I have to say Plex. I knew nothing about it when I set it up, but instructions were easy to follow. their support forums have some great people to help.

Plex handles and transcodes all my videos, and handles SRT files fine. I also like Plex because it can be used on so many platforms (home computer, tablets, phones, gaming consoles. etc)
[Nexus 9 Themes and Apps] chivamex10:
Any trick to get the videos to play full screen?
[Nexus 9 Themes and Apps] Lokke9191:
Popcorn time has its own streaming built in ie the cast button in the app once the video is playing. That will always be full screen when casted to the tv from within the app. For other video players when casting from the utility built into android l, youll have to change the aspect ratio in your tv settings under pucture section. I hope that all makes sense, i know its a little wordy. Let me know if you have any questions.
[Nexus 9 Themes and Apps] chivamex10:
I don't see the casting icon... Do I have to download a 3rd party app?
[Nexus 9 Themes and Apps] Lokke9191:
No 3rd party app needed. Just make sure youre running popcorn time version 2.4.1 and have your chromecast setup.

[LG Optimus Black] hardstyl3:
I'm wondering if there is someone that can make protective cases for my lg p970.

Are there?

If not,can somebody give me a protective case with soething about hardstyle? If you know what hardstyle is...
[LG Optimus Black] androcraze:
http://www.amazon.com/Trident-Case-...sr=8-2&keywords=optimus+black+trident+trident

I consider the Trident the best cover for the Optimus Black.
[LG Optimus Black] hardstyl3:
yes...

agree with you but i want something about hardstyle,rave or something like that or someone that can make protective cases as i wish:victory:
[LG Optimus Black] androcraze:
You could get a generic, solid-colored case and put decals on it or "skin" it yourself:

https://www.decalgirl.com/skins/LG-Marquee-LS855-Skins

https://www.etsy.com/browse/mobile-accessories/phone-covers/decals/?ship_to=US

http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=sr_pg_1...ywords=lg+marquee+case&ie=UTF8&qid=1420249756

www.decalgirl.com offers custom cases and decals; the company offers stuff for the LG Marquee LS885, and that's the same body as the Optimus Black.
[LG Optimus Black] hardstyl3:
Where to go to make my own custom case? i dont get it. Can you help me a little?
[LG Optimus Black] androcraze:
Can you show an example of what you mean by "custom"? Custom HOW?

Images on the cover?

Unique color?

Custom material? (wood, for example)

Decorations?

Getting someone to make a one-off, single-production cover will cost you more than the phone is worth.

If I wanted to personalize a phone, I'd get a plain hard case like one of these:

http://www.amazon.com/LG-Marquee-LS...d=1420295400&sr=1-18&keywords=lg+marquee+case

http://www.amazon.com/MYBAT-LGLS855...d=1420295753&sr=1-83&keywords=lg+marquee+case

http://www.amazon.com/LG-Marquee-LS...d=1420295753&sr=1-90&keywords=lg+marquee+case

http://www.amazon.com/LG-Marquee-Si...d=1420295753&sr=1-91&keywords=lg+marquee+case

http://www.amazon.com/LG-Marquee-Le...d=1420295753&sr=1-96&keywords=lg+marquee+case

I'd then use that as a canvas to put decals and stickers onto. You could even have a local artist of your choosing paint something on it
[LG Optimus Black] hardstyl3:
I've found this: http:/ /ww w.artscow.c om/Create/AjaxDesign.aspx?DesignId=145038148

But it worth? I live in Romania and i guess that the shipping will cost more than the item. How much does the shipping tax would be?
[LG Optimus Black] androcraze:
I don't know about shipping taxes. I live in the USA and don't deal with over-seas shipping.

I'd look on amazon.com sites based in the EU first.

There are many cover designs out there for the OB P-970/Marquee LS-885; you just need to find an affordable outlet.

Hello i am new to all of this and am trying to learn how to research or if there is a book that could help me, i am trying to learn how to use cdma workshop. I saved all myy money working at a used cell store to open my own, i am a single mom. The only reason i mentioned that is because i have spent about 86 hours just this past 5 days trying to figure out.
[LG G Watch R] ro_explorer:
I saw a few guys complaining about the scratched/bumped bezel which looks ugly because the paint will reveal the metal underneath.

