Title: Measy X7 Android Media Player
Post by: tatubias on Nov 09, 2011 at 03:17 AM
For my surprise our Measy x7 2.2 andoird is not going to be up datable to android 2.3.it seems that needs some "soldering" to be fix.

MEASY is not fixing all the issues that we have already sent to them. This is the second time and the LAST that i buy a product from MEASY. The support respond to you the first 2 times you send an email then it relay sucks.

They don't care about the client. it seems that they does not know enough to develop a device.

The SPECS that are posted are FAKE the cpu does not get to 1ghz it is scaled to 600mhz.

also i can believe how they can show their face into CES 2012 if they provide this kind of support. in USA they make pay the company's that lies to their clients or does not provide the adequate support.

Only buy this product if the Sellers can validate that the devices has andoird 2.3 installed on it. if not DONT BUY IT

100% Disappointed

Kind regards Tatubias.


RE UPDATE: guys new firmware has being released so keep reading though all the post due a lot of new stuff are fixed and tircks are shown how to do them.


hi guys; finally im back again. i have bought a Measy x7 android media player. (updated)

(http://www.measy.com.cn/upload/X7-20110818-01(1).jpg)

Product home page: http://www.measy.com.cn/product/showproduct36_en.htm (http://www.measy.com.cn/product/showproduct36_en.htm)
Firmware update page: http://www.measy.com.cn/download/download.php?en=en&class1=13&class2=47 (http://www.measy.com.cn/download/download.php?en=en&class1=13&class2=47)
English User Manual: http://www.multiupload.com/PTHEIG3AV8 (http://www.multiupload.com/PTHEIG3AV8)

First of all what i did was flash the device and install the latest firmware. i has some good updates on the android os like many other languages and other little things.

The flashing procedure is the following.(BE Aware of doing this you may brick the device only doit if you realy needed or are interested in doing it.)

1) Download firmware from: http://www.measy.com.cn/download/download.php?en=en&class1=13&class2=47 (http://www.measy.com.cn/download/download.php?en=en&class1=13&class2=47)

2) uncompress the V1026.rar

3) copy update.zip to SD card. ( not need unzip the file) (copy to the root directory)

4) Put the SD card slot into the media player slot.

5) Select update icon to upgrade FW.

note: you can use the Udrive or pendrive or usb memory to do this also.

When the device restart will try to mount the image from the SD or the Udrive if it is no recognized you have an option to select from where do you want to start the flashing.

note: by the moment i dont have the original firmware.

Lets continue some Specs:

CPU: Cortex A9 1GHZ ( i have tested and it did mark 600mhz i will be investigating this item)

OS: Android 2.2 Foryo
3d GPU: Mali400 (nothing from the other world but fruit ninja can be played well and other games too)
RAM: 512MB [/b](Shows 189mb more or less, will be investigating about this item too )
USB 2 HOST: 4 ports
USB 3: 1 port
SD: 1 Reader
HD: 3.5" you can install the product does not brings the HD
WIFI Dongle n: can be installed using one usb
hdmi  1.3: yes
ypbpr: yes
optical audio: yes
L/R audio: yes
LAN: YES (rj45)
usb mouse: yes
wireless mouse: yes
usb Keyboard: Not tested but is supposed to be supported
wireless Keyboard: Not tested but is supposed to be supported
MAX Video output: 1920x1080p
Remote controller: yes and is very hi quality (but annoying when you need to play around android apps this kind of media players need a controller with gyroscope like the FV-1 media player)


Some testing that i did:

First of all i noticed that if i put n 1080P the images gets out from the frame of the TV or they are not shown it is like cut. (will be investigating how to fix this)

I have downloaded some video samples at 1080p from: http://www.demo-world.eu/trailers/high-definition-trailers.php (http://www.demo-world.eu/trailers/high-definition-trailers.php)

There you can download a lot of video samples that are the one when you go to your TV shop. they are great and very high quality.

i have downloaded 3 videos 1080p and they played very smooth.

i did down load the spider-man trailer 1080p and did played well too. ]( want to test an 1080P action movie,  or these the screen of the flying birds of the discovery channel documentary that you can see millions of them "this is a very hard test")

Tested 2 720p video and played smooth too. (did not watched the complete movie this i will need to test too)

I will be doing more test with the video playing to check how smooth videos are being played.

i was able to load subtitles they don't have outline colors possibles (white, yellow and blue) Note: you can download any video player for android and test it.

What i noticed was that standard quality videos shown with the new firmware looks better than with the original one.


---------------
Android Applications:

The device does not brings basically no application installed. it has the one to view the videos / photos and mp3 and other to install application from the udrive or sd.

NOTE: applications are by default installed on the SD card. you cant install in the free memory of the device or into the HD or the Udrive.

It does not brings Android marke yet: I was told that it will be included in the next firmware.

I was not able to synchronize the device with google account you cant use android market if this can be done. also if it is not done, you cant use gmail apk, or google docs or any application that needs google to be logged in

I have installed Adownload (bittorrent client its working and downloading into the hard drive) GOOOD i will be doing some more test on this.

note: be aware that the hard drive not always is mounted on the same path. so if you have application that need to read or write to the hdd first check the hdd location. i have reported this probably it will be fixed in followings updates.

the web browser works good.

i will be posting more findings and likes and dislikes.....

must haves:
The firmware should be really worked to make the product much more that is today.
The launcher of the media player menu should be stylish like the e8hd or similar.
Apps should be able to be installed in the device or SD
controller should have gyroscope
Some settings should be added it has little options availability
it should connect with andriod market and google account.
hd should had reserved a mount point.


i will let know my findings and updating
Title: Re: Measy X7 Android Media Player (review / support / help)
Post by: tatubias on Nov 11, 2011 at 04:23 AM
here are new findings.

internal storage 1.75GB (applications are not installed there so it really does not matter what can you do there, because you cant install the apps there)  
update: apps are instaled on th internal memmory but you need a SD to be installed on the device.

CPU:AML8726-M "1ghz"
CPU Frequency Range: 200mhz to 800mhz
CPU Scaling RANGE: 200mhz to 600mhz


SCREEN:
in 1080p the image of the screen goes out of the screen.
in 720P the image is sliced from the sides.


File sharing SAMBA

Samba is not installed so you cant use the device as NAS server. You cant install the application because the Android should be Rooted and it is not. so i will need to investigate further on how to do this.

You can access from the device to you other shared directories from your network like your notebook or other pc.(the soft is in chineese, also has a bug when you type the ip that does not shows  you well what are you typing) not able to test this yet, cant make it work.

P2P
Bit torrent is not installed or any other p2p software. (soft that i have installed and tested are:
adownloader: has an issue that does not let you download files bigger that 4gb i have already reported that bug. for smaller files work perfect and very quick.
ttorrent: did work well to and let you download files over 4gb.

Lets talk about some apps that should be installed to make it add more value.

Grooveshark: (needs payed subscription, or similar app) its an app that lets you listen tons of on demand music files.
TuneIn Radio: has hundres of radios to be listen online from all the world
Doplhin Browser HD: its a web browser very good Designed
Flash 10.3: nothing to comment.
Adobe pdf reader or similar.
Advance Task killer (or similar task manager): this apps let you kill applications that were left opened and are using memory (we have few)
RSS reader / news reader.
Android Market (it is not installed)
TV whatching app.
SAMBA HD SHARING.

for the people that likes to play
angry birds
cut the rope
Fruit Slice
Mahjong
4 in a row
etc

HARD DRIVE
I little issue that i found was, if you have installed a hard drive and you boot the device with a usb drive connected the hard drive will be mounted to an other directory that was not mounted before. so if you have applications configured to "download files so some directory" or "look photos from the hardrive" you will never get them  you will need to redirect the directories or un plug the usb and restar the player

The work around is: dont start the device with a usb drive installed

would be interesting to see the screenshots of key features for us who do not have Measy X7 yet.

Post by: tatubias on Nov 11, 2011 at 08:58 PM
would be interesting to see the screenshots of key features for us who do not have Measy X7 yet.
How i wish you can do the same work for the Egreat latest R300S and R200S, since both run  android.

would be interesting to see the screenshots of key features for us who do not have Measy X7 yet.

fiscally it looks nice. The case is made from metal and plastic. (not aluminum)
the remote controller looks and feels grate.
it looks exactly as you can see in the measy webpage.

it has 2 launchers (main screens):

The first is orientated to a media player view is the one that you can: see in the photos of the site, that is a desktop.
(http://img850.imageshack.us/img850/6198/homemenu.png)

there you can get to watch videos, photos, explore you hard drive, access to some web content. access to android screen and use any application and the configuration menu. web surf. listen to your mp3.

Basically it has the same as any other media player on this screen.


The other launcher goes to a view as you are in a tablet pc, so there you can access directly to any soft that is installed on the media player.

There you can personalize you desktop with live wallpapers, pictures as a wall paper you can install widgets, so you can see the weather, stocks, a clock,  and all kind of widgets that you can imagine

here it is an example to have an idea (this was not installed on the device but you can)

(http://technologylifer.info/uploadfiles/android1org-1284795239/fancy-widget-multiple-functions-on-android-homescreen_1.png)

(http://android.appstorm.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/weatherwidgets4.png)

It has an app that scan the sd or udrive for akp files and directly shows all that you have there, so you can clic them an install it or remove them. it work perfect.

so you need to download the APK file from the web and use the application to install or remove them.

a apk repository that im using is www.apktop.com there are lots of applications, there are not all that are in android market but has a lot of them and has the paid version to download them for free.


it like a small PC you can do anything that you can imagine, there are more than 360.000 aps that can be installed.

examples: any kind of games
apps like office
instant messenger (aol, msn, skype, yahoo, facebook, tweeter, etc)
email programs
p2p applications
emulator for N64, Nes, Snes, Gba, Gbc, Atari, Sega Genesis, Sega Master System, Sega Gamegear, MAME, commodore and any old machine that you can imagine. applications to watch tv online
system applications cpu, memmory, testing, etc.
pdf readers, ebook readers kindle, etc.
application to send to print to your home printer connected to  your pc

as you can imagine its near what can most of the people do with his pc.

hilly recommended to use a wireless mouse or a flymouse.



How i wish you can do the same work for the Egreat latest R300S and R200S, since both run  android.
Send me one i dont have any problem to do this.;)

Post by: tatubias on Nov 11, 2011 at 09:06 PM
It's good to hear feedback from the expert. Measy X7 coming soon this November in Phil :-)

if you can tel them this are the basic stuff that are missing to have them to correct on the device.


I have received information from measy that the processor is 1GHZ but all the test i did did never reach over 600mhz
Also they confirm me that the device has 512MB ram, but all test i did were showing (TOTAL) 189MB ram.

both too issues should be fixed or corrected. may be something not implemented as it should on the firmware.

Key missing things are:

1 - Samba server not installed ( can only be installed if the media player is rooted)
2 - Android Market not installed ( i had information that will be added in the next update of the firmware)
3 - P2P soft not installed (you can install it - this is published as it has the product and it is not installed)
4 - Fix the screen size in 720 and 1080, also in lower resolution the image it CUT.
5 - Fix that the hard drive is auto assigned always to the same mounting point. because if you put a usb 6 6 - drive and boot the device with it connected. the hard drive is mounted into an other mounting point.
7 - Add filtering of ads servers and spammer on the host file. this is very simple to do  it does not take more that 5 minutes to do this. they should install addfree apk on a rooted system an copy the hostfile then to a new firmware.
8 - Application to suft shared drives on the network it is in chineese i was not able to make it work.
9 - Video player does not support subtitles from this side of the world that has characters like ó,á,é,í,ñ, etc.
10 - Task manager / task killer app should be installed
11 - The online content is poor it not has much should be updated.
12 - application to see podcast should be installed
13 - application to see TV / Movies should be installed
14 - Make by default install APK on the internal memory of the device, also add the option to move the apk to the SD.
15 - in the Settings option add more options that are not present, example ( configure the bright and contrast, etc)
16 - Provide a controller with gyroscope this will make the huge different when you interact with the device. (example FV-1 media player or flymouse ) until this is possible add a wireless mouse
17 - make usb / SD be detected Faster
18 - Using hdmi connector) if the device is started and the tv is not set to view hdmi, then when you change to the hdmi in the tv you only see a black screen (this may be my tv but dont know).
19 - look and feel update, the booting image of the droid could be better.
20 - Look and feel the main screen them should be Stylish as any other media player.
21 - firmware when updated stats in chineese will be "better" to start in English or have a 1 first time boot to configure the language of the interface.
22 - Look and Feel the case android logo should be illuminated differently like "mac" or something like that


it is a good device and interesting. some little things should be fixed. to be grate. i realy need to investigate further about the CPU issue and the memory issue.

tatubias,

am quite concerned on the clocking, want to try that same app you use in the R300S. just email a short howto and let's see if this clocking issue (1Ghz vs. 0.6 per your test) is true for other brand/models of the same.

for the wishlist/fixes below, hmm, these fw improvements develop over time.

Is torrent stable for > 4GB downloads? I never got it to work good on my Measy X6 so it just stays as a entry player and downloads are done elsewhere.

for testing the CPU you can use any application that is out threre.

