[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] after_silence:
Drew99, cyanogenmod stops to put gapps starting from CM9. And for hd2 you have UNofficial rom, its not from cm team. So side developers can do whatever they want (but thats not right, we must to respect google rights), so i will not do this. Its not hard to flash them additionally.

Are you using my TWRP Recovery to make and restore backup?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Drew99:
Yes I use TWRP from first post

P.S. Do You mean that THIS rom - "official"? ;)
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] after_silence:
Drew99, no, i mean that im respect Google. Thats my last word about gapps :)

About backup: my second rom is official C170B009 and i can freely swap between CM9 and C170B009 without any problem :) May be TiJay have some specific changes, may be repartitioned layout or something else causing your problem. I have problem with lost+found folders only then i use cwm recovery with formatting of partitions. In twrp recovery i've made on default recursive deleting of files instead of formating of partitions, so this problem is bypassed in "dirty way" but its works, at least for me and for testers.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Drew99:
i try it later another time (but partitions sizes are not changed)

BTW when i analyzed backup files - and-sec.vfat.win, data.ext4.win, system.ext4.win - is compressed files (archives), but boot.emmc.win and cust.ext4.win - not an archive files (i made backup with compression option)

P.S. as for market app - it not to hard for me to put two files into system/app :)
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] after_silence:
About compression: as i know twrp recovery doesnt perform compression to "raw partitions" like boot.img and recovery.img. Later, cust.img is added additionally by me with some additional flags in make file so its quite reasonable that twrp will not make compression of "side" partitions, only for "stock" like system, data etc. But thats only my thoughts, im not using compression for backups :)
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Drew99:
Tomorrow i try to uncompress all images and restore to device.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] brainmaster:
I'm having troubles getting the WiFi working. It only says acquiring IP address, but that's all. After Reboot its the same.

Any thoughts?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] after_silence:
Mmm, i have it once but its started to work after trying to set IP manually and then back to auto. Anyway, I need to see logcat to try to find problem.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] brainmaster:
I have uploaded the logcat here.

It says: E/WifiHW ( 983): Unable to open connection to supplicant on "/data/system/wpa_supplicant/wlan0": No such file or directory
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] after_silence:
I was thinking that i have fixed this error already but seems no.. I'll think about it. Thx for logcat.

Added: here is what i have now with connected wifi:

D/wpa_supplicant( 3126): Initializing interface 'wlan0' conf '/data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf' driver 'wext' ctrl_interface 'N/A' bridge 'N/A'

There was a symlink in ramdisk: symlink /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant /data/system/wpa_supplicant - but i have deleted it and wifi starts to work. Strange that its appearing again.

Corn Flake, i have found why google play doesnt work sometimes. Its because of resetting date/time after reboot. If you will set right date/time after reboot - google apps will work. Or its better to set Use network-provided time so it will be auto updated on wifi connected.

I still dont know why time resetting after reboot. I have found that huawei use specific place for saving date/time: tmpdata/time. So i thought if i will change it to default: /data/time - so it should not resetting, but no, that doesnt help.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Corn Flake:
I'm not sure if this is what you exactly need (I'm noob) but this is when I started dropbox and then google play.

[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] omnied:
looks nice, twrp makes backup right now.

and i have one question - what about merging 4.1_r1 source tree or make a build cm10?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] after_silence:
There is no point to move forward until i will fix radio, bluetooth and other big problems.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Corn Flake:
Yes, it works with correct date, thanks.

And what about 3G data - will it work? It isn't in working list but it also isn't in not working list and I can't test it right now but I'll need to use it after few days.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] after_silence:
Its listed in not working as Radio. Dont know for now how to fix.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] omnied:
just installed 03082012 build with this kernel, looks nice

except wifi and small size of desktop for place a shortcuts.

video, audio plays very nice, include 720p
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] after_silence:
Some good news: i have fixed radio, but no data connection for now (2g/3g). I think it will be solved soon :)
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] brainmaster:
Good news, and what about WiFi?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] after_silence:
Try to set IP manually or reboot router, may be there are problems with dhcp, for me its working now. Im using wpa2 encryption by the way.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] bart594:
maybe this is the cure for broken Off-animation?

https://github.com/simone201/neak-ics-kernel/commit/afe8c214bede59eea0b3ada0096c17502e21d29c
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] after_silence:
Mmm, dont know, i have just disabled it on default because its turning off in "landscape mode" even when tablet is in portrait, so its not good looking.

