skytex skypad alpha 2

Has anyone tried to replace the battery in this tablet? Skytex wants $80 to replace it but that's just ridiculous. I'm aware that I'll probably have to solder a new one in but I've heard that with some tablets you can't get them back together once they've been opened. Like, something expands or...

Hi all, Long time since I've posted last but am having an issue with the tablet. I am running RabidROM ICS on my Alpha2 and it was working fine for the last year and a half until it carped out on me the other day. Now, I can't get LiveSuit to install the firmware. I did a factory reset but that...

I was playing around and I did a Livesuit image with a working CWM Recovery. Then I flashed the A10 Jellybean. I had to reboot into CWM and wipe everything then it booted and setup. I got a corrupt Sd message. I played around a little and got the vold.fstab swapped to use my 32GB instead. I...

Just got the new Skytex SP712 which is the revamped version of the Alpha 2 and their new budget pad. I will do a review a little later but this benchmarked at 2130 on Quadrant which is pretty good for an A1o out of the box.

This is a stripped down ROM Based off of the latest stock ICS 4.0.3 with the touchscreen fix, for the Skytex Gemini 7 inch. Minor WiFi tweaks, build prop performance tweaks. OOM settings. Min clock speed increased for smoother transition from sleep and slow down. Flash using Livesuit. Full...

I could swear when I first got my Alpha2 with Gingerbread that my camera was focused on my face when I held it in front of me (landscape). After upgrading to ICS, the camera now focuses on my ear when in the same position. I know the camera hasn't physically shifted, so I'm wondering if GB had...

Dead touch screen or dead LCD. I picked up 6 Alpha 2 on Ebay with either dead touchscreens or dead LCD. All but one of them could connect to ADB or Livesuit flash, but stock and custom firmware didn't fix the issue. I was messing around with images and I decided to give the Uberoid for the...

Here is an easy way to add init.d support to your Alpha 2 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1933849 thanks go out to Ryuinferno and everyone else that made this possible :)

I take no responsibility for you breaking your device. and sadly enough the company (SKYTEX) wont help you if their firmware updates break it either The(laughable and badly written) Instructions on how to flash a rom with Live Suite are at the bottom of the page. Live Suite is included in...

Just a quick note as I have been asked on various forums. I do most of my Alpha 2 stuff in Gingerbread 2.3.4. Why? Mainly because it easily out benchmarks ICS when installed, many games do not play well under ICS and Even with the different launchers and such out there ICS just feels...

DOWNLOAD HERE This is the same as other visual mods I have posted. It installs through ADB or ADB Wireless which is included, with instructions. This is a visual theme only no tweaks.

I have put together a Play and Gapps suite installer for the Alpha 2 ICS . This is not for ICs nor should it be used to try to correct a bungled Play install. Voice Search, Play, Talk all work. You will need ADB drivers installed to install or install the included ADB Wireless on your tablet...

This is the final for Rabid Rom Gingerbread 2.3.4 for the Skytex Alpha 2 AllWinner A10 Tablet. Changes: Wifi tweaks New build,prop for overall performance - I did not edit the build prop fingerprint for Play compatibilty. Vold.fstab edited to swap the external microsd for the /sdcard mount...
