Flashed the ROM according to the tutorial here: http://www.myphone.gr/forum/showthread.php?p=4533949#post4533949

The problem is that after enabling Google Play services (i.e set-up my account) the system at 5 second intervals pops up messages like "unfortunately process android.process.acore has stopped" which is not fatal, but it's very annoying.

Tried all suggested solutions (clear Contacts, Google, etc app data), seems to stop for a while, but after re-entering my Google account data, it appears again

Can anyone tell me if netflix works properly? If it works can you paste me a logcat while it's loading a video please?

Can you give me it's Google Play link, because I can see many netflix apps (which one?).

Hi folks!
Is the battery level problem still there? a.k.a. tablet shutdown at 30%.
Thanks.

No, battery meter is fine on my Fire (QM/Bosch).
I'm typing this with 10% power remaining.

I don't know which one is correct since i can't try it (it's not working here in Italy)
Anyway according to amlogic it shouldn't work in this ainol release.

Sorry, can't help you as I am in Greece and it doesn't work here, too.

Has anyone been able to get a copy of the TM firmware ? - I cant even get the site to load thats linked in the first post

Check the myphone link on the first message, there are updated links for both f/w versions.

Can anyone with a better English explain how exactly this Contacts.apk thing has to be done because I didn't get it from this post. Do I have to tap on the contacts.apk from the app folder after changing permissions to install it or just exit the file explorer and restart.

Just copy Contacts.apk in /system/app using ES File Manager, change the file permissions to rw-r--r-- and reboot.

shoot i wanted to install this firmware to create a 4.2 comp zip with real multi user support, only for the fire but I can't.

I tried following all rules but if I select the "erase nand" thing after it finishes the device is not recognized anymore, if I unplug and replug it to flash the zip without the erase nand thing it fails loading uboot and I have to flash the unbricker.

If I try to flash directly the zip without erase nand before that it stays at 77% for something like 10/15 minutes, after that i turn if off and procede with the unbrick again.

Terrible firmware delivery system.

The system is a bit picky, but it works.
Let's start from the beginning (you can also read my tutorial in myphone.gr using Google translate - see OP).
Start by selecting "erase nand" AND "no hub support". The tricky part is to put the device in uboot loading mode; assuming that you've already installed the necessary AMLburningtool USB drivers, press and hold either POWER+VOL- or POWER+VOL+ until you see AMLtool recognize your Fire. Flash the first part and when it finishes (indicated by a GREEN port icon), press STOP and disconnect the tablet.

Next, uncheck "erase nand" but leave the other option checked (no usb hub) and try the same procedure again (POWER+VOL- or POWER+VOL+) until the tool recognizes the tablet. Then START and flash the actual ROM.

Yes I've tried, it gets stuck, I hit stop, unplug and turn off the device, turn if on with power+vol-, connect to usb (it's recognized as chip M6 and detected on another port), hit start again, uboot failure.

Tried on a native windows 7 (as admin, no av and no firewall since i never use 7) and an emulated xp.

That's the log from xp

Spoiler

current pc version is: xp

When it fails there's no other option then unbricking it since it always goes in m6 chip mode.

They're great in screwing things, I have to admit it. The light sensor is another example, it was perfectly working and now in direct noon sunlight doesn't report more than 10 lux

The cute thing is that if I wanna bypass that *shiny software and flash bootloader.img from that rom it finishes in chip m6 mode too.

Do you have a micro SD card inside when doing thid?
If yes, remove it, as it seems the aml tool hangs at that stage if a MICROSD card is found.

Brightness appears marginally better after a reboot. But I agree, the display is not great. Dim & the colours seem washed out.

Strange, I have a QM-bma Fire and colours are extremely bright.
