Resolved my issue last night. Have full working Market able to purchase with out having to fool around with clearing cache or force stop etc. Working on new version of Rom. Also fixed the settings>aboutphone>status error people were getting.

Stay Tuned!

Cheers!

DocHoppy.

P.S. THis will be both a Cramfs replacement release and a Full Root Release replacement.

Can somebody give me a link to a tool that can extract the system image.? I wanna make some changes.!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] NewCenturyAuto:
Don't, its okay to help yourself every now and then! :) Enjoy a great Tablet!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Dochoppy:
Since system is ext3, under linux copy the system.img file to a directory Make a Directory called system, the sudo mount -t ext3 -o loop system.img system, open the dir you made as root, make your changes, and then sudo umount system.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] NewCenturyAuto:
OKAY! Due to everyone raving about the newer DocH. ROM I want to flash it now! Is there anyway someone could post or PM a little bit of a step by step... I seem to be having trouble put my NB7 in flash mode.

Docs step by step seems to be general instructions on for a RK29 device...... Kinda lost!:confused: Don't want brick my Tab.

Any help would be awesome, thank you in advance! :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Dochoppy:
Since system is ext3, under linux copy the system.img file to a directory Make a Directory called system, then

sudo mount -t ext3 -o loop system.img system

open the dir you made as root, make your changes, and then

sudo umount system

and you will have edited your system.img file.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mingolianbeef:
Awesome.! I just set up Ubuntu on my pc Saturday. Will do when I get free time, school comes first of course.!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] demkantor:
how to...

ok here you go (this will be for a windows 7 64bit)

download rom

download drivers (someone posted a link a few pages back)

plug in np7 and find it on your computer (right click computer>properties>device manager (find np7 here i think under usb controllers)

right click on it properties>driver>update driver

tell windows youll find it on your own - brose to where you put the drivers (wip7 or something like that) select the proper driver and update

now open the rk29 update (on the buttom of the screen it should say no found tablet or whatever)

unplug your np7, power down, plug into comp while holding the reset button, no you should see "found rk....blabla"

check all boxes except backup

click erase IDB

click the "..." box at the end of each of the lines and put in the proper image that is extracted from the dochoppy folder you had

once all is done then hit run, wait 20min and you will have the latest and greates!

oh and check out the read me files to make sure i dint skip something, between those and what i wrote here you should be in good shape!

make sure you thank dochoppy!!!!!!!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Dochoppy:
Yes I know I am slacking, I didn't actually put instructions in that zip...I did in the other self extracting file I had made.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] NewCenturyAuto:
Awesome! Going to try this right now! Do u think there would be a risk trying this on a 32bit Win7 machine ?

Thank you and thank you Dochoppy for all the hard work! :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] demkantor:
hey dont worry, i find it more fun to try and figure things out myself and not be completely spoon fed! i mean you already made an awesome rom and figured out how to do what no one else has done yet full root! so great job, keep it up, and anyone who needs help flashing can find all they need within this thread!

:)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kibmcz:
I used similar method to customize mine ;)

That reminds me of a pm I need to send you lol.

Its safe any edition of win7 I used x64 and if was fine.

Sent from my Kustom Kream powered Nexus S
[Miscellaneous Android Development] NewCenturyAuto:
Awesome!!!! :) Everything worked out great, Newest ROM flashed!

I had one small hiccup...... Win7 Decided to load it's own driver for the np7 titled " HTC Dream Composite ADB Interface"

So all I had to do was tell windows to find it within the DocHoppy Folder, and I was good from there...... :) (After Putting the np7 in flash mode)

So everything made sense to me in the original instructions besides the part that said "hold physical menu button while connecting the np7 to the comp."! Minor misunderstanding!

Anyway thank you demkantor for the extra help, and Dochoppy for a wonder creation...... WOW look @ all that device memory! WooHoo!! LOL :D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Dochoppy:
Even I had to learn how to do stuff, I just got lucky I ran into Finless to give me an outside point of view. Lol You have know Idea how frustrating it was having a working boot.img and having it hang at initlogo.rle perpetually because the offsets I had put into the parameter file were causing the system.img to over write the rest of the rom.......... :o

But having learned from my mistake. I have set my self up a good little "lab" so to speak and am constantly testing and changing stuff now. Next release should be a doozey.

Cheers!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] NewCenturyAuto:
Awesome can't wait!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mingolianbeef:
Is initlogo.rle in the system.img, because I'm thinking of changing the splash screen again, because essentially I'm doing my own ROM release and I don't want it to be just a changed version of yours, I really wanna throw some cool elements into it.!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] TuanVantu:
boot.img

I don't have linux but is it possible to do this under windows with 7zip?

