Hi to all.
Has anyone tried it or is aware of any review on Easypix Easypad EP970? I am thinking on buying one, since specs look very good without me being an expert on CPU performance data (9.7 capacitive, Rockchip R2918 1.2Ghz, 1Gb, 8Gb, 8000mAh, Gingerbread) and price is rather low for these specs.
Also, does anyone know of any custom ROM for it? The source code is readiy available from their site so I guess someone with knowledge can do it easily.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
unfortunately this tablet is not focused from many people - the price and specs are fine - i would say the closest competitor is the Archos Arnova 9 G2
better specs vs better screen for 240€ - i would like to see a video about the quality of the easypad 970 screen
Android 4.0 for Rockchip 2918: Link
Thanks. So, am I right to assume that any Rockchip 2918 9.7" based ICS or Honeycomb ROM would do for the Easypad as well?
Talking about the Arnova 9 G2, it looks interesting indeed. Slightly slower CPU, one camera less, slightly thicker, but 50 Euro less!!
On the Arnova's downside, no mention on the battery capacity though (will be hard to beat Easypad's 8000mAh), and worse of all not avaiable for sale as yet.
I guess Prestigio will be coming soon with a similar model as well.

There would be still a ROM portation nessecary to adjust certain aspects and implement certain driver. But at least it should be simple for experienced Modder.

Yeah at beginning next year there will be some very similar and interesting devices in the low budget area.
Archos Arnova 9 G2; 10 G2
Easypad 970,
Prestigio
and also Coby Link
For now the Archos has the biggest community, i think root is already possible for Arnova 9 G2, because of the similarity to the Arnova 10 G2. Maybe next year other devices will be community or company supportet as well - unfortunately no one can really say.
Interestingtimes ahead then.
I think it is wiser not to rush now and wait for next year. Let's see.
Thanks
the easypad970 seems to be a good purchase now
Link
its identical to cube U9GT2
therefore easy to root and Android 4.0 final release is coming soon
Happy new year.
I got the 970 a couple of days before the new year. I couldn't resist the temptation when I had it in front of me. I also bought one for my bro as well.
Already I rooted it with Gingerbreak (minor snag after that, during shutdown, but workaround by another app), loaded with apps, and tested on dlna multimedia servers, etc etc.
Generally happy with it. Now is about time to experiment with ICS. Just to confirm that I can use a U9GT2 ROM without a problem, even though this one has 8Gb NAND instead of 16Gb of U9GT2?
Sorry for the noob question
BTW thanks for the links. Great help!!
grz - i got one too its cheap, good performance, good quality, and has a excellent display
i would recommend to change the Launcher and the Keyboard, to e.g.:
Go Launcher Ex and Hacker´s Keyboard
for Gaming install Chainfire3DPro and within Chainfire install OpenGL Driver
for Gameloft Games, like Order & Chaos you need to change the build.prop (\System): Link (Thread #8)
HardKeyboard + Mouse + USBStick work also fine
and yes - you can use the Cube u9gt2 ROMs - the USB Driver doesnt work as fine as the
970 but it works - with a installed cube ROM u need to use a RKManager to switch off the Tablet,
then press Volume (-) + Power keep pressing and put the USB cable in the computer, then
the Device will be recognized from the RKManager und you can take away the Fingers
Thanks for the good info. Congrats on your new gadget!
Will try games etc, but at the moment I am trying to find the best calendar and contacts apps in order to sync with Outlook and keep the categories, and some networking functions.
There is something in the German forum that you kindly provided the link, that I need to clear up: "richtet 1GB anstatt 500MB für Apps ein". Google translation implies not clearly that if I use the Cube ROM, it gives me 1Gb for installing apps instead of 500Mb as in Easypad. Is that correct?
If so, out of curiosity then, any ideas why Easypix gave us only 500Mb (which have almost run out on mine and I am also using Apps2SD)? And where does Cube take that extra space from? Is it from the NAND Flash memory which it has double than ours? If so, then we Easypad owners wouldn't have any problem with half the NAND and even then reduced by another 500Mb? Or is it just too trivial and I shouldn't bother about it? Because I need that 1Gb badly

