i just got this tablet its running android 2.3 and the kernel version is 2.6.35.7-tcc [email protected] #1 the build number is 20111231.083150
i am used to flashing roms with android for quite sometime and i did hope when getting this tablet there may be some options after getting it to be able to get a kernel to make it run faster...
or maybe any type of custom rom that i can use
i don't expect a huge response but it would be nice if anyone can point me in a direction that may help max this device out...

Anything? Anyone?
Bump since I'm looking at the 777A. I can find information about the 666, but that's only running 2.1 and I never read into the 42 pages information enough to see if there were ROM's or Kernels since I stopped reading when I found out I can at least Z4Root.
i did read in some forums that there is a way to put cyanogenmod on it
Bump as I'm setting up mine now
Let us know how everything goes? I'm looking to try out the Erisin ES778A.
I'm planning on installing the stereo tomorrow (technically later today), so I'll keep you posted. I've been using the pad in the meantime, typical Android fashion and treating it like my phone...installed 90% of the same apps, launcher, etc. I've found hotspot widgets for my phone, so I stay tethered while at work, then WiFi when I'm at home. I wish the screen was a bit brighter, but it's no better or worse so far than the AVIC F90BT I was using before. I've been spoiled w/ AMOLED on my phone, so seeing the same screen emulated on the pad shows the differences in color...and the differences between touchscreen styles.
I've yet to figure out how to root the unit since Z4Root doesn't do temporary or permanent, so I haven't gotten into things like seeing if I can overclock the CPU, increase the SD card reading speed, etc. So far the only real things I've noticed that are odd about the pad is that it has 3 seperate locations for memory/storage, ie NAND, SD (4GB card included) and something else. I don't know if the seperate NAND or whatever is what stores the WinCE portion of the stereo, but once I find/make a backup of the stock software (just in case I brick the thing playing w/ it), I haven't explored into what I can delete to increase it's efficiency. There are apps I will never use on it, so it'd be nice to delete things I don't need and customize it as I have my phone to exactly what I want. I've noticed I can't designate a default browser (I use browser chooser first, then I run stock, Opera and Skyfire) and once in a blue moon it acts as if it can't read the card or if it's not there, but reboot/power-cycling the device fixes it. I have an extra 16GB card I'm going to throw into the unit anyways, so we'll see if that changes that little hiccup.
From what I've read and the emailing w/ the seller of the Erisin deck, the 777 is for the US market and 778 is for the EU market...being the difference in the TV tuner. EU has digital for the DVT-B, so they can tune stuff if, and while we've recently made the switch from analog to digital finally, the 777 as it is won't pick up digital TV like it would in a newer style TV w/ a built-in digital tuner for free HDTV channels. Myself and a co-worker have been looking into a powered converter (he uses one in his house, hooked up to a non-HDTV) that will work with the stereo that won't have a seperate remote for changing channels, but it's not critical to me since I plan on streaming everything anyways....hence difference browsers for different sites.
I thought the 778 had Bluetooth built into the Pad where the 777 has it in the main unit only? That's the only reason I wanted the 778 over the 777.
i ordered the 778a and the main unit has the bluetooth not the tablet... kinda gay
How much did you pay for it and how long did it take to arrive?
i paid $380 or so and it took around 3 days for it to come
Hey I just purchased the ES7835a and I'm looking for the original firmware to restore my tablet. Would you happen to still have it lying around?

Thread bump as I installed a newer version, the ES7035A, into my truck yesterday. The ES777A was OK, but after a few months it had an internal grounding error, so it'd pop the subwoofer on shutdown and power up. After arguing with Erisin about their warranty, I paid for return shipping back to them, paid the difference to upgrade to the ES7035A (thinner pad, Bluetooth in the tablet and deck) and then got PayPal involved after I received yet another one that was broken (a few buttons atop the tablet had failed, ends up the swtich soldered to the board broke off, so I soldered it back on myself) and they refunded my shipping and upgrade charges.
Now that I've got it installed, I'm looking at options for rooting it, seeing about maybe even upgrading to Android 4.x that the newer Erisin versions have, etc. Honestly, I'd LOVE if I could just send the tablet to a DEV here, have you back it up and everything, then custom bake a ROM, kernel, etc for myself and others to improve upon the very slow Android 2.2 that's on the tablet currently. I've read a thread about rooting TC8803 tablets, and supposedly it'll work on my tablet, but at the same time I worry about missing some step, not knowing an acronym or term someone mentioned and bricking the thing. I've baked my own ROM's in 7ZIP in the past, but if I screw this tablet up, I've got virtually NO support after the fact, so I'm not ready to take the risk just yet.
Anyone will to help?

