how do u change passward in JB 4.2?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] nimaahmadipour:
I was wondering if any work is in progress to port linux to magician (ie Xanadux for magician).

And if you have a running Linux on magician can you guide me to get it.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] heliosfa:
Wiki should be up to date on the progress -

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Xanadux

Oh, and, posting 2 topics saying the same thing is a bit off mate. Post it once, in the right place, and it will be found and answered
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] nimaahmadipour:
Thanks for your help, but I already knew that. It just doesn't say about the progress of magician very much. I mean it doesn't say whether anyone is working on it or not.

I'm already waiting for an answer.

P.S. After posting in this section, I didn't see my post and the site said that the last post was not mine. So I decided to post in the other section too.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] vnevoa:
I'm also having trouble finding out about the linux progress for the magician... AFAICT the number of people working on the magician is so limited that they don't even "appear" on the net...

Anyway, I found a promising project:

http://userpage.fu-berlin.de/~zabel/magician/README

I tried it, it boots ok into graphical mode, the touchscreen works ok.

There is currently no sound support (with this kernel) and the apps keep crashing on launch (on my device).

But I think it is very close to giving us something pretty good - the GPE desktop is filled with goodies.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] herrhannes:
How did you get the touchscreen to work?

I installed it according to this readme and it also boots up but it isn't usable without working tochscreen.

I have the Qtek s110, can this be the reason?

Did you install the kernel patches? Which versions of the files did you use?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] chris281080:
Works great, just follow the step by step guide and you get a running Linux

The only problem is that there isnt yet a Navigation Software for ARM Linux...

Do I need linux to run on my pc so I can make the 2 partitions?I have tried in a command-prompt from windows but "Fdisk" is not exists...could someone help me to understand these steps...thanks

* Create partitions, for example a 10MB /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2 using the rest:

fdisk /dev/sda

n

p

<default>

1

+10M

n

p

2

<default>

<default>

w

* Create file systems, a VFAT on /dev/sda1 and EXT2 on /dev/sda2:

mkdosfs /dev/sda1

mke2fs /dev/sda2

* Copy HaRET, the kernel and default.txt onto sda1:

mount /dev/sda1 /mnt

cp zImage-2.6.19-hh8+cvs20070111-magician-20070111150939 /mnt/zImage

cp gnuharet-200609162320.exe /mnt/haret.exe

cp default.txt /mnt/default.txt

umount /dev/sda1

* Unpack the GPE image onto sda2:

mount /dev/sda2 /mnt

bzcat Angstrom-gpe-image-test-20070111-magician.rootfs.tar.bz2 | (cd /mnt; tar x)

umount /mnt

Hi, i followed the guide at this page:

-I created 2 partitions, one fat and one ext2

-I copied haret.exe,default.txt and zImage into fat partition

-I extract the linux image into the ext2 partition

but when i run haret.exe and click on RUN button i see that appears the new line "boot MTYPE=875" and nothing else! :( what's wrong????

This image is what i see at the end.

NB: I'm using a mmc card!

I looked then here and i saw that there are new files avaible included the new project OPENMOKO, but before to try these i'd like to get the guide works first!

I tried the rom on a SD, maybe this is the problem.

I forgot to say that the dualboot is not working, i have to hard reset the pohne to get back to wm2003.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] georgewhiteiv:
Okay this is a strange problem I am having. After a newly downloaded app from the Play Store completes the install, my phone automatically slides over to the Google Now page to the left of the main home screen. And then, after I reboot my phone, the new app/s that I have downloaded show up on a new home page to the right of the last filled home page.

This is in contrast to how my Galaxy S4 did things. After a new app installed on my S4, the phone would automatically slide over to the new home page (assuming my other pages are full) and would automatically place the new apps there.

SO I guess my question is, is this supposed to be happening? It seems odd that it is automatically bringing me to the Google Now page and not placing the app icon on my home pages until after I restart my phone.

I hope this question makes sense to someone. Thank you.

What's up everyone! I will be out of my stupid Verizon contract in the next 7 days. I really like the xperia z1 and looking to move over to T-Mobile. I've seen two models available for US the 6903/6906. I found the unlocked 6903 on eBay for about $590 will it be able to get LTE on T-Mobile (Florida area) with no issues? Sony website has it for $630 and I believe that is the 6906? Been trying to wait and see if T-Mobile releases the xperia z1 but they are taking forever!

This is the first time I will be buying an unlocked phone out of contract so I want to make sure I get the right device. Any advice would be greatly appreciated :good:

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Asadroid:
geez stop talking about the display, yeah the viewing angles are not that good, and white balance in some is out, but color and picture reproduction is awesome.

