As I understand it there are three flavours of android: phone, tablet, and tablet with phone capabilities (correct me if I am wrong). At any rate I would like to install a room with the JellyBean tablet UI and I want to know if that is possible and if such a rom exists that would support the s pen, etc. Possibly a modified version of the note 10.1 rom? Just a thought.
Android 3 was Tablet. Android 4 and on is for both phone and tablet. It's more about the apps recognizing the device.
I'm not exactly sure what the developers do, but the hybrid roms such as Paranoid Android have the ability to use tablet versions of apps and UI of other apps. The more sophisticated ones have where it can be set app to app.
Thus, I would suggest trying out Paranoid Android or Cyongenmod. Make sure to read the fine print so you understand what they have working, not working, and almost working. These are still in beta or alpha.
There's no separate tablet/phone versions of Android. You can make your phone and apps look exactly as they would on a tablet by modifying settings and using the Xposed framework.

Everything I can find that gives a version number says that the "new" upgrade is 3.6.8. If you recently purchased a new fire phone, you already HAVE 3.6.8. So, for those of us who got in on the $199 deal, we already have the update and we're getting nothing new at this time. I got all excited, but I already have 3.6.8.
You CAN sideload google apps (I can't get google photos, but I think that is a function of the underlying android os being 4.2.2). If anyone has an apk for google photos, I'd appreciate it. I couldn't find it on the play store.

In my experience, Photos comes along for the ride when you install Google+. If you haven't done that yet, try installing it; if you have, then chances are the Fire Phone isn't going to display it as a separate app (unless you use a custom launcher).

Screen off during calls
Just installed this for a friend yesterday. While she is on a call the screen turns off and stays off. She has to pull the battery to end the call, is anyone else experiencing this behavior? She downloaded an app to test the proximity sensor and the app showed that it wasn't working. I'm assuming that these may be related.
Keyboard Changer
Thanks dev for providing us with LP 5.02
Was running the 0105 build before the 0118 came out. Clean flashed the 0118 build and I was not able to change the keyboard, it keeps FC.
Main reason why I want to change it, is because the stock AOSP keyboard doesn't have swype typing functioning. The option is there (gesture typing) but it doesn't work. I would have to install the google keyboard and use that for swype to work.
Also, probably not a big issue but the google play movies & tv doesn't work.
Great ROM thus far though, thanks!
Failed to flash
I was trying to flash up from 4.1.1 is there extra steps I need to take? I also have a 4.1.2 modem.
I got it flashed after updating twrp. Next question is there a task manager? How do I close open apps?
I love the look of this ROM, but every time I flash lollipop on my T0ltetmo, I get Google TV and Movies force closing repeatedly. Has that been fixed in the new nightlies? What can I do to track down the issue?
T889 Note 2 constantly rebooting
I have just installed the ROM on my tmobile Note 2, and everything was fine except for the fact that is constantly returns to the android splash screen.
System profiles bug
Any chance you guys can fix the system profiles bug where WiFi fails to turn on if the profile also turns on Airplane Mode? I think you inherit it from a CM bug (BACON-1188, can't post a link) that has been ignored for a few months now.
I'm pretty sure the fix is as simple as moving mAirplaneMode.processOverride(context); up by ~10 lines in doSelect(Context context) in frameworks/base/core/java/android/app/Profile.java (line ~750) , but I can't currently get 5.0.2 to build at all so I have no way of testing.
My experience after a day on Nameless
I was running a stock Samsung Android 4.3 ROM on my Note 2, which had become so slow and unusable that I finally took the plunge and switched to Nameless. Here my results:
Used TWRP 2.7.2.0 without any issues
Followed the instructions on the OP for wiping and formatting
I used nameless-5.0.2-20150201-t0lte-NIGHTLY for the ROM
And gapps-lp-20141109-signed for Google Play
The whole process went really smooth, and everything came up fine the first time. I was ready to claim victory until I decided to add a second Google account (I keep two separate accounts, one for Personal and one for Work).
Right at the end of adding the second account I suddenly started getting dozens of Google Play Movies & TV has stopped working popups. First they came really fast and then slower and slower until the Note 2 eventually froze up and I had to take out the battery to restart it. Once the system had booted up the same thing started again, Movies & TV endlessly crashing until the system was frozen after about 1 minute.
The third time around I managed to quickly navigate to the Apps settings and disabled the Movies & TV app (since you can't uninstall it). Before I could finish it froze up again but this time after restarting it was good again. Interestingly it didn't actually disable the Movies & TV app, but it looks like it had wiped its cache, which must have been enough to get it back to stable mode. I have a feeling adding the second Google account synced something into it that messed it up. However, on the Work account that I added there are no Movies or TV shows at all, but my Personal account has some.
Just thought I should share this since it doesn't seem anyone else mentioned it on the thread yet. I'll post again if I hit any other issues. This is my main phone and Android device which I use all day long, so if there are issues, I'll find them
Thanks a lot for providing this ROM, other than my small issue it's like a billion times faster and better than before, awesome!!
Does anyone know how do I get the headset volume higher? It is kinda low. Everything else seems perfect in volume.
The ROM is perfect!

