Hello geng,

I AM A noooo-B (yes, with a capital B )... :p

Don't forget that most of the credits go to the original guys who manage to find the hole in Android 2.2 and devise a way to take advantage of it.

Me here, just poke here, poke there taking risk of bricking, of course, and put 2-and-2 together to make it work...

Now... where shall we have our teh-tarik...:D

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] lityen:
Hi guys, my first posting here and i find this thread very interesting.

Bought the Mi700 yesterday and rooted it straight away. Done without a hitch, thanks guys for the hard work done.

Got a few problem with my unit though. Do you have problem with the touch screen? Sometimes it's not registering the actual spot i touch. How do i calibrate the screen?

Thanks.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] abasir:
Get it replace one-to-one... :mad:

I don't think there is (or I haven't found it) any calibration app for touch screen, (even at android market)...

On Mi700 available only for magnetic sensor...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] erlern:
Hi, maybe you can show us a bit of a video of what problem you are actually having?

One possible way is to do a factory reset...

1) Go into Recovery Mode (Power off phone, Press & hold both Volume buttons + Press Power on once)

2) Select "Factory Reset"

When it reflash everything with the essentials, it will do a recalibration. This is what I found from Android sites. Hope it helps.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] erlern:
Yeah, there are no calibration tests because capacitive screens does not need that. However, I suspect that maybe it has to do with the screen's sensitivity to multitouch. Like some devices, e.g. G1/Nexus One, their multitouch is really wonky.

To test whether your device suffers from it (where touching two spots brings a totally different 3rd spot) download "Multitouch Visualizer" from the Market *free*

and test it out.

I will test it on Mi700 later.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] lityen:
Hi,

Thanks for the feedback. Tested with Multitouch Visualizer. Doesn't seems to have any problem. I suspect it's due to the screen protector. When i was testing at the shop without it, everything is ok. I peel it off this morning and no such problem since.

By the way, how do i overclock it to 800Mhz? The most i can get out is 600Mhz even with custom settings.

Thanks.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] reyman:
PLEASE.....PUT A STEP BY STEP TUTORIAL......PLEASE....!!!

I couldn't understand anything in the previous posts...!!!

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] lityen:
How do i unroot? Seems like the screen problem is back again and i may need to get and exchange.

Thanks.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] reyman:
Download ''universal androot''

just one click and unroot your device...!!!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] abasir:
Or just do a factory reset as mentioned above...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] snow_android:
on my unit different part seems to to have different sensitivity, worst is the menu button but back is ultra sensitive. Is there an app to remap the key to a gesture for example?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] reyman:
can anybody please provide a Mi300 recovery image....!!!???

I've found a way to flash recovery images through fastboot.....but this mtd3 isnt working on my Mi300....!!!

or please tell me where to find that mtd3 on a phone and how to make a backup of it manually.....i'll take it out from other Mi300 phone....!!!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hucqim80:
From other rooted Mi300..

run

adb shell then u get..

$ then run su u get

#

from there type

#cat /proc/mtd from there you will know which mtd block the recovery reside in..whether mtd3 or mtd1..

then type

# cat /dev/mtd/mtd3 > /sdcard/mtd3.img

thats it..

Hi Mi700 professional ,

macam mana buat o , i think before i follow this thread , i installed the adb/driver liao!

so when i follow the instruction , i stuck at 3. Run SuperOneClick > and then click "Root"... it will hang after completing a few tasks. Do not worry. Exit the program.

where it hanged but message saying "Waiting for device..." ,

and everytime i re run the same step , it will hanged at step 3...

so is it i have to remove my installed usb driver first ?

BTW how to uninstall my windows usb driver for mi700 ,

if that is necessary?

***** amended

1. I forgot to setup driver actually. (the CD-Rom setup.exe)

2. I unchecked the debugging USB , so I have to check the USB debugging

3. I have run the PC-tools 1st.

4. make sure i can list my device using "adb devices"

5. then i proceed to step 1 , follow it thru ...

Thanks all the pro for showing the most important step for us d developer,

i am gonna test this baby , we are moving into developing apps for it soon loh !

But sadly , i tried the driod vnc server , can not start server ... dunno whether is the

firewall stuff ? ... well anywhere will keep on testing ...

Bought my MI700 on 27th September and have succesfully rooted it based on the first post in about 10 minutes.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] lityen:
Apparently the factory reset on the Mi700 doesn't do anything besides erasing my google account information. I still have everything inside including the apps, contacts, etc.

UniversalAndroot don't work either.

I deleted the su manually and removed the Superuser.apk using terminal and adb. Although there are still residual rooting resting somewhere in the /system files, don't think the dealer will even know about it, unless he's a developer/programmer. :D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] lityen:
Have you tested Multitouch Visualizer on the Mi700? I've tried it and there seems to be some weird characteristic of the capacitive TS.

