[Q] Ad-Hoc Network Detection

I recently purchased an AR Drone from Parrot, and am trying to connect it to my EVO (rooted, running MikFroyo 4.5). It seems that the EVO cannot recognize the ad-hoc network that the Drone broadcasts. Is there a ROM or kernel that I could use to allow it to detect an ad hoc wifi network?
I'd rather not apply an infrastructure patch to my brand new drone, instead just messing with the phone I mess with all the time. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Answered my own question
Well, I just answered my own question, and figured I'd share with everyone else. I just tested this at my local Brookstone store (I'm friends with the store manager) and was able to fly theirs as well as my own.
From what I've done, the process to make any ROM Ad-Hoc compatible is pretty simple, although you do need adb.
First step, go into a command window, and with your phone connected to your computer run "adb shell wpa_supplicant -v".
This will spit out some information regarding the wpa security measures in place on your particular ROM. What we are looking for is the set of numbers it shows.

See where it says 0.5.11? That's what we want. It could also show 0.6.xx. Either way, that determines which of these zip files you should flash onto your phone. After it is flashed, your phone will be able to recognize and connect to Ad-Hoc networks, they will be displayed in the WiFi setting menu as (*)NETWORK_NAME.
If you are showing a 0.5.xx number download the file "wpa_adhoc-signed.zip"
If you are showing a 0.6.xx number download the file "wpa6_adhoc-signed.zip"
Last second notes: This works on ALL phones and ALL ROMs, you do need to check the wpa_supplicant data on each phone and ROM, it is usually different per unique setup. Also, the app I used to fly the Parrot AR.Drone is free, it is called AR.Pro Lite and is on the Android Market for any phones that are already Ad-Hoc capable or enabled.
That should be it, go out and see the (more) complete world of WiFi, and enjoy your new toy if you so wish!

[Q] MIUI rom problem

after install the rom of MIUI
SD device is not work again,even can't connect to computer
anymethod to write the backup to the GN,does adb shell work?????

1) Gonna need more information to help you.
1a) what MIUI rom did you install and how did you install it
2) what trouble shooting steps have you already taken
3) you should probably look inside the thread from the rom that you used. Also posting your problems in there will most likely get them answered quicker by people who use that particular rom or the developer.

Are you connected to your computer when trying to read the SD card...... that would prevent it and give you that error. Seeing the android icon in the corner makes me think so
Android - making grown men pee sitting down since 2.0

Can i use the adb shell putting the backup into the "'internal'" storage

No it doesn't.. that is a feature of MTP you can use the phone and virtual SD even while connected to a computer.. it is a problem with the MIUI rom.

FTV trying to update.. But not done so yet

I purchased 3 FTVs for my home net purely to run xbmc and dont have a lot of interest in amazon prime or the stock FTV setup.
2 of the 3 boxes were fine, blocked updates on my net, rooted, disabled updates, XBMC on, everything worked great. Still need to do some tweaking but all good.
1 of the 3 boxes already knew of the update, and is trying to get it, but is of course blocked. As I have never booted it, I have no way to know what FW its on now.

I have tried waiting of course.. Tried pulling the network cable after it finds the DHCP and before 'checking for updates' (actually doesnt say that it seems to already 'know').
Is there a way of resetting the knowledge of the update ??
What is my best course of action with the greatest probability of securing root ??
Is there a way of stopping an update if I let my router connect to the update links ?? As I have never done that I dont know how the process goes ??
Or is there a way of on the first boot, when it updates, enabling ADP and rooting and disabling before the next boot (I read this works but perhaps not in this situation, eg from a normal boot not a first boot).
Lastly, I am not in the US, I dont know if it will even allow me to get the updates outside of there and I cant VPN via my router.. Which would lead to a useless if not bricked FTV stuck in a loop of an update it cant get.
Sorry for the Qs.. I did search but theres a lot of variables and one mistake could lose root on this box, where possibly the right combination or sequence can preserve it.

http://www.aftvnews.com/how-to-unbr...ry-mode-and-factory-reset-the-amazon-fire-tv/
Just did this.. With a reset of user data and cache.. really thought it would it would work..
Booted.. had to discover the remote.. then.. Exactly the same.. Update detected (blocked with openDNS) and in the same loop ??
Can I block update system by ADP ?? Given the recovery option of update by ADP, is that any use here ??

Sideloaded Kodi but wont launch

Hi Peeps,
Being the proud new owner of an AFTV, I decided to install Kodi on my shiny new device.

When I launch kodi, I am even getting the splashcreen saying "preparing for first run please wait...."

As soon as "starting Kodi" appears I am back to my settings menu.
I thought it might be the version of Isengard (I d/loaded the ARM version) of 15.1 and even 15.0 but still having the same issue.
Any thought on this at all
Thanks !!

**BUMP**

Bumping is a no no on xda, especially on a day old thread.

Check how much storage space is available on your device. This is a common occurrence if the device's storage is full. You may need to delete the thumbnail folders in Kodi and/or the temp files (if you're using zero cache).

I have the same problem, its there when i try to launch application but just screen flicks and returns to the launch screen again. Also happens with tvmc even tried loading them on with agkfire from android tablet aswell as abdfire. Im totally stuck and cant find anything on the net to solve it. Fire box as new yesterday and has 4.7gb free space. How do I delete the thumbnail folders/temp files? Any help appreciated!

Help with MTCD_MX - A-MEDIA AUTO - PX5 on Android 6.01

Hi guys, just got an android unit for my Citroen C4L. Got it used and it came with everything including the canbus.
Before installing on my Car I wanted to test it out and upgrade to Android Pie but even after reading I have a few questions that I hope someone can help me:
- Below is the config for the unit. Its a 2GB/32GB PX5 unit.

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
- I already found versions 2.79 up to 2.90 for MTCE_MX but I have no clue on how to update (and if its needed for something)
EDITED: Nevermind that one, got the .img file for MX2_3.13 from May/19 and updated fine
- The unit has only one button, being the reset button. I tried holding for 15-20 second, letting it go and pressing it again in order to try to get into recovery without sucess. Any other known method?
EDITED: After having built a OTG cable and sucessfully connected to the computer I tried using the keyboard to get into recovery cause, why not. Worked perfectly (Holding Alt GR + prints scr and pressing E repeatedly)
- How can I find the version of the BT module? To be sure isnt the one that has issues with android 8/9
EDITED: When I go to factory setting is showing SD-968 but since you can change this setting Im not sure if its the correct module being showed
-The Unit had a SD card slot but when I open a File Manager, it says "SD CARD not available", and when I insert the card, I get a USB STORAGE so my guess is that the SD card slot is just an USB 3 port, meaning theres no way to upgrading android from it correct?
- Would paying the 10 Euro be most practical method for me for the upgrade? Doing that way can I downgrade back to 6.01 is something were to go wrong?
- It is possible for me to run into any incompatibility from the current canbus?
Thanks!

Well, for know I was able to full flash an OREO image with the OTG cable, and then update to the latest Hal9K release.
I noted the serial number changed. Contacted Hal to see if its possible for me to go directly to android 9.0 (paying the 10 EUR)
