[Android General] zcink:
I agree with you. Sort of insulting to the guy who released it. Doesn't really encourage him to develop or release anything further if people are calling his wonderful rom "fake".

I've been using it and it runs great. Yes, it does have some bugs. Had some random reboots and screen freezes but overall it works very well.

Newbee question.

Flashed kasty 3.0 for version 2 tablet.

There is the arctools program. In that program i could instal TWRP for android 4.2.

Question is SHOULD i ? Does it work ?

Or should i go to arc website for this question ?
[Android General] Cracksoldier:
Hi today I updated my Tablet to the latest firmware version but now my camera doesnt work anymore.

Does anybody have the same problem?
[Android General] PassieWater:
Got a problem

Flashed kasty v3.0 and now my camera doesnt work..."no external storage". In settings>>storage the external sd is shown but it doesnt say how much space is available. In es explorer the sd card is present and i can write and read it.

What is going on ?
[Android General] dancrow:
Please HEEEEELP!

I upgrade to version 4.2.2. from here

BIG MISTAKE!

Wireless and camera doesn't work with v1 and v2 also.

When switching WI-FI On/Off button to ON position, after few seconds it comes back to OFF position automatically.

I also have to mention that my tablet is Allview with similar configuration as Onda V972.

Foolish me, I don't have a backup of original ROM (it wasn't root-it by default)

Any suggestions?
[Android General] zsnorbi:
Well dude you really made a big mistake. As you said onda v972 and the allview tablet are only similar but not the same. Allview has bt chip also and probably has some difference in wifi and camera kernel like between v1 and v2 tablets. Also as far as i know by this you lost allview factory warranty because they doesnt even allow rooting their devices. Now you should live with these issues, wait for allview to release their own update to 4.2.2 or you may try requesting a firmware reflash from them but because their warranty policy this maybe will be only if you pay this operation.

Your only chance to revigorate yourselyour tablet if you request a backup from another allview tablet holder or at last chance you may try cm10 build for onda v972 that maybe will work on your tablet too.
[Android General] KnieveI:
Yes.

You got to find an orginal rom for your device and flash with phoenix.

Allview is pretty different from our Onda V972.

But im sure you gonna find it.

Thanks

Knievel
[Android General] hurray:
Please make sure that you are using the correct firmware for your tablet!

I post the new roms for the V973 and not the V972. :cool:

The Hardware of the V973 is the same as V972 with the difference of the batterie and the touch- and g-sensors are turned by 180°. So there is the need of another firmware than the V972.
[Android General] dancrow:
[MENTION=3330945]zsnorbi[/MENTION]

[Android General] PassieWater:
Did not use your link. Downloaded directly from arctablets in section for v972 v2 tablets.

Editie

Did a reflash...everything is oké now !
[Android General] KnieveI:
Cant see why a CM build would work any better on your device, sorry.

You could ask CT to make a comp zip for your Allview. But then you need a stock rom first.

Better start search for a orginal firmware.

Does Allview make any hardware changes on their tablets or do they just rename it ?

Thanks

WIFI drivers for JB 4.2.2 (Allview)

Thanks guys for your answers!

I suppose that Allview change the original wifi and camera hardware of Onda V972 tablet.

Did anybody knows how to find and install the correct drivers for a typical hardware?

Poor 2D !!!!

Does someone have a link (ie dropbox) for kasty onda V2.0 for v2 onda ?

i got really BAD 2D graphics.... try "bingo bash" for example....pffffff

Maybe V2.0 kasty onda may work better...????

Tried different settings in "development" but nothing seems to improve 2D performance

Any ideas ?
[Android General] KnieveI:

Cant read.

Thanks

Knievel
[Android General] PassieWater:
Hi Knievel...

Yes tried that....no better performance.

When i use the tablet for internet everything is fine...but in gaming its VERY poor. My Haipad AK97 (dual core) kicks this onda's ass....i'm very disappointed in its performance for graphics.

I wanted to try the Super Nova 4.1 ROM....but when flashed...the touchscreen didnt respond at all.....i used the rom for v2 onda tablets.

