I have found that if you have a rooted phone you are trying to tether to, wifi tether beta 10 works great at connecting the tablet to the phone. Using it right now to post this in fact. ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jtrosky:
Thanks for the info - unfortunately, my phone is an iPhone 3gs (it's a work phone)... While it's jailbroken, the prodcut I use (MyWi) only supports ad-hoc connections... Maybe I'll see if they ever updated MyWi (I don't use the iPhone much anymore since I started to use Android tablets) to do Infrastructure connections.

Thanks again.

dilkes -

I do not know if the rom would work with your device. I have a email out to the mfg to fine out if the update.img file on their site will work for your device.

What exactly is the model number/serial? (EDIT_ saw the serial number....Doh...sometimes I read a bit quickly.)

Mine is a nextbook 7 premium. the only hardware button is the power button and reset button. It has 4 soft buttons which light up when used after the device is booted.

bad thing is, unless you can get root on the device, you wouldn't be able to pull a back up of your table via adb, which would be helpfull because then you could recover using the rk29xx tools which allow you to flash just individual parts of

the rom, (IE. Boot.img,system.img...etc)

What are the specs? Processor etc.. If you go into your tablet, go to settings and about nextbook can you tell me the following?

Model Number:

Android Version:

Kernal version:

Build Number:

As far as the wireless connection goes, you may try changing the wireless channel on your router, if there are lots of wireless routers in your area, most likely the bulk of them are on the same wireless channel. You should be able to do this through the interface on your computer when you put in the ip address assigned to your router for your computer to use as a gateway address.

I hope I have been somewhat helpful.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Turbocom:
Do you have any plans on removing the useless stuff they've added at the top of the tablet? When I say useless stuff I mean the back, home, menu buttons in the operating system.

Sorry if you've already removed these I don't actually have the tablet yet and I'm not sure whether or not I should get it. My biggest concern and dislike about the tablet are these software buttons.

Great work either way. What else do you plan on doing? I'd definitely give donations if this was kept active and updated.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] lothrids:
I know you are working on the file system which is awesome but I was wondering if you were planning on removing the stock YouTube player. No rush on the answer. Very low priority question.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dilkes:
To: Docchoppy

Thanks for taking the time to look at my issues. To answer the questions about my unit:

Physically, it is exactly as youi describe..just has a serial number more recent than those shown on the Nextbook web site:

Model Number:Next7P

Android Version: 2.3.1

Kernal version:2.6.32.27

Build Number:V2.0.27.GINGERBREAD.eng.root.20111206.152602_HW:2.0.0.0.0

Regarding the wireless:

I'll try changing the channel on the router, but it seems strange it would connect OK when I set up the wireless access as unsecured, but not when I have WPA2 security on?

I haven't had a chance to try it with another router in a coffee shop or somewhere that has WPA2, but will.

Thanks again for the guidance..any more thoughts welcome.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Dochoppy:
Going off of the information you gave me, your build number etc are identical. I would think that the Rom should work.

lothrids -

The you tube player has been replaced the stock version was 1.14.1 the one in the 2.1 version of this rom is 2.2.16

BUT as I was typing, I decided to pull up a video on the you tube app installed.

I had to turn my tablet to landscape in order for it to play....weird. I will have to check up on that.

ANd to update during this even. I updated the you tube app to current... 2.3.4 and it does the same thing. Odd.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] lothrids:
I have noticed that too. I have seen this before in other tablets and the only thing I can think that might causing the problem is perhaps the tablet is not officially type excepted by Google and the work around is not really showing it as a tablet just and android device. In any case I still like the market version vs the stock player.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Turbocom:
I'm buying this tablet today. Hopefully this rom removes those things.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Dochoppy:
You might like this little tablet.

As far as software buttons go, there is no hardware volume up and down on these tabs just an fyi. the software buttons on the notification bar have not been removed yet..though that is something that may happen in a future version.

Cheers!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] catr8:
Dochoppy I pm'ed you, but what I need to know if you can point me in the direction of being able to have rw on the nextbook 7 premium? can you tell me if there are tutorials to start helping out on hacking this baby?

