Bluetooth?

Thanks for this! any thoughts given to Bluetooth support for USB dongles?:D
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Perseus:
Well, the stick does not have Bluetooth hardware antenna. So I don't know if its going to work. Having said that, when I tried a usb bluetooth stick, it seemed to work fine for me.

Google Play not registering the device

Good morning, Thank you for the ROM. Is google play not working? I cannot download any apps from device and play online via PC does not see the device.

"You haven't accessed the Google Play Store app (the white shopping bag app icon) on your device with this email account. Learn more."

Tried a Gapp zip update and still a nogo. Thanks for your help.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Perseus:
Its been working fine for me. Can you do factory Reset and then proceed with the Initial setup wizard ? Try Play immediately afterwards. Make sure your internet access is working fine before you try.

Please don't try flashing Gapps before you try.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] darksoul21:
Reflashed instead, did not get the "random error #" and it works now. Thanks again.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Perseus:
Best way to thank me is to press that Thanks Button on my post(s). Glad to have helped.

Xbox 360 Controller

Registered just to show my thanks, and yes I clicked thanks on your posts. One request though. I would love to use this thingy as an emulator with a USB controller. Is this inordinately complex or can I dare to dream?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Perseus:
Thanks for the kind words. They mean a GREAT deal to me.

I won't say inordinately complex. But depends on what you are looking for. For ex. If you are looking for Playstation Mobile, Device Authorization Library is included so all you need is the APK. Link to that is in the OP.

Govenors

Which Governor can be used to over clock the device?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Perseus:
You can use either OnDemand or Performance. People tend to prefer OnDemand. The best one is Nightmare if it is stable enough for you.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] mrl0n3ly714:
i want to overclock this stick with ur room. is that possible ? i downloaded setcpu and try to set to performance but still i couldnt set max cpu or anything else, i wonder if this work or not.

What do i need ?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Perseus:
Have you tried SetCPU with my rom installed ? If so, please post the exact error message.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] mrl0n3ly714:
i cant adjust the max CPU Mhz, and minimum, both are 0.

I change the setting to performance and reboot.

How do i know its working and overclock ?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Perseus:
You have not answered my question. If you don't have the rom, I can't help without knowing your setup.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] mrl0n3ly714:
lol i have ur rom installed.

can you use setcpu to set anything with ur own rom ?

since the kernal is stock i wonder if it even possible to overclock ?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Perseus:
Although I don't like the way SetCPU is coded, I guess it serves a purpose to some. That app has been written primarily for Allwinner and Samsung chipsets. Given the Smartstick has an AMLOGIC processor, the app may not work. You may want to ask SetCPU's Developer about that. Here's the thread if you wish.

Even though the kernel is stock, I believe, it will allow frequncy juggling and especially hotplugging.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] mrl0n3ly714:
So how do I over clock this ROM ?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Perseus:
As I said, Please ask on the SETCPU Forum for AMLOGIC Support.

Just out of curiosity. What is the need for Overclocking ?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] mrl0n3ly714:
im trying to play streaming xmbc hw decoder internal player 720p but impossible, so lag.

it was playing fine with external player hw decode like mplayer ...but not internal player hw decode

i wonder if our compatible with xbmc hw decode ?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Perseus:
There is a known issue of XBMC not correctly supporting Amlogic

Platform.

Please hit thanks if you find this useful.

modded version of XBMC for android that uses MX player to play video's from XBMC with hardware decode. the XAF builds work great for me.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] a7t7d:
Except that the version of MX player that comes with this rom the hardware decode isn't working right on 1080p. The internal movie player handles 1080p files fine.

Is the version of XBMC that comes on this rom the modded version or the stock market version?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Perseus:
The MX Player version I included in the rom is outdated by now so you should have an update prompted by Google Play. As to XBMC, I hadn't included the source.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] a7t7d:
Ah, now everything shows up in Play - I wasn't seeing any available updates earlier. You might want to add to your op instructions that people need to completely reboot after first config. The play store is a bit wonky until you do - and I think it has caused some confusion in other posts. For example, Play store showed zero installed programs for me until after a reboot.

I'm not sure I understand about XBMC source, I was asking whether it's the stock version loaded or the special build the other poster mentions -
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Perseus:
Op Updated. I included Stock XBMC App as the special build did not come out until very recently. I may include it in future updates, but then it will always be a catch up game as apps keep updating all the time.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] a7t7d:
Thanks!

