it would appear that the kernel isn't booting at all :(

i'll see what i can try and post another test build.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ultravioletnanokitty:
try the build i recently posted, v0.65. power management is significantly improved now.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] aaron_hucn:
Replace the gpu driver with the one ripped from joe's cm10-0125 could fix media play issue. Would u have time to look into it to make the rom more perfect?!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] aaron_hucn:
Cannot wake up my device frequently on this version ,any idea?

Youtube

One issue I found with my V55 on 4.2.2 is Youtube does not play, using the app, stock browser or Chrome.

I assume this is related to the old kernel and codec support.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ultravioletnanokitty:
i have been experiencing this too and i'm not sure why it's happening... perhaps it's a permission issue, or it could be related to the fact that these builds currently do not have mpdecision or thermald... i haven't been able to get a log of it happening though, because the device freezes up before the kernel can log anything related to waking up. it just goes to sleep (more or less) successfully, then dies. the app 'deep sleep battery saver' will consistently reproduce the behaviour, so at least i can reliably test whether or not the problem is occurring. i'm going to test joe's newest build to see how it behaves in deep sleep (and also how video playback is set up). i'm also looking into why 4.2 isn't booting for V11A/V71A users, so there may a new boot image out soon.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] aaron_hucn:
Wish u a good luck and can't wait to try ur next release.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] aaron_hucn:
ultravioletnanokitty, no baseband included in ur rom? I can't connect gsm network. How can I get it to work?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] larry0987:
Roms are WiFi only, no gsm or cdma built into the ROM.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ultravioletnanokitty:
i'm currently integrating joestone's ril into my builds. once i've accomplished that, 3g data for V11A/V71A users should work fine.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] aaron_hucn:

What files we need for video working properly with audio and video from joe stone`s builds? For v11a cm10.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ultravioletnanokitty:
hey guys, by now i'm sure you've all noticed that the usual cyanogenmod rule of "don't ask for etas" is well in effect here... i am, however, working on things whenever i have the time and motivation. the latest result of my efforts is something i know many of you have been looking forward to- a pac build! pac4.1 is up in the original post, with hardware support identical to cm10. the v11a and v71a versions have not been tested yet, but i am confident they'll work as well as cm on those devices.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mandgeo:
Nobody asks for ETA maybe because there are few ZTE v55/71/11 owners hoping to get better firmware than the modified v9s.

At least, on the ported ICS V9s the camera and 3G is working.

I'm happy to see that someone is giving some attention to those devices and sad that I (and maybe others) cannot be of any help.

Something useful on this guy's github?

[Miscellaneous Android Development] zooster:
The most important thing would be to fix native video playback.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ultravioletnanokitty:
thanks for the link, but unfortunately that's the v9, not the v9s... the v9 is based on completely different hardware from our smarttabs. regarding etas, i was actually ridiculing myself for posting etas and then dropping off the face of the earth. i can't blame you guys for giving up on timely releases :eek:

agreed, under cm10 it's the only really big usability issue left for those of us wifi-only users... i'm actively pursuing it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mandgeo:
V9 ... V9S... i was hoping for a big discovery... :((

[Miscellaneous Android Development] ultravioletnanokitty:
turns out this was a super-easy fix, qualcomm's jellybean sample graphics drivers don't play well with the current vidc drivers in the kernel. i reverted to the ics ones for now and things are working fine. video playback will be working as of my next release.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ultravioletnanokitty:
new builds of cm10 and pac4.1 in the original post, video playback is now working! i'm still very uncertain about what's causing the deep sleep issues, but i don't think it's related to deep sleep itself... the exact same symptoms (device suddenly powers off and cold boots when you hit the power button) also occur even when the screen is on and an app is running.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] AgresivePsycho:
Firstly, good job! ;) now ı used joe stone rom my v11a tablet but camera not working :) you project is PAC 4.1 v11a devices working? camera, wifi, 3g, touch, audio , etc. working? and what are the not working this rom? thanks :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mandgeo:
Stay with joe's rom. The developing on this project is verrryyy slow. Tablets are dying...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] larry0987:
I'll take slow

verrryyy slow is better then non existent. At least we have something to use other than the stock 3.x os and the clunky V9S 4.0 rom. Joes roms are no better then these ones and some parts are less functional due to the fact that there are broken things in CM10 that have been fixed since Joe stopped working on them.

