Hi guys
As this is a brand new section in xda-developers, we might need to draw the attention of the developers.
In this thread we can centralize all our requests that we have for the developers.
I will start with my requests :
1. Android 2.1
2. Wifi modifications, so the Wifi doesn't disconnect after the phone gets locked
3. change fonts (now words are split in the strangest ways)
4. Live wallpapers (I don't know if this will be possible on such a small screen but it's worth the try)
I hope this will raise interest from some developers.
For me root and kernel with netfilter would be enough. Wifi tether is the only thing i miss atm and it is the only reason the G1 is still not gone.
But PdaNet tethering works, right?
I think the thing we need most is a root, or at least a way of removing Sonys modifications to Android

I've seen people complain that the wifi disconnects when the screen turns off. Is that what you mean? There's actually a setting for that...
Go to Settings > Wireless Controls > Wi-Fi Settings
Press the Menu button
Select Advanced
Select Wi-Fi sleep policy
Voila! Select 'Never', and it'll never sleep. I think. Unless it's bugged, of course! (can't test here, as I've got no wifi)

Hi Spataluk
I indeed meant when the screen turns off and I'm afraid that it's not that it is a software problem. I already found that option and I already selected 'Never'.
So it is bugged and it is a known issue for Android 1.6. Was same problem with the Hero.
But thanks anyway

Yeah just to confirm this does not resolve the wifi turning off - also FixMyWifi crashes so cannot sustain the WIFI during sleep either.
Only option is to disable>re-enable WIFI after device wake-up, otherwise the wifi scanner does not pickup a network.
For me (first foray into Android development) make sipdroid work! It's set in absolute sizes for many things, so not everything shows up on the mini's screen.
Just got done with my build environment, now to get the source, and see what I can do.
root!
Everyone hates these apps that cannot be deleted. Specially the demo-versions, which are useless afterall.
There's apparently root now.
Can anyone confirm it's working with the mini pro?

Exploids method works like a charm.
I just removed the demo games and the manual with the root.
Is it easy for someone to create a *very* basic but functional rom, to get rid of SE's rubbish?
Ah, and a Recovery ROM should be WoW

This is exactly what I came here to say. Netfilter support is about the last thing I need on the phone after having found pretty much everything else I needed. If we get netfilter support, it will be the perfect phone!
I actually got the source code for the netfilter kernel-module for the X10 mini, but I have no idea on how to compile it. If I get it compiled I don't think I would have any problem getting it implemented using insmod via adb, root access and busybox.
Charge from PC
hallo all. Can you help me with some question ?
How can I tern off charge my mini pro when connected to PC .
Thanks for attention.

Maybe you should ask this question in the right part of the forum.
i guess since we now have root the question is can we copy the rom off the phone safely and then edit it so we no longer have all the sony stuff on it and maybe get cm6 on it
right my request is that we find a developer who can crack the bootloader and give us the android 2.2 update becasue SE never will
I'm wondering how i can make my device visible for longer than 120 seconds when i go into bluetooth settings and enable bluetooth and make my device visible i cant see an option for longer than 120 seconds, surely it can be made visible for as long as you want?
anyone?

sorry, i'm also sure that this could be tweaked somewhere (by a dev), but not under stock conditions (there is not user-setting for this)...
therefore, you would need someone to code/change this for you!

markus
I don't think it's possible , this is an Android limitation, but you don't need to make it visible everytime if your device was paired before with the device you want to connect. I paired my SII with my pc and if i want to quickly transfer a file from pc to SII i just activate bluetooth from notification bar and that's all.
Thanks for the response folks, i have to say this is utterly ridiculous, you should be able to make your device visible for as long as you want, surely someone has come up with a solution to this?

actually this is useful information thanks but i still think it's ridiculous that you only get 120 seconds visibility.
CM7 allows you to set it to never so it must be coding needed to do it
Hi everyone...
Some days ago, i was trying, OmniROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2544790). I follow all the steps and even get the superSU app going. One night, y saw how my nightly got updated, and in the morning, start to reboot randomly. If I push the power botton sometimes, doesn´t appear the blockscreen but the screen with the reboot option and turn off appear...
I put my cellphone back to stock with root using SuperOneClick from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1311081. Then, I format my sd card and internal storage...The problem persist...
I would like that someone help me, I'm tryin everything and didn't solve it...
Based on your description, it sounds like a hardware issue -more specifically, a failing power button.
I have read that some users were able to fix the issue by disassembling the phone and spraying out the switch with contact cleaner, and I have read that others had the power switch replaced altogether.
Hopefully others will chime-in with their thoughts.

