you guys are the best, and although we don't have 4.1.2 yet, progress is in swing its only a matter of time:good:

try this we now have a full official guide!!!!!!

(well it tested on A110-07g08u, dunno about the other version? i think we may need a test run?)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heX79:
Well, a lot of the skills are Skellums, lol. I'm comfortable with adb/fastboot and a little familier with linux (although it's been years since I've used it as a daily driver, forgot a lot of commands), I write code for Windows via C++, C# and VB, my expertise is with hardware diagnostics, and software under a Windows environment.

But I'm used to messing around with this stuff, from all that I've learned by having the Nexus S. Android has only been part of my life for a year now, since I bought the NS.

I added a link to your guide to the other thread to bump it :)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heX79:
Ah yes, we should occasionally bump that thread. This thread has gone up a lot (in views) since we started this. Here's hoping we can attract a bit more help or guidance with 4.1.2!

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heX79:
Might have a free way to keep in touch!

For the last couple months, I've been testing out a free VoIP system that Dell sponsors.

To make an account, and get a local number generated, go to www.dellvoice.ca.

Once setup, search for "Fongo" on the play store, install it and sign in with your dellvoice credentials.

Fongo users can call and text each other for free, nationally accross Canada. Might be useful for the development backend of this project!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DjDom:
It would be useful, but it's easier if you just post here to keep everyone else informed.

Also, why don't you post that guide in the Android General Development section so that people see there's progress being made on this device, and we might finally get a subforum for ourselves. :)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heX79:
I agree, and progress would still be posted here! Even if it's not used for development, it's a great little VoIP that's just for us Canadians! And it works pretty darn well to. I call friends in BC, daily and spend hours on the phone! It only uses, roughly, 20MB per hour, so even on Data, 5 hours of talktime = 100MB

Feel free to link the tutorial anywhere you wish. :)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DjDom:
It's not that I want to link it. I'd rather post it there.

But, I think you should, since I am not the developer here. You should get the thanks, not me. :)

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heX79:
You can get Busybox here - As well as a description of what it is. :)

I believe the system update cannot be disabled, unless using a custom ROM which has disabled it. I may be wrong, however.

I believe you can ignore sudo being missing.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heX79:
You could try this first:

Search google play for: SuperSU

Download the app and install.

When it first runs, it will prompt to update the binary, just follow the screens, it may work. Else, go back to the recovery and flash the SuperSU zip file from the external sd.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
you can just flash over it, then uninstall/delete the superuser app and install the supersu app instead https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.supersu&feature=

I tried to get this working, but to no avail. It was showing up as a California number and didn't show many options to change it to a Canadian one without setting up routing stuff. The Dellvoice issues you a number, actually, you could probably just "make up" an account and create a Canadian number, regardless of your location. Could come in handy keeping in touch with any Canadian friends you might have. :D
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
ah, so your google voice number is a us number then. all you do is sign in with your google account, and it works(must have a google voice number though). i figured google would give canadians a canadian number, guess not. when was the last time you tried the app? i used it on my seven a few months back, and it had troubles. last week i installed it again, this time it works perfectly.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heX79:
I will give it a try again then. It was a few months back, that I last tried it. It was the number that threw me, I called my cell through gmail and it showed up from a Cali #..

If you're charging this device via USB plugged into your computer, you're only charging at 0.5amps. The stock wall adaptor, charges at 2 amps and will make a huge difference in charge times.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heX79:
Just take a look on the wall adaptors "output" to make sure you're using one with atleast 2.0 amps (factory). It's a large battery.

First i install apps to sd card however when i open the program it says "the device does not have a real primary external storage, or the primary external storage is emulated . Moving aps to SD is not supported on this device" Them was told by heX79 "Could be due to the SDHC's current format and partitions. Search the forum for "partition external sd card".

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DjDom:
If you are on 4.1.2, that will happen.

But since you're on 4.1.1, you may have messed something up. Are you flashing the correct SU? Following the guide posted a few pages back by hex?

There's gotta be a way, but I can't think of it.

That's a windows thing though, not android.

I know that I didn't even have to install the drivers manually. Windows did it for me. :)

CORRECTION -----------------------------------------------------------------------

Sorry, apparently I can't read.

Don't worry about that. As long as ADB detects your device with ADB Devices, you'll be fine.

Most of the time the drivers are installed correctly by Windows.

yeah it detects and installs the correct drivers for mass storage but it needed the drivers for usb/adb, everything good. ty

to touch on your last question..all i've heard it was glass but not sure about the quality.

Now here's my random question...does this device support multi-displays???
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heX79:
Install the driver first, so when you plug the device in, Windows has the correct files. Helps prevent issues with device manager. If the Acer setup asks you to plug it in (which it didn't for me) then do so.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajclai08:
I wasn't sure what acer setup you're talking about because it was just a folder with driver files in it. In device manager, under usb devices, once debugging is enable it saw the device, but had no driver installed. So i just manually pointed it to the folder and it installed. I guess i was originally asking where do i paste the folder.

You're right. I'll amend the tut to prevent confusion. Thanks!

getting a110

i am waiting for my tab to come in. so where do i start unlocking bootloader. my luck im getting 4.1.2
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fringle:
Unlocking the bootloader on 4.1.2 is the same process as 4.1.1. Check Hex's guide as it has all of the info.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fringle:
Still pretty new this this stuff so one thing I just realized is that you can boot image files from fastboot without actually flashing them to the device. I was able to boot stock recovery without actually flashing it back to the device and upon rebooting from there into recovery CWM is still there. So if someone on 4.1.2 wants to try. The img file must be in the same folder as fastboot, once the device is rebooted to the bootloader type in "fastboot boot imagename.img". If this boots it should tell if the boot.img file I posted will work on 4.1.2. And quite possibly solve the problems we are seeing.

If someone with more experience with fastboot wants to confirm this before anyone attempts it I'd appriciate it.

EDIT:

So I've been playing around, reverted to stock everything and unrooted but still on 4.1.1, and this allowed me to still boot cwm recovery without flashing it. Wondering what the results would be for others.
