GameBoid not working? - Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I don't know where to put this but since I'm trying to use it on my Fire I'll put it here. I have the BIOS pathed and GameBoid's latest version installed. I try to load a rom and it starts for half a second then goes back to the file directory to pick a rom.
Any help would be appreciated.
PS: I have other emulators working, so...
I also have CM10, maybe that's the problem.

That's odd.....I just tested Gameboid version 2.4.7 on a CM10 ROM and it ran fine. Maybe try a different version of Gameboid? Maybe the BIOS file has been corrupted? Which CM10 ROM are you using exactely.....I'm using twa_priv's CM10/Linaro

The Rom seems corrupted. Happens to me too when I use a corrupted Rom. Try to download it again.

I'm using that same CM10 and I've tried downloading the ROMS from multiple sites to no avail. Just says GameBoid is running and goes back to the rom select.
I'm using GameBoid 2.4.7 or whatever the latest version from the official site is.
I've also tried two different BIOS downloads.
Can one of you upload your BIOS file/the GameBoid apk/a Pokemon ROM that you've seen working? This is pretty frustrating. The DS version worked and ran great until I actually got into the game and it was incredibly slow, so DS isn't happening.

This is a zip file containing the Gameboid 2.4.7 apk, a Pokemon ROM (confirmed working) and the GBA BIOS that worked fine on my Kindle. If it still doesn't work you might want to do a factory reset and if it still doesn't work, re-flash the ROM. Hope it helps

Yeah they don't work. Damnit. It's probably not worth doing a factory reset, thanks for the help though.
I tried "MyBoy Lite" and it works. I'm not worried about being able to save state so lite isn't a big deal.

Well you could try wiping cache and dalvik in recovery to see if it works but u'll lose all ur settings but not the apps themselves

You shouldn't distribute the GBA BIOS file because it is "technically" illegal. You should get it yourself from the GameBoy. (like everyone does that :rollseyes

[Q] Adobe flash player updates not working

Hey I have been trying to update my adobe flash player on my phone but I seem to be only stuck with flash 10.1 everytime I try to install 10.2 or 10.3 it installs but when I go to play flash content I get that missing plug in symbol. my phone is rooted and I am running the stock rom. as of right now Im stuck with 10.!. Any ideas
Use titanium backup to delete the flash player. Go to the market, then install the latest version, keep it on the phone memory, that should work.
Yeah just tried that still doesn't work
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19699565/Surprise_flash.apk
Try that.
Thanks I'll see if it works

Glad that works. And yes, try updating it to 10.3.
Okay so I tried updating..but once again it didn't work. Still plug-in needed symbol. So I tried looking for a 10.3 apk..I found one and downloaded it...my flash worked for about 3 minutes...but then stopped for no apparent reason. lol, I'll just go back to the one you sent me. Worst comes to worst, I'll probably end up going back to flash 10.1

That's awkward, I updated the same way and no problems, though on 10.2 you'll be okay if it doesn't work. Its on the internal memory?
ha, yep its on internal memory.... definitely strange...Okay so I just placed flash 10.2 on, and the first video I watched it was working, but just my luck, I clicked on something else, and missing plug-in box.......*sighs*...just wasn't meant to be lol
im having the same problem using sprintlovers rom, when i upgrade to 10.2 or 10.3 its no dice on the videos, so i delete flash and reinstall 10.1 and everything works fine, not sure if its the rom or update but i did read in the comments for the update that many are having the same problem we are...
Okay...so my fix for now is to install cyanogenmod....and be happy with that

[Q] We Can Now Dual Boot With Boot Manager App!!!

Disclaimer: I didn't create Boot Manager and am not affiliated with the developers in anyway.
I didn't see anyone posting this yet so I figured some of you might be interested.
There's an app on the market now called Boot Manager that's 2.99 and allows you to dual boot up to 5 roms. You still have your main rom which is stored directly in your phone's memory and then up to four more that are stored and run from your sdcard. Because you're running secondary roms from your sdard those may not run as fast as your main phone rom but my preliminary testing has been pretty good.
Boot manager is simple to set up and use and requires no special skills. You don't even need to partition your sdcard.
All you have to do is put whatever roms you wish to run on your sdcard and then install them through Boot Manager. Initially setting up the roms takes maybe 15 minutes but once your done you can boot back and forth very quickly, much faster than doing nandroids.
Enjoy
Update: I'm now running 2 AOSP roms Kushdeck's 1.3b2(main rom) and SalvageMod 1.4 and a Sense rom SynergyRls1 and haven't noticed any major issues. Gps works on each rom as well as 4g. Synergy does have some lag and for this reason took some patience and a little longer to initially set up but it works decently for running off of an sdcard. On a side note I've heard claims that Synergy does have some lag issues running normally.
I plan on ordering a better sdcard with a faster class rating such as class 4 or 6 so hopefully this will decrease lag but overall I'm very impressed with Boot Manager. If nothing else this gives you a chance to test drive roms without having to go through the whole process of replacing your daily driver.
PLEASE READ: I've reached out to one of the developers of this app who's from XDA and asked for his help in answering the problems some of you are having. I wish I could help more especially since this a paid app and you guys deserve to have an app that work. Below are the links to email support through the app website as well as the one of the developers Conap who's from XDA. Maybe if they receive enough emails they will shoot over to this thread to help.
Sorry I can't help more. All I can do is verify that it's working on my Evo but don't have enough advanced skills to do a lot more.

