Does this rom support ad-hoc wifi tether?

i noticed elocity is not using the native ar6000 driver , so if they included the patched wpa_supplicant, then yes.. but i have not tested it.

Yeah pretty much!... did you not have the SU issues with version 1.0? If not I'll just update to that. I can't get Bank of America or Tasker to install even using the build.prop from the ROM, there's something other than the fingerprint in this ROM making the magic happen.

Can anybody upload the "build.prop" file included in Mod 1.0?

i posted this in the other elocity thread yesterday.
look for build.zip attachment..

Dexter... i did a full wipe and still had the su issue. I installed version 1.0 and added the superuser application from the market and it works perfectly. I dunno, but seeing this device never needed su out of the box maybe something with the way you added it to the rom in 1.0a.

Nisshi - imo you're better off running version 1.0 whereas even after modifying build.prop on the official build it still couldn't download all my apps. 1.0 seems perfect. I'll look for the link for you.

Here's the link for 1.0 with full gapps and working SU: http://dext3r.komodin.org/ElocityA7/ElocityModv10.zip

And build.prop if you still want it: http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=474471&d=1293480448

Which file to download?

Already upgraded to12/24 build PBJ8000.2.0121 - which file to download v1.0 or v1.0a? All I want is Market - can I avoid the SU install and the problems? Thanks

Post right above yours bud. Use 1.0 imo, first link there is Dexter's first version without the SU issues. Full market and gapps. Remember to factory reset before updating. It is based off the new update also.

im a little confused..

i added the "su" command to the build, it never was there...

I've been using "su" since it came out of the box. Not sure what you mean by "it never was there".

Exactly my point. Something was added in 1.0a to cause this since 1.0 was fine.

ok, something crossed my mind now.. i put "su" always in /system/bin and im quite sure your "su" is located in /system/xbin now, so thats why my superuser.apk also fails as its made for this version and your su is not. or simply the su in /system/xbin has no suid 0 set.

edit:
ok, i was right. in xbin folder another SU was found, so that one is not compatible with this superuser.apk..
its fixed and im uploading a hopefully perfect 1.0b now.

Dexter,
Thank you for 1.0b. I updated it right overtop your originial 1.0 release without even needing to perform a factory data reset from the recovery menu. Everything appears to be working great. SlingPlayer is even working now and it blows my mind to have the HDMI out going directly into an HDTV and being able to watch FIOS TV from the A7 on a big screen.

I just sent a donation to you! Thank you very much for your effort to support the A7!

Thanks and great to hear you feel the 1.0b works out great.

and yes, with the small fix in 1.0b there is no need to do factory reset.

I made a backup of my folio100 prepped as elocityA7, so ill keep updating as requirements pops up

Desperus · Dec 28, 2010

Hi Dexter. I followed instructions, did a factory reset before installing your Update.zip 1.0b, everything seems to be fine, I get the "Updated the device: Reboot the device... Reboot now!" message, and then the a7 gets stuck in the elocity splash screen, displaying it again and again..

What could I be doing wrong?

Thanks!

bazbob · Dec 28, 2010

Thanks again Dexter.

I was able to sign-in skype although it locked up when I went to make a call. I'll check it out more in a bit.

Any idea why the Sirius XM app just hangs out at initial "Cheking for Upgrades" after the sign-in screen? I see that some other tablets are having similiar issues with the 1.1.0 version from Google Market that was suppose to address Froyo issues.

maybe the downloaded zip is corrupted? , but i think you should try another "wipe/factory reset" again after zip update installation?

for a zip verification, you can always copy/extract on pc into a folder, to verify you dont see errors...

but normally its signature errors, because /data is not cleaned, and sig's dont match your old configuration from a previous install, so it loops with the logo screen.

DroidxRage · Dec 28, 2010

After you select to install the update you need to reboot through the recovery menu and the install continues some more. Then it reboots again, you see some more lines of text and then the elocity boot animation. The first boot takes a little longer than normal, but not five minutes.

Make sure you're doing the first reboot through the menu not with the power button. GL

I had that happen when I upgraded from the stock version (with the update from Elocity) to the first version of this rom. I didn't wipe the cache first. I wiped data but not cache. Hit the reset button on the back of the device. Then, after a second or two press and hold the power button until it says it is entering recovery mode. Wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache and then reapply the update. Sorry, I don't know of another way to get out of the loop without wiping your data.

i tested your Sirius XM app although i got no account, but tried the trial test, and it simply fails due to a framework error, so part of the nvidia framework seems to be incomplete or missing android framework functions, so the function call fails.
you comment on 1.1.0 means that SiriusXM should have gotten a fix? its for sure failing now :-(

you mentioned Sling player problems previously, but i simply couldn't locate that one. but sounds like its ok now

sounds really strange.. as our Tegra2 tablets has no "verification" process added, you might just have a corrupt zip.. that sounds really like the problem here..

if the wipe does not affect your tablet, it makes no difference rolling back to stock rom, you might just see a regular boot there, which do not tell us why you couldnt update..
