I am well served with this tablet. Corresponds very well to my expectations with the current features.

They spoke on this issue, I'm trying to understand if it is actually true or not.

Regards,

It wouldn't be the first device to come with more RAM than advertised.

European version of HTC HD2 had 128 MB of RAM less then the American, but it was unlocked with a new kernel.

But still I don't believe that our tablet has 2 gigs of RAM.

New System Update

A new system update just appeared on mine - brings me up to Android 4.2.2, build#:

ME173X_WW-user-4.2.4.06716_20130918 release-keys

and appears to have added Encryption support! (having dared try this out, yet!)

I haven't hunted around much for further changes, but now I also get a little "headphones" icon when I plug in my earphone, which is cute :)

Edit:

The GUI for adding extra users has been re-added, too - again, have not actually tested it, yet.
[General Questions and Answers] ulisses.:
Yes, I updated my tablet too. Unfortenately, it did not solve my problem :(

Guys,i have BIG request to you.Is there somebody,who is able to upload whole /system/app folder?I deleted some fuc*ing bloatware from ASUS,but now i am not able to update my tablet - always aborted in recovery.

Please,somebody,help me (and i believe,that i am not the only one,who did the same thing...).

[General Questions and Answers] Mike_BLN:
and maybe for the future...deactivate systemapps is the better choice then delete them!
[General Questions and Answers] sajty:
I had the same idea after deleting those apps...But I thought,that this tablet will have better support,i was wrong...Its not like my Galaxy Nexus,where always exist way how to recover system :).
[General Questions and Answers] Jorge Moreira:
Have I screwed up the thick. :(

The update was giving error because the system / build.prop

I changed the permissions for 664

When reeniciar the Asus logo was upside down and not out there.

Can overcome this problem? if yes, how?

I can access fastboot mode.

What is the command to restore this?
[General Questions and Answers] Mike_BLN:
Yes, that's true... at the moment !

I hope their are more Developer out there will find that the Memopad is a nice choice to save money for a nice pice of technique and give us the opportunity for Custom Recovery, ROMs aso.

MTK Soc's seems to be potent but little tricky...a real challange :D

btw. i love praha.....realy one of the nicest Towns in good old Europe...

Just this morning mine also updated kernel to 4.2.4 (about 120 mb) ota

although it´s really annoying there´s no update log anywhere to be found and can´t find any info on the web

Does anyone knows if this updated file is deleted automatically, if not is there a way to free up some space by deleting it ?

After updating my memo pad, the settings app crashes whenever i hit the sound settings. does anyone else have this problem?
[General Questions and Answers] LaizyJumper:
Update file is stored in /cache partition. You won't gain anything by removing this file manually. And I believe it is deleted automatically after the update anyway.

It's a shame that it is just another patch, not a full update. Would be very useful to get a full system image one day.

By the way, has anyone updated the device successfully, without having any problems after update?

I have read about troubles with the new version, so I would postpone my update if it makes the tablet unusable.

Is the rooting process still valid for new version?
[General Questions and Answers] fqr:
rooting with motochopper still works...
[General Questions and Answers] superdragonpt:
The information provided by the apps from the Store are NOT correct, since this tab is using an new MTK SoC, and i dont believe it really haves 2gb of RAM .

As for kernel compiling forget it, its Mediatek, their sources are either incomplete or with alot of dummy code.

As yes the bootloader is locked, and the partition used for the recovery is symlinked to another partition.
[General Questions and Answers] fqr:
if anyone else suffers from a crashing settings app, when hitting the sound settings... a factory reset is the remedy

Hi there again. This last update really bricked my Memo Pad.

The only way I can think of restoring it, would be through a recovery mode backup. Would anyone be able to do me this enormous favour? I'd be very very gratefull!

I already made two test Recoverys (Cannibal Open Touch Recoverys) it's based on CWM but its much better and with touch.

thing is, i can't unlock the bootloader, atleast with the known methods...

Also for enyone that is willing to give it an try, may i warn you, the default recovery partition is symlinked to another partition, so keep that in mind and pay atencion to the fstab and other mount points

I've tested it under the values-ru-RU aka the pad was with the russian language as default...

before i flashed it, i checked your files...

Thats not the case, as i said, the recovery partition, is symlinked to another partition, i will need to made the necessary changes and test it again...

The good news are, i was able to connect adb to my pc, for some seconds. But it will required more tests and time.

At the moment my TAB, is soft bricked, but i believe i will get it to his normal state after i get the recovery bugless and functional.

And another

I'll add myself to list of failed updates. On first boot MiniAppDocking continually stopping and respawning - loads of other apps failing but at least they took the hint when I hit ok. MiniAppDocking constantly grabbing focus. Able to make it into settings so attempted a reset which didn't help. Can't get beyond the select language screen as MiniAppDocking constantly popping up. Any normal boot and tablet attempts to complete upgrade - optimizing apps... Would be more helpful if it would fall back to last known working state... :( . Would really rather not return. Asus not having a recovery tool just seems crazy.

