* Works pretty much everything, it's an almost perfect daily use build.
Known bugs:
* I had to replace Cyanogen's camera app with Allwinner's because preview frame was incredibly huge and buttons couldn't be pressed.
* When you take a picture using camera the thumbnails that appears in Gallery are corrupted, but you can use an alternative (and better) app like [url="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alensw.PicFolder"]QuickPic[/url] as workaround. You can even disable Gallery app and use [url="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mxtech.videoplayer.ad"]MX Player[/url] as video player which works pretty fine in HW mode (you don't need any codec)
* Reboot to recovery doesn't work, it just reboots the tablet.

You can see upstream changelog here



Download link

* Androidfilehost.com



Gapps

* 2012-04-29

If you have a /system partition of 300+ MB you can flash "official" gapps from goo.im/gapps, you'll have a working Face UnLock as a bonus.



FAQ

* To manage volume from the sysbar you can install this app
* Legacy compatibility zips include stock kernel with extra modules (like bluetooth, gamepads, ecc.). It's enabled for ad-hoc and wifi direct won't work. USB Audio and DVB-T kernel modules won't work either.
* Sanei N10 users (and other with "internal sdcard" on /dev/block/nandj device) can use this version of cwm.

Thank you Christian,
I really appreciate your work. After flashing this rom to my tablet (yarvik gotab exxa 9.7 - 907c clone) everything works great. Its noticably smoother and more responsive. I must say i was surprised that my 3g modem, bluetooth dongle and wireless mouse finnally started working. Althought there is one small issue. When I use internet browser (opera, chrome doplhin - doesnt matter) system periodically freezes for few seconds and after a moment everything is smooth again. Its very annoying and it will be great if you could check it and let know what is going on.

LY-F1 clone regression in 1.2

Hi Christian,

I have a "Tomtop C1315" that appears to be an LY-F1 clone (I have pics online but can't post links yet). It's an A721 revision of the motherboard, with 4 DRAM chips rather than the A710's two (it still has 512MB like the A710). I just installed 2012-06-24 with 1.2 compatibility. Issues:

  1. No touchscreen response at all.
  2. I cannot get back into recovery using the volume-power sequence. It goes straight into normal mode.
I reinstalled with 1.1 compatibility, and saw this improvement:

  1. None of the three capacitive buttons works.
  2. Same issue with entering recovery mode via volume-power sequence. (I use adb reboot recovery or the power-off soft menu.)
Otherwise, camera/wifi/auto-rotation/sound are all perfect. I diffed the 1.2 and 1.1 compatibility zips, and among the ones that are changed, only ft5x_ts.ko is loaded on my device:

Code:
shell@android:/ $ lsmod | sort

xpad 9362 0 - Live 0xbf000000

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that _ts stands for "touchscreen," so I suspect the change in that driver is responsible for the touchscreen regression in 1.2.

I have full hardware compatibility with a build called ICS-Seby_0.6.5_12.06.2012, but that one's available only in LiveSuit format, which is annoying if I want to keep my data. I'll re-flash that one and grab its touchscreen driver and see whether mixing/matching gives me better results. Anyway, hope this is helpful. I'd like to move over to your ROM because you stay pretty close to vanilla, use .zip update format, and put out new builds frequently. Thanks!

because if you take a look at the OP you'll see that it says compatibility zip 1.1.x; they're for different kernel versions, of course touchscreen won't load ;)

to use capacitive buttons you have to use the comp zip another user posted on slatedroid, i've tried to use that module but touchscreen didnt work at all, btw it's minor since ICS has all the relevant stuff in the sysbar

I see. I misinterpreted the 1.2 series as a newer version of the 1.1 series. Thanks for the explanation!

Thanks for the hint. I found the long thread on SlateDroid where user neilgfoster posted a link to his lyf1_compatibility_1.1.0_NF.zip. I reinstalled your ROM, substituting that update for your 1.1, and I have everything working perfectly! I haven't tried entering recovery from the hard buttons, but even if that doesn't work, there are plenty of other ways to get into recovery, so I don't care. Thanks again!

UPDATE: For 7 July 2012 builds and later, you want compatibility 1.2, not 1.1. Fortunately neilgfoster has created a 1.2 version of his comp zip, too, so look for that one instead!

big trouble no touchscreen

Hi I think I'm in big trouble

I have Onda elite vi40 v3

I wiped the cache and dalvin and I installed first the compatibility file and the the rom.
The system boots up but the screen is unresponsive.
How can I get into recovery now?

SANEI N83 Deluxe

Tried to flashed several times the latest (11.07. ) CM9 did not work on my Sanei N83 Deluxe over the latest stocked Rom 4.0.3 rooted..

