Android FAQ (IMPORTANT Please Read)

Hey guys this is important I can't continue this FAQ cause I'm goin back to school in like 4-5 days (sophmore in high school takin ap classes hell yeah!)and I don't even think I will keep my vogue. Well anyway my point is I can't update this FAQ frequently anymore but I give full permission for a copy and paste of all the info I have as long as that person will keep an Android FAQ going and knows what he is doing.
New Builds posted check the google code page (created by Vilord) http://code.google.com/p/vogue-android/
I just needed to state this because for the past couple days I've been confused with who worked on The clean 1.5 cupcake build that is on the google code page and this is what was on Vilord's Thread
Credits for the kernel (zImage) go to DZO. This kernel is unmodified, it is his latest kernel
Credits for the system image go to many people, haykuro is the original source, then further modified by Vilord to get data, market, and SD card working
The initrd is pretty much all his (Vilord) now, with a radio library from DZO, srwalter, and himself Once again apologies for whoever I didn't list I've read that countless times before but for some reason something didn't click!!
OK so there are a ton of android threads and developers and builds etc. etc. and not really many places to actually help you (besides the Android port help desk but that's just too cluttered and doesn't help you with installing and Vilord's google code page)
The first build I will help with is DZO's he has 2 builds a clean android 1.1 and android 1.5 cupcake and Vilord did most of the 1.5 build so credit goes to him too.(Full credits above) He provides all the necessary files
DZO's Thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=382265
DZO's download site http://cs-alb-pc3.massey.ac.nz/vogue
Now he was the first person I remember that ported Android and he was the first one I used. The basic files are the default.txt-This tells Haret how to load Android Haret- This is the program that runs the Linux Loader zImage- This is the kernel (I believe that was done by DZO completely correct me if I'm wrong) Initrd- Data.gz- This is where your data is stored (contacts, settings, etc. etc.) System.img This is the actual system that starts I can't describe it better than saying it is kinda like the windows folder on your phone. All Android Builds need these files to work. The only one that isn't required is Data.gz (Haret will automatically create this if you don't have it)
So the first step is to obviously download all the necessary files many are scattered but if your new I would go with the 1.5 complete zip that can be found on this google code page (DZO links off to this too) http://code.google.com/p/vogue-android/
You must then edit your default.txt to suit your device (and preferences) first thing you will want to do is change the panel type I don't remember off the top of my head what each panel type is (1 2 3) but I suggest trial and error. If you get a white screen while booting Android you must change the panel type. Next you want to input your username and password for data to work sometimes you don't need to do this (I never changed mine and data works fine). Lastly if you want you can change the resolution default is 320 x428 that's fine it's totally up to you.
Here's my default.txt for my vogue "[email protected] ppp.password=telecom mddi.width=320 mddi.height=480 lcd.density=160 msm_sdcc.msmsdcc_fmax=32000000 pm.sleep_mode=0 board-htcvogue.panel_type=0 no_console_suspend"
boot There are some other things you can change but I wouldn't if you're new to Android. After you edit the default.txt your next step is to copy all the files to your sd card and they MUST be in the root of your sd card NOT in a subfolder. Also if you would like to have android programs you need to make a new folder on the root of the sd card that is named exactly like this (caps and all) AndroidApps and you find android APK Files (for instance Anycut.apk) and copy them to the AndroidApps folder I will post a few of my apk files later The last thing to do is to boot into Android!!!! To do this in windows mobile you go to file explorer and on the root of you sd card you run the program Haret and press run (assuming you left the name of Default.txt the same if not put in the name) Then Haret will start a Linux Loader some builds take a few minutes so BE PATIENT after it boots just go through setup and you have Android setup!!! For some builds in order to get Data working (I never had to do this but some have) before you run Haret you start a data connection (clicking on internet explorer will do the trick)and leave the data connection open while you run Haret. I don't think there is a build that has Bluetooth working yet (although I believe it's coming soon) and obviously wi-fi doesn't work because our vogues don't have Wi-fi. Different builds have different things working/ not working so check the builds.
If you guys can't tell yes i'm a noob (i don't know everything) but I will still try and help

