Replacement screen

Does anyone have a replacement LCD display for me? Maybe from a defective unit that isn't used anymore?

4 wire analog resistive touch panel with dual touch function

Anyone with a little more hardware chops than I think this could work for the Flytouch2?

http://www.fujitsu.com/us/services/edevices/components/touchpanels/multi-input/

In the Press Release it says they will not offer the panel and board separately, but the second link appears to show just the panel for sale.

overclocking

The overclock widget detected up to 998mhz for me, set, worked, rebooted, CRASH CRASH CRASH. I have been extremely busy and havent had time to play with it but it did crash ADW on reboot. Ran Launcher++ (default home in newest burn img) but kept acore crashing. I dont know enough about voltages and amps to get a script working through overclock widget to be used wth setcpu. However it will push it to the full range of detected cpu speeds. THIS DOES NOT OVERCLOCK the cpu just lets us use what is available, other than the underclocked settings it naitivly runs. Any help with the volts/amps would be sweet. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A HOME DEFAULTED IN THE SYSTEM. if your playing with this you will have to wiped many times until you find a speed that works, dont rename wowhome without launcherpro in the system/apps.

Alos, i uploaded a clockwork recovery that loads but there is no button available for selection in the menus. Any help there would be nice too. WE NEED NANDROID.

i found the way to make the tablet communicate with pc... but abd still doesn't work...

really sad
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] stragulus:
Search the thread for 'burntool' to find the flash post.

You cannot use USB to communicate over ADB. It only works as slave to flash the device.

However, you can connect to your tablet using: adb connect ip:5555

Replace 'ip' with the ip of the device, e.g .192.168.1.x

I could really use some help... I've got the USB A-A cable and I've downloaded the burntool 0.75 with the firmware, but I cannot get it to burn... My tablet turns on and will get to the green WowPad screen, but then it freezes. It does absolutely nothing when I attempt to use the burntool. I guess burntool was written in a different langueage or something? It doesn't want to show any text in the menu's, but I can still follow along enough to select the img files and such.

Thanks in advanced. I'd really rather not have a bricked unit after a month. :(

This sounds like a broken headphone socket, or a wire loose.

Ignore the following quote..

.. because all standard headphones work the same. The buds from your ipod/personal stereo/MiniDisc/CD/DVD player/computer/laptop/etc., should work just fine. Unless there's a problem somewhere.

The flytouch audio signal is good for chucking straight into a mixing desk, too.

Firmware update 1480, instructions and download link

Hi everyone,

Yesterday I talked to the Chinese seller that sold me my Flytouch II and he gave me the new 1480 firmware , along with Winhex program and instructions. You have to create a clone SD card with Winhex following the instructions in the package (word doc file), then quick format it FAT32 then copy the files under the android folder supplied in the package, but be careful! I tried it under windows 7 and it doesn't work, then I tried it on a laptop running windows XP Sp3 and all went perfectly and smoothly. Also be aware that you must insert the TF card in the upper slot of the Flytouch the one closer to the side with all the physical buttons, this is the only bootable slot.

I have noticed that my tablet is running slightly smoother under 1480 firmware, and some icons have changed and also the OI File manager is now simply called File manager and has better graphics, also there is a handwriting recognition option as an input choice apart from more keyboard types. I haven't had much more time testing other options, but can post later on my experience on the run.

Also you should know that you will loose all your programs and settings and the rooting of the tablet. It is advisable to use a backup program (Titanium Backup Pro or Mybackup Pro) and you have to root the tablet again , with z4root for example, after flashing.

I have uploaded the whole package to my megaupload account, here is the link:

w w w . megaupload. com / ?d=WN82D9E2

Happy flashing! ;D

Hi fdomi,

Thank you so much, I will try to flash my FT2 tonight...

All the needed files are present in the android folder, so I suppose that it's possible to flash using burntool instead of a SD card ;)

Have a nice day...

@fdomi

i read that there are no fix in this firmware

can u tell us if with this firmware google voice is working or gps?

thanks
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] fdomi:
After playing with the 1480 Firmware for a while, I have noticed the following up to now:

1.GPS: was not working upfront, even when I checked it to function, after a reboot, it did work fine. So maybe it needs to be checked ON , then reboot.

2. Market: was not working after it tried to update itself, so I had to clear the usual caches in this situation: market, google checkin services, google talk, google apps, after that it updated itself and now is working even better than under old 1170 firmware: it has detected many updates of several applications I had installed that it wasn't somehow sensing before.

3. Microphone : is working, voice search is still ****, it does not work :(

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Jiggity Janx:
Think I am going to have to give this firmware a try. I definitely have an off brand of these tablets. My firmware is something like "sqa...infotm..." with a bunch of unrecognized number sequences (but def no dory or deb). I couldn't use Z4root because I don't have USB debugging available because there is no Development option. Can't use DroidWall firewall because it doesn't have iptables. My build.prop is minimal at best (doesn't define my dalvik.vm cache size or windows manager max events). I can't try Overclock Widget (and some others) because it tells me I am not rooted, although Titanium, Root Explorer, and other root apps work. It came in a box that just said MID 10" Tablet.

