Very necro update March 2021:
All versions of this ROM are now stored on my personal site and can be found here:
Ainol Novo 8 Advanced Firmware Downloads
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
A long time coming but Release 4.0 is now here
Site Link:NebularNerd.com
To save keep opening new threads I shall now just update this one to reflect the latest release. The main reason for the delay was waiting to find a firmware to base it on that offered something more than just a minor update.
To keep things short and sweet the full Readme will now be kept on a separate page on my blog Click Here and a plain text copy is in the download. Check out the Change log/What's New below then get your download and enjoy. Screen shots after the download links.
Posts #70 onwards for support on this release
Change log/What's New:
Key: + New # Updated > Information ! Important - Removed
07/04/2012 Version 4.0
+ Newer base firmware based on cheeyee and tomx2h releases.
! English only release, Multi Language may follow
! Google Maps will Force Close if you have no active Wifi or Data connection, this is the way the app works and not a bug.
- Flash and Skype removed as they only semi worked. You can install these from the market.
+ Modified Google Play Store gives the best results yet. Still not perfect but improves on last firmware.
! Play Store must not be updated, auto updater removed to prevent this. Any updates will remove the modded version.
+ build.prop altered with HTC Flyer data (closest match to our tablet) again results have improved in the Market.
# All included Google Apps, Facebook and Dolphin are latest versions as of compliling the Firmware
- Root explorer because it would still give Chinese menus, ES File Manager is just as good when given root access rights.
+ New Statusbar icons for Home, Menu, Up, Down and Back (See screenshots)
# The wallpaper app that was in Chinese I have converted to English, look for 'ICS Wallpapers'
- Separate Latitude.apk (now comes with Maps) and Car Home (Too small for our screens)
> For UK users iPlayer and latest Flash seem to play Medium quality streams without any problems, High quality is broken in iPlayer by the looks of it as setting it makes no difference over Medium.

amazing job.
i assume power off and sudden power on screen is not fixed yet because of hardware bug?
Will try and give my cents later today. THANKS , great job.
Thanks, great job!!!!
One question
have you fixed the power off bug
Huawei e220 and bluetooth
Hello. First of all, congratulations for the nice work!
I´m wondering if anyone managed to make Huawei e220 modem work on this rom. If so, please send the instructions.
Another thing that would be important on further updates is to make bluetooth hardware work on our Novo8 or also a external dongle.
Bye!

theres a workaround.. you need the "screen off timer" to 15secs.
Make it sleep. power on normally. immediately upon you unlock the screen, poweroff like you normally do. it works most of the times like that for me.

Bluetooth would be great

I am looking into the whole Bluetooth thing as it's something I would quite like to have running as well, on some of the other forums there is some Bluetooth stuff being worked on so I need to look and see what that is about and if I can use it.
Huawei e220 IS working!!!
Hehe, something is def. done with the power control. i can "easily" power it off now when the powercord is plugged in. But it immediately starts up again.
power off works and stays off without power cord. plug cord in and it powers on.
first cents.
thanks for fb, and dolphin! Why not make ES FileExplorer standard too?
Trying not to bloat the rom, and new base firmware

I left ES out as it can be downloaded from the market, while it is my preferred file manager other may want something else so I'm trying to not overload the rom. To most people having the stock File Explorer and Root Explorer is likely enough. Facebook, Dolphin and Skype were added because like some of the Google apps they cannot be had off the market but are near enough essential to daily tablet usage.
*** NEWS FLASH ***
I have just managed to download the latest beta from the Chinese sites, took a while to work out how to do get it off their chosen download host, need to add learning Chinese to my todo list
I shall start playing with this new firmware and see how it behaves, who knows what that will bring us.
*** NEWS FLASH ***
Ok, so yesterday while falling asleep i looked at latest topgear.
New in this rom, is that every five ten minutes, the "power off" dialog pops up.
Any idea how come? Also while playing games it pops up every now and then now. didnt in the earlier rom.
Also , when i started skype it said "Skype must be reinstalled" and i was never able to log in.
Exciting about new beta! Crazy stuff.

