Hello boys,
We have Root thanks to $aur0n and their lovely UrukDroid. I'm running 0.1 and I have been fooling around with getting a Gamepad to work via USB host.
I have a PowerA 3in1, the full keyboard works, no mods no anything, but the gamepad does not. ~~I repeat only the keyboard works.~~
however!~ With Root and a bit of dabbling I found Event5 in /dev/input/
Look for your self, go to terminal with a usb gamepad and type in terminal
'cat /dev/input/event5'
It might be different for you, but mine shows a direct correlation between key presses and text.
so that means we can write a script to capture the gamepad presses and convert them into keypresses... yes?
My Scripting languages suck at best. But I am sure we can get something working seeing how we have root.
Good Luck =)
Note: I am dumb, and I typed ush for usb...
I too had a rough idea about this, didn't act on it though.
My idea involved the JoyDev module though for analog support but I haven't tried anything yet and probably won't. Investigate yourself and let us know!^^
Hello fellow A7 sufferers ;-)
I've got my tablet last week and so far I'm loving it. I got it to do almost everything I need.
But I still need 2 more things:
- Networking proxy system
- Bluetooth DUN (or USB Modem to phone / USB 3G Stick (Modem))
I've searched quite a bit and found some apps, none of them really work as intended on the A7 and some are actually unstable.
Is there anyone with a reliable method to make any of this to work?
Do we know if building the kernel of the git repo will render a usable ko module? or do we need some set of A7's specific patches?
I really thing this device has lots of potencial.
Cheers.
PS: By the way what's that thing of putting the device to sleep means no notifications of alarms nor emails... ? When I put my cellphone to "sleep" or even if it's off I get the alarms to work.

The reason is developers from NVidia. Good hardware but poor programmer skills.
This problem exists at eLocity A7, Toshiba AC100, Point of View Mobii and others devices on tegra 2.

I need Proxy as well. I know that the Galaxy tablet has a proxy setting under Wireless / Advanced, yet ours doesn't somehow. I've worked with Linux/Unix type systems for almost 20 years so I have a very good understanding of their system/subsystems and underlaying configurations. I am curious if the proxy setting/setup is just a quick config change somewhere, as I do not know entirely how the GUI builds it's specific options to present to the user (not sure if they are hard coded, or dynamic based on the configuration files at the system level). I'd love to hear from some DEV that knows more than I, and I might be able to hack something together to open up some other things.

Right, that sounds like many big companies... too many products too quick that would need a couple more moths of cooking in the oven ;-)
What would be really nice is if they would open the code to the comnunity so we could fill in the missing parts. Is there any precedent from NVidia doing that in this context (Android tablet/phone) anyone who may know a contact in there?

I guess first thing would be then to get out hands on a Galaxy Tab rootfs and see what differences it does have to ours... I'm new into the Android internals stuff but I assume that in theese cases as settings and other non-changing "Activities" as they call them, they are probably coded into xml files as UI descriptions... but all that is a wild guess (for now).
One test that I'll try is compiling the git repos kernel using the tegra2 defconfig and see how those modules interact with our device's kernel
Let's see if we get this thing done.
Can someone tell me how to turn off the autocorrect in the Acer w500 tablet input panel? I need to capture the actual writing.
Thanks!
this forum is only for A500 model, not W500. Please use the appropriate channels.
Yep, sorry, all Android here, W500 controls are gonna be waaay different.
the best answer is ... if you doesn't know do not reply this post instead saying..
hey you are a windows user and we are android user...
Operating System are different so system are different... but of course... nobody know how to use windows7....
- first what input you are using... because if you are using the handwriting, of course neeed to be corrected... and you can't use something like recognizing...draw...
but just see in OPTIONS of tablet PC input, and Text Completion
[show predictive alternates...]
can you be more... specific on your question.
does not belong here but
OK this is from memory so could be a bit off
Go to start /accessories look for input pannel. Open that click on setting there is a tab there to turn on and off features.
You can remove it from control panel. Programs and defaults. Will get in the right area
Next time go to Microsoft.com better step by step

UPDATE 10/10: .IPK of qEMU now on Grazzt's website.
WE WILL NOT SUPPLY YOU WITH .IMGs of OPERATING SYSTEMS, IT WOULD BE VIOLATING COPYRIGHT AS WELL AS XDA'S RULES!
Grazzt also has dosbox and GemRB for the touchpad on his website: http://touchpad.grazzt.com/

Windows XP: Not working (tested by grazzt)
Windows NT: Not working (tested by me, it bluescreens and then qEMU crashes)
Windows ME: Working (tested by me)
Windows 3.1: Partially working (tested by me, needs to type "WIN" via a keyboard to launch GUI)
IBM OS/2: Partially working (Boots up, than spits out C:\IBMCOM\PROTOCOL\NETBEUI.OS2 on line 108 of CONFIG.SYS was not installed, Line 108 is ignored. Press Enter to Continue...) It may potentially boot up if we had a virtual keyboard.

