How to use Wiimote and probably other Bluetooth devices in Cyanogenmod v4.2.4+

Hey Everyone,
I know there probably wont be much interest in this but I thought I should post my results. This is instructions on how I got my wiimote and accessories to work with my Dream. It should be possible to setup Bluetooth keyboards that use UINPUT too.
1. I emailed cyanogen and asked him to enable UINPUT in the kernel and he was Awesome and did this for me. Thanks Cyanogen!!
2. I added the following line to my bootdeb script to make UINPUT show up in chroot debian. I would appreciate any input on how appropriate this mount is. Im a linux noob. The second line is to reference where I stuck it.
mount -o bind /dev $mnt/dev <-- I added this line
mount -t devpts devpts $mnt/dev/pts <--above this line present in bootdeb
3. I installed wminput with
apt-get install wminput
4. I configured buttons. The config files are in /etc/cwiid/wminput/. Nano was very glitched out for me but it got the job done.
cd /etc/cwiid/wminput/
nano buttons
The info in these 3 links should allow any button to be mapped.

http://abstrakraft.org/cwiid/browser/trunk/doc/wminput.list
http://www.kandroid.org/android_pdk/keymaps_keyboard_input.html
5. Run wminput and drop debian to the background.
wminput -d -c buttons
Press 1 and 2 on the wiimote
Press the home button to drop debian to the background and your done
I did this mainly to play nes on the train in a comfortable fassion. And it turns out there is a bit of a lag now and again which causes the buttons to stick while it catches up. Just for a moment but enough to throw Megaman/Mario off a cliff! If anyone else tries this, Im very curious if you have this same issue. I tried setting the priority higher with nice but it didnt help. Does that work in a chroot environment? Does anyone have any thoughts on how I could remove lag? I dont think its being cause by excessive cpu usage since it happens just at the prompt when pressing buttons quickly.
Thanks for any input,
Tous

Awesome, now we just need to overclock to about 3 Ghz without the phone exploding, and we can emulate Wii games!

[SOLVED] Mount a smb/cifs share

Thank you in advance if you can help with this, unfortunately I'm not going to be able to follow through with this very well at the moment. If this gets no attention I'll bump it when I can follow through.
I want to mount a smb/cifs share from my router to my Nexus 5.
I can successfully mount the share and view it in terminal but none of it shows up in any apps...and that's pretty much my issue.
Here's some unimportant info, and a little info about me, I'm as scatterbrained as they come. The reason I want to do this is to stream my movies on the "NAS" to my Chromecast through Allcast or something.
As of now I'm using an entware mini dlna package on the router to stream everything to Avia. My problem is dlna broadcasts all my media to my entire network...no password required or anything. Also accessing my files through Avia is a pain in the ass, navigating through the folders repetitively gets exhausting.
Here's what I've come up with so far:
I'm using hammerhead-faux123-010m kernel, and SlimRC3.
CIFS DebugData:
Code:
CIFS Version 1.78
Features: posix xattr
Active VFS Requests: 0
Servers:
1) Name: 192.168.1.1 Domain: WORKGROUP Uses: 1 OS: Unix
NOS: Samba 3.0.37 Capability: 0x80e3fd
SMB session status: 1 TCP status: 1
Local Users To Server: 1 SecMode: 0x3 Req On Wire: 0
Shares:
1) \\192.168.1.1\NAS Mounts: 1 Type: NTFS DevInfo: 0x0 Attributes: 0xf
PathComponentMax: 255 Status: 0x1 type: 0
MIDs:
The disk is actually Ext3, not NTFS.
This guy kinda just crushed all my hopes and dreams of the future but I'm trying to use his OneClickMount alpha app.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49651026&postcount=127
app here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49693815&postcount=129
This is what I have tried, I ended up with the same results:
Code:
[email protected]:/storage/emulated/0/cifs # setenforce Permissive
[email protected]:/storage/emulated/0/cifs # getenforce
Permissive
[email protected]:/storage/emulated/0/cifs # mount -r -o noperm,rw,file_mode=777,dir_mode=777,uid=1023,gid=1023,unc=\\\\192.168.1.1\\NAS,username=***,password=*** -t cifs none /storage/emulated/0/cifs
[email protected]:/storage/emulated/0/cifs # ls
My Music
My Pictures
My Videos
Torrents
Then I tried OneClick Mount app:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/muabb9vp1i8ubxt/o78FSYMcHo
From what I can tell from the app logcat, the app tries to move the debuggered file, create its own with a chosen command inside, start then stop it, and restart the original.
I might try to do this manually later, as in a month from now at the least. I'm pretty sure a certain someone is pissed off at me for not becoming one with the universe n all that jazz.

