First you need to install the drivers

Follow this guide

Installing Rockchip drivers for flashing!

To put your tablet into recovery mode you need to press the volume - button , keep holding it and plug your tablet into your computer, still hold it for a few seconds than let go, now follow the guide above.

After the drivers are installed now put tablet into recovery as above and run the Rk tool , find the firmware IMG file and than select restore. :)

[Miscellaneous Android Development] justclimb:
Reboot ur cube keeping it in the position where you want the screen to stand. Open the quick settings on the botton right and uncheck auto-rotate screen.

There's a thankx botton not by chance ;)

china mobile unknown this item cannot be installed in your devices country

Hi,

I have just got a u9gt2

Android 4.0.3

Firmware v1.10

I cannot download certain apps via the Play store and get the following message:

china mobile unknown this item cannot be installed in your devices country

I've tried logging out of my account, clearing cache but I still get this message. If I flash the firmware to Wakym's v1.08 will this solve this problem or is there another solution?

Thank you
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dmagee:
Yes it does, the firmware that you are one is the Chinese firmware . Wackym firmware is de Chinified and the build prop is altered to an English version so you will get the proper English Playstore :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] amrom:
Thank you that worked a treat.

Auto rotation and camera problems

I have updated my CUBE U9GT2 with wackym v1.08 mod.

There is a problem with auto rotation.... I saw post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=26891311&postcount=765 but I would like to have auto rotation, as I rotate the tablet (for example, in the browser is very useful).

Also, camera doesn't work.

I would appreciate if someone tell me how to fix this.

Thanks in advance!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dmagee:
Try this firmware instead called Evolution, it uses the latest Android 4.0.4 and is very good

http://www.flashmyandroid.com/forum/showthread.php?p=3721

[Release] Evolution | Version: 2.1 | Date: 30/05/12

When you flash make sure you erase idb and select the loader on the flash screen :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] amrom:
Auto rotate and camera

Hi,

I have exactly the same problem as Zebeto. Wackym 1.08 has removed all the Chinese stuff and enabled Google Apps but the camera and auto rotate no longer work.

Can you confirm that the Evolution | Version: 2.1 | Date: 30/05/12 will fix it?

Thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dmagee:
All I can say is it did for me, you will have to try it
[Miscellaneous Android Development] amrom:
Auto rotate and camera

Hi..again,

Sorry if this is a stupid question, I'm new to this and therefore a bit of an idiot:) What do you mean by:

"When you flash make sure you erase idb and select the loader on the flash screen"

Thanks in advance
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dmagee:
When you download the firmware and click on the tool in the firmware folder it will become clearer. When you open the program there is a box at the bottom called erase idb, you need to click that first than you Will see to the right of the program screen it starts the process. After a while that will finish. Now at the top of the program screen there is a box that says loader, it is not selected by default so select it. Now at the bottom of the screen now click run. This will start the flashing process.

I presume that you already have the drivers installed for flashing
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dmagee:
If you have not got drivers follow this guide

http://www.FreakTab.com/showthread.php?t=184

Installing Rockchip drivers for flashing!

to put Cube into recovery/flash mode with your tablet turned off plug your USB cable into tablet. Press the volume - button and hold it, now connect to your pc while still holding the volume - button than after a few seconds let go. You will now be in flash mode. Start the program in the firmware folder. :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Zebeto:
Ok, thank you. Just one more question, every time I flash U9GT2, all data is always removed? maybe this is a stupid question, but I am new at this :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dmagee:
Yes it removes everything , you can back up with programs like app back up and restore or titanium

Scary though it was I followed your instructions and it all worked beautifully :)

Auto rotate and the camera now working.

Thanks again dmagee.

I downloaded and installed evo 2.1. It does run good.

I followed instructions for just updating to leave apps and data alone, it just corrupted the storage so its still lost. I also noticed in the about section it says evolution 2.0 not 2.1?

still cant fix ??

Thanks Wackym , I have only asmall issue or question , I have installed the newest version of your mod v.2 firmware this morning , but have still found I seem to be having issue with some websites , the header section of some articles on websites are coming out as jumbled letters , but then the rest of the articles , etc are correct ? any ideas what is wrong , do you think this is a fixable problem , Cheers for all your good work !!:)

---------- Post added at 11:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:57 AM ----------

I have just noted a good example of what is happening on my Cube is when i am looking at the forum threads , the user names of all persons posting is just jumbled letters , but everything else on page fine ? see pics attached

I still can't work it out ? I have completly reflashed my machine with the very first firmware update from 2.3 and all the way to the last mod of 1.05 and the websites are still coming up with certain text sections with only jumbled letters instead of correct words or text , Can anyone Help :confused: I dont know if I have done something wrong or it is a common fault , is anyone else getting this fault with webpages ? Any advice greatly appreciated ( sorry in advance for upside down image ! I dont know how to edit and turn it right way up )

Yes, I have checked File Expert out. They share the same feature set as those you have stated are also supported by ES. Though the UI looks cool, I'm more used to navigating around ES File Explorer. I guess it's a matter of preference.