Not sure if you're still subscribed to this thread, but when I had an issue with my ES777A, they gave me a website link that I could download the firmware. What I'd really like to do is get a link from them for downloading their 4.x firmware and installing it on my current ES7035A since it has the same specs as the newer stereos they have which are running 4.x.
My first ever stereo I bought from these guys was an ES777A, which had crashing problems. They gave me a link to download the software from, but I see a "related column" with many other "Update.zip" links, so I'm curious is there is a way to verify which is which in regards to getting my hands on the Android 4.x firmware and if it's safe to install it on my ES7035A.
http://www.ulozto.net/13150056/update-zip
After going through 3 representatives using their online chat, I finally got someone to give me the firmware for the ES7835A that runs Android 4.x. Now I'm curious how I can install this onto my ES7035A which runs Android 2.3.5. I'm trying to get them to send me the link for the ES7035A as well so that maybe someone who knows more than I can compare the two firmwares since the Erisin person I'm talking to insists I can't install it.

I was just watching the Google IO Keynote live stream (I know, everyone's ideal way to spend a nice afternoon), and I saw this company that was getting featured by Android called Ekata Systems who launched their app Tapestry at the show. It seems to be a synchronized slideshow between JB devices with some snazzy twists that I've never seen any app do. It works best when you're trying it with a friend/family member so there are at least two devices (phone and/or tablet) to highlight the features though. You can check out the interview here, and the app here.
Talk about bleeding edge...only available on Jelly Bean. It uses this new feature called WiFi Direct that creates a local P2P network between 1:N clients. I'm playing with it with my co-workers and it is pretty sweet.
Interesting! I can see how it would be good for other things, like presentations for businesses and in learning environments.
Funny you mention that because that was exactly the first thing I thought about, which is showing a corporate presentation, or teachers using it to share learning material with students. I'm sure with some tweaks it can easily be made to address those use cases.
Couldn't wait to try this out, seems like an excellent idea for showing photos on my phone without transferring (I have been experimenting with file explorers and ftp/smb serviers)
Ideal opportunity came this evening when my (stock) Nexus S received an OTA update to JB.
Unfortunately, although Tapestry installed, I couldn't get past the white screen with logo on. hmrph.
Side note: Nexus S upgraded to JB but existing ICS flash/bbc iplayer etc still works.

Does Nexus S w/ JB support WiFi Direct?
After investigation, no
I hadn't realised Wi-Fi direct was a hardware requirement, as opposed to a software thingy. The app page is not clear on that, and dev's website is non-existent as far as I can see.

I dug around a little bit, and I think the WiFi chip in Nexus S *can* support WiFi Direct, but the firmware/drivers have not yet included support for it. AFAIK WiFi Direct support is mostly a driver/firmware update. Sorry buddy. Another hook for the man to extract more $$$ from us to upgrade to new devices.
Yeah it seems that way. I've been checking out the xda Nexus S forums too.
Can't really afford to upgrade phone after forking out for N7. I was hoping they would complement each other very well, which is why I didn't buy galaxy nexus. They do work very well together as nifty phone and muscly tablet, both with JB.
It does. I have one. Root and ROM it. I will try this right now. I'll report back. I'll try with my SGSII as well as it does have it.

