Hi I thought we could post here in one place our initial impressions of the Marshmallow release of Remix OS 3.0.101
Here are mine:
Positive:
1 First, thanks to all the devs at Jide and especially Chih-Wei Huang
2 Ethernet connection works fine (fortunately)
3 Glad to see that I could activate Play Store from command line as in earlier releases
4 So far seems smooth and fast; will load it up with apps to see if it slows down
5 Glad to find that it's already rooted (yea)
Not Positive:
1 Needs way to disable touchpad, as it is not needed for those of us with touchscreens (perhaps it's there but I did not find it)
2 Suggest way to reverse launch bar for right- or left-handed users
3 Wifi is broken for me with BroadCom chip BCM43228
I'm not a gamer, so hopefully some of you can put in your thoughts
A few more:
Positive :
1 Maps doesn't freeze anymore
2. Nova Launcher works well
3 Partial function of LMT Launcher (left only)
4 Windowing working very smoothly
5 Over 70 common apps tested and working
6 Screen brightness is working again
Not Positive:
1 Location not working (possibly because I have to use ethernet since wifi not functioning?)
2 cannot modify file excluded-input-devices. xml to disable the TouchPad
Nova Launcher working very nicely.
This version is really exciting, so much potential. On my Asus K55 everything seems to work well.

I just found remix OS 3.0 CRASH every times when a game try to use open GL es 3.0 and 3.1 with a Nvidia GTX 760....
very bad...

Without hacking, disable things and stuff?
positive:
1) all apps now work as windows (hangouts didn't for example before)
2) less overheating (even though still not ideal)
3) better resizing (easier to grab the edge of the window)
4) finally google maps work (and google photos too!)
5) new settings ui is superb
6) finally there is built-in root functionality
7) finally there is native brightness control
negative:
1) window snap-in is gone (before, bu dragging a window to the left or right edge, it woild resize to half the screen)
2) the google play music notification has white text on white background
3) the native root doesn't allow uninstalling apps (or is it just me?)
4) app launch time is still a problem and the window cannot be dragged until the app has fully loaded

how the heck did you get that to work? i tried the method from lollipop, where you root, install nova and then uninstall the native launcher, but the built-in root access somehow doesn't let me uninstall system apps (but root checker says i'm rooted and kernel adiutor works etc...)
EDIT:
oh nevermind, i got it for anyone having the same issue, just enable root and use sd maid to freeze the stock launcher
When i try to update my apps in playstore i get this error.

Well OK first you need to download the launcher from the Play Store.
Then it does take 3 commands:
pm disable com.jide.filelauncher
pm disable com.android.launcher3
pm disable com.google.android.launcher.layouts.device

Yes this is because 3.0.101 has read-only. @HypoTurtle can we change this? I would like to modify some things in system too.
How to fix WiFi? I'm have a notebook with Intel i3 chipset! ?

On the gamer side it is disappointing.
2d games work. But 3D games have problems with video acceleration.
Open gl Es 2.0 works great.
But open gl Es 3.0 and 3.1 just totally freeze remix os on supported nvidia cards like the gtx 760.
And still no sound output selection for hdmi audio.
This is just a bad version here.
This version won't boot on my tablet (it goes from the boot animation to a cursor in the corner and then reboots). I'm going to try the 32-bit version shortly, even though I have a EFI-based system and see if that works.
changing orientation
Very smooth and running well. Apart from the points mentioned by others, the rotation from landscape to portrait mode is not working. I run Remix OS on surface pro 3 Dual boot.

