[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] orangekid:
It's cool, people on XDA can get pretty snippy sometimes. If you notice, A LOT of people are posting non "development" type stuff in the "development" subforum, like random questions about screen freezes and stuff.

This subforum is for kernels, ROMs, builds, and stuff. Questions like this would be posted in the "Android on HD2 General" subforum.

I would also like to see a Droid X ROM, but don't know how to port a raw dump to a stable HD2 ROM, what I would do is upload the dump and link it in a thread, and then maybe some developer looking for a challenge will take on the task.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hazard99:
first Id like to say I really like how you handled this.

Secondly isnt the droid x software just motoblur? if so then there did motoblur roms a while back for the g1 which we called esspresso.

maybe one of those roms can be ported even though it isnt froyo.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] orangekid:
Thanks.

Well you have a point, but I think they may have incorporated a "newer" version of motoblur that takes advantage of the more features of the phone, and maybe more widgets. I wouldn't know exactly though. And honestly at this point you gotta do Froyo if you're going to cook an HD2 rom.

I don't know a lot about the Droid X to be honest (although I use that NFL app that was ported on my MIUI rom on my HD2).
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] danwguy:
Thank you all for your support and replies. I am sorry for posting in the wrong section, I never intended it to be such a harmful post or get people all up in arms about anything. I just want to learn, I am pretty good with coding certain things like any web language and some linux/unix stuff but I don't know if I'm advanced enough to take on a task like this. I can however design anything anyone could need. If I can help in anyway with anything I would love to. Here is the system dump from the Droid X if anyone wants to take it on http://www.multiupload.com/PPR6UW10H6 . Like I said if I can help in any way feel free to tell me what to do and I'm on it. Thank you all again.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] CrazyEye:
Where is the link to the Dump?

I wouldn't mind giving this a shot at porting, I have nothing else to do anyways.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] danwguy:
It got lost on page 2, I posted it there while I was appologizing again to everyone for this whole feasco (spelling?). http://www.multiupload.com/PPR6UW10H6 but there it is again. Thank you for giving this a shot. I really appreciate it and if there is anything I can do please let me know.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] CrazyEye:
Yeah no problem dude, you should edit your orginal post and put the download link in the main post just so any other developer could see it and possibly rename the post to "Droid X Dump" it could be helpful.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] orangekid:
yes please let's stop the senseless bickering and let whomever wants to try a port have at it without all this garbage in the way. If you guys want to bicker some more maybe PM or Palringo or something?

@ OP & CrazyEye,

Maybe CrazyEye should start a new thread on this, because you are going to want to edit your OP with new builds and kernels and stuff as you get more done.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] joshkoss:
Thread cleaned, and moved to general section.

@everyone... Please stop the flaming and please post helpful things, and if anyone violates the rules, please report the post.

Ive tried porting it. I have compiled the ext2 file and booted it, but it is simply starting the white HTC screen then restarting.

If sombody could provide the orgional system.img file I will try from that instead!

I am a proud owner of the CSL Droidpad, bought it in Low Yat KL for RM1699, paid extra RM100 for upgrading the SD card to 16G. Read your review, pretty impressive stuff given the short time span of 1/2 hour with the unit.

After using for about 2 weeks, I am quite satisfied with it's performance given the budget price I am paying for it. Web browsing is very snappy, no lag and fast, love it except I cannot find Flash in the Market. Maybe I try Adobe website first as it is still in beta phase for android.

The camera is a big letdown, IMO as it is useless it low light condition, but then again a cheap and proper camera should out perform even the high end hand phone cameras.

For games, I a surprised that It gave a superb performance playing Need For Speed Shift, really enjoyed the experience.

Hope someone here could provide assistance in rooting this device as my internal phone memory is down to 50M.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] erlern:
Hey, good for you :) I think you can load Flash unto it, but you will need some technical knowledge to do that.

Oh, one more thing, some have pointed out to me that this is the exact same product as the Camangi FM600 and the Viewpad 7. So if you can find any development forums or developers doing work on them, it will also work nicely on the DroidPad. Have you tried shifting your apps to SD (possible under Froyo)?

Thanks.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cwleong59:
Technical knowledge? I am a noob so have to wait for the sifus to try first then I learn from them.

