Next3 would find the update.img, tell you wrong img and offer to delete it for you. So you would end up looking for way to flash img, never thought to use update.img again. We have a lot of Next3 and Next2 (rk2808) users here, only forum that supports them

[Miscellaneous Android Development] stevemp:
Android is very different than Linux. System and kernel images are compiled to match the hardware, just switching out the kernel breaks things. Best match hardware for Next3 is Prestigio PMP3084B, then BQ Darwin, and Arnova 84. Use the whole package for best results. I use QtADB and watch logcat while booting to try and understand android boot sequence, it is a lot to learn.

I use both tools rkbatch and rktool, when I modify step by step. If you have a faster fun_method, please give us the description. Linux and/or windows. I try to learn it in linux over the vmware player, too.

I never used the flashing over the sdcard.

This is the real stuff for heart_crafter for shure. He is still searching for the finest way to brick his device.:D

What is sent from doubleshot - a gun with a tablet integrated?:p
[Miscellaneous Android Development] surfer63:
That wrong image message most of the time has to do with the machine_model variable in HWDEF and the value the recovery binary in the recovery image searches for. Most of the latest gingerbread HWDEFs have "machine_model=Master-G_Neptuno" instead of a real model number like AN7 for Arnova7, A70BHT for an Archos 7 Hometablet V2, etc. etc.

In the case of the "machine_model=Master-G_Neptuno" the recovery binary detects a "wrong" image as it is obviously not for the "real machine model".

By incident I did the same with a custom rom for the Archos7C (A70CHT) and by accident used my own machine model (A70BHT). The Archos 7C did't want to flash my custom rom.

Maybe if you start using the real machine model again it might work again. simply download an original firmware for your tablet and check the HWDEF.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] stevemp:
Thanks, I will try that. If I only make changes in system.img can I just format system and cache and only flash those two partitions?

stevemp
[Miscellaneous Android Development] surfer63:
Yes, you can. And depending on your change you don't even have to flash the cache but it is safer to do.

Normally when testing I simply reflash the system partition with a new system.img using rkflashtool, nothing more than that.

Is it realy 2.3 Kernel or moded 2.1 ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] stevemp:
kernel

Rockchip only made one kernel for rk2818, 2.6.25. Different versions of Android use the same kernel, Eclair, Froyo, and Gingerbread.

stevemp
[Miscellaneous Android Development] heart_crafter:
if you mean rom... then yea it is 2.3 not 2.1
[Miscellaneous Android Development] IlyaSick:
Under which version of the android was developed kernel 3084?

We have a dispute.

That all roms 2.3 is the same as 2.1 with modified libraries.

And that 2.3 does not work better than stock 2.1.

Make clear, please.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] JDfense:
Let's clear some words and meaning

Android rom versions--- 2.1 eclare 2.2 froyo 2.3 gingerbread

In the roms are regulary 5 img files: system,boot,kernel,misc and recovery

The kernel version for all rk2818 tablets is 2.6.25

[Miscellaneous Android Development] JDfense:
Okay I'm back in.

Are we getting in a philosophic discussion?

System and boot are the playground for the cooks around here. Google gave us the basic stuff and we try to cook something useful for our tablets.

What has changed?

Features and design. Improving every rom we got in our hands or built up a new rom are the goals. Devs do the second part, cooks the first. So what, pick a rom and have soms fun.:cool::) And don't forget: no risk, no fun, Ilya Sick.:D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] IlyaSick:
No.

And it is not about risk. I've been using your ROMs.

I just want to understand.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] JDfense:
Then try it from the start. Read about android in post #3 of this thread. Then ask here and elsewhere, don't forget to google. Thats the way to get knowledge about your tablet.

busybox

busybox has many unix utilities built into a small binary. http://busybox.net/about.html

But it is source code which must be compiled and you pick what utilities. Every rom I look at has different busybox, so commands that work on one rom may not work on different rom. Just type in busybox at prompt to see what is available. If you just change busybox, links and file permissions are broken. FYI.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] IlyaSick:
I did not think is being rude someone. I just do not do programs for android.