I just received my Archos 101 yesterday, and after loading a few apps, some music/video on the external sd card, froyo, and LauncherPro, the tablet is extremely slow - to the point where it's not as 'responsive' as it used to be. Has anyone found anything (e.g. lagfix) that makes it a bit faster? I want to love this tablet because of the hell I had to go through with Amazon to get it, but it's really making me pissed off as of lately. Any help would be great - thanks in advance.
install os monitor, sort processes by cpu load and tell us if anything is eating all the CPU
http://www.appbrain.com/app/os-monitor/com.eolwral.osmonitor
I noticed the same thing on my A70. I switched from Launcher Pro to ADW launcher and it's noticably smoother without uninstalling anything else.
Why does os monitor show it is using 40% of my cpu?
Go to Settings / About Device
Register and upgrade your firmware to 2.0.71.
Go To Settings / About Device Power Management /
click on Overdrive
Go To Settings / Repair & formating / calibrate touch screen and accelerometer
do a google searck for gAppsinstaller_v4.apk
keep clicking untill it is installed on your device.
You will now have full google market.
Go to google market - Get Dolphin Browser - make it your default
go to google market - get vplayer beta to play all flash and other videos
recomended google market - get videos
google market - i music
Should be flying now - If running slow - go to desktop - click on system monitor - stop all programs - should be flying again -
tip - firefox is really slow and crashes?? dont install
When using touch screen never push hard - A light quick brushing action works best - or a light quick tap - always light on your fingertips -
tip - do not try to root - not necessary with overdrive setting - full root will come someday. No root is working right now for this firmware.
Good luck
David
i almost forgot
dont forget to go to android market and download and install adobe flash.
Try to erase all Mediafiles and reboot.
If your A101 is faster then you have a File that breaks the mediascanner.
Also if you are still on 2.1 the Mediascanner is running at every boot and scanns every file.
This has been fixed with the last FW.
Alright I did everything you guys have recommended and it is signficantly faster now. I think my biggest problem was that I didn't realize how sensitive the screen is compared to my Captivate. Also, is there any point in setting the cpu to 1000mhz using z4root/setcpu? (haven't been able to get that to work anyways, z4mod just freezes).
I got my Arcos 101 about a week ago and noticed the horrible sluggishness too. I tried doing the firmware update to Froyo and it was still sluggish. I'm now sure exactly what the option was called, but after the Froyo update, I went into settings and did a full format on the device. It reloaded everything from scratch, but I lost all of the 3rd party apps. So I called Archos and they pointed me to ftp://support.archos.com. There is a file called A101 HDD Contents.zip Just download it and unzip the folders. In one of the folders is the Archos customizations (apk files). Just install whatever programs you want and you will be back in business.
One other thing, you will need to set your CPU speed to Performance to get the 1ghz speed. The 2.0.71 build downclocks the cpu to 800mhz.
Oh, and I'm in the same boat with not being able to Root my device. Please z4root creator, fix this.
@dijitalm:
You don't need root for 1Ghz as you can easily set this in the normal settings.
And before you try again, neither z4root nor any other sw that uses rageagainstthecage is working.
The main reason I need root is to get my Tablet to see Ad-Hoc Networks. Specifically I have WIFI Router on my phone and my laptop sees/connects to the phone fine, but the tablet will not see the access point. I know that there are fixes for this that people have come up with but it requires root access.
Oh, and I have a Windows based phone (Touch Pro 2), so I can't get the bluetooth tethering option to work either.

Hmm. Others have gotten WM phones to work with BT tethering.
When I try to associate the Archos 101, they attempt to pair and then my phone says "it (the tablet) doesn't have any services that we are interested in". That statement on my phone is so enfuriating because I'll be the judge of what services I'm interested in having my phone use. My old XV6800 (Titan) did bluetooth tethering like a charm, and if it were still alive, I'd even consider going back to it.
Yup I'd be happy non rooting it if I could just get tethering to work.

I tried what is on post #5 here and this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10022941&postcount=4
so far, the combination of both things have made a big difference in the performance of my A70. It's a pretty smooth experience now.
ADW and Launcher Pro
I'm glad my help with Launcher Pro helped you. I installed the new ADW Launcher EX yesterday. I will have to say, It is faster depending on the settings. I used the "Fast" [reset profile. Right off the bat it was flying faster than launcher pro. I would suggest that launcher now that it has been revamped.

Latest release: 9.20120817
CyanogenMod 9 + custom kernel + extras + latest fixes
This is a Kang of latest CyanogenMod 9 repo, 100% built from source, with patches applied, and a custom kernel. Patches I include are typically un-merged submissions or features that have been rejected from CM, AOSP and Codeaurora.
The builds I post are my "daily driver". I only post updates when source code changes are beneficial to our platform, add functionality, or fix usability bugs.

