Hey guys just a quick question

I have a nextbook 3 and was woundering if anyone knew the most stable firmware

that might work on this android 2.1 device. Reason for asking is that i do not want to flash this thing to many times to get to the right one

Thanks
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] heart_crafter:
for next 3 i use Dar237pre21

Thank you for the Nextbook 2 rom by delimeat52. I can confirm it works for me. The froyo roms don't work properly, the touch screen is partial off the screen and the buttons are not aligned.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] JDfense:
This one should work fine, too.

Try the rom from Adam Outler mentioned in the thread in post 1478

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20145970&postcount=1478.

This could be a fine rom for your next 2.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] BlikkenS:
Try removing the calibration apk completely from the rom. :) Works for me. Think it's called TSCalibration apk or something like that, you'll find it in the apps folder within the system.img.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ultraplague:
In firmware version Dar237pre21 and megaupload.com/?d=6X8QSVMU

for the nextbook 3 , are the problems with the video and desktop locked in landscape mode fixed? And will this slow the next3 down as far as performance of the tablet?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] JDfense:
@ultraplague

The landscape mode is an issue of the launcher 2 in this rom on desktop. Maybe it gets faster after some rebooting. The version 4 that I mentioned before is a bit faster.

Soon I will release another gingerbread version with a full working launcher.

Video should work. If not, try an extra player like rock player lite from the market.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ultraplague:
Thank you so much for the fast reply on the next3 gingerbread dar237prev4 question:)

If i wait until you upload the newer version with the fixed launcher

how long do you think that will be?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] JDfense:
Maybe in a few days. I do it, when I'm in the mood and have some spare time.

Hopefully your name is not a program.:D:p:D

New Year Edition: Gingerbread 2.37 for genesis, next3 and pmp3084

This time I try to cook a gingerbread that works for all three rk2818 devices of thread.

Gingerbread 2.37 v8 based on DaremoS gingerbread for genesis, next3 and pmp3084

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=DXW50ILQ

I have changed to the fast and stable launcher pro in the system. Screen rotation should now work.

For audio I recommend still jukefox from the market to play all kind of mp3.

The feedback to last releases let me believe that the bq-tablet kernel work on all three tablets good.

So test it and find out...:D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] BlikkenS:
Nice thnx :)

Launcher Pro is a good choise. It's such a shame that the developer walked away from the project though :( . Zeam launcher is another launcher i would recommend, it's very fast and stable.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] JDfense:
I would test the zeam launcher. If the v8 works fine for all three tablets, then we have to wait on the next release of DaremoS or maybe hvdwolf improve his work on the fun_stuff system.

And someone talks about cm9, I can't remember who or when, but this rumour would take some time to become truth.:D;):D

We have a new year and will think in a friendly way of Donalds leaving. Hopefully he finds soon a good reason to come back.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] heart_crafter:
ill test this asap... :D since i dont like the root access/permissions on Dar237pre21 that on my next3 :D

will post the results soon...

edit...

just want to confirm this kernel works on next3

i did not flash this rom yet...

i extracted out the kernel from this rom using AFPTool

and flashed it using RKAndroidTool

started the device... and it still works... now with a different(bq) boot image...

I have a next3 running gingerbread (DAR237PRE.IMG) and am having some troubles with the market. It seems that alot of apps (netflix, pandora, nook, ect..) say my device is not compatable.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] JDfense:
I don't know what the problem is with the market, but I recommend to download my last gingerbread version 8 from yesterday. Maybe you have more fun with this release.

My experience with internet tv or internet video is: forget it with a rk2818 tablet. Wlan and processor are too weak. Internet radio is no problem. I use tune in and it works fine for me.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ultraplague:
Your welcome JDfense

Just one question though? Are there any way to get rid of the lock screen when you first bootup or when you wakeup the tablet?

I have looked through the settings and can not find a way to turn that off.

If not thats fine because this is so much better than the stock rom anyhow :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jozomafijozo:
Try NoLock from the Market.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] BlikkenS:
Yeah it should be not to difficult to fix it i hope :P . There's a parameter in the build.ini within the system.img which is used by the tablet to identify itself to the Market, my best guess is changing that with a correct parameter fixes the problem.

Each android device has a different parameter, matching it's hardware, by which it identifies itself to the Market. By example our tablet hasn't got a camera, so apps which require camera's are not shown in the market, that's what this parameter is for.

