You may want to try Auto Memory manager on aggressive settings and then not bother to check at all. As it stands I did tweak LMK values anyway in the rom. So your free memory will always be higher.IF you want even more, then in Titanium Backup, first move your important apps to be System apps, Then use the option "Integrate Dalvik into System."

In stead of comparing to cellphone, compare to a tablet instead. As you know without Phone Signal to worry about, tablets have different UI.

With second Gen of the Rom, you will get full blown notification bar and nav bar as well.

SURVEY for all of you who Visit this thread -

While you are waiting for the next Gen of this, Rom, would you like to have Recovery Flashable Midnight Google apps ? Essentially inverted Gapps of any flavor. If you want a different one, post the name and XDA Link if there's one.

On second thoughts, don't limit to Google Apps, if there's a Flashable mod you'd dearly love to have ported, please post.

You may also use this as a chance to give me a wish list of things you'd like to see in the next version.

I am typing this on a Nexus 7 tablet. Cell phone signal is obviously absent. Wifi signal, battery status (which I realize does not apply), Time, and any notifications are all right there at the top of my screen. Why is this missing? We obviously get notifications.

Send an email to yourself. A little icon pops up in the lower right corner for 2-3 seconds, and then goes away. F2 will bring it up. But casually using this device, you would have no idea of an unread email.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] tekweezle:
as far as suggestions for the next iteration of this rom, I like the approach alot of other ROM builders do on XDA where less is more. Unless you have a reason to, don;t include any apps from Google that the user could get from the Playstore themselves unless you feel it;s vital to the usability of the ROM. That would result in a smaller, tighter rom that would be easier to download and maybe even install. So stuff like GMAIL, leave it out.

Do you have any control over whether to turn off and on USB debugging. It;s usually a developer option. I believe it;s on be default but I have an app(TWC) that won;t run if it;s on. Their lame attempt to restrict running their app on rooted devices I suppose.

thanks again for the hard work
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ldmeeds:
Flashable Midnight Google Apps?? Yes please!!
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Perseus:
I am aware in current version the Notification bar is absent. It was in my opinion a crippling of the stick in original Stock Firmware.

I am adding it in my next release.

I was not intending to include bloat in the rom. What I was mentioning was a separate Mod Zip file that you could flash via recovery just like you will do on your phone. Gapps is one such mod. It is not related to Rom in any capacity. What I am trying to do is solicit feedback on what users want given the limited user base of this device.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ldmeeds:
Ok Gurus. This may be a stupid question. How can I shutdown/start up using the Favi keypad?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Perseus:
FN + Enter
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] lbcoach3347:
Is anyone else having netfix issue, were you load a program it loads then stops after 5-8 seconds and goes Black. If so and you figured out the solution, please let me know. Thanks

What is the Rom Version on your Smartstick ?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] tekweezle:
is there a key combo that might work with a regular keyboard for startup/shutdown or wakeup from sleep?

the regular keys that I am aware of

ESC=back

F1=Menu

F2=Tray Info

F4=Home

F9=Down volume

F10=Up Volume
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Perseus:
You can restart with Fn + Enter. Since Mouse Drivers are not loaded via recovery, there will be no keyboard support for Startup or Wake from Sleep.

You can use Quick Boot app if needed.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] tekweezle:
I don;t have a FAVI keyboard so i don;t have an FN key. Just using a regular PC keyboard

I had been using the IR remote to turn the unit on and off but just wondering if I could get away without it when traveling.

I installed the quickboot app-works well for restarting/rebooting the box but atleast for me, shutdown doesn;t seem to do anything.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Perseus:
That app was written for the Phones and does not work for tablets. I had used Shutdown successfully before I started modding. Now I just take a Paperclip to it and unplug.

Please follow the instructions in OP and try that Rom. Others had good results with Netflix over it. If you do not wish to do so, download updated firmware from Favi's Website.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] lbcoach3347:
Ok let me see If I have this. Download the full rom from favi site. Install and set up then flash your 1.0 download then let it run

Sent from my Big A$$ Note 2
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Perseus:
Not quiet. You can do one or the other.

Favi's latest version won't let you install mine on top of it.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] lbcoach3347:
Ok, I guess here is my confusion. this is what I am reading in the OP.

NOTE - 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.

Background for me here is that I did not flash this originally . I got this with the rom flashed on it, but I am not a stranger to flashing.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Perseus:
I went back and I see your screenshot that you don't have FAVI's latest firmware. So you can ignore that note all together. I thought you were going to pull firmware on FAVI's website which is at version 1.1.2.5 as compared to yours 1.1.2.1

My bad. Hope this is clear.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] lbcoach3347:
Ok, so i just take the download on the op and flash it, or is that what i am running already
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Perseus:
You flash per OP. You are not running Jass Rom at present.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] lbcoach3347:
ok, When I start the device it shows your bootup. I will reflash it.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Perseus:
Could be. That Screenshot you posted sounded like stock. Do please perform Factory reset before flashing.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] lbcoach3347:
ok. will give it a try tonight. thanks for the help
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] a7t7d:
What Android version is the goal for the next gen?

