Trying to Find a Way to Fix Lip-Sync on Excel 2.3.4

[Trashcooky]

Hi
Any more ideas? tried a lot of media players all out of sync..shame vlc player for android doesn't a way to adjust audio time/ delay like pc version has

If your tablet is definitely an Excel (I assume running Gingerbread 2.3.4) then you can fix the lipsync by flahing a custom rom but this is not without risk and will likely invalidate any warranty that may be left on the tablet.

I agree there can be a lot of reading - if you have no idea at all how to approach this then have a root around in here for some salient tips and information.: viewtopic.php?f=20&t=2757

I'm not sure if your question was rhetorical or not
In case you were asking seriously then this gives you a pretty good splash in the deep end.

OK then this is where you have to decide how brave you really are.
You can can work with this thread viewtopic.php?f=55&t=1800&hilit=How+to+get+CWM+on+the+EXCEL#p12958 which warns against using it with Excels with firmware: 97F2-D1-H1-H01-1748.20120307 which is later than yours. Yours appears to be a 2011 model.

However, you must accept that there are always risks and there are no guarantees once you start tinkering with flashing firmware. However, I doubt that you will want to go back to Gingerbread once you have tried ICS on the Excel anyway, especially Suggsy89's optimised custom rom for ICS 4.0.3 and the update zip to ICS 4.0.4
But be warned if anything goes wrong it can seriously break your tablet, although fortunately the Allwinner A10 processor can be booted from a usb connection so there are usually ways back but before you start you must be prepared to accept the risk of possibly breaking your tablet and turning it into an expensive brick.

You only really need to get CWM on your Excel using the method shown in the links above if you think you might ever want to go back to Gingerbread, as by flashing Suggsy89's 4.0.3 ROM using livesuite gives you CWM anyway as Suggsy has included it in the 4.0.3 firmware. However, you may wish to backup all your apps (unless they are easily re-downloadable) using Titanium Backup https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... WNrdXAiXQ.. (requires root but I believe your model Excel came rooted straight from the box)

In fact just to make sure you are rooted best to carry out this simple test. Firstly dowload and install an app from Playstore called Superuser (SU): https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... 2lkLnN1Il0.

Then download and install android terminal emulator: https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... HRlcm0iXQ.. When both are installed run terminal emulator and when you see the command prompt, type su and then enter/return.
If the $ sign changes to a # sign then the tablet is rooted. if your tablet is rooted then you can proceed along your chosen path.

Should you choose not to backup your Gingerbread ROM first then there is one available which appears to be slightly earlier than yours - 97F1-D1-H1-H01-1291-20111122 in the unlikely event you want to go back to GB - or alternatively get CWM on your tablet first and make your own backup first which you can store seperately (i.e. on your main PC)

Once you have read enough to be happy in using Livesuite then use this thread to download the necessary files. viewtopic.php?f=48&t=3012&start=20#p24501

Have a look at this as it explains almost everything you need to know: http://tinyurl.com/7gq44mf

I almost forgot, in order to be able to use livesuite you ned to turn on usb debugging on your tablet. Go to settings/Developer Options/ USB debugging - put a tick in the box.
Good hunting and happy hacking.

To update to ICS 4.0.4 from the 4.0.3 rom you have now.

Firstly, make sure you have the 4.0.4 update zip on your tablet's external SD card - you can drag and drop using the USB connection.

1. turn the tablet off
2. hold down the menu button
3. whilst holding down the menu button also hold down the power button
4. keep both buttons depressed even whilst the android figure is on screen and until the tablet boots into CWM
5. using the volume up/down keys - choose to install update zip
6. using the volume keys to navigate up/down choose the 4.0.4 update zip file
7. use the power button to select and wait till update has finished
8. use the back key (if necessary) to navigate back to the reboot system
9. select reboot system
10. Hey presto you now are running ICS 4.0.4

Go to about tablet and you will see the OS shows as 4.0.4.
Although you can't see it yourself (without digging into the system files) your tablet will now appear on Google play as a Samsung Galaxy i9100. This will give you access to many more apps than you could see before.

it won't recognise it on sd card..do i have to rename 4.0.4 as update.zip?
