[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] dolorespark:
I haven't tried Dave's build but I have tested f2fs on a new AOSP build I just released (see below). Antutu shows a 35-50% improvement in file-access performance - but honestly, I think those numbers are bogus. My (possibly flawed) understanding of f2fs is that the benefits come later on when you've filled the disk and have been deleting and rewriting files for months without a format. It's not exactly like "disk fragmentation" in Windows but the result is the same: dog-slow disk access. f2fs should help remedy the problem and may extend the life of your flash drive.

One of the problems I saw with other developers' ROMs is that you get locked into whatever disk formatting scheme they chose: all partitions are f2fs, only data is f2fs, etc. I didn't like that, so I developed a solution that lets the user decide: any of the 3 main partitions (/data, /cache, and /system) can use either ext4 or f2fs, and can be switched at-will without having to install a different version of the ROM. As far as I know, this is the only ROM for any device that's so flexible. To support it, I've also built a copy of the latest version of PhilZ Touch Recovery. It's generic enough that it can be used with any Kitkat ROM, regardless of whether you need f2fs support. If you're interested in the ROM or a copy of PhilZ Touch, see this post: Sero7Pro AOSP Beta v2.5.

Full disclosure: Philz is based on CWM which is based on CM - and I don't build CM. Consequently, I had to crib 4 files from Dave's build of Philz that my build system either didn't create or messed up: adbd, e2fsck, mke2fs, and tune2fs. I plan to update my setup so the final release will be all "original", but meanwhile, I want to thank Dave for "loaning" me those files.

ive used both the latest aosp and the omnirom (also the cm, but not the newest stable version of cm)

at this point they all seem very stable.. although using a "nightly" version might be a bit risky.

as far as aosp vs omni vs cm. i probably like omni the best, with aosp a close second

basically all you need to do is:

1. install one of the new recoveries that supports the latest roms

2. boot into the recovery and install the rom you want

3. while in recovery also install your preferred version of gapps

**edit to add**

im not implying those are the only 3 good roms, just the only 3 ive used

Based upon your recommendation, I installed DoPa v2.51 by dolorespark. It runs fine, but I'm confused on two points. As background, I have stock 4.4.2 running on our two Galaxy S3's. Under Settings we have tabs labeled Connection, My device, Accounts, and More. This does not exist on DoPa v2.51. I'm wondering why not? The reason I upgraded to 4.4.x was to maintain compatibility between our phones and tablet. Is there another ROM that's closer to 4.4.x stock? Also, I can't figure out how to make the camera save to extsdcard like I can with 4.4.2 on the Galaxy S3's. I did install MX Camera from the Play Store which offers that option.

The S3s may be stock, but Samsung's OS is not pure stock Android by any means. What you are describing is probably an exclusive TouchWiz feature that only Samsungs would have. This would not be the same in AOSP Android.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] ProperNoun:
It absolutely is a Touchwiz 'feature.' The reorganized settings annoyed the [blarg] out of me on my Note II.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] dolorespark:
As others have noted, a Samsung ROM bears little resemblance to an AOSP (i.e. generic) ROM. Samsung modifies and customizes almost everything - and AFAIK, all their mods are proprietary. Nobody else's ROM is going to look like theirs. Some features have been replicated in add-ons (usually as Xposed modules) but reworking the Settings app is unlikely to be among them.

I don't own a Samsung device so I can't identify the equivalent options for those you specified, but it's highly likely that nearly every one is there under a different name or category (note that the ability to use the device as a TV remote is conspicuously absent since the Sero7 doesn't have an IR diode).

As to saving pictures to the external SD card, that

is

a nice feature. Google chose not to implement that in both their stock and Google-enhanced camera apps - probably because Google/Nexus devices (or at least their tablets) don't have an external SD card. While I personally would find it useful, it's not something I'm likely to implement.

The stated goal of this ROM is to extend core functionality that has to be built in (e.g. filesystem support) and to leave the user free to choose whatever features s/he may want from among the hundreds of thousands of available apps and add-ons. Frankly, this reflects my own reaction to the Android custom ROM scene: what someone else considers a super-cool, must-have feature is nothing but a PITA to me. I don't want some developer imposing his tastes on me; instead give me a plain-jane ROM and let ME decide what's cool. It may require a little more legwork on the part of the user to get it set up just-so, but I think the end result is far more satisfying.

Sero 7 Dead

Hi All,

This morning I noticed my Sero 7 Pro was not on, and upon trying to turn it on, it would not. It has been next to my bed for the past several weeks being used as a backup alarm clock.

I removed the back and tested the battery. The battery is reading 3.59 volts, so I don't think that is the problem. However, there is a very small battery in the corner that resembles a watch or hearing aid battery. These kinds of batteries are usually of the 1.5 volt variety, so I would assume this one is too. It is reading 0 volts. Any idea what this small "watch" battery could be used for, and could its being dead keep the tablet from booting?

When I plug it into my Linux box, it does register this:

idVendor=0955, idProduct=7330

Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0

Product: APX

Manufacturer: NVIDIA Corp.

But that is it. I cannot even ADB into it.

Thanks,
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] dolorespark:
Uh-oh! I had my real-time clock reset to zero the other day, so I suspect I'm about to travel down the path you're on.

Batteries like that power the RTC and I'd

guess

whatever chip monitors the power button. After all, pushing a momentary-contact switch like the power button wouldn't do anything unless it triggered an always-on circuit to start the power-up sequence. The S7P has either a TI TPS80031 or 32 multifunction power chip with RTC and "Configurable Power-Up and Power-Down Sequences", so I'd guess that's what the battery powers.

If you can identify the correct battery, please post any info you find. Many of us may soon have the same problem. (I'm about to release my Lollipop ROM and it will probably slow further development a bit if I can't turn the thing on. :) )
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] lexridge:
I have to stand corrected. In my tests, by temporarily soldering a AAA 1.5 volt battery to the leads (while not de-soldering the existing "battery", I discovered it was not a battery at all, but it was the vibrator button. Now, I am wondering where the RTC battery might actually be. Maybe it doesn't have one, in which case my problems are probably more serious than originally thought.

My MeMO Pad ME176CX is amazing. It's got a locked bootloader and thus no custom ROMs but it is getting Lollipop soon and ASUS is starting to crack under the locked bootloader pressure. You can't really beat it for the price of the Sero when it first came out: $150, but right now it's $130 at Amazon.

Rooting it was even easier than on the Sero. Just install an APK, run it and reboot.

Root is pretty much necessary for it as memory management is horrible with the bloatware. Titanium Backup (frozen apps), Amplify (wake lock blocker) , Greenify (self-explanatory) , and RAM Booster (alternative memory management) combined does the trick nicely.

I just received it today. Wow, very nice tablet indeed. Speedy!

I already found that link and have it rooted. Thank you. Next, I would like to find some kind of custom recovery for it. However, with that being said, I guess without any custom ROMs because of the locked bootloader, the only thing a custom recovery would be good for would be nandroid backups, which would still be very useful to have.

Just to keep things on topic, I will certainly miss my S7P. I got a lot of great use from that tablet. I am probably one of the few that will especially miss the NFC. I actually used that frequently with my Galaxy phones. Shame the ME572 doesn't have it. :(
