Hello Vektor. Can I contribute to the project? I don't want credit or money or anything; I just want to lend a hand. I remember you saying making the documentation is a lot of work, and that's right up my alley, so I was thinking I could make it and you could make any necessary tweaks, so if you're in let me know
[Android Apps and Games] vektor88:
Hi jnjjules,

Any contribution by users is surely welcome. If you are willing to make a draft of documentation I'll check and publish it on the github wiki :)
[Android Apps and Games] jnjjules:
Cool. I see you just released the new 2.0 version. I'll get right on it ;)
[Android Apps and Games] s20dan:
Hi,

I've been using the beta and I think the new layout is a vast improvement over the previous versions.

But I just wanted to bring to your attention how the new scrapers don't seem to function as well as the older ones, just in case you had missed this point.

The new scrapers often get stuck on names with version numbers and localisation eg (U), (E), (USA), (J), (v1.0) ect which most roms will have as part of their name.

They also struggle with very slight deviations, for example: Title is named 'Final Fantasy Chronicles: Final Fantasy IV' in the scraper database and any slight deviation from this will result in the scraper failing to find it, my copy is named: 'Final Fantasy Chronicles - Final Fantasy IV (USA) (V1.0).bin'. Even when searching manually it's not until I remove anything different from the name that I get a match. So Even searching with 'Final Fantasy Chronicles - Final Fantasy IV' comes up false. (Have to remove the dash and extra space before the entry is found).

The older scrapers didn't have this issue as most of my Roms ended up with correct metadata.

Although I like how you can manually search for metadata on a title now, that's a great improvement. However I think we should also have the ability to Name the entry ourselves, as multidisc titles usually end up all with the same name. And some roms are hacks and different versions ect, but once the meta data is found the title is automatically given a default name.

I hope you don't think I'm moaning, quite the contrary, this is great software and I don't know why there has never been a program like this before. :good:

Also since I'm using the beta I figured you might appreciate the feedback.

P.S. Very latest version certainly seems to be crashing less, older betas used more memory which my crappy tablet couldn't handle, but so far so good. :good:

Thanks :cowboy:

OpenVGDB download screen frozen

Hello,

I just purchased a NVIDIA shield tv. I downloaded Gamesome from the play store (v1.12 b63) and when opening the app for the first time it says that I need to download OpenVGDB 22.0 and I have the options of No (which closes the app) or Yes.

When I click on Yes, it opens a popup which reads

OpenVGDB 22.0 Download

but it just sits there frozen.

There looks to also be a popup in the background which reads "set an email address for automatic crash reports."

but they both popup at the same time so I can't enter anything before the download screen pops up.

The only way out is to hit the home button. I have tried restarting the unit but the same thing happens.

Is anyone else having this issue?

Edit: I followed the instructions on becoming a beta tester and updated to version 2.0 and everything is fine now and looking good. Thanks!

[Android Apps and Games] kimvette:
Hello there!

I am having trouble getting the platforms set up with the Gamesome 2.0 Beta on my Galaxy S7 Edge.

By "root of internal storage" I presume you mean the "home" directory which on the S7 the virtualized path is /storage/emulated/0, and not the actual root ( / ) directory, which a) would be poor practice b) without rooting the phone I would have no write access anyhow. I've moved the files to the home directory using ES File Explorer. When I open Gamesome, go to "Settings" and then click "retoarch.cfg" to check the application's view of the filesystem, and view the path I do see the "emulators" and "platforms" folders.

However no platforms show up so I click the show/hide icon and they are not listed in that configuration panel. I have made sure that the program is terminated and re-opened it, and to rule out caching issues (although I do presume the cache/buffers have been flushed to disk) I've rebooted my phone.

I have also tried placing the folders at the root of the SD card and of course that did not work, either.

I have also gone to the application manager to delete cache and data files for Gamesome.

Where is the correct path to which these files should be unpacked?
[Android Apps and Games] oceanclub:
I have Gamesome 2.0 BETA - 1604171840 installed, along with Retroarch.

In Gamesome Settings > Retroarch.cfg, I've set it to location of the relevant file.

However, nothing - Platforms, Games or Genres - shows up in Gamesome.

Emulators by Robert Broglia (nes.emu, gba.emu, etc.emu)

I have both the JXD S192 (Android 4.4.4, tested on original and June 4th firmware), and GPD XD (Android 4.4.4 Original firmware) and purchased the Pro license for Gamesome (also purchased entire line of Robert Broglia and Johns Emulators)

I have been using the 1.x version of gamesome with great results. After the 2.x upgrade gamesome can no longer launch a game to any of the Robert Broglia emulators

NES.EMU, MD.EMU, GBA.EMU, GBC.EMU, NEO.EMU, 2600.EMU, PCE.EMU, C64.EMU, NGP.EMU, MSX.EMU. Game some will launch the emulator, but will bring me to the main menu of emulator instead of launching the game like it used to.

Any advise? Known bug? This happens on both my handhelds.

