Awesome rom. I have ICS on my phone, but this thing really flies and is SMOOOOOTH! Hopefully someone comes up with a working build.prop to show the missing market apps and I will be one happy camper.

Thanks again, Khanning!

Hey, I just side-loaded Maps from an .apk that I pulled from my phone. It loaded right up and said "Updated to Latest Version". I can post the .apk if it isn't against the forum rules.

I really want to get ICS on my K1. But I want all the Google apps, the thread about that said it was no go. Is there an easy way to get them installed. Is CWM possible to flash to flash the gapps?
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] Hetalk:
Installation worked perfect. No issues.

Will post if I see anything else.

Amazing !!!

I could restore all the appz that i needed from my honeycomb version.

Used app backup and restore application from play store.

I could restore google maps and google earth from my phone's titanium backup to k1. Unbelievable.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] docfreed:
Were you able to get into CWM recovery using the special recovery app?
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] Hetalk:
I dont think CWM recovery can be installed like a simple apk file.

For that we'll wait for the devs to come up with something, and I'm sure they will.;)
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] docfreed:
Yes, I think that installation of khanning's new ICS overwrote the recovery partition and put back the original recovery. No biggie - I'll wait.

ICS ROM, copying files from PC, device suddenly BRICKED

I just flashed rooted rom... all was well... I then proceeded to copy some of the APKs off my Samsung GS3 to sideload on the K1. I was copying from phone to the K1 through a Win7x64 machine. In the middle of copying the files, K1 goes black and will not wake up. I hold power down and then power on. I get the Lenovo logo, but then nothing at all. Am going to try reflashing as it seems I can still get back into recovery mode.

Update: Reflashed with rooted ROM and everything seems back to normal. No idea what cause that glitch.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] Adrixan:
Is the ROM compatible with the 3g enabled version of the device too?
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] manooti:
awesome work! i did a post on the lenovo forums about how poor they do their jobs and the issues with releasing the full code for the device. i think now mark got the point and released it early so the devs can do their thing.

yeah it might have problems for some, but devs, especially open source devs working out of pure love of the tech, will always have an answer or a fix way sooner that corporate. i'm guessing thats why they released it with the issues.

it feels good to finally have them backing up their word, even if its a "little" late.

will be flashing as soon as i charge my battery :D
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] monkeybot:
Wooooooo!!!

Thank Khanning its really fast and smooth,i am very disappointing with lenovo.

Not sure if this is an issue witb the rom but when bluez ime and wifi are both connected wifi seems to drop out. Ill mess with it a bit more and ill see if it happens continually.

I've noticed that wifi seems to disconnect very rapidly if you are not actively using it (to save battery?). But it does seem to reconnect very quickly when I go back to a wifi app.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] khanning88:
Hi all,

Just wanted to post an update on my progress. I spent too much time looking into the app compatability issue with no progress so I had to move on for now.

This is the order I am tackling this new build:

Fix Custom Recovery - Completed

Rebuild device tree with new blobs - Completed

Complete stable ICS AOSP - In Progress

Complete stable JB AOSP - In Progress

The custom recovery.img we were using on past build no longer works with the new bootloader. Unfortunately, re-bulding the recovery with the new boot.img still would not allow me to boot into recovery. Turns out the issue was the kernel Lenovo provided was just too large to fit into the recovery partition. Mark released the kernel source code to me for testing and I was able to recompile the kernel with LZMA compression instead of GZIP. This reduced the size significantly, and now CWM recovery is fully functional.

I rebuilt my device tree with the new binaries included in the Lenovo ICS update. Between the updated libraries and the newer kernel there should be no issue compiling our own stable community AOSP rom for the K1.

I've compiled the initial version of ICS and JB with my rebuilt device tree. In the ICS build some issue's that plauged my ALPHA Rom are already resolved (HD Video Playback) and the Google Play store works perfectl (No app incompatibilities). There are still a few bugs that need to be worked out before a release.

The JB build also booted and appears very responsive, however it does have a few more bugs than the ICS build.

At this point my efforts will be directed towards completing and releasing the ICS AOSP rom and then onto jellybean. Once the device tree is completed it will be easy to compile other firmware's such as Cyanogenmod or AOKP if your interested.

Regards,

khanning
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] DrewVL:
Hi there,

Hope you could help me with my friend's K1, after installed to ICS official from Lenovo. Playstore is not there and when download apk there's no file manager to see it in app drawer. so I go on desktop browser to installed Astro File manager it's stalled but can't see in the K1 tablet.

Could you help please

Thanks,

Drew

Also is your non rooted version need certain steps to install it? and the google play apps work? sorry for the stupid question
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] erickwan:
khanning88,

So what can we do with the app incompatibility issue for now?

This issue is very annoying as I have to side-load those apps X(
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] khanning88:
The Lenovo version does not include Google Apps. If you use my non-rooted version it will come with Google Apps installed. There are some issues with app compatibility right now (Google Maps, Chrome, etc) but they can be sideloaded for the time being. I'm currently working on my own AOSP build, which does not have issues with app compatibility. Hopefully I will be able to release it soon.

