What is this xml fix? Very interested as the only custom rom I can use atm is supernova 3.1 as this rom lets me install my home banking app correctly.
[Android General] jyams:
Are you sure you are following these instructions EXACTLY for Phoenix? Debugging setting has no effect as the tablet MUST be off before starting the Phoenix flash process.

Supernova 4.0 IS based on the v2.0 SDK so not to worry. You are updated! However when installing Supernova I hope you did a squeaky clean install in CWM first /advanced/format system, data, cache, sdcard, then wiping data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, then flash Supernova 4. If you didn't follow this procedure you may experience some disappointments due to corrupt stuff that didn't get erased on the sdcard most likely.

Oh god, I was using the 1.34 kast root version, want to switch on my onda v972 today to root..

I saw this horrible white death screen. What happened to it? Can someone tell me? Is it bricked or?

I tried flash with phoenix with 1.35 offical but it doesnt work!!! Help!!!
[Android General] fiddlinghamster:
Don't panic, this tablet is practically unbrickable. That is of course excluding any hardware faults which ie a seperate issue.

Make sure your tablet is completely off before using phoenix. Press hold power key for a good half minute, I plug mine into Usb on pc, then you can hear it turn off with The Usb disconnection sound.

Then make sure you follow the upgrade options EXACTLY!

I found I needed to go back to stock 1.21 just to get the thing going again, then work back up to latest Rom.

Look at previous posts on how to use phoenix.

All the best.

However i tried in on 1.35 and it did not work. Cause my wifi to go wonky.

I was hoping there was a fix for the latest version

Supernova 4.0 must be using some modified xml files since the apps can be installed on it. or does the banking apps like paypal only install on supernova 3.1?

Can someone with supernova 4.0 post of the xml files so I can give it a test.?
[Android General] jyams:
Could you provide a link to this rom. I can't find it on the ondabbs.cn website. Also, your attachment isn't visible?

EDIT: Found it.............Here is a new Chinese authored ROM v2.0.1, based on the SDK 2.0 released this past Monday. Spanish users over on HTCMania.com are saying it is smooth and fast, and legit.

EDIT2: Caution, not sure how to install yet. Here is the description of the ROM with some install instructions. However, with the translation to English, I can't be sure what the install process is, as in, is this to be installed as an update over stock 2.0 or is it a total wipe and install? It appears from the size of the download that it is simply an update and not a total wipe/install. Anyone have any wisdom??

no english keyboard. no root, killed all my installed apps. did not erase all my data but sure did a number on the system config.

is it that i applied the update over my 2.0 install and it was suppose to go over the 1.35 install?

anyways i am reverting back to my cwm image of 2.0
[Android General] 0.24L:
Yes, it does. but once I switch it on, it immediate load the white screen of death..

Event after holding home button, then hold on to on/off button..
[Android General] msav:
1. hold power for 10 sec to power off.

2. launch phoenixsuite. and click the anchor icon and select firmware. Do nothing else. Do not hit update.

3. your tablet should be disconnected from the pc.

4. Hold the Back/home button keep holding it. Plug in the usb cable to the tablet. while still holding the home/back button press the power button 5 times. then let off everything. you should see progress on the pc screen you will not see anything on the tablet.

if this does not work you may need to reinstall phoenix suite and make sure you install the driver when it askes.
[Android General] 0.24L:
Its the same old thing, plus I have used phoenix quite few times myself, so I dont think this is the problem. No matter what version, I used, it is still in death screen.
[Android General] jyams:
I installed the Onda SDK v2.0 stock rom posted 3/30. Then I used the /settings/about tablet/update feature, pointed to "local" and selected the v2.0.1 zip file on my sdcard that I downloaded and copied over to the v972. It ran as normal, rebooted the tablet into stock recovery, and flashed the .zip. When finished I rebooted tablet and got the green screen where it repairs the memory (which I think I got the last time I flashed this 3rd part rom 1.35.1). I let that run and finish, and then the v972 booted normally. Rom is definitely faster and smoother than SN 4.0. I'm copying over my sdcard to start restoring apps and see if that slows it down any. But so far, I like what I see.

Don't know why you had the problems you did, but I don't think you are supposed to flash over 1.35. This rom is cooked as an update to the SDK 2.0, hence the 2.0.1 designation. Was your usb cable inserted snugly? I've read that a bad cable or a poor connection leads to all kinds of issues when flashing roms. I always check my cable to be sure it is snug. When using the Phoenix tool it's easy while trying to hold down on the "home button" , plug in the usb, and tap the power, to mess up something. You almost need 3 hands LOL!!!!

Regarding root, Superuser is cooked into the rom, but you have to go to /settings/security/permissions and turn it on. Then it recognizes root. I was able to interpret those directions from the Spanish board. Lastly, once I changed the language to English US, i got an english keyboard. However, I always install the Hackers's Keyboard anyway, so that was no problem.