Yea that's a good point. I'm running Kushdeck's 1.3b2 gb aosp as my main rom and didn't even think of that.

Alright, this looks really great. Love the idea. Just wondering for those who have it, since there are different kernels associated with each ROM (going from CM to Synergy) would you have to go back in and wipe battery stats? Also, would vipermod carry from ROM to ROM or would you need to set it up for every ROM?
How much room on the SD card would you need to boot 5 ROMS?
edit: quite a bit of room, have over a gig on sd card and can't load synergy. Have to do some cleaning later. Wish it could import nands, that would rock.
edit 2: cleared room, installed synergy on slot 1, rebooted, hanging on evo 4g screen..... bah
Im trying this now. I have Mikg as my phone rom and installing miui as a test. Will report back when I do some testing on kernals and battery life.
I'm getting error on editing boot.img when trying to install salvage.
Edit: even though this is an app, someone move it to the dev section. Needs more attention.

i need some more instructions. What are we supposed to wipe in the Rom Installer section? Also, how do you flash Gapps?
hasn't worked yet, boo... 2 battery yanks and nand restores
Edit: Got into salvagemod from synergy through the app. Didn't flash the Gapps, so it wouldn't recognize the app, so when I tried to go back to the "phone ROM", I get a "boot.img failed to flash, not rebooting" error.
yeah crazy... stuck in splash screen sooooo yay no bueno thus far...

Try doing it again. I've had that happen. Also the developer does state that not all roms will work. I've had 1 so far not work but I know Salvage works because I'm running it as a secondary right now.

Good question. That confused me first also. You only need to do wipes if you're installing a new rom over an original one in a slot. If the slot is empty you don't need to do any wipes.
I can't address the other problem since I'm not technically proficient enough with the app yet to give you suggestions. Sorry
To flash gapps just install the rom but don't reboot install gapps over the rom in the same slot.

Try doing it again or try another rom. My first tries didn't work either. Also as I mentioned above the developer says this doesn't work with all roms yet.
It takes a while. Since it's booting from your sdcard it's not quite as fast the first time as when you normally flash a rom. Mine stayed on splash screen for a little while to the first time I rebooted. Also try another rom just to see if that works for you.

It does not work on my evo. tried everything but it errors out while finishing building the rom.
Their description does say which phones it supports and EVo is not on there. They probably wont respond to any evo users (at least according to their description, since its a non supported phone).

Did you guys put a support ticket in to Rockstar and a review on the game on the market? I had an issue trying to buy the game so I gave a review on put put a ticket in and they replied back saying they had fixed the issue. Easy peasy.
I was finally able to resolve this. BEWARE, the below entirely clears the SDCARD and all your data! This means your Nandroids will also be gone as well as any roms you have stored on your card! Backup to a pc before doing this..
reboot recovery
clear data /factory reset in cwm
Reboot to bootloader,

fastboot oem unlock

This is what I did to get mine to work on my Sony Tablet S. I tried to move it to the USB Storage in Manage Applications in the Settings but it said I was out of room.

First off, this is in the wrong forum. You should be posting this in the section for the rom you are trying to flash. Second off, infected rom is not a rom that I am aware of, that is a website that has quite a few roms on it though. Please elaborate what rom you are trying to flash exactly and I will try to help you out.
sorry for posting in the wrong section .i will post from now on in the question and answer portion of this forum and again im sorry about this ,however, the rom i am trying to use is the infected rom / eternity and what im trying to say is i downloaded the rom to my computer i connected my phone and downloaded the rom to my sd card so when i go to flash the rom i see it but i guesss its not zipped ? i click the rom and it tells me data.system meta.inf

You are most likely using Safari which automatically unzips stuff, you will need to disable that for it to be fixed, open Safari then go to Preferences>General tab>uncheck Open "safe" files after download... And re-download the ROM. The ROMs are supposed to be zipped, happened to me all the time with my Hero back in the day lol.
i just unchecked it and will download it again .i will let you know if this worked wow you guys are great man
That's interesting, and kinda dumb. Does it do it with all types of zip files including apk's?

Should fix it, like I said, Safari automatically unzipping ROMs is bad as they are supposed to be zipped, and the unzipping breaks the files signature.

