[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blastagator:
I'm trying to compile TWRP from the Omni Source. I download the omni source, breakfast d800 and added in the blobs.

To compile recovery I did

make clean && make -j5 recoveryimage

When I flash the image, it boots, but the graphics are distorted. So much so you can't tell what you're doing (horrible diagonal lines)

Anyone know how to fix this???

Thanks!

Hi guys,

I was looking for a good Bluetooth enabled game to play with some friends, but I haven't been able to find a 3 player compatible game. They seem to come few and far between, but I was looking to see if any of you have any recommendations/opinions.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Al.Gray:
Hi there,

After screwing up my Samsung S3 and until I can somehow get it fixed, I am seriously considering purchasing a Samsung Galaxy Note 3, but really 'only' if I am able to successfully root it and able to run ''Directory-Bind' on it as I do on my S3 now. Could I get a thumbs up here that Directory-Bind is compatible with a Galaxy Note 3 running Android 4.3, or if if it's not compatible, a suitable alternative, as I want to be able to mount an external SD card and run apps/games from that, as I do now with my S3. If Directory-Bind isn't compatible with, can someone please name me a good suitable alternative that is?

As usual, if this question has been answered previously, my apologies.

Thanks in advance.

Signature failed

I have a rooted Slatebook 10 X2 via the expensive cable and am trying to install the files above. However, when following the instructions and trying from two different locations, USB stick and Downloads folder, I get the same error message: Signature Verification failed.

Suggestions?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] SEC_SAM:
Which recovery?

It should be CWM, but after reading the original rooting instructions via the "expensive cable" method, it seems I will have to run the maya-0.1.img again and sideload TWRP, then install MayaMod.

I think what happens with the original rooting is that it is a one-time deal. If you want to make changes at a later date you have to run the .img file again to go into CWM and then make the changes.

It was forever getting my PC to recognize my Slatebook. I guess I am back in the ADB business, like it or not. :)

I remember when I first rooted it using the "expensive cable" method and that I had a real challenge then and it was all about the USB drivers. Stupid me did not write down the steps so now I am having to go through the same process again, but this time with NO luck.

Does anyone have maybe a list of items for me to check out to assure that whatever conflict I have is removed and I can install MayaMod? It would be most appreciated.

Thanks.

A Solution for us non-techies

I kept trying to connect my tablet to my PC and failed miserably. So, I started trying ROM installers that I found in Google Apps. After trying 4-5 of them I came across FLASHIFY. It is FREE for the first three flashes and for $3.99 (US) you unlock it and can flash whatever you want.

I used my first two flashes to flash the IMG file provided via the "expensive cable" method and the TWRP zip file, both done as a batch. The TWRP zip file did not fully install so I used my third flash to reflash the TWRP zip file and this time it installed correctly. I then paid the $3.99 (US) and used Flashify to install the MayaMod zip file.

MayaMod is great, has many cool features, not to mention the opening screen.

Many thanks to everyone for your guidance.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Juanig:
Flashify app is used to flash kernels and recoveries from booted Android, very useful for rooted devices without custom recoveries or fastboot access. Free version is limited to 3 files per day but you can use Rashr app (included in MayaMod) which is basically the same but with no limit and for free.

Now that you achieved it, welcome to this thread and I hope you enjoy MayaMod.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] SEC_SAM:
GREAT ROM

Thanks for the hard work and the QUALITY ROM.

This version seems to run a little smoother, not that the other was slow, this one is just better. I like it. Anyone that has a SlateBook 10 X2 should use this ROM. Make your system closer to what HP should have made in the first place.

BTW, I know I have mentioned this before, but seriously, is it impossible to work around Google and the tablet makers and make an app that will run apps from an external SD card? Or just so much trouble that it isn't worth the effort?

From a marketing perspective, it seems to me that if you made the app and continued to expand the database of tablets upon which it is compatible, you could sell them to anyone that has a tablet.

An interesting thought.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] waldeis:
Is there a detailed guide for a n00b? I just purchased a Slatebook X2 which was coming already with the latest stock 4.3 installed and i do not have the "expensive" cable that i was reading about. I have to admit that i never flashed a custom ROM on an Android device but i would give it a try if i know how. In general i also do not have any big issues with the stock 4.3 image, beside the fact that sometimes the battery drains overnight (but i was reading in another thread that other users reported that as well, so i guess it's an issue in the HP version.)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Juanig:
If your version is 4.3-17r20-05-24 you can't root without cable, sorry :(

Here is the link to how to use the cable to root the device. One rooted via cable then you can go back to the MAYA thread and finish rooting your device. When using the cable what you get is a hybrid root. The MAYA thread will give you all you need to know for the finish.

