CORRECTIVE

Hi guys

May 20132 I bought a U30GT2 CUBE by Hongkongeek
interesting caracteristics
excellent use

February 2014 battery hs
then I received a nonfirmware battery (11000 ma, 7,4 v)
I open the cube
it is a badly recycled one
all the screws are maintained with compound cement
all screws screwed on soft plastic parts
all flat cables are not yet welded but scotched
battery connectors and screen flat cable are scotched with the same scotch
it is impossible to re screws the cube parts
two centring pins of the alu belt re welded

I open a 49 € tablet
no scoth
connectors everywhere
all screws on metalic parts

the cube caracteristics paper is excellent
the cube itself is an obscene material
All problems on the cube come from the very bad quality of the material

A GOOD ADVICE I DON'T BUY ANY CUBE MATERIAL, CUBE IS NOT A FIRM FOR ME
my job research, development, quality, validation engineer

This may be a stupid question, but does this update include the CWM recovery or do you have to install the CWM recovery separate?

And if so, should you install the CWM rocovery first or after you install this firmware.

I'm also a little confused as to why this is being called a firmware, is this a new custom ROM or just a firmware or is it both?

Thanks!

No, unfortunately CWM recovery is not included.

This rom can't be flashed through CWM recovery, so it's not a prerequisite. If you want (and have a need for it), you can install it after you flashed the rom.

It's both Firmware or rom, it's the same thing. These terms are used interchangeably and mean the same thing.

OK, thanks for the response.

So does that mean these are already rooted? No rooting required?

I just ordered mine yesterday so I'm anxious to put the latest and greatest on it. I'm assuming thats the firmare/ROM in the first post of this forum?

But do not load CWM, got it!

As the first post is saying...
Custom firmware features:

root with latest SuperSU version 1.93 (free version)

...

Well, congrats! I bought mine not so long ago (in January), and I've been on stock for 2 hours before I flashed to first KitKat beta Just use the rom from the first post, it's very close in almost every aspect to the Jellybean flavors, but still you'll have the latest and greatest. You can also check out the other thread and DarthJabba version (changelog included in the first post).

Tick "Disable HW overlays" under the Developer options, and flickering should disappear.

Mine too had the flickering videos and little pockets of flickering pixels around the lower edge of the screen when scrolling through the GUI and disabling DW overlays did the trick, Thanks dj, great,

On my cube i can´t run any of the 1800 Mhz overclocked kernels. but can run the faster ram etc.

Antutu score 20400

First impressions the gui seems to be fast enough on Apex launcher but seems a bit slower to open up chrome, facebook & keyboard. On Facebook it is much notchier than before when scrolling.

I have a different problem though, when my tablet is connected to my tv, the picture on the tv flashes off and on very quickly once every 10 seconds or so, any clues? It might have done this on previous ROMs too though but I've only just started to try & use it like this but it´s V annoying!

What´s happened to the Dual resolution option?
