Chuwi VX8 RileyROM 1.1

[xpuerta]

Maybe that needs to be reported to Chuwi so they can fix it in a firmware update.

Yes, I'm talking to people on the forum to see if we have the same problem...
but I'm afraid I'll have to install another ROM

sorry for my bad English I use google translator

thank you very much


for care and support

xpuerta, I'm not really understanding your problem.

You get force close when you open the "display" menu in settings?

YES...

Sorry, I don't have one of these tablets to recreate the problem.

Is anyone else having this problem?

Xpuerta, are you running the stock firmware or the RileyROM?

I´m running stock rom...

which comes factory
I have not even rooted the tablet

An off-topic question.
Has anyone found a replacement digitizer and/or other parts for our tablet?

That is exactly what your problem is. Do you have an old box laying round with an older Windows OS? It might be worth it to bring it out of moth balls for flashing.

I have read a few people who have been able to install the drivers in Windows 8.1, but the process isn't mainstream/reliable.

I refuse to upgrade my kitchen laptop to 8.1 for that reason...if it ain't broke...don't fix it, right?

LOL Rriley.both my desktop and my laptop are running 8.1.
I will try Monday to make it at a friend of mine.
Thank you and Happy new year.

If nothing happens when you click the download button, you likely have a USB connection problem. This is common.

1. Have you installed the drivers? If not, read the steps in the First Time User's Guide.
2. Try a different cable...it's better to use the one that came with the tablet.
3. Use a USB 2.0 port...not USB 3.0.

Installed the drivers,using original cable on USB 2.0
Maybe it's because i have Windows 8.1...

I just reflashed rom 1.1 from page #1, but I specified this modified boot.img in the Flash Tool and all looks as I was expecting, even in the settings is now "USB Storage" 16GB (mine external SD card) and "SD CARD" is 3.98GB (internal one). I will try to install some apps that are install partially on SDCARD, like games (Asphalt 8), to see if all works.
Thanks a lot for this modification, I think now this tablet is much more usable than before.

If somebody is interested, GPS reception on this tablet is poor (like on many chinese phones that I had before (Jiayu, Zopo, ...), maybe it works if I am outside somewhere with no buildings (not tested yet), but inside, near to window (where TCL Idol X catch GPS fast and without problems), I can see only one satellite, nothing else. Maybe I will try to play with some GPS settings, if it will help.

Thanks again for help.

Ooook,i'm tryng to flash the modified boot.img,but when i hit download,nothing happened.
Please help,i wanna swap tablet memory with my sdcard badly