The both Gapps and compatibility failed the signature verification and aborted. When booted remained without touch support.

Anyway for the time being returned to stock Rom again. Not any bricking etc..

EDITED;

Re-downloaded all three zip files and flashed again and installed gapps this time successfully. But again compatibility.zip v1.2 did NOT install and when booted no touch support..
MD5 verified no problem..

What to do now ? compatibility is wrong ?

Ths in advance..

default.xml?

Christian, I'm thinking about a port of CM to the A10-based MK802 thumb PC, and I bet that your codebase would be a good place to start. But I wasn't able to find the root Android repository (the one containing default.xml) in your GitHub account. Do you have such a repository locally? If so, would you mind mirroring it to GitHub so that I can fork it? Otherwise I'll start with Quarx2k's repo, but I'd prefer yours because I like it more.

@love4chat connect it to a tv with an hdmi cable and reset brightness, it happens only on your model btw

That's too bad about the android repo. Time for me to learn how to make one myself!

As for the mk802 compatibility zip not being tested by anyone, I wonder whether the problem was that so few people had received theirs until recently. The manufacturer wasn't expecting the high demand. I just got mine last week. Anyway, I looked at your androidfilehost.com file section and didn't see the zip anywhere; if you still have it, I'd be happy to test it.

I have an unbranded 7" Allwinner A10 Tablet, seen at aliexpress. com/ snapshot/ 108105295 .html (sorry, I couldn't post the link, but thought it would be very useful). I actually opened the thing up to get some info on it, and I was hoping someone could recommend a Compatibility pack to flash and save me some trial and error (which I am currently doing one by one).

I know it uses the Goodix_TS, Realtec Wifi, mxc622x 2 axis sensor, 512MB DDR3 and 4G NAND. Does anyone have any suggestions for me? :)

Much appreciated if you do! If not, I'll post my results anyway. Thanks!

If a compatibility pack doesn't exist, I'll most likely figure out how to make one and then post it somewhere so others with my similar device can use it. :)

P.S.

Christian, you are the man!

    [url="http://www.mediafire.com/?4wdzork5fu74soq"]2012-05-18[/url]
    * Works pretty much everything, it's an almost perfect daily use build.
    Known bugs:
    * I had to replace Cyanogen's camera app with Allwinner's because preview frame was incredibly huge and buttons couldn't be pressed.
    * When you take a picture using camera the thumbnails that appears in Gallery are corrupted, but you can use an alternative (and better) app like [url="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alensw.PicFolder"]QuickPic[/url] as workaround. You can even disable Gallery app and use [url="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mxtech.videoplayer.ad"]MX Player[/url] as video player which works pretty fine in HW mode (you don't need any codec)
    * Reboot to recovery doesn't work, it just reboots the tablet.

    Gapps

    * 2012-04-29

    If you have a /system partition of 300+ MB you can flash "official" gapps from goo.im/gapps, you'll have a working Face UnLock as a bonus.



    FAQ

    * To manage volume from the sysbar you can install this app
    * Legacy compatibility zips include stock kernel with extra modules (like bluetooth, gamepads, ecc.). It's enabled for ad-hoc and wifi direct won't work. USB Audio and DVB-T kernel modules won't work either.
    * Sanei N10 users (and other with "internal sdcard" on /dev/block/nandj device) can use this version of cwm.

    cm10 preview 1 (requires a /system partition of at least 300M)

    known bugs:
    * hw accelerated video playback (cedar libraries will not compile because some prebuilt blobs require ICS functions)
    * camera (needs cedar)
    * hdmi output (i will try to implement iy in next builds)
    * ntfs / exfat (the same as above)
    * mass-storage
    * other things i guess

    flash rom + gapps + comp zip 1.2 and do a full wipe

    tested on Mediacom 907c so i don't guarantee it will work on other devices, probably it will not work on devices with a "legacy" compatibility zip because the ramdisk has changed

    later i'll open a dedicated thread i guess

    BMA250 Bosch gsensor compatibility

    To users who have a Bosch BMA250 gsensor and are experiencing problems with auto-rotation. I've created a modified 907c_compatibility_1.2.x.zip file, which basically adds a compatible bma250.ko to the update package. I can get into more specifics should it be needed. So far I've only been able to test it on CM9 and my tablet (Cherry M-906). You can grab it on the link below.

    Thanks to Christian Troy and all others who made CM9 happyness possible on A10 based tablets.

    try to change governor, maybe your device doesnt play fine with smartassV2 (try using fantasy, you can do it from performance settings without extra apps)

    Connect a mouse, keep power button pressed until the power menu pops up and then select reboot->recovery

    Once in recovery flash the comp zip (and remember to flash it always after the rom)
