[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Are you wanting to run the "server" part of an htpc like app on your artix2 or just use the atrix2 as a client to connect to say a Linux HTPC / god forbid a Windows media setup, using an app on the atrix2, like mythtv has a client as well as a ton of DLNA "client" apps.

If you want to run the server part on the phone, and connect, and mount an "NFS" like share to the phone, that may be possible using some of the features of android itself, but the whole DLNA like sharing, might be the hurdle to overcome if doing it this way. I am sure an app could very easily be written in Java to handle the serving up the content via DLNA, but that was not what you actually asked about, so.... My question still remains. Which route do you want to go that will determine much of the needed info that can be shared by others.

If you are going to do this on a Linux server what are the limitations of your hardware? like you mention that the ISOs are huge, so is that an issue with disk space on box you want to use, or your DL speed that you are concerned with there?

P.S. I run mythtv as my HTPC on a Linux box at home, and my Atrix2 and other devices have no issues connecting to it even when I am remote, so it can be done this way very easily.

I would use XBMC try the hardware acceleration enabled beta builds and use either ES Explorer or Mount Manager/CIFS Manager for SMB access.
[Motorola Atrix 2] mtnlion:
I personally use a combination of es file explorer and MX player. Plays anything from my network without issue. Avi mkv mp4 whatever. Normally I only use it when traveling and the hotel TV has HDMI but it works equally well for wilan or ftp.

Edit: If you're looking for full control of a htpc try splash top then mirroring the display via HDMI. I have the paid version of splashtop and find it to be amazing when I need my desktop away from home. It will mirror through slim port on my n4 so while I haven't tried it with my A2 I bet it will work. I use this http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004TT0ZDK for a remote control.
[Motorola Atrix 2] lkrasner:
Well, Android is linux, and we have gotten full ubuntu in webtop, so it is possible to run something else, but it would be damn near impossible and not worth the effort.

My advice: go by a raspbery pi for 30 bucks (model B, has ethernet) and use that! It runs full hd video over hdmi perfectly, and you can hook up the a2 with usb or on the network to take files. It will run like any full sized computer and give all the power you need for a few bucks. and you get to learn about linux, so, win, win win!

Best of luck!
[Motorola Atrix 2] PRichardson:
Initial Planning Stages, and Great Ideas to Start Out With...

Wow! This is awesome! (feel like a kid making his Christmas wish list, or just getting killer R&R, after a long tour)... ok...

A minor, but additional benefit (beyond the BIG purpose of helping NOOBs like me, learn more about Linux/Android), is that when/if I'm running over to a hacker meetup/friends house/lab, it's important that 'almost' everything be contained and "ready to go", without saying, "hey, we just need to install XYZ on one of your LAN boxes now, then we can do this". The ONLY thing beyond bringing my kick-your-4ss eLEET 47r1X-11 that should be required in order to impress the 1 female in the room of 20, is the ability to connect to a NFS or Samba/smb share, where videos are stored.

...NOT to worry, I saw someone mention the 'W' at a Def Con, and then suddenly refuse to give his business card to anyone else ;) But, I should mention that I was intentionally baiting folks a bit. I myself have used the full Plex app (android client) to connect via WIFI to a Plex Server (daemon)

YES! This is exactly what I want to do, and some of your posts (yeah, I had to go there), actually inspired me with this idea. In particular, "How to Get FULL UBUNTU and your favorite desktop on A2" seems to be one F-ing awesome starting point. On the other hand, your post regarding the upcoming Ubuntu phone (just hit 'THANKS' for that), it equally high dollar, but I'm impatient ;)

Yup. XBMC and Plex both have apps designed specifically to serve video to an external display, but both require the FULL SERVER installed elsewhere on the same LAN. (The advantage to that being a 'push-button' easy factor, just install the apk -- cool, granted, but just not the direction I'm going with this experiment)

BUSTED! No matter how hard I try Jim, I always feel guilty after reading your replies to me, like "dangit, why didn't I think to search for THAT, instead of those stupid searches I actually DID do". And in a similar way, I'm really sort of 'borderline close' (as usual), to what THE XDA FORUM RULES allow, because I'm not 100% clear yet, on exactly what the final answer (if there is one), might be to these questions, and where I want this to end up, and hoping some DEVs might join the conversation here.

