ok well im good with computers in general and i would have no problem rooting my hero. my first question is what are the main pros/cons? i dont have 2 reasons yet to root, the only one iv heard of is to see the paid apps in market, but i wouldnt be able to buy them right? (i am in canada).
second, i dont know when we will get 1.6, or even if we will.. but im hoping it has the newest flash. I would love to be able to watch streaming video from the interent (like full movies, tv shows etc(besides youtube)) and right now only smotri works slightly, and i could really use z share videos! and since we dont have flash yet, im hoping there is some way to stream to the hero from my computer!
i have tried tversity.. i can get video playing at about 3 frames a second but audio works fine.
i have tried watching videos off my comp through remote desktop (i knew it wasnt gunna work but i haad to try)
SO my question is, is there any way to tream to the hero!?
*all of this IS over wifi
thanks in advance!
So i finally recieved a allshare cast dongle. However no matter what i do it displays nothing on my tv (or a monitor i tried it with). I'm guessing its DOA, but i just wanted to hear if anyone have any tricks before i send it back...
*Update* Got a replacement. Works great, much better than the HTC media link HD. Fairly smooth without being perfect. Seems the picture is compressed quite a bit though. Running JB leak btw.
Allshare cast dongle don't work with custom roms I hope that, they fix it as soon as posible.

I know, which is why i went back to stock... But thats not the issue. I can connect and all, but nothing gets displayed... Not even the "welcome" screen seen in video previews...
Updated OP
Hmm... At home it works like crap... I suspect due to 2.4ghz congestion... However it should run on 5ghz, but there seems to be nowhere to check that :
Also the audio plays through the phone speaker... (Might be a JB problem though)
im getting the wireless allshare cast dongle here shortly....and i just wanted to know. will it work with all android phones? My note, Skyrocket, S3....and future use with my Note 2 ?
i dont think i will buy one if i can not use it down the line or with my other phones.
Just got my Xperia tablet Z yesterday. Loving it so far.
I was wondering what I can throw my videos to (their DLNA sharing feature).
I have my computer, Playstation 3, and Xbox 360 hooked up to my TV.
I would think that the PS3 would be the most likely device, since it can stream videos from a computer. How do you set that up?
Thanks
*bump*
Just to follow up, this feature works but isn't that great, in my experience.
You can turn on 'media server' in the Xperia settings. The device showed up on my ps3 and computer, but in both cases I got an error when actually trying to play a video. I'm sure I could fiddle with it to get the files to play, but I don't think I'd use it anyway.
What I was hoping for is, I could watch a video on the bus on the way home, and if I don't finish it, I wanted to effortlessly finish off the video on the bigger screen. I don't think it really works that way though.
I throw to my WD TV Live. Works perfectly with music, doesn't at all with video (but I don't mind, I mean, it's a WD TV Live so I don't need a smartphone for that )
I just picked up my XTZ today finally. Was trying to throw from my Xperia Z to the tablet but can't get either to see the other device is available :-\

The trow feature in my opinion is fantastic, but extremely temperamental.
I throw video to my Xbox 360 constantly, bearing in mind that my videos have to be coded a certain way with handbrake in order for them to show.
That's even before it recognizes the device. Every time, it takes me 10minutes just to get the tablet to see the Xbox is switched on. It requires multiple reboots of both the Xbox and the Tablet, It seems it must be done a 'certain' way in order for the tablet to recognize the Xbox.
Let's the feature down big style.
The most important thing to bear in mind when using DLNA is that the DLNA-server decode the video.
The DLNA-client shows it.
If your device can't play MKV with DTS, then it won't work.
The best thing you can do is to install PS3 Media Server on your computer with MPlayer.
Then use your computer as file-server which can make all your devices play all file-types.
I use it on my KDL-46V5500, PS3 and XTZ.

I'm not sure 100% but I think that I have read that since last june update Throw doesn't work on XZ, must be verified as I don't use this feature for now.
Yeah, this feature isn't really useful unless it's dead simple (for video anyway).
If it takes 5 minutes to get it going, you might as well just copy the video over with a USB stick.

Yeah no worries. Wish throw worked to a PS3. Have to use the media server feature of the tablet/phone instead. Would have thought I could throw media to the tablet too but guess not.

Throw works pretty well for me actually. I can throw to my TV directly. (Samsung 55ES8000), as well as a Sony Google TV device. It's actually kind of convenient, and always begins working within just a moment for video, and audio. So I guess as goes with everything; Your mileage may vary.
I'm new and I don't mean to be a bother.

