Official Honeycomb 3.0 from Smartbook.de

hi,
i'm owner of the smartbook surfer 360 MN10U, same as advent vega (but has 3G / GPS).
on the homepage of smartbook.de they are advertising this tablet NOW availaible with android honeycomb 3.0
i' ll write them when first upgrades are possible....
hope this post is in right section - otherwise please remove in the right one...

They advertise is it for a week now, but there is unfortunately no download at the support site. I hope that is not only a VegaComb port. ;-)

I would say there is a very high chance that any Vega clone that officially has 3.0 will now have a VegaComb based rom.

I cant imagine they would get away with this in EU, China is different. There is no way that they will release a update that brakes flash either, it would cause havoc for the customer services.
The only way is if the company was about to got bust they might do it to sell a few more units before going out of buisness.
Saying all that i wouldn't be all that shocked if it did turn out that its vegacomb based.

lets just say (without expressing details) that certain vega clone companies have enquired about permission to use the rom

And when one thought it couldn't get funnier, it does...
I hope that the ones involved in the ROM's birth will be offered a slice of the pie and acknowledged greatly.

Hmmm...
Don't know if this is a good thing or not...
I hope that these 'certain vega clone companies' have access to previously unavailable sources and are willing to share these with our VegaComb heroes!
In other words:
I hope they can (and will) really contribute to the development of the VegaComb ROMs!
But nevertheless it's great they 'enquired about permission to use the ROM' instead of just stealing it...

Has any company been so devious as to steal a whole ROM???

yes a Chinese company selling a vega clone has stole the whole of VegaComb in its beta form.
However its hard to argue its steeling as there are no propriety files (that I am aware of), it would have still been nice of them to ask Newbe5 though.

Using a BETA ROM is a bit stupid of them isn't it? Customers buying that Clone Tablet could have potentials problems which that company won't be able to address.

Do you think that some semiunderground chinese company bother about customer's problems? You guys in Europe live in not material world They want your money - they get it - and in same second they get your money, they don't think about you anymore.
I'll still waiting for this ROM at least until google'll open source of android 3.0 and some wise guys make a brand new custon ROM for us all

ive been pestering smartbook for a while because they have allways advertised it as being honeycomb upgradable
they told me their update would be coming out in may so maby they have finally released it

Yesterday I wrote to viewsonic support about honeycomb update for viewpad 10s and they tell me that there is no google license for 1024*600 displays and noone can update advent vega or similar tablets to honeycomb and this is no more than rumors and lie.

very true?
their is alot of roumours about what google will and will not take. the one about no updates from 2.2 sounds the most odd
i think we need to get someone with a smart book or someone who can speek german to ring up

Google have made it quite clear that they are not limiting their OS to any hardware types, or stopping it from being put on certain spec devices. Android remains an open source project.
Honeycomb has not hit AOSP because google do not want idiot clone companies attempting to put the tablet OS onto phones and giving android a bad name.
They are in the process of building and nearing completion on their next OS (Ice Cream Sandwich) which is believed to act like Honeycomb when in landscape, i.e. tablets but act like a phone when in portrait. Once this OS is out it will hit AOSP then ALL devices can choose to use it if they wish.
As for GAPPS (Google Apps) that remains under licence from Google so they can control who gets it, but its pretty much comes down to cost rather than Google deciding a particular piece of kit is not good enough.

[ANDROID] APQ8x60 Gingerbread Souce code

https://docs.google.com/document/d/...31uj_LrKU8OG0/preview?hl=en_US&pli=1&sle=true
This started me thinking. Qualcomm wants and needs to be able to sell their processors and they are not blind to the fact that Android appears to be the OS of choice on Smart phones and tablets. So I did some looking around and I found out that there actually is one other device using the Qualcomm APQ8060. This device is not a consumer device--it is a special board designed for OEMs who want to use APQ8x60 series processors in their design. This device is called a DragonBoard and believe it or not Qualcomm has complete Android 2.3.3 (Gingerbread) source available for this device !!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
In addition, the DragonBoard and Touchpad share many components. The following chipsets/devices appear to be either compatible or identical on both the DragonBoard and Touchpad:
Main processor
Adreno video core
Power management ICs (PM8058, PM8901)
Sound chipset (Wolfson Microelectronics 8000 series)
WiFi and bluetooth chipsets (Both devices have Qualcomm/Atheros chipsets)
USB I/O chipset
This is HUGE news. This means that in theory, the driver support for the devices listed above should work out of the box using this reference build. It also:
Answers the question “Where did the Android build found on the Touchpad come from” ?
Gives us a full source GINGERBREAD reference build as a starting point. This could easily shave MONTHS off the time required to create a stable build.
build.prop from build 1
complete build folder here
Update: I am now working on a new custom kernel for the touchpad called KRYPTONITE. Check out the details HERE and HERE
I have pulled the latest GINGERBREAD source from the Aurora git hub and have built a very preliminary Android image, including:
Application boot-loader
flashed with the command:
fastboot flash aboot emmc_appsboot.mbn
Kernel
flashed with the command:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
System
flashed with the command:
fastboot flash system system.img.ext
Userdata
flashed with the command:
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img.ext
Persist(used for WIFI)
flashed with the command
fastboot flash persist persist.img.ext4
At this point I am simply waiting for my Touchpad to arrive, so I can test this.

