Hi everyone!
Since most of us are not satisfied with recent CUBE's U9GT2 Android 4.0 build,(s) I/we created mods based on U9GT2 official builds and in the process also fixed some faults

Difference from V2 released on 2012-02-20:
- USB Mass Storage is working!
- you can now move apps to internal flash space (internal "SD")
- added videochat libraries (might fix videochat issues)
- fixed RW permissions for external SD, usb flash
- added permissions to enable more market apps (thanks Reichi!)
- updated ICS apps
- newer base files from CUBE
Notes, bugs:
If you're still running Android 2.3 and thinking about switching to latest (ICS) version then you should be aware of these (major) changes/bugs cube introduced in ICS:
- application screen size is reduced - bottom status bar is visible most of the time (but also hides in ICS aware apps)
- you need to disable USB debug mode to be able to access filesystem on U9GT2
-MTP/PTP is slow and unstable -> but now mass storage is back!
- Bluetooth still doesn't work (unchecked for 1.08)
- Video chat doesn't work (unchecked for 1.08)
Enjoy!

Official CUBE U9GT2 Android 4.0.1:
Short demo of CUBE's official 4.0.3 version:
Thank you so much
This is based on the leaked (beta) V1.05, right?
You're welcome.
This mod is based on version 1.05 released 2011.12.29. I know there were also two leaked betas before it (12/12 and 12/22) but I do not know if this one is also a beta as download from official 51cube.com site is still unavailable...
Thanks for the info

I believe the official V1.05 was never available, so I am GUESSING this one is also "just" a beta version
Let's hope Cube will make their download available soon, maybe we'll see some differences in the fw?
Anyway, GREAT JOB, thank you so much for your work
Thx will try it out right away
Hi,
really great work - many thanks for this! Could you please post a step-by-step guide explaining what you have done to get this image rooted? Linux Tools for doing this are in place. Is it just enough to include the su binary into the image?
Thanks in advance,

I used RK29xxImageTools kindly provided by wendal: www[dot]slatedroid[dot]com/topic/19808-rk29xx-imagetools-v21/ (sorry about the bad url - still few posts short to write proper urls...forum rules)
Steps:
1. Downloaded U9GT2 v4.0.3 20111229.img, gapps-ics-20111125-2 (google apps for ICS from cyanogenmod), Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed, file expert apk
2. Unpacked img with rk image tools
3. Started virtual machine with ubuntu, mounted system.img as EXT3 loop device
4. Removed su from /xbin
5. Removed angry birds etc. from /app, also removed all libs from those apks in /lib folder. I did this to gain necessary space for google apps without resizing the actual img.
6. Added/replaced google apps apks
7. Removed provision.apk which conflicted with SetupWizzard
8. Added Superuser.apk to /app
9. Copied proper su to /bin; added proper file permissions (rws-rx-rx) - this is very important for root to work.
10. Edited /build.prop: added "ro.config.hw_hasbootsound=false" to silence the boot sound (which was terribly annoying me ) and changed wpa supplicant scan interval from 15 to 180s (this probably saves some battery but annoys people with bad signals...but you can change the scan interval "post mortem" with ROM Toolbox...see "build.prop tweaks").
10. unmounted system.img
11. Used "pack" option in rkimagetools
I think this covers it all...
Hello,
Thank you for this great job, I've updated my U9GT2 with your firmware, it works well ! that's really great from you, thank you for that.
I have two questions thought :
- I tried to install Google Maps and Google Docs with the apk, but I have then some conflicts with my google accounts... I cannot use the apps.
Do you think it will work properly if I create my own system image with Maps and Docs apk included ?
- I found your scripts on your other topics, I will test it : I'm currently installing Ubuntu but can you tell me which file I have to modify so as to change the tablet name, "CUBE U9GT2" ?
Thank you very much ! Have a nice day

If it doesn't work now, putting those files to system.img won't change it... Which Maps and Docs apks did you use? They need to be ICS version... Try google maps from gapps-ics-20111125-2.zip pack (see: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1356228

To change the name you need to edit build.prop file. But be warned! It is very easy to brick your device...so read extensively about android modding before testing the mod on your device (or anyone else's)...
Good luck!
Firmware flash fails
Hello,
I can't flash this one. It fails at the end of the verify.

Thank god!

UPDATE: Didn't read the instructions good enough. Did an upgrade... Restore works great! Sorry!

I am trying to follow your steps, and I have a question : which command line did you use for step 3 ("3. Started virtual machine with ubuntu, mounted system.img as EXT3 loop device
") ?
Thank you !

