[Q] Supercharge 7.1 or 7.2 KANG

Hey guys,
I've test ICS and came across the need to do a supercharge.
Now I'm back to CM7.1 and I've been wondering what the method is to get it supercharged as well (and 7.2 KANG along the way).
The shell script part is pretty understandable, but I'm unable to understand whether or not I need to replace services.jar in the update zip. If I do need to do so, then which services.jar file do I need to put in there (there's a quite a few and some of them didn't work for me when I jumped and tried to do it myself).
Thanks in advance.

I made a guide for supercharging ICS with the proper services.jar for the nook here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1508481
Works like a charm, really.
If you want to use the script on any version of CM7, the ROM needs no modification. Leave the services.jar as is. The guide still works, skip to step 5 but just remember to unselect Lock Home in Memory in the device settings.
Look at the second post if you would rather the short and sweet version. The top post attempts to explain exactly what you are doing to your device and why.

Thanks for the quick reply.
It just so happens that I have followed (and bookmarked) your guide when getting my ICS
Unfortunately, I have tried the 3/3 Opengl and it had many lockups.
Any ICS you would recommend? (I know it's a bit off-topic, sorry).

Yeah, I know what you mean. I can't run OpenGL on a daily basis yet either. But the builds without OpenGL work great. The threads can be a little hard to follow, what with their length and all the custom zips, I know, but he actual builds themselves are great.
I kept going back to 7.2 after checking in and trying a nightly. But maybe ten days ago, the audio from Nook Tweaks got patched, and know I can listen to movies and music at an acceptable level and I realized it was ready enough for me.
Really, the last thing on my list would be an enabled net filter, to run a firewall. But I am super-impressed with ROM.
Hope that helps. Just all of a sudden, it seemed ready.

Just to clarify, you're satisfied with the 3/3 rom w/o opengl?

Yep, I have been testing a bunch of programs on ICS over the last three weeks or so, and while flashing the nightlies over that time, the last couple things that I needed came through the repo. When the patch for the audio boost in Nook tweaks came through, I could use the movie and music players and finally hear them, which was a huge gain for the users. The VPN that I use works, Sync works. Almost every system app has been greatly improved.
Don't get me wrong, there are some big holes to be filled. Flash works only with OpenGL, which I find still to be too buggy and slow for daily use (although some have been reporting fine daily use), and I can't seem to find a firewall that blocks apps from the internet, which is a pet issue of mine. If you want to customize your launcher and overall look and feel, then those features will likely be the last to come around. I don use YouTube and the like hardly ever, but nonHD videos play only.
The progress is brisk, though. I spend maybe fifteen minutes upgrading the nightly as I go to bed at night, the builds seem to add a huge chunk of functionality every day.
One last tip I only recently discovered: people have complained about battery life, but I found it mostly analagous to cm7 with the major exception that deep sleep seemed fitful at best. I just realized that deep sleep doesn't seem to work when I shut the screen off manually. If I let it time out naturally (if it can be said to be natural, then it sleeps with no problem. Now battery life seems totally acceptable.
Just depends what you need to work, I guess, but this is my only real computer when I am away from home for work, and I use it daily now.

Lenovo K1 JB V5

I would like to put in my 2 cents on the JB V5 by Krook1. I have installed the ROM and have to agree with others, my Bluetooth will try to turn on then it will shut itself off again. Also as a side note I had Conde Nast "Wired Magazine" working on khanning official ICS 4.0.3 ROM and now it will start but crash on JB V5.
Keep up the fight for the best ROM possible since Lenovo left us high and dry.

Do you know if it has the same app compatibility Khannings recent ICS rom has?

No it doesn't. I'm finding all the apps I normally use but the model number is "K1" rather then "Xoom"

Right, several people now are reporting the Bluetooth problem with v5. Not sure what would have changed to make it break between v3 and v5, because it doesn't look like the changes were in that area. Otherwise I'm very happy with it -- hope the fix is something simple!
Regarding compatibility, I haven't found too many apps that aren't compatible, but some (Amazon Mobile, for instance) have not been compatible since the K1 came out, and still aren't.

