Did you try to plug an USB keyboard at that point? Another solution would be to "fix" the firmware for it doesn't think that the device has a physical keyboard, as it does now, then that part of the process should be ignored, I think. But I don't know if that absence of the virtual physical keyboard would affect in any way to the real USB keyboard functionality.

I got stuck there too just after pressing the Android. I then rebooted and touched the four corners. Not too sure if we're talking about the same thing?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bowser84:
so its been a while and instead of starting a new thread i thought i'd just ask in here.

its getting closer to xmas and i really want to get a touchpad device like this can anyone reccomend me anything?

need it to be able to browse youtube and facebook ON THE NET and be able to play facebook games (so needs flash)

i know a few people got flash working on this but since this is going to be for my missus i need something that will do these basic things.

dont care about size.

sorry for the slight OT but really need some help on this one lol

should i just bite the bullet and pick up one of these and give it a go with all the extra roms and such?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jackhill:
Check out the Archos 101. Slightly more expensive but loads more features and better constructed
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jtbnet:
For Busybox it seems to be an easy fix...once you clean up the original mess... You need to execute as '# busybox --install -s /system/bin' to use sym links and to install them in /system/bin...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Christian Buchner:
but the question is whether you need everything in /bin, or some in /sbin - and whether you want to use the busybox sh implementation (it breaks the adb install feature)

Besides all this, I have completely not seen anybody ask if this is Froyo.

So this 929 is still Android 2.1?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] prscott1:
No working tun.ko - until we get kernel source to compile one. I have sent numerous requests to the zenithink devs to include a working tunnel object. I'm disappointed to hear they didn't include it in the this latest release.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hal_9000:
It seems to be working now.

Well, I still get some ANR at startup, but anyway an smaller bootanimation doesn't hurt. ;)

And no, if we get Froyo someday I doubt it comes from Zenithink.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hal_9000:
Something has changed in 0926 about sensors.

The app SensorInfo, on 0827 showed only a "ZT 3-axis Accelerometer" which was not providing any data for X, Y and Z. Now with 0926 SensorInfo shows two more sensors, one is "Android dummy Magnetic field sensor" which is not providing any data neither, and the other is a "ZT Orientation sensor" which always return zero for "pitch" and "roll", but returns "0", "90", "180" and "270" depending on the tablet orientation.

If this is a filtered value to match the four orientations then may be some day we can get accelerometer support, but if these values are the only ones that this sensor can return, then we'll never get accelerometer support.

for a cheesy way to clean it up:

from root shell:

cd /system/bin

for x in `ls -l | grep 690260`

do

rm $x

done

it will do the job but throw some errors. (note that those are backticks and not apostrophes)

Then follow that up with

./busybox --install -s /system/bin

You will gain back your system space.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] p3hndrx:
Hey, everyone--

Thanks for this great discussion.

I just wanted to chime-in with my personal experiences thus far...

I ordered my ZT-180 last week, and immediately applied (with whatever firmware was on it):

adb via TCP/IP

+SuperUser

RPM add-on

and an AndroidID from the 1.6 Emulator (via AVD Manager)

Android Market worked OK for me, but there were some Apps that wouldn't show up.

The apps that I did get to work well were:

AppBrain

FastWebInstaller

ACV (comic reader)

FBReader (ePub)

Transdroid

Pandora (had to load via FastWebInstaller +*.apk)

Wifi Buddy

NetTools

The device itself has been running swell with a few complaints:

1) Wifi doesn't scan/sync consistently

2) Resistive touch isn't touchy enough

3) Memory issues (only 33% ~50MB would ever be free despite using Adv. Task Kill, Startup Mgr)

4) SDCard would get wiped everytime I rebooted

5) In general, a little sluggish. With everything AutoKilled/Memory Optimized), it was actually pretty smooth and acted like it was "supposed" to, but multitasking was a little out of the question.

At any rate......

I JUST applied the 0827 firmware from the Manuf. site. I see that I will have to apply the Android Market fix and all that jazz, so I figure I might as well go with the latest stable firmware.

Any comments or concerns about 0926 before I take the plunge?

Thanks, guys...

-- Peace.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] prscott1:
0929

I burned 0929 ontop of my 0826 rom but left the userdata unchecked when I did the burn.

After I completed the burn and rebooted a couple of times, all I had to do was push Contacts and contactsProvider apks for all gapps to be working happily.

