Writing a tutorial on this topic as we speak. But it's not done yet.

After careful consideration I decided not to release V2 mod...because you'd be disappointed. V2 did fix the usb mount but they do not include any html speedups and flash works slower.

Instead I made a mod of v1.07 which introduces some very noticable speedups and I also fixed the Calendar sync bug and updated ICS apps to latest "bleeding edge versions" :)

Thank you. I fixed this in v1.07 mod :)

If you hold volume down and insert usb cable the device goes into download mode, hence the rockchip drivers. In normal mode if you have debugging enabled you get the ADB interface...

Some reported success running superoneclick multiple times. Either way I recommend latest v1.07 mod.

Yes, these devices are internally the same. But Cubes FWs are currently superior.

1. Kinda...most of google apps are not available yet. That's due to CUBE not passing the google tests. But you have to bear in mind that ICS development is fairly new and IMHO still needs some time before it's ready for a production version.

2. Yes. Tested it myself.

3. Most of them. Depends on the type of app.

4. Yes. Same way that you can upgrade. You can get all the firmwares here: http://www.51cube.com/tools.asp?page=1 (when it starts working again...)

5. If by stable you mean "not crashing" then 100....if you mean "ready for production and everything is working " then I would say 90.

6. I never emptied it by surfing... 5 hours? perhaps other users can help you with this.

Thank you for the suggestion - I really appreciate the thought :) But it wouldn't help...I do this in my spare time which after deducting time for work, wife, nephews comes down to very little time :)

1. They are not available for me...seems it's a location issue. So I kept them. I've also updated them to the latest version I could find...

2. Done...although I have a pro key and I haven't had any issues so far.

3. I fixed spelling in newest v1.07 mod :)

Make sure you connect the device directly to the PC...no extension cables, no hubs. I've had the same problem with extension cable.

hi guys, going to buy the cube very soon! just a question, i can't find any video of a cube running these mods..are they smoother than the original firmware? I mean, the official release seems a bit laggy, doesn't it?

oh and another question...the line about bluetooth under "bugs" in the description of the mod..what does that mean? The cube doesn't have bluetooth, right? Otherwise this would be great news!

anyway, thanks for all these new release..all this work is damn impressive!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] wackym:
So far the only "lag" improvement (from modding) can be seen in my latest mod. But that's only thanks to the updated ICS apps. In retrospective - CUBE has increased responsiveness in their latest releases.

CUBE has/or is trying to have support for external Bluetooth dongles but it's currently unknown to me on which BT modules it is working or it should work. I added this on the bug list because an user reported it's not working for him.

I've been holding off buying any tablet because of he no-Flash issue on ICS. It would seem that this would be the main priority to resolve. Can anyone explain why this cannot either be resolved or hacked? Are we close????
[Miscellaneous Android Development] true86no:
Hi Wacky, excellent work with the mods. And very timely too. Thank you so much. May I request alternative download links?

Rapidshare just implemented a rubbish system to slow down free users. Max 30kb/s and halts in the stream. 1.07 is eta-ing at over 4 hours at times. Almost unusable imo.

Dropbox would be excellent.

After 3 hours, download was completed. Still recommend/request alternative links.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] fyresg:
I could not find any information on v1.07 from the official download page. The latest official firmware for U9GT2 is v1.06 dated 14 Feb. Also, no threads on the official forum had subjects on v1.07. :confused:

I'll try to grab a copy of wackym's 1.07 and host on BitTorrent. BT might be more accessible than RapidShare.

Update:

I can't seem to download from RapidShare... :(
[Miscellaneous Android Development] true86no:
The first install of 1.07 wackym mod for me - the superuser appears to be broken.

It denies everything without prompting. Apps like Titanium backup was unable to gain access. After google-ing the issue, I tried re-rooting with SuperOneClick, rooting and unrooting works, except that superuser still refuses to cooperate, leaving me no way to restore my apps or gain root access for any apps.

Updating the binary doesn't help, oddly enough Superuser grants access to itself just fine...

Going to try reinstalling again to see if anything changes. Will update.

Updates: 2nd install changes nothing. superuser denies everything - essentially not rooted...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] perceptiontwin:
does 1.07 fix the calendar sync problem??

Also I didn't realise installing this mod in the first place would wipe everything, after semi setting it all up again, I dont want to lose everything again. is there a way to back everything up?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] i1fang:
uploaded another link for U9GT2 v1.07 20120215 Mod

link down due rework from wackym

note, you have to use 7zip.org to unzip.

