[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mandeville:
Hi everyone,

Thanks for all the ideas, my aim is to watch on my tablet what I can watch on my smart TV but in an other room e.g. if I am watching DVD on my TV my partner can see it the same from the bedroom as well. Basically like a second screen with the same program on it.:)

I hope that is give some extra help.

I think the same like if I watch my dreambox on the TV and I can see the same channel on my PC that kind of stuff what I want to achieved if it is possible but with my Nexus 7. Any idea...

:good:

Thanks guys

How did you manage to install Samsung remote on your nexus ? When I try to install it:

I used Samsung Remote from Google Play store on my Samsung S Advance, but it doesn't work on my Nexus 7.

There is also Samsung Remote Tab... for tablets... doesn't work either. I don't know why ...

I'm interested in a solution.

Does anyone know of an app that would make other apps detect the touchpads as hardware buttons? Specifically, I want to be able to bind down and up on them to R2/L2 R3/L3 for FPse. I know of Gamekeyboard and Joystick Center, but I don't think either of them can do this.

Or what do you guys do for R2/L2 besides the obvious volume buttons? I have it like that now, but it's pretty uncomfortable.

[General Questions and Answers] omniscian:
Hi,

New user so sorry if I'm asking in the wrong place.

I recently bought a car which came with an aftermarket DVD/GPS multimedia system. It has bluetooth and syncs with my iPhone. It's currently running a version of Windows CE.

The system can be found at: w w w.autodvdgps. com/20082010-ford-focus-dvd-gps-navigation-player-with-digital-touchscreen-and-piprdsbluetooth-p-889. html

My question is, would it be possible to install Android on this as I've seen in a few YouTube videos? If so, how would I go about doing this?

Also, the mapping software on the system isn't the best and is a bit out of date. Is there a version of TomTom or something for Windows CE? It also boots straight into the interface shown on the link above, so how would I get back to the Windows CE interface in order to install software?

Thanks for any assistance,

Ian

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomen94:
Hi mates..

Does anyone know when android 4.2 will be released for our gs3? Samsung says it wont be updated till q1 of next year.. is there any possibility to make a alpha/beta rom earlier than samsung releases source code?

Thanks and sorry for stupid quest.. :D
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sukulankur:
I dont think they will release 4.2..frankly speaking. Very few feature can be implemented I think. Or at least, they can be implemented but samsung will hate to implement them.

short 4.2 feature list:

1) Settings toggles in notification panel -- Samsung already has that. Also, according to me it is a better implementation. Google's 2 finger swype looks unnecessary. With samsung, its right there :D

2) Camera app. -- hands down the most futuristic looking camera app from google. Functional, Fast, and featurewise not better than Samsungs. For such a lengthy camera feature list, that Samsung really does have, The pictogramm view that we have now...is not necessarily bad. I would like to see google camra officially customised from Samsung. But I do not think it is in Samsungs "interesting-feature" list.

3) Multitasking. -- nothing to say there :D

4) In built Editing options in gallery. Samsung has a edit app that sort of interacts with the gallery app.

5) Sphere: nothing to say there :D

That was it..or?

I think they will bring these updates with the next big android update to S3...so probably Android 5 (Kandy Kane?). But they will not be in a hurry with 4.2

Hi cajl!

Got no idea right now... but you may do us a favor to find the Gen10 keys and extract firmware files first.

Assuming you got a Gen10 device and MicroSD card inserted.

From your ADB console could you please type the following:

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/mnt/sdcard/first-64k.bin bs=512 count=128

Please post the resulting file here and i'll try to extract the keys for Gen10 and update the well known aos-tools.

[Gen10 Android Development] cajl:
Thanks but when i use this command , adb say : cannot open for read !
[Gen10 Android Development] scholbert:
Hi cajl!

Mmmmh... that's worse.

So they restricted the block devices for user access.

Guess we'll need a temporary root first.

We all used the 1 and 2 binaries for Gen9 without any research.

