Hello,

Sorry for my english, try to be kind with a french geek

I thought it would be great to give to the community a tutorial step by step with pistures and screenshoots ;)

Here is the method i used to open the tablet and flash the ROM when i "bricked" it while trying to activate Google accounts :-)

This ROM is not really an update, i prefer asking it rescue ROM for bricked tablets.

"HOW TO FASH THE TABLET" - TUTORIAL in english :

Unfortunately, the Android Market has been disabled due to too many issues. But alternativ markets have been installed to make your life easier ;-)

IMAGE FLASHING TOOL - it is still the same, but if you need it :

CHANGES

:) :

• Remove unneeded or Chinese apps (AppStore + HANDONAPP + Agpsstatus) which unnecessarily polluted the tablet memory.

• Enabling Google accounts

• GMAIL

• GOOGLE TALK

• MAPS: LATITUDE option functional (visibility of your Google contacts on the card)

• Alternative MARKETS: SlideME + APKTOR (very interesting market because of the possibility to add sites apps url to enhance the catalog of applications - for that Google search is my friend)

• Video Player: MPlayer (nicer than the original video app)

:( :

This is a "beta" version so are not fully functional:

• HARD RESET or restore to the factory datas. I did not yet managed to change the restore file, so if you HARD RESET tablet, you will restore all the craps from original firmware ... sorry ☹ So the only way to restore this custom ROM is to flash the tablet.

• Android Market: i can not keep system stability (I unfortunately am not computer) and the tablet "Brick" systematically. I decided not to install Google Market in this version. This will be the subject of the next version i hope☺

• Reccuring error message "closing framework ..." just click on" force quit ". No impact on the operating system running.

ON THE FIRST BOOT (Google account activation) :

• You see the the welcome message with ANDROID logo and the clicking hand (take the opportunity to change the language if necessary)

• Click the screen 4 corners in the direction of clockwise starting at the top left corner and going to the right

• Select "SetupWizard ..." in the selection list that appears

• You will be able to set up Google accounts - If you do not automatiicly enter Google accounts set up, go back to the desktop and select GMAIL.

• You can now enter your Google Account login (gmail address without extension "gmail.com") + password gmail

(If the wifi is off - back to the office with the small house at the top right of the screen. Go to Settings / WiFi / and select your WiFi network and enter the WEP key if your network it is protected. Once connected, return to the office and launch GMAIL)

Your Google account is activated :-)

• SORFT RESET (paperclip in the small hole beside the plug in iPod) - the tablet reboots by itself

You often closing the message framework, but it's not important, go further by clicking on "force quit"

You can change synchronization settings (menu button) and also in the google accounts settings (phone settings: Account and synchonisation)

Have fun with this ROM !!! :cool:

If somebody wants to find the way of xternal miniSD or USB flashing it would be great !!
