Hi everybody,

I've heard that for some users of custom ICS mods for Cube couldn't start

GLBenchmark 2.1. When you try to run tests it say. Chainfire Detected, please remove chainfire. I'm curious, why should chinese manufacturers include chainfire? Or may be it is glitches of some incorrect GC800 ICS drivers?

Does GLBenchmark runs on any of ICS firmware on cube or other RK2918 tablet?

Mine also drops very quickly after it hits about 40%. However, I can get about 6 hours from the device before it hits that. I've found that it drains quickly from 100% to 90%, then it's slow and steady from 90% down to about 40%. Then it drops very quickly (maybe 30 minutes or less).

I've seen the same thing in other Chinese tablets too, including a 7" device with a 5V battery. I think they just make cheap batteries that don't discharge at a steady rate.

However....I did find that it does not drain as quickly when in standby after upgrading from 2.3 to 4.0. It used to be almost dead by morning if I forgot to plug it in at night, but now it only drains about 15%. I'm back to using the official Visture firmware of 4.0.3. I've used wackym's firmware too, but didn't test the battery.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dmagee:
Mine is the same when it gets to about 30 percent it drops rapid down to zero. I have fully charged it now and I am on Wackym 1.08 so I will see what I get from a full charge. I wish the tablet had a light when it is charging that is a bit daft. How you suppose to know when it is charged? The cheap charger has a green light and that is about it. My daughter has an Arnova and that has a light that turns green when charged. What a pain!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jvinga1:
My guess is that the OS is just reading the voltage that the battery is giving to the main board and that these batteries don't drain at a constant rate. I could be wrong, but I doubt that firmware will be able to address that. The fast discharge while in standby was probably firmware-related though most likely by not really going into full standby mode.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dmagee:
Is there an actual option to put the tablet in sleep mode or is it just power off from pressing the power button?

iPhone hotspot

I'm having difficulties with the WiFi connection to my iPhone 4 "personal hotspot" over 3G.

It connects to my iPhone hotspot, but there is almost no activity, and if there is than the bandwidth is very sluggish.

This was the case with all the past and present ICS 4.0 firmwares 1.04, 1.06, 1.07, 1.08

Do you guys have the same experience, or is it just mine?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dmagee:

[Miscellaneous Android Development] jdcesari:
I use it. Just have problem with internal memory.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Soul7777:
My battery also behave similarly. However, it goes down very slowly from 100 to 50%. It takes like 3 days of occasional uses to drop from 100% to 50%.

But then, it takes only about 1hr to drop to 30%, then within the next few minutes, it goes down to 0.

---------- Post added at 02:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:07 PM ----------

I tried the new 1.08. It doesn't have the auto-rotate issue anymore.

However, I'm still having problem with my home wifi. Out of sudden, it'll just auto disappear. but re-appear within the next seconds. The problem is, I can't download big file, as it'll always get interrupted.

The problem doesn't happened with the 2.3x (1.05) firmware.

But again, My office wifi doesn't have the issue. So, the problem is only specific to my home wifi and the 4.0.3 firmware.

Is there anyway to get to the kernel log or something? So I can see what happened when the wifi just disappear?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Drakotaki:
battery problem

Thanks for the answers to everybody!

It seems that my tablet not faulty then. I looked again and it drops very slowly to 40-35% in 6-7 hours and then 0.5-1 hours to 15% and then 5 min. to empty.

I thought the operation system is learning the discharge curve and adopt the signal of batt. percentage to it and it's called battery calibration. It's not the case then. :confused:

Maybe the discharged voltage value (and the curve somehow) is fixed in the firmware and it's not precise. Once I had ~17% battery while I was playing with Angry Birds and it didn't even have the time to shut down itself. The screen just went dark. :p

If somebody has a solution for a correct batt. percentage fill us up!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tkf:
i had same problem, but because of wi-fi router firmware. If device copies files fastly it just drops the connection. After updating the firmware error vanished. So may be if you has error only on one router than may be this is the issue.

Also you could try changing wi-fi channel on home router.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dmagee:
I think battery remaining percentages are subjective as it all depends what you doing at the time if browsing not that much CPU and gaming a lot. 6 to 7 hours is good

Contacts.apk is installed but symbol missing

I did use/install stock Cube installation that came with the device, v1.08 from Cube and now Wackyms v1.08. Thanks for this great Mod.

However, what puzzles me since I received this device: There's no Contacts/Peoples symbol anywhere.

