Hi,
I have just received this tablet and it sucks.
But I paid much money for it and it took a very long time for it to arrive, so I just want to give it a try.
It runs android 2.3.4, but it has no android market. I managed to install the Market APK, but to my surprise, there was no way to add a google account, so I can use the market. Anybody knows how to accomplish this?
Second, I want to root this sucker. I tried SuperOneClick 2.3.3, but when I put the device in debug mode and connect it to the pc, it does not search for drivers, even though I have the android SDK installed. Anybody???]
Plus, if anybody has this device too, please share your experiences and maybe one day we have a developer willing to make a ROM for it.
I also have just received this tablet, I am a bit disappointed too (for the display quality actually), but I am trying to understand what I can make out of it.
I installed some versions of Google Market (and also the GoogleServices) but its seems unable to connect with my account. Will search some more if I can find some way to have it working, this post was just to let you know that there is also somebody else in your situation.
As always, any suggestion/step forward shared is more than welcome.
Bye

Hey I managed to install the Market and GoogleAccount and have them working.
I installed the gapps packages found at this url and they seem to work: (I cannot post links so please remove the spaces from the address below)

Hope you'll be successful too.

I have a ROM that is built for the GADMEI T863. It already has Market cooked in as well as some other tweaks.
I shared it on my google account.

Just unpack and copy the four items to the root of the sd card. Turn off the tablet. Hold volume up en power button to begin flashing.
Nice dude... you scared me a little when I realized that it has chinese as the default language but I managed to set english quite easily.
Thank you!!!
Thanks!!!
You save my device. My internal sd was corrupted and i've tried a lot of solutions without success. Flashing this rom repair it.
allright, more users with this particular device.
Question, is the wifi on your's slow? My wifi is terrible. I can only get about 1mb/s a second. My router is a Linksys E4200 and my internet is cable 120mb/s.
It is slow with this frimware, the old firmware and the new (official firmware), no matter what.
Please share your thoughts.
My top speed is 1284 kbps with a line with 30mb/s very slow

Hi everybody,
Happy to find some users of this tablet. I'm really satisfied by this stuff. The 3D effect is nice and the performances barely good. I've put on the back a door hinge to create a kickstand
I rooted my device thanks to two little things : PdaNet to get a generic driver, then DooMLoRD's Easy Rooting Toolkit : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1321582
@hyellow : Thank you very much ! Where did you get this rom ? I'm curious to know the modifications provides by this rom, and i would to follow his evolution

I found the ROM on facebook. It is a dual device facebook page, because it is also offering roms for the GADMEI T820.
http://www.facebook.com/GadmeiT820
there is also this chinese forum, from GADMEI themselves.

Thanks.
This rom is great, finally my Google account and better performances in the system and 3D player. 'm Waiting for the next version
Does anyone see in the 3D mode strange rainbow-like color effects? Is it a low-quality panel or is it my device that has problems?
Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
today all cheap panels 3d glasses-free are low quality with rainbow colors and duplicates.
Best view at 50cm distance with low tilt in the y axis, when you stop to see the rainbow effect is the optimal distance-tilt, best with a solid color foreground in the movie.
I got one 2 weeks ago from BRANDO.
I don't think it's expensive, the 200 $ get exact change to euros, so it's 160 euros with delivery included.
The hardware is Ok, not the best but quite reasonable. And the glasses free display really works with the included video and photo players. The screen is HD-ready resololution and the video works quite well with every format I have tried.
On the bad side: the screen gets scratched easyly just by using it. It comes with very little documentation in chinese and just a few apps installed and some more on the internal SD, included a chinesse market. The construction looks a bit cheap and the plastic back makes sounds when you catsh it.
Still haven't tried to root it, with the Android Market installed surely will get more from it. Does anyone know if there is a chance we could upgrade it to Honeycomb or Icecream?

Does this ROM pack with the original 3D player? Thanks!

yes, it has the 3d player. But make a backup of the 3d content (movies and pictures). because, that is not included.
Does anyone know if there is an SDK to activate 3D mode?
LG and HTC have them for their phones. I assumed this device only needed the image to be vertically interlaced, but it appears something needs to switch on for the parallax barrier to activate.
thanks

