For that you can use the root66 roms found on the top of the thread with all the OTAs.

I've never used them though, so I suggest you read more before trying it.

I also failed to update OTA, offline using the OTA update zip and CWM recovery. I even did a factory reset and it still failed with some system verification problem in EMMC (see previous post). I tried apps to unroot as well as using Odin to reflash stock and lock the recovery. Nothing worked and I got exact the same error message. Very frustrating. What finally helped was the root66 rom that I had to use Odin to flash. The nice thing about this rom is that it keeps all your data intact. I put the phone in download mode, connected it to Odin and load the root66 rom in PDA option and clicked on Start. Thanks
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] l0uisz:
okay guys so finally was able to install the OTA update i had to DL the " root66_TMO_T999UVALJ4.7z " tar file which is basically the ota pre rooted already and flashed via ODIN :good: so im all set to go! :D:D

btw it does reset the counter to ZERO however when you go to " ABOUT DEVICE -> STATUS -> " and scroll down the device status still shows MODIFIED so....lol it'll still let them know you messed around with it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] dmarco:
You can't use CWM recovery to receive OTA updates, you must revert to stock.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
It says modified either becsuse you're still rooted and/or have a custom recovery. If youre going to send the phone back you need to odin flash the stock fw, not root66. When back on stock the modified status will go away.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] shane1diamond:
I successfully restored stock recovery and successfully received the ota update. However I tried to reflash cwm

It allows be to boot into cwm recovery immediately after flashing it via Odin. But once I try to reboot into cwm recovery a second time. It boots into stock recovery.?? Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] borbitz:
You can't let the phone reboot after flashing CWM, you have to take the battery out, and when you put it back on go straight into recovery and flash SuperSU or superuser. If you let the phone reboot before flashing it SU it will reinstall stock recovery.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] shane1diamond:
I have done all of these steps except deleting those files you mentioned. Ill try that. Thanks

---------- Post added at 06:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:16 PM ----------

Ill try doing this too. Thanks
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] l0uisz:
lol no i KNOW that he was stating that but rooting then using triangle away would reset the flash counter back to zero and no one would know your device was ever modified.....when in fact if they go into settings they'll see device modified.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
If you odin flash the stock firmwarre, unmodified, not root66 the status should go back to normal. So no one would be able to use that to tell. The 'Status' shows the current status of the system, not the history of it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] AB33:
This update sucks IMO. I get double text messages now and my phone doesn't dial right away when I select a contact.

Stock ROM unrooted
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
You're the first I've seen to report any problems like that, so I doubt its the update.

I suggest you backup all of your data, including the internal sdcard, then factory reset from Settings > Backup & Reset.

Test it out and if you are still having problems, use Odin to flash the latest stock firmware.

If it still has problems then you should contact Samsung or Tmobile to see about getting a replacement because the phone is probably defective.

You can find the firmware and instructions for Odin here:

By the way...

Here's a problem: I updated to T999UVLJ4 last month via kies, and a few days after, was informed of a oat update from tmo. Turned out to be the same T999UVLJ4 kies had. I was kicked back to the previous update (forgot which one). Thankfully, I'm back on T999UVLJ4. Just flashed the fw.

And one question. How do I stop my phone from notifying me of otas? Just temp.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
If you are currently on the latest build, UVALJ4 and its prompting to update or postpone, you should be able to let it attempt the update. It will fail and won't bug you again until the next release.

You can also try to disable Software Update through app management.

Update! Got it working with Bluez IME:

1. Download Bluez IME off the Google Play Store and then the addon for iCade off of Google Code (located in info on app description)

2. Turn on Bluetooth and pair the controller.

3. Make sure input method is Bluez IME as SteppingSplash stated.

4. Select Device Driver as iCade (HID).

5. Now at this point, the controller should be good to go. It should be paired and connected with BluezIME. Just reconfigure the buttons again in the app (apparantly unknown buttons?) and make sure you enable special controllers in "other settings."

So far, tested and works with NESoid and Gensoid.

P.S. It seems to be testy when configuring. If you keep getting an error message about not connected, turn off bluetooth and try again. I hope all of this helps everyone with this controller.

