Same. I keep getting "Server error" and have tried several different versions of market (including the latest one released just yesterday on goo-inside.me). Note that I had to copy the files from the apps zip to the correct folders with root explorer and then reboot because update.zip method wasn't working (signature verification failed), but this shouldn't have been any different than that method.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] $$pasquale:
hi friends,

so

download these

copy on root of sdcard and reboot to recovery mode.

Install gapps like an update (use -install zip from sdcard...)

USE LAST FIRMWARE!

thanks jqv!

The android 4 was too slow

I installed the cianogenmod 7 and its great.

The only issue is that the "google play" or "play store" does not have all the apps.

I am trying to find a video player that plays .ass or .idx 3D subtitles (the ones that come with it does not play them)

MX video player plays them.

But for some reason MX video player shows part of its interface over the video.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jqv:
Happy to see you liked CM7 :-) I also have play store issues sometimes but then I try to find what I'm looking for on other alternative markets like Aptoide or GetJar.

I have no idea about .ass or .idx 3D subtitles, sorry.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ozp:
jqv, I forgot about those alternatives. I was using novo 8 with a nebular nerd ROM since 2011.

Does the VLC Beta should work on novo 8 CM7? Its at the play store but not at bazzar and getjar.

They provide direct download here:

nightlies dot videolan org slash build

The v7-neon installed but only plays sound (standard mkv movie file)

My issue is to be able to play mkv 1080p 3D files with 3D subtitles at my TV.

To play 3D subtitles first we need the subtitle file. Most commom is .ass .idx.

Embembed at the mkv file (to work on some TV and box players) or not (work on PC with VLC and other good players).

Never tried to play them with android and found no information about it. There are some information about 3D tablets, but this is not the case. The 3D screen will be the TV. The tablet just have to play the file.

I tried those players:

Video Player (comes with CM7) - .ass it plays scrambled. .idx it plays ok but at the wrong position.

MX player: plays .idx ok

Other players like vplayer, rockplayer, VLC, ES media player, Daroon player and other either does not play the video (hardware decode) or too slow at software decoder.

But I found another problem. I dont know if this is related to novo 8, CM7 or android:

With HDMI 1080p the video plays at full screen, but the player window seems to stay at 1280x768 (smaller than the 1080p screen).

So when you open the controls they apear at the center of the screen. The subtitles also apear at the center/middle (and then 3D junction is compromised)

MX player have a additional issue, because it leaves black bars (part of it interface) at the screen the whole time....
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jqv:
I also tried the v7-neon version watching Bunny and got a unwatchable pixly sluggish image with VLC Beta.

I can also confirm that the controls is in the center of the TV screen in 1080p but this is not a problem for me yet because the controls goes away after a few seconds and I haven't watched any subtitled movies. But it would be nice to be able to :-)

Hi ozp.

Next week I will send an email to MXplayer dev with some info to fix this issue.

I decided long ago to do it but I'm busy...

Other player, like Mobo, works but is needed enable hardware acceleration from settings. VLC still don't works fine.

It's normal, also for official ROM. Depends from framebuffer...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] yipchuenfong:
These files are picked from UK Rom v4.0
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ozp:
thanks for the help.

I was able to remove the bars: MX player has a buttom that changes the screen to CROP 100% FIT to screen, etc . This makes the bars fade away

Also I could see the 3D subtitles when using 720p hdmi out.

The goal is to make this work with 1080p

The issue is that the player interface still not full screen at HW decode.

Working 3g in unofficial Novo 8 Cyanogen Mod 7?

/ / Written using Google Translator - I hope you will understand)

Good day, from previous posts, concludes that 3G modems huaweii E1750 E220 does not work. Do psquare might try to add yet somehow the drivers for these modems? Rom is a really light, and at the same functional only just missing the 3g.

As if this rom to appear - certainly test it and let you know.

(I have huaweii E220 and Huawei E160)

I noticed that the ROM CM9 for Ainol 7 Advanced II supports DVB-T dongle, External FM dongnle and Voice/SMS by using huawei modems but probably a different machine ..

