[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Drazix:
Thanks for the review! Still haven't received mine :( I believe the first batch of Zenithinks were also 1024x576, in a later revision they changed that. I hope it's something else whats causing this, because 600 pixels is already a bit small, so 576 will make it even worse. It's also strange that I haven't read this issue from other people who received their unit on the german androidhilfe.de forum?

What do you mean by screen flickers? And how does the screen respond to your fingers?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] roytoch:
Well i do think i have an old batch then, as the screen issue is there and 26 pixels sounds exactly like the size of the part that falls off screen. However, I feel like I have plenty space.

As for the screen, it is very resistive. It does need a firm press but ill try re-calibrating it to see if it becomes better. Angry birds is playable though which gives an expression that the screen is not all that bad. Flickers; it just is a bit flickery in terms of backlight. However, android has the strangest habit of flickering when in put is detected, this is also the case at my desire, so it might be related to that. Will try to google a bit more for a possible fix.

By the way, I ordered the case as well with the keyboard and I typed this complete reply with it, it really is a nice addition to the tablet.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Zap!:
I received it today, in the form of "Orphan M16-GPS". I'm shocked it came so quickly, as it was shipped from China this week!

I'll have a full review shortly, but I will say this: So far it's a massive improvement over my last tablet, a ZT-180. It even comes with a screen protector! The only negatives are the sound (seems low) so far, but I'll hold back until I get to fully experience the tablet.

By the way, any cases for this tablet yet? I'm using my old one, but it is slightly off since the other tablet was a ZT-180.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dixie265:
Ive just checked my flytouch2 with quick system info and it showed..

Arm V6l compatible processor @ 791.34 Mhz

0.96 Internal Storage

Is anyone else getting these on theres?

as its spose to be 1 Ghz cpu and 2 gig storage?

feeling ripped off here :confused:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] madscalp:
Hmmmm what's your provider ?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dixie265:
I got it from witglobal.com , I just want to make sure that this is being read correctly before i start saying things that may be wrong.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dixie265:
Just been on to witglobal and they said..

The Anroid OS takes up 1 gig of the storage so thats why theres only 0.96gb left.

The CPU is a 800Mhz that has been overclocked to 1Ghz so thats why it gets read as a 791.34Mhz :eek:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] roytoch:
Nobody else has the problem that stuff falls off screen? I have attached an image. It seems to be exactly 24 pixels high, making my 576/600 pixels high theory plausable.

By the way, I used FBreaderJ (google it, it is free) for reading an epub ebook yesterday night. Using the left side of screen to change brightness it was very readable at night. Had it on night mode (black screen white text), changed the font (like Serif fonts better) and the margins. Now I have the perfect e-reader :D have to test battery life still.

The default launcher isn't that bad but the normal google launcher or launcherpro work better imho. However, when I change it using home switcher, it keeps returning to Wowhome (the standard launcher with the 3d effect). Anybody managed to get rid of the standard launcher yet?

I am also still searching for a good keyboard, with HIGHER keys, not only wider.

By the way: @dixie: it might be that there are two partitions on the internal memory, and that 1 gig is kept free or something, but android itself is NOT 1GB. Closer to 180-250, 250 being the large HTC Desire HD roms for example. Seeing as this is essentially a changed phone rom with some new icons, I can't believe it really uses 1GB. However, when it is partitioned it might be.

I think when looking in this info program you mentioned, the internal storage is one partition (980MB of which 848 is free here), System storage is one (192/84) and cache is also one (64/58). Adding all these up gives about 1248MB total storage.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] madscalp:
Incredible !!!

What appli do you use to read the processor indication ?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] g-anton:
registration hack didn't work for me(unless I did something wrong)

I've rooted my device using universal androot and simply copied files from SD card to /cache/.profile using root explorer

not sure what is wrong

Also tried simply typing code found in "license" file, no luck. Window just closes without error or congratulation but system update utility says that device is not licensed.

I'm on flytouch2, dory firmware(dory-r2.1.925)

Looking for a way to flash to newer one - downloaded latest firmware and burntool 07.5, but somewhat scared testing on my only one tablet what file should be specified at each box.

So please can anyone give instruction?

E.g.

ramdisk.img=linux-ram-disk

recovery_rd.img=linux-recovery-disk

system.img=linux-sys

uimage=uboot-img

userdata.img=linux-udat

am I correct with BurnTool settings?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] l33tlinuxh4x0r:
yes you are correct with the burntool settings.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] g-anton:
Thanks

Can you please confirm(double-checking) uimage=uboot setting?

Or should I just uncheck it and ignore?

Won't my device turn to brick if it's set wrong?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] l33tlinuxh4x0r:
uimage is linux kernel image

sorry i missed that earlier.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Zap!:
Well, I did it as instructed and it still asked me to register.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] l33tlinuxh4x0r:
I was messing with the build.prop file in /system and I found that my device runs better with the dalvik.vm.heapsize=64m instead of dalvik.vm.heapsize=32m

If I am correct it is like a pagefile in windows or swap in linux. Since these tablets use solid state disks this works almost as well as ram I am about to try 128 and will report back.

