Is there any reason why tablet idle and Wi-Fi take up most of my battery? Like 4 times more then the screen does...
[Device Reviews and Information] eteles:
It happened to me before too... I still don't know why... I've installed easy battery saver and powered off the tab and powered it on again, and the problem was gone... Don't know why... After a while, I uninstalled easy battery saver (was dropping my wifi with no config to do so) and the problem did NOT happened again...

Really confusing...
[Device Reviews and Information] zobi123:
I just tried that and it still drains like a percent every 5minutes its idle... :'(

EDIT: it seems to be improving. I will post back after I test this further.

dunno for you guys, but in my case the wifi it's a really pain in the ass, it's goin on and off really often and randomly :\ any suggetion? something to try?

i've a 1.1.0 + twrp + TweakDrypT

maybe the 1.0.9 it's more stable....as i read somewhere in this forum??
[Device Reviews and Information] enr88:
It's a issue/bug specific for V3(differenti chip for WiFi +bluetooth), because with my V1 the WiFi work great with 2.0.1fw

If i remember well v1.0.9 For V3 is bug wifi-free

It's not about V3.

I have same setup and Wi-Fi works great when I am using tablet.

Wi-Fi goes off only during sleeping.

Also for anyone who would like to try Killjoy tweak, don't expect that overclocking and change of governor will work with 4.3 roms.

It works only with Kit Kat.

After two months owning this tablet, I must admit: I will never again buy a no name \ Chinese tablet.

First of all, the cpu runs at 1.6ghz, not @2ghz as advertised.

The available ram is 1.5gb and not 2gb.

Most importantly, the tablet lags so f*cking much. It is impossible to have a smooth experience with it.

If you think that it is ok for everyday use, you are mistaken, or you live in 2009. Everything lags. Freezing very often.

I don't know if it is the software or the hardware's fault. I rooted and removed all Chinese apps but still.

I hope to see a future smooth rom but I don't think there will ever be one. The experience compared with my nexus 4 is zero.

I would buy this again 40 dollars, not a single one more.

My advice to all : give some more money and buy a better tablet.
[Device Reviews and Information] Mattia76:
Afterall on a 1.1.0 4.3, killjoy or TweakDrypT?? have you noticed any real improvement in using those scripts??
[Device Reviews and Information] RASTAVIPER:
Both give some better smoothness, mostly with Killjoy.

Free Ram is not getting any better though. Kit kat is needed for that.

Tweakdrypt Installation Instructions added

If You still wanna try to install TweakDrypT, here are instructions ([URL="http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2630242"]direct article and instructions about TweakDrypT is here[/URL]):

1. As our tablets dont have init.d support we need install it (mine is v3 and with Rozaks v1.1.0). You can easly do it in two ways:

Flash via TWRP [URL="http://www.mediafire.com/download/t63a1w6un5duarr/kernel_loader.zip"]kernel_loader.zip[/URL] OR could install [URL="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.androguide.universal.init.d"]Universal Init D[/URL] support app from Google Play.

2. After that via TWRP flash (install) these files: [URL="http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2662390&d=1396355847"]TDT_v4.3_stable_binaries_010414.zip[/URL] and [URL="http://www.mediafire.com/download/yq2ul0gf9dca9hf/TDT_4.4%7BSTABLE%7D.zip"]TDT_4.4_stable_.zip[/URL] (Please check out developers page for latest release here)

3. After booting in to Android You will see that there are upgrade process going on. After its complete open Terminal Emulator and write two commands:

su [enter]

scan [enter]

Scan process will start and if at the end is written "TweakDrypT installed correctly" then You are good.

But most probably it will say that "sqlite not found". In that case You must extract by hand libncurses.so and sqlite3 from TDT_v4.3_stable_binaries_010414.zip and copy to Your tablet.

Here is copy-cat from TweakDrypT:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE 4 ONLY APPLIES WHO HAS PROBLEM WITH SQLITE NOT FOUND
TEMPORARY FIX FOR SQLITE BINARY NOT FOUND PROBLEM

First check for [/system/lib/libncurses.so][/system/xbin/sqlite3] files after flashing TDTbinaries zip
1) if found then no need to worry about just check its permission (every thing will be okay) !!!
2) if not found then EXTRACT the TDTbinaries zip and open binbox folder
copy paste the [TDT_v4.3_stable_binaries_010414\binbox\X.X._\lib\l ibncurses.so] file to [system\lib\libncurses.so] lib directory
copy paste the [TDT_v4.3_stable_binaries_010414\binbox\X.X._\xbin\ sqlite3] file to [system\xbin\sqlite3] xbin directory
replace the X.X._ with your android version
3) then flash this [URL="http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2665763&d=1391108314"]zip Attachment[/URL] for fixing permissions
thats all
please follow these options only if you have a sqlite binaries not found problem
others can discard this

To[B][U] activate the Tweadrypt tweaks[/U][/B], open again a Terminal window and run:
su +enter)
TDT (in capitals) +enter

Then select which tweaks to activate.

To[B][U] unistall the tweak[/U][/B], just run at terminal the command:
uninstall
and follow the steps on screen.

So yeah last night and today i read almost all posts in this topic.

I purchased this tablet 6 weeks ago from Geekbuying and I received it last week.

So I've been playing around with this tablet for a week.

It is a very good tablet! Removed the chinese apps as soon it came in the mail :P

But now my little question. Is there any progress in the development of an custom rom for this tablet?
[Device Reviews and Information] Scorp84:
It is really a pitty that there is no smooth ROM for this Tab. Regarding the specs I thought it would be smooth enough but it seems that especially the Ram is not enough for the high res display.

