Here's my version of newest cube release.

This is probably less modified than Bouldou's mod but has some advantages (in bold). I've also tested original Visture V2 and it works very well - I haven't noticed any faults.

U9GT2 v1.06 20120214 Mod by wackym:

Download link: https://rapidshare.com/files/1612319326/U9GT2_v1.06_2012_02_14_Mod_by_wackym.zip

- added latest Superuser (ROOT)
- removed Angry Birds, Fruit Ninja, GP Moto, UCBrowser, ApkInstaller, Provision... + libs from those apks
- removed trash left by CUBE developers (Develop.apk...still present)
- added Google Apps (currently) not available from Market
- added Setup Wizzard (for easy language, timezone and google sync account selection on first start)
- added ES Task Manager (easy and free) and File Explorer (because of cifs support without cifs modules)
- added Titanium Backup - extremely helpful and also allows to uninstall apps included in this mod :)
- left RKFileExplorer in the mod because of easy access to sdcard and usb
- changed WI-FI scan interval (from 15) to 120 seconds - should save some battery
- fixed build.prop ro.rk.EXTERNAL_VOLUME, ro.rk.INTERNAL_VOLUME labels
- added ADB drivers
[B]- fixed usb mounting (how CUBE missed that I don't know)[/B]
[B]- increased application flash storage memory to 2GB[/B]

Notes:

- Skype works

- Browser works (no more garbled letters)

- Flash works (slow at times but works)

- USB mounting works

- widget sizes are back to normal

- read/write to SD and USB works

- perhaps Bluetooth works - can anyone confirm this?

Enjoy! :cool:

What are the chances wackym's ROM will work on this guy?

[Miscellaneous Android Development] bouldou:
Hi wackym, thank you for your release, I'm still impressed by your knowledge...

I can't wait to read your tutorial about how to modify the boot.img file, and the kernel in it ;)

In the meantime, because you deserve it, here is a very, very nice tool to modify your firmware directly in Windows ! A chinese guy from Moage forum sent it to me a few days ago

I translated the whole thing : in the root folder, you will find some images who explain how to modify the splash screen which was contained in the previous kernel.img file (sadly, it does not work anymore with the last release :( )

in the kernel folder, just put you .img file, rename it to "update.img" and it will unpack the whole thing without anything else to do ;)

Quite cool, isn't it ?

There are 2 other scripts in the bin folder, like ReplaceBootRes.bat and ReplaceRamdiskRes.bat, but I did not have much time to look at it, maybe you will

Hope you'll have some fun with it ! See you soon

[/QUOTE]

Thanks for the great ROM.

Bluetooth is not working with booth of my no name dongels.

MHL is not working (still not sure if this is possible on the U9GT2)

USB Keyboard works (Germany Layout does not work)

Would it make sense to start the Cube after flashing with WiFi on?

With WiFi off i cant complete the Setup Wizard.

Thanks for your work and time on this Device!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] fyresg:
wackym has done it again!!! :)

Thanks for the hard work! I'm not kidding when I say I refresh your thread daily, anticipating your next release!

May I know which version (release date?) of GAPPS have you installed in your firmware? On http://goo-inside.me/gapps/ there are ICS editions with release dates 1, 7, 12, 13, 15 Feb 2012.

There were times that I couldn't install some of the gapps taken from that site. Not sure if you encounter this too.

Is the spelling auto correction bug / missing dictionary fixed in this release?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] perceptiontwin:
Just downloading wackym's latest release.. wondering if someone could post/link a simple installation guide.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] fyresg:
This might help: http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/23770-cube-u9gt2/page__view__findpost__p__278358
[Miscellaneous Android Development] perceptiontwin:
yes thanks.. download complete now, and those instructions are included in a txt file..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tntt:
which driver i have to install and how? I'm on windows 7 64bit

EDIT: nevermind. found them on visture's website.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] i1fang:
interested if you will prefer to work from Visture V2 firmware or Cube firmware from the future?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bouldou:
Guys... I think you should have a look at that ! ;)

I modded Wackym's last firmware :

- changed all the Google Apps to the LAST release (February 15th)
- added Google Docs (which was missing) last version, optimized for tablets
- added Polaris Office
- changed ES file explorer to File Manager HD (ahah, I like this one ;) )
- removed the ugly 3D Analogic clock
- changed the default background to the nice Galaxy Nexus one

.... So I think we have something definitly cool now ! Thank again to Wackym, who've done the hardest job finding the issue with USB mounting

Check it here !

