No typo, just ''pr3_128''

and i delete my conf, but it recreates and contains the error txt i linked about java.

finally the original stock has slowly downloaded, off to flash now.

edit no i'm not, the zip wont flash, crashes phone, extracting the .nb0 is a bit useless as cwm does not give an option for it. doh!, hang on lol
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Amalgation:
You need to use the SUT L3 software to flash original firmware. Here is a small guide and the necessary software.

1. Download SUT L3 v1.7.9

2. Download either one of the following roms:

- Download Firmware 316R

- Download Firmware 3420

3. Unzip the files you downloaded

4. Install SUT L3 on windows

5. Start SUT L3 and click next

6. Check in the bottom left corner if you see the message: A phone is connected (if it is not, you need to install the correct drivers. You can do this by running setup.exe from the virtual CD of the viewpad)

7. Select the rom you downloaded and click next.

8. Your viewpad should now reboot into clockwork recovery and after a few seconds switch to download mode and start flashing the new firmware. This will take a few minutes after which the phone will reboot and start to the stock os.

9. Now you can root it with SuperOneclick, install cwrecovery and flash V1.6.

If this doesn't fix the wifi problems, I think the problem might be in the different basebands. There are ways to flash those, so there must be ways to extract those as well, I just haven't had the time to look for them yet.

Hi

Thanks for answer.

My problem although is not about card partitioning. I assume you've wrote about it as an example how frustrating the problem can be. I have had it before with another ROM, which, according to description, supported a2sd, but it didn't and I have puzzled my head with many things why.

My problem is that at some point I can't install any app. And this is not only for TB, this applies also for the market. But in the market I actually can see that something is blocking installing new apps - one app is in the process of either downloading or installing and actually market doesn't do both. So next app in the queue hangs waiting for the first to finish - but it will not happen. Reboot helps but sometimes also with clearing market cash. Which of course clears the history of searches and installed apps.

I am afraid that something may be wrong with the data on my card because every time I flash a rom I restore card content. So presumably I need to have clean card and start installing everything again without copying old content (well, apart from maybe books, photos, mp3s).

Cheers

I also have one question. As you know market sometimes translates description of application to a selected language, polish in my case. Some description looks sooooo weird after such automatic translation that ......... you just want to get rid of this. Is there a way (apart from changing locales for the whole system) to get english description for apps?

Regards

Try going to the android market website using a browser, login to that page, scroll to the bottom and look for: My Market Account :

Try setting the correct language you want to use there. not sure if it would work, but that's the only thing I can think of besides changing locales.

EUViewpad7v1.7 is available, more info in the op.

This will be the last major update for a while. I've spend a lot of time and effort on this to give you all something nice, but there is another project for my streak 5 that I want to spend some time on.

I know that there are some apps that are missing the new localizations, but those are pretty small things, most of the work is done. I will add missing localizations in apps on request. (that means you have to tell me what app needs translating.)

I hope you all enjoy this new release.

Thank you so much!!!!

I just Flash the rom. Works like a charm,

This is really a nice & fast rom, i have tried all the rom available for viewpad7.

This is the best one.

Thanks Once again for your support.

Nice, EUv1.7 ITE is working - details/feedback to follow

Good late night/early morning, Amalgation - just a few words of thanks, very nice work on v1.7 with ITE overall, including Japanese & Korean localization. Been busy w. my newest rooted toy, HTC Incredible 2 (S701D in China) & custom ROM installed - while fine tuning V1.6 ITE and finally got it working with A2SD, freed up about 14MB on system ROM & internal storage size of 179 MB with 59 MB available. About 150 MB's worth of Apps moved to A2SD partition.

Backed up current mSD first before transfering V1.7 ITE onto it, full wipe after a reboot before flashing - 10 minutes later, it's up & running. However, for whatever reasons, SD-ext3 gone again after being wiped by the scripts. Check with A2SDGUI showed it's not available/mounted, same when checking with Terminal. Looks like I will use my smartphone with non-CWM recovery to reformat mSD card again, create SD-ext & upgrade to ext3, then restore files again via CWM without flashing V1.7 again - that's how I got V1.6 ITE with A2SD working. For whatever reasons, script(s) not working while giving impression that it's been installed.

Otherwise, this is a winner .... will post back my feedback to share with all by amending post, stay tuned. WiFi is good, 3G is good - will check on Flash player later on.

