[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Extosis:
Good evening,

I am having trouble figuring out this device.

I have a Verizon Motorola G on 4.4.4 firmware model XT1028

I have been trying to root this device. but I am stuck.

This is what I tried,

- Unlocking bootloader through Motorola website = failed (not available for Verizon phones)

- installed "SunShine" = failed (needs temporary root in order to go further)

- tried to temporarily root this device = failed

(

now I have no idea wth to do. Any means of directing to the correct place or helping me, would be much appreciated.

Thank you
[HTC Desire 510] coolspyguy:
recently got the 510 with the dot view lite case, which so far wasn't worth the $50. Unlike the similar case for the m8, you can't even swipe up or down to recieve or end calls, having to use the power button instead. I'm wondering if theirs a mod or an app that I could get that could give this case some more features other than telling me the time and allow me to see certain notifications. I've seen some for the m8 but haven't found any for the desire 510 yet. Any help is appreciated!
[HTC Desire 510] Teet1:
You can use the Dot View Mods Xposed module. But most useful features require you to purchase the key. However, the mod was made for the M8 and the Desire 510's screen has a relatively small DPI. The mods don't look good and some of them crash dot view. I use the mod but I use the custom notifications only

Hi there.

This question may have been asked before, and I used the search function, but didn't find a satisfying answer.

Do you guys know of any (S)NES/gameboy emulator that works on the TyTN?

PocketNester seems to have problems with the screen being in landscape...

Thnx
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] rlei:
I know this is not much helpful either...I'm working on a new version of PocketNester which may be released in several weeks.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Shamanix:
Try Morphgear.. it works fine on my TyTN..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] mrvanx:
Cool! The one thing I was put off by with SNES emulators was that you were forced to use the touchscreen, and the interface for that took up a good 1/3rd of the screen!

Are you showing it full screen in landscape and allowing use of the hardware keyboard to control?!? train journeys would be even better (still good thanks to coreplayer but...) if SNES games were on the agenda also!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] dmxl:
Will you please post here when it's finished? I thank you very much in advance.

And Shamanix, thanks for your tip to use Morphgear. I think I did that, and it didn't work. I'll try again. Which version are you using?

Regards,

DM
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Shamanix:
I am using v2.4.0.1, but there is a newer version out there..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] rlei:
Landscape support: Yes, as well as VGA support.

But the new features in this version will not be just limited to that. :cool:

Speak of SNES emulator...we'll see ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] bigruss:
PocketGBA is surprisingly good, I play without sound though so that may have an impact.

http://www.sunbug.net/products/emul/PocketGBA.html

You can play in landscape and assign the message and internet keys to a and b so it's like holding a proper games console

oh yes and it's free :-D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] thecresta:
I use PocketSNES - works fine on most games.

Also use CEGG (GameGear/Master System), PicoDrive (Genesis/Megadrive), GNUboy and PocketGBA and recommend them all (well, some versions...).

Fed up of emulation on Hermes though, what with the multiple-key bug and lack of diagonals. Can't seem to play a game without using the on-screen pad and hardware keys simultaneously. Real pain.

On the other hand, there's PocketSCUMM!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CROSP:
I am looking for some good articles, videos or books to learn about memory management in Android from kernel perspective. I want to find answers for such questions : type of memory (paging ,segmentation), multiprocessor or multicore memory access and synchronization and so on.

I have recently started reading "Understanding Linux Kernel" book. I found it a bit complicated and large. I don't really know if I should study all the stuff covered in this book, because this book is relatively old (2005 year). So maybe there a lot of stuff that can be omitted because of new mechanism of kernel building.

So I really not interested in windows kernels, only in unix and linux, the main goal is Android. I want really dive deep into internals of android.

So I am asking you to suggest good things to read to get as closer as it possible to Android internal parts and ARM architecture. Maybe you can suggest another good books to read about linux kernel which covers all modern techniques and approaches of building operating systems and kernels. I hope you can suggest a really useful reading or watching material. Thx in advance.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] K3Sh:
I was really surprised when I found this today: Note 3 32GB at AUD 310 !!

