I have a 7" VIA WM8650 Froyo 2.2 tablet (256M Ram and 2-point multi-touch panel). It is a awesome tablet because of cheap price @ HKD680:)

However, it don't come with official android market and It cannot use ad-hoc Wifi connection. :mad:

So, I need rooting this machine to get this access. I had tried "Z4root" and "Universal Root" still cannot root this machine! :(

Pls anyone can help!

Is the multi-touch actually a "TRUE" multi-touch meaning it can be recognized in all games that support multi-touch and not just in the internet and gallery apps?

Also, where did you get this one from?

This machine come with resistive touch screen and "claimed" with 2-point multi-ouch action. Actually, it can only work on the "pinch to zoom" only! When control others multi-touch function, it doesn't work!

I buy it from computer shop in Hong Kong. But you can find it in this:
http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/431330921/New_Hot_7_inch_Tablet_Pc.html

My firmware is V.1.2.0, In a chinese forum, I find a new V.1.2.1 version ROM.
http://bbs.51szb.com/thread-20345-1-1.html
However, this ROM only workion specific mother-board (there may have over 3 types of 7" WM8650 PCB board in the market and their Rom(s) are not compatible!

I still needed to check out my machine board version before flash Rom.

Noahheesa, could you pls help me to identify my machine and then, I can make sure that the "Custom Rom" I requested is correct?? Thanks your help.
