Oh wicked. Great work! Thanks for the reply.

I've gone to the do the flash, as it sounds like it'll fix a lot of the problems, but I feel like an idiot. The instructions arent very clear (to me, maybe Im missing something)...

Easy enough.

With a blank screen?

What cable? PC to tablet?

What driver and how do I install it? If it's PC to tablet I assume on the PC... then I'll assume Im going to need linux?

I'll worry about this if I get this far... :D

Sorry all the noobie questions!!

^- thats the one I just used. Cleared up any stupid questions.

I'm trying to get the market to work now, which isn't quiet so easy!

Is RPM just a script or does it require another program?

I've got the tablet updated, rooted and adbwireless running but just cant get them to talk. (Also found the wireless on a router wasn't working, luckily had a spare but thats another story...)

Tablet is running much better already.

Thanks guys!!

First post here, Had Zt device for a few weeks and based on everyone's input managed to flash to WINCE and back again (did not like it). Flashed to 0827 ROM all fine - thanks everyone for info.

Device rooted and I have market running but everytime I get unsuccesful download when trying to downlaod.....any other suggestions? Not sure what else to try.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] skyfox5000:
The market uses the same account as google talk for authentication. Does google talk work?

I think I get an error but i will check when I get home.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] skyfox5000:
The unable to download / unable to log in to google talk has been going around for a while. Its got to do with multiple scenarios. 1. If you live in the UK google had a change from googlemail to gmail, which stuffed it up, change back and it'll work. 2. If outside of UK then submit a ticket to google via the google talk forums, that fixed mine. (Account issue I presume).

I doubt it's to do with the device.

Anyhow... how'd you get the market onto the device? I could use a hand... :D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hal_9000:
Not hardware issues after all

Well, just to get sure, I just flashed Windows CE and made some tests:

1) the screen light can go fully off, although the image remains (you can see it barely if you put the tablet under a light), so the fact that Android leaves the light always on just dimming it is a software issue

2) the WiFi signal strength is greater than with Android, so no hardware issue neither

It seems like people at Zenithink just don't know/want to do things the right way.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Christian Buchner:
> It seems like people at Zenithink just don't know/want to do things the right way.

I also get the impression they are newbies developing for Android, looking at how carelessly the 0827 system.img was slapped together. There are binaries on the image that don't even execute (e.g. nanddump, mount) - possibly taken from whatever third party sources.

It sucks that our system depends on some noobs from Asia :(
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hal_9000:
I went back to Android to perform some more tests.

If you go to "/sys/devices/platform/imapx200-lcd-backlights/leds/lcd-backlight" there is a file "brightness" (owned by system) which contains a value from 0 to 255 indicating the current backlight brightness. In fact, if I change the permissions so I can write to it and then I execute:

echo "[b]n[/b]">brightness

Being "n" a number from 0 to 255, the actual backlight brightness changes immediately to the specified value, but... even when the value is "0" the backlight is dimmed but still on. So there has to be something in the driver itself that prevents the backlight to go off, as it does in Windows CE. I tried to use negative values, but they are filtered to 0, while values greater than 255 are filtered to 255.

Games

Hey guys,

I'm wondering if you guys have problems playing games...

I can't seem to play Helix HD and Angry Birds they "crash" Like when I start them they get an error that says this application blah blah stopped unexpectedly.

And when I play a movie from the SD card using Real Player Beta it crashes and restarts and I have to do a hard reset in order for it to boot. Firmware 0827 right now.

Let me know if you guys have any thoughts.

Thanks.

My Google talk does not load at all - icon is there and screen goes black for a moment then back to home screen.

I created a Google talk acount on my PC hoping that might link it but maybe the app is corrupt... so no luck getting downloading to work, which is quite a tease as i can see all the free and paid apps!!! :(
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] movster:
I reflashed unit using burntool 7.2 up to ROM 0827.

I installed Universal Root and adbwireless (in that order).

I then loaded RPM Script 1.2 (seach on forum) onto PC and ran the bat file from the RPM add on folder.Do not select anything from menu yet.

I then started up the adbwireless app on the device until I could see the red button and turn it off and then on again to get it working.

Back to the bat file on PC, select option 2 and enter the IP from the ZT device as shown on the adbwireless screen.

Once it connects you go through the remaining options (2-6 and a - j) on the PC.

Option 5 installs Market for you but as I have stated I am having trouble getting it to download.

You will need to set up a google account if not done already.

I am very much a newbie and never had any Android device before but it appears somewhat robust in that if you muck it up, I just do a reflash and start over....seems to handle it ok.

Happy to share any info I can to the best of my knowledge.

Not really. I just installed the Market version of ADW Launcher and it showed the dialog saying that ADW Launcher 1.1.5 would replace the currently installed version. Of course it doesn't replace it in the sense of overwriting it, but the apk on "/system/app" becomes inactive and the new installed version on "/data/app" is used instead. Then if you go to the application uninstall screen you don't get the usual "uninstall" button, but an "uninstall updates" button, the same that happens with Google Maps, for example, when you install the Market version over the built-in one. If you push that button, only the installed version is removed and you go back to the built-in version of ADW Launcher.

Of course, if you don't want the possibility to go back to the built-in version, you can always remove "/system/app/ADW.Launcher.apk" after install the Market version.

I made some changes to the "/system/build.prop" file taking as reference the one on my HTC Magic with CM6. The lines changed are after the commented unchanged version and the added after an "#added:" comment. However I don't know if this has any effect, but some things seem more reasonable, like "ro.product.locale.language=es" and "ro.product.locale.region=US", instead of "#ro.product.locale.language=mdpi" and "#ro.product.locale.region=". I noticed that my location are now correctly detected thorugh WiFi, but since others said that network location seems to work randomly or intermittently, I don't know if it has something to do with the changes.

Sorry for all these consecutive posts, but it seems like I'm "home alone" here and I didn't want to mix subjects.

I'm having two problems:

1) if I check the option to keep the screen on while charging, then the screen never enters the locked status, even if the power cord is unplugged :eek:

2) ADBWireless has stopped working... I've uninstalled and installed again but no go; when I press the big buttom the toast saying ADBWireless has been granted superuser permissions appears, but nothing happens and if I try to interact with the application I get an ANR dialog; if I plug the OTG and make "adb tcpip 5555" it commutes to WiFi just fine though :confused:

EDIT: Oh, I remembered another thing. I'm not sure, but I think previous ROM versions had the ability to export the SD card to the PC when you plug the OTG, just like the phones, but this 0827 don't give signals at all when you plug the OTG cable. It's a removed feature or it's just I'm confused?

P.S.: Where is everybody, by the way? :D

Run RPM script until it has connected to your device via ADB, then run ONLY the script's option to insert the market ID. This should work.

If you use RPMScript on the original Zenithink 0827 ROMs, you don't get a Dalvik VM that runs entirely stable (it will crash on Quadrant benchmark). Also the Market won't be permanently enabled for US-only downloads.

we've lost a day of postings. Argh. I am re-posting one that I find important:

According to some sources, some shipping Android phones now all have the same android_id (the Moto DROID2 for example)

in this thread they're talking about it and proposing a fix that supposedly installs a new ID.

Two questions come into my mind.

1) Does this ID (hexadecimal 9774d56d682e549c) work for market access on the ZT-180 - if so, should I hardcode it into my system image? argh, too bad the ID is actually stored on the /data partition... Also note that the database insert needs to use the (unsigned) decimal equivalent

2) Does the method described in the link above work, or is the framework version they posted incompatible with our device?

Maybe someone is willing to try. I don't want to break my installation right now...
