Mate you've really got me going here, lol.

You mentioned a controller, so could i use a ps3 pad for example? If not, what do you recommend? Also I want to order it today, so where did you buy your minix x7 from?
[Android Stick & Console AllWinner based Computers] Moolok:
I don't have experience on game controllers either. Can't help you on that. I ordered mine from Amazon.de.
[Android Stick & Console AllWinner based Computers] wowandroid:
Well think i've found it! http://reviews.cnet.co.uk/mobile-apps/how-to-play-android-games-with-your-ps3-controller-50004688/
[Android Stick & Console AllWinner based Computers] Moolok:
Great! :)
[Android Stick & Console AllWinner based Computers] Moolok:
I think I might get one of these http://www.mogaanywhere.com/about-moga/moga-pro-controller/

Seems a bit less hassle free than PS3 controller.

Oh, this is the air mouse I ordered http://www.tinydeal.com/24ghz-mini-wireless-keyboard-air-mouse-f-pc-smart-tv-p-91734.html It looks just like this one reviewed with X7 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQ0iSiznwCw&feature=c4-overview&list=UUxQhwuAIoiu534fMo2_20sw
[Android Stick & Console AllWinner based Computers] wowandroid:
The moga controller is great, but much more expensive.

Anyway, I've ran into a big dilemma :(

My living room pc's psu has suddenly blown up and it's taken the motherboard and ram with it :crying:

Now I'm stuck as the minix is great, but no where as fast as the living room pc that I my family used...they used it for word processing, games, hd movies etc so I need a device which can do all that but also be portable :confused:
[Android Stick & Console AllWinner based Computers] Moolok:
Oh, sorry about your loss :(

I quess you need to be looking for a laptop then...
[Android Stick & Console AllWinner based Computers] wowandroid:
I hate laptops mate. Can this minix handle word processing? It says that it's a quad core, but how is it in comparision to an intel quad core?

PS: Are you going for the moga?
[Android Stick & Console AllWinner based Computers] Moolok:
Maybe. I might order it but not sure yet.

I tried Office Suite Pro with X7 but I think MS Office is better for serious work. And there's the problem with printers and Android. Need PC or wlan printer or printer server. Or cloud printer.

Oh ffs :(. My K400 worked on my Galaxy S2, now that is really annoying cause it clearly says it is Android Supported.

damn it, half of my fun is spoiled, im waitin for my device to arrive to me.
[Android Stick & Console AllWinner based Computers] Moolok:
No worries, I got it working yesterday. I used originally a spare Unifying receiver I had but haven't used before. Yesterday I used the same receiver which was connected to my desktop PC and it worked without problems. I suppose the other receiver wasn't "bind" to that keyboard.
[Android Stick & Console AllWinner based Computers] NixZero:
chromecast its not a minipc, its extremely limited and closed down.
[Android Stick & Console AllWinner based Computers] PlutoDelic:
what are the chances that you used the wrong receiver :p, anyway, thnx for the good news, i was about to give my K400 away, i was pissed, cause e smart tv and my consoles support it, hah.

also, this is going to open up Modding those pieces :), im already thinking of gettin a microITX case and introduce some nice cooling for my X7
[Android Stick & Console AllWinner based Computers] Moolok:
Why cooling? My unit isn't even lukewarm.
[Android Stick & Console AllWinner based Computers] PlutoDelic:
no whatsoever reasons to be honest, im not much of a OCer but if the piece is lacking the oomph of proper 1080p screen then i might make it generate a bit more heat. there will be people more crazier then me on this matter.

maybe pack a unified system, my plan is to grab a microITX board anyway to punch some x86 hardware that can be paired with OS X, yes an Apple product :P. Two machines in one would make a nice eye catcher.

just like i said, no reasons :P

I have been looking for an android solution to replace my boxee box for months now.

Glad I have found this thread, will take a look at the more recent suggestions.

Does anyone know if there is anything due to be release over the next month or so.

