**New** Root and Full Working Play Store and Google Apps/Root-Explorer

[iiDiabolusZz]

I install the framework from sdcard. In system/app there is a phonesky.apk already there. I believe that I should delete it, but where do I find the proper phonesky.apk? I found one in the internet, placed it to system/app but it does not install for some reason. I installed the phonesky.apk already there (the old one already in the tablet) but I cannot install the market from your root package.

Sorry for the questions, but I have no clue on what to do.......

Is it Rooted correctly? Here is a link for Phonesky - Hotfile.com: One click file hosting: Phonesky_3.8.17.4-2.apk

You should not need the market as this puts one in, just delete the phonesky.apk already there and paste the new phonesky.apk in the system/app and shut down

Where is the information about display size written? Where is the resolution written?

Hi, download the file below, rename it to phonesky.apk and put it on the sdcard, then using root explorer place it in system/app then delete the playstore.apk and restart tablet, that should solve the display problem.

Hi,
I have a Onda VI40 Ultimate 32Gb and have been trying to get it fully working.
I have followed the instructions so far and got the latest firmware onto the tablet (4.1 Jellybean), but have struggled to root it. I got copy root.zip and factory_update_param.aml onto my SD card fine.
However I then hit a couple of issues
1) Managed to get into recovery mode and rebooted, but the files weren't picked up.
2) So I thought that I should have to apply the files directly by choosing the zip from one of the other options in recovery mode, but now I have found that the volume keys don't work in recovery mode (although they do in normal use).
Any ideas?

Ok to update this
Using the instructions from iiDiabolusZz (thanks!), I installed an earlier firmware 4.0.3 (1.2rc2) and I had full control in the recovery mode, so I guess that there is a bug in the JB firmware for Vi40 regarding the recovery mode.

So using the root_gapps file, I tried installing it from recovery mode. It looked to complete ok, but I don't think it has done anything as I can't see root explorer, nor does Play Store work properly and the chinese apps are still there.

Does this method not work with Vi40 Ultimate?

Hi, the JB will remove the recovery options selection, tho' on the v701 i can use the volume up key to move through them, when your installing the root file on ICS make sure you have the correct factory.aml file for the root as they are different also i have put a link below to a different root file, open it and put both root.zip and factory.aml files on sdcard and boot to recovery it should auto install.

Any solution for the screen size problem?

Hi, i believe the problem is with how tapatalk is measuring the screen, your screen is 7 inch diagonal but from top to bottom measures just under 6 inch, minus the control bar which always shows gives you about 5.7 inch.

Thanks for that, but something isn't working, or I'm doing something wrong.

I tried this root.zip file with both ICS and JB and it didn't work. I also tried directly installing it from the recovery menu (in case it wasn't auto installing) but still no root explorer and all the chinese apps are still there.
I even tried your latest root file on the 1st page but there is a fault with it.

I'm at a loss of what to do next.....