Hi. The reason I'm replying to your comment it's because I have a question that it's related to what you were expecting from the throw feat, but I don't know if this is the right place to ask or where to start this thread. But anyway... here it goes.
I just got an Xperia z1 and its the first time I heard about the throw feature and it got me thinking... I know this is still a little far fetched but hey, great products have to start somewhere. So, what would be needed to make something like throw but more powerful? almost like the software that Tony stark uses in the Iron man movies where you could actually "throw" an image with a gesture on your smartphone to your TV or xbox without the need of syncing or asking for permissions. Now, I know this just causes a lot of trouble because of the matter of privacy and security (you know, you wouldn't want strangers sending porn to your tv while your kids watch cartoons), not to mention that there's the matter of choosing the actual device that you want to send the file to among all the other devices, and this means that there would be need of a lot of new protocols and a lot of work but you have to start somewhere, right? I'm sorry if I'm being naive, I know developing something like this would take years and a team of experts but I'm willing to work hard and do a lot of research. I just need someone to pint me in the right direction :laugh:
I apologize in advance if I'm just wasting everybody's time. I'm just a begginer developer that just started an engineering career in computer systems. Also I've been playing a lot of Watch dogs lately and the idea of accesing everything from your smartphone is just so fricking mesmerizing
I can't seem to find any info here (or anywhere else, really) for this device made by Chinese manufacturer JXD. Here is a link: http://www.jxd.hk/game-console/s192/
It runs the nVidia Kepler chipset. This means, in theory, I should be able to wipe this device and flash the nVidia Shield Tablet K1 stock ROM on it. I can't seem to find any information on how to do it, though. Looks like there is very little information about this particular manufacturer in general. I was wondering if anyone here has any information about this device they can share with me?
Thanks.
Hi, was just able to root mine using kingoroot (pc version) moments ago.
https://www.kingoapp.com/root-tutorials/how-to-root-android-4.4.htm
GL! Hope someone would make a marshmallow rom for this great device..
Kingoroot installs some apps with it on your pc and device so just uninstall them too.
Hello
at the moment there is nothing that's a shame for a jxd device does not upgrade a marshmallow
The device is great to play but this way it only uses for retro games
P.S I HOPE THAT SOMEONE VERY GOOD WE CAN HELP
BUT I BELIEVE THAT NO MAYBE it ABLE TO UPDATE THE JXD SINGULARITY
good day
Can you guys give a review of this device?
I'd like to know how the controls feel (compared to an xbox gamepad)
Additionally, I'd like to know how it works with PS4 remote play apk and moonlight (for PC streaming)
As for how to for flashing..etc I could definitely work on that as I'm looking to buy one but I'd like to know more about the device since there are ZERO reviews out there for this.
The controls are well built and it is really comfortable to hold. I had this for 4months and loved it. Unfortunately one of the joystick broke and had to return it. Return process was dodgy but luckily I got my money back. Now I have the GPD XD. User experience wise I liked the JXD S192 more.. Though mine broke, I'd still pick the JXD S192 over the GPD XD if given the chance. The screen was awesome for any gaming.. I'd honestly say they hit the sweet spot design wise.
***********WARNING FLASH/INSTALL @ YOUR OWN RISK!!!!!!*************
I do not take any responsibility if anything were to go wrong in the process of installing any apps to your device!!!!!!
Hey Guys
So I recently brought the JXD S192k of GearBest and the first thought that came to mind was how i was going to root it just like all my other android devices, little did I know just how difficult it was gonna be to find any information regarding the root process.
All searches regarding this device and obtaining root were fruitless, it didn't matter what I searched under there's just isn't anything out there!
Frustrated I turned to Kingoroot only to find myself more frustrated as i needed to reroot everytime i restarted the device, each time taking longer than the last and keeping this thing ON was not an option.
Then.........I happened to stumble across something that changed everything, looking through the official JXD digital site I saw that they had a Firmware available for the previous version the S192 and in amongst the files was a Root apk. So I thought to myself there isn't much of a difference between the 2 devices so I downloaded it from the Mega site and transferred it to my device.
Once it installed it was just like the Chinese version of Kingoroot and even through everything was in Chinese you could pity much make out what you needed to press. The process it didn't take long and with the 2 root checker apps installed I confirmed that I indeed rooted my device so I went ahead and installed BusyBox to the system.
