Your work is awesome!!! I love it! It makes the rk2818 a serious android device, not just a peace of junk.

Please keep it up and continue your work!

Maybe you wan't to take a look at the nookcolor device tree of cyanogonmod and see if you can use some things from the make files!

I love your cm7!

Hi,

I've prestigio pmp3084B and i want to ask it's posible to play games not on full screen size? Because now it's inposible to play games, they going very slow, maybe if i'll do small screen size, they will go faster?

Second question why i can not write froyo firmware? I've tryeid all version from 1 page, but all the time it's writen that firmware is wrong. With eclair firmware everything is OK.

Thanks
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DaremoS:
No idea about games.

About your second question. You have to load the firmware using the RK2818 upgrade procedure, which is not automatic, but is by switching the tablet into a recovery status.

Read the document "PMP3084B Firmware upgrade guide" here It's simple and safe... just take it easy.

All that's required is in this place http://marketing.prestigio.com/$Customer_Support/Drivers/Tablet_PC/PMP3084B/
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Mr.Grimmer:
I know its been mentioned before, but how does all this apply to the Next 2? I am not sure of the big differences between the two with the exception of the screen size as my searches seem to yield no results.

Anyways, does anyone know what the best method is to get a ROM without the bloat and with market access? Can any Next 3 ROM work on the Next 2?

Like I said I know it was mentioned but I don't think it was ever really clarified. However, I may have missed it given how large this thread has become. Any input would really help,

Thanks!

Arnova 84 firmware

I installed arnova 84 firmware from here:

http://arnovatech.com/support/firmware/2/arnova84/110718/update.img

It looks really nice , they customized it a little , up and down keys behave different its nice but there is no market , not even applib , I downloaded applib manually and installed and it works. It is fast and works good. Callibration software is different. Hope more people will now try to make froyo for out device.

I'm now goind back to PMP3084BRU_FW_V2.1.13 , this is best firmware for our device.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ishuttle:
Hello draxd ...

Is this Arnova 84 a Froyo Firmware?

On Prestigio Site new Firmware 2.1.7 and 2.1.9.

mfg ishuttle
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] draxd:
No its Android 2.1 but looks really nice and stripped down.

And these firmwares 2.17 and 2.1.9 look like old ones , PMP3084B_FW_V2.1.9.zip is from may 2011, I don't know why they put there firmware that whos never released before.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ishuttle:
Yes draxd ... 2.1.7 and 2.1.9 are new, appears today on the Prestigio Site.

I run currently the Froyo2.2Beta1 from the Prestigio Site, and for my works fine (whit market already integrated).

mfG ishuttle
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] draxd:
Yes I know they appeared today but dates on img files are old.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ishuttle:
Hmmm ... yes

From the file-date 2.1.7 is april, 2.1.9 is may and 2.1.13 june.

Strange:confused:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] draxd:
What is new in this beta 3 ?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] fun_:
did you use 0717 image? calibration app is replaced, I think new one will work on your TS.

or? I'm fun, lefeudedieu is another person.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DaremoS:
1. Fully functional... access Flash and Sdcard from PC (that was an issue in the past)

2. Has Market fully functional

3. Has all Google applications

BTW draxd. I'm playing with Arnova 84... how did you install Google applications?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] donaldj83:
im not dead i promice!!! i feel like it but im not!!

im really not dead and i haven't turn't my back on every one i have been non stop at my job doing 12-20 hour shifts and haven't had a day off in over a month finaly today i have a day off but im running around doing personal stuff my exit date on my current job is the 3rd so i will finally have time to work on this alot more im actually quite excited as the prestegio development team asked me to give them a hand i feel this is going to be a grate opportunity for us :D so please be patient for now once im done with this job ill be free to focus some time to work on this
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] draxd:
No I didn't installed any google applications , I tried ArcTools(tools for installing Google applications and market on archos) but it didn't work.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DaremoS:
No idea what image is this I just can say that the user buildinfo is "fun".

Was taken from the Swedish release for 7" and ported to our 8.4" device.

¡Nice to meet you! then lefeudedieu is another dev.

What's your native language?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] miljanars:
I tried this firmware Arnovo and act fairly fast and stable, compared to the original Prestigio update. Add volume buttons in the taskbar, and it seems to me that it is much faster and responsive ... Market is not working ...HD video(720p)-ok!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DaremoS:
This Arnova 84 firmware is what in some threads are called "eclair looking like froyo" because looks like android 2.2 being a 2.1.

