You may try pulling the sd card during boot. That might throw you into recovery. I have also heard people covering the 4 soft touch buttons and powering on the unit, don't know if that will help though. It's attempting to boot so I don't think you are bricked, just need to get you into recovery.

Danno: Still chasing down the calendar issue. I had to reinstall my OS and lost the changes I had made that allowed me to get Jorte working. Grrr.

Jakereazm: in the case of at least 2 of those roms, yes serial number matters. Sorry.

I am still around. Stay tuned. Working on next version of rom.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] xxProphecyxx:
I tried pulling SD while it was trying to boot, unsuccessful. Also, my soft buttons do not seem to work (don't light up when touched).

You might also try long pressing the reset button on the back, just below the serial number above right speaker (if you are looking at it from the back).
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Dochoppy:
Danno-

Rsolved calendar issue, though I still cannot get any calendar.apk to work.

The only file needed to get Jorte working was Calendarprovider.apk. I am including

both in my next release, (shortly I am tightening some things up as we speak.)

Let me know if you prefer the buisness Calendar instead, I can get that one working as well.

If you are needing to sync with exchange servers, I highly recommend touchdown, it is a great app!

I registered just to thank DocHoppy for all his efforts. I have a Nextbook Premium 7 I got for Christmas from Hastings, which fell into the YF09111XXXX batch. I used Wendal Chen's RK29xxImageTools_v2.1 to unpack the firmware upgrade from the nextbookusa site. I then put the Google apks, SuperUser, Rootexplorer, and re-packed it with a custom bootanimation. Because of my serial # I couldn't use DocHoppy rom without getting that "Invalid Update" error, but using their firmware seems to work.

My next goal is to find a way to get the "Accounts & Sync" into the settings! One of my apps is getting an "Error 42" which is an Android Market authentication error... however, other apps have worked without any problems so it's difficult to tell if that's the issue I'm having.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Dochoppy:
FYI becareful Nextbook site was hacked as of today.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Danno65:
Great!

I did put the Calendarprovider.apk file in the root with wendalls tools, repacked, re flash but still could not get Jorte to sync, I must of done something wrong.

Business calendar would be wonderful if you can get it to sync with my google calendar account.

Will checkout Touchdown, currently using Mail Droid.

I see you have already posted an update, do not see the link.

Thanks again.

Danno
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Dochoppy:
Link is there, look at first post on the first page. ;)

You also have to get your gmail account going first, either by running market or gmail. make sure your connected to wifi.

After that, calendar syncing should kick in.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] demkantor:
thanks for your hard work dochoppy, and everyone else working on this too!

i picked my nextbook premium 7 up a month ago and very little help searching for how to root this on the web. i figured out on my own how to download some .apk's on here and i got myself the real market and gmail and a few other things i stole from varrious gapps i had.

i love this little tablet way better then the last china one i got (this one only 40$ more)

i cant wait to try out your custom rom this weekend, id do it now but im on my nb7 right now and dont have computer acess.

one thing i hope someone is working on is an easy to get to and useable recovery for this?

either way i cant wait to try your rom for i need superuser to work!

thanks in advance!

[Miscellaneous Android Development] tingchung_chin:
same issue happen to me, my SN also start with YF1011, but the residual number are out of the rom in official website.

Dochoppy, do we have a general ROM that can fit all N7P?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] catr8:
Dochoppy I just flash your update but when I go to the market it says my device is not compatible thereby denying me the ability to download the gothemes, or the gowidgets.

Help please, & thank you for this rom.

*****UPDATE*****

I re-flashed dochoppy's v2.1 rom and now it works fine don't know what happened.

***** QUESTION *****

How to do a recovery, also is there any tutorial in how to mod the roms? thank you
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jtrosky:
Hi all - new owner of a Nextbook 7 Premium (running DocHoppyRom within minutes of opening, of course!) - and I had a few questions for you folks - any help is appreciated...

1. Anyone know of a way to get this device to see ad-hoc wifi connections (for tethering purposes)?

2. I noticed that after installing a few apps, that the "device space low" warning came up... What are the partitions on this thing? I'm confused as to where my 4GB of space is!