Mssmison's
New Rogers Build, Skinned build, and Hero (and lite) builds posted setting it up is virtually the same so I don't really feel the need to write about it and once again excellent builds pretty stable (especially the rogers, and skinned builds
*For any build you need the files listed above for Android to work)
Mssmison's Thread http://tinyurl.com/nzhj53
Mssmison's mediafire folder http://tinyurl.com/mzgx3q
Mssmison's builds are the next ones I want to help with because many people are having problems with his Hero builds.
First off Mssmison has three main builds (they expand into later versions though) The Hero build (if you're not familiar with the Hero it's a new phone made by HTC that is set to debut here in the US in October http://tinyurl.com/kln4ke) the part people love about this phone is the senseui which is touchflo for Android and the various Hero builds focus on porting the senseui to our vogues. The next build is his rogers build and lastly the Hero skinned themes (cupcake build but skinned to look like the hero doesn't have touchflo though).
The Hero Build-It's very nice and definitely appeals to the eye however all builds (not the faults of mssmison, zenulator, etc.) are pretty slow on our phones. Mssmison gives you two files the system.img and the initrd you need both files and you simply rename the system file (the latest one is named hero251.img) to "system" (w/o quotes) and replace the files on your sd card with these two new ones from mssmison's mediafire folder. Once again you still need he files listed above default.txt, Haret, and Zimage you can download these on the google code page. This part is important open your default.txt and edit the resolution and lcd density I don't believe that any default.txt has a lcd.density string yet so just add it right after the resolution and also change the resolution to 320x480 if you don't do this the Hero splash screen will just keep looping. Basically replace "mddi.width=320 mddi.height=428" with "mddi.width=320 mddi.height=480 lcd.density=160" (w/o quotes)*As pointed out by JaredaKelly you shouldn't copy and paste because that will break the string so enter it manually* Mssmison's newer builds (2.0 and up) don't require a data file so you can just delete that if you have it. Now the key with this build is PATIENCE after you have finished following the instructions above you start Haret (its supposed to be on the root of your sd card if you followed the FAQ) ********It will take a little while to get to the Hero splash screen so be patient while it runs and creates a data file. When it does get to the Hero splash screen and the animation runs through it will take about 3-4 mins. so again be patient. When it finally boots up you will get a force close/wait screen click wait for however many there are until there is a force close only screen DON'T press force close yet wait (usually another 3-4 mins. could take longer though) for the language options come up (wake your phone up and unlock it if it falls asleep). After you see the language options behind the force close then you can hit force close and go through the setup after you go through it it will seem like it freezes (I think it's location consent) don't click like mad all around the screen just wait and it will reboot Android (not windows) and then it will start to load touchflo like I said wait it takes a while and when it finally does your done and you can now boot into The Hero build of Android!****** If you would rather it be faster on the home screen open the menu (volume slider down) and click settings>applications>manage Application>scroll down to touchflo and click it then press clear defaults. Then go back to the home (press the power button on top of the phone) and it will ask you for some default thing just click the check box on the bottom and press home and you won't have all the nice new widgets but you'll still have the nice new apps and hero splash screen etc. etc. and it will be way faster. Now there is a hero lite version if you want it just follow the instructions above (includinig disabling touchflo) and download the Hero lite version rename it to system and overwrite the old one on your sd card and you will be done!
New Hero Builds by mssmison posted on the google code page he gives you a data file so it loads wayyyyyyyy faster so if you have his newest build don't worry about the part in red http://code.google.com/p/vogue-android/
Next Mssmison Build I wanted to help with is his Rogers build I must say this build is very well done and one of the fastest I've ever seen. Basically it's kind of like Hero getting setup except like 50 times faster what you do is (once again assuming you have followed the FAQ and have these files listed above) go to mssmison's mediafire folder and obviously download the (you MUST use both of mssmison's files!!!)Rogers build and initrd rename the system file (the most recent is named Rogers2.0) just "system" (w/o quotes) and replace the 2 files on your sd card with the two Rogers build files then just like you do in the hero build open your default.txt and edit the resolution and lcd density I don't believe that any default.txt has a lcd.density string yet so just add it right after the resolution and also change the resolution to 320x480. Basically replace "mddi.width=320 mddi.height=428" with "mddi.width=320 mddi.height=480 lcd.density=160" (w/o quotes) I believe it is always better to start with a new data file when you try a new build so just delete your old data file and run Haret after it calls up the linux loader it will make a new data file and all you have to do is wait for the setup (like I said faster than hero) and there you go Mssmison's Rogers Build!!!
Hero Skinned Cupcake Build- This is one of my personal favorites I love the skin and it's a fast build. So first download the cupcake build from mssmison's mediafire folder*His newer builds are hereat the google code page After you download it (it's only one system file) rename it to "system" (w/o quotes) unlike the other two builds you can use any initrd you want (For the 10th time assuming you have followed the FAQ and have these files listed above) I just use the one on the google code page copy the file to the sd card and another thing you don't have to do is mess with the default.txt resolution I just leave mine at 320x428 because in my opinion I think it looks better but you can change it to whatever you want mine looks like this "mddi.width=320 mddi.height=428" (w/o quotes). After all is copied just boot up Haret (use any data file you want or use no data file because Haret will make one for you it doesn't matter) wait ouot the Linux Loader and you're presented with the setup screen and Ta-Da!! Mssmison's Hero themed cupcake Build!!
New Palm Pre Skin build!
Step 1: Make sure you have all the files listed above, if not download the cupcake 1.5 bundle from http://code.google.com/p/vogue-android/ and put them on the root of your sd card
Step 2: Edit your default.txt (for more info look at previous posts)
*I put mine at 320x480 and it worked I'm not sure if it'll work with different resolutions (I would imagine so)
Step 3: Download the Palm Pre theme system.img from http://code.google.com/p/vogue-android/ rename to "system" (w/o quotes) and overwrite the old system on your sd card
Step 4: Boot into Haret with File Explorer (or similar) and go through setup (unless you have your own data file)
Then your done!
UPDATE Mssmison posted a new file on the google code page rename it to system and follow these same steps Also Mssmison is now going to start posting on the Google code Page now so expect his builds to be there from now on

