Yet another exciting moment for the Sero 7. I hope it pans out. Also on a side note. I've been extremely busy helping raise a child and working full time to play around with this thing any more than using it to fly my AR Drone which now seems to have a bad navigation board. I would assist further but I don't really have too much time on my hands these past weeks.

Have checked entire thread but cannot find any reference to what I am abut to post, if I am wrong then I'm sorry I missed it.

Volume of Speakers

If you want some extra volume out of the Sero 7 speakers you might like to try this, it worked for me.

1) Use your choice of File Manager to open the file ..... /system/build.prop ..... in a Text Editor.

2) Scroll down "build.prop" until you reach the section dealing with "Speaker Volume", there you will find 3 sections ..... "audio.speaker.voice" ..... "audio.earpiece.voice" ..... "audio.headphone.voice".

3) I only altered the first one "audio.speaker.voice" it's up to you if you wish to alter the others.

4) There are 6 values you can alter .....

value 0 is at 20 I altered it to 30

value 1 is at 21 I altered it to 30

value 2 is at 24 I altered it to 30

value 3 is at 26 I altered it to 30

value 4 is at 28 I altered it to 30

value 5 is at 31 I left it at 31

Maybe it's my hearing but I found the volume improved :good:

After you finish the editing of the file "Save" it and the system will save your original version as ..... "build.prop.bak" ..... making it easy to revert the file if you wish.

Hey just noticed this, my buddy and I both have the Sero 7 Pro, but looking into it further it shows our wireless cards aren't made by the same manufacturer. So if these aren't all based on the same hardware is that going to make setting up new roms more of a challenge?

Thanks a lot for joining in. I wish I could help too but I am not a developer. Just a leech on the forum. It's great to get more folks involved with this great device.

Android animation

Here is a pretty one, it was created by my good friend "JaeKar99" who has been a mentor to me in respect of animations on the Acer A500. All credit goes to him for the creation, my part in this was to tweak it and port it to our device.

Usual caveat::: rename to .....bootanimation.zip ..... place it in ...../system/media ..... rename old one if you wish to preserve it.

Preview GIF::: Due to the difference in creating "animated GIFs" compared to "bootanimations" the GIF plays through repeatedly from the beginning whereas the animation plays it's 1st part then repeats it's last frames.

Are you by any chance selling your root method on eBay?
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] xboxexpert:
Yup, I create easy to use instruction manuals for various devices. I mainly sell the teamviewer time for me to sit on my butt on my PC and remotely root your device or in many cases fix failed attempts. When I get home from work I service my clients who pay for the manuals. Seems trivial to sell something that is free if you use Google but you would be surprised the amount of people who don't want to search or do it them selves. I had this one elderly woman once that say on the phone with me for 2 hours and she ended up giving me a nice tip. People appreciate the learning experience of hands on tutorials.

Gotta make extra money some how.

What is the deoxed kernel and build number? I just for fun went to recovery and wiped dalvik and cache. Upon reboot it updated all my apps in a suspiciously update-like fashion and my build is P756.6. 01. 01.00 kernel 3.1.10.

OC kernel

I'm running the ROM and kernel from this thread and everything is humming along beautifully (much thanks to xboxexpert!) but I just need a little more headroom to get a few things running perfect. Even with SetCPU set to performance I'm getting some stuttering in emulators and a few apps that I didn't see in my previous overclocked Tegra 3 devices.

Is anyone interested in putting together a bounty on an overclock kernel for the Sero 7 Pro? We could offer it up to some of the kernel developers for the Nexus 7. I'd be willing to put up at least $20 to get us started.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] jDude:
P756.6.01.01.00 & 3.1.10 is the current stock firmware.

I still have the "System update downloaded" Touch to install, on my notification bar.. If I click on that, it shows P756.6.02.11.00 in the info.. and a button "Restart & install".

I suppose that you are not running the stock firmware?
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] xboxexpert:
I received your P756.6.02.11.00 zip I'm going to flash in CWM with the odexed system. I'll then see if I can root if I can i'll proceed with a fully flashable P756.6.02.11.00 rooted and if needed replacement recovery....again. Give me some time its 1AM.

Update: every which way I try and install that update it fails. I'm reverted to stock i'm going to see if it update pulls in when I check for update. I tried CWM, sideloading with stock recovery, update.zip nothing worked.

Update2: I'm back on the stock ODEXed ROM and stock recovery and no update is available for me.

I'll pitch in $10. If you are going to contact someone, I'd suggest Clemsyn. He was the guy who got some notoriety on tech sites for his ability to overclock the Nexus 7. Most of the kernels on the N7 forum are based on his work.

I was stock, then flashed XE-SeroROM, then came back to stock. Vudu force closes, however, so I get the suspicion that maybe I'm not totally back to stock. I'll let you guys know what happens.

Update: As mentioned earlier in the thread, it tossed me into recovery and attempted to install, but failed when it was nearly done.

Booted up without a problem and showed the "Upgrading apps" message, once it was done it booted up as normal.

I have 2 tablets. Both are rooted using option 3 (super stripped) with TableUI and Green Circle.

One tablet received the update, the other did not.

I downloaded the update and moved it from /cache to downloads.

I installed Autorun Manager and and tweaked the Google System Framework to hide the annoying update notice in the notification bar.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] FNPonderous:
Can you tell me which receivers you disabled in the Google System Framework? I would like to hide the notice as well.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] kngdmond:
If you use the Autorun Manager app:

Start the app.

Select advanced mode.

In the settings enable show show and edit system settings.

Show system apps only.

Find Google System Framework & expand it.

Find com.Google.android.gfs.update.SystemUpdateService$Receiver and uncheck that.

Reboot

That annoying update and future system update messages will go away...but all other notifications will still work.

To re-enable just repeat the process and check it on.

As an update I've messaged the top 5 or so (by thread size) kernel devs for the Nexus 7 about working on an overclock kernel for us. The GPU specifically can go pretty high on the Tegra 3 so fingers crossed guys.

I've just confirmed for anyone dying to get the update installed for those who haven't received yet should roll back the untouched STOCK OS provided by OP, stock recovery and stock Kernel in order for the OTA to apply. Every OTA goes through SHA-1 checking (kinda like MD5, but different) of every file under the system partition and all have to match or else it will fail (E: Error 7). Have a look for your self in what goes on through the update process in recovery.
