[Q] Moonse e7002 apad (n00b questions)

Hi there, I recently acquired a Moonse e7002 (not 7001) and so far, I'm pretty happy with it (it's not perfect but good value for money). However, I have some questions and couldn't find the answer for this device in particular. The problem is, I have a reasonable amount of experience with flashing WinMo but have completely no experience with android.
I read that android 2.2 (this device runs 2.1 update 1) is radically better than previous versions. Is it possible to flash 2.2 onto this device like it is similarly with a WinMo device? If so, where would I find these roms?
I read that there are a lot of clones out there and that all models with the same number (this one is a M701) are completely identical. As such, can I flash the firmware from those devices onto this one?
I found a FW370 package (I think that it is the latest) and my device runs (I think) FW331. What do these firmwares do exactly? Details seem to be non existent at best.

[Q] Android noob, Generic device, A few questions?

First let me introduce myself. The name is Darcy and I have been casually using linux and other *nix OS for about a decade. I am in school working on a programing degree ATM, and am a pretty quick study. Anyways, I without much research bought my wife a generic 7" tablet running android 1.6. I know what processor it has and Im hoping that leads me to a place to start. Ok so the device is a "Kasser Net'sGo" we didnt realize that its just a china pad with another companys name on it when we ordered it. So most of the apps dont run correctly, and in general the device sucks(on a software level the HW is fine although generic).
Anyways it apears that i can get into recovery mode to flash if i had no other choices. But since there are no official roms im hoping to find a build thats based on the same CPU or similar hardware to find a starting point. Its running the Marvell Aspen 800mhz chip and standard ddr2. Sadly thats all we have been able to find out about this device.
I have compiled custom builds for linux before, and i have now purchased a Gtab so i have a less garbage device to test some things on(i have allready flashed 2 different roms and fooled with a bunch of the settings). But we would realy like to do something with this other tablet. So if anyone can point me in the direction of some info on how to do android builds or a repository of chipset drivers and such that might help me that would be greatly appreciated.

[Q] It seems similar to the Galaxy S2,can mods for S2 be ported to the GT7+ ?

I have a Galaxy S2 which seems to share the same chipset as the GT 7+.
I've just ordered a tab7+ and as there is a massive amount of roms available for the S2, including ICS. Would the binaries for the S2 help make an ICS rom for the GT7+?

Binaries? No - completely different screen, very different peripherals, and no Honeycomb for the Tab 7. Even when both have ICS, they will be very different builds.
Kernel source? Due to being 2.6.36.x, the Honeycomb source base for your kernels has differences from the S2 codebase - so a lot of stuff can't be directly applied, but a competent developer (you have one with garyd9) can apply the "concepts" in many cases.
Unfortunately, Samsung screwed up the wifi driver in the 7 Plus. It's binary-only (no source code) and it seems to have bugs.

I don't think there are any kernel mods I'd want to bring over from that device. As far as what the OP called "ROMs", I have no idea what they are referring to. There doesn't seem to be any read-only memory in the tablet.
If he meant "firmware", then I have to admit that I'd prefer not to do that kind of thing. There are many different kinds of developers in the world... some get off working at the lowest possible level (kernels, etc) and others prefer higher level things. I'm the former, and it would take the latter to do firmware development.

Generic Chinese Tablet upgrade firmware

hi there
I have this cheap generic chinese tablet.... it's a sun5i - SpreadwinPuppis - running 4.0.4 ICS
Now, since these chinese things are so widespread and there's soooo many variations, I know this maybe a shot in the dark, but is there anyone on here who knows how to upgrade it from ICS to JB??
I know I am being a bit vague with the description of my tab, so if anyone needs any specific information about it, tell me and I will tell you what you need...
Thanks in advance...

BTLE in ICS?

Hi, all. I just received my Photon Q yesterday (crazy, right?). I managed to find one that's practically new and still running original 4.0.4. I bought it primarily to use with goTenna Mesh, but I didn't find out until after the fact that Bluetooth Low Energy wasn't implemented until Android 4.3.
Does anyone know if it's possible to add BTLE support without upgrading the whole OS? If so, what all is involved in doing so?
(posted here as I don't have enough posts to create a topic in development)

Trying to backport BTLE to the stock OS would not be worth the time or effort.
