shipping took like 10 business days, no customs or duties, tracking number provided.


Just plug the OTG cable (which came with your Aurora) in the tablet's mini USB port, and plug the USB cable you use to charge the controller in the other end of the OTG cable. It doesn't use Bluetooth so the controller has to stay plugged into the tablet. :datazz:

been doing my research on all these chinese pads, the ainol fire has a lot of problems going on with right now

ainol itself seems to have a lot of problems

the best tablets I have read about are the window n70, window n90, window n101, and the pipo m1


amazon fire just unveiled the kindle fire hd at $200 which is very competitive and it will rival the nexus 7, the 16gb comes out next friday

im gonna wait till next week to make my decision on a tablet, i want to see if apple crushes the buildings next week with their ipad mini

Why are you buying something you're going to hack right out the box to even use it ?

the ainol aurora 7 nova ii has no problems, i did research as well friend. I've had mine for almost 2 months no issues at all, running double stuff custom mod, watching netflix through hdmi:smugdraper:, 1080p vids:smugdraper:, playing max payne with my ps3 controller on the 42 inch plasma:smugdraper:

for 115 bucks, oh yeah expandable memory got a 32 gig microsd card in it sa well, if you know what your doing installing custom roms which is easy ( i have a hp touch pad as well) its a blast.


i got my playbook for 175, my hp touchpad for 150 and my ainol for 115

i use my ainol more than the other 3, and hte ips screen is amazing

you don't have to hack it number 1.

this is what the double stuff rom does

Repacked 0717

GAPPS
US branding (to fix Google Play and Currency issues.)
129 MB Footprint
Nexus 7 Fingerprint
Deodexed

Chinese apps deleted
Guided first time
gTalk video chat

it literally takes 2 minutes of just throwing files on a microsd card and popping it into your tablet and then loading into recovery and installing.


you don't have to "hack it" and you'll still get a functioning tablet, the same with my hp touchpad, i have android on it, dont use web os.


and yeha the ipad is cool and all but the ipad is 500 bucks:huhldup:


for all 3 of my tablets didn't come up that price and my tablets are dope:jawalrus:

if the ipad was 150 bucks id cop, but at 500-600 bucks? when i can get a fast, dual core tablet with android, hdmi out, a ips screen, google play store for 115 bucks?
