Is there anyway we could take the cyanogen mod 7 boot image and swap with the one we have now and run 2.3 or will that brick my device:o
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ldq:
scroll down. don't use the first 2 files. they have problems. Use the one I attached. I just applied it to my coby/alldro tablet and it works !

EDIT: Any status update on the cyano for coby ? YT working ? Btw: how is regular video playback (as in movies) ?

Wifi (working or still needs to be restarted after screen goes to sleep ? ) ?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] WhiteWhiskers:
Not sure what an alldro tablet is but it didn't work on a 7015. I restored a working CyanogenMod, backed up the existing mali.ko file, pushed in the mali.ko file contained in the rar you posted, fixed the permissions, and then rebooted.

After the initial Coby screen the tablet crashed. No CyanogenMod screen, nothing. Just a black screen and occasional static sound coming out the back speaker:-( I had to press the reset button to get back into recovery mode and restore.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ldq:
alldro = coby. it's a romanian firm that uses the same design & device coby kyros does. only difference being where the writing is put.

The thing is I am using semi-stock rom atm. rooted 2.1 update 1 with gaps-passion.

After reading some on the forum with those 2 initial mali.ko drivers I found that later down, someone had a similar problem installing either of those 2 drivers. then someone posted a alternate mali.ko which fixed the problem (the one i attached).

Not sure if it helps you but:

1. I backed up my original mali.ko to the hdd via console (pull)

2. I tried mali.ko for v 2.1(thinking it's reffering to the android version). It crashed. no video after the android bot logo

2. I overwrote it with mali.ko 2.2 > same result.

3. used mali.ko I posted > done. It worked ok ! My device is a mid 7015 so it's identical to a coby kyros.

EDIT: What cyanogen mod are you using ? (link perhaps) How does it perform ? Are movies working (regular ones) and flash too ? Processor speed & kernel (using the one with variable clock speed ?) How does it feel & work (the tablet)? Volume ? Wifi ? I'm thinking of switching over too, but unsure yet.

EDIT2: Just realised that people used the mali.ko's on the first page. Here is what I used http://www.androidtablets.net/forum...sues-angry-birds-works-perfectly-tcc8902.html <<< sixth post

But leave the dalvik heapsize alone < works without adjusting too.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] WhiteWhiskers:
I think we have a misunderstanding here. I have no problem using the modified mali.ko file in a rooted 7015A running Android 2.1. The gaps-passion is for Android 2.1

What people are interested in is whether it's possible to use any modified mali.ko file for CyanogenMod for the 7015. I installed the CyanogenMod as described in the second message of this thread. It installs as CyanogenMod-6.1.0-RC3-TCC8902 running Andoid 2.2.1.

No matter what mali.ko file I use with a base install of CyanogenMod, it crashes on startup. Now are you saying that you have a working CyanogenMod on your 7015, you replaced the mali.ko file with the tweaked version, and can play Angry Birds under CyanogenMod where all the graphics are working?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ldq:
no. and I apologize. It was my mistake. I thought you just wanted to fix this issue in your stock rooted rom. Even so, the fact that the mali.ko I have crashes in cyano is really odd in my honest oppinion. On the other hand, it IS a custom rom, ahd i have 0 clue what works behind. Once again sorry, just wanted to lend a hand.:(
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nycbjr:
Ugh sorry for my tone guys! was a bad day lol..

I figured it out, instead of using the sensors.tcc from the update-fx file, I grabbed mine from the factory restore.. otherwise all other instructions are great!

Any luck on the video?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] vulcanrider99:
Installed the Cyanogen mod and love it! I followed the advice to disable the Ethernet and tthat has made tube wifi behave very well at home. My only issue is that my work's wifi is wep protected. Cyanogen doesn't seem to save a wep connection at all. My home one is psk protected and works great. Can someone help? If I can't resolve The wep issue I wont be able to use at work and will have to revert back to 2.1. That would be very dissapointing! Thanks for the great info and mods on here!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] WhiteWhiskers:
As an experiment I tried but couldn't get WEP to work. The Wi-Fi would go as far as obtaining an IP address from my router but would never pull the IP. I've read over and over that using WEP is like using no wireless security at all, you might as well be running an open network. It would be a shame for you to stop using Cyanogen because you need to use WEP. I always use WPA2 AES and the connection is very solid all the time.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] vulcanrider99:
I agree it would be a shame and I really don't want to give up cyanogen! Unfortunately I don't have any influence on my employer's IT department, and they aren't going to revise the settings in a large facility just for my tablet...lol. Hopefully someone can help and I can keep enjoying cyannogen!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] azpatterson:
It seems so close to being everything a Kyros tablet needs to be. I am half tempted to place my Kyros back to factory settings and ROM and get a Nook. Cyanogenmod on the Nook is sweet! (My Wifes) I'll stick with my Watery ROM and probably won't take it back and hope that Cyanogenmod developers realize how many people actually have this tablet. I also understand that the lack of released code makes this task more daunting but I'm hanging in there. I am willing and have run experiments on my Kyros and would donate to the cause.

