Yeah, I think that was actually Zenithink's doing, wifi-wise at least. But to be fair, I only used CB's 0929 image for a few minutes, too many pre-existing problems on my tablet when I flashed his. I'm currently using Zenithink's with your 1.2 script options 4 & 6, and I'm pretty happy. Now for the mic to get fixed, and possibly support for USB camera and gps. (Although as stated on the Slatedroid thread, I couldn't get my wifi dongle and a usb flash drive to both work on the tablet at the same time, so not sure if a camera or gps ever work, I'd be able to use it and be on the net at the same time.)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jtbnet:
You could always just install one of those $7.25 Wifi adapters I mentioned to replace an original internal whether broken or not and at least have a free external full USB for GPS, camera, or Udisk... it is kind of a waste to use the external USB for Wifi... when I'm tethering to my Cell the internal does work fine... just it's so limited in distance even with the internal antenna mods I've done the clear line of sight limit isn't much over 80 ft. But I believe you are still at the point where you don't want to void your warranty so perhaps a powered hub would do?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] omarahum:
Yeah, I haven't tried with a powered hub yet, but really don't want to/can't afford to spend any more money on the tablet. Hopefully I'll have some more options once the final ROM comes out.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] lmemperador:
i have a belkin hub that works ok

Huawei E160E

Hi All, my first post here. I've installed CB's 09/29 image (great work Christian) and have everything working fine except my E160E 3G modem.

I've disable the cdrom emulator+sdcard and given init.gprs-pppd execute permission. I don't get any signal strength indicator unless I set wcdma. I noticed in dmseg dump:

zte_ev_usb_serial_init : it's not mf110

I guess it's trying to initialise as ZTE MF110 modem

Is this modem compatible with E160E? or do I need to change the port settings somewhere?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nash.villes:
It's ok you should set WCDMA ofcourse sorry i forgot to tell that one. If you can see signal strength indicator with WCDMA option checked you should go to wireless settings for mobile and add your operators apn details to connect.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] liamstears:
I know this is prob gonna sound dumb and prob already been answered but can the ZTE MF112 work on this Zenithink ZT-180?

Thanks in advance guys
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] AthosTheMousketeer:
Weird...

I've tried your way, but after modification permissions on /system/etc/init.gprs-pppd I'm not able to log my SIM into network... It seems to me, that there is colission between MCC/MNC data on SIM and MCC/MNC somewhere in system...

Which operator do you use?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nash.villes:
My operator is Vodafone TR MCC 286 MNC 002 i got mcc codes from wikipedia web site. There's something very interesting though :) while i was reading some news on zt 180 with 3g connection some of my friend called and android phone interface showed up green answer button and red busy button :) i slided busy button and it acted just like a phone :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] AthosTheMousketeer:
Strange... I've filled my MCC/MNC in APN settings and after modiffication permissions indicator on taskbar just shows signal for aprox 5 second. And after that turn to "no signal" state... :(

Before modiffication (or if I set permissions back to original) I can see full signal and name of operator...

BTW: Red and Green button - I've tried to send SMS from Contact app (when connected), but it (as I presumed) doesn't work :)

EDIT:

So, I'm connected finnaly - problem was, (probably), in APN settings - If I left last field in APN setings - APN type - blank, I'm not able to connect... If I fill it with word "default", suddenly works :)

Strange...

Another strange thing - There is icon G on top panel... So it lead me to suspicion that only GPRS is used... But 3G is working - I've tried some download speed measurement and there is definitely 3G.

So - for Huawei E1750 is nash.villes's method usable... Thanks!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rafaelwv:
Just a quick information: modem ZTE MF627 works absolutely PERFECT with CB's image.

Tested with operator YOIGO in Spain.

I had the same problem and also tried all available android images and even a WINCE6 image, but Wifi kept on dropping the connection (on WINCE6 saying in the log file: "authorization dropped").

I tried all kinds of possible authorization settings on my access point, and even tried a different access point, but the problems remained.

I have send the device back to Honk Kong and awaiting a replacement. Bah..

Dude i have opened android 2.1 SDK emulator and pulled Mms.apk from it using adb pull /system/app/Mms.apk and installed this apk onto my zenithink and while i my Huawei E160 stick was connected i opened messages application just like in my phone and sent an sms to a friend and it just sent ok and it is actually received by my friends phone :) Only thing that does not work is the sound during phone conversation i will investigate on that :) it looks like our tablets are good phone candidates :D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Christian Buchner:
I just ordered a Huawei 160E for 15 Euros (a German TV station called N24 offers a prepaid Internet package as "N24 surf stick"). I will see if this device is as sweet as you state. It is preloaded with 5 Euros on the SIM card account, but it also costs 5 Euros of shipping fee. Still a great offer IMHO.

By the way, I was able to recover all of the important content on my dying USB hard drive (and copied the stuff onto another 5 year old "museum" hard disk, hehe). I will resume working on the dialer.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] omarahum:
Great news, CB, glad you were able to recover your work! Have you looked at the microphone problem thread yet? I just use wifi on my tablet, so the mic problem is the next thing I (and many other people) would like fixed, if you have a chance to take a look.

