I think, this thread is something, that shouldn't be here. It's all about choices. I don't like the ROMs of all devs here, so I made my own. :-) But I am still glad they are here. And I appreciate their work.

A developer is anyone who developed something for Android. Themes, roms, hacks, root methods, modifications, even scripts. Just because someone doesn't build from source doesn't mean they don't bring something to the community.

[Motorola Photon 4G] Lokifish Marz:
To those that may be offended by my position let me clarify. I was on the Evo for the first price drop. A ton of ROMs suddenly appeared that were no more than a font or color change by folks claiming to be devs. To me, simple edits like that are not development or ROMs. I've seen the same with themes, swap a font and call yourself a dev. There are script releases by "devs" that all that was done was change the device name or partition location. To me none of that stuff counts as honest development.

Another example is ROMs from the JoyOS port guides. Copypasta and a couple build.prop edits and look you have JoyOS. That in itself is not development to me. Now if you have to go through and do framework/smali edits to get it to work, that's a whole different story. That requires know how, skill and time.

spleef, Th3Bill and others, I'm sorry if you took my previous post personally. I consider you guys a dev and your work is well beyond anything I have released. Digging around in the code to get things to work is not easy. There are many with contributor titles really should read developer. (again, in thinking about it I really am not one of them). I was also speaking about android as a whole and not specifically the photon forum.

I can't speak for others but I agree with you on this only to a point. It goes back to the first paragraph in this post. To me, a font change or other very minor changes isn't development. I'm speaking in general however. When it comes to the Photon specifically, there's a lot of actual deving being done and folks that are very deserving of dev status (again, I am not placing myself in that category).

To All,

A lot of crap has happened to me personally over the past couple months. My attitude is lousy at best and I think it time I walk away for awhile. If I have offended I am sorry. Feel free to grab any of my work and run with it. I also have the following unfinished projects up for grabs;

2.3.5 sudo-Blur ROM with root ODEXed and De-ODEXed built straight from the 2.3.5 leak. (USB is intermittent but not sure if its the phone or the ROM)

webtop+ 2.3.5 leak (missing apps)

Copypasta JoyOS port (never connects to service)

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linkoblivion:
Ok, so I updated from build 3.0.1.B.0.270 to 3.0.1.B.0.285 through pc companion and lost root access (which is unacceptable). So then I flashed back to .270 then rooted through flashtool then searched for an OTA for .285 (because I read on another thread that OTA was the only way to retain root on .285) but the search said "No Updates Found". Anyone have any idea why it wont find an update and if it is not possible to do it OTA then is there anyway (other than pc companion or flashing) that I can update to .285?

Xperia Play r800at
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] traybourne:
Just flash the 4.0.2.A.0.42 firmware with flashtool and then root it using the zergrush exploit, which is included already in flashtool. You can download the firmware from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1313505
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linkoblivion:
So would that be exactly the same as the stock .285 build for the r800at?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spectre51:
No it is different. The ota to .285 is available. Just try it again and maybe give it sometime before trying the update again. Its how I got to .285 keeping root.
[Acer Iconia A500] Rogue Leader:
So I got my A500 yesterday, updated to ICS this morning, and downloaded my free Gameloft games this evening. NOVA 2 works without a hitch, but Asphalt 6 comes up with a "Could not Play Movie" error twice then just sits there. Dungeon Hunter 2 just straight crashes when you try to start it. Anyone get these to work? I'm assuming its typical Gameloft crappy programming and an ICS problem.
[Acer Iconia A500] JdgM3NT4L:
Hi, for the movie not playing go download Mobo player and the codec pack. Worked for me. As far as far as Dungeon hunter goes I haven't tried it after my upgrade. But if it doesn't work right now you may just have to wait for an update from Gameloft...
[Acer Iconia A500] Rogue Leader:
LOL Will have better luck waiting to win the lottery! Shadow Guardian has been broken from Day 1, as in the game cannot be completed, they know about it, and still haven't fixed it. It came out last summer.

As for Mobo player, theres like 20 CODEC packs, which one do I need?
[Acer Iconia A500] hellvy:
i can play Asphalt 6 i bought on Playstore. 3 free games i got are DH2, Asphalt6 and NOVA2. Only NOVA2 can play on ICS, DH2 crash, Asphalt 6 didn't test.
[Acer Iconia A500] DOOM12:
Hi there Im new here and I was have the same problem wen upgrade to ICS, searching in the web found some gameloft games for asus tft101 that works very fine in the iconia A500 whit ICS

4.0.3 OTA I don't tested in other ROMS so I hope these tip was houpfull for you. :cool:
[Acer Iconia A500] JdgM3NT4L:
When I installed it I was prompted by the app. It directed me to the market to download MoboPlayer Codec for ARM V7_VFPV3.

