I want to upgrade to kitkat but the lack of tabletkat support keeps me from doing it. Plus I love ICS, its the last version of android I really LOVED.
That lockscreen
That Roboto all over UI
That cute easter egg
The OG holo UI - after that tron (granted, Android 3.2 was nice) ****, before that edited ****.
I love ICS so much. I think if we can start looking into other OS's besides android we might breath some new life into what I personally consider the most legendary Android Tablet ever made.

I recently brought mine back out. I had tried flashing it with Omni 5.1.1 but it was buggy, so I reverted to 4.4.4 (CM11 I think?) and it's working great! I've not bothered installing gapps, instead installing F-Droid. It now serves as my car navigation/media system, sitting on its dock doing it's thing. I overclocked some and it's quite stable, running awesome.

everything is on Android File host, just go on the site, search for "Motorola Xoom" and start browsing
You are alreay big part partitioned I see, but remember, to switch between bigpart and no bigpart you just flash the bigpart/non bigpart twrp, and format data and all other partitions (accept sdcard of course). not wipe, format to ext4.

Thanks, I will give that a try.
XOOM still in use
I have used my MZ604 on and off over the years. Recently it went into the endless re-boot syndrome which I thought was hardware related as I tripped over the charger wire and bent the flimsy pin in the process. Tried taking it apart, disconnecting the battery, putting it in the freezer, swearing at it - all to no avail. Finally tried the dreaded factory reset which set it to Android 4.1.2 (can’t remember what the version was before) and to my surprise it works perfectly. Apart from having to re-do all the apps it’s a result I wasn’t expecting. Bit like getting an old friend back.
with bigparted cm11 , xoom is quite well . I still use it normally.

It's very difficult because the ROM it's de facto a linux system with his initrd, totally different from our actual HTC ROM.
there is an sdk for android.. jus google it and u will be sure to find it
did you take those screenshots?
If I buy the HTC Dream in Taiwan,
with a traditional chinese ROM,
do you think it will be easier to flash the ROM compared to windows mobile?
I usually wanted to buy a HTC Touch Pro in Taiwan,
but if flashing the ROM doesn't work right,
the phone is waistet money.
But Android is open, so it will be easy no?
i'm happy to see you are working on this i like this OS and want to have it running on my Polaris instead the R1 Syrius .
Thanks for the work you made.

I remember time when I tried to put Linux mandrake on my laptop 5 years ago. It was disaster and a lot of headake during 5 month before I could get drivers for integrated ATI 3D chip and AMD cool n quite module. So I guess you need to bee big pro to make all neccessary drivers for each device to make android working , for example on Polaris

On your laptop, why don't you just get a LiveCD or LiveDVD? Runs the entire operating system off of a disc, no need to install anything. Just boot up, choose "boot from CD" and you're good to go. Linux = Godly

There were live CDs as long ago as 8 years. Knoppix was one of the first (and best).
Linux has come a long way since then. As long as you're not buying serial-number "1" of any piece of hardware, you should be ok nowadays.

Posted in the android for kaiser development thread.
This is just for reference purposes only - I've been messing with this for a few hours, trying to work it into a Mountain Laurel update. Not sure if it's really worth doing yet.
Keep in mind that, if you run this as is on a GTAB, the side buttons will likely break and there's no camera app (since the Hannspad has no camera). There could be other unexpected issues as well. And on a 1.1 GTAB, it will possibly soft-brick, especially if you use clockworkmod. So just a heads up to use at your own risk.
Direct download link: http://tapntap.http.internapcdn.net/tapntap/hannstar/update-smb_a1007-4789-user.zip
Again, this is a ROM for the Hannspad, NOT the GTAB. They are similar devices, but not 100% the same. It's a newer 1.2-based ROM with a newer compile date than GTAB 4349 stock. Btw, this of course begs the question: Why is it that the Hannspad gets a relatively new TapnTap update, whereas legacy stock GTAB users are still stuck on 1.1-3588?
EDIT: screenshot. This is running off my GTAB, updated from 4349 stock --

Side buttons are definitely borked, and possibly the g-sensor as well.
Button Savior.
I second button Savior for every day use as well. I used button remapper to disable my side buttons long ago. Its the perfect solution for using the gtab in the dark too.
On topic though, any major UI changes in the hannspad update?
can we port over drivers and other files from the 4349 update?

Nothing of note yet, other than the addition of a few more languages (German, Italian, and Portuguese). The overall speed might be a little higher than 4349 stock, but the high-def playback is still problematic, unfortunately. That was the one thing I was hoping would be fixed. And Netflix doesn't work, either - yes, that was one of the first things I tested.
It's interesting just to see what TapnTap have been doing these last few months, but I'm not sure if it's worth developing into anything, yet.
REPLY EDIT: Ahhh, didn't look before I leaped. Will learn from that error.
I always though TnT was just a Home Screen Replacement. Is it more then that? Or can the APKs be ripped out and modded?
It's a few things - framework alteration as well as different stock applications. Some people prefer the TnT status bar, for example.
Still waiting on a new Viewsonic stock update, if it ever happens....
does anyone knows if there is a section/forum for hannspree sn10t1 tablet ?

it would sure be nice to be able to install a stock 2.2 android version with gaps in it and market.

