It's not perfect, but the "Android TV Sticks" area might be of interest, more just as a general place to put anything you find?

[About XDA developers] bitpushr:
Similarly, does anyone know if "Google TV" is just an app running on top of Android? I see that the Netgear NeoTV Prime is a Google TV enabled box that allows you to also download "some" apps from the Play store, which makes me think it is Android underneath.

Personally, I would be interested in seeing a forum for Google TV devices, but as far as fitting into XDA it makes more sense if there is actual non-OEM development taking place on them.
[About XDA developers] bajasur:
Google tv is an actual android powered device much like an Apple tv. The box is made by companies like Sony, Vizio, Google and LG.

These boxes turn your tv into a fully functioning android powered device. My Google tv is currently running gingerbread and is awesome.

There is a new Japanese company that just released a ICS Google tv and it should be available in US markets soon.

Rumor is Google will release a jelly bean powered Google tv device sometime this year.

EDIT: this was in response to the question 1 above
[About XDA developers] davekaz:
I just purchased a Netgear neotv on clearance for 42 bucks . My Vizio went south and thought I'd give it a shot. I was able to root it but have no idea what I can put on it. I will get the build and such later. . Thanks for Baja rom on note 3 works great
[About XDA developers] svetius:
We'll add a Android TV forum when we hear about devices shipping. :highfive:
[About XDA developers] bolillo:
well i have gotten some "alternative app stores" installed just to get some apps that i want that dont show up on google play, also a must have app is showbox, it is the reason i also bought the neotv on clearance since trying to run it on the chromecast was a bit of a hassle, also tried installing teamviewer but for some reason it wont let me log in to my account, also if you have some friends that have iDevices i suggest downloading an app called Airtight so you can wow them by letting them stream their content onto your tv and then you can tell them it cost 42 bucks when their apple tv costs more than twice lol, basically that is some of the stuff i have, i hope that with the release of android tv some developers can actually get a port of it to our boxes since modifying honeycomb builds was a hassle and the jellybean update for google tv only came to the lg tv's and their rom was ported to a sony box but it was buggy. For now i am happy i got the last one at my store before they ran out, we will see what the future holds.
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alokjadhav:
Hi Guys,

Every time I use 3G (airtel) I get 3g-usage-notification. Every time i have to press OK, to close this notification. This becomes annoying over a period of time:crying:. Do you know how to stop this? :D

I am using Galaxy 3.
[Galaxy Note II General] iKillCypher:
over the time I did some experiment about the open source hal and samsung blobs :) PaulK And Entropy512 has done an awesome job but it seem like the open source audio is seriously lacking some stuff cause the sound does not sound crispy at all.. I know this isn't completed :crying:

overall they are doing this without samsung or yamaha help at all :( I for once feel samsung has made a great mistake by using Yahama Chip compare to what they use in GS3 And In Note 2

and another issue is that the battery life in Cyanogenmod 10.1 does not meet samsung JB 4.1.2

it is said that Samsung JB Uses more ram thus it is suppose to use more battery but this isnt the case compare to Cyanogenmod 10.1 I really dont know if the developers know about this but if they dont I think this is a good time to highlight them

did the battery fuel reset :good:

Samsung LEAKED JB

3G was On for 3 Hours Battery Remain 100% Without Usage

Cyanogenmod JB 10.1

3G was On for 3 Hours Battery Remain 92% Without Usage

Im hoping and really hoping that Cyanogenmod 10.1 be a good rom compare to Cyanogenmod 9 and 10 and I know the developers have been trying hard to make this come true :P atleast they fix the exploit faster then Samsung

this are two main issue that is using 10.1 to be falling down I hope this get address to the developers and I hope samsung really does something about help the open source developers..

to the mods/admin if there is a need to close this thread please atleast respect my decision and let me know via PM First as I hope one of the Cyanogenmod Developers about SGS2 gets highlight about this issue :(

thank you

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ankurverma:
Hello I'm using 4.2 CM rom on my phone. Is it possible to modify the wpa_spplicant to get it to work on JB CM rom ??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] CalvinL:
So my father recently got the GN2, but he's really disliking the battery drain compared to his old iPhone 4. He said that he could finish the day with about 70% battery leftover, whereas, Note leaves him with around 30-40%. I checked his battery usage and there's about 12-17% coming from Polaris 4.0. I already disabled it, but for some reason, it's still draining his battery. Is there anything I can do to improve his overall battery life as well as stop Polaris from being used?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] michaelatrix:
Uninstall it or is it a stock app?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] CalvinL:
Stock app, unfortunately. I have no intention of rooting it since I haven't done that in a long time and I'm just not confident with messing around with someone else's phone.

Also, I know it's a problem specific to mine since other people don't root there's and they don't have this problem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] CalvinL:
Does anyone else know a possible issue?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Froid:
Try going in and force stopping the app. I noticed apps will continue to run after disabled on occasion. Then reboot and see if it fires up again. That should stop the battery drain. N2 gets great battery life.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mad383Max:
Does your father use the app? If not go to settings/application manager select polaris. You should see a disable or uninstall updates button. If it is the updates one, select it then go back in and hit disable button after it is done. This will remove the app from the system but not the app file itself. Will keep it from ever running again until you decide to enable it again. No root needed.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Froid:
OP stated he has already disabled the app but it continues to run/drain the battery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] CalvinL:
Yeah, I already disabled it. I checked again today and it didn't seem to be draining battery life.

