--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you have any problem in using CM7/MIUI, before question, you may take a look at this thread.
Im not a DEV, so any tutorial and help is very welcomed. If someone can develop for it, that would be very thankful !
Any defy CM7 based/cooked/moded ROM include MIUI can use this method to boot.
Thanks to dangpzanco and r2beta0 for their great effort. And walter79 for the great idea.

This is my nandroid backup with some fix but not all, you could choose one or not.
[Recommend!]1. Based on MIUI 1.8.12 moded by Wajk, download: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=1RF2A3JC
2. Based on a cooked CM7 ROM(thanks to VIPFXY): http://www.megaupload.com/?d=NOWVXJAK
3. Based on cm7-110813-2132-NIGHTLY-Jordan.zip http://www.megaupload.com/?d=17RERZSM
Patch for CM7/MIUI ( It should work on all defy CM7/MIUI based/cooked/moded ROM ):
This patch fix the following：
1.GSM problem, you may still need to use baseband switcher to change your baseband (If you still have no signal, take a look at this,theoretically it 100% works! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182050 )
Thanks to i7ovehope and dangpzanco
2.Keyboard mapping issue ( except ALT-LOCK, however you can double press ALT instead ) Thanks to 19900828xy
3.fix CWM issues related to /data Thanks to r2beta0
4.When you are charing, you will have your LED turn yellow to tell you, instead of nothing (Charger light still not work)
5. Gravity-sensor/light-sensor are working again Thanks to walter79 and dangpzanco
6. GPS should works
7. compass should works
And the patch does NOT include the following fix, you will need to do it yourself：
[Both CM7 and MIUI]0. Keyboard backlight fix ( Thanks to r2beta0 for fixing. Thanks to nanox_06 from grupoandroid.com. Thanks to layoroa and Motodoido and julianlatasa for telling me ):
Make sure you have apply fix_for_cm7_miui.zip from my attachment ! AND, if you have tried the earlier method （replacing framework-res.apk ), you SHOULD restore the original apk before trying this method !
[CM7]open setting>CM setting>Displayer Setting>(on)Automatic brightness>Advance mode>(on) custom>Edit other levels...
[MIUI]open setting>Displayer Setting>(on)Automatic brightness>Advance mode>(on) custom>Edit other levels...
[Wajk/r2beta0`s MIUI]r2beta0 has uploaded a moded framework-res.apk in #203, you can download it from there and replace the one under /system/framework/ . Don`t forget to set the permission to rw-r--r--. Reboot and Done !
then you will see a mass of squares. Find keyboard row and change the first 2 value from 0 to 255. Save setting. OK, done! Pull out your keyboard and you will find backlight work again.(Be sure you are in dark environment)
Tips: After turning off automatic brightness, your backlight will still work.

1. camera upside down ( Thanks to walter79 )
comment the line:
ro.media.capture.flip=horizontalandvertical
in /system/build.prop, make sure it is
#ro.media.capture.flip=horizontalandvertical
2. The camera noise after system booting, which exist in MIUI moded by Wajk
freeze talk.apk under /system/app
if you still need to use gtalk, try to install it from apk (not test if this will bring back the noise )
3. Stock soft-keyboard too small
Use 3rd-party keyboard app to replace it
4. Phone version shows MB525
Edit the line:
ro.product.model=MB525
in /system/build.prop to
ro.product.model=A953 //or anything you want
5. The default baseband of my nandroid backup is CH2.6.0/2.5.0
If you have no signal, please use baseband switcher to change to a suitable one or take a look at this (theoretically 100% works ) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182050
6. If you think your flash light is a little dim compared to before. (Thanks to walter79 and below is what he said )
Be careful with that. Chinese pepole killed it with fixed-sbf for Europe Defy and in past europe people killed led with china fixed-sbf. It is related to devtree. But if your flashlight works more than 2x then you can edit your build.prop and del this:
- ro.media.capture.flashIntensity=41
- ro.media.capture.torchIntensity=25
7. SD card can NOT be mounted in recovery
In recovery, open advance, select start adbd and then kill adbd. Go back to try, and you should find your sd card has been mounted correctly. Next time if the issue appears again, just re-do it again.
8. If you have USB connection problem. Thanks to r2beta0
[MIUI] Please go to #211 for framework-res.apk. Replace the one under /system/framework/ with it.
[CM7] This is the manual solution r2beta0 post in #213
You must download apk_manager and use it to decompile framework-res.apk. Then you edit bools.xml that is inside res/values folder. The variable you must change is called config_enableUsbModeSelection, it is a user friendly name. Change from false to true. Then you use apk_manager to recompile it but don't sign. Set compression to zero.
The known issues which can NOT be solved till now:
1.Video hardware decoding is dead mostly, only .mp4 survival (need someone to fix that soon!)
[DEV] I upload these 2 patch which is used to port rmvb/mkv HW Decoding to froyo. It should help with porting HW to CM7/MIUI.