I had the same thing, but was able to fix it by wiping the cache for the Movies & TV app in the App settings! If that doesn't work for you and you don't really need the app, you can also Disable it in the App settings, which should keep it from trying to launch.
Day 2 experiences
This is a follow up from my previous post with day 1 experience after installing this ROM.
I've been seeing some graphics rendering issues which have led to the device freezing up requiring battery pull
Sometimes when scrolling in Google Chrome the bottom of the screen looks all scrambled, but refreshes and looks fine once I stop scrolling. No lock-ups from this.
Games that play video ads are my #1 problem. If I'm lucky the video ad will play but the colors look all messed up, a mix of black and white and green flashing. If I'm unlucky, the video won't play and the device freezes up instead.
Any way to fix this?
I also had an issue with the keyboard Gesture Typing not working, which I resolved by installing the official Google Keyboard app from Google Play and use that instead of the Android Keyboard (AOSP) that came with the ROM, even though they look and work exactly the same and have the same settings. And even though I didn't have any issues, I did the same for the Google Camera app, where I installed the Google Play version instead of the built-in one, even though it looks and works exactly the same.
This ROM is awesome! I waited until last week then made the jump, thought I'd let all you "release freaks" deal with it first. Except for a couple of crashes in the first two days this has been very stable. Everything works for me.

You can use the AudioFX app to boost the volume for your headset, that's probably the easiest way if the regular volume control doesn't go loud enough for you.
Thank you but I already tried that by turning up the EQ to the highest. It's hard to hear someone if the surroundings are loud. I have been using the speaker to get by at work.
NamelessRom 2.0
Why is there no OTA update integrated within the settings. This Rom is great one of my favorites. We as users should be able to get quick fixes and updates as soon as they're released. The quicker we can get these updates the faster we can help make this better, faster, and truly more efficient.
Otg is not working and screen cast is not working . any fix available ?
Update:
screen cast will work through Chromecast app but will not when using the toggle .
Otg works but device must reboot to use it the second time
Are there any kernels with sound mods . I tried boeffla control but it stated , not supported .
Update: AGNi pureCM OC v3.0.3 works great it's found in the N7105 forum
Gear S wont pair to Samsung Gear App
I installed this rom on my phone and I have a gear s and I have read other posts trying to get Gear app to work on Lollipop.
I got the app installed successfully, but every time I try to connect the watch to the app, it says "unforuntalty, HostManger has stopped"
What can I do to get the watch to pair up with the app?
ambiant display
this question is for those running the latest version of this Rom (31/03/2015). has anyone gotten ambiant display to work with this update?
The watch has a full hardware NFC capabilities, an NFC controller etc, but Sony limited functionality to presenting itself as a tab to pair to the Sony app.
Now that the watch is rooted and we have Wear 5.0.1 upwards, can I please ask is it possible, or what is required, for apps to access full NFC functionality (incl Beam and HCE) if its been rooted and updated to latest Wear?
Any help appreciated!

Ranf,
Yes I had read that blog which was written before Root was available. The author wrote again on the same blog and I have tried emailing him.
I'm not a developer/coder btw.
Am I correct that even with Root and the latest Wear, a developer would still need to write a custom ROM to allow full access to the NFC functionality?
Is there much involved to achieve this as NFC is baked into latest Wear right? I'm interested to see if someone can make the watch operate in Reader Mode and whether thats a hard task..

Hi Guys,
So I have had for a while an Nexus 7 (Gen1) running in my car as a full infotainment system, and overall it works very well indeed (it has its quirks, but what doesnt!)
Anyway, with the coming changes in UK law doubling penalties and fines for anyone caught handling a phone, I wondered if MirrorLink could be a "workaround", in the sense of allowing basic phone integration without using the phone!
Anyway, I know some head units come "with MirrorLink" - the question is, can I make an android tablet come "with MirrorLink" so I can then use mirrorlink through my N7 and control my phone?
EDIT: ALSO I have just been reading on Android Auto - is there a receiver app for this as well?
EDIT 2: OK so I have found "Head Unit Reloaded" as an option for working with Android Auto, now I just need to find a way to make the tablet "Mirrorlink" receiver...
The tablet is fully rooted and runs TIMUR's USB ROM OS.
Did you find any way out for doing this ???

Unfortunately not. I just had to use a variety of different apps to get it working as close as reasonable.

Mirrorlink is 10x dumber than Android Auto.
For a ML-like app search EasyConnect. It's the app that comes with all chinese Android units and allows for full mirroring of the phone.
There are also a number of Android-based alternatives like using Miracast.
However, in terms of driving safety AA is way better than any screen mirroring.
