This is a dev version of MagicCode
wiki
--------------------------------------------------------
Q :What is MagicCode?
A: MagicCode is a software designed by "c0demag1c dev team"to make it possible to run a arm based nativec apk on a mips device.It change the .so in the apk to the mips mode directllllly so that users can run a arm-apk easily. Up to now,we have tried to run a lot of apps and both of them is working well now.
---------------------------------------------------------
Q:Who designed the MagicCode?
Af course.Us,the DEV team"c0demag1c"
---------------------------------------------------------
Q:Using the MagicCode,can all of the arm based app working?
A:No,just as I said,it's still a dev version and there are still work we need to do to fix the MagicCode.So u can only run a few apks which they don't work before on ur mips device.Don't reply us about xxx apk can't work with MagicCode.We'll try to fix it but we can't promise it will be perfect.
----------------------------------------------------------
Q:How can i install the magicCode?
A:It's quite simple,we test our apk on Ainol Novo7 Basic and Knight with 3.2HoneyComb and 4.01 ICS Custom Rom.So,if u have the same device(or other device running the android 3.2 rom),u can install the apk as the other apk such as FaceBook,Twitter. And then,what u need to do is just open the apk and then trun on it,waiting for a few minutes and emjoy urself!.
----------------------------------------------------------
Q: U want to join us?
A: we have receive a few message like this,but to be honest it's just not the right time for more people join our dev team now,quite sorry but thx for understanding.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Q:Hi,shall v paid to u if v want to install this apk into our custom/offical rom?
A:never mind,u can use it freely.MC is an software for free,we have our own donation providet.

U can run it on some other MIPS platform, but there are some Android patches required in order to make it work.
U can send a PM with your e-mail if you are interested.
v1.51 released!
After a long time,we decided to release our newer 1.51 version of the magiccode.
Warning:
If u want to use this version of magiccode,u must use the update.zip in the following website to update your device at first,or it will not work..
#more armv6 app support,such as the famous game"Where's My Water?".
#increase the suitable rate of armv6 app from 50% to 65%(Ingentic‘s Date)
#we will try to work out the armv7 suitable problems in the following days,It need us to rebuild the framework of the magiccode,so maybe a few days is needed,just wait for our good news.
v1.42released!
We just get some ics source from Ingenic,it is quite good for us to finish better MC..
We just fix some bug and using it u can run pvz on ur mips device now!
Thanks for philips and Ingenic provide us the newer mips device and source code.As return,v open ur source to Ingenic BeiJing now!It is quite excited to find our app pre-installed into ingenic offical rom
We fix the support of skype and PvZ in this version..
Since something different between ainol's device and Philips's device..we just build two magiccode for them.
Warning: the v1.42 must be used with the n7k and philips's rom release yesterday.never try it with the old rom.
v1.3
Good news,a new version of codemagic will release now!
1.with both 3.2(after n7b's 1217 rom)/4.0.1/4.0.3(test with the rom released in "imp3.net" last week) support,with this version of codemagic,it's no need for u to download v1.0 v1.1 any more.U can use the apk on both n7b and n7k
2.fix the support of "Angry Bird",it's sure that almost each version of Angry Bird can be used on mips now!
v1.1
thx for Tom provide us novo7 knight(n7p) ,with ur help,v have tested our CodeMagic ics version and it seems work well
1.the v1.1 tested with n7b ics reldased rom and n7p origanal rom(since we can't find any offical rom on ainovo.com)
2.it can't be used on HC rom,if u need it,plz try the 1.0version and they r almost the same.
v1.0
tested with ainol novo7 basic honeycomb 1217 rom
the apk can not be used in ics of other version of hc now.
Great news. This is something can show that basic is not a bad idea to buy now.Hopefully in the future I can see many HD games can run on the basic. I'll try this and let you know if is working fine at this moment with HC. Thanks again for this application. Best regards
mmm what this app do exactly? it converts arm assembler code intro mips assembler code of the .so files?
BTW, just a warning, DONT ATTEMPT to install Chainfire3D driver, because, with this, the chainfire 3d apk installs and works, but hangs the device while installing the driver and it will not longer boot, and a "firmware update" will be nesesary.
BTW2, we should expect a performance hit? mame4droid now works, but is way slow.
Good Night
This is my first post hoping this works for programs apk
Install it on my Novo7 with HC 3.2 (is root and the operating system is the same that came with the tablet) but when I open I get a message "OS not supported", then press "ON", then the message "Waiting" and stays there doing nothing more
I need to load a special ROM to test apk?
Thanks and forgive my English
yes it needs the 20111217 HC... is the newer one.
Thank you very much for the answer
You know where I can find that version?
Many thanks for this!!! Can't wait for the ICS version of MagicCode, I assume you will make one right?
as far as our test.quite a few gameloft hd games can b used on mips nowu may try the hack version,if they work well,then u can buy them from gameloft
My main interest is to get the Skype apk to run on my MIPS novo basic. If MagicCode can make that happen then I'm more than happy to pay for it. I'll be wathing this thread... Thanx all u MagicCode workers!
im still unable to edit the build.prop in a way so the device can still boot up and arm apps apear on market. But that is a totally diferent matter.
So far its good, mame4droid run slow for some reason, but other emus are now working and run fine.
If you can check why skype and netflix arent working, i think me and every basic user will be very gratefull.
BTW, i have a question, the .so libs are "translated" to mips in real time or they are "translated" when installed? if the second is the case, it shouldt be easier to do a program that transate the .so files in a apk offline in any desktop pc? with that you dont need to worry about android versions.
I tested some aplications and games and most now can be installed but only one or two of almost 10 I tested can run One is a game ninja rush. Skype I have installed it but cannot sign in. Another game I can run is the asphalt 5 HD but need data to download and if I put a microSD, it still aking for external memory, no idea why!
Waiting for any update of the MagicCode. Thank you!
Brilliant bit of work guys, I can confirm that Swype works using this program, I am continuing to test others (Like Opera Browser) and I will report back as I find out more.
EDIT: I can confirm that, although Opera installs, it crashes on launch, I have not run a LogCat on it but there is no visible error, not even an FC message.

