Anyone got the Vulkano player working on any of the leaked GB roms? I just get an "Unable to play stream", it works just fine on CM 7, so there must be something goofy about the leak.
I read that there might be a trick with libmediaplayerservice.so but I cannot find any links to this.

This thread should be moved out of the "Thunderbolt Android Development" and placed in "Thunderbolt Q & A"; which would seem more appropriate, since you are asking a question.
I have the same question. I did a search, and this appears to be the only place it was asked. I love the new Bamf GB roms, but if I can't get my Vulkano working, I'm afraid I'm going to have to go back to Froyo.
I found a thread on Vulkano's website, but it wasn't explained very well (also I'm not allowed to link it due to my low post count). He didn't say which previous version, or where to find and replace it (I assume using root explorer) Could anyone with more knowledge of this please explain where I might look for "libmediaplayerservice.so" and why it might be the culprit?
Does anyone know where I might find the "libmediaplayerservice.so" file from CM7? I think this may be the file to try to use based on what I read. I would like to give it a whirl and report back if possible.
This is where I found the suggestion: http://vulkanocommunity.com/forum/v...ingerbread-broke-my-vulkano-streaming/page-2/
Thanks

I took the file from the .zip file for cm7...its in the system/lib folder. I pushed this over the one on the phone and it wouldn't boot up. It probably needs some other files...versioning is huge and could cause build issues, I have a lot of programming xp, just not Java/android so I'm playing with fire while I'm in there.

I used the lib file from the bamf 2.0.4 rom. Changed permissions to r-rw. Working on the roms that aren't sense 3.0. On the bamf 3.0 rom I get sound from the vulkano app, but no video. Replacing the lib file does nothing. I am guessing the framework changes on 3. have broken this app. Oh well, I am content with the sense 2 gb roms. Hopefully, vulkano will get this working in the future with sense 3 roms.

Just wanted to chime in here on XDA that the libmediaplayerservice.so file from 2.0-4 doesn't work on BAMF 1.8.6...won't boot up. I'm going to try to grab the same file from BAMF 1.7 as streaming my Vulkano worked fine on that ROM. Fingers crossed.
Reporting back that grabbing the file from BAMF 1.7 remix, pasting (overwrite) into the system/lib folder, and setting the appropriate permissions didn't work on BAMF 1.8.6. Rebooted the phone twice and even uninstalled/re-installed the Vulkano app to no avail.
I reallllly don't want to leave this ROM because I love it but losing the functionality of my Vulkano absolutely blows. Anyone have any suggestions?
This fixed both my Camera and Google Talk that stopped working in Sense ROMS om 08-31-11.
FIX:
1. Go to Settings and select Date & Time.
2. Un check Automatic
3. Change the time to 08-01-11
4. Go and open your camera (it should work now)
5. Now you can go back and check Automatic in the Time & Date Setting
yes,I see log:

I TAKE NO CREDIT FOR THIS. Thanks to the help of mpwt51 on the Android Central Forums and Snow02 on the BAMF Forums, this issues is now resolved.
Looks like Verizon put some sort of time bomb into these apps. Simply changing the date back wil resolve this issue. Of course that is no way to actually resolve it. Flash this http://db.tt/Bcltlcr instead and it should solve these two issues.

You guys are freaking geniuses. I have been looking for a solution for this for over 4 hours and found nothing. Figures, the minute I check XDA there is a solution, right there.

That wasn't the case last night when I originally posted the issue and 4 guys over at TheMikMik were flashing like mad men, including myself, to try to figure out what sickness was ailing our beloved devices! Glad there's a cure though.
not rooted
This can't be flashed if not rooted, correct? I'm on GB 2.11 not rooted
It worked on GB 2.11 1nd 2.10 not rooted, Thank you very much!

