I just wanted to take the time and let Dexter know that he rulez the Elocity. Hoping that Elocity will get a hold of him soon as I spoke highly of him and hope they will be sending him a free Elocity since he has made so many changes that has made many customers happy owning one.

settings crash on certain sections

I appreciate the work that goes into these mods. I installed the 1.1 mod and my settings crash as follows -

Sound - Select volume

Display - Select Brightness

I had your prior mod and this did not happen. I did not erase all settings/applications prior to install.

Thanks,

Jim
[A7 Android Development] RojasTKD:
I just tried it and he's correct. Going into setting to change britness or volum results in a FC pop-up.

Not such a big deal for volum as there is a dedicated button for that, but britness is another story. I guess we can try the brightness widget as a workaround.

UPDATE: Britness widget works. I use the Beautiful Widgets one so am limited to either 100% or 40%. That's Good enough for me.
[A7 Android Development] hudd333:

Worldwide time app also now crashes.

Just a few questions...

I just wanted to see if you had solutions for a few problems, I love the ROM though :P I am using V1.1

1.Skype will not log in

2.The tablet will not detect Ad-Hoc networks

3. How do you get the stock theme back like the guy in the video instead of the new Elocity App Viewer/Home Screen?

Thanks in Advance!! :D
[A7 Android Development] bhageman:
Had the same issueissue even after factory reset. Did a manual (pin in the back) reset and everything was fine when it rebooted.
[A7 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
1. USA problem

3. ? elocity uses a stock launcher, download the others from market

How can we get skype working? ?
[A7 Android Development] sagggas:
I haven't done anything to resolve this, but when I was using the device last night, it seemed to be working with no browser closures.

Are you only having problems with Dolphin HD? I installed a bunch of the add-ons for that. Perhaps they fixed themselves when I rebooted...

Don't know for sure. I'll pay closer attention when I get home tonight.

Installation aborted.

I don't know what i am doing wrong. I am very new to this process, but other than feeling like a moron, I should not be having this much trouble. I follow directions well, but I am doing something wrong, which is eating my soul. My poor daughter, can't have her Christmas present until I can get it to work properly. I am afraid she is losing faith in dear old dad. Any help would make a child and my Christmas.

Use the update option through the android update in the os not the recovery menu....worked for me
[A7 Android Development] jimmcghee:
Sometimes the file I download is about 90 meg and sometimes its around 220k. Don't know why, but make sure what you're downloading is the right size. If you can unzip the file successfully, its probably OK.

Your sd card may also be bad or just need reformatting. Try a new card.

Hope this helps.
[A7 Android Development] jahnaviv:
i followed your steps but when i hold the power button to enter recovery mode the elocity does not get into recovery mode .

these are the steps i am doing

1. Power of

2. When green light comes on I hold power , get on screen display indicating hold power button down to enter recovery mode

3. Then nothing happens ?

Can you please let me know if i am missing something ?
[A7 Android Development] sagggas:
abraxtacy, sounds like the zip file was corrupt. This happens all the time. Try to redownload it and try the steps again. It sounds like you're doing everything else right.

jahnaviv, at step 3. when "nothing happens", do you see a little android and a box in the center of the screen? If so, you need to press the home (soft key) button to get to the recovery selection page. The you can use the other soft keys to navigate the options. If you don't see the little android... hmmmmm... might be bricked - unless of course it still boots. If that's the case, try using the setting menu (via Elocity's instructions) to perform the update.
[A7 Android Development] jahnaviv:
thanks . It worked like a breeze . i re downloaded and after the install did a wipe / factory reset and have it working . thanks

Have you had issues logging into skype ?
[A7 Android Development] sagggas:
There are skype conversations all over the A7 and other tablet threads. I don't use it, but if my memory serves me correctly, skype does not work on any tablets in the US. I don't know the technical reasons, though. You'll need to search for those. But some of them are addressed in this thread.
[A7 Android Development] sjpn:
i tried the ad-hoc fix. but i'm not sure if i'm applying it correctly. I copied the two files into /system/bin and tried it after a restart, but that didn't work. then i tried running the updater-script in META-INF/... but i am having trouble running it. i tried with android terminal emulator after su root but get permission denied. do i need to copy over the META-INF folder to / ? any help is appreciated. thanks.

downloaded 6 times new sd card even different computer

Hello all' I have tried to get a functional copy of the Download ElocityMod v1.1

I have tried two differnt sd cards and two different computers.

