I've added four CircleBatt Mods that are flashable zips and retain tabletUI to the post 3 downloads section.

My front camera works but it needs bright light to register an image. Maybe it's a built in "feature" to not take a picture with low light.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] xboxexpert:
There are tons of edits in the system folder somewhere for front facing camera tweaks let me look around. Then again he front facing camera is like running at 2MP and with low light atmosphere, you will get that graininess you speak of. This is true of any camera.

Attached is a high res of the front camera. Its easily accessible and could be replaced with a higher quality one if needed. I could probably even mod a LED to blind the crap out of you while you skype under the covers LOL ;)

Great ROM, Thanks for your work. Using it as my base ROM.

Just a couple of things. I think you took too much from the system, and left the system partition with over 300 MB of wasted space. Some applications like Gmail, Maps, Streets and such is better to leave them in the system partition, most user gonna install them anyway, wasting more our valuable data space (we have only closer to 6 GB space available). So moving as much as possible to the ROM side is freeing more data space. I moved those apps to the system folder, as well the odex files, since I don't use the xposed framework.

Another thing is you forgot to leave the Browser bookmarks sync application in system (ChromeBookmarksSyncAdapter.apk), without it our stock browser can't synchronize our desktop Chrome bookmarks, I added it by myself and is working perfect without any troubles.

And a question: if you deleted Vudu, why keeping the "air.com.vudu.air.DownloaderTablet" folder in the "lib" folder, any special reason? I deleted it and so far the tablet works fine without it.

I really like the tablet UI and all the modifications you did. Congratulations!
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] TonyBigs:
Great work indeed!

I've had my tablet apart as well. The camera looks like an "off the shelf" unit.

I replaced the haptic sensor with one from Samsung that makes much less racket/rattling. (gotta solder with a fine point tip!)
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] xboxexpert:
Kekinash, I'll some stuff back over as you have a wonderful point. I was unaware of the ChromeBookmarksSyncAdapter and I must have missed the air.com.vudu...because it was 1AM when I was compiling. In any case I'm going to be doing a revision with the specifics or at least a revision with the requests from your thread. I'll just make it a "slightly debloated" package :)

First off thank you for the wonderful donation. Secondly I'm going to start hardware modding in a few I have a inductive charger I'm going to install since the points are pretty much right out there in the open to play with. I'm also going to see if I cant improve upon the rather ****ty design at a "heatsink/spreader" they decided to kindergarten glue to the back of the plastic case. That being the "spot that gets warm near the camera" Its the CPU/GPU cooking under there.

Outstanding work on this! Now.. if I can only convince Blurex to produce and ultra-slim case for it... (Already asked and they said it wasn't in the plans):(

I was wondering if anyone has considered an internal/external SD card swap mod, similar to this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2229848

Back when I had my Acer A100, XDA member Crossix created a mod that seamlessly switched the cards. The only downside was that you had to completely shut down the device to remove the card, but it was a nice upgrade from the usual folder mounting apps.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] xboxexpert:
I could probably make a CWM flashable zip that does that....later on today when I'm out of work I'll take a closer look.

Can someone help me please? I follow the steps in post 2 but i got this error after updating the driver in the device manager.

"error: protocol fault (status read)" then following seeing this "error: more than one device and emulator".

Thanks,

First off Do you have ADB Debugging enabled? If so and you still get the error then PM me a Teamviewer ID and PW and I'll remotely assist you really quick.

Flashed your ROM and the Blue TabletUI w/ Tiny Circle Battery Icon Mod, but still have the screenshot button, and was surprised to see the Walmart and Sam's Club apps still in there. I've got the circle battery and Xposed Installer, so the flashes worked, but wondering if something didn't go all the way through?
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] xboxexpert:
Update to this post: I dropped a deodexed stock rom in post 2 so people can build off it. Have a blast. Its backwards compatible with the tabletUI and Color Battery Icon zips. Just flash them and they will work.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] xboxexpert:
This was resolved by turning the BlueStacks service off in Services.MSC. BlueStacks is a android emulator that if installed will confuse command line ADB functions into thinking their are two phones connected. I turned off the service and it worked just fine.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] vizenmaster:
Thank you for your help. You're the test :)
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] xboxexpert:
You have the screenshot button in a tabletUI mode??? I'd really like to see that because that's something I was trying to achieve in some testing last night. Did you clear your system and data after flashing my rom? Also did you boot first before flashing tabletUI. I would be interested in seeing you get into a file manager program and see if /thirdparty has stuff still in it.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] vizenmaster:
Thank you for your help. You're the best. FYI turn out that I had BlueStack running. Disabling it and that should work.

For a flashaholic, probably not the right device...

