Hi all

Sorry guys, but there wont be no sub-forum for this device.

Since the Tab is equiped with an Mediatek SoC, and Mediatek doesn't comply with with GPL.

So as per XDA rules, non-GPL means no sub-forum.

Welcome to the Mediatek Club. :/

Also about KitKat, all Mediatek devices are currently "stuck" on JB 4.2.2.

Mediatek talked on their Twitter page they are working on KitKat, but only for the new 6582/6592 SoC's and the newer.(At least for now, only these SoC's will have an OS update)

B.Regards

Did anyone manage to hide the menu bar ?

I have the root access and I tried 3 different applications like "full!screen" and they all freeze the system when I want to hide the menu bar, then the only choice is hard reset.

I really hate the manu bar, that google made. So terrible waste of pixels, especially in landscape mode.

Anyway after using it one week it seems really nice tablet. I have no drain on standby, battery is great as expected, system is stable for now, everything works quite fast for my needs ( I switched from nexus 7 2013) and the build quality is ok.

There's an update 0059-131219 available, at least for my Wi-Fi Version.

It's 48MB and still Android 4.2.2. Can't apply it currently because the check of my build.prop fails where I've changed the dpi value.

So I can't tell whether there's any visible change. I've to see if I made a backup of the original file or maybe could somebody upload the unmodified file for me? :)

EDIT #1

Would this be the correct way?

- Download B6000_A422_000_059_131219_WW_WIFI

- Download SP Flash Tool v3.1328.0.183

- Download usb_driver_MT65xx_Android_ZTE_v821

- Install SP Flash Tool and the USB drivers

- Connect the Yoga in which mode?! Install the drivers and flash the rom

Or will be there a working exploit in the near future? The flashing method seems not to be easy as expected ;)
