Sixaxis controller and Galaxy S with Slim ICS - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone
This is my first thread and I need some help about the issue in the title
It may be long, but I prefer to give as much details as possible
I recently flashed my SGS I9000 with Slim ICS 4.0.4 and this ROM is simply perfect (Starting with a device with 2.3.6 stock ROM)
Everything works fine, even bluetooth file receiving from another phone but I have problems running sixaxis controller
I have tried many versions (0.5.2, 0.5.3, 0.5.4; even 0.1)
Compatibility checker said that my device is compatible, but pairing with controller never works
The first time it have displayed the message "Client connected" but lights on my controller still blink fast
Investigating deeper, I have taken a look inside the directory "root/data/misc/bluetoothd/[aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff]" (My mac address)
The file "names" in this directory, that displays the names of paired equipments, was showing "PLAYSTATION (R)3 Controller" between many other device names so in fact it was somehow detected
Renamed this directory to erase any previous configuration with no success
Changed even my mac address (I don't advice this because this may lead bluetooth to not work with anything)
Used Motioninjoy software to pair my controller with PC bluetooth successfully
I thought to go back to gingerbread 2.3.5 (not 6 cause it is somehow buggy) or even CM7 because I have read that some users got it to work there but Slim ICS is very performant
PS:
My controller is a genuine Sony® controller
Any help to resolve this is welcome
Thanks in advance

Any chance to someone trying this issue ?
I'm consdering going back to gingerbread 2.3.5 if no solution

Wireless USB Modem on WM5

Hey Guys,
I'm running WM5, 1.50g for more than a week now.
Its simply wonderful.
there are some compatibiltiy issues witih the S/Ws now; but that'll be there. we were able to use this OS before the release thats the big thing.
I'm looking for two piece of info here.
1> Wireless USB modem is not working - does anyone have any idea? inputs on this? (i didnt try to mix this topic with non-woking buttons; hope thats okay and we can close the topic as soon as its resolved)
2> I'm on 1.50g now and able to use large amount of storage mem. I was running 1.60a earlier and cud not use large mem (just about 14M for storage) where I had to store all my email data and the loaded S/Ws. due to the space crunch; I had to come back to 1.50g.
As the 1.60a is faster (i heard so - cud not test and fall back to 1.50g imm.) and i'd like to go for that. Does anyone has got any idea how to make use of the 120MB memory in 1.60a to be used for my email storage and to be able to load S/Ws and data on it?
Thanks in advace.
Wireless USB modem on WM5
hey guys,
just reviewing whether anyone has contributed!
I saw another thread "Warning WM5 1.60a and Extended _rom" and I think, I can get around a way on how to make use of that 120mb program memory in 1.60a and i'll definitely going to try that once I hv the steps with me.
as regards the Wireless USB Modem; I think i'm the only person who's facing this issue or may be fewer ppl. if anyone's using I-mate PPC phone with WM5 with working application (wireless USB modem) please share ur configuration with me.
thanks.
Updating the topic to expand the audiance and expacting at least one response
:lol:
I am also having a problem with the USB Modem... It says "com open error (8)"
hello Duan,
have u found any resolution yet?
Nope... And after searching around the net I still have had no success.
Hey Guys,
I'm switching back to the WM2K3 SE now. I think its high time; we do not have any idea about the USB modem functionalities that's most important while we use the device as a modem while away from home or office.
I was okay with Camera, Record and all other facilities not available. I'm not in for all those flashy features but I have to have my Voice and Data connectivity inplace thats more than important for me anytime.
So, Guys; please please let me know once we have a solution for the Wireless USB / BT modem.
Thanks.
Wireless Modem on WM5
Went back to the 1.60b now coz i thought I have now got the BT adapter / dongle.
However, I'm not able to use the BT wireless modem with the adapter itself.
as I said.. as soon as i start the wireless modem application the signal indicator doesnt show the cross mark on it and continue show the signal strength. otherwise I think my lappy is able to detect the phone and everything works fine except the modem application.
I downgraded to a couple of versions of SE now (I have now forgotten how many times I flashed my device - guys let me know if its harmful to flash the device multiple times - now a days its about almost everyday I flash my device, thanks to my exch servr that hold my data). I tried 2.20SE I also tried the latest one thats been converted to english by Buzz and tried to start the BT modem application - no luck - same symptoms.
and again I flashed my device with 1.60b (along with the DCR ). However, the BT modem or USB modem issue is not resolved.
I'd really appreciate if someone can help me with the Modem application PLEAZEEE - PLEAZEE.
THANKS A LOT IN ADVANCE --
Yeah forgot to tell ya - I'm using iMate Pocket PC Phone Edition.
Guys, please try this configuration on WM5 as bluetooth modem, remove any connection on 'My Isp', start wireless modem application & dial...
FYI, I use 1.06b rom & billionton usb dongle. Btw I can't determine which modem type it use (cell line / gprs / etc.).

while i have not gotten the wireless modem to work, i have successfully started and seen the connection icon turn yellow. having written that, i started getting the "com open error" after adding com ports under bluetooth set-up. deleting those ports under bluetooth eliminated the error for usb in wireless modem application.
separately, in order to see the modem in my phone & modem control panel, i had to press start in wireless modem prior to tethering the device to my thinkpad.
btw, i am running wm5 on a ppc6700 (cdma/ev-do version of the htc apache, i believe.)

IPAQ HX2750 Wireless Drivers Missing

I upgraded to Spiaatie WM6.5 v3 - I get this message when I turn on my hx2750 - 'Unrecognized Card'
In the HP Wi-Fi Manager the link status says - 'Driver Not Loaded'
and in the version tab all three fields in the wireless LAN Information say
'Driver Not Loaded'
I have tried reinstalling v2 which worked before - Same problem and not all aspects of v3 removed such as the start up screen.
I have installed a wm6.1 version and this still did not solve the problem.
I have also tried going back to wm2003 from the HP site and again still missing drivers.
NONE of these options have worked.
I have searched all sorts of forums and even though others have had this problem NO solution has been posted.
Is this a hardware, Software or Registry problem?
If will test any options provided as I would really like to get it working again.
Any solution found will be posted in detail.
Many thanks in advance.
It would appear that if you went back to WM5 and even WM2003 and it still does not work then it's possible its a hardware issue. You may be out of luck with software fixing it. I'm running it with no problem and have not heard of anyone else having these issues. Especially with every version of software.
Thanks for getting back to me. I guess I will try taking it apart and seeing if any wires have come loose.
I anyone has any suggestions as to what to look for that would be good.
or if anyone has any other ideas as to how I might fix this please let me know.
I might go in Ebay and see if I can get a cheep Compact flash wireless card but would prefer not to as I use that to store data and music on while I use the SD card for Programs and TomTom data
Thanks
Update
OK took my Ipaq apart and got it back together without killing it
No luck though still no wireless.
Widened my search and found a russian site that detailed a simular problem and provided an update fix. My problem was that I could not get registered on their site.
Can someone help me and get the file 'up0015.cab' in this link
http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=57381&st=1220&p=1440781&#entry1440781
I can't understand why I could not login but this is supposed to solve my problem if you believe google translation
Thanks in advance.

Is there anyone who speaks russian who can help me?
File up0015.cab
Here is the file you are looking for.
I have seen the same problem with the "driver not loaded" message on my
HX2790. Solved the problem by doing a hard reset if I remember correctly.
Since I haven't used this file myself I must stress that using it is at your own risk.
The file was made by the great cook Yurrix and can also be found on his website. That is where I got it from.
Website is: http://all2me.blogspot.com/2008/02/15.html
Hope this helps.
Greetz Rowley.
Update
Hi
Many thanks for the file.
However unfortunatly it did not work.
In my settings screens it updated my Network Adapter list to include a SAMSUNG WLAN CF CARD (SWL-23x0)
Did a Hard reset after - Calendar + Message + Power and reset - to get to Formating PS screen.
Now Network Adapter list says HP iPAQ Wi-Fi Adapter
However the HP Wi-Fi Manager says
Status - Link Status - Driver Not Loaded
Version - Wireless LAN Infromation - Driver Version: Driver Not Loaded
F/W Version : Driver Not Loaded
MAC Address : Driver not Loaded.
I then ran the inbuilt self test. This seems to give a false result if I test only the Wi-Fi it hangs but if I test it with other items it says it passes. But i don't believe it.
I now think my card is dead as someone told me earlier.
But I had to try.
Thanks to all who helped.
Here is the 0016wifi cab made by Yurrix.
same problem
Same problem as above, but I tried switching wireless cards with another hx2795 (one that won't charge the battery) and found they both work (just not connecting through the software or possible hardware path). I applied both the xxx15 fix and the xxx16wifi fix and neither one works.
if I can't find the answer, I will just have to use one as a battery charger and the other as my pda. . .
if anyone knows of a fix, please let me know.
thanks

