[General Questions and Answers] steve30x:
I think the second biggest flaw with this tablet is the tiny emmc storage. I have to remove a lot of original android apps and move some to internal storage to make space for new apps. If only there was a way to repartition it so that we had a lot more space. I've tried moving the apps that boot up with the OS but when they get moved they no longer load up upon OS bootup. The first flas being the horribly slow CPU. My Galaxy Tab 4 has a 1.2GHz CPU and its a whole lot faster than this thing. Comparing the two it would be hard to believe that the two tablets have a quad core 1.2GHz CPU because this thing is so slow.

@ CXZ : is there a way to mount data_bak in recovery. Flipsy's CWM refuses to mount data_bak and I need to wipe it because after installing your PAD tools rom whenever I install an OS now I am getting some japanese apps installed too even after completely wiping the tablet and installing different ROM's. Also the portable TWRP no longer works with my tablet. It could be because I have the latest official rom installed. I will test again later with an older official rom. When I flash the portable recoveries it doesn't create the *.ko and *.ok files. I'm not sure where to get the files from the rom I am using.
[General Questions and Answers] CXZa:
I have done quite a bit work for re-partitioning these atm7029s before found the PAD modify tool. So, using it just open the "partitions" and change the value.

My tools can be used before or during flashing using PAD Product tool. They can be found from my signature or here also from donation button (for those who

are not member here).

Usually you can just leave that vendor.img unflashed and the Chinese apps are gone. If they are on that data_bak just do the same to it.

I'll have to check that new recovery closer some day... But in the mean time you probably can just use an earlier rec.img, although mixing firmwares

sometimes causes problems. Not big ones if same android versions, but have to do some fine tuning then.
[General Questions and Answers] steve30x:
I've used the PAD modify tool to edit the partition but the partition never resized for me.

I don't use the pad tool to flash OAKP or Cyanogenmod because my efforts to use different roms other than those you posted a link to failed. Every time I try to use a different rom other than what you've linked to I got a blank screen after the Hannspree LOGO. This also happens if I try to install Christian Troys Rom's using the latest official T71 rom (20140515E) as a base for the Christian Troy roms. I can not figure out why the newest rom (20140515E) wont work and the older one (update-FW8963-20131219E) does

Still, they are Actions' "PAD whatever tools". Not mine at all. I don't want to take or get credit from something that I have not done!

(but maybe I should, as it seems to be just okay here, IDK). So, please, leave that "your" word away from Actions' tools for now on...

Thanks for understanding! :good:

Okay, back to business...

I haven't actually tested that partition size thing. It's output should be just some hex values in a bin file. So, I have just assumed it should work...

If not, test the tools I mention in my signature/blog.,,

Yes, PAD product tool doesn't work with CM and such. To make it work you can dump the partitions either by using adb/terminal or just

use the JollyDumper2 package of mine. Extract and read the instructions before using...

And, yes I really have to check that new firmware... ( just for curiosity, not that it would help in any way...)

It's sad that Ainol hasn't released any updates since that 2014-01-04 (yyyy-mm-dd) firmware...

[General Questions and Answers] CXZa:
I tested TWRP portable now using that new stock recovery. For me it worked as expected.... odd.

If you have saved the previously created *.ko and *.ok files, just use them, they are the same.

Otherwise you can use for example 7-zip (i use latest beta) and dig the touch driver from the sn1at71.zip.

sn1at71.zip -> misc.img -> modules -> ctp_gslX680.ko --> rename to TWRP-portable.ko --> copy to sd card

Quick question: I assume the newer firmware is rootable, which method? Or is it possible to tell CWM to block over-writing Recovery, and then just flash SuperSU?

Oh yes, and can this TWRP-portable be installed permanently? What version is it based on?

I've installed a working AOKP 4.2 to my Hannspree Hannspad HSG1279 T71 (Rotation and wifi works perfectly for me) and backed it up in CWM.

If your tablet is already rooted just do a wipe of the tablet and install the newest firmware and it will be rooted. All you have to do is install SuperSU. No TWRP portable won't be permenently installed.

[MENTION=4218632]steve30x[/MENTION] : Oh yes. The portable recoveries testing you did at Slatedroid. Did you also test the permanentizer using a stock recovery as the base?

