xboxexpert - can you post the 100% stock, odexed roms, but with an update-script that does not wipe everything? I'm coming from HTC phones with internal SD or EMMC storage that is seperate from the /system and /data partitions, where you can do a factory reset/data wipe but wouldn't lose your pictures and stuff that were on the internal SD. But man this Sero 7 wipes EVERYTHING on the internal storage... would really like an odexed stock rom that doesn't wipe data if possible.

I agree, i can honestly say that this experience I have had with this mac over the last two months is better than any experience I have ever had with any windows machine (been using PCs since I was 4, Win95 on an eggshell white gateway lol). I have always used windows, and this is going to sound weird... but it runs windows... better than a PC lol. I mean there are some hoops you have to jump through, but the way the hardware is utilized by Win7 is impeccable. It's what a windows machine should be, plus gaming is unlike any other. that 4GB of ram and dual core intel i5 make it a hell of an experience.

I have been contemplating replacing OSX with Windows 7, both of them have features I use, and the HDD isn't strong enough to run them dual boot without significant performance shots at OSX, it just requires more, and doesn't like to share (just like it's manufacturer, irony). #firstworldproblems lol

lol they do, but I agree. I think I said this, but if I were to do the same setup that im going to add through apple, the laptop would have cost me $2500 easy, they think their name is in the bible or something (sadly, I think it is)

and thanks man :)

It's still $149 at our local Walmart in Ukiah, CA (120 miles northwest of SF in rural Northwestern California ) . I did a search of Walmarts within a 150 mile radius, and some showed $149 while others showed $129, so apparently it varies from store to store.

I couldn't find the app you were using to hide the print screen button.

I discovered a nav bar app that will hide the original and let you replace it with an auto hide nav bar that you can customize,

"Ultimate Dynamic Navbar"

This app only works on rooted devices (for those S7 readers still not rooted)

The app can be found in the xda forums her, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2270198

[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] kngdmond:
Did you try that Ultimate Dynamic Navbar? I installed it just to check it out. It didn't work on my tablet. It didn't hide the original navbar, added a hidden navbar behind the original navbar. Then when I selected "hide system navbar" then rebooted, the tablet failed to reboot. Thank god I had a CWM backup & didn't have to try to restore the build.prop by other methods.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] thex:
Yes I did. And it did work.

When I checked the flag to hide the old navbar, it rebooted and showed no navbar. I clicked on the notification window for UND and told it to always show the UND bar.

The only issue I have is that it doesn't squeeze the screen contents to fit. In other words, the desktop is full screen, UND is overlayed on top, thus cutting off the bottom part of the desktop contents, including the keyboard.

So I uninstalled it.

Back to looking for a way to remove the print screen button.....
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] kngdmond:
Interesting. It kinda worked for me until told it to change the build.prop. Might be because I'm running the stripped version...shrugs. Have you tried the app called Fullscreen? It hides everything, shows everything fullscreen & it puts a small transparent trigger in a corner you choose.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] thex:
I went back to GMD Hide Soft keys. I have hidden the navigation bar but it is easier to open it back up.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] mingolianbeef:
Decided to really put the power save feature to the test and it return awesome results. I made use of the tablet comparable to what you would do in that mode. Had the WiFi on, used Kik messenger and streamed music from Google play music, read books on play books and did a little internet browsing. At night when I went to sleep, I turned on airplane mode. The results were crazy!

Almost 2 days on one charge. And I barely noticed a studder in performance. Great tablet indeed. Also, the price is officially $129, they just haven't updated it reflect it in some areas yet, it just happened this morning
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] sinnedone:
At 129 I will probably be purchasing a third. :D

I mean at this price point and size the only thing that beats it is the 2013 N7 with higher res screen and more on board storage.

Am I right about this? I looked at other tablets in the 300 dollar and less range and this particular tablets still has em beat.

