Thanks for this and picking up the compiling from source duties; just a few questions, primarily on what Cube i7 Stylus fixes are needed, on latest source...

Afaik (and I haven't downloaded your build yet). o

1. Our wifi works without any fixes (works fine on Remix with 4.4.6 and Ax86 is up to 4.4.8 - and I believe they use the same source)

2. Orientation fix also shouldn't be needed the patch for accelerometer value from dsdt has been added to mainstream source and rotation behaviour can now be controlled via a property file/matrix

Regarding sleep have a check if removing the Power button from excluded devices (/etc/excluded-devices.xml) does anything.

Sdcard is definitely an improvement though over the previous 6.0 ROM.

I take it the system is compiled/compressed as .sfs as standard? Do you think there's any need for a systemless root?

i.e. I know the build probably has root built-in via settings but having a system-less root will allow 'modifying' some system files while keeping the system compressed as a read-only sfs

I'll have a look through your github now; you've probably already 'answered' these questions there...

Edit. Yea seems you've already done the above, the only thing I'd query is modifying the default iio matrix in the .so instead of just adding another line to init.sh set_property hal.sensors.iio.anglvel.matrix hal.sensors.iio.accel.matrix -1,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,-1
[Windows 8 General] fewt:
Sure, it was an adventure I've been wanting to take for a while now.

That might be true, I forked and have been using [MENTION=4709667]Wootever[/MENTION]'s kernel, I'm planning to switch to the mainline Android 6.0.1 kernel once I can get to it.

Do you know which property configures it offhand? I'd much rather go that route.

Edit: set_property hal.sensors.iio.anglvel.matrix -1,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,-1 thanks!

That's what [MENTION=4709667]Wootever[/MENTION] was doing, I've carried it over. I've tested that, poweroff.doubleclick 0, all of the various configurable parameters for sleep/power short and long presses. I've even ripped all of the new double tap camera code out to see if that was causing it. So far it looks like it's getting the event and starting to doze but then it immediately wakes back up. Manually sending freeze or mem to /sys/power/state works just fine though.

Just need to merge that module into the kernel or manage how it's added better so it can be loaded by modprobe.

I'm still learning how Android builds work, I expanded the system sfs but I'm not sure I've done it right. Android is very new and very different to me from what I'm familiar with coming from a Fedora fork.

For Gapps integration i just copied the necessary google apk's during the built process, please try if this is still working:

Google apps 6.0 x86 and x86_64

I added <item>com.google.android.gms</item> to <string-array name="config_locationProviderPackageNames" translatable="false"> to prevent the most severe permission issue. Play Store might cause some storage permission problem.

Thanks for all your hard work guys.

I have a few questions, please don't flame me, I have tried searching:

1. A bootloader (grub) that can use touch to select OS (unlikely) or a way to do so by mapping the vol up/down hardware buttons to choose Android / Windows at startup

2. A way to ensure that touch is working in Windows when it reboots (I have an issue where after booting Android, touch does not work in Windows)

3. How to configure UEFI to boot 1. above, while having Android on a NTFS partition to allow the data partition to be extended (above the FAT32 4GB limit overall) to allow a resonable amount of apps to be installled.

I have great difficulty with this thread and the http://xdaforums.com/android/software/androidx86-forks-uefi-windows-based-t3313744 thread which is very generic and not device specific, to find the information I need. Any help would be very welcome.

Thanks again for all your hard work.
[Windows 8 General] petrapas:
Will there be an update to this machine page?

With guides and drivers?

I tried to install Ubuntu 16.04 but somehow the WiFi doesn't work and the touchscreen loses its function after a wake up from sleep.

I already tried many proposed solutions from other forums, but they don't work.

Generally the systems runs quite well.

The touchscreen too, after configuring it with xinput-calibrator.

Geekbench:

Single-Core Score	2146

Multi-Core Score 4131

Geekbench 3.4.1 Tryout for Linux x86 (32-bit)
[Windows 8 General] HypoTurtle:
Yea apologies for that thread, it was intended to be as generic as possible though, figured it could benefit users of other devices as well - perhaps with different devices just needing a different compiled kernel. But especially as now all kernel related matters seem to be fixed mainstream for us it is a bit redundant.

