Since many people are requesting for TJstyle's oc'd kernel.I modified this ROM to add the kernel and some other stuff.

Here is the download link:

Have installed this rom and the dark tremor update but my phone storage is still decreasing when I install apps. I have set up an ext 4 partition on my sd card.

:'(
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] haree:
hi

1. install the rom only & restart the phone dont do any wipe

2.install the Darktremor & restart the phone it should work it worked for me :D
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] nictes75:
Sorry for my bad English. I installed this rom but the language is not Italian. it is possible in this language? thanks
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] som097:
Tried the overclocked version tonight, looks good. Benchmark score up to 980.

Could you make a non-overclocked too ? With the latest app2sd.

By the way, the os build shipped with my device (I bought from china) seems newer, the number is 7031_3_310. Never saw this number elsewhere. I can upload if you are interested (bless my crappy broadband) .
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Nos0x:
Got this working better now, though the phone storage is still decreasing when certain apps are installed, but it's not decreasing by how much it would normally be.

Have installed quadrant and with the OC kernel I'm getting around 750 :-/
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] singsong:
thanks for your works :)

just a question....with this ROM I have some difficult with gooogle maps update.

Can't install from market.

Any idea?
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] haree:
hi

i have been using this rom for quite some time i have not faced this problem

try doing a factory/data rest it might solve the problem:)
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] singsong:
so easy? ;)

thanks guy! :)
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Letitride:
Your firmware & build for the VPAD7 is the newest one running ITE (touchscreen) hardware and isn't compatible with this custom ROM build - download & unzip one of the other ROMs to the microSD card, clean system/data/cache/dalvik wipe first before flashing the custom ROM, and you should get touch screen functionality back. If you wanted to TRY, be sure to know what you are doing & know to Restore from a proper ROM Backup (stock/OEM or one of the few alternative ones available)

The maps version running on the newest VPAD7 on Froyo 2.2.2 if I remember is 4.x whereas in the Market, it's now up to 5.8. However, you might NOT want to upgrade as my HTC Eris running GB 2.3.4 (and even newer, faster 1 Ghz devices) are running into problems with Maps & Navigation (framework problems ???) with the last few updates - if it ain't "broken" - don't fix it.

Or if you do insist on doing it, do a ROM and image backup, etc. (haven't try Titanium Backup, etc.) before doing it - my Eris has been rolled back to 5.2 using *.apk pulled and even so, it's still got minor issues when running - at least it won't FC or freeze like 5.6 to 5.8 ....

Your results might and will vary, hopefully different & better than mine thus far - good luck & just my 2 cents of friendly advice from experience.

Regards & have a nice day !
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] norcis:

Btw. quadrant scores 877. What do you do to get >1000?

if u have CWM u can take a Nandbackup and give the same too

so i could try this rom:D
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] akl.glu:
Great ROM!!! I've had it running smoothly for 24 hrs now. Truly nice work!!

A few points I've noticed so far:

1. A2SD wasn't default-in, I had to flash the .zip file myself

2. Adobe flash player still not supported/included

3. Google maps can't be updated through market, every other app seems to be OK

4. Default CPU speed is at 600MHz, how do I go about overclocking it?
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] haree:

How to enable Simplify Chinese Input, cant find option in input language
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] akl.glu:
You need to download something like 'sogu input' from the market. The default input method doesn't support Chinese
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] akl.glu:
I was able to install Google Maps 5.8 in the end by signing the apk file with Zipsigner. but still...would prefer updating throught the market

Anyone can give us an answer to that?

Hi guys,

Need HELP urgently, done everything, EXCEPT my spice mi700 boot up in 'Airplane Mode' , the airmode cannot be undone in setting selection.... all the sifus, any pointers.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Vcrone:
in settings>security try to disable SIM protection (pin) , restart device. If the device is SIM protected my device does not switch from airplane mode to normal. I have always disable SIM protection and enable again to come out of airplane mode.

