Thanks. But isn't Watchmaker Premium an Android application? Is this the app devs used to create watch face in galaxy app store?

I'm looking for a Windows based app because i could use mouse and keyboard for better accuracy. Hope you understood.

Thanks.

If you've got some programming ability, you can do it through Samsung Web Application Development.

Here's a discussion of just adding temperature:

http://developer.samsung.com/forum/...hface/201/305666?boardName=SDK&startId=zzzzz~

If you can wait, supposedly it's coming in the next version of GWD.

It's been discussed for quite a while here and over on the Samsung forums, and the guy that is in charge of the GWD is well aware that people want the ability to do it. Hopefully, it's sooner than later. I don't have the time to learn how to program myself!

Is there anyway (Reg hack) or something to make bluetooth incoming files to be stored directly to storage card?:confused:
[General Topics] dgaud007:
Could you please try this?

Hello,

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=268697

I had posted my results in the link above, but nobody had answered. Assuming you have the default Microsoft Bluetooth Stack, here is what is working, at least partially, for me:

1. Add a new STRING value called BaseDir in the HKLM\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\OBEX\{0000...}.

2. Set this value to "/Storage Card/" i.e. BaseDir = "/Storage Card/" or whatever the name of your SD Card. NOTE THE SLASH DIRECTIONS...

3. Soft Reset.

4. Now try transferring a file to you PPC. HOWEVER, when you get the prompt "Do you want to..." IGNORE IT for the moment and go to the SD Card and check if the file is there and copy it to another name or location within the card.

5. Now click NO on the beam file prompt.

Please let me know your results. Thanks,

Like I said, I'm no dev but this should get you started.
[Galaxy Note 4 Developer Discussion (Devs., Only)] ripee:
I wish it were as easy as replacing the device tree :P I've been on the hunt for a trltevzw tree to complete the collection of trlte builds I'm compiling. The best one I found was from Zecozhang, but his errors out during building due to a problem with the TrlteRIL.java file. Perhaps the China Telecom-specific parameters in his tree are too different from Verizon's to work.

As for the vendor blobs, weard1212 has a repo, as well as his own device tree. However, putting together a roomservice.xml with weard1212's device tree and blobs, along with EmotionOS's other repos, errors out before compiling even begins.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] vampirefo:
Thanks I need boot.img for each as well.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cellneuron:
I only backed up one of them in twrp, which is not img format. How to get it for you? The tablet itself has been flashed Greatbal's boot.img.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vampirefo:
I already downloaded [MENTION=289644]greatbal[/MENTION] boot.img, I don't need it, so all your tablets have been flashed via [MENTION=289644]greatbal[/MENTION] backup?

the one you backed up with twrp should have backup up your boot.img, it will be called boot.emmc.win.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cellneuron:
This boot is for v1.0.6.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vampirefo:
Ok, thanks I built a recovery based on this boot.img and 1.0.6 build.prop.

Once I receive the tablet I will pull the build.prop from that tablet to compare with yours, if it's correct or close enough I will then dump the tablet's firmware.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cellneuron:
That's great. Can't wait. Just keep in mind my boot was pulled by wrong recovery.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vampirefo:
Everything the recovery backed up would be correct and usable, a recovery just backs up.

The recovery doesn't modify the backup in anyway, what ever a recovery backed up is what was on the device.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vampirefo:
Does anyone use Linux? I want to know what happened when using trigger 4?

Would anyone be willing to back up ESP and upload it?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vampirefo:

I do have some info, I am posting to OP.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cellneuron:
Great.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vampirefo:
The temp recovery is up, if people use it and share their back ups, everyone's tablet will get fixed.

We need a backup of each flavor, restoring the correct flavor, to the correct tablet fixes sound.

The recovery will back up recovery, boot, and system, restoring these on the correct tablet returns tablet to out of box, eg working sound.

We can't trick the tablet, it knows what flavor it originally came with, only restoring the exact flavor fixes the problem.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cellneuron:
More people should join. I don't have any virgin nextbook ares 8 now.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] minmao:
Just found the topic. Thanks a lot for working on this.

I got two Ares8 without sound due to the root process. I was able to find another unrooted table and followed the exact steps to backup the boot/recovery/system as in the first post.

However, after shutdown, my unrooted one will no longer boot. It got stuck at the next book logo screen for a few minutes, then reboot to this screen again. I could still get into the boatloader and the stock recovery, but what do I do now?

I also used the backup to restore one of my rooted Ares 8, before realizing this. It also wont even boot.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vampirefo:
Reboot to what screen, I am not following you.

