do you still have the X2-Eclipse-v2.3.zip if you haven't checked the md5 checksum: 3cde119578f20b3579ce65ec88bb8a62

check it now, if it is wrong redownload and reinstall (with a factory reset), if it is correct, may need to reflash stock but do not use RSD lite, will need to use fastboot.exe

I will look for a stock 2.3.5 nandroid which would be another option
[Motorola Droid X2] Cessus:
I don't think this would be running at all if the file wasn't correct? I will try reflashing I guess for now. I de iced to go with eclipse bc I read its the most stable rom. I can't go back to stock Verizon rom bc it made my x2 run slower then my old Motorola triumph singlecore. I might try cm7 next
[Motorola Droid X2] sd_shadow:
Yes, it can run if it's not complete, may not even see errors/issues depends on what is missing.

check the md5, that is why it's posted with the rom.
[Motorola Droid X2] sd_shadow:
see screenshot
[Motorola Droid X2] Cessus:
Checksum is a match according to WINMD5free
[Motorola Droid X2] sd_shadow:
Ok so don't need to redownload. Still could have install incorrectly, try wiping data and reinstalling
[Motorola Droid X2] Cessus:
Will do. WML.
[Motorola Droid X2] sd_shadow:
I don't remember anyone on straight talk having this error with eclipse 2.3, but it has been 2 years...

Could try installing my 2.3.5 stock v6 installed BSR nandroid

haven't found a plan 2.3.5 nandroid

if that does not work, may need to reflash following my Flashing Stock 2.3.5 Firmware with moto-fastboot.exe
[Motorola Droid X2] Cessus:
I did notice something this morning my phone vibrated and it said connected to multimedia station Multimedia station is currently connected. It will now load apps sluggishly in Google Play Store but it will refuse to download them it shows to download bar but it just keeps pending as if waiting to start. 3g is also much slower then when the phone was on stock os. Goigleplay and yr work fine in wifi
[Motorola Droid X2] Cessus:
Just going to flash the sbf Verizon 2.35 rom I found
[Motorola Droid X2] sd_shadow:
If you use rsd lite it may not work on Straight talk any more
[Motorola Droid X2] Cessus:
What are my options then? Im using bsr. Im considering going to cm7 bc I want something stable. I like to use hdmi and the radio but ic if it don't work on cm7 bc all I care about at this point is reliability and speed
[Motorola Droid X2] sd_shadow:
if you want to try cm7, cm9, cm10...

use ezSBF DX2 2.3.4 to downgrade

or

if you want to stay on stock 2.3.5, or retry eclipse 2.3

Flashing Stock 2.3.5 Firmware with moto-fastboot.exe

or

use sbf_flash following How to: sbf on linux (and now OSX!)
[Motorola Droid X2] Cessus:
Do I wipe data and cache as well before doing the Moto fast boot method?
[Motorola Droid X2] Cessus:
/?

I want to go back to 2.3 5 and install supercharger v6 on the stick rom. I've already downloaded moto fastboot should i clear data and cache before using it?
[Motorola Droid X2] sd_shadow:
Don't have to wiping cache will not remove any data, wiping data is prefered but can be done after.

if the phone bootloops after flashing with moto-fastboot or have other problems, try wiping data.
[Motorola Droid X2] Cessus:
It was looping after the flash but I deleted my cache and partition data and it worked just fine after that however my 3G is beyond slow now before when the phone was stock originally it was rated at 2.2 megabytes per secondby speed test.com And I was downloading at 2 to 300 kilobytes per second. Now I'm lucky to get 10 to 20 kilobytesper second. I tried to 3G speed mod but that doesn't seem to have worked. Any ideas on what this could be?
[Motorola Droid X2] sd_shadow:
most of the 3G speed mods are for GSM not CDMA, was it DX2 specific?
[Motorola Droid X2] Cessus:
Yes it was in a sticky full of mods for the dx2
[Motorola Droid X2] sd_shadow:
My signal varies from good to bad, at any given time.

