[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chicle_11:
I wouldn't remove webOS, not only for the reasons ve6ay stated above, but because I find webOS very useful. It is a useful and elegant os, battery life is much better, and that's the beauty of the TP, the ability to dual boot.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ve6ay:
The nice thing is, if you remove the Moboot entry for WebOS, you don't actually remove WebOS - you just remove the option to boot from it. BUT you also can bring it back with just a quick terminal command (I noticed this during my poke-around of /boot as I stated earlier).

Besides, if you want to skip it entirely, you can create two file in your /boot directory directly from your CM install.

I used Terminal Emulator, but you can from Root Explorer, too. Browse to /boot, mount it (hit the mount r/w button up top), hit Menu => Create New File. Call it "moboot.timeout" (without quotes). Long-press it, click Open With, choose Text Editor. In there, as the only line there, type in your timeout - (if you want it to be always super-fast, chose 1), then hit enter, back, then save.

Second file to create is one called moboot.next - which basically says "On next reboot, always choose <selection>" To use this, again, Menu => Create New File => Long-press it => Open With => Text Editor. In here, type in CyanogenMod, hit enter, back, save, and then reboot. On reboot, you should automatically go straight into Android, no options to go anywhere else.

Or, if you can stomach booting into WebOS long enough, install Cyboot from Preware, and use it to make your changes to the timeout and default boot options. I just did this, and can tell you, if you do set Next to Android, and timeout to something abysmally small, you automatically will boot into Android, no choice of anything else.

Hope that helps you, mate.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dem0s:
You REALLY don't want to do this, as stated above if something goes terribly wrong it's the only way to use ACMEInstaller and stuff. Even WebOS takes not much space and pretty cool, so i choose to leave it, but recovery is a must..

PROBLEM

---------

I recently bought the Ramos W13 8 inch tablet with Android 4.0.3. I was disappointed to note that it didn't have the Google Play Store on it. After trying to install it with Google Services Framework etc it still didn't seem to run.

Like an idiot I then got a modded firmware of another Ramos model (W6HD) which is a 7 inch and installed it through the UPDATE Mode (vol up and power). It installed and powers up to the android setup screen but is all messed up because of (I assume) the screen size difference. Touch screen doesn't seem to work either now.

Now for some reason I cannot get it to the UPDATE mode using the vol up and power button. When I do that it goes to a screen with an empty battery icon.

It might be that the Ramos W6HD requires a different method to get it into the update mode which is VOL+ and MENU while for my W13 it's VOL+ and POWER. And because the firmware I installed on my W13 is the one of W6HD it requires me to press the VOL+ and MENU but unfortunately my W13 doesn't have MENU button.

I can connect it to my computer through USB but not sure if it is debugging mode. I cannot get to the settings because the touch screen doesn't seem to work but I assume it is already in debugging mode because it gives an option to use USB for storage (in Chinese) once connected.

I've tried ADB once connected through USB but the command "ADB devices" shows no devices.

I'm sure there's a solution to this and I'm willing to pay $35 (Paypal) to anyone who can figure out a working solution.

Thanks,

Dan

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] utak3r:
Hm, "adb reboot recovery" should do... :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] designer_uk:
Thanks utak3r but the tablet does load up but I can't controll it using the touchscreen for some reason hence I can't get to settings to put on USB debug mode. I've tried connecting it anyway but the "adb devices" command doesn't come up with any devices.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks,

Dan
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] designer_uk:
No other suggestions? Is there any software/program I can use that can install the correct firmware (which I already have) without me needing to enable USB debugging?