It must be a placebo effect as no matter what heap size I have I still get lag sometimes and other times I don't. It is really random as far as I can tell.

Also ther is a way to set heapsize to automatic just comment out the line or delete it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sublimee:
just a quick question, is 1170 alot faster than 1001? i'm running 1001 firmware, disabled anything *wow* related, using launcher pro and other 3rd party apps. speed of the tablet is surprisingly good considering it's limitations.

anyone have any idea if the inbuilt video app Ccplayer has a standalone app/updated version to download? I used Rockplayer and Mvplayer but none of them were as smooth as Ccplayer. Seems like only Ccplayer is allowed to use some sort of DSP within the tablet itself, video playback is buttery smooth!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] frakk2000:
I have just gotten my Flytouch II, and I have some minor problems with mine;

- Noise from both speakers and headphones, it does not help to turn off WiFi either.

- Charging plug is really loose

Other than that it works fine. Market works, Angry Birds work like a charm, both 1080p and 720p video works fine. (MKV at least, other formats might be a bit laggy).

USB mouse works fine.

Huawei 3G USB stick.. Well, it recognizes it, opens up the 3G settings, but thats it. Just says "Disconnected". If I enable pin on the sim card, I get a screen showing me input for pin, but whatever I type in fails. (Never tried 3 times in a row though.. )

GPS works, but only with external antenna (?).

Mine had a sticker on the button besides the screen, it was really nasty looking. After scraping it a little, I noticed it was just a sticker, peeled it off, and it was a ipad looking button under.. :P

So, two questions:

- What 3G adapter would work?

- Can I charge this by a male to male USB cable? There was a cigarette adapter to USB with my pad, but no cable? This is kinda crucial, as I want to use it in my car as a GPS navigator/spotify player.

Some tips on how I can get rid of the sound problems would be nice..

Does the HDMI have sound out on it? Digital sound to analog adapter perhaps?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sublimee:
hdmi is a twin audio-video signal, so audio should be relayed from the hdmi cable to your TV-out screen.

male to male usb charging from my own testing does not work, only the power adapter charging works. you could buy a charger plug to cigarette plug adapter for that purpose.

i believe only 2 types of 3g usb adapters work, both huawei's. i'm not sure of the exact model number, someone should be able to help out.

as for hiss/sound problems, i haven't had any trouble with audio, except that the volume overall is slightly low!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] slim19198:
My manual doesnt say anything about USB charging!!!

Where did you see this?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] frakk2000:
I might have to pop it up and resolder the AC plug or something then.

USB charging would be nice tough.. But I guess I could just try a universal adapter for car.

I am guessing both the AC plug and the speakers got a bit ruffed up in the mail, my glass(glasswithplasticfilm) has a tiny crack in it on the right side.

If anyone has gotten 3G to work, and with what adapter, please reply with model and what you did! :D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sublimee:
umm, neither did i. i said usb charging does NOT work.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dgcruzing:
Big thanks..

I got it to work..

but had to use "absolute system" to copy and past the files in the /cache/.profile dir..

god this reminds me of msdos days.. eeee...

but I have learnt to root the system too.. so now anythings possible with it.

I wonder how long before I brick it!!!!

Everything running fine.. will post back if any problems..

ok, next is to play with the "page files" if we can open this up a bit.. hopefully the lag problem will go away.. I am using a task manager to kill apps as to free things up..

one thing.. it does seem to take a while to charge.. but with that in mind.. I got a solid 6 hours of playing with it last night.. soooo... dont mind the charge cycle..

anyone else got stats on start to finish of the charge cycles and how long they are getting out of Batts.. I am using the "superpower" on it.. so not sure if this is helping..

and yes.. mines got a good "sleep" mode.. ran round with it in the backpack for 2-3 hours shopping yesterday.. then got home and cranked it up.. then played from about 8-12pm on it..
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dgcruzing:
agree.. usb charging does not work... tried it today.. no go..
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] g-anton:
Thanks again, worked fine, firmware is updated and working much faster.

BTW, figured out why I had problems with license - permissions. I've unzipped files on windows desktop and then copied to tablet. So obviously permissions were set to something like 777 instead of needed rw- --- ---
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dgcruzing:
yes, same problem for me.. I used "root explorer" to change permissions..

no asking for registration now... and just checked with the update program and then into the system info.. now registered with a number by Wowpad...

good work boys..

so you're going to try it again? why not try gingerbread while you're at it :P
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] l33tlinuxh4x0r:
is gingerbread out??? Also I really really need help... I need someone to get the drivers for all of the hardware, touchscreen, wifi, gps, etc. Once they do that I need them to make some build scripts that allow me to make froyo/gingerbread for this device.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bmamo:
unfortunately no it's not out yet :(

can the drivers be extracted or we need to search the drivers depending from the hardware?

After update 925 to 1170 Wifi not work(wifi conect and after 10s Off)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] l33tlinuxh4x0r:
We might be able to extract it. The ethernet program we will have to extract for sure and same with the usb ports. Other than that we will probably have to look for the hardware... the touchscreen and what not are built into the kernel.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] g-anton:
works fine for me

though got that nasty noise from speakers - I had it on 925, but it was not that loud

it's definetely caused by firmware - maybe they've increased speakers max.volume(didn't check yet) and that caused noise to be louder?

Really now? Capacitive 10" touch screen Android tablets do not exist?

what is this?:

https://store.archos.com/archos-internet-tablet-p-5005.html

What is this?:

http://www.merimobiles.com/M10_Android_2_2_Flash_10_1_1GHz_Capacitive_3G_p/meri0533.htm

Maybe you meant to say that a $200 capactive touch screen Android tablet does not exist? Because there are 10" capactive tablets out there and not just the two that I posted. Yeah, they are $300-$500 but they ARE out there.

Thanks for answering my question though about this tablet. I'm seeing that most of these online stores do not even bother telling you if a tablet is resistive or not. Shopping for these tablets has turned into a headache for me at this point. I miss my IPad (not my IPhone though) now and since I've got an HD2 with android on it, I'm thinking about just going back to the IPad for my tablet. At least until someone comes out with something rock solid in a 10" model that I don't have to buy from some website that is in broken english..lol. Thanks again for answering my question. After I posted that, I searched again and found that someone HAD posted in the thread about the screen. I didn't see it the first time.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] unixbob:
My superpad turned up this morning. The charging light comes on, and it vibrates when I press the power switch. but the screen stays blank. I don't recall seeing this problem in this thread or over on slatedroid. Am I missing something obvious you guys have seen before or is the device goosed?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] KOTwasya:
Press RESET
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] unixbob:
thanks for the suggestion but no joy. it responds to the reset by giving a long vibrate. and it does vibrate when you press the on switch. just no screen output. contacted the seller who suggested charging it for 8 hours but that doesn't seem right based on the other 4 tablets I've had
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] coderator:
I have also same hissing sound, I hope it's hardware related problem.

Since the device requires 9 volts to charge and USB only provides 5 volts, it may not be possible to charge from USB interface.

That happens to mine too, but that is normal for me. have you tried presing the on button for more than 2 seconds? I have to press continuosly for 2 - 3 seconds for mine to turn on.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] unixbob:
Gave it a try but still no result. Really don't want to have to ship the thing back to hong kong - would rather try and make it work. but I'm not even getting to a bootloader screen so it feels more like a hardware failure than a corrupt OS image which would be much easier to fix. cheers anyway

1. Has anybody tried to install 1170 as a virtual machine ?

2. Is there at all any sane way to install an android distro in [VirtualBox|VMWare] ?

If that's the case and one can install it virtually we would possibly avoid some pitfalls bricking these vulnerable chinese tablets)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] [duno]:
As I wrote I have the same problem, I updated from 1001 to 1170.

I changed the drivers

rt3070sta.ko

galcore.ko

rt2070sta.ko

permfd.ko

in /lib/modules , but it seems that the driver are the same.

I have a error in dmesg - rt2070sta: Unknown symbol wifi_power

If someone here could post the old 1001 would be nice, thanks.

My device lags unless I have hdmi plugged in. With HDMI plugged in it is really fast.

Does anyone else have this problem? Anyone know how to fix it?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] slim19198:
Try deleting your access point and adding it again!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] slim19198:
How can you tell the difference?

What was lagging before you plugged in the hdmi and how did it run afterwards?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] l33tlinuxh4x0r:
try playing a movie or mp3. They jump around and skip and lag. then plug in the hdmi and it plays smoothly.

Just after I posted this I noticed that my device was running smoothly without the HDMI... I am trying a reboot to see if it will run smooth again.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] slim19198:
Try using root explorer and renaming the hdmi apk to disable it, then reboot and see if it makes a difference!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] l33tlinuxh4x0r:
I already did that... It seems that hdmi still works and still reports that it is disconnected in dmesg. Also when I add a google account it gets really slow too.

EDIT: It appears that it is the google account that makes it slow... Any way to remove my google account from the device without resetting? I know that I can on my phone.

All I want to do is move those three files you made into that directory. I have to chmod the changes and then use the term "Move", correct?

Hmm, this seems like DOS. Very similar commands. So once I'm in that directory, I type chmod and then what? Do I need to do this before I move? I tried to move files with Astro, but can't to that cache directory.

Edit: I am rooted, and can't change to cache/.profile. I can go to any other directory, but it said "can't cd to /cache/.profile"

Select 'Contacts', then press/select the 'menu' button, then select 'Accounts'. From here, you can configure:

1. background data autosync (for programs to access internet when required)

2. auto-sync (for apps to sync data automatically)

2. your Gmail account should appear here, select it and you can configure whether you want to Sync 'Contacts', 'Gmail', 'Picasa Web Alcums' and 'Calendar'.

Deselecting your Gmail account Syncing should speed things up considerably!
