3 things. 1, I posted a day or so ago what the point of it is. 2, I'm in a bad mood, and 3, if you don't like the work I'm doing then you're more than welcome to do the initial grunt work to get a rom out there. This isn't easy and I'm not getting paid to do it. So please keep the sarcasm out of this thread.
[Android General] anil@aol.com:
It was not meant to be sarcastic but an honest question. I have been following this thread and reading all posts regularly. It is not clear to me that the objective right now is to port the foxtrot rom or to work on the kernel as was mentioned a few posts back. As is evident, I have been trying to help out. And I feel I can help out better, whether in development or in testing, if I clearly know what is the objective for a specific version of the ROM. After installing A2 I did not know what to look for. It says barebones but then I see all the bloatware. I really thought I had installed the wrong ROM, and went back and installed it a second time.

You are the apparent leader of this effort, you lead, i.e., define a clear vision, we (at least I am) are willing to follow and help out.
[Android General] D1358531:
A3 is working fine. For now, the Gallery doesn't see my SD card. I went to storage and changed it from USB to SD, but it didn't help.

EDIT: Nevermind, I had to wait for it to load lol
[Android General] ShilohDaniel:
My apologies. I was just in a grumpy mood when I made that reply. The A2/A3 rom has the init.d support added, data/app functionality. That's my work so far on the kernel. I'm working on adding changeable boot animations also. Also deodexed the whole rom so adding/removing applications will become easier in future releases. At this point, it's just having core parts reworked. Once I get that done, then I will be stripping the rom down to its bare bones. Only catch is it seems that the Norton Security app is baked into the kernel and I'm not sure how to remove it, because at the moment, if you completely remove it from the rom, when booting for the first time, you have no control over anything. It will be the next thing I try to remove since it seems to me that it is a huge memory hog.But for now, freezing it is the best option. But, I'll make a post in a little while once my wife leaves for work about the whole idea behind the making of the rom and the goals. I'll be making it in the first post so it doesn't have to be searched for for others.
[Android General] D1358531:
Shiloh, is the V6 included in the A3 or should I try that myself?
[Android General] ShilohDaniel:
No, it isn't inside it yet. I need to get in touch with the dev that created it or write my own scripts that do essentially the same thing. Don't want to step on anyones toes, you know?
[Android General] D1358531:
OK, sounds good. I'll try it when I get home. I can't get online here at school as I don't know the password, so I'll try other things later.
[Android General] D1358531:
Got home and connected to the internet and so far all is good :)
[Android General] ShilohDaniel:
I'm getting further with the rom now. Built almost a dozen more so far. I believe I figured out where some things were in it now. I might be able to get another posted tonight. Also figured out the issues with earlier versions.
[Android General] ShilohDaniel:
Just a heads up everyone, made some good progress. If you downloaded the rom (not the stock one) wifi.supplicant_scan_interval from my Dropbox, delete it. I've got a better built version. V6 Supercharger gets 100% and it has less stock apps, so it has quite a bit of speed. Once I put the rom up for download, I'll show how to run the Supercharger to get it installed correctly. Not much longer before I try my work with the bluetooth module in the kernel.

:sly:
[Android General] anil@aol.com:
No issues.

Thanks for all the great work you have been doing and for clearly enumerating the objectives and goals of your effort in the first post.

Where can I download the ROMs from? I cannot find them in your dropbox link any more.
[Android General] ShilohDaniel:
I've changed hosts now. I've got an account on Dev Host. Still working on getting the rom uploaded. Should have it up tonight sometime.
[Android General] jetx2x:
ok guys... hello! I've just received an a2107a-f... just wondering if the h model is simply 3g capable? f is the wifi model? trying to figure out if their clockworkmod recovery will work... a little lost... also guys I am an aosp dev... soon as I can figure out this little device I will begin work on jellybean (4.1), 4.2 would come after I at least get 4.1 to boot... also dont know if their are any custom kernels available already... ill try to get this oc'd... saw something about the bootloader being locked though... hope I saw wrong? :confused:
[Android General] ShilohDaniel:
So far the bootloader is locked and I'm not seeing a way to get it unlocked. The -F model is wifi only. Their way to install CWM works on our model. I wouldn't even bother trying to port JB since this thing has trouble running ICS. No kernels either other than the one in my rom. If you were looking for a device to develop roms for you got the wrong device. I'm the only dev working on the -F model and prolly be the only one. I've pretty much gotten all the speed out of this little tab that it's going to get. Which speaking of that, I need to stop replying and get to uploading my latest rom for everyone.
[Android General] jetx2x:
I've seen crap shoots for devices run jb fine... Me and my teams entire mission is to bring love to devices which has none... Mainstream devices aren't in our interest... If somehow we could get the bootloader unlocked... And get a proper kernel to work off of... I WILL work on jb... No doubts about it... Also another question... Is there any kernel source anywhere...? I haven't been able to do much searching... If not I'll try contacting lenovo for some information as to why the hell there isn't... Btw... My team doesn't have much of a presence here on xda... More popularity on android forums... Team Osiris... You're not alone anymore :D:D:D
[Android General] ShilohDaniel:
There's like 3 or 4 of us needing a rom for our tab so not much need for another slow rom. But, it's your choice. I do this because I don't work and have the free time to waste. Also, instead of using my thread for my rom, how about starting a new one?
[Android General] ShilohDaniel:
Got the next version uploading to me dropbox account. Dev Host is being a PITA so I gave up on that site. Give it 10 minutes and try it out.
[Android General] jetx2x:
Apologies... Didn't mean to hijack your thread... I will probably end up migrating towards androidforums since its where I'm more comfortable... This device isn't all that bad honestly... Its comparable to the specs of some of the phones I work on... It isn't fit as a tab but its good enough... If I do somehow get jellybean I promise that this hardware is more than capable of running it smoothly
[Android General] ShilohDaniel:
Good luck on it. I'd love to see it run Jelly Bean, but just from my working on this tab so far, I can't see it though. If you get it post a link on here cause I know I'd download it. Lol.
[Android General] jetx2x:
Lol... The HTC evo design has a cortex-a9 CPU... Same CPU as this tab I believe? definitely doesn't have 1gb of ram like this thing... Its running 4.2.2 just fine.... This thing will be flying soon... But anyway... About the boot loader... I saw something about unlocking the a2109 with some tool or something... Have you tried it? My last question I promise... Lol
[Android General] ShilohDaniel:
I haven't tried it yet, but I did try a few different ones. It cool if you want to know stuff about it.
[Android General] daoliverio:
I'm currently running unofficial slim bean on my og evo. And it's as smooth as gingerbread

If the og can do it...our -f model can...but I'm not a dev or anything so take that with a grain of salt lol
[Android General] ShilohDaniel:
Here's the rom everyone. Hope it's the right one. With v6 Supoercharger, it will show some new stuff. Just say yeah to it all and at the end, don't let it install its patched jar file, download and let the script patch the stock one. That should give you to 100%.
[Android General] D1358531:
Yep, it's the right one...now I'm gonna try the V6
[Android General] blackoakx22:
Hello I have been trying for the past 2 days to

1) install the Adb drivers for windows, it just says "A2107A-F driver not found" I have tried installing from the android SDK and also through some .IMF files I found on xda that were supposedly for the tablet.

2) also where is a recovery that works for the tab I can not find one that says for this specific tablet. I was able to root through ask in Linux but when it comes to Adb in windows its no go. Any ideas or directions would be best. thank you in advance.
[Android General] ShilohDaniel:
Use PDaNet to get the ADB drivers. For CWM, use ROM Toolbox to flash it. Easiest way, IIRC.
[Android General] blackoakx22:
PDANet doesn't see the device to install the drivers.
[Android General] ShilohDaniel:
PDaNet doesn't have to see the device to install the adb driver. It's universal.
[Android General] ShilohDaniel:
It automatically installs the adb driver when you install it.
[Android General] blackoakx22:
Oh for that duh. Sorry I was half awake when I posted that. I have the SDK installed with the latest Google drivers but it won't install no matter what so I have no clue what it could be. MTP and everything works just no Adb
[Android General] jetx2x:
Question for all of you... I see that some have successfully unlocked their bootloader using lenovos tools... I also see that some have complained about an ota update killing the ability to access fastboot/bootloader... Has anyone unlocked their bootloader before said ota update... Or does anyone have the ability to acess fastboot?

Edit: My thinking is this... I have worked on another phone that originally had an unlocked bootloader and and was ota'd which locked it... It was unlocked by flashing back to the unlocked one... Thinking I can devise a way to apply a similar technique to this device
[Android General] ShilohDaniel:
As far as I know, no one has unlocked the bootloader. We don't have any Lenovo tools to work with. Please stay on topic or start a new thread.
[Android General] ShilohDaniel:
Alpha 8 will be getting released sometime today. Only changes will be removal of all the wallpapers, and other small misc. things.
[Android General] KyleAndroid:
Thanks for all your hard work and dedication. We all really appreciate what you are doing for us!!!

[Android General] jonessl:
Daniel,

Appreciating you started your development for the unfortunate brother [F] and you do not wish to get the thread hijacked by [H], could I please ask whether you would consider developing an [H] version given the ones floating around may be more buggy than your [F] version? No doubt you do not have access to an [H], but if you could give me some pointers, I perhaps could work with you to develop an [H] version or a universal one? I don't like the idea of using Russian or Chinese ROMs because I do not know what they contain, despite the ingenuity of their respective devs.

Please let me know.

Stuart
[Android General] D1358531:
Her name is Shiloh, last name Daniel ;)
[Android General] jonessl:
Oops...

Sorry, Shiloh!
[Android General] ShilohDaniel:
I could do a -H version I guess. Don't see why not really. I would just need some testers willing to try out the rom once I got it finished. I may start another thread in a couple hours for the -H model rom for development of it. I'll post a link to it here once I do.
[Android General] jonessl:
Wow, that is truly wonderful!

As I said, I do not want to be selfish and distract you from completing what you have started for [F], so please let me know when you are ready and I will be a willing victim for testing!

Thanks again!
[Android General] ShilohDaniel:
The link to the thread is in my signature and here now. I should be able to start on it after I cook some dinner for my wife.

Easy Recovery after ROOT

I have found that the easiest way to get "CWM-based Recovery v6.0.1.5" on our A2107A-f devices is to do these very simple steps:

1. Put the included 'recovery.img' on the root of your external SD card "A HUGE thanks to D135831 for the recovery.img"

2. Install and run the included 'mobileuncle.apk,'(give root access) it will do a few second update (it is available through the market, but gives an incompatible error for our devices...) 'Thanks to numerous people for instructions on how and where for the mobileuncle.apk'

3.After the update to "mobileuncle" select Recovery Update, the recovery.img from the SD card will be at the top, select that, it will prompt you to continue, press "OK," this may take a few minutes but can also be done in a few seconds. If it boots to CWM you're ready to flash one of the wonderfully Developed BareBones ROM's made by the one and only Shiloh!!! :cool:
[Android General] KyleAndroid:
I have applied all my normal hacks and other tweaks and I have found this ROM to be running very smooth. I will post benchmarks as soon as possible. Thank you Shiloh!
[Android General] D1358531:
Now that the V6 is running at 100%, should I try adding the Kickass Kernelizer thing? lol
[Android General] macosta25:
A little help

Hi

I have to tell you that I'm very, very novice in this stuff. I downloaded the rom you cooked, but I have no idea how to installed it. I have my tab rooted, but every time I try to install the rom, it fails and the "Signature Verification Failed" message pops up. Please, can you help me? (pretty sure I need step by step instructions)

Thank you very much in advance.
[Android General] D1358531:
Do you have CWM Recovery?
[Android General] anil@aol.com:
A7 works great. Thanks. Did you release A8? Could not see a link.
[Android General] ShilohDaniel:
I haven't finished yet. Had some issues come up. I'll get it posted tomorrow, if not tonight.
[Android General] ShilohDaniel:
Just so y'all will know if I don't release a rom when I say or don't reply for a day or two, I've hurt myself pretty badly. Went to the ER last night for bad back pain and was told I have a bad disk that's either compressed (likely) or swollen. I know that all of you are ready for the next release, which will be the last alpha and I will try my hardest to get it uploaded tomorrow.

Before this last alpha, post any init.d tweaks or build.prop tweaks. I'll try to bake as many in as possible.
[Android General] KyleAndroid:
Personal health comes before anything else, we all hope you get better soon, and a speedy recovery. Hope it is nothing too serious! :fingers-crossed:
[Android General] macosta25:
Yes, but I'm not sure it works correctly.
[Android General] D1358531:
I'm not sure if this will help, but this is the thread that helped me: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2044496

Ok, I'm on pain meds today so I'll be getting to work on V8 now. This should be the last release where there are major changes. I'll post a link soon as I finish it up.
[Android General] D1358531:
After getting version 7 working great with V6, etc. I'm afraid to start over again lol
[Android General] ShilohDaniel:
Lol. I'm trying to figure out a way to make the V6 Supercharger flashable so it wouldn't need the setup bs. That may come later though since I'm now doing 2 roms. But, back to work for me, if I start slacking I'll never get it done. :)
[Android General] KyleAndroid:
V6 is very easy to do with the tutorial that was given, I could do a more simplified version of the tutorial if need be, but I very much look forward to A8. Let me know if you would like my assistance in the tutorial for V6 supercharger.

---------- Post added at 04:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:56 PM ----------

Flashable would be awesome!!!
[Android General] ShilohDaniel:
Uploading V9 right now. V8 wasn't good enough to post so I skipped it. I'll post a link in a few minutes.
[Android General] ShilohDaniel:
Here you go, V9 for you to download. Please post any bugs or tweaks you do to improve it so I may cook then into the rom. Enjoy. :)
[Android General] D1358531:
OK, so hopefully I'll be able to run V6 and the jar patcher thingy lol
[Android General] ShilohDaniel:
Lol. It should run fine. I haven't tested this one before I uploaded it, so let me know of any glitches.
[Android General] D1358531:
I've tried 3 browsers, but can't get it to download...hmmmm
[Android General] ShilohDaniel:
It's downloading fine in Opera.
[Android General] D1358531:
Finally got it to download with IE lmao
[Android General] ShilohDaniel:

[Android General] KyleAndroid:
Do you have a changelog or have you just removed a few more things in this one?;)
[Android General] raven1978:
i get a status 6 error code when installing the rom
[Android General] D1358531:
That sucks...well, I'll wait then. Thanks for letting us know. :)
[Android General] macosta25:
Thanks a lot

Actually, I used that thread to root the tablet, but I did something wrong that time and it was impossible to install the new rom. Following your advice I tryed it againg and it worked like a charm. THANKS A LOT for take me again to the right path.

Thank you very much to csns for the detailed instructions and, more importantly, a million thanks to Shiloh Daniel for her great work with the rom.

I don´t know how to retribute all you guys for the help. I´m a happy man now. God bless you all. :D
[Android General] blackoakx22:
im on V7 right now but is it only me that has the "External Storage Inserted" always in the notification bar? im going to look into removing the notification but any help would be helpful
[Android General] ShilohDaniel:
Give me a bit to fix V9 and upgrade to it. Sounds like a glitch in V7. If you still have it after upgrading, let me know and I'll write a fix for it.
[Android General] ShilohDaniel:

[Android General] KyleAndroid:
I have an unrooted unROMed A2107A-F that is on the latest ota firmware update and it has the same notification about external storage. Think it is just the build.
[Android General] anil@aol.com:
I have had V7 for a few days now, 100% supercharged and the tablet is a whole lot more fun. Thanks a lot again.

Tried V9.1. 100% supercharged. Seems as fast as V7. However, it does not seem to have Google Play. I also could not install Google Play from a backup. Am I missing something?

Thanks, again for making this tablet zip.
[Android General] ShilohDaniel:
Well, looks like I made a mistake somewhere with 9 and 9.1. Also, since it seems someone wants to take over my -H rom thread, I'll be staying in this thread again, so mistakes won't happen again.
[Android General] ShilohDaniel:
Stick with V7 for now. I think I see my mistake with 9 and 9.1. Stupid mistake really. May not need V6 Supercharger anymore. Found a flashable replacement I'm testing out. Quite probably will cook it into my final release.
[Android General] blackoakx22:
Sorry for what seems like constant badgering, however I'm on V7 and no matter what i do Superuser keeps force closing. I have reflashed it repushed Superuser and changed the permissions in going to try and change it with super su and see what happens, but am i the only one experiencing this?

Hey everyone just got this tablet today, rootimg amd flashing is a necessity to me, wondering if someone could point me in the right direction? Is it okay to use the same stuff as the h model? How do i root ? Sorry for being a pain

Just use the directions for the H model. That'll get you rooted and get cwm installed.
[Android General] nashy10:
can I flash roms from that device? Is it an actual forum or just a thread?
[Android General] ShilohDaniel:
It's just a thread. My rom is the only one available for the F model right now. Look through this thread and get the V7 of the rom.

One minor problem in V7: System settings -> About tablet -> Status gives this message: "Unfortunately, System settings has stopped".

It is not even important, but I just noticed it, so brought to your notice.