I can hexedit out the KRNL header in boot.img, everything up to 1F8B and so it's a gzip. Extract the boot.img file then extract the contents of boot.img.

The file structure is all there including initlogo.rle

I used the conversion tool from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1140406 to check and convert the .rle image files from DocHoppy's ROM and the original stock ROM and they're what I expected. Make sure to edit the batch files to 800X480.

I want to delete the initlogo.rle

I'd like to know if it's possible to just tar the directories and files and then gzip the file. Re-add the KRNL header. Then flash the new boot.img. Would I need to change the parameter file as well?

I'd go ahead and do it, but I'd need to know if I can flash _just_ the DocHoppy boot.img in case of screw ups. :) Many thanks.

Also been messing around with xml files trying to remove references to the volume buttons and menus in SystemUI.apk
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Dochoppy:
Nope it is in the boot.img

What I did to change was edit a 480x800 .png file, then rotate it 90 degrees to a 800x 480 file. Then ran it through initlogo.rle creator. Found out you had to make the file 800x480 because making one at 480x800 and turning it into a initlogo.rle file, booted ok but the image was distorted. Just an FYI.

Boot Looping

I'm hoping not to be totally screwed! Looking for any help....I loaded the DocHoppy 2.1 ROM several weeks ago and seemed to be working just fine. I switched out my SD card from my Viewsonic gTablet (32g) because that's where I store knitting pattern pdfs. Now I can't stop boot looping. I've tried putting back the original SD card (16g), put a new update.img on a newly formatted SD card (4g), reset "button", holding all 4 soft buttons on start...I've tried every trick I can find but nothing seems to work. Anyone? This tab is so much lighter than my gTab I'd like to keep using it [as a tablet and not a paperweight] if possible. Thanks

blessings,

nance
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mingolianbeef:
Okay thanks, hey look up sosa-tab premium in the Android general section, I was kinda playing with the system files in Ubuntu and I expect to release no later than next week depending on how school goes this week.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] MuskMan:
I am having issues trying to install this. I cannot get the drivers to update. Win7 keeps saying drivers are up to date when I try and not installing the rockusb.inf I have tried to uninstall the Next7p drivers but it just reinstalls them every time.

The other problem is the reset button..... how do you press it and plug it in at the same time. I did get into "Safe Mode" once but it still showed nothing in the rk29 program

This is the exact issue I am having. Can you describe what you did a bit more clearly? How do you put the np7 in Flash Mode? So what is the "Menu" button I need to press?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] demkantor:
computer - right click > properties > new window

device manager > new window

find your np7 (must be plugged in) right click > properties > new window

click driver tab > update driver > new window

choose update manually > find the proper driver (the one you downloaded ie:64bit or what have you)

click next and you should be good

use a paperclip > hold the reset button in > with other hand plug in usb (it is okay to have the np7 upside down if this is hard for you)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] obiwam:
hi guys i think i know what is the problem with yf0511, i tested out with a have functioning 0511, the four bottom light up but as soon as I flash all component of the new rom except the kernel, as soon as i flash the kernel my four bottom doesn't work anymore, so now i am stuck.. Can someone with the 0511 post the old kernel so i can flash it back to working condition than you
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mhoward223:
I'm having trouble getting the boot.img to rebuild.

I made some changes to init.rc and default.prop and rebuilt the image but no go.

So I took the original boot image and just rebuilt it and get a boot loop as well.

my steps are

# find . | cpio --create --format='newc' > /tmp/boot.img

# gzip boot.img

# rkcrc -p boot.img.gz boot.img

Any suggestions?

Thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Dochoppy:

YF1211

I just picked this model up... two things

1 - How do i reboot to recover on this model?

2 - The instructions in the DocHoppy self extractor reference driver installation but there is no driver installation instructions in the extraction. help?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] MuskMan:
Thank You!! ROM works like a charm. This was my first time flashing anything android. I may have to look into doing something with my phone next.

As to this ROM.... How hard is it to add in my own boot animation? Once this ROM is updated what do I need to do to update my Next7 and not lose my data (I have Titanium Backup) Now that I am rooted what other things can I do easily?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mingolianbeef:
In order to add a custom boot animation, you are going to have to decompile the system.img file in LINUX, open as root and make your changes, then recompile the system.img and flash it with the rk tool thing.!

Edit: or you can purchase a boot animation changer app from the market and try you're luck with one of those.!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Nemlack:
MuskMan I had the same problem with Windows not allowing me to browse for the proper driver and with Windows trying to install it's own driver and not letting go of it. When you update drivers (on Win 7 64Bit) you have to be careful what option you choose. Don't let Windows download from Windows Update because it will choose the wrong driver. You have to choose it yourself, but then there are still two choices. It did not like it when I choose the Browse option. I had to first choose "Let me choose from a list of devices" then don't choose any device in particular, and then choose the "I have a disk" option. Only then would it allow me to browse for the proper RK19 driver.

