That is a known issue with some 1.08 roms. I have it also but I have no problem with the bandwidth. No matter how weak is the signal the connection is stable. Let's hope that in the next mod we'll get a good update.

Cube U9GT2 got different, newer hardware?! New cameras and new touch-screen controler?!

This just complicate things for the developers...

How to write to external microSD card?

Hi all, forgive my noobness with tablets please.

Plugged a 16Gb microSD card into my U9GT2 running Android 4.0.3 as supplied by tablet vendor.

Tablet sees the card, mounts it at /mnt/external_sd, astro displays a LOST.DIR on it. The card behaves as if it's read only. Cannot make new folders or copy files to it.

Please tell me what i missed.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DJNoXD:
You can solve it by adding the write permissions for sd-card to /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml.

Here is described what you have to do.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vinnygun:
I'm a noob and need urgent help!

Hey everybody,

Im a real nube and i just bought a cube u9gt2 tablet. it arrived yesterday and its a bit laggy and i have searched around the xda forums and cant seam to understand how to install the pc drivers for it. every time i hold down volume down and then plug in the usb, the tablet's screen goes to a dead robot and a with its front cover thing with a red exclamation mark sign above it.

please help me!! what does this mean??!! and i also need help trying to install a custom rom.

thanks in advance. i really appreciate it!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tazzles:
Thanks for your help, DJ. Found the file, edited the file as described in the link you posted. However, the save option on the editor is greyed out. So cannot save the edits.

Clearly there is more I must do before editing, no?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DJNoXD:
Is your device rooted?

If not you have to do before.

Edit:

If you try to edit on phone, you have to mount "system" with read/write permissions before (e.g. with ezFileExplorer).

If you try with adb, you also have to remount with read/write by using "adb remount" (maybe you must call "adb root" before).
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vinnygun:
Sorry I don't really understand. My computer won't recognise my device and when I do the steps mentioned in wackym's rom, the above mentioned thing happens. And how do I root my cube? Doesn't wackyms rom come pre rooted anyway?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DJNoXD:
Yes, wackym's rom is rooted.

You have to mount "system" with read/write permission (note every file explorer can do this, e.g. ezFileExplorer has this option) before you can edit the file.

(Default is read only)

Getting your PC / adb recognize the tablet is a bit difficult.

Take a look here and here.

Didn't saw that question.

Its the same way as described in the original update instructions from cube or one of other producers. (e.g. here)

Download compressed file. Decompress. Use update tool.

slow wifi realtek driver android ics

Can someone check what driver is installed for the chip Realtek WiFi RTL8188CUS? Here is the latest version - Android 1.6~2.3 and 4.x	3.3.2_3192	2012/1/9

on Realtek off site.

On the forums about linux seen descriptions of similar problems (slow wifi) and they offered a solution: "you need to install drivers because Linux takes the 8188 generic driver and it does not work properly."
[Miscellaneous Android Development] wnfrd:
> On the forums about linux seen descriptions of similar problems (slow wifi)

The 150mbit wifi is slow because it is connected to the system through the bottleneck of an USB 1.1 host, which is limited to 12 MBit, hence the upper wifi speed limit is ca 1.5MB/s. The rk2918 has two fast USB ports (USB 2.0, 480MBit), too, but those are the external ports.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] zorgeprof:
The sad news for me. :(

Sudden loss of wifi signal, even a short distance is also a hardware problem?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] wnfrd:
Have you tried a different DHCP lease time (not "forever") in the router menu or DHCP with static IPs?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DJNoXD:
Also try using a different channel.

