Can someone recommend a good air mouse that works with NP
appreciate it!
How can a chinese airmouse can be good if everyone are "mouse with Parkinson disease inside" and create also wireless interferences / disturbs in all your house included the wifi signal of your device.

In the past, i tested many airmouse because many are included with chinese android tv box that i bought to create firmwares and make tests. Not because i'm the developer of DroidMote so i want discredit it, but the airmouses are really an horrible way to move the mouse.
Is not precise, you can't assume relaxed position on your couch or your bed, and for scrolling and clicking is a disaster.

I think that users that use an airmouse are masochists. Really :)

But this is Just my opinion, that is not very important.
The important fact instead is that you can use all that you prefer without exception for anyone. Not like Android TV that force you in some directions.

...masochist??? sei fuori di testa , cazzo?

I am trying to set up kodi on nexus player for an older lady, hence the air mouse was her idea, so i was asking if there is a good one
Once in awhile it helps to think outside that little world that there are other non technical people who might wanna use our toys too!
Someone asks a question: Answer it--ignore it..provide an opinion...but for the love of God, leave the sarcasm & bad attitude out.

"leave the sarcasm & bad attitude out..." Should I assume you're acting what you preach? Heheh, I don't see it as an attitude - not in the sense you used it anyway. He spoke his mind. Given he's the one who devised and tested almost everything for the benefit of others like you and me, he's at least entitled to declare his opinions as to what works best or not. I've seen some megalomaniacs who thought their work was godsend that deserved kowtows from those just reading about it. Zulu is nowhere near that league.

Besides, people outside this land think and feel differently. Don't take yourself too seriously thinking you understood what he really meant. It's Christmas time anyway.

@zulu99 - what do you think of incorporating a data2usb capability? My kids keep installing games and not all of them will go to USB so I run out of space. Thoughts?
FolderMount app if work on Android 6. We use FolderMount on older version of Android. Is the best solution because is transparent for the OS and can work with all games. And you have the external disk without encryption so you can use it also on your pc to backup and restore obb You can test also some xposed modules like obb to sd

the default vpn of Android should work . Some apps must be updated to work with Android 6. Is not a firmware problem.
to be sure, test the same app on another android 6 device. Let me know.

Thank you for the prompt response. I can confirm VyprVPN works on my nexus 6p which is on 6.0. I looked up manual conifig settings as you have suggested to use the built-in android VPN connection but this also does not work. I was able to use the manual settings for testing on my 6p but the same setting do not work on this rom.

Attempts to connect but quickly fails showing "unsuccessful" Let me know how I can assist with any trouble shooting.

I will test the built-in vpn. Thanks. maybe i must update the kernel with missing modules.
Can you suggest a free and reliable vpn server that i can use as target for my tests ?

Try this boot.img https://goo.gl/R1lUCc

it worked for me with built-in Android vpn.

if for you all ok, i will update the firmware in the next days. ( i will change only the boot.img that have inside a new kernel )

to install:
unrar the archive and extract the boot.img

fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot


You must re-root with supersu last beta with TWRP recovery if you need root.

Merry Christmas to all.

Thank you! Can you suggest a way of applying this update without having to wipe any data? What'd the recommended procedure here?

Merry Christmas too!

you are not wiping any data with:

fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot


the command to wipe data instead is: fastboot -w

Flashed the boot.img and am able to connect to VPN now using the built in android method. However...there is some funkyness going on with the profiles. For instance, yes I can connect but have no way of disconnecting. I see the key for VPN connected in the top right but see no notifitication which would allow me to dissconnect.

I've tried using Secure Settings which could allow me to connect / dissconnect to a configured VPN profile but even this has an issue populating the saved profiles.

How can I dissconnect the VPN once connected?

Thanks for the ROM zulu99, I just upgraded from lollirock.

Noticed the root step in the OP is more complicated than it need be.
Root worked the same way as it did in lollirock.

get chainfire's CF-root from here: https://download.chainfire.eu/631/CF-R
Then run:
You must root with the last supersu beta 2.65 for android 6 with TWRP as explained in first post, that is also very easy.

The boot.img of this firmware is customized for this firmware and have a custom kernel inside. If you get another boot.img, you lose functionalities.

P.S.
After read better your post, you not flashed another boot.img, but you want use the old boot of NP modified from Chainfire to root. This should not work in the current firmware, however i suggest to install the last supersu beta to be more compatible with Android 6

I not correct my post, because i want that users know that the boot.img of this firmware contain others customizations in kernel and ramdisk and if you install another boot.img, you lose some functionalities.

Reinstall boot and system, wipe and root with last supersu from twrp

Unfortunately this does not work. Clicking on the profile once connected does not bring up any dialog. Are you able to disconnect on your end via the method you have mentioned?
Set the pin and reboot the device the first time.

create the vpn connection and connect.

when you are connected, click on your vpn profile and you should see the status dialog also with a disconnect button.
like in the screenshot that i taken from my nexus player with android 6.0.1 inside

http://s12.postimg.org/km6yqikvx/Screenshot_Dec_27_2015_7_47_51_AM.png

P.S.
To see active profiles at next reboot, you must insert the pin. Is requested when you click the + sign to add another vpn. when you insert the pin, you will see also your stored profiles.

For others: we are using the new boot.img uploaded above that supports vpn.
