Ramos i10 Tablet Intel Z2580 2GHz/2GB RAM 10.1 Inch Retina / Android

Hi

I just recieved my Ramos i10 Tablet (android version) and want to collect all possible info about the device here. Like ROMS, experiences, tips & tricks, tests etc. As I write this, my Tablet found a new OTA update, and currently downloading it.

Short review:
The tablet is made of high quality materials, and almost everything on this one is real aluminium or metal. The overall build quality is good, but the tablet is also a bit heavy.

The screen is bright and have good colours, sharp picture and not much to complain about. So far I found the screen to be better than on my other Chinese tablet (Vido M10). And the resolution is also very nice.
It has 2 front speakers (ACC dual speakers) and actually it is capable to play real loud, and the sound quality is also ok for a chinese tablet.

The speed of the tablet is really good. There is not much lag (if any) when I have used it. It seems to be faster with its Intel CPU and 2GB RAM than my previous tablets with Rockchip 3188 CPU.

The bad thing is that the tablet came without any Google Play Store. But you can use other stores like "Aptoide". I am downloading an OTA update right now, and hope that it maybe will add the store, but I have to wait and see.
UPDATE: I managed to install the Google Play Store, read the instructions further down!
Other than that the tablet is really nice and I just love the "HTC One" design that it has.

ROMS:
OTA really works on the tablet. (I already downloaded one update on mine OTA).
But it is faster to download from the net.

Issues
The tablet may come without Google Play Store preinstalled in the ROM.
Still you can of course download and install other stores like for example "Aptoide"
Search for it on google and install it directly from the tablet http://m.aptoide.com/installer
UPDATE: with official firmware 20140418 (Play store is now included in the ROM)

Fixes
Here my guide to install Google Play Store for the Ramos i10
It can be installed so it works 100% no crashes, no fc, and all apps can be downloaded/installed fine!
I found this trick to do it after 2 days of trying all kind of methods!
Be sure to backup all important stuff first on the tablet, because you will need to factory reset it.

1. ROOT the tablet with Shuame ROOT tool http://www.shuame.com
You will need these files for the ROOTING
- i10 driver : http://pan.baidu.com/s/1em9l3 or here mirrored all 3in1 file http://peecee.dk/upload/download/436622
- Ramos ROOT file: http://pan.baidu.com/s/1w30L5
- ROOT Wizard tool: http://www.shuame.com/
2. Follow my ROOT/ADB instructions in this word document! http://peecee.dk/upload/download/436617 or here mirrored http://www.sendspace.com/file/dbow6s (close the popup that may come, when hitting download)
(Big thanks to Daphne for the translation!) The needed ROOT files, drivers and tool are also in links inside the document. On the tablet, remember first to enable "Unknown sources" in security and enable "USB debugging mode" in the developer options.
3. When successfully ROOTed, let Shaume install its SuperSU and the other apps it comes with to the tablet.
You may check with ROOT Checker if it is really rooted now or not. (ROOT checker app, you can download using another store, for example the Aptoide store)
4. Reboot the tablet
5. Now factory reset the tablet, after a fresh reset, SuperSU should still be there and it is still ROOTed.
But your removed all the Shaume bloatware and chinese appstore it also installed.
6. Download the Gapps package here http://www.mediafire.com/download/m00z1385acthrdm/Gapps-s7yler.rar or here http://peecee.dk/upload/download/436619 or mirror2 http://www.sendspace.com/file/g8h7lz and put them on a SDcard, and then the card in the tablet.
7. Install the "Google Account Manager APK" file from SDcard (do it via the file manager app on the tablet)
8. After that go to settings in the tablet, then to Accounts and Add new Google account and login with your account
9. Now install the Google Play Store APK from SDcard (if that is NOT possible, then skip this step!)
10. Install the GooglePlay.Installer(ALL-Colors).apk from SDcard, it should install all nessecary Gapps!
10. Then run "Installer cracked Google Play" from the app drawer, inside the app choose Modded Google Play Original Style, and then the button Install and Reboot.
11. Reboot
12. If you can see Google Play store, then start it and your good! but if you can't find the shortcut to Google Play store on the desktop! (actually it is there) then do a factory reset of the whole tablet again.
13. After the factory reset, you should have the Google Play Store shortcut on the desktop!
14. But hold - you just did a new factory reset! so you need to do step 7 and 8 again.
15. After that start Google Play Store and it should now work!
16. No crash, and you can download apps and games without problems!
17. After that I installed Titanium Backup Pro (paid version) and converted the important Google Play apps from user apps to system apps. So when a factory reset is needed again, they will stay on the tablet. Because they are then inside the ROM.

Have fun & hit the thanks button if it worked for you!

Thank you for your great review!
It looks like HTC One on Steroids .

I am just looking for good 16/10 10inch tablet, Is it worth the extra ~40$ over Ifive 3X?
Who makes better tabets/FW's ? iFive/Pipo/Ramos?

You have to look on what CPUs they use. The Intel CPU in the Ramos i10 I have found to be much faster than the Rockchip 3188 that many of the other China tablets use. I have compared it to another 10" tablet (with Rockchip 3188) and the Ramos i10 is much more smooth in the browser and UI.

2D and 3D Games also run very nice & smooth on the Ramos i10. While some few games don't always run that well on the Rockchip 3188.

UPDATE check my quick comparison video here: Intel Atom vs. Rockchip