These had been developed by Paul O'Brien and AFAIK we have no further details about the procedure.

I guess he's using a bug in the kernel or similar to inject some code and get root permission.

See original thread again:

http://www.modaco.com/topic/347305-archos-80-g9-root-phase-1/

This would be the way for Gen10 then as well.

Did anyone try if it works for Gen10?

Might be little risky though, because we got no background of what the binaries do exactely.

Anyway if we got temporary root first we could read first blocks form eMMC.

Then it would be easier to examine the parts of bootcode and look for similarites with Gen9.

As a second step we would need a procedure to flash unofficial SDE to the device.

Would give us the same comfort as on the Gen9 then.

I'll do a little research about Paul's rooting method, maybe it could be used for Gen10 without any mod.

If anyone got some insights on this, feel free to post it here :D

Regards,

scholbert
[Gen10 Android Development] cajl:
i just use this Paul's method...
[Gen10 Android Development] cajl:
The adb Shell say "ROOT" !

and the DD command say

128 +0 records in

128+ 0 records out

65536 bytes transferred

how send the file

but with the root the tablet running slowly

it use the command "adb shell rm /data/local.prop" for delete the root !
[Gen10 Android Development] scholbert:
...wow...cooool

Hey cajl,

seems that you were brave enough to try :victory:

Very cool!!!

That's awesome.

So basically Paul's method works for the Gen10 as well.

O.K., very nice!

So now you got a file first-64k.bin on your Micro-SD right?

Copy the file to your Host PC... by using adb or take out the card.

Zip that file and post it here.

I'll then try to extract the key.

If the key structure is similar to Gen9, then maybe tomorrow i'll try to tweak aos-tools to handle Gen10 files.

We could get some more insights then...

O.K., so there's some side effect.

Should be hopefully gone after reboot...

Please report!

Good luck!

[Gen10 Android Development] cajl:
the file i ok

after reboot the "slowly" is the same

i remove the root and it is ok

Thanks a lot... as i said, i'll start investigating this weekend.

My time is limited these days ;)

EDIT:

Key section has the same structure as Gen9!

Let's go for Gen10 :D

Glad to hear that.

So there's some side effect. Remember the sound and restart issues on Gen9 wiht the root hack.

I guess it's similar here, but little different indeed :o

Cheers,

[Gen10 Android Development] cajl:
Thanks of all !
[Gen10 Android Development] scholbert:
Appreciated...

Just built the keys header file. I'll publish them, if i got it verified with the tools.

Ready to get implemented to aos-tools. Maybe i'll try tonight.

As soon as we could extract the firmware files we might hover to the next step.

I guess we need someone to build custom SDE for Gen10.

EDIT:

Just a few words...

Maybe letama again is the right person to ask for this task.

AFAIK the 1st stage loader on Gen10 is quite similar to Gen9.

Assuming they also kept their security checks on the rawfs section equal to the Gen9 tablets, we're fine.

If not, it would be much harder to activate SDE menu for the Gen10.

In fact it's a little to early for speculations...

EDIT2:

O.K. i could not wait till tonight... so i just put it all together ;)

[Gen10 Android Development] letama:
Hi Guys,

Having fun ? :)

Scholbert, your next step is to verify that sde menu still exists in recovery cpio.

If it does and it works like before, enabling it is only a matter of flashing a sde kernel. To do that, grab abcbox from firmware, extract zImage and cpio, then do on tablet:

abcbox kd_flasher -k my_zimage -i mycpio

It should enable sde menu.

Forgot one thing: kd_flasher should be launched as root... You need to temp root it, flash, remove temp root.
[Gen10 Android Development] scholbert:
possible rooting method...

Hi cajl,

just extracted Gen10 firmware and had a look into the recovery.cpio.

The SDE menu is already included as we know it from the Gen9 already.

