Many issues

I don't like this tablet.

Market problem

No Android Market / Google Play

It doesn't have Android Market nor Google Play officially. Of course it can unofficially be installed, but that doesn't fix the compatibility of applicaltions.

Amazon Market

[Leader Interational INC], the author of this tablet, suggests installing Amazon Market in one of the papers which come with this device. This has a problem that you must give credit card details even with free applicaltions. I don't have credit card!

F-Droid

F-Droid is the solution for this problem. It describes itself as "an easily-installable catalogue of FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) applications for the Android platform.".

Application compatibility

I am experiencing many issues with different applicaltions on this tablet. Luckily F-Droid clearly tells where the issue trackers and homepages are.

I will list them in them in table below

Why "Fix in F-Droid"? It's the only market, which I have found correctly working on this device.

ADB logcat doesn't work.

1. I have plugged the USB cable.
2. USB debugging reports to be on.
3. Device detects the cable.
4. I have tested ADB with another device and it worked.

It's good that at least alogcat works. I haven't tested other features of adb yet.

What happens when I run it? Nothing as you can see below.

% adb logcat
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
- waiting for device -

Something works :)

Games

I tried installing some games from F-Droid and for some reason they all work. Below there is another table of games which I installed and what I thought about them.