Im using now your kernel with cm9 rom - everything seems ok, even gallery is no more glithing :) So if you are not against - i will add your kernel sources to build along with compiling a cm9 rom, ok?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] bart594:
ahh this is something else then and probably not kernel related

this thing with gallery is weird most times unaware i'm breaking something not fixing ;)

of course you can use my sources!
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] omnied:
unable to enable usb debug for adb/fastboot, device going to reboot without saving option
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] after_silence:
But its enabled on default just after flashing (and works for me normally), and in fastboot you are using fastboot, not adb :)
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] sergej_7:
my sdcard is showing up as empty in twrp what did i wrong?

nvm.. in twrp i removed sdcard and inserted it again, advanced tab mount sdcard checkbox
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] after_silence:
It seems that wifi have problems indeed sometimes, here is dmesg when its cant connect:http://pastebin.com/Zq4JAkbe..
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] brainmaster:
The trouble is - I don't even get the menu for the WiFi options so that I can set the IP manually.

Any ETA for the next CM9 build with the new kernel? If its coming in the next few days, I'll wait with the wiping and flashing from the scratch.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] after_silence:
May be you are using version not from 03.08.2012? Because i've partially fixed wifi only at 03.08.2012.

About new version.. dont know, im running now it, but there are too small changes from last version, only radio and new kernel. I think that I will try tomorrow a couple of things to fix time and may be something more and will upload it here.

Today will be update with some fixes :)
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] after_silence:

[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] joytest:
Thank you for all the great work you have put in.:good:
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] bart594:
It's getting better and better. Keep digging!
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] after_silence:
Next update will include fix for Usb connection to pc :)
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] brainmaster:
Thanks, great news. I can also confirm that the Static IP for WiFi gets the WiFi working for me, but DHCP not.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] after_silence:
The problem is in your router, because on cm9 now after every reboot device gets new mac address, and routers dont like that (especially then you use firewall for mac addresses) and it stops to give IP until reboot or may be at all, depends on your router.

Im searching for solution to get "original" mac from device or to set random mac persistent so it will not be changed after reboot, but only after wipe data for example.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] omnied:
about random mac on wifi i found one solution, but for gingerbread:(, thats suddenly doesn't work on our ics/cm9.

i think there are another scenarios for generating random mac's for wifi:

1. due misspelling in android init params, each build think's that it is running in virtual hw environment, so do new mac-address on network interface up/down

2. wifi kernel driver missing something, or configured in not right way.

and current status of my mediapad:

stock: wifi works perfectly, sometimes over 20 mb/s, everything ok

cm9 with latest kernel: random mac, router's acl by mac denies access,

and some messages in dmesg about a wrong commands send to, i suppose, wpa ctl about adjusting parameters of transmitting media.

btw, my router works perfectly:

notebook sony va-fe21sr via intel 2100,

motorola defy with cm10,

stock mediapad,

neighbor's archos 10" pad works perfectly over 3 walls,

stock defy also looks good in this way,

usb stick asus wl-167g,

and i just forget about my dlink 628, because it's just work with another devices until acl rules accepts them
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] after_silence:
Wifi driver kernel is untouched from stock rom, so no problem there. I think problem in cm9 sources, as i read that some vendors using proprietary methods to write/read mac address, so i think we have something similar here too. Need to dig in cm9 sources something..

Here http://rootzwiki.com/topic/5650-wip-guide-nvs-map-creation-aka-how-i-fixed-my-wifimac-issues/ is hack that must to work, but he dont :)

About working of wifi in cm9: Ok, but why for me its working? I can freely connect/disconnect then again connect to wifi w/o any problems :) Or its my super Zyxel Keenetic Giga rules the world? :D
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] bart594:
this WIFI driver could be the reason. how knows what they (Huawei) implemented there and on the ROM side

driver compiled from source has 300 KB and Huawei's 2 MB!
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Kiristiba:
hi, very good work so far :)

What happens if you compile the Wifi driver separately without any compiler optimizations?

I don't know if it is already known but auto brightness isn't working atm.

It only switches to the darkest possible value and stays there.

greetings :)
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] kingohearts2005:
I'm getting random reboots. I think it is kernel related. I had installed the Olympic kernel prior to installing cm9 while I was running osimod and I began to get random reboots. It was doing this even while not ovrrclocked and running on demand governor. So I did full wipe as the instructions say and flashed cm9 and I still get random reboot and I am not over locked. Any suggestions?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] dark_fighter:
how can I change resolution back to 1280x800?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] after_silence:
Yeah, now i have reboots too, i will try to run stock kernel to see if there are reboots happens.

dark_fighter, just change in build.prop:

from

ro.sf.lcd_density=213

to

#ro.sf.lcd_density=213

If anyone else have reboots too, try pls this almost stock kernel with arkusuma's touch fix and usb connection fix (updated 10.08 with truly fixed usb connection :) and tell me how is it.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] dark_fighter:
thank you very much for your answer after_silence, it really help me!

But i get random reboots too, I haven't try your "fix" though, yet, i'll test it and i'll post back.

But I have an other problem, each time that my hmp boot after the pin for the sim card it asks me to give a "sim network unlocking pin". Dahuq is this??

Thanks again...

Also, I can't acces my sim contacts through the default dialer, I haven't tried yet an other one. I also have random fc's on varius apps.

Hope this info helps :D
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] sergej_7:
Trebuchet is Phone UI

Titanium Backup only works with sdcard and not with internal memory

maybe you could add this info in the first post, if im wrong then correct me pls :P
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Rumbi:
I'm really impressed so far with your build. Had it running with WLAN the whole day and didn't have any reboots :) Is there a way to donate to you?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] after_silence:
Are you using kernel from alpha 1 or attached above?

About donate: im living in Russia and here we can not recieve money to paypal. But its not important because im just glad that somebody like my work :)

xdauser7, phone ui is present, about TB - not sure, because anyway its better to store backup on external big sd.

dark_fighter, i have not seen sim network unlocking pin problem for me.

But thx for all info.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Rumbi:
I'm using the Alpha1 from first post. No extra Kernel etc. Just the provided zip. But had to set a static IP for WLAN. Otherwise my router goes crazy. ;) And I would prefer it, if the next build has the HD-Mode (#ro.sf.lcd_density=213) enabled by default. :)
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] after_silence:
Rumbi i'll think about hd mode.. but im using 213 because hd on 7" for me is too small.

I hope that soon there will be new build with some fixes :)
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] after_silence:
CM9 for Huawei Mediapad - Alpha 2.

- fixed USB connection to PC;

- fixed GPS;

- fixed USB-host;

- fixed "phone UI" of cm9 launcher to "tablet" one (now you can adjust grid size, default is 6x6);

---------- Post added at 11:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:08 PM ----------

is this problem avaliable with any screen density? (try to check with 240 or 160)
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] after_silence:
It seems that its a dpi problem.. i will change it back to 213 and reupload again.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Drew99:
check this thread, maybe it will be usefull
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] after_silence:
Thx, but i will not include custom market anyway :)
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Drew99:
why are you doing this "unofficial" rom? :)

(huawei will cry ;) )

P.S. is there any chances to fix "random mac" problem?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] after_silence:
Well, hope dies last. Chances are always exist.

Alpha 2 reuploaded with lcd dencity 213 to avoid problems with market.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Drew99:
maybe possible as temporary solution use any fixed "fake" address (like AA-BB-CC-DD-EE-FF)

as I remember it was used in early custom kernels for HD2
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] athanaso77:
Bluetooth is very important for many of us. Let's hope for a solution soon!
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] after_silence:
I have fixed bluetooth just now :)
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] kingohearts2005:
Wow!!!! I'm going to download as soon as you upload with the fix. That's all I've been waiting for. Amazing work.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] hamdimo:
It's amazing what after_silence did on this ROM, but i have one question, will this ever be OFFICIAL, and if so when? if not why?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] athanaso77:
Great news, waiting for updated rom. :)
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] 441Excelsior:
is sd card required to make twrp backup? or i can place it on internal memory?what is the size of backup?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] after_silence:
Its will be possible only if someone from CM team will buy this tablet and start to develop rom for it.

Sdcard is required and the size is depends on size of your system, data, data/share (internal sd) and cache partitions.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] brainmaster:

[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] after_silence:
Hi, I'm glad that your mediapad is back and you are want to help, i will check github as soon as i can :)
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] kingohearts2005:
There are a couple things that I would like to address. Is there anyway that when using the phone dialer you could stop it from going into landscape mode?it make its hard to use especially if I click on a dialed sent/received number to get my options. I can't scroll or anything. Can't even message a recent called number because it flips everything to landscape.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] MrColdbird:
This build of yours is awesome.

For me its a lot more stable than the official ICS build, WLAN doesn't drop anymore when no SIM card is inserted and so far I didn't have a single random reboot...

Bluetooth works great - when I first switched to this CM9 rom I was scared my bluetooth headset would stop functioning, but it works just as nicely as it always did!

This is stable goodness, everything from here on out is nothing but eyecandy (fixing the slightly distorted application previews, camera previews, etc).

You did a great job so far. This will be my new daily driver.

PS. this build is smooth as hell too, the GUI is a lot more responsive than on the retail builds.

Osimood to CM9

Hi,

I'm currently using Osimood's ROM on my mediapad. Can you provide instructions on how to install your ROM?

TWRP Recovery

Please how boot to TWRP Recovery? Fastboot say on both OK but i dont know how boot to recovery.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] nightanole:
if you flashed recovery and recovery2, then just hold down the opposite volume button that you hold down for fastboot mode when cold booting or rebooting.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] cmstlist:
Does the included TWRP do complete proper backups of the app data for when I restore to stock later?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Corn Flake:
cmstlist: Yes, it will restore everything.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] cmstlist:
Thanks. Also is Titanium Backup able to parse those nandroid backups for selective data restore, the same way it can with CWM backups?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Vampyr:
How install apps on external SD Card?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] bart594:
my findings:

- no sound in movies with hardware decoding

- vol keys are other way around than on stock i think

- after wipining dalvik cache black screen on boot i needed to install cm9 once more

- sometimes after installation of the package tablet rebooting constantly into recovery, removing sdcard helps (but the package is not installed)
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] after_silence:
Yeah, its can.

Some apps (but not all) are automatically uses external sd as storage for their data: for ex. games like Max Payne, Gta3 etc. So all "heavy" data is placed there and there are a lot of space in internal storage.

1. Im using Dice player for watching films/serials in 480p/720p/1080p in avi/mkv formats and there are everything ok with sound. What player are u using so i can reproduce an error?

2. For me this way of volume keys is the best for mediapad, because im using it very frequently in portrait mode. On stock rom im confused with them very often.

3. Have tried wipe cahe/dalvik cache for a very many times - no problems have been seen.

4. And no problems with installing apps :)

About two last problems - may be there are a problem in your sdcard? Try to check it on errors from PC :)
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] after_silence:
Some offtop, i think that all of you will understand what im talking about from first glance ;)
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] brainmaster:
Very nice. Everything working fine? When can we expect it?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Corn Flake:
Very nice offtopic :)
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] after_silence:
Ahha, i dont think that this will happen soon, because there are really big problems with display/hardware acceleration. There are needed serious changes in kernel.

Cant test it much because of glitches with screen and because current composition type is very slow, but i noticed that sound, vibro, wifi, auto rotation and radio(!!!) are works.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] MrColdbird:
Cool. Good job.

Looking forward to it.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] turruso:
