Forgive me if I've overlooked a thread somewhere, but I haven't found one that is quite like this. I'm also somewhat of a noob to XDA.
I had recently flashed the new Taboonay 2.0 HC3.2 ROM on my A500 which is based on the A501 HC3.2 ROM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138051
I also applied richardtrip's Villain 3.0 Kernel on top of Taboonay ("New 3.2 OC-UV kernel" link)

I had read a post by jm77 about the libnvomx.so file from a recent Transformer HC3.2 release
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16957501&postcount=22
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16958822#post16958822
Imagine my surprise when I rebooted after putting the new libnvomx library in and my camera didn't FC!! I fired up Netflix and it streamed!! Then I went to record my findings for a sanity check, and found that when I switched the camera from the front to the back, it FC'd like normal. Then the camera/camcorder apps would FC as they had before with all previous hacks.
I figured that it had to have something to do with the front-camera. I compared the preferences for the camera to that of my other A500 and found the setting that stored which one was in use last. I found that I could change the value in the XML file and get the camera app to start back up with the front-facing camera. As soon as it is switched over to the rear camera it would FC. Why? What is the difference?
Has anyone seen this before on previous Netflix hacks, or are we getting closer to cracking this nut? Maybe I'm jumping the gun, but I was very excited - and am still happy to have a way to be able to take a picture without having to reset the libnvomx.so file back to the original.
I don't mind looking at myself - but it would be nice to have both cameras and Netflix working how they should.
Rear vs Front Facing Preference:
/data/data/com.android.camera/shared_prefs/com.android.camera_preferences.xml:
Code:
[..]
<string name="pref_camera_id_key"> X </string>
[..]
Where X is:
0 = Rear Camera
1 = Front Camera
Attached is the logcat at the time of the switch-over from the front to the rear camera with the new libnvomx.so file in use.

Not sure about the camera issue and libnvomx.so, but Netflix and Cameras work properly with the APKs in this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16967919&postcount=41
Let me know if those help.
You're awesome jm77! Works perfect!
Thank you so much for pointing me to that post.......... Now to test all of the other "issues" with the prop change.
Patch is no different than before
Regular Camera works but Camcorder still force closes but yes netflix streams but the old patch worked as well.
I get no FC's at all, switching between camera, camcorder, front, back...it all works. The only problem I found was the streaming was upside down!! Then I realized I was holding the tablet "upside down"....*doh*....how do I report that bug???
Any thoughts on why I am still get the FCs

Same boat here. I figure I use Netflix more than the camcorder so until there is a fix, I will just live with it.

Am I correct in assuming that this causes my A500 to show up as a Xoom in the market? Running Taboonay 2.0 with richardtrip's kernel. Only other mod is the Netflix patch from above post.

It appears so. I see that now in my account profile settings - I have "My Devices" showing:
Unnamed Device Verizon Xoom - August 25, 2011 August 25, 2011
Unnamed Device Acer A500 - August 19, 2011 July 24, 2011
I do not see additional apps in the market, however.
In Settings, I now show up as below in the main about:
Model: Xoom
Android version: 3.2
Baseband version: Unknown
Kernel version: 2.6.36.4.HoneyVillian-1.1+
Build number: HTJ85B.US_epad-8.6.5.6-20010726
Where I had shown up with a Build number of "Taboonary 2.0 (4.015_COM_GEN1)" before the build.prop change (the defaults of the 1st post' combination).
I will note that build.props hack does kill the "Device Information" in Settings' About output. A fine price to pay to have everything "almost" all working: I can't seem to get the games included with the stock A500 ROM working even though I could with previous 3.2 ROMs.
You will also have to put up with the deception that your tablet has 3.g support until you modify the filesystem. Not really an issues as this sounds like it will be the same for any A500/A501 ROM. The Tools App included with Taboonay can easily help one to change their tablet into WiFi only mode. (Maybe a desire for someone with a USB 3g/4g aircard?)

And does your rear camera still force close for video since the netflix patch?
With this patch the camera no longer crashes , both video and still work and so does netflix.
still no rear camera
extract the file and use root explorer to replace it.
I am running PRIMEE_AcerIconia-p9-5a.zip
Some of you may have seen the new DIY Pogo Dock one of the forum members created:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2233894
I'm thinking about buying one but ideally would pair the dock up with some good apps to run while it is docked. Pictures or a clock or both would be nice if they came up once you docked the N10. Can anyone recommend any good"docked" apps?

Daydream under Display settings can do both, and more depending on what the ROM implements (Team EOS's ROM has some other setting afaik). Can choose to have it show during charging as well as docked.
Thanks. It says you can pull pictures from your dropbox. Is that in Google Drive?

I think I figured it out, but Google makes it a little confusing. For pictures it looks like you can store them in Google Drive, Google Photos, and Google Picassa. Google Photos is the one that has the Dropbox. Once I upload files there they show up on my tablet...pretty neat. This would be especially nice working with a cradle, Daydream, and the N10.
However, I did some testing. I chose the option in Daydream for the photos to be displayed when charging, but when I start charging nothing happens? Does it possibly have to be charging from the Pogo and not the mUSB?
How about using an nfc tag to trigger an app when the nexus is in the dock.

