Not to ask the obvious but . . .

1) Did you choose the firmware you were wanting to install in Phoenix before you tried to connect it to the tablet

2) Are you sure the tablet is getting recognized by Phoenix -- it is a little tricky to get it into the update mode. The update button highlighted for me when the tablet got recognized but it took me a few tries.
[Android General] bdjh:
No problem in answering the obvious. :)

2x yes. Once the tablet is recognized, the pop-up appears. When I click either 'yes' or 'no' (for 'format' or 'upgrade'), the 'upgrade' button greys out and nothing happens.

Installed this morning and the worst firmware for me so far. Stock launcher constantly crashing, apps crashing and wifi refusing to connect. Uninstalled and rolled back to earlier firmware. Onda seem to be all over the place!

Make sure you have a cmw backup if you install this.

is it rooted already?

Any improvement with market compatibility?

I would prefere a supernova 3.0 rel to flash by recovery...more useful and I can reapply nand backup....

[Android General] Dvalin21:
I know people are using the pheonix to flash the new rom, but you may want to consider, if you have cwm recovery installed, doing a FULL wipe first. This would be just in case if any left over files get left behind. This sometimes happen and you get the result of not working wifi, or market now working as it should or whatever. You have to remember first priority before ANY flashing is to clean up the partitions.

OH PS: Need someone to post a copy of the stock build.prop.
[Android General] Diomorgan:
But i need a .zip flashable from CWM recovery of latest ROM , if I flash the one from onda with flashtools I'll lose the CWM and I'm pretty tired to reinstall cwm every new firmware :((((
[Android General] Dvalin21:
I understand, but this is the way that I've been doing it and have had 0 errors come up. No issues with wifi or anything.
[Android General] Diomorgan:
Sorry, I didn't talk about problems, I just hope that someone will release a 1.35 rom flashable from CWM, actually I have no prob with my WIFI even with 1.33 :)
[Android General] samtheman:
Thanks for the advice - Having had very bad experiences with thethe latest FW this am - I took your advice, wiped first, and then updated the fw. So far so good with none of the issues I had before :)

Love U ! :o
[Android General] Dvalin21:
Ok, so I think i just found out something. If you have used the boot.img fix for the partitions, you may not be able to install CWM recovery. Every time I tried to install it, I kept getting applet not found. I had to reflash the original 1.35 then do it before i could install it.
[Android General] Diomorgan:
Can't I just flash Supernova 3 from CWM after a wipe?
[Android General] Dvalin21:
If u already have cwm installed then you need to make sure to do the following before us flash any ROM. Factory Reset, wipe cache, format system, dalvike wipe then flash
[Android General] Diomorgan:
I'll try tomorrow after a nand backup, Titanium Backup and GoBackup to restore my apps :)

So sad no new compatibility with Google Play, do you think is it due to the retina display?

Doeas the V812 has more compatibility?
[Android General] Dvalin21:
I've seen some new compatibility. Your best bet is to go ahead and just try to download it online or mode it until u it is compatible and back it up

[Android General] bdjh:
Hi, could this also solve my problem (see #382) of not being able to install 1.21, 1.32 or 1.33 on top op my original 1.20 after rooting it and installing CWM recovery? I did not do a 'format system' in between the wipes.

EDIT: to answer it myself: no...

I also tried with sideload:

on pc:

abd sideload update.zip

then these messages on V972 screen:

But why oh why?

[Android General] Dvalin21:
If ur on 1.20 then its already rooted. Flash the custom ROM then go back and use Phoenix to install stock
[Android General] diquan2001:
@ Dvalin21 So i install the Factory 1.35 and then i install the Supernova 3.0/??
[Android General] Dvalin21:
Flash the custom first regardless. 1.20 was already had root. Then if u want to go back to stock, flash stock with software
[Android General] diquan2001:
Damn i think i messed up .I just installed the Stock 1.35 with Phoenixsuite.But how can i install the Supernova 3.0 ??

**** all the Chinese Apps are back :(

I tried before when i still had 1.33 running but i got the fault message .Finding update package...

[Android General] jyams:
V972 has been working flawless. Then after not using it for 2 days, I hit the power button and all I get is the "Core 4 Quad" logo. I can reboot into CWM and do a backup, etc, but the system will not boot up. I'm on FW1.33 rooted. Was intending to prep to go to 1.35 and this is all I can do. Any ideas? Have already tried wiping Cache and Dalvik several times.

