tablet ui

The way to turn on tablet UI without flashing a zip has already been answered. Read or search this thread, its a build.prop change.

yes i read that too but both the times it was told to people who have installd custom roms so i was asking if i can do it on stock rom

also its not explained fully as i have never done something like this before i dont know where to enter those lines i mean i opened the build.prop file but i dont know where should i rite in the beginning of the text file or in the end.. as i think it can cause some serious problems if i wrote in any wrong place.. and if ratio does not makes any difference why cant i play alot of games which i downloaded from google play... they got installed successfully but when i tried to run they gave error.. happened many times.. also i m not able to play any videos in any browser tried in chrome and in stock browser is there any way to do it? my you tube is working fine...
[Android General] AnkitChowdhury:
There is another thread completely for games running on these two devices...The link's there in the first post..Please check the first post and head over there. Mention properly exactly which game isn't running so that we can help you.
[Android General] fuser-invent:
That is a legit question but you are also asking it on XDA where you can easily find the answer. You can add the build.prop line anywhere in the build.prop. You're question about whether it can be added in the stock ROM was answered on this thread and the answer was yes.

If you have specific problems you have to give specific info. For example, if you said that you downloaded Asphalt 7 and can't play it because it crashes right away at the spinning license check icon, then I could tell you that Gameloft implements a stupid license check system in their games that restrict their use on almost every foreign tablet. The solution is a semi-complicated hack to the telephonymanager.smali code. You would have to pull the framework.jar, decompile it, recode that file, recompile it, send it back to you're device and fix the permissions. I would also tell you that I will be doing all that for people here and including it in the next custom ROM update, so Gameloft games will work in the future.

Not sure about video because I don't have the device. Are other people having issues. Some browser work with Flash and others don't. Flash is no longer supported by android so you need special flash files that are already in the ROM. If you update those files through the market then they won't work anymore. Same with the YouTube app. The stock browser on these tablets is usually the best bet for flash compatibility.
[Android General] sudersanmurthy:
videos work for me in browser :)
[Android General] fuser-invent:
I don't think I answered your question about flashing ROM's. No it won't mess with any of your current apps, probably not data either. If you did a data wipe / factory reset it would though but you can just flash the ROM's as is and it will overwrite all the system apps and update all other system files but leave your downloaded apps and games and stuff.

One thing that might happen though is that some apps might not like the new fingerprint since you downloaded them with the stock fingerprint. So occasionally you will find apps that you will need to uninstall and re-install to get them working correctly.

Fuser and other friends here trying to help us (who do not know much about )

Android...So I would request to respect all the friends here...

Next supporting Games is really difficult for them...Even I am facing issues to play Subway Surfers...

BTW are you using CPUSet or some kind of apps to tweak your CPU performance..Check that..Also refer other thread here which games peoples are able to run.

Please take backup under recovery every time when you try to do something new and you are unaware..That will save your TAB...Keep the Custom or Stock ROM copy in the memory card.

I would not suggest to swap internal memory with external..Better would be to use Link2SD software if that support this Kernel..

@Nitin

Pls add this line in build.prop

ro.ui.tabletui=true

You can find build.prop file under /system folder in ROM

Better you can try Fuser custom ROM...which is wonderful...

[Android General] nitingoel2:
thnx

yes its really very nice of them to help all of us and i m also very greatfull.. i tried to use cpu tweak softwares from market but none of them worked i read in this thread that some text has to be edited but i really dont want to mess up things as am not aware of all this so i did not tried it also 1.2ghz is good enough for me.. and i really dont know how to take backup of rom and all.. will hav to google for it i think, and that is why i dont take much of risks with my tab i keep it simple.. i tried link2sd and apps2sd none of them worked.. vidoes are not playing from the first day in my tab tried it in chrome and in stock browser dont know why..
[Android General] sudersanmurthy:
I too like subway surfer game and it always hanged with looping sound both in stock and stock + after installing fuser's custom rom I played for subway for 1 hour it did not hang or reboot so highly recommend to use fuser's custom rom btw mine st10

---------- Post added at 06:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:40 PM ----------

is this method working?have you tested it?
[Android General] AnkitChowdhury:
It will heat up because of the performance2 governor.. You can change the governor to conservative which in turn will reduce the performance of the tab too.

while installing ....

after verifying update package it says...installation aborted
[Android General] KSKHH:
I will also suggest that..When I started using Android few months back I was having so many questions in mind..So need to study little bit to play around.