Installation
I personally recommend using Team Win Recovery Project instead of Clockwork Recovery Mod for installing ROM's. It integrates very well with Goo Manager.
1. Download latest release from goo.im or use Goo Manager.
2. Reboot into recovery (TWRP preferred.)
3. Format Cache & Clear Dalvik.
4. Flash zip downloaded in step #1. If you're NOT coming from a CM9 based rom or upgrading, you must "Factory Reset" (format data and cache partitions 3x).
6. Install Google Apps downloaded in step #1.
7. Format Cache & Wipe Dalvik, yes... again.
8. Reboot
If things seem to be weird, repeat the steps again.
Problems / Support
I do not provide support through this forum, only release announcements. I am happy to investigate issues but they must be submitted to the github project.
Let's give this a try
OK, moving my initial impressions from second page as it answers some questions. Overall everyone's impressions appear to be great.
Also running now. I loaded it on top of Perfection rom.
Wow, the ICS unlocker has camera and unlock feature and no old-style unlocker in the other half of screen (that's fresh, though this is how it was intended to be).
Getting used to this rom.
First impressions - running smoothly.
Seems like no playstore installed so need to understand how to access playstore (trying the web though download didn't seem to start) to get titanium backup. Also trying to see how to access filesystem.
Edit - just need to load gapps from first post - seems like it's a must, not a nice to have.
Some observations - haptic feedback doesn't work on some buttons which appears random. Also no backlight on the capacitive buttons though they work fine.
Edit - found ability to enable capacitive buttons backlight in Settings -> Advanced->Sensors, though that keeps backlight on whenecer screen is active. And lockscreen customizations are impressive.
Also interestingly I noticed in terminal emulator that SD folder lacks external sd card.
Edit - connected through USB cable. Dalvik works fine, can view files in file browser. Interesting. internal sdcard is mounted in mnt/emmc while external sdcard is mnt/sdcard. Also windows recognizes to removable drives when the phone is connected but those are not accessible. Again, need to read up on basic CM9 functionality.
Overall very smooth, no FC so far.
I'm looking to see feedback from those who may be familiar with CM9 from using other phones (this is totally new to me).
Another thing (not exactly related but what can make initial setup a lot simpler) that I need to read more about is the way to get apps stored externally as done in Hybrid rom if I'm not mistaken) - that way the apps get ported to whatever rom you install. I need to understand how that works.
And yes, setting DPI to 213 enables tablet UI, as already mentioned. Now I see why capacitive buttons are not backlit. Though in tablet mode the dock disappears. Thinking of trying go launcher but not sure if trebuchet-integrated settings items will work well with that change or will become redundant.
Also as mentioned already the camera preview is messed up though rotating camera helps(fixed now).
You need to download s-note apk as that is not included. Though at this moment apk doesn't install.
Another thing to get used to is the speed indicator (H instead of 4g for instance). Also dsmitty reported that black crush is gone.
Yup downloading now slowly but surely, will leave feedback in this post after flash
ill keep adding to this as i find things.
works:
both cards mount to pc
sound
camera *you get artifacts on screen but picture is fine in tablet mode*
camcorder 1080p works. *same artifacts as camera in tablet mode*
theme chooser
tablet mode *160dpi*
doesnt work:

Yep, I was surprised at the size also. But then again it includes zero bloat and no google apps (which are +50 mb for just gmail, play store and talk).
** FYI: No real S-pen support yet. I was just playing around with the pen... on man is it sensitive. I can pull it about 1/4 inch off the screen and still use it.

Instagram might work in different dpi
Still testing

Thanks bro...will check out
Just got one to play with. and so far feeling ok with it..
But..
Why would you go and make the "Back, Home, Resent apps" buttons that are core to Android not be there?
Anyway, I got a feeling its only going to be an edit of a system file and we should be able to get them back working..
Its running JB 4.1.2
Anyone got any idea's how I can go about doing this?
As I am using team EOS 4 on the TF101, with thier nice way of having seperate EOS ability to edit the size, postion of these buttons in question..
Is is fesiable for me to grab the EOS apk and move it into this Rom an see if it works?
I am also thinking that something like LMK might be able to work too, but would have to be worked via mouse inputs not touch..
Any pointers in the right direction would be great thanks..
Also, I will use this thread ed as a bit of a collection of handy hints for these box's as I am sure they are going to up there in the development circle once they become a bit more available to the masses..