System Tune Pro:

I have not tested to fully download a >4gb i tested a 6.6gb file but i did cut the download, in the middle of the file and did work very well.

ttorrent client does not have te limit of the 4gb file that has some other torrent clients.

if you have android market try using any of the applications that are in the link:

I have tested ttorrent bit torrent client have downloaded a movie of 7.7gb fast, about 250kb/h, it took like 9hs to download it.

About the movie how does it do the play back, by the moment that im watching it it does it very well have not noticed frames skipping yet. Im using the default media player that it provided with the X7

Playback information:
Source 1080P BluRay
Video 1920*816 / 8,020 kbps
Audio DTS 1509
Subs EN/EN forced.

By the moment all goes fine. i will be updating the post on how well did the play back.

UPDATE: finally i did finished to watching the 1080p movie 8,020 kbps it did really played very very well. so the player can decode 8,020 kbps mkv files. GOOD ;)

Little review about Downloading torrents

Finally yesterday i decided to down load a 11.1gb also i downloaded other about 7.7 gb and other about 700mb, all of them did download really fast, and i did not have any issue about downloading files over 4gb. i had used T-torrent client. it is fast and stable. Downloading the files did not affect the general performance of the device.

T-torrent full V0.8.6: http://www.apktop.com/wp-content/plugins/download-monitor/download.php?id=6058 (http://www.apktop.com/wp-content/plugins/download-monitor/download.php?id=6058)

(http://www.apktop.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/tTorrent-3.png)


There are other bit torrent clients, you will need to download and test them and see what is better for you. some of them does not support downloading files over 4gb by the moment.

other bit torrent clients:
aTorrent: did not tested here it is the link to download it. http://www.apktop.com/wp-content/plugins/download-monitor/download.php?id=3194 (http://www.apktop.com/wp-content/plugins/download-monitor/download.php?id=3194)

(http://www.apktop.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/aTorrent-PRO-2-180x300.jpg)


aDownloader ( this i have tested i did like it very very much but by the moment does not allow you to download files over 4gb. i have reported this issue to the developer so i hope in the next release will be fixed.

Android market missing :P

Due android market is not installed on the device you will need to use other places to download apps and games here are some of them.

APKTOP:
url: http://www.apktop.com/ (http://www.apktop.com/)
Description: it has full versions of the software for free. apps are downloaded thought the web browser.

SLIDE ME:
url:http://slideme.org/ (http://slideme.org/)
Description: it has free and payed apps and games it has an app so you can download directly form the media player and you dont need the web browser.

androidrise
url:http://www.androidrise.com/ (http://www.androidrise.com/)
Description: it has apps and games.

Others that i have not tested.
http://www.downapk.com/ (http://www.downapk.com/)

http://www.camangimarket.com/index.html (http://www.camangimarket.com/index.html)
http://applanet.net/ (http://applanet.net/)

Have in mind that there are a lot of more app stores around the world this are some of them. also it supposed that in the next firmware update the android market will be available.

you can use https://market.android.com/ to search and read about the application then search on thoes other app markets and download from there.

if you dont find in thoes market you can use google putting the name of the app and apk extention. example

in google type:  moboplayer apk

you will get a lot of sources to download it.

About the sound quality it is good i heard on the tv so i cant really say how really good it is. I have tested FLAC files but with the default player i was not able to listen them i had downloaded an other player and did play it very well.

Some possible media player options:
mx MediaPlayer
winamp
andless
meridean media player

problem with that default player that came with player and cant play FLAC is a dead end.

not all people are like you who are savvy enough to install the media player options you list. Measy needs to include better players for it i think in their firmware.  but good to hear its doable if people know how to tweak their X7.




About the sound quality it is good i heard on the tv so i cant really say how really good it is. I have tested FLAC files but with the default player i was not able to listen them i had downloaded an other player and did play it very well.

Some possible media player options:
mx MediaPlayer
winamp
andless
meridean media player

and much more players can be used.

Adding new software is very easy. it is like any table pc. or near what do you do when you install a sfotware in your windows machine.

you need to downlaod the APK file and click it to install it. nothing more.

But yes they should select little better the basic software that is installed on the media player so the user is given a full solution and not a partial one. Not every body is interested in finding a solution that it not provided by the device he has bought.

new little bug that i noticed. is when you connect the player to you USB and use it like a hard drive. it does un mount from the android. And when you un plugged from your computer it does not auto load again i have to reboot the device.

Also it is common to have the file system corrupted. because when you turn off the device it automaticaly shuts down and does not power off as it should.

this same issue has allready e8hd media player.

Thinking more in cold, now that i have tested little better, what i can say you don't need to think that this how the player will end, it really has unlimited possibilities. android market has like 300.000 apps and games. so if one of the app does not fit your needs, you download other and that's all.

It exactly like you do with you windows machine, and you don't need to wait a new firmware to be released from the supplier. EXCELLENT POINT.

There are some little things that are going to be fixed and they are realy easy to do so, this will be updated soon.

Keep in mind that this year and next one will be the years of the tablet applications that will be able to be installed on the device so there will be tons of upgrades and porting to android. this really thrills me and opens millions of opportunities.

Its a time matter that's all. un limited opportunities and wide frontiers. i invite you to take initiative and make the device any kind of thing that you can image or fit your needs. does not think that it is a media player only it is much more than that. :)

Keep in mind that most of the apps are still develop for Cellphone so this year probably will be migrated to tablet screens so the willl be providing much more options and better experiences. Also keep in mind that cellphone now a day have very very big processors and memory even larger than any media player so the ir a wide range of new opportunities on the software.

Thank you,

could you explain me better what do you mean with "Can X7 supports 10 bit encoding. If not its possible to install codec?"
are you talking about encode audio or video???
or decode audio or video?

which codec?

Here are some Technical Hardware specification of the main micro processor Amlogic AML8726-M.

General Description

AML8726‐M device is designed for the connected MID, tablet, STB, and TV applications. It integrates a power CPU, a 2D/3D graphics subsystem and a state‐of‐the arts video decoding engine with all major peripherals to form the ultimate multimedia SoC.

The application processor is an ARM Cortex‐A9 CPU with L1 instruction and data cache and a large L2 unified cache to improve system performance. In addition, the Cortex‐A9 CPU includes the NEON SIMD co‐processor to improve software media processing capability. The ARM Cortex‐A9 CPU can run up to 1GHz and has a wide bus connecting to the memory sub‐system.

The graphics subsystem consists of two graphic engines and a flexible video/graphics output pipeline. The ARM Mali‐400 GPU handles all the OpenGL ES 2.0 and OpenVG graphics programs, while the 2.5D graphics Engine handles additional scaling, alpha, rotation and color space conversion operations. The video output pipeline can perform advanced image correction and enhancements. Together, the CPU and GPU handle all operating system, networking,user‐interface and gaming related tasks.

Three additional processors offload the Cortex‐A9 CPU by handling all audio and video decoding processing – the MediaCPU and two MediaDSPs. The audio optimized MediaCPU is available for audio decoding to off‐load computation tasks from the ARM Cortex‐A9 CPU. The video decoder sub‐system can decode all HD video formats.

H.264, RealVideo, MPEG 1/2/4, VC‐1/WMV and JPEG/MJPEG streams are processed by dedicated hardware together with the flexible dual MediaDSP engines. In addition to video decoding, the video decoding engine is also capable of decoding JPEG pictures with no size limitation.

A crypto‐processor accompanies the CPU and media decoding engines to handle encrypted traffic and media streams. The cryptographic processor provides hardware based random number generator and supports DES, 3DES, AES and DVB‐DS standards.

The SoC integrates many advanced peripherals inside including 10/100 Ethernet MAC; 3Gbps SATA and dual USB highspeed ports; multi‐standards card controller and transport‐demux processor. The flexible and programmable QoSbased switch fabric and memory controller tie all the processing cores and peripherals together and connects to the DDR2 memory bus. The build‐in videoDAC and HDMI transmitter supports external TV connections while the internal RGB digital output and LCD timing controller supports LCD panel.

DTV broadcasting streams can be received by the dual transport stream (TS) interfaces. Both serial SPI and parallel SPI are supported. The received streams can be saved in external storage devices for PVR applications. DVB Common Descrambler 1.0 is supported in addition to DES, Triple DES (TDES/3DES) and AES streaming crypto formats. An integrated ISO7816 controller is included for interfacing to external smart card.

The AML8726‐M SoC supports industrial standard Linux and Android operating system. Standard development environment utilizing gcc tool chain is supported.

Testing some file manager defintly i stay with GHOST COMMANDER.

(http://rowi.standardleitweg.de/uploads/Screens/mobile/GhostCommander.png)

Homepage: http://sourceforge.net/projects/ghostcommander/files/ (http://sourceforge.net/projects/ghostcommander/files/)

Download: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/ghostcommander/Ghost%20Commander%201.38.1b3.apk?r=&ts=1322139115&use_mirror=ufpr (http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/ghostcommander/Ghost%20Commander%201.38.1b3.apk?r=&ts=1322139115&use_mirror=ufpr)

Samba Pluggin: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/ghostcommander/Ghost%20Commander%20-%20Samba%20plugin%20v1.18b2.apk?r=http%3A%2F%2Fsourceforge.net%2Fprojects%2Fghostcommander%2Ffiles%2F&ts=1322139154&use_mirror=ufpr (http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/ghostcommander/Ghost%20Commander%20-%20Samba%20plugin%20v1.18b2.apk?r=http%3A%2F%2Fsourceforge.net%2Fprojects%2Fghostcommander%2Ffiles%2F&ts=1322139154&use_mirror=ufpr)

Dual panel file manager (much like Norton Commander, Midnight Commander, FAR or Total Commander).

Unlike regular file managers, it copies and moves files between its two panels. Many people consider that way as more convenient than that explorer-like "copy" and then "paste" steps.

(http://www.androidfreeware.net/img2/ghost_commander_android_1.png)


Aside the file system on the sdcard, this file manager can also upload or download files from FTP servers and Windows network shares (Samba plug-in required), create or extract ZIP archives.

For the advanced users, this file manager has also the "root:" (su - super user) mode that is essential to work with system files on a rooted phone, change file permissions attributes (chmod) and even execute your own shell commands. Plus, the "mount:" mode allows you to browse and remount the file system's partitions.

(https://market.android.com/publish/images/PQAAACUNedWw6GXgEvCVXu5EDBxpyWXw4KKyco7jqItj60dFKOyzUrFIntowKDimFo1jB01i4fR0_QCdWiYDZrD3aMUAzfqVaeaobrn6_NqwgPkn3VHzpaRYVjVn.png)

Please note! Tap on the right side of the panel to select multiple files. Tap on the left side to activate a file or enter a folder. Yes, one side will activate, and the other side will select.

(https://androidmarket.googleusercontent.com/android/market/com.ghostsq.commander/ss-480-3-5)


Furthermore the application comes with a lot of customizable options which allow you to adjust its behavior to your personal habits.

The Ghost Commander file manager features include but not limited to:
* multiselect (manual or using wildcards)
* pictures thumbnails
* favorites
* calculation of the total size of the selected folders and files
* sorting - by file names, by extension, by size, by date
* search for files by file name (with wildcards)
* text editor (built-in or external)
* open a file with the appropriate application (install an .apk, show a picture or play a movie)
* send files via email or bluetooth
* many personalization settings, like: custom colors, custom interface language, custom toolbar set
* standard file manager features: create directory, create text file, delete files and folders, copy files and folders, FTP download, FTP
upload, ZIP creation and extraction, super user mode.

From my experience, in order to access the PCs in your network, you'll need the windows explorer app. It's a freeware, just download on your pc and install via SD card as instructed by tatubias.  ;)

For Samba (viewing files on other PCs on your Network), I have installed ES File Explorer. It is just great, for cut/paste/renaming, and other file operations... also has its own media player & image viewer, which is better than the stock ones. It is free too.

Tatubias,

I have a 3TB external HDD connected to X7, which has movies, music & photos.
I have no problems with playing the movies & music from this HDD using the supplied or downloaded media players.

But photos is the problem.
The 'Gallery' app displays photos from HDD in very poor resolution (as if it is just magnifying the thumbnail).
Photos in SDcard are displayed perfectly.

Now if I open file explorer & select the same photo, by selecting 'open using Gallery' the photo is displayed perfectly. But I have to then go back to File Browser, select the next photo etc to view each photo correctly.

Have you experienced this ?

I am inserting screen shot of a photo viewed both ways:

From File Browser :

Directly from Gallery :

I have experienced exactly the same.

we need to get a good photo viewer, i have not tested them yet due i have not much pictures to watch. but i have the same issue.

it may be something on how it is configured by default we need to investigate little more an see if this can be corrected.

i will be sending this issue to measy so they can correct it on the next firmware. ;)

by the moment we need to look for a good picture player ;)

the AML8726-M.  chip does support by defaulty a 3TB HD. i have a 2tb and i have no issues.

if you have differents partitions on the hard drive, it show them in different directories example:

you have a drive with 3 partitions you will find them like that.

/mnt/sata/sda1
/mnt/sata/sda2
/mnt/sata/sda3

Z4root  (will be testing it.) with the device rooted i will be installing samba, and adfree app. and much more ;)

if you have rooted the device you can install android market.

Z4root  which version did you used.

I used Z4Root v1.3.0

I am confused by your replies ...

