I've found a way to access Accounts Sync and Keyboard installation.
first, Accounts Sync :
- you must install LauncherPro even if you do not use it.
- On the desktop, add a new shortcut, select "Activities".
- Under "Account Settings and Sync" select "com.android.settings.ManageAccountsSettings.
Well, now you have a shortcut on the desktop to access the sync settings.
Keyboard installation :
After installing your alternative keyboard, copy the APK from /data/app/ to /system/app/
I create a simple script (in Gscript) that mount the file system as read/write , copy the APK, and enable the "SmartKeyboardPro" keyboard (after reboot).
code :
Code:
su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /system
cp /data/app/net.cdeguet.smartkeyboardpro-1.apk /system/app/
**optional**
reboot
**optional**
I was playing with Angry birds and after a reboot the application was corrupted in some way, the icon dissapeared and I had to reinstall, but the configuration was saved.
In anycase I used Angry Birds backup to backup it and after Andexplorer to copy the backup from the internal SD to the external one, to my surprise, the internal one was not present on Andexplorer (but I was able to go trought /mnt/sdcard).
Now I can see it again but there are a lot of files DiskCacheIndexxxxx.tmp, any clues?

Yeah, thank you for this tweak
Orientation has some problems..
getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getRotation()
should return 0, when Orientation is setted to Landscape...
but it returns Surface.ROTATION_90.
(I'm using 0.4a version)
Davide
This is intended behaviour. It fixes the sensor issues for many applications, as developers didn't prepare their apps for devices with natural orientation set to landscape.
Is this causing any problems for you?
Thank you for your reply.
I'm developing an android game that uses accelerometer to evaluate gravity force's vector. I would like to write portable code (to work on both phones and tablets), so the right code to evaluate gravity (ignoring other forces) should be:
screenRotation = getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getRotation();
[...]
float x;
float y;
float z;
if (screenRotation == Surface.ROTATION_0) // Default portrait
{
x = event.values[0];
y = event.values[1];
} else if (screenRotation == Surface.ROTATION_90) // Default landscape
{
x = -event.values[1];
y = event.values[0];
} else if (screenRotation == Surface.ROTATION_180)
{
x = -event.values[0];
y = -event.values[1];
} else// (screenRotation == Surface.ROTATION_270)
{
x = event.values[1];
y = -event.values[0];
}
z = event.values[2];
gravity.x = -x;
gravity.y = -y;
gravity.z = -z;
This should be the right way to ensure portability.. (it's similar to the Nvidia 'Android Accelerometer Whitepaper''s way),
but it's not working with this patch on Folio (y results in reverse, and rotation sensibility is weird)..
So, to ensure compatibility to games coded only for portrait-native oriented (and, in the same time, ensure correctness to the right written codes), it is not enough to return Surface.ROTATION_90 on landscape orientation, but it should emulate it reversing the values returned by onSensorChanged(SensorEvent event).
In other words,
(EMULATED)event.values[0] = (ORIGINAL)event.values[1]
(EMULATED)event.values[1] = -(ORIGINAL)event.values[0]
The patch should do that. Could you verify that on FolioMod? Maybe something got broken when this was ported to tnt.
Also the Nvidia whitepaper states the following for rotating the values:
90°
x = -v[1]
y = -v[0]
180°
x = -v[0]
y = v[1]
270°
x = v[1]
y = v[0]
Also, please check if you are using the newer API for listning to events (the one that uses SensorEventListener) The legacy Api handles rotations by itself, so you should not handle this in your code.
Yes, I'm using SensorEventListener.