After around 12 hours of use, he only has around 60-65% left. He doesn't use the phone as much as some other people, so I'm surprised it drains as much as it does.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Froid:
I'd say that's about right on stock with everything running. you could always disable everything he doesn't use and see if that helps. Also check for wake locks. I disabled fast dormancy and saw a major improvement on wake locks. Not sure if that's possible without root, but worth looking in to.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mad383Max:
Oops. Missed that.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] silentecho13:
Root, install Better Battery Stats, find the culprit. If uninstalling Polaris doesn't help, it could be something else.

S-Pen detection, motion settings, smart-stay, etc are all drainers. Disable them if he doesn't use them.

Location services drain too. Try installing Autostarts and disable unnecessary startups. I get a good 2-2.5 days out of the phone with ~5+ hours of screen time after doing the above.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] GetPatriotized:
Thanks for the tips. Didn't think about motion and s pen detection.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] CalvinL:
Good point on the S-Pen features. I disabled some. His active battery usage is quite good, but he says the standby is terrible.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Noivern:
Hi!

i been searching on internet about autorun manager and the xperias S/U/Sola.

I had a rooted galaxy 5 and Autorun Manager worked on stock rom and cyanogen mod 7 also. Now i have a xperia Sola (rooted stock ICS .54) and I can't use the advanced mode of the app. I don't know why, but the list of receivers is always empty. I found info about rooted Us and Ss with the same issue (don't know wich android version, i assume ICS), I also tried with "autostarts" app with same results.

The autorun manager isn't requesting root permission on use. BTW only the simple mode works.

Does anybode know something about this?
[HTC One X] yash777:
Hi guys,

I just rooted my phone a few days back and I have flashed about 3 ROMs till now. But the problem is I don't get network on any of them.

I know I am supposed to update the radio but can anyone direct me to a specific radio update. I've tried CM 10 nightlies and Ice Cold Jelly till now.

Thanks
[HTC One X] TToivanen:
Mostly a wipe/factory reset before flashing

solves this kind of problems. Try that and then use getril from store.

[HTC One X] yash777:
I did the wipe/factory reset. I always do before flashing a ROM.

If getRIL does suggest me a radio is it safe to download? If I decide to go back to stock can I go back to the radio for stock?

Yes, it backs up the stock radio. To be sure, do a backup in recovery also.

Hello fisrt of all sorry for my english

I saw the noob video and i will be as brif as i can, also y serch this everywere and nothig.

The thing is: i have 1 old laptop (Compac presario v3000 screen 14.1" screen) it is dead, and a gateway netbook (10.1" screen), i have the idea tu turn the screen of de v3000 and the components of the netbook into a tablet pc. so the first question is it a good idea? or just use all the things of netbook? just to know wich capacitive touch screen buy 14.1 or 10.1, the second problem in my country (Mexico) i can´t find a place where to buy just online un US stores, but the only kit I found is the " Hoda tecnology kit, but it like desaper because everywhere i serch for it´s out of stock, can anyone knows a webpage to buy it?

and the second part that I think is a little harder is the acelerometer, I found a tuto in mydell that can help, but i dont found the material, so is there a way to use the acelerometer of a wiimote or a wiimotionplus accesori? or and old smarthphone acceletometer, and put it in my proyect?

I know i´m a total noob and this are s**pid questions but any help in my little project will be apreciated. Thanks.

BTW, sorry if this post doesnt goes here
[Hardware Hacking General] aa84:
You dont need a accelerometer for a tablet to work. The "tablet" would be bulky. Easier/smarter to sell laptop and buy small tablet. You should install ubuntu on it and learn linux - make a webserver with old laptop. Tablets kinda suck imo.
[Android General] wcypierre:
In this article, I will explain some of the confusions that may occur whilst using grep in logcat, dmesg, kmsg and last_kmsg on different platforms,mainly between Unix(Linux based such as ubuntu, linux mint, fedora, BSD based such as netbsd, freebsd, and even Mac) and Windows(Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 and etc).

Requirements:

Known about the existence of logcat, dmesg, kmsg, and last_kmsg and have tried logging it at least once

Know some basic knowledge of batch/bash(cmd/terminal)

Using Windows OS(The problem only lies on Windows, so if you're using Mac or Linux then you're fine)

Although this is a rather technical article, but I will make it as simple as possible for all of the users to understand :)

Sometimes, I will see some of the developers will issue similar to this:

Log Commands with Grep

So, the problem is?

The problem is that if you're using a Windows OS, Windows OS doesn't have grep installed, so your command would not run and you will see an error message like this:

Linux or Mac users will not have this problem as they have grep installed, so they are fine.

