Cube U9GT5 rk3188 900supersport ROM

[900supersport]

I've released a ROM for the cube u9gt5 rk3188 tab.

http://www.freaktab.com/showthread.php?4441-Cube-U9GT5-rk3188-900supersport-ROM

Notes

• Flashing will delete everything on your Cube consider backing up first and remve any sdcard

Instructions

• Download and extract to a folder
• connect the tab to the PC (you did remove the sdcard)
• start the ROM flash tool
• put the tab into flash mode, the PC should detect it, see below for instructions
• install drivers if required
• erase idb
• flash, the ROM kit is correctly configured
• the tab should boot to recovery and format cache, data and sdcard (this will take a few minutes)
• the tab should now boot

Let me know how this goes.

So what do you get?

• defaults to english uk
• root
• some bloat removed
• busybox and init.d support
• play/market fixes for more apps in Google Play
• 2 gig app space (this is standard on the stock ROM)

Booting to Bootloader (this works on the U30GT 2 so would assume it will work)

1. Power off the Cube
2. hold Vol +
3. After 3 to 4 seconds release Vol +
4. The Cube should be detected by the PC.

If you have not already installed the drivers now would be a good time. I've included the drivers in the ROM kit in the RockusbDriver folder.

Hi 900supersport,

thanks for your rom. I installed it on my 97RQ. But the difference to the Cube stock firmware is not too big for me. All of the Chinese apps are also included in your rom.

Unfortunately my 97RQ runs laggy (both with Vido and Cube firmware) and has not the performance as the Cube U9GT5 has. Seems the Cube is the better hardware choice.

Thanks for your work.

If I'm given a list of the Chinese apps that need removing I'll remove them when the test phase is over.

Hi 900supersport,

thanks for your attention. Without starting the tab these seems to be removable Chinese apps which are included in your rom. Look at the attachement.

After a few days with this rom i can say it is very stable and fast. Thanks 900Supersport.

Hi mml78,
how would you describe the difference to the stockfirmware ? I could not see a big difference but I don't have a Cube, I have a 97RQ OEM.

[900supersport]

The stock firmware is good so not too much.

• root
• some debloat, more to follow soon
• market fixes for better play store compatibility
• english by default
• init.d support

[900supersport]

debloat

@900supersport

is calculator and music bloatware also ? Sorry but I did not check the tablet actually for that.

sent from my Viewpad 10s / CM 4.2.2

[900supersport]

I can easily include them if requested. I tend to visit Google play if I need either.

Re: Cube U9GT5 rk3188 900supersport ROM

Yes, if you can, remove all that unecessary app's, they are all available in Play Store (maybe except for the calculator).
And thanks a lot for your work.

[900supersport]

I think you can find a much better calculator.

I think you can find a much better calculator.

Yes,

OK, thanks for the feedback, I've uploaded a version 1.0 ROM, with more bloat removal and Freaktab boot images courtesy of Tattman65.

If you are already on the beta in all honesty there is little to be gained from flashing this. If you want the boot screens I can upload a boot.img and bootanimation.zip with instructions.

Let me know if cube release further updates and I'll work them too.