Hi
Sorry i am not sure if this is the right place. I've also have v5 an bluetooth isn't workin. But i have a bigger problem(for me) i can't start youtube over the app icon. After googeling a while i find out that i can start over the widget but cannot access the startpage.
I already tried a reflash of v5 and also deinstalled / installed youtube a few times

The YouTube app seems to be running fine on my tablet with CM10 v5. I assume you mean you're having trouble launching it from the standard YouTube app icon in the launcher, but it seems OK to me. Have you tried going into Settings->Apps, finding YouTube, and deleting the data and cache?
I see in the development thread that krook says he will be looking into the Bluetooth problem (Thanks, krook! :good. Let's hope it's an easy one.
Is anyone else experimenting with the Overclock kernel? I've tried running at 1.2GHz, and it seems to run smoothly, without any glitches, but I'm a little afraid to push it up to 1.4GHz.

I've been using it all day at 1.4ghz and its been fast and smooth! Hasn't even been getting hot. I'll probably take it back down to help save battery life and take it up when I need the extra power boost.

Thanks, I guess I'll have to give it a try. I'm not sure if it would be easy to tell if the processor was getting warm. Based on some teardown pictures of the K1 I saw, it looks like the processor is on the side of the internal circuit board that faces the screen (essentially, it's sandwiched in between the circuit board and the back side of the screen), so it probably wouldn't be easy to tell if it's getting hot. Still, it doesn't usually stay at peak frequency for very long, and even at 1.2GHz it's pretty darn zippy!

K1 JB v5 Wifi Tethering
Did someone tried to use Wifi Tethering?
I installed v5 and i didn't find the option to turn Wifi Tethering on. UMTS (3G) is working well.

Is your Bluetooth working on your 3G version of v5? It appears that Bluetooth is broken (won't turn/stay on) in v5 for most of the WiFi tablet users. I assume you're talking about tethering via Bluetooth.

Speed up your startup time
I posted this over on the Lenovo forums, but thought it useful enough that it might be worth repeating here:
===============================================================
Useful tip I discoved today: I noticed that my tablet startup seemed to be taking a lot longer than it used to, so I did some investigation and found that a process called the Media Scanner that was eating up a bunch of CPU time during system startup. It turns out that this process scans all the folders on internal storage (other than hidden or system areas) and on the external SD card for any kind of media file (mp3, pictures, movies, etc.). I had a couple of large folders of files on my external SD card containing app backups from Titanium Backup and a previous backup app that I had used, so I realized the scanner could be taking some time to go through those folders.
Well, it turns out that if you put an empty file with the name ".nomedia" (note the initial period) in a folder, then the media scanner will skip the scanning of that folder and all of its subfolders. And sure enough, after having put such a file in several folders that I knew contained no media, and rebooting, the boot process (i.e., the time until all apps are loaded and stable) went much faster.
I assume that many people who have done these ICS/JB upgrades might have similar large backup folders for their apps, so I thought this was a tip worth passing on, to speed up your startup time.

I find the CM10 rom to be the best of the lot. I am using V5 and before that I tried the official Lenovo roms but it was unstable.

Agree. Krook has announced that he should shortly have a fix for the Bluetooth issue introduced in v5, and with that, I think this will be the "complete package".

[Q] CM10.1 - Ready for Prime Time on the Nook Color (encore)?

I have a Nook color wiped with a full version of the last stable release of CM7. It works well, but with that irritating problem of wifi reliability.
I would like to upgrade to CM10.1. The goal is to use the Nook as a development platform, while still sharing it with my wife to actually read books.
Here is the questions: Is release candidate two (RC2) of Cyanogenmod 10.1 stable enough on the Nook for daily use? I want the latest and greatest, but I don't have the time to constantly be chasing down problems, nor do I want my wife to kill me because her "book reader" has become unstable.
Do I hold out for RC3, wait for a stable release, or jump right in with RC2?
All comments and suggestions are welcome.

While CM10/4.1 was promising, CM10.1/4.2 has been a pain.
The interface seems all weird (it use a Phone interface instead of Tablet), and the performance makes the Nook Color nearly unusable. I'm talking single-digit framerates and choppy scrolling.

Personally, I found PA to be smoothest I tried... surprisingly smooth for the NC.
YMMV

I don't know about the others, I lost WiFi connections once every 2-3 hours using the most recent builds including rc2.
The fix is just turning the eifi off and on again.
However I never got sod so it is acceptable for me.

