Me too..

Add me to the list of people interested in this. There is a ton of MPEG2 content out there - US broadcast TV is all MPEG2. Enabling MPEG2 would open a ton of possibilities for this device.
[Nexus Player General] WhiteWidows:
Glad I wasn't the only one interested in this. I think its ridiculous to make a so called TV devices with no mpeg hw decoding

Update is I have been trying to build ffmpeg in to lollypop but it keeps failing. I going to at least try to build lollypop from source (arm) first because its been since jellybean I have done it. I'm a bit rusty ?

In the thread above, they claim that mx player is able to hardware decode mpeg2 with intel code plugin. Has anyone looked into this for a solution?
[Nexus Player General] WhiteWidows:
When the hdhomerun view app/googles live TV app launches a mpeg-2 stream which in turn uses androids default media player. There is no option to use MX or change to that. I wouldn't want to use MX as the over lays for the guide would not work. I tried another build last night but again it failed. Lat time I built android was back in the ICS daysband never with ffmpeg. I not sure I'm even going about this the correct way.

I just noticed a thread about a CM11 port for the GeeksPhone Revolution which runs an Intel® Atom™ processor Z2560. The processor is 32bit x86, but usually these things are backwards compatible.

I had Adrenaline 1.9 installed and all was working fine. A program locked up this afternoon and after restarting the phone, the white HTC screen would come up but nothing further. I rebooted to recovery to try to reinstall my backup (latest TWRP) and that failed. I have no OS installed is what I see. I tried to reload a RUU using the sdcard method; it sees the image zip, appears to load, but after reboot I once again get the white HTC logo with nothing further. Help please. Rooted and S-off.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DSinfinite:
Quick question, I'm seeing the few ROM's available to DL and flash now all have decryption built in do you think there will be any ROM'S that devs might develop that have same encryption as stock or am I inevitably going to have to decrypt? Thanks!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Some of the roms give you the option to be encrypted or decrypted, it is not forced upon you. Its based on the kernel that you're using so you'll have to look into them.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smallsmx3:
The roms have encryption but is not enforced. If your encrypted you'll stay encrypted. If your decrypted you'll stay that way.... If you want to encrypt just simply format your data and you will encrypt upon boot
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DSinfinite:
The Pure Shamu ROM for example, I'm still encrypted just like stock and when I flashed it I was required to enter a password yet the dev states the ROM comes with stock kernel - I guess I'm confused w/ this whole encryption scenario..

Xperia Z Ultra GPE 5.0 update

My first install of the OTA update resulted in an error, so I did some research and found out that my phone can't be rooted. So after unrooting through superuser and doing a factory reset, i finally received the OTA update again today, yet i still get the same error. The phone will reboot to install the update and the status bar will stop and the screen will show the android on his back and say error, then i have to force shutdown to boot my phone back up.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] HULK SMASH!!!!:
So I started out with a Galaxy S4. Which was easy to do anything and everything with a simple Google (GOOGLE FAHTAGAN!!!!) search. Now I have a Sony Z Ultra GPE, and I love it, but doing things is exceedingly more difficult due to its relative obscurity. Also, I am a truck driver. I work at night hauling 2 28" trailers for FedEx, so I am a dabbler not an expert by any means. My one great skill is I can follow directions! So, the groundwork having been laid:

Is there a step by step thread someplace on how I can gain root access? I have Android Lollipop 5.0 on my Sony Xperia Z Ultra GPE. I just want to fix the sdcard thingy and make the Archer Pirate Virus my loading animation. :):fingers-crossed::good:

If you are on 5 already and haven't rooted and backed up the TA partition on 4.4.4 the you are buggered if you want to keep a working camera
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] HULK SMASH!!!!:
So, yes I had rooted 4.4.4. I unrooted, backed up my TA partition, the used ADB to sideload stock 5.0. So now my question is how do I reroot? So far I've used Geohot's towelroot. So what do I do now?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
Unlock the bootloader if it is locked (you didn't have to restore the TA/lock the bootloader to OTA to 5.0)

then either

Hotboot DooMLoRD's V2 kernel [fastboot boot <path_to_boot.img>]

Boot into temp recovery

Flash superSU from recovery

or

Fastboot DooMLoRD's rooted system/boot/etc .img in the dev section (I've not tested this)

[fastboot flash <partition_name> <partition.img>]

I hope that makes sense

[LG G Watch] rolrctermaniac:
When I get a message from facebook, it almost always looks the same. usually along the lines of "this is the fir..." but sometimes it is formatted such that it is a long paragraph on the messenger app displaying most of the message but the ending is still cut off with elipses. Is there a fix or workaround for this problem? The last thread I found on the topic was from 6 months ago when there was no messenger support for android wear and it was just the notifications being pushed to the watch. Now that there is notification support is there some way to get the whole message to the watch?

