I build xbmc for a bunch of purposes and have my 13.1 modified to be launcher.. however pressing the home key never brings up the dialog to switch.. try it with any launcher from the app store.. same thing.. i can share it here if you guys want to try but it makes no diff..

http://www.datafilehost.com/d/b703a710

this is pretty much a straight git pull of 13.1 with manifest edits for launching and fusion/superrepo/unity come built in as sources and there are a few settings defaults in advancedsettings.xml.
[Fire TV General] craftyguy:
Interesting, I wonder if Amazon somehow removed the option/ability for setting a default launcher other than their own?
[Fire TV General] mastafunk:
Appears so for now... I think most developers are treading carefully till we have a custom recovery..
[Fire TV General] LiquidXed:
You rock dude thanks.. dont forget to add command kill classic tv also :)

Also added event xbmc run / kill KFTV Launcher

Then another event xbmc stop / run stortcut "home" KFTV Launcher

And its workin great..
[Fire TV General] elmerohueso:
Yep. That's the whole point of the module rbox's, which we've been discussing.
[Fire TV General] LiquidXed:
Anyway to change the icon for classic tv to xbmc ? Lol
[Fire TV General] elmerohueso:
Lol? You say that a lot. I do not think that means what you think it means (unless you really find everything funny)

Anyway, yes there is (if you're rooted): http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=191109&pid=1735001#pid1735001
[Fire TV General] craftyguy:
Right.

I was pointing out that it's not the point of amberkalvin's "solution", which was taken directly from the XBMC wiki, and only serves to allow you to launch xbmc in a different way.

Thanks@elmer
[Fire TV General] rbox:
I just posted the module at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=53487563. It currently does the alternate launcher and supresses the controller warning.
[Fire TV General] amberkalvin:
LiquidXed had asked how to put XBMC "on" the home launcher. I didn't take that as him wanting to replace the home launcher. Either way, hope I helped somebody. I would also like to see an option to run XBMC as a home launcher (as long as we have access back to the original launcher)

Thanks guys!
[Fire TV General] roustabout:
I'm guessing there may be an obscure place in settings.db that controls the behavior, kind of like the unknown sources setting which is so baked into Android that it hasn't gotten pulled. I could be mistaken, though - I hadn't realized until lately that the Fire devices all pull all the stuff for the carousel from the cloud, no matter what's installed locally.
[Fire TV General] rbox:
So the reason you can't change the default launcher is because they set a huge priority on their launcher. Which causes the code to always choose it. Once I neutralized the priority difference, I was able to see that the chooser activity was starting, but I was not able to figure out why the dialog wasn't popping up. There must have been something else they changed that I wasn't seeing.
[Fire TV General] mastafunk:
If we could bypass the dialog and set it manually then disable kftv launcher via pm.....
[Fire TV General] rbox:
My xposed module will pick whatever 2nd launcher you have installed over the amazon one.
[Fire TV General] roustabout:
That's great - after installing xposed, the rboxfiretv module posted over in the themes and apps section and your build of XBMC I have the launcher replaced with XBMC now.

The firetv launcher is still available, which is nice since amazon video won't launch from within XBMC. I suspect there's a way to get that, also, but I spend a lot of time in XBMC, and both Netflix and digital concert hall do launch from XBMC.
[Fire TV General] mastafunk:
You dont need a special xbmc when you use the xposed module.. i posted that for those who want to try to get it actually running as default launcher.
[Fire TV General] roustabout:
Yes, and that's my configuration - I press the home button on the remote, I go to XBMC.

My impression was that getting the home button functionality working required your build?
[Fire TV General] mastafunk:
Nope weve been doing that since this box came out.. i use lama/autostart to accomplish the same thing. Its been in the xbmc wiki for a while.

The xbmc i built and linked will function as a standard android launcher as in the select dialog comes up when you press home asking which you would like to use for now on.. unfortunately something is suppressing the dialog in fireos..
[Fire TV General] roustabout:
got it. I've been lama'ing with classic TV up until now, and used the rboxfiretv xposed module to make your xbmc my launcher without a dialog prompt coming up, and without autostart being involved.
[Fire TV General] jljaries42@gmail.com:
Could this be changed to a task switcher?

