THIS ROM MAKES THIS PAD ROCK NOW
For now its back to using IUW to do either one of the versions..
you will also need to have done a U-BOOT-NAND upgrade at some stage.. and need to be showing at least uboot - 0.6.1.5 (587) at bootup at the right hand bottom of our screen.. if you dont have this then you will need to do it..
1: Here's a new link by Smarkies that has a great pictural step by step flash guide

2: This is the new Flashable via SDcard 2.2 v2.1 thanks to vihtor

instructions.. thanks to Jiggity Janx
CONFIRMED #3925 2.2 v2.1 bootable sd install. One step process. Great job!
(for those wondering I have 6.1.5 (559) uboot so any at that or later should be allright)
EDIT: IF you have at least 6.1.5 (559[or higher]) showing on the Infotmic screen when booting you should be able to 1) download the .img file at the link above, 2) burn the .img file to an sd card using win32diskimager (or winhex), and 3) insert the sd card into slot between 2 usb ports while booting to update to 2.2 v2.1.
PS Not only does camera still work clearly for me on 559, camcorder records now.

3: Ramdisk work around
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13974529&postcount=58
read posts from about 55-58 on Smarkies, why it is a good idea to re-flash the ramdisk
other versions if you have no success with the one above....
here's a link to the files you need.. iuw1.1-english
http://www.fileserve.com/file/taD2UBA
plus instructions..
http://www.fileserve.com/file/6Hn9ytR
Use IUW to make a bootable sdcard.. this is first version.. still stable, it is posted for those that dont want to go straight in to flashing a unwrapped image file.. if you use the instructions you should be able to just dump/flash this to your usual bootable sdcard.. stick it in the top slot and it will upgrade to this version.. no usb needed.. (note.. you will still have needed to have upgraded your "u-boot" at some stage... read further down for this..
ROM 2.2 V1_8
http://www.b2cus.com/software/WWE10B_Android_2_2_V1_8_U0M_GT2005.rar
2ND VERSION -
Warning - be slow and sure about what you do here.. you can brick your pad if you burn the wrong files... you have been warned..read the other threads before you do anything.. and have the opened IUW instructions with the pictures if you are unsure...
1st use one of these...

Working and rooted.
I installed #3656 first and skipped the UO file when installing this and everything worked great. I installed the newest UO 0.6.1.5 () too and root seems to work after that too.
What I really like with this release is that swedish language is included (was missing in all updates after 1623) and ofcourse that it's Froyo!
To get Titanium Backup to work you will have to copy your old TitaniumBackup folder from the SD card to the new created when you installed TitaniumBackup, after that TitaniumBackup will find all your backuped apps.
It seems like both Flytouch2 and Flytouch3 are at version #3925, maybe the are compiling new versions for both pads at the same time now, so we can count on a new version when Flytouch3 gets one?

NOTE: do not use the update software on the pad even through it says there is an update available.. it will take you back to firmware: 2.1-update1 V1.8#2752
kernel version : 2.6.32.9

Bugs so far.. will update as the forum grows so that we have a reference page at the front.. saves a lot of reading later if this grows too much..
Please report your bugs and we can get people to work out fix's for you..
1: Ndrive does not work in this version
2: Small amount of people experience has Wifi connection/dropout problems - yet to find a fix..
Also no confirmed tests on Ethernet connections as yet - will confirm once we get some feed back - I am in Singapore airport and wasn't able to use the the Ethernet plugin for net.. so will check it out over the next few days as I will be in different Hotels so can test connections on the road
3: No apps2sd --- hope some one smarts finds a work around.. it would be killer if we could redirect some of the apps to see the SD1
A note on this...
in 2.2 V1.8 the file structure is sdcard local ram storage.... and ... SD1 - sdcard storage.. and SD2 -
in 2.2 V2.1 file structure is Local ram storage... and SDcard 1 and 2
both are locked in to using the local partitions for program storage and program data storage..
Which is a shame as things like ebooks and heavy graphic programs it would be nice to send the storage to SD1 or 2
This is fixed.. look at Smarkies thread for work around..http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074251
4: Synchronization contacts and google calendar - Mixed bag on this one.. some get it some don't...might be a cache thing..
Fix once again provided by Barsuk .. check posts from Capeschae and Barsuk for fix.. they are from posts 121 pg13 - 126 pg 13
5: Paid Market apps - This is because of the China location block from Google more on it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=551929&page=3
there seems to be a fix thanks to Barsuk..
Problems with market. Not all applications are available. Workaround: clear data for Google Services Framwork then force stop it then reboot tablet.]

