Here's how to fix 'freezing issue' & 'keyboard dock wake issue' plaguing Chuwi Vi10 Plus & Hi10 Plus. This patch will:

Thank you so much, KonstaT!

Do you happen to have a link for the download of  Remix OS B2016080801 ? I cannot find it. I would like to flash it with TWRP.

Kiitos!

There's B2016072501 firmware available on Chuwi Forum. You should immediately receive an OTA to B2016080801. You need to use stock recovery to install the OTA.

Edit. I'll take that back. It's B2016080801 that is available on Chuwi Forum. You need to use Intel Platform Flash Tool to install. You can also just fastboot flash system and boot images from that firmware if also do a factory reset in recovery first. Or maybe you have a nandroid backup of the B2016080801 firmware you can restore with TWRP...

My device was originally shipped with B2016072501 and then it received an OTA to B2016080801.

KonstaT,

I installed your fix file in my H10 Plus running RemixOS, and so far so good! It seemed to have fixed the keyboard wake issue that was draining the battery (I was not having frequent freezing, so cannot comment on that one).

 

Thanks a lot (I will make a small donation as well),

Jose

hello Konstat

tried on my vi10 with android, and no more sound!! reset the tab, but always same problem ; i must reflash.............

Yeah, and wifi/bt, cameras, etc. I've accidentally included wrong modules in the boot image. Fat finger syndrome, pressed the wrong button repacking the image. :P

This should work. Thanks for testing, I was too lazy to do it myself (clearly should have).

Just want to report that the freeze and keyboard fix works well on Vi10 Plus: stock Android 20160803

When I installed stock android I replaced the gpt.bin file with the one from stock Remix OS before flashing and I got a full 25gb of storage instead of the default 8gb.

Hi KonstaT. Do you think your vi10plus-fix-kbwake (keyboard wake only) would work on the Hi10 Plus z8350 ?

Yes, exactly why I posted it. It has vi10plus on its name because so does everything else and couldn't come up with anything better (it's actually just the old CM12.1 patch renamed).

Hi KonStat I just run the flash of the new kernel and does not seem to give freezing problems, however, the tablet does not recognize the SD card, I tried using the old 64Gb and a new 8Gb, but nothing, the touchpad also created problems for me not resolved when the slide opens my Google Chrome without select.THANK yOU

SD cards work just fine with this patch. This patch doesn't break your sdcard but doesn't fix it if it was broken before either. Maybe you have faulty hardware?

I'm not aware of touchpad issues but this is not meant to fix those either - only the wakeup issue.

Cursor keys and space bar scroll web pages just fine at least with Chrome and CM13 I'm currently running.

Hi,

Thanks for your great work KonstaT. I've followed your guide to solve the freezing problem and now the tablet seems to work great.

I've just a little additional question for you: I've noticed that if I go to Settings -> Updates, it says that Remix OS has been modified and cannot be updated.

How can we manage future updates for Remix OS?

Thanks again!

Heh, you really think there's going to be updates? ;) If that happens, we can deal with it then (just restore the original firmware and update with OTA).

Besides there's already a newer Remix OS build (B2016092102) available with all these issue fixed and plenty more.

Wow Thanks!

I'm gonna update to this final version soon if you suggest it!

Edit: And staying at my current situation I have just to follow you "How to install" steps? Will the factory reset step erase my data and apps?

Thanks again!

You should be fine updating Remix OS with dirty installation (no need to wipe anything). Make a nandroid backup in TWRP just in case.

Factory reset will erase user apps and their data. If you face any issues, do that first (I still maintain my 'no wipe - no whine' policy :P).

Ok so I can proceed just with a backup and installation of the new zip and I should be fine ;)

Thanks!

Sorry again KonstaT,

I see that this time the file size is much bigger than the previous one. So this is the whole RemixOS patched right? The vi10plus-fix-freeze-kbwake-RemixOS-B2016080801.zip was just the fix for the issues am I right? ;)

Your new version bring improvements also to wifi, graphics and others?

Yes and yes, you're correct.

Who knows. It's a closed source stock ROM and there's no changelog available. You just have to assume newer is better.
