Hello & thanks to @superdragonpt for the efforts to prolong the usable life of this tablet. I have one question - the HW is already very dated and the CPU governor "hotplug" does not help with the responsiveness of the device. Is it possible to change the default to "performance" (or maybe "interactive")? Even if this will shorten the battery life.

I used the terminal in TWRP to change the governor in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/cpufreq/scaling_governor, but apparently Android resets it at boot - even with root and an app to set the governor Android defaults to "hotplug" unless the app is explicitly set to change it at boot...

I am planning to give the tab to a casual user and I really do not like the idea of a rooted device in their hands...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] superdragonpt:
I've noticed this also... GAPPS on this tablet makes it extremely slow.

App updates have been increasing their memory footprints .

Wait for my next release, several issues caused by the low ram ( 1GB only) of this device have been greatly improved ;) ( but don't expect miracles ofc)

nope

Well it does have an ancient BT chip, probably just not compatible with some recent devices, Currently i do not have bt mouse to test it out, works ok with my bt keyboard ...

Yeah you can use Kernel Adiutor app ( or similar app) to change CPU governor on-the-fly, yeah thats normal to default to hotplug at reboot, you could set "x" gov to be set at boot, but you do need to keep the app+root to do that.

Changing default gov to performance isn't an good idea, this is one of those matters where everybody haves their own opinion.

Hotplug can be very conservative indeed, i'll check some govs i've used on other MTK's to see if they can be usable here, i also don't like hotplug that much.

i did already worked a bit on sakuractive gov, for this device, had to do some fixs for it to build and be usable, but i just can't remember why i haven't merged the commit into my main branch... Need to re-check that

cheers

Good day. After installing magisk on a tablet with an LG screen, the tablet reboots cyclically. However, if you flash the kernel again, the tablet will boot again, but without root ... You know how to solve this problem?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] superdragonpt:
I've been testing today, the latest magisk builds.

Tested every build on clean flash:

Builds v24.x and v25.x do NOT work on this device. The inclusion of vmbeta for latest android versions, broke compatibility for older Android versions ( at least for MediaTek)

Magisk v23 works fine, as always

Added this note to F.A.Q.

Hi. After an update my tablet is still turning on randomly after shutting down.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] raby:
This man is more dedicated to keeping this ****ty old tablet alive and updated than I am to my career lmao

Seriously tho, thank you for your efforts, I've been using this tablet as a secondary monitor for years now, it's perfect for keeping discord open on the side :D

The only problem is that it runs out of battery and turns off from time to time, even tho it's constantly plugged in... Am I the only one facing this problem? Hopefully this latest build fixes that, I'll update you on the matter after I flash it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] superdragonpt:
Turning off while it's plugged in?

Well i never faced that issue...

About keeping this tablet alive, well i can now say for sure, that this device is not going to die on an Marshmallow release hehe ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Evg4oxw0lF:
I'm sorry to bother you, but you haven't tested Bluetooth on this tablet. for some reason it does not work for me on the latest firmware version, but it worked properly on the previous one...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] superdragonpt:
Weird ...haven't made any changes on Bluetooth.

I'll check if bt is working on my side ( don't use it that much really)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] superdragonpt:
Thanks for pointing it out, the June 2022 build indeed got Bluetooth broken by mistaque.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] superdragonpt:

[Miscellaneous Android Development] superdragonpt:
Edit. Wrong thread
[Miscellaneous Android Development] superdragonpt:
;)

I can now reveal what has been my main project in development for quite some time ...

Still in Alpha but already got some things working

This has been extremely hard to get it to boot ...

I guess this very very old kernel 3.4.5 was never meant to reach this far haha

cheers
[Miscellaneous Android Development] raby:
Spoiler content hidden.

I'm literally, right now, in the process of updating to the new marshmallow build, should I just wait for a bit for the nugget release? Or is it still too broken at the moment and it'll still take a while? I'm very, very lazy and not a fan of updating my "monitors" every week ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] superdragonpt:
Maybe give it a week or so.

Only a couple days ago i fixed a major issue on the UI crashing all the time.

