Pressure Sensitive Compatible apps in Android

Which apps do you use and are pressure sensitive in android ?

Did you try sketchbook for android so see if it has pressure sensitivity for this tablet and stylus?

Windows Activation

Hi - I'm looking for help. I bought this tablet from Gearbest last year (Dual Boot 64GB)

Recently it failed to boot up in either.

I had been having some power down issues and Windows failed first with the APCI-BIOS-ERROR

So I followed the guides in this thread to reinstall the dual boot BIOS, then Android and finally Windows 10. ( I installed Windows 10 Home fro the Microsoft USB media creation tool)

It all seemed to go OK but Windows now won't automatically activate and I don't know what my product key was. Any suggestions as to what I should do next (I have emailed Gearbest and Cube but am waiting for any reply)

My camera also isn't recognised in Android or Windows.

More annoyingly the stylus works in Windows when I boot up but after a few minutes it fails to work. Just opening the Wacom Pen software starts it working again.

Any help on the Windows Activation would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

I'm about to buy this tablet but I have no idea if it gets insanely hot like my Cube i7 Stylus.

I seriously need to know that because I'm an artist, and although my i7 stylus has been amazing for art, the fact that it gets so hot just for being turned on is uncomfortable at best. It even left marks on my bedsheets from the times when I was too lazy to sit on my desktop

So yeah, does this tablet get hot during normal use? and if so, how much?
[Windows 8 General] Brom2:
I use mine many hours every day at university and although I can feel it getting warm I wouldn't consider it hot. I'm in energy saving mode most of the time though. Also make sure that the cpu power is enough for you, mine sometimes lags in OneNote and since it has only emmc opening a program takes like 10s.
[Windows 8 General] albert-alphonse:
Power-safe mode makes everything a ton more slower. Try testing for a day the tablet in high performance at full brightness using a bunch of stuff? That's like the best way to test if the tablet gets hot or not. Also how warm does it get, like, "using a smartphone" kind of warm? or a bit more??

CSP can even run in a potato, so that's fine to me.

Also my tablet (Cube i7 Stylus) gets a bit less hot when I put it in balance or power-safe mode, but the pen strokes lag like hell. Also it is still hellishly hot, so yeah, not a big solution to my issue haha
[Windows 8 General] Luckzzz:
Cube iWork11 or Cube iWork1x ????

Which one is better? I'm an artist and I would choose the standard iwork11 because it has pressure sensivity.

Anyone confirms that iWork1x doesn't have it???

Hello,

Thanks for the instructions. I have the tablet delivered to me already in a dual boot state with the Windows 10 Home installed.

There was no need to delete/reinstall the Android image as it was booting fine. I needed to change Windows 10 Home to Windows 10 Pro edition. So I created a Windows 10 x64Bit Pro bootable USB created from Rufus as below

After that I booted the tablet , and pressed F7 while the boot process to select the correct UEFI_Window10_USB entry to boot.

The windows setup started and boots, after all screens when I reached the available partition list (by choosing custom install) . I deleted all partitions after Partition 12(Label:System). So all space became allocated. The space size is 45.7GB. I select the unallocated space to go on with the install.

However the windows installation fails at the first step of copying files with the below error shown in a dialog box.

Windows Detected that the EFI system partition was formatted as NTFS. Format the EFI system partition as FAT32 and restart the installation.

I m not sure why this error is showing up. The Windows 10 USB install flash is formatted as FAT32 (as shown in the image above) and I am not touching any other android or other system default partitions.

I am using a USB 3.0 Hub to connect a wireless USB Mouse/Keyboard and the USB flash disk to the tablet.

The OS ID in BIOS settings is set to Windows 10 before starting the installation.

Any guidance as how to move forward with the windows installation would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I've given up on this tablet as a dual boot device. After having to reinstall everything a number of times. It works for a few weeks or months even but then crashes again. First WIndows and then usually Android afterwards.

Is there any way to make the tablet Android only?