Antutu graphics score on onda are 994 2D and 3011 3D

On Haipad 1288 2D and 3735 3D

Are those normal scores for Onda V972 ?.

---------- Post added at 01:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:43 PM ----------

Cant read ?????
[Android General] KnieveI:
Sorry was in a hurry.

Some games run good on the Onda , as RR3 . But my Pipo with Mali gpu dosent handle it well with standard configuration.

Have heard something about games orginally written for I Pad (with same gpu as our Onda) also runs better when ported to Android on tablets with SGX gpu.

Does your Haipad have Mali gpu? I am no dev so this could be wrong.

A31 should have capasity to run almost whatever you throw at it with no problems.

I think we have to wait for more mature software.

Anyway the A31 handles the retina screen pretty good even with a low benchmark score.

With a higher cpu clock it should be even better. My ondas scores about 11000.

Thats about same as my RK3188 s on 1ghz.

About your screen problem it sounds like vrong version or a bad download. Did you wipe?

Thanks

Knievel
[Android General] PassieWater:
Yes rhe Haipad has mali gpu and dual cores run at 1.6 ghz.

My onda scores 10600 and the haipad 12000.

Do you have kasty or sn as rom ? I think i have the right download. Did full wipe yes. I read somewhere that you have to go back to stock first before flashing supernova. But stock rom v3 doesnt have root so i cant flash cwm with arctools.
[Android General] KnieveI:
It dosent have to be stock, but stock 4.2 based with new bootloader, and flashed with Phoenix. Like kasty.

I got root on stock 4.2 with Onda Alwinner A31 root v1.0.zip from HTC Mania forum.

Also a similar zip that changes the bootanimation can be used.

Thanks

If your device has RTL8188eu or RTL8192cu wifi module and you have original firmware image there's a chance to make it working
[Android General] dancrow:
This is the biggest problem. I lost (replaced without backup ) the original firmware, and I don't have from where to get it. It's not on Allview site either.

1. How can I find witch wifi module do I have?

2. How can I intall the right driver when (if) I find it?

Another thing: I install CMX CLANGA 097—2016 firmware and I fix the camera issue,but I still can't enable wifi module.

Thank you very much for your answer!

Sent from my U8836D
[Android General] lolet:
Simplest way is to open device's cover and check inprint on the chip. If you wanna fix camera issue, do following steps:

1. Install old firmware, make sure device is rooted

2. in adb shell type:

busybox mkdir /mnt/tmp
mount -oloop -tvfat /dev/block/nanda /mnt/tmp
busybox cp /mnt/tmp/script.bin /sdcard/
umount /mnt/tmp

3. Copy script.bin from sdcard to your computer

4. Install new firmware, copy script.bin to sdcard

5. In rooted shell type:

busybox mkdir /mnt/tmp
mount -oloop -tvfat /dev/block/nanda /mnt/tmp
busybox cp /sdcard/script.bin /mnt/tmp/
busybox touch -r /mnt/tmp/magic.bin /mnt/tmp/script.bin
umount /mnt/tmp
reboot

6. Camera should be working
[Android General] dancrow:
I already fix the camera issue! :highfive:

Now I have one more step: the wifi module. When I will open the case I will inform you about the wifi module type.

Thank you once again!
[Android General] dancrow:
I didn't open the cover of the device, but I did a logcat command while trying to activate the wifi in settings.

Here is the logcat : http://pastebin.com/BJG7Sc9w

Hope it will help anyone who can understand this!

What I notice is 8188eu.ko module and couple of

D/WifiHW ( 2162): faied to read proc/net/wireless

D/WifiHW ( 2162): loading wifi driver...

Thanks!
[Android General] lolet:
Hmm from your logcat I found out the wifi module is RTL8723au. I don't know what drivers are built with your firmware, but in my there is 8723au.ko in /system/vendor/modules/, if you have that file in yours, try to remove 8188eu.ko, then rename 8723au.ko to 8188eu.ko, reboot and check if that helped.

Onda v3 (4.2.2) update needs rooting. Here's how!

