Brief: Back up All - Contacts & Data (Remove Sim Card)
[Unlock Phone] [Install 'z4root.1.3.0.apk' 955.48kb] [Install 'Rom Manager' Android Market][Install 'Superuser' Android Market]
Ok the way we are doing this is
2.1 -> 2.2 fastboot -> 2.3.3
Start -
First Install Driver on PC:
'LGAndroidDriver_WHQL_ML_Ver_1.0_All_Win7'
Download this Link to PC: KDZ Updater Europe Open.zip 144mb
Put your phone into Download Mode
1. Take out 'Battery'
2. Put in 'Battery'
3. Hold down 'volume down' and hit 'Power-on'
4. The screen should display 'Download mode'
5. Plug in 'USB'
Extract KDZ Updater Europe Open.zip to your PC/Laptop
1. Run 'kdz_fw_upd'
2. Choose '3gqct' as the 'Type'
3. Choose 'Diag' as the mode
4. Click 'File icon' and select 'Europe Open+Fastboot.kdz'
then hit Launch Software Update
Please note: that you DO NOT have to let this flash finish (BUT IT IS EXTREMLY RECOMMENDED.. takes forever on this rom tho lol)
as we only need the fastboot part of it so leave it flashing for a few mins then remove the phone the updater software will come up with a few errors but just ignore them
Ok now we need the latest Recovery version of the swiftdroid software
Since i used 1.8 i will use this in this tutorial
Download Gingerbread 2.3.3 SwiftDroid_v1.9 95.2Mb
Ok extract the above file to your Pc/Laptop
Now take the 'update.zip' file from extracted folder and copy it to the root of your phones 'SD card'
Now put your phone into fastboot mode
1. Take out 'Battery'
2. Put in 'Battery'
3. Hold in 'Camera button' and press 'Power-on'
4. Keep camera button pressed until 'logo' disappears and it shows a 'blank screen'
5. Make sure phone is plugged into USB
Now open where you extracted folder the above archive (Gingerbread 2.3.3 SwiftDroid_v1.9)
1. Open 'CMD' within folder
2. Type 'flash_recovery.bat' to run
What this does is flash cyanogenmod recovery to your phone
which is a great tool for updating firmwares and restoring from bricks
Now we will put the phone into 'recovery mode'
1. Take out 'Battery'
2. Put in 'Battery'
3. Hold down 'Home button' and press 'Power-on'
4. Keep holding down the 'Home button' until the cyanogenmod recovery menu pops up (it takes a while.)
Now to install the 2.3 rom
1. Press the 'volume' down until 'install zip from sdcard' is selected
2. Then press the 'camera button'
3. Then press the 'camera button' on 'apply /sdcard/update.zip'
4. Then Press the 'volume' up and choose 'yes' and press the 'camera button'
Now this part will take a while (around 5-10mins)
it will say flash complete! when finished and will return to menu once done.
Menu will come back up...
Hit your 'Back button' and select 'reboot system now'
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: if your phone hangs after reboot - I would like you to do below because you have ran out of room on your 'Internal memory' or 'Conflict'
Recovery Mode
1. Take out 'Battery'
2. Put in 'Battery'
3. Hold down 'Home button' and press 'Power-on'
4. Keep holding down the 'Home button' until the cyanogenmod recovery menu pops up (it takes a while.)
Wipe Data/Factory Reset
1. Press the 'volume' down to 'Wipe Data/Factory Reset'
2. Then Press the 'volume' up and choose 'yes' and press the 'camera button'
Now restart back at top of this page write-up
Put your phone into Download Mode
1. Take out 'Battery'
2. Put in 'Battery'
3. Hold down 'volume down' and hit 'Power-on'
4. The screen should display 'Download mode'
5. Plug in 'USB'
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thank you for your responce, I have included the MB, KB etc
Just copy/paste program as is on search web and download exact MB,KB
We are new here so I have to wait for 9 before I can come back and readd Links
Hope this helps...
p.s careful of downloads not exact MB or KB they are fake/trojans
Rooting doesn't unlock the phone and also you don't need to install ROM Manager, the GT540 doesn't support it.

