ROM for crappy tablet - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I bought a cheap tablet and by far this is my worst buy ever. :crying:
It's the Energy Sistem S10 (not the dual one)
For a cheap tablet I don't expect good performance but you can't believe how unstable this @%! is !!!
I feel like I'm using a PC with Windows Me.
And tech support is... well.
To the point:
The tablet is rooted and I hope that a new ROM will solve the stability issues but really I don't know how to determine if a ROM is compatible with my tablet.
Please direct me how to find and determine if a ROM is the one. If you know a specific ROM for the tablet then I'll be more than happy.
The higher version of Android the better but I'm conscious about the poor specifications, however, version 4.1 is enough for me.
TIA and those are the relevant specifications:
Screen: TFT-LCD 10.1" 16:9 (1024x600 pixels)
WI-FI (802.11 b/g/n)
Processor: Allwinner A10 1.0GHz with Mali-400 built-in GPU
1GB RAM DDR3
Internal storage: 8 GB
Built-in front camera (VGA 640x480)
Built-in back camera (2 Mpx) Yes, 2 Mpx
USB-Host adapter
HDMI interface (1080p)

If it's not made for your tablet it's incompatible. Even if it has exactly the same hardware. If you are currently running at least ICS, it's not impossible to make an update. If you aren't however, you're just out of luck.

OK, thanks for the info.
Actually my tablet have ICS 4.0.4 and the manufacturer promised an update to 4.1 since march but looks like it was a joke. Anyway, I guess an update from them will be very unstable too.
I will investigate about how to make an update.
Thanks again.

Hi, I have the same one since a week ago. Unfortunatelly I updated it with another Android OS and now I don't have WIFI. May I ask you if you are still on the original firmware to send me the file wpa_supplicant.config? Or if you have the original ROM it will the best way if you can send me the link to download it. Thanks.

Thank you for your answer! Is your device rooted? Because only if it's rooted you can go to the folder where the file is. Or maybe you have the ROM? That will be the best way if you have the ROM to send it to me. Or to ask your reseller to send it to you? By the way where did you buy it from? That might help me to obtain the original firmware.
Thanks

How is the folder named? Let me look in to that first, i don't think the site allows direct company names that sell this product.
I'm surprised about the low info here on this tablet.
Maybe new info i found will help, it's also known as superpad.
And I'm sure it's no fake. Google it. I will not advertise here.
Still need some good info and answers.

I bought one of these chunks of crap, it ran for 24 hrs now it won't boot it had newer yospad firmware but I can't remember the exact build cause it won't boot now. What I need to know is how to do a hardware reset, not the little reset button it just restarts it or another yospad rom.
Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks

Who the hell gives names to this devices .. ? Flytouch 5 ? zomg!
this is the ONLY company that has the Infotmic SoC available for implementing into tablets:
http://www.shuoying.com/global/index.asp
http://www.shuoying.com/global/Product.asp?/3.html (tablet page)
I Know that, cause I personally visited the head of Infotmic SoC design (Shenzhen) and ShuoYing CEO, also in Shenzhen (Infotmic HQ is from Shanghai)
If there is any other tablet with "Flytouch" design, then they are tempered from the original tablet made by Shuoying, or they are so wild that it is really a mystery of it's origin.
My guess is that those are regular FT2 (since all have the same CPU) tweaked by some wild chinese people, Kernel and OS, and RAM/ROM
not to all - dont buy tablets from companies that dont show up in 1-2 hours search. You'll end up with tablet that someone assembled by hand and a screwdriver, and most probably extremely bad OS.

Use only Z4 to root the yospad. Can someone leave link for fw flash for yospad

I think your completely right there.
I use it for a remote control know.
Thanks for the input btw.
Digital Zoro - im sorry for your failed tablet device.
On the other hand - I find the FT2 design to be the best tablet design ever. it obviously lacks the fine finish, and better materials, but - 10 inch wide tablet, with every god damn port there is - pure win.
I saw the "actual" FT3 in Infotmic Shenzhen, and it looks awesome - capacitive screen, ARM Cortex A8 based infotmic SoC (about time dudes, you are sooo late) .. dont know why isnt out yet, cause all those named "FT3" dont have same specs as the one I saw.

My Flytouch 5
The design is not really bad and i like that it has the rj-45 port.
The screen I find bad. No multitouch and slow reaction when touched.
Its thick and heavy to hold.
Flytouch 5 should have GPS build in, but it doesn't.
The Flytouch 2 3 4 5 are all the same design. On one moment it lost the second mini sd slot.
Is this only with the fake ones?
No, they are all faulty. the forementioned Shuoying company makes crapy tablets
I took for bussines 30 units the first time around, and I still have 6 broken units. others had flaws, mostly of how they are assembled - everything is sticking out, and such. USB/SD slots die more often than you could imagine.
buttons are the biggest problem - they are not glued in & soldered - they are JUST soldered. so the only thing that holds them into place is Tin (Sn) and we all know how that is firm and solid
oh, there is also a screen problem - there are 3 types of ZIF wire-to-board connector types for the screen, so if you ever need a screen replacement - dont even think about it.
the best assembled chinese tablet is from a company Utopia, in my expirience. you can find them by the name "imx515" A8 or A10 tablet. it turns out that solutions for assemble is better than most of the branded companies.

