One last update for the night: I got Portal: Prelude as bug-free as it gets. We are doing some more testing and I, personally, am planning on a release tomorrow. :)
[Shield General] Mexican Pygmy:
Cool, cant wait!
[Shield General] r3pwn:
Portal: Prelude

Introducing the mod that really needs no introduction. I don't really want to give away any spoilers, so I'll try to keep it short and to the point.

Please note that I did not make the mod, only ported it to the SHIELD. You can find the original mod at http://www.portalprelude.com/.

I would recommend having an extra 2gb of storage space available on your SHIELD's Internal Storage. The download itself is 826mb and the installation itself is even larger. Alternatively, you could download it to your External SDCard and only extract it to the portal folder, which would save you some internal storage space.

INSTALLATION:

- Download this file: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23622183712467400 (MD5: 66b202ac3fe296e062de8690b279abc2)

- Follow the guide at http://r3pwn.github.io/sourcemodding.html from "What to do?" downwards. (Use the instructions for Portal modding, obviously)

- Shoot me a PM or a Hangout telling me what you think of the port. :)

As for actually playing the game, I wouldn't recommend it unless you are REALLY good with Portals. It's pretty difficult. It had me mumbling profanities to myself on Test Chamber 1. If, however, you need a walkthrough, they are available at http://www.portalprelude.com/walkthrough.php.
[Shield General] Wicher050:
You rock man! Another question: i saw that the early version of gmod i believe it was gmod 10 is an mod you can apply to half life 2 or other source game from valve might this also be possible to be ported?
[Shield General] r3pwn:
I do not know. I haven't looked into it, but I have a feeling that it will not work. Plus, controls would suck.
[Shield General] Mexican Pygmy:
Awesome, if only i had a bigger sd card
[Shield General] dude52:
Well im looking foward to that automatic patcher application cause im lost lol
[Shield General] r3pwn:
If you want it really bad, you can download to your computer, extract it, then adb push all of the files to your shield.

---------- Post added at 06:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:41 PM ----------

If you can just put the files where they need to go, I can easily provide an application to just fix permissions. A full-on patcher would take more work.
[Shield General] dude52:
i followed where to put it, i don't know if i should have the original portal game downloaded for it, i do just incase but my portal isn't in data/data its in android/obb
[Shield General] r3pwn:
Yep, that is correct. Just clarifying, all of those files were extracted to /data/data/com.nvidia.valvesoftware.portal/files/portal? Then just fix permissions and you'll be all set. If you need, you can send me a Hangout and I'll help walk you through the process.
[Shield General] dude52:
ok cause i kinda do need the help https://plus.google.com/hangouts/_/gw6v3rrqtjbe3w6zwnxzqhmciea

Episode One

It's working, but it seems to have some script problems (Alyx doesn't reprograms rollermine in chapter 1, for example).
[Shield General] Sanmorin:
Can you make video of gameplay? And what about frame rate in comparison with HL2 and Portal?
[Shield General] pipyakas:
Is there any possibility to port l4d?

And also, the frame rate in any other port is gonna be bad like hl2 ep1 is it?
[Shield General] legofan623:
If the bad frame rate you're referring to is from the tutorial video, that was just the recording software, it's not actually that bad. And porting left 4 dead is way out of our reach right now unfortunately.
[Shield General] kron123456789:
Unfortunately, I don't have a Shield and I launched Ep1 on Nexus 7(2013) using GLtools. And i don't have a device that can shoot video with proper quality((

Frame rate is about as bad as in original HL2(maybe a little lower). On Nexus 7(2013), of course.

But still, I think that script problems outweigh fps problems.

Just tried HL2: Lost Coast. It's working normally, without any script issues. Even dev comments(without subtitles though) and in-game benchmark are working.

Device is Nexus 7(2013). In-game benchmark result is 8.61fps :)
[Shield General] Mexican Pygmy:
Just a bump.
[Shield General] legofan623:
Patience young padawan, we're working diligently :)
[Shield General] r3pwn:
Should I tell them or have it be a surprise?
[Shield General] legofan623:
Eh go ahead
[Shield General] r3pwn:
A little teaser to hold you guys over...
[Shield General] kron123456789:
A Black Mesa mod? Are you serious?:good::fingers-crossed:

Isn't it require Source SDK Base 2007? How can it work?

But even if it works, it's still take 7GB(AFAIR) of storage on it's own and with HL2 cache it takes over than 9GB.
[Shield General] legofan623:
True unfortunately. We're currently looking into launching from external storage though.
[Shield General] kron123456789:
That's great and i wish you luck with that :fingers-crossed:
[Shield General] Mexican Pygmy:
Maybe directory bind or folder mount would work, i use it for gta sa
[Shield General] kron123456789:
I think not, because all mod files are installed to system storage(/data/data/***/files to be exact)

Sent from my Nexus 7
[Shield General] Mexican Pygmy:
Well i know directory bind can navigate to system directories, not sure if it works yet but ill also have to try folder mount
[Shield General] r3pwn:
Quoting all of these, I do have it running off of my sdcard. :P When the mod is done, I will make a guide to install mods to the sdcard as well. :)
[Shield General] kron123456789:
Cool!

BTW, did you check those script issues in Ep1 that i mentioned on previous pages? Or I'm the only one who have them?

Sent from my Nexus 7
[Shield General] r3pwn:
I didn't see them, but I don't have EP1 anyways. :/
[Shield General] legofan623:
I've been looking into it and it would require re-coding a part of the Source engine on the Shield. I'm trying to get a hold of Valve to see if we can get either more access to the code, or if they can fix it.
[Shield General] legofan623:
Just posting to remind everyone that the project isn't dead, just slowed down a lot. Still waiting on Valve.
[Shield General] r3pwn:
And also a small update on the Black Mesa mod, I have it mostly working. Nearly 100% of the textures are working. Only problem is that NPCs essential for the storyline are still not showing up. I am not giving up all hope, however. It may be possible for me to fix on my own, or it may be something that only Valve can fix. Only time will tell. Shaping up pretty nicely though. You can see some screenshots on my Twitter (I post updates there periodically).

Sent from my Amazon Tate
[Shield General] Mexican Pygmy:
I know they are working on this mod but this is just a bump to keep the thread alive
[Shield General] r3pwn:
I've actually gone back to working on Portal: Prelude to bring that up to 100%. So far, it's at about 99%-99.5%. Also, Valve doesn't seem to want to return our emails, so I was going to email nVidia.
[Shield General] kron123456789:
Well, after closer look at this i started to think that this #GreenBox is something like Valve's Orange Box, but for Nvidia Shield. This would be really great :laugh:
[Shield General] legofan623:
I think they're just referring to the packaging, although it would be cool. :fingers-crossed:
[Shield General] r3pwn:
Yeah, it was just announced (can't find where) that it's HL2, HL2:EP1, and Portal.
[Shield General] kron123456789:
I think most obvious place to announce something like that is Nvidia's Blog))
[Shield General] r3pwn:
Oh, yep, that's it. Thanks!
[Shield General] LimaBEERRE:
Black Mesa

Anything about Black Mesa Source?
[Shield General] r3pwn:
It doesn't appear to be possible. Maybe on HL2:EP1, but not working on HL2. :/
[Shield General] kron123456789:
And it's still 7GB of storage. BTW, Black Mesa is using Source Engine 2007 and HL2 for Android is using Source Engine 2010(i think). Maybe that causes most of problems.
[Shield General] r3pwn:
No, I think it's because the Android games are formatted for OrangeBox, like the Xbox version was. But Portal:Prelude is fine. I will upload the fixed version when I get the chance.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SgtDubKing:
Hi everyone,

I hope this question hasn't been asked before, but I used the search and got no results for it so I'm gonna ask anyway. My Galaxy SII (i9100g) is actually running on Cyanogenmod 10.1.3 with Clockworkmod as the recovery. I didn't want to upgrade earlier because I was waiting for a stable version of 11, but since the M builds are now going to be the most stable builds that will be out there I'd like to give it a try. However, since I can't upgrade OTA because I need new Gapps as well, I'll have to do a complete new installation. But I'm worried to loose all my data because of the necessary "Reset to factory settings" so is there any way I can save all my phones data (and I don't mean fotos, music, videos and stuff like that because I'm able to do that myself), I mean EVERYTHING from settings over wifi password over call lists and so on? Like I feel no difference between my phone now and my phone once it's upgraded to 11? Hope you understand what I mean, so a real copy of every little thing on my phone? I really hope so!

Looking forward to your help!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SgtDubKing:
Bump

Nobody knows the answer?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hawaiisteve:
I think nobody's answering because the answer is you probably need to a complete wipe (format system, wipe data, cache, dalvik). You can TRY to preserve your data but more than likely you will have problems or boot loops of FCs. You need to realize you are changing the completed OS and everything is not compatible. Some stuff is such as contacts, calander, etc can be restored thru Google sync and you might be able to restore SMS with nandroid manager, but be ready to lose data. Make a nandroid backup in case you're not happy with kk. Personally, I feel its worth the time and effort to upgrade. KK is sooooo much better IMO...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SgtDubKing:
[MENTION=5548561]hawaiisteve[/MENTION]

Thanks for your answer! I've never updated CM before and since there is no real guide online i have a lot of newbie questions :( I know I'm about to install a whole new OS, that's why I'm asking if I have to wipe everything. So there is no programm which saves all the app data, sms, video, fotos, contacts, system settings which I could use to restore all my data except for the OS part? Hard to imagine everyone here updating is setting up his or her phone up again because that takes alot of time and is a pain in the ***. If there is no programm capable of doing these things is there atleast one which "mirrors" my whole phone so I can just flash back to 10.1.3 I have right now together with all apps, sms and other data I have on my phone right now? So that I can notice no difference between the phone right now and the phone after 11 and then flashing to 10 again? Thank you for your help, it's really appreciated!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hawaiisteve:
You don't have titanium backup? It's a must! It'll save your user installed apps and app data. I remember some reporting restoring data causing problems however.

Do NOT restore system data. It will almost certainly cause issues.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SgtDubKing:
Nope. Was never necessary unfortunatly because now it looks like my SII broke yesterday so having a backup somewhere would have been great :( Thanks for your answer anyway, I'll try to find a way to get my phone to work again and if it does I'll try upgrading
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ibphantom:
I can't flash a recovery. What are some cool things I can do with the phone on just root. Any apps I should definitely download?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mikeman45:
You can get rid of all the bloatware that comes pre installed on the phone. You can enable certain features that are built into the code but not in use by stock. You can Flash custom Roms, themes, boot animations, and kernels. You also can install ad blockers to banish those annoying ads and just overall take back control of YOUR phone. There are 2 apps I always use (titanium backup and root explorer). There are other free apps out there like root explorer but I am so used to the app and love the features I wouldn't give it up. Also maybe look into apps like rom toolbox or android tuner. They have a ton of useful features and help eliminate having a bunch of root apps.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] XdrummerXboy:
Without a custom recovery he can't install other ROMs correct? Or can you still do it through Odin?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
Safestrap allows custom rom flashing, 4.3 TouchWiz only though.

That is a custom recovery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mikeman45:
Right without recovery no custom roms but as bad user name said safe strap allows for this. He still can debloat the nonsense Verizon and Samsung apps.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LAChris67:
Hello -- I cannot do the T-Mobile (USA) Sense 6 for M7 update OTA. I believe the problem was the custom recovery (TW) which I had, so I flashed a variety of stock recoveries (4.20.707.7, 4.19.401.11, 4.06.1540.2). My telephone is software version: 4.19.531.10 which I cannot find a stock recovery for. The update downloads, reboots, then the progress bar goes about half-way before a red-triangle appears. Not sure what else I need to do to the phone. I only have OTA ROMs on the phone, S-OFF and the device is rooted. Any one with any experience with this and how did you resolve? Many thanks in advance!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
The ota update might fails because of bad recovery installed or because the md5 checksum fails because of some missing or modified /system files or missing preloaded apps like flashlight, calculator etc etc that get wiped during bootloader unlock. Since your phone is s-off, you could run the 3.24.531.3 ruu.zip (don't s-on and don't relock bootloader) and apply each ota updates from 3.24.531.3 to 5.xx.531.x,
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RAM_1994:
Ok, I have one really nooby question. Are T-Mobile USA and T-Mobile Germany branded phones the same? Because my phone is T-Mobile Germany, and I've seen that for T-Mobile branded phones Sense 6 update is out, so I'm wondering if that's for all phones or just USA.

