THANKS amigo
Assuming Phoenix install procedure. Will this unroot the 972? Guess we'll see. Will probably have to do the AllWinner Root 1.0 zip again?

Just found the answer to my own question. The guys at ArcTablet are preparing a rooted custom firmware for v1.33, so will wait on them to get it posted. See this for more information.
EDIT: They are also making a CWM Recovery image for it as well.

1.33 Seems better already. Smooth and fast - no freezing/crashing yet
Rooted and CWM installed 1st time.
Still a fair amount of market incompatibility but nothing I couldn't sideload
Just installed latest firmware using Phoenix install method. As a precaution I installed root keeper from the market before updating. According to Titanium backup, I'm still rooted!
Cant say I've noticed much of a difference so far. The stock launcher still seems like crap so I installed Nova.

I also just upgraded to 1.33 using the Phoenix routine and rootkeeper. Kept root on upgrade. No problems. Haven't noticed any significant differences so far. I used Titanium Backup to uninstall Chinese apps. In process now of getting apps and accounts setup again. Next time I'll backup my Titanium Backup to my laptop so I won't have setup everything up again. I knew better....
Next time just back it up to your external TF. I also did the same thing with my nand backup. Which I need to do it again since I got the contact syncing to work. OH!! and Jyam yes, I need the update to that contactsyncadapter. Apparently I have 2.3 and not 4.1. Thanks
Spoke bit too soon. Took the tablet out the house and came back in. Now my WiFi bars are grey instead of blue and while I can use the stock browser I cannot connect to the play store.
I've tried forget network, powering off then setting it back up again
I've tried setting a static IP address for the tablet
I've also restarted the router to see if that did the trick
Any suggestions?

Oddly, I don't have that apk. Working without it.

So, Onda included a stock recovery that is touch-based?? I installed CWM without even checking the stock recovery. Does stock include a nandroid backup??
Wonder how I go back to stock recovery? Anybody want to attach the necessary files: Davlin, maybe you could help me out this time LOL.
recovery.img
install-recovery.sh
reboot-recovery.sh
Lastly, fully tested 1.33 last night. Disabled the stock browser and stock launcher. Using Espier Launcher (IOS immulation) and Dolphin Browser. I have found performance to be outstanding and very few issues I was experiencing with 1.32. Way to go Onda. That's why I made the choice to buy an Onda. Could have bought an Ainon, Teclast, or other Chinese model, but Onda seemed to have a good reputation for updating their firmware and supporting their product. So far, I have not been disappointed!!

44Okay guys a quick update. Not sure, if I should be posting it here but I will still go ahead as we dont have a dedicated development thread yet.
So last night I studied the partitions, extracted the stock recovery img and tried to build cwm recovery from the cwm online builder. I pushed it on to the recovery partition, and rebooted into recovery. Finally I did manage to get the cwm recovery interface but too bad it did not recognize my partitions. Worse, I ended up bricking my device as it went in cwm loop and on every restart I just got cwm with no keys working. :crying:
Luckily I knew that Allwinner A31 is almost brick free because the Installation suite doesn't rely on recovery and use flash mode to install firmware. So I am up and running again. I just repartioned to be sure. :good::good:
I'll keep going. I realize now that the A10 also has similar paritions structure, maybe I could get help from there. For anyone interested I am attaching the recovery.fstab which u can refer to extarct images using dd command.
PM me or write here if anyone needs the recovery or boot images. I already have then extracted. Sorry for the long post.
There is just one thing thats been bothering me. How we supposed to use CWM even if we get it working with just two keys on the tablet? Maybe I should directly try cwm touch.
Thanks. I'll keep you guys posted.4onda has not enabled any power managment features of the tablet yet. There is a power managment chip, and the A31 has power managment as well not being used. The A31 is being ran at 1ghz even when idle. If you factor that in with battery life right now at 4-4.5 hours , just think what it should get once those features are enabled.
I have 2 of these and one of mine I was messing with for over 4 hours (installing apps rooting upgrading/downgrading firmware, ect) and it was at 69% I have not had any of the browser lag, however every so often when going into google play I get no connection retry. This has happened to me with all of my tablets so not sure if this is wifi power managment or not.
I have read about some quality control issues with some units, but both of mine seem to be working and looking great so far. I also did the firmware upgrade on a factory fresh device. I think this helps with stability.
PS, Every new battery operated device i have owned I have always let it charged for 24 hours before messing with it. Even if they state they are fully charged when they come out of the box. I have always had pretty consistent battery life trough the life of the device. Just my personal experience.
Note Take Battery MAH on Chinese batteries with a grain of salt. I have seen the same model make of battery advertised and many different MAH. They never are tested at what they say. I would not be surprised if ainol novo9 and onda v972 use the same exact battery. The thing about numbers anyone good in math can make numbers say anything you want. And guess who is really good with numbers.