Hey community,
Does anyone have a solution for this..
I use a rooted Nexus 4 with Cyanogenmod 11 m1.
It is rooted, has busybox & secure settings.
My complete software is up to date and my device works now with ART.
But this shouldn't really matter
I use HDMI (Arliberator) for my Appradio & HDMI for my Home-Entertaiment (music) too.
And i like to customize the sound with Viper4Android, but there is no menu .. The menu for the phone speaker is working with HDMI, but there are'nt many options..
And they aren't usefull..
Does anyone have an idea?
Can change any variable for Aux in my Tasker-task for arliberator.. Maybe Viper4Android then will think, it is a Aux-connection
Or does anyone know a modificated version with more panels?
Pleaaaase..
Give me idea's and/or solution's.
And sorry for my english

Have you hit menu and then hit change ui and changed to to expert. There are more options. Don't know if you'll be able to get it to do what you want.

Hey,
That was my first step after the installation of the drivers
Hi everyone,
Can't really find this question anywhere, maybe I haven't looked hard enough.
Basically I have managed to use a video capture card combined with a OTG cable to use my Samsung as a monitor for my games.
My question is, do you think there is any possible way reverse the way a MHL cable works and use it to actually receive video data instead of send it?
See video attached of my video capture working on my android. It's pretty cool!

(^^^ can somebody please attach this video as I do not have enough posts to attach links)
Thanks!

Probably not possible... There is a reason a monitor is the input device and the phone is output.
It would probably be easier to figure out how to do it wirelessly such as through WiFi Direct as then you have Software obstacles not hardware.
After introducting the new features in screen cast function in miui10 beta, the screen cast function seems to be broken (Attached screenshot, stays at that screen). It is not able to find Smart TV on same network.
But apps like youtube, google photos are able to find my TV on network and cast to it.
Anyone else facing the same problem ?
Any solutions and suggestions are welcome..

Went through a few posts on mi forum, seems it's a issue with miracast.
P.s. i switched to custom rom and will stay till this is fixed...
any update on screencasting fix?
Im rooted but prefer to stick with stock rom (my apps cast too but no screencasting...wouldnt have bought another new xiaomi given theres no hardwire video out solution had I known I couldn't cast wirelessly.
thanks!!
Solution found on Poco F1 with MIUI 11.0.5.0 Global Stable
Hey,
I found a solution for the problem.
The new Cast-function also doesn't find my Chromecast.
But the old function is still there. Phone is NOT rooted.
I managed to place a shortcut on homescreen with Nova Launcher. With Nova you can place a shortcut that starts almost any Android-activity by your choice.
1. Use Nova, tap longly on homescreen, then choose Widgets and there Nova activities
2. Then you scroll to Settings, tap on it, scroll either to Wifi-Display (Settings$Miracast Settings Activity) or Streaming (Settings$WifiDisplaySettingsActivity) and choose one of them
3. Restart your phone
If you don't want to use Nova check for other apps that can choose Android activities and place them on the Homescreen.
Questions welcome.
I am also experiencing the same issue with my Xiaomi Mi9 on MIUI Global 11.0.2
thanks for the shortcut tip but that is NOT my problem. there is no probel finding my chromecast or clicking connect. connect responds but goes back to the selection scrreen which is precisely the same problem all owners of recent xiaomi phone users of stock Mi ron are experiencing. Xiaomi needs to fix this no one else can. my earlier xiaomi devices pre- Android pie have no casting issues. xiaomi wanted to be samsung ... maybe they've arrived judging from the fact that they too are fine with updates crippling phone functionality.
Shortcut works with my phone

The difference is, that I get the former functionality, and I can cast my screen directly without any third party app and absolutely stable, as it was on MIUI 10.
So, maybe give it a trial.
Hello ,
came here to confirm screen cast does not work on mi9se also after miui 11 update.
Toggle comes off after you set it to on, and it never searches for any devices. I mean not even a search dialog pops up.
Tottaly worthless..

hi! same problem here. I found out after trying a few things that the problem is caused by My TV wired connection. when I connect My TV through the same wifi network as My phone, the Screencast of Miui 11 works just fine( Even better than in Miui 10 i'd Say) and i don't need any other app.
what do You think? could it be any other solution?
Seems to depend on device

It seems to be, that some devices work and some not. My Chromecast is connected to the same WiFi network as my phone. But it doesn't work with the new functionality. It's quite weird, that I find my neighbors TV, that's NOT connected to my network (at least I hope so :cyclops
So far I think, it's a question of streaming technology. As long as your device supports Miracast, it works fine. If the device uses another technology as for example Google Cast, it doesn't work.

Update:
I follow this steps and made it work, at least in my case:
1) I connect my tv through wifi instead of using the wired connection.
2)I tryed the cast option of miui 11 and it found my tv at once.
3) Once again a i connect my tv using the wired connection.
4)I tryed the cast opcion of miui but this time, instead of letting it search for the tv, i select the tv from de recent device list and it worke just fine.

It will connect if ur tv supports miracast.
1. I have already connected through wifi and miui cast didn't recognise it as my tv had Chromecast receiver.
2. Google apps like YouTube, photos, and video players like MX player are able to find my tv, but not the cast function of miui.
