I'm still having major stability issues with b3.1. When I try to use my bt keyboard with Bluetooth jp, the tablet resets itself randomly. I suspect it's related to b3.1 itself because it has been unstable even before I tried using Bluetooth at all. Has anyone had success with a Bluetooth kb and the tablet, under any OS?

Tonight I will try going back to b2 which was stable for me and had sound and rotation working "ok" and test Bluetooth again.

Sound buzzing, headphones

Can someone confirm if they too have a buzzing sound when they use their headphones on the lepan? And specificy if it is with this 3.1 beta or stock.

I can confirm I have a buzzing sound on my headphones with the 3.1 beta. I don't have the stock running to see if it is software or hardware related.

The buzz does not exist without headphones.

May be a minor issue, I though I would probably never use headphones anyway on the lepan, until a couple of times when I wanted to.

The headphones I am used work fine connected to an mp3 player and my computer.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] VinnyC:
Thank you cas_xp, I love this ROM. A large part of why I bought this tablet is that I knew someone was porting CyanogenMod to it, thanks.

Mine charges with the power off, but the pictures don't change.

ScreenOrientation is good but some apps like Cut the Rope that force portrait will be upside down.

Also the scrolling in some apps was really weird and laggy until I changed Settings-> CyanogenMod Settings->Performance-> Scrolling Cache to "Force Disable". Now scrolling is always good.

Thanks again, it's so cool that someone's supporting a lesser known device like the Le Pan.

Stuck in CWM-based Recovery v5.0.2.7

Hi guys,

Long time lurker on these boards, since I was looking for a way to upgrade my TC970 to something a little fresher than the original Android version that came with the device.

I discovered this thread today, and decided to give the Gingerbread/CM7 a try.

I downloaded the griffin + update files on the first post of this board. However, I'm having an issue which seems quite unique, since I can't find anything on this thread or elsewhere on these boards, or the entire intertubes :/

Once I rebooted while holding the Volume button + Power, I got into the CWM-based Recovery, where I wanted to proceed with a Nandroid Backup before going any further. The issue is that I can go over all the menu items with the volume buttons, except that pressing the power button to activate a choice won't work. It only makes the menu disappear and shows the hat with yellow arrow in bright color in the middle of the screen instead of its faded-out look when the menu is active. If I press the power button again, it brings me back to the menu. But I'm completely stuck.

I really don't know what to do at this point, having tried to power off, or to reboot the system, to no avail since the power button keeps making the menu disappear and showing the (nice looking) hat and arrow. Is there anything obvious I could have done that may have caused this issue? If I use the reset switch behind the tablet, it reboots but brings me back to the CWM menu over and over, in an endless loop of eternal pain and suffering.

Any help would be much appreciated, if you can either:

1. Help me to get out of this nightmare, and at least get back to my plan old Froyo with my boring interface; or

2. Help me to get out of this nightmare and proceed with the Nandroid Backup + update.

I'm not an expert when it comes to Android. This tablet is my first experience, but I'm generally at ease with flashing/hacking stuff with tools already available (although I'm not a programmer at all). I went through the whole thread before going forward, didn't want to rush things and possibly brick my tablet, and followed the procedure provided in the first post carefully, so I'm at a complete lost here.

Thanks to all the community who got to work on this, especially cas_xp, fv+, chinabull, and yann2 for their helpful contributions so far. I'm truly impressed with your work/help with the TC970!

Cheers,

Tommy

I have the same problem with cwm too. My fix is to keep spamming -volume and eventually the option to use power button to select appears.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Twomby:
Thanks a lot for that quick reply sockbot, MUCH appreciated! I hadn't found anything regarding spamming the volume button. I tried it for a few seconds, and eventually it worked! I'm backing up my current system, and will proceed with the installation! Thanks again, I wasn't expecting a reply since it's almost 3AM here, but I'm really glad I took a look before going to sleep... although I may now play with this until the sun rises again! Haha!

Cheers!

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Twomby:
Beta 3 up and running! Everything went like a charm once I was able to trigger the "back button" tweak, although it was the power button in the case of the TC970.