This is really a pain, as the best firmware for our RK2818 is Android 2.2 Froyo, as it takes some features of RK2818 and use it. I'm talking of USB acting like Host function of froyo. This only requires a special plug (OTG plug) to connect a 3G adapter for instance, or a mouse, a keyboard or a external disk.

Due to this I'm still looking for a fully rooted froyo for our Next3 or PMP3084. I'm using Froyo v4 unfortunately not fully rooted, as it doesn't run Titanium Backup, which is a must for an android device.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] fun_:
as I said http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=15616405&postcount=336

swedish guy used my 20110519. (i.e. same as MajstorSpeedy used)

Japanese. actually lefeudedieu is not a dev (at least in rockchip/cyanogenmod area). I know he released some CM6/7 roms but he just used files from another real dev called kornyone from archosfan forum (he explained it in his post). he also commented about my CM on my thread but it was useless.

kornyone stopped making CM for archos(rockchip) tablet after his tablet was broken. he released his code on github, but I did'n use his code(I already done simiar work at that time) so his work(and lefeudedieu's rom) is not updated anymore.

sadly I couldn't find any other devs for CM for rockchip (very recently splatterb0y helped me). while ago I tried to make complete rom(update.img) for all RK2818 tablets. I collected 20+ ROMs for it, and gave up it ;) it need toooooo many disk space :(

so I just put boot.img and system.img for now. I'm happy someone like you try to make complete rom for specific tablet.

please use my new image. calibration app should be useful at this time.

thank you for your cooperation.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] fun_:
I'm not sure about "fully rooted" but I think all you need to do for rooting is just putting su and superuser.apk into system. Titanium Backup may need updated busybox too. I think it worked from my poor memory... what happen if you run Titanium Backup?

there is some froyo custom roms for rk2818 tablet on slatedroid/archosfan forum. you can use/refer their boot/system.img for your tablet. it may need some files are replaced but most things can be shared.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DaremoS:
It is as you say... but this have to be done in a different way than normal rooting: system in RK2818 is CRAMFS, as you surely know, this mean that it's NON writeable, then to add apps it must be done in Linux and then reflashed. Thus normal rooting doesn't work in normal RK2818, only temporal its possible.

About this... are Google Apps included in your system.img?

When I run Titanium Backup in Froyo v4 here it claims it's not rooted, the same as Root Checker. BUT many applications (like Root Explorer) recognize it as rooted.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] fun_:
ah, sorry, of course it's cramfs. I said just putting su and superuser.apk into system.img and reflash it :)

yes, it's different way, but you can make working pre-rooted update.img. I think it should be enough.

no gapps in system.img on my site because google doesn't permit it. official cyanogenmod also doesn't include gapps in their official update.zip.

so I wrote FAQ on my thread: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12969087&postcount=2

"download gapps for CM7 and add files in zip into cramfs system.img" it's quite easy work :)

how to customize cramfs on Linux/Windows are well described on many sites because it's same as rk2808 (probably almost 1year passed 1st rk2808 custom rom made)

EDIT:

oh, already 1year passed, hooray! :) http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/969...ootimg-successfully/page__p__10953#entry10953

probably this doc is well described how to make custom rom http://wiki.archosfans.com/index.php?title=Dump_your_Home_Tablet_rom_and_create_a_custom_rom

of course you(everyone who read this post) need to use update.img for your tablet as a base.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DaremoS:
I've done this once (add Google apps CRAMFS in system)... and it didn't work... that's why I pick Swedish ROM to patch. Can you do that for me? privately I mean my e-mail is daremos@gmail.com.

Concerning what was written in your page: RK2818 HAVE graphic accelerator. Is used perfectly in Eclair and Froyo and all the firmwares provided with tablets. ARNOVA 84 brings one of the best images reproducing Youtube HQ and HQ movies, problem with their firmware is that don't support several formats (wmv, for instance) while other ROM or firmwares support almost all available formats.

RK2818 is a very underrated chip, as it has also an awesome sound processor (I'm an audiophile), USB port support OTG and G-sensor work fine, to mention same features.

I'm trying to pick from FROYO the way its managed this features (graphic accelerator and G-sensor).
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] fun_:
it's very easy, but I got many helpme request everywhere and it stops me to do my dev work. I have only few time to do dev work :(

of course I can make CM7 img with gapps, but I think it's not so different than swedish rom... why you want it from me? if you really want it, I can provide only once for you, but I can't help you every my CM7 release.

