Are you referring to the i-Blason case? You have me a bit concerned as I have one of these cases. The case provides a slight recess from the screen and the inside of the cover that faces the screen appears to be made of some sort of soft chamois like material. Has yours caused damage to your screen? I'm not really looking to add a screen protector, but if the case will cause damage, I guess I will start looking for a screen protector.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] paratwa53:
Yes I have the i-Blason case. What happens is that the material will pick up dirt, then when your carrying it you can squeeze the cover and it will rub on the screen. I am going to have to replace my screen protector soon due to rub marks.

I highly recommend getting a screen protector.

so would anyone happen to know if the canadian version is compatible with the US version of this rom?
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] ralphiegixenflargle:
A couple of points

1. Thank you. I love you. No really, the Mods working with the tablet UI make the world go round.

2. I have no idea where the /thirdparty directory is.

My final and most important point:

I've been searching around for ways to use OTG USB mass storage, and from my research, it appears the Sero 7 Pro does not support mass storage. I have successfully used a mouse and a keyboard, but not storage. From what I understand, you need to push fuse.ko and some additional drivers to grant full access to NTFS read-write capability, and it looks as if there are no drivers specifically designed for the Hisense Sero 7 Pro kernel out there just yet.

New challenge?

Your work is greatly appreciated.

Check here for Stock ROM+Boot+Recovery (or check my sig, just added link there since it is kinda buried)

You shouldn't need to get stock recovery from OP but,

I find it easiest to use doloresparks Root/CWM packages to push recovery through ADB using the .bat file scripts.

You can either rename the .img file or (my preference) make a copy of "step3-cwm.bat", rename it to "step3-stock-recovery.bat" then edit it in your favorite text editor so that all instances of "cwm_touch_recovery.img" are changed to "stock_recovery.img"

That way you have stock and CWM recoveries easily available for pushing through ADB.

Has anyone tried to add a swap file to increase ram? I have a 32gb class 10 card I have had split up for SD space and using link 2sd but have noticed my 1gb of ram stays pretty full I thought I would add a 1gb swap file to add a little but haven't had much luck.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] dgjenkins:
I see the problem. You need to flash the Tablet UI mod to get rid of the screen capture button. Or, install Dopa v1.1, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2470998. That's what I'm currently running and it's very stable. It does have some of the bloatware removed but the core system has not been altered. Basically it takes up development of 4.2.1 where XBox left off.

i'm having trouble with the drivers section. i plug the tablet into the computer and windows automatically installs some drivers. if i go to the device manager and look for m470bsa it is listed under portable devices, and not 'other devices' as the instructions say. if i try to manually update the driver for it, it says "windows has determined the driver software for this device is up to date" and only gives the option to close.

edit. after a few unhelpful comments i finally found a helpful answer. that USB debugging must also be turned on. this was not mentioned in the first post. it was eluded to with step #3 as 'adb debugging'. maybe it is common knowledge and i'm just stupid not to know they were the same, who knows.

ok, sorry but 'dopa' is not the same name as dolorespark. That is why I was asking. B/c i already knew the one that dolorespark made, but since you said 'dopa' then i thought you meant something completely different.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] dgjenkins:
True, Dopa v1.1 is the name of the current ROM that dolorespark built. The first three posts of that thread have numerous pieces of good information in them, including how to do what you're asking.

Hey I was thinking in doing the same, but honestly I don't know if it's possible, I guess it is, I just don't know how to start it lol

Anyway this is great suggestion, what the devs thinks about it? is it possible to add more ram by using some available space of the sd card?

