WARNING: These files are reported as not working on Next8HD8G tablets manufactured after August 2013. Check your serial number. If it begins YFG1013... YFG1113... or higher, do not use these files. You may try to root using Cydia Impactor instead. If you do root one of the newer tablets, please dump the ROM for the rest of us!​

Nextbook 8"​

The Nextbook 8 is an afordable 99USD tablet from walmart. Widelly adapted but not with any serious unofficial development going on. I purchased one for a friend and couldn't resist to tweak it. I tried to find some ROMs to no avail. Also rooting was a long journey. So I decided to create this resource thread to help out people to this device and even present my own ROM. So without further to do I begin :) :​

Rooting & Recovery the Easy way​

Rooting was my first concern so I could de-bloat the tablet itself since it came with various unused software. The most efficient method I came across was the one presented by shaunmt at the freaktab forums here. So let me show you how it's done.

1. Download the modified stock recovery from shaunmt

2. Extract the archive and place the image in the root of your external SD card! NOT THE INTERNAL ONE!

3. Download and copy the root package by Kyser to your external SD card!

4. Power off the tablet and then hold down both volume keys while holding the power button. The tablet should show the first splash screen and then a black one followed by the recovery screen.

5. Use the Volume keys to navigate in the menu and the power button to confirm your selection. Select flash from EXT (or something like that), then select your SD card and then select the root package to install. The root package will be installed. Navigate back to the root mneu and select "reboot system"

6. Rooting should have finished and your tablet once powered on should be permanently rooted. But in the case that you don't see a root management application go to the Play Store and download either SuperSU or Super User.

7. Finished! :D

ROMs :) ​

1. Stock ROM - Packed by shaunmt at freaktab - here

2. nextGen 8" - By CedArctic - Comming soon​

Always perform a full wipe when installing ROMs. Neither of these ROMs has been personally tested by me. Shaunmt from freaktab owns all the work on the thread (except my ROM).

i did every step and installation was aborted...:( any tips?
[Android Software Development] CedArctic:
You don't have the custom recovery file in your EXTERNAL sd card. The stock recovery aborts the installation due to not recognising the google installation keys.
[Android Software Development] jdog1989:
How would I go about dumping the ROM so we can make recovery and a custom ROM. Mine is the newer one. Rooted and debloated

thanks for the help in advance..
[Android Software Development] Luvkraft:
Same here

I picked one up for either modding or dismantling it to see if I could build it. So the root thing is new to me, I have been spending a few days reading over you guys tuts and suggestions. I came across this one and it seemed fairly simple, take the downloads, extract to SD and recovery reboot? However it has not worked. If I push both volumes I get small yellow script at top saying DNX Fastboot mode, if I do the volume up button with power, I get the options of REBOOT, RECOVERY,POWER OFF, and I believe one other one. Either way I seem to hit a wall. I'm have no doubt it's me, but I would a appreciate a lil advice.

Thank you

NX008HD8G, Firmware? Root?

Hey Guys! I was wondering if maybe there was another link to the files? Has anyone figured out how to update the firmware on the NX008HD8G? I’m having trouble trying to root and I’m unable to find anything on how to at least update the firmware to 4.4.2. I’ve been having trouble with google play services, and could use either the stock rom or maybe a custom. Please help! Hopefully someone sees this! :)

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] iunlock:
Security wise...from a haunting perspective pretty slim because Google logs everything. With those logs, they are there forever. +Who else has their hands in the cookie jar to grab whatever info they want?

In industries where people deal with high profile clients or heck even in the financial sector where information is vital, it wouldn't feel very secure knowing that your communication is being logged...

Therefore, what other more secure options are available for having a (mask) number, sms and online vm feature?

The main thing is, to all the fellow Note 3 users, do you trust GV?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] catchjeff:
Been using the feature for years without an issue.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] flipq88:
I only use my Google voice number to text and call when I sell on Craigslist, and i give that number to hoes I don't want having my real number.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] johnpro112:
I've been using Google Voice for years. I believe in Google's security. I'm not doing anything suspicious, so I have nothing to hide.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Anthony820:
Yes. Unlike phone companies. They don't log ****.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] catchjeff:
What's nice is that you have the same phone number for life and no need to worry about porting phone numbers from one carrier to another. Plus its free. Only issue is the voicemail sucks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] iunlock:
LOL classic response... :highfive:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] iunlock:
Very true..I've been using GV just for that reason...I've changed my number 3 times in the past 2 years...but kept the same GV.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jaejudah:
Between using GV for ages since before Google bought it & the service was known as GrandCentral. I've trusted it completely & have no issues.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] V@no:
You concern about privacy in a Google product, while using Google phone and Google OS...seriously? Google don't need you to use GVoice they already know everything about you.

Unfortunately I've heard a rumor that Google Voice is being discontinued in a near future...Hope it's not true.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] iunlock:
The rumor is that they might start charging for the service. -And seriously I think you're missing the point of the question.

I also have used GV for several years, one of the nicest features I use it for is when I'm at home and someone calls me on my mobile, I hit ignore and it transfers it to my Land line. Very cool. Been using it for over five years!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] MedicStuder:
I use Google voice for my work calls, texts and voicemails. This way only the people I want to have my personal number get that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] noobtoob:
That rumor was also heard last year, and the year before. Not saying it won't happen, but I quit caring.

I use Google voice with an obihai. Works great. You can still forward and answer from cell and all that, but I haven't paid for a land line in years. All you do is sign in from work if you want to use it elsewhere.

As far as security goes, you are subject to being monitored whenever you are suspected of wrong doing, no matter which carrier you choose. And for that matter, VoIP is what all the major carriers use now anyways.

