Lifesaver! Well, tabletsaver but whatever. Thanks, man!

To clarify, in the ICS folder, what is each build? I'm assuming first one is a rooted version, second is stock, but what's the third?

Edit: Nevermind. First is 4.0.3 rooted, second is 4.0, and third is the root package for the second, I believe.

Well bro, the dload is in the zip pakage.

The way i did it to copy and paste the dload at the sd card.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Xanderful:
Cool because I really didnt know. :p

Anyways, I found a version of the wifi calling app from t-mobile. would anyone know how to get it to work with the ics build?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1038784

This is the link I found to add the app, I want to try it, but I really dont know where to begin...I guess at the beginning...

a link to where I found the app I installed.

The app runs on the phone it just force closes everytime, is there a way to see why it is force closing?

I have a fully rooted MediaPad and still cannot make/receive phone calls, but I can send/receive text messages. Although, I can surf the web.

How are you doing that?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Jake.13:
According to the tmobile sales rep who sold me my SpringBoard, text messaging comes free with the plan. If I remember correctly, he said to use my actual phone number assigned to the tab, and to use Google Talk as the texting interface.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] frippe15:
Have someone tried hooking up an external drive to the mediapad using usb?

What filesystem is supported, only fat32 or will ext2/ext3 work aswell?

The sd-card is formatted in fat32, right?

I connected my mediatab to my PC with Ubuntu Linux, and after some fiddling I got it working, but it seems like I only can access the internal memory of the tab, not the sd-card. (I have a 16 GB sd card in it).

Amazing headphone/earbud perfomance

Anyone know what audio hardware is used in this device? I'm used to my T-mobile GSII and it's yamaha chip, but when I tried out my IEM's with the Springboard, I was blown away by the volume and sound quality. I'd love to know what chip is used for future reference.

Hi guys,

from zombolo of androidiani...

last beta rom for mediapad 3g, multilanguage

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=MO1PC856

touch improved, usb charging, apptosd, dlna and other fix

if you want root it, just copy the folder "sanixupdate" into the mediapad memory (not sd) and reboot ;)
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] MugenMad:
will try lata thanks for the info
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Jake.13:
Is anyone familiar with the upgrade propagation process? Please explain. Does Huawei get a version from Google, then merge their device drivers and other modifications, and pass that on to the carriers to modify further? Or maybe the carriers provide specs to Huawei, who implements software modifications on behalf of the carriers?

Just trying to understand how much writing and testing is between us and an update ROM which we can work with..
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] monkeydrufy:
I don't think that carrier ask or change something

I think that google send the firmware and huawei add his personalization
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Klaus.at:
Has anyone tried this rom yet?

Judging from the google-translated androidiani thread, the touchscreen response seems to have improved, which is my biggest argument against keeping my Mediapad. Don't think Amazon would be happy if I flash some chinese beta rom and then send it back.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] zombolo:
Toucscreen response had a HUGE improvement in my opinion.

Just try it. It's ready for rooting too.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] sclavux:

Anyone else try VLC on ICS yet? I had it running amazingly on Honeycomb but in ICS no video displays. Sound only. If I use the stock video player to play .avi it lags horrendously. Any suggestions gents?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Xanderful:
Ok, so if they come out with wifi calling for the Springboard ICS version, then techinically it should be able to be ported over to the Mediapad. And buy internals. what would need to match?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] daisun:
I believe when you unzip the file on your computer you will get a dload folder. Copy this dload folder to the root of your sdcard. Put the card in the tablet, reboot and it'll install the update. When done remember to delete the dload folder from the card or it'll update everytime it boots.

[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] chipis:
I just flashed the ics rom no issues so far.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] cmstlist:
Speaking from my experience on Galaxy Nexus, VLC is not properly rendering .mkv files on my hardware - however MX Video Player from the Market works very smoothly. The key on my device to getting smooth stable mkv playback was to go into Settings/Decoder, uncheck S/W Decoder, but check S/W Audio. Upon playing the video try to select H/W Decoder if the video is jerky. AVI files work on pretty much every setting.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] h25p:
Act 1 Video Player works very well!
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] hiko36:
I didn't use the one from the official VLC port thread. I used the NEON apk from Phandroid.

http://phandroid.com/2011/09/23/vlc-open-source-media-player-for-android-download/

Also, .avi is just a glorified container so there could be an incompatibility with the settings used when the video was encoded.

[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Klacik:
yes i can confirm that MX Player on my MediaPad with ICS works very well.. in case of any problems, just try to change some settings of audio/video decoding.. i also tryed BS Player and mPlayer, but they had some issues so i think the best option (for now) is the MX Player..

---------- Post added at 09:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:37 AM ----------

yep, i'm running it too.. it has some minor issues but that's nothing unexpected.. it's an early beta (or alpha? :) )... hope the official beta/final build will come out soon!

no.. you need to have it unzipped on your micro sd card and it must be in folder with the name "dload".. after the succesfull update and the first reboot, pull out the micro sd card..
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] jmacourek:
dload folder --> external sd

sanixupdate folder --> internal memory

Instructions are in this thread :-)

So the search function is back now, but I still haven't been able to find the answer to basically any of my questions...to anybody putting ICS on a (US) T-Mobile Springboard, are you able to make/receive phone calls and use data regularly at the same time? Are there any issues using Mediapad stuff on the Springboard?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] wings400:
have you included Gapps? Could you make one with root and Gapps if not? :)
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] zelduy:
Yeah how to install gapps tutorial please...

Btw.. Is market included in gapps?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] daisun:
The ICS ROM released today doesn't have gapps, and even after installing them from here its not complete. To install the gapps you need to have root which can be achieved by following zombolo's post which I will reproduce below

Now unzip the gapps file, and copy the 'app' folder found inside 'system', and paste this 'app' folder into the sd card or internal storage of the Mediapad.

Here's the gapps provided by zombolo again:

http://goo-inside.me/gapps/gapps-ics-20120304-signed.zip

Now if you followed zombolo's instructions you should have root. Use Root Explorer, or any Android file browser that can access the system folder, copy the contents of the 'app' folder and paste it into 'system/app/' found on the internal storage of the Mediapad.

Restart the tablet. You should now have all the google apps, including market and gmail etc.

However, what I've found is that the tablet isn't recognised correctly as an ICS device. Some apps don't show up in the market, such as Google Maps and also Chrome Beta says it's not an ICS device.

I hope brainmaster (or anyone else) will be able to make a rom or some instructions on how to get a fully functional version with gapps soon!
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] zelduy:
whoaah thanks daisun...

yeah.. there's no maps.. :(

btw.. anyone got a problem with galery could't open? it said there's no external drive?

[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] sclavux:
i make this, but i have no android market :/ anybody with this problem? any solutions?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] daisun:
You've probably tried this but, have you restarted the tablet? When you go into the app tray you should see 'shop' in the top right corner.

Also, note that Android Market got updated today and got renamed to Play Store.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Dricos:

vending.apk

or

Android market not work?

[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] zelduy:
Anyone have a problem with galery?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] sclavux:
you must have rooted device & and you must install Gapps (post from daisun)

and if this not help you, try manualy run installation from gaaps /system/app/Vending.app & restart tablet, this step is working on my mediapad
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] cmstlist:

How does this "beta" perform in regards of:

[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Raichean:
I am really hoping for a solid ICS image from the vendor directly? I am reading off of the TMO forums that there are no plans for ICS which really sucks. I would be happy to work out a generic vendor ICS build plus it would drop the TMO bloatware anyway.

I am reading off of this thread folks are already running it? Running a beta or full retail build? I also see there is a firmware download from Huawei from back in January.. what happens if we run this against the TMO version?

Really not excited to blow my tablet up, but would LOVE to see some of the anecdotal benefits I read here, like faster response, better touch screen sensitivity etc etc.

So.. with that said, I am a complete NOOOOOB for Droids and need hand holding! What is GAPP? What are the missing bits? I need handholding on this, assuming that that a retail huawei release of ICS isn't just plug n play.

---------- Post added at 05:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:40 PM ----------

I am assuming I should probably run the update if possible? Ver on my springboard says

Build - S7-303uV100R001C201B027

The latest file coming down off of Huawei directly (and slowly) says

File name - S7-301u C232B016..

so this appears it MIGHT be a later build (232b16) but is the 301/303 for device? Any suggestions or just not worry and hold off for a possible ICS build here soon?
