JXD S7800? Seems like a pretty obscure device.

[kristianity77]

Yeah that alone makes me want to do CFW ASAP, if I open them to look at them the best thing I can come up with is it is some sort of phone sex thing... Spam I can recognize in any language lol

The worst part of it is to clear it out of the notification area you must open it, but once open it is a pain to get out of since none of it is in English.

Happy Chick... lol your probably right about that being the culprit.

Because I never stayed on stock firmware for more than about 10 minutes after getting my device im not sure if Happy Chick can be uninstalled or not? Is it not in the Apps part of settings? If not, then you can probably still disable the app if not delete it, which will stop all that happening.

You couldnt run filters on anything past 16 bit though admittedly. If someone managed to incorporate it into the PSX emu or Drastic or PPSSPP, that would bring it to its knees lol But yeah, any console up to the SNES, GBA and Neo Geo, will run the filters nicely when propely implemented.

GBA is another console that mobile gaming devices seem to struggle with, but I bet that too runs full speed (emulators seem to have a bilinear filter by default). Yeah, PSX, that requires a decent amount of GPU power when you upscale native res to 720 or 1080

That's the odd thing... nothing in the tasks currently running I can see would cause that and I disabled the auto start on Happy Chick. Do I need to reboot for changes to take effect ALA Windows? lol

Edit: Screw it I am doing the CFW now.... Wish me luck!!! lol

GBA runs like a dream but I know what you mean. I could never get it working nicely on PSP.

To be honest, Im still finding now apps and games which I cant believe run as well as they do. I saw this yesterday on youtube by accident and tried it for myself, and it runs at the full 60fps, in 1280x800 (native res) with 16x AA on top as well.



I needed a 2 grand PC to run this like that back in 2000 or so!

Dayum that's awesome, and the resolution is pretty good too, 720p, so that would make emulators, movies, just about anything look awesome!

The CFW install is a doddle. The actual hardest part is getting the drivers onto windows believe it or not.

But yes, its much better to go CFW. Personally im using Webclaws, as that clears out the most rubbish from the device and seems (on my device anyway) to be rock stable.

Wait, so, the drivers are pain to install? How do you install them on Windows 7? Does that mean that if I get an S7800, I'm SOL? Damn...I hope not.

One quick question before I dive in, I downloaded this one is it any good? I was actually planning on using the 1.6Ghz core until I got the device but it runs so well at 1.4Ghz I don't see any reason to run it higher right now.

Edit: derp... lol

Ive got Windows 7 and they do install its just a bit finicky. It was definitely a lot easier on XP! All the software you need is on the thread. When you connect the S7800 to your PC, it picks it up but never as what it shouyld be. So as long as your ok manually installing drivers then you'll be fine.

Unfortunately, I don't have XP, or any way to access it, I just hope I don't get screwed over lol.

That one is fine and its the firmware I used right off the bat. But then I went to the Webclaws ones instead as it offers a couple of fixed that the supercharged one doesnt. Webclaws one also takes off more bloatware than the Superhcharged one also.

Thank you so I should use the webclaws? (have to find it lol)

If your on Win 7 like I am it does work, its just slightly more a pain in the ass. There is a thread on there actually where I needed help on win 7 so if you do get stuck, then look in here:

start looking from about half way down

Yes, Webclaws is the better option, found here

Double damn, it sounds like a real PITA, and will probably get screwed, maybe I should stick with the G5A after all, if it's gonna be a pain on Windows 7.... How do I even know that I'll get this thing working?

 

[kristianity77]

Its not, its really easy. The problem I had is that I had forgotten that there is a time window from connecting the device to the PC and the time in which you have to install the drivers (basically you get 2 minutes before the device leaves the programming mode)

I had forgotten this and would connect the device up, piss around for a bit then try install the drivers and it wasnt seeing the device. I needed that fact pointing out to me as per thread and then I was OK again lol

So how do I do it? Some button combo to connect it, then install the drivers? Ugh. Bollocks. But if I missed that window, do you get another chance to enter programming mode or will it lock you out after that? I hope the time it takes to install doesn't exceed the two-minute window.

Yeah you get another chance if you miss it. You just disconnect, and try again. But at first I had forgotten this part and just kept trying and trying.

Like any android device on the market, there is a button combo when you turn the device on which turns on a kind of "safe mode" as youd say in windows. On this device you push power on, then press volume up to bring up safe mode (its actually known as recovery mode i believe)

This is the point where you connect it to a PC and within two minutes, install the drivers. If you dont do it within two minutes, nothing physically changes on the device (as in its still in the safe mode) but the programming part switches off. This is where I got stuck, I had forgotten that that part switches off.

all you need to do if this happens is start from square one again

All right, then I take back what I said about changing my mind I guess it's no surprise, as Windows typically doesn't have support for this kind of hardware.

 

[kristianity77]

To be fair, I believe the process of doing CFW on any android device is pretty much the same method of installing device drivers etc. So if you wanted to do it on a g5a, your gonna have to do exactly the same thing as it runs off more or less the same chipset
