[ROM] Gome Superpad firmware update 3245 Android2.1/stable/smooth/fast/unofficial

[compupane]

Can Nobody help me about my problem with the market to update it ?

Don't take this wrong, but we are all learning from each other here, so it is considered somewhat rude (at least I think) for a new member to expect an answer to a problem we're all having in less than 24 hours. We're all trying to help each other, so show a bit of respect please. rgocal has been phenomenal in his spearheading of helping us install this firmware. Many of us are more interested in seeing paid apps than the newer Market UI. By the way, I can say this because I bought my tablet in Jan. from a company that promised all kinds of updates and have since abandoned their paying customers after getting into hot water for not delivering. The volunteer support I get here is LIGHT YEARS better, and I hope I'm able to contribute some tidbits of knowledge as well every so often.

That said, read my next post.

Tonight was the first time I was able to push an app to my tablet through the http://market.android.com site on my computer. Not sure if it works with paid apps but will post back if/when I try it.

I've been on other android based websites and uk what? I cancled my subscriptopn to em because of war like behavior for better software and advancedments for their device. My homes here. The lil things are alright. Thanku for support and good work

Alright so this might help people in their investigating system app installation such as the updated eclair market we need installed. in my instructions of installing the live wallpapers, in terminal app u must put in the following to make the android system rewriteable, accessable, and be able to push (install) system based apps.

su
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

That command in terminal will allow u access to your file system and allow browsing in your root file browser such as the one in absolute system. Mtd3 happens to be the system partition (not always). Like windows, the android operating system partitions its memory space only windows needs one partition(or depending on the pc users specifications).

If you wanna see for yourself in terminal type

su
cat proc/mtd

Thatl show you your device's memory partitions

Let's say you deleted vending.apk or wowhome.apk on accident. You would find the replacement app from maybe the 1658 update folder. I'm gonna pick on wowhome.apk or the wow launcher, you would put that apk on the root of your sdcard. Once there, (once your rooted and have terminal installed and busybox) you would do the command posted above and then type...

cat /sdcard/wowhome.apk > /system/app/wowhome.apk

The command *cat* is telling the system ok I wanna move a file to the system. The arrow meaning push and /system/app/ meaning were to push. Now you have to name what u want the push to be so just name it what your pushing. /system/app/wowhome.apk

What else can this command be used for? Reverse the command and ull get the opposite

cat /system/app/wowhome.apk > /sdcard/wowhome.apk

That told the system hey I want this apk pulled (backed up) to my sdcard. So now you got a copy of that apk on your sdcard.
The point why I posted this? So you can experiment with system apks. System apks are android packages you go to install but after it says installing, the message cannot be installed appears. Like the vending.apk or market. So if you found the updated eclair or 2.1 market and you wanna try installing it, use the above to help you or if u just wanna play. For rookie android users, I would not recommend this cuz if u lose your apk u were messin with ur gonna flip chit on us and we have to throw water on yah and say chill out. The cool thing about android...everythings reversable or fixable.

My advice for the day
I'm still a rook myself but, you know how I'm learning? By visiting the android development site and reading, disecting roms for phones and firmwares for tablets and seeing how the dev packaged it and by playen myself. If the thing I did screwed my device up, I sit there and think...maaaybe that wasn't such a good idea or...ups.
With that if anyone hasn't heard yet, I am trying as a side project to take this update and repackage it to a community based custom firmware so we don't have to depend on the company for updates. We will depend on each other. Have I made any progess yet... a little but nothing running yet.

Just a few minutes ago I put The MicroSD Recovery Card 3245 Update1 in my PC tablet Fly Touch2 Infotmyc and I turn it on to reboot.

First it started updating..then started burning file system

and then asked me to turn it off and reboot.

After calybrating now both Interface application and

Home Screens are working properly and very stable.


But unforunately after I have inserted the Wireless WPA KEY Number

and clicked to "connect" it started "authanticating" then "connecting" but then disconnected

saying not in range remembered.
This is something that I was not facing with the previous WOW PAD SCREEN version.
Can someone help me to work around this problem ???
As without the WIFI connection it is useless.

My wifi works just fine. Did u try booting into recovery and clearing the cache?

Have you tried power-cycling your router to clear its DHCP address leases? It is POSSIBLE that it is confused because it sees it as the same, yet different, device.

Thanks guys,
But it was all my fault I had not selected the WAP/WAP2 option
to which my Router was set up.
By Factory on the System it was set to"auto", so once I have
changed it now everything works fine.
This update 3245 much faster and more stable than before.
You Tube and the Browser they work fine too.
I was able to change the Country/City and Date/Time Temps.
Only with Skype I get only the options to Talk and Chat
no Video, however I have not used it yet.
Keep well.Regards.
Andre

Video chat is only supported by 2.2 +

With this version (3245) I have troubles with HDMI. When I try to commute to TV it appears in the upper left corner of the FT2 “connection/disconnection” constantly changing (intermittent hdmi cable on off). The image and sound “hiccups” on FT2 screen. No image on TV. Some ideas would be appreciated. Thank you.

Just update yesterday and although i have noticed a frankly remarkable increase to both performance and booting i seem to be suffering from a remarkibly diminished battery life.

anything i can alter or switch out in my system options or a reliable app that can monitor this?

two and a half hours use to every four hours charging is becoming somewhat frustrating.
