[Q] VPAD7 (the G-Tablet's new little brother)

Greetings,
I just received the brand new VPAD7 and I know that the HW Specs are different, I'm curious how much work it would take to port one of these G-Tablet ROMs to the VPad? Viewsonic seems to have locked this down so tight I can't even use better keyboard on it... Not Cool.
Anyway I've never developed a ROM but if someone want's to teach/try, I'll be the guinea pig with mine.

Did VS abandon the TapnTap skin?

We can only hope they did.

Nothing... The VPAD7 uses a ARM ARM11 600 MHz..... unfortunately your severely limited with that Processor/chipset.... All the work in this forum is for Tegra 2 based processors... the VPAD7 is more like the deformed step sister twice removed...
If you can return it would recommend it - you are just about at the tail end of that machine based on the processor/chipset (not even a 1ghz which is need for many games at least) and get a Galaxy Tab if you need 3G or just wait for the new Galaxy Tab.. Its processor is significantly faster..
If you want a Tegra 2 based 7inch with 3G your going to have to wait.. if dont care about 3G then go with the eLocity A7 (tegra 2 based) BUT its not multitouch so no gaming for you...
There are no good options at this point for 7".... I know.. I have been looking and salivating at this point for a good unit that doesn't sacrifice in the major areas.

You bought a turd (sorry, im just saying what everyone is thinking)
600mhz=meh.

I played with it at CES yesterday. Get the Dell instead.

Moved to general

The vpad7 is totally unrelated to the gtablet. It is actually closer to the iPhone 4 than anything else - imagine a 7" iPhone 4 running android and you will get the picture.
It is quite nice to play with - almost unadulterated AOSP 2.2.1, responsive despite the slower processor, similar screen density to the gtablet (with better viewing angles - but not anywhere close to IPS or AMOLED, and limited 800*480 resolution).
Installs and plays AB as a direct download from the Market. (Full Market and Gapps as standard.)
Easy to Root - has been available in Europe since November. (ROMs available at MODACO.)
It IS a phone - full telephone capabilities with gsm and 3G available on AT&T (EDGE on T-Mobile).
All in all, this is a phone with a 7" screen: much more usable than my 4" regular phone, but not an iPad/Gtablet alternative...

I knew what I was getting when I bought it. I'm using it mostly for work and for that it's fabulous. For 3G I just Hot Spot it to my phone when needed. It actually maintains a better signal than my T-Mobile phone, works great as a HANDS Free phone as well. I was really looking for a way to get it onto the 3G Network, currently it will only do Edge. Angry Birds runs fine as long as its the ONLY thing running. But that and Solitaire are the only games I have on it. Continually moving the SIM Card is a pain.

I wonder if the ro fingerprint could be pulled from it to gain a true full market on the Gtab. Also wondering if the Vending/Market APK would provide a market on the Gtab that would display properly (not cutting off the stars)? Any ideas from someone a bit smarter than me in all this or would it not work because of the 600 mhz vs tegra 2 difference?

Go for a refurb Nook Color or Archos.
The tablet you showed has good specs but considering the fact that it's not a common model, you will have trouble finding,
1) rooting procedures.
2) service/repair
3) custom ROMs.
And, the one you showed looks like a Chinese tablet that have crappy hardware and software.

If you took a look at the review they said it was quite neat, and I've only heard good things about it when looking around.
It just worries me a bit, that people says 2.2 is crap and that dual core is worth **** when most things only run one one :/
Nook Color and Archos is e-reader, I don't want that :/
Only 2.3 and 3.0 tablets worth buying?

Nook is fully functional android tablet when rooted... Not just e-reader... And much better than the Chinese tablet you are looking at. A friend at work bought one of those... Very slow and lags like crazy... No good. Hope you find what works for you.

2.3 and 3.0 tablets are somewhat worth buying. Archos is not an eReader. It's a PMP/tablet. Nook Color is an eReader and so has an excellent display. Still, it's full touch and can be rooted and made to function as a real tablet.
I wouldn't really call 2.2 crap. It's good but with a Nook Color, you will be able to update to 2.3.5 using CM7.
It's sad that you are making me repeat myself, a Nook Color comes with an American warranty unlike a Chinese product which has no warranty. Even if they advertise one, you can't be sure that they will honor it 100%.
A review can be biased. On the internet, you can easily write a biased review. Nook Color has a huge modding community and, not everyone is going to be biased.
As for Archos, it's more multimedia oriented and so has a dual cam as well.
I wouldn't call dual core ****. Although not a lot of software can utilize multi-threading, you will see better software soon. It might take some time by when, your tablet would become slow and outdated. Dual core is worth it but it's not a smart choice, right now.

Nook Color does consume more battery but it has reasonable life.
Then again, it all boils down to your own priorities. If you don't mind a sub-standard Chinese product as long as it's cheap and has some cool specs, go ahead. If you want a somewhat quality product which is either little expensive or has lower specs, don't buy the model you showed.

