So I got a brand new A7 with their new firmware.

Installed 1.3, wiped cache and all data

Couldn't get on adhoc wireless tether from my Milestone, so I installed the Adhoc fix.

Now my wifi can't reconnect after sleep, even after reboot, and my Bluetooth won't enable.

Should i start over? Or should I apply the BT fix and then look for something to fix the wifi?

Thanks!

Can someone please post instructions to get usb adb working?? Koush is having trouble getting it to work.
[A7 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
honestly... my mistake, the enabling of bluetooth service, seems to affect usb and having adb enabled, so i disabled the service in the "released" version, which i noted when reverted to the release version..

sorry! this tab is kinda annoying having only one usb, which kinda works both ways :-) but as post above says, its not easy to work with..

ill try to be more careful with the next update.

as you can read, its easier for koush to use my 1.3 and start from here..

i actually made it like this:

install the "multitouch tester from 511" and reboot the device, then you will get your usb port converted to client mode, so it will show up on pc.. tricky but it works, and i figured not many would install this app anyways :-) so nice trick to easy enable the reverse port. its a script handling it, so its not the multitouch app, i just check that the app is installed :-)

Looking to get XDA Internet Sharing app to work with Elocity A7. I tried installing adhocfix.zip. But A7 is unable to obtain IP. I'm running XDA Internet Sharing on HTC Touch Pro 2 running WM6.5. Other devices can connect & obtain IP.
[A7 Android Development] wicked_beav:
Does this rom have multi-touch support?
[A7 Android Development] mskitty76:
No, it doesn't - but that's because the a7 isn't a true multi-touch device. But if it can be done, i have no doubt that Dex can make it happen!
[A7 Android Development] motoelliot:
So, I'm pretty excited my a7 should be here tomorrow, quick question. If I download movies from imp4movies.com can I play the enitire movie? Cause on my hero it stops playing part way thru the movie. From what I've learned its a problem with the Fat32 partion format of the sdcard I'm using?

Sent from my schizophrenic HERO running Gingerbread. I think.
[A7 Android Development] wicked_beav:
Has anyone seen any other roms for this? Or is this pretty much all there is?

Bluetooth GPS

Hi,

Has anybody tried to connect the A7 to a Bluetooth GPS. I have tried two different kinds and no luck. I have the Pharos and the Globalstat GPS's, and when I try to pair them all I get is "Paired, but not connected"...

It does find the GPS, but it won't connect?

Does anybody have a solution to this?

Regards
[A7 Android Development] DroidxRage:
There is one other in this forum, but it's based on dexter's v1.1, and just adds xbox controller drivers and some emulators. That's about it for now.

Wondering if Dexter could get permission to bundle those drivers into his updates and of course give credit to the original dev. That would be pretty sweet! :D

BlueGPS

Hi 5[Strogino],

Thank you for the links.

I already tried Bluetooth GPS Provider, but all I got when I tried to run the app was a FC...

But, I didn't know about BlueGPS. That worked like a champ.

So, Thank you very much for the links.

BlueGPS works GREAT!!!

Best regards
[A7 Android Development] Regis St-gelais:
"Paired, but not connected" status is ok. It will connect when your map software connects to it.

I use the Locus app with my garmin gsp 10x and it work fine.
[A7 Android Development] immortalsoule:
Would there be a chance of adding in a multi-faceted power off menu with a few more options such as "reset" & booting into loader mode?
[A7 Android Development] mskitty76:
I'm with you on that - can't tell you how many times I've wished for a "restart" option. It would be great to have a set of these options on the home screen instead of holding the power button down for everything.

App "Quick Boot"

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.siriusapplications.quickboot

Works

- Reboot

- Power Off

Doesn't work - the reason is that Stream TV Networks changed method to get into recovery or bootloader. Dexter wrote how access bootloader (APX)

- Recovery

- Bootloader
[A7 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
well, i should actually be able to change the code, but its not nice done to developers of apps, but its possible..
[A7 Android Development] 5[Strogino]:
Interesting. How to enter into recovery (Android System Recovery) without pressing buttons? What command?

p.s.