Zenulator's Build
Zenulator's Thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=542367
Update Zenulator's New Thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544906
You can also find his builds here http://code.google.com/p/vogue-android/
Zenulator's google code page http://code.google.com/p/vogue-hero/
Hero Build-This is personally my favorite Hero Build (and it's actually useable) it's very fast sleek and nice.
Step1: Download the Hero Bundle from the pages above
Step2: Copy them to the root of the sd card
*You could use your own data file but I prefer not to*
Step3: Edit the Default.txt you only need to change the panel type and the resolution to 320x480
Step4:Boot into Haret with File Explorer (or similar)
Step5: Go through the setup and you may get a wait/force close screen at bootup but just press wait and there you go Zenulator's Hero Build!!!
Forgot to mention the keys are remapped the volume sliders actually control volume! The power button is the menu the d-pad and middle button are the same and the side camera button is back while the end button is still power collapse If you want to have a home button goto App drawer>spare parts>End button behavior>click home,then sleep now when you press the end button it will take you home if you press it at the home it will goto sleep mode
P.S. The only things are switches for mobile and GPS and a clock. add more by pressing and holding a blank area on the home screen and select HTC or Android Widgets and to delete widgets press and hold the item then drag them to the bottom

I don't know how important this is,
But today I discovered you can turn the volume up and down by holding the camera button and the volume up/down.
It works, and its so convenient.

whew, many many thanks for that one mate.

how do you become a root user? also is there any way to reset the phone instead of just powering off?

I posted this in the Polaris thread to help users who were having problems getting the hero builds to boot:
I now have all the hero builds working.
Instructions:
Download zenulators hero-black build here
Connect to data in WinMo. (dont know if necessary but it might help with data issues).
Unpack to sd card and run.. no data image.. let it create one. it takes at least 10 mins to get to the lock screen.. dont touch anything even when the lock screen comes up .. clck wait on all the forced close boxes until it settles down. Add apn settings, connect modem and skip sign into google as this hasnt worked for me yet. Wait for it to become steady and the digital clock is on the screen then power off.
reboot and backup your newly created data image, you'll use this now for all these builds.
copy the hero image lite or full and run.. it should boot straight into Android.. enjoy the new touch flo.. realise its completely unusable but that you just had to see it anyway (even though you already knew that ) and then switch to the more usable lite version by copying the lite system image and renaiming it.
Good luck

Just FYI not all vogues use a board panel type of 0. Many sprint vogues, for instance, use 3. Trial and error until it works for those starting out.

