I tested this version in ICS. As mentioned before, ICS often does not seem to cope with unbinding/rebinding the touchscreen driver. If and when it survives unbinding and loading the driver, it mostly works OK until the tablet goes to sleep. Once that happens, it usually refuses to wake up or wakes up with a non-responsive touchscreen.

This version does have one interesting bug, which can be shown by enabling pointer location in settings.

Hold one finger on the screen. Now, while holding down that finger, touch the screen with another finger and let go. You'll see a line from where you let go to the upper right corner (in portrait mode), caused by the driver reporting a fake multitouch event at coordinates 0,0. This can be fixed by not reporting pressure/size events for fingers which have been lifted. This code works for me:

if(finger_list.length > 0)
{
input_report_abs(ts->input_dev, ABS_X, finger_list.pointer[0].average.x);
input_report_abs(ts->input_dev, ABS_Y, finger_list.pointer[0].average.y);
input_report_abs(ts->input_dev, ABS_PRESSURE, (finger_list.pointer[0].state == FLAG_DOWN ? finger_list.pointer[0].average.p : 0));
input_report_key(ts->input_dev, BTN_TOUCH, finger_list.pointer[0].state);
}
#ifdef GOODIX_MULTI_TOUCH
for(count = 0; count < finger_list.length; count++)
{
input_report_abs(ts->input_dev, ABS_MT_POSITION_X, finger_list.pointer[count].average.x);
input_report_abs(ts->input_dev, ABS_MT_POSITION_Y, finger_list.pointer[count].average.y);
input_report_abs(ts->input_dev, ABS_MT_PRESSURE, (finger_list.pointer[count].state == FLAG_DOWN ? finger_list.pointer[count].average.p : 0));
input_report_abs(ts->input_dev, ABS_MT_TOUCH_MAJOR, (finger_list.pointer[count].state == FLAG_DOWN ? finger_list.pointer[count].average.p : 0));
input_mt_sync(ts->input_dev);
}
#endif

In general, I'd say this solution is getting close to usable, at least for Gingerbread and lower. One annoying manifestation of jitter remains, as can be visualised when pointer location has been enabled. Lightly tap the screen, as you'd do to click a button or select an icon. Sometimes you'll get a nice, small dot - the way you want it. Other times you get a weird long multi-colored line which does not bear much relation to where you actually touched the screen, other than that it intersects with that point. The panel generates spurious touch events for these small taps. These spurious events sometimes keep you from doing certain things, eg. selecting an option in a long list (the list will scroll instead as the software interprets the spurious events as a swipe over the screen).

I just get boot loops with RC 2.0? o_O (never loads to OS screen)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] beronevirae:
Good job guys, but i have a question: Is normal the poor perfomance in games and frontend?? (maybe a problem with driver of gpu?)

when solved the perfomance, and the precision of touchscreen, this rom will be the best :)

sorry for my english...

[Miscellaneous Android Development] ejblom:
He guys,

Nice work on the RC2 of ICS. I am wondering, My son just bought a Ainol Novo8 and he will mainly be playing games on his Ainol. Since various posts indicate that the GPU performance is not optimal, would it be wise to wait until a RC comes out that has improved GPU handling? Would be bit of a bummer if Angry birds won't work properly :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mrdummy:
I have installed on my Novo8 with 2.3.4 rom.

My process:

- putting update.zip (custom 4.0.3 rom) on sdcard, install procedure with wiping partition goes well.

- reboot (that is only option here)

- then i put gapps as update.zip with uimage_recovery file together on sdcard with SwiFTP (because USB storage is not fixed, but this FTP server program works very well and i can copy files to Novo8.

- turn off novo8

- doing update.zip process without wiping partitions

- after reboot i don't see google apps in apps view.

It's not very clear with instructions and i know this must done before first boot, but it's not easy to prevent first boot. You may tell me what the correct way is to make Google apps (with Andriod Market / Google Play) visible.

