[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vrdude:
Works great for PSX, N64 and older Emu's... I am using FPSE to play PS1 games and EMU64 for Nintendo 64 games. So far most run really well. I also found a cool little app called BTController that will allow my Android phone to become the controller for the Emu's.. It's cool because there are different skins for the type of controller you need at the time. Check it out :)
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j21blackjack:
I also use my TF300 for old games. I use my Wii controllers with nunchuck for N64 and SNES games, you can also use PS3 and 360 controllers. A really sweet setup is multiplayer 007 on my big HDTV via a HDMI cord and the ability to connect 4 controllers!
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 10010110:
^^

Hmmm, I was running 007 on the tf300 and it was chugging hard through the campaign. Are you running stock?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rushless:
Works great for all emulators and the higher resource ones like N64oid, FPse and MAME Reloaded :)

BTW, all three of those leverage the gpu to some degree, so the TF700 will probably be significantly slower, since a 23% clock increase will not compensate for a 130% increase in pixels to push.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Citruspers:
Try overclocking, and disabling both sound and fog in the emulator (I haven't really decided on the difference fog makes, there's pro's and cons for the framerate)
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 10010110:
I was thinking over overclocking, but I've read in other threads that it doesn't actually do anything unless you change the kernel, which I have no idea how to do.

But I'll def check out taking fog off. TY.

Edit: Tried this and somehow it worked better. Not perfect but def better. TY.

Israel CSC Codes:

- CEL

So for example, XEO is a CSC for Poland so our ROMs are named like this "N7000XEOKJ1". You're looking for a ROM named:

- N7000CELXXX

- N7000PCLXXX

- N7000PTRXXX

[For UK Prime users, probably ] I've been trying to watch live Wimbledon on my Prime. I've tried several browsers (Opera, ICS, ICS+, Dolphin) but with little luck. The live steam starts OK, then it flashes black every few seconds (I'm pretty sure this is the BBC end ratcheting up the quality of the stream). It seems to settle, and it looks fantastic, but every few seconds, sometimes 5, sometimes 30, there are drop outs and buffering pauses. Anybody have any luck with streaming this on their Prime, or is it an 'issue'? (BTW, iplayer works fine in HD and SD).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flumpster:
I just tested this for you.

I did this by going to BBC News and then sports and clicking the live streams in multiple browsers.

As you say in Opera and Dolphin the video breaks up and buffers quite a lot so out of curiosity I tested it in the default browser that comes with the Prime. The page was slow to load initially but once I hit play it streamed perfectly and has been running by the side of me for 10 minutes with no buffering or artifacts or any problems at all.

Go figure, the worse browser of all actually works lol.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Restorer:
I think the system they are using for Wimbledon is still in some kind of testing mode for the Olympics. It seems to be constantly attempting to connect at the 3500 kbps rate but then dropping back down even when the signal is strong. A pity because the PQ is really excellent while it maintains the HD feeds.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dgjl:
That was my thought - but it plays fine on my lap-top, with only the odd buffering pause. On the ATP, whether with Stock Browser or several different options, the image breaks up every few seconds - it's like it can't maintain a fix. As said, it's not a problem with iplayer, but only with live streaming.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Restorer:
Yes, HD streams from iPlayer play great on stock browser.

And watching live streams from the iPlayer page is completely smooth - but of course only 1500 kbps 688x384 feeds are available from here. It seems 1280x720 is only available via the Sports web pages. I have noticed today too that most of the links are wrongly labelled!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Restorer:
Update: Watching the Federer match here tonight (accessed through the Sports site) - totally smooth HD live stream. Looks beautiful except for some reason full-screen leaves thin black bars left right and bottom.

So impressive that this thin little tablet can act "out of the box" as live HDTV :D.

[HTC Sensation] tuna629:
Hi all,

I have a TMOUS Sensation 4G. I was on stock rom then I switched to OrDroid 9.0, but I'm experiencing the same problems.

