[Android TV General] Scarymover1980:
Hi everyone,

First of all do not blame me to have bought this kind of box ... :oops::ROFLMAO: it is one of the most common chinese box ...

But I know that we can do more even if the hardware is out dated. Honestly for the price I will not complain but ....

From Android TV to google TV:

I cahnge the GUI to get a "fully" functionnal Google TV on this Android 12 TV box. But i am facing an issue while I start the application to switch the "gui" to google tv. I cannot run the google TV launcher as seen google TV does not support "1920x1080 resolution" and "only support 720P, 1080P, 4K and 8 K resolution.

The box is set to 1080p and this should be compatible.

Also with this box ... recently the Netflx apps is no more supported.

Oh yes ... the most important : The hardware I got it at very very low price ... so ...

Allwinner H618 processor.

1 x HDMI

1 X SPDIF

2 x USB ...

Here are some interesting captures (I hope :) )

1) app to run to get (to switch) to Google TV launcher

2) the error that appears when I select to launch "google tv" launcher

View attachment 6112607

3) Some paramters that are available and for me everything is OK so I do not understand why Google TV won't launch

My questions :

- How to solve the issue without going to deep into the investigations ...

- If not easy, what would be the best way ? other rom to install and than try ? but the question is which rom could be comptaible ? (I can do everything but if there is an easy solution it would be great)

- The developpers option do not have the possibility to reduce the number of pixels density for example or there is no way to start the Network (via Wifi) debuging ... well the USB but not the Wifi debuging ...

- The box is still working with the original playstore that was initailly installed.

Any idea or explanation would be really great !

thank you in advance for your support :)

[Android TV General] KsRobak:
Maybe install adb app on phone and connect to the tv. In toolbox there is a option called window. You can change dpi and resolution your tv. It works for me
[Android TV General] Scarymover1980:
Tahnk you for your answer.

Do you have an idea about the DPI and resolution i should use ?

I hope it will work.

I will give you my feedback when the test has been done.
[Android TV General] Scarymover1980:
Sorry not had the time to do the test.
[Samsung Galaxy A20 Questions & Answers] sylvainsab:
I quickly acquired a new phone (Sony xz2c) since the a20e was EOL already, but it broke right before I could copy the necessary files & data. Since I had dabbled in changing the ROM the phone has an unlocked bootloader and can be booted in recovery mode.

My most wanted files to save/transfer are the contacts and a couple text files in /Documents ; but were it doable I would very much benefit from a 1:1 copy of the phone to use in an emulator, since I have not managed to connect to whatsapp and signal using the Pixel default emulator in Android studio.

Presently I only have an ARM macOS (M1 chip) at hand, I could use a Windows laptop were it indispensable. Is either of those two feats doable with my configuration ?

Thank you

[Introductions] last_kmsg_smt:
Hi I'm here to make my old tablet (gtexswifi) usable.
[General Questions and Answers] HoseanRC:
ok so currently i got a Samsung A30s on android 11 and with shizuku and automate installed on. automate starts at boot and it detects wifi network, then starts wireless debugging and starts the shizuku service over adb (thanks to the "Start shizuku" flow by jack5mikemotown).

I'm trying to use android studio with a wifi-related app (which disconnects from the current wifi network and connects to another) without a usb connection and it's annoying to reconnect adb manually every time.

so my question is, since we got shizuku to start at boot on wifi connection, can there be a way to forward adb to a specific port automatically? or atleast giveout the adbd port without entering the settings?

i looked up the whole internet about this and couldn't find anything, but i got 3 ideas on how it could be done:

1. change the adbd port before starting shizuku

changing the adbd port using "adb tcpip" command stops shizuku from working as it restarts adbd, but i couldn't find a way to do so using adb shell. (another way to do it can be using adb binary through termux and tasker plugin, but i didn't test it)

2. create a custom adbd binary and set it to a specific port

this haven't been done before as running "a virtual adbd" or "adbd as non-root" is not much popular, and so the binary doesn't really exist

3. forward/route adbd's port to a custom port (eg. 5555) or displaying the current adbd port in a toast or a notification for use in android studio

it's totally possible to do so, however finding the actual port doesn't seem to be possible after the first time of enabling wireless debugging. when enabling wireless debugging, it boardcasts the adbd port on mDNS, and so the automate flow actually does a lookup for mDNS on android to find it. however wireless debugging doesn't do any mDNS boardcasting until adbd restarts (either by rebooting the device or "adb tcpip" command).

what could be done?

