I use Gmail and when I sent merimobiles the email with the customs number google poped up a website that tracked that package.

http://trkcnfrm1.smi.usps.com/PTSInternetWeb/index.jsp

and enter the info from the recipt.

Or you can Gmail someone you know the customs number and gmail should do the rest.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Christian Buchner:
I am considering to build Android 2.2 from source and to transplant the resulting files onto the ZT-180 system partition. We'd lose any customizations by Zenithink (the few extra options they added to the Settings application for example).

If I can't make any progress there, I'll try to write a dialer app (or widget) for 3G where the APN and other parameters can be configured easily.

Also: would anyone have experience building CyanogenMod for devices? What would be the main benefits over using a stock Android 2.2 version?

To CB - If I can vote, I'd prefer that Dialer app :-)

I have two USB modems - 3G stick Huawei E1750 and CDMA EVDO Axesstel.

Both of them are recognized by system, but I'm not able to get them connect...

I've tried to find all files needed to configure, but somewhere is something missing :-)

So... That's I prefer Dialer...

BTW: Is there any log file, where I should find reasons, why connection drop out?

I suppose, that somewhere is that file :-)

Can't get android ID

Hi, I am new to this device ZT-180, after reading so many info about zt-180 found out that is so technical.. is like programing... is there any other easier way to get this device working probably? Other than doing it with dos command?

I've tried number of times to get android id into the device but seems like failed all the times... i did all the steps that was given i the fix market for slates but i still can't "push" the android id into the device... it just show nothing in the dos command box.. i plugged in the cable connected to both pc and the device and run adb devices and nothing show up..(no ip show up)..

and is there any other way than using wireless to do the script? can it be done over the otg? as i don't have wireless connection.

I have a thread over on Slatedroid dedicated to this;

http://www.slatedroid.com/zt-180/69...n-working-dhcp-no-static-ipaddr-required.html

I'm still hoping to simplify this a bit so that you don't need to edit the supplicant file each time you switch from Infrastructure to AdHoc but it at least can already be done...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] alessio2:
There should be a new thread here or at slatedroid for this ZT-180 Microphone issue
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] manimore:
this is what i tried but it broke my wifi (wouldn't turn on anymore)

For all who just can't get it working, connectify.me let's you share your laptops wifi and it works with zt-180 out of the box.

I will use that until i find a way to have the zt-180 see my mywi from the iphone
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jtbnet:
Sorry to hear that... I purposely mentioned editing the Dynamic /data/misc/wifi verson of the supplicant config as if you haven't touched the persistent /system/etc/wifi version you should just be able to delete the data/misc file and it will pop back to infrastructure mode... And turns out the changes to RT2870STA.dat may only be needed for the TXPower hack as I forgot to change that file after reflashing and connected to my Adhoc just changing the supplicant file...

connectify.me would work Great as long as you have a Windows7 OS to run it on as acts like a Full Infrastructure AccessPoint unfortunately AdHoc is all that's available from most cell phone stacks...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hal_9000:
You must "chown" to "wifi.wifi" the file "wpa_supplicant.conf".
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Christian Buchner:
A small gotcha: when running my modified image, the chown command uses the busybox implementation. It has a distinctly different syntax.

To make sure you use the android version, use

/system/bin/toolbox chown wifi.wifi wpa_supplicant.conf
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jtbnet:
THANX... I believe the default creds are actually system.wifi 660.. I didn't think to mention as I usually just edit with root explorer thus they don't get changed...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] manimore:
i seem to now have trouble getting the existing conf file of the tab using droidexplorer

could you provide the exact adb command line i need to use to do this over wifi?

i know how to push the file back onto the tab after editing but seem to have trouble getting it off for editing. Or can i edit it on the tab itself?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hal_9000:
Hum... I think that it should work with that too, since you are granting "rw" to the "wifi" group, but try with "wifi.wifi" anyway. When I edited it I did it on my PC and then pushed it, so it got "root.root" and then the WiFi could not be activated. I changed to "wifi.wifi" and it worked.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hal_9000:
adb pull /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] manimore:
ok got that, pulled it and pushed it back and now have the wifi can't start.

what's the command line for chown to get it to turn back on?

Sorry windows guy, terrible with this linux stuff.

Burning From Linux?

Has anyone tried burning a ZT-180 ipad from linux or from the device itself? Does anyone tried any of the other devices flashtools to flash the various system images to one of these devices? I would love to buy one of these, but I do not have any windows machines, so this would be quite a hurdle if I couldn't reflash it.

There are a couple advantages of using CM over AOSP. CM has many different vendor layouts already set up for you to use as models for the ZT-180's vendor layout. In the newer versions (2.2 based) there are several useful customizations in a new CyanogenMod menu in settings. Full 360 degree rotation, keeping home screen loaded in memory, easily enabling/disabling jit, and all kinds of little ui changes.

Questions about CB's RFW and RPM script

Got my A10 2 days ago and I'm glad I didnt wait any longer. The "new" wave of pads keep getting pu8shed farther and farther back everyday.

Be that as it may. After several tries I got CB's latest (I hope) FW installed, looks AWESOME.

Interstingly enough I installed the ZT FW from 09/29(?) where there were 2 versions depending on your screen rez? Well I couldnt get the lower rez to load so I used the 600 one, THEN I used CB's FW.

Interestingly enough my screen resoluton stayed at 1024x600

But I'm ok with that, 4 pixels off center are fine.

However, Now I'm wondering if I should go ahead with RPM Script or not?

I'll admit I'm only 5 pages into this thread. I tried reading backwards, but that didnt help.

Any ideas appreciated.

Again Flatpad did what they said they would BUT for 2 things.

1) They claimed same day shipping, they waited until the following monday (I got in before the deadline)

2) their communication was TERRIBLE. 3 emails in 3 days, and the ONLY one I got a reply from was the one where I started "I received my A10".....

I guess they gfeel my other questions werent important?

Oh well lets hope they get theu STUFF together before the A10T launches

thanks for the great work guys! for $216 this is a GREAT pad because of all the hard work folks are putting into it!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] omarahum:
Yeah, Flat Computing needs to improve their Customer Service (wish they would hire me, I need a job I can do online from home).

If I were you, I would download the RPMscript and see what options are in there that you may want to to do for your system (if CB's doesn't have it already). The pixel thing, what went wrong when you flashed the 576 version?

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] wasserkapf:
There is a Linux program call Flashrom, but I think it is for flashing BIOS chips. I didn't try it.

The ZT-180 is seen (by Linux) as a test board, when it is in flash mode. I don't recall the name, but when I Googled it some of the hits were from other phones. I haven't gone any further than that.

If you purchase one now, it should have the latest firmware pre-flashed to it. I would ask the seller about that before you purchase. As for running the RPMScript, I have made a sh script version that you can run from Linux (see link in my sig). You first need to install the Linux version of the android-SDK, and then run the script inside of that.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] omarahum:
This may be a stupid question, but if you have all the settings the way you want it, can you/should you unroot the tablet, or would that cause a whole bunch of Superuser/Other problems?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jtbnet:
Once rooted, stay rooted... else you will likely have all kinds of problems like your Autokiller can no longer work, autostarts will fail, and that's only while you're trying to boot... You can look at the apps having been granted superuser permissions and IF you no longer need Any of those then you could likely unroot... but I would be vsery surprised if you were as happy with the end result as you are now :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] omarahum:
Thanx, good to know. Thought maybe it would help keep the tablet stable, guess not. For some reason after around 30-40 boots after I get the tablet up and running and everything working and stable, I get that stuck on android_ error or UIDs have become unstable you need to wipe your user partition, and have to start all over from scratch again. Wondering how i could fix that.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Christian Buchner:
Interesting - look at the difference of the strings within the /system/lib/hw/sensors.default.so module between firmware 0827 and 0929.

