i do have the c03ref 8726-m1 board from visson.
atv-108. old board. and i do get the cursor replacement problem every once in a while. a crash usually precedes the glitch, then i can never undo it.

Hmm... can you reproduce that bug every time or it occures only sometimes - random?
If you can reproduce it every time please save log... and post step-by-step how to reproduce it...
- fresh install?
- after some app installed?
- ...
On my c03ref 8726-m1 that never happen... I think Stane was unable to reproduce that bug also...

it never happens on the first reboot after a fresh install, it usually happens after flash crashes in browser, it happens even if i don't install any programs. but it is still kinda random. it doesnt happen everytime in those circumstances..but usually. i will try to catch a log of it if i can.
That gives me an idea... So, glitch is happening when something changes in osd1/2 layers... Mouse pointer is stored in osd2 layer... I still didn't found where mousepointer is actually loaded, but I think it's good starting point...
About webcam.... tested with native Camera app, it doesn't work (camera turned on, but no picture and Camera app freezes). Tested with skype and it works. It has some scaling issues, you can't see your picture properly, but other side sees normal picture.
Camera used for test: Logitech C170 webcam

I don't know how do you apply your update, 'cause afaik you don't have atv-108. Gapps are applied to the device with new_patch.zip, and in factory_update_param.aml line --update_patch=/sdcard/new_patch.zip must exist.

do you mean where mouse is loading from or where it's loading to? from is framework-ser.jar i think, and to is framebuffer, or does android not hardware render the cursor?
To be honest, I didn't really investigate further how mouse pointer is handled, but from what I saw - that pointer params are defined in kernel configuration, it seems that it's loaded by Android and saved somewhere in buffer. Need to find that peace of code...
About microphone, that's the case on my c03 as well, but I taught it was hardware issue (don't ask what kind
).... Seems that microphone is connected trough usb interface, and usb audio is disabled in kernel because I'm getting compilation errors of kernel if usb audio is enabled... I might be wrong.... Do you have same experience on 06-12?@Everyone: About EAC3 or DD+, seems to be hardware limitation of audio decoder (same firmware file is used for AC3 and EAC3/DD+)... EAC3 refuses to work on m1 platform. On m3 platform works like a charm...

no microphone on 0612 version either. derp. i really like the voice search feature. i hope it can be fixed..
Ok, it's confirmed then... On my kernel builds usb audio support is disabled and mic doesn't work.... will fix that, soon I hope...

nope. changing extension to mp4 did nothing. video seems to load, timer changes, but video never starts and wont play.
The problem happens everytime there is a major glitch on the system. Im pretty sure you 2 can reproduce if you change the resolution and play with it 2 or 3 times. Happened to me that way, happened in browser and happened last night... when i had the briliant idea to install 3d chainfire to test GPU and get logs. Device goes black after logo, still the cursor becomes a logo. Gonna try to SD card recovery. i have about 700 movies... i dont know if it will help but i will try out some codecs to see what i can get.
Quick question @stane1983 How can i get the files from ftp://218.17.181.67? seems to be down as its not even respond to ICMP. Or can i just use your firmware instead?

you cannot use this firmware. the ftp in question is an old mesada corp link for the fv1 and fv3. they had another ftp later, see androidforums.com and search for fv3. but this newer ftp link also went dead in the beginning of april...if you have a fv1, i have same question of where to get firmware updates now as i have a mesada fv3. but this is the wrong thread for that.
What i have is a ZAP A9 with 8726-M rev 1 on c03ref board.
I found this link as "backup" for this server:
Index of /drivers/Flexiview
im downloading now to see if it works. My device is not hard bricked (yet) but the black screen with cursor problem on Stane's rom is enough to get me stopped, since i have no way of getting into recovery mode, as my box misteriously has no reset button. So i gotta try something.
I tried now for 15 minutes switching resolutions between 1080p/720p/576p trying to reproduce mouse pointer error without any luck
Can you give me more details about your TV sets, eg. HDMI version or just model no. of your TV.... maybe it has something with HDMI compatibility... I really can't figure it out right now...

Insignia NS-42L780A12
42' lcd from best buy.
Insignia
also does cursor replacement when connected with HDMI to DVI cable and input into Chimei CMV 946D
Newegg.com - CHIMEI CMV 946D-Silver Silver 19" 2ms Widescreen LCD Monitor 350 cd/m2 650:1
also, try going into development under settings and turn on Force GPU in 2D apps. then restart and see if it does it. that sometimes triggered it for me. sometimes switching to a new monitor or TV would make it happen to. and sometimes after a flash crash in Browser. always after a restart. never in the middle of use would the cursor change.
UPDATE: if i wipe caches and make sure i do a very 'clean' install, e.g. delete cache and data, then cursor problem seems to not happen. let me try to trigger it and i'll try to log it.
UPDATE2: Stane1983, i also tried to do the onclickodex script and use that one website to adjust services.jar, but the oneclickdeodexs script killed the box. had to reinstall fresh.
EDIT: also, external mic port on c03ref doesnt work.

Im using an ACER H274HL monitor. but i had the same problem while connected using video component on a Panasonic plasma TV. Im pretty sure its not related to the HDMI, since it didnt only happened while changing resolution. happened when installed busybox, happened when i played some flash on browser and now that i have installed 3d chainfire too. It happened every time i got the message UI HAS STOPPED.
Which of your 2 devices doesn't have reset button? Give me the link, I'll try to find manufacturer.... Reset button must be somewhere on pcb....
This one.
1080P Android 2.3 Media Player w/ WiFi / HDMI / SD (Cortex A9 1.0GHz / 2GB) - Worldwide Free Shipping - DX
The other one has it, but i havent messed with it yet. i opened to find the reset button, found nothing. I can send a picture of the inside if you need.