I can see the Contacts.apk in the system/app folder and it has correct permissions. I can see that the APK has been installed in "/data/..." but the icon is still missing.

The ContactsProvider is working perfect. I can see the SQLite database does contain all my synced contacts. But I would like the stock Android Contacts app to maintain my contacts (no third-party app, please).

I tried several different Contacts.apk from the web, mostly ending in a wrong signature during installation.

How can I get the symbol back?

Any help is highly appreciated.

Regards

HJW
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dmagee:
Install Anycut from the market this will install shortcuts to most system settings etc. You need to just keep trying the shortcut that works as it has multiple shortcuts for some items. You will see what I mean when you install it :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] hawikoeln:
Yes!

Anycut did the trick. The contact symbol is back again. The symbol is not in regular size (it's noticable smaller) but it's there.

Thanks you very much.

Installed WackyM 1.08 on my N90 and seems some things are bugged:

5.4gb internal drive now shows 1.97Gb

When i try to explore interenal hd it says 'sdcard is unmounted' and cant access it

cant take pictures with camera anymore says "first install sd card"

how can you solve this? with a mod based on original n90?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dmagee:
The 1.97gb is the space set aside for app storage. Use android system info from the market this shows up system info better. Can't speak for the sd card though
[Miscellaneous Android Development] thalekick:
I tried different roms, stock roms and mods on my N90 (visture V2, UB9gt2)

al others i can install but the touchscreen doesnt work at all...

i tried to reload stockrom, lol, touchscreen doesnt work

so im stuck at wackyM 1.08 for now

I used several fw on my N90 tablet:

Wackym 1.08: pro: working market, 2048 app storage, working calendar sync con: internal ''sd" mem and sd (external)mem doesnt work

Last stock fw: pro: internal mem works con: market does nothing, no calendar sync, no sd (external) pro: internal mem works.

With the new Wackym 1.08 V1 mod, the GTalk video/audio chat is working well, only thing is the picture on the other side is purple. :p

With Skype the camera is zoomed in and there is a strange bar at the lower part of the screen, otherwise OK.

I'm guessing here that ca in caton means stuck while ton means stop. So I suppose caton means the jerky stuttering videos.

Blutooth in ICS firmware?

Is there any chance of getting support for bluetooth sticks in the modded firmware? ICS kernel source code is available for easypix's variant of the Cube U9GT2 at http://www.easypix.info/download/easypad970/open_source_android4.zip (16/Mar/2012), in case that helps.

Xda, I have a problem.

Hello, it's a while since I've been following this interesting forum because I have this tablet. I have a serious problem. I mounted three times the rom v1.08 and I've never had problems. Last night I even installed the rom because I had a problem with the boot that would not start. I loaded the rom with the usual procedure and everything went well. The tablet comes with the mask written in Chinese colors and the Internet address and stop them. Do not go further. If I power down and power back up the same, the mask comes with written Chinese colors and the Internet address but does not go ahead. What can I do. thanks:(:(
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dmagee:
Try to re flash the Rom but use the restore option on the flashing tool instead of upgrade.

wifi seems to work slighly more stable, but didnt notice any improvement in speeds

on the other hand i noticed that i cant get my cpu speed past 1ghz, for some reason and sometimes startup takes longer.

But overall im happy, seems i needed a rom based on march 22 original one to make it work more efficiently

RK29 modding tutorial by wackym

hi wackym, I have a question about modding, when I enter the command

This means that everything is done right, but when I enter

help plz.

PS. Sorry my english)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tkf:
I'm not wackym, but i have accounted the same error, there are different shells available in linux, bash and sh are some of them, sh doesn't support functions, but sometimes on systems sh is just a symlink to bash, so then wackym has wrote #!/bin/sh on his system it works. But more right will be to modify it to #!/bin/bash , check the scripts (there are 3-5 that have this error, and adjust paths according your system).

3c97? Is it a CUBE

Hi ppl

Apologise in advance if this is wrong place to ask.

My CUBE was stolen last week :mad::( I bought another tablet thinking it was a CUBE bu the model name appears as 3C97 and it looks slightly different ie has extra port for HDMI, the volume buttons at the other end and the speaker is at the back.

Although the speed is good ie auto rotate etc is instant, the screen keeps flickering now and again and googleplay keeps force closing and only 1GB for apps.

Does anyone know if I can flash wackyms firmware on this tablet? If you need more details on the tablet to be able to help pls let me know and ill try and find out.

Thanks in advance

Iqram

Thanks for the tip on kernel! I successfully recompiled it and tested cifs module.

I'm currently struggling to compile the BT support...try these modules:

http://www.mediafire.com/?7yv9833v9n87kat

You'll probably need to "cherry pick" them...

This is wishful thinking :) That's all I can say... I sincerely hope that M$ doesn't make the same mistake that google did - use virtualized software for UI.

Well, I thought I fixed it...I'll try to do better...

Try these modules: http://www.mediafire.com/?ek31sgyd4j99q1r

You can load these modules via "insmod" command (from adb shell) or with Mount Manager (or similar) app from market.

You could try the insulation trick...to prevent charger tip touching the housing...for me this got fixed by itself with 1.07 mod...but I don't know why.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For all who wish to have CIFS (SMB/Windows share) support:

http://www.mediafire.com/?7iv3auqdzs6da9r

You can load modules with Mount Manager... I will also add autoloading of these modules in my next mod.

If source code could be a help in making better roms, could you PLEASE look into faster recent app button? It should be instant in ics, but with current roms, multitasking is such a pain, because opening recent app list takes about 3 seconds to show all 15 apps. That's REALLY slow, compared to that of a fully working ICS on any device.

Thanks!

v1.09 firmware

New v1.09 official firmware is out and it's fast. Received the Cube with v1.07 which had major issues with the UI being slow and showing lag on pretty much any movement. v1.09 fixed all of this for me. Scrolling is super smooth, recent apps menu pops up instantly, etc.

BUT v1.09 has it's share of problems:

It's missing Google applications like Youtube and Calendar (and Calendar Sync).

English dictionaries seem to be near empty (90% of the words I type are unknown).

It also comes with a few Chinese-centric apps, which I don't care for.

Auto brightness setting does not seem to do anything (I don't see the screen auto adjusting).

USB file transfers freeze when screen goes blank. Super annoying. Once you "wake up" the tablet, transfer continues.

USB file transfers are also slow. Not USB 2.0 speeds, but not as bad as 1.0 either.

Not sure if this is out of the ordinary, but the battery drain was huge - had about 2-3 hours on full battery while testing out different apps, downloading apps, playing some video, etc. But it could be because the brightness was set to ~85-90%?

I'm really hoping for a custom ROM based on v1.09 with the above problems fixed. What do you say, wackym? Please, pretty please? :)

Also, what option should I use in RKBatchTool when changing ROMs based on the same firmware version? Is it still "upgrade"?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ColonelZap:
I second that :) And maybe include an ICS Youtube app? Thanks :)

Hi,

I prepared a pre-rooted Image U9GT2_v4.03_20120110_mod-root.img which is available here:

Download link: www[dot]multiupload[dot]com/0QPVOH7LCF

MD5 (U9GT2_v4.03_20120110_mod-root.img) = f5da11dff1d236de5f7f6c5814d6aac8

I only added Superuser-3.0.7-efghi as wackym explained on page one, everything else is left unmodified as it was created by Cube. Only Plain Image bz2 compressed. Feel free to cross-post on the other threads at Slatedroid or wherever...

I know that there is a SuperOneClick floating around who may can root this one (not checked) but I am going to play around with a modified image anyway in the near future, therefore I am presenting this to you :cool: but do not expect daily updates from me, really busy ATM.

A real big THANK YOU goes to wackym - please keep up the good work on this! Your Image based on the leaked FW was pretty amazing - would greatly appreciate to see this one based on the current production FW.

Hi,

prepared another one which is basically the same as the one that I uploaded yesterday but additionally I removed unneeded (at least for me) stuff. Grab it from:

Fri Jan 13 06:31:37 CET 2012 U9GT2_v4.03_20120110_mod-root_v01.img:

- added Superuser-3.0.7-efghi (/bin/su /app/Superuser.apk)
permissions set to 6755, owner set to root:2000 for /bin/su
removed /xbin/su
- removed Fruit Ninja (/lib/libfruitninja.so /app/21.5.2.apk)
- removed Fishing Joy (/lib/libcocos2d.so /lib/libcocosdenshion.so /lib/libgame.so /app/bydr.apk)

- removed UCLAQ Browser HD (/app/UCLAQ.apk)
- removed Gfan Cube Software (/app/Gfan.cube.0.7.1.TY.apk)

Greets,

tabmonkey

P.S.: I just realized that the ownership of /bin/su is not optimal. There should be no problem with the current ones and you most probably will not fail but nevertheless I will change them to satisfy all Apps in the next image (clever ones can change them accordingly anyway...).