There is an USB port on your tablet?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cam1pbell:
I had a similar problem when adb didn't see my device. I found the answer on you tube, it is the path of the adb folder. Once I figured that out I could see my device. So search you tube for adb. Good luck.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] designer_uk:
smaury - Yes it has a micro USB port.

cam1pbell - I tried looking on Youtube, tried uninstalling and reinstalling device drivers but no luck. Not sure if the tablet is in debugging mode, I assume it is but it may not be, if it's not I don't have any way of putting it in debugging mode as the touch screen is not functioning.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] smaury:
If you had a "normal" usb port you could connect a mouse or a keyboard to control the tab and change rom through dd command using a terminal emulator!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] designer_uk:
I just tried installing the PDAnet software and it keeps telling me to connect to the device and turn USB debugging on. So I guess the USB debugging isn't already on.

Hmm...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Bolerro:
What about: http://goclever.com/manuals/update_a73_en.pdf Point 2 ?

Does your microphone have special "button" ?

If yes, you can use Livesuit to upgrade your ROM via USB ( I know it is by ZIP in recovery), but you wouldn't know if you don't try :) You can find many ROM for 8inch- Cortex-A9 Tablets. And of course you can install recovery and try to install official updates ;)

PS: Sorry for my "english" : )
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] trofmoc:
Possible answer

try Droid Explorer ,should work for you
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] designer_uk:
trofmoc - I just tried that, it didn't work, it couldn't recognise my tablet.

Bollero - I have a little reset button on my tablet, don't think it's for upgrading. Where can I download Livesuit from? Also in the PDF it says I need to download a specific Livesuit for my tablet.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Bolerro:

And this rom:

Try try try :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] designer_uk:
I downloaded the Custom-ICS_4.0.3-Novo8-psquare_2.0RC1-signed ROM, is that the correct one? If so how do I install it with Livesuit? I tried pressing the little reset button, connecting it to computer with USB and releasing the button but it didn't seem to do anything. Then I tried the procedure with the VOLUME + button and the computer made a connection sound. So it seems to connect that way. Now how install the ROM?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] globula_neagra:
you should first learn what is adb and fastboot, and how to use this commands

i will take a look on the rom privided by bolero and see if i can make you something to work, but this tomorrow

it is bad that you dont have to many info about the tablet

like processor, android version etc.

the sound that you heard can be from 3 things

1. the device is in adb mode, you can check this by using the command adb devices

2. the device is in fastboot mode, you can check this by using the command

fastboot devices

3. the device in is programming mode.

Did you installed the tablet drivers ?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] designer_uk:
The sound it makes when I press the volume up button and connect it to computer with USB is like 3 quick low sounds (der der der) not the usual sound of USB connection.

I know the basics about adb. Neither adb devices or fastboot devices commands show any devices.

Yes the tablet drivers are installed but in device managr the "Android ADB Interface" and "Android Composite ADB Interface" both have issues and it says "This device cannot start. (Code 10)"

Here are the tablet specs:

Well, in case you still don't have (I know you can't install it yet) the official ICS firmware for your Ramos W13

here is the download link:

http://www.ramos.com.cn//download/w13/w13-4.0.3-20120410.rar

Here, the translated site from where I took the download link with installation instructions.

As I understand the translation:

1.download the ROM and extract it to an empty/formatted memory card (a sd TF card.) You probably need to put the contents of the folder you extracted from the rar file onto the sd card not the folder itself.

2.power off the tablet and insert the memory card

3.press and hold the Vol+ and power button until you see something like an upgrade going on.

4.wait until the tablet reboots.

Watch out that it is the Vol+ button. Usually the Vol- button brings your to the download menu where you can install a Kernel or ROM via ODIN or something else.

Of course, if it doesn't work I would try every other possible two button combination.

Here is the rather unhelpful chinese specs pdf: http://www.ramos.com.cn//download/pd/W13_product_description_cn_120202_D.pdf

Some specs from the current english website.

Concerning the drivers, did you make sure whether the usb driver for your tablet is present in the device manager? If there is one but with an error sign, the debugging mode is probably activated but proper drivers are missing.

In that case, maybe USBDeview can be of some use.

