[Q] Hipstreet Aurora - Need help putting CM 10 on - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

so i just bought Hipstreet Aurora (HS-7DTB6-8GB) and i happened to notice a button under backup and reset in settings for the recovery menu.
I have access to apply update from external storage however i know its not safe to use a default recovery menu in case of a brick,
Its been quite some time since i had my HTC Dream and had put Cyanogen on that, so im a bit rusty, i just need a more experienced user to guide me through flashing CM10 on an a unknown tablet, i was surprised to find the recovery menu on it.
any ways i would need someone to show me how to go about doing so, im sure alot of people here have experience flashing newer untested androids.
if it is of any help here is the
Baseband version
HS-GP707_20121116
Kernel version
3.0.8+
Build number
nuclear_gp707pub-eng 4.0.4 IMM76D 20121117 test-keys
Recovery Utility
gp707pub 3e
much appreciated to any one who replies and has experience in this field.
and if i am able to get this done ill happily post a tutorial for other Hipstreet owners
EDIT - it also appears that the tablet comes rooted, im able to over clock it with voltage control.

I'd also like to second this. I will post a file with the full specs of the tablet. I have looked at the AllWinner A10 page but it's stated for CM9 and I am unable to find enough information to see if other tablets with similar hardware and specs will work with CM.
This is quite a decent tablet, once you remove all the background junk (TitaniumBackupPro) overclock it (SetCPU) you can run some decent apps on it. Been playing Order&Chaos on it nicely. Though, messenger type apps are quite slow and so is the inbuilt browser. Firefox doesn't help all that much either so with CM10's features it will run quite nicely. Too bad the tablet is missing Bluetooth, tend to tether internet with that =P

*bump*
I'd really like someone with much more experience to look into this please?

---

anyone know the steps to installing cyanogen on an unknown device?? where are the developers at!

---

CM10
Had any luck with this yet? Trying the same thing, no luck yet. And yes these come rooted

unfortunately no, waiting on a response, im thinking tomorrow i will post on cyanogenmod's forum requesting a port, i'll post the link here if anything.
the demand for a port must not be small seeing as we have 3 people here all waiting on the same thing.

---

still no luck
ok

-Bump-
Do not want this thread to die =P

Can anyone help? o3o

10 Day overdue Bump 8P
Cmon I'm sick of the crap that came with this >_< so much that's in it that doesn't need to be there >_> and would be nice to use the CM settings for overclocking instead of relying on SetCPU and it's slowness x-x especially on this tablet with such limited RAM =S
EDIT: I would take the time in going about experimenting myself but you see I don't have another tablet to replace and haven't really been able to go about learning how to create my own ROM especially at the level of CM >_>
As soon as time is free I'll take it a shot though ^_^

BUMP-Info
So I am hoping for a possible CM10 Mod for the Hipstreet Aurora, but in the meantime I am going to try and develop my own ROM for this tablet in hopes to increase performance, remove unwanted bloatware and increase the user experience without the nags of what this tablet comes with. If anyone with a considerable amount of experience in Custom ROM building is willing to take up this, I'll be more than willing to accept your help. I'll send you a Stock ROM once such is opened to discussion.
I'll post a new thread in the means of a new project.
P.S This tablet has really good potential, just with some decent tweaks, this tablet will actually run quite well.

Glad you are working on a rom for this. I've been fighting with a hipstreet aurora HS-7DTB6-8GBR (Allwinner A13) 1112V706
So far I bricked it with an app called android tuner, then I learned to use file suit to flash the Tragidy momo firmware to it. The tablet does work again, but with minor problems. Since the tragidy firmware is for a Chinese tablet with the same motherboard, the momo has a different case with different buttons, screen and gyro. So now my touchscreen is completely reversed (display is okay), the headphone jack doesnt work, and the gyro doesnt work either. On the plus side I can use it with a mouse through the usb dongle, and with a hub even a keyboard. Also the tragidy build is much faster, and has a working google play store.
I have decided to dust off my ubuntu crate and will attempt to modify the tragidy firmware to properly map the buttons, touchscreen, and gsensors.
I do hope hope you are more successful than I am and look forward to your results, as I'm not entirely confident in my ability to translate my very limited linux kernel skills to the android kernel.
Good Luck:good::good:

Hmm, well since you already have a semi-stable firmware, with reference, you could get the firmware to run like a charm. I'm currently running Windows and have had some promising outcomes, along with some drawbacks, but I can say that this tablet could be promising. :good:

Hi, any update on the ROM that you're building? I'm actually looking for a stock ROM for Hipstreet Aurora - my sister handed me a bricked Aurora and it had no backup ROM, even the recovery mode seems busted. Anyway, I found a HS Aurora firmware dump online (I forgot the link though) but data.tgz was missing so the restore via adb and Uberizer was not a success. I've managed to flash a Momo9 Tragidy firmware (everything ok except for gsensor and button mapping) and also tried another a13 firmware (it runs faster, but again auto-rotate doesn't work and button functions are interchanged). I'm thinking of going back to the stock ROM - I think I have a better chance at removing the bloatware and customizing it than fixing the gsensor and the buttons.
UPDATE: I was able to remap the buttons using Button Remapper, my only problem now is the gsensor/ auto-rotate.

Stock Firmware
Hey, was wondering if any of you have a rom dump of the stock firmware. I didnt backup mine before I flashed it. I did get the touch screen and gsensor working perfect now, but my front camera doesnt work, but the back camera does. Hope someone has a rom dump. Thanks in advance!
