Credit goes to u :)

Took me one try to get it installed

One thing I recomend to people, go to walmart or somthing and buy a 1 or 2 gigger card just for updating ur tablet so u don't screw up ur important one? U should own 2 anyway since there's 2 slots.

As far as tablets go. It depends what u want. Compare the specs. I'm no expert but id see what I want most and look at reviews

Now that I think bout it. Its probably best to have a 4gig card lying around for this. Their dirt cheap on amazon and newegg.com. I would think 2 can handle this

Unbelieveable. I swear unto the lord himself......best firmware yet. With 1623, I had to use launcher pro but I really liked the default launcher which was crappy. Now it is VERY smooth and I am happy. My tablet thanks you. I thank you.

One *Little* problem though...I lost my live wallpaper feature. Anyone know how to get it back?

~id say intermediate, just follow directions or ask for help...hence why we are here
Am i gonna notice a difference in performance?
~Depends who sold your tablet. The flytouch 2 market is iffy and some tablets dont have the same hardware inside of them...Hence the second generation that was just released.
Do i update my flytouch 2 with froyo with this update?
~nooo this update is for the first generation FTii tablets
Do you see a performance difference?
~yes i do but it doesnt mean everyone else will
Could i ruin my tablet if i do somthing wrong?
~ofcourse:)...i mean :(
Will this sd card process screw up my partitions on my TF card...
~yes it will and we will fix that once your update is installed.
Is it genuine?

Hey, thank you for the instructions ! What a great update, my pad rocks!

But ... how do I unmount and get my SD card back to FAT32 ? I have lost 8GB (I know, should get a little one for this sort of thing).

Any pointers how to get it back appreciated