Gesendet von meinem Nexus 4 mit Tapatalk
[Device Reviews and Information] RASTAVIPER:
The ram has nothing to do without the display.

Display is only affecting battery life.

Bad ram management is a matter of the OS and how the firmware of each device is designed to run.

In our devices official firmware is really bad and that's why we need all these tweaks and custom roms.

[Device Reviews and Information] Scorp84:
I don't agree in all of your points. Higher resolution means more RAM occupied by the GPU. We only have ~1,5 GB usable RAM. I would hope that there is a way to dramatically boost the performance of the device but I've lost hope. At the beginning Onda released new roms in short periods of time. Now it seems that they're satisfied with the 1.1.0 version
[Device Reviews and Information] Xperia-Ray:
+1!

High resolution means bigger .png's in every app resources!

You can check what takes the most file size in app's- Hint- >it's not the code :).
[Device Reviews and Information] RASTAVIPER:
But you can see that it's all about bad ram management by the OS.

Many people who have installed Kit Kat roms confirm a much better ram handling and more free ram available.

[Device Reviews and Information] StridAst:

I am using beta 2 KK rom and it is a mess. A lot of bugs and extreme battery drain in standby. And really far away from being fast.

Hence the need for a stable kk ROM :). Not going to hold my breath waiting on that.

As for source code, I've seen a couple posts claiming its released, but I've not noticed anyone confirm that what was released really is the source code we need. So either I've not seen the confirmation post, (quite possible). Or nobody who has looked at it is skilled enough to really do anything with it. (Also possible). Or anyone who has looked into it, and is skilled enough, has not had the time to do anything with it. Either way, I don't expect any CM11 etc. ports in the near future.

It's just a launcher. Install Nova Apex or whatever launcher you like and you're good to go. You can also root the tab and get rid off the Chinese apps including the launcher.

Hmmm. How does one uninstall killjoy to give this a try? I could just reflash rozaks v1.1.0 I suppose and clear it out that way, but it seems a bit overkill. Sorry for the noobish question, but this is the first time I've installed scripts.

Thanks

And I wouldn't install something with no way to uninstall. I did make a backup with TWRP first after all. It just seems to be overkill to reflash the entire ROM to uninstall. :). Was looking for the easier way.

so I'm thinking of buying this one.

searched through the thread am still wondering:

after seeing some reviews of this tablet, in all of them, it seems the device is really almost unresponsive to touch.

it seems the sensitivity is really bad, and that the device really has a hard time registering touch.

the reviewers just have to touch multiple times (and strongly too) for the device to register the touch.

do you guys share this experience, or is it fine and you don't know what I'm talking about?

My tablet had a very unresponsive touchscreen. I was able to modify the build.prop file and improve it quite a bit. Like EVERYTHING else with this tablet, the problem is software, not hardware.

I used the instructions from here. http://androidplayworld.blogspot.com/2013/11/how-to-increase-touch-screen.html?m=1

As of now I am running rozaks 2.0.1 on v3 hardware, using deep sleep battery saver, with pure performance x and killjoy scripts installed. I've not yet upgraded to the stable KitKat released yesterday. Its taken weeks of tinkering to get what I would call a usable tablet. If I had to do it all over again with the knowledge I have now, I would get a pipo tablet instead. Properly tweaked though, this tablet is great. So decide if you want to deal with a lot of risky updates and fixes. If the answer is no, then buy a different tablet. If the answer is yes, then get this one. Its problems are getting work arounds.

Currently working on implementing AROMA installer, so everyone can install what they want during flashing. (And possibly merging v1 and v3 into one zip file, so everyone always has the same rom and modifications, but that will take some time)

Small question- so now after the official KitKat update- can you confirm that all the Bugs/Lags/HD video/in site video clips playback problems are sorted out?

If so this tablet now become the best tablet you can buy for 170$.

I have just ordered the FNF iFive mini 3GS with MTK6592 so maybe I will order the V975M too if the FW problem are fixed.

Is it worth to give up on gravitybox (at least for now) and use ART instead of Dalvik?

Is it working much better than Dalvik on this new 4.4 ROM?

I was going to suggest, making full backup with TWRP, wipe data, cache and Dalvik and flashing update.zip, but I'm not sure If update.zip flashes the necessary kernel for it to work properly and if this would overwrite your custom recovery with the stock one, in case you get bootloop and have to restore your backup...

How to install TWRP recovery on our tab? Thanks
[Device Reviews and Information] RASTAVIPER:
It's in previous posts,

But let me copy it again

TWRP flashing instructions:

1. With Root Explorer from Your tablet go at root /system and move (or delete) to other location file: "recovery-from-boot.p"

2. From Google Play Store install Rashr - Flash Tool (formely known as Recovery Tools)

3. In application Rashr choose "Flash Recovery"

4. And choose (of corse unpack) SciBees recovery.img. https://www.dropbox.com/s/o6o8839qjcpr34s/recoveryV1.img

Thats it. If You change Your mind - You can flash back to old recovery (before flashing dont forget to make backup or just choose recovery.img that comes with firmware update).

[Device Reviews and Information] Frightened Rat:
The short side of the tablet is a little shorter than on an ipad, and the port placement is different, so the hard shell types of cover are no good.

I use a leather-like ipad case where you slide the tablet into a surrounding frame rather than clicking it into place - that way the slight difference in dimensions doesn't matter. However I had to cut a hole for the charging port. The camera cut out is about in the right place.