Can´t get my 64 GB Sandisk card to mount

Hi everyone, first off all I would like to thank wackym´s brilliant job on delivering us the latest mods for Cube U9gt2.

I by the way have a Visture V2 but have been using your mods, but still can´t seem to get my micro Sd card to mount under ICS.. I´ve searched around the forum for answers, and tried solutions I´ve found ( formating in FAT32, doing factory reset with card put in, etc.. nothing worked..) It mounts under Gingerbread 2.3.1. and I´m speaking currently with an official representative from Visture saying the RK won´t be able to mount this type of card, due to it´s capacity.. Is there a workaround this or won´t I be able to use it under ICS?:( Someone in the thread said wackym already solved this problem with the mounting... All the rest in the new mods are working very steady and fast..

Thanks in advance
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Gaspar25:
Don´t mind my previous post, it can be deleted, as I see in the latest wakym´s 1.06 mod the matter I was wondering is solved. Will try this mod and see if it works..

Thanks

EDIT: Nope, can´t either mount the 64 GB card nor Usb transfer after installing the drivers in the 1.06 mod, i´m under Win Xp... tried installing android sdk installing packages, updated the drivers via device manager, turn on USB debugging and conect to Pc... always shows connected as media device ( transfer via win media player )...as for the card tried a 2 GB Sd and it mount... its something to do with the card itself, damm, must find a workaround this thing, as it works under gingerbread 2.3.1...back to gingerbread i guess...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] skifreund:
I use wackym's newest build and it works quiet well but there is one issue. I can't sync calendar entries. In the android calendar app the use account is shown, but there are no calendars listed. Also if you look under Settings->Sync&Accounts there is now sync entry for the calendar.

Second question. I downloaded the Chrome Beta browser but every time i open it there is a red border (3-4mm) around the screen which flashes a few times and then it's gone but the browser is quit slow and ponderous. Has anyone testet the chrome browser and can confirm this issue or is it just me?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] wackym:
Thank you! I've been looking for this!

Thank you for reporting this!

Yes, you need wifi to complete setup wizzard (without skipping it).

Thank you for your support! Gapps are the ones that came from cube. Inner dates are 2012-02-04 and some 2012-02-06. I didn't choose to replace them because they seem quite stable and working. Using apps from goo-inside you have to be very "picky". Because some of the apps provided from cube are specially tweaked for instance Camera.apk and probably browser/html rendering part. Btw, Visture V2 has all apks dated 2012-02-06 :)

I made a private mod of V2's latest release but I didn't release it...if anyone wants it I can release it. These are the improvements I did: increased app space to 2GB, rooted, some useful apps.

I will be paying a close attention to Visture because unlike CUBE they fixed usb mounting issue before releasing the image :)

Yes 32GB is the limit for now...this is AFAIK kernel issue which I cannot fix without kernel sources...

Media transfer protocol (MTP) is "the improvement" of ICS (more like disease of ICS)...I'm trying to get the usb device mode back but I have difficulty recompiling framework-res.apk (http://codewalkerster.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html)...

Does it work if you manually add account inside calendar?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] skifreund:
I tried to ad it manually but it said that this account already exists on this phone. So I deleted all data of the calendar app and tried it again. But the result was the same. The standard/main google account of the phone is under the calendar settings, but not in the main sync settings of android.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ercbul:
Thanks for the new ROM, much better now the messed up character issue is fixed. Thanks for all the time and effort.

I too have my google calendar missing exactly as the last poster however
[Miscellaneous Android Development] taurus11:
thanks wackym, uhm btw can you teach me/us how to increase the application space ?

I have another rk2918 tablet, which have the same problem in apps space.:)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] caltomoto:
V2 Rom Please

Hi Wackym

Firstly thank you for all your hard work. Without people like you we would be stuck with products that just don't do as they were advertised.

Can you please post the visture mod for us?

Also I wanted to ask what the pros and cons are of the V2 rom vs. the new Cube release from you experience using them.

Thanks again!

EDIT: Another question if you can. Do you know if there is the possibility for the cube to ever have micro usb to hdmi function? A few people have been asking this question. If it does it really would be the perfect budget tab.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] fyresg:
It is very likely that the tablet does not have the hardware for HDMI out so having a microUSB to HDMI adapter is useless. Such adapters are for devices that have the hardware support and is designed to share the microUSB port for HDMI as well as conventional USB access.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] farangcm:
I have been using the Chrome Beta browser for a couple of days now, mainly reading Google news. No red border ever. Sometimes it seems slow loading pages and occasionally get a blank page when opening a link in a new tab. Few times haven't been able to scroll down the page right away. About what I would expect for a beta version. Of course, no flash.

