[Ouya Android Development] mybook4:
The idea is it's supposed to be a base for other roms to use. Others only have to concentrate on their additional apps and tweaks, not annoying things like preventing updates from annoying the user.

I don't think the OUYA store will work on anything other than a ROM based on stock, so a custom ROM with tweaks and the OUYA store will need to figure this out. I'm personally hoping we get CM 10.1 running, but I also see the value of stock based Roms for the OUYA focused apps from the store.
[Ouya Android Development] dibblebill:
And I've had phenomenally bad experiences trying to get apps NOT ported to the Ouya working. Real Racer 3 looks gorgeous... But you can't navigate the menus without a touch screen, for example. There's no controller support. If I could figure out which controller button corresponded to a mouse click...

what version of gta 3 did you install? i tried the latest version 1.4 and got the can't download error when i open it. So i tried version 1.3 and it downloaded fine. Runs great on the ouya!
[Ouya Android Development] dibblebill:
I'll try to track down a copy of 1.3 if I cannot convince 1.4 to function.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] fred114:
I just got my wife and myself the S4, our first Samsung phones. Everything seems to be great, except GPS and navigation. I am hoping I am missing something simple. I did not see this issue discussed in the S4 forums here, actually there was one about just how good GPS is with this phone. Anyhow my problem, GPS rarely locks in when I start navigation using Google maps. It will accurately show my present location, I am assuming it is using the wireless network to show that. But 90% of the times I use navigation, it will not lock at all. I have found that if I go into settings and uncheck the stand alone GPS services box, then recheck it I will get immediate GPS lock and can navigate. Then the very next time I need to use navigation, same thing, no GPS lock. I downloaded the GPS status app and same thing there, will not lock on a single satellite, I do my uncheck/recheck thing, and instantly I have many many locked satellites. Anything I am missing in settings?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have the same issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] SonicJoe:
Works fine for me on stock. I get almost instant GPS lock outdoors. I did have some issues on some ROMs, but I think that was ROM specific, because flashing back to my backup of stock fixed it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] fred114:
Well I am trying to contact Samsung support. See what sort of run around they can give me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ryno77:
I had this problem on the GS3...not sure about the S4 yet. Anyway, I found that turning on GPS only when I needed it and turning it off when I didn't made it work correctly. Obviously this isn't ideal but the GPS was 100% using it that way.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] fred114:
I may have found a fix. I tweeted with Samsung support today. They had me boot up in safe mode. In safe mode it only boots up stock apps, nothing that has been downloaded. Well my GPS worked just fine. So it would seem to indicate one of the apps I downloaded was the cause. So I rebooted and began to uninstall any app I had installed. Every two apps I would check the map, still no GPS lock. I had to uninstall every app I installed. Once they were all off the phone, my GPS once again worked perfectly. So I began to re-install the apps one by one, checking the map each time. It kept working. Eventually I had re-installed every app I just took off. GPS, maps and navigation still working perfectly. My wife's S4 had the same issues, so I uninstalled everything, re-installed it, and her GPS works as well. We decided to run some errands and used the navigation for each stop, worked perfectly.

Don't ask me why, I have no clue, but so far my phone is fixed. Will report back if anything changes.

Oh, and if you want to boot up in safe mode and don't know how, power off your phone. Power it back on, when the first loading screen comes up, press the down volume key until the phone reboots. It will be in safe mode. It will be indicated as such in the bottom left hand corner of your screen.

I hope this helps others and is a permanent fix.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] fred114:
GPS not locking, possible solution.

Ok, well I think I have my problem narrowed down to one app. After deleting and re-installing all my apps GPS worked just fine. This morning I opened up Yahoo Weather for the first time since re-installing. Knowing it used GPS location I checked navigation right after. Sure enough I had lost my GPS functionality. Uninstalled the app, all GPS services came back. Check the same issue with my wife's S4, same results.

I am not saying this is the only app causing issues, but seems to be on my phone. Without the Yahoo weather app, all is good. Which is a shame because I really liked the app.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] salvatorv:
I confirm removing Yahoo weather fixes the issue. Thanks a lot for this solution.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] fred114:
Good, I am glad it help. Not sure if it will help or not, but I did send an email to yahoo support. I am hoping maybe they can come up with an update that will fix the issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] itsdubai:
An easier way of going into safe mode is holding the power button, then when the shutdown menu pops up, hold down the power off button. Might be a little easier :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] edpete97:
Thanks

I've been beating myself up over this. I haven't had the phone a week and thought my GPS was shot. I know this is an old thread, but it fixed me. Thanks again. Darn Yahoo Weather!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] draqRO:
Are there still problems with this? The app received an update on august 15th.

I've tried turning on the GPS and Google Maps works ok for now.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] xLoveHateLegend:
Okay so here's my situation. I had to re-activate my device, and sprint told me I couldn't do it while on a custom ROM (I was on AOKP). So I flashed the Stock Deodexed rom that I still had on my SD for ICS thinking it would work. After flashing, my device wouldn't boot. So I put my phone in fastboot and used RSD to flash the 4.1.2 FXZ. After flashing, I got a FAIL error. Under status it says "Failed flashing process. Unknown fastboot command"

I searched everywhere and I'm coming up with blanks... yes my phone's bootloader is unlocked. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] KitsunePaws:
You need to delete the two getvar commands in the xml file.

<step operation="getvar" var="max-download-size" />
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] xLoveHateLegend:
I did that, then when trying to flash that, I got an error that said

"Error!!!!!!

Failed to create

Please check if the file path is too long to create or if there is enough free disk space."
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] KitsunePaws:
Haven't seen that one, what did you use to edit the file with? What version of RSD?

Here's the one I used a few days ago for 4.1.2

http://www.sendspace.com/file/0nhnof

Replace your xml, reload RSD and try again.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] xLoveHateLegend:
I used notepad. Deleted the whole line (spaces infront of the command aswell) for both commands.

I'm using RSD Lite 6.1.5.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] KitsunePaws:
We're using the same RSD, try the xml I posted.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] xLoveHateLegend:
Thanks, I'm giving that a try right now.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] xLoveHateLegend:
You might've just saved my ass, it's getting further than I was getting with the xml I edited myself. It's at the flash system.img part right now.

EDIT: My phone's booting up and Hands Free Activation is running. Thanks a ton!
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] scuzzy19:
So im having issues returning back to stock its failing at step 18/23 flash system img any ideas?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Which version of RSD Lite are you using? I think 6.0 or even 6.1+ is required...

How long did you let it sit? Do you ever get an error?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] scuzzy19:
i grabbed one from a different source but dont remember where. i ended up getting it working through a different method using twrp. but i was up for awhile lol
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] palmwangja:
you won't get this error with rsd 6.1.6
[Xperia SP General] tiowseng:
If you want your music beat lights to show while your screen is locked, or while you are using another app, do the following:

S1: Open an app that makes a notification appear in the notification bar, for example, the app I recommended above, or Skype.

S2: Turn on your music, then lock the screen - the lights should turn off.

S3: Turn on the screen, do NOT unlock the phone...swipe down to open the notifications panel, then press any other app's notification. the phone should unlock, with your lights still working even if you lock it again or use other apps.

However, lights do NOT change colour...it's locked to the current one. I suspect the Walkman app has to be in the foreground to process the album's dominant colour to display it.The workaround stops when you open the Walkman app. You can change songs from notification bar or lockscreen without stopping the workaround.

Let me know if it works for you or if your phone is locked with a pin!
[Xperia SP General] javidben:
I've tried with the pin lock and it doesn't work. I love doing the walkman + lock thing, unfortunately after a while the color doesn't "beat" anymore, it just stays on without changing
[Xperia SP General] cing229:
Many thanks for your tricks.

From your trick I found an easier way which no need open any app

- Play music -> turn off screen -> turn on screen -> swipe down notifications panel -> select setting icon on top right -> home button (option) -> turn screen off again.
[Xperia SP General] tiowseng:
hmm, wouldn't recommend leaving it on for too long. not sure about the battery drain if you do. I do it just for fun sometimes, that's all. Pretty sure someone can come up with a proper LED control for the SP in future, though it's not a priority. Would like my notification lights to cycle colours and all that without any workarounds :)

Unfortunately I need to wait for a root that bypasses locked bootloader before I can do anything.
[Xperia SP General] javidben:
I had it on for almost half an hour, it didn't drain too much but it overheated
[Xperia SP General] vpower85:
Will using the light effects for long time, say 1 hour, damage the LED lights? I love music beat effect and would like to leave it on!
[Xperia SP General] javidben:
an hour is okay i think, just i suggest you turn off your mobile data and wifi because it'll drain the battery and because it'll make the phone overheat. but just as I have said before, after a while the led lights doesn't beat anymore they just stay on in one mode and stay that way
[Xperia SP General] nixx-X1:
No worries about the LED damage.. they will last longer then the phone itself ;)
[Xperia SP General] CellSmart!:
Easy way of doing it

Instead of doing all this stuff, there's a neat little way by which you can keep the music led's working consuming no extra time.:cyclops:

Install Mini Lock from play store(It's just a 10 kb app!)

