Firmware Update
To determine the firmware version currently installed on your tablet, go to Settings > About device and scroll to the bottom to see Build number. The last 5 digits of the Build number indicate your current firmware version.
The February 4, 2011 Firmware Update addresses issues with micro card formatting and capacity and offers improvements to Wi-Fi connectivity.
The Firmware Update for your A7 Internet Tablet must be downloaded to your PC or Mac and copied to a MicroSD card for installation.
IMPORTANT: A MicroSD card is required to update the firmware. The USB port is a host only and cannot be used for firmware updates.
Note: Since the files stored in the Tablet may be deleted or overwritten during the update process (including the pre-installed movie trailers), please copy any files which you have stored in the Tablet before updating.
Please follow these directions carefully for a successful update:
A7 Firmware Update Instructions
Download the Firmware Update ZIP file at the bottom of this page to your PC or Mac.
Copy the ZIP file from your PC or Mac to a MicroSD card. The file must be copied to the ROOT DIRECTORY of the MicroSD card. Make sure you do not copy the file into a subfolder.
Insert the MicroSD into the slot at the top of the A7 Tablet.
Plug the A7 Tablet into an electrical outlet using the AC adaptor.
Open Settings > About device > System updates > Update device.
Follow the on-screen prompts. The system will restart automatically in update mode, then will restart when the update is complete.

Ok, who is going to see what happens when this is applied to their A7 that has Dexter's Mod 1.1 on it? I'm too scared. I've just about got mine working ok. I just need to get the newer version of the Market, Calendar fixed, and Bluetooth PAN tethering via Blackberry working. I didn't expect such a learning curve on this device.
Im about to try it will keep you posted!
Boot Loop
My unit arrived this morning.
I put the Feb 4 OEM update on first then applied dexter's mod and ended up in a boot loop.
I was not sure how to get out of the loop so I tried a couple shut downs to no avail.
So I reset and ran the Feb 4 update again.
I have a lot more icons than to shipped version, but I do not think I have the google apps market place.
I am very new to android so I'm a bit in the dark.
Is there a way to get out of the boot loop?
Thanks
Ekk! Boot Loop!
Did you guys wipe Data/Cach?
I'm updating through recovery mode. I'll update everyone shortly...
FANCY "eLocity" boot screen! No loop here.
Sweet! Shows My 8gb card at 7.38 Empty space!
For the people in the boot loop try powering down your device and powering it back on.
The A7 No longer force closes when you select the Brightness tab!
Just did that it worked great! I can see my sd card woot! No market
I did the data wipe and every seems to work.
Thanks for reading.
Don't forget to wipe Data/Cach. Thats almost always the issue!
Does it have Market or any or the Dexter mods
Does it have Market?

No, The fireware downloaded from the Elocitynow.com website does NOT come with Market.
New firmware
Will Dexter be modding this one for us?
I would hope so!
I would love if Elocity or Dexter would tackle the App2SD problem
no Market
Sorry. Just niticed no market in an earlier reply. Let's hope Dexter can mod this to re-add market, etc. Thks

Mine is working fine after update.
Update is same size as the last file?
R
Seems to boot much quicker. Also works with manually installing .apk apps
Notice any improvement in wifi?
I can't really say I notice anything but it was running good out of the box for me.
I think boot up may be slightly improved.
I do notice more verbose initial boot up screen which reminds me of linux a while back!
So far no data or applications were lost but version number has changed.
A smooth upgrade
Although the file size was identicle to the previous release the version is different yet the same.

I just purchased an Elocity A7 and updated the firmware to 2.0134 and applied Dexter's Elocity 1.42 mod.
Everything seems to be working great, I can get to the marketplace etc. but for some reason none of the apps will go to the SD card that I have installed.
I can see the card mounted but when I go the the App to SD app the column to move to SD card (that I used in prior versions) is not on the screen.
Is this normal?, or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks in advance for your replies.
Demi
Your procedure isn't correct, first you have to load dexter 1.41Rom then add the patch 1.42, you cannot put 1.42 ontop of the factory firmware...
Elocity did not include the option, so you cannot move apps with stock firmware...
you need the CyanogenMod released, then you get the option to do it.
Thank both of you for the prompt replies.
Should I reinstall the elocity software again, over the Dexter mod?
What does CyanogenMod mean, and how do I install? it.
Sorry, I'm not very technical.\

