Sounds like nothing's improved from the preview. You'll have to do the same ADB dance with Firestarter. Otherwise you have to dig deep into Manage Applications to launch Kodi.

Amazon are mofos for not letting us organize our own home screen. Is it really too much to ask?
[Fire TV General] ldeveraux:
I think llama hasn't worked since the preview updates. I remember reading that somewhere
[Fire TV General] sudman:
Thanks chaps, I hadn't picked up on that. guess I'll have to try the firestarter route then.

Has anyone tried USB hard drives or sticks? Would a directory bind work?
[Fire TV General] schneid:
I think it's going to be a bust. cannot be used with non-HDMI sound equipment or wit sound equipment that does not support Dolby Digital Plus, e. g., Netflix,
[Fire TV General] mejdam:
you think its going to be a bust because of the optical audio connection? does that mean that you think the apple TV 4th gen will be a bust? since that doesnt have an optical audio connection either.

You cant expect them to keep continue to support legacy equipment, especially from a box thats labeled supporting 4k!!

you either have an old av receiver or you bought a cheap soundbar, either way im sure you can upgrade your entertainment system for under $200
[Fire TV General] schneid:
I don't expect them to do anything. I bought a Vizio 54" Soundbar for $500 last July as it was/is the only soundbar out there that did 5.1 with a real subwoofer and two real rear speakers. The Sub and the Rears are wireless. I didn't want to drill the floors in my new house. Vizo blew it by omitting DD+ decoding. I guess to you, Sonos is CHEAP too. I had the same DD+ issues last year.

Repeating myself, I'm looking real hard at the Tivo Bolt. It handles both IP and OTA. Also looks ahead to 4K while sporting Digital Optical so as not to leave us POOR/CHEAP folks behind.

[Fire TV General] Claude Koch:
HDMI audio's been around a few years now. Might be time to update your amp. I know I will be shortly.
[Fire TV General] schneid:
You obviously don't understand DD+. I had a Sony 7.1 receiver with four HDMI ports in. When Netflix went to DD+, I no longer got sound without down-coding to Stereo in the Netflix settings. DD+ is HDMI only and must be fed through a receiver/amplifier that decodes it. The DD+ stream was supposed to backwards compatible but isn't . Maybe it's just Netflix's implementation of it but my Roku3 connected via HDMI was soundless. As I've said, Sonos had the same problem.

Amazon was FORWARD thinking in providing 5.1 Out on FireTV 1 via Optical for the sole purpose of supporting 5.1 legacy equipment including those with HDMI switches. Not all us POOR/CHEAP people chose to recycle our systems every two years.

The issue is discussed here but Fire TV has the same issue with Netflix:

[Fire TV General] mejdam:
no need to attack us, if its too costly to upgrade your equipment then dont upgrade and wait for another device that does have optical audio connections.

as for" Not all us POOR/CHEAP people chose to recycle our systems every two years."

then you have nothing to worry about since the fire tv isnt more then 2 years old so you wont be upgrading anways.
[Fire TV General] lightykd:
So... um.... USB storage anyone? Even if apps cant be installed to it, can the Fire TV at least read the files?
[Fire TV General] Claude Koch:
Yes, it will support USB storage, very probably the same deal as the first Fire. There's been no suggestion that it will be able to power up external drives or read NTFS.
[Fire TV General] lightykd:
OK. Just making sure because Amazon was stressing that the USB port was only for accessories. As for powering my HDD, I have a Y cable so it's a non issue for me. I plan to use the Fire TV 2 as a OUYA upgrade, complete with OUYA launcher and store. I'm trying to gauge the level of difficulty I might have during my migration.
[Fire TV General] schneid:
Not attacking anyone. I just wanted to clue people in on the fact that surround via Optical is gone for feeds using DD+. I think I am upgrading to a Tivo Bolt. Does 4K and Optical and records both IP and OTA feeds.
[Fire TV General] ulises.rodriguez:
The New Fire-TV (2nd Gen), will support USB External Storage :

http://www.aftvnews.com/new-fire-tv-will-support-usb-external-storage/

Amazon has updated their*specifications page, and now say that the 2nd Generation Fire TV’s USB port is for “Accessories and Media Storage.”

https://developer.amazon.com/public...re-tv/docs/device-and-platform-specifications

It’s unclear at this time if users will be able to move apps onto USB drives, like with the 1st Generation Fire-TV units, or if a connected USB-Drive can only be used for Media Storage ?
[Fire TV General] lightykd:
This is awesome. Now if the following technique works on the Fire TV 2, I'm sold!!!!

http://xdaforums.com/fire-tv/general/ouya-store-amazon-fire-tv-t2806575

[Fire TV General] ldeveraux:
Now you ARE repeating yourself, multiple times.

We get it, you're unhappy with the upgrade and will be moving on from the FireTV. At least do so graciously and stop trying to take everyone else down with you.
[Fire TV General] schneid:
To quote you in post #17:

"Still not worth the upgrade..."

I guess you've changed your mind.

I am not unhappy with anything. My FireTV 1 is rooted and running Nova Launcher. Just tried to point out what may be a gotcha for some just like some have pointed out the USB port may not support app installation and the file system limitations.
[Fire TV General] ldeveraux:
What makes you think I've changed my mind? My comment was about the new processor, ram, sd card, etc. I couldn't care less about the audio out. It's not worth upgrading based on the new stats alone.

Now I've mistakenly given you more than the stage your comment should have deserved. So in interest in you dropping your tirade against the new device, I'll submit. You win, you're right, I'm wrong, so sorry sir, it'll never happen again! So you don't have to keep bringing it up.

Hi ,

I just installed [ROM] [5.1.1] [CyanogenMod] [GCC 4.9] [Excellent] [29/08/15] ArchiDroid V3.1.3 , 3 days ago on my Xperia M , and must say its very very good !! Finally I can save my apps to SD card . :)

I'm having the following observations over past 3 days . I don't know whether they are device dependent , but some more people in the developers thread said the same thing .. (http://xdaforums.com/xperia-m/devel...ower-hands-t2806978/post62834398#post62834398) . And sadly I cant post there , so sharing it here .. hope some can clarify me .

1) The device randomly reboots . Atleaset once in a day . All the times in past 3 days it happened to me while listening music in the stock player .

2) I cannot see save to SD card option in default camera app. But can see the same in open camera and other third party apps .

[IMG="Camera Settings"]http://tinypic.com/r/ig9myc/8[/IMG]

3) The caller screen (That comes up while calling) takes a lot of time to load !! (Any way to replace that with a lighter alternative ? )

Do share if you have some solutions for the same or have experienced the same . Thanks !!

I've been able to duplicate uninstalling these broken apps by doing this:

1st: Install a new app or an app update.

2nd: While this new app is updating/installing pause the broken app.

3rd: Go to your app menu and you can now select uninstall.

It takes a few tries to make it do this but it will work. As far as I know your only other option is a hard reset.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] deke997:
So I'm very excited to report that I have used 35 GB of high speed data this month on straight talk :D

So, it's unlimited, but only kind of. What happens is, the preferred network type setting in CM 12.1 does a really good job and, as long as you stay on LTE (and you might have to keep an active connection too), you have unlimited high speed data. As soon as I dropped into 3g, my data started being throttled.

This is very exciting because, in theory, as long as you live in an area with good LTE coverage, you could theoretically have mostly unlimited high speed data. I am not sure how this little bug works if you switch from one LTE tower to another (this was all done at my house).

I would like some feedback. Please let me know if you try any of the following:

1. Try this on CM 12.1 for yourself and make sure this isn't some fluke that just happened to me this month

2. Try this on ANY other ROM. I don't know what will happen, but I would assume this would work on any CM 12.1 based ROM with the LTE only setting.

3. Can we get something to FORCE our phone to stay on LTE if this is legit? I would rather have LTE than long battery life.

Check out the picture I'm uploading:)

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Punkamonk:
It's definitely not limited to just Straight Talk. My buried internet cable was unknowingly cut by a neighbor of mine and it took me 3 weeks to find where it was. During that time I tethered with my unlimited AT&T GoPhone plan, which normally comes with 4GB of high speed data. Amazingly, most of the 3 weeks I wasn't throttled at all and ended up using around 78GB of data during that time. Are you using a T-Mobile or AT&T SIM with Straight Talk?

[XDA Assist] Androider777:
Hi XDA Members,

I am getting desperate! I have lost all faith in myself to choose a good Android device.

Although poor, I have managed to purchase many Android devices to try and suit my needs.

For example:

I got a Galaxy S3, only to find the signal and battery were crap, and I couldn't use the Tincore or sixaxis app to use any controller to play any games properly.

I bought a Doogee Valencia Y100 Pro thinking it was a great deal, only to later learn that it couldn't be rooted, and the unofficial remote play app for the PS4 lagged far worse than the Galaxy S3.

I bought an unbranded Quad Core, 1.5GB Ram tablet, and guess what, it performed FAR worse than my Sony Xperia E1 ever did, and the E1 is crap!

These are just a few of the examples. As you saw, all of these are budget devices.

Guys, I give up, I take off my cap, I'm not even going to try anymore. I am so disappointed with all this and myself, that I will never, again in life, brag, about, my technical knowledge. Ever.

I need your help. Can you please tell me what are the best budget to high price android devices I should get, it can be anything, a tablet, smartphone, smart console, that can also do the following:

Use Tincore Keymapper or the PS sixaxis app well.

Be able to properly use either a PS3/4 or android bluetooth controller.

Root.

Have atleast a 64GB capable micro sd card slot.

4G signal would be nice, but NOT necessary. Phone calls are not even necessary.

Remote play with PS4 either officially, or smoothly through the unofficial apk.

Run PPSSPP, N.O.V.A 3, Modern Combat 5, and Dead Trigger 2 well.

Have USB OTG.

Not necessary, but HDMI or MHL would be nice.

And have atleast 8GB of internal storage (more is preferable).

Please list the devices you think would best fit this fussy description. Also, please list expensive devices if you think they're the best, but I'm not rich, so cheaper ones would be good too.

Also, would a JXD S7800B or GPD Q9, or Archos Gamepad 2 be any good, or are they crap too?

Lastlty, I would be extremely glad if someone had such a device that did all this, and could personaly testify. Opinions woulf be greatly appreciated too, but, I'm just saying.

I shall eagerly wait your replies, and as I'm sure you pros will help me out, thanks in advance.

I'm not seeing a whole lot of developers trying to port software to Windows RT on here. I'd like to think the JB will re-ignite that effort again, but I'm not sure anymore. I continue to tinker code when I can, but there are a lot of very large code bases that need serious attention before they'll work on Windows RT. TBH I think that the JB release should wait until Windows 10 Mobile is released. I'm hopeful that getting the mobile developers on board might ease some of the Windows RT development pain.

[Windows RT Development and Hacking] domboy:
I've heard others express similar sentiments, so I expect nothing will happen until after 10 mobile is released, which is fine. But I really hope after that the jailbreak will be made available. I'm perfectly happy to wait since I've got an original Surface RT with 8.0, but the Surface 2 owners aren't so lucky...

That is very good news. RT 8.1 Update 3 with a working jailbreak would be a really nice last-hurrah for Windows RT.

How did you get DosBox running on the RT? :)

Besides third party apps, if the jailbreak does indeed disable secure boot, an android port to the ARM surfaces should be possible

I keep seeing screens pop up with 8.1 like that but I guess we will have to wait.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] Dj_Art:
Just install this app:)
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] domboy:
Without Dj_Art posting a response, there are three possibilities that I can figure out:

Dj_Art has access to the unpublished 8.1 "jailbreak" that a few others on the forum have developed but not yet released

Dj_Art found some other method of disabling the executable signing check (which is what we would still refer to as a jailbreak anyway)

Dj_Art works for Microsoft and has the ability to compile and digitally sign Dosbox with a Microsoft key, thereby allowing it to run on RT without a "jailbreak".

Edit: Should have hit refresh before posting...

So what is that? Does it put RT into a debug mode or something?

Edit #2: Looking at the script that seems to be intended to package and share a store app for testing... did you find a way to use it with win32 apps?
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] eisbaer82:
I've Installed the package ... You must run the script as admin. It installs an App named App2 that starts dosbox on the Desktop... O_O

EDIT: The dosbox.exe in the package is not signed. Unfortunally it belongs to the appx package and cannot be replaced with other executables because of the integrity check of the package.

Create a folder anywhere, and add it to permissions for the user "All application packages", then mount this folder in DOSBox.

[Windows RT Development and Hacking] jesuslg123:
I have tried to do that, but still the same. Also I have checked that even when the DosBox just started, if I focus the mouse with F10, DosBox get frozen until release the mouse again.

How to reproduce:

Launch DosBox

After wait for Dosbox loaded. Press F10 (On TouchCover Control+FN+END), this will focus the mouse inside Dosbox window.

Now the mouse is focuses on Dosbox screen and dosbox is like frozen, if you try to type, it won't appear.

Move the mouse outside the window or press again F10 to release the mouse, the machine will run again and the previous typed text will appear.

This happen to me on every single game I tried.

What do they mean with:

"HKEY_Current_User, ControlPanel, Power, faire : Values, Display (cliquer dessus), Value Data par défaut = 60"

Do they mean setting value "Default" in HKCU/ControlPanel/Power ?

(in my case it is unset)

Or do they mean setting value "Display" in HKCU/ControlPanel/Power ?

(in my case "Display" does not exist)
[HTC Vox] agentdr8:
Depending on which registry editor you use, it'll have different means of editing the values for that key's default value.

So if it were arranged as a tree, it would look like this:

HKCU
\\
ControlPanel
\\
Power <== *** under here, you'd edit its (Default) (or hit Values softkey in PHM) ***
\\
LockLevel <== this is a sub-key of the Power key, which has it's own values
\\
Display <== if this existed, it would be here, as another sub-key of Power
