hi

thanks for ur reply as i said earlier its not a problem as ur rom has app2sd working:D.

Just an idea for ur future rom see if u may be can make data2sd work on ur rom:)

once again thanks for the nice rom:) & breathing some real life into our Pad:D
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Amalgation:
For the next version I will have a look at data2sd, it looks like it might have some IO benefits beside creating a lot more free space to install apps.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] jaxob:
No flash in this rom cant find it and its not working
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] jaxob:
flash seems to be working but collors are not good there is also a green balk at the top whith youtube

Unfortunately, Wi-Fi is still unavailable to me in v1.3. Other than that I like it :)
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] wazzzuuuup2:
Bro, I have tried to make good look on your rom, and tried to combine your rom with skink123 framework....

I will uploaded it if anyone interested...

I can change the notification bar into transparent one, but i was wondering why i can't put transparent notification windows on it... it remains black...

sorry for my english...

Hi

I think some thing wrong with ur pad

This reply is via my WiFi & lm using 1.3

from My OlivePad via XDA Premium
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] jaxob:
wifi is here working as wel but onlu on high dev youtube film there is a green beam at the top is there anyone more whith that sorry for mij bad englisch
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] haree:
hi

yea +1here i had the same issue. ie a green beam on the top while viewing you tube videos:confused:
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] LayZeeDK:
Wi-Fi works with CleanViewPad and stock ROM, so no. But I only have HWVer 103.

Amalgation, I think that the time in the status bar should be white or light grey. Black is difficult to see with low brightness settings.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] haree:
hi

ok i have HWVer 107 , so maybe ur version doesn't support this is all i can guess:(
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Amalgation:
I know what you mean, but the clock is a part of the os I haven't gotten to yet in v1.3. The framework still has a lot of graphic and fonts work before it's anywhere near where i'd like to have it.

I'm pretty happy with the battery icon mod I've done and am thinking about using the bright green color for all statusbar fonts and icons and reducing the notification area font and bars size for a smaller and cleaner look.

Or would using bright green font everywhere in notification area be a bit too much ?
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] LayZeeDK:
Show us some screens, when you have some more work done and let us decide ;-) Maybe green, maybe blue...
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Amalgation:
Version 1.4 is available for download. (both full and as an update from v1.3) Check the OP for more info.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] dangerdevil:
Just downloading and testing the 1.4 version...

lets test it..

:)
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] dangerdevil:
So, i installed version 1.4 but have no WLAN.

I don´t know, if previous version have the problem too.

I didn´t know how to get the HW and SW-Version of my pad,

there is no menu point in ClockworkMod v2.5.1.2 for that.

Turn on while holding VOL- to enter FTM mode. Use a pin or other thin item to press the RESET-button next to the microphone to reboot afterwards.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] dangerdevil:
OK,

meanwhile i tested the 1.3 version, but WLAN still not working.

[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] LayZeeDK:
Wi-Fi works with CleanViewPad ROM. Can you use his drivers?
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Amalgation:
It's not the drivers, it's something else. I'm working on a 2.2.2 based build with EU localization that should solve the wifi issues for people with HWVer: 103 since it's the same base as Cleanviewpad 1.1

I tried this beta, but I can't even enter settings before I have to Force Close it :(
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Amalgation:
Good thing I called it a beta :P Don't worry, I will keep trying to solve the wifi problems.

I'm currently working on a new rom with official firmware 3310 as it's base and integrated Android2SD instead of Apps2SD, but it's going to be a while until I'm ready to release a proper version. My Dell Streak 5 is arriving today and I will be spending some time modding that baby :)

Hi Great ROM(used 1.4 with integrated Flash) used enhanced Froyo before but this one is even better,

what I like:loading animation v.cool,its very fast ROM,Got wow 130MB free space(integrated) and all apps on SD :D

Flash is working nicely but I noticed that when I try to watch video-flash eq justin.tv or wrzuta.pl (polish music videos etc heh try it) the video looks kinda odd, weird and see some artefacts. Wonder if something can can be done about it or its poor video support of our Viewpad?

Wonder can Polish language be added to next release(and/or where I can get files from and where to put them)?

Thanks a lot for your great work!!

[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] manaskb:
At the outset, let me thank you. Good effort in creating the ROM.

