Well that's good to know, it makes it easier to fix the Custom ROM if the Stock+ ROM works! I was afraid maybe the ROM dump I got wasn't working correctly and the entire base of the firmware wouldn't work.
[Android General] KSKHH:
This crap is hanging toooo much man...can you pls do something...Every moment it is hanging..

Could you make same modifications for ST 8 what you have done for ST10..

Can we port Samsung multi window to our tabs ?

Haha ur ROM has made my tab nexus 7

I got my screen guard changed to a gud quality one.. Its available at Karbonn service center only.. However there's lotta improvement in touch response, but stil nt perfect... but upon bare glass, response is far betta :) :)
[Android General] KSKHH:
Cost of screen guard?

I hope we can buy A4 size screen guard which is available in ebay and cut it as per requirement.
[Android General] masood939:
For swapping internal memory to external memory can I instal crystal.zip for stock+ ROM.

Karbonn charged me 200 bucks !! :) Might be available for low cost with other retailers :) But improves over the stock crap they had put on it :):)

hey

hey friends I ve been following the thread very closely. Was unhappy after buying this tab coz of its touch until I got a new screen guard. improves the touch significantly. for those in chennai, u can go to Ritchie street where only 1 shop has it till now.got it for 130.
[Android General] PRRash:
Used to hang.. after flashing Stock rom from Ozadroid, its smooth now :) :) touch is bad sometimes n at some spots :) Is it the same wit ST10 als??? :) i use a normal class 4 microsd, already swapped :)
[Android General] sudersanmurthy:
Touch is good not bad in st10 as far I know :)
[Android General] sudersanmurthy:
I am a noon I don't know what does nexus 7 fingerprint mean so I changed the model number to st10 in build.prop is it OK to do that ? And what does # mean in build.prop is it like a comment ?
[Android General] fuser-invent:
Having the device appear to the google play market as if it was a Nexus 7 is a good thing. It allows you to download many apps that you would otherwise be unable to download. It does not effect the way the device works or functions in any other way than improving app store compatibility. You do not want to change any of those lines in the build.prop. If you are going to do that then you should replace the entire "fingerprint" and not just a couple of lines that you think should be different. In other words, you should know what you are doing before you mess with the build.prop, so ask first if you are unsure.

The # before a build.prop line means "ignore this line." So you can add notes about what the code does into the build.prop if you'd like to or you can add a build.prop line that would work but make it inactive. There are many reason to do this, for example, a developer could add the build.prop line to enable TabletUI and hash it out with the # sign, then create a flashable zip that would replace remove the hash from that like with a "sed" script. That way people could choose whether or not they wanted TabletUI by flashing the zip or leaving the ROM as it was.
[Android General] PRRash:
Is it hanging too much after using stockplus rom o is the prob with tab ?? :):)
[Android General] sudersanmurthy:
thanks for being kind enough to explain with patience (ran out of thanks meter) and ur correct i did not know what i was doing :D , one more thing to annoy you i am using ur custom rom now if i want to change it back to phone interface what should i do put an # in front of ro.ui.tabletui=true or should i delete the code or should i set it to false :)
[Android General] mushipkw:
Put an # infront of ro.ui.tabletui=true line.

Fuser said his custom ROM will solve all of these...So Just waiting for the working custom ROM for ST8
[Android General] sudersanmurthy:

youtube not working

Hey Guys,

I have been watching this thread very closely since I bought ST 8 about a week ago. Yesterday I have rooted it using Crystal Root and updated the tabletui=true as well. Till now all worked well.

But I have unique problem ... Youtube is not working with its latest version, it opens app but while trying to play video it says "Unfortunately youtube stopped". Older version 4.1.23 worked but not the latest one. I tried every known solutions:

- deleted cache, data

- removed stock youtube and installed fresh

Can someone help me?

Also can screens be made to full screen where icons appear in full screen mode, currently it seems they appear only in limited area leaving space from sides and top?

Thanks,
[Android General] Ozadroid:
all the possibilities you mentioned should work. :)
[Android General] mushipkw:
I had the exact same issue in ST10 stock ROM.

[Android General] Ozadroid:

and its booting. its just that its bootlooping due to some dis-configured files. once i config them ok. it will boot properly :)

EReader apk anyone?

Hi friends

I have bought K ST8 few days back, but mistakenly removed the EReader software from the TAB. Could anyone please share the apk of the package so that I may reinstall? It seems to be custom made and not available in Play store, but this is one of the most used application that I need very badly. :(
[Android General] KSKHH:
Fuser it it not lag...It is just freezing..which called HANG...No option rather switch off/on.

I am going to try the custom ROM...but how to get a logcat?
[Android General] KSKHH:
Attached
[Android General] fuser-invent:
@ KeuNa - Here is the eReader app that was in the ROM dump. Let me know when you download it so I can delete it from my account.

@ KSKHH - There are lots of tutorials on XDA on how to set up ADB and get a logcat for your device. There is also an app called Catlog that is in the additional apps package and can be found in the Play Store but its for when your device is on. For trouble shooting issues like you had with the touchscreen in the Custom ST8 ROM, you would need to use the ADB logcat.
[Android General] KSKHH:
Ok..got it..
[Android General] fuser-invent:
Looks like you beat me to posting the eReader app by a minute! haha :)
[Android General] KSKHH:
No..You are champ...:D

1. How to remove custom installed apps wit the tab without rooting??

2. Any idea on jelly bean 4.2??
[Android General] fuser-invent:
If you mean in my Custom ROM or the Stock+ ROM, you don't need to be rooted. The apps in data/app can be removed how you would normally remove an app. I'd suggest not removing anything in system/app because you risk breaking the device, but if you really want to, then you would need to be rooted.

If you mean in the Stock ROM, I'm pretty sure you need to be rooted to access the system/app folder.

Learning rooting via update.zip

Hi! Thanks for your work, just would like to know a few things, maybe you'll be kind to enlighten me... :good:

the Crystal_Root.zip contains a META-INF/com/android/metadata file, what's that for? Does it affect the procedure of signing the zip? If so, what's the right way to sign such an update.zip file?

I tell you this because I've tried to add files in the /system/app folder of the .zip, but i've received the message 'signature verification failed'. Moreover, I tried to change the post-build contained in the metadata file, editing the right code that matches my device, but I don't know what's the corresponding post-timestamp... Do you know where I can learn theese things?

guys will any1 b kind enough to tell me if i can change my st8 ui to tablet ui in stock rom without flashing etc..? and what about the screen ratio? i think coz of the 4:3 ratio we cant play alot of games in this tab like foot ball and cricket etc..
[Android General] souryakharb:
not there

Frnds stock pulse and custom ROM for karbonn tab was not available in mediafire plz reupload it
[Android General] fuser-invent:
Just checked, no problems with mediafire downloads. Did you download from the links I left in the comments because the original post my not have been updated? If you accurately described exactly what you did then you didn't reset permissions. Flashing either of my ROMs should fix it but I think flashing the SD card switch zip would fix it too.

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.

I don't know about 4.1.2 you can contact your manufacturer. While you are at it, try to get them to release the firmware and unbricking files.
[Android General] AnkitChowdhury:
All HD games are compatible with the 4:3 screen ratio nowadays....Doesn't cause any problem really and in reality is a better screen aspect ratio for tablets.

I would like to thanks Ankit for his findings. I have successfully rooted and swapped my cards. Thanks to exploits posted in this thread by Ankit.

Thanks a million once again Ankit.

By the way i have found some weird problem in my Karbonn Smart Tab 8 that whenever i try to play around with Bluetooth setting the tab just reboots and twice it has hanged at boot loader where you see the Karbonn logo loading. My only rescue method was to reset the tab to factory setting. :( I guess the Bluetooth hardware/software has some issues with it. Anyone else having such issues?

Well,while fiddling with my ST10 I discovered that our device is clocked at 1200 Mhz(1.2 GHz) and not at 1.5 Ghz and moreover ther's no option of underclocking our device to save battery. And the default governor is set to Conservative because of which the games sometimes lags. I have now found out the solution to all these problems. Will let you guys know very soon.

Ya right. Anyways the amount of RAM is more than enough. You can even multitask with heavy games.
[Android General] fuser-invent:
Yeah like ankitdaruler said, ratio doesn't usually matter, if its a widescreen game you will just see black bars at the top and bottom. If you are having trouble downloading games its probably because you aren't using an alternative fingerprint like the Nexus7 or you have locale restrictions.
[Android General] vpandey:
?

Thanks for reply @fuser ... using launchers cause extra memory and comes with a lot of unwanted stuff as well. What I wanted was fullscreen mode for icons to fit in landscape mode.

Latest Youtube is still not working .... same MediaPlayer.java error. Can any one report working latest youtube?

noob ques - If I flash any of the custom ROMs, will that flush all my current apps and data?
[Android General] AnkitChowdhury:
Please understand that using a launcher like Nova won't affect the speed of your tab..Because considering the amount of memory available, memory consumed by Nova is rather negligible. Around 900 MB's of RAM is more than enough for an android device as of I know.
[Android General] fuser-invent:
What ankitdaruler said. Also you have to use a launcher no matter what. If you didn't have a launcher installed you're device wouldn't boot. The one usually built in is called launcher2.apk and I find Nova to be smoother, nicer looking and less of a resource hog.

Ankitdaruler, can you add the new versions of the ST8 & ST10 custom ROMs to the original post please? They are in a comment a few pages back. I'm getting frequent private messages from half a dozen users now. Also can you add something like the following to the original post:

Everyone that is new here, please read all the posts in this thread before asking questions. One of my pet peeves is definitely when people don't catch themselves up on a thread and ask questions that have just been answered a few posts or pages back. Its your responsibility to get caught up with everyone else if you're new.

I don't even own either of these devices and the FIRST thing I did when I was asked to make a ROM was to read EVERY post here. If you ask a question that has already been answered, I'm not going to respond. If you have a real problem and can't figure it out then I'm happy to help but post you're problem here instead of a PM so that everyone can help or benefit from the solution. Thanks, enjoy your tablet!