Thanks for the info guys, but the question is still up in the air. What condition is CM10 in for the nook? The wifi issues in CM7 make it useless as a connected device anywhere except with my home router (go figure). Is anyone using CM10 as their daily driver, and if so what build are you using, and where would you place the frustration level on a scale from one to 10?

I'm using CM10.1, RC2, and I'm having only very minor issues that are probably due to the ancient hardware (Flipboard sometimes freezes on me after 10 minutes, and browsers are slow, except for the very light Naked Browser). Everything I need works great, including wifi. I took it on a three week business trip to South America recently and only used my laptop once, doing email every day with no hiccups. I think it helps to tweak some settings, and use the Seeder app. Scrolling isn't butter smooth, but it's very good. Frustration level close to 0. Go figure.

I used CM10.1 for few months, it worked very good. I would say my frustration level maybe 1, and pretty much nothing compared to the satisfaction. I liked the key board, wifi connection, HD video play (for example in youtube), Browser and new UI in CM10.1 over 7.2.
recently I upgraded to CM10.1 RC4. I also did the following things to make it better. after boot up, it still has close to 150 MB memory.
1. tablet UI by autopatcher.
2. V6 SuperCharger
3. ES Task Manager to disable some startup services like Email, Email Exchange and etc.
4. Seeder.
The result is very good. It runs very smooth.
Only frustration is the speaker's volume which is low. I am using Speaker Boost, looks like helped little ( but not very sure).

I uploaded RC4's tabletUI patches, and you can get them in my signature link for My 4 Shared.

I tried one of the RC's back in the day for CM10 and didn't like it much. It seemed slow and glitchy, and it kept corrupting my SD card, so I went back to CM7 for a while, and then tried the CM10.1 nightly for 6-17 yesterday and had SD card problems again. Switching to a higher quality SD card fixed that problem, seems 4.x's file access methods make it more finicky with external media than 2.3's. According to LMT's status bar, my NC is running at 1000mhz, and everything has been fairly stable, although there are a few apps that seem to grind it to a halt, most notably the new Opera browser, although I hear that may just be an issue with their new version, using Opera classic seems to run fairly well. As far as getting the true tablet experience, I had to switch the launcher over to Apex, which has a tablet mode that removes the phone-style dock. On another note, I have two Android phones, an older one running CM7, and a new one running ICS out of the box, tried wireless tethering on each and found that my NC could Ad-hoc into the newer one and share it's internet at remarkable speeds, but couldn't maintain a connection to the CM7 phone even if I skipped DHCP and manually set the IP. I tried Bluetooth on this one and found that neither Sixaxis or Wiimotecontroller worked, but the NC did detect the Wiimote I tried, so I know Bluetooth is working. If I can find my BT headset, I'll give it a try and see if I can't make some internet phone calls. At this point, I'm going to be using CM10.1 as a daily driver, I think it's VERY usable, with my only annoyance being that it's a little slow to boot - any custom boot animations I use other than the one that comes with it are choppy and freeze up, and once the OS has loaded, I have to wait 10-20 seconds while the lock screen says (WIDGET LOADING) to even get the lock screen clock, but after that it's smooth sailing.
On the subject of reading books, I installed Moonreader+ and read some books on it yesterday, so that's still working just fine.

[Q] What dash installation ROM?

Currently running timurs rom but it crashes a lot. Are there other roms that allow fast charge, sleep/wake with power, on screen volume etc.
Any help greatly appreciated