1) Whenever I try to "update all" in Google Play under my apps, the first app will download, but the subsequent ones won't. It will just keep on showing "downloading" but doesn't actually download. Canceling the current download sometimes works; the next download would sometimes start. This problem seems to be worse on Wifi, but it happens sometimes with 4G as well.

I tried clearing the app data and cache for Google Play but that didn't seem to help.

2) When I'm on Wifi (especially when I'm at work), the system time just slows; sometimes it can be 6-10 minutes behind the actual time. My setting is always on auto-update time. Anyone know why this happens?

Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] johnerz:
Delete play store, clear cache reboot download again and re try, I never use auto update as I'm the one who decides when and where also if I'm going to update

Changes in permissions I dislike and updates that there are many complaints about don't get in

so as you can see I always allow others to check the updates work for me (like you :))

Tbo I've no idea on the wifi time issue, try asetting the time correctly and drop the auto update and see :)

UPdate - there is a differnt post about the time issue and the reply indicates that it may have something to do with overclocking - if you do that so read the copy paste below it may help :)

It happened to me when I was using the badass governor, even though I was connected to cell.

Switching to ondemand did the trick for me
[HTC Sensation] tuna629:
Thanks for the reply, johnerz. However, I do not have anything on auto-update. I'll try deleting the Play store and see what happens I guess ... just thought it was weird that the same problem persists even on different roms.

As for the time issue, I'm using ondemand as well so I guess my issue is different?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goister:
Hi,

I've a Desire Z with CM 7.2.0 stable on it, and sometimes it gets really laggy. From logcat output I'm guessing it's probably running out of memory, I get output like this:

Is there anything I can do, or is the device just obsolete?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kbeezie:
You using a swap partition at all? Depending on how many background processes you have going it's possible that it could be a lack of memory as I find it's not that hard to fill up the 384MB space. Though on my G2 I get pretty smooth and snappy performance with just the 64MB DataSwap alone (it's an experimental mode of the EliteMod ICS rom that puts a moving swap file on your /data/ partition, faster access and nicer multitasking). I would think that a small swap partition on your SD at least *might* help, but that course will require backing up the content of your SD card and partitioning it in your recovery to include a swap partition.

Otherwise I'm not sure as I don't understand the dalvik stuff much. But it shouldn't be that your hardware is obsolete, just need some configuration tweaks and maybe a swap partition to help.

PS: I was using CM7.2.0 before this current rom, and it did seem more sluggish than the current rom I use with a few FC, but I wasn't using a swap partition until I switched over to EliteMod, even without the swap it was still performing nicer for me, the main drawback was battery life in comparison to CM7/gingerbread.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nospin:
You tried V6 Supercharging the thing? On it's most aggressive settings there should be no way you run out of memory.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goister:

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xT4Z1N4TRx:

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:

also haven't seen any improvments in cm7.2 if someone could tell me what possibly could be better id love to know
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steven How:
I though 7.2 is better?:confused:
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stranded.eu:
Apparently not on this device ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kbeezie:
CM, AOKP, EliteMod, etc can and will use a swap partition if it's present on the SD card (provided you don't also have a second sd-ext2 partition). Usually if you are running out of memory, then swap may give you that lil extra failover to prevent forced-closes or lagging as memory gets freed.

While I do use both DataSwap (an elitemod experiment) and SD Swap, I find my SD swap is rarely ever used, but having the swap available has made multitasking and performance considerably better for me, I don't know how it would be on CM7.1 (I was using CM7.2 before I switched to CM9 beta13, then to EliteMod ICS).

7.1 was just as laggy as 7.2, so it's not a subversion difference.

Where can I download V6 supercharge? Does it really work as advertised?
[Android Software Development] Kibab:
Android 3+ has a nice feature -- device encryption. You can encrypt the contents of your device with a password, and after that this password must be entered during device boot, otherwise the data is permanently lost.