So I was watching All About Android podcast on TWiT.tv, and guess who they were featuring on this week's episode?!
to ba fair WiFi Direct was already available since ICS but not used it.... until now:
if you want to connect from android device to android device for transmitting media, check this one:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.budius.WiFiShoot
different from tapstry (that is a presentation app) WiFi Shoot is a direct share app, and works with ICS.
this was developed by yours truly, and I developed it exactly because I noticed there was nothing out there for WiFi Direct
I tested it between Nexus 7, Galaxy Nexus, Asus TF300 and Galaxy SII (stock ICS) and all worked fine.
The most problematic of those were the Galaxy Nexus that not always want to connect, but between N7-GalaxySII was flawless.
At the moment the app just works for photo and video but I'll be expanding more, if you guys fancy helping spreading the word about it, I'm really looking forward to see the downloads explode on it.

If anyone is interested in benchmarks, I just gave a try here using a standard TV episode file (170mb).
From network drive (samba) to Galaxy Nexus via AntTek Explorer: 3m:17s (slow, uh?)
From netword drive to my Winwdos PC: 45seconds (better)
From the Galaxy Nexus to a Galaxy SII: 16 seconds (WOW... FAST)
if anyone fancy doing the same kind of test and sharing the result, just to compare and say that I'm not lying because I'm the developer, it would be pretty cool.
WiFi Shoot not working between 2 N7 devices
I will be writing a WiFi Direct app in the near future so I am trying to understand the technologyby using the WiFi Shoot and the WiFi Direct Demo applications but I'm seeing the following behavior.
If I have no WiFi connections to an WiFi Access Point both applications will perform as expected.
If I have an active connection to a WiFi Access Point both applications will bet to the point where an "Invitation to connect" is issued from one device to the other but once "Accept" is selected the status on both devices stays "Available" and no connection is ever made.
I thought WiFi Direct on the Nexus 7 was supposed to work when connected via an Access Point to the outside world...

I'm trying to use WiFi Shoot between 2 Nexus 7 devices while connection to the internet via an Access point but it does work. I get the application started on both devices an I see the devices listed on the connect screen. I select a device on one screen and I see the "Invitation to connect" on the other screen but after I select "Accept" nothing happens. Both devices status stays available and no connection is formed. If I turn the connection off to the access point the application works.
Any ideas?
Hi guys,
is anyone with interested in beta test the app?
I started a new thread in the development section asking for Logcats if you're experiencing force close.
Also it's a cut down version of the .apk there to test part of the system.

thanks.
i just got an auto-update request a few days ago for Tapestry, and apparently the app now claims support back to Gingerbread (I doubt using WiFi Direct). Now people who are not as fortunate as us to have Jelly Bean devices, ie the rest of my entire family, they are in luck. This app will come in handy for the upcoming holiday season. Not looking forward to seeing the in-laws though (don't worry my wife doesn't read the boards =)

Google released a bad update, I don't know why people yell at others for being upset. We didn't see threads like this at all for 4.11 or 4.12. Its obvious that Google obviously needs to work on this as people don't post threads like this for no reason.

I have almost only good experiences with the 4.2, generally feel more stable and haven't noticed any sluggish behaviour. Only problem Im having is with bluetooth, it won't remember profile selections for my paired devices. So everytime I connect to my phone for internet access I need to go and tick internet access under profiles
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
The majority of people come here for solid technical advice, and some of this discussion hardly inspires confidence. We also need confidence in Google as we have invested in their product and it is perfectly legitimate to raise concerns about the 4.2 update that they pushed to our devices
If you use Bluetooth, for example to tether, then you will have been thrown by the changes to the interface. It was not obvious how to connect, and is actually quite inconsistent in that clicking the device name disconnects which is different to what's needed to connect.
One of the advantages the Nexus has over the Mini is the 16:10 screen great for widescreen movies. It's no surprise then that loss of USB mount (a feature available when many of us decided to buy the Nexus) has hit us hard. Yes there is a paid App which might allow movie streaming but I use the USB to extend storage for the huge game files we must download and so this is a major loss.

Screen brightness is an isolated issue I suspect not caused directly by Android, as most people don't see it.
Everything runs just as fast as 4.1.
Quick Office has a coding problem, not Android.
Stop.
I have only seen 1 real bug in 4.2 and that's the missing December bug.