If anyone thinks it may be worthwhile and can tell me what ROM Manager device most closely resembles our tablet in cpu, etc. I'll give the recovery creation a try before I flash this 1480. Always good to have a couple different source files as options.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] iloveei:
I'm on firmware 1480 now too. Everything works as it should. I did my usual mods. I repleaced wowHome with Zeam. I used to work with ADW, but Zeam is faster and more lightweight in my opinion. I also deleted several apps (about 10), firt I rooted it of course.

Now I have 2 questions:

Which browser for this tablet is the fastest one in your opinion? I tried Skyfire, Dolphin HD, Opera Mobile and Stock of course. I like Dolphin, but I dunno, any suggestions?

The App called "Wifi Settings" or "Wlan Settings"... which Apk is it in the system/apps folder?

Thanks :)

I have tried to boot the linux kernel from the 1170 firmware with a custom android-2.2 install on the sdcard. But I haven't figured out exactly how to do this with burntool. Should be possible with the 'debug' setting, where you can supply the kernel to boot, and kernel cmdline. However, not getting any feedback from the device makes this rather difficult! It might have booted, but not using the screen as a console so you cannot tell what exactly went wrong.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dcoelho:
After flash the PAD, Market worked the first time I opened it but after a reeboot wan't work.

How did you clear The caches you refer?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Jiggity Janx:
http://gizmodo.com/5652558/which-android-browser-is-fastest

I have used Opera Mini (not Mobile) and Skyfire for some time. Since my DroidX has flash I've primarily relied on Opera Mini and been happy. Since I don't use a lot of flash/video sites I have been happy using it on this tablet as well.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] fdomi:
I already posted that in my response, but I will paste some instructions I read in another forum, here you are:

--------------------------------

MARKET CRASHES or LOCKS UP:

METHOD #1 : Clear the cache & user settings

*Go to the Application Settings (Menu — Settings — Applications — Manage Applications) and clear the data in Google Talk, Google Mail, Market, Google Apps, Download Manager and IM.

*Don’t be afraid of the Clear Data button, it won’t delete the programs from your tablet as they’re built into the OS. Instead this will clear your user settings, which will require you to re-input your Google Mail username and password. Make sure to also delete anything in the apps’ cache, too.

*Open up Mail, Talk or Market and re-input your user name and password. Wait for the little sync icon to disappear at the top of the notification bar and then try downloading again. If you’ve already queued up some apps, just leave the phone alone for 10 mins. When you return, everything will be fine.

METHOD #2 “ Clear Updates

*Go to the Application Settings (Menu — Settings — Applications — Manage Applications) and it should show 2 applications, Market and GPS_test.

*Choose Market. Then there is a Wide button labelled "UnInstall updates". Click that.

*Don't worry it won't uninstall Market, it will still be there and when you load Market again, you'll see the EULA and it will work

IF YOUR MARKET WORKS BUT SUDDENLY STOPS WITH "SERVER ERROR" AND THESE FIXES DON'T WORK -- TRY THE FOLLOWING:

*go into Settings> Applications> Market> Force Stop.

*go back to Market and try.

----------------------

Hope it helps, it worked for me and now market is even more accurate than it was in firmware 1170.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] l33tlinuxh4x0r:
Still booting the new update: But from the first 2 screens I can see that they updated the wowpad logo and from the world spinning load screen it appears that they made the device perform faster (mine used to lag a lot on that screen)... Once it finishes booting we will see for sure.

P.S. sorry I have been out of the scene for a while... The holidays and being lazy I guess :/

It does appear to be faster although the HDMI still continuously says that it is unplugged.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] helopigs:
See the attached image to see how I boot into debian installed on the sdcard.

Check the "debug" option, set the memory address (which is correct as it appears in the image), select the uImage (if only we had the source to compile our own!!) for the kernel, check the "linux image" box, add the kernel boot parameters (not sure what you need to boot android), and go!

Does your PC see your tablet when it is plugged in? I had an issue that my PC wasn't seeing my tablet. I moved the USB cable to the USB port closest to the edge of the tablet by the headphone jack. Pressed menu+power and the PC recognized it and I've been able to flash with no problems. Try using the outer edge USB port if that is your issue.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] unixbob:
I've disabled compatibility mode and it hasn't broken anything. I've had a couple of games which seem to have locked the device. I haven't done enough testing to understand if that's the compatibility mode in spare parts affecting that. However restarting the tablet has always worked and it's never "broken" the tablet or made any other apps unreliable
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] iloveei:
Afaik games don't rune that good on this device, do they? I tried Angry Birds and discovered some laggs. Sometimes it runs smoothly without any chance of lag, but suddenly (for no reason in my opinion) it changes to massives laggs for a couple of seconds. I never tried 3D games so far. But I assume 3D games to be a thrill like they are on the ZT-180.

It seems that performance on these devices degrades between bootups. Is anyone else noticeing the same?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Jiggity Janx:
The degradation in performance that I notice seems to coincide with the wifi "recycling" itself and/or searching. Not sure what timeframe the wifi is using to search for new networks because my build.prop doesn't reflect it. Try turning off the wifi completely and run through a few bootups/tests to see if that helps. You may or may not notice a difference...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] helopigs:
should be possible... but it is not.

Nope. I've compiled dozens of different android kernels with different configurations, but the makers of this tablet have made significant modifications to the Linux kernel source to get the device to work. You can see in the dmesg output that it says "Initialising architecture 'imapx200'", which is an architecture without mention anywhere on the internet.

Beijing Letou Tech, Co. Ltd. (eee168.com) is the company responsible for the software on this tablet, and they are in violation of the GPL by not releasing their modifications to the Linux kernel source (and Android). I've tried requesting the source code to their kernel through their web form and email without response. Maybe we need someone who speaks Chinese to call them to get an official response?

I'm tempted to organize a crowd-funded project to get injunctions stopping the sale of these devices until their manufacturers are willing to abide by the GPL. Everybody who wants their device to be open could donate $1-$10, and as soon as enough money is raised for a given device, we would pay a copyright lawyer to file injunctions. Here's an idea: we could make an android market "Stop GPL violators" donation app that people could purchase!

These companies are ripping off thousands of Linux developers, and need to be stopped. The only reason their bottom-dollar approach is even feasible is because the GPL has kept the Linux kernel freely available to everybody. If not for the GPL (that they refuse to abide), their development costs would be astronomical to create a product of this quality.

Eff them, that's our horse they rode in on!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] helopigs:
GPL compliance

To clarify the above...

I believe the individuals distributing the devices are the ones who are responsible for providing source code. So you should get a CD with source code (or a URL, etc) along with your tablet from the person you bought it from, and they should have received source code from whoever they got it from, and so on.

Beijing Letou Tech Co Ltd has no obligation to give us source code, as they were not the ones who gave us the devices using the GPL'ed code. They do have an obligation to distribute source code to whoever it is that they give their devices to (according to the GPL).

Such an injunction would have to target the device in question, rather than a particular company or organization. Online retailers such as Ebay and Amazon would have to be forced to pull the devices from their stores. But even then, people could buy directly from Chinese companies, and no injunction can stop that :(

I don't know if this problem actually has a solution. The Chinese have a long history of stealing the innovation from the West and using it to undercut us, and this is yet another example. This time, the distribution of the devices is distributed among so many retailers (mostly Chinese) that it would be difficult or impossible to get them to stop shipping. If only Google would only allow access to the market to devices that abide by the GPL....

We might have a chance if we can convince the right government body that these devices are using PIRATED ARRRRRR! software.

(joking now) Since PIRATES (ARRRRRR!) are known to be TERRORISTS, we can get the DHS to take it upon themselves in the name of FREEDOM!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] KG PackRat:
Helopigs, I would be more than willing to donate some cash for this cause if PayPal was an option. Also, I'd like to ask the members on here how they feel about someone making a posting on lxer.com... Someone should write an article explaining how the makers of this device (and most of the resellers) are in violation of the GPL. LXer is a pretty widely known linux/open source news site, so it could potentially be seen by someone who could make a difference. We could even post a link to get donations by members of the community. ;) Gotta love linux.

Reporting GPL Violations

Reporting GPL Violations can be done here. I think in addition to an article posted on various open source/linux news sites, a report of the violation should be sent as well. Do we have grounds to report a violation? I honestly do not know enough about android to be able to correctly answer the questions on the GNU site.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] helopigs:
GPL complaint

The only ones that can file a complaint regarding copyright violations (which this certainly is) are the copyright holders of the software in question. In this case, the copyright holders consist of Linux kernel developers, and the contributors to a handful of utilities and libraries such as busybox, wpa_supplicant, u-boot, and ffmpeg (libavformat, libswscale, libavutil, and libopencore).

As it says on fsf.org, we need to collect as much information as possible about the violations, and send the information to the copyright holders.

What exactly they can do with it without any financial backing is anybody's guess, but I suspect not much.

The Berne Convention has caused copyright to be recognized around the world, even in China, but I do not know how an average GPL copyright holder can leverage this to actually accomplish anything.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Antdroid33440:
Helopigs,

So can we collect what we know and provide that to fsf.org, or is it worth the trouble?

On another note; If you have done so, what are you using to compile code for this device? As I said before I am having problems compiling for this thing. I thought since it has a ARM11 (arm1136 I think) processor I could use gnuarm to compile but no success yet.

I would suspect that the drivers for specific hardware on this tablet would be the only thing that would be kept and not the linux kernel itself. Ya think they wrote that drivers into the kernel?
