Re: upgrade MDA Pro to XDA Exec works

Excellent! Enjoy!

Ramoray, I'm looking for exact the same thing. Like I mentioned in my previous post I'm in contact with the MS portrait team for that. Concerning MSN messenger I have no clue whether or when they will support it. So, I think MS portrait is our best shot for now.

But maybe there's some application out there that can do the trick already..... be on the look-out ;)

Cheerio,

Scary Stuff

Okay, so i've got my new MDA Pro on the t-mobile UK "web 'n' walk service (40mb internet a month and 200 minutes free to any UK network for £30 a month). Btw - how does that compare to you guys out there ?

My question is - am i brave enough to follow gnuijten's excellent "how to" and go for the upgrade? Hmm, not very and hey it's not anything to do with gnuijten, it's more that i'd like to hear back from some UK subscribers that have gone through this and come out the other side with a smile on their face!

For reference, i recieved my MDA PRO on 24th November and I am running the following:

ROM Version 1.12.42 WWE

ROM Date 08/23/05

Radio Version 1.00.02

Ext ROM Version 1.12.126 WWE

What about language ?

What about GPRS setting?

What if it all goes wrong and t-mobile UK won't help me ?

BTW - Excellent advice on the MDA PRO on this forum - how did this happen soooooo quickly? Maybe you guys got there a few months before us Brits?

Many thanks for ANY info !

Tark :lol:

Re: Scary Stuff

Hi Tark! Well, T-Mobile NL did a better job offering us NON-STOP usage for €9,50 a month! Yep, you're reading it correctly: €9.5!! Though they did narrow UMTS usage to 64KB, but hey the MDA pro can't really hit any higher speeds ;) Thus far I clocked 340 Kbps downstream with it :)

I think you will be helped by one of our posters here in this thread (veletron), who started his own UK thread after completing his upgrade from this thread;

Hope you will get the same succes!

Talking about T-Mobile - MDA Pro phone reception

Hi Guys,

This post is for the people in NL who have an MDA Pro with a T-Mobile subscription.

My experience with the MDA Pro (XDA Exec ROM) with a T-Mobile subscription is pretty poor. The signal reception compared to a Nokia 6210 with Vodafone is appr. 40% lower.

I was wondering if you have similar experiences with T-Mobile.

Thanks.

Re: Talking about T-Mobile - MDA Pro phone reception

In wich way do you mean poor. The signal in general or UMTS. I compared the speed of UMTS tmobile and UMTS KPN and there is a big difference. KPN UMTS is much better. Tmobile capped their speed. With KPN UMTS on my MDA pro I stream radio like hell. NO buffer runs. When i stream radio stations with UMTS tmobile every 4 seconds it started tu buffer.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] stamppot:
Ramoray, its useless to compare coverage between the MDA and the Nokia using different providers. They will have their cell-phone towers in different locations and thus experience different weak spots in terms of coverage.

Best thing to do is to take the T-Mobile SIM and put it into the Nokia. Compare coverage then. If you see a difference their: --> the issue is in the network. If the signal strength is about equal --> the issue is in the MDA.

Also, measure several times, as coverage will vary during the day....

MDA PRO Horror story

I got my sexy sweet MDA pro, and was excited to upgrade it to the newest version of tmobile rom. I did this and it said it went smoothly. Well that was the last time my phone ever worked. I followed many tutorials on how to use bootloader to reinstall the rom---- Didn't work. I tried mtty utility[mauupgrade]----and both Didn't work. Nothing basically works, and my phone is virtually useless. The rom does not load, the only screen that loads is one that looks like if you unplug your tv from the cable. and thats all!!!!

Does anyone know any other utilities to possibly try to reflash the rom???

Hi there

I just updated to 4.1.2 (from sam mobile) and so far is good. I rooted and i wanted to know if there is a good mod i can do to change sms to sent time and remove the mms conversion thingie.

Finally if there is a mod for camera for using the power key as shutter that would be great too.

Thanks

Bump anyone?

I would say after two days of use:

- battery seems to drain fast, phone feels hot esp on wifi near rear camera. just put kh3 modem yesterday for test. Now seems better and idles at 28ºc. On ics i think it was 25ºc.

- there is a little ghosting / pink spot on the camera and would be great to have shutter on power button.

- sms app has the annoying 4 sms to mms conversion and no sent timestamp

Other than that very fast and snappy. No hangs etc etc

If anyone has some apks to fix battery and those two other things that would be fantastic.

