Quick Start Guide
This is a quick start guide to download and experience NANS platform on Nexus 5 with Windows based PC. This guide tells you how to install the pre-compiled NANS System images on the device and utilize NANS platform.
This also applies most Google Nexus series smartphones. In order to use other devices instead of Nexus 5, you need to build system images for the target device first (see wiki/Developer's Guide).
- Google Nexus (in this quick guide, only Nexus 5 is supported)
- PC (Windows based)
- Micro 5-pin USB Cable
- At least one of external displays supports Miracast or HDMI. For HDMI connection, you need SlimPort-to-HDMI adapter.
Warning: You may need to backup the phone. Flashing system images will change entire system of the device.
Download Flashing Tools, NANS(5.1.1) for Nexus5 and extract all the files in the same folder.
Note: Flashing tools include 'Nexus USB driver' and 'Fastboot' for flashing NANS system images to Nexus 5. These are from Android SDK.
To flash the system images, the device should be in Fastboot mode. For Nexus 5, press "Volumn Down + Power" buttons while the device is powered off.
If it shows like above, connect to the PC.
Note: If there is a problem with connecting the device, re-install the device driver supplied in Flashing Tools http://developer.android.com/tools/extras/oem-usb.html
Go to the folder you downloaded flashing tools and system images. By executing "Flash_all_Nexus5.bat", you can simply flash system images to the device. This will flash NANS platform system images and restart the device. Now installing is done!
As you flash the images, there will be NANS option in Settings. Enable NANS and Multi-Touch options.
You can use external displays by connecting with SlimPort(HDMI) and/or Miracast.
- For connecting via SlimPort, you can do simply by connecting the cable.
- For Miracast connection, you need to turn on the Wi-Fi, go Settings > Display & lights > Cast screen and then select the wireless display.
