Still not having any luck with getting the TV-Out to work on my S601 (I am using NTSC).  Any way select the format?  The screen on TV is black and white and flipping (scrolling up fast and all wavy like old school cable scramblers did for the pay per view channels back in the day).

Triverse try this apk that I included in my rom as an extra. Just substitute for the one you have and reboot.

I am using your custom ROM, Skelton, how do I switch out that APK for the installed one?  I can't uninstall the version installed.

TriVerse, probably you will need an application like titanium Backup to uninstall it because it is a system application.

Another option is run Root Explorer for example and sustitute the two files of the apk for the same ones in System/app  and reboot.

Got TV-Out working, thanks Skelton.  I have another problem, it is black and white. lol  Any idea why?  Also, if I insert the plug all the way in, I get the scrambled screen- it has to be about 2/3 inserted and then the pic works just fine (though black and white).

TriVerse, I really don't know about the black and white problem, since my tv is pal. Maybe is a problem of the cable?? I know that there are some cables that don't use a rgb signal and image it's black and white, but i don't know is it's a problem of the cable... Have you got another cable or tv to test it?
It's the only thing that comes to my mind.

I'm working on compiling with the current configuration but so success, family obligations this weekend so not a lot of progress.

But ya still working on it. So i think its going to be more than just a simple import config and make.

I have a couple of cables here that I am going to try but only the one TV.  I have the RCA type cables, they are the only ones I could find online.  Still pretty cool just seeing it work, gives me hope to keep trying (was at my wits end when I discovered the partially inserted trick).

Thanks for the help man, and to everyone that has helped hack the S601 in this thread.

Cannot wait to see what you'll be able to do from the source...
Don't hesitate to give details  ;)

Re: Skelrom v1 for jxd s601

I quote myself, because the links are ok now.

Version Pro: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/69559458/SkelRom%20v1%20Pro.rar

Version Lite: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/69559458/SkelRom%20v1%20LITE.rar

Hi, I've made a Custom ROM for JXD s601, it is based on the last 800 mhz firm by JXD but it is modified. Some of the main features are:


Main features:
-   1 ghz CPU speed.
-   Rooted.
-   MARKET installed.
-   Gamehub launcher deleted and changed for Go Launcher EX
-   Build.prop modified (XperiaPlay)
-   Keylayout modified (button layout XperiaPlay style)
-   Duplicated libraries deleted.
-   Emus y apps installed in data/apps (can be upgraded or uninstalled)
-   Emus included and installed: Nesoid, Gensoid, Gearoid, Snes 9x EX , Snesoid, Tiger Arcade, GBCoid, Ataroid
-   Apps Included and installed: Chainfire 3d, Battery Indicator, Es Explorador de Archivos, Rom ToolBox, Youtube.
-   Changed the bootanimation for a different one (Zelda triforce).
-   Some build.prop tweaks to improve performance and make better ram consumption.
-   Spanish language by default (you can change that easily)


I’ve included a folder called Extras that includes the following:
-   build.prop “original” and original keylayouts (copy them in system/usr/keylayout to use it)
-   Kernels at different speeds (If you don’t like that the machine run at 1 ghz (installation instruction of kernel updates included).
-   TVOUT app for NTSC that have problems with the default one.
-   SetCPU profile. Copy to the root of your SD if you use this application (not included in the ROM)

More info and download (I recommend reading the readme inside the rar)

Bye!!!

Let me know if they work (if someone wants to install it)

Works like a champ !!!  I love Go Launcher too.. much better than ADW.

A question for you. I'm triying to sign my update.zip (tried too with your update.zip, unzipped on a temporary folder and zipped again, no changes on filelist) but with no success. What tool have you used to zip your update file?
I try zipsginer 2 on the device.. and signpak.jar on macos with no luck.

Every time I try to update the device from the boot loader, starts cheking the update.zip but the installation stop with E:bootloader bad arguments.
In the root folder of the SDCARD still having all the files needed to update, the zip file and factory_update_param.aml, u-boot-aml-ucl, uImage and uImage_recovery

What I'm doing wrong?

obocaman, to sign it it is just using sign apk, I don't know about using it in mac os x since I use Windows 7, maybe you can try with another version of java? Java is quite problematic, and I don't know which version you need in mac os x.
About the bootloader bad arguments, this happens if you don't have the factory.aml file or if this file is looking for a file with a specific name. (usually update.zip, unless you edit it).

Anyway if you want to create a custom rom, I don't recommend make changes and just resign it, because if you don't change your updater-script, probably installation will fail. To create a custom the best thing to do in my opinion is taking the 800 mhz firm base (which is clean) and make the changes from there.

Making a full firm from 0 and taking sources it should be. But I think it's difficult to do that, and I don't hope that JXD releases a ICS firmware for s601.

Could you not hack a ready made rom from another device like a tablet or phone?

I don't think it's so easy, because probably drivers are differente (wifi, sound, screen..) so I think that we had to compile drivers to do it... but I am not an expert in this matter.
