Lol is anyone interested in taking a look at this children's tablet?

There isn't any much information on the tab specs-wise, except that it runs on a customised Android distribution with a child-friendly UI (think Samsung's Kid UI), a 1024x600 LCD screen, and a dual-core Rockchip RK3168 SOC. That's besides VTech developed or curated edutaiment apps being distributed physically through proprietary cartridges (using a wrapper as NeverLies mentioned), a stylus pen and of course the form factor.
Mom's Messy Miracles is currently having a giveaway contest, if anyone's up to it.
UPDATE: @ifhi has managed to debloat and convert his Innotab into a plain ol' Android tablet; see this post for details.
UPDATE 2: Instructions on how to convert the Innotab can be found here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/convert-vtech-innotab-maxx-android-t4060429

Sorry for the bump, but anyone?

I'm also interested in some hacking of this device. I'm interested in the device so my daughter can still use her cartridges but still have a full android tablet.

I'm not sure if I'd be able to pick one up in the near future, but I'm interested in tinkering with one and knowing as to what VTech used for the Max's internals, like the card slot and of course the SOC used.
That, and since this is by and large a children's device, I'm sure Samsung's Kids UI would be a natural fit for this tab. That is if it can be ported at all. Oh, and Cyanogenmod, anyone?

I am also very interested to hack this device.

It has been hacked, there is a firmware hack to allow you to dump carts to the SD card. Trouble is I cant find anywhere to get pre dumped games so its not a moneysaver for me yet. You can also convert video to play too.
Any info on where I can download games would be much appreciated. The hack author wont allow pirated games.
Failing that maybe we could share??
for the hack google spiffy hacks innotab

The hack is for INNOTAB MAX version ?

Heard of it, but I'm actually interested in a root/recovery for the device as this one runs on Android. Yeah, there has been hacks for the other Innotab models, but while there's a thread in Spiffy's board mentioning about the possibility of supporting the Max, no hacks or root tricks for the latter exist yet.

Innotab/Storio (european name) Max
Hi
Anyone succeeded to root the tablet, or at least install an alternate store (Google Play Store or Amazon App Store) ?
I couldn't find anything about a way to dump games to SD card, can someone post some information about it ?

Are there any debugging options available on the tablet when you log in to Parent Mode? Something along the lines of Unknown Sources or at least a USB debug mode?

I would be definitely interested in accessing the play store and having root rights with this tablet. But I need to still have access to the Vtech UI for my child. (good UI I think, but a little slow sometimes).

Not that I know of the box it comes in doesn't say much and there's virtually no help on the options screen trying to find a way to maybe boot into recovery or something but I am very interested in finding some sort of alternate ui or a way to add apps from the play store and such if anyone would be kind enough to help I'd greatly appreciate it

Root
Hello,
Is it always impossible to root it ?
Does someone manage to go to recovery ?
I tried some combination of keys with power Button, but no luck.

Hello there
My daughter just had one, and I've spend couple of hours on this one.
Right now, here is the status:
- I can boot in bootloader interface mode
- I can "adb" with device
- while in shell mode, "su" is working fine, and can read full content of the tablet
You can see in attached pic that they may had some issue on the wifi/bluetooth device as they are some testonly release in it

Root
Wow !!
It's a good news !
Could you tell me how you enter in bootloader mode ?
Thank you for your work !

I don't want everyone to get a bricked device so let's wait a few and found out what is available.
I've also made available some information on spiffy. Let me see If I can get the FW

