1. No need to format your MMC. Firmware will do it for you. Check FAQ for more details.
2. Place some SIS installers in E:\others\AI\e\ folder. This will Auto copy the files to E:\thinkchange\e\
3. 2 icons (N8 or E7 Mixed) pack can be used. By default E7 mixed icons were used. If you want N8 icons copy the files from attachment and place them in \Rofs2.