Edit: Discovered that this only happens when there are multiple unread messages in a conversation. very annoying.

Google play music works great.

Google play movies force closed on first attempt at playing a movie (i'll give it another go in a bit)

Edit: Gave Google play movies another go.

If you've recently watched a movie on another device - that movie will appear in the initial screen "Watch Now"

If you press that movie - you can view it no problem.

If you go into your library and choose a movie - the app closes.

Solution: If you want to watch a movie from google play on you Fire TV then watch it on another device (only a few seconds needed) first

I followed the tutorial but I am not entirely sure whether the part with ADB has worked (I connected to ADB over WiFi, Amazon Fire TV Stick, 54.1.1.0_user_110031420) or not. Google Play Games and Chrome are working, but Gmail and Drive are not.

Gmail starts, but there appears a message that there is an unknown problem with Google Play Services - but if I quickly go to settings, the app does not crash until I return to the start screen/synchronise.

Google Drive crashes immediately.

Play Music works with local music (haven't tested streaming).

Who have this case any recommendations?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] ionutdicu:
Perfect

I have one, grey colour. After trying many cases, I think this one does the best job. It protects well and also leaves the phone accents to be easily seen.

Sure, I am not the biggest fan of TPU cases as they tend to loose in time, but this one is actually quite ok.

And one more thing: it definitely does not scratch the metal edges.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] TyroneS:
it's not a bad case,but beware if there's a dust will scratch the silver side of note 4...

also after 2month usage,the bottom of the case start loosing,but typical problem for tpu case after some times

Hi,

I have a question to OP. Is the TPU case thick enough to protect the back camera from touching the ground surface when placing on table or floor etc?

I have purchased a cheap TPU case before but it leave the back camera exposed to the potential of scratching when placing on table. Currently using Spigen Neo Hybrid which works perfect but look a bit bulky.

Thanks.

I just hate the sticky rubbery feel of TPU. Just feels cheap to me. Also these TPU cases tend to sag and loosen over time.

Hi guys, I'm currently on AOKP kitkat build for my XL. The battery drain is bad even leaving on idle. I noticed on battery usage, "Google Services" is always the top contributor in the battery drain. Clicking it showing it keeping awake the phone for hours. I didn't notice this "Google Services" on top of the battery drain chart on my Asus Transformer TF101 tablet (on KitKat) which doesn't drain its battery much on idle, so i think might not be KitKat problem.

So, is it ROM problem? I've tried liquid smooth before but drain was as bad as AOKP. Any idea to prevent Google services for keeping the awake without changing ROM?
[Sony Xperia L] mvv1277:
In Liquid smooth you can prevent wake up due to google play services:

1. Goto Security->privacy guard.

2. On right top corner, click on menu and select show all apps.

3. Go to google play services .

4. goto bottom and there will be 'keep awake' permission. Deny it.

Same for google service framework.

See if issue is gone.

Hello Guys,

I have the old default brown colored Snote on my device. The same is linked to s pen detachment too. The problem is i cant copy or paste in this s note for some reason. I can perform these functions everywhere else.

I have an updated snote too (the red one) sadly it never replaced the old one as it should have and doesnt even sync the notes from the old one. The cop/paste function perfectly here.

i tried to leave the old app (the brown one) but there no option to trigger the new s note page when s pen is detached. The setting for spen just say pop up note and thats always the old one by default.

Can anyone help me in this reagrd?

I just rooted the one I picked up, go here http://www.mgyun.com/en/getvroot Download that and let it install. Then turn on usb debugging on the tablet, connect it and let it install the misc stuff. Once root is clickable click it, Reboots and comes back up. Should be rooted but use a Chinese app. Download root checker to verify and on the pop up hit the right button. Once passes download supersu from market, open it to install hit the left option on the popup, click the check mark box and right button. Then do the restart supersu asks for, wait for a reboot and verify supersu can grant access with root checker.

Now if you get 3 Chinese apps two you can uninstall but the original one like supersu you can't. Download root browser from market got to system>app and look for irootsu.apk. (Also may have a SuperUser.apk Delete it as well) Long press and delete followed by enjoy ;) I also played with the app they have so may have been where some apps came from you may find you don't have.
