...or at least a thread dedicated to A7+
The A7+ is out there and it is different. How much is different I dont know, other then official specs. Maybe its still to new or the type of buyers (shopnbc) just dont visit forums like this. Is the A7+ even available anywhere else?
Anyway, i'm sure people are going to be interested in what applies to them and what is just exclusive to original A7, are any of the mods needed/wanted, etc.?
Shopnbc just did another bundle sale, so im guessing there are a lot out there, other thing is elocity mentions XDA so more of us "not to tech incined newb's" may be comming
A7+ to update or not?
just got my A7+ at Christmas. There is an update available from 2.2 to 3.1 at the elocity site. has anyone tried it successfully yet?
I just tried yesterday with no luck, download failed (directly on my A7+)
Probably better for me anyway as I often open a can of worms when trying stuff like that without some guidance
I noticed for the A7 updates there are detailed instructions and you go through yor PC or Mac but no instructions for the 7+
Do I need to prep and save before an update? Also they don't decribe what update included
i called the elocity help lline because i was unable to download the update to the tablet> they said it had to be downloaded to the a micro sd card and the installed from there.
A7+
I really like this A7+. I updated to the new firmware -- it was painless. I'm not sure what was updated. It's still froyo.
It would be nice to have some mods for the A7+ to get the android market, google apps, etc. It sounds like people who used the A7 mods ran into trouble. Has anyone had success on the plus?
i may give it a shot this Fri, it's my next day off that way i will have the whole day to devote to making the update work and not create a brick.
Wow am I glad to find this page, I just purchased this tablet 7+ and already need help, btw it arrived yesterday from shopnbc after having a nook tablet, and hope someone can help me want to get my kindle books have the app however it says sync failed and there is no place to get my book from archive like I can on my Iphone. Secondly what is this new update and is it possible that I have it if so how would I find out. Thanks everyone will for sure be reading all I can about the tablet fron here love the developers.
Yes please, I want to love my new tablet so bad, but Froyo is keeping me from this, and firmwares ported over for the A7 don't work on the A7+. I would love to have Honeycomb or better yet Ice Cream Sandwich for this device. My wife has one of the cheap Allwinner A10 tablets and there are a ton of different firmwares for it. It will also play HD video, which is an issue for the Tegra 2 chip running less than Honeycomb 3.1
At last, an inexpensive multitouch tablet
I just picked up a factory refurbished A7+ for $120 (Toronto, Canada) today and I must say, its touch screen is just about on par with an iPad. I would love to be able to upgrade the unit past v2.2 and at least to Gingerbread but there doesn't seem to be anyone looking at this device on XDA at the moment.
I'd be more than happy to help with hardware mods for the device.
Might creating an A7+ section in parallel to the A7 help differentiate the two devices and prompt some work on the OS?
If you want to have a look at the guts of the unit, go to the FCC-ID OET site, plug in the FCCID (GKR-NAZ10WB) and select the "detail" list.
I noticed that the docking connector is actually on a daughter board that plugs in to the main board. There is no docking connector on the A7+ but there is on the A7.
I also saw there is a slot for a GSM card in the photos!!!
I'll have to open up my unit and verify if my A7+ has the GSM card slot.
Stay tuned
hey bigbop,
did you also notice in those pictures that the board has a netbook style ssd connector ?
I am willing to bet that it has a 4GB ssd attached to it instead of 4GB of flash soldered to the board..
hummm I wonder ... 64GB A7+ anyone ? plus whatever microSD card you jam in the top.
comments from any of the more system savvy people about ghosting the original system to a different size "drive" ?????
Well, unfortunately the A7+ motherboard is different from the A7 in that the internal gsm card slot has been removed and the connector that the docking station daughterboard plugs in to is not installed (the pads are there so you might be able to hack together a cable to bring out the signals for an additional interface)
Actually, does anyone have the specs on the A7 dock? What external ports does it provide?
The chap I bought my A7+ from told me that his wholesale guy (in Canada) had bought five hundred units (at $50 a pop) and they were officially designated as "Factory Refurbished" - he sold them all in two weeks. I've seen them in other places too lately, popping up around the $110 mark. It is a fantastic device, touchscreen is great, Netflix runs great. Easy to McGyver into markets or Apps. I know that Elocity have released the A7 and A7+ kernel information (the A7 package is 432mb and the A7+ is 115mb for some reason) so we can hope that a developer picks it up and runs. If the parent company are jumping ship on the market we can see 50,000 of these units in the hands of people hungry for Honeycomb, well, we can all dream I suppose...
IMHO the A7+ would be a great tablet IF Elocity would release an Ice Cream Sandwich ROM for it. As long as the A7+ is stuck at 2.2 you are better off saving your money and buying an Allwinner A10 based tablet. The A7+ hardware is great, but the OS is garbage. Mine never wakes from sleep, and can't play ANY HD video smoothly. I paid more for the A7+ then I did for my iview TPC760 or my Kindle Fire, and the A7+ is defiantly the biggest turd of them all.
play store 3.5.16 working like a charm on A7+
will repost this on end of get market working on a7+ thread
I followed the destructions provided here (use at own risk, worked perfect for me)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1431967
Thank you Destron5683
with a few exceptions, as noted in the reply's most people had to manually reboot
I bought root explorer on amazon market, required for getting base market working.
Once you get that up and running it's fairly straight forward to install
play Vending-3.5.16.apk (destructions below) which is available from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1582422
scroll to bottom of first post and look for the attached files, I used the non mod version, save this file to root of an sd card
Thank you Deeco7
Again follow at your own risk, this process worked for me, it may not work for you...
I kept an sd card in so I could backup the file in a place that won't get overwritten/deleted if I have to factory reset at some point
open root explorer, make sure your at / in upper left corner, next navigate to /system/app scroll down list to Vending.apk
, long press, copy, hit back twice so your at / again, navigate to /storage/sdcard-disk0 (or wherever you prefer to save backup)
press paste, now rename file to Vending.bak (or whatever you will remember)
rename the Vending-3.5.16.apk to Vending.apk
long press it and select copy, navigate back to /system/app , hit Mount R/W , delete Vending.apk , then paste your new Vending.apk into folder.
hit back button untill root explorer exits, then shut off and restart
you should have Play Store icon in app bin, press it and enjoy.
not sure if it was my router or isp or tablet, apps didn't want to start downloading in play store,
as soon as I exited from play store it had downloaded 1 app and was getting the second one,
they installed fine, hope this helps people (next time I ran play it worked fine so likely isp)
Non Mod version
Hello Ryan,
What is the difference from the Mod version and the Non Mod Version? I have rooted using Z4root and I would like not to install any Mod on it since at this point it breaks camera on Mods that I seen. This Market (Non Mod verision) does it allow to install software that it would not normally install on the system or do I need to edit the buildprop in order to do that? I am looking for older versions of Netflix and Skype to go around the issue (hopefully that works) so I can have a fuller working tablet without changing much on it. I know that video does not work on skype, but the voice and chat should work on version 2.0.45 apk. I also heard that netflix version 1.3 would work.
I recently got a Yoga Tablet 2 8 with Windows on it. After playing with it, I can say I officially hate Windows 8.1 for tablets. I'm willing to give Windows 10 a chance in a couple months, but in the meantime, I'd really like to flash it with the Android. Has anyone done this? Can I just take the factory Android image from Lenovo and flash it? I'm assuming the hardware is nearly identical between the two versions outside of the increased hard drive size. Thoughts?

I really wish this question would get some lovin'

Hello !
realy realy interesting to by this subject.