Well yeah that's why I said if you get a white flashing screen to change it I remember DZO saying he used 3 thanks for making it clearer to people

Good Idea
I guess the android ports are getting more action than the WinMo roms.
If you can keep this together it will be a great help to the community.

Well actually you shouldn't have zero for the panel type, it means "don't power down the panel" but is not recommended because it messes up the vsync sometimes and will use more power than the others when the panel is off. Tell people to try 1,2 and 3 until it works.

good ^^d f f

Maybe we should ask the hosts of this website if we can get our own thread for Android Ports in general. There are so many people that dont know that Android can be ported to different devices. If we had our own section, the porting scene would skyrocket and things would come along quicker with more developers on board.

Fist question: Downloaded the app AndNav for gps navigation... it is a folder eith no .apk file. I have AppInstaller but how do I install this program?
Nest question: Using zenulator's Hero build, what can you do as far as syncing with a PC? It has HTCsync or whatever, does it work? I will plug it in and give it a shot.

GingerBread 2.3
i find it http://southcape.org/2011/02/11/xdandroid-gingerbread-public-test-build/

if u need to has the 'end key' replaced by 'Home', replace the 'rootfs' from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=999544 ... using the spare part to reassign home after boot up won't work on bringing up the recent programs screen. happy porting.

here the link for XDAndroid, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991207 just download the full bundle of GBX0A dated 11/03/2011. remember to replace the files found in this post and you good to go.
Directions:
1. Download the full bundle (zip). (Updated Mar. 11 2011)
2. Extract it. You’ll see a folder, GBX0A, copy its contents to the root of your SD card.
3. Click haret.exe on your phone thru File Explorer, Total Commander, etc.
5. Watch the boot process - you’ll see a section where you have to calibrate the screen - don’t forget to do this! Optionally, if you’ve already done this copy your ts-calibration file from your other build.
6. Profit!

I'm using Froyo 2.2.1 CBV2. It's a good and stable rom. Cam & Wifi works. So you can play around with this rom while waiting for a good CyanogenMod 7 rom

I tried FRX06 too.. but it's not as fast as Froyo 2.2.1 CBV2.. You have to prepare you're sd card (making partitions and stuff; all explained here) but it's really worth it!

You says to overclock my HTC HD, but that does not mean that changes (overclock) to speed procesor to burn it ? Like a procesor of Computer EX: procesor curent speed 1800 GHZ off 3000+ (procesor product AMD) but if i change speed of 2400 GHZ if posible to burn it, corect ?
Could also work a 2,4,6,7 months time, and then burn the procesor ?
I had an experience with the HTC Touch Diamond and burned to overclock the processor to 528 MHZ I went up to 688 MHZ, and after 2 weeks after he died (CPU burn, I find that to the guarantee, I have a friend who works HTC Service and that verdict has given me )
I am a little afraid to do overclock the HTC HD after I lived experience

First of all XDAndroid will not replace WinMo completely, yet.
There's no need to do any overclocking. You can, but it might cause instability issues.
Also, there's not one package that just runs 'out of the box' on Blackstone (Touch HD).
They either have missing functionality (GPS, Google Apps, whatever) or you need to follow a certain installation procedure.
Check out if this works for you:
- Get the FRX06 bundle from the Touch Pro/Fuze thread, follow the installation guide there too, but...
- use the correct startup.txt and ts-calibration (attached to post)
- get the special Blackstone kernel and rootfs by g3rm0 (see my signature), and then with everything on the SD card...
- follow the steps i described and you should be a happy camper.

I have those partition on my 8GB card. But i dont know if that helps.
Look at this video on youtube, download that program and do exactly as he did.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCV7Eu1pjWQ&feature=related
And follow steps that hrk7474 said.
Thanks!