Upload your recovery and boot that you backed up.

They will be called

boot.emmc.win

recovery.emmc.win

Also a flashable rom has been upload for my version see post two, I still need your

boot.emmc.win

recovery.emmc.win

and exact details of what you did.

the boot.img needs to be modified, else it takes a while to boot cause by default the boot.img is force encrypted, in stock recovery do factory rest and in time the tablet will boot, cause it has to encrypt.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] minmao:
Here are the files I backuped following the first post.

Once powered on, it will stay on the nextbook logo screen (also a line of text saying "Powered by android"). After a while, the screen will flash once ( that is hwy I thought it rebooted) then it goes into the stock recovery (the lying down android with the chest open) and I could go into the recovery by pressing power+ volume up.

The other tablet, restored using the backup, is the same situation.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vampirefo:
That's not the recovery you gave me recovery.emmc.win.md5 I need recovery.emmc.win

anyway in stock recovery factory reset and you should be fine.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] minmao:
Sorry for attaching the wrong file. I did the factory reset as instructed, but the tablet still wont boot. Here is the correct file

I am flashing my other tablet using your backup, since they appears to be the same flavor. I will report back about how it works.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Conan1201:
Hi Everyone... I'm the generous soul who donated an Ares 8 to Vampire in the hopes that he could help everyone on 5.1.1 that lost sound.

Heres my request, if youve been helped... I know NOTHING about rooting. BUT I WANT TO LEARN. I figured a donated tablet would be a good way to start my rooting life.

I'm a Windows 10 user. Vampire just helped me to install Minimal ADB and Fastboot system wide.

Heres my request, can someone post, for a windows user, a step by step on what I need to do to root this. I dont expect Vampire to remember all the cmd codes from memory as he's a Linux user.

I appreciate it greatly and I'm glad to see so many people have gotten sound back on their rooted tablets. I hope I'm not far behind you with my own rooted tablet.

Thank you
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cellneuron:
Thank you for donating the tablet.

For rooting this tablet, you don't need learn anything since vampirinfo already did it for us.

Step 1. Download all three zips. Also download supersu246.zip from somewhere. You can search it in XDA.

Step 2. Put supersu246.zip and the huge 1 gig ROM zip to SD card. Extract others to your ADB folder. Rename the long recovery image to recovery.img.

Step 3. Shift plus Right click your ADB folder, and open command window from there, type in

Adb devices

Make sure your tablet is on and connect to PC.

If your device shows authorized, type

Adb reboot bootloader

Step 4. Flash ESP, fastboot and recovery using below commands:

Fastboot flash ESP esp.img

Fastboot flash fastboot droidboot.img

Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

If everything goes well, press the up key until recovery shows, and then press power key.

Step 5. You should be in TWRP 2.8.6 now. Flash the two zips in your SD card. You can make up a backup of data first to avoid reinstall everything.

Good luck.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] vampirefo:
No, speaker sound requires a sound patch for sound to work in 5.0, speaker sound is very low in 5.0, Bluetooth sound should work though.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Conan1201:
Thank you so much. I've got everything downloaded and ready to go. just gotta get my hands on a micro sd card.

quick question. Vampirefo had a comment in the readme about unlocking bootloader. Is that a linux thing or something i need to do before I get started?

Just wanted to let you know that the install of 'Ares8_5.1_nxm890bap_e_jj_64.zip' got my sound back - thanks!!

Everything is working perfectly! Just a note to others, the TWRP install of the zip file takes 10-15 minutes! It may appear that TWRP is stuck at "Extracting system" but it is doing its thing. Just an FYI as well - my original ROM had this for build.prop, "ro.build.flavor=nxm890bap_e_jd_64-user".
[Miscellaneous Android Development] N810E:
Back on 5.1, everything except sound seems to be working.

An interesting note: If I let SuperSU try to update, it fails and I lose my external SD card (reads 0). I did the uninstall/unroot from the SuperSU app and the external SD card was back.

I flashed Zefie's 5.1 and I have sound, but still have the SuperSU/external SD card issue.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vampirefo:
Well, that's good is sound low on Zefie's 5.1?

Also have you just tried using the latest SuperSu?

I rarely test SusperSu, I don't need root, but some people do, so I work on making it available.

You probably should post the SuperSu problem in the SuperSu thread, it maybe a known problem, and they may have a fix, or it maybe a new problem and they are working on it.

Resized my tablet to correctly install [MENTION=759634]zefie[/MENTION] backup, it's the correct upgrade for ares 8 5.0.

