Working on it as I type...

It's ALMOST ready for public release... maybe this weekend...

Patches to change the increase the /data size by decreasing the /sdcard size are also coming soon...

Possibly... does it feel hot when it shutsdown or reboots?

[mel4787]

it does 100%. and even though i am a heavy user i do play games. but when i dont no force reboots

That's what it sounds like...

Every budget tablet I've ever tried to play any type of action game on has gotten almost too hot to hold before eventually shutting down from overheating...

[mel4787]

well i also web browse too. so yeah. i still like this tablet a lot.

I look forward to the next version of your ROM. This tablet is the only Android device I own that I'm still having issues with being limited on the amount of apps I can install. I have 9.59GB of total storage on my Galaxy S4 running Cyanogenmod and I have 7.75GB total storage on my UGOOS UT3 running the HPH RK3288 v1.2 ROM. I'd love to have as much space as possible on my Nextbook. What parameter size options will you offer?

It looks like I will be releasing TWRP recovery and some parameter patches some time tonight...

Options will be:
Stock
2 gb data
4 gb data

internal sd card gets whatever is left over...

4gb is about as big as data can get without doing further modification to eliminate the internal sd entirely, or change to a data/media layout with the /data folder located on an sd card....

I may look into other options in the future... but I will be taking a break from this device to work on some other devices...

OK maybe someone else who has successfully installed oma's cwm can help.. I tried installing it with arctools following the instructions here, it says it installed correctly but trying to reboot into recovery just gets me a black screen and I have to power off the tablet and power it back on. tried downloading the recovery and flashing it myself thru terminal using flash_image the same results, a black screen. so as it is right now, I have no working recovery. and no backup since I haven't been able to install a custom recovery. everything else still works fine, so as long as I don't screw anything up I should be OK.. tablet boots normally, just can't get into recovery. any ideas or suggestions? I'm not sure why this isn't working for me when everyone else has had no problem installing with arctools...

use the same tools to reflash the recovery. make sure the recovery is named to the right recovery. like my setup was recovery (2) so you have to be case sensitive with it. only then will it stick. i learned that the hard way. also pit the recovery you want in the location of where the image is located

[cpshelley]

I'm not sure what you mean .. I tried the arctools method and also tried flash_image recovery recovery.img and neither worked

[mel4787]

put the tablet in bootloader mode connect your tablet to your pc then use the tools to flash just the recovery