I'm gonna leave a couple links here so I can delve into them later, they seem to have crazy amounts of useful information:
[HINT] How Stickmount (and others...) are working with Android 4.2
Debuggered script
Sincerely, Head is spinning

Sorry but as of android 4.4.2 CIFS at a device level (all accounts see the network shares) no longer works and no one has a solution. This includes rooted devices and custom Roms. Of course apps such as ES File Explorer can have network share accesses but not all apps can utilize that access. For example MX player can be invoked from an ES file folder by clicking on a video file but apps like PowerAmp cannot see those folders. Some apps include built in network share features but they have the same restrictions as I previously described.
Things all changed when Android included multiple accounts and security started to get tighter. Initially developers found ways around those measures but too my knowledge, with 4.4.2 no one has found a work around.

One workaround is hijack a system process such as debuggerd (debugger daemon) which runs with higher than su permissions. This method still works but is awkward to exploit manually. Apps such as foldermount use this workaround but not for network mounting, but it shows that it is still possible.

I have a Raspberry Pi running OpenELEC for streaming my locally stored media. I use my Chromecast for streaming Netflix, Google Play media, etc.
I understand what you are trying to do, but a dedicated device works great for me.
That said, you might keep an eye on VLC to see if they start supporting casting to Chromecast. That would likely accomplish what you are asking.

This is what I'm going to attempt next, from what I read it can be terribly inconsistent if not done through SSH, so that's a bummer. I just need to get more information on how to do it. Debuggered in general confuses me.

This is what I've been wanting to do with my old Galaxy Nexus. I have the HDMI adapter and everything but the screen is broke (the digitizer works), so I plug it into my TV and randomly hit the screen hoping to eventually connect my bluetooth mouse lol. No such luck. I wish I could just boot it into a custom build but that's never gonna happen. Unless OpenELEC works on android devices? Seems unlikely.

debuggerd can be replaced with a shell script with the mount command in it and it will run at boot.
It's really messy. I found I had to put the original debuggerd back or the phone would lock up.

WEEEEEOOOOOOO I finally got all my stuff to show in a file manager, now I just need to find a terminal command to trigger media scan on the folder. Right after I eat a bunch of chicken.
Awesome, it works perfectly. And by perfectly I mean it's the messiest thing I've ever done on Android. I'm not really sure how this affects battery and all but thank god this finally works.

For anyone interested:
Follow the directions in this post.
I didn't understand the mount command he used so I used
Code:
/system/xbin/busybox mount -r -o noperm,rw,file_mode=777,dir_mode=777,uid=1023,gid=1023,unc=\\\\192.168.1.1\\NAS,username=***,password=*** -t cifs none /data/media/0/cifs
You also need to use /data/media/0/ otherwise it will only work in already opened apps apparently.
So thanks rootSU...And that should work, I'm going to do it in a way where I don't have to use scriptmanager but that's the gist. All the credit goes to the people in the threads I linked, I have absolutely no idea what I did here and I learned nothing.
Nothing special to see here. :good:

Here's a way to unmount it so it doesn't explode your apps when you disconnect WiFi:
/system/bin/debuggerd.binnn
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
/system/bin/umount_movies.sh
exec /system/bin/debuggerd.bin "[email protected]"
/system/bin/umount_movies.sh
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
/system/xbin/busybox umount /data/media/0/cifs
/system/xbin/busybox umount -r -o noperm,rw,file_mode=777,dir_mode=777,uid=1023,gid=1023,unc=\\\\192.168.1.1\\NAS,username=***,password=*** -t cifs none /data/media/0/cifs
Script_eject.sh
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
mount -o rw,remount /system
sleep1
/system/xbin/busybox mv /system/bin/debuggerd /system/bin/debuggerd.binn
sleep 1
/system/xbin/busybox mv /system/bin/debuggerd.binnn /system/bin/debuggerd
sleep 1
mypid=$(/system/xbin/busybox ps -o pid,comm | /system/xbin/busybox grep 'debuggerd' | /system/xbin/busybox awk 'NR == 1 {print $1}')
/system/bin/kill $mypid
sleep 1
/system/xbin/busybox mv /system/bin/debuggerd /system/bin/debuggerd.binnn
sleep 1
/system/xbin/busybox mv /system/bin/debuggerd.binn /system/bin/debuggerd
sleep 1
mount -o ro,remount /system
I'm automating all this with Tasker.
Script task: (I have it run at boot)
waits 15 seconds
run shell command to kill debuggerd
wait 5 seconds
media action scan card /
Script_eject task: (I have it run when I disconnect from my SSID)
run shell command with the script_eject.sh code
wait 6 seconds
media scan card /
It has been seamless so far, also lol.