V2 install yesterday, and today I learned that in China have released a new version.
It has some bugs that you've fixed in V2, so I think you can pick your version of china and improve it.
I encourage you.
Thank you very much for making us enjoy both.
Feedback
A little feedback ROMs:
concerns:
First, after installing programs, I'm having problems ("com.androi.settings process stopped") to access Settings-App Manager. The same happens with the time zone setting. I tried reinstalling, but it continues going after the installation of any problem.
I am also having problems with skype ("resinstall skype").
Another question is about the graphics processing. Although our tablet has enough technology, games like Spiderman and Real footbal run without the proper rendering.
I think that ultimately, the ROM should not come with installed applications, it can easily be found through the Aptoide.
Moreover, the ROM is good, with few delays in Appmenu and tablet features working except bluetooth, but this is a problem of its own original ROM and still no solution proposed.
Keep the good work!
The ChinaDigital-mirror is broken (get a 44MB file every time).
Replies to all,
Regarding Skype issues, is this cropping up as soon as you are running Skype or after name and password entry. I do not have a Skype account so could not fully test, I shall add it onto the fix list for the next version.
naguz:
Thaks for the heads up I shall get onto rikeys and see what's doing. I should have another Mirror or two coming up any time soon.
daniel.eriksson:
The Power dialog is a weird on, everytime I flash it appears either more or less than before, hopefully the new beta has some fixes.
educuritiba:
Are you trying to change to another language? I've not ran into issues with Settings myself and did try changing languages around before release, if not please let me know what it is you are doing that leads to the FC.
App bundling is a tricky one to win, while those of us more skilled in the ways of the internet and things we can easily grab an apk to stick on, not everyone can or they prefer a all-in-one flash and be done solution. I'm not looking to stick anything on that can be had off the market and equally nothing that is not free for but things like Skype, Facebook and Dolphin are what I consider for most people must haves. Maybe for the next release I will bundle a working set of .apk's for people to install post flash.
Oberth, you are right. Those problems in settings only happen when the language is not english ( I am trying portuguese br).
Keep the good working in the next releases!!!
Bye
Yesterday I install the latest version to come out of China and is a wonder. Very stable and if no delay. The problem is that in Chinese and English is not complete. Would be nice if the Chinese were also multilingual and that all people around the world have this tablet. Bad for them.
I think that you would work with this version because it goes very very well.
I leave the link:
http://bbs.imp3.net/thread-10500965-1-1.html
Thank you for your work from Spain.
hi, the rom is very good!
i change only the task bar to a another smaller.
a question:
what resolution u use?
how row and coluns in launcher u use?
to assist videos in 1080p, u use a standart video player or a mx video?
in the mx 1080p movies are slow, same in S/W fast.

Taskbar changes on the todo list

Hi Tobituba, Resolution is set at 160dpi which is 1280x768 (what the screen is) at 160dpi the Launcher gives 6 columns by 7 rows in the app screen. Video playback is just through the stock player using HW Decode where it can no other software required. If you're using MX you need to make sure you have the Arm 7 Codecs as well and make sure it tries to use HW where possible. Not tried it heavily as the stock player is pretty good now.
Well that looks shiny

Downloading now, that does look very nice and appears to be based on the latest beta, very interesting about the Flash 11 integration wonder if the performance issues have been fixed in this rom? Well lets see what I can do with it . . .
I'm developer of GMD GestureControl:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1535740
I got feedback that TF700T received firmware update recently and application stopped working. I need some help in order to update application.
If you have installed that recent update and have rooted device please send me touch events protocol sample. This can be done easily from my application:
1) Install application from XDA thread or from market (free Lite version is sufficient)
2) Open Help tab in application
3) Click Email developer
4) Click 'Send protocol sample'
5) Follow instructions on screen, basically you need to hit 'Start', do a few single touch and multitouch gestures, click 'Stop'.
6) This will generate email and attach protocol sample. Select you email program and email it to me (it fill address, subject, etc).
You can review email, its in text form and attachment is zipped text too, no private information is sent.
Thanks.
works fine it seems.....
I hate to admit this but I recently got the transformer pad infinity, and installed a illegal copy of of gesture control root to test to see if it works.:crying: Im running latest update on the pad and everything seems to work decently. I can use back gesture, home gesture, application switch, basically all of them. I am using superuser and it runs smooth. I just dont know how to make gestures yet.
android 4.0.3
nova launcher prime beta 8
superuser
wallpaper comes back randomly when I turn the status bar off
latest asus patch 9.4.5.30
us version tab
HC_Default
blacklist works great
power saving mode on infinity runs it well no lag
Im going to purchase ur app soon, I like it very much and would hate to be without the latest updates. Thank you for yout great app
Tried & no go
I'm running stock .30 & Shell 3d
Here's screen shot when I tried to email.
It seems to work, but Shell tries to do it's thing
The app may be useful for others, but not my cup of tea.
Hi,
a very happy GMD user here, just awesome app! Thank you for your hard work and contribution to a better world :good:
I don't think there is anything wrong with gestures as such.
It doesn't work, that is true. But as soon as the app is opened, it works without a problem.
So, I think maybe it just isn't started automatically or something.
Hope it helps.