[Hotfile] http://hotfile.com/dl/127190044/59fde10/milestone2_RmvbMKV.7z.html
2.ALT-LOCK not working ( double press ALT instead )
3.USB mass storage mode issue ( except MIUI moded by Wajk )
You will find that you can NOT mount your SD card to PC.
Softwate Solution[Recommend]: Install Protocol-X Dual Mount SD Widget, you can download it from Android Market.
Manual Solution: Every time you connect to PC. Make sure connection manager appears in your notification bar, if not, enable/disable USB debug. Once it shows, first choose NONE, and then choose USB mass storage. By all this, you will see your SD card mounted in PC.
4. Charger light still not work
Seems lights.jordan.so under /system/lib/hw is related to it in some way. I replace it with the one from new leaked GB, then the LED became the charger light
Tutorial:
1. reboot to CWM and then restore nandroid backup (if you want to flash defy_cm7/miui.zip, make sure your CWM is 3.0+)
2. enable bootloader mode, flash fixed sbf via RSD ( fixed sbf is in firmware.7z )
3. Its recommend to make double wipes in stock recovery
4. reboot
5. CM7/Miui running.

Have you tried all the baseband fixes we have? chinese fix, defy baseband changer, milestone 2 baseband app...
Anyway, if none of them work, maybe baseband needs to be adapted to cm7.

The biggest porblem: I cannot connect my SD card to PC !
Maybe you can push the files via ADB to your SDCard/Internal memory?
U should get a microSD usb reader. I have one, maybe I could test stuff out for u.
Or you can use a sd card reader
Lets wait for experienced people, I think sd is not working just because it behaves differently than defy storage, it wont be hard to fix it.
I have no minisdcard reader and now time here is 0:30 am, so it`s impossible to buy one.

The U0 "u-boot-nand.bin" in the archive "4325" is U-Boot 2009.08-svn733 (Jun 29 2011 - 14:11:58).

I suggest you load barsuk_CWMRecovery first, its down in the 2nd post..and do the usual wipes that you should do before flashing a rom..
Just a quick note, hopefully will save others some time too..
I think if you just went ahead and flashed the zip from the sdcard..
and now got 'android' loading with blinking cursor and no further..
For the hell of it, I did the same and got the same result..
The download is not a flash-able zip straight from the sdcard..
read further down for instructions
Then I went ahead and used the USB method..
[GUIDE] :: SuperPad/FlyTouch2/WWE10 Android 2.2 Froyo USB Flashing ::
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074251
No drama.. flashed and working fine.. just no camera at the moment.. I might play with some of the uboot's to see if it makes a difference.. but for now if you want your pad back.. I suggest go the USB route..
if you need a cable.. I use the same cable that comes with the usb cooling fans,
that power the cooling boards that people use under laptops.. Make sure you load the drivers or your computer will not recognize the pad.
Follow SmaRkieS thread and you should be fine..
If you cant burn the main android image using USB method.
You can try the MicroSD card method, but this is only applicable if your tablet will display the right uboot versions under the InfoTMIC start up logo.
@dyfren What does file zSYS.img?
I would say this is recovery.. I flashed it into this section..
hope this helps..
Will play over the weekend with it..
but at this stage running real smooth..