Another great command:

echo /dev/block/vold/179:1 > /sys/devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun0/file

Mounts additional sdcard as removable disk in Windows (equals function Mount USB on smartphones)

SDCard at tablet must be unmounted (please avoid 2-side access to sdcard)

Sure, Tablet must be connected to computer with A-A USB cable and drivers must be installed with modifications
[A7 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
ElocityBlur v0.1

I have made a new alternate mod, its really beta, but usable somehow for some people, but at least it indicate some possibilities on this new tegra2 platform.

see more here

I can add that i will be looking into the new 3.0 SDK release, and see how much is possible on a 7" tablet.
[A7 Android Development] 5[Strogino]:
I think it's our (owners of A7) general task with high priority)

p.s.

1. Custom recovery

2. Honeycomb ROM
[A7 Android Development] masterfred:
Yup, saw the new 3.0 SDK ... honeycomb comming to the A7 pretty soon I think =D

Once that is done, we need to find the touch screen provider and see what can be done with firmware / drivers update.

Synaptics added "multi-touch gesture" to normal and old touch pads on laptop, the same technique could be used for the kind of screen we have ...
[A7 Android Development] netstat_EVO:
Here, please read the data sheet on the touch screen controller that our tablets use.

http://pdf1.alldatasheet.com/datasheet-pdf/view/255201/CYPRESS/CY8CTMG120.html

There is no software that will allow true multi touch if the controller does not support it.

And guess what... the Cypress CY8CTMG120 touch screen controller that these units are equipped with does not support it.

Edit:

Please be sure to read passed the title of the PDF. It is deceiving that the title is "TrueTouchTM Multi-Touch Gesture Touchscreen Controller", this PDF actually covers 5 separate chips. The actual fact of the matter is on page 4 of 33...

Single Touch: Yes

Multi-Touch Gesture: Yes

Multi-Touch All-Point: No <--- this is the one we were looking for.

Edit V2:

Sorry if I come off like a prick, but refer to my sig... The multi touch issue with the A7 is definitely a dead horse. The same things are gone over and over and over around here and it just gets tiring.
[A7 Android Development] motoelliot:
Hi everyone, need some help with ad-hoc. I'm running 1.3, did the adhoc fix but still no luck, any help would be greatly appreciated! I'd also like to say BIG thanx to Dexter for all the hard work!

Update: re-wiped, re-flashed both 1.3 and adhoc fix, and used barnacle. Workin great now!
[A7 Android Development] immortalsoule:
You can use Double-Twist AirSync to stream media off your X-Box 360. But, other than that....(shrug).
[A7 Android Development] immortalsoule:
I actuall "had" that problem then did a full wipe, installed the 1.3 mod, then rebooted, then added the bluetooth mod and everything went smooth after that.
[A7 Android Development] 5[Strogino]:
Please give us more info.

What type of WiFi do you tether?

What security (WPA, WEP, WEP2) ?

Is your net with hidden SSID?

What channel uses your net?

What info shows app WiFi Analyzer?

p.s. Always try use ad-hoc net with simple settings: open network without any security. If it would success, then increase security...

Got it working thanx...

Honeycomb Comments

I have been reviewing the comment on the Motorola Zoom tablet with Honeycomb and find them quite interesting as it applies to hopefully, what we will be getting on the A7. Especially when the Zoom was designed for/with Honeycomb.

Honeycomb does not yet have flash support. Not till the Spring.

Numerous application crashes

Applications need to be modified for Tablet support (We have all run into this with 2.2)

Touchscreen icon for home instead of physical button (Not sure good or bad)

Reviewers of the Zoom felt that Honeycomb still acts/operates like it is in beta.

Will be interesting what we will see soon hopefully.
[A7 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
it might also be incompatible for A7, and its named XOOM , not sure if you did it on purpose :-)

but its said the Tegra220 which our A7,Gtab,Folio is based on, is not Tegra250 series compatible.. so it might just be a huge problem..
[A7 Android Development] dmaryland:
Honeycomb....Why?

The only reason I even would want honeycomb is for the tablet-friendly gmail and calendar. I saw nothing in the demo videos that blew me away and made me want it on my A7.
[A7 Android Development] hudd333:
Honeycomb discussion

I would assume that Honeycomb has native Market support even if you are just Wifi?

If not what do you see as the next steps for the A7? Just enhancing/fixing what is there, Honeycomb maybe?, maybe an interim new release of the OS?

Thanks.
[A7 Android Development] netstat_EVO:
After seeing the measures they have taken lately to keep us out, i definitely not assume that.

Swype after current Dexter Mod

Has anyone had a problem with Swype after updating to the current Dexter mod? Mine shows as active but it will not come up in any apps. I read where swype might have been a beta product and not be available anymore. I cannot find it in the Market either.

Swype Issue

Thanks. I signed up for the beta, regular browser won't allow download of beta, dolphin HD does. It shows as active but still doesn't replace regular keyboard in apps. Still working on it.
[A7 Android Development] immortalsoule:
For those of you who have the A7 and wish to take advantage of the GPS that it can have, here's something for you:

BlueGPSForDroid

http://sourceforge.net/p/bluegps4droid/home/

I bought a Holux M-1000 and "thought" i was screwed until i ran this app, it allows the BT GPS unit to actually connect and work and it's FAST.

It just makes the A7 that much better now that it also functions as a fully working GPS device.

Google Maps/Google Nav work GREAT with it.
[A7 Android Development] immortalsoule:
Different releases work on different units. Mine works 100%

Swype v2.6.47.11856

Google the name, version, and add something like "Rapidshare" or "megaupload" and it will surely show up.
[A7 Android Development] netstat_EVO:
This is awesome. I was looking into a cheap bluetooth gps receiver. I think you just decided it for me :)
[A7 Android Development] immortalsoule:
I got the Holux for something like $35 on Amazon. And the thing found my position while i was inside a building, snapped up like 2 seconds.

Bluetooth while Streaming via WiFi...

I am new to this forum (HTC Hero CDMA) and like what I am seeing for the future of this device! I just bought mine last night and promptly loaded the Feb Update from elocity and then the 1.3 rom and bt fix. Very happy!!!

All of that alone deserves the "Jackson" I'm donating to "Dexter" .... Thank you for all of your work and Time!!!

I'm feeling very generous today and want to "prepay" for the above issue to be resolved. This units processor is way beyond my Hero and hope that it is a software issue...
[A7 Android Development] RojasTKD:
Wait, you got Google Navigation to work? I can get G Maps no issue (CoPilot as well), but Google Nav keeps asking to "enable GPS", witch you can't do as it dosen't have one. I can't get past the diolog box to actually see the Google Navigation screen.
[A7 Android Development] immortalsoule:
The Navigation (someone was talking to me when i first typed it out) was a mistype but you CAN enable GPS by using that app you just can't get it on the "settings" menu. But Google Maps & Sprint Nav work great. I'm pretty sure that Telenav and CoPilot will work and, since i have CoPilot, i'll test it tonight.

Again, the app is called BlueGPS and it allows you to pick the bluetooth GPS device and you manally start GPS but it does work.
[A7 Android Development] immortalsoule:
Hey, is anyone else getting this besides me? I went to market and tried downloading CoPilot and it...just wasn't there. Then i get on my HTC hero to look it up and...it's there.

It could be nothing but i wanted to know if anyone was experience the missing of any purchased apps through market on their tablets and yet still finding them on their phones?
[A7 Android Development] RojasTKD:
I believe a "quick Market fix" will take care of it. First go to the market and look around for a little bit. then fallow the steps below...

Settings>applications>manage applications> select "all"

then:

- scroll down to "market" & select it

- select "clear cache" (NOT CLEAR DATA)

- select "force stop"

- hit the back button

- scroll up to "Google service framework" & select it

- select "clear data"

- select "force close"

Reboot and try the market again (will have to activate again, I think) there should be more apps visible in the market now (still not ALL, but more).
[A7 Android Development] immortalsoule:
Okay, i went through and checked Copilot. You run the software i mentioned, run CoPilot. It asks for GPS, press OK, press back, then you're back into and it seems to be doing well.