Once extracted the files are about 150 megs, so I know all the files are there.

I have tried to wipe the tablet, but still reboots right back to where it was.

update.zip and .android_secure is all that is on the sd card.

in update.zip file I have:

Try reformatting the SD card to FAT or FAT32
[A7 Android Development] sagggas:
Also, make sure its 'Update.zip' not 'update.zip'.
[A7 Android Development] abraxtacy:
i have it in fat32

I have the 16 and 32 in fat32 sd cards any other ideas?
[A7 Android Development] jazzbone:
again, make sure to capitalize the letter U in Update.

Also, you should not extract the files. The tablet installs the zip file.
[A7 Android Development] abraxtacy:
I got it. Thanks for this forum

I do have to say with this new mod, the a7 is well worth working through the junky initial software. Amazing what you all are able to do, and i am proud i can even get your talent onto the a7. Not sucking up, but WOW! Like a whole different world. I might go buy my daughter something else and keep this as my own. Very impressed.

sd storage not showing

I have dexters most recenr update installed, but i can't get the a7 to let me do anything with my sd card. What is on there i can see, but i can't get the device to tell me anything about my external storage. Any fix for this? I like where i am, but don't want to mess amything up.

Can anybody upload the "build.prop" file included in Mod 1.0?
[A7 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:

[A7 Android Development] DroidxRage:
Dexter... i did a full wipe and still had the su issue. I installed version 1.0 and added the superuser application from the market and it works perfectly. I dunno, but seeing this device never needed su out of the box maybe something with the way you added it to the rom in 1.0a.

Nisshi - imo you're better off running version 1.0 whereas even after modifying build.prop on the official build it still couldn't download all my apps. 1.0 seems perfect. I'll look for the link for you.
[A7 Android Development] DroidxRage:
Here's the link for 1.0 with full gapps and working SU: http://dext3r.komodin.org/ElocityA7/ElocityModv10.zip

Which file to download?

Already upgraded to12/24 build PBJ8000.2.0121 - which file to download v1.0 or v1.0a? All I want is Market - can I avoid the SU install and the problems? Thanks
[A7 Android Development] DroidxRage:
Post right above yours bud. Use 1.0 imo, first link there is Dexter's first version without the SU issues. Full market and gapps. Remember to factory reset before updating. It is based off the new update also.
[A7 Android Development] hoagm:
I've been using "su" since it came out of the box. Not sure what you mean by "it never was there".
[A7 Android Development] DroidxRage:
Exactly my point. Something was added in 1.0a to cause this since 1.0 was fine.
[A7 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
ok, something crossed my mind now.. i put "su" always in /system/bin and im quite sure your "su" is located in /system/xbin now, so thats why my superuser.apk also fails as its made for this version and your su is not. or simply the su in /system/xbin has no suid 0 set.

edit:

ok, i was right. in xbin folder another SU was found, so that one is not compatible with this superuser.apk..

its fixed and im uploading a hopefully perfect 1.0b now.
[A7 Android Development] johng75:
you da man!

ill give it a try tonight... if i can steal it away from the GF... haha
[A7 Android Development] bazbob:
Dexter,

Thank you for 1.0b. I updated it right overtop your originial 1.0 release without even needing to perform a factory data reset from the recovery menu. Everything appears to be working great. SlingPlayer is even working now and it blows my mind to have the HDMI out going directly into an HDTV and being able to watch FIOS TV from the A7 on a big screen.

I just sent a donation to you! Thank you very much for your effort to support the A7!

Bob
[A7 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
Thanks and great to hear you feel the 1.0b works out great.

and yes, with the small fix in 1.0b there is no need to do factory reset.

I made a backup of my folio100 prepped as elocityA7, so ill keep updating as requirements pops up :-)
[A7 Android Development] Desperus:
Hi Dexter. I followed instructions, did a factory reset before installing your Update.zip 1.0b, everything seems to be fine, I get the "Updated the device: Reboot the device... Reboot now!" message, and then the a7 gets stuck in the elocity splash screen, displaying it again and again..

What could I be doing wrong?

Thanks!
[A7 Android Development] bazbob:
Thanks again Dexter.

I was able to sign-in skype although it locked up when I went to make a call. I'll check it out more in a bit.

