NEW Android ICS 5" Tablet/Portable console, the Droid X360

Found on Wololo's blog today, http://www.aliexpress.com/product-f...tendo-Sony-PS1-game-G-sensor-wholesalers.html
Its an tablet/gaming console for 110$ that has amazing specs and actual hardware gaming controlls, dual cameras and all of that android goodiness !
Sure its a chinese ripoff with design taken from the PS Vita and name taken from the XBox360
What do you guys think? I mean it's an android device with great specs for the prize and is made for portable gaming! I'm seriously considering skipping the nexus 7 and buying this instead (want the nexus 7 just because its a nexus device )
oh yeah. its even pre-rooted when you get it

Took the plunge. Just ordered. I'll let you know once it arrives.

sweet! be sure to report back on such as build quality and how well it went when ordering from aliexpress, when i bought something from there once it took about 2 weeks to get it :/

I ordered one as well, the ordering process was easy and they have really quick customer service. Now I just gotta wait for it to show up lol

I ordered mine from Willgoo and I highly recommend them. Excellent customer service and delivered to my door in 4 business days. As for the actual device, initial impressions aren't great. This video review from qbertaddict1 just about sums it up. However I'm still quietly confident that with a bit of work, this can be a great device. Working on figuring out whether the control issue is software, hardware or a combination of both. This things been on my desk in a million pieces all day. More to come...

Droid is a Verizon trademark. Just Saying
Sent from my Verizon Samsung Galaxy S3 4G LTE

I just received mine today (from http://www.wholesaleonepiece.com/dr...lwinner-a10-android-40-ics-8g-hdmi_p4536.html, shipped from China via DHL). this is actually kind of cool. Definitely KiRF - it even came preloaded with a number of ROMs for each of the emulators, which is cool. Also came with come pictures of some random Chinese guy who must have been testing the camera for QC purposes (front and rear cameras both work great). Emulators run pretty well.

are the reviews true that this is worthless for playing games because the controls don't work correctly?

Here's a 4-part review of the system by Wololo: http://wololo.net/2012/08/07/droid-x360-review/

I just got mine this morning. The controls seem to be working fine for me. The analog sticks are a bit stiff but its not that bad. Other than that there is nothing wrong with it.

My SanDisk Ultra 64GB MicroSDXC card works like a champ in my Droid X360. Video playback performance is surprisingly good, as are the stereo speakers. Some of my ABXY buttons rotated(!) after a lot of use, but it was fairly easy to tear it apart and fix.

I read the review by wololo and it seems to be a decent device and an exellent product for being a chinese knockoff and i bet that if more ppl start buying these, we'll see that a talented dev fixes most of the issues, as most of em were software related, atleast I got that impression from wololo

Video Review
Rest assured, a very untalented developer (myself lol) is on the case. I've been developing a script (eventually will be a rom) specifically for this device. Check out the video review here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6G4Ouq7Yj0
Anyone who's interested, the script currently lives here:
http://boards.dingoonity.org/androi...cript-various-tweaks-fixes/msg46443/#msg46443

Just got mine and after spending a few days with the device i gotta say i do like it alot. its replaced my psp (selling) as my portable emulator machine but its definitely got its quirks. Some Emus i kept and some i replaced with market versions. HDMI works awesome! it won't recognize my wired 360 controller using the OTG cable adapter though. if we had a clockworkmod and could flash CM9 i think it would be a pretty solid device. Since they already have CM9 out for the Allwinner A10 CPUs would there be alot more work in porting it over to the DX360???
Crucible, is there anyway to backup my current rom setup now with livesuite?
I know you said (and i saw in the video) your DX360 runs perfectly at 1200mhz (600min), mine almost instantly reboots at anything over 1157mhz(600min), i've tried setCPU and no frills CPU. i've tried different governors and no dice. oh well no use crying over 53mhz just thought i'd let you know.
i obviously have zero developer skills but um i'm down to do whatever i can to help.

Unfortunatly, there is currently no way to use CWM on this device due to the fact that the physical controls are not mapped directly to use the menus within CWM. Yes there has been a lot of work done to port CM9 to Allwinner 10 however I would need to create a custom rom to flash with livesuit rather than the standard method of installing via CWM (for the reason stated above). It's something I plan to look into at some stage.

