I have been looking at an low cost tablet to tinker/play/abuse. I can't see spending 400-500 on a tablet that I will break/brick while playing around with. I was looking at the superpad/a8/flytouch2/etc, then I found the superpad2/flytouch3.

Anyone have any input or suggestions about this device.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hcdevils1:
I have had mine a week or so, which this is my first android device. I like it so far, but, not that many prople have them yet so I am afraid to start *tinkering*. I have been trying to find a official forum thread dedicated to the tablet, but cannot. The tablet runs froyo ok at most. The mic is awful, speakers are less output then my blackberry. The touchscreen could be somewhat more responsive. I am having a hard time rooting without a usb to usb. The tablet has some potential in the sense that it has 512 mb ram. The tablet does not run flash. I am waiting for someone to develop a honeycomb rom, which is tablet oriented.

I received mine today and I am having same trouble to root the tablet.

I have also a FLYTOUCH2 (now on sale) which I have easy rooted with Universalroot, but don't work with this one.

If you find a solution please let me know. I also want to root my tablet.

Thanks
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hcdevils1:
I figured it out, but have not done it yet because the stupid usb to usb cord. All I have is micro and mini usb to usb.

First, you must declare your application as "debuggable" in your Android Manifest. To do this, go to the android website and go to devoloping then device. What I am not sure about is how to find the right driver for the ft3 that will allow you to see the system files and write to the android manifest file. If you are able to view and write to the android manifest, then that will enable the devolopers setting to actually enable the usb debugging. In essence, you have to enable the settings to enable the usb debugging. As soon as usb debugging is enabeled, then you can run Z4root.

I just received mine and in one week I manage to root it, there is a program will makes you enabling the USB debugging, after enabling the USB debugging then I used the z4root to root it. the program for USB debugging is in the market I forget it's name since I'm new to android but search fro "root" or "rooted" then try the programs for that.

but now I played with the system and it's stopped in android logo. I press the MENU button mean while I pressed the POWER ON button then the system interned the recovery mode which has a default process by automatic recovery only with out any interfering from my side. also it's not working.

Any body has an idea how to format it from the laptop?

Just an update:

I think this is the program to enable the USB debugging:

don't know where else to post

i have purchased a flytouch 3 tablet.it has gps and needs an antenna which is external and a seperate piece.i would like to open the case and install an internal antenna.this antenna would still need to be powerful enough to grab the satelites (gps internal antenna available on ebay).don't know if this is doable,no electronics experience,just a thought.

then i was thinking of using the external space on the case from where the external gps antenna mount has been removed.i would like to connect a stronger dbs external(swivel)antenna to the wifi to extend my signal.

should you have a moment,thankyou.

i have a link on another computer,but if i remember,search for disassemble superpad 2.it has written instructions how to take apart the flytouch 2.there are two versions,one with screws and one without.mine has screws. i believe it to be the same case,minus the second tf slot.other take apart searches yielded little info.

to confirm, button savior and z4 worked for me to root.

flytouch 3 open instructions,from slatedroid, duno

Posted 20 December 2010 - 12:17 AM

Please be carefull when you open the device!

When you break your device, it's your problem ;)

01. remove the 4 cover plates with a needle, then the 4 screws

02. you'll need a flat knife with a (about) 5mm blade

03. put the knife with the 5mm blade close to camera into the pad

04. lift up the display with the knife

05. lift up the display with a screw driver from inside the pen holder

06. unplug the touchscreen plug carefully

07. unplug the tft carefully

have fun!

poke around the same link and there are more instructions for the non screw version.as well as clips and tips.

Flytouch 3 has 5000mah battery, more nand (4gb), only one tft slot, froyo, usally comes with external gps antenna. I think there might be a option or two more that I missed. I believe these will become super popular if the hardware is generic enough, to warrent more development.

