X98_PRO_android_5.1_mirek190_v6.0 rom

there is that possibility. I made a mistake however, the android x86 .iso do not boot up on our machines, they are x86, we need to use the ones that have x86_64 in the title and .img as the extension. The kernel is embedded in teclast’s stock firmware is adequate, its probably derived from something intel handed to them in a plain vanilla form and said, hey, go ahead and put your name on that and tweak it to your satisfaction. Well, teclast isn’t in the kernel development program and they aren’t really open sourcing it, so obtaining the source code and making modifications to their kernel is going to be difficult unless you can reverse engineer it. I’m not sure, but I believe on mirek’s i’m using may 3.25 gb of the ram. I could be wrong though. I need to do a query through the terminal. Android is more of a “frosting on the cake” for me. I like to play around with it, inject different system images from other builds and install them, most of the time bootlooping, but occasionally I get lucky. As far as android x86 is concerned, these guys are good, they all collectively get together with the development and take bits and piece of code/software from all over the place to put something truly unique together. As I was saying in my previous post, it is possible to use grub on these Android IA environments and dual or triple or quad boot these. The EFI loader is Android IA, take a look in the bios after you install android at the boot options, you’ll see it right there. I’ve only messed around with android x86 on the windows side and booted from a thumb drive. But grub does work. And like, 10 minutes ago, a guy posted on the android x86 google discussion that grub works with these chroot/Android IA environments. And the kernel used with android x86 can be just about anything derived from Linux that you want. Kinda like bobsledding and throwing whoever you can find in it, fat, skinny, tall, short people and just pushing them down the track, if they survive and don’t fly off the track (your machine boots up), then they’re bound to peak people’s interest and try to see if they can do that again, only faster and better (develop it further, iron out the bugs and hardware issues until its stable and ((mostly)) everything is working).:), been drinking, sorry, lol.
It honestly took me forever to figure out how to get android down in size and still be able to install windows without jacking everything up. I’m at this plateau now, I can repeat it if necessary and I can further tinker with adding/replacing other OSes. It really help to have a firm understanding of WinPE and the scripts used to automate the windows process. You could do a manual installation of windows after installing android (and using gparted to reduce the data partition size), and select the unpartitioned space after the android partitions during the installation and hope it works…. I tried that, a few times, can’t seem to get windows to not write its efi partition at the front of everything, essentially f***ing up the android efi and having to start all over again. I even went as far a booting into winPE after installing android, (and after repartition in gparted) and using diskpart I hid the android partitions, hoping the windows installer wouldn’t inject the efi partition up android’s butt, well it did anyway, just to spite me. The customizable winpe script is helpful, but you can just use the win 10 image found here and replace the .swm files with your own version of windows. That way all the drivers and stuff get installed too. But if you use a newer version of windows, you will need to update the winPE version also.

btw, I think Ive got the highest score in performance test, for windows, there are 2 erroneous scores (excessively high) though, one of which is mine and then another who duplicated my blunder, in which you hit escape during the first couple direct x tests and it aborts just those tests and you get a huge score at the end. But as far as the legit score, I’ve gotta be like 15-20% higher than the next guy. I tweaked windows and I put a custom copper heat pipe on the cpu and copper shims on the ram. I run the cpu on performance (in the power options, ((you have to enable it through a registry mod))), pretty much all the time and I slimmed down the services and eliminated a whole crapload of windows bloatware, ie cortana and defender, and the latest version of throttlestop has some limited support for the cherry trails. I’ve gotta have close to the top in antutu too, lol. I just hit 91k, but I don’t want to push this puppy too hard. These are all legit results, no manipulations or hacks. It’s funny, the day I got it, I opened it up, messed around with it for about 20 minutes in the kitchen and it had about 40% battery left and it shut off. I was like, wtf, this piece of S. So i plugged it in, it didn’t turn on, I hit the power, it didn’t turn on. I sat there with it plugged in and kept hitting the power button, it never came on. So I plugged it into my computer and left it alone for 2 hours. It came on about then. I guess it had jetlag. Its done that to me (just shut off) a few times more, and the only way I can get it to come back on is to plug it into a computer, it likes my computer, it doesn’t even like its own ac adapter. The second day I was playing around with it for a few hours, set it down for 20 minutes, picked it back up from the bottom and the damn thing nearly gave me 3rd degree burns on my palm, it was hotter than f. So, being the second day (i usually take stuff apart the first day, but I wanted to be delicate with my little chinese buddy (jk, ive got like 12 tablets)). I stuffed a laptop copper heat pipe in, bent it around, smashed it flat, sanded down the part that actually makes contact with the cpu, so that it was perfectly flat and smooth enough you could see your reflection in it (for better heat dissapation), slapped some artic silver on it, and smooshed it together like a sloppy joe sandwhich. It ran like crap, errored out every 2 minutes. I had put too much stuff in there, so I ejected some copper tape, some of the heat pipe and a layer of shims (I put 2 on everything). Then ran better, but wasn’t perfect. I must have taken it apart at least 10 times trying to perfect the placement of everything. I had it really good at one point, but the stuff was pushing against the back of the screen and making it bleed from the front. I got it handled now though. I actually found an extremely small cpu fan and copper plate combo from an older msi netbook, I think it’ll fit once I determine where to splice the power from. Ok, done with my novel. I do have a ton of software, its all in chinese, but it all relates to this tablet and modifying/installing with it.

