Managed to compile CM12 for the tablet but as of now I am having issues getting it to boot to the GUI, or at least the boot animation. As I mentioned on the XDA thread I end up with the following message:

Code:
E/hwcomposer( 2317): [BLIT] sw_sync_timeline_create failed, aborting

...along with a few other errors that may or may not have anything to do with the problem. Maybe perhaps one or more of you guys have a spare Epic handy and are willing to lend a hand with this project of mine. Smile]]>

Can be flashed through SP Flash Tool v5.1744 or later using the stock 1.1.95 ROM. Usual precautions of course.
Basic functionality works, e.g. backup, ZIP flash, ADB/MTP and so on. This is by and large a better alternative than using Kingoroot or any of those shady root utilities, not to mention it allows users especially parents to back up stuff from their kids' Epics prior to a factory reset or some other repair job.

Always observe common sense and make backups before doing anything drastic, OK?

A number of people, parents to be specific, have been asking as to how can they install Google Play Services on their children's LeapFrogs. Unfortunately, this involves rooting the device, mostly using utilities such as Kingoroot. In my case, only the PC version of Kingoroot works; Kingroot may also work, but the default Kids Launcher spazzes out for some reason, making it unusable.

Prior to rooting, you need to install the necessary ADB drivers (I think Windows 10 will have that installed automatically), then enable USB debugging using the Developer Options shortcut in Pollywog or some other developer options shortcut app (tapping the Build Number item in About device does nothing, unfortunately).

After that, install Kingoroot on your PC, then follow the on-screen instructions. Once you get your Epic rooted, follow the instructions in the guide here to replace the Superuser app with SuperSU: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android...y-t3573361

You may want to mount /system as read-write as this involves copy/pasting files to /system. This tool should come in handy in that case.

Now on to the fun part:

Unfortunately I haven't found a working method to get Google Play to work on the Epic without root. cobalt232's modded Play Store sort of works at most when paired with microG, but it is unable to install apps. Sideloading Play Store to system should be easy once rooted though. Copy the four APK files from this ZIP to /system/priv-app using X-Plore or some other root file manager, and make sure the permissions are set to 644:

[Image: L12B1hZ.png]

Once that's done, restart your device, then check your parental controls menu to see if Google Play store runs correctly:
[Image: 1SwPOGc.png]

From there you can now download the likes of YouTube Kids and other such applications which aren't available on Amazon or LeapFrog's own app store. Wink

I also recommend using an ad blocker such as AdAway to keep those pesky banner ads from showing up on your kids' games; don't get me wrong, those ads are there for a reason, but they are sometimes so pervasive that it can be harmful to your kids.]]> DISCLAIMER: I am NOT in any way responsible for any data loss or hardware damage caused by unsupported software on your LeapFrog Epic.

I know this involves root, as not all parents are up to it, but in case you feel like your son or daughter's LeapFrog isn't cutting it, I found out a few more tweaks which should add a bit more functionality and make it more usable.

As I said earlier, this requires root, which can be done using one-click utilities. The PC version of Kingoroot should do the trick. Once you root your device, you'll also have to install Xposed for the other tweaks to run.

Bring back the recent apps button
I'm sure you've noticed that the navigation bar on the Epic lacks the recent apps button for some reason. 'Tis uncertain as to why, but my hunch is that LF decided to dummy it out to keep children from opening it by accident. Fortunately, the ROM is still largely AOSP-based so it's just the matter of using Xperia/AOSP Navbar Buttons to gain back task switcher access. GravityBox for Kitkat seems like a viable option as well, though I haven't tried it myself yet.

Home sweet home
Ever grow tired of the KidLauncher? That rather infantile app drawer you or your kids are subjected to every time you play with the Epic? For a while I thought it's a matter of modding the framework files to get alternative home screens to install, but turns out it's no different from restoring SD card read-write functionality.

Assuming you've rooted your device already, mount /system as read-write using either ADB or Terminal:
Code:
mount -o rw,remount,rw /system

Once that's done, navigate to /system/etc/permissions then open tablet_core_hardware.xml using a text editor. Look for the following lines:
Code:
<!--feature name="android.software.app_widgets" /--> <!-- Not available in Narnia -->
<!--feature name="android.software.home_screen" /--> <!-- Not available in Narnia -->

...then replace the commented settings with this:
Code:
<feature name="android.software.app_widgets" />
<feature name="android.software.home_screen" />

Save your edited XML file, and then reboot. If done correctly, you should be able to install any home launcher you want. However, you'll have to freeze/disable KidLauncher and Launcher using ROM Toolbox or some other utility for your favourite launcher to work as default.