The 6903 works with Tmobile iirc in some bands and it doesnt work on ATT but the 6906 works flawlesly on the USA if i remember correctly.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Destroyedbeauty:
The Z1 is an awesome phone, with great potential, only if Sony fixed the goddamn BIONZ/DRM loss/unlock bootloader/non-working camera issue before the end of 2013..

I am not owning it, have just tested it a couple of minutes and was amazed in the blink of an eye. Buy it, but keep the BL locked until this is fixed by Sony.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stragabenz:
You mean some screens are better than others?

So you think it's worth to just purchase the 6906 from Sony it's like $40 than the 6903.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stragabenz:
OK awesome thanks for the information, so once you unlock the BL (bootloader) you can't update firmware?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Of course you can.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stragabenz:
OK I thought that but why should I wait to unlock BL until sony fixes the issues?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Because if you unlock the bootloader now you will not have a usable camera until you restore your TA backup which relocks the bootloader

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phateless:
If I boot into recovery, wipe cache and dalvik (I fix permissions too, although this probably isn't necessary), then it boots right up like nothing is wrong with no fanfare.

If I'm lucky, this will even persist for an additional reboot. Otherwise on subsequent reboots it just bootloops forever until I go back to recovery and wipe cache/dalvik again, and then it boots right up again. Once into the ROM, everything runs fine, no issues at all.

I've tried rolling back a nightly or two but it doesn't seem to make a difference. Was there some major change in the last few weeks that I missed? How far do I need to roll back to get this to work?

It's my gf's tablet so I don't really want to wipe data if I can avoid it. Was even thinking of dirty flashing up to CM11.

Any insight is appreciated.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] czahrien:
With my phone this problem ended up being using the wrong baseband version for the ROM/kernel that I was using. I was able to fix it by resetting it back to stock using ODIN (tool which can be used to recover Samsung devices) but from the sounds of it you have no such luxury.

Do you have any backups of when everything worked? If not try to find a way to get back to stock however you can. Aside from that make sure that you are using the correct ROM for your hardware.

Good luck and keep us updated.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phateless:
The kindle is wifi only, so I don't think there are any baseband issues. Will update when/if I fix it.

Restoring to stock is a good idea. It's been over a year since this thing was stock, so it's quite possible we missed a firmware update or something.

*unlocks garden gate*

http://gigaom.com/2013/12/10/chrome...player-viki-and-more-with-massive-app-update/

Plex is a great little app but this feature will be rolled out FIRST to premium subscibers.

RealPlayer cloud opens the door to streaming video from their online storage (2GB free - more than that = paid) and is limited to 15 minutes to discourage piracy.

aVia indexes photos on Picasa, Dropbox and Facebook, allowing users to show any of their photos on any of these services on their TV but alas you need to be a paid subscriber for this service also.

Now play podcasts via BeyondPod and enjoy the Washington Post’s PostTV, online music service Songza, RedbullTV, Revision3, VEVO and Viki on your little dongle of delight.

[Google Chromecast] Drizwaldo1:

[Google Chromecast] abuttino:
This is pretty important.. Is there a possibility that someone can release an "emergency" pwncast to get these new streaming abilities? Or does it just have to do with the Whitelist?
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
Only the whitelist.

It's a good point to make that one of the downsides of using a custom ROM/firmware is that updates and such will encounter some delay. After all, people like the folks on Team Eureka are donating their own free time. It's not their job, nor do they work at/for Google (at least not as far as I know), so with the power of root comes a requirement of patience.

[Google Chromecast] djdanska:
Not sure why but all the new apps don't stream to my chromecast. Not even an icon to do it. HTC One. Not sure why,

In good news tho, once we release this new OTA we have been cooking up, there should be NO delay between when rooted users get google served applications.
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
Stock or rooted?

If you're rooted, you'll have to wait for the custom whitelist to get updated.

If you're stock, just make sure all your apps are up-to-date.

Chromecast support in Plex is currently limited to PlexPass members.

Chromecast support in aVia is part of the paid extras (at least that's what the article in the original post says, and from what I can tell so far - free has no Cast icon or option)

EDIT: Hmm... just bought aVia and still can't find the Cast option... might be because I don't have a Chromecast visible at the moment...
[Google Chromecast] djdanska:
2 of the apps i installed had an update. vevo and the PostTv. I switched to another account on the play store and it showed up. So it appears the apps are being updated now.

[Google Chromecast] DJames1:
The Plex support announced so far for early release to paid PlexPass members is currently limited to video, with mention of music and photos to come later. No mention of Plex Channels.