This is the canonicalToScreen transform for rotating values,
for screen coordinates, increasing y is down (so I'm using world transform).
Sure that the returned value are (for every rotation angle) these:
(EMULATED)event.values[0] = (ORIGINAL)event.values[1]
(EMULATED)event.values[1] = -(ORIGINAL)event.values[0]
?
To understand if it's a my mistake, I've downloaded a free app from the market, JumpyBall 3D Lite, and I noticed that also in this game tilt behaviour is reversed in one direction (could someone test it on the FolioMod?)..
I've checked the code, and yes in the last version for the fix the accelerometer values are rotated in the correct way:
Code:
switch ( sensor.getType() ) {
// ...
case Sensor.TYPE_ACCELEROMETER: {
if ( legacy == false ) {
valuesOut[0] = valuesIn[1];
valuesOut[1] = -valuesIn[0];
}
break;
}
}
However there was an issue with the first release of the fix, as my portrait testgame was using legacy API, and therefore values were somewhat broken.
Maybe only the first version of the patch is in TNT?
By the way, the code that was modified for the fix has been posted in the kernel and tweaks thread. You should be able to verify that TNT has the correct version of the fix or be able to create a patch for TNT. (Do not try to flash the update, it will most certainly break your framework.jar)
Edit:
JumpyBall 3D is working as expected on FolioMod, therefore i think TNT only has the first revision of the patch included.
Ok, thank you!!
Problems
Thanks for a great ROM...
I have a few problems.. Hope someone can help:
Some applications like NFS:Shift and Grooveshark can't access the internet..
Contacts gives a FC..
I can't seem to sync contacts and calendar from my exchange sync.. I can choose to do so, by entering the sync & accounts through pro launcher, but I can't enable sync, so only email works..
I think that was it for now...
Hope someone can help
***Update***
I got contact and calendar sync to work by installing the contacts application from FolioMod and the Calendar app from The TnT Lite mod from Viewsonic...
BUG REPORTING:
This program was initially ineteded to generate a unique IMEI based on your device S/N and update Dev's install zip files... it has become so much more, and as such there are many functions involved in this process.
Due to the complexity the program has taken on... far beyond what I initially intended... to report bugs please try to use the following as a template:
Function attempting: i.e. Updating ROM... In Place Upgrade... Update framework saved on computer... etc.
Error Messages: any error message you receive... or the last message you saw prior to the issue.
End result: i.e. TelephonyManager updated, ROM not... TelephonyManager updated framework.jar not... etc....
Environment: ROM in same folder as !IMEIme.exe... ROM on same drive as IMEIme.exe... ROM on different drive... etc. (same for framework if updating framework instead)
!IMEIme.ini settings: you can put your entire ini file if you'd like.
If you could take notes of EXACTLY what buttons you click on which prompt it would be EXTREMELY helpful...
As I said, this program has taken on functions I initially had not imagined including... the more features added, the more complex testing and tracking bugs becomes... I don't want to include a bunch of messages just for the sake of letting you know where in the code you are... would not be beneficial to you... more buttons to click for no reason, etc.
The more detailed you can be, the quicker I can see what is happening... otherwise I have to try to duplicate what I think you are doing when you get the error.
Everyone should click "Thanks" on bug report posts... they have been instrumental in getting the program where it is so far.

Adverse effects after running
First off, thanks for a wonderful application! Your app did in fact correctly give my Kindle a IDEI number, but it seems to have adverse effects.
Function attempting: Tried both in place Rom and update device and now attempting to use app with sound
Error Messages: Unfortunately DSP Manager has stopped (repeatably on any app)
End result: No sound and music apps crash. Some apps work but many do not. (I can provide logcat if needed)
Environment: Kindle Fire running cm9 using Hashcodes 3.0 Kernal latest (11) update.

Although I have tried multiple settings and configurations. I am sort of a noob so sorry if this is a silly problem.
Having looked into this... I can tell you there's nothing that the IMEI Generator does that would cause the issues you are seeing. I would recommend flashing a non-IMEI'd ROM for testing... then either do in place IMEI generation or running the IMEI Generator against the same ROM you flash.
For what you are doing... there are 2 files that are being modified, and neither should cause FC issues...
/sysem/build.prop for the manufacture, device, and build fingerprint
/system/framework/framework.jar is being extracted and edited to patch the IMEI in the GetDeviceID() function in android/telephony/TelephonyManager.smali and recompiled.
Clearing cache and dalvik cache may be something to try.
Thanks! Clearing both caches AFTER the install made it work great. I had been clearing all of the memory beforehand but it did not work. My apps now work great!
Motorola Razr GSM (SPDREM_U_01.6.7.2-180_SPU-19-TA-11.6_SIGNEuropeAustraliaEMEA_USASPDRICSRTGB_HWp2b_Service1FF) ICS.
I deodexed framework.jar because application seems to not work on odex files (as stock is), anyway new deodexed framework have not /com/android/internal/telephony/gsm/GSMPhone.smali file?! (or dir!!) infact !IMEIme 2.2.0.2 tell me about this issue (no GSMPhone.smali found). framework patched do not present diffecence between original one. exactly the same. no /android/telephony/TelephonyManager.smali mod applied.
I tryied to patch framework by "update device" + adb usb, with no device connected i choosed my framework.jar in my pc.