Note: the whole thing is supposed to be done on non-root devices
[General Questions and Answers] Renate:
setprop persist.adb.tcp.port 1234
[General Questions and Answers] HoseanRC:
this doesn't work on non-root devices

I'm using shizuku because I don't have access to root and i can't factory reset my device currently

it's a great alternative
[General Questions and Answers] ballzak:
In your Automate flow, try using the ADB protocol set block to switch to a static TCP/IP port, e.g. 5555, before starting Shizuku.

The bootloader screen is supposed to have an "unlock bootloaader" section. However, my bootloader lacks that. Has anyone else ran into this issue, and do any of you know of a solution?

Is it even possible to unlock the bootloader on WearOS? :unsure:

US Firmware on LTE have this disabled...

Example...

In theory it is possible to flash "international" Firmware.... with sboot.bin Bootloader which supports this... BUT this leads to other tiny problemS...

B

Or EM Token...

Rooting for instance is NOT easy...

So in theory this option is not really helpfull... if you have no USB cable connected...

nor v3 EM Token...

[XPERIA X1 General] orelsi:

[XPERIA X1 General] Nightrage:
there is a pocket pc version of call of duty out there is why
[XPERIA X1 General] Pyrojester:
There was also a way to get warcraft 2 on your pocket pc. It involded porting it to the stratigus engine and running from there, perhaps a starcraft port would also be possible.

[XPERIA X1 General] Firestyler:
I've been thinking, if it is possible to port a game like Commandos or Desperados, these game would be fun on touchscreen (+keyboard), and requires a 200Mhz PII (don't know if the ARM 520Mhz can handle these)
[XPERIA X1 General] orelsi:
I am really interested in pc games for the x1, if anyone knows about such ports (like the warcraft2 one) or games like CoD2 share your knowledge with us pl0x. :D
[XPERIA X1 General] Rudegar:
dosbox works ok with x1 and dos games on my x1

other games you mention are ports which are hacks like wargus

and games where they had the source code and ported it

a thing like wargus takes forever to make guess one can ask the people behind if they are working on a sc version

the other require the games sourcecode to be released or lawsuits will follow suit
[Xiaomi 14 Ultra] simzen85:
Anyone has this issue ? Sometimes my 4G connection seems to stop responding and I need to restart the phone for it to work again. Never had this kind of issue on 13 Ultra. I'm using Global ROM. Tks
[Xiaomi 14 Ultra] NOSS8:
Device CN with Global rom?
[Xiaomi 14 Ultra] simzen85:
Yes
[Xiaomi 14 Ultra] NOSS8:
Choose CN firmware older than current ROM

Extract modem.img CN from:

XM Firmware Updater

The ultimate script that provides firmware packages for Xiaomi devices.

then flash it in fastboot mode

fastboot set_active a

fastboot flash modemfirmware_ab modemfirmware.img

fastboot reboot
[Xiaomi 14 Ultra] simzen85:
Does it mean that the Global ROM doesn't work well with modem from CN device ?
[Xiaomi 14 Ultra] NOSS8:
It's the modem version of the Global ROM that sometimes poses a problem and the reverse is also the case.
[Xiaomi 14 Ultra] simzen85:
You're right man

I flashed it, and currently in my office, I can get "4G+" while previously all I can get is "4G". Internet speed seems to be faster and more stable

