PMID701C (ONLY, for now) Elektricity ROM .40 coming soon....

[elektrik]

Just as soon as I can get some FTP issues sorted out. I really think everyone's gonna be pleased with the speed bump this new version gives our PMID701C tablets...It screams compared to .031 Elektricity ROM and roars past stock, for sure.

I am ready...

and looking forward to trying it out. I have moved on to a Hisense sero 7 pro for tinkering but plan to use my 701C as a psuedo chromecast device.

Good. I think you'll like the .40 version better, although the only thing I've noticed is that firefox chokes if I open too many windows (but then, Firefox chokes on this tablet on the STOCK rom with too many windows lol).

I do next to no web browsing on my tablet so i don't think firefox will be an issue for me, besides that I use the dolphin browser when i do any web stuff. My tablet is pretty much my game system and electronics reference library.

I'm liking 4.0 so far. Really like the minamalists aproach to what software is on there to start.
I would stress the letting your tablet sit for a bit after you flash it with the new rom.

Another thing i would recommend is to update super user, busybox, and the apex launcher about an hour after you flash the rom in this order.

1. Flash the rom.
2. Wait a half an hour to an hour for the rom to burn in.
3. Log into wifi network
4. Update Super Users binary inside super user
5. Update Busybox inside of busybox
6. Log in to google play or create an account
7. Update SuperUser in google play
8. Update Busybox in Google play
9. Update Apex launcher in Gppgle Play.

I flashed it too my tablet more than once and the above method is what worked the best for me for this version. If i remember correctly i had to do something similar in the previous version.
Its just a matter of updating things in the right order and has nothing to do with the quality of the rom which is superb.

Ya, I did forget to update those items. I'll shoot for a .41 release to address that

So I'm curious, when you updated the SU binary from inside super user, did you loose root access? you should check and find out, because when *I* do that, I lose root.

No I don't lose root. I update the binaries as they were the legay binaries when I checked.
You have to run the update a few times until it does the update without errors. It has to give itself superuser priveledges in order to update.

Huh...interesting...Ok I'll keep trying then..

I tried to run the update several (at least 6) times and every single time the upgrade 'failed' and I lost root, so unless you want to copy the SU binary from your tablet and send me a link so I can drop it in my ROM and test, I'm afraid I'll be keeping what is in there.

Thanks. I'll take a look at it and see what I can see.