stock framework.odex, jar and my deodexed framework attached.
Yes... due to another user trying to use the generator on a device with a framework.odex file instead of framework.jar I am looking into the most effective method of handling that situation. As of now... the generator will not work for you to patch imei functionality into the framework on these devices.
i deodexed also framework.jar but no way to patch it, GSMPhone.smali is missing totally even in backsmalied odex too!!!!
I decided to apply the patch manually, but without this file and TelephonyManager.smali not regoular i was thinking about hard mod by motorola?! do you know something about?
Pls man, give me an hand, show me the way, backsmali it you too http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1634550&d=1357865096
I'm looking into the method to implement the imei into this.
do you mean into TelephonyManager.smali? I'm looking on it too. Seems so strange this framework...
Actually... looking through to find the best call to implement the patch into... TelephonyManager was the original method... but there may be better places to patch it.
Code:
invoke-direct {p0}, Landroid/telephony/TelephonyManager;->getSubscriberInfo()Lcom/android/internal/telephony/IPhoneSubInfo;
move-result-object v2
invoke-interface {v2}, Lcom/android/internal/telephony/IPhoneSubInfo;->getDeviceId()Ljava/lang/String;
All does make sense now:
http://grepcode.com/file/repository...nternal/telephony/IPhoneSubInfo.java?av=f#174
BUT, where is com.android.internal.telephony.iphonesubinfo!?!?! seems not present... all "internal" dir is missing here, backsmali fault or my fault?!
hiiii
hi,
any news of this? =)
This is the best software for this!
I'm working on the best solution... I understand the desire for this... but I want to ensure the method I choose is the best overall... and to ensure I can properly detect which method to implement during the operation.
If you could zip your entire /system/framework folder and add your /system/build.prop file it would help me test some things I've been putting together for odexed systems.

Before I start looking into this... note that the IMEI generator does not support de-odexing odexed systems yet... I would suggest using it on the ROM then flashing it to the device and let the device odex it again.
Greetings, i have an nextbook - model in the back says netx8p12 and i tried to flash in several roms but all have the same problem. the image
dont fufill all the display.
The display is 8inch, in the website of the manufacter is 800x600 resolution so i downloaded the Oma_Odys_Loox_JB_4.1.1_v1.2.2a and flashed
with RKAndroid 1.29, all the files included except the kernel of the kernel_308_neo_x8_odys that belong to the next8p12.
I think i did ok but the problem is that image is like this images i uploaded
can anyone help me on this? like i´m really dumb person?
Big big thanks

I plan on rooting this thing. As soon as I get that sorted out I may post more.
Also we're dealing with a M805MC (Amlogic 8726-M3) chip instead of RockChip RK2918.
I have attached images of both chips.
The mfg is Shenzhen Yifang Digital Technology Co., Ltd. and the build location is Guangdong, China. I'm under 10 posts so that's why no links but I can produce them upon request.
Ok this is sort of important so I will try to get the link in here.
Drum roll please....
Source code:
openlinux.amlogic.com/wiki/index.php/Arm/Platform_Info/Information_for_8726M/Build_system_for_8726M_Howto
If a moderator would like to make that link hot, be my guest .
I also purchased one of these tablets on Black Friday. It was on sale for 80.00 at Big Lots....Unfortunately its missing Google Apps, so rooting it would be nice...Although I really have absolutely no idea what I am doing, I did get ADB working and was able to reboot the device into some type of stock recovery, so with that in mind, please let me know if there is anything I can do to help...
Also either the HDMI port is shot after using it for just a few minutes or I have a bad cable...It was nice while it worked though.
Not having Google Apps is a bummer, but using info I found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1895040 I was able to get Gmail, Google Voice, Google Drive, Google Music, and Google + working. I also tried installing Google Talk, but ended up doing a factory reset because after I installed it...all the other Google Apps I had installed started crashing and I wanted to just start from scratch.

I know I already clicked thanks but seriously, thanks again man. I don't think I personally have the skillset to root this thing so I humbly tip my hat to whomever gets it done. I do know that shutdown then vol up + plug usb in puts it in jtag mode . Shows as 'M3-CHIP' in devmgmt.msc (M3 being the CPU revision)

I also purchased one of these tablets on Black Friday. It was on sale for 80.00 at Big Lots....Unfortunately its missing Google Apps, so rooting it would be nice...Although I really have absolutely no idea what I am doing, I did get ADB working and was able to reboot the device into some type of stock recovery, so with that in mind, please let me know if there is anything I can do to help...
Also either the HDMI port is shot after using it for just a few minutes or I have a bad cable...It was nice while it worked though.
Not having Google Apps is a bummer, but using info I found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1895040 I was able to get Gmail, Google Voice, Google Drive, Google Music, and Google + working. I also tried installing Google Talk, but ended up doing a factory reset because after I installed it...all the other Google Apps I had installed started crashing and I wanted to just start from scratch.

