[MENTION=5264432]DroidModderXtreme[/MENTION] and other people interested...

Here- https://github.com/Abhinav1997/android_device_sony_kumquat/tree/carbon4.4 is the device tree for kumquat with editing done for carbon. Anyone can try to build it :)

EDIT- Device tree also edited for ChameleonOS, see the respective branch :)

Nice thread :thumbup: [MENTION=4766488]Abhinav2[/MENTION]

I probably also understood why you get all those bugs :

1. Is the tree uploaded on your git really the one you used ?

It's stranger . I can prepare a working and nice tree for nypon foked from LX's one ;)

---------- Post added at 01:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:34 PM ----------

EDIT :-

make: *** No rule to make target `system/media/bootanimation.zip', needed by `/home/gava97/out/target/product/kumquat/'. Stop.

My kumquat.mk is fine and bootanimation's directory is listed to "vendor/carbon/prebuilt/common/bootanimation/480.zip" :eek:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Abhinav1997:
Yep that's the tree I used. I'll try to fork the tree from LX2012 and create a new tree for nypon. But the link I gave above was the one for kumquat forked from XperiaNovathor, the one Gava97 uses :)

And as per the error is concerned I also got it. What I did was just copy the zip file to system/media and rename it to bootanimation.zip

Since you are using a server just type this in the command line when you will be in your source folder-

cp vendor/carbon/prebuilt/common/bootanimation/480.zip system/media
mv system/media/480.zip system/media/bootanimation.zip

Compile again and you should be good to go ;)

BTW I'll recommend a clean re-build but rest is up to you :D

Worked fine. Thx so much mate :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] DroidModderXtreme:
Sorry for double post.i'm not home. Abhinav can you share the bootable recovery u used?

As probably you had,i'm having tons of error related to bootable recovery. BUt everything is patched :(

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Garcia98:
Have you used the bootable recovery patch of [MENTION=5265970]95A31[/MENTION]?

Check this thread :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] DroidModderXtreme:
Yep,and everything got patched fine without errors :/

Gimme about an hour mate....I'm fixing my PC...sorry :(

AJ
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] DroidModderXtreme:
No problem mate ;)

Take your time :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Abhinav1997:
My github unfortunately has some clashes with the public key so I zipped the recovery folder - https://www.dropbox.com/s/4iygaunqcalo7xq/recovery.zip Just unzip and place in bootable folder :)

Also I'll fork the recovery and manually update the stuff from the website if the problem isn't solved.

Best of luck mate :good:

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] DroidModderXtreme:
Mate i mean in github. In server i cannot move folders lol,just git clone them
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Abhinav1997:
Yep I thought so...but you can always wget and unzip then move? If you want I can prepare a command list since it may take a while to solve this prob :(

Another Error 1 compiling CM11

Hi guys,

I'm getting this error when I try to compile CM11, I have applied all patches.

It's obvious that something is going wrong with cm_strings.xml.orig, maybe deleting it will be fixed that error?

If I'm not wrong .orig files are just backups of diff tool, so I won't get any strange error if I delete it, will I?

Thank You :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Abhinav1997:
One of your patches(most probably framework_base.patch) failed at one or the other point. Try manual patching :)

Or try replacing all your patches with these - https://github.com/95A31/android_hardware_semc/tree/cm-11.0/patches

Delete the following folders-

bionic, bootable, external, framework,hardware ,system, packages from your source, re-repo sync and then apply those new patches( thanks to [MENTION=5265970]95A31[/MENTION]) just to be on safer side and then try...

If there's any confusion, if you have ssh set on your box, I can help you via ssh remote control or team viewer whichever is good for you :)

[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kierless:
I just flashed a custom ROM on my LG G Pad.

I wanted to go back to the original LG ROM, since I miss all those Lg apps. My mistake was that, I only backed up the boot and system for the original ROM. When I tried to restore that certain backup, it gave me the bootloop.