Thank you
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scorror:
It's for T-Mobile USA for now. Europe roll out would soon occur.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fuzi0719:
T-Mobile makes the OTA updates not work with ANY modification (other than S-OFF), so even if you relock the bootloader and install the stock recovery, the OTA update will fail. I've even tried to unroot, but it still fails. Only way to update is to install the RUU, either the exe or the zip. I just installed the last ruu.zip that I could find (3.24.531.3) then let it do the OTA update to 4.19.531.10, reboot, then do the OTA update to 5.14.531.1. A pain in the ass, but after getting everything restored and set up, it works and looks great.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RAM_1994:
So I'm still stucked with 4.3. Yes, they also removed 4.4 and Sense 5.5 update.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LAChris67:
Thanks for the help. This took half a day to resolve. I used Guru Reset to get things going. I had to go from RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_TMOUS_1.27.531.11_Radio_4A.17.3250.20_10.40.1150.04_release_324846_signed_2 and work my way up to v3 (via RUU) and then started to get the OTA v4 and v5. I could not immediately go to installing the v3 (tried a couple) RUUs. Also, I think part of my own personal problem was downloading the ZIP or the EXE for the v3 RUU was becoming corrupt each time (different file sizes, etc). I know my network is solid, but this was a real problem and I could never get a decent download of an RUU for htc1guru (tried different browsers, etc too).

Thanks for the help! I'm glad I got the help and the new upgrade --- seems very nice. And, thanks too to Titanium Backup -- it quickly got a lot of my user data back in place being I had to start from scratch.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fuzi0719:
Were you trying to download the RUU using the phone? I have found in the past that can corrupt the files, not sure why. I located the RUU zip for the 3.14.531.3 release in a post here on XDA (a collection of RUUs from various sources). I prefer using the zip instead of the exe (the zip is less sensitive, the exe can check too many things, making it fail more often). Once the 3.14 RUU was applied, I could then do the OTA for the 4.19 and the 5.14 releases easily. Then I re-unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP and then rooted it.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LAChris67:
Thanks Fuzi -- yeah, I was downloading on the PC. I tried it numerous times. I agree with you and tried going with the ZIP. All times, the file was coming up in different sizes and could not extract, but I finally got it to work. Once I got the download going for the first one, I basically followed what you said here and it worked. Thanks much again.

I used to use CLaunch all the time, and then changed to Pocket Plus about a year ago.

Is there anything else out there that lets you put icons on the today screen and have both large, and small icons?

I don't need tabs, but I do need several icons.

I am happy to lose the battery and memory card status, because there are already several plugins that do that for free.
[General Topics] jaceuk:
yes mate ilauncher best one imo,runs smooth small foot print and looks good
[General Topics] jeasbe:
The Lightest one would be O2 shortcuts though there is Not much Customising you can do Like Changing the Icons or Sizes..

O2 Plus SHORTCUTS on the TODAY SCREEN (below)

A better option would be to go for I Launcher

ILauncher SHORTCUTS on the Today Screen(below)

Another way to Display ILauncher SHORTCUTS

Note the Tray launcher which is a part of ILauncher (below)

ILauncher Shortcuts in two rows (below)

Another Great Utility..SPB POCKET PLUS

Neat Tabs. many options, Resizing, Renaming, Changing Tab Icons, Changing Icon Size..almost everything..Plus a Host of other features which are a part of the package....

SPB PLUS (BELOW)

Since U said "I don't need tabs, but I do need several icons. "

Here's something for U !!

In case U have ample resources and U want to experiment with something Real Innovative...

U can try WISBAR ADVANCED DESKTOP and Other VIRTUAL PAGES (Below)

YOu can also Try to Mix N Match(Below)

OK, I have had a play with the options, and I think Wisbar Advanced Desktop looks like the one I may go for.

I like the way I can include Pocket Plus elements, and so many other things.

Although I didn't like tabs, I do really like having different desktops. One for my mail and calendar notification with GPRS/UMTS status, and another with all my icons.

Really nice interface, but seems quite buggy, so I might wait and see what the next version brings before I blow any cash on it.

Since i had similar problems except the hardlock (?), i can tell you my experiences.

The app by Helroz worked for me only i had the original rom provided by the carrier. Dunno about Chainfire's since, it always worked by Helroz.

Whenever i had different rom ( JB, IC, KK) none of the applications worked for me.

Regarding to GalaxSim unlock, it wanted me to get the PRO one which is about 3 dollars (?) to can unblock it, but i don't like to pay for sth that it has no quarantee thats gonna work =D.
