[Motorola Droid 3] silune:
I'm having a similar issue with trying to restore my applications. I've searched all over but I can't find any answers.

I have the correct files, and made a "restore" folder in the same folder as ADB and SU and all the rest of the files, under the assumption that that is where the program would search for files, but still it asks me to create a restore folder with the files in it.

Yes, I did download them, and I did unpack them into said "restore" folder. Any help would be appreciated, as my phone has that annoying keyboard glitch (with the randomly repeating keys) and I need to get it replaced.

Edit: I should probably make it clear that I already tried putting it in the same folder as the root tools, to no effect.

After re-reading the development thread about the tools and seeing psouza's recovery folder in the same place mine is, I'm pretty lost as to why mine isn't working.

THANK YOU!!!!!

Hello,

the psas.revskills.de/?q=goldcard Website is down, are there any other options to generate the Goldcard.img ?

Thx

Toschschkun.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bitterq:
I've run into the same problem. I know the effen manual says not to use any other tools, but has anyone experimented with the PERL goldcard generator script posted up a while back? (Not sure if I have permission to post a link to another thread, but I'll give it a shot)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=894456

It looks like that thread just died off...

EDIT: Yes, it looks like RevSkills is coming back online - the generator takes a really long time, but the site is only just entering the up/down period I'd assume is troubleshooting.

I tried the PERL goldcard generator and got nowhere... it could be useful with just a smidge more documentation... or it's just some bluster from a couple warring developers. Has *anyone* ever gotten that thing to work? I could generate images, but none of them would work when I copied them onto the SD card.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Bozooka:
Still down.

Hello,

Similar problem here. The site won't load. It looks as if the last time the site went down, it was only offline for a few hours/days, so hopefully it'll pop back up soon. Maybe they're migrating/upgrading their servers because of the massive influx of people wanting to create a Goldcard.

It's interesting that this seems to be the only site that provides the service. Is there a reason for that?

Thanks in advance for any help provided,

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] alx5962:
Hi,

after weeks of trying to figure out out the kernel works, I finally managed to have a working USB gamepad on my Galaxy SII !

It's quite buggy/unstable for now but N64oid detected my buttons :D

It's only working on the official firmware, I'm using 2.3.3 KG1 and only tested on this firmware.

I tested many different gamepads and the only one that I got working is the "Thrustmaster Firestorm digital 3" USB gamepad (it only cost 7 € here !!!)

So what's the steps now ?

- as root "insmod joydev.ko"

- plug your gamepad and type "dmesg" to get more infos about the gamepad detected

- now the gamepad device must have been created : /dev/input/js0

- type "cat /dev/input/js0" in a terminal and when you press your gamepad buttons some weird characters should appear, if not your gamepad is not supported!

- now type "chmod 777 /dev/input/js0"

- install my modified GamepadIME apk

- In Android settings, language and keyboard, check gamepad then select the gamepad IME as the main input method.

- if you're lucky, you'll be notified that your gamepad is detected.

- Your gamepad is simulating a key press so you can see it working in an input area.

A video showing my gamepad in action : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6XEqaqum_PE
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] FPRobber:
It doesn't recognize my dualshock 2 at all and my old WingMan is recognized but the buttons presses aren't. :(

Great work nonetheless. I hope someone (or you ;)) can expand on your great work and add more gamepad compatibility.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] alx5962:
dualshock 2 is not USB ? I also compiled the full joystick kernel modules (xpad, gamepad,iforce,sidewinder, tmdc etc) so it may help with other ones but as I don't have the hardware I can't check the code.

Anyway, only generic gamepads may work, I really tried hard on the Xbox360 one but failed again and again...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jknvv13:
Well... USB devices are supported native in 2.3.4
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] alx5962:
No, joystick support is added to Android 3 only. Also USB device is a generic word for something that uses USB so only a small part of the whole USB devices is really supported by Android for now (keyboards and mice mainly).
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] FPRobber:
I obviously used an adapter :P

My PS3 recognizes both the WingMan and the DS2, so I suppose they are generic in some way.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] alx5962:
That kind of adapter uses the gamepad kernel module, not the joydev one so that's why it doesn't work.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] sonic74:
What did you modify?

