That is where my problem lies, I have yet to be able to get it to plug up to adb of access adb from within the device.

Does anyone know if any rom works with the newer flashplayer? Even a beta?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rdnckreaper:
i think it would be a safe assumption that if you have 2.2 which allows flash and you download a flash version for a phone and install the apk then everything should work fine. if i am wrong someone please correct me.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] omarahum:
Not sure what you mean, if you got ttyUSB9, you are using adb....

There is no ARM11 support for Flash yet, so it won't work on the ZT-180 till adobe releases one for ARM11....
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rdnckreaper:
so how do i get it hooked up to adb? my command prompt will run through the directory and then shut down

i thought that the flash 1.0 that came out the same time as froyo for the phones was universally compatible. heck i got it to work on my 2.1 captivate, i just sideloaded it with androidcentral

I's Not s much as a 2.2 compatability issue as it is a Processor compatability issue... Captivate supports ARMv7 instructions which Falash 10.1 requires, ARM11 is supports ARMv6 instructions thus Not compatible unles/untill Adobe releases and ARM11/v6 version of Flash 10.x
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] omarahum:
You just need to do adb remount and then adb shell from command prompt, and then issue your commands, or use the Terminal Emulator in the Dev Tools app. Again I do not know any of this stuff, but needed adb when the RPMscript 0.5 came out to get Market to work and that was over wireless since adb over usb didn't work back in August 2010..........
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rdnckreaper:
this has beyond frustrated me. i might as well get rid of this thing because i can't figure anything out. i go into the terminal and it tells me adb isn't found. i just wish i could get this piece of crap to work like my phone. my phone was ten million times easier to work with than this. i am just going to stop with this thing, it was a waste of my money and time. i am just not understanding anything about it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] omarahum:
I don't understand, what are you trying to do, exactly, what command line isn't going through?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rdnckreaper:
i can't even get it link up to adb, i can't even get adb to run. i can't figure what is going on or what i am doing wrong. when i run adb from the executable in the platform-tools all it does is speed through a bunch of stuff so fast that i can't read it and then it goes away. the window will come up but it won't let me do anything. i have never been able to get adb to work.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rdnckreaper:
the only thing that I am wanting to have is gps right now and then i want to work on bluetooth. but i am thinking about just waiting till april for the new zt180 to come out, it is going to have more support with 2.2 and 512 ram and a 1.3 cam.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] omarahum:
You need to open the command prompt and then go to platform-tools (or put it in your system path) then type out what you want, not just double click adb.exe, i.e. -

C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>adb remount
remount succeeded
C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>adb shell

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] omarahum:
Seems to be going for anywhere between $150-$240 (not including S&H). I bought my ZT-180 case from chrisma on ebay, he's selling it for $250 including shipping - http://cgi.ebay.com/10-2-ePad-ZT-180-Camera-HDMI-WiFi-512MB-4GB-Tablet-/280607542254 He sells a lot of ZT-180 accessories http://stores.ebay.com/chrismaeshop/_i.html?_nkw=epad&submit=Search&_vc=1&_sid=993434151, and changed his ebay listings as soon as he verified that the ZT-180 wasn't a Cortex A8 after I told him, he seems to be a very honest seller, IMHO....
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rdnckreaper:
do you know if there is support the canmore gt730 dongle and if it has bluetooth?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] omarahum:
No idea, I've been completely broke and unemployed for over 2 years due to back problems, the only reason I bought the ZT-180 (from Flat Computing who originally said the tablet they were selling was not a ZT-180 but their own they manufactured themselves) was because my sister gave me money for my B'day back in July and specifically said I had to use it frivolously or else she would take it back. If I had the money, I would probably get the Notion Ink Adam or something along those lines, not a ZT-180+.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rdnckreaper:
i just looked that thing up and it is freaking awesome, it has everything that I would want and so much more. the only thing is i have read bad reviews about the december preorder and weird terms that could take all of your money. if it is legit and for the price of a galaxy tab, this might definitely be something that I might just have to save up and purchase. i guess all we can do right now is wait it out but i bet someone will do the same thing or better by the time the world figures out if it is legit or not.

the thing amazing me is how fast they are increasing the technology for android. ipad is going to have a run for its money once someone create a tab that has duo core with 2 gb ram running android.

Quick question

Hey guys -

I was just reading about a LG Optimus S (see below) and wondered how it can support Flash 10.1 when it is a Arm processor?

