Good to know you have installed CWM!

That working GPS is not real GPS, it is network location GPS from WIFI. The GPS from satellite is not enabled yet.

i saw that the cam is not working,

however i can't even get skype voice chat to work, I remember it working with the froyo version. Is there something I can do to get it working?

Thanks for help
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sburns90:
At this time only the Photos with the camera works. Other then that the camera drivers do not have all the bugs worked out for Gingerbread / CM 7.2.

It is a work in progress.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cas_xp:
It is caused by Skype sound capture high quality which is not supported by Audio driver.

Now it is fixed and update with 5.1 patch in #post 1.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sburns90:
This is slightly off topic, but:

Where is proof that Matsunichi/Innocomm are the makers of LePan. I need it for some digging I am doing, and for some stuff I am writing to LePan.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] yann2:
The Specs sheet for the LP II model has their company letterhead on it. JohnA2U posted a copy of this (original was from Lepantab.com site) at Lepanlife.com forums - Get it HERE.

Le Pan has removed the specs sheet and any reference to HDMI out, USB otg and some other promised goodies for that model.

But contact information is on it. :)

Screen snapshot :
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sburns90:
Push...

I plan to continue to push and hammer both LePan and Matsunichi support and soon management with emails and anything I need to until I get them to understand I will not stop until I recieve source code. Because eventually they hopefully will get fed up with me, and release it.

The more people who do it the better the chance is.

Petitions are nice, but petitions don't take up their time, if we continually contact them and use their time then hopefull we can make it to the point where there is no reason from a business stand point not to release the source.

Did you find an email address for management?

If it'll eventually lead to ICS on the TC970, I'm in.

Is Matsunichi gonna continue the LePan brand??

Just saw this online and am wondering how long LePan will be supported.

(I can't post URLs cause somehow my post count went away - look at matsunichi dot com)

The Marquis Pad 977 seems closest to the LePanII but they went back to the OMAP processor.

Not sure what to make of the Marquis Pad 979
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] yann2:
There was a blog post on Engadget regarding the 'MarquisPad' line. And as you mentioned, the http://Matsunichi.com site is now basically all about the Marquispad brand.

I think this model is the replacement for the Le Pan 1, TC970 tablet - which Le Pan is not even providing online firmware files for it any more. They dropped it pretty quickly, once the II model was out.

I am afraid this will be a repeating thing - people will not like seeing their new toy being ignored by the manufacturer after only 6 months on the market.

Having multiple models to support will not improve Matsunichi's delivery of fixes, patches, updates either.

Bump for Beta 6
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] koreanschoolkid:
Has anyone tried installing the Amazon Video .apk? I have had no luck installing it and getting it work on HC and ICS devices but it worked on my GB phone so maybe it will work on this device. It's the 1 thing keeping me from buying this tablet right now so please repond

You Rock! I just tried it to day using navigation on my tablet and works like a charm. Seem more responsive than my car GPS after a first try.

Great work!

Do Adobe flash work on CM9 for this tablet?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cas_xp:
I didn't try to install flash player. Since GPU is not enabled at all, it has no reason to try this.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] crackitopen:
I did install Adobe Flash Player on my TC970 after Beta 5 was installed - it seemed to be working well with Crackle app, and the Flash Player auto updated as well. I just now downloaded the Beta 6, so I haven't tried this yet, but I will be upgrading the tablet over the weekend now. I'll post the results after I do that.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] djxedxd:
Ok Really stupid noob question.I will promptly smack myself for asking after im told how to do it cause its probly very easy im just overlooking it.

HOW DO I SELECT ANYTHING IN RECOVERY ???

This is the easiest stupidest thing i can't figure out ever lol.

I scroll to Backup And Restore to make a backup with the volume buttons then hit the power button and it goes to screen with Hat and circle arrow wait forever nothing hit power again and im back to recovery screen ?

I hit reset and all it does is says lepan and goes back to recovery?

I'm lost LOL.

My mom bought this off HSN and sorry to say this thing is crap anytime they build a reset button into something its because they expect it to screw up a lot.

With that said i know i can greatly improve it with your help I've been coming to this forum for way longer then I've been a member And have rooted everything I've owned so far but this has me lost.