Hey,
I'm one of those germans with an Easypad 970
Well I upgraded my stroage for Apps from 500mb to 1gb without any problems. I think the Cube U9GT2 Rom upgrade changed the partition sizes too. So we will lose 500mb from the normal NAND flash an can use it for apps.
greetings
yes its a decision for the ROM maker between more storage for the system or for the user - i really prefer 1GB for Apps
I would recommend the new Cube Firmware 1.05 = Android 4.0.3 (Source), i tried this one out the whole day and im very pleased. It runs very stable, has 1GB for Apps, flash works and some Apps look really good with ICS.
for Calendar - i use "Jorte" and youtube is here
Good.
I am also thinking of installing this specific firmware (or any update) by next week and hope by that time someone will fix the adb issue.
Did you notice any improvement on battery life?
no unfortunately i didnt notice any improvement in battery life, and in the next days we will see probably some more ROMs so there is no need to hurry
Hi, I also have the Easypad 970 and very pleased with the quality of the screen and overall speed of the tablet. Unfortunately, it seems there are some devices (like mine) with faulty/bad WiFi chips and this is a real problem. Currently, trying to get it fixed with easypix support and respons is OK so far. Tomorrow I will try to get an RMA for it.
Hi xda-Members,
I have a simple question:
Is the Cube U9GT-2 compatible with CyanogenMod?
I've got Gingerbread on my tablet, but I'm not really satisfied with this OS, maybe because it's developed for smartphones and not tablets.
Greets Meldamos
Hi.
Unfortunately I cannot help with your question. All I know is that some people are experimentinig with ICS (Android 4.0) on the U9GT-2, and there is a beta firmware for it if you would like to give it a try.
I am also thinking of buying one of these tablets. I found it for 230 Euros (=290 USD, =190 GBP). I was just about to press the "Add to cart" button when I saw your post.
What do you thing about this tablet? Do you have it long? Are you happy?
Also can you please PM me with the information of where you bought it from and if you were happy with the transaction (if it was an online buy)?
Thanks
Little review of U9GT-2
Well I have this tablet for 2-3 Weeks now and I don't regret it. I bought this tablet over an online-shop called cect-shop, because the support is in german and it has a warranty of 1 year. And there it costs 200€ with 25€ express shipment (there in 3 days from china to germany ^^) and 25€ toll. All in all I paid around 250€, much cheaper than here in germany where it starts at 350€ up to 700€ and not almost on a level of the capacity this tablet has. By the way if you ask cect-shop, they'll send you a stylus pen with your tablet for free.
The tablet uses Android 2.3 with Honeycomb style, not bad but could be better. The OS seems not to be build for battery saving, because the power runs of after 2-3 days in standby.
I asked the manufacturer about ICS and got the answer that they're working on it, but still need time to finish the compatibility with U9GT-2. They'll publish it on their homepage I think.
On the look it get often mistaken with an Apple iPad but it's not exactly like one. The capacitive display works fine, it discerns up to 10 fingers but you are not using 10 finger actually ^^
The sound is pretty good I think, even if I don't really know how the standard quality of tablets are. The big trouble is like I said the OS. But it's a thing you can change and does not affect the quality of this tablet.
If anyone has precise questions feel free to ask. I'm not good at writing a review.
Thanks for the valuable info.
Few questions more if you are kind enough:
1. Can you confirm the manufacturer's site? I have found one web address in China and never managed to connect
2. Can you confirm the thickness of it? Is it realy less than 10mm? Does it actually feel like an i-pad when you are carrying it around?
3. The material on the back side is it realy aluminium?
4. I have noticed that on different sites they give slightly different specs from cect.Ie pandawill gives a CPU of 1Ghz, thickness of 7mm and battery capacity 8000mAh, though cect gives 1.2Ghz, 9.7mm and 7600MAh. This is a problem with the Chinese sites / products / clones I guess... Nevertheless, since you are in Germany, you must have heard or seen an Easypix Easypad, have you? I am between the cube and the Easypad 970 (at easypix.eu). They look very similar. Do you have any personal feedback on that ?
5. Finally, does the screen look and feel like being IPS or not?
Sorry if I bother you too much, but it's the first time I buy a gadget withut actually testing or seeing one, so I am a bit concerned. Thanks