i had a go following the guide and it was fine until i got to flashing the actual Android image, (number 19 in the Guide). PC does its bit, then tablet comes up with "flashing/updating linux" (first bit tablet does) or something like that but the progress bar always stays empty, left it for 10-15 mins and still hadnt moved. tried the version in the guide and the version here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1067746
also tried SD card method, comes up with "Updating image hRamdisk" and a dead progress bar.
Which version of Android did you use at step 19?
Thanks for your help so far, seems to be getting there

Yes.. I recommend it.. makes it feel just that bit more snappy..
Once I get time this weekend will try the root methods..then load in the V6 scripts and see how it goes..
sent from yet another MikG HTC Evo
which u-boot are you using?
mines still getting stuck at "Updating image linux-2.6.32.9"
MS
mine is Uboot - V 0.6.1.2(587)
Try the usual.. plug unplug and reboot computer..
as IUW can be a bit painful..
anybody test this FW ? i wanna try that new 4325 .

Working root using universal androot 1.6.2beta5
@hunterx: 4325 is working very fast. IT won't shutdown when in standby but drains battery faster.
Someone can explain how to modify the firmware to support the 3G _Barsuk_ as he had done?
Thanks for the new ROM, just installed USB method, works fine.
Generaly looks very "snappy" for a Pad with only 256mb of RAM.
Camera "force closes"; Youtube works fine, and Wifi also.
I'll keep posting as long as i play with it.
Sheers
anyone got USB1 or USB2 readable?
when I plug them in I am getting "preparing memory device" then "memory device ready for remove"
To me, this is saying that it see's it.. but for some reason is calling to unmount it straight away..
I would say it is fixable as we had a similar problem on other Roms.. its just setting up the right command..
I have loaded a mix of drivers in to the system/lib/modules...but no success..
Then tried to use terminal but not getting access in to the root..
I kinda need to learn a few more commands in terminal..
(Back to DOS days..)
is there a cheat sheet around for the basic commands?
was playing with the aps2sd.. got the sdcard formatted with a sd2ext
But its a no go at the moment.. as even with TB backup
This Rom is not mounting into it..
As said before, I can't even get script manager to load up so can't load V6 scripts..
Maybe someone will have better luck then me..

question about the flash
Last time I flashed is a while ago so dont know if im doing things right.
So ive got a few questions before I will flash
On startup my pad shows 0.6.1.2. (587) at the right bottom
So can I skip the uboot part of the SMarkies guide?
The folder of 4325 contains more files than mentioned in the guide if i'm correct I only have to use : Kernal, user, system and ramdisk? Please confirm?
Do i have to use ramdisk in 4325 folder or the one mentioned in the Smarkies guide?
Your advice please have to use my pad on christmastrip for my kids so I cant risk to brick it
It's not a problem with this Rom, I also faced the same with previous versions and stock Rom, any of you guys face accelerometer axels inverted when playing games like Raging Thunder or Labyrinth? When bending down turns right and bending up turns left.
Strange, it happens with all games and still can’t find a solution.
Any suggestions are welcome.

Try this patched lib.
View attachment libreference_ril.Universal.zip
Is new solution for 3g. It is much easier. Who want may create update.zip for CWM.
Just replace original lib and set permissions to 644 (owner root).
EDIT
Some patched binaries and libs: View attachment patched_binaries.zip
Include wpa_supplicant with ad-hoc (not tested), vold with ntfs support (need to load kernel module first), ril libs with disabled check for modem model (for gsm only, not for cdma).

Flash all the files as per no:18 of the guide.. but use the ramdisk that comes with this package - dont use sMarkies at this stage - I flashed it to see if any difference but it only was for reading of the USBports.. the one with this package is stable enough

