haha I just ran Avatar at 1080p using rockplayer and it played flawlessly. Looked really nice! Took about 4gb of storage though. The stock player did not want to play it though.
I've had this thing for a week (Zpad SMB-1002-3G). I normally find new hardware platforms to be a little average, but I must say, this is working VERY well.
My Quadrant score was 2350 from memory and I don't have problems with Video either. I'd say the reviewer has probably broken something by installing so some (incompatible) apps on there.
Just for everyone else, these are the Apps I run (that work well)
LauncherPro
Touchdown (Exchange)
Pocket Cloud
File Expert
MSN Talk
Clarus Battery
Morelocale 2 (needed for Australia)
Photoshop Express
Everything else is stock (not rooted etc).
I do however have the battery calibration problem. My was 94, then it went to 91, now it's 89% after a full charge. I'd love to fix that, but it's battery performance is still VERY good, so I'm not too worried about the gauge.
Can anyone recommend a good backup program for the Zpad without "rooting" it.
Should I just Root it and run Titanium Backup? Has anyone done this with Zpad?
Cheers, Mal.
Nice case that came with it! They should sell those at Sears for $4.99 instead of the sleeve ;-)
Nobody knows if it supports also HSDPA the 3G module ? I only see WCDMA.
I want that case!

Why is this identical to gtablet?
Yes, the WiFi v1's are the exact same hardware as ours. That's why our firmware is interchangeable.
Hey guys. I'm not sure if you need a 3G ROM. If someone can tell me how I can get it off I'll post it up here for everyone. I assume Clockwork? Can you install that without wiping current data?
PS: It's now rooted with Z4.
Cheers, Mal.
Case
Wow the case looks awesome. I want one too...but can't seem to find any after 30 mins of searching the web.
anyone knows about this site

3g working
I've been looking for about a week now and can't find anyone that has 3g working with the zpad. I'm running on Vegan-Tab but would be happy to change if I could get the 3g working. Anybody got any ideas?
I have 3G, it works perfectly! Malata SMB-1002-3G (unless it only works on a select band, eg 2100 for Australia)????
ROM
What ROM are you using?
It's the stock ROM. I'm not sure how I can get the version number. I'm just about to do a factory reset and install clockwork (fingers crossed I don't break anything). I'm happy to upload it somewhere for you.

I just got mine today and I have been looking at the threads but cannot make odds as to what to do to get TnT Lite on this for example. I have a rooted Evo so I'm used to this stuff. Is this correct?
1. Side-load root program from market?
2. Install clockwork recovery?
3. Flash TnT Lite
Thats it?
Thanks!
Root comes with the custom Rom, so you can skip step 1. Just load Clockwork .8 with the instructions in the post. Then on to TnT Lite.
Make sure everything works first, wifi, sound, screen, etc you might have to swap it out for one that's not messed up to start out with, mine was (no wifi range).

I played with it for about 10mins earlier before putting it on the charger. All seemed good, except the browser crashed within the 2nd site. lol..
I'm not sure if I am keeping it though. There are no to demo, and none with the ROMS in the store of course, so... 30 day return policy, I'm a fan.
How else do they expect people to try tablets? They are a "brand new thing" (well, a year or so old...)
Check the FAQ in the top of this forum category.
Also, tegratab.com wiki.
I would first install clockworks mod. 08 and then make a back up of in case you want to reload the original Roman image. The tnt lite 2.2.0 is good. Also,don't forget to install adobe flash too.
An reading up on what apps that work and the ones that don't....
Alright, I bought my Motorola Xoom from Futurshop here in Ottawa (Canada) quite awhile ago. Still running the original 3.0.1 firmware. A couple months ago I believe many sites said they were pushing out the new updates to us, including SDCard support.
Nothing came to me, oh and now there is 3.2 that got pushed out. Still nothing. Quite a stupid company.
Anyways, I am tired of hating my XOOM.
Looking for the quickest and easiest tutorial on how to get my Canadian 3.0.1 XOOM up to 3.2.
Also, wondering if there is a list of Honeycomb apps, best things we can do with honeycomb/rooting/modding yet....anything else I should know.
Thanks. And yes I searched the forums. Not always easy to find exactly what you are looking for.
What Xooms do you Canadians get?? On the box it says " Xoom (MZ6**)"
Mine for example is a MZ601...
I wonder as it could be a Generic Northern US version, or a EURO....and the Model number also helps us identify whether it is a WiFi only or 3G/UMTS...
Oh right sorry forgot about that.
It's the WiFi only version, MZ604
Well I do KNOW that you can use the ROM from THIS THREAD but you will need to root first and the MZ604 WiFi Only does have a canadian specific version BUT I am unsure as to how you would root.
From memory, the WiFi only Xooms are ALL Identical in terms of Hardware, it is just those Xooms with 3G/UMTS capabilities that have hardware differences. I am going to go out on a limb and say you can follow ANY of the WiFi only guides....BUT BEFORE YOU DO...someone else may have to confirm that for me
Still have not found a good tutorial for 3.0.1 to 3.1.
Everything seems to be 3.1 to 3.2 or something else.
Help. Thanks.

