[Shield General] rushless:
The big issue is people are reporting zipped roms have issues as well as saves. A nice thing about the emulators is a resume mode that is relative to the rom folder. Since I have a bunch of roms, not practical to use internal for that. For people that say "Just leave all roms unzipped", that results in on average at least three times more storage space being needed. Even worse for PSX games, since in compressed PBP mode, the games average anywhere from 15MB to 600MB. In correct PSX image mode, a 15MB game is 700MB. Big difference.

Anyway, not a hit on Nvidia, but is with Android. The emulator issue is actually pretty bad to me, since results in game going from smooth to sporadic stutters with 4.4, depending in part on control pad use. Smooth to not smooth is not a good option, IMO. Kind of like using an old Tegra 2 again for emulators. Tegra 2 had some throttle issues, but not due to the OS. Tegra 3 (not Tegra 2) with my Excite 7.7 is smoother with most emulators than Shield with 4.4.

Added: I also have a S4 and Note 2014 and am leaving those on 4.2 as well. Not sure if the emulator issue is Shield specific, but do know the card write issue for all devices. 4.2 does what I need, so no desire to update and then have to go through the trouble and brick potential with rooting. Yes, this is an ironic perspective for an XDA forum.
[Shield General] hexitnow:
Hmm thats odd i havent had any troubles with zipped roms on any emulation app. And i have a few. As for the sony pbps i hear you there. Its ridiculous how much filler are in those, i use to rip psp and psx games.

The shield is nearly unbrickable its almost ridiculous how well they did with that. No need for root to go back and forth from system firmwares, but you do have to have an unlocked bootloader which voids warranty although i had to return a rooted unlocked shield and they didnt give me any guff. Not trying to say upgrade to KK but i will say its not as bad as you think.
[Shield General] stylesclash88:
N64 emulation is superb? Mupen has a lot of N64 games which it cant handle. Granted I know this is an emulator issue, and not an issue with shield capability, but its still disappointing that android emulation hasn't advanced further.

I've read reps from Nvidia stating how surprised they were with emulation being such a popular feature with the Shield. Would it be illegal for Nvidia to work and release emulators, designed exclusively for the Shield, which emulate N64 and Dreamcast games? Considering Reicast and Mupen are allowed on the google play store I don't see why Nvidia can't release their own emulators.
[Shield General] rushless:
I always thought the roms unzipped into RAM and there was no writing to the card for this process, but reports are some emulators have issues (saves being a key). MAME writes into it's parent directory and no special path can be created for the Android version. Given the 10GB size of my MAME roms, internal storage is not an option and losing settings for roms would mean redoing the settings every time the game is played. No thanks :silly:

As far as N64, I am referring to the control use with games. The PC version is about the same as far as what works, but using certain video plug-ins with Mupen makes a huge difference it what is playable. Mupen plays more games than N64oid as a result.

Going back to zipped file sizes, same thing for PSP, but not as big a ratio. ISO files on average are 50% bigger than compressed CSO files.
[Shield General] aDigitalPhantom:
For me shield = massive paper weight

None of the games I would use it for on PC or android support it.

I just got my v500 and rooted/flashed kitkat (Mahdi Rom) and I was wondering if anyone figured out a way to get apps to SD on the device. I tried the kitkat SD fixer first. When that didn't work, I tried link2sd, which despite trying multiple different file systems, I could not get to work completely (wanted to move app as well as app data). Then I tried foldermount, which works for individual files/folders, but when I try to move android data/off it just tells me to use a sub-directory.

So I was just looking here to see if anyone has managed to do it and how.

Thanks

EDIT: reposted in Q&A as this is the wrong place. Sorry folks
[G Pad 8.3 General] viper74656:
You're trying to actually install apps on your sd card, not just save space on your internal? I don't know that any apps still give that ability? I too use folder mount to save space for my big game files but the app itself is still installed to the internal.

Apologies if this is in the wrong place...

Got the Firetv a week ago and have been playing around with it. Wanted it basically to play my movie collection from my PC over the network. I'm doing it with an xbox 360 right now but as you know the interface is....basic.

So FireTV is connected to my Pioneer vsk1120 via HDMI. I rented Walter Mitty from Amazon and it played fine and receiver indicated Dolby Digital Plus on the display the sound was good.

I loaded up XBMC. Pointed it to my PC and movies. XBMC is cool as it tell me the codec and audio it is. So I start Oblivion, receiver says Stereo. If I play it back via xbox, receiver will say Dolby Digital.

So Firetv only output digital on amazon content or any idea whats going on here?

TIA,

Hi.

I have this:

Model: NOTE 3 SM-N900W8

Android: 4.4.2

Base:

N900W8UBUCNA2

KNOX: 0x0

And I want to update to this:

Model: NOTE 3 SM-N900W8

Android: 4.4.2

Base:

N900W8UBUCNC1

KNOX: 0x0

I already downloaded the Firmware from SamMobile:

Model: SM-N900W8

Model name: GALAXY Note 3

Country: Mexico (Telcel)

Version: Android 4.4.2

Changelist: 922105

Build date: Wed, 05 Mar 2014 06:14:01 +0000

Product Code: TCE

PDA: N900W8UBUCNC1

CSC: N900W8TCECNC3

MODEM: N900W8UBUCNC3

And the only thing i need is to know how to Install this Firmware. I have some bugs with my actual Firmware:

1. The adjustment of brightness (i just can set in automatic or a specific brightness, but can't adjust the automatic level, more or less brightness).

2. Limit of data usage, I can't set a limit, is stuck in 100 GB WTF!

Will I lose "Root"?

And that's all folks!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
No if you flash the stock rom with Mobile Odin (Pro) and you will keep root. Enable inject: Everroot, superUser and Mobile Odin and flash the firmware (need to flash custom recovery though). Yes if you flash with PC Odin, then flash recovery and reroot afterwards

Thanks!

I got TWRP installed, can I do it with it? If yes, how?

I don't have Mobile Odin (Pro) but, can i use PC Odin and flash the new firmware? I suppose that later I will have to install SuperSU with TWRP or with PC ODIN.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
You can only flash .zip files with TWRP or CWM, tar/md5 files have to be flashed with (Mobile) Odin. I would strongly recommend using Mobile Odin, its a valuable app for Samsung phones that will benefit you for a long time. There are multiple tutorials on YouTube for how to use Odin and Mobile Odin.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oabareload:
Yeah!

Ok. I will consider your recommendation. But in the meanwhile I share you the file I got. Is this useful with TWRP, PC ODIN or only MOBILE ODIN?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
1. Open PC Odin

2. Flash the rom with PC Odin and reboot

3. Place superSU.zip on the sdcard.

4. Go into download mode and flash the .tar file custom recovery with Odin PC but uncheck autoreboot

5. After the flash pull the battery and reinsert after 10 seconds and press volume up + menu + power and you`ll get into TWRP and flash the superSU.zip and you`re rooted and reboot.

Done!

I've done a bunch of searches here and on Google. If I've missed the obvious please let me know.

When my phone is connected to my car stereo via BT and I get a phone call the car speakers "ring". No matter what source I'm listening to on the stereo. This is normal and expected.

I would like other notification sounds to act the same way. Facebook, SMS, Gmail, etc. I want the car speakers to transmit this sound. Even when listening to the radio, or XM. They will do it if listening to BT audio, but not without.

It's probably not possible, but I've been known to be surprised before. I've checked XDA, Xposed, Play Store, and Google.