The 4.0.3 firmware is GREAT except that Adobe Flash Player does not seem to work with Opera Mobile. However, Flash does load really slowly in the stock browser though and the image quality is really bad.
To get Opera Mobile working with Flash, I tried removing Flash and Opera Mobile, then installing Flash then Opera Mobile from Android Market, but nothing works. Any ideas?
I also notice that adhoc WiFi is not supported.
Can anyone configure static IP addresses for each WiFi profile? I would like to do so without relying on 3rd part apps.
Thanks!
Alriiiiiight I did it !! Thank you man, you've been a great help ! It took me quite a long time, but I'm really happy
I just have some auxiliary questions :
- do you know how to change the disposal of the apps on the first start ? Which apps appear on which screen, and their layout ?
- do you know how to change the default background ?
I've checked this topic, but it's not very clear... I can't find more info ! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=748095
Thank you very much, have a nice day !

Thank's for this great rom
It's working nearly perfect for me, but would it possible, to get an improved build.prop? (or all whats neccessary to fix market problems..best example is the missing facebook app or the boat browser)
I tried some differnt changes while comparing your build.prop an the one from an ASOP Samsung Galaxy Nexus Rom (also android ics 4.0.3) but I havn't the desired profit(still no changes).
thanks in advance,
greetings

Yes, that would be great ! I'm also trying to do that, but I do not manage to do it...
And I'm also trying to modifiy the "splash" screen, but I cannot find any "initlogo.rle" file on the boot.img, and even more, whenever I unpack, edit, and re-pack the boot.img file with unpack-bootimg.pl and repack-bootimg.pl (when I try to add my own initlogo.rle, for instance) the tablet does not start anymore...
Any idea of how to do it ? You would be awesome
Thank you !
well i found something other^^... would it be possible to get this (Amzon Silk Browser) includet in the next release? or is there maybe a workaround how to get it work with our ics verison?
greetings from germany

framework does not seems to work with new Vending.apk app..
i tested it fine with old vending apk, and at last moment installed new Vending apk and now it crashes.
Cool, wait until you upload a revised version.
Hi Dexter,
Do yu think it's possible to use TitaniumBackup Backup(Program and system) from 1.2 to réinstall program and system on these 0.3?
Thanks
Stéph.
Ive installed the "crashing" version...
now I wait for the new release...
but...
it's possible to have some some more languages (i.e. Italian )
Ive force close with contact app...maybe a new market related issue...
I cant set my own wallpaper...ther is a way to do that please?
btw great rom! maybe better than foliomod! I really like the new interface!
ps. no screen lock. Ihave to set it somewhere?

apps yes, but generic settings for the specific edition no..
as this has other framework + different launcher, some settings differ.
but try and find out, you probably find some apps crashing, but then try uninstalling and reinstall.. never tried it.

thx!
First experience (except for my small marketapp problem)
is , that it download/install faster... and lagging seems less here?
Of course post experience compared to my Toshiba edition, so we know if its worth using or just maybe, the fact that our Toshiba edition is actually is quite good..
Seriously I love it, it's running perfectly great:
-notification bar and setting are just awesome..
-wifi working great for me
-memory usage is good
-battery and standby I'll check tomorrow after night testing
-SDCard works great even with toshiba file manager (used titanium backup to install back my apps)
-new home also great but less responsive
-launcherpro or adw.launcher both works great but "setting" doesn't work since it's using new setting app
-Browser and mail client looks great
Still some bugs:
-No 360° rotation - Sorry 360° works great but doesn't work with home default launcher
-Only english (us & uk), more local 2 don't change a lot
-Taskmanager doesn't work
well this is my feedback after few minutes testing
again Dexter a great work, thanks
PS/ Happy Holidays for all

you must be doing something wrong, i got like 15 languages selectable, and even more, when i type my national code as explained in readme.txt .
so check again.. many lang's works fine on this one, just using morelocale2
Hi all,
thanks for this new mod Dexter, but I've some questions :
- With morelocale2, I've change the langage to french, but I've always a QWERTY keyboard, any idea ?
- The mail app don't sync my email with hotmail in exchange, do you know why ?
I like this mod, you're doing a very good work, all my respect
Cheers

THIS ROM MAKES THIS PAD ROCK NOW
For now its back to using IUW to do either one of the versions..
you will also need to have done a U-BOOT-NAND upgrade at some stage.. and need to be showing at least uboot - 0.6.1.5 (587) at bootup at the right hand bottom of our screen.. if you dont have this then you will need to do it..
1: Here's a new link by Smarkies that has a great pictural step by step flash guide

2: This is the new Flashable via SDcard 2.2 v2.1 thanks to vihtor

CONFIRMED #3925 2.2 v2.1 bootable sd install. One step process. Great job!
(for those wondering I have 6.1.5 (559) uboot so any at that or later should be allright)
EDIT: IF you have at least 6.1.5 (559[or higher]) showing on the Infotmic screen when booting you should be able to 1) download the .img file at the link above, 2) burn the .img file to an sd card using win32diskimager (or winhex), and 3) insert the sd card into slot between 2 usb ports while booting to update to 2.2 v2.1.
PS Not only does camera still work clearly for me on 559, camcorder records now.

3: Ramdisk work around
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13974529&postcount=58
read posts from about 55-58 on Smarkies, why it is a good idea to re-flash the ramdisk
other versions if you have no success with the one above....
here's a link to the files you need.. iuw1.1-english
http://www.fileserve.com/file/taD2UBA
plus instructions..
http://www.fileserve.com/file/6Hn9ytR
Use IUW to make a bootable sdcard.. this is first version.. still stable, it is posted for those that dont want to go straight in to flashing a unwrapped image file.. if you use the instructions you should be able to just dump/flash this to your usual bootable sdcard.. stick it in the top slot and it will upgrade to this version.. no usb needed.. (note.. you will still have needed to have upgraded your "u-boot" at some stage... read further down for this..
ROM 2.2 V1_8
http://www.b2cus.com/software/WWE10B_Android_2_2_V1_8_U0M_GT2005.rar
2ND VERSION -
Warning - be slow and sure about what you do here.. you can brick your pad if you burn the wrong files... you have been warned..read the other threads before you do anything.. and have the opened IUW instructions with the pictures if you are unsure...
1st use one of these...

Working and rooted.
I installed #3656 first and skipped the UO file when installing this and everything worked great. I installed the newest UO 0.6.1.5 () too and root seems to work after that too.
What I really like with this release is that swedish language is included (was missing in all updates after 1623) and ofcourse that it's Froyo!
To get Titanium Backup to work you will have to copy your old TitaniumBackup folder from the SD card to the new created when you installed TitaniumBackup, after that TitaniumBackup will find all your backuped apps.
It seems like both Flytouch2 and Flytouch3 are at version #3925, maybe the are compiling new versions for both pads at the same time now, so we can count on a new version when Flytouch3 gets one?

Bugs so far.. will update as the forum grows so that we have a reference page at the front.. saves a lot of reading later if this grows too much..
Please report your bugs and we can get people to work out fix's for you..
1: Ndrive does not work in this version
2: Small amount of people experience has Wifi connection/dropout problems - yet to find a fix..
Also no confirmed tests on Ethernet connections as yet - will confirm once we get some feed back - I am in Singapore airport and wasn't able to use the the Ethernet plugin for net.. so will check it out over the next few days as I will be in different Hotels so can test connections on the road
3: No apps2sd --- hope some one smarts finds a work around.. it would be killer if we could redirect some of the apps to see the SD1
A note on this...
in 2.2 V1.8 the file structure is sdcard local ram storage.... and ... SD1 - sdcard storage.. and SD2 -
in 2.2 V2.1 file structure is Local ram storage... and SDcard 1 and 2
both are locked in to using the local partitions for program storage and program data storage..
Which is a shame as things like ebooks and heavy graphic programs it would be nice to send the storage to SD1 or 2
This is fixed.. look at Smarkies thread for work around..http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074251
4: Synchronization contacts and google calendar - Mixed bag on this one.. some get it some don't...might be a cache thing..
Fix once again provided by Barsuk .. check posts from Capeschae and Barsuk for fix.. they are from posts 121 pg13 - 126 pg 13
5: Paid Market apps - This is because of the China location block from Google more on it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=551929&page=3
there seems to be a fix thanks to Barsuk..
Problems with market. Not all applications are available. Workaround: clear data for Google Services Framwork then force stop it then reboot tablet.]

Yes..I had that problem too..as tried to set a cache Linux as well..had a God arwful time with it..I think it is something to do with how they have setup the drives for the internal ram on the pad..
Hopefully one of the guru's will grab this then work out how we can get real apps2sd..then we will be laughing..

