I understand. Is it 5.1 or Marshmallow 6.0 ?

Still looking for a stable release :)
[Windows 8 General] buzz86us:
What is currently the most stable Android option? Hoping for maybe touch/pen, but I'll take what I can get.. I am not a fan of how windows does standby that IMO is where android shines
[Windows 8 General] KamaL:
I also tested it, and as [MENTION=4056517]HypoTurtle[/MENTION] mentioned, Touch screen didn't work, and I think the wireless card isn't working.

Also willing to know which version I should install
[Windows 8 General] HypoTurtle:
I'm using the RemixOS build posted by [MENTION=1505355]abao2k[/MENTION] ; it's also missing the touchscreen workaround from Wootever quoted below - the other things mentioned I believe are all kernel related so should be the same in all versions - barring the rotation as mentioned before (not sure why that is - probably a system-side issue; maybe the same one that was causing the reverse rotaion - is anyone can point out the file(s) in question I can try them with remix.)

Stylus works with all ROM with Wootever's kernel, checked a couple apps and pressure sensitivity seems to be working fine.

[MENTION=1505355]abao2k[/MENTION] I like it with the text small but you can change the dpi in build.prop (two entries) from 160 to 240 or whatever to make it larger.

The touchscreen fix needs added to /system/etc/init.sh in the init_misc function.

Someone has tested this 'special gummiboot bootloader for tablets' in the cube i7?

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/android-x86/mrZpVtL18WM?
[Windows 8 General] HypoTurtle:
As is, it doesn't support NTFS and the volume buttons don't work. I might try and fix the buttons tomorrow.
[Windows 8 General] KamaL:
Eventually I decided to try the first release from Wootever (4.4), including update 2.

I must say it's working really well, and it's super fast. Touchscreen and wifi are working very good.

The main issues are high power consumption, much more than Windows 10 for now, and lots of crashes while playing streaming videos. I tried various video players, like VLC, MXPLAYER, but even videos on Facebook cause crashes.

I'll be waiting for more updates from Wootever :)

How do I increase the available storage for Android? Should I create a new partition for Android?

For now I extracted the files to the main ssd partition ( C: ), and booted through BIOS using EFI. I didn't create any new partition.

Possible to change windows 7 64 bit?

Thank you
[Windows 8 General] aalwani:
Hi guys, I have few questions:

1- can you make continuum work when docking undocking the keyboard?

2- is anyone having problems displaying notifications on the lockscreen? It seems erratic

3- sometimes when I press the button and it sleeps, it doesn't wake up anymore, I have to press the power and hard reboot it. Does anyone have this issue? It seems happening around once per 2 days or so.

Thanks!
[Windows 8 General] tprata:
Hey guys,

Ok this tablet is just perfect with an external keyboard. Forget about docking, usb hub with direct micro usb connection, and plug and play when needed.

Now I do have another problem, with the wacom stylus. 1st, i get inconsistent movement, as in depending on the place in the screen the crosshair can be directly benneath the tip, or 5mm to the side. Tried calibration, didn't help.

2nd, useless palm rejection. Everytime I try to use the pen I have to undo 4/5 actions made by my hand

Any help/tip?
[Windows 8 General] baxtex:
Just had a small heart atack. Flashed latest bios and the device didn't want to boot, after a while I got it going though.

Sadly palm rejection does not work at all, it makes the pen quite useless I'm afraid. Don't know if it's beacuse of Wacom drivers or Windows 10 though.

Re: Debrick tablet. BIOS/Firmware backup

Hello All..

I've just performed a firmware backup using a Raspberry Pi on my Cube i7 Stylus. I prefer to take a "full chip" backup before making any firmware changes. This "belt & braces" approach has saved my bacon on numerous occasions!

I had to disconnect the battery in order to get a consistant, valid chip read. I always take two images and binary compare them (or compare checksums) to ensure that I have an accurate image.

For the CH341A programmer (and similar) it's easier to connect the chip to the pin headers on the programmer.

SPI Chip-------- CH341A Pin header.

Pin No.

1----------------CS

2----------------MISO

3 (WP)-------- +3.3

4----------------GND

5----------------MOSI

6----------------CLK

7 (Hold)------ +3.3

8 (Vcc)------- +3.3

I would also recommend the Pomona 5250 test clip (8 pin SOIC test clip).

This works perfectly with the (slightly) lower profile SPI flashchips. Some cheaper clips require "adjustment".

Bodge99.

[Windows 8 General] daniele.93:
[MENTION=6868513]Boid-man[/MENTION] how is going the stylus?
[Windows 8 General] HypoTurtle:
Just an update in this -- it looks like I'd have to download a sizable part of intel's android-ia just to compile this unless I mistaken think that was just my inexperience compiling *.efi's shing through- it might be simplier trying to get systemd-boot (gummiboot's new name since it was integrated into systemd) - and see if the keycode stuff can be added in there. I have tried prebuild systemd-boot and although it runs after a single keypress it stalls...

At the moment I'm using the gummiboot method mentioned with a few alterations as mentioned below along with a schema of how this is running:

Startup screen is a gummiboot menu with menu entries loaded from loader/entries/*.conf files and there is a /loader/loader.conf file where you can set the default loadout.

The *.conf files point to a seperate grub2.efi file (they could point to and .efi); present in /efi/grub/* folders along with their respective grub.cfgs - these efi's I believe are taken from fedora as they are; by default, setup to load the grub.cfg that is present with in their own folder (i.e. the location isn't hardcoded).

These efi's though don't have ntfs support so for the time being I replaced these efi's with prebuilt fedora ones so that ntfs support could be added... (I take it I can compile grub2 from ubuntu and set a custom directory - but this would require a different grub2 for each folder/entry; or is there a way to get it to use pwd).

Anyway in short each gummiboot entry redirects to it's own grub2.efi each of which had it's own grub.cfg with a single entry.

So with the current setup gummiboot doesn't support ntfs and hardware buttons do not work... if you want to try it anyway I have attached my current efi partition - I have it running on a small 16MB FAT16 partion that suddenly appeared before the C: drive (C: probably shifted I guess when I resized it).
[Windows 8 General] murpf:
what about refind as a boot manager? i haven't had a thorough look, but i guess its a gummiboot fork with gui. it has support for all necessary filesystems (you shouldn't need ntfs to load it, since its efi resides in a fat partition before that...). If this could work, we would only need the hardware buttons...

[Windows 8 General] skippie17700:
Is there any other way to do a clean install than with the USB stick, as this isn't working on my tablet, i can't get to boot onto the USB stick, bought a brand new 3.0 USB stick but no go..

[Windows 8 General] Boid-man:
Wootever pointed out unused USB pins on the 'motherboard' wayyyyyyy back, so thats a possible 5v power source. But honestly, after the modded updates, even without the copper heatsink mod, and with a case on, mine stays within exceptible temps. Most likely because I don't game on it.

---------- Post added at 04:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:06 PM ----------

this pen is soooo much better than the $20 knockoff i got last time. I recommend it.

For the ones using window 10 and having trouble with palm rejection, be sure to check the settings in the microsoft pen control panel. mine was set to left hand at default, works flawlessly after setting it to right hand mode.

hope it helps!

3,9 RAM

I have win 10 pro updated with latest modded bios flashed and the driver pack installed, everything works perfectly (thanks [MENTION=4709667]Wootever[/MENTION]) but I have seen in the task manager that it says 4 Gb RAM in the performance - memory section but, in small letters, under the 4 Gb RAM it says Memory usage 3,9 Gb RAM and on the left side it says Memory 2,1/3,9 54% This means I have damaged RAM or is it normal? Can be solved?
[Windows 8 General] HypoTurtle:
If it's the 3.9Gb number you are concern about I believe the extra .1GB is the system reserved RAM (81.7MB in my case); you can have a look at resource manager to see if any faults are reported but I'm sure there isn't an issue. If it's the RAM use that's the issue browsers like chrome/firefox can be big RAM drain, also bear in mind that cached memory will take a sizable chunk but isn't really an issue - that will increase/shrink as needed - the memory is there to be used after all, I'd say if you had reported RAM usage of 98-100% then you have a problem; otherwise it's fine.

Have tried it and similar results to gummiboot - I think the volume keys will need a driver in the bootloader to work - perhaps compiling with tianocore instead of gnu-efi - will work but not sure; might try and compile the gummiboot again and see.

I could also use some verification from anyone running Android 6.0... Does the wifi fail to come back on after the device tries to sleep?

If so try adding the attached files (essentially just a p2p_supplicant.conf) and see if that fixes it; it seems to have fixed mine.
[Windows 8 General] AlvaroRos:
Thanks. Then in your tablet it says 3,9 Gb too? I was worried because in other PC with win 10 home it says 4Gb not 3'9 anywhere.

Edit: I have seen it says 81,7 MB reserved for hardware in my i7 stylus too so must be just that so I'm not worried now, only I'm curious .
[Windows 8 General] HypoTurtle:
Yea, have a check on the other PC and see how much is hardware reserved, more out of curiosity...

Honestly I'd expect more than 81MB to be hardware reserved -- but I take it this isn't GPU reserved and rather sensor reserved stuff I guess.
[Windows 8 General] StaffanMelin:
I also got this error, but solved it using this advice (sorry, have lost the source):

"It's actually a very simple thing, yet easily-overlooked as a resolution. If you search for "Region" on the desktop, click to open access to those settings, and and once there, click on the "Location" tab, and switch to an English-speaking region, as it may be default-selected as Chinese, which is what it was for me. I would certainly make an attempt at trying your native region as well, just to know for certain, but in my case once I selected "United States", the issue with opening the software completely disappeared for me."

Good luck!

[MENTION=1505355]abao2k[/MENTION]

Do you have a mirror of the Remix OS version apart from the baidu link? I can't seem to be able to download it, and I'm interested in trying it.

Version 4.4 from [MENTION=4709667]Wootever[/MENTION] has excessive battery consumption which limits its use so far.

[MENTION=4056517]HypoTurtle[/MENTION] I just tried the 6.0 version from Wootever, and the power button doesn't work as a sleep button, instead it shows the power off screen button. So I couldn't test the wifi as you asked.

Do you now how I can install Play store and Gapps on it?

Thanks

[Windows 8 General] Boid-man:

[Windows 8 General] HypoTurtle:
Power button ==> sleep issue is known i.e. 6.0 can't enter sleep; what I noticed was that when the screen off time came and the device attempted to enter sleep; after using the tablet again the wifi wouldn't reengage... I believe the p2p_supplicant is the solution to it but could just use verification.

In short unsquash system.sfs (so that it can be mounted rw); e2fsck -f / resize2fs it (will probably need to add ~150MB - although I think loop mounting it will autoresize the img) then mount the system.img (or boot into it and use a root browser) and manually copy over an x86 gapps package and remove /system/priv-app/PackageInstaller. Then optionally resquash the .img to .sfs

[MENTION=4056517]HypoTurtle[/MENTION]

I tried getting it on stand by mode after keeping it turned on for 5 mins, but it keeps waking up after 2-3 seconds without touching the tablet, so there must be some process waking it up. Wifi is still online anyway.

Isn't there an easier way to do it? I'm not familiar with all these linux commands :D

I hope someone can upload it. Is it an EFI folder like Wootever's releases??
[Windows 8 General] HypoTurtle:
Unfortunately not - unless you want to download a gapp'ed system.img/.sfs -- there might be a windows tool to unsquash it; but if you have linux/Ubuntu installed that would be easier.

unsquashfs system.sfs

###run sudo apt-get install squashfs-tools if unsquashfs not found

cd squashfs-root

e2fsck -f system.img

resize2fs system.img $NEW_SIZE_IN_4096_SECTORS

then change system.sfs to system.img in grub.cfg

I have remixOS uploading to here. It'll take a while to fully upload - it's just missing the data.img for the moment.
[Windows 8 General] skippie17700:

[Windows 8 General] HypoTurtle:
Sorry upload must have cutout again... I'll upload a Remix.7z containing system/kernel/ramdisk/initrd/data/grub.cfg/bootx64.efi in a few hours; it should only be about 700MB as opposed to the 2GB system.img.

UPDATE Remix.7z is up; forgot to add a data.ext4, you can make one from Android/Ubuntu with:

dd if=/dev/zero of=data.img bs=1 count=1G for 1GB

mkfs.ext4 data.img
[Windows 8 General] skippie17700:
so it won't work then if we don't make that adjustment ?
[Windows 8 General] KamaL:
I extracted the efi folder on my main windows partition.

I tried to create the data.img file using the android terminal, but I couldn't do it because of read only. Maybe because it isn't an ext4 partition?

Besides, the touchscreen isn't working.
[Windows 8 General] skippie17700:
installed without the adjustment but the touchscreen is not working, any idea how to make it work?

Alot in Chinese, not changeable also
[Windows 8 General] HypoTurtle:
Try this:

su
chmod 777 /etc/init.sh
reboot

Yea I think the default ntfs support in mount is just ro. Pretty sure I could rw when using mount_nfsd_fuse (search xda for it). Building a few data.imgs atm, will 7z and upload...

Also only Chinese I have is the Snappea App Market, unless I'm missing something...
[Windows 8 General] KamaL:
Touchscreen still not working unfortunately. Maybe it has to do with the fact we're running it on an NTFS partition?

I'll wait for the data.img files to use on the NTFS partition.
[Windows 8 General] Thompson111:
Very good question!A want know that too.
[Windows 8 General] skippie17700:
after a reboot the touchscreen works.

Needed to redo settings again.

How do I install Google play ?

I also can't setup my google account.
[Windows 8 General] HypoTurtle:
Touchscreen definitely working for me; it does switch of now and again - like in windows - but the windows key turns it back on.

su
modprobe -r i2c_hid
modprobe i2c_hid

should restore it (Wootevers 'workaround')

1GB and 2GB added.

If you were making these from RemixOS it would be:

Download mount_nfsd_fuse

su
mount -o rw,remount /system
cp mount_nfsd_fuse /system/xbin/mount_nfsd_fuse
chmod 755 /system/xbin/mount_nfsd_fuse
mount -o rw,remount /
mkdir /storage/sda4
mount_nfsd_fuse /dev/block/[COLOR="Blue"]sda4 [/COLOR]/storage/sda4
cd /storage/sda4/efi/remixos
[size=1]followed by[/size]
dd if=/dev/zero of=data.img bs=1 count=1g
mke2fs -t ext4 data.img
y
[size=1]or[/size]
make_ext4fs -l 1G data.img

The above assumes you are using the 4th partition on the harddrive and making a 1GB data.img

[MENTION=919815]skippie17700[/MENTION] I thought google play would be there as it's my system.img so didn't mention it... but have a look here
[Windows 8 General] skippie17700:
can't install because all the settings are gone when i dare to reboot, i have to reinstall everything again so what i did before is all gone after reboot
[Windows 8 General] HypoTurtle:
Are you using a data.img? there's a couple added to gdrive...

Just tested the 2GB one and as you say there is no Play Store even though it's there in system; not sure what that app does to data but it does work - also no need reboot (if you are running without a data.img)

I did notice that with the blank 2GB touchscreen wouldn't work initially (had to modprobe in the end - but that seems to have persisted reboots); so either a modprobe or a few shutdown/restarts are needed when first trying this.

EDIT just confirmed this... If touchscreen/windows button isn't working then shutdown and restart - windows at least seems to not want to release it if you simply reboot between the two.
[Windows 8 General] skippie17700:
got Play Store installed, thanks.

I just can't reboot now or everything is gone again

UPDATE : PLAY STORE is on the desktop but i can't install any apps
[Windows 8 General] ariadnejro:
I'm using the 2 GB image and I see after installing Aptoide and later Titanium Backup that some system apps including Play Store and Play Services are frozen. I can unfreeze them with Titanium Backup what lets me run the Play Store and enter my Google account. But I get an error every time I try to install an app from the Play Store and after a reboot the system apps are frozen again and my Google account is missing. And the touchscreen doesn't work most of the times.

Anyway RemixOS looks really promising. More than 125000 points in Antutu!
