Suggestions please: A 7-8 inches tablet with Android

Hello to everyone!
I have an Galaxy Note and I'm in love with it, but after weeks of using it, I understood that I need something bigger.
So... could you recommend me a tablet between 7-8 inches with a dual core CPU.
I want something fast or maybe something that support some unofficial ROMs (to put something fast on it ), just like every Android phone.
I think about Google Tablet, but I don't want to wait.
Any suggestions are welcomed.

It is not dual core but the htc flyer is 7 inch, has pen support like note, has a choice of gb and hc including custom roms such as cm7 and miui, and has ics, beta ports in the works.
Processor is single but set at 1.5ghz with custom kernels enabling up to 2.ghz. 1gb of ram, comes in wifi only and 3g models, and can be found online for ir a steal refurbished.

Just one suggestion? : (((

Acer Iconia A100 (7', 1024x600pix) or A500 (10', WXGA)
Both have the same platform, Nvidia Tegra 2, Dual Core @1Ghz

I heard that the Wifi receiving is extremely bad on the Novo9 due to a manufacture defect or something, is that true for all Novo9 out there?

Yes. There's a long thread about the spark/firewire unit at Slatedroid and very bad wifi reception issues.
Apparently the fix is to open up the back and do a minor tweak to the antenna, which offsets the issue caused by the aluminium chassis.

Any furtur info on best chines tablet?
Im looking to buy something in the 7" family.

My friend have Onda V972 and it is very good. In my opinión, it's the best at moment

I hear good reviews from Hyundai t7s for the price/feature combo....

I got an onda v972 and it need be better on his firmware, very good hardware but very bad firm

Yes, it's a very impressive device: Exynos 4412 powered, 2Gb RAM, IPS 1280x800, Bluetooth, GPS... all for $185, not bad. I dunno about its firmware... I hope a good firmware to match its hardware (anyone knows?).

I use ployer momo tablets. But now they have quadcore ones and im thinking of an update. Try looking for quadcore rockchip3066 tabs which are very fast and responsive.

I've had the T7S for a week now and I am really enjoying it. One thing I have to nit pick about it is the battery life. I have to have my charger with me if I am using it a lot. For the most part is last about 6 hours. I am waiting for jelly bean on it.

how about the Colorfly Q1 U781? The design and look is fantastic!!!!
Hope there would guru here who can work on the software!!!
It will be out soon!!!

i am looking for Android tablet too.My friends suggest me buy a Chinese Brand tablet(Yuandao N90FHDRK ).The 10000mAh Battery Capacity and the Quad Core attracted me.And the Configuration is quite good.(9.7 Inch Android 4.1 Jelly Bean IPS Capacitive Multi-touch Screen 16gb Internet Tablet Quad Core Cortex A9,10000mah Battery Capacity,2048x1536 Resolution,mali-400 Mp GPU Tablet Pc with Rk3066 1.6ghz CPU 2gb Ddr3 RAM Wifi Hdmi with OTG USB Cable)

PIPO M9 or CUBE U30GT2

I bought myself a chinese tablet which is going around under many different names. Freelander PD80 Vogue, Ployer Momo 11 quad, Chinavision Vice, and quite a few other names. Mine is called the Primal P9X.
They are all the same tablet.
Quad core Samsung Exynos 4412 1.4 ghz, 1028 x 720 (or whatever that standard one is), IPS screen, Mali 400 gpu. 2 gb ram, 1 gb internal, 16 gig SD. HDMI out, USB 2.0, extSD.
In short, this thing is a beast and is one of the best purchases ive made in awhile. This post marks the first time on the internet someone is linking all these tablets in one post. I know cause I went on a 24 hour wild goose chase after i accidentlally bootlooped this thing. Primal has no website and thus no firmware, but I was able to find firmware for the PD80 Vogue after i realized it was the same exact tablet. And it worked! also the Framaroot exploits (at least Sam) work on this thing.
I hope to see some development on this/these tablets soon, as they are the best thing coming outta china right now (besides the not-very-good resoltuion). If anyone needs a starting ROM to starting tweaking with, reply here and ill post the link. It was a life saver.