I installed this official Froyo too. It's very, very fast, more than all the different firmware tested from here!
Some remarks/questions:
- The camera is not working anymore, the preview screen shows green or sometime other colors...
- A lot of apps are pre-installed, meaning that it is impossible to update them (Dolphin Browser, Skype, Facebook etc...)
- Is it possible to install Flash Player on it? Will it work? Does anybody tried?
- Is it possible to overclock the Flytouch2 with this rom? Is the kernel overclockable?
Thanks,
Tuc

not able to root
This verision is awesome, having problems rooting it, have tried z4root and universal android root also, anyone have a solution for this. also having problems with market, not showing alot of apps, mostly Chinese and no google navigation
I used UniversalAndroot-1.6.2-beta5. The first time did not work the second time worked.
Hello,
Thank you for answering me. It is true that by dhcp works perfectly, but prefer to solve the problem and leave it in static. Anyway with this solution, I better to work with the epad and already ire sought a way to fix it.
A greeting and thank you
After trying a few flash websites, I noticed that Flash Player is ON BOARD in this Froyo ROM!
But colors are something between colored and black&white...and crash in fullscreen mode.
The colors issue has been fixed on the new Flytouch (512Mb RAM) - the following quotation from Androidtablets.net explains how to proceed:
Flash Player issues RESOLVED - new flash player .apk
I have tested this on my ft2v2 with TCH rom 0419, and it mostly worked! Flash now played with correct colours and almost no lag once buffered. It did however crash when I attempted to go full screen, so not perfect yet. Opera mini and Maxthon Browser use the youtube app for youtube website if you have it installed. This works excelently. Flash worked well on other flash websites, I tried an emag site and it loaded where it would not before.
Here is the new apk: Adobe flash for flytouch3.rar (Thanks koti)
Password: koti
Install:
1) use Root Explorer to rename file \system\app\install-flash-player.apk to .old
2) Reboot Flytouch
3) Install the above .apk
I tried youtube and also some eMag sites.
NOTE: This is now included in Tim's ROMS 3b and 3c.
NJoy!

I tried to find the file \system\app\install-flash-player.apk but it doesn't exist in our 256Mb Flytouch...so I directly installed the new Flash Player from the link above but nothing changed with the Flash videos colors, even after a restart.
Does anyone know how to properly install this new version of Flash Player???!!!
Tuc
I rectified,
Still failing me the wifi. Automatically I hold a more function, but is still cutting. Before I had the firm 3245 and it worked fine. So I'm going to return to this firm.
"Confirmed that it is 2.2
we need one of the guru's to pack it into a bootable sdcard format now.. for the mases.."
That would be good - waiting patiently

Hi there
I have been reading these forums for some time and have finally created my own cooked ROM for these MT6573 / MTK6573 based Chinese Androids that I wanted to share since there doesn't seem to be any here.
This ROM was created from a stock system ROM off a Hero H7300 which I believe should work on all HD7 or T9299 clones.
The ID for the base ROM is 10HX2P.H7300.111125.AD2_3_4_V1.WVGAC_EN.COM_V01_3G.
I don't like to customise things too much (since everyone has their own preferences) so I have just done most of the basics.
NOTE: Only ROMs v1 through v4 are based on the above 2.3.4 ROM.
v5 is based off a newer 2.3.5 ROM provided and modified by Bruno Martin.
Here is a list of what I have done to this ROM:

GPS Region Change
If you are in a different region (most probably are ) you can go to this thread to download a gps.conf for your area:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=953630
Dowload the file you need and then replace it under /system/etc/gps.conf
Having the correct file here makes a huge improvement in the speed of GPS fixes.
ROM v9 Camera Button Fix
In ROM v9 I fixed the camera button to open to camera instead of the phone interface.... Or so I thought.
Unfortunately I missed a file that was overriding the change.
To set the camera button back to camera functionality perform the following steps.
Right click the following link and choose Save As to save it to your computer:
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/37057/Camera/mt6573-kpd.kl
You can either copy this on to your phone and into the folder /system/usr/keylayout by using root explorer and setting the permissions correctly or use the following adb commands to copy it in via USB:
Code:
adb root
adb remount
adb shell cp /system/usr/keylayout/mt6573-kpd.kl /system/usr/keylayout/mt6573-kpd.bak
adb push mt6573-kpd.kl /system/usr/keylayout/mt6573-kpd.kl
You then need to restart your phone for the change to take affect.
Be aware that the camera functionality is activated by a long press of the camera button.
Reversed BACK and MENU buttons
If you have a phone where the BACK and MENU buttons operate around the wrong way then follow these instructions to switch them around.
Right click the following link and choose Save As to save it to your computer:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/37057/qwerty.kl
You can either copy this on to your phone and into the folder /system/usr/keylayout by using root explorer and setting the permissions correctly or use the following adb commands to copy it in via USB:
Code:
adb root
adb remount
adb shell cp /system/usr/keylayout/qwerty.kl /system/usr/keylayout/qwerty.bak
adb push qwerty.kl /system/usr/keylayout/qwerty.kl
You then need to restart your phone for the change to take affect.
Go Launcher and Go Locker
I have installed these two apps since they are my favourite ones and are very customisable and skinnable.
They are installed on the data folder so feel free to replace them with your own preferred launcher/locker.
Just remember not to move the launcher or locker themes to your SD card as they may not work properly after reboot. (especially locker themes)
Build.prop Settings
Currently these are the custom settings I have added to the build.prop
Feel free to alter these yourself to how you prefer by editing /system/build.prop file.
Code:
# fix some app problems
ro.kernel.android.checkjni=0
#enable hardware acceleration
debug.sf.hw=1
#increase dalvik cache
dalvik.vm.heapsize=48m
#Saving jpg at 100% quality

Hero H7300 (HD7/T9299) Cooked ROM by Bunta v9
Installation Guide
DO NOT USE ROM MANAGER WITH THESE PHONES AS IT IS INCOMPATIBLE
1) Download my ROM rename it to update.zip and copy it on to your sdcard under /mnt/sdcard/update.zip
2) Next you will need to install a custom recovery partition to be able to install custom ROMs.
Bruno Martins has provided an excellent guide for flashing these phones which you can follow here:
http://bm-smartphone-reviews.blogspot.com/2011/10/mt65x3-flashing-tutorial.html
He also has his own Custom Recovery Image and ROMs he has developed with custom frameworks you can download from here:
http://www.eten-users.eu/index.php?/topic/21447-hd7-mt6573-support-thread/
Download the recovery image and then follow his flashing tutorial to install that to your phone.
3) Once you have the recovery image installed reboot your phone into recovery mode by holding down the volume up + power key to turn the phone on.
This will then boot into ClockworkMod Recovery.
4) First thing you want to do here is to go into backup and restore and create a backup of your phone that you can restore back to if you don't like my ROM.
5) Once you have a backup you can follow this guide to install the custom ROM.
6) After you install the ROM and restart your phone don't be scared if it sits on a black screen or the boot animation for some time as it's just rebuilding the dalvik cache.
This should take about 5-10 mins on first boot.
(I got nervous my ROM didn't work the first time I booted it )
7) [optional] Update your gps.conf for your local region using the instructions above.
8) [optional] If using ROM v6 or later you can increase your internal memory size by moving the data partition to an ext2 partition on your memory card. This can be done by following these instructions.

You need to install a custom recovery partition to flash these phones successfully.
I have added installation details in the first post along with a link to download a custom recovery partition.
I've also updated my ROM with some new apps so you may want to download again.
Hi there,
Thanks for the post and sharing what you have done.
I've just recently got myself a Chinese Star A3 Android phone which uses the MTK6573 chipset.
Since I've had it I've had to learn a few things... e.g. Rooting phone, removing unwanted Chinese Apps with Titanium Backup, sourcing and installing recovery and general tinkering.
I'm curious to try your ROM however I'm reasonably happy with my current setup (also using GO Launcher) except for one thing; the in-built contacts/dialer/call log application and the way it forces the hyphens in the contact numbers.
I've spent hours trawling websites for a fix but can't see a solution.
Some suggest prefixing country codes to your numbers, changing the locale to UK via an App such as MoreLocale 2, I've even bought the Unhyphenizer app with no luck.
My Google contacts have no hyphens or spaces in the contact numbers however when viewed on the phone they appear as +64 21-111-1111 (mobile) or +64 3-111-1111 (landline).
The issue also affects the call log with outgoing calls displaying name of contact and number with hyphens but incoming calls are displayed differently. E.g. +64 3-111-1111 appears as 31111111 therefore is not matched with any contact.
I've isolated the issue to the actual contacts application because if I install GO Contacts the numbers appear exactly as in Google in both the contacts and call log areas. Go SMS also shows contacts numbers correctly. This isn't a great solution though as I don't particularly like the GO Contacts app.
Does your ROM manifest the same issue? Any ideas how to get around this or alter the existing contacts app to show number without formatting/hyphens?
Thanks in advance
My contacts also show with hyphens.
Most of them do not have country code however so are just 021-123-4567 but the ones with country codes are shown as you say.
I suspect if this issue is gone with GO Contacts then the way they are displayed may be written into the app and unchangeable. Unless there is some system file that sets a configuration for it that may be altered.
I can have a look through the system files in my ROM build to see if something matches. Possibly even editing the Contacts apk directly might be of use... I will have a look around...
Thanks for the reply.
Like you say, perhaps their is a configuration file that can be altered as a large number of people in forums report the issue goes away when they change their locale to UK. Sadly, it makes no difference on my phone.
I look forward to hearing what you find.
Cheers
Hi there, yes I have only downloaded the one 'paid for' app (Unhyphenizer Pro) from the Andoid Market and that worked fine.
All the others I've downloaded have been free apps.
Thanks

The ROM that bunta shared probably has the Market problem... that's why he added Black Market app (Blackmart).
If you have one MT6573 based HD7 Pro, you can visit my support thread. I have released the ROM with Market problem fixed.