If you can't find it on widgets list is probably because you removed it in Aroma Installer. You can install it manually from ROM .zip

At a loss how to proceed.

I installed Clean Master and proceeded to remove the apps I do not use. To say the least, it was a ton of stuff. However, I tried to install the battery widget again and was told again that I do not have enough space to install it. I am at a loss as to what to do next. Any ideas?

See screenshots below.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Juanig:
You cannot install the apk because its already installed (see your second screenshot text). Maybe you should make a full wipe and install the ROM again to avoid those problems.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] SEC_SAM:
It took me awhile to figure out the widget, and it now works, but I still can install NOTHING and for the same reasons in the pics I posted. I figure you are right about me having to install the ROM again, but have you any ideas as to what causes the "not enough room" error messages? It would do that BEFORE it was ROOTED, but all of that ceased when I installed your ROM. Now, for some reason unknown to me, something has changed and now nothing will install.

Any guidance you provide is sincerely appreciated.

The reinstall fixed it. Now, how do I get the Google Bar off of the top of the main screen? Which Google app controls that?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Juanig:
Install Xposed Framework and Xposed GEL Settings module or just use another launcher.

Launchers

I have rotated between Google and Apex and it does not leave and seemingly gives no option to remove it.

Update suggestions for Maya 2.1

1. Root the 5.1 stock ROM and make it compatible with our Slatebooks.

2. Give us the ability to run our apps from SD card #1 - I still think this is a super feature if you can figure out how to do it. One method I have used on a Note 2 phone is a script that "fools" the phone into believing the SD card is the Internal memory. It worked great.

Hi!

I have problem with my HTC One m7 (ViperOne 7.0.1).

While I changed something in /system/app folder (eg. deleted a "DriveActivator.apk" - successfully accomplished) and restart phone, I see again that deleted app!!!

Do you know why? I'm using RootExplorer, I have root and granted permissions to r/w.

It seems like system restores some kind of backup - I don't know why, and I don't know how to fix it (I mean do some permanent changes in /system/app).
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajbiz11:
It appears that the System isn't booted with RW capabilities

There's a nice long command that I'll give you later that will fix it

If you wanna get it sooner and aren't afraid of adb shell (make sure you have root access enabled for adb AND apps, not just apps) you can Google remount Linux system read/write and you should find it

You'll need to modify that command to reflect the One, but the name of the partition should be something like by-name-system or something

I'll get it later if you need it when I wake up
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dry3333:

Wish I knew this existed when I was working on the L port

There's an app to do exactly what you need without looking up partitions

Although if you want to go through terminal, here's a tutorial

http://ckirbach.wordpress.com/2012/11/27/how-to-remount-system-as-read-write-in-android/

Basically, you use grep to find the name of the system partition, then run the mount command to remount the partition you found in that precious step
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dry3333:
I have this app: Mount /system (rw / ro), also I have this option in superuser and it works fine - I mean that I can change /system/app or for eg. edit /etc/hosts (I get message that ES explorer granted superuser access), but after restart I see previous files (before changes)... I have no idea how make this work - maybe I need custom kernel or something? I want to make permanent changes in system files...

I have reinstalled system (clean option with wipe all data), but still no results...
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajbiz11:
The remount app should do exactly that

Try the command option and make your changes then reboot
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dry3333:
I have tried - still no results. My system already has RW permissions. Problem is that after restart my files are "restored".

Analogously like in Cisco IOS - commit but without write memory.

Maybe I should go to recovery and do something (but I don't know what)?

adb wait-for-device

echo.

adb -d shell stop

adb -d shell su -c "mount -o remount rw /system"

adb -d shell rm /system/app/DriveActivator.apk

adb reboot

This should remove DriveActivator (while script is ongoing I see no errors), but after reboot DriveActivator.apk is still in /system/app...

Is there any other way to permanently remove/change files in /system/app?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajbiz11:
You can remove it from the ViperROM zip and format ONLY system and reflash

That SHOULD work