As posted on spiffy, here are the instructions
1. Turn OFF your MAX
2. In order to get access, you will have to boot to recovery
* * *- Plugin USB cable and wait for the battery charging animation
* * *- Hold down UP (on the dpad) + LEFT (on the dpad) + Context Key (the one on the upper left) and press ON for 3 seconds
-------- Alternate: Up & left (d-pad) vol up and power button (3 seconds)
* * *- It will stay black screen, this is normal
3. Using the google driver, edit the "android_winusb.inf" file on your PC, and add following lines:
- In section named “[Google.NTx86]”
;InnoTab Max
%SingleBootLoaderInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_2207&PID_0006
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_2207&PID_0006
- In section named “[Google.NTamd64]”
;InnoTab Max
%SingleBootLoaderInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_2207&PID_0006
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_2207&PID_0006
4. Plug the MAX on your PC using USB cable
5. Drivers should be then installed correctly (thanks to modifications done in android_winusb.inf)
You now have adb access to your tablet, only in recovery mode. You can test using "adb devices" command, it should list your device
6. start adb shell using "adb shell" command on your PC
7. Get root access, using "su" command
8. Enable adb for normal mode, using this command: "setprop persist.service.adb.enable 1"
9. You can now reboot the tablet in normal mode using "reboot" command
Once tablet is rebooted, you will see an unknown device, based on the rk30 board. You will need rockship driver pack to continue with adb in this normal mode
10. Install driver pack for rockship from: http://dl.radxa.com/rock/tools/windows/RK_DriverAssitant.zip
You now have complete ADB access to your tablet
I've just installed the latest firmware upgrade available and the device is reported to be running on android 4.2.2
Let me know if you have issue while following these steps, but should be quite straightforward.
Note that busybox 1.11.1 is already available, and you have root access.
If you need to factory reset your tablet, the key combination is almost the same as getting in recovery
Hit: UP + LEFT + ? and turn on the tablet
------------------ Android Launcher ---------------------------------
Start adb shell and type the following command:
am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -c android.intent.category.HOME
this will move to foreground the android launcher

Congratulation !
How did you find this konami code ???
So, can we install apk ? Is it possible to reboot with vtech launcher ?
Thank you again !

Looking interesting now been playing with my daughters when she not demanding Peppa pig on it some cool posibility with it if we can launch some apks on there

Just release it and the source
Making an English version would be a necessity, further translations can be done if anyone cares to translate it.
What programming language is it written in? I've started dusting off a similar project I'd been working on since ComplexMind is on hiatus with his "My Android Manager". I think if we can build a consolidated pc interface it would help out the community a lot. Open the source and I'm sure you'll have people beating a path to your door to help out.

I thought it looked like VB. You can definitely add me to the list of people interested in helping develop this further. My Android Manager hasn't moved for about a month. At least around here, that's quite a while. I've not worked much on localization before but dynamically labeling based on an indexed data file shouldn't be too hard. Do you currently use any sort of db storage or is strictly a command line wrapper at this point?

I wouldn't say it sucks, but it is incomplete. Since the source is closed on it though we're at the whim of ComplexMind to fix things.
looking great! nice idea
but MAM have a "little thinks" about which i am thinkink "i must have in own app" such as phone detection and cmd output to gui.
Now I am using strictly defined commads and link library with functions for convert rgb565 to others usable formats. In future, i want make simple db with commands for easy updates and edits... And MUI is easy to implement, but need more time (work, work, work in IT is hard :-D )

Your time frames are your own, but around here people loose interest fast if things stop happening. My first thought with a back end db is that each control could be indexed and then captioned during a splash screen process for simple localization. Maybe crude, I'm not a professional programmer, but I think it would work. A quick Google search popped up a sample for capturing command line output. It would need a little work to adapt but I can see where it's going.
Code:
Dim CMD As New Process
Dim SW As System.IO.StreamWriter
Dim SR As System.IO.StreamReader
CMD.StartInfo.FileName = "cmd"
CMD.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = False
CMD.StartInfo.RedirectStandardInput = True
CMD.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = True
CMD.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = True
CMD.Start()
SW = CMD.StandardInput
SR = CMD.StandardOutput
SW.WriteLine("ping www.google.com")
CMD.Dispose()
SW.Dispose()
Do Until SR.EndOfStream = True
TextBox1.Text &= SR.ReadLine
TextBox1.Text &= Environment.NewLine
Loop
SR.Dispose()
i tried write a hundreds lines of code for creating nice shell output... even this but not works good

I'll see if I can find some time to package this up as a class module and test it out. I'm watching the baby today so time is not my own. I think parsing the output would definitely be the tricky part. Then of course making that output useful.
2ben... your code have 2 big minus 1) when start command, application totaly freeze and waiting to command end 2) text output is writed after command ended better is System.Diagnostics.Process.Start
i'm fairly proficient in .net. looking forward to helping out. open up the source. better move on it quick though, these guys move fast.

