From what I have read, you need to root it to install/uninstall the roms that already came with this. Also you would have to take a look at installing the market. I saw a video on emulating a nes game that compared between a preinstalled emulator and another free one found and market. The preinstalled had some visual artifacts and hang. While the other, ran great.

More are having this problem. Also the screen registers only one touch being resisitive. Hope a firmware upgrade or a handy dev comes with a fix for this.

The rom itself is very badly done. It has libs and modules for gps and bluetooth where the hardware isn't present. So already it has a bad start. Also it has froyo and not gingerbread.

Rooting should change anything on your device. Look under yinlips on youtube. There are comparison videos between different emulation types and how to root and install android market. Unleash the beast :)

Hope a board starts for this device. With the help of xda dev this device would rock our world. Think of lightweight cm roms that could run all the games fast. :)

It has an A9 Processor (unlike the a8 found on yinlips) but the same Mali 400 gpu found on gs2.

The screen is bigger (7") than the 5" of the yinlips so it takes away from the portability of this device, which in my opinion is the whole point of this device.

no shoulder buttons

it is white

Also Yinlips has a greater history in handheld models released (look on its site), so I would be quite sure the build quality is better on the yinlips.

[Android General] butch87402:
OK lemme get this straight you guys both bought the Yinlips not the s7100 correct? I ordered mine last week black because the white is going to turn into a ecrew color which is like a brown white and that's not sexy and the red and blue can't be found... but hopefully a forum will be started I mean we got like how many posts already Haha also just for confirmation the s7100 isn't out on the market right?
[Android General] walliester:
i wan one so badly but i don't know it look awesome,its to good to be true ,all the high tech ARM Cortex A9 CPU, Mail 400 CPU,? i just hope some one does really get it and show pictures cause is super cheap 150 bucks ,but its 2.2,do i really care no,the funny thing is that its all over the net and it looks like they all copy and paste from every article i read i see the same videoand the specs?,don't know i might be wrong, cause lil gadget like this as soon there's a lawsuit against it will be discontinue for sure,so if any one has it or waiting for it, can you please post some pictures or a video on youtube...thanks

Android Game Console

The Android Game Console G18 can support all android games, we don't need to care about whether it's English version, you can use the English software as usually on it. Now this item is sold at 149.99 with free shipping on Fyygame.com

[Android General] butch87402:
So how long is it gonna take? Anything info on the warranty? Can I use a sd card? Can I install apps from the sd? Can I use the regular market?
[Android General] nemuro:
Depending on each country. The worst that could happen is about 2 to 3 weeks. This ain't true for holidays. You could spot a seller that has dhl option to get it within a week time.

Warranty is dependant on the place you buy it from. So good luck :)

It can use an sdcard up to 32gb.

It comes with a 2gb or 4gb (can't recall if it's 2gb or 4gb).

You can install apk's from sdcard, root it and install android market.
[Android General] Amon_Re:
Dunno how long before the JXD arrives. As for warranty, that is pretty much non existent I'd guess, besides, shipping the device back & forth would bring you near the unit price anyway.

The Yinlips accepts micro sd cards, same for the JXD (according to the specs). You'll need to root the Yinlips for access to the regular market. Dunno yet for the JXD.
[Android General] Entropy512:
A warning:

Note that that is likely source for Amlogic's reference platform for their chip - chances are not high that the source will come anywhere close to full function on the Yinlips device.

A moderator was kind enough to add the Yinlips YDP-G18 to the poll where it is decided what devices get their own subforums.

Vote here for the Yinlips YDP-G18 (look in the lower part of the poll options): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1416406

If a subforum will be added, I am certain this device could mean a better android experience on this device.

Guys m waiting for PS Vita release, should I continue waiting or buy this?

Confused !!

sent via awesome aRc (rooted 2.3.4)
[Android General] phalandriax:
First of all, happy new year :D

And thank you all for the great advices.

I am using the Yinlip device every day. Even bought a new headset for it. The games on the device are awesome.

Furthermore I have noticed some things:

About the Multi-press:

When using the SNES/GB/GBC/GBA it is not possible (for the standard Emulators) to use Multi-Press.

When using the Nin64 emulator, you are able to multi-press! So it does work! This evening I am going to try to root the device and hopefully install/update to newer emulators to give it a new try.

Once I have rooted the device and have my opinion settled, I'll try to write up a review on my webpage.