Stroll down to bottom the last on current and older posts you'll find two free options but if your phone is not in list or a member of second option being 'Vodaphone' and neither have it -

Thank you aaa801, As I said great first guide write-up, we fix tweaks up now and then that have been written because people overlook things, do not account for updates in their tweaks or forget that people are 'Novice Users'
Its not a good unless it works top to bottom....
My suggestion is to write it as you are doing it to guarantee that nothing is overlooked...
I could not suggest site of original post because they compete with this site..

You assume all responsibility and risk associated with flashing any ROM. Make a backup!!!
ICS 4.0.3 for our xPAD-70 (Type 1 iDx7) and xTAB-70 (Type 2 iDx7).
I must say, that these roms very fast and stable.
What's Working:
camera
touchscreen
physical buttons
wifi
audio, ringtones, notifications, alarms
microphone
root
adb
sdcard
sensors
usb host
everything
Install instruction/download links:
1. Connect the home charger to the Tablet PC. Charge the battery.
2. Download the compressed file to your PC/Laptop.
3. Create an empty folder on your desktop PC / laptop. Extract the downloaded .zip file into this empty folder.
4. Copy the four extracted files ("update.zip", "uImage_recovery", "uImage", "u-boot-512M-UartB.bin","factory_update_param.aml") to the root folder of an empty microSD card (2GB or higher). I you want to wipe and install manually, just delete the factory_update_param.aml file and boot into recovery without that.
5. Safely remove (disconnect) the microSD card.
6. Turn off the Tablet PC, but keep the home charger connected to it.
7. Insert the microSD card into the Tablet PC. After this step, don't pull out the microSD card.
8. Press and hold down the "volume up" button.
9. While holding down the "volume up" button , press and hold down the "power on" button for 6-9 seconds, and release the buttons after the last "upgrading... please wait" like messages.

- Volume up and down buttons can be used to select a menu item.
- The "back" button (which is between the "home" and "menu" buttons) will activate a menu item.
10. Dont forget to hit the thanks button

Sry, i corrected, the second is the xTAB-70 ICS 4.0.3
I can't get BBC I player or Netflix to run with this rom. I get sound but no picture. Does anyone know why. Avi files run fine. Otherwise the from is very good. Been following this on the Hungarian forum but relying on google translate. Only other issue is the inertia scrolling.
Cheers carrotts
Sent from my xPAD-70 using xda premium
I have no idea about Netflix. Is seems to be working with CM nightlies. There is a XDA thread about netfix. I hope there is a solution for this.
This is the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1076150
The inertia scrolling fix appears in the next rom update. I hope.

Is there a way to disable touch to wake on my LG G Watch R?
I like to cross my arms and when wearing a t-shirt it constantly wakes the screen.
I want to avoid Theatre Mode as I want to be able to glance at the screen and see the time.
Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

I am also searching for this:good:
I've been looking everywhere for a solution to this. I hasn't even considered it as an issue, but just a couple of days is enough to make me realise this is a requirement. I can't believe it didn't come up in development! Aside from your own accidental touches, there's also the issue of inquisitive fingers from children touching that nice shiny screen... Tapping the side button to wake the screen would be perfect (whilst retaining the monochrome screen and notifications).
Cinema mode is really dumb. Just very poorly thought out. There has got to be a way to disable touch to wake. Or even enable vibrating notifications in cinema mode.
Yes there is a way
First you have to install twrp on your watch. Because you need the acces to some files. When you have installed, start in recovery mode, and go to mount and press system. Connect your watch to your computer and open adb,
adb root
adb push /system/usr/idc/sec_touchscreen.idc <choose where you want to have the file in your pc>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Make a copy of the file, and open it with notepad++ or other file editor. YOU will se a think like this

So remove the part of ( touch.wake = 1 ) and save (make first a copy of the file), Go to adb

Restat the watch and you will se that the screen is not goin to turn off, pressing the button of your watch. Restart other time the watch and go to recovery.
With the copy of the file, mount other time system on twrp and go to adb

Restart the watch other time. This work for my, but i am using an alpha for gear 2 neo with android, so probably this might be a bug.

