SixAxis on DroidX2 - Motorola Droid X2

Who has all tried the new SixAxis app out for the Droidx2 and what are your experiences?
I can connect just fine, I've noticed the dpad works for scrolling through suggestions in the market, but i haven't found any emulators that will work.

I couldn't get it working either and haven't been able to download the compatibility checker. Its not in our market as our device seems to be listed as incompatible so I emailed the Dev last night and asked if he knew anything about it.
Ill post when I hear back from him.

it is in our market i have it. As the OP said, it connects just fine but I cant get emulators to work either. I am having an email conversation with their support (they are VERY quick in giving help). I'll post up what to do and how to do it once I get it resolved.

Its in your market?? Do you have the updated market? Its not available for download in mine and it wont let me do it remote on my PC as it says incompatible. I'd post a screenshot but I'm not at home.
Very weird...
Edit; are you on GB? Might be why I don't see it? I'm on prerooted gb

yea I'm on p3droids pre-rooted stock gb with an updated market and both the app and compatibility checker were in there. The compatibly checker worked for me and everything so I bought the full version.

Same exact situation here lol ill be sure to get back to you... theyre probably swamped with questions right now since this app is on the top of every android news section lol

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.

changing my lcd density back to 240 fixed it!
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!
Earl

[Q] Anyone tried the MLB 2011 app yet?

The lite version works, just wondering if the full version works.
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.
+1 it woks
Looks pretty cool.
If we have mlb subscription and our Evo's get internet with flash, do we need the app?
Can we watch live games without it?

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.
Works great on Cm7. W/tablet tweaks, latest build...(has been working on last few builds) w/video, the Astros are Horrible Again, and Mark Texeira is still doing what he does best up in NYC...Go Yanks!

Honeycomb build 4 not working w swype
I installed todays swype and i can tap out words but not swype. I know i am using the right keyboard because it does trace but the words wont display.... Honeycomb build 4.
Works great for me on CM7 v14
It looks great but I can't actually use the swype function, like the poster before said.
Running CM7 and when I swype the border flashes blue but no word appears. Otherwise, it's nice to see some large screen support from Swype. I love it on my Vibrant
Doesn't work for me (NF 0.6.8.3). I can type but can't Swype.
It worked for a second then quit, cm7 v14 Keyboard is nice for fat fingers. Soo close.
I have phiremod v4.1 and the swype does as the others said; I can see the keyboard and the swpe gestures, but no words appear, I can tap them out as with the regular android keyboard, but swyping does nothing. It does make a noise after a swype gesture though.
Also when I put the NC in landscape view, the skype app takes up the entire screen.
still not able to try on my NC, but when swype does that behavior on my nexus one, if i switch to the android keyboard then back to swype through the input method selector, everything works great.

You may well be my hero. I can't confirm that it worked for sure, as it threw a licensing fit since I used it on HC instead of CM7, so I'll revert back to HC and try this again. The licensing fit never occurred until I tried what you suggested.
Tried that method of switching to Android KB and back, still didnt work for me, same as everyone else.
I'm getting the same results on CM7 v17. I'm also getting a message that says swype is configured for another device and may not work correctly when I first switch over to it.

yeah, shoot, me, too. eMMC Honeycomb 2nd edition.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
I have read in another thread that Nookie Froyo tends to spout random IMEI numbers when an app asks about the device it is installed again. Swype authenticates the beta by IMEI and you are limited as to how many IMEIs you can install it on. Thus the licensing problem - install Swype and it locks itself to the reported IMEI. Then run it again, and it thinks it's installed on another device.
Licensing errors
I'm also getting licensing errors but the keyboard does appear to load correctly on, CM7 #17,
damn. Was so excited too. Wont swype. Have been dying to put it on my NC, typing on this thing sucks.
Sometimes the betas get hacked (but no posting warez here!) so they are not IMEI locked anymore. Unless we can figure out a way to report a stable IMEI on the NC across all firmwares per device, that may be our best bet .
Will try when the WSVGA will be supported in french..
Yes I can confirm what is being said here about the IMEI... Definitely the root cause here as reported on the swype official forums.
The way I see it, this can be worked around without the need to hack the Swype package. My understanding is all we need to do is spoof the telephony stack a little better, so that the IMEI is consistent. I am at work so I cannot do too much to find out how hard that would be.
android API call for getting IMEI is
android.telephony.TelephonyManager.getDeviceId()
First step would probably be to override this function and just report to logcat to confirm the Swype Licensing process (Would have to check both "Swype installer" and "Swype" applications this way, full end to end install process) calls that function to retrieve the IMEI instead of using another method.
Then if that works, override the function to return a static number. Does anyone know if the IMEI can be used to reverse lookup manufacturers and devices models the same way MAC addresses can? If so, we may need to carefully pick the number returned so that if Swype does a reverse lookup it thinks we are using a valid device - Such as Galaxy tab, which I believe is functioning under the latest beta.
I am definitely not an expert android dev, I barely understand this stuff so far. Just hoping to get the conversation started because I'd really like to swype.