I was planning to buy it but this seems too good to be true? What do you guys think?

It looks suspicious to me at first glance.. I've sent a message to them asking whether it's refurbished or brand new.

I'll let you know when I get the reply

Thanks!

[Samsung Infuse 4G] bowntie:
I need help verifying that the Samsung Infuse 4G only came in the size 4.5" screen.

I sold my old unlocked AT&T phone (great condition) on Ebay and now the buyer wants a refund.

He said that he wanted the bigger screen Samsung Infuse and my item wasn't as described.

I'm pretty sure a bigger screen does not exist. :confused:

Here is a copy/paste of his last message to me:

"it is not only one size as you said, 4.5'"

yours is Infuse 4G SGH-I997 ,

But i need the Infuse 4G SGH- i997 ,bigger size."

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmarkortiz:
In Az we get a lot of telemarket scam calls and i remember when i had my oneplus one when a call would come in there was an option to blacklist call so it would get rejected, is there a way to do this on nexus 6 . sorry if this has been asked already
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Use a custom ROM as they have this blacklisting feature, or download a app from the Play Store that does something similar.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] land2634:
Check out Root Call Blocker on the Play Store. Does the trick for me.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] H.Ahmadi:
I would love to know if this is possible on the stock rom. My Note 3 used to have this option.

If not available on stock is there any app on play store that works well in blocking unwanted calls?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LordGeek:
The Root Call Blocker looks good, however, I do not want to root my phone in order to have an application work.

Is there another that actually works with our phone and Android Lollipop ?

I have installed 6 different Call Blockers off Google Play now, none of the 6 work !! Any ideas ?

Would be nice if Google could implement that into there next build.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SAW_JOK3R:
Why do you guys need root to use call blocker? :confused: This Call Blocker App works perfectly fine :laugh:
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LordGeek:
Thanks for the referral SAW_JOK3R .. however, this is one I also tested. Yes, it does work, however, if I Blacklist/Block a number, I DO NOT want it to go straight to voicemail .. I want it to just disconnect/hangup the call.

The only program I have used in the past that does this successfully is BlackList Pro .. but, this app is not fully compatible with Lollipop just yet.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PaisanNYC:
There are a few good apps to do this, but you refuse to root, so no sense in naming them. But just putting this here for others who come by and read this in the future, there ARE Lollipop-compatible blacklist apps.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LordGeek:
That was pointless !!

Lollipop-compatible as long as you root.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PaisanNYC:
Your opinion is just that. Please don't start any issues or drama.

The fact remains,for those of you searching and come across this thread, several good apps that require root do this very well. RCB Pro is what I use and works perfectly so far on stock 5.0.1
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] springer.music:
This call blocker doesn't require root and it seems to work well:

This doesn't not really block the call, just directs it straight to voicemail.

In Google Voice/Hangouts you can block numbers. You never get anything from that number once blocked.

Anyone have a Nexus 6 and one of these? I'm curious how much a full charge nets you on the Nexus 6 battery and if there is quick charge support or hit when using the quick charging feature?

It doesn't support quick charge. You can look at Qualcomms website to see the approved quick charge devices and battery packs

nevermind :) solved it (building and waiting to try) you can find everything into my github https://github.com/manups4e

the problem was into the include of camera.h that was linked to the wrong file i just added the include in makefile and voilà :)

[G3 Developer Discussion [Developers Only]] Xerionius:
I'm sorry for spamming here, but the question has been resolved, so I'm still asking this here.

What does this mean? Will we get a better camera quality after this has been implemented or will we get full support of Android L's camera api?
[G3 Developer Discussion [Developers Only]] manups4e:
for the first question: i don't know ^^

for the second: yeah that's the intent

Awesome mate, is this for a AOSP based build or stock?
[G3 Developer Discussion [Developers Only]] Abaddon:
for all I think. new api's so better camera
[G3 Developer Discussion [Developers Only]] shaneel1491:
Okay, seems like a promising project.

I am using a G2 and as far as I know the camera modules on the G3 and the G2 are the same, with the exception of the laser.

I wonder if the CM/AOSP with support for the new API's (that you are working on) could be ported to the G2?

Are you able to compile without errors? This project seems very promising. Keep it up!

it will be awesome to see lg g3's camera app to work on aosp roms :)
[G3 Developer Discussion [Developers Only]] manups4e:
well in cyanogenmod you are already using LG camera drivers (camera.vendor.msm8974.so) the only problem is that we're not using stock camera app since it doesn't work without LG framework..
[G3 Developer Discussion [Developers Only]] latino147:
Is that what you are basically trying to do? Porting parts of that Framework to AOSP?
[G3 Developer Discussion [Developers Only]] manups4e:
No

I'm trying to make the aosp drivers to work but i need LG codes that we don't have
[G3 Developer Discussion [Developers Only]] skiiermike:
Would it help if you used the stock camera app that was made for the G2? It Works on the G3 as it is but it doesn't have the extra G3 features.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2522889
[G3 Developer Discussion [Developers Only]] manups4e:
No it won't the error I'm getting right now is about camera driver not founding right device because of LG declaration missing
[G3 Developer Discussion [Developers Only]] MrSteve555:
Well, the weird thing is that LG seems to not report that 4K is supported via standard API or anything that talks to the apps(the highest reported res is 1080p). Only the OEM framework-dependent camera and other similar apps can use it, kinda reminds me of Sony's hidden illumination API.

Anyway, maybe achieving stock image quality is doable, but 4K recording would require additional hackery if LG isn't using main camera API for reporting some features.

Just my 2 cents :)

EDIT: Other than being not true, I totally missed the point of the thread. Didn't understand that it's about bringing camera2 API to G3, thought it was something different. Apologies ;)
[G3 Developer Discussion [Developers Only]] manups4e:
naaaa it's because they changed 2160p name into media_profiles into 4KUHD and other camera apps don't recognize it
[G3 Developer Discussion [Developers Only]] ikenley:
Any progress on this? Is CM team working on this?
[G3 Developer Discussion [Developers Only]] manups4e:
not good right now... i can't get to work without LG codes... and no cm team will not work on this because of the lack of closed sources..

I will happily work on this with you.

One of the issues your having is mismatched kernel drivers, also happens to show no device when I try to use lollipop blobs

Oh, gerrit also now has work around so 4k is enabled with the current blobs and wrappers
[G3 Developer Discussion [Developers Only]] manups4e:

True but I'd like them to do :D I hate lg's stock ui so much and I hate that I have to sacrifice camera functionality for good looks. IMO Only HTC's sense and aosp are pleasant looking.

[G3 Developer Discussion [Developers Only]] reza1995live:
So if the flex2 has the same sensor with g3 and also has the full api2...lg can't say we can't implement the api2 on g3 because of sensor manufacture right?

When i was going to buy g3 i had doubt to buy g3 or a amateur dslr camera so like you when i heard about lollipop and that api i said g3s camera will be enough for me.

It's a paid app that's worth owning if you like taking pictures with the G3.

I switch between Xcam and the M9 camera port (links to that aren't allowed, search Google for its Plus community) and only use the stock camera app when I mistakenly open it (icon is similar to M9 port).
[G3 Developer Discussion [Developers Only]] EMJI79:
I do enjoy taking photos with the g3. I like the stock app except I feel the colors are not 100% accurate especially the greens.

I have tried "Open camera" which seems to have better colors (but I may be wrong).

I have downloaded the m9 port except it doesn't work (v1), is it only for cm and doesn't work for stock?

Anyway thanks for the hint.
[G3 Developer Discussion [Developers Only]] skeevydude:
I'm using M9 port on Cloudy 2.2 without issues. Make sure to flash the 1.1 G3 resolution fix for it as well.