Any advice? Or am I stuck with this? Or also, would it have been possible to go back to the original rom if I did the backup right?

[M.O.J.O. General] woozle:
I get why we've ended up with this issue of so many games and apps not being compatible, but is getting the manifests updated really the ONLY way to solve this?

There are plenty of other devices - android sticks in particular - which don't have touch screens either, and yet they have access to far more games and apps on Google Play. I assume they're claiming they do actually have a touchscreen.

Is there a simple way to tell if they are doing this? Is there really a good reason why we can't just have a software update for the MOJO so that it does then look to the Google Play store as if it has a touch screen? That would really solve this problem instantly.
[M.O.J.O. General] Dead-neM:
Mad Catz have to work on it really fast or the mojo gonna go into a trash !!!!!

yes they are a lot a very lot of game that are not compatible and the only way to make it work is to use tincore keymapper but the app require root !!!

i love this device but i'm really disgusting of the mad catz work
[M.O.J.O. General] paulatz:
Or they could just release a way to root the mojo, which will allow us to apply a 30 seconds fix and then install anything directly from the play store (and hide those damn navigation buttons)

I still have 3 days before my return period expires and I'm strongly tempted to do it.
[M.O.J.O. General] Dead-neM:
Yes root is the solution for everything on this thing

Is a MCZ staff member who know how to root it ???
[M.O.J.O. General] woozle:
It might be AN answer, but it's not the answer. I don't want to root my device, thanks, and I shouldn't have to.
[M.O.J.O. General] ExtremeRyno:
If we get root, we can fix all the issues in minutes. Seriously, that's the only thing holding the MOJO back from being perfect for me. If I had root, I would fake my device, download all the apps I've spent hundreds on, use tincore, and just have fun playing....Like I thought I would be able to do out of the box.

However, if I wasn't knowledgeable about root or familiar with Android....I would have already returned the system as broken. I still have until Tuesday, next week, to make that decision.

Best course of action for MadCatz is to ship these pre-rooted and have a HUGE update and make HUGE announcements and do some HUGE advertising.....Otherwise, I'm really afraid the MOJO will flop in a HUGE way.

Lets just pretend we're all the BETA testers.....Real release to general public hasn't happened yet.

That sort of makes me feel good, but I still think everyone with a current firmware edition MOJO should get a Google Giftcard for all the stress and trouble we've had.....as BETA testers. :) HA!
[M.O.J.O. General] woozle:
Right... name a company that sells android products rooted? As in a 'proper' company.

There's a reason why they don't, and fixing this shouldn't take root. If you want root, fine, but that's a different point.

I'd still like someone to answer my question about why other similar devices DON'T have the touchscreen issue.
[M.O.J.O. General] Dead-neM:
In fact it's explain by Mad Catz that the most of app have a line code who look like that "device.have.touchscreen=True"

And inside mojo there is nothing tell the google play or app that the device have a screen so you can't see them

The other device (tv box, chinese thing) probably fake a hd screen into the system
[M.O.J.O. General] ExtremeRyno:
No, I get what you're saying...The MOJO should just WORK the way it was advertised. Fixing it shouldn't take root, you are 110% correct.

However, I believe one of the selling points of the MOJO was that it is supposed to be (as implied by MadCatz on various occasions) unlocked, open, and hackable. :)

As for the touchscreen issue, MadCatz has stated something along the lines of releasing all their specs to Google so the MOJO is a Google Certified device, or some such, which I assume includes that the MOJO doesn't have a screen. Plus, what Dead-neM mentioned.
[M.O.J.O. General] woozle:
Yes, and I already said that in my original post. And my point was why can't Madcatz do that too? There are plenty of Google certified devices that don't have this problem, so I assume Madcatz haven't tried.
[M.O.J.O. General] Dead-neM:
Yep it's look like they made a noob style console :)
[M.O.J.O. General] paulatz:
I just noticed that not even the games in the tegra store, which are explicitly marked as "controller" are not installable. seriously, this is a scam pure and simple. you cannot commercialise something as having access to the entire play store, and then it only support 5 apps out of several millions. even my old Nokia has more games than that s supposed console.

