I plan to get one because it's better than the Dell Streak in terms of being unlocked and it works as a phone (without hacking it like the Galaxy Tab). I will get this device on Best Buy this week Let's get our hack section here now!
Just got home with mine! A kinda interesting so far .

I can't wait to install CyanogenMod on this huge fish!
Quick question: I'm thinking about buying it but do you need to have 3G/sim card in order to use the market and download apps? Or can you just get the tablet and enable wifi right away and use the market?
You can just use wifi if you want. So does anyone know if cyan is working on a rom for this yet? Also, what is the best root method for it?

You might want to add a poll to this thread.
Should we have a Ideos S7 section?
Yes or no
If you do, i will be voting yes because it will help grow the community.
I think so.

The S7 is a great tablet for the money. The only one I have found that is readily available with 3g, GPS and Bluetooth for $300.00. I have had mine for about a week and a half.
I love mine but I'm dying without android 2.2, any developers looking at these

you mean the prepaid packages sold from optus australia are not simlocked?
I picked one of these up the other day, and loving it. I originally picked up the Maylong M-150, but what a turd (Returned at record pace). This thing is much better. I would love to see it's own section in XDA with developer support. Cyan would be awesome on here.
Word up on the cyanogenmod shebang. This tablet is much easier to find than the Viewsonic which got its own section. So huh?
I too would like a section for this tablet and a cyanogen rom would be grand.
I just grabbed this little tablet for my son and was shocked at how much they packed in this little baby for the price. I was planning on getting a View Sonic G tablet for myself but might just grab another one of these.
Also side note anyone know where I can get a spare battery and or car charger for this thing?
Actually I really would love to see an extended battery up to 4000 mAH for this sucker.
I would love a section for this, I have the Telstra T-Touch Tab, which is what Telstra have rebranded it to in Australia, I think their hardware is slightly different though I am not 100% on that, if it is different then maybe a sub-forum for the T-Touch would be in order
This tablet has a lot of potential for froyo cooking and such, I do hope we get a forum

Congratulations! Xoom development is quite exciting right now. There are the mature and stable Honeycomb roms Moray 2.2.2 for wifi and 3G, one for 4G, and the Odachi kernel from Team Tiamat, as well as several kernels from Team Rogue. There is also a terrific alpha ICS (Ice Cream Sandwich) rom in development, that I'm using as a daily driver.

Was meant to be going for £199 by CPW.
They actually priced it instore for £199!
But apparently they 'messed up' and it wasnt the right price....
Tried to use price match plus 10% off at PC world
they said they rang the local cpw and said they could not as not in stock
I went over the cpw, they had 3 in stock, bought it
went back to pc world complained they'd told porkies
got a £30 free spend as a sorry we messed up
got a 16gb usb stick, a case for it, and a screen protector
I'm assuming the Xoom will get ICS officially ?

Im a complete noob on rooting and rom flashing
So not so keen to give it a go.
This guide is fine for setting up Android SDK (ADB):
http://alldroid.org/tabid/40/g/post...fastboot-support-in-Windows-for-the-Xoom.aspx
One note:
Download an updated Motorola USB driver, not the one in the URL.
This one is good:
http://www.motorola.com/Support/US-...tware_and_Drivers/USB-and-PC-Charging-Drivers
Version 5.4.0.
So after you have the SDK up and running on your PC and Motorola USB driver installed (and you do NOT need to touch your Xoom for that), it'll take you 3 min to unlock, flash custom recovery, and root.
Really not difficult.
Where do you guys see it for 249.99?
On their site its showing 319.99. :s
I've been trying to get one from Verizon with the contract price of $300 US, but they told me that it's no longer in production. ;/

Then install the latest (version 20 as of this writing) of the EOS ICS Nightlies. You won't regret it.

Capabilities of this type of device
Got mine its decent. Does anyone know if there will be very much development for this device.
I know they said they would put out some OTA updates and root was a possibility in the future.
This is my first device of this nature and I am clueless to any possibilities it may have. I know I like
to root any device I can and I'm hoping to do the same with this.
I'm just hoping their OTA updates fix the crashing, hell when some apps crash and it asks if you want to report it, the report crashes as well!
I ordered two of these. It is junk. Move along. Laggy and one of my units is broken. Company doesnt care. It is just a rebranded CX-01...
Well the last few comments are not encouraging.. Picking mine up on Thursday...
Anyone had an opportunity to try Plex on it yet? That was the main reason I bought it.

It looks to me like they do care quite a bit. They are answering all kinds of questions on the Kickstarter backer's page and on Facebook. I believe that they are working hard on an OTA update to be released very soon....At least I hope it's soon.
As for the broken one, have you emailed [email protected] with your concerns?

I bought mine for plex as well and no luck so far. It won't connect to my server despite every other android device I have being able to. Commenters on Kickstarter are reporting problems with it as well.
Got Root
I got this device rooted awhile back and downloaded some apps to help with
performance. It runs alot better now. I can't beleive they couldn't fix some of these
issues before it came out. I installed the beta updates they put out and it helped.
It seems like they don't want to give out the info needed for people to do developement
because they are afraid someone will get it up and running better then they can.
I'm just looking forward to running custom roms on this thing.
I've owned one of these, and also a bunch of the dual core sticks.
The Equiso is not worth the price. It is pretty much a cx-01 or c-77.
I found the video performance to be substandard.
I sold it for a loss after a week.
You can get a dual core for cheaper.
Even the original MK802(single core allwinner a10) is better.
If I had to buy a stick right now it would be the dual core MX1.
If I wanted to wait I would pick up the GK802 quad core stick(freescale soc!) or the uHost2 dual core stick.(more usb)
Let the buyer beware though! Check out everything you can before you buy!
Wow, that uhost2 looks really good. Would you happen to know of any good reliable retailers that have the Bluetooth capable one???

I received my pro two weeks ago. No image on my tv whatsoever. Tried on my friends brand new tv where it works. Imagine buying a dvd-player only to find out it is not compatible with your tv.... sucks.... no answer regarding update from the support either
Tried on another TV. Works but hängs and bootloops every time I connect to wifi or change video settings
Bought this tv stick at Wallmart
I have purchased this TV stick at Walmart the stock Rom is buggy until you root it and change the CPU governor. I have rooted it and removed the equiso update file from system/app now it doesn't pop up all the time which was kind of annoying. I have done some simple stuff to this TV stick and it works well I agree with the other post though this should of been done before it was released.

I'm here, my friend. Just waiting to see what devs do with this tab. It's lower-end, but it's snappy and feels premium. I hope we can get some CM action on this bad boy. Depends on the popularity, but I think the price point should help a lot.

Yea well it does have *slightly* better specs than the Prime, but the Prime was released in 2012. The price can't be beat, tho. I hope people flock to it.
I think part of the reason there's no one here is because you can't find this tablet anywhere but a few brick-and-mortar Best Buy stores right now. I can't find a single online retailer that lists it in their stock yet. Once it's widely available, this forum should fill up. For now, it's just you and me, I guess lol.

Wow. Can you post a guide?
Sure thing.
Here is towel root https://towelroot.com
Download the app a day run it, will give you root. After that download supersu from the market and run it.
Download xposed from here http://repo.xposed.info
I think latest stable is 2.6.1.
After that you can download the g3 tweak from the market. The g3 and 10.1 are very similar rom wise, I've been able go use some of the theme tweaks (every one tried has worked, but can't guarantee all of it works since it's for the g3)

I can confirm that this works. I even picked up an app from the play store that allows you to add any app to the duel windows. Ive wanted that function ever since i got this device! I havnt played with the framwork too much but seems to work.
I guess the only thing missing is a custom recovery. Any insight on that anybody?
BTW, towel root was the easiest root ever. One click app. No hooking up to a computer.

I wonder if LG threw in an encrypted boot loader on the tabs. Also I couldn't find any information on this but does the G Pad 10.1 support USB OTG? I plan on picking one up within the week and hopefully get a custom recovery going soon after.

Flex multi window mod
I got one and i rooted it with towelroot with no problem. Even installed flex multi window app and works fine. The only problem is that it doesn't support NTFS usb sticks. I don't have any FAT32 right now to try but i'll search if it's possible to add NTFS support.
coming soon my 7.0 !!
Can someone please see if you can enable Chromecast's screen mirroring after rooting the 10.1 by using the Mirror Enabler app?
I greatly appreciate it.
I just got the gpad 7.0 from att with the G3 bundle for 99cents. Im trying to decide if I want to keep it or return. The screen quality isn't all that great. I also couldn't root it with towelroot as it says its not supported. I wish there were more activity in the forums for the g pads too.
Update: I was able to successfully root the G Pad 7.0 At&t version using purpledrake. LG-V410
I got my mom a like new g pad 7.0 off ebay for nice price but didn't realize it's the At&T version. We are just going to use it with Wi-Fi. That shouldn't be a problem right?
also, is there a way to stop the pad from asking for sim card besides turning on airplane mode? thank you

Its in Chinese so what I did was just hit the green button till it showed a check mark then a blue bar popped up then I hit that then restarted my watch.
Then I saw an app called kinguser so I installed root explorer.
In addition to deleting apps from the system/app using root explorer you have to start in

WHERE TO BUY? guys (& girls) if you find a good seller, please share the details, as more people buy this watch, we get more support and hacks
I don't about the cheapest** site to buy, but DX.com seems like a safe place to buy and not too expensive, they accepts returns if a fault occurs.
** On AliExpress most sellers are selling clones as iMacwear M7, they are not iMacwear, be aware! However one can argue they are all clones, if you look in DX and GearBest they have similar ones, some are described as 1.3 Ghz, but these sites are not to be trusted.
Recovery?
Has anyone tried to put truesmart twrp 2.8.6.0 on their imacwear m7 using twrp manager?
iMacwear clone comparison
I know this thread is for the iMacwear, but just wanted to make sure people make an informed decision before buying. I found some interesting comparison with other clones on this thread from Jan 2015.
Also there are other clones which people have purchased:
Z01 which is 1.3 GHz, faster clock speed, and Android 4.2. $122 at the moment from DealsMachine. Z01 thread
AOKE Z15 - Android 4.0, but cheaper, but $112 from DX
There are loads more but these two have a thread or mention in XDA. The questions is why would you say that iMacwear M7 is better?. Here are the specs.
Updated
Update with how to for recovery and added pictures:good:
Hi, i'm thinking to buy this smartwatch but stilo struggling to understand in xda threads if it was updated to android 4.4 by the vendor or if One of the 4.4 omate TS firmwares available are supporter on it.
Moreover i'm intersted in smartphone companion app such ad SWAPp link ti get phone notifications on smartwatch, is it or any similar good app working on imacwear m7 on either the 4.2 or 4.4 versione?
And, furthermore, various specs are cinflicting in regards to sensors, FM radio and camera resolution: has it got proximity, compass, accelerometer, gravity and lightvsensors? FM radio yes or not? Is camera 5 or 3 MP interpolated? Is it possibile to unlock the screen with wirst movement if it has accelerometer/gravity sensor?

When buying ANY new watch battery, be very very careful of the the thickness of the battery.
1. Some sellers sell any generic battery to make money
2. If it's too thick even by few mm then it will damage the screen and watch.
Best to measure your current battery thickness very precisely (using a digital caliper if you have one) and after you have asked them to double check the thickness, measure it again when you have it before installing it.
Ok, very useful advise. I'll do so before installing any replacement battery in the watch.
My only issue at that time will be to find a caliper
Many thanks again simple1i.

Your welcome.
Once you have the new battery you should be able to compare the approx thickness using your fingers or by using a spirit-level, making sure the surface is level first.