--------------

In polish

//Pisane z użyciem Google Translator - mam nadzieję, że zrozumiecie)

Dzień dobry, ze wcześniejszych postów wnioskuje, że 3g na modemach huaweii e220 e1750 nie działa. Czy psquare mógłbyś spróbować dodać jeszcze jakoś sterowniki do tych modemów? Rom jest naprawdę lekki, a przy tym funkcjonalny tylko brakuje właśnie tego 3g.

Jakby taki rom się pojawił - napewno przetestuję i dam znać.

(Mam have huaweii e220 i huawei e160)

Zauważyłem, że ROM dla Ainol 7 Advanced II wspiera DVB-T ale zapewne to różne maszyny..

Hello psquare!

Ok, I guessed that - a lot of things for me too :)

Sounds great =)

Don't be! As I said before about dongel support - there are better ways of connecting "on the road" like wifi tethering other devices etc.

Yes, tried CM9 V 0.95 and it's very nice indeed. The system splash looks good with the CM9 boot animation :cool:

Still it's a tiny bit quirky at times for me compared with the more rock solid CM7. I got a few white blank web browser pages and system freezes running a couple of days, solved by a reboot, but it's still good.

I sure will do that - as usual :)

:good: Thanks!

Only minor cosmetic issue is a few sec of broken yellow cortex a9 logo just before the cm boot logo.

And there is some problems getting wifi up again after resume but is fixed by going in advanced wifi settings and setting wifi policy to never. Didn´t work in cm9.

Great work and i am a bit curious about what´s changed?

Hi, last version of CM9 is for me more unstable than previous version, too many fc, downloading any file from web or dropbox impossible - not enough space on SD card (really 6GB free), some errors with Play store after install ROM. Thanx anyway, looking forward next version!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Slv:
Hi, pisquare, thanx for your great ROMs!

But in last CM9 there is no file manager at all. No even in PowerPack. I just aded Total Commander with winRAR, and all is ok. ;)

Digma iDX7, has same hardware (exept screen is 800x480) as our Novo8, and has native ICS.

I tried to replace whole EGL folder, mali.ko and libmali.so with files from iDX7. Those files is much faster in nenamark - 13fps (your ICS is 7,6-8,6fps) but has sometimes texture glitches. I haven't knowledge enough in android graphics pipeline, so may be another files still needed.

Can we use Digma's v3 kernel?

Hope it can help you to make your ROMs even better.

psquare why doesnt 3d games work in cyanogenmod 9.1?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Slv:
Thanx!

Why is your recovery hangs on boot on 2.3.4 ROM (Cheeyee)?

urkelz

Just copy this files to lib folder of .zip, containing ROM.

It may be unstable, but for me is OK. Use it on your own risk.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] $$pasquale:
Because cheeyee applied the patch to kernel to increase data partition.. ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] MrRimmer:
Really enjoying this ROM so far, feels very professional. I have been experiencing the freezes under all situations. Sometimes when the screen is off, sometimes in the middle of using the tablet and the latest one was whilst trying to get through the lock screen pattern - I got two goes then it locked up in the middle of the third attempt.

I see the ROM leaves very little space, not enough to build an ad-blocking hosts file in /system. I wonder if this is a possible reason for the random crashes?

Another observation - it seems that this ROM is not as compatible as the Cheeyee 2.3. I wish I could say why, but for instance "Rules Engine" by Daniel Herrero is marked as incompatible. Perhaps some tweaks to build.prop would help?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] MrRimmer:
Wifi Issues CM 9.1 and other observations

Hi PSquare,

I am currently playing with the installation and hope you find the following observations useful for the next build. I'll probably edit this post over the next hour or so as I discover issues.

1. You might want to patch the /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db database as described here in the next build as it will allow the Wifi receiver to pick up channels above 11. I have just been testing and my company network is on channel 13 which is usually invisible to ICS.

2. USB mass storage appears to be broken. Clicking on the "Turn on USB Storage" button just shows a spinning wait cursor.

3. I think this is probably a hardware issue so nothing you can control, but ICS thinks the tablet is charging when plugged into a PC via USB. Of course it is not charging but this causes the profile switching app I use to switch to a high performance governor unnecessarily.

4. Wifi sometimes becomes disabled, I think this is an ICS issue but after playing around with the governor (trying to avoid having the tablet running at 1GHz all the time) the novo got into such a state that the only way of restoring Wifi was to reinstall after doing three wipes!

