The GOME FlyTouch 2 which runs on ANdroid 2.1 has an ARM11
processor at 800 MHz and 256MB of DDR2. Thus equipped, it is
capable of playing full HD 1080p video with no jerkiness....yea ok
thats enough of that because if you bought this thing without
knowing this already....you may not want to go any further.
Stage 1: First boot
On your very first boot of your new pad you will find it sluggish,
this is normal and honestly given its price range to be expected.
Turn your pad OFF and plug in the charger regardless of "out of
box" charge level and leave it to charge for at LEAST 12 hours
remember this is a very low grade Lithium ion battery and will
"chemically lock" itself if not left to prime and charge leaving you
with a ghost charge eg: stating it has 90% when in reality its
more like 30%.
DO NOT USE THE PAD DURING THIS TIME!
BEFORE you start to install apps and the like you really should do
the following.
* Take a note of your factory unit number without it you cannot
access earlier versions of the units firmware and may not be able
to access the Android & Google market.
* Understand that without a functional micro SD card (formatted
to FAT32) many apps simply will not work.
* download flytouch-2 generation-1 update 3245 and root your
pad by following the in forum instructions to the letter.

Stage 2: Apps and online functionality
As this pad is capable of browsing the net you will at some stage
want to do so but to do that you must set up your pad's WIFI
connection. the on pad instructions are pretty easy and if all else
fails check to make sure the WIFI switch at the side of your pad is
switched on.
Now on to Apps.
* Confirm WIFI connection and press the market place icon, the
green English one not the weird shopping cart one.
* Create a Google account (or link to one you already have)
* Download your apps!....
...unless you want paid apps in which case turn off your pad again
At this time paid apps are on the fritz, this does not mean you
cannot have them but it will mean having to buy them through
your google account on a desktop computer.
* log into your Google account https://market.android.com/
apps/
* choose the apps you want and pay for them
* Turn on your pad and click on the android market icon and
watch as they download and install
yea...its just that easy, makes you wonder what all the QQ is about
Stage 3: Themes
Ok so you have functionality but lets be honest WoWpad isnt
exactly pretty despite the whole pseudo 3D thing with the
rotation app box.
* Pick a theme (best bet is on your desktop so you can get a good
look at previews etc.)
* Download it ....
* go to your home page and long click (about 5 seconds) on the
HOME button at the top/side of your pad
* select your new theme ( in my case the shiny new Gingerbread
theme) and press ok.
Stage 4: 3G functionality
ok this is a biggie so bear with me, you MUST use one of the
dongles listed here AND ONLY THESE MODELS as they contain a
compatible driver interface setup.
Flytouch2 Support 3G network modem (your best bet is to copy
the dongle brand name into ebay)

To access to the Internet in 3G mode, you must buy one of the
dongles specified above. To do that, you can place a compatable
sim card you bought and had activated by your provider into the
3G network adapter, and insert the adapter into the USB port of
the device. At the time, the indicator for 3G Internet access will be
illuminated. Now simply click the flashing 3G icon.Dont forget to
check box in your settings menu for 3G rather than WIFI and turn
your WIFI off. you should now see your 3G signal strength
indicator which means you have 3G level internet access.
So what you have now is the best the pad is CURRENTLY capable
of, its rooted (if you followed the guide) running the best (full
functionality) firmware presently available and you are now
capable of running all the apps and with a little luck working with
functioning 3G. hope this helps
