OK here it is for testing

md5: db16ff4122fd69246097852a91cd1e61

Still unfinished but I can't work on it anymore today.

If you have a bluetooth dongle, it'd be great if you could let me know if bluetooth works.

Based on 703 gingerbread firmware.

Changes:
-using u-boot.bin and utscript from official Coby firmware
-using kernel and utmodules from Alldro2 firmware
-added Honeycomb UI from 1010 firmware
-lcd_density=160
-samsung fingerprint
-hardware-accelerated ui rendering
-custom utscript.sh based on Fonix232's upgrade system
-added latest Market (3.2)
-rooted (Superuser 3.0.5)
-accelerometer fix
-probably other stuff I forgot (check patches)

To disable Honeycomb UI:
-Edit launcher.inf in update folder
-Change "honeycomb" to "stock"

Thanks:

jmv_10 (telling us about Alldro2 firmware)

lfom (accelerometer fix)
fonix232 (upgrade system)

new firmwarm installed without a hitch. hmmm, i think it will have to grow on me. the bottom line is tiny. tiny is good.
i tried but i could not turn "on" the bluetooth.
.
edit to post. by changing the usb port in settings/advanced settings/usb mode ... from its 'default' of device mode to host mode... well then bluetooth works...
.
oh - and the first time i put in the wifi credentials it connected, and then dis-connected for a minute . . . and then came back and connected again and i thought 'how strange' - why did it do that ?
.
bottom line - is excellect but needs a tune up. hth

nope, normal speed, i ran antutu. well actually ( for me) it seemed to be just a little sluggish ( but prox32's tune ups makes things snappier, imho because that teenager has done those tune up step fifty times at least. )

I agree, it could definitely be made faster.

I'll take a look at prox32's Underground ROM to see what kind of tweaks he uses and see if I can apply them to this ROM.

Thanks for testing bluetooth

edit: OK I think I found all of his battery life/performance tweaks
I'll make a prox32_tweaks_patch.tgz and post it later

OK here are the prox32 tweaks.

Just unzip and copy the files into the firmware update.
My tablet feels a bit snappier now.

Steev,

When you say copy the unzipped file into the update, I see an "update" with two folders in there, customers and patches. Do I remove the files contained in each folder and put in with firmware or keep everything as is and copy "update" folder into the firmware?

Don't delete anything, just copy the update folder from the zip into the firmware and let it merge with the original one.

Just installed it, testing and its the better rom i ever tested, congrats.

Well, the accelerometter is just the same thing in the older rom (the oficial one), my car turn to left when i am playing xD
Installed go launcher and its running well, the problem is that with go launcher, when i press menu the menu don't sta above the notification bar.

I will be waiting for another rom, thanks for working on it!
