Although I don't have a Nexus 4 yet (waiting for them to go back in stock) I'm still looking at accessories from time to time. Well, Mercury finally has a case for the awesome Nexus 4!! I have one for my G2x, and it's been great to me, so I would definitely get one for an N4.

They have a lot of colors to choose from, and oddly enough, I sort of want the mint or sky blue. I'll definitely be purchasing one when I get my Nexus.

They also have a wallet case. What's nice is they use a TPU case instead of hard plastic to protect the phone.

They're all from South Korea, which I think is nice cause they make lots of nice stuff over there. Hopefully some of you out there are looking for cases like these!

Ringke released a wallet case which uses real leather (at twice the cost):

Wondering how well it stays closed though; no strap like the one from ebay.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] norazi:
from my experience (had a wallet case from poetic similar to the ebay one), the magnetic clasp doesnt even hold the case closed once you put 2-3 credit cards in the wallet so its pointless and gets in the way
[Nexus 4 Accessories] galaxys:
I have the Black Vegan wallet case sold on Amazon for $6. Had it for a month and no longer carry a wallet or kickstand! Its very protective and has a snap to ensure it stays closed.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Solutions Etcetera:
Realize this thread is a little old but I just received mine today and am pleasantly surprised. I have tried a couple of flip cases for my Nexus 4 (Poetic, PDair) and have been disappointed. This one is nicely made, feels good, and has a nice magnetic clasp. I especially like the fact that, if you choose to put credit cards in it, the edges of the embedded TPU case prevent the cover from coming in contact with the screen.

It only failed one requirement I had for such a case... and that is easy removal. Since the back of the TPU case is covered with the hard wallet material, it makes it a bit tougher to get the Nexus out. But considering I have yet to be pleased with any of the other flip cases this is now no longer one of my requirements. A steal for under 10 bucks!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] anjuice:
Thanks! I'm still thinking of buying the wallet case. Where did you purchase yours from?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Solutions Etcetera:
eBay. Seller was shimshop.

Glad you like it! I'm still using mine and have not looked back. I have not yet had a need to take it out of the case holder. Also used NFC/Wallet at a store terminal and it worked flawlessly with the case on!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SebyD:
I made a rooted ROM for Allview Alldro 2 Speed DUO based on the original update pack to Android 4.1.1 on wich I uninstalled all the bloatware and crapware. The only problem with it is the Sleep of Death issue wich this ROM has since the release.

I personally use the Onda VI30 Dual Core ROM (the device from wich Alldro2 Speed DUO was cloned) with Android 4.1.1. The only difference is that this ROM works much better than Allview one, the Sleep of Death issue is fixed and does not support the back camera because Onda VI30 dual core doen't have one. Considering the quality of the back camera, it's not a problem for me. Everything works well on this ROM, I rooted it, cleared it from bloatware and crapware, but you have to know how to flash with ImageBurningTool.

O să scriu în engleză că poate îi e de folos și altcuiva...

Ok, I tried to root my Allview Speed City (4.1.1) using the root.zip linked two posts before. I managed to get the speed city into the recovery boot prompt by pressing HOME + POWER during startup. Since the speed city doesn't have hardware audio buttons (like the onda 701), you will have to use the HOME button as DOWN KEY and the POWER button as ENTER.

Here's an image of the boot recovery screen:

Now, I chose to sideload the root.zip with the command "adb sideload root.zip" and it reported that the files were successfully copied over:

Upon reboot I get the su binary in /system/xbin/su with a symlink in /system/bin/su. The su binary permissions appear correct: -rwsr-sr-x and the file has root:root as owner/group.

However, when I try to run "su", "su --command /system/bin/sh", "su -l", "su --command uptime" I always get "Permission denied".

If I run "su -h" or "su -v" I get help/version from the binary.

So, the binary seems ok, but something else seems to be missing.

I don't know if rooting only means using an exploit to bypass a closed bootloader and load a su binary (in this case, through recovery we have some control in the bootloader), or if the exploit is something that has to run on the device in addition to the su binary...

I also installed SuperUser from the market and tried to update the su binary, but it failed to gain root access (as expected) and didn't work.

Any ideas what else is needed to root a device?

[SOLVED] Rooted Allview Speed City - Android 4.1.1

Many thanks to actrox for providing the following link: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?bbuqt6rwxou7cw2

Here you will find a zip file that contains root + google apps. By using it I managed to root my Allview Speed City/Onda 701 clone tablet (running android 4.1.1).

Here are the rooting instructions:

1. Unzip the archive downloaded above (Root_Gapps_complete.zip) to an external SD card in the root of that card. You will get two files: factory_update_param.aml and root.zip.

2. Plug in the SD card into the tablet (the procedure requires an external SD card; internal storage doesn't work).

3. Turn off the tablet

4. Turn on the tablet in recovery mode. You do this by holding the HOME button and the POWER button pressed until you will see a big green android on the screen. You can release the buttons now. (the screen looks like this image:)

5. Once the update is complete, the tablet will reboot automatically and you will get a message "Updating system apps". Once it's finished, you are rooted (if Superuser is not installed, you can install it from the market).

6. Install your favourite root apps (e.g. Titanium backup, AFwall, AdAware, etc)

Just rooted my Speed City.. But i installed a dpi changer and now it is not starting.. In recovery mode, when i press home button, it turns display on/off, not navigating through menu.. How can i restore the system? any way from computer? thanks!

UPDATE:

Is this firmware compatible with the device?

V701 dual-core_v2.1 firmware V5 version from onda-sale website /download? (cannot post link..)

UPDATE 2:

It seems like the system/build.prop file is the one causing trouble.. I think i just need to create a flashable zip file with the original build.prop file, but i tried and on recovery it say "installation aborted" or something like that..

I have a flashable zip for the same file but for another device, and i replaced the build.prop with my file, signed it but it doesn't work...

Can anyone help, please? thanks..
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mad_ady:
I take it that you are able to navigate around in recovery now? How did you do that/what triggered Home turning off the screen?

Regarding the rest - I can't help you directly - I wasn't able to download the onda rom from their site...

If you like I can take a nandroid backup of the stock rom and you can try to restore it from recovery (not sure if that recovery supports it)...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crististan:
Yes, that would be great.. You can give me the backup or only the build.prop file from /sistem as a flashable zip, because i cannot manage to make it work (my flashable zip)

As for the navigating in recovery, i got a tip from somebody to connect a keyboard. I didn't do anything for the recovery to map the wrong buttons, it just did that from first boot in. The zip i tried to install was before i connected the keyboard, did it with a file "factory_update_param.aml", from the root package from above, changing the file path on it..

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mad_ady:
I'm sorry to hear that. Most likely it didn't work because the recovery rom doesn't support nandroid backups :(

A risky idea would be to try and flash a different recovery but:

1. If you don't flash the correct recovery it will no longer boot to recovery

2. I have no idea how to flash the recovery - on galaxy s3 you could do it from the bootloader (from download mode + adb), but Allview's bootloader doesn't support download mode... :(

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mad_ady:
Is there a different version number from what you had before (I don't have the tablet with me but it was based on 4.1.1).

Also, are you planning on rooting it in the near future? :)

My short-term plans for the allview is to find a recovery rom that would work with it and that would allow you to debrick yourself/flash something else. As far as I read, one can boot recovery roms through ADB directly from the bootloader. But it would require you to push the recovery rom at the precise moment in the boot process (if the bootloader supports adb, of course). The advantage is there is no bricking risk since the ROM would be loaded from your device.

Will keep you posted on what I manage to break :D

Congrats on your recovery, by the way...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crististan:
It is the same AD version, 4.1.1. ,but they solved many bugs in this version.. i will not root it again until i will find a way to unbrick it by myself.. Can we find a custom recovery for this? I am pretty sure that if we can install a custom recovery to flash unsigned firmwares we will manage to find a working ROM.. It seems that developers are not interested with this device..

Another thing, my gf. have a Vonino Speedstar HDMI, and Vonino offers for download the firmware. Many manufacturers do. Why don't allview just give us the firmware? They preffer to pay somebody else to repair our devices..

Regarding system recovery, I can give you the original recovery image (nandroid backup) that you can try to flash (either with dd from inside the android OS, or through adb fastboot (though I never got it to go into fastboot mode)). Please note that flashing it might break your tablet again :)

Ok, I uploaded the original Allview Speed City recovery image here: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?k74z81d44r1jyda

Unzip the file to your tablet's internal (or external SD). Before you can flash it, we'll need to check that the Onda ROM created the same partitions in the NAND (the offsets might be different, but we care about the partition numbers and names. Here is the partition table in the stock rom:

# cat /proc/mtd
dev: size erasesize name
mtd0: 00800000 00200000 "logo"
mtd1: 00800000 00200000 "aml_logo"
mtd2: 00800000 00200000 "recovery"
mtd3: 00800000 00200000 "boot"
mtd4: 40800000 00200000 "system"
mtd5: 10000000 00200000 "cache"
mtd6: 40400000 00200000 "userdata"
mtd7: 16cc00000 00200000 "NFTL_Part"
mtd8: 00060000 00001000 "bootloader"
mtd9: 00008000 00001000 "ubootenv"

As you can see from the output above mtd2 is 8M in size and is the recovery partition. Before doing anything run the "cat /proc/mtd" command on your tablet (use a terminal emulator as root*) and check that you have a recovery partition and that it is mtd2.

*Note: You will need to be rooted to be able to flash this from within the rom. As far as I heard the Onda firmware is pre-rooted, so you should only need to get the SuperUser app from the play store. You might also need to install Busybox to get the necessary commands

It is a good idea to back up your current recovery data, just in case. Run the commands below in a terminal on the tablet to do that:

su -
dd if=/dev/block/mtdblock2 of=/storage/sdcard0/recovery-image-original.img

You should get a 8MB file in your internal storage.

Now, flash Allview's recovery (presumably it was saved on your sd card in the folder "Original recovery":

su -
dd if=/storage/sdcard0/Original\ recovery/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mtdblock2

You should wait for a few seconds after flashing and then try to reboot to recovery.

Hope it works!
