can we implant this mini wifi adapter inside our teblet?? i read previously that there is extra usb inside which is not used and is there space for it?

i want to use it with mac os x as our realtek wifi inside is not compatible with mac

thanks
[Windows 8 General] HypoTurtle:
Yea wifi seems to be unable to be toggled on/off and play store takes up 100% of bandwidth when downloading.

Accelerometer sensor works (use a sensor app) but rotation seems to hardcoded/fixed somewhere.

Battery indicator seems to be an oversight.

Any pics on the Chinese stuff; I must be missing something...

Wacom pen is working for me. I'm using a seperate partition and EasyUEFI instead of Advanced Reboot ==> Use device
[Windows 8 General] skippie17700:
you lost me here : how exactly do I make wacom work? I have to reinstall from within Windows 10?
[Windows 8 General] HypoTurtle:
Not sure why you're wacom isn't working, mine just is... RemixOS is using the same kernel/drivers as 4.4.4/6.0 so wacom works the same as them.

Only mentioned how I have it running as an alternative to having it in C: ( you must have a grub.efi in /efi/ [i.e. 1st partition] then ??); I'm also using the latest bios from Wootever -- that could be the wacom difference.
[Windows 8 General] skippie17700:
how can I download apps to my sd card? All is being downloaded to the root now and the memory is getting full.

Can't I use the SSD drive in Android? Really confusing me to get the message 'no more room'.

Got 17 apps installed and there is no more space?? And there is no storage option in the settings either.

That's another problem I have, I tried to install a new updated bios but didn't work, the screen started flashing and nothing else happened, so I still got the original bios on the tablet.
[Windows 8 General] KamaL:
[MENTION=4056517]HypoTurtle[/MENTION]

What partition should we use to do so? Ext4 or NTFS? And what windows program do you advise us to use for making a new partition?

I hope new releases will have these issues fixed. I think the reason for these missing features is that it wasn't initially intended for tablets, but for desktop pcs without battery or touch screen with screen rotation, so let's hope they add these features in the future.
[Windows 8 General] HypoTurtle:
Would probably need to edit ramdisk/initrd or a recompile (jide have open-sourced their androidx86 changes).

At the moment it's using a virtual sdcard (/data/media/0) which means that apps (stored in /data/app, /data/data etc.) and data for apps that have large data files (stored in /data/media/0/Android), are both taking up space in data.img and android reports a low space warning when only ~10% is free I believe.

If you need more space I would rename data.img to data1.img, boot RemixOS, mount the partition with RemixOS on (not sure how mounting C: would go), e2fsck -f data1.img, resize2fs data1.img 1048576 ( for 4GB )

Yea, I'd agree with the PC thing. They have open-sourced their stuff, I might find where the rotation is locked (but it could be missing/removed libs I guess). I'm just using an NTFS partition so that it mounts in Windows. Minitool works fine for the repartitioning if the Windows Disk Management doesn't free up enough space (due to paging file etc.)
[Windows 8 General] skippie17700:
Hmmm, I'm not good in programming stuff, so I think I'll wait for a fixed version with much more space (if possible) rather than messing up big deal.

---------- Post added at 05:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:05 PM ----------

Anyone else having problems starting up facebook, doesnt work here
[Windows 8 General] HypoTurtle:
I can post a bigger data.img if you want, resizing was just so you didn't have to reinstall apps.

For anyone using fat32 data.img size limit will be 4GB but a blank sdcard folder will take the place of /data/media/0 would need someone to confirm though

[MENTION=919815]skippie17700[/MENTION] feel free to request a size; max size depends on filesystem. fat32 is 4GB, NTFS limit would be whatever free space you have (actual size limit I think is in TB). I'll add a 4GB and an 8GB...ADDED
[Windows 8 General] skippie17700:
that would be nice mate :)

4GB would be great, bigger possible?

Lighter Keyboard Mod

I have modded my original i7 stylus docking keyboard to be lighter just like [MENTION=6900730]SakuraiFang[/MENTION] pointed out, removing the metal plates out. Only wanted to thank [MENTION=6900730]SakuraiFang[/MENTION] and tell you guys that is stable enough for me, even using it in tactil mode or with the stylus it remains stable. The typing feels just like before, and the weights are:

Unmodded Keyboard: 570g

Modded keyboard without the two metal plates (look at the SakuraiFang images): 362g

Metal plates total: 208g (big one 160g, small one 48g)

I am very happy with the results. I recommend patience taking off glued parts and you notice that large metal cuts like a fu$%ing katana.