I haven't seen one. Hannspad and Olipad users seem to be dispersed into this forum - and no power users / modders have made mods for them yet, at least tmk.

This is for the TF101G, don't be silly and flash it. Lets pick things apart and see if there's anything to be had for the TF101 rom base and/or kernel. Since the kernel source in the past has had provisions for the entire array of Asus models, I see no reason why this kernel would be TF101G exclusive. Lets sort it out.
And now we have the SL101 kernel source and rom..

Hey Blades call me silly I doubt this will help but what the hey... I nvflashed it on a TF101. It runs fine and rooted with Universal live cd v3 and installed CWM and upped that with Roach's CWM. Then got really bored and flashed netarchy netformer 1.6. Wi-Fi and bluetooth were upgraded from 8.6.5.7. The kernel version looks a little silly . Check it out for yourself.

That's great. That does help. Keep in mind that since the wifi firmware was updated, the bcm4329 source might've been updated too - same goes for anything else with a firmware update. That may or may not cause problems. I'll check to see if the bcm files changed at all.
no.. nothing in drivers/net/wireless/bcm4329/ is different..
Cool. Like I said everything worked fine and it does seem a little snapper but I'm sure that's in my head. It even has that Dim screen (default) bug yea!!!! .. If you need anything from it ...let me know.....
dim screen bug? Never heard of it.. explain?

whenever you try and do that presents you with multiple app options to proceed (think opening a video, and HC asks you which app to open it with)...the semi-transparent overlay shows up, but not the menu. the TF needs to be rotated to fix it.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk
Damn, I was going to guess that. I've seen that before. I wonder what logcat would 'say'. Next time it happens, I'll push the enter key on the dock and see what happens. That should confirm whether or not the menu is being displayed outside of the visible boundaries of the screen.
it's a very boring bug....
it occurs every time system boots docked or it's in landscape mode (without dock)..
What is the toolkit required to deodex apps? I notice that many of the apks are newer/different and I want to check them out.

Clever idea, just tested this myself. Surprisingly, pressing enter while the screen is dimmed *doesn't* select anything. If the menu has appeared on-screen pressing enter works (for example, if you do the rotate trick and then redock), but if the menu hasn't appeared on-screen pressing enter does nothing.
Long term?

It ran fine. I've been running it off & on and with different kernels available to us. Truth be told, I couldn't tell the difference between this (TF101G)8.6.6.9 or WW.8.6.5.7 or US.8.6.5.6 versions.
IMO: I would stick with Prime 1.7 and it looks like there testing 1.8.1 (it's pretty solid so far ). I tell ya, I'm having some fun with Blades new kernel too. That thing is a trip

GPS is a completely different version. Wifi is upgraded too, that's kind of fun.. what's with the GPS tho, my version is 1.5?
I think the GPS versions changed in the 8.6.5.7, for what reason I have no idea. Asus posted up the new 8.6.5.9 (for TF101) this morning on there TW ftp. I nvflashed both US & WW and they have GPS 5.5.8