If you are strictly speaking from a standpoint of being spammed and site recommendations based on growing history, etc... Than you can just create a generic Google account and assign the number to that one, while still enjoying the other Google account (this is what I did to keep my g voice and personal phone separate).

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] FalconGrey:
Re: ActiveSync Problem - has anybody tried?

Only solution I have found is a soft reset of the device. After a while I've found that this too is not enough and a re-install of active sync as well as a hard reset has to be done with the MDA...

From apearance, (IMHO) it seems Microsoft has a glitch in Active sync and have been trying to fix this since Active Sync 4.0....

Aditional note, I've been having problems with syncing anything in Outlook Calander from the computer to the MDA. I can sync the new entries from the MDA to the computer....

Anyone else having these issues or the slow down issues "WITHOUT" microshaft outlook installed? (not outlook express, outlook)

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Hero188:
I tried to upload the gapps on the offical beanstalk page for my htc one x evita. Without the gapps my phone wont use google play and has issues using wifi. The gapps provided when i install them, seems to make the "wizzard" stop working. It wont even let me into the desktop of the phone SO being that said... does anybody know where the correct gapps for the 4.4.200 for a htc one x evita?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Gapps aren't specific to any device, so there isn't a specific set just for our phone, they're generic. Try using the Banks 4.4.2 gapps, if you Google those their Android File Host page is one of the first results.

PS. Questions go in the q&a section, please make sure you post the right place in future.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Hero188:
Ok, So i found the gapps hopefully they wont mess up my current beanstalk build... Google play is not installed on beanstalk i think it may have to do with the gapps not being on their. Hopefully i can get that to work.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
The reason you don't have Google Play is because it's contained in the gapps package, so you will have Google Play once you've installed gapps.

It had been a long time issue with the android not able to receive group messages even with group message setting enabled (only send to multiple recipients and to receive under multiple threads).

I migrated from DanDroid 4.1.2 to Sutan ROM 4.3 and I was able to send & to receive group messages from multiple people under ONE thread. I had been tried to find a method for group messaging under 1 threads, but it wasn't very successful.

I really don't like third party apps as much either. What are you experience with group messaging with the new 4.3 update?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] IXChicharitoXI:
I use the stockmod ROM(November build) and it works just fine.

Although if you use Tablet Talk, some of your texts will come out blank(not all, some) when you send a message through a tablet. It was flawless on AOSP but it is what it is.

If you don't use Tablet Talk, disregard the 2nd part.

Try an Xposed Module called Gravity Box, make sure you install the correct one, whether you are using CM10.2 or CM11 (JB or KK), you need to have Xposed Framework also installed, just do a search for Xposed, read and feel enlightened.

Well for me and my work mates the Voices folder on the root of you device is the correct way. Maybe the tomtom/tomtom thing works as well, either way - I hope this helps.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Accessories] kschang:
Just received this afternoon (before Christmas, yeah!)

This is the "Bear Motion Premium Folio Leather Case with Detachable Keyboard" Purchased at $21.99 (Amazon Link) (Wait, they just sold out?)

The box is a very plain white box with orange highlights that bears (no pun intended) no brand name, just "Bluetooth Keyboard case" (for Kindle Fire HDX7)

Strangely, my box appears to have been opened, and the microUSB cable was left stuffed on top of the flap, but the device appears to be untouched. (Maybe it's for testing? Bear Motion claims they test every device)

Instructions (a tiny CD-jewelcase insert sized brochure) states that you should leave it charging for a couple hours. Their USB cord is a bit short, so I used my Kindle microUSB cable for charging.

The keyboard is just attached via magnet to the case, and is detachable, pretty firmly. I separated it to charge while I studied the case.

The case itself is made of "leather" and has a nice "foamy" backing that makes it somewhat spongy. I was momentarily flummoxed by how to insert my HDX, then I realized I have to open the hook-and-loop flap, slide the thing in from the bottom, then try to fit the flap back in to secure the HDX.

The case has nice big openings for the volume and the power button, as well as rear holes for the stereo speakers. It has a "jackstand" that pops out, but it does not have multiple angles. However, it appears to have metal backing instead of plastic that can break.

I inspected for broken stitches and such and cannot detect any at a cursory inspection.

Keyboard... looks quite generic. It is a basic keyboard, really squished together to fit on a 7 inch platform. I am a touch typist (85WPM) and I cannot touch type on that keyboard at all. None of the keys are in their proper positions, but then you don't really expect to touch type on this, do you? This is for the two-finger typists who need to enter more than usual text but don't want to touch the screen. I suspect those with the 8.9 inch version of this may have more luck. They also have versions for various Samsung devices and iPads.

Key feel is "meh". Tiny keys, tiny travel. Can't swear to durability as I've had it for less than 24 hours. Pairing per instructions is painless. Turn on Bluetooth and sync, turn keyboard on, and hit sync on keyboard... Tap, enter a code supplied by HDX, and voila, I am paired.

This is not a laptop replacement nor is it meant to be. It's a convenience keyboard that can help you enter more text than onscreen keyboard while you're on the go. If you want a BETTER Bluetooth keyboard, and don't care about the case, well, go buy a Microsoft Mobile Sculpt KB for $23.40. If you want to carry your keyboard with you... this is not a bad choice.

Flashed stock US again and wiped data this time round, the device still identifies as xt1032 instead of the required falcon_umts :(

No, UK GSM XT1032 with Stock Retail Rom. What to see if it can be forced onto non-US XT1032. Changing device name from 'falcon_retgb' to 'falcon_retuglb' using Android Model Changer makes no difference.

EDIT: Forgot to change build number.

Since the OTA is a patch rather than a full firmware, I doubt forcing it onto another base would work (UK and US do not behave entirely the same, even after initial boot up!)...