First you wrote " I have exactly the same experience"
In the next post you wrote "I have 2 TB, and have no issues"
(Do you mean no issues with other functions except photo viewer ?)

I tried other photo viewer apps (eg Justpictures) but all of them access photos only from SDcard.

Thanks & Regards !

Thank you very much roycejp for the tip ;).

I have installed Z4root this application does root your Measy x7 Mediaplayer. this is a very good news. due we can install much more applications.

(http://www.image-share.com/upload/1082/124.jpg)

When you click to root your device it provides you 2 options:
 a) temporary root
 b) permanent root.

i have done the permanent root. it takes about 5 minutes to do it. so be very very patient. Then the application says that is going to be rebooted.

Changelog

V1.0.0 : Initial Release
V1.1.0 : Will now open the application settings page if USB debugging is not enabled.
V1.2.0 : Unroot support, fix for devices with small max file size such as I5700, binaries in xbin rather than bin
V1.2.1 : Back to /system/bin for support for some devices. Fix for QVGA devices.
V1.2.2 : Adverts added (can be permanently disabled with menu option). Hopeful fix for devices such as Moment (Did not work).
V1.3.0 : Force unroot option, temporary root option.

it does happen the same to me i see bad the images with the gallery

In the next post you wrote "I have 2 TB, and have no issues"
about the hard drive i have a 2tb and works perfect also i explained that the device supports 3tb hard drives. this comment has nothing to do about how pictures are shown.

I tried other photo viewer apps (eg Justpictures) but all of them access photos only from SDcard.
We will need to find a good pic viewer that can access the HD

note: did you try to make a link from the SD to the hard drive? is that possible? (did not tested yet)

Something that is annoying in android is that all free apps has Ads this a pain in the a....s.

So with the x7 Rooted with Z4root as i explain before. i have installed adfree app.

(https://g1.gstatic.com/android/market/com.bigtincan.android.adfree/ss-480-0-9)

AdFree removes most ads in the browser and other apps. It does this by nullifying requests to known host names in the system hosts file.

So it will be more pleasant experience not viewing all the adds while your are playing or using a free app.

Regarding Android Market, Measy sent me a new 'update.zip' with Android market.

However, I just cannot sign in to my Google account.

whenever I try to sign in, I get the progress bar for some time, then I get a message :

"Cannot establish a reliable connection to Google Servers. If problem persists contact customer care".

I have never been able to sign in so far.

the issue is that the device is not recognized. so you cant login. i have not tested trying to install the market with the player rooted.

my tests will be with market 2.2 and 3.11. then i will let you know my findings.

what i have know is that for the next firmware measy will include the market.

Tatubias,

Thanks for Ad-free !!

I had installed Android Market with X7 rooted.
That was not a problem.

Even with Market installed, the problem of logging in to Google still remains.

Measy needs to get X7 registered with A.Market, or it needs to spoof/fake another registered device.

Another issue is that at power-up, the clock is always 05:30, & date 1-1-1970.

If I have selected 'update from network' in settings, the clock corrects itself after 2-3 minutes.

The problem is some apps (like news) don't work properly with wrong date, & I have to wait till the date corrects itself (or set it manually everytime).

Trying my EGreat r300 and it can login google fine, strange why Measy x7 won't login google fine.

it only an app issue. measy is going to release the new firmware with market working.


we have covered the app installation thought other available markets around the world. please verify the posts earlier done. Keep in mind that android is not like APPLE they allow to have multiple apps markets. so there are a lots in all the web

you only need to type in google. android market or apk market. that all.

about r300  device, we dont know if it the real android market can be any of them. usually Chinese vendors offer an other market that is not the "original".

Finally i was able to install android market i did study a little but finally its up and running.
it is very simple.

(http://www.image-share.com/upload/1087/263.jpg)

Download  the apps from: http://www.multiupload.com/JRLKVCFY85 (http://www.multiupload.com/JRLKVCFY85)

install:
1 - OneTimeInitializer-signed.apk
2 - SetupWizard-signed.apk
3 - GoogleServicesFramework-signed.apk
4 - vending-3.1.3-signed.apk
5 - Reboot the device

Go to the settings menu. --> accounts & sync settings
Select background data  and auto-sync

Thats all. it does work using ethernet connection and WIFI


note: if some one wants to do some testing dont install the following
1 - OneTimeInitializer-signed.apk
2 - SetupWizard-signed.apk
then let me know if it runs  the market ;)

remember to reboot the device


UPDATE: i did install  the following pagages only and did workperfect.

1 - GoogleServicesFramework-signed.apk
2 - vending-3.1.3-signed.apk
3 - Reboot.

Hey Tatubias,

That's great !

I assume the 'cannot connect to google servers' issue is solved by your procedure.

But unfortunately now I have another serious issue with X7.

Yesterday I connected my old E8HD to the USB port of X7, to view the files from it's internal HDD.

Then suddenly my USB ports stopped working (WiFi dongle/ Keyboard/mouse / Ext. HDD dead) !

I tried to force upgrade, but cannot (due to USB not working) & for some reason, it also does not read update from SDCard while updating.

I have mailed Measy. Hope I won't have to ship it to them. Bad luck :-(

really bad luck!!!!!!

try to do this.

reboot the device with the reset button or go to the firmware upgrade icon, it will open the menu for upgrading the firmware. there it is an option that says Factory data reset.  or you can do the factory data reset in the settings menu inside the privacy.

i did had some issues wile upgrading my device it did not read the SD or the usb. what i did was format again the USB in 16bit and did work perfect.

note: some times it takes more than 10 seconds to recognize the usb. i did used the port located in the back.

Another minus for X7 is that it does not support USB DVD ROM.

I know that other Android-Player competitors support DVD ROM.

I have many DVDs of movies, so it is very difficult to copy files from DVD to X7 !!

you should ask them to make a DVD ripper if they later support USB DVD ROM, :) that would be a really cool app.

A300 can rip CDrom, to mp3 lossless, which i think can be done anywhere if apps exist, but what would really be something as an equivalent ripper for DVD or HD DVD :) that'll be awesome , and sold as a way to "backup your HD-DVD" to your NMT.

Really what does or not other media player this is not the place to chat about it. x7 can do millions of things and we are not posting in other post that is not related.

good and bad things are being publish.

you need to understand that this is not a only media player its a media entrainment system. it does a lot of more things that view movies and listen mp3. as we publish before the firmware is being updated with new features and bugs be fixed. Measy is used to update the firmwares very often. and they fix issues that users request.

by the way if someone wants to criticize any device:

1 - First compare 2 devices with the same hardware.
2 - Second before criticize buy the device. So you can speak for your personal real experience.

im tired of seen post of other devices and someone says that the ones he sells are better based in any real fact.  What  i have seen  most of the players has the same hardware so the difference will be the soft how it is implemented. and have in mind that can be updated.

to the people that consider audiophile or videophile if you realy are what you are saying please buy a expensive hi end player we are talking about Bang & Olufsen, Bose or any hi end product. be seriuos before critize. also this kind of people should be thinking in original media and not pirated if they realy are so demanding-

Post by: terminator on Nov 29, 2011 at 11:19 AM
new little bug that i noticed. is when you connect the player to you USB and use it like a hard drive. it does un mount from the android. And when you un plugged from your computer it does not auto load again i have to reboot the device.

Also it is common to have the file system corrupted. because when you turn off the device it automaticaly shuts down and does not power off as it should.

this same issue has allready e8hd media player.

Dear Tatubias,
For the Measy X7, we've released a new FW, but not released online yet, maybe you can check and test:

I've already tried it, & given my feedback to Measy.

1.  Sign in to Google always fails , although Market is installed in this version.

2.  Gallery displays photos from external HDD in very poor resolution (as noted in my earlier post)

Tatubias,

The link is the same that I sent you (which Measy sent me) !!

I've already tried it, & given my feedback to Measy.

1.  Sign in to Google always fails , although Market is installed in this version.

2.  Gallery displays photos from external HDD in very poor resolution (as noted in my earlier post)

But please do try it & see for yourself.



I thought that you sent me the android market. i will be testing it and will be letting know the news.


1.  Sign in to Google always fails , although Market is installed in this version.

'Sync Accounts' is already activated in Settings -> accounts & sync.

I have tried everything.

I already have an Android phone that is also set-up, without problems, on the same wifi network as X7, without any problems.

i have just installed the new firmware:
http://depositfiles.com/files/b2yvsbg9v (http://depositfiles.com/files/b2yvsbg9v)

Findings: (updated) reupdate 05-12-2011

1) It does boot faster.

2) I did access market though the icon that is in the second desktop from the right.

3) Movies are showing the subs ok (UPDATE:i have tested with other subs and i still see chinese characters)

4) Music is auto loaded to the default media player ;) it does auto load the music on the hard drive. im testing today and it is not showing me all the music y need to search it on the hard drive.

5) images using gallery are still being watched very low res (this should be fixed)

6) some others improvements i have noticed  im still investigating.

7) Android market is installed. is not working as expected. some times it takes time to make it connect and shows very few apps.

the device first boot is in Chinese you will need to config it in your language and then reboot the device.

i will be posting updates.

i was able to scale the cpu to 800mhz this are the steps that should be following.

first of all you will need to have the device rooted. as we explained before.

Antutu CPU MASTERS
This apps make the scaling to 800mhz ( the devices does not allow to make a scaling higher)

(this is the application screenshot) not the actual on my device.

http://www.megashare.com/3760619 (http://www.megashare.com/3760619)


Antutu Benchmark
Shows information about the hardware if you run this app first you will see that the cpu is 600mhz then when you run antutu cpu masters and reboot the device you will see the benchmark cpu at 800mhz.

oi will be testing the device if it hangs with this new update.

update: i did un rar a file of 2gb and listen music and did not hang or make the music cut. also a was able to watch 720 or 1080 files and did not had any issue.

will be updating.

OK, let me explain  :D

When you want to connect to market, you have 1st sign in to your google account (or create it if required).
This is done only once.

You said you had already installed Market in the old firmware, using your earlier steps. So you had already signed in.

Now, with the new firmware, after installing, did you just click on market & woosh! you were in market, or did you again first have to sign in like you did in your old firmware.

I mean, did X7 'remember' your sign in details from your old firmware ?

when the device is flashed with the new firmware all old information on the memory of the device is deleted so you need to start from Zero.

An application that i tested to un rar files is Unrar Pro 1.5b

it is a very basic application but dose the job.


(http://www.apktops.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Unrar-Pro-1-200x300.jpg)

Download:http://www.apktops.com/wp-content/plugins/download-monitor/download.php?id=6088 (http://www.apktops.com/wp-content/plugins/download-monitor/download.php?id=6088)

note: what i have noticed is that if the file name and the directory where you are unraring the file has spaces it does not do the unrar so you will need to rename the folder an the file.

the test i did was a file about 1.4gb and it took 12 minutes to unrar the file. also i was able to here music with any issue during the unrar. ;)

I have being investigating a little there are other rar manager i will be doine a better research on this

update: i did test other file archivers to unrar and did not work was not able to unrar the file on the same directory or it hang the application, etc. the test was on files of 700mb or biggers.

Fact it states in its box it works, doesn't that suffice? Why do you need to install , when it can readily support in a simple browser test?

i think it became with flash 10.2 and did install 10.3 and did work perfect also today i installed flash 11 and did work too as expected.

about the web test yes i did it on http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ (http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/)

my question realquestion or doubt was if the player works with adobe air applications. i did install it and download some games and they did work too :D

as we know adoble flash is not going to be supported any longer by adobe it still have long life. but adobe air is what is going to replace flash so i was interested in learning about it.

Yes I'm aware of that :).

I was trying to find a clue as to why it refused to work for me.

The only difference seems to be that you had previously enabled market using your 5 step method.

I was just wondering if that had anything to do with the new firmware working for you & not me .....

Well I can't test anything now till I get my X7 serviced from Measy ...

May I add that you are doing a great job testing & helping other X7 users !

Sadly, this is what Measy should be doing. 

They should hire you as an international consultant !! :D

I had already done that.

Measy had sent me the same update.zip earlier.

The new firmware has Market installed.

but .... sign-in to google always failed.

Tried everything possible, but sign-in never  worked.

Here is a good app to backup all your apps & data !

      MyBackup Pro

Backup all your apps to sdcard (then you can transfer to USB/HDD etc). Even settings of the individual apps are backed up.

It creates a folder :  backups -> apps in SDcard.

Then in case you upgrade firmware, or format/change your SDcard or even your X7, no need to re-install all the apps one at a time.  Install only Mybackup pro first.

Ensure the earlier backup file is copied to SDcard (to the same path), then run mybackup, and restore all your apps & settings just as they were !

Here is a link to it:

Thank you for the app. it is a good idea to make back up before installing new firmware. yesteday i did spent some time reinstalling software. and today i was to investigate how to develop a scritp to auto install all the app if i copy them into a pendrive. but  MyBackup Pro should do the job.

Here it is an other back up application that is good.

Titanium Backup Pro ★ root 4.2.1

• Completely reworked Danish translation.
• Updated translations.

EXTREMELY powerful tool. Backup ALL apps, Market links, remove bloatware & MORE!

☆Over 2.4 million users, 23+ languages!