Hey guys,
I am also having troubles with the magic-code app, but i have come to the conclusion by reading this thread that i need the HC 1217 update or rom? a finger in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. =]

agreed, would that be a possibility in the near future?
Great work! Many ARM apps now work on Novo 7 basic.
It seems that MagicCode is doing dynamic translation, when the setting is "off", the installed apps won't run; set it back to "on", then those apps work again.
It's difficult to say how long will take to finish the ics version.
May b a mouth or even longer since the kernel 3.0.x works quite different to kernel2.6.x.
It's noly a dev version now.
forget about ICS for now, its not needed. DalvikTurbo will be avalible for 3.2 first anyway.
Any chance for a desktop version that could fully translate the .so files once, instead of having to do it on fly?

Holding a Novo 7 Paladin with ICS on it right now...I could definitely use this for 4.0.
can make one for 4.0 ? novo7 paladin
I need a small device with linux. is possible to install on LiveView mn800 normal linux script? is possible to use keys and write a small program in script lang. Ruby, perl, lua etc.
As the LiveView runs Android (which is Linux-based) then Yes - it is possible.
It's just extremely unlikely that you will be able to install pure Linux unless you are an extremely accomplished coder / developer.

An extremely accomplished coder / developer wrote this HOWTO about installing GNU/Linux on any unlocked Android device:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1780378
Still, if running GNU/Linux is the primary purpose, don't get an Android device, get a x86 laptop.

I know what is android and linux. But show me exactly this model. How I can root it. is any blocking installations or other problems. Show me what i can to do this.

Wait a minute now. Isn't this that watch-thingy?
No, it does not run Android, and I can't believe Linux neither. It's just a dumb remote control talking bluetooth to an Android device. Probably using some very limited micro controller not capably of much anything at all. Sorry.
How about motorola motactv ? This does run android

From Wikipedia:
It was discovered by an owner named "CMW" (aka. CMWDOTME on Twitter) that by patching the boot kernel and rooting the device, simply replacing the main "launcher" app on the MOTOACTV with almost any Android launcher app from the Market, the MOTOACTV becomes a rather capable watch-sized Android tablet, matching most of the specs of many Android-based phones except for a much reduced size.
The device reports that it is running Android 2.3.4 which according to Google is the same API as Android 2.3 with some minor patches and bug fixes.

so many apps i will give you few apps list xposed framework not full supported. gravity box with 1 brightness level. multiple hayday accounts app. selinux not permissive. screenfilter not work. overall os size is very less this device will work like beast on kitkat.
simple comparison is difference between windows 7 and windows 10

but windows 10 doesn't support all drivers we have to reboot pc with disable driver signature enforcement something like that. i have faced lot of issues when flashing os and with fastboot drivers which works awesome on w7. most annoying thing is microsoft spying on w10 and u cant stop it.

Erm.. I never had issues with drivers on my windows 10. I think you need to install the universal android drivers that are widely available on the internet. Regarding spying then since you are using an android which is a Google ptoduct, you cannot escape spying. Google is synonymous to spying

I even have this dream . Kitkat use dalvik vm and i feel it is smooth and easy to modify apps . Art has brought a lot of changes . If u want kitkat , u need to build cm11 . But this wont work in 99% cases ad u use a device tree from mm
Unfortunately no, because every smartphone (let's take the Galaxy s8 as an example), can't have a ROM That have an older version with what it came with, even if it came with 7.1, it can't have a custom ROM of 7.0
Hey Guys,
I'm curios if any of you tried to install vanilla Android on MediaPad M6 (SCM-W09). I would like to do it but I need help with it. My knowledge is very basic, could you please tell me if there is any working manual which could me guide through this process? What I want to achieve is to have a normal Android with software from hardware producer and if possible working external Huawei keyboard. I bought set: tablet and keyboard.
Best regards
mgolczyk.
Vanilla Android is the Android developed by Google, not containing all the OEM related blobs: it's the base all OEMs use to create a fork matching their devices.
Hi @jwoegerbauer, thank you for replay, what does it mean in details? It means that if I try install vanilla version on this device I can have issue with drivers? I guess that vanilla android has an set of drivers for most popular hardware right? What do you recommend me, abandon the idea and try to install google services with one of the unofficial ways? Do you know if there is a way to install vanilla android on this device?