That's exactly what happened to me :( nothing i tried was helping.

My memo tab as arrived from asus. They gave warranty. Hopefully other people with same issue as mine can feel free to send it to them. Nice from asus.
[General Questions and Answers] CaptainEncrypto:
I second that notion. My updates failed until I replaced build.prop with untouched one and unrooted before update. Update went without a hitch and (knock on wood) so far everything working just fine. I was also able to reroot with framaroot(supersu+borimir exploit) with no apparent problems.

The update adds user support and a few useless google apps but other than that I cannot tell a difference as of yet. Hopefully this fixes a few of the bugs I was having where my tablet would randomly reboot from time to time under heavy stress loads....
[General Questions and Answers] flaxjef:
I also have problems with updating.... Can anybody tell me where I can get a untouched build.prop or explain me how to restore it back to untouched state. Thanks in advance.

Without root you will not be able to restore build.prop. its in root folder. If you need I've a backup. I think if you do a factory reset you will have a new created

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Babbalabba:
Hello! I have managed to root my phone, but I got the set up wizard message and the gapps error. After a google search it told me I had the wrong version of gapps. However, when I go to the official gapps page, the download for cm 10.1 only works with 4.2.2 and not 4.1.2. The one for cm 10.0 is for 4.1.2, but on the hercules downloads page, the 10.1 stable release is already out (that's the one I used!). Does this mean I have to run 10.1 without gapps, or downgrade to 10.0 if I want gapps?

Trust me, I have searched for this. Any help would be appreciated.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] krazierokz:
if you are on 10.1 grab the first one on the page http://goo.im/gapps also double check make sure you have no market installed if you do then you dont need any gapps install everything from the market

It appears to have no end to the blue circling boot screen. I tried clearing cache and factory reset using CWM, no cigar still. Any fixes for this?

The CM version is the 10.1 stable release for hercules.

The gapps version is the 20130301 version.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] krazierokz:
which link did you flash for the CM what thread point in the right direction where you flashed from ? if you booted up the first flash and gapps were incorrect it shouldnt matter when you update the gapps it wipes the old files just make sure to wipe dalvik/cache and reboot
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Babbalabba:
My Idiocy

I am retarded. I decided to go and unroot the phone and flash a stock rom and try again. I then flashed twrp via odin (which I prefer now) with no problems. But for some reason, no matter how many times I clear everything and try different kernels, the device will just not root. I have tried the superuser zips from the official site, I have tried the superuser from CWM's site, nothing works. Gah. Now what? Am I stuck stock forever?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] meekrawb:
Just use TWRP to flash whatever (Hercules) ROM you want. Make sure you wipe dalvik, cache, system and data.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Babbalabba:
Alright, I will try a wipe again, and then flash a custom ROM. If it doesn't root me I will report back with the situation. Thank you for all your help!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Babbalabba:
Um, just another question before I proceed with wipe and rom...if the ROM is based off of JB 4.2.2, such as Cyanogen mod, will my phone just run 4.2.2 as part of the rom, or will it be incompatible?

EDIT: Never mind...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Babbalabba:
I love you all forever. It works, and I have gapps running and root access. Thank you so much...I really don't know what to say. :D

Hello

In the begining there was the XDA, and then the XDAII, and now, in the post to me as we speak (I hope) is the XDAIIs.

Ive spent the past hour surfing around this site, and been quite amazed at some of the things you guys and gals can make these devices do. A recent change in company has moved me from my beloved hardware engineering onto software, nothing spectacular at the moment, editing .ini, .bat, .exe and a few other types of files. It has however got me interested in playing with my phone, but the problem is I don't know where to start, I see programs called mkrom which need to run on a unix like system (which I don't have) and RomKitchen ?

Are there any recomendations on a place to start ? whether its online tutorial or a good book you have bought from somewhere, and I mean books that start from the very bottom of the pile. Again, I know bits and pieces but nothing substantial in this area.

At the moment its more the applications for the today screen I`m interested in.

Any info will be much appreciated

All the best

Nikki

Welcome aboard Nikki. You can start here:

[General Topics] Robson:
mate, regarding "At the moment its more the applications for the today screen I`m interested in. Any info will be much appreciated"

there are loads of apps you can put on the today screen such as:

1) animated today - animation on your today screen

2) today launch apps - allows you to put icons / shortcuts to your favorite applications

3) weather

4) phone profiles

5) system information showing you amount of memory used, battery remaining, program terminator or switcher

6) nothing on your today screen...just the background pic/theme

7) world time which displays around 6 times zones

8) quotes

9) games on the today screen (e.g. baseball...but if you ask me i'd go for footy) :D

10) note screen for scribbling

11) let's see....oh you can also put a different kind of clock or date format

12) calendar or task summary

13) and a whole bunch of others...

no need to buy anything really; just hop on over to the 02 and xda websites...not to mention this forum as your means of gaining tons of info.

you can try these links:
