No boot

Hi !

I have downloaded the "U9GT2 4.03 20120111 v1.05 Mod v2 by wackym", extract, read the install.txt, my U9GT2 was charged (and plugged on the charger, is there the reason of my problem?)

I've turned off U9GT2, then I've started RKBatchTool.exe and next I'vepressed and hold "Volume Down" button and connect to PC via USB cable, all as asked in the install.txt.

Next, nothing happens!!!

No driver prompt, no green square, and I cannot power on my U9GT2 !!!

What can I do? Is there a hard reset procedure or CTRL-ALT-DEL combination like ???

Please help me !

Hi,

Maybe.

Maybe not.

Keeping in Sync with time implemented in hardware is always PITA. I wouldn´t put too much research into it on a China tablet for about ~200. Have a look for ClockSync in the market.

Greets,

Cube changed something in their last release...I've had same problems using another Camera.apk so I just included the Camera.apk provided from cube.

Charger might be problematic because U9GT2 has some grounding issues as far as I can see...in any case you can turn off the device by holding the power button for 10 s or more...I'm unsure about the amount of time but you will see the black screen go completely dark when it's off.

I'm glad it does :)

Speaking of PITA - you should see screen init :D Time sync seems like child's play compared to that :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ainidmor:
Are all you telling me that your clock dont work... (like mine)... during stand by (and during power off)??? it is not a problem of MY device?

I know the app clock sync but not fix the problem for me in this case. this tablet is not 3g capable, and is impossible a continuous wifi connection...

what i can not understand is that a "high-tech" device, even Chinese and cheap, can not run a simple clock... a SIMPLE clock!

250€ is "cheap" for a device that can not run a clock??? and i have to resign?

thanks for the answers and the information...

Regards.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] fyresg:
Did you ensure that you plug to the correct USB port of the tablet? There're two of them. If one doesn't work, try the other!

Try another cable? Try on another PC? Someone also had the same problem as you here.

---------- Post added at 10:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:36 AM ----------

I can't comment on yours but on mine, the clock does not stop or slow down whenever it goes into standby or shuts down. I tried 1.03, 1.04 and then 4.0.1 and now 4.0.3, the clock is always on time. I don't think it was automatically synced from the network as I do not enable WiFi constantly. I also shutdown my tablet everyday.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ainidmor:
Many thanks. Now I Know that mine is defective...!!!

Now we can see how the seller responds! (industrial vovin in my case).

Hello To all,

i have a cube u9GT2 with last Cube 1.05 rom rooted. I'm trying to connect a 3G USB dongle with a prepaid card.

My problem is, sticks are detected and installed without problems but there's no data connection due connection type needs the dial of *99# but there's no number option on the APN settings.

Do you know if I need to switch any apk as phone.apk or something like that, or maybe i need an app to dial up the number?

Somebody can help me?

pd: Autorun and pin are disabled on both dongles, i've tried a ZTE K3565Z and a ZTE MF190

Thanks in advance.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] bouldou:
Okay but how can I know the offset ? Do you have a method to find it ? I cannot find any header like "PNG" or "RLE" in this file. Is there a documentation of this binary format ?

Thank you.

Very dark videos in ICS

The videos look darker with ICS (oficcial and mods), I have tried several players, but those internal codecs are out of sync audio and video, image 2.3.1 gingerbread was much better. Someone else has seen and solved? Thanks.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] wackym:
I don't have any experience with 3G dongles...Have you tried any dialer replacements from market?

I don't know. Does it work on other ICS tablets?

Linux uses special format for kernel images - clut ppm 224. At kernel compile time the image gets converted to logo_something_clut224.c. Here's an example: http://buildd.emdebian.org/~zumbi/e...x-2.6/drivers/video/logo/logo_linux_clut224.c

Each logo has a something_clut variable describing the image and something_data[] containing actual data... in kernel from cube you can find variables logo_RKlogo_clut and logo_RKlogo_data. After them is the data you want to replace.

I also found another thing that might work - disabling the logo:

- you can try adding logo.nologo to CMDLINE in parameter script (if it doesn't work try glogo.nologo)

- in boot.img -> init.rc there's a parameter ANDROID_BOOTLOGO 1 ...you could try changing that to 0

Hope this helps! :)

I've noticed this. As a workaround you could try VPlayer and set the brightness you desire. It also has some smoothing options which help a bit.

> The videos look darker with ICS

Just darker (ie. lack of brighntness) or are blacks blacker and whites whiter (ie. more contrast)?

