Can I flash your latest Omnirom 0515 directly over the 0416 version of Omnirom, or should I still clean flash?

EDIT: I dirty flashed it, and all seems well. Even the WIFI is remembering passwords, for now at least.

Dave,

After sticking to Carbon 0326 forever because it worked by far the best for my 4 Seros, I installed 0515 Omni on them as it appears to work great as well. 24 hours later I'm realizing that I have no sound whatsoever, and DSP Manager will open but when I try to play something in say, Apollo, I get a DSP Manager has closed error. I full wiped and cleaned every one of them before the install, and 3 are running TWRP and one Philz and doesn't seem to make any difference. Any chance you know an easy fix?

Thanks for your great work.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] lexridge:
I ran into the sound problem too. When I would play music in Power Amp, it would play at triple speed, but only silence came from the speakers. It's like the sample rate is messed up.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] davepmer:
I know I had sound, could play music in apollo, and dsp manager and blue tooth all worked when I tested it before I posted it. Only thing that did not work was Netflix, and that just crashed with no error given.

I will be trying a new build of Omnirom soon. Was hoping that something would update in the omnirom source code to fix Netflix as Netflix works in cyanogenmod, and had been working in Omnirom
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] vettejock99:

Still running stock. I have been looking for sometime to install a ROM as stock is a little laggy... Looking for something reliable and fast... What would you suggest? Omni, dopa...?
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] lexridge:
That is not an easy question to answer. I would suggest trying all that interests you, until you find one you like. I tried many, not all, and settled so far on Omni. But you may or may not have wifi password remembering issues. I don't, but the developer does.

I assume you are already rooted with a recovery installed?
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] nathan951:
I just rooted a few min ago and installed omni.

After reboot it forgot my password.

It looks like my charger for some reason can not keep up with use. Loosing 1% ever 5 mins

And I noticed the screen got really dark when testing video playback.

ROM is snappier that stock, but I am OCed
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] jerbear294:
Try AOSP. It's not the most customizable ROM in the world, but it is extremely stable.

As for the battery problem: Omni was lying. When you do a factory reset and flash a new ROM, you are also deleting the device's battery calibration logs. Give Android time and these logs will be rebuilt.

AOSP 4.4.3.x

For those who like the bleeding edge, I've posted a build of AOSP that's current as of Friday afternoon. Google's latest code uses the ART runtime exclusively and imposes new SELinux policies that severely restrict what rooted apps can do (disabled in this build). For details see AOSP 4.4.3.x-v0

Attention Builders: it looks like getting SE policies correct is going to be a major challenge in newer builds. If you run into problems, you may want to check my GitHub repos for possible solutions. I also found that many failures could be fixed by correcting the updater-script used to install the ROM. I've added the latest version to my vendor repo under ota here
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] lexridge:
Nice work dolorespark! What Google is doing with SELinux I think is a bit on the extreme side. Before too long, we may not be able to have full root at all without a full custom kernel and ROM, as long as our devices are not locked down. Soon, even with root, the /system partition will not be accessible via root.

I fear that Android may soon get replaced by something else, at least for us guys that love to root and ROM our devices. Perhaps FireFox OS or Ubuntu Mobile will take over....but this certainly SUCKS!
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] paratwa53:
It seems like they want to lock it down the same way Apple does. And since I will not own an Apple device because of that, I guess Android will go on my never own again list.

[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] lexridge:
I don't like it, but I do understand their reasoning. It is all in the name of security. Since Android has such a bad repetition for viruses, which is quite frankly exaggerated. The stockholders are just probably crying about it.

No its not compatible. Idk what they need for sure to make it run on your UK version besides the device and Dev time. Sorry mate ?
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] jachol:
Hi,

The problem here IMO, is that the UK model of the Sero 7 Pro isn't available across the pond, nor is it likely to be, since it is now superceded by

the Sero 8, also for that reason I don't see any UK updates coming from Hisense.

I doubt any dev would want to be working on any model he/she couldn't test personally, what we need is a UK or maybe European dev or devs,

who seem to be very thin on the ground.

To me it looks like UK Owners are stuck with what we already have, we can at least root and install recovery on the device (Thanks to

xboxexpert), so we can add a little personalisation. ... J.

[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] jerbear294:
Ubuntu Touch has not yet been ported to the Sero 7 Pro. I imagine it doesn't use the same trees as AOSP or CyanogenMod so it might be difficult.

EDIT: I'm downloading the Ubuntu Touch source code now. I'll see what I can do. :)

EDIT 2: So, it looks as if Ubuntu Touch might use CyanogenMod trees. If it truly does that makes life easier, much much easier.

