First, thank you for all the great work you do for our little tab. Much appreciated.

Now, I have been trying to get my rooted stock Sero to mount ext4 cards with no luck... could you share the mount scripts you use in your ROM? Will they work on stock?
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] slicingtaco:
So far it doesn't really work. What cable are you using?
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Unjustified Dev:
Try a usb y cable , otg it is in this kernel . It may not output power you may have to power your device externally

# USB On The Go - Host Mode

chown system system /sys/devices/platform/tegra-otg/enable_host

thats actually from the stock kernel. im making a custom one now that allows usb otg to work as sdcards do so you can mount and unmount natively
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] slicingtaco:
I am in the process of the doing the same but OTG Native.

Let me know what happens. I am trying to edit the framework-res.apk but I can't get the device to boot up (boot loops).

Edit: What exactly are you doing in order for it work (mount)?
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Unjustified Dev:
you need to modify storage list.xml in the framework and init.m470.rc idk what else since I dont have this device

# create directory for mounting usb drives

mkdir /storage/usbdisk 0666 system system

symlink /storage/usbdisk /mnt/usbdisk

symlink /mnt/usbdisk /usbdisk

That's exactly what I did but I can't get it to boot up with my modified apk I have been trying for the past few days with no luck. If you can you rip out the framework apk from XE V2 and modify your self and I am more than happy to try it out myself.

BTW I am following what this guy did on the Nexus 7 I am just stuck on that stupid apk file. I can also post a ADB log file of the boot loop.

you dont sign system apk if you did thats probably why it didnt work. Im a developer lol I know a bit of things :p .

It's a no go. Upon flashing the boot.img it gets stuck on Hisense logo (not animation) screen and then when replacing the framework apk (without your modified boot.img) with the correct permission and gets stuck in the boot loop.:crying:

Got a response from Hisense on Kernel Source

Hey guys, after badgering them and threatening to send my device back, I got a response from Hisense USA on the kernel source situation via facebook, here's what they said.

While that word "Possibilty" still raises some red flags, It is indicative of the fact that they are, at the very least, willing to consider proper GPL compliance, a big step for a chinese manufacturer in my opinion. I also inquired about a manufacturer's edition of Andy 4.3 (unlikely, but still worth asking about lol). Now I'm not expecting them to release anytime soon per se, but I'll stay in their asses if I feel like it's being prolongued.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] slicingtaco:
It sounds like they wan't to do something about it, i would join in on FB but i don't have one i just don't see the point of it. If only we can just get our hands on the source there probably won't be enough time in the world to do all sorts of things with this. Keep it up, good job. But mean while we got to work with what we got...
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] mingolianbeef:
Android 4.3 For Us *Rejoice*

I just wrote up the story, but I figured I'd let you all in on the news a little bit early ;). We will be getting Android 4.3, straight from Hisense, this fall :)

So I guess we will be seeing some XE-Sero Updates in the future lol, I'm ready for that, and CM10.1/2. etc.

Also, let me go ahead and address this while I have the time to. I'm going to be in college starting Aug. 16th (SO EXCITED lol), and the laptop I'm using (Macbook Pro 13" 2012, intel i5 dual core, 4GB Ram, 500GB HDD) is my work laptop that has to function for the next 4 years, maybe even longer since I'm gonna go ahead and do a masters and a Ph.D program along the way. I was talking to a friend, and he said that when he tried to do a source build on it, there would be times where is Macbook would not boot into the OS because it was kind of being overworked. So Im gonna have to live by the "Dont play where you work" motto because I would die if I wrote a term paper and my laptop screwed up and deleted it, like... seriously.

So, just until I can get me a cheap little windows desktop machine to dual boot ubuntu on, I'm gonna have to be sort of AWOL on the developmental side of things, only because graduating is important to me and I don't wanna run the risk.

Therefore, in light of this, I'll be the media guy :D, if you need a story written up (mod, rom, new kernel, etc.), then I'm the guy for it! Just email me and I'll get it up when the time is available for me to!

Great job to all that are working to make this tablet freaking awesome!

[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] morfic:
They at least start to reply, which is better than silence.

"Daniel I don’t’ have any information on your kernel request. However I was just informed that the Sero 7 PRO will be updated to 4.3 “This Fall”."

So a lot of people were told about the 4.3 update "This Fall." :) so I'll be keeping the Sero 7 Pro i guess, even if my hands are tied without complete kernel source.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Unjustified Dev:
Forget 4.3 lol I want source :)
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] morfic:
The fun part about android licensing is that i can point at the GPL and hope they give a damn, you are much less likely to see what's not in AOSP as a lot of what you require is binaries they will claim proprietary rights on.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Unjustified Dev:
We need to go beg them everyday I hate them now I've worked so hard creating a device tree for this tablet but things wont work correctly since I dont know what I need and dont need . I think they should release device source as well. If they want to get more money they would who in their right mind wouldnt want xda working on their device. Isn't that why we joined.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Tool Belt:

[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] morfic:
I agree, the no replies to inquires with a likely forever and ever 4.2.1 android was not very appealing.