Well done mate We are all behind you, it things like this that makes XDA great
JD

wow... keeping an eye on this~!
thanks~!

So with this image that you built will it work for dual boot. Or in this instance is it one or the other. I know there are a few teams working on dual boot. This seems very promising missing all the apps android has to offer. When do you get your touchpad??

While the Touchpad may be the first consumer device with the APQ8060, that doesn't mean that the APQ8060 isn't very similar to some other devices on the market. All of the Qualcomm 8000 series chips are very similar. Other devices currently on the market that have these chips include the HTC EVO 3D and HTC Sensation. The biggest difference between the chips in the EVO and Sensation are the inclusion of cell phone radios (GSM & CDMA). Most of the rest is identical including the graphics chip and (probably) the sound and WiFi chips.
Some of the developer teams have already succeeded in booting Android on the Touchpad. At this point, the hardest part is going to be getting a kernel that fully functions with Android. Any device that is publicly released with a Linux kernel must be released with publicly available source code. webOS, just like Android, uses a Linux kernel and thus the source code is readily available. It's mostly a matter of making an Android compatible kernel. We should already have working drivers for video, sound, WiFi, and Bluetooth - just a matter of hooking them all up correctly. I think the biggest hurdle now is getting the touchscreen driver hacked together to work with Android.
I've been trying to get a Touchpad into the hands of toastcfh. toastcfh is the CyanogenMod maintainer for the EVO 3D. He already has extensive experience with the Qualcomm 8000 series hardware. Given how far other developers have gotten, I almost consider Android on the Touchpad to be a foregone conclusion - it's only a matter of when, not if. toastcfh should be getting a Touchpad from a donor in another week or 2.

Pretty sure you can get a build built from Qualcomm's source here. http://www.villainrom.co.uk/Touchpad/rom/

That's a Rom, not source code. In the long run you want source code so that you can update it and make it better.

A donor as in someone to send him one to dev on and then he'll send it back after he works his magic? I'd love to have the first TP with Android on it! I got my 32gb TouchPad on Saturday. Contact me, as I'd be more than willing to send it to toast now and speed up the process for everyone by that week or two.

Waiting anxiously to hear about these

I have wrote to them twice, no reply. Seams not serious.

That is not a good sign.
Looks like they may have been at an expo the last few days though, so that may be why. Though that begs the question, are they a one man band/startup company?

Did you try contacting [email protected] or [email protected] ? ....Seems weird they have two company names and details on one site though.

[email protected] and thru Alibaba "Contact seller", maybe you could try th other one Seams fundamental wrong to make the effort to put up iteams at alibaba and don't reply sales question (wonder how they handle support questions ).
Maybe they selling OEM products and brand them, hopefully there is a OEM product that will reach other, more serious, resellers.

Trying to access winlink-tech.com website redirects to Ownice.com site so I think they have changed their name for some reason......that is another thing I'd be worried about.

Well, just got a reply.

Yeah its been a few days though, they did say they only just got back from the expo. Looks like the email is answered only by Sherry (maybe one of the only english speaking in the company?? Not sure). At least it is looking more promising.

Well they have been actively emailing replies on a daily basis since, not that much info has been in the emails.

Has anybody already ordered from them, or at least got a quote?
I am also in contact with Sherry and would like to buy the OL-8901 unit. She told me that 1024x600 and larger memory (32/64GB) is optional. I am waiting for a quote and details on how to buy from them...