I purchased 3 of these on Black Friday and have been unable to root them because of the aml8726-m34 chip. How did you get ADB working? What driver did you use? How did you get into recovery? I didn't think these tablets had any recovery interface.
I'm glad to hear that you did have some luck installing some of the google apps. Thanks for posting!

I got in with the generic Google USB driver pesonally. You won't have root access though. Typing su from shell just gives a message about su not being found in the bin folder. Recovery is vol up + power or you can get there by putting a 3rd party zip on the sd card and then to to the upgrade app. It won't work because it's stock recovery. Oh, and for recovery to even see a .zip file it has to be on an external sd card.

[Update]
I've created a thread here to get people's attention as most people (like I was at first) are confusing this for the Next8SE or other Nextbooks. Hopefully the issue having it's own address will help make the information gathering process quicker.

Thanks for the tips! I'll try to get a rom dump tonight!
Anytime. I've shot Yifang/Nextbook an email asking for their source code. Hopefully they will comply as firmware does have software covered under GPL.
Also I brought up Netflix. Several Nextbook devices have a firmware update to address the issue. I'm assuming whatever the bug was, it was migrated inadverently to this device's code. Can I get some confirmation from other users that this is a shared issue? Thanks.
Finally, I noticed there is a Nextbook w/ Google Play so I also inquired about Gapps/Play being included in a future update. I will relay whatever information I recieve.

I also pretty sure I used the generic Google USB driver. With the tablet turned on and usb debugging enabled I plugged it into the computer and then I updated the driver in device manager and then ADB worked...using the command "adb reboot recovery" got me into recovery...
Also, worth noting I guess, if my memory is correct...I think Windows 7 searched the internet and automatically installed some type of ACER driver. The Acer driver may have also worked, but I got rid of it and went with the generic Google driver(since it obviously wasn't an Acer device)...
Also, I noticed that the OP was able to flash a rom using the RKAndroid update tool, which is used for flashing firmware to a Rockchip based Android tablet. Are we able to confirm what chip the original posters device is running? I ask because it seems, like mascondante pointed out, that the next8p12 has shipped with different chips over time? The black Friday ones running the armlogic M3-chip and the earlier ones being a Rockchip RK2918?

All Nextbook 8 Premium SE roms I've found online were for the RK2918 chip using the RKAndroid tool... it might be possible to modify the Rockchip driver to recognize the AML8726-M3 chip, and maybe even flash one of the available roms, but it almost certainly wouldn't boot.
I wonder if the Bin4ry tool from this thread will work on these? It looks like it should work on anything with ADB working.

I tried that tool and it didn't work, although it seemed to recognize the device...But I don't think I tried it while the device was actually turned on and booted(I'm not 100 percent sure), rather I think I tried it when I the device was in what i believe was jtag mode...I'll try again later.
EDIT: Crap...I tried while booted and having adb working...No dice...

I tried it using option 1 and ended up with a boot loop after the first splash screen. Was able to boot to recovery and do a factory reset.
Tried it with option 2 and it went through the process with several errors and booted ok, but did not achieve root.
I've also tried using recovery to install signed update packages with superuser and busy box, or even just gapps, but it refuses everything, indicating that signatures can not be verified successfully.
I'm currently trying to find a way to get read/write access in ADB or ADB shell, as this seems to be the big issue.
I agree, it also looks like ADB is the prevalent obstacle here. I'd like to at the very least get Android Market and all the crapware off this thing. I told someone this would be a great buy for a christmas present at BigLots as I was under the impression, after reading up on the RK29 devices, that they were rootable and I could get a custom rom onto it for them. I don't want to be the bearer of bad news!

I don't think there is anything we can do with these without an official update.zip from Nextbook.
I'm not talented enough to 'crack this nut' solo but I will keep looking across the web for a potential solution. I've been under the weather; Sorry for not staying mode on top of this.
I'm guessing the jtag mode is the key here. I'll keep looking.