If Sim protection is disabled at all there is no problem with switching airplane mode.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] syaah:
Hi Vcrone,

Thks for your prompt reply. I had to reflash all over again... its working now.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Letitride:
I use the popular multi-language Go Keyboard (search in "Market") that support both simplified & traditional Chinese characters on VPAD7 - and once downloaded & installed, you can switch to it - numerous configurations that you can customized and fine-tune. To use, toggle from Swype KB to GO KeyBoard, long press on the input/search box and it should pop up - and you can switch back & forth between English & Chinese. This works on the VPAD7 as we haven't got the time to use the sogou pinyin method.

FYI, Swype does support Chinese input but the VPAD7 version(s) do not - it's OEM decision to include or exclude - perhaps the ones sold in Asia/China market will have the option, but definitely not the ones destined & available here in the Americas.

Good luck with it (many choices via the Market) and have fun !
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Vcrone:
With the ROM from post 17 Airplane mode switching works for me now too.

But with my stock ROM it worked only with disabled SIM - PIN. Therefore I never tried it after flashing the new ROM.

THX for the hint.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] anonymouse44:
I solved this by using TB to link Maps to market, then converted it to a system app, then deleted it. Went into market and downloaded 5.8.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] flez1966:
Can I just add I've been using this rom for a while now and its the best thing to happen to my tablet....

One thing, I'd like to edit the bootanim, so I can add my address to it as extra antitheft, I tried using gimp on the png files but the frames I edited are then skipped, whats the magic....
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Letitride:
Just a suggestion or FYI -

Aside from trying to figure out how & what to mount the VPAD in the car for use as over-sized navigation, LOL - while I got a flat car dashboard, haven't found anything solid to secure it without the risk of flying off on turns as it's kind of "heavy" compared to a 4.3" or even 5" Garmin GPS unit.... On topics: Maps 5.8 has been reported as buggy, prone to FC, frozen & random device reboot when used for road trips. (problems cited across numerous Android devices running Maps 5.3 thru 5.8 - a new one 5.9 just released and initial feedback is good.)

There is an *.apk on XDA with build 5.2 that's stable & with minimal to no FC or other problems, just search & download, transfer to SD card, uninstall if running 5.3 to 5.8 - reboot phone & do a dalvik wipe first, and use Astro or ES File Explorer to sideload/install it - and you will enjoy the stability, etc. I ran 5.8 after Market auto-updated it and ran into issues, use the extracted *.apk and no issues whatsoever (did the same for my smaller device running GB.)
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Amalgation:
I've modified an EU Stock image (Android froyo 2.2) to include all the same fixes as the version of googlehome.

Main difference is in the available display languages (standard EU languages) and a new bootanimation I made.

I would post a link to download the update.zip i created, but i'm not yet allowed to post links on my account.:(

So for now anyone interested in trying it will have to pm me for a link.

Hi, [ROM] Viewsonic Viewpad 7 Froyo Enhanced - By lakehousetech ROM's claimed to have 'Enabled Hardware Acceleration', does this ROM do the same? I was curious because I installed your ROM but Angry Birds slows to a crawl.

Hi, that is the one i'm on now. I even have the ext-4 partition update from the second link on Combo #4.

Angry Birds RIO, Angry Birds and Angry Birds Seasons are choppy and horrible. My CPU clock is even at 867 MHz. My only guess is something isn't enabled like Hardware Acceleration. I did put my Swap to 0 MEGs, maybe that is it?

Todd.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Amalgation:
Is your sd card at least class 4 ? Could it be an IO problem and not CPU speed ?
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] toddklost:
Hi, I put in Combo #2 from

and its worse! I'll put back Combo #4 from scratch and try again. So I downloaded the Free Angry Birds Seasons, and that first Level is so brutally slow. Another observation, the free Fruit Slice game, the 3D just looks software emulated, i'm guessing maybe there is no type of GPU in this device? My Micro SD card is a Class 10 Patriot 16 GB.