Thanks. Does it also fixed the internal SD problem and improved Wi-Fi performance? Do you know how to make a backup of the existing ROM before upgrade? Could you share any screenshot?
Trying to install this rom,
It boots to the sd install screen and gives an error
E.Bad Boot Loader Arguments "(null)"
E.unkown volume for path [/udisk/factory_update_param.aml]
E.Can't mount /udisk/factory_update_param.aml]
anyone know what this is?
have you put the extracted files on to the internal or external sd card?
It might not make any difference, but i put it on the external sd card.
Be sure to extract the rar file and copy it to the sd card.
Hello Everyone,
First off, thank you all for your part in this oh-so informative community you have built. It has answered many questions I have had in the past. I have created a account in hopes that I can get some help with a recent netbook that I got as a bitrthday gift.. It's a Wolvol 10 in netbook, running Android 4.0.4. I like the system well enough but it doesn't support video playback (i.e. netflix, hulu +, hbo go..). I am not super tech savy, and just recently got my first android phone which introduced me to the world of roots & roms. So, im here looking for direction/advice on how to take full advantage of my machine. In the settings it lists "About my Tablet", so im not sure if I can find a root that will work searching elsewhere, or if I need a custom ROM. I will give any info on the netbook that I can if it helps me in my goal.
Thank you again.
Anyone? Please? Bueller?
I just did some searching for this and unfortunately found absolutely nothing on it. So it doesn't support any video playback? Sorry but I don't see netflix ever working on it without an development community or unless it get's an update for it.
Captain,
It will play YouTube and most video off sites directly, but with Hulu: it will download the app off playstore. When opened it gives the message "Device not supported [142]. We're sorry, but video playback on this device is not currently supported". On netflix: I can download the app off the playstore but when I open it does nothing. HBO Go: Supprisingly the app works perfectly. I hadn't tried downloading it yet under the assumption that it would be same as netflix. So that's a plus. Still would be nice to make use of my other video services though. Guess I will keep my fingers crossed for either a system update, or app updates. Thanks for looking into it
I also go this as a gift. Any rom or any development for this netbook?
password help
Hopefully somebody on here can help... My daughter got what i believe is a white WolVol 10.1" netbook that she got from a friend before we moved out of town. Well heres the dilemma, She forgot her password and now we can not get into the netbook. I tried pressing ALT f10 or f8 and nothing pops up except the android symbol. Ive tried to push the reset button on the bottom of the netbook and still nothing ive exhausted all of my options here please help me out so i can help my daughter out...
Hello and welcome to my 1st post!
I have been doing a lot of scouring this site's forums and guides trying to find my answers, but to no avail, but apologies if this is in the wrong place or has already been asked/answered.
I have recently purchased a cheap android tv box which has someone's custom rom etc loaded on it, running Android gingerbread 2.3.7.
I would like to use it for streaming video from websites and using some uk tv service apps, for example 4OD - so nothing to strenuous.
I have been trying to root the device in order to get some apps to work, and to generally learn more about Android, however the firmware seems to be really locked down already to prevent this, there is no option to turn on usb debugging as there is no developer tab under applications for example!
All the 1-click, no PC type rooting apps i have tried have failed as well.
Can anyone offer any advice how I can do this, or reload a more open rom onto the box, or anything really!
There was no manufacturer or anything on the outer case, but I have attached 2 screenshots with all the info I can find out about what kind of device it is and what it is running.
I realise this has become a bit of a long ramble, but I really would appreciate any help going, either by reply or PM.
Thank you very very much.
Hi all. I hope you're having a lovely Easter. I wonder if any of you geniuses can help.
I want to watch Sky Go at a friend's house this weekend (Sky Sports F1). I have three very different devices, none of which will work and I wondered if anyone had any ideas:
1. Nexus 5.
While this runs Sky Go just fine, whenever I use my slimport-to-hdmi adapter to connect to a TV, it stops working. Does anyone know a way round this? It's not rooted so cannot use the Virtual HDMI switch workaround. Is there a workaround without rooting?
2. Android HDMI dongle - (Official device name is "pov tv-hdmi-200bt")
I bought this in Maplins a while ago and is great. I installed "Sky Go Tablet" on it, but when I go to use it, it *****es at me about the device being rooted, so it won't work. I've not rooted it! So I've no idea what it's on about. I've tried two different Hide my Root type apps, and neither work - probably because it's not really rooted, and Sky Go just thinks it is?
3. My Lenovo T410 laptop, running Windows 8.1
Sky Go doesn't appear to work on Windows 8.1 on Lenovo laptops yet, and no-one on any forum appears to know why this is. I've used Chrome, IE and Firefox, and numerous versions of Silverlight, and still get the error 't:6036/ c:4110' when I attempt to stream. No proxies or firewalls in place etc etc.
Does anyone have any advice?
I realise this isn't an Android device, but it's still about Sky Go.
If anyone has any bright ideas as to how to fix any of the three problems above, I'd love to hear from you.
Apologies if any of these have been resolved in other threads - I've done numerous searches and couldn't find anything.
Thanks everyone, and happy Easter Friday.
Jonny.
Hiya, did you ever find a work-around with getting the SKY GO to working using HDMI?

Hi guys. Not sure if I'm in the right sub but I'm desperate for help.
I've had a Lenovo smart display 8 and it was working okay before. I did not use it for some time until I moved back to my country lately.
I tried to set it up and it seemed to update to the latest firmware. Voice works but I noticed that the screen isn't responsive. Thinking that something was wrong, I tried to reboot the device but it didn't get any better, so I tried resetting by holding +/- buttons. It went through the setup process again but now at the final step, it won't go any further. It looks like a bug that has disabled the touch screen imo. I've searched and found a lot of people having the same issue with not just lenovo but also nest hub. Do anyone have an idea how we can flash an older firmware to fix this?? (I'm not in the US btw, so I can't send it to service center. And the device isn't distributed in my country so I doubt whether local support could help. I don't want it to become a paperweight) It gets even more frustrating that the device is connected to wifi network and can receive audio cast, even youtube cast but the screen will only show Almost done! Finish setup.
I've tried to collect resources across the internet. There is open-source from lenovo website. File in tar.gz and I don't know how to compile it into an img file for flashing. There is another thread when someone posted a system dump in another thread, but it's not active. I wonder which one to use and further steps to make it work. Can anyone with expertise help me, please??

Smart Display System Dump or APK
Hey, guys - I've been scouring everywhere whether anyone has been able to perform a system dump of a Smart Display device. Since the Home Hub is using Cast as its method of being display I'm almost positive it won't be able to be engineered on...
