thanks again!

Hey dude been trying to pm u.!!!!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] chanaz:
Flashed successfully on a 1211 device. I totally forgot to change the wpa_supplicant before flashing so now I'm stuck without my ad-hoc networking.

Can you add in a better wpa_supplicant in your next revision?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] fireproof34:
Yes PLEASE PLEASE add this so i can use this with my phone 3g connection. (Im not smart enough to get this done my self!)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] chanaz:
All my attempts so far have ended in bootloops. Anyone else wanna give it a try?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] fireproof34:
Again thanks for all the hard work. I have a few requests. first since we cant change the Adhoc ( using wifi from another android device) on the fly with out RW access can you please add the ability to connect to adhoc wifi in the next build? Also i love google currents app but we cant use is on our device because we don't have map's installed. can that be added as well?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] richpit:
Thanks also to Dochoppy!

I just bought this tablet today for $130 at Big Lots. I've been looking at it for over 2 weeks before deciding to get it.

Right out of the box, it's pretty amazing for the price. As soon as I got home I loaded this ROM...absolutely PAINLESSLY, by the way...and now the tablet is totally rockin' for a $130 tablet!

I definitely see myself carrying this around way more then I've ever carried my iPad! It doesn't seem so at first, but dang the iPad is pretty large for everyday carrying!

Thanks so much for doing this work and making this Next7 an awesome tool.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jtrosky:
Well said - couldn't agree more (I too bought one at Big Lots for $129).
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Dochoppy:
Replied in PM Ogin...Sorry for the delay!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Dochoppy:
I am able to connect to wireless tether on my HTC evo shift, I am trying to remember if I had to do anything special to achieve it or not.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] fireproof34:
I belive the evo uses full hotspot where as most other android phones use adhoc only.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] d3adbroke:
i dont have a sd card right now for my nextbook is there anyway to flash this without a sdcard? thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] lothrids:
Yes. The tab has an internal memory card. Just put the update in the root of the internal flash and it should prompt you to update.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] lothrids:
I can connect it to my Samsung R915 indulge. I use the beta version of the wifi tether app. The version number is 3.1-beta10.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] fireproof34:
I believe that the indulge is a WiFi hot slot enabled phone being it is a 4g phone.allot of the older 3g phone only send out an adhoc WiFi signal that our tabs can not even see unless we change the file I mentioned above . I could figure it out my self I would just unpack the image change the file and reachk and flash it back to the tab. Bit of course I'm a chucked and don't want top screw this thing up. Lol
[Miscellaneous Android Development] swlaraut:
teather-stock rom

Just got NB7 and love it. I have 2 questions:

1. Is there a stock rom to restore if needed?

2. Has anyone tried using "Wifi adHoc enabler v1.6" to adhoc tether with this rom. It should work with super ad privilages.

Thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jtrosky:
Just tried it - no luck... Suspect that it needs to write to root filesystem which is currently read-only...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] fireproof34:
That is correct it has to be written to the image.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] fireproof34:
The file that needs Changed is wpa-suppliant. There are tons of how to for real rooted tabs but since we are not there yet it has to be cooked in.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] swlaraut:
Thanks for the try. This is my first jump into Android (I am a long time winmo lover from over at ppcgeeks).

Someday my beloved TP2 will die and I will most likely end up with a droid of some sort. Anyway been enjoying this unit and after getting the android market place to work on it the only thing I really need is the adhoc tethering.

I wonder if I can use internetsharing from my TP2? Long shot. Have to find a duel mini usb cord and try.

I will keep checking in on this thread to see if someone solves the adhoc issue.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Dochoppy:
OK HEADS UP! Watch the first post for changes.

1st off. With the new Rom You will need to learn how to put your tablet into flash mode.

I will be posting 2 Roms from here on out.

1 will be based off of the existing cramfs.system file Rom.

2 Rom will be based off of COMPLETELY ROOTED Rom with ext3 file system.

So All in All, With help from Finless Bob! (Great guy!) I figured out what the issue was I was having. Finless Is also going to be creating a Rom for this tablet. Both Finless's Rooted Rom and Mine will have to be flashed the same way! Stay Tuned for an update.

But here is just a taste.

891MB of internal storage free with all apps that are currently loaded in the Cramfs version of the Rom. Fully RW System. Stay Tuned!

[Miscellaneous Android Development] finlessbob:
Thanks Doc for the credits! However you have a lot of experience with the Market for this tablet and getting it working. So it's a "shared" progress! Glad I could help you out and other Nextbook 7 Premium users!

I think Doc will be cooking up a cool ROM for sure!

Bob
[Miscellaneous Android Development] fireproof34:
Sweet! you are the man!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] demkantor:

[Miscellaneous Android Development] wilson pickett:
hello i can report 100 per cent success with finless bob's flash.

i've had the tablet since november when big lots first started carrying them for 129.proper link.

http://www.freaktab.com/showthread.php?82-Nextbook-7-Premium-TEST-Full-Root-ROM-by-Finless-Bob

i half rooted my tablet with wendal's tools the day i got it.

finless bob's flash procedure is not for the faint of heart,it isn't just a simple image file.

if you are not sure of what you're doing,you might want to wait until doc happy comes out with a rom.

but,it does work.i'm rooted with rw access to the system file.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] finlessbob:
Doc will not be able to come out with a ROM that will allow a simple copy to flash! It is not possible. The structural changes converting from cramfs to ext3 will not allow the recovery system to use a simple update.img that gets copied to the SDCard!!!!

I have been through that a million times! It wont work. He can come up with a update.img but it will always require a flash using the RKBatch tool which means you need drivers installed. RKbatch tool or RKAdndroid tool. Same thing basically. Again you will never be able to flash this conversion with a simple copy update.img to the SDCard. It is just not possible due to how the recovery update system works.

Here is why. The update system does not format anything. Converting to ext3 requires the formatting of the IBD. The only way to do that is using one of the 2 flashing tools.

So again this root will always be for the "faint of heart". Trust that you can always unbrick one of these tablets though as long as you have a known working ROM.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] mingolianbeef:
What the hell does America sell us.! how do we go from 160 to 890 mb of free space. Sorry had to do a little rant there lol. But amazing. This definitely gives me some breathing room for building a better ROM.!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] swlaraut:
WOW. Looking forward to this one. Any chance of getting some screen shots of the new roms on page 1 when up and running?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] demkantor:
thats fine with me, ive rooted and updated many android phones (mainly the g1) im fine try out the tricky stuff - as soon as it is posted ill be one of the first to try (providing i have time) but i do have one question.

any chance of flashing a custom recovery to these? for one thing in the future it may make it easier for others to flash rw roms. also as in Amon_ra's or clockwork's you get all the options for nand and bart backups to ease the minds of those who fear the worst for their tablet.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] finlessbob:
Guys, the reason I was able to increase app space was a simple thing. And I mean a REAL SIMPLE thing! Realize the manufacturers PORT Android OS and do not do much work in my opinion on optimization! They port it and get it working and thats about it so they can get the product out! Well at least on under $300 tabs based on ROMs I have been looking at! There is SO MUCH that could be enhanced turning a $200 tab into a screamer!

Doc got some tips and I am glad he figured it out with my help, and I am glad to have helped him and you guys get the most out of your money! Stay tuned I think it will get even better!

I am looking at the recovery system now on this ROM. Unfortunatly not having this tablet it is difficult to test anything and the recovery system is something you do not want to screw with lightly!

I know the Arnova's are always able to unbrick (due to built in FLASH system in unflashable ROM) but I do not know about this tab. You could make a permanent brick if recovery gets hosed up! If you have no manual way using buttons to get into the hard ROMs boot flash tool, you could be in trouble.

Bob
[Miscellaneous Android Development] finlessbob:
My new full root ROM with Market preinstalled is now available.

Find it on freaktab :)

Can't wait to see Doc's ROM too...

I hope you enjoy,

[Miscellaneous Android Development] NewCenturyAuto:
So what about us guys that have the serial yf1211??

Are we going to be able to use Dochoppy or finless rom @all??! Please say yes!! :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jtrosky:
I'm certianly willing to try it! I've downloaded the ROM, but am getting CRC errors while extracting system.img. I've asked to have the .zip file verified. Once I get a good copy, I'll try it and let you know (I have a 1211 serial num)!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Nemlack:
I also downloaded and unzipped the file, and I also got an error while unzipping. Finless would you be able to re-zip and upload your flash package again?

Also about using this image with serials starting with 1211, DocHoppy's ROM was based on the Original firmware posted on the Nextbook website for serials based on 1011. That ROM worked fine on my NB7 which has a serial 1211. I suspect that Finless's ROM which is also based on the original 1011 Firmware should also work on 1211 serials, but we won't know until someone tries :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] chanaz:
As far as my NX7P flashing experiments go, 1211 (and any other, but don't take my word, I haven't tested anything) models should work to, since the main difference is the build date, and the rom version that shipped with the device.

The reason we were getting invalid image errors before was because the custom rom and the stock were the same version number (although that could be bypassed by flashing it with the RockBatch tool, which Doc and Finless will be using, so no more of that).
[Miscellaneous Android Development] finlessbob:
Sorry guys, I fixed the upload... My partner reset the server as I was uploading. Let me know if you still have any issues now.....

Bob
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Dochoppy:
Thanks for letting em know Finless.

As for DocHoppyRom, I look to be releasing in the next day or two. Stay tuned.

I will release in two formats.

One will be as an update image bundled with rkbatch tool. Some people may find it a little easier than using the rk29xx tools. I will also be postin the rom in a zip bundle for use with rk29xx tools. Both will include a full instructions read me.

I will continue to release a cramfs version as well for those that don't need or care about system rw.

Cheers!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] stlfan:
FYI -Got stuck in a reboot loop using Finless' rom - my device has SN beginning with1211 - reflashed to stock ROM from Nextbooks website, then rooted again with DocHoppy's original rom, and all is well..must be an issue with 1211 SN device, but doesn'tmake sense if the new rom is based on the original rom DocHoppy used in the first rooted rom...I'm confused...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] d33dvb:
Im not brave enough to rip into this but its rw /system and rk2818 based next 3/4 go ahead risk a brick for the greater good lol

[Miscellaneous Android Development] NewCenturyAuto:
Ok so I flashed the orignal image that Dochoppy put up @ the begining of this thread..... and everything is absolutly perfect!!

So I have 2 questions, with these 2 new versions of the ROM that Dochoppy and Fineless are working on, what's the benifit to flashing anything other then the one that is already available?? It works excellent!!

And then here's the other question, now that I have the market on the tab. How to I trick the market in thinking I have a compatable device for most of the apps on the market?

Most apps I search don't show up and I'm assuming the market thinks the tab. Is incompadable. If I back the apps up on my phone I can transfer them with ease and they work great!

Sorry for the long post... :=) Great work BTW guys on these mods, I really feel like I'm using a much more expensive tablet then I have! I love it! :=)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] swlaraut:
I need a little help on this one. I have a 1211 device and cant find were you got the stock rom on the web site :mad: ? All I can find is firmware update for the 1011 rom. Any pointers greatly appriciated :( .

---------- Post added at 10:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:00 PM ----------

I am new to Android, but I got the market place to work just fine on the stock rom using the method listed below. The only thing missing in the instructions is that you need java JDK platform installed on your computer. Hope this helps.

http://gunnersbarn.wordpress.com/2011/11/04/how-to-install-android-market-to-nextbook-premium-7/
[Miscellaneous Android Development] wilson pickett:
to gain rw access to the system folder.

finless bob's second rom is causing boot loops.i have a yf 1011 tab and mine bootlooped.

the first rom,without the market, works fine.

to manually install the old market(1.8),install these 4 files in this order.

1 one time init

2setup wizard

3framework

4vending

after the last file is installed you will be prompted to open it.DON'T OPEN IT.

instead reboot your tablet.

after reboot you will have the old market,no ads,no bloat.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] stlfan:
I used the 1011 stock rom off Nextbook's site - there is no rom available for SN 1211 - don't know why - the stock 1011 rom worked witout any problem, which is why I don't understand if the latest rooted rom is based on the 1011 stock rom, why the newest rooted rom doesn't work--tis a puzzlement....
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jtrosky:
The reason that there is no firmware for anything after 1011 is becuase the newer devices already came with the latest version of the ROM. If you notice, the ROM's are actually labelled as "updates" for the SN's specified. SInce the 1211 SN's (and newer) didn't need the update, they weren't listed. I believe they are the exact same devices and same ROM's.

FYI - the newer rooted ROM (with RW system access and market) is not working for ANY devices, not even 1011 devices.... I suspect it will be fixed quickly. Remember the guy that did the ROM doesn't even have a Nextbook!!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] swlaraut:

[Miscellaneous Android Development] demkantor:
read the whole thread here and you'll have your answer on rooting. as for a good cover... i just ordered one from ebay, ill post in a week or so and let everyone know how it works, i tried the one i had for a different 7in tablet but it was too big for these (np7 slid right out) and if you havent done it yet i recommend the matte screen protector for these $8 on ebay but well worth it!

---------- Post added at 05:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:32 PM ----------

the beat way is to ask them! if a dev doesnt have a donate button you can always pm them and see if they have a paypal or something. developers rearly get paid anything and when they do its not nearly as much as they should. if these devs help you, id recommend some sort of donation! (i dare say i havent done so myself yet...)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] finlessbob:
Sorry about the issues with my new ROM. I made many changes I did not make in the TEST ROM. My TEST ROM was just to see if I could do it with no other changes just a simple root and conversion to ext3. Many are optimizations I have learned from rooting other tabs to make things faster and more efficient. I obviously went to far with some of them or made a mistake doing it. Some info was shared with me today with df dumps from stock ROM and I think I have the answer. It's either the Market files I used wont run on this tab (doubtful) or I added too much space to /system, or the bootloader I provided was not compatible!

I will have it nailed next go around. Remember I do not actually have this tablet so YOU GUYS are the testers for me... Sorry about that.

No - certainly not anything to worry about it - I only use it to check battery percentage, but there are tons of other ways of doing that, so it won't be necessary to waste time on this!

By the way - one of the reasons I was waiting for RW /system was so that I could replace wpa_supplicant with one that supports ah-hoc connections.
