[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] rohan32:
To get most games compatible with the S4 HTC One X, we need to edit our build.prop file to match that of a Galaxy Note.

Also, there is a multitouch bug in AOKP and CM9 right now where if you hold one finger and put on another, as soon as you pick up one finger the system will stop recognizing the other finger as well. This leads to a really annoying FPS experience. I'd recommend running another custom ROM that is built off stock for now if you plan on playing a game that uses this type of control.

Not all games work after that, some of them have some compatabillity issues.

I will add more working games as people tell me that they are working through this method.

I know the games downloaded via the gameloft website have been working fine, but for those of us who download the games from the market from other devices and want to download it on our S4 HTC One X now, this works.

Thanks to thatg for originally providing me with his build.prop file that he modded.

Please thank this post if this helped you! :)

Also, I don't take responsibility for any games that you might buy and then expect to work but they don't. This may not work for everyone (it should, but still) but if it doesn't, don't blame me for making you spend more money :/
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] _MetalHead_:
Will this allow us to actually purchase the game from gameloft or the play store or do we need to already have the apk?

Edit: I was able to download it but I am getting the not compatible error. Are there other lines in the build.prop that need to be edited?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] rohan32:
I believe it has been working fine from gameloft.com, since they have some special "for evita" section on their website or something. I personally have never bought off their website though.

The apk from the market doesn't work with the HTC One X though, so I just grabbed the APK from my old device and put it on here, did the mod, and it worked.

I'm not sure about whether it will allow you to download the game from the Play Store, though I would assume it would now and no longer display any compatibility issues.

Also, what game were you trying? Did you reboot after saving the changes?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] _MetalHead_:
I couldn't download it from Gameloft but did from the play store. I just edited the build.prop again to reflect the SOC that's in the Note (MSM8660) and am rebooting now. Hopefully this works.

Edit: Still didn't work, there's gotta be something else that needs to be changed.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] rohan32:
Hmm, what game are you trying?

Here is the build.prop that thatg sent me:

http://db.tt/P73EE0Hn
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] _MetalHead_:
NOVA 3
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] rohan32:
Okay let me try it again I just had to reflash so I anyway had to do it. 1 sec.

EDIT: Found it:

ro.product.board=MSM8960

change it to that from evita

Try it now!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] _MetalHead_:
OK gimme a sec here

edit: That was in your first post already
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] rohan32:
Nope I just edited the post to say that. Was it already that value for you?

I just tried it, worked for me. Downloading 120mb of 1.7gb :O haha
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] _MetalHead_:
I found the issue. There was another instance of ro.product.model that needed to be changed to GT-N700. Downloading now :)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] rohan32:
Ah okay cool. Glad it worked! This game is amazing on our device haha. Especially at full brightness :D
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] _MetalHead_:
This just made my day. I loved this on my iPhone and was pissed as hell when it wasn't compatible with our phone. Thanks man.

edit: Wow, this runs great on the One X, smooth as hell. My only complaint is that there are some effects missing from this version vs. the iPhone version (heat from gun is one that comes to mind) but otherwise it looks gorgeous. No idea why they wouldn't release it for our phone.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] rubercarkeys:
installed and updated but..

has anyone had the problem of screen being black or flickering?

htc one s/ zydroid v3.2
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] _MetalHead_:
Nope, working great for me.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] skydrome1:
Pics or it didn't happen!

Can someone post a video/pics of NOVA 3 running on your S4 One X? :)

PS: About the special effects, Hamdir from the international One X forums thinks that the resolution is the deciding factor for whether the game will run with full effects or not. Supposedly, if the 3 dot menu button is there, the game will run with full effects. If it isn't, then the game won't run with full effects. i.e if your resolution is lower than 1280 by 720, then it'll run with full effects. Can anybody confirm this? Additionally, Chainfire3d can also be used to get the full effects running. Link to original post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=27306438&postcount=39
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] whysebastian:
kinda off topic, but does anyone know if doing this will let the One X run google wallet? I've been dying to try it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] rohan32:
Google Wallet isn't working because it doesn't have the correct permissions. Doing this won't help unfortunately.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Enigma_cpl03:
I have a question about this method, Since we can spoof the system check to get these games working, do you think it is possible to spoof so it looks like a oneX T3?

So we can get some of the Nvidia games going, or do the software checks also look for hardware?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] skydrome1:
It depends I guess. Some games have very well written code to prevent it from running on other platforms. Dark Meadow comes to mind.

One way is to run Chainfire3d or Chainfire3d Pro, but that seems to only have limited success.

As for games like NOVA 3, see my post above :)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] _MetalHead_:
There are a few effects missing but not many, the game looks ridiculously good. I had this on my iphone 4S and of course it had full effects on that thing, and the difference between the two is negligible.

On a side note, once the game is installed and all the resources downloaded, you can revert to your old build.prop and the game still runs.

