Well, I managed to create a custom rom:
- replacing the stock /system/app/Launcher2.apk by ApexLauncher
- removing /system/app/Mele_Launcher.apk
- adding /system/app/Vending.apk (Google Play)
- removing preinstalled applications (7StationGame_v1.1.15_DXsigned.apk 360buy_TV_v1.0.1_meleTV.apk Googlepinyin.apk MELE4.0_wasu_1.0.0.6_0906.apk QQ_1.9.1.apk VoolePlayV1.0SP4_mailea10_20251.apk AdobeFlashPlayer11.1.112.60.apk)
- adding service.adb.tcp.port=5555 in build.prop
And everything seems to run fine!
I changed the localization: en/US so that the first start is quite easy for everyone.
The file is here Mele_4.0_V1.2_custom_en_us_apex.img
Edit: you still need to run the "Andrews patch 1.0.apk" patch in order to get sound in some videos:

Thanks . Do you know if there is any fw v 1.2's changelog , I can't find it
RépondreSupprimerIndeed, hard to find. I can find changelogs for previous versions:

But not this one...
And for this version I only found this:

I'm running v 1.2 us_costumized,I like it , everything works fine, , l've downloaded devellopment setting apk from market . Thanks
RépondreSupprimerCan you share the link to that apk?
SupprimerHow did you manage to build your own rom?
RépondreSupprimerI'd like to add a couple of kernel modules to the stock rom and keep them there..
I will upload my bunch of linux shell scripts that I wrote in order to extract/repack the img (need clean them a little before).
SupprimerYou can follow the miniand https://www.miniand.com/forums/forums/2/topics/73
Once unpacked the A10 flash kitchen, just patch the packer_ics/files/image.cfg in order to add:
{filename = INPUT_DIR .. "_extract\\RFSFAT16_DISKFS_000000000.fex", maintype = ITEM_ROOTFSFAT16, subtype = "DISKFS_000000000",},
after line #60 (or around, after the one talking about ENVIROMENT_00000.fex
Thierry how can I install Adobe flash . I've installed 11.0 but in some apps as Películas HD only apears a small blue cube, I have this only isseue with your us costumized ROM .Thanks in advance
RépondreSupprimerStrange, I did not touch anything related to internal libraries so it should work in the same way as the original firmware:
Supprimerhttp://www.reddit.com/r/Mele/comments/znrbz/official_mele_ics_rom_v12_released_9812/
Nevertheless you could try the "blue sky" version of the firmware http://tmerle.blogspot.fr/2012/09/new-new-mele-ics-404-firmware-released.html
that should be the same version (except the language, still in Chinese).
Thierry I found the app indicated , setting the correct permissions for it ,rw r r, flash work :-) with us costumized . Thanks
RépondreSupprimerYou mean that you had to change permissions to the flash apk? Can you precise the exact file? I should fix it in the upcoming v1.3 customized firmware...
Supprimercan you redo this for the 1.3

SupprimerDone:

Bonjour,
RépondreSupprimerje souhaiterai installer cette rom sur mon mele a3700 mais je n'arrive pas à le faire. Auriez vous un tuto ?
Merci.

Bonjour,
Supprimeril y a un firmware plus récent:
http://tmerle.blogspot.fr/2012/10/melehtpc0929betav13-revised-version_28.html
Mais je ne sais pas s'il est compatible avec le Mele A3700.
Au pire, il est compatible mais vous n'aurez que 4Go de FLASH accessible, sur les 8 disponibles.
Utilisez sous PhoenixCard sous Windows: http://www.lundman.net/ftp/mele/PhoenixCardV306_2012_03_02.zip
Replaced v1 to this and works fine. Now need to install proper apk's. Thanks very much
RépondreSupprimerFound a problem. After install and rebooted the device it worked ok but after another reboot it was stuck on Mele logo with 2 green and red. Any Ideas? Thanks.
SupprimerPlease look at the latest firmware:http://tmerle.blogspot.fr/2012/11/melehtpc0929betav13-revised-version.html
SupprimerHello Thierry! I've just bought a Mele A3700. But it's all in Chinese without Google Play etc. So, it's a bit useless for me :/ You've managed to do something for that but I don't know how to change the ROM to my TV Box. Can you help me ? Some instructions step-by-step ?
RépondreSupprimerHello,
Supprimersomething you can try simply is to use the ES Explorer trick:
http://tmerle.blogspot.fr/2014/01/how-to-install-applications-without.html
You won't need to install a modified firmware.
Otherwise, you can install the latest firmware: http://tmerle.blogspot.fr/2014/04/mele-v2052-enus-firmware-fixing-netflix.html, based on a firmware compatible with Mele A3700.
