i have had the Craig Tab for a while now, and there has finally been some movement on it. I'll be posting anything i find from other sources as well as my own experiences with this. There IS a CWM recovery available, it needs to be installed with a script manager. Also to access recovery after this it will be power vol+.
i'm cirrently at another desk so I'll have to come back and update all the info.
I'll try to keep all the relevant info here in one manageable plpace. Any others that have info, please post together with any attributions as needed.

i'll be back!

Well here we go.
For starters this is the Tab we are looking at. There are two versions, but first the general info


7 Inch Digital Capacitance Touch Screen ( 800 x 480, 16:9 )
Processing Speed 1.3 Ghz ( Sun4i, Allwinner A10 ) Stock is clocked at 1Ghz /w Fantasy governor, you can overclock to 1.15Ghz max out the box
Android 4.0.3, Adobe flash 11.1 pre installed
Front Facing Camera (0.3 Megapixel)
1GB DDR3 Ram
802.11 b/g/n wireless connectivity
Multi Point Touch Screen
3D Gaming Accelerator ( Mali 400 )
USB OTG connectivity ( You can use your keyboard, mouse or any compatible peripheral with the supplied dongle connected to the device )
Rechargeable Battery ( 6 Hours continuous use )
Built in speaker and Microphone
Micro SD Card slot ( Support up to 32GB )
Stereo Headphone Jack

The diff between the two tabs are minor but Important.
There are two digitizers that are known, the zet6221 and the Goodix GT811.

First off rooting this gadget was so easy, find and dl the Drivers_AllwinnerA10_32and64.zip and then make sure that adb is setup. I used SuperOneClick to root the tab. Worked perfectly first time out. [sorry about the bold, just noticed it].


Now you will need a backup, a complete one. I made use of Titanium Pro, and placed the files on the external card.

now there is a thread at XDA that will supply a ton of info as well as the CWM recovery for this.
CWM Recovery 6.0.1.2 for Allwinner A10 LY-F1/TREQ Tablets - xda-developers

cwm_recovery_6.0.1.2_a10
is the recovery file as posted in XDA. [CWM 6.0.1.2]

Extract the file to the root of your 'sdcard' [ie, the internal one ]
From a term Emu or ADB enter these commands
cd /sdcard
sh install-recovery.sh
To then boot into recovery enter
sh reboot-recovery.sh

Controls are
Power= select
vol+=up
vol-=down


I'ved tried many diff apps, but have settled on online nandroid backup, and nandroid manager to handle the backups and believe it or not there is a device specific patch available for us as well. just dl and install thru nandroid manager.

Android Tuner is my fave for most of the android devices I come across. Be careful, it can't be emphasized enough, Bricking your device is your choice, be aware of the possible issues in advance.

now there are ROMS available for this tab, just be certain to check which DIGITIZER you have. Also as far as I've found so far there are issues with most of the Roms that I've come across, ie; no cam [back facing anyway] no screen flip, and other minor things.

I'll post the links to the roms in a bit.

You may be better off [?] tuning your existing device, take out apps that are just excess weight. I had good luck with the Xposed Framework, found at XDA, And other apps like V6 Super Charger, also from XDA link

[V6BD63457] Since I've Been SuperCharging You... I'm about to lose my bashing mind :P - xda-developers

Well let me get that rom and then I'm done for a minute.....

Well Do I continue here or just say.. hey this site has all together so go there.. Well, You choose:} Heres the link to a port of CM9 and 10 and alot of usefulle stuff for the Craigs and oth Allwinner a10's.

Unoffical CM9 ported from Christian Troy For CMP741E with gt811 LCD

Don't know why it took me so long to find it? I was looking for crane-evb, that's why.

Later,.
Ben