Personally, I've been running 10.1 for a couple months with no issues other than native video playback which I work around easily.

*DELETED* I figured it all out.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] MrObvious:
I'll try this. I'm doing the PAC ROM from April. We'll see. :D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] MicheleFrost:
first of all thanks for your job, I managed to install CM10 on my father's V11A aka Vodafone Smart Tab and it was easy and effective following your instructions.

There is just one thing that I cannot do yet, and it would be very useful so I am asking for some hint:

I cannot connect the tablet to a Win 7 pc as usb storage /MTP in order to copy some files to the external SD; Windows sees it as ADB composite, but no device is shown anywhere. Is it a driver issue (even if adb is working?) or is it something else?

thanks in advance
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dtriguero:
Probably a driver try uninstalling and reinstalling also just try a different usb port I have had that happen before one port would work fine while another wouldn't

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Garnerj013:
Your ADB drivers are separate from your mass storage drivers. There should be a virtual CD-ROM Drive that has drivers on it. Once you install those drivers, the virtual drive should "Eject" but if not, you can right click on it and manually eject the virtual drive. When you do that, if the drivers are installed, it should show up as a mass storage device. It works for me most of the time on my V55 tablet. I hope this helps!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] xanathos:
Hi,

Any news?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mose_pe:
Hi,

I'm wondering if anyone is still viewing this thread and I'm probably very late... but I realized now from the first post:

"....So far as I am aware, that is the newest kernel version available for any ZTE device with the msm8660 SoC..."

Well, the following link has an ZTE official 3.08 kernel for a 8660 device (called N970)

http://support.zte.com.cn/support/news/NewsDetail.aspx?newsId=1003382

Hope it could be of any help.. I still love my Smarttab:good:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ultravioletnanokitty:
oh how i wish that was compatible with these devices. i've thoroughly examined that kernel source under the same premise, and unfortunately that device is different enough that it makes more sense to just port 3.4. things are at such a standstill because zte chose a very hacky way of writing a board driver for our devices' kernel. they took the generic msm8x60 (msm8260 and msm8660) board driver in caf's msm-M8660AAABQNLZA3624 kernel release and modified it (and other code it depends upon) to suit our devices, often leaving giant blobs of code that are completely unused behind. the proper way is to create a new board driver that only contains what is necessary for our devices, but determining what is needed (even just to make a kernel boot) has proven to be an extremely daunting task without help. i think if i had the assistance of the htc msm8x60 kernel developers (htc sensation, evo 3d, one s c2) or another such community i could get this off the ground. honestly, though, right now i just don't know where to start with the process of writing a new board driver, which is absolutely essential if we want to see a newer kernel on our poor forsaken tablets! :(

i think i may take a crack at getting our existing kernel to boot with selinux support enabled again... that was the big hurdle that kept me from working on kitkat builds. it's very frustrating how nearly every modification i've attempted to make to our kernel config leads to a perfectly compiling but unbootable kernel. most of my effort as of late has been to return our kernel source to as close to the above caf release as possible to eliminate potential problems caused by zte's exceedingly hacky implementation.

again, i'm sorry this is such a stagnant project... unfortunately, though, i don't have the kernel development experience to get far alone and i've had minimal response from the developers i've tried to get in contact with. perhaps if i try harder to get some community attention we can get somewhere. i'd really like to see the various manufacturer-specific projects come together to build a common kernel tree for as many msm8x60 devices as possible... it'd be a great step forward for a ton of devices.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bassgitt:
Thanks for your efforts :good: I'm still love that tab and good luck to you all your life. :highfive:

Anyone saw what this guy is saying or it's not important?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sliker90:
hello guys, i've seen that this thread has not been updated for a while... so i suppose the support from ultraviolet 's ended... :/ however... i just need to let a v11a running a usable OS (currently google market crashes and so amazon underground :v ) i've read the joestone thread where he was saying that there was a problem with the latest version of the firmware (v03b) but i didn't find any mention here. So i was wondering if i can basically follow the reported steps written in the first post

"Root via TWRP:

Download the latest TWRP from above

Reboot into fastboot mode with:

Code:

adb reboot bootloader

or by powering on the device while holding volume up

Run (as root/with administrator privileges):

Code:

fastboot flash recovery <your twrp image>

If the command is successful, press and hold volume down and run:

Code:

fastboot reboot

(still with admin rights) to reboot into recovery.

