Gingerbread!

I've just upgraded my tablet to Android 2.3: Gingerbread ;-)

I found these instructions for upgrading the HAIPAD M7.  Now, the device I bought is a "TabTech M7" - but as far as I could tell it's the same device as the HAIPAD M7.  So I downloaded the files as per the instructions on the Haipad page, copied them to an SD card, put it in the device and restarted.

Cross fingers and hope!

All seems well, device now restarted and has Android 2.3 Gingerbread ... it has however lost all the apps I had installed, so I need to get them back on the device (and hope they still work) and see what new features I've got.

Apps reinstalled and working on 2.3:

  • Blogger
  • Kindle
  • Flash Player (10.3)
  • Dolphin Browser
  • FeedR
  • K9 Mail
  • TaskList
  • KeePassDroid
Haven't tried attaching an exernal bluetooth dongle (which was one of the main points of getting A2.3) yet, but I notice the bluetooth settings are now available in settings - which is a good sign.
