Just one last question.....screenshots. 3rd party apps or is there actually a button combo? Thanks for your help by the way.
I think screenshots require root, someone else might know - I just take a photo :silly:
Ah okay, in using screenshot it with mixed success though. Works fine on the home screen but not in apps. Also have you got Google drive and books working? Both are FCing immediately and the usual tricks aren't working

Stopping the app and clearing the cache/data then trying to run it again. Just Drive and Books refuse to start outright, doesn't even start to sign into the account. I'm not sure what else to try without a proper recovery...
I am sorry to hijak this thread but i have no where else to look. I just got a Viewpad 10PI dual boot. It did not come with the disk for it and is stuck in windows only. The android partition was overwritten.
1- does anyone have a link to download the recovery disk?
2 - Do I need the recovery disk to repartition the viewpad 10PI to install a custom rom and windows 7?
any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Viewsonic has been less than helpful (actually they are just ignoring me). Please if anyone can help I would like to get this as a new travel laptop. As much as i hate windows and love android, i need windows for business when i travel and i am tired of carrying a table and laptop with me.
Thanks in advance.

Viewsonic 10e flashed
I flashed this to my daughters Viewsonic 10e as the Android 4.0.4 official OTA firmware I was previously running was eating up the small 512MB of the installed non-upgradable RAM.
I have to say it is about 50% better so thanks for that although she is unhappy she can't play 'Subway Surfers' as well as her sister's IBM Lenovo tablet can!
Just if anyone wants to know, the two flash files (I didn't bother with the 'vold.fstab' myself) are on the Russian 'Yandex' website which you need an account to download from. If you go to the Yandex website in your language and register for the free account (actually very good with nothing to install or add-on to your browser) and log in you can then click the link given and download the file directly; which by the way is in English!

Help needed again.Hello everybody,
I need your advice again. After the tablet ran fine for a long time with the sidenki custom rom, I encountered WLAN Connection problems again. I did a factory reset because that helped last time but still it would not find my WLAN so I decided to flash the device again and so I did. But after flashing it would stay on the boot animation and that's that. I tried one more time, then I tried to flash the viewsonic original ICS rom which worked. Now I tried to flash the sidenki custom rom again and it is stuck on the boot animation. What can I do? I was so satisfied with this rom and I do not understand, why it won't work anymore now.
Help is very much appreciated.
Thanks
EDIT: Ok, one again problems solved. The flashing did not work properly over my usb hub. Once I flashed it connected directly to the Notebook everything worked like a charm. Also found out what the problem with my WLAN connection was. I had to set the channel on my router lower so the tablet would find it. Seems to have problems with higher channels...so now everything is back on track...

I have done it using laptop WINXP (dunno on win7, I may try again using win7 pro)
PLEASE REMEMBER THAT IF YOU WANT TO ROOT YOUR DEVICE YOU ARE DOING IT AT YOUR OWN RISK, I DO NOT RECCOMAND IT AT ALL AND THE DESCRIPTION BELOW IS PURELY FOR EDUCATION ONLY!!!! yep