Due to the fact that you are creating, I needed a response to the level Yes No. That's all
[Miscellaneous Android Development] heart_crafter:
hmm i thought it was just the case with sh

FYI :D

one of the reasons im using #!/system/bin/busybox sh in scripts...

in eclair original sh has a lot less commands... does not support if statements... so i used busybox sh to run custom scripts...

---------- Post added at 11:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:47 AM ----------

We put hours to bake these roms... can't you use 7 minutes of yours to flash it and check the version?

I think you are not getting your answer because no one understood your question. We did try.

Suggestions:

Ask a full question.

Put some more details in your question.

Be more specific.

If you don't know what you are talking about, please do tell.

Lineage of Gingerbread

What is the origin of Gingerbread for RK2818? What is the original official release machine? I have been doing extensive Google searching looking for an original to compare with the variations that exist here and the other boards.

I have found posts by DaremoS, _fun, and zarko, but no clear mention of where the original came from. It is very difficult to learn what modifications people have done to make it work on the PMP3084B, Next3, Odys Genesis without some baseline to compare. Eclair and Froyo seem to be very similar in the way they are constructed, but Gingerbread is different in key ways.

Any information on this would be appreciated.

Thank you!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DaremoS:
Original was by Lefeudedieu & Kornyone. Later come fun_ porting CyanogenMod 7 to RK2818, fun_ never did a rom just images of boot & system.

The first to do a rom with fun_ images was Donaldj83 who made a rom for Gingerbread 2.3.4. That rom never played a video with hardware acceleration.

I take his rom and started to work on it until we reach our small goal of to put HW video accelerated.

There are several other ports in Sweden, Germany and Spain by Jostey.

But we in this thread complete Gingerbread for RK2818.

Thanks to Lefeudedieu and fun_ !!!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] stevemp:
Gingerbread

It all starts with the source>Android Open Source Project http://source.android.com/source/initializing.html

The Linux kernel> http://www.linuxtopia.org/online_books/linux_kernel/kernel_configuration/

_fun's page with boot and system img> http://androtab.info/cyanogenmod/rockchip/

And then DaremoS to put it all together and get it working. :D

[Miscellaneous Android Development] NickEFuze:
DaremoS and Stevemp,

Thank you for the information! You are kind to take the time to help.

I am still trying to find a pristine (unaltered) RK2818 Gingerbread ROM to further my education. Any ideas of where I can find one?

Thank you!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] stevemp:
Guess I was not clear about RK2818 Gingerbread ROM, :) Rockchip never released one. So what we have are Gingerbread ROMs compiled by dev against proprietary libraries with code written by them. Some things work but without source code many things do not. Maybe you can look at generic Gingerbread in Android SDK.

stevemp
[Miscellaneous Android Development] IlyaSick:
This is the answer

Thank you guys
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DaremoS:
I've restarted reading the posts about some pending issues that I haven't been capable to solve... (during vacations time in my country I'm not so fruitful :o).

Our rom is awesome... but still have several bugs that I want to solve because is the rom I usually use.

This two post above solve some of those issues and I wan't to show them as the nice way our members can help us in this task.

My friend John Denver Fense is doing a nice job managing everything here.

Some nice applications

I've been testing some new applications and one is N7 Music Player which have a interesting requirement to make us investigate.

This music player the same coverflow usually seen in Apple's **** :p product of a feature named OpenGL ES 2.0. No idea yet how this can be implemented.

If some is interested here can be downloaded the apk N7 Music Player as in Market it's not possible.

BTW this site is excellent for android (and other) apps Mobilism.org

Now if somebody want to see how work a great MP4 open source operating system in android. Get Rockbox for Android (not related with Rockchip) which is an almost professional music player ported to lots of devices.

