[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jirafabo:
Just wondering about all the super ethical people in this thread.... how often do you use wireless tether on your rooted phone? Bc guess what, you're stealing too and you're no better, nor worse than the op!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mutepoint:
I guess the difference between using wireless tether for free - vs - stealing a phone would be the same as pirating DirecTV - vs - Stealing your neighbors TV out of his house. One is stealing a service from a corporation, while the latter is stealing physical property from an individual. I think you will find that both the law and moralists find a considerable distinction.

It's sad this guy actually received help. I hope sprint tracks it and he gets caught. Or maybe karma will handle it and he'll wake up to a broken windshield or something.

Damnnn u guys....its getting just too much...first of all m not dying to use an epic 4g....i have a g2 n a vibrant.....i yestrrday called sprint and asked them i bought a used fon and i want to re-activate it..they told me that u have to pay all the previous dues on the number than it will b activated....i wonder what most u guys would have done when u found thay someone is selling a $400 fon for only $40.....u guys r acting like i actually stole the fon which i NEVER did....anyways...m not that idiot to use offensive words to any one of u.....m not that illeterate....

wth , how does tethering steal anything, I use my 3g or 4g to tether to MY SYSTEMS

Yeah because the misspelling of illiterate was the biggest problem with it [/sarcasm]
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boominz28:
doesnt matter what you purchased it for , and no I could have purchased the phone for wayyyy cheaper , but I chose to do it the proper way
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zainqaiser:
Why dun u guys understand....i didnt go that person n begged him to give me the fon or snatched it from him....i was NEVER in need of any phone...but he came to me said that m sellin this fon u wanna buy....so how guys r blamin me for stealin it....m just keepin this discussion on coz i knw i didnt do anythin wrong....
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mxcoldhit:
Lets see the evidence. You bought an expensive phone at a gas station for very cheap. The owner would have sold the phone for the most possible to pay off debt. There for the person who sold you the phone is probably not the owner. As far as the debate on how literate you are, the quote says it all.

Edit: The courts see receiving stolen property as "wrong". It is illegal to buy stolen property, wether you knew it or not.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mxcoldhit:
Ok ok no more bashing. On a serious note, you mean to tell us you didn't find it odd that some one came up to you out of the blue and asked if you wanted to buy a phone? That is a serious question.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raylusk:
The problem is you admitted in your first part you assumed it was stolen. Since you were pretty sure it was stolen you shouldn't have bought it. I don't know why you can't understand that. Anyway your post has been reported to the moderators.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zainqaiser:
I dun care if its reported or not....n as a matter of fact i started this thread wen i came home....i dun have any free time while on my work....
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A_Flying_Fox:
Wow. Are you serious people?

He bought the phone. Maybe it was a crack head who really needed quick cash to buy a rock or something. I'm guessing none of you have seen the effects drugs can have on people.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A_Flying_Fox:
Op, just ignore anyone who isn't posting anything relevant. Seriously

The op made an ass out of himself and y'all by assuming it was stolen in the first place

Thnx guys atleast someone didnt blame me/bash me for JUST BUYING A USED FONE FOR DIRT CHEAP....
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raylusk:
I didn't bash you for buying a phone cheap. I bashed you for buying a phone that you BELIEVED was stolen. Its too bad you and a few others can't understand that distinction.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A_Flying_Fox:
Its too bad you and a few others can't understand the distinction, or lack thereof, between flaming and bashing and how it warrants a ban

XDA has recently cracked down on people who put out copyrighted material because of the harm that it can do to xda. Allowing posts where some one asks for help to convert a device to their use that they acknowledge is likely stolen can also harm xda. That is my biggest issue with this post and why I believe the mods should delete this thread.

Now if you think what I posted potentially harms xda then please report me.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zainqaiser:
Ok so what u mean to say is...if a person buys a fon semi bricked/locked.....and he is not sure if it stolen or not.....he should not seek help on xda????
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zainqaiser:
What harm r u talkin about??? What harm have i done to xda????
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A_Flying_Fox:
Copyrighted material is one thing, but ASSUMING something is stolen is another.

