The lights HAL works perfectly. BUT the built in brightness slider can't go to the maximum brightness the device is capable of, which was the case before I applied the patch.
It would be great if you can patch that too.

This doesn't affect max brightness (255) in any way. This just removes calculation problem in lights HAL and allows you to change brightness between min/max values (10/255) that are set in framework.

Here's a patch with lights HAL from latest CM12.1 build. This will allow setting lower minimum brightness (framework min = 10).

Does this patch work on stock Android Rom in Chuwi HiBook Pro?

Yes. Actually moved it to 'how to fix all the things' page.

What device is that (Hibook Pro)? It turns out that on Hi12 the max brightness is only 60 instead of the usual 255 and that's messed up. I had to bring back some calculation in the lights HAL. Please test this and report back.

Konstat - I installed the light patch from your 7am posting on page 4.  I am not exactly sure how to tell if its working.  It dimmed before & seems to dim now.

cat /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness

in 'adb shell'/Terminal Emulator. Before went down to 29 - after goes down to 10.

Hi,

 

I really like this build. Thanks for sharing! However, I experience 3 major issues on my Hi12:

 

1. My tablet hangs when rebooting, it just stays there with a black screen

2. Often it refuses to wake up from deep sleep. Then I have to hard reset the tablet

3. When having to reset the tablet, RemixOS somehow "forgot" some applications and I have to reinstall them.

 

Strange enough, when looking under /data/app those apps are listed twice or more times.

 

Anyone out here with some hints to solve this?

[Guest suber13]

hi, does this process work also in nromal hibook?

Hibook would need similar compatibility patch as rest of the devices. I haven't looked into making any patches for Hibook. zltnngy has created one for CM13.

An apology for my ignorance. How do I identify on the tablet if it is normal or pro?

Better check 'about tablet' in settings. I would have said that it looks completely different (plastic housing vs. aluminium) and has full size USB ports. Apparently I've been confusing it with Hi10 (non-Plus/Pro). There's so many models/variants I can't keep up anymore. :P We're now talking about this device, right?

Edit. I've now added full support/patches for Hibook (TWRP, dm-verity, CM12.1, CM13, Remix OS).

Have you try Phoenix OS : http://www.phoenixos.com/en/download_x86

I try it !

It is really very very very very smooth better than Remix OS 2, but wifi, touchscreen... doesn't work !

There's a Phoenix OS build for Hi10 Pro in Chinese Chuwi forum and I've already ported it to my Vi10 Plus (https://twitter.com/konstatuomio/status/807940533100412928). All hardware is working but there was all kinds of small bugs (e.g. soft reboot pressing home key, etc). It's available for download in my AndroidFileHost account though I haven't 'released' it because of this.

Hello,

I have a chuwi hibook and I had already installed a version of remis OS but going through "intel flash tool". Version B2016051001.
I had no problems but as I could not root and the NTFS did not work I looked for something else.
And I found this version, I hated to install TWRP and rom remix OS.
I root it easily and the ntfs works, I'm happy except that I have a problem of rotation of the screen.
I have browsed the 5 pages of the forum and I see nobody talking about this problem, I have to be the only one.
The problem is that the rotation is offset by 90 °, when I am in portrait the tablet goes into landscape etc ...
I block the automatic rotation of the screen but it is not a solution.
If you have any ideas?

Thank you

I just added the Hibook patch a few days ago. Have you installed the right compatibility patch for your device? Have you tried CM12.1/CM13? What was the stock firmware version your device was shipped with?

You could try removing /system/etc/sensor_hal_config_default.xml from the Hibook patch and reflash ROM+compatibility patch.

Thank you for answering me
My stock firmware is "I1D6_C109.224 x64", I've never changed it appears as the latest one.
I have installed this "RemixOS-B2016092102-chuwi_vi10plus.zip" that is what corresponds to the HiBook link.  I have not seen a compatibility patch.
Then I installed this for the root: "UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.79-20161211114519.zip"

Well, that explains it. You need to install compatibility patch after flashing the ROM for every other device than Vi10 Plus (RemixOS-B2016092102-chuwi_vi10plus-Hibook.zip in your case). Please read installation instructions and FAQ!

Ok here is my mistake. But in fact I can not find a patch, although I download I always have a RemixOS-B2016092102-chuwi_vi10plus-Hibook.zip file that makes 623.5 Mio
I'm French, maybe for that I do not find :)

It's OK !! I finally found  :)

Thanks

Hello KonstaT

Thanks for your answer about Phoenix OS, i install your Vi10plus version.

It is really good, all works on my Hi10plus exept some soft reboot bugs like home button

Can you make an Update to the last version ?

I'm not aware of any newer version being available.

Hi everyone!

If you do not know, you can have destop as well as on Windows... Put and delete schortcuts that you want... It is necessary to go to the "Experimental Featueres", than turn on the "Enable Launcher File Mode"... For me, this is an excellent option!!! 

If someone described this, sorry :-)

Anyway. I now found the problem and a solution:

 

It's the SDcard reader which doesn't really work nicely together with my SanDisk 32GB card. Neither with RemixOS nor with CM 12.1. I also tried a Samsung card, but no luck with that one either.

 

My simple solution is now to use a 32GB USB storage from SanDisk. This one works great. Maybe this also explains the disappearing apps under Remix 2.0 ...?

[Guest d-scythe]

HI there, i have flash and use your CyanogenMod 12.1 rom for my device CHUWI HI12 and i like it. I wanted to try your port of the Remix OS 2.0 rom so i flash it to give it a go. I notice that this port doesnt have Exfat support like what the CyanogenMod 12.1 rom has. Is there any plans to add it into the Remix OS 2.0 rom in the future?

[Guest Elmdor666]

Hi Konsta,

Sorry, I don't know if this is the right thread for my question, but there is a way to replace the Remix OS of my Chuwi Vi 10 (Android only version) with Windows 10?

Thanks!