Okay let's start:
1. Yes the manufacturer is available. There are also 2 supporter for questions available via skype. They're on workdays online so you can ask them directly. But there english seems not to be very good so better you keep your questions simple
2. I measured it now, I don't warrant than my results are exactly but they're 243mm x 190mm x 10,5mm (length x width x height). I have never had an iPad (too expensive for a tablet) but it feel very comfortable if I carry it around and it's not very heavy. I don't have a balance here but I think it's around 500-700 gram. Well it doesn't feel heavy for me that's all I can say actually.
3. YES it is aluminium and what a luck it is, because on the 3. day it got pushed against a aluminium pole and has only a really small dent left. A plastic hull would have cracked I think.
4. Don't look at the GHZ, many sellers push or fake them, maybe caused by stupidness or advertising. The U9GT-2 has a Rockchip 2918 CPU. Look for the specs on google. The battery is an advertising medium. I doesn't has 8000 mhA or even 7600 mhA. I has 2 x 4000 mhA batteries but they just sum them what they shouldn't do. Like I said the OS is not optimized for tablets and it really takes too much power in stand by. When playing you don't recognize the power loss. I played 3 hours a game called "deadly dungeon" (a dungeon crawler) and the battery has got from 63% to 49%. Well I've not saw the easypad, but they're exactly the same. They've got the same capacities and even the same OS. Throw a dice from 1-3 easypad and from 4-6 U9GT-2, that would be my solution ^^... Well I don't know if easypix is working on a ICS for easypad, just know that cube is working on it.
5. Well I don't know what you understand of a "feeling" for IPS. It looks like a monitor how you see it everywhere today. Don't know if you still have a cathode ray tube (I have one), but there is a difference. Of course, the games are sucking because they're not build for 9,7" displays . Some games are smoother with the resizing, others are bad. But the quality of the display is very good. Of course, not standard on notebooks over 15,6" (which I prefer) but for 9,7" it's high resolution.
Hope my answer could help you and other people who struggle on buying a china-tablet
PS: I've got many friends who look suspect at the tablet, like it could break every second, and I'm just smiling and laughing about their prejudices.
Fantastic answers.
Thank you very much for your effort.
I will follow your advice with the dice after the holidays
Happy Christmas

STOP!!! xD... Hope you did not buy it.
Forgot to mention that the EasyPad 970 can only use 8GB Flash HDD. U9GT-2 use 16GB! You get the double storage for the same price.
Sorry for my late answer, did not recognize the difference in the first place.
Sh*t. I bought one a few days ago
I generally know what NAND flash is, but not sure about its' importance. Mine still says 5.9 Gb free, after fully loaded with apps (I know they've got nothing to do with the NAND, but I can't seem to find a way how to run out of space in NAND). In any case, it is better to have double the capacity with the same cost, no matter what.
By the way, that NAND is some soldered microchip, or it can be a micro SD card on the motherboard so that it can "easily" be upgraded in the future if the need arises?
Nevertheless, I am happy with the tablet. Already rooted and experimenting. A couple of snags though, but I will find my way around them hopefully.
By the way, is there a way to hard - reset the tablet by hardware (since there is not a pin-hole or something)? Any combination of buttons pressed during power on?
The internal flash memory is installed in form of chips. Two in the Cube, as can be seen at tabletrepublic.com/forum/android-tablet-reviews/disassembling-cube-u9gt2-414.html, presumably one in the easypad. Apparently the 8GB of the easypad are partitioned in 0,5GB for apps and the rest for data while the 16GB in the Cube are partioned in 1GB for apps and the rest for data. I have read that by installing the cube firmware on the easypad 970, one can get 1 GB for apps, too. Personally, I think 8GB internally is plenty because media files (movies etc.) usually are stored on external SDHC cards anyway for fast swapping.
My 2 cents...
I recently bought one while I was in Beijing on holiday and was really amazed with the battery life with Android 2.3, considering I was streaming movies non-stop for 14 hours straight (in comparison with and iPad 2). The multi-touch keyboard sometimes has a lag although most the UI seems to be relatively smooth.
The camera located at the back also took decent pictures during day and night.
Overall this is a neat unit under $350.00 AUD considering most other units requiring a stylus or long fingernails to operate. I will be looking at rooting the device in a few weeks after I do a bit more research.
Let me know if you have modded your unit and your thoughts.
Thanks
Cube U9GT2 USB host controller issues
Hello everyone,
I'm hoping to solve a problem here, I just purchased a Cube U9GT2 Tablet 9.7
running: Android ICS 4.0.3 with a Kernel Version:3.0.8+.
With a build number: rk29sdk-eng4.03 IML74K eng-yangyun.20120108.124417 test-keys.
It came with an OTG/USB Cable and has both a USB and a USB/OTG port.
Let me just state this, I have tested all cables, ports and jump drives and have reformatted them to fat32, they were Fat32 also.
The problem I'm having is ICS can't see any jump drives I hook up to it. I installed a program from the Market called, USB Host Ctrlr. It ran a info check after install, and here is what it said:USB Host Controller Version Number:0.42 S3C USB Host Driver NOT Found! Root Hub Present. USB Host Mode is active.
I'm no developer or even a decent novas, but with decent instructions I can execute. Any ideas how to fix this, The price was Killer, when one is buying from a Chinese Company, the support is pretty limiting when you only speak English.
That's why the great price, I'm not complaining, I just want to get this resolved if possible.
In regards to the Tablet, I really like it a lot! pretty fast, smooth interface, easy to navigate, decent keyboard, (but I'm use to a smartphone).
It plays movies very nice, screen is plenty bright, It can use a Micro-sd card up to 32 gigs. Have not had any crashes yet, had it about 2 weeks. They have raised the prices about $13.00 I had to try one at that price, plus shipping was Free! I ordered it late on a Sunday night in USA, got it in 3 days DHL shipping, Hard to beat. Anyhow if anyone can help here, it sure be very appreciated. I would even be willing to pay something if reasonable.
If anyone is interested i can provide brand new AUTHENTIC CUBE U9GT2 at the price of euro 240.00.
The price include express shipping to all around the world (4-5 business days).
I am sending from European country so residents of EU will not pay additional taxes or VAT !!!
Let me know.

