Is it possible mod mirror screen in car use...

My alpine supports mirror screen, but i dont like googlemaps, so

it would be awesome if i can change it like navigon etc...

And if it supports whole phone mirroring.... I havent found support thread for this

kind of stuff...

Original Android Development? Really?
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] scesarin:
Sorry if I'm newbie... I installed, I enabled... but I can't get screen mirroring with my chromecast... what exactly do you set in Z2 to mirror it?
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] elbello:
1st, you need the chromecast app, so install it from play store if you dont have it.

In the Mirrorenabler app, make sure you enable "Mirror Status"

If your phone can see the chromecast, just press the menu button next to "Devices" in the chromecast app and choose "Cast Screen"

If your phone doesnt see the chormecast, then make sure you are on the same wifi network as your chromecast.

Hope this helps.

[Droid Ultra Original Android Development] Kickbut101:
there is nothing in the .zip folder?
[Droid Ultra Original Android Development] Topsnake:
Are you asking or stating? If you are stating, then you may have gotten a bad download. I just re-verified the download and all is well. The file is very small.
[Droid Ultra Original Android Development] beelow319:
Works perfectly. Thanks!
[Droid Ultra Original Android Development] socobandit:
After reboot, original build.prop is back and the vzw files dropped the .bak. I am rooted, but not unlocked so wp is on, and I guess native tether is not gonna work. Didn't try it before reboot though.
[Droid Ultra Original Android Development] Topsnake:
Product of wp being on. You can try to open my build.prop and copy and paste the entire prop into your file effectively replacing the contents. See if that takes.

What is a native tether exploit used for?
[Droid Ultra Original Android Development] CrazyRussianXDA:
To enable native tether, obviously. Search is your friend.

---------- Post added at 06:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:56 PM ----------

@Topsnake, is it possible to rig your previous MOD ([MOD][ROOT]Native Wireless Tether for build 19.6.3) for 4.4.4?

It appears that having a modded VZWEntitlementServices.apk which takes care of the native tether and only that is a cleaner solution than modifying the build.prop as the latter is referenced a lot by many processes which, consequently, could lead to far reaching side effects.

BTW, do you know if anyone tried your VZWEntitlementServices.apk on 4.4.4?
[Droid Ultra Original Android Development] Topsnake:
Thought I replied to this.

The 19.5.3 would probably work for 4.4.4 but I haven't tried it.

The build.prop is a much cleaner install when done correctly.
[Droid Ultra Original Android Development] CrazyRussianXDA:
[MENTION=3582521]Topsnake[/MENTION] can you please elaborate on the changes you made to the stock buiuld.prop file?

I know you've mentioned in another thread that your method and the one using EntitlementBypass-v1.2.apk (from Moto X forum) are using the same commends. Would I be correct assuming that you've:

1. Added net.tethering.noprovisioning=true

and

2. Changed ro.mot.tether_dun_required to 0

Are those are the only difference between your build.prop and the stock one?

The reason I ask, is that, as I said earlier in this thread, build.prop is pretty significant file (from what I understand) and sets a lot of variables and settings. I'm hesitant to modify it in fears that by enabling native tether other unwanted side effects would arise.

Thanks
[Droid Ultra Original Android Development] Topsnake:
I can guarantee you that this mod will not give any effects other than enabling tether. 110% positive
[Droid Ultra Original Android Development] CrazyRussianXDA:
line 259 net.tethering.noprovisioning=true appears to be the only addition to the original build.prop

Should the result should be the same if we just edit the prop.buld right on the device and add that line?
[Droid Ultra Original Android Development] Topsnake:
Are you unlocked bl?
[Droid Ultra Original Android Development] CrazyRussianXDA:
yes
[Droid Ultra Original Android Development] Topsnake:
So then copy the contents of the build prop into yours or replace it all together. It takes of all about 3 seconds.

It will be the same.

Topsnake, thank you! For all you have done in the past and now.
[Droid Ultra Original Android Development] Topsnake:
I appreciate that buddy. Thanks.
[Droid Ultra Original Android Development] rmjones2006:
If you are really that concerned about the build.prop being altered in a way that you feel the need to be worried, then simply compare your current build.prop to the modified one that topsnake has provided. It's that simple. No need to start arguments about what one person feels is better or safer or whatever else you think; I personally research anything that I do to my phone by tearing down apk's or batch files or whatever it might be that I'm applying to my phone to see what is being done. By doing this it also helps you learn how these exploits work and helps you learn more about your phone in general.

If you're not comfortable with changing files then don't do it. It's that simple.

Not calling any one particular person out in general, but there is so much of the same information continually being repeated that it is extremely frustrating. I'm to the point where I don't even try and help because I'm just repeating what I said a page or two back, or the post directly below.

[Droid Ultra Original Android Development] El Daddy:
Thread cleaned.

Sometimes it's easier to discuss things over a PM rather than babble about it in public.

As the OP stated. Everything is out in the open in the build.prop. If one is wondering what changes were made, do a diff against the original build.prop

I used to use the Magnificent Magnifier app with my S3 and it worked great.

Now with my new Note3 it won't work.

What I mean is that if I close up on something it's all blurry, no matter what setting is on the magnifier slider.

It acts as I would look at something from up close with my own eyes. It defeats the purpose of having this app.

