anyone else getting 78+ in fps2d?!?!?!?!??

This is pretty impressive for this device, I cant wait for Cyanogen to port his work to our device. Anyone having any luck with a custom kernel?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] gentouchpad:
goodintentions thank you.

unfortunately still no luck. this is a different app without a whole lot of explanation on how to use. it seemed straightforward yet still could not get internet. I get CONNECTED like previously if I provide a static ip but no internet at all. Icon shows connection and wifi manager shows connected but nothing.

anyone with ideas? really frustrating. I was connected with a two different hotspots today but not my own.

note - WEP wifi

http://www.slatedroid.com/wiki/inde....2FSplash_Screen.2FReset.2FGoogle_Wipe_Update

features:

new splash screen (android bot guy),

new buttons on top notification bar (volume, home, back, etc)

factory reset

google apps are ALL gone...

very sad news indeed

Well since Augen has officially used their update to delete all the good stuff (the Google apps) from out tablet. I think I'm returning mine. I couldn't get a supplier to send me a sample cap screen and no word on whether I will get the HDMI connector sample I requested either. If I DO get it and you guys want them, I think it might just be like $1/connector and I'll mail you one.

I have two jobs, a senior research project, five classes, and rehab for my leg before I can snowboard in the spring. I just honestly don't have time to deal with this tablet. Plus, Augen's customer support REALLY effing sucks. I'll probably just wait for a better tablet to come around. Also, CoD7 beta comes out next month and my attention will be on that.

I'm in direct contact with the author of wifi config editor and wifi advanced config editor. He assured me that the two are the same. The word advanced is just there for naming purposes because he fixed a couple bugs from the old one. We're trying to figure out how to get it to work in regard to your WEP thing. Stay tuned for updates on this.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] goodintentions:
ATTENTION GENTOUCHPAD

Do the following with wifi advanced config editor. Go to settings menu and create network config. Open wifi advanced config editor and select the said. Go to auth protocol and select open. Go to WEP keys and select key index. Choose index 0. Fill out WEP key as needed.

The author of wifi advanced config editor wants to advice you to change to WPA2 because WEP can be cracked in seconds. Tell us how it goes.

UNSUCCESSFUL

Tried many many times. No dice.

wifi advanced config editor does not seem to save/remember the information details. I've tried index 0 as well as index 3.

If I can find the login info to my dd-wrt'd router I can change everything from WEP to WPA. BUT, I can't believe Android sucks at WEP!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mskash:
Did you try holding in the reset button on your router for 10 secs? Doing that resets my router to factory settings.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] goodintentions:
Haha, why the hell didn't you tell us earlier? What router do you have?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] andrews240:
The default username / password combination is "root" / "admin" (Source: dd-wrt FAQ)

Otherwise, you will need to factory reset the router, losing all settings; procedure for which varies by model.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] andrews240:
Thanks for the update.zip linckraker. I ran it, but I did not notice anything different yet. Was this update meant for those that already ran the official update, and just want to get back to normal? Also, the updated notification bar was not present in the zip provided, unless I am missing it somehow.

Either way, thanks for the contributions.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] oneadvent:
Yea I didn't either, my market still doesn't work either. Is there anyway we can get an update that fixes the market and has a calibration tool in it, I couldn't get theirs to work because I dont use windows.

Thanks if anyone can swing it.

125% increase in battery performance

Ok, I know that others have posted along the same lines here, but it took me a bit to find all the pieces so I thought I would put it into a single posting.

Using Battery Left as my benchmark tool I have increased my battery performance in terms of how long I can go on a full charge by approximately 123-126%.

1. Installed ToggleAir.apk from Andrew Schwimmer. I was able to install this from the Market, but there are other places online that have it as well.

2. DO NOT install the WiFi toggle, it seems like this is what you want but it doesn't do the trick.

3. Reboot, and then run Airtoggle and put device into airplane mode.

4. open the built-in Wi-Fi Settings app, you will get a message that it is unable to open, IGNORE THIS.