I think the "EndOfStream" property is not capturing correctly for some reason. It kept freezing for me when I first tried it. I've just about got it wrapped up in a module so the output is continually cached until the class is released. I'll try to post it soon, once it's working on my end that is.
i like this a lot. Looking good and willing to test. Can we have an English version though?

I've successfully isolated the problem to the read stream not having the expected endofstream characters. I've not resolved a workaround though... yet.

Dead Space *Running 100%*

See the number of ways you can install the game below.
UPDATE
-Version 1.1.35 works without modifications. Purchase from the market then side load (thanks Philburkhardt)
OLD
Hey guys I found the ultimate fix that remedies the landscape issue and allows you to play the game without chain fire. I received this tip from user Brazooka from another forum, I'm not sure if this fix has been posted here but I'll just add it on in case someone missed it.
"The issue is not the APK but the SD Data...
That's what I did:
- Used v1.1.37 APK cracked by Nops
- SD Data downloaded via Wi-Fi (let the game download)
This way the game works fine with Chainfire3D (Qualcomm plugin)
If you want to run the game without Chainfire:
- download the "SD for ALL" ( Which I will not link here for obvious reasons)in the first topic. Extract ONLY these directories:
\ea\deadspace\published\ParticleBaseTextures
\ea\deadspace\published\texturepacks_ui
\ea\deadspace\published\textures
- overwrite the previous ones, the ones the game itself downloaded from EA servers.
VOILA!"
I haven't put much time into it so if anyone has any issues feel free to let us know.
I found THIS thread. Maybe it will help. It's worth a shot.

Has anyone gotten dead space to run properly on their transformer? It installed and runs quite well however all i see is white screen and the screen is stuck on portrait. Options, and the onscreen analog is visible and I'm able to move the character around but its difficult due to the graphical issue. I tried it on my nook color and the orientation is fixed except for the white screen.I remember seeing someone saying they had it running, I just don't remember where.Help?

Install Chainfire3D and the Plugins, then use the PowerVR plugin, if that doesn't work, use the Qualcomm plugin.
Thanks but I've had it preinstalled

Chainfire3D + the Qualcomm plugin fixed the white, but it's still stuck in portrait .
How did you get it to install? I installed the apk and then the sd files on the root ea/deadspace and still keep getting the downloading bar.

Copy game(apk) from your xperia ... download cache from "google" and paste "deadspace" into "ea" folder on sdcard (internal memory). launch te game and its works.....in portrait
Game should work ..like on acer:

That's what I'm hoping will happen, but the fact that no other EA games are compatible with the Transformer isn't giving me much hope. The Transformer can't even access Flexion. I finally got Need for Speed Shift working on the TF. I bought it months ago for my EVO. I had to jump through flaming hoops to get it running. There are even currently two versions on the market, at two different pricepoints. Neither of them are compatible with the TF, WTF? As far as I'm concerned, EA is currently no better than Gameloft. Placing [email protected]#t hardware requirements on their games. I would love for EA to prove me wrong and open up Dead Space for a wide variety of devices, after the month long Xperia Play exclusive period ends. But, seeing as I still can't play the Sims 3 I bought 9 months ago on my TF, I'm not expecting it.
Sorry for the mini-rant .
I think the problem could be fixed via the AndroidManifest.xml file inside the APK. The file specifies orientation, and what priority it takes.
I made a custom xml file for it.. not sure if it works, but someone would need to repackage the apk with it. I am not having any luck getting a apk to repack today...

If you want to post it, I'll give it a shot. Won't be able to post the apk if it works, because it would be warez. But I could maybe confirm.