But for now, playing n64 on 1080p on my smarttv....AWESOME!!!!!
[Android General] 10basetom:
If multi-press works in some emulators but not others, then it's likely a software issue. Have you tried remapping the keys in the emulator software? Have you tried updating the emulators to the newest versions?
[Android General] blokenfeffer:
Just received my JXD S7100 this morning and I'm playing around with it now, fairly nice device for the price.

Update:

- Power and MENU buttons to enter System recovery.

- Device rooted temp/perm with z4root.

- Market installed fine.
[Android General] Amon_Re:
Does it charge over USB?
[Android General] blokenfeffer:
Not charging over USB, tried with a dual power cable too. May try to mod a charging cable to sort that out though as the charger output is 5v.
[Android General] butch87402:
I'm jealous hopefully I get mine this week or next

So is it as amazing as the video suggested?
[Android General] blokenfeffer:
I have to admit, I've mostly been fiddling with it rather than really using using it and now that I've got it rooted I need to update the emulators. So far, with the stock emulators it's pretty good for most things. The D-pad could be better, it suffers from the usual problems trying to pull off moves in games like SF2 and shoulder buttons would be a big help. Can live without that for most things though.

Being a Chinese device, it comes preloaded with some roms and games and there is a DVD in the box with a few more. There's also plenty of software on there that you're just not going to want. The android rom itself isn't brilliant and it's fairly buggy, here's hoping someone can do some work to port another rom over to it and tidy it up. In the meantime, I can live with the odd reset here and there.

One really annoying bug is the power button seems to lock up and become unresponsive, forcing you to do a reset on the device with a pin. Still, it's not a deal breaker for the money.

Other things:

There's no stock Android keyboard, instead it comes with Baidu - shouldn't be a problem replacing this either.

It has it's own Market, with some dodgy downloads on there, but putting the official Market on there isn't a big deal. FYI, it's recognised in the Market as "Amlogic JXD-S7100".

The viewing angle on the screen isn't amazing, but it's acceptable as is the screen itself. I've got 1 or 2 stuck/hot pixels which I'll try to get rid of, but again, nothing I can't deal with for the price.

Seems to handle 1080p content really well from local flash, struggled a bit streaming the same file from the NAS. This will be a useful device for the odd movie, especially with the mini HDMI output.

I did run a quadrant benchmark on it and it gave similar results to my Nexus S, I'll post a few screenshots once I've got past my post limit.

I think once I've done a fair bit of cleaning up of junk software and got my head around some of the issues with the buggy rom, I'll be really happy with the device. Not to say I'm not happy with it, I just need to be rid of the extra junk.

Again though if anyone with rom knowledge gets one of these, PLEASE tidy up this sloppy build... please!

Hey question where did you buy your jdx? For how much? I bought mine off isharegifts.com it was 150 but then bumped it up to 175 saying that I bought the resistive one, even though the website said capacitive and asked to give the additional 25 up complete the transfer transfer
[Android General] blokenfeffer:
Roughly the same price, from Chinagrabber.
[Android General] butch87402:
I wanted to go to chinagrabber but the site had bad reviews so I went with isharegifts.com Hmmm for $167 I believe right?
[Android General] blokenfeffer:
Total from Chinagrabber was $176.99.

Ordered it on the 27th, they shipped it on the 1st and I received it with their standard free delivery on the 4th. Can't say I can complain!

I have received the JXD S7100 today but it not working ! I switch it on, and it starts to boot up and shows the Android green robot, then it gets to a light blue screen with some Chinese writing and just stick there, the screen goes black a few time but it returns to the light blue screen. I think its looking for a WIFI connection or something but my WIFI is secure so you need to enter a password.

I have tried resetting the device but it still get stuck on the same blue screen, this is very disappointing.:mad:
[Android General] nemuro:
Did you put the sd card in it? try it with and without. Try putting the card into an sd card reader and partition it to fat32.

Look into the manual, I know it's chinese but it should show some pictures of what you do when you first receive the device.

Try to enter the hboot recovery and do a factory reset. On the yinlips you do it by switching off the device and holding down the following buttons until you enter recovery: home + down arrow + power button

Try combinations of buttons. I am almost certain the combination to enter recovery has to include the power button.
[Android General] blokenfeffer:
I saw your post on the dingooscene blog and just noticed that you've already posted here. I'll repeat my post for you first incase you don't see it:

The boot screens you should see in order are:

JXD logo

Android robot, with android logo

Arm Cortex A9 logo

JXD Chinese text screen and animated logo that looks like wifi.

