[Q] New to G Tablet - G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi!
I recently orderer a G tablet on amazon.com, since I live in Holland.
I'm completely new to tablets and would like your opinion on what to do best first, since the original software seems to suck!
Can anyone help me by, for example, giving me the best software solution and an easy tutorial on how to put it on the device?
Thanks!

[Q] bluetooth pairing issue

Anyone out explain the issue with the bluetooth pairing on this thing. I've tried to pair a couple different phones but no cigar. I looked all over this forum to see if there was a fix but haven't seen a solution only other complaints. When I flash to a new ROM will that fix the poblem? If not how? What did you guys do?
Are you trying to use stock rom? Most people here have no idea how stock rom performs with most functions.
You might want to visit my page gtab for dummies.
Awesome website!
I checked out your web site earlier today from the reply you gave me last night on some other stuff. I can't tell you enough how appreciated this site is. I read every last word of each section and have a much better understanding. I would like to have a better understanding of each ROM. Like what would make me choose one over another? They have to be reasons to pick one over another. What does one do that the others don't? On your web site a brief description of each one could help us dummies know which one would serve our needs better. It's just an idea that could cut down on future questions. I love the site and will be visiting often. Thanks for all of that effort GoodIntentions!
Good idea.
Pros and cons
I thought about this a bit more. Maybe a list of the pros and cons for each ROM could help. If I knew the down side for each ROM it would definitely push me in one direction or another.
I agree with the Pros and Cons idea, I'm in the process of trying to work one up, but alas its seems my knowledge has become slightly outdated don't you hate that? Running CM7, I've got lots of cons but compared to what I had before I stuck with it. Switching to VeganTab I'll let you know how that goes but I'm thinking it may be a permanent switch.
I've never had any trouble pairing with my phone with the roms I tried. Make sure your gtab is visible.

Official Initial Thread: Malata Zpad T8/T8-3G (Roms/Questions/Developments)

Hello,
Since there is many random threads but nothing is official. I am opening one official thread so all concerns about this great tablet can be questioned and answered here
Go Go Go!
1) Anyone knows how soon custom Android 3 / Honyecomb Rom expected to be released for T8?
2) I dont get it...for a week i got convinced by web that T8 as newest model more advanced, better...etc...then T2. So i spent today online 600$ + 49USD DHL express to get this beast as good investment for long time (assuming its best tablet with power which can handle long term demands...)
Now some weird finding...
ZPAD T2:
Under web sote of MALATA!
They say: hardware 3D acceleration
BUT on ZPAD T8 they say nothing about 3D:
in other hand both says Tegra 2 T20....
Confusing and frustrating....
Please help me understand what i am missing here
Other question, Since no one was willing attach GPS module with t8-3g i ordered...Any one knows if I can use GPS usb dongle from dealextreme as GPS for t8-3g?
Thanks!

One subscriber more here.
As soon as I heard still is not built the GPS model, anyway in my case I bought a Bluetooth antena cost 60€ aprox (was not the cheapes one) and I installed blue4gps and I got it running perfectly, I'm realy suprised as is sincronasing satelites and having and amazing coverage all better than my tomtom wich I payes one year ago 250€ per it.
I got some small problem with google market as I can not get a lot of aplications from there, but downloading from a diferent place are running perfectly.
Of course you need to delete a lot of things and install some other but as I expected before order my ztab T8.
What I really miss is to have phone functions included on the phone in order to run some app like whatsup or make a direct call from a website from isntance.
Another big thing I miss and I hope someone will help me is that I was not able to install voice search (google) is giving me a error during isntallation and not able to make it work.
Really I'm more interested into have 2.3 than 3.0 as sure are more aplications for it, 3.0 I guess is still too early to be interesting.
I already downloaded a 2.3.4 rom from Ezpad but I think is not working for 3G or something should be done for make it run and as I don't have it clear because of the bad translations from google or babelfish I still had not tested.
Also want some info if someone already installed CWM, in any case I installed titunium backup and made a update.zip of my app to restore it easily if is the case...
3D aceleration.... I had once one error telling me was not 3D aceleration and not allowing me to instal sygic, later one I download it from a diferent place and I'm running the latest version without problem, just a comment... amazing street navitation presentation, what a grafics....
for rooting just install Z4root.
Thats all for now folks, hope to join more people and share experience for getting profit of this great tablet.
Just one think I bout it for about 350€ shipping included from hotmid.com without leathercase and screen protector neither, If somebody is thinking on buyiing this model I strongly recomend try to get some goot price from them as I was not able to get it cheaper anywhere.
Regards
David

[Q] What to do with a New Viewsonic G Tablet?

I just picked up a brand new Viewsonic G Tablet, I heard that if these tablets are properly tweaked with the right software then they are right up there if not above any other high end tablet available. I am pretty new to tablets so I am looking for some help with what I need to do to get the most out of my new equipment. Step by step would be very appreciated. Thanks for any help offered.

Upgrading an Azpen A1040

Hello everyone. I recently inherited an Azpen A1040, which came with KitKat (4.4.2) preinstalled. According to a link at CoolTechLine, which I can't include because this is my first XDA post, there’s a Marshmallow ROM available for the A1040.
Unfortunately, the only way to access said ROM is to complete a series of surveys, or agree to be involved in various retail promotions. As interested as I am in the ROM, I’m in no hurry to do either.
With all that said, I have two questions I’m hoping somebody can help me with.
1) Assuming the ROM is legitimate, does anyone know where else I can download it? I couldn’t find it on Azpen’s website.
2) If not, perhaps there’s a ROM from another manufacturer I could use? From what I can tell, this exact tablet, which is likely manufactured by a third party, is also offered by other, low cost tablet/phone companies.
Thank you for reading this.