I think only the US WiFi and 3G/4G versions have the 3.2 update. Just a guess.
My Xoom (i think the build/model number is HTJ85B? I am not really sure cause i can't find any info to where to look... but anywho) I had bought my Xoom Wi-fi only tablet from Amazon.com and updated it to 3.2. I rooted it using this tutorial -- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1170760 -- And I got Super User without flashing new ROMs and kernels. It took me a few days (due to insomnia not allowing me to read the directions correctly so I became easily frustrated) but after i figured out the wrong line of code (Went into adb shell and then did adb devices, not the other way around was my mistake) everything was straight forward. Follow every line to a T and you should be able to get root and flash it in theory...
To ask, have you tried to go to "About Tablet" and clicking "System Updates"? I had to do it the first time to get my update pushed through on Wi-FI to 3.2.
~~Also to add since I forgot to... ~~
Apps I use are

Yes, I have a Canadian MZ604 and you can follow the wifi guides, they root the same
Unlock, root and push CWM 3.2
With that you can install hammerhead rom and tachi kernel
Quick Question:
The Xoom with the WiFi/3G......can i use that for WiFi only and NOT have it turned on with a carrier????
I know they have a Xoom WiFi only...but i might be getting this Xoom tomorrow from a guy..his is 3G/WiFi...so i wanted to be 100% sure before i get it. I only want it for WiFi.
Also..i may be behind in asking this..but is the microSD active and working now in the Xoom? Heard it wasnt before.
AND..for example...the G tablet has 2Gb of internal space..PLUS a internal 16GB SD card...does the Xoom have 2 like that also?
Edit: If it has Android 3.0 on it when i get it...if i hook it to WiFi.....will it update automatically to the latest 3.2.1?
Yes you can have a Xoom 3G and only use WiFi. I did the same thing for months. The Xoom has 32GB internal (internal SD that is) but you can add another SD card in the slot and get up to 64GB. Yes the Xoom will update over the air on WiFi and allow you to use the SD card. If you plan to root the device there are obviously plenty of other features you can activate on this device. Use the forum search to clear up any other concern you may have. Good luck!

You answered it all dude. Thanks alot. Even tho a friend just got back to me by email at 5am lol. Told me the latest update activated the SD slot right???
I thought it may have 2 like the GTab. But 32 is more then good. Plus the ability to add more from the SD Slot.
I doubt ill ROOT. Some people are never satisfied lol. I can understand if the Xoom shipped like the GTab did..which sucked. It would NEED to be ROOTED then. But i doubt it runs so slow and everything is SOOO terrible that it NEEDS ROOT. My GTab is ROOTED..should be good enough for me. Thanks again.
Edit: Just to be asking...how much is the plan per month for this on 3G? And what can you do from it...TEXT?
When I finally started using the Verizon plan it was only to make sure I was in their system to get the 4G upgrade but I then learned that you could get the upgrade even without having their service. I chose the lowest plan available for the Xoom which is 2GB a month at $30. It's just a data plan to access the web and such. I use it WiFi mostly and sometimes tether to my Sprint phone. In cases when I don't have time to tether, the 3G/4G capabilities of the Xoom come in handy and Verizon 4G LTE is worlds faster than anything else. Yes there is a way to use SMS on the Xoom but if you have Google Voice you don't really need that because you can respond to text right through the Google Voice app which uses the normal data plan or over WiFi.
The best part of rooting for me so far has been the ability to back up all apps and the app data with Titanium back up. I remember having the game Asphalt 6 and finishing the whole thing then did a factory reset for some other reason I cant remember and lost the whole thing. I got the game back but had to start from scratch. Titanium would have prevented that disappointment. Also you can overclock which I have had great results with. You can change the screen density for the appearance of higher resolution and much more. If you don't need it then don't do it but I can't say anything bad about rooting.
I agree with you. For the GTab..it HAD to be ROOTED. Came with the worst stock software on it. Not even the real Market and such. The backup thing with Titanium IS nice. I doubt i will NEED a plan. Thanks for that info.
The overclock thing is maybe the only thing i would want in terms of it being ROOTED. I think its a nice Tablet left like it is. Not that im saying ROOT cant make it better. Just that some Tablets HAS TO be ROOTED because it sucks so much. I doubt with all the reviews im seen the Xoom is like that. Wish you could overclock without having to ROOT. Now THAT would be kool would it?