I have installed you custom ICS branch and will do similar tests on that...

Hope this is of use...

Bye.

I have installed the CM9 and have a lot of freeses.

Also somethimes the touch screen stop working.. Is this expected?

What is the stablest rooted ROM for ainol novo 8?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] MrRimmer:
For stability, the Cheeyee ROM is the best. I have been running it for months without issue but of course it's Gingerbread so rather out-of-date. I'd love a stable CM9, and the latest one seems a lot better than previous versions but still some way to go. Hopefully psquare will find time to continue development on this as well as all the other projects he is involved in.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ozp:
Thanks. I've installed Cheeyee ROM and the problem with the touch screen stills... I think my novo 8 got defective because my son droped it a few times.....

I will try to see if it works with netflix and remote controler, at least it can be used for something

Regards
[Miscellaneous Android Development] MrRimmer:
I've been playing with CM7 for a couple of days and I must say, it seems to be the most stable of the three psquare distributions so far. I guess the Novo 8 just doesn't have the grunt to cope with ICS. Only one observation at the moment, the build.prop could do with tweaking to improve application compatibility - I think changing dpi to 160 is sufficient:

ro.sf.lcd_density=160

persist.sys.lcd_density=160

I'm sure I'll have more to report soon.

Bluetooth seems to die after the screen switches off.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] $$pasquale:

Any indication of what's changed would be really appreciated.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jqv:
Good news! :) I think I need to reflash anyway because the flight mode icon got stuck on the top panel on my Ainol8 a couple of weeks ago.

But wifi works and I have to enable wifi on every boot but that airplane is still up there... :p
[Miscellaneous Android Development] MrRimmer:
More tests on the last build - in DSP manager, "phone speaker" works on headphones (the headphone option doesn't do anything) but bass boost does not work at all, only equaliser.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] MrRimmer:
I got around that problem using Llama Location Profiles The name is a bit misleading as it can run actions based on other conditions e.g. connecting to a specific hotspot, screen on/off and power on/off. So you can tell it to force wifi on after starting up then switch off if no connection has been made after 1 minute,saving battery if you're out of range. Much simpler to configure than Tasker but more powerful than other similar apps. I have no connection whatsoever with the author, just an impressed customer :good:

[Miscellaneous Android Development] MrRimmer:
I'm sure others can also test to see how it works (or doesn't) for them. I only report my findings in the hope that I can help to make ROM better. I don't know what are issues with CM in general, and what apply just to this build so I apologise if I am just repeating what is known elsewhere. I always try to offer a workaround or solution as it helps me learn about Android/CM etc.

I will download and start testing the new release asap.

FYI - posted to 'the other ICS' thread

I just posted this to the 'other' ICS thread, but it is relevant here as well:

I've been experimenting a bit with these ICS builds and found that the dejitter solution seems to be (part of) the cause of the cause of the random crashes. To try this for yourself just adb shell into the tablet, remount /system rw and edit /system/bin/ts-dejitter.sh to disable the script (just add 'exit' somewhere before 'sleep 60') and run it through some tasks. While the touch screen will revert to its jittery obnoxious self, the thing won't crash - at least not here. I'll try to find out what it is which causes these crashes - the same dejitter solution works fine in Gingerbread. As those who were around when we developed the dejitter code might remember, ICS tends to crash when the driver is bound to the touch screen. Whatever causes those crashes might also lie at the root of the random crashes experienced using the custom driver. Since I'd like to use ICS (or JB) on this thing without suffering through the jitterbug I'll try to find some time to fix this...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] MrRimmer:
Hehe, we work around the language barrier as well!!

I hope you don't feel like any comments are criticism of your ROM - far from it - I have enough experience of writing software that gets broken the first time someone else uses it :p
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jqv:
Have now been running the 2.2 a couple of days. The A9 boot logo is at first a double miniature a few second or so, but is then normal and no problem. :D

Had some market error [RPC:AEC:0] in PlayStore after restoring my account with Titanium but was easily fixed like this:

Go to Settings -> Apps -> Manage -> All -> Google PlayStore -> Clear Cache and Clear Data,

go back, Delete data from Google Services Framework,

reboot.
