If you are looking for AOSP JB (like you would find on a nexus phone/tablet), your best bet would be to flash Paranoid Android ROM. it is based on Google's source, and you don't have to use the PA Settings.

About a month ago I noticed a story about an HP 7" tablet with decent specs, but it's low resolution screen and poor build quality made it weak competitor. So, I just found out that Walmart will be selling a Tegra 3 tablet with similar specs to the Nexus 7 for $150. The kicker is that it has a microSD slot, rear-facing camera AND HDMI out.

http://www.engadget.com/2013/05/23/hisense-sero-7-lt-pro-tablets/#continued

I was waiting for news about the follow-up to the Nexus 7, but with nothing on the horizon I'm tempted to check out one of these tablets. The ability to hook the tablet to my TV for gaming with a Bluetooth controller outweighs the fast Android updates. Especially it if manages to get some developer support.
[Android General] r00t4rd3d:
For $99 I might have to check one out.
[Android General] Luna_Sky:
Just recently heard about this and I am extremely intrigued by this tablet (Hisense Sero Pro is the one for $150).. I was considering riding it out for a new Nexus 7, have been tablet-less for a bit now, but it was not a huge priority for me as it seems that chance has slowed down. Seeing this tablet and the specs, for such a great price, seems too good to be true in a way. I am hoping some people are going to get their hands on it over the next few days and hear some reviews. That price tag and those specs are tempting me :laugh:
[Android General] Keion:
Few custom ROMs and unknown update frequency.
[Android General] Macmee:
I too feel the temptation, however imagine how you would feel if everyone upgraded to the new Nexus 7 with a full HD screen and you were stuck with a $150 device that was on par with the N7 minus the giant user base. I think those looking to upgrade should hold on for now.
[Android General] jaxboater:
Sd card

Being able to use a TV doesn't do anything for me but having the card reader built in..

This is something Nexus will likely never have.

I think the 7 inch size is just about perfect.

Now if I just had a reason to go to Wal Mart...

If I did & could check out one of these out.. there could go next week's lunch money.
[Android General] ED2O9:
Although... the name "Hisense Sero Pro" doesn't sound nearly as awesome as the infamous Ainol Fire. :)
[Android General] webdroidmt:
I just picked up the Pro for $150 beans but haven't opened it up yet. Wally gives you 15 days to return, so I'm gonna' see if the tab gets any XDA love. If it does, I'll still keep my N7 but give my Gtab 2 to my wife replacing an aging Nook Color.

I'm hoping that its similarity to N7 specs makes it easy to root and build roms. I don't even know if the bootloader is locked or not??? Hopefully, some people will start to buy it and we see some development feedback over the next few days. :laugh:

Looks like a pretty solid tab for the bucks and even if the current N7 comes down to about $150, if the Hisense gets any decent dev support, it will still be a good deal with the extra features that aren't available on the N7.

EDIT: In another thread, someone suggested giving motochopper a try for root. It looks like motochopper for the N7 doesn't unlock the bootloader, so you don't lose your data. But, who knows if it will work for the Hisense, maybe I'll give it a try if no other solutions materialize over the next few days. Stuff like this travels fast on the internet, so I'm optimistic. :D

[Android General] FitAmp:
Looks like a very good tablet for the price, has good features :) would definitely pick one up if I get a chance. It would make a very good present for my girlfriend as she always wanted something like a nexus 7
[Android General] Luna_Sky:
I am having no luck thus far finding a place locally that I could buy it.. It seems the Wally site is not even showing an option to buy it online, though it is listed on the site. If you get the chance to open it up soon and try it out, PLEASE share your thoughts with us if you are able to.
[Android General] webdroidmt:
As mentioned, I'm probably gonna' hold off on opening it for at least a few days. It looks like for the time being, Wally only has it available in-store. Maybe, they're waiting for more allocation from Hisense before they make it avail online. I guess I'm fortunate that I have 2 fairly large Walmart stores within a few miles of each other. Hopefully, you'll find one soon.