It is most certainly NOT as fast for me, just because it is ok on your device please don't assume everyone else's is the same!
I actually love 4.2. A little lag here and there, but I owned a Huawei Ascend with like a 500 mHz processor, a Samsung Sidekick 4G with a 1 gHz processor, and a Kindle fire. Seriously Google isn't perfect (but they are damn close) they released an update you don't like, does that mean you should cry and hit the new thread button? No, it means you should just flash 4.1.2 and save server space. Especially when there are 100 other topics exactly as useless as yours. We don't need more of them.

Has nothing to do with Prism, the heuristics on the backlight seems to allow it to ramp up and down faster than it did before. In fact before the N7 seemed to be very stubborn to change levels, now it's a little too fast perhaps.
No matter what version or ROM I'm using I don't use automatic brightness. I use the lowest setting and adjust when I need to.

Hating it and loving it ? - wow these are strong words for an OS. Just like W8 people just can't work out whether its the cool thing to be for it or against it yet even though there's no need to take sides or feel possessive about it - we're all here just users equally dependant upon the working of Google aren't we?
One sure thing though - bugs will iron out but things like the way Bluetooth works now and the loss of USB mount are major hits for those of use dependant on those features for the last 4 months.
USB mounting was never part of 4.1... why are people suggesting it was? You needed root and stickmount or a custom ROM.
Stickmount will update eventually. Stop blaming Google for breaking something they never supported in the first place.

I hope other people are having this issue, and not just me. Here is the pertinent information:
PHONE: Samsung Galaxy S6 G920T, ANdroid 5.1.1, T-Mobile
CAR: 2015 Honda Civic SE
ISSUE 1:
Bluetooth quality seems to fluctuate between "high" quality and low quality. I realize SBC can only achieve so much, but it seems that frequently it switches to something lower than that, and the audio sounds like crap for a minute or two, then switches back to higher quality.
ISSUE 2:
When I connect my phone to my car, calls work fine. Music playback works fine (aside from issue 1). What doesn't seems to work at all is the phone sending track metadata to my car. Instead, it reads back "no title, no album, no artist". It reports being connected to my phone. The funny thing is that this feature DOES work with, and only with, Samsung's Music app. Not Google Play Music, not Spotify, not Plex, not even Milk. It seems that Samsung Music is somehow taking priority on what gets sent for track metadata, and when you are playing something in another player, Music is playing nothing, hence the "no title, no album, no artist" stuff.
Anyone having these issues? I have been lead to believe that Samsung is using the newest and greatest Bluetooth protocols, possibly leading to backwards incompatibility, which would be very unfortunate. Samsung is, of course, playing ignorant, sticking their heads in the sand, insisting that I exchange my phone for a new one, but I've read other people having these problems on other forums, so, I dunno. Anyone able to pitch in?
I've seen the same thing regarding metadata. I've not had the problem with audio quality though.

I have seen them too. I wish there were an easy way to inform manufacturers about these things, instead of us just talking about the issues among ourselves. Samsung support simply told me that my device is defective and that I should exchange it with my carrier, which will probably put me back in the same boat.

Can you verify that the built-in Samsung Music app transmits this information properly? That seems to be the case with me, leading me to believe, actually, that the metadata issue is not necessarily related to a Bluetooth incompatibility.

Goodness, we've got quite the varying combination of tech here >_<
So, I just checked out my phone with my boss's 2014 Ford Fusion, and it worked just fine. Judging by that and the compatibility with your 2011 Toyota Corolla, @serio22, it seems to be an incompatibility with my Honda, which I can hopefully get resolved with the dealer. If not, I will be very sad D:
I've tried to get my setup fixed through my dealer, but they were unable to do anything. I've resigned myself to having to get a new radio if I want all of the Bluetooth functionality working correctly. In my case things are a bit worse because the Bluetooth sometimes fails to connect or may disconnect without apparent cause (much worse with Pandora than anything else). I'll try using the Samsung app to see if it works, though I just froze the thing today to see if that helps with some of my other problems.