I had to replace my power button. this is a known issue with the s2.
I recommend this guy's services: http://stores.ebay.com/t989-refurb -- he can do the i777 even though it's not listed. He's a very nice guy and will do a fine job.
here's his video demonstration: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F0xMMn1DRWs
Hello everyone i hope someone can help me. I rooted my Kindle Fire HDX using KFHDX Tool Kit and it was successful. Afterwards i installed SUPERSU by way of the program itself and also disabled OTA. Now my problem happened after disabling OTA my silk browser will not work at all even though the WIFI is connected so i did a factory reset now when i power on my unit it keeps prompting me to choose a language even though i have already chosen one it will just keep going back to that screen. I was able to bypass it by tapping quickly on the screen and i was able to go to contacts and from there i am able to go to settings via the drop down menu. The problem is i cannot access home because when i press back it will just show home for a split second and then go back to the language menu even if i tried all the languages it wont let me use the tablet. Also i remember having paused the update before attempting to root. Now i cannot proceed to use my tablet at all. Can someone help me out with my predicament? I would really appreciate it, Thank you.

Hi derpadoodle. I was also able to fix it by doing another factory reset and redoing superSU and OTA. Was able to install es file explorer via third party website and the Gapps. Almost thought that its already dead just bought it 3 days ago..
Im having another problem sometimes when i turn on my wifi my unit reboots itself.. It has happened a couple of times already.. any solution to this?

Go back to root tool. Enable ota updates. Register tablet. Disable ota. It keeps going to language because it can not contact amazon to set up. This exact thing happened to me. That's how I fixed it

...If you try and start Wifi and the device crashes/reboots, try turning on bluetooth prior to enabling wifi and see if that works...
hope it will work for you :good:

Thanks bro! I also seem to see that when my unit turns on the bluetooth icon appears beside the wifi indicator but when i go to settings > wireless and i check my bluetooth it is turned off LOL. Needed to turn it on and off for the icon to disappear. Anyways did the updates ever solved this problem? not really a biggie for me but it is nice if i can turn off my wifi.
I noticed there weren't many posts on Leelboxes on XDA so I'll provide some quick input for anyone who may search for a review or want to ask questions.
Recently I bought a Q2 on Amazon and finally set it up last night.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N63M03X/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Opening the box/contents
-The box had some wear on it but overall in decent shape
+Comes with power cable, hdmi, remote (no batteries)
-The box had a fairly strong plastic/soldering smell and ins't very appealing visually
Setup
- Plugging in the power starts up the device so I had everything (HDMI, mouse/keyboard) already plugged in/No physical power button
++ Quick boot up and short animation screen
-/+ Decent launcher screen probably depends on preference
-/+ Needed to adjust the screen area down to 90% as it was displaying outside of my viewing area
- Remote sluggish
+ Wireless USB keyboard and mouse are plug and play
- Still haven't figured out how to turn off the on-screen keyboard as the settings menu is device specific
- Playstore and adding Google account FC'd the first time I opened it
Customizing
+++++ Installed SuperSu from Playstore and went through the "normal" non-recovery install process successfully!
+ Installed Leanback Launcher/Google TV v1.14 (newer versions FC) APK from APK mirror and home launcher switcher
++ Kodi and addons preinstalled and setup
-Google Now launcher has icon text issues (words are cut off)
+Installed hidden settings
Performance
+ 5ghz wifi running well
- Some UI lag/stuttering
- App install a little slower than hoped
- Device comes with a memory cleaner button on the provided launcher. Once mem usage hits 80%, stuttering gets annoying. Installed memory cleaner and still evaluating.
+ Video very smooth in Kodi and Youtube
More to come but hope this helps.
How is the leelbox Q2 running? Have you tried miracast with a Windows10 laptop? Looking for a device to primarily do this.

