How is the battery life?

Does the WiFi shut off like it should?
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] boonesmi:
does it just fix the wifi mac? or does it also do the bluetooth address?

both my wifi mac and bluetooth were random. daves rom fixed both, but thinking of going back to R11 rom if this fixes both.

---------- Post added at 02:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:16 AM ----------

if it works and has the same result as dave's then yeah it fixes wifi so you can turn it on and off at will (including airplane mode)

as for battery, both the r11 and daves rom seem to have good battery life for me. i get about 8-10 hours with screen on and doing mild things. i have wifi enabled on sleep, and overnight (about 10 hours) my battery drops about 3%

*note about my battery results. i do have most settings for low battery use, ie, "locations" is set for battery saver. which i think basically means gps isn't used. i also have the max cpu speed set at 1.3ghz (i know a lot of people leave it defaulted overclocked at 1.5ghz)
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] nathan951:
Do you leave your WiFi on and it sleeps properly? Or to get a 3% drop u need to shut WiFi off over night?

Its horrible but what incentive do they have?
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] KaiNaeco:
This seems like an awesome rom. I just have a question. I recently mistakenly bought a Sero 7 "lite" not the pro. The only differences seem to be that there is no back camera or bluetooth. Has anyone used the lite version to install any custom roms. Does anyone think this ROM will brick the device install a ROM that is used for the "PRO" version?
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] ALD3:
It will brick the Lt, I have both and they do not have the same hardware! Pro is quad core, 8gig and Lt is duel core, 4gig and that is just for starters. Check the Sero Lt forum as they have a working cwm recovery now.

OP updated
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Unjustified Dev:
What's the issue with camera? Do you have a logcat?

Or someone get a logcat last logcat I seen the module wasn't even loading.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Kaepernick:
Pretty sure it's a kernel issue. The stock camera won't load, period. None of the other camera apps work either. One almost crashed the device. Basically, until Hisense decides to release the kernel source (or at least releases 4.4 officially at some point), I don't know if we'll get it working.

Really liking this rom so far. Keep up the great work, randomblame.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Unjustified Dev:
Actually that's not true that kernel has nothing to do with it as much as it failing. Android can't directly access the kernel that's why we have camera blobs. The blobs interact with the kernel and I guess report to the system. It's the system itself not interacting with the camera module

http://source.android.com/devices/camera/camera.html

I have read this lots of times. I don't have this tab just sharing knowledge. it was my second choice. I went with the tab 3 for simple reasons. Of course not for performance
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Kaepernick:
Interesting. Looks like a good read. I just remember a similar issue with an older device and custom 4.1+ roms. The only camera that wouldn't work was stock though. Camera ICS and Camera Zoom FX worked. Anything jb and up would crash. Chalked it up to the kernel. The thing was originally a 2.3 device.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Unjustified Dev:
It has to be something as simple as a symbol or something crashing it . There are other tegra devices who had lower android versions and don't have issues. I am just waiting on a logcat to help
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] boonesmi:
yeah about 3 or 4 % most nights.

and yes thats with wifi enabled (although with the new fix its probably safe to set wifi to turn off while sleeping)

and yes again, it sleeps just fine.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] nathan951:
Thanks, will be installing next week. ;)
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] dolorespark:
I really don't know because I don't have a WiFi problem and I've never even turned on my Bluetooth. I pursued the WiFi fix solely because one of the DoPa ROM users raised the issue and I said I'd look into it. Nobody ever mentioned BT, so I remained blissfully ignorant of any problems with it :)

[a few moments pass...]

OK, I just turned it on, and the number that shows in System Status as my "Bluetooth address" in no way matches the number that appears on the kernel commandline as my Bluetooth MAC address. Should it? What are the implications of a random BT MAC address? Do devices that have previously been paired not recognize each other when they meet again?
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] davepmer:
Yes it should, it is normally about 1 below the wifi but thats not a given. It wont set bt correctly because somehow randomblames kernel breaks SLAB. In both stock and our builds there is a service that sets the bt mac address, but it needs SLAB to work. I dont think the bt mac address is a problem with the stock kernel. I know it is not with my kernel
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] davepmer:
Anyone have any idea on what to try to get either the audio to switch to usb or bluetooth or DRM?
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] boonesmi:
im pretty sure that bluetooth worked with the r11 build, even though each reboot i would get a random/fake address (i don't remember for sure, but i think mine started something like 22 22 24.

once i started using daves build i noticed i had a the bluetooth address that was found in the bck.bin (just one number below the wifi mac)

i only have 1 bluetooth device and i rarely use it (its an obdii scanner to check for error codes on our cars just before the yearly emissions test) maybe i should pull it out and make sure its working for me.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] tomkatt:
I'm not a dev, but maybe look at how other ROMs handle it? I have a Cubietruck and my wife had an ASUS tablet, both had manual options in the settings to choose audio channel manually if it didn't switch on its own.

