After loading Androot, I tried doing the soft root, but that failed. So, I went ahead and took the plunge and did the hard root. This one worked! I also loaded on Root Checker and sure enough, I have root access.
I then reset the tab and the root access is still there. Next, I want to load Gmail and the Android Market. I've been looking at the post here and trying to figure out how to get the Android Market on, but have a few hiccups.
Gmail, on this tab, is not available. On the other Sylvania tabs, the directions show that you can add it though the Add Application link. On this guy, Gmail isn't on the list. I did download the latest Google Apps pack from Cyanogen, the hiccup here is how do I load these?
I'm used to having Recovery on my phone where I can just flash the zip file. Here I don't have that luxury. Any thoughts on where to go next with this? After getting the Google Apps loaded, then I want to try the Market, which from what I can tell, if Gmail is working, then the market should work pretty smooth as well.
We'll see. If anyone has any thoughts on how to get the Google Apps loaded then let me know. Dec 26, Click to expand We have yet to figure out who makes them. The 'look' like Flytouch 3 or SuperPads, but they are different inside and you will brick your tablet if you try to flash the ROM. The are more closely related to the ICan 10" inside, but still a little different. Nov 26, 25 I got one of these also. I've been messing around with it quite a bit.
My amazon appstore works just fine. I'd suggest you check you payment method, your CC might have expired or something. Androot's soft root option works as well but always fails on first attempt, but second works. As for the google apps pack with out a recovery to flash the zip you have to do it manually. IE: open the zip and copy the files into the correct locations. The menu button does do something though. As for the tablet it's self, I'm not that impressed, With a 1ghz processor and MB ram i thought it'd be able to as much as my phone can.
BUT simple things lag like crazy. And it seems like the touchscreen has a delay on initial "touch". Netflix works, but is unwatchable.
Video plays slow and audio plays normal. Youtube plays fine. I'd love to get CM7 on this thing to see how it does. Oh one more thing. The upgrade system thing. Every time i check for updates it always has one, i download it and let it flash but it's always the same version. Did it about 10 times now. Anyone else having this issue?

Company: sylvania Board: error FileNum: I also like to use Root Explorer so I downloaded it next version 2. You may want to reboot after installing each of the new apps.
Web Anti-Virus Light. WiFinder is a good wifi tool. Rescan media root so you can stop the media scanner from scanning every time you reboot which speeds up boot time but you can still scan on demand. Changing Boot Animation: Absolute System Root Tools works and you can change the boot animation, there are lots to choose from. BUT, beware, either not all are compatible or some are corrupted, if you install the wrong one you may not get past boot and will have to do a full reset and start all over again rooting and setting up your tablet.
Some of the animations do not play at all so after the Sylvania logo it is blank screen until it finishes booting up. Most are made for portrait instead of landscape but there are some landscape boot animations. There is also an editor function so that you can modify boot animations, add some of your own images to an animation, etc since this is a low end device make sure the boot animation you choose is not set at too many frames per second.
There are some other really useful apps like android assistant tools and my settings. Great accessory: Case with keyboard and the keyboard works fine with this tablet, it has a regular size USB plug but a USB to mini dongle fixes that easy enough, I got it on sale for Last edited: Nov 20, You must log in or register to reply here.

In the system, only the main administrator or as he is called the superuser root has this function. What are the dangers of getting root access? There are several universal tools that automate the root process and make them available to even the most novice users.
One of the most famous is "Framaroot". This program allows you to root a very large number of different devices. And even if the name of your gadget is not listed in the list of supported ones, it still makes sense to try, because the probability of getting root is quite high.
