THIS IS A DMA WIFI HERO BUILD:
Thanks goto addisu and dzo for getting a working Wifi module and all the hard working developers who get Android ported to the various devices.
Thanks to JAC for making the base rom (JACHeroski1.6)
This pack was tested and worked before uploading!
Directions:
0) If you have a data.img delete it first!
1) Copy all files from "Required" to the root of your memory card. I recommend at-least a 512mb.
2) Launch haret and click "Run"
2.1) You will need to wait for the data.img (data store) to be created, this takes around 2 minutes. This stores your files.
3) It takes sometime to get to the setup screen. If the screen turns off, just turn it back on. It will come up.
4) Go through the intro of Android (you only do this once)
The first 3 steps get you into Android
The following gets you Wifi (Kaiser/Tilt only)
* In this build, you can now select your WiFi in the setup.
In side Android:
1) Bring the menu up
2) Goto settings
3) Go to Settings -> Wireless Controls then click "Wi-fi" wait until there is a check
4) Select your network under Wi-Fi Settings
6) Make sure you save your "calibration" file and keep a copy of it save so you can just move it to future builds.
House cleaning:
I did not develop any of this kit, I simply put the pieces together and made them available in an easy to use package.
If you need any help please leave a comment in the forum!
To setup APN you must configure it, this can be found on the Android Vogue Wiki( http://code.google.com/p/vogue-android/wikii/HowToInstall )

Do we really need another thread for this? Why can't we just get Newbie to clean up his first post in the other thread? Seems kinda redundant...

Well, the previous one is not for strictly a build, its more for the wikis and stuff. This thread is strictly for downloading a complete package.

cool, I'll bite!
Trying to follow the steps when i type "su"
i get "uid 10027 not allowed to su" , I did a search for this phrase and the only hit i got was the same error, but person asking was ignored.
Any ideas on how to get around this?
I'm running on a Tilt.
Thanks !!

Excellent, any mirror not from rapid or mega?, my network has the storage web filter , a FTP mirror will be great!
Thanks in advance,

So the hero zip file is a rom? and if so can you flash it to a kaiser ?

keep it up...
if its like HTC HERO, it would be nice

Thanks natalic, it works.
Some additional points:
1) Ensure you're getting the file from the rapidshare link. I tried the latest build from the project site (android-1.5-2009-08-04.zip) and I never managed to extract the calibration file
2) There's a hero build here (http://drop.io/calibrationfiles) but I would suggest to get the calibration file out 1st before trying the hero build. It seems that you wont be able to access the terminal easily from Hero builds... (Maybe it's just me)
What works and not in the Android build (non-hero):-
1) Browser works
2) Market works
3) Google Sync works
4) Google maps does not work

yes it is, android is starting to need a forum all to itself, or you can look at it like this if the android threads are builds from diff "android chefs" then it would be no different than multiple rom threads for diff chefs or diff wm versions.

Heres my working repack. Enjoy

Wifi is working great, Tested on an AT&T tilt with no SIM card inserted. Was able to connect to the internet, download from the market, etc.

How do I get SIM to work and get the phone signal?

Same goes here.
I am now using HERO UI with a calibration file extracted from the standard build. Apps are not being downloaded... Google maps also not working... (Always Force Close)
Paradox: You forgot to mention about rebooting the phone after running getrom.txt as per your instruction in the zip file.

Is it reasonably responsive on your kaiser? I tried one build of it today, and it was awful. I mean all the features are cool, but no amount of features can replace responsivness...

The Hero UI works. Its just not that fast. I can vouch for that. I dont know how he has wifi working on it. I could have sworn the driver had to be cooked into the system.img

g1 with open gl 2 (es) ?

hi!
is it possible to install open gl 2 on g1 devices?
i have found only this .jar ?
http://code.google.com/p/gl2-android/downloads/list

It would be revolutionary if it becomes possible.....we would be able to play so many games smoothly which we cant play now...
and would be able to use SPB shell 5.0 on G1....
and what not.....

I think I read somewhere that the hardware on the G1 does not support Open GL 2 but hey, who knows, *they* said we couldn't get honeycomb on our devices and look what happened I hope progress can be made with this..
EDIT: wow, support is old...

OpenGL 2 ES adds shaders. I don't think the Qualcomm chip in our G1's can do that. For those who don't understand, think pixel shaders in Direct X. I doubt that the MSM7201A was that advanced.
I'm happy roms now come with OpenGL 1.1.

Hi.
Hmm..okay! i need this for a game.
Does anyone know the Dungeon Defender App? Sure
one could perhaps avoid the OpenGL2 thing? Would like to test the game ...
But it does not start because there is no OpenGL2 (error) :/
Would run the game on the new LG p990 (optimus speed) ? is this good devices?

heh you could change your build.prop to fool the game into thinking you have open GL2 although i don't know if it would work. Theoretically, it would, as you could change your opengl version from 1.0 to 1.1.

How can you upgrade from opengl 1.0 to opengl 1.1?
Do I need to copy any library files and change any conf files?

good point..
But assuming the game does not require shaders, Find some other build in the tegra section (or at least I think xda has the section) or some device that supports open gl 2.0, download the rom, then open the zip file and then navigate to /system/build.prop, then search for a line that contains the words 'gles' and then has some numbers after it. Copy/remember the number. Then copy the number you just found to the build.prop of the rom you are using now via astro file manager or something and find the same line with the words 'gles' and then delete the old number and replace the new number with it.

