Dear author, I have the tablet: Ainol Novo 7 Basic
Installed this firmware: ainol . com / update_novo7basic20120105.zip
I tried both APK-files (1.0 and 1.1) from the top threads, but none of them are not installed.
Please help!

Superuser app and Magic Code

I have some problem with Magic Code under the latest 4.0.3 for Novo 7 Basic.
It works, but after flashing Superuser, it stoppes working ("Turning on/off fails"). Flashing CWM is OK, only superuser causes problems. Even if I allow superuser rights to everything, the problem remains. Any idea?
Thanks!

Same problem as bazsoczi

My Novo 7 is runing 4.0.3 and after superuser it just died. Should I delete superuser? would that help?

B&N Nook and Paradise Island work

Big thanks! Novo 7 Basic ICS 4.01, I loaded magic, then used ES Explorer to copy the apk's from my GTab to the lan and then onto the Novo. Both installed and run happily.

it doesn't work correctly on 4.0.3, e.g. ftp plugin in total commander doesn't work, but in 4.0.1 with magic code works and other apps don't work too

:)have a try at our new codemagic v1.3

with both 3.2 4.01 4.03 support

First of all thanks for the great effort -- all we MIPS tablet owners owe you, and follow this with great interest.

We could all benefit from a few details on how to better use the application.

In the FAQ you say we should wait "a few minutes" after activating magiccode. Is there any indication of when it might be "ready"? indeed it seems it takes a while after activation.

Secondly, if I install an application with MC v1.1 active, and then update MC to v1.3, should I reinstall the application? I am asking because a few applications I had working on my Novo7 Basic 4.0.3 on MagicCode v1.1 have stopped working on v1.3 -- for example, Acrobat Reader. It jusgt quits abruptly now, whereas it worked perfectly before.

In general, it is not clear how upgrading the application affects those applications that were installed while a previoius version was active.

This app is great.
Thanks to this I havnt thrown my n7b into the wall (yet, lol) :)
The update improved compability a great deal for me (running HC).
Most apps now actually install, compared to not installing at all. Unfortunely most crashes/blackscreens, but its progress!

And I am actually able to play Gangstar MV now! (one of the apps that didnt install at all with 1.1)

Keep up the excellent work :cool:

Now, if only I could get order and chaos working (that game looks like a lot of fun)

    This is a dev version of MagicCode

    wiki
    --------------------------------------------------------
    Q :What is MagicCode?
    A: MagicCode is a software designed by "c0demag1c dev team"to make it possible to run a arm based nativec apk on a mips device.It change the .so in the apk to the mips mode directllllly so that users can run a arm-apk easily. Up to now,we have tried to run a lot of apps and both of them is working well now.
    ---------------------------------------------------------
    Q:Who designed the MagicCode?
    A:eek:f course.Us,the DEV team"c0demag1c"
    ---------------------------------------------------------
    Q:Using the MagicCode,can all of the arm based app working?
    A:No,just as I said,it's still a dev version and there are still work we need to do to fix the MagicCode.So u can only run a few apks which they don't work before on ur mips device.Don't reply us about xxx apk can't work with MagicCode.We'll try to fix it but we can't promise it will be perfect.
    ----------------------------------------------------------
    Q:How can i install the magicCode?
    A:It's quite simple,we test our apk on Ainol Novo7 Basic and Knight with 3.2HoneyComb and 4.01 ICS Custom Rom.So,if u have the same device(or other device running the android 3.2 rom),u can install the apk as the other apk such as FaceBook,Twitter. And then,what u need to do is just open the apk and then trun on it,waiting for a few minutes and emjoy urself!.
    ----------------------------------------------------------
    Q: U want to join us?
    A: we have receive a few message like this,but to be honest it's just not the right time for more people join our dev team now,quite sorry but thx for understanding.
    -----------------------------------------------------------
    Q:Hi,shall v paid to u if v want to install this apk into our custom/offical rom?
    A:never mind,u can use it freely.MC is an software for free,we have our own donation providet.

    Hi,

    If anyone is having problems activating Magic Code ("Magic Code ON failed") as I was having on ICS 4.0.3 on a Novo 7 Basic (Paladin should be the same), here is why. The installed busybox version is probably faulty, so I compiled it on my own. Here's the link, hope it'll be helpful for someone: http://www.mediafire.com/?2ryf21mikwnwewf

    What you have to do to replace:
    Code:
    adb shell mount -o remount,rw /system
    adb shell mv /system/bin/busybox /system/bin/busybox.old
    adb push busybox /system/bin/
    adb shell chmod 755 /system/bin/busybox
    adb shell mount -o remount,ro /system

    To restore the old one:
    Code:
    adb shell mount -o remount,rw /system
    adb shell rm /system/bin/busybox
    adb shell mv /system/bin/busybox.old /system/bin/busybox
    adb shell mount -o remount,ro /system

    Good luck ;)

    im still unable to edit the build.prop in a way so the device can still boot up and arm apps apear on market. But that is a totally diferent matter.

    So far its good, mame4droid run slow for some reason, but other emus are now working and run fine.
    If you can check why skype and netflix arent working, i think me and every basic user will be very gratefull.

    BTW, i have a question, the .so libs are "translated" to mips in real time or they are "translated" when installed? if the second is the case, it shouldt be easier to do a program that transate the .so files in a apk offline in any desktop pc? with that you dont need to worry about android versions.
