Started native development for LG webOS TV, a lot of things are working - WebOS Software and Hacking General

I recently purchased a new TV running webOS 4.5. I can't root it but still native app development is possible.
Here's all tools and samples: https://github.com/webosbrew , and here's what is working so far:
1. Qt Quick 5.6.2
2. SDL 2.0.5
3. GStreamer (sound only)
And here's the game streaming app I've been porting:
I also started reverse engineering, and needs your help if you've rooted your TV before.
Could any one share your copy of root file system? Also, if possible, could you share the YouTube/Netflix application binary running on your TV? So I can find out how to make hardware video acceleration works.

You'll probably want to join the openlgtv discord. There's a tool on their github (epk2extract) which will extract a number of firmware files. I found a similar model to mine to extract.

Thank you. I've joined their server and indeed got some great help.

Kudos to @mariotaku , the development is amazing. I've installed version 0.6.1 and works like a charm!! Everybody should try this

Is the openlgtv discord still available? I can't find it..

[Q] "A9 NEC RENESAS EMMA V2 Dual Core Android 2.2 Tablet" review anyone?

Hi guys!
Since I didn't find any review to the "A9 NEC RENESAS EMMA V2 Dual Core Android 2.2 Tablet" offered in the (german) cect-shop, I was wondering whether someone already bought and tried it. Specs are quite nice, IMHO and videos on youtube look promising. Can someone share his experience with that tablet?
Thanks in advance.
Rena3 Reply
Hi,
I personally have the device and the experience so far has been good using the device.
There is a whole bunch of information over at slatedroid page where there is a group of active users.
Sorry but my post is very little so you have to head over at slatedroidpage, please replace the dots with "."
www dot statedroid dot com/forum/204-rena/
Perhaps someone wants to start a thread over at this page? Hopefully some XDA developer over here owns the device and we can get things started
overall the device has received 3 firmware upgrades so far and the community is hopeful for gingerbread to be released for this. We do have the kernel source codes for this product but do not have any developers to help us out with getting gingerbread out yet for this.
also replace statedroid with "slatedroid"
I also don't purchase this tablet, but i purchase flytouch 3 from a china site,called mcbub.com,i find they have the A9 NEC renesas tablet, here is some review in their site:
http://www.mcbub.com/customer-revie...GB-Bluetooth-HDMI-MID-black-CN101769--136318/
hope this can help you.

full root for Rena 3
Greetings, comrades!
All the usual, lazy engine of progress. Tired of doing manually as rooting and rebuild the firmware for Rena, i am wrote a script that works like a flash, but flash itself is not working, just do it root! =)
Thus, the universal root for any firmware Rena 3:
Install:
Unzip all the files and qroot directory to root SD card.
Turn off the device.
Turn on, hold VOL+ POWER.
Wait until the message "Well done. Root complete."
Reboot device, enjoy.
The necessary files and directories:
install.sh
uImage4
ff4
cramfs4
sdboot.bin
uboot-sd.bin
and directory /qroot
NOTE!
The update does not repartition and reformat the partitions do not.

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.

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.

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

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?

MSI WindPad Enjoy 7 firmware update

If you have an MSI windpad 7 or 10 and want to update its firmware, here is the link to the latest : http://event.msi.com/nb/enjoy/enjoy7.html#/?div=Firmware
Fair warning : This 2.3 gingerbread update doesn't improve performance much, it looks better than android 2.2 but people report different bugs that I didn't experience myself.
A bug I am experiencing with it is that its bluetooth and wifi are going crazy, not detecting devices like they used to do on android 2.2. be warned if you use this tablet with your car's bluetooth, it probably will stop connecting to it after the 2.3 update.
IMPORTANT MESSAGE : if anyone just bought this tablet and still has android 2.2 on it, please be cool and catch an image of it to share with us who updated to the buggy firmware. MSI customer support sucks, they don't keep old firmware on their website!
Here's how you can make an "image" of your firmware : http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/0...nandroid-backup-and-clockworkmod-rom-manager/
You should end up with a .img file that you can reinstall later if you find out the update is buggy for you.
Don't hesitate to post or PM me if you need help.
Hi adilator, just found this post via a google search. I have a windpad 7 that I havent updated yet. Am happy to do an image of it when I get home later.
Was hoping to find a way to get Skype video working on the damn thing but guessing this firmware update doesnt help so wont put myself through it
Hi leemako.
The normal skype you download from android play (market) doesn't work on this tablet, you need to use the one bundled with its original firmware. if you updated skype and it's not working, you can easily revert the update and go back to the original installation by going to the applications management page and click on "unistall updates".
is your tab on android 2.2 or did it come with 2.3 preinstalled?
I'd really appreciate your help if you can share the img with us.
Btw, if you must root the tab, don't do the root img available on a thread in this forum, it will install a new version of the firmware with the bug I'm trying to avoid. You should test the various froyo root tools available such as Z4root or gingerbreak, look here : http://www.itsmyiphoneworld.com/android-device/howtorootandroidversionfroyo222
ah sorry, I just checked and it was bundled with 2.3.1.
Hey it's ok leemako.
For anyone landing on this page after a search, if you're looking for the best custom rom for this tablet, here's where you should look : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1668786
It's a great rom based on the latest official rom but with an ICS skin that makes it look a million times better.

[Completed] [Q] Can somebody create a modified apk of Portal for Non-Tegra Devices?

Hello. I always wanted to install Portal for my LG phone, however I always get a parsing error message every time I do it. One time I found a modified apk of Half-Life 2 that I was able to install without any problem: _www_76_._zippyshare_._com_/_v_/_13558591-/file_._html_ (remove the underscores for the url to work; I'm not allowed to post outside links yet ). Can someone provide to me an apk of Portal that's modified similar to that of the modified Half-Life 2 apk? It would mean a lot to me. Thank you to whoever undertakes this ordeal
Hi there,
Can you be more specific in your request? What is Portal, what device/firmware/ROM and so on, give more details about that.
Thanks

Hello. Thanks for your help. Portal is a game only available for the Nvidia Shield and installing an apk of it results in a parsing error for me. Now, I understand that my phone is not a Nvidia Shield, but somebody modified Half-Life 2 (another game only available for the Nvidia Shield) in the aforementioned link in the first post to be able to be installed without any parsing errors. I was wondering if the same can be done with a Portal apk. Here's a link to the apk if you want:_play_._mob_._org_/_game_/_portal_._html_ (again, remove underscores) I have an LG Optimus G running on its stock rom (I do no know what it's called) and my firmware is Android OS 4.1.2.
Hi,
I founded some discussions about that game, but the most relevant is here: Shield games Portal and half life? and seems that is not for non-Tegra devices.
Also you can review this thread : [GAME] Portalizer copy of Portal PC game for Android
Thanks