Thank you.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] YetAnotherForumUser:
I'd just put Cheeyee's latest 2.3.4 release on it, this gives the best performance overall. If he's just going to be using it for games he won't need any of the extra glitz which ICS brings anyway.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ejblom:
Thanks! Is that the firmware that is found here?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] YetAnotherForumUser:
No, you'll find it in the related thread on the Chinadigitalcomm forum. As of now, the latest version is called 'patch8', available in several versions with different local storage sizes. There are some additional patches which introduce extra functionality as well as a collection of fixes which can be applied on top of the latest release. Have a look at that thread to learn a bit more about the history of this patch set.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ejblom:
Thanks again. If I understand correctly, I only need to perform the update8 and then 8c?

Or do I also have to apply the previous patches?

[edit]

Ah the size of Novo8_V2.3.4_3.98G_Patch8 is 176MB, so I guess the first patch serves as a base and the others (8b/c) can be used to additionally improve the tablet
[Miscellaneous Android Development] MrRimmer:
You only need to install patch8, then 8c.

I have stuck with this version as it is closest to being a usable system, except the kernel-level issues such as SD card resume problem.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] xd_1771:
There having been, so far, no possibility of stability for me on RC2, I'm skipping it for now.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ejblom:
Thanks, does the patch8 have any requirements? I am buying a second hand Novo8 and read that 2.3.4 has already been installed, will it hurt if the patch8 will be installed twice?

You mean the ICS RC2? If so, then I'm happy that I will pick the latest 2.3.4.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] YetAnotherForumUser:
If you buy a second-hand machine, I'd advise you to do a full wipe ('factory reset/cache clean') and install patch8 + patch8c, overclock if you want. You'll know what you're working with, and you won't have to cope with the previous owner's meddling. I tend to manually alter firmware images *after* I installed them, by removing all the stuff I don't want (social networking crap, phone stuff, etc), the previous owner of that Novo8 might have done the same...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ejblom:
Thanks, if I understand correctly, this full wipe option is on of the options that is supplied by the patches (since I am often seeing that wipe is not necessary).
[Miscellaneous Android Development] YetAnotherForumUser:
Full wipe is an option in the recovery menu. You generally don't need to do a full wipe if the firmware you install is a direct update from the version already on the machine (eg. 'patch5 -> patch6'). For 'major' updates or changes (eg Froyo -> Gingerbread or Stock -> Custom) a full wipe is strongly advised, as these updates can differ in file system type and allocation (eg YAFFS -> UBIFS or '2GB local -> 3.98GB local').

Install a backup program (eg. TitaniumBackup) and use that to create a backup of all installed software. This makes it easy to recreate the system after a full wipe. While you're at it, make a copy of the backup directory to another machine so you'll be able to recover from 'major disasters' as well. If there is software on the machine you bought you'd like to keep, you might as well install that backup program before doing the firmware upgrade. Don't forget to copy the backup software package (the actual apk file) to the sdcard as well to make it easier to re-install said program in case your new firmware does not already contain it (Cheeyee's does).
[Miscellaneous Android Development] xd_1771:
By instability what I mean is I am simply unable to get to the OS. It boot loops! :C
[Miscellaneous Android Development] h055:
It seems to me that you need to extract Cheeyee's powerpack from the downloaded powerpack-ics-rc2.zip which will greatly improve the touch screen precision but not jitter problem under long press. But you'll need to install it right away when you first flashing the ROM. Otherwise you'll probably having the additional keyboards problems when put them in use.