It took about 10 seconds longer than usual but I am now able to reconnect all of the various Wi-Fi networks (home, work, coffee shop, etc), and looking at the battery usage metrics in Battery Left I no longer have any of the phone overhead competing for resources. I am getting more than double the time from a full charge than I was before.

i would love to hear from others if anyone else has done this, or seen similar results.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] andrews240:
Hey linckraker. I decided to do the full upgrade path, with the 8/20 patch, followed by your new update.zip. It appears that your update.zip did not redo the /cache fix for me. Also, after a reboot, superuser privileges were gone. I tried to correct it by installing your previous update.zip for the cache and SU fixes, but i lost use of the touchscreen with that process.

So, I did a NANDroid restore, and all is back to the way it began. I may try again, being that so many others have successfully upgraded without issue.

Any chance that someone can just run a diff on the new patch, compared to the previous, and just make the updated files available. If they provided update.zip files instead of images, that I how I would upgrade. I am unable to extract the images in windows, for some reason, unyaffs throws a STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION error.

Can't mount /sdcard

ClockWork Recovery always takes sometime to mount the sdcard. uptime about 30 seconds. so once you get into clockwork wait about a min before you start using it.

Funny story of how I got my gentouch

So, I live about 20 minutes from the nearest K-mart. I didn't want to drive all the way there just to find out they didn't have any in stock. So, I called them. Here is a rough draft of my phone conversation with k-mart people.

Ring...

Kmart: Hello, this is K-mart how many I help you today?

Me: Can you please transfer me to electronics?

Kmart: One moment please.

wait...

Kmart: Kmart electronics.

Me: Hi, I need to find out if you have an item in stock.

Kmart: Ok, what is the item, sir?

Me: It's the augen tablet.

Kmart: Ok, let me transfer you to pharmacy.

Me: No, wait, you don't understand, it's an electronic device.

Kmart: What is it called?

Me: It's the new augen internet tablet called the gentouch.

Kmart: ......... I'm pretty sure you want pharmacy.

Me: It should be right next to the other items like the Aluratek Libre and the augen ebook reader in your glass box.

Kmart: Sir, I'm looking at the glass box right now and I don't see any pill or tablet. Let me transfer you to pharmacy.

Me: Wait! Just humor me and look in the box. It should be at the end on your left.

Wait......

Kmart: Let me ask my manager. Just a moment please.

(I'm pretty sure he never looked in the box. He just assumed I'm another dumbass customer.)

Kmart: Ok, sir, I do apologize for that. We do have some in stock. And it's suppose to be in very high demand.

Me: Ok, I'll be right there.

Click.

Seriously, that was frustrating and funny at the same time. I kept having to convince him not to transfer me to pharmacy.

Well waited 2 minutes after rebooting and the nandroid worked fine - thanks.

Another question -

I Still have Problems getting market to work

Did all the steps

System is rooted and some apps get the Su popup -

Got a AndroidID from emulator

Transferred that to Augen and verified with terminal new ID is in gls.db

I installed the update.zip back before the augen 20 update and the bootimg-su-googleapps.zip

All the old apps downloads in market disappeared

I search and get the description of a app and hit the install button

Then hit the ok ok the next screen showing what the access will be

Get a your item will be downloaded message and then a popup

Sorry

The application Market (process.com/android.vending) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again

Force close button.

Market then comes back up, and if I hit downloads button it shows the app under currently downloading but nothing ever happens

Any suggestions on how to figure out what the problem is?

Do I have to reapply the update.zip after the bootimg-su-googleapps.zip

Mine was an early download - I think just the regular green droid on boot - no pirate droid - does that make a difference?

No, the headphone jack is still 2.5mm. I'm not bothered by that at this point.

The microSD slot appears to be the same. I have no troubles putting the card in, but I can see how easy it would be to lose one.

I haven't opened it up yet to compare hardware, but I plan on doing it sometime in the next week or two when I have time.