My tablet is an i8T

Hello ,

It has happened to me yesterday , that during my working in Android web browser, the screen suddenly went off and the tablet went for a restart, after which I was neither able to boot into windows or android. I was shown a screen stuck to EFI shell on startup. The mapping shows only blk0, blk1, blk2 with all values "0". Pressing the small power button does only gives me a shell prompt. Seems like the whole Windows and Android partitions and their mapping has bee wiped off, with no way to recover the data.

This makes me very shaky and doubtful on the performance of this tablet, I do have backup of my data, as the tablet is not my primary device, however it can land into trouble with sudden uncertain crashed.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9d3o484fr_3dkhOd3dqM1gtaFU/view

I would like to know were you able to restore the tablet to the dual boot configuration or did you have to wipe and reinstall everything from the scratch.

Thanks.
[Windows 8 General] gn3dr:
Hi

No I wasn't able to restore my tablet. I messed around with the BIOS but it seems that it had lost it's main memory. Then I changed something PCI related in the BIOS and after that I could no longer even get the screen to operate, although it does vibrate on pressing the power button. So I bought a BIOS flash programmer but that failed also as the program was unable to see the chip. So I pretty much gave up at that point and ordered a Chuwi Hi Pro 10 Plus which I haven't received yet. The experience with the Cube was very disappointing because it was a promising device - just let down by very poor support from Cube and obviously a design fault also as a lot of people seem to be having similar issues.
[Windows 8 General] HyperEscape:
Well I recently faced a crash on my Cube Iwork 11 while using android. It simply shut down during normal usage and afterwards whether i select windows or android during the startup selection screen I was given an EFI Shell screen with BLK Storage ID as null. I suppose the storage was totally wiped out all of a sudden.

Like yourself I also made a full (all partitions Android + Windows) Macrium backup on my external drive (it was around 25GB if I recall ). But I am unable to make any good use of this backup image. When I tried booting thru Macrium boot USB and selected this image to be restored, I was shown only with a 7.8GB VID Internal Volume to restore the image to, of course the macrium informed that there is insufficient space to restore the full image, hence I was unable to proceed forward and make a mess of an already messed up system.

I probably will try to do a fresh install , but it would painstakingly slow and lengthy since I had all my Windows and Android app installed and properly set up.

I was wondering can you please help and post the instructions, if you were able to successfully create and restore a full backup image of all partitions, maybe I would know where am I missing. Are there any specific BIOS settings, I got my unit pre-flashed with the dual boot BIOS, hence I have not fiddled much with the BIOS, plus the BIOS in these units is already crammed with a plethora of unknown or advanced non user friendly settings.

Appreciate your guidance for the same.
[Windows 8 General] drguild:
There is a storage issue with these tablets.

If everything comes up null you have run into it, just like I did a whole after I made this posts.

I did get my data back from rebooting multiple times to eventually load up macrium reflect with the drives showing but it's a slim chance that will take many tries.

In the end I got the tablet replaced from where I bought it from after a couple months waiting, and unsurprisingly I sent back the keyboard and pen with it which was never returned to me as they claimed those extras were never sent.

So your best bet is a return and replacement or get a different tablet as these have a hardware storage issue.
[Windows 8 General] HyperEscape:
Sending it back from my place to China (AliExpress Seller) and again expecting a return in time would be almost as costly as buying a new one. Plus I didnt check the seller's warranty note, however will do.

Reading this and at another forum, I came to the same conclusion that Cube iwork11 has EMMC storage problem. However i was delighted for a short while , when I saw a video of upgrading the storage on Cube iwork7 which has M2 SSD storage. I thought that maybe Iwork 11 would also have the same and I can simply buy and try to swap a SSD disk. My illusion was short lived, as I tried to pry open Iwork11 and found out that the EMMC storage from FOSMEE (or something simlar) is soldered to the main board. See the pictures.

Hence nothing can happen now to revive this tablet back to life. I feel badly ripped off, it was hardly two months since i bought it for my professional work.