Thank for the info of the other two same models, I keep a look out for it. Hope this thread will come to life with some sifus here owning and experimenting on this device. Yes, I have shift some app to SD card but sad to say most app don't support SD card storage so u can't shift it. Luckily for me the Dolphin HD browser supports shifting cos the memory needed is whopping huge.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] erlern:
Hmm... actually CSL is the first company to release that version of the device. Still do not know who is the ODM yet. Anyway, I would love to see CyanogenMod running off this device.

Any developers interested in this device?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nicholasses:
hi there

i'm the first in my town to owned this awsome gadget as i am a mobile phone dealer and been following closely to Samsung Galaxy Tab but when my CSL reseller showed me this 7" droidpad with the pinch to zoom feature and quite high processor built in . i fell in love with it. As i'm using HD2 running on froyo this bigger screen really what i wanted so far .

Really appreaciate if any developer out there interested in cooking ROMs , providing Root guide, or App2 Sd guide and not to forget Flash(as informed by CSL techical staff that current version cant support flash)

wth ?!! my damn HD2 with the same froyo 2.2 can jus run it like that .
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] erlern:
Good to hear that... actually, the Apps2SD is available under Froyo too... just that you have to manually do it and only for certain apps that support that function. Anyway, you are right... I wish more developers would support this budget tablet, but then again, how many developers are actually Malaysians who can get their hands on this?

I will try to root it when I get my hands on the review unit next week, but in the meantime, have you tried all the rooting methods available to similar devices (using the same CPU) like HTC Legend and Aria?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] snow_android:
just to post some info from CSL Mi700

from the terminal emulator, cat /proc/cpuinfo gives:

so that's ARM11, not cortex A8, i think that means no Flash. but msm7227 include L2 cache and floating point unit; also adrena200 GPU. for 800x480 performance should be quite acceptable.

which market app give the best hardware info? i can try that and post the result here
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] erlern:
Yeah, I realised that recently. However, I think we might still be able to put in Flash Lite, like what HTC put into Aria and Legend. They are running on Arm11 also. Cortex A8 is Arm7.

I think for now, the biggest issue is: how to root this phone? Once we can do that... we can try to access the bootloader and put in some custom ROMs :)

Thanks for maintaining the interest on the device. We really need help but none are forthcoming. I have sent some tweets to developers who had rooted devices before, but NONE of them have replied or even taken notice.

I hope maybe the rest of us might try to contact which ever developer that had rooted other devices, and ask for guidance to how to find access to root access. Thanks.

Usb OTG working!!

Sorry off topic here..

I've tried plug in the flashdrive and its worked..use filebrowser you can see its mounted..and also my mini Rii wireless keyboard also work on this droid pad..:D

you need mini usb to female usb converter..i got this when i buy Apad iRobot..but i have also made another one myself from spare cable..:)Edit : The one I made not working..maybe because I plugged the one that works earlier..before plugged the one I made few second later..so its still detected as OTG at that time..

good to see this thread....plz keep in touch with the developers....

tell them about mi300 also....its a pice mobile....i own it....its a good phone having same processor as in mi700....!!!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] erlern:
Thanks for the tip :) Will try to test that out :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] erlern:
Sorry no reply. I am going to give back this review unit tomorrow. Anyway, FYI...

overclocking is possible for MSM7227. The problem is that the changes must be done in the kernel itself. Someone knowledgeable in compiling and cooking just need to go to the Aria/Legend sections in XDA and get the modification methods from the developers who have done it :) It should work. SetCPU will only work with modified kernels (change multipliers or frequencies). After OC, need to confirm that it is working with benchmark tests, before and after.

Thanks to whoever who is willing to do this :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] erlern:
Hey good job on porting Clockwork Recovery. Anyway, I think development will be much faster once the Viewpad 7 hits Europe this week. They will have a different firmware, so maybe that can be ported to our local DroidPad.

By the way, I do not think that the DroidPad will be supported by CSL. Seriously, they have very few developers. I think they are waiting for people from Foxconn to push out updates on the device, and thus, we will not be seeing much improvement on the device.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] erlern:
Updated 1st Page

I have edited the first page with most of the development done and links to the respective posts and credit where credit is due :) If you want to add anything to the front page, let me know :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hucqim80:
Thanks..just a noob following guide from googling :p, Can't wait to see the different. Hope someone in Europe would upload their firmware here..:D