I installed v1.4 over Enhanced Froyo ROM. Did a wipe, create a apps2sd partition. Everything works fines after the install. I liked the boot animation, it is awesome. I am using a OlivePad VT1000.

I find the transparency of the task bar on the top annoying. Especially against a lighter background. The green fonts are not clear and not legible. Attaching a screenshot and hop this info help fixing the issue. On the OlivePad the fonts look a lot worse than the in the screenshot.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] jaxob:
Thanks four al your good work on the firmware greet news that you are still working on it i have the 1.4 instaled and no probleems at al so a big thanks sorry for mij bad englisch

You are right, I have noticed this myself. The opacity on the taskbar image is set to low, i'll change it in the next version so it will be dark, yet still transparent.

Amalgation and googlehome used a different base for their ROMs as compared to CleanViewPad, which is why the Wi-Fi does not work. Amalgation is trying to make up for this in EUViewPad v1.5, but he's busy, so don't expect it tomorrow.

solution for the wifi problem(?)

hi folks,

hope this will help you ;)

my problem:

after flashing from the cleanviewpad rom to euviewpad rom wifi and bt

isn't working.

when activating wifi it says scan for a few seconds and then it's

deactivated again. also system information shows no address for

wifi and bt. same when i try to go back to the original rom.

reason (i think):

viewpad (and maybe other androids too, can't test) seems to save

wlan and bluetooth profiles on some extra memory. when i do factory

reset via cwm and reboot then it still knows the saved wlan and bt

settings (passwords, etc) even without syncing with the google account.

so i asume since cleanviewpad and euviewpad using different bases,

the "older" 2.2 base of the euviewpad has problems reading the wifi and bt profiles of the "newer" 2.2.2 base of the cleanviewpad.

solution (worked for me):

when on cleanviewpad activate wifi and bt.

then DELETE ALL WLAN AND ALL BT PROFILES (on bt unpair) in the wifi and bt settings;)

then flash euviewpad1.4 (i've tested only this yet) and now your wifi should

work if it was the same problem.

for me it worked, hope this works for you guys too.

[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] LayZeeDK:
Thanks, I will try that when I get my device back from repair :)
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Letitride:
On the subject of WiFi, I would just add the following suggestions on top of wiping & deleting (manually via the menu settings) any existing, saved APN info including SSiD and password(s).

I've noticed WiFi reconnecting on its own - without prompts - when I switched & flashed a different custom ROM, after I first wiped (3X) full system, data, dalvik & even SD ext-3, etc.

The other tasks are to check & maybe change the WiFi sleep mode as by default, it will disconnect once the screen go into standby & dark - which can be as fast as 30 seconds - especially when one doesn't have access to or use 2G/3G data for connectivity.

The radio "receiver" inside isn't very strong or solid in picking up "weaker" signals, it seemed to prefer WEP or open wifi - whereas I tend to use higher security settings of WPA2-PSK behind a solid firewall.

Just ideas for experimenting should one notice WiFi bouncing around & having trouble even right next to one's router ....
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] LayZeeDK:
The problem is that it won't even turn on long enough to discover any AP's.

[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] imachine:
Hi. I've been using your rom since yesterday. Its fast but I have some issues.

1. The build prop or so has been altered - i cannot install maps, angry birds or update hacker's keyboard - market says my device is incompatible and doesn't allow for installation. How can I fix this? Worked fine on stock.

2. The theme with the translucent notification bar is unclear to me. How can I change to original theme or gingerbread theme (much preffered)?

3. I want the standard stock android dialer apk. Can i just pull a HTC legend 2.2 rom like cyanogenmod 6.1 and switch the Phone.apk between the two? The legend sports the same CPU we have in our viewpads.

My /system partition seems to be 100% used at 128mb. Any ideas regarding that? Maybe something didn't get properly installed and that's what's causing the problems? It's the newest 1.7 version of your rom. My sdcard is partitioned 512mb for apk and 0mb for swap.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Amalgation:
1. Has to do with dpi settings set at 140 should be 160 for compatibility.

2. Decompile framework-res.apk, make the changes you want compile and replace. Or take an original fro a stock rom

3. Dont know, try it out and let us know if it works.

I assume you meant v1.5 no idea what's wrong with your settings. Ill release a small update this weekend with some minor fixes
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Amalgation:
Seems like you can figure it out yourself ;)

1. Dont hash the line, change it to 160 for best results.

2. You can take the framework-res.apk from the 2.2.2. EU stock rom. You can try others, but ill doubt they will work properly. (make sure you have the EU version with all the languages in it, otherwise I can guarantee a lot of force close issues.

