How can I upgrade an Android tablet that won’t receive official updates?

Zsolt Simon asks:

Hello,

How can I upgrade my Android version (1.6) on an Eken M002 MID tablet, if there is no further offical update for this product? Is there any standard procedure to port a ‘normal’ version of Android for this hardware? If I can do this then 2.2 would be enuogh for me!

Thanks for answering.

Thanks, for responding! But in this forum, the links don’t work, tornadocomponents.com says, its a domain what you can purchase.

the M002 can not run Android 2.2 yet. because of the hardware required. however, i have read on the internet that it is possible, i guess someone will have to cook a rom for it. untill then, the Ekeen M002 can run only on the latest release for MID’s Android 1.7.4. hope that helps.

I suggest replacing it with a newer model.