To bad its a walmart exclusive only. (same price at Best buy would have made a killing)
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Oscar_david:
I was just at my local Walmart (California) and it also has this pricing. I'm thinking of getting a second one. BUT .....I got to thinking, is this pricing indicative of a sero 7 v 2 coming sooner rather than later?
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] paratwa53:
That's what I was thinking! Just like when Nexus dropped their prices just before the new one came out.

Hmm... I got the extended service plan from walmart, think it might be getting dropped by accident soon.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] silverD1980:
This is a great little tablet and thanks to xboxexpert for all the work. I also picked up a nook hd+, the screen is great, but I still like the small form factor of this tablet.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] someguyatx:
Hopefully the price drop means we will see this tablet in more hands soon so we can get our own section here. Also wonderful news about the the possibility of source.

Done with nvidia shield source are you sure you guys want to wait. I can use their source as a template to finish :silly: who knows when hisense will come through.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] californiarailroader:
It's down to $129 at our Walmart in Ukiah, CA (120 miles northwest of SF in rural Mendocino County). as well.

[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] htcfan85:
There's something that happened that's wonderful on my S7. For right now, I have it plugged into the wall charger but everything is responding smoothly. I checked paint and that's smooth too.

What happened was that when I unplugged it a little while ago, the screen was acting as if it was still plugged in. Once I DiD plug it back in, it stopped. And now I have a fully usable S7 while it's charging with a wall adapter. I am not hopeful that this will continue like this after I reboot it though. It was nice being able to play a game on it and not have to worry about it dying because it's constantly charging!
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] xboxexpert:
If your running my rom you are on a interactive governor with noop scheduler @ min 102mhz and max 1300. I tested the other governors built in and they produce lag.

Try running SetCPU from market and changing the governor to performance and try and play around with it. I would also set the min to 340 as that's the default for all my devices. It provides a little more speed when coming out of sleep mode. In this mode I would check all aspects towards what makes this tablet fail. I would check the lcd performance and games. Right now the device will be running on all 4 cores at max cpu_clock. I wouldnt leave it like this because it will run pretty hot after a while but you can get an idea of how the device can perform if a proper kernel developer were to come here and build a kernel for us. Even just a ROW scheduler would rock the **** out of this tablet. There is really not much more I can do for this little device with out a proper kernel or a port to 4.2.2
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] htcfan85:
I'm not sure if you understood what I wrote or if I'm not understanding what you wrote. Normally, when I plug in the S7 into a wall adapter, I pretty much can't use it unless I just want to watch something on it. Forget about playing games, typng on it, or anything else really. I used paint to verify this, which you can see a video of it: http://youtu.be/k-pFhN7gc_s. I try it now plugged in and all of a sudden it's fine. I know it's not just my tablet as a bunch of people have been saying the same thing happens when they charge it via wall adapter.

This was actually a big drawback for me since I didn't like that I couldn't use it when charging it as fast as possible.

So I don't know how this happened, but it's nice. Also, current temperature on my S7 is 35.3, but that's most likely due to how hot it is where I am. Even my laptop's hot when it normally stays cool because of the Energy Management software set at best battery health by Lenovo. It's not lagging or anything and still runs fast.

Does this have to do with your ROM? Because it seemed like even with it the screen was acting weird before this happened.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] algorhythm:
So what's the verdict on this tablet? As good as the N7? Worth saving the 50$ or worth jumping in on a N7? I like having quick updates from Google so I may want to just wait and get a N7..
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] xboxexpert:
Again the Kernel is what processes everything. My rom is a base build off the stock rom. In other words, stock rom, deodexed and stripped no difference. If the screen is flipping out or the hardware is going nuts its the tablet its self but then again it could be an isolated incident. I have noticed however people complain about the camera and its just one small thing compared to what you actually get from your $150 bucks.

I have also noticed this in my time with tablets. From MFGer the screen comes coated with some type of spray to safeguard it while shipping. You need to wipe down the screen once you get the device home. I can only tell you that the HD+ by nook had a weird texture. When I swiped I could feel resistance. I felt the same with this tablet. I used a soft wet cloth to wipe down my LCD and now it's buttery to the touch. Not sure if that is the case here but it couldn't hurt.

