[dev]MagicCode---run a arm apk in mips device

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.

MagicCode_1.51_special modifying
This version modify a bug about for "all MIPS-based SoCs". And I removed the v1.51_special.
v1.51_special released!
This is a special version marked for "all MIPS-based SoCs".
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. =]
Thanks,

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

Is possible to install linux on Live View mn800 Sony Ericsson?

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.

[Q] Aircrack gui for Hisense Sero 7 Pro

After doing some research on this Tablet, I have found out that it has a bcm4330 broadcom wifi chipset. Basically what I want to do is enable monitor mode and packet injecting. Some of the work has been done thanks to these guys who have rewritten the firmware to enable monitor mode http://bcmon.blogspot.com/
And this guy for a good gui [URL="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2233282"]http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2233282
Can someone help me get it to work on this device? I have installed the aircrack gui app and put the firmware in it. But I don't know how to get the module which is required by the app. So what I am asking for is someone to help me by either telling me how to compile the kernel with the module or else do it for me. I have done some looking around but I have not found a user friendly way to compile the kernel to get this to work. I only got this tablet a week ago and I want to learn about it and use it to it's fullest potential. I have already rooted it.
You can download the aircrack gui app from the second link and the firmware from the first.
Thanks in advance.

Sero 7 Pro Has Working Monitor Mode, Aircrack, and Reaver!
When it comes to handheld penetration testing, I still adore my Nokia N900, but that is starting to change ever since I realized that it was possible to get monitor mode on other more modern devices using various Broadcom Wifi chipsets. I recently managed to get monitor working on my Sero 7 Pro tablet. I have the DoPa v1.1 ROM installed, and I used the bcmon.apk from bcmon.blogspot.com/‎, which can be downloaded at https://code.google.com/p/bcmon/‎. Android development is certainly not my primary focus, but after view the post above, and craving a Nexus 7 PwnPad, I couldn't resist giving it a try.

Ubuntu Touch porting - where to post?

Hello All,
I am trying to re-vive the Ubuntu Touch port for Galaxy S3. In which of the many areas of XDA this would be placed?
- Its no official or unofficial Android ROM
- its rather like Sailfish OS
How to name the thread correctly according to [ROM] etc flags?

The other problems I manage locally - but I want to start a discussion thread soon, since I am convinced to be able to push out a test build soon. I want to involve more people into this, thereby generating more possible solutions for problems.
In case you are interested, the phone boots already correctly, kernel is fine without errors, Android container starts also without errors. Ubuntu´s init/upstart is mounting all necessary partitions, and brings up most of the basic services. Currently stuck with GUI since mir/libhybris/unity8 cannot paint on framebuffer or hw composer

Bro.. I own a s3 at&t.. And would love to help out on testing ROMs. This task of yours seems promising.
Meanwhile, I installed a Linux OS in my system of which am still trying to wrap my head around (If its of any help). So just call out anytime u need me.

Hi,
good to know. We just need to make sure AT&T version does not have too much difference from the international one. Can you dedicate it for testing? It does not need data to be wiped normally, since Ubuntu runs off a container in the data partition but you never know...
I am currently stuck with the GUI and tbh I have no idea when and how this will be resolved. Samsung has done a great job with their GPU and Exynos, but our libhybris part does not want to play with it nicely.
Keep you updated!
BR

Actually I use it as my DD but wouldn't mind testing a few ROMs for the gd of the comm.
Aiite then. Patiently waiting for the update.

I have the international version of S3 GT-i9300. It is currently without a working rom, so I need to find time to see if it will boot with an official rom flashed with odin, it currently has an old clockwork mod recovery installed and a lineage os rom that wont boot..
If I get it working again, then I could dedicate it to testing... I would love to have a phone that was pure linux with phone capabilities... then I would no longer need to use google's linux abomination known as android

Hi,
sorry to say but I stopped now every porting activity, since Canonical dropped Ubuntu Touch and we are struggling on all other frontlines to get the community together for continuing the OS.
There will be no new hardware ports in the near future, which I think will be up to 1 year or 2. By that time, also S-III etc are end of life, since its hard to support multiple generations of smartphones with different kernels properly. Im afraid we are too late...
Anyway, contact me if you want to help in other areas of Ubuntu Touch going UBports community

Hi there,
Florian from UBports. The active devices that we support can be found here: https://devices.ubports.com/#/ - that being said, you wont find the Note 2 there as an active device. What happened in the past I can´t say, but currently we have no ETA to work on new devices.

Salfish OS or Ubuntu touch port for Mi Pad 1

Hello developers,
I am using Mi pad 1 since its release and noticed one thing that is the manufacturer just launched the device and then forgot about it, the hardware of this devices was beastly at its time of launch but because of lack of good software and software optimisation most of people just forgot this device. There are several custom ROMs for this device and most of them are good but non of them is perfect. Every custom ROM has several bugs which make me feel to go and use the stock ROM which is based on android 4.4 and very laggy.
I think this can be changed if a Linux ROM will be ported for this device because Linux ROM are light and i think a big 8 inch display can be best used by these ROM.
Kindly think about this and do something, once I tried by myself to port the Ubuntu touch by watching some tutorials but i don't know about coding and several other things which i think are necessary for it.
(Sorry for grammatical mistakes or bad English)
