Since we don't have a forum specifically for the Sero 7 Pro, this thread can serve as a place to ask questions unrelated to the current ROM threads. I will link it in the Home Base Start/Here and Sero 7 Pro owners can ask general questions and I hope the community will respond.
So, ask away!
Ubuntu Touch
OK -- now that we have a thread for general questions, I'll go first.
Has anyone tried Ubuntu Touch on their Sero? There appears to be some very interesting features
I also have a question which I'd like to ask. In fact there's 2 questions...
1: Are there any devs working on ROMs for UK 32gb Hisense Sero 7 Pro?
2: Are those of us still using stock UK ROM likely to get any OTA updates from Hisense?
Thanks

I've been away for a while and just noticed that Dave is the only one with a new build. Has all of the other Devs for this tab givin up? Just a question. I still use mine everyday. Been using Dopa AOSP but since Dave has posted a CM11 M6 I might give that a go. Thanks everyone.

probably just reaching end of life. this tablet is starting to get old now, and people are probably moving on to newer things. with that being said, i hope there is still some interest. theres a tablet version of miui that just came out for the nexus 7 II, i don't know how popular it would be, but maybe it would not be too difficult to port it over. http://en.miui.com/thread-16879-1-1.html someone made a port for the original nexus 7, maybe something there might be of use since this tablet share a lot of similar hardware with the original nexus 7 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2700212

If MIUI is based on CyanogenMod I'll give porting it a shot- it won't be stable unless it's KitKat though.

i'm not quite sure what miui is based off of, but the nexus 7 port says "This is a port of MIUI V6 (kitkat) from the Nexus 7 2013 to our grouper. It is built on AOSPA 4.4.2"

Then it should work fine using dolorespark's AOSP trees I believe

Try a different cable- the one that came with my Sero started acting up and only charged in a certain position. Switching to a PS4 Micro USB cable worked flawlessly.

For some reason while using carbon rom my battery usage is weird. Not only does it seem to drain really fast but once I get to around 15% it just completely dies. It's like the 15% is a lie and it's really at 0%
davepmer,
After sticking to Carbon 0326 forever because it worked by far the best for my 4 Seros, I installed 0515 Omni on them as it appears to work great as well. 24 hours later I'm realizing that I have no sound whatsoever, and DSP Manager will open but when I try to play something in say, Apollo, I get a DSP Manager has closed error. I full wiped and cleaned every one of them before the install, and 3 are running TWRP and one Philz and doesn't seem to make any difference. Any chance you know an easy fix?
I had the same problem vette. I flashed twice and did full wipes every time. No sound from anything I tried. On the plus side, flashing back to carbon seems to have fixed my battery drain problems.

Only person I know who was was xboxexpert his root for the uk tablet worked the rom was dropped. Randomblame does offer to try with anyone who has a uk tablet to port taktik http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2536116
I have tried contacting hisense europe numerous times to no avail ebuyer no longer stock the tablet so i think we can safely assume the answer to question 2 is no.
TBH i sold mine and picked up a nexus 7 ill not be buying a cheap unsupported tablet ever again the extra money is worth the updates and support.
Thanks for the reply.
I'm still using the stock (but rooted) UK rom on mine and have to say it's still working fine for me. It's much better than the Asus Memopad 7 that we also have - streets ahead in fact.
Looks like I'll keep it as it is until it stops working or until something far far better comes out at a good (cheap!) price.

If you look here I'm about to start development of Ubuntu Touch for the Sero 7. The Sero also meets the minimum requirements for the high-end version of it, meaning you can connect a keyboard, mouse, and external HDD to the Sero so it can double as a portable Ubuntu desktop computer. Who's up for some portable Android development?

I've noticed that depending on what you have running at the time of charging, like background programs and screen brightness is more of a draw on the device than the charge it's receiving. I have used battery doctor with tremendous success. If it is not the cable I would try this program.