If you haven't already seen this, here's another XDA thread you can follow. I'm sure over the next few days, we'll see more people buying them, therefore, more info and hopefully...ROOT! :good:

Local Walmarts have them. BUT. They keep them "in the back" for some reason and had none on display. Be persistent and it might help to take along a model number and UPC. Crazy good deal so far.

As I mentioned in a previous post, my local Walmart had them in display cases with other tabs. I guess as usual, YMMV.

Nothing but the Nexus brand for me for as long as I'm with Android. Never used the HDMI on my Iconia and I only used the back camera like 5 times in 2 years. Though I think I'd get this to replace my mother's aging Nook Color. No need to spend extra money on shipping for something that she wouldn't notice.
[Android General] the orange bandit:
As someone mentioned earlier - having the SD card is something that a Nexus device is extremely unlikely to ever have, so if there's at least root, I'm probably in for this one.

I'm testing an AT&T Galaxy S 4 right now (coming from my Nexus 4....) and it's a work device, so I can't root. I've actually been impressed with things I'm able to do nowadays without needing root. The only things I'm hating is the notification drawer garbage and ability to use custom lockscreen shortcuts like I have on CM10.1. Other than that, I've been able to do everything I need to get it to look pretty much like my Nexus 4 does. Oh, and being unable to remove the AT&T and Samsung crapware are a pain, too.
[Android General] ilanad:
I bit the bullet and picked one (the PRO) up today sight unseen.

Holy Crap.

It's a SOLID build, feels good, LOOKS GOOD. Pretty much Pure Google. It does have a Sams and Walmart app on it (which can be EASILY uninstalled). stuck in a 64gb card and.. wow. Oh, incase you wonder, the extra button on the screen... screen shot button.

This is a winner. Just need to find a case for it (It's a TINY bit wider and longer than the N7)
[Android General] pjfranke:
Box UPC

In case anyone else is having trouble with their local walmart looking this up, the actual UPC on the box is: 854098003418

The "Walmart Product Code" (551515189) from Walmart.com came up in their scanner at my local store, sort of, but didn't actually tell if they had any inventory or not. The clerk was nice enough to unlock and check the cases without me needing to ask. They had 4 BTW, 3 now, in Coralville, IA.
[Android General] ilanad:
This one was in the case, right next to the Nexus 7's and 10's (irony thy name is WalMart) about 15 of the LT and 8 or 9 PRO. Now anyone know of a case that will fit?

Additional irony, stack of Nexus 7 chargers (hi power ones, with usb cable) clearance out at $10.
[Android General] XDA Dark:
Just checked it and YouTube it. Looks very nice and all. Nice specs and price (Pro one). I would buy the Pro one if I didn't already have my Nexus 7. With that HDMI, I'll be killing hard in DeadZone on my big led tv. Ty and bookmarked.

I'm suspicious... Just bec the specs are similar, doesn't mean it's Asus or Google quality.

Walmart sells cheap TV's that might look good on paper, but they aren't going to be nearly the equivalent quality of a Samsung or Sony TV w/ similar specs.

[Android General] bsoplinger:
OTOH, just because it's a no name made in China product doesn't mean it's junk although even I'd say it's much more likely. After all most of the tech inside isn't new and the company isn't recouping any research costs nor dealing with a huge ad budget either. So something with the same abilities as the Nexus 7 with HDMI and MicroSD but without GPS for $50 less doesn't seem to me to be much of a stretch.

Do they have audio in for irig recording application?
[Android General] lewmur:
The cheaper, $99 model, might be a good choice as an "entry level" tablet. But I bought my N7 for $180 and this forum alone would be worth the extra $30. There is no XDA forum for Hisense.
[Android General] michaelg1030:
The tablet was just released....I'm sure in a weeks time it will have its own forum. The tablet basically popped up out of no where, but it is already getting some great support.

