hello everyone,
as most of you, I was really bummed out to find out tow of the best games from valve were ported on Android exclusively for Shield.
As the port was done by Nvidia, this seems fair.
I do believe xda can make this happen. NO PIRACY INVOLVED HERE.
Thus these are the steps in order to make it working.
1) using Market Enabler to trick Play store you are using Nvidia Shield.
2) find out whether the apk will just run (doubt so). if not, I believe a program like Chainfire 3D will be needed.
3) reprogramming the gamepad controls to work with the controllers out there, i. e. Moga.
I had a look around and was very surprised that I didn't find a topic about it. if anyone is already working on it, please link the thread.
@Chainfire as a experienced Dev, what do you say? doable or not?
Apk is running, but on non-tegra device valve intro is the only thing you can get.

+1.....here's hoping one of if not a few of our Dev gurus will take on the challenge. Hamdir I'm looking at you :laugh:
so is possible to run it on a Tegra 4 device, like the Nvidia 7" tablet?
someone will have to see whether the apk checks if the device is Shield, and if it isn't, it just stops running. Otherwise something like Chainfire 3D would be needed.
Yes, it's possible.

I modified HL2 apk to install it on non-tegra, generic android 4.1.1 device and finally succeeded, but game craches with FC after Valve and Source logo, shortly after start. From what i saw inside APK, hardware requirement is OpenGL ES 2.0 but Chainfire 3D didn't help, Gltools also didn't help. Any tips what to try next?

Maybe, maybe not. I haven't ever had a Tegra device nor have I looked at the game files. I imagine it could work, but it's just as likely that it'll require some new features from the latest Tegras. Best way to know is to try.
Just use GL TOOLs and select to fake the tegra 4 ... IT WORKS... someone PLEEASE can port this game to 4.1 ??? PLEASE

Please delete all my posts in this thread because members now sending me tons of PMs and you know why.
And thing about this: 90% of this site is based on various patent and intellectual property violations, or if you prefer so - WAREZ... Go visit check any windows mobile device section and see for yourself. Whole TouchFLO, parts of TouchWiz, parts of Sense, modified SRS Wow HD, modified Beats Audio engine, those are all warez in fact modified and distributed by this community! Whole bloody forum was originally made for XDA devices which are based on Microsoft patent violations as far as I can recall. So, better go pick your broom and start deleting everything.
P.S. I modified this apk by my self but I cant buy it because Google Play paid apps are not availlible in my country

Right. And I suppose obtaining warez (stealing in most modern countries it's considered) and re-distributing is A-Ok? Maybe you and a lot of folks think cracking "paid" apps is ok, and hey, let's share the wealth. Whoot!!!! :good:
Unfortunately, it's illegal in most countries, and it's against XDA rules, so it's not tolerated. If you think distributing warez (stolen apps) should be tolerated, then perhaps you may wish to plead your argument to the Admins? Or the folks who spent countless hours developing?
In this case, I don't need a broom. I have a thread closure option. PM is always open.....

Hi,
Would like to know if there is plans on PS Groove development for Xperia x10. I think many people would appreciate this.
Thanks and good work btw on the bootloader so far.
Hey have a look at this link ;-)
PSGroove being ported to Android Devices!
Sony will have it patched before it gets done, so it's going to be quickly irrelevant anyways.
Do you know that for a fact or is it just one of your many assumptions...
Cuz last i heard from the "hacker" team that made the psjailbreak code that not even them are too sure on any of the sides, nobody actually knows.
And cuz the ps3 is open to homebrew, whats the difficulty of patching the update string? I mean they already have made "stalth gaming" possible by editing sertain files...
And the ps3 has a HUGE game library that personally for me just thats enough cuz i almost never play online on it.
I bought a AVR chip with PSGroove support so to speak. I will have it on Monday, but if i knew it would be developed for Android i wouldnt have bought it.
So belive me, not too many ppl care "if" Sony patches it... And even if they do, the exploit cannot be patched, its a lot like the iPhone Jailbreak.
Let the Cat&Mouse game begin...
This project tickles the very core of my geekdom. Not so much because it opens up the PS3 for piracy but but because it's a completely insane yet feasible and even kinda logical concept.
Emulating an 8mhz Atmel on the Snapdragon? Very doable.
Proper hardware access to the USB port? With rooted phone, you have it.
So theoretically it's possible and if it comes to fruition we'll be able to "root" the PS3 by hooking up our cellphones to it and running some software. I don't know about you guys but for me that would be a serious contender for the "Epic hack of the year" award.