The good old Smiley, to make the reading happier:
I am looking for suggestions.
What could I use my Lapdock for, now that I made the switch to CyanogenMod?
Is there a good solution for making the VNC'ed ARM Ubuntu (look for Ubuntu Installer in the Play Store) work better with the touchpad? Should I sell it? Is there a solution to make remote control apps such as TeamViewer or Splashtop integrate with the Lapdock's keyboard and touchpad? Is there any way to make the device switch to Tablet mode without rebooting? That would be rather interesting to see. By the way, the CM9 ROM I am currently running has got Landscape HDMI working flawlessly, so that should not be an issue...
PS: Please do not ignore this thread. Any suggestions are welcome! (Use your common sense though)

I've struggled with the same question on my photon.. If there's working hdmi rotation on your CM, you can still use it for typing out documents,etc. I also used the mirror mode to watch movies on a larger(than phone) screen in bed.
But eventually I just decided to go back to a blur rom and use ubuntop (which is awesome) while waiting for official ICS and someone hopefully porting ubuntu 12.04 to webtop..

I don't understand why canonical hasn't leaked that awesome ubuntudroid system they showed off.. there isn't an easier way to get feedback especially since webtop has died and windows 8 is pushing hard into that whole 'blur the lines' market

Maybe they are waiting for the unified linux/android kernel 3.4 this would most certainly make it easier to port and updates trivial.

Currently, I use it for watching movies as well, and I am looking forward to pairing a Wii Remote and/or a DualShock® 3 to my Atrix™, so that I can play some games such as GTA III and Shadowgun (Max Payne *-*) on the big screen.
I was happy with Blur until the day I ran into that tempting CM9 thread. I did not know what smoothness and responsiveness really were. Blur was the smoothest I thought it could ever get... But I was wrong, and now I have to choose between fluidity and Webtop. :thumbdown:
I actually went back to Blur some months ago, but unfortunately, prolonged use of ICS can cause dependence. Believe it or not, I was pretty happy with Blur. Webtop was working flawlessly, I even had BackTrack installed, but then came the relapse: I could no longer resist to ICS. I am now back to CM9, and with it comes my dilemma...
I am looking for a way to use the Atrix™ as a more desktop-ish platform when docked (especially to the Lapdock). I believe the ideal would be Ubuntu through a local VNC client, or a remote desktop app, I just wish they would play nicer with the keyboard and touchpad...
Basically, something like a key mapper (easy-to-use, I am still unable to figure out WiiMoteController's key mapping scheme) for Lapdock's hardware. We could make a keyboard-powered Ouya!
What still concerns me though, is that games would not be optimized for it e.g. Minecraft PE, games where the camera angle for example, is controlled by dragging the screen, so it would have to be a really powerful, but easy-to-use key mapper, and since you can't have everything in life, I'm afraid I'm asking for much...

When the official Ubuntu for Android was announced, even though an Atrix 2 was used for the hands-on part, on the project's official hotsite... It was clearly an Atrix™ 4G standing there on the dock. The differences between our device's design and the Atrix 2's or the Defy's (Defy+'s) are not that obvious, but they are, indeed, noticeable.
You do know what that means, don't you? It means it is almost certain that our device will be on the first batch of officially supported devices!
I don't if the Atrix™ is still there, but if it's not, I can try to find the screenshot I took if you'd like.
I am so proud! :beer:

I have never thought I'd say this but, "Please don't get off-topic". I'd appreciate it if this gets settled in a new thread or via PM.
Anyway, you said "stock UbunTop", I could be wrong, but I think it's either stock or UbunTop, which is a mod born right here on our neighbor forum, Android Development.
If yours is really stock, I suggest you get BackTrack from the BackTop project, I don't it's got aircrack built-in, and I was unable to install it, so unless you're an experienced hacker, don't get too excited with BackTrack's features, but my point is: It is amazingly faster than Webtop, it seems lighter, I used to be able to run more than 3 different apps simultaneously...
If yours is really running UbunTop I'm afraid I cannot assist you, since webtop2sd never worked for me and BackTop and WebtopMOD were the only I could ever manage to get working on my device...

I can answer this. What he meant is that you should use Paranoid. Paranoid is a rom thats an hybrid of a phone an a tablet, in short words, you can activate tablet mode for some apps, while some other apps still run in phone-mode, for the ease of use.
What I actually meant was to give a name and a designation, which I did.
Google paranoid android rom and you get the website, the website has a much better explanation then I could or should have to provide.
But yes in short it can give you a tablet UI on lapdock.

