Anyone have the new dual boot viewpad 10? I have one and loaded the New Update Andriod 2.2 for it but the Back key doesn't work. The wifi is not working correct.
Is there anyway to load drivers for this or is there other problems?
Thank you.
By the way I have opened mine up.
It now has 2GB Ram 64GB hard drive and soon built in GPS with Active patch Ant. You can also install the 3G modem if you like. All that is missing is the modem and Ant. Sims Card slot is there.
You make me want to sell my gtab and pick up one of these. Or just bite the bullet and give the gtab to the g/f and get a vpad for myself.

Couple of questions, my wife has a ViewPad 10:
- where did you get the Android 2.2 update? Was this from Viewsonic?
- do you know of a source for the mini-vga cable?
Thanks.

hmm... i'm surprised that there's actually a variant of 64GB SSD for this model because i could've sworn it only came w/ a 32GB SSD max built in for the VPad10... where'd you get your VPad10? also if memory serves... doesn't this tablet run on an intel pine trail processor and chipset (hence the win7 dual boot)? and where'd you get the froyo update? if i recall, current non ARM based processors only support up to android 1.6 (unless there's a ROM out there built from the ground up that runs on intel's hardware)

i don't think this was one of those frankenstein DIY upgrades since the VPad10 already comes w/ the specs mentioned
and while everything does sound great on paper, how's the battery life on it?

I was thinking the same on the 64 gig and was wondering how they did if they did that
There is an unofficial 2.2 update from Viewsonic that was released quite some time ago for the Viewpad 10.

OK I made a quick search in the forum and didn't find anything which is quite a surprise...
I came along with this...

Its inside the hardware limitations of Athena and could be running from the miniSD or the microDRIVE.
3G/EDGE, WIFI, Bluetooth, GPS all supported
For all of us using the Athena as laptop/replacement or just have another cellphone for actual phone calls maybe is the best news out there...
It might also support phone calls I don't know!
Also optimized for 4~7 inches screens... WTF???
I don't have the nerves to tested right now as I'm on a trip
Anyone knows more about this???!!!???
Hm...listen nice.
But i will wait, untill you will finish your trip. Then you can test it.
Thx for the informations.
wow that is cool. i would love to do this. but i would have to go back to using my kaiser ) i might give ti a try.
ummm... guys - a quick check reveals that it needs an Intel CPU and 128MB RAM - two things that the Athena doesn't have...
If you take a look at the wiki it looks like we do have the neccesary hardware.

I got all hot and excited by this thread but the above statment was correct you will find that the Athena doesn't have the required cpu
although you are correct it's an Intel Xscale, the Xscale cpu is based on ARM instruction sets not x86
Quote from website:
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
CPU
Intel x86 compatible
Intel, AMD and VIA at 366MHz and up
this alone bombs the thought of this linux flavor on the athena.
I agree it's possible to a limited degree i've seen other threads about this idea and the such as qtopia, Opie and similar will run their basic functions on the athena, it wouldnt' support the gsm radio or many other chips already in the athena due to a lack of development specs that haven't been worked out.
I'll never profess to be an expert in linux even though i consider my self as an average user. But i don't know how to develop or program applications in full but i know enough from my old tinkering days that the instruction set of the cpu rules alot
good thinking though =)

Is it possible to boot Athena form any USB pheriperal such as a stick or a cd-rom ?

Yes. I'm running qtopia compiled for Universal off the USB stick, and the touchscreen is supported too.
It's also possible to attach the USB keyboard and mouse at the same time,
but then you'd use the external USB hub.
I've bought the USB host adapter exactly for that purpose.
The complete code can be dowloaded from the handhelds.org CVS
(including the ATI SD test driver, which does not work yet)

Was this module purchased by XDA member ?

If so, any chance to get a report how it's working and perhaps some pictures ?

I saw that too and was mighty interested. No pics of the hardware being sent or it installed in the gtablet so I'm just a little curious. I emailed the seller to ask if he's got more for sale or any pics...
I posted on this before. I think its a scam. I think they are selling a gps reciever that is not a internal add on. I got a gps unit for $20.
Scam with positive feedback from the buyer? (and it wasn't re-listed)
I don't think so.
does an external gps exist for this?