Now outside of this it is very important that you first put your NB7 into

proper "Flash" mode

. When I first tried to install the RK19 driver my tablet was not in Flash mode and even though my computer would beep when it detected the hardware, the driver did not stick until I put my NB7 into proper "Flash" mode. to do this you have to depress the reset pinhole in the back for around 2-3 seconds!! Don't just prick it once as that will cause the NB7 to reboot, but not going into flash mode. If you did it wrong, the NB7 screen will come on (and in my case get stuck at the boot screen). If you did it correctly the NB7 screen

will not come on

, but Windows will still detect it. In my case I was only successful in installing the RK19 driver when my NB7 was in proper flash mode.

Hope this helps.

Driver Installs

I think what is confusing is that you can't just hook up the tablet to a computer and have it ask for a driver. Follow this and you should be able to install the drivers.

1. With the nextbook on, connect the usb cable to the nextbook and to the computer.

2. Ignore what drivers and other messages there are on the PC.

3. Use the pinhole in the back that says reset. With a pin or paperclip, push the reset.

4. The PC will then ask you for a driver.

5. Install the driver you downloaded.

6. That's it, your RK29 device should say something like "Found RK- - -"

That procedure worked for me, but no one told me to first hook up to a computer and then push the reset.

Enjoy!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mhoward223:
For those having problems with windows not allowing to search for a driver, what I did was have device manager open and when unknown USB device showed up I right clicked with the mouse and did update drivers. I had to do this while still holding reset. After I got the update drivers dialog I was able to let go of reset, install drivers then hit reset on the device again and it worked.

Use root explorer and mount system read write. Pick your boot animation you want and put it in data/local/ and it work. That way you can change it whenever you want and leave docs boot untouched.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] MuskMan:
That is what I ended up doing by luck. Hopefully this will help out anyone else suffering the same frustration as I was.

Wi-fi reboot

Great job on this Doc, I love it. Makes my tab awesome. I have one issue, that I also had with Docs 2.1 cramfs rom. My tablet reboots when I turn off wifi. Not always, but about half the time. I tried closing all open programs to see if it was an out of memory situation, but no luck. Any ideas on this? :confused:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Tybalt39:
Any update on Ad-Hoc networks? I installed WifiAdHocEnabler successfully, but it couldn't write. I installed busybox to allow wifiadhocenabler to write, I cycled my WiFi function, and got an "Error" in the WiFi box. I had to re-flash the ROM to get everything working again as I couldn't even power it off (uninstalling didn't help).

I would like to tether this to my WiMo 6.5 phone via WiFi, but I can't seem to get the ad-hoc software to work. Suggestions?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Dochoppy:
I will get to questions as soon as possible.

ON Ad-Hoc, I think that is something I will have to put into the rom prior to cooking it, and I am look at it for the next release.

Dew- What SN# Tablet do you have. One thing to keep in mind is, the tablet I own, that I test on, (something I am taking more time doing for next release) is

SN# starting YF1011. Anything beyond that and I can't make any guarantees that

it will work. Not sure why your tablet would reboot when turning off wifi. That is not something I had issues with.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] spookme:
Hi Doc and all. Well my serial number has all but rubbed off my device (anyone else get that problem) so I took the plunge and tried the rom. Strangely enough, now my soft-buttons down the bottom don't work and the wireless won't turn on (gives an error when it tries to). So I guess I can deduce that I did NOT have a compatible serial number. I guess the wireless and soft button drivers must be different on some of the non-supported models?? Oh well we live and learn... Anyone know if there is any hope for my little tab or is it now just an offline ebook reader? I have tried flashing the digitalone rom and the two stock roms from the Nextbook website. The DocHappy ROm I flashed was the CAMFS one as the other didn't seem to work - the flashing tool seemed to error half way in and brick the device. Thanks for any advice all!

EDIT: Actually - I reran the RK29update and it finished successfully, but still have the same issue. So this is now with the full RW ROM...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] demkantor:
the model numbers seem to have to do with the build dates, so if your sticker has warn off and its older than october of 2011 probably not safe. as of now the earlier models dont seem to have a fix, if yours is already broken i suggest you flash the full root method. chances are this will be the easiest way to fix the problem once someone figures out how. with full root the system is read writable and you may be able to do some adjusting with even a file manager for the fix. with out having an old one in a developers hands its hard to say what needs to be done to fix it though
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Tybalt39:
Great work on this ROM!