I investigated a bit: It's possible to detect button presses without the module and my GamepadIME. But the events are a bit strange. From Activity.onKeyDown() with neither joydev.ko nor GamepadIME:

KeyEvent{action=0 code=0 repeat=0 meta=0 scancode=306 mFlags=8}

"code=0" might lead to the strange effects I have with NESoid: single button presses seem to activate all buttons at once.

So if the emulator/game developers take care for this and analyze also "scancode" and not only "code",

- it's possible to play games without root/module/GamepadIME with the buttons of a gamepad

- it's possible to play games with root/module/GamepadIME with the sticks of a gamepad or with one of those retro adapters for old digital joysticks.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] LockeOn:
Can anyone compile joydev.ko for AOSP based roms like MIUI and CM7? Or mabye someone can guide me in compiling this?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] samipower:
My experience:

1- copy files (joydev.ko and GamepadIMEAlex.apk) to galaxy S2

2-open root explorer in galaxy S2 and select joydev.ko and copy

open lib folder

open modules folder

click on mounted r/w and now you can see mounted r/o

3- pasted into modules the file joydev.ko

4-open android terminal in galaxy S2

write su (now have super user permissions)

write :

cd lib

cd modules

insmod joydev.ko (and ok 0 errors, terminal do not say nothing)

5- to plug a gamepad and wait 5-8 seconds

6- write: dmesg in terminal and you will can see gamepad detected or not

7- write: cat /dev/input/joydev.ko and press gamepad buttons ,

two things can happen: Nothing or Yes it is running

8- Install GamepadIMEAlex.apk

9- now into ajustements ,

look into keyboard/language and mark gamepad option

and in select input method (select gamepad)

10- good lucky

Hi Guys;

Is there an app which can enable password lock for a folder or create a volume like Truecrypt which has to be mounted before accessing?

I saw some apps which can work with Videos/Pics but nothing which can cover multiple file formats(Doc, Pics,Xls etc).

Thanks
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] DT39:
Try Koala, i used it on my desire HD not tried it on Transformer as yet but it should work.

https://market.android.com/details?id=org.mobiledn.android.encrypt
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] AcIdC0R3:
I don't know if your aware of it but Honeycomb can encrypt all your data, apps, etc., etc and require a password every time you turn on your tablet. It even offers password mining where after a certain amount of time it will require you to reset your password to a different one. It will require you to have a full charge and the power connected in order for the encryption to start. Here's a screenie just in case you overlooked it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] RAMBO29:
Thank'd both of you.

Is this encryption trustable and fail proof? Also does it cover the SD card as well?

I was hoping to have a folder protected and dump all the things to there. This one looks good as well.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] AcIdC0R3:
I did some searching as you asked a question I could not answer. Does the encryption cover the MicroSD card and what I found is NO, it does not. Check HERE. If your trying to encrypt docs, spreadsheets, and files for your eyes only I would save them to the internal SD because it will be encrypted.

That makes sense because if it did encrypt the MicroSD card then you would not be able to power on your TF unless that MicoSD card was inserted which in some cases would be quiet useful and could also cause problems if the card decided to fail you would lose all of your information.

Just remember that anything you encrypt, if you lose your password or PIN that all that data will be lost and that's no matter if you use the Honeycomb or third-party software.

In this case you might go with DT39's idea as it can allow you to pick and choose which files you want to encrypt on the MicroSD card. I would also do backups to your PC regularly just in case you do lose information due to theft or if you forget your password.

Good luck. :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] RAMBO29:
Thank'd.

I found an app called SecretVaultpro which is similar to truecrypt atleast in functionality. Didn't try it out extensively. And it makes device slow but workable.As a note once you set the password it is quite hard to change it again.
