This is not compatible with the "Old" Essential
Only use this if you are 100% sure the proccessor is an Allwinner A10

Development place-holder for Android 4.0.4 firmware for the Scroll Essential

Ported from here http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/32261-n ... urora-404/

Based on work for the Excel
They are both the same, apart from the Touchscreen which is resistive rather than capacitive.
Thats why its cheap lol.

Should be working for the Essential, got it to boot within an hour.
I have not fully tested as i dont own the Essential.

Seems to work nicely so far. Flashed one Essential - now flashing the other.

A few notes: Google Play works perfectly - thank you. When you first boot it asks which apk you want to run and has a choice between 2 - one called setup and can't remember the other one, I chose the setup option and it worked fine.

Tested iPlayer with latest Flash from Play and it's amazing - no lag, jitters, freezing etc. I was even able to skip forward 20 minutes and it played without any issues or lag! Actually works better than the Extreme at iPlayer

Sent a fiver your way for a beer or something

Hi 3stage. If you follow the steps in this post: viewtopic.php?f=57&t=2581#p20729 then you should be able to get CWM installed on your Essential in under a minute.

i have all files now but CWM doesnt seem to be installing, i follow the steps with "CWM Recovery Script Scroll Extreme_TEST" 1 first which looks likes completes succesfully, the 2 reboot, but still boots android recovery not CWM

Hmm. suggsy - got any ideas?