Pls check your PM
Hey guys, looking to get a really cheap ICS tablet - original wanted to get a Ainol Nova 7 paladin, but found out that because of it's CPU, it is not compatible with most apps.
Wondering if it would be worth getting this:
512MB 4GB 7" Android 4.0 Capacitive Touch Tablet MID 1GHZ WiFi/ 3G Camera HDMI
(stick that in google - I am not able to post links yet)
or
www(DOT)ebay(DOT)com/itm/512MB-4GB-7-Android-4-0-Capacitive-Touch-Tablet-MID-1GHZ-WiFi-3G-Camera-HDMI-/160762504214?pt=US_Tablets&hash=item256e312416#ht_ 5492wt_986
Or if these chinese tablets tend to give problems.
What do you think? Are there any other tablets out there like the Novo 7, but with the ARM architect?
Thanks.
Haven't seen your tablet, and I'm not going to give it a try but a recommendation:
What about those Archos Tablets? They got ICS since a week. A friend of mine got such a device (Archos G9 101) and absolutely loves it. It's a really great tab.
thanks,
I'm really looking for something around $100 - like these chinese models. Was hoping that someone on the forums might have experience with certain brands etc.
P.S. Anyone heard of Newsmy?
www(dot)ebay(dot)com(dot)au/itm/7-Newsmy-NewPad-T3-Android-4-0-Capacitive-Tablet-PC-WiFi-ARM-Cortex-A8-1-2GHz-/220970956545?pt=AU_Tablets#ht_3690wt_1156
I did buy that same tablet if you still need info on it.

I picked up one of the Newsmy T3's from ebay for about 80 bucks the other day and it seems to be a nice little tablet. its pretty fast, responsive and the screen is good but it has fairly poor battery life. Overall, I like it and it seems like it has lots of potential. I hope that we can get some custom roms out for this puppy!
I have a nexus 7 32GB that I love except for the lack of mSD slot (just got a 64GB Samsung msd card) & the low volume speaker.
I'm in the market for a replacement tablet that has the same screen size (7-8") , highest internal memory+ mSD slot, would prefer single/dual front speakers, 2GB memory is a must. A high res. screen would be nice to have although I can live with 1024X768 as the minimum, Bluetooth, big battery.
Dont care about Camera, GPS; nice to have em on board though!
I'm kinda lost with all the different Chinese tablets and worried about future software upgrades, build quality..etc?
Should I go with the Pipo U8 , Ainol Novo 8 Discover, note 8...etc? They're all nice and all but too wide to fit in my back jeans pocket.
The nexus 7 width is very compact!
Budget: Up to $400.
What would you recommend?
Thanks!

Thanks, but I've been reading about people having trouble with this tablet's wi-fi range, and the placement of the speaker at the back.
Cant seem to find any customer review about how loud the speakers are though. Not looking for a mind blowing experience, just loud enough to watch youtube videos comfortably; unlike my nexus 7 that has a terrible speaker; and one of the reasons I'm in the market for a new tablet (+ a mSD slot)
This's why I'm leaning towards the PiPO U8, the speaker is placed on the front of the tablet. It looks like it has nice specs as well, what do you think?
Thanks!