This is really exciting and everything seems to be working fine so far, as I don't care about the camera feature on this tablet.

Thanks for your hard work guys, I'll follow this thread very closely to keep informed about further development!

Regards,

Tommy

I am still having crashing problems with Bluetooth jp that are crashing the entire os in beta 2 and 3. Let me know if you need help isolating the cause. I suspect it is more to do with the os than the app.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MadHarryRackham:
Hey guys the issue regarding cwm recovery is that you have to scroll through the options until you see 'back button enabled' it generally takes three times around to get that working
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] along1968:
I had this problem as well. I experimented with plugging in the power cable while in CWM Recovery. I noticed that the option to select certain things goes away if you are not on the charger or the battery is not charged. Sometimes the selection is enabled for a few seconds after the charger is plugged in and then goes away. I would plug in the charger and make the selection quickly and that would work.

Yeah, the hat with the arrow confused the heck out of me too!

Loving the CM7 ROM though. Still having charging problems on 3.1. However, I just leave it on all the time and charge it while running.

iBoot How to Guide (for those caught in boot loops)

The following is a guide to access the iBoot menu on the LePan TC970.

The main use for the end user will be to recover from bootloops or updated the manufacturer firmware if you have installed cas_xps CM7 port.

(I myself have had trouble updating to the latest official firmware as the common key combination would only bring up the ClockWorkMod recovery even if i had the update files on my SD card)

It can also be useful for developers as it allows access to UART3 and UART port on the LePan for access to low level system functions.

begin guide:

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

Supplies

1. Your LePan TC970 (i don't know if this will work on others LePans but let me know)

2. Paper clip (or mechanical pencil - but you have to be be really careful about the pressure if you use a mechanical pencil)

3. 30seconds

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

Steps.

1. Power off your tablet, (if stuck in a bootloop read note at end of post)

2. Press the power button

--- The next 2 steps must be done immediately after each other---

3. When you see the first "Le Pan" logo to appear press the reset button with the paper clip

4. Press and hold the volume up button (the 1 closest to power button)

5. Hold until the menu appears with an upside down menu that says "iBoot at the top"

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

If you are having trouble bringing up the iBoot menu or are in a bootloop try this:

Press the reset button with a paper clip then immediately press and hold volume up button.

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

Info on the iBoot Menu Options:

(Please note this is all from memory as I do not fell like restarting my tablet now and I am currently flashing it with stuff.)

Continue boot - This simply continues your boot or executes the boot option selected below

Enable USB UART3 - This enables the UART3 port on the device so if you have a properly made 30 pin connector with the proper pins you can access the device on a lower level than anything else except ripping it apart

Enable TPs UART - same as above except TPs... to be honest i do not know that TPs means

Boot to Download - Boots to what ever MLO iboot.ism and griffin.ifw files are on the SD card if they are signed and valid (only known valid files as of 3-7-12 are ClockWorkMod recovery by chinabull or the official manufacture files)

Boot to Recovery - boots to whatever recovery you have on the device (CWM if flashed, or iDownloader if stock)

Boot to Android Device - boot to android

Abort iBoot menu. - cancel everything and reboot

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

Hope this helps those of you in the LePan community.

Great post, thanks sburns90. We had been discussing this menu, no one was sure how to get to it since some of us hit it by accident.

Cheers for documenting it! :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] BroncoJoe:
Hello - new user here and thinking of implementing this upgrade on my device. Quick question: Does this upgrade correct the problem of connecting to a wireless secure network? i.e.: 802.1x EAP? Froyo is known to have difficulty with this type of login.

Thanks in advance.

Google Currents

I installed Beta 3 and it's AWESOME!! I always loved this tab, but wasn't too fond of Froyo. Froyo didn't bother me too much as overall performance is amazing on this thing! It just happens to be even better on Gingerbread. With that said, I am unable to install Google Currents on it. I've down'oaded several APK files and it just says application not intalled. I tried a restore from Titanium backup, but it doesn't work. Any Ideas. Other than that, I find it perfect for what I use it for. If Currents worked, I would just keep this version!! I was gonna sell mine for $150 to get the Lepan 2, and my friends didn't take it. Now they see it with Gingerbread and they all want it, lol.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cas_xp:
Didn't try, but should be same with froyo, because WIFI driver is from Froyo.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] yann2:
Hi, cas, please consider using the 4479 wifi drivers for the next Beta build. I am still suffering from extremely poor/dying wifi anytime I try to copy files over to the tablet.

Just tried a HTTP Get test, and my Touchpad can easily maintain 17 Mb/s file transfer speed. Same test with my CM7 Beta 3 dies in the first 4 % or so of the file.

It was working well, albeit slowish, with the 4749 firmware.

Thank you! :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] TheHunter1337:
@luv2blze I couldn't get currents to install at first, but for some reason after a day or two, it suddenly appeared on the market for me install it and I use it all the time now.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sockbot:
I don't understand what the Touchpad performance has to do with anything? Unless it's using the same wireless hardware as the TC970? Is that the case?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] yann2:
No, the Touchpad is different. I have made a Bug report earlier, and documented in a thread how my TC970's wifi was working pretty badly.

I think using the newer version of the TC970 firmware (version 4749, leaked from Matsunichi's FTP site) would help - wifi ran much better with that than CM7.

The Touchpad was noted as a reference result, on the same network and test conditions as the TC970.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cas_xp:
Some updates:

I am working on CM9, but it is pretty tough especially there is no kernel source:

1) Graphic acceleration can not enable

2) Touch screen is not functional at all

Here are some screen shoots:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] gfinockio:
Any new breakthroughs on CM7, though?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cas_xp:
Audio capture is working now.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] TheHunter1337:
Thank you Cas_xp, I GREATLY appreciate your work. :) The current CM7 build is nearly perfect for me, with wifi losing connection at times being the main problem. Either way you've already made this tablet far far better than stock.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bornmw:
Does CM7 fix the random freeze problem, or is it a hardware issue with some models - has anyone figured it out?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ninetiger:
I have the random freeze problem before, and it really makes me crazy. However, when I use CM7 3, there is almost no freeze, and after I flash back to the stock firmware, there is no freeze! I don't know the reason behind this.... Just want to share my experience.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cas_xp:
I didn't see too much different between 4431 and 4749, here is my screen shoot:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] TheHunter1337:
Cas if you could up a rom with the newer firmware I would like to test it to see if it alleviates my wifi issues. Unless you have a better suggestion for a setting to try tweaking?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cas_xp:
You can find it from here

My test is based on 4749 stock firmware and my gingerbread beta3 which is 4431 V2 firmware of WIFI
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] yann2:
Thanks for trying it out, cas. You test shows similar results indeed.

My TC970 can't copy a larger file (like the 650 MB test ones I used before) with CM7, while it can with the 4749 factory firmware. Fails after 20 MB or so, and the only way to get wifi working again is to toggle it off and on again.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cas_xp:
I can copy 200mb file no problem. My 4431 version is beta3. You can retest it using this version.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] BroncoJoe:
Thanks for the reply.

I may give it a whirl anyway!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] yann2:
Thanks, cas, I have tested with CM7 Beta 3, and it works just the same for me.

It seems a problem that affects some, not all, Le Pan tablets. Some people have reported problems with their TC979 LPII model that I instantly recognize - like this thread. The file transfer errors he reports are the same I have observed in CM7 Beta, and I am certain the reason is the wifi drivers/config files.

If I install my Froyo v.4749 nandroid backups, those files that error out in wifi copying (with other versions) are copied OK.

EDIT : Just remembered this.

Can someone running CM7 Betas check and report their MAC address for the wireless adapter? (your router will show it, it can be seen in Settings - About device also I think)

It seems some people are seeing:

44:C1:5C:29:DE:3F

...showing in different tablets. Which is a no-no, as all nics should have unique mac addresses.

My LP1 shows that MAC when running CM7, but it doesn't match the original MAC it had and is stored in my router's Static IP table.

