So you ran the Root, but did you run one of the other roms after you rooted? After running just the root, then you need to run one of the other options from that page, Then you can install the custom rom that is listed in post 3. Just running the root leaves you with a rooted device, but otherwise it's still stock.

Did you modify the framework-res.apk in XE_SeroROM version 1?
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] sciphonic:
Well guys, I'm out. I had posted a few pages back that I was contacting kernel devs and contacting Hisense for a kernel source. I actually got positive responses from one well known dev and I think I've seen him posting here, but didn't hear back from Hisense through email, phone, and facebook after repeated attempts.

So I think, "whatever, it's fast enough. I've got root and a nice de-bloated ROM" and proceed to use Splashtop to play some PC games laying in bed. After 2 hours, not even connected to the charger, I notice the device is pretty warm in the camera area. Not even hot, just warm. After I closed out of Splashtop I tried browsing and noticed that 1/4 of the screen was going wacky and detecting a long press no matter what. Thought I would let it cool down but no luck. Permanently defective screen I guess from the heat.

Walmart actually didn't want to take it back because the snarky lady at the counter couldn't locate a serial number on the device. I made them open a new one to see that there was no visible SN on that one either. I was considering just buying a replacement but the customer service drove me nuts and I ran out of there to Staples and got a 2013 Nexus 7. Good luck with the S7 guys. If I were you I wouldn't start freaking out about your device doing the same thing but I would get it nice and toasty to see if it fails while you're still within warranty so you don't get stuck with a defective unit down the road.

Other than mine failing I thought it was great. Still one of the best price/performance ratio tablets out there and the screen was just fantastic. I just don't have another Walmart around here so I wouldn't want to go back to that one if I recreated the issue on a replacement S7.

Sorry to hear that happened to you. I used Kainey to play Diablo 3 on my tablet. I didn't experience any issues, but I only played for 45 min. Its also to bad you had a bad experience at Walmart. They are sticklers on their electronic devices. I bought an SD card there that caused my wife's tablet to wig out. I tried to take them both back & they wouldn't because I didn't buy their extended warranty. I was fortunate that replacing the SD card fixed it. I hope you have better luck with your next tablet.

Now to another issue, WiFi on this tab is slow compared to my HTC One, Nexus 7 and MS Surface Pro. I have a Netgear N6300 AC Router, and my devices connect like this-

1.HTC One-433 Mbps (AC)

2.Nexus 7 (2013)- 150 Mbps (N)

3.Sero 7 Pro- 65 Mbps (N)

I am on a 50/10 Blast! Connection with Comcast, and both my HTC One and Nexus 7 download from the web at 55/11, as does my wired desktop and two other wireless N Desktops, but the Sero 7 Pro maxes out at 32 down, and is often in the 20-25 range. Is there any way to bump up the speed on it? I looked at the build.prop, but I didn't see anything related to WiFi speeds. What kind of WiFi chip is in this thing?

battery animation

The mini green with animation battery app works great. Thanks for your work.

Regarding those few of us who have had some tablet failures; I think these are quality control issues that, unfortunately, are the bane of today's large scale production methods. They are going to happen, and usually right after the 15 days Walmart gives us for return. Also, Walmart, like other large stores that sell things they probably shouldn't without appropriately trained staff (bicycles, small electronics-phones, tablets, etc.), we really take our chances buying there, even if its generally a good product like the Hisense Pro. I had wondered about the occasional heat as well, and find it interesting that this is a heat sink issue-a sure sign of cutting corners to undercut the market. I order from Amazon for many items, and take the chances required to get a great buy, but there is little recourse these days if things go wrong.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] xboxexpert:
Because its not CM10 I could have included Root Explorer but I paid for it and that would be a no, no. Go buy it, its awesome. I'll see if I can find a file manager decent enough to mount system as R/W and include it along with Link2SD or what ever program you guys have been using to invert storage.

I was looking into thermal pad's and they sell different thickness. Actually in our warehouse at work we have a whole bunch of thermal pads I'm going to grab one and what that will do is help me reach the back of the case and form a solid bond to the plastic shell. What I'm thinking of doing then is grabbing some thermal adhesive. They used thermal adhesive on the Nexus 7. If I apply some thermal adhesive to the plastic shell and create a good surface area the thermal pad would bond to the adhesive and allow a much better transfer of heat.

Thanks. No, I know that the material has not been decided upon, but I was mostly concerned about ruining the fit of the back, if I were to open it wrongly.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] xboxexpert:
Your not going to break it. Just go for it. Start at the bottom and once you get a corner up pry with your fingernail the opposite side. Last to pull off would be the top the side with the hdmi port and memory card slot.

When putting it back together the first to get snapped back in is the side with the memory card slot and hdmi.

I use the latest stable apk.

Audio stuttering a lot of the time can be related to vsync..

You can also try enabling/disabling hardware acceleration... but i haven't had to alter anything.

I downloaded it, installed, hooked up my existing database from my main media server using advancedsettings.xml (not needed generally), and was flying perfectly and instantly synced.

Yes of course, your reasoning makes sense. If you're willing to give it a whirl, I've used ES File Explorer forever.

Does the XE-Sero7 rom support ext4? If not ext3?

I want to use the Link2SD app and would like to use ext4 for best performance.

I was under the impression that GL to SD was for Gameloft games. Never tried foldermount, but link2sd seem to work in a limited fashion.

I have used GL to SD to move games that where not Gameloft. Although you are correct that it is selective about what it chooses to list. FolderMount lets you move anything you want in /storage/andoid. I used it...but didn't like it. I use Link2SD along with GL to SD. Now the thing I found is that most storage reporting apps will show that my internal storage is full. I'm not sure if that's because of symlinks. But when I use the storage report in settings, it clearly shows that I have 4+ GB free & I have alot of apps installed.

If there is no heat sink on the processor then we need figure out an aternative. You can not use plastic as a heat sink cause it does not conduct heat. You have to use something metalic, something light, aluminum is the cheapest. So xbox how much room is between the processor and the case?
