Best ROM yet! Wow :)

YES! YES! YES! YES!

Confirmed working beautifully on Prestigio PMP3084B

- video the only missing component.

- USB mount - 100% OK

- Settings -> CyanogenMod Settings - 99% Working (only Performance area FCs... duh ;))

--- With CM Settings / ADWLauncher you can move staus bar between top or bottom and left or right - nice!

- Orientation - 100% (enable 180 degree in CM Settings/Display and it will rotate all around)

- Browser - 100%

- Google Accounts and sync - 100% (Contacts, Calendar and Gmail 100%)

- Market - 100%

- Calibration tool and calibration is great. Screen smooth and fast. I switch off all animations and it just snaps! Dunno why anyone wants to watch the screens transitions... just hurry up already :)

NOTE: Let CM7 reboot a few times and settle down. I have found a noticeable difference in performance after the initial few reboots and just leaving it alone for a while (very difficult ;))

- One thing still giving me grey hairs is the keyboard. FYI: On first boot with this new ROM, I went straight to WiFi and tried to connect, but then when I needed to type in the network key, I get a dialog about input method... went into settings keyboard, all looked ok (I re-confirmed each setting), then it worked fine next time I touched an input area.

- Double typing and mis-typing still a LOT, both landscape and portrait. Have installed Hacker's Keyboard and will configure now to see if it helps at all... else will keep looking for better keyboard. Enabling sound seems to help somehow... you get to hear the double-types.

Small things also discovered:

- Can't find any audio as far as notifications and alarms go... will try figure out what folders are required (apparently in 2.3 there's no longer a /media folder?) and move some files in there. Right now only Silent is listed as an option for notifications and alarms

EDIT: Seems after a reboot everything I put into SDCARD/Media/Audio/notifications (or /alarms or /ringtones) has been found and is now showing in sound-notification ringtone setting and available in alarms.

- Live wallpapers don't seem to work - but I really am not bothered with that.

- Can see my phone's Ad-Hoc WiFi (using WiFi Tether on HTC Hero running CM7 nightlies) but can't seem to get tablet connected to it (yet ;)). Trying auto IP address it doesn't work (sits waiting for IP address), but using a fixed IP address it connects then disconnects over and over... going to try Barnacle and will let you know if I succeed. (This is the 1st time I'm trying tethering so might have some things to learn... but it's not install and play just yet ;)) Might be a problem on the phone side, not the tablet.

THIS IS FANTASTIC GUYS. ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC. My cheap Prestigio is eating Gingerbread for breakfast! All my favourite Apps have installed and work 100%.

What can I do to help anyone with figuring out Video. If you Einsteins crack that... we will have an amazing device (Oh... and a clockable kernel would be sublime... but that's maybe putting the cart before the horse ;))

Thanks, thanks, thanks. You guys are stars.

@i004909

Thank you for your detailed feedback. It helps a lot to learn more about custom roms. Maybe a stock ROM from Prestigio PMP3084B-Website as base could take out some of the smaller errors.:rolleyes:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kova555:
I'm not keep kernel.

I don't know how I can do this!??

My tablet is Prestigio pmp5100.

I using rkandroidbatchupdate tool, the upgrade area was be green, and I'm try update with this tool.

How can open recovery mode on tablet???

In service tells me that it possible but with some software.which software i need to open recovery menu???
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DaremoS:
-cyanogenmod adjustments crashes everytime <------------ cyanogenmod have been removed, need to replace the screen

-google sync is deactivated <------- sync with contacts is this?

Thanks JDfense

OK JDfense
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DaremoS:
OK... that was your error.

Here is a clear manual on how to put the device in recovery ----> Prestigio link

Here are the original firmware ----> Prestigio link

You were capable of install a new ROM, so you know how to use RKAndroidBatchUpgrade.

Good luck!... Next week... I'll prepare a Froyo special for your device
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DaremoS:
ok smart guy... you missed this here and this here ... if the user wants to take his options, I can't go to his house and stop him!!! :D:D:D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kova555:
I have done these steps!

After failed flashing custom rom, I was tryed make recovery using instructions and firmware but when start update official rom in RKAndroidBatchUpgrade tool write:

- starting update,

-start test device

and after this message ,green update area is yellow and flashig very long.I waited few hours but still flashing yellow update area and write 0%.

Thanks for trying to help me!!!!!

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] LordApocolypse:
Explanation

DaremoS,

You mentioned the clip method. Would you mind explaining that further?

Nothing happens when I press the down arrow and plug it into the USB port. (No sound, etc. (nothing at all).

Thanks in advance !
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] JDfense:
Hi DaremoS, I don't know exatly which gapps you need for email, contacts and calendar. It seems to change from version to version.

My genesis works for me as organizer(Synchronisation beetween tablet to googlemail and Outlook - works fine). For gingerbread I have in use at least

GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter

GoogleContactsSyncAdapter

Maybe other googleapps are involved in syncronisation.

I can't find a clear documentation, so I put all gapps for cyanogenmod7 from fun_s link http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.ph...on#Google_Apps in system\apps-folder.

If I have some time, maybe I figure out, which apps are really nessesary(bloatware:eek:).

Android market is biggest update.

It seems like Russian PMP3084BRU_FW_V2.1.13.zip but translated.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Iknownot:
Also 2.1.15 available.

It takes a long while to download this relatively small file from their site, but no OTA notification so far on my device, so I have to do it manually.

I never missed. I said

"What you have to do is to take kernel.img, misc.ing & recovery.img of your device... and use boot.img & system.img of any rom posted here"

"keep the kernel of your device (plus a couple of other files)"

is incomplete, unclear, not enough.

other people say like "use your stock update.img, and replace only boot.img and system.img. otherwise you'll get brick".

and you don't understand what happen if bootloader for another tablet is flashed. bricked device can't be flashed with RKAndroidBatchupgrade.exe anymore.

EDIT:

you must read this post again and again

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] fun_:
sorry, no idea. how often?

if you want to ask this issue on other tablets, CM7 thread is better.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DaremoS:
I haven't been able to get a picture of the Google applications interrelated, except for Market which need 4 to function properly: vending, market uploader, google framework services & Network location.

Somewhere in the net there must be a good explanation of this... if it were so, I wouldn't waste so much time when my new ROM get blocket.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ricom2ger:
Does the newer Prestigio firmware system.img still use cramfs? :confused:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DaremoS:
Cramfs, compressed ROM file system, a non writable memory rom, is not an option in RK2818... it's the way it works Rock-Chips chip, to save space and efficiency.

Read here Cramfs.

Can be changed, but requires lots of extra space. Non recommendable.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ricom2ger:
I cannot unpack system.img from PMP3084B_FW_V2.1.15 update.img. I get this:

Something changed?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DaremoS:
Nope... means that system.img is encrypted. You have to decrypt it.

Use a program called decrypt_system_img.

After that it can be with bad CRC. for that you have to run a program called cramfsck_nocrc to open it.

Then you have to repack it with mkcramfs

Finally you'll have to generate a new CRC with rkcrc

All this programs available for Windows and Linux. Google it.

As you see it can be a complex task.

Happy birthday!!! :):):)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ricom2ger:
Thnx :D

About rooting, only softroot is possible?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DaremoS:
Softroot is only temporal (z4root can work, sometimes not). Enough for rkdump it.

Permanent root have to be done outside of the device, by adding superuser.apk in system/app and su in system/bin. user and group set 0/0.

happy new year!!!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ricom2ger:
This part is crucial? How to do that under Windows?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DaremoS:
It's crucial

use a tool called newtuxflash... super tool pal

Happy new year!!!:D:D:D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ricom2ger:
It saves the changes, but is it usable?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MajstorSpeedy:
Yes, it is usable by all means.

Newtuxflashtool is made for devices like sat recievers so when it saves .img file larger than few megs it gives you that error but it is still OK to use with tablet ROM.

Happy Halloween
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ricom2ger:
Mhh, I change the user and group to 0 for su, saved and checked the permissions, made a new update.img and flashed it, but still after I install a Terminal app and enter "su" it gives "Permission denied" output :confused:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DaremoS:
and superuser.apk in system/app? :eek::p:p

reboot and you're done!!

:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kova555:
Help!!!

what can i do?

my device is still dead.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ricom2ger:
This too + BusyBox Binary, but still no root rights for me :confused:

Only if I root it with temporary root like z4root, I get the it :(
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DaremoS:
Use an excellent program to check your root root checker
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ricom2ger:
OK, it's working now correctly :D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DaremoS:
If what appears in the screen is your actual situation... then your device is not bricked due to the ROM you load. Your device is not going along the initial testings.

Probably a problem with the device: a failure in internal flash can be.