release an official root NOW and it may be saved, still overpriced for an unfinished piece of cheap crap, but at least working. at th moment it's just a glorified dolphin browser set-top box
[M.O.J.O. General] Mad Catz Rich:
To do things officially and properly we have to run M.O.J.O. through Google's certification processes, which means we can't claim we have a touchscreen in order to get around the content filtering on the Play store - the CTS test procedure will include tests for every hardware feature you declare and include actual tests for each component. If we declare we have a touchscreen then it will attempt to display an image on said touchscreen and expect some human interaction to confirm it's working. Clearly that will fail at that point and things could go no further.

There are plenty of the controller enabled games in Tegrazone that work fine (and more besides - check the list of games on mojo.madcatz.com). Of those that aren't, both Nvidia and Google are working with developers to change things on top of the efforts that we've been making. Seriously, you will see more and more titles being updated to include support over the coming weeks and months, plus other updates from us that I can't reveal right now.

In the meantime, if you see an app that you think you want on M.O.J.O. then tell the developer and us - we have an email address for this very purpose and it's in the manual - gamesupportrequest[at]madcatz[dot]com.

This is a new category of Android product and support for it is only going to increase this year so keep watching and we'll make sure we keep you all updated with anything new that occurs.
[M.O.J.O. General] Dead-neM:
Ok if you go into this way i think you will got into the wall !! I'm sorry to say that but nobody is happy by the mojo on this forum list of app that are compatible is ridiculus!; come on guys listen to us

Make a tool to root the mojo or a big update in the month and let the fan service do their job until you see your mistake !! dam
[M.O.J.O. General] woozle:
And you couldn't respond to that test with mouse input or the controller then? isn't that the point? surely the other methods of input are meant to cover this. You say this yourself in all your marketing blurb - you specifically use the example of Angry Birds and say the controller achieves this.

As for what apps - ok, all of them then? seriously, as the other guys have said, that's not workable. I won't know what app I want until I've tried it. That's HOW this works. Some people not even have other devices - weird as that might sound - and if they can't use an app on MOJO they won't.

The product is OUT now. I just saw it on the shelf in Selfridges. People aren't going to expect to have to wait weeks or months to use apps that they can already use on all their other android devices. Seriously, I've held back so far but I AM hugely disappointed that this is in such a bad state. I've sideloaded some apps, but there are just so many - all the protected apps, and I've bought loads of them on my other devices - that I just can't do that with.
[M.O.J.O. General] ExtremeRyno:
I've used AppMonster to rip a large number of protected apps to sideload to the MOJO. It's inconvenient, but it works. Most of them give me an initial "License Check Failed" the first time I load. I open Google Play, and that clears up.....most of the time. The apps I was unable to get to pass the license check, even after loading up the Play store, I was able to use by selecting the app from "My Apps" and using the "OPEN" button within the Play app. That's the only way I can get PPSSPP and FPSE to properly run.
[M.O.J.O. General] woozle:
But FPSE is available on Google Play for the MOJO, and loads without issues, so I'm not sure what you mean...
[M.O.J.O. General] ExtremeRyno:
With FPSE, I kept getting license errors (and yes, I downloaded directly from Play to the MOJO) but had to open through the Google Play store. Other apps, such as Horn and Paper Monsters which I sideloaded required opening the Play store before I was able to use the games.
[M.O.J.O. General] woozle:
Hm, and there is actually some quirk with Google Play anyway - Riptide 2 refuses to do cloudsaving, insists it needs an update to Google Play Services. Indeed, the version of Google Play Services on there is far from the latest, but I don't know how to force it to update - a number of the Google Play components are older... none of which is likely to be helping.
[M.O.J.O. General] Dead-neM:
Hi yes the reason is the google play services said is the latedt version but is not search on xda for the real latest
[M.O.J.O. General] woozle:
Yes, I can get them off other devices anyway, but I don't want to get into manually updating everything on an ongoing basis...

