I use a number of different Android devices and have rooted all of them (so far). Taking a chance, I purchased a GoClever R103 Netbook (which runs Android 4.0) from Morgan Computers in the UK at the princely sum of £89.95
The hardware is not stunningly fast (single core 1GHz Cortex A8 with 512MB RAM + 8GB flash built in) but is surprisingly usable. If I could only root it, it would be a stunning little Netbook (I suspect). Nirvana could be if I could run ARM based Ubuntu on it (although rooted Android would still be good) but:
There is no option within 'Settings' to turn on debugging or developer mode
GoClever have not provided any updated ROM images (yet)
Does anybody have any hints as to how I could find any chinks in its armor and root the damned thing?

You can go here! I have managed to root the device and stay tuned because I will launch soon a Debian port from it with debootstrap with working sound and all drivers needed.

7 inch tablet with OS 1.6, 1.3MP camera
other specs: model number: generic
kernal version: 2.629-00236-g4f8dbbb-dirty

I want 2.1 OS. I have modded the Wii and unlocked a few phones so I am literate in this sense.
Willing to start off from scratch and create a custom system for this tablet.
I want to be able to use live wallpaper, use some sms programs, download from youtube, play more advanced games, as well as other things.
I'm listening in on this..really interested too
Herp Derp?
First off, with a device with only 533 mhz of processing power, live wallpapers probably aren't gonna be viable without making it so that your tablet will barely run. The reason why 2.1 isn't available on these generic tablets is the same (or very similar), your tablet just isn't powerful enough. While there is probably a way to put 2.1 on these things, you probably won't enjoy your android experience anymore.
Warning: Fairly long query ahead
Hello, I recently purchased a Banana Pi Dev. Board, which is manufactured by Lemaker/Lenovator. In essence, it is a Raspberry Pi clone but with higher specifications (1GHz Dual Core Processor, 1GB DDR3 RAM, SATA support etc). Every information regarding Allwinner A20 SoC is available at linux-sunxi.org/A20. The Android OS (4.2.2) compiled with Kernel is available at lemaker.org/resources/9-38/image_files.html
What I am trying to achieve is to enable Telephony, SMS, and USSD functionality via 2G/3G USB Dongle (usually based on Qualcomm or MediaTek chip-set). The problem here is that the above mentioned functions are available, after Software installation, on Systems running Windows XP/7/8, MAC OS etc. But for Android, the USB Dongle only connects the System to the Internet and nothing else. No other services are available.
The limited research that I have done tells me that A20 has the capacity for Telephony services as BUILD.PROP has following files in it:
rild.libargs=-d/dev/ttyUSB2
rild.libpath=/system/lib/libsoftwinner-ril.so
I think, theoretically, it is possible to turn this Dev. Board into a Smartphone (of sorts) via USB Dongle, but it requires playing around with Android RIL (Radio Interface Layer), of which I have absolutely zero clue.
Any help that I can get from this forum in this regard would be highly appreciated.
Anxiously waiting for some response.
So I'm trying to get Android running on my Yoga 2 Pro (not the Yoga Tablet Pro 2 or whatever its called)
IM ASSUMING MANY EFI devices are having the same problems as well. Fill free to contribute
I was able to get Android IA dual booting very smooth with windows. However I have a few issues (I'm not a developer, I'm a noob, but probably have enough skills to contribute fruitfully to the conversation)
It works ...ok...As many of you know it doesn't have gapps, and I cannot figure out how to install gapps. it cant be installed like a traditional android device where one can flash it...
As of now, Display support works great. Both touch and hi resolution support
no sound
no bluetooth
accelerometer not working
Many apps don't work on intel ia as well....netflix, watchespn...etc
After fooling around with intel IA, I tried Android x86 instead...heres what I got from it.
Only could boot into Android from the live CD (my case thumb drive) when using VESA mode
graphic is not supported at high resolution (only in VESA mode)
gapps worked well with Android X86
Sound works
bluetooth (not tested)
I could not get Android x86 to install AT ALL...I can't figure out how to boot into android x86 using VESA on grub
So my question is this...How do I begin integrating the two if it is possible (I've read somewhere the kernals are different)..do I need to use Kitchen or can this be done by copying and pasting lib, and apks?.
I need the graphic support of Android IA
Sound support of Android X86
Working Gapps
whatever arm translator that seems to work in Android X86 as apps seem to work a little better
EFI support of Android IA
Any takers?
If anyone needs a tutorial on how to get intel IA working on Yoga 2 pro, I'll post one if needed
Hi,
Would be best to ask about this here,
Chef Central
I'm thinking the windows section would be best, but I'll leave that to you.
Good luck!
I've just recently received my Onda v116w from China, it's another dual boot Windows and Android tablet from them, that has the following specs:
Key features:
1920 x 1080 IPS 11.6" display
Atom z3736F 2.16 Ghz (boost) quadcore CPU
2GB of Ram
It's got a 64GB eMMC drive, mines a Hynix, aprox 170 read and 70 write,
USB 2.0 port, full sized for once.
Keyboard dock (sold separately )
Windows 8.1 Pro
3G sim card support
I'm still waiting on word from sellers when the keyboard dock will be available, so far it seems Onda having released it or there are supply issues.
So far, my first impressions are:
It's a 21:9 screen I think, it more widescreen than I'm use to seeing, so I don't think it's 16:9 good ratio for movies, not the greatest for the web. It's wider than my Surface Pro 3 even, but not as high of course. Nice 2.0 port is a nice addition. The IPS panel on my unit is very bright and with good view angles and colors. It is brighter than most Chinese tabelts I have tested in this price range. It looks similar to a Surface 2 and even more like a Dell Venue 11 Pro.
Windows it ships with is Windows 8.1 Pro, Yes, it's windows pro and not bing. I'm surprised at this move. Thumbs up to Onda for not using the cheap Bing version. There seems to be no dual boot selector on boot or when holding volume up (Unlike the Onda v919) Like other
Onda Android rom's its quite light compared to others, only 3-4 bloat apps. DPI setting could be improved, text in Android looks blurry. And yes, Play Store is working, but you have to reboot after first signing in and then to accept T&C it will then work.
The build quality is plasticy a soft matte plastic on the rear and it's a finger print and smudge nightmare. Like other Onda units it comes with a screen protector already on it the screen. The internal components and build is not bad at all, but there are a few creaks here and there when handling it.
I have managed to hit 74 degrees on the unit according to HWinfo, this a bit warmer than some other Z3637F tablets. Could be down to some Windows maintenance that was running, I will investigate this further.
You can charge it via micro usb (Slower) OR via the DC plug.