Anyway on to your questions.

1. Using Windows boot manager for touch is probably the only option unless [MENTION=4709667]Wootever[/MENTION] is there a bios module or something for touchscreen (unless I'm misunderstanding AMI/BIOS related). I have tried compiling gummiboot with volume button mapping but they couldn't be picked up.

For WBM - from Windows

bcdedit /copy {current} /d "Safe Mode"

then enter msconfig32 and in boot tab make the Safe Mode entry boot SafeMode

This is just to make WBM stop auto-booting Windows.

On reboot; you need to go Advanced Options ==> Additional Settings ==> Use a device ==> UEFI device or something like that​

2. Never had that issue only the reverse...

3. I haven't checked the grub included by [MENTION=3169814]fewt[/MENTION] but it should be one that a) can be loaded from ntfs partition and b) can read/access/boot from ntfs partition i.e. ntfs grub module built in. [I think if ntfs module is separate and only insmodd'ed in the grubx64 can't be loaded from ntfs]

[MENTION=3169814]fewt[/MENTION] yea I was doing the same regarding Wootevers kernel with RemixOS (kernel/module swapping) until I noticed the driver had been included; I haven't checked Ax86 though to confirm it's there as well. Regarding sfs I think it's fine to leave it that way; it saves space and if people want the .img (to mount rw) then the can 'extract' it with 7zip. The sfs is essentially a zipped .img with android mounting the .sfs to /sfs then the .img to /system (not sure if any of that has any impact on ram etc.).
[Windows 8 General] innerd:
someone can explain how to install android x86 , or link me a discussion
[Windows 8 General] HypoTurtle:
Just copy and paste efi folder to root of a partition i.e. D:/efi

How it works is UEFI looks for .efi files located at X:/efi/boot

And adds an entry in the Use a device screen from Advanced reboot.

In the case of Ax86 this is grubx64.efi which reads the grub.cfg to see what it should be loading/booting. You could switch to using grub as the default bootloader by modifying in UEFI/Bios
[Windows 8 General] sirdrak:
Can anyone help me with this? I don't know why this is happening... :(
[Windows 8 General] HypoTurtle:
I had the same when I was messing with the boot entries.

Can you post the output of bcdedit from Windows - Admin Command Prompt just to verify.

If it's not an issue there then you'd have to look at the crash logs.

[MENTION=3169814]fewt[/MENTION] [just fyi. I've switched to the 4.4.6 kernel from Jide on your build but this should still apply]

Blacklist evbug module seems to fix the sleep issue [I'll need to verify as I changed some other things] - evbug still seems to be sending logs to dmesg; maybe that's yhe issue [2 different evbug processes clashing?]

Also in init.sh I think it's better or at least tidier to use set_property instead of setprop; set_property gets called a little later but this means more of the system is setup...
[Windows 8 General] fewt:
Excellent! I'll run a build with these changes after work, I'm also wanting to change how I insert the sd module so it's more fluid between kernel revs (uname -r if it's supported by busybox). Would you mind sharing your kernel config, I'd like to look at the diff.
[Windows 8 General] HypoTurtle:
I'm starting to think it might be due to enabling all the pci's - I'll try and narrow it down... [just fyi. I enabled all on RemixOS and it still seemed to sleep/wake fine]

I haven't compiled this kernel; it's stock 4.4.6 from Jide/RemixOS but should be similar to Ax86 4.4.8 I guess.

The last one I compiled was 4.4.2 diff'ing stock with Wootever's; and just not compiling ntfs/exfat support into kernel [they still work; I guess via system binaries/vold].

I've had 1 data.img dissappear on me; I think due to the force shutdowns; but the dissapearance rather than just corruption is a bit wierd.

edit it might be the usb3's (14) causing the sleep fail Also I think you need the acpi charger patch here I think that fixes the boot on battery = permanent 100% charge reported.

Hi.

On mine 77mm or 3inch the distance between the first pin and the plastic post.

---------- Post added at 03:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:43 PM ----------

I got a little bit of problem with my micro usb 3.0 connector on the tablet.