Original Post by Dexter_nlb
I played around with a version of the CyanogenMod7 for tegra2, and now its in a acceptable state, so you can test it too.
I have used the latest Atrix4G 2.3.4 + vega / optimus 2X to put this version together, and its based on the original elocityA7 kernel and includes modules for cifs,nfs,ext3 and ext4 support.
So although its a Android Gingerbread 2.3.5 base, kernel is still just 2.6.32.9 based, so cpu,memory and kernel related optimizations are not here.
CyanogenMod7 offers a lot of customizable features, full multilanguage and latest enhancements found for our android comparing to original stock a7 rom, you get alot more features.
Fixes in Version3 (Cyanogen7RC1ModA7-3)
- Youtube HD video fixed
- VolumeUP/VolumeDown assigned to sound&search buttons
- DSP Manager is now working, it is really to loud for internal speaker if you go full power.
- GoogleTalk app update + crash fix. (still no video working)
- USB_OTG app updated, so changes take effect immediately when you swith HOST/DEVICE mode (used to connect tablet to pc with usb-a2usb-a cable)
- Real 1080p video out with HDMI (not sure how it affect playback, it seeems just upscaled)
What is found not working right now:
- Camera photo & video recording (photo stopped when avi got enabled)
- rotation sensor is 90 wrong (in gameloft games)
- bluetooth
What is working
- Netflix runs out of the box on this one, as i made build.prop changes so it thinks its a Xoom.
- wifi networking
- sdcard , usb host/device and USB stick support.
- all features of CM7
- mkv/avi/wma/wmv hardware acc. video playback (almost seems like more avi is supported than before?)
Download http://dext3r.komodin.org/Elocity-A7/Cyanogen7RC1ModA7-3.zip
to install after just as full update, but is a kernel only update. (extract Update.zip from this zipfile to root of sdcard)

unzip the downloaded zip, and there is a zip inside named update.zip that needs to be extract and out on the root of your sd card
Thank You for the reply. It worked perfectly and now everything is up to date and working. I don't know how to press the thank you meter so here goes a double thank you...
How does the original question apply to the A7+?
I can't access card and I'm having memory issues... new thread has specifics
I think the CM10 Jellybean rom 4.1.2. is stable enough for daily use. Packed with A1 Kernel 1.7.4b build pushes the tab's performance more, due to the GPU overclocking . The issue i found so far is that the MTP does not work, even when the MTP setting is clicked, updating the drivers, uninstalling the device from device manager, and installing again. When re-flahsed using the default CM10 4.1.2 Beta4, MTP is working fine again.
Anyone has any fix for this ?

Hi There, thank you for your time in replying. Appreciate that. I did check the control panel , printers sounds setting, but all i can see is the Samsung Android Device (modem) nothing else. There are no undefined hardware in my control panel.
I do transfer right now file to and from my 10.1 through Wifi Explorer Pro. A bit slow, but it works.
Probably, i will flash a CM10 kernel, or revert back to the CM10 Beta 4 and wait for A1 Kernel probably to notice this issue.

By the way, anyone who can post to XDA on A1 kernel p7500 regarding this issue? My account is so weak it's only limited to Q/A Forum and general facts.
Issue with Play Store - Jelly Bean ROM
Hi
First off, I flashed my GTP7500 Galaxy Tab 10.1 with the new JB ROM after having had issues with getting applications to update/download from Play Store. I tried everything before flashing, from deleting and re-adding my back-up account, to flushing the app cache and downgrading the Play Store app to an earlier version. Nothing worked. Then when I flashed the new JB ROM, I accidently used the WiFi-only version. Everything worked fine, I just didn't have 3G. So I went back to the drawing board and flashed the correct version, using TWRP's version. Now, I am back to square one with Play Store not downloading/updating any apps. The progress bar just scrolls, and then eventually times out. My only question is, why would it work without any hassles in the Wifi-ONLY version, but not in both the official release of ICS and un-official JB? Could someone please help me with this, as I have absolutely no more answers left
Thanx
Gallery issue
I have an issue, the gallery cant detect pics that were moved using root explorer.
So this is what happened:
1. downloaded some images via browser (all downloaded images are in download folder in root)
2. grouped all of them in a folder via root explorer (all downloaded images are in download/foldername
3. opened the gallery, it cannot find that folder, and shows a album called "download" with the pictures except they are all blank(black icons).
Can anyone verify this and if anyone has a fix for this pls tell me thx.
I wanted to use multilive wallpaper so i need downloaded pics grouped for separate homescreens... not using gallery will cause slow downs...
polaris office does not work

Installing now. Let ya know if any big changes, anybody check and see if there's a new hw package update as well to go with?
I dont think so...theme manager still now working... and after flashing,phone still say on c654b300
So...what do you think of new firmware ?...
Personnally,i often have to reboot phone so changes ,like in sound,notification can be changed...also when passing to wifi to data,i also have to shut down wifi then reboot so data will turn on..
Theme manager ,no way to make it work
Ive found theres almost no lag compared to previous firmware,changes have been made to lockscreen ( personnal infos in the middle instead of on top of image)...
When cleaning the phone via app,settings are always ****ed up and have to re do them like, to not shut down facebook/messenger to receive notifications well,after clean up,i have to re do all settings...
Dunno what huawei is trying to do but, There is always something not working.
Also,Aida64 says its a Release Key version...when looking in the Android tab...
Attached are some pics...the firmware is supposed to be C654B334 but shows C654B300...

It should fix a couple of minor issues I am not sure what tho and yes the Build number too. When I on the CAN-L01C432B320 build for my phone and updated to CAN-L01C432B340 it was still showing up as CAN-L01C432B320 until I installed the smaller update for my phone.
Thanks...did the update...now 334...
Ill see if it did something
Heres a thing that really bugs me...
If i look into the update folders once extract,i can see some themes / pictures in ... C:\Users\portable\Documents\update_data_full_MLA-L03_rogers_ca\data\hw_init\version\region_comm\oversea
why is theme manager / magazine still dont / never works ?
and even after installing the update,i dont see the themes and magazine images... There must be something wrong somewhere.
Is Huawei/emui blocking the app intentionally and if so,why ??....Im just trying to understand things.
and most important thing is,when writing to Huawei,we never get real answer...always the same thing....''wait for next update''
also,in the changelog,it clearly says...
''5. If you are not satisfied with the new update, you can roll back to EMUI 4.1. Your personal data will be erased during the rollback.''
Nowhere in the phone's setting (ive searched everywhere) its mentioned a way to revert back to mm6...Also in the 2 or 3 button way it says revert back to mm6 ect.
Could someone give me the real apk name for the (nougat)Emui 5 theme manager apk please ?
My theme manager is there and shows any themes I DL and put in the theme dir. It's not a theme store just a manager. Is it not there at all, or not working properly?
Hi..
Whatever i do in theme manager,it wont work whe applying...
If i dload a emui5 then well when clicking on apply ,its supposed to apply the whole theme...even if i apply thing separately,it wont change at all.
I was wondering if anybody has found a gcam version 7 that works on the v35. I am not sure if that is something that only works on Android 10. Please if anyone knows of a working version please let me know.
I found a version that works, but the viewfinder is laggy a buffer fix would make if perfect. All else seems to be working. https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog838/
Just tried this one GCam_7.2.010_Burial-vCv_release14.03.20.apk and it works with a couple of hitches.
Can't save or load any configs as it says 'no access to storage' although it does have access. It even says it does in permissions of the App in settings.
And the other odd thing is that the selection for wide angle (0.6x) causes it to crash (and you have to delete cache and data and start again), but unclick wide angle setting and use telephoto, then the wide angle works :-|
I do have the buffer fix flashed in magisk, but didn't try this app without it, so not sure if it would work without it or not. But it's great to have a Gcam port that's pretty much fully functional. And the picture quality is, on first impression, quite good.
cheers

Unfortunately without buffer fix it has the laggy viewfinder problem. How can I flash the buffer fix via magisk? Do you have a guide on how to install magisk in v35?

I don't have a guide myself but there are some in the 'How To' sections. I'll mention the basic steps, but first there is a gcam version that works great without the buffer fix as it's 'built in'. But, it's not v7, it's a v6.2.
Try this link for the changelog page, which also has a download link on it for the port. The only thing I found that didn't work on this one was doing a night sight shot with the selfie camera.
Installing Magisk is pretty easy, assuming you have some prior experience installing / using it. If yer brand new to it then it's a bit involved.
First, you have to be boot loader unlocked. Then use qfil to get the boot_a (and boot_b if doing both sides) (or vice versa if b is active). This is the image that Magisk will 'patch'.
Next get both of those images on your phone and also the latest Magisk Manager apk. Install this apk the way you would any other apk.
Next, be sure you're connected to the net, open the magisk manager apk, at the top it will tell you the Manager is installed but Magisk isn't. To use Manager to install Magisk we next click on 'advanced settings', and on that page we only select 'Recovery', leave the other two unchecked. Now, look back up where it says 'Magisk not installed' and next to it, click on 'Install'. I don't remember the all the options it gives you next but the one you want is 'patch an image'. Then simply direct it to the boot_a (and b if doing both), and it will patch the image with magisk and tell you where it is on your device.
Copy it from your device to PC so you can use qfil to flash it to the boot_a partition. It may not show up the first time you boot the device, but it is there. To get it to show be sure to connect to the net and / or reboot it again, it will eventually show up.
This is just how to do it in a nutshell, you might also want to be sure to read any guides available here. They will probably be more informative and clearer, I'm just kind of going from memory here.
Cheers
Best gcam apk so far for lg v35 with Korean Android 10 rom is: HyperCam-RaizenA-10-OPZ_RN8P.apk everything is working when buffer fix and awbgains mod are enabled. The only problem is thay it lucks the re-int fix thus after 2 pics it takes more than 5 sec for the next photo which can be worked around by quickly switching between selfie and normal camera after 2 photos.
Update:
There you go: Best gcam for Lg v35 with Android 10 or 9
Enable: buffer fix , re-int and night sight fix
Version: Gcam_6.1.021_V1.6_02b6.5_A10_Wyroczen_v2.apk
Works excellent ? the only problem is the reset of the viewfinder after each photo (when re-int is enabled to fix the above problem).
Enjoy ?