I know there are many posts about this but it took me a while to understand how it works and there is no single thread which has the information gathered in the first post, so I decided to make this. Sorry if it uneeded.
Anyone who want's to use on screen NavBar buttons, he's lucky! (at least compared to ICS).
Now, by adding in
the line
you get the navigation bar (after reboot) and at the same time Android system recognizes this and adds the three dot menu icon whenever needed*!
If you want to disable the hardware keys, edit the file
These are the three hardware buttons
Add a # before any you don't wan't to use any more. I did for 158 and 139 and left my Home button working.
There is a mod** (flash it in recovery) which makes the bar almost half the size. It's better looking and less space is wasted but it does get some time to get used to it and you might need a couple of tries sometimes when trying to hit those buttons.
*This wasn't the case for ICS.

Haven't had much time to put it through its paces as been travelling for work.
But here are some thoughts on it so far..
I have just upgraded to "update_Mygica_20130314.img"
http://up.stdvr.com/mygica/android/A...a_20130314.img
Like the new bigger pointer for the mouse, also it seems to have brought back the remote controls as I had lost those but I still have to manually turn it off.
I swap out the Chinese launcher with Apex launcher - Apex runs nicely and can back up all the settings and screens so are happy with this.
Speeds and Kernel controls :
As pretty much the same as the M1-M3 box's - until we have developers that are hacking these to suit our needs we are locked in the the Geniatech/MyGicia/Privos setting's - Which I hope in the not to distant future we get some of the phone/Tablet kernel guru's turning up and opening these kernels up for us to adjust the speeds in which these can run.
Using CPU Master I am able to get it to run @ 1540 after boot but the settings don't stick and from the readings I have done this is in the way they have setup the Init.d..
What is Init.d?

How I do it -XBMC-addons
As I seem to be installing multi-able versions of XMBC and or firmware upgrades, I have now got a set pattern in which I can reset most of my fav addons back up.. it maybe a little long winded for some but works for me as I find that I lose addons if I don't keep track of them thus I have them saved to a NAS drive. I access them via this method to re-setup.
1: Load the NAS directory up using CIF manager.
2: In XBMC -Go in to "System-Addons-install from zip
3: Go in to "Root file system" then "mnt" then 'cifs' then a 'XBMC' directory where I keep a backup of all my depositories that I use. ( over the last 12 months I have collected a nice bunch of them from around the traps)
Remotes:
Droidmote : I had it going the first time I set the box up in a hotel room using my Asus portable wifi router and had the accelerometer working nicely on a few games. but since I have been back to my home network I have not been able to get it to work - just tested it with that modem again and its not working, so i would say the uniput needs to be loaded up via a script again. Will play with it when get time.

Not a lot of info on this one but it works nicely with my tf101 and this box.. what I like about it.. just works..
Finds the box and away we go.. wish Droidmote was that easy.
Got a thread on XDA on it.. so hopefully it gets picked up a bit more and some more work done it on..

Also been playing with this one.. but cant seem to get it to work.. got the server side apk but as yet, I am not sure if it will only go with the A8 but I have read somewhere that others have had it going but not sure on what hardware.
I got a feeling that you have to have the bubblepnp going then this may work in with this server and remote.
just haven't had enough time to play.

Chinese TV apks
As I am here in the middle kingdom- I have to have things to entertain the guests so found this bundle - I am not sure how many will work outside of China but some are actually pretty good once you get the hang of how to use them. (no my Chinese is not that great).. a lot will update so this is normal.. just work out which is "yes" and which is "no"
(Will post the link once its loaded to Dropbox)

Cant pin it down to anyone one thing as yet..
Doesn't seem to get hot so thats not it as I have a USB laptop fan under it, seems to be when I change out to another input on the TV and or I leave it idle for some time, kinda goes in to sleep and not come out it.. got to reboot.
Another thing on the lastest MyGica roms is the lack of Home' 'Back' 'Search' 'Back' 'Recent Task' 'Menu' buttons.

New firmware..
http://www.geniatech.com/down-eng/androidtvbox/update_spi_mx_20130326.zip
http://www.geniatech.com/down-eng/androi...130326.zip
Downlload and don't unzip, copy to SD card or USB disk, connect to the box and run upgrade->local update, select the SPI file to update first, after finished, it will restart the box, then, do the same steps to update the firmware, and XBMC is still xbmcapp-armeabi-v7a-debug-20130223.apk.
Above is a new firmware for Geniatech's dual core box, it fixed 4:3/16:9 aspect ratio and android bar problems of XBMC.