Open the app, give it administer priveleges, then slide up from the home screen button as you would do to open google now, But now you will see something different, there will be an option to launch google now or mini lock, choose mini lock and set it default.

Now open walkman, play music and lock the screen using the slide up gesture from home key, your screen will be locked and the music led will be ON!!!

Enjoy!!

I personally want to use my normal GApps account on glass, but google hasn't let us in yet and forces us to use gmail... I'm tired of using two accounts.

I believe we can get other accounts onto glass. This could be done by accessing the settings activity and adding our normal gmail account. the only problem is that there is no native com.android.settings app installed on glass which kind of ruins it.

anyone want to help me with this project??

PS. I'm doing this WITHOUT root/voiding my warranty.

Without root? Most likely not possible because you can't install the package "com.android.settings" without pushing it to "/system/app" on the device I dont' think.

but I believe in a custom firmware can solve this issue perfectly

I've just become the proud owner of an Elgato EyeTV DVB-TV tuner.

I've been looking for a DVB-T tuner that works on a tablet for ages, tried to get one working on my Advent vega, wrecked my linux install on my laptop trying to generate the necessary files, so gave up on that one. Tried to get a tuner for my Sony Tablet S that was promoted in Japan for that tablet, I could'nt source one - very frustrating hunt.

Then I saw a post on here that mentioned the Elgato - did a search on Amazon and ordered it immediately, 4 days later I was watching tv on my Nexus 10 (also my Nexus 7 and my Note 2 - so a 3 way win for me).

The dongle is absolutely tiny, just a bit larger than a postage stamp and plugs in directly to the USB port on the N10.

It comes with a telescopic aerial which gets me all the freeview channels, even in the middle of my living room which is way better then my 7" portable that does not get any channels anywhere in my house !

For situations that require it there is also a cabled magmount aerial included, I've not needed this yet, but tried it in my house and got the same result as with the telescopic.

It also comes with an adapter that allows use with a laptop/PC/Mac so I suppose that makes it a 4 way win for me really.

The software is downloaded as an APK from the market for the Android devices, and is downloaded from Elgato's website for PC/Mac use.

The APK installed painlessly and when fired up, tuned in all the Freeview stations without any problems. Although the software is pretty basic, it does what's needed very well and I can't complain at all.

All in all a very pleasant experience, and I can wholeheartedly recommend this little beauty to anyone wanting TV on the go.

I forgot to mention in my original post that this device is only slightly larger than a postage stamp, tiny and very light.

first of all i'm sorry for this question :wink:

I'm really a beginner in modifying my extended-rom. I want to change my mda to a "xda". i've got the latest updates and some of the software discussed on this site but there is one question left:

Just in case i make a mistake while modifying my (extended)-rom: can i repair everything by simply installing the original update provided by t-mobile??

Thanks for any answers, help, suggestions,...

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] edsub:
Simple answer: YES.

Before you start 'modifying the rom' or 'upgrade' you should make sure you have an upgrade package from the original operator for the rare ocasion you need to go back (then you can upgrade it back to something they will recognize. Imagine how T-Mobile personell will look at an MDAII that has all the O2 stuff on it).

In your case: Make sure you have the T-Mobile 1.72.190 rom upgrade at hand while you upgrade to a O2 rom

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Nosferatu.:
So I'm going to buy a T-Mobile Galaxy S4 tomorrow. I'm locked onto AT&T for a few more months (so I'll unlock this new one and buy it out right). When done I'm going T-Mobile (or Straight Talk).

Either way, there's a ROM developer over there who's ROM I really like that he's developing for the AT&T S4 (ShoStock) and I'd like to know since it's essentially similar hardware should it be a simple flash over?

I'm coming from an AT&T S2 and I know it was simple "hellraising" the International ROMs and they'd work on the AT&T variant. Can we do the same with the S4 (since they are essentially similar hardware minus additional radios on the T-Mobile variant).

Thanks!!! :laugh::good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Misterjunky:
re: AT&T rom on Tmobile

As soon as you get your Tmobile Galaxy S4 Unlocked you will be able to flash the AT&T ShoStock rom without any problems.

It will not need hellraiser or anything else and it can be flashed just like any other custom rom using CWM or TWRP recovery..

The only thing you will loose by flashing any AT&T rom on an Unlocked Tmobile phone is the free wifi calling feature.

All the Tmobile Galaxy S4 custom roms have the wifi calling feature in them.

If you flash any of the AT&T custom Galaxy S4 roms none of them will have the wifi calling feature.