Thank you
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dilkes:
I am happy to report the ROM loaded fine. So it looks to work on recent machines (mine had serial XF121134432). I still have the wireless problem connecting thru my router with WPA2, but believe this may be something unique and I will continue to troubleshoot it.

Thanks for the ROM and for the help!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jtrosky:
Just curious - are there any serial numbers that are known to NOT work? I've been recommending this tablet to folks based on my experience over the past week - for $129, you can't beat it...

Just want to make sure if I need to worry about serial numbers when installing your ROM on these things...

Thanks again for your work - makes the tablet a real tablet - and a real bargain.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] terminander:
@ dilkes

For sure if you loaded the Dec 6th factory flash, this flash would work, it is based on that.

I had similar wifi problems with the router at work, yet home and other places worked fine. The Dec. upgrade fixed that for me, but I still can't connect to a Iphone tether.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dilkes:
Thanks for the feedback. The DocHoppy flash did indeed work (except I still have the wireless issue). Now to clarify on the Wireless. If I go load the Dec 6th NextBook factory flash (that's the ones I see on the website by the 2 serial number groups?), will that not wipe out the DocHoppy flash -- and I would need to reload again?

Any other tips on the wireless would be helpful.

Wonderful FORUM...thanks to all.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] terminander:
By the build number you posted, you already had the Dec flash in. Mine came with an earlier build number. That is probably why your sn doesn't show, you already had the upgrade.

Since doc's flash already has this uprade you get nothing by going back.

I believe you are stuck with this bug until Nextbook puts out another update. Not sure if my Iphone issue is Adhoc problem or Nextbook bug, but my android phone sees it no problem.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dilkes:
Thanks

I've got a new router I bought on boxing day sales. I might even plug that into my home network and see if it goes away..really strange that my home wireless works if I set the wireless as 'open', but when I return it to WPA2 auth, the connection doesn't work. I'm going to test again in some other networks that use WPA2 to see if that has anything to do with it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jjmills1977:
I had this problem before and I wanna say it is an IP conflict perhaps. I could be wrong though. Good luck.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Tybalt39:
Still waiting for my Hyundai. There is a forum dedicated to just that model at tabletrepublic. Some have already received theirs, and are happy with it. Apparently, it comes already rooted. Marketplace (sorry, Play) can be installed with a script.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] demkantor:
I picked up the hyundai a7, pretty good, great battery life, but without root I still like my np7 better. The only thing the np7 needs is ad hoc built into the rom, a custom recovery, and well just diffrent hardware but hey I'm not complaining

TUN/TAP Device

As I would like to use this device on my works guest Wireless network and the VPN I was wondering if anyone had been able to add the TUN.KO to this kernel.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] demkantor:
Oh and as far as unbrickable comments go, if you mess with the recovery and do something wrong and lose the revovery, well there's no secondary program loader on these so you will have a brick
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kibmcz:
Well there is a low level rockchip bootloader mode that operates below recovery... that has worked for me when rest wast totally messed up.

Basicly reboot device with paperclip and hold reset down after reset started.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] demkantor:
My mistake, I was under the impression that was part of the recovery and if recovery was lost that method wouldn't work.

But if it is an spl then I like this device even more for now we can try to make a whole new recovery for it!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kibmcz:
Yep :). It is basicly like the DFU black screen mode on iOS devices since it shows nothing on screen when its active.

You got no way to tell if its in that mode without using the special tools that you write to it with.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mtebrinke:
Thanks for all of the amazing work you guys have out into the 7P!

[Miscellaneous Android Development] NewCenturyAuto:
So did we ever figure out how to get the Market.... I'm sorry the Play Store to see the NP7 and a offical tablet??
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kibmcz:
You got to manually install it (i've attached it to this message) and i also Play Store 2.4.7 (seems to be latest pushed for auto update on gingerbread but the attached 3.5.15 works if installed manually) in my cramfs based rom (link in signature) with market updater.

Hope this helps.

G-play STORE

You might wanna cruz over to Freaktab , finless posted a market fix yesterday for anyone that has downlaoded any of his roms its basically an engine that installs all of the files needed to get the full market with the NB7
[Miscellaneous Android Development] finlessbob:
If you can get me a 0511 stock ROM or a link to download one, I will certainly do up a ROM for you.