But could be a apn setting
[Motorola Droid X2] Cessus:
Apn is stock
[Motorola Droid X2] sd_shadow:
and that could be the problem, apns are carrier specific, and motorola does not make checking and editing apns easy.

First need to look up your carrier's recommended apn settings, and compare to what is on phone

some links in my list APN Settings

APN Backup & Restore app can backup apns to a file that can be edited
[Motorola Droid X2] Cessus:
It was working fine before I flashed it to eclipse
[Motorola Droid X2] sd_shadow:
Apns are overwritten/installed with rom, eclipse and stock may not include correct apn for your carrier
[Motorola Droid X2] Cessus:
I did make up a backup originally in bsr before flashing to eclipse. This is starting to become too much of a headache and I'm starting to regret buying this droid x2 instead of just spending the extra hundred or so dollars to get a galaxy
[Motorola Droid X2] sd_shadow:
The backups made in bsr are called nandroids, try restoring it.
[Motorola Droid X2] Cessus:
I did. Idk if its just this phone but no way the others can be this glitchy. I ended up trading it for an iphone 4s 32gb which I'm super happy with. Hasn't lagged or stuttered once in the 2 months I've owned it. And opens up apps instantly. I actually giggled at the fact I could open up pandora and the music would be playing instantly. And I could text while listening to pandora and the whole phone not freeze up!

If I have downloaded movies on my nexus 7 2012, 4.4.4, how can I play them on my TV? I download movies that are a variety of formats. Usually play them on my tablet with MX, Diceplayer, or VLC. Is there anyway to get them on my TV? I have a 7 year old Panasonic plasma TH-50PX80U.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rbeavers:
Chromecast. If you have hmdi.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebrenda:
i thought chromcast would play certain subscription channels. i want to play movies from my nexus 7 2012, that are playing video files that i copied to the device, and they are playing in vlc, mx, diceplayer, etc.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PrizmaticSmoke:
Chromecast can do this, you can stream directly from certain apps on your device, or from your chrome browser on any PC, to the chromecast via your wifi network.

There are also other apps that help extend this functionality on our device, such as localcast and allcast, both free in the play store.

I've streamed movies/tv from MX player to my chromecast using the allcast app and it worked pretty well.

There's also a mod available to stream your screen to the chromecast without needing an extra app; i've not had the chance to test this myself yet, but it's been reported to work well (here's the thread: http://xdaforums.com/hardware-hacking/chromecast/experimental-enable-mirroring-device-t2812193) .

This functionality is now native to the 2013 Nexus 7, but sadly not for grouper :(
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebrenda:
The link "[EXPERIMENTAL] Enable Mirroring from any device" that you mentioned said that we need to have "root access on your device". How would I know if I have root access?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] John.T.Erskine:
AT&T pushed out the 4.4 update a few weeks ago and since my phone was rooted with custom recovery installed. The update soft-bricked the device. I have installed both of the roms from this post

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-2-att/development/rom-ds-ne5v1-i317-ucucne5-mj4-stock-t2803363

and with each of them the problem begins slowly and steadily increases to the point where I had to pull my battery at least 20 times today.

The screen turns off and will not respond to the unlock button being pressed. There does not seem to be any answer I can find through xda or google.

Since I have fewer than 10 posts I can not ask this question in the thread containing the roms.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Are you runners a custom rom or stock?