I know that when I asked this question once I got this reply which actually was good advice. If you ask 10 people which ROM is best you will get ten different answers. You just need to do your research and pick the one that will give you what you need with the least amount of issues. What is good for someone else is not always good for you. I still use cm7. Doesn't mean that it is the best available, but it provides what I need. It is hard to decide what to use, just try them all until you find what is good for you.

Thanks, I usually try and do my research before asking a question, I've been flashing since the OG Droid but there's nothing solid for the NT as mentioned above by Vector. I'm aware of the few ROMs out with some issues. Getting 10 different answers will always give me an idea of where 10 different ROMs stand which will give me a better insight on them so I don't mind the different opinions and suggestions. The NT is my 8 year old daughter's and I want something stable enough so she won't get frustrated with it but I guess I'll flash something and hope for the best. Once again, thanks for the input.
The most stable ROM by far is celticwebsolutions cm 8&16 GB beta. I have flashed about every ROM available for nook tab. I have run this ROM for months now and even lasted ten days off the charger without a reboot or dead battery( ultra light use of course). Cm 9 and 10 are fun to play with' but are plagued with reboots due to 3.0 kernel issues' etc. Especially for an 8 year old' you don't want freezes and reboots requiring a hard reboot. I really love the cm10 ROMs, but even 1 or 2 freezes is too many for me for a heavy user such as myself. I keep trying them and always revert t cm 7 beta. You are not missing out on any apps sticking with cm7 over the newer builds. A slicker ui and advanced ecosystem are nice though. So nice, in fact I have moved onto a nexus 7 and now my 2.5 y/o son mainly uses my nook now to play angry birds and some others. He navigates around with ease' I would feel uncomfortable setting him up on cm10 as he would often have to come to me for a reset. For us adults' an slightly unstable ROM with extra bells and whistles is just fine. Half the fun for me is troubleshooting and trying new ones. I would go with the mentioned cm 7 and call it a day.

Firstly you need to remember to post any threads in the correct sections and a thread that starts with [Q] has no other place then Q&A.
The reason I've closed this thread is because best ROM threads aren't encouraged on the forum due to exactly what's been said already, you ask 10 people you get 10 different answers, it's too subjective and goes nowhere. The only way you'll know is by reading the development threads and also trying ROM's out for yourself. All best ROM threads get closed for these reasons and why you don't see active best ROM threads here.

As answered already many times on Ubuntu Q&A: No! Ubuntu bases on Android kernel (which is also based on Linux kernel), but has many different things, including Dalvik (correct me if I'm wrong please), so it won't run the android apps.

OK thanks that was really helpful. I figured android apps wouldn't work after reading more about it. Anyways the interface looks amazing in the video and they said it is really easy for developers to get their apps working on Ubuntu as well so once the final build is released im going to install it for sure. It would be awesome if we could dual boot it once its ready. My xperia play phone has a kernel for it that can multiboot GB,ICS, and jellybean thanks to cosmicdan. It'd be awesome if we could get that working on the nexus 10. I think I'll make a discussion thread so I don't hijack this thread and spam it, but first I'll search to make sure there already isn't one

Its sad that they've dropped support for our device
Hello. Prompt, please, can I port android 4.4 (in this case CyanogenMod 11) in this manual ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/general/guide-cm11-how-to-build-cyanogenmod-11-t2515305 )? Is it even possible to port it, at least 4.0. Sorry for my bad English.
Can anyone try it?
No drivers. It is completely infeasible. Stop asking.
bad news

This device would be amazing with kitkat on it.
I wish.
The HP touchpad just got CM11 and it uses the same snapdragon s3 APQ8060 as the jetstream. Maybe its possible to port that?

i'll tell show_p.
the problem is the HTC drivers, which cannot be ported from any other device. maybe there's something in the HP.