... that's another good point I did not yet consider. I think that a 32Gb MicroSD card should be sort of considered as "the limit". There may be distro's and methods to get the whole thing onto the phone's internal space, but I'd rather partition the SD card and get more power and functionality. Download speed may be a concern for some folks, but I'll just recommend they use a Torrent client (which will auto-check their ISO hashes), or some other DL manager with resume capability.

That's awesome, and I might wind up just falling back to using the Atrix2 with some App that works as a client. But I wanted to at least give it a shot, getting the A2 to be the full media server, and have no other requirement than the ability to stream from a shared network drive over WIFI.

:highfive:
[Motorola Atrix 2] PRichardson:
Thank You!

Thanks for the tip, I might try that if the "Server route" fails.
[Motorola Atrix 2] mtnlion:
My network storage is plugged directly into my wireless router. The only apps I require to watch or download anything from it are on my phone. In fact through es file explorer I can access the contents of my server ,3 desktops, 2 laptops and the network storage.

As you can see I'm using a smb share.

Alternate Solution (Thank You!)

Hi MountainLion!,

Thanks for this great advise. :good: I think this definitely qualifies as a potential FULL [alternative] SOLUTION to the original questions, (including all constraints and caveats). I appreciate the links too, regarding remote access, perhaps worth a separate discussion thread.

(I will update the OP, with qualified alternate solutions, we this discussion continues)

[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Now we are talking here!

Yes if you want to do this as a sever with mythtv, or another sever like app like xbmc, you need to be on GB and use my ubuntu hack as a start. you might be able to get every needed part working, but there might be parts thst are not compiled for arm, as well.

Here is THE place to start once you have my ubuntu hack working in webtop:

http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/MythTV-HOWTO_-_0.26

XBMC has a similar guide on their site, but you might have issues with needed pkgs that are not compiled for arm... so... that might derail you for one or the other. I say give it a shot the worst that could happen is that it does not work, then all you lost was time and probably learned something, in the process.
[Motorola Atrix 2] lkrasner:
This is hilarious seeing you two reunited here. it's like 2 kids that haven't seen each other in years meeting again in a candy shop....... accept it's two adult nerds on a development forum.

Raspberry Pi

Hey Krasner!

Good to see you around man. I appreciate all the help I can get too (I need it!). Last year I had a kid show me a lunch box with BackTrack 5r3 on it, and I was very impressed. Scroll down and check the right column (Date Added), of this Amazon "Wish List" (just how I track things I'm interested in, on that site), and you'll see some of the goodies I found back in mid-February.

Update: I just saw your last post ---- ROFLOL. (yeah, I guess I still get a slight pulse raise over techie stuff!)

Thanks again!,

:victory:
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Should, do can be deadly.... LOL the issue is not with xbmc itself, it is weather the required packages are in the ubuntu arm webtop repo, that is the issue to check, seeing as no one has tried it in webtop yet.

LOL... you know you are as nerdy as the rest of us, lkrasner. :)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Soldier 2.0:
Everyone knows our device uses a LOT of battery when it displays white backgrounds. I would like to know which ROM is the darkest, most blacked out? I would like recommendations for a 4.2.2 version that also has GApps inverted as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cupfulloflol:
Most ROMs stick close to stock theme wise, and rely on themed GApps + theme chooser to get the options folks want done. There is also the TRDS option that Slim made that has been kanged into a few other ROMs. So there is no real reason to limit yourself to the few pre-themed ROMs available, although there is nothing wrong with choosing one that is.

Black screen after apps configured

Hello,

I am able to flash the installer and everything fine but when the phone reboots it says 'Optimizing app xx of xxx' and once that is complete all I get is a black screen with the status bar showing the time, battery life, and network connection (not connected). I realized that I can go into settings and (eventually) the app menu but the phone reboots after a minute or two and moreover the network never connects nor does the wifi.

This seems to happen no matter what radio I choose and whether I do wifi-fix and/or build.prop edits.

I am using a Tmobile phone in Australia if that helps and I am running Maximus HD ROM. Everything is rooted, s-off, supercid, etc.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Ashish.akc:
What's needed:

USB data cable

MediaTek USB VCOM drivers

SP Flash Tool ( Latest version SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1224.01)

First of all, make sure that you have MediaTek DA USB VCOM drivers installed.

