ICS [Stock] and CM9/AOKP ICS for MELE A1000

Files:

1. Official MELE files:
1. Official 4.0 V1
2. Official 4.0 V1.1
3. Phoenix card software for Windows 7
4. Phoenix card software for Windows XP
2. CM9/AOKP files
1. Recovery file
2. Mele 1.0.8 Legacy file
3. Gapps signed
4. AOKP
5. CM9
6. ADB Recovery files

Installation process for MELE Files:

1. Flash the desired image with the corresponding PhoenixCard version to an SD card.
2. Turn off MELE
3. Place SD inside of MELE
4. Turn on MELE
5. Wait for it to stop flashing red and blue lights
6. Remove SD card
7. Turn on MELE

The problem is that the xpad module is not supported with the original ICS files, which means no Xbox controller but CM9 and AOKP support xpad.

In order to flash CM9 or AOKP:

1. Turn on MELE
2. Connect to Ethernet.
3. In the ADB Recovery files
1. Run HDMI or VGA scripts according to your setup(CWM will use this output).
2. Edit the script.fex MAC address for yours.
3. Run edit bootload.bat
4. Copy the following files to the SD
1. Recovery.img
2. CM9 or AOKP, your choice
3. Google apps
4. Mele legacy file
5. Execute install-recovery.bat <mele ip address>, this will make MELE reboot in recovery mode.
6. During recovery mode
1. Wipe cache
2. Wipe data
3. Flash CM9/AOKP
4. Flash Google Apps
5. Flash Legacy File
6. Go to advanced -> Fix permissions
7. Reboot.

If something goes wrong during the flash process, MELE won't give video at all or it will get stuck in a bootloop. Just flash original 4.0 image and proceed to flash CM9/AOKP again.

IMPORTANT:

CM9/AOKP won't work if you flash 4.0 V1.1, you have to be on 4.0 V1.0

The boot image comes pre-rooted.

XBOX 360 controller support in 3.0.8 kernel

The XBOX 360 controller doesn't work in my MELE (Kernel 3.0.8) because the kernel modules needed to support it [ ff-memless, xpad ] , are disabled by default in our kernel.

Download the ARM kernel
git clone git://github.com/amery/linux-allwinner/tree/lichee-3.0.8-sun4i

Install the necessary libraries / binaries

apt-get install gcc-4.4-arm-linux-gnueabi build-essential u-boot-tools (if u-boot-tools not found, try uboot-mkimage)

Configure
# make clean
# make -j4 ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=/root/CodeSourcery/Sourcery_G++_Lite/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi- xconfig

Check(Press 'M') the following modules:
Input device support -> Support for memoryless force-feedback device
Input device support -> Joystick / gamepad
Input device support -> Joystick / gamepad -> X-box gamepad

Compile the modules
# make -j4 ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=/root/CodeSourcery/Sourcery_G++_Lite/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi-

If you get "arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc" not found, run:
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc-*version* /usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc

That should give you the xpad.ko in the drivers/input/joystick file.

Move it to the MELE, then run

su
insmod xpad.ko


Alternatively, if you don't want to compile the kernel use this module.
xpad.ko module
download it, copy it to the MELE and then run

su
insmod xpad.ko