I have noticed that many Flash videos look a bit dull and lack contrast under Android 2.3. This apparently is caused by the fact that the deepest black in the video image is not the deepest black that the tablet can display. The borders of 16:9 videos appear blacker than the blackest black in the video. On the PC, the same Flash videos appear to have higher contrast, so I suspect that this issue is not caused by the content (however, it is difficult to judge for me because I currently use a CRT which renders most dark grays as black). I once had a black level problem with my PC/projector setup. It was caused by the existance of different standards for the luminance component: PC drivers can optionally handle luminance values from 0-255, but in a video signals and video data, only values from 16 - 235 are used (while games may use 0 - 255). If a video with 16-235-luminance levels is played with a driver which supports 0-255, the video will look flat because it contains no brightness below 16, which, for the 0-255-driver, is dark gray and not black. So black is lacking, as is pure white. Some Flash videos on my table videos on my tablet look as if they had this type of problem. Could this be a bug? In Android, in Flash 10.x, in the firmware/kernel or the video driver?

On a related note, can one change the gamma curve of the Android screen, as in Windows video drivers?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] phati:
The v2 seems faster.

Doing some more testing but off the bat Skype still crashing on video calls. Face lock still not working...

hi, everybody

wackym, thanx for the mod!

[Miscellaneous Android Development] lynxcn:
Hi wackym,

I have a Teclast A10 Tablet which powered by the same RK2918 solution. After I upgrade the device from 4.0.1 preview release to 4.0.3 preview release, ADB does not work any more. Since your mod addressed this issue (in CUTE U9GT2 ROM), i am wondering how can you make this?

Here's the details: When the device was running 4.0.1 preview release or official release (based on Android 2.3.1), it's ADB interface represent itself as HTC Dream so I can easily use the Google's usb driver in ADB platform tools to make it work. When the device was upgraded to 4.0.3, it's ADB interface presented VID_2207&PID_0006, which can not be matched by any driver. I manually insert a line in the inf file to make the Google usb driver to match VID_2207&PID_0006. The driver can be successfully installed and it shows a proper status in windows device manager, but adb failed to find the device.

My desktop is Windows XP SP3. And I have all ADB tools and drivers up to day.

Could you please share the experience making ADB work in CUTE ROM? Thank you very much!

BTW, I'm in China so the access to www_multiupload_com is restricted... :mad:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] wnfrd:
Here is a test case for the Flash rendering issue I have. Download this 15 second flash test video: tinyurl.com/7w5jop4. Watch for the lion's background. It should be pure black (it is on Windows, if played with VLC, and it is on Android, if played with MX Player). However, if played with Android 2.3.1's Flash 10, the background is dark grey rather than black (photo: imageshack.us/photo/my-images/832/cameraxm.jpg).

I don't know if it makes any difference that MX uses a software codec. It refuses to use the hardware codec but that may be because I only have a truncated file. Anyway, VLC reports the file format to be "H264 - MPEG-4 AVC (part 10) (avc1)". At this point, I'm not sure if it is a Flash issue, a firmware/driver issue or a chip issue. I believe H.264 uses the YUV color space, so it could be a YUV black level interpretation error (0-255 vs. 16-253).

Hi Wackym

Since megaupload has been closed cannot download your file anymore . Can you post somewhere else or post as torrent link.

thanks mate
[Miscellaneous Android Development] fyresg:
I created the torrent (and attached to this reply) and I'm seeding it now. Good stuff deserves to be shared and propagated.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bouldou:
Thank you so much for that ! that's really kind, I'll try it as soon as possible

Did you have a look at the wrong characters issue ? It's so strange... Doesn't it come from the Fonts of Android ? Maybe there's some missing fonts ?

Thank you !

Sceen resolution

I’ve used this app LCD Resolution (Root) to get a higher resolution display on my u9gt2.

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.wemobs.android.lcdresolution&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS53ZW1vYnMuYW5kcm9pZC5sY2RyZXNvbHV0aW9uIl0.

Note : make sure you do a backup of your unit as some of the setting when I was testing result in the launcher failing to start after a restart. I then has to reset the it to get back up and running.

You may have to restart the unit manually to get it to apple the new screen res.

I all seem to run ok and look a load better with more room for widgets and icons.

Do it at your own risk!!!!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] fyresg:
You can change the screen density by modifying /system/build.prop and change the value accordingly

ro.sf.lcd_density = 240
[Miscellaneous Android Development] retruekano:
Is it dangerous for the tablet to change the screen density?

Which are the security margens to change it? Problems with applications?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] fyresg:
Some apps might look weird on your tablet. Also, some apps might not appear in Android Market. There shouldn't be anything seriously bad with this modification. You could always revert it if things go wrong.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] wackym:
Hi lynxcn! Then your only problem is a proper ADB.exe. The only one that worked for me is the one supplied with SuperOneClick (shortfuse.org). I've uploaded ADB + drivers to 115.com for you. If it doesn't work, let me know...

Link: http://115.com/file/e7zrddgc#

Thank you very much for your generous help! :)

You mean the weird html render of the Browser? To be honest I didn't have time to look into it... but I think this is a problem from using unstable ICS apks...

I found this: http://androtransfer.com/AndroidUser00110001/gapps/ Latest builds of ICS apks. It might be worth looking into if you have spare time...

I'm currently very occupied with work and family...and it's leaving me with very little time for mods :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] lynxcn:
Surprisingly it's definitely the problem of ADB.exe. The one and the only one works is the one in your package.