That is perfectly understandable. As long as you could confirm, I think that would satisfy most people here that it is fixable.
Here is the link: http://db.tt/F1FIOQc
All it does is edit this line:

to:
Code:
<activity android:name=".DeadSpaceActivity" android:screenOrientation="landscape" android:configChanges="orientation"/>
I'm not having much luck. I'm able to get the apk together and re-sign it. But, it isn't showing up as an installable apk on my tf.

Thats the problem I was having. I am not sure what is causing it either. Its above my head.
Been trying to figure it out. The simple line change shouldn't of changed anything to that effect..
If anything, it might be the forward slash I added at the end of the statement. Could try removing that, and giving it another shot.
Edit: Nevermind. I was able to get it to compile. It was the slash. No go. I will continue to take a look at it.
any one fix it?
Nope. At least I haven't yet. Everything I have tried, it ignores. I have a feeling that its something deeper then just the AndroidManifest.xml file.
Been looking at the .java data for an override statement, but I did not see one.
Pretty much at a dead end from my end.

Manually replace the .apk in /data with this .apk using a root explorer or ADB?
Just wondering if anybody thought of it.
Just restore a backup when it most likely doesn't work anymore.

Hello,
I have transferred dead space to my sdcard root, and installed Chainfire 3D with the plugins (I pressed on all three, and had them install). However, I still get the white screen overlay when I start the game. Is there some way to get rid of this?

Mini-Guide Adb installation and usage

How to run ADB on Windows for the MediaPad X2 ( and probably other Huawei devices ) :
* Windows: Download the HiSuite from Huawei ( for the adb drivers )
http://consumer.huawei.com/minisite/HiSuite_en/
* Windows: Download the adb 15 second installer ( and install with admin level )
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
* Smartphone/Tablet: Set your device to USB debug mode
- Go to Setting - About Phone
- Press 7 times on the Build number until you see a message that you have access to the developer options
- Go to Setting - Developer options
- Enable "USB debugging"
* Windows: Run the abd command
- Search for cmd, right click and select "Run as Administrator"
or
- Go to c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe, right click and "Run as Administrator"
* CMD box:Enter the following commands:
- cd c:\adb
- run the command you need.
For instance to change the DPI for your phone / smartphone:
- adb shell wm density 280 ( or whatever number you need. The X2 runs at 400, the Sony Z Ultra runs at 320 ).
Reboot your device after making changes
Hi. Any way to get the drivers alone, without installing all hisuite?
Thx
Can you post some screen shots of the X2 running in 280dpi please ?
What the advantages of changing the dpi ? is it you can get more on the screen ?
Is it possible to change dpi using an app and could it be set on a "per app" basis ?
I don't want to screw up EMUI
Thanks

The dpi changes can always be undone. So you are not going to screw up EMUI.
Here are some pictures that ajsmsg78 posted:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62462003&postcount=12
You gain about 60% more content on your screen in Chrome etc... At 400 ( default ) dpi, the X2 its screen content is nothing but a oversized smartphone. With 280dpi, its a tablet with way more usable area.
At first i also doubted if it was worth the effort, because it took me a long time to figure out all the steps. That is why i wrote this manual, so its way more easy for other people. Will it screw up EMUI, yea, for a part:
The new installed program icon's will have a green area. The basic 5x5 will not change size with the new DPI ( because Hauwei is so stupid as to hardcode the grid size around the 400 dpi ). But you can use any other launcher instead of the EMUI launcher. I kind of like Action 3 ( Action launcher 3.5 ) as a replacement.
The few disadvantages are really few, compared to the massive gains you get. The Sony Z Ultra was running in 320dpi and still had chrome in smartphone mode ( no tabs etc ). 280dpi on the Sony's 6.4" was not feasible. But on this 7" X2, 280dpi is the perfect size and it opens up several programs there tabled mode.