I found some new localisations which I think is chinese and taiwanese. Also I forgot to add in the latest version of the browser.apk and I made a new style for the menu buttons.

I've added those changes to a new build EUViewpad7v1.7b.

I've also created an Updatev1.7b.zip which people who have already installed EUViewpad7v1.7 (both normal and ITE versions) can install using CW recovery to prevent having to reinstall everything again.

OP is updated with the new information

Letitride, when I have some free time, I'll look into the problems you're having. Seems to only occur on ITE version, so maybe the init.d is not properly initializing.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] haree:
hi

yup no problem here im using the NON ITE version and i have 150MB storage free and my app are getting installed on my SD i can confirm the same:)
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Letitride:
Thanks, but do it only when there's time later on as Haree said, non-ITE verisons are not reporting problem. With the su update yesterday, I also updated the binary - did the Fixed Permissions too, which seemed to clear up most if not all FC'd. Even with around 60MB free on internal with my Apps, it's a vast improvement over Market verison of App2SD which I've uninstalled.

Reboot with dalvik & cache wipe afterward, A2SDGUI still saving scripts error, "please run A2SD check" - DID that and also "A2SD cachepart". Bing Bing, A2SDGUI & TB now showing 137MB internal free space.

If anyone else is running CWM 3.x - please check to see if you have the option to partition SD-ext (set swap & size) and the option to upgrade to ext3 and ext4, and to repair ....

# # # Update: Part 2 (10/26/11) # # #

Upgraded CWM based on Googlehome's latest suggestion (in General section), from 3.0.2.8 to 5.0.2.6 which does support & format/partition SD-ext3 and SD-ext4 (including size & swap) by starting with a freshly reformatted blank 16GB mSD card. Full wipe 3X dalvik, cache & system before flashing the relocated EU v1.7b ITE ROM, and partition & ext3 was good - initial setup passed the activation wizard, setup WiFi & checked it - then, it was restoring via Titanium Backup and tweaking my Apps. Only drawback to CWM 5.x is that "Go Back" feature in the Recovery sub/menus is missing or not working (for me) so one (newbies) could be stuck easily trying this out.

Upon loading A2SDGUI, it FC'd with error message that "scripts not working/running properly" & and to do "A2SD check" - which I did from Terminal Emulator on the pad. Also, ran "A2SD zipalign" & "A2SD cachepart" - for a device reboot, and now I can get into A2SDGUI & read settings (below):

Total internal space of 171 or 179 MB with 132 or 125 MB free (depending on using TB or A2SD's GUI)

Total SD-ext3 space of 914 or 959 MB with 708 or 819 MB free.

System RAM total of 415 MB with 232 MB free.

All of these making the pad very snappy, fast & responsive with no FC or lockups, etc. and substantially "superior" to stock ROM, especially when stripped of unwanted apps **

** Latest superuser, binary updated/installed, fixed permissions & rebooted with a simple dalvik wipe to assure that everything is as smooth as it can be.

Really appreciate you posting on the information regarding the ext3. I have non ITE but am unsure whether my setting up of ext 3 worked. So will try again when my bro brings his commtiva around next
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Casparovic:
Thnx for this beautiful rom. I only have one problem: after installing this rom I can't install certain apps like Facebook. All of a sudden the Market says that apps aren't compatible with my device.

Anyone has a solution?

Thnx in advance
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Letitride:
Are you coming from another ROM or stock ROM? Do a CWM & Titanium Backup first, then boot into Recovery, do a Dalvik wipe and also run Fix Permissions (also, delete the Android_secure folder as needed) and then restart the device. These should clear most settings so allow time for it to boot and rebuild the Apps, you should not run into Market issues.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Casparovic:
Thnx for your reply. Will try this tomorrow and get back to you on that.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Casparovic:
@Letritide: I tried your method, did everything except from deleting the android_secure folder.. I simply can't find it. Can you tell me where it is? The pad?
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Amalgation:
The .android_secure folder can be found in the root of your sdcard
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Letitride:
Also, log into your google's market account on the desktop pc and check your device info/settings, as you might need to reset or clear it. It's been known to improperly identify your device as something else.

Hi Amalgation,

I want to flash your rom but i don't kwon if i have a ITE version or not ?

I have a 1.06 dated to 2011-01-23

In the gallery I can make zoom with two fingers, but with piano i can't play more 2 keys at the same time.

