Not bad so far, looking forward to more improvements

This is the unit I am working on, it does not fall within the serial number range listed for Doc Hoppy's ROM and since this and the others I found are based on his I wasn't sure it would work. But its working fine so far.

Nextbook 7Premium, ID: S7JNEXT7P, Model: NEXT 7P, Serial #: Y121106... So far its running with no problems.

I was able to Root the device using SuperOneClic Version 2.3.1 (earlier versions did not work) and it worked the very first time I ran it.

Next I copied this ROM ( [ROM] Nextbook 7P [dw] Rom v0.1 ICSBootAnim Debloated & Rooted 1/14/12 ) onto my internal SD Card and named it “ update “ with nothing after it, it will be read as a .img file so there is no need to place .img after the name “ update “. I restarted the device and it read the image without any problems and I was able to update to / install this ROM. Afterwards I did a factory reset which is always a good idea after installing a new update or ROM.

There are more apps included than are listed. Here is everything:

*It does have the ICS Colorful Boot Animation
ACalendar
Advanced Task Killer
Applanet Market (and it works)
Browser
Calculator
Clock
Digital Clock Widget Downloads
ES Explorer

Gallery
Geared

Noob questions:
Not sure if it belongs in this form.

I have the same serial number range as you YF1211.
My question is how do i backup the current rom in case i blow it up?
None of the updates on the nextbook site has our serial number range.

I also sent nextbook support an email about not having a lock pattern capability and the responded quickly and said my O/S version is newer and didn't have it. Really?

Thanks for any help in advance.

Again thanks for all the hard work. I have a few requests. first since we cant change the Adhoc ( using wifi from another android device) on the fly with out RW access can you please add the ability to connect to adhoc wifi in the next build? Also i love google currents app but we cant use is on our device because we don't have map's installed. can that be added as well?

nextbook 7

I have a question. are any of these roms going to work on a tablet with 0911 for serial? People are saying the roms work with 1011 and 1211, but what about something as old as mine? Also, has anyone had any luck getting a bluetooth dongle to work with their nextbooks? That is the only thing that really bugs me, no way to connect to any device except the computer.

search the threads i want to say there was someone out there with a 0911 that flashed a custom rom and everything worked but im not sure. the ones as old as 0511 have been known to have issues such as loss of soft buttons and wifi force closes. as for blue tooth you will probably never be able to connect not matter the rom, even with a dongle these tablets dont seem to have the hardware to enable usb functions other then usb sync and such. cant remember for sure but i dont think you can even charge these through the usb, someone correct me if im wrong on that.


************just checked doc hoppy's thread - here you go!
For those with a yf0911 SN#

Try this Rom. it is a test version of hoppyrom for that serial number. If it boots and works ok, I will make a fully rooted version and post.

Download Link is broken.

hey, I've looked at dozens of sites and all the links for the actual roms are all broken. most are 1-2 years old. can someone please re-post a link on a different website or send it to e manually. I'm trying to root this tablet for my buddy at work i believe i know how to do it but i have no rom to put on his device...