Seen on the Playon.tv site, they will be adding Chromecast support "soon" as well. I've been a lifetime subscriber to playon and it's flippin sweet. Sorry to say but on my i7, 16GB monster of a pc plex still has trouble transcoding (audio/video sync) while playon has always been perfect.

[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
Most issues with Dolby are usually on the Amp side not the encoding truth be told so I believe abuttino is likely correct here.

If the unit getting the Audio is not set, compatible or ready for the Dolby it will just come out stereo...

Doesn't mean the stream is...But as I said check your PlexWeb settings and make sure you turn on Direct Play AC3...

remember Chromecast pretty much plays content in the same way as a Browser would so it's possible that is required.
[Google Chromecast] adrianmignogna:
Can someone please post the current RealPlayer Cloud APK (With Chromecast support).

Google Play says it isn't compatible with any of my devices (Nexus 7 2013, HTC One, maybe because of my Region? I'm from Switzerland.)
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
Not sure what your saying because XBMC IS a frontend, It HAS a DLNA server component already it just needs to be fleshed out with transcoding which can be easily done via FFMPEG the way Twonky does it!...All it would need to do is add a send to chromecast button to the control panel it already has Video setting (plus Subtitles, Audio, Bookmarks Etc there) that could have a switch to send to Cromecast and would just need the appropriate code to send the data to the chromecast which if done the way I expect will use screen mirroring and not the same method that things like Plex and aVia does!

It could also add it to the system settings for Video display if it wanted and add a switch to cast to both Display and Chromecast.

The hardest part in transcoding is making the profiles for the various units that will request streams.

And those XMLs are pretty easy to make considering how many different programs do transcoding right now.

So it's not the big coding task you think it is! They may decide they aren't interested but it won't be because it is too had and requires too much work, Just not what their focus is!

And like I said because anyone can write Services and add ons to XBMC even if it never OFFICIALLY gets Chromecast support someone else might get it done! Even if they just skip the transcoding and require your content to already be CCast compatible (which mine is!)

Thanks guys for all the suggestions. Good to know you all are getting multichannel through to the Chromecast. Must mean I am missing something somewhere but I'm damned if I can see where :confused:.

TBH I don't play multichannel PCM much through my amp (Sony DH520) but have never had a problem recognising and playing correctly any 5.1 AC3 or DTS or either of the equivalent HD 7.1 formats. I've had a trawl through the manual again and there doesn't seem to be anything in particular by way of settings for an LPCM stream. Anyone know different?

Yup, got those set correctly - even the ones that seem like they might not be relevant.

Everything looks correctly set but amp is steadfastly putting out stereo, Grrrrrr. I'm determined to get this working.

Any more ideas?
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
Oh I'm not totally sure if I am or not I haven't really played a lot through Chromecast yet or bothered to look at it, So unless someone else confirms they have got it don't think it's just you....

I did however check the chromecast transcoding profile in Plex and it does have definitions for both MP3 and AAC included.

Nothing on DTS though. So anything that is DTS format may be getting downmixed to MP3...

Could even be how the feature was implemented in the PlexPlayer.

We have to remember this is the initial implementation and while the Profile may be correct the way they did the handing off to CCast may not be.

If someone else is getting real Dolby Surround using Plex player then you can start looking at your own setup.
[Google Chromecast] third son:
Okay so I figured it out. I switched to an ics modem and now my phone works on avia. I will probably go to cm 10.2 and use the same modem.......
[Google Chromecast] Restorer:
If it is going to downmix it anyway then why have that section at all in the app where you can supposedly set up passthrough?

Also something is definitely happening with those check boxes since with passthrough for DTS and AC3 selected there is no audio on the device and with them unchecked the audio plays.
[Google Chromecast] abuttino:
AGAIN!

DTS is NOT downmixed to MP3 with Plex... I don't know how many times I have to say this.

IT IS MIXED TO PCM

From the Plex Media Server in "Settings" and "Transcoding"

[RADIO BUTTON] Enable Media Link down-mixing of DTS audio.

Media Link does not support DTS audio in certain regions. The Plex Media Server can automatically convert DTS to stereo so that it will play.
[Google Chromecast] Beverface:
Plex seems like the ideal solution for me, but I have a few questions/reservations.

I'm hoping that Plex only transcodes when it's necessary, so if the source material is in a supported format it would just be passed along. Can someone confirm/bust this? What if the video is supported H.264, but the audio is not supported by Chromecast - will then only the audio be transcoded ?

Will the transcoding process result in a significant lower video/audio quality on high bit-rate 1080p material? Does it require a lot of resources on the server-side? My NAS/Server has a puny Intel Atom 1st gen processor...
[Google Chromecast] abuttino:
