Just asked my wife to grab one for me in China who was there on business.  Beautiful Screen!     So crisp and clear and very dark to very bright brightness settings.  Pretty fast overall, but also bits of lag and slowness.  I understand that the tons of pixels are slowing up the CPU and GPU, but I also know that this rk3188 is pretty much at the top of the class for quad cpu now.  Hope they can give us, or someone can give us, better firmware to take full advantage of this cpu.  I have been on the rk3066 and loved it, no lag, great speed, decent battery life...so I know what rk3188 should be capable of. 

I've just installed this firmware,it works!

No more chinese apps, just the basis apps from Google

Antutu before 14900, now 14790....it can be better

Hi All,

I tried the recovery option but couldn't get the drivers installed on my Win7 64 bit Think pad. So tried what Alok did and sure enough the tablet picked up the new update.zip and asked for it to be flashed.

Benchmark results we're in fact opposite to what th0ms says. Getting 14900 + something. 

Feedback:

1. Old OS 4.1, wish they could at least release 4.2

2. There is a lot of lag, guess this is what you get for buying Chinese. Wish that Cube would give better firmware to solve the issue but it may be because of the RAM or screen res.

3. Screen is very nice, look of tablet is very nice.

4. Weight wise it seems to be as heavy as iPad3

5. Battery life seems to be good. Not done a thorough test though

Wish list:

1. 0 lag

2. Someone to develop Cynogenmod, even if its 4.1

Comparatively the T7 would have been a better buy or may be even the Ramos W30HD or W42 which comes with Exynos CPU. The temptation of a good screen was my deciding factor hoping that lag wouldn't have been so bad

None the less, I will have to live with this for a year at minimum. 

Ok, I have now been using this tablet for well over 10 days now... here are my impressions.

Good things

1. The battery is awesome. Keep your screen brightness, to the lowest level that is comfortable to you (I found that, except when playing video and in Sun, the lowest level is good), the batteries lasted well over 1.5 days, with about 4-5 hrs of usage every day.

2. With full brightness, which actually u need to turn down, if in darker place and playing video, the battery lasts about 5-6 hours. It takes about 1.5 hrs to charge up to full glory.

3. The screen rez and vividity is super, you will fall in love with it.

4. Using it with BT keyboard, and my entire operations of a laptop now working great.

5. Bought a Btooth headphone and the music, audio is super.

6. Before the Kasty rom, the factory rom gave 14,990 as the antutu store. Post Kasy dropped to 14k, now sometimes even at 12,900 - Why ? No idea ?

7. I have 64gb, flash Sd card inserted, and it is so cool.

8. Speed, stability, use is very comfortable - appears to be very smooth, very stable and definitely good quality feel.

9. It has pushed the other tablets, I own to side and is fast becoming my device of choice.

Not so good things

1. Swype had to be taken off - swype and web browsers are just not working on this device.

2. Xbmc does not work - keeps crashing.

3. The speaker volume is low - you can get decent quality, if you use MX player

4. The earphone pin seems to be either of diff size or incompatible with most of the cables I have tried. Gave up.

5. The free RAM reporting seems to be running into some trouble, the system is ok, but the reporting seems to be of concern.

Hi again,

does anyone know why is see in the build.prop why such things as
rk30sdk

rk30xx

should not those be rk31sdk and rk31xx for rk3188?

thanks!
