Agreed, I'll md5 it and post results from the tf700 ucode tomorrow after work.
[Ouya Android Development] professorpoptart:
looking at the nvavp ucode files:

it looks like the ouya dropped the primary "nvavp_vid_ucode.bin" and only uses "nvavp_vid_ucode_alt.bin" which should only load if the first file is not found. (this is in /system/etc/firmware/)

the function that loads this in the kernel is below:

static int nvavp_load_ucode(struct nvavp_info *nvavp)

Anyone happen to know how to extract the ucode.bin files? or we could look through the kernel source... Specifically at nvavp_dev.c and see if there is any thing there we can leverage.

The files, as could be expected, have different md5sums. This is the AOSP tf700 and ouya OTA files. In my builds I am using the ouya's, which does not get past the nvavp loading... So 2 test (I don't expect either to work, but maybe get some new things to google) , first try the tf700 ucode file and see if there is the same error. 2nd try it without the ucode file altogether and see if it moves on without it or we get a new error...

What I'm looking for in a successful boot as far as nvavp is:

[ 4.913702] nvavp nvavp: allocated IOVM at ff00000 for AVP os

...

[ 8.634588] nvavp nvavp: using SMMU at ff00000 to load AVP kernel

[ 8.666445] nvavp nvavp: read firmware from 'nvavp_os_0ff00000.bin' (15516 b)

[ 8.688074] nvavp nvavp: entry=00000094 control=00004a80 debug=00005280 size2

[ 8.695966] nvavp nvavp: AVP os at vaddr=f0e00000 paddr=ff00000 reset_addr=04

[ 8.719040] nvavp nvavp: read ucode firmware from 'nvavp_vid_ucode_alt.bin' )

[ 8.849721] nvavp nvavp: using SMMU at ff00000 to load AVP kernel

[ 8.856061] nvavp nvavp: AVP os at vaddr=f0e00000 paddr=ff00000 reset_addr=04

Well looks like the tf700 ucode can load nvavp! Its still not booting but got exactly what I was looking for above.

Now it still sits at boot animation for about 60 seconds then I get "init: sys_prop: permission denied uid:1003 name:service.bootanit"

OK so it looks like I'm actually in android but I have no launcher (as I have removed the ouya stuff in this rom)... I'm at a black screen and when I go to manually power down I get the android shutdown toast message. side loaded nova to get up and running. still have the "ouya system" in manage apps so I have some more cleaning to do.

edit: forgot to mention but play was still fc'ing. I have tried so many things with this rom, I think I'm going to try to go through a clean AOSP port again with knowing what I know now...

I love this little time waster! something to look forward to every night!

[Ouya Android Development] professorpoptart:

[Ouya Android Development] jaedolla:
YOU CAN DO IT!!!! fingers crossed.
[Ouya Android Development] professorpoptart:
on irc, FreeNode #ouya-dev... Will post summary from the channel when I'm done for the night.

And..... time is up for tonight! so heres what happened...

So, I read somewhere that odexed roms cause issues when porting, and all the roms so far are odexed. I was working on a deodexed 328 OTA rom to use as the base for the port. The deodex worked fine but I got to greedy with changes and decided while I'm in the kitchen to add init.d support for the kernel... and busybox/su... after which I got a nice black screen. adb devices says I'm in recovery but no video and a ton of errors on the uart serial output. I am able to get into adb though and shell in... I got scared for a sec with all the errors and no video after the sysreq trick! At least if I break it now I can just run to the store and buy another! Anyway, I have yet to find a way to either 1) flash an OTA zip, 2) restore a CWM backup from where I'm at. I can also get to bootloader to fastboot but booting the CWMrecovery.img or the ota boot.img both seem to do nothing (other then reboot).

I was trying to push the ota update.zip line directly to the recovery command with [below] but no luck...

adb shell "echo '--update_package=SDCARD:update.zip' >> /cache/recovery/command"

Any restore methods via adb/shell let me know!

So step one get back to stock! Then flash my "non-greedy" deodexed ota rom. Once I verify that the deodexed rom works then I will use that as the base for the port and try to use that with the stock kernel and see what UART says and go from there...
[Ouya Android Development] sonofskywalker3:
Might be having a display issue, have you tried hooking up to a different display and booting into recovery? Your ROM didn't overwrite CWM did it?
[Ouya Android Development] gianptune:
This command, by itself, wont work. "adb shell echo ....." will only let you write places that uid 2000 (shell user) can write. Try "adb shell", "su", and get a root prompt, and then "echo derpy_derp >> /cache/blabla/fartypants"
[Ouya Android Development] professorpoptart:
Now that you say that, I had the same thing happend back when I first put cwm on it. I remember posting about it. Havent had an issue for months now though...
[Ouya Android Development] professorpoptart:
Tried other tvs same thing, tried echoing to /recovery/command from shell in recovery and cant really tell if its doing anything but after waiting a few minutes and rebooting no changes. I tried to fastboot flash the OTA boot.img (as i'm 90% sure its kernel related) but still get a ton of uart nvhdcp errors and have to sysrq to get back to recovery. Tried fastbooting the cwm.img and it does go directly into recovery, so its booting that, as normally it tries to go into regular mtp mode...

sure would be nice to have an odin or something... but wheres the fun in that!