The last logo screen isn't actually searching for wifi, it's just an animated boot screen - wifi is disabled on the device from first boot.

How long have you left the final screen for?

Firstly, no MicroSD card is required to be in the device at any point, it's fully optional, even for system updates (unless you can't boot the device to activate USB transfers). Just thought I'd clear that up first. If you have no card inserted then this is fine, if you do have a card inserted, try to boot the device wthout it.

There are a few things you can try if you've left it on that screen for an extended period of time and it's still not booted.

First thing is to power the device off fully, then hold the menu button down (far right button at the bottom) and whilst still holding it, power the device on. This will boot you into recovery mode. The screen will say "Upgrading.. please wait".

At this point, you can then perform a factory reset. Scroll down to "wipe data/factory reset" using the dpad and press the back button (far left button at the bottom). Scroll down to "yes" and confirm the factory reset using the back button again.

Once the reset has been completed, select the reboot option and press the back button.

All data should return to stock settings at this point and hopefully the device should boot.

If this doesn't help you, there's also the option of performing a system update.

Currently, the following update is available for the S7100:

S7100 1227

If you have a Micro SD card, you should place all files on the root of the card. Boot into recovery as above and select "apply sdcard:update.zip" and reboot the device once the update has been flased.

You should always try the factory reset option first though.

The JXD S7100 has a strange usb cord, anyone get this "female usb cord"? Anyone try plugging in a keyboard to see if it works?
[Android General] blokenfeffer:
This is for USB On The Go support.

I have tested and can confirm that this supports external devices such as:

USB HDD's and memory sticks.

Mice.

Keyboards.

Unfortunately it didn't like my USB to PlayStation 2 controller adapter, causing the S7100 to hang or refuse to boot if it was plugged in. That was just wishful thinking though :D
[Android General] yuprules:
Wait, doesn't that mean we can play TWO players now on the JXD S7100? Map the 2nd player to the keyboard on the emulator settings!
[Android General] blokenfeffer:
Yep, quite probably. Also, it should support HID USB controllers, I just havn't got one to verify.
[Android General] ardkor2thebone:
You're the man blokenfeffer

You're the man blokenfeffer :D

The device just keep on staying on the light blue screen with the fake wifi seeking thing. It stayed on that screen for like 30mins, even repeated reset attempts made no difference.

Then luckily I discovered your thread, I did the following to get the unit working

"Press and hold the Menu button, keep the Menu button pressed and now press the Power on button. The "upgrading please wait" message will be displayed.

Scroll down to "wipe data/factory reset" using the dpad and press the back button (far left button at the bottom). Scroll down to "yes" and confirm the factory reset using the back button again."

The S7100 is up and running, my son loves it. All the emulators work fine.

Heres hoping for a ICS ROM for it soon..:D

Does anyone any details as to what the latest update S7100 1227 does?

Originally I ordered the S7100 from isharegift, this was before I know there were 2 different models, capacitive and resistive.When I asked isharegift which one they were going to ship me, they said resistive and wanted extra cash for the capacitive model I cancelled my order with them and went with r4shop instead as they said they were UK based and already had the unit is stock. However Im not sure this was the case, as the postal tracker says the parcel was shipped from Hong Kong...and it had to be completely factory reset to get it working..not sure the average customer would have been able to figure it out. Imagine giving this to a child as a present and then having to fiddle with the damn device to get it working.

Anyway now that its up and running , its actually quite a good little device that ticks all the boxes, its android and has physical game controls, (a 2nd analog stick and shoulder buttons is sorely missed) and is reasonably cheap . I played around with the dingoo (installed dingux) before but its was so poorly built that I just bin them. I even ordered a pandora handheld game console but cancelled the order after the loooong delays. It has more features than the 3DS, which we got bored with in few days.

At the moment I got my eyes on the new 8" glasses free 3d tablet, 8" is perfect for kids, its big enough to comfortably read books and surf the web yet portable enough to throw into the back of the rucksack when going on hoildays.

The tablet is already out, just waiting for the game controller attachment.

