Alright so to solve some of my blob problems I decided to cook the latest cm10.2 grouper nightly and it is booting. So now I have cm10.2 running on my sero7 pro and I can diff the blobs and get a proper vendor tree set up for proper builds :D

no that cm rom is the equivalent of the scratch piece of paper used to write a first draft of an essay it's cooked not built it has no wifi an no audio I used it to grab some blobs :)

[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] taba4real:
Nice!!! Will be cheering on the sides... hehehe I agree hopefully the kernel source will be released but if you are to come up with a 4.3 CM Rom tonight I guess you have developed something more advance than Hisense themselves(they promised end of Fall for their Stock 4.3 release).... =)

Nice Job!!! Noob question, was curious when i skimmed through OTG and Mass Storage, i am seeing a lot of those lines not set... Is this something like changing it to set will change the behavior? Sorry but just new at this and trying to learn it to understand better...
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] randomblame:
it depends on the hardware if it doesn't support it then enabling support in the kernel will not change anything. without the board files and driver changes though this will not easily result in a working kernel it basically outlines some of the drivers needed and not much else. it is helpful for setting up wifi and audio though

*can someone dump the latest kernel for me I never let the updates happen on my device I'm running the apr 17 kernel

I didn't know this thing existed till yesterday and this thread is so cluttered no one will ever find anything lol I put in a request for a device forum in the rd section hopefully someone will see it and consider it.

I'm working on audio at the moment - got sick of wifi so I moved on to the next problem. I cleaned out my vendor tree and got it all set up properly and I'm doing some reorganizing in my device tree now too. Hope to push to git soonish.

[ROM] Custom ROM based on 6.02.20 update

While y'all are waiting for something exciting to happen, here's something to keep you occupied...

I've just posted a customized ROM based on the most recent update from Hisense. Like xboxexpert's efforts, this one is rooted, de-bloated, and de-odexed. It also has a few nice enhancements: TabletUI and PhabletUI are available "on demand" (no patch needed), and ADB always runs as root. The ROM is set up for 213dpi but if you prefer 180dpi (and prefer not to edit build.prop), there's a patch you can apply via CWM.

Installation

Unless you want to start from scratch, do NOT wipe or clear anything - the install script will do what's needed.

copy the file(s) to your internal or external SD card

reboot into CWM, then select "install zip from sdcard"

I recommend you select "toggle signature verification"; enabling this will confirm the file hasn't gotten corrupted

choose the menu entry corresponding to where you put the file(s), then select "sero7pro-bld60220-dopa-v1.zip" from the list

after confirming your selection, the update will display what it's doing; you should NOT see any error messages (tell me if you do)

if you'd like to use the 180dpi patch ("sero7pro-bld60220-180dpi-v2.zip"), you can install it now; alternately, you can come back and do that later

reboot

Notes

much of the app-bloat this ROM tries to eliminate (such as Sams Club or Playstore Magazines) may still be present if you've ever gotten updates for any of these apps. To get rid of them permanently, uninstall them using Settings->Apps->Downloaded. For "system" apps like the Google stuff, select "Uninstall updates", then "OK" when it asks if you want to revert to the factory-installed version (which doesn't exist anymore). The apps will be gone for good.

to enable TabletUI or PhabletUI mode, open the Xposed Installer app and enable it via the "Framework" option but don't reboot yet. Back out and choose "Modules". Select either Xposed PhabletUI or Xposed TabletUI (but NOT both). While you're there, enable GravityBox and App Settings, then back out and reboot. Note that GravityBox's Quick Access tiles and statusbar mods only work with PhabletUI and not TabletUI. To get the full effect from either, open Apex Launcher's settings and select "Homescreen settings->Use tablet UI mode".

Not sure if I've asked this before, but is there a debloated version of latest ROM available for UK 32GB version of this tablet? Are there any developers in the UK working on this?

Please note I'm not asking for ETAs or anything, I'm just curious (and hopeful) that us UK 32GB Hisense users will get to play with 4.3 on our tablets...

Thanks dolorespark. The 180dpi zip isn't working but I just manually changed it in the build prop

Sorry 'bout that. I've posted corrected zips (...-v2.zip)
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Tool Belt:
Giving it a try dolorespark, thanks! Have found using either UI when I set gravitybox/hardware key/back key long press/kill foreground app it does a reboot instead of killing the app.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] dolorespark:
That's interesting. However, given that this tablet doesn't have a hardware back key, I'm not surprised this function doesn't work as expected (some of the other actions do work and are better behaved). You may want to contact the developer to see if his code can distinguish between hardware and software keys.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Tool Belt:
Thanks. No worries, just wanted to bring it to your attention.

Thanks for the hard work!

Photos of ROM

Hi,

I say, go ahead and load the new ROM. As was said; don't clear the previous load before flashing, so it's very easy to flash in Recovery. I would post some photos, but aside from the change of the Software information in Settings, there's nothing to show. I like NOVA as apposed to the APEX launcher in the ROM, so I added that because it allows one to delete the time from the top info border. still it looks a lot like APEX. The boot animation is the same as the previous Sero Pro ROM and the UI is probably so similar, except for the fact that one can choose, really, a stock look only smaller dpi, or one like the previous ROM. Still, the thing runs well and I think smoother than the previous ROM. But that's all to some degree subjective on the loaded apps etc. Battery life, which has been good is still good. Truth is though, I have kept the "upgrade stock" ROM on my SD for the time when Hisense sends along the 4.3 upgrade.

Mine doesn't do this. I can hear it if I adjust the volume but it shuts off after about a second. No noise after that even when volume is maxed out.

[MENTION=5094650]dolorespark[/MENTION] - after I install Framework in the Xposed Installer, when I click on the Tablet (or the Phablet) UI, I get the error message: This module does not provide a user interface. GravityBox also will not load - says system framework not responding. I have tried both before rebooting and after rebooting. Still get the errors. Suggestions?

I did it in GravityBox under the Power tweaks/Advanced reboot menu option.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] brunes:
Mine is constantly making a noise, even if muted. It is not something you can hear unless you hold the speaker directly up to your ear.

The only way i can get it to stop is reboot the tablet, then it goes away. But after some indeterminate period of time it starts again.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] lordroy:
So, is this the only real dev thread for the Sero 7? Looking around I must be missing something, right?
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] dolorespark:
The way Xposed Installer's Modules screen works is less than obvious. At the far left of each entry is a checkbox. You have to tap directly on it to enable that module. Once you've checked off the ones you want, reboot to activate them.

If you touch the icon or anything to its right, you get the module's "control panel" (if any). Until the module has been integrated into the system (something that can only happen at startup), it may not be able to display anything useful.

GravityBox offers that in its "Power tweaks" section. That was a feature I wanted, and since GB offered it - along with a whole lot more - I decided to include it instead of Modaco. The fact that Modaco's author specifically requests it not be included in custom ROMs was also a factor.

So far, this is pretty much the only thread in town. Actually, I was planning on starting a new one to cover my ROM and some updated root/CWM scripts. The goal is not to take attention away from this thread but merely to make those packages easier to find.

I followed DoPa's steps exactly and did not wipe or clear anything. Unfortunately, a lot of my apps and data (much of which was on a sep partition on my SD card and running via Link2SD and some other data stored via Folder Mount) were missing from the Sero's app tray. The prospects of having to reinstall these did not make the ROM worthwhile to me at this time. Maybe I'll learn more. At any rate, I restored my data/apps and 6.02.11 OS via a very recent CWM backup. I then re-ran the rooted stock 6.02.20 that DoPa created earlier. FolderMount (trial version) is also working on 3 data hog apps. Everything was restored ok and I re-established the Link2SD links. That's where I am. If anyone has a clue why my install of the ROM didn't retain apps and data, I'd like to know as I might want to re-try. Ciao!

I wish someone would come out with a simple patch to enable App2SD. If Samsung can do it for a phone, a dev should be able to to it for this tab. Please???
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] BigJohn89:
App2SD won't work because of the way that Android mounts and recognizes the SD card. There are fixes for it, but from what I understand, they are best implemented at the kernel level - which leaves us stranded without the source code...

Unfortunately, it looks like FolderMount is the best solution so far. I use it, and with the paid version, you can link as many folders as you want - making it worth the $1.99. Even with a bunch of heavy games and a zillion tech books, I am still barely scratching the surface of the on-board storage.

BTW, just to report, I dirty flashed DoPa's latest ROM, and haven't had any issues so far. It runs like buttah; now I just have to kill off the screenshot button. LOL