Edit: Running on stock Cube U9GT2 tablet Android 4.0.3.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] perceptiontwin:
Firstly great work wackym, this is the first ROM ive installed on my tab, and this missing calendar seems to be the only thing ive noticed that isnt working.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] farangcm:
This link did help me finally get a working adb driver with root privileges.

So now, with the Cube U9GT2 powered off, pressing the volume down key and connecting the USB cable to Windows, I get the Rockchip driver. The tablet stays powered down.

If I power on the tablet then connect the usb cable, I get the "Android Composite ADB Interface" driver, which allows me to run adb as root.

Is this normal, using two different drivers for the same device--one for flashing and one for adb?

I ran SuperOneClick 2.3.3, which said it was successful, but Superuser still does not repond to root requests. It seems I can at least back up system and user apps with "adb pull" and probably even delete some bloatware through adb. A poor man's root? ;-)

I am still running the stock Android 4.0.3 that came with the tablet.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] i1fang:
oh yes pls. After rooting V2, I really prefer it over Cube 1.06.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tntt:
please release it.

only problem i found with the v2 rom is the browser shutting down whenever a download starts.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] djlaksh:
I have a huge doubt..

i'm going to buy the U9GT2, so from reading several posts, I feel the latest stock rom from Visture v2 is better than the one from Cube.

So, can I install the V2 rom on the U9GT2 and then simply root it?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tntt:
I'm using the V2 one from the first post in this topic. Apparently they are all the same hardware wise.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] djlaksh:
So, can you move the apps to the internal flash memory? or it suffers from the same bug as u9gt2 rom in the 1st post?

Also, can you pls tell me about any advantage of the Visture rom over Cube rom?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tntt:
no you cannot. all of them have this issue. it feels smoother i am not sure if its just me though. both roms are not perfect. i actually got a random reboot without even using it 10 minutes ago, it was just sitting there and i saw it rebooting.

what i was trying to say is that no matter which one you get you can interchange roms between them meaning you don't have to worry much about which 'model' you get. from what i've read in forums most people order Cube and get OEM either way (not that it matters really)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] phantomkiwi:
Some questions:

I'm thinking of buying the cube U9GT2...

And was wanting some quick questions answered for the ICS firmware:

1. Does marketplace work? (i.e. install google curents, facebook, twitter etc)

2. Does skype work?

3. Do apps for 3.0 work on 4.0 ok?

4. Is it possible to downgrade if I don't like 4.0 and where do I get the firmware?

5. How stable is the latest firmware version out of 100?

6. How long does the battery last say surfing the web for example?

On a side note I notice wackym is doing a lot of firmware updates maybe he should create a paypal donate link if it helps speed up bug fixing? just an idea.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] fyresg:
Good stuff from Wackym once again!

Consider releasing the patch ("binary diff") of the img instead of releasing the entire ROM. The patch is likely smaller if you had made slight changes.

I've been using 1.06 and I must say it significantly better than the previous one. Great job there!!!

I am having problems updating Google Maps from Market. The built in Maps is version 5.1.0 while the latest on the Market is version 6.3.3. I tried updating directly but I got some errors. So, I removed Maps as well as purging the user data but I got some "incompatible version" error. However, I was able to update the built in YouTube app from 3.3.0 to 3.5.5.

Some suggestions:

1. Keep things simple. Remove Google Maps and YouTube since the market has them and the built in ones will be outdated rather quickly; updating them (inside /system/apps) can be hassle too. Most of us would have backed up these 2 apps and would be able to restore them easily.

2. Remove TitaniumBackup as Someone reported difficulty importing his Pro key. As a result he had to switch to ROM from Visture. I had to manually remove the in-built TitaniumBackup coz I have an alternative.

3. Include a working Android keyboard if the default one could not be fixed. I'm refering to the spelling auto correction problem, likely caused by the omission of the dictionary. I can send you the link to the APK if you need. Though users can fix this easily, I believe a fully operational keyboard is essential.

