what about desktop areas left and right from main screen, when you slide it to sides? wallpaper moves, following your sliding gesture. don't forget for it. and it moves not fully, just by half wide of screen to emulate "3d" effect. so, actually wallpaper must be stretched to 1024x(576x2).

something wrong?

By the way, are there methods of changing that keys bindings?

for example, i would exchange "home" key and "last tasks", to make it like on htc hero - short press for home and long press for last tasks (or task manager for example).

is there any software or possibility for changing it in config files?

Hi Guy's,

I follow this thread for a while now grate inputs thank you all!

however I would like to have android 2.2 on the zt-180 after a bit of hardcore googeling i quickly realize that if we like to build android 2.2 we need to compile all the crap from scratch.

it is a bit frustrating that the manufacturer dose not provide a lot of informations.

But googleing for the SB\VID_5345&PID_1234 i found who is the "real" hardware provider apparently is a company called Witech (deduced form DeviceDesc="Witech SEC SOC Test Board" )

on there site http:((w+w.arm9board.net/sel/prddetail.aspx?id=348&pid=200 there is a dev bord witch is very similar to our loved zt-180.

and there is the full source of linux and android 2.1.

it would be grate if we could dive a little bit in to that.

I will try to do my very best to build something , if somebody has some ideas about where to find the driver source of the zt or at lest something a bit compatible it would be grate once we have this stuff there is nothing what can stop us form getting android 2.2

android tablet is not working under linux.

If you get :

adrian@adrian-linux:~/android-sdk-linux_x86/tools$ ./adb devices

List of devices attached

????????????	no permissions

then:

first look at the usb attache to the box :

lsusb:

adrian@adrian-linux:/etc/udev/rules.d$ lsusb

Bus 002 Device 005: ID 0bb4:0c01 High Tech Computer Corp.

this is the zt-180 cool but we need to add the udev rule.

change the folder to:

/etc/udev/rules.d/

then with your favorite editor

sudo vi 51-android.rules

For Gusty/Hardy, edit the file to read:

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0bb4", MODE="0666"

For Dapper, edit the file to read:

SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0bb4", MODE="0666"

save (with vi :wq)

Now execute:

chmod a+r /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules

and then you get you zt-180 recognized by ubunut cool!!!

I've managed to get my E160E almost working for the first time in 1014 but only if I have previously turned wifi on and then off. Its not too fast either because it seems to switch between WCDMA (blue led) and HSDPA (cyan led) and my sim only works on HSDA. When idle the E160E is in WCDMA mode but switches in and out of HSDPA when a web page is downloaded... very strange!!!

If i don't use the wifi after reboot then the E160E just connects in WCDMA mode and I get nothing.

Virtual Keyboard - OH so bad

I'm running 0929 (CB) and everything is work great, except keyboarding in extremely painful. Press a letter, you get another letter. Pressing the backspace, you might get it to backspace or add another letter. I have tried a light touch, firm touch, finger tip, and full finger. Any suggestion on how to get the keyboard working normally. :(

but first of all i would like to backup the rom of my device. but i'm not able to download rom manager from slide4me.

my market does not work

before using rpm 1.2 i would like to know how i could back up my original rom and then i would probably try rpm script.

the adb procedure gave my an error, and i was not able to send the data from my pc to my tablet. the firmware is the original one whic came after the shipping

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] omarahum:
Really, Zenithink's 0929 ROM had it in there? Never saw it, and it was never mentioned in the changelog. On the 0929, I downloaded and tried to use HTC_Calibrate.apk from this forum, but it didn't work for me. Anyways, he was asking if he should flash the 1013, which doesn't have it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jtbnet:
I beleive the earlier version was on the tablet But not until 1014 was the new version there AND was it made accessible via the DevTools app that was installed... in 0926 you would have needed to run it via ADB or some terminal program like better term to use it...

Great work, the new ROM is a lot better!

Got just 2 problems left:

1: Some screens are stuck in landscape mode (like the facebook apps home page, it doesnt rotate in any way, but is just stuck), is there anything I can do about it?

2: I really dislike the fact that the standby time is so short, isnt there any kind of power management in there or is Zenithink working on this?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] omarahum:
1. I think some apps are supposed to run that way.

2. Do you mean the screen timeout? That you can change from the display settings (Settings/Sound & Display/Screen timeout, the longest time period is 30minutes, then a never option).

Somewhat poor video playback

This is probably a bit off the thread topic (apologies), but has anybody found a (codec + resolution) that can play videos on this ZT-180 without the visible playback stuttering? It is subtle, but noticeable, and I find it quite distracting (Avatar is particularly bad).

I've tried H.264 in MP4 and MKV with 2.0 channel audio, in 1280x720 and 1024x576 (my ZT-180's native screen size). I've also varied the bps from low to moderately high (low to moderately high quality). Nothing seems to make a difference.

I've also tried many different players (Rock Player, Real Player, ES Explorer Player, etc.) and they all play videos with this same stuttering, so it's probably the hardware (no video acceleration on this device).

I'm just curious if anybody else is seeing this video playback issue, and if they've attempted to solve it.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] wroclaw1:
I don't think the the developers from Zenthink have registered a USB vendor ID. Have a look at the attached boot log . You will see that the CPU is a IMAPX200 manufactured by Infotm Micro Electronics . The 3D GPU is a GC600 from Vivante.

I think it's a waste of time to look at the Witech board which uses a Samsung S3C6410 CPU.

I also would really like to have the kernel sources and the GPU drivers (Running at the moment X11 on the frame buffer without acceleration), so keep on searching for any info.

I have tried to use the opengl-es driver from Zenthink, but got stuck as the libraries are compiled against a non standard libc library. I found that Marvel is using the same vivante GPU so i tried their drivers. Linking was ok, but at runtime i got a "illegal instruction error". Most likely because they use an ARM9 Cortex CPU with an incompatible instruction set for the ZT-180.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] wasserkapf:
I still say that it is most likely that Zenithink did not develop this tablet from scratch. It is most likely that they "borrowed" this 'n that from other existing projects. They would then re-brand them to disguise the "borrowing" So it is possible they borrowed the samsung design. Also, Witech offers a design service, so maybe Zenithink had them do the board design.

Hopefully, some day we will know for sure.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bhood:
Yeah, just tried mVideoPlayer. Same issue. This must be some kind of hardware flaw with my specific device.

If I might ask, when you're creating your videos, what tool are you using (I'm using RipBot264 1.16.2), and what settings are you using for quality and resolution? I'd like to compare to my own settings, and perhaps adjust to see if that makes a difference.

Just installed the 1020 firmware. Market apps were available after syncing with my Google account. I was able to download and install a previously purchased app.

I then concentrated on the screen calibration. I ran the ts_calibrate app, with some improvement, but the on-screen keyboard still was bad. So I then did the mod to the /etc/ts.conf file.

Suddenly poking didn't work at all! Swiping still worked, so WTF? I undid the changes to ts.conf, and re-ran ts_calibrate, but things were still bad. I have a screen protector that I added, so I lifted it up and tried. That was it! things work much better! I re-laid the screen protector, and the improvement still is there.

I then tried to install the mvideoplayer app from Market. I now get a failed download error. This seems to happen on any attempt to download an app via Market. It worked at first, but now it doesn't. WTF!

finding JTAG

Somebody searched for the JTAG?

I checked voltage and resistance, but no luck to find any variants.

I not familiar with electronics, but analogious from another my ARM

device (switch), jtag pins must have?:

TDO 0v 8Mohm

TDI 3.3v >10kOhm

TMS 3.3v >10kOhm

TCK 3.3v >10kOhm

On epad:

TDO? 8Mohm

3.4 (2) > 10 kOhm

others < 10kOhm

The main question is: what happens if I erase the uboot area?

BigButton+Power mode will be still work? :confused:

Also: in the BigButton+Power mode the all pins do not have voltage at all.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Christian Buchner:
Uuh, my ZT-180 running the 1013 firmware just "forgot" that it had been provisioned and is otherwise acting strange now (long boot times, software updates from market not installing, apps crashing randomly, random startup sounds, etc). This could be due to some corruption of the user data partition.

I will be going back to my own 0927 + CB mod firmware now and stick with it. So it seems like I will be developing that UMTS (WCDMA) dialer after all.

I had a few problems after flashing the 1020, but not right after flashing the tablet, about 5 boots later. I repushed the rpmscript apks, which didn't seem to help, then I pushed them again, and then manually installed all the apks, deleted the dalvik-cache, and then after two reboots, everything (exept that pesky taskbar not autoclosing with certain programs) seems to be working again, no errors at boot up, and seems to boot faster. I haven't flashed my userdata partition for the 10xx ROMs, and I'm glad I don't have to. Now just have to see if the stability sticks.....
