Hello,
I picked this up at Staples this afternoon but having some problems.
Turned on bluetooth and found the keyboard right away. Tried to pair with the device asked for a PIN which the manual lists as 0000, paired up fine.
However in the status it says paired but not connected.
Anyway have one of these and gotten it to work? From searching it appears to work with Nook Color, I'd be surprised if it doesn't work with ours.
Edit: I am running completely stock at the moment. I had clockwork and vegan but restored to whatever the current rom VS has out, 3588 I think?
Edit2: Could someone who has the .apk for Bluetooth Keyboard Easyconnect please forward it to me? It doesn't show up in the market and the sites that list it won't let me download because my "device is not compatible", which is really annoying.
Edit3: It works!
Thanks,
Neudle
If the Apple bluetooth keyboard works on our gTabs I would be surprised if you can't get the Xoom keyboard to work with it.
Here's the thread on the Apple one that says how they got that one working.

This is all highly dependent on the ROM he is running. Some ROMs will work out of the box, some won't, and some will with coaxing.
im running the Vegan 5.1.1 rom and im having the same issues.
works FLAWLESSLY OOTB on my motoX with GB, but on vegan its a battle. one of the biggest issues I have with the Gtab atm is a lack of a fully functional rom. Vegan is about 90%, TNT is about 90% but crippled in some ways with its reliance on the stock rom, cyanogen is about 85%. but compared to even the half baked droid X roms out, its kinda pissin me off, ive contemplated going Xoom more than a few times this week. if only it had a USB port!
Looking for Easyconnect .apk
If someone has the .apk for easyconnect could you please forward it to me?
I finally had to install the enhancement pack to get the market but the app still doesn't show up even after trying to do the market fix.
I've found download links on other sites but unable to grab the file.
It's really annoying when sites won't let you download an app because "device is not compatible". A warning about potential non-compatibility is fine but I wish they wouldn't babysit me and let me decide if I want to try an app.
I really like this keyboard and I'd like to try to get it working if at all possible. The only potential solution I've found is trying the Easyconnect app.
Thanks,
Neudle
ALso looking for that pesky and elusive Easyconnect APK file
Howdy all. New to the dev forum due to my recently recieved and rooted G tablet. Absolutely loving it, but would love to get my bluetooth keyboard working. Seems like the next attempt to get ig to pair AND connect should be with the bluetooth keyboard easyconnect app, which the market will not give me access to. Any chance I could get a copy of the file? Or maybe there is a way for me to download the file onto another device, eg my laptop or my girlfriends droid x, and then send that file over to my tablet? I have trued to get it off the droid x but cantt seem to find where the downloaded app is.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
Eliot

You have to have root on your Droid X and then use RootExplorer and look in the data/app directory. If you don't have root on your Droid X then get Z4Root and use it to root it.
Xoom Bluetooth Keyboard Working
Big thanks to Stingray_ for forwarding me the easy connect .apk!
As a newb it took me a minute to figure out what I was supposed to do with Easyconnect but as soon as I rebooted it connected and I've had no issues with disconnections so far.
Great little keyboard with specific keys for navigation, home key-search-back key.
Thanks again Stingray_.
Neudle
Still some minor issues
Didn't have a lot of time to mess with it when I originally replied.
The Home key works but that's it. I haven't been disconnected even after about an hour of sitting off and on, so basic functionality seems solid but that's it.
The 'function' keys appear to be preassigned for things like mail, web, and other stand phone/tablet processes but they are not working right now.
I still like this keyboard but the preassigned functions would be nice when I have it sitting at home in a stand.

Hi,
can Stingray or Neudle or anybody else send me the Easy Connect .apk by email please . I've been trying to install from Android Market on my Adam tablet but somehow it doesn't seem to download. Really need this App asap to connect my new BT keyboard.
Thanks a lot in advance !

has anyone worked a custom rom that will accept a mouse and keyboard with this tablet? I'd love to hook my monitor up to it and get it working to just create a server instead of having a full PC laying around. I know some mice work here, but only single click. any accepting a dual click scenario through a remote desktop type login?

Has anyone found a way to get Sirius/XM working on an Android Tablet? I have an Archos 70 and I downloaded the Sirius/XM app from their website and it does not work on the tablet. It just signs in forever until you cancel it or the device goes to sleep. I tried the app from the Canadian site too because I read it was a differnt version but it does the same thing.
Not sure why it would work on a droid phone but not a droid tablet running the same OS but I was hoping someone figured out an alternate way to do this or a fixed app for the tablet. This is about the only thing I haven't been able to do with this tablet. Any info is appreciated.
Same issue
I have been wondering the same thing..the app looks great, I don't see why it won't work, no error or anything just never comes up and takes you back to the login screen. The only thing I could come up with is the screen size, during the login its also supposed to be downloading the channel art, etc, maybe its an incompatibility with the screen layout but it seems like it would be a good place for an error message of some kind.
I hate to say it, but I believe this is a measure that Sirius implemented to make sure that this app is only being used by "authorized" devices. The "checking for updates" screen that I and everyone else seems to be getting stuck on is likely their way of making this app a "protected app."
I just hope that there are enough fans of both Sirius and the Android tablets that someone will make a hack or a work-around to get this app working. It works great on my Incredible, but I would LOVE to have it working on my A70.
Just installed the Sirius XM app on my Vizio Tablet with the same results.
What is crazy is that : siriusxm.com / player loads fine with Flash.
But there's no way for me to enter my login and password into the Flash text boxes. They don't seems to be recognized by Android OS as text entry areas.
I'm running 10.3 of the Adobe Flash plugin on my Vizio Tablet.
I realize this is an old thread but I figured a way to make it work. I simply installled the app on my rooted phone. Then I copied the com.siriusxm.apk to a sd card. Put the sd card in my tablet and copied it to the local folder. Tapped on it to install it and shazam.
Screencap of it working?

Okay, so first I have to have a rooted phone? I have a G1 I am not using, could I use that?
Where do I find the com.siriusxm.apk? I have Linda Manager on the G1, do I find it in the application's folder?
Just tap to install the mentioned file and it should install? Then fire up the Sirius/XM app, log-in and it will work?
Thanks, I'm in the market for a Archos 43 now that the price has dropped. This "trick" might work on the Samsung Galaxy Players that just came out as well.
Im wondering if you put the opened version you took off your rooted phone here would we be able to use it?
would be a great help. My problem is that my account is in the states but im living in canada.
Have you tried the newer SIRIUSXM 2.0 app. They use it with their new LYNX radio which is android based.
no I haven't. They won't even let me download it here in Canada even tho my account is based in the states.