But my chick LOVES this thing and thank you very very much xboxexpert. We'd have returned it if we couldnt get root. She couldnt be happier...(she's never ran CM ;p)
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] YaKillaCJ:
Here is the thing. As stock the rom runs great. I know your pain. I'm am all about bleeding edge when it comes to android. The funny part is I don't feel like I'm missing anything as far as functionality. Take it from someone who has rooted at least 25 different devices thanx to xda and its fine developers community. That being said, only thing I feel like I'm missing are those lil random customization like color changing and shortcuts on the lock screen, ect. I do like that it except much alteration via root. So thanx Xboxexpert for giving us solid grid to work on. Mine is nicely setup for me... Root only apps I'm using and tested with clean results are.

XboxExpert, I just wanted to say thank you for the awesome work you are doing with the Sero 7 Pro! I picked mine up last night at Walmart in Ukiah, CA and I LOVE this thing, I have had a lot of tablets and I am floored at how nice this tablet is for the price, and it beats the Nexus 7 on features like SD Card and Bluetooth, so cool! Prior to this most bargain tablets were, well, to put it bluntly, lousy, this really shows what can be done for this price, hopefully it will get the other guys to move their prices down. This thing has amazing potential, thanks for helping bring it out!
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] FNPonderous:
Has anyone else gotten the notification for a system update? I'm assuming it may break root and put the screen shot button back so I haven't downloaded it yet.

Out of curiosity, you don't feel cramped for app space with just the 8G of memory so don't feel its useful? I've been debating getting one of these just for the handyness of the microSD card and HDMI out but I've already got a Nexus 7 as you can see from my signature.

Just would like to state that this tablet is pretty awesome, as far as I know. I've been messing with my gadgets since back when I had a Razr flip phone and since then its just been getting better and better. I've never actually had a tablet of my own, but I bought this one pretty much blindly yesterday. Seen it in the store, did a quick bit of googleing on it and decided: meh, what the hell its only 150 bucks. I really could not of been happier, even more so when I found out about the rooting and such that was available. Awesome job for this thing. my only qualm(and this is rather stupid) is that you have to run it in landscape mode with the TabletUI. I will get used to it for whatever reason, makes it that much better. Nothing about this tablet makes me think twice about taking it back!
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] tjupille:
FWIW, I also have a Nexus 7 (16 GB; ParanoidAndroid) and I end up using the Sero 7 (with 32 GB SD card) more often (the Nexus tends to stay at the office).

That said, Staples has the 32GB N7 on sale for $199 at the moment and an additional $30 discount code good through tomorrow:

http://www.staples.com/Nexus-7-32GB-Tablet-from-Google/product_100604

That has the smell of a "dumping inventory in anticipation of the new model" to it, but $169 works out to about the same $ as a Sero 7 plus a 32GB card; if I were shopping for a tablet today, I'd go with the N7.

[MENTION=557282]xboxexpert[/MENTION]...plus any others interested... I bought the Sero 7 Pro this week and am very pleased with it. xbox you've done brilliantly with your rooting scripts and your XE Rom both of which I have installed on my tab. The appropriate "thanks" have been added. I thought it might interest you that having had an android tab (Acer A500) for just over 2 yrs I got quite involved in making boot animations (made about 30 for the Acer) and so I thought I might try porting over some of them from the A500 to the Sero 7 Pro. Not certain how much interest there is so I have just done the attached one for now, if there is any interest I'll consider porting over others. I've attached a GIF Preview so that you can see what you are getting (have been a bit lazy, I didn't make a new one just used my original A500 one... the only difference is that the colours in the Sero one are Blue and White).

Small point here::: As xbox has used Apex Launcher settings to make "Screen Orientation" show as "Landscape", I have done same with animation.

Don't wish to teach anyone how to suck eggs but for those not used to playing with animations bear in mind the following points...

1) Keep the name the same has to be... bootanimation.zip

2) Although it's a zip DON'T flash it... just copy it using a file manager.

3) Copy it to the folder... /system/media...

4) If you want to keep the original, then first of all re-name it some else (i.e. OLDbootanimation.zip) otherwise it will be overwritten.

Haven't seen any update for the S7 Pro. I wonder why you got it before everyone else. Are you rooted?
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] nightshack0:
Only reason I could think of is a different build.prop on the modified ROM but I'm almost completely positive there isn't any difference .

Is he the ONLY one who has received it or is there anyone here who has too?

It is a different build, the current is P756.6.01.01.00 and the one he is receiving is 6.02.11

I guess there's a way to download it without installing it. Maybe FNPonderous could share the download or we can just wait and see if anyone else receives it soon after
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] FNPonderous:
Yes, rooted and running xbox's tweaked ROM. That is why I'm hesitant to upgrade.

[MENTION=330282]renegaderon[/MENTION]... many thanks, glad it worked ok for you. I'll look at my collection and see if there are any small ones I can port over. Trouble is my A500 ones tended to be HD frames that I ripped from BD disks and so were pretty big.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Kaepernick:
That's weird. I'd wait on it and see if any of the stock users get the update.

He's on Xbox's rom and he's the only one who has gotten it so far. Mustn't be a coincidence. I'm wondering what the update is.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] nightshack0:
Yeah I just read that he is on the modified ROM so its weird.