Thanks

Great product. It would have been nice to have known about the big changes before the auto update.
[Android Apps and Games] A7mag3ddon:
That's very strange. I use jxd s7800 and Samsung s5 lollipop with 2.0 and have about 4 of the .Emu emulators and launch fine.
[Android Apps and Games] dotelpenguin:
Fresh install? or updated from 1.x?
[Android Apps and Games] A7mag3ddon:
Both as originally I was on 4.4 then wiped and upgrades to 5.0 3 weeks ago.

Did you remember to copy the profiles to your device and unzip them?
[Android Apps and Games] dotelpenguin:
Everything works up to launching. All the art is there, it's sorted the list. Just when you click on "play" the emulator loads to main screen.

---------- Post added at 12:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:36 PM ----------

AhhHA! Ok the problem is with roms that are ZIPPED. (not 7z) If I unzip them everything works. So the bug would appear to be in the extraction part? hmmm
[Android Apps and Games] A7mag3ddon:
And wouldn't that be down to the emulator? I only use zipped mame roms. All my sets are unzipped.

Picked it up yesterday. Runs the same AT&T with more data (5gb) for 55 a month. I was paying 60 for 2gb. Same exact service and 3 more gb of LTE data then it throttles down to 2G. Unlimited 2G. What carrier are you using?
[G2 General] Gnarfsan:
I have "3", Denmark

Price: 37$/month

Unlimited Voice calls, SMS and MMS

Max 10 GB on any band including LTE. After that speed gets throttled, but I don't have to pay for extra data.

No limit to what kind of service I spend my data on.
[G2 General] cpberndt:
Sprint on a family plan on 5 devices we pay 218 for unlimited data with no throttling, unlimited texting and 1500 minutes to share
[G2 General] DarkH2O:
Too bad AIO went to $60 for 5gb. I was $70 for 7gb when they first started. I thought long and wrong and missed that beginning offer. If you need 7gb now it will cost you $80($60+$10 for each extra 1gb).

Also is it true they limit LTE speed to 8mb?
[G2 General] Robisgnarly:
45 doll hairs a month and unlimited everything, maxed out sprint framily plan FTW :)
[G2 General] osmosizzz:
Solavei here. Unlimited talk text and Web where 2GB is high speed and the rest is 2G. 2GB has been enough for me. Don't have lte yet either but hspa + has been sufficient on T-Mobile towers. I pay $0 a month. Solavei has a referral program and I took advantage of it. Some say it's like a pyramid, I say free service for me lol. So yeah. I've been free for 3 months now. That's how I got this phone. Instead of paying for my bill I'll be paying for the phone only. Btw sprint framily completely stole the idea from solavei lol
[G2 General] itsalexaye90:
If Sprint knew what speed was, it'd be a good option. But 4G LTE with 1-4mbps speeds is really sad.
[G2 General] Ascertion:
This is my speed right now on sprint.

It's totally dependent on location and Sprint will just get better and better.

EDIT: Solved. I re-enabled developer options, saw that "Allow Mock Locations" was turned on, turned it off, rebooted, and it worked. Mods, close if you'd like.

Hello all,

I'm having no luck whatsoever getting MLB At Bat to figure out where my phone is. I'm stock rooted, but had the same problem even when I re-locked the phone. It gets to a screen that says At Bat is having trouble determining my location, so it can't show the game. Things I've tried:

--Making sure location services are turned on

--Using cell data OR wifi

--Re-installing the app

--Fastboot re-installing the latest factory image (which I was already on anyway)

--OEM locking the phone

--setting my location with GPS-Fake

--ensuring via google maps my phone can find itself

--testing my AtBat account on my wife's identical N4

Nothing works. It's like the app doesn't ever do the loc check it says. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

John

Wanted to say thanks to everyone for your support. I really love the XDA community. I finally got my LG G2 today. Solid and awesome. I will be moving along to another thread. Although I have to admit as I was flashing back to stock today and posting my Nexus 4 on Craigslist looking at the pics of the shiny glass back and feeling it all smooth without a case, had to smile and think It's a good phone. Only had it 10 months but wanted a better camera and a better display. A little concerned about the support over in the G2 threads.. Lol. Thanks Nexus experts you rock!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] blinsama:
As title states, replaced everything yet phone refuses to charge or connect to a PC 99% of the time.

I have tried ...

Different outlets

Multiple working android chargers and USB cables

Multiple computers and usb ports

Different batteries

2 OEM batteries

Phone stopped charging one random night, plugged into charger, slept, woke up, phone died and never turned on.

I have been charging my battery through my friends old phone then swapping my battery into my own skyrocket, which turns on so I know the phone works.

For the 1% time that it does charge, I have no idea what happens, but I see that it charges and for ~5 minutes. At this point I don't move or touch the phone at all, I just let it lay there. And after ~5 minutes it stops charging again. (I know it starts/stops because of the tiny buzz it makes)

Anyone have any ideas? Also I am not running a stock rom, not sure if that matters but will try to flash a stock rom soon.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ndttung8487:
First you have to check carefully the battery, does it an original one? Because out there most of the battery for Skyrocket are fake, moreover, battery for our device is the same as Samsung Galaxy S2 HD for korea market. (On our battey, you'll se 4 pins: 3 for battery and 1 for NFC antenna. While the others just have 3 pins)

Flash stock rom using Odin and check again. If it can charge or not

Plug to a computer and check if it charge or not

If all above are failed, possibly the chip which manager charging in your phone is dead and have to replace.