0827:

/dev/imapx200-sensor
zenithink SENSORS Module
zenithink, Inc.
acceleration
zenithink 2-axis Accelerometer

0929:

/dev/sensor
ZT SENSORS Module
ZT-xxx Project
acceleration
magnetic-field
orientation
temperature
ZT 3-axis Accelerometer
Android dummy Magnetic field sensor
The Android Open Source Project
ZT Orientation sensor
Android dummy Temperature sensor

The device node name for the sensors changed.

And look how the 2-axis accelerometer was changed into a 3-axis accelerometer. The magnetic and temperature sensors added are dummies, at least they admit that.

ZT-xxx Project... ZT-who? They don't really know what they're producing ;)

"unable to scan for networks"

I have been getting this msg when trying to turn on my WIFI. Have tried both official and modded system files.

When I revert back to an earlier image (8/27 I believe), the WiFi works. Any suggestions are welcomed. Thanks.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] karlonicolas:
The directory /system/etc/ppp/peers is correct. My bad.

I used notepad to create a text file and renamed it to remove the ".txt" and rename to "emobile." Cut and paste the contents of the file from Fun's post.

i did not add any other file or script, nor did i have to modify any other file, except create "emobile." containing Fun's original code.

You can use also root explorer to rename the file.

Copy (and later paste) the file "emobile." using the copy the root explorer program.

go to the /system/etc/ppp/peers directory. make sure you change r/w to r/w in the root explorer so it is on read write mode.

once you are in the directory /system/etc/ppp/peers just copy the file "emobile."

do not edit the cdma file. you will not need to access it any way.

make sure your wcdma is checked and your evdo is also checked (not sure about evdo, but maybe not neccesary.) this is in the settings program of the slate. insert your modem the reboot.

once done, make sure you have android terminal. in android terminal, there is "$" sign, which is the prompt. your modem must still be inserted by now.

type su (make sure your device is rooted or you have superuser permission). i used the soft keyboard (in android terminal) to type su. it was difficult since the usb port is being used by the modem, i had to be able to very quickly un-toggle the soft keyboard so that i can click "allow" when superuser asks if terminal should be given superuser permission. otherwise, the "allow" will be un"clickable". is it because i was in labdscape mode (this just occured to me)? perhaps use terminal in portrait mode so you will not have to encounter this "difficulty".

after typing "su", the prompt will change to "#". in the "#" sign, type "pppd call emobile $".

it should work, if you are using huawei 160. i have tried it countless times, and the process worked for me.

I tried this on the unmodified 0929/0926 rom and Christian's custom rom.

in 0926/0929 rom, my modem was identified by the slate (without any modifications), unlike in 0827 where my huawei 160 could not be identified (without altering any of the files). thus, in 0929/0926 rom, once i insert the modem and check the wdcma (in settings), the signal bars are active, even the broadband provider.

My guess is, all huawei modems are likely to be identified by the the 0929/0926 rom. Guys, comment if this true, otherwise, i stand corrected.

i have only one zte (mf622) modem, but it still does not work on the original 0929/0926 rom.

FYI, I am only a newbie and i have VERY LITTLE knowledge on this. i hope this helps :-)

P.S. i really hope CB can create the 3g modem apk he mentioned. that will really be sweet.

Oh great, just that I am about to start my empire of enthusiast followers, I am about to lose the hard drive that most of my Android development was done on (AutoMarket, beginnings of UMTS Dialer). And there is no backup yet.

It is a seven year old 80 GB hard drive taken from a laptop I bought in 2003 (the laptop died about a year after purchase).

I will try a recovery effort on Monday, but things are not looking so good. The drive is barely spinning up, and when it does it is making very unusual noises during operation. All partitions are EXT4, which makes it difficult to mount on any of my other Linux systems (which are OpenSuSE 11.1 without EXT4 support - duh).

The up side is that this is only the first hard drive that is failing me in my entire IT career.