If you follow the guide, you should be right.
as usually people only brick on the U-boot flashing.
just take your time.
make sure you got the right files setup in IUW before you boot the pad..
then...boot-connect-flash...
best rom so far 4325
I am posting from this right now.
problems:
Wifi not starting on boot
Rotation/accelo messed up. Calibration makes it worse
Cell standby - fixed by renaming phone.apk
Market included but is missing skype and others
Camera working with 612 587 uboot
Anyone have advice on overclocking?
Thanks for the rom it is bad-ass.
PLEASE BE ADVISED: THE AUTHOR OF THIS POST NO LONGER PROVIDES SUPPORT FOR THIS THREAD. HOWEVER YOU ARE MORE THAN WELCOMED TO CONTINUE USING THE FILES AND METHODS AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION. GOOD LUCK!!
INTRO: For all those searching the internet trying to find answers as to how to gain root on your Nextbook8 Premium and also gain access to the wonderful android market from which we were greatly deprived (as is the case with many low-priced tablets these days), the wait is over thanks to a certain someone who goes by the name of DEVMONKEY. Of course I take absolutely NO CREDIT for this and only took the liberty to re-write it thus adding a little more detail to the process. Enjoy!!!
DISCLAIMER***I HAVE NOT TESTED THIS PARTICULAR ROM WITH MY N8 WHEN I HAD IT BUT AS THE PROCEDURE TO FLASH IS STILL THE SAME ALL SHOULD GO WELL. HOWEVER, I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT MAY OR MAY NOT HAPPEN IF YOU USE THIS AND DAMAGE YOUR DEVICE. PLEASE FOLLOW ALL STEPS CAREFULLY***
[HOW TO] Root and install Market on your Nextbook8 Premium
UPDATE: This is post has been updated with a new rom to replace old one. Method of flashing is still the same so no worries. All those who want to upgrade to this rom from the one I previously posted in this guide when I first wrote it can just repeat the steps over again with the new rom package.
This rom is based on Samhain's release: SamDroid v1.13
Modifications (mostly GUI / cosmetic tweaks):
1.) cifs.ko / slow-work.ko / nls_utf8.ko are in /system/lib/modules and can be loaded using Mount Manager app from the market. This will let you mount CIFS/SMB shares to the device.
2.) Honeycomb-like launcher and updated GUI icons. (you can change it to any Launcher you want)
A couple of things to note once you have installed the rom:
- It starts up in Italian, so open Android settings "Impostazioni" and go to the "Lingua e tastiera" setting, and change the "Seleziona lingua" to your preffered language.
- I've put a few wallpapers in /system/media that you can set full screen by going into Live Wallpapers and using the "Multipicture Live Wallpaper" set them to the screen.
- There are a few things (widgets) on the homescreen that don't work after initial boot, just remove them and add back whatever you want to the homescreen.
- Sleep of death issues seem to be fixed, and the camera works (Camera app works, but Skype and Fring don't work yet...).
- You can also grab Adobe Flash 11 from the market and it'll work correctly.
- This release boots MUCH faster, and is even more responsive than before.
- There is a cell standby issue that drains the battery more in theory so if you feel like that is happening with you just delete the Phone.apk and TelephonyProvider.apk from /system/app. You can use ADB or you can use Root Explorer to do so. You will likely have to force a reboot because you'll start getting repetitive force closes once you do so, but it won't hurt anything. Once you reboot, all is well.
VERY IMPORTANT: After installing custom roms that also flash a custom recovery your N8 may reboot into the custom recovery. If this happens hit reboot system and only reboot system.
Download new rom from HERE and extract (using winRAR preferably) to your desktop or anywhere you choose. Location doesn't really matter for this guide to work.
NOTE: If you have anything you care about (like apps, notes etc.) on your N8 make sure you back it up now.
Step 1: Turn your N8 off.
Step 2: Press both Volume buttons down and plug the USB cord into the N8.
NOTE: On your screen you should see a bubble pop up in the lower-right corner saying "Installing drivers". Most likely it will say it can't find the drivers. This is normal. Continue following the steps to install the missing drivers.
Step 3: Open the Device manager by typing mmc devmgmt.msc into your "Run" box on XP or search box in start menu on Windows 7 and hitting enter (you can also find Device Manager in your Control Panel options in Windows 7).
Step 4: With your N8 still in an off state and plugged in via USB you should see a yellow exclamation symbol somewhere next to "Unknown Device" in the list of devices in the Device Manager. Right click on it and select "Update driver software".
Step 5: Now it will prompt you to choose how you want to search for it. Select "Browse my computer for driver software" and it will bring up a window for you to navigate manually to the driver location which is in the "drivers" sub-folder in the NEXTBOOK8ROOT folder. Select which ever system you have (32bit or 64bit) and then hit "OK". You might go thru one or two prompts before it actually installs. Just "OK" everything and you should be fine.
Step 6: Once the drivers are installed you are ready to flash. Go into the root of the NEXTBOOK8ROOT folder and select RK29update.exe (right-click for Win7 users and Run as Admin).
Step 7: Now you should be at the interface of the program and at the bottom in bold words it should say "FOUND RKAndroid rock usb" (if it doesn't then it mean the drivers probably weren't installed correctly). This part is VERY IMPORTANT!! Make sure all of the boxes on the left are checked (should look like the pic below). The one at top is the one usually missing a check and would need to be checked by you.

