[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] voltagex:
As title says, only tested on rooted stock Samsung ROM - built from update3 sources.

Unpack the bz2, then copy the .ko file to your SD card or internal storage. Use a terminal app, SSH or ADB shell to insmod xpad.ko and you're winning.

Seems to emulate a keyboard, works on Snes9xEX at least. Controller LEDs keep flashing - if anyone knows what option to pass to fix that I'd be appreciative.

Your other option is the BT/USB Controller app from the market.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] cba1986:
How do you know that the module is loaded?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] voltagex:
Pair the controller with the wireless dongle, and move the sticks - it should make the funny water droplet noise.

Edit: lsmod will show it too
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] freakonaleash:
doesn't work with siyah kernel,exec format error.....
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] voltagex:
That doesn't surprise me, it'll have to be rebuilt at some stage for Siyah specifically.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] leon_notts:
sorry im a complete NOOB but can you explain "Use a terminal app, SSH or ADB shell to insmod xpad.ko"
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] nfsmw_gr:
type terminal emulator on market download the one you like then,put the file from here after you extract it of course in a folder you will create and name plugin on your internal sd card and finally type insmod /sdcard/plugin/xpad.ko in the app you downloaded and you're all set! :)

(you must be rooted i think and if you want to have the plugin running each time you reboot your phone you will need to write this line in a file with no extension and place the file on system/etc/init.d directory supposing you have a root browser file manager ex. root explorer installed!)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] webup:
This wont pair a xbox 360 wirelessly with the S3 will it?

Are you talking about using the controller via usb?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] nfsmw_gr:
Yes only with usb!

Dunno maybe it could work if you have the wirelless adapter for the controller though...:)

Well, it's not working with speedmod kernel too, same respond as siyah. I did try to flash fully rooted stock kernel by ficeto, and it worked great (yeah, the controller lights kept blinkin' like crazy :D). Spent some times spraying bullet in Dead Trigger on it :D Nice work, dude!:good:
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] earl00:
Hi all is there a tutorial on how to cross compile and create modules with source?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] paua__:
I remember doing this with my Tab 10.1, and you have to insmod another module called "ff-memless.ko" (get it from droidbasement.com(credits:pershoot)) BEFORE you insmod xpad.ko. I ordered my otg cable yesterday from DX for my SGS3 so i wont bother testing it today. Hope it works!

EDIT: WARNING: doing these modifications can/will damage your device. If I'm not mistaken, kernel modules are made specificly for devices/kernels/rom's. I'll await hardcore dev input on this before testing, with perhaps a "spoonfed" step-by-step guide for noobs, like myself, with all/correct files attached and more info on wich kernels/roms are supported. Make a nandroid backup just in case if you're itching to test ;)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] alexx910:
hey man, nice thread here, but unfortunately your plugin just wont work on my kernel (3.0.31).

Could you please provide the xpad.ko file for my kernel or just tell me how to compile correctly? :)

I've searched a lot but hadnt much luck on finding good results -.- :(

I'm still trying to figure out the difference between CM and MIUI ROMS. Read a few articles on the net but couldn't understand much.

I'm using MiniCM and have never used MIUI. I love the themes of MIUI.

Performance wise which is best suited for Xperia X10 Mini?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] x10man:
CM works best. MIUI looks more like an iPhone but is rather buggy on the MP and probably the mini. CM is your best bet

Waiting for a jb rom for touchpad any one knows what time it might take to bring forth one?
[TouchPad General] nickmv:
Pretty much the Golden Rule behind ROM development is to never ever ask for a release date. Those kind of questions annoy the crap outta devs, and it serves no purpose. The devs themselves probably don't know when to expect a release. It all depends on how many issues they have.

Not to be stern, but just telling you that you're not going to get an answer on that question.

Damn you Rent for making me know that number..

Not sure what build you are running, but ICS has been fully working for some time. People REALLY need to stop saying it isn't fully working because a useless camera doesn't turn on (As it is, there is a difference between the *OS* not working, and a piece of hardware not having drivers.. this is the latter). *double facepalm*
[TouchPad General] rohan32:
It will be released when you finish working on it.