Now ported to android here Rockbox for Android

Music features are fully implemented in this build. This features will make happy those user who enjoy a great music player.

Now if you want to enjoy good music without extreme features get TTpod which brings awesome sound too.

Have a good lunch and a great nap!!!

Hi DaremoSuperstar,

I see you have a a lot of work to do for us. Right now I'm back to froyo again. Standby keeps the battery loaded for more than one day, with only a few power lost and wake up everytime without one SOD.Yes thats the real fun without _ stuff. That is somesthing, what we should try to fix in gingerbread.

I will look in the music and video apps you recommend. Btw of the topic is there a android app to create music beats, guitar amp modeler or soft synthi?

What about the new rom stuff you mentioned before your vacation?

Not sure if you needed any of that info, but if you guys could point me in the right direction of what to download to update my firmware, root and get the android market I would really, really, appreciate it.

Thanks.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] heart_crafter:
Install drivers from post 3

Turn of Next3, while holding the down key plugin Next3 using a usb cable... make sure drivers load up...

Install flash tools from post 3 (You can use any of the flash tools to verify that the device is recognized...)

Get any rom for next3 from post2

And flash it!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dprofosho:
alright so I got the rom and it looks great on my next3!

But the only problem is that when I click the market icon it says "Application not found"

[Miscellaneous Android Development] dprofosho:
Oh sorry it was the second one on the list or V1.2rc2

Also, im guessing that it is the fastest and most responsive ROM for the Next3 since it is the most recent, right?

or is one of the more outdated ones with specs that specifically say "Faster" on them, faster?

Thanks.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] stevemp:
Stock Eclair and Froyo are fastest on my Next3, will check out why that's not working.:eek:

BQ Darwin Froyo

I am looking for original factory update for our devices.

I have obtained the PMP3084B Froyo 2.2 (V.3.0.4) because it is available from direct download.

On the BQ Darwin site, you must enter a serial number to download firmware. Does anyone have the original Froyo updates for the BQ Darwin? Or the Odys Genesis?

Thanks for DaremoS Gingerbread Third Edition

Over the weekend, I updated my Odys tablet to this third edition (V1.2rc22) and am quite happy with it, thanks DaremoS, stevemp and JDfense! It is much more stable than my previous Cyanogen ROM, and had good basic functionality (and the rest you can get from the market). Nice remapping of the hardware keys to volume. Working YouTube etc. It does not feel very fast, but feels very stable (does not hang). Great work!

One question, though: the screen calibration seems a bit off; is there an easy way to recalibrate the screen? Did find some posts on this topic, but could not really get an answer for this ROM. Screen seems off in landscape by some half cm bot top and bottom (need to press lower than top/higher than bottom actually is).

But again: overall great work! Thanks. Kees.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] JDfense:
Have you switched on the screen rotation in the zeam launcher?

I don't know any way to manual calibrate this rom, but I have calibration problem with the odys version. Sometimes the rotation hangs a bit. Then I turn it in another direction and back to the wished direction. It works for me.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] surfer63:
The rom doesn't contain a TSCalibration.apk. That's the reason you can't (re)calibrate. Next to that: every TSCalibration.apk is considered as a system apk which means that you can't download and install one later and then reboot to start it.

The fact that it's off is most possibly due to the soft-button bar that decreases the total screen size while the system thinks it has the complete screen to work on, but that's a guess as it was the reason of early froyo roms on our tablets (mine is an Archos 7HTv2) that came from tablets without soft buttons.

Does it also occur when you set the zeam launcher setting to full screen?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BigSplit:
The Froyo version seems to be the quickest so far.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] JDfense:
Yes, it is.:)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] surfer63:
What's more: I find my tablet so inaccurate (needed to use the soft keyboard pretty often yesterday) that I added fun_'s TSCalibration.apk again.

Now my tablet's screen is nicely calibrated again.
