Can someone help me out here? I'm trying to solve my wallpaper issue (every wallpaper I add is being stretched beyond the edges of the screen).

I found wallpaper_info.xml using root explorer. Inside it lists the wallpaper width at "1152" and the height at "1024".

I've tried changing the values to read a width of "1024" and a height of "600", but after I save my changes, they get reset to their old values.

Anyone know how to make the change permanent?

my youtube app become wired.

Great Job !

After all things done ... my youtube app become wired.

only sound .. no video.

Why ?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] <Laharl>:
Can you tell me the steps for this over USB?

because I can log in over usb right now for shell and adb but no drivers work for flashing and I already have 0818 on the tablet.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jdsemler:
I put in the new libdvm.so in Plurkis's link, and added this setting to the last line of my /system/build.prop:

dalvik.vm.execution-mode=int:jit

In addition to the above, I recommend you find this line in your /system/build.prop file:

ro.sf.lcd_density=160

and change it to this:

ro.sf.lcd_density=120

The tablet runs good, and the increased LCD density really works well for me on this 1024x600 screen! :)

Now, if only I could figure out why the Kindle app has such trouble downloading my books. The downloads keep failing (on some, not all, but only the ones I want it seems) with an Invalid Book notice, but it was doing that before these changes too.

as it wasen't any 3G module i just try to share via Wifi My HD2 3G connection but it wasen't seen by the ZT-180, so do i have to make the ad'hoc modification and if i do that could keep my classic wifi connection or do i have to params each time ?

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bignikescar:
thanks for ur work.

I just checked that with version 0.9, I could use android market without market-enabler. gmail and google talk are also working :)

thanks for your work. your work is very astonishing. without the work, my wiipad would be just an expensive toy.

but one thing I couldnt use voice or mike? how I could fix that?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Christian Buchner:
I would also like to thank you for your work.

One word of caution: Sometimes installing a custom boot animation can have devastating effects on system performance. I installed the lovely "peeing android" boot animation found in this thread: h_t_t_p://w_w_w.droidforums.net/forum/droid-hacks/36447-new-droid-peeing-apple-boot-animation-3.html

But I experienced that the system would have drastically lower performance on the desktop when using this animation, to the point where it becomes unusable. I suspect some kind of graphics driver bug here.

So from now on I stick with the standard boot animation.

Several more questions:

What widgets did you place on your RPM desktop? I was able to find most of the apps you had (that's really a nice selection), but I was never able to get your widgets to show up correctly.

How do you get the Pandora app to play? On my device (epad ZT-180) the app briefly phones home on startup, only to inform me that my device ("p7901a") was not supported. Did you change your device name in /system/build.props ?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] balpeter:
Market is working flawlessly. It downloads the apps and installs them immediately. Fantastic work! Congratulations! With the new script it is easier to install the Market and Gmail ever thought.

Android the best! :D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jdsemler:
If you go into Spare Parts (available free in the market but was already on my tablet) and uncheck Compatibility Mode, it works.

rpm,

here is a working contacts and contactsprovider.

hth.

Also - in your new script - to install the busybox you have

..\adb shell /system/xbin/busybox --install /system/xbin

I believe it should be :

..\adb shell /system/xbin/busybox --install -s /system/xbin

Thanks!

When I do netcfg I can see the ppp0 interface is up with the assigned IP address.

In your case the pppd daemon is terminating. Check system messages with dmesg to try to find the cause.

Hi all,

another Zenithink user here, and I have two questions...

As a Mac user I can not use the burntool to install a firmware update, and altough I have virtualbox with a 32 bit Windows XP installation, it doesnt work, as the Windows installation does not find the USB driver for the tablet.

Now did I Google somewhere that you can also install from SD card, which I have not tried, but does and how does it worK?

Other thing is, what with the 0.9 version which everybody is talking about, is it a new release on the 818 version? Where to find it? (And how to install it as a Mac user)...

Willem
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] <Laharl>:
is there a way to adb over usb and make the market work?

