Thanks for the update
I read everything....All except that.
So it should be able to flash image files too.
The only problem I could see with my beloved Android Commander would be flashing when the device is off. Like you have to so with Livesuite.
Unless the Volume+, and tap the power button method works with Android Commander too.
Thanks again.
Don't worry I don't sleep either
I will be here popping in, until around 3:30 am, lol.

When I found Android Commander through far too much Googling. I was impressed.
It's so much faster than ADB commands
And off-topic.
I have another tool.
Although not as feature-rich as Android Commander.
The apk backup feature, replicates what Titanium Backup does. By making a copy of all apps and data files to your internal SD card.
It's called QTADB.
Android Commander has a similar feature but only backs up the apk.

@Mitre.
You are a brave fellow.
My Mrs would Castrate me. (As I mentioned earlier)

no it hasnt flashed it just boots back to 2.3 probably will flash the individual nand .imgs to the Dev/block folder rather than a complete OS like Sun4i_Crane_ i read the update for partition changes to be compatible with ICS
it probably would flash roms i will try on my phone at some point and post back

Thanks for trying.
At least we have Livesuite for image files.
So I doubt it would flash the Clockwork Mod Recovery either
And I will attempt it, once Chainfire supports ICS.
I can't live without that.

I flashed suggsy89's ICS image last night using LiveSuit but my Scroll Excel is now unusable. It reboots every minute or so. Is there something like syslog on Android where I can see what's going on? Also suggsy89, can you send the link to LiveSuit? Mine may have been dodgy.

Cheers,

Firstly i would like to thank suggsy89 for this, i now have a fully working ics scroll excel with no issues.
One small niggle that i soon ironed out, the default browser, which seemed to crash constantly and reboot the scroll, its rubbish anyway so i installed Opera Mobile which is really quick and doesnt freeze or reboot.
I did manage to trash my first install but it was my own fault, i know what i did and it caused a bootloop, nothing to do with suggsy part just me. After i trashed it i just reinstalled ics using the other install path not (LiveSuit will eventualy detect your device, click "Normal upgrade" option) theres only 2 options.
So far installed all the usual suspects, facebook, ebay, dropbox, 4shared, books etc and all working great with no problems.
All the issues that were there before have gone, video really sharp with no lypsync issues, flash 11.1 working great, in fact cant find any issues at all everything just works and is really quick.

Just one question suggsy, how can i do the below and exactly what it does, pulling my hair out as i cant find the file lol. I had already fixed the market previously on gingerbread using the build.prop.old way so i have a rough idea.

A quick to to get the "Phone UI"
Change build.prop "ro.sf.lcd_density=120" to "ro.sf.lcd_density=160"
You now have a qiant phone

Thanks Again

Use "rootexplorer" app, download from market, you have to purchase it, but it is worth it.
Open up rootexplorer app
Navigate to > System
Open it
Find "build.prop"
Long press on it, select "open in text editor"
Find "ro.sf.lcd_density=120" and change it so it looks like "ro.sf.lcd_density=160"
Exit and it will save, reboot...
Revert the change to go back to the normal "UI"