PIPO U8 either in the configuration or price are very good, if I want to buy PIPO tablet, I would choose PiPo M9Pro 3G, but the price is a little high.
It's not the price that is holding me back! It's the screen size (7 to8") along with other specs I'm looking for in the OP.
Hi solo, I have the u8 and I have to say that I like this tablet very much. It's only fault is the WiFi reception. It's not horrible but it should be better, I believe he metal back interferes with the reception. But over all it has a lot of bang or your buck. So that's my two cents, or what it's worth. It's worth taken a hard look at.

That store don't have the same phone in stock, I don't see it.
They give price guarantee at http://www.coolicool.com - meaning they will gurantee a cheaper price than everyone else, no matter what. That service has a greater value for me.
So I was demonstrating the strength of the mighty android to my Apple loving heathen, and well yea. I broke my screen. XD
I currently have a Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 (Which I love) But finding an LCD replacement for it has lead me to two things: All the sources are chinese, so its a bit risky, and I can't buy the LCD screen alone (Yes, its the lcd screen that broke. The picture is all messed up and everything, but the touch works just fine, and the front layer has no cracks.)
Looking at the wonderful prices for a new LCD + Digitizer, (Around 150$ for a Chinese knockoff) I realized it might just be worth buying another tablet (I could buy a used Galaxy Pro 8.4 for around 280$, its almost not even worth replacing the screen.)
Unfortunately, most of my work is done on tablet, and would need a functioning one ASAP. I would do my own research and look around for a tablet that fits my needs, but alas, time is short for me.
So, I have come here to ask this: Anyone have any great tablets I can get for max of 200$? Refurbished is fine. Looking for something with 2gb of ram, screensize doesn't matter, needs to have micro SD slot, would like a good camera but isn't extremely vital. Quad core perhaps? A nice GPU (Whatever fits in the price range), needs to have wifi (Duh.), Most definitely needs to have support for CM, and would like it to be a brand name tablet.
Age doesn't matter, so long as it is powerful enough. Should easily support 4.4. Lollipop would be nice, but I would revert to 4.4 anyway with CM.
I'm all cool with Samsung and other name brands, but can we please avoid the Walmart brand crap?
Thanks so much!
EDIT: Would also go with a phone. No contract, paid in full, under 200$. ( I see a few HTCs I might like, still need to look into them a bit further though.)

I currently have a Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 (Which I love) But finding an LCD replacement for it has lead me to two things: All the sources are chinese, so its a bit risky, and I can't buy the LCD screen alone (Yes, its the lcd screen that broke. The picture is all messed up and everything, but the touch works just fine, and the front layer has no cracks.)
Looking at the wonderful prices for a new LCD + Digitizer, (Around 150$ for a Chinese knockoff) I realized it might just be worth buying another tablet (I could buy a used Galaxy Pro 8.4 for around 280$, its almost not even worth replacing the screen.)
Unfortunately, most of my work is done on tablet, and would need a functioning one ASAP. I would do my own research and look around for a tablet that fits my needs, but alas, time is short for me.
So, I have come here to ask this: Anyone have any great tablets I can get for max of 200$? Refurbished is fine. Looking for something with 2gb of ram, screensize doesn't matter, needs to have micro SD slot, would like a good camera but isn't extremely vital. Quad core perhaps? A nice GPU (Whatever fits in the price range), needs to have wifi (Duh.), Most definitely needs to have support for CM, and would like it to be a brand name tablet.
Age doesn't matter, so long as it is powerful enough. Should easily support 4.4. Lollipop would be nice, but I would revert to 4.4 anyway with CM.
I'm all cool with Samsung and other name brands, but can we please avoid the Walmart brand crap?
Thanks so much!
EDIT: Would also go with a phone. No contract, paid in full, under 200$. ( I see a few HTCs I might like, still need to look into them a bit further though.)

No, recommendations are fine.
That's what I am asking for, recommendations. Not selling my tablet or anything, just looking for a good make/model to replace it for a given price range.

I've been looking at this, and I kinda like all I see with it, Except...
I can't seem to find a CM rom for it. Does it have one? This a good android device or no?
Another device I found that has CM11 support (Good enough for me) is this: http://www.amazon.com/Huawei-Ascend-P6-Black-Android/dp/B00DMUW634
Anyone recommend it? Anything not good about it?
