Hey guys,
I asked in the apps section about bluex. that I tried to use it to transfer files from my phone to a samsung behold and they told me to type this in the terminal:
mv /data/app/bluetoothFileshare.apk /data/app-private/
but when i did It says:
failed on '/data/app/bluetoothFileshare.apk' - No such file or directory
__________________
mv /data/app/com.alex.BluetoothFileshare.apk /data/app-private
this is case sensitive
enjoy
same thing
samething happened...
failed on '/data/app/com.alex.BluetoothFileshare.apk' - No such file or directory
does it matter that I have cyanogen v3.5.2 and my apps are on my sdcard?
isnt bluex automatically in the app-private folder?
so....
Is there something I have to do to get it to work with the samsung behold? Or does it just not work with that phone?
the behold would have to be rooted to receive files...i dont know if it works for just sending files
as far as i am aware the behold isnt even android powered so i dont know how you would expect it to work (in which case negate my last statement)
try this on the g1
cd /data/app/
ls (this will list all the files in that directory)
look for anything relating to bluetooth
mv /data/app/*filename.apk*/data/app-private/
hopefully with apps2sd it will all work out with the sym links
personally i dont use apps2sd so this could be the root of your troubles
instead of this code you could try a "root file browser"
and then im sure you would be able to cut and paste from one folder to another
out of curiosity, did u get bluex from a 3rd party source or the market? if it was the market i doubt there would be any problem (but where is the fun in that?)
good luck
oh, one little note...
if in the unlikely event something screws up n u need to reflash or anything else along those lines, please dont blame me
(im sure you wouldnt anyway, but just incase)
Gonna put my two cents in on this btw.
I'm trying to "pirate" this app (install it after getting a refund from the market. If I give up or succeed in "pirating the app", I'm going to rebuy it), for the sole reason I enjoy a challenge.
I believe that the app is infact not looking for whether a copy is in the app-private folder, but in the app folder.
Let me explain;
You install bluex from the market, it goes to app-private.
you give the application root permissions, and it checks to see whether there is a copy of it in the app folder. No copy, runs fine.
You install the app from an outside source. The install goes to the app folder. You copy the .apk to the app-private folder. The application looks for a copy of itself in the app folder, and OH NOES! it's there, and blocks all access to itself.
Is there anyway to adb an install to the app-private folder?
also, if the app locks itself, uninstall it, then *reinstall,* otherwise, even if you manage to succeed in installing the application and circumventing the security protection, you'll still be locked out of the application.
Bluex solution
this is how i did it - avoiding having to manually do anything
download version 1.1.2 here
rename it to com.alex.BluetoothFileshare.apk (case sensitive)
then stick it on your SD
then download SUFB (super user file browser) here
install this via watever method you normally do (personally i use ESTRONGS File Browser - free from the market)
open SUFB and navigate to /sdcard, find bluex and long press it and select copy and then navigate back to /data/app-private
press menu and select "mount /data RW" then paste bluex into app-private
press menu and select "mount /data R" to stop you screwing anything up by accident
reboot (not necessarily compulsory but it didnt work for me without it even tho bluex did appear in the dash thingie)
after reboot open bluex, enable bluetooth, enable server and enjoy
hope this helps
(the first time i did do this all in the terminal but was too lazy to type it after a couple of reflashes)
what i did find strange was that when doing a straight "mv ....." it worked without remounting RW but when using the file browser it wouldnt work without the remount
enjoy
i do encourage anyone who tries this to buy the app - i too did it for the challenge and then bought it (after my last reflash) (i was paranoid that after a reflash that i had schedualed that i would have to pay for it again). it is a great app and the developer deserves the £1.50
sorry, the links have been removed (for obvious reasons). google for droid appz and you will find a great site with some tips, tricks and appz
what phones does it work with?
does bluex only work with other g1's and android phones? or can you fileshare with blackberry's, iphones, etc.
iv not sent or received from any other phones (im in thailand now and none of my friends have bluetooth, poor them....) but it works great with my computer and the piece of crap dongle in both directions
so i dont see why it wouldnt work with other phones...its just and implimentation of the OBEX standard that is used for both infrared and bluetooth OBject EXchange
enjoy