Here we have what Google owned Motorola has created with Project Ara. A concept to bring the flexibility and open source that Google's android brought to software to the hardware side. A modular phone that you can customize. Why buy a new phone when you can just upgrade the one you have?
Build it to your liking, take it apart and build it better! And there even bring the ability use your 3D printer to customize it (I know you all have a 3D printer by now.... Right?)
Then we have the Build your own phone plan by Zact.
Currently on the sprint network, (I hope they expend or someone picks up on this and moves to something with a bit more... SERVICE.) You can pick how many minutes, text messages, and Mb of data you have or don't have, each month. If your realize that you need more minutes, text, or Mb, you just click a button and add them. If you have extra they roll over. How can it get any better? Oh, you have kids? You can set times, and limits on EVERYTHING! or don't. Your choice, and that's what makes it AMAZING.
All this mixed in with Android, makes it the perfect phone to build and create anything you can imagine in a phone. Unfortunately, I don't see Zact adding this phone to its list of phones for sale anytime soon, and currently Zact has "custom software" that means you can only buy there phones for there plans, and you can't install custom roms or anything that might cause the software to stop working because it would leave you left with a brick, and they do not have insurance. But... where there is android, there are devs and devs can do anything with time and support.
So, the future of cell phones is looking promising. If there are enough people interested in this stuff, support the developers. Comment on the xda forums and let them know that you want them to support Zact phones. Lets get the ball rolling on this.
I am starting my Zact plan for Christmas, and I will be flashing my prl's to roam because as of now, Zact roaming is free and roaming services at my house is better then sprint service.
The future looks promising! Let me know what you guys think!
future
nice phone...
Don't forget to help support project Ara on their dScout page!:good:
I got my phones a few days ago, it only took 2 weeks... I started it up, ran through the setup, wasnt thinking but aloud the OTA to run. I ran cf auto root, noticed I still didnt have su so I installed superuser from the appstore and checked root with root checker. Nothing. Then I remembered that I installed the OTA to 4.3 but forgot about Knox because I had not had to deal with it prior. I did just about everything I could think of. I also found that trying to retrieve your msl/spc is a lot harder. I am unable to get into the qualcomm usb menu because it asked for the msl, Most hidden menus are asking for msl. I attempted to install twrp but it says there is no recover found for my device. I cant connect it to dfs or cdma workshop. adb sees it, but I dont know much about adb so I want able to do much with it. I was however able to copy the ZACT mobile apk from the phone and install it to another phone. It is unstable and FC alot. My other phone sees it as a launcer like touchwiz or nova. Thought this would be a good idea to see what the apk itself controls on another phone. I am not a developer. I am computer savy and have been playing with flashing for a long time. If anyone is interested in teaching me a little, I would like make a backup of the rom. Is there a way to pull the full rom with pre-installed apks, I can factory rest back to start and just see whats available. I'd like to attempt to flash it to my old s3 make a clone kinda. So i can test an play with one without damaging my daily phone. Any thoughts or ideas on what to test let me know.
Nice
Just to set the record straight...in no way did Motorola create this idea. This was a concept created by Dave Hakkens. His concept was called Phonebloks. Motorola did some sort of deal to license the concept or something. Just don't go around saying someone created something when they didn't...its like saying Apple made the smartphone.

Anyone have a CHUWI Hi8 SE 8-inch Android 8.1 Oreo Tablet?
I was looking on Amazon and the specs seem pretty good, but I've never really heard of the company.
Are they any good?
Reliable?
I'm tempted to buy one.
I just got one today, haven't had much time to try it out yet. I'll write more next time.
In the meantime, I also have a few questions regarding the Chuwi's Android flavor (for anyone that might know the answers):
- With the default setup/launcher, is there really no way to customize the toggles in the notification area?
- Is it possible to use gestures instead of the bottom row 3 buttons? Haven't found the related settings anywhere yet.
I bought this tablet recently. It is a great value for the money!
Great screen, vanilla Android 8.1.0, no bloatware, 32gb storage.
My only complaint is that I'm completely unable to format SD card as internal (it has the option) or move apps to SD (there is no option). It's really weird and I'd like to figure this out!
I love it so far. Using it mounted in car for Waze navigation and Amazon music with everything automated through Automate Android app.
I agree, it's a great value for money, and unlike some (?) Xiaomi devices (which are actually great as well), it comes without bloatware and the kill-me-now privacy policy (and I can pretty much disable all apps I don't need, which was impossible on my last Xiaomi "trip").
And their support is even more responsive than that of my bank.
Other than that, I miss gestures (the bottom 3-button row on the screen is the only way to go), and I installed Nova launcher because I didn't really like the default one.
One more thing... the recovery mode is in Chinese - can someone post a translation of the first level menu?

It's not a bad tablet. Build-quality is pretty good and for the money, it is a good value. My only problem with it is that it doesn't recognize any of the Micro SD cards I put in (cards are fine as I tested them in other devices).
Came across some weirdness in one of the two system updates sections - namely, every now and then, the checking for updates fails, and the status line says
Code:
Failed to connect to fota5t.xxx.com/0.0.0.0:443
(see the screenshot below)
Sometimes it gets resolved correctly in the same session. My guess is they (Chuwi?) have issues with DNS or are attacked occasionally.... I mean, why in the world would the update URL end in xxx.com (the 0.0.0.0 IP is probably one of my blockades, on the other hand).
Hi. Is possible root this tablet? Thanks you

Thank you for this. So there is no "wipe cache" option (unless it's in a submenu), is that possible?
CHUWI Hi8 SE performance
The performance is very poor. The interface is not moving smooth at all. It cannot play 60FPS (neither 1080p nor 720p) clips in YouTube app. Chrome frequently freezes in use for 1 or 2 seconds.
Touch screen is very very poor. Is not calibrated and very insensitive.
Disappointed!
Any possibility to root the device?
TWRP or root solution for this device?
Very good price from BangGood
Managed to find its base ROM on Chuwi's official forum.
It'd be great to be able to root it or, even better, to have an Android 5 ROM for it since Oreo (8) is a bit laggy. ~
I recommend it ! :fingers-crossed:
Android 9
Any news with Android 9 for this device ?
Thanks
One of two bricked,
I bought two for my kids, one of them just died after 6 months, haven't figured figure out what yet, suspect battery. As I bought from banggood it's no point claiming warranty, cost to much time. Bought new in Europe, lesson learned.

If it's bricked, try reinstalling its base ROM ! (available on their forum, forum.chuwi.com)
