Android Firmwire Mod (android firmwiremod) v1.3 [Updated] for Hisense Sero 8

[AndroidFanatic]

AndroidFanatic Very nice! No problems, the update is gone and all my apps are still there, including TWRP. Thanks.

Your welcome! Glad it worked for you! ☺

AF I want to add, very nice start-up screen. Also, my root is still intact. Very happy. Is there a reason why you used Superuser instead of SuperSU? Just curious. Thanks again.

I changed the method I used to root the ROM and I copied it from the RK3288 root method, and that was rrileypm's preferred superuser app to preinstall with root! But, that shouldn't matter since, root is working!☺

Thanks for letting me know root still works with that new method I used, I'm now going to use this method for all future ROM updates and future Roms that are rooted for rockchip!

App2sd

Anyone figure out a working method of returning app 2 sd abilities? Ive tried everything and nothing works. I dont want to just use some link2sd app.

Hey AFan. I will get straight to the point: I was making the transition from RileyRom to yours (being that it seemed as if he let Sero 8's development roll on over completely to you) and I made the mistake of not wiping the tablet before going to install yours. Well, initially, it seemed as if it worked without an issue until I ran into said issues. Well, to fix them, I went on and wiped my tablet to reinstall your rom and have, indeed, reinstalled. Now I am stuck at your "android firmware" loading screen and am drawing blanks on necessary steps of rectifying this issue. What do you suggest?

I used the flash tool and everything is nice. See post #74. Did you make a backup before you started? How did you flash it?

Sorry. Just now getting back. It seems the issue was in not flashing the recovery with the rest of the rom. Unsure why that made a difference but it did.

Good day, AFan. Do you think you can help me with an issue? My tablet's (Sero 8, of course) battery meter has been getting stuck at random numbers. Naturally, I have done some research before coming to you but I really wanted to see if you have any knowledge of this issue, its origin and how to rectify it. Any help from anyone else would be equally appreciated, of course.

I have the same problem! I tried calibrating but it does nothing. I'll be at 60% power and it will immediately drop down to 20%! Reboot system and it will rise to 40%!??? Is this a bad battery?

[xrko]

My battery acts normal. A couple of times I left the usb connector plugged in(while not in use) and the battery drained. Since I started unplugging the usb cable, the battery holds its charge.

[AndroidFanatic]

Can't really help with that battery issue, it never happened to me!

I can't really help you there!

[Dostov]

I have done some trial & error of my own, along with a bit of research, and found that I could wipe the dalvik cache with this rom's provided recovery software and physically delete batterystats.bin in the data/system folder. Calibrating literally does nothing, for me, as well. Give that a try and see how it works. Still testing if this is a lasting fix or not (whilst STILL trying to find the cause D:<). Being that I am pretty much technologically challenged, I can't provide anything beyond that, on my own. xD

Battery Issue

I also had a battery problem similar to what Dostov and Vayne experienced. I tried many different things to fix it, many internet searches, but no luck.

After reading Dostov's post #84, and since I never had this problem with the RileyROMs over 3 months (nor with the original oem rom), I decided to go back to the latest RileyROM: The problem is gone, the battery is working as it should since I reflashed the RileyROM 1.3 about 10 days ago.

@AndroidFanatic, I'd like to thank you for your efforts. If for any reason you provide an updated version of your rooted rom I will absolutely give it a try.
