This might be a long shot but have you tried restoring factory settings on the device. It may bring your accelerometer back to life.
Also which version of the Skytex ics did you install, was it the beta version in the newer full release they have brought out.
I have seen the Skytex Skypad alpha 2 be called the sumvision cyclone astro.
Let me know if that helps?

Please do more research before making statements as above. The Skytex firmware is NOT designed for the DGM T-702. If you upgrade the T-702's firmware with the Skytex version you may run into difficulty as I did.
Hi All,
I see Digimate (DGM ?) are offering an ICS update for the T-702, but charge
GBP 6.0 for it.
DGM - FAQ & Support
The update seems to be supplied in a somewhat roundabout way.
Has anyone tried this ?. My T-702 had Android 2.3 and was already rooted,
so I'd assume the update is also rooted, which may be worth consideration.

Although my tablet was working fine with the software I found in the end I opted to pay DGM for their ICS update (this angered me because a far as I could see DGM are the only supplier of these type of tablets that charge for an ICS update)
The update comes delivered on a micro SC card. The card is inserted and the tablet turned on and the update begins automatically. The update also installs the DGM branding.
Thanks for that info ... can you say if the new firmware is rooted ?. I agree
charging for an update is unusual, DGM are squeezing their customers.
The fact that it comes on a card is a + , at least you have a permanent
copy.
I noted after the install from your link, that the tab was shown as a T02A,
and followed up with a search for info on T02A, this turned out to be an
Eken model ( see pics here) ...

These show an updated version (1.5GB Processor), but apart from that I'd
say the T-702 comes from this stable.
On Ekens support web site there is a firmware download for the T02A
which turned out to be identical to the one in your link, it's a very slow
download though ... took over an hour.

So there is more info for anyone wanting ICS for the T-702. ... Jack
Most AllWinner A10 tablets come from the factory rooted, they just don't install superuser.
Also most Allwinner A10 tablets do not have a recovery option. They run off Livesuit which uses a bootstrap mode. Some like the Alpha 2 and the T02A use a hardware button or they use this method.
1. Power off the tablet
2. Plug tablet into PC
3. Run Livesuit and pick the image file you wish to use. The program will go to the 0% screen.
4.Hold down the volume down button (-) and continue to hold it.
5. Press the power button for just a second or two. (This can be tricky, too long and the tablet reboots.)
6.Now quickly press and release the power button 3 or 4 times. You will hear two connect sounds and Livesuit should prompt you twice to start the image. You can release the volume down and continue.
Thanks for the info ... The DGM-702 does use Livesuite to install an image,
but I haven't needed to use the power button, if the install doesn't run
first time on the PC, the instructions (Originally from Skypad) just tell you
to do a quick disconnect/reconnect of the USB connector on the tab, that
does the trick, and away the reflash goes. It is already rooted I find.
I have found out the hard way that ROM manager, and hence
Clockworkmod aren't compatible with this tablet.
Just for the record, my tab is running stably with the Eken TO2 firmware
No problems to date. ... Jack
Out of curiosity does anyone find this tablet to run incredibly slowly? I bought this for my partner back in May (Groupon offer) and she's been going her merry way for all this time. I had a go on it the other day and found it to be unbelievably laggy and slow. I have a rooted Desire and even with a Sense 3 ROM running GB it doesn't run this slow.
I'd assumed when I bought it, looking at the specs, it would be very smooth (or at least smooth to some extent!)
She said that this is how it has been running since I bought it for her. She just thought it was normal.
Is it?
It came running ICS. Is the Eken update any good Jack?
Thanks

Hi Viraf,
Originally my Tab ran Android 2.3 (Gingerbread), and I wasn't particularly impressed with it's performance, since installing the Eken version of ICS, it runs much better.
I've tried one or two other versions of ICS previously, and had
problems. Since installing Eken no problems at all it works fine for me.
The Eken version is fully rooted BTW. ... Jack
