[Miscellaneous Android Development] riorey:
Ok, I didn't want to raise any doubts, I just wanted to get everything clear on how to work with this.

I'll make another post with some new information about running this ROM on the Protab 2XXL.

BEGIN DISCLAIMER!!!

THIS WORKS FOR ME, it might or might not work for you and I don't take any responsibillity for your tries with this!

END DISCLAIMER!!!

Ok, to start with, I don't take any credit for the recovery or the ICS image, I've made some changes to make it simpler to use this on the Point Of View Protab 2XXL!

Prerequisits:

Point Of View Protab 2XXL

Stock Android 2.3 (Gingerbread)

FAQ:

Will it work on other tablets?

I don't know, I only own the 2XXL but I suppose (if you check hardware compatibillity and compare to the 2XXL) that it should work on the Protab 2xl and and the Protab 2 as well... BUT, check that the hardware is the same, otherwise it won't work!

Here is some information from the first post:

this is a work-in-progress development project for porting CyanogenMod 9 (ICS/4.0.3) and ClockworkMod Recovery 5 to Allwinner A10 tablets.

this is not perfect at all. and I'm very busy. progress will be very very slow. I may not be able to answer your question/request. if you have some idea for improvement, please do it freely.

there is no support from any makers/vendors. you must agree all risks by installing non-supported files, it may brick your tablet, and you may lose official support/warranty.

* YOU MUST READ CAREFULLY POST#1, #2, AND #3!

* DO NOT USE IF YOUR TABLET IS NOT LISTED BELOW. IT WILL BRICK YOUR TABLET!

* project page

http://androtab.info/cyanogenmod/allwinner/

* supported tablets

Point Of View Protab 2XXL

* current status (2012/2/3 and 2012/2/24)

not work:

3G, camera, hardware accelerated video, HDMI, mount from PC, and many things which you expect to work, ClockworkMod keys in recovery, gapps as the /system partition is to small to install the gapps package. I'll try and extract the Market app and support files and make an update rom so we'll at least have market.

work:

3D, accelerometer, audio, gapps, internal NAND flash, SD card, touchscreen, USB host/device, remote controller, vibrator, wlan

* changelog

refer git log

* resources

Check the first post for resources

Information from the second post:

* How to install ClockworkMod Recovery 5

1. download recovery.zip and unzip it (http://android.bluapp.net/android/CWM_recovery/protab_recovery-2012-02-24.zip)

2. (if you don't have official ROM and flash tool,) make backup of recovery partition

Comment: The Protab does have a recovery partition but it's unused by POV.

3. run following commands

Code:

adb push install-recovery.sh /data/

adb shell chmod 755 /data/install-recovery.sh

adb push recovery.cpio /data/

adb shell /data/install-recovery.sh

4. (re)boot into recovery

* How to boot recovery

push & hold MENU while power on.

* How to boot recovery (alternative)

Code:

adb shell "echo -n boot-recovery | busybox dd of=/dev/block/nande count=1 conv=sync; sync; reboot"

please confirm where is misc parition on your tablet, otherwise your tablet may be bricked.

* How to control ClockworkMod Recovery 5

This doesn't work as we need a new ClockworkMod Recovery 5 with our keys compiled in.

VOL-: down, VOL+: up, MENU: select, HOME/BACK: back

USE THIS INSTEAD:

Download the ROM from http://android.bluapp.net/android/ICS-updates/protab_update-2012-02-24.zip

adb push protab_update-2012-02-24.zip /sdcard/protab_update-2012-02-24.zip

adb shell /sbin/make_rom_update.sh /sdcard/protab_update-2012-02-24.zip

adb shell recovery

After reboot the new rom should start.

This will also automatically wipe the dalvik-cache.
