Playing movies on rooted Devices!
original post by : ogdobber
you can rent the movie with a rooted device...you just can't watch it (but you can with this trick)
open terminal on phone
Code:
su
mount -o rw,remount /system
mv /system/bin/su /system/bin/mu
close terminal and you will be able to watch rented movies on your rooted device
to revert open terminal
Code:
mu
mount -o rw,remount /system
mv /system/bin/mu /system/bin/su
google movie looks for su by name, easy work around because naming it to mu you still have suid, but rooted apps (as well as google movie) are looking for su "name" as well..with the terminal you can tell it suid is mu
gsript doesn't work on this because it too looks for su on the revert
you can copy the code to a notepad and paste it in terminal so you don't have to type every time

This is the only page on here.. where is the other link at for that?

and for everybody that dont know if you dont want to do the above mentioned code you can rent with market and then just watch it in your browser whether your rooted or not..

Yes Rohan ! I tried Gurmikhi font from the link given by you, but still script is rendered as blocks. I had read online that there's some compatibility issue with ROMS other than stock with regional fonts. Should I try on stock ROM ?

Eventally another font of a theme is used. Try to make a your own theme that only has your font files in it.

Try it on Stock ROM

On Stock ROM, it works..
Try the Gurmukhi thing TWICE>

Try this, download the Arial Unicode font from this link and replace it as DroidSansFallback.ttf,
http://elfadwaps.com/arial-unicode-...ts-most-of-the-asian-and-indic-languages.html
I think it should support punjabi font also. If it does not work replace original file.

{DEV}[APP] Touchpads Fixer Application

Hello there Xperia PLAY forum!
So, after an entire week of work, I can release my first android application here:
it is an utility to enable touchpads on any rom that is supported (if you want me to support your rom, please post here) .
Description:
It is composed by 2 main apps (or code-talking by 2 main Activities):
A build.prop fixer
A flashable.zip extractor
The build.prop fixer basically modifies some of your build.prop values to match these values, in order to have a proper recognition of the device by games or apps.
The flashable.zip extractor extracts into your sdcard (into a path specified by the app itself) a flashable.zip which contains the fixed framework.jar and the Touchpads Activator app by farenheith for the rom you choose.​
Sources
Here​
APKs
Here​​
So here we are! If you find any bug just let me know.

Changes into v1.0.1:
updated a wrong string that I forgot to update lol
added credits to krisdee as well

Lol just saw a broken boolean: gonna fix this

Changes into v1.0.2:

This app is meant to be used on Cyanogenmod (9 and 10) based roms, it won't fix touchpads on Gb :/
But there's a n64 emulator that allows u to use touchpads, i think it is called Mupen, unless you're using cm7

Well it's quite simple, but you can't use adb since adb executable isn't available on android, but still, you can use busybox instead;
the way I use to execute a cmd via, for example, a press of a button, is to define a Process and a Runtime.
Then you can obtain su permissions (in the OnClick method) by using the Process you defined, like this:
Code:
Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("su" );
Then I use a DataOutputStream to exec other cmds (like mv or cp...)
Example to mount /system (where "//" starts comments:
Code:
[COLOR="Lime"]//Defining a DataOutputStream[/COLOR]
DataOutputStream os = new DataOutputStream(process.getOutputStream());
[COLOR="Lime"]//Using the defined DataOutputStream (os) to exec the command[/COLOR]
os.writeBytes("mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock0 /system\n" );
I'm busy these days, but ask me if you need anything (I'm not a java developer though lol)

Hiya I hope that you are still around, I am still interested in the xperia play especialy as it looks like kitkat will come out for it any time soon. I am having trouble with the touchpads on my xperia play
I have a Jellybean rom, called SONYCM10 FINAL perfect in every way BUT a major issue that i was not expecting.
Touchpad Activator which is included in the build fails to work when pressing the (activate just for this app) button, it came back with
Error 1: android.view.ViewRoot, the touchpads failed to work in anything
I then installed your touchpad fixer, i have clicked the framework and buildprop buttons and restarted into recovery mode (lupus jb v13) and installed from zip file the framework (I gather that this is how you flash it?). When i restart the phone and test the touchpads there is still no recognition AND when i go back into your fixer app it still says text in red that i have still not fixed my buildprop. I also coppied the framework manually into my system folder and overwrote the original with the new one just incase the installer was not working.
What am I missing? am I not flashing it properly or what? Again I did not flash but just installed from recoverymode the framework zip...
The only thing I can think of that I have not tried is to extract your buildprop somehow and manually overwrite the one in my system directory?
Any Help would be most welcome...

Do you mean the TextView in apps??
Try it out, I'm not sure.
Or after getting the output, just format it as you need if you don't see breaks.
You can also implement TextView as HTML formatted code.

Then you have two choices.
1. Use this and convert all spaces/tabs to new lines or breaks.
Code:
busybox
Or
2. Do this:
Code:
busybox --list > /data/applets.txt
Then read the file using some Buffered Input Readers and display it on the TextView