FINALLY !!!!!!
I finally have a working copy of this app on my Xoom. It is in the play store under SiriusXM Internet Radio. It says May 3rd, 2012, version 2.0.0.62. I upgraded from an older non working version today just for the hell of it and to my surprise it logged in and I was listening for a good hour or 2 without interruption. My Xoom will definitely get more use now.
I decided to make a thread for kaos that gives a more complete set of incomplete/broken things so he doesn't half to. I will try to keep this up to date as possible and if you see something that has been fixed that i have listed as broken please post and I will correct it. I will try to do as many detailed things as possible for now and as things are fixed I will remove them and if a fix is required to be applied manually will try to include it also. Keep in mind this is an unofficial thread and I am not responsible for anything you do to your phone. Now to the list (PS if this is an inappropriate posting area feel free to move it)
Data: FIXED entirely update to latest build
Wifi: FIXED update to latest build.
Bluetooth: Somewhat working, will pair but won't connect.
Browser: UPDATE: fixed, still crashes on flash and javascript some though according to people in irc.
USB notification: no usb mount notification not sure if USB mass storage will work or not but adb still works so a work around is using the commands adb push and adb pull (google on how to use these commands if you dont know already)
Vibrate notifications: vibrate works on the stock messaging app fine but I can't get it working on go sms. Workaround would be just use the stock notifications.
Quadrant: quadrant doesnt work for me gets stuck at database writes, not a big deal no known fix though
Sensors: FIXED update to latest build
Headphone jack: Headphone jack is now fixed somewhat. Still buggy to a degree some headphones won't work (it seems to only work for headphones that have a mic built in for me but it could be just hit and miss with all headphones).
Haptic feedback: haptic feedback in general doesn't work. No known fix
Camera: Currently not working. No known fix.
Cyanogen Settings has some things that make the phone freeze, DO NOT ENABLE JIT its not working yet.
Recovery: Currently broken for me and some other people. Not sure if its working for others (kaos's works and has been apparently.) JT said it shouldn't be a hard fix for him in the future (likely next release?) Use odin to get back to stock and restore your backup from before you had CM installed if you made one if you want. (report any problems in thread please) UPDATE: Greyone and Kaos informed me that recovery works if you go to recovery mode and select advanced > reboot recovery (thanks!)
Wireless tethering:Works if you use the Wireless tether app! fix found by ae55. Might work with other wireless tether applications but it WILL NOT work with the wireless tether in the settings menu.
USB tethering: Not working for me (try it and post if it works for you, its in settings, wireless and networks) more than likely a 3rd party app like easy tether would fix this as long as your 3g is working
MMS: MMS also does not currently work. A workaround is to simply get the message sent to your email for receiving but it seems that the sending of gmail messages isnt working atm i just did a test message to my number and it is sitting in my outbox. Been there for a good bit so its more than likely not sending it. A 3rd party application could fix this possibly? Update: Message finally went through it took a solid 15-20min though so I wouldn't rely on it myself. Again, 3rd party app would prob be your best bet around this. IT DOES NOTIFY YOU IF YOU RECEIVE AN MMS JUST WONT DOWNLOAD IT!
ADW launcher app drawer: not really a bug just many users have looked for this and cant find it, its pretty simple to fix just longpress on the homescreen and tap custom shortcuts then the adw launcher things then app drawer. Hope this clears some things up.
YOUTUBE: seems as though the youtube application isnt playing videos, I dont have good enough service to test it but I will take everyone in the threads word for it. Other video playback apps seem to be having trouble too.
Pandora: Currently my pandora isnt working, could just be me but i think its a problem with the 3g still.
Thats all that I can find for now that isn't working but its likely I missed something, I more than stress to keep in mind Kaosinate is still a VERY alpha build. Its about a 50-50 split between things working and things not working for now but it is coming along thanks to Kaos' work on it and I invite everyone to follow him on twitter and join IRC for the MOST up to date information about this ROM.
Edit: Nevermind. Haven't checked his tweets (well, his reply tweets). Good write up.

The latest Swype beta works wonderfully in Kaosinate v2.
There is an extra step you have to perform to get it working.
Download and install the swype installer from your beta.swype.com page. Install swype. It will force close when trying to configure swype after the install or generate a license.
Delete the libSwype.co from system/lib/. Then reinstall swype and voila! You will have a fully working, fully up to date, swype keyboard.

Full version working for me... I haven't tried streaming live data yet, but the basic functions of the app work.
Full version works for me. I was streaming a brewers broadcast yesterday.
Works for me. I have a hard time getting into spring training games though.

I didn't see the mlb.tv option anywhere. I'm running CM7. For people who have gotten it working, are you using Nookie Froyo? Auto Nooter? I tried editing the build.prop on CM7 to spoof a Tab, but it didn't seem to work.
For the time being, I was able to get the mlb.tv website working pretty well through Opera on CM7. That'll do, if nobody can come up with repeatable steps to get it working through At Bat, but I'd love to be able to do it through the app if possible.
I'm running CM7 and the full version works with pitch by pitch and audio broadcasting. I also have a MLB.TV subscription and can watch vlive video on the Motorola Droid X. Live video didn't work on the NC. I got the video working through Playon though. Video quality is excellent over my wifi! Watching the cards game right now even though it's on ESPN.
Same here, playon works, DROID2 works, everything works fine but no video option. Running CM7 with the tablet mods. Thinking it's either the app detecting it isn't an approved device or something with flash.
Playon with CM7, video is working for me!
It's said to work fine with the verizon galaxy tablet. I think if we can make it think that it's that tablet, it might work. Is that the Build.Prop that controls that? Anyone know the build.prop string for the Verizon Galaxy Tablet?