Yes..I had that problem too..as tried to set a cache Linux as well..had a God arwful time with it..I think it is something to do with how they have setup the drives for the internal ram on the pad..
Hopefully one of the guru's will grab this then work out how we can get real apps2sd..then we will be laughing..

I installed this official Froyo too. It's very, very fast, more than all the different firmware tested from here!
Some remarks/questions:
- The camera is not working anymore, the preview screen shows green or sometime other colors...
- A lot of apps are pre-installed, meaning that it is impossible to update them (Dolphin Browser, Skype, Facebook etc...)
- Is it possible to install Flash Player on it? Will it work? Does anybody tried?
- Is it possible to overclock the Flytouch2 with this rom? Is the kernel overclockable?
Thanks,
Tuc

Hi,
I have installed this new firme and i have a problem with the wifi. You turn off continuously and lasts very little connected. I have configured with fixed ip and wpa encryption.

After installed 2.2 v2.1 #3925 I found two bugs
- The camera does not work properly. I fixed the camera by replacing u-boot-nand.bin. Currently I have version 0.6.1.2 (587)
- Failure to sync contacts and calendar.
Market and Google Maps in this version work properly.

not able to root
This verision is awesome, having problems rooting it, have tried z4root and universal android root also, anyone have a solution for this. also having problems with market, not showing alot of apps, mostly Chinese and no google navigation
I used UniversalAndroot-1.6.2-beta5. The first time did not work the second time worked.
Hello,
Thank you for answering me. It is true that by dhcp works perfectly, but prefer to solve the problem and leave it in static. Anyway with this solution, I better to work with the epad and already ire sought a way to fix it.
A greeting and thank you
After trying a few flash websites, I noticed that Flash Player is ON BOARD in this Froyo ROM!
But colors are something between colored and black&white...and crash in fullscreen mode.
The colors issue has been fixed on the new Flytouch (512Mb RAM) - the following quotation from Androidtablets.net explains how to proceed:
Flash Player issues RESOLVED - new flash player .apk
I have tested this on my ft2v2 with TCH rom 0419, and it mostly worked! Flash now played with correct colours and almost no lag once buffered. It did however crash when I attempted to go full screen, so not perfect yet. Opera mini and Maxthon Browser use the youtube app for youtube website if you have it installed. This works excelently. Flash worked well on other flash websites, I tried an emag site and it loaded where it would not before.
Here is the new apk: Adobe flash for flytouch3.rar (Thanks koti)
Password: koti
Install:
1) use Root Explorer to rename file \system\app\install-flash-player.apk to .old
2) Reboot Flytouch
3) Install the above .apk
I tried youtube and also some eMag sites.
NOTE: This is now included in Tim's ROMS 3b and 3c.
NJoy!

I tried to find the file \system\app\install-flash-player.apk but it doesn't exist in our 256Mb Flytouch...so I directly installed the new Flash Player from the link above but nothing changed with the Flash videos colors, even after a restart.
Does anyone know how to properly install this new version of Flash Player???!!!

I rectified,
Still failing me the wifi. Automatically I hold a more function, but is still cutting. Before I had the firm 3245 and it worked fine. So I'm going to return to this firm.

Cool, wait until you upload a revised version.
Hi Dexter,
Do yu think it's possible to use TitaniumBackup Backup(Program and system) from 1.2 to réinstall program and system on these 0.3?
Thanks
Stéph.
Ive installed the "crashing" version...
now I wait for the new release...
but...
it's possible to have some some more languages (i.e. Italian )
Ive force close with contact app...maybe a new market related issue...
I cant set my own wallpaper...ther is a way to do that please?
btw great rom! maybe better than foliomod! I really like the new interface!

as this has other framework + different launcher, some settings differ.
but try and find out, you probably find some apps crashing, but then try uninstalling and reinstall.. never tried it.

