After upgrading to firmware 2.0, you should definitely run audiopatch.apk (as described in the instructions), otherwise there will be no hardware sound during playback.

CWM
What is it for?
Can I back up my system in case of a breakdown? Yes, there is such an opportunity. To do this, you need to install "CWM Recovery". CWM downloads the device, bypassing the OS and allows you to make a backup (full system image) and fully restore the functionality of your device.
Attention! Everything that is laid out in this category does not guarantee the correct operation of the device. All actions performed on your device, you perform at your own peril and risk.

Useful tips
Here are collected tips, mainly regarding system modifications - be careful!
*********************************************
SpellCaster: Win32Imager should write only images that are called dd-able image. Ordinary images write by Phoenix
*********************************************
On some recent firmware, in order to avoid"eternal boot"(hang when loading) you can try to installpatched market
*********************************************
IF THERE IS NO SOUND WHEN PLAYING A VIDEO:
It is necessary:to establish
Attached fileaudiopatchextend.apk(171.67 KB)
, run, click on the buttonPATCH, and thenreboot(on many recent firmwares the patch is installed by default and it is not necessary to run it).
*********************************************
For those who lack the settings for the color buttons and the "For Developers" add-on menu in firmware 1.2(you need to set the downloaded file right for example in the Root Explorer on rw- r-- r--)
*********************************************
Advice fromdmig:
Advice to everyone who changes the firmware: save the file /data/misc/radio/imei.conf once, and upload it after each flashing before setting up your Google account - then a lot of devices will not multiply onto play.google.com.

*********************************************
Decisionfloating MAC problems:
Floating MAC problem
tuscanman: Easier at the top of the /system/bin/preinstall.sh file to enter the necessary command lines (without su). Then the machine will start to work when it starts (the goal, I suppose, is this?). It will turn out like this:
#! / system / bin / busybox sh
BUSYBOX = "/ system / bin / busybox"

# enter from here
ifconfig eth0 down
$ BUSYBOX ifconfig eth0 hw ether XX: XX: XX: XX: XX: XX (your MAC address)
ifconfig eth0 up

# and up to here. anything below is unchanged.

if [! -e /data/system.notfirstrun]; then
/ system / bin / sh / system / bin / pm preinstall / system / preinstall
/ system / bin / sh / system / bin / pm preinstall / sdcard / preinstall

P.S. In the MAC settings, the "floating" is displayed, but it really changes to the one specified in the script

*********************************************
Add additional libraries for hardware decoding
Support for hardware decoding of audio and video is provided by the media processor (hardware) and the corresponding libraries (the layer between the software and hardware). But for some reason in the discussed devices (Mele / Digma / Ikonbit / 3Q) the support in libraries of some audio and video formats, to put it mildly, has been cut. As a result, we have on some (read: "almost all") files only software decoding.
Dose of anabolic: D to correct this disgrace:libs_for_mele_HW_decode.zip
Includes libraries needed
libCedarA.so
libcedarv_adapter.so
libcedarv_base.so
libcedarv.so
libcedarxbase.so
libcedarxosal.so
libcedarxsftstream.so
libCedarX.so
(this is for hardware playback)
libflashplayer.so
(and this one for flash)
It is necessary to unpack the archive and received* .so files to put in / system / lib /on the device.
No overload required.But it is better to copy the existing files in advance for the possibility of rollback.

About the work of Skype:
tuscanman:
Skype works for everyone. You will see and hear your counterpart anyway. Problems will be on your part. Namely: the sound can be brought into the device only via USB, and this is in the embryo firmware. And the settings of the camera (s) in the device itself are none.
Therefore, at the moment - how lucky. To be lucky in the future - you need a camera, in the description / title of which there are magic letters UVC and which has a built-in microphone, and connected via USB (that is, no 3.5 mm audio jacks).

