[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] G_I_A:
Hi guys, to cut it short I ran the .apk set the value (241) saved and restarted, then got black screen, unable to access SD card, but fastboot is ok. I have the Android SDK, the drivers are ok (at least the serial appears on Galaxy Nexus ToolKit v7.7) and I also have the yakju-jro03c-factory-3174c1e5 (jellybean stock image available from google website) but I'm still unable to flash the .img using the Toolkit. Am I doing something wrong? Is there an easier way to flash the stock rom? (I can access cwd recovery, but since I cannot access the SD card I think is useless so I need the fastboot option).

Thanks a lot! Any help is more than welcome.

Thanks, I'll try right away and update if it works.

Edit: worked like a charm, pretty easy, simple and straightforward.

Does this ROM have some Calendar provider? Most ROMs I have found for this tablet do not have "com.android.calendar" which causes an issue trying to sync calendars from Facebook, Google, or Exchange. Or is there any other way around it?

EDIT: This ROM appears to have everything I need, although I cannot get the WiFi to work properly, it connects and gets an IP address in my LAN but no Internet connectivity. Flashed a different ICS ROM on the tablet and it works just fine but doesn't have all the options I need like this one. Nextbook 8 P

EDIT2: Nevermind... Redid the installation procedure, then before the last reboot Cleared Cache/Factory Default and Cleared Dalvik Cache in CWM and things seem to be working now. Currently exploring, but like what I see so far!!!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] acejavelin:
This is by far the best, cleanest, and smoothest ROM for the Nextbook 8 Premium I have ever seen. It turns it into a whole new device!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] marxo:
Always my pleasure.

Thanks for all the feedback via PMs, but don't be shy to share the problems to the main thread.

You can also use this thread to make future requests, use it :D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] acejavelin:
Thanks!!! After playing with this ROM for a bit, I have had a few issues, none are real deal breakers though, here is a list of some of the things I have run across in my limited use over the last week or so.

1) Netflix doesn't work - It loads, I can log in, search, scroll around the titles, but I can't actually select anything, the app doesn't seem to recognize my touches for the movies, yet it does for text input and stuff. ** No fix/workaround

2) All third-party browsers are very slow and laggy, I have tried Dolphin for Pad, Maxthon Tablet, Chrome, and Opera, the embedded browser is kind of slow but always works, all the third party browsers seem to be slowed down even more with third party keyboard (Perfect Keyboard) with Opera and Chrome actually becoming unusable (misses keystrokes, screens won't update). ** Using embedded browser and stock keyboard most of the time

3) Gmail won't update, it starts the process but then pops up a window that says "Error - Package file was not signed correctly. Uninstall the previous copy of the app and try again." ** Just discovered this this morning, no fix/workaround as yet, but the embedded app works fine and Play doesn't prompt me to update all the time, so it's not really a necessity to fix it.

4) If you disconnect the power cord well the tablet is sleeping, it will still think it is charging when you wake it up, and continue to stay that way until you plug in the power cord and remove it well it's not sleeping. ** No fix, just annoying sometimes

Just the few things I have seen over the last week or so of using this off and on at work... Current configuration with this ROM includes: Fancy Widgets, Flash Player, Adobe Reader, Dolphin for Pad ßeta, ES File and Task Managers, Facebook, Kingston Office, Perfect Keyboard, Quick Boot, Simple Notepad, WiFi Analyzer, Weatherbug, and some games and other misc stuff.

On the good side, battery life is improved significantly on this ROM over stock, so is responsiveness and smoothness in the OS interface itself (settings, launcher, app drawer) and in most apps, and all the "regular" features of Android that are missing from the stock ROM, like the calendar, are here.

All in all I would recommend this ROM to most users, it won't make a $140 tablet a $500 iPad (nothing will), but it does makes it much more usable than the way it came out of the box... now if I could just figure out the Netflix issue.

EDIT: I have discovered that this tablet is essentially the Prestigio MultiPad PMP5080B Tablet, minus the HDMI output, and they have tons of firmware versions available on there website, exploring their current one now... http://www.prestigio.com/products/personal-computers/Tablet_PC/MultiPad_PMP5080B
[Miscellaneous Android Development] acejavelin:
Well, after 5 ROMs, including 3 ICS ROMs and 2 Gingerbread ROMs, I cannot get the latest version of Netflix to work on any of them except the stock GB 2.3.1 ROM that came with the tablet and even that is PAINFUL (extremely laggy, choppy video, won't do HQ)... Giving up on that and on to something else... Maybe NetFlix will work in a future release
[Miscellaneous Android Development] marxo:
Now this is what I call a feedback :D I know about most of these so I'll elaborate as much as I can.

