That guide got it working! I am now surfing on 3G :)

I also installed Mini Info, wich allowed me to access some more APN settings. (I can set it to run in 2G mode only and so on.)

Perfect!

Edit: I also found a app to install High Res wallpaper (that works in landscape mode), called WallpaperChooser. (But it didnt work very well with pictures in 1024x600, but if I used a larger one, it resized it fine.. ?)

Edit 2: Oh, and install Spare Parts! Remove "compability mode", and this should greatly improve older apps in full screen mode.

(Not related to wallpaper, just testing 3G)

So, now that I got 3G working, there should be a option for sending SMS aswell?

What modem are you using? I failed to get my E1750 hooked so far even though I followed instructions (many thanks to duno and the Germans) to the last letter.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] frakk2000:
I am using the E1750. Try downloading Mini Info (app), when you click it, you get a APN button, when you click that again, you get to see your APN's and more info.

I also removed all the other APN's listed in the file, so only the one I am using is there.

Is there any custom ROM development in progress here or somewhere else?

Or the official updates are the only hope (?) for Android 2.2 FROYO ?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] megumble:
I did so, too. Thought that might have created the issue. Thanks for the hint. The great thing is that the modem works!

some people are working on it... I tried but we cant get it to flash... I even built a froyo image but we need to know how they(wowpad) is compressing their images.

Compressing what? The updates?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dcoelho:
Where is that app "mini info" available to download? »» ok. found in market.

also, how did you edit the file initppp... ??? I can't even copy that file to modify it.

My usb modem is ZTE MF627 locked to TMN Portugal.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] megumble:
What does your chap-secrets read? Did you edit it? And, just in case, did you happen to modify the evdo-ppp-ondialer files?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] l33tlinuxh4x0r:
yes and no we know that there are a bunch of img files inside of the zip file... But how are the img files created? are they filesystem images for example ext3 or are they compressed files for example gz? Once we find out and can extract/mount the images and then edit them we will be able to make custom images.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] frakk2000:
I was crazy enough to buy(!) rootexplorer to both find the files and edit them (press to get a edit in textpad option).

It says :

ctnet\@mycdma.cn * vnet\mobi*

(Didn't modify)

(My Init.gprs-pppd file)

(Home screen with propper wallpaper. It is showing 1:1 dpi, but the image is larger than the screen, so it just shows the center of the image, works for now, but strange that Android does not include a option for having 1:1 scaled (1024x600 ie wallpaper). Also have the Mini Info running, great for turning on/off APN and when you presshold the APN button, it takes you to that mysterious APN setting screen that does not come up in settings otherwise. I am running Zeam UI, and it loads faster now and much more smooth. I renamed the wowHome.apk to .apkz, but when I rename it back, even tough Zeam is default, it still fires up the wowHome. Seems to be coded down in a file somewhere.)

Edit: I am reading up on Linux and USB soundcards... It seems Android is supposed to run this native? I guess it is just to find the right usb card that works well with linux? Have anyone else tried a USB headset/external sound card?

I renamed the wowHome.apk with Root Explorer to wowHome.apkz (This will mess up your pad if you reset!) then I downloaded Zeam from market, and pressed Home, it asks for default, choose zeam, tadaa!

Ubuntu?

Would be awesome to get a proper desktop UI running on this thing given how nicely an external keyboard and mouse works. Has there been any progress on getting linux (e.g. ubuntu) onto the Flytouch 2, or on any other android tablets?

Something like boot from USB or SD card would be fantastic.

I can get ubuntu to run on my HD2 (praise the lord!) and it is quite smooth but it isn't very suited to the 4.3" screen - and bluetooth keyboards etc aren't working. I think the HD2 only has it due to its popularity and the number of devs interested in it.

debian native

The guide to put debian natively on a G1 uses fastboot to pass a kernel with arguments to specify booting from the SD, but these tabs don't support fastboot.

Without passing a kernel+arguments over the network with fastboot, the kernel will have to be installed in place of the existing kernel, or the existing kernel's 'root' argument will need to be changed.

Apparently burntool can be used to install a new kernel, but I don't know if anything has to be signed cryptographically or what... More importantly, what recourse I will have if the images I load with burntool have problems? (Exactly what should I NOT do so that I can always restore?)

I'm pretty new to android (but not linux) development, so I am probably missing some basic knowledge...

I've had the same problem as you so, all I did a temporary solution until 2.2 comes out where I can only see the letters (no squares, no RTL and letters not connected):(. This is how I did it:

1- install z4root (you'll see it in this forum as well as black markets).

2- do a temporary root using it.

3- install Dr.Ben0x ArabicFonts (it will ask for root permissions just give it to it).

4- choose the type of font you want to install and viola you have Arabic letters in your pad:).

I got my FT2 a week ago. It is the latest model, deb-2.1.1170. I found it won't charging when it is on standby/sleep mode, even the red light is still on. I am not sure it is duo to leaking or not charging.

Another problem is registration. It come with the 20 digit code, but not working. It says "registraion failed". If I use somebody else's registration code, it would say "the registion has been used". Has anybody here solved this problem?

3G no rooting required

For all of you who dont want to risk screwing up your device by rooting it or dont know how to root the device and want to use 3G just get a MIFI unit from ebay unlocked, it is about half the size of a mobile phone and you can just pop it in to your pocket out of sight better than having a 3" stick hanging out of you touchpad

Also if stuck on a green screen do this

You can reach the "Android System Recovery"

(1) Press the and hold down square button on front bezle (do not let go untill menu appears in step 3)

(2) Hold power button to turn on

(3) when 5 second countdown begins let go off power button and hold down the menu button untill menu appears

(4) use volume button to select up and down in the menu

(5) use home button to select

The device comes with a restore partition and os partition just like a new laptop

Another thing if you use CC player click on file exsplorer second button on left then the middle button in chinese you will see all the files on the root of the device

Also if you dont have a reg code then you have a copy of the superpad probably made round the corner

external sound card & noise problem

I tried plugging in an external soundcard into my Flytouch Pad today, the result was that the screen worked only in the vertical position without the g-sensors working anymore.

My Flypad also has the "noisy speaker syndrome". ;) As the sizzling background noise also exists while headphones plugged in, it has to be either a problem of the internal sound device or a software problem. As I read earlier here, there seem to be several cases where the noise came up with the latest 1170 update, which speaks for a problem with the sound device's software. Do you think it might be possible to get rid of that problem with the next update? I'm really not in the mood to ship my tablet back to China... :-/

I would be glad if there's somebody out there having any ideas concerning the noise problem who's eager to help a noob. :-)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dcoelho:
OK. its an interesting solution, but MIFIs on ebay are not cheap.

Using your way I did see the root folders and video format files in some of these folders but nothing else. I know there are files in these folders but the CC player can only display video files. I could not find the copy of reg code either. How can I see/open files other than video files with CC player?

As you can see, the modem connects, but does not receive response from server. At this point I need to know if APN options must be configured, if that's true, WHERE ?

Anyways, I read that a user had similar problems in linux, so he modify some router options. He asked for help and got this response:

Then the user replied:

Should I do something similar in Android ?

Another user mentioned about ""lcp-max-configure 100" option. But I don't have an idea where to set that option, to extend the LCP timeout.

Any IDEA ??????

It's impossible...the processor is not a x86 (or something like that, like Intel or AMD processors...) so only Android, Linux or Windows CE can run on this tab.

I received 3 of these today under the name WowPad.

On first boot I was not too impressed. A bit sluggish. Hooked up the wi-fi and immediately it prompted me to update. So I did.

Did a reboot, then another for good measure... Now there is a smile on my face :) Works well. So much better than some of the other crap I have tried out.

The memory however shows 184MB and not 256MB as advertised? This seems a little dodgy.

The total memory and CPU freq are hidden in the About screen though which is strange. Is there an app on the market that can show me information about the device?

I tried Mini Info and it just shows the memory and CPU usage but not the CPU freq.

Froyo update

I'm assuming some of you sent messages to wowpad support concerning the update to 2.2. I didn't have time to look over the 58 pages. I thought maybe they are working on it so, I sent them a message asking about the release date of the Froyo update, they responded:

wowpad is an "improved android", so it can not upgrade to android 2.2 directly,
if our 2.2 is ready we will upgrade your machine via "system update".
because your machine is Arm11 based, and android 2.2 require Arm Cortex A8.
we have to do some research and decide if we do this upgrade.

so, I'm assuming that they'll either take a long time or they won't do it :(
