Hi everybody,
I am writing you to have some help with my 10'' Tab.
I bought an android tab, but I can not figure out which kind of tab is. In particular on the box there are the following information:
Epad M10
TN screen 1024x600
VMicro VC882 ARM Cortex A8 @ 1 GHz
512 Mb
4 Gb
Resistive dual touch
Gravity sensor
Webcam 0.3
But on the back of the tablet there is the following code: ZT-283
Furthermore using "Developer Device Info" app:
- Build.CPU_ABI == armeabi-v7a
- Build.DEVICE == vortex
- Build.HARDWARE == vimicrovortexboard
- Build.MODEL == MID_Serials
- Build.PRODUCT == cb7033_vortex
- Android version: 4.0.3
- Kernel: 3.0.8-vimicro
Since I would like to update botloader, kernel and Android (as I have done with my mobile) I need to find out which kind of device I have and where (if you know) I can find custom rom.
So I am writing you because using google I was not able to understand which tab I have and where to find a forum for custom rom.
Thank you,
It appears to be a generic tablet and 9 times out of 10 there is no development at all for them due to lack of kernel source code being released and lack of developer support due to it.

Hi zelendel, thanks for your reply.
So that means that I can neither use this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1615415
Searching a little bit I was starting to think that what matter is the kind of processor (in my case VMicro VC882).
Thnak you for your help, I need to understand this issue.

There's a lot more to it than the processor. If you can't find a rom specific to your device you most likely will brick it. I'd stay stock and be happy with what you have.
Edit a Google search for zt-283 shows it as a zenith think. You might look there.

[SIZE=+1]This a short list of frequently asked questions in this device forum and the answers often given as a response. It should serve as a starting point for gathering knowledge and finding solutions to many common problems. Please only post in this thread with feedback on how to improve this document. Do not post "Thank you" type responses. If you have additional questions or require more help, try to find an existing thread or create your own. Do not use this as a general help thread.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]Q1: I would like to know what's inside my device?[/SIZE]
Please check here for your device's specifications:

[SIZE=+1]Q2: Where can I find the USB drivers for my device without installing Kies?[/SIZE]
Here you will find them: Samsung USB Drivers
[SIZE=+1]Q3: What is root?[/SIZE]
To access root in Linux means that you have full administrative rights over your device and achieve things that you could never do before if you haven't done so. It can be pretty risky if you don't know what are you doing so be warned!!
But remember this: When you aren't root, you are the user of the device. When you're rooted, you are the owner of it.:good:
[SIZE=+1]Q4: How do I root my SGP?[/SIZE]
The prefered method is using Odin or heimdall to flash an insecure kernel or a custom rom which will enable root for you. You should find them in the android development section.
[SIZE=+1]Q5: Ok that's cool but i'm kinda new here and I don't know how to use those programs?[/SIZE]
Here's a link to help you

[SIZE=+1]Q6: What is a custom recovery?[/SIZE]
A custom recovery is mostly the native android recovery modified from the source to feature multiple options like backup a whole ROM or flashing a rom for example. The most known one and the only one available for our devices is the ClockWorkmod Recovery or commonly called CWM.
[SIZE=+1]Q7: How can I get CWM?[/SIZE]
Flash a custom kernel with CWM support.

[SIZE=+1]Q12: What is ADB?[/SIZE]
Please see this thread for all ADB information:
Full ADB guide
[SIZE=+1]Q13: What the heck is the cat on a log?[/SIZE]
Well logcat isn't a cat on a log. It's a system element from android used to record the system logs. This is the most efficient way of squashing bugs when developpers are facing problems. To use logcat, you will need ADB. See Q10 for setting ADB.
This is how you can see logcat
Code:
adb logcat
This is how you can save a logcat into your computer
Code:
adb logcat -d > logcat.txt
[SIZE=+1]Q14: What are custom ROMS?[/SIZE]
Custom roms are modified software made in order to offer more features and options. There's 2 types of custom roms: the stock based ones and AOSP ones
Stock: They are based from the manufacturer's original firmware.
AOSP: They are compiled from the android source and provides a pure stock experience if the manufacturer have an interface overlay. They often offer much more and unique options than stock roms. (like Cyanogenmod, AOKP, or ParanoidAndroid for example)
[SIZE=+1]Q15: Nice! how can I flash those ROMS??[/SIZE]
Normaly the roms threads should have the necessary instructions in order to flash them.
[SIZE=+1]Q16: Why I can see my cell standby percentage when my device is a PMP?[/SIZE]
Well... Android is first and most a mobile phone, tablet OS and not a PMP OS. The OS think you're a phone and then use cell standby but don't worry, there's no battery life extracted from there.
[SIZE=+1]Q17: What is the best kernel/ROM?[/SIZE]
There's not really best kernels and roms. Just try them out and see which one you prefer.