Interesting - the updated MX player is much improved, but still too jerky to watch at 1080p. So I probably won't invest too much time into xbmc until they catch up.

The video player in ES File Explorer also handles 1080p fine.

Funny, the Smartstick has the Mali 400 gpu, which has been fine at 1080p in MX Player on other devices I've had - does it want the addon codec or something?

I much prefer your rom to the stock on this btw -
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Perseus:
MX has been my player of choice since it is way better than the VLC crap. Depending on which file format you are playing, it may want an addon codec or two. (Say for DivX)

The Mali 400 actually blew me away with the picture perfect HD Rendition of EPIX Streams.(With Full Dolby Surround Sound.)

P.S. - Thanks for the kind words.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] a7t7d:
Bluetooth?

From an earlier post, someone mentioned plugging in a bluetooth adapter and it showing up.

I've tried 5 different brands of bluetooth adapter, and it never seems to recognize any of them; if I go into settings there is no bluetooth section under wireless therefore I have no way to pair.

Is there a step I am skipping, a config file that needs to be edited, an app I can install to add that part of the interface back, or is the entire bluetooth subsection just left out of this build of Android?

Edit: ES File Explorer is able to turn bluetooth on with the dongle plugged in, but only supports bluetooth file sharing devices, not keyboards/mice. Is there an apk I need to install that contains this part of the control panel/settings?

[MENTION=3639717]Perseus71[/MENTION],

First of all, thanks for a great smart stick ROM and taking care of the numerous wi-fi issues that I've been having.

Just wondering if your ROM also fixes the A/V Receiver issues similar to those in Chad's 1.1.2.5RC release?

Thanks
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Perseus:
The stock Kernel does not (and probably will not) support external Bluetooth Adapters. So support for external bluetooth accessories will have limited support. I suggest trying standard Logitec devices and if they do not work then you need to wait till Stock kernel is updated.

I am afraid not.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] payazo915:
Sorry to get off topic but how can I install this rom on my ss from the latest rc on favi's forum? I've tried and the flash fails
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Perseus:
You need to install the FULL version of 1.1.2.1 update from Favi's website and then install this. This is stop gap until I update my code base and release a new version.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] payazo915:
Thank you. Let me try this.

Thank you Perseus71. Work like a charm
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Perseus:
Best way to thank is to Click the Button. But this helps too.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] a7t7d:
Internal resolution stuck at 720p

Ok, this has been driving me crazy for a week now, and I think I've finally figured out the cause. In the Display settings you can set the output to 1080p, but the Android internal resolution remains at 720p. This means that we aren't getting full display benefits, it is internally rescaling, and incidentally probably explains why MX Player/pro stutters at 1080p - it's having to downscale then upscale internally to display.

My 'killer app' for these sticks is supposed to be Remote Desktop. But every remote desktop program is locking my resolution to 720p, because that is what Android internally thinks it has regardless of what is being sent to the TV it's plugged into.

Help! This device is unusable unless I can run it at native 1080p internally. Is this something that needs to be changed in build.prop?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Perseus:
Try in the Build.Prop

ro.media.enc.hprof.vid.width=1920

ro.media.enc.hprof.vid.height=1080
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] a7t7d:
How to get true 1080p

Well, that put me on the right track. There are already lines forcing to 720p that need changed. Here's what you need for true 1080:

const.window.w=1920

const.window.h=1080

And then comment out:

ro.platform.has.1080scale=2

For those who may not know, place a # at the line beginning to comment out, so that will look like:

#ro.platform.has.1080scale=2

The const.window.w and h lines already exist, and need to be changed from 1280 and 720 to the correct 1920 and 1080.

Thanks to this post, which explains about scaling as well:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/...-native-screen-resolution-of-external-monitor

Unfortunately this fix has not helped with MX player, in fact after the latest version it is wonkier than ever. Doesn't even want to play 720p files with any degree of reliability...

----------------

Ok, I get that 'new users' to this forum may not post more often than once every 5 minutes. But not being able to edit my own post? And setting the vbulletin log-you-out timer shorter than the minimum post time means I lost the edits I was making for clarity and had to start over, which is not something that encourages me to be a productive member of this site. Any moderators listening?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Perseus:
Thanks for the Research. I will incorporate these in the next edition of the ROM.

