Ok, I have a good one for the specialists...

I modified gSensor in my Loox kernel to work correctly. So x,y,z axis are correct and homescreen is rotating perfect.

Now, the Loox tablet has only front CAM and it rotates correctly too, i.e. you can rotate the tablet but the picture stays always vertical.
But if you check the picture with something written or a barcode, you see, that it is mirrored horizontially.

Ok, I got the datasheet of the CAM and the sources, so I modified the OV7675 driver of the RK2918 kernel and the picture is not mirrored anymore... But now the rotation is broken again... if you rotate the tablet clockwise, the image doesn't stay vertical, it rotates counter clockwise.

I tried every combination of the rotation setting, and the options to flip the picture vertical or horizontally... Nothing helps. Either the picture is mirrored or the rotation is wrong...

I guess it must be fixed in the Android part of CM9, not the kernel?
So anyone with a good idea?

Perhaps something to dig around in the sensors.rk29board.so which is located in /system/lib/hw?

Oma, my question may be a little bit off-topic, but I hope you can help me. :) What is needed to see whether dual-touch can be implemented on a resistive tablet? I have done dmseg from adb and came to know that the touchscreen controller is a xpt_2046? Tried looking on the web, but no information about dual-touch or anything... Do I need to find out the lcd screen manufacturer and if yes, how to do it? :p

Fr3ts0n an me could follow the procedure of how the LZ300 driver for the resistive touch in the Odys Loox was done and we got it working including dual-touch. But the ADC was fairly dump and did give results below and beyond the original resistive screen values. So in case of dual touch you have parallel connected resistors and you have a shadow or mirror point along the diagonal of the screen. To figure out, where you are, your touch ADC must be able to switch sides. I.e. it must be ablte to measure from x top -> down and y left- > right and then from x bottom -> up and y right -> left.
The XPT seems only to provide 3 of the needed four and it uses it for measuring the pressure to detect if y finger tip or a pointer tool is used...

So my first rough guess is, that dual-touch is not easy on that Pad. Sorry.

Second, I tried compiling the sources and they fail at some silly thing. Should be able to fix that. But I checked the sources for the touchscreen driver and it is the usual RK mess. Multiple drivers for the same chip in slightly different flavours... Didn't check which of the sources is used by the Arnova kernel. Unfortunately, if you like to modify or test the touchscreen driver youn need a tablet at your hands. And you should have serial port debugger attached...

Could you pls test kernel AndyPad and teclast P71 (see archive part III) from here?

It boots, it runs... :) On the other hand, I could not get it to calibrate right and it was slowish, perhaps the touchscreen is placed differently on mine. The touchscreen itself does register touches and I somehow got it to pass the unlock screen...

Do you have dualtouch (tester)? Can I have the dmesg? Is there a config.gz in /proc?

Wow nice! There was a cm10 work going on for rk2918. I didn't know! :D

For CM10 as well, maybe Oma can help. I don't know if the fix process for youtube and web rendering for cm9 and cm10 are much different or not, but if it's not, then it could be easily fixed by Oma because he did that already for cm9. I'm not sure of course.. :)

THANKS Vurrut & Oma! Hope we can get orientation fixed also this time, along with all the important ones in cm10 for Cube u9gt2!

Tried this on a danew R701 with the same chip, but it gets stuck on the screen with "Android powered by vurrut".

Any idea?

    I just tried this ROM, and I think it's much faster and smoother than stock based cube roms! I have a huge problem though.. I think google play downloads apps, but it doesn't let me open any downloaded apps. If I open an app, it just takes me to the app page in the google play. I THINK it's related to the LCD density that they changed? Everything's tiny. Some people like that, but it causes some problems. So I can't download a file manager (actually can't open it, along with anything I download), so I have to disable my volume buttons because they are broken and acting weird if I don't disable them. Also, I tried downloading all these free apps I need from computer and tried moving to the tablet, and they were moved successfully, BUT I realized..without a file manager, I can't install any apks..damn!

    I don't know what to do??

    EDIT: NVM after rebooted, every app I downloaded appeared!

    BTW, any U9GT2 users who wants to try this rom, DO NOT use the CWM recovery posted in this thread. It bricked my tablet, then I recovered it luckly, and now everything's fine. Use the CWM posted on FlashMyAndroid forum in the recovery section of U9GT2 forum.

    ---------- Post added at 01:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:19 AM ----------

    OMFG.. Today is THE day I started to actually like my tablet...since like February??

    Just changed the LCD density to 160 (original), and even the home screen is super smooth! Before, at density of 120, the home screen was kind of laggy, but all other system was smooth, but now everything is perfect! If you are an U9gt2 owner, and are somewhat frustrated with the ICS performance, DO TRY THIS, and do all the stuff that I stated above, including POST above! Oh and I changed to Apex Launcher btw.

    Cheers!!