I've been running Timur's ROM as well and I really want an alternative as well as I've been facing issues with the ROM, and it looks like Timur has discontinued development on the 2012 model.
From what I've seen so far though CM11 should support USB DACs so I'm keen to try that out.
Some notes:
Fast charge - that's a kernel setting so any custom kernel should allow that.
Sleep/Wake on power - After many months of usage, sleep or even firm sleep has been a hit or miss for me. When it works, it works really well but sometimes a some random app might cause a wakelock, draining the battery. Even otherwise, there are many other issues such as USB audio doesn't resume. Plus the battery tends to drains quicker + looses health because of being in a hot car.
So instead, what I'm planning to do, is to just completely shutdown/boot up a tablet on power. Some notes:
- Bootup time is fairly quick - about 30 seconds, upto a minute, which is acceptable for me. You can reduce the startup time even further by using apps like BootManager to prevent unnecessary apps from starting up. Perhaps we can slim down the ROM further by deleting unnecessary apks etc.
- Fresh start is always a better option - you don't want your tablet to crash while driving right? I've had to reboot many times before or during driving, and it annoys me to say the least.
- USB audio always works fine when booted (well, with Timur's ROM anyways, need to test with CM11/others)
- No battery drain due to device standby or wakelocks
- No overheating and loss of battery health
- For shutdown on power loss, we can use Tasker. Maybe make a script to first turn the screen off, and after say 10 minutes of idle turn off the device completely (this will give us a chance to resume quickly in case we stopped the car for some reason).
- For startup on power, we can use the fastboot oem command to make the device automatically power up
On-Screen Volume: From daily usage, this hasn't been very practical in reality. I mean if you're driving, you really shouldn't be looking at the screen and trying to aim at the tiny buttons. Instead, a better option would be to use gestures to control the volume. There are heaps of apps for this, eg: All In One Gestures, Tasker, Gesture Navigation, GMD GestureControl, etc. You could use a single-swipe down and swipe-up to increase the volume up/down. Swipe left/right to change tracks. Two finger swipes to switch between apps. Just use your imagniation.
Might seem like a lot of work initially, but IMHO it'll be worth it, at least to get a stable ROM which is updated regularly (not to mention, you get to use the newest GApps!).
My only concern is to get the DAC working on startup. Might have to look into Timur's startup scripts to see how he does it - maybe even port the FHD scripts over to 2012 if necessary.

do you have a link to any fast charge kernels ? all i can find is Timurs ?

Use a kernel tweaking app, like TricksterMod.

ok downloaded that and it means nothing to me im afraid. how would i turn on fast charge for example or OTG host mode, firm sleep etc ?
only thing i can find where i assume you can set things is the " SysCtrl Editor" but it jsut comes up with a huge list of stuff that i have no idea about.
i assume i need to find fast charge in sysctrl and change it from 0 to 1... but cant find anything under the search. not a clue what id be looking for
starting to think Timurs rom was simple compared to this. haha
thanks for the help

i saw that, but yet again. dont know how to use it ? where do i place it on the tablet. it doesnt show up in recovery mode

You have to install it. Copy it to your device and then use a file manager to open and install it. It will create an icon in your drawer. When you open it, you'll have options to configure firm-sleep etc.

Done. Worked at first but now I've reverted to timurs rom. The tablet froze loads. Wouldnt open some apps at all and power on/off with ignition wasn't reliable. Sometimes it woke, sometimes it didnt. Will give it another go when i habe more time i think.

On a related note, I haven't had much luck with getting my DAC to work with other ROMs - even with Kang-aroo kernel. I'll have to try CM11 with _crue_'s USB audio patches and Netfluke's kernel this weekend and see how it goes.
Edit: No luck. Maybe because it's I'm on tilapia. Even with cm11, Netfluke's latest kernel, and _crue_'s updated audio patches for cm11, couldn't get it to work. And it's a Fiio E17, which I've had no issues with on Timur's ROM.
And no, I'm not going back to Timur's CM10 - it's old. I can't use any of the newer GApps on it, and the ROM is buggy.
I think I'll swap my tilapia with my 2013 deb and use that as a car device instead. It looks like Timur just updated his kernel to v1.0 which fixes a lot of bugs - at least it's being actively developed. As for my tilapia, I'll switch to a more stable/mainstream ROM like Omni and forget about USB audio for now.