"On the OS front, Android 2.2 ("Froyo") is on board, which is a huge plus. It brings many performance and feature improvements, including Flash 10.1 in the browser and the ability to install apps on a microSD card. It also boosted performance; while the 600 MHz Qualcomm MSM7627, ARM11 CPU is a slower, older part, the Optimus S never felt slow"

Edited - This review was from PC Mag and stated (farther down) that the ARM 11 was still unable to run flash, apologies for thread crapping.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] starfighter1948:
I agree with your conclusion that there is something amiss with the firmware build on the ZT-180. TB has occasionally worked on the ZT-180 maybe for a couple backups on firmware 1030, 1126 and 1204 plus the two Elonex variants. I checked all three possibilities for faulty ps, namely running that in toolbox, the busybox installed with the firmware and that installed by TB (busybox 1.6) and they all hang. To my mind this suggests that whilst ps is faulty there is a common underlying cause, i.e. something is wrong with the android implementation. When I've managed to resolve the issue, it has involved removing root, uninstalling universalandroot and/or z4root, rebooting and re-rooting. Why this should make any difference is a mystery.

starfighter1948
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rdnckreaper:
Just curious as to if you are talking about Titanium Backup because I am running 1204 with tb running perfectly fine in all aspects even recovery.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] victim70:
Try this sequence to run GPS (http://www.chinadigitalcomm.com/post9030.html#p9030)

1. Roote permanently the tablet (I use z4root)

2. Install some script runner (Scripter)

3. Create script (for example named GPSperm) in script write only 1 row:

/system/bin/chmod 666 /dev/ttyUSB9

4. Turn off GPS by Setings->Location&security

5. Disconnect for 5-10 sec usb GPS dongle and connect again

6. Run the script with Scripter

7. Turn on GPS by Setings->Location&security

8. And enjoy
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] qmanager:
Lucky you! There are several cases already when TB is not working (in that number my case with the same 1204 and some other ROMs).
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] lmemperador:
i only had tb running properly in 0929 + cb version, in the rest of roms not, at recovery stage (critical stage for me) stop working. so for me is useless

i use now mybackup pro, when you have root, all is done. but so much time to do the job of restoring, :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rdnckreaper:
i tried the whole script thing and i still can't get my dongle to blink i left it outside for like 30 minutes and nothing, it never found me.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rdnckreaper:
i downloaded the free version and then put my license file on sdcard and made sure in dev tools that compatibility was checked. everything has worked fine since.

i have noticed that the dev tools/development settings/ disable compatibilty being checked has helped with a lot of programs that wouldn't run for me in the beginning even with my installation of apk files. once I checked it, i haven't had any problems with programs since. all my problems are with hardware that i want to work and with the lack of ram.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] lmemperador:
thx, i will give it a try some day. but i am happy with mybackup pro, even a backup made in my tablet and restored in android for my htc mobile has worked, awesome
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] starfighter1948:
We are indeed talking about TB. Although it works fine on my Eken M001 and HSG X5A it only works occasionally on the ZT-180. I've never had it working properly since I started using it back with the 1030 firmware. Provided ps runs to completion TB works fine, but for some reason ps stops completing and never returns control back to TB, hence it hangs. I flashed firmware and been able to recover previous backups, take a few complete/partial backups but after a day or so ps fails and TB hangs waiting for a list of running processes. If it runs consistently on your ZT-180 we must be doing something different. Any idea what could make ps malfunction when run from toolbox or busybox?

starfighter1948
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rdnckreaper:
mine is using busybox and works great. i don't really know what to tell you other than to try and install it just like i did and that is by downloading the free version then inserting the license code and make sure that in the dev tools/development settings make sure to disable compatibility mode. that is the only thing i can think of that might be different between mine and yours.

"Keep in mind that even though the Optimus S has Android 2.2, it doesn't support Flash 10.1, so YouTube videos could not be viewed from within the browser. "

Every review said this. i dunno where'd u get yo info.

What is the latest froyo firmware?

The Zenithink ZT-180 support flash player?

Thanks
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] alex-art:
1. There's only 1 beta so far

2. Yes, Adobe Flash 9.1 and lower
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] starfighter1948:
Disabling compatibility mode doesn't make any difference. When ps fails to terminate it does not make any difference whether you use the toolbox or busybox versions -- they all fail to complete. How do you root your ZT-180? I usually use Universalandroot but found that Z4Root ver 1.2 can sometime resolve the ps hanging issue by re-rooting. Which is strange as I'm not sure why the ps function is affected by installing su and superuser.apk!

permanent root with z4root 1.3.0.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] speedy11131:
Recieved one of these today, have been messing around with it, came with 1204 shipped.

Feels a little sluggish in the menus, maybe I'm just used to the LagFix speed on my Vibrant.

Would something like a LagFix theoretically be possible with one of these? Or am I thinking way too far ahead? :D

Checked the wiki, there's nothing about custom firmwares, which is what I would be interested the most in. Are there any plans for such a thing? Or is it designed much too differently?

However I do like it alot so far, so its not such a big issue, just idle curiosity.