---------- Post added at 08:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:31 PM ----------

Running
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] John.T.Erskine:
Both ROMS are custom versions of stock.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] terpin32:
Did you undervolt the kernel in anyway? What rom are you on and what kernel you on?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] John.T.Erskine:
I did not do anything to the kernel. I have flashed DS-NE5v1 and DS-NE5v1-ButtNaked from here and both exhibited the same behavior.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] terpin32:
Ill send you a link of the settings from agni control app in a back up folder

---------- Post added at 09:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:55 PM ----------

Well didn't get what url you need but just search cart.3234 and look for the agni back up settings folder and download it and put it the phone storage not the sd card and go into the agni app and at the bottom it should say restore back up and do it then reboot after you restore it and let me know
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] John.T.Erskine:
Should I be searching for cart.3234 (that did not prove fruitful) or should I be searching carts for number 3234 (how would I do that)?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rangercaptain:
Before you flash any rom you need to wipe system.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] John.T.Erskine:
I did a factory data reset and weird the dalvik cache before each flash.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jparnell8839:
I just searched in both development sections, the help/q&a, and the general section. The only reference to the term "cart.3234" is in this thread.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] terpin32:
Oh sorry I thought I link but just type mega in the play store and download it then try to find my mega account
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rangercaptain:
Factory reset doesn't wipe the old system. When you change rom bases, you must wipe the old system, or you end up installing the new base on the old base creating many conflicts.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] terpin32:
He doesn't need to wipe the a system to flash a custom kernel
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rangercaptain:
True, but he has installed three different roms of different bases on top of each other. Before he does anything else, he must do a clean install of any rom, to include wiping system. Otherwise, anything else is just adding to the mess.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] terpin32:
Well most roms formats the system when you flash the rom in recovery I was just gonna have him try the kernel and the settings to maybe fix it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] SockmanTGR:
Try this.

Step 1: Boot into recovery(Power + volume up + home)

Step 2: Wipe data/factory reset

Step 3: Wipe cache partition

Step 4: Advanced

Step 5: Wipe dalvik cache

Step 6: +++++Go Back+++++

Step 7: Install the rom

Step 8: Repeat steps 3-7

Step 9: Repeat 3-5

Step 10: Reboot your phone normally

Step 11: Wait 5 or so minutes

Step 12: Boot into recovery

Step 13: Repeat 3-5

Step 14: If you know what a kernel is and intend to use one continue to Step 15 otherwise reboot your phone and have fun.

Step 15: Install your kernels the same way you would install a rom

Step 16: Repeat steps 3-5

Step 17: You are done.﻿
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] John.T.Erskine:
Thanks [MENTION=5807240]SockmanTGR[/MENTION] I was forgetting to wipe the cache. I did a fresh install two days ago and did not have to do a battery pull until this evening. Then I had to do it 3 times in a half an hour. I followed your steps and am hoping for better results this time around.

I know what a kernel is, but do not have any idea as to why I should prefer one over another. Can you offer any enlightenment on the subject?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rangercaptain:
A factory reset from recovery does those wipes.

---------- Post added at 08:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:44 PM ----------

Yeah, but all the developers tell you to format/wipe system before you install their roms.

I'm just giving my suggestion based on the OP flashing several roms and he never mentioned how he prepared his phone for the new rom.

If you apps are misbehaving the remedy is cache wipes, but not doing it won't cause the OP's issues.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] lonesoulja:
I'm running the same rom and having these same issues. Im running the buttnaked version. The rom already has Agni kernel as part of the rom. I have not installed many apps since I've flashed this rom and whenever it's not locking up or making me pull the battery it runs great. When I installed the rom I used twrp v2.7.2.2 and wiped the dalvik cache, cache, system, data, and internal storage then did the format data option. Rebooted the phone then installed then rebooted again and everything was good for the most part except having to pull my battery. I don't know if I could make changes in Agni kernel that would help?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] terpin32:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] John.T.Erskine:
This is driving me absolutely nuts. I followed all the instructions about formatting/wiping dalvik/wiping cache repeatedly and today the problem is as evident as ever and the phone has begun randomly freezing while in use.

