ICS update success but no Ring interface!?

It is disappointing to see that there was no ring interface after the ICS update. Mainly I was eager to see the Ring interface but nothing.
Is this something we can install separately? or does anyone know the Cyanogenmod or AOKP mod versions has this in their tailor made ROM? If so I will be happy to flash this official ROM and loose it.

Hello, if your tablet is rooted you can download the Acer ring here: http://www5.zippyshare.com/v/16045348/file.html

Hi Thanks for the link - but need to ask you a few more questions.
Since you say 'if my tablet is rooted..' after I had mentioned that I did the official upgrade my question is - even after rooting are these official updates possible?
Second question is, how do I root my tablet? please point me to a link where I can learn more on this.
thanks

Root method
If you go here it will give you all the info you need to get full root. I used it on the new update and it works.
Just take the time to read the instructions fully.

I have the ring on te one that was never flashed with a leak.
But some how after applying that EX theme back the button for addign stuff to it disapeared.

Don't want to give you false hope, but just installing that apk won't make the ring work. There is more to it then that.
That is why there are custom roms with the ring.

Never mind I see why I have the ring, John isntalled the internal Acer build with the Office ring that is dual layers with communication hub.
Personally it's an annoying feature I enjoy NOT having.

[Q] A question regarding 4.2.2 upgrade and native dialer

I have enabled native dialer by modifying framework-res.apk in my Nexus 7 3G with JB 4.2.1.
Now my question is, will the native dialer stay if i upgrade to 4.2.2? Did anybody try? Pls share. Thanks a lot.

Are you on a custom ROM?

No, I simply downloaded a dialer-enabled framework-res in this forum and replaced the original one.
btw, is there any place to download dialer-enabled 4.2.2 framework? I had trouble doing this myself
thanks in advance!

Can you post up your framework-res? I will make the small edit for you. As I understand it, it is just a bool edit "<bool name="config_voice_capable">false</bool>", where you change false to true.

Hi hlxanthus,
Attached is the framework-res.apk from 4.2.2. Really appreciate if you can help!
Thank you!

Here are some flashable packages, that will work for you within twrp or cwm recoveries. If you would rather you can just crack them open to pull the apk out. One has the one I modded and the other is the original you posted up. Please know that this will ONLY work with the rom you pulled the framework-res from. So if this is a stock apk, then that is all you can use this with.
Please note, that while this should give you access to the dialer, it will not magically enable phone calls on your device (that I know of atleast, let me know if I am wrong LOL). You will still have to use a VoIP service like GrooveIP for example to route said phone calls thru your wifi and 3G radios.

I clicked the system update button and reboot....
But it didn't update successfully and stopped in the middle of the upgrade.
I was asked to reboot and I am still in 4.2.1.
Any idea why? The whole process took only a minute or so.
Is it because mine was rooted?

Might be. Other modifications have you made? You might need to flash a stock recovery back in place at the very least.

Native dialer
Hi there,
I have a Nexus 7 Wifi only and i would love to have the stock dialer to use my SIP account.
Can i flash the file here in this thread?
I'm on Paranoid ROM 3 (4.2.2).

[RK3188/3066/2918] Custom Firmware Tool for Windows

Longtime lurker. But its time to contribute! I recently bought a TimingPower RK3188 and searched high and low for these tools. After endless hours of searching and translating Chinese and Japanese I brought this little package together to build your own CFW. This probably isn't for complete newbies but I made it as simple as possible. I can confirm it works on my TimingPower RK3188 using Rockchip Batch Tool as well as copying update.img to SD. Anyway, enjoy!
This is what it does:
Extract update.img as well as system.img
Pre-root your firmware
Open system folder to edit your rom
Repack update.img
I cant post links so previews are a no no I guess. Let me know how it works. If this is the wrong section I apologize.

Thanks !!
Would like to bring to your attention (as you seem the only Chef so far) :

Hope you can help contribute to the thread, and possibly have the first full solution, root, CWM, CFW, custom ROM

Thanks! I was looking for a material Quick installation!

uhhh not sure what to say. i do it in my very rare spare time. i can take requests. i made my personal rom as small as possible. basically all i kept was a browser, google play and a media player. oh and flash player. everything else i just installed from google play