UPDATE
Development of this app will continue here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-spectrum-tv-aka-twc-tv-t3847520
Thanks for everyone who kept this project going!
Hello here you will find the most recent TWC TV App from the android market... except it has ALL restrictions removed, NO ADB checks, NO proxy checks, NO HDMI checks, NO ROOT checks, and best of all, a method to watch ALL the channels while you're away from home, not just SOME of the channels TWC let's you watch; this can be viewed over 3g/4g/wifi... hell even 1x lol.
NOW the part I like... and maybe the reason why the root check was implemented by TWC.... you can actually WATCH live TV on any wifi, 3g/4G network away from your home! all you need is a few tools and you're on your way.... if this is of no interest to you then just scroll down to the download link
To watch outside of the home network:
Install a proxy server on a machine inside your network (a computer that can play live tv from twctv.com successfully)
I use wingate FREE edition (http://wingate.com)
Make sure you configure your router to forward traffic on that port to your machine
as a side note, make sure you assign a static IP on your local machine so your router doesn't get confused
also make sure you go to whatsmyip.org and get your external IP address (as you'll need this for the android side)
Install an app from the android market called "Auto Proxy (ROOT)"
Configure Auto Proxy to connect to your machine... here you will enter the IP you got earlier from your home machine and the port you chose when you configured wingate...
Now activate AutoProxy and all traffic will be routed through your home computer (all apps, etc...) meaning when you use the timewarner app it will think you're inside your home network!!
Make sure you turn it off once you're done watching TV, otherwise you will be consuming all of your upload bandwidth and also slow down your speeds since it has to go through the proxy...
Profit!!
Some Notes:
This app should work on any phone with gingerbread and up. (Tested myself)
Feel free to donate It took me a while to learn how to do this and it took alot endless nights
I think i should also point out that I didn't use anyone else's code to do this; I'm a lone developer and just like the challenge
I am also working on a workaround to the proxy thing... a way to watch Live TV on your cellular network alone... no proxy required (I make no promises but i'm looking into it and hopefully I'll come up with something)
I'll also try to release a new version if updates are released... try and keep everything current
Questions? need a more detailed guide or anything else? just ask! I'm here to help ... (but see post #2 first)
The 3.21.14 app would not be possible without GreenNasty... THANKS!