Any idea why the Sirius XM app just hangs out at initial "Cheking for Upgrades" after the sign-in screen? I see that some other tablets are having similiar issues with the 1.1.0 version from Google Market that was suppose to address Froyo issues.

Bob
[A7 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
maybe the downloaded zip is corrupted? , but i think you should try another "wipe/factory reset" again after zip update installation?

for a zip verification, you can always copy/extract on pc into a folder, to verify you dont see errors...

but normally its signature errors, because /data is not cleaned, and sig's dont match your old configuration from a previous install, so it loops with the logo screen.
[A7 Android Development] DroidxRage:
After you select to install the update you need to reboot through the recovery menu and the install continues some more. Then it reboots again, you see some more lines of text and then the elocity boot animation. The first boot takes a little longer than normal, but not five minutes.

Make sure you're doing the first reboot through the menu not with the power button. GL
[A7 Android Development] rich_e:
I had that happen when I upgraded from the stock version (with the update from Elocity) to the first version of this rom. I didn't wipe the cache first. I wiped data but not cache. Hit the reset button on the back of the device. Then, after a second or two press and hold the power button until it says it is entering recovery mode. Wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache and then reapply the update. Sorry, I don't know of another way to get out of the loop without wiping your data.
[A7 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
i tested your Sirius XM app although i got no account, but tried the trial test, and it simply fails due to a framework error, so part of the nvidia framework seems to be incomplete or missing android framework functions, so the function call fails.

you comment on 1.1.0 means that SiriusXM should have gotten a fix? its for sure failing now :-(

you mentioned Sling player problems previously, but i simply couldn't locate that one. but sounds like its ok now :-)
[A7 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
sounds really strange.. as our Tegra2 tablets has no "verification" process added, you might just have a corrupt zip.. that sounds really like the problem here..

if the wipe does not affect your tablet, it makes no difference rolling back to stock rom, you might just see a regular boot there, which do not tell us why you couldnt update..
[A7 Android Development] ptam6383:

I am again going to ask for help on how to get the tablet to work with an Ad-Hoc network... it is very important that I am able to do this, so if someone could just at least tell me where to start to make this work it would be GREATLY appreciated!

Thanks...again :/
[A7 Android Development] tetsuo_shima:
Here is the update link for the ad-hoc fix. rename the file to Update.zip if needed. Then boot into recovery and apply the update.

http://www.youtube.com/redirect?q=h...=FAeCjYJmQMvgcLevOdGT34fZE8t8MTI5NTcwODc2Mg==

to boot into recovery:

1) turn off A7 by holding the power button for a few seconds.

2) hold the power button to turn on - keep holding until boot screen appears

3) select apply update.zip

Here is a video showing the process:

Hi ,

Just received my new elocity .. so what the first step , download the update file from elocitynow.com/support_downloads.shtml and install it then download ElocityMod v1.1 and install it ? or what?

please advice ..

Thanks
[A7 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
download this zip here . Not sure if it works as a Update.zip , but otherwise copy the "wpa_supplicant" to your /system/bin and do a "chmod 755 /system/bin/wpa_supplicant on the file afterwards.

and you got adhoc support..

very brief i know.. but i think others wrote alot on this topic, even small guide.
[A7 Android Development] packerfans1:
Thanks you guys soo much!!

Dexter and the other guy that helped you guys ROCK! lol but anyways it does work as an update.zip I am definitely donating now!

Just a suggestion though you should post that adhoc fix on the main post by the ROM updates because I had a heck of a time trying to find something so simple :P

Thanks again!
[A7 Android Development] sagggas:
Dexter's patches are built directly from the Elocity builds. His 1.1 patch takes the Elocity January update and adds market (and a few other things). You do not need to download Elocity's updates if you are using Dexter's mods.

For those of you asking about your SD card, NONE of the stock or modded firmware out now properly detects the SD card. You can basically only use the SD for media type files (pics, mp3, etc.). Elocity claims to have fixed that in their January build, but they didn't. Yes, that is very annoying. Hopefully they will fix it in the next few weeks.
[A7 Android Development] witzman:
Good to know about the SD card not working for apps. I was just about to work on how to go about doing that.