Yes, use that build first and than try to use Froyo 2.2.1 CBV2 ...
You've to find out what Froyo build is really working for you..
For FRX06 you don't have to make partition of your 8gb sd card
For Froyo 2.2.1 CBV2 you do.. but it works well and still faster than the FRX06 build..
You don't have to overclock your phone if you don't want to!
So it's up to you.. Android is not fully optimized for our blackstones yet.. most things will work... But it's not as fast as it should be.. That's why the overclocking can be handy!
But you'll have to find that out yourself... Good luck!

This is the best rom i ever had,
wifi works
cam works
I think bluetoth works too, I just started once and it founds other devices.
fast, and verry stable. I had it on for about 50h without any crash, after that i restarted due to wifi error.
With wifi on and doing some thinks, like smsing browsing, playing a game some minutes it lasted for about 11-12h.
I think if you having this rom in standby mode, it will propably last more than 12h, I haven't checked it.
With this rom and this rootfs, it works like a charm!
Rom:

Rootfs:

I forgot to mention that I have Energyrom, but i agree with the previous post.
Google goggles works too and every other app!
Good luck!

As I'm sure is described in the installation guide in the thread where you got the FRX06 bundle from, yes, the startup goes where haret is.
By the way, have you looked at this thread at all?
'Waiting for SD' is the 3rd question dealt with in the FAQ. The fix worked for me when i had the SD-card issue. (I later removed it from the startup and my SD has been working fine
I further advise you to read the other threads as well and use the search function, because if this is your first serious attempt to run XDAndroid on a Blackstone i seriously doubt there's anything you will run into that nobody has experienced or dealt with before.
Don't get me wrong, we're all glad to help out eachother, but most of the answers are all over the forums already.

There are two (tree) possible fixes for "Waiting for SD card" issue
1. Make sure it's formatted to FAT32 filesystem.
if that doesn't work than
2. Open startup.txt --> find set cmdline and add this: msmsdcc_1bit msmsdcc_fmax=14000000 msmsdcc_nopwrsave
it that doesn't work either you can only try another card. My 8GB Transcend card refused to work so I had to buy an old class 2 SanDisk 2GB. Good thing they are dirt cheap now

same problem,the problem is the card 8Gb,thanks

Pff....
I tried all the above versions of Android and without any results, after restart back to windows mobile phone, why ??

My SD Card doesn't seem to work, why?
Most SD Cards are working, but if you the 'waiting for SDCard' message, you should try one of these fixes (and please let us know if it works)
Fix 1: Format your card with this tool http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter/
Fix 2: Edit your startup.txt file and add these red entries to your cmdline:
set cmdline "lcd.density=240 msmts_calib=0x395.0x3c9.0x79.0x77 clock-7x00.a11=500 msmvkeyb_toggle=off pmem.extra=1 gsensor_axis=-2,-1,3
msmsdcc_1bit msmsdcc_fmax=14000000 msmsdcc_nopwrsave"
Fix 3: Tell your wife / girlfriend that you are about to make some modifications to her phone... change the ringtone and steal her old Class 2 SD Card to use with Android. She will never discover what you have done, and if she does, you'll be able to use Android to send texts to your former girlfriends ;-)

I have a big problem when you need to calibrate the screen ... but I do not look to the cross with calibrate the screen.
It`s Show me the screen and first cross calibration ( in top left corner ) for 2 seconds ( I do not see the calibration screen, how can I do if I can not see the calibration screen ? ) and then continues installing Android,after the installation is complet i can not use the touchscreen because is not calibrated.
I use Startup.txt and ts-Calibration,but .... no efect
Mention that the 8GB card is not working I found a 1GB card and it works
Or tell me how you've done and the steps that you made ​​when you put the files on the card,
All Android versions have the same problem, HELP !!!!
Thanks

I think after the first corner the calibration spot will appear after that the other calibration spots wont show up, but just push each corner after you see the first top left cal.ponit, then efter when you have pushed all other corners and are about to push the top right corner push once again the top left corner then it should proceed as normal....Thats what i was expierenced with this FRX06 build.
Or just put calibriation file in the folder where haret is started, main folder. Startup file must also be there, both files is for your Blackstone. You will find Startup file in the STARTUPS folder and the calibrations file from the link below.
Here you have calibrations files for your blackstone:

[Q] Cant move apps to SD card

I just purchased an Elocity A7 and updated the firmware to 2.0134 and applied Dexter's Elocity 1.42 mod.
Everything seems to be working great, I can get to the marketplace etc. but for some reason none of the apps will go to the SD card that I have installed.
I can see the card mounted but when I go the the App to SD app the column to move to SD card (that I used in prior versions) is not on the screen.
Is this normal?, or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks in advance for your replies.
Demi

Your procedure isn't correct, first you have to load dexter 1.41Rom then add the patch 1.42, you cannot put 1.42 ontop of the factory firmware...

Elocity did not include the option, so you cannot move apps with stock firmware...
you need the CyanogenMod released, then you get the option to do it.

Thank both of you for the prompt replies.
Should I reinstall the elocity software again, over the Dexter mod?
What does CyanogenMod mean, and how do I install? it.
Sorry, I'm not very technical.\

Original Post by Dexter_nlb
I played around with a version of the CyanogenMod7 for tegra2, and now its in a acceptable state, so you can test it too.
I have used the latest Atrix4G 2.3.4 + vega / optimus 2X to put this version together, and its based on the original elocityA7 kernel and includes modules for cifs,nfs,ext3 and ext4 support.
So although its a Android Gingerbread 2.3.5 base, kernel is still just 2.6.32.9 based, so cpu,memory and kernel related optimizations are not here.
CyanogenMod7 offers a lot of customizable features, full multilanguage and latest enhancements found for our android comparing to original stock a7 rom, you get alot more features.
Fixes in Version3 (Cyanogen7RC1ModA7-3)
- Youtube HD video fixed
- VolumeUP/VolumeDown assigned to sound&search buttons
- DSP Manager is now working, it is really to loud for internal speaker if you go full power.
- GoogleTalk app update + crash fix. (still no video working)
- USB_OTG app updated, so changes take effect immediately when you swith HOST/DEVICE mode (used to connect tablet to pc with usb-a2usb-a cable)
- Real 1080p video out with HDMI (not sure how it affect playback, it seeems just upscaled)
What is found not working right now:
- Camera photo & video recording (photo stopped when avi got enabled)
- rotation sensor is 90 wrong (in gameloft games)
- bluetooth
What is working
- Netflix runs out of the box on this one, as i made build.prop changes so it thinks its a Xoom.
- wifi networking
- sdcard , usb host/device and USB stick support.
- all features of CM7
- mkv/avi/wma/wmv hardware acc. video playback (almost seems like more avi is supported than before?)
Download http://dext3r.komodin.org/Elocity-A7/Cyanogen7RC1ModA7-3.zip
to install after just as full update, but is a kernel only update. (extract Update.zip from this zipfile to root of sdcard)
Download http://dext3r.komodin.org/Elocity-A7/Cyanogen7RC1ModA7OCKernel.zip

Thanks,
I get an error message when I try to do this update. I am on Dexters Mod

The error message is cant find entry for META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary

unzip the downloaded zip, and there is a zip inside named update.zip that needs to be extract and out on the root of your sd card

Thank You for the reply. It worked perfectly and now everything is up to date and working. I don't know how to press the thank you meter so here goes a double thank you...

How does the original question apply to the A7+?
I can't access card and I'm having memory issues... new thread has specifics

[Q] Lenovo Lepad S1 Y1011 - leaked rom

Hello,
my borther brougt me this tablet from china for chrismas: Lenovo Lepad y1011 (sry can't send a link becaus i'm a new user...)
But Lenovo has changed everything on android and they call it OS 2.0 (= Android 2.2 )
Maybe someone found a solution to update the OS to honeycomb or to install CWM?
I have read so mutch chinese forms but the googletranslator didn't find something usefull for me.
I hope someone of you may help me.
thx MiracelVip

hi, the thinkpad tablet never came with anything lower than 3.1, also that isn't a valid model number for this tablet.
I think you must have something other than a thinkpad tablet
Cheers
Tom