[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] RoCKOwNz:
I used to have a Samsung precedent a few years ago and used a swap partition it only had 384mb of ram but increased to 1gb and all was good it was a pretty slow device though. Never tried it on something as fast as this, just thought it would help since I run so much stuff. Just haven't been able to get it working to try it out, I know the swap partition isn't technically ram and it isn't going to be as fast as my actual ram but just thought it would possibly help.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] alex_is_the_1:
Swap is bad on your SD card. It increases read and writing to it which decreases the life cycle. So use at your own risk.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] RoCKOwNz:
I'm aware of the risks and I got a patriot 32gb class 10 it was like $15 at Fry's electronics. Its decent quality and wasn't much money. I ran the same brand just 16gb in my precedent a few years ago and it still works. The kids play on it now and its been kicking a swap partition for a few years now.

[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] envygreen:
Thanks kekinash and xboxexpert - and it's really not an inconvenience. Tablet and the rom perform as advertised (and them some!) I signed up for Vudu when I booted the stock rom just to get access to the "10 free movies" and check out Vudu since I hadn't previously. But I was too excited about the tablet and checking out the stripped down rom with the tablet ui, so I never went further than creating the account.

Last night, totally failed to read your post (was multitasking). Just tried it now, but after dropping the files in the correct location with the suggested permissions and rebooting, the app shows up in app drawer but still fc's when I try to launch. Lunch is about over so not much more testing I can do until I'm on the train home or this evening.

Not sure if it matters, but since I already said no to the first time setup "would you like to create an account" app, it's no longer showing up when I turn on the tablet. If I need to clear app data and try again or do anything else I'm happy to test this evening.

Also, for the record, the charging hack is excellent. ;)

Same Vudu results here.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] xboxexpert:
Would you guys be willing to revert to the stock deodexed rom, backup what you currently have going of course. Then try the Vudu App. I wonder if deodexing or the tabletUI broke it.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] kekinash:
Yeap, I think the Table UI broke a few things. Some applications like Periodic Table ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jqsoft.apps.periodictable.hd ) don't work properly. Last night I just move to the original stock ROM+root and so far is working great.

So if you are having problems with some apps. Do as xboxexpert said, and go for the non Tablet UI ROM version. Just remember that flashing another ROM erases all the internal memory, and that includes pictures, music and files.

For the GPS problems I used FasterFix (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.Double.FasterFix ). Got a fix first time in under 10 sec inside a 2 feet wall building. Just select North America in FasterFix.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] envygreen:
Sure thing. No promise on timeline, but I can probably do it tonight after work.

So, nandroid, wipe, flash stock - not your stripped down XE, boot and try Vudu?

Will try XE ROM without tablet UI mod, just move over the two files and change permissions to see if that works as well if I have time.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] xboxexpert:
I don't enjoy the way the /data/media is symlinked in this stock OS. CWM doesn't skip /data/media so it just wipes it. No good...best thing to do is keep all your personal stuff on external for now.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] xboxexpert:
XE-ROM is the base build cleaned and stripped. You could easily remove all those things yourself if you have a program that will mount r/w to system.

I feel if tabletUI only broke a few apps that not aLOT ALOT of people use...I find the tabletUI worth the sacrifice.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] ED2O9:
I must be the only person who prefers the "phablet" UI over the tablet version. In all seriousness, I think I must be missing something, based on everyone else's preference. In my experience, the icons don't space properly between landscape and portrait and the status bar seems too crowded with everything on the bottom on a 7" tablet. I also like the dual drop-down windows for notifications and toggles.

I'm guessing that I have some settings wrong, or I'm missing some key features. Feel free to fill me in.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] kekinash:
yes, and most of those broken apps are bad coded about DPI parameters. So far I found only a couple of apps broken, but nothing critical. No crashes, just small graphical issues.

What the heck are you guys running that you need more than 1GB of RAM, anyway?

Wouldn't you want the swap file to use the EMMC, as opposed to mSD?

On-board will always be faster than removable (not to mention if you forget to unlink the swap before ejecting the card, ouch)!

I know this is a dev thread but i have a question that ultimately is connected to this. My niece has the US sero 7 pro, completely stock right now. Just recently it has gone crazy, the screen to be exact. You can touch one place and a different app will open, or it will just launch gnow out of nowhere. I was clicking through the playstore on it and it was going bonkers. Have any of you seen this? I did a factory reset on it and its still acting up.

