I started a thread a few months ago concerning a proprietary video player that Sony used for their Location Free Player devices. Well...
The software code has now been moved to open source status and is free for full linux development. I'm hoping I can convince one of you savvy developers to whip up the player so it can run on either Android or a full linux OS (I use Ubuntu). I'm sure it's a gold mine for tons of other video streaming applications that could potentially run on our devices.
The link to the open source code can be found here along with other Sony open projects.
http://products.sel.sony.com/opensource/
Location Free TV is the program I'm specifically talking about. I believe the current version is LFA-PC30. If you would like to read more on this device/player you can check the wiki at:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LocationFree_Player
Let me know if anyone has any questions, I very eager to see if this is possible. If I could stream video from my Location Free Player Base I to either my android device or Ubuntu Netbook I would be very very pleased. If a dev is serious I would be more than happy to have them test on my base station. PM or email me if you're interested!
Also, please move to the correct thread if this is in the incorrect area.
agreed!
I too would love to see more on this, my locationfree box could get so much more use.
So a sony base unit (hardware) is needed to try this right
If someone is working on this, and needs a connection to a base station to test ( I have the last version that came out LF-V30 ) message me and I'll send you the adress to connect to my station and the password
Would
Love to see this on Android. This would give new life to my Location Free Box. If not then I may have to move to Sling Player although I would like to stay with Sony.

Hello, Bumping the thread once more, there are plenty of Location free devices out there for people to purchase an paid app from the android store.
Please compile an app from the source code link that OP provided. I am looking forward to it.

I'd pay for a working app as well..
It will probably never happen but figured I would put my 2cents in as well..

Thank you for your efforts. Very happy with this development.
Holy crap! I don't believe it! Can't wait to get home to register my base with my phone. If it works, will donate for sure! Thanks mgschwan!!!

I'm here, my friend. Just waiting to see what devs do with this tab. It's lower-end, but it's snappy and feels premium. I hope we can get some CM action on this bad boy. Depends on the popularity, but I think the price point should help a lot.

The only thing low end is the price this feels nicer than my transformer prime. Does have a small lag from time to time opening apps though.

Yea well it does have *slightly* better specs than the Prime, but the Prime was released in 2012. The price can't be beat, tho. I hope people flock to it.
I think part of the reason there's no one here is because you can't find this tablet anywhere but a few brick-and-mortar Best Buy stores right now. I can't find a single online retailer that lists it in their stock yet. Once it's widely available, this forum should fill up. For now, it's just you and me, I guess lol.

True that. Im looking foreard to rooting, and opening up dual window to all apps. How does yours run?
Just picked mine up from BestBuy. Rooted with Towelroot and Xposed. I have found that the G3 tweaks xposed module works, haven't tested all of it but ehat i have so far works.

Wow. Can you post a guide?
Sure thing.
Here is towel root https://towelroot.com
Download the app a day run it, will give you root. After that download supersu from the market and run it.
Download xposed from here http://repo.xposed.info
I think latest stable is 2.6.1.
After that you can download the g3 tweak from the market. The g3 and 10.1 are very similar rom wise, I've been able go use some of the theme tweaks (every one tried has worked, but can't guarantee all of it works since it's for the g3)
Sent from my LG-D850 using XDA Free mobile app
I grabbed a 7" and hoping this picks up. Also a separate forum if necessary
I can confirm that this works. I even picked up an app from the play store that allows you to add any app to the duel windows. Ive wanted that function ever since i got this device! I havnt played with the framwork too much but seems to work.
I guess the only thing missing is a custom recovery. Any insight on that anybody?
BTW, towel root was the easiest root ever. One click app. No hooking up to a computer.

I wonder if LG threw in an encrypted boot loader on the tabs. Also I couldn't find any information on this but does the G Pad 10.1 support USB OTG? I plan on picking one up within the week and hopefully get a custom recovery going soon after.

Flex multi window mod
I got one and i rooted it with towelroot with no problem. Even installed flex multi window app and works fine. The only problem is that it doesn't support NTFS usb sticks. I don't have any FAT32 right now to try but i'll search if it's possible to add NTFS support.
coming soon my 7.0 !!
Can someone please see if you can enable Chromecast's screen mirroring after rooting the 10.1 by using the Mirror Enabler app?
I greatly appreciate it.
I just got the gpad 7.0 from att with the G3 bundle for 99cents. Im trying to decide if I want to keep it or return. The screen quality isn't all that great. I also couldn't root it with towelroot as it says its not supported. I wish there were more activity in the forums for the g pads too.
Update: I was able to successfully root the G Pad 7.0 At&t version using purpledrake. LG-V410
I got my mom a like new g pad 7.0 off ebay for nice price but didn't realize it's the At&T version. We are just going to use it with Wi-Fi. That shouldn't be a problem right?
also, is there a way to stop the pad from asking for sim card besides turning on airplane mode? thank you

so many asks for Xposed but can't help with a few bucks... not everything is free in this world.
I've just sent $10 so come on guys!
While I agree not everything in the world is free, it would be nice to know why the money is needed. I followed your links but didn't see any explanation as to who gets the money and what it's going to be used for. Maybe a little more info could help people open their wallets?

check first link in the OP, @arter97 does not have the S6 device, he needs it to be able to get Xposed working with 64 bit device, he got it working for other Samsung Lollipop devices but those are 32 bit, like the S5 for example.

We have had posts deleted and stern messages from committe regarding donations for devices. Seems this is ok now though so I guess the rules must have changed.

I've never heard of that, and honestly I don't see any problem with it? it's not like we MUST donate but as he don't have the device and it's not a cheap one I don't see the problem with donating one as it's a killer feature we want.
How sure are you that @arter97 is the one that actually did the work to get xposed working for Samsung devices? @Darkera posted the fix before he did.

I don't know about that but arter97 "solution" seemed more easy to install... anyway I don't care about that, it's not my problem, I only offer people to donate a small amount to get Xposed working with 64 bit devices, then it's up to them if they want to donate or not.

Why does the "who did it first" matters?
Both methods works in a way that's fundamentally different, and as far as I can see, my method is the only way to go to maximize flexibility and compatibility between various devices and ROMs.

It matters because, if people donate to buy you the device and you're not able to get it working for arm64, they're wasting their money. I'm not saying that would be the case, but, I'm always suspicious of people who post something thousands of people have been waiting for only hours after someone else posts the actual steps taken to fix said issue.
*EDIT. By wasting their money, I mean you didn't do the previous work, and can't fix for arm64 (yes, I know, I have trust issues)...

1) so bounty to bring unofficial method, of someone else's hard work...rovo89. This means no guarantee for support, or that it will be adopted as official. (Not that there are ever guarantees with this stuff)
2) Did you check to see how this would go over with @rovo89? Why not create this bounty to help him out (not that he would want it), imagine all the hours he has clocked on HIS framework over the years. The man even generally refused donations.

I don't say that what you say is wrong, I agree 100% but @rovo89 seems to be very busy atm I guess, and @arter97 won't probably go buy this phone anyway so the only solution I see now is if we donate a device to get it working ASAP, because I can't stand the ads in the youtube app for example and some other stuff I need thanks to Xposed.

Now that Cataclysm is no more, eventually I will have to move to another rom. #1 criteria is it has to allow Pay. I don't want to debate if Pay is good or bad, just if it works 100% on your rom.
Can you all post what rom you are using that supports or does not support Pay? If you see for ex. Pure Nexus in a prior post's and have nothing to add, no need to repost it unless say you have issues getting it to work or such.
Cataclysm = Yes, currently dead
Benzo (Great!! rom) = No, currently not supported
Chroma = Yes
Pure Nexus = Works with "some work"
I am running Chroma and have had no issues with Android Pay. Have made multiple purchases since I flashed it awhile back.

It won't work because Xposed has to modify the system partition. I thought I read somewhere that they were attempting to make a systemless Xposed, but I can't find it. I could be wrong.

I believe you will see Cata roms pop up when Feb. security patch comes around. you just wont see any of his work on XDA. I think he hinted towards it a bit. Not confirmed but a def. hunch. We will find out in a couple weeks. If not i will move towards Pure Nexus and go through the steps of getting AP to work on there. I would jump on Chroma as well but he doesnt support expanded desktop anymore. I believe that is a very underrated feature.
Also on Chroma...for now.

Because it has root, any ROM that has root requires some slight work to get it to work. You can always flash the SU remover zip and it should work with no other steps.

So I was enjoying this on my NON-ROOTED Note 9 but unfortunately, there's no support for non-rooted 6T's. I was wondering if anyone here knows another way to apply black themes to my apps (especially WhatsApp) through non-rooted methods. I have the Tmo variant and I'm not gonna be able to pay if off for a while so rooting is out of the question.
If there's no solution I guess I'll just live with this. Substratum also doesn't work. Again, that was working on my non-rooted N9. *shrugs*

Ya know...some basic research would answer your question.
Simply put, you're "non-rooted" Note worked because you were on OREO. PIE disabled Substratum themes from working unless they have a signature...what XDA has come to these days...

Theres a lot of tmobile users that successfully unlocked their 6t even if its not paid off. Just read other forums.

I did. Setting aside your uselessly snippet attitude. It just seems strange that on one unrooted phone it would work and not the other. At least to me. If this is strange to you that it's seems strange to me then I don't know what to tell ya. Folks on the N9 on Pie are still using this. Unrooted. Which is why I was wondering out loud.
Best.
Moderator Information | Thread Cleaned
I expect everyone to stay on topic and respect fellow users. Also as far as installer is concerned root is mandatory on Pie and sub/andromeda wont work on Pie either so the only way to apply overlays is to unlock which you can do so even without being paid. Just check the unlock threads for T-Mobile version.
Thanks,
Funk
There's been too many folks on here telling me otherwise. I guess they are mistaken.