As far as updates from Gameloft go. Some things get fixed, some don't. If it doesn't work shoot them an email, explain, wait a week for a response, choose your new other free game and respond, wait another week and when you get that response, download and enjoy your new, not dungeon hunter, game.

Or just do what DOOM12 suggests, or both...
[Acer Iconia A500] Rogue Leader:
Downloaded the codec and mobo finds and plays the intro but when I try to run the actual game is still gives me the error.

And yes they do give free games which is nice, problem is I own basically every one that I want to play on my Xperia Play including these games, I would just like to play them on my tab as well.
[Acer Iconia A500] Rogue Leader:
Should I maybe uninstall and delete Asphalt 6 and try to re-install it now that I have moboplayer and the codec? Is there something I need to do to have the game use mobo to play the intro?
[Acer Iconia A500] blazingwolf:
The codec will not help the game play. it only helps to play the videos separately.

It's always possible that a reinstall could help though it may take an update from Gameloft before it works again.

I just downloaded Asphalt 6 on to my A500 and it is working for me in ICS. Try a redownload including data to see if that helps. :)
[Acer Iconia A500] Rogue Leader:
Thats weird. Are you running stock ICS or someones ROM?
[Acer Iconia A500] blazingwolf:
Rooted stock.
[Acer Iconia A500] DOOM12:
Lol, you don´t need a special codec to play the game, like I told you, in htcmania forum are the gameloft and EA games cooked for Escorbutopia for asus tft101, that can be played in our iconia a500 tablets because they are compatible.;)
[Acer Iconia A500] Rogue Leader:
Just redownloaded and it still gives me the same error and doesn't work. Anything else special you have running?
[Acer Iconia A500] blazingwolf:
Nothing I can think of. Sorry. Perhaps it doesn't like something you have going on in your device. Have you tried backing everything up and starting fresh to see what happens?
[Acer Iconia A500] Rogue Leader:
I'm just rooting it now. I could do that but I literally bought it, OTA updated it, and then downloaded those games, so I don't know that anything could have affected it...
[Acer Iconia A500] dabl8:
asphalt works for me. it asks to download an extra 5mb when you change rom,that's all.

[Acer Iconia A500] Rogue Leader:
Hmm maybe its the version they provided me, I will need to check that when I get home. Maybe there is a newer version on ICS or something. What is the version number you are on?
[Acer Iconia A500] dabl8:
1.3.3 . you could be right, I only installed it when I was on ics

[Acer Iconia A500] Sanien:
Gameloft suck!

I have factory reset my A500 with stock ROM a few times now and installed the "newest" version provided by Gameloft support... no joy! WTF this is what you get for buying games! I should really start pirating them if this is the quality you get!

Tried the mobo thing didn't even play the movies.
[Acer Iconia A500] Rogue Leader:
This theory is right, the version their site is providing is 1.1.6 which is probably why it doesn't work. I sent them an email and told them this, and the guy emailed me back and offered me 2 free games, but never sent me the updated Asphalt 6, (instead he said they are "sending the issue to the dev team") so I'm gonna email again and say hey this is what I want!
[Acer Iconia A500] olokos:
Haha :D i know the problem ;) i had the same issue ^^ solution? Weird but trust me. Redownload ALL sd data (about 500 mb) and dont let the screen to switch off... it sounds crazy but it worked 4 me. Found on web :) have fun! :beer:
[Acer Iconia A500] Rogue Leader:
Hmm.... worth a shot i guess
[Acer Iconia A500] blazingwolf:
That's why I got mine form the Play Store (it was the Market when I actually bought it). This helps out a lot.
[Acer Iconia A500] Rogue Leader:
Yeah that didn't work.

I actually already own the game on my Xperia PLAY (not from play store) so I probably won't spend the money to buy it, but for free why the heck not!
[Acer Iconia A500] Rogue Leader:
Good news and bad news:

Good news is they sent me 3 free games for this issue, Hero of Sparta, Backstab, and 9mm (already beat 9mm on my Xperia Play, it was ok).

Bad news is they won't fork over Asphalt 6 v1.3.3 despite me telling him thats the problem that will fix it.

Basically anyone who owns the PLAY Store version (1.3.3) it will work with ICS, anyone who owns the Free Iconia version, (1.1.6) it will not work.

And Dungeon Hunter 2 straight out doesn't work either way as far as we know.
[Acer Iconia A500] JdgM3NT4L:
I have the version from their site. Not the play store. It plays fine on my tab. Wish I could help more than confirm that the non Play Store version works.
[Acer Iconia A500] olokos:
For me it worked tho. Make sure that screen wont turn out. For xperia play i had to download EXACTLY 3.7.0 version.
[Acer Iconia A500] Rogue Leader:
My version on the Play works perfect (I've beaten the game twice on there). I kept the screen on the whole time but no dice. I managed to get my hands on a different version that does work, unfortunately GL didn't provide it.

