Latest bios working fine, thank you.

By the way, have you dropped Android development?
[Windows 8 General] Wootever:
[MENTION=917500]ariadnejro[/MENTION]

Not entirely, but honestly i'm pretty much disappointed with my i7 rebrand/clone that i'm seriously consider to get another Cube i7 Stylus for less hassle and for proper work on Android.

There is currently a sale on GearBest for the Cube i7 Stylus. I also noticed that there is an affiliate program available, which would reduce the cost for a new device.

Maybe someone consider buying this device, using this affiliate link would support me:

Cube i7 Stylus for $305
[Windows 8 General] ariadnejro:
Not sure how to use that affiliate link, but I would be happy to donate.
[Windows 8 General] Wootever:
[MENTION=917500]ariadnejro[/MENTION]

Small description for the affiliate link:

What is a Referred Purchase?

It must be the new buyer’s first time purchase (initial order) on GearBest.

The first time purchase must have an order value equal or greater than your shared product.

Even if you are not the referral source for registration, as long as it’s the buyer’s first purchase within the initial post-registration 30-day period, it will still count as your very own Referral Purchase.

I also added a donate link to my profile, thanks.

I just received a stylus I bought through eBay:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/321766176473?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

I'm not sure if it supports pressure sensitivity. How can I test that?
[Windows 8 General] Ragingsheep:
I'm looking to get rid of my current one. It's working fine, I just don't need it any more.

Depending on where you're located and how prohibitive shipping costs would be.

Try with a Samsung stylus and one of the following pressure-sensitive drawing softwares

* Fresh Paint

* MediBang Paint

* Plumbago

* Adobe Photoshop
[Windows 8 General] KamaL:
I tried that, the Samsung Note 4 pen has pressure sensitivity, but the one I bought doesn't :(

Can I do something about it?

I noticed there's no Wacom software installed in my tablet. How do I install it through the drivers package in the first post?

Thanks
[Windows 8 General] Pagwi:
I've tried tablet and normal mode :( figured out its only chrome where the keyboard doesn't appear automatically. Any ideas?

Cube work 11 Stylus

I tried to configure dual boot on Cube Iwork11 Stylus (Cherry Trail hardware) with "Second Preview of Android (x86_64) 6.0 for the Cube i7" By Wootever.

It seems ok, with this important issue:

- No Wifi ....but Driver seems ok (Realtek RTL8723BS)

- No Energy Management

- No Battery indicator

- Wrong rotation screen

- Sd card does not work

Tried antutu bench with honest 44000

I'd like to try 4.4 Wootever version but seems was deleted from Mega, there is another link for download?

Thanks
[Windows 8 General] DrHunt:
Right click on "Install.cmd", then "run as administrator". Just let the program finishes running, all drivers in there will be installed. Thanks to Wootever for this great driver package.

Does someone managed to activate auto switch desktop /tablet mode when plug in/out the keyboard?

I can only manually switch between the two modes.

Get Surface Pro unless you are competent in handling computers. Cube i7 is a nice tablet, but it has few more or less serious bugs. Here are what I have noticed.

1.) Rarely I power up the unit but with no display when it is fully charged. Solution: just press and hold the power button for few couples of ten seconds, release, press again, screen will be alive again.

2.) WiFi is quite unstable; it seems wifi cycles between getting and losing connections at heavy load. Also, losing connection if reception at long distance. I think, solution: replace the internal wifi antenna, as shown in the first post of this forum,

3.) From time to time, my cube i7 original keyboard becomes not working, none of the keys is responsive. I have to separate the tablet and the keyboard, and then put them together and hear the device-connected sound to make the keyboard working again. I am still trying to figure out what is going on.

4.) When you plug in DC jack with HDMI connected, or plug in HDMI jack with DC jack connected, you will see electrical sparks. It is an electronic circuit design issue.
[Windows 8 General] Mark99xc:
Hey Guys,

anyone knows how to replace the glass on the i7?

I've managed to get a crack on the lower right side which keeps on getting larger......

Maybe someone has already replaced his screen?