EDIT 3: Looks like the Sero meets the minimum requirements for the high end Ubuntu Touch that can dock with a keyboard and mouse. :D

---------- Post added at 03:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:59 AM ----------

Ubuntu does use Cyanogenmod source code, but cm-10.1 or cm-10.2 with dalvik removed. FYI the sero 7 pro oem was the same android build as cm-10.1

also ubuntu has a image that just flashes on top of android 4.2.1 but from bootloader.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] jerbear294:
You are correct about that. [MENTION=282573]davepmer[/MENTION] how would one install those?

EDIT: Looks like you need a Ubuntu desktop to flash Ubuntu Touch via a program called ubuntu-device-flash

I just got a crazy idea: Ubuntu Touch + bluetooth keyboard/mouse + Micro USB external HDD = portable Android building workstation? :cool:

Somehow we'd just have to find out how to build Android on ARM architecture. I know that there's OpenJDK 1.7 for ARM but I don't know how well that would work for portable development, nor do I know if OpenJDK 1.6 is for ARM. I don't know if the other dependencies are universal or for ARM either.

(offtopic) Am I the only one who can't wait for the Sero 8 to hit the US market? The screen ain't the best but the performance is better.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Gazoo119:
If only they would have put in a Tegra 4 processor and upped the resolution to 1080p.... then I would jump on it....lol

They could have upped the ram...1 gig is kinda old. Based on the specs we have, I don't know how much better the performance is going to be than our oc'ed Sero 7's. I read that the Rockchip RK3188T is 1.4ghz and has a Mali-400 GPU. I don't think its going to be for me simply because it isn't a big enough upgrade to justify the cost. I will have to wait and see how much it out performs what we have now.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] jerbear294:
Good point there, but keep in mind the goals of Hisense tablets- their goal is to get as good of a price to performance ratio they can get without sacrificing too much. I agree the processor doesn't have much against an OC Tegra 3 but we can OC that Rockchip to match its big brother in terms of clock speed (and possibly performance)
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] davepmer:
Now you know why I stopped. Even if I got Ubuntu touch up on my sero 7 pro it still would not be easy to get it on another and be really hard for anyone use to just flashing a zip file
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] foltz61:
I'm out of town and can't test myself but, is the Sero7 able to use fastboot? They showed a method in the docs. I haven't used fastboot in a while so it'd take me a bit to figure it out again.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] jerbear294:
Yes, Sero 7 supports fastboot. Just press volume up + power from a powered down state. AFAIK this is how we install Ubuntu Touch right?
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] foltz61:
I am by far no developer but, I don't see what flashing the system.img alone via fastboot would hurt. Probably won't work but, worth a shot. Someone smarter than me should chime un on flashing boot.img. I definitely wouldn't flash the recovery. Actually someone smarter than me should chime in on all of this :).
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] jerbear294:
The problem with Fastboot is that it doesn't check to see if the IMG file provided will actually work, unlike clockworkmod. Get any file in the .img format and Fastboot will flash it. If you're trying to flash a new bootloader, you can potentially be in HUGE trouble if you accidentally flash the wrong thing. Flashing Ubuntu Touch still has its risks but they're not as severe as potentially bootloader bricking.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] davepmer:
Very dangerous to flash any IMG that was not built for

The sero 7 pro. Fastboot does not pay close attention

To image size and could over write the next partition. Also

during a boot if the wrong partition information is used inside the flashed IMG file partitions could be overwote as well.

Ubuntu touch somehow flashes a ubuntu touch IMG over an android image. Ubuntu touch needs a lot of the android image, but does not use dalvik or art.

edubuntu touch ?

i know there is a ubuntu touch but what about edubuntu touch it would be nice if there was a tablet style rom based on education it would be a good rom for kids tablets
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] jerbear294:
It's not out yet. I assume when Android tablets get more popular for education purposes, Edubuntu will skin Ubuntu Touch for their purposes, but it doesn't help that to install, the school board would have to void the tablets' warranties. Then there's the problem of the variety of devices. Edubuntu can only skin it for a few devices. The only ones the school board could get are 2012/2013 Nexus devices, they might be cheap but they're more powerful than needed for a virtual textbook.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] joeylikesubuntu:
good idea ?

it might be easier to mod a android rom then trying to install edubuntu or ubuntu touch just put all educational related software on the rom and it should be good to go and on a side note devs should make more educational software instead of everything being aimed on entertainment then tablets would be much more popular for places like schools or collages and it may help people with learning disorders and with the power of skype your teacher can contact you directly to give you assistance put it on PS3s and other game systems and i believe it would help mankind evolve into a smarter race
