Marshmallow Nexus player Issues. Can anyone confirm?



Confirm so I know its not just me?

* Bluetooth in general seems to stop responding altogether after awhile. Restart required to get it working. Seems most noticeable when trying to play using a gamepad (NES30 bluetooth gamepad)

* sixaxis pair tool cant seem to configure driver. retries about 3 or 4 times, eventually gives up and restores bluetooth state

* can no longer change default launcher. HALLauncher for instance, does not let me use it as default launcher anymore.

* bluetooth seems to momentarily freeze. Using my nexus remote, sometimes remote stops responding but a usb connected keyboard still works even during this period. remote eventually goes back to normal.



(for the record, I am rooted, though alot of these issues still occured whether rooted or not.)

can anybody else confirm that calendar sync isn't working on current 6.0 roms?



every time i open up the calendar app, it goes through the initial setup. when i get to the calendar, nothing is displayed. i can't choose which calendars to show. going to settings > accounts >google doesn't let me choose whether to sync calendar or not (it seems everything else is there).

jfltecan: Is that really impossible to downgrade from KK to JB? Can someone confirm?



Hi,

I have experience with the Canadian S4 I337M, currently running custom Validus ROM 5.1.1, originally was on TouchWiz 4.4.2;
I have altough a question that seems quite.. debated, did looked around I can't find a definitive answer and know who I should trust. I wonder if options changed in 2015 rather than 2013 when KNOX was still new.

Out of simple curiosity (I will not attempt it, risky, probably useless and I'm running 5.1.1 anyway): I keep reading that it's impossible to downgrade the S4 to 4.2.2, due to the KNOX bootloader on 4.3 / 4.4, I understand that you cannot downgrade below 4.3 which is the "new" KNOX bootloader.

1. I'm simply curious: On the I337M, what happens if you grab the stock 4.2.2 firmware and flash it with Odin anyway, considering I'm on 4.4 ? My guess, if I'm correct, Odin detect the bootloader version right away and says "FAIL". Correct?

2. I used to think it was possible to downgrade from 4.4 to 4.3, since 4.3 has the KNOX bootloader as well. Is this possible anyway, or will Odin fail (Not going to try it, not worth it)? Considering what I've read just today, 4.4 is also a new bootloader. In any case, since that 4.4 bootloader cannot be downgraded (I guess?), there is no way to downgrade from 4.4 to stock 4.3 either? Odin will show "FAIL" ?

3. Is there any other way to downgrade it anyway? I understand that KNOX 0x1 remain irreversible yet, and to my knowledge, it's impossible to dowgrade to 4.2.2 (Or even 4.3?), but I've been reading that it was possible to downgrade if the bootloader is excluded from the TAR archive, make sense to me, but is that true, was that patched? Should I recompile an ODIN package excluding the bootloader, is that how it's done (Too dangerous, not trying it)? Or maybe by using Mobile Odin / FlashFire, downgrading from 4.4 to 4.3 / 4.2 can be acheived, if the bootloader is left untouched? What happens if we try it anyways? Odin fail, or device does boot but doesn't get past Samsung boot logo?

I'm just wondering, and quite confused by the different opinions that were shared. Remember this is for the Canadian I337M variant.

Thanks for confirming, appreciate!
