I do not know what is wrong with your sero 7 pro or sample of it, but mine does not lag at all! home screen transitions smooth as butter, app menu loads instantly, apps load quickly, since the stock rom is almost stock android disable some of the apps not needed and no issues at all, my sero 7 pro loads websites faster than my desktop does and its the full web version. 1080p videos play smoothly, youtube plays smooth and all of it works with the HDMI out. My sero 7 pro is smoother than my touchwiz galaxy s3 from verizon... I use to have a Nexus 7 and that thing lagged in everything! I also get about 14 days stand by time with minimal usage! This thing loves to deep sleep with the wifi disabled. no wake locks or anything while asleep!

I have noticed some times, dont know if its due to apps controlling the hardware or just a bug, the tegra 3 in the sero 7 pro likes to get stuck in one of the stages where the cpu gets set max at a clock of 760mhz or so for all cores, and it will not go past that speed no matter what you do, so some times needs a reboot and your back up to max 1300mhz clock speeds. I have the power management enabled so that could be the problem!

It would be awesome though if we could get the source to everything to build a better kernel! If not use the tablet as much as u can until it dies or sell it and get a Nexus 7.2

I've noticed some lag when opening up certain programs, or going between programs and widgets in Apex, but other than that it does well. When in programs, I don't see any lag at all, so I'm sure it can be fixed with a few tweaks here and there.

Well, I finally got a prompt to download the system update tonight, I will download it and save it, though I'm sure it would fail if I tried to apply it. I'm rooted and running the stripped ROM with CWM.

Off Topic: Running XE-SeroROM and loving it.

Do any of you have the game, Rebuild ( http://goo.gl/LHWde )? It won't run for me. Want to know if anyone else has the same problem. I actually got it as an Amazon free app of the day.

So it'll just fail? I got it too and stopped by to ask if it would break my root. I'm too attached to this thing to bork it, it literally wakes me up in the morning and I read it to sleep at night.

If that's the zombie game, I've been playing it for weeks, no issues. Fun game, but I keep getting slaughtered on the tougher difficulty levels.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] kngdmond:
I am running option 3 (stripped) + TableUI + Green Circle, and I had some issues running some programs on 2 different tablets. On my tablet Photoshop Touch would launch and then crash to the home screen and it would never run beyond its logo. On my wife's tablet her Sim's Freeplay would load to the logo and then crash to the home screen immediately after the app looked for an update. Here are some things you might want to check.

Check your /system/fonts folder and see if DroidSans.ttf and DroidSans-Bold.ttf exist. If they don't you should download that font and place them in the /system/fonts folder and reboot. Seems some of the bigger name games / apps require that font and will crash if they are missing. This solved my Photoshop Touch crash issue.

The Sims Freeplay was a little tougher to figure out. The font was one of 2 issues, so I put the fonts in the proper place but the game still crashed. I installed the Catlog App and looked at the log it generated. Turned out that TableUI was crashing with the error "unable to connect to service - connection fail" after launching the game. I rebooted the tablet into recovery and re-flashed TableUI and the Green Circle mod and that fixed things. My guess it was a corrupt install of the Table UI.

After I did those 2 things, I have not had any more app crashes.

---------- Post added at 12:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:14 PM ----------

I had nothing better to do so I installed the free version of the game just to see if it would crash. It did not...runs fine, although I have no idea what to do in this game.

So check the fonts & TableUI. I bet your missing the fonts.

Confirmed the update fails on my device, see my sig. I did notice that after the reboot flipping between screens seemed "snappier". I assume that's just because this was the first reboot in a couple of weeks.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] morfic:
Updates typically patch the system, if the system has been modified, like say a changed su binary. It fails the check.

And yes, a fresh boot feels awesome on any device. :)

I was experiencing some nasty lag until I uninstalled the Tegra Overclock app. Once it was removed, my S7 has been running very smoothly. My old Nexus 7 was a bit snappier, but it also had a kernel that allowed me to run it at 1.7Ghz.

Am I missing something here? I thought Android was open source, and as such, release of source was mandatory.

If Hisense is not releasing their source, they are in violation of open source licensing.

[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Tuffshift:
Hey all...Just bought this and followed xbox's setup on the 2nd post for the "Root/Touch Recovery for Stock ROM:" It rooted perfectly..but it will NOT boot into CWM. Under recovery, it just goes to what I assume is the factory recovery and shows a android figure on his back and states "no command." Ive tried redoing it several times...any help?
[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.

I ran into a similar situation. I ran XESeroRoot.exe but something went wrong...not sure what. I was rooted but when I booted into recovery, it was a robot laying on its back, there was no touch screen, only like 3 or 4 options and there was Chinese text on the screen.