Didn't know that modem driver can be that different between CN vs other ROMs. Thanks a ton
[Xiaomi 14 Ultra] simzen85:
@NOSS8 if I update the ROM in the future (official update by Xiaomi), do I need to re-flash the modem again ? Tks
[Xiaomi 14 Ultra] NOSS8:
Not sure if the modefirmwrare.img is updated with a ROM recovery, if the problem returns, you will have to reflash it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vsiii:
I am trying to develop an app which will make your smartphone act as a "keyboard". I need it to send different symbols to another devices via usb, acting like an hid keyboard. I am trying to make it work without rooting the phone. I'm using kotlin and java to do this. Does anyone have information on this topic? I tried looking for answers on this repo: https://github.com/Arian04/android-hid-client?tab=readme-ov-file But it seems that the author uses rooting and i don't think that it's a way for me. Also i need it to connect to devices via usb without manual settings. Also i seen this thread: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3760600/can-android-emulate-a-hid-device But they are talking about bluetooth connection and nothing about usb. I just don't know how to approach it and wonder if anybody has some fresh ideas.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Renate:
Yes, I've done that.

You have to configure the usb_gadget for hid.

You could add a "recipe" to init.usb.rc to make it understand setprop sys.usb.config adb,hid

You still have to make and send a USB HID report descriptor.

Then you need to send your keystrokes as USB HID reports to /dev/hidg0

You're going to need root somewhere.

No, nothing to share.

Use the older /sys interface or the newer configfs (/config) interface.

[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] najibnet:
I have Samsung S10 4G (G973F) with stock firmware (formerly R, region Indonesia), phone has been unlocked (UBL)

I want to installLOS 20 (Official) replacing my stock firmware.

I have followed the instruction (official instruction) from LineageOS

After flashing the recovery with Heimdall (I use Linux btw), it flashed succesfully without reboot. then I pushed Bixby + Power with USB cable powered to laptop, after screen went blank, I pushed Power button, Bixby & Volume Up to reboot to recovery, but it stucked on a bootloop screen with warning that firmware I use is custom. but it stucked forever, custom recovery never booted up, I rebooted it remained the same, I flashed other recoveries (CrDroid & Pixel), it remained the same bootloop

Eventually I flashed stock rom again (now, it is S, I flashed the latest available firmware), I started again, it stayed the same bootloop..

Now I stay stock again (Android S)

Tell me what was the problem I encountered and how can I try this again?

Thank you
[Touch Pro CDMA] nlk10010:
I have an issue with my VZW Touch Pro not being recognized by MDC and have torn out what little hair I had left trying to solve it. I know there are numerous threads of this type and I've read every one I can find but my situation is a bit different (aren't they all :) ).

Basically, when I hook up the TP via USB to my Vista machine MDC doesn't come up. If I launch it manually it comes up, sometimes flashes the "Connecting" message very briefly then goes to "Not Connected" and sits. OK. So why am I baffled and what have I done? Well....

1. If I set the TP to connect as a "Disk Drive" (as opposed to ActiveSync) Vista recognizes it and asks me if I want to explore files and folders, I can see the storage card;

2. In PC to USB I've tried both WITH Advanced Device Configuration enabled and not enabled;

3. I've installed Activesync on another (XP) machine to see if the TP will connect to it and get the same behavior;

4. I've removed the Remote Adapter and USB Synch in Device manager (following the standard MS troubleshooting guide) so that Vista installs the USB driver, just to make sure;

5. I INITIALLY installed MDC on this machine when I was trying an HTC Fuze. At that time MDC worked fine, recognizing the Fuze and asking me what I want to sync, etc.;

6. Since that time I've uninstalled and reinstalled MDC (several times) JUST IN CASE, although it shows NO existing partnerships;

7. I've turned off and actually removed the firewall even though, as I said, MDC worked fine before.

8. On the TP I've set ActiveSync (I'm hooking to an Exchange Server) to sync "Manually" and Windows Live to sync "Manually", JUST IN CASE that was the problem.

The only reason I really even NEED MDC is that I want to use eWallet and need to sync between the PC and Touch Pro.

I've used the TP as a modem for my laptop via Modem Link successfully, but while ML is set to USB the service is Stopped. Would THAT have any affect on this: one thing I've noticed is that when I plug the TP in the PC (sometimes) displays a message to the effect that it's trying to connect to a wireless LAN?????

Sorry for the length of this message but I figure the more info the better and this really has me stumped.

Thanks for any ideas.
[Touch Pro CDMA] andrei792001:
if this helps yo in any way here it is.

i tryed to hook up my TP via WMDC on a Toshiba Tecra Laptop, with USB or Bluetooth and in the best case i managed to send files via bluetooth ... and the WMDC does not recognize the device, it installs some drivers for the cable (i think) and does not find any for the device, so ... it does the same thing as for you, tryes to connect for a second and after that it goes on a endless brake ... never connecting

on the other hand, i had no problems with a dell inspiron, with wista, it installed the drivers instantly and got connected immediately. the same with a Win XP dektop PC using activesync ...

i`m beggining to believe that the software is sort of defective on the toshiba. now i just send file from it and us the dell to sync my TP. i gave up on connecting the toshiba.

Thank you!! Solved my problem.
[Touch Pro CDMA] mcw:
This seems to happen a lot... I just replied to another post in regards to this (though they replaced their Touch Pro). Instead of disabled advanced network functionality (which does let you sync), you should try this to repair the error as it has worked on a friend's Pro, as well as mine (I just had to do it 40 minutes ago). And make sure you re-enable advanced network functionality BEFORE doing this:

1 - Hook up phone to computer

2 - On phone, start ICS (Internet Sharing in Start -> Programs)

3 - Select PC Connection "USB" and Network Connection of any type (if Sprint stock ROM, I recommend using "Sprint")

4 - Hit the "Connect" soft-key (bottom left)

If you've never used Internet Sharing on the phone, your computer should install some drivers... Once that is completed, click the Disconnect left soft-key on the phone. Now disconnect the cable from the computer.

Close out ICS or soft-reset the phone.

Once the phone is back up, plug it in - it should work.

I don't know what is getting reset in the phone, but unless I connect with ICS, then ActiveSync will not connect whether I soft-reset or not.

[General Questions and Answers] Vacaneu:
The force needed for the bump to completely crash the phone has been decreasing too, sometimes it does it when its laying still.

Heres what happens in order:

Screen corruption (doesn't always happen, whats weird is bumping the phone completely undos the corruption and the screen goes back to normal, the phone remains locked up)

Phone locks up completely and doesn't respond to anything

It sometimes shuts down on its own and sometimes has to be forced

restarting it turns everything back to normal

occasionally, i leave the phone and come back to a black screen and an unresponsive device that doesn't work until its force restarted.

I think the battery connection might be loose, or maybe the screen, but i have no idea what exactly is happening

[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
Installing official Google support and Android Auto on your Renault-Dacia Duster II radio with aftermarket Android 11 is not officially supported and can be risky. The reasons are:

Manufacturer Restrictions: Car manufacturers often customize Android for their radios, and these customizations might restrict installing additional apps or functionalities like Google Mobile Services (GMS) required for Android Auto.

Hardware Compatibility: The radio's hardware might not be fully compatible with Google apps and services, leading to instability or crashes.
[General Questions and Answers] rebusromulus:
Yeah I'm using APKpure, I don't have to have Google Play, but using Android mobile connection within EasyConnection/CarbitLink apps is problematic with zero support. I'd rather have Android Auto. If you use it, can you advise how to do it? Thank you.
[General Questions and Answers] rebusromulus:
I am aware of the risks, but I know that hardware of the same configuration from another manufacturer normally uses full Google services including Android Auto (AA). And I'm talking about the use of AA. My device has EasyConnection software and the mobile phone should have CarbitLink. However, the functionality is problematic and the support of the authors is almost zero. If there is one, it is focused on China and not applicable to Europe. Can you give any advice?
