Re: Discussion on CM9 for Allwinner A8 Scroll Extreme

[puddleduck]

I usually turn my Extreme off between uses so the clock never runs for long periods. I'll try putting it to sleep instead and see if the clock wanders.

I've run my tablet at 1200 without problems so far but I always set it manually from Settings\System\Performance\Processor\maximum CPU frequency. If you don't tick "Set on boot" you'll be back to the default 1008 after a reboot.

Will report back on clock.

Thanks for the info, will give changing the CPU max another attempt.

Hi, Kevin I'm running the latest CM9 and the clock is fine.

Are you sure you haven't got a "time" app messing with the clock?

Best of luck sorting it.

Barry.

not that im aware of.

i'll have to g back to the stock rom at some point, just as a test. just need t find time to do it.

The clock stayed accurate for the last 12 hours.

Had it set on Automatic date and time.

Hello.

My first time to the forumn.

I think I may have broke my scroll extreme so im hoping someone here can help.

I installed CWM and made a backup of my stock firmware. I then installed 910i_compatibility_1.2.0, cm9_nightly_20120721 and gapps-ics-20120429-signed.

After installing the tablet would load to the lock screen but my touch screen wouldnt work. I thought I would restore my backup but I've only managed to get back into CWM once and that was pure luck as no matter what key combinations I try I cannot seem to get in.
The one time I accidentally got into CWM it would not mount my sd card.

Now, my tablet appears to be stuck on the loading screen with the figure in the centre and the light arrow going in circle.

Please can someone help me, maybe they know how I can get into CWM.

Thanks.

Barry.

i did this....

you have to install compatibility after the rom.

what you ned to do now is turn your extreme off.

press and hold the power button. if you are asked to confirm the screen functions wont work, so press the button next to' the volume rocker (i think, maybe the power again) tobe honest i cant remember which, but it is one of then.

Then start cwm again, volme and power button together. Hen just install the compatibility zip and you'll be fine.

good luck.

Hi KLRichards

Thanks for the reply.

From what i've read on the forumns I thought it might be the compatibility rom but I did install that after cm9 rom, so maybe ive used the wrong one.

My problem now though is that my tablet does not load its just stuck on the cm9 loading screen and I cant get back into CWM. I've tried alot of the various of which keys to hold and for how long, but none of them seem to get me in.