Hey guys,
I'm amazed that someone actually figured out that the date is causing this problem. Seems lame that there's this code in the system with expiration dates. WTH Verizon!
Thank you for this fix its a life saver

I'm not really sure why, but this only fixes my google talk, but not my camera. I've tried several of the camera fix .zip files and the most common result, across multiple ROMs is that google talk gets fixed, but the camera stays black, acting like it's working, but there are no buttons and the screen is black.
I first tried this on BAMF Forever 1.10 and acheived that result. Then, I tried it on Liquid Vigorsense v1.1 (can't find v1.2 on Rom Manager and the rootzWiki link doesn't work b/c it was on multiupload) and had the same problem. Eventually, I flashed each ROM again, wiping data, cache, dalvik and batter stats multiple times and when I wen't back in to BAMF Forever, it worked. B/C I liked sense 3.5, I wanted to go back to Liquid VS, so I tried flashing back to it and sure enough, both gtalk and the camera worked.
At that point, the only thing I wanted on a sense 3.5 ROM to make my life complete was the keyboard with arrows, so I tried a few keyboard w/arrows zips and none of them worked, so I tried flashing one of the Infected ROMS (Airborne). I found a keyboard w/arrows zip within their lists, so I flashed it and got the keyboard to work, but then the camera was gone. I found a camera fix that they had and it didn't work initially, but after a few re-flashes, everything worked.
Then I got greedy and wanted my sense world clock/widget, so before flashing back to one of my backups from liquid vs, I backed up the Infected ROM and when it booted back up, gtalk and camera were broken again. I tried flashing all of my backups from liquid and bamf forever that had a working camera and the camera/gtalk were broken on them as well.
So, I've flashed Bamf SOAB and I used the keyboard zip for bamf SOAB (worked!) and the camera fix mentioned in this thread and no dice. gtalk works, but still, just a black screen camera. I've wiped and flashed and wiped and flashed each, liquid and SOAB couple of times each (each time, wiping multiple times).
I've got a hilarious 1 year old girl and really want to get back to documenting her life in the candid fashion she so often provides, but I need my camera to be fixed.
I haven't seen many posts on this topic across most of the forums/sites after Septemer, 2011, so it makes me feel like everyone else got this to work. I didn't have the problem in September. It never hit me until I had to swap out my TBolt due to the right side of my screen crapping out. When the new one came from VZW, the camera/gtalk problem happened.
Any help or ideas? (sorry for writing a book)
Much thanks in advance.
If your like me and have tried the Atrix 2.3.4 ROM for your x2 you may miss a few apps from the stock ROM and eclipse.
I really liked the AOSP gallery and camera and music from eclipse. And i was missing the FM radio.
Here are those APK's pulled from eclipse 0.5. You don't need to remove your originals as they seem to coexist just fine.
Hope this is helpful for someone else
Camera doesn't work, gallery did, I didn't try the others
Hmm camera is working for me.. i pushed the same files on my phone... anyone else have that issue?
Sorry to put this in General but I haven't met the requirements to post elsewhere and hopefully someone will see this .
I've been keeping up with the Atrix 4G CM10 Mod and have to say great work so far. The latest version fixes most of the issues I've seen in the past including the Camera and random reboots.
Few things it doesn't fix that may be either app developer issues, issues with the mod itself, or something I'm not thinking of; Netflix doesn't work , Triple Town (and some other games) don't work (I think this is due to hardware accel, but they work on my Flipside so I'm not sure that matters much).
Anyways just wanted to say thanks, and great work. Can't wait for the next update.

Just tried it but I'm going back to Turl's CM9 which I've been using for a month now. CM10 isn't quite as refined as CM9 atm, CM10 doesn't allow for transitions also the crt animation isn't functioning along with GPS(which also isn't working in CM9 for me), on the bright side Google now worked good on CM10 and is pretty cool.

Video is not working in the native camera app but you can apparently download a camera app in the maket to take video. Chrome tabs still crash the app. Neither of these will probably be able to be fixed until we get official drivers from ICS update.

Seems to depend on who you are, the Camera and Camcorder work fine for me under CM10 with the native camera application. Though it does crap out from time to time. I've had better luck with Pudding Camera being stable.
As for tabs, don't know, will have to look to see if they are working when I get home.