The system partition needs to be resized to allow the backup, I increased my to 2.6, to give plenty of room.

much more than I needed,

/system 2.6G 2.3G 310.7M 4096

I just rooted my device, I don't see any sdcard problems.

I flashed SR3-SuperSU-v2.79-SYSTEMMODE.zip

https://xdaforums.com/apps/supersu/v2-64-2-66-supersu-mode-t3286120

I just made a one click Linux script, to partition and flash and boot the 5.1 rom.

adb reboot bootloader

./fastboot.sh

type sudo password

that's it script does everything else.

I am working on same for windows.

I ordered iView i896QW 8.95, should be here in a couple days, so i can test the windows batch script to make sure it work.

all goes well, then I will do the same for this thread.

I returned the Ares8A tablet, so I would be able to buy the iView i896QW 8.95, I no longer have the android 6 version of Ares 8.

iView i896QW 8.95 looks like it's going to be a great rooting tool, should be able to run Linux on it as well, via usb flash drive.

Haven't seen your results, have you rooted your device?

I ordered a windows 10 tablet, to be able to root Androids via windows, I am real curious about how well this windows tablet does as a portable rooting machine.

When I get the windows tablet, I will use it to root this Nextbook tablet.

Build a one click method, for windows users, I made a Linux version today, works 100%.

Need windows tablet before, I can test my windows one click method.

At the rate I'm going between work and kids I might be taking advantage of the one click windows install when you get it done. Let me know and i can be one of your testers
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vampirefo:
While, I do have one built for Ares8A, which works great, I am afraid or in other words don't trust it on Ares 8.

Why? TWRP 3.1 is designed for Android 6 and 7, not 5. In my own tests it doesn't play well with 5.1 devices, the layout is different than what it was designed for.

If I can adjust it, were I completely trust it to work on Android 5, I will release, I am not there yet.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Conan1201:
Thank you so much and thank you [MENTION=2472806]vampirefo[/MENTION].

I'm rooted! And sound works perfectly. Haza! Everything worked exactly as you said. My only "issue" was I renamed recover.iso exactly that.... so when I did the flash command I actually had to type "recovery.iso.iso" I'm special. :).

I remember greatball's root had some in-incrypt zip with it to help speed up the OS. Is that something I can do on this or is vampire's zip he created already un-incrypted?

Also, bear with me because this is my first rooted android, what's the first few things I should install or do now that I have root. I really just want to de-bloat as much as possible and speed this little guy up as much as possible.

Thank you again so much for the step by step.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cellneuron:
It is already decrypted.

For speeding up, you actually don't need root. You can disable most Google apps and limit background processes to 3.

1. Go to settings - developer options, scrolling to the last page, change the background processes from standard to limit 3. In the same page, remove all animations.

2. Go to settings - apps, in the downloaded apps, uninstall every app you dont need. In all apps, disable those Google apps, such as email, exchange services, Google plus, hangout, Korea input, Hindi input, Google movies, Google newsstands, Google music, Google books etc.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] minmao:
BTW, anyone experienced the problem with exclamation park on the wifi icon? I think it is old lollipop bug, I suddenly start to have it. And I did not change the setting of my router before this appears.

The wifi still works, but android will think my wifi has no internet connection so it wont auto connect. Therefore, I have manually connect to wifi everytime and it is a pain in a neck.

I tried to factory reset, store my old backup or reflash the zip from vampirefo, but it is still there no matter what I do. I also googled solution and tried all suggestion like static ip address, but it is still there.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] xaustie:
I have the same problem. I don't think it was there for a while and appeared after I installed some app or whatever - not sure when it started. I installed AdAway recently and assumed that it was interfering with some sort of google-connectivity test. I disabled AdAway, rebooted and still have exclamation point.

Anyway - first of all it seems to be a well known lollipop issue.

Second - the issue is more serious on a phone with a fallback to a data plan. On this tablet it is a non-issue really. My wifi still works and I have not been able to see that there is any wifi related problem.

Third - the stupid exclamation point still bothers me. Doing this command will make it go away. I have done this and everything seems to be working OK. I'll keep an eye on things and report back if this seems to be a problem.

$ adb shell
root@NXA8QC116:/ # settings put global captive_portal_detection_enabled 0
[Miscellaneous Android Development] xaustie:
Well, I already undid my setting for the wifi exclamation point. The problem I encountered is that I went into a bar I frequent that has a login page you need to go through to get internet. Normally that page would appear through the notifications. With my setting in place that was not happening and I could not log in.
