Just letting everybody know --- there is already a working Android image with English language and working WIFI. Check out the Jiongtang Forums for MID > A81 and you will find the instructions and related links on this Android.
Be warned though - it works but the touchscreen is very bad. Rarely accurate or does not respond. The power off and power on is a little bit sketchy. For some reason every time I turn off the A81 Android device and leave it for some time, when I turn my A81 back on, I lose all my configuration and some apps no longer work.
So I am testing for the following:
1> Proper shutdown procedures
2> Apps that will put the MID on standby or sleep (so there is no need for a full shutdown which I believe is causing the problem. Because in real life you don't really turn off your Android --- you simply put it to sleep or standby. Auto screen shutdown built in on Android does not shutdown the screen - it dims it but it never shuts down)
The good news --- HA! Almost all apps work, well apps with APK that you can find. And you can easily install it via PC or even directly from inside the MID itself. There is an app that does that. Combine it with downloading power of the Opera Mini 5 then you got a killer MID that has an Android market.
I'm still trying to figure things out. Anybody needs help let me know. Cheers.