FAQ:
Q: Did you make this?
A: No! It was made by a user known as Grazzt (he can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=4289767)
Q: Where are the download links?!
A: If you're talking about a qEMU .IPK, it can be found here: http://touchpad.grazzt.com/qemu/ but if you're talking about operating systems,
you must find them by your own means, I would be violating copyright and XDA's rules if I posted them here. Grazzt won't supply you with these, either, so don't bother him or me about .IMGs.
Q: How do I use this?!
A: If you have to ask this question, you shouldn't be using this, but if you would really like to know: Place your hdd.img in /media/internal/qemu and open qEMU, it should attempt to boot the OS within the .img
Q: Does this run smoothly?
A: For me it does, but on my TouchPad, I have a ton patches to lighten up WebOS, as well as UberKernel, set at 1.5GHz, with the performance governor . It will probably not run as smoothly on a stock TouchPad, but I suggest giving it a try.
Q: Where's my keyboard?!?!
A: A virtual keyboard has not been implemented (yet?).
Q: Does this overtake WebOS?
A: No, it runs in a card, as an application.
Q: WTF is wrong with the mouse?!?!
A: Nothing, the mouse is simply set to relative instead of absolute.
Q: Does sound work?
A: Yes, however, on certain OS's you may have to repeatedly increase and decrease the volume (with the TouchPad's volume rocker) to get it to properly intialize.
qEMU is what used to run win95/98, it is real, but such a hassle to run an outdated OS...not to mention the mouse calibration is wayy off, and none of the internal hardware works (no sound, wifi, opengl etc.)
also, the entire package has to be compiled, it isnt ready to use just by dl'ing it and providing a ripped OS...
its a neat little PoC, but totally not worth it considering ARM Win8 dev is dropping soonishly (hopefully )

speak for yourself.
I'm a tinkerer.
I like diy projects
I do not like being hand-fed.
IT is worth it for me.
Im the "author" (well,ok, compiler) of the projects, and yeah, qemu is sort of lame for the enduser. Just wanted to see if it works and it does. Sound does work, and if I looked hard enough could probably change the mouse settings to be absolute instead of relative. Sad part is because Ive shut down win98 too many times ungracefully, I have registry errors, and too lazy to make a clean hdd image. lol
Cant really distribute it along with hdd imags of windows, Im sure you know why. I believe the freedos images from qemu.org work fine.
Dosemu has also seriously ticked me off, some games see mouse clicks, others dont, its frustrating. If you have a game that sees mouse clicks, I think it runs quite well.
Gemrb runs well, dont know what else can be said about it. Go for the eyes BOO!

WELCOME GRAZZT!
also, i wasnt bashing the project, its indeed clever, and ive see similar projects done befofe, but considering how low end some of the touchpad users here are (hopefully that doesnt last long!) its not novel for regular users.
having said that, it looks like the potential for winxp IS there, but we would have to resort to a minimalized "usb-stick" version with the media touch drivers slipstreamed (which really isnt a bad thing )
and scrizz, im the exact same as you , i dont buy, i diy! that post was more of an initial overview for ppl who just scrub through these posts and ask for links to complete projects and eta's but since the dev is here, im sure the project can advance by leaps and bounds with our help and testing
I cleaned up the original post a little.
"WE WILL NOT SUPPLY YOU WITH .IMGs of OPERATING SYSTEMS, IT WOULD BE VIOLATING COPYRIGHT AS WELL AS XDA'S RULES!"
Not fully true. You can post .img-files of Haiku and various Linux-distro's.

but linux distros probably can be run chroot'd (better performance than qemu emulation)

Hey nice to meet you. You can retake my project, I don't have a Pre anymore also you can use my IMG's if you want, I like people like you . Email me and let's talk.
Hello everyone,
I have been working on a way to run the fusee gelee exploit on my Nvidia Shield K1. I manage to progress and I can copy/read pieces of code to/from the boot ram and I think that I have found the right addresses to smash the stack and jump to my code however things are not going as expected. You can see my progress at:
https://github.com/LordRafa/shofel2/tree/t124
It would be great if anyone with access to a Jetson TK1 could run my code and see what is going on or if anyone can provide any idea.
PS: I think that this should be on the dev forum but I don't have access yet....