Whitout acceleration, ICS or JB is useless =/ (no video cam, no 720p video playback)
Whaiting for the official one ^^ (It will be crapy but our deves will mod it)
I know, my english is terrible!
I have jokersax CM10 and my issues so far are:
-When the camera takes a picture with the flash on, the image is overlayed with a heavy green tint, also happened in CM9
-Cant see internal SD storage in Win7.
-Video worked at first (with delay) but now crashes with some gallery error.
-Can't get GPS to work but I'll try GPS test outside in a few minutes
-The animations are smooth but sometimes do this weird little jump back at last couple of frames, doesn't really bother me.
My battery life seems better than the CM9's I tried and the phone has been using deep sleep with CM10. That said, both 9 and 10 use noticeably more battery than CM7.
I also had issues with GPS on CM 9/10. I tried all the common fixes. Even going back to a blur-based ROM didn't fix it. Finally flashed my radio to 36P and now the GPS locks in seconds.
Jokersax CM10 JB 0.2 !!
Hi Guys,
I being a noob, installed Jokersax's CM10 JB 0.2 version yesterday. Had some nervous moments :fingers-crossed: when I soft bricked my phone. But finally recovered from that and could install JB. The following are my observations;
Working:
1) Camera
2) GPS
3) Google Now works. Awesome !! Very quick and to the point.
4) Music play back on phone speaker
5) DLNA works. Tested with Skifta and iMediashare
Not working: (Driver issues and app issues)
1) Chrome not working properly. When I zoom in, it crashes
2) Camcorder - recorded a short video snippet. But the file vanished from the gallery. Not able to find it or it did not record at all !!
3) Finger print
4) Stuttering slightly when moving from one desktop to another
5) No Webtop
6) XDA developer app
Will update this post when I do further tests
Thanks again to CM10 developers, Jokersax and to all those who have helped in getting this ROM to this level.

Amazing rom and theming questions
I have installed CM10 on my Motorola Atrix from Emerson Pinter and found that it works amazingly. Some minor issues involving the camera, gps, and sometimes frame lags, but other than that, it seems to be a pretty stable build. Battery is amazing compared to most other roms. I get a 25 hour battery! Thanks EPinter! I just have one question and hope someone can help me, even though it doesn't exactly pertain to this topic. You know when you are at the lockscreen, you tap the lock and you can slide it to wither camera or unlock? Well, I was wondering if I could change the little dots in the background, maybe change the color or something along those lines. Does anyone have any information on that?
Thanks,
Luca

Wouldn't a different theme do that?
Sorry for reviving an old thread (I thought it would be better than not using the search function) but where can I get the latest version of cm10? I mostly need a functioning camera again which this jokersax ROM doesn't seem to have working.
I understand that Motorola has pretty much killed off any hope of a fully functional jb but I only want a working camera.

Framework-res.apk & Camera Issues
No. I have tried so many themes and none of them have made a difference. I forget where, but I read an article that the image was in framework-res.apk. Any help? On a side note, my camera on JellyBean has been REALLY bad. Is that a result of unofficial drivers? If anyone has a fix for any of these issues, please please please contact me!
Thanks.

Sorry, my bad, I only just realized the theming engine cannot theme the lockscreen. It's a known limitation of the engine.
You could always decompile your framework-res, find and change the relevant file, and then compile it back...
Audio over bluetooth (Epinter CM10 20121011)
Hi guys,
I wanted to post this in the dev thread but was not able to do so as I do not have the required minimum 10 posts.
I am using Epinter's CM10 Oct 11th version. I am having a small issue with it.
I am not getting audio over bluetooth. Does anyone else facing the same problem?
I tried to un-pair and re-pair, reboot etc. But nothing worked.
It would be great if any one can solve the issue.
Thanks,
Trying to get to 10 posts so sorry if already mentioned...
On Jokersax latest CM10 build and have a camera issue as well, no preview of what I am taking, it seems to take a picture as I can see thumbnail afterwards, but cannot view the thumbnail or change location for default directory... Only bug I found so far, less than 12 hours testing...

I believe it's google account related, I think there is an issue with your account and that device, but it is likely temporary and little you can do about.
One option is open a new account and see if that works, does not help if you have paid apps on the first account.
Another option is try a different internet source, like a friends wifi or a cafe that has free wifi
Is this device new to you?
also could try rebooting device, factory reset, reflash firmware with RSD Lite...

Hey there Shadow, I hope you see this. You and your files have been a huge help to me. My S3's screen digitizer failed, and after taking it apart and restoring the original files with odin/heimdall I've decided to use an x2 I bought for $20 bucks about 4 years ago mainly for the sd card and to use it for a remote control/music player.
Since I have to now use it for a phone, I've tried multiple rom's again. Trying to find the best combination of updated android/features and speed/functionality. I've used everything as of late, except eclipse because I've had trouble getting the 2.3.5 update to take, and the rom itself to take after the update. That's a topic for another day, I've used eclipse before but not lately.
Here's my question, sorry for the delay in getting to it. I've installed the JB version of AOKP. AOKP build 6 I think it is. I was going to apply the 2.46 su zip before rebooting but forgot. I did install the ReRecovery zip for cm7 but can't get back into recovery at all. I've done the battery pull, and plug into a charge to no avail. It simply goes into charge mode. I have the hijack boot zip on my sd but can't copy it to system/etc (I think that's where it goes), so I can't get into recovery that way. I believe if I could get my phone rooted, I could get it to go into recovery via the hijack boot zip.
Do you know a way I could get it rooted? I'm about to try a script from the EzSBF That I've extracted and put in my Download folder in Linux. I usually just run the sbf script from Linux when I want to sbf instead of booting a live linux cd. I have never used adb (I should've learned) because I've never had the need. Is there a way to use adb to push the files needed or to install the su zip? I've also tried installing this zip from the built in recovery to no avail.
Also, I use selectel a MVNO that uses Verizon and regional Verizon compatible CDMA towers. Back when I had my DX, if I had to sbf, sometimes I'd have to re-activate. If I had to re-activate, I'd have to drive 40 minutes away to get to a real verizon tower to activate. As the regional carrier wouldn't never activate via *228. I'm afraid if I SBF, I may have to re-activate. Right now, my ride is broke down, so I can't actually drive the 40 minutes to activate. Any other time I'd SBF and be done with it. But not this time. Again, if I can get root on this rom, I'm certain the hijack zip will let me get to cwm. I used the Hijack zip when I was on CM10 A3 but that rom was a bit too slow for me. I went back to CM7 which is faster, and everything works, but a lot of apps require 4.0 or greater to function. One example is Zen Pinball, not necessary but I did pay for a table. There are countless other examples. And I can almost never get the play store to function correctly on CM7 without erroring out. When this happens I uninstall the play store, and sometimes google play services and just use the old market app to search for what I want to install. Are there any root apps you can think of that might work? Or scripts? Or do you know whether or not I'll have to re-activate if I SBF?
Thanks for any input.

And thanks again for your repository of DX/DX2 apps / roms. I do wish you had some eclipse / molten themes in that repo but I realize most all links for those are down.

There are countless other examples. And I can almost never get the play store to function correctly on CM7 without erroring out. When this happens I uninstall the play store, and sometimes google play services and just use the old market app to search for what I want to install. Are there any root apps you can think of that might work? Or scripts? Or do you know whether or not I'll have to re-activate if I SBF?
Thanks for any input.

And thanks again for your repository of DX/DX2 apps / roms. I do wish you had some eclipse / molten themes in that repo but I realize most all links for those are down.

most roms will not work well on 2.3.5/1.3.418 except eclipse 2.3
downgrade to 2.3.4/1.3.380 if you want anything other than eclipse
don't do updates, just flash with rsd lite or ezSBF
stock recovery is really only good for factory reset
eclipse and cm7 are the only to rom I would try
I don't remember anything about root and AOKP
I can't say for sure about SBF and reactivation, but likely it will be required unless you have a nandroid backup made in a custom recovery
Thanks, I did the sbf and was still activated, so after tapping the four corners I was fine. I wish I had made a nandroid and backed up all the partitions before installing CM7 again. But I didn't.
Do you know of any active threads here where people are still using GB? On CM7 after the play store updates along with play services, the play store no longer works. And play services uses a lot of juice. I've found some alternatives to play services on here which may be a viable alternative, but to get anything from the play store, I have to uninstall or freeze play services, and roll back play store to the stock market. I can use play store version 4.0??? and it works okay but soon updates to 5.8.8 which crashes everytime I open it, and sometimes randomly.

I don't know of any active GB threads
Did you try wiping playstore app data?
Might able to stop play store update with titanium backup using the 'destroy market links' option
A silly mistake on my part.

