Thumbs up Fixed apart from hw buttons

I installed the row and superscript from eyeoncomputers after watching that youtube video. Everything works great now apart from my hardware menu, home, back and volume buttons. Theyre al set to none in allwinner mod app and I cannot seem to change them to the correct values or everything else. Device is set to allwinner at the moment.

Anyone know how to get around this. I also installed the CWM Recovery by method 1 from ADB which also seemed to work, but I cant get into it as my menu button doesnt work.

Otherwise everything is brilliant!!!

Thanks for your help guys. I love this tablet its awesome.runs 1080p HD video in any format perfectly, i have to get a mini hdmi cable so i can hook it to my tv and monitor to try that out and have a full keyboard and mouse too.

Download this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...al.androidterm

Load it up and type the following:
echo -n boot-recovery | busybox dd of=/dev/block/nandf count=1 conv=sync; sync; reboot

This should reboot into recovery, and hopefully CWM. If it does, download the rom & script from the thread and flash that instead, all hardware buttons should work.

I finally managed to install the cannibal rom and script but the hardware keys still are not working. I had to format the /system folder from cwm and factory/reset and clear cache as the first time i did it without clearing everything the hw keys didnt work, so I cleared everything again and installed the rom and script from cwm again but this time it stuck for several hours on the initial kernel boot screen and didnt go to the old cyanogenmod 9 boot screen or to ics.

So I had to reinstall using livesuit again, reinstall cwm and go through it again.

I think I'll leave it like this now.

Is there anyway to fix my hardware keys with allwinner mod? Its set to sgs II at the moment, have tried allwinner before without success.

Thanks for all your help guys.

I get the impression your unit is the not the same as ours, hence why the hardware buttons do not work when you flash the firmware. Is the your device? http://www.gizzmoheaven.com/7-Androi...5/Product.html if so its not the same unit (as in it doesn't look the same) so probably has different settings for the physical buttons.

The Allwinner mod bit you're referring to only changes a few settings in the build.prop which only really fools the Play Store/Market into thinking its a different device to allow more apps to be compatible, that part of the app doesnt have any effect on the buttons.

There are other firmwares here: http://tabletrepublic.com/forum/ivie...ases-1610.html be careful though, may not work properly. I'd recommend getting hold the manufacturer and getting a proper flash.

Yes thats the one I got it from Gizzmo Heaven on offer. Almost everything works apart from the back, home and menu buttons now. I think I'll live with it, i have spent all weekend trying to fix it.

The other thing that doesnt work is the auto rotate. It seems to stick.

Theres nothing on the box or tiny paper instruction manual that came with it to indicate the manufacturer or model and no website info for firmware. I got this because of an earlier link on hotukdeals link that came out just before the better £50 offer from wendylou - http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/7-an...ivered-1218351

The model may be M009S.

I've also bought this unbranded tablet from gizzmo heaven.

So far got ROOT by installing Superuser and updating the executable from within the app.

Also added the following line to the build.prop to make apps fit the screen properly (google music, double twist, etc).

ro.sf.lcd_density=120

It also had the unexpected bonus of enabling the proper ICS tabbed browser.

Here's a pic of the about screen & mainboard if it's any help in identifying compatible ROMs...

I found the model and working ics 4.0.3 firmware -

http://www.asianfonesforum.com/showt...s-and-Firmware.

The get this firmware - Firmware for "MID" model with 1GB system RAM - 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich - http://www.asianfonesforum.com/M009S...A10-4.0-1g.rar

The Gizzmoheaven one is the NATPC M009S proper name LY-F1

I found this linke on amazon that put it all together and was helpful for me http://www.amazon.co.uk/New-Firmware...sin=B006M07X34

I will definitely be buying a table from wendy lou in future, she solved this for me and seems really helpful.

Ignore what the assuanfones page says about the key file and their installer, rename the img file to ly instead of the 3 chinese character at the start of it then use livesuit and the vol+ usb in pwr button routine to start the install.

My tablet now has working hw buttons, working auto rotate and seems much happier. I'll install iris and ask it.

Thanks for all your help guys.

I'll probably use the eyeoncomputers script tomorrow to remove all the phone services to improve battery, install cwm, allwinner mod etc to fix the 160dpi that the new firmware added, which seems really big.

Cheers,

Kev

homecanibal,

I think i'd be better off with your rom and script. I cant seem to get titanium pro to work, I bought it a long time ago and now it wont gain root or get through the check licence, it worked fine on your rom but not on this one.

Ive tried everything. Getting a bit tired of reinstalling now, was up till 3am last night with this thing. I got my case, keyboard and capacitive stylis now though so its alot easier to to use my little natpc. Plus ive got everything my mate who paid over £500 for an asus transformer has now for a 1/5 of the price.

Thanks,

Kev.