For those worried about build quality

:D Here you go
[Android General] blokenfeffer:
I'm glad you got the device up and running! :D

The problem that you had shouldn't have happened. It's possible that they applied a system update at the factory and it didn't quite take. I had no issues with mine out of the box. I agree that you shouldn't have needed to do it, but it certainly doesn't happen with all of the units that people have received. I guess you just had one of those weird problems!

There are a few more system updates for the S7100, that were posted yesterday. The big problem is, that they don't come with changenotes, I can't find them online either.

Apparently, it doesn't seem to matter if you have the resistive or capacitive model when using these updates, but as there were two, I'm not so sure.
[Android General] yuprules:
They never seem to put the updates on the English page. It's on the Chinese page. It translates to "Firmware upgrade software download S7100 Bluetooth resistance" Huh...this thing doesn't have bluetooth, does it?

You might also want to be careful, I just translated the update from the January 7th 2012 update it says "S7100 *capacitive* touch panel firmware".

Did you try plugging in a keyboard to see if if player two can be on a keyboard with this awesome JXD S7100? :) Oh...is there HDMI lag (stuff on hdtv is so behind you can't game with it)? That's the only thing that is scaring me from buying this...thanks!
[Android General] butch87402:
Bad news guys I don't have my jdx I just got an email saying that it's out of stock even though I got the shipment confirmation email now they're saying that I'll get it on February....

Oh well I'm keeping up with all the posts glad to be getting this device wanna play street fighter 2 turbo lol
[Android General] Necromas:
Just bought a JXD 7100 capacitive model, been thinking about getting a tablet for a long time, and since my dingoo just broke, I took that as a sign to get this. I feel like some kind of bold early adopter even though this is going to be my first android device.

Good to hear it works with USB drives/mice/keyboards. Hoping someone will be able to find a controller that works though, how can you tell if one is HID class? It doesn't seem like something anyone advertises.

Would USB hubs work though? I'm pretty sure I heard gingerbread 2.2/2.3 supports them.

Oh, and one last thing, anyone have good ideas for cases to get for it? The size is little unique because the controls make it a little longer than a normal 7" tablet.
[Android General] nemuro:
Thread hi-jackers everywhere :D
[Android General] blokenfeffer:
Admin over at apad forums stated that there was no firmware difference between the devices, but yeah I agree, best to be careful.

Just tried some gaming via HDMI and there wasn't much in the way of lag on snesoid at least, but it may well vary from game to game and emulator to emulator. I'm sure there's a bit of lag, but nothing I could notice with what I was playing.

Multiplayer wise, I'm sure the keyboard will work in gensoid at least, but it'll be emulator specifc.

Although the device might not support HID class controllers out of the box, there are some drivers such as gamepadIME that may work - but you're right about the controllers not being advertised. It's going to be hit and miss with controllers even if you can get them to work and the cheaper the controller, the more likely it is to be supported. I've just borrowed a Saitek controller to test it out, just not got around to it yet.

The thread seemed to have derailed into discussions about mutiple chinese android gaming devices, as there really isn't that much information about them doing the rounds, especially on XDA. As people were already posting about them here, it seemed like the best place to put down any info people may find useful.

Also, a lot of the information regarding the Yinlips and the S7100 will apply to each other as they are fairly closely related hardware wise. Rooting is the same, market application is the same and stock replacement of emulators is almost identical.

If you feel that strongly about it, maybe we should post somewhere else?
[Android General] nemuro:
The smiley with the big grin should give you an idea about how serious I am. It's okay.

I rooted my ydpg18, turned down the brightness and had some quality time. It runs the graphic intensive 3d games fine but it has lags in the android UI .

I could go as far as saying it runs two times worst in the Android UI than my hd2.

Clearly ydpg18 needs optimization.
[Android General] blokenfeffer:
Just a quick note for S7100 users with Capacitive screen models, do not update your firmware with either of these two firmwares as they are for the resistive screen model only:

resistive screen only update

another resitive screen update only

If you do happen to flash with the above updates you will lose touch panel response. You can recover this flashing back to the latest capacitive screen update:

Capactivie screen firmware 1227

My S7100 arrived today. How do I find out what the current firmware version is?
[Android General] blokenfeffer:
I've not been able to tell to be honest. When the next update is released, I'll take some system info screenshots and check them after the update.

The latest firmware version for the capacitive device is allegedly 1227, but this doesn't corelate with any versions listed via system info software/about device.