Though i don't know what letama did exactly within his custom SDE hack for Gen9, here's my theory:

1. extract Gen10 firmware with my latest aos-tool package

2. split init (stock kernel+initramfs.cpio.lzo)

3. extract initramfs.cpio.lzo and tweak it like we always do for having root access

4. build custom kernel with default config for Gen10 (alternatively use stock kernel)

5. use Paul's temporary root exploit (this might be still little dangerous. as being reported by cajl the tablet is getting slow, but it will give root)

6. umount rawfs partition

7. use kd_flasher to write custom kernel and tweaked initramfs.cpio.lzo (should create a file named custom inside rawfs partition)

8. remove temporary root

9. reboot (check if everything is still fine)

10. reboot again and hold down volume key (if there is one on Gen10)

11. check for SDE menu

Need some confirmation from the cracks here.

So letama, surdu, trevd join in if you like :angel:

EDIT:

Uuups, just saw that letama joined in while i wrote these sentences.

O.K. seems to be alright. Running out of time though...

I'll come back!

Regards,

scholbert
[Gen10 Android Development] cajl:
OK Letama !

Thanks.
[Gen10 Android Development] letama:
That's what I call simultaneous post! :)

Basically your method is ok. I'd do two steps to avoid doing too much work for nothing, first enable sde, you don't need to tweak cpio, any kernel +cpio would do the trick. After verifying that sde is indeed working, tweak cpio as usual...

Last, you don't have to umount rawfs, it's mounted read only afaik and kd_flasher is fine with it mounted.
[Gen10 Android Development] scholbert:
O.k. just grabbed the files from latest firmware.

Without any warranty though.

Took the init file (kernel+initramfs), removed the header and searched for the begining of the initramfs.cpio.lzo by using a hex-editor.

Then splitted stock kernel and initramfs.

So in fact a little bit quick and dirty, but should be o.k.

use abcbox kd_flasher -k zImage -i initramfs.cpio.lzo

It's up to you if you want to try. I take no responsibility for bricks at this early point...

In fact we got it merely together. Please developers confirm, that the files are intact.

I'm definitely on my way now... see ya tomorrow :fingers-crossed:

NOTE:

These files will not root your device but should enable SDE recovery menu on Gen10.

Use at your own risk!

Good luck!

scholbert
[Gen10 Android Development] cajl:
How use this ?

abcbox kd_flasher -k zImage -i initramfs.cpio.lzo

i working on w7 64bits
[Gen10 Android Development] letama:
If adb is enabled and working, do this:

1) unzip all the files in the directory where adb is

2) do this:

adb push zImage /data/local/tmp

adb push initramfs.cpio.lzo /data/local/tmp

adb push abcbox /data/local/tmp

adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/abcbox

adb shell /data/local/tmp/abcbox kd_flasher -k /data/local/tmp/zImage -i /data/local/tmp/initramfs.cpio.lzo

If last command goes well, you should have sde enabled, check in recovery if menu is there...

Hum, thinking of it, I think remembering that it should be more like: "updating KD... done!", long time I didn't use it so I'm not so sure.

Cajl, you're not root on your tablet, that's probably why it failed. You should temp root it before doing the adb commands.
[Gen10 Android Development] scholbert:
Yeah i guess your right... but strange that there's no error message from kd_flasher.

2-adb commands

3-results ?

Results if I'm remembering well is something like "Updating KD... done!" or "Updating KD... ok!"

You can then remove temp root with:

adb shell rm /data/local.prop
[Gen10 Android Development] cajl:
See the result

i use this command "adb shell rm /data/local.prop "

the root is removed - tablet not runing slowly but the screentouch is bad (after reboot).

Hi,

glad to see it's working. It's all about getting root permissions the first time ;)

Next task will be, to create some customized files (slightly tweaked initramfs) for SDE part and ext4 r/w with latest busybox and su included.

It would be just the way surdu does it for the Gen9.

I got no Gen10 at hand and i doubt that i'll find some time to do it this weekend,

but should be pretty basic stuff if you got a linux machine.

Maybe you should just ask surdu if he might help out.

Would be nice to write down all the necessary steps for enabling SDE in the first post.