You Can use the version RC3 of android x86.
http://www.android-x86.org/releases/releasenote-4-4-r3
you will need of rufus software to burn the .img file on a USB stick.
http://rufus.akeo.ie/
don not use the .iso file but img file, and don't forget to disable secure boot in bios/uefi (last version_02WT18WW).
http://support.lenovo.com/fr/fr/products/tablets/yoga-series/yoga-tablet-2-851
you will need to an USB hub because Grub menu does not support touch screen on first boot.
usb keyboard required.
it work pretty well.... it's very smooth !
exect : Bluetooth (I don't realy need) / rotation (but you can use an app from play store) / Sound :crying:
that the real problem ..WOLFSON is a special driver.
some guy are working on this subject.
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/android-x86/BMSMwG0s-fc/Z3lCSiqRIAAJ
a android version of this tablet does exist.. so, I'm surprising that it's so difficult to port android to the Yoga tablet 851-f
If somebody have the solution or a patched img to run correctly android on this tablet it will be really helpful.
pff... why i bought the windows version ?? why ??:silly:
Thanks, sound is a must, will follow this thread closely.
I know, this is old, but why don't try remix OS ? it will be the best android experience on tablet
Again, this is old thread, but I tried Remix os and Phoenix os. Both got stuck on black screen after some white text. IDK why. Any suggestions?
I haven't used my Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 for a long time, but I had clean-installed Windows 10 with all the drivers, but I have the problem that at some point after the clean-install it starts bluescreen'ing right at Boot-time.
Bluescreen error shows ntfs.sys being the problem. I'm sure it's driver-related, or settings-related, because it only happens a few hours after I set everything up again (software, my settings etc.)
I would like to use my Yoga Tablet 2 again for simple reading stuff on the side etc, also due to the nice 'n large 6400 mAh Battery, but I'll have to troubleshoot the Bluescreen Error :/
Hi guys,
I’m looking some advice please re my Nook Color which I’ve dug out of retirement !
The last time I did any work on it was back in 2011, and it’s currently on B & N Software version 1.1.0.
It was rooted way back then, but I’ve now no idea what version of Android (CMod) is on it and was wondering how I could check this please ? (ROM Manager 3.0.0.7 is installed if that’s any help ?)
I reason I’m revisiting the forum is that I’ve recently “purchased” a load of free Kindle books from Amazon, but as the version of the app on the Nook Color is “Kindle for Android 2.0.4.103870164” they won’t sync/connect .
Is it perhaps possible for me to somehow download these ebooks onto a PC (or phone) and copy them to the “/sdcard/Kindle” directory on the SD Card in the Nook ?
Or should I try and put a more recent CM version on the nook, and if so which one, and which guide would you suggest ?
Grateful for any assistance please.
Best regards,
Ric
When you’re in the software try going to Settings and look for About.
I believe you can see what o/s you’re running in there.
I have a Nook Color that I bought the first day it came out. I rooted it and installed CM on it. I believe it was something like CM5.6. But, that’s off the top of my head.
Unfortunately that horrendously designed charging cable busted once too many do I can’t even use mi e anymore. (I’ve moved on to a stock Asus Zenpad z8).
You might want to keep an eye on B&N to see if they have another trade—in promo nearer to the holidays. They were giving $100 off at one time AND the local shop was even letting people keep their old tablets!!

Hello, Good Day,
I was using this iLife Zedbook 10.1" 2in1 Netbook with windows 10 home which was preinstalled when I purchased it, it was fine till recently and updates were downloaded and installed but a recent update made the Zedbook not booting up Win 10, Only get stuck(Bootlooped) at iLife logo, So i watch few video of iLife Air(Cuz there wereno videos regarding technical issue for Zedbook except unboxing and stuffs) and finally got the firmware from iLife official site for the exact part number and made it bootable using Winpe_x86 and flashed it, but unfortunately it did more damage than installing Win 10 into my Zedbook. Now the Zedbook turns on but displays nothing only some kind of white parts here and there on the screen, As far as I know it might be a UEFI installation error (I might be wrong, I am just a noob)
Please someone who can help me with it, TIA

Tried few different QM163E updates from toengel site, only one started but never went past Installing Software screen, no animation.
Red light in philips logo below screen is slowly blinking, never stopping. Version of my TV i got from my old phone when i was searching for updates.
