Hey guys! Friend got this device and screen is not sensitive. Actually you have to press really hard to make it recognize touch. Is that normal?

If not, how to fix this? Could be this software issue?


Also, is there a way to emulate part of internal storage or USB drive as sd card? Some apps seems to only read /sdcard.

Mine is the same way but if you use your nail it works well also... try connecting to a tv via hdmi that may speed the device up and make touching smoother... I'm working on a fix for the HDMI issue.

Well thats because this tablet is what user want. An 10 Inch Android tablet. It got hardware specs that are a good base for what the tablet is capable of. Of course right now we problably use 50% of its hardware because its producer slows it down with the software. But if we figure out how to extract the hardware drivers we're maybe able to get froyo on this.

Hopefully =)

This tablet is awesome for the price. got two for me and my nephew as soon as you get ride of wow home it is twice as fast I had the green screen lock twice now but it has been running fine now that I got it settled. with a good froyo rom I think it will be great resistive screen is a drawback but this one seems to be a good resistive screen once you use it easy to scratch i suggest getting a protective cover. The sencer to rotate the screen seems to be installed wrong is all of them on 3d games it they are set to landscape but the scensor left and right you have to hold it portrait could that be software related?

I just built a generic build of froyo and tried to boot it and it got stuck at the green powered by wowpad screen, Now I flashed back to stock and it appears that I may have just had to wait longer for it to initialize. First boot takes forever!!!

Can you post the "stock" update.zip? i sold my table with the wowhome.apk renamed to wohome.apkz in order to disable it. the person i sold it to resold it and reset the device without asking me how and now it will not load a home. any other ideas would be helpful to fix this problem.

I am also interested in a way of deactivating the wowlauncher, I can switch to the standard launcher /home with homeswitcher, but I cannot set any other launcher to default, I am guessing it is hardcoded somewhere to always set HOME to the wowlauncher?

I have got my tablet with screen resolution 1024x576 :eek:It's exactly the problem, described in this message. Currently I am contacting the shop's representative to find a solution. And there was no licence number in the box, but now it's a secondary problem for me :-(
Other consumers, who recieved this device from this shop, even in the same blue box like mine - have the standart screen 1024x600.

I got 2 tablets from the same seller, one was 1024*600 and one was 1024*576 :(

The 1024*576 is currently on its way back to the seller :p

i thnk you might be on to something here.. I plugged a HDMI cable into it.. and it seems to run smoother... humm.. will leave it in and play with it over the week and post back later..

ok, i am reading about stopping programs from loading.. and have tried a startup manager.. but not really that happy with it.. as it seems that most things restart anyway.. so..

how do i kill a few things so they dont start.. ?
by going into the system area and start yanking them out?
Things like search, mail.. as dont really need them loading as got enough email programs around me at the moment..

Also.. is there a FAQ on ripping out apps from the loading program that we dont really need.. I am looking at my process list as posted and wondering what can be ripped out.. as per the following pic's:

You can remount your "ro" system to "rw":

# mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
(RW - Read/Write)

...

IMPORTANT - Back:

# mount -o ro,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
(RO - Read Only)

So you pressed "Power+Menu" ...

To SD card menu "Power+Home" ... if that is not working you may have a problem with the bootloader (1001)

To burn recover press "Power+Home+Back" and hold it.

Hope this will help.

Hi duno.
I also am stucked at the green screen.
I press Home+back+power appears a message saying "Press the required kaeys to apply a factory reset. The system will boot normaly in 5 seconds"
Then press back again I get the message "No recovery image is found, try to recover from SD"
In my case Power+Home combinatio does nothing

What can I do? Format a SD until 2GB FAT32 and wich files mus be in the SD card?

So are you still using a older firmware than 1170?
If yes, why?

If you don't have access to the sd card menu I think you have to burn the 1170 via USB ...

I had the same problem with the 1001!

Since 1170 every boot menu works fine.

    First NAND-flash Froyo Release

    Thanks to user LaurensBER @ AndroidForums.com I managed to get a working pointer calibration file, after which I deem the first froyo version that can be written to the internal NAND flash ready!

    VIDEO

    Video demonstrating how to flash the tablet after having created the bootable SD-card: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47kf4-Vbba8#t=3

    RELEASE NOTES

    • Please provide feedback if things work, or do not work for you.
    • If it eats your tablet, don't blame me. I deem it low-risk though, if it fails you can reflash it using burntool or another bootable sd-card just like before.

    INSTALLATION

    Installation is slightly different from normal releases because it requires flashing in 2 steps. Luckily, it's really easy:

    1. Download bootable SD-card image and unzip: http://www.mediafire.com/?oc1bwnq71smb09k

    2. Write image to an SD-card that's at least 1GB in size using Win32DiskImager:

    • Get Win32DiskImager here: https://launchpad.net/win32-image-writer
    • In Win32DiskImager: When you open it, there is a button to browse the .img file and after that, at the right of this button there is a selector for the SD-card. Select it, then click write and it's done.
    • When finished, take out the card.

    In linux, you just unzip the file and use dd to write it to the sd-card:

    Code: 
    dd if=/path/to/sdcard.img of=/dev/sdX # (where sdX is your scsi disk device, check dmesg)

    3. Turn off tablet and put sd-card in TOP slot (between the 2 usb ports).

    4. Turn on tablet. It will report that it is booting off the sd-card, and that it's flashing kernel + filesystems.

    5. Take out the sd-card when the tablet asks you to do so (takes less than a minute). Put it in the OTHER sd-card slot (bottom one), and reboot the tablet by holding down the power for 10 seconds to turn it off, then press it again to turn it on.

    6. You will now see the tablet booting with a *GREEN* screen. The screen will flash twice to indicate it's starting. The flashing itself will take longer than in the previous step, a few minutes. If succesful, it will automatically reboot, after which you're done and you're booting the new firmware! You'll see a different boot screen (equalizer on a black background)

    7. After it has booted and you have unlocked the screen, reboot the tablet first thing! First boots in android always tend to be behave erratically. This is unrelated to this firmware and applies to all Android setups.

    If step 6 fails (which is very unlikely), it will stay on the green screen and it will keep on flashing the screen. In that case, you'll have to turn it off. Most likely problem for this is a corrupt SD-card. See troubleshooting below.

    Make sure to never put that sd-card back in the top-slot without erasing it first, as it will reflash your tablet!

    TROUBLESHOOTING

    • The 'green screen' keeps flashing!
      • The installer will dump a text file on the root of the sd-card which you can inspect. The file is called fail_reason.txt. If no such file exists, things are seriously wrong and the tablet couldn't even properly write to the sd-card. If using another SD-card, or rewriting the SD-card doesn't help, please upload the fail_reason.txt file here.
    • Flashing was succesful, but the system freezes at the android animation!
      • For this firmware to work, you need to have u-boot version 0.6.1.5 installed. You can tell if you have this by looking at the INFOTMIC bootscreen you see when you turn on the tablet. If the bottom right corner does not show a version number, then you don't have it. To install this, you will need to connect the tablet to your PC using an USB A-A cable and flash u-boot-nand.bin from the v2852 firmware first.

    TODO

    • Find out why some users can't get past the android boot animation despite seemingly succesful flashing
    • Rewrite instructions for creating the sdcard @ windows
    • Figure out why Titanium Backup doesn't work

    (**) Tested:

    • wifi, ethernet port
    • battery status works, g-sensor works
    • touchscreen works (precalibrated, you cannot recalibrate it using the settings app)
    • HD video playback works (I recommend Meridian player)
    • Market works (full)
    • angry birds works ( thought I'd mention it ;) )
    • The firmware has already been rooted! You can connect using adb over wifi, and type 'su' to become root. Find your IP address using the Android System Info app.
    • GPS confirmed

    • In WinHex: tools, disk tools, clone disk
    • Choose file from zip (sdcard.img)
    • Choose the sd card as your destination
    • Start sector: fill in 0, also make sure the directories are correct on left
    • When finished, take out the card.

    Stragulus' FT2 SD Froyo port process (How To)

    UPDATE: Froyo port to NAND flash now available HERE
    IF you still want to run Froyo from sd be sure to get the pointer calibration file located at the link above and insert into the appropriate location of the files below. Note: If you don't know where or how to insert the pointer file you should just flash the FT3 to NAND.

    If you don't understand what you are doing/how to do it then you should probably wait for a simple sd card install. This requires the use of a lot of different tools that everyone may not have/understand. Read through it all before you start the process. Neither I nor anyone else referenced throughout take responsibility for anything that happens to your tablet. In other words, PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK.

    I hope to have an sd card install worked out soon so anyone not in a hurry may want to wait. I also think I have a clockworkmod recovery process (read: Backup) worked out so anyone that does want to try the below or an sd install can have a backup to go back to if all doesn't go well (and sometimes it won't).

    People that know what you are doing (you know who you are) please feel free to respond if you see error in my delivery. I am just trying to clean up the process around Stragulus' outstanding work (he has a Donate button!) spread out over many many posts. Feel free to "Thank" me if this write up is useful to you.



