The firmware was compiled at 12.Dec. It is the latest one. Maybe the Russians' frmware was too old. The performance of A18 is better now. It won't be shutdown when playing games. I have tried "Real Racing 3" , it worked very well.:)

TEAM GEE and Diquan2001

TEAM GEE and Diquan2001 relationship is unique in that he has a personal contact on their team. But that is the measure of factory support to their other users "just ignore". And yes it is very hard for anybody else to get a respond from them.

What ADb and USB driver do you use to connect PC and device.?

lijianwei,

What ADB and USB driver do you use to connect the VOYO to the PC? I have ADB driver installed on my PC for rooting Rk3xxx and MTK65xx already so the ADB part I am not so worried. Just afraid about the USB drivers.

I install the driver with a software called "wandoujia(豌豆荚)".It can scan and install the driver automatically.

According to the GPL, the factory of the devices should offer Open Source Codes of the Kernel. But I didn't find any of this. The motherboard of both A18 and TG super8 is designed by "Urberrer"(www.urbetter.com). Can anybody help to ask for the source code from it?
[General Questions and Answers] stallionrider21:
Hello to everyone in this thread' please bear with me ..I arrived in China and looked for a top of the line tablet MID and found VOYO A18. now almost after a month use I can say it is one of the best in market but I it has firmware issues like team gee s8. I found that:

1.it used to crash almost 3-4 times and was hoping next firmware update will solve this but even after updating 16-Dec update it still has the problem. Now i tried another fix that I have fully charged it and then cleared the battery stats from root tools app from Google play.I can see great improvement in battery draining and so far there is none switch off issue,but I will update about it later.

2. This tab has got Huawei ultra stick 3g mobile broadband. I am experiencing signal problem most of the time. And if I turn off the screen there is no cellular service after that until I reboot.

3. Most important thing. When I bought this piece it used to produce static noise (heard clearly in speakers)very much while charging/not charging, screen flicker and used to get crash. I though it was due to poor quality control of Chinese mfr and so disassembled whole tab again assembled it and re rooted speakers wires as they were very close to battery wires..after all this binary I don't get now the said problems.

In the end I pay my respects to all especially cracktech and datagr for helping out all members. I hope you ppl will help solving the problems of this device as its a very good hardware just need right software.

Hello friends ,

I have sold my Super8 Tablet .

I was just not seeing any improvements coming from the last ROMS we received from TeamGee.

The poor batterylife of the Tablet was just not acceptable for me .

So that's why i sold it .

I also tried to contact the TeamGee Team for the last 2 weeks sending mails almost every other day.

They just don't answer me anymore .

So with that im sorry to say i will not be providing you guys here with new ROMS anymore.

My TeamGee Super8 adventure has ended .

Regards

Diquan.

[General Questions and Answers] cracktech:
Regarding the GPS fix I have solution but we cant do it because we are not rooted yet.What I found out from my 5 pads (all chinese pads) are they dont have a configuration file called "gps.conf" inside them we will have to inject this file into the system/etc folder with the correct configuration settings for our respective locations.

Example of what is inside the the config file :

(Example given is for my country Malaysia = my.pool.ntp.server you change this to your country's e.g fr=France, ch=Swiss,de=Germany

ENABLE_WIPER=1

DEFAULT_AGPS_ENABLE=TRUE

DEFAULT_SSL_ENABLE=FALSE

INTERMEDIATE_POS=1

ACCURACY_THRES=5000

REPORT_POSITION_USE_SUPL_REFLOC=1

NTP_SERVER=my.pool.ntp.org

NTP_SERVER_1=0.my.pool.ntp.org

NTP_SERVER_2=1.my.pool.ntp.org

NTP_SERVER_3=2.my.pool.ntp.org

NTP_SERVER_4=asia.pool.ntp.org

NTP_SERVER_5=1.asia.pool.ntp.org

NTP_SERVER_6=2.asia.pool.ntp.org

NTP_SERVER_7=3.asia.pool.ntp.org

XTRA_SERVER=http://xtra1.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin

XTRA_SERVER_1=http://xtra2.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin

XTRA_SERVER_2=http://xtra3.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin

SUPL_HOST=sls1.sirf.com

SUPL_HOST=sls2.sirf.com

SUPL_HOST=supl.google.com

SUPL_HOST=supl.nokia.com

SUPL_PORT=7276

SUPL_TLS_HOST=supl.google.com:7276

SUPL_SECURE_PORT=7275

SUPL_NO_SECURE_PORT=3425

SUPL_TLS_CERT=/etc/security/SuplRootCert ==========>>>(google's)

SUPL_TLS_CERT_1=/etc/security/gps.cer ==========>>>(Samsung cert)

CURRENT_CARRIER=common

You will see a near instantaneous fix on a "hot start" or not more than 60 seconds for "cold start". But this cannot be done unless we have Root access. I decided against buying the pad altogether due to the no Root access and the odd size mine has always been 10 inches (bigger the better) except and AigoM60 for my grandaughter (6 inch).

But will follow up with you guys if ever I changed my mind (for USD125 it is a steal from distributors). Not from Geekbuying it is double that price and I manage to embarass them big time when I told them that we got the firmware upgrade from amongst users and they dont even know there is an update and dont have a copy of the firmware.So far it has been 3 days since they last replied to me regarding customer service ( I asked them when will they get the frimware update or are they going to leave their customer high and dry after a sales, of course the standard answer is NO we will not.............) Thats when I drop them the bomb shell that a user as already got his hands on the upgraded firmware with "gapps" installed so far no "standard" answer for 3 days.

They say they are a big time distributor and represent TEAM GEE then they should have got newer upgraded firmware than us users.

