This is something I'd love to happen, too. But if you look on the internet it looks like there are problems to use a Wiimote on Android since 4.2 version. It seems like they changed the stack for security reasons and since then nobody get a working Wiimote on Android anymore
I'd be glad to have other info

Thanks for that very useful reply! Despite the original posters claims I was trying to gather the opinions of others before I installed the software on my phone.
Clearly you're either new to the internet or have so much money that you can risk your expensive phone by installing unreliable software.
I also use sportypal, whenever i have a time to go cycling, i always keep record on the track with it, and till now i haven't had a problem with it. Plus now there is a newer version 1.0.2.

what do you meen by data package?
This software is very easy to install, you can do it directly from http://www.sportypal.com, The application starts, acquires satellites connectivity, then you hit the “Start” button when you are ready to get moving. When you finish you need to connect to their web site to upload your exercize and that's it.

I believe he's asking if he needs the internet/data package from his carrier in order to use this. I believe the answer is no. The GPS in this software doesn't connect to the internet like google maps does.
Aha I understand, I was thinking about the same. The answer is no, you don't need internet/data package
Love this app, I have been using it as well.
thnks for this link. its a great s/w
Thanks looks good

[Help PLEASE] Spectrum/Charter Cable App Without "hdmi" detection

Looking for a working Spectrum TV app, modded to get rid of HDMI detection.
Thank you.

I am wondering if anyone can get rid of the "HDMI Detection" for the Spectrum/ Charter Cable App from PlayStore. I'd like to use it on my Firetv box so that my kids can watch cable in their room since I can't afford to pay for another cable box.. I would greatly appreciate the help. Below is a link to the app from my Dropbox. Thank you.

Bet you'll be heavily contributing to the FTV(S) sceen. Welcome aboard.
After your done playing with the Spectrum App. If you get bored or have some time. Maybe you can take a look at the ATT UVerse apps (FireTV & PlayStore) to see if they can be modded. Specially to bypass the root check.
I can quickly test any mod you send/post. PM me any time.
Here are some mods that might help on Spectrum & other apps too:

Thank you my friend! With TWC switching to Spectrum, am losing channels left and right, and now a set top box is needed on every TV.. No thanks, I was happy with my 2-71 channels with just a direct cable, so the FireStick was something I wanted anyway, so I decided to pull the trigger on it, to quickly find out the app is supported :silly::laugh:
Hopefully myself or someone else can get this sorted out as it's a great MOD that was created and I hope I can revive it. There is so much info though, and just making the ones today took hours, but the confusion is that I am making literally the same edits as the app that is linked here into the new app but yet it just isn't taking, so maybe some new checks are in place, but I couldn't find them. But with a device for myself to test will save some good time, and it's always a good learning experience.
I know how it goes. To me the process or learning experience can be even more fun or rewarding then even a positive outcome. Gotta enjoy the road. Not just the destination. I've been in the FTV(S) sceen for over two years. And it's been a blast. Hope you enjoy it as much as I have. As much fun as it's been. This relatively cheap devices really solved a ton of content access problems too.

modified VLC media player for 5th gen Fire7

Although the Fire7's display has a 16:9 aspect ratio, videos are always stretched with black bars at top and bottom due to its non-square pixels. (THIS ONLY APPLIES TO 5TH GEN FIRE7!!!)
I slightly modified VLC to compensate for that error.
Please note that this only works for hardware decoded videos (h264, h265 but not webm)!
It's based on the latest beta version and I changed package name and icon so you can run it side-by-side with the official version.
Hope you like it...
updated to latest beta [3.0.5]:

You have to request developer access and give reasons why you need it - like - what devices are you going to support.
I did request it but as this is really useful to a single device only I'm not expecting them to grant it.
What do you think about the new player hud buttons? Which ones do you prefer?

Okay, I see. It had the original vlc buttons. I didn't like them as the stretching is very apparent with round buttons.
I will use one of the two you suggested although the 30 day expiry could be a good motivation to update regularly

Do you know if it would be possible to implement this for a ROM? Like system wide? So that it would correct it for the entire system instead of just VLC?

Redmi Note 8 pro Netflix can't play HD content.

I just got this phone today and found out that it could not play anything in Netflix in HD. In "test patterns", it only maxes out at 540p with a really low bit rate.
I have done numurous research on different versions of Netflix, but none really worked, not even the modded ones for the Poco phone F1 originally.
The Redmi note 8 pro has widevine L1 and is supposed to play Netflix in HD with no problem, but it couldn't. Anyone has a solution to this problem? And would this problem be solved? I really don't want to wait like how the Poco phone users waited 4 months for that widevine update.
Thanks in advance.

Wooo......slow down there buddy ?. There is always reasons to root. If only to change the bootanimation or to simply stop seeing "Permission Denied". I use Termux a lot and i will get "Permission Denied" for various reasons. It's nice being able to type "su" and seeing $ go to # then typing in that same command and it doesn't hesitate because now your the boss.
Change my mind ?
Yes, I do have an unrootable Note 10, lol (long story). Means nothing, I stand firm