That's an awful lot of trouble to go thru. Currently the default value in most of our builds is 65536. In hex that's 0x10000. If you want to set it to GLES 1.1, change it to (0x10001) 65537. If you want to set it to 2.0 change it to (0x20000) 131072.

Ok I'll try both suggestions. Thanks!
But is it just it? Don't I also need to copy any library files? Upgrade the ones I already have to their newer versions (1.1 or 2.0) besides the change in build.prop?

Of course you also need the 1.1 libraries.

Well I updated the build.prop as proposed and also copied the updated libGLES_qcom.so file to /system/lib/egl overwriting the old one.
Is that all? Are there any other files that need updating? The device booted up fine, however it still shows version OpenGL ES - CM 1.0 in logcat.

There are some roms that come with OpenGL 1.1, if you don't mind flashing and wiping your phone.

CUBE U9GT2 Android 4.0.3 Mods

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
Mods by wackym:

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!

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,

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?

i love having more internal memory ill flash this when i get a chance and let you know what i think!
good job!

Not bad so far, looking forward to more improvements
This is the unit I am working on, it does not fall within the serial number range listed for Doc Hoppy's ROM and since this and the others I found are based on his I wasn't sure it would work. But its working fine so far.
Nextbook 7Premium, ID: S7JNEXT7P, Model: NEXT 7P, Serial #: Y121106... So far its running with no problems.
I was able to Root the device using SuperOneClic Version 2.3.1 (earlier versions did not work) and it worked the very first time I ran it.
Next I copied this ROM ( [ROM] Nextbook 7P [dw] Rom v0.1 ICSBootAnim Debloated & Rooted 1/14/12 ) onto my internal SD Card and named it “ update “ with nothing after it, it will be read as a .img file so there is no need to place .img after the name “ update “. I restarted the device and it read the image without any problems and I was able to update to / install this ROM. Afterwards I did a factory reset which is always a good idea after installing a new update or ROM.
There are more apps included than are listed. Here is everything:
*It does have the ICS Colorful Boot Animation
ACalendar
Advanced Task Killer
Applanet Market (and it works)

Noob questions:
Not sure if it belongs in this form.
I have the same serial number range as you YF1211.
My question is how do i backup the current rom in case i blow it up?
None of the updates on the nextbook site has our serial number range.
I also sent nextbook support an email about not having a lock pattern capability and the responded quickly and said my O/S version is newer and didn't have it. Really?
Thanks for any help in advance.

I installed Go locker from the android marker and it has the pattern lock works great.

Again thanks for all the hard work. I have a few requests. first since we cant change the Adhoc ( using wifi from another android device) on the fly with out RW access can you please add the ability to connect to adhoc wifi in the next build? Also i love google currents app but we cant use is on our device because we don't have map's installed. can that be added as well?

Titanium will do most of that for you. It will save wifi, apps and all that so when you load a new rom it will be close to the same in a matter of minutes!

p.s. Upload it and PM me the link so i can see if it works on my yf1011 LOL

nextbook 7
I have a question. are any of these roms going to work on a tablet with 0911 for serial? People are saying the roms work with 1011 and 1211, but what about something as old as mine? Also, has anyone had any luck getting a bluetooth dongle to work with their nextbooks? That is the only thing that really bugs me, no way to connect to any device except the computer.

search the threads i want to say there was someone out there with a 0911 that flashed a custom rom and everything worked but im not sure. the ones as old as 0511 have been known to have issues such as loss of soft buttons and wifi force closes. as for blue tooth you will probably never be able to connect not matter the rom, even with a dongle these tablets dont seem to have the hardware to enable usb functions other then usb sync and such. cant remember for sure but i dont think you can even charge these through the usb, someone correct me if im wrong on that.
************just checked doc hoppy's thread - here you go!
For those with a yf0911 SN#
Try this Rom. it is a test version of hoppyrom for that serial number. If it boots and works ok, I will make a fully rooted version and post.

Motorola Stock Apps

Hi,
does anyone know where i can get a Full Package of the Original Honeycomb Motorola Stock Apps? Just have a Xoom from a friend here, Flashed ICS from Team Eos, and now he anxious want's the Original Motorola Apps again.
Especially he Stock Filemanager.
Can i download them from anywhere? Or have i to flash back to HC, and backup the apps? If yes, does it work with Titaniumbackup?
So that i can get the clean install-apk's, not the orginial which are integrated into the system?
thanks in advance

Cant help you sorry. But would also like the default File Manager back for posterity. Apparently it is only the non US model that actually cam with the file manager in Honeycomb 3.2 update. US versions never had it and everyone will tell you to download a file manager from the market!! But the stock one was very simple and intuitive so I like it and want it back too.

Hey guys!
I managed to get the file manager that came in the Honeycomb stock motorola, ROM, but I can not install!
I've tried putting the file directly in the "app", I changed the permissions for all possible combinations, and nothing... I've been researching and I think the problem is that such "android manifest" it determines the sdk to target 11 and the ICS is 15 .. but can not edit the xml. I'll leave the apk here, if someone can help: http ://dl. dropbox. com/u/28574144/FileManager. apk

I liked it too, because it was simple. But I then realised it was not tablet optimised, so much slower to navigate.

miss stock apps too

Not sure if anyone would be still interested in this but I got the stock File Manager back!
I've "reseted" my xoom back to 3.0.1 version. The File Manager apk provided wouldn't work but after an update to 3.1 version that nice stock File Manager apk just showed up automatically. No need for apk installation or anything.
Anyway thanks buddy for providing this link!
