CM10 for Coby 8042

[jcruckus]

Ok, vampirefo, how much would I need to donate to your beer/kids fund to get you to make cm10 for the 9742? I'm getting lost in all the build and porting stuff and the mobiz rom you ported was fantastic, it just doesn't click for me for some reason to do it myself. I'm a good tester, not a developer.

How much? I don't know that is figure you would need to come up with.

I don't have a 9742, so I can't test anything, everything would be raw, untested

JB is very large I doubt 9742 system could support it.

There are no guarantees that your tablet wont get bricked.

It would support my 1042. My system partition is 503.9M...but have not tried get

vampirefo: It will fit just fine on the 9742 with plenty of room to spare

I installed this just to test:
[rom] Unofficial CyanogenMod 10 for many AllWinner A10 tablets - xda-developers

and everything booted and worked nice and fast, except for a few things, such as wi-fi, touch, & sensors. Is it faster/easier to port your 8042 rom than to build cm10 from source?

Thats cool. What compatability zip did you use? Does the rom come without gapps. He mentions that a system partition less than 300 meg should not flash full gapps (and exeed the system part). Mine is the same as the 8042.

yes much faster, building from source can take days. But you can build it from source if you want, will help you understand things in the long run, and why only few people dev.

Yes this is without gapps, and gapps can't be added on a small system.

two choices expand the system with livesuit or run from sdcard.

 

[jcruckus]

Yes, gapps is separate, but it installs fine. I tried the novo elf and the aurora compat pacs, but all I got was boot, no wifi, touchscreen, or sensors

The 9742 has 8gb of storage, 4gb are reserved as the internal sd card, and the rest is for system, data, cache, etc. I know for a fact 2.Xgb are system and data reserved space, as at least 1.9gb are available for system data apps use.

for a fact? ok simple test will tell you, so you wont have to guess.

adb shell

busybox df -h

below is output of coby 8048

the system is 380 MB and is currently using 246.2 MB has 133.8 MB of free space.

[vampirefo.]

your /system 252 MB you are using 221.6 MB you have 30.3 MB free space

your system is the same as 8042 and 7042 too small for jellybean.

 

[jcruckus]

Well now, that was an unfortunate surprise. How did that other rom work then, did they strip stuff or did it just partially install. I thought the hurdle was the combined system and data size due to google now. So why did that cm10 rom work???

 

[vampirefo.]

it worked cause it's stripped down without gapps, if you don't want to use playstore or any google stuff, then the rom would be just fine for you, continue using it.

Vampirefo-

I am running into issues with getting cm10 to load still. It looks like everything works, but it never boots into cm10, it just sits there. Below is a picture of what I typed into adb by following your instructions.

Please let me know if I'm doing something wrong...

 

[vampirefo.]

you need to format the partitions, do you see where it says Use 100% for data and system, that is why it can't boot format them then push the system.

adb shell

mount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system

mount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 /data

rm -rf /data/*
rm -rf /system/*

busybox tar -xvf /sdcard/1jb8042_system.tar

flash correct boot.img

reboot
