[SOLVED/GUIDE] ROOT & CM9 for Sumvsion Astro +, also MOMO9 and similar tablet devices

You need to install the momo compatibility and gapps zip files, but to do this you will need to plug in an external USB keyboard and / or mouse.

I successfully modded one for a friend with cm9 and accompanying gapps a few months back. Download link was somewhere on slatedroid. If you can't find it come back to me and I'll see if I can dig it up. Made it much more responsive. For CM10 you need to resize the partitions for most of these devices, which is an additional step, and why I stayed with cm9.

Search slatedroid.com for the following topic...

how-to-install-gapps-on-pretty-much-any-rooted-device

Hope that helps.

Hi
Any chance you could find that link for me, as I compared it to looking for a needle in a hay stack, many thanks

Thank god, I have finally done it! My Sumvision Astro is now rooted and has CM9 running!

Other similar tablets are also supported, i.e MOMO9, read on to step 3 and look at second url for cm9 patched devices!

GUIDE:


1) Download and use sausage mod:

Use option 5!

If you get stuck read through Sausages info:

2) To Enter CWM from powered down state, hold Volume Down & Menu and then press power button for 5 seconds and release it keeping both Vol Down and Menu held down, then when the screen back light comes on release Vol Down, then two seconds later release Menu, you will now enter CWM!


3) Grab latest Rom & Device Specific patch from here, in this case we want MOMO9, but there is also support for other devices as well!

4) Install CM9 first, then momo9 patch, reboot, all done!


5) You can now boot into your rooted device with CM9, and in future you can select reboot from te power menu with direct reboot to CWM

Enjoy!

Do you know if there is a patch for a Cyclone Astro+ 9.7 running ARM Cortex A8 , I have tried all the patches in the list from your link but none of them work. I installed the latest ROM, patch didn't work now the TAB is stuck on the splash screen. I take it then if I can find a patch all will work? Cheers