What's the problem if i try the no ITE with my device?

Thank you.

[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Amalgation:
If you flash the non ITE version on an ITE viewpad, your touchscreen won't work anymore. so you will have to reboot into clockwork recovery to flash another rom.

If you don't know which version of the viewpad you have, my advice is to download both versions and put them on your sdcard. flash the non-ite one first, if your touchscreen doesn't work, reboot and flash the ITE version.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] haree:
hi

the 1.06 is a tricky version i have it and mine is non ITE. and some claim it also to be a ITE version so the only was is to do as Amalgation has mentioned:)

Problem with data on sdcard

Hello,

i just tried to install the version 1.7b non-ITE because i have HW103.

I do anything step-by-step from the installation howto at the beginning of the post, but not able to move the /data partition to the sd-card.

I wiped all possible partitions with CWM 5.x, described above.

Then i partion the sd-card within CWM, 1gb, 0MB swap.

CWM do something and says everything is fine.

When i insert the sd-card in my laptop with linux, a "fdisk -l" shows only a win98 partition. There is no linux-partion on the sd-card.

When i manualy create a partition an run the update.zip, the tool regognized the partion an extract data to this, but the pad hangs more than 1/4h in the DrWho bootscreen. After some resets its boots until first configuration dialog.

I think it hangs while creating symlinks or something else.

Under Apps none apps like youtube, flash and so on are installed.

Running a2sd check and similar checks points to: app2sd never runned on boot.

I tried CWM 2.x and 5.x, no luck.

I have no idea what i can do next, for get app on sd working

Regards,

Oliver

Will try without sd-card linux partion while install the ROM.

I install normal and later try to activate the a2sd.

---------- Post added 30th October 2011 at 12:22 AM ---------- Previous post was 29th October 2011 at 11:48 PM ----------

i think i solved my problem

i format the sdcard with only one vfat (fat32) partition.

then put the ROM on it, format/wipe/clear all dalvik, data and so an partions on device.

after that i run the update.zip, the device boots up realy fast.

after set up my account and so on i remove the sd-card, add a ext3 1GB partion on it and put it back, with reload the pad.

then activate darktremors a2sd with "a2sd zipalign" followed by a reboot.

a "a2sd check" shows now that all flags are set correctly
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Letitride:
The linux partition is probably the initial obstacle and without it, CWM 5.x install would be simple and you have the "Go Back" button to back out or serve as Escape key (I have ITE screen so it's a bit more difficult.)

Under the Advanced menu in Recovery, you can format the 1 GB ext3 partition and the ROM installation doesn't erase/reformt it, and you can see the screen messages for the final steps, i.e. Symlink created, moving boot.img to SD, etc. just before it finish & ready to reboot.

Once it's activated past the Android screen, I skip the account setup, sync. up with WiFi and basic settings, then power down or reboot (using Quick Boot - Apps reinstalled) and transfer backup & other files like ring tones & wallpapers, etc. along with CWM & TB folders back onto the SD card - to resume/finish off the customization. But, I check during this time that A2SD is loaded/available, download Titanium Backup, Astro or ES File Explorer, and Terminal Emulator + A2SDGUI (all from Market.)

A2SDGUI will show various storage space/capcity & free space and Rom/system settings (cache & swap) - it's just FYI in case you haven't check it out. Isn't it amazing how much free memory, storage & space are being released or free up by A2SD. Kudo to DT's solutions & Amalgation for cooking this one up with several revisions, and got mine fixed up with the option to run Asian languages. :D

Hey!!

Nice rom i'm so happy , not any big problem . I'm just sad because the french language is strange. Only a few words are translated... But it doesn't bother me. It looks like the "morelocale2.apk" like i find on market.

Nice work!!!!!
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Amalgation:
Thank you for letting me know, I'll look into it for the next version.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Letitride:
Not to worry much, it usually can be fixed - I've run into this myself flashing another custom ROM. Did you have working WiFi before flashing this ROM? If so, did you reset or erase it? Can you connect to a different hotspot or router?

First, try erasing all your WiFi setting first, if possible, then input them & see if it will connect. Turn it OFF and ON a few times, it's been known to reset & trick it into working again on other ROMS, strange - maybe, but true. (Also, use the Airplane mode - turn OFF & ON a few times and wait a little in between)

Next, if you don't have another router to check things out - change your router's SSID (at least temporary) so that your existing settings including any security options will be invalid - try it ....

