Jordan, You can try the ROMs of this forum : http://techknow.freeforums.org/uberoid-wm8650-1-3-0-hybrid-honeycombmod-v6-final-t801.html An in the root of the forum, you can find many "ePads" : http://techknow.freeforums.org/index.php
About the source of the kernel, that you will need to compile modules and some programs, I don't know where can you find for your tablet. But for the WM8650 (a very common tablet) you can find in GPL devices here: http://ftp.gpl-devices.org/pub/vendors/Wondermedia/WM8650/ About the compiler, it's a big mistery. For some tablets a toolchain with gcc works great. For others, NDK. And for others, a tweak is mandatory after compile the project. So... you'll need to google more my friend. Some linux commands/utilities that will help you to discovery if your binary have a successful build: realelf, file, strace, gdb, NDK, arm-linux-none-eabi-gcc. I hope I gave you some light about it.