For now just go to the first post and download K1_ICS_120607_Stock.zip and follow the instructions.

Unfortunately I can't figure out whats causing the issue on Lenovo's build. I tried everything I thought might be causing it. All I know is when I compile ICS from AOSP I do not have the issues with app compatibility. Maps, Chrome, etc all show up and install fine.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] erickwan:
One more question, what else needs to be fixed?
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] me_is_rushin:
This is awesome news Khanning! Glad someone out there is supporting my dear little tab. Just a college student here, but you can expect a donation coming your way once we get some AOSP goodness.

Thanks again!
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] Dueces99:
Phenomenal news khanning! Not only have you answered the call of fixing most of the ICS issues, but juggling that with JB?? I don't think this community realizes how fortunate we are to have such a devoted developer pumping new life into the K1. Again, if you need any kind of testing done flashing experimental early stage os's, my K1 is at your disposal.

Robert
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] mjb32803:
This ROM (rooted version) includes basic GApps (Play Store, Talk), you can then go and download Voice, etc (whichever ones the Play Store says are compatible with the K1). I believe the NON rooted version includes the full GApps?
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] zapher67:
Great work thanks khanning. Another hand up for testing should you require the help. ATM my k1 is ICS rooted and working but unusable due to the apps store issue. Holding off returning to HC for the moment.

APX drivers for Win7 64-bit?

Same issue here. Win7 64-bit.

---------- Post added at 03:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:38 PM ----------

I see people here and on the Lenovo site talking about 64-bit Win7 drivers, but so far haven't found anyone saying how they got them...other than "acer",....which isn't enough detail to be useful.

Can someone give a link to the APX drivers for 64-bit Win7? (I also use Mint Linux 64-bit, but haven't tried that bundle yet).

Thanks.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] mjb32803:
The APX drivers are part of the rom ZIP file in the folder /usbpcdriver. Both 32 and 64 bit drivers are there. Do not dive any deeper into the subfolders. Install the driver using the .inf file in the parent folder /usbpcdriver.

Some may experience a similar problem I had on my main PC. I have installed and uninstalled probably 5 or 6 different android usb drivers over the years.. and now my system would not even recognize when I plugged in the K1 in recovery mode. However, I STRONGLY suggest trying it on a VIRGIN machine. I did so on an Acer Windows 7 x64 netbook, and everything detected, installed and flashed flawlessly.

If this sounds like a situation you are experiencing. TRY A DIFFERENT MACHINE, preferably one that haven't had all different types of android drivers installed / uninstalled over the years. Windows may just be "confused".

Again, thanks KHanning for the awesome start. ICS is working pretty flawlessly from what I've been able to test. Font and Back Camera, GPS, GrooveIP, Bluetooth, Headset w/mic, GTalk, GVoice, GMaps, GMAIL, Chrome, Face Lock.... can access external SDCARD @ /mnt/SDCARD2. Both Internal and SDCARD show up when I connect data cable to windows 7 x64 machine.

Using Nova Launcher. Quadrant Score around 2500

K1 ICS Source :

K1 ICS Source
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] Dueces99:
Installation of this rom was painless, I flashed the rooted ics, moved the flash_win.bat file into the files root directory, for whatever reason running the .bat as Administrator (Win7x64/ opp. click 'Run As..') didn't do anything versus double clicking the file started right away.

To add on to the compatibility issue, I havent tried changing the build.prop just yet, wanted to see what was and wasnt showing up for apps. So far, Ive noticed the compability issue is not totally consistent. Any of the Angry Birds, most of the Weather Apps/Widgets (Paid and Free), show up as NOT compatible.

One consistent thing I have noticed (hopefully others can confirm this) is every Tool/Utility/Benchmark app I've tried is in fact compatible and shows up in the play store. Pretty much any app either directly linked/related to the hardware does show up. Off the top of my head ones Ive seen so far: Antutu, setCPU, BusyBox, Smart Tools, Quadrant, System Tuner... Might come to no surprise to someone else, but this is the only consistent thing I've seen so far when it comes to Apps that DO show up with an unaltered build.prop on the rooted khanning ICS rom. Hopefully this might help in determining the culprit for App compatibility.

Another note khanning, using the Camera Effects, any of the Silly Faces Ive tried crash the app instantly upon selection, although the Backgrounds in Effects do work looks like a poor attempt at a green screen but that seems application specific. Also, I can confirm like others' previous posts the Dictionary does show all my words as misspelled, didnt think it would effect but for Ex.: Installed a weather widget, went to add a location and typed my city/state = nothing showed up cause it was showing it as the wrong spelling, opted for the 'Find Me' location using gps = worked right away...