My dream Kyros would: 1) Froyo Cyanogenmod 2) Play YouTube videos 3) Handle graphics i.e. "Angry Birds" 3) Connect to an ad hoc network 4) And tether to iphones GPS (Could take or leave the last one).

Perhaps I dream too BIG :rolleyes:

The development that has been done is great and I hope it continues. It just seems to have stopped. Not thrilled about the idea of fake honeycomb but maybe I'll just give that a try.

Needs Kyros factory recovery image if possible

Hi,

I followed all the steps as followed except when i did it i got the softmac info from a rooted and already modified rom for google apps so when it looded up cyanogen the wifi would scan and then turn off and then when you turn it back on it would do the same thing again. I then tried to go back to the moddified version that i had which is from this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=858952 post i now cant load it up at all it stick at the coby logo after showing the system info and coby i can go into clock work mod though can i get an factory restore image plz or what are my other choices

In desperate need,

Hybridhteoryb4​

i got a basic stock rom only thing was it was rooted
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ldq:
I'd have to say I agree with you. I'd love to have youtube & graphics working on cyanogen too.

As far as the "fake" honeycomb is concerned, i am using it. It's really working nicely and far better than stock rom. Watery rom just did not seem like it had that much to offer for me. On Honeycomb i got a 830 score. With stock I imagine it would be somewhere around 5-600.

@hybridtheoryb4 sorry but I don't understand one thing you're saying. you had cyano from here, had wifi issues and then tried another cyano ? Did you wipe your data before installing the second cyano ? You should have ! Also, do you have a bbackup of your original rom ? Worst case scenario, if you're too afraid of cg not working out for you, just do a wipe and restore you old stock rom with root. Best case scenario, wipe and re-install the first/second cyanogen. You should've read there's still problems with the wifi, so i really don't understand what you were hoping for here.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] azpatterson:
I agree Idq. I went ahead and loaded the Honeycomb and tweaked accordingly. It is running faster for certain. I am still hoping for a stable 2.2 and will continue to support that endevour as long as it is still being developed.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] vulcanrider99:
Honeycomb

Where & what version of the honeycomb are you utilizing? I would like to give that a go as well. Once again, thanks for all the great developments this forum brings!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] azpatterson:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1007732

This is version 7. Versions 8 and 9 are suppose to be released in a short amount of time and has been being consistantly updated. It is actually still 2.1 but has been modded to look like Honeycomb and has been tweaked to run a bit faster.

Don't want to make this a honeycomb thread.

Put Files

Adamdietrik, thanks for That thread. Thank you very much!.

But I have a problem, because my tablet does not communicate with my windows

XP. I can not use ADB commands to copy files, build.prop,

calc_table, sensors.tcc92xx.so and softmac

The Tablet does not work the touch screen

Before running your recovery.img could take copies of files

calc_table and softmac.

Is there another way to put these files on the tablet?

By some .zip or some other form?

The clockworkmod work properly on my tablet.

From already thank you very much for your knowledge.

You have to copy the files after doing the recovery. Otherwise it doesn't work. And make sure to keep the thing alive ! (press the back button several times while doing the copy) Helpful hint: you can paste the commands from the site directly. Just press right mouse button on the command console and press paste. It will paste the command you just copied from your browser !

Just installed it myself and it is SO damn fast ! I really wish cm dev would continue. GOnna see how my paycheck is going to look & will consider donating to speed up the process ! Compared to Eclair mods & stock, this thing's blazing !

Funny enough I even managed to watch some yt videos. The only problem is they are kind of choppy. Wifi is kinda buggy but works. Gonna test the video tomorrow. Btw: any tips on where i can get my paws on whatever good volume widget yo guys are using to replace the missing volume buttons on the taskbar ?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cyberpolito:
Little Problem

See if you can help me, I did the following.

1-Copy calc_table and softmac to my SD, I have the files orginales

backups

2-Then I ran the recovery.img

3-I can not put back the files and the calc_table and softmac

Other Two, because the windows did not recognize the tablet.

My question, is there another way to put these 4 files differently, with any update.zip or within recovery.img?

From already thank you very much.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] WhiteWhiskers:
You really need to install the Android SDK which also requires JDK, not just the JRE. You might want to do a search for how it's done for Windows XP which you wrote you have. I'm sure it's possible. Install the SDK, connect the 7015 to your computer via USB, and run from the windows command prompt: adb devices

If it's not working, just don't think you can install CyanogenMod. You really need to be able to push those 4 files from your computer into the tablet and then make permission modifications. The biggest challenge is preventing the tablet from going to sleep while doing the pushing. Until you get all the files in, the screen will not respond to touch. The softmac file is the least important, just has the MAC address for the Wi-Fi will work.

Solution without pc

There he got it!!!

No need to connect the tablet at any time to the PC (I say this experience and the connection to the pc does not work)

Copy everything to the memory card. The two files needed backuped the copy from the terminal.

