CoopZor · Jan 21, 2014

I ordered this tablet last week and it was shipped yesterday.
I hope to have it by the end of the week.

It would be great if this tablet could get some support from the custom rom makers!

I have had it for a week. It truly is a great tab. And I agree, once we get Custom recovery and Custom Roms, this will be hard to beat.

Is the hardware known by other brands so it is easier to develop for?

I am presently in Brussels, Belgium but when I return home late Sunday night (Denmark) there is one of these baby's waiting for me. So I can not tell anything about my first impressions but I am up for a custom ROM for sure....
I have flashed every phone and tablet for me or my kids regardless of the brand Chinese or a branded for as long as I can remember...
A version of Cyanogenmod 11 on this with NovaHD over it seems like a very nice deal

So I am excited about ROM development on this as well.... Keep up the good work.

How to root?

I've found that manual http://www.arctablet.com/blog/featured/root-onda-v812-onda-v972-and-allwinner-a31-based-tablets/. I don't have tablet, though. Going to order after end of Chinese holiday. So, I could not check whether it works for 975M

CoopZor · Jan 27, 2014

I received mine today and I must say I'm impressed. Looks solid with a good finished quality.

Yes it's normal, I have the same.
Does SwiftKey runs smoothly at your end? And youtube?

OK, but i think that isn't normal behaviour...with v1.0.5 app YouTube dont work, work fine tubemate o youtube in stock browser. I dont know about swiftkey, because i dont have it installed now...

Edit.update about swiftkey, that not run smoothly...

I have now played with my new Onda V975M for a couple of days and like others I am quite impressed about the build quality, screen and the feel in general.
Speakers is mediocre at best not even close to an IPAD, screen is bright and crisp, charging port is also a full micro USB (finally on a Chinese tablet), Micro HDMI as well (have not tested that yet) and I have stuck a 32Gb MicroSD in the slot for video and media only as the internal memory also is 32GB again nice with a cheap Chinese Tablet with plenty of storage.. Do not seems to get hot even with extended heavy use.
Cant really give a clear picture on battery because I have charged it every night last couple of days but even with heavy use during a full day the lowest I have had it is around 27%.

It does however feel like like there is a lot of lost/hidden potential in this tablet. I am absolutely sure if anybody where to make a CM11 for this it would be a hole new beast. Better drivers for both processor and GPU is needed.
I am experiencing stuttering both with YouTube and streaming video from other video streaming sites. It does shut WiFi AND memory card off when in sleep but both fires up really quick when woken up. It also seems to get slow'ish if a lot of APP's is open at a time, again with the processor speed and GPU it should be a real powerhouse. If you look at the specs only it do NOT perform as expected. I can't emphasise how much I am looking forward to some clever bloke is launching a custom performance ROM for this...

Please Please get to work...

Still I would recommend this to a friend... best bang for the buck right now I think??

I agree, this could be a great Nexus device if we could get a custom rom.

I am really satisfied with the tablet overall. If Onda releases KitKat, this tab will be a killer regarding the price. The predecessor, the normal 975 has already official 4.4 update from onda. I think it is only a matter of time before they bring it to our device.

Wifi off when screen off is bug of the latest Fw,like youtube bug,because in v1.0.4 there arent.
For fix WiFi off we van just replace the "module" /system/lib/dhd.Ko with the one present in the Fw 1.0.4

***Update***
Root is not permanent. It seems to disappear after a few reboots.

My 64GB card works fine but the 32GB one unmounts whenever I lock my screen. I've read that the solution is to reformat the card in the tablet. I'll try it out later after I backup the card.

***Update***
Had to format my 32GB card in my Galaxy Note 3 as there no option to do it in the V975m.
Tested my newly formatted card in the Tablet, but the problem still persists.

I have not found a support email address on the original Onda website. There are only phone numbers but my Chinese isn't that good