[Q] Remote Control Not working after Rooting for ICS Upgrade

Hi everybody.
Many years since I have been on XDA Developers. I recently got given a Sony Tablet S and, in my search for info, ended up here. Great tosee the forum is still great and very useful.
I am from the UK and rooted my tablet yesterday (using methods and SW found here) in order to upgrade to ICS. All went smoothly but I have noticed that I am unable to use the infra red functions on my Toshiba TV and Sky Satellite box after rooting and upgrading. They worked fine before.
Would this be anything to do with changing region?
My world will not end as a result of no longer being able to control my TV and satellite with my tablet. Just curious as to why.
Anyone with explanations or a possible fix, I would appreciate some advice.
Also - and this may just be me - I noticed that if you plug a USB device in or insert the SD card, it creates a folder in the Storage directory which is empty but cannot be deleted. So I currently have sdcard, sdcard1 and sdcard2 and usbdisk1 - usbdisk8. Is there any way to remove these as when I try to delete using File Manager HD, it says no.
Thanks in advance for your help.

I cant give u answer on all but it have two things
First : i hope u did not do a gegion chance while running ics i hope. Strangely enough i thought device should brick but idunno if its supported already
Second : there should be an option to accept root browsing and changing try "Root Explorer" the blue app you can change things if you want. Dont know how much you can adjust change delete etc. Didnt tryed all ofcourse and i think your regular internal sd can not be changed. Permissions for example.

I'm changing my device region all the time, now I've got sony tablet P region lol
About thread/problem name 'Remote Control Not working after Rooting for ICS Upgrade' - what root has to do with remote control?
If you don't want to have it, then you can reflash your device with stock ICS zip without any mod, root etc. Remember that its 'one-way-ticket'.
Maybe tomorrow I will check xda forum, and will find a thread about 'I used AiO tool, my leg does not bend to the end'.
OK so, the point is that most probably its an ICS issue.
I've got not-US region device, got ICS on it,
and remote control works just fine!
Start with wiping device, then check, then if its not good for you,
then you can still downgrade your device, back to 3.2.1.
(more info about downgrade in AiO thread - FAQ section).

HAHAHAHA lol xD
Thanks for the advice people.
Condi, thanks for taking the time to read and advise - It was your tool I used to root my tablet in the first place so that I could upgrade to ICS.
I think the point of my post may have got lost in translation a little. All I was saying was that before rooting and upgrading, I/R remote was working on my TV and Satellite receiver and after rooting and upgrading, it no longer does.
I just wondered whether the connection was known or obvious. I presume once Sony officially launch ICS in the UK, we will know!
Thx again

[Q] EngelDroid EN1007M

I'd bought this WE a little box from Engel Axil with Android 2.3.
This box is powered by an ARM CORTEX (armv7) processor with 512Mo of RAM and 2Go stockage.
More info HERE.
I'd installed openssh and I can see the return of 'uname -a':
Code:
Linux localhost 2.6.34 V1.3.0-70-gee2481e(20120217.100957) armv7l GNU/Linux
A spanish community seem to have succeed to make a ICS release for it HERE, but they don't say anything about the procedure to install this.
Is there somebody here which will be able to explain me how to upgrade my Engeldroid ?
With 'busybox installer' and ssh terminal, I am able to get root access.
Now I try to set the default home launcher to something else than original spanish launcher....
I'm interested in this too!
The EngelDroid 1007M looks just like what I need, but I don't like that its software is in spanish.