Since i have opened it and know how to replace, is it any possibility that from any place we can just buy the motherboard, maybe via a website or a personal shopper who can look around in the factories and can buy and send. The motherboard model as visible in pictures, is EM_H8311 V2.1 (which I got to know is common for these B/C grade tablets).

Any alternative in case I want to spend again. I need a dual OS, with screen size range of 10+ , with Wacom stylus. Seems like the only other option is Chuwi Hi 10 Pro, but it comes with its own demerits of only having USB C and Micro USB port (which maybe

ok for some other folks). Anyone who has Hi 10 Pro - can you share your thoughts about its quality and performance.

Thanks, am still open to experiment with this dead unit, maybe make it only android or windows. The tablet can still see only 7G of storage and not the full 64GB. Any guidance would be appreciated.

stuck with EFI screen

Hey Guys ,

I had same issue where I was using Android OS and suddenly the tablet restarted and then has been stuck on the EFI shell screen since then.

I have been following this thread and have seen few people asking for steps to install Android only OS.

PLEASE... someone help with steps to install Android only OS.

Also i do not have keyboard for this tablet what will be best way to reformat it to android only OS.

please help
[Windows 8 General] HyperEscape:
I was also looking to resort to this solution of making it only Android. However haven't found a clue.

To my understanding I guess even the stock android image is around 12GB. After the disaster the tablet somehow only shows 7GB of storage even that without a partition table. I tried booting live linux USB and Gparted and even that 7GB of space seems unusable as it doesnt have a valid MBR or GPT partition structure and apparently one cannot be defined at least on my unit. I tried using the usb with WINPE image of android in the root , and booting the tablet with it to have the installer.sh file do the android image flash, however the installer fails with the message of having 7GB space while 12GB needed.

I am talks with AliExpress seller , who is asking me to send it back for repairs, however the cost of sending, the reliability of repairs, and similar other so many questions remain unanswered.

Hoping for some expert advice to revive or make it android only if possible, which seems to have slim chances anyways.

Thanks.

The EMMC used in this tablet is this family

I am unable to find it anywhere online for sale.

Any ideas if we can (and from where) procure a similar or maybe 128G EMMC and can replace it using SMT workstation.

I have seen and read other post on XDA about EMMC replacement for mobile phone and apparently it has worked. Any ideas if it is a doable procedure for Cube iwork 11 and what will be chances of success (probably high if the bootloader is not residing on the EMMC itself).

Thanks for your ideas.

My iwork11 i'ts definitely dead.

Device map table show only blk0, blk1 and blk2. , and the hard reset ( by pressing button about 30s or pressing hole button) does not solve the problem.

The other time it happened, with the hard reset I could reinstall the Android disk image and install Windows. This time it will not be possible.

Due the large number of incidents of this type (see this thread), I do not recommend purchase.

[Windows 8 General] HyperEscape:
Well I am on to an adventure of getting it fixed somehow with all help and information available online. If I am able to make any success I will post here. For me Its definitely not going to be cheap(ish) - for everyone else YMMV depending on your location and experience with DIY electronics.

I wanted to give it a shot instead of buying a same or another model tablet and making a perfectly working tablet bite the dust in my drawer. I got discouraging response from the AliExpress seller I bought it from, plus they were not sure if they can arrange a replacement motherboard or EMMC chip in case I would have born the cost of sending it back to China.

Anyways keeping fingers crossed, hold on for updates.

Hello

I have this tablet (the second one after the first got efi problem) and now I realize that it has some battery issue, it suddenly turns off with a high % of battery remaining.

I think is software-related because sometimes it lasts longer, and if I get into BIOS menu and leave it ON, battery lasts several hours.

I have dual os but I would like to get single Android or windows, I don't mind one or another, and try the performance a battery life.

Is there any tutorial to get any single is ROM? Official or unoffici!.

Thank you!
[Windows 8 General] HrCorreia:
Hello

Like so many, I also got afected by the dead emmc memmory, but in my case, some times the chip is dead, some others it works for hours.