PSFreedom was release for N900 :

KaKaRoTo said that the driver can be adapted to the others devices :
KaKaRoTo said:
By writing this exploit as a standard linux driver, this means that my module can be used on any other linux-enabled devices.. this means not only the N900, but also the 770, N800, N810, Android phones and future Meego devices. It might need a little porting for some devices though, but it should still work…

I'm looking at what parts need to be modified and if porting it is even possible to begin with. Both Maemo and Android run Linux kernels but that's about it as far as similarities go. Even though it's a separate kernel module it needs to have certain options built into the kernel. If those bits aren't there we're SOL.
Update: The configuration file for the stock kernel indicates that the USB chipset supports HCD (Host Controller Driver) mode at least.

*meh* Screw donations, the hacking itself is reward enough.
Source code is @ http://github.com/kakaroto/PSFreedom
also taken form the blog
Q: What do I need to use PSFreedom on my N900 ?
A: First, you need a N900 (duh) and a PS3 (duh) with firmware 3.41. The N900 should be running the stock kernel (-omap1) not a modified kernel. Then you just need to scp the files to the N900 and run the -enable script.
Q: How much of the source is Nokia N900 specific? Are you using the Linux USB Gadgets library?
A: Very little is N900 specific, I’m using the include/linux/gadget.h if that’s what you mean. See next Q/A for more info.
Q: How hard is it to port it to a new device ?
A: Well, I’ve just separated my code from the N900 specific stuff, so it’s quite easy, there are mainly two functions to write, one to get and one to set the USB address.. two other functions that only return some static result depending on the configuration of the controller (the name of the endpoints, and whether the controller supports high speed or full speed mode).
Read the README file provided with PSFreedom, and check the psfreedom_machine.c file for specifics on what to implement.
Q: How can I port it to a new device.
A: Well, first, you need to figure out what controller your device uses, in the case of the N900, it’s ‘musb’..
Then go to the driver code for that controller (probably in drivers/usb/gadget) and look for ‘SET_ADDRESS’. In the case of musb, it was in drivers/usb/musb/musb_gadget_ep0.c. In there it was setting the address to the USB device, so just copy that code into the psfreedom_machine.c to allow setting the address, and add a similar function to be able to retreive the address.
Then add a function to return 0 or 1 depending on whether the controller supports HIGH, FULL or LOW speed mode (go to usb_gadget_register_driver for your controller, and in the first lines, it should validate the speed argument, it will tell you which ones are acceptable), set LOW speed mode to return TRUE only if FULL speed isn’t available .
Finally, add a function to return the endpoint names.. it will usually be something like ‘epXin’ and ‘epXout’ (where X is the endpoint number), or “epXin-bulk”, etc.. look at how the driver initializes its endpoints or grep for “->name” in the file to find where it sets it…
That should be enough!
Ok this is it for now with the FAQ. Next time, I’ll tell you all about my experience, what problems I encountered and how I fixed them, maybe it will help others!
Enjoy it!

mean while over @ http://netzke.blogspot.com/
There's doesn't seem to much in development happening I've put my name down for beta testing but who knows if i get in.
Maybe if there's someone working on the netzke team build they could let us know some info.
Time for a quick update on my research.
From what I can find out about the X10 through config-files and /proc it looks like it uses the msm72k driver. By comparing that with the musb driver and looking at how PSFreedom uses musb it doesn't look impossible to get it running with the msm72k driver.
Right now I'm looking at how to get/set the device address and endpoint. Getting the endpoint name is pretty straight-forward but getting the physical address needed is slightly trickier. But I'll keep hammering away on it.
Warning: My attention-span is really short so odds are I'll keep working on this in bursts. So while there's a big chance I'll get it working soonish you shouldn't hold your breath.
Cool hope to see a update when i wake up thanks very much for your time.
I have a confirmed spot in the beta testing for the android port by netzke. I can let everyone know what it's like when it is released to beta testers.

Well I haven't spent 12 hours coding, most of the time has been spent working on circumventing the limitations of the stock kernel and figuring out the hardware.

