i changed some strings(like when you hit power off it ask you a bit different now) and default wallpaper... at first i was planing to add restart button in powermenu but that will be in probably next version or maybe ill learn how to make an flashable update file...

the biggest app i removed was gmail... unless you use your tablet for corporate email, i dont think you need that... you can always use the email app for all other emails...

rom manager to fix security (permission)

added free power widget...

buttonremapper...

updated busybox...

added auto memory manager...

replaced stock calc with realcalc...

removed rootexplorer(since its not free :D and so ppl can install what ever explorer they like, i prefer es file explorer because you can browse net/ftp/localnetwork/root)

i was trying to put es file explorer as default but i was having problems getting in root from it... if i install it thru market it works fine...

i forgot to add system clean up app to remove phone like apps if you like.

also i want able to put terminal... im not sure why some apps cant be installed correctly automatically...

fixed keys in recovery.img so harware keys works in recovery for Next3

i guess all devices should have different recoveries probably because they dont have same hardware keys...

check out the attached image... my home screen and some apps i use...

edit:

hvdwolf gingerbread from an Archos forum?

let me know the rom link ill try it out...

edit2:

if you are askin me to try to do r/w root... then ill need to know which rom r you talking about...

i think if you just use the same boot.img with other roms root should work... after normal superuser installation show in this page...

thankx :D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] heart_crafter:
try installing SystemCleanUp app (apps2sys) and freez phone.apk and restart...

or you can do the following (i found these commands very helpfull while editing framework-res installation)

in cmd:

adb shell

stop

mv /system/app/Phone.apk /system/app/Phone.apk_

reboot

stop i think stops the shell...

and start... starts it up...

i was using these commands while installing and checking framework-res

unlike before i was making full system rom to test this...

thats it for now....
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] stevemp:
Thanks, but it was jukefox that was force closing, it wants to download stuff, when you first use it. Connecting to my network seems to have fixed the problem. Added a few apps, screenshot.

stevemp :cool:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] heart_crafter:
kool...

still you should freeze phone.apk because it runs cell id in background for no reason... :P i think it helps the battery alot :D

trying to figure out how to get cwrecovery on it now :D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] JDfense:
Jukefox is a cool player and it helps DaremoS gingerbread to play all mp3 formats. After the first it needs some time in the internet for making the playlist, but after that it was stable for me.

Do you want to try it as our testpilot for Missions Imposssible? I have no idea, what's the issue. Maybe our Linux connection from Florida, Mr. Stevemp will participate at this small challange.

There is maybe another problem with unknown cause in the rom - SOD's, but right now my last version works without SOD's for 5 hours.

I tried the aufs.ko for the r/w rooting, but it don't work for the system folder. Maybe you can fix it.:rolleyes:

@heart_crafter

the phone.apk needs in my opinion some battery power more, but I'm still not shure about the sideeffect to take this app out.

I need gsync for calendar, mail and contacts, so I can't take gmail out.:)

I tried the aufs.ko for the r/w rooting, but it don't work for the system folder. Maybe you can fix it.:rolleyes:

When you see fake-kernel.img misc-newcmd.img that is TWK from swededroid method of writing system to flash and making it rw. Use DaremoS boot.img and recovery.img from gingerbread plus his build.prop, vold.conf, vold.fstab from system. build.prop goes in /, vold.* in /etc. Is hvdv4.img old version of fun_? 7htv2_gingerbread.05.img seems to be a later version that has hw acceleration working. I have calibration problems so far, just thought maybe you want to try.

stevemp :confused:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] JDfense:
Yes 7htv2_gingerbread.05.img is originally based on fun_stuff. But this rooting only the small problem. The main issue are the SOD's in this fun_stuff. The changes of hvdwolf made the rom more stable on my genesis. On archos tablets hvd system should work fine.

http://forum.archosfans.com/viewtopic.php?f=81&t=57534

But I can't solve this SOD problem and you can see the problem not at once. It needs some hours like virus, then you get first SOD, then more and more until the rom crashes everytime after several minutes in stand by.

