So I'm beatin my head up against this again :-( The thing is that I've finally found a purpose for it. My brother reads a lot of comic books and was commenting the other day about how he wants to read some Lawrence Watt-Evans books on it. I have some in my Calibre Library and copied them over to an external hardrive and brought them over to bro's computer and mounted the G78 and moved the files over. It won't see them in any of the file explorers or in aldiko. :( So I restarted hoping that would help and nope, it still isn't seeing any files I've moved over. After investigating, I've found that of the items that show up in the base of the sd card, the docs show up in Documents to Go, but they are in the same directory as the downloads and dcim folders. It's weird to me.... What am I doing wrong?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mindwave:
android has its VERY own set of "default" directories

and android apps have THEIR own separate set of default directories

and never the 2 shall meet

it took me a LONG time to determine what went where.

Sorry if Im telling you what you already know, but as far as I know aldiko will ONLY look in 1 place to "IMPORT" books.

BUT thats ok, because I stopped using it when my wife noticed that ever page shifted farther and farther left, until by the end of a chapter you only had 1/2 a page displaying.

now it correrced on the next chapter but, I use IREADER

simple small and flexible

however for cbr or comic files, you will probably want a dedicated comic reader app. If you search the thread, there used ti be as bunch of guys who were using them./\

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jillora:
You know that's one of the reasons I really didn't like Aldiko at first. Even when I put books in the right folder, it wouldn't seem them. It has improved since then and now it'll look wherever you want it to on the sd card and you only need to check the box beside the folder to add those books to your bookshelves. This makes it so much more user-friendly. I used to have to open epubs in Astro and tell it to open them with Aldiko to force Aldiko to see the books that were right there in thye ebooks directory. :-) memories.

My brother does have ireader on the device as well, but I'd never heard of it and ignored it. Maybe I should have checked it out. Still, I have a dedicated ereader and aldiko is used mainly for times when I don't have the eink device with me.

My main problem with the Gentouch is that it won't see the files moved over via usb in any of the 3 file explorers loaded onto it. My HD2(2.2 and sometimes 2.3), Behold 2(1.6), and Archos 5(1.6) never had this problem. If you moved a file onto the sd card, any file explorer would see it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mindwave:
Jill what version of aldiko are you using?

apparently I need an upgrade

as far as the files being moved.

2 questions:

1) what file extension are they?

2) are you useing a 'rooted' exploere?

my new augen should be waiting when i get hime, so maybe i can test it this weekend

Simple flashing or romming

I just got an Augen today and have been trying to flash a new rom onto it and have been having problems with it not side loading .apk files and it does not want to install the .zip files for a rom upgrade. I was doing it from the recovery mod as well. Does anyone think it is possible to load a nice rom like firefly3.0 to this device?

Directions & Files Needed

Can someone supply me with the correct files and directions needed to flash my GT78 v2. All the files links I keep finding are dead or it says page does not exists i.e. 404 errors. The newer file and directions would be greatly appreciated. I would like it to be as simple as possible if that works. :) I would like to just download the files, load them on my SD card, boot into recovery, load the new recovery, and then load the new ROM i.e. would like to use Firefly or Honeycomb. The recovery that loads now is the "Android system recovery <2e>" it says to apply sdcard: update_intson_android.zip when I go to apply the update.zip file I have it starts to run, then before it finishes it says, "Restoring stock clockworks recovery image, auto reboot". :confused: Many thanks for the someone who can help me out.

USB Hosting drive

Hello can anybody help me to get my usb hosting to work with hooking up an external keyboard? Would very much appreciate it. Thanks
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jillora:
I'll have to check it out when I get home(didn't think of it at all this long weekend :-). I'm using Aldiko v2.0.2. It's was pretty much unuseable for me when it couldn't find side-loaded books and I could never understand why people liked it, but it's now my go-to Android ebook reader to the point I no longer look for alternatives and have pretty much converted the majority of my ebooks to epub since Aldiko and my sony reader can both read them.

1. It's not seeing any documents I've loaded onto the device via usb. This includes pdf, epub, some random comic extension I can't remember, zip, and apk. Now my brother loaded lots of pics and documents onto it already since it's initial purpose was that of something for him to make notes on while on the go at work. As you all know, the touch screen just isn't up to that. I have no idea how he loaded those docs onto it. He could have emailed and downloaded like I had to do to the epubs into Aldiko, or he could have moved them over via usb. I should probably ask him about that. I want to say he said he moved them over via usb when I was complaining about how it wouldn't see the docs I moved over via usb and he said you needed to restart it in order for it to see the new stuff on the sd card, but that never worked.

2. I'll look more into the specific file explorers I'm using. You would think that a manufacturer would make sure little things like being able to find books on your sd card would work. I mean, this thing's been out for a year now.

Thanks in advance for any help or a new direction I can go in to find the answer :-)

II, I just bought a G78 from a daily deal, and i thought I was getting a V2, but the one I received hasa 2.5mm head jack, which I thought they changed in V2.

can you tell me what FW or serial ID youre using to determine yours is Gen2, so I can look at mine?

thanks

reply

J.

I bought mine from 1daysales.com. I asked in the comments box while ordering which version I would be getting? and they replied to me that it would be a version 2. But the S/N: is 7800ATP71341007005795 but i also have the same headphone jack. Not to pleased with it at the moment "out of the box" and don't have the time to spend messing with it to get it the way I want. Good luck with that tho, most links I found don't work for fast customizing or upgrading if you find any post them up please.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kyetan21:
yeah i got mine from dailysteals.com and got lucky it is a v2 the easy way to tell if it is, is the 3.5mm headphone jack and a white power button. though i sued the updates i found through here and luckily it didnt brick, though honestly it feels like im running off my old tmobile g1 running over powered eclair on it. also 1saleaday is selling a SYNET7LP which is also a WIP on XDA. but it has a 1ghz processor.

Though im looking for info on getting a custom rom

HELPP it don't want to turn on!!!!

OK,i have found the drivers. But the problem is the tablet didn't want to turn on. I've just get it fromm my friend, I just install one application from market (not android market),it is android assistant. I've tried enter recovery,it's ok then I reboot to homescreen. When it was plugged on my laptop,it turned off suddenly then it didn't want to turn on. The battery is about 60%,I pressed reset but the screen was still blank.Since I got this tablet, it haven't be bumped or dropped into floor
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bmszabo:
Have you tried hard resetting (with pin in the hole) together with pushing, holding the second button on the back? This should bring you in the recovery menu; while in the recovery menu, connecting to your pc would be enough to be able to start up the recovery, as described in the attached pdf file -at least it worked for me in the same situation.. Good luck!

got my version 1 working really nice

I snagged a refurbished v1 GT78 at a daily deal site for $59.99. Once I got it I

1. Installed Linc's v3 Augen update

2. Booted into clockwork and did a nandroid backup

3. Installed Linc's google apps update in clockwork

4. Completed the google setup with my account info

At that point everything synced and I was able to access the market without having to do any of the market fixes. Ive been able to install apps over the last couple of days with no issues.

5. I installed setcpu using the settings file at the augen dev wiki site

6. I replaced the stock launcher with LauncherPro

7. I installed the V6 Supercharger script with Script Manager. I had first come across this script when I had an old Droid Eris, the performance of the GT78 reminded me of the Eris. I ran the script and have been experimenting with the Aggressive #3 setting and the Gaming setting. So far the gaming setting has given me the fastest, smoothest response.

8. I experimented with turning off the screen transitions and found that it actually made things more laggy so I put them back at normal and everything is fine.

Im pretty happy with the setup as it is now although I'm going to tinker with it some more. My phone is a Droid Incredible, I got the GT78 so I could have a larger screen to read and surf the web and its working great for that. Videos are playing smoothly and so does music and streaming radio. Im really pleased so far!

Thanks to all for the great suggestions on this thread and the excellent files.

dan, thats awesome, I've had mine for a few weeks now (probably same site) and I havent had time to upgrade anything, but I may start again...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mindwave:
ONe question though. How did you "know" it was a V1?