Step 8: Once all boxes on the left are checked you are going to click on "EraseIDB" at the bottom and let it complete. Once that finishes click on "Run" and you will see a series of commands running in the right window pane (see pics below). Give it some time as it will probably take a few minutes. When it's done it should look like the second pic below.
Once the process is finished your NEXTBOOK should reboot into the recovery and reflash the OS. Congratulations!!! You now have an affordable rooted tablet with access to the Android Market!!

Thanks! worked great.
I signed up, so i can say thank you. this worked perfectly.. i was skeptical and scared i'd ruin this tablet, as i got it as a gift, and was obviously disappointed to see no market on it, but this worked. thank you.
How about Nextbook Premium 7?
Thank you!
This worked great, I was able to get the android market installed and working.
Android version?
What version of Android does this install?
Cheers, Greg.
It's work, your are wonderful,thank you Sunnyboy167
Great job! Good to have root and Market working. But anyone else get FC when opening Camera app?
Perfect! I have rooted many Android devices and this is one of the easiest ones. Just read the directions carefully and you'll do fine.
Hopefully someone will release an ICS update for this device soon..after using my Galaxy Nexus, Gingerbread seems so...obsolete.
I'm glad you enjoyed this info just as much as i did
To everyone YOU ARE WELCOME but please....the best way to thank me is by hitting the thank button at the bottom right of my post. Thanks!
@xxProphecyxx - here is a link for the nextbook7 http://gunnersbarn.wordpress.com/2011/11/04/how-to-install-android-market-to-nextbook-premium-7/ I don't see any root method listed on the site but im sure there is one out there if you want to root it too. Or you can even take a chance if youre brave and use a one click root based on the android version you have.
@ghi07 - All this method does is re-install the OS (which is Gingerbread to answer your question) with market and superuser.
@dalerious - I'm sorry but I don't have a Nextbook anymore but if I did I would definitely try my best to help you. Try doing the entire process over and see if that works. Good luck!
THANK YOU!!!!
I was about to throw this tablet out the window!!! Followed the instructions and it works perfectly!!!! Thanks SO SO much!!!
Thanks to you I had a very Merry Christmas haha thank button has been pushed repeatedly!

Dear all,
First of all, I do not wish to take any credit for this ROM, I am just sharing it for the community as I do think it is a very nice addition to the collection and may help and progress development for other ROMs.

Yeah, it really is. I must say that this is the best ROM so far. I do have one major issue where I cannot select an APN and therefore have no 3G / 2G connection. Needless to say, this is a huge issue which may render the ROM to be unusable for me... Let me know what you guys experience if there's still some people willing to install new ROMs on their device
Do you mean there is no way to set the APN? I'm seriously considering flashing this ROM, but this APN issue that you mentioned is holding me back...

When you make sure you create a backup you can check and always restore the backup. The APN issue might also be related to my carrier or SIM card.
Please note that I definitely had to format /data (ie. factory defaults) because it will not work with the data of another rom. Also make sure to make an extra backup of your backup onto your system, just to be sure - in my case it has created corrupt files many times (ie. 0 kb)...
Good luck!