I've noticed that..we have to ask CSL to push Foxconn to release their update firmware..or release their kernel source:D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] erlern:
Don't bother with CSL... I just met with them on Tuesday. They only have 2 developers who are involved in making those pesky applications for the whole company. They will be forgetting Mi700 soon because they have another tablet launching early next year and a follow-up to Mi300 end of this month. I am quite furious with their attitude because they are just into selling/marketing, but not about customer support and device development support.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kuntilanak:
Well, from the way CSL handles their website, it's obvious they are not really into 'after-sales services' (heck, they haven't even answer my email from 2 weeks back...). If they are hoping the manufacturer to support the device, chances are it will be very slow, if it EVER HAPPENS... Foxconn focus only on hardware, unlike HTC, which the main focus is their software, unless Foxconn ventures into software support (HIGHLY UNLIKELY). Oh well, at least we still have the kitchen here, only waiting for those brilliant chiefs to come and sweep us off our feet with their amazing recipe. Fingers crossed... :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] erlern:
Got some news that CSL is going to have a follow up to their Mi300 mobile Android phone, later this month, or early December. Not sure about specs, but I assume it should have a Snapdragon on it, if not, why should they bother?

A successor to the DroidPad is coming early next year. No Tegra2 chip, but only a Snapdragon processor (according to the CEO). I suspect it will be either equipped with Snapdragon or Atom 1.66Ghz chip, like the Viewpad10. But that is only coming end of Q1 2011. Hmmm...

Anyway, any updates on cooking ROMS on DroidPad?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hucqim80:
Thank you for news and updates..I,m really appreciate it..you,re really well informed..

I,m thinking of trade in my Mi 700 and getting galaxy tab in return..i,m wondering how much would they take..

Seem like nobody cooking..if I cook definitely taste bad..:p
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] lityen:
CSL customer service sucks big time. Bought my Mi700 at IOI Puchong 3 weeks ago and later found that there's an intermittent problem with the touch screen. Went back to CSL booth at IOI and they told me to go to Sunway. Went to Sunway and they told me a whole bunch of stories and said i better go to the HQ. All i'm asking was for them to take the unit and send to the HQ for checking. Is that too much to ask? I won't mind if it will take some time.

What does CSL stands for? Commitment, Service, Loyalty. Yeah right. So much for supporting Malaysia made product. I think i'll trade in the Mi700 for a Galaxy Tab.

Oh ya. At least i got the software upgraded after 2 hrs of waiting.

p.s. I'll try to cook up something on overclocking. If i brick it, i have a reason to get the Samsung. ;)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] erlern:
The marketing department even confessed that they know they are labelled "Cheap" in the industry. But what to do? They said: we will improve... which I seriously doubt it.

Anyway, I would caution you all in buying the Samsung Tab... unless the price is drastically reduced. It is seriously not worth it since the technology is not that significant to ask for a RM1k increase over the DroidPad. I have my eyes on the latest Viewsonice G-Tablet (not the Viewpad 7 which is the same product as DroidPad). It features a Tegra2 chip. Check out the development being done in this same section.

Instead, I have my eyes on this one, that is releasing next month or early next year (very soon). Very worth it in my honest opinion. http://www.notionink.in/ - It is a startup company in India, true... but seriously, the CEO, young chap, is quite transparent in their development of it. I am quite hyped. Plus, their interface seems much better than what I have seen offered on Android at the moment. They have two designs with different specs.

I am eyeing on the Pixel Qi display!!!! :)

By the way:

hucqim80: Cook anything lar... can use Cyanogenmod's github for some interesting stuff. Like in all cooking, it takes practice, and seriously, I don't think we are fussy eaters :)

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hucqim80:

I'm not sure that it was really updated. The build number now is 5012_3_16I. Didn't check what it was previously. What do you guys have?

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] erlern:
Thanks for the tutorials! :)

Hmmm... I really suspect that Engadget got the specs wrong. Everywhere else sourced it from Engadget's article, so I am quite sure it is wrong. In some sense, the CPU is Snapdragon, since its GPU is Adreno which is the same as Snapdragon. But it is mixed with the old MSM7201 528 Mhz... which is overclocked to 600Mhz (stable OC for it is 614Mhz). Chippy from Carrypad got the Viewpad 7 video up and the speed is exactly like our DroidPad. So I am sure it is definitely not Snapdragon.

Anyway, I think the Viewsonic G-Tablet seems like a better alternative. :P And of course, Tega 2 is much better and larger.

Oh... time to dump the firmware so that we can upgrade it.

Since I do not have my unit already (I wont buy it), have anyone received Over The Air Updates? (just to confirm).
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hucqim80:
