I created cyanogenmod 9 rom for Manta mid08, but it should work with other tablets with Allwinner/Boxchip A13 SoC.

Rom status: six alpha

Cybrix.pl
Basic functions and hardware:
  • Sound Works
  • Headphones Works
  • Screen Works
  • Touch Works
  • HW/3D Works
  • ADB Works
  • SDcard Works
  • Sensors Works
  • WiFi Works
Additional hardware:
  • 3G Not tested yet
  • Bluetooth Not tested, after updates
  • GPS Not tested yet
  • Keyboard Works
  • RIL Not tested yet
  • USB/WIFI Tethering Not tested yet

TODO:
  • Move to kernel from amery source(temporary solution)
  • Rewrite whole sunxi implementation in kernel (current source is one big mess, work in Amery tree is only patching not fix issue)
  • Help rewrite cedarx drivers
  • Add support for more devices
Fifth alpha should be last alpha release. I will fix hw accelartion, camera, wifi and touchscreen support.
First beta will have new kernel 3.0.39+ and more devices support.

Supported tables:
  • Manta MID08
  • MID Epad by LélikTec(In progress)
  • Apollo 726(In progress)
If your tablet is not on my list, please send me dumps of this files:

Dumps you make with terminal emulator or adb shell:
Code: 
dd if=/dev/block/nandc of=/sdcard/nandc.img
dd if=/dev/block/nandg of=/sdcard/nandg.img
For mount /dev/block/nanda
mkdir -p /sdcard/nanda
mkdir -p /sdcard/dump/bxf/
mkdir -p /sdcard/dump/libs/
mkdir -p /sdcard/dump/usr
mkdir -p /sdcard/dump/etc
mkdir -p /sdcard/dump/vendor
mount -t vfat /dev/block/nanda /sdcard/nanda
cp -r /sdcard/nanda /sdcard/dump/bxf
cp -r /system/lib/* /sdcard/dump/libs/
cp -r /system/usr/icu /sdcard/dump/usr/
cp -r /system/usr/idc /sdcard/dump/usr/
cp -r /system/usr/keylayout /sdcard/dump/usr/
cp -r /system/etc/ /sdcard/dump/etc/
cp -r /vendor/ /sdcard/dump/vendor/

It should work, but you need send me first dumps of /dev/block/nandc /dev/block/nandg and all files from /dev/block/nanda and /system/libs/
Dumps you make with terminal emulator or adb shell:
Code: 
dd if=/dev/block/nandc of=/sdcard/nandc.img
dd if=/dev/block/nandc of=/sdcard/nandc.img
For mount /dev/block/nanda
mkdir -p /sdcard/nanda
mkdir -p /sdcard/dump/bxf/
mkdir -p /sdcard/dump/libs/
mount -t vfat /dev/block/nanda /sdcard/nanda
cp -r /sdcard/nanda /sdcard/dump/bxf
cp -r /system/lib/* /sdcard/dump/libs/

Hi! I've tried this rom and it's amazing!

I've the same tablet linked from amazon (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Capacitive-Allwinner-Processor-Sandwich-MID/dp/B008E4WGKQ), or at least look like the same!

I can get CWM work like a charm, and boot without problems...but! The only things that don't work are touchscreen and wifi!:(
3D acceleration and sounds seems fine! (The camera works neither, but it's not a problem for me)

I don't have the original rom anymore, but i can tell you that it woks without problems with these roms:
http://www.androidtablets.net/forum...eneric-7-a13-android-4-0-4-hyper-edition.html
(And a one i'm uploading now to my dropbox account)

Can you do something for it? If you can get it work it would be awesome!
I know it's not designed for this tablet.. but if you can support it, it would be great!

I've used a mouse and keyboard to test it out! No problems with it!

Cheers, and good work!

(i will upload the dumps of a working rom shortly!)

Hello WillingMagic, glad to see someone working on the A13. I have got one el cheapo tablet. It is exactly same as shown here (sorry can't post links)

h t t p : / / w w w . uptcn . com / productshow/?951-2-Tablet,PC,MID.html


The tablet works fine with its factory ICS 4.0.3 per se but I was looking into putting cyanogenmod in it.

I tried your recovery and ROM. The recovery works very well. The ROM boots ok, the screen and touch are fine, but no wifi and no auto-rotation.

Secondly, you say 'Bluetooth: Not tested yet'. Does that mean it should work with USB BT dongles? I tried three different dongles but none worked.

Can you please guide me how can I get your rom working on my tablet with all hardware functional and if possible USB BT.

Thanks

How to fix wifi:
1.Download hotfix to /sdcard/ (link in first post)
2.Type in terminal or adb shell:
Code: 
su
cat /sdcard/hotfix2-alpha4.img > /dev/block/nandc;sync;reboot

Fifth alpha should be last alpha release. I will fix hw accelartion, camera, wifi and touchscreen support.
First beta will have new kernel 3.0.39+ and more devices support.

Not quite sure what you mean but i think with that recovery i didnt have a "go back" option (could of been a different one i flashed a few) so i got this one made for my tablet https://dl.dropbox.com/u/74717476/recovery.img see if this works

Just re-read what you said if the backup is corrupted or damaged I don't think there is much you can do sorry

For recovery I recommend sdcard 4GB(empty) or bigger. If you use smaller sdcard, recovery might not work correctly.

    Nice find :)
    If you by any chance find a Jelly Bean update for this tablet please post it here. BTW I also didn't find any solution for back button in recovery, I had to shut down my tablet and restart it to recovery with Novo Tools to choose other options in recovery :S