I have yet to try your solution but what Rom and kernel do you have installed? I ask because in the past (Android 4.1) you needed a custom kernel that supported CIFS or you needed to add modules to stock.
I'm using rooted stock, Franco Kernel.

I'm on the latest Slim, with latest faux kernel. Faux has cifs modules built in, I'm not sure about Slim or Franco kernel. If you have a cifs folder in /proc/fs I assume that means the kernel has the cifs modules.

[Q] To the DEVs of Cromi-X, Crombi-KK and / or Browser2Ram

Hello,
I'm new here, therefor I think I'm not allowed to post in the developer's threads...
I just wanted to say that there is a problem with the browser2ram script and opera:
Opera performs very bad on my TF700 (using cromi-x), and when I look for tmpfs I cannot see something mounted for opera:
Code:
[email protected]:/ # cat /proc/mounts | grep tmpfs
tmpfs /dev tmpfs rw,nosuid,relatime,mode=755 0 0
tmpfs /storage tmpfs rw,relatime,mode=050,gid=1028 0 0

tmpfs /Removable tmpfs rw,relatime,mode=755,gid=1000 0 0
In the script it says:
Code:
[email protected]:/ # cat /system/etc/init.d/70B2R
...
datadir=/data/data/$BROWSER/cache
...
but when you look at
Code:
[email protected]:/ # ls /data/data | grep opera
com.opera.browser
[email protected]:/ # ls /data/data/com.opera.browser/
lib
[email protected]:/ # ls /data/data/com.opera.browser/lib/
libch.so
liblzma.so
libom.so
there obviously doesn't exist any file or folder named "cache", so I think they changed something or the browser2ram script never worked for opera?
Would be glad if this could be fixed.
btw: I never ever get such smooth "ipad-like" scrolling with any kitkat rom, just with jellybean based roms and stock or chrome browser. Is that normal?
(pls no info about the differences between android and ipad rendering while scrolling, I know about that, just wanted to know if everybody has similar issues with scrolling smoothness kitkat vs jellybean)

I will look into it - opera must have changed where their cache goes.
BTW try ZOMBi-X for smooth like scrolling on KK
EDIT There are 4 versions of opera - which one should I be installing?

I did so, am on Zombi-X now, so it took me a while to answer. If you change gallery from aosp to asus, gallery cannot be started btw
Nonetheless you're right, everything is snappy and smooth now (though stock browser still is not as smooth as when running cromi-x, but chrome runs better now)
Thx so far
Just to describe, what behaviour I mean when saying "smooth": In ios everything stops rendering while scrolling (easy to test with animated gifs: no animation while scrolling). Therefor scrolling is always smooth as technically an unanimated image is scrolled.
In Android, when I use stock browser ("real" stock or alternate with smoother scrolling) and browser2ram on cromi-x, the scrolling is almost as smooth as on ios: there is still rendering but when I slowly move my finger over the screen from bottom to top, the page content stays exactly under my finger.
With any kitkat based rom the scrolling is smooth while I do it QUICK (results in very fast scrolling and smooth slowing down) but when I slowly move my finger over the screen (as I think most users do while reading articles, forum threads and so on) there is always some disturbing stuttering and the content does not stay exactly under the finger. (still talking about stock browser, chrome is nice scrolling now)
I hope this was a clear description as I am German and my English is not that good...

shows it caching nicely.