If I connect my stuffs with the micro usb 2 connector everything works fine.

But when I use the Micro USB 3.0 connector (Which was supplied with the tablet) then the windows can not recognize the hardware.

Is it the USB adaptor fault or driver or bios settings?

Does anyone has experience with that?

Under windows 10.

Thanks.

[Windows 8 General] fewt:
Unfortunately I haven't been able to get it working, it installs fine but all of the services crash repeatedly. I'll keep toying with it, I'm probably just doing something wrong.

You may be right that it's something with USB. I applied that ACPI charge patch, thanks for it I had overlooked that one. Good news, I've been able to get the mainline kernel 4.4.11 working fine, and all of the patches are in my git repo. I wasn't able to get hal.sensors.iio.anglvel.matrix to work properly, but I'll keep toying with it. New images uploading to SF if anyone wants to play around with them.

[Windows 8 General] HypoTurtle:
Technically yes, heat can damage it; but I've had it very hot for a long time without any apoarent ill effects (device froze overnight), so it could be deceptively hot due to the metal back.

That said use ThrottleStop or Intel ETU on Windows. And in Android I personally turn turbo off (limiting cpu to 800MHz)

Here's the first beta of Android 6.0.1 for the Cube i7 Stylus. It's a little glitchy when resuming from suspend/sleep but it's functional.

Working:

- Orientation

- SD Card Reader

- WIFI

- Bluetooth

- Touch

- Sleep

Not working:

- Doze, it just goes right to suspend.

- The installer will not progress as USB hid modules aren't in the initial ram disk

Features:

- Android 6.0.1 r43

- Kernel 4.4.11

This image does not have GAPPS integration, I haven't decided if I'll release a build with it baked in, but either way I'll document how to install it once I have it working. Patches welcome.

Thank you! Waiting for the information how to install this Android build on Windows and for GAPPS integration.
[Windows 8 General] fewt:
One major problem I've discovered with installing on the Cube is that the kernel doesn't have the necessary USB HID modules loaded when booting to the installer so USB keyboards don't work. It looks like it's been a problem for a long time. Hopefully the fix is as simple as adding the USB stack/HID to the initrd.
[Windows 8 General] HypoTurtle:
That's my bad: it's the hal.sensors.iio.accel.matrix property that needs to be set...

[Windows 8 General] HypoTurtle:
No the other one is another prop value read by the iio.so; I did the same thing (set the incorrect property) on Remix as well; I should have learnt to check twice that it was the right one.

I'm just checking if I can get gapps added and working, atm.
[Windows 8 General] fewt:
Awesome, I'm debugging the keyboard not working right now, (init loads the atkbd keyboard module, but no USB HID modules?!) but I was looking at this earlier: http://opengapps.org wondering if it could be integrated somehow after the bare Android install.
[Windows 8 General] HypoTurtle:
Yea, that's what we were doing previously.

I have it running pico x86_64 version but still have a couple fc's from PlayServices every once in a while; still usable though. Did you apply the patch Wootever mentioned?

[You need to remove/hide either GooglePackageInstaller from gapps or PackageInstaller from stock]

[Just fyi. There is a script/thread here to add gapps to a build after it's built (I have a post about halfway through with an altered script to download the latest package as well - not sure if I have an updated script somewhere]

Finally, the issue of cube i7 disconnecting/connecting keyboard/USB is fixed. I just opened up the keyboard dock and re-soldered the two ICs (USB hub IC and keypad IC) on the bigger PCBA, and this fixed everything.

Here is the video on how to dissemble the keyboard dock, and shows which two ICs I am talking about.

Hello zdanee, "When you short-circuit it, the USB controller connected to that shuts off, often taking the microSD, the WiFi and the bluetooth with it." I had this happening few times (few times with blue screen) when I tried to figure why the keyboard/USB kept disconnecting. In my regular use, this is rarely happening, and the pogo-pins are good.

I heard back from my friend at Microsoft about our KB3156421 bug. They told us to all file individual bugs against it in the Windows feedback app. Since it's just one report (even though I linked them here), they aren't going to do anything about it. If they get enough reports, they'll fix it.