In the case of the S7P, it doesn't have an HDMI menu or audio switching options that I know of, so maybe see how those other ones work, then set it up where the 3.5 jack has priority when connected, but if nothing plugged into it and HDMI is on, switch to HDMI audio?

Sorry, as I said, I'm not a dev, and have no idea where to look for that in the code, but hopefully that makes sense. I do find it odd the S7P doesn't have a HDMI.ko file, and wonder if the lack of that and associated files may be causing the HDMI and HDMI audio issues people have had. It almost seems to have been an afterthought on Hisense's part.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] C64assembly:
Try an app called SoundAbout. There is a free trial on app store. With it you can force the Audio stream if this rom is having detection issues. This app will switch to Bluetooth audio and HDMI. I couldn't test because i dont have hdmi cable or bluetoo th headset. Let us know if it is sucessful.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] davepmer:
Well I too have an asus, a tf300t. But have not noticed the menus in it either. What asus does she have? I thought cubietruck was a developer type board?

---------- Post added at 07:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:39 PM ----------

Well I tried SoundAbout and it ha no effect, Once BT a2dp is sensed the audio crashes.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] tomkatt:
Cubietruck is a developer board. I'm running Android 4.2.1 on it and using it as a media PC for movies and music.

The ASUS is a MemoPad FHD10, but unfortunately I don't have it anymore to check out the settings (we traded it out, as an iPad is more functional for her purposes as a student). I'm certain it was not a stock ROM, it was custom ASUS, and not rootable to my knowledge. On the ASUS, the menu was only available when it was actually connected to an external display.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Talon65442:
I have a quick side question about BT.

Is there a H/W limitation on our S7Ps that they only run A2DP and don't seem to connect with any HandsFree Profile (HFP), or is it more a matter of something that was never put into the kernel or BT stack?

I'm wondering because I just got a Sony SBH50 Stereo Bluetooth® Headset and thought I might try to video-chat with a buddy but, all I can do is connect to media audio over BT (A2DP) and use the media controls (AVRCP).

Same issue with an old Motorola HT820.

It would be nice to just set it on a stand and sit a few feet back and just use the headset instead of leaning toward the mic or have to hold the thing.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] MrSimmonsSr:
Interestingly question. I had assumed it wouldn't be supported on any device that wasn't a phone, but having your headset work for Skype or Google Voice or even some kind of team gaming chat app would be pretty cool!
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Talon65442:
Yeah, I recently found out that Cyanogenmod 7 on my NOOKColor DOES connect to my HT820 using A2DP and HFP when I was checking the BT range for possibly using a KB with it.

Not that it's very useful there beyond 2 feet away since it has no antenna (Barnes & Noble never activated the BT portion of the shared Wi-Fi/BT chip).

Thinking maybe, just maybe it could be S/W enabled on our S7Ps.

[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] davepmer:

[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] ad720:
Thanks for the response Dave, I appreciate you taking the time.

I think that maybe we should turn some pressure on Hisense for the promised "Fall 2013" 4.3 Rom. The community push got the kernel released, maybe we can do the same with that.

I installed TaktiK yesterday with the "current" kernal. In general, things are fine. I have two issues I wanted to ask about -

1. Auto Brightness is really dark. Can that be tuned? I remember a PA or AOSP (I think) feature that let me enter my own values for each of the steps in auto brighness.

2. I use the tablet to read heavily. I have always used Documents to Go's word tool to read. On XBox and Dopa, this worked fine. I have all my docs (.docx) in 12 pt. Calibri. On Taktik, the font is screwy - it is "hollow", i.e., outlines around white space on each letter. I tried switching to Times Roman and Arial, and the same problem, although it changes the letter shapes for the new font, they are still outlines.

Any suggestions? Thanks for all your hard work, I really appreciate it.