Mediafire limit is 200MB, so I have to zip it up further with 7zip.

update : wait for wackym rework on 1.07

Please may I (as a 'virgin') to most of this 'technical' jargon seek some 'man in the street' level advice?

I have just received a new CUBE 9GT2 Android 4.0.3 Build V1.05 Kernel 3.0.8 which I was surprised and disappointed to discover does not have Android Market. What do I do? Which of the updates/changes mentioned in these comments do I need and more importantly, how do I proceed to perform the change? I want to be sure that I do not inadvertently ruin the device, make it into a 'brick' seems to be the jargon used. Please could someone 'point me in the right direction'. Thanks in advance.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] MJLONGLEY:
Thank you, but, if/when I access it what do I do with it? download to a PC first, download to a microSD card? Then what?

Unfortunately I am new to all this (I thought that I was buying a fully working Android Tablet!).

I have a Dell Streak 5 running Android 2.2.2, it was 2.1 when I obtained it but Dell issued an update which was virtually an automatic update and required virtually no intervention from me to process. It runs perfectly with no problem. I expected the Cube to be the same, I was certainly not expecting to have to 'get my fingers in the works'!

Could you guys help me?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] wackym:
This is important for all who downloaded my 1.07 mod created on 2012-02-19 (see install.txt if unsure).

You don't need to download 1.07 mod v2. There's a (simple) fix for root issue.

1. Turn on "USB Debugging" in Settings->Developer options

2. Connect the device via appropriate usb cable to PC, directly. Do not use hubs or extension cables!

3. Start up command prompt (cmd) and navigate to adb.exe (provided with mod)

4. Run "adb devices". Adb will start a server and if all is correctly connected and proper adb drivers are installed you will see this:

If you don't see any devices then follow step 5 else skip to step 6.

5. Go to Device Manager and make sure your device got detected and ADB drivers are properly installed. If you see "Android Composite ADB Interface" then there's a problem with connection...try different usb port or different cable. If you see unrecognized CUBE device (with a question mark) then right click on it and select to update drivers then point to drivers in ADB\Drivers folder. Go to step 4.

6. Run "adb remount". This will mount system partition as read&write.

7. Run "adb shell". You will be transferred to android shell on the device:

8. Run "chmod 6755 /system/bin/su"

9. Type "exit" to disconnect. You are rooted. Check with your favorite root permission requesting program. :)

Flash works ok now.

Fixed mod + multiple mirrors: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20872244&postcount=1 :)

I am truly sorry about this...please see post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22758203&postcount=269

Yes, sync is fixed.

You can backup everything with Titanium Backup or similar tool.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] wackym:
As with every appliance you buy there's also a "warning note" with updating firmware. Term "brick" is used for devices which can no longer be updated by the user. This can happen in rare cases fi. device runs out of power immediately after firmware update has started (that's why there's a warning note in install.txt which says you may only update fully recharged devices).

With my every release there's an install.txt file. It contains step by step instructions on what to do. What is left out of those instructions - not explicitly written - is considered as common sense. If after reading those instructions you still have some questions - don't be afraid to ask, I or someone else from the community will be glad to help.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ark2010:
Wackym - Are you British by any chance? Do you know if flash is working for BBC Iplayer yet? Seems to fall out of sync right away which is really annoying.

Once that aspect of the Cube is fixed I will be very happy with it!

conection with phones

Hello Wackym, and congratulations for your work in our cubes :)

My question or request is... already i download and instaled your last mod, and i tested... really good and fast... good job!... but i found something.. i tried the official before your mod and i could conect my iphone network with tablet... but now after install your mod.. coudnt... there are any solution about it?.. could you help?, thanks!

Regards!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] MJLONGLEY:
Thank you very much. I assume that I download first to a PC at which time I will be able to read the instructions in the txt file. One point just crossed my mind, at present the micro-USB on the CUBE does not seem to be recognised at all will that affect/prevent the updating? Do I use your latest update or an earlier one as one person suggested? Does Skype work OK after installing your update? Is it safest to have the CUBE connected to the power/charger throughout? Thanks again, Mike Longley.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] GoldenBadger:
Thanks for the new ROM.

Still downloading.

Speaks anything against depositing new ROMs in Google Docs like Visture does it with their ROMs? Upload and Download should be fast and easy.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bouldou:
Hey guys, just a post to remind you that Wackym is NOT an official Technical Support of Cube :

don't forget that he's only doing that for fun, for free and for our own pleasure of use

There is a lot of other forums where every step of update is explained very well : Slatedroid is the best example.

