Flash with PhoenixSuite (tutorial)
After flashing the tablet, a Setup Wizard should display on first boot to configure your network, regional settings… If the wizard does not appear, just disconnect your USB cable from the tablet, make a short press on the power button to turn off the screen. After the screen is turned of, press the power button for a short time again to power the tablet, the Setup wizard should appear.
Please report any problem with this firmware, I can't verify this custom firmware works as I don't have a Onda V972 (hardware V2) to test it.

Hi,
my device ONDA V972-v2 (ROM KASTY 4.2.2 v30 2013-05-22)
- I can't install with Arctools neither TWRP or CW-R
- WIFI with FreeBox is OK
- SKYPE video is OK but voice only works with headphones (I can't hear speakers)
- Video MX Player with H/W codec is Ok
- Market is Ok
- Front and main Cameras are Ok
- It's for the moment the best ROM I tried
Are you able to Install TWRP with Arctools ?
Tablette ONDA V972-v2 ROM STOCK 422 Root

2013/05/09

Excellent work best ROM released so far! I have been looking at init.d scripts for better battery life if/when I find any that improve what I am getting ATM I will report here (currently getting 3-4hrs Max with general usage, browsing streaming and watching videos WiFi on continually)Â
I have noticed that the sound is quite poor when not using earphones, as many have reported, but seems as if only one of the speakers is working, one nearest the USB port. Anyone else seem to have this issue? Thanks Â

Hello,Â

Same behaviour with Evernote. Does anyone had same experience? Solution?
Â
Thanks,
Sorry I have no solution, but I can confirm that both cameras are working on my ONDA V972-v2 (ROM KASTY 4.2.2 v30 2013-05-22)
Tablette ONDA V972-v2 ROM STOCK 422 Root

I've had the same problem with a camera.... "Gallery stopped working", also the touch screen seemed over-sensitive and I couldn't scroll properly.
In my case, the problem was with the hardware version, I have installed V1 and the camera is working perfect.
Check the hardware version of your tablet, and flash with V1.
Hope this helps

Just got the camera problem figured out. Any V1 tablet with the firmware upgraded to V2 previously will still considered as V1 tablet in this latest 4.2.2 upgrade. Flash the tablet again with the V1 update.
Did this and camera is working fine now but battery drain is still fast. From full charge to about 50% in slightly over an hour. My guess battery can last only 3 hours under normal usage.

Totally correct m8, the battery life s dismal, Onda needs to release the source code for the Firmware so that someone )here) can make a proper firmware to utilize the power management on A31 chips
New custom build based on official firmware version 3.2 just published:

Hi, I flashed the rom on my Archos 97 Platinum HD (which should be a rebadgen Onda V972.
Everything is OK except the camera that does not work. It says me "Unfortunately, gallery has stopped".
You could tell me: why the hell did you install this firmware on the device that is not an Onda V972?
Reply: Archos stock firmware sucks a lot, and with this the tablet is perfect except for the camera that does not work.
I tried to download the stock firmware from archos website, in order to find the camera app in the zip, but I did not find it. I would like to replace it for seeing if it works.
Any idea? The tablet is Allwinner A31 based, and has 2GB RAM (usable: 1.5 [why?[).
Is there a possibility to make work the camera?
Well, it's almost ok for me that it does not work, I probably never use it to take photos...but well, it is better if everything works...
Thanks in advance for any reply.

This thread is firmware for the v2 hardware, usually if you have this problem using the other firmware fixes it, try the v1 firmware http://www.arctablet.com/blog/forum/onda-v972/onda-v972-v1-hardware-android-4-2-2-jelly-bean-root-custom-firmware-v3-2-1-final-2013-07-26/