Hello all. I'm a first time poster and I just wanted to thank everyone on here for your hard work making this tablet what it is now (Especially you CB). I'm running the 929 firmware with CB's custom ROM and it works great! It works so well that I felt I had to post this on my ZT-180 (got a case with a built-in USB keyboard). Keep up the good work and I look forward to your future releases.

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.

I have seen a possible answer saying I have to edit wpa_supplicant.conf, tho no further explanation.

Any suggestions are welcomed. Thanks.

One Button Timeout?

Does anyone know of an easy way (or widget) that will immediately put the tablet into the timeout state? If I close the cover of my case before timeout, it "presses" random widgets and the screen never times out. I would like to hit one button or on-screen icon and have it immediately put in the locked state. I searched the Market, but didn't see an obvious choice.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] AthosTheMousketeer:
Nice! :)

Can you post that Mms.apk?

Not sure about voice... Those 3G sticks are not equiped by necessary hw. Decoders and so on... But, maybe all needed things are in tablet... Gods know, where our chinese friends took motherboard :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] alessio2:
Yesterday burned CB's 0929 and Market was working right after inserting AndroidID and rebooting.

Great work Christian and good luck with future projects ;)

Anybody knows where Google Maps went, because I lost it after flashing??

I can't find it on Market either.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] AthosTheMousketeer:
Just checked - Maps are in Market... :)

Did you try http://m.google.com ?

There should be possibility to install Google Maps via browser...

New ROM 1013. No idea what are the changes.

Download page with both 576 and 600 versions:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Christian Buchner:
I hope this is the ROM that removes the need for further "CB" mods ;)

By the way I am currently trying to build Froyo for the device, but I got stuck because it requires to link against libaudio.so - I will try to take that library from the Zenithink image.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] wangwangzi:
now, zhe rom 1013 can make easy to go "market"
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] JohnnyInBriz:
Just installed this version, strange that your AutoMarkert was there and that Market worked straight up without needing an ID. Still no go with the E160E Huawei on this version (I thought their instructions for 3G were too simplistic) but other than that seems quite stable.

Bonn Voyage with the Frodo build!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Christian Buchner:
wangwangzi, are you the "wwang" who builds the Zenithink ROMs? In previous firmwares the "wwang" name was found in the /system/build.prop
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Christian Buchner:
> Just installed this version, strange that your AutoMarkert was there and that Market worked straight up without needing an ID.

Huh, wow. So what ID is shown when one runs AutoMarket?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nash.villes:
Have you checked /system/etc/init.gprs-pppd scripts permission before trying Huawei E160E ?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] alessio2:
Even if I try to install Maps from url it links me to Market where there is no match for maps.

Some rights or location restriction problem?

I guess I will need latest Maps.apk ;)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] AthosTheMousketeer:
Do you have switched system to your language? Or using English?

I've checked this again just now and I can see Google Maps on Market in both (English and Czech) versions...

Did you try to install any other app? Works?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] JohnnyInBriz:
My mistake....market runs, says starting download and hangs there. Tried entering ID (as root) and AutoMarket shows: Reading database may have failed. Press to confirm the above ID's

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Christian Buchner:
Hmm, seems Superuser.apk on the Zenithink image is broken, or you would have been prompted to give root permissions.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rafaelwv:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] manimore:
just select either of the two rar files depending on wether you have the 600 pixel version or the old
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Christian Buchner:
It's only a miracle if you also flashed your /data drive. Cause your market ID is stored there.

If market works out of the box (with a full flash of all partitions), then it begs the question: how would it know about your previous purchases? After all these are tied to your personal market ID.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] manimore:
i flashed all four files and market worked after signing in. 1013 seems to be pretty good so far, a little less available memory from what i can tell.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] insight3fl:
but, CB you have to log in with your gmail account and would that not be the account link rather than the device specific ID?

Can anyone who has knowledge about this point to documentation on how to start on that subject?

Christian, could you post some instructions on how you build Froyo?

I work on a mac at the moment and I have compiling issues.

Could you point to some howto you are using?

Thanks anyone for this great joint effort :)!

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Christian Buchner:
insight3fl, you were right about the Google account being the link for previously purchased apps.

Openminded, working on low level drivers for not well documented hardware is not a thing I am currently capable of. So no mic or audio fix from me. Also building kernel modules for the Zenithink (closed source) kernel is almost impossible (kernel config file missing!)

Here are the new properties set in /system/build.prop on 1013 ROM. Other than that not much has changed, only /system/lib/libhardware_legacy.so (it has some strings referencing the wifi kernel modules inside). A few apk and jar files differ. For unknown reasons, my Automarket app was included.

Some might not like that location features (Google gets your current position from WiFi or GPS) are permanently enabled.

Building Android 2.2 ("froyo") from source starts with getting the sources using the repo init and repo sync commands, as described on the official Android page. Just running make will get you a generic hardware-independent system image. If you managed to get that far (that image running in emulator), the customization for the ZT-180 device can begin. But I haven't really looked very far into that. So I have not much to contribute yet and not much to share.