I honestly don't know if that bug exists or not as I don't have any paid apps to try it with.
If you try it and find out please let me know if it works or not.
(and no, thats not why I added blackmart)

I set the locale to GB in the build.prop on my ROM so should be using UK locale by default I think and it still shows with hyphens. Not sure if changing that setting in the build.prop gives the same effect as when they set it in their settings though.
One other note, I think I corrupted the apns-conf on my v2 ROM as my data connection did not work with that version. Its working fine in my v1 ROM but I don't know what the multiupload download link is for that one
I will fix that up and make a v3 ROM soon.
Let me know if 3G data is working or not on v2 if you try it.
Still tinkering at the moment. Don't want to swap one problem for another
One thing I found that is worth mentioning is that one of my SIM's is Vodafone the other 2Degrees.
When I called the 2Degrees SIM the leading zero is missing... if I call the Vodafone number the leading zero appears when calling from the same landline. Doesn't explain the hyphens but perhaps some of the number handling is the carrier?
WOW Great !
Thanks man !
I've fixed the problem with the apns-conf.xml file now and mobile data is working fine again.
V3 is in the first post
Thank you for your effort.
However, I tried to my MTK6573 machine and found a funny thing:
My machine has 3 buttons
Home works
Menu has no function
Back becomes "Menu"
Any help for me?
Beside of this problem, I tried few minutes and I think it is much better then the ROM I am using. Just it causes trouble for me if no "Back" button

That is because his phone is H7300 which seems to be different than Tops HD7 3G or HD7 Pro. Visit my support thread and you'll find the correct ROM for your phone.

Yeah, which you haven't done to get the password... and to rip my ideas and create your custom ROMs.
Can you explain me why you have added TeslaLED.CM7.Receiver into your ROM? You don't even know what is the purpose of that app...
I just added it as a part of TeslaLED.
I don't really need it of course since I haven't configured any system apps to toggle the flashlight directly from TeslaLED but it can be uninstalled by anyone.
(In fact it's not really too useful in my ROM anyway so I will remove it from future versions. People can install their own favourite flashlight apps as they want.)
Stop being a baby because someone else has made their own ROM.

Thank you for your information.
I am using a phone called ChangJiang HD7 or THL-S2 - I want to provide a product link but is prevented here, but you may search "THL-S2" via google.
(PS: It is called HD7 too but it should not the one you mean, but very similar)
I tried your ROM (V1) on my phone. Basically it works, just the menu button and the back button are swapped
However, for me it is "overcooked" and the response is not good as bunta's one. I may consider "cook" mine.

How to root MTK6573 ( B63M)
Hi,
Got a phone today
gingerbread 2.3.4 B63M chinese phone
I am not sure if I can install the custom ROM, Newbie here.
But I would definitely like to root it.
Can someone please help me with detailed steps.
Thanks in advance.

IMPORTANT UPDATE 1:
As of yesterday (April 21, 2012), I don't have the ability to update/install or experiment with my phone anymore. All of a sudden after an hour's charge, the screen has seized to function. All I have is a blurry, cloudy black and white screen.
IMPORTANT UPDATE 2:
I've contacted android-sale for a solution; and I have to admit that the guys were very helpful. I was thinking of paying the extra $ for the newest Y5 model; but at this moment (May 22, 2012) is not yet available so I went for the MeizuMX (dual core, 1.4GHz Samsung CPU).
As you can understand, from now on, my rom development for GooApple V.5 comes to an end. Also, I can only provide help from memory regarding this rom. I 'm sorry for any inconvenience this may cause to you.
--------------------------
This thread is dedicated on which is the best rom for GooApple V5; thus it's called Bestrom. It's purpose is to provide the most functional rom available which is able to solve ALL the issues this phone's original roms had. In version 4, I've been based on Von275's (www.anexonel.tk) fine work (version 2.1), tried to make it more stable, eliminate F/C issues and added some bits n pieces here and there. Detailed list follows:
Instructions on how to install it can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21847185&postcount=198
This is a recovery image taken from my phone via Chinese recovery.
What's inside:
01. This is called ''Bestrom v.4'' and it's based on von275's 2.1 custom rom.
02. FAST iOS UI.
03. Working Wifi based location services & GPS.
04. QuickBoot.
05. RootExplorer.
06. RootUninstaller.
07. Gmail & Google Apps preinstalled.
08. Automatically Syncing Calendar and Contacts.
09. SlideIT keyboard & Greek input method.
10. Default locale set to English.
10. Rom is already rooted.
11. MoboPlayer (Best performance Video player for V5)
12. Documents 2 Go.
13. Adobe Flash 11.
14. Dolphin Browser HD.
15. Advanced Task Manager.
16. Removed Smartkeyboard of Von275's rom.
You can download the rom from here:
Bestrom v.4: http://www.mediafire.com/?k635fc2dvnc6emu
Make sure you clear / wipe cache BEFORE restoring. Helps a lot avoiding Force Closing some programs.

