:D +1 here

Been running on EU V1.7b for ITE for past few months, which works for me - now that I've time after jb wife's ipad2 that she badly wanted (not giving up "my" vpad7 yet with games) - d/l and flashed this ROM.

Initial feedback: it's lean & streamlined, works for ITE screen (yeah !!) and got A2SD working as well without trouble - seemed very responsive, snappy & cool. Whatever is not preloaded, installed - I can either get from newest Market or restore from TB saved.

Got my favorite widgets, launcher & settings, etc. that I'm going to configure and later tonight, get Angry Bird verisons & saved scores/results - and let's see how it's going (will update my findings here, stay tuned.)

Nice work based on stock ROM - still no OC kernel for our Vpad7 but I'm going to checkout Flash Player too.

Update #1 - (14 Feb. 2012) - everything looked good so far, I repeated the setup last night - using older CWMRecovery to format SD ext3 partition and then moved everything saved back onto the mSD card. Using DT's A2SD and it's excellent, the A2SDGUI showing exactly how memories are being managed. TB restored saved apps (no data, except for a select few after this Rom booted up & stable) - Angry Birds/Seasons running nicely - including my (3 stars) saved scores, yeah !

Videos playing in YouTube, installed my preferred Hacker's Keyboard with full 5 rows of keys and Fancy Widgets. Downloaded other "stripped" apps from Android Market, allowed everything to get updated - make a CWM Backup image just in case. Next up, replacing "stock" browser with Dolphin Browser HD ...

Thanks again !

Please clear battery stats from the clockwork mod settings and let the battery calibrate (2 days full load/empty during the day). I will see if can add a an automated calibrate script anyways.

Hi indyend, thanks for your feedback on this. Maybe you can post your APN settings so I can add these to future roms?

    This is a fast and stable Viewpad 7 rom. I used the latest ViewSonic Viewpad 7 UK rom, version 3.620 as a basis.

    For apps2sd create an 1024mb ext3 partition and cache size 0 with clockwork mod.

    Don't forget to wipe after flashing the rom. Scroll down for version history.

    Donate

    Lots of goodies like black status bar, BeatsAudio, Flash Player, Apps2SD, super performance! All apps updated, new Google Play Store.

    For rooting your stock rom use SuperOneClickv1.7 which you can find in my repository.

    Do mind to install the correct usb drivers. I had to install and run ViewSonic Switcher (SwitchUSB.exe) to get ADB working.

    Hi haree, the rom is pre-rooted and includes the latest version of superuser and su (please read posts 1 and 2). apps2sd is not yet included because I don't need it and I built this rom for personal usage. If you want to testdrive I can build a rom with apps2sd included :)