Well, I also damaged my watch by accidentally hitting it :(. Permanent markers are not a good solution because they do not last.

Apparently the bezel is made out of aluminium and only the watch body is made out of steel, that why, maybe, the bezel is less resistant.

Last evening though, an idea came to my mind, which I also applied on the watch. The result is promising :).

Using some fine sandpaper (600) and some real paper after that, I completely removed the paint from the top of the bezel.

As a technique, I laid the sandpaper on a flat surface (table) and then I pressed the watch on it while rubbing it. After the paint was completely removed, I did the same operation but using a regular sheet of paper (to add a nice finish on the metal surface).

Please be careful: you have to press the watch against the sandpaper (laid on a flat, hard surface), not the other way around. In this way you leave no room for mistakes and the revealed metal will be uniform and nice, w/o weird edges.

This is the result.
[LG G Watch R] hlhmark:
That actually looks really nice! I'm Impressed with it :). Just out of Curiosity what watchface is that also as it suits the watch really well.
[LG G Watch R] ro_explorer:
That's a custom watch face for WatchMaker (built by me). You can download it from here.
[LG G Watch R] Tonio78370:
I'm not sure I have the b... sorry guts for this kind of job
[LG G Watch R] Robert'sTP2:
First Hardware Mod!

That looks great! I know it's just a matter of time before I will need to do this. I have sanded/polished like this before and may I warn everyone:

Make sure you keep the sandpaper flat. If it rolls up under the face it will scratch the screen.​

Better yet, only do this with a screen protector.
[LG G Watch R] Darnell_Chat_TN:
Really nice. You should offer your services for a fee, to do this for others afraid to do it themselves. Not that you'd offer any guarantees, but you have proof you know how to do it right ;) .
[LG G Watch R] srphoenix:
Wow that's a great fix for this. Showed the scratches on my bezel to the lg team at ces and they were surprised and would follow up with me after the show. They said they hadn't come across this issue (which I find hard to believe). Like you mentioned OP the bezel is aluminum and the lower parts are steel and seem to be much more durable paint wise.

I'm hoping they might send me a new watch with some better paint but if not I'm definitely going to use this method!
[LG G Watch R] neils31:
it does look good, however once you do this there is no going back ........

if you want a better finish you may want to try crocus paper after you have removed the paint on the bezel, crocus paper is very fine and may give a smoother finish.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crocus_cloth
[LG G Watch R] ro_explorer:
Once you have bumped the outer bezel into an outer object, hard enough to expose the metal under the paint, the is no going back either. But at least, there is a way to move forward :).
[LG G Watch R] grafikal:
So very true.

I personally think that looks fantastic and a milliion times better than a scratched bezel. Mine hasn't recieved any scratches yet, but seeing your results, I'm no longer panicked about that happening.

Thank you for a great solution!
[LG G Watch R] neils31:
yes of course, I like the look of it too :)

How long have you had the watch since you did this? Is there any signs of corrosion on the exposed Aluminium?
[LG G Watch R] ro_explorer:
I did the operation on January 2nd (when I posted on the forum :) ). One full week passed since then .. no signs on the metal surface whatsoever (expected, it's aluminum and this does not corrode).

Here is a photo from today.
[LG G Watch R] dzyuba:
I've had my watch for a little over a week and don't recall hitting it against anything but this morning noticed my bezel has a scratch longer than half an inch. Doing a Google search brought me here.

I was going to try your method today. I understand using the 600 grit sandpaper to remove the rest of the paint from the bezel but how does the regular paper help the finish? My uneducated guess would have been to try a finer grit sandpaper such as 1200 instead of the paper.
[LG G Watch R] ro_explorer:
You can use whatever finer than 600 you have (even coarser but you may risk it going coarser that that).