1) Netflix - eFun knows about this and Nextbook 7 and Nextbook 8SE have gotten an update for Netflix, but nothing for Nextbook 8 Premium so far.

2) Browsers have some kind of an issue with RK2918 tablets (especially Chrome and Opera Mobile), kills me but I have no idea why that happens. One browser that will work and I use is Dolphin Engine Beta, and works really well, knowing that this tablet really has 274MB of RAM. Opera Mobile has some weird rendering bug, but I guess that the EGL driver is making them freeze.

3) Signature issue - This happens a lot lately and it's a Market related issue, but there is a fix. Go to Settings -> Applications -> Play Store and Clear all data, than reboot to recovery and Wipe Dalvik cache. You won't be seeing any of those anytime soon.

4) This is a kernel related issue, I've reviewed the code and there is no obvious reason for it to do that but it does, and yea, it's annoying as hell, but I can't pinpoint the issue.

What I am really interested in is where the hell is our 238MBs of RAM, and who's taken it :D I still can't figure out if they're misrepresenting it as 512MB tablet or the RAM is locked in kernels.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] acejavelin:
Yeah, could never understand the memory... always seemed really low for a "512MB" tablet. Have gone back to your ROM now, going to try those things and will let you know how it goes.

On another note, I was playing with the Prestigio PMP5080B ICS ROM, it is very snappy and works great, but couldn't seem to root it. I flashed CWM Recovery with RKAndroidTools (just flashed Recovery) but was never able to get into recovery (never tried adb reboot recovery though) to flash Superuser ZIP. I actually really liked that ROM but without being able to root it, it was not what I wanted.

Had a heck of a time getting Gmail to update... Tried what you said but still kept getting same signature issue, so I uninstalled GMail from firmware with TiBu, cleared all data on Play Store app, then rebooted into recovery, cleared cache and dalvik and then was finally able to install the gmail app via Play Store.

BTW, what are valid values for ro.sf.lcd_density? I tried 120 and it's right on the verge of being to small, but when I change it to 160 it's too big, and 140 makes the launcher crash.

EDIT: An interesting thing I have seen today as well, if the tablet is sleeping, and plugged in, when it gets to 100% charged, it reboots, then comes up to the lock screen and says 99%... The first time it happened I thought it was just a fluke and I blew it off, but it just happened again after sitting here next to me on the table for almost an hour without being touched.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] acejavelin:
Stupid question... how to I set the Region/Localization assigned to this tablet? I am trying to install Crackle (and a few other apps) and they say they are not available in my country, but they are.

Edit: Nevermind, Apparently it is based on the Provider Code, and I found this: Market Unlocker which allowed to me change it to Verizon (US), which is what carrier I use and where I am so, so should be good.

How would I go about changing this permanently in the ROM, not sure where it is stored?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] marxo:
Updating that GMail sure sounds like PITA. All that Market issues arereally boring, and I'll try and update most apks for the next revision, and try to avoid that signature thing.

Default ro.sf.lcd_density is 160 that's MDPI, that's the default for the tablet. I used 120 because it gives some space to the user to work, but it's LDPI and some people don't like it. So it's either 120 or 160.

I've seen my tablet do that once, and logcat gave me nothing. I'll probably have to hook it up and debug it a bit more.

I have a market-fix.sh that can do one value, and if I set to en_US it will be set to United States for everyone. I'm working out a way to prompt user to enter it's own on install, and if not possible I'll include something that can change the value.

Screen rotation issue

Great work! the only issue for me is the screen auto rotation does not work (Only sound sensor is supported by this rom). :good:

[Miscellaneous Android Development] jSterling:
This rom looks great, I love this community and what you guys do!

My girlfriend got one of these for XMAS and I told her I would look into modding it, it just seemed to bogged down and slow to be fully enjoyed, sounds like this ROM is going to do the trick though!

EDIT:

Ok so I just followed the directions to the letter, and this isn't my first time rooting or installing a rom. For some reason all it does now is nothing.. at first when I rebooted after flashing the ROM in recovery it would reboot right back into recovery. Now after a second wipe and an install of the ROM (Didn't do EXT4 again) it is just a black screen, can't enter recovery, PC doesn't pick it up when connected via USB. Is it on and maybe I need to drain the battery? I would really hate to of just ruined her tablet. I don't understand what could of went wrong...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] marxo:
First thing you need to do is make sure that her Nextbook isn't one of those "Black Friday Edition" thingies which is based on M3 Chip. This one is for RK2918-based ones only.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=34736965

It's a totally different device with the same name. Just for the record, I think that E-Fun has made the most incredibly stupid thing releasing a different device under the same name. Nice work dumbasses.