By the way, I need someone to explain how to use those potential free USB ports of the motherboard so that a novice can understand. I think many of us would appreciate. Please ^^
[Windows 8 General] skippie17700:
Installed the 8 GB now, excellent, Wacom pen is working now, Facebook won't start still.
[Windows 8 General] HypoTurtle:
Good to hear, not too sure about FB... I don't use it but I know the recent app update has problems (also check the comments); what does it do exactly? Login doesn't complete or black screen or something else.

Edit. FB downloads and starts fine for me... I'll try and see if something will break it

After update to windos 10, reboot sometimes

Hi guys,

i update the device, but sometimes reboot, i don't understand why!? i flashed the bios to last version, cleaner_windos, cleaner.cmd and i installed last driver and old, but the result it's the same sometimes reboot it. any solution?

Hello Wootever

I'm thinking in buying the iWork version. I don't need the tablet for gaming and the iWork has some advantages:

- Better battery due to the Atom proccesor

- 100$ cheaper

- No temperature issues

Since this thread is fantastic and nobody seems interested in the iWork tablet in the other thread, there are two things I'd like to ask here:

- Replace the eMMC drive by an SSD

- 64 bit UEFI

Do you think it's possible? Thanks and sorry for the question (and the engrish)

Another interesting thing it's that the USB 3.0 seems pretty fast (not as fast as the SSD port but faster than the eMMc drive). Perhaps there's room inside the tablet to solder a cheap USB 3.0 pen with a two port hub . Seems that there are very fast USB 3.0 SSD drives too.

Cheers
[Windows 8 General] Thompson111:
eMMC drive is 100% sure on mainboard, so there is no way to replace it for much faster ssd.

I ask everyone, where to buy the cheapest keyboard?I have only tablet.

Here is link with compatible pens:

http://forum.tabletpcreview.com/threads/tabletpc-compatible-wacom-pens-surface-pro-pro2-only.55416/

Try to find also Dell V86GG Stylus, it's like the same as Cube i7 Stylus. Working great.

If you want a pen with no pressure levels (only one), just for pointing, it can be found on Aliexpress for even less than 1$.

This is fine, one level, but ok (7$):

http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Digi...eable-Pen-Tips-Free-shipping/32277846073.html

I have this and it's working (1$). I have doubt about it will be working, but 1$ it's not a treasure, so I've tried:

Anyone knows of a good place to find tempered glass screen covers for this tablet?

I'm looking at ebay but not sure if they will fit the screen. I don't mind if it doesn't have holes for the camera, don't use it anyway
[Windows 8 General] dreamer_:
Perhaps we can use the USB 3.0, to solder a little hub inside the tablet, since there's seems to be room for another drive inside. There are very nice USB external SSD drivers and even a cheap USB seems to be a lot faster than the eMMC and that the sdcard slot for the i7

Thanks
[Windows 8 General] Wootever:
The BayTrail and CherryTrail platform unfortunately only supports eMMC, i guess the missing sata interface is one of the intended reasons to keep the atom chips "at distance".

If there is an 64bit UEFI available it probably can be used by existing (32bit) devices as well.

I don't think that's possible, you will need an assembled but unused internal usb3 connector which then needs to be properly soldered to the usb hub.

The 3G connector is not properly assembled (we also don't know it's function, probably not an usb connector), but you can take a look at the post from GreenGO21 [MENTION=5004746]4pda.ru[/MENTION]

It might be possible that some (BusyBox) versions doesn't support modprobe -r, it's safer to use rmmod instead.

# Touchscreen workaround
if [ ! -d /sys/bus/i2c/drivers/i2c_hid/i2c-FTSC* ]; then
rmmod i2c_hid
modprobe i2c_hid; fi

Unfortunately i haven't made much progress, i could fix the google apps and display corruption issues, but the suspend issue is still present which is difficult to debug.
[Windows 8 General] AlvaroRos:
[MENTION=7079804]tprata[/MENTION]

I buyed one on Aliexpress for 11$. Not recommended. Fitted well, no hole for camera, but it was defective so it has a few stains difficult to see with the display on. Aliexpress buyer protection is poor, they only refund me 3$. The seller is net bridge trading company. I wish Gearbest sold tempered glass protectors for this tablet, because with Paypal you are much more protected, I have had several success stories.
[Windows 8 General] KamaL:
Thanks for the information.

Remix OS looks promising, with good battery consumption. Maybe you can get an idea what can be done from that release, or use it as a basis for better builds, as it lacks a few essential issues for a tablet (battery indicator, no screen rotation...).

Impact of windows energy mode in performance

Have you noticed that when the win 10 energy mode is set " economizer " benchmarks like 3DMark 11 give 10% better results than in equilibrated (maybe balanced, I'm from Spain) mode? I had repeated the test many times, always with the tablet cool:

With economizer mode: P950-P975

With equilibrated mode: P830-P880

I dont know if its because it has less processes in background with economizer mode or if its because it heats up less using less turbo and that is best for long time stress.

Win 10 Pro, modded bios 5.6 lattest drivers.
[Windows 8 General] dreamer_:
Thanks a lot for the nice answers
[Windows 8 General] HypoTurtle:
Yea that's what I thought == first is their enough power to drive an ssd (battery/cpu)... well there is a micro usb3.0 so in that case you'd essentially need to bastardise the usb3.0 wiring with a usb to sata cable and find enough room to cram that in with the ssd drive; I'd doubt that would fit... nor would a usb3.0 hub to maintain the microusb functionality.

In similar vain is their anyway to utilise the pogo receiver pins from the outside or is there a trigger signal that's required to turn them on or something??

Would that workaround be better placed in /vendor/etc/init.sh? Do you know how/when the init.sh is triggered... is it just at boot or is there some sort of pooling interval? remixos is unlikely in my opinion to bother to deviate from the default androidx86 busybox (and modprobe -r is listed as a default option by busybox.net), but good to note regardless.

How can we boot directly into UEFI OS using easyUEFI?
[Windows 8 General] HypoTurtle:
UEFI OS ?? Do you mean the Advanced Reboot blue screen where the touchscreen works (see attached)?

If so I don't think you can... that is essentially almost fully booted Windows (hense why the screen works).

With EasyUEFI you can choose the order of the .efi's that the system will load (i.e Windows Boot Manager, Gummiboot, Grub2 etc.) == that way you can bypass the blue screen and go straight to Grub2 from off.
[Windows 8 General] Wootever:
It's executed by init.android_x86_64.rc:

on init
exec -- /system/bin/logwrapper /system/bin/sh /system/etc/init.sh

It can also be set under do_bootcomplete() for a slight delay.

on property:sys.boot_completed=1
write /proc/sys/kernel/ctrl-alt-del 0
exec -- /system/bin/logwrapper /system/bin/sh /system/etc/init.sh bootcomplete

as a side note:

I sold my i7 Stylus and bought an TrekStor W2. It's an Cube i7 [non-stylus] rebrand with a customized keyboard and a broadcom dualband WiFi/BT chip.

There are maybe a few Cube i7 owners here, so i might add some information about this device on the thread as well.

Does this mean you won't support the i7 Stylus anymore ?
[Windows 8 General] ariadnejro:
[MENTION=4709667]Wootever[/MENTION] are you dropping the i7 Stylus? That would be very bad news. I was hoping that you could fix the deep sleep issues and bring us a full Android experience.

Is it the same key as ProduKey shows?
[Windows 8 General] seaniccus:
[MENTION=4709667]Wootever[/MENTION]

Seems to be. The Product ID listed in System is identical and the last five characters of the rejected key in "Your product key" on the activation screen match the key generated by ProduKey.

[Windows 8 General] Wootever:
[MENTION=4888831]seaniccus[/MENTION]

Well, that's not good. The problem with the first i7 Stylus batches was the fact that they used kms activation to licence windows pro edition (probably because of the pre-installed chinese single language edition).

However there were still valid Windows single language edition serials backed into the bios, but now it seems they used volume activation on windows bing edition without any valid bios backed serial.

Edit:

Please open a administrative command shell and enter:

slmgr -xpr
slmgr -dlv
[Windows 8 General] seaniccus:
[MENTION=4709667]Wootever[/MENTION]

Bummer. Good to know it was on the up-and-up before.... but it is frustrating.