I have root, st tweaks and siyahs kernel (ondemand governor) now on.

Many thanks

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CounterC:
Hi gabriolinari,

I am fairly new on XDA but have a lot of experience flashing several ROMs and Kernels (in 2 years I have tried over 50 ROMs).

Concerning your questions:

- Normally 4.1.2 stock Roms are quite good on battery usage. However excessive battery drain can have a lot of reasons. I need more info if you want your problem solved. If you are willing to change ROMs I advise latest Neatrom or Jellysnap 3. Both very good battery life.

- the pink spot has been an issue for a while but I thought it was solved starting from 4.1.2. I'm on 4.1.2 (Jellysnap) and I don't have it anymore...

- here's a link on the SMS app you're searching for: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2231286 (Thanks to the dev!)

There is also a camera app included but it uses the volume keys as shutter, not the power button.

If I helped you, hit the thanks button.

have a good one!

[General Questions and Answers] :
Hi, I was searching for a long time, but can't find firmware for allwinner a20 meanit m759 tablet. After modifying the OS I got bootloop. Please someone help.
[Ouya General] Alexsandra:
I am interesting in OUYA because it has a slim body. I dont want to play video game on it. The only thing I want to do is to play movie. I have a lot of movies stored in my laptop. The current way that I use is to connect my laptop to HDTV by HDMI. Can OUYA replace my current method? I can play 720P movie(MKV or RMVB) on my cellphone(Galaxy note 2). Ouya has the same equipment(Tegra3 with 1.7G). So I think it can play 720P movie smoothly like my cellphone. Did anyone here try playing moive on OUYA?
[Ouya General] darkknight1812:
Yes the ouya plays 720p movies well. I use xbmc at the time. I was thinking about the ouya or the raspberry pi and I am glad I bought the ouya. The ouya, for my use and purposes, is an awesome media center. The internal storage is small but it has a usb port. Xbmc has support for a network attached storage (nas) which is what I use. The ouya also has the added benefit of games. For only $99.99, I recommend the ouya for your current situation. It also has low power usage and it is highly portable.
[Ouya General] nchantmnt:
if you want to use your ouya exclusively as mediacenter you can start xbmc with a autorun-app, don't know what it's called tho.

only culprit is that the button layout isnt quite optimal when using ouya controller but i'm using my cellphone with yatse installed and as a media-solution this couldn't be any better.

not only 720p but even 1080P movies (shared from my nas) are being played like a charm and if you*'e into 3D the ouya should be able to handle most formats, too...but didn't try that, since my tv doens't support it ;)
[Ouya General] Alexsandra:
Thanks for your reply:D. Does ouya support external SD card? Can I install app like YouTube on the ouya?
[Ouya General] Alexsandra:
Ouya can play 1080P movie? It sounds great. My laptop doesn't support 1080P very well. Not smooth. If ouya really can play 1080P movie(MKV) smoothly,it really exceeds my expectations.
[Ouya General] nchantmnt:
i didn't have any issues with fullhd-mkvs yet. for all i know there are some culprits with surround sound, but didn't notice anything major up to now.

you can without any problem plug your sd card reader/usb-harddrive/etc to your ouya. the device will be mounted to /media/usb

if you want you could even use a dvd-drive for your ouya, as long as you are willing to compile the needed module for your kernel.

didn't try it yet, but atrix with tegra 2 was able to do this, so ouya with tegra 3 should be able, too ;)
[Ouya General] uberNoobZA:
Will work fine. Look at getting a flirc device, so you can configure media centre remote to use with xbmc
[Ouya General] floateruk:
Or use Yatse from your phone/tablet which gives you many more controls and features.
[Ouya General] Alexsandra:
I have ordered one from Amazon US and I am now eager to wait for shipping it to China.:D
[Ouya General] Tycho-X:
Hi,

Short answer: Better get an raspberry pi with Openelec.

Longer Answer:

yes, i do have 2 and did use one as mediaplayer using mostly XBMC (connected to a linux fileserver) at my home and using it with VLC when beeing at my girlfriends place with an 2TB HD.

Unluckily i really cant recommend it atm because the XBMC version for android/ouya is still lacking CEC support, means you cant use your TVs remote for controlling it and it cant do AC3 audio passthrough over HDMI (if i remember correctly). The XBMC for android still cant play a lot of movie files my Raspberry PI does play without problems. Therefore it makes a much better media player if its ok for one to not use the most fancy XBMC Skins. (I recommend Bello Skin)

In addition to this the Ouya lacks support for direct flashing and a lot of poeple find the companies politics highly questionable. The not acceptance of the last TOS locked my Ouya Console completely and not just the market. Its softbricked now. It has been sold as an "open" project but turns out to be as closed as "a nuns arse". Therefore its unluckily unlikely that we will see an Openelec port for the Ouya. Someone did port Debian to Ouya so there might be a solution using Debian and XBMC but AFAIK there are not all drivers and libs working atm.

¨

cheers,

Tycho
[Ouya General] nchantmnt:
Dont mean to be rude but i dont think you are objektive here.

I dont know what files you are unable to play but i am using mine a lot for Multimedia and didnt have any issues with audio at all. I know that some special dts Formats are incompatible for now.

Surly there are some things about ouya that many of us don't like but that's not the point here. Some are codec support and cec which are still under construction and might always be, but seriously: raspberry?

I really wouldn't want to have such a laggy interface and long folder loading times.

If you really want sth fully compatible with all major Codecs and cec and so on get a finished product like little black box or sth similar. Else be happy to have sth. to tinker with.

I still hate that dts/multichannel audio ain't working on xbmc, it is worthless to me untill that is fixed.
[Ouya General] danbst:
Losing faith if I'm honest. I have been giving this project my backing because it seemed to have an enthusiastic following.

I'm not sure there is the focus on the issues that matter to ME, I'm not sure how many people wanted this little box specifically for XBMC but I suspect it was a few. I know the DTS/AC3 issue is an XBMC problem and nothing to do with OUYA but the several other little niggles that affect it are not being addressed.
[Ouya General] D3LTA:
I think I am going to sell it, I am done waiting for it.. the time multi audio is comming if it even is comming the ouya will be old. The lack of support and community is the other reason.
[Ouya General] nchantmnt:
Ok what I experienced so far is this :

Normally I have my ouya plugged into my TV which is set up to pass aby audio signal through to my home cinema center via optical output. There I never had any issues up to now. Lately I had plugged the ouya into the TV of our bedroom and with xbmc I get audio issues as well.

But vlc and I guess plex as well are able to play ball those files without any issue.

So i guess it's also up to your setup which audio technologies are supported.

[Ouya General] dalamario:
I use xbmc on ouya and I have dts and DD passthrough at least on my sony 5.1 home theater. It seems that it depend also from your home theater and/or TV as if you connect the ouya directly to TV and TV doesn't have audio pass through, it will work only analog 2 channel audio.
[Ouya General] nchantmnt:
Good to see someone agreeing to my experiences. :P

Gesendet von meinem One X+ mit Tapatalk-4
[Ouya General] Alexsandra:
Really? Xbmc on ouya can decode DTS and output 5.1 channels to home theater? I saw a lot of people complained of decoding DTS failure. Be honest, I am frustrated when I saw these comments, because I just ordered one from Amazon and I have a lot of 720P DTS MKV movies. My original thoughts is that connecting ouya to 5.1 home theater. I did saw ouya can output 2.0 or 5.1 surround sound effects on their website. Hoping XBMC V13 could be more perfect.
[Ouya General] D3LTA:
For some ppl it is working indeed, by switching of amp and turn it on again.

But not for everyone... When I try it I just get same static noise as before...

I never had 5.1 working whatever I tried.

Tried several options in xbmc but it would not change anything
[Ouya General] dalamario:
Ouya can decode DTS mkv, I just tested it and my home theater received a PCM audio stream (analog settings on xbmc audio output) and then tested the same mkv with digital signal pass through to my home theater (digital HDMI audio output in xbmc settings) that decoded it fine.

Only thing is that if ouya decode the DTS signal, I have PCM 2 channels audio, if my home theater decode it, I have DTS 5.1 channels audio (my HT is only 5.1).

For the records, I use xbmc 13.0 alpha6 from july 14 2013.

---------- Post added at 08:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:30 PM ----------

You get static noise because your ouya is passing through the digital signal to your TV or HT to decode the signal. And clearly your receiver is not able to decode the audio stream. You have to change the audio setting output of xbmc to "analog" in order to let xbmc decode it before sending it out to your TV or HT.
[Ouya General] Alexsandra:
Thanks for your detail reply. Can you please tell me the place where you downloaded XBMC you are currently using? It seems that there are two versions of XBMC. One is Android version, another one is Ouya version.

Thanks
[Ouya General] dalamario:
I use the hardware accelerated version of xbmc for android (stagefright).

See the official repository: http://mirrors.xbmc.org/test-builds/android/

Mine is from july 14.

