Hello Android TV box users.

I would like to introduce you Android 2.3.4 TV box from DX (SCU 102992) price - 84.80USD Free Shipping!

ARM Cortex A9/Media CPU/OpenGL ES 2.0 GPU/Dual-core Video DSP (Mali)
Amlogic 8726 / 900MHz
512MB DDR2 memory 2GB NAND flash

I bought it 25.11.2011 (black Friday price was 58USD).
And received after 2 weeks (Ukraine, Kiev) with Android 2.2 system, without Market, Flash and etc.

After some "conversations" with DX support and my friend on DX Yareg (he have the same box), i have Android 2.3.4 (with Market, Root and etc.) on this device.

This is my first post and i don't upload or post link for any (photos and etc.)
 
hi nvv7777
great job by everyone here....

i have this issues where i cant touch the screen to continue..

you had posted this on dx thread

"i had exact same problem.
Solution:
1- restart to recovery mode
2. wipe data and cache
3. install update_gapp.zip

after this - restart, and long tap to Android, then - tap to skip button."

what do u mean by "long tap to Android" and "Tap to skip button"
What is the "tap" means? the "ok" button?

i was prompted to set ethernet and wireless. it rebooted and back to the "touch screen " page again...

i had something similar to DX: SKU 41809

I doesnt create the mouse icon on the screen thus doesnt hover in the screen..

therefore, cant play games....

btw how to enhance the Market.... it is so pathetic with limited apps in there...

i tried, force stop, clear cache on Market and Google Framework....reboot and the market remains the same....limited apps

Need to add mouse png (or jpg or ...) file to the system, but I do not remember how to, please search in google for this problem.

Market limited apps associated with: fingerprint options in build.prop. Need fix fix this problem. Yareg and me work for this. Install apps via Apps installer from SDCARD or USB downloaded with alternative market apps.

can someone please give me detailed instructions for data dumping 2.3 image on my player. I have already gotten terminal emulator etc. but do not understand the commands.

Thanks

Run from Terminal app (all without ""):
1. "su" - command for root priv.
2. "cat /proc/mtd" and you have something like this:

#cat /proc/mtd
dev: size erasesize name
mtd0: 00040000 00020000 "000"
mtd1: 00500000 00020000 "111"
mtd2: 00280000 00020000 "222"
mtd3: 04380000 00020000 "333"
mtd4: 04380000 00020000 "444"
mtd5: 04ac0000 00020000 "555"
....

This is MTD blocs.

Then copy this block to the SDCARD:
dd if=/dev/mtd/mtd0 of=/sdcard/000.img
dd if=/dev/mtd/mtd1 of=/sdcard/111.img
dd if=/dev/mtd/mtd2 of=/sdcard/222.img
dd if=/dev/mtd/mtd3 of=/sdcard/333.img
dd if=/dev/mtd/mtd4 of=/sdcard/444.img
dd if=/dev/mtd/mtd5 of=/sdcard/555.img
dd if=/dev/mtd/mtd6 of=/sdcard/666.img

Name of the block must be the same (for example: mtd0: "000" must be = /sdcard/"000".img)

After much playing (lack of market requires download on tablet and then side load to player) I have my "cnet tech" 2.3 built in wireless box working pretty well. I have only one more tweak to see if Netflix player will work.

For those who complain that remote does not work with 2.3, mine works fine along side my wireless keyboard. I can use either one or both at the same time.