Because the built-in GPS is missing, it's a geeky situation and a little irritating but it can be done and that's really what's important.
[A7 Android Development] immortalsoule:
Tried that, several bought apps are still missing.
[A7 Android Development] immortalsoule:
Is there anyway a shortcut could be written into the rom to where the SD could really be the SD instead of that odd spin-off location? It really messes with the GPS apps because the "internal" SD fills up pretty quick.

Dexter on this mod 1.3 the audio when connected plays through the speakers on the device instead of through the TV. This did work previously using the official update. so please check into this for everyone.

[A7 Android Development] tetsuo_shima:
There is a new update on the Elocity site that covers some issues with the HDMI. I'm not sure if it will help with your issue however:

[A7 Android Development] jetracers:
I checked on my TV at home and the audio works fine, so it must just be specific to that brand of Television (Olevia).
[A7 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
i think the problem you see, is the format of the stream sent to the tv.. tegra2 primarily support ACC audio streaming for now, and the tv you tested, might just work with AC3, which is a problem on tegra2 for now.

Video works in most cases for mkv files etc, but audio streaming is an issue, i think AC3 audio require some license to work, which Nvidia so far skipped maybe.

Won't wake from suspend

updated lastest firmware from elocity and dexter, but my tablet won't wake up when it suspends I have to reboot. Anything I can do?

T.
[A7 Android Development] netstat_EVO:
one or the other. just follow the directions on the first page of this thread, you'll be fine.

You probably installed the latest elocity, and then tried to put dextermod over the top without wiping/clearing cache ... dextermod replaces the elocity update.
[A7 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
Statement from Nvidia support site (where eLocity gets their hardware/chipset from)

•In certain power saving configurations, touching the screen or "Android buttons" at the top of the device is not adequate to wake the device. To work around this, try inserting or ejecting the SD Card to wake the device. Failing that, you will need to reset or power cycle the Tango. Alternatively, please set the screen timeout to 30 minutes (Menu->Settings->Display->Screen Timeout).

send a complaint to Nvidia, their software solution is faulty?

its a known bug on many early tegra2 platforms.

new elocity update

Dexter,

Are you working on a new rev to incorporate the changes that came out from elocity a week or so ago? Or are you working on something better for the A7? Just wondering, we know you have a lot on your plate. :) We appreciate it.
[A7 Android Development] instigator008:
Fixed with wipe and updated su, from superuser!
[A7 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
atm, got some issues with a linux box, so im not capable atm of making image changes without tools in place, and the hdmi changes seems minor for now.. so ill focus on getting something better fixed..

but ill download later on and compare actual changes, i suspect the changes to be libs only, which is easy to add..

edit:

completely forgot to check up on the "su" issue, since this was an issue with superuser apk since version 1.0 :-)

but it sounds like someone else got it working.. but the advantage of the old su , should be its always working and does not require any approval app? but ill check up on it.

Lost SD functionality

Weird right? When I first got the device, I updated to the latest firmware from eLocity of course. SD card was detected, etc. find in the OS.

Then I found this forum and I updated to 1.3, then after reboot, . . no SD card mounted? weird? So I did the boot update as posted. Still no SD?

So perhaps something is wrong with my hardware? So, I rolled back to the Elocity version 2.0133 and the SD card is now mounted?

So, I tried to load the 1.3 again and no sd mount. . . consistent. But I have downloaded form his mirror that just published as well as the recent post. The version under the system info section states that it is version 1.2 is that right?

But either way, I shouldn't get that sd mount issue right?

thanks!
[A7 Android Development] instigator008:
This is a known issue. You can still access the SD card via a file explorer such as astro.

Also known that it says 1.2 instead of 1.3. Nothing to worry about!

Is anyone maintaining a consolidated list of known issues for resolution? Like full support for SD cards, etc. I'm not sure if Honeycomb is even planned anymore which might fix some. But at least fixes for known problems that are known to exist on this forum would be good. Dexter has done an incredible job but issues still persist and we certainly don't hear much if anything from eLocity.

Thanks.