I know you can already use alt-tab on a keyboard to switch tasks, but using the home key would be easier.
[Fire TV General] rbox:
My first reaction is no. Because on boot, when it tries to start the launcher, it runs the same code that is used for the home button. But I suppose if I could figure out if the launcher was already running and only do it then, it might work. But if android decides to kill the launcher, then it would start that, vs starting a switcher. I just use FLIRC and a Harmony remote and I can make the FLIRC send any key sequences I want.

no im german, so i can say 4.1.B.1.13 seems not to be country specific. AFAIK this fw is just an update limited to some few HDPI models (like RAY (...)) i dont know itts exact chages but i done research long time ago as it was released & find out it just some few very small bugfix. also like said only few models got this.

Will Franco's kernel work well with cyanogenmod?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] morbidpete:
Morning all,

So here is the deal. Buddy of mine broke his phone last night, I gave him one of my spares and he is keeping that. I took his broken S4.

The screen si dead and the digitizer does not work

Had CWM flashed on it but stock rom when I gave him the S4 initially

I tried every possible way to get usb debugging working without the screen. edited the build.prop and default.prop

change the settings.db no luck

using adb in recovery i was able to flash cyanogenmod 10 as i read it had usb debugging enabled by default

well after the flash and booting the device (using an MHL) i still cant access an adb shell. I'm guessing i have to go through the setup process of cy mod before it kicks on maybe.

so i'm stuck here. now what I was hoping, and I know its a long shot. Could someone maybe make a nandroid of a stock rom, any rom that is rooted. but with vnc or other remote software installed and setup so I can flash and access this device.

I was also going to try to find a TV with CEC support as I heard the MHL will pass them through

If I can convince someone to upload a nandroid for me (I'll provide hosting) anyone have any ideas on controlling this thing remotely. I just need to be able to install arliberator, pair it with my cars deck via Bluetooth and i'll be good to go.

-pete

More thoughts. Having usb debugging enabled is clutch. Just realized, it wont be on my wifi so vnc wont work to well. I know droid vnc and do usb using adb. so maybe thats my best bet
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] morbidpete:
making some progress

Copied the wifi settings from wpa+supplicant.conf from my brothers phone

so the S4 witht he broken screen now connects to my wifi

I installed the droid vnc apk using recovery

also installed it on another phone, setup the way I want

copied the settings folder from the /data/data frolder and copied it to the S4

chmod the folder and files to 777 and set 776 on "androidvncserver" file not sure about that step

cant get vnc to connect. but making progress
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] morbidpete:
made a bit more progress

downloaded fastdroid vnc

pushed it to /data/ in recovery using adb

set 777 as i didt feel like dealing with permissions

made a super simple script to load it and placed in /data/local called userinit.sh or something like that

so it started and I was able to make a vnc connection, but it was all black and didnt accept mouse or key inputs.

i assume this is because it is no longer maintained and is many years aold

tried to do the same with droid vnc server and starting the androidvncserver file.

unfortunatly it never accepted a connection and i'm not even sure if the file starts

need more work

anyone willing to save me all the trouble and get me a nandroid with usb debugging enabled? pretty please! :crying:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] morbidpete:
Final update. Working

so I ended up placing androidvncserver in /data/

chmod 777 /data/androidvncserver

placed my wpa_supplicant.conf in /data/misc/wifi

chown system.wifi wpa_supplicant.conf

made a userinit.sh and pushed to /data/local/userinit.sh

chmod 777 /data/local/userinit.sh

reboot

connected to wifi, accepted the vnc connection and mouse movement. still a black screen but with the MHL and the mouse. I was able to get ARliberator installed and connected to my appradio2 and configured everything there

done
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] srs731:
Quick question-

I recently went back to stock rooted rom from Alliance because my WiFi went out and I was not able to get it back on anything other then stock.

Unfortunately that means I lost my WiFi tethering. I found FoxFi to work, I just wanted to make sure this didn't incur any extra charges and worked like the in app did for alliance.

I have unlimited data.

Thank you,
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] userxx:
I'm in the same boat as you with unlimited. Been using FoxFi without any issues for years now. No extra charges.

Just don't torr 500GB of movies and get red flagged. Any illegal down loading will void the TOS agreement. They will send u a letter.

On a side note, I did ask a friend who knows a guy that works for big red. He said they can see and detect FoxFi traffic in the data packets. Meaning, ya they have programs in place that detect tethering with excessive data usage. So some peps do heavy tethering and nothing happens and verizon knows.

