[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koragg97:
I'm using this ROM and yes, it's based on stock 4.1.2 TouchWiz, but is much more faster and has the S5 interface :) You need TWRP 2.7.1.0 (I think) from [MENTION=5153662]Android-Andi[/MENTION].

---------- Post added at 09:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:14 PM ----------

CyanogenMod 11.0 is based on Android 4.4.3, but has stock android's interface without any manufacturer specific features. On the other hand, it is the latest android version so it has ART and other KitKat exclusive features. The method for rooting you suggested should work. And last, TWRP is a more modern recovery than CWM :) Everything is your choice!

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yankees45us:
Why would they do that? The whole point of having a smartphone is having instantaneous access to your info and using these features. This is a known bug affecting many. Supposedly oneplus one will fix this with the next ota update.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vanessaem:
Things running constantly so that you can have instantaneous and continuous access will drain battery-operated electronics. That's nothing unique with OPO, other smartphones, or any other electronic device which runs on a battery.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yankees45us:
Yes it will drain your battery, but not excessively like the google services bug present in cm11s. Most people don't buy a smartphone to have everything turned off on it. My g3 has all the same things constantly active and battery is a beast on it.

Guys, any chance of a work around for getting the inbuild BT4 HW working on android 4.2.2?

Did a google search found:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2492436

Don't worry, "Minumum Android 4.3 version required!"

Two usb ports, but we can only use one is a bit :mad: :laugh:

Info:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20332277/bluetooth-low-energy-api-for-jelly-bean-4-2

"Android's SDK doesn't have support for BLE prior to 4.3.

Third party libraries can enable BLE on Android 4.2 and lower where the device's hardware supports BLE,

such as on Samsung's S III, 4 and Note 2 and on the HTC One.

I only have experience using Samsung's SDK on 4.2 (which is now deprecated), so I can't really help you further.

I can't reiterate enough-- there is no standard BLE support on Android 4.2 and lower.

You'll need to use third party solutions on a per-device basis."
[M.O.J.O. General] shabbypenguin:
reading up on that link doesnt show promise for 4.2 :(

ive been trying to get a custom recovery going so i could begin work on an aosp based rom, many of the "bugs" with the stock rom could then be fixed and people might start picking this up if it had support. i have kernel source downloaded and have been meaning to try out a custom kernel but i still havent even gotten a custom recovery booting. it doesnt appear they use a DTB file, so i believe my boot.img is packed correctly, yet all i get is a black screen. seeing as there hasnt been an update to the kernel source i dont expect much in terms of support, especially considering ive now asked multiple places and mad catz hasnt replied to any of my questions, it seems if i couldnt figure out how to pair my controller or turn the volume up i could get some answers but not if i have dev related questions :/.
[M.O.J.O. General] gwaldo:
Yeah, it's not (re link), but it's funny on: http://madcatz.com/mojo/en-ca/

Seems such a waste of a usb port :(

Edit: Oh and the kernel src works fine, shame it isn't any help re the old BT stack

[M.O.J.O. General] Domomojo:
An article I read recently said that a firmware update is due soon which will make the MOJO controller useable with BT2.2. Not as good as an OS upgrade to 4.4, but at least it will remove the need for the dongle.
[M.O.J.O. General] gwaldo:
I didn't think the mojo's ctrlr had BT2.2 HW.

I thought the update was coming for the retail CTRLR to update it to BT4

http://store.madcatz.com/brands/mad-catz/Mad-Catz-C-T-R-L-R-Mobile-Gamepad.html

Hope, I'm wrong though :/
[M.O.J.O. General] Domomojo:
Well...I was under the impression that the retail CTRLr already supported both BT2.2 and BT4.0, but after reading what you posted I'm not so sure. Also, I am unable to find find the review I read that stated that the MOJO CTRLr would soon receive a firmware update making it BT2.2 compatible. Seems rather odd that the first version of the CTRLr shipped (the version that came with MOJO) would support only the new BT4.0 standard, while the retail version, which shipped much later, only supports BT2.2. If that is the case, it would have made more sense to ship MOJO with the BT2.2 CTRLr, upgrade it to BT4.0 when the available firmware AND KitKat were available, and not even bother with a dongle.
[M.O.J.O. General] gwaldo:
I think:

BT4 only on mojo (cheaper not using the 'premium dual-mode Bluetooth 4.0 chip' - besides BT4 comes standard on phones/tablets since 2013 )

BT2 on retail, I guess it's the common denominator, get it working first and ship it out, patch it later.. good reason to have the micro-usb port.

It's a shame android 4.3 wasn't out when they started though :'(

Anyway, I'm still hopeful MC will deliver on kitkat and the CTRLR upgrade, IMO still too far from end of life (not like ouya!! 2010HW lol).
[M.O.J.O. General] Domomojo:
From xpcoin.com/2014/05/09/mad-catz-ctrlr-android-bluetooth-gamepad/

"The retail CTRLR versus the MOJO CTRLR

If you have a MOJO CTRLR (mine is model: 32263) there are a few differences to the retail CTRLR (mine is model: 32266).

1. Obviously the retail Madcatz logo on the right grip is red instead of the grey of the MOJO CTRLR.

2. The media, start and select buttons are black instead of silver.

3. The mode switch has a nipple/tab instead of a groove which required nails!

4. The home button on the retail CTRLR has a shorter press, the MOJO CTRLR has a deeper button.

5. The most important difference is that the retail CTRLR also supports Bluetooth 2 (classic) devices, the MOJO CTRLR is Bluetooth 4 only."
[M.O.J.O. General] gwaldo:
Yeah, that's my blog...

I've been looking more deeply into the MOJO's controller dongle, it's not a BT4 adapter as I initially thought, but specific to the MOJO's CTRLR.

Explains why it can't be removed.

I can also confirm the MOJO's controller doesn't connect to BT2.

I haven't tried the retail or the MOJO's controller on a BT4 device, but I expect the MOJO's controller to work.

The retail CTRLR *should* work on BT4, if not then we wait for the firmware update :/

I wrote in more detail on the same page at the bottom.

also looking at http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Doc:_porting_intro

:/
[M.O.J.O. General] shabbypenguin:
Just tried connecting the mojo controller to my nexus 5 and my nexus 5 wouldnt read it one bit, plugged in an otg cable and the dongle and instant connection. my guess is this will never work without the dongle, almost as if its hard coded to look for it. for it to be using BT 4.0 i must admit it has a pretty terrible range at that too.
[M.O.J.O. General] gwaldo:
Thanks shabbypenguin, That's what I feared.. maybe a firmware update will fix that tho :/

On their site, called a 'USB Nano Dongle'

What's terrible? I get great range.. from the other side of the house.. 15m through walls... i'm running cheap rechargeables.
[M.O.J.O. General] shabbypenguin:
odd, i have mine under my desk hooked to my monitor and if i have my controller on more than 3-4 feet away i get terrible lag until i move closer, the batteries could be an issue though...
[M.O.J.O. General] gwaldo:
Hey,

I have no idea what a DTB file is, but I googled around and found this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2428117
[M.O.J.O. General] shabbypenguin:
oh no, they dont use it which is odd because the shield does. you can take stock recovery and unpackl it and repack it and it will boot just fine with no dtb file. yet for some reason the kernel source has a dts/dtb file :/

i just wish i understood why nothing seemed to work, ive managed to port cwm/twrp and build an entirely working cm rom for another device in the time that its taken that i still dont know what is going on with the mojo.
[M.O.J.O. General] gwaldo:
yip, I see them all in kernel/arch/arm/boot/dts

But it's it's just a feature of the kernel, how do you know if it's used or not used in a boot.img?

When you boot using your repacked boot.img does it show an error?

I guess because there's no adb there's no logging either :'(

Yeah, wow
[M.O.J.O. General] shabbypenguin:
normally ive known by taking their boot.img from stock and extracting the dtb and that will tell me if they use it or not. when i repack it boots fine, just doesnt do much :/ and yea without adb this is kind of sucking, im gunna ask around today and see if i can make any headway with it.. :/
[M.O.J.O. General] gwaldo:
Not sure if you know about this or for anyone else interested.

The mojo.boot image has ADB capabilities, it has the server: /sbin/adbd

Android got a security feature you can turn on or off. Usually this should be enabled for production environment and disabled for development devices. By turning security off, you can gain root access.

Edit /default.prop in the root file system and set the property "ro.secure=0".

There's also a "ro.debuggable=0" which should be changed to 1

In file init.goldfish.rc has eth0 network settings, so I expect ADB to work via that.

init.mojo.rc also has ADB set up:

init.mojo.rc and init.usb.rc files has USB ADB settings, not sure what it does or how to use ADB via USB.

edit: init.rc , the main boot script

But no mention of init.goldfish.rc where the eth0 ADB settings are.

Anyone know what init.goldfish.rc does here or if it's used at all?

Tried pinging 10.0.2.2 and 10.0.2.3 in fastboot mode and recovery mode via ethernet but nothing :(
[M.O.J.O. General] shabbypenguin:
Goldfish isnt actually used, its the emulator, its included in every build of android because with a simple build.prop edit you can tuirn any device into an emulator (most of the time it breaks it). the default.prop you can edit every time to those values but thats actually part of the ramdisk from boot.img and is a temporary file, as soon as you reboot it will be rebuilt according to the file in the kernel. ive tried everything i could think of to get adb working via usb and it doesnt even detect the device, its infuriating because while adb over wifi "works" its a half ass attempt. even still now mad catz refuses to answer any of my questions :(, if i had to guess its because none of them actually klnow either.

I am thinking about buying a Tab S in the US and having it sent to me in Europe because even with shipping it is significantly cheaper than buying here. (Nice little Samsung pricing scam: $399 in US and 399 euros here - a 35% difference!!!!) Is there likely to be a warranty problem OR, more importantly, activation or OS upgrade issues, IMEI or CSC problems? I know it can sometimes be a problem with activations on their phones if they are activated out-of-region.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avenging:
arent most electronics more expensive in europe though? im thinking of buying from amazon too but only for non-LTE one.

the tab s is currently being sold in bahrain only the LTE version and as im a cheapskate i'll wait for the wifi versions in saudi
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] murmur70:
Warranty could be an issue as you would probably have to send it to the States for service. I purchased the Hong Kong version of the 7.7 and received what updates there were without any problems. Activation was not a problem either other than the opening screen being in Chinese.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corvus.corax:
They seem more expensive here, but as I pointed out 399 in dollars and 399 in euros. It's like Samsung doesn't really want price parity. I should have said I want the wifi only, so I don't know if activation, IMEI and CSC matter.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HANSB57:
I dont know the Greek rules.

But if I was to ship it to the Netherlands I would have to pay

Initial purchase (no sales tax)

Shipping

Import tax

Sales tax over purchase price and shipping (21%)

Import handeling fee for your shipper (UPS, Fedex??)

A quick calculation shows I finnaly would have to pay 415 euros. Hardly a bargain.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corvus.corax:
If you send as a personal item / used electronics / (ahem) warranty repair [emoji12], all those problems go away - at least here. The one thing you do not do is send in an unopened factory box so they do not think you just bought it.