[Q] [TABLET] choices, choices, choices!

i've put this in the android section as the tablet i'm querying is android
sooo, ive got a couple of hundred £s and im looking at tablets
now i can get a sub £200 7" android 3.0 tablet, 1ghz, 8gb ram, wifi, mini usb, hdmi, 3g, microsd
or i can go £200 10.1", android 2.3, 1ghz, 8gb ram, wifi, mini usb, hdmi, 3g, microsd
now, should i go smaller screen, v3 android, or v2 larger screen...
...can (if the hardware supports it) v2.3 be updated to v3.0 later?
thanks!
I think that no tabled have 8 GB of ram. Most have 8 of internal memory.

My recent blog post my help you choose a bit. I concentrated on 7" ones cause plan to buy one.
And tablet running 2.3 can be updated to newer versions if there will be vendor (or community) update.

Simple rule: avoid devices which do not have subforum here at XDA
this is all messed up! i can now find the same spec 7" for £150! the price range seems to be £60, £150, £450!
starting to love the galaxy tab 10.1 mind, but this seems to be the top end, and it seems a bit like buying a top end dell... it may be supercharged, but its still a dell!
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

It's an Allwinner A10 cpu, I was able to get the Allwinner app on the market to work with my daughters, but I listed my tablet for sale and I'm sure it prob works with it as well.
Any help is greatly appreciated. I am looking at getting the Ainol Novo 7 Elf, does anyone have any info on that if I'm lucky enough to get that?
Thanks in advance.
The ELF is a great Tablet for its price. I own one since a week. There are also some great ROMS out there. I flashed Feiyu Mod now i have full Market accses. And the touchscreen is also much more responsive.

The elf doesn't have full market access right out of box? I plan on getting mine off eBay once I get rid of this no namer I have. Glad to hear there are some roms for it.

Specs sound good
I don't know how much developer attention this is going to see. Less popular tablets don't get the mods & roms the touchpad, xoom, galaxy, transformer & all get.
It looks like a real sweet tablet for the price. My ballpark number is under 190 bucks and all the ones you listed below I've done searches on and I can't see paying pass 200 dollars for I would love the galaxy 2, that seems nice as well but it's over how much I'm willing to spend.
Maybe one day something will be out for it. I can buy an elf for 164.95 which isn't bad with the 1024x600 screen and 1gb of ram..
Is there other tablets out there I am missing under 190 dollars that I am not seeing which would be better than the Elf?

[Q] ROOT POSSIBLE? (tablet)

Hey guys just wondering, i just bought a new tablet from amazon , the TABTRONICS 8GB M009S 7" Capacitive Android tablet PC (link http://www.amazon.co.uk/TABTRONICS-...tablet/dp/B006T099XE/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top )
here is the spec-
CPU : A10 1.2 GHz
Graphics Processor : Mali 400 MHz
Touchscreen : 5 point multi touch capacitive
resolution 800 x 480
Operating System : Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich
Memory : 1GB RAM DDR3 / 8GB NAND FLASH STORAGE
Flash - upgradeable by Micro SD memory card (max 16GB) WiFi : 802.11 b/g/n
I am wondering if it is possible to root this device ,with it running 4.0 being a bit harder, i own an xperia play so i know a thing or 2 about this device , but my questions lay with what method is best , what if there is any device usb files i can use for it and also what roms are comapitble ?
I am very clued up so any advice or explanation or directions will be useful
cheers
I don't think so. It's one of those obscure tablets that no one has really heard about. It has a unique processor b/c it's custom made by that company and dont't think anybody has worked on it.
If you are looking for a good, rooting tablet, try the Nexus 7.
Thanks for the advice. I only got this to kind of introduce me to the Tablet world. The Nexus 7 is definitely on my top must have

There might be a way to do it. I know my friend got a cheap $80 tablet off of Amazon that just said Google on the back. It had no brand name what so ever on it. It turned out to be a wondermedia wm 8600 or something like that running some hacked gingerbread version with a fake market. It had an old touch screen, not even capacitive. I found a tool designed to root it and put official market on it and everything, and it worked for like 50 different models that were similar. It didn't make it great, but it worked better and at least had the official market. Maybe there is something like that for yours.
I can't think of the name of the program, but try looking at your model number info and try searching for that specific on Google. You never know what you might find.

It has Android 5.1 and would like to find out if it can be upgraded. I think the tablet is made by Kubi and is model number KB-T900, but I could be wrong and probably am. If anyone has any suggestions for how to upgrade, root or otherwise improve the device, I would appreciate the help.

I'm looking at recent one on Amazon as well. 10" Kubi, 4gb RAM, 64GB ROM, Android 7.0....
Says upgrades are downloadable. I also see its an MTK chipset so you can use the SPFlash Tool, which is just like Odin for Samsungs....
Have you ever found root?
Awesome specs for $125 !!!!!!!

No, I never did and, after a month or two, the device stopped working properly. I have yet to determine if it is the digitizer that’s gone bad or something causing the OS to run slow. I pretty much gave up on it after getting no answers to my question.