I am not surprised that this is just a re-labled tablet sold under many different brands considering I could not find any information about the manufacturer. I have had my P9x for two weeks now and very happy with the performance and responsiveness of it.
You mentioned finding another rom for it. Was it another ICS rom, or JB? I am interested in going to JB since my Galaxy Note II is already on it.
Anyhow, I found rooting this device to be pretty simple and straightforward. I think there are many options available. I will search for some of these other brands and see what is out there.
These is a thread discussing this on apad forum also so I will watch both of these threads for any updates.

Well it wasn't actually a rom for the primal p9x, it was for one of its clones, the Freelander PD80 Vogue. I bootlooped my p9x after installing something dumb. In an act of desperation I scoured the internet for all its clones and searched for their respective firmwares. The only I ended up findimg was the one I said. So I took the leap of faith and flashed it (put it on sd card, held pwr+vol- at startup) and it worked! Its ICS.
Its nit perfect thougj. The one that shipped with the primal was better. It seemed snappier and didn't have annoying chinese apps. Also the front facing camera seems to not be working. According to apad, a JB fw is coming soon. Eagerly awaiting that.
If you manage to make a dump/nandroid of your stock primal fw I wouldn't mind having a copy

Do any of these tablets have custom roms, or the ability to update to future android releases?
mostly they have no website or future support no?

This is exactly the right question
I have a Cube U9GT2 that I bought a while back. I based that purchasing decision on the community support it had. If you buy a device with kick ass hardware, but no devs behind it then it may end up close to useless. Rather than looking at paper specs check whether there is community support as it is much more critical when dealing with Chinese tablets (no website, no support, etc.). just my 2¢

well since the moto g is out of the picture, i think one of the many BLU phones would be good for you, i have heard good and bad reports about the battery, most of them have 1g or higher gigs of RAM, its seems that lots of their devices (even with small screens) have a great cpu clocked at 1.5ghz dual core or bigger, i think most of their phones are 4.2 and up. lots of choices with 4.5" and up. as for development support, i think they only have root.

Thanks for the recommendation. Though, I have heard of the blu phone series (life, studio, etc.) but there are many negative reviews on them and the ones that are mostly positive are supposedly framed. So, from what I heard was that some of these BLU labelled phones come DOA, other complaints relate to dead pixels, insta-brick (after a week or so of moderate to heavy usage), unresponsive touchscreens, and of course as you stated, battery life.

I was stuck in the exactly same position. But I also needed a removable battery and an external micro SD card slot. So the moto g was not a good candidate. I ended up going with the optimus f7. It has specs similar to gs3. You should check out the reviews and see what you think.

Ahhh yes, I forgot to include external microsd expansion capabilities. Oh yes and thanks, the F7 may not have good dev support but I guess root access is all I need. All I'm really planning to install is Su, viperfx, and some closed modules. Also btw is it possible to skip the boost mobile activation process?

I have the LG L90 which I feel is a midrange device at a decent price. Dev activity for this phone is booming.
I got it from T-Mobile for $55. Battery lasts all day (2540 mAh I believe). IR blaster, 720P recording on rear camera. Only thing is, the screen is about 4.7 inches or so and the resolution is only qHD. However, the screen still looks great.
EDIT: MORE SPECS!!!
Qualcomm MSM8226 Snapdragon 400 chipset, Quad-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU, Adreno 305 GPU, SD card slot, 8GB internal storage, Corning Gorilla Glass 2, Bluetooth 4.0. There are 3 variants: D405, 410, 415. D415 is the variant T-Mobile sells. D405 has slightly better specs with an 8MP and 1080p camera, and FM Radio with RDS. Not sure about D410. Currently there are Lollipop ROMs for D405 and D415, might be one for D410 as well.