Check your Advanced Settings under WiFi, is the MAC address coming up as it should. Cycle or change your router's channel, security settings (WEP/WPA/WPA2) to include "open" or unsecured mode so that it's easier for the Vpad7 to detect & pickup the signal being broadcasted nearby (the radio receiver isn't very strong to begin with) - DHCP is on ? If you are tech savvy, can you connect with a static ip configuration? (Once you get it working, adjust them accordingl ....)

If none of these are good or been done already, after doing a CWM Backup first, reboot back into Settings > Privacy > Personal data and do a Factory data reset - it will erase all data data on the phone (make sure you saved your "vital" data, SMS/MMS settings, etc.) Then, QuickBoot into Recovery, wipe at least dalvik & cache - 3 times each would be my recommendation - and try again after restarting the device, give it time to fully boot up & sync. up all the apps & widgets.

If all of the above failed to solve it, download the factory update.zip & SULT3 flashing utility, and flash it to restore to stock condition as shipped, and, start all over. (Hopefully, you can download the proper update.zip file for your locale or region/zones ....)

Have faith & good luck, and let us know of your outcomes - and any other error msg. or codes while doing all these step-by-step self-diagnostic resolution.

Cheers !

P.S. You are using the Vpad7 with this Rom in Euro zone with wireless G mode router with the correct channel/bands, I"m assuming those to be given, just to be sure.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] lepcheur:
Thanks for your amazing rom. It works very well and it's very fast.

[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Letitride:
Amalgation - good news, I got the A2SD issues resolved/figured out on the latest v1.7b ITE version, it's booting up & loading ext3 properly with scripts, absolutely no FC'd or freeze so far. (Had spare time this weekend to research & read more, gone over DT's A2SD links/info & posts, experimented different approaches step-by-step ----> this ROM is even more responsive than before .... :D )

These are my suggested steps to install V1.7b ITE verison (only) using latest CWM Recovery 5.x.x.x ("Go Back" do not work, use 'reset" pin button if necessary) ** - in brief:

Backup everything on mSD card first, along with CWM Backup & Titanium Backup apps first to PC or another USB drive first. Power off Vpad7, boot into Recovery, set-up partition as 1024MB & 0MB size for swap - everything on the card will be erased next, be WARNED. Reboot into Recovery & check under Advanced menu that ext3 and FAT32 folder are setup, power off (or turn on USB & connect via cable) - move the EUv1.7b ITE.zip file and DT's app2sd 2.7.5.3. zip file back to the newly reformatted mSD card.

Flash the ROM file or EUv1.7b ITE first, then, flash also the app2SD file, then reboot for the initial setup & Android activation. (Or, one can flash app2SD file first, then flash the EUv1.7b ITE zip file next before rebooting, which I didn't try as it's time consuming to all of these ....)

Once the Vpad7 is up & running, setup Google account & Market, download Titanium Backup, A2SDGUI, Terminal Emulator and Astro File Manager or ES File Explorer or equivalent, and check available storage space, memory & rom space, etc.

If one gets an error message about script opening A2SDGUI, then it isn't loading or running properly - running "A2SD check" will get it going until power down/reboot. If A2SDGUI open & does not loop/FC, then everything is good to go. (And, it's safe to flash A2SD 2.7.5.3 zip file after installing this ROM, nothing erased or lost, and it did fix the script loading error(s) or problem(s) - reboot when done & it's good to run each and every time afterward.)

Restore the rest of saved/moved contents previously stored on the mSD card, after making a CWM Backup of this newly setup ROM first. Reboot normally and finish up one's optimization/restoration of Apps - time to relax, enjoy & sip a nice cup of tea or coffee/whatever - and, enjoy the fruit of success ! (see screenshot on A2SD as run on my Vpad7 using your ROM build, Fancy Widgets loaded + VTL.Launcher + WidgetSoids for easyquick settings)

Lastly (especially for newcomers to Vpad7 custom roms) - please boot into Recovery, do a CWM Backup first to save your configurations as the new baseline, before doing any mods/changes (store extra copy on PC/usb drive) so that you can easily go back, just in case further ahead, you did one of those "oops." Experienced users knew this already & can skip it, LOL.

Please review & check this approach, and feel free to incorporate key points for your installation notes to newbies, thanks for making the ITE verison for us.