Upgraded to this one today.. Working smoothly.
Haven't had time to play with XBMC builds on it but was streaming off PPTV most of the day..
Not sure if it was the box or the network.. Seemed to encounter the ethernet problem after about 2 hours where the stream was caught up.
Switched out to wifi and ran the same stream for a while.. Then switched back to ethernet and no problems.. Maybe a net problem and or that old bug is still hanging round..
Overall zippy as hell but I am also running the Seeder app to keep the Random Entropy up to 4096.
We can clock up to 1512mhz and change out to performance governor but min seems to be locked in at 48mhz which seems a bit low.
But with that being said.. It shows that it actually sits down between 72mhz & 336mhz on low loads.
Navigation buttons are back plus a new screen shot one..
I also noticed in settings there is a new EASYLINK option.. Maybe some like a new remote control app or airplay?
Anyone got info on it?

has anybody used the component out on a mygica atv1200? i swear the blue and green are reversed. i've tried 2 sets of cables. i hooked from mygica to computer and tv. both will not display until i put blue cable in green and green in blue on the mygica box.. and obviously when i do this it messes up the colors. has anyone else noticed this? i tried taking out the hdmi as well and got the same results. i'd love it if someone could confirm i'm either right, or i simply have a bad box. thanks. i've also tried with different firmwares. including the 3/26. i'm now on 1/15.
Did anybody try that DroidMote server. I think I have problem with that uinput. I've downloaded it and made som changes with terminal emulator following instructions, still no moves... Please advice...
make sure it is rooted and goto the system folder and edit build.prop and add a line of code on a new line at the bottom:
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
and reboot the device to get those buttons.

Works out of the box for me..
One thing I do is test the network I am on..
i.e test it with my TF-001 to make sure its working, then test it on the ATV1200.
As my other box I had to do some mods on it to get it to work..
but overall works great.. play a few games with it..

Thanks for answer. It works nice on the new firmware!
Another question. I faced to weird shutdowns during normal operation (browsing, video playing). It happens very frequently and I did everything, updated firmware, did several resets - no success. Any suggestions what it might be?
ADD
I found that it was not device issue but my TV set... It works smoothly on my neighbour's TV. If I could only know that they'll be incompatible... TV Firmware update - no success. Buying new TV for my box is ridiculous

How I do it -XBMC-addons
As I seem to be installing multi-able versions of XMBC and or firmware upgrades, I have now got a set pattern in which I can reset most of my fav addons back up.. it maybe a little long winded for some but works for me as I find that I lose addons if I don't keep track of them thus I have them saved to a NAS drive. I access them via this method to re-setup.
1: Load the NAS directory up using CIF manager.
2: In XBMC -Go in to "System-Addons-install from zip
3: Go in to "Root file system" then "mnt" then 'cifs' then a 'XBMC' directory where I keep a backup of all my depositories that I use. ( over the last 12 months I have collected a nice bunch of them from around the traps)

Bear' before I reply I need to check my setup again to see what is what..
Just shifted cities here in China so its been a big few weeks..
I have got the box working into the Synology NAS and it is working without me playing with the CIFs setup.
But I have used the Networking program that came with the firmware and set it to auto mount the video and TV folders on the NAS.
I also need to find some time to setup XBMC again due to this new update.
And also test the new internet connection I have got..

I am getting a Green light on the box and it won't respond anymore. This happens when I leave it sit for a while. Any help? Seems to be some kind of sleep or standby, but it won't wake from it unless I unplug it and then plug it back in.

Before posting, please use the forum search and read through the discussion thread for [ROM] Sero 7 Pro (US) - AOSP 4.4.4_r2 DoPa v2.51. If you can't find an answer, post it here, being sure to give as much information as possible (firmware version, steps to reproduce, logcat if available) so that you can get help.
Thanks for understanding and for helping to keep XDA neat and tidy!
Upgrade to V2.6
I "upgraded" to v2.6 beta1 from v2.51. With V2.51 with overclocking and Nexus7 spoof. After "upgrade" I had to reload GAPPS to get Playstore to work. As an aside, I also reinstalled the Nexus7 spoof. I also use SetCPU to manage overclocking. I am not sure that I have gained anything over v2.51 but am quite pleased with the performance.
Thanks dolorespark.

