Sorry, I dont really have the time to write steps by steps guides. There are many good information on the web, search using google or visit XDA, The best way of learning this is to get your hand dirty and keep trying. I might sound unhelpful, but once you have experience/understand the time/effort required, you will understand why.

There is one nice guy(who can afford the time) though who seem to be willing to provide steps and guidance for compiling rom for a10. You can check out this thread:

[TUTORIAL/DEV]Build AOSP Android 2.3.7 for Allwinner A10 tablets (Teclast P76Ti) - xda-developers

How can I make a Rom for Android ICS (MID9742) from the system dump files?

killerkink I am trying to install this on my polaroid 702c which i believe is very similar to the polaroid 701c, but the apk when opened shows just a blank screen, no options. Is this due to it checking for a compatible tablet? Perhaps can you post the restore.img file for the polaroid701c so that I can manually install or can this be fixed on my end?

thank a lot for the help.

I dont have the time to work on support for other tablets than p76ti at the moment. Really sorry.

I have a huge problem...

I have one a10 device from hungary..the name is xTAB50...i make CWM reco, but however there are problems with it. i need help!

it has no physical buttons, only power and reset...

install KKRomkit v1.22 on stock rom (2.3.4), install p76ti version and copy to recovery partition (nandf) the correct disp.ko, lcd.ko, goodix_gt82x.ko, etc/recovery.fstab, init.rc...and reboot to cwm

it works but not perfect...the white buttons do not perceive it in the vertical position is okay, but not the horizontal

ok..no problem...build my own version :D (I use CWM Based Recovery On-Screen Touch Navigation Controls [Team UtterChaos])
i have "device tree" for this a10 device (but stock android 2.3.4)...copy in my CM7 source (the source is o.k., build other device)...
and:
. build/envsetup.sh
lunch
make -j4 recovery

the completed recovery binary file copy in my recovery partition to sbin directory. and reboot...

and here is the problem the screen is not perfect...and useless

no idea. But if you are interested, there is source for patched for a10 device. However, mine is using goodix_touch.ko. You have to figure it out if it does not work out of the box

thx for help...which branch for official CM7? gb-release-7.2?

I think my device tree is a bad...but why,what? :( i don't know...

i need a "universal" a10 dev.tree...or p76ti dev.tree because it worked

your profile on GitHub have a cm_device_allwinner_a10 and android_device_allwinner_common...these two only for ICS? which branch for CM7?

must be something else?

Current Release: v1.22

I have successful ported the CWM with Touch support for Teclast P76ti and planned to extend this to other A10-based tablets. If you have one of those and wish to run CWM on it, do let me know.

Note that this is only applicable for tablet with screen resolution of 800x480. Other resolution is possible but not at the moment.

What I need is the following:

1. your touchscreen controller

do a "lsmod" using android terminal or adb

2. your keyboard mapping file(/system/usr/keylayout/sun4i-keyboard.kl)
Hi, I have unknown A10 tablet, which uses Goodix touch...
How am I supposed to install the CWM? AS i see the download is APK - so I have to simply download and execute the .apk?

In that case, its likely that it will work on your tablet. Which android version are you running on 2.3 or 4.x?