I think I'll buy it next month, just to try out a tablet.
I can always buy something else if I like it

Even laptops are hard to upgrade hardware wise, let alone tablets.
He is talking about software. That thing runs 2.2. Most smartphones listed in have custom ROMs. Most phones that have only 2.1 officially have 2.3 ported unofficial by XDA members. He is asking if you can upgrade that device to 2.3 at least unofficially.

That looks more like a scam. It is impossible to squeeze so much power with such a low price.

What is your primary purpose for this tablet?
I would second the suggestions for Nook&Color.
Also, I hear Amazon's going to launch it's new android based eBook-centric tablet, as "Amazon Kindle" for $250. If you just want to read some ebooks, do a little surfing, and play games like Angry Birds. Then I think this tablet is for you. Keep in mind that this tablet is very ebook-oriented and NOT AT ALL like any other android based tablet. Heck, it doesn't even support some of the google services (Android market). You may want to watch out for that.

Nook Color can be rooted and flashed with CM7 and be turned into a full fledged tablet. I believe there's a honeycomb port as well.

Hey XDA. Im currently sending this off of a crappy ipod touch 4g. So sorry if there is any gramatical or spelling errors. Im going to be selling this on ebay to help fund my tablet because it looks like they can sell for $150 to $200 in the condition mine is currently in.
But anyway, Im looking for a tablet, I dont care about size. Im looking to get one for $200 to $300 new. I was hoping it could have at least a gig of ram, a dual core (if possible), be able to play games well, have a decent sized development community on gere, rootable, and a decent battery life because I will be taking this to school.
I know Im asking for a lot, but rooting and installing roms looks like a lot of fun, and Im not able to buy an android phone because with us cellular they require a data plan, which my dad doesnt need, so he doesnt want to pay for it (which is fair).
Ive also heard of the nvidia tegra 2, just wondering is that a cpu, apu or gpu? I currently own a gtx 460 in my computer, so if I had a nvidia product like that in my tablet, that would be cool.
Alright sorry that ive asked a lot, if this has alreadt been answered please feel free to close this thread and link me to the thread where that answer is.
Thanks!

Good luck finding a TouchPad...
Most of the lesser expensive tablets (I. E. In your price range) are either underpowered or do not have custom ROMs.
If you don't mind a slightly sluggish experience but it runs games well you could get a nook color which has cyanogenmod support. If you want speed and decent power, kindle fire is a good bet. If you want a tablet that's very powerful and has root (you can customise apps and launchers, etc.) nook tablet. Nook tablet does not yet have custom ROMs but it has root and is the cheapest tablet in its class.

Now they can be readily found on eBay, but they are going up in price; the price for one of the 16GB models has risen about $40 in the past week. Upon using the device, three of my friends have bought one for themselves, I really can't recommend the device enough.

I'd suggest looking at the Nook Color or Nook Tablet. They sell new for $200 & $250 respectively. They are a little underpowered compared to some of the newer stuff like a Galaxy Tab 10.1 or something like that, but you can't beat that price. You'd be lacking some things, like a camera and microphone.
CM7 is currently available for the Nook Color and works amazingly well. I'm sure it'll be made available for the Tablet soon enough if it doesn't yet exist. Depending on what you mean to do with the tablet one of these may be more than enough.

Nook Color runs stably at 1.3 ghz under cyanogenmod 7. It feels a little pokey to me and I have one.
Nook tablet is dual core 1.1 OMAP 4 with a gig of ram. It is hardly underpowered as I have one of these as well.
The biggest issue with both nooks is android <3. 0 so it does not have the interface GPU accelerated. Any tablets above gingerbread will seem faster even if they have lower specs. Most of the time the GPU does nothing and the cpu has to process the interface, touch, plus everything else. Touch and interface are offloaded to GPU on honeycomb and higher.
If cyanogenmod 9 come to the Blaze it will be a better tablet than most Honeycomb because it has a faster and better cpu with more ram. Most honeycomb tablets only have 512mb.

I didn't really want the nook color to be honest, and I was thinking about getting the nook tablet, but the only problem is that you can't really install roms on it because of the bootloader being locked or something? (This is what I've heard, I'm an Android noob).

If the boot loader is really locked on newest Nook Tablets, that would eliminate it from my list of possible candidates. Is this true? I was leaning toward the NT because of the card slot, and the possibility of booting from an sd card. (I read that the lock was imposed during an automatic upgrade)

[Q] First tablet... need help to choose cheap one.