Tried to dd the boot.img to mmcblk0p2 no change. Its almost like a permissions thing, but I dont get any error or other feedback...

Next thing to try is to dd the parts of one of the cwm backups.
[Ouya Android Development] HTCdemon:
Here you go since you asked for it.
[Ouya Android Development] MasterZen88:
Did you use the kitchen to add init.d via the menu option or did you use the kitchen to unpack the boot.img and apply the init.d service to ramdisk?

I'm hoping I wont brick mine...Fingers crossed
[Ouya Android Development] professorpoptart:
I used the kitchen menu. I'm back up and running now. Took the whole weekend to figure it out though. Worst case just fastboot boot anything before you install and you should be fine. had i done that first I would have saved myself a weekend! lol
[Ouya Android Development] professorpoptart:
So the good news is that due to my no video output scare I have another ouya on the way, which means I will be able to test twice as fast!... Really I will just have a backup for the next time I break it :).

What happened;

I have had issues with no video before, when i was first putting cwm on it. There must be something finicky with the way it loads hdmi video... like if a display is not detected it wont enable that piece of hardware? Or some kind of cache that needs to be cleared out by unplugging power? Not sure what exactly causes it but once it happens I have to hook it up to an old TV that has no power saving auto off functions. I had tried this after sonofskywalker had brought it up but it didn't work... so two days later after running out of options I tried it again. This time after rebooting a couple times and hitting sysrq+i in different combinations and frequencies (for about 5 minutes... at the point of giving up), I noticed the screen flickered but thing came up, sysrq'ed some more waited, screen flickered... a few more times of this.... BAM CWM comes up on the screen! flashed stock 328, and haven't had the video issue since.

Now back to work on this port!
[Ouya Android Development] sonofskywalker3:
Awesome, I'm so glad you didn't hard brick.
[Ouya Android Development] MasterZen88:
Great well when I get time I'll create a Un-Bricker tools.. Similar to what I did for tf201.

That way we have an easy recovery ;)

just change it to Storage Card

These settings are different sets for video & image. you'll have to change them separately (see the tabs at the bottom)

If you knew this I'm sorry, but just to be sure you didn't miss the obvious.

Hi all, I m new to Samsung, previously using HTC. I got a simple yet a question that troubling me and preventing me from rooting my phone. I saw a thread regarding the CF-auto root which i think is a most easiest way to root my phone (GT-I9505). Here is my phone details:

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
TA only resets to 0 if you have a stock rom and recovery, otherwise it will always jump back to 1. Don`t use TA with a custom kernel, that may cause soft bricks/bootloops.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trekkerr:
Basically, from what you are saying it is much safer to be on stock for the mean time? Are there stable roms out there that thats available? Mostly from what i read on android dev, they are mostly alpha (please correct me if i am wrong).

Btw, thanks for your help. I have successfully rooted my i9505 using cf-auto root. My second question is what would be the most stable recovery?

I read from an article that CWM is still unstable?
[Android Apps and Games] torcellite:
Do you use your phone a lot on constant brightness? Does this drain battery or strain your eyes? Here's an application which will help you get accustomed to lower screen brightness.

hxxp://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.torcellite.smartscreen

Smart Screen reduces brightness gradually from two settings set by the user. You can also add a screen filter to it.

How to use the app:

To start, set a comfortable start brightness and a lower end brightness. You can see the previews.

Set by how many points the brightness should fall every cycle.

Set the cycle time in minutes. Minimum being minute.

Also apply a screen filter if using at night or if required.

Once complete, a notification will pop up allowing you to reset your brightness and disables the filter.

NOTE: ENABLE FILTER ONLY RIGHT BEFORE PRESSING START OR YOU CANNOT CUSTOMIZE THE TIME AND BRIGHTNESS REDUCTION POINTS.

You can also use the app as a dimmer. Just enable the filter and leave it. You dont have to press start. To disable, go to the app again and uncheck "Enable screen filter".

Example:

Start brightness : 200

End brightness : 100

Reduce brightess by: 15

Interval : 2m

So, the app will reduce brightness by 15 every two minutes from 200 to 100.

The screen filter is to add a shadow kind of effect.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bcrest1:
Currently running Wambo_Bomb's CM10.1 with my Virgin Mobile $25 plan and it is simply fantastic! My question is regarding native v-mail notifications for prepaid service. I know this feature has been discussed in various forums and I have searched a great deal, but I'm still not clear as to: if this now works in currently developed ROMs and it's just not working for me, or is it limited functionality only?.