EDIT: If you don't know how, or can't check the software now, check the box out and see if it says M803HC or M805MC anywhere. Only the first one is supported, the other one is M3-based.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jSterling:
It does have the RK Cortex Chipset you were talking about, so not a black friday edition. Believe her mom bought it from a TV shopping network. Anyway, I got it to boot back up by letting the battery drain, so now I have the CWM recovery back but I still do full complete wipes, and install the ROM and it still won't work. No idea what's going on here. All it does is boot right back into CWM.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] marxo:
Does CWM give any kind of error? Try running format script first and then doing a full wipe, sometimes it does the trick.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jSterling:
Just be sure I did a full wipe of cache, dalvik, system, data, emmc. I flashed the ext4 and formatted and then did another full wipe. I then flashed the ROM, taking about 1-2 mins and then in CWM did a reboot. Screen went to black, AC Charger Light is on (it is plugged in) but screen is still just black. Been this way for about 3-4 mins now.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] marxo:
Can you dump a dmesg log? And logcat via DDMS if it registers it? I can't reproduce this behavior, and I've never encountered it before.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jSterling:
Fixed it by flashing with the tools that came with the "LIGHT ICS" rom at slatedroid. Then flashed the images without ext4. Apparently one of the images I flashed with the tools in light cms already had ext4
[Miscellaneous Android Development] marxo:
That weird since N8+ is EXT4 ROM, but it's good it works I guess :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jSterling:
Yeah, gives it a little better performance but still keeps it somewhat simple for my fiance. Good rom been using jt ever sense it was flashed, very stable and a great daily driver.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ddannelley:
Angry Birds

Tried running angry birds, the program starts then goes back to main screen. Is there a fix for this?

DD
[Miscellaneous Android Development] marxo:
I think it's out of memory response. I ran Angry Birds and they worked fine, but if I use a browser and Facebook for a bit, and run a game it doesn't have enough memory. Our tablet is getting old, and sometimes doesn't have enough memory to run stuff because of the background processes. A solution might be rebooting or removing some resource hungry apps.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Jess95:
Hey Marko, i really appreciate your effort on the rom.

However after ive installed both zips in touch recovery and power off or reboot it keeps taking me into the recovery again and not into the OS itself.

Any words of advice?

Edit: Gotten out of recovery, it was because i unchecked the box to format boot.img during step 7

Got it loaded up and testing now

Edit 2: So far so good and very happy with the rom at this point, but my g-sensor/rotation arent working, is there a fix?

It says on the first post that

does that mean i have to flash boot.img separately? I cant seem to find it anywhere.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Jess95:
2 - I can confirm Opera mini performs flawlessly, even on desktop pages, and has none of the issues as you stated. Except the screen would flicker black sometimes while in the menus and settings.

3 - I dont use Gmail but it's working for me, i recieved an error when i tried to update YouTube but the version this rom has is fine to begin with

4 - Not happening for me either
[Miscellaneous Android Development] -Jonny-:
Same here. Checked boot box and everything ok.

But, also can confirm g-sensor/rotation not working.

Anyone seen this?

I ordered one, because i was looking for quick insertion/quick removal (and i needed something that would accept the thickness of the 4200MAh hyperion battery w/case). I have to admit, it surprised me. Not only does it hold the s3 complete with the largest battery to date, but it holds it even over HARD bumps. (disclamer: my car is on racing coilovers, and there more than a few places of horrendous bumpiness on the way to work).

To make it work like an iBOLT (for my purposes) i have a usb cable ziptied to it (so i still have to plug it in like an iBOLT, and the wires are routed inside my dash for a relatively clean install), and since i bluetooth to my car, instead of audio in, I made a profile on tasker, that when it sees my alpine EX-10, it switches to carmode (as in what the iBOLT and other OEM chargers do), turns the volume up , turns on GPS, etc... and switches back when I leave. only thing is, i have to turn on bluetooth for it to work (but i do that anyway).

and the metal plates you need to make it mount? they fit perfectly inside the case, between the case and the phone.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] pizz0wn3d:
This looks very interesting, and I've been looking for a car mount recently. Any way you could post up some close up pictures of the part that holds the phone? It looks like a suction cup device, which makes me pretty skeptical of its effectiveness when used with a case that doesn't have a smooth surface for it to attach to.

I don't how many people who still use their cd player, but if you don't, this mount is amazingly effective:

I have been using it on the S3 now for a while and works flawlessly.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] scarrmrcc:
it is not a suction cup. it is a rubber foot, with neodymium magnets embedded. (hence the metal plates it provides.) the magnets hold the plate, and rubber foot keeps it from sliding, or scratching your phone. i will get a pic or 2 at lunch.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] scarrmrcc:
I looked into that, but my CD player drops these 2 locks over the slot (mitsubishi factory 6 disk changer) and would not allow the insertion of the mount.