This is a fairly serious issue - two people running CM7 Beta in the same network will promptly get disconnected, as there's an address conflict. (this happened and was reported by gsgorveatt at LPL)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cas_xp:
The WL1271 chips do not come with unique MAC address. you need to buy MAC address and modify the MAC address in the NVS file. In my beta version, you will find it in /system/etc/wifi/nvs_map.bin.

0x3 - 0x6 : MAC addr LSB

0xA - 0xD : MAC addr MSB

You can modify it by yourself.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] yann2:
Thanks, cas - I will do that. Cheers! :)

cas_xp, have you had any luck getting le pan to release the kernel source?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cas_xp:
No. I sent email to them, no response at all. If we can not get kernel source released, I will return it to Amazon and buy a similar one from big company like acer or Samsung. Everyone should do it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] GnatGoSplat:
Darn. I don't think Le Pan would release the kernel source. Guess I should have just bought my wife an HP Touchpad. She is so jealous of my CM9.

Just out of curiosity since I know nothing about Linux, what is in the kernel source that's Le Pan specific?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] yann2:
I would love to, if Amazon would take it back. :(

Haven't tried to return it, but it sure would smarten up Matsunichi, if Amazon accepted our returns and shipped it to them in California.

Like the beta 4 casxp but can't get youtube videos to play. youtube app starts up but it won't buffer videos.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] yann2:
I have been begging cas_xp to use the 4749 firmware as the base for the CM7 builds. :(

The improvement you see in YT play is due to a better networking, imo - I remember fondly having a functional wifi with that firmware version. :p

Something you could try - see if you can un-install Flash 11, and install the older 10.2 version (I posted a link, can repost link to my mirror copy if needed).

Uninstalling Flash is not the easiest thing, as Adobe sets it as a System App nowadays; you can't removed it via Settings - Applications. I managed to zap it with QtADB, via its Apps Management page.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frostbiter:
So this started happening back when I was using CM 7.1 before the new year, one day I wanted to use my camera and it would not load, just gave me a blank screen with no camera controls or anything nor would any apps that required the camera would work either. The only button I could push was the home button to go back to the home screen, if I waited long enough the camera would force close or say something about connecting to the camera. I flashed to a few other aosp roms, don't remember which ones, but the same thing happened, except when I tried the 4.0 evolvr rom, so fed up with having no camera I went back to multiple sense roms where my camera worked on all of them without any issue. Now I'm on the Evo Classic rom and my camera again isn't working, my guess would be due to it being a sense/aosp hybrid.

I had looked up solutions to this problem and the only thing I had found was to hard reset the phone by pulling the batter out for a minute and then putting it back in. I tried this but instead of having to have the batter out for a minute I needed to have the battery out for about an hour, too long or too short and the camera still wouldn't work. I've tried fix permissions, wiping camera data, redownloading and reflashing but nothing has worked.

My current setup is Classic Evo 0.0.6 preview with anthrax test 009 kernel.

My question to you guys is there anything I can do about this or will i just have to stick with pure sense roms in order to have a working camera?

Thanks again for all your help.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shirles:
I'm no professional, but if you are having issues with using AOSP ROM's, and NOT Sense ROM's, then the logical choice would be to use only Sense ROM's since there seems to be an issue between those types of ROM's and your hardware. It may not be ideal since you obviously seem to prefer the AOSP ROM's, but unfortunately in order to get the functionality you desire you may have to suck it up and go back to Sense. I would suggest the Express ROM by Outerdepth...I'm using it right now and it BAMF! Still in Beta, but most bugs are worked out and everything works, like 4G. It's got good battery life and its really fast. Just a thought.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SupremeRadicals:
Try a full wipe of your phone, like data wipe, cache, dalvik, system, etc. Flash a stock ROM then data wipe/factory reset and flash whatever ROM you desire. I've had the same problem and that worked.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frostbiter:
Thanks Supreme, it worked, I think I figured out what the problem was too, I kept using a superwipe before flashing roms but this time I didn't and it works.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SupremeRadicals:
No problem man, glad it worked. :)