At last, maybe you would like to post in this forum as well.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] designer_uk:
Thanks for that, before this problem, I got the official Ramos W13 firmware and installed it using the VOL+ and POWER, then I accidently installed Ramos W6HD firmware and it all messed up and the VOL+ and POWER combination doesn't work for installing firmware anymore, it just shows an empty battery icon.

I've tried all combinations but no luck.

Android Composite ADB Interface driver are present in Device Manager but show issues and cannot start for some reason. I've tried USBDeview to remove the drivers and install them again but still no luck.

Thanks,

Dan
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] globula_neagra:
I hear the same sound when my tablet is in qualcomm programming mode or the boot.img is not the right one.

Do you have a reset buton ?

If we can get the tablet in fastboot mode i think we can reflash the recovery mode.

and then the rest of the things should be easy.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] designer_uk:
Yes I have a reset button.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] chrisrotolo:
this may not be any help, but worth a try.

I had a Dell streak 7 and it wouldnt allow you to enter recovery unless you had more than 50% battery, it would blink. you could try keeping it plugged in for awhile, if you havent already.

do you know exactly what you flashed? Kernel? bootloader? etc?

probably at least a kernely and probably a sbl, in which case your download/recovery modes would need the menu button as you said.

you can always tell the manufacturer, "I was just hooking it up to itunes to sync my music"....lololololol
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] globula_neagra:
he flashed a different version firmware, from a device that has a 7 inch, and his device has a 10 inch.

the key`s and touchscreen are not working

only the power button works

if i can get the adb working, i can flash the good recovery, and i should be able to recover the device.

maybe some of you know a biiger database of adb

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] caro_kann:
I'm taking a week of classes for work and would like to record the lectures (it is allowed) on video. While recording, I want to supplement the video with handwritten notes where appropriate. Has anyone seen an app that allows you to take notes that synchs with the video?

Thanks -
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] CideLode:
I too am in search of the perfect solution for taking lecture notes/audio/video. I've spent the last two days reading, searching, and testing apps. So far the best solution I have found is an app that will let me record audio while typing text notes (although my ATP's mic is terrible). The only solution I could come up with is to record video from my Razr and stitch the notes and video together after the class in Evernote or something similar.

I read at some point in the past two days about ICS not allowing the camera to operate in the background while using another app or when the screen turns off (tablet sleeps). I got burned on an app purchase because of this. The dev said it would still record while I did other things because the app ran as a "service". It didn't... cam stream would shut down if app wasn't active on the screen and it never would record to SD. I'm not going to name-and-shame the app here, but it seems we're both SOL for the moment. I'd sell a kidney to have an app that would allow video, external mic audio, and typed notes at the same time.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Moonbloom:
I have no idea if this will work or not, but it's worth a shot for you guys wanting this.

This is my idea:

Install "OverSkreen Browser", it's basicly an internet browser that works like a browser does on a PC, it adds a layer on top of the screen where the browser is in. So you can launch (for example) Youtube app, and have the OverSkreen browser sit on top of the YouTube app, being able to interact with both of the apps.

I do not know if this also works with the camera, but try it out (:

Just install the browser, set it up, launch the browser, click on home, launch the camera, press recent apps (or click the notification that comes up with overskreen browser) and click on it.

That would possibly allow you to record while also being able to take note in for example Google Docs.

- Moon
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] CideLode:
Well... the good news is that the Overskreen browser actually worked. I could successfully record 720p HD video in the background while running Evernote in the Overskreen browser.

The bad news is that the web version of Evernote sucks equally well in both the stock browser and Overskreen. I will have to find another web-based note taking solution if I'm going to solve my video recording problem while taking notes. Perhaps I might try Google Docs or SpringPad. SpringPad's new interface for taking lecture notes just doesn't look like it will work though.... since it's been Pinterest-ified.

On a side note, I was able to use Gmail successfully while recording 720p video in the background using Overskreen with minimal input lag... so there is hope. ;)

Any other suggestions on quality web-based note taking apps?
