[CFW] GingerLF EVO - Custom GingerBread Android 2.3 for MID1024

[Pickupman66]

On the 1125? No you can't run evo. You have different processor. You risk bricking your tablet if you do. Also I was referring to the mid1024-4g models. They shipped with froyo and that is all that had been released.

Good day. Has anyone tried to play a 720p video? Has anyone have a problem of laggy playback? I tried different players from the Market like Vplayer, MX Video Player, Diceplayer, and others but all of them lag. I tried both software and hardware decoding and both lags. I also tried changing the HDMI settings in the Settings>Display to 720p, but the playback still lags. I even tried changing the LCD resolution to a lower value. Anyone knows how? Thanks.

MX is my player of choice. I can play HD avi's over my LAN using esfile explorer, no lag at all.

^^ Really? What settings are you using? Mine skips and lags with MX no matter what I do.

Battery drain - check your "WiFi Sleep policy" (type Menu on WiFi Settings and choose advanced, or download WiFi Buddy), set it to "Never when charging" (or something like that), or use Airplane mode when not using it. Setting it to Never will keep you connected all the time, but battery will drain faster, of course.

HD Video - if you have tried SW decoding and it still lags, probably your SD (or the source of the video ) is too slow or the video was encoded with a bitrate value that's too high.

MID1125 - you can only install V1.5 EVO on MID1024 tablets with the 1024n board. Don't try to install it on any other tablet model/brand.

Factory 2.3 - AFAIK all MID1024-4GB tablets that are being sold in emergent markets like Brasil or Philippines were upgraded by the seller using GingerLF. There is no official 2.3 for this model. European clones like MPMan may have 2.3 pre-installed tho.

I just registered to thank LFOM for this wonderful gift. I was set to sell 1024 because it was frustrating to use until i've upgraded to the new firmware. It took me about 3 months to upgrade because I cant verify the board version I'm using. Finally a pleasant surprise to be able to use efficient tablet ie faster and works all the time. Good work LFOM!

 

[lfom]

Thanks! Glad it worked for you!

This CFW won't work in 8024 right ?

No, it will brick any other model unless one chanes many files, including u-boot. If you don't know what you're doing I suggest that you don't try to modify this one, and use a ROM made for 8024 instead.

Since I reinstalled I haven't had any issues. The only thing I have noticed is with the HDMI my settings don;t save. When I set to 720P, enable HDMI audio on, it will all go back to the default settings at 180P, HDMI audio off. I have played around with other settings and these are the only ones that do that so far.

You mean it goes back after a restart? If yes, I think it's by design. Other than this, I don't remember any issues when changing HMDI settings.

i think I read this somewhere in this thread or in another one....but is there a possibility, even a remote possibility that our MID1024 can utilize our 3G dongles to enable voice and SMS??? much like when we use our 3G Dongles in our PC's..??

 

[lfom]

SMS, maybe. You will probably need to install an app that supports this tho, since it won't be built-in. I've never seen anyone using a 3G dongle on a computer for voice unles it's over Internetp (VoIP, Skype, etc).

I've installed Handcent on my 1024, it installed properly. I was also surprised it was able to locate my contacts (I am not sure how) if it got it from my SIM via the 3G dongle or from my Google account. When I tried to send SMS, it just keeps saying "Sending"....the app does work but it cant seem to send SMS. Maybe I am a wishful thinker...but just maybe SMS might work.....
