[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gpszkit:
You need to edit the file as a root.

I have another question: how can I remap side buttons, so they would work, when scrolling with your finger on touchscreen fails? The app I want to work is eMPendium. Could any one be so kind and try to install the app on his/hers NST and letting me know if remapping is possible?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] outlogic:
tried to remap the keys to no avail

key 407 VOLUME_UP

key 412 RIGHT_PREVPAGE

key 139 RIGHT_NEXTPAGE

key 158 VOLUME_DOWN

Now after rebooting when I hit the right buttons I actually get a volume indicator and can "change" the volume

i rooted my devices with ZeroLab Nooter as well as NookManager. I also use NTGAppsAttack and custom kernel #166.

Any idea how to change the behavior of the right buttons to enable scrolling?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] svet-am:
I am running the latest HyperDroid-CM7. Which video players (are there any) support hardware decode? If there are any, which codecs are supported for hardware decode?

I've been encoding in H.264 via Handbrake but I'm getting lots of stuttering in the players I've tried. If I need to try a different format, I just need to know which one(s).
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] matejdro:
Stock video player, RockPlayer, MoboPlayer etc.

Practically any player can play in HW mode. Just make sure to enable Hardware Decoder in settings
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] svet-am:
I am using MoboPlayer and there is an option in settings called "Default Using Soft Decoding". It was _not_ checked. I checked it an now I'm getting much smoother playback.

Did I just _enable_ software decode? If so, why is it playing better?

I think I'm not understanding something here.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] swaipa:
As far as I know, HD2 doesn't have hw support for H.264 but for H.263. So when converting your movies in Handbrake, use H.263 as output.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] svet-am:
I swapped ROMs to NexusHD2-Gingerbread and now MoboPlayer is working much better than it did under HyperDroid. I think it might have been a HyperDroid issue.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] juami:
Try diceplayer.

Mobo/Rock/VPlayer can't play MKV(+DTS) in hw decoder mode.

diceplayer can play MKV/M2TS/AVI using hw decoder.

For anyone else interested in this:

diceplayer is indeed good, play flawless video with hardware decoding

Has anyone else tried installing this game from GetJar?

http://bit.ly/jGI6uo

The above link prompts you to download the downloadhelper.apk which installs the GetJar app. When trying to open this though, the phone returns to the home screen briefly before going to a black screen and just hanging. Eventually I get a force close option pop-up but it's generally pointless.

I'm running MoDaCo Fr19 beta2 if it matters but anyone else tried it on this device?
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Download helper? Screw that, I direct-downloaded cuttherope.apk from GetJar.
[LG Optimus 2x] pulsation:
Had this problem a few times this morning, using Opera. After 2 or 3 downloads and clearing application data, the "GetJar" app on the phone launched the GetJar mobile site, and everything went ok.

[Xoom General] dayyanj:
Hi all,

I got myself a Xoom Speaker Dock and made a couple of mods to it.

Now it has a USB OTG port at the back (at the cost of the speakers... sigh)

What I am now trying to do is use an eternal display (HDMI) that has a USB touch interface. The HDMI works however is pretty loose so disconnects very easily. The mouse (read: Multi touch monitor) doesn't work. If I attach keyboard or standard mice to the OTG port, it works without issue. My guess is I need to install some "drivers" on the Xoom to get the multitouch external monitor to act as an HID?

Any ideas where to start?
[Xoom General] coreyzw:
I know when you talk about windows, it would need specific multitouch drivers to enable an HID device for multitouch. Im sure you would need the same in Android.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _delice_doluca_:
i am planning to sell my galaxy s, and buying a galaxy s tab 7".. i made some research and learned everything is exatcly same but tab has advantages of having more ram (489 MB instead of 329 MB), more memory (16gb instead of 8gb) and a bigger screen which is risk-free of burning .. so, on the paper everything looks better at tabs side.. even the prices.. in my country galaxy s is 1200 turkish lira, tab is 900.. most likely i will sell my galaxy s for 1000, and i am going to buy 2 tabs (or if you convince me galaxy s is better, i will buy another galaxy s:)) ..

but i would like to know if there is any other things i should know ? i am still not sure if its worth of changing? which one is samsung going to support more with the software? because new generation samsung devices are all coming with dual cores.. and i am sure they have some software differences, which one performs better? and which one is more usefull? should i just stick to my phone? or should i make the deal and get the tab?

and one more thing; i mostly want to do that because i believe galaxy tab will give me more user available free memory.. with galaxy s i generally have 100-130 mb of free memory without widgets (with touchwiz4 theme) and it hardly gives me enough ram to play asphalt 6, when there are widgets i get force closes or freezes.. so i wonder how much free ram for myself will i get with tab?

thank you everyone..