There is also a xbmc version on ouya store, but I do not have tested it.
[Ouya General] Ipse_Tase:
The Ouya store version (now at 12.3.3) has removed DTS/Dolby decoding (licensing issues) - otherwise it's working just fine.

The older version 12.3.2 is floating around for sideloading...does not have the restriction above.

On my setup (12.3.2) the receiver source flip works for DTS once I start the movie...it's not convenient, but it's only 3 clicks of a button.

Question for you dalamario: the Gotham betas, do they show an error for audio passtrough (in System/Audio) as every Frodo I tried?

And I suppose I can't flip between 12 and 13 without a reinstall - PITA to set everything up again or copy the data folder.
[Ouya General] dalamario:
I suppose that the Gotham beta I use do not show any error as I never saw errors coming from xbmc. Which kind of errors do you have on system/audio?

One time I had to uninstall xbmc before upgrading it because the updating was giving me error, but I don't remember if it was when I switched from xbmc 12 to xbmc 13 or not.
[Ouya General] Ipse_Tase:
When I look at the System/Audio page, I see "Error, no device present" next to the "Passtrough" selection. I don't get error messages, maybe should have made that clearer.

Just curious: if you have not installed in a while, how do you keep the size of the data folder in check? Do you run one of those clean-up scripts that wipes out the thumbnails and cached images?

TIA
[Ouya General] dalamario:
My system/audio page is as screenshot below:

I don't run any script, my data folder on data/data/org.xbmc.xbmc is around 100Mb, the one on storage/sdcard0/android/data/org.xbmc.xbmc is around 150Mb, not much to bother me. Perhaps my movies collection is too small to give problem.
[Ouya General] Ipse_Tase:
Much appreciated...I'm actually at work (yeah, I know, I should not be posting on XDA :) ) but I can definitely tell you the 12.3.x screen has a ton of other options/selections.

I might give XBMC 13 a shot after all - I don't remember when it's going in beta/ RC stage.

PS. The thumbs and image cache are mostly from Navi-X and YouTube (i use those daily, unlike my NAS movie collection, for which I set NO THUMBS). Personally I wish there was an option to stop this image grabbing as I usually don't care about movie sheets and or posters.

My XMBC folder in on Ouya is 600MB and growing - I do have a ton of addons.
[Ouya General] rosietastic:
I run a 519r2 StockPlus ROM on the Ouya and with CIFS attach to my NAS to stream HD and SD material with XBMC Gotham (using the alpha nightly builds). These builds include libstagefright hardware decoding, and since 1.0.519 firmware, I can now stream interlaced/non-interlaced SD and HD stuff with no problem.

High Bit Rate 1080p HD material is fine across wired ethernet, but I only have Analog audio output (over HDMI).

Also, the old 'tuxbox' source streaming feature of XMBC works really well (especially as broadcast HD is 1080i format), so I can stream from Linux based Enigma2 satellite receivers.

This is all really shaping up well on the Ouya.
[Ouya General] Tycho-X:
My guess would be that someone is asking if xbmc on ouya is good media-player solution or not. As the sideloaded (read non Ouya version) of XBMC isnt playing a LOT of movies correctly which my raspberries plays without any problems i deem Ouya+XBMC not a proper media solution atm. In addition the still missing CEC support is a killer by itself. And if you use a lean skin for xbmc the lag is absolutely ok (try "Bello" skin or use the stock skin)

Then having to succumb to the most draconic and moronic TOS and company behaviour on the market is a big minus in my opinion too. (i know you can run custom firmware)

See above. I think its a good thing a potential buyer who just wants a good media player solution knows about the current limitations and also about the "non-open" company policies.

EDIT: I forgot to mention that XBMC on Ouya does regulary crash too while my OpenElec on Raspberry is rock solid. And Audio passthrough is not working at all.
[Ouya General] eldon.mcguinness:
I have been using my ouya for about a month as my living room media center, mainly for XBMC but also some lite game usage. As someone mentioned, the 12.3.3 build does indeed disable DTS and AC3 decoding support, but 12.3.2 works brilliantly (if you need the apk pm me). OUYA claims that passthrough support can work and is being worked on, but I don't use a receiver so meh.

As for stability, mine is on almost all day and have never seen a crash to date. I did try the Gotham alpha8 and 9 builds and they seem to work nicely except the controls are a bit lacking and some of the widgets are broken, but this should be fixed in the future from what I understand.

Loving my OUYA, Cheers