First experience (except for my small marketapp problem)
is , that it download/install faster... and lagging seems less here?
Of course post experience compared to my Toshiba edition, so we know if its worth using or just maybe, the fact that our Toshiba edition is actually is quite good..
Seriously I love it, it's running perfectly great:
-notification bar and setting are just awesome..
-wifi working great for me
-memory usage is good
-battery and standby I'll check tomorrow after night testing
-SDCard works great even with toshiba file manager (used titanium backup to install back my apps)
-new home also great but less responsive
-launcherpro or adw.launcher both works great but "setting" doesn't work since it's using new setting app
-Browser and mail client looks great
Still some bugs:
-No 360° rotation - Sorry 360° works great but doesn't work with home default launcher
-Only english (us & uk), more local 2 don't change a lot
-Taskmanager doesn't work
well this is my feedback after few minutes testing
again Dexter a great work, thanks
PS/ Happy Holidays for all

you must be doing something wrong, i got like 15 languages selectable, and even more, when i type my national code as explained in readme.txt .
so check again.. many lang's works fine on this one, just using morelocale2
Hi all,
thanks for this new mod Dexter, but I've some questions :
- With morelocale2, I've change the langage to french, but I've always a QWERTY keyboard, any idea ?
- The mail app don't sync my email with hotmail in exchange, do you know why ?
I like this mod, you're doing a very good work, all my respect

i have so far collected $1 for all of my hard work here updated on 10/16/11
YES!!! thank you for trying, I'm afraid im nothing more than moral support brother. good luck.
So I just put the .img files onto the root of the internal memory? Then what?
How do I flash the img files? Tried Droid explorer, nada.
I've done the same... but my tablet rejects the updated.img file as invalid and offers its deletion
I think i got it going into recovery mode:
HOLD the Down arrow key and Press the Power button (connect it via usb to a computer prior to do this) now the screen is still black but the computer will try to install usb driver for it ... where is the usb driver ?? LOL
Hello, everybody!
I've been hunting for information about this tablet for some time and decided to stop leeching info and share what I got so far (not much but could be helpful). My primary goal isn't really a flashy ROM (no pun intended, neither about flashing nor adobe flash ), but a rooted device.
Here's what I know:
First of all, my tablet is sold by a different name, but is essentially the same device as next 3, probably a generic Chinese tablet. It is called Prestigio MultiPad PMP3084B:
XXX
All software should be completely compatible between these two devices, as far as I know.
As you can see, Prestigio has recently updated the firmware to 2.1.2. It still has a lot of bloatware (fring, facebook, etc) and cannot be rooted by usual tools, but includes SlideMe app market and an updated book reader (I have used it for a couple of days now and not much is changed from the previous build). If you nextbook users want to try a different firmware, you could try this one (or at least use it in future ROM cooking).
For some reason the links on the main Prestigio website don't work, so here are the links with working files:
XXX
The most useful thing for us should be the instructions and tools for flashing. The instructions given in the .doc files work 100%, both driver installation and flash procedure are fully explained, so be sure to check it out.
Another useful thing I found are the instructions for making a custom rooted ROM for rk2818 devices, found at XXX
I haven't had the time to try those out, but I found some info about people who made it work on various rk2818 devices.
Lets make this thread useful to others, share our experiences and try to unlock the bloody thing.
Edit: Unfortunately, the forum has a spam-preventing feature which doesn't allow me to post outside links before accumulating 8 posts. I will gladly send you the links through PM, just contact me. It would be nice if somebody with higher user privileges could then post them in this thread.

I'm glad to join your initiative, hopefully we can achieve something in this thread. Just one small correction: the screen is 8.4'', which is important as it makes this tablet stand out from generic 7'' tablets.

Hello I have a Prestigio PMP3084B whixh seems to be based on the same hardware as NextBook Next3. PMP3084B even has a secondary interface which looks exactly as the one on the Next3.
I'm trying to root my device, but had no luck yet. If this Next3 got rooted maybe there is a chance for me too. Any ideas?
But Prestigio has just release a newer Firmware Build than the Next3 ... i have saw the ROM on Odys Genesis and it's a better interface than the others two

Guys, I just got my XT720 and I'm going to either flash it for Wanted's froYo or keep stock Eclair + Jit and App2SD. From what I read, wanted's lastest ROM seems the best option for me me once I don't use Wi-Fi, but I got some questions that I din't find in the release topic:
1. Does the native App2SD for FroYo works?
2. Flash Player Works?
3. If the native APP2SD doens't works, can I apply this method :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7909401&postcount=52 on this ROM, or if I do this before flash for 2.2 will it keep JIT em App2SD?
4. How do I check wich stock ROM I'm using? I just got the phone, bought it in USA, but I guess it's the Euro version coz MotoNav has only Euro maps.
I guess is it, thanks in advice.