C'mon OP, we are all waiting.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] wd5gnr:
Since every Samsung update causes me to lose root, I thought I'd make some notes about what I have to do every time. Then thought, someone else might find it useful so figured I'd post it. Obviously your mileage may vary depending on what you have installed and what you use.

1) Go to SuperUser (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.noshufou.android.su) and tell it to update its binary.

2) Restore init.d hack (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1772616); add init.d files (should have them backed up)

3) Revert to old touch sounds (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1786637)

4) Reinstall AdAway hosts files (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.adaway) Note: as of today, the first host file source appears to be down so uncheck it if the download fails

5) Reinstall Busybox (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.busybox.installer) to get all links in /system/xbin (to do this, you need advanced install or links don't get rebuilt, don't know why)

6) Reinstall System Tuner Pro tweaks (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ccc71.pmw.pro). Note: active tweaks will say they are set to init.d but you need to tell them to go to init.d again so the files are rewritten. Check /etc/init.d for 99pmw* to see what's being set.

7) Add back anything you changed to /system/build.prop or /system/build.local (if interested, I'll post what seems to work for me)

8) If you made build.prop changes that require it, boot to recovery, clear dalvik and maybe cache, and then reboot.

That puts things back to "normal" for me. Hope it helps someone.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] wd5gnr:
Build prop additions. I try not to add too many "magic things" that I don't understand, but some may slip through so feel free to discuss and I'll tweak the list as I learn more. Note: Do not just restore build.prop from a backup since it has your build number etc. in it. What I usually do is backup first, then diff with the new version to see what has changed. If it is just my stuff, I copy/paste just my stuff to the new file (what's what the #aaw tag is for below, so I know where to start!).

Edit:

Find line that says dalvik.vm.dexopt-flags=m=y and add a # to the front of it and add a new line so it looks like this:

#dalvik.vm.dexopt-flags=m=y
dalvik.vm.dexopt-flags=m=y,o=v

I have just upgraded my Note to N7000XXLRK_N7000DBTLRK_DBT

The one thing i have noticed is that the messaging screen looks a bit different, now with grey banners down the side and less of a text box to write in. also the keyboard seems a little more rounded. Is this normal for 4.0.4 not roms, or is this just this rom?

Many thanks

Hello,

I'm completely new to the XPERIA X10, because I have a HTC Sensation.

I've rooted and flashed a custom ROM for a friend on his X10 and now he want to sell it.

That means, I have to go to stock -> unroot & Stock Rom.

But I don't know how I can do that. I know that there is a unroot tool, but how I can come back to Stock ROM, into factory reset?

A detailed description would be great.

Thanks, ~Maik

Salam,

Since I first installed nightly unofficial builds CM9 to my touchpad I am unable to charge the device when powered on in android. All I have to do is to charge it while it is powered off. Any one knows a cure ?
[TouchPad General] sstar:
I have been using nightly for 4 months now and it has always been charged with my touchstone or via the USB using an HP charger. In fact if it is turned off and the attached the either charging source it automatically turns on , so I am not sure why you are having this problem if you're using HP products.
[TouchPad General] colin_404:
Think he said powered off not just sleeping or screen off.
[TouchPad General] sstar:
Yes I am talking powered of and that is either Webos or nightly. It will boot up when I connect to USB power or place it on the touchstone. But I will try turning it of while still connected to a power source and see what does or doesn't happen and edit this post later.

Regards
[TouchPad General] sstar:
Okay as promised I put my tablet on to my touchstone while running nightly and shutdown,

it did not reboot

and after 1 hour I turned it back on and the charge has increased from 52℅ to 75 ℅ percent so if you are using an HP charger I do not know what is going wrong and can only suggest that you clear cache and in advanced clear davlik and reset permissions before reinstalling the latest nightly.

I hope this helps.

Regards

Read your post again and it certainly charges when turned on .
[TouchPad General] xfalcox:
I second this bug.