Hi all,
I checked today and the external SD is available, but not under /mnt/external_sd but under /mnt/sdcard/external_sd. Not sure why it is in a subfolder, but see below some screenprints to demonstrate this. If anyone knows how to solve something like this, let me know
Regards,
Nika.
Well, that was easy, changed the vold.fstab and build.prop files and zipped it. Works fine when installed using cwm recovery. /mnt/external_sd is now the correct external sdcard
You can download the new version here:
http://www.multiupload.at/8WAHWX3L4S
While searching for a solution to fix my APN problem, I also changed the default language into English. APN is still an issue, so if someone knows what can cause APNs not to list in MIUI ROMs I'd love to know
Here's the download for the English version of this ROM (including the external storage fix ):
http://www.mediafire.com/?npdyofr2uhn3but
Be interesting to see if this will flash to my device, seeing as none of the other custom ROMs have ever done so...
EDIT: Well, it installed OK and runs, but like you, I have no APN's and setting them up manually doesn't seem to work. Also, a fair number of FC's, especially when trying to search networks...
EDIT2: This appears relevant to the APN problem: http://www.modaco.com/topic/351027-cannot-add-apn-with-both-cyanogen-and-miui/

I've not had any FC's - did you Factory Reset / wipe cache etc?
For APN, I'll see whether I have time to test this week. My device is getting buggier by the day, sdcard is not working anymore and has random reboots, so I may need to take it apart again. sdcard is quite a problem as that is impossible to reach without spare-parts did you see the "take device apart" device on the russian forum? quite cool

I needed internet, so for now, I've flashed back to my previous ROM. TBH, I'm not a fan of MIUI, but at least the bloody thing installed!
Oh, what I wouldn't give for ICS or better, JB, on our Smarts....
Yeah ICS would totally rock on the Smart ! too bad Vache broke his, he only needed to fix 3G on CM9. Well "only" may not be the word. Thepasto is using Vache's source to get CM9 on the Liquid MT and they weren't able to get 3G working so far.

I really wish more devs would pick up Acer devices... I'd do it myself, but with a full time programming job and a family, I just don't have the time to learn the intricacies of ROM building.

Agree, but I must say, that MIUI build is half not as bad as I expected! It really is good, definitely better than stock (other than the APNs not working for some SIMs - note the Russians do not seem to have any issue with it)...

Hi all,
Anyone interested in TeamWin Recovery Project (TWRP)? I've build an initial test version:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1882747
To figure out how to mount the internal sdcard, can someone run the following commands on their device?
Code:
adb shell
su
cat /proc/mounts
cat /proc/emmc
ls -lR /dev/block | busybox egrep -i "rec|sos"

Hi KR,
It can be done from both terminal on the phone or PC. Did you root your device? You should be doing to following when doing it on the PC (easiest):
1. Root your device, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17569226
2. With rooting you also install drivers for adb, so that's ok
3. Connect your device with USB
4. Open a Command Prompt
5. Run "adb shell" (adb.exe is also available in the files for the recovery)
5. Type the following commands:
Code:
adb shell
su
cat /proc/mounts
cat /proc/emmc
ls -lR /dev/block | busybox egrep -i "rec|sos"
After each command you can copy/paste the results. Wrap the results between CODE tags when pasting it here or use stuff like http://pastebin.com/ and return the results
Thanks!

Nika.

Hi, with this ROM I can't even connect to my WiFi, the message "obtaining IP address" is shown until the phone decides to avoid the connection because of poor connection.
I never had any issues with connecting to WiFi with any of my Android phones and this ROM is the first one that made things even worse in that category.
I have flashed back the original stock rom with the 2013.09.19 date and the WiFi immediately worked and I got connected with the maximum 135mbps that is possible where I use the phone (two concrete walls in between). So I assume that something went wrong with the WiFi in your ROM?
I had the same problem but..
Flash the rom with flashtool
Boot one time
After firtst boot flash the rom with the cwm verion
And ready to go and works fine wifi connect again
Gr Fred
Great ROM!! I'm using it for a month and only missing some app working as S-note (the app opens but not painting).
Have you think to develop and AOSP ROM for our phones? That would be great also... Our phone will looks as the S4 Google edition...
Not wanting to bother you, just wondering if you have planned to update or develop a new ROM...
Thanks again for such a good job!

Screen rotation:
A problem, and not only mine, is the screen rotation

** Latest TWRP (2.8.6.x or above) is required.

Guess might be your tab............works for me. just perform a wipe, reboot the back into recovery and wipe once more.
Install rom, wipe and install rom again.
Reboot and see if it works for you. (can flash gapps later and super su if u need)
Can't access download link
Its weird! AFH says I dont have access to file, Dev-Host just direct me to their homepage, and mirror link is in chinese so I dont have any idea what buttons to hit. Is it just me? Anyone here who can guide me how to download the file?