Still running well. Mainly use it for Kodi and YT. I found an older version of Nexus Player launcher that works (except suggestions) and looks better than stock.
One complaint I do have, I couldn't get any emulators to recognize USB gamepads. If you want to do any of that, I'd stay away.
I haven't tried Miracast at all but I will if you're still interested. Let me know.
Hey there... I have a question for you. How's the video playback on your box?? I really this box, especially since it has Bluetooth and there is hardly any lag, however, I have had bad luck with it from the get-go. My video playback is horrible! The screen flickers and goes really dark when the scene is shot at night or it's indoors. Sometimes my tv goes black and if it weren't for the captioning, you'd think it's just off. Then the image perks up when the scene is outside or a really bright shot. It really does a number on my eyes as it's a constant thing. I did reach out to their customer service and they have been responsive and sent over instructions to try and fix this, but that hasn't worked. I even got the box replaced, but the issue persists. I'm thinking maybe it's a setting at this point. Would you happen to know if there is a fix to this or is there anything you would suggest? Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Kodi seems a bit darker so I have an display setting on my TV that I toggle to vibrant and its much better. HBO Go feels the same. Other than those though, Youtube and Netflix are fine.
Any chance your HDMI cable is bad?
if it's bricked but usb burning tool recognize it but it's stuck at 2% with Romcode/Initialize DDR/Read initialize status/USB Control setup error, do someone know how to unbrick it?

I haven't tried flashing a new rom for this device yet so I may not be the best to help you. But from what I've read, the USB burning tool is your best bet. From experience, it may be a good idea to try flashing with another computer. Also, re-download the imgs.

Hello! Sorry for the late reply, but I have changed HDMI cables twice and changed ports on the TV. Also, I have used an older TV I have with this box and it just doesn't work. The video just bounces from light to dark when on Netflix or streaming any other type of video including YouTube. I have attempted to play with any settings on the box but nothing changes. Kinda bummed, oh well right?

I read something in another thread where the person created a new ROM for devices LIKE ours. I believe some have used it but can't say if it works. Seems your issue is common:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/search/thread/3513805?query=dark
Hi,
In product description it said this is dual wifi enabled (2.4 and 5Ghz) box. So I installed internet wifi router with 2.4 and 5GHz possibility, and Q2 Pro box pick up just 2.4Ghz signal.
Then I turned off manually 2.4GHz possibility in router and Q2 Pro box didn't see any wifi network, while my LCD and PS4 was connected on 5GHz without problem.
So, my question is, how to enable receiving 5Ghz wifi signal on Q2 Pro box?
Thank you
I've been having some trouble rooting the Q2 Mini Leelbox, wondering is that a different model than the Q2? i am also having an issue changing the default home launcher on my box, it seems like the Zonglauncher that is installed on it wants to be the only proprietary launcher option an because i cant gain root, I can't run effin system app deletion.
I figured kingroot would do it, but it has not been of any help so far. Shoot I've googled Root Leelbox Q2 mini and pretty much theres nothing out there. must not be a very popular box. now that i noticed it is rockchip, i'm a little disappointed with it, might even return it, but it does have 2G/8G for only 43 Dollars on amazon.
did anyone install recovery twrp and Magisk?

It must be a different version. If I recall correctly, I didn't have to install anything to get root. I just ran a root checker and confirmed I was good to go.
I also was able to install any launcher I wanted. But in the end, their launcher was good enough for the apps I use (Kodi, Netflix, HBO Go, Youtube).

No. I don't think there is a TWRP version for this device.
I ended up shipping it back for a refund. Really was quite a pos if I ever did see one. Made me pretty angry tbh, it was a rockchip anyways I mean it did have 2g/8g but certainly performed worse than some 1g/8gs ice bought in the past.
i have the mini
*works fine ..no lag or stuttering
*only problem is weak wifi with no 5ghz support
#im looking for info regarding using a d'link wifi dongle with it to boost wifi
to everyone this box is prerooted
install any app and if it requests root it will be given root automatically without even a toast message
you can enter recovery and factory reset or flash updates or even flash update zips by inserting a needle / pin / toothpick into the headphone jack amd pushing down at which point you will feel the button click...keep the button in then pull out the power cord and put it back in and it will boot to recovery ...you can rename supersu as update.zip amd flash it from sd card to replace root or get root management apk installed ..you can also install supersu apk directly from playstore
you can enable developer settings by usual means by pressing on version number in settings/about
i am looking into solving wifi problem first ...then i will try to flash custom images
my first workaround is to boot Ubuntu from sd card and install opemelec or omc or similar
*reason is amazon prime video fails playback in both apk or browser
*netflix is working fine through apk
*kodi is running smoothly
by installing linux through sd card i will try to get better wifi by wifi dongle and then by getting playback working for amazon video ..if i succeed i will create a thread and a post a link and proceed from there ..i think we might be able to port or flash some other custom firmware too ...i will try it after Ubuntu....