Thanks for the work!!! :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] farangcm:
I just realized that my stock 4.0.3 Cube doesn't have Google Maps either. I had to find 4.0.3 Gmail and Calendar apps to download and install, but they now work and sync. I just downloaded Google Maps from the Market (They stopped giving the versions it seems, unless the developer includes it with the description. On the web Market, it says the version of Maps will vary with the device.) After installing, I find the version is 6.3.0. It works and even remembered "My Place" from another Android device that has GPS.

All kudos to the developers. I haven't flashed the Cube yet, but not being able to root and finding that apps can't write to the external sdcard, may make it just a matter of time. In fact, I may not have bought the Cube if I hadn't seen these active communities for the device. I just gave up waiting for the Honda..I mean Onda v140.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] caltomoto:
Can you upload the modded v2 firmware. I have no idea how to patch. Others would probably appreciate a rom as well. :-)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Sotneron:
Any other chainfire user whit the "not enough free memory to install drivers"?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Tekkaro:
im waiting as well for the v2 version - thx in advance :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] fyresg:
The official v1.07 firmware is "apparently" released. 51cube.com is inaccessible so I can't verify the firmware release as well as its changelog.

In v1.06, Is the external SD mounted as root writable only? Strange.

Is anybody using google+ on wackym's newest rom? For me it opens then I get a message that it's closing.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] amfa84:
Hi,

first of all thanks wackym for the great work :)

but I have the same problem as skifreund.

I have just installed the V2 Mod and if i look under Sync&account i see my google account and syncing for Browser, Google Photos, Google Mail, Calendar, Contacts and picasa.

I had previously installed wackyms Mod and there i only had Browser, Mail and Contacts. But only Browser synced the other two said they could not sync.

And the others i see in the V2 doesn't even appear in wackym's mod.

So i want to use wackym's mod because the 2 GB App space but if i can't get it to work correctly it's kind of useless :(

so wackym could you have a look at this or maybe release your V2 mod (if i followed this thread correctly you made a V2 Mod with 2 GB app space)

thank you in advanced

amfa
[Miscellaneous Android Development] skifreund:
The calendar sync works if you download the gapps pack manually and replace the calendar.apk in the system/app folder wit the downloaded one. The same with picasa; the rest worked perfectly after flashing the rom.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] amfa84:
Thanks for your answer.

but which gapps pack should i download?

i now tried bouldou's v2 mod from wackym's mod. (which should have the latest gapps already installed).

now the calandar is in sync but Gmail and Contacts and pictures are still not syncing.

and su does not work.. root explorer for example starts and there is no question whether i want to grant su rights.. just the information that the rights were denied.

so i could not change the apps

Maybe i should just go back to the 1.05 mod where everythink just works fine ;)

ok.. i don't not exactly know how but i managed to get gmail, calendar and contacts synced.

only images are not synced yet but thats a minor problem for me :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] shooric:
I am running into the same problem. I am getting:

starting it now on port 5037. daemon started successfully. error: device not found

error from ADB. Even though device does show in Device Manager on Windows 7.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bouldou:
Hi, thank you for using my rom ! My pleasure :) I'm using it every day and everything is syncing without any issue

I will release a new rom, based on Visture V2 in a couple of hours, I think everyone will be happy with it... stay it touch !

---------- Post added at 12:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:22 PM ----------

Hi fyresg,

1. In fact, the whole issue of Gapps comes from the fact that Cube / Rockchip did not apply for the CTS for Android 4 (while they did for Android 2.3 --> there was no issue), so normally we should NOT have ANY google app on the tablet : market, gmail, calendar, youtube... So we have to "hack" the apps to get it working (Wackym knows how to do that, I don't, sadly)

So we can't give the the rom without Maps or Youtube, you could not install it (that's why you have some issue when you update it too)

I'm currently putting a lot of pressure on Rockchip and Cube so as them to pass the CTS, I'll let you know ! :)

2. Ok

3. I fixed it in my version ;)

I'll release a new mod based on Visture V2 in a couple of hours, it's gonna be just fine

See ya !
[Miscellaneous Android Development] capbeing:
Hello guys! First of all... I'd like to thank every developer working to bring ICS to our device! You guys are amazing!

So... some days ago I installed wackym's ROM on my device... All the things worked really well but wifi didn't...

My device isn't the U9GT2 but it is the similar one... It has another wifi module (with bluetooth and everything)...

Since I installed this mod, I can't put wifi working...

I'm trying to find any solution for my problem... Can you guys help me?

FYI: My device is the SCOPAD SP1011 9.7 http[:]//goo[dot]gl/iKxT6 (I can't publish URL yet)

Thank you guys since now!