Yep you can use it to wake up the device. But as I say, make a backup because this happen with my alpha of the gear 2 neo, so probably this is not going to work with other devices. Just in case xD
Works for me on LG G Watch R
The file name is different "synaptics_rmi4_i2c.idc"
Same edit, copied to sdcard and moved in recovery to /system/usr/idc/ as mentioned above.
I have swipe menu still available and I can swipe down for the quick toggles.
Button is used to wake (and I use screen always on)
Going to be interesting how this performs in the shower and in general. Thanks to the suggestion posted.
Any update on this after using it for a while? Looking to apply this to my LG G watch R running the Urbane port.
Ok well i tried it any ways and i still have the problem when my arms are crossed my arm starts doing things on my watch...
Starting from version 1.6 this app supports wake on touch changing - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sssemil.advancedsettings (here is apk - View attachment AdvancedSettings-v1.6-11.apk)
I downloaded the advanced settings app tried the disable touch wake... it doesn't wake but you can still scroll notifications and long press to change the face.
Any chance of completely turning off the touch screen while in sleep...

I tried the Advanced Settings app on my LG Watch Urbane 2nd Edition with Android 6.0.1, which is not rooted. It has an option for "Touch to wake screen" that I tried to set to "off"; however, when I go back to look at it, it is always set to "on". Do I need to root to have this stay, or is the app just not compatible with 6.0.1?
Update... just answered my own question. It appears you need to be rooted to do this.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yep, it works on Marshmallow 6.0.1 when Rooted. Just tested it on my Huawei Watch.
..
I installed "Showear". You can set a simple touch pattern to unlock the watch. Crossing your arms will no longer trigger any action on your watch (except making the screen on).

Hi m8. I've done this on my LG urbane and works just fine ty a lot... but i modified a little your steps...
1) My lg urbane is rooted
2) I went to the ADB folder in my PC (using windows explorer) then using shift+right click i select "open command window here"
3) in this command window i did:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery (starts twrp)
in the TWRP:
Go to "Mount"
tick the "system" box
In the command window :
adb pull /system/usr/idc/synaptics_rmi4_i2c.idc (Dont need to select the folder, will appear in the ADB folder used to open the command window)***
*** When i tried to write the destination folder have not worked so i strongly advise not to fill this part, the command in the beginning is PULL not PUSH to take from the device and the file to be taken from the device had a different name as someone have stated before ***
4) In the notepad i did
I opened the file with the notepad and edit "touch.wake = 1" to "touch.wake = 0" (I did not delete this part just change the value)
5) in the command window:
adb pull <where you have the file> /system/usr/idc/
6) Reset my phone and works great!
Hi Guys,
I'm using chinese double din android stereo in my car, i don't know the brand (no label or sticker on the box or on the device), when i start the radio system shows pre-saved frequencies at the memory, i'm changing frequency and want to save to memory (like first one) when i hit to save button it saves after the closest frequency, for example if want to save 89.6 FM to memory it saves after 89.3FM directly, i couldn't find the delete pre-installed channels (keep my finger on the memory didn't work, tried the drag saved frequency didn't work too), there is only self motion search button on the interface and it's scanning all frequencies and saves automatically to memory.
as you can see attached radio settings, there are two options, if i select FM INSIDE or AUTOMATCH my radio works, but if i choose the NXP6851 radio app doesn't even starts(it's crashing when i hit to radio button).
I've downloaded couple of tuner app from forum(like MTCFlatRadio) but there is no sound with those apps.
Is there any fm tuner app i can use with my stereo?
My system info and stock radio app's pictures as attached.

first of all thanks to @gouster3 for his post.
Here is what you need to do, after this operation your radio would not let you save stations in desired order but radio app will work much more stable and your device will be rooted (no more bad reception or changing station automatically)
You need laptop, male to male usb cable(never ever try to do this operation through wireless ) and a paperclip or toothpick to hit reset button :
-you can buy or make an male to male usb cable, making one is pretty easy
-find two usb data cables, cut the cable from half or as you desired
-there will be 4 cables in it red-white-green-black
-solder those cables regarding their colors : red to red - white to white - green to green - black to black, don't just wrap them eachother and tape it,it could causing flash errors, soldering is the solid & best way, after soldering the cables just tape them to avoid any short.
download this rom : https://mega.nz/#!Fh8RUQIK!NjTdZOhAU9CRqaUihy-kUR7CxwVmP5P2M8jrPKHo2Ro
Extract the archive to your desktop;
- install drivers from SP_Driver folder
- make backup of your device, i didn't do it because it's easy to recover from brick,but a backup is better way.
Flashing process:
- open flash_tool.exe from ATC_Flash_Tool folder
- select Download-Agent MTK_AllInOne_DA.bin from ATC_Flash_Tool folder
- select Scatter-loading File AC8227L_Android_scatter.txt from Firmware folder
- make sure PRELOADER is not checked. (There isnt any in in my fw. Just in case if u use this guide for some another fw)
- press Download button
- connect your USB A to A cable one side to PC, another one to your head unit. I recommend u to use that 4 pin usb port (that one with smaller plastic end), but shouldnt matter.
- press RST button on your head unit (use some pin, paper clip or toothpick)
-wait until flashing process ends. There should appear green message.
- press RST button again and let yout headunit boot.
- perform factory reset on your head unit to prevent any bugs
after flashing a good boot you'll see old radio app still there here is what you need to do :
-download FmRadio.app from here https://mega.nz/#!Ifp0wSLC!ht3m0p9br7gi8cpAXTl2EEmorLxy_s2lXA3ccWxGcVU
-copy to your usb memory
-install rootexplorer from google play store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.speedsoftware.explorer
-goto root->system->privapps
-You'll see there is a FMRadio.apk
-Cut and move to your usb drive (or just delete it,but i don't like delete things) (do not left that old FMRadio.apk there, if you do that it's installing the old app no matter what you do)
-Switch to your usb drive and copy downloaded FmRadio.apk
-Switch back to FmRadio folder under root->system->privapps and paste the downloaded FmRadio.apk
-Give permissions 0764
-goto factory settings (pasword 8888) and select reboot
-let the device reboot and ready
-open the radio app and you'll see radio app has changed as attached picture

go to here : https://forum.xda-developers.com/android-auto/mtcb-software-development/mod-boot-animation-toyota-t3351617
-download boot animation as you desired
-extract the archive file and copy to your usb drive
-goto system->media
-you'll see bootanimation.zip
-rename it (like bootanimationold.zip)
-copy your own boot animation to system->media
-change copied file name to bootanimation.zip
-set permission as 0644
-reboot the device
-walkthrough of how to change boot animation is here : https://www.hongkiat.com/blog/change-android-boot-animation/
after full reboot your boot animation will change and your radio will work much better, it's still doesn't allow you to save stations as your order but works much better than the old one,i'm still looking for better radio app,if i find one i'll share here.
Your side buttons can loose calibration after this operation,to fix it go to factory settings->touch calibration
If you have reverse or forward camera it could go black after this operation, to fix it factory settings->Protocol Parameter Settings->Reverse video resolution settings->NTSC/PAL, save and your cameras will work fine(no reboot required.)
Hi Sheshman,
it's good that you've found a solution on this issue. Well done!
I'm not ready to change firmware on the unit. As it is, the unit serves my main purpose of using wireless CarPlay. When it works, don't touch it!

yeah i'm using for same purpose too (car play,screen mirroring etc.) but the radio was itching my brain you know , this unit is cheap and does the job perfectly, don't change the firmware if you don't need to (it's painfull process as you know).
Cheers

