MeLE_A10_SDK1.6_V2.0.1 img+sdcard version

This firmware is particular with its frontend looking like Windows 8.

Original thread: Mele brand new Win8 GUI v2.0.1 update
This is an update from 1.3.1 firmware but I generated a new firmware image (less issues with previous state).

From what I saw:

- mp4 seek fixed

- network issues after suspend seem to have been fixed

Here are the modified versions:

Phoenixcard image: MeLE_A10_SDK1.6_V2.0.1_20130411_en_US.img

dd-able img: MeLE_A10_SDK1.6_V2.0.1_20130411_en_US.ddimg.bz2

sdcard version: MeLE_A10_SDK1.6_V2.0.1_20130411_en_US.sdcard.bz2

Reminder:

PhoenixCard image is flashed using this: PhoenixCardV306

dd-able img is flashed using:
  - under linux: bzip2 -cd Mele_4.0_V1.3BETA_revised_en_us_4.ddimg.bz2|dd of=/dev/sdx bs=4096

  - under Windows: uncompress the archive before, and then use WinImage

The SDCard version is something like a "live-sdcard". You can run it without affecting the flashed image.

sdcard version, under linux only, run: cd sdcard/; make DEV=/dev/sdx (where sdx is the sdcard device number).

This time I chose to not include APEX launcher.

You can download it freely from here: Apex Launcher

<not tested>: To get google apps, from the installed Mele firmware, use the Internet navigator and download this:
http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip
This will put the file in /mnt/sdcard/Download/, where the init script looks at.

Reboot, wait for the device to reboot and you are done.

The details of what is modified in this firmware from the original version:

- boot defaults to en_US
- deactivated /system/lib/hw/sensors.exDroid.so (fixes 100% system_server bug)
- added /etc/init.d capability
- added capability to install gapps if zip present in /mnt/sdcard, by a /etc/init.d script
- removed the Chinese applications (you can still find them in the original update.zip in system/preinstall and system/vendor/app, I kept Flash Player).

- added xpad.ko module (found here: MELE A1000 Hacking - XBOX 360 controller support in 3.0.8 kernel)