Yeah, that's what I meant in my post above. I changed the following in the build.prop:
ro.build.fingerprint=google/passion/passion:2.3.3/GRI40/102588:user/release-keys
to
ro.build.fingerprint=samsung/GT-P1000/GT-P1000/GT-P1000:2.2/FROYO/XXJJ3:user/release-keys
But it didn't seem to have any effect. One thing that occurred to me this morning is that perhaps I should try downloading it with that build.prop in place (as opposed to downloading it with the original one, switching the build.prop, and then opening it.) Perhaps the market serves up a different version when you download it using one of the approved devices.
I'd love to hear from someone who has streaming through the At Bat App working on their Nook. Until I hear more info, I'm dubious.
I will give it a shot tonight. I'll trying changing it and then reinstalling it straight from the market. Will try using the apk from my DROID2, it has working video.
Tried both ideas out, no go.
I wonder if there's more of the build.prop that needs to be changed in order to properly spoof it as a Tab. Anyone have any experience in editing build.prop files for other reasons?
There is someone in the Galaxy Tab forums that clamins they got it working on non certified devices. I'll post if I can find out what he did.
Definitely report anything you find, jkabaseball. I've seen you posting in a few other related threads, and appreciate that you're as dedicated to figuring this out as I am.

Anyone know what the **** is going on? Not only can I not get this app, but it also says I am incompatible with Quick Pic, and Wifi Analyzer. I had Wifi Analyzer working fine on 2.2.2... I don't understand why I can't get these apps, is there something screwed up on my 2.3.3 install? I completely wiped the phone and SBF'ed and erased everything before upgrading. I've spent the past 3 days getting my phone looking how I want so at this point I REALLY don't wanna reSBF/install. Is there anything I can try? I have a feeling more important apps are gonna pop up as being incompatible the more I look for stuff I need.
Not to sidetrack this thread too much, I still haven't gotten an e-mail back from the sixaxis devs. I absolutely must have this.