[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] haree:
hi

u have not read the post see the last line mentioned by me

this : Note : for 3 & 4 combos to work u need to have Ext4 partition done

u can do it via CWM

and this also mentioned in bold im no.3 (only for this ROM ie no : 3 not the others OK)

ie i mean to say that the apps2sd does not work on the other roms

i have tried it. iT only works on no.3 &4
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] norskidamus:
haree, please chck pm. Thanks
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] maxfnz:
Hey - thanks for this build, works great here esp with the overclock; goes really well, although the 2Gb limit for the a2sd partition is a bit of a trap for newbies like me ... I know it's mentioned as a 1Gb recommended in the install notes, maybe you could highlight the limit?

Also, for performance as recently discussed, AB is jitter-free here, with an Adata class 6 16Mb card, BUT I've also got the custom card cache setup @ 3Mb not the standard 128kb ... check in the market for the "SD speed increase"
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] wazzzuuuup2:
with this rom, i cant update my google maps in to 5.8.... any solution?
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Letitride:
I tried loading this ROM earlier and it was no good with mine's ITE touchscreen hardware, however, there's a standalone Maps 5.2 *.apk linked here on XDA (just search for it) and see if you can sideload it or push it (I used Astro File Manager but I believe ES File Explorer should work too.)

Probably need to uninstall whatever verison it's loaded now with this ROM first, then shutdown, go to Recovery & wipe cache & dalvik just in case, reboot again in a "clean" state - then install 5.2 and if you make it, great as it is a stable verison that I've been using for a while.

Actually v5.8 is kind of buggy with problems and v5.9 has been released and initial feedbacks are very good, and it has enhancement and tablet support - I just updated mine and going to road test them later today for navigational purposes.

Good luck & do let us all know how it go - cheers ;)
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] froidsdreud:
I just wanted to let you know I installed it and it works great now, after I went through all the damn bloat with Rootmanager and deleted.

Coupla points of interest...

I installed without partitioning the SD and skipped all steps to do with the 2sd functionality. Worked great doing so. Will come back to those steps at a later time.

Didn't wipe the storage either, which resulted in my old system being preserved on the new ROM, including everything, such as browser bookmarks and saved passwords. Excellent, I'm very happy about that.

Deleted all the Google and stock **** with RootManager - fine. Deleted the new boot animation etc. No problem.

Wifi working perfectly.

SetCPU says 864 mhz maximum :-)

Anything else? I was doubtful about installing this, thought about it alot, but it seems to be working fine, and unless I come back here complaining you can trust it is. So I recommend installing this.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] toddklost:
Hi, did a re-install of combo 4, got that speed bump! (Angry Birds fix) by applying this command after the Darktremor install (from second link in combo#4):

su (set as super user)

In case of ADB: adb shell a2sd convert-ext4

In case of a terminal app: a2sd convert-ext4

On another note, this device is great as a GPS solution for my car, can anyone recommend from the Marketplace a cached (non connected) turn by turn navigation app?

Bricked Viewpad7

Hello folks,

bad news from my Viewpad7

I test the image from this threat (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1224825#) with non working WiFi for my pad.

Then i install the image from googlehome.

(http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=15970641&postcount=17)

For the first five minutes WLAN works well,

the market installs my apps back.

While downloading the pad hangs, then reboots.

After that, no WLAN activation is possible.

1. Turn on WiFi manual unter settings

2. Failure, no activation possible

3. WiFi turns automatic off

repeat steps 1-3 some times (2-3 times),

the pad reboots from self.

So went back to orginal ROM, with orginal bootloader and so on,

but no luck, WiFi is not available anymore :mad:

(http://vsg.viewsonic.com/ViewPad7/)

Here my pad details:

SW Ver: 3.16k

Model : FM6-0001

HW Ver: 103

I have no idea what i can do next,

i think the wlan-card get an wrong firmware an dies.