Im trying to get the perfect setup which will allow me to stream from my synology via XBMC, you tube, netflix and Sky Go.
[Android Stick & Console AllWinner based Computers] Peter Galbavy:
Well, I got my Rikomagic MK802IV yesterday and spent a limited amount of time playing. I upgraded the firmware (a slightly torturous process) and now the shipped "Explorer" will not connect to authenticated SMB share - this is not then end of the world, just annoying. I tried MX Player, XBMC nightly and a couple of other things. In no case was the unit able to provide hardware acceleration with the stock build.

I am going to start looking for decent, non-vendor builds that actually make use of the chipset. Time will tell.

Oh, one "tip". On a real 1080p TV you have to set the Scale to full/100%. The default if about 50% which leaves a huge black border around the picture. Sigh.
[Android Stick & Console AllWinner based Computers] Danwms:
The most promising one im looking at the moment is the MiniX NEO X7.
[Android Stick & Console AllWinner based Computers] Moolok:
Actually I noticed this too with Neo X7.
[Android Stick & Console AllWinner based Computers] Danwms:
Are you happy with the X7?
[Android Stick & Console AllWinner based Computers] Moolok:
Yes! It seems it gets better each day :silly:

Today I downloaded an app called "External keyboard helper pro". It's great. I can now write with external keyboard (wireless Logitech Unifying K400 or just old fashioned basic wired USB keybord). This app basically prevents Android soft keyboard from popping up and it has a lot of regions to choose from. Before I couldn't find Ä, Ö, Å keys from my external keyboard :laugh: That's history now. And it makes for examble writing with office apps much faster and easier. And it's possible to make key shortcuts like Ctrl+M to open Google Maps or such. Great buy :good:

[Android Stick & Console AllWinner based Computers] britoso:
"Null Keyboard" also works for this

I know but I played it safe because I needed local qwerty with Scandinavian keys.
[Android Stick & Console AllWinner based Computers] Moolok:
Do I feel stupid now. All this time I've been thinking my X7 was on 1080p resolution. I checked from settings 1920x1080p@60Hz. It turns out that the resolution was in fact 720p. It's because the RK chip. The kernel the unit was shipped only supports resolution up to 720p. So I flashed FW with Kernel which support 1080p. It's stock. I learned about this by reading Minix forums. So now the homescreen looks even prettier as well as videos. Downside is that the UI is a bit sluggish. It's obvious when dragging & dropping app icons on homescreen.
[Android Stick & Console AllWinner based Computers] Danwms:
Was it sluggish at 720?
[Android Stick & Console AllWinner based Computers] Moolok:
Nope. I haven't done much testing so far since flashing erased all apps and I need to reinstall but I noticed that homescreen is sluggish on 1080p compared to 720p.

I did try one or two videos from streaming sites like YouTube and such. The playback was fine as well as 480p & 720p from LAN share using BSplayer.
[Android Stick & Console AllWinner based Computers] Moolok:
On Minix forums they said X7 will work faster and stable with 720p. So tonight I'll just flash the 720p FW back. Besides my TV where this unit is most likely to be connected at the end of test runs is only HD ready. So 720p is sufficient :D
[Android Stick & Console AllWinner based Computers] Moolok:
Ok, reflashed the 720p FW and ran new version of Antutu. Scored 18.621 points this time. Oh, and on Minix forum they said new FW is coming on September.
[Android Stick & Console AllWinner based Computers] Moolok:
New firmware 005 (2013-09-11) is out. Must flash it later today. Minix Neo X7.

If your device is rooted, u can download sis axis controller and use a dual axis ps3 controller tinplate games.

The MK809 III is a great device. It is a quad core device with 2 GB ram and 8 GB internal memory with an expansion slot. It also has the RK3188 Chipset. The only problem is I've not been able to root it.

One great thing about this device is that u can plug in a powered USB hub in the normal USB and expand your storage. It detects ntfs without any issues.

The stock resolution is specified at 720p no doubt, but you can change that to 1080p in the display settings. I did notice a slight lag while trying to play a full hd mkv movie, but it can manage. 720 files are managed really well.

If you wish to build a movie directory with posters and nfo, download Archos Video player in and install all the codes. U need to pay for it. It rebuilds all your movie collection into a neat directory where u can browse by name, year, or recently added. It downloads all the necessary files.

Ur wifi router need to be real close to ur device in order to get a proper signal. Keep router within 3-4 feet.

---------- Post added at 09:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:04 PM ----------

You can have audio out and mic out for the MK809 III also. All u need is a USB Sound card which cost a dollar or two on ebay. Just stick it in the usb hub.

Oh yes u can also use an usb Web cam... Preferably a Logitech or a Microsoft Webcam.

[Android Stick & Console AllWinner based Computers] readmanr:
With the MK808 when I installed a file manager app, it let me gain root access to the file system, the MK808 runs 720 fine, 1080 is sometimes laggy, would highly conciser an MK908 in the future, after testing OpenELEC XBMC with the Pi.

I want it to go and buy Neo X7 also, however bad reviews all over amazon kinda of stopped my in buying.

they are reffering to it as a "crappy piece of machine" and nothing more

how much of them are truth?
[Android Stick & Console AllWinner based Computers] Danwms:
I have had mine for a week now. There are some slight issues with the firmware but it seems to be improving.

The box as a whole is really good, all apps etc run fine.

The issues are related to xbmc and video but like I said its improving.

I think in a couple of weeks they will have nailed it.

HI there people, just a n00b question, after flashing a custom rom in my i9500 (wanam lite v1.8) i see all my previous configurations, data, installed apps (including bloatware) are still on my phone, is this the normal condition? i mean....when u flash a custom rom previous apps and data keeps on the phone??? or im missing something (like cleaning cache or something)?? i just followed the custom's rom developer guide (download rom, backup current firmware, flash custom rom, enjoy) I supposed a new installation of all system's components was performed when flashing....any info will be appreciated.. thanks

Did you flash via Odin or Recovery?

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chuck Bartowski:
1) Download ROM and put it in the SD card.

2) Make a backup.

3) Wipe Data Factory.

4) Wipe cache partition.

5) Advanced -> Wipe Dalvik Cache.

6) Mount and storage -> Format Data

7) Mount and storage -> Format Cache

8) Mount and storage -> Format System

9) Mount and storage -> Format Preload ( If it is present ).

10 ) Flash custom roms.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tongueofcolicab:
Hi there and thanks,

1) In step 1 u mean Internal sdcard or external sdcard?? (or maybe it doesnt matter).

2) Now if i want to return to my previous rom (the one before wanamlite flashing) If i restore to the previous nandroid backup using CWM recovery after the process u mention (wipe & format) all my old data and apps will be there right??
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chuck Bartowski:
1) It doesn't matter.

2) Yes.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultramag69:
1). It DOES matter... You are wiping internal storage... What are you gonna flash when the rom on the internal storage is wiped with ALL the other Data?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rebel1735:
it a special feature of the ROM ur trying to install..... wannam 1.8 says - no wipe - hence it only wipes dalvik and regular cache - all the user data is preserved, like apps, contact, sms , etc, etc, - you wouldn't even need a backup when moving to wannam 1.8 ROM.

if u want to start from a clean system i recommend using the Super.Wipe (its comes available on the Phoenix ROM thread)

Cheers
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chuck Bartowski:
With Clockwork Recovery you don't touch the internal storage, unless you use "Mount and Storage -> Format Internal SD" ( or something like that ).
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] appimaness:
Unless you really try - you won't format the internal SD with CWM. the clean cache is a command that cleans the OS partition - but if you'll format the internal SD you'll loose all data and apps

infact - what are you trying to do? do you want to completely wipe your device?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tongueofcolicab:
Thanks to all for your answers........finally i perform a new clean installation, wiping all data and cache and formating all the /data, /cache, /preload, including internal sdcard (moving rom to external sdcard first of course) and next flashing WanamLite using CMW.

By the way, i was wonder about i9500 suppose to be a 16 GB (internal memory) phone, however......even with a new clean installation internal memory its just about 8.77 GB, am not talking about free space (wich is 6.9 GB now after clean install), the whole internal memory capacity is just 8.77 GB!!! so what about the other 7.x GB in this model???

Hey guys, I've had my S4 since it was released for VZW in May and I've noticed for some time that when sending/receiving any pics/screenshots to other people via MMS, it isn't clear until you tap the picture and save it to your storage. Any one know why this happens?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ozzzzysh:
The texting app has a built-in picture "shrinker."

MMS has a size limit to messages, so it shrinks them to fit.

This built in "shrinker" (sorry I'm drawing a blank on what it is called) is focused on speed more than quality of the outcome.

I'd recommend finding an app to shrink your photos yourself to prevent the gross built-in one from ruining your photos.

Edit: I never noticed the fact that saving makes it look nicer.. Idk. Good question.

Sorry for the unhelpful answer. haha

So after a crazy toga party this weekend, I thought I'd look like a bad ass and throw my phone against the wall to break it. (I have no deductible insurance so meh, whatever. The females thought I was cool lol). It broke, it's being sent in now. I'm assuming they are just going to give me a replacement for it because the thing is smashed to hell. When I get it I'm assuming it's gonna have the Jelly Bean OTA update already installed.

What hoops am I going to have to jump through to get my phone back to it's previous state:

+Root

+Unlock Bootloader

+S-off

I have tried all the common ways to force a reset. LONG press of the power button by itself, with volume +, volume -, all three, pressing the reset with a paperclip.

I read on another forum that unplugging the battery would reset it but it did not.

I contacted ASUS Support via online chat and was told to call europe or asia support. No online way to get support from the US? EPIC FAIL, at least let me contact them online..

Willing to try to unplug battery and charge it with an external charger to reset it but there are 6 wires coming out of the battery?

Hi guys!!

I really need your help. after unsuccessful attempt to update my HDT with ruu file (dont know which one) it ended up with white screen. i thought no big deal. i ll fix that but after numerous attempts to return stock i realize that something that i do is not right so help me please.

my HD is locked and first i tried to unlock bootloader on htcdev but my hboot 2.00.027 is no longer support as htcdev claims. it needs to be updated.

This is the RUU file that according to my knowledge matches the requirements of my phone but oviously not.

bear in mind iam unrooted.

What am i supposed to do to fix my phone? any clue?

via RUU or .... ............
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anythingbutipod:
If your aiming for a stock rom, Just create a goldcard and try flashing your stock rom.

You can extract the rom.zip file in ruu by

The process:

- Download a RUU from anywhere (you already have one)

- Open/Run the .exe You'll get something like this

- Click the Start button

- Select the Run command and type in: %temp%

- Search for a folder that has a bunch of characters and looks somewhat like this: {XXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXX} just keep on searching in each folder, if you have patience you'll find it.

- And inside that folder should be another folder that looks the same, and has the format above.

- Find a zip file called rom.zip -

-Rename the rom.zip to PD98IMG.zip

If you already created a goldcard. put the PD98IMG.zip in the root of your sd card

Go to bootloader and pressing -volume and power button.

Rom zip will automatically detected and you will be ask to update.

Hope it helps "newbie here" :fingers-crossed:

Hi everyone,

I have recently purchased an XDA2i from O2 and have an ongoing problem.

The unit has been exchanged once already as the original was thought to be the cause.

The VERY annoying problem is that my XDA keeps turning itself off when the signal gets low or is lost?

I've checked the main power save settings along with those in the o2 screen but the unit still does it.

Could any of you wonderful people shed some light on the problem? :?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] HappyGoat:
Moved to the Blue Angel forum (coz that is the correct forum for this question).

;)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] SiliconS:
What do you mean, it turns itself off? You mean the screen turns off, or do you mean that the phone part turns itself off (so that you get the X instead of the signal strength icon)?

How do you turn it on again once it's done this?