I asked a while back and didnt get an answer, I thought all the V2's had the 3.5 audio port but I wasnt sure if that was a "set in stone" way to determine it

j
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] danrodz:
The whole process wasn't very hard, there isn't a whole lot of steps you need to take and whoa, what a difference it makes!

From what I've gathered the v2 has the 3.5mm jack, the power button lights up and isn't black. I've also read the v2 has a working accelerometer. Mine has none of these.

As I get used to it I'm finding more pleasant to use. I plan on looking for more compatible tweaks, trying out alternate keyboards and swapping the 2.5mm jack for a 3.5mm one. Maybe also looking into a larger capacity battery. I'd love to get a capacitive touch screen on here as well.

Need update_intson_android.zip for version two Augen 78.

I got one of Augen’s GENTOUCH 78 Tablet PC 2nd version with white power button and Éclair 2.1 OS. After checking it out for two whole weeks, I goofed by flashing: update_intson_android.zip (64 MB) and now it is stuck at the opening 'GENTOUCH by Augen' screen. Yes, I can get into recovery utility mode, but I need the correct update_intson_android.zip the recovery keeps on asking for — no, I am not new to recovery, having successfully download and flashed lots of custom ROM including GingerBread 2.3.3 on my Samsung Moment 1.5, which I have had since November 2010.

I would greatly appreciate any help I can get to move-on from where my Augen screen is frozen. Thanks.

Augen Gentouch78 (Version 2, White Power Button, 3.5mm Headphone jack)

Possibly for other Telechips or ARMV6 Android devices that don't work with other APK's out there...

Pineone Flash Player Lite

Instructions:

Put the three files in /lib/ into your /system/lib/ directory. I used ADB Shell.

They should end up like

/system/lib/libflashlite_jni.so
/system/lib/libflashlitepackage.so
/system/lib/libflashliteplugin.so

Then install the APK!

It runs terrible and is unstable and crashes. I tested it with a flash cartoon and megavideo... better than nothing right?

Found this off some forum, no idea what is it or where it's from... if it's not legit/against the rules, sorry mods, I'm trying to help the community.

I can dump you a rom if you guide me through it. I don't know how. Augen is dead so there's not really any V2 support. I am on the stock eclair, with goofball modifications.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Anboy:
The link below helped a lot in understanding the process, however, it appears useless when it comes to V2 frozen bootup screen; because only a micro SD card with the correct update_intson_android.zip file is acceptable to the recovery utility.

Augen Gentouch NBA7800ATP

I have the 7" Table PC where it should be tablet on the book.

So far I have tablet not responding to power. I have to press power 15 times to get any response. I land on a screen that gradually fades from gray to white-out. I got it to come up to android one time, then it restarted by itself. Is this a firmware issue or should I just consider it dead? I haven't seen anyone with my issue. I tried to reset the device to use adb or os update but only get the white screen. I know this is an ancient forum but maybe someone still has one that can help me out. Augen is extinct so no support is available.

I'm trying to modify some stuff in the boot.img file on my gentouch78 (v1) but for the life of me I can't get one that will actually boot and I think it's because the "--base" option that I'm using is wrong.

split_bootimg.pl gives me:

Page size: 4096 (0x00001000)
Kernel size: 4137184 (0x003f20e0)
Ramdisk size: 824428 (0x000c946c)
Second size: 0 (0x00000000)
Board name:
Command line: console=-ttySAC0 androidboot.hardware=tcc92xx
Writing boot.img-kernel ... complete.
Writing boot.img-ramdisk.gz ... complete.

and based off some stuff I've found around the web I think I should be using the following to recreate the boot.img:

mkbootimg --kernel boot.img-kernel --ramdisk newramdisk.gz --cmdline "console=-ttySAC0 androidboot.hardware=tcc92xx" -o new_boot.img --base 0x40000000

Anyhow, the boot.img that creates won't actually boot the tablet - it never makes it to the tuz screen. I've also tried omitting the --base, 0x4DC00000, 0x49800000, and 0x40008000 (I got those from looking at the source for the kernel off the telechips site). I'm just hoping someone will know... anything about this.