Hi guys,

Just got the new iCade 8-bitty bluetooth controller from ThinkGeek. I'm not too happy with it so far. I am having massive problems trying to connect it to use with my devices/programs.

NESoid, SNESoid, GBAoid, Gearoid, Gensoid, Atarioid all do not work.

Mame4all is the only program on Android that works with it.

Supposedly, if you use the Android App Bluez IME, it will allow the controller to work, but I have had only minimal results with this. Many buttons do not work because I believe there is no driver for it installed. I thought I downloaded it and installed it, but I haven't been having good luck with it yet.

Windows refuses to connect the controller. Tried many different options. Refuses to connect.

Anybody smarter have better results with it than me? It seems to be truly for the ugh, BARF, Apple devices....
[Nexus 7 Accessories] SteppingSplash:
Do you have the input method box checked in your emulators? In the emulator, menu button>settings>other settings>"Use input method". That'll let you use a Bluetooth controller with the emulator.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] beowolfschaefer:
Same problem here on Transformer Infinity. The weird part is that Snesoid will detect the key presses when I am in the key mapping settings section but then won't detect them in game at least not reliably. I found that if I hit a button furiously for a few seconds it might detect one key press. Oh I also tested with my Xoom and saw the same issues.

Oh and yes I have tried with the 'input method' both enabled and disabled and saw no changes.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] danmanx:
Me too to the input method change...seems to just be "locked" out.

Same problem. You start to mash keys and it does detect one press. Hard to play Sonic the Hedgehog with only 1 input action per 10 seconds...

Well, I guess I should've not bought this. I'm going to return it if I can.

Yes I know Why does the key mappings screen work PERFECTLY in those emulators and in-game, no inputs????
[Nexus 7 Accessories] orate.cl:
Hey man, here in France the 8-bitty its really expensive! you still having problems?

I mainly want it for emulators, like snesoid.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] danmanx:
Ok, after a few weeks I can tell you after setting up, the retro controller works great. Snesoid and the others work fine. (With BluezIME)

Still though, if you are worried over money, and if you have one lying around. get a Wiimote Controller w/ the Classic controller attached to it.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] orate.cl:
Excellent! it is really hard? will you post a guide?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] tony47666:
8bitty configuration

I tried your tutorial with my Nexus 7 but when I try mapping the buttons it says unknown in every emulators... How did you manage to map them properly ? In BluezIme it seems that the mapping is made for an icade stick controller... Thanks for the support !
[Nexus 7 Accessories] orate.cl:
Guys, I'm not buying this till I recieve from you 100% confirmation it's not a wasted buy. Otherwise I'm waiting. It's 65 bucks in France, SUPER EXPENSIVE!
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Cpt. Wolf:
I can confirm that this works 100% with Nesoid, GBCoid, Ataroid, Gameboid, Snes9x EX, Frodo C64, and MAME4droid on my Acer a500. I'm copying files right now, but FPse appears to have set up correctly as well. (Minus a few buttons of course) I'm working on Dosbox too, but it's being very cranky. The controller has a nice response time from what I've observed.

For people still having problems, this may be a solution:

1. Go into Bluez's setup

2. Click "Select IME" (Even if you've already set Bluez as your input method through the normal android keyboard and input settings)

3. Select "Bluez IME"

This was the problem I was having. I'd set Bluez IME as my input device within Android's settings. I had followed Dan's instructions, done everything he'd said, but it was still registering wxad key presses. When I went through Bluez's settings, I checked the IME selection and found that it was still set to English Android Keyboard. After setting that one to Bluez IME as well, everything started working as it should.

Thanks Dan for figuring this stuff out. I'm going to pass this thread on to ThinkGeek if you don't mind. I'm positive there are people looking to buy this who would benefit from the answers here.

Some emulators that work for 8-bitty without Bluez IME

I know that this thread is specifically for Android and thanks to the OP, I was able to get this working on my Droid X, but I was wondering if there was any way to get this working with Ubuntu?

