I have that problem ...

So I downloaded firmware V2852 and IUW and tried the update method to V2852 using the SD card. Just it doesn't work. It says "copying from SD card", but doesn't actually copy anything. It does not take < 1 minute but more 3-5 seconds. I looked at the SD card which IUW produced, but it looked to me as if it was empty, what would explain a lot.

So I wonder if I shall either find out why my SD card is empty or if I shall switch to the USB method.

If I were to use the USB method, I obviously need a Male-A <-> Male-A USB cable, which is not so easy to find. And I read a couple of warnings like "many cables available have the wronng wiring".

So can anyone enlighten me what would be the proper wiring? Is this OTG (USB on the Go, Wikipedia:USB_On-The-Go, mustn't post links yet) what I am looking for?

Alternatively, hints on why my SD card prepared by IUW is empty are welcome.

launcher pro

I for one would like this pulled out so I can load in my own version..

As when I try to install my own Pro version.. it won't let me..

thus this is why I have had to go to ADW..

Any one know a work around to unpack the .zip file and put in my own version?

Thanks for you help here.

But I am stuck with the same problem again.

I flashed the tablet with V4 (which went to the unlock screen but didn't work at unlocking or accessing the OS), then reflashed with V5 and now I am back to the calibration screen which just freezes.

Anyone know if there is a V6 coming? Also I have looked around for a male-male USB cable and they are pretty hard to find. :(
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] vihtor:
If you have minimal expirience just cut two male-female cables and connect male parts directly one to other. It's very simple - connect red wire with red, black with black, etc

Mod with working 3g?

I've made ​​some changes to improve mod from verandi.

Changes:

Changed busybox.

Theoretically built-in support 3G-modems (Huawei only). Not tested. Needs testing this feature. Based on work from s0l which published on that forum.

Is here.

PS

Spoken to s0l. Made some changes. Link changed. Stupid bug. I forgot to set suid bit on the pppd.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dgcruzing:
barsuk ,verandi and of course stragulus for the base..

Will flash it today and give some feed back..

As a note.. I noticed that the first v5 is a little heavy on the Battery..

are we able to flash another Kernel? something like the netarchy-toastmod-4.2.1-cfs-bfq-havs-more-smartass-universal-signed.. or am I dreaming?

Edit : Flashed fine..

as usual first boot takes a while..

Not sure as yet if both sdcards slots are going.. had to do a reboot and pop card to top slot for TB to see the card..

just loading in the backup now.. will come back and give more feed back over the next few days..

Thanks..

One of the guys has just come back from China with one of these, worked out at about £68, not the best tablet in the world but will do for basic stuff..

I take it outside of a custom ROM theres not a lot else that can be done with them?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] _barsuk_:
It would be nice.

This firmware is uses kernel from 3245. Battery indicator may not work. Replaced rild and a few libraries and apps. Now tablet continuously looking for gsm network. Because is phone's OS. And 3g works with gsm part of OS.

Lack sources and information for CPU. You are just dreaming. ;)

Is there actually an official Froyo update for these, have spoken the chap who brought it back and he was told it had 2.2 on it when it quite clearly was 2.1...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pelicango:
Can I flash it back to stock with SD card ?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] TorstenS:
Can anyone confirm he did that and it did not toast the USB chip on either side of the cable?

I mean, if I do it like that, it will mean that I also connect two power supplies to each other, right?

And as there has been the warninig multiple times on this forum that many cables on eBay are not properly wired, I wonder how the *wrong* wiring may look like if it's so straight forward.

Sorry if I am overly careful here, but I really don't want to destroy my hardware on either side of the cable.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] vihtor:
I am made A-A cable with this method. And i am flashing my Superpad with these handmade cable. Just make it not long 8-10 inch is enough.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] TorstenS:
I am not using WinHEx. I understand WinHEx is a tool I would need to write an SD image onto the SD card. I do that in Linux with dd. And that worked fine, by the way.

But the Firmware V2852 which I need to flash first comes as a IUS file which I understand belongs to the IUW application where I have no idea at all what that application is made for and what format a IUS file may have.

I tried some analysis, but couldn't figure out anything and it also seems Google never heared of that file format.

So my problem isn't HinHEx but IUW.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Jiggity Janx:
You can find the IUW software to use the IUS file in the FLASHING V2852 section of the OP (original post).

Have been able to load juice defender on to it..then i topped it up a few times today on charge.. then i ran it for 2.5 hours and it didn't even drop off 100%.. Humm.. will leave it on over the weekend and see what i get.. as with any om..got to let it settle in.. note..i did wipe battle stats before flashing this Rom

Using better keyboard..but finding it sticky in dolphin..

Moon reader going nice...

Almost over it..i think this will be the last of the flashing.. can't wait for the HTC pad so i can settle it down like my phone..

This flytouch just doesn't have the memory or right usage of the CPU to make it any Rmore then a slow web browser and not a bad reader..wouldn't call it a game machine .. or even a GPS machine..unless you leave it stripped down for this..

With swap partition on sd-card possible some improve working speed.

For that:

1 - Create linux swap partition on sd-card.

2 - Swapon it at load OS (swapper 2, autostart etc.) and set swappiness to 20.

3 - Do some changes into /system/build.prop. Add this:

persist.sys.vm.heapsize=48m
dalvik.vm.heapsize=48m
vm.heapsize=48m
hw.ramsize=256m
dalvik.vm.heapstartsize=8m

4 - Reboot tablet.

It works in my case with swap around 512MiB. Sd-card class 10.

looks like it has gone back to

you said last night..

So looking at these numbers...

2.1-update1 V1.8#2752 new download via update on pad..