Hello Guys,
I'm living in Spain myself and bought me one of these nifty boxes as well and started to fizzle around with it.
Here are my findings with it so far:
Android:
The box comes standard with Android 2.4.3 (or was it 2.3.4, I'm at work right now and can't remember correctly ) but can be upgraded to a 4.0.3 version that is made by Mygica.es.
The link to download the upgrade is indeed the link you've posted.
To install this upgrade you will need to download the zipfile, rename it to update.img and copy it to a clean SD Card.
Make sure that the Engeldroid is powered off and put the SD Card in the Engeldroid.
Than take something pointy and press and hold the reset button on the back (the smal little hole) and plug in the power connection to boot the Engeldroid in update mode. You can release the reset button when you see the restore-android-logo appearing on the screen.
The droid will now look for the update.img on the SD Card and start updating your box. There will be a random offset message but that is nothing to worry about and does not give any problems with the installation.
The first time after installing this new Android version the unit will take up to 15 minutes to boot it due to installing all settings and default apps from this custom rom.
The normal remote control with the keyboard on the back won't work anymore, but the motion controller will. It is highly advisable to connect a wireless keyboard and/or mouse or combination. Myself, I'm using a Logitech K400 keyboard/touchpad combination which works flawless.
Another option for the Media Center tweakers would be to install Linux with XBMC on this.
It is nowhere comfirmed but that is how I am using my Engeldroid at the moment and it turned my droid box into a proper XBMC media center and Samba file server that shares all my movies from the connected disc on the network as well.
The install procedure is the almost the same as with the other ROMS, download, unpack the zipfile, make sure the file is called update.img, copy to the root of the SD Card, plug it in and reset the droid with the reset button hold.
The link for the specific build of XBMC Linux that is working with our droid I can't post here yet, but search on google for: Pivos XBMC-Linux Beta 100912 and you will find the Pivos forums with the release topic of this ROM.
Don't try the Android ROM from Pivos, it is not compatible with the Engeldroid EN1007M. No worries if you want to try it, it won't blow up our box but just won't install.
If you have any more specific questions, please ask or send me a message or email and I will get in touch with you.
Official update
There is an official update for this device to ICS 4 (site in spanish though)
engeldroid . com
Got to "Nueva ROM Android 4 ICS" --> "ROM Android 4 ICS" (I'd link it but I don't have 10 posts yet )

[Q] Archos 101G9 [ROM] [4.3.1] CyanogenMod 10.2

I am new so I cannot post this in the developper section.
Please repost it there for me.
I have an Archos 101G9 Turbo with 512Mb RAM both on woot dot com a while ago.
Last night, I installed [ROM] [4.3.1] CyanogenMod 10.2
works perfectly; faster than the previous ICS rooted ROM.
GPS seems to work, camera is OK (not nice picture but at least work and with color).
Sound works.
Didn't test the MIC, bluetooth and USB mounting.
I tried the 2013-11-08 build.
The HDMI does not seems to work.
I tried to change the HDCP settings in the settings app, but I still get nothing on my TV and it was working with the ICS rooted ROM.
Did anybody can confirm my finding ?
I think the problem might be that the Archos 80G9 does not use the same HDMI chip as the 101G9; so the driver could be missing from the build.
I say other custom ROM having problems with HDMI, so maybe we could check what they did and it might help.
Will test the MIC, bluetooth and USB mounting (from the mini-usb connector, not the full USB port) today.
I have no 3G stick, so I cannot test the USB port. (and really don't care, except if someone can active it as a full USB port)
bluetooth does not work
MIC works. SD card R & W works.
external USB via NTFS mounter R & W works (superuser root access works)
but bluetooth does not seems to work. It cannot find my Pebble watch and my old ROM was able in the past.
Anybody can test the bluetooth on Archos 101G9 ?
Also I have and 8Gb version, not Hard Drive.
Hello,
same for me 'I am new so I cannot post this in the developer section.'
I have installed the latest 02_12 version with the 101 kernel provided by Quallenauge (thanks)
but I have problems with the display. The boot logo is stretched and the tool bar is on the right side and the Google search bar on the left.
The size on the screen is very small and I cannot add widgets or APPs on the right or left side (~3 cm on both side).
I had the 08_11 version before updating to the 02_12 and there was no problem
(And before 08_11 the original 4.0.28 version was on the tablet).
Can somebody help?
Fixed. After re-downloding of the kernel zimage the flashing was successfully.