That said sixaxis still doesn't work on my phone. Prerooted GB, it gets to where I can have the app connect to my PS3 controller, and it says controller 1 connected, but it will not respond to anything. Sixaxis is enabled as my input device as well. Went in to FPse and check to see if it would map my buttons to the hardware buttons and it wouldn't respond. I believe GB also will no longer work with the wii remote like it did in froyo, so maybe it is a similar problem.
Really hoping the dev gets this working for us. If anyone gets an email back from them pls let us know.
Has anyone tried this on a rom other than stock pre rooted gb?
i haven't heard back yet but I will send them the link to this thread so they can see other X2 users are having problems.
I'm having the same problem. I've established the blue tooth connection. I've successfully seen response within text message fields, but none of the emulators recognize the input.
I also sent an e-mail to tech support - I haven't heard from them in days. I'm running Nitro's Eclipse 0.2.1
Hi all,
I'm the dev of the Sixaxis Controller app. As was suggested earlier, I've been pretty swamped with emails up until now. I just wanted to let you know that I am looking into this issue, and would appreciate some testers to help determine what's going wrong here.
First of all, if anyone is able to get hold of a Wii Remote, I'd really appreciate you trying that out in emulators using the Wiimote Controller app. If the Wiimote Controller app is fine, it's probably something silly I'm doing, otherwise I suspect it is something in the stock roms for the X2.
Which brings me to the second question; can everyone let me know which rom you are running.
Thanks heaps, and I'm sorry this issue has taken me so long to get to!
I updated my review for your app to 4 stars simply because of this post. Thank you!
I CANNOT get ahold of a wii mote to try out
I am running Pre-Rooted Gingerbread (no other changes besides having root apps)
PM me if you need a tester or have any questions. Id like to help anyway i can
I have a Wii-mote, so I did a bit of testing..
The Emulators I tried are Fpse, N64oid, and Snes9x EX. The Wii controller software I used was "Wiimote Controller" by CCP [email protected]
So firstly I connected my Wii controller to my X2 using the wiimote software, it discovers my Wii controller without problem, and proceeds to report every button press in its list, showing it is functioning. Wiimote is enabled as input device. I tried Fpse, N64oid, and Snes9x EX, by going in to their input options and trying to bind my wii controller inputs with their hardware mapping options. All emulators were non-responsive in detecting my wiimote buttons as hardware inputs.
Interestingly enough, the built in Wiimote software provided in Snes9x EX would connect to my controller AND receive all of its inputs correctly, allowing me to play any of it's games with the Wii controller.
Now, before I switched to my current (I believe P3, the most popular ROM on this subforum) Pre-rooted GB 2.3.3, my wii controller was able to be read as hardware inputs on all emulators I tried. I was using Froyo 2.2.2 and had no problems using the Wii controller. I would be interested to see if anyone still running 2.2.2 can use this sixaxis software without any problems.
So it seems that the problem lies in our 2.3.3 not being able to read our bluetooth connections as hardware input devices, probably due to its updated bluetooth system files. This makes me wonder how Snes9x's built in Wii software gets it to work, regardless. I wonder if ALL 2.3.3 phones have this same problem? I know 2.3.4 has an even newer version of the bluetooth software and wonder if this fixes our problem?
If you (Sir Earl) have any additional things for me to try, let me know.
That confirms my suspicion that Motorola botched something in the 2.3.3 version. I don't believe it has anything to do with bluetooth, but rather they have somehow stopped IME's from working outside of the normal OS menus. The reason Snes9x EX is able to work is because it isn't using an IME.
On a hunch, can I get someone to try installing a different home screen app, such as ADW.Launcher or LauncherPro, then trying the Sixaxis app again. I suspect something in MotoBlur is trapping the input.

I was using LauncherPro Plus during my testing.
Hmmm... It must go deeper into the kernel then. I'll see if I can find the source code and try to find some answers or a workaround.
In the meantime, it would be good to get some confirmation from others that it works with 2.2.2, but not the 2.3.3 update.
Can someone try going to Sixaxis Controllers Preferences->Input Mappings->1st Controller mappings and setting the Up button to the 'SEARCH' key (be sure to disconnect and reconnect the controller for the changes to take effect). Next, make sure your Sixaxis is connected and set as the current input method. Run FPse and go to Settings->Input->Hardware keys, then tap UP, followed by pressing the search button on your phone. If it accepts the button and says something like 'Value: 84', then try running a game, and testing whether the up button on the controller is responsive in game. Also try pressing the search button on your phone to see if that is responsive. Make sure you try this with a game where the up button would produce a noticeable result!
Report back your results!
Thanks!

Just got one to play with. and so far feeling ok with it..
But..
Why would you go and make the "Back, Home, Resent apps" buttons that are core to Android not be there?
Anyway, I got a feeling its only going to be an edit of a system file and we should be able to get them back working..
Its running JB 4.1.2
Anyone got any idea's how I can go about doing this?
As I am using team EOS 4 on the TF101, with thier nice way of having seperate EOS ability to edit the size, postion of these buttons in question..
Is is fesiable for me to grab the EOS apk and move it into this Rom an see if it works?
I am also thinking that something like LMK might be able to work too, but would have to be worked via mouse inputs not touch..
Any pointers in the right direction would be great thanks..
Also, I will use this thread ed as a bit of a collection of handy hints for these box's as I am sure they are going to up there in the development circle once they become a bit more available to the masses..