You can do 0-click batch & scheduled backups. You can move any app (or app data) to/from the SD card.

File sharing over windows network.

I finaly did install the Samba server. it is realy easy to implement the only issue by the moment is that the file sharing is only thought wifi and not network. i will be sending an email to the developer so they can update the software so file sharing is done thought ethernet.

NOTE: The media player should be ROOTED. (check older post to know how to do it)

(http://www.apktops.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Samba-Filesharing-1.png)

Current Version:110602m

Requries Android:2.0.1 and up

Size:1.9MB

V110602m  update:

# Improved compatibility with wifi tether/AP mode.
# Pressing ‘samba’ logo toggles between Enabled / Disabled mode.
# Rebuilt binaries to fix largefile (>2GB) support.
# Added setting to force portrait / landscape / automatic display orientation for tablet users.
# Added setting to control popup message display after Enable/Disable.
# Added setting to control Samba Icon & Info display in System Notifications.
# User Interface response improvements.

(http://www.apktops.com/samba-filesharing-110602m.html/samba-filesharing-2)

Access your Android device over wifi as a Windows shared folder.

* Samba filesharing server for Android.
* Your Android device becomes visible to other Windows (& SMB compatible) computers on your network.
* The ‘external’ storage in your Android device is accessible as a network shared folder.
* Copy files and folders to and from your Android device using drag and drop.
* Customizable username, password, Windows workgroup name, and device network (NETBIOS) name.

Requirements:
* Your Android device must already be rooted.
* Superuser 2.3.6.2 or later installed (available on Market).

Troubleshooting & further info:
* http://tinyurl.com/SAtroubleshoot


(http://www.apktops.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Samba-Filesharing-3.jpg)


Notes:
* On the first run, make sure you catch the SuperUser Auth request to allow the Samba Filesharing app root access.
* If an update from an earlier version fails, try a full uninstall (either from the application manager of your Android device, or the file sharing app ‘Menu -> Settings -> Uninstall’ option), then re-install from Android Market.
* If you experience problems accessing your device, be sure to try all three methods: Network browser, specifying \\name, then \\ipaddress.
* HTC owners: Due to a bug in the wifi setup utility (supplicant) in some HTC Android releases, your device may not appear in Windows Network Browser or be accessible as \\name. Access using \\ipaddress instead.
* You may see ‘com.funkyfresh.samba’ remain in the Android process list even though you have disabled it from auto-starting. This is normal – whenever the WIFI interface transitions up/down the app needs to run temporarily to check its settings as to whether it should start/stop the filesharing server, after that, its done. Android will kill the inactive process if your device is running low on memory, otherwise the process remains inactive in memory for faster loading next time you launch it.

Hey, thanks for the Samba Filesharing app. Good find !

For some reason the Samba app link always goes to the home page of Apktops (at least for me).

Hunting through radio stations with a dial can be fun in a nostalgic sort of way.

With TuneIn Radio Pro, you can enjoy the best parts of radio without the technological limitations, wherever you take your Android device.

one new thing that i have realize on the firmware that has provided terminator is. when you connect the mediaplayer to your notebook the hard drive is not unmounted from the android device.  ;) thats a good one.

so you can access the hd while you are using android.


i still recomend to keep with the V1026.rar firmware version until they release a official update.

Post by: tatubias on Dec 17, 2011 at 01:20 AM
i have found the key information to bouilt you own FIRMWARE for the measy x7 mediaplayer. (it does work with other amlogic boards, etc. (use this at your own risk)

Setting up Your Machine

To build the Android source code, you will need to use Ubuntu.

On Ubuntu Linux (32-bit x86), please make sure you have the following:

* Git 1.5.4 or newer and the GNU Privacy Guard.

* JDK 5.0, update 12 or higher. Java 6 is not supported, because of incompatibilities with @Override.

* flex, bison, gperf, libsdl-dev, libesd0-dev, libwxgtk2.6-dev (optional), build-essential, zip, curl.


  $ sudo apt-get install git-core gnupg sun-java5-jdk flex bison gperf libsdl-dev libesd0-dev
                 libwxgtk2.6-dev build-essential zip curl libncurses5-dev zlib1g-dev



For additional information on setting up your environment, please visit [url[http://source.android.com/source/download.html[/url]

If your Ubuntu version > 9.04, you need add one software source to install JDK5.0.
Open System -> Administration -> Software Sources
Select "Other Software", then click Add button,

input "deb http://mirrors.163.com/ubuntu/ jaunty main restricted universe multiverse"
"deb http://mirrors.163.com/ubuntu/ jaunty-updates main restricted universe multiverse"


Getting the Source Code

To download the code, you will need to install [http://source.android.com/source/git-repo.html Repo].

Repo is a tool that makes it easier to work with Git in the context of Android. For more information about Repo, see [http://source.android.com/source/git-repo.html Using Repo and Git].

To download, install, and configure Repo, follow the steps below:

1. Create a bin directory in your Linux home and add it to your executable PATH
  $ cd ~
  $ mkdir bin
  $ export PATH=~/bin:$PATH

2. Download repo script and make sure it's executable
  $ curl http://android.git.kernel.org/repo > ~/bin/repo
  $ chmod a+x ~/bin/repo

3. Create an empty directory to hold the working files
  $ mkdir ~/mydroid
  $ cd ~/mydroid

4. Run "repo init" to initialize the repository to point to Amlogic Android source code repository.

   If you have a bare Amlogic MBX reference board, do the following:

      $ repo init -u [email protected]:platform/manifest.git -b froyo-amlogic

   If you have a Amlogic MID reference platform, do the following:

      $ repo init -u [email protected]:platform/manifest.git -b froyo-amlogic-mid

  The "-b" option allows you to specify the branch of the code that's appropriate for the target platform you have.
  
  You will be prompted to enter your name and email address during the initialization.
  
  A successful initialization will end up with a message such as
  
  repo initialized in mydroid

5. Now you are ready to check out the source code

  $ repo sync
  
  For more about "repo sync" and other Repo commands, see [http://source.android.com/source/git-repo.html Using Repo and Git].

6. How to identify the board version for Mbox

   The version of the board you have is printed on the PCB next to the Amlogic processor.
  
   There are three version of Meson boards:
      
      * Meson board_AML_8726-M 2010-11-18_v1.1
      
      * AML_8726-M_DEV_BOARD 2010-10-11_v1.0
      
      * MBOX_8626M1_V1.0 2010_07_19

7. How to build kernel and rootfs for different version of board

   1) Meson board_AML_8726-M 2010-11-18_v1.1
      
   This is the latest v1.1 Meson board. This board has 4K page size NAND.
  
   To build kernel for this board, you should do:
  
   $ make meson_refc01_defconfig
   $ make menuconfig
  
   Make sure following config is selected
  
     System Type --->
       Meson platform Type --->
         Support M1 8726(for arm board) platform(machid=2956) --->
           ---Select Nand Flash Type--- (4K Page Size of Nand Flash)
  
   To build Android rootfs, you should do:
  
   $ cd <android.bsp.root>/device/amlogic/m1ref
   $ vim BoardConfig.mk
  
   Search for TARGET_AMLOGIC_MKYAFFSIMG_TOOL and set it to use mkyaffsimage4K.dat shown below:
  
     TARGET_AMLOGIC_MKYAFFSIMG_TOOL := $(HOST_OUT_EXECUTABLES)/mkyaffsimage4K.dat

   2) AML_8726-M_DEV_BOARD 2010-10-11_v1.0
  
   This is the first version (v1.0) of the Meson board. This board has 2K page size NAND.
  
   To build kernel for this board, you should do:
  
   $ make meson_refc01_defconfig
   $ make menuconfig
  
   Make sure following config is selected
  
     System Type --->
       Meson platform Type --->
         Support M1 8726(for arm board) platform(machid=2956) --->
           ---Select Nand Flash Type--- (2K Page Size of Nand Flash)
  
   To build Android rootfs, you should do:
  
   $ cd <android.bsp.root>/device/amlogic/m1ref
   $ vim BoardConfig.mk
  
   Search for TARGET_AMLOGIC_MKYAFFSIMG_TOOL and set it to use mkyaffsimage2K.dat shown below:
  
     TARGET_AMLOGIC_MKYAFFSIMG_TOOL := $(HOST_OUT_EXECUTABLES)/mkyaffsimage2K.dat

   3) MBOX_8626M1_V1.0 2010_07_19
  
   This is the original evaluation board. It has a big form factor than the newer Meson board.
  
   To build kernel for this board, you should do:
  
   $ make meson_refc02_defconfig
   $ make menuconfig
  
   To build Android rootfs, you should do:
  
   $ cd <android.bsp.root>/device/amlogic/m1ref
   $ vim BoardConfig.mk
  
   Search for TARGET_AMLOGIC_MKYAFFSIMG_TOOL and set it to use mkyaffsimage2K.dat shown below:
  
     TARGET_AMLOGIC_MKYAFFSIMG_TOOL := $(HOST_OUT_EXECUTABLES)/mkyaffsimage2K.dat

Building the Code

1. Get Uboot
   From http://openlinux.amlogic.com/wiki/index.php/Arm/Boot_Loader

2. Build Android rootfs
   To build the files, first select the target board configuration
   
   $ cd ~/mydroid
   $ . build/envsetup.sh
   $ lunch
   
   This will show you a list of available build configuration. You can select m1ref-eng as the build configuration for M1 reference platform
   
   $ make -j8
 
   The '-j' option allows you to do parallel make. '-j8' will spawn 8 jobs in parallel.
 
   If you want to see the detailed compilation command used, do
 
   $ make showcommands -j8

3. Build Kernel
   Download build system scripts:
   [http://openlinux.amlogic.com/download/linux/ARM/build_system/arm_ref-build_system_2010-10-12-svn1960.tgz arm_ref-build_system_2010-10-12-svn1960.tgz]

   Download eabi toolchain:
   [http://openlinux.amlogic.com/download/linux/ARM/gnutools/arm-2010q1-202-arm-none-linux-gnueabi-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.bz2 arm-2010q1-202-arm-none-linux-gnueabi-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.bz2]

   Setup build environment:
   $ tar xf arm-2010q1-202-arm-none-linux-gnueabi-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.bz2
   $ tar xf arm_ref-build_system_2010-10-12-svn1960.tgz
   $ vim arm_ref/env.sh
   Add "export PATH=/home/android/arm2010-q1/bin:$PATH"
   Modify "export ANDROID_KERNEL_DIR=/home/android/mydroid/kernel"
   $ cd ~/arm_ref
   $ . env.sh
   $ cd build_kernel/android_build/
   $ cp ~/mydroid/kernel/arch/arm/configs/meson_refc01_defconfig kernel_config
   $ make menuconfig
   Enable "General setup -> Initial RAM filesystem and RAM disk (initramfs/initrd) support"
   Add "/home/android/mydroid/out/target/product/m1ref/root" to Initramfs source file(s)
   $ make -j9
   $ make modules -j9
   $ cp build/drivers/amlogic/ump/ump.ko ~/mydroid/out/target/product/m1ref/root/boot/
   $ cp build/drivers/amlogic/mali/mali.ko ~/mydroid/out/target/product/m1ref/root/boot/
   $ make -j9
   $ cp build/arch/arm/boot/uImage ~/mydroid/out/target/product/m1ref/

4. Build update package
   $ cd ~/mydroid
   $ . build/envsetup.sh
   $ lunch
   select m1ref-eng as the build configuration for M1 reference platform
   $ make otapackage

   You can get m1ref-ota-eng.android.zip in ~/mydroid/out/target/product/m1ref.



Recovery Mode

*MTD partitions on Nand Flash

    MTD partitions on Nand Flash

Offset    Size         Name    Description
0           4MB         uboot    MUST >= 4MB
0x400000    2MB         ubootenv    At least 0x2000
0x600000    2MB         recovery    At least 2MB

  You can find them in ~/mydroid/kernel/arch/arm/mach-meson/board-8726m-refc01.c

*Build Recovery System
 
   At first you MUST build all android rootfs codes, then build it.
   $ cd ~/arm_ref
   $ . env.sh
   $ cp -r build_kernel/android_build/ build_kernel/recovery_build/
   $ cd build_kernel/recovery_build/
   $ cp ~/mydroid/kernel/arch/arm/configs/meson_refc01_recovery_defconfig kernel_config
   $ make menuconfig
   Enable "General setup -> Initial RAM filesystem and RAM disk (initramfs/initrd) support"
   Add "/home/android/mydroid/out/target/product/m1ref/recovery/root" to Initramfs source file(s)
   $ make -j9
   
   You can get recovery file (uImage) in ~/arm_ref/build_kernel/recovery_build/build/arch/arm/boot/.

*Input Recovery System

   At the uboot command line prompt, issue the following command:
   # set bootargs console=ttyS0 mac=${ethaddr} mem=512M a9_clk=800M
   For example, your TFTP Server is 10.8.10.8
   # set serverip 10.8.10.8
   # dhcp uImage
   # bootm

   Recovery system only support update.zip on FAT partition, so please rename your update file name to update.zip.

Running the Android on SD Card

You can run Android from SD card on the M1 reference board platform.