I've had issues with my S6's Bluetooth in two cars. Both are VWs, with essentially the same radio, but one was a 2013, and one a 2015. In both cars, my Bluetooth media will occasionally pause on its own for a few seconds, then resume play, then speed up for a few seconds before slowing back down to normal playback speed. It's been happening across multiple apps, with both downloaded and streaming audio. Doesn't happen when I use speed headphones or listen through the phone's speaker.
I do get track metadata on my car radio from Pocket Casts and Google Play Music, but not from Pandora.
I've also switched ROMs to see if that was the issue. I was using OZOP versions 1 & 2, and am now on XtreStoLite 1.5, and that hasn't made a difference. I don't remember if it happened on pure unrooted stock during the time before I rooted my device, so it still could be a ROM issue, I suppose.
I had the problem with and without root; I don't think it makes a difference. I froze the Samsung Music app and that has helped my phone automatically play music in my car after connecting to the radio, so that is an improvement. However, still no metadata and still getting glitchy controls (press pause and it skips forward in a song rather than pausing; have to double-tap).

Let me start by saying this: I LOVE MY NEXUS 6. Really love it. There's nothing like it nowadays. I've been trying to find a 6 inches / 16:9 / no-notch / 3.5mm jack modern phone, but i'm out of luck. Manofacturers just don't build them anymore.
So I've been stuck with my Nexus 6 for more than I prolly should have...
The phone is becoming increasingly incompatible with more and more applications, not even the latest Netflix version is compatible with this model. So... i've been using al old Netflix version for quite some time.
To make things worse, I recently flashed a custom rom, PixelExperience. What I didn't know when I installed it, was that it doens't include the DMR-enabler (or whatever its name is) that Netflix/Amazon need in order to stream HD video. So, basically, I can't even stream netflix now. I'm using an ancient netflix version just to make it run...
My other big issue is NFC. The phone has NFC yes... But something is different about it. There's a NFC payment app in my country, and Nexus 6 is incompatible with it. I don't know why. The app works in other, newer phones, such as Motorola G6, but it doesn't work in my Nexus 6. I paid no attention to the "this app is not compatible with your device" message, because sometimes the app store says that and the app works anyway... so, I downloaded it and installed it manually, but it didn't work. So, Im lost here. Does this phone have an "old" NFC protocol or something?
I have the latest "working" android version, 8.1. I cannot install any of the PIE roms, because none of them have figured out how to make VoLTE work.
So what should i do? should i finally give up on my Nexus and buy a modern phone, even though i don't like them? Are you guys still using Nexus 6 nowadays?

Let me start by saying this: I LOVE MY NEXUS 6. Really love it. There's nothing like it nowadays. I've been trying to find a 6 inches / 16:9 / no-notch / 3.5mm jack modern phone, but i'm out of luck. Manofacturers just don't build them anymore.
So I've been stuck with my Nexus 6 for more than I prolly should have...

Obviously people here are using their Nexus 6's. My wife is using a Pie rom and Netflix without any issues. I know you mentioned your issue with Pie roms so thats understandable. You mentioned the Moto G6 and thats pretty similar imo. If you want to move on from the Nexus 6 I wont hate you. My Nexus 6 still serves me well. I agree though with your dislike of more modern phones but there are plenty out there that arent like them.
As far as NFC is concerned I have never found a reason to use it so its the first thing I turn off. I know I dont have much to help with in your decision but if you want or need a newer phone, its really your choice. I support you either way. One thing that I usually consider before all else is the custom rom community. I dont care what phone it is, if the support and community isnt there then I'm not going to be happy with the phone. Good luck to you!
I retired my N6 late December. Now I use it as a dedicated MTB navigator and ride tracker.
My new phone is a OP 6T. I don't even notice the notch anymore, but I miss the width of the N6.

About your NFC payment app:
Often, the problem is that payment apps consider custom roms insecure, and refuse to run. Sometimes this can be fixed by installing Magisk and telling it to hide.
About your payment app, having an unlocked bootloader will give the message your talking about
