[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Asure:
This device is basically a Galaxy Tab Wifi 4GB, as the hardware is the same.

I did a CM7 port for it. See SD for more details, XDA topic is dead :(
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] janvandusschoten:
Can't believe there are no more people on XDA who have a Dropad / Haipad / Herotab. Good hardware en cheap! I hope there is a dev who can make a custom recovery for this tablet, that would make it next to perfect!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] thihaz:
better buy a branded tablet

That herotab c8 is my second tablet that I bought it from aliexpress, yeah i know it is a lousy place but the price was much cheaper than merimobiles.

I sold back the first cheap tablet which is bloody slow and specs are very low which is under $100.

The second tablet that i bought was C8/herotab/whatever they call it. (yeah I made a mistake twice.)

Before I bought this, I read a bunch of reviews by c8 owners on youtube, including some videos posted on merimobiles. And I convinced myself that 1GHz cpu powered tablet would be great. yeah I was partially right.

Running applications + watching videos are simply awesome. avi, mkv, 1080 play flawlessly, I watch only 720p because of the file size, so watching movie on it was awesome.

cons

Unresponsive compare to Galaxy tab(i think you are going to talk about the price tag)

Compare to the crowd working on branded phone/tablet, Very few people are working on the customised rom.

And bloody heavy, yeah as a tablet half a Kg is pretty heavy.

What else.

I even planned to sell it back but now my daughter plays angry bird, watches nursery rhymes videos on it. So I leave it with her.

The worst thing is no developers at xda are interested to work on it :(
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pragueman41:
yes. very good machine. I just know it is generic one with many other name like Haipad M7, Dropad a8, Apad 7009. all of them have an issue in common:

either skype or fring does work on them. I am keen to know if someone has video call working on it. thanks for your input
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] raz23:
i managed to initiate a qik videocall via wifi but it took me many calls to get a connection that didnt broke after a vew seconds.

i have installed asure's cm7 beta 0.4 + launcher pro plus with honeycomb theme and layout. works great in everyday use. after deleting the unnecessary phone related apk's the battery lasts for at least a whole at heavy use and up to 2.5 days with much standby time. im loving it. it's not perfect but it's more than you'd expect from such a lowprice device.

Quick Question

Now by coming soon does that mean work is already being done or does that mean you expect it to be a not so arduous process?
[Epic 4G Android Development] showmrock:
Considering that the EB13 has been released already for download when do you think well see this ROM?
[Epic 4G Android Development] hyken:
EB13

Just for those curious, Quadrant benchmark after updating:

1008

1075

1058

Three back to back scores,

Ken.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ZapZilla:
can't wait for this rom!
[Epic 4G Android Development] xodaQo:
Awesomeness. I can't believe we are finally getting FROYO.

Hopefully Gingerbread will soon follow. =D

[Epic 4G Android Development] budderocks:
Ken,

I just finished updating to EB13 and that is about where my scores are at...when I was on midNIGHT 3.3 I was getting over 2000.... nice to have an official release for the ROM's to use though
[Epic 4G Android Development] hyken:

Loads fine for me

Anyone know if the current themes work on 4.0?
[Epic 4G Android Development] WunderXDA:
Are we supposed to get the TV-style animation when pressing the power button? (just to put the phone to sleep, not power down)

I only get that animation when I power down
[Epic 4G Android Development] jvjidNite:
The animation is only when you power down.
[Epic 4G Android Development] kermtfrg:
Gallery?

How do I install just the gallery? Is it in the extras folder? If it is, what is it called because I am not seeing it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
Guys I think the servers were getting overloaded. Thanks for your patience...

Flyers thx for helping out here..
[Epic 4G Android Development] budderocks:
I just noticed that my 4G is not working on my phone in 4.0. Anyone else have that problem?
[Epic 4G Android Development] MikeyLee:
I'd say they are definitely getting overloaded. I'm on WiFi on the phone and got to about 30% complete in about 45 minutes LOL That was the Megaupload link.
[Epic 4G Android Development] thekeep:
has anyone figuered out what apk file fixes the fc with the about phone
[Epic 4G Android Development] kibachris:
I probably should've mentioned that I've checked there, too. It seems like he erases the old stuff when he posts new stuff so there's no longer anything about 3.3 on his website.
[Epic 4G Android Development] spitefulrain:
You may not need it. I started from stock EB13 using odin, and followed the instructions exactly. I dont get that FC. I havent gotten a single FC since flashing.
[Epic 4G Android Development] budderocks:
When I installed the gingerbread keyboard, the FC 's stopped
[Epic 4G Android Development] Overstew:
Lol, megaupload dl is at 17% now. It usually downloads at 2mb/s, but its only going 300kb/s. Mass downloads lol!