You can find firmware update here

Link for firmware is http://www.4shared.com/file/11HgaFfO/Disco_10inch_android22_2011031.html

To install the firmware, download the .zip on a PC from the link below. Extract the contents of the zip on a PC and copy the two files to the root directory of a formatted TF-Flash Card. The two extracted files must be placed in the root directory of the TF-card. Insert the card in to the Superpad2 FlyTouch3 and power on the tablet. The installation will be automatic.

I just ordered this tablet from chinagrabber.. gonna upgrade to the Tim's latest when it arrives. From all I've read and watched the reviews etc. this seems to be the best chinese tablet there is and the resistive screen is not a deal breaker for me.

Had a Suli MY-7 for couple of weeks, but I came to the conclusion that it's more or less a disaster.. specs are good but the firmware suck. and 10" screen anytime over a 7"

P041

For everybody which have a P041 instead of a DISCO.

I attach here a couple of bash script I wrote for decoding/packing ramdisk and

You need linux to run them.

Use those at your risk. :P

In this way you should be able to create custom roms for your Apad.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] up4sd:
I get a wondermedia 8650 tablet and flytouch 3 from mcbub.com,and below is my review for my flytouch 3:

First impressions are good. Build quality appears sturdy, nothing feels cheap or delicate.

The screen is pretty good. Unfortunately it is, of course, resistive. This is very noticable when you're used to something like a Desire HD, but once you get used to applying a bit more pressure, then it stops being much of an issue.

One flaw with the screen is that it looks great in landscape mode, but is much harder to look at in portrait mode. As such, I would not recommend using this in portrait mode for anything.

The speakers, as others have noted, are fairly dreadful. I haven't had problems with volume per se, but the overall sound quality is very bad indeed.

The unit is very nippy - everything zips along quite quickly. I have installed several games (both 2D and 3D, several recommended only for high end units) and everything has run beautifully. I have also run GBA, NES and Genesis emulators on it, and all games have run at full speed with sound.

I can only see free apps in the market - not sure why that is, and if anyone has any tips, please let me know.

Wireless reception is 'okay' but not too amazing.

Too early to tell about battery life. I use this mostly for reading comics using Perfect Viewer (which works really well).

So, 24 hours after buying this tablet, I have no problems with it at all - I think it was a great purchase, and should tide me over until we start to get fast, affordable capacitive tablets start to come on the market.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] up4sd:
Mine is DISCO10 version,not P041,i have heared the P041 version is not good as disco10. and sales @ mcbub.com said they can offer custom rom for my disco10 version. i will contact and confirm with them.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Onedroidev:
Yes this is true... I do not have a DISCO10 ... and the P041 is very bad.

I attached this two scripts to let the people modifying the filesystem of P041 because TIM and S0I roms will not work with this model.

I think that the DISCO10 is the right choice (I mean... it is not a proper pad as well ... but better than P041).
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] up4sd:
yes,but as far as i know, PO41 is not the worst version for flytouch 3,lol, the worst ones is model number :sawee10(like this,but can't remember it is right), that sawee10 is the worst, bad system, bad battery. so glad i pick up the right flytouch 3. lol

i will also search the P041 version and get back to you if i can.good luck:D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Onedroidev:
Do not worry

I think you can ask in the forum where the people bought the DISCO10, in this way you can ask to the same vendor. It is very difficult to know what vendors are selling and you can have a bad surprise.

I have already a P041. I can tell you that there are a lot of bugs there. The quality of the wifi connection is embarrassing, and it does not support any usb dongle. you have to modify the init.rc and the build.prop and adding a library to make the HUAWEI usb dongle working (and you cannot download the TIM rom which is not working, so you need to use the scripts I posted and do it by yourself). Moreover the display brightness is poor.