It's possible that the permanentizer failed for you because not using the stock. That is why I've added "warning" now that they should be used on the stock,

[MENTION=6113156]kevinthefixer[/MENTION] : So IMO it should be possible to permanenetize those portables, but to be sure someone just must do the testing.

Not yet. I will test it within the next few days. I might have time to do so tomorrow.

Anyway I was reading this thread found that the tablet was not boosting to 1.2GHz and was not going above 1.08GHz so I followed the instructions in this post to make the tablet boost to 1.2GHz.

You will need to download the latest Kernel Tuner for it to work. It makes a big difference to the performance of the tablet. What we need now is some way of overclocking the CPU slightly (even 1.3 or 1.4GHz would make a big difference)

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=rs.pedjaapps.kerneltuner&hl=en
[General Questions and Answers] kevinthefixer:
It is TWRP v2.6.3.0 made by Christian Troy

So no way it has support for f2fs. Not a big deal at this point because as far as I know none of the custom ROMs that Steve30x has put together support f2fs either. But I would expect a significant performance increase from that.

It's going to be at least a couple weeks before I can test anything, I must force myself to do my taxes.
[General Questions and Answers] CXZa:
Ah, the old "Kernel Tuner" trick... Have you tested it using 4.22? At some point KT didn't support 4.22 without doing some "hacking".

Because of that I made recovery flashable package called JustBoost. It only enables the same basic Android "feature" that the Kernel Tuner does.

You can find a link for it from my signature/donate button/blog...

Funny that in some threads at Russian 4pda forum this my little zip has another "developer" name. Not because of classical childish stealing. .

No, in this case because some half brain idiot who worships that developer included his name to it when releasing it (without asking of course).
[General Questions and Answers] steve30x:
I always test before I post the info. If it doesn't work I won't post it. It does work with 4.2.2. You have to edit the governer to get the tablet to run at 1.2GHz otherwise it won't go above 1.08GHz. I will have a look at that your flashable package too because for some reason I am having to edit the governer on every boot to get it to work. I also have to reenable all my Xposed modules every boot.
[General Questions and Answers] zephyro5:
It's because we stayed with the 4.2.2 version from 20140218 and this trick wasn't working anymore. But I've just try with the 4.2.2 version from 20140515 and it work again!

Now I'll see how much time? The last time I've set the CPU to 1,2GHz, I had to open the pad 2 days after to reset the camera and G-sensor...
[General Questions and Answers] steve30x:
I've been watching the CPU frequency and it doesn't constantly stay at 1.2GHz. It fluctuates in speed unless the CPU is being pushed. When the CPU is being pushed it sticks to 1.2GHz otherwise it reduces speed so I am sure it will be ok. I am still looking into trying to edit the kernel though. I cant find where the governers and CPU controlling files are.
[General Questions and Answers] zephyro5:
Effectively, the CPU is always in interactive mode and don't stay fixed to 1,2GHz.

But the last time I "overclocked" it, I had to reset it after... Coincidence?

As the 20140218 firmware didn't support this trick, I wonder if Hannspree intentionally fixed the frequency to 1,08GHz to prevent overheat or freezes...
[General Questions and Answers] CXZa:
So,now for you KT works again. Good to know. But as [MENTION=3686865]zephyro5[/MENTION] pointed out, not in older 4.22 firmwares.

That means that in most of the atm7029 tabs it still doesn't work.

In that case, just use JustBoost for all your battery drainage needs... ;)

I don't use it myself but I guess it doesn't really cause much drainage...

If Hannspad's 4.11 is any good, I would go that direction if one wants to use/develop less sluggish firmware.

That 's what I use..., (mainly because of ad hoc though)
[General Questions and Answers] steve30x:
I actually find the newest firmware to be the best. Its a lot less laggy than 4.1.1 thats why I want to add some tweaks to it and flash it with the pad tool. Over the weekend I will try to get it to work , but I am starting to lose interest in doing anything with this tablet.
[General Questions and Answers] CXZa:
That is a good news that the new firmwares are getting better...
[General Questions and Answers] Sparkrite:
Message erased.
[General Questions and Answers] steve30x:
I've flashed your JustBoost but the CPU still doesnt go above 1.08GHz so I still have to edit the governer upon every

bootto get it to go up to 1.2GHz.
[General Questions and Answers] CXZa:
Hmm..... when it works fine it's mine, but when it doesn't just blame that poor Russian... ;)