If you are adding to your next build, is USB Host an option? I would like to connect a microphone, camera, keyboard, etc. to this. Would make Skype useable....
[Miscellaneous Android Development] demkantor:
great idea! i tried a portable keyboard on this when i first got it, realized it didnt work and then just forgot it was an option. i would love this in the next build!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] :
Cyanogen mod port to rockchip

cyanogen mod port to rockchip devices

[Miscellaneous Android Development] kibmcz:
Tried it a while ago but it needed a fair bit of work.... no wifi, rotation needs fixed, and who knows what else since the port is abandoned.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] swlaraut:
BUMP, dittos, double dittos and pretty please :). Adhoc and usb host would make this ROM PERFECT!

I have a nifty tablet case with a built in usb keyboard I am dying to use.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] NewCenturyAuto:
Has anyone tried this for the market fix?

http://rootzwiki.com/_/articles/how-to-download-incompatible-apps-from-the-android-market-r215

If so, would Nexus S be the right choice for the np7??
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mingolianbeef:
I don't think so cuz we want to be viewed as a tablet to get tablet apps access
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kibmcz:
One flaw to faking a tablet would be that the real tablet apps require 3.0 or higher and this device is only 2.3.1.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] d3adbroke:
Got a quick question I just installed the old Rom the update.Ingram one now I used titanium backup to delelte some of the stock stuff it came with like logo and **** but it wont go away why and how? Thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jtrosky:
Believe it or not, the Nextbook is actually considered a phone, becuase it's not running Honeycomb (or ICS)... So, it doesn't run tablet-specific apps anyway...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kibmcz:
Well even if it had honeycomb or ics the screen Res would be the issue.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] d3adbroke:
Any help guys?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mhoward223:
The old rom had a compressed file system, so when you "delete" stuff, you're not really deleting the file, just the uncompressed virtual file.

Damn thanks I guess I gotta update to the new one
[Miscellaneous Android Development] snappycow:
I am having the exact same problem: Wifi is broken, and the soft buttons doesn't work :/

I did manage to flash the new full root version successfully using the RK29Update.

Strangely enough, my serial number starts with YF1011 so there shouldn't be problems right? :| A little help?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] d3adbroke:
im trying to flash the rom and when i push run i get a error: getting misc offset failed...what am i doing wrong

Nevermind I fixed it and its running nicely
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dragonpassion:
Runes EXELLENT on my next7p!!!! Thank you!!!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ZonaMojo:
After over a week of running this ROM on a YF1211, I have no problems to report. There are a few apps the market won't let me download because it recognizes Gingerbread on this device to be a phone & not a tablet. Not knowing much about ROM building, I was curious if there is a way to get the Market to view this as a tablet. It's not a big deal, as it only effects a few apps.

I also think it is fairly safe to say this ROM will work on YF1011, YF1111, & YF1211 devices, as these all came with the same firmware that didn't require the NextBook official update posted on their site. This leads me to believe that tablets produced prior to YF1011 may have a slightly different hardware configuration...most likely wi-fi.

Also, a final suggestion (after much tweaking by me) to save battery life & speed up the tablet...keep all apps, like the browser, Market, etc. that need to connect to the net thru wi-fi stored on internal memory. That way your tablet uses less energy than if it has to dig around on your SD card. On the SD card I store all apps that do not require internet or wi-fi to run. Wi-fi is the biggest resource drain. Also, task killers are fairly useless on this tablet. We want programs we access often to stay available in RAM so they load quicker. Besides, android will kill off a program not in use if RAM gets too low. On a final note, the display on this tablet is extremely bright, which is also a major battery drain. You can set your brightness level to almost zero and still perfectly view your tablet.

Again, props to Doc Hoppy for this awesome release. Eagerly awaiting to test the next incarnation. Peace.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] demkantor:
First off i have been loving this rom for a week now! Thanks again dochoppy and finlessbob, just a quick question - it seems that since we moved away from the cramfs version i have been getting lower benchmark ratings on linack and neocore

So im wondering if there is a way of tweeking these a bit in the since of overclocking or enabling jit. Anyway i cant understand why the scores would drop somewhat, and i dont care much about that, but i wouldnt mind having the ability to speed things up or slowing things down when id like. Any thoughts?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mingolianbeef:
Overclocking won't be a truly difference making reality until we get someone to build custom kernels that can handle increased processor speeds. furthermore, if u just test the waters by overclocking and get eaten by a shark, aka push the tablet beyond what it can handle, ur looking at pretty bad permanent damage to the tablets hardware which can't be fixed with a rom flash. Just food for thought.