Out of curiosity, is the new version you're working on still ICS or will it move up to Jelly Bean?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Perseus:
Interesting that you ask. Yes I am working on the next version. For Quiet some time at that.

Indeed I wanted to upgrade to 4.3 if not then JellyBean. I struggled enormously getting the Source code so I could compile Device tree for that. Unfortunately I have hit the same rock wall that a lot of Ainol NOVO 7 tablet users have faced. It turns out, AMLOGIC the Company that makes the Processor for Smartstick, has not released source code beyond ICS. Without their Kernel Libraries & drivers, there is absolutely no chance of an upgrade. The Seriously larger Ainol NOVO community even took out a patent to AMLOGIC to release the code. I believe even FAVI has tried as well. So short answer is, no I can't upgrade as much as I want to.

Now having said that, its not preventing me from bringing JB features to ICS. So no one should abandon hope. I indeed am making an honest effort to present as much JB Experience as I can. At the same time, my previous question still stands unanswered. What do you the users expect in the next edition ???
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] lbcoach3347:
Is there any way to increase the Wi-Fi signal through software

Sent from my Big A$$ Note 2
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Perseus:
Yes there is. Its not a magic cure but it does what it can. The first part of it is in the JASS Rom. I am further building on that in the next JASS edition.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] lbcoach3347:
Ok so the rom does it automatically

Sent from my Big A$$ Note 2
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Perseus:
Yes that's correct. Of course there's more you could do as a user that the Rom can't. which is setting correct channel and Static IP on your Router. Use an N router if possible.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] lion7718:
Received my SmartStick this afternoon & rooted it about an hour ago..no problems.

I almost download the sock rooted ROM from Favi, but went with yours instead...I will say that after using the stock ROM & getting used to how everything was setup, was kinda surprised how much everything changed. Now it's just a matter of learning it all over again.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Perseus:
I am working on a newer version. I have quiet the goody bag in store. So you want to finish learning in a hurry! :D
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] tekweezle:
is there a way to clear the notification tray of it;s messages? i can;t seem to figure out how to do that. i usually have alot of old notification messages about all the apps that got updated.

other than that, thanks again for the hard work. have been using the smartstick for about a month now on your ROM. it works well for a single core device. not noticing any high cpu when decoding video from Youtube or any of the other streaming video apps I use.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Perseus:
Thanks for the kind words. To answer your question, please press f2 to bring out notification menu. Once its open, click the X that appears alongside the clock in lower right corner. That should clear the notification. In the next release, I will have a full blown navigation bar so you can use it more like a tablet.

I believe we didn't really unleashed its true potential as AMLOGIC deliberately minimized the use of GPU. So in the next release I am shifting all decoding and rendering to the MALI 400 GPU. That should take some load off CPU. That will give you more juice. We don't have a battery to worry about anyway.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] tekweezle:
the stick works reasonably well for me. fortunately i haven;t run into any issues other people have complained about like bad blocks on the EMMC memory.

if it could work even better with actual support for the hardware drivers, that would be great. as I said, it already works well for me. This stick spec wise may not be the most powerful but the fact that you can root it easily without any fuss makes me wonder why more people don;t just go to this one. it;s only 45$ on newegg.

Rooted images exist on the manufacturers website but having someone willing to develop for it is great. I believe Android Recovery is built in so no need to do anything to void the warranty and brick the unit.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Perseus:
Believe it or not. They will replace it if you bricked it.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] HCGeek:
Just bought a couple for xmas gifts.

FAVI is selling them for $24.00 - 4GB (Sold Out) & $34.00 - 8GB

Can't wait to flash this ROM!

I don't work for them, just a heads up to XDA.

looking forward to the new build,

I really want to use this as ab XBMC stick for travel
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Perseus:
Please help me refresh my memory. Can you please provide some details on what are the issues with XBMC again ? I know there was a discussion on the FAVI forum. I'd like first hand opinion if you are XBMC user.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] mhoward223:
I dont have the sticks yet. Just ordered from Favi with the recent sale.

As soon as i get it, I'll see if i can load your rom and test it out.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Perseus:
Appreciate if you can detail out the issues with XBMC.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] tekweezle:
just an fyi, picked up this FAVI keyboard off amazon for 15.99 to go with my smartstick. funny thing is the website said this version doesn;t work with the smartstick but it did work with mine. maybe it;s the JASS rom.

http://www.amazon.com/FE01-BL-Wireless-Keyboard-Mouse-Touchpad/dp/B003UE52ME/ref=cm_cr_pr_pb_t
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Perseus:
Did you get any software / Files or anything with that ?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] tekweezle:
no software provided or needed, just plugged in the ir receiver and it worked. I already had a wired keyboard and mouse working via a USB to PS2 converter cable. Also tested a wireless mouse and worked fine.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Perseus:
Ok I wondered if they gave you new Key Layout files. Anyway right now I am really struggling to include Zoom Out button in the next edition of JASS Rom. In particular I want the Green Lens button to do that job. We'll see.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] lbcoach3347:
Can you add in the Bluetooth menu option on the next build. I just got the favi keyboard and can't get it to work. I plug in the dongle and go thought he instructions but it tells me to choose the Bluetooth menu option to sync it

Sent from my Big A$$ Note 2
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Perseus:
I will need to add the Bluetooth Pairings app in the next edition, as turning on the Settings requires a lot more Kernel changes. Did you get a USB Dongle to go with the Keyboard ?

Do understand, the Stick by itself does not have Bluetooth Antenna.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] lbcoach3347:
I did get a dongle, with the favi keyboard, but it will not connect to it. The instructions require me to pair the keyboard to the dongle.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Perseus:
That's something else from Android doing it. What you are supposed to do is plug in the dongle, then hold the keyboard close to the dongle. Turn on the keyboard if not done already and then Press RF Button or FN + RF for about 2 minutes.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] lbcoach3347:
I just found out that i got the wrong keyboard. That this is the bluetooth keyboard, not the RF one. So I need to return it. Thanks for the response and will look ti get a new keyboard. Cant belive they make two diffrent ones.

2 - If i flash a JB recovery, my phone wont boot either to OS or recovery.

What should i do?

Just flash the latest Siyah/Dori kernel for ICS then, and ur good to go.

Since ur on 4.0.4, I suggest u read about 'eMMC Brickbug' too, just to be careful.:)

AFAIK, Status 7 error could be because of a corrupted download or trying to flash the wrong ROM for your device. Please check both.

Xperia Play Developer Award Show

Introduction

I'm Kevin for the majority who don't know who I am. I'm relatively new on this site. I've been lurking on Xda for over a year now and when I got my xperia play back in December last year, I decided to make a account. This site is just simply amazing but only because of it's members and amazing developers. So I thought we should have a "celebration" and give more credibility to developers on this site by nominating or giving them awards. If a developer for example won Best Xperia Play Custom Rom award, or even a nomination, it would give such a developer (or at least I hope so) some creditably, awareness and respect by the rest of the xperia play xda community. I hope you guys understand what I'm trying to do here lol. Of course I understand that I need approval from the moderation so once or if I'll get green light from them, I can start planning in a wider circle.

Purpose Of This Award Show

-Mostly to reward the hard working developers

-Give Credibility To Developers And Their Roms

-Inspire new developers

Categories

I have a lot of categories in mind which some of include:

- Best All Time Developer

- Best New Developer

- Developer Of The Year

- Custom Rom Of The Year

- Best Custom Rom

- Best Gingerbread Rom

- Best Jellybean Rom

- Best Kernel

- Best Gaming Rom

- Best New Tweak

There are more categories but these are just from the top of my head.

Voting & Nominations

Since I'm new and most of the times have no freaking clue what y'all are talking about, I need members who actually know about all of this stuff. It could be senior members, advanced members or whatever but I need a select few (like 5 members) who are non-biased and can be objective when it comes to selecting the nominations. I was thinking that the rest of the community should vote but then again there will be people like me who don't understand everything. Well this is something we should talk about if or when this thread gets approved.

So what do y'all think? If you approve please hit like or just post so that we can know.

[Xperia Play Android Development] Kevinkdc:
You see I don't even know who he is. I would just be the host. But I need members like you to help with the categories. I think recurrent developers like Cosmicdan and doomlord should get special awards, like a lifetime award apart from the other categories.
[Xperia Play Android Development] sewer56lol:
This should be in the general section.

Anyway :

- Best All Time Developer

CosmicDan

- Best New Developer

Johnzey (I would say Spizzy but he had 200 thanks before AuroraPlay and an account since 2011)

- Developer Of The Year

CosmicDan

- Custom Rom Of The Year

[Xperia Play Android Development] Kevinkdc:
I was confused where to put it. But the point is that a select objective developers would submit their nominations to me, and the ones with the most nominations would go trough the final nominations. The final nominations would be announced by me and then the rest of the community can vote by sending a message to me and then I will reveal the results.

There needs to be some kind of anticipations for this though.
[Xperia Play Android Development] sewer56lol:
You can add a count to the first post.

Do not add a poll because you cannot remove them (you need to ask an admin to do so)
[Xperia Play Android Development] Kevinkdc:
We'll see if this thread gets approved by the mods and the rest of the community.

The most important thing are the nominations. I need 5 members (or more) who can submit 5 developer/roms/kernal for each category and then send it to me.

For example for best custom rom:

1st member submits:

X custom rom

Y custom rom

D custom rom

S custom rom

2nd member submits:

X custom rom

Y custom rom

T custom rom

A custom rom

3rd member submits:

X custom rom

Y custom rom

D custom rom

A custom rom

4th member submits

Y custom rom

A custom rom

X custom rom

T custom rom

5th member submits:

X custom rom

D custom rom

Y custom rom

T custom rom

The nomination for best custom rom will then be:

X custom rom

Y custom rom

T custom rom

D custom rom

Because they have the most votes. Do you know where I'm going with this?
[Xperia Play Android Development] sewer56lol:
Yeah.

I'll just wait till this thread gets approved by mod.