[Nexus 7 Accessories] gypsysnail:
I just recently got one of these icade controllers too, and am having the same problem. I use an android based Samsung galaxy II, and I have both dosbox and Frodo (commodore 64) emulators on my phone with my games on them, and mame too but no roms for the mame ones yet. Ok, I had set up the bluetooth for the icade but still would not work on the Frodo one. Does anyone have any ideas for the Frodo one, how can this be set up properly? I am not an expert, but sort of basic to intermediate with these emulators, so this has baffled me. I am getting my ipad in a few weeks time, thinking I should wait til the ipad to use the icade, but would like to try further on my android phone. As for mame, not sure how to find the roms as the ones I had originally for ColecoVision console, I have absolutely NO experience in converting them to the pc so how do I get roms safely from others?

Can't get Bluez IME to recognize controller

Hi, is there anything I need to do with the nexus 7 or Bluez IME to get it to see my 8-bitty controller?

I turned the controller on and went into Bluez IME but when it scans for devices it never finds the controller.

Hello there !

First of all, Excuse me if I do not express myself well, english is not my first language.

So I've bought the 8-bitty, and I have some problems with it. I've try it with mame4droid and SNES. At first, I've tried without installing Bluez IME, but I encountered some issues. For exemple, in the game, directions were wrong, my character was always going on the left, but the other directions where working (for the few I've tried), So it was not possible to play correctly. One time all was going well, I've played Street fighter II on SNES, and Metal Slug II on Mame4droid, all was ok. But the next day, the problems began again...

So I've installed Bluez IME, and wow, it's working in SNES ! But for Mame4droid, not working :( In the app, I can configure the buttons, all working great, but in game, no one respond... I really don't know what to do, and I find nowhere informations...

So if one of you can help me, it will be really nice :)

Thanks in advance ! (and I hope that my message will be understandable :) )

[edit]

Hello again !

I finally find a solution for my problem :) I use Bluez IME, but in the settingsof Mame4droid, I set "default" in external controller, instead of Icade, and now it seems to work perfectly :)
[Nexus 7 Accessories] TheGeek007:
Forgive me for the forum necromancy, but this is the only thread that mentions the Nexus 7 and the 8-Bitty.

Its well known that in Android 4.2, they changed the Bluetooth stack. As a result, BluezIME and Wiimote connection apps were broken, possibly permanently.

I own the 2013 Nexus 7, and am stuck with 4.3. Is there ANYBODY out there who has gotten the 8-Bitty to work with any app on 4.3?

If not, can anyone recommend a gamepad that will work on 4.3 reasonably well?

Maybe try on the 2013 Nexus 7 forum?

I trying to setup a media server or my Linux Mint machine so I can use vlc to access the files.

This can be done many ways but I need help doing SMB with solid explorer. I don't even know what SMB means... But I read that that is the way to do it. Or what's the best option.... I'm running the newest neon vlc and it says something about network mrl but I am clueless.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] slimdizzy:
Forget SMB. DLNA is best. Plexapp for the server and use BubbleUPNP with VLC or MX or VPlayer (which also has DLNA browser built in). Or BubbleUPNP Server.

Should be able to apt-get install plex if I remember correctly.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] fldc:
I'm using xbmc:s builtin dlna/upnp-server from my htpc and also bubbleupnp-server as a proxy for when I want to access this content from over the Internet, and then bubbleupnp and dice player as a client (only one working with dts) , works very well indeed. But if you still want to do it this way, samba is what you want to install and configure on the server end:)

They are both the same brightness to me. I'm on the latest xxalj3 rom.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TML1504:
this effect could be due to the manufacturing process regarding amoled screens.

search for my last posts, i explained it in detail!

in short: if you put 10 devices one beneath each other you will notice that screen

quality differs by a massive amount. some screens look dull and washed out, some

are brilliant, some have yellow tint, some have blue tint, some have one side (bottom,

top, left right) darker or brighter, ....

even gammatest.png shows big differences although all phones have the exactly same

settings!!

usually you wont notice this if you do not compare a few devices, but if you have seen

this differences you start to hunt for a good one: i switched through more then 10 (!)

note-1 before i found a device with a perfect screen (in total 3 were "good", the rest

had massive flaws as tint, sub-pixel fault etc)! with the note-2 i'm on my 4th device now

and i'm still not satisfied. my actual screen has slightly washed out colors compared to

the ones before...
