sometimes the problems 'described' are so vague that i'm not sure what is being asked.

things like 'this doesn't work' could mean anything!

if the problem is with the 'clear all' button...it does indeed work.

the hitbox for it is rather tiny tho and is surrounded by the larger activation area to swap to the settings pane.

if you hit it dead center, it does function... it sure would be nice if the hitbox for that button could be enlarged some how tho... ;)
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Lander3:
Please read what I wrote again. Neither the clear all button, nor swiping removes the entry, only the text. It still leaves a big black space where the notification was, and the icons still appear in the bar. The clear all button simply does *nothing* when this behavior starts to occur, not even removing the text.

This isn't what I said at all, and in fact I tried to be as detailed as possible in my original posting on the matter. Sorry, the problem couldn't be summed up in 5 words and required reading a few sentences.

bsoplinger already replied acknowledging that this appears to be a common problem across multiple devices. I'm not sure it's TabletUI causing it, unless it's part of the ROM even if you don't explicitly flash the mod, as I saw this happening even before I flashed TabletUI onto the ROM, with the hopes that maybe I had missed something that was causing it to bug out. I'd be happy to try and help narrow it down for a bug fix if there's a developer that wants to do the digging in the ui code segments.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] DreadApex:
you wrote: "Any idea why on the XE-SeroROM v².², notifications get stuck in the notification bar, and cannot be cleared? Is there a fix to this?"

while this may seem like an absorbent amount of detail for someone who hopefully already knows what he is talking about, it leaves a lot up to the imagination.

I have not noticed anything 'getting stuck' to the point where i was unable to unstick them, unless i specifically asked an app to do so with it's notifications.

The fact that people are confused about the question and there is a low response to it in general should say something.

I guess I could go on with a rant about how being rude to the few people, who were forced to speculate about the meaning of your question in order to help you, is not the way to go about getting assistance with issues... but instead, i'll go with 'Good luck, have a nice day!'.

I just dirty flashed v2.2 and it appears that it removed users? I had two users setup and now there's no mention of users in the system settings.

I'm stuck in boot loop and now my battery is dead too.

Device will not charge.

I have a UK 32gb Sero 7

I need a stock UK room if somebody could send a backup I would be grateful.

I have to somehow figure out a way to charge the battery.

Before the battery died I was able to get into recovery. I flashed a us rom by mistake which caused the device to brick.

If i get a stock UK backup I should be able to then restore and fix the bootloop.

Thanks

I had the same problem running the U.S rom. I was down to 16% of the battery before I decided to do a backup of my stepson's Sero then install it on mine. It got me back and running.

I know it's probably to late to mention this, but I learned my lesson by not doing a backup first and placing it on my external SD card. Now I always have a backup handy just in case.

As for charging your dead battery, sorry, I have no idea.

I posted this first: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=44712048&postcount=1379 and then replied again after xboxexpert seemingly didn't see it and replied to someone that posted after me. It's not like it is pages back, it's only a few replies ago. It was even quoted with someone else reporting the same problems only a few replies ago, whom I also acknowledged in my previous reply, so you missed the original reply yet again in your urgency to get a reply in. It's cool if you don't or can't help with this matter, but please don't reply with some coy and demeaning attitude when you didn't even bother to read what was posted in some attempt to get brownie points with xboxexpert.

[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] xboxexpert:
I'm really not sure why it happens. I utilize a autopatcher and have no insight on how tabletUI works or the innerds of the modification. I simply compiled something that I tested. I can however tell you maybe 2 out of 10 times I click the little notification area and it does not pop up. Its just a lag/glitch I have come to deal with because the rom is somewhat 100% aside that that for my daily use.

As for ignoring you I some times post from my cell phone, yes its the SGS4 and the screen is big, sometimes I skip or don't see things. Wasn't deliberate so sorry...
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] dsimages:
I've search but couldn't find any info. I purchased a tablet yesterday, rooted and installed a custom ROM. For some reason I no longer have haptic feedback in the keyboard.

Any ideas?
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] xboxexpert:
Its totally in the settings.

[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Ogre6473:
I found another annoying little bug. This one is more major if you're an audiophile. The system seems to be missing equalizer capabilities. The N7 equalizer doesn't work at all and other apps just kill the volume once you turn up values in their EQ.