Few things which may help:-

Recovery (Well known are CWM & TWRP): This console (hope right word) can give you access to install ROM, Backup you ROM, Restore ROM etc. Usually pressing Volume up or Down with Power button you will get access of this. This may slightly differ on device to device. Stock recovery on any device do not have much options. So need to install either CWM or TWRP.

ROM/Custom ROM: Stock ROM is the ROM which comes with any device. Custom ROM where expert will make their own ROM. Installing custom ROM will void your warranty most of the cases. Famous Custom ROMs example Cyanogenmod; MIUI. Your device has to very lucky and bumper hit to get those ROM available for it.

Kernel: This is mediator software which talks between your device Hardware and ROM.

CPU: The processor. Single Core, Dual Core and Quad Core

RAM: Hardware RAM.. More RAM is good for any device. Jelly Bean need more than 700MB RAM. So any device having 500MB RAM will not get update of Jelly Bean

@fuser-invent

I have been using your custom St8 ROM for last 2 days. So far its great. No bugs yet.:)

Is there any way of changing partition layout of these devices? System partition is 900 MB out of which around 250 is used. I can always convert user apps to system apps. But is there a better solution. On my other android device I flash a new boot loader which changes the partition layout completely.

Thanks for your hard work.
[Android General] fuser-invent:
I'd need source code and a bunch of free time to build a custom kernel. You can move a lot, but not all of user apps to the other internal partition. Or you could use the SD swap zip to swap your internal SD card with your external SD card. You can also use Directory Bind to default installations to a specific partition.

I am getting problem in WiFi with custom ROM of karbonn St

it suddenly loose the connection and then get it back and after 2 min it loose it again plz help me
[Android General] fuser-invent:
Supposedly you aren't supposed to kill apps because it interferes with Android own app management system, the "lowmemorykiller" system. I have no idea if its true or not though.

All of the WiFi drivers are the same as in the stock ROM's. Android tends not to play well with BSSID or non-broadcasting networks. Also you can try resetting your wifi router or configuring it to broadcast on a different channel. If you are in a country that has more than 11 channels and you happen to use a higher channel, like 12-14, then in the build.prop you can change:

ro.wifi.channels=11

to

ro.wifi.channels=14

[Android General] handy5876:
I don't know about the crystal ROM but does it contain boot loader and recovery? If so and they are incompatible with st8 then you may have a hard brick. Boot loaders are poison. They are the very first software loaded by the CPU. If it gets corrupt nobody can do anything. When checking ROMs only use ROMs without boot loader.

Odin and download mode are used for Samsung devices.
[Android General] anupam247:
Hey.. I m not too sure abt the shop either. Its a maze. Just now its in one of the various complexes. Plus I was talking abt St8. Getting one for an 8 inch screen without cutting is difficult. If u have st10 then it all be quite simple. And it works. Touch is way better.
[Android General] fuser-invent:
@ vpandey - TWRP should work with or without the SD swap. The SD swap just changing the mounting for the larger internal partition and the external SD card.

@ vishnu770 - I don't know what your manufacturers reputation is but I've found that most manufacturers for foreign tablets don't actually back-up their warranty. If you wanted to try and use your warranty then I'd just flash the Stock+ ROM, which is close enough to stock that they probably wouldn't notice, then remove the root files that were mentioned earlier.

@ kartikeyadhh - Please put the TWRP recovery on your external SD card and try to boot into it. I'd like to know if that works. If it works then the only thing I'm missing for a potential fix is the bootloader.img so once again, someone with a working ST8 please pull the bootloader.img and upload it. Flashing the Stock+ ROM or the Custom ROM won't fix your device if you attempted to flash any zip package with a boot.img, recovery.img and/or bootloader.img.