Is it plugged into a non-stock charger when you're trying this? I have two of these devices and they're both very sensitive to voltage fluctuations (or maybe it's low current?). I have a couple of chargers that exhibit the exact behavior you mention when they're plugged in, but the tablet is fine as soon as it's unplugged. I just use the stock charger and it seems fine.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] jachol:
Hi Pg, and others,

Let me clarify this problem ... there is no issue with the UK or the US Sero 7s, the fact is that Apps don't install into storage. Examine the

system structure with a file manager (I use ES file manager) Apps install to Device/System/Apps so it's the system

partition that runs out of space, (checkout my screenshots)

solve the problem by using Apps2SD (some app data is left on the system though). IMO Mount 2SD does a better job, but is

more complex you need to format your ext. SD card, and create a partition that in effect supplements the system partition and adds space. Pg

I note you class yourself as a complete noob, get your friend to check out Mount2SD, if you have data, backups etc. on the external SD card

save it to your PC and restore it later after the format.

Hope this helps. Just for info I've had the Sero 7 a few days, apart from root + CWM I haven't touched it, and have just finished reading this

complete thread. ... J
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] lichan:
I second the Mounts2SD recommendation. I use it on my EVO 4G and Sero 7 Pro and you can put hundreds of apps on if you so desire. I have run into a boot loop on the S7P when I try to move app data to the sd-ext partition in addition to apps and app libs, but the app directory is the important one. Mounts2SD is available to XDA members in an unlocked version in another thread. Another free app available in the play store is Root Exterior 2 Interior SD which switches the mount points for the internal storage with the external SD card. I have not run Ext2Int by itself so I don't know if it is enough alone.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] jachol:
Hi lichan,

Root Exterior 2 interior SD sounds great, but I can't find it under that name in Playstore, I have this feature on my Lenovo A760 mobile phone in it's

settings menu ... it's brilliant. Can you check out the correct name please, ... J.

OK I found it, just took the spaces out (Enter as a continuous word), thanks for this one I hadn't seen it before. ... J
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] lichan:
Sorry. Try Root External 2 Internal SD,also.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] jachol:
That works fine ... reading the reviews it isn't well recommended, but I suspect it may be an app that needs a clean start ie.uninstall all your apps,

backup any SD card files you need, then reformat the card, reboot and install Root External 2 Internal SD and configure it first and follow up with apps you want to

reinsatall. then restore your saved files to the card. That would be my way to go. ...;)
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] lichan:
I left the external SD card in Fat32 so it can still be directly read in a Windows machine for faster copying. The app suggests ExFat or ext4 but doesn't say it requires it, IIRC.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] ALD3:
I use link2sd on both the Sero 7 Pro & Lte, partitioned micro SD(32 gig) in 2 fat32 partitions, 1st with 28 gig and 2nd with 4 gig. Link2sd uses the 2nd partition and all works well. You do have 2 be rooted. I did both with apps already installed, then manually linked all that I could to the 4 gig. Tried each app after linking it and only had a couple that wouldn't work, so unlinked them.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] lichan:
Link2SD leaves more of the actual app in memory than Mounts2SD so, depending on how many apps you want to hoard, you can run out of internal space. I ran out of room using Link2SD and went to Mounts2SD with the same sd-ext partition and was able to continue adding apps. It's really a situation of which app works for a person's particular situation. I have not found any apps that wouldn't work with Mounts2SD but to move individual apps back to internal memory (as link2SD can unlink individual apps) you would have to promote them to system apps, which can be done in several ways once you are rooted (which all of this type of apps require.) For instance you may want your launcher app to stay resident so it will work if the external SD card is removed.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] jachol:
OK, your info noted, I'm going to experiment with this on an old HTC Desire Bravo which was notorius for it's lack of app space, I used Mount2SD