P.S. Also noticed that the inline music controls on headsets doesn't work. It will pause and play, but not respond to double or triple clicks correctly.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] kngdmond:
People might criticize me, but I bought and use Winamp and the equalizer works fine. No sound drop at all. I haven't tried any fancy headphones, but I have used some above average Sony's and they sound just fine. Hooked the tablet up to my car stereo and it sounds great too. I even tested it with my xtlive, guitar, and full stack....sounded great.

Are you using the tablet UI mod? If not, that may be part of my issue.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] megabite:
Hi,

As I've flashed a us rom, I can't just use the img files to fix it right?

I managed to get the battery charged enough for recovery thanks to Alpinestar777 who advised to charge via usb on pc as it will charge but very slowly.

Would you be kind enough to send me a copy of your backup so i can restore it to UK?

Any help here would be great.

Thanks!

Uk Rom

was just curious as to whether you had made any more progress with the UK versions of the Rom yet, xboxexpert? what you have achieved for us so far is truly great. however, given there seems to be a few problems being reported by UK users who have used the US rom and also that i am a complete dimwit with this stuff, wanted to make sure whether to wait or go ahead with the US rom.

TIA
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Lander3:
Sorry, I didn't mean to make it sounds like I was criticizing you for missing the post the first time. I totally understand that you do this "for fun", which is why I tried to politely respond (and reword it slightly) a second time. I was only irritated at the guy that was being snide and trying to insinuate this was some sort of user error, and that my posts weren't detailed enough to describe the problem.

Regarding your autopatcher, and tabletUI, is this the UI that is running stock on the kernel you compiled? As I mentioned before, I didn't really notice any difference whether I flashed tabletUI or not, the same look and feel existed either way, including the launcher. To be honest, the only reason I rooted in the first place was to get rid of the screenshot button, as I didn't want my kids filling the storage by hitting it all the time by mistake, and for multi-user support (which may not have even required a custom rom, I didn't check into that too heavily). However, the UI in your kernel is pretty cool, in that it combines the notification and control buttons into one, saving on the vertical height.

If we can determine where the bug is occurring (specifically which part of the code, be it tabletUI or something else), I'd be happy to repost this in the appropriate developer location for that piece of code, and/or help get it fixed at the code level.

Thanks!
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] kngdmond:
Yeah I am using TabletUI.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] megabite:
Mate if your tablet is rooted and working, don't flash it with a US rom otherwise you will be stuck like me.

I would wait for a bit and see how development goes as the device is fairly new.

If you have a UK one and know how, could I be cheeky and request a copy of your backup so i can restore my tablet? Please...

Lol

Thanks
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Prettygrim:
hi there. ok. i'll hold off until xbox has put another rom out. i am assuming that leaving it just as it is but with the addition of having root done will be ok?

i am waiting for a friend of mine to sort the Sero out for me, showing me what to do at the same time, hopefully. i know nothing about tablets at all, so have to learn.

unfortunately, as you will have guessed, i cant help you atm. as soon as my mate has sorted me out, i wll pm you to see if you still need a backup. if i can then help you, i obviously will.

as post #1 had been changed, i was hoping the UK roms etc were sorted. seems to not be the case. waiting now for xbox to do what needs to be done. hope his missus is feeling better as well so maybe that will ease the pressure for him.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] megabite:
Hi

Root gives you root access so u can make changes to the system. As far as I know some apps require root access so it can be useful. Also if you want custom roms you want root access. I'm no expert so correct me if I'm wrong.

Now for the custom roms for the Hisense, as xboxexpert states in his first post is that the file system is different meaning the structure is different on the uk 32gb tablets so you can't use those roms and hence I cannot boot into the os.

Hopefully more people will buy this tablet and it gets a little more development.

:thumbup: thanks in advance if u get the backup.

Added UK Stock ROM in Post 2

Obviously all these UK roms and stuff are untested!
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] urimberry:
First thank xboxexpert, you did great job for this tablet.

Today I received my mini HDMI cable that bought from ebay, so I can connect my Hisense sero 7 pro to TV. But I can not change the HDMI output resolution, it is the mirror of tablet screen with same resolution.

Is it possible to change the HDMI output resolution?
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Prettygrim:
many tnx for all your hard work, xboxexpert.

will you continue to try to do UK versions of what you have done with the US rom?

Bootloop....wipe data/factory reset after you flash the rom
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] megabite:
ok so hats off to you my friend xboxexpert... ive got the tablet working...

Follow this procedure if anyone else has the same issue... (or try what xboxexpert has posted above as that would be much quicker - i didnt actually try this as I only read it after I had done the below).

1) as Alpinestar777 said, the device will charge even though it comes up with a message saying dead battery. Just connect it to your pc or laptop and it will slow charge whilst the pc or laptop is on...

2) then booted into recovery and flashed back the stock uk rom which xboxexpert has kindy provided

3) use fastboot and the drivers xboxexpert has provided in his zip file... then reflashed the uk recovery and boot images...

4) restarted tablet, gave it some time and hey presto after a few minutes the "smart" hisense logo was back on the screen.. at that point i could smell successful and few minutes later i was in!

Thanks again!

I believe you'll need to go back and redo whatever magic you did the first time to re-enable multi users. When you updated the ROM you went back to the default behavior which is just a single user.

I'm wondering the same. Tried mine last night (just plugged it into our TV) and the resolution is not really HD. Apparently there IS a setting but I can't find it...

Am using the UK 32gb Sero 7 Pro and think it's the most useful gadget i've ever had (it's my first tablet).

Am tempted to root it but to be honest I don't feel the need to at the moment. HDMI output in HD would be very useful though.

I don't know why you'd still have the old boot animation, but that's not necessarily indicative of anything being wrong.

The bootanimation sequence is all contained in one zip file. If I recall correctly it's bootanimation.zip in /system/media/. You can replace it manually if you know how to do that (making sure to set the right permissions) or wait for the kindness of XDA members who may make you a flashable *zip. (note: bootanimation.zip is NOT flashable).

What animation are you trying to get on your tablet?
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] kngdmond:
This honeycomb boot animation can be flashed. I'll leave it on my server for a couple days. I think its also re-sized for the Sero display.

deathdesigns.com/boot_animation.zip

Make sure your bootanimation.zip has rw-r--r-- permissions.

EDIT - if you want to change the animation, just open up the archive, extract the original boot animation and replace the PNG's, then re-zip it exactly like the original.

This has been tested and works on the US 8 GB Sero 7 Pro.

If the UK bootanimation.zip resides in the /system/media/ folder then it should work on that tablet as well. Make a CWM backup before testing.

Hey all, I want to thank all of you that have done the work on this tablet. It's been great and I can't sing the praises enough of the progress and potential. With that said, I was hoping someone could help me out (I apologize ahead of time if this seems like a newbie/stupid question).

hey xboxexpert, some probably dumb questions but still, can you tell me please if there are any of the additional items you have done that will work on the UK Sero 7 Pro please? i am talking about the circle battery icon and the tablet ui? is Modaco only for the US model and part of the US rom you did? i appreciate that there are no roms other than for the US models and they seem to be unsuitable for the UK model, causing problems. will i do any actual damage to things if i uninstall (if i am able) any of the bits from the stock rom that i dont want or does everything have to stay installed?

dum dum questions maybe, but still

cheers
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Lander3:
You have to use another app/mod with it (modaco) for multiple users, but it does work. The notifications are not removed or separated from user A and B as far as I've seen on mine, and I've also reported another annoying bug where the notifications cannot be removed in some cases, without a reboot. It might actually be related to user switching, but I don't use the tablet (it's for my kids), and haven't had time to check in detail (especially since it's probably not related to this rom directly).

is it possible that this app is only working in landscape mode? still got the black bar (without icons) on the bottom ... At least on the homescreen in portrait mode
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Oscar_david:
So you must have a different set up than I. All I get on my lock screen is the clock. Though I use a pin instead of swipe to unlock, I wonder if that's the difference..

Also, don't know why it's only working in portrait mode for you. I specifically like that app because it gets rid of the ui altogether when watching videos (if you set it to fully transparent, it's just hot corners. But confusing to anyone else trying to use the tab).

Maybe it's in the settings. Maybe try a reboot.

[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Muffel2k:
okay, after playing around with several apps and configuration files I came across this:

213 Dpi Rom + build.prop entry "qemu.hw.mainkeys=1" --> Keys and black bar disappeared

180 Dpi Rom + build.prop entry "qemu.hw.mainkeys=1" --> Keys and black bar disappeared

213 Dpi Rom + TabletUI Mod + build.prop entry "qemu.hw.mainkeys=1" --> Keys and black bar still there

180 Dpi Rom + TabletUI Mod + build.prop entry "qemu.hw.mainkeys=1" --> Keys and black bar still there

So I guess there is an entry inside one of these TabletUI Mod files which prevent the qemu entry from working. But if I hide the Keys and the black bar anyway, do I need the TabletUI Mod?
