I have two short questions about the Mele A1000:
1) Video hardware-acceleration does work on Android out-of-the-box, right?
2) Will the Mele A1000 get an update to Android 4.0 (ICS)?

1) Yes

Hmmm Jean-luc already looked into it and there apears to be an issue with the 3.0.31 kernel and the MK802. So for now you have to use the 3.0.8 kernel.

Anyway, Jean-luc made a nice script a couple of days ago, similar as the one from linaro. If you want to use 12.04, you might be better of building it yourself using the Linaro rootfs as that is really optimized for ARM

The reason I say this is because if it's 6 months away many people might want to buy alternate hardware like the zotac boxes.

Gimli, you can't go teasing us folks and not give us a rough idea of idea of a release date, go on be a sport and make our Christmas come early by letting us know how many weeks or months we have to wait, I'll even say pretty please with a cherry on top if that helps lol
J1nx, just noticed your post, so by you saying post the big bunny test, means you guys have definitely cracked it. Come on we wanna see..........don't keep us in suspense any longer

It is done when it's finished Big Grin

But that is without video hardware acceleration Rofl

This is Build "apollo_mele-eng 4.0.3 IML74K 20120401 test-keys" and has some serious bugs.

I read that some users got their Mele A1000 deliverd from china with Build "apollo_mele-eng 4.0.3 IML74K 20120422 test-keys & google play (market)" which has market included and no FCs.

Any idea where to get that build ?
Is there any way to extract the rom from a device ?

Can I ask what util people are using to write the ics image to SD as I tried a couple of apps and it wouldn't boot yet Ubuntu imaged booted perfect


RE: Allwinner A10 : Is XBMC ported to MALI-400MP ? - d1dd1 - 2012-06-16 23:35

I use Phoenixcard which is in the original Mele firmware update packages to write the image on the SD.

I made firware updates, didn't try to boot the ROMs from SD.

Tried phoenixcard from win7 but it just keep bombing out, maybe I'll try windows xp
