[Q] Asus memo pad 7 missing a lot of firmware - MeMO Pad 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I rerecently received an asus memo pad 7 with my life shield home Security package to monitor my system. It has surelock installed and would only run the life shield app. I did a system recovery and disabled surelock so I can use it for other things but stuff is missing, I'm assuming because it was only ment to monitor ny home security. So want have found missing is the home buttons at the bottom of the screen, i found an app for that though, also no status bar and camera not working I'm sure there's more I haven't found. How can I get all the "stuff" it's missing?

just determine what the model number actually is, then search for firmware on asus site.

Ok, my tablet is a me173x, also found out it's been rooted and has clockwork super su installed by life shield. They removed or boocked most of the stock firmware. I found the kernel for it on the asus website. So now what? Keep in mind I have know idea what I'm doing. Learning as i go. Please help.

Pocket / Read it Later App is not longer available for the nook

Hey everybody,
i know there alot of nook users that use Read it Later (Now called "Pocket").
Since they changed to the new name it cant be installed on your nook from the android market.
i think they discontinued the android 2.1 support.
I have opened a ticket at their support system to get it back on the nook
If you want this too or just want to help me to get it back,
please leave a reply on the ticket
http://support.readitlaterlist.com/...android-21-for-older-devices-or-ebook-readers
Thank You!
Could you pull the necessary files from a Nook that has ReadItLater currently installed?
Failing that, I would email 'Pocket' support and ask for the application. You might get it. It was available publically only hours ago, how strict could they be?
i have thought about that too (add the files here) but i only have the pro version.
I dont think its allowed to publish the apk from a paid app ?! but i dont know, if iam wrong correct me
Yes it now requires 2.2.
Although it never worked properly on my nook anyway. Had some serious scrolling problems. When scrolling down by swiping the screen it would often move in the wrong direction. I had the same problem with the IHT app by the way.
Have a look at the Readability thread in this forum. Maybe that is for you. Its what I am doint at the moment.

Grr. Old app no longer syncs
Wasn't going to complain too much not to get the "pocket" rebrand since readitlater was still working fine... but now it isn't. Can't download any of my articles (though it can see they are there). They must have changed the system to no longer be compatible with the old version.
New ticket here (url broken to see if I'm allowed to post it, I'm a bit noob round here)

Okay, this "readability" thing then....
You can use Instapaper with Instafetch app. It has eink friendly UI and made especially for nook

Free registration at instapaper.com, free app. from google market "Read later for Instapaper" (author Capone) plus official bookmarklet from instapaper.com for browser which adds current page to the reading list. I almost happy with this solution.
Cons: no images, font is horrible and i see no way to change it, you need to refresh the list manually to download new articles, don't use full screen mode because it will hide options button at the top of your nook. Cheers

Capone's "Read Later for Instapaper" has been removed from the Google Play store. Presumably because it no longer syncs (the spinner spins, but makes no progress) and if you clear data and try to set it up again, the (correct) username and password aren't accepted. Presumably Instapaper have blocked it from logging into an account that doesn't have a $1/month subscription attached (the API is only open to third-party apps if the account does so). The official paid Instapaper app doesn't require the subscription, but requires Android 2.3.3.
Has anyone got a copy of an older version of the official Instapaper app that still runs on Android 2.1?
EDIT: I've found Laters which works on Android 2.1 on the Nook, so I think I'll switch back to Pocket.
I read today that Pocket is now available for the Kobo reader. May be is it possible to use the kobo version on our NST?

There is an option to increase or decrease the text size in the menu when reading Push Text Style on the menu. You can also choose Article view or full web page view in th options.
Readitlater seems to be the best option right now. It is possible to scroll with the nook buttons by enabling "Volume rocker scrolling" in the Readitlater settings. You have to go into Nook Touch Mod Manager and set your hardware buttons to Volume up and Volume down, but fortunately the keys still work fine in reader apps when set like this.
Newer version
This is the 1.3 version. I 've tested it, it works pretty good and has the "volume rocker" option too. Only minus is that if you map hardware keys to volume up and down, while they work well with read it later they don't work with stock reader
Also sometimes you swipe to scroll down but it scrolls up (weird bug..)

