It seems to be keeping the mobile radio active in the background or something.
I agree that the persistent notification for the battery saving mode is annoying as it shows up on the lock screen until disabled.

I have asked this twice in the beginner thread, but no one seems to have a solution for this. I've tried multiple apps like ad block plus, air push detector, different virus scanners and spyware scanners. Deleting unpopular apps and tried fixing it with settings.
These kind of ads are on top of everything, so when i get a phone call i have to click the add away (small X somewhere) before i can answer. Very frustrating!

this specific ad has no X so i have to tap 'no thanks' and that opens the browser with a sketchy site called mobifun or something
long pressing the ad also does nothing

you should only backup your personal/media files (pictures, video, songs etc etc..) and start over from a fresh install. Restoring /data from a nandroid backup could also restore the malware if your issue is caused by this.

use this as a taskmgr, it shows all processes. And if you don't find anything, just go for a factory reset. Save all of your photos/music/documents/videos etc. to your PC. But don't backup your apps because one of them might have poisoned the phone.

Im not finding anything suspicious but i do see a lot of things that i dont know what it is
but if i theoretically delete all apps will that also delete the malware?
im hesitant to do factory reset ofcourse i want that to be the last resort

don't just uninstall something you don't know what it is. If someone could know what app caused this ad, it's you. You know what app you last installed before the ad started to show up. So if uninstalling that app doesn't help, there is no other option than either search through your entire device or make a factory reset
factory reset is not that scary, just backup your media files and then reset the phone. Restore media files, re-install your apps (legit apps only) and you are done. Fast and easy. :good:
Has anyone had issues clicking on pop up notifications from hangouts and messaging? I can only swipe them away. I can no longer click on them and go into the message. Pop up notification for phone calls work fine. I can dismiss or answer them. I want to say I noticed it after flashing Franco r19 but can't say for sure it's related.

I think this is one of the inherent notification defects on 5.0. I encountered the same issue - please restart the device and see if this remedies the issue.

I have to ask, sure you are not just tapping on them once? In LP Stock, you tap once and get the "tap again to open" message lower down the screen.
What ROM you are running in addition to the kernel would be helpful, and I second the recommendation to reboot and retry, you could of course also go to a backup before you installed the new kernel, all things being equal, but the kernel shouldn't have anything to do with this.

That did it! wow, what is rule #1 of troubleshooting? REBOOT. I guess I tend to forget it when it comes to phones since we rarely ever have to restart.

Glad it worked! Hopefully 5.1 fixes this issue.
Apparently it is caused by two finger swiping a notification see link below

99% of problems can be solved by hitting the restart button. This has been universally true since the SNES console.
Me too
I get this problem every now and then after my phone has been on for a few weeks without a reboot. Reboot works every time.

Is there actually a "Restart" option for native Lollipop? I know you were being figurative, but having only a "Power off" option when running seems awfully spare compared to what I even had on an old Galaxy S III (plus, bootup on a Nexus 6 is rather long, but that's another point, I guess.)

Sure, though I was wondering if this was somehow hidden in stock Lollipop, because I want to run vanilla for a bit longer - keeping variables down to help with diagnosing any early problems I might find with this new phone.

in vanilla, no. but if you have root on vanilla, it can be done. if you use a terminal emulator, you can use the lines reboot, reboot recovery, reboot bootloader.

Thanks - do you find that Reboot is akin to a "fast reboot" or is startup more or less the same as going from initial powerup, perhaps?

its a hard reboot, not a soft reboot. it shuts down completely first, then the google logo, then it boots up. as apposed to a soft reboot, that starts after the google logo.

Sorry, I haven't responded for nearly a month, but yes, I meant just turn the phone on and off again.

Are you running vanilla, and if so, are you on 5.0.X or 5.1?

Man, that is weird. I've not had this issue at all on mine. Is it happening on all notifications or just messaging related ones? And if so, is it just Hangouts and Messages, or are other messaging clients (Facebook Messenger, Whatsapp, etc) behaving the same way?

Are you having the issue because mine was resolved by a reboot. It was only happening on hangouts messages and texts. I don't have Facebook or what's app