I've read that this phone is different from GooApple v5. So, you may have to take a leap of faith. If you decide to install it please report here your issues/experience for others to know.

02. Working Wifi based location services AND GPS (faint signal on my place)
03. QuickBoot
04. RootExplorer
05. RootUninstaller
06. Latest Gingerbread apps: Market, GoogleMaps, Latitude, CarHome, Talk, Navigator etc.
07. Automatically Syncing Calendar and Contacts.
08. Greek Input method (It's a free alternative to the chinese QQ)
09. Default locale set to English (from Chinese)
10. Rom is already rooted.
The rom link is here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?p0c4hec3pko45p6
What's NOT inside: GooglePartnerSetup.apk. It kept killing itself for no apparent reason. Other than that I've decided to keep most of the Chinese apps, just in case any people out there want some of them. You can uninstall any unneeded apps via RootUninstaller which is already inside the rom.

Hi macsga,
can I just load it via the restore option, or do I have to install the gooapple_ios_12.01.14 rom first. I'm still running the gooapple_ios_11.12.29, and restored the bestrom v2.
You just need to restore it. The only drawback I've found out is that an embedded script turns the chinese Clockworkmod back to the official English one; that means you need to reflash the chinese c/w everytime you need to restore any other rom.
Sorry about that.

A small question, does bestrom v3 runs so faster like bestrom v1? Because in v1 the main screen scrolls perfectly and I dont want to change to a slower version.. Great job, and thanks!!

You're welcome! I can tell that v3 runs smoothly. It also has features that v1 didn't (like GPS fix). I'd say you make a backup first and try. If you don't like it you can always revert.
I tried this version. Unfortunately, it has become far worse than the previous one. That's what I have seen:
- Used an older version of iLauncher
- The status bar is not transparent
- A bug with the device going to sleep (if you just press the "Back" button, we have a blank screen)
- Not the correct definition of my ISP provider. (Baikalwestcom instead AKOS-GSM)
- No reaction to the long press "Back" button
- Cached background process - SuperUser in the task manager written in Chinese characters
- The keyboard has only one language - the system language, for a set of English language is necessary to change the whole the device language
PS: 3rd screenshot - the original ROM (Transparent status bar; AKOS-GSM)

I am now using the latest version of anexonel's http://anexonel.webs.com/downloadlinks.htm which is FAR better than my v3 one. So far I find it a perfect choice. Thanks for the comments.
Unfortunately, the firmware "Anexonel's modified chinese rom V2" contains more fatal bugs. Including:
- Slow down scrolling working screens
- The lack of localization (English only): Calendar, LockScreen and more other .apk
- Icons do not remember the position of the place when you restart
- No Icons SuperUser! (Root is)
- Broken Calculator - does not fit the entire series
- Does not stretch application icons. Wafers under the application icons are missing.
- Settings -> General -> SIM Tools = system crash
- Is not correctly working SystemUI.apk (not compatible with FrameWork)
- Wi-Fi - so slow, losing connection, the phone warms
In my opinion, the most stable version of the firmware, it is devoid of most of the problems - GooApple_IOS_12.02.13_ (rom.gooapple.com). zip [148,626,630 bytes]
It was posted on the official site, but a very short time. I personally use it.
A working Wi-Fi, GPS, Settings, SystemUI, very good software of radio module. Excellent localization. Adroid version 2.3.6 (Install to Phone / SD-Card - present)
Of the cons:
- Replaces preloader.img in English! (return via MobileuncleTools.apk, and delete - system\recovery-from-boot.p)
- No Root (helps - GOOPHONE4GS-ROOT-REC-CH)
- Icons do not remember the position of the place when you restart
- Lost the original apple logo (replacement restores "boot_logo" and "bootanimation.zip" is not enough, one has to flash boot.img [6,291,456 bytes]

I'd like to test it, if you like to share it. Please upload it and share the link. If it's like what you're suggesting I'd be more than happy to provide a rom based on this. From my personal experience, official releases never got even near GPS fix / NetworkLocation service; plus they presented A LOT MORE lag.
I had to dig very deep to find a *working* apk for both of these. There's a whole thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21947564&postcount=236 (link provided with my 1st attempt of fixing those issues).
In any case; I can only but respect your opinion and try (if you post the link). Thanks in advance.