Another thing, Root Explorer Chinese is cooked into the rom and can only be disabled in /settings/apps, not uninstalled. I used Titanium Backup Pro to uninstall it and re-install the English version from the play store. Works good.

EDIT: I think I discovered your problem. If you had CWM installed over the stock recovery, then that's what caused your issues. I read on the Chinese bbs that the v2.0.1 zip had to be installed with the original stock recovery and not CWM. If you would Phoenix flash the stock v2.0 again, then use /settings/about tablet/update to install the v2.0.1 zip, I bet it would work. When you Phoenix flash it installs the stock recovery and deletes the CWM. i knew to do that beforehand and hence, didn't have your problem. Just a stab at your problem. I think you would like this update. I certainly do.

Green error screen at boot

Hello,

I installed the 2.0 SDK and everything worked fine. It was very smooth.

But today when I rebooted my tablet, it showed the first 4-core yada yada, then after 1-2 sec this green screen came up, with a nursing + on a bag, plus some chineese letters.

Anyone else got this?

What do to?

I don't want to do a new clean install (and havee to install everything again).

I have 32 GB memory.
[Android General] jyams:
Yes, and not to worry. It's a repair tool built into the firmware. Just let it do it's thing and then your tablet will boot as normal. I get it every time I flash 2.0.1, and I do mean every time. So far, I get it within the first few bootups after flashing, then I never see it again. I think it fixes the boot sectors or something technical. It usually takes it about 3-5 minutes to do its thing.
[Android General] msav:
I think you may have a hardware problem.

You have obviously know how to flash your tablet and if it is not responding to phoenix suite then there has to be something wrong hardware wise.

Looks almost like your backlight is on full with a blank screen. I have never seen mine do that even when it was bricked.

Just a Heads-Up, that Chinese 2.01 ROM floating around does not have root - at least according to Root Checker Basic. Wish I'd known that before installing..
[Android General] jyams:
Yes it does. You have to go to /settings/security/permissions and select SuperUser to run. Once you do that, you have root access. Those instructions were in the Spanish forum and not really clear to all users. SuperUser is "baked in" to this Chinese rom. Hope that helps.
[Android General] aaronm13:
Would you recommend upgrading to 2.0.1 over stock 2.0 jyams. Happy with stock but if it's a marked improvement over it I'll upgrade.
[Android General] jyams:
For me, Yes. It made a nice difference in my performance. It won't improve your Antutu benchmarks, but it does improve every other feature. It's faster and smoother. To me, it's what stock should have been.

Thanks jyams. I don't bother with benchmarks to be honest. I just care how the tablet feels not what some software tells me. I put CWM on it so I better return to stock before I flash.

Yes, YouTube does not work in 2.0. However, there is a solution. Download this older version and it works great!

There is one caveat though. The Play Store will want to update this YouTube and pester you to do so. However, if you allow the update to occur, then it won't work again. Keep this .apk handy to reinstall.

I've modified the manifest.xml inside the .apk, so Play Store has stopped to moan for an update.

what a GREAT thread !

Thank you everyone for this super informative thread,

I read all 69 pages (wife was not happy ;).....but what a wealth of info.

This thread read like a great evolving book with 1.2, 1,32, 1,35 and now v2 !

It is really encouraging to read about the development of this tablet and how

gradually folks are reporting greatly improving results as the firmware improves.

Now I have only these choices:

- should I get 16GB version (I have 32GB card) for total of 48gb

- or should I get the 32gb version for total of 64

(I know that those numbers are only estimates as the installed stuff takes place).

My last experience with tablet was 2 years ago with 8gb 7" Nook Color but that lasted only

2 months before I sold it. It was just too small for surfing and I got tired of zooming.

Playing recently with my friend's iPad, I realized that I can read this almost 10" size screen

just fine and I LOVED the new iPad retina displays ! Now after I am learning that I can get

the same screen for 1/2 the $$ and MORE flexibility with Android, SD and HDMI - I cannot

resist anymore.:o

I believe the best price with shipping right now is $249 from reputable buy . com (or elsewhere??)

so it looks the trigger will be pulled this weekend.

Thank you again everyone for this great thread !!!!:good::good::good::good:

Very happy with it, on this near-perfect ROM.

This ROM works best for me. Smoother than SuperNova 4.0 f.i.

I do have one issue with all ROMs: when the tablet goes tot sleep mode, it completely switches off and I must reboot. Anyone else seen this problem?
[Android General] minerva1961:
Installed this last night, did a standard CMW complete wipe install rather than all the instruction on the Spanish site, installed fine...haven't noticed any issues, just checked...tablet went to sleep after 2 minutes...five minutes later pressed the power button and the lock screen came up as it should...will try longer period of sleep but seems OK..
[Android General] bdjh:
Thanks for replying. I also did a complete wipe (format /system etc) using CMW before install.