The device suffer a failure with the first ROM you loaded, then you are elegible for a replacement of your device.

This is not strange, I suffer the same with my first 8.4" tablet. Was fixed by the manufacturer.

GB v2.3.5 video problem and others

Hi again. Still exploring the Odys CM7 GB 2.3.5 ROM and enjoying it very much except for the keyboard double-types and really REALLY weird accuracy issues of the keyboard!

I've unpacked and compared the FROYO v5 ROM, Prestigio's 2.2Beta1 and OdysCM7GB235 (the one I'm using) and see that in system.img /etc/firmware, there are a few files in the earlier ROMs that are not in the 2.3.5.

1. Could any of these files NOT in the 2.3.5 ROM have something to do with video not working? (all in /etc/firmware)

DspOS.rkl (Prestigio 2.2beta1 ROM specifically) - sounds important.

athtcmd_ram.bin

device.bin

nvram.txt

sdio-g-cdc-reclaim-wme.bin

softmac

and in /lib/egl/

the libGLES_android.so file-sizes are quite different (older ROM's version is larger than 2.3.5 ROMs - but I'm really not sure about this one) sorry if I'm way off track... learning a lot the last few days :))

Second question: I'm also trying to translate all the words in NewTuxFlash (is there an English version?) - and use it to find create changes in my system.img, but...

2. when trying to save the system.img into another folder and or with another name, I get an error message about the size ofthe data or something being tooo big - and warnings about Don't flash the img. Can anyone help me interpret this? If I could understand it... I would be brave enough to try changing the 2.3.5 ROM by adding the missing firmware files I mention above but I'm not sure the new .img file is going to work.

I also see in menu Datei -> Fullstande something about the CRAMFS being over a certain size and a percentage also. Maybe this is where my problem lies? I can't open a clean system.img and save it without this size error message.

3. I don't understand why in some ROM's the permissions on everything are RWX RWX RWX and in others it's RW- R-- R-- am I doing something wrong in unpacking them? I have learned now to rkDecrypt the system.img from the Prestigio issued ROMs but in that 2.2Beta1 for example everything is RWX RWX RWX.

4. I can also confirm the ad-hoc wake event happening. Now and then the tablet is just awake again and the screen is on... not sure why. Maybe it just wants to be played with ;)

5. Final - anyone also unable to use the 'screenshot' feature in the dialog which comes up when you press and hold the power off button? I'd like to be able to use it for reference.

Thanks and sorry again for n00b questions

More ideas about video playback failure in 2.3.5 ROM

Could one of you skilled ROM chefs please take a look at this post:

h t t p: this website /showthread.php?t=1104420

and see if it offers any ideas to the video playback problem in 2.3.5? Perhaps the ROM needs an egl.cfg to make this work? Seems the default for libGLES_android.so is to use software acceleration rather than hardware...

Really hope I'm not seriously lost here... is libGLES at all involved in video decoding and or playback?

If video works on ODYSCM7GB2.3.5 it will be the perfect ROM for everyday use of my PMP3084B (which I'm really beginning to enjoy immensely now thanks to you! ;)) so please excuse me if I'm trying (a lot) to find the missing ingredient :)

By the way, do you have any idea about the Prestigio 2.1.14 rom posted by draxd. I can't open system.img and boot.img with the NewTuxFlash? Do I need Linux in this case?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DaremoS:
No you don't ... that images, boot.img & system.img, have a problem of CRC.

You need a windows tool read this I posted before:

... it can be with bad CRC. for that you have to run a program called cramfsck_nocrc to open it.

Then you have to repack it with mkcramfs

Finally you'll have to generate a new CRC with rkcrc

i flashed one of the prestigio roms on to my nextbook 3 and it worked great for like a week and then one day it would not boot... it shows the splash image then is stuck at the black screen that says android forever!!!

i have tried to use the rom flashing tool to replace whatever is corrupted... but when i launch the program then try to hold down volume and plug it in and the program never shows the green icon that says it is connected...

i have the drivers installed already from first flash... but i cannot figure out why it will not work... does anybody have any input or fresh ideas... im ready to throw this thing out...

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] JDfense:
What happens, if you use reset button after the crash while booting? Shut down or restart? Is the volume button the right button to get in flashing mode?

On my odys genesis is the Menu/down button the right one.

If your Next3 restarts direct after pushing reset button, try holding your volume button before press reset.