Even if you router searches "the best". Its mostly only the best channel at that moment.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] zorgeprof:
Thank you for your answers. But all these things I've done. The problem is not in the router (tried to D-Link 2640 and Zyxel Keenetic Giga). And other devices normally receive the signal in places where it does not see the Сube (4-7 meters behind a wooden door).
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vinnygun:
do i have to have my device rooted to flash wackym's rom?

i had a look at those guides and did what they say. when i used superoneclick it said my device is now rooted. when i open superuser on my tablet and try and update binaries it says it cant gaint root access. does this mean my device is not rooted?

thanks in advance
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DJNoXD:
No, its a "normal" flash. Equal to flash an official update.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vinnygun:
ok so why does nothing happen now when i follow the steps by wackym?

i used 2.3.3. i think thats a later version than 2.3.1?

i have that installed but where do i get the adb drivers from? the only thing about adb i found was the adb.exe file in the platform-tools directory.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DJNoXD:
Have you installed the correct driver that the rkflashtool recognize your device?

Yes, should be. I just checked the website, not here on xda.

Start the android sdk manager, the last menu point "extras" should contain the driver. (described here and here)

The drivers can be found inside the folder <sdk>\extras\google\usb_driver\
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vinnygun:
i dont know. which one do i need?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DJNoXD:
To flash your device you must disconnect you device from pc, then press volume down and then connect to pc. The display of the tablet will be black all the time.

Now your pc recognize a new device.

The zip file which includes the flash tool and imagefile also includes the driver you will need. This driver has to be installed.

If you have done this, there has to be a rockchip or rk device shown in your windows device manager.

If you start the rkflashtool and it recognize the tablet, the rectange which includes the "1" should be coloured.

(flash manual which includes pictures)

Normaly it should work this way.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vinnygun:
ok i understand. but... when i plug it in, i have to go to device manager and its listed as an unknown device. i right click on it and go update driver software>let me choose>have disk>the i navigate to the win7 x86 driver folder. i try to install the RK29 driver but then it says that "driver is not intended for this platform"

what does this mean?

thanks for all your help.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DJNoXD:
Do you have 32bit windows installed?

Than x86 driver is the right one.

If you use 64bit windows, you have to use the 64bit driver.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vinnygun:
wow thank you so much. i thought that i had to click x86 because the other one is amd64. im running an intel chip so i thought i couldnt use that. but im wrong so thanks so much! im really happy now and very greatful.

Hello, I'm under the ROM Evolution 1.12 (4.0.4) and I wanted to know if it was possible to overclock ?

@DJNoXD : Are you still developing your own kernel ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DJNoXD:
If got my tablet back (was defect), so I will start work again next time.

But I need some time, because next week I'm on vacation and lot work on the job after that.

I would guess you can't overclock with the stock kernel because OC frequencies are no enabled. But you can download nofrills for example and try. With nofrills (or some other tools) you could also change the governor.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Lucio_Uturbia:
Hello, I'm under the ROM Evolution 1.12 (4.0.4) and I wanted to know if it was possible to improve the Wi-Fi to improve navigation and viewing youtube videos. I made the antenna modification and the tablet is better, but the Wi-Fi is still a little slow.

Any suggestions?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sw6lee:
try this youtube app in post #4 of this link: www.slatedroid.com/topic/31198-im-going-insane-because-of-youtube-buffering/

for me, this version of youtube app is the only one that lets my tablet buffer quickly. after downloading the apk, move it to System/Apps using root explorer or similar, then delete the old youtube app, then rename the youtube app you just moved by getting rid of '(1)'.

hopefully it will work better for you!

Any news regarding a bluetooth-enabled kernel? There is now a custom Android 2.3 firmware in the 'firmware hacking corner' for Odys Loox tablets at android-hilfe.de (those tablets use rk2918 as well) which has brought support for USB bluetooth dongles. The firmware name is "system ext4 loox".

Maybe a developer here could pick the blutooth parts out of the source code and mix them with the Android 2.3 kernel sources from Easypix for Cube-compatible tablets (http://www.easypix.info/download/easypad970/open_source.zip)? Or contact a developer over there (fluxflux, Oma7144 et. al) on how to do it?

(PS: link to source code seems to have referrer blocking; paste into browser, don't click).
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sw6lee:
Hey, sorry I don't know why it's not available to download anymore.

Here ya go, try this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/cgpadiv4hi2ewyx/YouTube (1).apk

Hope it works! :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] salem94:
Thank you for your answer. I tried nofrills and I could change the governor and the scheduler. It's better now, thank you again :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Lucio_Uturbia:
Thanks, it works perfect :D

2. If necessary download "RKBatchTool".

3. Extra Driver shouldn't be needed, Win7 will recognize the device -> therefore don't install manually ADB-, or USB-Driver.

4. Charge Tablet to >70%

II. Flash

1. Turn tablet (off) and disconnect every cable and charger.

2. Start on PC "RKBatchTool.exe" and choose under the item "FW Path" an IMG (see I. Preparation).

3. Now press Volume (-) on tablet -> keep pressing and connect at the same time the tablet (upper microUSB port, not OTG) with PC -> as soon as you hear the PC is successfully connected or you see in RKBatchTool under "Connected Devices" a green light, then you can stop pressing Volume (-) and the tablet should be recognized from "RKBatchTool".

4. Click in RKBatchTool "Restore" (not Upgrade) and flashing should start; the first-time boot will last longer than normally - you can close RKBatchTool and disconnect the USB cable as soon as the tablet is booted.

good luck

No one seems to know the answer....

RKBatch tool recognizes my device but it gives me an error. <Layer 2-1-3> Test device fail. I have the cube u9gt2. I dont think my device is going into recovery properly when i hold down the volume down button but it is booting up normaly with the power button. what do....

edit: attached is the screenshot of whats going on. I have tried holding down the button for more than 5 minutes but nothing happens to the device. The device is fully charged and i just got it yesterday. I'm pretty sure i have tried every combination of holding the volume down button and it still wont work....:(
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sw6lee:
maybe the firmware you downloaded is corrupt, or maybe its not 100% downloaded correctly? your device is recognized, so it should work. try redownloading the ROM or maybe another ROM.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tyardley22:
I re-downloaded v1.8...no go. I downloaded v1.7...no go. the image attached is me trying the v1.7.

Now i tried downloading evolution from here

slatedroid.com/topic/26025-cube-u9gt2-android-40-beta-firmware-download/

but i dont know what img to load in the tool. If you could help me out with that that would be awesome. I tried also using the Moage tool but it doesn't seem to work with my windows7.

I did also start downloading Bouldou's ROM but it is taking for-eeee-ver. I'll try it in a couple hours or so. edit: No go on his either.

thanks for your time
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sw6lee:
Your image file after extracting, is about 300mb (except Moage v4.4.0), correct? Then it most likely is completely downloaded, but if it's less, than without even knowing, it might have not been completely downloaded.

And for Moage tool, it's really easy. You open the folder, and double click on the file 'MoageRKTool.'

Then connect your device the same way to the computer (Turn it completely off -> connect one end to the micro-usb port on your Cube (NOT OTG), then press ONLY Volume DOWN button WHILE connecting the other end of the cable to your computer).

In the MoageRKTool program on computer, click on EraseIDB (the right one from the two buttons at the bottom). After finished, CHECK 'Loader' at the top left. Then Click 'RUN' (beside EraseIDB). That's it! Once you try it once, it's super easy lol. Just wait until it's done, and it boots up.

Hope it works this way :)

Which one, v1.8, SOTA, ??

I've been running Wackym's v1.06 and it is rock solid. I want to upgrade, but there's so much to choose from. Wackym's v1.08? SOTA? Recommendations please!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sw6lee:
Bokorez mod 1.09 is pretty nice. It's android 4.0.3 (not 4.0.4), but it performs pretty well and battery life is great. If you want the best performance, you should go for Evolution by Prox32, but as you may know, there is a battery drain problem that some people noticed. Evolution 1.3, which is the next version after 1.2, is coming soon, according th Prox32, so perhaps you'd want to wait for that. I don't know the features of the new release though.. :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] shodanx:
is there any firmware out there that enables bluetooth ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] terry-wille:
AFAIK unfortunatly no...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tyardley22:
I figured it out. It was the driver. Yes it was recognizing my device but for some reason it wasn't working with it. I uninstalled the driver that i had (which said ADB Interface as instructed) went to the actual driver folder within wackym's ROM and installed that driver instead. It actually said then that my device was an RK29 chip or somethin like that. Anyway the tool recognized it and flashed it like normal. Thank you for your recommendations though hopefully this will help someone in the future. :D Now to test firmwares...finally