2.1 v1.9 (2852) .. your version..

looks like a reflash back to 2.2 as it seems stable enough..

and yes.. i have lost my camera.. but I think that goes back to having to use the iuw file..

How can I check that this is a true 2.2 update? is there a way of confirming it is a froyo build?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Trig0r:
I went down to the original (according to epad.hk) fw of 1568 nad had no camera, then went to 2852 no camera, now on this 2.2 posted further up and still no camera, guy that gave me the tablet cant confirm camera working when he had it originally either :/

I also flashed both the u-boot-nand.bin files and that had no bearing on camera...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dgcruzing:
well it seems stable enough..

I got Marketing going..

at first it wouldnt let me register..

then opened Dolphin.. logged in to google via my google account..

Then back to Market.. and it let me register and log in..

it is also letting me pull down my brought applications..

Dolphin is moving faster then using _barsuk_ build.. (sorry.. just reporting..but mind you as yet I have not put all the apps back in via TB.. will confirm once I do that.. also I am using the stock launcher at the moment.. so will check if things slow down once I load up launcher pro.. )

I will be stoked to get Jamie Olivers 20 minute meals going on it.. as I got it on my phone.. so if I can get this plus the book reading going.. will be a happy chappy...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] _barsuk_:
Not surprising. My firmware is at alpha stage. Need to verify 3g work. Some speed improvements will be made ​​later.

Some questions for.

Can be installed angry birds with inserted sd-card?

Does it works with 3g modems?

Are there any artifacts on the screen when installing app?

PS

What contains in the /system/build.prop?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dgcruzing:
this is it..

interesting that you can see "persist app2sd".. but it is enabled=0

can we change this to allow app2sd ?

I am downloading angry birds now.. .will give load it soon and post back..

K..it loaded without pulling out the SDcard1..

It loaded in to the dir "sdcard" that has been setup on the install..

This is where the other programs are loading to..

Angry birds is playing beautiful on this build.. lol.. I might even have to start playing games..

Jamie Olivers 20 minute meals has loaded well too and all video's playing..

but its a little hungry on space.. so once I have done with some of the video's will wipe.. as its running @350meg
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] _barsuk_:
Seems to really 2.2.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dgcruzing:
yes, and it seems they have setup a internal sdcard for apps..

kinda like a fake apps2sd..

I am showing..

Free space internal 908.43 of 984MB

SD 57.45 of 511MB

A lot of this is being taking by J.O program at this stage..

but this is also proving a problem for TBackup as it only wants to see backups on the /sdcard and I cant get it to point to the /sd1 which is the new path for the sdcard slots..

but as this Rom comes with the program APKmanager.. then it will can any sdcard 1 or 2 and usb and give you a option to load all your programs in on batch..

so its kinda like a backup anyway..

So far.. I am liking this... running smooth..

Working and rooted.

I installed #3656 first and skipped the UO file when installing this and everything worked great. I installed the newest UO 0.6.1.5 () too and root seems to work after that too.

What I really like with this release is that swedish language is included (was missing in all updates after 1623) and ofcourse that it's Froyo!

To get Titanium Backup to work you will have to copy your old TitaniumBackup folder from the SD card to the new created when you installed TitaniumBackup, after that TitaniumBackup will find all your backuped apps.

It seems like both Flytouch2 and Flytouch3 are at version #3925, maybe the are compiling new versions for both pads at the same time now, so we can count on a new version when Flytouch3 gets one?

- The camera is not working anymore, the preview screen shows green or sometime other colors...

- A lot of apps are pre-installed, meaning that it is impossible to update them (Dolphin Browser, Skype, Facebook etc...)

- Is it possible to install Flash Player on it? Will it work? Does anybody tried?

- Is it possible to overclock the Flytouch2 with this rom? Is the kernel overclockable?

I tried to find the file \system\app\install-flash-player.apk but it doesn't exist in our 256Mb Flytouch...so I directly installed the new Flash Player from the link above but nothing changed with the Flash videos colors, even after a restart.

For those who want use sdcard instead of NAND partition in new firmware.

Unpack ramdisk.img.

Edit init.rc:

Change

export EXTERNAL_STORAGE /mnt/sdcard

to

export EXTERNAL_STORAGE /sdcard

Change

symlink /mnt/sdcard /sdcard
symlink /mnt/sdcard/sdcard1 /sdcard1
symlink /mnt/sdcard/sdcard2 /sdcard2

to

symlink /mnt/sdcard/sdcard1 /sdcard
symlink /mnt/sdcard/sdcard1 /sdcard1
symlink /mnt/sdcard/sdcard2 /sdcard2
symlink /mnt/sdcard /local

Pack ramdisk and flash into tablet.

NAND partition Local will be in /local. Upper SDCard slot will be in /sdcard (compatibility for some app's) and /sdcard1 (default for firmware).

Ugly, I know but that works.

Yes you can rename it with Root Explorer, you have to activate the "mounted as R/W" ("read and write"). Otherwise it stays in RO ("Read only"). And of course your tablet has to be rooted...

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dgcruzing:
Why would you want to go back to 2.1 when you can get 2.2

and some of the Wow apps are not so bad..

or use Titanium backup to freeze the ones you don't want..

But if its any good.,,

upload it to a file share site and let us have a look at it..

my questions would be..

has it got Apps2sd?

As this is the main thing we need to free up the internal storage...

that would be the only advantage at this stage, to make me think about dropping backwards..

Post a screen snap of what memory you are getting after first boot..

on the new Rom I am getting at least 54k of free after I have used autostart killers and killed all unnecessary system apps.. this is giving me plenty to run games like Angry birds with out lag.. and browse the net fast enough..

Also hows your calibration? as that has been one of the main problems so far with Roms..