I'm guessing its 4.2.2, the size is almost the same as the nexus 7 4.2.2 ota update.

[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] FNPonderous:
I am curious as well but the tablet is mainly for my 4 year old and I don't want mess up what I have going now. He uses it everyday, (I rarely touch it, except for updating apps) and we have not had any problems with all the games he plays. Plus I only know the basic know-how of rooting and ROMing (read as following directions in a forum) so I don't know how far I would be able to help out. Hopefully this will push out to some others soon so we can see what it is.

I should mention that until I receive a reply from xboxexpert I am holding back on posting further anims - as I said to him "... I didn't want to appear as if I was hi-jacking his thread which should be devoted to his XE Rom"

[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] metpolds:
[MENTION=4313196]MISRy[/MENTION]... Have found an "Apple" for you. I'm only "so-so" about it, it looks fine on the GIF but the animation is a little "squashed". This is probably because I found it in an HTC Inspire forum and the porting was just a little tricky. Any credit should go to "homeslice976" who made it on the HTC forum. If I spent time on it I could probably do better on the conversion. For the information of anyone who reads this post, the OP (xboxexpert) has ok'd me to put the anims on this thread if they would be of interest.
[MENTION=4313196]MISRy[/MENTION] please note that from now on I am going to name the anims according to their subject (so no one gets confused) - so remember to change the name to bootanimation.zip when putting it in ... /system/media ...

Dude do it....Then let me get on a team viewer before you reboot the device....if the device reboots automatically and it goes through it should be a full rom upgrade...then we can see whats going on and get a system dump I doubt they would lock the bootloader on a software update.

How many are seeing this update? I'm rooted and on your ROM, and nothing is showing up, nothing showed up before I installed your ROM either.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] mingolianbeef:
Hey man, bought this device a couple days ago after doing a story on it (I'm a writer for AndroidSPIN.com), and I love it, plus, your ROM made it sooooo much better dude.

Expect to see another story with your name in it :) , I'll come back and link it to you guys to see. But when I bought it, I went into developer mode. I actually got CM 10.1 to boot, but WiFi, NFC and GPS were all borked so I trashed the builds, gonna have another go at it later. If you take a look at the updater scripts (in an official cyanogenmod build of The nexus 7 aka, "grouper" on the site) and compare it to the partition table of the S7P in your first post, the mount points are the same!!!

My theory is that Google sold off a bunch of old 8GB N7 models to a company and this is what came out of the transaction, too many similarities between the devices. Any who, I'm sure with a few kernel tweaks and the proper distribution of system files between ports (libs, permissions, etc.) Porting Roms will be a pie job. I even went so far as to flash the grouper cm build, and it didn't boot, pbut it didn't brick it either, indicative of the fact that the mount points are equal.

Now, the one thing that needs to be tweaked is the ability to control the cores in the tablet, I can't do it no matter what app I use. Other than that, perfect ROM and good job :).

If you wanna talk, hit me up via email or Google+ hangouts (ognimnella@gmail.com.com) and we can maybe brainstorm on how to get things going. Again, great work man, really good stuff.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] trvbone:
This is fantastic news thank you thank you !
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] mingolianbeef:
Some New Information

I can now confirm that the partitions are... for the most part... the same on the tablets. If you look in my picture:

You will see that the core partitions that are flashed to (system, data, boot) are exactly the same. However, our device (Sero 7 Pro) also has three other partitions: the "modem" partition (phones, texts, data capability???), "metadata" (dont know what the hell that's for) and "external_sd" (self explanitory). The only other difference is that the Nexus 7 3G model contains a "radio" partition, which I know for a fact controls the call/data/text capability. So, this confirms my initial thought that theoretically, any rom on the nexus 7 can be run on he Sero 7 pro.

There are some issues though. As previously stated, my initial attempt to port CM 10.1 went kind of well, but wifi, gps and bluetooth were all no-go's function wise. Also, it did not read my SD Card. I even removed the "nosdcard" listing in the build prop, still a fail. So, in order to dirty port these roms (don't see too much need for a real port, might try one for the heck of it but that's the extent of that), we need to make it so that our communications features and SD Card slot are all recognized in the ports, which sounds fairly easy.

These are just some observations, feel free to comment and chime in guys. Also, I'm going to get into vlogging (video blogging, youtube), and my first series is going to be talking about this, so we can talk there too, but more on that later. Hope this helps some people. :)

[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] mingolianbeef:
Assistance Please...

Okay so I said to hell with it and decided to do the source build. I'm downloading the CM 10.1 source as we speak. However, I am new to this (first source code build), and Im reading and studying the tutorial, aaannnddd.... we dont have any repos or anything on github. I did create the repositories for the kernel and the device in this link:

https://github.com/ognimnella

but, like I said, this is my first time attempting this, so I don't know what I need to add to these folders to get it to work and things like that. I figured it would have been easier to port roms w/ a CM10.1 base than it would have been with a stock AOSP base. Any assistance is welcome, and I thank you in advance for it. :)
