Why is there no "wipe battery stats" option in CWM?

< Sent from my Rooted Sero 7 Pro >
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Gster09:
I think the idea that wiping battery stats offered some kind of battery calibration has been fairly well debunked. So perhaps the devs just felt it unnecessary. However, if you still feel like you must wipe them, open up a terminal app and type the following two lines when your device is fully charged.

Apps Opening Slowley

I have only rooted and installed custom Roms a few times on the SGS3 and now on my Sero 7 Pro, everything looks and works great after installing Xboxexpert's Sero7 ROM v².², I did wipe and clear everything as instructed before installing it, but the opening of Apps is slow, kinda like the animation settings need changed, I have experimented with all the Apex settings and nothing changes the response time when opening Apps,under the drawer settings it doesn't matter if I change it to fly in or fade out its still slow. Is there a setting for this?
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] paratwa53:
What do you consider slow? 3 sec, 2 sec, 1 sec, 1/2 sec?

Personally if it opens within 3 seconds, I find that exceptable. But that's my preferences

On my TV the display is cut off a bit on the top and bottom and I have black bars on the sides about an inch wide. This is the best I can get using the settings on my TV. I found an app that allows to change the display width and height. Click on the following URL and read post #7.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2294786

I tried it and I can get full screen but the app is buggy on this device. Anyway full screen is possible. I have an android TV box that uses arrows to adjust the screen and something like that for the Sero would be awesome. Also the option to turn the screen off but still have HDMI out would be nice but that might be asking for too much.

Almost forgot I am running the stock ROM rooted and USA model.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Cellular-Decay:
This is due to the fact that the tablet does not run at 16:9 resolution. 1280x800 is a 16:10 aspect ratio, so what you are seeing is the picture being scaled down to fit on the narrower 16:9 TV screen. The top and bottom should not be cut off, though. If you are seeing that, then you need to disable overscan on your TV.

However, if you want to fill your 16:9 TV screen, then you'll need to cut off the top and bottom even more. Essentially you need to display only 1280x720 of your 1280x800 tablet screen, which would crop off 40 pixels from the top and bottom (each). Most TV sets have screen adjustments and/or zoom settings that you could experiment with.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Gazoo119:
Thanks....that all makes sense. Yeah I know disabling over scan solves the height problem but then of course the displays width shrinks more. The settings on my TV are very basic. Its useable and for the first time last night I watched a 720p movie using XBMC and it was great. It seems it would not be difficult to develop an app that would work on this for screen adjustment. But i am not a developer so i really dont know what it would take.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] criscoula:
It seems slow but putting in seconds makes me feel it's normal seeings it takes less than a second. The first time I flashed it it seemed faster. I think I'm good. Thanks for the reply

[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Muffel2k:
I do experience 2 strange issues at the moment but I don't think they are related to the rom:

1.) When I reboot my tablet the wallpaper resets to the default one (wallpaper is located in my gallery)

2.) When I reboot my tablet the widgets on my lockscreen (widget locker) are gone and I have to reconfigure them manually
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] slicingtaco:
Did you flash tabletUI? Or did you revert back to stock UI?

MrSimmonsSr
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Muffel2k:
I just flashed the rom without any mods before I installed Full!screen to disable the keys on the bottom.

Well I got a solution for both:

1.) The wallpaper has been restored because of a setting in Full!screen. If it takes longer than x seconds the app will revert the wallpaper to stock. What a stupid setting!

2.) There is a bug (at least I think it's one) in HD WIdgets. If you place the same widget on the homescreen and on the lockscreen one of both will disappear on reboot. Gonna send a report to the dev

Anyway I performed a cache wipe just to be safe

And if your over 50 like I am, then watch out for layoffs. They love to get rid of people getting close to retirement. I know because I worked at Boeing in Mesa AZ for 25 years, then boom, laid off. Try finding a good paying job when your over 50. I now make less than half what I used to, try paying bills when you make less than half what you used to, but still have the same bills you did then.

I've tried connecting otg and a USB flash drive and the tablet does not recognize it or anything. Tried USB mount app from play store dates no storage device connected.

Also when I go to storage in setting there no info about connect a media device.

Can anybody confirm otg and USB flash device working.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] slicingtaco:
That's because it doesn't support OTG. I think you can mount everything else besides storage devices.

Hello guys, I've the tablet the other day and directly rooted and installed this custom ROM.

However I've experienced some battery drain...

I saw in reviews battery should last around 9h...

Take a look at the shot:
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] RepeatUntilTheEnd:
Is your screen set to maximum brightness? Even if it was, that seems like a lot of drain for three hours but I'm not sure how much you're using it. If the screen is on and active and you're playing a game it could very easily drop 18% in three hours.

I've been using mine sparingly and days go by between charges.

I would check how it performs with the screen off overnight. Also, check your app auto refresh settings if you haven't already.

gnex|s7pro|dinc
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] DavidSnake:
No not really.. I took the shot while the phone was at idle, only WiFi on.

Brightness is around 40%.

I still haven't used much the tablet so I don't know what could be...

Is there way to restart battery status at recovery or something?

[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] cold40:
Well with GSam I found out I was getting wakelocks which turned out to be a glitch with audio settings I think, and that a bunch of apps were doing background communication that I didn't need causing drain. Things like zedge, tibu, dolphin (which I only use as a backup browser), zynga poker, Facebook (I don't use it for messaging and I have all notifications for it turned off anyway, so I don't need it active all the time), etc, so I hibernated those and some others. Seemed to make a huge difference. You'll have to look through the list Greenify shows you and decide what's appropriate for your needs.

[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] morfic:
I accidentally built a nexus prime kernel without SELinux, everything ran fine. It simply reported SELinux as disabled (instead of permissive, which still restricts nothing)

So once you have cm10.1 up and running, consider 10.2 because the lack of SELinux won't keep it from working.

And you'll have to build 10.2 with all the available drivers anyway, so the kernel matching those should be fine.

power off,

power on, hold volume down, and enter recovery.

the device is not seen as mass storage, or camera, or anything, unless i'm in recovery mode, and select "update from adb".

what am i doing wrong ? i want to root it.

Thanks Xboxexpert.

Finally pulled the trigger (thanks to this forum) on an S7. Running Xbox's 180DPI ROM with the tablet UI. It' is running great and I am looking foward to more dev's jumping on board and giving this tablet a little more funcionality, USB OTG ext drive mounting is 1 big one and possibly some overclocking options. Hopefully Hisense follows through and releases the source code for this tablet. Getting CM 10.1 or 10.2 with JB 4.3 would be amazing and I really hope this will happen for us. I do have one question about the custom kernel that is on the current rom, did it add some additional features or function, or is it possible to run the stock kernel with this rom?

Big thanks Xbox!
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] RepeatUntilTheEnd:
Not sure if this is what you need, but do you have development settings active with root settings for apps and adb?

If not go to about and tap build number until its active. Go back and into the new dev options menu. You'll see root access there. Select apps and adb and then go back and select debugging.

Sorry for noob question, but is there a way to get rid of that camera widget on the lock screen? I hate it when my camera turns on when it is locked because I slide the rotating widgets to the right by accident.. Would like to remove that one widget and use some others in place of it. I can add others, but I can't seem to long hold on that one to be able to delete it. Every time I try to long press it, it starts up the camera app instead.. Is there another way to get rid of it?

Also is there some other, better, app to use to control the lock screen? Just curious what others are using.

Something is making me feel like this got discussed here before, but I can't find it now.