Anyone tried this with Genocide Kernel??? Yah, the name sux... but its OC.... wish I could dump the UV though... I need all the 3g signal I can get.

BTW, I voted no, not enough autism awareness info, as I was afraid too many would vote 'just fine' to get him to back off :) I say theres never enough information, especially when its a cause like this. Thanks medic... and love the new article on the site about the Epic, linked to it on FB...
[Epic 4G Android Development] Overstew:
Why does this have to be ext4 only? It seems like RFS installs apps way faster.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jvjidNite:
Reboots ??

Anyone Having random reboots?..i just did...

EDIT: My mistake i did something wrong during flashing process
[Epic 4G Android Development] Overstew:
Looks like I might hold off on this rom. Heard 4g is hurting and random reboota. :$
[Epic 4G Android Development] MikeyLee:
I posted the link earlier
[Epic 4G Android Development] ilostmypistons:
I'm having trouble with 4g tried a reflash didnt help other than that its all good any suggestions?
[Epic 4G Android Development] ansong:
I'm running 5.2 with no stability issues at all. The only problem I've got is that droidwall doesn't work. It starts on boot, gets root permissions but never actually applies the rules. When I open it and try to do it manually I get this:

http://i.imgur.com/KMcql.png

Can anyone else that uses droidwall see if their rules are being applied?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Anon9mouz:
Idk what I was doing but I so tried to press ok when looking at it like it was on my screen wow lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] Anon9mouz:
Hey for in the future u should get the ec05 prerooted recovery tar so u can use with Odin to skip all the other steps of older os but its totally up to u
[Epic 4G Android Development] burgerpimp07:
I actually ran droidwall just fine with this rom and genocide kernel
[Epic 4G Android Development] ansong:
I'm running whatever kernel came with midnight...is it worth switching? How difficult is it to re-roll a kernel that supports iptables?
[Epic 4G Android Development] warcraft2k2k:
Same here, I experienced this twice also. Have not seen it since.
[Epic 4G Android Development] kwazytazz:
Ive also had this problem, went away after reboot
[Epic 4G Android Development] rkjunior:
I thought about that but his instructions said to use EC05 that wasn't pre-rooted so I left it alone and just did it that way. Took a little extra time but I didn't mind.
[Epic 4G Android Development] buggerritt:
Well, now that everyone has a perfect epic, what are we supposed to look forward to? Gingerbread? Galaxy S2?
[Epic 4G Android Development] budderocks:
LOL. I thought that to myself the other day. Posts have become sparse on this thread and I thought...this ROM is so great, no one has issues anymore. I am extremely happy with my phone. Gingerbread would be nice, but right now I am not really antsy for it since there are not too many more things that it would allow my phone to do. Even when you look at the survey numbers, there are still not many phones running Gingerbread (as of April 1, 2.5% of Android devices were running Gingerbread). Gingerbread is nicer than Froyo, but it is not quite the same leap forward as Froyo was over Eclair. All these version names are making me hungry, lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] HooliganAMA:
Agreed. I had gingerbread on my EVO before I switched to the Epic. Aside from the looks there aren't really any new features. I don't miss it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dbx097:
Next OS

Good question! I have read that Gingerbread is right around the corner. ED12, the current development, may be released in May of this year. We'll see... : )
[Epic 4G Android Development] rgregg504:
Ok so I just flashed this rom and everything seems to work but when I try to use tapatalk it doesn't work. I can use the xda app which I know is tapatalk but the regular app doesn't work. It says pad block corrupted. What does that mean?

Edit: nevermind its a problem with tapatalk I'm gettin it on my other phone too.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
Just theming

Yeah, this ROM is so nice.

Only thing I've been doing is picking pieces of different themes and even making a few tweaks of my own.