The Xoom will likely get the Ice Cream Sandwich update pretty soon. Who knows what functionality that could bring. If you're getting a good deal, you can't go wrong.

WOW. I really hope my deal comes thru. I know i will love my Xoom. I dont think it will NEED to be ROOTED for me. Even tho i just read that if you open too many apps at once...it lags really bad. Hmm. You guys experience that???
Still...i hope my deal comes thru.

It depends on what you consider too many but there are apps like Advanced Task killer that manage those types of things pretty well. I never really had issues with lag.

Yea..it was a review from some company i just read. I doubt it will lag like i think it will. My GTab never really lags at all. I just want to get this soon. I was planning on saving up to maybe get it in Feb...or unless money comes up before that. But someone wants to trade me a very nice Xoom for some gadgets i have. I pray this falls thru.
Edit: I may be wrong but..theres something i notice about the pics of the Xoom. Theres no Home...back..Menu button on the outside of the Tablet like most Tablets? All is onscreen? If so...ain't that kinda bad???? Theres been many times on my GTab i needed to click the back button from the Tabelt instead of the on screen back button. Unless i need to see a closer pic of the Xoom..i hope im wrong.
The Xoom has volume buttons on the side and a power button on the back. Everything else is on screen and that's not bad from what I see.

Yea....but wow..i doubt i ever saw a Tablet without the Home or Back buttons outside of the screen. I havent heard anything bad about that either. But it makes me think it'll be needed for something.
Like example...on my GTab one time..i did something...dont know what i did...but my onscreen Home and Back buttons were gone. Think i made it into a Full Screen. But i needed to click the Back button that was on the Tablet...then Home button and fiddle with it..an then i got it to come back. Its like on phones..when ur touch screen breaks..you use the scroll ball.

Is there any hope for rooting the Nextbook Premium 9?
I have a new Nextbook Premium 9, and it has been limited very tightly by Efun, and I cannot find where anyone that has posted on the Internet has managed to root it. The problem is the tight memory limitations (kills me having that much free space on the device and no access to it).
I have done all that I know to do: add a 32gb micro-sdcard, and used ADB to install some stubborn apks, and set the preferred target of installations and data to the sdcard. I moved everything over that can be moved (it has Android 2.3.1). I cannot fit the apps that I really need all at the same time. I can uninstall and reinstall from the backups on the card... a pain, and it limits its usefulness.
Not having Market is a pain, but I can live with that with help from Amazon and others. But it doesn't do me a lot of good as tightly locked down as it is. I have an Onda VX610W coming (if DHL ever decides to move it out of Hong Kong to me) with ICS already installed, but its too small for what I am using the NextbookP9 to do. I need the Nextbook for my presentations. It has the larger screen, and I just need it.
Please, is there anyone who can help me or who can point me in the right direction. I need help with this one. Thanks in advance.

Simular situation. A friend tried to root his with the 8p's root. While it worked the touchscreen doesnt work.
So how do I go about figuring out what driver I should compile and throw in the image?
I am still looking for a way to root the Nextbook Premium 9
The Nextbook Premium series are rebranded Kohotech Tablets, and I think I am about to dive into the nightmare of trying to get technical support from a Chinese company. Efun is 'less than' helpful, and the response I got to the request for help left me gritting my teeth. They are selling the new 10 inch Kohotech that carries Android 4 ICS. This is done before they fulfill their promise to upgrade the other Premiums to ICS. That would help, but not solve the memory problems.
I bought the Onda VX610W I mentioned, and even though the Nextbook has a superior resolution than the Onda and a camera, the Onda flies circles around it in performance. It came pre-rooted from the company I bought it from.
The Onda has ICS and the Nextbook Gingerbread, and the processor of the Onda is an Allwinner A10 (faster than I expected). The Onda came with 8gb internal memory (I have a 32gb micro-sdcard due here tomorrow), and the Nextbook came with 4gb and has an external 32gb sdcard. But the majority of the Nextbook's internal memory is untouched, with no way to move anything over to ROM without rooting. When you see the performance side by side, the difference kind of hurts when you consider what is in the Nextbook.
I think though, most of the operational difference has to do with the fact that the Nextbook is so walled up that it is difficult to access its memory and other parts of its hardware (having difficulties using its magnetometer). It just doesn't have enough memory to function well, and most of it just sits there idle.
I have a 32gb micro-sdcard in it, and have used the Android Debugger to have it default to moving a lot of the apps to the sdcard instead of internal memory when installed. It helps, but it is continually slowing or locking on operations that should not bottleneck it (doesn't matter if they are in internal memory or the external sdcard). I have to push the reset at least twice per day. What I am doing on it should give it no great grief, but it does. The Onda makes the problems with the Nextbook all the more obvious. The problem is that the screen on the Onda is going to finish making me blind I think. I need the Nextbook. I don't really want to have to consider this a wasted tablet.
I understand from other discussions that the Premium 9 is very brick-resistant. Its a good thing, because I am ready to experiment. If I just want to watch a movie, its okay... but if I try to really use it, it works about 1/4 of the time. It has good hardware, but it is just so walled up. Nooks are apparently easier to root than these.
If anyone can help, I would really, really appreciate it.

I have a rooted android running on the 9P ... just need touchscreen drivers for it
When you get it running... touchscreen and all, then please contact me again. I need the help. I have run into a glitch on the Onda and it is consuming my time right now... trying to avoid reflashing it, but it seems the best option. I can't keep my little hands off of things when they are working just fine it seems... always trying to find out what can work better. Its a life-long trend, and at this point it seems kind of useless to try and stop.
Anyway, whenever I find out why I have wifi connectivity and no network interface on the Onda, I am going to switch my focus back to the Nextbook. It is actually running better than it has run before because I unloaded a lot of nice apps to give it more breathing room. But it kind of sacrificed the purpose to which I got it. There is no balanced compromise with that one... I have to root it when it is possible, to free up memory and maybe to upgrade past Gingerbread. They are offering the new 10 inch tablet with ICS installed right now. I checked with Kohotech, and there is almost no difference in the Nextbook 9 and 10... even more alike than the 8 and 9, but ICS changes it a lot.
I have a device running 2.1, 2.3 and 4.0, and let me tell you... despite the obvious similarities of them all being Android, the 4.0 does some neat things the others just can't, and it is smoother.
Got to start with rooting the thing, though.
If you get the screen working, then I would like to hear more about it... thanks.
UPDATE: For some reason, the permissions on this page suddenly would not let me post a reply, which I really need to do. Finless on Freaktab.com has produced a working custom rooted rom for the NEXTBOOK PREMIUM 9. He also included the original stock rom in case of emergencies. I have not tried it, but according to others, it works. I just finished downloading the files and will try it tomorrow after a nap.
I request permission to post a new reply in this thread. If you will let me, I will post a link to the thread found on Freaktabs that has the solution. I will first try out the ROM myself though. I was about to sell this thing to a friend in frustration.
It has such a beautiful display, I think I'll keep it with the 1gb USER APP space and access to Google Play that he gave it. He said he could do more, but 1 gb will make the thing workable... especially since he got rid of the bloatware bogging it down. But there is hope for the Premium9 users now. I sent tech support at Nextbook an inquiry about upgrades to ICS as there was some real indication of an upgrade. They said no plans were in the works for upgrading the very bogged down unrooted Gingerbread ROM it comes with. GET THIS: they suggested that I buy one of their "new" series of tablets (like... 5 months after the Premiums hit the market) instead. Hey, just forget the $200 or so dollar investment and buy a newer one with ICS from us... also unrooted. No thank you. I have an Archos on the way and own an Onda. I don't think I want another unrooted bogged down tablet from Nextbook after just getting this one. Except for having 4gb instead of 8gb memory, the hardware in the thing is pretty sound. But it was the locked down rom that made it a misery to use. If it works out, I will post the results.

Any news regarding this Nextbook Premium 9 root + market? I will receive one this week but... it seems that I will regret having it...
It would be awsome if some dev put his hands on one...
I also own a Next9P and also would like option of rooting this device... Are there any devs. mildly interested in working on this... I have some limited funds if it would help.
Sent from my NXM908HC using xda premium
Me too please....
Just tring to keep this topic alive as I would like to see developement on this platform myself. I got my hands one one of these lately.
I have managed to get a rom dump of the Nextbook Next9 NXM908HC
The romdump (done through adb) reported successful dump all exept config.gz where I wound up with 0 bytes. I read over there that the custom rom for the Next8p runs on the 9p but drivers are wrong for the digitizer on the 9p.
Here is a link for the dump on the Next9 NXM908HC if there are any takers for making a custom rom out of it.

thanks for the dump. I will see what I can do over the next week.
If someone knows how to root...
If someone knew how to root this tablet maybe I could get a dump with the config.gz intact.
For those looking for rooted nextbook9
Head on over to freaktab.com. A fella that goes by Finless (administrator) AKA Bob has done us all a great service by putting together a rooted, debloated nextbook9 ROM.
I have tested it on my nextbook9 and found that it works.
BTW: When he says debloated he means it. This is positively the most stripped down ROM I have ever seen and I've been flashing custom builds since the windows mobile6 days.
If you found this information useful, don't forget to click the thanks button.

Inside the custom rom found on that page at freaktab.com look for app injector. This takes care of the too stripped down to be usefull. With that you can add the market (Play Store) gapps and the other apps that come with the stock rom.

I tried the ROM from Freaktab and it worked great. My 9P is rooted, I have the full android market. The ROM utilizes more memory, boots faster, and seems to run apps faster. What more can you ask for?!
So go to the link posted by Brinkley... Oh and BTW, thanks Brinkley, I followed the link from your post and that is why my P9 is now rooted.
Cheers, TooSlow
the freaktab rom is ginger not ics is there a root/debloat rom for ics ?
I have the Nextbook P10SE. I just flashed a few different ROMS for it, including a JB rom. only problem is, inverted screen and touch.
which of course renders it useless. Finless rom has the touch correct, but the image is rotated 180 degrees.
the JB rom found here on XDA (look for Rockchip ROM) has the screen oriented correctly but the touch is rotated 180 degrees
sigh.
try kingo root, that software does root almost every device that i know of. i have been there with a device that is unknown or limited and you cant find any thing at all, thats why i start to build my own stuff. Try kingo root that would be first step and then cwm .
Just thought some of my fellow xda mates might like to see this.

Ill pass.. Ill keep my Gtab
The specs do not impress.
Watching him futz his way though the test was interesting. That device was lagging all over the place.
I might get one to feed to my Nook Tablet though.
I've just traded my 7" Galaxy Tab for a 10" one. Think I'll stick with that
Envizen Digital, 7"
Hi Friends,
I Have one of these Tablets running ICS.
What i would prefer to have is 2.3 -- does anybody have any recommendations on how I to do this?? If there's any how-to guides please let me know.
What i would like to do is extract the factory image and archive then download the 2.3 rom to install. I will need to know where to download the 2.3 and the
required tools. Please... anything... there's not much info on this anywhere.
Thanks!

New Android 4.0.3 tablet. What's the performance?
but ther's too bugs. Galaxy fit 5670
the performance looks great .
Not great, you certainly get what you pay for ($129 @ NCIX when I grabbed it). The market is also locked down to somewhere not NA, so app availability is limited, moreso considering it posts as a "Unknown v700b".
It works well as a media station, 1080p content lagginess over HDMI is barely discernible. So I won't be using it to play any games, but it works alright for media/web access. ConnectBot doesn't exactly require much though, so YMMV.
The USB host is handy, MicroSD support up to 32G should be standard on all tablets IMO, lack of real camera isn't really that annoying for my usage.
Resolution is 800x480, so there's some interesting skewing when it's rotated in portrait mode, but nothing major.
Biggest issue I've seen thus far is an apparent lack of community support, but for a sub-par tablet from a company I haven't heard much of, that's not surprising.
I've tried a few of the RK29 root procedures out there, though without the firmware image it's proving more than a little difficult. I posted a thread on the Mediasonic (NA distributor?) forum about the availability of the ROM, and have followed up with an email to Envizen themselves without a response as of yet.
I'll post more info if I receive it, but would love to know if someone else has successfully rooted this little machine. Would be great to get the Synergy port working on it, not to mention all the other fun root-required apps.

I have one, it lives in the underwear drawer. The 1 good thing is it comes rooted, stock. They have a website and suport, if you can call it that
. Glad I only paid $99. for it.

Could you please elaborate? This Envizen is my first Android anything but I've tried to run root-required applications and I get a not rooted error. And I read the very little there is in the three threads mentioning rooting, in which two try to expain with one more a rant against anyone not using a unix based home computer than doing any explaining and the other being less than informative -to me, at least. I did try to follow and perform what I could decipher but I use XP and Win7, not any version if unix (and I haven't worked with a unix based computer in years so am not even that familiar with commands any longer) and I was not successful in obtaining root. I installed the necessary command application to run root commands but again the error was I did not have root access/authority.
If you would, could you please explain as if I'd never heard of Unix, newbie level? More persons than myself would be very appreciative. Thanks in advance. -Michael