Attached is a video of the test i did. One touch no problem. Two touch, Spot 1 and Spot 2 don't follow the touches.

Do you have guys get such result?

Edit: Apparently i'm not the only one with this problem. The guys over at nexusoneforum has also identified the problem due to the Synaptics Cleartouch 2000 digitiser.

Oh, bought the connector for rm8 at low yat
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hucqim80:
Mine is working fine here..just plug it in and wait(don't turn on usb storage)..it will appear in the file browser..or maybe those usb converter does not support data..only for charging..check the pinout with ohmmeter Vcc,D-,D+,Gnd for connection..I've made another one myself and its working as well..

Custom Recovery..I have successfully unpack the recovery.img..time to mod it with amonra..
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pimai:
I too tried OTG with the droidpad using a similar converter at a shop last saturday. The thumbdrive didn't light up so I assumed it was not working. Didn't try accessing using the file browser as I am not really familiar with android.

I have been using the same converter with nokia N810 for OTG with no problem, so I'm quite sure its not the converter's fault or the thumbdrive.

The cause could either be the droidpad itself, the cable connecting the converter and droidpad. The cable used was a quite long.

After plugging/unplugging a few times, the droidpad went dead. So it could also be due to not enough power available on the droidpad to power up the usb thumbdrive.

To me OTG capability is very important as it is very convenient to transfer files especially work related files.

Can you please put up the step and the link? Thanks.... I really malas to do so at the moment... tired :)

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] snow_android:
the rm8/= cable i bought is not a OTG cable! :(

hucqim80 : maybe u can post the dmesg or other kernel log when u plug in the thumb drive - then maybe we can use software to active OTG without relying on cable?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] abasir:
I don't think software can trigger OTG... it's hardware... the ID pin on the USB mini plug needs to be grounded (to make it USB Mini A) to allow Mi700 to supply power to the thumbdrive... not possible to modify with moulded cable... :mad:

Hi guys,

I am embarking to finish up my extensive review on the Mi700. I would like to get some real consumer feedback on the device.

1) Are you happy with the product?

2) Do you think it was worth your money?

3) What do you wish CSL would change in the product?

Thanks. Would appreciate honest replies here.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hucqim80:
Even though there is a few bug..overall I am happy with it..

Not really..

Browser with flash 10 support and firmware and software update support on the CSL site..

Okay, I've upload the unpack stock recovery for us to look inside and mod it..
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hucqim80:
You're right abasir..sorry guys my bad..
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] abasir:
1.

a. Yes, I'm happy with the product. Fits my needs (as mobile internet device) as I carry a separate mobile phone.

b. After getting the unit, my netbook is a permanent fixture on my desk...

c. Mobile phone screen too small for me to do real email, pdf viewing, word/powerpoint review, etc as a mobile business man.

d. Ipad is too big to carry around in my sling bag and too 'visible' when being used. Also, I don't want the ipad, iphone syndrome, i.e., associated as a show off items...

2. It's worth my money but I believe with the shortcomings (below), I believe the good value for money point is around RM1200-RM1300.

3. Changes: 3G video call, Froyo with Flash Lite, OTG cable inclusive, built-in 16GB storage (so that the external SDCard can be used for media, photo, document, etc). That way, the SDCard can be removed/replace without affecting apps functionality and storage. Loading RockPlayer as standard would be great addition.

BTW, all my friends who saw my units envy it and said it's a good buy compared to ipad due to smaller size, lower price, more functionality... they don't care about the non-Apple brand even though these people use iphone... :D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] erlern:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hucqim80:
Yes it empty by default..just shortcut I think..only sbin folder contain adbd but was mark disabled in init.rc(maybe this is the reason adb not working in recovery)...most program such as nandroid, script supposed to be loaded up in sbin..

I've upload a dell streak clockwork recovery for us to compare..

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cwleong59:
In response to erlern requests for honest user experience of this device for his final wrap-up of the Droidpad:-

1) Are you happy with the product?

Yes, happy in the sense that I am given an opportunity to try a new product that will be the future trend in the market place. In other words, I am enjoying the joy of using the rising star so to say. It is a compromise between mobility and usability, this 7 inches tablet, I would say not too heavy to carry around but a joy when reading/watching emails, ebooks, games, photos, videos and browsing the internet on the go. It's overall performance is satisfactory so far. Yes, I am happy with it.

2) Do you think it was worth your money?