Cheers
[Miscellaneous Android Development] raby:
Oh nice! Alright, I'll just wait then :)

Btw, I figured out what the problem was with it losing battery while charging: as it turns out, the 10 watts Xiaomi charger is only outputting 2.83 watts, that's definitely not enough juice to keep it alive...

Meanwhile the weaker 5 watts Wiko charger is outputting 5.72 watts, plenty to keep it going... go figure!

Anyway, problem solved ig xD
[Miscellaneous Android Development] grochib:
Hey, thank you very much for your work. It is a shame that without the support of people like you hardware which is still okay wouldn't be useful anymore.

There is an issue though I'm experiencing with this custom OS: since this tablet absolutely doesn't have enough storage I wanted to use an SD card as internal memory. But each time I'm inserting new SD cards (Intenso and Samsung both class 10) I receive the message "new SD card detected" to set it up. When choosing the option to use it as an extension of the internal storage a warning shows up during the format of the SD card (at 60%) mentioning the SD card would be too slow. When discarding this warning and trying to move internal storage to the SD card settings crashes and the SD card needs to be formatted once again. I tried several times without success, even in TWRP. In the end I couldnt use the SD card as internal storage.

I could format it to use it as "normal" SD card (mobile storage it is called in German), though (the first option).

Does anybody have an advice on this? I'm a bit lost...

Thank you very much in advance!

Best
[Miscellaneous Android Development] grochib:
Dear everybody

I just ordered another SD card, Verbatim 32 GB Class 10 U3 (read 90 MB/s, write 45 MB/s). Again, settings says the card would appear to be too slow. After discarding this error message and continuing with moving data to this "new internal storage" settings is crashing. Afterwards, the SD card is shown to be broken...

I'm even more lost now...

Do you think it makes sense to re-install lineage OS?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] grochib:
Can't wait to try this one!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Evg4oxw0lF:
Everyone is waiting for the android 7. Give time to superdragonpt.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] superdragonpt:
@grochib

External storage worked for me on los12.1 and on this los13.

Cannot test it now, since my second test tablet is completely dead (kid broke it) , my main tablet that its still usable, and where i test my builds, doesn't have External Storage working, since i broke the damn thing years ago ( internal connector )when one time i forgot the SDCard inside, opened up the tablet .... fk up)

MicroSD Cards that i used:

Lexar 16GB Class 6

Samsung MicroSD HC 16GB (dunno what's the class)

Know working MicroSD Cards: (from my testers and forum replies)

ADATA 32GB Class 10

Lexar 32GB Class 6

ADATA Premier 64GB MicroSDXC Class10 UHS-1

Sandisk Ultra 64GB MicroSDXC Class10 UHS-1

This tablet can be a bit complicated with 64GB SD's.

32GB would be the max i can safely recommend, as well as medium Class Speed

About Android N:

It keeps getting more and more complicated to forward port MediaTek stuff and old hardware support into newer Android versions.

WiFi seems to ( finally ) be working stable now, this is one of the things that MUST be working. Without WiFi, well its ... just paperweight right?

Working on other stuff, UI doesn't crash now, still a lot of stuff under testing

cheers
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tomrev:
Build 20220718 bluetooth almost work for my tab. It could be paired with Logitech 480 keyboard and generic bluetooth mouse but after that it does not work, mouse could not be clicked or move cursor, keyboard could not type. While active bluetooth, wifi would be temporary unusable. Wifi works again by turn off and on
[Miscellaneous Android Development] superdragonpt:
Probably due to being an ancient base kernel version (3.4) ...

There's no userpace driver for BT HID currently.

I can Probably backport BT HID stuff to this kernel,like Many other stuff i already did.

Since im rebasing the new kernel for Nougat, there was a lot of stuff needed... i'll give a look at this.

I have an idea of what it's missing...

[Miscellaneous Android Development] grochib:
I tried other SD cards:

- SanDisk Ultra microSDXC 64 GB

- Samsung Evo microSDHC 32 GB

- Verbatim Pro microSDHC 32 GB

All with the same result: the format process ends/hangs at 60% saying the card is too slow...