I know there are many posts about this but it took me a while to understand how it works and there is no single thread which has the information gathered in the first post, so I decided to make this. Sorry if it uneeded.
Anyone who want's to use on screen NavBar buttons, he's lucky! (at least compared to ICS).
Now, by adding in
the line
you get the navigation bar (after reboot) and at the same time Android system recognizes this and adds the three dot menu icon whenever needed*!
If you want to disable the hardware keys, edit the file
These are the three hardware buttons
Add a # before any you don't wan't to use any more. I did for 158 and 139 and left my Home button working.
There is a mod** (flash it in recovery) which makes the bar almost half the size. It's better looking and less space is wasted but it does get some time to get used to it and you might need a couple of tries sometimes when trying to hit those buttons.
*This wasn't the case for ICS.

I am using a few programs to make this build run sweet.. the following are the programs I using and its up to yourself to do some reading and work out which things to tweak.. but mines running as sweat as it ever has.. NO LAG or RE-DRAWS.... and Google Play store is not sticky anymore.. Mind you it shouldn't be on a dual core device.
Also as a note I am running Livewall papers in the background "Ocean HD" so this is taking up 15mb of Ram..

Also I have some details on mkv play back from industry.. Will post when I can get all the data together..

Haven't had much time to put it through its paces as been travelling for work.
But here are some thoughts on it so far..
I have just upgraded to "update_Mygica_20130314.img"
http://up.stdvr.com/mygica/android/A...a_20130314.img
Like the new bigger pointer for the mouse, also it seems to have brought back the remote controls as I had lost those but I still have to manually turn it off.
I swap out the Chinese launcher with Apex launcher - Apex runs nicely and can back up all the settings and screens so are happy with this.
Speeds and Kernel controls :
As pretty much the same as the M1-M3 box's - until we have developers that are hacking these to suit our needs we are locked in the the Geniatech/MyGicia/Privos setting's - Which I hope in the not to distant future we get some of the phone/Tablet kernel guru's turning up and opening these kernels up for us to adjust the speeds in which these can run.
Using CPU Master I am able to get it to run @ 1540 after boot but the settings don't stick and from the readings I have done this is in the way they have setup the Init.d..
What is Init.d?

CMW type recovery:
Been said before-hoping in the not too distant future we get a CMW or TWRP going as this will give us more options to keep the box clean and load in customs roms.
How I do it -XBMC-addons
As I seem to be installing multi-able versions of XMBC and or firmware upgrades, I have now got a set pattern in which I can reset most of my fav addons back up.. it maybe a little long winded for some but works for me as I find that I lose addons if I don't keep track of them thus I have them saved to a NAS drive. I access them via this method to re-setup.
1: Load the NAS directory up using CIF manager.
2: In XBMC -Go in to "System-Addons-install from zip
3: Go in to "Root file system" then "mnt" then 'cifs' then a 'XBMC' directory where I keep a backup of all my depositories that I use. ( over the last 12 months I have collected a nice bunch of them from around the traps)
Remotes:
Droidmote : I had it going the first time I set the box up in a hotel room using my Asus portable wifi router and had the accelerometer working nicely on a few games. but since I have been back to my home network I have not been able to get it to work - just tested it with that modem again and its not working, so i would say the uniput needs to be loaded up via a script again. Will play with it when get time.
RemoteIME / Android Smart TV remote app

Not a lot of info on this one but it works nicely with my tf101 and this box.. what I like about it.. just works..
Finds the box and away we go.. wish Droidmote was that easy.
Got a thread on XDA on it.. so hopefully it gets picked up a bit more and some more work done it on..

Also been playing with this one.. but cant seem to get it to work.. got the server side apk but as yet, I am not sure if it will only go with the A8 but I have read somewhere that others have had it going but not sure on what hardware.
I got a feeling that you have to have the bubblepnp going then this may work in with this server and remote.
just haven't had enough time to play.

Chinese TV apks
As I am here in the middle kingdom- I have to have things to entertain the guests so found this bundle - I am not sure how many will work outside of China but some are actually pretty good once you get the hang of how to use them. (no my Chinese is not that great).. a lot will update so this is normal.. just work out which is "yes" and which is "no"
(Will post the link once its loaded to Dropbox)
here's a link to addons for chinese tv within XBMC
http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=64250&page=37
ok.. a few problems of it locking up.
Cant pin it down to anyone one thing as yet..
Doesn't seem to get hot so thats not it as I have a USB laptop fan under it, seems to be when I change out to another input on the TV and or I leave it idle for some time, kinda goes in to sleep and not come out it.. got to reboot.
Another thing on the lastest MyGica roms is the lack of Home' 'Back' 'Search' 'Back' 'Recent Task' 'Menu' buttons.
so at the moment I am using this and it does the trick.