I think you are missing the point folks,
internal would be way more convenient.
I wouldn't hesitate to solder it but still can't find the right module.

I haven't finished installing it because you have to put power to the chip and install the Ant. Insturction are really not very good. I will get it finished but it's on the back burner now as I'm Modding my Viewpad 10 dual boot.

When did they release Android 2.x that works on x86?! I would go out and get a Dell Inspiron Mini Duo if I could run Froyo or Honeycomb on it as a dual boot option...
I've posted in another thread about my external keychain GPS receiver from Freedom. It works fine if I want to use the GTab for navigation in the car. It may be similar to the receiver sold by this Ebay seller.

Thank you for your answer! Is your device rooted? Because only if it's rooted you can go to the folder where the file is. Or maybe you have the ROM? That will be the best way if you have the ROM to send it to me. Or to ask your reseller to send it to you? By the way where did you buy it from? That might help me to obtain the original firmware.

Who the hell gives names to this devices .. ? Flytouch 5 ? zomg!
this is the ONLY company that has the Infotmic SoC available for implementing into tablets:
http://www.shuoying.com/global/index.asp
http://www.shuoying.com/global/Product.asp?/3.html (tablet page)
I Know that, cause I personally visited the head of Infotmic SoC design (Shenzhen) and ShuoYing CEO, also in Shenzhen (Infotmic HQ is from Shanghai)
If there is any other tablet with "Flytouch" design, then they are tempered from the original tablet made by Shuoying, or they are so wild that it is really a mystery of it's origin.
My guess is that those are regular FT2 (since all have the same CPU) tweaked by some wild chinese people, Kernel and OS, and RAM/ROM
not to all - dont buy tablets from companies that dont show up in 1-2 hours search. You'll end up with tablet that someone assembled by hand and a screwdriver, and most probably extremely bad OS.

I think your completely right there.

Thanks for the input btw.
Digital Zoro - im sorry for your failed tablet device.
On the other hand - I find the FT2 design to be the best tablet design ever. it obviously lacks the fine finish, and better materials, but - 10 inch wide tablet, with every god damn port there is - pure win.
I saw the "actual" FT3 in Infotmic Shenzhen, and it looks awesome - capacitive screen, ARM Cortex A8 based infotmic SoC (about time dudes, you are sooo late) .. dont know why isnt out yet, cause all those named "FT3" dont have same specs as the one I saw.

My Flytouch 5
The design is not really bad and i like that it has the rj-45 port.
The screen I find bad. No multitouch and slow reaction when touched.
Its thick and heavy to hold.
Flytouch 5 should have GPS build in, but it doesn't.
The Flytouch 2 3 4 5 are all the same design. On one moment it lost the second mini sd slot.
Is this only with the fake ones?
No, they are all faulty. the forementioned Shuoying company makes crapy tablets
I took for bussines 30 units the first time around, and I still have 6 broken units. others had flaws, mostly of how they are assembled - everything is sticking out, and such. USB/SD slots die more often than you could imagine.
buttons are the biggest problem - they are not glued in & soldered - they are JUST soldered. so the only thing that holds them into place is Tin (Sn) and we all know how that is firm and solid
oh, there is also a screen problem - there are 3 types of ZIF wire-to-board connector types for the screen, so if you ever need a screen replacement - dont even think about it.
the best assembled chinese tablet is from a company Utopia, in my expirience. you can find them by the name "imx515" A8 or A10 tablet. it turns out that solutions for assemble is better than most of the branded companies.

I am wondering if it is possible to root this device ,with it running 4.0 being a bit harder, i own an xperia play so i know a thing or 2 about this device , but my questions lay with what method is best , what if there is any device usb files i can use for it and also what roms are comapitble ?
I am very clued up so any advice or explanation or directions will be useful
cheers
I don't think so. It's one of those obscure tablets that no one has really heard about. It has a unique processor b/c it's custom made by that company and dont't think anybody has worked on it.
If you are looking for a good, rooting tablet, try the Nexus 7.
Thanks for the advice. I only got this to kind of introduce me to the Tablet world. The Nexus 7 is definitely on my top must have

There might be a way to do it. I know my friend got a cheap $80 tablet off of Amazon that just said Google on the back. It had no brand name what so ever on it. It turned out to be a wondermedia wm 8600 or something like that running some hacked gingerbread version with a fake market. It had an old touch screen, not even capacitive. I found a tool designed to root it and put official market on it and everything, and it worked for like 50 different models that were similar. It didn't make it great, but it worked better and at least had the official market. Maybe there is something like that for yours.
I can't think of the name of the program, but try looking at your model number info and try searching for that specific on Google. You never know what you might find.

