flash lite for vpad 7

but there is a subsitute Full Adobe Flash (which runs on ARM v7 CPUs with Android 2.2) will work for all Flash apps/applets as well as video. Flash Lite runs on devices that don't meet the requirements for full Flash (like our vpad 7s) either due to an ARM v6 CPU or Android 2.1 Flash Lite will work for (most) Flash-based videos, but not for apps or applets.

why viewpad 7 can not run flash 10

Keep as a records more explain in http://androidforums.com/viewsonic-tablets/344403-viewsonic-viewpad-7-faqs.html Adobe Flash is not supported on ARM11v6 architecture. Originally Posted by RootinAround I know these forums are new and work is just getting started. But I have been looking these tablets over and I was wondering if anyone thought that the vpad 10 dual programing could be put on the vpad 7? The internal memory is much smaller on the 7, but could it be done? I have a DX and need windows to SBF. Plus the vpad 7 has GPS, where the vpad 10 doesn't. So having it all would just be perfect! Good luck guys. You're pioneers. No, despite the similar names, the Vpad 7 and 10 are not related at all. The Vpad 10 has an Intel atom CPU and runs android x86. The vpad 7 runs a more standard arm 11 CPU that windows can't run on.

Later YS Koh told me that all android need to be at least ARM7 archectiture in order to run flash. This can be found from android system infor.apk under CPU detail

second attempt to backup the ROM

Please refer to original
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1015005

I have asked question
http://androidforums.com/viewsonic-tablets/345625-how-backup-viewpad-7-original-rom.html#post2755471 but I focus on below to continue my process of backup the ROM -Stock Backup:
1. Open up ADB shell within a terminal.
 2. Get the list of partitions: cat /proc/mtd
3. Pull each original partition from the device onto the SD card: cat /dev/mtd/mtd3 > /sdcard/recovery.img (example...change for each partition)


Install Alternative Recovery Partition:
1. Copy the flash_image and clockwork recovery image to your SD Card (Find Attached Below). 
2. Open a terminal (via computer or terminal emulator). Enter ADB shell. 
3. Within ADB shell enter the following to change permissions for the flash_image: chmod 755 /system/bin/flash_image 
4. Replace the original stock recovery image by copying the clockwork image in it's place: flash_image recovery /sdcard/cwrecovery.img
  [I do a su command infront together with the command still to solve the following error
error writing recovery: Permission denied]


Installing Custom Firmware:
1. Copy the custom firmware of your choice to the SD card. 
2. Power down your device. 
3. Depress both volume keys simultaneously followed by holding in the power switch for a few seconds. 
4. Upon power up you will see the birds logo and 'enter recovery' text in the top left corner of the screen. 
5. Use the volume keys to step through the menu. 
6. Select 'Backup & Restore' followed by 'Backup' to make a 'NANDROID' backup of the current firmware. The backed up ROM should be located in: /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/date&time/
  7. Once the backup process completes you will be back at the main recovery menu.
  8. Select 'apply sdcard: update.zip.
  9. Once complete select 'reboot device'.

Yestersday I was able to run Link2SD on blanked 2G SD card Today I was too haste and try to move partition on existing 16Gb SD card (that I force shutdown during fdisk) it still can be accessible but not recognize by link2SD So mission suspend and need to plan for the migration or have to wait to buy another 32 Gb SD card during june PC Show There are few things to prepare as viewpad go for second factory reset again 1. The Access Point Names for Singtel brief as APN = e-ideas Username = 65ideas password = 65ideas (without APN the USB tethering will connect but fails to login) 2. Few app need to download first eg link2SD app2SD but problem is update for Maps, Gmail etc will auto download and it is unstoppable 3. The USB connect with PC may need to reset So best way is to reset the PC then Un-install the viewpad PC tool but plug out and plug in the USB The RUT ADB driver will auto install (please remember to press next button) 4. I may need a copy of ubuntu CD to the two partitions on SD card So I will continue blog on process of link2SD trial process

How to Factory Reset an Android Phone

A friend just gave me their Android phone and it has some of their old data and loaded software and programs they have on. How can I reset the Android phone to factory settings and make it so it is completely brand new? I want to remove all settings and downloaded applications. Wow, keep that friend! Who ever gives someone else an Android phone is a good friend in my book! To reset the phone to factory settings, we’ll go into the settings options of your phone and do a couple quick clicks to get it to reset itself. First, be sure that all the emails, messages, programs, data (contacts…etc) are backed up on that phone because they will not be able to be retrieved once the phone is formatted. Resetting a phone with factory settings is like getting the phone brand new from the wireless provider. It cannot be redone and will require re-activation when it reboots. To reset an Android phone, go into the “Settings” options of the phone (usually a link in the All Programs). Look for Privacy and at the bottom there is an option to Factory Data Reset. If you click this, it will confirm your selection and remind you there is no turning back after. Update: On some new Android devices, it may be under the SD & Phone Storage >> Factory Data Reset Once you have selected to confirm your choice, just sit back and wait for the phone to reset itself; it will look similar to starting up and powering on the phone as you normally do!