I bought 2 of these

I am quite happy with them. However, some notes are in order. I received them with firmware 20130715 installed, and that does not support 1080p. The timingpower.com website offers 2 updated images for it, one 20131101, the other 20131104. The 20131101 image has some improvements over the 20130715 version, but still offers only 720p, but the 20131104 version does offer 1080p. I updated both units to the 1104 version, and it went smoothly, but it can be a bit unstable at times. The screen and sound cut out at random intervals, but I got used to that, even thought it is quite annoying. Overall the picture is amazing (i use it on a 65" flat screen). Speed is acceptable, not a gaming computer, but fast enough. Takes a bit to get used to using it, keep wanting to right-click stuff for options, and get dumped back a screen.
Suggest that you get a USB 2 hub (more ports are better). I connected a USB keyboard, USB mouse and USB camera (all cheap, nothing fancy), and they all worked fine. However, the tiny Bluetooth keyboard (IS11-BT05) that I got, doesn't seem to work. It pairs up just fine, and shows as recognized, but after that, nothing.
One caution note: if you do flash your device, make sure that you use a newer computer, with USB 2.0 , really old PC's with USB 1.1 will not work.
Making your own version of the ROM shouldn't be too difficult. Plenty of advise here, and there are even some tools available on the TimingPower site. I'm in the middle of customizing mine, and I have not found it particularly difficult. I mainly want to scrap some of the basic stuff, and make it more sleek (to my tastes). I am also considering incorporating a dual-boot option, for Android <-> Linus (not sure of what flavor yet).
BTW, I have an English translated version of the Chinese RKBatchTool Manual, should anyone need it.

thanks!

Instead of clouding up the Original Newsmy forum thread with xdAuto release notes and questions. I've started this new thread.
The latest release includes the OTA Updater so this should be the preferred way to update from now on. A notification should show up when a new version is posted or you can run the application to force a check.
All release can be downloaded from http://xfer.aokp.co/?developer=zaphod&folder=nu3001

Here is an updated BonovoBluetooth APK for people who want to test it out (includes fix for crashing issue).
BonovoBluetooth.apk on my Google Drive
Note that you can't just install this one like a normal Android app.
You'll need to use an app like ES Explorer (or ADB) and root access to replace the file /system/app/bonovobluetooth.apk
There are some good instructions in the old thread here (scroll to the bottom of that post)
Things i've added since last release:
* Split Bluetooth music off from phone and settings.
* Improved the phone connection method a bit
* added an option to duck music rather than mute whenever BT audio plays.

Thanks for the build guys!

You need to press the gear icon under the fav button in the radio app to get into the settings them select your choose your area under type selection. After you do this the tuner will work properly again. I had the same problem.

I'm not sure what you are actually asking. The OTA update works just like any other update which you would have to change the boot logo on afterwards.

The OTA updates are exactly like flashing one of the update zip files (which is exactly what it is). It doesn't happen automatically, so you can just safely ignore it if you have something else you want to do.

Big thanks to all involved as always! Can't wait to get home from work to test! (It's been a long 4 weeks at sea... but this update is one of the many things I have got to look forward to on my return )
Thanks

another question, I see that the scheme XDAUTO keys is attached to this catch.
there way to add shares (following playlist) and (previous playlist)
to keys ???
thanks for everything

YES, I know.
I meant If this update required a particular MCU version.
Or in other terms, which is the most suitable MCU version for this update (running on carpa NU3001)
Thanks

Great job to everyone who has contributed!
Also, Im having some trouble with the AVRCP. Tried to stream music from an Iphone, and only "Unknown" was showing. Is there some comparability issue, or could it be some settings that was made wrong?
I´m on the NR5002 and MCU 49. ( I´ll try to update to the latest to see if anything happens)
Edit: Updated the MCU to v51 and everything worked!

Posting here for more exposure from [ https://forum.carjoying.com/thread-1377-post-10042.html#pid10042 ]
LBDROID_JY_ROM 20171222: (for INTEL JOYING SOFIA ONLY)
1. Open GAPPS mini included
2. xposed built-in
3. pre-compiled dalvik cache included. first boot is clocked for me under 60 seconds.
4. uses TWRP to install.
5. wipes /data during installation. THIS IS A CLEAN INSTALL.
6. uses /openrecoveryscript for zip install. you can add other things here, but do not remove gapps. It will break things.
7. pre-rooted with seSuperuser
8. lbdroid apps:
https://github.com/lbdroid/MCUd
https://github.com/lbdroid/MCURadio
https://github.com/lbdroid/BD37033Controller
https://github.com/lbdroid/HFPClient
https://github.com/lbdroid/SWI_for_MCUd
INCLUDED in /system/app
9. ALL stock JOYING, FYT, SYU applications are REMOVED from this release, this is as close to AOSP as you can get.
10. GPS speed in apps fixed with xposed module, here: pending link
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
Unzip the contents of 5009_lbdroid.zip to a usb drive. Boot to recovery using dave's instructions [ https://github.com/superdavex/joyingsofia ] as this is based off his work, with the USB drive plugged into the Joying Head Unit.
5009_lbdroid.zip link: pending link