I doubled checked my PC and tablet connection. I tried running XERecovery.exe but it wouldn't complete. So before complete panic set in, I copied the ROM that I wanted to use onto the SD card. I re-ran XESeroRoot.exe, followed the prompts. Rebooted then went back into recovery. It was working properly the second time. Then I flashed the ROM from the SD card.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Tuffshift:
This is exactly what happened, less the Chinese Text. I went ahead and deleted everything from my PC, including the .android Folder, and started 'fresh' with my Sero 7 Pro that is already rooted, but wont boot CWM. Again just had a robot laying down and states "no command."

Well Im re-running the XESeroRoot.EXE and now its "Stuck" on the cmd line: pkg: /data/local/tmp/superuser.apk (It hasnt event done its 1st reboot.)

Halp.

***EDIT - Okay..Found out why it was hanging. Somehow "Verify apps over USB got turned on" and now XESeroRoot.EXE runs all the way through. Still its loading recovery onto the robot on his back with like 5 options.

Here is what XEseroroot.EXE states:

Unfortunately I'm no android expert so I don't know the "correct" solution to your issue. I am running Win 7 x64 and I had a heck of a time trying to get adb.exe to behave. I had to manually create an adb_usb.ini file with this single entry: 0x109b

After I created that file adb worked properly.

Did you try to follow xboxexpert's instructions that he posted on the first page?

"Holy **** my tablet is bricked! WTF, Xboxexpert you broke my ****!:

First off, no I did not. It is definitely not bricked you can not brick this tablet thanks to my scripts.

Step 1: Remove all USB Cables and Hold Volume up and Power from a off state, you will see FASTBOOT on the tablet screen. Let go of power once you see FASTBOOT!

Step 2: Provided you have a USB cable and a PC you can plug it in now and run the recovery.exe from within the folder where my root script is located.

Step 3: By the time you read this if you followed the instructions XERecovery.exe told you to do you should have access to CWM Recovery go install a ROM."

If your tablet boots up correctly. I would try to recover back to stock and try the process again.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Tuffshift:
I just tried it to the "tee" ADB says "All Done! You should be in CWM Touch Recovery!

Im looking at the robot lying on his back again with the red triangle and "No Command." below him.....:(

UPDATE - I followed on Post#1 these commands

adb push ./cwm_touch_recovery.img /sdcard/
adb shell su -c "dd if=/sdcard/cwm_touch_recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5"
adb reboot recovery

While running adb and it loaded into CWM....see if I can get a rom to work now.

first let me just thank xboxexpert for his work on the sero 7 pro. Nice script very easy to root and install your rom, great job, thank you!

Now let me also say for anyone wondering how this device stacks up to the nexus 7. I have both, the sero pro and the n7 and I think the sero pro is a better tablet because of the sd card slot l, hdmi, and to some extent the rear camera. My n7 may infact feel a little smoother but I do not think that will be the case if and when more devs get behind this device. Its a great tablet fot 149$ and any actual performance differences between the n7 and sero pro are so minor most people will not notice unless they have both devices side by side.

Now for a question. My sero is rooted and running the stripped down rom that xboxexpert hooked us up with. Can some one plesse tell my what I have to do next to get rid if the screenshot button?

Does anyone have adb working when the rom is booted?

I have my android-rules setup and fastboot works, adb works in recovery, no adb though in the rom.

USB Debugging is on, and i have the reported product and vendor IDs setup that dmesg reports when the device is plugged in.

Not sure what i could have missed as setting up fastboot and recovery adb worked as usual.

EDIT: Fixed, also had to tell adb about the ID, not just udev.

that's better :)
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] morfic:
One thing noone mentioned, Sero 7 Pro has haptic feedback, N7 just lays there like a brick, that actually makes a difference for me, the HDMI Out, SDCard slot, rear cam aside.

I agree with everyone else who already said it, Sero 7 Pro is worth it over the old N7 and since the new one offers nothing i need also over the new N7 for me.

[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] YaKillaCJ:
It is well known that the shell has flexing area. The right side of the screen is another.

Also the sdcard hatch doesn't fit flush once an sdcard is in.

The top is the screen is the two points of light you can see if you tilt it back, think it's on purpose, beside the screen doesn't bleed and have a wide viewing area.

Probably best if you remove the sticker on the back and put it on the box.

At times I guess when hot and charging for awhile, the touch screen can go crazy. Just unplug it from the charge and let it relax a bit. Happened first time when I opened it and plugged charger in. Rooting stopped it that night. Since then, only happened twice.

Oh and ask connections are in one place directly on the board. So repairs may be costly/tricky.

All in all tho, this is the best $150 I ever spent on an electronic.

Is there any chance of App2SD being re-enabled in your ROM?

I have a phone running JB 4.1.2 and it can move apps to SD.

Seems to be a real shame if we can't use any of that lovely SD space to put apps on, especially multi-gig games.