You will need to prepare the SD card as follow:

  $ sudo fdisk /dev/<your sdcard,for example sdd>
  Command (m for help): p
 
  Disk /dev/sdd: 1977 MB, 1977614336 bytes
  64 heads, 63 sectors/track, 957 cylinders
  Units = cylinders of 4032 * 512 = 2064384 bytes
  Disk identifier: 0x00000000
 
  Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
  /dev/sdd1            1          30       60448+   b  W95 FAT32
  /dev/sdd2           31         957     1868832   83  Linux

Format the partitions using the following commands:

  $ sudo mkfs.msdos /dev/sdd1
  $ sudo mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdd2

Download a kernel the Android release from [http://openlinux.amlogic.com/download/linux/android/release/ here] and placed it in the FAT32 partition:

  $ sudo mkdir -p /mnt/fat32
  $ sudo mount /dev/sdd1 /mnt/fat32
  $ sudo cp uImage.android /mnt/fat32

Unpack the Android rootfs tarball prepared earlier onto the EXT2 partition:

  $ sudo mkdir -p /mnt/ext3
  $ sudo mount /dev/sdd2 /mnt/ext3
  $ sudo tar jxfv out/target/product/m1ref/rootfs.tar.bz2 --numeric-owner -C /mnt/ext3

And the final steps:

  $ sync
  $ sudo umount /mnt/fat32
  $ sudo umount /mnt/ext3

Now you can take the SD card and insert into the M1 reference board, at the uboot command line prompt, issue the following command:

  # setenv bootcmd 'mmc init;mmcinfo;fatload mmc 0:1 82000000 uImage.android;bootm 82000000;'
  # setenv bootargs 'console=ttyS0,115200n8 root=/dev/cardblksd2 rw rootfstype=ext3 init=/init mac=${ethaddr} rootwait'
  # saveenv
  # boot


Running the Android on Nand Flash

*Run Android on Nand Flash, after you burn the whole Android system.
  At the uboot command line prompt, issue the following command:
  # set bootargs console=ttyS0 mac=${ethaddr} mem=512M a9_clk=800M
  # set bootcmd 'nand read ${loadaddr} 800000 400000;bootm'
  # save
  # boot

Make the custom update package

*To build the files, first select the target board configuration
 
  $ cd ~/mydroid
  $ . build/envsetup.sh
  $ lunch
 
  This will show you a list of available build configuration. You can select m1ref-eng as the build configuration for M1 reference platform

*Copy the custom files to rootfs

  $ cd out/target/product/m1ref/
  $ mkdir -p package/SYSTEM
  $ cp ~/Gtalk.apk ./temp/SYSTEM/app/
  $ ../../../../build/tools/releasetools/aml_update_packer package update.zip

  You can use the update.zip to update your Android now.

For getting a clearer view of the posts that i have done before you can access to amlogic wiki site:

http://openlinux.amlogic.com/wiki/index.php/Arm/Android (http://openlinux.amlogic.com/wiki/index.php/Arm/Android)

To have a better understanding of how to tweek your firmware you can watch the following videos.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_H4AlQaNa0 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_H4AlQaNa0)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFqELLB1Kk8 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFqELLB1Kk8)

The videos provided had a great explanation on how to develop your own generic andoird rom. if you want to play with measy rom you can read all the documents provided and watch the videos.

Some notes:

1 -  the default player does play back Subtitles srt with a MKV movie.
a) you only need to copy the file into the same directory with the same name.
b) then open the movie. goto the menu,
c) click con ... ,
d) then click con T and enable the subtitles.
e) there you can change the size and color.


2 - When updating the firmware you do the steps as required and usb or SD is not read so device is not flashed and i gets only to the flash screen.

Standard Steps to flash the device
I placed the update.zip file in the SD card and started the device.
Then I clicked on firmware upgrade link.
The device got rebooted and stucked at recovey mode.

The error message is
Android system recovery <3e>
E: can't mount /dev/block/cardblksd1
(invalid argument)
E: Can't mount SDCARD:update.zip
and it keeps saying Can't mount /sdcard

Dont panic it only did not read the SD memory.

Some times does happends that. you only need a pendrive formated into fat32 and Then copy the update.zip file into the root directory. the plug it into the device. reboot it or select the otion to read the firmware from the usb.

Thats all the device will read the usb and flash the device as expected.

for thoes that does not have a wifi dongle on the device. not all dongles are compatible with the device it seams that Realtek ones are compatible.

i have a realtek RTL8191S and its detected by the device and works perfect.

Steps to make wifi works:
0 - connect wifi dongle to the usb
1 - go to the android menu
2 - go to settings
3 - go to wifi network.
4 - enable wifi network.
5 - configure wifi network.

Hi, What App to download that can display movies in a gallery format? The one where you are shown the cover art of the movie in a gallery? The default player only display the movie in a list like in a file browser.

Also for music player, what app is best? I want to have a playlist, or the ability to play music files continuously. I'm having trouble with the default music player as there is no option to add folder or files? How does it detect music files?

Tnx!

About the app that shows the movies like in gallery format really dont know. i was not interested in this specific issue. but go to https://market.android.com/ there search the app and then tested let us know how good i is. then search it in Google adding apk after the name of the application and download.

About the music player you can use basically any other player like moboplayer; Meridian Media Player; winamp; and there are TONS of this kind of apps.

in the default player music is scanned into the devices.

^^Music are finally being displayed. I think it just needed time to "load" the mp3s. I can now see the files in the music player. I'm still finding a video player though that displays in gallery format.

Question about the firmware, which firmware should I install (and are they the same)?

This one:
http://www.measy.com.cn/download/download.php?en=en&class1=13&class2=47

Or this one:
http://depositfiles.com/files/b2yvsbg9v

Also will updating firmware delete files in the Hard Disk? Should I unmount the hard disk first when updating or is it not necessary?

about the music appear listed i did realize the same you need to wait until is discovered.

this firmware is the second released by measy
http://www.measy.com.cn/download/download.php?en=en&class1=13&class2=47
it has a lots of improvements compared to the one that is installed by default.

this other http://depositfiles.com/files/b2yvsbg9v is a non official firmware released by measy, it does work ok. and brings with android market. and other little stuff. but i dont know which are the bigs changes. i think the next update of the firmware will be based on this firmware. you can test it and playit and let us know which are the differences.

^i went ahead and installed the non-official version.
I tried to install the official version but after installation, the firmware version still displays 1.05... something (not sure about the exact number of the old version) but its not 1026.

Anyway, another question, is there a safe way to remove the usb stick like in windows? Or do we just plug it out immediately. Sometimes when I plug the usb out immediately, the system will hang occasionally throughout so I have to restart.

1026 is a date: October 26. and the firmware changes are minimums by the moment you will not noticed unless you investigate a lot. go to settings --> about the phone (the last option) --> in the new screen you will see at the end the version of firmware that you have installed. (number of compilation.)

example for 1026 version: it says MASTER.eng.ricky.20111026.121812 check if the not oficial firmware says that is newer that that date. if not keep with 1026 version.

how to unbrick the device if does not boot as expected. if you install an application and this application make the player does not boot you can do the following so you can recover the system.

Follow the steps it should work.

1 - Turn off the player
2 - In the back it is a reset button press it don't release until i say
3 - Turn on the device
4 - It will take you to the Flash firmware screen
5 - Release reset button
6 - Use the remote control select set default factory settings or re flash with the firmware.
7 - Will restart the device as new

1 -  you don't need to re format the hd you can use the old one that you have. the player does not bring a format hd option so you willl need to do that on  your pc.

2 - the remote controller has a button to change the out put from HDMI to AV. hdmi is the default. it is the one that is located on right of the play pause button.

keep posting with your findings so we can learn more aboút the player. also is very recomended to upgrade the firmware.

buy any wifi dongle with the chipset realtek RTL8191S. it should work

you can buy online with free shipping in. deal extreme or focal price.

as i posted before i had some issues that the device that was not reading very well the ntfs partition.

by the moment what i did to fix it. was to connect the Hd to my pc, or you can do it though the BLUE usb connector.

then when is detected by the pc you can run chkdsk <drive> /f and fix or correct the issues on the devices.

then reboot the mediaplayer and you should be able to see all files as expected.

1. I'm also having issues with my internal HD not being read. Though I am not sure if its NTFS or FAT32, but everytime I boot the player, it doesn't read the HD. I still have to do several restarts until it reads. It's kinda frustrating. I tried to plug the disk in my PC, but it gave several errors during boot that's why I can't determine if its NTFS or FAT.

What is the BLUE usb connector?

2. Anynway to revert to the old firmware? The recent one (the unofficial one) doesn't show the "Update" button anymore.

is the difference in CPU between X5 and X7 significant as far as future proofing is concerned. X7 uses the 1G Cortex A9 processor while X5 uses a 750mHz CPU i think. although the latter can handle 3D while the former cannot.

1 - The devices reads FAT32  and NTFS partitions so you should not have any issue to read it. you can try fix the HD partition running the chkdsk command on your pc.

The blue connector is the one that the X7 device has on the side and it is an usb. plug the x7 to the pc and check which is the drive letter of the harddrive and run chkdsk command.

EXAMPLE:
D:\Documents and Settings\dirienzv>chkdsk f: /f
The type of the file system is NTFS.

CHKDSK is verifying files (stage 1 of 3)...

2 -  i have installed the 1110v firmware and i can see the FW upgrade ICON to update the device.

if you dont find it and you want to downgrade it. you can turn off the device. press the RESET button located in the back (keep pressed until i say). start the player. you will see a update screen. un press the reset button. now you can re install the new firmware.

is the difference in CPU between X5 and X7 significant as far as future proofing is concerned. X7 uses the 1G Cortex A9 processor while X5 uses a 750mHz CPU i think. although the latter can handle 3D while the former cannot.

If you want a complete mediaplayer solution by x5 i has greats options. and also you can use andoird. if you want to play arround and have a mediaplayer you can buy x7.

x7 cpu is scaled to 600mhz you will need to up scale to 800. but it does never reaches 1ghz as is published.  (unless they release a new version of the firmwre that unlock the power to 1ghz.

just got a wireless usb network adapter. do i have to download the and install the driver to able to use it? is this plug and play to our measy x7? coz nothing happen when i plug it.

you need to plug it only it does not use any driver. (the dongle should be compatible with the device you cant use any dongle. please check earlier posts we have already covered this point ;) )

1 plug the wifi dongle
2 go to the setting
3 go to wifi settings
4 enable wifi
5 adjust wifi (configure your wifi network)

if the device does not allow to enable the wifi dongle it is probably that it is not compatible with the x7

@mrjohn yes you can use the media player as a usb Hard drive.

do the following if  it does not work.

1 - shut down the media player
2 - plug the player to the PC (using usb)
3 - turn on the player
4 - wait until it starts-
5 -  check witch is the drive on the windows machine
6 - run chkdsk <drive> /f
7 - reboot media player.

if not connect the hard drive to the pc (put the drive as secondary so it does not boot from it). then run chkdsk on it.

a wifi dongle with RTL8818 CHIPSET should also work (this info was provided by measy i did not test it)

did that dongle work?

if you are using the web browser to access the gmail account you should no have any issue.

if you are using the gmail application you should register the account first.

go to settings
the go to accounts
then register google account.
you should be using the latest firmware to be able to login. It is the firmware that has the market the v1110.

or if you dont have the market install google framework then you will be able to register you account.

if you dont have google framework you can check one of the previous post there i explain how to install google market. and there it is the google framework.

some guy from india did happened the same.

try first web surfing a little to be sure that  you have connectivity to the internet.

then in the Launcher go to the second desktop on the right. there you will see a MARKET icon. click on it.
register a new account or log with yours.

if it does not connect try doing that or registering various times. until you can get connected. that happened to me the first time then i did never had any issue on sync with google.

other thing you can do is try to register the account if does give you an error close the application and try to open again and register again.

1 you should have installed firmware V1110 or have installed the market and working.
2 remember the market is not implemented as it should so it is not showing all the apps ont expect much about the market.

as i comment before about samba file server that by the moment does not support the ntfs partition. i had sent some time ago a email to the developer of the application. today he contacted me and ask me to send the logfile of the application. if we have luck for the next update will be fixed ;) :D

also i did try to explain that if wifi is not on. the software shows the message that you should enable wifi to work, and it does not work using ethernet connector.

Little review about Downloading torrents

Finally yesterday i decided to down load a 11.1gb also i downloaded other about 7.7 gb and other about 700mb, all of them did download really fast, and i did not have any issue about downloading files over 4gb. i had used T-torrent client. it is fast and stable. Downloading the files did not affect the general performance of the device.

T-torrent full V0.8.6: http://www.apktop.com/wp-content/plugins/download-monitor/download.php?id=6058 (http://www.apktop.com/wp-content/plugins/download-monitor/download.php?id=6058)

(http://www.apktop.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/tTorrent-3.png)


There are other bit torrent clients, you will need to download and test them and see what is better for you. some of them does not support downloading files over 4gb by the moment.

other bit torrent clients:
aTorrent: did not tested here it is the link to download it. http://www.apktop.com/wp-content/plugins/download-monitor/download.php?id=3194 (http://www.apktop.com/wp-content/plugins/download-monitor/download.php?id=3194)

(http://www.apktop.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/aTorrent-PRO-2-180x300.jpg)


aDownloader ( this i have tested i did like it very very much but by the moment does not allow you to download files over 4gb. i have reported this issue to the developer so i hope in the next release will be fixed.

you will need the SD card installed (minimun)
then you will need to configure ttorrent to download the application into a directory inside the HD.