May I suggest leaving Google Earth out of the default installation? I am agree it is "cool" but not everyone would find it "useful". Can users who want Google Earth get it from http://goo-inside.me/gapps/ ?

As posted in Slatedroid, I'd like to request for the pre-installation of the missing English dictionaries so English speaking users who prefer the stock keyboard, can use the auto spelling correction function. :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] :
Hi,

Man, you rock - No need for me to do another image for the public then :cool: I noticed that you reverted the change regarding the mountpoints in build.prop and only removed the CR-LF (which are obviously wrong here) - could you please explain what this build.prop settings do exactly? Also noticed that the startup wizard changed slightly - it asks for the timezone now - neat :)

I also used to work with ES File Explorer and saw FE the first time in wackym's image and was really impressed about it. Finally switched :) I can not understand why all File Explorers out there must have an ugly UI... but File Expert really is an exception from this so I prefer to stay with File Expert but I have another general suggestion - see below.

This version of Google Earth is the first one who is working for me (with the exception of having graphics artefacts when borderline layer is enabled in Google Earth - does anybody else also experience this? - see picture) on this tablet ever - so from my point of view: please keep it.

I have another suggestion: Could you please have a look onto Titanium Backup and think about including this one in the next image? With Titanium Backup you are able to manage your applications, move them between the different storage locations, remove and/or hide system Apps, and most importantly perform backups and many more... Most of the advanced options are only available when you buy the key to unlock the full functionality (which is a good invest IMHO), but even the free version is absolutely worth a try. I already using this since a year or so and included it in the image that I built right now using yours as a base for my personal use and it works really fine.

The benefit would be that everyone who do not like any of the built in App has the ability to remove it himself and/or replace Apps with other ones from within a nice UI in order to modfiy it to their own needs and preferences.

Greets,

[Miscellaneous Android Development] wackym:
Hmm, that's odd. Thank's for pointing it out. I'll investigate the issue.

The problem with Google Earth is that it's very tricky to get it working...I'm am still unsure which package(s) are the key to get it working. That's why I included it. But in any case it can still be uninstalled via Titanium Backup or System App Remover.

There's a problem in ICS android...if an application uses textboxes provided by android then the word prediction and suggestions work...but in other apps fi. browser the prediction and suggestions are Off... I'm still investigating why this is happening.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] wackym:
They are used for the names of volumes which are displayed on the PC when you connect the device.

Yes, this is due to updated ICS google apps package. In previous mods I mistakenly relied on the dates of files inside of apks. Now I created a script which extracts the info from apks. So it includes latest apps. See the script bellow.

Yes, this is a fault in google earth <--> vivante. Also if you turn on the roads this is even more apparent.

I agree.

Script for extracting apk version info:

#!/bin/sh

TOOLS=/home/user/dev/u9gt2/tools

# I used aapt from http://www.mediafire.com/?5bi88iq4uigrb1i
# $1 is the folder containing the apks

echo "Apk versions:"
for file in $1/*.apk ; do
echo "$file"
${TOOLS}/aapt d --values badging "$file" | grep "package:"
echo ""
done

For latest google apps I used icygappsv2.zip found at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1404127
[Miscellaneous Android Development] :
Hi,

Ah - thanks.

Guessed that :( Seems that some games also suffer from that problem (there is a video somewhere on YouTube showing ShineRunner on U9GT2 which also shows this). Anyway - Vivante is not really a 1st class graphics engine but thats another story. Hopefully this will be fixed by Google or Cube at some point in time.

Fine - thanks!

[Miscellaneous Android Development] fyresg:
Pre installing Flash might not be a good idea. It's not a necessity. In wackym's v1 firmware, Flash is pre installed but not working. I couldn't remove and reinstall it as suggested to fix the problem. Any clues?

Is the large widget size issue resolved in the v2 release? Does it plague the official release?

The Power Control widget has 4 buttons but only the WiFi and brightness buttons are relevant. Can change one of them to the mute button? And another to be the off/lock button?

Titanium Backup is good but I feel we should not pre install too many apps. Keep it simple and let the user decide the backup manager of their choice. :)

OpenVPN?

Hey wackym,

since you're modding the ICS Build over and over I thought you could know a bit about the kernel. Is there a module in ICS to emulate a network interface, just like a TUN/TAP Driver?

Or doesn't the ICS require a TUN/TAP Driver anymore? Need to get OpenVPN running for using it at the university. At last I'd like to ask, just if you know, why the WLAN-Connection of ICS is more unstable than the WLAN-Connection of Gingerbread.

Greets
[Miscellaneous Android Development] :
Hi,

I absolutely agree to the point that the image should be as streamlined as it can be with a minimum of pre-installed Apps (which is the reason that I would vote for also removing E-Book Reader, Cube Software, Digital Weather Widget).

My idea to suggest TitaniumBackup was to give the majority of users the ability to remove and/or replace Apps with ease out of the box (even without a configured Google Account) which is currently not possible.