If that doesn't work for you, you could always try downloading directly from your phone and see if that makes the difference. I would have never had that answer though cause I always download from my windows laptop or directly from my phone. Although, I have found RCmix3d to run better on my phone that eternity anyway. I do love virus' work, but he never really finished eternity and is now mostly working on other phones. R46 was just released though, and nobody knows what was changed, so hopefully the issues are fixed. My problem with eternity was that I kept missing text messages, which can't happen for me. Let us know how this goes and I might even try eternity again if the issues are fixed. Good Luck! If not, I suggest either RCmix3d or PrimeXL3d, they are both basically the same as eternity and have both worked better for me at this point
yes i use safari all the time lol ill keep you posted haha .i hope this works

Great, I'm glad bmxrider helped you out on this one. Please do let me know what happens with the new eternity, mainly if your text messages all come through.

will custom roms like cm10/JB allow bell mobile tv to work?

hi guys, as title says, will any custom roms allow bell mobility TV to work? im just curious, on my older phone that i put CM9 onto i could not get bell mobility tv to work, it would say it stopped working, even after 30 different builds,
is this the same case here? or does it work? Thanks!
I just tried mine running task650 aokp and after the app opens it tells me that my device is not supported. But, maybe I'll try changing my build.prop so that it reflects a Bell Canada phone and not an American AT&T phone.....might work....I'll have to get back to you.

The App is Jelly Bean compatible, as I am using it on the latest leak. I have tried to flash Bell's csc on top of other ROMs in the past and have had no luck getting Mobile Tv to work. This includes AOKP CM10 and stock ROMs from other countries. On my S2 as well. Maybe there is something in Build.prop, but I haven't been able to figure anything out.

The Bell leak is somewhat buggy, but not enough to keep me from using it as a daily. The reason I use it over CM10 is simply because I love Touchwiz. CM10 seems way faster and loads of other benefit, but I think that Samsung has done really well with this as stock. If you don't stay stock, the Bell TV app will not work (to the best of my experience). It all comes down to what you like and what you want to work.

hi guys, as title says, will any custom roms allow bell mobility TV to work? im just curious, on my older phone that i put CM9 onto i could not get bell mobility tv to work, it would say it stopped working, even after 30 different builds,
is this the same case here? or does it work? Thanks!

I got it to work by using these settings in build.prop
- ro.product.name=d2vl
- ro.product.device=d2can
- ro.product.model=SGH-I747M
- ro.build.product=d2can
works so far without issues

interesting, i have not personally used or edited roms or files as such, how would i go about that more specifically? decompile a rom and put that into the .prop or open .prop in notepad or what lol
i am a technical computer guy but when it comes to androids and such and their builds, i know how to root, and flash and all that dealio just not about their filesystem structure, etc,

Download ES File Explorer, and under settings make sure: Root explorer, up to root and mount file system are checked.
Go into the /System/ Directory and you'll see the build.prop file in there, press and hold to bring up the menu and open as a text file, and you should see the settings in there that you can change

so this is a sure fire way to get mobile tv to work?, if so then i'd go to CM10 or something if its worth it vs bells jellybean,
also if i root and put cm10 on, can i undo it all and unroot, etc so that if i had to get the phone fixed they would never know it happened? or is there some special internal sucker that knows that youve went custom and doesnt revert back that the factory checks?
sorry i suck at explaining some times but i hope that worked LOL

Haha, I think i got it. Yup, so far so good on my phone running CM10, in fact I'm using it right now! hahah.
There's a thread under the development section that tells you how to root without tripping the counter so that no one will know that you've rooted. And I believe that all you have to do to unroot is to flash an original stock rom

This works for me also running task650's jellybean aokp.
I just edited this file, but I am still greeted with, "Coming to your device soon!"
Wiped app data with Titanium; rebooted as well.
I see this issue is current.
Any suggestions?

Did you reboot after making the changes? I got the exact same message when opening the app. Made the changes and rebooted and started watching TV.
Beautiful, sir.
For the record: I had restarted, initially, but when it didn't work and I went back to the file to review the text once again, I realised I forgot to stick that capital M in there. I changed it, saved it, but still no tv - simply because, I didn't restart again.
Cheers bud.

I'm curious if anyone has got this working with Rogers Live TV. I have edited my build.prop to reflect what has been posted in this thread to no avail. I am running the latest AOKP. I have even taken editing the build.prop as far as modifying the description and fingerprint.
The ro. product.name may be different for Rogers. The rest should be the same. After editing make sure you save the edited file. Hopefully you have a nandroid in case changing something here makes your phone non-booting. After saving the edited file reboot, if that doesn't work reboot recovery wipe cache/dalvic/fix permissions and try that. If none of that works you may have to get a Rogers stock ROM and see what those four lines are on stock and change them to reflect that.
BTW- which app are you using to edit the build.prop?