Hi HypeTurtle,

Thanks for the information. With the Windows 10 bootloader, doing the above seems just to boot to safe mode: I do not get the option to to advanced options to choose Advanced mode, so cannot choose to boot from the UEFI device.

Also, the instructions for bcdedit need to be updated to put "Safe Mode" in quote marks I believe.

You're right "" needed because of the space.

Are you running 10 Home or Pro?

If home I think we can confirm Pro+ is needed for this method...

[Windows 8 General] HypoTurtle:
So your getting the same as gbru2505?
[Windows 8 General] nealed:
No, I dont get to see the options bit at the bottom. If I did, no problem, I might be able to choose the boot device.

I tried Remix quickly... but don't like it, and now I have to rebuild the 6.0.1 Grub entries, it may have to wait until next weekend.

Not being able to choose at startup is a bit of a pain, a real shame that MS is locking down their bootloader. I love Windows 10, and I also love android. MS should at least give people the choice..... and that we cannot map the hardware keys of the i7 stylus.... means having to find a keyboard to boot, of really choose with EasyUEFI in windows before shutting down. Would love to have access to an android tablet... easily... from time to time, but not going to go out and buy one, with all the other Android devices (Phablet etc) that I have!!!)

Mytrix 11t (Cube I7 rebrand) - first impressions

Recieved the Myrix Complex 11t (Labelled on the Box and other area's as Cytrix 11t) from Amazon for a good deal (£309) Including keyboard and stylus pen.

Quite happy with it so far. However some gripes as follows (Hopefully there will be some rectifications)

Volume even at max volume is very very low. (Driver issue??)

The stylus seems to be pressure sensitive according to photoshop and fresh paint but does not seem to be nowhere near the 1024 levels (more like 8 levels..) could it be the protector film? I have removed the first layer and there is now the protective film still on the tablet which will be kept there till i get another one. Even slight hard presses immediately register full intensity sometimes.

Geekbench 3 scores (32bit tryout mode) are at 2000 single core and 4100 multicore. I assume this is around right?

TF Slot (There has been some users that have mentioned that the microsd has been stuck, this has happened to me as well) The reason for this is because it can be possible to insert the microsd outside of the slot inside the device hence getting it stuck. The secret is to insert it tilted (and then it should click in place (and another click will release it). If it goes in less smooth, then take it out and try again, but dont push it all the way in unless you feel the springiness.

Device seems to get rather warm even on near-idle. CPU-Z is reporting 800mhz (Should it not be less than that when idle? or is it from 800mhz to 2ghz?

Custom resolutions do not seem to work :((( Mentions bandwidth exceeded. I did try 50hz however. I assume this is related to the screen as well. (Had the same issue with my linxvision tablet) but on my thinkpad t420, there is no issue.

Thats it for now. Rather a nice device.

Will give that a try. Funnily enough when trying out PPSSPP (PSP Emulator) Audio comes out very very loud..

In the meantime i have tried the 5.8 modded bios but benchmarks seemed to be a lot lower (1700 single core, 2855 multicore) in comparison to the 2045 single core, 4100 multicore) in the Original Cytrix Bios. Hence reverted back to the original bios.

There are problems with Windows Update updating past a specific point. Decided just to remove everything from the SSD and do a fresh install of Windows 10 Pro instead, then to install the drivers after.
[Windows 8 General] R3jected:
I installed the drivers from this thread, however I bought the Wacom Smart Pen for Galaxy Note and even after Calibration in the Wacom software the stylus is still very inaccurate. It's precision is different on every part of the screen.

During the calibration process the stylus is does not recognized properly in the corners of the tablet, so I am forced to click on a differet point with more space from the edge of the display.

Any tips?
[Windows 8 General] DrHunt:
Benchmark lower for 5.8 is because it throttles the CPU to keep the CPU temperature down; I think BIOS 5.8 is better than the original one --- it makes this tablet more stable.

VLC player can boost the volume to 200%. But I would not recommend this. This is because 100% max is for a reason, if you go beyond 100%, you might get a chance of damaging the speakers.

Try booting into BIOS (press DEL at startup logo), then short press the power button. This turns off the power completely for me. This should give you 0% battery drain overnight.