[Q]Disabling lockscreen

Hello xda,
After a few weeks with my rooted nook touch, I have come to realize how annoying the DRAG TO UNLOCK screen is. Is there any way to skip this and go straight from screensaver to homescreen/book/whatever-you-were-doing? Already scoured the google and this forum and can't find anything.
Thanks in advanced!
yeah, that would be nice if the lockscreen/screensaver could be completely disabled!
I use No Lock by BoD http://www.appbrain.com/app/org.jraf.android.nolock It has a widget for toggling the lockscreen too. I use it on all my android devices that don't have a rom with it built in. I wasn't sure if it would work with the nook touch but it works like a charm. I'd be nice to have a custom rom for the touch that has it built in. Maybe if cm7 gets running on it.

The problem of this utility is that it's always running as service and take some resources.
If I kill it from services keylock starting to work.
Think must be another ways - smth like disable lock in sys settings via adb.
If you're rooted with nook manager just use the nook touch mod manager and under the configure mod option you can disable the drag to unlock and also have a customized banner with your name and number below.

I know this is an old thread, and the Nook Touch Mod Manager fix DOES work if you have it installed, but as someone who just recently re-enabled the two part unlock, let me just mention that it is actually a useful feature. I don't know how many times I have pulled my Nook out to a random page, or random menu selection because the button got bumped whole it was in my pocket. Luckily, no random changes happened that were irreversible. It would really have sucked if I had managed to out it in black text on a black background, for example, and knowing my luck, it's amazing that I didn't.
So that's my two cents' worth. You can disable it, but it is actually quite useful, and speaking from experience, I recommend against doing it.

[MOD] Drivelink (Mirrorlink) Full Mirroring

j0ep0 and I are currently working to get the mirroring that we were promised working with Drivelink and the Galaxy S III. Currently we have mirroring working successfully but there are a few bugs with the Drivelink app getting wiped and restarted. Here is a list of everything so far:
Full Mirroring without the drive link app resurfacing - Working (random restarts due to memory cleanup in android)
Work with Any Launcher - Currently Nova and Apex work
Reassigning the Home button -
Bypassing the two warning Messages -
Compatibility with Non-touchwiz Roms-
Compatibility with Other Devices -
Dim or turn off Phone screen when mirroring-
Automatically go into launcher (minimizing drivelink) -
Currently the setup we have is working for the following devices:
GSM Galaxy S III
CDMA Galaxy S III (No Data)
If it is working on your device please post, or PM me with the Following:
Carrier
Phone Model
Any Bugs
Rom/Kernel (If custom)
Installation Instructions:
Code:
Non-root:
Go into Settings and Enable "Install from Unknown sources"
Install the APK and run it.
Plug into your head unit and pray.
This method has worked for some (including myself) and not for others.
It will give you the standard Drivelink app and
no custom code by us, you need root for that.
Rooted users:
Download the TMServer zip to your Phone
Reboot into recovery and install (Like a ROM)
No need to wipe anything, you're just replacing
a system APK which is why you need root.
Install the Drivelink APK after enabling Unknown sources.
Run the Drivelink app and plug your phone into the head unit,
After accepting prompts you should see the drive link app.
There are several ways to get to your stock home screen but the easiest for me is to hold your home button down the bring up task manager, Click on another open app, when it opens hit the home button and viola, you're at your home screen. We are trying to find a way to bypass this but drivelink puts the phone into car mode and that disables the home button. Car mode is required to get the audio to route correctly to the head unit.
Here are the Links:
TM Server- Must be flashed in a custom recovery:
TMServer
Drivelink- Remove all versions, allow unknown sources and install this apk:
DriveLink
Both j0ep0 and myself have full time jobs and families so we are working very hard to get this working on our own time. So please be patient. We will get this working fully!
Nice description write up by Olywa123, Thanks
What is it
Drivelink is Samsung's application used to facilitate ‘Mirrorlink’ connectivity with supported car headunits. Currently their are several aftermarket car stereos by Sony, Alpine, and JVC that support this technology. The majority of users here have the Sony XAV-601BT headunit but it is believed the protocol for connection is the same for each. This standard is known as Mirrorlink (formerly Terminal Mode) and uses the VNC RFB3.8 protocol allowing for two-way communication between the smartphone and headunit over a usb connection for both display duplication and key-inputs and uses Bluetooth A2DP for Audio.
Videos
The following videos best provide a summary of this technology
Mirrorlink Overview: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWNpK...eature=related
Example of MirrorLink on XAV-601BT: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BsT1l8bLOfU (shows Nokia and Samsung phone support)
Example of Drivelink App: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHVmogapY9U
Why The Drive Link App needs Modification
Although Samsung have released the Drivelink application, this is not only very limited but also compatible only with the Galaxy SIII currently. It provides a ‘dashboard’ interface allowing for the use of only stock Music, Phone and Navigation (limited to Google maps) functionality. You cannot get back to your phones home screen or run any other apps while Drivelink is running/mirrored on the headunit and killing Drivelink kills the interface meaning the stereo no longer sees and mirrors the phones display. This appears to be a restriction coded into the Drivelink software as the video above shows that the Nokia interface allows for full phone control in addition to just the Nokia released Mirrorlink app on Symbian (Car Mode).