Make sure you check these threads daily. A lot of stuff gets posted that you may not have seen and then the same questions get asked over and over again. You could even start a new thread in the Q&A section asking for someone to post pictures of what the phone looks like at 280dpi. You'd probably get a faster response if you did that. It makes it easier to look through each thread if we all keep the topic about what the original post was about. :good:
Thanks very comprehensive answer
I want to set my dpi to 280 now but can't without access to my laptop
Will have access to computer in a few days and will do it then
The X2 has to be connected to the lap top

Wow! Something new to think about! I assumed that you saw MORE content on the display because the display is bigger. But now I understand that's not the case. If you do what's on the instructions that Benjiro figured out does that void the warranty?

I get the same "cannot find device" error but ADB still works. Try the commands and see if they work. Or update your Android Platform tools to the newest version.
Hi!
Thanks for the guide!
Is there a way to fix the navbar disappearing in horizontal mode? When I hold the X2 in landscape mode the Navbar is still there (a black stripe) but the Back/Home/Recent Apps Buttons are missing. Tried several DPI settings.
EDIT!
For some reason it works now! The navbar is now on the right side of the screen when in landscape mode! I switched DPI several times one after another (280, 320, 400, 330, 300, 280, 320 something like that) and rebooted and somehow it works (320DPI).
But there is one big problem: the famous and extremely useful keyboard "Swiftkey" becomes totally unusable below 400 dpi.
A big disappointment more on this X2 ....
No problem if you change dpi via the kangvip menu
For this install AJ's B211 Rom

Root tutorial:
Install adb / fastboot drivers for the tablet
– Try this version first . 1.3 – http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979 If it doesnt work . ( Like for me use 1.0) http://adbdriver.com/downloads/. Should work on windows 8.1 and windows 7
– Enable USB debugging and leave tablet on.
– Download SuperSU (http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu)
– Download IntelAndroid-FBRL (https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95897840722644693)
– Copy UPDATE-SuperSU-vX.Xx.zip to the tablet
– Uncompress IntelAndroid-FBRL on your computer
– Launch “launcher.bat” from IntelAndroid-FBRL folder ( Screen will be cyan if good )
– Type “ACCEPT”
– Check if device status and device information are OK, ( Screen should be cyan if ok and red if not. Refresh status by hitting enter. Remember if you get device status as unauthorised then go back to tablet and grant access. Screen will go cyan after if approval is given ) then type “T3″ the script will run . I got a fail at one point but it still booted in CWM.
– The tablet should reboot in fastboot mode, and after another auto-reboot, CWM recovery should show up
– Flash UPDATE-SuperSU-vX.Xx.zip
– Wipe Cache . ( Can take a while be patient. )
– Reboot !

Thanks for this guide. Is there any alternative to the stock rom? Like Cyanogenmod or Miui? Can you also make a guide to restore to factory conditions? Thank you very much
As of now there isn't any Lollipop build for the device and I don't think it will be.

What is the reason for no rom? Intel does't released the kernel sources?
Sent from mTalk
Do you have a custom rom for Hi8?
I mean for example RemixOS, MIUI with multi-language.
Hi, my chuwi hi8 does not power ON and charge, etc. It just went down when I let it charge overnight and it does not turn ON anymore? Is there any thing that I did something wrong or maybe it any way that can fix the problem?
I already tried battery reset " remove solder of the red wire, wait and plug in the usb cable to see for direct power but unfornately nothing's happened. Return the red wire again but still no use.
Please help, I love this tablet but it appears to be of no use no more.
Thank you....:crying::crying:

#1 Android Emulator by Android Authority

Leapdroid Game Player is the Fastest Android Emulator and Virtual Machine in the world