Motorola Xoom bluetooth keyboard - Working

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.

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,

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.

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?

[Q]Modern Combat 3 + gamepad (wii classic)

The touchscreen controls in MC3 are terrible! <I'm blaming the fact that I get my butt handed to me in multiplayer on the crappy controls >
I've seen the ability to play MC3 with the PS3 controller via the sixaxis app. This works because the controller can be mapped to areas of the screen. I don't have a PS3 and hate the idea of buying a $50 controller to play a $7 game.
Is there any way to accomplish what the sixaxis app does for the wii classic controller? I've not found a way to do screen mapping, only emulator key mapping with the wiimote apps.
How about some sort of xperia play emulation with wii classic controller? Don't know if that would work for touchpad. Anyone know a way to use dual analogs from the wii classic?
Ive been wondering the exact same thing. MW3 isnt too bad on my galaxy s2, but on a tablet the controls are near impossible. It would be awesome to use either a wii controller or some other type of gampad...
I am sorry this isn't too helpful, but it is awesome with the sixaxis remote. I found a ps3 controller and got pretty lucky, but I definitely know they show up cheaper than the 50 bucks you speak of. I highly recommend it. I have a ps3 remote dedicated to the Touchpad.
That being said, I had been using the wiimote classic and regular wiimote for a while on emulators, but never saw anything like what sixaxis does, and that's pretty surprising to me. The sixaxis app just got amazing updates this week that fixes some of the issues it had on the Touchpad - save yourself the hassle and spend a few bucks on a second hand ps3 controller
What you need is an app that supports keymapping. I did a quick Google and it looks like this app here might support it. Use at your own risk, I have no idea as to if this will work, especially since I don't have a WiiRemote.
Now, not to hijack your post or anything, but just don't feel as if it's worth making a new thread over it. Anyone with Shadowgun able to make it past the "Simon-Says" keypad puzzles?

Here's what I did, because I had the exact same problem. Using Absolute System Tools go to the build.props editor and change the ro.product.model of your device to GT-I9100 and ro.product.brand to samsung, then restart your TouchPad. You can make a backup before editing these values, but my backups didn't reapply properly, just remember what you edited or come back here for reference as to what you modified.
After restarting, I had the same corrupt data error when starting MC3, I redownloaded the data over WiFi, it then had to scan the data twice and redownload some bits and pieces before it worked properly. Give it a few tries. Just a heads up, my TouchPad would sleep of death every time the screen turned off while downloading/scanning the MC3 data. If this happens, hold down the menu and power button for 5-10 seconds and restart the device. I just made sure to keep my screen active while it downloaded/scanned.
Here's a thread to use for reference concerning using Six Axis Profiles for MC3. This guy had the right idea for button placement. But I found this persons advice most helpful.

MyGica ATV1200, Dual Core Android TV Box - how to?

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 actually looking for a CWM package to use but as there are some talented developers already working on these box's I have a feeling it won't be long and we can do as we please with them.. Here is the M3 CWM working..

System enharncements:
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..

Pimp My Rom -
Take your time with this one and work out what settings work for you..
I suggest you go in and use the Tools>Universal Init.d Support -- to Check that it is setup for you..
if it say negitive just hit the Activate button then test.. works for me..

Also, there is a Entropy Generator no 5.. you want to have this set so it is showing "4096 bits"
you can also use this program to check it it working..

Looks like another update out..
Dated 14.3

Will see if the box wants to auto update once I am home as out on the road..
But should be able to report back tomorrow
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..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2045734
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

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/androidtvbox/update_spi_mx_20130326.zip
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

dgcruzing/anyone,
i am trying to use the cifs manager app on my atv1200 but it seems i need a "cifs.ko" file or the app won't work.
Where did you get the cifs.ko file?
any help gratefully received, thanks.

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.
any new dgcruzing?
how did you get cifs manager working?

i used Mount Manager from the PlayStore and it worked flawlessly
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.
Try a firmware upgrade..dont know what you are on..but only go to 05 - 4.1.2 dont go to 4.2.2 unless you are prepared for troubles..
We have plenty on it over @ xbmc.org threads

I have bought this box 3 days ago. Now i habe a Problem. When i use the droitmode app and use the multitouch swipe , the indicator stays in the screen. It does not disappear. I am in the latest Firmware. Plus i cant update the busybox. After updating my Firmware is totally screwed.
Are there any custom roms for this box?