Crappy sound

Can anything be done about the crappy sound (low volume) coming out of CUBE ? Can the audio be boosted somehow or the only solution is speaker exchange ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bytemuncher:
Yeah, the sound kind of shoots out the bottom/side, instead of coming out the front. If I curve my hand over the speaker to direct the sound toward me it is twice as loud. Maybe diy a little plastic scoopy thing that would re-direct the sound toward the front...but it would look like ass :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Tekkaro:
yes, there are some software options to boost the volume:

look in this guide step 13 - i just tested the old Volume+ version and it worked perfectly

could you tell, which steps you already tried and what is not working with Gameloft games? Maybe i can help, for me e.g. Order & Chaos works pretty well - but i installed those games ~2 months ago

Latest V1.10 FW

Hi all,

New to this forum, but thought I would post my first impressions of my

Cube U9GT 2 that I received today.

Everthing is working okay, f&R camera etc etc.

V1.10 Firmware

Android 4.03

Kernel 3.0.8+ fjp@fae #533

Build V1.10_eng 4.0.3 IML 74K eng.wbx 20120411.112755 test-keys

I used SuperOneClickV2.3.3 and it told me I did not need to Root the device as it was already done.

I downloaded Titanium Backup and all is good.:)

[Miscellaneous Android Development] curioct:
Hi Guys,

I need some help here, I am a very experiences android phone user, I've even dabbled in kernel development, although all my experience is in Samsung Galaxy range phones. (does a tun.ko module exist? could I compile one from sources available anywhere are there cross compilers/suitable sources available? so I can use something like VPNC)

I want a tablet mostly as a work tool, so I want easy connectivity for wireless (b/g/n preferably) possibly rj45 FE as well, I also want to be able to hook up to standard VGA projectors (though sound is unimportant)

3g through a dongle would be a plus but not essential as tethering is an option anyway. I want to be able to run the bria sip app

primarily I will want to perform web based demo's and powerpoint presentations easily so if anyone has experience of using the GT2 with an hdmi to VGA female adapter I'd be grateful to hear about that.

I'd also want to run a partitioned (ext4 preferably) sdcard and link2sd this would be high on the list of requirements anyone any experience of this?

but I also like to fiddle and play so at the very least I would want to run a root solutions giving me full access to files system including the /system folders full read/write (this seems somewhat of a grey area?)

I also note sound problems seem common on the device is this true or simply a perception I have picked up, trawling these threads?

I'd quite like to play with a chroot version of Back|track 5 so if anyone has any knowledge of monitor mode wifi on this device or via USB wifi dongles that would be a big plus.

The other device I have been looking at is the zenithink zt280 c91 so any comparison would also be useful.

Does anyone think this device would suit my needs, or do I have to consider biting the bullet on the more expensive ipads, xooms or galaxy tabs of this world?

Any thoughts or comments would be very welcome please

problem with touchscreen

Hello all!

I`ve got my original Cube U9GT2 on 7 may with firmware 1.09. There is a problem from the first day. The touchscreen is not responding after tablet started. All hard keys work correctly. The touchscreen may start after 10-20 switching on\off. Also it can start after plugging tablet to power adaptor. If the touchscreen started - all works good, on all over the surface. If i don`t work with tablet for 10-20min - i must "manually start the touchscreen" again =(. My seller give me a firmware v.1.10 from Cube, but it didn`t solve the problem. I tried to find the decision by search but have no solution.

Please, can anyone help? What else can i do for solving the problem?

Sounds like you have a loose connector inside your tablet that connects the screen to the tab, or a faulty unit