If you use Touchwiz based Rom, first check in /system/tmserverapp.apk exists. If it is there, just install the DriveLink apk. If it's not, install this TMServer: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?3926b2kuewyn84i.

Drive Link works on CM10, but the screen mirroring app doesn't.
3 weeks or so and I should have my Verizon Note 2 and will be back in this for some testing. assuming it doesnt just work right off.
it works! thanks!
but if I run Temple Run game, the USB link will fail.
I guess the memory killer may kill the tm server that cause USB link fail.
BTW,
I remember the USB link requires the CDC/NCM support in kernel or the mirrorlink cannot be activated, correct?

You're answering your own question, VZW is Samung based and has the Touchwiz framework. You can always switch launcher to Trebuchet or Nova to get a less "Touchwiz" sensation.

To do a little braindump, I've checked in /system/security/security/cacerts but can't find much differences between the several ROMs. In the code of the Drive Link app there are some checks in build.prop to identify the device but if that's really restricted the app shouldn't work on the Verizon as that device id isn't in the code. Finally I've found some references to the bootloader/kernel. That might be the cause.
I don't have the deck, the keying part isn't published in the source code from Sony and mirrorlink doesn't seem to be working on the latest XXDLJ4 (rooted) for i9300 which I'm running as my daily driver. Maybe someone could confirm that?

Skygo or 3 dot menu?

I will be receiving my new device today and I am having a bit of a dilemma. For the first time, I am considering running my device stock un-rooted as I really like to have the skygo app which will only function on an un-rooted device. The problem is, I know the 3 dot menu will really do my head in.
I am coming from the hox + were this menu can be disabled without root so, firstly, could somebody tell me how prevailent this is at present? Are there still a lot of apps with this problem?
The ideal solution for me would be to have skygo working on a rooted device but I have searched and searched and have not been able to find a solution for this. Is there one?
Also, perhaps a noob question, is it possible to root the device, remove the 3 dot menu then un-root it and still have this modification on place?
Any observations and help would be grately appreciated.
This is also the main reason I rooted. There are still a LOT of apps with the 3 dot menu and it is unbelievably annoying to see that black bar so often. I don't know why htc didn't just leave the option to long press back for menu in the stock Rom.
Sent from my HTC One using xda-developers app
Yes, the 3 dot menu is there for many apps. Yes, it is annoying. However, seeing as the screen is an decent size and I have always had the 3 dots since owning the phone, I am used to it now, it doesn't bug me all that much.
Also, I think there is a decent chance this will be fixed when htc send out an update.
Sky go just recently updated to include working on the HTC one, who knows how long it will last.... Which is why I would say to stick with Unrooted for now if you are a sky go user

Since you already have a HOX+, enable the on screen menu & check the apps you frequently use if they are updated & don't need the menu button anymore. This way you will know if it will bother you or not.
Root the stock rom on your device, disable 3 dot menu, remove the Superuser binaries, install SkyGo. Works a treat!