Hello, a new guy here, Well I am forced to get an ereader for school coz most books are in digital format only >_> was about to get the 70 bucks Kindle but changed my mind in the last moment. Decided to get myself a cheap tablet, coz I do like to read comic books and already have quite a digital collection of New 52 and some others.
The point I am making is I am looking for a good but not too expansive tablet to read comic books and normal books on, web surfing, no serious gaming, i got my rig for that.
So I did some research and I kinda came down to Kindle Fire, Nook Tablet,Lenovo A1 and Nook Color unless there are any other ones below 200 usd mark.
As I understood Nook Color can be rooted to run 2.3 Android no problem and will be like a proper tablet? But the performance is not the greatest?
Nook Tablet the CM is still in alpha as I saw. Does anyone know when proper root will be out? Or did i get something wrong?
I have no info on Lenovo A1 except it runs 2.3 as well but is it a proper 2.3 or some kind of modified version like on Fire and Color?
Kindle Fire can be rooted but there are bunch of different ones? I saw ICS is in the works for it.
Sorry I am new to the portable computers business, and I really dont understand much on the software part of it especially the ROMs and how to's and such. If someone could point me in the right direction, what is what and such.
I still use my trusty Nokia N97, which i dropped from a motorbike, was kicked around in a rock concert, and thrown around and dropped more then I can count

bump... i just want help to decide which one to buy...

I'm in the same boat. I'm leaning toward getting a Nook Tablet and rooting it to get the market but may not replace the launcher.

I did some reading and saw a lot of benchmarks put the Nook Tablet running better. Maybe its because the16gb version runs with twice the ram?

the 8 gb model has 512 mb of ram and the 16gb model has 1 gb of ram, reading the specs of the nook tablet that it has improved alot from the nook color, it has dual core 1ghz processor and the nook color only has a 800 single core processor. But if I were you i would look into either the kindle fire or the nook tablet. I like my nookcolor but it struggles on ics even overclocked at 1200 mhz. Hope this helps

Well If I am gonna get Nook Tablet I will probably pick up the 16gb version and try to root it.
I ditched the idea of Lenovo A1 as I only heard bad things about it.
Nook color appeals to me because its cheap very tweak-able and modable can run ICS, its weak and slow.
I am not much interested in kindle fire because it does not have card slot and 8gb doesnt seem like much. I got 3tb storage space on my pc and its all filled up so is my 160 gig Ipod Classic.
So what I might as well do is pick up Nook Color and wait until Asus Memo 370T is released!

The Nook Tablet has a Similar Community as us, and a 3.0 Kernel.
I'm wanting the cheapest Tablet possible. I'm a poor college student, and I just want something to play games on. Watch Netflix and Hulu. I do cloud Storage.
So XDA, what do you think? (Also keep the thread clean of stupid remarks)
Added Poll Please Vote

You should space out your post more, it's all bunched together in the comparison section.
Overall though, I would go with the nook tablet. It gives you more staorage with an expandable memory slot. The Fire started the whole cheap tablet craze, but no micro sd slot is a real turn off. Can't always be syncing stuff to and from the cloud.

If you need to buy now, go for the Fire. If you can wait, Google and Asus are working on a Tablet that should launch sometime this summer.

I bought my partner an HTC Flyer 8GB Wi-Fi tablet that we absolutely love. Has 1GB for apps, 8GB built in "sd" storage and slot for additional storage (I put in a Class 10 32GB card but others now report it can accept the new 64GB cards, too). 7" screen, fast CPU, dual-cameras, GPS. It comes with Gingerbread but there is an OTA upgrade to Honeycomb 3.2. I have not done the Honeycomb upgrade because there are pros/cons to doing so. There is also a very active developer community for the Flyer. I bought it for $199.

I know this wasn't one of your options, but you should really consider a touchpad. I got mine recently and love it. Fairly active dev community, good ROM selection, and FAST. Trust me, the dual core and 1 gig of RAM help a lot. One or two minor issues, camera does not work in ICS, and wifi is occasionally flaky, but I hardly notice either of them. You can dual boot into either webos or android, and hp has promised source code this summer so all issues on the android side should be solved then.
Just my .02. But I pretty much guarantee that if you get the touchpad, you will not regret it.

I got my 8GB model at buy.com. I see now they have the 16GB model for $249. Mine arrived in perfect condition, not a scratch and works beautifully.

I jumped the Gun. 32G HP Touchpad, allready on ICS 4.0.4. Everything but the Camera's work, and that's a Kernel Issue. But my Mother is buying a T-Mobile Flyer. She saw it was HTC, and had a pen. Bought a 32G GSM Unlocked Version from Cownow (What ever best buys warehouse store is). Only cost 275. Not bad for her, does everthing she needs.

I may be late to the game, but my girlfriend has a Kindle Fire and I have the Nook Tablet. They're both pretty damn good, but quite frankly the only thing I like more about the Nook is the dedicated home button. It's my favorite part about the thing, because the fact is that they're pretty much the exact same thing. There are some sweet cases for the Kindle Fire. Other than that, if you're going to root them then there is plenty of support for both.

You're neglecting the fact that the NT has a SD slot, allowing for more root options. You can boot CM7 off of the SD card, but it was easier for me to do that through internal memory.

Give the NT another month or so.