well I've tried with my friend and girlfriends behold and it will pair but not connect to it. and I'm the only one of my friends that have a g1, they're all iphone junkies :thumbsdown:
as far as i am aware the iphone still cant send or receive via bluetooth just like the g1
i dont think it was introduced in the new firmware upgrade
try it with someone who uses a real phone, not a jumped-up mp3 player
i can pair with my computer but not connect unless its for file transfer
the g1 and iphone only really connect to handsfree kits etc...
try sending something to your computer or something like that, it should work
also, double check that you have server enabled
once you have sent or received from one device, you can set it to automatically accept from that device on all occasions
Bluex>Options>Remote devices options>*device*>automatically accept files
i've been able to send and recieve files from my other phones sony erricson's and random other phones on the bus etc
Root has nothing to do with sending and receiving bluetooth. the only reason you need root on android is because the profile(obex) needed to exchange files is not "built-in" to android. In order to support this profile, the developer probably programmed his app to change read-only files, and that would be why the g1 requires root for obex. phones that ACTUALLY support obex don't require root/superuser/administrative privledges. So in other words, you don't need root for obex unless you're using android.
You guys shouldnt be openly discussing pirating applications. Thats not nice, and you are posting on a DEVELOPER forum. What's wrong with you guys?

Pirated programs IS NOT allowed on this forum.
Meaning if you have to pay for a program, you can not offer it to someone for free.
Warning offered.
my apologies
warning accepted
wont happen again
Idk what ur trying to do but my wifes memoir works flawless with this app and a g1. She can send and receive files from my fone with no problem.

im well aware that phones that already support OBEX dont require root. i hadnt heard of the samsung he was talking about and thought it may have been a soon-to-be android phone...it was released under a different name here and i had interpreted the question as being that the phone ran (or was going to run) android. a simple mistake anyone could make when google is acting up (probably more the ISP than google but you get the point)
as for openly discussing pirated apps, i dont see a problem with it personally as i do things on a try-before-you-buy basis....i know it was stupid posting the links and i apologized for that and the links were removed

great. proof it works... iv still only tested it with my laptop
My tablet was runnin dexter mod 1.4 with all the patches, buy always had problems with the sd card and the usb thumb and I also had problems running some applications. Right now my A7 is running [mod] update04-19 patched market + google apps and my tablet is working almost perfect. I think this mod is better that dexter mode.
I hope everybody use this mode in their tablets.
Thanks Bestialbub for your great job.
i jus got my elocity a7
i tried to mod mine with the dexter mod 1.41 and mines wont work,
1st- i download the file didn't unzip it then i sent it to the SD card and rename it "update.zip".
2nd- i did the factory wipe/reset then i select to wipe all data
3rd- i select update.zip but i notice an message saying( E. can't read from SD card). i dont know if that is apart of the mod or what.
4th- when it is finish then i select reboot option and when it is done rebooting i get nothing new. can you help me out are do you know something that i might be doing wrong. i also did do the 1.42 patch aswell didn't work. are is there another mod that you can tell me how to get it.
hasn't been tested for application on dexter's rom, though i don't know of reason they shouldn't work. gapps can be flakey like that; actually, the files are all stock as they come from cyanogen, minus my patched market, which doesn't have any reason not to work on dexter's rom and has nothing to to with the installation of the rest of google applications, including the calendar and text messaging services; i introduced no signature issues else it wouldn't install on stock firmware.
what i can suggest, is that if you're doing this under wiped conditions; is that you need to do a "factory reset" in recovery AFTER applying my gapps update.
if you don't do the factory reset, there will be settings put in place by the provision.apk in dexter's rom (not sure if this has changed in 1.42) that may conflict with the setup of google-apps. it didn't w/ the gapps in v1 i ported from dexters rom in previous tests, but i was going for a vanilla install w/out mixed signatures/versions/dates. provision.apk is generally suggested to be removed when google-apps is intended to be installed, and it is by my installer, but not the changes done in the data folders, which is why the wipe is suggested. i think its role is replaced by the googlepartnersetup.apk, but i could be wrong.
theres also some build prop differences; some unnecessary (gsm provider info), some improved (fingerprint for added apps in addition to patched market and added permissions), and the same ones necessary for apps like skype to run.
sorry if that was too much info. i do that.
EDIT: i reviewed my original post, its step *2B*. i did update it to underline it, and provide explanation for its probable necessity.