---------- Post added at 02:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:58 PM ----------

In his ROM it shouldn't be necesarry to download that app, Cyanogen Rom's allready include this option in their menu. (Settings -> CyanogenMod Settings -> Tablet tweaks -> Disable Lockscreen.

Hello everyone :)

Have a problem with the Gingerbread 2.37 v8 based on DaremoS gingerbread for genesis, next3 and pmp3084 , on my next 3

When plugging in the usb my pc makes the sound then i go to the( usb connected)

select to copy files to/from your computer. Then it just crashes to the front page,

it works sometimes like last night but it just keeps crashing now.

But the tablet still works just can not transfer files now.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] JDfense:
I don't know that problem, because I use an extra usb card reader for copying from/to SDcard.

Hopefully someone has an idea or I look later into it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] m_mandrake:
hi...same problem with usb
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] BlikkenS:
Yeah it's a known bug, DaremoS allready said that. He's not sure if it has anything to do with this rom or if it's a bug in Android itself. Rebooting solves the problem.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mysho:
hi, i tried to run rom froyo v5 on my pmp 3074b

it's very similar to this but it has 800x480 resolution

so it works except that i dont see all things that i should see...

how can i edit resolution?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] JDfense:
The difference between the 3084b and your 3074b seems to be only the screen size.

Both are rk2818 tablets. If you change kernel, recovery and misc for shure with your stock rom files, then you get the correct resolution with your tablet.

By the way, you can test the other roms in this thread, too, when you change everytime to your 3074b stock rom kernel and recovery.

Of course be careful, flashing your tablet can brick tablet.:o
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mysho:
ok, so how can i do it please? this is my first android so only thing i did is that i used rkbatch... to "upgrade" it with update.img file, i don't know how to change some individual folders

or, if you know some way to only change the resolution, it would help me too

and i would like also some way to backup that works on this device, so i wouldn't have to install all apps and do all settings again when i go back to some rom i used previously
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] JDfense:
Here is a beginning for unpack/pack and modding roms. Learning to cook a rom need some time and some experience with operation systems. It is not necessary to know much about linux or android for the first steps.

http://wiki.archosfans.com/index.php?title=Archos_7HT_Modding_modify_update.img_Windows

For backup of your apps you can use the aplication appmonster.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mysho:
thank you very much, i will try it when i have more time (i have finals soon) and post results for other users who have 3074b or similar tablets
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] JDfense:
One thing I don't understand. Why do you want to flash froyo v5? Prestigio has lot of updates. Is there no froyo version for your tablet.

You take better a gingerbread from the thread.

Maybe I built a test version for you, but I can't test it, because I have an 8,4'' tablet.:D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mysho:
yes, prestigio has lot of updates, but they are all 2.1 and their android market shows no apps, only good thing about ROM from prestigio is book reader...

and i think that 2.2 has less bugs than 2.3, that's why i tried it first

sure that you can test your version, u will just see blank space in that 800x120 pixels area that you have more over my tablet, like i don't see 800x120px area at one side...

i would like to test it if you will upload
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] JDfense:
I have tried 7'' roms and I get a boot loop or a partially double screen totally out of control.

Download a firmware from prestigio is very slow. There server network is very weak. I will need maybe an hour for the download.

Edit:

Ooh, now they get a bit faster up to 120kb/s with a download manager, but their net has sudden breakdowns, unbelieveable. Waiting...:o

Edit2:

Here it is. A test version of DaremoS Gingerbread 2.37 for Prestigio pmp3074b --- a 7'' tablet

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=MNY1UEI2

Hopefully this rom will work on the 3074b, but I can't test it with my odys genesis tablet. I think there is a good chance, that it will do the trick for you.

For full mp3 support, you may need jukefox from the market.

Question for froyo v3.0.2

I want to use this version of froyo for pmp 3084b .but browser and market offten force close it selfs ! Why!. Is there metod for change that! Can somebody post link for stabil version of froyo with good market asnd browser without stupid force closes, im tired of use this tablet. I dont buy it to be programer , but to use it for web youtue,notes,games, music ,video,radio. ****ing prestigio china morons-they made tablet without volume controls, without dock station, with big ugly reclame on back, and plastic screen. Responsibly made in china. Heh.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] JDfense:
Try this modded version of the prestigio 3.02

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=SLQG37D2

Hopefully it works better for you. If not, don't kick my ass.:D:D:D

And don't be so angry with Prestigio. You haved buyed a cheapo and the firmware support is good with Prestigio. They make many updates.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MiticaRom:
I've also put DaremoS gingerbread on my Prestigio 3084B

Pro:

-calibration in much better then what I had with prestigio 2.2 version. I was thinking that my tablet has hardware issues regarding calibration but in this version it works ok

-looks ok

Cons:

-After you play one movie from youtube there are redraw issues on the screen, last frame of the video remains as background. As a result you cannot play a 2-nd video, you must reboot. I guess this is related to a video driver

-In standby there is an application that eats the baterry (it could be the DSP processing, I did not had the time to dig on this)

-In market if you open a picture in full screen mode (like an application screenshoot) I could not find a way to exit from it.. so you have to close the market and open it again.

