just downloaded here maps but for some reason it can't find any maps and I just get a white background. It does know my location.

Anyone knows what the reason for this is ?

Thank you
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gin66:
No idea for the reason, but same symptom. Have a rooted HTC One M8 with 5.0.1.

By using ProxyDroid and my own proxy I could see, HERE tries to connect to 127.0.0.1:443, which is definitely wrong. Would appreciate any idea.

I'm on a rooted Note 4, here maps used to work fine, now all I get is a white background, I have no idea why it's no longer working but its doing my head in, hope someone can shed some light on this as I loved this map app
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gin66:
in logcat can find this error. If this file stores the info, where to download map information, then it will not work without

E/MapLoaderService( 2782): java.io.FileNotFoundException: /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.here.app.maps/files/.here-maps/diskcache-v4/mapcatalog.json: open failed: ENOENT (No such file or directory)

Would be nice, if someone with working HERE Maps could upload their mapcatalog.json

Working fine here. Galaxy S5 rooted
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gin66:
Congrats. In the android sdk emulator using lollipop is working, too. Now I have copied over the mapcontent.json from the emulator and now once a while get the list of maps to download. Pressing download does not do anything, besides another error message in logcat. Very odd.....

I could now download the maps in the emulator and copy them over to the SD-card and use HERE in offline mode. Just this is very inconvenient.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gin66:
Have now found a solution: Using the sdk emulator I have downloaded the map from Germany, then copied it on the sdcard of the phone. After switching HERE to offline mode and to use ext_sd, the map could be seen. Then I tried navigation to berlin and HERE wanted to go online to calculate the route. So I have agreed, and during route presentation I have seen even area outside of Germany. So curiously I have tried to download the map from Singapore - successfully :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martytarty:
Without trying to be a pain I still can't find any solution to this, all I get is a white screen when I should be seeing a map, I've tried different versions of the app, cleared cache/data re-downloaded maps for offline, it doesn't matter what I do the maps wont show.

Please if anyone can add any further input or other things to try I'd be grateful
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cogano:
Same here (CM 11.2). Interestingly, switching to mobile data leads to download activity. Files are downloaded to the same dir as you mentioned (e.g. MAP.IDX = 5.6 MB). The download continued up to cca 12 MB downloaded. Map in my surrounding is displayed now. Switching back to WiFi and no download again...

Still no mapcatalog.json exists. It would be nice if someone uploads it here. (I have setup Android Studio incl. emulator and HERE behaves the same...)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sobotkama:
Hi,

I've wanted to use the app "limbo-android" ( https://code.google.com/p/limbo-android/ ) on my Intel Atom (x86) android tablet.

Unfortunatly, I have only found an apk for arm devices that crashes when I start a VM in the app. So, I have tried to build the app myself (I was following this https://code.google.com/p/limbo-android/source/browse/README ).

So far, I have downloaded the tools (SDK, NDK r8e, Eclipse + Eclipse Android plugin) and the source ( https://code.google.com/p/limbo-android/source/browse/ ) and unpacked all of it. After that, I have tried to follow the README file. So, i have competed steps 3, 4a, but I am stuck at point 4b. (I have also copied the NDK to /usr/local/bin because even when i have configured the right folders in step 3, it sayed something like ndk-build not found)

now with that done, if i type 'make' into the terminal, this is what i have got:

mkdir -p /home/sobotkama/limbo-android/jni/..//obj/local/x86/
rm -rf /home/sobotkama/limbo-android/jni/..//libs/armeabi ../libs/armeabi-v7a ../libs/x86 ../libs/mips \

Running both Ubuntu and Windows 8.1 on my PC, doing this on Ubuntu.

Any help like what should I do or is there anyone that would build it for me, please?

Thanks, Sobotkama

Anyone?
[Xperia SP General] TheAvengingTITAN:
I just remembered, for some users especially for KitKat and JellyBean users, Discolight is a good app on xda (if you Google "discolight apk", you'll find it). What it does is, you can enable a music beat function to apps that is not walkman like spotify and youtube , etc. And the illumination bar will still work when the screen is locked. Go check it out.

