So i have an Evo Litepad 8 as seen here
http://www.unbox.ph/gadget/evo-litepad-8-unboxing-quad-core-aluminum-tablet-for-php5999/
I believe its similar to an "Onda" tablet. Its stuck on 4.2 and runs bad
Can i use cyanogenmod on it? How do i find out exactly what type of rebranded tablet it is? I think its probably onda but i am not sure
hi!
i have the same tablet and so far it's ok and seems to work well.
I wouldn't recommend using any other firmware on it. vanilla android is still the best when it comes to our tablets.
this isn't the same as the onda tablets. it just has the same specs. there are number of factors that make it different from other brands even if they have the same specs.

At first I was in love with the iPad but now I've began thinking to go a much different route for a tablet..
after searching for android tablets I ran across two that caught my eye, one on ebay the sungworld 7in tablet and the Haleron iLet mini...
both feature similar hardware specs (same screen size, resolution, CPU speed, memory, price,etc). the main difference from what I can tell (aside from aesthetics) is the sungworld model looks like its running standard android 1.6 with gapps, whereas the ilet is running android with some UI.
does anyone have any input on how customizable these devices are? any chance of custom roms or app2sd or at least gapps on the iLet..would porting a version of 2.1 be considered impossible or at least not probable?
I love the idea of a cheap android tablet and would appreciate any input on this!
thanks in advance..

Have you looked at the enTourage eDGe?
I just saw your post on the other tablet thread..I'm not really a fan of the design, its very strange. Plus i already have a netbook, so I'm in the market for a tablet now..
Check out enso-now.com for the zenPad..its a pretty cool 5'' android tablet starting at $155!
So for a bit I've been looking into tablets, and the G Tablet seems like its the right one for me (great hardware, already a great amount of work from the Devs here on the system) so I think I'll be picking one up after the holidays.
My question though: I remember reading a week or two ago (when doing my initial research) reading somewhere that the G Tablet could run Windows 7 in the future. Is this true? I originally strayed away from Win 7 tablets because I know how much of a hassle they can be, and after putting Android onto my HTC Vogue I went towards a droid tablet. But I also realised that if I could get a Win 7 boot on the tablet also (like one of the other tablets out there with a dual boot) then that would be great to possibly run some of my graphic programs.
So, does anyone think/know if setting up a dual boot on the G Tablet is possible? Has anyone started thinking about developement on it already?
Thanks in advance! Looking forward to getting this tablet and getting it setup, and just wanting to get to know a little more about its future too.
Viewsonic is suppose to be coming out with a DIFFERENT tablet that can dual boot, but not the Gtab..
The Viewpad 10 is what they were coming out with. Don't know if it still is. The big issue for me is there is only Android 1.6 right now for the X86 cpu's. You also have to deal with fans, and the extra weight. I wanted a Windows 7 tablet but not so much anymore.

Yeah I know about that one, but strayed away from that because it was pretty much unavailable and more pricey (if memory serves).
I swear I remember reading it somewhere that the G Tablet would be capable of running Windows 7 in the near(ish) future, and I'm just trying to figure out if that is true or not.
Only if Microsoft rewrites Win 7 for the ARM processor and reduces the Bloat.
:-D I am sure at some point with all these Tegra 2 tablets someone will port Ubuntu onto the G-tab! This would be amazing considering all the tablet support that they have built into the recent netbook remix.

Now this interface on the g-tablet would be amazing!

Wow.... Just watched the video....Amazing lol... Can't believe I didn't think of unbuntu on the Gtab, that would be friggin awesome!
Win 7 running on a 1GHz CPU w/ 512Mb of RAM...ewww

Once we have kernel source, we'll be able to do it....
Ubuntu is a definite possibility since it runs on ARM and the Android kernel itself is Linux based. But, just like any kernel change, the devs would need the source so that's the biggest obstacle.
anyone got instructions on how to achieve this?
'Chinese tablet' ? It might have paid to have bought a branded product~
Try different combinations of all the hardware buttons on the front/side of the device.

I wanted a device that gives me about 9000 antutu score (which this one does) and a device I don't have to worry about if i drop it, it is a decent tablet and is much more powerful than the motorola xoom,
I will be getting the transformer infinity next month but a tablet I can take about with me without worrying about if I drop/scratch it
try going to tabletrepublic.com, they specialize in chinese branded android tablets.
Hey. Ive done a few mods and upgrades already, but one thing has always stumped me about android os and apps. Can anyone explain the variations between the different roms? I understand that the scale and power difference between say a phone and a tablet cause there to be differences, but why is there such gulfs separating to almost identical devices? Take, as a possibly poor example, a yarvik 10.1" tablet and an almost identical viewsonic 10.1" tab. what would stop the viewsonic roms from working on the yarvik? Apologies if this has already been answered somewhere else, I haven't managed to find a similar thread to answer this for me.
Thanks

The main reason the ROMs aren't able to be used on both devices is because they have a different chipset and hardware. And ROMs are designed to work with the specific hardware of a specific device. The only way to get them to work on other devices is to port the ROM you want to that device (Porting ROMs ranges from pretty straightforward to extremely hard).

I'd like to buy a new phone and/or tablet, I don't mind if no-name Chinese, but it has to be
powerful with up-to-date hardware
low-budget (I mean a real bargain)
suitable for running CyanogenMod
No idea about a tablet yet, it should be around 10" (min. 1280x720px) with built-in 3G, thought about a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 GT-P5100, but compared to some Chinese devices I found on Alibaba it's quite expensive, with the freshly announced Tab 3 even at a higher price.
Concerning the phone I found the amazing Lenovo A820 at an unreal low price with top specs, but it's Dual SIM and not supported by CM (in fact CM currently has no Dual SIM support at all).
The major issue with no-name Chinese devices is the uncertain CM support (don't mind if officially or unofficially supported), but not being able to install CM would be a showstopper for me, as I have no intentions at all to run any Android device with GAPPS installed!
And advice?

Most Chinese devices (HTC and huawei and Oppo excluded) will not get CM support. If they do, it will be very limited. As in, they'll stop after maybe a couple months of nightlies.
Lenovo makes android tablets? Hmmm.
And stuff that is made specifically for China is usually much cheaper, but much harder to get your hands on.
My 0.02.
After some more research and searching through the list of supported devices at CM I came to the conclusion, that unfortunately none of such interesting Chinese / no-name hardware is suitable for me. I just have to have CM without GAPPS on my device, there is no way around it.
It seems there are quite some devices coming now with reasonable (and similar) specs at very low prices, like the freshly announced Huawei Ascend G525, which are all Dual SIM. If it wasn't about the missing CM support, I'd go for something like the Lenovo A820 or similar.
I still don't know what to do. The tablet is not a must-have, but a new phone would be nice right now. The list on CM does not show which devices are new, it should be a recent 2013 model.
So any hint, which of the un-/officially CM supported recent devices would be worth looking at?