Yes, it's an Android virtual machine, similar to BlueStaccks,. We have compared the benchmark scores, and Leapdroid is the best on market, please give it a try.
We have much better architecture and technologies compared to others, and feel confident to come out as #1 Android emulator. We have a new OpenGL forwarding technology, called LeapGL, and a virtual fiber between android vm and the host machine, which results in ultra high performance. The benchmark scores we got from our vm is very close to native execution speed.
We have github account here, will release some source code.
https://github.com/leapdroid
look forward to Linux version.
Yes, we are working on a Linux version too.
To give you some ideas on our performance, we run BlueStacks and our Leapdroid on the same physical PC, with exactly same configurations. We use AnTuTu 6.0, and the scores are shown in the attached images. The larger the score is, the better the performance is.
it's 156141 (LeapDroid) vs 122794 (BlueStacks)
WTF? The installer provided stucks at 0
Sorry about that, our developer is looking into the issue. Can you try installing again? Also check if the md5 matches.
It's an offline installer, suppose not downloading anything during installation, so that progress bar is misleading, can you check if the file size is around 245MB?
would be nice if the installer says/ask where you're installing to instead of just installing. i also get an empty folder with unreadable symbol after its done installing that look like this C:\Users\SPeciaL\Desktop\ĸ‚⿝矨搦\Leapdroid\VM
can i delete it?

Yes, you can delete that weird folder.
Look like the bug is to do with self extracting, can you put the exe file to a folder that you have write permission?
We wil release a new version next week.

? the exe is on desktop and i believe i have write permission?. i checked the properties and all it's not "read only" if thats what you meant. besides the weird installation there's also sound lag and kind of felt like echo. the graphic also isn't as clear as bluestack (i used it before it always stuck initializing) and memu.
1st
tried to find and remove all traces of LeapDroid: don't know whether was 100% successful.
2nd
ran installer again. Got error message
but the mentioned folder doesn't exist.
I gave up wasting my time with LeapDroid ...
Suggestion:
Please, I believe the user should always have the choice to avoid "installations", therefore, I'm asking for "Leapdroid-Portable" version.
Such version should always be released alongside the major Leapdroid releases.
When I say "Portable", I mean a self-contained directory with all the settings/things/other you need to run Leapdroid (so, your android emulator can become really portable....aka fully contained on your beloved USB-DataKey).
No weird directories spread on your disks, no infinite amount of obscure registry-keys, no problems when trying to uninstall/reinstall....
....just a directory, full of your stuff.
As jwoegerbauer pointed out, the uninstall process is always a sensitive matter.
What's easier than uninstalling just "deleting" a folder?
some more experiments and it seems to be able to run apps that i couldn't on other emulators, fate grand order for example and also smoother despite sound issue (clash royal). i'd also like to hide sidebar if possible but nice stuff for first version!
Report here:
leapdroid can't run seven knights games and vpn apps
also please add more features like install apk - config resolution - orientation change.
Might want to move the shared folder default location to a more known place like MyDocuments or something. Couldn't find it anywhere so I had to check vm1.vbox and it turns out it was in "C:\Users\*\AppData\Roaming\yiwanzhushou\shared". It's the best way to transfer apks and other files to the Android machine, so it should be in place where your average user can access it quickly without much thought.
Already comes rooted which is always a plus. Would be nice if you could customize WASD keymap, but it isn't a big deal right now.
I don't play that many FPS intensive games, but overall they do feel smooth. Sadly I couldn't get シノビナイトメア / Shinobi Nightmare (jp.co.gu3.samurai) and Tales of Link (com.bandainamcoent.tolink_ww) to work (game starts but there's a black screen and you can't do anything), but since MEmu and Nox can't run them as well I wasn't expecting this to do it, so far only BlueStacks has been capable of running them without issues in my machine.
Also this is just my personal opinion, but I don't think the emulator should come with preinstalled "game installers". Unless you're being paid to put them there, I don't see why some random crappy games must be forced down my throat when I have no interest in them. Needless to say the first thing I did when I saw them was to uninstall them. If I wanted the game, I'd go get it myself.
Thanks for testing and those feedbacks. I hate installation issues too, and we will resolve them in next release. We take user feedbacks seriously.
These couple of weeks we have fixed more compatibility issues to cover more games, we will make sure all games reported here got supported in next few releases.
Please test more, and leave feedbacks. Appreciated!
How to install my own apk
I have played Critical ops on your product, it runs smoothly, key mapping works perfect. But it seems I can only download games from google play store, I didn't find any button or settings with APK install.
BTW, your product boots so fast, less than 5 secs on my pc.