Then I pushed su to system/bin and did the chmod on it.

I cleaned up the busybox in /system/bin per previous post.

My tablet is running better than ever now! the sensors have improved considerably too it seems.

Using this method for burning the rom, I haven't had any problems with wifi or fc's.

FWIW.

Edit: just pushed a modified build.prop so market behaves properly now.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] prscott1:
extras

I pushed the two extra apk's that were included with the 0929 rom bundle.

The system info works okay - I attached a screenshot.

Not sure what the performance apk is/does yet. Edit: seems to be a hw / benchmark utility that also works just fine.

Edit2: installed the CCPlayer that was also included in the adobe flash folder and it works fine too!

installed the flvplugin threw some errors but installed:

C:\apad\0929\adobe flash>adb install FlvPlugin_Ver0.3.12.apk

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] prscott1:
Yeah, I thought that was amusing too. I believe these ROMs serve multiple devices so something hardcoded in there ? LOL

Edit:

I put the systeminfo app on my N1 and posted a screenshot from it - clearly the camera sensor is not right (I have 5mp on the N1) the screen resolution isn't quite right either. The app does say it is a test version - so still a beta app.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] :
I was having noob issues with the 0929 rom, it flashed well enough, but could not get market to work, or get around the continual force close on the gapps. Decided to flash back to the 0827 rom, re-installed the androidId - ran the script, got everything up and running again last night.

Decided to read some more today - had a few PM's back and forth with board members trying to get around my limited adb knowledge, etc. Plan was to get home, re-flash the 0929 release - and then work on getting the scripts and fixes updated correctly in adb shell to move forward.

Read somewhere - either here, or on slatedroid that someone flashed the 0929 release - but not the userdata. That remained unchecked. Not sure why - but decided to give it a shot. The 0929 flashed without issue, booted up and I noticed that my wifi auto connected without having to be set up again. I've always had to reset network wep key, etc after every new flash ?

To my surprise all of my apps were there - and other than having to use marketenable, market worked as is - downloads and all. The settings screen does tell me that I am running the 0929 Firmware - so everything seems to be okay ?

So - to the experts, I ask - what did I do, I want to say wrong, but am not sure since everything appears to be working ?

Any ideas ?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] prscott1:
Well done mate!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] prscott1:
Something may have gone wrong with your install.

I have all of the above files - they were created from the same busybox that the hard links were previously created from.

From shell do:

which busybox

and make sure it is /system/bin

and then you can just type

busybox

and it will show you all of the "commands" included within.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] p3hndrx:
Thanks for the reply.

I re-flashed, and it came back.

Installed 0926_1024x600 and it looks great.

Market is up and running again too.

A couple of annoyances...

I don't know if this is just my Launcher (using ADW.Launcher 1.15 Standalone), but everytime I try to change my default gestures, it restarts ADW and defaults my settings.

Also, my Front Button doesn't work anymore. :\

UPDATE:

ADW.Launcher fixed (reverted to 1.01)

Front Button fixed (with above)

Now my Market all of a sudden doesn't work anymore. :(

I ran the sqlite3 command with my AndroidID the first time, and I was able to install apps directly from the Android Market, I rebooted a few times since I reinstalled ADW.

Now, every time I try to access any services, I get "The process com.google.process.gapps has stopped unexpectedly."

Yes there are some differences... but a little shorter list than you noted as some of those commands already exist in the default PATH but in other dirs... Some are gone, but the ones gone I wouldn't miss and could work around as other commands do similar things... Really Busybox is pretty much the standard that most lightweight implementation use thus simple scripting would usually be done taking advantage of it's typical commands... some of the ones that get lost I can't fathom why anyone of a tablet like this could even think of using...

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hal_9000:
I didn't use RPMScript neither, just flashed 0929, did some tweaks and installed some APK's, that's why I wonder if some APK could have replaced my Busybox. Any way, as jtbnet said, probably the "lost functions" are not needed anyway. Nevertheless I think that I'll replace it with the one on RPMScript, since it is 690260 bytes long while mine is 1785732 bytes long, that is 1,04 megabytes longer and I wonder if that big size make it more "heavy" when executed.

Ok, I replaced the enormous Busybox I had (out of don't_know_where) by the small on RMPScript, and executed "/system/bin/busybox --install -s /system/bin/".

dalvik.vm.execution-mode=int:jit