This time it seems that the escalation of this issue stays away. The hvdwolf is a very good gingerbread without this one and only bad behavior.:eek::mad:

edit:

Maybe you need a second flashing from froyo. I had the same problem. The calibration isn't good as in the darwin froyo with the same darwin kernel.

This combination that you describe is a bit mixed up. Are you shure that this work together? I have no calibration or screen rotation problems with the hvdwolf gingerbread.

Understood you right, with the fake-kernel and misc-newcmd I get a read and writeable system? For what are these vold.* files?

Anyway I will follow your strange linux path, when Iam done with the SOD problem of the fun_stuff. Please report, when you get problems with waking up from standy(crashes in case you need reset button) or sudden wake up.

Maybe I got you wrong, but host mode is not the same as debugging mode. These are two different settings.

No problem in any way :) it seems to be a work by nauj666 :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] stevemp:
question

@JDfense

No matter what I try DaremoS gingerbread is better than fun_.

What is it that you like about 7htv2_gingerbread.05?

Maybe we can bring it to our cooked roms.

stevemp :confused:

Well, I was curious about this rom. So I changed to the latest bq kernel and five hours later still no problems. Now I am working on making it rw.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] heart_crafter:
ok... debugging mode is on ... host mode is off...

my pc recognize disk drives but they are not mapped as any drive letters...

in notification bar i see USB connected (select to copy files to/from your computer.) when i hit this nothing happens...

is there a way to force connect device as a device lol

i feel like i cant explain this...

---------- Post added at 07:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:21 PM ----------

i kinda modified this rom yesterday to get root writable and added/removed some apps and lil modification in framework-res and keyboard. Original file name was Gingerbread237 BQ Firmware Dar237v8

only prob i got is i am not able to use adb... because my pc isnt recognizing it as a bq device or anything like that...

That of adb is a problem for me too :o ... I was trying that QTadb utility posted by Perichel here and it was impossible to see into the device... I think that in one moment I'm going to take a look on it.

For the moment I want to make the ROM show and play media files in RockVideoPlayer.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DaremoS:
Sorry so much for skip this problem...

This is an issue since the very beginning

Solution is to reboot... after this the elusive screen "USB mass storage" with the green android will appear!! :o:o:o
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] heart_crafter:
green android did appeared in couple restarts... but my pc still did not recognized it....

maybe i need to run some command in terminal to make it work...

edit:

for some reason my next3 is getting recognized as "My HTC"

and adb works now :O

this is what i did:

kill all adb instance from your pc; if any

plugged in the device to the pc

figured out the device name using USBDeview (there is a date plugged in column; i sorted it by that)

unplugged the device from pc

unmounted nand from storoge menu

unmounted sdcard from storoge menu

rebooted device

uinstalled device(find device name figured before) driver using USBDeview

plugged in the device...

adb shell worked...

QtADB also worked...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] heart_crafter:
Daremon, any idea how to disable status bar on top...? (so full screen work)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] JDfense:
There is no special sense to improve this fun_stuff, DaremoS gingerbread is really better in my opinion,but I don't like loose ends.

Btw audio and video file listing work in the hvdwolf rom.

I'm playing in the settings for a while and I got no more SODs so fare.

CyanogenMod-7.2.0-RC0-RK2818-KANG Full Root

Here you go :D

2012012304_hvdv4_Root-RW_en.img - 84.67MB - Mirror AKA CyanogenMod-7.2.0-RC0-RK2818-KANG

I take no other credit except for the following modification:

+Has fully working read write root :D

+bq Firmware

+Some framework edits again :D (affect only if you use English as language)

+Added/Removed some apps

+mapped hardware keys / app to map keys

+changed system font

If you want to force run market: (if not shown in drawer)

Open SystemCleanup

Long press Market app then hit launch

Recommendations:

Do a full charge before flashing.

After flashing and after ts calibration(restart), let the tablet sit for 2-6 minutes.

Put the device on flat surface then calibrate using a stylus.

If you don't do a full charge before flash, charge it fully later then delete /data/system/batterystats.bin for better battery performance.

Run RomManager and hit fix permissions.

CyanogenMod Settings>Input>Volume rocker wake = true

Tablet tweaks> disable lock screen = true

Disable all animations...

