TESTED and PROVEN - WOOT!
This ROM was created by wicknix for the Eken M009S
- USE THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!

A BIG Thank You goes out to wicknix who has done a GREAT job tweaking the EKEN M009S AKA MID V7..

I have tweaked his MID V7 version to work on the MID V8 per the instructions provided by Diskotekno
.
- Thanks Diskotekno
I have re-bundled specifically for the MID V8
.
- I have also added some additional programs.

- Alternate Link: Dropbox.com - MIDV8-Modroid-v7.rar

Here it is. The latest and last release of Modroid (unless Eken releases a Gingerbread or Honeycomb based firmware).



Based on the latest 1.5.1 firmware
Installation and Tips document updated
Fully Rooted
Removed Stock ROM garbage apps
Custom modified framework (has been reworked and sized properly now)
Apps2sd working
Real Android Market
Hosts file to block most in app ads and website ads
Increased volume output and microphone gain
Removed wmt MyPhoto and replaced with QuickPic (slideshow now works again)
Added Live Wallpaper support and 1 aquarium live wallpaper
Borrowed and modified Uberoids "changer.bat" and env_uboot files so that Modroid could support more devices more easily.

If you have problems with wifi or touch screen, try a few other options in the changer.bat
If that doesn't work check out these links:
Green LED with vibrate and dual point touch 7"
Alternative Green LED env_uboot 7"
Modroid thread on the Uberoid forums
If you have wifi issues look here
If you want to play with BlueTooth look here
Eken Official Firmware for many devices

If after flashing your device has no sound do this:
After the ROM has been extracted to your SD card go to the firmwareinstall/env folder and find the "env_uboot" file that you used and open in an editor.
Change the line "setenv wmt.audio.i2s vt1603:f1:f2:ff:ff:100" to "setenv wmt.audio.i2s vt1603:f2:f1:ff:ff:100", then save the file. Now reflash.

I'd like to thank Slatedroid, Rodger, HCH, DrCheap and all the forums and users for bug reports, fixes, ideas etc. Without all this information being shared online Modroid wouldn't be what it is today.

Cheers.

I removed bing! and google voice in the update due to force closes from side loading. They work fine installed after the rom is flashed.

Are you able to get this working for the m013s and so that the wifi works?

This would be of a real help to "funder" who is trying to get modroid 6.5 to work on his m013s tablet.

Thanks

Just updated the 1st post with the V7 of Modroid... modified to run on the MID V8.

Link: Mediafire.com - MID V8 - Modroid V7 FINAL

Now I must be off to bed.. I have been up for 19 hours... dog friggin tired... but got a lot done in these past couple hours with the T9 having a new firmware and modifying the Modroid etc...
Ones work is never done it would seem.

I will be attempting to find time to do the MID V8 review video tomorrow as well... using Modroid V7.


Enjoy!

I would suggest trying the firmware update one more time.
I also notice there is a slight delay before I can select an option on the touchscreen...

Did you purchase the unit from Merimobiles?

You may also want to try the Slatedroid Singularity ROM by Roger Calver.

If that one has the same problem, then we probably need to find a working ENV_Boot file for your device.

O.k so I got it to flash again and it seem my env_uboot file needs to change. I have green led vibrate unit. Can someone post the correct file? I tried to print it off another unit I have but the modified date showed as 01/01/2000 and I am sure this was why the tab was stuck on the start screen.

Might sort out a lot of guys issues if we could get the env file posted.

There is already a newer Version of Modroid out there in the MID V7 (lil daughter) forums... is that compatible also?? Howto update to it?

and i don't know about this green blue red LED stuff or with or without vibrate, are there THAT many differences between the V8 devices? Mine is from Merimobiles.com it has blue led on the home button, but also red when its charging and i think it doesnot have vibrate function...

thanks in advance

I bought a MID V8 (Green on-light, Black audio connector) from Merimobiles.com
I tried Flashing with both the MrTasselhof Custom ROM, and the Slatedroid Singularity ROM.
With both ROMs the unit boots up, but the touchscreen is not working.
No CHANGER.bat file came with ROMs.
Does any know what mods are needed to the env_uboot file to make it work for the MID V8 model I have?

*** FOUND SOLUTION ***

Followed instructions at http://www.techknow.t0xic.nl/forum/index.php?topic=72.0
- Downloaded Universal_Uberoid_WM8650_v10.1.7z (link: http://www.mediafire.com/?3t7cb1i5fzw2mrk)
- Unzipped to SD Card
- Used CHANGER.bat with option #40 (JSA8inch_std_vt1609 8")
- Installed new ROM
- MID V8 works like a champ