If the flash command is unsuccessful, you can also boot the recovery image without flashing it with:

Code:

fastboot boot <your twrp image>

From there, you can make a backup and flash a ROM just as you normally would, though TWRP will not be written to the recovery partition.

If you have not installed a ROM that has root access, TWRP will ask you if you want to root the device when you reboot." . So, do i have to do something else before maybe? i hope someone'll answer soon... :D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mandgeo:
You should make a backup without flashing recovery. (fastboot boot <your twrp image>)

I don't remember very well ... I think original recovery could be included in the update package and in this way you could revert to the original state.

.... the firmwares made by joestone are missing support for camera (?!). Any other part of the system works very well.

I'm a Smarttab 7 owner so I don't know if you could use the firmware from zte v9s.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sliker90:
so basically i have to boot in TWRP launching "fastboot boot <your twrp image> ", then install a custom-ROM. That's it?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mandgeo:
Backup first.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sliker90:
so boot in TWRP, backup, and finally rom installation?

PS: just in case.... how can i force the tablet to reboot? I mean, which is the buttons combination?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sliker90:
up
[Miscellaneous Android Development] xanathos:
Keep power button pressed. It will turn off. Eventualy
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sliker90:
ok thx, but the main question was about how to install a custom rom for the first time in a zte v11a... so do i have just to launch the recovery command with ADB, backup the stock rom, install the custom rom and gapps?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] xanathos:
First of all you must install recovery (twrp). I think that more detailed steps are available in sangemaru's thread. You'll find a link in the first post of this thread. After you have twrp make a backup if you want and install the custom rom
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sliker90:
ok guys, everything went fine :)

Update

Not sure if anyone is still using this (old) tablet, but I just installed the v9s ICS rom by ronin, and just wanted to report that it runs very smoothly and everything seems to pretty much work. The only thing to note, however, is that you must install SuperSU with TWRP and modify the hosts file to unblock all of the google IPs in order to function correctly. I was able to download apps off of the play store even with the blacklist in place, but not much else worked until I cleaned up the hosts file. After that, it's been smooth sailing with this old tablet. Thank you for the thread, ultravioletnanokitty!

Hello everybody

I write here on this old post to request help for a vodafone smart tab tablet ...

yes it is true it is old, I found it in a drawer and turning it on I went back 10 years.

I did the root, put the cyano9 and the gapps all right, then I had the brilliant idea of flashing a package that would have solved the problem of the play store ... and nothing the terminal is dead, the only two things I can do are enter ftm with the power + volume up key and enter recovery (the stock one) with the volume down.

in ftm I can enter with adb but I don't know how to reflect a rom, I don't have the stock rom because the one I found (the Hungarian one) gives me a validation error.

Is there any nostalgic who would know how to fix?

thanks in advance

I unlocked my saga via htcdev and installed cwm. I thought that that would be enough to flash a costum rom but now i only see the spashsceen on bootup. I tried flash the boot.img via fastboot manually but that fails (fastboot failed (status malformed (1 bytes))) too. So my HBOOT is 2.00.002 and I am still S-ON but on top of the Bootloader it is Unlocked.

So what is now up with my phone and what can I do?

[Sprint LG Optimus G] toastyc12:
Hello!

I'm moving up to this phone very soon, and had one big question about how well the built-in onscreen keyboard functions.

A bit of history:

Every Android phone I've ever owned that i considered my main device has had a physical keyboard. When my Samsung Epic broke about a month ago, I had a couple of spares to work with as a backup, so I was able to experiement with the HTC EVO and Motorola Photon. A very new concept to me, using an onscreen keyboard. I forever hated it, but after using the EVO for a month, I got incredibly used to it.

For my experience: I can't stand the EVO keyboard. I much prefer the one on the photon, or even the default AOSP one.

How is the keyboard that comes bundled on the optimus G? Does the screen size have any effect on how different typing with the keyboard would be compared to a phone such as the EVO, almost a whole inch smaller? How is the Haptic feedback? That's actually a pretty big thing that would start to bother me on my Epic, whenever I had opened the on screen keyboard for a quick password or such. (My epic had little to no haptic feedback, I suspect the vibrate motor was shot.) Having good haptic feedback on a keypress is as close I'll get to the tactile response of such from a physical keyboard.

I still intend on picking this phone up, regardless if they keyboard turns out to be lackluster, but if that's the case, maybe a third party keyboard could fill the gap.

How about third party keyboards? There's a lot of them out there, and I have no idea where to start.

Sorry if this is the wrong thread. I contemplated posting this under apps because of the last bit, but stuck it here as it has to do with the typing functionality.

Thanks!
[Sprint LG Optimus G] toprock23:
Hi! The last phone I owned with a physical keyboard was the palm pre. I was the same as u thinking it would be difficult getting adjusted to soft key. IMO, the 4.7in screen is the sweet spot for typing. You'll get used to it pretty quick. I suggest getting swiftkey app, because of the word prediction feature. And as far as typing, it's extremely responsive! More so than my Galaxy S2. On my S2, it couldn't really handle the wpm i was typing. It would lag! This lgog can keep up! Oh ya, and the hepatic feedback is also top notch. No lag either.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] spackmanbr:
The stock keyboard isn't bad at all. I actually like it better than a lot of the onscreen keyboards on other phones. It's very clean, attractive, and functional. I actually just switched back to it to type this, and it works great! And I totally agree, 4.7 inch screen is a great size for keyboards.

My personal preference is Swiftkey. I have tried and own almost all of the major keyboards that you'll find in the app store. None of them really compare to Swiftkey, so if you're thinking of trying one out, then start with Swiftkey.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] toastyc12:
Thanks for the responses! I'll definitely give SwiftKey a try. It's good to know that the stock keyboard has some positive feedback as well.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] cremator75:
I prefer the stock JB keyboard on my nexus7. Is there a way to turn off the LG keyboard and use the JB version? I tried to un check it under settings but it seems to be locked ON.

[Nexus 10 Android Development] brGabriel:
Is there a tabletUI option for this release?
[Nexus 10 Android Development] Sentinel196:
I looked at Tablet UI as an option, but the consensus is that it's depreciated and support will become less and less over time, so I decided to leave it out with this ROM.
[Nexus 10 Android Development] asweiler:
Re: [ROM] [28/01/13] - SentinelROM v3.00 - CM10.1 Base - Fast, Stable, Themed

What does he mean by that is he talking about the action bar or the menu button that appears on the right?

Anyhow I had an idea that maybe I could work on some modifications that I would like on this ROM without having to ask you for it, but I am very new at it and all of the guides I have found are either out of date or are poorly written so I didn't understand how to do it. Do you think you could direct me in the right direction to get started? I would really appreciate it, thank you very much.
[Nexus 10 Android Development] Sentinel196:
Yeah he means moving the navigation bar at the bottom so that the Back, Home and Running buttons are off to the left hand side.

I figured out how to move them and it works perfectly in SentinelROM AOSP, but it seems that CM10.1 is using some weird scaling in the systemUI to fit the large screen of the N10. Even when I modify the XML to adjust the alignment to the far left, it sits about 3 quarters of the way across. From what I can tell, as far as the systemUI knows, this is the edge of the screen and the rest of the area is deadzone. I'll spend some more time later in the week working on it.

Anyone else is always welcome to make mods and tweaks (anything that works with this ROM should also work with other CM10 based ROMS). I welcome and encourage it in the spirit of open source! Hey this whole ROM is pretty much a CyanogenMod Kang.

You just need to package them up as flash-able zips that can be flashed via recovery. If I like them, I'll include them in future builds with your permission :)

To make mods you will need 7-ZIP, Notepad++ and APKTool. You just need to extract the APK you want to edit using APKTool, then make your modifications using Notepad++, then compile using APKTool and merge your modded resources with the original APK in 7-Zip. Then you just need to push the modified APK to your device (I use Android Commander for that). Compiling into a flash-able zip is a little more tricky but there are plenty of guides around.
