IQ Universal root patch for IQ... - Page 3

Icewyng · 11-07-2011, 03:31 PM

Ahhh... ok. I see what you mean. I was wondering since I know there was a driver that was helping with getting better battery life. I was wondering if that was it.

2.0 is SDK5, yes. Actually, I think, from what I can see, they did some kind of hybrid but it is not all 2.1... so, technically, it is still 2.0.

Still working on the repack. I want to get the right way to make it easy to flash the ROM.

Icewyng · 11-07-2011, 08:40 PM

Quick update:

Was able to get my new repack to flash properly. Now, it seems I got some issues with Wi-Fi so I want to work them out before releasing the file.

It is looking good so far...

Icewyng · 11-08-2011, 05:32 PM

For those who have problems with Wi-Fi:

Delete the files in the /Data/misc/wifi folder. No need for a factory reset. It fixed the problem for me.

Now, the Wifi cannot obtain the IP adress. It seems it could be related to the wifi module. I want to investigate furthermore to find a solution to this as well.

Just so you know, I am changing tactics here... I think a repack will not be enough. I am going for a full replacement now... stay tuned!

Could you post some screenshots once you have some free time on your hands? I'm curious to see how it all looks, but not yet brave enough to try it out myself!

frth · 11-10-2011, 07:10 AM

Really waiting for result of you work. I will be nice to have firmware 2.1.1 with better perfomance and all needed stuff included

Icewyng · 11-10-2011, 08:01 AM

If you have suggestions, please do so. It would be nice to get some nice apps with this as well.

Great Apps to have are:

Screen Filter -> Brightness Control

Aldiko 2.0 -> General reading and DRM capable

Dolphin Mini (experienced problems with Dolphin HD, but worth a try) -> Browser

Wallpapers

K-9 -> Mail

Documents to go -> Reader for *.doc, *.xls and *.pps

Battery Calibration -> Useful after reflashing to get max battery life (needs root)

Launcher Pro

Titanium Backup -> Save before and restore after flashing (root)

NetQin -> Anti-virus, -spy, -malware

And of course Kindle, Kobo, Youtube

Waiting eagerly

Icewyng · 11-10-2011, 04:56 PM

Ok...taking notes on those.

So, what I have decided is, for now, make a repack with 2.1.2 and update the framework to get the market patch. After that, I will go ahead and work on porting a Froyo or GB ROM on the IQ.

Any more suggestions?

ebookof · 11-10-2011, 07:54 PM

As indicated earlier, if you can include a2sd, app2sd or link2sd functionality, that would be great.

Also, make sure that the compiler used is compatible with ebooks DRM rights. The Amazon app was not working with the repack using the JIT compiler and it seems an issue that has been encountered by others in the past. Not sure what the source of the problem is.

Not sure about adding too many apps in your repack. They can be added individually anyway.

I look forward to the repack.

Icewyng · 11-11-2011, 08:01 AM

After some work, I will be able to release the Repack over the weekend. And, whatever you do, do NOT install 2.1.2. Wait for my 2.1.2 repack.

I am not sure if it is unintentional or not but the 2.1.2 ramdisk locks the data partition, preventing you to get root or installing anything. I will take care of this in the repack.

digitalmunkey · 11-11-2011, 08:30 AM

Hi Icewyng,

I got my IQ just over a week ago and it came pre-installed with 2.1.2 and I had no problem rooting with z4root. However, I have been unable to find 2.1.2 from any of their sites, just in case something goes wrong, any ideas?

Looking forward to the fruits of your labours

Peter

Icewyng · 11-11-2011, 04:42 PM

I will have to try different methods to see which one is best to root 2.1.2. Maybe it is only to prevent root by flashing but I am still unsure.

The link for 2.1.2 is on the forums...

Firmware 2.1.2 RC

Icewyng · 11-11-2011, 07:54 PM

Got around the problem... still not sure what it was but I have a working version of the Repack.

I will do some more test and will release a Beta later tonight.