3. Ill do a df tonight when i'm at home.

And a litte something extra you didnt ask for:

4. do a echo 1024 > /sys/devices/virtual/bdi/179:0/read_ahead_kb in adb shell to set the sdcard cache to a proper value (it's set at 2048 now, which is way too high and causes sd card read speeds to drop significantly.

Small fixes like this will be in a new update this weekend
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] imachine:
1. Changing it to 160 or hashing it doesn't change the availability of Google Maps - they're still listed as unavailable for this device ;)
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] jaredj:
I have installed this rom and I quite like it but - after reboot I am loosing ext4 partition and a lot of apps. Checking in terminal reveals that a2sd can't work because script wasn't started during boot up.

First initial start after flashing this boot on the other hand was okay and ext4 was visible.

What can be wrong?

Thanks

Edit: before flashing this rom I wiped system data/factory reset in CW3

Edit2: I have found that card may be damaged (data) so after few flashings n700 started to boot during card checking.

Two questions: what should be the size of ext4 (or 3) - 1GB or more? and is swap partition very required (gives a lot benefits) or not so?
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] iagorpa:
can't use touch screen after installing the rom 1.5

I've successfully installed the rom, but after reboot the screen doesnt work. Any idea??

thx
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Amalgation:
You probably have a viewpad with ITE hardware, which aren't supported with the overclocked kernel i'm using in this rom
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] jonhdoe11112:
Thanks for this rom. Just love it!!

The only thing I don't like is the top notification bar.

Is it possible to make an add-on with the notification bar icons like CleanViewpad7 v1.0?

Thanks in advance!
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Amalgation:
It is possible, but i'm not going to doing that myself. It's very time consuming and I don't have the time, even if I had the intention. I will take suggestions for improvement, but i'm not going to redo all of the changes to fit someone else his style.

If you download apk manager from xda, you can easily decompile the framework-res.apk, make all the changes you want and recompile it. It's not that hard, just takes a LOT of time.

Also, you could just open framework-res.apk with 7zip and replace the images inside. (make sure not to compress them, or there will be problems)
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] jaredj:
Hi

For me changing the lcd density (in any way) didn't do the thing - some apps are still not available for this device. What else can be changed?

FYI: I have changed the build.prop, I have changed lcd density on the fly - nothing works (app for example is a game - Cut the rope, I have bought it for my wife and now I can't install this again).
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Amalgation:
You have to clear out all the market app data and cache + reboot before it would work.

Installing older market app also works, the problems started for me after updating to the new market.

Like I said, ill release a new build with all the small fixes I found so far this weekend. I'm thinking ill just revert the market app to the older version instead of trying to match the dpi settings. Older market is much cleaner and easier to navigate anyway.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] indyend:
i'm use a800 in thailand. And i set up this rom and Everything work great ,but i can't install some app from market and maket said "your device not competible with app". I'm just purshaed it from pevious rom. Please tell me how to fix it. Thank you.

SOrry for my weak english.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] jaredj:
Okay, thanks, I didn't know that bit about clearing market data.

I don't mind new market, app like any else, but if new one limits installation because of dpi - that's a good reason to go back.

It is annoying though that market doesn't display any information why app is not compatible with device!! It's a bit of apple approach ;)

---------- Post added at 12:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:11 PM ----------

It's been described here how to fix it but in short:

you need to change LCD density, to do that you can download app from the market (search for LCD density) and change this setting to 160, reboot device, go to titanium backup, select Market and clear app data. Then start market, you will be asked to accept market rules and voila - you can install apps. Or you can change the setting manually in build.prop and reboot device. Do the rest as above.

[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Letitride:
Newer 3.x Google Market(s) are nice & fancy, they also take up valuable internal storage space on the ROM - running Froyo 2.2.x - it's perfectly fine rolling back to stock Market 2.x that came with the device. On a smaller smartphone screen, it's much easier to scroll around. The trick is to stop or freeze automatic update - easy if you are using the (paid ver.) Titanium Backup Pro (or, to go as far as uninstalling it or renaming.)