Currently I get native voicemail notifications (w/counts) at boot-up only, not in real-time (ie,, some check happens initially but does not monitor/catch the voicemail when it occurs - I do get the missed calls of course). Retrieving the VM's will not remove the notification - has to be cleared manually.

This was also the case on my GB install (latest stock) until I came across a modded Phone.apk which now gives me full native voicemail notification at each occurrence . My understanding (and indications from smali file compares) was that the mod was pretty extensive to force native voicemail over Sprint's visual voicemail.

If someone can please confirm whether a similarly modified Phone,apk would be the only solution for CM10.1, I'll make a humble developer request and then quietly count myself fortunate and accept what I've got - as I'm guessing that level of modding is way beyond my abilities.

My posts are woefully low, and yet I've gained so much from so many here with their incredible knowledge and development work.

Thanks to all of you!!
[Motorola Droid 4] Dark Jedi:
Wife wanted me to ask this about.her phone. When the phone is plugged in the touchscreen gets all wacky. She could be touching the bottom of the screen and register at the top. When she tries to scroll it will instead click on something. When she tries to bring down the notification bar it won't do it. If the phone isn't plugged in everything works as it should.

Might as well say it now she won't let me root the phone. Even though I know it would fix most of her issues. So its not an option. So any insight would be helpful.
[Motorola Droid 4] StevePritchard:
Use a genuine Moto charger, and you should be fine.

I've found this is the case if you are using non-OEM chargers. I've tried a few that have come with cradles, etc, and the cheap ones mustn't be up to the job, and cause these erratic touchscreen problems.

Are you using a genuine Motorola charger? I've not had the problem with one of those.

Cheers,

Steve.

No she isn't using the moto charger that came with the phone. She's going to try that and see what it does. Thanks for the suggestion.

I purchased my Note 10.1 last week and promptly rooted and installed Collective V6. I'm really enjoying it, but wondering if another ROM might be better. I have everything set up the way I like, and don't want to go through the hassle again, so do any of the other TW roms have something better than Collective that I should try them? I want to maintain full S-Pen capabilites, so I'm not interested in those that don't.

Make sure you have the latest jellybean modem otherwise GPS and NFC may not work

1) Download the ROM (sorry about how the link is posted)

2) Boot into recovery

3) Wipe dalvik cache, system and data.

4) Install Zip

5) Install GAPPS

6) Reboot and let ROM load

7) Start Theming!!

thank you for your work. could you please give us a tutorial on how to transplant roms for 9300 to 9305.I don't know which file to revise or replace.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] narcarsiss:
Not relevant to the post, but One day i shall make a tutorial.

Quick description.

1) It involves replacing I9305 drivers over the I9300 ones.

2) Changing the partition files to use the correct blocks.

3) De-compiling and Re-compiling the .jar files to accept these changes.

All up takes a few hours but there must be I9305 Drivers to start with.

For example you can not Port an I9300 Rom to I9305 if you don't have the drivers of the latter first and hence can not be done and why no one has done it yet.

4) But if a Rom I9300 XXBLC and I9305 XXBLC exist the conversion is easy. Just replace the Drivers from I9305 over the I9300 ones, Make the changes in boot.prop and the Installer Script and you are done.

As to the Lag this seems to be part of the MIUI rom in general. It's the Same on the standard Base as well as my cut down version. They are Fixing more and more Bugs each week.

You can try by going into launcher settings and removing icon shadows or using a different transition effect. as some a knows to be buggy.

What might help is what is the Kernel you are using as im on Stock Kernel.

The Sim network you can just skip, Im not sure of to why this happened but i'm attributing it to the Removal of CSC.apk I'll do Some Testing.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wim.glenn:
I have a samsung ead-r10 pico-projector. I used to connect to my galaxy nexus phone with a MHL cable that came with the projector, and it used to "just work" when I was on ice-cream sandwich. You'd plug in the cable, and the phone would automatically rotate to landscape and mirror your screen onto the projector, nice!

Recently an over-the-air upgrade to Android version 4.1.2 jellybean came (I'm on Telstra), and it's somehow not working after that. Now when I plug in the device, it jerks around looking like it's trying to do its thing, and the projector kind of flicks on and off, and then it gives up. The upgrade didn't seem to break anything else. I know the projector is OK because it still works normally with my laptop.

Is this a known issue? I searched around the forums but couldn't find similar problems. How can I troubleshoot that feature and try to get my HDMI out back? I really miss that feature.

Make sure your button locking feature is on. When I first got mine the audio record button used to get triggered in my pocket. Subsequently it would save an audio file to my program memory until the unit froze because it had no more memory left to run the processor. Subsequently it would not operate until I removed the battery and replaced resulting in a hard reset.
