The Cherry Mobile Superion is the same Android tablet as the Viewsonic ViewPad 7 we blogged about here earlier (probably came from the same Chinese OEM).
I found this guide on rooting the viewpad 7.

im looking everywhere on how to root our sup, but as of now im still unsuccessful. i just read from other threads that rooting the device would lead to a faster processor and better management of the memory (they say apps2sd would work well for rooted sup). anybody here knows how to root? pls share the procedure and actual performance of the rooted sup. tnx.
based on experience with my Cherry Mobile unit, sira na agad on the first instance na mag charge. the USB terminal is confused kung headset o charger ba ang nakapasok. it took the service center 1 month to replace motherboard.(bago unit pero papalaitan na agad motherboard, na QC kaya ang units ng Cherry Mobile?) after a day, balik ang dating sira nya. paala-ala lang to do your research before spending your money on china made items na hindi dumadaan sa quality control.
what does it mean when you root the superion and how do you do it? what are the advantages when you root the sup? thanks!
Has anybody here rooted their superion already? I’m thinking of rooting my unit to get apps2sd. I always get the low memory warning.
yes! as per Android Engineer confirmed, there’s no minimum requirements for gingerbread.

yes!!!GINGER BREAD…hmmm will it run on our SUP baka namimili ng processor yan hehe, Sir xian pls update us, tnxvm
@rey
Thanks for the inputs bro.
I’ve downloaded a compass app from the market and it works naman.
Anyway good news, gingerbread is here! I’m excited to experience it on the sup :)
as per compass, pag cnacalibrate ko naman after some tossing and turning lumalabas naman you have succesfully calibrated…., as per flash support try downloading skyfire browser. it does not support flash but if the site your visiting have flash movie it will notify you and you can open the flash movie in another window..this is true not only with youtube vidz but even for othe websites with small flash movies…though i tried other “atintube” vid sites :-), yun ayaw ma detect…cguro pang legit web sites lang hehe. just be sure to empty the cache every now and then as it accumulates in your internal mem.
i agree with sir isto, pls check the units carefully, though some were not really really demo unit but most of the staff already used them and plays with them, afterwards some who knows the works just factory resets them. the first one i got also have some sms and pics already but then again if the techie guys were able to test them and played with them then most likely it already passed their standards and its a good unit. OK lang sana if they admit that they tested the units and it work great as per their assesmnt but passing it off as a new unit…wag naman. Also one way to check is the battery, most new units will have factory charge which is at 40-50%,if the unit you got is fully charged or empty then most likely either they drained it or they….charged them, for you hehe.
@vidgen13
theres no flash support. buy galaxy tab if you want flash
guys, have you able to calibrate your ecompass in your sup? it never work for me.. :(
Flash support???
i was able to buy sa cherry mobile store sa sm southmall las pinas. marami sila stock. don’t bother buying sa stall sa festival mall ng cherry mobile..mandaraya ang staffs ng cherry doon..at first sabi nung saleslady 2 bago kadarating lang pero nung bibili na ako nagbulungan sila nung lalake na staff. sabi isa na lang daw bago naman daw un. pero upon checking may ding and stratch na unit..but still pilit pa dn sabi nila bago un. den i checked un sms..may mga message na nung nov 29 pa. den umamin un guy na demo unit un. but i think returned units binebenta nila. sa iba na lang kayo bumili..un staffs sa sm southmall ok kausap. so far happy ako sa superion..pag wala ako sa wifi zone pwede pa dn internet using my globe sim
I finally got a 16GB card from cdrking for my superion.
@rey anong contact no. or website ng celway?
its an understatement saying i charge them every day, when im near an outlet i see to it that its pluggeed in. youre right not to let it dip below 40% coz when it reaches 30% it drains power faster than u could download 100g videos and when the bat turnz red, tagal nya mag fill up.
@rey
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, all the while, its very tempting to take a look underneath the back cover but I don’t have any idea how to open it. lol.
I’d also tried to look if there’s an olive pad/ viewpad 7/ DroidPad/ repair manual but haven’t found any yet. Say, how often do you charge your tab? I don’t allow the battery to be less than 40% so I charged it more frequently.
@cxian
good day sir,fellow SUP user. re support on bat as much as i hate to admit this but as for the moment i doubt that CM has support for bat replacement but who knows, as it appears the back can be easily spliced open and from the weight of our TAB it seems like half of the back contains the battery. i just hope its just a normal ipod battery back there so we can replace them on our own (for the brave souls hehe)or any phone tech in ghills…
hi guys! fellow superion user here. so far im satisfied with the tab but one thing that worries me is the overall battery life. I like to know if cherry is good with support once we need to replace it. though this issue is common for all tabs..
actualy it does takes to long to charge,50-60%down it takes a while 80up its ok. even from the reviews thats one of their findings the slow charging. luckily im always around an outlet(in the ofc)almost all the time:-). batlife is around 6hours heavy internet use.