Question

Have I applied beta 6wrong if I'm unable get a GPS fix but I get a signal
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cas_xp:
Sorry, what is your question?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] america94:
issue with market and beta 6 installed

hello everyone,

First of all, congratulations to all involved in getting CM7 for the tc970 going and working! got it installed for a couple of days now, and i just LOVE it!!

Tablet is faster, so many more tweaks available, GPS works great, etc, etc.

The only issue i have so far is how my le Pan is recognized by the Market when I access it from the tablet....

At first after installing CM7, I was surprised how little was available on the market vs before CM7... So i researched, tweaked my build.prop file (to change LePan to LGE VS910 4G as found in one tutorial) and it fixed everything (Netflix, IMDB, FlashPlayer are my test apps to see if available or not)...

BUT, for what seems every time I reboot the le Pan, the market changes its "perception" of my tablet and I am back at square one... Wiping cache and data on the market seems to do the trick if I stick to LCD density 240, but that is too big and constant "resetting" of market is annoying.

So to sum up,

- I edit the build.prop for LGE above AND LCD = 240 (only way it works with the market).

- I go on the market, confirms it works by seeing IMDB, Netflix and Flash player as available.

- I bring LCD down to 200.

- Market again, confirms it works with above apps.

- I reboot tablet, go to Market, and IMDB, Netflix, etc are not compatible anymore...

I've spent several hours researching and tweaking, but i'm really stuck now....

PS if I access the Market from PC, I have 2 devices: Matsu from before upgrade to CM7 and my "new" Le pan with CM7.

When testing apps above (or others), what is not compatible for one tablet usually is with the other..... so that is a workaround, but I prefer accessing the market from the tablet.

Thanks for your help!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rsamuel:
Sorry. I was asking if I flashed the beta 6 GPS file if theres a gps signal now, but it never makes a lock on a location.

Also thank you for your excellent work on this tablet, absolutely superb.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cas_xp:
Try LCD=160, That is a standard one. And I don't see any problem in market.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cas_xp:
Try install beta6 on top of beta5.1

You are the first one to report GPS not working.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] yann2:
From my Step by Step CM7 Install tutorial, I have a paragraph or two describing that snag :

---------- Post added at 08:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:56 AM ----------

Second that recommendation - you should stick with 120, 160 or 240 which are 'standard' as far as the Market goes.

160 is a good resolution, 120 a bit on the small size. 240 is ugly. :) :rolleyes:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Mr. Raza:
I have a question i just finished installing beta 5 and the patches 5.1 and 6 using instructions on lepanlife but it booted up the screen is upside down unless I did something wrong with the flash, It was my first android flash i was stuck in a boot loop and i used iBoot to recover from that and flashed beta 5 after that, other than the upside screen it works fine thanks for the help

edit: I fixed it by reflashing everything and it all works great the only problem now is reinstalling all the programs I had installed:cool:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] america94:
Sorry, i forgot to mention that I find 160 way too small for my eyesight and wanted to stick to 180 or 200... found a solution though: I installed LCD.Density.Modder.Pro which has the function of "Fix market compatibility issues (permanently)", stuck to the LG profile in build.prop and Voila! no more compatibility issues with the market at the LCD density of my choice!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] medievil1:
the font's way to small @ 160 to be usable for me.. Icons and font were both larger with 2.2 and since there is no way to change the font used by the system without running through hoops it is easier to match the icon/font size (200) with lcd density

200 worked fine for me, no issues with google play and Icons and fonts are now at the size they were with 2.2

GPS

To all having GPS problems.

If you are on beta 6

Download the tool GPS Status and tool box.

Here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...tatus2&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd

Then once it is downloaded, hit the menu button then look for clear GPS data.

Then click redownload AGPS data.

That solved my problem.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cas_xp:
What is your problem?

I found GPS Status has some problems on Beta6, especially on compass data. It is obvious wrong direction comparing with Google maps or GPS Essential. It could be the digital compass sensor driver issue with original display rotation. Anyway I have to tune digital compass value to make Google maps/GPS Essential works.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] wachoface:
CM9?

I can't find a thread for cm9 for the tc970. I guess everyone gave up on that?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cas_xp:
We are waiting kernel source code to fix GPU issue.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] yann2:
We have a forum user friend with an insider contact at Matsunichi HQ, he says he will try and ask them about the TC970's source code.

Considering they pretty much orphaned it (there's not even an original firmware file for TC970 on Le Pan's website anymore), they could do the right thing and release the source.

Fingers crossed, this is our best bet; they might not budge either.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] wachoface:
BOOTLOOP!!!!!!

I have the newer right side up CWM which I used. I made a backup of stock and flashed CM7 5.0 after clearing the big three, which I also cleared after. I rebooted and, cool, works. I then turned off and entered CWM again to flash the 5.1 update. I cleared the cache and dalvik but I don't think I cleared the data. I'm now in the longest BOOTLOOP. I just hope I can enter CWM to recover stock and try again. I'll update with success/failure details. Would me forgetting to clear the data force a bootloop? Also, if I can't get back to recovery what other methods might be available.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] yann2:
wacho - to install the Beta 5.1 and 6 packages, you do NOT need to delete any of the caches.

Those are SMALL, add-on packages, a few KB each; simply add them on top of a working Beta 5 install.

You should be able to get into CWM the usual way, with vol-minus and power button pressed. An alternative is to use ADB, if you have it installed, and type 'adb reboot recovery' with the tablet connected to a PC or laptop.

Good luck - when you do get into CWM, I would suggest to fix your current problem you could :

- delete all 3 caches.

- install Beta 5.

- immediately after that, install Betas 5.1 and 6.

- reboot when done.

all should be well then. ;)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] wachoface:
cool

Yea, I should've just installed them all in the first place. I was actually wondering if I could or not. Goes to show, when in doubt do some research. OK, well I'm still waiting for the battery to die so I can hopefully enter CWM. I guess I'll go the adb route if I must. I appreciate the advice.

Update: I let the battery die. I then charged her a good five hours, not enough for a full charge but it should be enough. I then attempted to start CWM recovery, I saw what I thought was the "lepan" logo so I let go of the power button. It was actually the battery charging display popping up, even though I had it unplugged. As soon as I noticed I held the power button down again. The entire time I had volume - pressed. I guess I screwed it up and I'm gonna have to wait until tomorrow for the battery to die.. again. I'll let you know if it worked after that.

Update: I let the battery die and I charged it all the way this time. I tried putting it into recovery and it entered the bootloop again!! I don't have adb installed. I feel stuck. Is there still hope?

Update: I figured it out thanks to someone on androidtablets.net, apparently it is super easy to enter I boot during a bootloop. Just push a pin in the reset button then immediately hold volume UP. Choose enter recovery and the rest is history. I got into CWM with this technique. I then followed your steps and I got gingerbread running on the ol' lepan!!!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] wachoface:
well...

I've been checking out CM7 and it's pretty cool. The moving chart display app, avilution aviationmaps, doesn't work though. It's the reason I wanted gingerbread on the tablet. I went to restore my backup and it says "restoring boot image failed.". I tried clearing all threex3 and I then went into advanced restore and tried restoring boot. Still giving me the same thing. I guess it's not a huge problem because the backup chart display I have still works with CM7 but I sure would like to know what the issue is and how to fix it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cas_xp:
Recently I changed the backup and restore behavior. Now the CWM will backup and restore kernel image. So here is the workaround to restore old backup:

1) Backup your current CM7 image

2) Go to your new backup and copy kernel.img to your old backup folder.

3) Modify nandroid.md5 in the old backup and add one line about kernel.img from nandroid.md5 in new backup folder

4) Try to restore the old backup

It should work.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jerrystake:
We will see...

Very well done my friend. I wonder, as I'm prone to do now and then, has anyone been up on TI's open source site to see if anything useful can be had there? I feel most of the Froyo released on the 970 came from there?

Anyway, thanks for the request you put together on our behalf.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jfd3220:
Thanks for submitting that letter. It was very succinct. Hopefully they will recognize the benefits of releasing the code.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] GnatGoSplat:
Thanks for composing and sending the letter. Squeaky wheel gets the grease! Sometimes, all it takes is a strongly worded letter.