Check here, shows the instructions for that model.
TS

Yes i know this thread! But its just about rooting and installing google maps and the market... but the market in this thread isn't working anymore! i think the version is to old...
but i hate the lenove OS, i would like it to install another one or maybe develop my own one if CWM would work
it's this one: h**p://appserver.lenovo.com.cn/shop/shop_Detail.aspx?gdsid=A2100014142

Unfortunately, it's said that Lenovo has no any upgrade plan for this pad. LePad S1(Y1011) is the first mode of pad from Lenovo. the product, particularly its deep customized OS, is in very low maturity. short after its released to the market, it's ended production and replaced by A1 series pad. that's the situation, so disappointed, and angry. and finally, its ROM leaked.
i searched some Chinese forum and got the following leaked ROM:
* LePad S1 Ver_Wifi ROM here
* LePad S1 Ver_3G ROM here
* resource pack here
hope it helpful to you guys who may interested look into the code

Thanks for this informations! Does someone know what we can do with this files?
________________________________________________________________________
This files are working! While I tried to install Gapps i bricked my Y1011 and i was able to reflash everything by using fastboot and LePad S1 Ver_3G ROM.
thx again for the files

hi i have the same tablet and really heavy problems. i look at all chinese forums with google translation and it is horrible to find anything about a working custom firmware.
if you instal the upper firmware it will be nice to tell us something about the changes. when i want to download i didnt work download allways stopp. the name is the same like the orriginal number.
im loking for a stable full android version. im read that there is a chinese caled chita he costum firmware for the lephone and the lephone works normal withe leos like the lepad.
so if anybody knew news about the lepad y1011 it wil be nice to write it here.

thorwald

yes i was able to install the firmeware above but ther are no changes! its just a leaked original version
at the moment i'm uploading the firmewares to uploaded.to
watch the 1. post

Thanks for your post. So i wont install the leaked rom if it isnt a full android. Do you know anything about Chitas Roms.
I worked with Costum Rom for my Archos Tablet and for HTC sensation xl but i m not god enough to custom a own one.
But i got Market place working without Gaaps. I have some mistakes with 492 but only by a few apps.
Thanks for upp the Files if I break it its easy to unbrick it. I will download it.
If some from China will inform us it will be very nice.

you have been able to install the market?! could you give me tutorial how you have done this? and thefiles you installed?
everytime i've tried it i bricked my device
(gerne auch auf deutsch )

At First German is on this forum not allowed. Forum rules (mir wärs auch lieber)
I have got market work with some mistakes on some files got mistake 492 if you find the APK on other Place the most will work but not with autoupdate.
Some Games will not work bcause the OS2.0.0 The Hardware is god enough
So here are how to do it
Install LeTools on Windows 7 PC. it is assumed that LenovoStore on your Lepad is already connected usin wifi.
Connect USB cable with Windows 7 PC
unzip attached file to your PC.
1. Copy all attached files to your LePad using LeTools in any known directory.
2. Use LePad filemanager and click on z4root.apk and install it. Its icon will appear on last Desktop
3. Use LePad file manager and click on Root_Explorer.apk and install it. Its icon will appear on last Desktop
4. Click on Z4root icon to run it. select temporary root permission
5. Click on Root_Explorer icon. It may say that it needs a restart to gain root access. so re run.
6. Now little hardwork. Find the folder where you copied the files. You have to copy following files to the folder /system/app
a. Vending.apk
b. Network location.apk
c. Market updater.apk
d. talk.apk
e. googleServicesFramework.apk
f. googlePartnerSetup.apk
7. Touch the file name and hold for a second, menu will appear. Select copy and go on top of listed files where .. is there for going to previous directory. keep going back till you reach the root folder.
8. Go to folder /system/app and touch the copy button at bottom of LePad screen.
9. Repeat the process for all above files.
10. Change the permissions on each copied file by touching the file name and holding for a second, from menu selecting permissions.
Select permissions as follows
User - Read and write
Group - Read
Others - Read
11. Now shutdown the LePad and then Power On.
12. Use file Manager and go to folder where you initially copied the files. Touch the Vending.apk to install it.
13. Now you should have Google market icon on Last Desktop.
14. All the best. You are needed to have a gmail account to use Google market.
I will look were i can Upload the files. If you start and stop the market it will automatik update to the 4.3.3