You got a unified kernel (no more separate installation) that uses less power than the previous overclocked version. At speeds up to 1.3ghz, it's the same as the previous standard kernel. The GPU's default speed has been upped to 448mhz from 416mhz at little cost; however, if you overclock it to 520mhz, it will use more power than previously. Also, if you use exFAT-formatted SD cards, you should find their performance is significantly improved.
BTW... you really shouldn't use the Nexus spoof from a previous version - other info in the file (build.prop) such as the version number may be incorrect.
Wiimote older and newer (motionplus) pairing correctly
Hello,
With the latest beta version of the rom I was able to successfully pair the older and the newer (motionplus) wiimote with the sero 7 pro. Had to use the Wii classic corded controller connected to the wiimote for game use. Was able to play vice city with the classic controller without having to change any of the button mappings.
Hope this helps.

SD Card
I have a question. Im Using a Hisense Sero 7 Pro and have Rooted it with sero7pro-philz6.58.0-dopa-v2.6, Installed sero7pro-aosp444-dopa-v2.6 ROM and pa_gapps-modular-micro-4.4.4-20141110-signed. But just like with the stock ROM I cannot move apps to the SDcard I installed in it, I have tried 3 different cards and all the same, since I am new to Android can someone help me figure this out?
Just wanted to say thanks!
We often take you guys for granted, and wanted to take a moment to say thanks so much for all your time and hard work on such a solid rom..best I have tried for the Sero7 Pro..everything works and no crashes!
..So Thanks.
Active speakers
Hello, I noticed something peculiar about my sero 7 pro and was wondering if anyone else has this problem.
When I hit the power button to turn ON the lockscreen (from sleep) and then tap it again to sleep, I hear a low continuous hum or hissing sound from the speakers (barely audible). It's not that big a deal since I can fully unlock to home screen and then put it to sleep (which stops active speakers).
I only bring this up because it's a noticeable drain on my battery when my tablet is on sleep. I'm using current dopa 2.6/philz touch. If it's just me, I'll probably backup and re-flash again sometime later.
not working
I flashed this rom but my gmail crashed. I did it again and again but it is still crashing.
Stock AOSP Rom
@dolorespark
You think you can release a version of this ROM (5.0 Lollipop) that is completely AOSP? I don't like having third party software such as SU, Xposed, GravityBox, etc pre-installed. Let alone not having selinux in enforcing mode. It would be nice to see another build for it that retains a completely original AOSP ROM (other than the tweaks in order to get it running on the Sero 7 Pro).
Buggy Overclocking
@dolorespark
It would seem in Lollipop Beta 1 that the overclocking module is easily bugged. After switching the clock frequencies a few times the settings bugs and ends up frozen to stock clocks.
Just a few things I've found on the newest beta 5.0
Hey dolorespark,
I've been using the AOSP 4.4.4 on my Sero 7 pro for some time now and loved it. Currently I'm waiting for my Moto G 2013 to get the official Android Lollipop from Motorola, but I saw that the love has already come to the Sero 7 thanks to you. Grats on that. I installed the newest beta on my Sero 7 Pro last night (AOSP 5.0.0_r7) and I have only noticed a few things of mention that you might not be aware of:
The wifi status page (link speed and what have you) is corrupted in portrait, but fine in landscape.
Periodically, the lock/power button hard resets the tablet instead of locking the screen.
The last thing I've noticed so far is that the notification bar will overtake the soft buttons at the bottom of the screen while in certain apps, one example being Google Play. If you swipe down the notification drawer, the bar at the top will clone itself over the buttons at the bottom while the drawer is open, and will disappear once the drawer is closed. Saving a screenshot of this occuring was impossible as the screenshot removed the bar and restored it after it had been saved.
The attachments are of the statusbar issue and the wifi page curruption. Nothing game breaking just a few things i've noticed playing around with this build.

Problems installing fastboot in Post #1 of main thread
I am trying to follow the instructions in the #1 post of this thread to install 4.4.2. on a stock Sero 7 Pro and cannot get this to work to install the philz.img file:
plug the USB cable from your PC into the tablet, then install the driver (open Device Manager, right click on "Other Devices->Fastboot", then select "Update Driver Software")
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
When I open Device Manager in Win 7 Home Premium there is nothing like "Other Devices->Fastboot" listed. I tried Add Device from the Control Panel and it found nothing.
I already ran >step0-DoItAll.bat< from this thread and it completed everything sucessfully.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!
Steve Ahola
P.S. I have been running DOPA 2.20 on a different Sero 7 for several months now and it has been great! BTW I have tried several different CPU tuners and I think that the CPU tuner in 3C Toolbox (formerly Android Toolbox) seems to work the best as it controls all 4 processors independently. I use the premium version but the free version also has this module.
Is your Sero booted to fastboot mode?

