SuperPAD II (SuperPAD I with 512MB RAM)

[Chandos]

knew i should've waited, the 8gb iBex Flytouch3 has just been released: 8gb iBex Flytouch 3 Superpad 2 Gets 3g Flash 10.1 Topples Zt-180 Zenithink 2

Oh well, looks like we'll be able to upgrade memory ourselves in near future.

dwcunplugged and thechillhacker already upped theirs to 16gb.
Upgraded internal microSD card

Swapping out the card took me a minute, but only because of the original 4GB flash card format. I think 16GB is the internal limit for our tablets. I was originally going to expand the standard 4GB to the full 16, but now I am thinking time to experiment with dual boot of some kind.

Very interested in your progress on this dwc, please keep updated . What are you considering dual booting with? A different OS?

Yes, someone had mentioned puppy linux so I will probably start there and expand to see what I can get away with. I may try a couple of different live boot thumb drives first and figure out what may be functional and what isn't before I actually try full installation. First I am going to make sure I can fully expand to the 16GB card and post my results in the thread I started for that little project. Then I will start working on the dual boot thing.

Any luck yet? I have spent half the night reading these two articles and still nothing. It all seems pretty straight forward, but pad doesn't want to cooperate.

Sorry, sort of dropped out for a while... I haven't messed with it to much and then came the Thunderbolt! I've bees seeing a little about a ROM for these now and it seemed that resolved the adhok for some

@ QuietFire: Be carefull, I have opened my Flytouch II and my touchscreen never worked fine again. I have opened iit a few times trying to solve the problem until I broke the screen.

LOL, just be really careful if you do, that touchscreen cable is really easy to break. I pulled mine a little too hard and it snapped the end off. I have been out of town for a week, but now that I am home I am going to start working again with my tablet and see what can accomplish.

@ zittergie did you get the screen fixed? I am still waiting on my replacement screen because I broke the cable. What specifically did you break on yours?

Dully noted... I've been fixing laptops professionally for nearly 10 years, so I tend to be VERY delicate with my touch...

dwc, you got any pics of the insides? I doubt I'll find an IPB online!

There is good descriptions of how to open your flytouch on this thread:

http://www(dot)apad(dot)tv/apadforu...ave-8000mah-Battery-Replacement-Upgrade-Avail (Replace (dot) with . )

They are working to upgrade the battery to the 8000mah, also to replace the internal speakers, amongst other stuff.

Cheers

I sure do: http://www.androidtablets.net/forum...t-2/12270-upgraded-internal-microsd-card.html

I posted these when I upgraded the internal card. And the battery wouldn't be that hard to replace, if you have a more powerful one with the same physical size specs as the pack already installed.

@ dwcunpluged: Just broke the touchscreen, everything else still works.

I am not going to install a new touchscreen, but will sell the pad for parts, or for someone willing to install a new touchscreen.
If someone is interrested, it is the Flytouch II with 256Mb & 2 SD card slots. I have also the cover with keyboard, and included will be a 2 GB SD card with the new Firmware.

I am waiting for the ASUS EEE Transformer

 

[QuietFire]

Awesome... I'll have to wait for the battery and speakers to avoid going in more than once.