The FCC made a ruling against Verizon in 2012 and is worth reading

The Right to Tether: What the Verizon/FCC Settlement Means to You

and Federal Communications Commission

The fine print is...Verizon's stance. Current customers with grandfathered unlimited data plans still have to pay. Unfortunately, if you want to tether with your unlimited plan, you have to either upgrade your plan to one of the new, Share Everything plans (which include tethering), or pony up $20/mo for Verizon's "Mobile Broadband Connect" service. You can still tether off the books and hope you don't get caught, but if they catch you, Verizon will either sign you up for Mobile Broadband Connect, put you on a Share Everything plan, or terminate your contract.

Basically verizon lost the fight and got spanked / hand slapped. They could go after you under the FCC agreement but their are no reports that has happened.

Just keep your tethering under 30gigs and you be fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] srs731:
Okay cool. Thanks for the reply. I Dont plan on using 30gigs anyway. Probably only around 10/month for the next 3 months. Need my laptop and hotel internet is slow as hell.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SHAK3R:
What are you guys doing that I'm not to be able to use FoxFi? Can't get it to work. Actually no tethering apps. Is it even possible with 4.3?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ThePagel:
Its all on your end. Foxfi has been working on 4.3 for almost as long as its been out. Are you using a rom with safestrap? If so did you install the kernel modules? Tether apps need WiFi to work and if your on a 4.3 ROM without modules WiFi won't work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SHAK3R:
I honestly just got the GS3 a week ago. Rooted it using Towelroot. Is there any hope for me. Really need to be able to tether.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ThePagel:
Is SuperSU and busybox installed?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SHAK3R:
I downloaded su from play store and honestly not sure about busybody. How can I find out and get it if not. If its needed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ThePagel:
Well you can just install/reinstall it by downloading a busybox installer from the play store. It doesn't matter because I just remembered you don't need root for foxfi anymore. hope you figure it out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] buhohitr:
Foxfi is working fine on 4.3 or 4.4kitkat, you need to enable lock screen and using pin code, it will ask you to install a trust cert and that's it. If you have root, just use wifi tether router app (very clean an simple tethering app). I'm using both and they both working fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SHAK3R:
I've tried them all. Here's what happens. I start the tethering app (tried 10 of them) and it brings up a dialog box saying I don't have a tethering plan. Call or click etc......

I tried various profiles settings. Nothing.

[HTC Incredible S] oziboy:
Your problem is the kernel, you say it runs on gingerbread WWE and you want sense 3, are you sure the 2nd one is WWE too?

Anyway to fix kernel, you need to flash that ROM or another rom that runs sense 3.0, the kernel doesnt match your rom version (boot_signed is ur kernel) so you need either that rom from the kernel or another kernel which matches your rom now

I had been installing some apps, (FlexMail, Agile) and was starting to get some annoying errors on startup, that it couldn't start agile, and couldn't find the FlexMail exe file.. So I thought I'd just reflash the ROM which I've done probably 30 times so far. The phone reboots, then hangs and doesn't come to the bootloader screen, I have to take the battery out to reset. I also can't get the bootloader to run on startup via the two buttons.

Is this an issue with the EnterBootLoader.exe file, or something else? I'm running 2.26 IPL/SPL and ROM ver 2.26.10.2 WWE.

Thnx

Hi, how do you change the font for the navigation drawer through XML? I've tried android:fontFamily and android:typeface but neither of them work (value: sans-serif-condensed).
[Java for Android App Development] SimplicityApks:
The navigation drawer itself doesn't draw any text, only its child view. So if you are using a ListView there are plenty of solutions here and here. Just create a custom simple list item and set the font on the textview if you want the fastest way.
[G2 Android Development] autom8r:
I love [MENTION=270378]Cloudyfa[/MENTION] G3 ROM, but I couldn't seem to find my favorite font Roboto in the list anymore. To enable Roboto I built a new system_fonts.xml and zipped together Google's Roboto fonts to ensure the original AOSP ones are in the ROM.

To enable Roboto again, using Root Explorer (or a like app):

Backup /system/etc/system_fonts.xml

Copy system_fonts.xml from the zip attachment (system_fonts.zip) into /system/etc

Set permissions on system_fonts.xml to rw-r--r--

Backup /system/fonts

Copy the 18 Roboto .ttf files from the zip attachment (Roboto.zip) and paste into /system/fonts

Set permissions on all 18 .ttf files just pasted to rw-r--r--

Now, reboot and select Roboto from Settings > Display > Font type. Voila! You will have the correct AOSP Roboto look to your launcher and apps.