Batter life
So now that i understand that the cell by is nothing to worry about, but because its a software issue the batter% shows it drains rapidly. What do we do when it says we only have 10% left? charge it? because that would be daily, or will it keep running?
Thanks

There's a big difference between determining what programs are using a certain percentage of the battery (it's based on CPU time and network use), and how much total battery has been used (based on voltages). I would say the total battery percentage left is mostly accurate, but it's not quite (see attached screenshot) (at least it could be tweaked a bit). But I still recommend you to charge it at 10% to ensure future battery capacity. If you drain it too much, it will wear down -- in the screenshot, I had accidentally left it on for a week.
Galaxy 5.8 information
Howdy, I'm a long time lurker on the forums; have a rooted Samsung Galaxy S (AT&T) from several years ago and recently nabbed a new gadget on a business trip to Korea. I got a Samsung Galaxy Player 5.8 for $220 and thought it should be relatively simple to root. I was wrong.
Can we add information about the Samsung Galaxy Player 5.8?
Model: YP-GP1
Android: 4.0.4
Kernel: 3.0.8-1168015 [email protected] #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Dec 7 20:57:12 KST 2012
Build#: IMM76D.GP1KRALL1
FM Radio: Works in Korea; not so much anywhere else. It finds stations during search but only plays static. (Tried Spirit UL its not happy either. It reports that it cannot access the FM tuner. Maybe it needs root?)
TV Tuner: Same as the FM Radio // Frequency differences?
Storage: 16 GB (expandable with sdcard slot)
Screen: 960 px x 540 px / Capacitive / Multi-touch
Network: 802.11g,b,n
GPS
Bluetooth (can't tell what version, the manual is Korean; I assume its BT3.0)
Battery life is good, runs for a few days on a single charge with power saving enabled.
Haven't used it for any really fun stuff as I can't seem to get root on it. All the ICS 4.0.4 rooting methods on this site have failed.
Going to look at the kernel source from Samsung and see if I can make heads or tails of it.

There's not really anything about the 5.8 so I don't think I will add something for it as of right now. As of spirit, you need to be rooted in order to use it. As for t-dmb, (tv) you can only use it in South Korea (exclusive technology).

I rooted this device by finding an update.zip on a chinese forum, since april i see it is already here too
Now i want to use a DSLR with the Tablett but OTG seems not be correct implemented or 100% working with the camera.
I already posted a threat to DSLR Controller in this forum but meanwhile i would be interested if there is a way
to install a custom kernel or custom firmware like Venom (Viper) / Cynogen?

A Friend of mine got a Galaxy Nexus 7 and could install with no problem a windows.
Is there no way to install a custom kernel or custom rom on it, if which one could be the right one?
Any help appriciated
Primary target so far i want to make a recovery like i can do now with 4ext Recovery on my HTC Sensation with VIPERS.
If you are interested there is an English forum for the Galapad here at slatedroid.
Hopefully we get some update there.
Hi, I am considering buying the same galapad 7, for the same purpose dslr ptp.
@Ebshow: the link you mentioned does not contain any info about OTG
@cobra98: did you manage to make the OTG working?
thanks
Yes, otg works. Wireless KB and mouse also works.
If you consider to buy one, be sure to get atleast the 16Gb version. 8 fills up easy.
I can't root this device and I can't move programs to sd card. What should I do?
Was anyone ever able to get source code from the company?
Hi, anyone knows what rom to install in this device to make it run atleast android 5?
Thanks!
Dear Team,
I'm quite new in this Forum and I'm sorry If this 3d is not in the right section
I'm going to "play" with my New Cisco Dx80 device, I would like to install a Standard Android Firmware.
At the moment there is an installtion of Cisco Customized Android 4.1.1 .
The Devices is based on ARM Cortex A9 @ 1.5Ghz with GPU PowerVr SGX544.
Using EsFile Explorer, I found in /system/app several apk including Galaxy4.apk, Galaxy4.odex ; seems that Cisco take the firmware somewhere (from galaxyS4?) and customized it according their needs; also the Couple A9+SGX544 seems like the same of several Galaxy S4 hardware.
The question is : there is a way to install "general" Android firmware release (rooted) that is compliant with the describer hardware ?
Thanks a lot.
Cisco DX80 Device
Did you ever find a way to put a generic Android release on this device ? I'm in the same situation with a DX80 and would just like to get a more current version of Android for it.
Thanks

Damn I wish someone had figured something out for this, cause I would really like to know too
the same question and really appreciate if someone can give it a better custom ROM to explore
Thank you guys!
Is there any updated android software for the Dx80 conference device; or best software availavble download? If so, please pst me with link or info how I can get this device working. Thank you in advance for your assistance.
I have a tablet which can't find the firmware, and trying to develop the mine.
I was reading tutorials and information that find and some well have some questions.
I downloaded a firmware with Android 4.4.2, "installed" and runs good, except that:
Don't works WiFi
Don't works Cameras
Don't have Phone app, i assume that no detect the "3g"
I do not know as they are known the "drivers", are obtained or how are modified.
Upon installation of the firmware, using a computer mechanism, successfully extracted, from the gadget unchanged, with Android 4.4.4, the files:
boot.img
bootloader.img
data.tgz
recovery.img
system.img
system.tgz
Any information that is useful to the case, do not hesitate to ask.
From already thanks and hope, apologize for the lack of appropriate language.

Got rebranded android device - Need to figure out if there is a custom ROM I can load
Fair warning - I'm an android noob.
I'm have a rebranded android phone and I'm trying to find alternate ROM's for it.
The phone has the following specs:
Brand: AG Mobile
Model: AG Chrome Swift
Operating System: Android 4.4.2
Display 4.5" FWVGA
Memory 4G+512MB
CPU 1.2G Dualcore
Manufacturer refuses to release their ROM's, updates are non-existent. I'm hoping this is simply a re-branded HTC or something similar that I could an alternate ROM on.
When I used the APK Installer detector app it picked it up as:
Manufacturer: HTC
Description: YunOS ACB Interface
Any assistance to figure this out will be greatly appreciated.
It is a knock off device. You are out of luck to be honest. No one develops for knock off device.
Thanks man - possibly not the right forum for this: Is it possible to get a ROM off a working model to re-flash another?
Would solve at least one of my headaches here (and thanks in advance for any help!)
No because you will need a custom recovery to flash it.
