SuperPad2 Flytouch3 Hybrid Tim Rom (rooted)
Version 6 is based on the 20110803 firmware (Android 2.2) with a bunch of other stuff & tweaks added in,
and s0l's Huawei 3G sticks support lib added.
This rom should work with most flavors of Superpad 2 - Flytouch 3, but keep in mind that there are many different models out there, so something could go wrong with your model.
Flash this rom at your own risk.
Please report in the apadtv Hybrid rom thread also if the rom is working well for you, and not only if you have issues :)
that helps to know if the rom is heading in the right direction or not.

User Reported issues
- Rotating the screen while into Launcher Pro's drawer "compacts" the icons on top of each other
=> to fix swipe your finger on the screen as if you wanted to scroll the page.
- Calendar doesn't always see your account
=> restoring calendar settings from titanium backup seems to fix the issue
=> You can also declare a corporate account by entering your google account info
How to report issues
Things to test before reporting:
- make sure you have read all the Tips and searched on the forum before reporting an issue.
- make sure you are flashing and booting up while on power supply and not on battery, and when you are doing the testing
- try to reproduce your issue right after flashing and before restoring anything
- do not put your SD back inside or restore anything on your tablet when you do the testing.
- do the dalvik-cache clearing by clicking on the corresponding GScript and see if it helps your issue (next reboot will take a couple more minutes , this is normal)
- wait that the cpu usage is down to close to 0% for a few seconds before proceeding with testing.
How to report:
- List all the necessary steps to reproduce your issue
- If you can, record a video of the full process from flashing to the issue.
- If your issue is a slowdown, define in details what you define as a "slowdown" and what you are comparing it to to determine that something is "slow", as it's very subjective.
- Reboot and reproduce your issue right away,
- then Launch the GScript light application and click on the "Generate report" script, wait that it finishes, and send me the report.txt file that has been generated into /mnt/sdcard.
- Indicate when and where you bought the tablet, and describe it (red led, green led ? ..)
Maybe that will help to find out a pattern in common for tablets that have issues. ;)
That shall be the procedure to follow for all problems I can not reproduce, thanks to follow that procedure. :)