Very interested in this.
I've just sent a message to 'Elaine' via Alibaba asking for a price for one for my E53, also asking for a screenshot of the settings/about screen.
Let's see what she says!

Well, Eric has replied with pretty much the same email as on the first page.
Unfortunately he also says they will be available 'next month'. I don't know if he realises it's now November or their ETA has already slipped a month.

Hi all, i am waiting to get the one of this OWNICE C200 unit... but i hope i am not disappointed after driving my car around without no HU waiting and it not what was promise

just bought mine today, too.
Hopefully it will be a nice piece of technology with a good interface and performance.
Bought it directly from Ownice.
FYI:
Ownice is their new brand (POC --> Elaine)
Winlink is their old brand (POC --> Elaine)
Carwin is their distributor
There are all represent at aliexpress, so don't be surprised if there all have the same unit with different prices. Ownice was the cheapest...

Will be really interesting to read your feedback. I'm a bit sceptic to their optional accessories (resolution, ram), would be better to have 1024 and 2GB as only option.

The resolution upgrade is only available for 8 inch or greater. I have the 6,2 inch display so there was no option to upgrade, still bought the RAM and flash upgrade
Hopefully this will fit into my car (civic european version fk2 2007)

I was hoping to see some video of the HU in action. I don't want to buy a pig in a bag.. china is a long way from South America so sending it back is out of the question.
What will be nice if someone from Ownice can post on this forum. I have a question about booting animation car logo, can it be change to your own car logo?

I ordered mine from aliexpress. Some of the stores there already have the stock from the first production batch, and if they haven't sold out yet you might get the phone by 1-2 weeks. Mine has not been dispatched, but the seller already has the phones in stock and will ship them in a few days. I still need to wait a little longer because the phone needs about a month to reach my place.
From its specs, performance, and price, I say it's a very good phone. I cancelled my Umi zero order and switched to this phone.
I also ordered for my wife the Meizu M1 Note which has almost similar specs. It's still in pre-sale, and its availability is not yet confirmed.

3GB version of how much money?

I've visited the site before but never bought anything from them because there are stores at aliexpress that sale items cheaper than them. But very careful if you want to buy anything from aliexpress. Make sure you read the negative ratings first, then you can decide whether the store can be trusted or no.
My S3 has been shipped today. I still need to wait about a month until the parcel arrive at my place

My order was shipped 19 days after I placed the order. It's not the store's fault, they are waiting the phones to be sent by Jiayu.

Not out of the box. The factory doesn't install playstore, but most sellers would probably installed themselves. The vendor from which I bought it does this.

I have this phone, after a quick firmware flash all the google apps are supported :
Firmware: http://www.needrom.com/download/jiayu-s3/
Review video (without google apps):
Camera sample pictures: http://colonelzap.blogspot.de/2015/02/jiayu-s3-review-mt6752-64-bit-octa-core.html

i buy it today on spemall.
so i waitting .:fingers-crossed:
i read on a forum for this phone some guy already port miui v6

Can we hope for a custom recovery ROM?
TWRP is my favourite one.
Without TWRP/CWM recovery, it's very hard to install gapps. I found ADB method, but I never used it before so I didn't understand:
1) Are MT65XX drivers compatible with MT67XX chipset?
2) Once the phone is connected to windows, what do I have to do exactly?
3) Is there any chance to do it by using an Ubuntu server?
I already tried googling before, but I didn't found any simple guide.

I ordered mine from Pandawill. The phone (3Gb version) will be in stock on 14.02 and
according the description will have Play Store installed .

you can install play store manual with root permission. just extract important apps and some of lib and framework using root explorer.
if you don't know to do, i will make tutorial soon if i get this phones.
p/s: i really excited to get this phones and will be my second phones from china company.

I hope this phone attracts many developers so we might get lots of customizations etc...

I hope that in near future there will be an update to Lollipop - this will help the phone to use the full capacity and functionality of the 64-bit processor.

About manual procedure to install gapps, I still haven't got the phone than I can't try.
But other users made something similar and they didn't reach the goal.
However somebody told my that once you installed jiayu.es app, you can install custom CWM recovery. He didn't test everything, but it looks like it's working (4 example, touch feature is working).
About Lollipop, Jiayu first officially declared lollypop very soon (march) but now they also declared their focus is on getting actual ROM more stable.

