Long story short.
A whole bunch of people have bought cheap noname tablets from ebay sellers, expecting to get wm8650 based devices they have received imapx210 based devices in the same shell.
Hardcorehacker of uberoid fame is currently trying to help solve the issues with these noname tablets but currently has hit a couple of roadblocks.
Firstly being noname chinese tablets they seem to have a variety of model names and seem to be based on the hardware of the eken m009f but not 100%
I myself have 2 that seem to show model no. as m799ca v2.0 and the other is m799ca v2.2. Another that seems the same (according to others) is m7206 v1.2.
The second immediate roadblock is hardcorehacker still hasnt found the right way to decode the .img files in the firmware so we can go about fixing the actual issues the tablets themselves have.
If any of you know how to help hardcordhacker in any way, even if its just to show him the correct way to decompress the .img files then myself and a whole bunch of new noname chinese tablet owners would be very very grateful.
To see the progress so far check out http://www.techknow.t0xic.nl/forum/index.php?board=51.0 and if able to help AT ALL then that would be fantastic
A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all

Since xda is a development community many of the tweaks/hacks have been applied successfully to the InfoTMIC based tablets such as the Flytouch/Superpad with some customization. Little effort has been put forth in support of the 7" InfoTMIC based tablet thus far but the same tweaks/hacks for the 10" tablets work well.
Some of the resources you seek are already posted here and on other support forums.

Tablets are here to stay.
2011 is going to show an incredible amount of enticing Android tablets hitting the market.
We all know by now that the success of a device strongly depends on its popularity amongst the Android developers community.
N.B. One of the reason I like my HTC Desire so much is that so many devs own one. Therefore, one can rest assured it will sustain ROM developments and upgrades much longer and much more frequently than other models, thus keeping my mobile up to date much longer.
Back to the topic of upcoming tablets:
At the moment I believe the most promising high-end tablets are:
- Notion Ink Adam (ok, it is about to be launched, but on paper it is impressive)
- Archos 10.1 (high spec, light weight)
- Archos 70 (huge storage space, very portable)
- Galaxy Tab (already hugely popular)
- Other?
I myself am strongly considering buying the Notion Ink, but would be hesitant to do that if I couldn't count on substantial XDA support.
So my question is this:
- Which tablets do devs intend to purchase/support?
I would appreciate if only devs would enter the poll.
No need to contaminate the results with enthusiastic future customers/users who still have to ask what a ROM is.
Thanks in advance.
P.S. I have never set up a poll before so bare with me if it doesn't work right away in this OP.
P.P.S. Feel free to reply with other high-end tabs if you feel they should've been in the poll. In case of overwhelming enthusiasm for certain devices we could always address the omission in the sticky below.
Which Android tablets can count on XDA developers support?
This space is reserved for possible conclusions/ comments.
Ok.
Just 2 votes and no comments.
Looks like no one has made their minds up re which tablet they're going for.
BTW Orb3000, which tablet were you thinking of?
Look at the Viewsonic G Tablet. Other than no source it's really good.
I am thinking on this one, not so new but I prefer that OS for a tablet

Archos does make some nice looking kit.
5hrs battery life seems a bit low for a tablet don't you think?
Btw Orb, wouldn't mind adding the Viewsonic to the poll.
Archos 9 unfortunately is not Android, so cannot add that.
Do you know if it's possible to change an existing poll or do you need to issue a whole new one?

Hello there,
I am a user of another Harmony tablet, the Advent Vega. As I suspected, ViewSonic has adopted the same stance as other Harmony tablet sellers: simce nVidia has no longer the initiative of providing new drivers, all development for our purchased tabs comes to a halt. The small vendors (Advent, POV, ViewSonic) have no own means of providing further ROMs and support, while the bigger brands (Toshiba) which could actually do something of the sort, are already bringing new tablets to the market and forsaking the old models.
Nevertheless, I know, as you all do, that the Harmony tablets CAN run Honeycomb. They have good enough specs to run it, and the main reason why they don't do it now is because of absurd market cycles.
Therefore, my idea is to have all Harmony chipset users unite for a big bounty seeking a team of developers who can create drivers for nvidia Harmony devices on Honeycomb. As it is a cross-device matter, we could even call attention to this iasue and publish this bounty on the XDA homepage. We know already that no commercial house will bring about any new ROM with said drivers. And I think I'm not alone if I say that I don't want my device to be forsaken after just 7 months in the market.
I think we need something like this if we don't want our tabs to turn into obsolete junk, which is what the big companies would like to make us think they are. The XDA community has injected a new breath of life into many devices long forgotten by their makers. I hope this macro-bounty idea can do the same for ours.
What are your thoughts on this?
this is the website of ainol. their device is good, it is cheap but the spec of them is very good. they produce the first tablet with android 4.0 on the world.
I would like an Ainol section also.
As far as I know, Ainol products are as good as well known brands more "westernized" (well known outside of China).
Thanks

Hey All:
Is there a general forum or place where people provide recommendations across brands and models?
I'm trying to get a recommendation for a 10" Tablet. It has to be Android, and I need good USB-OTG support. My preference is something with Cyanogenmod (or other custom rom) support so that it will last more than a couple of Android revisions. I'm not hugely price sensitive but want to get good bang for my buck as well.
I'm somewhat bitter about my Sony Tablet S, which was dropped like a hot potato by Sony in the VAIO selloff and has since received absolutely no support (and very limited development, not for lack of trying by very capable developers). So longevity is going to be a key for me in this purchase.
Thanks for any help!

Hey there.
You would like to post your query here in this thread in order to have the best response.
Also take a look here and here too.
cheers.
Thanks. I posted in the first thread. I was trying to stay out of the Model vs. Model threads to stay in general topics as well as to not hijack (just in case someone recommends the Transformer, for example)
Hello there and welcome to my very first post in this Forum.
First of all I would like to thank so many Devs and Hackers here to do so much work and spending time in the ROMs or the hacks for some stuff.
Without the help of this forum I wouldn't have rootet and changed firmware on so many different devices.
Up to now I did not have a reason to register or post in here but now I have been put on a task by my father
Yes as it is always you have an IT guy in family he/she is responsible for anything from programming TV to hacking mothers Tablet XD
enough blah blah here's the task:
My father bought himself a Tablet and as it always is he did not ask me he just bought the cheapest one available a
"Hannspree HannSpad HSG1297"
In the first months it was ok than he found some things are not working without beeing able to store and run apps from the SDCard because that device
has as always with this devices a extremely tiny internal storage.
Despite my suggestions he made the next mistake he bought another Tablet.
Again a cheap one but now with the newer Android 7 the only thing he listened to me... *sadface*
This time it was an "Odys Xelio HD 10 LTE"
And here is the connection we both investigated these both devices and finally come to the conclusion they are both the same Tablet Barebone I would say just different
producers name and modell name.
The Hanns is only available with Android 4.4.x
The Odys is available with Android 7
The question is if our conclusion is right would it be possible to put the Android 7 from Odys to the HannsPad?
What would be required to do this?
I would appreciate any suggestions or tipps.
Sorry for Bumping this up but at least yes or no would be enough for me
