I must have too much time on my hands!! LOL cheers RG.

Will try this tomorrow when I get another card.

 

[Biotic]

Credit goes to u

Took me one try to get it installed

One thing I recomend to people, go to walmart or somthing and buy a 1 or 2 gigger card just for updating ur tablet so u don't screw up ur important one? U should own 2 anyway since there's 2 slots.

As far as tablets go. It depends what u want. Compare the specs. I'm no expert but id see what I want most and look at reviews

[jeffh]

Whats the minimum size card I need to buy m8?? As the boot sector takes some room?

 

[Biotic]

Now that I think bout it. Its probably best to have a 4gig card lying around for this. Their dirt cheap on amazon and newegg.com. I would think 2 can handle this

Unbelieveable. I swear unto the lord himself......best firmware yet. With 1623, I had to use launcher pro but I really liked the default launcher which was crappy. Now it is VERY smooth and I am happy. My tablet thanks you. I thank you.

One *Little* problem though...I lost my live wallpaper feature. Anyone know how to get it back?

 

[Wendigo]

"best firmware yet"

I must agree! This is my 4th firmware (1020,1568,1623) and the smoothest so far. And seems rather stable so far. Rooted using UniversalAndroot-1.6.2-beta5.

Could i ruin my tablet if i do somthing wrong?

Hey, thank you for the instructions ! What a great update, my pad rocks!

But ... how do I unmount and get my SD card back to FAT32 ? I have lost 8GB (I know, should get a little one for this sort of thing).

Any pointers how to get it back appreciated