So please

be brave and READ all the 28 pages of this thread

, and the pages of Slatedroid thread before asking your question

Thank you in advance
[Miscellaneous Android Development] true86no:
Thanks for the quick update Wackym. The Cube is rockin'. Well, as well as can be. :)

Yes! Whoever needs help, please help yourself by going to the correct place:

Remember, this is a thread on wackym's modified firmware - not the tech support for Cube U9GT2, Window N90 or Visture XYZ. Going to the right place would do yourself a great favour. Most of your queries would have been answered there already. You would learn of the "answers" BEFORE you encounter the "questions", if you know what I mean. ;)

Thanks wackym for the fine work and dedication to this device!

SD-Bug

Hello Wackym, thanks alot for your work on making the Cube great!

However in the U9GT2 v1.07 v2 mod, the external-SD bug seems to be back on my device (not possible to write without root).

Can someone confirm this?

Again, thanks for your work.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] fyresg:
I encountered this as well and had consulted him on this over private message. He believes the filesystem on the external_sd might be "dirty" due to an improper dismount prior to removal; or might be caused by a force shutdown while it is being written. You could try to scan it for errors on a PC and try again on your tablet.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sportivo888:
I would like to say Thank You!

Thank you Wackym for the release, I finally upgrade from 2.3.1 to the latest version and I can say it work AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!:cool::cool::cool::eek::eek::eek:

Incorrect MD5?

@wackym:

I downloaded your 1.07 V2 mod from the Mediafire mirror and noticed that the MD5 doesn't match the one in your opening post (c07dcc2014da2bb49300f8dce02f24db). The MD5 i get is 9da12f76932dcefbfd10a3279dbb98c6. 7-zip says my file is fine though.

Thanks for all your efforts in creating this mod for us, I'll install it (over your 1.06 mod) as soon as I get some quality time with my Cube ;-)

Hi, wackym

First, thank you for your great effect for the rom.I have installed your v1.0.7 mod. But i found 2 problems:

1. Googles "Peoples" app cannot be found

2. The gapps like youtube cannot be updated via market, it ask u to unstall the old version first, but there is no way to unstall.

Do u have any ideas?

Alex
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Tekkaro:
I would support that, so that not everyone is enforced to ask wackym about everything

=> own Cube Forum section would make sense - especially because Cube will probably produce more nice devices in the future as well :)

I dont think it will change something, but here we can vote:

maybe there is a different way to get an own forum section?

One question : did someone noticed the a real speedup with the 1.07 version, compared to the 1.06 one ?

I actually did not ahah
[Miscellaneous Android Development] i1fang:
1. have you use it before? Use Titanium to backup from the other device and try to install to U9GT2. I bet you can't, Google have not release it yet for ICS.

2. use Titanium to uninstall and install the latest Youtube. You can't again, the latest Youtube can't work for our U9GT2 version.

Good luck. Most of us need to do the magic google search before ask. And I wish no frame war here.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] satfly:
Nope, it's not from the IMG file. Good thought though. :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] timothy918:

Yes, if have installed it.

Visture v2 and the Easypad 970 firmware are my favourit stock roms.

Very less useless software (only Video Studio) is installed.

Because Rockchip is developing the main part of the firmware, the bugs are the same.

Hi, could someone confirm that Skype is working including video calls on latest mod version wackym 1.07 or any other mod, please? Thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sw6lee:
Laggy..

Hi, I installed v1.07 on my Window N90, the Cube clone. However, the home screen is pretty laggy. Definitely not as smooth as even the Android 4.0.1 video from ColonelZap. I don't know what is wrong. ADW Launcher EX is laggy too. Go launcher EX is not working well in landscape mode. Nova launcher is laggy as well. It seems like the launchers are laggy because of the whole system.

Any Idea??

Thanks a lot!

gapps problem on wi-fi

I installed wackym's 1.07 v2 mod yesterday morning. Everything worked great. Downloaded all the apps I use from the market and the amazon market.

Last night and today I get no connection when I try to use the gmail app, the market app and the youtube app.

All the other programs (stock browser, seesmic, tweetcaster, zedge) I use to access the internet work fine. I have none of these problems on my laptop.

My router is a netgear wgr614. I'm getting good reception on my U9GT2.

Is this a rom problem? Thanks for any help.

Just used my T-mobile Sensation as a mobile hotspot and my U9GT2 has no problem with the gapps I mentioned above.

Try this:

soft step:

"delete cache" from GMail, Market, Youtube then restart

if this doesnt work then:

hard step:

"delete cache" and "clear data" from GMail, Market, Youtube, Google Framework and reboot twice

good luck :)
