[Q] Android & UART-GPS - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I'm not sure if this is the right sub-forum but I think this one isn't the worst choice.
I have a Radxa Rock Pro-Board running with Android 4.4.2. This board has GPIO-Pins for UART-Communication. I connected an UART-GPS-Device to it and can see incoming NMEA-Data on /dev/ttyS3. The Problem: How to configure Android to listen on GPS-Data on this interface?
I found some threads about GPS-Infrastructure in Android which says something about drivers (do I really need one in Android when it's a UART-one-way-Communication?), configuring the build.prop ("ro.android.gps.provider = ttyS3" which I did without success) and daemons like gpsd or glgps (which isn't included in a new build Android from radxa sources and is it really needed, or is this a can and not must have?).
So my question is, where does Android listen do GPS on default and how to change it to ttyS3?
Thanks in advance

[Q] Is it possible make TRACK ID work AOSP 2.1 007a?

Hi
Tried to install track id.apk i found here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=739929&page=2
on AOSP 2.1 007a
Butt getting forced closed when trying to launch it.
doing:
Go to Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications
Select the TrackID app
Tap on "Clear data"
Tap on "Force stop"
dint work either...
Is it possible? or should i just give up
sorry for bad english.
I imagine like all other manufacturers like HTC , Samung , Motorola etc etc core apps which they designed for a specific user experience are all tied in together with there customised Android Framework, meaning to use such an app you would need all of sony ericssons proprietary files also which obviously defeats the object as you may aswell not bother with having an aosp 2.1 rom also with AOSP you will have no drivers for the X10 Specifically which will mean you will more than likely have errors using hardware unless you fish them out from an SE 2.1 rom
Also on a last note, now i have answered your question, in future remember to ask your questions in the correct forum : x10 Q&A forum
I think you need to install some or all SE APKs to make it work.

You're screenshot is about the permission it uses. Permissions are built in a system, not in an app. Nonetheless it still can depend on an app, but not in the way you mean.
Please post in the proper thread

[Q] What to do now ?

My Atrix is SIM unlocked, rooted, bootloader unlocked and Gingerbread installed.
What to do now ? Just to use it as a smartphone only ?
Jocking. But suggestions appreciated.
- Is it really worth to try an other ROM ?
- Is there a possibility to connect a hard disk via USB port ?
- Is there a dual boot possibility to boot additional an other Linux operating system ?
- Is there any application to remote control my Atrix from my Linux (Ubuntu) laptop as a remote computer with desktop (homescreen etc.) of my Atrix ?
( Attention not talking about remot control of computer from the smartphone)
- How could a store (move) my
text massages (Gingerbread text messages)
emails (k9 mail)
videos (Gingerbread video camera)
fotos (camera zoom FX)
bookmarks, etc ... my profile of Firefox mobile
on my external SD card ?
Hi Folks ! My questions were not jocking, but probably too many of them.
So maybe one only:
Is it worth to try an other ROM when your phone is already unlocked and rooted with the original one ?
Until you've used cyanogenmod everything else is just.....lowbrow. Download the latest stable release of CM7 from the development forums. And you'll never go back to stock again.

Hi Phalanx7621 !
I have heard of cyanogenmod ROMs, but to my knowledge ( http://www.cyanogenmod.com/devices ) there isn't an official one for the Atrix up to now, where everything (fingerprint etc.) is running fine.
Anyway, as I never used a different ROM, I have quite some difficulties to understand what are the benefits for doing like this. For sure there are, otherwise nobody would do. Maybe the ones of you who changed the ROM could share some facts with us the still non changed ones.
Maybe I am wrong, but if I compare this action with my ThinkPads. Should be comparable, as the Atrix is a kind of mini laptop and even running with Linux (Android). Same on my ThinkPads, they are real laptops and running Linux as well (Ubuntu). - Sorry can not compare this with Windows.-
To update the Android version from V 2.2 Froyo to Gingerbread V 2.3 is like an update from Ubuntu 10.04 to 10.10. Usually some improvements, bug fixes and updates. Fine.
To change the ROM. Isn't like to change the distribution on the laptop ? For example to change from Ubuntu 10.04 to Linux Mint 11. Both are on the same basic. More or less the only difference is the look & feel. All applications are the same. And even Ubuntu you can make it look like Mint or vice versa. No really need to change the distribution.
Maybe this is the same with changing the ROM. The look & feel.
But what about
- boot time ? Really different with different ROM ?
- the speed ? Really different with different ROM ? But when ? To open Firefox for example ?
- the used RAM by the operation system ? Any differences ?

There is a quasi-official ROM. Actually, it IS Cyanogenmod 7.1.0 with some fixes to get it running on out Atrix. The fingerprint does not work because only Motorola ROMS have both the kernel drivers and the libraries to make it working. Fortunately, the Atrix Cyanogenmod team is working on this and eventually they will find a way to make it working.
In any case, I find that the stock rom and the stock radio still has the best battery life (in my case, still Froyo). Maybe not the best performances, but I am pretty sure about the battery life.
Update: CM7 Atrix team have the permissions to build their nightly releases on Cyanogenmod build server. I believe that they are getting fully recognized by Cyanogenmod. Therefore, I would say that they are pretty much official.

unknown network state 8A in /proc/net/tcp

Hi everbody...
well, i'm new here... so: my name is banana - had long time my loving nokia n900... was the perfect phone for me - hw-keyboard and FOSS; developing glogarchive and so on...
later switch to android: galaxy nexus, lg g2 - all rooted, ok... but no keyboard...
so now, i got the blackberry keyone. not rootable, but ok, disabling all gapps, f-droid and grab some AOSP apks from lineageos - the keyboard is great!
i'm the developer of net.bananenfisch.connectionlist - there i saw "unknown"(???) connections every time... i figured out, that they starts, when i start the mobile-data-connection.... and stay until reboot...
the proc-fs show the state "8A" for this connections, which are undocumented at the linux-kernel. there are 13 states documented...
Here is a screenshot: bananenfisch.net/code/screenshot_8A.png
android.googlesource.com/kernel/common/+/android-3.18/include/net/tcp_states.h (running kernel 3.18 on keyone)
kernel.org/doc/Documentation/networking/proc_net_tcp.txt
i was not able to find ANYTHING about state "8A"; cannot run wireshark via WLAN, because it's related to mobile-data; cannot tcpdump, because so root on BB...
does anybody have an idea, what this could be?! where can i find a document?!
thank you very much!
banana
PS.: sorry, cannot link directly to the sources/image as i am a new member....
*push*
@ developers... no idea?
BB specific or android 7+?