Unfortunately, 600 was the finest I had in house at the moment that why I used id. After that though, the metal finish was matte, missing that fine polishing .... there is where the regular paper got into action. If you use a regular laser printer paper sheet, it will act as a very very fine sandpaper, enough to give that fine polishing on the pure metal (aluminium in this case - soft metal, no other reason.
[LG G Watch R] dzyuba:
You sir are a genius - your solution actually makes the watch look better than before the problem.
[LG G Watch R] ethanmars:
Please tell us what did you do exactly to the watch, step by step. Thanks.

My request to any other people who want to adopt this method, please record a video of the process. Then upload it to youtube and share it with us. Thanks. :o
[LG G Watch R] ro_explorer:
The entire process that I used is described in detail in the first post of this thread.

There is also the possibility to use a nail file (there are some guys who did that and the results are quite nice as well).
[LG G Watch R] datawrhsdoc:
Guys,

This looks fantastic. Perhaps even better than stock. I've got a 1/4" scratch, so not quite ready to take the plunge...but certainly thinking about it.

-Doc
[LG G Watch R] Flippy125:
I should probably post this here also. I managed to ding up my watch pretty badly crashing my skateboard, and a user suggested I try this method. I did it a little differently by finishing with a 3000 grit and using metal polish cream on the exposed metal to give it a nice shine. Here are before and after pictures.
[LG G Watch R] ro_explorer:
The metal polish is definitely adding a nice touch. Thanks for the info.

// sent from my phone //
[LG G Watch R] ro_explorer:
Hi guys ... it's me again :) ...

I just want to tell you that 6 months later, the watch looks pristine, w/o me doing any other thing on it ... I just used it (and replaced the watch face :D).
[LG G Watch R] charlieluck33:
motion

hey man, I was wondering what motion I should do while sanding it, should I be doing it in a circular motion or is there another way?

thanks.
[LG G Watch R] Flippy125:
Best way is to do up and down followed by left and right, and repeat. Let's you sand past the finish faster and gets a nice even finish
[LG G Watch R] ro_explorer:
Sorry for not seeing this earlier (busy times) ... I used a linear motion until all the paint went away. The finishing looks very ... industrial in this way.

Hello Everyone!

...you all surely know

„Flappy Bird“

- to many people it caused addiction and Freakouts. There are also many funny videos about this in the Internet (SéñôrPacman was a funny one!) - and there are two fake videos that show an end!

[YOUTUBE]YHH2101OFfI[/YOUTUBE][YOUTUBE]cFITzpwdTGA[/YOUTUBE]

[IMG="(Vîdéô)"]http://xdaforums.com/images/icons/advanced/video.png[/IMG]The first Video is from somebody who is known to make good Animations of Mario...

The Second one is also fake.

The Truth:

There IS ACTUALLY NO LIMIT!

Proof:

Open the APK with WinRAR or 7-Ƶîp and go to the Sprites-Folder.

Then you see all sprites that exist in the game in a PNG-Picture.

But there is no Mario/Ending or so...

So those both Videos are just Fake but good-animated! :svetius: WELL DONE! ;)

You can download the APK of the Game (for Android) here.

I hope this helped to clarify some things. Have a nice day ;)

thanks sooo much
[Moto G 4G Android Development] CJMom:
Sorry for asking but what are the actual changes from the stock kernel?
[Moto G 4G Android Development] bedalus:
So far the only changes are using an up-to-date linaro toolchain, removal of some debug logging, and switching the IO scheduler to cfq.

I saw there was no option for peregrine users so I thought I'd make one. At the moment the repo is very clean. It would make a good jumping off point if any other devs want to fork it and add fun stuff. I personally prefer to keep it simple.
[Moto G 4G Android Development] bedalus:
There's already a few kernels for falcon. What is it you're hoping I'll offer?
[Moto G 4G Android Development] knizmi:
To have a stock kernel built with latest linaro? :) Currently trying to do it myself for falcon, but I've just encountered the Motorola module whitelisting (WTF?). Never seen that before on other devices...
[Moto G 4G Android Development] bedalus:
I'll happily talk you through it. How far are you through?
[Moto G 4G Android Development] knizmi:
Oh, and you probably forgot to strip your wlan.ko, it has well over 30 MB ;) I am surprised it even loads on peregrine.