Audio fix, which enhances EQUlizer and probably a 10% audio increase, and rotation support for games is another one..
the gsm props were actually very much needed, as Google for a period enabled provider checking, so if no gsm provider was there, you could not activate a google account, so instead of ppl getting lost without MarketEnabler on a clean device, i included it for safety reasons so next time, we're prepared for such checks.. so it all serves a purpose, if you like to know more, XDA has excellent information on those topics.

thanks for the tip. i did concede i could be wrong, and you're right, i could find that small detail that setupwizard is known to replace functions for provision.apk. the same posts i'm finding on xda and cyanogenmod don't say anything about googlepartnersetup, however, yet its provided with gapps packages..
i also learn from demonstrated and practiced examples..
demonstrated examples i learned from, including your 1.2 rom shows your remove provision.apk and provide googlepartnersetup.apk, then reverse the decision in 1.4, i ASSUME based on signiture issues you had stated (i generally don't have those as i know i can re-use existing containers without having signature issues).
i also learned/ported from various sdk's, including google's sdk for gapp imports, and neither is required, but what is provided is sdksetup.apk.. me seeing a relation from sdksetup for an sdk/emu android device kinda indicates one might want googlepartnersetup as a counterpart on a physical device. (your 1.4 example does prove that doesn't have to be true).. but the google sdk shows that i don't need setupwizard.apk for google services either.
thought i'd relate, since most the general posted information i've seen on xda and cyanogenmod seem like vague gueses at best. though i suspect the people posting this information aren't necessarily the devs working closely with the files. just hobbists and modders making educated guesses like me.

i was refering to MY gsm provided build prop information, i wasn't ragging on your build prop or rom addons. i followed suit to the gtab tnt modrom and added DIFFERENT gsm provider information than yourself (service provider id, not google client information). but it made no difference in gapps present demonstrated performance as this information DOES NOT (the stuff i provided/borrowed from tntlite) get passed into the android system or database files, as no service provider id is listed when opening marketaccess.apk, as it does on a phone device that does genuinely have this information.
i do concede to the thread discussion, tho, DEXTERS ROM IS THE BEST AND ONLY FULL ROM MOD FOR THE A7 TABLET!!!
my gapps mod is only intended to provide google applications ommitted by the manufacture. nothing more.
thanks for the indirect market patching instructions!
thanks am going to retry and see what happends

Had the same issues, so i found the trick to be adding it in the boot.img using the default.prop, and it is added during bootup.. but now we're OT! so let's leave it at that.
a7 installation problem
these are the exat message i got (E:can't open/usb/update.zip)
(E:Can't mount USB:update.zip)
then underneath that it say (Finding update package)
then it say (Wait for 5 second)
(Installation time out)
(installation aborted)
(Formatting MISC)
these are all the thing it say during installation

That is not a mod it's the factory firmware with a patch to get market, I don't see in what way it is better than Dexter mod.