I was going to buy a teclast X98 3G, but after seeing that Onda I decided to wait,
i will wait even more to see your comments about battery life, that temperature issue and Gaming!
Thanks for your help man
Battery life is very important for me too. Ill wait your opinion about battery and general use and then ill order.

Hi
Did you try WiDi on this tablet? I try with my LG LM6700 TV but unable to connect.
Because of the Windows 8.1 with Bing and Language problem,I installed windows 8.1pro and removed (deleted)the partitions (including the one with the android)
as it wasn't booting to android after install windows 8.1pro from scratch.
My question:Is there a chance that I can install android with dual boot WITHOUT touching the windows 8.1pro installation?
I don't want to use Bluestacks or android emulator just to have the DualOs but with my windows 8.1pro.
Is there a source for android for x86 Intel Bay trail that could be accessible from the windows 8.1 pro boot configuration,for example?

Hi !
How could You install w 8.1 ?
I tried to change the language, but i could not do that, it fails every time.
I would like to install a new windows, but i can not boot from external usb device.
Can You help me, how install another windows ?
sincerelly
Janos Marczis, Sweden
Hi you have to make an USB key with the tool called rufus. And select from the option to create a gpt partition forma uefi boot. You can boot almost anything from an ISO image. Don't forget to download the driver from onda forum or you will have a big problem without driver. Installing windows you will lose android partition.
Tell me where in the image the radiator? It would be desirable to increase the cooling.
Hi
Is there a way to update/download Windows language pack? I know so far there is no way, but maybe someone has found a way?
I found this link:

But couldn't make it to update
Win Pro?
Who was the vendor?
Thanks
I decided to create a new thread for this, because I have confirmed that I now have my device rooted via KingRoot and have installed BusyBox, so the thread title of my previous thread is no longer relevant to my situation.
Anyway, I have a Chinese netbook thing with a keyboard and touchpad, but no touchscreen, GPS, or SIM card functionality. It was cheap and don't have anything essential on the device, so I'm not afraid to brick it if there's risk involved.
Most guides that explain how to get Linux working on Android devices only explain how to access Linux indirectly via a VNC viewer or terminal running on Android, which is not what I want because I don't have enough RAM to run X on top of Android and a VNC viewer. There's too much overhead. I want Linux running on the bare hardware so that I can compile/run native ARM code and use applications actually designed for a mouse/keyboard rather than a touchscreen.
I'm trying to figure out what that would take. Can my device be booted from an SD card so that I can keep Android and boot into Linux by inserting the SD card? Or do I need to flash the "BIOS" and wipe everything out in order to achieve this? If so, what do I need to flash to get a Debian ARM distribution working on such a device, and how do I do it? Ideally, I'd like to be able to dual boot rather than be limited to one OS, but I'm willing to replace Android if it's required.
I'm not sure if I'm posting in the right place, but the problem is that most of the more specific forums on this site involve knowing the exact brand-name and model of the device, and I only know the Chipset and specs of my system. I can't even post pictures of the device or screenshots of application output because I don't have enough posts yet.
Basically, the core of the system is GA-1311F, WM8880. It has a 13.3" screen, 1GB of RAM, 8GB of Storage, Cortex A9 @ 1.5GHz, and Mali 400MP2 Graphics. It has two USB type-A ports, a Headphone and Microphone port, an SD card slot, an HDMI port, and an Ethernet port that I suspect may be powered by a RealTek 8192 chipset of some kind. There's also Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. When I run a terminal and look around at the configuration, I see the acronym WMT all over the place, but I don't know what it means. It's currently running Android Jelly Bean.
I haven't found a lot of information about my specific device, as there is no manufacturer listed aside from VIA and WonderMedia, although they only make the chipset and not the actual devices.
