Chuwi VX8 RileyROM 1.1

[rrileypm]

Thanks for the feedback.

Remember to donate...if you haven't done so already...I'm always looking for new tablets to test with.

One thing you can try yourself is to use the MTK Droid Tools (included in the ROM kit) to see if you can get it to make a CWM by connecting to the tablet. I've tried using external files, but maybe we can make a CWM from a running installation. Here's a link to a tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2379412 but try it without checking the "to choose boot.img file" button. It will attempt to make CWM from the files on the tablet. Maybe that will work. Be careful.

Recovery

Hello, I managed to create recovery for Chuwi VX8, but the touch screen does not work, moving the menu only with buttons. I'll give you a link to the file.

Great work!!!!!!

I tried for hours to get a working recovery made. Can you explain how you did it? (PM me if you don't want to post here...I'm just curious).

The uploaded file is the boot image file and not the recovery image file.

I'm sorry for that.

So,now,having CWM,how we can install Riley's rom with it(or any rom) ?
Simply make a zip from his rom?

You really need to use the flash tool to flash my ROM. There are too many limitations to flashing with CWM. For instance, you can't use the alternative EBR files with CWM to increase user app space.

Guys how are you satisfied with your tablet so far? I plan on ordering 1 soon.

Can you please tell me is GPS working?

It's a great news having CWM...!!!

Congratulations nickikn1973!!!, and of course you too Riley for your endless improvement of our tablets with your ROMs

BTW, has anyone been successful in bringing NTFS OTG support to this Chuwi VX8?

Becuase I've tried it fruitless,...just with the usual apps ..Paragon, NTFS Mounter,...

@stop:After 1.5 weeks of using the tablet 4-6 hours a day ,i can tell u that this cheap tablet it's a must have.
Everithing works flawless,but i must admit that ,when i made the order on pandawill,i asked the guys there to check the tablet very hard,especialy on GPS .As long as i see,they respect my demands,so all works perfect on it.
I play 2 big and resource eating games now(Drgon Quest 8 and Evolution:Battle for Utopia) without any lag.
The screen is astounding in brightness . colors and viewing angles,GPS is connecting in less than 10 seconds,WI-FI works without signal drops(and it's stronger than the one on my phone-an Wiko Cinq Five-who have a good WI-FI)
Also , the tablet is thin(9 mm),the brezel is only 5 mm,making the screen huge.
The minus:sound is poor on speaker and on headphones is very flat(no mediums,no bass).U cannot use any other usb cable beside the one provided,my OTG cable it's not working on it and i cannot charge it with my Samsung charger.
But,in the end,if u use an eq program from Playstore,don't need OTG(or u buy one made for this tablet),it worth every cent u pay for it,so grab it
Any other questions u have,feel free to ask.