Thanks. :)
[Windows 8 General] ZeeLobby:
And I think it's QC more than anything else. I have yet to have any of these issues minus the occasional keyboard disconnects. That said I've seen the same thing happen with Surface Pros so I also wonder if it's OS related rather than hardware. Windows tablets have had a history of dockable keyboards occasionally losing recognition.
[Windows 8 General] KamaL:
Thanks.

The pen doesn't seem to support pressure sensitivity, which is a pity. also it doesn't seem to be calibrated well.

My Samsung Note 4 pen works just fine with pressure support, but it's too small.

Well, 10$ wasted :)
[Windows 8 General] DrHunt:
I see. You were talking about a pen from Cube i7. Me too, I got a pen as a gift when I bought my Cube i7. The pen I got was also not pressure sensitivity. I complaint to them and they said it was as it was; wasting my time. Now I am using a pen from my Samsung mobile phone on Cube i7 instead, and this pen is working fine.

Yeah, it is just like buying a lottery, depending on your luck. You have higher chance of bad luck with this Cube i7 tablet. But, what do you expect? It is a cheap and China-made tablet (but with a powerful specification). This was why I said unless you are competent in handling computers, you better get a tablet with better quality control.

Luckily, I am in that competent category.

Battery in the Keyboard

hi, everybody

Firstly, my big Thanks to [MENTION=4709667]Wootever[/MENTION], [MENTION=4056517]HypoTurtle[/MENTION] and all others that have made this machine exceeding its initial design limits; I really enjoy the tablet and left my laptop has been left unopened for a good while.

I took great fun to have done the SSD replacement and heatspreader mods and I was just thinking if someone handy could look-up the addition of batteries in the keyboard and turn it into a charging through the base system, bypassing the power input barrel, which is nasty, to say the least; from the thread above, I understand that by removing the metal plate, we have at least 1 mm clear under the keyboard and some 3 mm in other place - there are thin battery cells of 1 mm thickness.....of course, there should be a dedicated POGO for the power input and a power management board

Sorry, if it is redundant and somebody has already scraped this idea.

During last X-mas, I came across the Cube Stylus looking up a Wacom digitizer and have been following this discussion ever since. I took the plunge to verify my bias towards writing on screen, before going for a Surface - and I am not yet decided that the Surface would be so much better.... I have the Cube i7, Win10 legit (Chinese), Stylus (including a perfect copy replacement from Samsung), and the keyboard; so far, my experience has been quite positive, not encountered any of the problems some of you got,

Thank you all for keeping it live
[Windows 8 General] Wootever:
I'm located in Germany.

Replacement glass/touchscreen can be bought on AliExpress.

But you will need to remove the plastic frame from your current device.

Cube i7 Stylus on GearBest for $289
[Windows 8 General] Wootever:
There are two upcoming sales.

First sale (live):

Cube i9 on GearBest for $489

(PayPal discount will be added after the checkout)

However, GivingAssistant promises a 12% cashback, which can result in a $58 cashback.

Second sale (starting on 29th):

Cube i9 on AliExpress for $399

Hi there, does anyone know if the wifi/bt module is replaceable?
[Windows 8 General] fewt:
It's not a socketed card, and not user replaceable.
[Windows 8 General] vgiozo:
Has anyone tried using a USB to 3.5mm DC cable like this one for charging the device through a regular, more portable Charger, without carrying that brick of a power adapter along?

You should make it clear though that GivingAssistant should (hopefully) offer

CASHBACK, not a discount on your purchase

...and that cash, should it all be given to you, can delay up to 60 days or more.

If you are interested in the i9, Cube is selling this on Aliexpress for 399$ on March 29th

http://www.aliexpress.com/store/pro...-10-Tablet-PC-Core-M/1123249_32597748825.html
[Windows 8 General] HypoTurtle:
Fraid not, at least not the one you've listed; the important part being the 5V, charging requires 12V.