I asked for instructions on how to do this before but didnt get a reply.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rpmccormick:
I could not get BurnTool to work on a VM either. I had to pull out an old 32-bit laptop I never use. As for my script, it just runs a bunch of ADB commands. It should work in a VM fine (or if adb for mac exists and you can run a .bat script in mac... I have no clue).

ADB will not allow file transfer over the cable, so no... you need to either use the Ethernet dongle or WiFi for my script to work. You could copy all the stuff to sdcard, and then manually move stuff over / issue commands from the device using either some RootExplorer thing or using Terminal with a USB keyboard or BetterTerminal or something with a soft keyboard. Basically you just have to copy everything in my system folder to the device's system folder. Can't ADB over cable though, not with 0818 or before anyway. It will probably be fixed later.

Thanks for Contacts, works great. Once the next version of FW comes out I will release 1.0 which will be fully tested and have a list of ALL known software issues.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] alvesrj:

Hmm, with the -s option busybox creates all the softlinks inside /system/xbin, but when I log onto the device with adb shell my PATH variable looks like this

/sbin:/system/sbin:/system/bin:/system/xbin

which means xbin is not searched until after bin. And inside bin folder there are softlinks to the Android toolbox for some of the common unix shell tools.

# ls -l /system/bin/ls

lrwxrwxrwx audio audio 2010-08-18 05:37 ls -> toolbox

So should we remove those links for commands which are also provided by busybox?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jdsemler:
This isn't a big deal, but does anyone have Amazon.com's app in their Market? I've noticed one or two apps I usually load are not showing up -- USAA and Amazon. (I'm wondering if there's a region/country/location setting somewhere preventing this, because protected apps are definitely showing up.)

The reason I'm concerned is that while I can install the Kindle app and register it to my account, I cannot successfully download books. The app tells me to delete it and try again.

I'm thinking it may be related to the above. Are any of you using your tablet for Kindle books with any luck? When I look at my account, it does show the tablet as a registered device.

Update: And an uninstall and reinstall of Kindle allowed me to download the book I wanted. Still puzzled by the missing Amazon app though.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] prscott1:
xbin is traditionally where devs put their binaries.

If you check the various ones that were created by this version of toolbox, they don't work. I removed /system/bin/cp /system/bin/route /system/bin/ifconfig for starters.

if you issue those commands at shell you'll see what i mean.

I don't advise removing all of them. also - i installed the links in /system/bin and it really blew a lot of my rooted apps up.

...I am sticking with my update scripts until someone else can tell me how to decode/recode the .img files that our ZT-180's use. No body knows how yet and Zenithink won't tell us.

@rpmccormick

just for fun i decompressed an img, thats what i found:

-link destroyed-

the png's are those little circles for scrolling the window left/right

the mov seems to be the start ani

but only 1 zip (File6) was to decompress further:

-link destroyed-

i did it with IsoBuster, a programm to decompress img's from CD's or DVD's...:rolleyes:

seems inside are just normal zip's, the one's i decompressed are only broken because of IsoBuster

so i think we just need to find the correct prog to decompress...

Is there an app to back up the pads apps.. after refashing and put it back all like before 0827 flash to save time
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] TheOmen:
It's probably worth reflashing if you have a 3G card or you want to see if 1080p playback really did improve.

I flashed anyway, just to see what it is like. I don't have 3G or a uSD card big enough to put a 1080p movie on.

I haven't found much of a difference yet.

I am in the process of restoring a backup of all my apps that I performed with Application Manager. It backed them to my SDCard. Worked pretty smoothly but restoring is not automatic, which is okay because there were some apps I didn't want to re-install anyway.

Market is working smoother, I don't get the STK or any other startup errors.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] CrunchyDoodle:
Since the driver that comes with the burntool is not native to Windows, you need to perform a manual driver update. One way to do it is after it tries and fails to load the driver, you go to Device manager and you'll see an unknown device with a yellow ! mark. Right click it and choose Update Driver. Then navigate your way choosing that you will choose the driver and point it at the folder with the burntool and the two driver files. It will then be able to install the driver and you can proceed. In XP there is also an opportunity when the driver fails to auto-install where you could also manually navigate to the folder with the driver files. Either way will work in XP, Windows 7 is easier doing the first way.
