Almost 2 years since the gtablet showed up on Woot, and got a lot of us here.
Would be interesting to see the ROM distribution today.

SmOoTher_BeAn_4.1.2 4dA Winz!
Fast, stable, works great with the dock and Bluetooth controllers.
Front facing camera doesn't work, but I don't Skype so no big loss. I'm currently using my Gtab as a media center/ retro gaming rig. As much as I once loved it, it just got too heavy with prolonged use when reading or surfing the net.
I almost miss Flash, but I can live without it all things considered. Went to a smaller 4.0.4 tablet for net and use as an E-reader for books and comics. Can't blame the rom on the lack of flash, its 4.1.2.

ROM: Team DRH ICS Beta 1.2 (solid as the day is long).
Battery has good life.

Most used app: Netflix

My kids use the tablet now as a movie/game platform.

I bought mine at Tiger Direct before the Woot sale.

Original Wooter here. Smoother bean ROM. It runs much better than Viewsonic's last stock ROM.
Use Gmail app the most with stock browser.
FWIW, I did not repartition my tablet with NVflash. The ROM runs fine on the standard partition if you don't
overload it. My Tablet is one of the unlucky ones that goes into an APX loop every time it gets NVflashed.
Battery life is fine for me.

ROM: TeamDRH JB Alpha 5.3
Galaxy Note II LTE - kind of a tablet
Alarm Clock & XBMC Remote
Always plugged in, never on battery

big_lv · Apr 16, 2013

Rom: TeamDRH ICS Beta
Other Tablets: None
Most Used App: Variety. It replaced my Franklin Planner at work through a combination of TouchDown (exchange client), Color Note (note taking),
Battery Life: I use it for a good portion of every day, and I don't need to charge it until late at night. It's about the same as it was when I bought it.

ROM: Smoother Bean version 1.5.2 and PacMan 4.2.2 (I always run different ROMs on each Gtab, just in case of failure, however I'm a great and loyal fan of Nobe1976's consistently rock steady ROMs)
Others: have 2 Gtabs, no other tablets
Most used: VLC
Battery: 8hr battery life - very little degradation

firewater88 · Sep 16, 2013

ROM: Bounce between Beasty and PACman
Others: Note II (sort of), Nexus 7, Kids both have iPads (grandpa bought them)
Most used: Netflix with HDMI out of dock
Battery: 8hr battery life
Use: don't use it very much anymore, will wind up on Swappa soon probably.

Purchased from Tiger Direct when they first popped up.

Just in case you are still curious...

Name of ROM you are using: CyanogenMod 7.2
Other tablets you bought for yourself and others: Toshiba Excite AT305. Never more. Won't get a tablet you can't root.
Most used app (choose one if you have many): I'm not using the tablet so frequently yet. The gTablet was actually bought for my mom. Not exactly sure how she is using it, but I would guess once I set up dock with HDMI, XBMC will be the most frequently used app. In the meantime, I would say her currently most used app is stock browser which can still stream video from some websites like Rachel Maddow, NBC Nightly News, etc.
Battery life: Most of the time, tablets are plugged in dock, so can't comment on battery life.

Changing my answer from froyo to jelly bean.....its still going strong!
the harmony 4.1 has really breathed new life into the tablet. It's good as new!

goog64 · Dec 26, 2013

I run Vegan-TAB.......

It's great, but I don't know what it's based on? Froyo maybe??

Other tablets you bought for yourself and others: Another G-tab
Most used app (choose one if you have many): browser
Battery life: don't really know - seems very good though