When I'm on Android and plug in the OFFICIAL CHARGER FROM HP the status bar battery icon shows charging, but the percentage only drops...

This happens specially when the charge is below 50%.

Now I go to WebOS just to charge...

This happens on the nigthlies I've been using since June.

(Sorry for my bad english)
[TouchPad General] abrarshahi:
I will today update to the latest build 14-8-2012, will apply your suggestions and then tell you about the result. I have not found any genuine fix for this problem but hopefully this time it will help.

[TouchPad General] abrarshahi:
problem still there

The problem is still there, no charging while power on on android.
[TouchPad General] chicle_11:
I don't have this problem, but I suggest unistalling android using Acmeunistaller, then reinstalling it again. Read and follow a tutorial for doing this. Do a search and you'll find several good ones here.

Do a backup, just in case.

Good luck.
[TouchPad General] sstar:
I have to agree with chicle_11 that is the only thing left to try. Below is a link to everything you could possibly need with all files named correctly.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=30249437&postcount=624

The only thing slightly out of date is nightly if you DL the latest one just remember to rename it so that it starts update- .

Please let us know how you get on. All the best.
[TouchPad General] cdzo72:
I'm having to think you have a hardware issue because Android actually ALLOWS more charging flexibility.

In webOS if you don't have the original HP AC adapter or the Touchstone your TP will not charge when in webOS.

In Android, if you have no hardware issues, your TP should take a charge from practically any source... mine will even slowly charge from the laptop's USB if I'm transferring files.

So... as chicle and sstar suggested I would reinstall Android... but even before that I would reinstall webOS and get it charging correctly before adding Android back to it

Keep us posted
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dabrain23:
Hey folks,

i am using Oodie's 2.7.6 MIUI rom and the air kernel v4.4. i am experiencing a rather annoying battery drain. the phone has been running ~15h on battery and is at 63%, however I haven't done anything with it except for checking FB once.

The phone is UC and UV (100-880mhz, voltage all down at least 25mv). according to the battery monitor it seems to be "android OS". how can i figure out which process exactly keeps on draining the battery?

push notification is active for three apps (google mail, kakaotalk - sth like whatsapp, facebook).
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 063_XOBX:
37% in 15 hours is roughly 2-3% an hour. You're probably not going to get better battery than that since that adds up to roughly 40 hours of standby which is very good batter life. Android OS is at the top of the list because nothing else is using power (it's a relative statistic).
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chronophase1:
Most definitely. From the looks of it, you barely even used your phone.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dabrain23:
this is exactly my question. the battery drain wasn't this bad before. Even with slight to normal use i could go around 30+ hours without recharging. now the battery is done in the same time without any usage

[Nexus 7 General] ehidle:
So, I've been drooling over the nice features of the Nexus 7: the high resolution IPS panel, the quad core processor, and so on. It looks like a wonderful platform and implementation (all manufacturing issues notwithstanding).

What had been holding me back is the lack of an SD card slot, which seemed like a dumb thing to leave off. Being limited to 8GB of storage, and having to use the "cloud" on the go seemed inconvenient, and could get expensive tethering through my cell phone.

Then, it dawned on me. Since I was tethering through my (rooted, thanks to hack-ace!) HTC Inspire 4G, I could just install a Samba server on the phone, and that would give me the ability to get at my SD cards from the Nexus.

Couple of questions - Samba seems like just one solution. I'd like to know if there are other file sharing solutions that would work over the WLAN. Particularly, I'm interested in either permanently mounting the samba share on the Nexus, or doing something else that makes access to the files on my phone as seamless as possible to the Nexus.

I'd love to hear some ideas from others who have done stuff like this.
[Nexus 7 General] StuMcBill:
I would be interested to see if you have any joy with this!
[Nexus 7 General] yjbeach:
I tether my Nexus 7 to my phone and use Google Drive and DropBox. Both are free. With DropBox if you invite your friends to use it and they sign up you get an extra 0.5 GB of space for each person.