After reading this, I tried changing speeds many, many times and never had any problems.
I don't know if this applies here, but in general, don't judge the ROM's performance based on your first bootup after installation. It has to do a tremendous amount of work to get set up, and not all of the loose ends get tied up until it has had a chance to shut down and restart. Do some minor config stuff on that first boot, then reboot before putting it through its paces.

I noticed that and thought it odd but it didn't really register with me as a bug. If it is, I'll have to leave it to Google to fix. Chances are that it will be many months before Google has all these little bits and pieces taken care of - and maybe as much as a year before Lollipop comes across as really solid and reliable.

If you already installed the drivers for ADB, then there's nothing else to be done - Fastboot uses the same driver. As someone else asked, are you in Fastboot mode? Disconnect any USB cable, hold down Volume-Up and Power, and wait for the word "Fastboot" to appear. Nothing further will appear on the screen - it's all done from the PC.

I'll have to look at this util to see what it offers, but I really doubt it can control each core independently. All four use the same clock, so if one is running at, say, 1.3ghz, all of the other cores that are online have to run at the same speed.
Thanks for your quick reply! I finally got ADB working by running your BAT file a second time. I still couldn't get Philz installed through ADB so I ended up installing CWM 6.0.4.5 from a different site and then followed your instructions to replace that with Philz. (CWM 6.0.4.5 aborted 1/2 way through install of your ROM which kinda freaked me out but Philz made everything good.
Many thanks not just for your excellent ROMs but also for the great instructions that you post here on XDA. I really like ROMs with the fewest bells and whistles which give the apps you are running more horsepower. BTW TKruzze's minimal GAapps files make your ROMs even more sleek. Its like my Sero tablet died and went to heaven!
Steve
P.S. As for 3C Toolbox (formerly Android Tuner) while all CPUs must be set to the same frequency as you said the app can put them offline independently as needed. I will post links to screenshots showing that. I've tried CPU Tuner, Set CPU, Juice Defender and ROM Toolbox Pro on 10 different Android tablets and I've gotten the best battery life when on or on standby with Android Tuner. (I leave some of them on just to test battery draw in standby mode and I have gotten over 18 days on one of them which would go dead after a day or two before I rooted it.)
The free version has ads that pop up when you are finished with the other modules but since the CPU tuner runs in the background there is no difference between the free and paid versions. But I really like their file explorer which does work better in the paid version.

I have a Kobo Vox Tablet, Its running Android 2.3.4 with a 800 MHz processor and 512MB of RAM.
I've been looking into various forums and sources to root and/or create a custom rom for the device.
I did try gingerbreak and one click root and both failed after multiple attempts.
Due to Android 2.3.4 the limitation of apps is ginormous
Basically, all I want to do with the device is have it setup on my desk, to play a few apps such as YouTube, Spotify, Twitch, Vlc ( potentially a controller for my pc)
YouTube is working. an old glitchy version, but it works, Could use a tweak to increase the buffer size though, Some stuttering on playback
Spotify is installed and works fine, however it is an old version which locks me out of the only feature I wish to use. I wish to play the songs on my computer, and use the remote on the tablet to view, change volume and skip songs.
Twitch. Google play store would not Install this. period. I had to get an apk of Twitch, I think it's version 1.4. It is not bringing up any live streams. So it doesn't really work. This is perhaps the main app I want to get working. If YouTube is working, Pretty sure Twitch can as well.
The tablet Runs fine itself. As soon as I turn off background data and keep closing Google Framework apps it runs significantly better.
Someone recommended that I would find a solution on xda forums, so here I am.

As of now, over a month later, I'm trying again, because I have a big road trip in a few days.
I had it all set up and was working on getting a charger when the device suddenly would not boot and now it factory reset itself and I'm having to set it all up again.
supposedly it will charge with 2A chargers, you just need to reboot it so the battery % "refreshes"
so I had it supposedly charging then the device farted and now I'm ready to throw it.
contacted kobo support, huge waste of time.
Rooting would be nice, but getting those apps to work is all I want.