I really need this app, since my eyes are not what they used to be.

Any input would be appreciated.

I'd appreciate help porting CWM and Cyanogenmod! Please post, fork, request merges etc...

I've managed to compile CWM for the Lenovo Yoga 10 HD+

My repository is here: https://github.com/zyrill/android_device_lenovo_b8080h

And the CWM recovery image is attached. Use towelroot by geohot to root your tablet.

Before attempting to flash, you should:

make sure you know what you're doing!

double check that you're flashing the right partition!

If you flash the wrong partition, you'll brick your tablet!

You can check your partition layout with

$ ls -al /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/

Once rooted, you can flash the image as follows:

$ adb push recovery.img /storage/sdcard0/recovery.img
$ adb shell
$ dd if=/storage/sdcard0/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p21

Enjoy!

Changelog:

v 0.1: Initial version. Known issue: can't yet mount /sdcard and external cards

v 0.2: Backup is operative! Known issues: no option to backup to external storage, no option to skip backing up of external storage, date is not set correctly

[Android Software Development] B5Pilot:
Most Excellent

I installed this and it seems to be working. I backed up my current configuration but have not yet tried to restore anything. The backup did take a while though. I was a little worried at first that it was stuck.

zyrill, you need a donate button somewhere. I'm willing to donate to have cwm running on my tablet. CM 11 would be nice too but I'm just happy to be able to run Exposed and back everything up.

[Android Software Development] B5Pilot:
Oh Yeah

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that I've got the WiFi only version. That's the 8080-f hardware version. The recovery block is the same.
[Android Software Development] tdklaus:
I tried the CWM recovery, and it didn't work for me. (Wifi-only HD+)

flashing worked fine, and I was able to boot into CWM

tried to run a backup, the display stopped changing at (quoting from memory here) "backing up sd-ext" - I have no ext-partition on my sdcard (64GB)...

1st try, switched off after ca. 2 hours: a folder clockworkmod\backup was created on the sdcard, but was empty

2nd try: let it run overnight until the battery ran out. Result: corrupted filesystem on the sdcard, had to re-install from scratch.

Does anybody have the original recovery.img for me to flash it back?
[Android Software Development] B5Pilot:
I may have a little premature in my enthusiasm. My backup included a full copy of my SD card which nearly filled the remaining internal memory. I never did try to restore the backup so I can't guarantee that it would work correctly.

I've started the process of compiling a version of CWM for the WiFi only version but I'm new to the whole process and it will take me a while to begin to figure it out.

Unfortunately I wasn't careful and never extracted the stock recovery before I flashed this version. I was double stupid and never tried to capture the ota to 4.4. I suppose you could do a factory reset and start over. Sucks I know.

Mark
[Android Software Development] tdklaus:
I have captured the OTA to 4.4, so if you tell me how, I could try to extract the original recovery from it.
[Android Software Development] mdy:
CM 11 would be great

Thanks for your attention to our HD+ tablets. I have B8080-F. Lenovo seems to be pretty slow in bringing new Android versions to this new tablet. It would be great to have CM 11 builds for this device. I have a Samsung Tab 2 7.0 that got new life after I installed CM 11 4.4.4..Just my encouragement to you folks who know how to build CM for the HD+.
[Android Software Development] AEkiz:
Edit:

4.4.2 firmware have WiFi problems,problems with some apps like weather and so on. I went back to 4.3
[Android Software Development] zyrill:
Can anybody confirm the issues with the backup/restore process? It seemed to work fine for me. Maybe the exact steps to reproduce the mistaken behaviour will help us fix it. Also, I have the original recovery image, is it still needed?

Regarding CWM: I've just finished my PhD and am looking for a job. As soon as that's settled, I'll have time to work on other projects such as CM for our tablet. But in the meantime, if anybody makes any headway, simply issue a pull request and I'll include your work in our repository so everybody can benefit.

Cheers!
[Android Software Development] tdklaus:
thx, zyrill.

Well what cam I say, booted into recovery, chose backup/restore - backup and after a few messages the process seemingly stopped with "backing up /sd-ext" on the screen.

No ext-partition existed on the external sdcard, and there were about 10GB free on the internal and 27GB on the external, so wherever CMW tries to store it's files, I hope there was ample room.

I'd still very much appreciate the original recovery.img before I do any more experiments (it's the wife's tablet, after all ;)
[Android Software Development] tdklaus:
Hi zyrill, I appreciate that you don#t have much time now, but could you still please upload the original recovery?

I managed to get through a backup process in CWM without error messages. Let's trade hostages :laugh:

[Android Software Development] flip74:
Help please!

Hi,

B8080-H

I was hoping someone could please help (hope it's alright to post here)

I used Flashify and Rashr to make backups of the Boot and Recovery partitions, before successfully managing to flash CWM to recovery; which worked OK.

Unfortunately, I tried to replace CWM with the original recovery partition which didn't go so well. The problem I now have is that upon powering on, the tablet flashes the Lenovo screen, then goes black with the LED lit. Pressing power on and volume down used to bring up the service menu, but now I get the logo flash and LED. Holding power on and volume up brings up the Lenovo screen with no LED.

Is there by any chance a way to recover the tablet's partitions, using the backups I made, using adb? I have also got a copy of THE stock ROM from the Russian Lenovo site.

Thank you for any advice.

Phill