Did you get it working correctly? Mirek’s doesn’t mess with the windows partition, unless you mess with the mirek’s batch file to include repartitioning or reflashing the bootloader.  Anyway, First, I use rufus to make all my bootable images, except if its related to flashing hard drive firmware, then I use winimage and use the .img extracted from the .bin (long story). You have to install android first (no matter what, unless you only want to run windows). Don’t use mirek, it doesn’t install the bootloader, use the stock one posted in downloads on techtablets. Use the intel phone flash tool and use the stock rom’s json file. It will install the bootloader and repartition the android side. After that you can install mireks. you don’t need to mess with the bios much. I’ve actually got everything to install without messing with fastboot. after you install android, then use rufus to create a bootable image of gparted. Then you boot into gparted, don’t do it through the direct boot in the bios, just put the otg cable in, connected to your usb hub with keyboard and mouse AND BOOTABLE GPARTED USB. When you boot you will see an option to boot into android and “W”, the “W” is the gparted drive, select that. If you don’t get the dual boot menu, hold down the up volume after you see the initial bios screen for a few seconds. Then you’ll get the dual boot screen and boot into “w” or gparted rather. In gparted you are going to have an unpartitioned space and to the left of it 3 small partitions, then the android data partition. Resize the android data partition, I set mine a 7gb, then move the 3 small partitions to the left of the newly created unpartitioned space. You won’t be able to move the one called “persistent” though. You will have to mark it as “clear” in gparted and apply. Then move it, then mark it back as ext4. Then you will have one contiguous free space to install windows to. Its important to do this BEFORE you install windows. If you do it after you install windows, it will perpetually run chkdsk every time you boot into windows, if you can deal with that, then resize after you install windows, lol (probably tell i’ve been through this procedure about 20 times).
Ok, now you can install windows. I put windows 10 enterprise, which is now up to version 11102. Ive tried so many different ways to get windows on without messing up android, it has been difficult. You cant touch the first 10 or 11 or maybe 12 partitions, (I forget). I found a chinese installer that you can use to customize the windows installation. If you need it, or maybe just a link to it let me know. After I customized the installation and put my version of windows (enterprise 11102) I wanted to install through the customized windows 10 PE auto installer, in which I converted the original .iso into a .wim, then I split the .wim into install.swm and install2.swm, which the customized windows 10 PE auto installer script called for.  I had to use a windows 10PE 10565, because the earlier version wouldn’t complete the newer installation of enterprise.  I booted to it through the usb and the “w” in the dual boot menu, and it went through the installation great, except it rebooted at the end, when I wasn’t paying attention, and installed it twice, lol. I unplugged the usb the second time, before the reboot started. Everything works perfectly now.

Hope this helps and leads to more answers than questions, lol:)

You can use just windows 10 pro and the windows 10 image found on this site, you can just make a .wim out of the .iso and split the image with powershell into 2 .swm.  Just make sure you use the 10240 version of windows 10 pro and paste it into the image found here.  It has to be, because the window PE included in that version won’t install a new version.  You also have to use 2 .swm because its a dual boot tablet, there has to be essentially 2 images on the installation. That what the chinese tell me anyway.  You’ll see the windows installation script run diskpart, to verify the android partitions are there and it will make sure and lock them and install windows after them.

Anyway, ive got mireks 3.0 at like 16gb and windows at 41gbish.  You can install other versions of android too, i’ve messed around with cm13.1, the android x86 version, but I can’t get wifi working.  I’ve also triple booted miui, the latest version that just came out, well, today, lol.  I don’t want to take anything away from this site, but I’m a moderator on another chinese site, lol and they have a ton of more information regarding just about everything with these chinese tablets.  Here’s a tidbit about the new miui rom that came out today: 2016-1-29 19:10 (their time)
AlphaBate

3. Increase: millet video, millet browser
4. The power unknown ~ ~

you’re going to need the password to download the file, I can’t give it to you, but I’m sure, with the power of google, you can locate this particular site, because, well, it is the official teclast forum site for the company, lol.  Get used to google translate, :).

Hi Mirek, help to solve problem.

Skype has no sound in Android OS, but Windows all good.

Could you check it?

Great job! Now please do one for the X16 Pro as Android in the X16 needs an overhaul. Teclast has removed the save to SD option in Android on the X16. Though I’ve removed most if not all of the bloatware I still feel the need to have a properly optimized Lollipop or even Marshmallow on the X16! I do hope other users share their discovered Android flaws and in time you can do a rom for our X16’s

Yeah I want this rom for the X16 too. Compared to the X98 Air 3G stock rom the stock rom on the X16 is really bad..

 

[Sneeds99]

Stop begging Mirek guys…Let him work on the x90 pro. If you want to update your x16 do some reading and do it yourself or buy an x90 pro or you can create a ”  begging x16″ thread.

[robert wisdom]

hi there, the beastie. have you tried mirek’s installer? use all the parts of the original stock android rom (bootloader, recovery, etc) except the data and system partitions. copy and paste the files from your rom into mireks but leave data and system alone. boot into fastboot, launch his installer, see if it works. it should, the hardware is very similar. if there are some hardware differences that dont work, first make a backup with twrp, then extract the system folder, get the blobs, replace them into the etc folder and see if that works. it should as long as your original rom is lollipop too.

[nexfeel]

hi Mirek!

Thank you for your great working.

I’m using your rom very well, except sometime happen black screen in android, but not much.

Second problem is the compatibility with the some app.

I cannot install some app which is very common app, you can see attached file.

I try to edit the build.prop to the popular model. but i can’t install the app with an error 504.

But, I’d used that app in the X98 air 3g Kitkat, befeore.

could you improve the compatibility next release?

Thank you! agian!

Hey guys. Would you know if I can use this rom on the X98 plus?

No….WILL PEOPLE STOP ASKING ABOUT THIS ROM WORKING ON DEVICES OTHER THAN THE X98 PRO!!

THE ANSWER IS NO, AND IF YOU WANT TO TRY, THEN TRY AT YOUR OWN RISK..

THIS IS A X98 PRO FORUM, NOT PLUS NOT X16 PRO.

Why can’t I play gt racing 2 or amazing spiderman 2 always unfortunately stopped 🙁

You can try an one click root app called Kingroot.

KingRoot is a root tool for “lazy people” who just want to get root access but don’t want to flash any third party Recovery into their lovely device. It can work on almost all device from Android 2.x – 5.0. Working of KingRoot based on system exploit. The most suitable Root strategy will be deployed from cloud to your device according to your ROM information. So, it’s necessary to keep net connection during root process.

May it help you.

I wouldn’t use KingoRoot, as it doesn’t use “proper” SuperSU and uses some Chinese one, that isn’t compatible with some apps..

[Blandroid]

Thank you SO MUCH Mirek, for a great rom and a superb flashing method – one of the easiest I’ve ever used 🙂