You really don't need to fix the play store / Google apps manually, just flash a new firmware that includes all the Gaaps and that's it
This is what the new FW looks like, google apps are all working, plus some gaming:

Great video, and I did laugh at your gaming.. sorry...
I would like to ask, after spending some time with the phone, do you find any bugs/problems/glitches?
May be somethings are not working as they should?

What kind of system do I have and what can I do with it?

Hello everybody,
I recently bought and installed a new head unit as an infotainment system for my car. Now I'm wondering what kind of operating system this is and what options I have to adapt it. I'm brand new to the Android Automotive world and trying to get an overview. I can't quite make sense of the information I can find in the settings (see screenshots). It seems to be based on Android 10, but I've read about version 12. Also, it installed a pretty bad launcher. I've tried others but would be interested to see how google's vanilla stock launcher would look like. But since I couldn't find one, I got even more confused. I am also surprised that the so-called security updates seem to be several years old, but are considered up-to-date (no updates).
Even if this sounds very clueless, can you help me to orientate myself? Are there maybe custom roms that I would have to exchange?
Many thanks in advance!

Not (Android Automotive) requestee moderator move to (Android head-units) forum
Op consider reading then posting

Can anyone really try to help me with this problem?

What problem? Trying to find thr stock luancher? I think there is no built in launcher with android for cars. You can find custom ones on the play store.
Since you get no updates, you rpoboably bought a outdated device.

Okay, I would like to simply upgrade to a current firmware. I may not have made that very clear. I don't know much about such head units. Is this different from smartphones where I need a special build for a device to flash the ROM? I'm confused because I couldn't find out anything except the SoC name.

Are you sure this is not the latest firmware. If not, you can use fastboot to push a update.

No, I have absolutely no idea what versions are available and if I have the latest one. How do I find that out?
In other words, even if the manufacturer doesn't offer any updates itself, is it possible to flash your own "roms"? So they have to be specifically compatible with the head unit, or are there generally valid ones? As I said: I know very little about this area :-(

The rom has to be made for your device, and even that’s not all, it has to be made for your Model (certain models of the same device may not be supported). Google your device rom to see if there are any and if there are, confirm that they support your model.

Ok, thank you in advance for the support.
How do I get the device name out? You can see my screenshots above. The only thing I can read from the device is the name of the SoC.
Since I bought it from a dealer on Ebay, who also didn't provide any further information, I can't read it from him or the packaging either.

Does it not say you device name when you click on about in settings?

The device name seems to be a Qualcomm chip name. Can you link me to the listing?
Probably off-brand, as not brand would name their device a chip. If it’s off brand, prob no custom rom.
I misread something, is this your device?
Wow, 2 mistakes in a row, I did not misread something. Can I see the listing?

Unfortunately no, the seller has withdrawn the offer. I checked myself earlier whether I can still read the offer text from my account in order to read out information. I have emailed the seller and am hoping for a reply.
What you said about the no-name brands sounds logical. There are an infinite number of such devices on the net - most of them look very similar, at least in terms of appearance and connection technology. The only thing these offers have in common is the processor name. That's why I always hoped that there would be universally compatible roms that would enable new features. But the way you describe it, it seems like I don't need to get my hopes up too high.

I'll check later when I'm home! I'll give you feedback then!
The offer from the dealer is no longer online, but there is a very similar offer for a different type of car from the same dealer here:
Für Skoda Octavia Fabia Praktik Yeti Superb 8" Touch Android GPS Navi CarPlay 4262370642976 | eBay
Entdecken Sie Für Skoda Octavia Fabia Praktik Yeti Superb 8" Touch Android GPS Navi CarPlay in der großen Auswahl bei eBay. Kostenlose Lieferung für viele Artikel!
www.ebay.de

I cant learn anything from that.

Yes that is what I thought. The offer does not show any important information. By the way: I would have no problem installing a new head unit from a well-known manufacturer. The fact that I did that with the device in question a year ago was because I had no idea and because it came as a complete kit (that is, including a CAN bus adapter, bezel, etc. ...). However, I do not know where I can find good devices for my Skoda Fabia 2015, or what other options I have.

Aren’t all head unita compatible with all cars. Search for one from a known manufacturer, and for good value for cash.

your seller seems very shady. This may not even be android 10. Mind checking with this

If you are unable to install it, that means the scammer blocked the app, and it is fake. Otherwise, this will tell you your real android version and other things if it being spoofed?