Where I put "Works A Treat" it should read "Should work a treat". I haven't tested it on this device but I had a similar problem getting SkyGo to work on my Nexus 10. I had to root first, edit the build.prop to think it's a different device and then unroot. Worked perfectly.

Well it kind of worked. You no longer get the doesnt work on a rooted device message however you do get the Unsupported Device message. This is because SkyGo doesnt officially support the One yet. A news report I just read suggests that Sky are increasing there supported devices next week to include the One and the S4.
I would suggest waiting until SkyGo is updated next week and then try the above method.
Nope, sky go now does officially get support for htc one. I downloaded it yesterday, it mentions this phone in the most recent updates. And I tried it out for a few seconds, streamed countdown fine.
Just to confirm I am on an Unrooted htc one.

How to enable call recording and download booster in hidden menu ?
For starters neither me nor the person that gave the directions are responsible if you brick your device or end up with system errors or unstable system in general....
XDA won't let me post the link to the call recorder because I am a new member here.... so you will have to do a Google search on enabling the hidden call record on the s5...
To enable download booster this is what I did download nova launcher start nova launcher long press home screen click shortcuts click activities scroll down untill you see settings click that scroll down until you see download booster click it.. it will put a shortcut on the nova launchers home screen for download booster click it activate enjoy...
I can't take credit for either set of directions as I am not the one who discovered it I can't remember who I got the download booster intrusions from but it was on the XDA site.. the other I found just by down research....

I've had my s5 for a couple months now and here's some pretty cool tricks/ tips I've come across:
(I am not to blame for a bricked phone; processed with common sense and at your own risk)
- Adding new toggles
- Changing the notification panel icons from circles to squares by editing your build.prop "ro.product.device" and "ro.product.name" From "klteatt" to "jflteatt"(s4 notification panel and recent apps?)
- Have not tested this... Adding quick connect and s finder button to notification panel by changing "ro.product.device" and "ro.product.name" to "kltetmo "
- Have not tested this... Att has limited the cloud backup and restoring function of this phone so you can not backup and restore useful data such as mms, sms and call logs(?) I was able to bypass this by uninstalling the stock samsung account app and installing a new one.(Will try to upload apk I used if not just google)
- $tt has also crippled the stock my files and gallery app so you cant use the Dropbox function on either app(probably so you'll use their cloud service). Haven't found a work around but flashing to a t mobile rom will have the feature enabled on both apps.
- tip - Save time managing your files by using multi window mode with 2 my files app open, you can drag selected content from one screen to the other screen to save time.
Hope I helped someone

I'm using a mostly stock t-mobile based rom it might not be loaded with features but it's stable. I've tried dynamic kat but the battery was draining too much in standby even when I tried disabling a lot of features and apps.
I've been running Dynamic Kat for a few months ( pretty much since it was released ) I loved it and had great battery life. It would last anywhere from 1.5 - 2 days. I'm now running alliance rom. I ran it about a week ago and the battery want very impressive so I went back to Dynamic Kat, but got bored today so I flashed back to alliance and disabled a few more things and greenified alot of stuff so I'll see how it works now
Thanks for all the info keep them coming! I'm downloading visix at the moment and will download these others as soon as I get a chance

Not sure what to tell you... do some research... that's what I do.... the booster uses wifi and service providers internet to boost downloads OVER 30MB so if you are not connected to wifi and the download is not over 30MB in size it's not going to do anything..

I've had the download booster working on my phone. I can assure you, that all that nova launcher does is unhides the feature. It does not unlock it or make it work. There is a thread around here as to how to make the download booster work, but the fix is kind of unstable and works best on firmware G900AUCU1ANCE. It will break private mode, and on another firmware, has a tendency to break the camera and the gps. I don't know if it works at all on the most recent update. I'm on the one in between, G900AUCU2AND3. I could go back, but I prefer to keep the Reactivation lock over the download booster.
Fair enough I just now tested it out and your right it don't work witch sucks.. when I first unlocked it using nova I had nothing over 30mb to test it on nor do I have WiFi at my house so I had to wait to go to my bro-in-laws just to test it looks like I'll be doing more research on this.... I am still looking to test out other roms so anyone that has any suggestions on good roms to try out let me know I'm currently running visix witch is pretty awesome by the way