New firmware..

http://www.geniatech.com/down-eng/androi...130326.zip
Downlload and don't unzip, copy to SD card or USB disk, connect to the box and run upgrade->local update, select the SPI file to update first, after finished, it will restart the box, then, do the same steps to update the firmware, and XBMC is still xbmcapp-armeabi-v7a-debug-20130223.apk.
Above is a new firmware for Geniatech's dual core box, it fixed 4:3/16:9 aspect ratio and android bar problems of XBMC.

Upgraded to this one today.. Working smoothly.
Haven't had time to play with XBMC builds on it but was streaming off PPTV most of the day..
Not sure if it was the box or the network.. Seemed to encounter the ethernet problem after about 2 hours where the stream was caught up.
Switched out to wifi and ran the same stream for a while.. Then switched back to ethernet and no problems.. Maybe a net problem and or that old bug is still hanging round..
Overall zippy as hell but I am also running the Seeder app to keep the Random Entropy up to 4096.
We can clock up to 1512mhz and change out to performance governor but min seems to be locked in at 48mhz which seems a bit low.
But with that being said.. It shows that it actually sits down between 72mhz & 336mhz on low loads.
Navigation buttons are back plus a new screen shot one..
I also noticed in settings there is a new EASYLINK option.. Maybe some like a new remote control app or airplay?
Anyone got info on it?

has anybody used the component out on a mygica atv1200? i swear the blue and green are reversed. i've tried 2 sets of cables. i hooked from mygica to computer and tv. both will not display until i put blue cable in green and green in blue on the mygica box.. and obviously when i do this it messes up the colors. has anyone else noticed this? i tried taking out the hdmi as well and got the same results. i'd love it if someone could confirm i'm either right, or i simply have a bad box. thanks. i've also tried with different firmwares. including the 3/26. i'm now on 1/15.
Did anybody try that DroidMote server. I think I have problem with that uinput. I've downloaded it and made som changes with terminal emulator following instructions, still no moves... Please advice...
make sure it is rooted and goto the system folder and edit build.prop and add a line of code on a new line at the bottom:
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
and reboot the device to get those buttons.

Works out of the box for me..
One thing I do is test the network I am on..
i.e test it with my TF-001 to make sure its working, then test it on the ATV1200.
As my other box I had to do some mods on it to get it to work..
but overall works great.. play a few games with it..

Thanks for answer. It works nice on the new firmware!
Another question. I faced to weird shutdowns during normal operation (browsing, video playing). It happens very frequently and I did everything, updated firmware, did several resets - no success. Any suggestions what it might be?
ADD
I found that it was not device issue but my TV set... It works smoothly on my neighbour's TV. If I could only know that they'll be incompatible... TV Firmware update - no success. Buying new TV for my box is ridiculous

Bear' before I reply I need to check my setup again to see what is what..
Just shifted cities here in China so its been a big few weeks..
I have got the box working into the Synology NAS and it is working without me playing with the CIFs setup.
But I have used the Networking program that came with the firmware and set it to auto mount the video and TV folders on the NAS.
I also need to find some time to setup XBMC again due to this new update.
And also test the new internet connection I have got..

well thanks for this initial reply.
i have not been able to get cifs manager to work at all without a cifs.ko module. i have got an smb share connected in xbmc, but it seems unreliable.
anyone know how to get cifs manager working on this type of box (geniatech/mygica), i think i need to download the cifs.ko mdule but i don't know where to get it.

I am getting a Green light on the box and it won't respond anymore. This happens when I leave it sit for a while. Any help? Seems to be some kind of sleep or standby, but it won't wake from it unless I unplug it and then plug it back in.