There are some caveats to using an alternative home screen though. One of them is that the navigation bar may disappear or that some of the soft keys may refuse to show up upon running certain apps (e.g. LeapFrog games). A workaround would be to open up App Manager for the missing keys to appear again. Another issue is with user profiles - as the login screen is built into KidLauncher, disabling it would render your children's profiles (and thus time restrictions and other parental controls) useless, plus rewards and other items earned may not show up (I presume this is due to the alternative home screen being counted as a different "user"). One could try using a third-party parental control panel app, but that would require another setup phase as it isn't weaved into LeapFrog's own parental controls service.]]>

Quote:Pollywog - The LeapFrog Epic Toolbox

[Image: EnJGeJ4.png]

Just a minimal utilities menu for LeapFrog Epic, the purpose being to unlock a number of hidden yet useful options that were present in vanilla AOSP but disabled for some reason by LeapFrog. Think of it as like a watered down ROM Toolbox of sorts, but tailor-made for LeapFrog's Android tablet. I came up with this as switching to another hotspot is a bit of a chore, so yeah. I know it's simple and all, and my Java skills leave a lot to be desired, but I hope this would be of some use to you guys.
Features
  • Shortcuts to commonly-used and some advanced Android features (WLAN and previously hidden stuff like the MTK engineer menu, lockscreens and developer options)
  • A link to the LeapFrog support page
  • And many more being planned

Planned stuff
  • A root exploit perhaps?
  • Cache cleaner
  • A terminal emulator
  • Enhancements to the parental controls/restrictions feature (considering how these can be bypassed somewhat Tongue)

This app is released under the CC0 1.0 Universal (CC0 1.0) Public Domain Dedication licence (https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/)

Feel free to do whatever you want with this guys. I don't really have much time with maintaining this, so pull requests, forks or whatever are welcome. Big Grin]]> https://github.com/huckleberrypie/pollywog

Big Grin]]> <![CDATA[An open letter to LeapFrog.]]> https://spiffyhacks.harmonypogo.com/thread-1067.html Sun, 05 Mar 2017 07:52:41 +0000 https://spiffyhacks.harmonypogo.com/thread-1067.html OK, so a bit of a rant, though for one I gotta give LeapFrog some credits to this. Sure, repairs are a service centre away, and the main market for this device are kids and their parents, but what about the more tech-savvy parents (e.g. geeks or tinkerer types) who'd certainly re-purpose or service their kids' Epics either because it broke down or gone on a boot loop for some reason?

You see the main thing with this is the preloader, or other words the bootloader, is locked from tampering, making it next to impossible to use custom ROMs or kernels. You can somehow subvert this by editing just the system.img offline assuming you extracted it off your device, or in the case of backups, backing up the whole ROM image, boot/recovery and other images included, to a single ROM_0 file, and flashing it back using the hidden Write Memory feature in SP Flash Tool.

The problem is when you need to replace boot.img with a different one - you simply can't. Flashing unsigned images gives out a BROM 6045 (S_SECURITY_SECURE_USB_DL_IMAGE_SIGN_HEADER_NOT_FOUND) error, and if you did manage to do so through the aforementioned Write Memory tool, at most you're stuck with the LeapFrog logo unless a kernel the preloader seems happy with is flashed back.

Granted, I see the reason why LeapFrog had Quanta Computer (i.e. the OEM responsible for manufacturing the Epic) lock the thing down to prevent unauthorised tampering and/or security issues, but what's the point of sending my friend a CD-ROM of the kernel sources? Sure, they'd say it's for auditing purposes or merely for compliance with the GPL, but as the company has had a history of being chill with tinkerers, why wouldn't they at least offer an option to unlock it? It may be of little use to an average parent, and it's moot as you can develop apps without having to poke into the low-level internals, but why not, if one's going to unlock an Epic's bootloader in good faith? We've seen the likes of is0-mick loading up random stuff on their LeapFrog devices, and the lads over at Emeryville doesn't seem to object much - in fact, a company engineer stopped by the Spiffy Hacks forums and told his tale about the LeapTV.

If any one of you LeapFrog employees, like engineers or perhaps just staff members, are reading this right now, I'd be more than happy to have a talk with you. I do understand if you want nothing to do from this especially in this day and age where even electronic toys are scrutinised for security issues, but this isn't about pwning some boy or girl's toy for nefarious means, it's to re-purpose or make the most out of something which would be obsolete in a few years - let's say that one's son or daughter outgrew the tablet or simply got burned out by it, and his mum or dad would like to turn it into some mobile internet device where they could check their emails without being subjected to something infantile. I'd basically be more than happy to recommend your company to anyone who is interested in an educational toy for their children rather than just buy a regular tab and have them play (possibly) inappropriate content on said devices, so as long as you provide us advanced users the means to unlock and re-purpose or service these Epics in good faith.]]> OK, so a bit of a rant, though for one I gotta give LeapFrog some credits to this.

Quote:Well, my only problem with the device is that the input method and locale selection is locked down and selected by the "Device Locale" screen, instead of allowing the much more granular selection allowed from the Android settings screen itself. I have determined that the same lockdown prevents bluetooth keyboards from pairing properly with the device.

The option to enable installation of packages from untrusted sources is still in the android security screen in settings tho, and you will be instructed to turn it on as part of the steps to install the Amazon AppStore.

ETA: I'd be overjoyed if someone here is generous enough to provide an SP Flash Tool package for the tab, too.]]>
