Thanks for that.

I will double check it anyway. I spent last night cleaning up everything, I've got way to many firmware files on my dev system =)

You will need to root your device load the correct version of clockwork recovery mod from here http://www.androidtablets.net/forum...0-recovery-s7-clockworkmod-recovery-port.html move the zip file that you have downloaded to your sd card, boot into recover and load the ROM. If you are uncomfortable doing all this I suggest you not try it.

I suggest you do with some reading lol

So to use this ROM do I just create a bootable CWR SD card like I do with my Nook Color? I am totally comfortable messing with ROMs on my Nook Color, but not clear on how to do it with my S7.

Maybe you used the old Singapore ROM as a base instead? The kernel build date is November on your ROM I think, where as it is January on the new Singapore ROM.

Looks like it. I'm going to put a newer version up once I've sorted out something. I hoped to get it online this morning, but I rewired some of my home network and forgot to plug in my build box. So a little stuck there. for now.

That's the idea. It also means once you've got the recovery installed. You can install these roms without having to wipe your data partition.

I'm currently working on a newer version, should have it done sometime this week.

But I've just not had enough time over the last week or two.

Take care and stuff

Okay, made a few minor changes (nothing that important.) And I can't see any significant issues with this rom, so version one it is.

Enjoy,

Any issues just add them here or PM me =)

I've been having fun creating these. But where to go to from here.

I'm still trying to build android from scratch for this device and not having much luck, to be honest I'm a little out of my depth here, and documentation is pretty sparse.

If I could just get a normal build of 2.1 going I'm pretty sure I could then get 2.2 and so on running. But I'm really lost with how to actually go about doing it.

If only I had all the build stuff from huawei.

Well I've been playing around with things with my android system building.

This I'm calling v1.0b (b not as in beta but as in b as an alternate.)

I've replaced the Zeam launcher with the default android launcher.

Why because I can =)

Its nothing special to be honest but something to play round with.

It will be up in about 30 mins or so, my upstream at home is slow as.

Hi!
I`m testing Your rom for 2 days now and there are some issues with it.
First of all, the strangest problem is that power on button doesn`t powers OFF the device. Though it works ok for bringing s7 to life, it doesn`t work otherwise.
Then I recieve some times crash notification from Cell-Phone app. The problem is that i don`t even have a sim card inserted. I`ll give a try deleting it by SystemApp Remover and write again.
And the last issue is the "low memory" notification. It appeared only for one time and gone with reset, so imho it is just a problem of my device.
Apropos, my device is 104 (resistive display, bought in Germany) with 8Gb flash memory and a me mory slot.
What would I see in Your next release, is the "lite" version of the firmware: there is only ca. 110 memory avaidable in Your ROM, and there is an official russian firmware from Huawei with 140 mb App-Memory. For me it was a perfect Rom without any software except Market, so user can install what he wants (maybe filemanager and gallery, but nothing more).
But aufter all Your firmware rules Thank You for working on it!

I think anyone who flashes this ROM should first upgrade their firmware to the newer Singapore firmware to avoid any issues with baseband and partition sizing.