I tried SuperNova 3.1 again last night. Also that ROM now shuts off completely after locking, whereas last week that ROM was locking ok. Beats me.. ~~:( Perhaps I now have a hardware problem with my on/off button, although a long-press does make the tablet go off.
[Android General] minerva1961:
Yup, just tried again after leaving it on sleep for a hour, pressed Power and lock screen came on right away... It's taken a few weeks for the firmware to catch up with the hardware but this one's the best so far, I'm not overclocking but I did go into Setting-Developer Options and switched off the three 'animation' options and now my tablet is smooth, responds instantly with no lags...at last. Good luck with yours, I wonder if there's a software setting deep inside Android that allows the Home button to act as a wake up switch too...
[Android General] bdjh:
Thanks, I switched the three animation options also off now.

It's weird: when I manually turn off the screen by shortly touching the on/off button and I push it again within 3 seconds then the screen goes on again. But if I wait more than 5 seconds, then it was apparently already off and it reboots.
[Android General] minerva1961:
Well 'if' the power button is a bit dodgy then there's always these options;

http://lifehacker.com/5705224/buttonremapper-reassigns-your-android-phones-buttons

or

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=759723

but it sounds like it may not be the physical button but a software issue because it obviously shouldn't power off on sleep... weird....
[Android General] bdjh:
If must be software indeed. If the tablet goes to sleep automatically after 2 min (without using the button), I need to reboot too. But it even now happens on a clean SuperNova3.1, which did not have that problem before. *puzzled*
[Android General] minerva1961:
That is indeed strange, when installing I did a Settings -> Backup & Reset -> Factory data reset and think I wiped the Dalvik cache too...but that's got me puzzled.. Settings -> Display -> intelligent backlight is unchecked..that's the only other change from standard setup..

---------- Post added at 11:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:14 PM ----------

Here's something that's been puzzling me about these ROM's, if you unzip them there's a folder called /system/preinstall. Inside it there's usually something like flashplayer.apk and SuperUser.apk. It seems reasonable to assume that one could simply dump all your .apk files in there and as long as I zipped up the file again then it would install with all my files and save me having to install program afterwards.

I tried that the other night but the install was aborted, I thought it might have something to do with 'signature' verification in CWM but that was already set to off in CWM..

Is this just completely wacko and not going to work or can anyone shed any light on what steps I'm missing,

Ta.
[Android General] jyams:
Yeah, I've also tried doing some rom modifications only to have it blow up when installing. I think they have some kind of key built in so if you change something it won't install. I'd like for someone who knows how to modify a stock rom to reply as to why this one can't be simply zipped back up and installed? Any answers?

Problem with using headphones...

Hello. I have Onda V972 32Gb running Kasty 2.0. I just tried using headphones while playing a video and can hardly hear the voice. The same with nusic files. I did try 3 different media player and all the same result. No problem with the sound when using without headphones though. Anyone experiencing this problem? Thanks in advance. :good:
[Android General] msav:
Try a different set of headphones.

I noticed that some mini jacks are just a slight slimmer in diameter. I bought a mighty Dwarf speaker for my tablet and the mini jack on there proprietary cable is slim. it does not activate turning off the internal speaker on the tablet unless I push in an hold it. I just made a 1 inch male to female adapter cable to take care of that and it now works great.

Also look at your headphone mini jack does it have 3 bands or 4 bands. some headsets with built in mic are spaced differently and my not line up with ondas jack.

in any case making an adapter cable should fix the problem.

Typing nightmare

Just my two cents:

The latest ROM is in the matter of speed, fluidity the same as the rest. Nothing new. At least I do not see it.

Typing on the tablet is still pain in the ars. It is slow and in many applications including the internet browser it lags. So the only solution is to type a little slower.

The lag in some applications is horrible. Example Kingsoft office of Photo editor. even the simple Gmail.

I have tried some other keyboards but no difference in speed.

Hope this issue will be solved soon.

Otherwise I hope this ROM will not delete my Google account from tablet like 1.32 or 1.35 without possibility to get it back and use the google applications, or demand a factory default reset after some time for no obvious reason.

YouTube 4.2.16

Hi, Everybody!

All of us knows that latest version of official YouTube application doesn't work on last SDK 2.0 firmware. And as solution was adviced to install older version 4.1.47.

But as for me, interface of 4.1.47 is not really good, and I used to latest version interface.

So, if you like me love latest interface, you can install YouTube version 4.2.16 and it work propertly on 2.0 firmware.

You can download it in attachment.