---------- Post added at 10:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:06 PM ----------

Everything is allright - the kernel boots and everything works fine, the only problem was that I couldn't get wlan.ko to load. I didn't know about the whitelist thing, though. You can imagine my face when I looked at dmesg.

I should have some more time in an hour or so, if don't get it running by morning, I will PM you. Thanks for the offer.
[Moto G 4G Android Development] knizmi:
OK, I've done it by adding

chmod 0666 module_hashes
echo ee04251847ff70190bfec61b19802c19afe29a16 >> module_hashes
chmod 0400 module_hashes

to your repack-ramdisk.sh. Seems a little dirty, but works :)

The other modules will have the same problem I believe. Unless I want to add their SHA hashes the same way, what is the correct way to bypass/update that whitelist? You don't mess with that file anywhere in your build or install scripts. Gonna try deleting it, but you don't do that either...
[Moto G 4G Android Development] bedalus:
I've seen your new falcon thread congratulations on making it work. Thanks for the credit.

To circumvent the whitelist, you need to disable it in the kernel config: see here

You're right about the module stripping. I tried doing it in the build script, but it was the wrong approach. This commit works. Thanks for reminding me! I've updated the download link. The zip is now less than 8MB, much better.

[Moto G 4G Android Development] CJMom:
I want to try this too.

I just need to flash it from recovery?

deleting caches is needed?

If I want to go back to stock kernel just flash boot.img from my stock firmware using mfastboot?

Thanks!
[Moto G 4G Android Development] bedalus:
Yep, the zip is flashable in CWM or TWRP. Deleting caches is not needed.

To return to stock, like you say...

mfastboot flash boot boot.img

But the stock boot.img does not contain copies the kernel modules. If you intend to go back to stock, you'll need to back up the entire folder /system/lib/modules from a stock install before flashing my kernel.

Stock peregrine boot.img: http://d-h.st/yF6
[Moto G 4G Android Development] knizmi:
Lol, how easy. Didn´t see that, thank you.

To return to stock you need both boot.img and modules. Flashing boot.img only will disable your wifi.

- Got the download to just over 5MB by switching to XZ compression

- f2fs cherry-picks from torvalds git up to kernel v3.18

I consider f2fs the newest piece of the kernel, and the filesystem is always a bottleneck for system performance, being slow compared to everything else. It makes sense to apply as many improvements in this regard as possible.

The cherry-picks may have affected stability. It's always hard to tell with such a huge amount of code revision. I've seen one new bug where if there is an unexpected shutdown, this causes a kernel oops on the subsequent reboot right after the filesystem recovery. Then the following reboot works normally. No damage the to filesystem, just a null pointer dereference.

I honestly will soon get a new phone too, as i loved this Moto G i'm thinking in go with the new 2015 version.

Or depending on the price the new Nexus 5
[Moto G 4G Android Development] bedalus:
I think you have to consider the Asus Zenphone 2

Or here is another interesting option.

I personally fancied a complete change, so I've gone for a nokia lumia 830. I got a new one on ebay for £115 which is about half price. The camera on it is amazing. The OS is alright, a bit underdeveloped. But the lack of decent apps would a considerable problem for most mobile users. For me I'm not that bothered as I don't really use any apps.
[Moto G 4G Android Development] Pupet_Master:
I understand, i too use just a few apps (how ever i am addicted to modding), so my corporative phone is a Windows phone. I like it a lot, i think you made a great choice.

I did consider the Zen phone, trouble is it isn't available where i live for a good price. I'll check the swift though it do seen very interesting.

Glad to see you keep working on this kernel. It is pretty sad to see so little development in our 4G, we just have a couple of threads active. Not to mention we have not even seen a Lollipop soak test yet.

[Moto G 4G Android Development] Kayant:
Always great to see more people helping with development ... One day in future :p

I was hoping if you could give me some pointers ;)

Once the kernel is built and the zImage-dtb is provided how do you pack it into a zip for flashing? Do I need to repack it into a bootimg?

And are you using the a15 version of the toolchain because I read cortex a7 is simpler in architecture or do you use the generic one?

Much thanks.