I did try wiping playstore data, and tried various versions of the play store. I tried wiping and uninstalling play services, which we need for the most part for some apps to work. I'd forgot about the destroy market links option.
The actual answer is here in the hide section, I haven't figured out or rather took the time I guess to make these posts that pretty
BUT... guess what the problem was with the play store not working all along... I never would have thought about it and only discovered it by accident. It turns out that I was using an old theme for GB that I had used since the days of my DX. The Mixer series by MrDSL. I've always loved his themes. Of course everyone has their own taste, but cherry mixer is what really did it for me I've always loved that theme, and always used it on CM7. As soon as I changed themes from the mixer series to Eyecandy or almost any other theme, the Play store started working again.
Thanks very much for you help and for your awesome documents and links on google docs and your collection of files. I can't tell you how many times I've referenced your material. I mean a lot. Sometimes it's much easier to look through your documents than to search through a thread on XDA. or Droidxforums, or anywhere, Rootz seems to be spamed to death.
So I just want give you a huge thank you for all your resources. I found a ton of stuff for the DX and CM7 in general that you can't get because of dead links now. If you want any of it for your collection let me know.
While CM7 runs great, many apps are few and far between. I can't get videos from Youtube to play now. And I have to freeze Youtube anyway to get rid of that pesky sync icon. Seems like I remember another fix for that sync icon but can't remember where, I do know that freezing or uninstalling YouTube fixes it.
I sbf'd again, and again, I didn't have to re-activate. In my opinion just luck again. I've been reading about CM10 and CM9 a lot lately for the DX2 but I can't figure out why the last time I was on CM10 that my DX2 was so painfully slow. This is compared to Kitkat on the DX which should have been slower. Maybe it's because of the lack of support from Nvidia. I'm going to keep reading, but I know I won't get the stability or battery life I do with CM7. At the same time, I'm missing out on so many apps. So, I'm going to keep reading about CM10 A3 which is supposed to be far more stable than CM9, but I've read through posts where people used both as their dailly drivers. The last time I used CM10 A3, the dialer really worked poorly too. And I couldn't get the torch to work in quick settings. No disrespect to DKZ (Dragon Killerz I thnk his name is) without whom I probably wouldn't even have these two choices.
I know you said to run either Eclipse (I downloaded your Eclipse 2.3 nanadroid), but it'd have to be themed. Maybe I could use an xposed module or the Ultimate Online Kitchen. because the links for the Eclipse themes are dead now. I do have the Titanium theme but it's for Eclipse 2.1. There may not be a huge difference, but I'm betting the difference is there which is probably why although it worked, Eclipse didn't run as it should have.
If you have any advice, on CM9 or CM10 please let me know. Or even MIUI based on CM9, I've read good things about it too. but being based on CM9, it'll have the same bugs. Or should have. Some have reported that somethings worked better in MIUI based on CM9 vs CM9 itself. I'm sure I probably just need to stick with CM7, as it was running very well, except that I couldn't watch a youtube video, usually the error given was that "This video could not be played, click to try again" or similar. I've tried removing Youtube, and installing and trying different video players to no avail, as well as, installing different browsers. Again, to no avail.
Thanks again, and if you want APEX with some themes to add to you DX collection or anything let me know. I'm going to be cleaning the drive with those items on there soon and I'll try to make you a list of what I have for the DX. I didn't though away much. I did get rid of some old CM builds for the DX since we have Pooka's CM and the boot menu. I used to run either that or WizardOO's MIUI with his bootmenu.. Personally, I always thought that bootmenu he developed was the bee's knee's. (I'd better not say I thought it was the Shee IT.) I'm sure there are youngin's who read these boards too. And I shouldn't use foul language even though to me they're just words. LIke any other words in the dictionary. They've just acquired a bad connotation through the years kinda like how in Europe, nudity isn't such a big deal, Even in public baths, both men and women used those together. Sorry I got off topic..
Thanks again for your hard work in assembling your collection of lnks and documents. I have to wonder though why you don't include Molten or MIUI in your DX2 listings.
Thanks one more time Shadow....

Now that I've thought about it, maybe the reason youtube isn't playing in CM7 is due to the theme I'm using, but I doubt it.
