I'm trying to find out where the problem with the always-on screen comes from.

I think that this ROM's all come from the 2.1 Android Emulator on the SDK, which as you know is not able to power off the screen, since there is not a real screen to power off. In fact, since the 1.6 emulator even the brightness is always the maximum, although the 1.5 emulator does darken the screen when the brightness is supposed to go down.

If I think that the ROM comes from the emulator is because I tested a game programmed by me, which displays AdMob ads, and I have it configured so it only displays real ads on real devices, while the emulator always requests test ads. When I ran the game on the ZT-180 it displayed test ads, which usually only display on the emulator.

If that bit of something that is not in the emulator could be added here I guess the screen could be turned off.

Of course I may be wrong and even if the ROM comes from the emulator the inability to turn the screen off could be due to something else... :confused:

Cyanogen?

Hi all

I am just a user who has just got this tablet with the crappy firmware.

If anyone does feel like putting in work to this could I make the plea that they build against the cyanogen source?

That way we would become part of the cyanogen community and get all the cool stuff they get; multitouch etc

And if the person doing the work decided not to continue it would increase the chances of getting another developer from the cyanogen community

Thanks

Sam
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hal_9000:
May be other "cool stuff", but forget about multitouch, the ZT-180's touch screen is a simple resistive screen.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rpmccormick:
REQUEST: I'd still like to hear how to get market working! I still haven't tried using both my phones ID and MarketEnabler, but I'd like to get it working without requiring people to get an ID if possible. ME by itself doesn't let me signin (not provisioned to communicate). I tried that custom 'framework.js' file but it wouldn't boot after that.

As jtbnet said, we are not really experts here (at least I'm not), and none of us can build a ROM (cant extract/compile .img files). We are modifying the zenithink ROM with stuff via ADB. Most of this stuff comes from CM builds on our phones. I have already requested to get more CM stuff in there so things like the FireRat script work, and I am working to do that myself (slowly).

You will never get multitouch, because it is a resistive screen. You need capacitive for MT.

That stuff about the emulator is interesting. It would be great to be able to turn this thing off and instant on 12 hours later with battery left. My guess is that requires some specific drivers (to tell it how to power down our hardware) and we will have to wait for Zenithink for that. My screen dims after 1min no problem.

FYI: 0809 works just as well as 0804 for me. But the only thing better about 0809 that I have found is that the cell-signal icon is not on the top bar anymore. Does anyone know how to edit the top bar ourselves (maybe get rid of those icons... I like the pressed icons better)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hal_9000:
By the way, as for the differences between versions. I don't know if it was on 0804, since I went right to 0809, but the ROM which came with my ZT-180 had the TTS on it while 0809 has not.

Ok, it didn't serve of much, since the data files were not installed and if you pressed the option to download and install them, the only thing you got was an error message, but at least the TTS options were there on the settings. But 0809 has no TTS options at all.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] insight3fl:
I went from original ROM to 8/09 and my screen seems worse. When you touch an icon, they still hop aroun etc.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Drew442:
This is probably ADW launcher's fault. I don't like it.

I don't have any problems with the icons doing the wrong thing using launcher, ADW I have heaps of trouble scrolling and I always accidentally put icons on the drawer slider and the draw slider disappears sometimes too.

I just remove adw launcher and go back to launcher.

download launcher.apk from the old rom - adb pull /system/app/Launcher.apk

then load the new rom

then push the launcher back on the new rom - adb push Launcher.apk /system/app

then press home and it will ask you how to execute it - choose launcher instead of adw.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] insight3fl:
Thanks Jtb....is there not a way to just delete adw without re-flash?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jtbnet:
Sure... you can load 'Home Switcher' and then just switch between Home/launchers at will... then delete any but the last/default using 'Root Explorer' or another root capable remounting file browser... I have LauncherPro as default but have ADW and basic Launcher also installed and switcble for testing using 'Home' Switcher'...

I have tried rpmccormick's Script & have the No Download issue.

Can someone tell me if we can just pull all the Market Apk's from another device like

APAD to the ZT-180?

The obvoius would be an older Market & 1.5 Version.

& if not what is the issue in doing so?

Does Screen size make a Difference?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] stomioka:
I tried rpmccormick's Script, but has download issue.

I used my existing goole account for the setup. I read somewhere that if you setup a new google account from the device may fix the download issue, but I have not tried.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] wwilde:
Just Playing around here & having a go at building a New ROM with working Market. Im using Cygwin & cramfsck.

So from Rogerbraun's 10" Apad Archos Hybrid ROM

AKA:Orphan M16+

AKA: APAD 10Inch

I Unpacked the system.img to see the Market Apps.

Note these are From an Android 1.5 Build so would prefer 2.1.

Excuse the link but I cannot post links due to being a new user.

h**p://w*w.mediafire.com/?ocrc0413hc2gcit

Then went to Unpack the System.img of ZT-180 809 Firmware & got the following: "Cramfsck superblock magic not found??

Did some research:

In order to find the filesystem o ffset inside the firmware upgrade image we will

look for the fi lesystem superblock, which has a magic number identifying this filesytem and some other important information.