[Gen8 Android Development] Lenn:
Just go to the download archive of bubu:) The last file boot menu is from the first of july and the ladt gingerbread is from the 29th of juny;)

http://download.openaos.org/bubu/gen8/

Here are the boot menu files, in /android - directory are the gingerbread files;)

I maked a video of showing cyan on gen8 but arctablet.com did a video of installation process;)

I dont have Urukdroid running on boot menu yet, but i/we work on that:)

But, i think you want cyan, so:

First steps:

1) Wipe your archos completly. (If you want to backup your apks;))

2) Flash the initramfs and zImage of the boot menu trough sde menu.

Report, when you have completed these steps, i will give you next instructions;)
[Gen8 Android Development] sibere:
why wiping the device?

I left uruk on mine. When I want to try the latest CM, I just transfert the img file to internal storage, flash zImage and ramfs , and voila. to get back to uruk, I just flash back my uruk zImage initramfs again. It's working perfectly and I don't have to wipe anything at all.

[Gen8 Android Development] Lenn:
Yeah, normally you dont have to do this, but he has problems by installing the menu, and he dont maked the usual failures...

so he should do this, because with an completly fresh device you cant have issues:)

I've got Uruk and CM7 running on the openAOS multi-boot menu. (lxde and bodhi as well :D) I posted a tut...
[Gen8 Android Development] cardefbel:
Due to initramfs limit from openAOS multi-boot you can't boot from external SD-card (/dev/mmcblk2p2). These devices are not declared in the /dev dir.
[Gen8 Android Development] msticninja:
Was that recently changed? I've swear I've booted multiple partitions from blk2, and nobody in the openAOS chat forum said anything about that...

EDIT: Just talked to BuBU, he said there shouldn't be any issue. All devices must be probed in the initramfs, so if it wasn't declared in it, the sdcard wouldn't be available in any of the booted OSes.
[Gen8 Android Development] cardefbel:
Strange, my UrukDroid, Gingerbread and HoneyComb could not boot from external SD card. Used debug version, and tried it manual but no luck. Changed the initramfs by adding the devices myself and of it went.

I dd'd my Gingerbread to partitions on the SD card, so I don't have to reinstall data every time when there is a new version.
[Gen8 Android Development] gi4257:
Honeycomb ???? You have Honeycomb ROM on Archos G8 ?
[Gen8 Android Development] alexdk:
Do I always have to start the gingerbread from dev.menu on recovery?

He may have screwed something up in the version you used. :) I did actually mention it, so it may be fixed if still broken.

This might be the problem..:)

@cardefbel

Could you post your honeycomb.img?:)

I tried it on my VMware (ubuntu) with instructions from the IRC... dont worked:(

Do you maked something different?;)
[Gen8 Android Development] msticninja:
That's the sgx overlay version, or something. It should be 0 for pretty much any android image, and 1 for any debian/ubuntu images.
[Gen8 Android Development] Lenn:
Ahh, okey, now i know more:D:)

Do you know anything about the hc image?;):)
[Gen8 Android Development] cjdalessio:
Based on comments here: are people successfully mounting their sdcard (as opposed to the internal 8/16GB)? I've been unable to do so, and that's one of the two key frustrations I have with this at the moment.
[Gen8 Android Development] fzelle:
not on my a70s, and wifi isn't working either.

Edit:

Found the wifi problem.

Bubu inherited the channel 10 scan problem, means that channels above 10 are not scanned and therefore wifi is not working here.

Titanium and camera are not working because the sdcard is mounted to the "wrong" spot.

Better would be /storage/sdcard.
[Gen8 Android Development] Veritas06:
What are some other images that people have gotten to work with multiboot? I want to see if i just have horrible luck with the gingerbread image, or if it's the multiboot itself.
[Gen8 Android Development] msticninja:
I just had BuBU update the initramfs. You can boot from sdcard partitions now. I don't know about images stored ON those partitions(i doubt the card is mounted at boot), but you can definitely boot from the partitions themselves. I have 4 partitions working ATM(CM7, Bodhi, LXDE, and the debian-archos version).
[Gen8 Android Development] msticninja:
When's the last time you updated the initramfs/zimage, and where are you trying to boot the images from?
[Gen8 Android Development] Veritas06:
I've tried like the three latest init & zImage's from babu's directory & i've tried the last two debug init ones he had posted. Images are both on the 14GB internal memory. I redownloaded the latest GB image & saved it as gb.img, & added the proper line into the menu file to see if that made any difference. When i boot i get to the OS selection, with the default Gingerbread line as well as the "gb" line i added, & neither will get past the openAOS boot logo. I've let it sit for well over an hour & still no change. I'm looking up how to actually viwe the debug messages to see if there's any error about not reading the images. I just figured i'd give another one a shot to see if there's any difference.
[Gen8 Android Development] msticninja:
The default GB line isn't going to work if you renamed the image to gb.img. It expects openaos-gingerbread.img. Your custom line should read:

GB||/gb.img|/init|0

If it does, then something is wrong. The initramfs was literally updated about 12 hours ago with some of my additions, so make sure you stay up to date. As for other images, I actually haven't found any that

won't

boot. None of them work fully of course, but I still get to a desktop.

