Awesome, love my XM.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

Just tried it a bit. I'm on Fresh 3.2. It used to not even connect, just say "Aquiring Data Connection"
With this update it plays and doesn't loop, but it sure does jump and skip quite a bit. Guess it's a start....
Only Froyo ROM I've ever gotten SXM to work right on is CM6 - which I don't wanna go back to.

Nice thanks for the update. I guess signing up on their webpage for an update email was pointless.

Well thats how I found out they emailed me. Also make sure you dont have the stagefright fix since I am also running Fresh 3.2 and had to switch back to stock stagefright files in order for it to play properly.
1 hr running and no problems so far... Thanks XM

Please tell me what you did to stagefright. I know Flipz made some changes to it but I don't know how to undo them. In my build.prop the player is enabled and it still skips a lot.
Thanks!!

I am using Fresh 3.2 and the new SiriusXM app is working fine for me. I'd say about 3 skips every hour or so. I actually only use this for Bloomberg and CNBC - I much prefer slacker and pandora for music, so a couple of skips is no big deal for me.
What I desperately can't figure out is how to record a live stream off the sound card (for lack of a better term). All recording apps seem to use the microphone only. Any ideas so that I can listen to specific CNBC shows like Kudlow on my ride home?

Just extract the stagefright files from your original rar file and then ad push or copy and paste with Root explorer into the system/lib folder overwriting the files that are there now
Then replace the build.prop with the one from your original rom rar file as well.
I WIll try and attached them here for you.... what rom are you running

Actually, after a reboot, I'm finding no skips at all as well.

Hate to bump this thread up again, but seemed like the best place to post rather than making a new thread.
Is anybody having issues with SXM 1.1 and connecting in the past couple of days? Its worked flawlessly for me since the update, and I've been happy with it again. However, now, on startup, the application hangs on "Checking for Updates".
Tried clearing data, uninstall/reinstall, and hard reset fresh install. All no dice.
Anybody else having issues?

[Q] Skype for Elocity A7

Hi guys,
I am new here and forgive me if I am asking something that was already discussed before.
Is there a way to install Skype on this device? I tried to go to Skype android section and download it from there but it always requesting phone number and type....
Regards

I FOUND A WAY TO FAKE OUT SKYPE!!!!
1st off let me start, i have the 1.0c mod added to my A7, and i extracted the vending .apk for 2.2.6 marketplace from the update zip found here on xda, cleared out the cache and data, and FC the marketplace, then installed the apk like a normal program, so i have an updated marketplace as well...
but like most of us at this point, when we try and logon to skype it gets caught in a loop...
im very short on time, so ill be quick... ive also got an N1 running cryo 6.1
i get to the login screen for skype for both devices, i have my GF's account entered on the A7 and my account entered on the N1, both have WiFi turned on, i press signon on both devices at the exact same time, and the A7 gets pasted the loop and logs on to skype, i have to very quickly logoff of skype on the N1, and the A7 works!
it does cause a lot of FC's but atleast its progress, and maybe a direction for the devs to look into....
ill give much more detailed walkthru when i get back tonight, or maybe tomorrow...

Whats wrong with skype? I logged into skype and made a phone call to my house with no trouble except when i tried to end the call, it locked up.

My Skype sits at logging in forever. What version of Skype are you running fisher?

Where did you find Skype android version to download? ...and I believe that it is in Skype interest to fix the bugs and make it work on Elocity or any other android device using WiFi or 3G...
Regards

Help - Skype
Same issue - trying to use Skype downloaded from Marketplace (A7 using Dexter version 1c) - seems to be stuck with getting logged in - got it to work once, but I am not able to repeat - please advise ...........thanks - Love the A7 just wish I could address these shortcoming

Installed Skype 1.02 for Android build 1.0.0.659...cannot make it work ...whenever I try to log in it stops working ..sometimes it shows the message "logging in" but it cannot complete the atsk...Have anybody made Skype work on Elocity?
Thanks

as stated earliler i have been able to get skype running on several occasions...
skype currently does not have a valid electronic signature for the tablet, or the tablet the build.prop was copied from...
that is why when we attempt to logon to skype, its checking for the signature, getting caught because it is getting mixed signals from our device and getting stuck in the 'loop'
but my N1 does have a valid signature... which i think is why skype is getting faked out when both devices are logging on from the same wireless network... the signature is going out from my N1, and the tablet is logging on...

Interesting...Unfortunately I do not have phone to use it to log at the same time...and I am trying to do it over WIFI
I bet you Skype will fix it eventualy
Regards

just a quick note.
it has been written in forum for a long time, that Skype somehow is protected from being used over mobile data connections.. im not sure how that affect regular users, but they have done something for US users to protect against Skype use. but this was all primarily on mobiles, im not sure how this fits into a tablet being used.