Goodluck
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cheetahcat79:
Hello, newbie here. Not a dev, but I've been flashing roms on my last few phones and I'd like to think i have half a clue what I'm doing, lol.

Was reading through this thread...http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2664652&page=4

I'm currently running CloudyStock 1.0 with TWRP 2.6.3.5. I understand i can keep root by flashing SuperSU right after flashing the ROM, but will it cause problems if i flash any other mods before rebooting (like the walkman mod, for instance)?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcnbama:
So I flashed this rom last night. Works great and still rooted. IMHO since your coming from different Android versions I would not flash a mod in the middle of flashing a new rom.

1. It may not be compatible with 4.4.2 framework etc.

2. Much like you I've been around this for awhile and it seems like with this phone there is no really easy way to get back to a previous version of Android without wiping everything. Upon flashing this rom the Kit Kat version overwrites the TWRP or custom recovery.

Personally I would wait to flash mods until someone cracks this and makes it where TWRP can work with Kit Kat. Which will not take too long I imagine. Xposed doesn't work yet with 4.4.2 missing that... Hope this helps!
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dablakmark8:
Firstly hi to all you clever folks:good:

I dont know what to do now but here is my fault.

1-I flashed a rom kikat to instruction given here,All went well untill the reboot where the samsung logo appears

2-The logo stayed on for 20 minutes and nothing,My battery was 50% at the time.

3-I then loaded my back up from clockwork recovery,rebooted tablet and i was back on 4.1 andriod.

3- i kept getting the 7 error during the the update for the zip.

4-I proceeded to change the file to .doc to take out those first lines,which identifies the product model(i can remember what that was but i fixed it)

5-Now i was getting the 6 error,i then proceeded to fix this via notepad++.(something about changing to hex for unix code)I fixed that

5-while all this the battery was now at 20%.

6-I tried flashing the rom again and this time it worked as all the fixes were in place,as per instruction from the forum:D.

7- the tablet booted up but still the samsung logo was on,Ok i left it as the first boot takes long,The battery was at 15% at that time.

8-I completely forgot about the tablet,as i was busy fixing a ps3 and psp with cfw.

9-I remembered :rolleyes:gawd damnit.

10-Ran to the tablet and saw the tablet off(i then proceeded to put it in recovery mode but alas,all that came up was a battery sign with a loading gif.

11-Now the tablet is dead and it never really booted.I plugged in the usb and instead of charging it shows the battery sign with a loading circle,its as if the software did not complete for the battery monitoring and usb charging.

12-Is there not a way to charge the battery without going via the OS andriod.Is there not a special charging cable that just charge the battery.

13-My tablet is rooted and is modified in everyway.

My solution

Can this work,I take the back cover off and take the battery out,Fine the + and - and connect a 5v charger to these point.....charging it just enough for a recovery process.If there is someone that know of any other way or the battery pin layouts for charging.

Taking it to a repair centre is not an option,even if it still under warranty(my wife will kill me if she found out i rooted 3 tabs in the house:eek:.

I need to fix via incognito .I am good in what i do ,but xda members are good in what they do and far better clued up with these problems.Let me know what you guys and gals come up with...........thank you for reading my plight
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Android-Andi:
Use original charger for the tab - USB-Ports and other charger maybe don't have enough power to charge it, or only charge it slow.

Press the Power-Button ~ 30 seconds to turn it into chargeing mode when it's connected.

boot into download-mode and update your recovery (you need up-to-date-recovery to flash KitKat Roms, else you'll get error7) - link in my signature.

redownload the rom.zip and place it on your MicroSD,

Make a wipe data factory reset, format /system, wipe cache and wipe dalvic cache,

flash the rom.zip

reboot your device.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dablakmark8:
1-the 30 second thing does not work

2-cant boot into download mode ,i have 3 volts left on battery memory,The tab will not respond

3-the status error 7 i fixed last time and status error 6 i fixed

4-I re downloaded the rom:cowboy:

5-Did the factory reset/format/wipe dalvic and flashed the rom last time,The tab will only boot up the samsung sign,then no further.

btw the tab wont charge ,just a battery icon with loading circle.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Android-Andi:
Did you flashed anything else? Maybe broken EFS? If s you´ll stuck at Samsung Logo and System won´´t boot.

Can you reach the device on adb in recovery?

In a german forum i had 2 guys breaking EFS by flashing CWM wich wasn´´t made for Tab 2 :p

edit:

You can boot into download-mode from recovery ;) You´´kll find that option.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dablakmark8:
You know what i opened the tab and charged the battery with 5v usb at 300ma.The tab booted up and i got into recovery(clock work touch mod)

Its so bad luck for me,i had enough power to do a recovery from zip but somehow the sd card wont work,I tried the sd card in my pc and its actually broken,There is no response.

I loaded my back up zip on another sd card,The tab battery is flat now and i am gonna charge it external again for 2 hours,Then go back to cwm and restore to my original rom backup.Will let you know how its going.