I got this response from Nextbook today concerning the Netflix update:
Thank you for the email. Please note, we're experiencing Technical difficulty with the
Next8P12 models that have an Android OS system level of 4.0.4. The Netflix Update
was issued for the Android OS systems with 4.0.3 models. Therefore, the configuration
of the update is unable to be recognized by the 4.0.4 OS units. However, we have
contacted Netflix to provide to us a patch for this model. We appreciate your understanding,
patience and apologize for the inconvenience.
When that update becomes available, it will likely be packaged as an update.zip (Like the existing one), which can be modified to give us root access.

Sorry for my english)
Help me, please, install android on my device HTC Touch Cruise (Polaris 100)
WM 6.1 OS official, Radio 1.65.38.14, ROM version 3.13.411.0 RUS, protocol version 25.111.40.09H
POLA100 MFG, SPL-2.20.OliNex, CPLD-2
Was the replacement of the display and touchscreen
I did everything according to the instructions
sourceforge.net/apps/trac/androidhtc/wiki/HowToInstallWithAtoolsHaret
With Atool download the latest zImage 2.6.32, similarly downloaded initrd.lzma
Then place them, as well as startup.txt and androidinstall.tgz andboot folder on the memory card
Contents of the file startup.txt:
Code:
set RAMSIZE 0x08000000
set MTYPE 1723
set KERNEL zImage
Set initrd initrd.lzma
set cmdline "board-htcpolaris.panel_type = 3 pm.sleep_mode = 1 mddi.width = 240 mddi.height = 320 lcd.density = 120 no_console_suspend board-htcpolaris-battery.battery_capacity = 1350 clock-7x00.mddi = 0xa51 ppp.nostart = 1 hw3d.version = 0 "
boot
board-htcpolaris.panel_type = 3, because other parameters did not work: 1 - wrong color palette, 2 - get black / white zebra
If you take the zImage 2.6.25, then for any issues panel_type screen "broken TV"
Run Haret, phone reboots, vibrates twice, shows a penguin, start running log lines on the screen and stops at:
Code:
adb_bind_config
TSC2003
fake_vsync_int
_
Loader must reach the request by pressing the center button to enter the setup menu, but they do not
Maybe someone faced with such a case, what could be the problem?
Who has any ideas?
Thank you in advance for your help!
Thank you!
Hello everyone, tried to make dolphin work. They will have been stuck in two steps.
Q 1):Dolphin asks OpenGL and Switch does not support OpenGL (at the moment)
A: Go to the Graphics section, and we change OpenGL, for Vulkan.
2):Enter the game and now work. and you'll see joycons don't work.
Q: What do we do now? How do we operate the joycons?
A: You can try to configure the buttons, but the analogs do not work, at least for what I have been testing on my switch, but I have found a solution, temporary until it is solved. Octopus. It's an APK, I was mapping and it really worked.
But you will see the screen as the controls move. LOL
Octopus.

OCTOPUS RECOMMENDS YOU TO INSTALL THIS ADDON
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chaozhuo.gameassistant.plugin
Surely you will be wondering. So this works for all games? At the moment I have tried several games, and they have worked for me. but some ask you PLAY GOOGLE. AND THAT IS PAID.
Edit:Joystick already works, you have to install a fix.
Fix Joycon
Installation example Youtube
Thanks to 4KZelda for the patch and gavin_darkglider for building it.
Fix at bottom of post doesnt work
I just tried the patch at the bottom called joycon fix.. It doesnt work, everything is the same as before. All joycon buttons work but thumbsticks still do not

My guess is Joycons will continue to have issues until we get proper drivers written for them. Currently android sees them as digital pads instead of analogs sticks and this makes a big difference. Hopefully someone will be able to write/port proper drivers for us.
If anyone is struggling with performance even you tried adjusting the perf profile, I use weihuoya's Dolphin build on github and an .ini template designed for Nvidia Shield.

Save as <GameID>.ini and copy to /storage/emulated/0/dolphin-mmj/GameSettings

Hope this helps!

Hey @SamuraiDojo You can try flash my joycon fix(They are based on those of GTA, but with the switch style. this could solve it temporarily)

Official ran a bit slow, tested only with Luigi's Mansion USA.
Joycon joystick fix!!!
for anyone that can configure the joysticks on dolphin but cant use them in game, go to the twrp menu, then mount, and in the corner it'll say something about read only, uncheck that, mount everything, and then reflash, it will then work ingame
dunno what im doing wrong but i only acheive 91% tops on wind waker on the starting island.
