T428 Nexus Rom SDK2 and Multi-Windows - Official

[finrodize]

i use kernel from finless 1,5 rom this one .....kerneljjh-800mhz-1080p

thanks, its working fine now.

i sgill have some questions. why can i not sideload apps? whenever i try to install a package i just can not press the install button on the dialogue box. is this something specific with this rom? i made sure that installytion from unknown sources is allowed.

do air mouses in general not work with this rom? my measy rc12 does not get connected at all. currently using droidmote towrite this text. but i would love to use my airmouse..

also is there any way to turn off the device other than to unplug it? i mean with finless roms there was always a reboot app, that enabled such things.

thanks in advance for your answers!

So how to fix the hdmi screen scaling. Ideally this should be done by changing the kernel source code , but as strauzo thinks that the GPL does not apply to him we will have to do it through init.d now you are probably thinking that this has been tried before and did not work.


Now we all know this does not work


echo xscale=95 yscale=95 > /sys/devices/virtual/display/display0.HDMI/scale


The question is why doesn't it, and the answer is simple, when I looked in the source code of the kernel I found that they had changed a few things, you see everything created in sys folder comes from the kernel, so now the correct line is


echo 95 > /sys/class/graphics/fb0/scale


and to easily scale down your display just download this http://www.cloudstor.es/file/m1_NDk0MQ/ and put it in system/etc/init.d and reboot



I would just like to add here that I believe that everything can be solved by working together and not against each other. when developers share information with each other things get fixed a lot faster, and means that you the end user gets a better experience

The link for the file is broken. Can u send another link???

I have a copy saved: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0By8k...it?usp=sharing you can change the "95" to adjust the scale. I had to make mine 92 when using this rom b/c my tv overscans so badly. just use text editor in es file explorer or similar.

Strange, it was there for me as I remember....are you on the latest multi window rom? Try creating one and see what happens?! Backup your apps first.

I am experiencing the same issue. When launching an APK, I'm unable to press the 'install' button.
My first thought was to reboot, which I did, and I was able to install 1 APK. Afterwards it went back to the same issue where pressing install is impossible.
I tried rebooting several times, but the issue remains now.

This is a very unfortunate thing, since I find this the best ROM I have used so far. I hope anyone can point us in the right direction for resolving this problem.

that's a simple google security feature, it disable the install button when you are using something that take control of the "pointer or put overlays over other apps - this way an app shouldnt able to sideload other malware apps without the user knowing.
as droidmote take control of the "pointer" and uses overlay buttons to emulate apps on screen press point, it get caught on this protection.
its not a strong security feature as its really easy to bypass: just use the keyboard, arrow down till install is enlightened and then press enter.

This one got me too. You must be using droidmote. You need to turn it off to install. Just plug in a usb mouse to install the apk then turn droidmote service back on. It has to do with overlays and the way android work's

O-M-G !!! You are absolutely right !
I only just started using droidmote, together with this ROM...
When I first rebooted, droidmote wasn't set on starting automatically yet and the install worked. The second time I set droidmote to start on boot, so that's why I couldn't install after reboot whilst I could the first time !

Thanks for pointing this out, you're a winner :-)

flashed 1.2. This rom is awsome. everything works and is stable. video is smooth(very important to me), and troublesome apps on other roms are steady on this one...... only one thing..
With the sleeptimer on (for instance) 1 minute, it goes to sleep(and so it should), but i cant get it to wake up with my flymouse or a regular usb mouse. maybe it is frozen. I have to hard reset it. With the sleeptimer on 15 secs it doesn't go to sleep at all, which is the solution for me.
My compliments for this fantastic rom.

Maybe a stupid question, but is connecting mass storage device -USB HDD drive- not supported on this ROM?

When connecting a USB HUB, it recognizes my keyboard's USB bluetooth dongle, but not my external HDD.
Anyway to fix this?

Does your hub have its own power supply? If not the current received from the USB port may not be enough to power the HDD.

Once one app starts in portretmode(screen 90deg. rotated) which 2 apps did spontaneously, the device takes this state as default. With the rotation locker i can restore this to landscape, but after a reboot the screen is rotated again. Can this locker automatically start after reboot, and set the T428 to landscape?

g-d*mned ! No, it doesn't... Will purchase one which does and try again.
Unfortunately I bought one which doesn't, hoping it would work since I saw they're using one with ethernet and without ext powersupply on Geekbuying...