But if there is at least 2 ways they have responded to some degree, i'll wait it out

It's not horrible right now, but at the same time, i know what the chip is like at higher frequencies (the ram and storage performance compares poorly to a nexus 7 though)
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] morfic:
I read your initial comment as you suggesting Hisense should care that XDA (us) works on *their* device, to which i replied "they probably don't know nor care about XDA", to which you replied "xda developers like me"

So, what did you mean to say with your initial comment there, since i clearly misunderstood you.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Unjustified Dev:
Well you just confused me . I guess your xda who was a joke if so lol . Im still going to leave them so words to think about I wish I could tell google on them lol . Using their software and not sharing the source.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] morfic:
the "XDA Who?" means they don't care who or what XDA is, so the "don't they want XDA to work on their device" likely does not enter the equation when making decisions on what to do with/for their device.

[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] mingolianbeef:
Here's the way I see it guys, that GPL BS was just to make it look professional. You don't get under a company's skin until u threaten their earnings. My name has shown up in their mailbox 3 times, one of those clearly iterated that I was a news writer for a site with a pretty significant following. Im sure that once I threatened to return it in exchange for a more expensive, less feature rich device, it got their attention. Not to mention the fact that I can easily write up a story and bash their lack of developer support, which is one of the lifelines of the Android platform.

I'm sure that source will show up in the near future, and the whole spill about 4.3 support is cute, but vanilla android is not what we look for per se'. We want CM, we want AOSPA, AOKP, MIUI, CamOS, and so on and so forth. Those Roms bring out the true ability of our device, prolonging their usability. To this day, my brother rocks the nook tablet I gave him, and the devs are already talking CM10.2 for it, case in point.

Other than that, I'm most looking forward to kernel optimizations, which will enhance performance, prolongue battery life and things of that nature. I promise you guys I will beat the horse until it is dead, I'll contact them in a couple of weeks to check in if I don't get word.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] morfic:
Media is powerful.

How they look to the public is what matters to them.

Like the first reply i ever got from them after adding pr@hisense-usa.com to my inquiries, it could be coincidence, could be that the term "only no news is bad news" might not really be true if you are in the process of hiring in the US and want to expand your market.

So yeah, your "just wait until you see what i write about your behaviour" is likely the most fruitful.

Not sure i would call all else "GPL BS", since again, you can always let them know what their violating of a license can do to their reputation publicly, how it could affect their bottom line.

Heat Sink

SINNEDONE: For some reason the system would not let me reply to your message.

Anyway, I think this heat sink would work. I'm not sure how close the battery is to the inside of the case, but the battery is .75 mm higher than the tegra processor, and the inside of the case is indented where the processor is located. The only problem I see with this heat sink is that it is essentially the same size as the processor, and I'm not sure how much heat loss that would provide. There is room for a 25 x 25 mm heat sink in the indented area of the case.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] mingolianbeef:
Let me rephrase. GPL isn't BS so to speak, but like if it was taken seriously, more companies would be like Sony, or at least somewhat like them. The power lies in the dollar sign and news reporting in this case

How to manually install stock recovery.

1) Download this https://www.dropbox.com/s/3b4otl5437uscew/Recovery.zip

2) Extract to desktop or easily accessible location

3) Do not open. Simply right mouse click and select open command.

4)Power device into fastboot. without cable attached pressing power and up volume buttons until screen says "fastboot" . Attach cable to computer and device.

5) Make sure device drivers load. If not, there are drivers located in the folder downloaded.

6) After drivers are loaded go back to command Window you opened earlier.

7) using this command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" hit enter

8)Once that completes, type this fastboot reboot.

9)DONE.

I apologize for my lack of involvement in this thread which seems to be the reason I'm confused by the recent developments. I've been so stressed with life events I haven't been able to keep up...

I'm on the 5-29 deodexed ROM still and don't know what process I should follow and which files I should flash to be up to date with the most recent ROM.

I know post three breaks it down, but my brain is fried and I need someone to hold my hand.

Do I need to unroot to flash v2.1? Can I just flash one of the zips from post three over my existing setup?

Heat sink

Which are optimal materials to use as a heat sink?
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] paratwa53:
Silver or copper are best. Silver has one of the highest transfer rates, that's why silver is used as a base for most thermal pastes between a CPU and the copper heatsink.Since Silver is prohibitively costly. Copper is usually the most common metal used for heat transfer, and since it is second only to silver for heat transfer rates, that's ok.

[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] DreadApex:
I am a web designer by trade.

Not much would be needed for a dedicated fan site.

Beyond the coding (which can be as easy as using a turn-key or as complicated as a totally custom interface), the main thing would be the cost.

For proper hosting and bandwidth for a (smaller) community, the cost would be about $50-$100 a year for decent hosting and domain registration.

This cost would go up depending on the popularity of the site. this is also assuming that no ads would be used on the site.

I would be happy to donate some coding time if there is interest in a sero 7-centric fan site.

Especially if there are any generous donors willing to throw a few bucks towards the upkeep.