In the event you have Phoenix flashed the latest Onda upgrades on their quad-core series (V972, V812, V811, etc) tablets you may have discovered that this Jellybean 4.2.2 (V3) update is not rooted. After various failed attempts at rooting I did more research. I found this solution here that works well, however, the instructions are in Chinese, so I will interpret.

1. Download the "ROOT_Core4.rar" file and unzip it. It will be in Chinese but trust me as that's what it says, when you unzip it the English titled file will be there. All you need from the unzipped files is that update file called "ROOT_Core4.zip". The other file is these instructions in Chinese.

2. After flashing your tablet with the Onda firmware v3 for your model, be sure that settings/developer options/USB debugging is checked in settings.

3. Connect your tablet via usb to your computer and be sure your usb connection is set for "media device" on your tablet

4. Copy over the file "ROOT_Core4.zip" to the root of your tablet's SD card memory

5. Disconnect from the computer

6. Go to the "Update" app and chose "local", and navigate to the file that you just copied to your sdcard, and select it

7. Select "update". The tablet will exit and reboot to the stock recovery and execute the root.zip file. When it finishes the tablet will reboot back to Android jellybean

8. Go to /settings/backup & reset and do a "factory reset". You do NOT need to erase your SDcard. Again, the tablet will reboot into recovery and perform the factory reset and reboot again

9. Once the tablet reboots to Android jellybean, you should have root. There will be a Chinese version of SuperUser in your app drawer. However, go ahead to the Play Store and download an English version of SuperSU (which I use). The first time you use the English Superuser app, the Chinese app will appear requesting you grant superuser privileges. Click in the Left block once, then again. At that point, the English version will take over superuser settings and you can uninstall the Chinese version. It's a bluish icon that says "Root".

10. Download the Root Checker app from the play store to verify and you should have root, no problem.

I tried various other rooting apps from all over the place but this was the only process that worked. I have found that my tablet runs better using the stock rom than SuperNova, Kasty-Onda, or their derivatives. The same is true for v3, 4.2.2. My V812 performs flawlessly and faster than it did on 4.1. Stock works for me! From what I can tell, this rooting software and procedure works on all Onda Quad-core "V" Series tablets running the Phoenix flashed jb4.2.2 update.

Now that you are rooted you can install ArcTools, CWM Recovery, and Titanium Backup and other apps that require root to work. Enjoy!
[Android General] dancrow:
Nope!

Doesn't work.

I have these modules: 8188eu, 8189es, 8192cu, 8723as, 8723au

I also have to tale you that I apply these pach and as I said before, my tablet is an Allview (romanian) kind of Onda V972. I said Kind of because I have 2 front and back camera both with 2Mpixel not 2 and 5 like Onda V972

OEM Onda tablets

All OEM Onda tablets have 2.0/2.0 Mp cameras - for example russian teXet TM-9751HD - big OEM partner

[Android General] Zakotaa:
I used following method to root my onda 972 after flashing stock v3.0 (4.2.2).

After flashing the image through Phoneix, connect the device to computer and copy "ROOT_Limpieza_Logo_V3.zip" to the root of sdcard.

Power off the device and power back on into stock recovery (press and hold home button while powering on the device)

Select "Install from SD card" option, and choose "ROOT_Limpieza_Logo_V3.zip"

It will copy the root files and will auto reboot.

and wholaaa, your device is rooted. Install the recovery of your choice and start having fun with different ROMs.
[Android General] valkos:
I do not know what tablets you use and what firmwares, but as I understood before, you have OEM Onda tablets and do not have factory firmware.

So you trying to adapt Onda's factory firmware to your OEM tablets, which have different hardware - wi-fi module and camera, yes?

What to do:

- use ONDA factory script.bin (I attached it from 972Q) - script.bin is inside bootloader.fex in factory image - and in partition /nanda on tablet

- because you erase OEM firmware, you can't copy OEM partition from tablet to compare with factory script.bin

- find somebody who has OEM firmware installed and ask to copy bootloader to you

- after that compare factory and OEM script.bin to find difference in sections

- replace Onda script.bin sections by difference from OEM script.bin - in that way you'll receive Onda factory script.bin adapted to your OEM tablets

- repeat it for sys_config.fex

- after that you can use any of ONDA factory firmwares to make OEM firmwares

I understand what it's a hard way, but the only one in case your OEM site is down.

