Arnova 9 G2 Custom ROM by Finless V1.3 available!

[Damo]

As for you been stuck do Android 2.3.1 I can't see Arnova upgrading to anything above that as they are a budget tablet company, your only hope is for a Rom developer spending a lot of time converting everything to a newer version of Gingerbread but for all the work it would involve it would not be worth it

so is there no hope for the 9 g2 to go further? I've only just bought one and was duped by pc worlds add which says "OS version - gingerbread , now upgradable to ICS" , i might just take it back and swap it for something that supports a more current OS.....

Ics ideally needs 1gb of ram to run properly but that is not to say it wouldn't run. Try getting Pc world to contact Arnova as to if this is to be upgraded to ics as contacting them yourself , you will get a dumb answer as there customer service for answering questions is lame.

hmm....

i already tried arnova, I wrote a nice long message, the answer came 3 days later which was "no you cant"

i might see what options pc world give me, although the tablet is really impressive for the price so I'm reluctant to return it,

is there much benefit to me on the 9 g2 from using a ROM upgrade to get honeycomb?

Forgive the dumb questions, I'm a windows techie so android is uncharted territory, I'm used to dell and HP servers running an over expensive OS!!!

I tried the Honeycomb version of the Arnova 10G2 and to be honest I did not like it at all, the implementation of it was poor(not down to Bob!) it was the work that Morka did.

I would stick with Bobs Rom on Gingerbread if you decide to keep it, the Rom is fast.

1st thing a big thank you to Finless worked 1st time and is working great, I know I've asked before but do you ever think we will see GPS support in your roms for the 9G2 I would love to be able to use mine as a truck satnav one day.

Thank you

Battery life is medium/low, depending a lot on the screen brightness (which can be set within a really wide range). My guess: between 4 hours at max brightness to more than 10 hours at min brightness.
During daily usage at medium-high brightness you can expect it to last about 5 hours.

At low brightness the screen is really dark. I find it perfect for "couch web surfing" at night when all lights are off. But during the day you can't almost see what's on the screen at this level.

The only way I could really get into the recovery mode ready for flashing is this:

1. Connect the USB cable
2. Switch off the tablet
2. Press Menu + Reset