Overall I'm pretty disappointed with all the Android experience that I had until now. I could be related to the Prestigio hardware but I guess android OS is far from being a good OS. For example with 2.2 video was not bad but the calibration issues made typing a nightmare. Now with 2.3 calibration is ok, video (youtube) seems to be ok but only for the first play.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] BlikkenS:
It's not Android, it's our tablets manufacturers. There's a reason why they are so cheap... Not a lot of refinement or real good coding on the rom's, remember that they only "supported" the roms up to Android 2.1. Everything after that we have to find out ourselves, no help from the manufacturers at all! Some companies don't even wanna share their original firmware!!

I can't follow your android blues.;)

For me works Daremos gingerbread fine, my cooked prestigio froyo roms too.

The hvdwolf gingerbread has still some SOD's, but maybe thats not the final version.

For video I see no major problem inDaremoS gingerbread, but I recommend another player from the market like the rock player.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] JDfense:
Okay heart_crafter, I have looked into the problems you mentioned.

1. I get into the root and nmt with android filemanager . Switch on usb host mode and after rebooting choose active usb memory does the trick for me.

2. To the sdcard I found access from pc explorer, too. For the internal memory I think, I need the rk2818 driver, that I had not installed on my pc at work. In the evening I will try to get access from pc to the internal memory.

edit: I find no way to access the internal memory from pc. Maybe it is an issue, then it is a case for Mr. GingerDev- DaremoS:D I will disurb him while he is hard working on greater projects;)

3. This message from market installation I know, but I believe that it simply means, that these apps don't work from sdcard(maybe on these processor type), but I remember a post, that you can force sometimes an app from internal to external memory. I have no experience with pushing apps to sdcard, because I choose evertime to install on the internal. Too much apps to install make our weak tablets slower.:eek:

I add only calendar apps, jukefox, rock player and tunein radio. I don't need anymore.:o
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] amarslikar:
dont work . i think 2.1 eclair is besst fw for 3084b ,only thing that miss is desktop volume control. and posibbility to play games. is good for ebooks, youtube, radio. music, video, fall in volume control ,no good speakers. china ****. i odnt know nothing about chips , tablets, but with prestigio **** i find out that some better android tablet must have 1 ghz processor.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mysho:
so i tried your version of gingerbread for 3074b

auto rotation is rotating bad, (bad g-sensor calibration?) picture's rotated 90 degrees to right

touch screen is calibrated little bit bad

SD card is working but not every time

still cannot mount /system as R/W, looks like it's my tablet, not ROM

i will try browser and market soon and edit this

in froyo for 3084 everything was working including market , only resolution was bad, and i missed some apps from my stock ROM, but i will solve this later...

that's why i wanted 2.2 rather than 2.3, i knew 2.3 will have much problems

other things like video or music sometime work, but not always
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] stevemp:
I agree, only use to read. If you want to play games get a dual core or quad core like the Transformer. Single core even at 1.2 was laggy for me in some games.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] JDfense:
First switch off autoration, then try again video.

Then you must repair the rotation in the system. Unpack the rom with aftptool, open system.img with newtuxflash.

Now you can edit the built.prop in the root of the system.img.

Try to add this lines in in the built.prop:

accelerometer.flip_xy=1

You have this line inside my rom:

accelerometer.invert_x=1

Hopefully both lines together solve your rotation and maybe your calibration problem.

For mp3 you need jukefox from market.

I don't think that froyo would better work for shure, but when I have some sparetime, then I built Prestigio froyo for with your 3074b kernel, when you can't do it yourself.

---------- Post added at 03:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:22 PM ----------

I agree, too, but I use my rk2818 as calendar with google synchronisation. Works fine.:)

By the way, you have cooked a froyo. What is inside ? Could you describe bit more. I see in the name that you us a bq kernel.