Of course, everyone would like it to be cheaper but it is relative like beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. If one can make full use and enjoy using it to one heart's content then it is worth one's money. If you buy it and find your experience using it, a drag, then I would say better spend your money on something else. Personally, I am pretty much enjoying myself with this Droidpad, so the answer is yes, is worth my money.

3) What do you wish CSL would change in the product?

After using for a while, below is my wish list:-

a) Having flash would complete the web browsing experience. The speedier implementation of HTML 5 will nullify this shortcoming.

b) Making the device thinner and lighter will indeed add joy to the portability issue.

c) The camera is the sore thumb in this device, improving it will definitely increase the photo and video experience.

d) Increasing the phone internal memory to 8 Gig will go a long way in magnifying the android strength of installing applications to the device.

I don't think that I should not continue the wish list further as the more capabilities means higher price which would negate the strong selling point of this device as a budget tablet.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] lityen:
1) Are you happy with the product?

Yes, certainly. It's one of the few all-in-one product that i can find with everything that i need. Everyone was amazed by what it can do.

Not to big to carry around. Screen big enough read emails and documents with ease.

2) Do you think it was worth your money

For the spec, it's worth the money. Though i hope it would be RM200 cheaper since it's local product. Not to say local products are cheap but dropping the price would allow more people to buy them.

3) What do you wish CSL would change in the product?

Put in a better processor, i.e. Cortex A8.

Bigger internal memory 16GB would be nice. My Droidpad is only left with a merge 60MB for apps. And i haven't even started on the apps that i wanted.

Flash support. RMVB, DivX, mkv support.

Fix the touch screen issue.

Support for USB OTG and supply with the cable. Put in a full size usb port.

Move the main camera to the corner.

Portrait mode for the phone.

Higher screen resolution.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] lityen:
I am using Move2SD. Transfered all my downloaded apps to the SD card. Works well. Just remember not to move any widget apps or else they won't work anymore.

Still think the Droidpad needs more internal memory.

Hi lityen,

I'm using it too... works well... no problems so far...

Has anyone seen MicroSD 16GB Class 6 anywhere? Just want to speed things up a bit... ;)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] erlern:
Kingston has one but for RM300+. I think it's Class 10. Kingmax has the cheaper alternative. Some ppl in lowyat.net selling for quite reasonable/cheap price. If not, transcend is selling at that class speed too (ebay or amazon). The one most recommended is A-Data (on Amazon).

i have found endless functionality for my droidpad as a GPS device, Fart app, Remote for my Home theater system (XBMC based) , Wifi SIgnal scanner for work etc..

Guys and Gals just dont forget to

adb push /system/bin/busybox

adb push /mnt/sdcard/superuser.apk <-Install this afterward

to get the full rooted functionality

just buy the mi700

i notice lots of ppl here root the mi700

whats the advantages besides making it faster(is it really noticeable ?),can see paid apps in android market, i only know this 2 advantage so far.

btw,where did u guys get the nfs shift game ?and other good apps and games beside the android market,i think some android market apps and games was special for phone only,

i have raging thunder 2 in my mi700 and x10 mini,x10 mini works great with the accelearator,but mi700 a bit hard,some other games only phone size screen.

and how to make the standby longer or nver standby ?

i mean,i like when im reading something using mi700,suddenly the screen goes black(standby),need to press left key and unlock the key,i think its for saving battery but too fast,i want it to go standby but i want it to unlock by just touching the screen, no need to press the left unlock key then slide up to unlock the screen.can ??

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kuntilanak:
Hi guys, I just managed to root my Mi700. I followed TS's 1st post, but maybe the steps should be rearranged so that step 5 should become step 2, as that is necessary for the superoneclick.exe to 'see' the device.

Anyway, I tried to OC the device, but it seems the setCPU app couldn't do it, no matter which frequency profile I load. It can load SnapDragon profile, which can set max. frequency to 998MHz, but the max. setting displayed still 600MHz. Maybe some superusers will come out with some tweak tools to really push the MS7227 chip?? (wishful thinking ;))

Another question: how do I get rid of those crap apps CSL installed there? I tried the built-in app manager, but the 'uninstall' button wasn't lit. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] abasir:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kuntilanak:
Thanks. I just googled it. Will try it out later.

One issue with the rooting: It seems that the Wifi function is affected. I setup the wifi connection from Spice to my PC in order to use my PC internet. It was fine until I rooted Spice. Now every time I connect to my PC, it will try to obtain IP address, then disconnect and disable the connection. Any one else has this problem?

edit: Turns out my PC lost the local networking settings I made earlier for some unknown reasons. Once I reestablish the settings, the connection was fine. This is weird...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] abasir:
Try re-config the wifi...

Long click on the connection, choose Forget...

Then connect again, reentering the wifi keys...

Works for me...
