People said that it uses a Vivante GC600 GPU so i got in contact with Vivante directly and they confirmed that Zenithink is indeed a licensee of their product.

A colleague also asked Vivante if they could offer the latest opengl ES 2.0 driver to Zenithink through the distributor and they said they'd do their best.

upon bootup penquin shows, no android

Hello,

I have done this to two epads - add a wifi antenna to the wifi circuit. The first one went well no issues.

The second one, well when it boots now, it just shows the the penquin, a cursor blinks underneath for a few seconds, and then nothing, penquin stays on the screen.

I have drained the battery fully,

I have tried reflashing, with no change.

I tried flashing with the wince to see if anything would chamge, and I still get the penquin, so I do not think the flash is going through, even though the burntool shows updating, and finishes with no problems.

Any ideas?

Help

One option (if all others failed) is to check how the device is booting by connecting to the serial output. See http://ip208-100-42-21.static.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=8049498#post8049498

This can give you a clue what is wrong.

JTB,

I have tried every which way on this with no go. Looked at all the variables and confirmed all are working fine. It must have something to do with windows mobile adhoc protocol or something.

I also am pleased that we now have froyo on our Odroit T... it is really a big improvement... but no adhoc on my windows mobile phone either :( after hours of trying last night... I have to get one of these tabs to work for me away from wifi... either tether with usb or wifi! (how much can I pay you to engineer this for me???? :)

I guess it only took me 3 weeks to get over WM when I first switched to Android :) Funny as I had used and developed on WM/CE since CE 1.0 back in 1996 for my HP handheld...

Back on track... I already have the last Freeware version of this (0.91) just not loaded but I also pulled the 2.0 trial version... when you say your'e using the Free version do you mean 0.91 or recent trial version?

I've just got a Zenithink ZT-180, and no way in hell that I can use it.

The touch is so far off that when I try to start an application two applications left of the touch will start.

I've also tried to flash the WinCE version (I think that the link is posted on the 2nd page), but that's just making the ZT-180 hang at the Android boot screen.

Anyone here who can post a working download link to the file ZT-108-pack-bySonic.rar? I believe that this file has got a working WinCE version in it.

The only link that I found is dead :-(

Is there no way to calibrate the screen in Android 2.1? I know that it's possible in WinCE!

Also. Can we not do something like we are doing with the HTC HD2 (Leo), and make it boot Android 2.2 from the SD card?

Thank you all.

Is my screen broken?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] htc-hd2:
Thank you lmemperador and tsukaza.

I was using firmware 0827.

Apparently firmware 0830 has just been spotted on one of the newest ZT-180.

Anyway. I'm now on WinCE, and the screen is now nicely calibrated. As soon as I have firmware 0830 I will try it again and use callibarte.apk to calibrate the system again... That is... If I can find a download link for callibarte.apk

Thank you.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] htc-hd2:
I had the same if not worse! I've installed WinCE, and the problem is gone. So it can not be a broken screen.

I guess that it's a calibration problem in Android.

in wince my defective screen was ok as well, i do not know what was the reason, but in wince with stylus all was working. it drives me mad.

anyway i contact seller and he gives me a new one, and all is working now, wince and android.

maybe you have to flash the rom again but with factory settings? i don't know, sorry.

Got it Working! Loaded WFWifiRouter 2.0 Trial... Looks easy finally... but till you get it right it isn't ... I had no connections working for a while...

- on WM I had to set 'USB to Wifi' as phone no longer 3G

WiFi settings - Dynamic(Safer)

Ad-hoc(Advised)

NetworkName= WMWifiRouter

Encryption=None(for testing)

- on ZT-180

Set Both /data/misc/wifi and /etc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf to

#

ctrl_interface=ra0

update_config=1

ap_scan=2

network{

ssid="WMWifiRouter"

scan_ssid=1

key_mgmt=NONE

mode=1

priority=99

}

I cleared or commented all else in files so all else is default

I never changed the RT2870STA.dat file so that still has SSID=AndroidTether, and NetworkType=Adhoc, just like the example with TXPower patch...