As silly as it may sound. I literally now have no use for my jetstream as I am fully fed up of the OS it has. I have it rooted and CWM 6.0 installed on it and flashed BMW Boy rom on it. At this point, I am willing to work with developers to come up with a custom rom for it. I will be more than happy to test it on my device if they need me to. Plus, I can provide any information needed about this device. I am getting into developing, so perhaps Jetstream could be used as an ultimate sacrifice lol.
Just rooted SGH-I317M (NOTE II-Rogers) and installed CM 11 Nightly on it. I refuse to go back to stock. Im loving my phone so much more.:good:
can we?
Is it possible to build the drivers from scratch? Even if it is not for free we can all pitch in and pay a developer. Hopefully HTC can help despite our many failed efforts. I am willing to pay to get this device up to date, it feels to wrong to let something so full of potential go to waste. Even today it still looks better than most tablets available. I love my jetstream !

Go to www.codeaurora.org and find the Android for MSM project. I tried to backport some of the code from that project into Hive kernel.

Will do! Just talked to an HTC rep. She apologized for the lack of support and sent a ticket of the conversation to HTC in hopes of assistance. She is even going to try to talk to her higher ups and hope that they are generous! My hopes are not that high but i was really glad to talk to someone who was concerned with the matter. She could not even believe what i was telling her ( she never used honeycomb so i am guessing she was surprised with what we have to go through.) I hope 2014 will be different for the Jetstream. O and i never thanked you for your hard work so ill take the time now. Thank you for your assistance, it means a lot to me and the other people with the jetstream here at xda! Great work and an awesome rom!

Granted, I'm "late" to the Nexus 6P game, and we have tons of ROMs to choose from. I like to build ROMs too, so, what are we missing? If there's a firmware out there, that you'd like to have on your device, by all means: Post In this Thread
Please, don't ask me to "add/remove features" on an existing project, I'm not going to do "something else" with other peoples work, just ain't right...

I feel you, when I got the nexus 6p a year back I felt out if the game.
I'm on mobile right now (so it's a bit harder to check but I wonder if we have a sailfishOS or Ubuntu , KDE (or plasma mobile they are calling it)
If I think of anymore I'll. Let you know

Sailfish OS seems a step in the wrong direction to me. After a little reading, it runs on top of CyanogenMod (I don't mean Lineage), for ported devices. I will look into KDE (Plasma Mobile) later today, need to go to work now...

+1 !
What we miss is a truly unique rom.
All of them differ just in de amount of features they have. What would be awesome would be a rom that not only is different, but also looks different.

Yes most of those ROM ports run off cm cause of its compatibility with so many devices, that doesn't make it a step in the wrong direction though as it's a completely different OS with repos required from cm that can probably be replaced with their updated lineage fork. Even if not I guarantee people would still use it if it was 7.0 as it's totally new os for people to play with

CM12 is latest "stable", some folks seem to be kinda working on CM13, but it's still using a lot of CM12 stuff (looking at Github, anyway). Again, this is just for porting to "New" devices. It's been a few months since any repos were updated...
From what I gathered on the KDE site, you need to run MutliROM and get Ubuntu Touch working. Then you can try to port Plasma Mobile, kinda like using the KDE Desktop on your Ubuntu install with a PC. I haven't even looked at Ubuntu Touch yet, lol.
I'll keep doing research, anyone that wants to chip in, feel free :good:
Well I was working on a project long time ago, was not for this device, it was a port for the "Download Booster", when it was cool, and then I failed to do so.
If you can port it to a rom that would be great IMO

i hear you, i know none of them run off the latest android sources i was just giving suggestions off the top of my head of things i feel people would be interested in seeing for the device.
hopefully you end up finding the right thing for you

As stated, I'll keep researching, right now, I'm really enjoying ScrewdAOSP ROM on my 6P
Must be faster.
The "quick send to" feature doesn't work well. I would like to quit Twitter from there and telegram etc don't show the chats towards you send more files, just the last ones that received messages.
Configuration tool of RR is a must have. No ROM acceptable without that.

You don't really need to port Ubuntu Touch per se to get a Plasma Mobile port working. Just getting an Ubuntu 16.04 rootfs working should suffice for a base to build on. Additionally, porting Halium components should be enough to get the ball rolling.
I was working on a port of PM with someone else a couple of months ago until Halium started and more stuff started piling up for me. If you want to have some of the files we worked on, PM me.
EDIT: I have a thread about porting non-Android OSes to the Nexus 6P if it piques your interest.