USB I don't believe can deliver more than 5V anyway, something like this is probably the best option for a portable charging solution, or any 12V wall charger with the correct DC barrel jack.
[Windows 8 General] Wootever:
It takes less than 24h, already got my cashback of $58.79
[Windows 8 General] vgiozo:
Since I was the first one to test it out on TechTablets and publish some first impressions, I am well aware of how it works.

I think I was clear enough, though, this cashbash is not money in your pocket yet, will take up to or more than 2 months to be released to you...

when it lands in your Paypal account, quote me again.

I have 72$ in my GivingAssistant account and have no idea when I will get a taste of it...my point being PREFER THE IMMEDIATE DISCOUNT, (the deal in Aliexpress) RATHER THEN THE PROMISE OF CASHBACK at later period (Gearbest deal).

If you have already decided to buy only through Paypal and Gearbest, then having the prospect of a cashback is nice...but

don't let this be the defining factor in your purchase decision.

Thanks for pointing to that DC issue, almost missed it.

I still find the battery to be quite expensive and massive to carry around.

Would something like this work, do you think?

[Windows 8 General] Wootever:
Fair enough. The $60 aren't gone but they also aren't available as well.

The reason why i posted this GearBest offer is because AliExpress seller So Cube doesn't ship to all countries in europe.
[Windows 8 General] HypoTurtle:
Possibly; but if I have if right you'll be trickle charging; maybe at best a draw of 200mA (instead of 2000-2500mA from stock mains).
[Windows 8 General] vgiozo:
Yeah, my enthusiasm has dampened since I got word just today from a reliable user back home that he had used it to get 12% cashback on a 250$ purchase, but they only released 5$ to him, because they said that's how much Gearbest unilaterally decided to pay them.

I can't tell the generality of this issue, but surely I am more skeptical now and reluctant to advise others to use it, at least before I gain personal experience from dealing with the site.

---------- Post added at 06:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:00 PM ----------

I am dense about electronics so sorry if this sounds silly...

If it takes 12V output for the tablet to charge, does this mean that many powerbanks which output 5V (xiaomi ones for example) will be unable to charge it and that only 12V-output ones will manage?

I guess a 12V charger whose prongs are placed vertically instead of horizontally would save a lot of space (would make the charger thinner like other chargers), but with a fast ebay search I found none.
[Windows 8 General] Wootever:
I see, i edited my previous post to state that it's just a possibility rather than a fact.
[Windows 8 General] HypoTurtle:
'Fraid so if it's usb out then it's 5V which means it's for phones/tablets that are charged with 'normal' usb cables i.e. microusb/lightning connector (apple). The powerblock I posted before outputs 12V via a different non-usb output, but I have spottd a few that claim 12V over USB supposedly for Samsung fast-charge, I guess it's something similar to the voltage booster thing with an additional component to boost/keep Ampere high.
[Windows 8 General] vgiozo:
I have found some nice, slim chargers that support 12V/9V/5V charging, but with merely 1.3A-1.5A output in 12V.

Fortunately I have read that this tablet

barely draws more than 0.8A in 12V and could be charged at 10V

.

This guy on Youtube has a little exciting channel and has provided some very good info on the tablet, check out his videos for the Tablet, and for its Charger as well...very informative...

[Windows 8 General] HypoTurtle:
Yea pretty much, I'm sure this stuff was mentioned earlier in the thread.

I think it's clearer if you think of it in terms of actual power (W); the stock charger (mine at least) is reported as 12V at 2500mA so that's a supposed maximum of 30W (I think there's some with 12V at 2000mA so 24W); this core M is supposedly rated as running at 4.5W (I think that's the minimum); so there is so leeway there. 800mA at ~12V will give you ~10W. And I think you could go down to using 9V (25% of 12V) but probably not advised.

Just to add some values to this RemixOS seems to be using 6W unplugged ; 10W plugged (/sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/power_now) and voltage is closer to 8V
[Windows 8 General] vgiozo:
sorry if it has been mentioned already, just recently started following the thread.

So, I could use one of these chargers/adapters

https://www.fasttech.com/product/4366300

https://www.fasttech.com/product/3631000

https://www.fasttech.com/product/4254600

https://www.fasttech.com/product/3706800

BUT then, the problem would remain:

what compatible cable could I use to connect it to the tablet?

