Hi community,
this is my first post here and I hope my english isn`t too bad
I have an Archos 101 G9 with rooted ICS 4.0.3 / 4.0.6 (firmware version)
Now I heard that there is an app called FaceUnlock for ICS, normally it`s
integrated but I think Archos missed that...
How to get FaceUnlock on my Tablet, do I have to install a package or flash my firmware?!
ThX ::Blocks::
-There is no CMW for archos so sorry, no update.zip flashing
-For additional features in firmware it's best to ask suduru_petru, he makes custom ones

it is not avalaible on all tablets
If your looking for an alternative you could try this app:
Visidon AppLock
But please be careful. I've found with most face recognition tools can be defeated just by printing a photo of your face and putting in front of the screen.
Facelock isn't a security feature but a comfort feature.
Good to know that it's not implemented in any tablet.
But on the other hand a tablet needs no protection from accidental use. It can't activate in the pocket as easy as a smartphone and most will be used only at home. But it may need protection from unauthorised access. Facelock is no appropriate way to deny unauthorised access so it's not useful for tablets.
That could be the reason why it was not implemented.

I got it working, but the camera was spazzed up (I had a defective model that flipped the image anyway) with green lines. It's as simple as copying an apk and some libs btw

How did you get it working?!
Did you ripped that apk off?! Or from the internet

Hi there,
I just bought some Chinese knock-off called Star x18i (that looks like an SE Arc) based on Android 2.3.6. It works fine, except a few sensors, that don't seem to work properly : magnetic field and gyroscope.
I tried to install different compass apps, but it doesn't work.
I installed Data Monitor app.
For Magnetic Field, it indicates :
Sensor information:
Name : AMI304 3-axis Magnetic Field sensor
MaximumRange : 600.0
MinDelay : 0
Power : 0.25
Resolution : 0.0016667
Type:2
Vendor:Aichi Steel
Version:1

But when I launch "Monitor sensor" in the Data Monitor app, I get real-time figures for plenty of sensors (accelerometer, Proximity, gravity, linear_acceleration), but nothing for magnetic_field nor gyroscope...
Does it mean that Magnetic_field is disabled?Or that it doesn't simply exist on the device? Is there a way to enable it?
By the way, my device is not rooted so far, do you think that could help?
Thanks a lot for your answers guys!
Did you figure it out? I've got same problem..
Same on here.
I have an A9220, with *LOTZ* of sensors.
But the compass, the magnetic field and the gyroscope refuses to work
According to AndroSensor, they're "Waiting for event"
Waiting forever, I guess.
Exact same problem
Hi guys,
I have precisely the same problem! Did anyone get a fix for this, in the end??
Cheers!
i have same problem to .. my device nexian A5000 .. compas etc canot work ..

same problem , it's old thread but no answer , so maybe posting here is better thn new thread , magnitc sensor do not gives reading after rom flash , although i replaced files with *sensor* from stock to the new one rom how to fix?
On some devices like Htc One, your chineese tablets and my tablet Prestigio 7.0 hd i installed cpu z on them and there was nothing about a compas module, my s5830i has a compas module so i can use it and cpu z is showing it.
Are the aps you want to run on your devices saying that you dont have compas modules?
If they are you dont have it.
Some may not report it, but i dont thesee tablets of yours can do it.
About the rooting try kingo android root on your pc (nothing is sure)

I know that there are times when a company will use a similar firmware for their devices. On my old S2, it had an option for HDMI-Out in the settings, but that hardware was not available in my device. Perhaps a similar thing is happening here? Also when I pulled up specs for your device, I saw nothing about a compass.

Not many ebook program support dual screen.
the "Reader by Sony" however doesn't support Chinese character.
There's actually a Reader by Sony (CH) version on market.
However, since my tablet P is from AT&T
it's doesn't allow me to download due to region issue.
Is there a way to install CH version reader from Sony? or any ebook program that support both dual screen and CH?
Thank you all for the help.
ps. tried change the region, not help.

Sadly to say, there's no Tablet P forum and I see most of Tablet P user post here.
(Consider tablet P as tablet S2)
Anyway, if there's any other forum I can post, Please direct me, I would love to post there and get more attention.
Thanks

You mean at the start up??
The only way I could think of is rooting. Then changing the Tablet's region to China. So the tablet would be the same as it was if your purchased it in China. But as you have the ATT version, you may have trouble rooting it.

I actually found a extremely easy way to solve the problem.
Remove the original Sony Reader -> change market region (root require) -> download reader form market.
Hi,
so far I have been using iOS devices and they pretty much do what I need, even without jailbrake.
Unfortunately iPhone has a small screen and the new one I don't really like (plus it is quite expensive).
I am looking at WP but it also has few down sides (for me) despite of system itself looking great!
So,, here we come to SGSIII and few questions.
On my iPad I use VPN and got myself apps from UK and US store without problem. Now I can enjoy the likes of BBC iPlayer and Netflix.
If I'll get SGSIII will I be able to do the same?
I was told SGS III has locked bootloader and I will need access to this if I want to root this phone in order to download apps (like Netflix) from Internet , not from Google Play which in Poland will not have them available.
If SGSIII (which wen down in price a bit) will not do what I need - what else (with approx 4,5" screen) should I look at?

Does it mean that I will have no problem making VPN and Netflix work on this device?
And installing Netflix app (which in polish Play is not available).
You shouldn't have any problems running netflix if you root your device all your doing is getting superuser permission. If u flash a custom Rom you may have some problems then like I flashed paranoid android v2.13 and can't use the tvcatchup anymore still looking for a fixed!
Don't hold me to it I'm just going by my experience lol root didn't change anything service wise only the rom did.
No... custom roms is not my thing - i did not even needed to jailbrake my ipad so far. As long as I can get vpn up and apps like iPlayer and netflix all the rest is enough for me - all I need is browser, mail client, access to skydrive and MS services - and I am happy.
So I can get European SGSIII and should have no problem in getting the entertainment soft working on it?
TVCatchup blocks all VPNs
Just found something called Market Enabler - will that work for me to get those app from different markets...?
Yes market enabler allows you to find and download apps that are not available in your country.