Either way, the rooted ICS rom runs extremely smooth, Quadrant score ~2450-2500. Even with live wallpaper, couple widgets, numerous apps/games/background processes running, flipping from one home screen to another or bringing up Apps/Widgets folder I still see no page tearing, no lag which would most definately be happening on my previous rom (14_14 rooted). Outside of the Camera effects, seems like I've been trying to crash this thing, freeze something, or lock up the system and it just keeps chugging along. I'm sure thats due most in part to Android's ICS itself, but Lenovo releasing it in the 'vanilla' state probably didnt hurt either.

The only thing I miss from the HC roms (OEMs or rooted) was the trademark nVidia logo/soundbyte that happens upon turning the tablet on. I understand this is a cosmetic critique while there's still bugs being worked out, I just share an affinity with nVidia/eVGA products and figured I'd throw the suggestion out there, do what you will with it..

All in all, EXTREMELY stable rom and cant wait to try out your AOSP ICS when it's available khanning. Lemme know if you need any testing, I'll have the next couple days off to tinker.

[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] Cybie257:
I've been playing around with the screen density issue and doesn't seem to change things. I've even downloaded an app from the market that makes changing the density a breeze with a few clicks, allowing me to test a lot of them. As of now, using Google Maps as a test app, nothing seems to change the compatibility issue.

Seems that this isn't a problem that is easily solved with a lot of devices and ROMs, including some custom ROMs. I've researched a lot into this hoping to provide a solution as I am very enthusiastic about learning to develop with my tablet. Tried with my phone in the past, but tough because I can't live without my phone, but I can without my tablet if I were to break it. Although, with APX recovery, it's tough to brick this thing. :)

I'm not giving up, though, so when/if I do find a solution before khanning comes out with his Custom ROM that doesn't have this issue, then I will post asap. It will be exciting to find a fix for all of you before khanning, who knows what he's doing... :D

Go to this link http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=35593

Click on the "Star this issue" for support. The more support for this, the more likely something might be done. The "Star this issue link" went away after I click on it, so I am guessing at the actual name. Just find the link that shows your support. :)

Hi there,

any 'official' word on what is best to do right now? Is a ROM release with CWM cooked in imminent? Or will the JB port be done soon? In other words, does it make sense to upgrade to this ROM or should I rather wait a few more days and get more complete goodness?

Thanks for any reply!
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] palmy999:
Ga-zillion thanks to khanning88 for the wonderful work.

Just FYi for those who has problem upgrading (since I "got banned" from Lenovo website from no reason at all - can read but website tells me I am banned when I tried to logon/register).

I had the APX driver from http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/IdeaPad...1-Stock-Rom-120109-Bootloader-Fix/td-p/713621

When I started flashing, the flash always stopped at "Formatting partition 12 UDA please wait.. done!"

After a couple of tries, I realized the version of APX is newer in Khanning's ZIP file. So I tried that but Windows 7 32bit tells me the driver is newer in my system.

After uninstalling the driver and tried Khanning's version, I still can't install it for some reason. Restarted K1 in APX mode, no go :(

So I reinstalled the driver from the above Lenovo thread and re-flash. This time it works!!!

Hope someone finds this helpful.

[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] Hetalk:
^^ You need to boot device to apx mode

1) turn off the device

2) connect to pc using usb cable

3) Press volumeup+volumedown+power button simultaneously. When prompted for apx drivers don't let system automatically find them. Instead lead the system to drivers provided in the zip file.

4) Once drivers are installed, run the batch file.

Make sure you read and understand all steps before proceeding.

AUG 31, 2012: Today someone has been hammering my box.com link to the build.prop file. I have disabled that link for download. If you need the file, it is on my server noted below

Due to the fact that there are a couple threads with similar interest with this, I am "cross-posting" per say. Please excuse this as I don't think starting a thread on this subject alone is logical and that XDA doesn't provide a K1-only forum.

ABOUT WWW.ANDROIDFILESHARE.COM

I'm experiencing issues with downloads stopping, or having errors, 23-24 MBs into the download. I haven't heard of others, but same results on my phone as there are on my home computer. (Verizon Network, and Comcast). So, I am assuming this isn't isolated to me trying to download the latest uploads...

Also, I am experiencing 60-80kb/sec downloads. This has something to do with the script, as I am able to download at 4.5-5.0 MB/sec via direct FTP from my server.

MY PLAN: To implement a better systems for hosting of these files.

TIMELINE: To be completed before this weekend is over (preferably before end of Friday Night)

Current Files: Will be transferred to new system and OP's/File Contributors notified of new download links to edit posts. If the new system will have registration, I will do my best to get such login/reg information transferred to new system.

Update : SUNDAY Aug 18 - www.androidfileshare.com is having issues. You can use something that is very simple at k1.androidfileshare.com if you wish. Simple, no login, and easy to use links given after upload.

Update: Aug 31, 2012 - WWW.ANDROIDFILESHARE.COM has been shut down. Please use K1.ANDROIDFILESHARE.COM instead. I have a simple file sharing/hosting script on that subdomain along with my custom PHP editing to show all files hosted with downloadable links.

Thank you. AND... Thank to those who have shown appreciation for giving the K1 community a file hosting option within my Dedicated Server.