That said so far they have provided me with 4 games for my trouble, Backstab, Gangstar Rio, Hero of Sparta, and 9mm. Unfortunately Backstab doesn't download data, and Hero Of Sparta is the Demo version, I haven't even tried the others!
[Acer Iconia A500] lloverlordll:
get v 1.3.3 of asphalt 6

For all those who get the 'sorry cannot play video' while starting asphalt 6 on iconia a500 just download or request v1.3.3 for ics ...This will surely work..
[Acer Iconia A500] Rogue Leader:
Yeah I asked them for this 4 times, and instead got 4 other games of which only 1 actually works.

The pest part I even figured out why one of the games they sent me (Backstab) doesn't work, and they don't fix it anyway...
[Acer Iconia A500] azoller1:
asphalt 6 worked for me on Civato's flexreaper rom and nova 2 worked, even nova 3 worked but it crashed after like 10min on multiplayer, dungeon hunter 2 havent tried and dungeon hunter 3 did work but after 1min or two it crashes, so maybe you could try a new rom besides stock
[Acer Iconia A500] Falcon1:
I have the same issue,I got the free version of asphalt and a message appears each time I try to open the game. It says the video does not work. The other gameloft 3d games work perfectly.
[Acer Iconia A500] sergeantosborne:
I was having some issues with certain games... one being GL's Dungeon Keeper III... the latest version of Flexreeper RF1-V.4 extreme edition seems to have fixed it. At least I died in the game before it froze... about 10 min or so (it never froze, I just sucked at the game)...

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superxpro12:
After trying to do a factory reset with the latest CWMR, my kindle no longer mounts any of the partitions. I have been able to view the folders when directly loading TWRP through fastboot, but fastboot oem format doesnt work, nor does firekit usb tools, nor rekindle, and yes I've tried the short into usbboot mode method. The kindle was fully functional this morning until trying to do a factory reset.

Unfortunately, I missed the little one line blurb buried in the CWM dev post about not doing this, but it completely ruined all adb partitioning functions. I can access an adb shell and fastboot, but no repartition tools are working. This includes the entire thread about reformatting each partition http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1388996

Nearly every command I issue in parted, when booting from fastboot directly into cwm, hangs, and I have to ctrl+c out of it.

I do not know where else to turn at this point. It seems like I need to completely wipe the emmc, but it won't respond to any commands required to do this.

I checked the emmc type, I forget the post, and it was not the type affected by the one-time-write bug.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to reformat the kindle from the ground up, becuase that's the only thing left... basically ripping out the memory chip and erasing it.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vbdss:
I am on the same page as you, others are too

Dont know what to do, i live in brazil and will cost as much as a new kindle to send it to repair.

I am thinking about formating the /dev/block/mmcblk0 in ext4 but dont know if it will make things even worse.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superxpro12:
I thought about asking for fastboot images and flashing all the partitions through that, but I'm not sure that would work because the partition table is still ruined beyond repair.

edit:

if we completely erase the emmc, can it still do a usbboot shorting the pin to ground? then maybe the partition table would take.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vbdss:
Do you think the eMMC is the problem? I think its only the partitions, maybe the master /dev/block/mmcblk0 is corrupt and the other are too.

If you try to Mount USB Storage on TWRP or CWR, it will say, at least on mine, that the windows needs to format the storage and if you agree, it dont recognize the size of the partition
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thepooch:
I have read a few threads where others have gone ahead and let windows format their SD card it seems they had good results I don't know how this pertains to the problem you guys are having maybe the only recourse is to buy another motherboard sadly I will dig around later to see if I can find a solution.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superxpro12:
I never got it to mount the usb partition, but I agree, it's definitely partition table related. Under adb shell I can view all the files on there that should be there, specifically the ones I downloaded. Not sure what I could do from here, since installing anything would be moot anyway without partitions to install to.

Can you run an adb shell? What is the result of running 'fdisk /dev/block/mmcblk0' ? My shell just hangs until i ctrl-c out of it. The problem with this whole situation is that every tool that could possibly format the disk just hangs when used...

[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] CheyenneDonna:
I doubt it comes anywhere close to using a Wacom tablet but I don't find it too laggy. I think the biggest difference is the pressure sensitivity or lack of. ASUS makes a Windows tablet with a Wacom stylus but the price is steep.

I'm curious; is there a paid version? I can't find it on the market, and apparently the free version doesn't let you save?.

Also, this comment (about the free version) is interesting: "PLEASE make it compatible for tablets like the ASUS Transformer TF101 and Xoom etc as it doesn't work right and the scaling is a bit off". It sounds like your experience is a bit different, to say the least :) Any idea what this person is talking about?