You may be right...the Android so far was always connected with the smartphones...tablets are very new thing and have been coming out only in last 6 +/- months with latest version iteration of 2.1, 2.2 ans hopefully this summer 3.0.
Regards

Skype works...decided to try it again after all this time and it works

skype works fine with ElocityMod v1.3 , but again in US, coming from a USA ip address you might be blocked by Skype, so a signin is not possible.
but its works and i can call using elocity here (from Denmark)

Weird. I'm in Russia
I installed Market by self (it isn't hard for me) and don't use DexterMod yet)
There are some difference, maybe some libraries absent.
Will install DM and check soon.

In Canada, Skype works fine. Now if only Skype had video calling everything would be golden.

thats explains it.. the build.prop of official rom is not approved by Skype so it fails.. you need a different rom install or "steal it from my mod", it will solve it you dont want the new version.

Grooveshark work around

Has anyone been able to find a way to use the Grooveshark desktop site without getting the "problem loading flash" error? I have read having flash 10.2 installed and using the Dolphin browser set to desktop user agent would work, but so far have had no luck on my Xoom or D1 without getting the error message. Also tried Skyfire and the stock browser with the about:debug trick, no dice. Anyone had any better luck, or other solutions that worked?

Have you tried TinyShark on the market?

Yeah that's what I have been using lately, but I would like to be able to load my playlists and everything from the grooveshark desktop site.

Am i missing something? Why not use the Grooveshark app in the market?

Oh ok, makes sense. I forgot i'm subscribed already.

Tinyshark lets you load your playlists too. The only benefit to the Grooveshark player is the offline cache ability. I tried it for a month and Tinyshark fit my needs just fine without paying $9 a month. When it was $3 a month it may have been worth it but triple the price and I'm out.

I think everyone that has replied has missed the point, I also am wondering if there has been a work around or if anyone is working on it, I think that with a tablet, we should be able to hit the real site and have flash work, why would we need to pay for an app or get an app that is made for small phones when we should be able to just go to the website.
I wish I was smarter with these dev things and I could work on it but I dont have the time to learn.
Hopefully someone that is reads this and wants the same thing, I love gooveshark but being that it is free from my desktop, I am not really wanting to pay for an app....
just my just my .02, thanks

Good luck man, I am hoping the update to the flash player will maybe work, but aside that I have had no luck in getting the desktop site to work on the Xoom and just started using the TinyShark app in the market. Not nearly as nice, but I will take what I can get until someone figures this out.

Flash also reports the client platform/OS, independent of the browser user agent, when connecting to a streaming server. I don't use Grooveshark, so I don't know if this is the reason you get the error, but it's a strong possibility.
Some people have had success with opening a file in Flash (first honeycomb release) in a hex editor and replacing the string "AND" (Android) with "WIN" (Windows). There were also some high jinks to get the change to persist, but a modified APK was made available that seemed to work for some users to access Hulu. I haven't followed it lately, but you could probably find more info searching for "flash for hulu".
EDIT: Here's the link: [MOD] Flash 10.2 Working HULU Updated: 4/29/11
Best case scenario is that someone has put out a modded APK for the current Flash release that also works with Grooveshark. If not, there might be another, less elegant solution.

I'm still debating on which tablet to buy xoom,asus or wait for newer models.
Does the GS app work on the honeycomb? Atrix users was complaining on their forums so that's why I'm asking

any solution to enable Hulu on the Iconia Tab A500?

Hi;
wondering if anyone was able to have Hulu work on A500?
I tried the post in XZoom section and it didnt work... although my A500 is rooted.
here is the OP for Xzoom (also it has many issues even on the Xzoom):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1060374
Then I installed the original flash and pushed the modified .so file into data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib and it didn't work... the browsers do not even detect the flash player at all.
any help will be highly appreciated.
thanks

For now, Playon app installed on both PC and Tablet. It has a fee per month. Playon will take you to a hulu backboor to watch hulu shows
2nd option is TV Show Streams, free it is not Hulu but it has A LOT of TV shows many of which is on Hulu and many which are not.

Gents,
There is a "Hulu Patch" for the G-Tablet in their forum.

ajarmeh104,
When I told you the above, I told you
everything I know!!!
Obviously it is for the G-Tab, but I don't
know if the changes needed for Hulu are
the same for both Android tablets or
whether they are brand specific.
I just thought someone who knows what
they are doing might want to check it out.

You can also buy a lifetime subscription. It's now $79.99, but as an early supporter, I got it for $39.99 ! I use it to stream to my PS3 as well, so it's been worth it.

I have had no luck with the Xoom fix. It looks like they are needing to load a custom kernal to get their Hulu fix to work and I 'm not sure I want to try loading that on the A500. If the Xoom guys can figure out why they need that custom kernal then perhaps we'll get a better fix for Hulu.
I also have a g tablet and tried the Hulu fixed flash I use successfully on that tab on the A500 but not luck.

thank you

i will look at the above posts and compare it to what was similarly done on the evo and see what I can come up with. O, the evo it only appeared to work on 10.1
If I get a day off this week I will see what I can do

honestly it's really easy. I don't know why people seem to go through all the trouble of custom kernels and such. Is it a secret? are we trying to hide that we can access hulu so that they won't wise up? It's literally as easy as replacing one file using root explorer and changing the permissions to rxwr--xr--xr. I've used it on my captivate with froyo, then the captivate with gingerbread and now the acer iconia with honeycomb. If you search the forums you should find the file.

i am not sure why a custom kernal would be required other than hardware exceleration which the a500 would not need. It should just take the so file that has been modified to fool hulu into thinking you are on a windows desktop and all should work fine
I also have a modified hulu apk I use. If I have time tomorrow I will check it out

just replace libflashplayer.so!!
I replaced the libflashplayer.so with the one modified for hulu on the Thunderbird and it works just fine. Just do a search in the Forum you'll find it with instructions.

also aside from playon, splashtop is a cheap way to remote into a computer and be able to watch hulu, either way you will have to leave a computer on at home. But splashtop is one time charge of five dollars.
I love it will my htpc and be able to remote and update libraries or predownload a movie

Alternate option for streaming Hulu on Iconia a500
This is only a suggestion… no disrespect intended to those who are working on helping us find solutions to the Acer Iconia a500.
I am a noob, who was frustrated to learn that Google is blacklisting users who have rooted devices, and I just wanted to have Hulu on my tablet, like I have on my phone. I have found that Splashtop remote from the market will successfully stream Hulu and Netflix for those who are interested.
It is a paid app, but for someone not wanting to root right now, it seems like a good option- so I thought I would put this out there in case anyone else is frustrated with their choices.
Again, No disrespect intended, I just wanted to offer this since the other option I read about on here “PlayOn” does not seem to work, and it is $79.99 verses $9.99.

I made the leap to try Splashtop. I dont mind rooting my machine but it a pain over time and generally just irritation follows. My purpose in thus post is to point out that unless I ended up with. a slow or broken machinr splashtop is far from an exceptable answer. Its slow and super choppy when streaming video, correct me if im wrong and youve seen acceptable connections but id like to save you the $10, the app is cool but not a good solution for this discussion. Additionally to note is its a comole take over of the remote machine, you can't use your tablet while someone else uses teh computer you are remoting to

CM7 on Kindle Fire

I Just flash CM7 in my kindle fire and there is 2 probles:
1. Sound don't work.
2. HW Video codec don't work.
Sorry for this forum, i can't post in development forum yet.

Not sure if you noticed but.that.cm7 is only about 2 hours old. So it will probably be awhile until more information comes out about side effects. Times like this patience is a virtue.

Yep, sounds like there may be a flag that needs to be thrown in the build props to get the hardware acceleration going and JackpotCalvin appears to be looking at the sound issue.
I too am new as well to post in the dev thread and wanted to ask if anyone has checked to see if the bluetooth A2DP stuff works (that's the item that I'm really wanting)

it does not matter for me now, my kindle die...

Can you be more specific?
//Tapatalk.EVO3D//

ok - so I got cm7 running, looks great - market fc's.
Read the thread on this, dl'ed and installed - cleared cache. Market runs, finds app, when i click install - fc's. I don't know what to do from here. i have most of my apps sideloaded, but missing a few i would like, and yeah. Sure this will be covered eventually, but somebody has to mention it first. Ideas?

Have you tried the market install method that worked on the stock fire?
//Tapatalk.KindleFire//

yeah - i did. I hadnt rebooted though, so I tried it, recleared the cache, still having some issues. The main thing that was getting in my way was being able to get vending.apk into the system/apps since i didnt have an explorer with root sideloaded, but i found a version of androxplorer and sideloaded that to get everything done. I saw someone's fix to hardware acceleration by editing build.prop, i wanted to use sql editor to do it from fire, but its a purchase file and so it would be easiest to get through market. I got android market on laptop to sync it to my kindle though, apparently.

Someone posted a Market-3.1.1.apk file. Did you try that?
//Tapatalk.KindleFire//

Don't have a Kindle Fire, as I won't get one until either there's support for Amazon services in my area (Spain) or there's a decent recovery and Cyanogen port for it. I use CM7.1.0 on my HTC Desire GSM, and I'm not going back to stock, ever.
Now, the fire is kind of low priority for me, as I already have an Asus Transformer (not yet rooted, as I haven't found it necessary. Might do that once CM9 comes out though)

If market keeps on fc'ing, you can try bookmarking market.android.com and select the app there, should download and install onto your Fire without needing to open the Market app.

Loving the CM7 build so far (no sound is a bit of a downer, but still). I do have a question, though: installing CM7 apparently decided to change my Wi-Fi MAC. Is there any way I can change it back?

Sounds like this cm7 shouldn't of been released as it needs more tweaks still.

No. The more people we have playing with it that know what they're doing, the faster we'll get to something more stable. What it really sounds like is people shouldn't be so impatient and flash the first thing that pops up on these forums.

So far everything seems great, obviously other than sound. I've heard youtube messes up but I haven't tried. All in all I would have to say great job by Calvin on giving our Kindles some CM7 love a few weeks after they were out.

I think the youtube issue can be fixed by editing the build.prop.