Why is it likely a stolen phone? With the amount of information we have, its just as likely to be a crack head phone, a randomly dropped phone that the guy foundand decided to make a quick sale since he didn't need it, or a guy that's going on hard times and had to sell it to get food for his baby. Who knows? Not you, nor I, nor the op for that matter.

The point of xda is to help those in need and all you're doing is posting irrelevant posts in a thread clearly asking for help.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A_Flying_Fox:
Also, I'm not suggesting buy stolen phones. I'm just saying, don't assume.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zainqaiser:
Thanks a lot man....i really appreciate ur help.....
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raylusk:
Fair enough but the op assumed it was stolen. My report and comments were based off his assumption. It wasn't my assumption it was his.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zainqaiser:
Yeah i admit but it was just assumption....n i didnt knw that assumption was gonna led to all this bashing.....legal issues...n what not.....
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jirafabo:
Oh just because the guy was black you assume it was stolen! You're not only a scum of the earth thief you're also a racist! (*sarcasm)
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boominz28:
Doesn't matter if it was mother theresa , and I'm sure there are a number of us who have seen what the effects have done. Now u do have a point in that it may not be stolen but he himself has said he suspected it might be. And at that point is when the help stopped. No more guessing or hypothosis this thread should close before it gets even more out of hand

Rule 9

Closed
[A7 Android Development] tjc2k4:
Here's my first custom ROM for the A7.

It has support for Microsoft's XBox 360 controllers and some bundled emulators. Wired controllers just plug in to the USB port. Wireless controllers need the USB Receiver for PCs. This makes a great combo for a portable gaming station with the HDMI output.

XBox 360 Controller:

The controller can be used for some basic navigation around Android OS. The buttons need to be configured in each emulator.

They are mapped to key presses as follows:

A = A

B = B

X = X

Y = Y

Left Bumper = L

Right Bumper = R

Left Trigger = T

Right Trigger = Z

Left Stick Click = 0

Right Stick Click = 1

DPad = Left/Right/Up/Down (in landscape mode. it will be sideways in portait mode)

Start = ENTER

Back = ESCAPE

Xbox Guide = HOME

Apps:

The emulators included are free/lite ones from the market place. If you like them or to save state, purchase the full versions. The script that installs these is supposed to only do it once, so they should be easy to uninstall if you don't want them.

ConnectBot and Dolphin Mini Browser are also installed on the first boot of this ROM.

ADB:

The ROM automatically sets up ADB to listen over tcp on port 2323. This will make your device a little less secure but makes development and debug much faster for me. To disable this open a command prompt and type:

su

setprop services.adb.tcp.port -1

stop adbd

start adbd

You will have to do that every reboot to disable adb over tcp.

Base:

This is built off Dexter's 1.1 Mod, so all his changes should be in here too. GMail and Market seem to work fine.

To Install:

Copy update.zip to an sdcard and put it in the tablet. Power down the tablet. Enter recovery mode. Wipe the Cache. Wipe user data. Install update.zip from the sdcard.

Known Oddities:

The LED ring on the wireless remotes will flash the entire time, but it functions fine.

The LED ring on a wired controller will advance by 1 section each time the device sleeps/wakes up.

The controller sends all its keys on first connection.

Only 1 controller input is supported for now. The wireless receiver supports upto 4 so hopefully I can get some multiplayer going soon!

Link:

I've uploaded the update.zip file to Mediafire.com since I don't have the webspace anywhere to host a file this size (90mb). The file reference is "2hm8i9jt32btmkw"

This forum will not allow me to post a link direct link since I'm a new user, so if another user could post it ( "mediafire.com" then "/?" then "2hm8i9jt32btmkw" ), I would greatly appreciate it.

Try it out and give me some feedback :)

I'm trying it too. Might as well since I'm probably going to return of and get a Adam.
[A7 Android Development] masterfred:
Just wondering ... this is not a multi-touch screen ... can you control the D-Pad and press like A Button without lifting the D-Pad ?
[A7 Android Development] tjc2k4:
Yeah, it lets you hit multiple buttons at once.

In Mario 3 I could hold the run button and use dpad, then jump/fly without trouble.

In Mario 1 I had trouble changing directions in the air while jumping but I think that is part of the game.

In the PSX emulator I could hold Circle & DPad to run around.

The only strange thing I can think of is that the Left Trigger and Right Trigger are converted from Analog to Digital (they measure 0-255 but only report on/off). Because of how I did that, games probably wont recognize holding down those buttons, only a momentary press.

Generic Controllers

I've been able to map keys on a small USB keyboard to control my emulators. I installed your mod, and I cannot get it to work with a USB Logitech controller.

I don't have a wired 360 controller, but I do have wireless. How would I get that to work? Do I just have to have the USB 360 Reciever for Windows? Thanks in advance.
[A7 Android Development] xluthor:
Thank You - SlingPlayer App question

Thank you for your work on this rom.

I was able to get things working well but i'm having a small issue with my slingplayer app not being able to open. It installs fine but when I click to open it the screen goes black for a second and then returns to the home screen. It was working using Dexter's 1.1 rom before but I occasionally had to open it 2-3 times before it worked.

Any idea what the problem could be?

One other question - Do you notice the screen is pixilated on the external display when you hook up your a7 via hdmi?

[A7 Android Development] jordan49:
XBOX 360 PC Controller

Apparently I found the LAST wired 360 controller in town! Everywhere I went this week only had the wireless controllers. That would be fine if I had the USB receiver for it.

Anyway, I've been using the controller with my emulators and it works like a champ! It is very touchy on diagonal directions in games like Contra for NES. In the levels where you run side to side, and face up to the walls firing straight and not diagonal is a pain.

Has anyone had any success with PSX emulators? I got one off the Marketplace and I haven't gotten it to work yet. I've only tried one Bios so far, but I'll keep at it.

I've also noticed in this ROM my internal memory doesn't display correctly anymore. It worked in Dexter's 1.1 Mod.
[A7 Android Development] I<3Android:
I ordered my controllers off ebay. 2 for $50. I've got the PSX emulator to play. BUT its very choppy, and the sounds awful. I tryed Diablo and only got to the first mob and my cha glitched out. That being said All the other emulator work 100%!!!

Thanks so much creators of awesome!!
[A7 Android Development] Lukifer:
I tried installing your mod - did a wipe and cache wipe before install - plugged in my madcatz xbox360 wired controller, and it wont work, is there something in settings I have to change? The light flashes, but it wont control anything.
[A7 Android Development] I<3Android:
Thanks so much for this Mod. It really opens up the gaming on the a7. Will there be a update from Dexters new update?
[A7 Android Development] hextor_dark:
update

Great work.

Update with new Dexter mod?
[A7 Android Development] tjc2k4:
To use a wireless remote, you do need a Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver for Windows.

I edited the driver to only support Microsoft brand remotes to simplify working on it. I'll add back in the other stuff now since I have a better idea of how it works.

Thanks. I'll try to get something new together this weekend.
[A7 Android Development] I<3Android:
Your awesome!!
[A7 Android Development] hextor_dark:

Yeah new update:):)
[A7 Android Development] moku160:
Please include madcatz support in your update. And thanks for all your hardwork
[A7 Android Development] I<3Android:
When might we see your mod?
[A7 Android Development] tjc2k4:
It's here: http://www.mediafire.com/?g8ia8bvjrd1vvfs :)

I used Dexter's 1.2 mod to build off this time.

The some buttons are mapped to different keypresses, so you will want to remap the emulators and make sure it's how you want it.

It should support more controllers, now matching original xpad driver:

Microsoft X-Box pad v1 (US)

Microsoft X-Box pad v2 (US)

Microsoft X-Box pad (Japan)

Microsoft Xbox Controller S

Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver

RedOctane Xbox Dance Pad

Thanks so much! I flashed dexters rom 2 mins ago to check it out. Im flashing yours as we speak. Ill update you very soon! Thanks so much for all the hard work man!
[A7 Android Development] hextor_dark:
yeah¡

Great work!!!
[A7 Android Development] I<3Android:
Everythings looking good. We thank you so much for the work you do. If it were not for you and Dexter we would of returned these things long ago!!
[A7 Android Development] Lukifer:
Flashed - did the full wipe thing. Tried using my madcatz wirec controller. Still no joy. But I know you have added a lot and did a lot of hard work so this isn't a complaint - just a test note.
[A7 Android Development] moku160:
Thank you for all the hardwork. For testing purposes I would also like to say that my Madcatz Microcon is also not working
[A7 Android Development] ZenInsight:
This may have been answered...but can this do one or two controllers? Since the A7 has HDMI out I was really hoping to get some SNES going with my son. That would be amazing. Donation if this ROM can run two 360 controllers!!
[A7 Android Development] netstat_EVO:
I am only assuming here, but I would assume only one controller. As far as I know this was originally made for a single USB controller, and just so happens to support the wireless with the Microsoft wireless controller USB adaptor. Also I am pretty sure it more or less just maps keys, which would mean that the emulator would have to support key mappings for player two and I would be really surprised to see that from an emu designed to run on a phone.

I have my fingers crossed for you though, your idea to combo the emu with HDMI out would.be awesome if multiplayer were possible.
[A7 Android Development] ZenInsight:
Almost all my emu's allow for any key mapping and a player 2. SO...Tiger SNES, and Tiger MAME (CPs2 and Neo geo games) as well as GSNES all allow for two player mappings.
[A7 Android Development] netstat_EVO:
This is looking better and better.
[A7 Android Development] ZenInsight:
Anyone that has a usb hub, can you see if two gamepads can be connected at once with different button mappings...anyone...
[A7 Android Development] Marbieskarb:

[A7 Android Development] netstat_EVO:
If you have 2, can you try to get it going with multiplayer? Would help a few people out.
[A7 Android Development] no6969el:
This is just a rom correct?

What would one need to push this controller mod to another rom? I have an android device with full USB ports and would like to use my xbox 360 controller to play emulators :)

Would love to find out and would appreciate so I can get something going on for my community :)

Thanks for your work.
[A7 Android Development] rombold:
Can't this be made into a flash update like dexters patches
[A7 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
I checked the differences on v1.1 and this one, and so far i only found the added kernel library to actually be important to activate the use of the controllers..

since this rom has not been updated, im posting future support for it here..

download View attachment 552039 and install like any other update from recovery.. this will only patch your current rom, no wipe or anything is required.

any emulator is still required to be installed from Market.

thanks to OP for the original mod..

(i have no xbox joysticks to verify with, but comparing binaries it should work fine, otherwise post a status)

Once again dexter to the rescue. Thanks tons!

[A7 Android Development] Blades:
So really, only a couple modules were needed? Nothing in system/usr/key* (aka keylayout,keychars)? Where are the mappings defined? Just trying to get this working on my gtab..
[A7 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
hardcoded (taken from an ubuntu dist)
[A7 Android Development] Blades:
Exactly what was taken? Is there a jstest arm binary? Are you saying a modified xpad driver (based on kernel source)? I suppose I have to look at creating keylayout files and such.. having android interpret the "xpad" as a keyboard.. but if that were the case, I guess these files would be universal.. so any other hints, of sorts.
[A7 Android Development] Blades:
Just fyi.. seems like the led can be turned off via kconfig.. so says the xpad.c file.. or perhaps that just means support for it.. yeah.. probably the latter. .

I can get output from /dev/input/js1 consistently... and thats fun for like 2 minutes.. but that means that Android is being Android.. seemingly going out of its way to deviate from the standard function(s) of linux. I could throw this tablet. I hate Android..

ever used a standard usb keyboard with this thing - in hopes of having some sort of uber-portable ssh client. more deviation.. in other words.. ctrl is not ctrl.. obviously. bleh. I'll frisbee this time-waster one day..
[A7 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
keyboards have configs in /usr/keylayout ,which are loaded by its "name", so example logitech.bin would be a keylayout, but its certainly not standard yet.. one keyboard for one country. (thats pretty much how vendors sell their mobiles with keyboards, only layout only, not language based, and config changes for each country)
