I have tried to pull together all the different bits that people have been doing into one ROM for the Hudl. This ROM started life as TabbieDroid by hal2710 and has been worked on by me since.
Before I get into the ROM I would like to say a huge thanks to 900supersport for all his help. Not only has he created a brilliant kitchen that allowed me to start work on this rom but has also provided me with loads of help and information along the way, thanks mate. Also on this list of thanks are hal2710 for the his work on the recovery and boot images, PaulOBrian for the stock image and CaptainMidnight for implanting the Tesco update and fixing the loop issues.
Right the ROM, this is still a work in progress and I am learning both Android dev and Linux from scratch. I am also a full time mature student so although I will be working on the ROM to improve it and add new features please don't expect it to happen over night.
Android 4.2.2 with Tesco .200812 update - No bootloops
KitKat 4.4 Launcher with GoogleNow
Full init.d support
Rooted
Busybox
Zipaligned
All Tesco Bloatware removed.
CWM Recovery
Some added scripts to hopefully speed things up a little.
Right install is a little different then the stock images. We now have a program called RKAndroidTool that will allow us to flash individual images should it be needed. The process is very similar to before.
1. Download the zip file attached. http://www.freak-tab.de/900superspor...ios_rom_1_0.7z
2. Download and install 7zip if you don't have it. http://www.7-zip.org/download.html
3. Extract the zip to a folder of your choice.
4. Put your tablet into flash mode (Bootloader) by holding down the VOL-UP and pushing a pin into the reset hole on the back.
5. When Windows pings and locates the device install the supplied drivers in the extracted folder if you don't already have them installed.
6. Run RKAndroidTool.exe - Once run it should state "Found" at the bottom of the program. If not then either you don't have the tablet in flash mode or you have not got the drivers installed.
7. Select boxes 2-3-4-5-6-7. DO NOT SELECT BOX ONE and click flash.
8. Once the flash is complete the tablet will reboot into the recovery. From here use the volume buttons to select "wipe data/factory reset". When that is finished again use the volume buttons to select "reboot system now". This will then ask you is you want to "disable recovery flash" select YES
Your tablet should now be booting into the OS. You will still have to wait for the Tesco update to complete. Once the update is completed and you are in the OS you must reboot straight away so as to remove the rest of the Tesco bloatware. There is a handy app on this ROM made by Petrus here on FreakTab that will give you a reboot menu (Thanks Petrus). Once you have rebooted and the ROM is bloatware free I hope you enjoy it.
This will be the main thread for problems and assistance, I think it only fitting that the site receive the attention as they have spent so much of their time help me and getting this ROM up and running.
If I have forgotten to mention anyone that has help in anyway please just shout.
Hope you enjoy it and if you can help with the building, modding or anything else give me a shout.
Cheers
Blinky
