Would ya know that did the trick!!!

The 1.23 version was too new apparently but as exciting as it was seeing the green box mentioned in the instructions, where it says the following:

-wait until "UPGRADE END 1 OK 0 FAIL" in the log window appears

I got an error during the writing phase and it gave me an "UPGRADE END 0 OK 1 FAIL" instead. :(

So I'll have to accept defeat for today and probably tell me buddy his daughter is going to be **** out of luck and stuck with Android 1.5. :D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] JDfense:
This is not my own experience, because I have no next 2. So there is no warranty that it will do the trick. This Adam Outler, who mentioned the bq rom is an advanced member.

I would try the older Rkbatch for 2808 or this one http://cnpad.info/tag/rkandroiddm-exe/

-Genesis, PMP3084B and Next3 with DaremoS gingerbread 2.37

I flashed this to a friends next3. Runs well. Much better than stock so far. One thing I'm not understanding is the partitioning, its crazy. It shows so many internal/SD/external SD... couple more I believe. Totalling it up its less than 1 gb of space. Anyone have any idea why its like that?

If you need more info let me know. I can be more specific, I'm just not near it at the moment.

Edit: SD, internal storage 496mb, /mnt/nand 529mb, /mnt/USB, haha the rest of the internal went poof?

.... and apparently nothing can be downloaded without an sdcard...

bqDarwin for RK2818 tablets, rooted with Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed, lastest so you not get su out of date notifications. Tested on Next3, may not work on other tablets. IMDb works, Titanium Backup installs but cramfs is read only so cannot restore backups. Some apps will not install maybe because of cramfs or flash. http://www.mediafire.com/?joddvif7a4ba2ve

I have the same problem with titanium. Our rooting seems to be not complete.

Maybe we have do to it with linux.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] stevemp:
RK2818 is cramfs, read only. You can combine system with rw system on flash using aufs but may not be stable. That is what Linux live cds do. I would like to move system/app to internal flash but need more time to study and think.

No, you miss nothing. I have no answer right now.

If you want to try Prestigio version, you can try a bqreader darwin kernel instead.

You mentioned too much drives with DaremoS gingerbread. I see that too, but I have no problems with apk installations.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] whiteguypl:
So far daremos gingerbread has run the best on this next3. If i installed an apk from the market it worked fine. What i was trying to do was download a backup apk from dropbox and i realized it wouldnt let me download anything without an sd card. haha.. i dont have any extra right now to test with. That and the missing 1gb of storage is strange. If i cant get something running as stable as daremos i will run and get an sd card and see what happens, i did like it a lot.

Only 57, but retired three years ago. Born and raised in Florida, maybe not speak such great english, southern version of english. Learning some spanish due to using bq firmware. My first computer was a Commodore 64 I bought in 1983.

stevemp
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] JDfense:
Okay, than is the word »aufs « is southern slang:) . In german is aufs=up in english.

Never mind I'm 47, only a bit younger, so I have still to work for some years while you and DaremoS can playing around with android all the time.:cool:

Btw my first computer was a C64, too. And my second was a amiga 2000 with intel8088 pc card inside - once a technical revolution, now a piece for the museum. After that I was lost to the dark side of force - windows pc. Never made the path to linux. Maybe when I will retire.

Florida remembers me, that I have to watch another episode of burn notice.:D:D:D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mysho:
lol, first computer i was using (for playing) was C64 too :D my grandfather had it

and JDefense, i'm just flashing 2.2 rom you posted for me

ok, that's not bad but screen rotation is like it was in that cyanogenmod, and files app rotates even when i turn it off in settings, sound is bit louder than before, but with same quality, i like it, btw you must have cooked it at least from 3 roms as i see, thank you for your hard work

i will try to play with that when i get home, i think that on wednesday i could post something

by the way, am i the only one with 7" 800x480 screen? or should i post my rom when i will make it?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] stevemp:
aufs is an advanced multi layered unification filesystem in linux, Wikipedia description. Just means you can join two file directories and linux sees it as one. Linux is really the kernel that other people build on such as android, so you are a linux user!

stevemp
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mysho:
stevemp android is not linux, it just uses linux kernel but nothing more than kernel, if you say android is linux, it's like saying motorboat is car because it uses engine that was originally built for cars

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] markosan:
Hi all,

I recently bought the PMP3084B and am quite happy with it, except for the imprecise TS, but hey, for that price I understand we can't have everything. Now, I'm using the official 2.1.15 Eclair ROM (after trying the official 2.1.19 and the darwinbq Froyo by stevemp) as I found it to be the most stable and the TS somehow seems to work best. Now the only problem I have is that fullscreen apps hide the status bar, and then I can't hit the BACK button, which is obviously needed in several apps (I know that long presses on the hard keys will result in HOME and MENU, but sometimes you desperately need BACK :) ). In the darwinbq Froyo the status bar with the navigation and volume buttons was always visible so there was no problem. I don't know if fullscreen was disabled or some other trick was used (or maybe its default Froyo behavior?), but the fact is that it was perfect for this device with no hard button for BACK.

So, does anyone know if there is a way to do this easily via some app - I mean disable fullscreen or somehow keep the status bar always on top?

Or...ermm...would any of you esteemed chefs around here be willing to cook up a 2.1.15 ROM with fullscreen disabled / status bar always visible? And maybe strip all the bloatware? Pretty please?