As you probably understand, I am looking for a way to have to carry just one charger for both my phone and my tablet...
[Windows 8 General] HypoTurtle:
Personally not too sure on those usb chargers; I believe the 12V requires Qualcomm Quickcharge usb port on the device in order to switch it to that mode, so don't know how that would work here.

You could always charge the phone from the tablet... that way you just need a tablet charger/wall plug and a microusb cable(+ usb3.0 microusb adaptor).
[Windows 8 General] vgiozo:
Well the Tronsmart the Aukey which I linked to do support this Qualcomm Quickcharge technology

The Xiaomi has its own QuickCharge circuit it seems.

So does the Elephone one.

If I to buy one of them with Qualcomm Quickcharge, do you have any idea what cable I would have to get for the tablet?

The Tronsmart comes with a QC compatible, special USB-to-MicroUSB cable....wish there was something similar for the Cube.

EDIT:

Just read that Qualcom quickcharge is only compatible with Qualcom (cpu) devices, is that right?
[Windows 8 General] HypoTurtle:
Yea, that's what I meant, I couldn't find any info on if it's implemented by the SoC or something else on the motherboard at the charge port; but it's definately (licensed)-Qualcomm tech needed device side.

Not sure what it would do on these tabs; probably just stay at 5v I guess

Edit. Seems to be a charging ciruit and authenticator chip; but not 100% on that
[Windows 8 General] kaotikb:
I have the aukey quick charge 2 adapter and indeed it does only output 5v when i connect a non quick charge device.
[Windows 8 General] vgiozo:
Tronsmart here, announced its own version of QuickCharge, compatible with ALL mobile devices, named VoltIQ

http://www.tronsmart.com/voltiq

So this should work with all devices and I see that its 2-3port hubs bear both types of ports. e.g.

http://www.tronsmart.com/tronsmart-w2pte-type-c-quick-charger-3.0-dual-ports-rapid-wall-charger (2 port)

http://www.tronsmart.com/products/tronsmart-42w-quick-charge-3-0-usb-wall-charger-black (3 port)

So it all comes down now to the compatibility of cables...

EDIT:

Unfortunately I now noticed that VoltIQ only functions in the 5V scale, offering varying amperage output there....it is only Qualcomm Quickcharge that offers 12V/1.5A
[Windows 8 General] HypoTurtle:
I think I may have been wrong earlier with the calculations regarding the voltage booster, I was using the max A from a PC usb plug (0.5A) rather than a mains; the usb standard has max of 2.1A (quickcharge goes off-standards to use 3A); that would mean ~10W of power; so with booster ~0.8A at 12V if 100% efficient; so it could work I guess.
[Windows 8 General] kaotikb:
Maybe something like this would work better: https://www.amazon.ca/Anker-20000mAh-Multi-Voltage-Portable-Notebooks/dp/B00B45EOYS

The description states that it is compatible with various laptop models, ipad , iphone, android phones , and digital cameras. Also has a toggle switch for voltage selection.

I finally managed to get Remix OS working (with touch and wifi):

1) Download Remix OS Beta from HERE (Make sure you download the latest Beta 2.0.102 from March 1st).

2) Install as usual on a second partition.

3) Boot at least once, do initial setup until you see the desktop.

4) Download THIS modified Kernel and system.img. It is not my work, I found it on the Chinese Jide Forums. Took quiet some time do download because of the terrible Chinese filehost and the fact that I do not speak Chinese.

5) Extract the archive, replace kernel and system.img in the "RemixOS" folder on your Remix OS partition

6) PROFIT!
[Windows 8 General] buzz86us:
Does the battery indicator work now? What type of extra partition did you have to make?
[Windows 8 General] h0l:
Battery indicator is working. I did no extra partition, maybe you misunderstood. I just did a fresh install on a partition next to the Windows one.

By the way, right now I am testing a modified installer that will give you a pre-rooted install with all drivers working. As soon as I can confirm it actually works, I will upload it.