Cramfs super block which is located at the beginning of the fi lesystem image has the following:

structure (de ned in include/linux/cramfs fs.h):

struct cramfs_super {

__u32 magic; /* 0x28cd3d45 - random number */

__u32 size; /* length in bytes */

__u32 flags; /* feature flags */

__u32 future; /* reserved for future use */

__u8 signature[16]; /* "Compressed ROMFS" */

struct cramfs_info fsid; /* unique filesystem info */

__u8 name[16]; /* user-defined name */

struct cramfs_inode root; /* root inode data */

In order to nd the Cramfs o set inside the rmware image you will have to search for 0x28cd3d45

magic number. Note that the data is in host-endian byte order, which may not necessarily match

your PC little endian byte order. In that case the magic byte order will be reversed and you wont

be able to mount the image on a PC. You can still use uncramfs (or cramfsck) to extract the image

content, however you won't be able to use mkcramfs to recreate the image in the byte order di erent

from that of your host. One of the ways to overcome this is to use QEMU to run a Linux compiled

for big endian MIPS (or any other) system and make all cramfs manipulation in emulated big endian

system.

Blah Blah Blah

What does this mean?

I do have an Unpacked System.img from here:

h**p://w*w.mediafire.com/file/ocrc0413hc2gcit/system%20of%20APAD%2010inch.rar

So I was thinking of Repacking it with the ERE36B files then using AFPTool to create an Update Img.

Too late here now I might try this out tomorrow.

I ru Windows 7 Pro 64 bit and couldn't connect to the tablet so I downloaded Vmware and set up a virtual XP machine in it.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] csbert:
Just an idea. Here is the tutorial on how to extract img: http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=HOWTO:_Unpack,_Edit,_and_Re-Pack_Boot_Images

It is simple actually. You only cat the dev node of the partition on to the sdcard. These commands are to be run on the remote shell. So to make the userdata.img file, you need to run

cat /dev/mtd/mtd5 > /sdcard/userdata.img

I suggest this because it may help you to build your own distro quick. If you get something working on your machine, distribute the img files so other can just flash them.

Just a suggestion.

Im going mad....

Just got my zt180 today. Was told it had a webcam built in and it doesn't! Was told that it has 256MB Ram which it might, but for some reason there is only 184 MB Total MEM and 566 MB Vmalloc Total. I have a Captivate and Titanium Backup on it and I backed up all my apps and even went into the phone under data and saved the apk files. I installed them on my 32GB sd card and tried to install them but continue to get the parse error. How can I install these programs? I have tried it through fastappinstall, oi file manager and even titanium backup. None of these will work.

My next question is about the ram. How can I free up space to where I can run my games? All my games lag even when I use Taskiller and kill everything before I run them. Taskiller will tell me my available ram is 84 at the best.

My last question is how to access a different market. The market that is on this device doesn't even have half of the programs that I have on my phone. Is there a way to install a different market to where I can access the same files that I am able to download to my phone?

Yeah, seems you are having rooting problems, try to download and install z4root and permanently root your tablet with that app, then reboot. It should work better if superuser actually gives permissions to everything correctly after boot, IMO, but I may be wrong...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rdnckreaper:
do i need to unroot my device from universal androot? and might this fix the install parse errors that i keep gettting?

Another thing i notices is under my running services, it will not show me ever service that is running.

i uninstalled universal androot and put z4root on my device and tried to run it and received the parce error!!!! This is why I am mad.... I hate this thing...LOVE ANDROID but hate this device....lol
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] omarahum:
I don't think you need to unroot, just when the the actual rooting process is actually completed correctly, and maybe run SuperUser afterwards and see if you need to download a new binary (in menu of SuperUser, all the way on the bottom), I think it will work, but again, I could be wrong. UniversalandRoot just runs once to root it, SuperUser is what gives permissions to things to change system stuff on every boot, from my understanding at least, again I could be wrong....

I used RPMscript1.2 via ADB over wifi first, (has become a ritual after flashing this tablet so many times since July), then rooted mine using UniversalandRoot. But most people say that UniversalandRoot doesn't work with the 1126 beta we are trying, and that z4root did http://www.chinadigitalcomm.com/zt-180-a105/root-explorer-doesn-t-get-root-permission-t2030.html. As a last resort, you could always flash it again with the 1030 (all 4 files) - http://dreambeta.com/how-to-burn-1030-firmware-to-zenithink-zt-180

so how do I do all of that with my zt180 or is there a way to get around the parsing errors that I get with every apk file i try to install.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] omarahum:
I think you should probably wait for someone else to respond, as I only got parsing errors when I tried to install an app that wasn't compatible with the tablet, ie taken from a phone. Also make sure all your settings are the way you want them, and the time and date are set correctly and you are connected to the internet. Everything I have downloaded from Market on the tablet seems to install ok (except for the latest RockPlayer Universal, always says Installation unsuccessful), even if it doesn't run correctly or in full screen. Have you rebooted the tablet at all, sometimes a bad boot can make the tablet do strange things. Try rebooting and leaving it alone for a while on, or rebooting it a few times (meaning let it fully boot then let it shutdown a few times, don't reset it), otherwise I hope someone else can help you.....
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rdnckreaper:
i have rebooted lots of times. let it restart all the way numerous times. never really gotten anything to work from it. i do thank you for your help though. i will just have to see what all i can try and make it do. you mentioned that i needed to download z4root from the market, i cannot find it in the market.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] omarahum:
Seems like Google took it off again. Let me see if I can upload it somewhere for you....

I should also add that a while back, you needed the tablet to be online connected to the internet for like three minutes before superuser started to give permissions to things correctly.

You probably should run the sdk setup and make sure you have downloaded/updated and installed all packages if adb.exe isn't in the tools folder.