1. yes
2. yes
3. I know Dexters ROMs will automatically move the user apps to an ext2(3?) partition if it's there. In addition Mioze7Ae patch to 1.3 offers additional configurations as to how this works, I'm not sure about XAVs ROMS in this respect.
I am watching XAVs ROMs & once he fixes the bugs in the 1.3 beta I'll be giving it a try. Kahlpowers also has some nice themed variations, you can check out his builds in his post in the theme section (you'll want to look towards the end of the thread as the themes at the beginning are based on 2.1 eclair).

Thank you very much, so I'll just flash Dexter's or Xav's ROM. I'll read a bit more about Dexter's lastest release, I was going to try Xav's coz people said it's faster than Dexter's and actually the only bugs reported aren't that bad ( at least for me) but Dexter's maybe a better option while Xav's doesn't fix all bugs. Thanks again =)
Guys, I flashed my phone to Dexter's 1.3 ROM, it's working fine, but I have "2" new questions:
1. I want install that Honeycomb Theme from Kahpower http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11986041&postcount=192 how do I install it, same way I did to install Dexter's or gotta flash for stock and redo the whole process?
1.1- I NEED TO create that ext3 partition or is it optional?
1.2- Is this ROM the same as Dexter's 1.3 but with the new theme?
2- What's yours phone avarage temperature? Even with stock ROM I think my XT is a too hot near the camera, it says 41°C Avarage, is it normal?
Thanks in advice!
You download the KPs nandroid file & unzip it then copy the xthoneycomb folder to the /nandroid/openrecovery/ folder on yours sdcard & then just boot into OpenRecovery & nandroid restore just like the installation of Dexters Froyo, no need to flash back to stock & the ext3 patition is optional it will use it if its there but its not necessary. Khalpowers themes throw in a few other tweaks but are generally built off Dexter's Froyo.

Thanks again man, I feel safer now to do it, got this phone there isn't even a day and I'm already flashing it, so I'm a bit scared of doing any mistake and Bricking it..
And a final question, Quadrant and Milestone Overlock show CPU defaut Clock as 550 Mhz, shouldn't it be 720?
Edit:
Just flashed it: OMG this is so beatiful ! The collors match perfectly with XT720's collor (Graffite front/blue rear) ! And the way that the pages/tabs pop in on the screen is so cool ! It's a completly new phone, much better. Now is just install my apps and have fun! =D the only thing that is worrying me is that fact that the phone is very hot, even at 550 Mhz.. dunno if it's the XT720 normal temperature, but I don't think so.
I have the questions regarding the installation of the ROM Dexter,
1. ext3 will need to take before making the change in ROM, or that I can do next?
2. To work App2Sd is necessary to partition the SD?
Thanks for the help
1) you can do that after you flash the Froyo
2) you don't need to if you plan to use Froyo's Apps 2 SD
but you need to if you want to use Link2SD

@ Lezherus
Check here for info about Milestone OC settings (I run 1GHZ @ 60vsel, governed with SetCPU).
@ Tavinsky
It is my understanding that the check for an ext3 partition happens at boot, so you I think you could "add" this feature later & yes you will have to partition your sdcard to take advantage of the apps2ext feature. Note that Froyo native apps2sd which can copy compatible apps to a hidden folder on the FAT32 works without any re-partitioning.
HTH
Thanks guys, I'm about to change the ROM, their responses are very helpful.

I know, that wasn't my point.. I mean, thats like my XT's processor orginal clock is 550Mhz, even at 2.1 stock it was 550 Mhz, but isn't the stock 720Mhz? or there are differents types of XT720? And thats totally weird, but at 550Mhz my phone was a firebar ( 41°C at no use and 45 at common use ), I overclocked it to 1000Mhz and it's normal now lol (38°C).
BTW, someone know how to disable the new voice mail notification on status bar? It's stucked there and I can't remove it.. I've already read all my voice mails, tried everything and it still there =(
It should just automatically disappear. Delete everything from VM?