If you want to put ip filtering into Ttorrent you can do the following.

1 - Down load the IP filter pack from: http://www.bluetack.co.uk/config/nipfilter.dat.gz (http://www.bluetack.co.uk/config/nipfilter.dat.gz)
2 - Copy it into /sdcard/torrent (don't uncompress it copy it as nipfilter.dat.gz)
3 - open T torrent
4 - Go to settings
5 - Go to network Settings
6 - Click on Enable IP Filtering.
7 - Select the path  /sdcard/torrent (it is already added by default)
8 - Restart the Ttorrent application.
9 -  When ttorrents it restart it pops ups a message thats says that filters are loaded.

note: if you are more paranoid you can use this other list http://www.bluetack.co.uk/config/pipfilter.dat.gz (http://www.bluetack.co.uk/config/pipfilter.dat.gz) remember to update the name of the file during the configuration.

SCUMM VM Otjher Killer app for the olders one´s ;)

ScummVM is a program which allows you to run certain classic graphical point-and-click adventure games, provided you already have their data files.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v323/trueneutral/Blog/scummvm.jpg)


The clever part about this: ScummVM just replaces the executables shipped with the games, allowing you to play them on systems for which they were never designed!

(http://scummvm.drunkencoders.com/shot4.jpg)


ScummVM supports many adventure games, including LucasArts SCUMM games (such as Monkey Island 1-3, Day of the Tentacle, Sam & Max, ...), many of Sierra's AGI and SCI games (such as King's Quest 1-6, Space Quest 1-5, ...),

(http://mobiputing.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/scummvm5.jpg)

Discworld 1 and 2, Simon the Sorcerer 1 and 2, Beneath A Steel Sky, Lure of the Temptress, Broken Sword 1 and 2, Flight of the Amazon Queen, Gobliiins 1-3, The Legend of Kyrandia 1-3,
[/center]

(http://www.planete-aventure.net/legende-baphomet/images/bs1_scummvm.jpg)

many of Humongous Entertainment's children's SCUMM games (including Freddi Fish and Putt Putt games) and many more.

Download link:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/scummvm/scummvm-1.4.0-android.zip?download (http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/scummvm/scummvm-1.4.0-android.zip?download)

1 -  download the zip file it has about 15mb
2 - uncompress there you will see a lot of APK files
3 - install scumvm.apk
4 -  the install the apk that will support the game that you are interested to play example: if you want to play lucas arts games you will need to install also scummvm-engine-scumm.apk

if you wan to play kyryandia you will need also to install scummvm-engine-kyra.apk

5 - download the game you are interested and copy it into the SD card.
6 - run scumvm and add a game.

 UPDATE:
Input Controls
Touchscreen

The touchscreen can be used in two modes: direct mode and touchpad mode. The default mode is touchpad mode.

When in direct mode, the mouse cursor moves to the touched point on screen. In touchpad mode, the mouse cursor is independent of the touched point, it is moved relative to its current position - like on a touchpad.

The Android version of ScummVM doesn't have an input configuration dialog yet, but as a temporary workaround, touchpad mode can be toggled with the "Mixed AdLib/MIDI mode" checkbox on the MIDI tab in ScummVM's main options dialog. Restart ScummVM after changing it.

Tap + movement: Mouse movement
Tap without movement: Left mouse button click
Tap held for >0.5s without movement: Right mouse button click
Tap held for >1s without movement: Middle mouse button click
Double Tap + movement: Drag and drop

On devices supporting multitouch:

Hold down one finger, tap with second: Right mouse button click
Hold down two fingers, tap with third: Middle mouse button click

The 'Fullscreen' settting controls whether your games are stretched to cover the whole screen, or whether their aspect ratio is preserved.

The 'Graphics Mode' can be set to 'Linear filtering' if you'd like smoother scaled graphics.

Other Killer game is APPARATUS

Build a complex machine to perform a simple task.

Apparatus is a game about setting up simple mechanical structures to
move one or several marbles to the goal.

“A real life-sapper. Get into Apparatus at your peril – you will lose hours of your life!” – LifeOfAndroid.com (Score: 9.5/10)
Connect cables from batteries to motors, build bridges, set up teeter totters,
swing with ropes, build vehicles, or just let the marble have a happy roller coaster
ride to the goal!

Use the hammer or the wrench to connect planks, wheels and other objects together.
Use the control panel to control your creations, be it a monster truck, a mechanical rifle or anything YOU can imagine!

Creativity is essential in the gameplay Apparatus. If you don’t have the patience to figure
out the challenge levels, why not just play around in the physics sandbox and build whatever
comes to mind? Upload and share your levels in the community section or download and
comment on other players’ levels.

(http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SAyDtARD04o/Tg0tjyTJt5I/AAAAAAAAAJg/rIzP40kX8IM/s320/apparatus.jpg)
The early levels will teach you how to play the game and go through some basic concepts.
The more you progress the more freedom the levels provide, many levels can
be solved in many different ways.

Every time you complete a level, you can go into freebuild mode and modify the level
however you like. If you make the level better, or just harder, you might want to
upload it to the community section and let other people play your modified level.
EXTRA FUN ON TABLETS!

CUT THE ROPE: killer game

(http://www.droidapk.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/unnamed1.jpg)


Cut the Rope is an award-winning physics-based puzzle video game for handheld gaming platforms. It was developed in 2010 by Russian developers ZeptoLab and is published by Chillingo.[1] On iOS, it uses the Crystal and Game Center social networking services. On Android, it uses Scoreloop social networking services. In 2011, it was followed by a sequel, Cut the Rope: Experiments, published by ZeptoLab themselves.

(http://cdn3.staztic.com/screenshots/cut-the-rope-10-1.jpg)

The object of each level is to maneuver a piece of candy into the mouth of a green cartoon monster called "Om Nom". The candy hangs by one or several of the titular ropes which the player can cut with a swipe of their finger, and can also be manipulated through other objects including bellows and floating bubbles.[2] Each level pack introduces new objects.

Bluetooth by the moment is not supported. i have connected a Bluetooth dongle and was not detected by the device. If the keyboard uses Bluetooth and drivers are not needed it may work. but i have not tested.

as toys4geeks says you can use a wireless 2.4 ghz keyboard its a good option. and they work.

On Satrurday (7th Jan) I received my X7 repaired from Measy. Seems to work OK now.
Now I can access Market, but there is one issue with Market.

It seems X7 is not a recognized device in The Market.

So when you browse apps, very few apps are displayed.

If I browse for 'Games' I only see 1 app, 'Solitaire'.

This is because Market cannot determine if a particular app is suitable for X7, as the specs of X7 are not registered with Market.

If I try to go to the site & browse apps, I see them all, but when I click install, I get 'There is no valid device associated with this email ID' & the 'Download' button is not shown.

Of course I have logged in with the same gmail ID i have on my device.

Measy needs to register X7 with the Market & Android community, or it needs to 'spoof' a phone or tablet whose specs are similar to X7.

Hi,
As I have mentioned in my earlier posts, there are issues with Android Market (not) recognising X7.

I have given up trying to use Market for apps.

Just try to google for the app you require. That's what I do. Flash  app is also available for Android directly from Adobe site. Just google for the link.

Also you can refer to some of the older posts to see how to install apps from other sources.

Lots of links are also available on this thread for useful apps for X7.

For video, consider using Mobo-player. Its the best. Again, no use going to Android market for that. Just google for the apk file!

Use alternative market by the mometn i have allready posted some of them in earlyer posts.

you can use

apktops
appplanet
sliceme
appbucket

and a lot others.

Thank you very much roycejp for the tip ;).

I have installed Z4root this application does root your Measy x7 Mediaplayer. this is a very good news. due we can install much more applications.

(http://www.image-share.com/upload/1082/124.jpg)

When you click to root your device it provides you 2 options:
 a) temporary root
 b) permanent root.

i have done the permanent root. it takes about 5 minutes to do it. so be very very patient. Then the application says that is going to be rebooted.

Changelog

V1.0.0 : Initial Release
V1.1.0 : Will now open the application settings page if USB debugging is not enabled.
V1.2.0 : Unroot support, fix for devices with small max file size such as I5700, binaries in xbin rather than bin
V1.2.1 : Back to /system/bin for support for some devices. Fix for QVGA devices.
V1.2.2 : Adverts added (can be permanently disabled with menu option). Hopeful fix for devices such as Moment (Did not work).
V1.3.0 : Force unroot option, temporary root option.

DOWNLOAD:
link V1.3.0: http://www.multiupload.com/S3ROTEEMM3 (http://www.multiupload.com/S3ROTEEMM3)





when i downloaded z4 root i got two files

*z4root_1.3.0.apk
*z4root.1.3.0.apk.part

which one will i install in my x7?

The file with the apk extension. All Android application files have only apk extension.

with a 3mb ADSL connection using bittorrent with good amount of seeds it takes about 18hs to 24hs.

all depends in the internet connection and if you are using. Remember that bittorrent speeds depends on the amount of seeds.

for bittorrent i recomend ttorrent.

which one will i install in my x7?

*z4root_1.3.0.apk  (is the complete File)
*z4root.1.3.0.apk.part  (its a part of the complete file)

you will need to wait untill all the files is downloaded as expeceted then the PART fiel will dissapear.

you will use the APK file to install the software. but wait untill all the application is downloaded complete.

Post by: tatubias on Jan 10, 2012 at 07:44 PM
@ALL

The extension format that supports android for the applications is APK.

If the apk is corrupted will not be installed. you will try to install it but you will get an error saying that the apk i bad or something like that. so dont worry if its corrupted you are not going to be able to install it.


When you download a file into your pc and get that XXXXXX.APK.PART that means that this file is NOT the complete one. when it finished to download it you it will appear the complete name example:XXXXXX.APK and the  XXXXXX.APK.PART will disappear.

 also the  XXXXXX.APK.PART  does NOT MEANS that the file is splitted into various files it only means that is a temporary file untill the it is downloaded complete.

i did test some too i have the same issue you can test with screen.

you can test with 1240 x 690 and let us know your findings

UPDATE: im testing it should be smaller, try using a small one for cellphones then let us know

update2: it seams that its using a square wallpaper. we will need to look more around to find out which one will work.

try using the icon of the second desktop on the right to log in into google frame work. you can test doning some of the stuff that i already posted intalling the market.

your issue is not the market is that the GOOGLE FRAMEWORK does not connect. so try installing it form the 2 post that i did. (remove the one you have allready installed. the location is /system/bin/ (google framework.apk) rename it to googleframework.apk.bck.

then re isntall the google frame work that i have allready posted. and reboot the device.

keep in mind the maker basicaly does not have any application. so dont waste time in trying to installit or use it.

FINALLY i did "hack" the Market. was all about the the fingerprint generated by Measy was not registered or was a engineering version. i did did studied a little and did took me 10 minutes to make it work.


1 - i did reflash my device with the latest version of the player that we have posted the v1110 (the one that has the market)

2 - rooted the device with z4root

3 - this step is to do it more easy. install Absolute system (this was already posted search and install)

4 - open absolute system

5 - click on build.prop editor

6 - click on backup build.prop (if is need to recover you can)

7 - scroll down untill you see the line : ro.build.fingerprint=something else.

8 - click in that line and edit it. put the following line (no spaces):

verizon/voles/sholes/sholes:2.1-update1/ESE81/29593:user/release-keys

9 - exit editing mode

10 - click in save

11 - reboot your device.

12 - register your account in google.

13 - access android market.

note2: if the device is stillshowing afew app try going to manage apps and  cleand the cache and cleand the data of the market app. then it should work.

Measy needs to register X7 with the Market & Android community, or it needs to 'spoof' a phone or tablet whose specs are similar to X7.


@roycejp

what is the finding of measy about your x7 now that it can able to access the android market? hardware or software issue? i guess we have the same problem but i dont know how to send my x7 to measy. the seller told me that he have to check it first if its cover by warranty.

i dont know why you cant create the account into google.

if you have installed the v1110 or if you installed with my tutorial you should be able to install it. and login.

to configure by hand you will need to go to the applications. theg co to the configuration.
there it says accounts & XXXXX and there you can  register your google account.


you can send a email to [email protected] and ask them to fix your issue.


i did contunie playing with the fingerprints, last night and now i cant use the market either LOL :P i ill try to fix it :D

i recommend to use the apk applanet (applanet.net) its a good market also you can use the webpage apktops.com

note: dont know if this may not make connect the app to the market but make shure the time of the device is set as it should.

update: if the market says cant connect (retry) wait 5-10 minutes the it should connect.

Well, the Sales person doesn't know much about the repair, and the tech person takes days, sometimes weeks to reply (recently I had a query & I got a reply after 1 month ... shocking).

I personally believe that it was a (at least, partly) hardware issue, which they sorted out, otherwise how can the same X7 which was consistently  failing on Google signup, now magically sign-in ?

I don't believe there is a pure 'soft' solution to this issue. Try replacing the X7, or repairing it thru' Measy.

I bought my X7 directly from Measy.

Did you buy directly from Measy ? If not, first ask your seller if he can help.

