airpad 10.1 xl ics

I see ployer has a new download for the CM008 hope it is a working version of ICS...
CM008-4-0331.rar
hopefully the X10 guys will give us some word about it today.
I have read alot of the allwinner based tablets are having issues with multitouch in ICS, looks like it could be a kernel issue but i am sure lots of people have been working on it.

well another week is at it's end and still no ICS.

No Good Friday for ICS?

I see the download file but it is password protected.
Do you have a link to an unprotected file or know the password?

This one is a keeper. Multitouch is working again, appears to be stable.

The buttons are still not assigned correctly but I have fixed the keylayout files if you need them.

[hairface]

keylayout files would be most helpfull.
can u give a quick rundown of whats in this build...ie google play or is it atleast rooted like present rom ?

[jcoleman2164]

Google Play works fine.
The browser is working much better than in 4.0.1.
Netflix is working.
It is rooted but you need the superuser app and to let it update the su binary.

Change these files in /system/usr/keylayout to get the buttons working.

axp20-supplyer.kl
key 116   POWER              WAKE

ft5x_ts.kl
key 139   SEARCH
key 102   BACK            WAKE_DROPPED
key 158   HOME            WAKE
key 217   MENU            WAKE_DROPPED

sun4i-keyboard.kl
key 102       VOLUME_UP
key 115         VOLUME_DOWN
key 139       VOLUME_DOWN
key 217       VOLUME_UP

Remove any other lines from those 3 files.

Between this update and fixing those buttons my XL is finally working the way I want it too.

Thanks for the very useful info!! ICS is pretty sweet will take a little getting use to but much faster and seems to also give more info.

4.0.3 rocks....
did the update on the road this weekend and am totally enjoying the update.

On Ployer's website it says it is a custom build. It works great; and since it has Google Play  I do not believe that it is the build they are doing for X10.  Whoever it is for it works great so far.  
I did not have any problems with the control buttons that I have tried so far but time will tell.

For those of us who are still new to android - and Airpads - will the instructions for updating the 7p work (with the obvious change)?

The instructions for updating the XL are exactly the same as the 7p, you will just be using a different image file. The non-X10 image that was posted works OK, but it is not perfect. It still needs some additional work.

when is X10 going to jump in and bless this ICS version ?

[Jimdi]

I see a lot of "banter" about this new ICS version with link posted above?

Is this version have the blessing of x10?  Or will you do a seperate posting when the "official release" of ICS for XL is posted?

I don't want to flash my system for a "beta" version.

Thanks
Jim

On  a related note - what are folks using to backup their AirPads before upgrading?