Another General Warning

Don't flash any ROM that is not made for you device! ROM's with a boot.img, recovery.img and/or bootloader.img will "hard" brick your tablet. Even ROM's without those images will "soft" brick your tablet. Why? Because like your computer, your tablet needs specific drivers to make the hardware work. Drivers for your screen, g-sensor, wifi, camera, etc. are going to be different than for another tablet.

The basic firmware package for other ROM's made for Cortex A9 dual core tablets will work if someone figures out what drivers and other files need to be swapped out to make your device work. Your tablet would need a very specific compatibility patch to make it work with CM10 or Paranoid Android for example, but it is totally possible. That is why Christian Troy can release one core CM10 firmware package and then make compatibility zips for a variety of Cortex A9 tablets. If you try to flash the packages without the compatibility patch though, you will brick your tablet.
[Android General] handy5876:
Ok I will send it today when I get back from work. It is not in the romdump. mtd0 is the bootloader. So I assume I will have to

Karbonn Custom ST8 & ST10 - v1.2 by fuser-invent

--- ROM Based on firmware DUMP of the Official Stock Firmware ---

Official Karbonn Custom ST8 ROM thread is here.

Official Karbonn Custom ST10 ROM thread is here.

The ST10 version was beta tested by ankitdaruler and confirmed to be working on his device but there are currently no beta testers for the ST8. That means you are flashing it at your own risk. If you decide to try it and every goes fine, please report back. If anything goes wrong you can either flash the ST8 Stock+ ROM v1.2 or the ST8 Custom v1.0.1 ROM which are both confirmed to be working. The Gameloft License Loop fix may not be working, report back. If you have a Gameloft game already installed with the license loop crash, you need to clear data, uninstall and then re-install it.

---------- Post added at 01:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:32 PM ----------

@ razer1224 - No I haven't and I won't be able to. I see that you have a developed a ROM, so you are familiar with the tools you would need to build a compatibility zip? The problem is I don't have a device to test with.

What I would do if I had the tablet, is check out the compatibility zips for the Ainol Hero and Paranoid Android 3+ (a good place to start but you can choose any Christian Troy build) then pull the same files that you find in the Hero compatibility zip from the Stock+ or Custom ROM for your device and build a flashable zip.

Next, plug the device in to your USB port, run adb logcat and boot up the device. Watch the log and see if you get errors for missing drivers. You might luck out and find that you've put everything you need in the compatibility zip and it boots fine or you might find that other hardware is different and you will need to find out what with the logcat.

That should be enough for any stock based custom ROM that is compatible with your device, like maybe my Anti-Hero ROM, though I can't say for sure. Unfortunately, that isn't enough for PA3+, CM10, CM10.1, etc. For those you will need to unpack the boot.img from the ROM dump, unpack one for the ROM you want, figure out what is different in the ramdisk, make the necessary changes and recompile.

There major problem when messing with the boot.img is that its more risky and you might hard brick your tablet. I think ozadroid might be the one most likely to be able to make a compatibility zip, since he made the TWRP with your boot.img already.

---------- Post added at 02:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:44 PM ----------

Here are some tests for people who bricked their tablets trying to flash a ROM that contained a boot.img that was not made for their device. Extract the TWRP made by ozadroid and place it on your external SD card, then flash this zip from TWRP two times in a row. If you can't get into TWRP using this method let me know, I asked the question a while back but still haven't gotten a response. This is totally experimental and is the first test, so I'm unsure whether or not it will work.

[Android General] fuser-invent:
All 3 of my Ainol tablets did that out of the box. That was one of the reasons I made the Custom ROM's. Are you still running stock, stock+ or the custom ROM?

It could also be a specific app that is causing the problem. If you can catch it sometime when it's happening and use adb logcat to track what's going on, then you could pinpoint what is causing the reboots.