Wantedrom 1.3 screen rotate/youtube upload
So I've tried all the variation from Dexter's first 2.2 rom and have stopped with the latest Wanted Rom1.3
Two things I'm not liking...
1: my screen will not rotate if I am using the keyboard for a text message and would like the larger button layout.
2: I no longer have the option of uploading a video from my phone directly to Youtube. Youtube downloads were only done using stock2.1 so maybe I missed that this was missing from the roms I've previously tried as well.
anybody have any thoughts?
Wanted 1.3 - no screen autorotate
No rotate for anything.

Of course, it's "on". I even reflashed this ROM again and wiped all cache and set to factoty settings before it. Problem stays the same - no autorotate.
Tried Wanted ROM 1.2 and Dexter 1.3, everything works there. The problem seems to be in this Wanted ROM version.
no real wheel...
Sent from my Milestone XT720 using XDA App
Autorotate
The screen will rotate for games and applications that require a landscape view instead of portrait but not for anything where it is an option.
I backtracked a little and set my phone to wantedrom 1.2. I didn't even do a factory reset as everyone is always insisting is necessary. Autorotate fixed, all my applications stayed loaded and functional as before.
Overclocked at 1200 MHz , 80vsel and the phone is screaming fast.
After I typed this, I checked the wanted forum and found his solution to the sensor issue...

Welcome to Androot-N7p-ROM for the NextBook 7 Premium *ONLY.
I decided to change up some of the apps and generalize the rom in terms of its boot-animation screen. It runs on LauncherPro (just choose it as the "always"/default upon first instance of it. The Launcher that comes with the device isn't so great, but I left it there just in case.
It's based on the first known rooted ROM for this device: 'DocHoppy's ROM'. Credit for most of this ROM goes to him and to 'Wendal' for his toolset for packing the ROM (into cramfs) for the Nextbook 7 Premium device.
As such, it is a beta/ work-in-progress.
Androot-N7p-ROM v0.2
[ 146 MB ]
download here
Instructions:
*WARNING: FLASHING THIS DEVICE WILL ERASE YOUR DATA AND APPS!!!!*
Download image.
Rename file to update.img
copy file to root of SD card.
Follow on screen prompt asking if you want to run update image.
Disclaimer:
I am not responsible for bricked devices.
Here's my changes..
removed:
-youtube player <- the real youtube app is better
-explorer <- redundant
-slide me app market <- redundant now that Google's Market is installed
-quick search box <- Google Search widget is better IMO
kept/added:
-Market <- the real Google one
-root explorer - an alternative & capable file explorer
-astro file manager <- we all know it well
-quickpic 1.5.2 - a much lighter & more efficient photo organizer/viewer
-3D gallery <- some love it, some hate it
-brightness level 1.0.0 - quicker brightness changes
-ConnectBot 1.6.2 <- for those that need a SSH tool
-Officesuite full <- may as well keep it
-Titanium Backup 4.6.7 <- has some very handy tools aside from backups
-LauncherPro 0.8.6 <- may be old, but it's smooth and capable
-superuser <- because this rom is rooted
-has some of the Google Apps (go ahead and add as you see fit)
-has a custom boot animation.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Known Issue:
Apps2sd reports SU Binary out of date. Attemps to update this via superuser fails due to cramfs file system.
It's not perfect, but it does work well and I run it as my daily driver on my N7P.
Please give feedback or suggestions! I trust the pro devs could easily help me out with the little things!

Can the dialer be removes without losing "contacts"?

Hello, first of all, thanks for your work!
I am having trouble loading this rom. it says there's an invalid image file in my sd card and if I want to delete.
Now, I don't know if my tablet is a never or older version of what you guys have...
Next7p
2.3.1
kernel: 2.6.32.27
build: v2.0.7.....
my serial is also different from alot..it starts with YF0511
any help or tips?
In Dochoppy's original rom/post he mentions that the device will need to have a serial number starting with YF1011. That stands the same for this rom, as it's derived from his.
Having an invalid update.img firmware file could be due to a number of things, but the one I have here works on my device.
I wish I had more of an answer, but by all means try out the tools for repacking the rom.
So after messing around compiling a ROM, I forgot to add a launcher, and now I am stuck in a bootloop. After the girl in the dress is there for awhile, I get a black screen, then reboot. Anyone now how to fix this? I have been searching Google, but can not find anything yet.
Any help would be great!