Bob
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ZonaMojo:
The problem with the Play Store is not that it isn't seeing the NextBook as a tablet. The problem is, it won't let you install some apps to Gingerbread w/ the NextBook screen resolution.

If you are seeing the message that this app can't be downloaded to this device on normal apps that should run on Gingerbread, then you have a Market problem. Finless over at FreakTab has created a script that fixes this issue. He has also included a very detailed video on how to fix it. Give this a look: http://www.freaktab.com/showthread.php?442-Google-Play-quot-FIX-quot-Patch-kit-for-all-my-1-4-ROMs

I know it works on the Finless 1.4 rom sets. I am not sure if it works on Doc's rom.

---------- Post added at 01:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:41 PM ----------

I couldn't find the #FY1211 either, so I just download the latest firmware for the #FY1011 on the NextBook site and used the Rockchip Batch Tool to install it. When it rebooted, my tablet was in its original state. Then from there I flashed a custom rom. Seems the only difference between the #FY1011 firmware and the #FY1211 is the #FY1211 comes with the Wi-Fi update already installed. But you'll get that update anyway from the #FY1011 firmware update on the NextBook site.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] d33dvb:

Can you please build us the CM7 rom for RK2918? Ill be the guinea pig, apparently it works on other RK2918 tabs flawlessly

[Miscellaneous Android Development] finlessbob:
I have yet to see a Clockwork Recovery or CM7 on any rockchip 2918 tablet. The recovery system is WAY different. If you know of one that is working point me to it and I will have a look.

I have been successful at changing the recovery system to more like the older RK28 ROMs where kernel is in boot.img along with a RAM disk. So I think it is possible BUT I have yet to see a CM7 code ported to Rk29 kernel. So while I think I can get it setup, I am not a code writer or porter to get the thing running.

Did I brick my P7?

I placed the V2.0 update.img on my sd card. After installing and restarting all I get is the brief splash screen of the woman in the grass then the screen stays stuck on the Doc Hoppy Rom SU CRAMFS STYLE V3.0 with the green android on the bottom right. I have pressed reset, held the reset button down and it just comes back to the same screen. Any one have any ideas?

[Miscellaneous Android Development] kibmcz:
A linux machine/vm with basic understanding of linux really is all you need.

I installed Ubuntu Server 10.04.4 then installed these packages "sudo apt-get install xorg gdm gnome-core gksu gcomf-editor file-roller" but for you id go simpler and get desktop version.

Download and install Oracle VM VirtualBox from https://www.virtualbox.org/

Download Ubuntu (i used 10.04 LTS cause of the lower 512mb ram footprint for vm) from http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download

Install Ubuntu in the vm using the iso

Extract system.img from the rom download to the linux vm home folder

Open terminal

Run the command "sudo mkdir /media/system"

To mount image run the command "sudo mount -t ext3 -o loop ~/system.img /media/system"

To unmount image run the command "sudo umount /media/system"

Copy the updated system.img out of the vm and re-flash it via rkandroid tool (keep backup of non modified one).

This should help

Load times

I have 2 of the nb7p's and i put Doc's 2.0 on both. They are both yf12. I was wondering what boot times you all were seeing. My stock rom loaded rather quickly but these both now take much longer. Maybe 2 or 3 minutes.

Any thoughts?

Also i have been away for a while, has there been any updates? Didn't see any in the thread but i may have missed something. Was wondering if Doc cooked the new wpa into the rom or anything.

Thanks!

Good Afternoon,

I just acquired 2x Nextbook Premium 7. I'm planning on giving one to my son for his birthday next month, and I'll be using the other one for work.

I was disappointed when I realized that Google Play was unavailable. It was confirmed once I wrote to Nextbook.

Now, I thought about rooting the device, but it would be a first for me. And I want to confirm that my serial number is OK, since it is not covered in the original post. The number starts with YF0312. From my understanding, it means that it was produced in March 2012, and is an later model that the YF1011.

Can someone tell me if I can root this device?

Thanks in advance,