I had to enable Wireless, disable, enable a couple of times to get it to connect for the first time but after that it started every enable...

Edit for PS. I powered both WM Phone and tablet down and back up again and it took enabling, disabling, enabling 4 or 5 times before it said Obtaining address from WMWifiRouter and Locked connected again... so don't give up...

Fantastic Job Christian!

I installed your file and all works fine, but deleted all that has from version 803 and I can not acess Market

Also I dont know, because I dont work before with Linux how to do this IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS: Clear your Dalvik cache first.

The rest I did without problems with Burntool, update the firmeware with your system file.

I had setup my Google account previously, and set it up in the Android welcome screen. But Market doesnt works, I receive this message INDISPOSABLE SERVER, TRY LATER PLEASE

In regards to the accelerometer not working in apps. I noticed a while ago when I was messing with getting gapps across from cyanogenmod that /system/bin/akmd is missing from the zenithink images.

Would this be why apps can't see the accelerometer?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jtbnet:
Likely

$(proprietary)/akmd:system/bin/akmd

# compass/accelerometer daemon

service akmd /system/bin/akmd

Unfortunately this is Proprietary code specific thus only Zenithink can provide this... UNLESS the accelerometer is a clone of another and then Maybe that other Propietary service May work... just not sure how we might be able to connect the dots on a clone without a Lot more part specifc info... then of course if we had all that specific part related info we could probably write it...

Kingston mobilelite g2 usb card reader not getting recognized

Hi there,

I tried to connect the Kingston MobileLite G2 USB card reader to my pad. To the reader , i used a 4GB SDHC card. It popped up a message saying "UDisk Damaged".

The same Reader works fine on Mac and windows.

Do we need a special driver for this reader to be recognized. Anyone got any suggestion to make this device working with the pad.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Christian Buchner:
When the server is not available, the problem usually goes away after a day. It seems to be a problem on Google's end on some servers. After a day your DNS cache is usually cleared and you get assigned a different (and in most cases a working) server.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mrdoubleb:
here also market started working after the device has been off for a while.

Only thing i noticed is when i have the pad in portrait mode and go into market it only 10 apps in each category. When i change the pad to landscape mode i am able to scroll down for more apps .. any body else noticed this ?????
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] insight3fl:
JTBnet,

I want to personnaly thank you (and the others here that are so helpful and patient with us noobs) for your time and assitance in helping me get ad hoc working. I was able to get my Odroit -T connected this morning as well by being persistant in monitoring that Misc\wifisupplicant.conf file as it changes without any reason it seems.

But, without your follow up and assurance to "keep trying", I am not sure how long it would have taken me to get it right.

Now it is time to tackle the google apps and market changes and with both tablets working on eclair and froyo, I think I can finally sit back and enjoy their use !

I assume you have a paypal account? :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Christian Buchner:
yes that's apparently because Google did not anticipate such large displays at the time. The market app requires scroll bars to be visible, in order to allow the user to scroll down to get more entries. Because they only populate 10 apps at a time, in portrait mode you don't get the scroll bar. ;)

A lot of apps are currently broken with the high display resolutions of tablets. That's why Google officially declared that Android 2.2 was not designed for tablets. Also the Market has no provisions to filter out apps that are incompatible with tablets yet. The user experience can be quite disappointing. Imagine buying an app and finding out that it fails miserably on your high resolution display.

Have I got the new Zenithink Firmware?

Hi everyone my name is Gaz, Ive been reading this forum for a few weeks now and decided to order a Zenithink. It arrived today and I was about to upgrade the firmware to 827 but it say on the epad the following :-

Is this a new firmware or am I just being stupid and not understanding ?