VIEWPAD 10e (uk)
1) Do a full manufacturer reset (you will lose all installed apps, (if you need them run backup) but the external card will be ok don’t worry about, leave it in (setting> privacy setting> factory data reset> careful : leave the erase sd card un-tick and press <full reset>
2) When restart put the viewpad in usb debugging and stay awake mode (setting>applications>development>usb debugging tick and stay awake tick ), also increase the screen timeout to 30 min.( setting>display>screen timeout>30 sec)
[Certain settings are only to make visible things]
3) Meanwhile install htc android sync software on your PC (download link above) NOTE: after few min. through the installation the software will ask if you want to install HTC Sync ... click NO and then click finish.
4) Restart viewpad with external power connected But do not unlock the screen or get into any programs, wait one min. and then connect it to computer ( you will need usb to usb micro cable) and u ll see the PC installing all drivers for a good couple of min. and the screen of the viewpad will stay light up.
5) Download adb ( link above superclick ... contains adb which does not need installation .... when unzipped is ready to run ...... just remenber where you unzip it .)
6) Run cmd and go into adb directory:
"adbHDDdriverletter:" <enter> ( the letter of the HDD driver partition where the adb directory is followed by a column)
"cd adb" <enter>, directory where u unzipped adb
"adb root" <enter>
"adb shell" <enter>
"cd /bin" <enter> be careful to the space between cd and the slash
"ls -l --color=never su" <enter> just copy past eh? (just to clarify it is LS <space>-L<space> -- ....becarufull to spaces.)
"rm ./su" <enter> careful again to the space before the dot
7) run superclick 2.3.3 on your PC, press root
8) when finished (its very fast) close superclick and restart viewpad and redo from point 6 but this time un can unlock the pad screen so you can drag down the top bar and see what’s happening (always leave external power supply on), ALSO AFTER UNLOCKING THE SCREEN I CHOOSED THE STANDARD VIEWING NOT THE VIEWSCENE3D !!!
When done then goto point 9)
9) on superclick press root shell (careful it will take much longer then root (in the region of a minute, anyway) so better you watch the right hand side panel for when it say “/data/local/tmp/outputEND:79774”
10) Then press on the viewpad <turn on usb storage> (you will see it if the top bar's lowed down, which you should have it from previous steps anyway)
11) on the external sd card rename directory ".android_secure" i changed mine to: "TODELETE.android_secure" (i have done this because my market got stuck before, but it is not needed, if market get stuck just restart the pad)
12) come out from usb storage first using "removing hardware" on your pc and then from the tablet BUT
if the PC locks the usb mass storage (u cannot remove hardware) then make your PC at sleep and then remove usb cable
13) try if ur viewpad is really rooted running for example titanium backup or root explorer
WIFI TETHERING
tethering the pad to connect to ADHOC WIFI (NO TETHERING NEEDED really) from mobile phone running WM6.1 using WMWifiRouter.cab (u have to pay few quids):
using root explorer (IS A MUST) Ver.2.19 at least, modify those FILES:
1)
/data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf ( then over it <long click><open as><text editor>write the code below above the existing one, then copy the SSID and WAP key from the old code and put it in the second section "network { ssid...... home ssid, then delete the old codes, then <long click><select all><long click> <copy><save and exit>, u will see that root explorer saves the original file as ".bak" and new version as ".conf"
2)( similar to above)
/etc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf (<long click><open as><text editor><long click> <select all> <long click> <PASTE><save and exit>
codes to put in: (DO NOT PUT THE PART AFTER THE // BECoUSE its ONLY TO SEPARATE THE EXPLANATIONS)
----------------------------
ctrl_interface=DIR=/data/system/wpa_supplicant GROUP=wifi //(interface loc.)
//eapol_version=2 not needed
update_config=1 //(how fast wifi refresh)
ap_scan=2 //(ad hoc connection)
network={
ssid="your adHOC SSID"
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=NONE //(because it is not a WPA encryption)
wep_key0=1234567890 //(MY PHONE HAS THIS WEP KEY change for yours)
priority=1 //(first to connect)
mode=1
}
network={
ssid="your home SSID" //( this is your normal ssid connection
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK //(because my home has WPA encryption)
psk="very secret passphrase" //(wap key)
priority=2 // (SECOND to connect)
mode=1
}
network={
ssid="your EXTRA MORE SSID" //( other ssid)
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
psk="very secret passphrase"
priority=3 //(third to connect)
mode=1
}
// you can add as many section " network={...} " u need just increase +1 priority

wil6viewsonic viewpad 10e custom ROM (android 4.0.3)

Download Link: is in the attachments as I don't have enough posts5We all made good progress with this thread with the market and root.....
But it seems that we are still not any closer to getting basic tutorials for things such as iplayer, youtube etc.
I am having trouble with both the above, to the point that im thinking of selling up and just go back to my old netbook which does everything and much much more.
Zen, don't give up on this.....Here's why...
I have managed to get 2 versions of flash player to work with iplayer. It plays recorded and live Tv channels. First, I recommend uninstalling both iplayer & flash player that may be on your pad. Also, go on root explorer to folder system/apps and delete any files relating to flash.
The 2 flash players I got to work were:
Flash Player 10.2.157.51
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/ge.../android/10.2.157.51/install_flash_player.apk
Flash Player 10.3.186.7
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/ge...e/android/10.3.186.7/install_flash_player.apk
I choose 10.3, but both work. Now, go to the Google market and do a new install of iplayer version 1.3, If you don't yet have it, see if 1mobile has it, if not search online.
That's it, both recorded and live should work now. The problem I have though is, I am tethering my pad to my mobile and not getting excellent speeds due to area, so the picture wasn't excellent, but worked .
Hope all this helps......
Also, Zen200, did you not see my previous post about that modded YouTube app, if you did, did you download it. If you had problems getting it, I don't mind uploading it to my rapidshare and posting the link, just ask.
I now have root, Google market, YouTube & iplayer all sorted. What's next to do?

I've deleted the following system bloatwares:

No need to worry at all. Just keep a copy of the apk, and you can put it back any time.
Also made some tweaks to the Build.prop
Running smooth and fast now, more free RAM, no problem so far.
It's so beautiful and value for money!
Others had given up too early. What a pity!
