Hello to all 🙂

I just bought an ARNOVA 7d G3 clone called Lazer, here in Portugal for 99 euros. I it has the same exact specs and looks.

It works very well and i was able to root it and install Google Play. However, i do feel that this version of ICS is kind of chinese and not working to its full potencial. I would like to know if i could help somehow, dump the firmware or so, in order to create a custom rom.

Here are some photos of the tablet. Sorry for the crappy quality.

Sorry for my bad english, its not my native language.

Thanks for the help.

Thanks for your pictures, I've edited your first post and removed the later messages to clean up the topic.

Which method have you used to install Google Play, is it working fine, no missing apps ?

ive tried several methods, but the one that worked (no force close an so on) was puting several of google apps in apk format inside system folder (had to use root explorer to give r/w premissions) and rebooting the tablet...after that, it was workig...however, it stills pop ups now and then a message saying something about google services being stoped, but it keeps working. Also, i had a server conction error in google paly, so i had to add my accoutn using gmail.

If you don't mind living without Google Talk, just remove it.

Hi admin,

How are you developments on the custom firmware progressing? I bought a 7d G3 myself and it desperately needs a custom firmware. I've managed to get Google Play installed, but it doesn't work very well. I encounterd missing applications in the market and the google framework services is constantly crashing. I've setup my gmail account, but i can't retrieve any mails with it. Also my home button doesn't work anymore since i installed Google Play.