Thanks alot - look forward to future versions of the ROM as well - it's awesome!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] lothrids:
Doc Hoppy's rom is based on the one released from the nextbook web site. If your sn# doesn't fall into that range then chances are there is something different with your nextbook that makes it incompatible with the rom. That is a good thing for you. If you had been able to flash to doc hoppy's rom you may have bricked your tab. Before you will be able to do anything with that tab you will have to wait for nextbook to release a image for it. Then it should just be a matter of opening the image and making changes. I know this does help much but there you go...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jtrosky:
Hey - I just found (by accident) that if you hold down the hardware search key and press the hardware home key at the same time, the hardware key lights will stay on (until the next hardware key press)... Not sure if that was in stock ROM as well, but wanted to pass on the info, just in case it wasn't already known....

Thanks.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kibmcz:
I got some tidbits you might like in your rom :)

Network location and the green wifi icon.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] NewCenturyAuto:
Speaking of the notification bar.... What is the half + icon when in portrait mode?? Drives me nutts! :D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] randomreadme:
Wilson, There's an app on the google market for on-screen volume control that works really well on the Nextbook with your cm7. It's "Volume Control" by RubberBigPepper.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] kibmcz:
And to get proper rotation just add/change this line in build.prop.

ro.sf.hwrotation=270

---------- Post added at 06:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:27 PM ----------

Not enough space when in vertical mode... issue caused by the cheesy UI buttons added to status bar in the stock rom.

I have tried to use a pure SystemUI but it just wont work :(.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] fireproof34:
Im using screenshot.

Doc i like the new launcher, but take a look at honeycomb launcher by team syndicate. It is very close to the real thing and has some sweet featuers. They also have an ics (ice cream samdwich) launcher this is really cool.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Dochoppy:
Give me time to find what in the system UI that came with the RK launcher is giving me fits and you will have a full honeycomb launcher. :P Between the system UI and framework-res.apk there is something that just argues with me.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mingolianbeef:
Yo love the rom man.!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DrDaveXDA:
Thank you Dochoppy! My daughter has had her YF1211 serial number for only about a month and it spontaneously stopped getting past the first two boot pictures; the screen just always went blank. I couldn't connect with adb, but your procedure worked to reinitialize it and get it working again. She is very happy, and I'm happy for the root capability and google calendar syncing.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] NewCenturyAuto:
I downloaded and tried both of those launchers.... this is my opinion but, when I use something like a tablet or smart phone I look for smooth flowing graphics. If it does not have smooth graphics I'm not interested... both those launchers seemed to be a little glitchy for for me, while swiping through home screens.... and kept getting force close when trying to set wallpaper on the ICS launcher.

The Rk.launcher that is provided with the last ROM runs very smooth on my np7. It kinda feels like I have a smaller version of that Acer honeycomb tab. That Best Buy is selling for $350.00! LOL
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kibmcz:
Rk.launcher is kinda ok but it breaks if you remove the generic quick search box also it has odd issues where drawer grid gets crunched up.

I mod mine to only have adw... i find it runs smooth and works good.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] fireproof34:
So i have decided to just use go launcher with the Honneycomb Theme. Seems to work the best.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Dochoppy:
For those with a yf0911 SN#

Try this Rom. it is a test version of hoppyrom for that serial number. If it boots and works ok, I will make a fully rooted version and post.

Ad-Hoc'd into this tornado

To All,

So I get this NP7 and i think "Wow this will be great, I can use it with my Phone to browse anywhere" Then I discover a term 'Ad-Hoc' Which leads me to google which leads me here....

Now I see that it's not only an Ad-hoc thing but a world of unknown wonderfulness and all I have to do is learn a ton of new lingo, read for hours, and take a plunge. Well I have just spent HOURS reading everypage of this thread and I have DL'd what I think is Doc's latest rev but before I begin to stick paper clips in things I had a question.....

Do you think Ad-Hoc is close? Without it my NP7 loses it's appeal when I leave the house. Where I live WIFI hotspots are rare and mostly protected.

Also any "Hey before you do blank make sure you do blank" comments are appreciated.

My device is a 1211 and I just downloaded the Doc rom version 2.0 from Freaktab

Thanks Doc!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] NewCenturyAuto:
Haha I'm doing the same thing! Love the transitions! Make the np7 fun to use! :):D

Ever since I have been posting in this thread I have been reading about this whole "ad-hoc" thing!? From what I have gathered, its a certain frequency that certain phones give off for wireless hotspot tethering?? Right?

Can an app help or fix this ?? like..... ZT-180 Adhoc Switcher

[Miscellaneous Android Development] NewCenturyAuto:
I'm still trying to find out where to download CM7, the only place I found it was the official web site.... CM7 for RK28 &29 devices, but its only 2 images, "boot" and "system".

The Doc ROM has 7 items that make the ROM... I was nervous to flash CM7! :(
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Dochoppy:
Nope, was it downloaded from the market or side loaded?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] TuanVantu:
Replace the boot and system.img with the CM7 ones and keep all others the same and repeat the same procedure. Worked fine on mine, but as always your mileage may vary. But you can always reflash.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] :
i downloaded the game to test this and it was logged into.someone elses account on mine too
[Miscellaneous Android Development] fireproof34:
This is correct. Just replace those 2 .img's in the folder where docs rom extracts and flash as normal. Has anyone figured out the Gsensor problems. I really wanna us Cm on this TAb!

[Miscellaneous Android Development] NewCenturyAuto:

[Miscellaneous Android Development] TuanVantu:
I have an acceptable fix, sensor setting is still overly touchy while playing games like Doodle Jump but definitely playable.

I tried adding ro.sf.hwrotation=270 that was suggested earlier in the thread. This

did not work

for me and I had to restore build.prop via ADB.

So I tried the tip from androtab.info. In build.prop I removed the # comments from

accelerometer.flip_xy=1
accelerometer.invert_x=1

And it works as normal. However portrait-only apps will still launch upsidedown, meaning the capacitive buttons are on top. Doesn't affect the app in any way though.

Also, wifi needs to be toggled on after a reboot. But once on, stays on.

SDCard needs remounting after every power on or reboot as well.

Other than that it's all the wonderful features you've come to expect from CM and working flawlessly. I went ahead and removed most of the .apks that don't apply to the Nextbook: camera, mic, etc.

Android Market works 100% for purchases thanks to wilson pickett's advice.

I'd recommend it for daily use, only thing missing is a fully functional clockworkmod recovery. Android 2.3.7 on a cheapo tablet, lovin it. Hoping someone's porting ICS AOSP or CM9. :D

I've ran into a couple of Apps the Google Market won't let me download because it claims "my device is not compatible". I just went and downloaded them from Amazon.

Using 140 dpi Right now and it looks pretty crisp.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ZonaMojo:
Do a Google search for the name of the app you want followed by .apk For example I wanted the Arizona Daily Star App, but since the Market views the Nextbook as a phone it didn't think I had the screen real estate to display the app. So I searched for Arizona Daily Star.apk and found a site that let me download the file straight to my device. It runs perfectly on the 7" screen. You may need to search around a bit, as some sites just send you back to the market. You want the stand alone .apk file

add wifi network disabled

Thanks for all the great info in here

I installed the dochappy no cramfs rom 2.0 and also a version with substituted CM7 files.

With both versions I can't get wifi to run (my serial is YF101135932). The option to add my network is disabled. If I turn Wifi on it becomes enabled, but the problem is that Wifi only stay on for about 8 sec which isn't long enough for me to enter my details. When I press save, Wifi is turned off again and the network isn't saved.

Any ideas?

Okay so I need to note some things!

1. MY WIFI WORKS (BOTH CM7 and DocHoppy) my serial # is the same as doc's i think

2. AdHoc works! I was @ school and I used my phone (HTC Evo 3D running CM9) to tether my internet connection to my tablet

3. All other misc. problems I hear about (no sound, etc.) dont apply to me! Maybe Im just blessed, idk, but im not having these issues!

P.S. - Be on the lookout if you own the following devices!

HTC Evo 3D - Will be premiering SOSA 1.0 "Apricot" Rom in the coming weeks (Beats audio, Sony Bravia engine, speed tweaks, etc.)

Nextbook Premium 7 - Also premiering SOSA-Tab 1.0 "Apricot" rom (custom home screen, HC 3.0 features, tablet recognization on android market, google apps loaded, etc.)

Velocity Cruz T408 - Same as the NP7 Rom pretty much!

Just some side notes: SOSA="Supreme OS Android", Roms will be released by codenames of fruits like google does desserts (1.0 Apricot, 1.5 Blueberry, 1.6 Blackberry, etc.), Im looking for people to join SOSA to help me build this, feel free to join :) just PM me!

I know this to be incorrect. I flashed the 2 cm7 files along side Docs rom and it worked as expected. I would say tho until we get the g sensor worked out completely Docs rom is the best one to use at the moment. There are still a few things in the Cm7 rom that make it hard to use(for me anyways) as a daily driver. IE wifi is off after reboot. G sensor it touchy...... Hope this helps. Also zzjoshzz you might try to DL Cm7 and Docs rom again maybe you just got a bad download of one or the other.