EDIT: Here you go: DOWNLOAD

We do already have a version of Remix beta - I've tried to consolodate things here.

Do you mind posting a few things from that one...

output of uname -a

/etc/init.sh file

and/or contents of /lib/modules
[Windows 8 General] abydosan:
Greetings,

I have this machine and I thought, this tablet is powerful for my secondary PC on my streams. I play on my desktop PC and this tablet will streaming my game. I have a capture card, in theory this is a working idea. But, this tablet is not enough to use OBS (streaming software)... but really this tablet is enough, because if the CPU is working on 1.6 Ghz, the stream is fine and excellent. But this is a random and a very short time, I don't undertand why (maybe this is a power or heat saving things?) the CPU goes back to 0.8 ghz or below and I can't use this machine.

Can I fix it or I need go back this machine to the shop? I hope I can use any CPU speed fixing, the battery saving setups is not fixing the problem. Thank you!
[Windows 8 General] buzz86us:
I don't have any working touch.. is there something i have to do? Also for root the binary won't update..
[Windows 8 General] HypoTurtle:
Can you post the output's I asked for earlier:

uname -a > /data/media/0/ROS.txt

ls -R /lib/modules/ >> /data/media/0/ROS.txt

cat /etc/init.sh >> /data/media/0/ROS.txt

And post /sdcard/ROS.txt

The touchscreen is probably missing the init.sh fix i.e. if you reboot from Windows instead of a shutdown, you need to rmmod i2c_hid && modprobe i2c_hid for it to detach from Windows or something and reattach. For the root binary you are probably using the stock initrd which has system forced ro (for OTA purposes); you can take the initrd from the systemless root section here and replace the one you are using.
[Windows 8 General] buzz86us:
Followed everything and now I have full root capabilities along with touch my one final gripe is no way to rotate the screen .. is that doable?
[Windows 8 General] HypoTurtle:
Bottom of the OP - additionally you may need to replace the rotation libs (copy found here)

was meaning to add some screenshots to that post but haven't got round to it; you can see in some of the other screenshots that I have rotation though...
[Windows 8 General] buzz86us:
do i put the file somewhere in the install within windoze or is this something i do in android?
[Windows 8 General] HypoTurtle:
It's all within android. (/system/build.prop for the tablet-mode; /system/lib/hw and /system/lib64/hw for the rotation libs).

Just for completeness:

wifi / rotation will need to be fake 'hotplugged' after standby/sleep

#rmmod 8723bu && modprobe 8723bu

Got my i7stylus a couple of weeks ago. It came with windows 10 and I did a fresh installation of it and most things are working fine, a copepr shim under the heatsink works wonders too.

Nice got it working thanks Hypnoturtle!!!

---------- Post added at 01:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:07 AM ----------

is the final bit necessary? it looks like i can just turn it on and off via the experimental features section..
[Windows 8 General] HypoTurtle:
Unfortunately yes (I haven't checked out the ROM you're running though); I could use a look at those logs to check for noticeable differences to the one I'm running.

The reason why is I think on suspend those devices have power cut/lowered but are still attached and don't automatically restart/gain power to work properly again; but not 100% on the reason; pretty sure the switch won't work here. Try it and see ==> put in sleep/standby mode; check auto-rotation; check the switch.

There is a little work mentioned earlier on this thread trying to automate this with a script, but the simplest way would be add just those commands to a script and run it as/when needed.
[Windows 8 General] buzz86us:
I tried to do the script to return rotation function after putting it in standby, but it looks like i have to restart every time i want to have rotation active.. i wish there was a way to just use an app to change the orientation as i choose..i tried a few and none of them work.. I am a comic book reader so i kinda want this feature.

Wish the boot loader didn't require a usb keyboard to just tap down to remix os
[Windows 8 General] HypoTurtle:
Any chance you typed the #, those are just notation meaning run as root. Rotation Apps should also work; once you've turned off the forced landscape.

Yea keyboard is kind of a bummer; only other options would be setting grub timeout to 1 and switching top entry and/or using EasyUEFI to one time boot grub, when you need it.
