This is a generation 2 loader KK build for high-resolution tabs and RTL8188 wifi ;-)

M33Q by Oma KitKat build v1.0

update 05.01.2015:
new hardware revision in the field, called GB: here is the kernel (change in folder rockdev/Images before flash)

– stock 4.4.0 recovery, CWM 6.0.3.1 recovery
– system ext4
– selinux kernel ok #4 preempt 09.05.2014
– internal storage 4 GB
– ethernet support
– init.d support
– gameloft compatible
– USB-Hub enabled
– gamepad compatible (PS2, XBox, …)
– kernel modules (cifs, tun, lan, serial, audio)
– latest hosts, su, su-binary, busybox
– Reboot Menue, sEFix, FX Sound
– Dateimanager HD (Root)
– Nova Launcher

Flash instructions are included in the download pack.

Gen2 loader firmware will frequently generate trouble for the user. So, please read
the instructions carefully to understand how to change between gen1 (v1.24 loader)
and gen2 (v2.10 loader) firmware.

hints:
– to improve UI feeling disable animation scales in developer options
– to improve battery drain set keep wi-fi on during sleep to never
– to get full access to the build enable /system rw in File Manager HD
– to disable su notifications change notification in su app
– to prettify the build use Xposed Framework > Starterpack
– to enable multi-user use the Xposed module Multi User

Be aware: it is your own risk!

My Vido n80rk has the RTL8188 WiFi chipset. However, the dpi is 160 and it's an 8in screen. Do you think this rom will work on that tablet?

No, there is no selinux kernel available for N80RK.

Maybe you can try the latest CM11 build: http://crewrktablets.arctablet.com/?p=3591

Use your kernel and the 160dpi fix.

Hello,

I have successfully installed this firmware on my M33Q. It works well and is responsive. Thanks Oma for this great work !

However, because I have the M33QS (gb version), X axis is inverted. I haven't found an app or a config file to correct it. Is it possible to have an alternate kernel for this version ?

Thanks in advance !

Does it rotate and is it only a wrong orientation?

The screen rotation is ok. The trouble is with the touch screen. If you are in landscape orientation, the vertical axis is inverted (if you touch the top, the system thinks you touch the bottom). Same thing in portrait orientation, but with horizontal axis.

I tried this solution , but adb doesn't recognize my tablet (on windows or linux).

I don't know which one manages the touchscreen. I tried to mount the boot partition (/dev/block/mtd/by-name/boot) but without success.

It doesn't fix it. It changes the way the auto rotate rotates the screen (now the screen is upside down), but the touch screen is still inverted on one axis.

I tried also with fakerotation properties, but no change. Is there a way to list all these properties ?

Fakerotation is only for the bootanimation. Download again and test: http://crewrktablets.arctablet.com/?wpfb_dl=2057

Thanks for your time Oma. Unfortunately no progress with your last patch, it only has an effect on the auto rotate.

I did some research and I saw this in dmesg :

input: ct36x_ts as /devices/virtual/input/input1

But this module isn't in lsmod output. I found some source code here about ct36x_ts module and in Kconfig I found TOUCHSCREEN_CT36X_MISC_Y_REVERSE option. So it could worth a try. Is it hard to create a custom kernel (build and install) ?

Without sources nearly no chance.

Tab should now boot in portrait. Mirrored touch in this position?

Yes, still mirrored in portrait position. But with horizontal axis now.

I will try to compile the kernel. Did you build the one included in your rom ? Or where did you find it ?

I will start with this source code, but if I could have the .config file used by your current kernel, it will make this task easier (/proc/config.gz doesn't exist in your rom).