I'd check what version of FS the SD is formatted with as I used the micro version from here;

http://www.kingston.com/flash/readers.asp

with 4GB MicroSD formatted FAT32 on the PC and all worked fine... Note it does take a while after inserting the dongle for the FS to actually be ready as seems it runs an fsck on the FS before making it available and that can take a little while so maybe plug it, leave it for a few minutes then check for files on /udisk... There is actually a red access/busy led along side the blue pwr led that flashes while the OS is preparing/fsck the udisk but you kind of need to look at the led from the side of the tablet to actually see it on some as doesn't seemed centered in window in one of my tablets...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] gazzared35:
Thanks for the quick reply, I just spent weeks learning how to upgrade the firmware and know I dont need to ha ha. Does this mean its ready for 3g dongle? Also I must admit I cant believe how fast and responsive it is, I was expecting it to be really slow from other people feeback.

Strange, Zenithink doesn't have a 0830 ROM on their software download page. I was helping someone on the Flat Computing forum, and his tablet said it already had the 0827 rom on it (well the kernel at least), I told him it would be best if he flashed the ROM anyways, before installing Market, and he said after flashing with just the 0827 ROM it seemed quite different and better then before, so not sure if he really had 0827 on it already.

From my experience, I have had the same WiFi after boot problems with the default animation, and I have had working WiFi after boot with the Nexus animation. It just seems random to me. However, after reading and believing that yours does work as you say, I will no longer bother with a custom boot animation as there is obviously a better chance of problems.

No way. Get the google-addon for CM6 (FRF91 I believe) and try pushing that over.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] omarahum:
I found that strange, but found a workaround. I had previously been disabling the sync app at boot using Startup Manager, because it always caused other programs to pop FC errors on bootup, but since enabling it, seems to force the wifi to stay on at bootup. I also found reducing the framerate of the bootanimation helped to reduce FC's and strange graphic anomalies with ADW.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] OpenMinded:
I just wanted to note I had this problem after an update to 827.

Like I read on the net somewhere, you just have to wait some time and it works.

After it worked I had the problem it would say Starting download... and do nothing.

I seem to have fixed that by using the same email adres for the AndroidId I generated and the one entered on the ePad.

Hope that helped.

I have a question about Flash 10 on 2.1.

It is obtanainable on the net (i could not post the link yet, just google it).

It seems to work for some, not for me on the ePad.

I have plugins enabled in the browser, but no flash recognision.

Does any one know a way to fix this, so getting the browser (or dolphin) to handle flash content by browser plugin?

that would rule :)!

I have wireless not set to always on and I have a screen time out set to 30 seconds.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] raptorex:
Hi Omarahum,

Glad I found you here at XDA Developers ;-) This is raptorex from the FC Forum. I was in the middle of troubleshooting the installation of the Android Marketplace apps into my FlatPad A10 when suddenly notice that Flat Computing changed or "facelifted" their website just few hours ago and I can't find anymore their forum link for now. Hope they'll restore it soon.

Anyway, to recap what I did with your guidance, I already got my new Android ID thru ADB and was about to enter or load it into my A10 via mini-USB. While following the SlateDroid instructional link you gave me, I plugged the mini-USB to my A10 (while powered ON) and plugged the other end to my Vista PC laptop (where my ABD is installed). the laptop detected the Android device and I directed the USB drivers search to the USB Drivers folder where the secbulk driver is located. But still it wasn't able to detect it.

Then I recalled that I was able to successfully install the USB driver prior to preflashing to ROM 0827 using another XP laptop. I'm now using a Vista laptop for the Android SDK and AVD Manager and Emulator to acquire a new Google ID.

Now, should I download and reinstall the Android SDK and AVD Manager, other necessary files as well go over the whole set-up again from scratch using the XP laptop (where the A10 USB Drivers were successfully installed) OR I can ignore the Vista laptop's USB driver non-detection and can continue using it to load/enter my new Android ID and hopefully open the Marketplace apps? I'm so close in almost completing this cumbersome procedure. Please advise. Thanks again.