EDIT: in other words, swedish guy confirmed my word in FAQ is true. you already got working gapps with my CM7 in swedish rom.

if you(anyone who) want to see movies, I don't recommend my CM7. I recommend to use official eclair/froyo rom or custom rom based on it. if you found some rom supports more format, then just copy files for that format to your rom. it should not so difficult.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DaremoS:
@FU_N ... Now I have a Froyo fully rooted :) :D:D:D

Froyo v4 posted here has an error in boot.img ... is including lots of unnecessary binaries in /sbin. among them goes a old SU which was corrupting the search for "ROOT" category. I just remove it and now the ROM is OK... with this correction ROM run faster than before... it's awesome!!! ... here is 1:04 so I'll post it here tomorrow.

I'm a happy guy :rolleyes: good night Fukaumi
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Mr.Grimmer:
Hello everyone!

First of all I would like to say thanks for everyone working so hard on this thread, great to see such passion from people around the world!

Now, I just wanted to clarify a few things for people using the NextBook Next 2 device:

The main difference between the device primarily mentioned in this forum and the Next 2 is basically the screen size, processor and RAM amount. The screen size on the Next 2 is about 7" from the 8" from the Prestigio model. That means that a lot of the ROMs linked in this forum would work, but you would get some of the screen being cut off. For instance, when i flashed a Prestigio ROM on my Next 2, I couldn't even get past the calibration part because the things I needed to click were off the screen; so I re-flashed it to the "NEXT 2 Only" ROM originally posted on page 1 of this thread by DonaldDJ (great work by the way bro).

If you are looking to do the same, all you have to do is click on the link at the bottom of Donald's post on page 1, download the tools with instructions, follow the instructions, and away you go. It's fairly simple, and I'm a little embarrassed that I missed it originally to be honest. If anyone wants further clarification please don't hesitate to message me by the way.

Now that I managed to get a custom ROM on my Next 2 I have two questions:

1) I have my device fully rooted and the official android market works. I can access the market and search various apps, but when I go to download one it tells me "download unsuccessful, please try again" after about 10 seconds. Now, is this the market issue that can be resolved by clearing the cache? Because I tried that and It didn't work and I was not sure if that fix was for people who could not even open the market at all. Either way, does anyone know how to get around this issue?

2) My other question is to do with other ROMs that are compatible with a 7" screen. I wonder if there is a list, or if someone could post a list of the ROMs collected on this thread so far, with descriptions of each one (I would be happy to help). I know there's a lot of great ones in here, but its sometimes difficult to know what they contain or what device they're compatible with. That said, if someone could point me in the direction of some ROMs that fit on a 7" screen I would be very appreciative.

Thanks again for taking the time to read my lengthy post, I would like to give back to the community by addressing any questions regarding the Next 2 to anyone who has them. I feel like I've done a lot of research and could provide some insight on this particular device.

Have a great day!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jozomafijozo:
Mr. Grimmer,

I had the same issue with applications failing to download from Market when using Donalds 2.1. on my Prestigio. Clearing cache did not help either.

It is a known issue and the only remedy is to try and find 2.2 ROM for your device.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Mr.Grimmer:
Ah, so I will need 2.2 then, good to know. On that note, anyone know of any good resources to get these ROMs? or is Google the answer here.

Thanks
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] JDfense:
@DaremoS

I'm curious about your froyo version. The last Ver 4 of Froyo works not bad for me, but a little too slow.

By the way, I tested nearly all Versions with an Odys genesis. I most like the Gingerbread-Rom, but I have some problems with the display rotation
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DaremoS:
I like that version too, but the developer (CyanogenMod 7) haven't solved that issue. Rotation is not working. :( . I'll try with some other Gingerbread.

I'll post Froyo v.5 tomorrow.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] fun_:
it sounds only developer has grave responsibility :)

no one try to investigate/fix that issue yet.

btw, you said you will make new update.img with 0717 CM7? or are you talking about completely another "Gingerbread"?

I want to know new Calibration app works with 8" tablets or not. (no report so far)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DaremoS:
I would like to try with yours... but I don't feel confident adding Google applications on it. I work mainly in Windows 7. I have a notebook with Ubuntu to try some minor issues, but this is not so easy for me. It would be great if you send me your system.img with Gapps.