I knew right away that I would get the 16gb version to hold more stuff on when traveling via plane. Also, there are many posts about this issue which is probably why you only have 2 responses.

People beat this topic to death. Return it and get a 16gb it's only $50. If you think $50 is too much divide the $50 by your starbucks coffee your packet of cigs, beer, and just cut back that many and you will have enough saved up.
[Nexus 7 General] Itchiee:
Though not as fancy but... I installed Audiogalaxy on my PC and Tablet and can now access my 10,000+ song collection without having to take up space.

My goal will be to setup a small multimedia server at home with spare parts to stream movies and music.

Please keep us informed on your plans, sounds interesting.
[Nexus 7 General] Andrew025:
The topic of directly accessing files on your phone from your n7 has been beaten to death?

This is probably only the second time I've seen it mentioned.

OP: Download an app called "on air" to your phone and you can access it via ftp. Only problem is you need to have a network to connect to. There might be other apps that allow an ad hoc connection though.
[Nexus 7 General] buton2:
for me the 8 gb is enough i just use the tablet at home to read forums, news, etc... i am not a heave tablet user, i am just lazy to turn the computer on...

maybe for the heavy travel user, 8gb is just not enough..

internet? not problem... rooted 4g lte phone with unlimited dat..i just turn the hot spot on and problem solve...:)

i am happy with the tablet..
[Nexus 7 General] Andrew025:
Found this on another site, could probably substitute the PC step and use AndFTP on your N7 to connect to your phone.

Prep

1. Root phone

2. Install Barnacle Wifi Tether app for Android to create ad-hoc wifi host. I believe it modifies an .ini file to allow for ad-hoc goodness and saves us the trouble of changing it via script or command line.

3. Install SSHDroid app for Android (or use the connection method dejour)

4. Install WinSCP or PuTTy or another connection client for Windows PC

Android Setup

5. Start up Barnacle WiFi Tether, allow SU / root access

6. Go to Settings, slide down to Clients sub-menu and check the box for Local Mode (this turns off your data connection - don't need it for what we are doing)

7. Hit your home key to leave Barnacle WiFi running in the background and to keep that scary a$$ orange cyclops squid in your notification area

8. Start up SSHDroid

9. Go to Options and uncheck Require WiFi, back out of menu one page

10. If SSHDroid service has stopped, bring up the menu again and click Start

PC Setup

11. In your WiFi connection service, connect to the ad-hoc network with the SSID 'barnacle'

12. Start WinSCP

13. In the Session box, under Host name, enter the IP address shown in SSHDroid. SSHDroid will show sftp://root@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, just enter the part after the @ sign.

14. If you are prompted for a user name and password, the defaults are root and admin (recommend changing this, and using secure keys, but that's your call)

15. You'll see a windows explorer or (my preference) windows commander interface on your PC showing the contents of your Android.
[Nexus 7 General] player911:
Just use WiFi explorer. Same thing. WiFi tether your tablet to your phone, then pull up a browser. Super easy and just works.

i must say air droid has been a great experience
[Nexus 7 General] ehidle:
Thanks for all of the suggestions everyone.

I'm most interested in semi-permanently mounting the SD card in my phone via either samba or other protocol, so that the Nexus will just see it as local storage and all of the native apps will treat it as such. Once my Nexus (Nexii, now) show up, I will try a few things and follow up on this thread.

I am sure that once the Nexus is rooted there is a way to samba mount network shares easily.
[Nexus 7 General] ehidle:
Okay, so I have had almost 24 hours to play with my new 7, and have it rooted and unlocked and all that.

I'm able to stream media files from my phone or home server to the tablet, but have yet to figure out how to actually mount a samba filesystem on the tablet so that the native apps will catalog and index their contents, which is the ideal case. I don't want to use Play for my online stuff and another app for Samba served media. I just want to use the native apps for everything. The only way I see to do that is to actually mount the share on the filesystem.

Apparently the stock kernel does not support the CIFS filesystem, so I'll have to find a custom kernel or ROM to load.

Overall though I love the tablet so far :)