Any help on the issue is greatly appreciated, and I will fully understand if no one finds time to fiddle with old Eclair in this brave new age of Froyos and Gingerbreads ;)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] JDfense:
The advantage of froyo are the volume buttons in the task bar, gingerbread cm7 has instead the advantage that you can over the cyanogen adjustment disable fullscreen and you place the bar on top or down the screen.

Maybe you try this gingerbread first.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] stratus2772:
Is there a way to calibrate the TS with one of those Gingerbread ROMs?

I found that it was great on my PMP3084 but the calibration was off by a few milimeters and there was no way I could calibrate it. Maybe with some third-party app?

Thanks in advance.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] JDfense:
I have heard that there is no need for manual calibration, when you have right kernel as base. Which gingerbread version have you tested for your pmp3084?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] stratus2772:
I've tested DaremoS version with that cool ICS launcher. I believe the filename was something like "theromv7" or similar.

When I finish reading what I was reading, I'll definitely try the version you posted in your previous post. Maybe a re-flash will make it fine :)

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] stevemp:
With windows 98 you could still boot into dos 7.0, in android download terminal and you can use linux (GNU) commands, or use adb to connect to tablet and those are linux (GNU) commands. Android runs on linux kernel. Linux distributions use GNU system tools and libraries from the GNU Project and they prefer it to be called GNU/Linux. History lesson here, off topic about RK2818.

Daremos it seems your new gingerbread has the same battery drain problem as the last on next3. Screen wakes up on its own after a certain amount of time and stays on. Tomorrow I'm going to see if it has something to do with using the power button to turn the screen off.

New firmware

New firmware from Prestigio, PMP3084BA-V3.0.4. Bug fixes and speed increase.

http://www.mediafire.com/?nh3nk3cx69kjmh2

I just stripped out bloatware and added a couple of apps. Also remapped keys, volume up and down, long press volume up to go back instead of home. Seems really fast to me, no bugs so far. Battery life is good, watched over an hour of videos with wifi off and still showed half charge. I have Next3, may not work on all tablets.

stevemp
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] markosan:
Alright, I tried both DaremoS's latest GB streamlined version (which does inded include the CyanogenMod stuff :o ), and JDefense's GB v8, but something was way off with the TS, especially the left side, aka the lower side where the keyboard appears when rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise. The presses registered almost 1 cm toward the center of the screen from where I pressed (using fingernail or stylus). In addition I had a feeling that the apps took longer to start, just didn't feel as responsive as Eclair. Of course, the fullscreen problem was taken care of with the CM settings. Oh yeah, in the latest DaremoS's version the homescreen was in landscape mode and didn't rotate.

Then I tried the rooted Prestigio 2.1.2 (formerly russian) suggested by heart_crafter, and it really worked like a charm. I was just about to start doing cartwheels in celebration, when the st*pid market stopped working with the famous unsuccessful download message (after I already successfully DL-ed a few apps). I tried the usual fixes - clear cache/data of all google apps, checkin service, download mngr, market, reboot multiple times, disconnect and reconnect wifi, SD card in/out, and got nothing. Tonight I will try this fix, as it was already 2 AM when I found it and a man needs some sleep also. If that doesn't work I guess next up to try will be this fine new stripped Froyo that stevemp presented us :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jozomafijozo:
Sleep(Standby?)OfDeath is gone!

Here is a little update on my flashing front.

I just flashed my 3084 with the custom ROM based on BQ Darwin Froyo kernel, which I found here

What surprised me is that SODs I experienced with all the Froyo and GB ROMs I tried previously are gone!

Maybe its because this time I deleted IDB with RKAndroidTool before flashing the ROM?

What is this IDB thing anyway and could it be the reason that I am no longer getting SODs?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nauj666:
The BDI is used to format the internal memory, leaving it without any partition.

It is used when flashing a rom with a larger data partition that is assigned the internal memory.

Let me say that I've been trying to solve following bugs:

1. Automatic waking :) ... which of course waste battery.

2. Vanishing Mass Storage screen ... connection with PC... which is solved by rebooting.

3. Blind media List ... list of media files not appears in applications which work fine when invoked from File Manager

The thing is that Gingerbread work so fine in out limited Rockchip devices that I've make all my limited efforts (I'm not a Linux specimen) to fix this... without good results :(

So I encourage everybody to take the ROM and try to correct this, as we do in early stage to get video in GB.2.3.4 and above.

About CyanogenMod... I started with this ROM when was in 2.3.4 and I remove all I can about CM because gives extra weight to the ROM... but I left CyanogenMod menu because adds extra functionality (great functionality!!!).

Together we will get the best ROM :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] whiteguypl:
I agree the benifits of cm7 are to much to pass up compaired to the modified stock rom's. I was surprised that anyone had even started a port for these devices. Its great minor bugs and runs everything I would use it for smoother than anything else. The only bug that aggravates me is that I can't get YouTube to play video. Everything else is good to go. I really appreciate your work. Thanks.

Also I've been troubleshooting the auto screen wake this morning and so far it seems that as long as you let it go to sleep on its own (as in do not use the power button) it stays asleep. My guess is if you turn it off with power button when it decides its time to sleep it actually wakes up. But I am not a Dev so I don't really know what I'm talking about. Its just my best guess so far.

Edit: I just walked into the other room and the screen was on so i guess that is not the problem. (came on even when i did not use power to put it to sleep) Maybe part of the problem?

If i remember right my phone had a problem (on cm7 nightlies) with screen off with wifi sleep set to when screen turns off. I just changed it to never to see if that effects the problem.
