[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] jdoherty76:
Can anyone please tell me what the difference is between NBF, NB0 and NB1 prefixed files.

I think NB0 is boot loader but what is this ?

NB1 is windows CE files, but what exactly ?

I am not sure what NBF files are, can anyone advise.

When you dump your ROM on a windows machine either using the wallaby bootloader or XDAtools is this ROM written as an NB0,NBF or NB1 file?

Thanks John

[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] jdoherty76:
Thanks Rudegar you're a star

Thank you Rudegar you have help considerably. Even with my other post. Therefore when I back my ROM up from my device to my PC using XDAtools I must call this an NB1 file. I assume that in the event of problems that this NB1 file can be reloaded using the ProgrammeA part of XDAtools. If only I can get this to work I’d be a happy bunny. Hopefully someone will show me the error of my ways.

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vanizial:
Yes, I know there's another thread on Parallel Kingdom/Google Currents etc, but I wanted to highlight GPS Games as the thread topic. There's a handful of GPS games (Life is Magic, PK, Ingress) for Android and it would be nice to see them working for KF/KFHD. Apparently it's possible (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EE6voRHVawY) but no one has publicly explained how to do so. Hopefully someone out of the 4 million strong XDA community can publish a guide on how to accomplish this.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gflorezarroyo:
There are several threads dealing of Kindle and GPS, and, as the tablet lacks satellite tracking, there are two methods that seem to work, bluetooth dongle and tethering from a phone. Both systems require some app running in the background. I've tested the bluetooth dongle method, and only a few programs don't work well. Things have changed some with the last update, but is acceptable. I will test those programs for you...
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gflorezarroyo:
I'm working now, but I've downloaded those three games on my phone. When I get home I'll side load them and test with my bluetooth dongle....

Hey gflorez,

As you know, I'm a total noob but I'm wondering what your opinion is on this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2163135? Could it be possible to get things running without bluetooth/tethering?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gflorezarroyo:
First of all, as you said, Ingress loads but waits for a code, and PK doesn't installs. That leaves us Life Is Magic as the only candidate to test(from now on LIS).

The problem with those type of games is that to play them in our Kindle it needs two things that it lacks, GPS and Internet. It has a pseudo localisation by wifi, but isn't as accurate as real GPS. On the other hand it can connect to Internet easily but needs an external provider of data by wifi.

My approach has been to give it coordinates by bluetooth from my GPS dongle and to give it Internet by tethering web data by wifi from my phone. Cumbersome but it has seemed to work ..... until I've run out of phone battery.

My question is, need LIS all the accuracy of a real GPS? or, if it exceeds its entertainment purpose, is the approximate wifi localisation of Kindle enough?

If so, just having a phone capable of "wifi zone" and a data rate would be sufficient as Kindle extracts coordinates from them. It is the next test I would do when my phone is fully loaded.... But if you have a phone like that, you can do the same test just now. If you need an explanation of that tell me.

Meanwhile I will test if installing Alien Droid¿? PK can be installed.

Kinology is based on a stock rom, and has the same benefits and disadvantages as can be achieved with the plain Kindle.

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

Edit:PK is a Jelly Bean app(the new version of Android system), so it does not install on the Kindle Fire Hd, that has ICS(a slight older but actual version of android). "Alien Droid" is a custom Jelly Bean rom made for the old Kindle Fire, incompatible with the completely different Kindle Fire Hd. Highway cut....

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

Editing the edit: PK is compatible with Android 2.1 upwards, but seems that Amazon restricts its use "due to geographical restrictions" as I, European from Spain, can see on the USA web:

http://www.amazon.com/PerBlue-Inc-Parallel-Kingdom-AOT/dp/B004UO1QNC

It is the reason that an old Kindle Fire with a custom rom(Android Jelly Bean 4.2) or my phone with android 2.3.6 can play that game as there are not that restrictions.

On that web, a member of PerBlue, creators of PK says: "Unfortunately Kindle Fire doesn't currently support the Google Maps API necessary to play Parallel Kingdom."

But.... I have google maps installed(courtesy by Prokennexusa) and it doesn't installs...

I'm currently testing if an installation extracted with Titanium backup can be forced inside the Kindle, but no....
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gflorezarroyo:
Definitively Life of Magic doesn't needs very much location accuracy to be playable.... I've tested it by real GPS or by WIFI points. It only needs to be near the interaction point.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vanizial:
I wasn't aware that KF & HD were that much different.

Yes, I saw that post on Yahoo. However, I also read on PK forums where a PK employee has eluded that it's possible to play on KF (not sure about HD) as discussed here:

http://forum.parallelkingdom.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=20067&p=178336&hilit=kindle+fire#p178336

http://forum.parallelkingdom.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=21470&p=184356&hilit=kindle+fire#p184356

You don't need a real GPS location to play PK (I know bcuz I've played years ago and spoofed the location). If that makes any sense. Without a location spoof, you can still travel the entire world and back without ever hitting the relocate button just by getting invites.

So Life of Magic works with bluetooth dongle? What about playing it/getting it installed without additional hardware?

I'm curious as to why Ingress installs though. I imagine Ingress would be more GPS-oriented than both LIM & PK.

In the back of my mind, I think all 3 games are playable on KFHD without additional hardware...of course, I'm not even 5% as tech savvy as you are...but just a hunch, and based on the fact that I know PK is entirely playable without ever having GPS on (you just need Wifi).

Have you guys considered using 1MobileMarket?

This is a Kinology HD using XDA Premium
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gflorezarroyo:
LIM accepts the Kindle as is, autolocating by wifi, but you need wifi then. You only can play in your house or a place that can provide internet data to your kindle, you are fixed to a place. But if you provide internet with your phone you are free and kindle can aproximatively locate you.

Im not an expert, only a little bit more expert than you, but only time.

Owning a dongle has make me me to neglect some the wifi location used by kindle, but now I can say that it needs to compare the sources of wifi near to "triangle" its position. It doesnt need to connect nor know keys of access, only interact. The problem is when your phone is the only wifi near, far from other residential wifi.

---------- Post added at 05:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:02 PM ----------

Pardon LIM.......but LIS sounds better.....

Ive sideloaded hundreds of apps on my kindle, only few have hanged, and only three not installing. One of them is PK.

Kindle has an Android highly modificated, with an incompatibility of code that refuses apps perfectly compatible with other phones or tablets. Im not a programmer , I dont know why it refuses to install.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vanizial:
Ya LIM does work. Odd, it didn't install before. I wonder if a ingress will work.

[Sailfish General] sfiet_konstantin:
It is a rather shameless blog post advertisement, but I wrote that article for you guys, who are asking about ports and compatible phones. You can read the whole blog post to learn how Mer works, what is needed to run Mer / Nemo / Sailfish on your device.

http://sfietkonstantin.wordpress.co...h-mer-nemo-sailfish-the-noob-guide-by-a-noob/

You can already get familiar with the tools, in preparation of Sailfish launch. It is said that the ARM bits will come one day, so it can be sure that there will be ports. :)

Here is the important entry in the FAQ I wrote:

Q: I want to get Sailfish running on <put a phone here> !

As you can see, Sailfish is based on Mer, and Mer do not provide hardware adaptation bits. So first, you need to get informed on how the hardware you have can be managed. X86 hardware is basically managed, but for ARM it is harder. The most important part is GPU. Does the GPU manufacturer provides Linux drivers (for Linux distributions). Does it provides driver that is compatible with X11 ? If yes, then it might be possible to get Sailfish running on that hardware. But it is not as easy. See the following video, with nemo.

[Sailfish General] :
But here it was said that x86 is easier to port Sailfish to than ARM and Razr i has an x86 Intel Atom CPU so it should be possible then.
[Sailfish General] EnErGy[CSDX]:
once again, currently only emulator image available.

emulator image runs inside VirtualBox ofc you can run it on bare metal, but it is emulator.

there is only home screen, no phone app, no contacts, no browser. only use of it is to write your own application and test on it.

Jolla phone i`m sure is ARM based so waiting half year until images for ARM will be available.

and then....... it will be possible to run Jolla UI on Mer compatible device.
[Sailfish General] hacker00740:
Jolla not showing much . . .

What worries me is that Jolla is not showing much in the way of software, which makes porting more of an issue. How many times can you demo the ambiance feature before someone asks: "Where's the beer?" Where is the browser? There is never very much hands-on with the media getting to use it. What about gaming support? What native apps should we anticipate?

The downgrade batch file in XDA-Tools doesn't work for a lot of people (didn't work for me either). However the wallaby patch should work. Otherwise, use XDARit to downgrade the bootloader using the .nb0 file that comes with the downgrade batch in XDA-Tools.

You write the wallaby patch onto the SD card using XDARit, go into the bootloader and enter diagnostics. Then take the SD card out, write bootloader 5.15 onto the card using the bootloader option in XDARit, and place the SD card back into the device. Then from the patched diagnostics screen select Restore SD and it will recognize a bootloader update. I'd recommend saving your original bootloader from the diagnostics first, but that wouldn't work for me for some reason.