Thanks! So unlike in case of Windows Phone I should be OK.

If you are on stock you should have the Remote Control app. If not you can try installing it, I found a download here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2134896 but there is more to it than just the apk.
There is another download which you can try here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2307405
Lastly, one of these should probably work! - https://play.google.com/store/search?q=ir blaster&c=apps (some require kitkat for sony/non-samsung phones)
Hi, I have recently purchased a Xiaomi laser projector. I like it a lot. It has the same menu as Chinese version of xiaomi mi box. The problem is that the projectors menu is in Chinese as well. I have made a little review on the menu here https://youtu.be/yPDoM2FYekE but I really want android 7, or at least 6 but a European version. Does anyone here knows someone who participates in building these roms so I can ask them??
you can install an English setup app
I am interested in buying this projector too, I saw an YouTube video saying there was a software that you can install to alter the setup setting so that there are in English. If you have not already seen them, I may try to play around with the android version however it may just be easier to attach it to another box such as the android shield TV and use it that way instead of killing yourself with Chinese apps and trying to upgrade Android.
It's pretty easy to change to English and install any app you want. I installed YouTube but you can't sign into an account due to no Google services pre installed. It's super responsive and great picture quality. It would be awesome if someone has a chance to make a rom for it or work out a way to get the play store and a launcher to run on it
I have exactly the same problem.
Although you can install an app to change the language to English, 95% of the ROM is still in Chinese.
This device is not even listed in XDA-developers long list of devices. I am not sure how many developers will spend 1500+$ to buy, develop and test roms on this projector.
It would be great to have an international ROM based on Android TV similar to the Mi Android Box.
Meanwhile, I connect my chromecast to the projector and it works just fine. Of course, this means that I am not using any of the "Smart" functionalities of the device.
hey if someone found an answer I would really love to know too. Got some english which is fine, but the miui tv version 1.3.63 on android 6.0.1 is a pain to have. Bloat ware apps everywhere that just reappear on uninstall.
Also no playstore is an issue. The netflix I have is not really fitted to screen size and also remote does not reach certain parts. so its cut off.
I dare not meddle with it at the moment, becasue I think the software can maybe root and do something about it? But what about the hdmi and av inputs. I am just worried if i meddle with it, I lose these inputs.
HELP if someone found an answer I would really love to know too. The miui tv version 1.3.63 on android 6.0.1 is dead the playstore not work in this version. HELP

You could try aptoide tv which is a play store alternative , you may need to side load it.
Unfortunately I do not have this device to try and create a ROM and I have never created one.
I get the impression its not that hard, I would just make a backup of the exiting Android should things go bad and then try Lineage OS which you can download for free. If I am not being clear I am talking about using a custom ROM with the latest Android Lineage OS.. I did this on an old Kindle tablet and had no issue. Well maybe I am not being completely truthful my first attempt at flashing I almost bricked the device, it took at lot of nerve and patience to make it work. Here a link below with more details on Flashing as I am not talking about an old man in a long rain coat.

Hello everyone!
The 12 september xiaomi will release a version of the mi laser projector for eu with oreo 8.0 and android tv, i have the projector in chinese version, are there any chance to bring the update on my device? At least it would be a simple flash of a oreo rom, or not?
Hi!
I also have Chinese version and would love to install the firmware for EU.
Normally the update should work via the USB with downloaded FW. So if Xiaomi publish the update we can give it a try. The question is whether the FW will check the region or any other thing before installation?
In the meantime, is there any manual how to make a backup or rooting via the Android Development on PC?
Hi,
I have the Chinese version with just a little bit English settings I would love to have the eu rom
what would be needed that someone can help us to get the EU-Rom on the China- Version?

There may be some hope for your request as on Oct 06, 2018 a user @servo386 was able to use abd and TWRP (loaded but not installed) to make a Nandroid copy of his v01 ROM (Chinese version). A few users have encouraged him to post on XDA. He is currently refining the process and trying to install Magisk for full root.
You need to be aware that the Android Oreo full English ROM, for this projector, has some draw backs. One of the biggest is that Xiaomi Oreo likely did a rush software job as they have dropped some very important projector specific settings/functionality. Primary to a lot of users is that 3D is no longer an option and that color correction controls are lacking between the two ROMS. On the other hand you do get working Google Playstore integration.
Also despite the recent success of @servo386 no TWRP nandroid backup of the Oreo version currently exists nor has the method used by @servo386 been tried by a Oreo Mi PJ owner. It's still encouraging news though.
All right, you can see the european version test here : http://www.passionhomecinema.fr/blo...iaomi-dlp-version-francaise-lavis-de-gregory/

Just in case it might be useful, here's an app I made to access engineering menu.
I have this projector and I wasn't able to install Google Services on it. I tried very many versions. Currently Im using it with Chromecast connected to its HDMI port. But I would love to see some custom ROM for it.
Android 8 Dolby/DTS
My international Projector has Android 8. I have problems with DTS and Dolby on the AVR. Here only stereo arrives. Whether Netflix, Plex, Media Server ... Sometimes restarts help. With another Android TV box directly on the AVR it works flawlessly. That is very disappointing.

Here is a more active forum with many owners of this projector both the V1 and V2 (international) models. You are likely to have better luck with that forum's thread. This one is more oriented to modding the projector's OS than Home Theater related experiences such as your describing. At the very least the owners can tell you if they have similar experiences or not.