Required files:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8699733/chainsdd-su.zip

Unzip chaindsdd-su.zip and then get a shell with adb

adb shell

Set up the dirs, so shell owns them prior to logging. If shell does not own them then we can not control them. If the logs dir already exists, you may have to do a factory reset to remove them. They should not exist unless someone attempted this previously.

mkdir /data/local/logs
mkdir /data/local/logs/kernel

Open emode's logset activity. First button should be for enabling log set, enable it. Do not exit the activity, but if you do just repeat the below command.

am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.zte.emode/.logset

Confirm the log_kernel.txt file exists, if it does not wait a minute and check again.

ls -l /data/local/logs/kernel/log_kernel.txt

If it exists, delete it and immediately symlink it to /data/local.prop, logset may recreate it, if it does delete and try symlinking again.

rm /data/local/logs/kernel/log_kernel.txt
ln -s /data/local.prop /data/local/logs/kernel/log_kernel.txt

Now we want to wait for /data/local.prop to be created, it may take a minute or two. Keep checking until it exists.

ls -l /data/local.prop

Now once /data/local.prop exists, go back to the logset activity and disable logset. If you don't disable it, it will slowly eat away at all the disk space, and possibly overwrite the local.prop before you get root. Now lets set qemu=1 then reboot.

echo 'ro.kernel.qemu=1' > /data/local.prop
exit
adb reboot

Once you have rebooted, remount, install su.

adb remount
adb push su /system/xbin/su
adb shell chown 0.0 /system/xbin/su
adb shell chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su

Clean up your mess!

adb shell rm /data/local.prop
adb shell rm -r /data/local/logs

Reboot, install the Superuser app from the market and enjoy

adb reboot

Might Not Work As Expected

I just tried this procedure from JCase at the RootzWiki dot com site with mixed results. The phone is a ZTE Merit Z990G from Straight Talk.

I went through all the steps and everything performed as expected. When I start start an app that requires superuser permissions, the app reports that the device has not been properly rooted. I have repeated the process as outlined four times, including downloading the SU file, and have the same results. Titanium Plus, Busy Box Pro and Root Check Basic report that the device is not rooted.

However, a couple of the Google apps - music, movies and reader seem to think the phone is rooted. Any ideas or suggestions will be very appreciated.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jcase:
Sounds like band permissions on su, try

adb shell ls -l /system/xbin/su

if the permissions come out as "-rwsr-sr-x" then you are rooted, try updating su with the suepruser app, or finding a different copy of su.

If the permissions are different or it says it doesnt exist, then you need to repeat the instructions as you missed one or two
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bitshifter52:
Thank you for the fast response. Here are the permissions for the SU file and based on what you are saying they look good:

C:\SDK>adb shell ls -l /system/xbin/su

-rwsr-sr-x root root 22364 2012-06-17 12:47 su

I have located and downloaded a couple of "su" files from XDA and similar sites and the files are identical. I will continue searching for a different "su" file and see if that makes a difference.

---------- Post added at 06:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:43 PM ----------

I looked around and did not find any "su" files that were different than what I downloaded according to the root process. Just for grins I copied the "su" file from my Noot Tablet which is rooted and tried that file. Sadly, it did not make a difference.

Please let me know if there is any other information I can provide or if you would like me to try something else.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jcase:
What happens when you open the Superuser app (note this is not supersu) and go to settings/options and attempt to update su?

It Worked - But Don't Know Why...

I re-installed Superuser and Superuser Elite and now the phone says it's rooted. I've been in IT for over 35 years and it makes me nervous when software "magically" fixes itself. But now that it's working I won't question it and proceed from here. I appreciate your help and your effort.

Generally you have to run superuser once to get it to work I've found, at least recent builds (or maybe its recent android builds)

Not working

I can't even get past step 2, I have the file installed and unzipped on both my computer and my smart phone. The only thing I can find to put in the codes is command prompt which says "error: device not found" when I type in adb shell. My ZTE Merit phone has very low internal memory due to all the retarded system apps that came on the phone, I would very much like some assistance removing them from my phone. I also downloaded superuser elite onto my phone and it doesn't show up with ANYTHING. The first page says

superuse v3.1.3(46)

tap to display changelog

elite installed

su binary not found

a check in the box "outdated binary notification

unchecked box, temp unroot (When tapped it does nothing)

unchecked box ota survival (Again when tapped it does nothing)

I scroll over to the apps section of the program and it says "No apps in list"

What am I doing wrong? This lack of space is quite irritating

SIM Carrier unlock a ZTE Merit Z990G Straight Talk

I'm currently a T mobile prepaid customer and received the Merit from a friend of mine for doing some painting. I have looked for a month now and had a few unlock websites fail at attempting to unlock the phone via the IMEI (which the phone does have ). I have attempted to put my tmobile sim in the Merit but there is NO place to enter an unlock code. I really DONT wanna change my service to straight talk and would be willing to pay a decent amount to anyone that is capable of unlocking this phone for use with tmobile. If you think you have what it takes PM me and i will give you the IMEI and we can work out a deal. I challenge ANYONE achieve the impossible and get me the unlock code and a way to input it into the phone.:eek:

Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvUE7lP5WME&sns=em

Okay everyone! Here is a tutorial on how to get Aircrack tools working with your Android TF300T! This gets your Alpha Card working with all the drivers in android so you can use it in Backtrack!

