Try getting your MyTab going again by using KK's repackaged updater ... post #169

Sorry can you repost your link? It doesn't work... The problem is how can I enter the restore screen? My screen is just black with a few lines and a word "clockwor" not even clockwork.... :D

[Guest forforum]

Hi,

Sorry to message you. Can you please help me to unbrick my device? My V9 stuck in the android icon screen and power button and volume button won't do any good. It happened when rebooting after I installed "update cm 7.1.0 RC0 V9 KANG signed 20110529.zip ". Could you please help. How do you do the update thing to unbrick yours? Thanks much!

Follow this discussion and you should be able to un-brick it. http://android.modaco.com/content-page/337...lable/page/180/

I'm using version 31 and found a couple of problems.

1) the lockscreen does not use the whole screen for the slider.

2) the speaker is not enabled by default on calls.

Is it just me?

[Guest Sebastian404]

Can you make the next version have even larger /tmp. I noticed the CM7 install backs up the Google apps to /tmp and restores them after an install when you upgrade CM7 from one nightly to another.

I changed your latest version to have 64Mb /tmp and the install went fine and I didn't need to reinstall the google apps package.

I'm currently traveling up and down between North and South California so I dont really have the time to mess with stuff too much during the week, I'll update my builds at the weekend, but good to hear its 64meg now.... ;P

[Guest sab2000]

Hi Friends

I am new to this topic. Recently bought a ZTE V9 and tried to flash CyanogenMod 7. Everything went fine but seems i did something wrong with the calibration. Now my key press are not getting registered properly and cant click any of the buttons or icons. Is there anyway i can revert the calibration back? Where is the calibration data stored? Anyway to delete it (sorry for the dump question, new to this).

I tried to remove battery (cant shutdown as well because of this issue) and tried to press volume key to bring it in FTM mode but without luck.

just wondering you guys have any solution for this. it will be very helpful and thanks a lot for your kind advice. .....

Sorry for the busted-ass link .. try again ...you'll be wanting to get your TAB into FTM mode, not clockwork recovery, for this ..

Hi. kallt_kaffe, can you add in new build support of disabling autorotation with landscape orientation? I consider that it will be useful for all tablets.

p.s. sorry for my bad english.

32Mb would be enough but I think tmpfs only uses the RAM that is actually used so I don't think there is any harm in overdoing it a bit so I changed it to 64Mb. With this the CM7 install goes flawlessly and when upgrading the google apps are backed up and restored. All i did was change the line that mounts /tmp in init.rc and repacked it.

However this was not the only reason the 27 and 29 versions where causing trouble. Appearently there was a bug intruduced in update-binary but it has been fixed now.

You can remove it with adb.

adb shell

rm /data/system/pointercal

It will then fallback to using /system/etc/pointercal

Hi kallt_kaffe ,

Please clarify ,

Is LCD Calibration now fully fuctional? i ask this, as a number of us still seem to have issues in getting the tablet to 'pull down' the notification bar , especially in landscape mode.. (even after going through te screen calibration 'touch the dots' app and rebooting ..)

Also, I feel Post #1 contradicts itself

•It is NOT possible to calibrate the screen at the moment and the calibration is hardcoded for my Light.

•2011-05-25 - Touchscreen calibration support and also added ldpi and hdpi bitmaps (for those who experiment with different LCD densities)

Rgds.

This is awesome.

Only significant bug I've got so far is that Google Reader displays posts in a small phone screen sized window. That said the web interface for Reader is pretty awesome now.

Live logcat boot animation works a treat too :D

It would be awesome if this could get baked into ROM Manager like the SGS Nightlies!

Hi kallt_kaffe,

Don't know if you already notified about this:

I tried Draw! from the market, can't draw on the top and right edge, it's like 20 to 30 pixels, like can't recognize the touch at all, that's why it's so hard to bring down the notification.

see this screen shot showing the problem:

Way to overcome that is rotate the screen to make the notification bar at the left edge or bottom edge to make it easy to bring up.

Or in CyanogenMod settings, 'Tablet Tweek', inside have option to put the notification bar at the bottom of the screen which is nice now.

