Hi everybody! I am looking for helping answers related to my newly purchased 10" internet tablet Overmax OV-TB-09B with 1.2 GHZ Cortex CPU running Android ICS 4.03.
The tablet is great, but it doesn't offer 3G and Bluetooth conectivity by itself. Therefore I am looking for a suitable compatible 3G USB modem, as well as a Bluetooth USB dongle with the associate ddrivers.
Therefore please can someone give me some recommendations? Thank you!

how is it? your tablet? i think the response for your problem is... you can buy a new phone with android os and you can turn tethering option on your phone and then your tablet see your phone as a hotspot wifi. Btw i saw that you are from Bucharest, im from Timisoara.

Thank you ozambaretzo, glad to hear that you are from Timisoara, very nice city with very nice people over there!
There is another more convenient work around consisting in using a 3G wifi modem (hot spot), I have tested it and it works. But I was looking for a true 3G USB modem that I find more conveneint for me.
Coming back to my initial question, I think I know now the right answer for it: it is not easily possible to use a 3G usb modem or usb buetooth dongle as long as the corresponding Android drivers are not incorporated in the kernel by the manufacturer.
Even more, in case somebody would like to cook its own ROM, the respective Android drivers are not available on the market at all.
Anyway, I am not at all familiar with Android, but I think I recall that I have installed printer drivers in Linux, I expect this to be similar in Android.
Why is it not possible to run an apk that is installing a driver in the OS as long as the tablet is rooted?
Could somebody please explain in general terms this problem with Android? Thank you!
I have an overmax ov-tb-09c tab and i can't identify its originial manufacturer... i tried all of the methods, what i know (very much google search, google translate, overmax support and still no answer
i need to know it, because i want to root it and flash cwm and (if possible) CM10...
i know, that overmax only rename chinese tablets, so i found only polish forums so far...
i can't root it, even if superuser.apk is pushed to system...
do anybody have idea?

Indeed no idea on how to find the original manufacturer...
The tablet is sold on the market already rooted, you should run Root Checker Basic (freeware) on it and see if it becomes green....Superuser got installed all right on my tablet.

I got this tablet with JB, and this software wasn't rooted, root checker basic was red... but i found the only way: zhuodashi
this program installed SuperSU on my tab and this method worked

Hi fecooo! Very interesting this Overmax of yours with JB!!! Are you sure that it is the same model as in this thread, i.e. OV-TB-09B? I got mine with ICS 4.03 and so it was probably the whole imported batch. In which country did you buy this Overmax OV-TB-09B? Definitely I would be interested in getting the stock JB image that is loaded on your tablet! Any link you know available somewhere please?
Could you please post a picture of the screen showing your OS and kernel version? Or PM it to me, please.

Never heared of this "zhuodashi" program, it would be great to post a relevant link to it. Of course I can also google for it or do a search on this forum, but you know best what you are talking about.
Did this program also open-up your bootloader, any idea about that?
In my case, although the tablet was routed, the bootloader was blocked. In your case if the tablet was not rooted, than probably the bootloader is open, allowing you to install another ROM image, stock or customized, as you please.
Looking forward for your answers and then I will ask you about modems.

i'm hungarian and i bought in auchan
zhuodashi is only in chinese language, the only word what i can read, root (in english)
this program installs on your phone 2 apps, maybe spy, but i don't know... i only know that this method rooted my tab!
i don't know, how can i see if my tablet has open or locked BL.
i have a globetrotter hsxpa 3g modem (t-mobile, old...) and no luck, didnt recognised... (so i'm afraid i can't help you about modems...)
ZhuoDaShi-2.2.9-setup
this version, what I downloaded...
i don't know all abilities of the app, but really useful can be with a well-known (LG,samsung, etc...) android device! (custom roms, etc...)
stock image of this rom can be dl-ed from overmax.pl (but be careful, i don't know the difference between the two versions... except the accumulator, my tab has 4000mA)

Great, thank you for the answer.
For making almpst any modem run on the tablet you need to install PPP Widget application from the Google play market, but I have no idea if it runs with JB4.1. It does OK on the ICS4.03.
On your picture it looks like (I can't read it well on that picture) your model of Overmax is OV-TB-09C, correct? Does it have a rear video camera? I know from a Romanian forum that somebody has installed this C-model software on a B-model tablet and the rear camera doens't work, but the rest is OK.
On the B-model the battery is claimed to be of 6000mAh, but I don't know if this is true.
The B-model has no Bluetooth, how about your C-model?

After connecting the modem, give him like 20-30 sec to be recognized, then click in the middle of the ppp widget icon and a drop down window will open where you have to see the name of your modem and select it. Then you need to click on the Configure button just below the ppp widget icon and a specific confiration window will open up. Fill in the specific APN info of your provider, but take care where it says Access Point Name on the first line write the APN info (eg internet.vodafone.ro) and not the conventional name of the APN (e.g. Vodafone).
Good luck with it!
Please let us know the news on your progress!

About identifying the original manufacturer, I recall that I have once installed a while ago the wifi application called WiFi Key Recovery (free on the Google play), which was showing on the top line the type of my tablet:
Device: crane_a1002jhakai crane-a1002jhakai
Unfortunately, still I wasn't able to identify the true Chinese manufacturer.
You might want to try this on your tablet and share with us your findings.....

thanks, i found these information too (in build.prop), and a similar (or counterfeit...) turkish tablet, named Piranha Business Tab, but i can't find new informations, only a turkish program on the official website to flash updates, but i didn't try it...

Hi fecooo, any progress in your endeavour to identify the original manufacturer?
I have been flashing the C-model software on my B-tablet and it's installing JB4.1.1. Unfortunately there are some differences: the rear camera is not working (wrong driver?) showing just stripes all over the picture, the task manager is missing completely and most of all the tablet is not rooted any more. Not that I couldn't root it thanks to your tip with zhuodashi, but I've reverted back to the original ICS 4.03, it's not that bad.
I am looking forward for a new release of Overmax, but in the past week they have removed any download from their website, I guess that they are preparing new software for upload. We'll see what will be coming up......Maybe also a hint towards the original manufacturer.....

hi!
sorry for the late answer :S
i give up, i cant identify :S
yes, i saw that they removed the updates, and uploaded some "new" versions... (these are the same from 18.12.2012 -.-' )
now i use JB with stable options, the only problem what i wanted to solve, the incompatibility in play store, but still no success
I tried "Allwinner mod" from play store, this change build.prop but i still can't install a single angry birds from store... annoying that we need to download almost everything from external source...
Have you tried to change build.prop to see more apps in play store?

Hi fecooo, soryy for my delay in answering you, I do not visit this site frequently.
As for my Overmax, it is running ICS 4.0.3, therefore I did not meet the problems that you are facing. But I did not know either about build.prop, so I will try to look into it one of these days...
Sorry for not being of much help.....