I know that these things take time, just wondering is all.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] wasserkapf:
Based on my experience with the original Zenithink e-pad, I would never buy from them again, nor recommend them. Here are my reasons:

The original was claimed to have a Cortex-8 ARM processor. While Zenithink never actually claimed this, they never said that it wasn't true.

They do not release the source code for the Linux kernel patch. Even though this is a requirement of the Linux kernel GPL license.

If purchased from overseas seller, the US Customs may seize it, as it is not marked as certified for USA sale.

It just does not perform very well!

I purchase a ViewSonic g-tablet from Sears. It is a Malata nVidia tegra ARM CPU, and runs circles around the e-pad. And I didn't have to worry about customs seizing it. I would sell my e-pad, but with the extra $100 fine that US customs levied on me, I would not even come close to recovering my money.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rdnckreaper:
what all are you able to hook up to your viewsonic? i just got off the phone with them and they told me that the device isn't even set up for usb mice or keyboards nor will my gps dongle work with it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] wasserkapf:
It's an Android tablet, so it already has limited use. If I want to do anything serious, I use my netbook with Ubuntu.

I don't use a mouse or keyboard with it, because the touchscreen works great. I also don't have a GPS. But ViewSonic has released the kernel patch, and XDA people have been creating new kernels for it. Including your GPS driver is a possibility.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jtbnet:
I run ShareGPS on my Droid1 and Bluetooth GPS on the GTab and works fine...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rdnckreaper:
the catch with all of that is that using non-viewsonic kernels and anything else will void your warranty. i want something that I can play with and the company will warranty the hardware and not the software. i am getting sick of my 180, i am actually thinking about waiting for the notionink adam, it looks completely sick as long as it isn't vaporware.

Zenithink 2 ZT-180, purchased one need updated rom.

this week I purchased a Zenithink 2 ZT-180 i.e. Version 2 with the 512MB ram, Android 2.2 pre-installed... and my first impressions are :

the hardware is good for the $275AU including USB keyboard case.

BUT the performance is BAD.

It needs a ROM upgrade ASAP, else I send it back to the seller.

Problems:

1. WIFI drops connection but eventually locks on; i.e. connects, gets ip details, then drops the connection, then reconnects.

2. will connect to market place, even browses through applications, but downloads stuck at "starting".

3. playing a 150MB video is staggered and jumpy as though lacking processing power, using rockplayer ... with all tasks killed off.

4. Abode Reader loads up to 50 pages and images in a PDF document then starts displaying blank pages as though out of memory to load any more.

5. loads a good MicroSD card, and reads files and installs APKs off it, but on reboot of the machine it reports the MicroSD card as damaged and wants to format it ( did this with a couple of different cards )... factory resetting the device and it is happy load the same supposedly damaged MicroSD card with no complaint ... have not tried rebooting it since.

6. even with all tasks killed by a task killer the Quadrant performance is miserable as if it had a 300MHz cpu instead of a 800-1000Mhz cpu.

The performance at present reminds me of when they first ported Android to the HTC HD2 ... good proof of concept but not fit for everyday use. Though several months on Android Nand is my daily for my HD2 Phone.

In conclusion I expected the tablet to at least have the single application performance in the ball-park of my phone, but alas this tablet is currently waiting in the line outside the grandstand.

So if you know where there is a ROM update for the Zenithink 2 ZT-180 (512MB Android 2.2) and not the Zenithink 1 ZT-180 (256MB Android 2.1) then it would be greatly appreciated.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] prscott1:
I also bought the gtab and my usb mouse and keyboards work well. bluetooth keyboards and mouse sync fine. The latest releases of the kernel and rom are more stable but the xda roms and kernels are overall better performers. Using my N1 to sharegps, the gtab connects to it for gps and works very well too.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rdnckreaper:
not being able to access the adb for my 180 has made me extremely bored. not to mention the fact that it won't play any of the games that I want it to.

did a little research online and there is a reason that 180's are not sold in stores, they cannot compete and their roms suck. they are in violation of gpl license agreement as they do not provide the source kernel.

i just really don't like the company overall and am researching other items out there. that notionink adam that you sent me to hasn't be comfirmed to not be vaporware and i have spoken with people who preordered it and they are worried about their money because of the terms of the preorder. if, by april or june, it is out on the market, i will be getting me one of those to play with.

How did yo get root?

I mean,z4root and Androot tells me alredy rooted.But i have read along inet that there's a problem with "Superuser".The root "works" but superuser is not called when is needed so....

The root Explorer doesnt work for example,apps cannot be launched in Superuser,doesnt ask anyone,although the device itself is rooted.

I saw theres an update in the market for "Superuser",but i tried unluckily.

Which steps you did to make Superuser and fully root working¿?.I tried z4 root(worked in 2.1 1204 and before) and Androot.No success.
