Just released Cube U23GT official firmware version 1.06 (2012/12/14) U23GT_v1.06_20121214.zip

Version 1.06 revision history from Cube (translated from Chinese by Google Translate):

1. Updated to Android 4.1 system;
2. solve Aging crash problem;
3. enter the browser sometimes save bookmarks screen flicker;
4. enter the e-mail error phenomenon.

Android build: rk30sdk/rk30sdk/rk30sdk:4.1.1/JRO03H/20121122.205441:eng/release-keys

Linux Kernel: Linux version 3.0.8+ (eyes#0001@eyes) (gcc version 4.4.3 (GCC) ) #325 SMP PREEMPT 2012-12-13 15:59:15 4:50

Here is a custom rooted firmware version of the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean based on official version 1.06

Features:

- root with latest SuperSU 0.99 (free version)

- writable /system partition

- removed most Chinese and unnecessary applications

- increased space for application (/data partition) to 2 Gb.

- updated busybox to version 1.20.2-cm9

- update busybox to version 1.20.2-cm9

- included hackerskeyboard (a 5-row keyboard using full PC key layout) as latest Cube update had regular non Chinese keyboard removed

Rooted custom firmware for the CUBE U23GT: kasty-cube_u23gt-41-106-rooted2.zip

Using Rockchip Batch Tool version 1.5 to flash the firmware.

Please report any problem with this firmware, I can't verify this custom firmware works as I don't have a Cube U23GT to test it.

I'll try flashing it too. I got the 1.05 rooted firmware from here and it works fine, so I guess 1.06 should work fine too. Many thanks for the great job!

A bit of warning following foox2k message. It looks like Cube has removed non Chinese virtual keyboard on some firmwares. It is the case on latest Cube U30GT-MINI and latest U23GT firmwares. I have replaced the missing APK with one from an earlier firmware, but it doesn't seem to be working well, as foox2k reported some errors related to the keyboard. I'm currently having a look at this issue, will keep you updated.

I confirm the Android keyboard problem as well. I tried the firmware this evening, and Android keyboard keeps on crashing. Cannot comment on anything else, except that I've done a full clean using RESTORE option, and worked Ok, less the keyboard problem.

I hope you'll figure it out soon guys. Thanks again for the terrific work!

Just try to install another virtual keyboard like swype and set it as your custom virtual keyboard, i also freeze the original android keyboard with titanium backup, it seems to work fine now.

I have reflashed to 4.0.4 and installed some free keyboard. Now I make the update to 4.1, and see if it works. Thanks for the advice. BTW, why do you need to freeze the original keyboard with Titanium backup?

UPDATE: I have upgraded to 4.1 but it did not keep the keyboad app which I installed previously, so I cannot enter my password for my WiFi. Any ... suggestions?

I have rebuilt a custom firmware with hackerskeyboard as default keyboard, since Cube latest firmware doesn't have one.

I have updated the file in post #1:

kasty-cube_u23gt-41-106-rooted2.zip

Nice Rom but I was wondering if there was anyway to incorporate some tweaks like maybe a CyanogenMod Build or to use some of their tablet tweaks? or maybe a MIUI Build Rom? I would try to do it myself but I really dont know what im doing lol

I like this rom and appreciate it very much though... Didnt mean to sound ungrateful just would like to try more options on this device

Thanks!

PS - I also tweaked the build.prop with Rom Toolbox Lite with the following settings:

wifi.supplicant_scan_interval - I changed from 15 to 180

~~And I tweaked the CPU Control with Rom Toolbox Lite with the following settings:~~

~~I slid the max down to 1200mhz~~

CPU settings not sticking :/

I have been getting really good battery life with the wifi change though!

I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS TO YOUR DEVICE AS A RESULT OF APPLYING THESE CHANGES, IF YOU CHOOSE TO DO SO... lol

Well, the general rule is not to upgrade when everything is working fine Wink

Maybe just wait for next release or the following if there are interesting items for you in the release changelog for the new versions.

Cheers.