But I can agree with you the extra premium you paid for the Nexus is probably worth the support it receives. Its just nice that the Nexus 7 has a competitor.
[Android General] lewmur:
The problem with that theory is that another cheap tablet hits the market every other day. The fact that this one is being sold by Walmart might give it a chance to succeed, but I doubt it.
[Android General] gc84245:
True, but cheap tablets don't even come close to this spec wise. I think it will be popular, and if it's popular it will be supported.

Sent from XDA app
[Android General] htcfan85:
I agree with this too. I've seen a ton of those cheap tablets, not in person, but on YouTube videos. None of them ran nearly as smooth as this one did and even when compared to the Nexus 7, the reviewer could not see differences in the screen and performance unless he looked really closely. Plus, this comes with the added benefit of coming with a micro sd card expansion. If you can get a 64 GB card for about 50, then you would have paid about the same amount except you would have 72 gigs to play with!
[Android General] lewmur:
I paid a couple of bucks for an OTG cable and using that I can connect my 1tb USB HDD to my N7. Try finding a 1tb SD card.
[Android General] jeeps13:
Sounds like fun running around with a hard drive and cables . You can argue all you want this device is not for you, point made. I like it more than my galaxy or kindle. But only time will tell. I kind of like the cheap screen seems like it would take a hit.

Yes, but who wants to lug around an external hard drive, especially when one of the best features of the Nexus 7 is portability.

Earlier someone asked about audio in (microphone input) and I'm curious to know also whether it has this. I've seen enough reports that it has GPS so that's about the only "missing" feature on the tablet as far as my list of concerns.

So the expandable SD slot using something like app2sd is useless for memory expansion? The pro(n7 equivalent) comes with 8gb and BT
[Android General] bsoplinger:
You can use FolderMount (search for app thread here at XDA for more info) to create a link between a location on internal memory and the SD card and force the files to get stored on the card. It replaces the older DirectoryBind app that no longer works on Android 4.2+ due to the security changes added. You can also use link2SD to move apps themselves to the SD card.

Edit: Was trying to describe 2 things at once and mistakenly mentioned link2SD in place of DirectoryBind. Corrected and described both apps correctly.

This thread is humorous. Bottom line, its not a nexus. It may be a decent tab, but a nexus is a nexus. Google's flagship. Always here to compete with the latest and greatest. Nexus products will always be the cornerstone of Google and android. A sure bet. Everything else is hit or miss.

The end. ;)

Oh.....this particular tab will never have near the xda activity, and you will wait forever for android updates. If you get any. Keep that in mind.

[Android General] ED2O9:
Wow! I thought Apple fan boys were delusional. Where were you when everyone was screaming about the poor build quality of the Nexus 7, especially regarding screen separation? How about when the latest update screwed up Bluetooth for over a month? Remember when Nvidia demonstrated the gaming capabilities of the Tegra 3 when connected with an HD TV, then Google drops the ball on us when we find out that the Nexus 7 doesn't support Miracast (or even an HDMI MHL adapter)? I bought my Nexus 7 last August and I've been very happy with it, but I've never felt that I was holding the absolute pinaccle of Android technology.
[Android General] dutchman71:
Oh, and if you don't care about all that it's still a GREAT current tablet at an amazing price
[Android General] :
Well, buy a no name tab and see how it works for you! Lol

I bought my n7 32gb less than 6 months ago....so I've seen none of the things you speak of quality wise.

I use my phone for Bluetooth, so I didn't care about any issues there.

And I use my laptop for any HDMI needs, so no issue there.

I can see those being issues for some people tho, so I agree with you on all that.

But still, no name is no name. You will probably never see an android update for them. And the dev section....if it ever even has one....will be very very limited.

That's all I was saying. ;)

The answer is, its a very cheap no name brand tab that will never have much support....and will probably be a nightmare if it ever needs to be repaired or exchanged. And will probably never see an android version update. Many people said all this , but some people bought it anyway.

Bottom line...you get what you pay for. The exception being nexus products....with them you get much more than you paid for. :)