I didn't try this on the stock Optus 2.2 firmware, but that one is also very hard to bring down the notification bar down so that might have the same problem.

That's a engineering problem or software related?

Edit:

the calibration works, tried to calibrate the screen several times, now it works fine.

Very clever diagnosis tool skygunner, using Draw! :D

[Guest Luke Smith]

Mine does the same.

I think its closer to 5-10 pixels, and think its just the way the tablet is designed. the top and right edges simply have no sensitivity. The calibration is perfect, where I draw is where I get ink.

I think using draw i can answer my own question .. Yes calibration does appear to work ,, what is also apparent is that you can 'tune' pulldown and 'LCD deadzone' by fudging the LCD calibration points , ie dont touch the bullseye , but go for 7pm, 10pm positions , etc on the first ring out on the targets nearest the LCD corners in qusetion.

and use Draw! to confirm ...

I did touch the right middle of the calibration point. Note the top, right and left down part edge. The top part is way enough for bringing down the notification bar.

Try opening "Spare Parts" (in app drawer) and untick "Compatibility Mode" and see if it changes the way Google Reader appears...

I had the same problem with the Game NFS Shift, but after unticking that option everything looks the way it should.

[Guest navodroid]

Before trying to install this you must first upgrade Clockwork to a modified version of Sebastians 3.2.0.0 version that has been changed to allocate 64Mb for /tmp. The install script needs space to backup and restore google apps when upgrading from one CM7 version to another.

Install and use this app to upgrade Clockwork: http://www.mediafire.com/?2lzep9ljnykq2nv

Description

• NOTE: Only for Gen2, ie devices that have been upgraded to 2.2
  
• This is a build that corresponds to a "nightly" but it is highly unofficial!
  
• It's Android 2.3.4 but it works with Google Apps from 2.3.3, available here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Latest_Version
  
• However, I have made a Google Apps package with the 2.3.4 versions: http://www.mediafire.com/?83iusm6b08nv3cn (Try this first, but if it causes trouble, try "Official" 2.3.3 version (link above))
  
• It is NOT possible to calibrate the screen at the moment and the calibration is hardcoded for my Light.

  • 2011-05-31 - Install works fine (at least for me) but it needed some more /tmp space in Clockwork (se above).
    
  • 2011-05-29 - This version really should work to install without running out of space on /tmp in Clockwork.
    
  • 2011-05-28 - Fixed the installscript that was broken i the last version.
    
  • 2011-05-27 - Removed hdpi graphics. Telephone audio should now always be routed to external speaker.
    
  • 2011-05-25 - Touchscreen calibration support and also added ldpi and hdpi bitmaps (for those who experiment with different LCD densities)
    
  • 2011-05-21 - Better autobrightness levels and lockscreen disabled by default.
    
  • 2011-05-20 - Inital version
    

  Tips & Tricks

  [*]Go into Settings and CyanogenMod Settings and turn on the 180 degree rotation.

[Guest ntonio]

Does anybody have an UptoDate guide to follow?

Theres so many links in this thread and so much talk of files that no longer exist or new methods have been found?

Using the Optus MyTab and wanting to flash upto CM7.. So ive downloaded practically all the files you could ever want, read thru the "Flash CM7 to ZTE v9.docx" then read thru the "ZTE ANDROID 2.2 FLASH STEP.docx" altho, the 2nd location says i need to email somebody and wait?

If theres 'new' steps that actually will work that would be great, im no amateur when it comes to Android and have been flashing many roms..

[Guest sab2000]

You can remove it with adb.

adb shell

rm /data/system/pointercal

It will then fallback to using /system/etc/pointercal

thanks a lot. I followed another post from you and flashed Optus 2.2 and then again moved to the custom ROM. lengthy process but successful.....

And thanks for all your hard work...... :D

[Guest neos_83]

anyone know a good a2sd+ script to use with this rom? I've been using link2sd but would prefer the whole /data/app directory being symlinked as oppossed to the individual apps.

[Guest yanggh]

can i flash it on acer liquid metal???