When this happen I remove the .zip from file name or just rename the file but most time removing. .zip does the job...
This is a project I've been working on and off since I got my MotoACTV several months ago. A port of AOSP android for the MotoACTV.
What works:
- Wifi
- Audio
- Bluetooth (limited)
- Backlight level and leds.
- FM Radio.
- GPS.
- Accelerometer.
- all google apps
- most android functions. This is GingerBread 2.3.4.
What doesn't work (yet):
- Audio input
- native codecs, no video playing with stock players.
- HW acceleration
- some other things...
This is a work in progress yet, I just felt it reached a point where it's starting to be usable, so I'm releasing them as previews.
systemPreview13.img.zip 25/jan/2013
systemPreview18.img.zip 29/jan/2013 fixed battey icons, slightly improvement in video reproduction
That file is only the system image, it needs to be flashed with fastboot or ClearD's Image Flasher. The MotoACTV needs to be wiped. You need a boot image from the latest Motorola based roms, such as DPRom9.
No questions will be answered at this point. This is not finished, if you don't know how to install this, then wait for a more finished version. I already know most problems with this rom, please, no bug reporting, or improvement suggestion yet.
This is completely build from sources except for some non-open source binaries related to the hardware of the MotoACTV.
I am making the needed files to build this available to anyone who wants to give it a try and help. Atarii from the irc channel is already contributing.
https://github.com/dproldan
What can you do to help/contribute?
Post information that you feel could be usefull for other users. Apps that you have tried and found working, etc.
If you find a problem and know the solution, post about it.
During the development of this ROM, I bricked my dev MotoACTV. If you want to encourage development, use the donate button!
Enjoy!
Looking good, keep up the good work!

...Is this really happening??? ^_^
Will donate some cash come payday in a couple days. This is unreal.
So I'm excited. Thanks!
This looks amazing. I would guess no Motorola launcher and actv functions?
Either way I'm incredibly excited and will do my best to provide any productive feedback that I can.
donated 10 bucks to the motoactv fund
Me too $10 to dproldan, keep up the great work! It will be great if u could update your other ROM as well pls.
bluetooth audio
Did anyone try if audio-in (microphone) works with bluetooth headsets? It would be amazing if I could make calls with skype on this rom.
Update: I bought a mono bluetooth (non a2dp) headset and tried it with this rom and Atarii's boot.img with bluetooth profiles. Pairing was successful but neither microphone nor audio worked. I installed the BTmono app to make the headset accessible to apps other than the dialer (which works perfekt on my phone), but no sucess on the motoactv.
Can someone give some feedback on this rom especially if we can install run keeper? Thank
you

I don't think dp is going to share any info on this one until he is further along. You could flash it and see how it goes. If you don't like it you could always go back to beta9 or whatever else you like.
No posts in a while, this project still active? Or dare I say... actv? ha ha ok bad joke.
Just busy with other things...

This looks great, but is it possible to get Market on it? I downloaded the APK, but when I open Play Store it tells me I will now add a google account to the device, but when I click Yes, I get returned to home-screen..
EDIT: I see in the pictures you attached, you have Play Store, so I guess i must have done something wrong?
You have to install gapps from recovery mode.

Thanks dproldan.
Another question, how do I set a keyboard as default, everytime I reboot my watch, I have to reactivate Flit Keyboard..
tips with this rom
1) install superuser via cwm from http://androidsu.com/superuser/ , not necessary, but important for most of my uses
2) install google apps via cwm, I had trouble with the recommended 20110828, so i went with gapps-gb-20110613-signed.zip which worked first time
3) drop the lcd density so more fits on screen. I like 90, but 100 is probably more practical
4) install mx player and the recommended armv7 codecs from play store, even without hardware accel working, there's just enough oomf in there for software decoding of most sd formats
more to come
Does anyone have BT tethering working on this ROM? Is it supported by the stack? If not, is there anything I can do to try and get it working?
Further to the above question: does anyone have bluetooth anything working with this rom? When I flashed it, it seemed like the names of bluetooth devices were bugged (as in - I couldn't see any, and when I paired with something by it's code instead, any app that wanted the name just crashed).
I just want to make sure it's the rom and not something I did.
When you say bluetooth tethering, do you mean something using the watch's wifi connection? Or do you mean the watch using your phone/pc net connection?

the first time i installed reactv, my bluetooth could scan for devices and would even pair with a bluetooth headset, but would not play any sound. a few days later after i'd accidentally wiped my data in cwm instead of running a backup and restored most of my settings with titanium i noticed sound was playing through my headset.
bluetooth tethering i can't test as my other android device lost this function in the latest official update and i haven't gotten around to working around that yet
---------- Post added at 10:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:55 AM ----------
Has anyone else been able to rebuild reactv from source? i've tried following the directions and can get a compiled disk image, but it always hangs on boot before the adb service kicks in.