Thank you very much!

The version of ADB.exe in your package is 1.0.26. It's weird that I have another 1.0.26 in my PC but it failed to detect the tablet like those of any other versions.

Anyway, thank you!

Cube U9GT2 WIFI issue (running ICS 4.0.3)

Hi all,

Firstly thank you very much for all your helpful bits of information. I got my Cube earlier in the week and been playing around with it. Found Gingerbread to be a little laggy and the unlock screen playing up. Upgraded to ICS (thank you very much wackym :D ) and the tablet is fantastic in terms of its performance now.

It's very slick and acts like how I expect it to.

There is, however, one key problem that I have encountered both in Gingerbread and ICS so far and its to do with internet surfing and I would really appreciate some help or advise on this if someone could take them time to reply.

The tablet does not seem to connect properly to the internet and the browser is sluggish at best if it loads a page. This is also true of the Marketplace as this does not seem to be communicating with the main server properly. I try logging in to it and it just keeps on trying and trying to sign in but never accomplishes it. I think these two things are related.

Now I have tried on my home network but I am currently running a bit of an odd set up until my new WIFI router is delivered. The WIFI router I have is very intermittent in its PPP connection so I have used this as a bridge for a very stable, but wired router. This works for my phone (HTC InS) for surfing but not for a few other things. I have had some success previously using the 3G on my phone and using it as a WIFI hotspot but now it appears this no longer works either. Has anyone encountered some WIFI issues with the cube U9GT2? The tablet is so good and smart it would be a shame to have to send it back...

one other thing - I think I have found this out already - it seems to be impossible to charge the tablet from USB which is a bit of surprise. Can someone confirm this for me?

I have some technical knowledge but not amazing so apologies if I come back with a need for llittle more of a break down.

Thanks in advance,

Noah (ark2010)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] retruekano:
My tablet will arrive next monday, but I have read in other forums that you need to use the charger. It doesn't charge through USB ports.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ark2010:
Many thanks retruekanu - that's what i thought as well. Little annoyed at myself not noticing that on the other forums before the tablet arrived. Still the battery life is atleast better than my phone so I'm happy!

Hope you enjoy the tablet. I would definitely advise getting Wackym's 4.0.3 firmware. Where did you order it out of interest?

Minor update - the tablet now likes my phone again so I can gain access to the internet that way for it - not great but it's something.

Which loader would people recommend using?

(how do you give people rep on here? do you need to have a certain amount of posts?)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] u669983:
Hi Wackym

Have tried your mod. Its great. The tablet is much nicer. However now getting a number of issues with incompatible apps. Cannot download them from market. One example is Viber but there are many others . Also Appslib which worked with the original 4.0 release does not work now.

Also an issue with Skype - video chat does not work anymore. Worked fine under Gingerbread.

Any Idea?

Cheers and well done again

Wifi saying on when in sleep mode

I’m shore the Wi-Fi stays on the unit is in a sleep mode which in turn drains the battery.

The reason i think the Wi-Fi is on in the sleep mode is 1. The battery drains quicker than when I turn the WI-FI off manually. 2. When I turn the unit on the Wi-Fi is on and ready to use then not lag e.g. reconnecting?

Is there fix’s for this?

O and I have made shore in the setting that the Wi-Fi is set to turn off when in sleep mode.

Thanks

wifi in sleep mode

Not sure this is a problem with the ROM as such. I had the same problem - I think it was either Skype or Fring calling for wifi even in sleep mode. Once I uninstalled both of these the battery life went back to normal. Check you have no background running apps which might be doing this

Hello

i have installed the latest mod from wackym on my Cube and have to say nearly everything works fine !

No Hangup - no reset - realy good !

The only problem:

When the Tablet goes to sleep mode - sometimes it lost all WLAN Connections - only display "No Internet Connection".

Then i have to switch WLAN OFF/ON - then after 5sec. everything is ok again.

I have read some Comments about WLAN Problems with this Chipset - but only "slow down" or short hangups - no complete Lost.

Is there a Workaround for this problem ?

This is realy bad...

Cheers fellas

I just wanted to say a big thanks to everyone who has been contributing on this forum - it's been a great help to me (thanks buttons have been clicked).

I got my U9GT2 about a week ago and just upgraded the software on it (Tabmonkey's pre-rooted version with all the superfluous crap removed) and I have to say - for $260 I am very happy with this investment.

I do have an issue where I cannot access the device on my computer (it's not the port / cable as it updated so it must be the driver and I'll keep playing with that) but I use a 16gb card anyhow so I'll suck it up for now.

That's the good thing about a rooted phone. Do a Nandroid backup of your existing ROM, and give it a try. We all have different tastes and preferences.

CM9 is also round the corner.
[HTC Desire S] tpbklake:
Only you can answer that question as snappy is one of those perception issues like battery life. As the previous poster suggested, do a nandroid backup of your current stock ROM setup and start flashing. If you don't like it restore your nandroid backup and you will be back in business.