Huh? Okay, then something went wrong in my case. As you can see from my code pastings, there has not been any "cache" folder for me.
Since I was running cromi-x and now am using your newest build zombi-x ( ... outstanding by the way!) and I cannot obtain root (terminal doesn't start and super su doesn't work yet) I cannot see if everything is okay with opera's cache now.
But I think so as you tell me so
So thx for watching

Thank you. Super Su seems to work now, while apps which need super user rights still seem to have problems. At last in my case (better to say that a little more explicit since the browser cache problem ... hehe)
For example Terminal still does force close immediately and AdAway obtains super user rights but closes about 1 minute later.
But I know everything is beta and I am very impressed by your new ROM, so please feel free to do all the more important stuff first
I am very happy that people like you find the time to build these roms, as this is what still makes me prefer my tf700 (even my old tf101) over my ipad 3 though all the trouble with ASUS support.

I installed the zip file and rebooted. Then I started AdAway (for the first time) just because I know it would ask me to obtain super user rights (to test if super su ist working now). It started and about 1 minute later there was a system popup, telling me AdAway force closed. Now I rebooted and AdAway says it is working fine. (about 5 minutes now since reboot).
I cannot check if it really does as I run my own dns-server with dns manipulations very similar to those used by AdAway, but I think it is running okay since it says it could successfully update the hosts file.

@sbdags in the hope you will read it here as I am not allowed to post in the right section yet:
So... now that I wrote so many different possibilities, I finally have found what irritates me when I try to use the omni switch bar:
1. Open some app with the app launcher menu of omni switch bar which you did not open before (not in your recent apps list), let's say Google Maps.
2. Now that Google Maps is in your recent apps list (the omni switch bar) long press it and make it a floating window.
3. Now for some reason use the home button to look at your homescreen.
4. Now reopen omni switch bar, you want to go back to your Google Maps: Google maps item will be disappered.
5. Reopen Google Maps by using the app launcher menu in omni switch bar again: your floating window of Google Maps still exists and will reappear.
6. For some reason you switch a while between several floating windows you have and then you are in the app launcher menu and decide to press Google Maps button from there to switch back to your existing instance of that app (just because you see it there next to your finger while looking for some other app and you were able to let it reappear this way before) : Now a new instance in full view opens, instead of the existing one. The existing instance does not (accessible) exist any longer.
This way my original post here got more and more confusing as I switched alot the way described above and therefor every few minutes had different "stages" of my forum editor content here (due to several instnces of chrome) and didn't understand what was going on.
So for me it would be highly more usable if:
1. apps won't disappear from the recent apps list after pressing the home button (they should stay accessible all the time as long as they are recent...)
2. there would be all the time in any case used the same instances of apps, not new ones.
Might be I just didn't really understand the benefits of the floating apps feature, but these 2 points would make it much more intuitive for me to use it.

android and rsync = perpetual re-copying

I've been using rsync to keep my iTunes Music folder on my mac sync'ed to the Music folder on my sdcard. As long as I only sync in one direction and carefully choose my rsync options it works pretty well. But if I make changes on my phone and try to sync them back to my mac, it gets messy. Every time I switch direction rsync thinks it needs to sync a bunch of stuff even though the files are all already identical.
I think the culprit is some combination of: 1) the vfat filesystem, which has an incompatible permissions and ownership model, and 2) the mount options, which include a umask that prevents rsync from replicating permissions from my mac, maybe including mtime?
I tried for awhile to switch my sdcard to ext4, but can't get it working. Then I tried to run a mount -o remount to change the umask, but that didn't seem to work. I'm stuck.

Old thread, but the answer is still valid: The problem here is that vfat stores time with a 2-second resolution only. rsync will detect files as changed even though they didn't change at all.
Use the "--modify-window=1" cmdline switch to ignore difference in time up to one second.
From the rsync manpage:
--modify-window
When comparing two timestamps, rsync treats the timestamps as being equal if they differ by no more than the modify-window value. This is normally 0 (for an exact match), but you may find it useful to set this to a larger value in some situations. In particular, when transferring to or from an MS Windows FAT filesystem (which represents times with a 2-second resolution), --modify-window=1 is useful (allowing times to differ by up to 1 second).