Can I see your menu.lst?
[Gen8 Android Development] Veritas06:
When i just tried it tonight, i had re-downloaded everything, so i definitely had the latest versions. I just wiped my whole device to put UrukDroid on it so i could have a booting OS so i lost my original menu.lst, but i'm redoing it now ( just tested in & still freezing at openAOS boot logo ).

When i tested the gb.img i did copy a new line with the proper image name as well. I attached a copy of the menu.lst but changed the extension because xda wouldn't allow the *.lst.

There has to be something stupid/simple that I'm missing, I just can't seem to figure out what it is.
[Gen8 Android Development] cjdalessio:
So. I am observing 100% Time Without Signal. Lovely. :) Not surprising either given there IS no signal to be found in these... I just disabled data over Mobile Network (settings>wireless & network settings>mobile networks) to see if that helps things. It's using quite a bit of battery though, thus the concern.

That wasn't so much an interest as having the sdcard actually mount somewhere in path where it's actually find-able as media storage so I can include songs on it... Though /sdcard has plenty of problems on its own - I don't have proper permissions there even as root (I tried copying a launcherPro backup into /sdcard and it refuses, though it created the directory - which I can not delete now)

Other one is BT as I prefer tethering with that if I don't need the bandwidth - phone battery does much better on it.
[Gen8 Android Development] msticninja:
The mobile network stuff is going to be hard to cook out. All CM7 devices so far have cell chips.

As for the Sdcard, not sure what's up with the permissions, I don't have that trouble. I could try running an fsck on it to be sure the FS is clean. As for mounting it somewhere usable, I just added a couple mount lines to the init:

mkdir /sdcard/sdcard
mount -t vfat /dev/block/mmcblk2p1 /sdcard/sdcard

When I open that file, it shows the encoding as ANSI. It could be from the upload/download, but make sure your menu.lst is in UTF-8 with Linux carriage returns. Easiest way to do that is to make it in gedit or leafpad in Linux. So far I've had luck with the text editor in Root Explorer, but I don't exactly trust it.

Other than that, everything looks fine. You say it's freezing at the openAOS logo though? Usually if it's a problem with the menu.lst, it will immediately reboot, not hang. I think you'll need to flash the debug kernel and hook up a terminal through USB. That way you'll at least see the last action before freezing.
[Gen8 Android Development] cjdalessio:
Yeah. That was more of a tip. :) Turning it off should do the trick.

What is at /sdcard is not the sdcard. Nor is it the built in 16. It's very weird. Plan to dig in more at work where mobile isn't job and no one will think twice about me being buried in my tab. :)

UTF-8 edit didn't work for me, ANSI did. Unless there was a quiet LF conversion I didn't get to see. Possible.
[Gen8 Android Development] cjdalessio:
Everything in /sdcard is owned by the app that created the files. /sdcard is owned by system. Is still not the actual sdcard.

I can mount the real sdcard wherever but the system still knows nothing of it. I'm wondering if the multiple partitions on the card are part of the issue.

TWS still 100% and chewing through battery. Will have to find a fix for this rom to be viable it seems.

@Bubu:

What's in the new zimage and initram?

[Gen8 Android Development] gbohm:
just for example the nook color never had an cell radio

sent from my droid (not the one you are looking for)
[Gen8 Android Development] Veritas06:
I think it was in ANSI just because of the upload. I just double checked in gedit, "saved-as" & made sure UTF-8 & Unix Line endings are used. I'll try Root Explorer too, to see if i have any luck with that.

Yeah, it's currently freezing after i select which OS / image i want to boot. I just attempted to boot with the newlu updated init & zImage with the same problem & i'm now just looking for the documentation on the debug kernel to see where the problem is occurring.

[Gen8 Android Development] msticninja:
It's supposed to be. If the gingerbread and froyo both use the same sdcard for apps2sd and external data, it's going to be trouble.
[Gen8 Android Development] msticninja:
Hmm, lot's of stuff there. Do you still have your stock Archos on there? It does need the squashfs to still be available, as it mounts it to steal some modules.

But it looks like everything is failing to read the superblock too, so that's weird....

You should post some info in the openaos IRC chat.
[Gen8 Android Development] Veritas06:
Currently I have UrukDroid on there. Is that close enough since it's based on an official update or should I just install official? If UrukDroid is okay, i'll go into the IRC & see what they have to say. Just want to have everything properly setup if they ask.
[Gen8 Android Development] msticninja:
It's important that you still have the squashfs on mmcblk0. If you haven't done any repartitioning, it should be okay. Just removing the Android entry in the recovery menu shouldn't hurt.