first of all thanks to @gouster3 for his post.
Here is what you need to do, after this operation your radio would not let you save stations in desired order but radio app will work much more stable and your device will be rooted (no more bad reception or changing station automatically)
You need laptop, male to male usb cable(never ever try to do this operation through wireless ) and a paperclip or toothpick to hit reset button :
-you can buy or make an male to male usb cable, making one is pretty easy
-find two usb data cables, cut the cable from half or as you desired
-there will be 4 cables in it red-white-green-black
-solder those cables regarding their colors : red to red - white to white - green to green - black to black, don't just wrap them eachother and tape it,it could causing flash errors, soldering is the solid & best way, after soldering the cables just tape them to avoid any short.
download this rom : https://mega.nz/#!Fh8RUQIK!NjTdZOhAU9CRqaUihy-kUR7CxwVmP5P2M8jrPKHo2Ro
Extract the archive to your desktop;
- install drivers from SP_Driver folder
- make backup of your device, i didn't do it because it's easy to recover from brick,but a backup is better way.
Flashing process:
- open flash_tool.exe from ATC_Flash_Tool folder
- select Download-Agent MTK_AllInOne_DA.bin from ATC_Flash_Tool folder
- select Scatter-loading File AC8227L_Android_scatter.txt from Firmware folder
- make sure PRELOADER is not checked. (There isnt any in in my fw. Just in case if u use this guide for some another fw)
- press Download button
- connect your USB A to A cable one side to PC, another one to your head unit. I recommend u to use that 4 pin usb port (that one with smaller plastic end), but shouldnt matter.
- press RST button on your head unit (use some pin, paper clip or toothpick)
-wait until flashing process ends. There should appear green message.
- press RST button again and let yout headunit boot.
- perform factory reset on your head unit to prevent any bugs
after flashing a good boot you'll see old radio app still there here is what you need to do :
-download FmRadio.app from here https://mega.nz/#!Ifp0wSLC!ht3m0p9br7gi8cpAXTl2EEmorLxy_s2lXA3ccWxGcVU
-copy to your usb memory
-install rootexplorer from google play store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.speedsoftware.explorer
-goto root->system->privapps
-You'll see there is a FMRadio.apk
-Cut and move to your usb drive (or just delete it,but i don't like delete things) (do not left that old FMRadio.apk there, if you do that it's installing the old app no matter what you do)
-Switch to your usb drive and copy downloaded FmRadio.apk
-Switch back to FmRadio folder under root->system->privapps and paste the downloaded FmRadio.apk
-Give permissions 0764
-goto factory settings (pasword 8888) and select reboot
-let the device reboot and ready
-open the radio app and you'll see radio app has changed as attached picture

Now just v2 available.
And small spoiler for you...
Messing up with android auto connection from phone to radio..

i did my tests about it couple weeks ago, android auto successfully paired and connected every 2 or 3 times over 10 tries, my problem was my phone,i'm using xiaomi mi 8 lite, when i try to install android auto from play store it says your phone doesn't support this app and not installing, so i downloaded the anroid auto app and installed manually to my phone,it works but really glitchy (i don't know it's the right word),so i assume that my phone causing the problem but i don't have any other brand to test it, what i can say is basicly it works on this head unit but i think it needs little bit tunning to make it work.
RDS problem

Hi Guys,
I'm using chinese double din android stereo in my car, i don't know the brand (no label or sticker on the box or on the device), when i start the radio system shows pre-saved frequencies at the memory, i'm changing frequency and want to save to memory (like first one) when i hit to save button it saves after the closest frequency, for example if want to save 89.6 FM to memory it saves after 89.3FM directly, i couldn't find the delete pre-installed channels (keep my finger on the memory didn't work, tried the drag saved frequency didn't work too), there is only self motion search button on the interface and it's scanning all frequencies and saves automatically to memory.
as you can see attached radio settings, there are two options, if i select FM INSIDE or AUTOMATCH my radio works, but if i choose the NXP6851 radio app doesn't even starts(it's crashing when i hit to radio button).
I've downloaded couple of tuner app from forum(like MTCFlatRadio) but there is no sound with those apps.
Is there any fm tuner app i can use with my stereo?
My system info and stock radio app's pictures as attached.

My android head unit , when enter in factory settings then radio has also 3 options , but I can`t switch from FM inside to NXP6851... when I save it and return to radio change is not kept, and again is on FM inside? Thera are red letters After the success of the save please reset again!!! but I really don`t know what to do and how to reset ...any help? Thanks
I was using my NXP6851 and with the same problem of setting stations, I pressed the Search key and then the tuner disappeared. I only see the radio APP. How do I solve it?
hello, i have the same head unit but i have 1gb ram/ 16 rom. this is possible update rom in this topic?
