This ROM has to be flashed connected to the PC right? I have the problem that my SuperPad is not recognized by my PC (Win7), it does nothing at all and the tablet does not even show up as unknown device, so i cannot choose the drivers i downloaded. Any suggestion to solve this?
USB works pretty weird in this tablet. Simply plug the usb in the TOP slot and reboot your device and it will work. But if you just plug in it won't work. Anyway if you want to recognize as a flash device hold the reset + power + menu button then release the reset button and wait till a new storage will come up. Than you can release the power + menu. In this mod you can start flashing.
Thanks for your answer. So if i understand right i put the flash tool and the downloaded rom (vortex.pak) in the same folder in my external sd card by coonecting the tablet via usb upper port. Then i make the 3 button combo and enter flash mode where i can start the flash tool and flash your rom. Is that correct?
Make sure the tablet is off.
Remove the external SD card.
Plug in the tablet using the TOP USB port.
Copy Vortex.pak to the folder that has the flash tool. The .pak and .ini files should be in the same folder.

The battery consumption is very high and about 70 % of it is due to no radio signal available. I switched now in settings data transfer off and will charge again the tablet to see the battery cunsumption afterwards.

-Fully working install script via CWM. Now for custom rom making we only need a zip compressor. ;)

-The weird system/_install deleted and everything rooted to system/bin or xbin. Not an android standard folder and that is why su install working in a "normal way". Pretty big and useful change for future developers!
-External and internal sd card mount point changed. You can move apps to your internal sd card even if you not plug an external card in and your external card is can be as a real sd card as it should be. But watch out for format the internal sd card from the settings... it will format external now!