Also, as I know 971Q has 2.0MP camera

Script.bin converted to script.fex from V972Core4-V1_v2.0.img.dump (open with Notepad)

Look for [wifi_para]
[Android General] dancrow:
You're right!

The biggest problem is that I didn't find anyone available to share the original firmware for my tablet (Allview speed 3 quad). The support page of Allview doesn't provide the original firmware. I hope that in the near feature they will manage to update to JB 4.2.2 (from 4.1 now).

Thanks anyway!

[Android General] valkos:
Advice:

In case you'll have update 4.2.2 - send it for me or use slatedroid Onda Kitchen A31-A31s to obtain script.fex and sys_config.fex - save script.fex and sys_config.fex.

In the future you can use any of Onda factory firmwares or custom firmwares with your OEM tablet w/o any issues.

Thanks for the useful info. I tried the Stock ROM 3.0 for awhile and switched over to Kasty 3.0; thinking that it would be better since the unwanted apps had been removed. Unfortunately my experience with the custom ROM was somewhat erratic -- good in most instances but I kept running into long delays from time to time. Especially when browsing complex website such as Yahoo News in Desktop view. I decided to give the Stock ROM a try again and I think it is actually smoother overall and much fewer near-hang occurrences. Cheers,

I do agree. The stock ROM is smoother than the customer ROM. However a few of my apps works in custom ROM but not in stock ROM. Strange but true. I have error "open failed: ENOENT (No such file or directory)

If you appreciate my work and would like to support me with a small donation you can click on button.

If every happy user of this rom would just donate something I could invest more time in all these Android projects.

What doesn't work

* USB bluetooth: before you start asking... 4.2 has introduced a new bluetooth stack that is incompatible with non serial over USB bluetooth (so it will work only with internal/UART)

* Accelerated video playback is supported by MX Player in HW+ mode or using a local UPNP server like BubbleUPNP and setting MX Player in HW (not HW+) mode. This last method plays pretty much every kind of video but Hi10p ones. If you play videos streamed from your network (NAS, PC) you can use the free UPNPlay app with MX Player in HW mode.

* HDMI: untested

* Probably other things...

Features

* USB GPS support (cp210x and pl2303)

* Xbox 360 gamepad support (xpad)

* PS3 USB gamepad support (hid-sony)

* Generic / chinese (Pantherlord / GreenAsia) gamepads support (hid-pl and hid-gaff)

* OpenVPN support (tun)

* Veno congestion control algorithm

* USB audio (untested)

Instructions

* You need TWRP to be able to flash this rom. Read the linked thread for instructions.

* Put rom (cm-10.1-$DATE-UNOFFICIAL-spark.zip) and gapps (gapps-jb-$DATE-signed.zip) files inside internal or external sdcard.

* Turn on the tablet in recovery mode as explained in TWRP thread.

* If this is your first install select "Factory reset" from "Wipe" menu.

* Flash rom (cm-10.1-$DATE-UNOFFICIAL-spark.zip), gapps (gapps-jb-$DATE-signed.zip) and, if you're installing this rom on a device that is not the Spark, the required compatibility zip.

* Now select "Reboot".

* Enjoy CyanogenMod 10.1!

Only devices with a stock SDK 3.0 firmware can be supported.

* Onda V972 (v3.0 based) 3.0_rc0

FAQs

* If your devices doesn't have a volume rocker you can install one of these apps to control volume from the notifications: Volume in notification, TrayVolume

* WiFi now can stay enabled with display turned off. Note that if WiFi is enabled the tablet won't enter deep sleep so if you're more interestead in battery life instead of an always on WiFi change policy (on "Advanced" WiFi settings) from "Always" to "Never" and select your preferred WiFi timeout.

* Internal memory is mounted at /storage/sdcard0, external sdcard is mounted at /storage/sdcard1. If you wanna swap them (and make primary your real microsd) just edit "persist.sys.vold.switchexternal=0" to "persist.sys.vold.switchexternal=1" in "/system/build.prop" file