I had mine half dead for a short bit until i found i could go into a low level bootloader mode and recover it. I am working on getting a the tool/images i used to recover mine uploaded and such.
Download and extract n7p_rescue_kit.zip
Reboot device using paper clip then quickly press and hold reset until you get black screen with usb plugged in
When windows wants driver give it the respective folder for your os (32bit or 64bit) from Drivers folder from the download
Run RK29update.exe if it says "Found RKAndroid Loader Rock Usb" on bottom you are good but if it shows "No Found RKAndroid rock usb" repeat last step.
Either flash all of the default selected items or do just system (since bootloop is in system)
Hope this helps
P.S. If you pack then unpack your custom one you can flash JUST system using the tool but be sure to use the offsets that are pre-loaded.
use a pin to push the reset button on the back to break out of the boot loop.
If after this your rom still bootloops, try putting a different update.img rom to flash, on to the sd card. Then boot into safe mode by holding all 4 front buttons after boot. the update should be found and installed after that.
Thanks!
I registered just to thank DocHoppy for all his efforts. I have a Nextbook Premium 7 I got for Christmas from Hastings, which fell into the YF09111XXXX batch. I used Wendal Chen's RK29xxImageTools_v2.1 to unpack the firmware upgrade from the nextbookusa site. I then put the Google apks, SuperUser, Rootexplorer, and re-packed it with a custom bootanimation. Because of my serial # I couldn't use DocHoppy rom without getting that "Invalid Update" error, but using their firmware seems to work.
My next goal is to find a way to get the "Accounts & Sync" into the settings! One of my apps is getting an "Error 42" which is an Android Market authentication error... however, other apps have worked without any problems so it's difficult to tell if that's the issue I'm having.

Not sure if this rom will work for you, just guessing by your serial number. If it is to work changing between roms on these tablets is very easy. Just download the image onto the root of your sdcard, rename it update.zip (not update.zip.zip) your tablet will recognize it as an update and ask if you want to proceed. If you say yes then follow the prompts and your in business!

Just go this to day and was plesantly suprised to find this rooted rom. Just wanted toy let you know that my S/N is YF12112xxxx and this rom work prefect for me (so far) Thanks for all the work you guys have done here. Also is there anyway to over clock the processor in out tabs?
Thanks for the comments thus far!
I would like to overclock this thing too, but that might be further down the road, as priority is on getting a different file-system for the /system volume.
Version 0.4 is coming next.
FYI:
There will be a larger span of time between updates on this particular rom for the N7p, because I will be using more stable conjumbles of things from other roms for this device. This rom is more of a remix or derivative than an entirely different rom.
Again thanks for all the hard work. I have a few requests. first since we cant change the Adhoc ( using wifi from another android device) on the fly with out RW access can you please add the ability to connect to adhoc wifi in the next build? Also i love google currents app but we cant use is on our device because we don't have map's installed. can that be added as well?

Most of the N7P roms out there now have Market installed and working. Why not just install these apps yourself?
I only suggest so because for the time being, the device is limited to its minimal capacity for apps without full-on apps2SD. Besides, for a tablet like this, you want to keep the system apps to a minimum and de-bloated for performance whenever possible.

The ad-hoc networking is something worth putting in a later release though.

1. INTRODUCTION
-----------------------------------------------------------
I got myself a Star B92M China-brand phone. The phone features are awesome,
with Android 4.0.4 ICS ROM; HD display; 1GB RAM; and very affordable price
-- I couldn't ask for more.
However the stock ROM has a few caveats:
- It sends out SMS to the phone manufacturer each time I reboot the phone.
- There are a lot of junks inside. I don't need those China apps!
- The internal storage is pretty small. I got my storage full in no time.
- I want more recent Android ROM.
Of course there are solutions to this. I found them, I tried them out. I give
them credits (see below in credit section). More than that, hopefully I can
get my phone to do better. I'll just customize this.
-----------------------------------------------------------
2. FEATURES
-----------------------------------------------------------
- Jelly Bean 4.1.2
- 2.5GB internal storage partition
- Back to basic - trimmed down apps
- Will not SMS back to manufacturer
- Use external SD as primary phone storage, instead of the remaining 85MB.
-----------------------------------------------------------
3. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
-----------------------------------------------------------
3.1 REQUIREMENTS
The following are installation requirements:
Requirements:

I'll check out the fix. So far I have no issue with my GPS.
Hi,
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THIS!
You saved my a?? today - I killed my b92m and was not able to get it back to work again. Already the recovery mode failed .... and then I found this. All I can say is: Very cool work.
I was able to install it without any real issue on my phone (just one issue - see below).
Now about the issue:

I got myself a Star B92M China-brand phone. The phone features are awesome,
with Android 4.0.4 ICS ROM; HD display; 1GB RAM; and very affordable price
-- I couldn't ask for more.

I also have the 1GB RAM edition (at least my 4.0.4 Image showed up 1 GB RAM in every tool).
Now - after having flashed your package - I see only 512 MB of RAM.
Any idea how to fix this?
Thanks again!

Just checked mine using Antutu Benchmark.
Under Info -- System Info.
Check under Memory size (available/total). What do you see there?
I got 456.5 / 970.7 (which means roughly I got 1GB RAM total). Let me know your result.

Flash preloader from 2.5GB folder. You shall be fine.
Anyway, for the OP, how about the camera? Is it 8MP or 12MP? If it's 8MP, can you make a flashable zip for those who want 12MP? And any luck with GPS issue? Since the first day I got this phone I never have GPS fix. Oh, I almost forget, is this ROM deodexed?
Thanks in advance, dev.

Help ! )
I am new to all this flashing thing - thats why I was so happy when I found your work here - the "all in one package".
When you say "flash preloader ...", do you mean "take preloader.img from a 2.5gb-data-perm-root.zip file" and just flash that using the flash tool? Or do you mean preloader_vanzo77_twn_jb.bin from your zip file?
On the camera:
I can select only up to 8 MPIX when I go to camera settings ... is this what you need?
How do I create the "flashable zip"?
On the GPS:
Need to test it.
And WTF means "deodexed"?

Yes, the first one, from 2.5GB folder. If the issue persists, copy preloader from 2.5GB to JB folder, then delete the original one (the original preloader from JB something-vanzo-blablabla). Reflash using SP Tool and make sure the preloader is from 2.5GB folder. Reboot. I posted about the issue in another thread, perhaps you can relate to this too: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36285435&postcount=503
P.S. Wipe data if necessary.
P.S.S This is very advanced. If you don't know what you're doing, stop where you are! You might end up bricking your device.
And yeah, the rest of questions I meant for the OP. You can care less.

OK, cool. Done.
I flashed the preloader and now I am back to 1 GB RAM (max 970 / free 548).
On the GPS topic:
I used the gpstest app and did a clear AGPS / request AGPS step. Afterwards, it took about 2-3 minutes to get a fix.
And while driving home, I constantly had 6+ satelites in view and an accuracy of about 10-15 meters.
In short: GPS is working as before (i.e. before=my old 4.0.4 ROM)
Thanks again.
The Spanish forum has a new ROM as of today, but they continue to use that god-awful multiupload.nl to place the files, so my system absolutely refuses to let me download anything from it...
Guys,
What is the build number of this custom rom based on ?
I just got a B92M with 1GB and preinstalled with JB 4.1.2 . Build number is B92 20121222- 160954
Any advise on how to root this Jelly Bean ?

Checked the GPS fix.
I tried out with two units of B92M, one with GPS fix and another without the fix. Result is somewhat non-satisfactory. The fix does not seem to help much in alleviating the GPS fix issue.
I tried out "GPS Test" and cleared AGPS & redownloaded AGPS data. This seems to help better as I could get the GPS info faster this way.
Haven't tried out physical antenna mod, tho.
I will keep you guys posted on this.

Hi there, perhaps I am blind somehow ... how can I disable Vibration on standard system notification in this ROM? I can not find the setting

Steelburn,
Can you advise what build version is this ?
My phone comes with Build 20121222.
Would like to just root and repartition to 2.5GB and external on SD. Can you advise how ?
Best regards,
Lim

Hope it helps.