I'm sure I could go ahead and flash 1.35 using Phoenix but am really perplexed about why this thing won't boot up.
[Android General] Dvalin21:
Possible a result of this corrupted partition? I haven't had that issue yet
[Android General] jyams:
Yes, I thought the same thing, so I tried something I had never done before in CWM. I did an "advanced restore" and restored only the boot. That fixed it!! Wow, was I surprised!
[Android General] Dvalin21:
The only thing now is we need a fully functional cwm or twrp

Anyone else having issues with phantom touches on supernova 3.0

when scrolling through my apps in settings every once in a while I get a phantom touch that puts me in battery. I enabled show touches to see if it actually is detecting a touch and it shows a touch there right when if flips me to battery so there is some weirdness.

Anyway to reduce sensitivity of the touchscreen perhaps.

I am re flashing with 1.35 and reinstalling Supernova 3.0, hopefully that fixes it.
[Android General] bdjh:
I have my solution!!! I read on a different website that the problem could be that the usb cable was too long and that a shorter usb cable was the solution. It was stated that it is important that the tablet gets sufficient juice from the pc while upgrading (don't know why, I thought only data was transmitted). A shorter usb did not help me, but then I assumed that the power coming from my pc was too low. I run Linux on all my devices and therefore I have this old pc from 1999 on which I run Windows 7 for occations like this where only Windows is supported. So then I borrowed a new laptop running Windows7. And that worked! I went from v1.20 directly to v1.35. Pffeewwww, after five nights of struggling, that's a relieve!
[Android General] Dvalin21:
Sorry I meant to say no problems here
[Android General] msav:
ok phantom touches gone. However, now i get some weird twitching issues when trying to move an app to the home screens. It does not seem to reliably detect my long press and instead twitches the screen back and forth from side to side.

other than that it seems to work great. For some reason I am unable to install the full version of Nova launcher even if I uninstall the lite version first. Wont even restore from Titanium backup, But Apex launcher works really well. I think I like it better than Nova

With Supernova 3.0 custom firmware

I reinstalled http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip throught CWM recovery, then

I sideloaded Market Helper http://codekiem.com/2013/02/13/market-helper/

now LESS apps appears in the google market BUT

I finally can sideload every app I want from Aptoide / BlackMart and .apk files

!

With Market Helper only I got "shared library missing" error!!!

Tested with PayPal, Fake GPS, Grindr, Bancoposta, Viddy and all the other I wasn't abble to install even listed in the market or sideload before.
[Android General] fiddlinghamster:
So first of all I would just like to say a really huge "THANK YOU" to everyone who is posting on this thread, you have all been a tremendous help in getting my V972 somewhere close to being excellent. It is very much appreciated.

This is where I'm at....

Using Phoenix flashed to stock v1.35 (having previously used stock 1.32 & 1.33 as well as playing around successfully with CWM and Supernova 1.0 & 2.0, then unsuccessfully with supernova 3.0)

Installed Supersu & RomToolbox and removed all the annoying Chinese apps, installed apex launcher, disabled stock launcher and browser (using dolphin browser :) )

Have messed around with screen density (currently set @300) changed make to A500 In "ro.product.model" (mixed bag when it comes to play store compatibility, but have found all needed APKs online elsewhere, download to Internal storage of V972 installed fine)

Have edited platform.XML to allow apps to save to and access ext SD. Woohoo!!!

So now,,,a barrage of questions if you will permit me.

1, stock 1.35 running quite well no real lags to speak of after tweaks mentioned above, what benefits would I get from supernova 3.0?

2, any ideas why when I tried to install CWM on current stock 1.35 it installed but them would not load recovery, when finally booted into android all apps deleted, total lock up, needed to reflash with Phoenix.

3. Battery life seems a little worse in stock 1.35 (I guestimate around 3-4 hours max) any observations suggestions? What does supernova 3.0 get?

4, Silly game. Simpsons tapped out. installs fine, loads fine, updates fine, however in game only. Get black screen with game audio playing. No screen response. Just have to hit the home key. Any suggestions?

Thanks very much in advanced, your all brilliant.

Mike.

[Android General] vel0city:
Supernova 3 is a whole lot better. Everything is just faster and no freezes for me yet compared to stock 1.35. I also overclocked the cpu to 1200 Mhz and it is fast comparable to my tf300. Battery is the same around 4-5 hours. But can't complain watching 1080p mkv smoothly and having subtitles display through hdmi is all I ask for.

[Android General] minerva1961:
I've had my V972 for a week now and went through much the same process, it kept crashing and I installed every ROM there is out there but have finally settled on Supernova 3. What I didn't realise early on but wish I did was that the default launcher is TERRIBLE and is the cause of so many crashes, once I'd figured that out and installed 'GO Launcher HD for Pad' then magically all my crashes disappeared.