The bad thing is that this password is set to the screen lock PIN / password. So you either set a short password or PIN, that you can enter quickly each time you unlock your phone from sleep (but this provides weak encryption), or set a long password and have to type it 20-30 times during the day.

This stupid behavior may be fixed easily. Android provides command-line tool called 'vdc', an interface to Android Volume Manager. As written in "Notes on the implementation of encryption in Android 3.0" [1], it has a command 'cryptfs changepw', that allows changing encryption password. Of course this command must be executed as root.

vdc has some other commands related to encryption, one of them is 'cryptfs verifypw', that allows to validate the supplied password.

I'm currently writing an application that will assist user with changing encryption password. This is my first public application for Android. You can find a source code on GitHub [2]. It is very simple, but maybe android gurus here may find what to make better.

Comments and pull requests are welcome :-)

Thanks!

Sorry im noob

What will change visualy?

Or screenshot?
[Android Software Development] randalla0622:
Thank you for this. I wanted a more simple password for the unlock, but a longer more complicated password for the decryption. You should put it on the market and charge $.99USD (or equivalent in your currency) as it's quite useful. I'd buy it :)
[Android Software Development] Kibab:
Thank you!

Actually I have registered myself as Google Play Developer, now I'm waiting for approval. As soon as my registration is approved, I will update this thread :-)

Although I'm going to make a free and donate versions, because I believe that will help to make Android better, and people who want to say "Thank you" will buy Donate version anyway :)
[Android Software Development] Kibab:
Nothing will change visually, hence no screenshot. What's important is that you may set strong password for decrypting the internal storage, but keep using simple password (or PIN) to unlock the screen.

P.S. I have verified that my app works on Jelly Bean too.
[Android Software Development] Kibab:
I have finally published an application on Google Play! Currently there is a free version, Donate version will come a bit later :)

The link is: https:// play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kibab.android.EncPassChanger

Enjoy! :)
[Android Software Development] zurchpet:
Thanks for that app, that is also what annoyed me :D
[Android Software Development] tijuanacartel:
Thanks for this. I've been trying to work out why encryption wont work on any ROM on my HOX (dies with unable to get size of block device cryptfs), and you have given me a good lead to investigate with vdc. Information on encryption in android is sparse, and almost all threads here on XDA get no replies.

Thanks again.
[Android Software Development] pulser_g2:
I've been tempted to use device encryption recently, but there is a distinct lack of information about it, particularly on custom ROMs...

Might need to give it a go, just the lack of backup abilities might be an issue...
[Android Software Development] zurchpet:
I use CM10 on the Galaxy Nexus (maguro). Encrypted. Actually, only /data is encrypted. /system stays unencrypted. And this App works as described.

For Backup use TWRP. It asks for your password to decrypt storage.

You can then backup, restore, flash, install whole ROMs, wipe and what not.

>> I would like to see this app in Play Store :D <<

I should read before I post:

Thanks for that :D

btw. The encrypted /data partition lets you have two boot animations, one that is shown before code has been entered (the one in /system/media) and one after the correct code entry (the one in /data/local).
[Android Software Development] pulser_g2:
Hmm... I have i9100 (S2), so I would need to see about putting TWRP onto it...

Yeah, only data and SD are encrypted... Can TWRP cope with encrypted SD btw?
[Android Software Development] renaud:
Great, it's easier than to change on command line :)

This should just be default android behavior
[Android Software Development] zurchpet:
Yes, SD is encrypted too. And TWRP can only read from it after correct code entry. Don't know about the external SD though (since the Galaxy Nexus doesn0t have one).
[Android Software Development] pulser_g2:
Wish I had a second phone, then I could just research this :)
[Android Software Development] adrianblack:
Quite awesome. Now, can I use a strong password for encryption and then pattern lock for normal day to day use? That would be my ideal situation. I heart pattern lock!
[Android Software Development] vegaman:
Just trying to clarify how this works... so you keep your normal 'short' pin unlock code for unlocking the screen, but set a long code for decryption, and this code will only be requested once per boot, during bootup? Is this correct?

Thanks
[Android Software Development] rakeshdev:
How it works

Yes Sir. You are correct.
[Android Software Development] Kibab:
Unfortunately it's not possible to use pattern lock while using device encryption, Android forbids it. Patching Android framework will help, but this is completely another story and possible suggestion for ROM makers such as Cyanogenmod.
[Android Software Development] Ronaldo Forenucci:
Is the 16 character Android limitation present, when using this tool? I currently use a 16 character device encryption/unlock pass phrase. I'd like to strengthen the device pass phrase some more.

I don't know if this is even possible during the device boot sequence, but being able to use a Yubikey with an OTG cable would be awesome!

RF
[Android Software Development] Kibab:
No, there is no limits on the length of password when using this app. Android itself also doesn't force any restrictions on password length.

See frameworks/base/services/java/com/android/server/MountService.java (framework part, client) and system/vold/CommandListener.cpp (server part).

So you can really set as long password as you like. I hope there is no restrictions built in while reading password from user during boot, though... Need to check this.
[Android Software Development] Ronaldo Forenucci:
Thanks. I thought that when creating a lock screen code, there was a limit?

From the Guardian Project site:

https://guardianproject.info/2012/01/04/strong-mobile-passwords-with-yubikey-usb-token/

And I also seem to remember a pop up when creating it on the device itself, which is why I asked.

Thanks for the App!

RF
[Android Software Development] brocktice:
This is a much needed utility

Thanks for writing this. I can't believe it's not built into ICS. However, it says 'OK' when run on CM10/toro, but then the password did not change. What are the commands to change the password manually?

---------- Post added at 05:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:45 PM ----------

Of course, right after I post this it now works for some reason. It would still be good to have the commands listed to do it manually. I may try to figure it out from your source. Thanks again!
[Android Software Development] Kibab:
The command is 'vdc cryptfs changepw', see also https://github.com/kibab/encpasscha...ndroid/EncPassChanger/ChangePasswordTask.java

Please describe in detail what have you done and how you have tested that password did not change, that's interesting and maybe I should fix something.

Regarding password length limit, yes the Android UI may enforce some restrictions, but on the low-level there is no any checks of length. The only thing that I really should check is that is there is any restriction in password prompt that is presented during device boot.
[Android Software Development] brocktice:
I'm not really sure what happened the first time.

I put in my old and new passwords, clicked the button and the program said it was changed OK. However, then when I rebooted it needed the old password. I had a problem where it froze or ran out of juice suddenly later in the day, so maybe it has to shut down correctly to save the new password?
[Android Software Development] brocktice:
Just set this up on the first try on my Nexus 7, no trouble. First time with the GNex must have been PEBKAC. Thanks again for making this app!
[Android Software Development] Kibab:
Great, glad that it works also on Nexus7.

I'm going to buy it btw, when I visit NY this October :)
[Android Software Development] naguz:
Works great on CM9 on Galaxy S2. Thanks! Now if only I could choose to combine encryption with a lock screen pattern! Time for a feature request, maybe. Too bad so few care about encryption, will probaly go unnoticed.
[Android Software Development] pulser_g2:
https://santoku-linux.com/howto/mobile-forensics/how-to-brute-force-android-encryption

A good reason to use this, and have a strong encryption key, rather than relying on the PIN yo secure the actual encryption key...
[Android Software Development] renaud:
Actually, this is weaker than you think...

This 7 lines shell script run in recovery allows to recover a 4 digits pass: http://pastebin.com/Mdu06RZN
[Android Software Development] pulser_g2:
Bahahaha... Google didn't think to put in rate limiting or brute force protection, even for online attacks?
[Android Software Development] Ronaldo Forenucci:
LOL. True, but us crypto nerds are using 17 full ASCII characters for the stock encryption....a lot longer brute force time than 4 digits! :D Now with this utility..fugetabouit! It would be great if a YubiKey would work via OTG on the password entry screen at boot.