Hi guys, I flashed this ROM and is awesome, everything works gread but youtube video, dont know if it is the app or the video itself because I fist enconter the same problem (not playing HQ) then some time after it plays well but with green bar on top and bad colors.

do someone have a fix or an idea for this issue?
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] seris:
Hi friends, I believe my vpad7's screen is ITE type, so when I flashed the ROMs here, all hang on the first screen and it's not responding, so anyone could help to build a rom with ITE screen img, thank you so much.............good day.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Letitride:
Lakehousetech's Enhanced Froyo is based on OS 2.2.1 and it does work with newer Vpad7 running ITE touchscreen hardware, links were pulled by OP to be upgraded/updated with ITE drivers, etc. From what I understood, Amalmation is also working on putting one together so that those of us with ITE can have a bit more fun (I uploaded 2 *.img files that's needed with ITE support)

I'm just as eager to run it once it's released, just need a little bit of time and/or patience - to have options to OC'd, etc.

As I mentioned in other posts (since this "base" is still a small circle of users) but the "stock" or factory ROM running 2.2.2 with ITE is really fine for daily use, once rooted, to install anything and practically everything from Google Market (except for Flash Player 10.x - and, I watched YouTube video just fine) Titanium Backup will backup/restore & freeze/uninstall anything not needed, including strip those considered "bloatware" or junk apps that came with the device to optimize storage/memory usage (plus use App2SD to free up more space.)
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] seris:
Thanks for your information, I've managed to update CWM to the latest version for ROM flashing, but have to wait for the new ROM to fit the device, what a xxxx day, I can't stand the CPU speed, even I flashed app2sd, it seems not working. so lets hope not wait too long.............

But I have a few problems is somebody can advise me that would be great.

Firstly any flash content seems to start loading and then the browser shuts this is true for the default browser and dolphin browser too.

I could not get a quadrant score up because it constantly would force close. On the 30th attempt it finally worked and I got a score of 650.

When I use set cpu it also has a low max at 550 ?

2.get Quick system info widget from the market it is free and it will also give u the details u want:D
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] jaredj:
Hi

Thanks for the tip, i have installed this system info app, it gives a lot of info but i was rather interested i this which app is in ext, which on fat32 sd and on the phone interal. Never mind now. I have more important problem - every restart part of widgets are gone, even some i have moved to internal. Only way to get them back is to restore in TB or install again and these will stay until next reboot. Another problem is that i cant install maps. I have tried a way mentioned here with TB and converting to system app but it didnt work.

another problem, which i have experienced before is that in portrait orientation i have the screen upside down. How to fix this (without restarting).

Another (again) thing is - i have tried to install swipe From TB backup from original rom but shuts down itself every time.

Rom is quite nice, only those few things and lack of polish lang and dictionary :(
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] iagorpa:
Hi!

I had the same problem with the touch screen. Could you explain what did you do to solve it??

Thx.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Amalgation:
When you replace the boot img with stock boot img, you get rid of the overclocked kernel with init.d support.

So no startup scripts = no apps2sd

So unless you modify the boot.img Kernel with init.d support this effort seems kind of useless.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] astuermer:
I already have a fine and clean rom on my Viewpad - but I'd like to have the black statusbar at the top! ;-)

So I extracted framework-res.apk and flashed it back to system/app (with a script from the forums here).

After rebooting everything went fine, black bar, green icons, etc. - except the textcolor - it's black too. So the clock on the right side is black text on black background ;)

Did I miss something?
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] lakehousetech:
framework-res only has resources (images..etc)....hence the name. The color of the text on the status bar is changed in the statusbar.xml file located under /base/core/res/res/layout. If your not building from source you are probably missing the already modified package under the frameworks folder. I don't know which one it is off hand, but you should be able to find it with trial and error.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] astuermer:
hmm, i took the framework-res.apk from the rom from the first post here - so the xml with the textcolors should be already included, right?
