The quiet sounds is the problem of Android 4 only. It is impossible to solve it. I did nothing with WI-FI.

I have found an app, named AnEQ on play store. It is able to boost up volume. Not sky high, but is is better now.

I am not allowed to put links play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.ebbert.audioeq.free&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImRlLmViYmVydC5hdWRpb2VxLmZyZWUiXQ
There is a paid version also.

I have also found some config sound related config files, but they might be GingerBread specific or something, as they are not found in your ROM. I mean this article:

I am not allowed to put links androidadvices.com/increase-volume-android-mobile-phones/

The links in the article are dead now, but they are at least traces on what to look for.

We can't build cm9 without ics sources. The only thing we can do is port other roms from other tablets but that requires many hacks and much work. We need at least ICS 3.0 kernel source

I got exactly the same problem. When I put the device into usb-debugging-mode, it's shown as "android" in the Windows device manager, but without correct drivers. And because of that, I cannot access the device via adb or the other root tools.

I've been using Google for about three hours and tried several drivers from this board, than the (I guess) same drivers from somewhere out of the WWW and at least I even tried the htc-sync-software method - nothing worked.

Who can help me? I am desperate... :(

I think you should try the Viewsonic support, if you did not. They seem to be quite helpful.

Android version 4.0.3
Kernal version 3.0.8-vimicro
Build number V10E-WW-V2.0_20130313

I've lost my list of installed apps in the Play store and my All list shows that my Google account hasn't logged in (paid for apps are listed with prices)
Superuser reports that it fails to gain root access when I try to update it :(
Root Checker Basic agrees that the device is no longer rooted :'(

*EDIT*
Play Store was restored after doing a 'Clear Data'

If I run SuperOneClick, it allows me to run the 'Root' program and it passes it's check.
If I use adb to removesh.bat it passes.
It's still not rooted though - I couldn't uninstall the Amazon Kindle or Twitter (cr)apps or change the boot animation

This update caused me nothing but problems. I only updated because I got a pester message that started appearing every 20 seconds and ignoring the update didn't seem to work. I updated it and when it rebooted I got that awful Viewsonic animation with the annoying startup sound. I then went to file explorer to delete the animation and it had lost root. When I looked more into it, sure as anything yes I had lost root.

I'm not on a Windows machine here I only have Linux so I tried using the adb toolkit to re-root it. After so far it seemed it was working well but then it got stuck on the animation boot logo and wouldn't do anything. I tried resetting it and managed to put it into flash mode but it wouldn't do anything at all after this, it seemed stuck in flash mode. After a hasty phone call to a nearby friend with a Windows box I put on Sidenk's custom rom (I was using the original stock rom with ICS when it came out before Sidenk made his rom). That has solved the issue for me.

As a bonus I also replaced those three birds during the reflash so now there's nothing Viewsonic about this when I'm using it. It's an okay tablet but I won it as a prize, I certainly wouldn't have paid money for this and It is not an easy item to use when there are no mainstream custom roms out there.

My advice? Don't do the auto upgrade, it causes problems. Does anyone know how to disable auto upgrade notifications?

For the update notification go to system/app and change file extension (i add ".off" to autoupdate or update file (same icon than update, the name i'm not sure)

:( I also did the update only because it was pestering me with the pop up. I was very happy the way my Viewpad worked before that. No sounds, no apps that I don't need or use...
Can I root it again the same way I did it the first time or is something else required now after that update?
Thanks folks

Would installing the sidenki rom and then turning off the update solve my problem? sounds like it right?

    viewpad 10e rooted

    well here we are .... after failing at least a dozen time this is how i did

    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

    my contact
    Storagepertutti_gmail_com
    links below are for downloading the files used (correct version!!):
    (i have to put some underscores in the links below otherwise could not post them, just remove ALL THE UNDERSCORE)

    SuperOneClickv2.3.zip
    _h_t_t_p_s_:_/_/_docs._google._com/open?id=0BzJAEigNC3a8NWc0R1UwRjhSOHFJRW9mSXJYSjg3dw

    ScreenShotOf-SuperClick&CMD.gif
    _h_t_t_p_s_:_/_/_docs._google._com/open?id=0BzJAEigNC3a8M0RYNVRHYllUVm1nYXAxeUc5WUJ2Zw

    htc_sync_3.0.5617_us.exeShared
    _h_t_t_p_s_:_/_/_docs._google._com/open?id=0BzJAEigNC3a8M01fWGotclhUUWF4ZkxGSlludGxSUQ

    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

    viewsonic viewpad 10e custom ROM (android 4.0.3)

    Here's my custom ROM for Viewpad 10e based on android 4.0.3. Below are the installation instructions and features included. Please read everything carefully before flashing! All this you do on your own risk! This custom is for version 1.1 of the tablet only (original firmware V10E_WW_V2.0_20120730)

-some apps are installed: [B]soft:[/B] Skype, KingSoft Office; Cool Reader, YouTube, Root Explorer, Screen Lock On and Off; [B]games:[/B]Angry Birds Rio, Angry Birds Space;
-SetupWizard app (first startup app) is disabled. It makes the first startup shorter;
-init.d scripts are used for better performance;
-stock keyboard is modified (some languages are added);
-Root is added;
-Google Play is added;
-The device is recognised as Asus EeePad. This opens more apps in Google Play;

    INSTALLATION
    Code: 
    [I]1. Download the archive;
2. Unpack it;
3. Follow the Viewsonic instructions (you can find pdf file in the folder with the firmware) to flash it[COLOR="Red"][B]The flashing process will be longer (for 20-30 minutes) because some of the image files are bigger than in the original firmware[/B][/COLOR];
4. Turn on the device after flashing (the first startup will be for 30-40 minutes) and make the tablet work for ten minutes;
5. Then turn off the tablet;
6. Press and hold Volume+ and power key until the image appears. The device will go to the recovery mode;
7. Use volume keys to move to the 'wipe data' option and press power key to choose it;

[COLOR="Red"][B]Please note that wiping is necessary if you don't want any bugs![/B][/COLOR][/I]

    USERAPP SCRIPT INSTRUCTIONS
    Code: 
    [I]This script made it possible to install apps from the first startup because not all apps will work from system folder.
[B]If you want to remove some of the apps I have installed then:[/B]
1. Remove the app as usual;
2. Open Root Explorer an go to the system\userapp folder;
3. Tap the R/W button in the right corner and remove the app you need.[/I]

2. Open Root Explorer, go to system\etc folder, tap on R/W button in the right and replace vold.fstab with the downloaded file;

    We 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. :(
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse

    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?