I am very content. I have no "need" to jump to Gingerbread. I have a slight curiosity is all.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dragonslave02:
um i know i had an error and at least one other has, so not quite perfect but darn close since this error has only happened twice since i installed the rom when it was released.

But i still would like to know why it happened if that is possible.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
Can you give all the information from about phone you have ??
[Epic 4G Android Development] cconwing:
Ive had the same problem a number of times...im also running 5.2 I can also make calls but I can't hear the person on the other line its just silence, the only way to get it working again is to reboot.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Anon9mouz:
Well I'm on journaling on but there's more help in this thread ne ways. I got something for talks to check out and if it works with u off guys then ima have some on guys try it and see. But try saving an image in the browser BC when I try it force closes so I can't ever save pics or ne thing when surfing the net mucho gay
[Epic 4G Android Development] Anon9mouz:
Also how battery life BC I been using that battery calibration app that's from a dude on here where it deletes the bin or something but nit to good or I'm not doing right. But ima try dudes advice from acs and turn phone off till its full and go strait to recovery and delete battery stats but only thing its weird idk if it ever works BC that's like only option that never logs telling u if u did it so idk
[Epic 4G Android Development] prophet6:
How do I upgrade (from v3.2 standard) to the latest ROM, while keeping my personal data and preferences?
[Epic 4G Android Development] buggerritt:
You can just Flash 5.2. It is supposed to keep your preferences. You will also need to flag the updated standard upgrade If that was how you went, before. You may run into problems, though. It's always best to start from scratch.
[Epic 4G Android Development] unxguyjr:
I use dolphin..no prob saving images.
[Epic 4G Android Development] buggerritt:

Can anyone tell me what the difference between this ROM and the Journaling On ROM is please? Ultimately which is better to use?
[Epic 4G Android Development] WunderXDA:
Hold up a sec while I get some popcorn...
[Epic 4G Android Development] MikeyLee:
LOL alright
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
LMAO !!!! I believe the torch said it best when he said ... flame on!!

I joke of course

They are the same except for the journaling, the differences of of which have been discussed many times, post 1571 here for instance:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=12554109

Sorry Wunder I know you were waiting for a toasty reply; seems to take less out of me just repeating stuff over and over, instead of asking if they know how google works?? ;) :p
[Epic 4G Android Development] MikeyLee:
Ahhh ok, so then it seems that basically Journaling ON prevents data corruption. Correct? Other than that these are the same?
[Epic 4G Android Development] buggerritt:
Grrrr!
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
Right (LOL @ Bugger)
[Epic 4G Android Development] greatlakesghost:
Lmao!!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] WunderXDA:
lol you are a far better person than I.

Hey Mikey: Journal on = safer and slower, Journal off = slightly faster but risky
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Ok, I'll bite..journal on-if your battery dies or you drop your phone and battery pops out, when you power back up, you won't have force closes or corrupt data. No journal- slight (in my opinion very slight) performance increase with several ways to get corrupt data. Sometimes even with no changes or added apps after 4 or 5 days.
[Epic 4G Android Development] chuhsi:
I decided to witch from journaling ON to OFF yesterday. Everything is great except for 1 thing.

My exchange calendar doesn't work!

I sync to Exchange via activesync. My email and contacts come through fine, but my calendar data seems to be invisible. It says that the syncing works. I can select the exchange calendar in the calendar application, but nothing shows. I've manually synced, removed and re-added the account, reset my activesync password, and deleted my phone's calendar data.

Any other suggestions for how to get my exchange calendar data to show?
[Epic 4G Android Development] SwimDrewid:
Perhaps try deleting and then readding your account. My exchange on stock email app worked fine when I created the acct. I had done a full wipe prior to flashing.

I'm using touchdown instead of stock and that works flawlessly, too

Does anyone know how to fix this lockscreen issue? :

Press the power button to shut the screen off and after a quick second it turns back on to the lockscreen
[Epic 4G Android Development] chuhsi:
I've already deleted and re-added the account a few times. I also did a full wipe when I switched from journaling on to off.

