    iBerry BT-07 - Finless 1.4 Full Root ROM with latest Google Play Store

    OK by request here is my 1.4 ROM for the iBerry BT-07.

    WARNING! This is one of the few ROMs that will not work on my 10G2. I have no way to test if this is a brick ROM. If it is I have made many RK29 ROMs before so I know I can fix it. You are on your own with this. Please make sure you have the stock ROM to flash back to if this one is a brick. I am pretty confident it is not but you never know since I cannot test it.

    Also please read the readme inside if you have question. One thing I would like help on in the readme instructions is how to put the tablet in flash mode! I do not know how to do that for this tablet so you would be helping others if you could help me update the instructions

    ____________________________________________


    WARNING! Remove your SDCard when flashing this ROM!!! There is a risk it can be ERASED!!!

    This has been a lot of work by many other people. I HAVE to give total PROPS to FreakTab user Fenice57. His first ext4 setup was not quite right. We all worked together and Fenice solved the problem by highly modifying the recovery system.

    ext4 explanation:
    Understand the history. After a ROM flash the recovery system formats everything. Well without a change in that it simply reformatted anything back to ext3. The ext4.ko kernel modules handled mounting an ext3 partition even if the mount command said to mount as ext4!!! It even reported it mounted as ext4!!! Go figure that one So lot's of testing and benchmarking later..... We have a real ext4 file system!
    So there was no ext4 file system to benefit from in previous work. The improved ext4 kernel modules gave a little performance add but not much. However Fenice57 worked HARD on solving this and modified the recovery system to stop the format to ext3. Sowa and myself also added in testing and showing the issues. But Fenice is the MAN! He solved it.

    Fenice57... Can I just say THANK YOU! Everyone that uses my 1.4 ROM. Please also give a hand to Fenie57!


    OK so what’s in this ROM 1.4
    It's the same as 1.3
    1) Full root with /system set as RW
    2) SU and Superuser.apk installed and given root permissions
    3) File system properly redone and blocked for NAND.
    4) Market 3.4.4 installed

    Whats added in 1.4 is:
    1) WiFi scan interval is changed from 15 seconds to 300. This may help some guys with battery issues. Myself, I do not have this problem but due to many asking for it, I put it in. If you want to change it back:
    Use a file manager and copy out from /system the file build.prop file. Copy it on your SDCard. Then copy to PC or whatever. Edit the file and find this line:
    wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=300
    Just edit the 300 back to 15 and your back to stock.

    2) ext4 file system.. Well I explained the work that went into this above but just to add. I have done extensive benchmarking with many tools. This does not add a huge performance increase to the overall use of the tablet. EXCEPT, and this is actually kind of benefit, Sequential Write of files to memory. Large file writes are over double what they were on ext3. Random Read and Random Write are about the same. So where you should see an increase is downloads to Tablet memory, market download and install speed, some apps that write to memory a lot, etc etc etc. Overall however, the tablet seems much faster to me but remember, I am the cooker so I am biased


    Ok well that’s it. I was working on a dual boot setup but that will have to wait for 1.5

    Here is the download link for 1.4

    ROM -> iBerry BT-07 version 1.4a with Google Play, by Finless (166 megs)


    OK so thats it.... I hope you enjoy my new ROM. Please feel free
    Again, this ROM was a combined effort from a few people and I could not have done it without them!

    Oh and also....special thanks to Freaktab user Daman for an awesome boot screen and a LOW COST boot animation that will show people if the Tab is bricked or actually booting! When I say a low cost boot animation I tested it. With out it the boot time was only 4 seconds longer! But the beauty is unlike complex boot animations out there, this one gives the user feedback showing something is happening rather than wondering if it is a brick! GOOD JOB Daman and thank you!
    If you the user wants to remove it, since you are rooted , just go into /system/media and delete the file bootanimation.zip. But I think you may find you like it so I personally enjoy it and will keep it


    Enjoy!
    Bob

        Stock rom

        I have downloaded your custom ROM...
        But I am a bit confused. What is the STOCK ROM...? The link that I provided in the first post or the link that you provided in the READ ME file...? Both of the roms have different sizes. one is around 160 MB & th other is 120 MB...

        please confirm bro...

          Ooops, sorry I did not update the link to the stock ROM in the readme. Thats from another ROM

          Sorry man.... I missed that. I will update the readme now with the linky ou gave me.

          Alsio if you can tell me how to p[ut the tablet in flash mode I will update those instructions as well.

          My ROM will be a much larger file size because I converted CRAMFS to EXT4. CRAMFS is a compressed READ ONLY file system. TO get full on root you have to convert it and it makes the ROM file size much larger. But trust me... the performance should be somkin fast compared to whatytou have now so it is worth it


          Hope that makes sense?

              Titanium backup however since you were not rooted to begin with I do not think that will work.
              The other option is ES FIle explorer which will backup apps BUT NOT all your system data.

              Bottom line buddy..... You flash a new ROM you erase everything! The price to pay

                This is what I get... I hope it will help you figure out how to put the tab in FLASH mode... I quote...


                ""To reinstall the firmware follow the below given steps:

                1. Switch-off the tablet and connect it to the charger.
                2. Connect the USB cable to tablet (But don't connect it to PC)
                3. Press and hold the ESC button of the tablet and simultaneously connect the cable to PC.

                Your PC will show "Found new hardware" and it will search for driver. Drivers are located in the folder "Drivers".

                4. Open the file "BT07-tool.exe".
                5. Once the drivers are successfully installed a green signal will appear under "Connected Devices"
                6. Click "Upgrade" button and the process will start automatically.

                Precautions:
                -> Do NOT perform the above process when your Tablet is not connected to charger.

                -> Do NOT press Cancel or Disconnect the Tablet from PC""

                    I do not know. I spent considerable time fixing the market files. But since I cannot test this ROM I really do not know. I have not changed your ROMs Google ro.fingerprint so it should be OK. No promises. I would write down what you can. Again ES FIle explorer will backup user installed apps.

                          hey man, Nice to see your helicopter in the profile pic. I have seen it before in your safety video...

                            The profile picture is a LOT BIGGER heli than in my safety video.

                            The one in my profile picture has 700mm blades (each blade) for a total rotor span of 1500mm (including the head)

                            The one in my safety video has 325mm blades for a total of 660mm.

                            The 700 heli will KILL YOU if it hits you!!! Good chance you would survive the 325 heli but you would NOT look pretty!

                              well, Have you designed the device yourself...? I think you love the heli & those kind of avionic gadgets..! Me too, but haven't got the chance to prepare one for myself. I think I will do it in my final year project & before I start the project I'll consult it with you for sure bro.