That is why I (go on record) sincerely thank diquan2001 for his efforts and I know we can make it better once we have it rooted preferably SuperSU then I MIGHT return to Team GEE on a 10".( I returned my purchased TG8001 due to this reasons).
[General Questions and Answers] ilyadan:
I installed the new updated firmware. It's much better for me. Antutu score was 13k that is about half of what it should be. Processor had very low score. There is a big lag at wakeup as before. I think that root and better kernel will do magic to this device. I just hope that somebody can do it.
[General Questions and Answers] cracktech:
ANTUTU SCORE AND rooting

Antutu score of 13k is not acceptable for Octa core even my quad core is at 18k+.

Now for rooting experiments : download and try all the link I have attached to see which one is workable:

Eroot Win Installer : https://www.dropbox.com/s/3pl6alu5wj7g53w/ERoot_virus free.zip

Pure TSparky Root : https://www.dropbox.com/s/lfjcqna7vqlr0qt/TPSparkyRoot.zip

:confused:Dans Root script : https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzXIan93EkgkZE9DVllxM3RjVFk/edit?usp=sharing

Try the MTK Rooting Exploits also it has a linux and osx drivers wriiten into it these tools I have used before and thye do not brick my device either they just install "su" binaries and " and "busybox" and missed out on the Superuser insatllation which is good enough for use just downlaod any version of Superuser from Playstore or nothing at all some of the China exploits are craps things that got done with these software they fail by going "puargh hard to root msgs".

Try the MTK rooting exploit I rooted my MTK Quad core phone in just one go when these Chinese exploits failed many many times.:cowboy:
[General Questions and Answers] diquan2001:
So im a littlebit confused .

You guys are talking about 13k and 18k Antutu scores on your Super8 .

But i just tested my Super8 again and my score is over 29000.

So this is with the new ROM installed .

Is that a common issue? Sorry for the off topic problem.
[General Questions and Answers] ilyadan:
The score

I did the test again and the score was much better. May be I didn't let the ROM settle enough time before the first test.

First run was 13914 (sorry that is 14k and not 13 - my mistake). Now I done three tests: 25828, 26354, 26321.

It's much better now.

Try to modify the default.prop file and set the ro.secure=1 to 0
[General Questions and Answers] cracktech:
How the hell do you expect to do that without ROOT?

How the hell do you expect anybody to access the "ro-secure" without root access? we are trying to get root access here not modify anything yet unless some body can add the Superuser and su binaries in the system.img file unpack and repack it back without causing any problems. I could try that approach by asking an admin on ArchTablet Forum which I am an advanced memeber (but not that advance/experience as to the unpack and repack a system.img file.

For experimenters "did you try the Dans Root script it is based on TSparky root where Tsparky failed the DANs Root script succeeds.
[General Questions and Answers] datagr:
You could edit the boot.img before installation. The default.prop is init. Then flash it. I will try it and see if it works.
[General Questions and Answers] cracktech:
You are Senior member here!

You dont expect newbies like us to now how to unpack and repack the *.img files (without the proper tools!) This is an Octa core Exynos maybe there are unpack/repack tools for Quad cores even if I had the tools the safest way is to find a root exploit for the Exynos Octa Core.

You know other senior members here, request them to help us out.

I preinstalled the superuser.apk in /system/app/ and su in /system/lib/ and flashed the modified rom but no root.

The superuser app was installed normally but there was no root access in the device.

I will try the supersu but can someone point me where exactly each file goes so I can patch the original system.img with supersu init?

---------- Post added at 05:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:25 PM ----------

Also I have noticed that there is no clockworkmod in the folder to be installed in the recovery partition of the device.

Maybe if we can find a compatible clockworkmod and add it in the sd-card (the script has already "fatload mmc 1 0x40008000 ramdisk-recovery-uboot.img" command so it will install it if it finds it) we can work easier with the CWM.
[General Questions and Answers] cracktech:
No! No!

The su binaries should be installed in the /xbin and /bin folders (either xbin/bin only or both) thats where the SuperSU would be looking for them use SuperSU not any ther Superuser app., and busybox should go to either the /bin or /xbin folder preferable the /xbin to be paired/acompanied by busybox (v1.20.1).

You are the guy its just that you put the binaries in the wrong place, thats all. You made us proud.Thanks a LOT!

By the way what tools did you use to unpack and repack. I have zero knowledge on how to unpack and repack actually apart from breaking apart an RK3188 *.img into boot.img and system.img and the rest to put in the modified mix and match of boot.img from previous versions.
[General Questions and Answers] cracktech:
REMARKS!!

When you put in the SuperSU in the respective position correctly , you do not have to install SuperSU init or daemon files anymore it will just work like that. the su daemon is only required when we want to install it on a CWM or TWRP recoveries devices.

God bless!!
[General Questions and Answers] datagr:
I managed to modify the ramdisk-uboot.img (that's the RAM disk of our ROM) and I changed the ro.secure=1 to 0!

[General Questions and Answers] renard01:
Hi,

thank you for your ongoing efforts!

my findings with the new ROM are similar to ilyadan: The speed decreases tremendeously. Antutu @13 or 14k. Other programms (my chessprogramm Droidfish) only 40% of the speed. It seems as if the 4 A15 cores are not used, only the 4 A7s... This solves stability problems and overheating... but it comes at a price.

GPS is much more stable, that's good.

However I bought an Exynos 5410 not 4xA7...

[General Questions and Answers] ilyadan:
Installed the rooted ROM. I did like the installation screen, if you changed the writing could you change the "wait some minutes" to something correct as "Please wait, it will take few minutes." I less liked the red "Rooted" writing on the logo. Most important is that it works! Full good working root. The original kernel is a big disappointment, it has almost no settings.

I tried to backup my apps with Helium, it didn't work for me. Now with root backup is much easier.

What I'm saying is: Thank you very much for rooting this tablet!