The same applied to Setting+Browser-signed.zip which could make the status bar disappear if you install it afterward.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] xd_1771:
Now that my issues with this ROM have been sorted I have a question. Is it possible to recognize NTFS formatted devices (an external HDD specifically) through USB? Could that feature possibly be incorporated?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] hillbeast:
NTFS is supported in the kernel, and is available in the stock ROM so of course it will work in ICS.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ReapersDeath:
Hey guys. Alot of these roms are 200mb's+ and i was wondering how to highly compress stuff? Ive seen files being cut in half from 200mb to 100mb and sometimes less. But i cant cant anything to do this. 7zip is garbage and only makes a 12.4mb file into a 12.3.. no point in compressing it. Ive also see a jpg compressed file go from 2gb to 500mb.. I would really like some help.. 7zip, winrar, and windows standard zip are all terrible. Although 7zip does the best, its still bad and they are 2008 programs.. 1 year in technology and programing is outdated and we have 10 times better things
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harbb:
Doesn't quite work the way you believe, and modern compression is nearly exactly the same as what we were using 1, 2 and even 5 years ago.

JPEG is a lossy compression method (you lose quality and gain compressibility, this is fine for a photo). MP3 is quite the same, and it is also generally fine for music. For files such as drivers, scripts, kernels and the such, we need lossless compression. This uses redundancy to compress, and once extracted you'll have exactly the same file as you did before (ie, no loss in quality). This is the same as FLACs and PNGs, for example. Compressing an already compressed jpeg will do practically nothing, it's already compressed. As with mp3s and flacs.

Text files and some binaries are often not compressed though. As a result, throwing a 20mb text file into 7zip will probably turn it into 3mb or so with moderate compression. If there is something to compress in a folder full of files (such as ROM files or even .zips), you will notice filesize will drop. For example, i half the size of my NANDROIDs by compressing them as .rars when i store them on my computer.

It's all about knowing what to compress and how. 7zip is a great compressor and is still very widely used today. For some good reads, Lossless and Lossy data compression.

I know there are a ton of these topics here, Still having problems.

I'm trying to push a apk to /system/app

First I used adb shell and used su to remount /system/app

example:

adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p9 /system

I did this part successfully. :)

Here is my proof:

The problem is I don't know how to push a *.apk thur a "adb shell". If I try, I get "push not found"

They only way I know how to push is using a regular linux terminal.

example:

linux_user:$ adb push /path/to/apk /system/app

however this only works on my Evo 4G (custom rom). On my Samsung Epic 4G (stock rom) I get a permission denied.

I tried adding a su like:

linux_user:$ adb [color=red]su[/color] push /path/to/apk /system/app

however, that does not seem to be a valid command.

I think I know what my problem is but I don't know how to solve it.

I think the problem is the default user is not #. For example in "adb shell" the default user is

$

and after su

it becomes

#

how do I fix this without switching to custom rom?

I hope I explained this in a way someone can understand.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Keypel:
Searched all over these forums and could not find a solution.

As a work around I installed an Android Terminal Emulator

Got this bad boy earlier and im still getting adjusted to the screen size. Being my first AT&T 4G LTE device i wanted to put it through the paces. Did a **** load of speedtests and the mean is in the range of 8Mbps-10 and a few spikes above that. Being that this is a 4G LTE next generation network I'm a little disappointed there. My XYBOARD consistently gets over 15Mbps. Hell, my old HTC Amaze on T-Mobile even got ridiculous 15+ Mbps speeds on HSPA+. What's wrong with AT&T's network? No one is even on it yet.

I'm in SoCal, specifically the Long Beach area. I'm seeing other people get downright stupid speeds of 50+ Mbps. What's the difference between my area and yours? Is it possible that AT&T has done more work on certain areas than others? I really hope these speeds increase in the future. 8-10Mbps isn't much better than what I get on HSPA+.

zte n720 sim unlock.

N720 can be unlocked by using an app "widget locker".

It can be downloaded here:-

www.indiasporting.com/apks/Lucky/WidgetLocker_Lockscreen_2.1.0_Full.apk

STEPS TO USE:-

1. Put an unsupported sim.

2. When it demands netlock code, go to airplane mode.

3. Then install this app and enable it.

(A symbol will be shown in statusbar)

4.Disable airplane mode and you can use sim.

Hope it will work.