I don't want to get my hopes up, but I'm just curious... is kernel source all that's necessary to get ICS running with UI acceleration? I did see it looks like TI has OMAP3 drivers for kernel 3.0.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jerrystake:
Touch Screen Goodix Source

I don't know if you are interested but I have found the Goodix GT801 kernel source code for the touchscreen including the header files fv+ was looking for. I'm guessing the 801 chip can't be found on the fcc schematics because it may be bundled with the lcd panel. It appears to be an I2C interface but I have not looked at the android dev guide for the chip as of yet. ( I have that as well )

I don't have a Ubuntu setup and have been avoiding doing so as my dev sys is in storage. I may be able to setup a kernel build on my laptop but may be just spinning my wheels.

If you feel that with the lcd source you may be able to get the touch to work I think I might be able to track down enabling acceleration which should be part of Ti's recent omap3 release.

Once I figure out an account to share code here I will upload what I have..
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sburns90:
That driver I believe has already been implemented. When I originally installed the ALPHA version the touchscreen was usable.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] yann2:
An Update on This :

We recently submitted our letter, was sent to a manager in Matsunichi's California offices.

He understands the importance of the issues raised, and is forwarding the letter to Matsunichi's upper management in China.

Hopefully they will consider, and maybe release the source code as we requested. :)

Keeping fingers closed, this is going thru the proper channels, and I hope we explained all issues in a clear manner.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] wachoface:
I tried that and I don't see a kernel.img but there is a boot.img which my stock backup doesn't have. I then followed your instructions except with the boot.img file. I copied it over and edited the nandroid.md5 and added the boot.img line included in the newer backup. It said the md5 doesn't match now. Why would my boot.img be missing in the first place with the stock backup? I'm kinda lost here. Thank you, cas_xp.

After updating to BETA 6, my tablet starts freezing after a long period of use and I'd have to reset it via the reset button.

I didn't wipe any caches. Just flashed the update and that was it. Any ideas?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jerrystake:
Hang ups

I had a similar issue where I re-installed beta 5.1 and beta six back to back. Be sure to wipe all cache's including battery after a full charge before and after install. Don't do a full reset wipe unless you want to install a complete install from beta 5.0. Just remember to install all updates before booting.

I don't know if all this was needed but it worked for me. I believe the real issue was with the battery history that I did not wipe my first attempt but did on the re-install. Like I said I would try wipe dalvik then cache and battery. Install 5.1 then beta6_gps update. No need to restore data unless you did a re-install from 5.0. In that case just nand restore the data and not the firmware to get your apps back...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] BoostedEK:
Before and after install? So your saying wipe dalvik cache, cache, and battery stats before and after the install of the updates?

What I have done was wipe data, wipe all caches then reinstalled beta 5.0 and flashed the 5.1 and 6 updates right after. It's still freezing. I'm not sure if I should wipe battery stats because won't that mess up the battery calibration or something?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cas_xp:
You can copy the new boot.img to old backup and modify the md5 accordingly. I don't know why your old boot.img is missing. But I suspect your SD card may have some troubles if you have copied correct file with correct md5 value.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jerrystake:
Battery

I always re-calibrate battery after a new install except this flash from froyo which I had hang-up. The way I do it is charge fully then wipe battery. I believe some of the charging problems associated with the upgrades are due to the battery history. I could of course be wrong as I am just going by experience I've had with flashing numerous devices having similar problems. As for wiping before and after, I'm just going by what some other devs have suggested with their Rom's. Another thing to try is fix permissions as I've solve problems this way as well.

Check out some battery calibration tutorials to better understand the importance of battery calibration after a new rom flash.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] BoostedEK:
Now its freezing even when I reinstalled 5.0 without any of the updates. Would the battery stats have anything to do with it freezing like this? I noticed it usually freezes when I'm going through different apps quickly or performing other tasks quickly. When its idling or when I'm not doing anything on it, there are no freezes.

This is very frustrating because this ROM performs really good and is way better than the stock Froyo 2.2. Also, its not like I always have a thin object in my possession to keep resetting it all the time.

Hmm...