As I never knew when it was going to work properly, I ended giving up on the tablet. Until a couple of days a go I came a cross an article talking about a new feature that window 8 had, the Windows to Go, that would allow Windows enterprise useres to create a fully functional portable version of Windows in a certifeied USB pen drive.

Well as I don't have Windows entreprise nor a certifeied USB pen drive, I needed another way to do this.

After a lot of research I did manage to find a work arround, witch I shall explain.

So what is needed to do this.

- a Windows based pc or laptop

- Windows 10 ISO file, the install version that has all the drivers preloaded will not work

- Cube iwork 11 Windows drivers

- 64gbs USB pen drive, a 32gbs will work but it will to full to work shortly, if you can, use a 3.0 USB pen drive as it will be much faster

- USB 3.0 adapter that came with the tablet, if you don't have one buy it the usability of the system is uncomprably better

- wintousb that can be downloaded from www.easyuefi.com

1- install the wintousb in your othe computer.

2- run wintousb, select your Windows 10 ISO, when the program ask you the kind of install select the efi and not the mbr this one will not boot.

3- Them select your USB pen drive, in teh installation mode, select VHD, VHDX will not boot, and legacy is for older devices.

4- now wait a lot of time, depending on your pc.

5- After finishing, connect the pen drive to your tablet and press F7 to select the pen. The first boot will take a long time.

6- Install all the drivers

7- Use your resurected iWork11.

Note, I totally recomend using a USB 3.0 64gbs or 128gbs, a 32gbs will work but the system will not be stable. It's also possible to use a 2.0 usb drive, but the system will be very slow for most of the tasks.

Using this "hack" you can use your tablet normally, but be carefull not to touch your pen drive, because the system crash, and you will lose your work. Is possible to play the same games you played before, but the loading times will take longer.

Installing Linux

You will need a keyboard and a external Ethernet or Wifi connector might be helpfull. Since you aren't allowed to draw more than 200mA from the micro USB 3.0 Port I would recommend using the original keyboard dock (which allso features 2 full sized USB 2.0 Ports). If you don't have the keyboard, use a USB-hub with external power-supply. You can allso try using a verry simple usb keyboard and a microSD to boot from (never tryed that myself).

To boot from USB you need to attach a EFI-enabled USB-Drive to your tablet. (scroll down for more info)

Shut down completely.

To check, if the tablet is successfully shut down, I attach the power-connector. If you press the louder-button on the tablet, it should show the loading status on sceen (nice feature, in my opinion :) ).

Next you need to boot into the BIOS:

Press the Power-Button while holding the Louder-Button or jam the Delete-Key on your Keyboard. In Bios change the boot priority to boot from usb. Then save & reboot.

Remember: you will need to change the BIOS-Setting every time you plug off / change the USB!

If you managed to install GRUB in the MBR it will use that as Default. In the BIOS the Windows-Partition is shown as extra boot-option next to GRUB.

So, if the device is booting Windows, although you installed Linux successfully - check the boot-order in your Bios.

Using the Debian-multiarch-iso i managed to install a successfully bootable System.

You dont need to modify this iso, it's allready bootable by EFI and will be able to install 32bit Linux.

[ cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/stretch_di_alpha5/multi-arch/iso-dvd ]

The dual-iso from Arch-Linux should also work.Arch by default not even booting from Stick...

However, X-Server is not yet functioning.

Only software-grafik is working. No 3D.

Therefore some modern desktop enviroments might not work (Gnome, Cinnamon, Unity...).

XFCE is working fine on my system.

Nearly everything incompaible by now. :D

Touch, Pen, Wifi and Bluetooth not working.

You need to modify your boot stick like explained here:

sturmflut.github.io/linux/ubuntu/2015/01/21/installing-ubuntu-15.04-on-baytrail-tablets

create a boot-stick the way, you want to (for example use unetbootin or Rufus)

create /EFI/BOOT/ folder on the stick

put bootia32.efi into this folder

for example get [ github.com/jfwells/linux-asus-t100ta/blob/master/boot/bootia32.efi ]