I've been trying, but the instructions are not as clear as they could be (especially the bits about fixing user tags in android.mk files?). It would be nice if someone who knows how to do it would put out a script.
I have a script that does what I THINK needs to be done (except for fixing the android.mk files - because I have no idea what to do there), but I'm not 100% sure, and when it gets to the point of running make, it cannot find a makefile

Finless juste made a new rom (version 1.7) for these android stick:
Measy u2c / B12 / imito v2 (camera)
libstagefright inside
support and download here:
http://www.freaktab.com/showthread.php?4282-NEW-Measy-U2C-B12-Finless-ROM-1-7
my question.. Is he the only one who cook rom for android stick? cant find alternative here on xda...
anyway, a great Rom done by Bob!
Code:
Features in my Measy / B12 / Imito V2 ROM:
This is an entirely new system. This is not much from the original Measy/B12 ROM in this as fas as system goes.
Many features from my 1.6 ROM are of course in this along with new features.
BE SURE to check out the mouse wheel ZOOM function to enable google earth etc to zoom!!!!
Set it by going into settings>accessability> and turn on mouse zoom!
1) New "auto hide" status bar! To enable this go into settings>Display and turn it on.
Now anytime you run an APP it will automatically hide the status bar. Please note, some badly written APPs
can leave you in a stuck condition that you cannot exit the APP. You will need you keyoard exit key.
2) While you in settings>display there is another feature to force the settings menu icon in the status bar.
It is 3 dots vertically. NOw anytime you in a APP that has a settings capability, if you click that you get settings!
3) Lock screen is back friends! Now is settings>security you can
A) Disable the lock screen completely (default is slide)
b) Setup a pattern for lock screen
c) Setup a PIN for lock screen
d) Setup a password for lock screen
4) Sleep is back like a tablet!!!! Go into settings>display and you can turn on sleep!
Now understand how this works
a) If there is no wifi or ethernet connection, when it goes to sleep will power off.
b) If there is a connection, it will simple go into low power mode and turn the display off. Moving the mouse turns it back on again
5) I enabled location services. This is now in the settings menu. Tested and working with all APPs that use it.
remember to turn off GPS as we have no GPS.
6) New "grid" style launcher available as a choice of launcehrs.
Some people still want the Alternate launcher that comes with many TV sticks for EZ TV use.
I took this from the Neo X5 ROM as I liked it better than previous versions. This of course comes with the RK settings as well.
If you want to remove this just use ES File explorer and delete these files from /system/app
LauncherNEW.apk
AllApp.apk
RKSettings.apk
RKBasicsettings.apk
Now just reboot and all this will be gone.
7) Gameloft fix. This fixes Gameloft games from crashing to the desktop.
Many of them do not run and crash to the desktop. This is due to a license check based on the device.
Special thanks to Christian Troy for inventing this fix. I modded it for this ROM.
8) Build.prop edit to open up the Google Play store to APPs that normally say "not compatible".
I am spoofing a Samsung device that will show almost any APP as compatible.
YOur device will show up in google play as NOT a B12 device! Understand this please.
I also left the original buiild.prop in the ROM called build.orig.
If you want to go back, just use ES FIle Explorer or a root file explorer and rename build.prop to build.old
Then rename build.orig to build.prop.
Go into settings, apps, all and go into the Google Play app. Clear the cache and data.
Reboot! You should be back to showing up as a Minis Nexo X5.
9) Rockchip just released a updated libstagefright.so to try and fix HW decoding issues in XBMC.
Ihadd added this ot the ROM but have not fully tested it yet.
See info here regarding this new library.
http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php...756#pid1345756
10) As always, full init.d support! If you do not know what that is... ignore it. For geeks that want to use it. It is there!
11) RK Mirrioring is enabled. I have yet to figure it out or how to use it but if we ever do, its there.
I think we need a client on our tablets to use it. Hopefully more info will come from WiMo about this.
12) Remote Control using RK Remote APP is now fully supported!
In the ROM kit is a RKRemoteControl.apk.
You install this on your phone or tablet and now it can remotly control your TV player!
Just put the APK on sdcard or something and install it on your Android phone, tablet, etc.
ENJOY this one! I had a HARD TIME getting it to work!
13) I added a reboot APP that will allow optional reboot options like reboot to bootloader (flash mode).
14) As always I added the Xbox XPAD.KO module is now injected on boot. This was by request! Enjoy!
15) I added Xbox360 keylayout to fix some games and camera spin with xbox 360 controller. Per this post here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1792531
16) TUN.ko module is also added by request. (CIFS and MD4 are already in the latest kernel).
Be aware if you use another kernel other than whats in this ROM, you may have to manually insmod CIFS and MD4.
The files are in /system/lib/modules
This ROM has several options for you to choose from for flashing so please read carefully how to change these flash options.
I have provided 4 parameter files. These will increase APP space and decrease internal sdcard space.
1GB APP space (this is default setting for the flash tool).
2GB APP space.
4GB APP space.
6GB APP space! This is the max! This leave only 400MB of space for the internal SDcard.
___________________________
NOTE:
USB OTG port boot up:
Anytime the Measy/B12 is booted AND the OTG port is plugged into a PC, it will boot with USB storage turned on! What this means is on boot up you will not be able to see the internal SDcard or the External SDcard from within Android. On your PC you see the removable drives because on boot they are mounted to the PC not Android. Now you can this OFF once booted. Go into settings and USB. You will see PC connection is grayed out.
1) Click it and it will then put the check box in "conneted". Odd it is OFF by defualt even though it is really connected to the PC.
2) Now turn it off and it will unmount the SDcards from your PC and you can now see them in Android.
HOWEVER... Realize next reboot, it will be on again.
In my opinion this should not work this way but at least you can turn it off once booted.
The other work around is to always hook up the USB cable to the back micro USB port not the OTG port.
The back port ONLY powers the unit. There is no data connection on this port for PC.
This solves that issue. But remember the back port will NEVER connect to a PC or allow ROM flashes.
Only the OTG port allows that.

Reboot?
If it is a normal reboot, you don't have to open the device.
There is a Reboot app included in the New Measy Finless 1.7 Rom.
Correct me if I am wrong but based on my understanding, you only have to open your device and do the "Shortcut" method when you are having
some problem in getting into recovery mode. or your small switch button is not working anymore...
Can I install this rom on my MK809III rk3188
are there some instructions/guide how to make rom for this little sticks on your own?

Need HELP @ Note 3 ( SM-N9002 / SM-N9009 ) SIM2 Call Audio/Mic Routing & MagMa-NX ROM
Got my hands on this one beautiful piece of Samsung Galaxy Note3 SM-N9002 Dual-Sim, and it had this odd version of Chinese samsung rom on it, as it comes from factory, half apps installed that comes with it was in Chinese and had no play store etc and was on 4.xx android, so I went and did my research, found working TWRP, managed to install it OK, then tried few beautiful ROM versions and found MagMa-NX (note7 ported ROM) works wonderfully well, zero crashes etc etc and it also has kernel support for SM-N9002 during installation which I chose to use, all features work 100% and everything works ok, all but SIM#2 call audio.
I mean, I have signal on both sim cards simultaneously OK, I can make and receive calls and all would seem ok, but when dialed to or from SIM#2 there is no audio coming out from earpiece or loudspeaker and mic dont seem to activate as even if I try to record call which feels like muted for both caller and receiver ends, call audio recorder while recording does not pick up any sound trough phone microphones, so I think its something to do with settings in some file not done right or else I dont know what I could be doing wrong.
both sim cards worked 100% ok before ROM flash, but now I'm lost because I cant even flash back to old stock rom, and yes I have gathered original android 4.xx rom but it fails flashing via ODIN every time, so my best bet is on doing some DIY on current MagMa-NX note7 port rom... I wonder if there are any fellows who I could buy the paypal-beer for great help sorting me out on this DIY project? Please PM me or post here if you feel like you could collaborate in resolving this dilemma for me... would highly appreciate folks
I will keep an eye out
I think I figured something. Everytime I attempt to make a phone call on this, I get to choose from which sim card should I dial, #1 or #2 , but what I have noticed now is that I am being asked "SIM1" or "Slot2" ... SLOT 2 I thought? That may be the reason that audio routing doesnt work well for this... tried searching build.prop but this string is not there and I just dont know where to search for this string to get this fixed, anybody can chime in?
Thanks
Did you figure it out ? As i have the same problem with the same rom in addition that when i call anyone and he is on a call i don't get notified with " call waiting

Which CSC did you choose?
I did not figure anything out guys... as I was trying to get this working, I tried every CSC option possible... none worked. Which should have been the one that's working for this models?
in fact Im thinking of selling this beauty of note3, its almost new... in case someone interested I have it... because I would love note7 port rom on this, and nothing else... PS I could live with it being just single-sim option, it works but not perfect as sim #2 is useless then... signal there and texts only works for it as described above...
at the moment its on stock adroid 5.0 and its all 100% ok and fine, flawless, but its boring!

Well, i know that mixer paths are different on single sim and dual sim phones.
Can you extract from stock rom the file "/system/etc/mixer_paths.xml" and overwrite the one in custom rom ?
I think I tried something similar if not exact with no success .. let me repeat the process just in case...
PS also, I will try and dump both versions of these files. Is there anything else I may need to dump from stock rom 5.0 rom?

There are some specific binaries and libs, but i'm pretty sure magma rom already inject them during flash when you select n9002 as variant.
Dumping the CSC folder is a good idea too.

cool, which is the csc folder to be exact? will there should there be any conflicts between 5.0 stock android and 6.0 in magma rom when doing CSC trick?
thanks

Indeed, conflits may happen. But just dump it and let we examine it.
Ok here is what I managed to try, I backed up stock rom android 5.0 all working state mixer files from etc dir, then flashed magma rom again, backed up those same files for restoration to working state, replaced files with ones extracted while on 5.0 stock android, reboot device, no sound whatsoever, phone wont even buzz keypad dialtones or connect dial phonecalls just hangs. So I went and restored back original magmanx rom mixer files, reboot, but still no success... so now I have just finished restoring 5.0 again, will dump csc folder and share with you. will also need to charge my battery a bit because @ 30% cant expect much to happen when flashing magma nx...
Thanks for the help amigo!!!
Alright, tried merging csc from 5.0 to magmanx 6.0, no luck. then tried after this to merge mixer file from 5.0 to magmanx 6.0 , no luck, back at square1....
files attatched both versions... obviously something wasnt done right from looong time ago and had never been reported, been forgotten... in regards of 9002 users..

Indeed, the mixer_paths of TW6 is missing the whole part concerning "cp2" (second sim).
I'm not a reel dev but i tried to add missing parts from TW5.
Can you please try the attached mixer_paths on magma ? (don't touch csc).

Did you checked correct permissions before reboot ?
I'm afraid the problem is deeper than mixer paths.
I'll try to digg more.
I enable root explorer in third party file manage, grant permission, copy file from sd card to system/etc, prompt to overwrite -grant, overwrite complete, power off phone from power-button menu, power on, done. is this bad/incorrect procedure? magmanx has root from stock, when I navigate root dir I get access grant prompt, I grant it and then I can modify whatever.
please let me know what else I could do? maybe there are specific files I could look in to dump out of working 5.0 rom? Thanks!
or maybe just directory content filenames that could/would make sense by their name etc?
its weird, I think its something to do with the kernel itself... maybe Im wrong, but I dont think 9002/9008 kernels were ever made properly to be tested thus the errors... I cant even find any other kernels for 9002 other than included in magmanx and it aint working well anyway

The file "mixer_paths.xml" must have permission set to 0644 (like other files in /system/etc directory).
And try darklord Kernel.
6044 is as per read/write permissions for user enabled, as per this link http://permissions-calculator.org/decode/0644/ , I assume these permissions will auto set after moving replacing file do they not?
Where do I obtain the darklord kernel? I was pretty sure it comes with it... let me re-do the rom and take some snips as I go

Sorry i just noticed you already have darklord kernel.
And set permission like other files in this directory (if not already done by your file manager).
