What is the charger cable attached to? Is it plugged into the hub which then connects to the tablet? Or, are you using a Y-cable that connects both the hub and charger to the tablet? Also, am I correct that this is an unpowered hub? I'd like to know what works for you because the person who originally requested the feature was having problems using a hub.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] taba4real:
The charger cable is attached to the USB hub with micro USB as a plug and not a regular USB hub for PC which can be connected to the tablet through the micro USB port. The USB hub also have the regular USB keyboard and regular USB mouse attached to it. The hub is unpowered. The only thing i can say different is the USB cable i used, with male to male USB cable attached to my sero pro charger was that it had a thing in one of the end, like a protector of some sort..... I have been advised that using a regular not protected usb cable will just break... image below, i am talking about the roung thing in the cable...
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] jerbear294:
Okay, I'm getting a weird bug in 4.4.2 dopa- my Bluetooth won't turn off. A logcat states I don't have permission, says I'm not a user with the privelage to do that... But I'm the only user on my tablet (unless the NSA backdoored it)
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] jerbear294:
[MENTION=5094650]dolorespark[/MENTION] Do you have a kernel that supports NTFS read/write? I'm trying to get Kali Linux on my external SD that I formatted to NTFS but Android doesn't recognize it without a mounting program.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] dolorespark:
That's an RF choke to suppress the radio frequency interference that a USB cable can produce - by rights, all USB cables should have one.

That's odd. Can you post an excerpt from the logcat that shows the error?

'fraid not. I'll have to look into cribbing whatever CM uses.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] taba4real:
So did this help you resolve original requestor's issue with this setup?
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] jerbear294:
Thanks for trying! I'm using a mounting program right now but it doesn't mount to storage/sdcard1, so I have to go into every single one of my FolderMounts and manually change the directory... It's tedious at best.

Sure thing. I'll post an excerpt when Kali's done installing on my SD card (probably an hour tops, the bulk of it's creating a 7 gigabyte .img file)

EDIT: Posting the logcat now.

EDIT 2: Strange, the logcat didn't leave anything. However, I am getting this message constantly:

ContextImpl: Calling a method in the system process without a qualified user: android.app.ContextImpl.bindService:1543 android.bluetooth.BluetoothHeadset.doBind:283 android.bluetooth.BluetoothHeadset.<init>:276 android.bluetooth.BluetoothAdapter.getProfileProxy:1181 android.media.AudioService.getBluetoothHeadset:2245

This isn't just happening with my Bluetooth headset either. The logcat says this for anything that has to do for Bluetooth. Typically symptoms occur after I plug the Sero into the stock charger and turn on Bluetooth. Then I pair my Bluetooth controller, and I can't turn off Bluetooth after that- it says "Turning Bluetooth off" then comes back on. The same thing happens with WiFi, but in reverse- I can't get WiFi back on after plugging my Sero into the stock charger.

Been playing around with 5/31, stuff related to web pages seems to hang a lot with the latest (3 days ago) gapps, AOSP browser hangs just by opening as it loads the google front page, chrome is fine, google search hangs when I switch from the default "Web" to "News". GPS just doesn't seem to work, even when web assisted.

Other than those minor (to me) issues 4.4.3 is working great.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Gazoo119:
GPS worked for me but I had to take the tablet outside. It took about 20 seconds to lock. Inside it didn't work at all until after I went outside.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] ALD3:
So I installed the beanstalk ROM for the Sero 7 Pro and didn't like it. So I restored my cwm backup of DoPo v1.1 and now on every boot, I have 12 android apps updating. Every boot or reboot. Wondering if I can stop this without a complete restore.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] XjokiX7:
I don't expect this to happen but on my old galaxy tab we put aosb and my gosh. Made the tablet feel new! Really smooth and quick. Was wondering if anyone could do a small port for it? :p
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] dolorespark:
Sorry to take so long to reply. I restored DoPa 1.1 and tried plugging in my charger, then activating BT: no problem turning it off. However, I did experience this with a later build of 4.4.3.x. It looks like the problem was caused by a crash in some BT-related process at startup. Apparently, there was no longer anything "on the other side" that could do the job of actually turning it off. Perhaps that's what the error message means. You may want to look at the beginning of the logcat (and possibly, a dmesg log) for some error/crash.

I wouldn't expect much of that build - it's more of a "technology preview" than anything usable. I've just finished building 4.4.3_r1.1 which is the last official release that uses Dalvik. If it seems usable, I'll release it as DoPa v2.0 then try 4.4.3.x again (which may be 4.5 or even 5.0 when done).

[Edit] Late-breaking news: 4.4.4_r1 was just released. If it still uses Dalvik, I may use that for the next DoPa release.

Try going into CWM and clearing cache and dalvik-cache so that it has to "update" everything. First, though, make sure you still have some free space on your /data partition. Checking free space on your "internal SD card" will give you the answer since it and the /data partition are really the same thing.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] ALD3:
Internal is 79% free, as I use link2sd. Had 12 of 136 android updating on every boot. In cwm, I wiped cashe and dalvik-cashe, now I have 6 android updating every boot. Only time I've seen this before was on another device when there were odex and deodex files??? I originally just restored my cwm backup and after the 12 updating every boot, I flashed standard 4.4.3 gapps.

Think that I will not worry about this small thing and just wait for DoPa v2.0 4.4.4, then start from scratch. ?

That is pretty much normal for the tablet stock even from my experience.

New Version

As you may have guessed from this thread's new title, I've just posted a new version of this ROM: AOSP v4.4.4.

There were a lot of code changes going from 4.4.2 to 4.4.3 but just a few in the transition to 4.4.4. Whether they result in a better user experience remains to be seen, but if you're a newer-is-better sort, you may want to upgrade. Be aware that a problem-free upgrade requires a full wipe - you can try skipping that step but it's AYOR.

Note: I've also posted new standalone versions of the kernel (both standard and overclocked) that include OTG charging support. If you'd like to stick with AOSP 4.4.2 but want this new feature, feel free to install one of them - both are fully compatible with 4.4.2.

See the OP for details and links.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] chopin_k:
Thanks, I must ask if it's more stable than the last 4.4.3 (example: AOSP browser would freeze just by loading google.com and google search too when switching to news search), sorry to have to ask, it's just that I'm not the only user.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] jerbear294:
I would assume so. The 4.4.3 build was experimental AFAIK
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] nccruz:
I have installed 444 with oc and it has been very nice and fast. Only once fit the sero 7 just all if a sudden turned off and had to reboot but I say that the experience so far us very good.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] dolorespark:
I had hoped it was clear that 4.4.3.x was very experimental - really just an early alpha of what is now being called "Android L". This version (4.4.4) was released in March & is on most Google Nexus products. The code was only open-sourced a week or two ago, whence the delay in getting a build out. I tested all the usual stuff (Bluetooth, GPS, etc) to ensure it worked properly but I haven't used it extensively.

Hmmmm... did you happen to be using Google Music at the time? It's a known problem. Or, did you upgrade without wiping the tablet?
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] nccruz:
I did not do 443,,,,and I have not used the browser since I come from Chrome,,,

also have not used google music but have used Spotify since I do not carry too much music in my storage space.... but will try both goigle music and browser and report back...

UPDATE

browser seems okay.... sorry but do not have google music installed... or is the standard music player google music?
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] ccristal:
Loving the 4.4.4 build so far. The WiFi password bug seems to have gone for good. The only issue I have with it is that the auto brightness setting in low light is too dim.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] chopin_k:
Yup I got that, it's just that the versioning isn't helping a lot with it. Installing :)
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] vettejock99:
Dang it

I've run this ROM before, but over the last couple of months I'd strayed to testing Omni and Carbon. Saw this up today and clean flashed the full ROM and the Nexus spoof, and Banks Gapps. Boots great, just a FC on BT sharing for some reason....but it doesn't see my sdcard now. Any suggestions?
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] dolorespark:
Every time I've installed 4.4.4, Bluetooth Sharing has FC'ed on the initial boot due to a timing issue. Once it happens, the system restarts the service, and (so far) I've never had another problem with BT in the initial session or on any subsequent boot-up. The only BT device I use is a speaker and it works great.

As to the SDCard, I've never seen that disappear (I assume you're referring to the external). Have you checked in Settings->Storage to see if the card is recognized as present? If it is but you're not seeing music or pictures stored on the card in the corresponding apps, then it may be a failure in the 'Media Scanner' service which can take a while & is flaky sometimes. When it doubt, you can always try the old "Windows Miracle Cure": turn it off, then restart.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] vettejock99:
Regarding the FC, I'm sure you're right - I don't recall seeing it any more. Speaks to the quality of the ROM. Great work. I looked at storage and it says the SD card is damaged. It's the same one I used to install the ROM though, and it checks fine in my PC, and my other Sero's running Omni and CM11 still see it just fine so I'm guessing.....maybe your kernel doesn't support exFAT? If that's true, is there any way to convince you to add that? I can use Xposed for just about any other tweak, and I love the simple core philosophy, but exFAT has just been better for me and my 64GB card than FAT32 or NTFS were. I can use it in TWRP and Omni/CM11 whereas with NTFS I can't and I run into file size issues on FAT32. Thanks in advance for your time.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Gazoo119:
Other than the FC on BT sharing which I only saw once....the rom is working perfectly for me so far with one exception. I can not get more than one screen to show. The only screen I have is the home screen. Even when I press and hold on the screen, I only have one screen to add widgets to.. I can't slide a widget from the home screen in either direction to make a new screen. Am I overlooking something?

I know I had two screens after I installed the rom and I removed all the icons from the second screen to make way for the widgets I wanted to add there. That's when the "problem" started. Can someone help me or should I reinstall the rom and see what happens. Thanks.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] MotorHeadCG:
So far I'm loving this ROM, running the OC kernel. Only saw the the BT FC once. Loving the open space on the device as I haven't had to send apps to the SD card yet.

*edit* got home and I'm not having any problem adding other screens.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] mando41:
Thanks for the 4.4.4 ROM so far its been working rock solid. No issues at all. Also Google Now voice activation is working perfectly.:good:
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Gazoo119:
I found that installing the latest standard gapps was causing the screen problem. So I installed the latest Min. gapps and the problem went away. I am curious if anyone has the same problem adding screens installing the latest gapps which the date is 6/29 and the version is 4.4.4?
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] ALD3:
Been running 4.4.4 DoPa v2.0 for 2 days and it is very smooth and quick. Had Bluetooth sharing f/c at boot but after updating Google framework, I've had no more trouble with it. I know I haven't been on it very long but I think it will be the best ROM for Sero 7 Pro at this time. Thank you for your work on this device.

I'm using the 6\29 standard 4.4.4 gapps no issue...
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Gazoo119:

[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] dolorespark:
I do hope you meant "kitkat" rather than "tiktak" :)

Thanks, but ..umm.. no thanks. I see that Google updated it yesterday (July 1). Listed under 'What's new' was " Other bug fixes and crash fixes". With any luck this new release will resolve the issue.

Done. I've added exFAT and NTFS support, and I'm about to test them. Here's hoping...

Will you be doing anything with L preview source.

---------- Post added at 01:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:47 PM ----------

Does this have HDMI working? Does it have the same WiFi forgetting bug? If so/not then count me in!
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] dolorespark:
There is no "source", per se, that I know of. There are ROMs that work on Qualcom-based Nexus devices and extensive documentation including diifs showing changes in the Java code. However, none of the C/C++ code you'd need to modify to make it compatible with any other device is available.

I have the impression that Randomblame tried to replace the preview's incompatible binaries with those from the Sero7Pro to create a hybrid. It appears that his (initial?) attempts failed. In any case, doing so is a violation of the preview's license agreement - and redistributing the result even more so.

I fixed HDMI months ago. That fix (and a bunch of my other patches) appears to have been picked by everyone else building for the Sero7Pro, so all current ROMs should have functional HDMI and Bluetooth audio. The WiFi password problem was a CM issue, so this ROM and its predecessors never had it.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] cammykool:

[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] farlz:
Was on davepmr's cm11, went into recovery and did full wipe, installed this, the overclock kernel and minimal gapps, but stuck on "ANDROID" splash screen. Waited 10 minutes, rebooted, same thing. Retired the whole process a few times but no luck :(
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] dolorespark:
I'd try it a step at a time: just the ROM, nothing else, reboot and confirm it comes up. If that works, try the OC kernel. Finally, GApps - and be sure the package you're using is intended for 4.4.4. Also, when I do a "full wipe", I go into Mounts and storage and select 'format /cache', then 'format /data and /data/media'. Last time I looked, selecting just 'format /data' didn't actually format anything, it just erased all the files and directories.

Stock suggestions: have you tried downloading the file again, using a different SD card, not doing a sideload if that's what you're using?

Is that any

Sero7Pro

4.4 ROM or does it happen on other devices too? If it's device-specific, post a logcat and/or a dmesg log and I'll look at it -

whether it's something I can resolve is another story.

When I started testing using NTFS I encountered SELinux (security) problems. That took a while to fix, then I moved onto exFAT and found I was missing the piece that enables it to identify exFAT disks. I got that in place and it all seems to work but I still have to go back and ensure my security fixes are appropriate. I work weekends (and holidays), so it may still be a few days.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] young0ne:
Yes its on any 4.4 rom made for sero7 pro not every device Ill get those logs for you.

Maybe you can help

I had rooted my device just fine., I went to install AOSP 4.4.4 got errors, I thought no big deal. But I cant restore or try a different rom, because I cant Mount the external card.I boot into CWM 6.032 and it shows all kind of options.Install zip from sdcard, external sdcard. but when I try to install rom "can't mount /external_sd. I have formatted the card through my 4.4 android phone, downloaded new roms copied to sd card thru my phone, installed sd card in tablet booted into recovery, and get same message, tried my other sd card from my phone and it wont mount that either. So I am stuck with the Hisense logo and that's it. Any thoughts or advise would be great. Just need to install stock rom (which I have, or any rom really) I followed the instruction for wiping data and cache.as instructed. Darrell

:(
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] dolorespark:
As you've learned, those errors were a big deal because CWM 6.032 is not capable of installing a KitKat (4.4.x) ROM and will leave you soft-bricked. I wouldn't have thought that the problem mounting your external SD card was related but I responded to a similar problem last week. Here's a slightly modified version of my answer:

You need an updated version of CWM. Go to this thread where there are links to most Sero 7 Pro ROMS. In the 3rd post, davepmer has made a bunch of replacement recoveries available. Get one of the Philz-touch versions (an enhanced CWM) and try to flash that from your existing CWM, then reboot back into recovery. If successful, you should be able to flash any of the ROMs listed in that thread.

If that fails, no problem: you can use Fastboot mode (I assume the rooting package you used includes fastboot.exe). First, force the tablet off and (important) disconnect any USB cable. Next

unzip

your copy of Philz-touch, then enter Fastboot (Vol+ & Power). Now, reconnect your USB cable, and enter this at the command prompt:

fastboot flash recovery C:\ [path to unzipped Philz] \recovery.img​

When it's done, power off, disconnect the USB, then reboot to recovery (Vol- & Power). You should be good to go.

Worked Like Charm

I was able to re flash update to CMW, New rom installed just fine. I think I did figure out the problem of SD not mounting. I was a 64gb SD, and I think it did not like it. When I popped in a 8gb SD it was able to be mounted and read. Great tablet save! Thanks again.

Update: NTFS and exFAT support

I've posted updates to add support for SD cards formatted using NTFS and exFAT.

The source code was taken from CM11 and didn't involve any changes to the kernel. However, I did have to update files contained in the boot.img (which also contains the kernel), so I've posted two versions: standard and overclocked.

sero7pro-winfs-dopa1-v2.0.zip - support + standard kernel

sero7pro-winfs-dopa1oc-v2.0.zip - support + overclocked kernel

Note: If you decide to switch between the two types of kernel, use these packages, not the ones in the O.P. I will update that posting (and possibly repackage everything) once some "user acceptance testing" confirms they're stable.

Afterthought: this was built for 4.4.4 but might work with 4.4.2 - there haven't been many change in the parts of the code I modified. Of course, it's at your own risk. If it doesn't work, you'd have to reinstall 4.4.2 (but without having to wipe anything).
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] ObviousMan:
Thank you, [MENTION=5094650]dolorespark[/MENTION], 4.4.4 works great, so far. I have not been able to get GPS lock at all, but during the both tries I had not have time to wait more than 5 minutes. Searching for GPS before the lock seems to contribute to battery drain quite a bit.