The best thing about this process is not having to worry about losing root upon restarting, there's one thing that I should mention is NOT to install any sort of SuperSu apks or zip files as you'll get a error message stating the SU binary is occupied. Just use the INBUILT supersu that comes with the Root apk and you should be fine.
Here's some screen shots taken from my system to show that it does work, along with my system details taken from Device info apk.
Hopefully someone out there in the XDA community can expand on what I've stumbled across in the hopes that one day we'll be able to get a custom recovery for our machines.
I have owned the sinigularity for about 4-5 years and I think its an awesome bit of gear for what it is. The controls work fine and feel good in the hand and I've used it with remotr linked to my PC and and found it did work fine for games that didn't require split second reflex timing but there was a little lag. Over all it worked great and you can run your PC remotely from other rooms in your house (if you wanted too).
The 10,000 mah battery is the real deal and has plenty of playtime.
I use it a lot for playing movies and link it to a projector via the HDMI output. The screen is a great size and I don't know how they didn't become more popular.
I only found this thread because I was looking for firmware upgrades but as you all know there doesn't seem to be any. Either way I'm still using it but it would be nice if they had support.
Hey everyone, Picked up a Logitech Revue (with google TV)
This supposedly cost the company an arm and a leg and flopped, it was discontinued I think in 2012 or 2013..
Anyway ran across one at the junk store for $1 so I picked it up.
I tested it out everything seemed fine, I was running it offline.. tested some music, movies.. no problem.
Side loaded some apps but pretty much everything crashes.. My collection of APK's are drawn from ARM/MIPS
This device runs a Intel Atom so no surprise there.. anyway It had the original owners info on it so after testing I decided to start fresh.. BIG MISTAKE.
I factory reset but when it came back up it demanded to go thru setup.. no way to avoid that I can see.
First it wants net.. well ok, then it wants google login.. errr.. well ok.. then we get to step 7.. acceptance of Logitech license.
We get a error.. I know it's got net access so im assuming logitech has shuffled some things on their end and the device can no longer get a valid response.. since you can't skip setup there is no way to continue and im left with a brick
I searched google but found very little about the device.
Any information, advice, help would be appreciated.
I really just wanted to be able to surf the web, stream music/movies from local network, and maybe find some compatible emulators for games, I think this would have worked just fine for that.
Well no responses yet, but im not surprised, given the obscurity of the device and issue.
I did recieve a response back from Logitech support, Basicly, they admit it's a problem, there is no fix, since support ended for the device you're just S.O.L
So as a warning if you have a Logitech revue and it's working.. DO NOT EVER RESET IT.
"Please note that we can no longer complete the setup for this product once it is reset. No further update is in place for Logitech Revue as this product has been discontinued already. Admittedly, there's no fix available to get around this."
Hopefully someone where can come up with some idea's.. otherwise Im stumped.. can't find much on the net about it.. no modiffied firmwares or anything
I am stuck on step #7 too...
What I can tell you is that it is failing on a call to discovery.logitech.com... That appears to be an IIS / .NET webservices server, it's up and running which makes me think that the endpoint that the logitech server uses has been nuked or some backend db has been shutdown which sends back an error. Can't really tell what the exact URL is as the request is HTTPS, so it doesn't show up on the http proxy.
A port scan shows the following open ports:
Open TCP Port: 5222 jabber-client
Open TCP Port: 5223
Open TCP Port: 9551
Open TCP Port: 9552
Open TCP Port: 45399
None of the ports respond to adb, however 45399 does respond with a http 400 (bad request).
Maybe if we had someone with root who could dump the firmware we could figure out something else to try... :\
Bump?
I really wish I saw this before resetting my revue. It worked great for what I needed. Now it's a paperweight.

Cheers.

Mine stopped booting so I thought a reset would correct the issue. It boots up now, but I'm also stuck. Boo for planned obsolescence!
Yes, I too having the same issue, my google account got locked, so i was getting error like retry.... then i thought to change the email account after reset, but unfortunately it is not able to change even the email account and not able to pass through step 7 of 11. as you said this box is just like a paper weight, so, I bought a Raspberry PI 4 with 2GB device and installed LineAge 16 OS (Android 9) on it and now I am enjoying LIVE TV as well all internet TV like Hotstar / Netflix and YouTube...