[IMPORTANT NOTICE] Ultratablet issues/bugs reporting & future updates

Hello Ultratablet users,
First, thanks for your continued support. If you are an Ultratablet user that has felt disappointed in your experience in any way, and would like to help us allocate our resources to be put to work efficiently, please read on.
With all of our products, we've consistently taken the approach of getting them in the hands of the users first, and then collecting as much feedback as possible so that we can improve upon the experience quickly and early in the life of the product. We are at our core, a software company first. That's why you would have experienced a lot of updates early when we first started shipping Ultratablets in the middle of 2015.
The earliest updates fixed critical issues that affected the majority of users. Later, the updates addressed certain types of usage issues including video playback, widely used apps issues, etc. At that point in time, we also had support from the design house for the board.
We're at a point now where much of the issues we see our users reporting to be related to platform or firmware issues. Solutions for these types of issues need the design house that designed and manufactured the board in the Ultratablet to be involved. However, their support have now basically slowed to almost a stop because they generally move on from old business to focus on new business. This is an unfortunate, but business driven and standardized way of operations in our industry.
Thus, what we can still do today is deal with software related issues that we can resolve. For platform or firmware related issues, we have almost reached a proverbial ceiling. I write this so to be transparent and honest.
Moving forward, here are two ways we can collect information about the current issues affecting your Ultratablet experience and how we can still provide updates and support. Knowing what the current issues are is the first step to allocating resources to fix these issues.
1. Fill out the following form and please provide us as much detail as possible:
http://support.jide.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
2. Provide details of your issue in detail here in this thread. Please include:
Remix OS version (Found in 'Settings > About tablet')
Serial number (Found in 'Settings > About tablet')
Detailed explanation of issue including affected app(s), opened apps. A screenshot or a video of the issue goes a long way. These details help us attempt to reproduce the issue in-house so we can troubleshoot them here.
After a week or so, I will collect all the issues reported in the form and here, and I'll work with the product manager to work on an update that fixes what we can.
Thanks for your continued patience and understanding.

With all due respect, I would take the lack of responses you are sure to get to be indication of how most of us feel. While I get that we were supporting a Kickstarter campaign, I didn't quite expect to be left behind so quickly, hardware or not. It didn't take very long at all for new devices to come up, with new and better updates that NEVER would come to the first launch your company made.

I do get what the lack of responses may allude to. Since the Ultratablet Kickstarter campaign, we have issued around 30 updates and migrated the Ultratablet from to Remix OS 1.0 (based on Android 4.4) to Remix OS 1.5 (based on Android 5.0) to Remix OS 2.0 (based on Android 5.1). I also acknowledge that updates have been fewer and fewer for the past few months, especially since the Tegra 4 chip doesn't support Marshmallow.
I have thus far gotten one private message with a list of detailed issues the user is facing with the Ultratablet. With that list as our only compass, I'm working with the product manager to see what we can fix. If you could also share a list of the issues you face as well, we'd have more information to work on.
As far as new and better goes, are you reffering more to upgrades to Remix OS 3.0, which Ultratablet's chip doesn't support, or are you referring to specific features? If there are features from other versions of Remix OS that you feel would fit well on Ultratablet, we'd be happy to incorporate them.
Finally, I do apologize on behalf of all of us here if the Ultratable community feels "left behind". We do know that our earliest users put us on the map in the first place. We also have to first survive as a startup or else, we wouldn't even be chatting this moment.
Please leave us as detailed notes on your issues as possible. We're still commited on fixing the issues we can. Thanks.

It is related to ALL OS's based on the Linux kernel, Android, Ubuntu, RedHat, Debian, etc.

For me the biggest problem is audio stuttering while screen is off. I have filled out a form as OP requested but I got answer that it is already fixed. Not for me, I am on the latest version and the problem is there. I did fastboot Remix OS image restoration and via OTA went to the latest. I would like to hear you loud if audio stuttering exist for you or I am the only one.

@RemixOS_Jason Yes I am on the lastest version. Aplications which trigger this issue are streaming apps, for me mainly Spotify and Soundcloud. My suspicion is when a screen goes off the tablet limits wifi data and because of it a stuttering appears.

@RemixOS_Jason while we are having your attention here I would like to ask about one small enhancement. I am not aware if Remix OS 3.0 has it or not but a feature which I miss very much is expanding notification. In 2.0 we are not able to do so. Moreover the spotify notification does not have a playback controll at all.

Thanks for sharing this along with the app that is having this issue.
@Marcink00 - Can you also help by indicating the app(s) that are creating this issue for you?
@Marcink00 @heavyt - Can I assume that you guys are all on the latest version of Remix OS on your Ultratablets?
Thanks again.