What I want to see is an updated version of that app for lollipop. (that app has been abandoned but works perfectly)
[Xperia SP General] Nathan rd:
Try this for now :) http://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/led-music-effect-rooted-device-t3053295
[Xperia SP General] TheAvengingTITAN:
I have tried that and here are the problems with it:

1. It is loaded with bugs :(

2. Its 2.3+ which means its unstable in 4.4 (I have tested it) and it definitely doesn't work for lollipop

3. Its no longer supported

4. Its not an SP exclusive, which means it could be faulty.

U-Disco Pro is good when considering getting the illumination to work, but its a paid app :(
[Xperia SP General] TechnoSparks:
This problem however can only be solved by creating a new music player. Another possible solution is to have the existing music players to implement the illumination API into their app thus enabling support for our and some other Sony devices. For the ROM, the developer can port over the necessary libraries to make sure the illumination works out of the box. Or the user themselves can download this one "service" apk that handle illumination.

You can fork Apollo and add the illumination API though. However, of course, this will require Java programming knowledge, in which I don't know of.
[Xperia SP General] TheAvengingTITAN:
I did mention all of what you said above in the first post. I think I will have to take the initiative and add the illumination to walkman or Apollo or the "music" app from CM12 to get it to work on Lollipop and hopefully on KitKat.

I'll try to learn how to do this... Or is there a user who could step forward and mod an apk? This would be greatly appreciated. Let me know here if you wish to contribute to the project and I will PM you so we can discuss about the course of action :D
[Xperia SP General] TechnoSparks:
Well I would, but I have already mentioned before that I am lacking Java knowledge. In fact, I know nothing about Java programming :(

If you indeed want to learn, I just want to tell you that it might be a long way for you. It isn't easy to do coding, you know.. I am not scaring you or what, I just want to tell you so. I really wish good luck if you chose to learn programming! :)

If you wish, you might want to create a new thread in the General Android forum board that refers to this thread. In that way, maybe some other people can help us as well :)
[Xperia SP General] TheAvengingTITAN:
Yeah that would be a great idea :D but first I'll check with people I know. Most people in my family know programming. If that doesn't work out, I'll be going to the general android forum, thanks for the suggestion :)
[Xperia SP General] TechnoSparks:
No problem. I hope someone can help achieving this beautiful thing for our beloved XSP. Thank you for starting the motivation too! ;)
[Xperia SP General] Plum Crazy:
Why don't you just use U Disco? The Pro version only costs a few dollars.
[Xperia SP General] TheAvengingTITAN:
Because we shouldn't be paying for things that came built into our phone, its what we already paid for. A problem with U-Disco is, if you turn on the "coloured beat function", the app will be open at all times in the background and there is an annoying notification. Sometimes the whole app bugs out and it would take a while to get it back working again.

Here's the big problem: its no linger updated, therefore there is no lollipop support (yet). Until then I'm going to focus on an AOSP player exclusive for the SP which has the same features as walkman (hopefully) :D
[Xperia SP General] Plum Crazy:
That would make sense if it didn't work properly for the stock ROM, but these are third party ROM's we're talking about. These are made by the community and are in no way endorsed by the manufacturer. Besides, U Disco has more features than the stock light effects.

It needs to run in the background to work :P

I'm not going to disagree with this, it can be pretty temperamental.

Does it not work with Lollipop? I could've sworn it worked with ART on KitKat. Anyway, good luck with the app. It'll be nice to see a native light effect for music on KitKat.
[Xperia SP General] TheAvengingTITAN:
It did work on ART with CM11 when I tried but sadly it doesn't work with Lollipop. The app does start up and all the other things like rainbow and flash strobe work... But the colour beat doesn't work :( . I've managed to get a modified Walkman apk to work on JB based AOSP ROMs with illumination support. After further testing, I'll release it for you guys to try :D
[Xperia SP General] akashsaini7:
Eagerly waiting for this one. :D
[Xperia SP General] TheAvengingTITAN:
The next test upload will take a while because I'll be testing it on Apollo. But first I'll need a person experienced with Java to.implement the API. Might take a while.
[Xperia SP General] TheAvengingTITAN:
Sadly U-disco Pro no longer works for updated CM11 builds (official and unofficial, LBL and UBL) and CM based ROMs . New ROMs don't work with U-disco either. definitely doesn't work on lollipop ? Roms :(

Is U-disco working for any of you on an updated build of CM11?
[Xperia SP General] Plum Crazy:
Working fine for me, CM11 Official Nightlies here, with ART enabled too. Mind you, I'm no longer running the latest build.
[Xperia SP General] TheAvengingTITAN:
Are those official nightlies?

Try going onto the latest build and test it.
[Xperia SP General] Plum Crazy:
Yep, they're the Official Nightlies. I'll update to the latest build later and update this post when I test it.

Edit: Tested and working on the latest Nightlies, ART runtime. But what I find weird about U Disco is that when I set the audio source to the speaker and open a music player, the light strip does absolutely nothing; when I do the same thing with YouTube, it works perfectly. It's always been like this for me, just thought that you might find it helpful.
[Xperia SP General] Gamer R:
Install this before and then enjoy U-Disco
[Xperia SP General] TheAvengingTITAN:
It didn't work for me :(
[Xperia SP General] ShinOrochiX:
In the op you mentioned that illumination works in MrSteves CM11/LBL right? So does this apply to the built in apollo music player? :confused:
[Xperia SP General] TheAvengingTITAN:
Apollo using Discolight or U-Disco. :)

It also works on YouTube and every other player, even the radio! :)
[Xperia SP General] yash8796:
Hey guyes i am bit confused that all 3 LEDs are working on xperia u on CM rom. So i did't understand that whats the problem in xperia sp?:confused:
[Xperia SP General] TheAvengingTITAN:
The newer builds of CM11 and of course CM12 lost support for the music beat effect. Notifications and everything else is working with the illumination bar.

Let's not compare 2012 phones with 2013 phones, there's quite a generation gap.
[Xperia SP General] Plum Crazy:
The latest CM11 build works fine with U Disco, I told you :P
[Xperia SP General] TheAvengingTITAN:
Doesn't work with a lot of people, especially people stuck on LBL and running unofficial CM. Also, people running CM based ROMs couldn't get it to work either.

Can I have your build date of CM if you don't mind?
[Xperia SP General] Plum Crazy:
Sure, it's March the 15th.
[Xperia SP General] yash8796:
Sure bro. If can you help me. I am using [MENTION=5675575]vwadam[/MENTION] ~ Z3 EXperienceSP ~ rom.

Can you please help me with this rom??
[Xperia SP General] TheAvengingTITAN:
I was on that ROM a few weeks ago but I changed to mateoo's CM11 (base of Experience SP) because it's easier to navigate for me.

Oh and yes, U-Disco works for me. I had an old version of the U-Disco Pro on my SD as an apk but that doesn't work. Any of you got the Apk?
[Xperia SP General] yash8796:
Oh really!!:laugh:

Music beat is working on that ROM or not??:confused:
[Xperia SP General] TheAvengingTITAN:
Yup, because we both have the same base ROM :D. Works with U-Disco but not Discolight.

Got any apps you know that I haven't listed? :)
[Xperia SP General] yash8796:
Thanks bro. Its very good news.... You make my day..:good:

And I think probably many of us use U-Disco or Discolight....
[Xperia SP General] Furrydaus:
Will think about adding it to the next iteration of my ROMs if possible. Will be more inclined if more people actually vote haha

Abandoning Standalone Apk​

But Hold on ;)

New Project Concept: A Flashable Zip!

This way it would be easier to test the illumination support on a ROM. This is only a project concept, if there are any developers ready to pack everything into one flashable zip, please PM me. Any contributors will be exclusively mentioned in the contributors section on the OP and will be recognised throughout the whole Xperia SP community!​

Heres What I'm Looking For

A flashable zip for JellyBean 4.1 - 4.3.1 ROMs

A flashable zip for KitKat 4.4 - 4.4.4 ROMs

A flashable zip for Lollipop 5.0-5.1 ROMs

(Possibly Android M? ;) )

I had an idea today

Wouldnt it be easier to make just one option that led will respond to any sound from speaker?

Just have a one on/off switch and maybe color setting for each led.

I dont know if it is possible but, its just an idea to just implement feature like this to aosp rom

I think of something like u disco pro forever in background built in the system
[Xperia SP General] TheAvengingTITAN:
You should try talking to devs and see if that is possible. That is actually s really good idea.

Please add support for the 'A_QUICKTIME' codec ID in Matroska files. See the Matroska codec specs for information on this. There are more QuickTime-specific audio codecs in QuickTime than just QDesign Music.
[MX Player] bleu8888:
FFmpeg used on MX Player is already supporting A_QUICKTIME.

If you send me a sample video clip, I would be able to find the reason.
[MX Player] matsp888:
So it uses FFmpeg, fine. Then all there is to it is a patch of libavformat/matroskadec.c in FFmpeg:

Look for 'A_QUICKTIME' in the file (around line 1777). It only accepts private data that's 86 bytes or more. Don't ask me why. Probably because they expected that nothing else than QDesign Music would use the 'A_QUICKTIME' codec ID. I have it set to 36 here, since that's the size of a version 0 sound sample description. Works fine for me.