No, because that would be warez (& against the forum rules)
Notch has said that it will be released on other Android devices soon.
They have stated that the Xperia exclusivity is temporary, so they had to develop it with other devices in mind. I wouldn't be surprised if it already worked, although there may be some simple device security checks that need to be stripped out.

I think one of the reasons they released it exlusively to the xperia play is that it has a game pad. They will have to add a virtual game pad for it to be usable on any other phone and I think they are still probably working on it, unless anyone can confirm they already have a working virtual game pad...

Hi all,
I'm very interested in getting Minecraft Pocket Edition working on other devices.
I think I'm getting close to figuring out how the Xperia Play sends the events to the apps.
However, in order to make my life easier and not search mindlessly through the kernel, it would be extremely helpful if someone who had a rooted Xperia Play would run the command 'cat /proc/bus/input/devices' and post the result here. ('su' before that, of course)
All 'cat' does it read text from the file '/proc/bus/input/devices'. (it won't email me your texts )
In case no one with a rooted Xperia Play sees this, I'll keep wading through the kernel to see if I can find it on my own.
Thanks,
John
Cant wait to have it to work! I purchase a pc licence Hope it will work on pocket edition...
I have a Samsung Fascinate so no sixaxis (wont work) many game have virtual keyboard hopefully it will be quick...
flamesbladeflcl, witch version are you using?
Thank's have a good day
Its best to leave it up to the crackers which is beyond the scope of xda.
The main issue is the controls.
Also there are clones of minecraft out there for all devices.
I have poked around a bit and found a way to enable looking-around in the MCP using touchscreen. It is a quick hack, so you loose the ability to use the touchscreen while navigating the menus.
All I did is replace all the touchscreen events with the touchpad ones. So the game thinks that your touchscreen is a big touchpad.
You can see a video and get a download link here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9pNe3hBlKfg
Seeing as the Touchpad (known as "TP" from this point on) section is my hangout most of the day (I have a desk job...they don't expect me to actually work do they? pfft...) I have noticed a lot of confusion for people just coming over to the TP with Android and I know myself and many others get frustrated answering the same questions over and over again in the same threads, so I thought I'd try to put something together for what I think are the most common questions. Please add to the thread and I will update the OP. I'm hoping maybe this could be something we all could link to newbies so they can better help themselves familiarize themselves.
Please keep in mind that the TP is not a native Android device, meaning it was not designed to operate with Android on it. Being that this is the case, some things just aren't going to work until extensive work is done. We don't have drivers for some things etc. Patience is a virtue, yadda yadda and all that jazz.
If you do not have Android on your TP, here's how to get CM7 on your TP.
Lets do this.
I just installed Android and as soon as it starts up, it reboots! HALP!
It's sokay! Let it reboot a few times by itself. In my experience, it would reboot four times and then be fine. Why's it do it? I dunno...it just does.

Does the Touchpad have GPS?
Short answer: NO. Long answer: Maybe? Some people claim that the Snapdragon APQ8060 CPU that is in the TP has the capability, and it certainly is a possibility as this the same CPU that is in a bunch of high end phones (T-Mobile Galaxy S II, Galaxy S II Skyrocket, HTC Vivid, Galaxy S II LTE, LG Nitro HD, etc). Maybe some day a developer will unlock it if it is a possibility. Currently though, there is no GPS on the TP.

Check to make sure the date and time is set correctly in Settings. This will also affect wireless connectivity.

For starters...Very good initiative..we needed this badly....
I never had problem with Wifi, but read many threads here....i am not sure but for some people changing the channel worked...and in some cases changing the whole router worked too..so I think you might include that....atleast the channel piece,,
Also even CM7 is developed actively...we didn't see any updates from long time becoz they are focused on ICS....(I think)

Thanks! And thank you for putting it in a easy copy and paste format
And I didn't know about the compatibility mode in Spare parts doing that.
You might want to add to make sure Date and Time are set. If lost, Amazon and Market will not update/connect correctly
Had this last night... lost date, went to 1970..

Yup, another good one. Thanks!
Thank you for this OP, I am in the process of familiarizing myself with the latest on these as a good friend has asked I help put Android on his. I have rooted and flashed everything from WinMo phones to Android but have not yet jailbroke my iPad2 and certainly never touched anything WebOS at all.
I noticed there is no reference to Market accessibility which I assumed would be huge, is there a reason for that?

Market accessibility in what way?

I take it Market access is fine for the most part on ROMs, I couldn't imagine people are manually installing files for apps.

Oh yes yes. One thing that works fine is the market. No issues there.
Bravo!!
Great idea and good first start!!! Everyone (not only us noobs) will truly appreciate this. Searching for a nugget in 500+ pages becomes a near impossible task. My only fear is that your FAQ could become almost as unwieldy as the Xron thread. A simple spreadsheet as an attachment in your OP might be helpful. A straight forward listing of known problems with a link to the best answer(s) could probably take care of the vast majority of queries. Expanded narrative for the really complex problems, e.g., wifi issues, could possibly be included in a second spreadsheet or linked back to the appropriate thread for comment. Let me know if I can help.

Is Vizio's CO-Star going to be hackable (rooted) ? I it is a google/android 4.0.x device. I hope so.

I know! I ordered mine today, not shipping until Aug. 14th.
It depends on how "hackable" the GoogleTV version of Android is.
Sent from my Ainol Novo7 Elf using xda premium
Any news on the co-star? A lot of them have been shipped.
Btw, can anyone give me the specs of the power supply? I'm interested mostly in the Voltage input range. Since I'm going to use it in EU I'd like to know if I need another power supply or I can hook it up to a wallplug adapter. Would be great if the input range is 110-240V.
The power supply takes 100-240v ~50-60Hz, max 0.6A
Super duper standard.
That's good news.
I hope that rooting and custom firmware development will start soon for the box.
Anyone able to figure out how to side load apps? Just got mine and noticed it's running firmware version 2.3.1.
Can anyone with one do me a favor? Can you see if you can export the OnLive APK that comes on it and send it to me somehow? I have the Sony GS7 which has the same processor but it doesn't come with OnLive, I was hoping I could sideload it.

I downloaded dropbox from the market then uploaded the apks to dropbox. Also adb should work over wifi, if you want more information on this let me know.

It is available from the market here: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.onlive.client

I searched for any file with on live in the name using esFileExplorer but nothing was found. Maybe its in a protected folder. There is no root for the CoStar yet, so that could be the problem?

Are you sure that uploaded APK is the one for the Vizio CoStar? I believe they have a few versions based on the chipset of the client device. I tried it and it force closes.

I pulled the ge.tt file from my co-star using adb, it was in /data/app I don't know too much as to why the force closes would happen. I have had that happen for a lot of side loaded apps I thought should work also. Did you try rebooting it?
There might be some other files required for it to run, I'm not sure how to find out what they are though.

I'm going to try it again tonight when I get home through a hard boot and see if it works. Word from OnLive is they plan to release the client this winter for all platforms, but I'm impatient =)
Thanks!
Has there been an official forum made for this project yet?
I'd like to track it and this thread seems like it died off.
Any thing?

Has anyone seen any update on this anywhere? I've had the Co-star since launch and have been wanting to root it since release. Honestly I just wish I could put ICS or JB on it and run 'normal' Android apps on it, the app selection is so much better there.

I to would love to see this. I would be willing to make a generous donation for this. I wouls like to be able to download my games and use the Onlive universial wireless controller.
Damn I didn't think the Co-Star would be tougher to crack then all the android phones out there.

The thing that makes me sad is the Co-Star has a bonafide hack out there that's been demoned a few places. It's been out since release, but I have yet to see any updates on how to actually DO IT =(.
I wish someone would document how to hack it so at least others can take up the task of re-roming it if those who hacked it aren't willing.
could it be able to create an emulator for droid to emulate another Droid, like that you are stock and want to know if a rom Nightly is stable or want to test in in some other way, alweays flashing back and forth is not very convinient, I think something like an Emu would be better...
Is there a method, would it need root or is it even able to develop such a thing???

That would require a lot of resource in my opinion. It would be like a Virtual Machine on a computer.

I know but with 2GBRAM Devices Like note 2 where you should check C-Roms, coz of missing driver sources from the manufacturer, it could be able to make, @least if android allows something like that...

It's recommended to have like 6g of ram just to run a Linux VM on windows...I see where your coming from though
Sent from my Zio using xda app-developers app
but well when you free the ram from the Host, in most cases I have 800MB or even less, and CustomRoms like Cyano are also made for Speed and so they wont use that much more ram than the standard...