Flashing the whole ROM​

First of all open SP Flash Tool, then click Scatter-loading button to load the correct scatter file

(MT6575_Android_scatter_emmc.txt or MT6577_Android_scatter_emmc.txt, depending on which phone you have) for your device and ignore any message that may appear.

Turn off your phone, remove the battery and replace it after some seconds (and don't turn on the phone).

Press F9 (or hit Download button) and connect your phone into the computer via USB data cable.

The process will start and a red progress bar will appear.

After the red progress bar is complete, there will appear a purple progress bar.

Right after the purple progress bar is complete, a message will appear underneath it:

“Please insert USB cable in x seconds” and then the download will start right away (you will see the yellow progress bar filling up).

When the yellow bar is complete, you'll get a popup with a green circle and Download OK message,

which means that the process has been successfully terminated.

You can now safely disconnect your phone and turn it on. The process ends here.

Flashing only part of the ROM​

In case you want to flash just one part of the ROM, that is also possible. In the shown example, only recovery image will be flashed.

Deselect all parts except the one(s) you want to flash and then press F9 (or hit Download button).

The tool will immediately show a warning because not all parts are selected, but you should continue anyway. Safely press Yes to continue.

The download of the chosen partition image will start and after the yellow bar is complete, the popup with the green circle should appear.

Please note that, even though it isn't mandatory to select it on the list of images to flash,

preloader file must be present in the same folder as the other partition(s) that you want to flash, or else phone will not be able to enter into download mode.

Attention: Please follow the instructions carefully. I will not take any responsibility on whatever may happen with your phone.

Very important warning: Always make sure that you trust the sources of the ROM you download and know that it is meant for your phone.

After flashing a wrong preloader, your phone will be completely dead (can't be powered on, it will not charge and won't be detected anymore by the computer) and there is no way to recover it.

Latest HTC Drivers

Latest HTC Drivers extracted from HTC Sync v3.3.21 and HTC Sync Manager v2.0.61.0

Latest Driver Version (HTC Sync): 4.0.1.001

Latest Driver Version (HTC Sync Manager): 4.2.0.001

BMP Drivers are the same for both sets of drivers.

For those who don't want to have to download 120 some MB of bloatware called HTC Sync ;)

MD5 CHECKSUMS

Sometimes downloading from the internet can yield a corrupt download. To prevent this, make sure you always check the md5 checksum (also known as "md5sum") of the file. This method verifies the

digital integrity

of the file by verifying its digital signature with the MD5 algorithm.

After you download each file, make sure to check that the md5sum matches what is given.

How to check the md5sum of a file:

Windows:

For windows you need to download the md5sum binary. I recommend the one from my dev-host.

After that, copy the file you're trying to verify to the directory where where you downloaded the "md5sum.exe"

Once that is finished, do SHIFT+RIGHT CLICK (inside the folder window) and choose "Open command window here"

Then type the following ("fileNameHere" must include the extension):

md5sum fileNameHere

That will output a hash, which you can compare to the ones above.

Linux: No need to download anything, md5sum binaries are included in all distros, as far as I know.

Open a terminal and type the following ("fileNameHere" must include the extension):

$ cd path/to/download/folder
$ md5sum fileNameHere

Two important notes:

This method can be used with any files you download, as long as the download site (or the dev themself) provides the correct md5sum.

If any of the digits do not match

exactly

, you need to download the file again.

[HTC One X] CNexus:
Updated Drivers to version 4.1.0.001.

Two important note, from here on out I will also be including fast links for the Sync setup files (HTC Sync and Sync Manager), as well as a SyncManager_XXXXX_STRIPPED.exe which will literally be ONLY the Sync Manager program, all drivers stripped out from it (as in, it won't install any drivers, hence a much smaller file size).

You will now be able to find the FULL setup files for HTC Sync and Sync Manager inside the Original HTC Sync Folder of the linked mediafire folder in the OP. This will provide a much faster download if you do want to install either one, rather than a capped speed download from the HTC site itself.

Well here's the changelog

HTCDriver_4.1.0.001.msi

HTCDriver_4.1.0.001.exe