Yeah cheaper CPUs tend to vary pretty significantly from chip to chip. Its worth keeping in mind when using any cheaper device.

Best thing you could do then is try out my script and report back with any bugs. However be aware that you will need to wipe and restore your device as part of the process.

Hi Crucible,
thank you for your efforts!
I'm using your mod and found a strange thing.
In some games that use the accelerometer in landscape mode (Asfalt 5, Labirinth ) the axes are switched so that up is left, right is down and so on.
Before the superscript Asfalt was playing correctly if I remember well so I think there is something to be set to adjust the accelerometer.
Do you know how to fix this?

Why not do CWM Touch? Or 4EXT? TWRP? Any touch recovery?

Hi all,
I was trying the no frills CPU and just se to once to 1200mhz (60min).
After I have just started a game and It froze with blank screen.
I turned the console off and on again and since then I never restarted.
I just have the little green Android robot in the center of the screen
I have tried re-flashing, it flash correctly but once done it reboot on the same screen with the little green Android robot forever.
What can I try?

I have never used no frills cpu, but I would assume it works the same as setcpu in that it doesn't modify hardware, therefore after a hard reset or firmware flash, the device should revert back to normal. Are you sure you flashed firmware correctly?

360 wired controller not working on ICS

It's not a phone-question, but since the OS is pretty much the same, I assume, I'll ask anyway...
I read that the original wired Xbox 360 controller should work plug-and-play with Android ICS. I have a Cherry M-1007 tablet with Android ICS on it, yet, if I plug in the controller (in the fullsized USB-port), it starts blinking, so it does get power, but it does nothing else.
Is there any known way to get this controller working on tablets where it's not supported natively? I bought it specifically to use with Snesoid/Supergnes on my tablet, and there are lots of tablets where it DOES work plug -and-play.Just not on mine, of course
Could it make ANY difference at all if I plug it into the smaller USB-port with an adapter? My keyboard works fine on the tablet, and that plugs into the smaller USB...
Or is there any app I can use to make it work? Preferably a free one, since I don't have a creditcard, so even if an app is just € 0,01, I can't buy it without going through a big hassle...
Please help

100 views and nobody has an idea in which direction I should be looking? That makes me sad

Seriously, nobody has ANY idea whatsoever?

Very few use it this way it seems. The issue most likely is a kernel issue. Something may not be enabled in your devices kernel. Other then that I have no idea.

That really is too bad The people at the official Cherry forums are ignoring my question as it is, so I guess I have a wired controller for nothing now Good thing I do have an Xbox so on some rare occassion I might have some use for a second controller, but I'm still very bummed about this I was so looking forward to playing my old SNES favourites when on holiday...
Thanks If anybody has gotten this to work or has some kind of clue, I'm still open to suggestions

[Q] is this the tab for me?

I have a slightly odd list of needs from an android tab and was wondering if the tf700 will meet them;
line in recording of audio
usb for cat5 adapter https://sites.google.com/site/bobjgear/USB-Aapter
optionof decent keyboard dock
rootable
decent screen and manufactor rom updates
im interested in the cat5 especially as i cant use wifi at work, sadly so my options are limited...
thanks for your help and feedback, hows this tab without the keyboard?
cheers, andy

The screen is matched only by the Retina display. Best Android screen on the market. We've had 4 or 5 updates so far, including JB as one of the first non-Google companies.

I have some friends that work for the government and their in the same boat as you. They aren't even allowed to use wireless when their traveling and it's available.

Thanks for this, sounds good. Only thing left to work out is line in then i guess, if someone could test this for me it would be really helpful. Its the last piece of the puzzle i think.
One other question, i take it the only "pairing" the tablet does with the keyboard is just being plugged in? The reason i ask is that if i buy a couple of tablets and keyboards (me and the mrs) can we just swap the keyboards round without any pairing faff?

As far as I know, you can interchange the docks. There's a driver for it installed in Android from the start. There's no personalized settings or anything stored in the dock itself. Plug and Play.

If you are located outside the US in Europe this would be your answer.
If you're a US user then your stuck with the complex USB adapter scenario it seems.

perfect, that actually looks just what im after, simple easy and with cat5 in built. shame it doesnt have line in then it really would be ideal!
edit: just need to find someone that will actually supply it to me now!