Did you try the OpenVPN Installer and the corresponding OpenVPN Settings App (Author: both Friedrich Schäuffelhut) from the market yet? You will need Busybox for it to work and maybe a bit manual configuration... Search for openvpn in the market and share your results here.

Greets,

tabmonkey
[Miscellaneous Android Development] meldamos:
Hey tabmonkey,

yeah I've already installed it. On Gingerbread I got an error, because I did not have a TUN/TAP Driver. On ICS it does not work. I get it to work, but if I want to switch on the tunnel adapter nothing happens. It just stays off and I don't get any response. The tunnel activation though is available. So it's not gray or something.

webpage still showing incorrect with latest f/w

This has been completely confusing re: jumbled up letters in web pages , is anyone else experiencing the jumbled text title blocks or certain fields in website pages not reading correct , Does anyone know how to fix it , it seems to be only certain text fields effected , is it possibly still a flash issue ? I have re-installed Wackym latest V2.version again , but still have same problem occuring , see pic attached, the large text under actors picture should read - JEALOUS CO-STAR STEALS SPOTLIGHT - but instead reads HD OR XVS VWHDO V V ????? also note small grey arrow on next to latest headlines in lower left corner should read - (more news).instead it justs shows O RUH ?? Please someone help me with this its driving me nuts:confused:

I just upgraded to Wackym's mod from 1.04 (which I had reverted to for the past 15 days) - nice job! One question though - I try to connect my USB stick to the OTG port, and it's not recognised. Is there something I should do, as far as settings are concerned? It obviously worked with 1.04, hence my question; looked around the thread but didn't notice any USB mounting problem reports.

I can't say I have experienced anything like this; I am using Opera mobile. Could this be a browser issue? Have you tried other browsers, like Dolphin or Opera?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] fyresg:
I sort of "fixed" the spelling correction problem. All I did was to find and install LatinIMEGoogle.apk, then switch to using it. First, enable it by ticking it under "Keyboard & Input Methods". Its description ("Android keyboard \n English (US)") is exactly like the default keyboard, but this keyboard appears below the default one. Then do something to throw up the keyboard. You should see a tiny keyboard icon on the right of the task bar. Tap it, and choose the second keyboard "English (US) \n Android keyboard".

Similarly, change to the lower option under "Settings" -> "Spelling Correction" -> "Android correction".

Refer to the attached screenshot for details.

It appears that spelling correction for both English (US) and English (UK) work. :)

Get the working ICS keyboard apk here (click View raw file): http://code.google.com/p/ics-nexus-s-4g/source/browse/trunk/system/app/LatinImeGoogle.apk

Hope this helps! (Thanks button, anyone?) Cube or the firmware modders should replace the buggy stock keyboard with a working one. :)

While trying out spelling correction, I used File Expert to open an existing text file. To my surprise, the keyboard panel did not appear in File Expert. I could not get the keyboard so I switched over to ES File Explorer and I could perform the spelling tests.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] wackym:
You don't need to uninstall it first...just reinstall/update it.

It's not resolved. This is something cube introduced in their official version. I think this info is somewhere inside framework-res.jar (someone correct me if I'm wrong).

Perhaps, but unfortunately I don't have access to kernel sources for this tablet...so I can't help you with this issue.

This is because of the new "ditch bad signals" tweak introduced in ICS. In first mod there's an option in advanced wifi settings to turn this tweak off but unfortunately CUBE removed this in their latest release.

Probably not...you have to realize that every FW is custom built for the target device (custom device, ports, GPIO, etc. init) and it's very unlikely it would work.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] wackym:
This is great news! Thanks :) As for other apps it's probably just a matter of finding the right (combination of) build.prop parameters.

(Almost) the same way as boot.img - with rkunpack (see http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=21396350&postcount=58).

This ICS is IMHO still not "user ready". When you connect usb it's (currently) normal it says nothing. It just silently mounts it at /mnt/usb_storage. Start <insert your favorite file manager> and navigate to that path. If your usb is FAT or FAT32 it should work. I've tested it myself. With SD it's the same deal.

That is indeed a great find! Thank you!

He he he, I see that you really dislike File Expert :D Does the spelling and suggestions work also in other apps like Browser or google search?

Yes, I am. I'm looking for a solution. I tried replacing Browser and HTML Viewer.apk with an older version but it didn't help. Was this issue present in my first mod? (I can't remember)

Hi,

Newb here. I successfully flashed Wackym 1.08 but didn't realise it broke the auto rotate. I want to flash Evolution but my problem is that since flashing to Wackym I can't make my PC see the Cube as an RKandroid device so the Evolution flash tool won't work.

I've tried to follow the 'Installing Rockchip drivers' instructions but they don't work, in Device Manager on my 64bit Win 7 it just shows up as MID ro.products.brand=Android or on my wife's 32bit Win 7 it shows up as Cube and is still not detected as RKandroid device.

Any advice on how I can get either RKTools or the Evolution flash tool to recognise the tablet again so I can flash another image?