This matter of Rockchip 3-axis Accelerometer (G-sensor) was solved by the people op Rockchip and it's working fine in their 2.1 version. I suppose in their kernel 2.6.25. That's the reason why it's used the same kernel in Froyo and GB for RK2818. Then it's necessary to take the modules (if there's any) that deals with this feature for Gingerbread. Of course Cyanogen won't do this as they don't have a project for RK2818. Is the same with Rockchip Multimedia Processor RK28 series (graphic accelerator).

Both features work fine in Froyo, but is not working in Gingerbread. To make it work it's needed lots of research.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] fun_:
as I said you can customize system.img on Windows... did you read my post?

even if it isn't easy, you should try yourself if you really want it. there is no responsibility to make it by developer(actually, it's just one of user who want to use CyanogenMod on RK2818).

it seems you misunderstand something. Rockchip peope didn't *solve* accelerometer. they *made* eclair/froyo rom with working accelerometer at first. then I made(ported) CyanogenMod7 for RK2818, but I can't support(solve) accelerometer yet.

accelerometer just work on official eclair/froyo rom naturally.

Rockchip continue to use 2.6.25 from cupcake(1.5) for RK2808 to froyo for RK2818. of course new codes are added to support RK2818 but base version is same. there is no gingerbread rom for RK2818 from Rockchip.

I used some proprietary files from froyo rom for CM7 for RK2818. it's quite normal way to port Android/CyanogenMod. you can easily check what I did because I provide all files to build CyanogenMod7 for RK2818 as open source.

from some of your posts in this thread, it seems you can't recognize/accept me as original author of CyanogenMod7 for RK2818 posted here. I don't know why, but I'm only one person currently (slowly) working for CM7 for RK2818 and there is no other developer, no CM7/gingerbread rom on the net. (except outdated one from kornyone).

--

for all,

I'll make new CM7 update.img for Next3/PMP3084B/Genesis and post here. it seems only I can do it for now. please test new calibration app when it's released. I'm happy if someone try it and give feedback to me.

sorry, don't expect hardware video decoder, I already researched so much and I gave up to support it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mick232:
I am thinking about buying such a device.

Can anyone tell me how much RAM it has? I can only find info on flash (4GB).
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Mr.Grimmer:
-To which device are you referring to?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mick232:
To the Odys Genesis.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DaremoS:
To end this: from the very beginning I've recognized you as the creator of the ROM... I say the the build is signed by "fun" and "fun" is you fun_ or

FUK_Na... Am I clear?. And you aren't part of the team CyanogenMod or you are?.

I do accept you and I asked your support by adding Gapps into your system.img. I'm dealing with Froyo for the moment.

Concerning the work of Rockchip in Eclair for RK2818, maybe Donut or previous, it's pity clear that they does the necessary steps to adapt android to their chips about 2 or more years ago. when appears the first androids in PMP devices (MP3, MP4, MP5, etc) in brands like Ainol, Ramos, Onda, etc. Right now there's an excellent Ainol Novo 5 running RK2818 and android 2.2 in a 5" screen.

FroyoV4 Update And Browser Fix

Thanks MajstorSpeedy for the froyo update. But im having problems uninstalling any of the apps you supplied within the rom. Especially Security Guard it conflicts with a few of my apps i would like it gone but it is not possible for me in your update of the rom.

I would also like to point out ONCE AGAIN that the default browser is not broken. I have noticed only one problem with the browser so far using the next3 not sure about the other devices tho. just stay away from www dot google addresses and it works fine. i can sign into my google account from other websites and apps just not from www google dot com. I can even manually type in the Gmail address URL into the browser and open gmail just fine. all you have to do is just stop the default www google dot com page from loading and change your home page :)

It has to be something simple that the www dot google address is asking for from the tablets and not getting properly with the updated roms. Cheers
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DaremoS:
To uninstall such applications is required a good app manager. Known as such is Titanium Backup. If you have another so powerful please let me know.

Anyway I'm posting v5 that handles Titanium without troubles.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MajstorSpeedy:
Hi all again!

Finally i've got my device back.

In fact, they provided me with a brand new one (it's PMP3084B).

So now i can continue with my efforts here.

In this post i would like to thank fun_ on his work so far.

Without him it would not be possible to make gingerbread for our devices (next3, genesis, 3084).

As i can see at the moment, some more people has joined the combined effort to make these devices work with latest android versions and i would like to thank them on that help.

Now, full speed ahead!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jozomafijozo:
