Id like to ask everyone the following:

- who does still own the device?
- who does still use it?
- who has ever tried modding it?
- who has ever tried recompiled JB source code for it?

thanks
Fabio

Still have this but my touch screen stopped working after 2 weeks of usage, flash bunch of things nothing worked, can't even use a mouse with OTG adaptor(since my latest flash)

I did pay 150 euros when I bought this crap :D

I've got a tablet with intel atom and I'm happy about it(it runs anything that my pc does) but it's a bit slower compare to my pc-beast :P

-My girlfriend owns it.
-she use it primarily for reading now.
-no modding, just basic rooting
-no, it already has froyo 2.2

The device works fine, it is fast, except that the touchscreen fails from time to time, in that moment re-calibrating the screen usually fix it.

Its a pitty that this china device didn't get at least JB update properly working, without bugs, it will definitely bring it to actual usefulness.

thanks

Don't have the device anymore, but would enjoy if products similar to it would be on the market.
EV2 tablet had excellent number of peripheral ports: mini pci-e, GPS UART, fast eMMC.

Try to find a tablet where you could fit in normal sized mini pci-e card nowdays.

You are lucky, my touchscreen just died after a week owning it(use it less than 2 hours in total) :P

I do have it.
It does work . no malfunctions.
I do not use it... Its main problem is ram. 512mb is way too low. And 2nd problem is random cpu bugs which lead to hangs. That looks like been solved with enabling some arm's erratas , but that lead to some performance degradation (memory bandwidth).
I did try to mod the fw,I did compile the sources by Flavio. Added some kernel modules , for xposed traffic monitor to work and something else. Do not remember.
Jb works but low ram kills the useability.

Hi, My touchscreen stopped, I disassembled it.
It is sad. I really liked it.
It was fast. Now I own a Banana Pro and it's much like it on processor side, but the tablet was more compact and autonomous (even with its glitches).
