*******Latest ROM*********Repack 20130322 Straight copy and paste from Gearslam..

"Here is a rooted version of the new W17PRO JB w17ref.20130322.eng.liu ROM.
I repacked the ROM with supersu and binaries, busy-box has been updated to v1.21, boot.img modded for init.d support, and default language changed to English.
I included an app2sd script to automatically move apps to ext2/3/4 partition on external sdcard if available.
There are two versions one with the governor speed set to 1.32GHz and one at 1.51Ghz at boot. The speed can be edited in /etc/init.d/30cpuspeed.
I have two W17Pros; One runs fine at 1.51GHz the other one only likes to run at 1.32GHz without crashes.

Download link:

I left the install scripts alone. If you don't want it to erase your internal storage, delete "--wipe_media" from factory_update_param.aml before flashing."

Thanks Gearslam.......

Thanks eBait

100% battery bug seems fixed, even without wipe. All should work fine now, game performance indeed seems better then the last ROM.

* Rooted using SuperSU
* Added ES File Explorer 1.62.2
* Added gapps 20120429

* Edited build.prop to indentify as a Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus (P6200) which makes the device compatible with more apps in the Play Store
* Removed VideoPlayer and FileExplorer and ThinkFree (kept TangoC and Host tool intact as they are acctually useful)

Recap how to root, install market and fix market.. thank everyone else for all of the procedures
thought i'd just put it all in one spot...

Download
*Firmware of your choice from above..
*root_your_w17pro.zip http://www.mediafire.com/?a8b7tw8nr2f2ni9
*Market Install.rar http://www.mediafire.com/?9c5gqjdj6rpi7jr
*xmlfiles (1).zip http://www.mediafire.com/?ft28i70alfchc0m
*ES File Explorer.apk http://www.mediafire.com/?hy8o5okp2q2o5xr

extract firmware onto the root of your sd card..(dont unzip w17ref-ota-eng.zuguo.chen.zip inside the rar leave it alone)

put root_your_w17pro.zip onto the root of your external sdcard or somewhere you'll find it.(dont unzip it)

Unzip market install.rar and xmlfiles (1).zip to there own individual folders on your sd card and put esfile explorer on there aswell somewhere you'll find it later..

1. Flash the firmware, it will reboot automatically.(by turning off tablet then hold down volume "-" then "power"... release power then wait it should start flashing....)

2. Power off then take the sdcard out hold down the volume "-" and "power" again to get into recovery. Stick sdcard back in then install root_your_w17pro.zip (use "-" and "+" to move around then "power" to select) REBOOT..

3. go into file browser find and install ES File Explorer open it and go into settings scroll down the bottom and turn on "root Explorer" and "Mount File System" agree with the pop ups then follow below...(this gives you r/w access to the root filing system)
whilst your there may aswell click on view and choose details makes it easier to see file properties..

4. Copy the below files into System/App folder on your device (from where ever you put them on the sdcard)
- GoogleLoginService.apk
- GoogleServicesFramework.apk
- Vending.apk
Click Vending.apk to install, then REBOOT.

you can stop there if you like market will work, but you will be missing some apps...

5. to fix market to get more apps compatible

a. Backup /system/etc/permissions (just take a copy with ES file explorer..recommended just in case)
b. copy the xmlfiles files into /system/etc/permissions (android.hardware.location.gps.xml, android.hardware.location.xml, com.android.location.provider.xml, tablet_core_hardware.xml) agree to over write all of them
c. Make sure the file permission are rw-r-r (with ES file explorer, long tap then change properties on each file..to help you out all files in that directory need to be rw-r-r)
d. Go to settings->apps->all and tap Google Play Store
e. Click on Clear data
f. REBOOT tablet

market still not working

Go to settings->apps->all Go to "Google Play Store" again
'Clear Cache' if it lets you then 'Force Stop' - DO NOT Clear data

back and Go to "Google Services Framework"
'Clear data' then 'Force Stop'

REBOOT your machine.

Then after reboot market is still not working.. then go into..
settings->apps->all google play store again open it but this time clear data if it lets you..

thats it exit open market up, login and you should now have full market access....Youtube...Facebook....WeatherZone...SoundHound..angry birds...skype...etc

would be nice if somebody that new what they were doing could write a script to do all this..or pack it into the firmware..

Mines ok a lot better than 508.. i was just about to downgrade to 425. Its still hot but not burning up like 508 did. Had it in my pocket on standby and it felt like it was burning my leg.. now its just hot not boiling
yeah i recon it feels quicker...

Haven't had it installed very long yet though..wait and see

edit...just plugged the power in and it gets pretty dam hot. also whilst im using it on the charge the touch screen becomes quite sensitive double taps letters its been very hard to type with it plugged in fine with the power unplugged....

Im waiting for my buyed ramos w17pro.

Pls if possible benchmark with firmware 20120514 antutu, quadrant, sunspider important for me. ( linpack single dual core... nenamark 2.. glbench.. can be... )

with and why they not release offical with google play-market ? if we can add...

and what is battery life with 20120514 ( estimated video play... wifi web browsing... )
 
#10 · (Edited by Moderator)
Quadrant


antutu



nenamark 2.2



Linpack -->Single Thread = 37.16 Mflops Multi Thread= 67.71mflops
It's pretty quick, seems to be a little faster than a tegra 2.
I've got a tegra 2 tablet it feels pretty similar in performance.
But it's officially the quickest tablet i own now..

Thanks for benchmarks. Tablet looking enough strong dual core for good pricing. HDMI out and IPS screen are personal selectables.

I'm not know about stability. Im not know about battery life performance. Battery life strongly related with firmware if bad now can will fix. And RAMOS w17 firmware is open source ?
 
#14 ·
Tried the newest firmware, shocking i get a crap wifi connection its useless to me

Cant seem to get any other of the firmwares to flash now, keeps bringing up this error

Failed : less_than_int(1335328345, getprop("ro.build.date.utc"))
Error in (....file name.zip)
(status 7)
Installation aborted

Anyhelp would be great thanks before i break the damn thing
 
#17 ·
Again, thanks for the instructions. It works great.

One thing however does not work on my W17pro, the calendar app won't "integrate" with my Google Account. As a result, I can't sync my Google calendar with my tablet.

Anyone knows what needs to be patched or something like that?

copy and paste it into your system/app directory
then just check your sync..in settings..account and sync..click on your account. and you should see calendar sync..then just sync..

Anyone else getting really bad wifi reception with this tablet ??
Compaired to my nova 7 the speeds are shocking and it wont connect halve the time.

Next to eachother the nova 7 would get 30mb download, the ramos a poor 1mb