Everything was fine when I ran journaling on, so I'm totally confused about what's going on.
[Epic 4G Android Development] flyers2114:
Well said k0nane! Rob we will miss you!
[Epic 4G Android Development] mis3:
This is more of a theme question, but is about Midnight Rom/Theme. I had been using Midnight 5.1 along with Midnight 4 Theme (honeycomb battery). I really liked how when you press menu hard key from the home screen, the popup options (add to screen, wallpaper, search, share, preferences, settings) came up transparent/dark. It's also like that in the video on LostandTired.com

I'm now using SRF 1.1 with Midnight 5 Theme (honeycomb battery) and that same menu screen comes up with a very light gray background.

Does anyone know if this was a change in the theme or something in the ROM? Does anyone know the apk that I can extract from either Rom or Theme to make it transparent/dark?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Anon9mouz:
Hmm so what to do what is everyone gonna goto now or they just gonna stay with 5.2
[Epic 4G Android Development] Anon9mouz:
On stock browser bro can u see plz, also I wanted to ask u how do I get Microsoft exchange on my phone BC I need to use it for school email.

EDIT: ok on the exchange I didn't know I needed email apk so I push it with root explorer back on there and it shows it has it now to see if it works
[Epic 4G Android Development] chuhsi:
5.2 until new gingerbread roms are stable
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
Yeah for me too, I am also considering MIUI ROM as well.

Looks interesting. Though to be honest; I could easily live with my current setup until I decide on a new phone.

It just runs that well.

O ok well no telling when cm7 will be done seems to me Luke ne and every HTC phones gets it RC and finals while all we get is alpha stages even nexus s has better progress I guess when time comes ill be getting one too until evo 3d comes out. I feel like everyone starting to move on from the epic like its old news or something.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
Not really old news just VERY behind softwarewise. The Epic just recently got Official Froyo and Gingerbread has been out for a while. Also 4G REALLY complicates things. I think the Nexus is by far the best option for those wanting PURE Android.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mis3:
Wasn't sure if you were still checking this thread, but since I posted this at the same time konane was posting that you had to stop developing, I thought I would give it one more shot.

Any secrets you can share on how to make the menu screen for home page the dark/transparent (like in your video on lostandtired.com if I am using SFR with your honeycomb 5 theme?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Anon9mouz:
Thanks for the comment bro and god bless u on ur travels in this journey
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
I'm not sure what you are asking. What menu? Are you talking about the notification pane? If so then yes you can. You have to mod the theme though? get me an image you want to use and I look into it for ya.

Anyone else getting a FC when a calendar reminder pop ups?
[Epic 4G Android Development] pakesack:
thanks for the rom update. everything seems to be working smoothly without having to wipe.

i do have a question for anyone that updated to 5.3 though. did the clock at the top right disappear? i looked through the settings but couldnt find where to enable the clock on the upper bar. is there a zip i have to flash to get the clock back?
[Epic 4G Android Development] budderocks:

Is there a standard upgrade zip to use with this or is this like the first full rom and flash and ur good to go
[Epic 4G Android Development] buggerritt:
I got it to install, now. I tried after installing the ROM as an upgrade. It ended up having an error of not enough storage space. So, I wiped everything 3x and did clean install. After that, I was able to uninstall the stock one with Titanium and install the beta.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
I meant to make swype uninstallable... My bad..
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
Nope it's a full ROM...... I no longer have a phone so developing for a phone I don't have is.......challenging.. :)

[Epic 4G Android Development] carlosaf1020:
I have tried downloading this rom 3 times and every time i try to install it will just hang on the Samsung screen i even waited one time for 30 minutes and it did not boot. I tried wiping everything 3x just flashing over 5.2 flashing over frozen rom and still a no go. I'm on ec05 using eb13 modem.

[Epic 4G Android Development] youngpro83:
Yeah the flashable zip is in the android development of the lost and tired site. Look along the right of the page while scrolling down and you should run right into it.;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
it was a trade off for the 1x mod...... But you can download the clock restore from the development page and flash that.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mjh8812:
thank you...idk how i didnt see that when i flashed the rom last night :confused:
[Epic 4G Android Development] styckx:
Back to midNIGHT I am. Went from 5 byor to 5.3. Upgrade went fine, had a couple of FC at first boot that were easy as clearing the data. Installed a theme. Left journaling off then went and did about 10 shutdown and restarts in a row. No force close/corrupt data. Seems as solid as 5 was.