As to the New User restrictions, once you have posted 5 times (Or so I think). they will be lifted.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] a7t7d:
I have 12 posts and the same thing just happened again.

Before you make those changes for everyone, won't this force everyone to 1080p and disable 720p? Is there a way to get both or get the settings page for display to apply those changes when 1080p is selected?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Perseus:
The settings you have given change the "Default" Launcher Resolution. Any Media player worth its salt will be able to downgrade via Software rendering. Besides, If the movie was encoded for 720, it will be displayed at 720 (at least on most of the players)

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] a7t7d:
Thanks Mike. I'll pm the other question so this thread can get back to topic.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] a7t7d:
Right, but what happens with the 1080p settings if the TV set it's plugged into is native 720p and can't display 1080?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Perseus:
During my experiments, the picture zoomed out beyond TV borders.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] a7t7d:
About what I had guessed - which means that writing those changes into the next update would make it a 1080p only rom if I understand correctly - unless there's a way to fix the settings menu entry for display so it applies those three changes to build.prop when 1080 is chosen.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Perseus:
Dude we are ways to go from Per App DPI settings of PA. Need JB for that.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] a7t7d:
Yes, of course - That's not what I'm saying at all, so I'm obviously not expressing myself well.

I am concerned that if you wrap my build.prop lines into your next rom that it will either crash or be unusable if the smartstick is plugged into a 720p TV set.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Perseus:
I somehow doubt that. Those are not the only lines that control normal android Launcher space. Try it for yourself in the current Build.prop.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] a7t7d:
I don't have any 720p devices to test it on -
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Perseus:
You can however force your TV to 720p. Some TVs allow you to change in Settings.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] a7t7d:
None of mine do. Anybody out there still running 720p?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] tekweezle:
Just bought a SS and might give this a try after getting used to the device.

Thanks again Developer!
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Perseus:
Welcome to the family. Let me know if you have issues.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] tekweezle:
Just an FYI, I got this installed.

Is there a way to turn on and off usb debugging? I was looking for a development section or something under apps or advanced. Can I hit build status 7 times?

Also I am running on a 720p TV.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Perseus:
I don't think the TV resolution matters. AMLOGIC chipset does not allow for USB access hence no debug. Your best bet would be ADB Wireless for what I think you are trying.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] 8er:
Did not see the below requirement in post #1

"1. Download the Zip file as is to your SD Card or USB stick. Plug that in."

Suggestion--

1. Copy downloaded zipped JASS ROM to the root folder of your flash ROM device. Do not unzip the ROM.

1.5. Plug in the above flash ROM device to the Favi's MicroSD slot or USB port.

Am looking forward to installing your ROM in the morning!
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Perseus:
Thanks for the correction. Will update the Op.

The Requirement came when Stock was updated to 1.1.2.5
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] tekweezle:
The reason I need to toggle USB debug to off is for the Time Warner Cable App. it won;t run with it turned on for some reason

I usually have it on for Titanium Backup and seems to be the default for this rom and the stock rom. but coming from rooted roms, i know you should be able to turn this setting on and off.

thanks again
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] lbcoach3347:
Has this rom been updated

Sent from my Big A$$ Note 2
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] 8er:
Problems installing, successful resolution

Out of the box had the latest FAVI firmware.

Not rooted.

Recovery mode would not mount:

-MicroSD in micro SD slot

-SD card in SD reader

Tried 5x to get it to work, but it would not mount. Got plenty of error messages 'failed to mount...".

FAVI file explorer and ES file explorer would see the SD and the contents of the SD card & the MicroSD within the stock ROM.

Solution, copy the JASS ROM to the internal storage using ES file explorer. Enter recovery, flash, wipe, reboot.

All is well.:good:
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] tekweezle:
the the recovery have trouble if there are directories on the SD Card? Origianlly before I installed JASS, I was trying to update to the rooted Stock version. Got those messages of E: not being mounted and inside recovery, I couldn;t brows to anything. This was from trying to update first within the OS using the System Update/Local Device . it would error out and be left in the Recovery.

The Stockupdate finally ran after I hit the pin button with a paperclip and plugging in the power. Bit not sure if that worked after deleting all the directories on my sd card first.

Anyway, I am on the JASS Rom now and so far, so good. Only issue is that Flash Plug in isn;t working. I was able to update it via the Play Store, I believe;. I think its on 11.2
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] 8er:
Only the ROM was on the card, in the root directory of the card. No directories / sub folder were on the card.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Perseus:
Work in progress. I am stumped by the moronic way AMLOGIC distributes images for their chips.

If you are already on a rooted app and the Recovery won't launch then use Quick Boot to reboot to recovery.

Remember, in Recovery E: is USB. It will not recognize an SD card reader in Recovery.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] 8er:
Which Bluetooth device?

Chipset, model, or where purchased would be great to know. I have tried 2. Either they are not supported or I do not know what it takes to get the FAVI to recognize them.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] tekweezle:
Another minor issue-does this stick support ext2/3/4 file system? I tried ext2 and didn't mount.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] 8er:
Found and am using Bluetooth Keyboard from the market. It is finicky. However, I was able to connect a visiontek vt-2012 Bluetooth keyboard to the FAVI! So far all is working well.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Perseus:
No it does not. Only YAFFS.

All well that ends well.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] a7t7d:
What Bluetooth dongle worked with that software for you?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] 8er:
The one that comes with the KB.

However, I was able to connect a visiontek vt-2012 Bluetooth keyboard to the FAVI!
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ldmeeds:
Just got this rom installed a couple hours ago. Is there a way to get the status bar to show up? I have yet to see it either on the original software or with this. It is driving me crazy.

I tried resizing the screen. Apex launcher has the option to turn it off. Tried toggling it and nothing happens.

Hulu and Netflix still have choppy strems, and this is within 2 feet of my router.

All in all the rom is pretty cool, just afraid this stick is a bit underpowered :(
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Perseus:
No not in this version. I am working on next version that will have status bar.

Can you elaborate on underpowered?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ldmeeds:
Just that it doesn't want to stream hulu/netflix well enough. That was going to be my main use for this device. I'm not giving up on it though. It is a pretty cool setup. Especially with the Favi keyboard/trackpad. I LOVE that thing!!
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] tekweezle:
Did you want the notification tray? I think you hit the F2 key to get that if you have a regular keyboard attached.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Perseus:
Can you try WiFi Analyzer ? Would it be possible the channel is crowded ?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ldmeeds:
Sweet, this is on the right track. It will pop up with F2. But goes away after I do anything.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Perseus:
When I was writing this rom, I spent quiet a long time for increasing that timeout delay and make taskbar appear. Finally gave up. Anyway there is no CM Device tree for it.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] tekweezle:
i run the app OS Monitor and let the cpu monitor sit in the notification tray. tells me alot when my stick bogs down and I hit the F2 key. Memory consumption doesn;t seem to be a big issue with 1 gig of RAM as I usually have about 500 mb or more free. Also when decoding video, doesn;t seem like CPU is hit hard either. I mostly use the VIKI.COM app to watch Korean Dramas. I;ve also used the Slingplayer for Phones App too. So it seems like video GPU is pretty decent. Not bad for a single core Arm device.

Occasionally video can stutter though but in the absence of high cpu or memory consumption, the only other variable I can see is the wireless network card. if you are really having bad performance, the next thing to try is a USB wired Network card. On these Android Sticks, none of them are purported have great Wifi performance even with the wifi router very close by. Maybe it;s a design quirk or maybe there is too much electro magnetic interference from your LCD tv? who knows.....
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ldmeeds:
I had a feeling that it had something to do with the original firmware. That always has limitations. I hit the F2 button, and all these notifications popped up!! Never would have seen them without hitting that button. That is a bit of an oversight on the manufacturer's part. I know it has nothing to do with this rom.

I have emailed a tech with Favi. He was interested and I'm pretty sure he will address this issue.

I did notice that there were icons popping up in the lower right side of the screen whenever I downloaded an app. I could see an icon but not what it was doing. And then it would disappear. It would also put an icon on my desktop. So basically when I download an app, it will show the desktop ico and another icon at the lower right that will disappear after a few seconds.

I just want it to look like my cellphone which has the status bar. Showing Time, Signal strength, and pending notifications....etc..
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] tekweezle:
putting an icon on your desktop after installing is a Play store setting. works just like your cellphone. you can turn that feature off.

usually having something obliterating part of your screen when watching video is not desired so that;s why the behaviour of the notifications and status bars are usually designed to disappear.