Then I ran the CyanogenMod and then complied a update.zip me the 4 files you need (both who had backup and the other two) and ran from the boot and the following in the update-script

show_progress 0.1 0

copy_dir PACKAGE: system SYSTEM:

copy_dir PACKAGE: data DATA:

set_perm 0 0 0 644 SYSTEM: build.prop

set_perm 0 0 0 644 SYSTEM: etc / calc_table

set_perm 0 0 0 644 SYSTEM: lib/hw/sensors.tcc92xx.so

set_perm 0 0 0644 DATA: softmac

0.1 show_progress 10

and now works the touch

Des Excuse my prolixity, but my skills are basic in subject.

If anyone is interested and tell me as I am available to my update.zip

What if there are two things I do not work to see if I can help.

1) I rotate the screen when you turn the tablet

2) in the MARKET I can not see more than 10 programs when I want. Like

scroll down does not work.

From already thank you very much everyone for your contributions.

Sory for my english. Is very bad. Sory.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] WhiteWhiskers:
The solution is to replace the existing Vending.apk with a newer Android Market. Do a Google search for Android Market 2.2.6 to find the apk and install instructions.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ldq:
a alternate upgrade to the vending.apk supplied with the gaps package was posted. Just on the first page. it worked 4 me. However wifi is really bad on this mod... :(
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] WhiteWhiskers:
If you disable ethernet in settings the Wi-Fi will connect all the time. Not sure of its purpose anyway. Wi-Fi on the 7015 is bad no matter what ROM is installed.

QDL Success

That's why I spent an hour reading up on the QDL tool, and then 10 minutes later, I'm up on 2.2 without any hickups.

I hate doing it that way, just on the off chance something doesn't work, but, when you (have to not) depend on at&t to release an update, you are forced to take matters into your own hands. Until someone came up with the QDL tool, I wasn't about to take the chance of bricking my streak, since I paid full price off contract. My last 3 windows phones (all at&t) were the same way. You wait...wait...wait...and hope at&t gets its head out of its rear, and releases the updates, but, even months after the software is released, the carriers drag their heals because they want to lock everything down, and stick on their "value added software" (bloat). I had no problem with my windows phones, once again, thanks to the cooks on XDA. Once I found the QDL tool, and followed the instructions to the letter, I'm up running 2.2
[Streak 5 General] Lord60:
if Froyo is delayed until '11 for AT&T locked phones... does this mean that Gingerbread will be a pipe dream until after that? WOuld seem a HUGE slap in the face for unlocked Streaks to get 2.3 while carrier locked are still on 1.6 waiting for 2.2

something to make you go hmmm?
[Streak 5 General] p51d007:
Never underestimate the power of a carrier to really screw something up ;)

I suspect it's probably 90% at&t's issue.
[Streak 5 General] Made2Last:
Although at&t obviously has it's problems, Dell did just get around to putting froyo on the streak anyway.

I don't think Dell has any intention of putting gingerbread. They may release a new phone with gingerbread though.

I never owned one, and even now I'm a big supporter of Samsung and their products. I owned their mp3 (YP-P2) and it's simply amazing. I own two of their LCD monitors as well and also a laser printer, and they are all working perfectly.

I had a samsung clamshell dumbphone, and it was the most solid phone I've ever owned. Sure, the GUI was terrible.. but it worked great otherwise! lol.
[General Topics] JanetPanic:
I think the simple answer is because you are on the xda forums. Many members here (myself included) are very loyal to HTC manufactured phones. It is much like asking why there is so much hate for Dell on an Apple forum. The demographic makeup of the posters will trend towards users with some level of brand loyalty.

Additionally Samsung may or may not have inferior build quality in general, but it is a natural tendency for users to have more negative opinions of products they declined vs ones they chose. It is a subconscious way of enforcing contentment with their decisions.

I am not saying that there are no perfectly valid and real reasons to choose HTC over Samsung, or vice versa. What I am suggesting is that the trend towards negativity is impacted by the demographic of users on the forums.

The Vibrant was by far the most poorly made device I've ever owned. Cheap plastic, corners cut on design in places that made a huge difference (volume rocker was garbage). It was TOO light, due to the crap material used. Plus, the gps couldn't get a lock no matter how long I waited.

It nearly soured me on android, as it was my first device with this glorious OS. I got tmobile to swap my Vibrant for the G2 (after 40 days lol) and I couldn't be happier.

I'm actually a fan of samsung phones. I don't know why but I've never had that much problems with it that couldn't be solved. Yes it does feel cheap, but I've never had an actual broken phone because of dropping or any other physical harm. This is coming from a previous spica user, an international version of galaxy s (not really mine but I've held it more than the actual owner did..), and now a tab (which does actually feel way better than the previous two).

My friends own htc phones, and while I do admit they feel more solid compared to sammys, I'm contented with my phones already.

Samsung Phones are not bad. It's just your own opinion. Seriously, the majority of people who are complaining about all these problems are just people who like to mod their phones and stay up to date with them, plus people who like a phone that feels solid. There are other people who do enjoy the phone even with those "laggy" ui, gps problems, and touch wiz. The htc g2 forum is only full of this hate because they want to justify their buy. Hell I like to make myself feel better on my purchase by saying stuff about other phones but eh. In the end its in the eye of the beholder, the phone is different for every one.