@RemixOS_Jason I have discovered that I can stop the stuttering in audio when the tablet's screen is blank and an audio app is playing by connecting the tablet to a usb charger. So if the audio is suttering while the tablet's screen is sleep, plugging in a charger to the the tablet will stop the stuttering. So it seems the problem is active when the tablet is on battery power. This only works with a usb charger not the magnet charger.

Display Link Presenter & Screen Standby
Resolved since this post, however the request for widgets is still valid.
I am using these two apps along with a Targus USB docking station. This allows me to use an external monitor and it works well. The issue I have is with the Screen Standby. The only way to engage it is to open the play store and then open the app. I believe in normal Android, this app is widget based and for Remix therein lies the problem.
I have attempted to check open in full screen mode and normal mode with no improvement in either case.
Please consider adding widget support for those of us who do have requirements for widgets.
Thank you.

Hey Tom,
I just checked with the product manager and it appears that widget support was taken away from Ultratablet global users while the Chinese ROM kept it. I'm entirely sure why as the person in charge at the time is no longer on the project.
In any case, we'll add it to features that will show up in the next update. The ETA, I suspect for the next update is within a couple of weeks.
Thanks,
Jason

I've just shared your comment with the product manager. For the past week or so, we've been trying to reproduce the issue without success. The closest our Ultratablets come to "stuttering" is that audio (for apps like spotify, soundcloud, etc) will lag for a split second after the Ultratablet goes to sleep. After that, on our Ultratablets, the audio returns and plays normally.

@RemixOS_Jason, I thank you for your quick response. But I am very puzzled that the problem can not be reproduce by your team. Have you tried with the keyboard attached and tablet running on battery only?
A quick solution would be to send the tablet that you have that is working without suttering to me and I will send you my tablet, OK?

I've got lots of complains about this tablet. I upgraded my Remix Mini pledge after raising a question about the Ultratablet's relatively old SOC and potential future support. Of course I was told that there's nothing to worry about and that it's a fully capable SOC that will receive enough future support. The Ultratablet was practically abandoned a mere year after its release, and I don't see the Mini getting any more than "Security and stability" updates, so we basically can forget about new features here.
I barely use my Ultratablet mainly because it's so damn buggy! Not to mention the usual stutter and not-so-fluid interface. I think those are the reasons even you guys stopped using it. If you were using your own tablet for only a few hours a week, I'm sure you'd find enough bugs to fix that'd keep you busy for another year.
And how about backporting new features back to the Ultratablet?
But if you insist only on bugs, let me make a short list for you:
1. It's impossible to simulate a right-click on tablet-mode (without a keyboard). Let's say you want to access the right-click menu of a running application on a taskbar without a keyboard - it's impossible to do.
2. There's a 50% change that the trackpad will miss my double-click action for opening apps.
3. Suddenly closing apps - this one is weird. I opened Chrome a couple of minutes ago, looked away for a second and it was gone. Same goes for other apps. Mostly happens with the Play Store (might be easier to find).
4. Battery life is still BAD. I started writing this post with around 90% , and now I have 71%. This is NOT normal by any means. You look at less than two hours normal usage. My phone got a smaller 3000mah battery and a QHD display and with the same usage PLUS cellular connectivity and Bluetooth on all the time I'd get triple if not more usage time.
5. When minimizing fullscreen apps, you'd get like a second of black screen time before the next app/desktop shows. Seems like a small thing but can sometimes drive you mad!
6. We used to have 5GHz network support on OS 1.5. Now it's gone! Plus, it doesn't pick as many networks as my other devices sitting right next to it.
I can go on all day about my problems with this device, and there are other, more critical bugs that I just can't remember now, since the last time I used this device was like a month ago (and that also lasted no more than an hour).
I'm willing to help provide logs/screen records or whatever necessary to get a better understanding of the issues I brought above.
I'm of course on the latest 2.0.305 version.
Cheers.

I think I can work the exchange out. I'll contact you in private messages so we can initiate the exchange.
As for the usage test, I'm using Spotify to stream music. Then, I set display sleep to 30sec. After it goes to sleep, the playlist continues to play without stuttering. The closest we've come to reproducing your issue is when I'm in SoundCloud, it will pause for half a second when the display goes to sleep. But then, the music picks back up without issue and continue playing.