I personally am in contact with Melissa of Measy.
Her email:  [email protected]
Her Skype ID:  measysales2  
Website:  http://www.measy.com.cn/index_en.htm (http://www.measy.com.cn/index_en.htm)

I have found her to be very kind & helpful, & prompt in replying.
She is almost always available on skype.

First, chat with her on Skype & see if there is a solution you can try yourself.

Please note that you will have to bear the shipping cost.

   it is not a hardware issue, it is only that this version of android is not registerrd and probably did not pass the compatibility test that goógle requet, more thatit may not pass i think they did never release a final version of the software and the one that is instaled is an engenering version, the fingerpint that i have added make veleve the market that is an other device, i will be trying to get a newer fingerprint so more aps are shown.

some one that has not tweaked the device can install antutu benchmark and let me know how much did they score?

im doing some tests and i don't remember how much were in the original one.

don't put the SD test. because that will give you more or less point and we really not interested in the SD that you have installed.

Tatubias,

I agree with you that X7 not being recognised is 100% a software issue, not a hardware one.

But the issue here with yajkram24 is that the he is not able to sign into, or even add his google account, similar to what I faced.

This problem got solved after I sent my X7 to Measy for repair (for my USB port failure).

Now I can sign in to Google just fine  , but now the other issue is that X7 is not being recognised by Market, which is of course a software issue   :)

To day i was playing around with the build.prob file and i did some tunning on it.

The are the output for the tests that i did. Basicaly i re install the firmware 1110 and id did teste plain. then installed cpu master and scale the cpu to 800 and then i did add some lines in the build.prob file.

Firmware v1110 (baseline firmware)

Antutu benchmark 2.5 Score(no SD card Test): 1758


Firmware v1110 CPU Scaled to 800mhz Profile ondemand.
Antutu benchmark 2.5 Score(no SD card Test):1973


Firmware v1110 CPU Scaled to 800mhz Profile ondemand with Tatubias Tweeks.
Antutu benchmark 2.5 Score(no SD card Test):2220


Tatubias Tweeks. The following lines were added into the build.prob file.

#Render UI with GPU
debug.sf.hw=1

#Better scrolling speed
windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec=150

#Video Acceleration
video.accelerate.hw=1

#Changes default date format to day-month-year
ro.com.android.dateformat=dd-MM-yyyy



update: basicaly how did done the update was:
1 -  install / configure samba file sharing
2 - copy build.prob to the sd card
3 - make rename the file build.prob in the system directory to build.prob.BCK
4 - enter from my pc to the android
5 - edit the build.prob file.
6 - copy from the sd card to the /system directory
7 -  change files attirbutes to rw-r-r to the build.prob file

reboot.

when updating the finger print and it does not work you can test the following.

1.  use ethernet connection not wifi dont know if this realy affects but every time i was not able to make the market work as expected i was using wifi (this for the first time only untill all apps are being shown. then you can use the wifi)
2. Open market, agree to TOS.
3. Go to manage applications, all tab.
4. Go to market, clear cache and force stop (DO NOT CLEAR DATA)
5. Go to Google Services framework, clear data and force stop
6. Open market, and you should get an error. (This is good)
7. Restart x7 again.

Post by: tatubias on Jan 17, 2012 at 10:48 AM
Can we update our x7 from froyo 2.2 to gingerbread 2.3?

by the moment it is not a firmware update to 2.3. so i was i dont know. what i know is that they a realeasing an update to 2.3 but i dont know if it will be compatible with our devices.

if they dont change the hardware or had hardware changes i think it should not be any issue in an update to 2.3.

i hope they release that version or newer i know 2.3 is works more smoth than 2.2

also i did some research and there are already devices with amlogic same cpu that the x7 that are using android 4.


update: geniatech will be releasing the ICS firmware update on march. they have shown it on CES this week.

here it is a video demo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cuAuM4BF0bg&feature=player_embedded#!

Post by: tatubias on Jan 17, 2012 at 07:54 PM
Last night i did start experimenting with others provides of firmware like GENIATECH android 2.3.x

but when you try to install the new rom(update.zip), the the rom installer it does open the update.zip file then it seams that looks inside the /system/build.prob and checks some values located inside that file like the ones im showing below.

Example:
ro.product.name=stvm3
ro.product.device=stvm3
ro.product.board=stv_mbx_m3

And when it does detect that is a stvm3 device it does not allow to install the firmware.

the steps to follow are.

1 - edit this build prob file and update it with the measy information.
2 - then make a valid update.zip file
3 - install the rom. (probably this will brick the device :P)

but still i cant access the market. server error: retry

that error is not a error from the device its an error from google. if you google you may get a solution. but it happends to every body.

you can do the following tests
test 1

1 - factory reset the device (the device will be wiped out) it will reboot
2 - when it does start wait 10 minutes until the devices starts (have the ethernet connected)
3 - go to Applications/Settings/Accounts & Sync/then turn on Backround data
4 - go to the market icon. and try to register your account.



----------- try this on your own risk -------------------
test2

you can try this other option
you need to have the device rooted.

1 goto /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/ and delete settings.db

2.restart the device.
re register you google account.
---------------

test3
with the device hard reseted you can try this.
I had to try to access the market, than click skip and then click sign in the next time it popped up saying it was required....

--------------

test4
1 open a youtube account in yout ube using your pc. then
2 install youtube application on the mediaplayer use your account that you have registede in your pc. then check if the google account does sync.

in all cases allways check to have selected Background data traffic (in the account and sync)

For my surprise our Measy x7 2.2 andoird is not going to be up datable to android 2.3.it seems that needs some "soldering" to be fix.

MEASY is not fixing all the issues that we have already sent to them. This is the second time and the LAST that i buy a product from MEASY. The support respond to you the first 2 times you send an email then it relay sucks.

They don't care about the client. it seems that they does not know enough to develop a device.

The SPECS that are posted are FAKE the cpu does not get to 1ghz it is scaled to 600mhz, and the memory only shows 198BM (they say it has 512). They can replay anything on this that am saying simply the device is not working as they sell it.

also i can believe how they can show their face into CES 2012 if they provide this kind of support. in USA they make pay the company's that lies to their clients or does not provide the adequate support.

Only buy this product if the Sellers can validate that the devices has andoird 2.3 installed on it. if not DONT BUY IT

100% Disappointed

Kind regards Tatubias.

I can feel your dis-appointment. Sadly, for Android 2.2 to become Android 2.3 is really only thru hardware tweak (soldering). The batch that comes in Phil late last year are now all at Android 2.3.

If your only in Phil @tatubias, I would have replace your X7 to 2.3. Actually Measy is willing to do that too seeing all your support and post of their X7.

technically it is how do you say. but it seams that they made something wrong in hardware how it was implemented. so you cant install andorid 2.3

technically similar hardware is already working with andorid 3. but this can even being udpated to 2.3.

measy has confirmed that the firmware update to 2.3 will no t be compatible with our device.

Hi again..so can you give me a sample or device that is running in android 2.2 and I can upgrade it to android 2.3 onwards. Because I was planning to buy cellphone with android 2.2 which is cheaper and I've plan to upgrade to Android 2.3..

I also was looking for Android 2.2 Media Player from other brand knowing 2.2 is much cheaper and later on upgrade it to Android 2.3. ONLY thru firmware and not hardware.

Any suggestion? Than YOU in advance.

What more I can say... I bought the wrong player from my hard earned money. Even a legit customer support they can't give.

You can try call your seller Annot and have your unit replace to Android 2.3.4

did someone got a solution to: when the data is corrupted in the HD due the device it when it shuts down it cut the power and not do the standard shutdown process?

what i do i connect the hd to the pc and run chkdsk but i want a solution with an application or something that can be run inside of the device.


options that i have in mind.
1 - fix the shut down. and get a way to shutdown as it is supposed.
2 - get an app to fix ntfs partition.

I think its a good idea to add  an eject button  to unmount the partition (s) manually as a workaround and then select power off manually.
Usually neglected is the power button issue on the remote seems to disregard unmounting filesystems properly, and worse even the running services like torrent and samba.
It triggers corruption of disks over time, prompting file systems check.

I am running beta test  with fs eject function (albeit frOm another brand ) but my point is  it's doable. Much as how we eject USB stick from our OS .

I already talk to the seller by txt MSG abOut replacing my unit with android 2.3. But all he can promise is ask his supplier. My point is yes it is working when playing movies, but if there is something wrong in updating to android 2.3 and accessing the market it is not consider as good android device. That's why I got this device not just playing the movie, if that all I want then I should get the cheaper one that plays only movie and nothing else.

Btw is the new x7 with android 2.3 already upgradable? Or still the same hardware?

they will release it with 2.3 directly.

about 2.2 the issues that are not solved yet are.
1 - hd get data corrupted due the shutdown.
2 - screen desktops gets out of the screen in 720 and 1080
3 - images cant be seen they realy shown in very very very low quality.
4 - cpu is not 1ghz
5 - memory is not showing 512mb or near its only showing 198mb
6 - market does not work or only showd 2 applications or games.
7 - subtitles that has special characters like á í ó ñ or others are shown with Chinese symbols.
8 - and many other things that i cant recall now.

let be serious here, there are already similar devices with Android 4. and we are trying to make this guys fix this BASIC issues or put android 2.3. they are a joke.

Post by: tatubias on Feb 07, 2012 at 02:28 AM
this was an open letter that i have sent measy long time ago. this were some thought that i shared with Measy. believe what, they did nothing :P

First of all the concept of media player is like old by now (play audio video files view photos). we have to take advance of possibilities of technologies that is offering today.

With ZERO investment in hardware you can add some extras that NO other media player has. as you can see the concept of media player today is not enough i has turn over a entrainment home center.

The possibility of using Android it really opens Hugh possibilities to the company and the market. Watching movies, listening to audio viewing photos it not enough. People has the "necessity" to be connected today the possibility to of web browsing, facebook, twitter, any Instant messenger line yahoo, microsoft, skype, really opens the possibility to your devices.

What i have noticed is that no media player has the option to ad 3g dongle ( this is very simple to add only add things in the firmware (you dont have to program NOTHING, every Chinese cheap table has this) and has a very big marking option for your devices. today wired communications are basically dead. 3g carries has 3 or 4 more lines that wired ones so this FREE upgraded for you to add to your devices will be a plus. also 4g networks are being deployed all around the world and you only will need to update the firmware to support new 4g dongles.

Other detail that i have noticed is that no media player has enabled the Bluetooth option. Its an other firmware update that can be done ZERO cost HI IMPACT on promotion in marketing. imagine, you can do web calls or use skype using a bluethooth headset. with skype or gtalk you will be able to buy some credit and talk around the world to hardline or wireless one for less money. so you can promote the device possibilities. Also no one media player has this option. for you it has no cost. the owner will need to buy a Bluetooth dongle. or you can provide one they are very very very cheep. image you provide also a possibility to connect the device to cellphones though Bluetooth and transfer files very simple. also you can here music using the Bluetooth headset in you home not having the tv on or with hi volume.

Add webcam possibility. this item i have not investigated much due it there are not much stuff out there. but could be interesting to add the video call option. obioulsy this it has no cost the owner of the device will buy a usb web cam to use if is interested. hugh marking impact too. tablets has webcam it is only to study how this work and implement the option.

update: there are allready media players and tablets that support webcam external webcam.

Add the samba server, i have noticed that some devices on the market does not have installed samba this is a basic stuff to share files over the network.

Add VNC server so you can control the media player from a notebook.

This kind of software are all around the web and are free. the issue is that most of them need to have the media player ROOTED.Selling the media player rooted could be a good marketing strategy so the users can really have a more complete experience of it.

As an example of things that could be done is to tweek the host file of the device so most of Advertisements are blocked (they are realy a pain in the .......) this can be done by hand or you can install an application called adfree

This is an important item you should be directly developing on android 4 it has more advance opportunities and good thing that can be used. also is orientated more to "tables".

UPDATE: enable joypad support. (this can be done updating the kernel and adding some libraries. Android 3.0 has this option already included. imagine playing mame games NES Snes and any other console games.

update: Adding support for USB dongles DVB-T / ISDB-T / DVB-S/DVB-S2 / DVB-T2 digital TV receiving.


This update has hardware cost :P

it is very important that the client gets a very good experience when un boxing the device. so how it is packaged the quality of it or how it is opened its important for the subcontinent of the client. think in apple products when you un box you having a experience that you tell (or publish) to all your friend how it was your first impression.

Also the controller should be hi quality. it is the interface between you and the device it has to feel like a symbiotic relationship. as an example Measy provide really good controllers, they look and feel very expensive and hi quality. For this kind of devices that has android a remote controller with gyroscope should be provided by default. it enhance the experience in a 1000% and it has a HUGH impact in mind of the client and friends. FV-1 media player has this kind of remote controller. that is a good example. Also having back light in the controller is excellent option.


note: update notes were added in this post.

one reason why your PC would not see the disk when HD player is hooked via the USB slave port is if its disk inside is formatted as ext2/ext3. Windows has no native support for it, you need a Ext2FS

@toys4geeks, it's formatted as NTFS. it used to be in my PC since I connect my PC's HDMI to my LCD TV when I watch movies. Now that I have my X7, i removed the HDD and placed it in the X7.  Now, I want to add some more files from my other HDDs in my PC to the HDD in the X7, but I can't access it.

update!
now that weird! i tried to plug it to my PC again, just now (8:22AM) and I am able to access it now in my PC. however, I am unable to browse it thru X7. I mean, in the x7 menu, when browsing, the drive is unavailable. so it means you can't play movies while it's plugged to the PC? tsk tsk tsk...

is that during playback or is it during OSD menu only? in some HD Player systems, zoom allows you to calibrate the XY to fit your screen full.

Any solution sir on static hissing sound when playing mkv files with dts or ac3 sound? I'm using hdmi cable from player to tv. I tried two different hdmi cable but still I got the hissing sound in KVM files with dts and ac3. Mkv files with aac works fine.

Already have the 2.3 version, but I returned it to the seller coz of sound problem. When  playing mkv file with dts or ac3 sound format it has a static hissing sound, but when I play mkv with AAC sound format it play ok. I think the player have a codec problem.

basicaly do a factory reset. this will wipe all the data. and configuration. you will need to reinstall the aps you want.

steps:
1 - Under Settings,
2 - go to Privacy Settings and
3 - Factory data reset.

@devilbhoi
No I think you go to settings-manage apps,- maybe all apps (I'll have to check) select the relevant app and click on reset defaults.

I did this when I had selected the default launch screen and then later I wanted to change the default launch screen.

I have already posted about this issue. some times the hd get the data corrupted so the data cant be fixed. what you need to do is connect the hd to the pc and run chkdsk <DRIVE> /f as usual.

 but what i have discovered. it seems that is a little diference between win7 (i think vista too) to the windows xp chkdsk version.


if you fix the disk with chkdsk form xp the android player will read the hard drive as is expected. but if you run form windows 7 or vista you may not be able to make it work. it seems that has something difference in how they fix the partitions.

what i have noticed was that i fixed the hd with windows 7 and i was not able to make it mount on the x7

then i run chkdsk in x7 and i noticed the following "fix message" /CHKDSK - "Correcting errors in the uppercase file".

then i re connect the hd and it was able to read all the data. so may be hat uppare case the issue of incompatibility.

something to keep in mind.

Measy X7 on Android 2.3 is on hold right now because of the hizzing sound in MKV and AC3. An updated firmware will be release soon to address the problem.

Thanks!


please wait until the update, YEAHH RIGHT!!!! we already know that story. im still waiting a reply form measy, lololololoololol.

they did not do a good job in 2.2. and we can see that 2.3 has important issues too.

they should hire a monkey to code the firmware, it would do a better job.

this guys are a joke, they dont even test basic stuff of the devices that they sell. BASIC STUFF!!!! we are not saying somthing odd and strange situation.

I'm optimistic that measy will fix this issue. Coz I already spend big amount money to buy this player. If not il l demand to replace it with another brand of player like xtreamer sidewinder 3.

Thank you very much.

it seams that the issue was not only a soldering issue. they have changed the motherboard of the device.

ro.product.model=MBX DVBT reference board (c03ref)


this tipical board you can see it in the cheaper andoird media players. the ones that cost 90usd.


i love this on this buold prob file. check it:
# ro.build.product is obsolete; use ro.product.device
ro.build.product=c03ref

incredble.

if icons are to big un comment #ro.sf.lcd_density=240  and put 160 instead of 240.

Post by: tatubias on Mar 15, 2012 at 04:01 AM
finally got the firmware that is not designed for X7 but is supposed to be working (OBVIOUSLY it is not PROVIDED BY MEASY, the guy that provided told me that measy is not replaying the email to him either) (Good Job Measy) .

by the moment  the remote controller does not work (YET) (really don't care much you can control the device with keyboard and mouse) but it good be excellent if we can make it work. (if it works i will need to really study a lot how to make the controller works)

im now downloading it i will be doing some research of the file that i was provided.

if does work i will be uploading it so you can test it. but by the moment i don't want to upload to avoid any miss understand.

NOTE: i lightning has strike my house and i got burned the tv and the power supply for the x7. i don't know if the x7 work. only i know is that with the replacement of the power supply it starts :P and usb hard drive can be used. :P

i hope the x7 did not died .:P

this firmware it is supposed to have android 2.3 on the x7 firt version that has the m1ref board.
Title: Re: Measy X7 Android Media Player (DONT BUY THIS PRODUCT) unless...
Post by: tatubias on Mar 15, 2012 at 05:33 AM
The provided rom looks like it is not realy andoird 2.3. but its a different version from the one provided by measy. it is tweeked.

i have provided a possible solution to the guy that provided me the firmware to fix the remote controler. i hope he can test this soon and let us know. i will test this in my device when i get tv again back and if my device works.

here its the download link: http://www.wistarmedia.com/uploads/soft/Android/ensoft/update.zip

use it at your own risk you may brick the device-. i have not tested yet.!!!!

the remote controler in that firmware does not work.  you will need to do some tweeking to make it work i have not received confirmation about that the tweek that i have proposed does work yet.

i will be updating as soon i get some news.

The display config didnt work... Already tried 2 different hdmi cable and different lcd/led... But the problem is in the player... Now if i want to download torrent i have to leave my tv on... And thats waste electricity... Even if i switch from tv to hdmi my x7 will boot again...

In Android the default setting when the screen sleep/off the wifi will also be turned off (to save battery). You need to go to your wifi settings then Advance then change the wifi setting to Always ON.

I think the problem of Measy is that they are not the one who is building their Android OS but the one who manufactured their board and some chinese manufacturers are usually lazy when it comes to firmware support. Android maybe Open source but you will still need the correct utmodules(drivers) and the correct linux kernel version to work properly.

This is really not unusual since I usually modify a firmware from another chinese manufacturer which also use the same samsung arm cpu/gpu as my tablet. I only need to change the bootloader and utmodules(drivers) for it to work properly. This is easy to do if updating from the same base firmware like Android 2.2 to 2.2.## but if your upgrading Android 2.2 to 2.3, the utmodules(drivers) usually will not work because the linux kernel version used in compiling the drivers are old. Those drivers need to be rebuild again using the new kernel.

Next the board version..usually this is really not important. The board usually is Generic enough that a manufacturer can sell it to many OEM and put the id code of the company who ordered.
ro.product.board=m1ref

But the sdk version is important, if the sdk used is not correct eventually some APPS will break or Force Closed...its better if you use the correct sdk version..for 2.3 its better to use 9. The primary reason why this is being change to version 10 is because in the old Market you can have FULL MARKET apps availability if your sdk is v10. But then again some apps will fail..
ro.build.version.sdk=10
ro.build.version.codename=REL
ro.build.version.release=2.3.4

Memory of dalvik is too big...usually 32m is enough... Please remember that ARM CPU/GPU also allocate memory for their own usage so if the stated spec is 512M.. Android usually can only access 320m of memory. In your build Prop for 2.3.4 your heapsize is really to big..better to change to 32m max is 64m..but 32 is enough ..really :)

dalvik.vm.heapsize=128m <-BAD

Since your CPU is AMLogic its safe to say that you can use any FIRMWARE build for Cortex A9(AMLogic) provided you have the correct Bootloader and UTModules.

3G module or usb dongle can actually be used by android..but this setting under Network is usually turned off. you can enable this via your Init.######.rc
setprop au.ui.enable_3g true

you can also set avance hdmi setting by turning it on
setprop au.ui.enable_hdmi_advanced true

shutdown menu
setprop au.ui.enable_shutdown_menu true


FYI
Usually the speed of the CPU is first set by the bootloader and if you have a closed kernel Android really cant speed up/down its speed setting..so its stuck to 600mhz if indeed the spec says its 1ghz

This firmware is not for the x7 it is for other device that has the same hardware. it has being tested and it does work on the x7 the only known issue is that the remote control does not work. i have added here a possible solution to fix the remote controler issue.

download: http://www.mirrorcreator.com/files/JZGTTWXV/update.zip_links


i hope this can help x7 community.


1 -root the x7 it with z4root application . (it was allready posted here in this thread)

webpage: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833953
4zroot download: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=446145&d=1290341328

2 - install "Es file explorer"
webpage: http://www.apktops.com/es-file-explorer-1-6-1-1.html
download: http://dl.apktops.com/app/201202/ES_File_Explorer_1.6.1.1.apk


3 - open Es explorer and configure to be root and mount /system as R/W
howto: ES file explorer go to settings scroll down, at the end you will see Root Settings with 2 options Root explorer and Mount File System check both.

4 - go to directory /system/etc/ there you will find a file called remote.conf make a back up of the file.

5 - edit the file.

get to the following lines and comment all of them.

Code: [Select]
#amlogic NEC remote    new ir_rca_newpic
#new keyboard
factory_code    = 0xfe010001
work_mode          = 1
repeat_enable = 1
release_delay    =    150
debug_enable     = 1
reg_control    = 0xfbe40

key_begin
        0x0F 11
        0x42 2
        0x0e 113
        0x10 4
        0x07 5

        0x14 120
        0x15 121
        0x01 116
key_end
to comment them you only need to add the Symbol # in the first character of the line.

example:

Code: [Select]
#amlogic NEC remote    new ir_rca_newpic
#new keyboard
#factory_code    = 0xfe010001
#work_mode          = 1
#repeat_enable = 1
#release_delay    =    150
#debug_enable     = 1
#reg_control    = 0xfbe40

#key_begin
#        0x0F 11
#        0x42 2
#        0x0e 113
#        0x10 4
#        0x07 5
#        0x40 6
#        0x0b 7
#        0x1D 8
#        0x16 9
#        0x1A 10
#        0x09 97
#        0x04 15
#        0x45 14

#        0x14 120
#        0x15 121
#        0x01 116
#key_end
Then un comment the following lines like im showing you.

Code: [Select]
#amlogic NEC remote (this line should be keept commented)
factory_code    = 0x40400001
work_mode          = 1
repeat_enable = 0
release_delay    =    150
debug_enable     = 1
reg_control    = 0xfbe40

key_begin
        0x00 11
        0x01 2
        0x02 3
        0x03 4
        0x04 5
        0x05 6
        0x06 7
        0x07 8
        0x08 9
        0x09 10
        0x0d 97
        0x0B 103

        0x15 104
        0x1c 109
        0x43 113
        0x1f 123
        0x1e 122
        0x4d 116
key_end
6 - Then SAVE and exit.

7 reboot the device.

if you have luck you will be able to make the remote work.

------------------

The other way you can do this is:

(you have to have the x7 rooted)
1 -  download the file: http://www.mirrorcreator.com/files/0KNK1RJW/remote.conf_links
2 -  back up the original file on  /system/etc/remote.conf
3 - copy the downloaded file tinto /system/etc
4 - chage the attributes from the new file as it was in the original file.
5 - reboot the media player.

i have repacket the firmware that was posted earlyer with the remote contorler fix.

if someone has enough guts to test it. send me a pm i can send the link.

1 -  i dont have any longer the device. due it got burn in a storm.
2 -  keep in mind that this repack may not work and may brick your device ...

so you will need to have more guts that Chuck norri´s :P

here it is a better explained procedure that you can try with the other firmware. source: blrdude39

Just wanted to say that the wistarmedia, update.zip worked out of the box with my Measy X7 (only exception was the broken remote control).

My original Measy X7
HW AMLOGIC MESON-M1 8726M DVBC
RAM 192 MB
INT Storage 2GB
AMLogic M1 Reference Board
Android API Level 8
Firmware 2.2.1

Process that worked for me is the following sequence.
1. This came with the stock firmware that I had updated earlier to v1110 by just copying on to SDCARD and using the FW update icon.
2. Now apply the Z4Root apk and Ghost Commander apk.
This is so that later on you can update the remote controller file
3. Now update with the Wistar update.zip using the Firmware update icon and wait for the box to reboot into the Wistar android 2.3.3 screen
4. From the v1110.zip extract on you laptop from /system/etc the file remote.conf to a SDCard.
5. Connect a regular keyboard (In my case I used the wireless FlyMouse keyboard). reboot box so that it detects and boots into the new UI.
6. Navigate to apps and using ghost commander change options
a. Allow root access and remount as rw
b. Set path to busybox as /system/bin/busybox
7. Now navigate to /system/etc and rename remote.conf on orig_remote.conf
8. Copy from Sdcard remote.conf to /system/etc.
9. Long click on /system/etc/remote.conf and from the busybox dialog for chmod change permission to rw-r-r and owner/group to root/root.

Reboot now and the regular Measy Remote controller should work properly.

we were testing an playing around with some firmwares. this are the quick findings.

1 - Wistar firmware did work as expected. the only issue is the remote control that does not work but you can fix it as we explained before in this forum.

2 -  MBox was able to make it work you need to do some tricks before installing if you install withought any trick you may brick the device. i may be posting the how to later when i get confirmation about if all the hard is working as expectec (wifi, ethernet SADA, etc)

3 - we will be playing around with the Geniatech firmware if  possible to install andoird 4.0 on the x7. by the moment we did not start any test. 

keep in mind this will be slow due i do not have any longer the device because it is burned (the solution form MEASY was buy me one). so i will be working a as consultant with a guy from india.


i still insist,why a media player is expensier Thank a tablet? i will be asking this in the home o nmt forum:P