If your device does not have haptic feedback hardware then turn off heptic feedback were ever you see it....

If power menu>screen shot is not working:

run adb /system/bin/screenshot

if you see a *.bmp file in root of your sdcard then try power menu>screen shot again... and let me know if that work (worked for me) :P

If computer does not recognize the device:

Kill all ADB instances in windows

Unplug the device

UnMount the SD Card/Eject the card

Plug device back in (works every time for me)

Note: Be careful when you do the calibration; badly configured calibration can cause the touch to be way off that could make impossible to hit some icons lol (i have to figure out how to reset the calibration using adb because it drove me insane :D at one point). If this happens to you, run "adb reboot recovery" and just do a factory reset.

Runs fine on Next3

Have fun :D

Maybe because today I used Rom Manager to fix permissions and rebooted. Also it is now a rw rom thanks to heart_crafter.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] heart_crafter:
talking about CM7, see post# 1919

Happy to hear that :P

i included rom manager just for that... could have fixed something in system since its writable now...

also, i have put ausf in boot>\system\modules < this made root explorer to be able mount system as ro also.... else it was just rw...

but i think JDefnce said music/video worked before...

give me link to v5 ill do the same process on it... and see if it fixes any issues...

if i said someting that offended anyone, please forgive my ignorance. :D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] JDfense:
In my hvdv4 media list worked last time I checked yesterday, but I don't think that the rooting trials had something to do with it. DaremoS try the original hvdwolf 05 again. I believe it could do the trick without my help.

Sent from CM7 on Rockchip using XDA
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DaremoS:
Guys stevemp & heart_crafter,

Don't waste your time, I've been a couple of month trying to fix this issue.

It's related with a lib called libmediaservice.so located in /system/lib, once this lib is installed to make work Rockchip video hardware acceleration, all the list of media disappear in regular video and music players. (Rockvideoplayer.apk and music.apk).

Mobo player work fine as it's directed to some directory to scan media. Some other media player will act the same if it's directed to some specific directory.

This annoying behaviour is related with the ability of regular apps to scan for media on the background. This takes lots of time with this lib, at the end it will display media, that makes you think that the problem is "by miracle" solved!!. But the scanning will start again for modifications, then it will disappear the list once again until the scan is ended.

There are 2 problems with this:

. the device turns a bit slower due to the scanning in background.

. media can't be easily played, usually blocking the device, when attempt to play from this false lists.

One mayor problem is that Rockvideoplayer.apk can't be used :( and is the only player capable of redirect videos to HDMI (for the devices with such feature). BTW this app is an awesome video player!!! Supposedly designed by Rockchip.

If you want to see how was working gb.2.3.7 for rk2818 BEFORE HDvideo accelerated pick this ROM rk28_7_gb7_mine.24 and you will notice that all media was working perfectly.

Unfortunately, there is no enough information of this lib and its inter relation with other libs.

Happy Valentine Day!!!

I'm curios about this root job. It works for me not with aufs.ko. I have tried it in the hvdV4.img. So lets see, what our man from Phili can do.

---------- Post added at 04:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:51 PM ----------

@DaremoS

Let him try to fix it. Maybe a fresh head can find the trick. In my last flashing the media list works in hvdwolf, but I didn't test for a long time, because I was on the rooting trip. Maybe it was on a point only temporarly. Next time I have the fun_stuff based rom on the tablet I look longer for video and audio.

I'm shure finally we can fix it together. Every small step helps to solve the puzzle.

DaremoS, found these lines in libmediaplayerservice.so.

MetadataRetrieverClient retriever is not initialized invalid mode

Maybe it helps. The rk28_7_gb7_mine.24.img I believe is using Android Open Source Project code which does not have hw acceleration for our rk2818, but all the librarys work together. Some choices to make, if you have source code for libmediaplayerservice.so, then try to fix it. Write a custom hardware acceleration driver for stagefright, hard to do without info from rockchip. Use custom meta search for android music and video player, or only use foxtunes and mobo player. I keep looking but we are talking java and c++ coding which I know little about. :eek:
