Hi Folks. In return for helpful suggestions to my questions below, I'm giving away 50 Google+ invites.
I'm just getting ready for a trip to Europe and would like to upgrade the default Android 2.3 on my new tablet from China. The existing Android 2.3 on it is designed for mobile phones and is also clunky. I know Android 2.3 is only designed for mobile phones, and Android 3.x will be for tablets (and is not yet released by Google to everyone), but I wanted to see if there is a custom Android 2.3 ROM I could use that's better than the stock one and works better for a tablet, and also has less mobile phone processes running, e.g. I had to install a free app to put the darn thing into "Airplane Mode" (which turned off a lot of the mobile phone processes) and still use Wi-Fi, which increased the battery life by 300% !!
So, my Android 7" tablet specs are:
- full details at: www[dot]techtoys2go[dot]com/quicksilver
- Operating System: Android 2.3.3, Kernel version 2.6.35.7
- Processor: Telechips TCC8803 1.2GHz
- Screen: 7", 800*480 multi-touch
- Touchscreen: capacitive (I did NOT buy the cheaper resistive version)
- Memory: 512MB DDR3
- Storage: 4GB built in
- Card Reader: microSD up to 32GB
- Audio: speaker, phones, mic
- Other Ports: miniHDMI, miniUSB
- Webcam: VGA front facing
- 3G Network: 3G ready, external dongle
- Wi-Fi: 802.11b/g
- G Sensor: yes
- Battery: 3.7v 3600mAh lithium
Which custom Android 2.3 ROM do you think will work on this and is good? Help me out guys, I need an answer quick so I can root/burn this sucker in the next few days before my trip on Monday. First 50 cool responses get a Google+ invite Hope that's tempting enough. LOL
Cheers
Steve
You should take a look over on Android Tablet Forum, they have sections for a lot of Chinese Tablets:
http://www.androidtablets.net/forum/
Thanks Killall. I took a look, but didn't see anything useful there. Cheers
Well, it seems there is a nice looking ROM specifically for these cheap Chinese tablets. I'm not sure if it will work on my 7" Android tablet, but I guess the only way to find out is to try it. If anyone has any suggestions before I try it, let me know:

Hi, I have the same one since a week ago. Unfortunatelly I updated it with another Android OS and now I don't have WIFI. May I ask you if you are still on the original firmware to send me the file wpa_supplicant.config? Or if you have the original ROM it will the best way if you can send me the link to download it. Thanks.

Thank you for your answer! Is your device rooted? Because only if it's rooted you can go to the folder where the file is. Or maybe you have the ROM? That will be the best way if you have the ROM to send it to me. Or to ask your reseller to send it to you? By the way where did you buy it from? That might help me to obtain the original firmware.
Thanks

How is the folder named? Let me look in to that first, i don't think the site allows direct company names that sell this product.
I'm surprised about the low info here on this tablet.
Maybe new info i found will help, it's also known as superpad.
And I'm sure it's no fake. Google it. I will not advertise here.
Still need some good info and answers.
Send from my Flytouch 5. (Mercury)
I bought one of these chunks of crap, it ran for 24 hrs now it won't boot it had newer yospad firmware but I can't remember the exact build cause it won't boot now. What I need to know is how to do a hardware reset, not the little reset button it just restarts it or another yospad rom.
Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks

I've been sent the latest firmware from the supplier as well as the flash player file if you want it

Who the hell gives names to this devices .. ? Flytouch 5 ? zomg!
this is the ONLY company that has the Infotmic SoC available for implementing into tablets:
http://www.shuoying.com/global/index.asp
http://www.shuoying.com/global/Product.asp?/3.html (tablet page)
I Know that, cause I personally visited the head of Infotmic SoC design (Shenzhen) and ShuoYing CEO, also in Shenzhen (Infotmic HQ is from Shanghai)
If there is any other tablet with "Flytouch" design, then they are tempered from the original tablet made by Shuoying, or they are so wild that it is really a mystery of it's origin.
My guess is that those are regular FT2 (since all have the same CPU) tweaked by some wild chinese people, Kernel and OS, and RAM/ROM
not to all - dont buy tablets from companies that dont show up in 1-2 hours search. You'll end up with tablet that someone assembled by hand and a screwdriver, and most probably extremely bad OS.
flashing rom on yospad
Use only Z4 to root the yospad. Can someone leave link for fw flash for yospad

I think your completely right there.
I use it for a remote control know.
Thanks for the input btw.
Digital Zoro - im sorry for your failed tablet device.
On the other hand - I find the FT2 design to be the best tablet design ever. it obviously lacks the fine finish, and better materials, but - 10 inch wide tablet, with every god damn port there is - pure win.
I saw the "actual" FT3 in Infotmic Shenzhen, and it looks awesome - capacitive screen, ARM Cortex A8 based infotmic SoC (about time dudes, you are sooo late) .. dont know why isnt out yet, cause all those named "FT3" dont have same specs as the one I saw.

My Flytouch 5
The design is not really bad and i like that it has the rj-45 port.
The screen I find bad. No multitouch and slow reaction when touched.
Its thick and heavy to hold.
Flytouch 5 should have GPS build in, but it doesn't.
The Flytouch 2 3 4 5 are all the same design. On one moment it lost the second mini sd slot.
Is this only with the fake ones?
No, they are all faulty. the forementioned Shuoying company makes crapy tablets
I took for bussines 30 units the first time around, and I still have 6 broken units. others had flaws, mostly of how they are assembled - everything is sticking out, and such. USB/SD slots die more often than you could imagine.
buttons are the biggest problem - they are not glued in & soldered - they are JUST soldered. so the only thing that holds them into place is Tin (Sn) and we all know how that is firm and solid
oh, there is also a screen problem - there are 3 types of ZIF wire-to-board connector types for the screen, so if you ever need a screen replacement - dont even think about it.
the best assembled chinese tablet is from a company Utopia, in my expirience. you can find them by the name "imx515" A8 or A10 tablet. it turns out that solutions for assemble is better than most of the branded companies.
I have a MID purchased from Tradestead.com , Their stock# is a tradestead.com/wholesale-7-capacitive-android-2-3-wifi-4gb-tablet-pc-mid-a10-1-2ghz-consumption_p15297.html PPC-180-2MX
It looks identical to a Bmorn V11, Aldi Minitab, Skytex Alpha 2, goclever a73, LY-F1, etc.
(I have tried all of these FW, but none are working for the digitizer, some are better in allowing some response, others no response at all.
LY-F1 has the ft5x_ts module and was the closest of them all to getting the MID's Digitizer to work right; LY-F1 was perfect in all ways except the gravity sensor was 180 degrees off (hold it and up was down) and left was right on the touch screen.
So, does anyone know how to tweak the module so that I can correct the screen orientation? I am CLOSE...
Here are the specs on the original FW:
Model: Crane-evb-v13
Android Version: 2.3.4
Kernel: 2.6.36-android [email protected] #4
Build Number: crane_evb_v13-eng 2.3.4 GRJ22 eng.mhc.20111202.113113 test-keys
Same basic specs as mentioned above models and same casing;
A10 1Ghz + Mali400, 512MB DDR3, 4GB NAND, 7" TFT LCD 800x480 5 Point Capacitive, WIFI b/g/n
I really need to have assistance in locating the FW because the seller WILL NOT help and WILL NOT disclose what supplier and or manufacture this MID is from (I have called Hong Kong and China offices, spoke to them and they are nice but refuse and make up excuses as to why they cannot get original FW and upload to their site)
I do have an identical MID (I ordered two) and don't know anything about how or where or if possible to get the driver, etc. So, I have a working MID and the Mystery MID..
As far as I can see is having the need to calibrate the MID; I have searched on how to calibrate via adb shell but I have not found anything really that is helping.
Any help appreciated.

Sorry, my bad english
PM me, I may have what you need.
Hello, please take some time to read through this, and if you can, help me out! I have a Panimage tablet and am currently trying to make it usable. Here are the specs:
Operating System: Android 1.6 (Donut)
Model Number: R79RTW5
Kernel Version: 2.6.29
Build Number: WMT2.1.6_PD_N
Memory Size: 256 MB
Internal Memory: 2 GB
Display: 7'' 800x480
It was so slow that I was tempted to just throw it away. However, I decided to play around with it and attempt to make it usable. This is the first Android device that I have owned. You could call me an Apple "fanboy" - I love all things Apple. I've jailbroken my iPod and my mom's iPad. Unfortunately when it comes to Android I'm pretty clueless
I've looked around the Internet and found several ROMs. The one I installed supposedly updated it to HoneyComb, although it is still pretty slow.
Basically, I know how to install a ROM, I just don't know which one to install. Does anyone here have a Panimage tablet on which they have installed a custom ROM that works well? Obviously, I don't expect an experience like an iPad, but currently I can't even connect to Wifi, let alone use the Internet or check my email. If anyone knows of a ROM for my tablet that they know will work, please tell me! Thank you!
Hey all. I am really new to the forum so I apologize if this is posted in the wrong place. There seems to be a million places this could get posted so Ill post here to start off!
My gf's mother gave her this cheap tablet called the Supernova from Pandigital. As some of you might now, Pandigital went out of business so there is no support for this tablet. It is still running android 2.3.1. I read that andoird 4.4 only needs 512mb of RAM and felt like it is the perfect opportunity to upgrade this tablet. My gf gave it to me to tinker with so I would love to get KitKat on it!
So i guess my question is how can I start learning more about installing android on devices so I can possibly put it on this tablet? Also where is the best place to post about this device.
Tablet Specs:
Screen: 600x800 7or8in
OS: Android 2.3.1
RAM: 512mb
Memory: 4gb
Ext. Memory: 16gb Micro SD card
Proccessor: Samsung S5PV210
CPU Type: ARM Coretex-A8
CPU Speed: 1.06GHz
GPU: Unknown
Bluetooth: 2.1
Wifi: 802.11 b/g/n
Almost 80 people have viewed this post and no one has responded. Can someone at least point me in the right direction of learning how to install or modify android to work with this device? Or even the basic tutorials that can help me learn about coding for android and making this work.
