Error logging works.

Can now catch errors we wouldn't have seen before

I have a quick question, has OC'd U-boots been found to be too unstable? I've been trying to get them to work in my rom for the 8024, but they just end up bricking my tablet. Yes, I did hex edit them to use ut8gm for the LCD value, but thats all I change. Sometimes I do get the white screen, but mostly just bricks the tablet and I have to do a recovery to get it going again.

i only encountered one game(i forgot the name) that didnt work because i used overclocking(i used my old froyo cfw)..but other than that everything working properly. For Gingerbread i havent tested that game..but everything works so far...

darn urbetter. putting out an 'official rom' with a big bug in it. that's in the binary and pretty much impossible to repair ? ? ? or is it a matter of a labelling goof ?

Its really just a quick test but that rom's UI is pretty.

Someone in china post another firmware link.

HaiPad have 3.0 UI and this one doesn't (This what they said in the Chinese forum)

http://210.83.80.175:18000/utv210/gingerbread/update/package/703_gingerbread_2.3.17_20110924.img.rar

or mirror

http://www.mediafire...bq5xeegx6f6k58t

I have done a quick compare with this and haipad firmware, they are different

The modversion of Haipad is utv210-2.3.16 and this one is utv210-2.3.17

The UTmodules have differences too, the date in Haipad in newer then this one, but after binary compare, only two modules have differences , thay are battery.ko and ft5x0x_ts.ko, the ft5x0x have big different in size too, which is 12K vs 115k in haipad.

To extract content of this firmware:
After download then remove the "rar" extension (ie: rename to 703_gingerbread_2.3.17_20110924.img)
Use WinImage to open the IMG file, then you will see the content of the firmware.

One more thing, If anyone need hotspot support, please try the Haipad firmware, I see a patch call "search_hotspot_patch.tgz" inside.

Haipad firmware is same kernel: 2.6.35.7
build number: 2.3 gingerbread 20110921.113041
this is nice, same kernel all kernel modules will work
diferent icons, status is at the bottom, nice transparent notification bar...
(maybe this is 3.0 user interface ... )
also very nice round unlock, folowing natural finger movement
also, old market, more usable in my opinion
CPU speed is 1149.37 MHz
different icons...
overall look nice
EDIT: more info after few changes:
if change density in build.prop:
ro.sf.lcd_density=160 - nice new icons are back to standard, no transparent effect!
this setting:
debug.sf.hw=1 does NOTHING ! if value is 0 then tablet is unusably slow!
and last but very important!!!
AD-HOC wifi is working!!! my joiku-spot is workin finaly


...wow, there is some good info in there !

I also tried the 1010 firmware.

I liked it and was going to use it as a base, but if bluetooth is broken I won't.
About to try the new one that rain posted.

i went over to read what is happening with this rom on the slate forum and the "major" work / adoption of the 1010... That thread sez that bt is not broken ! huh ? ? ? flxrms please re-test if at all possible because 1010 looks like a big win for us.
.
scratch the re-test, thank you... i re-read the thread just now and a member states:
"Bluetooth doesn't work at all on it. There is no way to turn it on in setup. It's working fine in your 2.0."
.
prox probably has seen the bug before and so knows the trick to turn it "on". with exposure comes knowledge.

I got 703_gingerbread_2.3.17_20110924 running on my 7024 with the honeycomb GUI.

I'll zip it up and upload soon so someone can test bluetooth.

This ROM is better than "Evolution MOD v2"?

I don't know, that will be up to you to decide.
