Hey,

I got my Ideos Tablet S7 not too long ago, and I'm already close to running out of space for applications.

Anyways, I want to root my tablet so I can have more space for applications. I searched Google and these forums for info, but I haven't found anything that was much use, unfortunately...

Any help, and information would be great.

Yes, I noticed that, however I don't wish to root my tablet unless I can increase the application storage... I would like it if someone would give me some information on how to do that, as said in my first post...

Thanks for the answer though!

This is still being developed for this device.

Ah, sorry. Because of the title on your post, I thought you were looking for information on how to root it. I read somewhere some information about formating the internal storage, or something along that line. Never tried. Too complicated for my pea brain. But if I manage to remember where I saw it I will post it here.

That's the answer I was looking for, thanks!

Also, if somebody wouldn't mind answering another question, the tutorial mentions UniversalAndRoot and z4root. Which is better for the device, and why?

Rooting will not give you additional storage space.

Z4 did not work for me but UAR was one click and done.

My personal experience is that I have tried both, and while they seem to work, I had issues installing software that requires root with universalandroot, whereas I have not had any problems with any root requiring app after rooting with z4root.

 

[pbrauer]

I also definitely prefer z4root. I found I was getting a lot of false positives with UniversalAndroot making me think I was rooted but really wasn't.

I'm a new S7 owner (Christmas present to myself) and I just tried z4root and it was a snap! So far I'm very happy with the S7 and can only hope it gets the development it deserves. I'd love 2.2 and some custom ROMs.

 

[pbrauer]

We are supposed to get Zn official 2.2 ROM Q1-2011, and hope to have a community ROM sooner.

 

[SikYou]

I just unrooted to give z4 a second chance and it worked fine. I hope to start working on recovery, kernel, and rom within the next few days.

The bounty is still unclaimed, good luck!

rooting allows you to add 3rd party apps. We first need a recovery and then someone needs to port a rom. It sounds like it might take a while and huawei sounds wishy washy about weather or not the s7 will be recieving the 2.2 upgrade but i'm sure the recovery/rom will be completed by a dev if the company doesn't officially release it for this device. I really like the product but lack of 2.2 bothers me. I've been using skyfire which works for flash/html converting on a lot of websites. That browser is awesome.

App2sd only works on 2.2 which sucks. internal memory for app storage 128 mb is unacceptable. This is the single most prevalent issue that 2.2 android will fix in my opinion and flash is second. Hoping for working recovery + rom by new years.