Edit 1:
Downloading now! Using google chrome I was able to translate mirror link page to English.
Edit 2:
Successfully flash the Rom via TWRP 2.8.6.0
As mentioned in the OP
- quicksettings pulldown can only be pulled once.
- adjusting brightness slider do nothing
- torch is working
- system apps seems to load faster than cm12.
One thing that caught up my attention is that simcard is not recognized. Have to goto settings/about tablet and found out that baseband version is unknown. Shame cause I really think this rom is more fluid compare to cm12.
I was unable to test user's app due to simcard unavailability, hence 3G as well, as I heavily dependent on it.
Also noticed that 1st & 2nd boot is ok but on 3rd boot is only showing blank screen ( omni bootlogo not showing ) have to longpress power button a couple of times until omni bootscreen appears.. P6200 user here.
Thanks again to this ROM, pretty much stable , no soft reboots. Battery is good, Minor issues i could see.
Video playback is still an issue i believe, even in YouTube.
Thanks again
If this rom could see the daylight I will really love it. It's much better than cm12 . Aside the baseband issue in p6200 really would have preferred this .
Sent from my GT-P6200 using xda Forums PRO
Have just installed latest version 20150518. Installation process without any problem. System is running stable.:good:
But SIM-card is not found. Tried several times.
It's no problem with CM12.1 rom. So I'm back to CM12.1.

Well I guess I'll just have to wait for the next release. I'm sure @daniel_hk would fix this in future updates.

I don't have problem showing the baseband with or without a sim card. Don't know why some p6200 can't. It's the same modem chip and I'm using the same lib for both too.
Clean flash, Wait for a few minutes, etc.
Can anyone confirm that?
If really can't, in a terminal emulator type:
su (already rooted of course)
rild
see if any error message
here is the result:
WARNING: linker: libsec-ril.so has text relocations. This is wasting memory and prevents security hardening. Please fix.
rm: /data/misc/radio/dlink: permission denied
it is also showing invalid IMEI and unknown baseband version.

The first one is just a warning because of the only old blob we have.
The second line means the daemon is not start. I'll look into it but I need someone with a p6200 to test for me.

I think I found the reason. There is a file missing. View attachment libsecril-client.zip
unzip the above zip will get the file libsecril-client.so. Copy the file to /system/lib with a root browser (eg. ES FileExplorer) will do.
Hoping it work for t869 too. t869 owners are welcome to test too.
Good luck!
PS. Will include it in the next build

Was about to try that and alert you. Compared the lib folder for cm12.1 to that of omni and Realized the same missing libsecril-client.so and a couple of others. Looks like you got to it first. Anyway thinking of creating a flashable package for it. [emoji4] [emoji4] [emoji4]
OTG -Wifi???
@daniel_hk This may be stupid but i have to ask u.Does this kernel support USB Wifi with OTG?
Tried the lib files provided and a couple of others from cm12.1...................same old. Installed CM12.1 again and tried the rild check and got the same error as mentioned by PugeAko , though baseband is working with that rom.
Will be pulling the lib from stock MF1 rom for our dear p6200 soon, to see what comes of it.
Will post my findings soon.
Edit:
Checked radio directory in cm12.1 vrs OMni and some files are missing in Omni. Pulled that from cm12.1 but this constant black screen booting of Omni is making me frustrated at the moment. Too much black screen. Trying to see if I can get a boot.
Edit2:
Giving up. Don't know what it is but cannot endure this constant black screen any longer and time is not a luxury that I can afford now, its preventing me from helping figure out how to fix this baseband issue. Going back to the buggy cm12.1 rom. This rom is promising though.

Each USB Wifi probably have different chips which requires drives supplied by the manufacture. For it to work, it requires HAL drivers/firmwares too. Normally there is a CD or place to download. Window might have some driver for a few chips. Linux (Android) would be another story.
Normally, a kernel would only have the drivers for the on board chips.

cm12.1 is probably the wrong place to try. Omin for p6800 would be the wiser choice.
Anyway, I will try to get it work on the next build.