    -Download necessary files-
    Download Flytouch 3 files (using this google cached page of download link):
    http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sour...E78SDFbJd121Gfftg&sig2=jBjp0lQBhebR0Q5vgAUChQ
    *Rename firmware-discovery to .zip, open (thanx for the catch kineticz)
    Keep system.tar and ramdisk.img

    Download updated kernel (uimage) and wifi driver here:
    http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=547139&d=1300632589
    Keep uimage and rt2070sta.ko (wifi driver)



    -Set up tablet to run Froyo from sd card-
    Use WinHex or WIN32DiskIMager (free) to make a bootable sd card using bootable sd .img from second link in this post:
    http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11830573&postcount=1504

    Put uimage and ramdisk.img files on sd card
    (you may have to format entire card (705MB) FAT32 to drag/drop files to it)
    Put sd card in tablet, turn on.
    Let it burn kernel and ramdisk

    OR

    Use burntool
    http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10214773&postcount=899
    (ignore firmware files)



    -Set up sd card for running Froyo-
    Partition all of your sd card back to FAT32 (Easus Partition Manager for pc is free)
    You will now create a total of 6 partitions

    First PRIMARY partition (empty): Format this as fat32

    Second PRIMARY partition (will become /system): Format as ext3. Recommend 192MB size

    Third PRIMARY partition (will become /data): Format as ext3. Use rest of space, BUT leave 256MB for last Primary.

    Lastly create another PRIMARY partition of 256MB: Format as FAT32

    Select/highlight the PRIMARY partition created last (256MB). Right click/choose to create logical partition WITHIN it.
    First LOGICAL partition (will become /local): Format as ext3. Recommend 128MB size
    Second LOGICAL partition: Format as fat32. Recommend 128MB size



    -Copy system to sdcard-
    Plug tablet into pc/mac using usb cable
    Using linux enter the following:
    sudo mkdir -p /mnt/system
    sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sdX2 /mnt/system
    sudo tar -C /mnt/system -xvpf /path/to/system.tar
    (/path/to/system.tar is location where you have the system.tar on your pc/mac)



    -Fix wifi file-
    While tablet is still plugged into pc/mac
    Using linux enter the following:
    sudo su -
    export SYSROOT=/mnt/tmp
    cp rt2070sta.ko /mnt/tmp/lib/modules/

    Firmware update 1480, instructions and download link

    Hi everyone,

    Yesterday I talked to the Chinese seller that sold me my Flytouch II and he gave me the new 1480 firmware , along with Winhex program and instructions. You have to create a clone SD card with Winhex following the instructions in the package (word doc file), then quick format it FAT32 then copy the files under the android folder supplied in the package, but be careful! I tried it under windows 7 and it doesn't work, then I tried it on a laptop running windows XP Sp3 and all went perfectly and smoothly. Also be aware that you must insert the TF card in the upper slot of the Flytouch the one closer to the side with all the physical buttons, this is the only bootable slot.

    I have noticed that my tablet is running slightly smoother under 1480 firmware, and some icons have changed and also the OI File manager is now simply called File manager and has better graphics, also there is a handwriting recognition option as an input choice apart from more keyboard types. I haven't had much more time testing other options, but can post later on my experience on the run.

    Also you should know that you will loose all your programs and settings and the rooting of the tablet. It is advisable to use a backup program (Titanium Backup Pro or Mybackup Pro) and you have to root the tablet again , with z4root for example, after flashing.

    I have uploaded the whole package to my megaupload account, here is the link:

    Happy flashing! ;D

    Wifi + Rotation now works

    See title. I also rooted the rom by adding SuperUser + the su binary. All required files are in the attachment.

    To get this to work, first mount the /system partition of the sd-card on your computer on /mnt/tmp (assuming linux users here), then:

    Replace the wifi driver with rt2070sta.ko from the attachment:

    Code: 
    sudo su -
export SYSROOT=/mnt/tmp
cp rt2070sta.ko /mnt/tmp/lib/modules/

    If you want to root the rom:

    Code: 
    sudo su -
export SYSROOT=/mnt/tmp

cp su $SYSROOT/bin/su
chown root.root $SYSROOT/bin/su
chmod 6755 $SYSROOT/bin/su
cp superuser.apk $SYSROOT/app/SuperUser.apk
chown root.root $SYSROOT/app/SuperUser.apk
chmod 755 $SYSROOT/app/SuperUser.apk

    If you want to enable adb:

    Code: 
    sudo su -
export SYSROOT=/mnt/tmp

echo 'persist.service.adb.enable=1' >> $SYSROOT/build.prop

    To fix the rotation, you need to flash the attached new uImage using burntool.

    And that's all!

    Who wants to turn this into an update that can be applied from sd-card? I'll focus on fixing or changing things when they come up, but so far it looks like this rom is already quite usable!


    ADDENDUM: You *do* need to flash ramdisk.img from the FT3 firmware unmodified as well. It doesn't use the built-in ramdisk image as I presumed.