[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] samarunirman:
Hi,

I've bought a Sony Xperia Miro about a month back and I've been using it without any problem until last week. :(

Problem is that The volume button is spontaneously getting increased with a 'ding' sound without even touching it 4-5 times for every 10 seconds. I've removed the back cover and used it for few hours thinking that the cause is a tightness level in the back cover but I started to get the 'dings' in that state also.Sometimes the same happens with the power button on top of the mobile, I can't turn off the display by pressing the power button and again I'm assuming that the power button also is suffering from the same thing as the volume button.

I bought this mobile from Dubai and I'm residing in Sri Lanka. This has put me in a very difficult situation. :( Please help me with a convenient solution about this.

Thanks for Reading and Helping

Please help!

It is a month or two now that I can't update any paid app, as the APK sent is invalid!

I have the latest Play Store and Play Store Services apps on SGS2 v4.1.2 stock rom.

I tried deleting both data and cache of both, I uninstalled the old app and also tried downgrading both Play Store App, but nothing worked.

I found that the APK files I receive for paid apps are not standard zip files, they seem corrupted or encrypted: can this be?

Can anybody Help?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Modding.MyMind:
Uninstall the paid app. If you actually purchased the app from the play store then its yours and you can reinstall it. Doesn't matter if the app was initially corrupted during its first download or not. Google keeps record of your purchases based on your Google account. You could even wipe your device out, restore it with a clean backup and still redownload all your apps.

If this isn't the case for you then sorry but you cannot be helped because your "paid app" is third party at this point - or in lamen terms, warez.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pdario:
Nope!

The case is: I paid and installed app months (or years) ago; I've always been able to update from store with newer versions; it is some months now that every paid apps come down as a corrupt (or encrypted?) APK: I can't open them as zip files. And this happens with ALL and ONLY paid apps!

If I uninstall them, they come down corrupted again and do not install!

I would have lost them if it wasn't for Titanium Backup...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the_pirate_predator:
Solution

I think you cleared data and cache in the settings.

As you say, it didn't work in settings, you have to go to android recovery mode to clear cache.

I don't own this device. So I can't tell you how to enter recovery mode. You can Google it.

Once you enter recovery mode, there will be an option to clear cache. It clears cache of all the apps.

If you want, you can use custom recovery modes to clear cache.

After clearing it, reboot system and then try again to access.

Hope, it works.

Press thanks if I have helped you.

---------- Post added at 02:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:57 PM ----------

Downgrading Google Play app doesn't solve the issue in any way. It may complicate the issue even more.

The apk files will be encrypted as it is a paid app. I suppose.

Someone correct me if I am wrong.

I didn't say I can't clear cache, but I tried in recovery anyway and... it seems it worked!!!!

I can't fully answer your question, but I received my XDA Exec last Friday from O2 and it came already unlocked (I'm using an Orange SIM in it).

Can anyone else confirm theirs came unlocked?

But will i be able to unlock the phone from Greece?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] xanth:
Sorry, I don't know, you'd have to ask O2.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Looter:
That's what i also knew but then i saw this in ebay and now im confused. I need to be 100% sure that the phone must be unlocked or easily(and free if possible) unlocked.

Thanks for answering anyway.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] chrispy:
I haven't heard of an XDA Exec that is locked yet to be honest. Also, i'd be a bit wary of buying off E-Bay. If the seller decides to change carriers you could theoretically be left with a dead phone if the contract isn't paid up.

The offers on there are tempting but I phoned 02 to get mine and they've given me 800 free minutes a month on a 12 month contract. I realise in Greece this is of no use to you but I mentioned it just in case and UK residents are looking at them.