hello

i think when you do a search on android flytouch superpad Disco/po41 you should do a search on wifi problems on Disco you will see they are hundreds with that problem,also low speaker problem on Disco is shocking.The disco as had problems solved by tims roms,but they are still many.The po41 is very new in market,so of course just like the Disco new firmware will follow.The big difference with the 9v po41 is it's a faster charger system,and it keeps charging while being used and the charger while plugged in does not get hot and i mean very very hot like the disco,the disco can-not put charge in while being used as it's a trickle charge system.The touch screen is more fluid ON THE PO41,the speakers are very good,AND IT UPDATES FIRMWARE BY SD-CARD JUST LIKE DISCO,PO41 AS A NEW MOTHERBOARD UPDATED CHIP SET.And on the screen you must be kidding it's a new upgraded screen which when 1st booted up is half turned down with plenty of brightness to use.The disco you need full screen brightness to get any kind of brightness

Where can I get the android source for Tim6a or an official ROM of flytouch 3 for trying to compile it for my own?

Thanks for any help!!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] VK4MSL:
Hi all,

I recently acquired my first Android device, a "Flytouch III" produced by GL4Ever off eBay. So far so good, although I am conscious that there seem to be a lot of "Flytouch" devices, not all of them genuine. I'd be interested to know if mine is in any way similar to other devices marketed under the same name, or if it's a copy.

The device I have runs Android 2.3, and I was able to gain root access using Gingerbreak. The trick then is to use /system/bin/su and not su to gain superuser privileges.

I'm looking to use mine primarily for displaying maps as I'm cycling, but also for AX.25 packet radio on the 2m amateur band. There are activities I do with WICEN (Wireless Institute Civil Emergency Network) where we have a need for a packet terminal device that draws minimal power and interface to a TNC and/or VHF radio for reporting of data. The Flytouch III has two USB ports and a GPS, thus I figured was ideal for the price.

What I know about the device:

- CPU: Vimicro Vortex VC0882

$ cat /proc/cpuinfo
Processor : ARMv7 Processor rev 2 (v7l)
BogoMIPS : 374.37
Features : swp half thumb fastmult vfp edsp neon vfpv3
CPU implementer : 0x41
CPU architecture: 7
CPU variant : 0x3
CPU part : 0xc08
CPU revision : 2

Hardware : Vimicro Vortex Board
Revision : 0000
Serial : 0000000000000000

- RAM: 512MB (advertised), 306064kB reported by kernel

- Internal storage: ~4GB, presented to the kernel as a SD card

- OS: Android "Gingerbread" 2.3

- Kernel:

$ cat /proc/version
Linux version 2.6.35.7 (dtandroid@DtAndroid) (gcc version 4.4.0 (GCC) ) #67 PREEMPT Sat Oct 29 17:27:35 CST 2011

- Sound system uses ALSA (I'd post that info here, but can't)

What I'm attempting to discover:

- Where the bootloader and kernel hide, and how to access them?

- Where to get a kernel source tree from?

- What work have others done? (Google search has been somewhat sketchy in detail) I've heard about a custom ROM for some devices (e.g. Tim6a), but no idea on whether it is compatible with this particular unit or not.

- Are these devices able to boot from an external SD card without disturbing the internal one?

Regards,

Stuart Longland
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] the1dynasty:
any updates on this?? my sister bought my nephew one of these "P041" with the "SAWEE10" on it... it's total crap and we can't get in contact with the seller to issue a refund!!

I was gonna see about rooting it to install a custom rom but i can't find anything for this version... i'll do the work, i just need someone to tell me the steps involved?! tyia :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] VK4MSL:
Can't say those names mean anything to me, however if you can identify the version of Android, you should be able to gain root access using either Gingerbreak (if yours runs Android 2.3) or Z4Root (for Android 2.2).

As for mine, I think mine may be returned under warranty, and I may just ask for a refund, as less than a month down the track, the screen flickers with the machine rebooting shortly after, first USB port still remains intermittent, SD card port coughs up I/O errors with heavy usage (try a dd of the SD card to /dev/null for example) and the machine has just crapped itself, corrupting the content of its OS.

Clearly a sign of dodgy soldering. And I'm still yet to hear about kernel sources. My fears of a pirated operating system (that is, one that violates the open source licenses of the software upon which it is based) are slowly becoming realised.