You must also enable audio capture from USB. To do this, you need to change the file /system/build.prop, adding the following lines:
usb.audio.cap.device = pcmC0D0c
audio.input.active = AUDIO_CODEC
The first involves capturing audio from USB, the second enables its encoding.
P.S. build.prop can be edited inThisthe program

Keyboard operation
To work correctly with the Russian text on the keyboard, use the program.Russian Keyboard . It can be downloaded from Google Play.
Imploded @ 05/27/2012, 05:11*
I use an external keyboard, but I installed the Russian Keyboard to switch languages.
By the way, if someone did not know, from the keyboard control:
F1, F2, F3, F4 - can be configured to quickly invoke applications (configured in the "Settings"), an analogue of the color buttons on the remote
F10 - application menu

vint99: For those who want to watch TV broadcast from SopCast and maybe I don’t know how to do it, recently I figured it out and now on TV in Euro HD I’m watching:
1. Start the broadcast on the camp in SopCast
2. Run MxPlayer
3. Menu - Network Stream
writehttp: // IPof your computer: 8902 / stream (it looks like this to me:http://192.168.0.100:8902/stream)
I do not know why such a port, did not understand, and so everything works
You can put the application SopCast 0.8.7 for android,
here it is, but it still runs for me only in software decoding and 1080p and 720p brake

Bought the day before yesterday, this device .Vpechatlenie -apparat very raw, Help Desk nikakaya.No take back is not going to, because nothing like (the player with the operating system-not seen) .Place firmware 2.0 (keep in mind that you need to use a memory card for more than 2 grams .and class 6 above (I 2 g did not even record)). The sound did not appear, the installation is solved mhpleera.

I do not know whether it is possible here to ask questions about the software, but the device is highly specific and do not think that in the main branch of the program will give the answer.
Here's what I have not been able to eliminate -

1 -I external keyboard does not switch to the Russian keyboard layout yazyk.Kak solve?
2, how to remove unnecessary with the help of a regular conductor?
2 external disk.Navernoe because NTSF format it, it sees only the device itself or other managers or torrent of his customers do not vidyat.Dazhe do not know how to set the path to it.

While using the device as a network player with films such as IVI applications, and most importantly-not while I can type in search words Russian: lol:

Rep: (1)
It is good that the topic of discussion this player was moved to independent IcoBIT site.
For criticizing and exposing the origins of the appearance of the device, the local zealous workers IcoBIT, without the slightest warning or clarification, simply falsely blocked my access to the forum IcoBIT site
on the theme: "Iconbit Toucan SMART", that I was there and opened.
Kindergarten ... and even with a sore ego in an effort to promote in Russia the "raw" Chinese crafts, and to the dismay of buyers, are not appropriate to their own statements, performance and functionality.

Interestingly, and who in this case is to solve all customer questions, just support IcoBIT wants to do nothing?

Unfortunately I have to admit the following for Iconbit Toucan SMART:

1. The exhibition COMMUNICATIONS 2012, talked c "MeLe" managers at the stand of the Chinese firm. That they have, with the model A1000, IcoBIT
and "borrowed" design and filling for Iconbit Toucan SMART.
By the way, if earlier TOUCAN SMART, IcoBIT represented as Internet media console with Android OS, but now, he is the player on your site is like - mini PC "TOUCAN SMART" with Android OS!
See the difference, i.e., even now we borrowed from the company's "MeLe" and claimed their device functionality.
http://www.mele.cn/cn/web/pro_show.aspx?cid=46&pid=60
Overview Mele A1000:
http://www.fight.org.ua/publications/obzor_Mele_A1000.html

2. Alas, IPTV on the player Iconbit Toucan SMART is impossible to watch.
Tandem: IPTV + MxPlayer. If someone turned out as something to revive this tandem for Iconbit Toucan SMART,
please write how it was done.
Most interesting is that a number of standing Iconbit Toucan W works perfectly, from the same used
router and with the same downloaded applications.

3. It does not work in Flash Player, both hardware and software, because of this, many sites may not look
webTV.
4. Use, without any problems for a long time with the players, wireless keyboard Logitech k400, works great as a Iconbit Toucan SMART, and with Iconbit Toucan W.