https://imgur.com/a/jbJAH
installation video:
If you wish to revert back to STOCK FIRMWARE, here is a stock firmware image signed with test keys. flash this normally follwing joying instructions and it will revert everything back. Note you will no longer be able to flash custom rom's unless you RE INSTALL dave's custom recovery.
stock_test_keys.zip link: pending link
please remember none of this would be possible without superdavex or lbdroid. consider donating to them if you can. thank you both!!
development primarily in at https://forum.carjoying.com/thread-1377-current-state-of-hackishness-.html
Items needing improvement:
HFPCLIENT is based off the test qualcomm client, needs to be re-skinned
need to create a utility to change volume/fader/eq controls
systemui crashes when you insert a memory card, uncertain why
backup cam is disabled in this release for testing. if you wish to re-enable, edit /system/bin/install-recovery.sh and remove line 8.
this is the only custom rom for intel sofia units, this one is specific to the fyt/syu based units. Joying,witson, there are some other brands out there. Anything with a 5009 or 6021 based SoM will work with this relase.
wish we had the OEM signature keys so we could replace the boot and recovery partitions.
need to disable signature verification in android frameworks, need assistance.
systemui doesn't do well with DPI over 200, need to fix this by using systemui apk from another device.
if you have knowledge, please feel free to contribute. all of the work is open source.
questions and feedback as well as contribution always welcome.

You know that lbdroid's dashcam app actually runs on a raspberry pi, connecting to a daemon running on the unit?
As the CustomRom still contains the same kernel, you still can't use 3rd part dashcam and still need the RPI solution.

Not for now, but Im'm sure I'll try this ROM when becames more stable for daily use

This is awesome. Pretty excited to see where this heads. How do the OK Google from any screen work? On the stock Joying ROM it messes up the bluetooth calling function by making the person who gets called hear fax like sounds. Is it possible to install any of the Joying apps? The radio one the make is pretty good. I'm also looking forward to the video to see how the general speed is. Keep up the good work!!

There is an Xposed module for it: https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/xposed-disablesignaturecheck-t2783480
And there should even be a 2nd xposed module for it: Lucky Patcher: https://www.gammerson.com/2015/11/download-lucky-patcher-for-marshmallow.html
Did you know that?
Edit: Malaysk has Lucky Patcher also in his PX5 ROM: https://dl.xda-developers.com/4/1/3....png?key=nflCh5ftX5SlRs4WzXdW-w&ts=1515527420
(I remembered having seen it somewhere). This might also mean he did not at all remove the signature check from services.jar (which is a horrible solution anyway when looking to security)
===================
I had a look this guide (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2458144) to know where to remove the signature check, but the second part is no longer correct for Android 6.
Anyway, as the ROM is odexed we first need to deodex the services.odex to create a complete services.jar
Download baksmali-2.2.2.jar and smali-2.2.2.jar from https://bitbucket.org/JesusFreke/smali/downloads/
Extract the entire framework folder from the 5009_60.zip and put it "somewhere".
Copy the *smali*jars next to the framework folder
As the ROM is odexed we first need to deodex the services.odex (as the services.jar is only 310 bytes)
Code:
java -jar baksmali-2.2.2.jar deodex framework/oat/x86/services.odex -b framework/x86/boot.oat -o services
This will put the deodexed files in folder services
Then we ***should*** be able to remove the signature check by editing the smali(s), but I don't know how to completely do that.
At the end, if we managed to edit the correct smali(s) we need to assemble the services.jar again.
We do that with
Code:
java -jar smali-2.2.2.jar assemble services -o services.jar
This will give us a 5.4MB services.jar
But we miss the most important part: editing of the signatures part.
I put this here in case someone might not know how to deodex jars/apks (I do), but maybe does know how to remove the signature check (I don't)

Hoping more devs see this. Get this ball rolling!

Hi guys,I want a little more beginner's explanation to flash custom ROM.
I understand that you need to update "recovery_new_keys.img" before installing custom ROM.
I downloaded the Recovery_partition from the link of GitHub on the first page.
From here onwards I do not understand even if I read the explanation.
HU has been rooted,thanks
