Hey folks... I've been tinkering with the Next8P for a couple of weeks now, and I've put together a modified firmware for it.
Next8P Modded Firmware w/ Flashing Tool and Instructions
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Modded in this release...
Temp Rooted - su and Superuser.apk provided
I'm still trying to figure out how to correctly unpack / re-pack the boot.img to set it up for a fully writable system.
Contacts.apk, ContactsProvider.apk, and GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk added from SDK 2.3.1 (working)
Gmail, Talk, and Voice Search added (working)
Google Market added (working)
Mount Manager added, and supporting modules added into /system/lib/modules
Make sure to grant it Superuser permissions!
Must add these modules within Mount Manager and it will load them (after a few tries, it's stubborn)
/system/lib/modules/cifs.ko
/system/lib/modules/slow-work.ko
/system/lib/modules/nls_utf8.ko
- if anyone has any suggestions on what scripts I can edit to just load these at boot, that'd be very helpful.
This will allow you to mount a CIFS (Windows) share on your device
I use Astro File Manager and MXVideo Player to stream movies from a Windows share. (Check the market, make sure to pick up the ARMv7 codec that goes with it. Works very nicely!)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm working on a few tweaks for future releases, and hope to eventually get this into a fully writable system instead of being stuck with cramfs.
At some point I'll actually work on updating it so that it's a little "prettier" too...
