Atleast what do you expect by seeing the built quality and working?

Well it's Ok-ish type.

ICS is not intend to run on this hardware. 1GB RAM should be the min. requirement for ICS. Too much laggy to work on. Simply watching Movies / Reading E-books won't be a problem. Don't expect multitasking.

Build Quality I'd say it's all plastic. Looks fine but may be it won't survive after few drops and rough handling.

Its not same but the quality seems to be good. Semi-leather for Rs.287 is very cheap. But problem is that the seller is not from India.

Steps for Flashing CUSTOM RECOVERY + CUSTOM ROM + SCRIPTS



Ok, so let us begin...!!

[YOUTUBE]s7eiL-6lYkM[/YOUTUBE]​

Here are the steps that we'll follow...

1. Install Custom Recovery
2. Backup Stock ROM / Present ROM
3. Flash Custom ROM
4. Install Scripts
5. Modding your ROM with Allwinner Mod



Those who are new to this Android and Flashing thing, I'd recommend to read [READ FIRST] [REF] Dictionary for n00b - What is.../What does ...mean? (2011/01/17) - xda-developers to understand the terms / jargon's.

INSTALLING CUSTOM RECOVERY
1. Download CWM Recovery 5 ICS.zip
2. Extract it.

These are the requirements fo Flash CWM...
- tablet must be running Android ICS version (4.0.x)
- tablet must have Superuser installed with SU binary loaded
- tablet must have Debugging enabled (ADB drivers included)


Your Funbook is Pre-Rooted, so we'll just proceed with installing Superuser App from Market

3. Go to Play Store and download Superuser.
4. Go to Superuser App > Settings > Su Binary > Install the Binary
5. Reboot.

Now we'll enable USB Debugging

6. Go to Settings > Developer Options > Turn On USB Debugging.

Now we'll increase the screen timeout to prevent screen from getting turned off in the middle of these procedures

7. Go to Settings > Display > Select Never at Sleep.

8. So now connect the USB Cable to your PC and Funbook and you should see USB Debugging Connected notification.

At this point, if this is your first time, you may see Windows trying to find Drivers which will fail ofcourse. Go to Device Management [Press Windows Key + R > Type devmgmt.msc] > Right Click on Unknown Devices > Update Driver Software > Browse My Computer for Driver Software > Both 64bit [Drivers-AllwinnerA10-64bits] and 32bit [Drivers-AllwinnerA10-32bits] Drivers are provided there within a folder named ADB_Drivers under the Recovery Package, so just browse them according to your OS Specification. A screen may appear up saying "The Publisher of this Driver could not be verified", just ignore that and "Continue Anyway".

9. DO NOT TURN ON USB STORAGE. LEAVE IT AS IT IS.

Time to install CWM. There are two methods. One is easy, by running a script and another is using ADB by typing commands. You'll get an _Instructions.txt there which lists both the methods in case you want to try out the 2nd method. Here I'll only cover the easy one i.e. using Script.

10. Run recovery-install.bat [Windows] / recovery-install.sh [Linux] and press any key and just wait and watch the show :D

11. Within few mins recovery will be installed.

To reboot in Recovery Mode -> Press Options Key and by keeping it pressed, Press Power Key. Release Power Key and then Release Options Key.

12. Reboot.

So I can use any charger of 5 Volt and Amperage doesn't matter? Do high amp charger charge the battery faster? And low amp charger charge slower as PC USB port is low amp charger @ 0.5 amp.

If the battery is capable of drawing more current(which it should), having a higher current rating should lead to faster charging..
Even if you get a charger with lower current rating, nothing will happen to your tab, but the charger might overheat..

I have got my Funbook from Ebay, i think around 3 weeks back. As i was out of my home i did not use it for 2 weeks this week i was playing with this and noticed some dot/wave like effect on the screen, generally you see this kind of behavior when you press hard on the Screen with your finger. I am seeing this with out that.

Hi,

Gone through the posts and have seen that some members were successful in connecting 3G dongles other than Photon +. I have Micromax MMX 352G & Vodafone K3570-Z usb data cards with Reliance 3G sim but was unsuccessful in connecting with those. I've also flashed with custom ROM 4.0.3-97F1-D1-H2-H01-N413.20120314, but still not successful in connecting. The apn field is blank and I cannot add/save a new one. Can any one help me out please.

Other than this I have found this device to be awesome in such low price tag.

Thanks in advance..