I am really lost....
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ivanmonteiroc:
I think I have the same problem as Jak08.

I have the LG LCM screen (and also the new Hynx HAG2e flash) .

I flashed the LG kernel, which made the screen usable.

But the screen flickers when turned on after sleep (see image below).

The funny thing is the the screen works perfectly during the first boot, and only flickers after it is turned off (either after sleep or press power button).

When I turn off the screen with the power button, then turn it on again, if I'm lucky the flickering disappears.

The same thing happens with LineageOs 12.1 and 13.0. I tested on the latest build of those two LOS versions..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] superdragonpt:
During boot, and until the screen is turned off, this is controlled by the .lk (littlekernel) .

After that its controlled by the kernel driver. So it's not weird at all.

So after turning the screen on. Does the flickering disappears after some seconds?

Also this doesn't happens every single time right?

Since none of my two tablets have this driver my work is kinda limited.

I'm expecting another unit I've bought on ebay, hopefully it haves the LG screen ( the LG screen is much better then the first screen revision by INNOLUX )

Cheers
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ivanmonteiroc:
The flickering does not disappear after some time. Only if I turn the screen off/on (power button) a couple of timnes the flickering disappears (if I'm lucky lol).

Here is a video:

VID_20220831_114952.mp4

drive.google.com

Also this doesn't happens every single time, I think it has a chance of 60% when I turn on the screen to start flicker. 40% chance of not flickering after turning the screen on.

By the way, thank you for all the efort you put into this project! It's no easy task!

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] vma:
Hi,

I am using Vista on my laptop and I own two Universals. They are both MDA Pro versions from Germany and have the latest Tomal 6.1 Firmware.

They have the same software installed and are configured the same way.

My question is this: why does one always get a BlueAngel kind of icon, while the other gets the correct Universal icon within ActiveSync?

I also own a BlueAngel - it gets the correct icon.

This is not limiting any functionality at all, but still it makes me wonder: what's different on one Universal, if I have flashed both with the same ROM?

Cheers,

Hello every one. Really need help with my tablet. Yesterday worked with it, and everything was fine. Left it for 2 days, and today no response from it. tried hard reset with the volume down and power didn't help. Tried to charge it, to charge from computer and nothing. The only clue that I have is when I connect it to the computer I can see at the device manager strange driver : QUSB_BULK. One more clue is that when it connected to the computer, and I'm trying to hard reset I hear from computer speakers that it's turning of and then on. My thought is that the tablet received a new update that bricked it.

Thank you all for help

After reading some forums i have found out that i am not the only one facing this issue.

Hi there,

I've tried a lot of ROM for my oneplus 2 phone and all most every ROM worked flawlessly with every feature that I've needed, but there's one feature that I really really need that I found to be broken on every ROM that I've tried:

Everytime I make a video call on google Duo or WhatsApp using speakers, the other person ears his echo making the call impossible.

I've tried all most every lineage ROMs (the official an unofficial), RR ROM, Pixel ROM, android versions 8.1, 9 and 10...

Does anyone know a fix for this?

This is very annoying and that's the only reason I don't use the phone anymore.

Thank you for your help!

Merry Christmas to everyone and stay safe!

Purchased this case from Amazon USA. I find it to be completely uncomfortable for daily usage. The left and right sides are peaked like a pyramid so less surface area of contact with fingers. The USB cut out is aggressive and extremely sharp around it's corners. The stand appears to be metal on the inside so possible could marr the finish of the device.

$14.99 down the drain. 2 out of 10.

Thanks fellow Brit, appreciate the kind words.

PS, I also owned an Exynos Note 20U, it wasn't that bad, infact looking at my Accubattery Pro screenshots that I had saved , the screen on time on that device was better than my current american snapdragon variant. I bought the usa one because I needed full 4G compatibly otherwise I would have kept the Exynos. There's a lot of hype about the Exynos being turd, comparisons primarily by YouTube influencers that say dumb comments like , would you buy this car if it came with a 1.8l petrol but in america it has 5l v8 for same price BS. 🤣