Thanks for walking me through all those steps, even if all it did is confirm that they used KMS to activate invalid keys. I guess I'm back to opening a dispute and hopefully getting enough of a refund to buy a key outright.
[Windows 8 General] Wootever:

[Windows 8 General] Aicene:
Hello! I'd like to tell about hacked Windows. I'm a reader on Russian 4PDA forum, and one Russian guy, who live in China, told, what's really happen with Windows on Cube. All tablets from the start are with genuine key, just a slight problem, Win UI are in Chinese. You are able to get other languages on it, but there are too long way through Chinese UI to get English for example. And what the Cube did, they simplify this way for themselves and for customers. Just hacked it :mad: When I asked that guy to make instruction for that, he answered: The idea is wonderful, no doubt. Only the meaning of what? Someone besides me Win8 with Bing Chinese? Will someone Win8 with Bing Chinese = help.

Translate with Google from Russian(on first sight, not a big faults), taken from 4PDA forum, posted by that guy ;) :

What Win8 "hack" is certainly not good, but the fact is that in the original Cube i7 Stylus is only one language, simplified Chinese. Some of you are ready to set up Win8 with Bing in the Chinese? Initial Settings, signing in Windows, confirmation codes, and so on, up to the moment when you can download additional languages ​​and install them? For settings you will need an interpreter, exactly. Sold only simplifies your life, instead of a long and tedious setup simply alter OS. The fact that after reset the account settings language, magically return the tablet to its original state (the only Chinese language interface), although the language packs (if you have downloaded and installed) remain in place, but to access your account and select the language of communication with the tablet only the Chinese, not the most sensible solution, in my opinion, but ...

There is no such thing "Win8 Bing (Eng, Rus)", Win8 with Bing, by definition multilingual, another thing that you need additional languages to download and install, it is done without any problems, but you need to know "starting" language in China is Chinese, so initially the tablet in Chinese and original settings I had to do in Chinese. Now my plate was completely "Russian", English and Chinese are present as well, but any of them can be deleted.

P.S. Just I saw one free connector on WiFi plate? I suspect, if ad one more antenna, then speed became better ;)
[Windows 8 General] n1203:

Is it working? I read that only ARM & Atom support CS and only in 32-bit Windows ;)
[Windows 8 General] Wootever:
Yes, it seems that was an early windows 64 bit bug (also the reason why most baytrail devices only got an 32 bit uefi) but was fixed some time ago.

There is also an problem with the realtek wifi selective suspend, it's always active an draws energy which reduces utility a lot.

No legitim w8 licence...

Maybe…

Cube has a legit OEM key for i7, but agreement with MS is to only use it for the Chinese market.(or Cube cant afford spend keys for the 23/7 sales.)

That legit OEM key can be checked in bios. But I havent got my tablet yet. Maybe somebody could check? Easiest way is MSDM-SLIC-CERT-KEY Dumper v1.6. You can get it from the MDL-forum.

[MENTION=919815]skippie17700[/MENTION] and [MENTION=917500]ariadnejro[/MENTION]

The devices are very similar, the driver package and android are pretty much cross-compatible, only device specific things like the Bios or the heatspreader for example can't be shared.

Also i don't expect any Bios update / new revision for the i7 Stylus, they will probably focus on the i9 / i9 Stylus instead.
[Windows 8 General] ariadnejro:
By the way, the volume keys don't work in any of the Android versions that I have tested, it seems that the system doesn't even map or recognize them.

Figured it was at least at boot; wasn't sure if power/win key also triggered it in cases of dropped modules or something.

German rebrand?? Essentially an i7 stylus with a few components improved to better fit the higher standards required by the EU and Germany in particular...

Anyway have a 'workaround fix' for the RemixOS wifi - I think I saw a driver-nodrop somewhere which I think is the proper fix but:

#modprobe 8723bu
#rm /data/misc/dhcp/*

after turning wifi off will allow you to turn it on again and reconnect.
[Windows 8 General] skippie17700:
what do we do with this information, HypoTurtle ? Can we fix it ourselves ?
[Windows 8 General] Wootever:
Well, it's a slightly customized Cube i7 which uses the same EM-C6116 mainboard.

However the main components are still identical and on android it's possible to include all necessary drivers for both devices.

That's basically just a missing wacom device and a different WiFi/Bluetooth module.