My plan is to replace all Android specific files (except lowlevel drivers and media framework) on the Zenithink system image to see if it boots and what works and what doesn't.

Now on to flashing 1013...

EDIT: is anyone else having no items listed under "Data & Synchronization" after adding his Google account? Meaning no synchronization of E-mail, Contacts, etc...

EDIT2: I tried a "Reset to Factory Defaults" in Settings Privacy Options after which the device reset and got stuck. And after a power-down hard reset it booted up and finally offered me to check the Sync settings for my account, which had NOT been wiped from the device.

Seems like not all is golden with this 1013 image yet.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] alessio2:
Changed region back to US and even after reboot no Google Maps in Market for me.

I can download and install all apps I see in Market.

I Google it and found that many Android (phone) users have this "applications missing in android market" problem. Still don't know why?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] omarahum:
I posted the 1013 ROMs on Slatedroid, but I'm sticking with 0929 with RPMscript 1.2 (options 4, 6, and h): http://www.slatedroid.com/zt-180/9238-new-android-firmware-1013-released-3.html#post75644
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jtbnet:
1013 is a winner so far...

I flashed this without userdata and the only thing I had to do was add my AndroidID to be able to download from Market... Even before adding my ID I could connect to market and see all my purchsed apps just can't download till adding the correct ID... Without flashing userdata I maintained the 40 or so user apps I had installed including LauncherPro and all my homescreens and widget setups including live calendars etc... Boot time seemed faster and when I checked I saw Autostarts was still configured and to my surprise I had 78MB of free mem after boot... I assumed that Autokiller, which had also be started, was helping me here as I usually set Strict as my preset. But on entering Autokiller it didn't have the preset set yet and I still had more memory that I would with 0929... Quadrant seemed to run smoother in all tests but final result was still only score of 245 and hung tablet when run a second time...

Edit: I did also run the already left installed Univ. Androot as SU didn't seem right those everything seemed to start and No FC's or hangs... then SU seemed to act normally...

So my outstanding wishlist...

- generic bluetooth drivers implemented for support of headphones and mic. for use with Apps like players, SIP, Skype...

- fix generic microphone to allow use of apps like SIP and Skype

- Video/display performance improvements... the standalone OpenGL 1.1 and 2.0 tests seems to run but general perf is horrible for apps... i.e. Quadrant's 1-2 frames/sec in 3d vid tests... for comparison I can get 40+ frames/sec running on My Moto Droid 1 clocked to 1GHZ...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DjoeN:
Downloading and hoping this one fixes my WiFi issues :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] JohnnyInBriz:
Superuser.apk seems to work as RootExplorer requested it. Maybe the they have broken AutoMarket. I got Market to work using RPM's script.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Christian Buchner:
What kind of performance do the standalone OpenGL tests offer? I haven't run them yet.

Could it be that OpenGL ES is not really hardware accelerated when accessed through the Android Java API? Or could it be that the pixel fillrate of that GPU is just really really bad?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] JohnnyInBriz:
I get the same thing with E160E, AT commands are ok, but cant start PPP. Where does one change the "start to" tty? Any idea which one the E160E uses?

Yeah, This works nice, WiFi working and i can browse the web, also watch youtube and access the market.

The only problem now is, i can't download anything, whatever i download the bar stays at 0, do i need to do some other stuff to get it working? (like getting an android id?)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jtbnet:
I believe that you want to to change the line in /system/build.prop that reads;

rild.libargs=-d /dev/ttyS01

to /dev/ttyUSB3, /dev/ttyUSB0 or whatever your dongle uses...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Christian Buchner:
Edit /etc/init.gprs-pppd. this is the script that libreference-ril-wcdma.so starts to dial in.

You can increase the baud rate and change the ttyUSB port accordingly.

I tried this:

/system/bin/pppd ttyUSB3 921600 nocrtscts usepeerdns novj novjccomp connect ... (rest of line unchanged)

Now I have another problem. The RIL is too impatient. It only allows 3 tries in total for detecting an established pppd link, with a 3 second delay inbetween. So overall RIL waits less than 10 seconds, but my pppd takes more than that to establish the connection.

I reported the problem to zenithink (together with about 10 other SNAFU's), let's hope they can fix it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Christian Buchner:
The "rild.libargs=-d" build.prop setting used to work with the unmodified libreference-ril.so from the Emulator image.

Zenithink are now overriding the -d /dev/ttyS0 switch from build.prop. In the libreference-ril-wcdma.so they detect the modem type (Huawei or ZTE) and choose the correct port for monitoring the signal quality - /dev/ttyUSB1 on my ZTE modem for example.

The actual port for pppd dialup is defined in /etc/init.gprs-pppd. Depending on modem, it can be /dev/ttyUSB0 (e.g HUAWEI) or /dev/ttyUSB3 (ZTE K3565-Z modem). I wish they'd also auto-detect that port.

In the logfile they always print "start to /dev/ttyUSB0", that string is hardcoded.