Trickster Mod Kernel Settings

You might have noticed we have a spanish rom that popped up in the android development section. I've been browsing through it as best I can and one of the things I noticed is they are using trickster mod kernel settings available on xda here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1768315 to control some settings in their kernel...so I tried the same things and it seemed to both speed up performance AND lower temperature as that's one of the settings you can enable. In any case it looks like the spanish rom lowers the minimum cpu speed from 960 to 800 and sets it to enable on boot. The min speed gets set back to 960 at odd times..not sure why yet. They set the readahead cache on the sd to 1024 up from the default 512 I set the scheduler to "deadline" since it provides a performance boost when using flashed based media. Those are all under "General Settings". Under "Specific Settings" enabled "Temperature Throttle" which will lower cpu speed when the cpu starts getting hot....the phone runs much cooler and yet I still don't see the lag I was seeing before. Give it a try..all these options are available in the free version.

hmm ill give it a try no issues?

No issues other than the phone resets the min speed to 960 instead of 800 even though I've got it set on boot. I also set the speed. io scheduler etc using rom toolbox (pro) without issue which is what I'm using now cause I tweaked a few other things. Both worked fine. We can't really get into any of the "fancy" settings till we get a kernel compiled that allows it.

Hmm i see until alcatel releases their source thats when a proper kernel can be compiled right? And yes it overheats and feels really hot when im charging and using an app lets say youtube

The trickster mod also has a section for temperature control. It works pretty well. Yes when they release the source we can compiler own kernel.

I tried it works thanks!

You might have noticed we have a spanish rom that popped up in the android development section. I've been browsing through it as best I can and one of the things I noticed is they are using trickster mod kernel settings available on xda here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1768315 to control some settings in their kernel...so I tried the same things and it seemed to both speed up performance AND lower temperature as that's one of the settings you can enable. In any case it looks like the spanish rom lowers the minimum cpu speed from 960 to 800 and sets it to enable on boot. The min speed gets set back to 960 at odd times..not sure why yet. They set the readahead cache on the sd to 1024 up from the default 512 I set the scheduler to "deadline" since it provides a performance boost when using flashed based media. Those are all under "General Settings". Under "Specific Settings" enabled "Temperature Throttle" which will lower cpu speed when the cpu starts getting hot....the phone runs much cooler and yet I still don't see the lag I was seeing before. Give it a try..all these options are available in the free version.

Clock speeds get reset because of mpdecison which is the stock Qualcomm daemon.

So using Rom toolbox and setting up profiles for instance to lower cpu speed when phone is hotter than 100F are going to be useless?
I found this in a google search......
The easiest way to avoid the restart of the mpdecision service is to rename the mpdecision binary. You can use the following steps to do so from a shell on your computer:
// To disable MP decision
$ adb root [ for us adb shell and then su ]
$ adb remount [for us "mount -o remount,rw /system"]
$ adb shell stop mpdecision [for us just "stop mpdecision"]
$ adb shell mv /system/bin/mpdecision /system/bin/mpdecision-rm <---- *problem* There is no "mpdecision" in /system/bin
// To re-enable MP decision
$ adb root [ for us adb shell and then su ]
$ adb remount [for us "mount -o remount,rw /system"]
$ adb shell mv /system/bin/mpdecision-rm /system/bin/mpdecision <--- *same problem*
$ adb shell start mpdecision [ for us "start mpdecision"]
The start and stop mpdecision commands work but no idea where the binaries are or even whether disabling mpdecision so I can do cpu profiles is a good idea.

Well we need to have something like intelliplug or some modded mpdecision - pretty much a custom kernel

Anyone getting random infrequent reboots? 3 times for me today. I've started backing off on some of the recommended settings. I'm currently down to just using the 1024 read ahead buffer and CPU governor as ondemand. I'll report back if I get any more reboots.

My idol is fine with no reboots; but for those values/variables I have the defaults: 512 readahead cache (I think is the most optimized) and interactive as governor. Interactive Is newer than ondeman - you should feel less "lag/jerkiness" when you switch from one app to another with interactive. Interactive came along with the whole project butter initiative.

Can we use this with stock-rooted rom?

Yes, somewhat.

In rom toolbox it does benchmarking for the readahead and with my sd card 4096 was the best read/write performance. Interactive is the default governor. In the end I ditched the app because the stock kernel resets the cpu settings. The io scheduler I use is deadline which is supposed to give superior performance when dealing with flash based media....which all our media is. It's also the default for lollipop I think.

There are a few interesting things in /etc/init.qcom.post_boot.sh, regarding CPU profiles among others. I'll take a look later today and let you know if I find anything worth looking into. You can also just put the mpdecision stop command in there.
