[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] coudu:
New images to play with!

Here are some new images I've built for our devices:

KLD2_KitKat_800x480_141110_rooted_light_reparted_v2:

rooted:

- ClockworkMod's Superuser apk, su binary and root daemon (root daemon needed on 4.3+ roms)

reparted: (seems popular these days ;))

- system reduced from 768MB to 512MB

- oem reduced from 128MB to 64MB

- data increased from 1GB to 3GB

- internal sd in now a bit less than 4GB

removed apks:

- Gmail2 (available on Play Store)

- Maps (available on Play Store)

- GoogleSearch (available on Play Store)

- VoiceSearch (included in GoogleSearch on Play Store)

- Talkback (available on Play Store)

- Chinese and Japanese Keyboards (also removed their libs that are now useless)

- Navgear (just a stupid shortcut to the selected nav app in settings...)

updated/added apks:

- Google Play Store (updated to latest version)

- Google Play Services (updated to latest version with libs correctly installed so no more Google Play Services errors!)

- Browser bookmarks sync adapter (added)

modded:

- added compatibility symlinks for storage mount points (it may fix issues with apps using hard-coded path to access sdcards and usb, if not it won't hurt anywway!)

- flash_image binary by Androtab, with dump_image and erase image symlinks to flash/erase/dump full partitions (dump_image return an error at the end but you can ignore it, dump is valid)

IT WILL WIPE YOUR DATA AND INTERNAL SD so backup first!

KLD_KitKat_1024x600_141030_rooted_light_reparted_v2

Same as above but for 1024x600 units.

Please note that this one is untested as I don't own such a device but it's modded the same way so it should work flawlessly.

As Google makes different Google Play Services apks for different dpi settings and this device uses a weird dpi setting I updated it with the same dpi setting as the old one that was in the original image. If ever you have Google Play Services errors with this 1024x600 image, report it and I'll guide you to find wich is the one for your device and I'll release an updated image.

Updated TWRP image

This is an updated Team Win Recovery Project image based on 2.7.0.0 by Abdul from freaktabs (most credits goes to him! :o)

Updated fstab to new KK part scheme (was mounting kpanic and oem instead of system and internal sd)

updated kernel, modules and config files (full SElinux support)

Still no touchscreen :( you have to use a mouse. I've spent days trying to make touchscreen work but no luck, I'm starting to think that touchscreen is handled by mcu which then emulates a touch device or some weird things like that...

This should work on 1024x600 device, if you try it and it does not fit the entire screen, report it and i'll post a specific version with an adapted scaling value.

Download latest versions HERE

If you are already on a KK firmware I'll post how to flash back and forth TWRP and default recovery with flash_image binary to backup DATA, flash update, and restore DATA, so you don't have to reinstall and reconfigure your device :D

It's available on russian Gdrive: Here

Will be rooted and modded soon :cool:

edit:

seems to be for 1024x600 device (regarding dpi setting) but we should be able to make an hybrid firmware for 800x480