The reason is because Jide has left the consumer market, and had completely stopped supporting their consumer products.
Now they only work with enterprises.
Try Phoenix OS instead.

How does Phoenix compare with Remix? Will it work on a TW700 tablet? I have been trying for over a week to load Remix 3.0 with zero success

To say the truth, I had not gotten the chance to check Phoenix OS lately.
However, since you have a BayTrail CPU (those did not get much supportĺ I think that you're better off with the Android-X86 LOS or standard Linux (I highly recommend Solus, and the GNOME 3 UI has great support for touch displays), and even then, you will need to compile some of the drivers yourself (such as the touch driver for the screen, until you do so, you will absolutely have to connect a mouse and keyboard).

Thank you so much. I am checking your recommendations as i type this.
My other problem is the 1GB Ram. Which one of those you think will work best.
I am planning on connecting it via HDMI to my TV and running just 1 android app (hmdi audio/video is all i need). I don't care about touchscreen support.

With only 1 GB of RAM, I highly recommend using Android-x86's LOS 15.1 (you will still need to compile the touch driver for the screen, and probably other drivers as well, including audio and HDMI.
Thanks...will let u know how it goes.

You were right. I wasn't able to find LOS 15.1 but did boot 14.1 and though it did reboot on its own twice, it did finally load. It was however very slow.
I tried it on the TW801 which has 2GB Ram and it was more fluid. Touchscreen did work and so did Wifi. Hdmi audio was the bummer.
I have officially given up installing android on the TW700.....I don't think tje tablet is capable of running it well and even if it did.... HDMI audio will be a lost cause.
Thanks for your help....i appreciate it and at least I did finally got to see android on it.

Wait, how about you try running a standard Linux distribution on it?
You may still need to compile the drivers, however there is a higher chance that things will work properly after running updates and rebooting without any compilations.
I tried ubuntu live...slow on the 700 better on the 801. I ordered an Android box..... should receive it today. Lol

And this was Ubuntu 18.04, correct?
I tried 16.04.4 64 bit

Why such an old version?
18.04 has a much newer kernel (I think 4.14 or 4.15), and as such, has a much higher chance of working properly with your hardware (you may still need to compile drivers, however it's not too hard when people have already prepared the code and instructions for you), plus, it uses GNOME rather than Unity (which is discontinued by Canonical), which is at version 3.28, a release that brought many optimizations to system resources, so it should run more smoothly.
Also, when installed, it'll be be much faster, since the internal NAND is much faster than a USB drive, partly because of the fact that it ustilizes the SATA protocol, rather than the USB protocol, and partly because the chip is just way faster.
I thought that my limitation is the poor processor and the RAM. If I had a celeron it would fly.
These tablets are only good for the operating system they came with from the factory.

While an Atom processor is certainly no fun (I have an old Dell Inspiron mini 1018, so I know how it feels), it can be faster than you think.
That old laptop (it was also my first laptop) has a single core Atom CPU, from the N series (the N455), and I was running it with Windows 7.
While it does not have an OS right now (I accidentally broke the keyboard connector on the motherboard while testing RAM sticks for work (I volunteered to do this), and salvaged the hard drive for my desktop (I have 12 hard drives, and 10 trays, 2 of which are are for 2.5" drives. The hard drives were all, save for one, which was bought second hand together with the computer (the case was bought seperately), salvaged from old PCs that people had thrown away), it runs alright on Ubuntu (and slightly better on Solus), however you have a quad-core Atom, which also generates less heat (so less throttling), so it will run much better.
I am not saying that the OS will fly, after all, it does not have a core i3 CPU, however it will outperform your expectation.
Thanks. Today I can't wait to get home to the Android box being delivered.
When I get some time....i will try to load 18.04 and report back. Thanks again.