I really don't know why it doesn't work for you. Maybe that value to be changed is in some other path in that new firmware,

Has it created the /system/etc/install-recovery.sh file? (BTW, do not let the CWM to disable the recovery flash)

[General Questions and Answers] steve30x:
Ok after installing TWRP as the default recovery it fails to install any rom but Christian Troys CyanogenMod and when that installs the rotation is completely wrong and touch is completely wrong even though I have the right drivers in the rom. I can't get any of the official roms to install at all.
[General Questions and Answers] CXZa:
On what you are trying to flash official roms? If over Troy's custom roms then it's usually fails because official roms check ro.product.device and ro.build.product

values before continuing. They should be "gs702a". If not, either edit them or edit updater-script...

>installs the rotation is completely wrong and touch is completely wrong

If you have a stock rom on which you're putting the CM or whatever it should work, although being an experimental tool it might act differently

depending how different the new firmwares are.
[General Questions and Answers] steve30x:
I'm doing it the right way by formatting and wiping the tablet then trying to install a rom but it refuses to cooperate.

Anyway I'm done with tweaking and working with this tablet. I've reached my goal and reached my limit of skill. My goal was to get the tablet to be less laggy and more useable. Its up to those with more skill to work on this now.

I've gotten the tablet to be a good bit more useable with a less lag using the pad tools. I've tweaked the CPU and increase the partition sizes. I tried making the ram run faster but the tablet is very unstable if the ram speed is increased. I've found that the tablet is a lot faster with the ram @ 533MHz compared to the stock 480MHz but the tablet reboots a lot when the ram speed is increased.

Heres the file you need to install the rom (This will replace your recovery to stock recovery). I've increased the SYSTEM partition to 1GB , DATA Partition 3GB (You will have plenty of space for apps and will help with system responsiveness) and 1GB for cache. I've also increased the responsiveness of the tablet by tweaking some CPU parameters. This is the best I can do and its the best I can get from the tablet. I've spent all my spare time in the past three weeks (Except from my two days break) working on this tablet and I can't get anything more out of the tablet.

You will need to download Hannspad_atm7029_hannstar_10.1_1219_420_C.rar from the link CXZa supplied https://mega.co.nz/#F!oUcTEIjZ!18pxM10AAuaoWxmBzdEtmQ

[General Questions and Answers] CXZa:
That's the way Mr. Troy's originals would act also. I thought that the values would have been checked from the system build.prop which would be logical as it's system you're updating.

But they are checked from recovery's values. Thanks for the report, I'll fix it later...done!

Although I wouldn't like to make too many changes to works of others. Therefore I've tried to keep the changes very minimum in both Mr. Troy's TWRP and bnmguy's CWM, so some things might always come up when there is new tablets or users...

In the mean time people can edit that updater-script, remove those couple of first lines

doing the checking from it... custom recoveries can use unsigned zip packages.

edit: It is fixed now, the download link is the same...

http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/107...e-versions-of-custom-recoveries-cwm-and-twrp/

(BTW, you probably meant that they need the PAD product Tool for flashing it, not the modify tool)
[General Questions and Answers] CXZa:
Changed the old one back. It still fails (on some permission defining).

Now I remember some similar problems with Amlogic tablets.

Then it was when creating soft links.

I try one more time using a fresh PAD product tool install,

but if I can't get it work, it's relatively easy to convert

TWRP back to normal. For example by just using zips

from this thread: http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/102857-compatibility-zip-maker-and-cwm-recovery-maker/

(any of my packages that say that "re-flash this again to restore the stock" will do)
[General Questions and Answers] CXZa:
Okay, tested using both CWM and TWRP. always doing a fresh PAD product tool flash before.

TWRP still failed to that same permission setting and CWM failed when creating soft links.

So better just use the stock one as the custom recoveries don't understand those update packages...

It's a Actions' product, ATM7029B. So rooting should be easy..

BTW, the method quoted in the first post of this thread is a bit odd.

It contains crap like is: mount -o remount,rw -t rfs /dev/block/st19 /system

What the heck "-t rfs /dev/block/st19" is doing there? It doesn't matter, but

it obviously isn't meant for tablets having Actions' ATM7029 inside.