The Note 4 can not get here soon enough.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] terpin32:
Were you able to try my settings I uploaded?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] John.T.Erskine:
I just applied your settings. My fingers are crossed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] terpin32:
that fix your problem?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] John.T.Erskine:
So far, so good. I have not had to pull the battery since late yesterday afternoon. Thank you very much. Can you offer any explanation as to what changed and why it matters?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] terpin32:
Sometimes the voltages get out of wack if your low cpu frequencys get to low it just like locks the phone or something in the rom can be messed up there's so many things that it could of been

Now like if you can find the rite guy they can tell you a way to send them a log of what happened when the phone wouldn't turn back on but that's over my head im starting to learn more about this stuff but that's later down the road
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallout4life:
- Try changing your kernel i know when i was on stock i was suffering alot of wake up lag or to a point my screen wouldnt even turn on and i had to pull the battery, change your kernel and tell me your results i suggest agni kernel.

Hey Codesnake - let me be the 1st to say "Good to see you on XDA" :) Just loving OpenElec - you efforts are very much appreciated.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ravi_buz:
Welcome Code!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Russell_S:
Firstly I'd just like to say that OpenELEC on the MX box is great. So many thanks to codesnake for your hard work.

No on to my problem which is probably something I'm doing wrong. I am currently running v4.0.6 and I want to update to 4.2 beta 3

However, my problem is that I am following the upgrade instructions in the wiki but when I try to connect to the box from a web browser on my PC by typing in the IP address I don't get the file manager display but instead I get a media display window where I can see thumbnails of all my movies, TV shows and music in the browser window.

How do I get the file manager display so I can drop the tar file into the update folder.

Thanks for any help
[Miscellaneous Android Development] codesnake:
You need to type the IP address in a Windows Explorer window rather than in Internet Explorer. Also make sure to prepend the IP address with two backslashes, for example \\192.168.1.46

Also note that you need to unpack the KERNEL, KERNEL.MD5, SYSTEM and SYSTEM.MD5 files from the TAR archive into Update folder, not just copy it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Russell_S:
I knew it was going to be something stupid I was doing wrong. I misread the wiki where it said 'type the IP address into the address bar of an explorer window' and read it as an internet explorer window.

Thanks very much for your help.

New User - Issue List

Hi codesnake,

Many thanks for the hours you've put into developing this ROM. It truly is the best one out there.

I'm running this rom on a AceMax Midnight MX2 Box and I'm using the AceMax Air Mouse

For some strange reason the Return key on the mouse doesn't work, however, when I disable to mouse feature the return key then works.

Is there any possibility to get the return key working with the mouse activated?

Many thanks.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] codesnake:
Hi Recallza,

To fix the issue I need to at least reproduce it, but because I don't have AceMax Air Mouse, it is currently impossible.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Recallza:
Hi Codesnake,

Thanks very much for the response:)

Hopefully someone else is able to reproduce the problem and fix it. To give some more information, I enabled debugging mode and checked the xbmc.log file and I couldnt record the button being pressed. As I said, when I turn Mouse off I'm then able to pickup on the buttons

I'm assuming by the below logs, that my Return button is my rightclick button :)

Hi All,

Something also to note - when I do press the Return key multiple times while mouse is enabled it'll work after the 4th or 5th time and then it's picked up in the logs, however when I press it just once it doesn't get picked up in the logs....
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ravi_buz:
Hey Code, Can you check why the update fails when we use any other application to extract the file except 7zip?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] codesnake:
I haven't ever used 7zip to unpack TAR files and don't have any problems with updates.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ravi_buz:
So what do you use to unpack it? I tried winzip and it fails always.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] codesnake:
I use my favorite file manager to unpack archives: Far Manager on Windows and Midnight Commander on Linux.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bobones:
Can anyone tell me what need to change to get this to boot on g02ref boxes, e.g. ATV1200?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] chuckconnors:
I know this is a long shot, but is there any way to get a remote display of the MX2 output on another machine? Something like VNC? I'd like to be able to control things using a PC from time-to-time and have the ability to use a physical keyboard. Right now I'm not at home but would like to install an addon and configure it. I'm pretty sure that I won't be able to do it, but it doesn't hurt to ask, right?