[Questions/Issues?]
See post #2 and reply if you question is not addressed.
Thanks to those that made decompiling/recompiling easy!!
Don't forget to hit that thanks button if this app works for you!
donations are also appreciated... modifying something without the source code is tough... and a cup of coffee can go a long way when coding thanks for your support!
Bug List
APP Version 3.2#44: Some users report that HD doesn't work as well with the new app. Time Warner did alot of changes due to the move to streaming away from home, that means that they definetely could have messed something up.... if HD is not working properly for you and want to try the previous version (2.6#36) feel free to download it here: http://www.mediafire.com/?s3evtfhdedy3061
If you wish to decompile the app yourself, i have included comments in most of the important parts of the code that i modified... i will admin, they are HARD to understand and modify, but if you're looking to do it yourself in the future, I've helped you out
Issues/Troubleshooting
If you have tried this app and it does not work for you then i need the following information:
are you using the proxy instructions I mentioned or using the app using your home network?
MAKE SURE your device is rooted
if you are then please test it on your home network first and make sure it works (whithout ANY proxy, etc...)... if it does then let me know what issues you get when you use wingate and Auto Proxy....
if it does work on your home network but not with the proxy, then please tell me detailed instructions on how you set it up or if you need a guide on how to do so
do you have internet service through time Warner?
what device are you using?
what rom and kernel are you using, and what versions? (if you don't what kernel then just tell me which rom and version and i'll figure it out)
Are you rooted? With Super SU or just SuperUser?
All of the above checked? then i will need a logcat while the app is running Feel free to pm me the logcat ONLY after you have posted what i've requested and I'll let you know to send me a logcat... i don't want to receive random logcats and will ignore them if i haven't seen your information in this thread first!
Logcats can be taken via: adb shell logcat
OR adb shell and then type logcat, you can use the -f parameter to save it to a file rather than copying it from your command prompt to a file...
If there is anything else you think i should know, then please post that as well.... any little bit of information WILL help, trust me
I am committed to help.... but please help me by following the above instructions to make both our lives easier!
Thanks!
Will this work home lan with rooted / adb on ?

I know i haven't posted yet, but i recently got the TWC TV app and found that it doesn't work on Rooted devices or EVEN if you have ADB on!! anyways, I'm a developer but in a different language, nevertheless I looked around the forums and figured out how to modify the APK and came up with this... what better way to do my first post huh? lol

I really do not understand why they care if rooted / debugging is turned on?
I mean its at least a little understandable if one has an unlocked
bootloader and running on a non-standard rom.

There is competing theories on why they care... one of the reason i can think of (which i said in the OP) is that you can use a root app to enable traffic tunneling through a proxy (thus circumventing their "home network") restriction
Is this the phone version of the app?? Just wondering because I'm trying to get it to work on my HP Touchpad with CM10 and the signed versions I have found for the tablet are around 5mb and yours its just under 2.
Thanks!
*UPDATE*
Not sure why you version is so much smaller but it works perfectly on my tablet. I have been searching high and low for a fix and this was it. I can't thank you enough!!!

I wish I could, unfortunately that's a problem on the server's end, not the app... sometimes certain channels are unavailable because tw is having an issue on their end.... unless you're getting the error on every channel... right now I think Disney channel is having that issue, is it happening with a lot of channels?
Works great on nexus 10 running cm10.1 nightly thank you! I had to edit files after updating ROM now I don't have to, appreciate your work. HDMI would be a big bonus, cheers mate.

I will happily test it, i picked up a $10 cable from walmart, its a bit short but should do the trick. I managed to poke around in the code myself, dont know what the hell im doing, but thought i would give it a go. Anyway doing a file compare with your version and the stock version, i can see quite a few changes which im sure took quite a bit of time, so i want to say Thank You again!!!

I'm working on it right now.... just wanted to know: do you get an error message when you plug in the HDMI cable anywhere in the app? like even if you're not watching live tv? or only when you're tuned in to a channel?
UPDATE

Ok i just finished modifying the app... this is my first attempt at removing the HDMI check so don't be too harsh :/
Here you go: http://www.mediafire.com/?4w2tlc4k30t8pkt

I heard TWC app have troubles with some checkings with some ROMS maybe removing the checking when that message is shown. Look I tested on iPad, iPod, iPhone and. Samsung Galaxy Tab Android and works perfect but specific the problem is on Amazon Kindle 8.9 with iOs 8.1.4 and others in every channel no some channel is every channel the message and the message appears in no more than 30 seconds, in other words you only have around 30 seconds of video in any channel and the message is shown and other people have the same issues. If you have the code and you can check the message when is shown and remove the condition or if you have the source maybe we can see when the message is shown I can see to have an idea. If you look inside other forums in this webpage there are other people with dame problem in other devices.
Thank you

Can you tell me what specific message comes up? there's different messages that come up for different scenarios, if it's only "this channel is currently unavailable at this time" then i need to know specifics... what device, what android version, rooted or not.... a logcat of the app running would also be nice... I also don't understand what you mean by "iOS 8.1.4", afaik iOS is only on apple devices ... this fix is only applicable to android devices.
Let me know if it's happening to you and let me know the specifics i mentioned and i'll see what i can do about it.
Hi all!
So I've been working on an app in my spare time on & off for about 2 years and have finally put it up on the play store. I'm looking for opinions about it, as after building it for so long I've most likely got severe tunnel vision and wouldn't know what's intuitive and what's not to a new user!
What does it do?
Remote control your PC (mouse, keyboard, media buttons)
Copy files to & from your PC or other Android devices
Sync files automatically
Share clipboard data between devices
Open URLs and files (eg music, video) on remote devices
Supports sleep and wake-on-lan of devices
Why? There are similar apps already!
I wrote it out of frustration with the available options for "inter-connectivity" between my devices. I use a HTPC to watch movies and wanted a remote app to control the HTPC (remote mouse, play/pause/volume). There are many existing such apps but I didn't like what's out there:
Are complicated with separate "remotes" for each app that you have to juggle between, etc
They don't behave like a keyboard & mouse, but have special buttons to learn
They often require Java on the PC
Can be slow
I wanted much more than just a remote control app if I'm going to have a "server" running on my PC...
If you want remote clipboard sharing, file transfers, etc, you have ot install separate servers for each app on your PC... I thought I could do better, and you only need 1 "server" on the PC to do all of the above.
Finally, I wrote it to be peer-to-peer. This means that your PC isn't really a "server", for example, you can transfer files/open URLs Android-Android without a PC being present. One such case is when I'm often reading a webpage and open the link on my wifes tablet so she can check it out too!
It's also cross-platform. The same core bit compiles on pretty much anything, but so far I've only released the Android and Windows ports, as they're the ones that I've tested the most. Coming soon will be OSX, Linux and iOS last (I HATE objective-C syntax!)
I've got heaps of other features which I want to add, to build this into the ultimate way to make your devices cooperate... but with the existing features I thought it's time to release it & see what others think!
How can I download it?
The app is called MissingLink (one word, if you want to search for it on the play store). Or the direct link is here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.peaklabs.missinglink
The Windows version is available on my site at:
http://www.peaklabs.net/apps/missing-link/download/
Quit blabbing
Ok If you have time please give it a shot and let me know what you think! It has a trial as synching is a paid feature, but if you want I can reset your trial! Just message me.
Just hoping to get some feedback as I continue building it! Thanks heaps!
Oh and if you have any features you think might come in handy, please let me know! I'm sure there's so much that could be done with our devices that find each other and are connected via TCP/IP that isn't being done yet

Hi! Glad you found it useful
It's free, but you can upgrade to pro from the app - currently only file synching and PC shutdown/restart requires "pro"! I think as I add features in the future they'll most likely end up being part of the "pro" upgrade.

Certainly will! That's the next OS I'm going for actually.
Just wondering, what would you need it for - Android->MAC remote, or also due to file transfers? Some people have trouble with setting up windows shares between windows & OSX, and ML can be a replacement for that between win & osx too... Just wondering how you'd use it, as my wife is an OSX using photographer and I'm always annoyed by her backup needs with her weird (to me) file systems
I can completely understand about the shortcomings of the 'current' offerings, Sounds like ML is exactly what I've been missing for years.. (Wish I had something like this since I had my first android phone, to be honest).. Too bad I killed the battery in my tablet, but I'll be sure to test it out as soon as the tablet's charged and the phone is re-flashed.
Thank you
Hi. I've installed the app on my phone and Nexus 7. The Windows app is not playing at the moment. I keep getting a path error. Will report back tomorrow (it's late here), This could be really valuable. Thanks for your efforts. John
great work. this is what i waiting for
force close on kitkat
First time starting it gives an FC, after that it wont FC anymore, haven't recorded the logcat though. just saying
Working perfect on my Nexus 5. You sir are a genius. Very smooth and no-brainer install and usage. As matter of fact I typed this from the app itself :good:
Edit: I didn't like the icon so i made one for my use, but why not share it?
FC at startup with CM11 on ART
EDIT: second startup worked perfectly
Awesome. I think the icon above looks nicer, but apart from that, nothing much to say. Maybe try using different colours, maybe white instead of green would improve readability. Thumbs up
i'd love to have something like this for mac. as it stands android file transfer is not a great solution and i prefer just to adb push/pull things instead of using that.
hope there is a mac version soon!
Looking for the Linux version.
Once it's out, this will be my app.
I'm currently using a bunch of soft for the same things
- explorer ES for smb exploration
- Pushbullet for sharing pastes
- pydio for remote file access
- airdroid for some file exchanges
However some of these apps also works over mobile data and not only Wifi.

I'm not sure, but the previous Windows build (v 1.0.110) had an error that came up sometimes on first start, maybe that's what you saw - it should be fixed on 1.0.111 though. Let me know if you find out what it was! Thanks!

Hi! Sorry to hear that. I unfortunately don't have a kitkat phone to test on, as samsung hasn't released it for my S4 for some reason
If you see it again, please press the "Report" button, that'd be a great help! Thanks!
Hi All!
Thanks for the awesome feedback, glad people are liking it. I've noted your issues, and once I finish the next update I think I'll focus on building the mac & linux versions.
Also several requests for configurable UI colours, that's going to be a pain to code, but I think I'll have to do it in the end!
Please if anyone is seeing force closes, press the "Report" button. I may have found 1 cause of them but there may be others :-/
Thanks heaps!
Upon trying to activate the trial features after having had it installed for less than a minute, I get "Failed to start a MissingLink trial. Have you previously done a trial with this device?"
The answer is obviously "No," but the only option available is "OK."
Cannot find a price anywhere, and attempting to buy the pro version (since the trial is not available) results in an error.

Hi! A few of my modding friends made a new app, and gave me permission to share this with the XDA community. I hope you enjoy it!
Their words:
Picat is a Kik mod based on Kik/Pikek version 8.10. Made by Spirit, Jess, Nem, Bran, Dorcus, Kilo, and mint. We started this project to give people something fun to use and also to get some good learning experience out of it. If you have used Pikek in the past then you'll already know what features it has, however it's more than just another boring retheme of Pikek unlike most mods it contains never before seen features and commands which you will love and find very useful. Some of which include
- !back (auto invites people back to the group)
- Auto forward (great for bypassing that annoying 24 hour pic ban)
- Anti timestamp (to auto ban annoying people)
- New games such as !guess and !hang
- OS/mod detection (let's you view what operating system another user is using and/or their modded kik)
- Real time lurk detection (much better than @whoslurking as it doesn't timeout)
- Empty profile pic ban (to auto ban users who join without a profile pic. Great for keeping out spammers as they usually don't have a profile pic)
- Version switcher/Enable @bots (let's you switch between version.8.10 or 10.7 to choose between joining hashtags or using kik bots)
- Invisible mode (doesn't let others detect you're using a modded Kik)
- Built in bypass no save and forward (having a toggle for it is dumb)
- !demote (jid)
Let us know if you have questions, concerns, or ideas for new features in #catikhelp group or #picet. We hope you enjoy this mod!

App is crashing
I have tried both the light and dark versions of Picat and both crash as soon as I open them before logging in. I uninstalled all other Kik apps to try to fix it and it is still crashing. I had another version of Picat and out of nowhere it started to crash whenever I opened it and I have no idea how to fix it. I restarted my phone twice cleared app data, nothing works. Help?

I'm afraid I'm not aware of any issues since I'm not involved with the app, but if you still want my help, a good start would be to pull out a computer and look into "adb logcat." Running that when it crashes will provide us with valuable info about why the crash occurs.
Added for test it out later. Thanks for sharing it.

Thanks, I don't know how to debug.
I found that it only crashes and refuses to run when there is something funky with my internet connection like things being blocked on restricted Wi-Fi.
Can't login. Returns to initial setup screen after solving the CAPTCHA.
Does this (or any other mod) remove that silly chat history limit btw? And how about an export feature?
That's basically all I'd want a mod for...
Can't download?
Hello, I apologize if this post is stupid, but I cant seem to download the app. I press the Dropbox link but the link page closes right after loading,and doesn't start a download,anyone able to assist?
That's pretty odd! Try changing the '1' at the end of the link to a '0' and see what happens
Clean ?

Is there a way to retrieve videos that have been sent to you but got lost due to relogin with picat?
