EKEN M003s Via 8650 With Roger Calver's Singularity Rom Review

[bjknngbhh]

&Why are you using a stylus lol is the screen terribly non-touch resistant?

[dragon2knight]

@bjknngbhh Believe it or not,I hate fingerprints,lol. Depending on which version of 8650 tab you get(there are over 80,no lie!!) the screen is quite responsive. I use Eken's exclusively, they have never let me down ;-)

[bjknngbhh]

@dragon2knight Oh great reason LOL & great idea

[bjknngbhh]

So the tablet supports apk files right? :D

[dragon2knight]

@bjknngbhh Of course it does,and it has a full Marketplace as well with this rom :-)

[bjknngbhh]

@dragon2knight So is it like in Japanese when you first buy it or something? well chinese XD or is Eken like a reallyreallyreally unknown american brand like zte or something

[dragon2knight]

HTC Desire is better....if your looking for a phone that is.This is a cheap tablet that works well on its own,but has no hardware acceleration to play games with,but basic things like web surfing and ebook reading will work great.

[F4H33M97]

which is better a my htc desire S or this tablet (in performance)?

Philip Seymour Hoffman is now doing tablet reviews?

Times must be hard :-)

LOL @ "iOS....bah humbug"

[Hamisxa]

where to download games for this???

[dragon2knight]

@Hamisxa The Android marketplace is the best source,but there are a few other sites like Amazon that have them as well.

[Hamisxa]

@dragon2knight i got Drag Racing but works so fkin slow.

Irt works like on my pc... Is there a way to speed the game up?

[dragon2knight]

@Hamisxa Sadly...no. This isnt the best tablet for gaming as there is no hardware acceleration of any kind(hardware accelerated tablets usually have a much higher price tag...).What this tablet excells at is the basics: ebook/comic reading,web surfing basic video playback up to 720p. It really ist suited to gaming,hence the cheap price of admission. Its not a bad tablet by any means, just not a gaming rig.

[Hamisxa]

@dragon2knight i know its good but slow like hell even my browser opens rly slow on it

[dragon2knight]

@Hamisxa Believe it or not,browser speed is more dependent on your router than the tablet.I have several tablets and get different speeds from all of them. If its too slow for you,you might also want to try a different rom,sometimes that helps alot as well. See my other videos for the Uberoid rom,what I consider to be the best one for the 8650 based tablets.

[abumohamed1982]

cool, thank you very much sir : )}

[abumohamed1982]

hello, where can this tablet be purchased for $100?

[dragon2knight]

@abumohamed1982 Its actually less than that now :) Pandawill has them for around $90.00 bucks shipped,but there are alot of places selling many versions of the 8650 based chipped tablets,look around :)

[MegaFineArt]

OH GORILLAZ HELL YEAH !!!

[OrangeNinjaman]

Um..please help if you can

I ordered this same tablet from ebay & everything works great except the android market. Something is wrong with it. It has very limited apps. Also, I'm tying to set up my market account to work with the one on my computer but it's not working. Any help would be much appreciated

[dragon2knight]

@OrangeNinjaman Your best bet is to go onto Slatedroid(a forum where this rom is hosted)and ask this question on there.I'm not having any trouble with the marketplace on mine,but it has been reported on Slatedroid that it can be broken depending on the tablet.Keep in mind that there are ove 20 versions of this tablet out there...it can get confusing!!

[taggsmcgee]

Hey, I noticed the netflix app on the screen. Is it actually able to stream video from netflix or not?

[dragon2knight]

@taggsmcgee Nope,this dosent seem to work with many tablets yet,give it time,it will work eventually ;-)

[exProphecy]

OoO did a review on it eh? =] So comparing it specifically to Uberoid, which do you personally like better?

OH and also, was what I heard true? Does Singularity run a bit smoother than Uberoid? Perhaps comparing a game such as Angry Birds or whatnot.

I'm definitely going to try both since I do have that option. Just waiting on my tablet in the mail. Got one on eBay: brand new, an 8650 7" and keyboard included! $75 =]

Thanks for the reviews! Helps me out a lot on info. about different ROMs! ^_^

[dragon2knight]

@exProphecy Yea,I felt that was the only way to be fair.It really is a nice rom,with a smooth(and fast)interface,very well done.I'm going to pass on saying which is better,that wouldnt be fair to either one,as I feel one should try all that are available and decide for themselves ;-) Its not a copout,its the truth.Try them both,you have nothing to lose :-)