Recommend app for android stick.

I recently got the mk908ii, so far it's been working out great. Very fast. Wi-Fi is very strong, but the antenna seems kind of fragile(accidentally turned it wrong way and heard a crack). Does anyone have recommendations for any new apps I can use?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 4

I have had a mk808b for about a week now, these are my must have apps:
-full!screen: for hiding the navigation bar that was there even on "fullscreen" movie playback. I set a pie control for my right upper display corner that now totally replaces the navigation bar. This is actually the most usefull app i found.
-External Keyboard Helper: for starting apps directly with the push of a button on my wireless keyboard (Measy RC12)
-Screen Adjuster: In case you don't want to change the brightness/color settings of your tv
-XBMC (v 13 gotham alpha 1 works quite well for me, if you can live without hardware decoding, the stable v 12.2 (frodo) build would propably be better) + Plugins (1channel, icefilms etc...)
-MX Player: probably better playback of HD content than XBMC

What build are you using? I tried so many different ones. The first 6 alphas with hwaccel and 2 nightlys from last week, but alpha 1 was the only one where youtube worked. All others showed a network connection error. I just finished downloading the alpha 7 from yesterday. I am going to test it now...

Don't use any of the specific alpha builds, because now ALL nightlies have libsf! I would first try the latest nightly and go from there!
I find that ALL of the XAF builds fail on my MK908. So I gave up on that thread.
Hmm, my MK908 isn't actually plugged in right now and I have to go do some work. But just try the LATEST android nightly build and if that doesn't work ask again and I'll hook up and tell you which build I'm actually using.

OK, I just hooked up my MK908... still waiting for my tronsmart airmouse from geekbuying so I haven't been messing with it recently
WTF, why isn't full!screen working? XBMC isn't starting fullscreen for no apparent reason. And I am getting errors I've never seen before from XBMC about "Failed to start commoncache"
Looks like my MK908 has developed some kind of problem while I wasn't using it. That's a real mark of quality hardware.
I don't think I will ever buy another android stick PC at this rate. So far I have tried two rikos and one tronsmart and they are all crap. It's too bad nobody mades any Android PC which is not crap. I guess there's some that are kind of OK but they are more expensive than an AMD nettop! WTF. This is why my MK908 wasn't even plugged in. I sure hope Pi****u supports this chip soon.

Well, I'm not going to be able to give you any useful information, you probably already know that Google is unresponsive to bugs and that XBMC doesn't run very well on Android. I guess I will have to re-flash my MK908. Maybe I'll try just restoring a backup.
What garbage.

That's exactly the porblem i have with all XBMC builds after Alpha 1 (besides the non-functional youtube addon, but i guess thats related because youtube needs the commoncache plugin). But all other plugins work fine, so its not that bad .
If you decide to reflash let me know if it resolves the issue for you.

LG has resolved the power issue, so it should. Recall that the N4 was released as USB OTG, but had to be backtracked when it was discovered there was no power. Fortunately,,cable and kernel tweaks by devs worked around the issue.

YAAAAY!!!

Looks like it should from the various log file leaks etc. My main reservation will be the ability to get ethernet working OTG like with the N7. Got this working with my Note2 after building the kernel modules myself - hopefully the N5 will be precompiled, or easy to create too.

Most Android phones at the moment support it so it would be weird if the N5 didn't support it

maybe for making it cheap xD

If the service manual that was leaked is accurate, the hardware will support USB OTG. There are a bunch of references in the manual (the Qualcomm power management IC has a VOUT_5VS_OTG output, a block diagram for the charging/USB area shows +5V0_OTG_OVP (over voltage protection), and there is a OTG enable line listed (OTG_EN)).
I didn't realize the N4 didn't support OTG (without a bit of a work around) until I came across this thread and did some reading about it.

That is a nifty device. I was going to sell my 64GB uSD card with my Note2 after I get the Nexus 5, but maybe I will hang on to it and get one those uSD adapters. It would be much easier to carry that uSD adapter with a 64GB card inside instead of an OTG cable and a thumb drive.
Matt

If the N5 is even loosely based on the LG G2 it will have USB OTG host. My G2 natively mounts mass storage devices via USB OTG.
Does any one have a link to a mirror of the N5 service manual?
