custom rom dnla/file sharing support - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

I do not have enough posts yet to ask this on the development forum( you need 10). I am using a custom rom for the first time (jellybeast) and all the options under the "nearby devices" in the wireless other settings area are greyed out and cannot be accessed at all. does this mean that the rom does not support dnla that the stock jelly bean has? If I want to continue with that rom will I have to install a separate media server to get dnla file sharing to work? thanks.

Actually, this section (Q&A) is the correct place to post your question about ROMs and DLNA. The dev forum is only for sharing work that you have created, it's not for questions.
Anyway, do you have a media server already setup on your network that you are trying to access?

When I was using an unrooted stock 4.1.2 rom I was able to play a video on the stock jelly bean video player and tap a onscreen share icon to have it play on our main "smart" hdtv. now that I am using a custom rom (jellybeast) that option is no longer there. so I thought it was related to the media share settings being greyed out (settings/wireless settings/more settings/nearby devices)..there is an option to check the box for file sharing. that whole section is greyed and I was wondering the reason why is because the rom is debloated and maybe there was a stock system app omitted from the custom rom that allowed media file sharing, and will have to install separate android media server app to allow this.

Just saw in development section there was an update to jellybeast to v3.0 that now includes "allshare" so will give that a try.

[Q] Xperia Arc and Torbot experience

Hello fellow Arc users.
I want to listen to Pandora.com in Europe. On my computer I'm all set with Tor network. I have looked for similar solution on Android and there is Torbot. Problem is that it doesn't work for me. It gives error about transparent proxy building problems.
I'm on Arc Knight Rc2.2(Jimbo is not answering dm's) kernel and Team Xperia Tweaked v3.0 Rom (ICS 4.0.4).
Opinions, solutions, appreciated.
-----Solution------
Spent some time playing around with Torbot and found solution. Here it is:
Typical error is: Transparent proxy not woking. Problem is caused by iptables Orbot is using. It appears app has their own solution and it is not working with Android 4.0.4 (ICS).
Step by step solution.
1. In settings enable root access
2. Check Transparent Proxying
3. Check "Use default Iptables" under Debug section.
Now when I check if I'm using tor, it still shows that I'm not but it might be because I'm not using tor for browsing.
To listen to Pandora.com on Android I have done these additional steps:
4. Install Android market enabler - (can't post link as this is my first post). You won't be able to install it from Play if you are outside US. It just won't show it in search results.
5. Choose US based market. Save restore point to go back to your home market id.
6. In phone browser go to pandora.com and choose download option through Play.
7. In Torbot settings edit "Exit nodes" and type in "{us}". This restricts Tor to US.
8. Under "Sellect Apps" choose Pandora
9. Launch Pandora and enjoy music. Don't forget to buy Pandora One and support artists
If this helped you, don't hesitate and hit Thanks.
Try DroidVPN. I used to use it on GB but with the latest ICS 4.0.4 Stock ROM, my phone just reboots. Since you're on a Custom ROM, you shouldn't face the same issue.
Cheers!

How do I make apps think I'm running an earlier Android?

To whom who can answer this;
I have an application called Foxtel Go, which allows me to stream my TV programs (Foxtel) on my Android device. However the APP only allows you to use it when the phone is not rooted (Condition one) and running an official Samsung TW Phone (Condition 2). I have condition one solved because I have an APP which hides root using Xposed Installer. Condition 2 I cannot meet because I'm running Android 4.4.2 (ProBam ROM). Is there a way to make Foxtel Go think I'm running an official TW Rom?
Thank you for any assistance in return.

you have to change the build.prop to the requirements of the app
Download a stock based rom and take the build.prop file
Open it with a file manager and change the parameters to your custom ProBam rom

He has already posted that the credit goes to the original developers.
His contribution may be less at present but why would someone discourage people trying to learn things.
If you really wanna go to the history then Cyanogenmod too did the same by adding some stuffs under AOSP. If people would have discouraged him there itself then now there wouldnt be any CM roms.
Same goes for all roms that are CM and AOSP based (AOGP, PA, AOKP, AICP, PAC...........)
They too initially added some stuff and started, gradually moved to a higher level.
This is the initial, let them learn and mod. Please dont demoralize people. Credits are already given.
If im wrong in this point, moderator can delete my post...
But since i know im not wrong i dont think any mods would be against me.
Thanks...

Its already inbuilt feature of unofficial Mokee thats why i use unofficial Mokee Rom as base
some errors, please solve it as soon as possible...
Boss, do something for the lockscreen....
as soon as i change anything in the settings (locksreen section),
i get this error "the ....systemui.... has been stopped ".
then no other option works..
neither wiping cache and dalvik cache, nor flashing the same rom on it..
only 1 option remains, i.e. FACTORY RESET..!!
things which tried to do in the lockscreen :
Screen Security, forced to keep what is in default.
checked the option "show slider before secure unlock".
unchecked the option of custom lockscreen...
this all things got me to reset my phones for about 4-5 times...
and another thing,
the file manager, try something else.. this one is nice but does not allow us to select multiple things..
and bro, the gallery..!!!
in the accounts and sync option, why is there a gallery account to which we cant do anything..!!
and walkman keeps on creating thumbnail.xxxxxx something folder like this in gallery, along with another folder same as this contentcache...
plz check these problems out....

I Know Some App will generate FC But i added this apps ROM So I can remove them in Next Build if i got negative Reviews
Our Earlier Kitkat build has Lockscreen Notification Functionality but One Plus One Lockscreen is based on 4.4.2 & dont have notification Functionality so it will generate FC
One Plus One Gallery Has issues but i added this because it looks nice than our Kitkat Gallery App
I want edit setting apk but i always got an error while recompile if any one help me to do that i will definately make some changes

try this out :
go to the gallery app, then change the viewing mode from moments to albums..
according to me there will be a folder named contentcache and thumbnail..
i deleted it for about 4-5 times, but it came back..
at present there is no folder in my phone, otherwise i would have uploaded the screenshot..
will inform you about it if i see it again..
and do you mean that we can't change anything in the lockscreen section at all in this rom..!!
cuz that would become a drawback, please find a way to fix it, if possible..

If You Like One Plus One Lockscreen Then Dont use lockscreen Setting

[Q] M8 Stock apps on custom ROM

Hi guys,
I tried looking around but couldn't find a solution but i have a custom ROM and i wanted to install a few stock apps like the remote app and the power saving app because i was used to them, where can i find them and install them?
You can see if they are ported to aosp by browsing the themes and apps section.... But as a rule, apps made for Sense require the Sense framework to function. So sense based roms should have the apps, or at least you could manually install them.
As far as finding them, some may be on the play store, or you can wait for someone to upload them for you. ?

Hi, thank you for the reply, yes i can now agree with you that i need a sense based ROM to have the stock apps working because they are available on the play store and you can install the app but when you run it, it refuses and says unsupported device.
Thanks for this

Question Changing default file manager app

Is there a way to change the default file manager app without rooting or using custom rom? Xiaomi file manager has so many ads and i want to change it to google files.
i think you can remove - some of the - the ads by going to settings and disabling the "show recommandations" - chinese for show ads
there's a lot of those toggles in miui, also in the security, browser, search in the miui forum there was a guide on where to find them all.
or easier, just go for a custom rom
im not to sure you need to set it default, just install the google version from google play and open that insted of the xiaomi version.
youcant really remove it since it's ibstalled as a system app.