CREDITS: I do not take credit for the drivers I simply put all the information together.

Requirements :

Rooted Device

4 GB Free Space

USB Port or for a Phone an Adapter that can provide power like a HUB

An Alpha awus036h wifi adapter

Android 4.0 or higher that supports USB Host Mode

A brain!! :yeye:

Required Downloads:

Backtrack 5 installer APP - IN Files.zip

RootFileExplorer - IN Files.zip

Required Drivers

Terminal App - IN Files.zip

Android VNC - IN Fiiles.zip

Modules App - IN Files.zip

Required Files.zip - https://www.asuswebstorage.com/navigate/share/GY4I6766V4

First install all apps.

Follow the guide in Backtrack 5 installer APP to set up your BT5 install.

Next boot up backtrack and compile and install Aircrack!

In a backtrack terminal issue the following commands to install Aircrack:

http://pastebin.com/tPM8Qshp

Once complete stay in the terminal and get wicd manager

apt-get install wicd

Now that is done download the Alpha drivers and extract them to your system

/lib/modules folder.

Drivers: https://www.asuswebstorage.com/navigate/share/GY4JP966V4

Next TURN OFF YOUR WIFI

The drivers conflict with the internal wifi. You need to reboot to gain your normal wifi again!

Open the Modules app and open the system tab and select the 3 drives your extracted and save them!

eeprom_93cx6.ko, mac80211.ko, rtl8187.ko

Make sure to go to the settings in the Modules App and un-check load at boot!

Now connect your Alpha Wifi card and open up your backtrack terminal and type:

/etc/init.d/dbus start; /etc/init.d/wicd start

Then Type

ifconfig wlan0 up

Put your card in monitor mode: airmon-ng start wlan0

Thats it! :thumbsup:

Just start using aircrack or download reaver and your set!

If you want to use reaver just download it in your bt5: http://code.google.com/p/reaver-wps/downloads/list

Here is a good reaver tut: http://www.hackforums.net/showthread.php?tid=2079678

I know this is a fairly basic tutorial but I am a very busy guy these days!! I hope you get this working!

this script requires root! Type:su.

I followed the instructions perfectly. any help?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] SpyFi:
Its really straight forward. Just follow the onscreen instructions as best as possible. Make sure you downloaded the script during the instructions. Also make sure the files are all extracted to a folder on your sdcard named backtrack
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] swest6602:
I apologize if this is obvious and you have already done this, but, Try Typing: su (Enter) at the start of your terminal session to enter superuser mode.

Okay, gonna try asap.

Thanks. I'm wait more positive results for insert it on the index ;)

Good work.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] BryanSo:
Guys ive got a question. What does aircrack do anyway?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] afzalarsalan:
It is a command line tool which lets you *cough* *cough* test the security of your own or other people's networks. ;) Basically if aircrack is able to discover the password on your network in a relatively short amount of time (a couple of hours) you or whoever's network it is needs to boost their security.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Spark1223:
first make sure you have supersu not the normal su.apk. also usb debugging must be on.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] BryanSo:
Cool :) Imma try this
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] xplained:
sorry. supersu? what's that? anyway to the others, yes my first terminal command is su.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Spark1223:
You need busy box and it won't work without an external wireless card.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] SpyFi:
That is correct. I will add busybox to the list of requirements. I forgot to add that one. ;)
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Spark1223:
can you do this with a different wireless card?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] dfoote626:

im running AKOP ROM and this dont work.

I followed all instructions and I get I/O errors in terminal when its mounting before it using the backtrack install apk.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] shrumhead:
You should be able to use this method to install drivers from other wireless cards... HOWEVER, you need to go to backtrack's website (google it), and check the wiki to make sure your wireless card is capable of "injection"

http://www.backtrack-linux.org/wiki/index.php/Wireless_Drivers
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Spark1223:
I'm pretty sure mine is. Has the following chipset, discovered when I use a pc with backtrack: ASUSTek Computer, Inc. RT2573 - using the mac80211 rt2500usb/rt73usb drivers

Its one of the ones listed. Don't I need to compile the .ko modules for ARM? If so, how do I do this and where do I find them?
[LG Optimus Black] jo2012:
Hi,

just noticed in my router web interface that our LGOBs open a TCP and UDP port in the firewall via UPnP.

We have two LGOBs, one with stock LG rom and one with Zeus. Both devices show this behavior. Its 2 entries in the high ports > 12000 each and looks like this:

LGOB 1 TCP Port 12345

LGOB 1 UDP Port 12345

LGOB 2 TCP Port 25345

LGOB 2 UDP Port 25345

What could this be? Skype maybe?

Thanks

JO
[LG Optimus Black] dflt:
Maybe onscreen phone?
[LG Optimus Black] pythoner:
Have you googled fot the specific port that is opened?

EDIT: http://www.networksorcery.com/enp/protocol/ip/ports12000.htm
[LG Optimus Black] jo2012:
No, I did not find any info on those specific port numbers.

According to your website the range 25605-25792 is not assigned to s.th. specific, for example.

Since both phones have different ports with the same pattern, I assume that it is just some random high port that is chosen.