Ahoj men! I'm in trouble!
There was chinese recovery at my phone and mayianday rom ver.
But today, after installing manufacture version of rom (the same as AndroVet link GooApple_IOS_12.02.13_) i've got an english recovery as he say but rom don't boot! All I can hear is quiet clicks after gooapple logo and black screen. Only hard reset helps to go in recovery menu.
I have no backup for english reсovery. what to do next? How to revive it? I want it back!

OK, thank you!
Problem solved by reinstalling rom package from english recovery. After that it load os and now I can go back to china rec. Ufff!
Solution consists of one step:
- Flash your old preloader.img with "GOOPHONE4GS-ROOT-REC-CH" software
Decision 2:
- Install MobileuncleTools.apk
- Flash your old recovery.img

this rom is only for S7100B
S7100B Zip's Custom Rom 1.5
the philosophy that underlies this first rom (do not expect miracles) is this:
If Android is not at 100% open, with the modifications of the house JXD, it is certainly less
for that cause this rom came WITHOUT any frills, so that the user choose what to have or not have on your console since the emu (not upgradeable) to app (not removable)
v1.5 changelog
-add theme faenza
-add advance task killer
-add my backup of vtl launcher settings
here is the v1.0 changes:
Based on the last official rom for JXD s7100b
- Removed ALL emulators series (since they could not raise it to update)
- Removed all serial applications to be added jxd (because there people who do not use FB Skype etc.)
- Removed serial launcher (really crappy)
-VTL.Launcher 1.6.5-added info link (ADW launcher launcher based on tablet-oriented
-FileManagerHD-added as a manager (much higher than 2 managers istallabili Series)
-Added superuser.apk
Changed clock font
changhed menu font
and that's it for now ..
The next thing I want to add (2.0) have a different boot animation, add a simple task killer, the theme for whiteware adw (if it works on VTL) default background, and another music video player
and then study how to make a backup of the settings of the launcher so who installs from scratch and restore my rom does not have to configure the home
A special thanks goes to SNESFAN and its forum: http://forum.openhandhelds.net/
Bitrider I create a custom rom for the first Android console,
to the reference point of android modding XDA
Android and the whole community
My community reference point for italian open source console users
www.OPENCONSOLE.it
BRIEF-Up Guide
1) get yourself a micro sd and put the files ZCR1.zip
2) make a backup of everything you need to save, (the new rom is really skinny)
3) Introduce the sd in the console
4) turn on the console by holding the keys POWER + MENU(the last button on the right of the 3 keys Android)
5) Wait and you will find in "bootloader)
6) Optional: make wipe of data/user
7) go to apply update from sd and start pressing the start / select
8) navigate and select ZCR1.zip and start the process
9) if all goes well should start installing the custom rom
10) when the process is finished you reboot system
you will come round to set up a launcher!
do not fear the next version will provide a backup of the settings in order to have everything already set

there is the 1.5 vers + my vtl launcher setting
download 1.5+ setting: http://www.openconsole.it/download/ZCR1_5s7100b.zip

Thank you and a question
First, I want to thank you for the ZCR 1.5 custom rom. It has really been great to have an alternate to the stock firmware. I've been trying to determine how to build my own custom rom for the JXD S7100B, but appear to be missing a step somewhere.
I've constructed a ROM and created the .zip image and then attempted to sign it with signapk.jar with the typical android testkeys. However, every time I attempt to update from sdcard zip file in the recovery menu, I'm greeted with an E:signature not verified error. I've tried to create my own certificates using OpenSSL and sign with those, I've compared the ZCR 1.5 custom rom to the latest firmware update from JXD, I've even tried to simply resign the ZCR1_5.zip image with the testkeys. All attempts have failed. I've scoured the internets for as much information as I can find and I can't see any difference between what I am doing and what I am reading. I've tried executing the signapk.jar under 32-bit XP and under 64-bit Windows 7 just on the off chance that there was a precision discrepancy between the two versions of java.
I'm at a loss and would like to know if you would consider outlining the process you use to sign the .zipped image? Do you use jarsign or signapk or some other tool? Are you signing with something other than the testkey certs?
Thanks,
jkgamer
