Different wifi flavors
Well as we've seen recently there are different wifi / boards versions coming out.
6a includes 3 different fixes for that.
It defaults to the 0803a wifi after flashing. So those with recent models >= 201108 should be mostly fine.
There is however a 2nd flavor of 0803 model, so if wifi doesn't work for you and that you have a recent
model, try the Wifi Fix: 0803 v2 by clicking on the corresponding GScript
For those with older FT3 like me, there is a GScript Wifi fix: old FT3.
Automated updater/patcher
I made an automated updater and included it in this version.
That will allow you to update to subsequent versions without having to use the usual flashing procedure that
wipes everything out ;)
Basically you have to place the updates file(s) and the post.sh file into a directory called "patcher" created into
the root of your external SD card.
Then reboot with your SD card inside.
Once the updates have been applied your tablet will reboot on its own.
Then it'll boot as usual.
Automated first boot user rom customizations
Using the automated updater you can also customize the rom automatically on the first boot.
After the 1st flashing,
for each patch that you want to be applied automatically for you from:
http://public.timduru.org/Android/Flytouch3/patcher/
place the patches files into the patcher directory (see automated updater above)
(place them directly into the patcher dir, ie do not create any subdirectory into the patcher dir)
Then place the post.sh script into the patcher dir,
and reboot with your SD card inside (make sure you removed the firmware2 file from the 1st flashing,
otherwise it'll flash and wipe again everything ;) )
Once it is finished the FT3 will reboot on its own, that's normal.
Then it'll boot as usual.
Media scanning, not seeing your media files by default
To speed up things, media scanning is off by default. Otherwise it will scan your entire SD card for media on
every boot or every time you insert your SD card.
I'd suggest that you leave it off and simply use:
- QuickPic for video and pics browsing
- ccplayer or another player for music
much faster than the sluggish "scan all the time" default behaviour.
However if you require the media scanning regular behaviour simply use the GScript to turn in back on:
- Launch the GScript Lite application

- click on Media scanning On-Off


It'll then take some time to scan everything, and will eat 100% cpu while it does so.
Sometime the media process will tend to get into a crazy loop, if that happens
turning media scanning back off or unmounting/remounting your SD should stop it ;)
Arabic patch
I've made a Gscript that should fix the arabic fonts
Thanks to Mazen for modifying the files
Just click on the script and reboot.
Newer Models with 2Mp Camera
The default kernel is not compatible with these, in order to get these to work you need to do the following
(once)
- Launch the GScript Lite application
- Scroll down in the list of scripts, and click on 2Mp Camera fix
- Reboot
Market
The rom contains both Market 3.1.3 (more stable, but less apps) and 2.2.7 (the tip below should work to
see more apps)
If you find that Market 3.1.3 doesn't show you enough apps, you can simply roll back to the 2.2.7 version by
doing the following:
Go to Applications => All, find market, click on it, select "Uninstall updates"
You should then be back to the 2.2.7 version. And can try the procedure below again:
If you're still missing apps in Market do the following:
- Connect at least once with Market & your account.
- Then go to settings => Applications => Manage Applications => All
- find Google Services Framework from the app list
- click on clear data + OK, then force stop
Reboot.
wait about 1 minute after you're back in.
Start Market again. (if it crashes, wait a bit and try again, it should go through)
Then you should see more apps after that, like google maps, Skype & such. Paid apps are still not available
unfortunately.
Connecting to adhoc wifi network
The rom includes a driver for adhoc support, but it's not turned on by default, because while it works for
most network it has been reported that it can not connect to certain type of other wifi networks (PEAP)
You can switch back and forth between the drivers through the dedicated GScripts:
click on the corresponding GScript to switch to the Ad-hoc, original rom wifi driver ( that one is the default
when you boot)
If it doesn't seem to work, reboot or try this application
GPS
If your gps is stuck in Shangai or not updating, you need to reset the agps data with the gps status software

in the menu => tool => Manage A-GPS state


do reset + download
Plug in your gps antenna, and let it run until you get as many fixes as possible.
(it should reset when it grabs 3-4+ fixes, please note that the first time it might take up to 30 minutes - 1 hour
to catch all the fixes, be patient)
3G / Telephony apps
To avoid unnecessary battery draining they are turned off by default in the rom.
You can reactivate them with the GScript: "3G Telephony apps On-Off"
It should work with most Huawei sticks
Sticks reported to work: E1750, E182E, E161, E160, E173, k3765, 1752, 1752C , K3565, K3520,
E1820, 1550e, B970b
For more information about 3G tips and how to get them to work if it doesn't work out of the box see in s0l's
thread
Titanium backup
Internal SD card "local" free space is now at /mnt/sdcard and external SD1 is at /mnt/sdcard/sdcard1
/mnt/sdcard/sdcard1 is the default configured location in the rom, but if you restore your titanium backup
options make sure you change it accordingly to the new SD location.
VPN
PPTP with or without encryption works by default with the rom.
There seems to still be issues with OpenVPN, please report if it works for you.
NTFS USB Disks
The rom supports ntfs drives.
To mount them launch the GScript "mount usb drives"
If it has succeeded the script should tell you OK and will list where it has mounted the partition(s)
(Note: the default mounter doesn't support ntfs disks, so it'll detect them as unformatted/damaged drive when
you insert it, just disregard that message and launch the GScript )
There seems to still be issues with OpenVPN, please report if it works for you.
Shoutcast streaming
Android 2.2 doesn't support aac streaming, so with the default apps you won't be able to play the streams.
But there is currently a way around it, install the application 'TuneIn' from the market, and you'll be able to
play all your streams with that app
HDMI output
The HDMI output work only while playing a video in the player.
- plug in your HDMI cable
- launch the player and play a video
- press the menu button on the side to activate HDMI
Hardware USB Keyboard
If you have an old FT3 model (pre 0803) and have switched to the old FT3 wifi mode,
the shift key doesn't work with some applications if using Better Keyboard 8 or the Android Keyboard

=> To fix it, Switch the input method temporarily to Swift key trial
To get "Caps-Lock" push the Shift key twice< br/>
Launcher Pro
While in the drawer rotating the screen causes the icons to pack up together on top of each others
=> swipe your finger on the screen as if you wanted to scroll to expand them back.
Soft Keyboard
Better Keyboard 8 is set as default, you can however switch back to the old keyboard if you like:
Just launch the settings => Language & Keyboard => uncheck the Better keyboard 8 check box
Different screen size / Screen offset if you have a 1024x576 screen
As a general rule Do not flash another bootloader onto your pad unless stated otherwise. It is not needed
for regular updates.
If you have a x600 screen it should work out of the box with my roms
If you have a x576 screen you will see an "offset" for your screen, simply launch the GScript application,
scroll at the bottom and click on the 1024x576 fix. then reboot.
You have to do that only once :)
If ever it goes wrong, well that means that you have most likely flashed another bootloader before.
Just put the bootloader for your screen and reflash the rom in that case.
Calendar doesn't always see your account as created
=> restoring calendar settings from titanium backup seems to fix the issue => You can also declare a
corporate account by entering your google account info