Has anyone setup Google Voice on their a7 yet? I had issues earlier and just moved onto something else. Obviously it trying to act like a "phone" is most likely the issue.
[A7 Android Development] abraxtacy:
SD Card glitches/

So, i should just limit what apps I put on the the pad until they release a patch for the sd problem? Has anyone to your knowledge informed elocity of the the sd problem a million times, or should I start driving them crazy about getting the problem fixed. wuo will run out of room quickly with only 4 whats left of 4 gigs to work with.
[A7 Android Development] abraxtacy:
previous post not very legible

The sd card problem should be fixed in a few weeks by elocity? my question was, should I start to really hound them about getting a fix, even though they will say it was corrected by there last update? obviously it was not. I will be happy to push on them. Any recommendations as to what would be the best approach to get there attention?:mad:
[A7 Android Development] sagggas:
Bug em. Ask them to clarify the existing 'fix' while you're at it. I think the more they are bugged, the more they may pay attention...

Granted, I didn't actually install their patch. I waited for dexter to add market and installed his version. I'm assuming nothing was broken by dexter's updates. A few pages back, I asked if anybody had installed the elocity patch, but nobody responded...
[A7 Android Development] derive:
Bugging Elocity

Want to bug the hell out of Elocity? Tell them you have many people ready to spam any and all reviews for upcoming hardware releases example "I wouldn't buy an Elocity 10 inch tegra 2. I bought the A7 when it was released and by no means was it ready for the consumer market." Start talking like your going to mess with there sales forecast and see if they jump!?
[A7 Android Development] abraxtacy:
SD complaint to Elocity

I have sent a complaint/request to elocity for a patch to fix the SD problem. Does everyone at this time all have this problem? With Dexters fix and the Jan 14th from elocity fix, both have the SD problem? Are there any other problems not corrected on this tab? Other than that I really like it.

The Telechips - 7inch X5A-G/X6D gsensor/multitouch Android 2.1 HDMI, I had ordered on Dec 6th 2010, finally came in today. I had originally ordered it for my daughter for Christmas. I then found the A7 because it never came in. I am so glad I did that. There is no comparison, even with the SD problem, between the two.

They asked me to send the X5A-G/X6D back if it ever came in. They have already sent me my money back. I ordered it out of Australia, who ordered it out of China. I will send it back, when they tell me how they are going to pay to have it shipped back to them.

Please post anytime someone happens to get a fix or upgrade for the A7

Any chance this will be upgradeable to Honeycomb, when released?
[A7 Android Development] melmoo:
Hey Dexter, thanks for creating these custom images, without them I would probably have returned my A7 and eaten the restocking fee.

Quick question: are you aware of any Android 2.1 builds for the tegra platform? I'm trying to get WPA2 Enterprise working and it looks like folks have been successful at using the wpa_supplicant file from 2.1 to fix the problem on 2.2 (at least on the Droid). This bug seems to have been introduced with Froyo.

Thanks!
[A7 Android Development] abraxtacy:
A7 return? and Thanks.

I don't know if anyone is viewing this post anymore, but was curious if there is any info of them doing another A7 release as far as a new A7 rwady with multi touch and Honeycomb. I love this machine but it was not ready for release. I can't keep it when I cant even get the sd card to work properly. Please post if you have any updates as to when this A7 will be more commercial ready.

I also wanted to thank Dexter and everyone else who made all the changes to get the 1st release atleast usable to a certain degree.

Please let me know if there is a forum you cpuld point me to to continue to follow the progress of the A7, and anything else associated to the 7 inch tablet

my a7

I love it except the screen doesn't like fingerprints and the home buttons aren't lit. I wish the custom rom society picks up on this beast. Its so fast.
[A7 Android Development] RojasTKD:
Have you tried "Button Savior"? It places a software button version of the "home buttons" on either the right or left side of you screen so their easy to see and use. I can set it so the buttons hide when you don't need them. It comes in real handy in dark environments when seeing the normal buttons is impossible.
[A7 Android Development] cadiken:
Thanks for the tip Rojas. That button app works like a charm.
[A7 Android Development] RojasTKD:
No problem, glad it was helpful.
[A7 Android Development] witzman:
This worked like a charm! The com.android.calendar force close problem was driving me completely crazy!

Those of you that have a working calendar, jorte is actually a very good replacement and I've kept it in because it has a 5x5 widget for a "quick glance" calendar on a main page.

Now that I have a working built-in calendar, I most likely use that instead of jorte.