One other thing, I'm assuming that OpenElec will start releasing Helix builds in the somewhat near future. Are you planning on updating with Helix and Gotham builds?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] codesnake:
I make releases in sync with mainline OpenELEC. If they'll release a version based on Helix, I'll release it as well.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Russell_S:
New Version Of g18ref Board

I thought I would bring to peoples attention a new version of the MX box which although appears the same and reports itself as a g18ref it is different and causing me some problems.

I have a generic MX box (g18ref) which is running OpenELEC and I have been so impressed that I decided to buy another box from eBay. When the new box arrived the packaging was exactly the same as my original and initially the MX box itself looks exactly the same. However on closer inspection there are a few differences as shown in these pictures.

As you can see, the A/V socket and the SPDIF socket have swapped position and the ethernet socket is upside down.

Here is a comparison of the two circuit boards:-

As can be seen they are completely different.

When I got the new box I wanted to do a backup of the stock system before attempting to load OpenELEC but unfortunately I could not get any version of CWM to work and in attempting to boot into CWM it somehow corrupted the system and would no longer boot and stuck at the Android logo. I could boot into the stock 3e recovery but even doing a factory reset would not get it to boot again. So I then decided to just attempt to install OpenELEC as I had nothing to lose. This surprisingly went ok and OpenELEC booted up fine but with a few issues.

Firstly, the analogue sound does not appear to work. All I get from the analogue sound port is a permanant loud buzzing sound with no audio from whatever file is being played.

Secondly, when you press the remote control power button the box will just close and restart OpenELEC and not power down the box. It is not rebooting the box itself but just restarting OpenELEC.

For diagnostic purposes I then installed the Matricom 1.1.6 firmware to see if that would work ok. This seems to work as expected. The analogue sound works fine and the remote control power button powers off the box and restarts it as expected. The only small odd thing is that the power light on the box is blue when off and red when on which is the oposite of the original box.

The next thing I wiill try is installing croniccorey's MXLinux and see if that has the same issues.

So if anyone is having some strange issues then check what version of the MX box you have. You only have to look at the back panel at the positions of the A/V & SPDIF sockets and the orientation of the ethernet port.

I shall report back with any further information.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jellywobbles:
This is well documented on Freaktab - you may find that this box has a different MTD layout to your "proper MX box", and the circuit board is probably v1, whereas the latest circuit board for genuine g18ref clones is v2.22 ;) If you bought it off eBay (via Paypal) send it back for a refund - Paypal now covers you for 180 days!

BTW your images are the wrong way around - the genuine g18ref device has the AV port immediately to the left of the HDMI connector. SPDIF being next to USB-4. The lettering on the fake is also larger - and the font used for HDMI is wrong.

EDIT: The OP has now corrected this issue.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sag:
Why to unpack? Mine works placing the tar file. No need to unpack.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Rastaman-FB:
Hi Codesnake,

I actually found this build via the Matricom forums. I have a generic box but flashed the matricom 1.6 firmware and then found this build.

I have flashed this fine and it makes the android box fly however I use a synology NAS over ethernet. 720p films play lag free however the 1080 variants seem to have a 1ms stutter every second. i can only call this choppyness but its not enough to really be defined as that. probably a little laggy.

Is there any known reasons for this behaviour? i used to get it on the android build but i put that down to android being a bit of a resource hog.

I run my ethernet over 10/100 Powerline adaptors however it seems to work fine from pc/laptop media players over the same network

could it be a setting ive goofed up in XBMC?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dracosc:
Hi Codesnake. I have a problem with my box and cant enter recovery mode. But i can connect it to my pc and use AML Burning tool and AML Flash tool.......

Is there a way you can provide an .img image of your super Openelec for me to flash from windows?

Thanks in advance!