Workaround:

1. Install a Linux shell on Windows

2. Use a terminal app within the Android phone

3. Connect to the linux shell inside the Android Phone by using your computer

4. Use the built-in filters(for logcat ONLY)

Workaround #1

Workaround #2

Workaround #3

Example

Workaround #4

Conclusion:

Hopefully, after reading this article, you will know how to deal with grep when you're on Windows OS :)

Do drop me a question or two if you have something that you don't understand and stay tuned for more articles! :highfive:

[Android General] wcypierre:
I do agree that the last 3 solutions are common but there's still people who doesn't know about it.

But I think that there'll be quite some people who doesn't know about the first workaround though, as it is not covered in most tutorials(unless you're looking at a rom building tutorial on windows), or do you?

Sure thing and thanks in advance :D
[Android General] ravike14:
Found it when I needed the most, the 1st method.. Thanks, simple but a good article :)
[Android General] wcypierre:
You're welcome :) Glad to be of help even though this thread is already at least one year old ;)
[Android General] ravike14:
i found it useful after year hehe....hey for some weird reason the method 1 and 3 fails when it comes to '' dmesg | grep 'xxx' > dmesg.txt '' commad :/ the text comes empty even tho the grep related logs are there in the normal dmesg when i try method 1 using [Msysgit]..when i try the 3rd method it just say read only file system and stops if i choose the output as a .txt file..when i enter 'dmesg | grep 'xxx' without '.txt' it do nothing :/
[Android General] wcypierre:
For the 1st method, there won't be any output as it is redirected to the file 'dmesg.txt'. Or you're indicating that the dmesg.txt file is empty?

For the 3rd one, are you running it on a rooted phone or stock bootloader?

Last but not least, can you give me an example of the command that you had tried for the 1st and 3rd method and a snippet of the dmesg.txt so that I can look into your problem?
[Android General] ravike14:
The dmesg.txt is empty, not even adb daemon text is there.. And yea I'm rooted and s-off.... I tried

For 1st method

adb shell dmesg | grep 'wl127xx' > dmesg.txt

For 3rd i tried

dmesg ¦ grep 'wl127xx'

And

dmesg ¦ grep 'wl127xx' > dmesg.txt

Tried the 3rd method even in Linux shell still a no go the txt is empty it just creates it and that's it.. When I execute the command without 'grep' I get the dmesg logs correctly.. But I really want the grep part lol..
[Android General] wcypierre:
can you copy the text snippet of the dmesg that contains the 'wl127xx' text then? A screenshot or the actual text would do
[Android General] ravike14:
if you mean the normal dmesg text,
[Android General] wcypierre:
From what I've saw, there's only 'wl12xx' instead of 'wl127xx' though(note the missing '7'). Hence, the command should be dmesg | grep 'wl12xx'
[Android General] ravike14:
lol this is embarrassing haha i dont know how i missed that detail, thanks it worked :) i used '' dmesg | grep 'wl12xx' > /sdcard/dmesg.txt '' for method 3 and with adb shell i got it to pc straightly .. haha thanks again :)
[Android General] wcypierre:
You're welcome :) After ruling out a few possibilities, I do feel that its either your grepping is wrong or the dmesg doesn't contains that text, which turns out to be true later on :)

[HTC One S] fatpanda0:
Hey guys,

I am a HTC One S user from India CID - HTC__038. the biggest challenge for all of us is the problem of not having the RUU in order to feel the freedom of using the custom ROM we want. (OK not a lot of options out there!) but I feel it really cripples us a lot not having one. I have been in touch with Football and he say he can get the RUU but at a price.

This is the one he says can get - VILLEC2_U_ICS_40_S_hTC Asia India_2.15.720.150_Radio_16.22.20.03U_16.11.20.24_ M_release

The source is asking for 13 Euros + Paypal charges ~ 15 Euros I guess. Thats roughly a 1000 in INR.

If all of us can get together and pitch in, the cost will be peanuts (atleast compared to what we have paid for this phone). I guess none of us who managed to buy this phone are incapable of coming up with the full amount of the RUU, let alone a fraction of it.

So what say guys. Can we try and get this done. I need approvals and suggestions.

Thanks

[HTC One S] Darknites:
Em I know I give you this idea but maybe wait a bit for a JB one when it comes which also gives you time to sort the money out.
[HTC One S] fatpanda0:
JB update may take ages!

Thanx everyone for the support. But I had contacted HTC a while back and they said the JB will take some time to come out. 1st they need to sort out the bugs in the HOX JB release and then send out the S3 release or some BS like that. In short the lady on the line said do not expect a likely update atleast till next summer if not later. I mean India got the FOTA for 4.0.4 in November, a good 6 or so months after the S4 release worldwide. No point waiting for the JB just now. Also by the time JB is out and a custom ROM is released it will take a year at the least.

Anyways, this is just my 2 cents. Lets c whats the collective response.
[HTC One S] Luuuk11:
I would help you guys but I don't have any money on PayPal, so this is just a small bump for you guys and good luck!
[HTC One S] fatpanda0:
Buying the ROM.

Hey guys. I am being really generous and decided to buy it myself. I will open a paypal account and will be accepting donations into it if anyone wants to. Will post the details once i receive the RUU. Wish me luck that I dont screw it up. :D
