I had posted this attached to a thread in the main Q&A but was suggested I post here. Rather then start a new thread thought I'd piggy back here. Thanks for any thoughts you have.

I will probably order the Ainol NOVO Aurora today or tomorrow and have spent a bunch of time finding customer experiences with the half dozen or more vendors and haven't found a consensus.

I wish there was a U.S. vendor that shipped from the U.S. I'd be willing to pay a small premium, but alas, it doesn't look like I have that option.

I've narrowed down the vendors to either Merimobiles or UPlayTablet. Before I flip the coin, I'll post here, a place where I've become very pleased with the quality posts and knowledge of the people posting.

Any final words of wisdom before I take the plunge?

It's okay.

Hope you didn't take the plunge just yet.
I received my Aurora 2 days ago and I have rooted it and put a custom rom on it.

rooting process and all was was fairly easy once I found the right stuff.
There's also a community out there that's of fair size, but it's not that amazing even for the price, the screen is okay and it feels pretty good to hold. But over all it's just too laggy in day to day things, typing for instance :mad:

With the nexus 7 coming out in the next little while you'd be much better off waiting for that.

Videos do play very well though, including 1080p mkv's, which makes me a little surprised at laggy everywhere else.

Also touch screen is a little unsensitive.

Just my thoughts.

Thanks but I already took the plunge. :) Hopefully it will arrive next week. I've spent the time since I ordered reviewing the slatedroid forum. I don't have any confidence yet to install a different rom. I developed that confidence on my KF from reading this forum in about a day.

For now I'll be sticking with the stock rom.

Where did you get yours?

I've had one for about a week (v3, lg screen). For the price it is very good value for money, but definitely not perfect. It does lag, terribly when using the keyboard. I bought it for watching video, internet browsing, reading ebooks and fire occasional gaming. Despite the lag issues it's a great tablet.

Edit:
I've now overclocked mine using setcpu. My settings are stable at 1152 max, 600 min, performance governor. It has made a huge difference to the lag and I highly recommend this. I've also used titanium backup to freeze some of the bloatware. As I do not use this with a 3g dongle I will shortly remove the phone apk's (Phone, TelephonyProvider and Wappushmanager) to remove the mobile standby wakelocks as mentioned in post 109 here.

Ive had mine for 2 weeks, and having owned 6 tablets so far, everything from the Augen7 to the Nook Color (3 of those in the house now)

Until I got this the NC was the tablet I always recomended in the under $200 category.

Well having used it daily for 2 weeks and not updated anything (yet) this is now my #1 recommendation.

As for 'local' retailers, if you dont mind the "premium" MP4Nation is delivered through Amazon. For me that gave me a good sense of security since as a prime member I was able to have it ovenighted to me for $5

Im color blind but can see a difference in the screen. everyone at work who ses it starts telling ME I must have droppped IPAD $ on it.

I work in IT so most tabs are IPADS, at the moment. Ive had 3 folks order these since.

Ill slide over to slate and see whats up with new roms, but honestly stock really works well, for my needss anyway

Need HELP!

I also buy it. As it is a Made in China product. Roms from China will be much more stable.

---------- Post added at 05:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:42 PM ----------

Here are 2 roms for you.

They are all stable and fast. I have tried them =]
Hey... I haven't installed any ROM on my Aurora yet. And I'm a beginner at this stuff.

My tab details are:

  • Android version - 4.0.3
  • Baseband version - 0.9
  • Kernel version - 3.0.8
  • Build number - 20120228.142352

Can you please tell me which of one these two chinese ROMs (mentioned above) will work great for me?
