Anyone having trouble with an intermittent hissing/static/white noise sound with videos (mkv) with dts audio? (C93 1f 0303 kernel/0712 CM10.1 ROM) Or is it just me?

you just have to copy a bunch of zips in the microsd and the recovery.img in the "zt-update" folder.
Thanks for that. If I'd read up more on TWRP I might have figured it out earlier.
Just another question. I noticed in the spec for android 4.1 that there is the provision to connect usb speakers (with inbuilt dacs). Can this feature be activated in Zenithink tabs

Regards
It works on Allwinner A31 but it looks like it doesn't work with amlogic, it's up to the kernel but if you wanna try you can have a look here

Bump....

So it's just me?
MKV videos with DTS audio works on everyone else's C93 and C97 on CM10.1?

There appears to be something wrong with the C93-1F kernel or compatibility.
With both the CM 10.1 and AOKP ROM's the tablet is momentarily freezing and going through a soft reboot when waking from sleep or just randomly jumping to the CM or AOKP startup animation before eventually returning to the home screen.

I rolled back to the stock Zenithink ROM for a few weeks and the tablet was rock solid. Re-downloaded the latest files for both the CM 10.1 and AOKP setups and both returned to their buggy pattern. The only common files between the two are the common and compatibility files from this thread. I'd stick with the stock firmware if only the Google store didn't flag some of the apps I use as being incompatible (like Komik reader).

Thanks for the link, I've seen you post it in other threads.... I couldn't get it to work with the MXPlayer custom codec with video HW decoding and audio SW, it only worked for me when both video and audio were in SW decoding mode, but then the video playback with software decoding was really choppy......


It took me all day to finally figure it out, but I finally got HW DTS decoding working on CM10.1 0303/0712 for C93 H6_1f....
Need to remember to try the simple solutions first, and not last....
Just had to use the old working audiodsp_codec_dca.bin codec and rename it to audiodsp_codec_dtshd.bin....


Thank you CT for all your hard work and support!

Now I see a 0726 ROM update, will try it tomorrow.... Good night!

Right now I just wanna rest a bit, it's summer, it's hot.

I'm still unemployed but what I was meaning is that I was giving too much time to something that is "not productive", I prefer going out / watching some tv serie and stuff like that instead of spending all that time once again, I won't do the same mistake again.

The next device will be something with the new aml quad if they ever will be released...
Thank you Christian Troy for all of your hard work....

Hello,

I was wondering if there is support for the C93S already? I've tried to flash my device using the 2F instructions, but have not been successful yet.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!
Hi all,

I´m in the same situation than Eelco. Is the C93S model supported?

I don´t know if there are relevant differences with the C93 2f model or not.

Thanks in advance!!
Just FYI, since CT hasn't posted it in the Zenithink forum yet...

Has anyone gotten Ethernet to work on the new C93A or C93S? The bottom USB port use to be dedicated to Ethernet and had a little network symbol designating it, however now both USB ports appear to only be OTG and both have the standard USB symbol (no Network symbol). The C93A/C93S does not come with the white USB to RJ45 Ethernet adapter either.

The NETCFG command does not list eth0 as an interface, and issuing an 'ifconfig eth0 UP' simply returns "No such device found".

I see under the Settings screen that Ethernet is still available, however upon enabling it and hitting the dropdown for 'Ethernet Devices' it lists no devices.

I've tried it with both the stock CM 10.2 it came installed with, and with flashing the factory Zenithink C93A ROM. I've also tried it on 3 different C93A and on C93S tablets, just in case one was simply a dud.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!
Probably they messed up their kernel. Try a "cat /proc/kmsg" when you plug it, if it doesn't list a new interface then it's their kernel fucked up. Maybe they configured the USB ports wrongly. Do you have a regular USB nic to try with the OTG adapter? (or an OTG adapter with a microUSB female, I guess it's impossible to find one)

Thanks! Frank over at FL is looking into this as well for me, since I've got a large order I will need to RMA if we can't get the Ethernet working. In fact, I'll have to discontinue the entire product line if ZT has stopped supporting Ethernet, as I integrate these into one of our Kiosk products.
the only alternative would be that the dongle is recognized as usbnet0 instead of eth0, but dmesg/kmsg should say something when you plug it in, if it doesn't react it must be the kernel or the hw

let's see what Frank says, I'll do a couple of tests with him
