NEW - Lollipop - wasser firmware 3.0.6 for Minix Neo X7

[wasser]

I'm booting up now to 0.95 and will test and let you know if random crash is resolved. How can I perform or create this simple testcase in order to help? I have the next couple of days off work and can assist in testing or being a guinea pig.

you need to figure out the steps how we always reproduce the crash.

thanks for your help

what is exactly problem with physical keyboard? could you please post more infos?

thanks

I don't have physical keyboard, but I have simple airmouse (without keyboard) that detected as physical keyboard in your firmware. So after every reboot minix think that I have a keyboard attached and when I want to use on-screen keyboard I need go to settings and disable "physical keyboard". If I not disable it, on-screen keyboard will not show up.

Well not to be a smart ass but the way I recreate it is by installing 1.0.1 and turning on the device. It doesn't matter what I am doing or if it is just sitting there, it will eventually crash. I don't have a constant variable to provide for troubleshooting.

So far 0.95 is as stable as I remember it. It is handling everything I throw at it no crash.

I think I may try 1.0 and see if I get a crash with that. I will do everything I can to help give you the data you need.

Now it crashed again (yesterday it crashed 2 times in 6 hours, today it crashed 6 times in 1 hour). Sometimes it hangs for 5 seconds and then shuts down, sometimes it just shuts down and sometime colourful vertical stripes appears on entire screen for 5 seconds and then minix shuts down.

P.S. Can someone tell me how to flash kernel in terminal emulator? I forgot.

you need root in order to flash the kernel. Just do:

su -
flash_image kernel kernel.img

I think the red border is related to this issue

http://www.droidviews.com/how-to-fix-the-red-frameborder-around-the-screen-of-android-devices/

I saw it in another rom not too long ago. Might have been strauzo's. Don't remember

With v1.0.0 i saw this red border while using chrome browser.

I have a hard time giving precise instructions how to reproduce the crashes, since they happen very random.

One time just opening Netflix would crash the minix.

A few times it crashed while streaming in Netflix.

Every time, the box shuts down. Not reboot. I have to manually turn on box with power button.

If i turn on the box and leave it on the startscreen/desktop without touching anything, then i have not seen a crash yet. So i only have crashes if i make the Minix do some task like opening an app or streaming.

Thank god, since the crash is already in v1.0.0, it is not related to the Ethernet bootloop fix, which was first introduced in v1.0.1

i'm pretty sure it's regression in kernel which i made for 1.0.x release. flemming, could you please try to flashh the kernel from 0.95 firmware and see if the crash is gone.

It's easy to flash kernel, just install terminal app from google play and launch it nd type the following commands in termimal:

1. su - (you will be asked to allow termimal started as root, just click ok)
2. flash_image kernel /sdcard/kernel.img (please copy new kernel in /sdcard foder)
3. reboot your box


thanks