I really hope your issue is not hardware related it seems these suckers are quite the hard find the past few days.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] xboxexpert:
I like it....I'd like it better if it had a decent kernel modification.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] htcfan85:
Yeah, you are reading what I said wrong, or not all of it right. My screen flipped out for a bit when I unplugged it to use it. But once I plugged it back in, it started working right. For now, the screen doesn't flip out when it's charging for a wall adapter! :laugh: I don't know why it's suddenly working, but I hope it's a good sign rather than a bad one. I feel like if I turn it on and off, then it'll go right back to not being not being usable when charging, when

it is usable with absolutely no hiccups when charging right now

.

Edit: I forgot I posted the video from before haha. This was from the other thread when I was plugged in with a wall adapter and using ATG's Serolicious ROM. I was worried that my product was defective again or that the Serolicious screwed up something on the S7, but found out it only did that when charging. In fact, it WAS doing that even on your ROM, but for some unknown and great reason, it's not doing it anymore.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] xboxexpert:
I'm still blaming the kernel. I'm just going to blame the kernel for everything until someone comes here and releases a better one. I'm also going to be holding my breath.

After playing around a lot with the dpi resolution, I found that the best resolution is 175 dpi. I checked a lot of applications and so far all worked great without artifacts or graphical errors. Other resolutions like 160 or 180 give me a lot of trouble with several programs such as Flipboard and periodic table. The stock resolution of 213 makes periodic table unreadable. Attached is a screen capture of 175 dpi.

Maybe I'm spoiled but my s3 is so much smoother on 4.2.2 roms. Think this may be the 2gb vs 1gb ram? For a quad core it seems to chug slower than my dual core s3.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] xboxexpert:
I'm not understanding exactly. Read the thread 2 and perform a factory restore then if you wish to flash the stock_recovery use post 1.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] xboxexpert:
175 dpi is really good. I'm running it. If it works out well enough my v2 rom will include the change.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] sqn816:
yea sorry. its a mess. i think i bricked it. ok so i was trying to get it back to stock. and flash the stock recovery. so now when i boot up it goes to the android system recovery and will not go beyond that. but when i power down and boot up with -vol+power i get into cwm recovery. so thats where i'm at now.

crap. now it just boots to android system recovery...any fastboot fix?
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] wbales:
Try to connect a microsd card to your computer and download either the stock or xboxexpert ROM, then factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache and flash your ROM.

Try that, it might work
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] sqn816:
nope tried that too, its bricked.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] xboxexpert:
Its definitely not bricked. I provide team viewer support with over the phone assistance please PM me for details. Also fastboot.exe is located in my Root Script and if you hold Volume up and Power you will enter fast boot. Provided you have a USB cable and a PC you can just type the following commands from within the folder where my root script is located.

fastboot flash recovery cwm_touch_recovery.img

Once its flashed hold power for 8 seconds. The tablet will power off.

Press Volume down and Power to boot to Recovery and proceed to flash either my rom or the stock rom. Once the stock rom is installed you can proceed to goto fastboot once more and flash the Stock_recovery.img

fastboot flash recovery stock_recovery.img

You will be left with a bone stock out of box Sero 7 tablet.

Update:

you can feel free to do the manual way above or just check post two I added a recovery section . Redownload the root package and you will now have a XERecovery.exe to run!! It does it all for you!
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] sqn816:

Hey Guys, bad news.

Might have to sell my pro. My parents and I need some new phones. My charger port is bad, my mom's phone's power button is sporadic, and my dad's phone, just tragic all the way around lol. I love my folks enough to do what I have to do to make sure that we are taken care of. This tablet is worth $149 (got the protection plan on it), and all I have to do is flash this rom with a missing lib or something so that it gets stuck in bootloop, then go to Walmart and say "You F*cking bastards sold me a broken tablet" lol. From there, I do what I have to do to take care of us, only because Im going off to college next week and I need the line of communication to be rock solid. Sometimes our phones don't get calls and all that hoopla and it's just too much to deal with, and bills are creating too many close calls for them to be throwing cash out at upgrades right now. Like I said, if I have resources, I use them to help others in any way possible, that is especially true for the people that gave birth to me! :good:

So I'll be around, but not as much. I still LOOOOVE this device, and I can't wait to see the beast it grows into with you guys behind it. Thanks for helping, thanks for being a community (XDA seems to have lost the meaning of that in light of their financial growth), and keep this thing going so that you can shoot nice big birds to all the nay sayers! Thanks guys :laugh::laugh::laugh:

P.S. - Im still going to work to get you all the Kernel source, Im going to stay in Hisense's ass about supporting you guys, and I am still working to get that forum up for you on ASpin. The only thing that I WONT be doing is developing roms for it, which is kinda bummer :( :crying:

Being poor doesn't have to turn you into a dishonest person. I'm referring to the Walmart thing. Regardless of what you think, screwing what you perceive to be a "rich" person (or company) is still screwing them....

I'm going to just ignore the huge elephant over there and throw in another vote for full!screen as the app of choice for hiding your navbar.

The paid version allows you to hide automatically for apps separately which is just sublime.

Either way, both the free and paid version allows you to toggle fullscreen simply (both on and off) from both a notification toggle and a highly customizable, 'always on top', floating softkey hotspots.

SoftKeyZ is also pretty awesome in other ways, allowing you to change the look of you buttons. (I use tabletUI, the blue battery icon, and a theme with SoftKeyZ to make it all match the blue/black color scheme throughout.)

Couple this with full!screen+, set to trigger my fullscreen-friendly apps into fullscreen automatically and bringing my navbar back when it's needed...it's just about perfect.

In fullscreen (no navbar), I use a swiping gesture from the top left corner to open a floating menu, which i customized to let me easily activate the navbar, go home, goto my task manager (recent apps), and go back. Long holding the corner also goes back for me.

Swiping my upper right corner shows my notifications, even in fullscreen games and videos.

This is all customizable and can be set to do many things with either a press, a tap, or a swipe in any corner.

you can also customize the look and response of these hotspots (I made mine very tiny and invisible, it only shows when I activate it.)

This all works perfectly on my sero using tablet ui and the XES7R (v1 and v2)

Give it a try if you haven't yet!

This functionality should have been built in and I can't imagine using on-screen softkeys without it anymore.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] mingolianbeef:
I thought that part would have served as comic relief, didn't know it wud affect someone like that, so let me be more straightforward.

I'm still in the "return policy" window, I haven't had this thing but like 3 weeks. I can walk in and return it. The method above was only used once and that is how I discovered it to be possible. I rooted my kyocera echo (I was so excited) and started haphazardly adding stuff. I was not a Dev at the time so I'm pretty much an amateur android fanboy playing in the danger zone, I removed the systemUI.apk to get a "true full screen", and the phone didn't boot. We didn't get a recovery image until ,months after and I had gotten my phone replaced with an evo 3D. As u know, that can. Be fixed with RUUs, and sprint has the RUUs on their servers to restore it, so that would have never worked, haven't used it since.

And I'm blessed to have 3 phones and I know it. However, there is no point in having phones that don't serve their purpose. And that bill stays up to date because I'm the only one with unlocked hotspot (gotta love CM builds) and they need the net for work, so that bill is a requirement in our house, not even an option, it stops working, we don't eat, and that doesn't help the situation at all :P

sold my nook hd+ a few weeks ago and got the gnote8 - which i love. my daughter ended up falling in love with a small tablet so i got here an asus memo - i can't stand the netflix lag! even though i don't use it, it's driving me crazy! my daughter won't let me exchange it for something better so i'm doing this on the downlow and hope she doesn't notice. for $20 extra i got a far better tablet. hell, for the price it's the best bang for the buck (thought the nook hd+ at $149 is a bargain too).

at first it rang up as $149 and she went to get her manager to do a price adjustment. when she got back it re-rang up as $129. i'm almost sad that i got the gnote 8 now, but i really do want the pressure sensitivity since i draw.