>1, stock 1.35 running quite well no real lags to speak of after tweaks mentioned above, what benefits would I get from supernova 3.0?

It's subjective but does seem a tad faster but then I only had .135 on for a day or so.. the htc forum gives full details (once you translate via Mr Google)

>2, any ideas why when I tried to install CWM on current stock 1.35 it installed but them would not load recovery, when finally booted into android all apps deleted, total lock up, needed to reflash with Phoenix.

Not sure, suspect it's fecked up your partitioning...?

> 3. Battery life seems a little worse in stock 1.35 (I guestimate around 3-4 hours max) any observations suggestions? What does supernova 3.0 get?

About the same, the power management isn't used on the tablet yet, one would hope ONDA engineers will finally get around to implementing some kind of power management, it's quite astounding that one can't suspend and then carry on later..

>4, Silly game. Simpsons tapped out. installs fine, loads fine, updates fine, however in game only. Get black screen with game audio playing. No screen response. Just have to hit the home key. Any suggestions?

You use your tablet for gaming...tut tut! naughty! (Try Osmos HD, it's one of those show off games, I have to fight off the crowds when I play it on my Onda on the London Underground :)

They say the stupidest question is the one that's not asked - so here's two!

1. Thanks guys for all the Custom ROM's, however, I was just curious, for us nobs out there, is there a way to convert the ROM's into images so that can be installed via Phoenix loader rather than having to install via CWM ? It took me a while to get CWM installed and for a newbie this may be a big stumbling block;

xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2143581

I had the edit the paths to get it finally installed but it would have been easier to do a Phoenix install..

2. <rant mode on>What happened in my absence? A few years ago on my Droid phone the SD card folder on the phone was the actual SD card and I could understand that, pull it out, copy files onto it, shove it back in and there it was... Fast Forward a few years and now the SD card is part of the internal file system (??????) and the SD card I insert now is called EXT SD card. That caused me a lot of confusion at the start, is that not just completely illogical, it's like having a folder on your tablet called /Floppy that you can fill up but never eject, the logic of calling that folder SD Card just defies me...</rant mode off> ;)

you ought to fix your wifi antenna while you have the case open. Let us know how it goes. I got my v811 yesterday and first thing I noticed was it is faster than the v972 on 1.35 stock. Gotta be the retina screen slowing down the processor on the v972. I really like the v811 for a lot of things. I keep it in my truck as a reader / email checker while out of the office. Battery is also very good. Again, the retina screen on the v972 is sucking the battery big time.
[Android General] natkingcole:
Yes, finally. Thanks.

QR Droid wasn't compatible. I tried several market fix methods. Even if it shows up as compatible or download it with 1market, during installation an error appears and stops.

Now after applying your method like you said: QR Droid is not compatible in play store. But you can download it with 1market AND INSTALL IT. Runs without any problem, of course.

I really don't understand, why there is such a drama with google compability, while those apps are in fact compatible and running great. That annoys me. I'm feeling like I'm in my old apple times, where Daddy Apple/Google dictates me what to do. I don't like that.

Performance?

I've had my v972 for 2 weeks. Have flashed and tested every ROM. Currently on Supernova3.1, which I like. I also got my v812 earlier this week and have it loaded with Supernova3.1 / CWM. I've also tested it extensively with stock v1.35 and Supernova3.1.

Question: the v812 performs at twice the speed on most if not all tasks in both v1.35 and Supernova, including CWM backups process, as the v972, with both having the exact same setup / launcher / etc. Given that the specs are identical except screen size and screen type (Retina vs IPS / DPI differences), what is causing the v972 to perform so much slower? Must be the Retinal high resolution screen????? The difference in performance is shocking to say the least. Makes me want to use my v812 all the time. I've read every post on multiple forums and viewed many youtube demo videos about the v972. I don't think anything is wrong with mine and I believe it performs as good or better than every unit I've read from other users. However, the difference in performance in these two models is really amazing.

Anyone want to chime in?? Does anyone else have both models and notice the difference also??

[Android General] minerva1961:
I only have a V972 but during my first week I thought I had bought an expensive doorstop, it wasn't until I installed better ROMs, changed the default launcher and stopped using Chrome (so slow it was useless) and started using Dophin (beta) that I've at last got a tablet that is a pleasure to use. My AnTuTu benchmarks came out at about 10,254 but it would be interesting to see what the score is on both your tablets...
