DWAYN3 you are actually running the EPAD rom on the Maylong M-150 without any problems?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] DWAYN3:
no problems at all..... will try and provide video proof later today.

Price increase

The device went up $30 since yesterday.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ChairmanPlow:
I think I'm going to have to look into getting one of these..... :D
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Sirchuk:
Bah, that sucks that the price went up. 30% is a steep increase.

I should have pulled the trigger when it was $100. Oh well.

I'm sure there are going to be some awesome black Friday deals though.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] chnky18:
for those that already received your orders, was it shipped via usps, ups or fedex and did you ever get a tracking number?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] goyjuss:
When I placed my order I tried to get an expedited shipping but the option was not available. I'm thinking this thing might be coming in through USPS.

I have not received a shipping confirmation at all, just and estimated delivery date.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Tautvydas:
DWAYN3, could you provide info upon those functions:

1.How about viewing pdf's and other most popular doc types?

2.How's the web surfing? Is it sluggish/etc.

3.Video Play. How it runs most popular video formats like .mkv , maybe you've tried some 480p video or even 720p?

4. Communication programs, like fring, is it sluggish?

If you could post it in your video (or just write it down here), it would be AWESOME. All the people who wants to buy it would get some knowledge about it's basic functions.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] nogdolan:
Which download did you use? the 250M or the 128M?:confused::D
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] DWAYN3:
The one I used was 256M
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] DWAYN3:
1. I am using Documents To Go app

2. Web surfing is decent for the price

3.I have watched som flv & mp4 on it

4. haven't tried any of those

what I can tell you is after the root from that site it does more and function better than before.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] goyjuss:
Any luck with getting some video of this in action?

Maybe some screenshots or pictures from another device.

I ordered at the store, provided my email address and then received a confirmation email with a UPS tracking number. Ordered on the 17th and arrived on the 25th, although UPS kept it in their warehouse from 10/22 at 02:39 until 05:00 on 10/25. This was lame but it was a ground shipment so eh.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] rixsaw:
I ordered mine last Friday, received shipped confirm. and tracking number on the following Monday but nothing show up at UPS tracking till Tuesday. There has not been any tracking update, and no ETA at all. Hopefully it will be on my door step when I get home from work.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] zaxondis:
Hey DWAYN3, I notice the download link for the ROM on the forum you posted is dead, do you happen to have the ROM file you can share? Getting mine soon and and definitely trying this. Thanks in advance!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] chnky18:
just called walgreens and they told me that the order is still processing and once it is shipped i will get a track number. I ordered this thing on tuesday so kind of surprised it hasnt shipped yet. And seeing how its friday, Im sure monday is the earliest it will ship :(
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] eleme:
There's a newer v0.4 rom, as well as a alpha 2.1 rom.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] zaxondis:
Thanks for pointing that out, clicked the wrong link, I see the latest ones. Now to get the darn thing in the mail....
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] rixsaw:
Thanks for taking the first step for the rest of us to follow. Much appreciated.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Ishman:
Just want to verify. Are you using this one 1.988 v0.3k for 256M Epad (Which is not 2.1) or using the CoburnROM v0.1 Alpha - Android 2.1 for your ePad. (which is known to have trouble.)

Thanks

Ishman
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] DWAYN3:
I have tried both, but I am sticking with 1.988 until the bugs are worked out of the other one (the bugs were minor, but not chancing it).
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] zaxondis:
Just out of curiosity:

Do you have a recovery image on it like Clockworkmod or Amon_Ra? Can you do a nandroid backup and such?

I'm going to try installing Clockworkmod myself and see if it takes when I get the tablet and would love to run a nandroid backup on it before installing any ROMs. Having bricked devices in the past, I want to mitigate my risk even with the awesome $99 price tag.

Thanks again for sharing and taking the first leap. As soon as I get mine, I'll be updating as well.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] wiiplay:
Hey DWAYN3,

I wanted to know if you could please provide a step by step how to for newbies like myself. I went to the [ROM] EPAD 256M and 128M 1.9_88 rooted v0.3 WORKING MARKET FROM FLASH link but since im totally cluless with the rooting process I would be much in debt if you could help out.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Smib:
Instructions have been posted already. They are also at the link he provided.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] wiiplay:
I am so mad walgreens killed the sale and they bumped the price back up to $130. On top of that they are the only ones selling the darn thing. What a rip off they are profeting from it like crazy.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jammallnyte:
Just called, i ordered it wed night and still nit shipped. Walgreens said it shiuld on monday

Wiiplay; it was on sale in their flyer. Said right on the site what the regular price was and that the $99 was a salw price. Thats why i jumped on it cause it was ending.

Maylong M 150 rooted video

I have heard from other sites that Maylong said this is not possible...... well here is the proof, unedited. Setcpu did have an error during this video because I am trying to get every bit of processor speed I can out of this. here it is... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qo4jhzeQVTA

Thank you!! Thank you!! Thank you!!

Looks a little laggy, but for $99 dollars it looks very promising.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] elmonica:
Hi this may be dumb question but I am new to rooting a device and still have old tracfone.

Don't I need to download the Android 2.1 OS to my microSD card before performing these steps?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] wiiplay:
Hi peaple I wanted to know if anyone else had attempted to root their Maylong M-150?

I also wanted to know if anyone has encountered any bugs so far.

Any suggestions on how much you can overclock the cpu using Setcpu?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] dirtyriffs:
What did you hear from other sites that wasn't possible? Rooting or running Android 2.x?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jmartcougar:
does this thing do standby? it sucks that I have to pay 30 buck extra but now that its rooted im definitely getting one

Android Market Work

Does the android market work well on the rooted M-150.. also, is that thing where you can't swipe one or or another when looking through application a continuous issue that you fight with?? Thanks.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] myriam53:
Sorry for my silly question, but I see 2 files, 128 and 256. Do you choose one or have to use both, one after the other?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] anotherdroid:
gotta read the whole thread, broseppi. dude was asked and he answered "256". sit in the corner ;)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] DWAYN3:
Android market does work.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Smib:
I would imagine the crappy swiping would be an ongoing problem as it's most likely caused by the resistive touch screen.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Memphius:
Dear guys/girls,

I followed the thread since Engadget gave the startoff. I was wondering if the following, what I understood, is correct.

Walgreen offers a Maylong M-150 Android OS 1.6 tablet on their website for the price of 99,- (now 130,-). This is the branded version of the pad on DealExtreme (SKU 42070) which is on sale for 107,70 with free shipping.

Users of the Maylong M-150 ought to get the "EPAD 256M 1.9_88 rooted v0.3 WORKING MARKET FROM FLASH" ROM onto the device and were successful. The rooted maylong M-150 can be rooted and '?can get Android 2.1?'.

Since the Maylong M-150 is a branded version of the one selled on DealExtreme, their almost exactly the same and the ROM will work on this device too.

Am I missing anything? Am I incorrect? Please correct me!

I'm summaring this because I think I might buy one, but the Maylong is not an option, since Walgreen only ships to US costumers and I'm an outsider ;) ~As the finishing touch, God created the Dutch!~ So DealExtreme seems the only option.

thanks
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Smib:
I'm not someone that would know for sure, but I will say that I have the same understanding.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] dirtyriffs:
From what I gathered everything you said is correct. Except the Android 2.1 upgrade. I've read that the hardware might not handle 2.1. Maybe someone else knows for sure.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] zaxondis:
Thanks for posting, this looks extremely promising. Can't wait to try it out on mine.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] zaxondis:
Thanks for this video as well. Looks like for the price this will be worth it to use as a simple web browsing/e-reading device.

We'll see if we can't get it to move at bit faster. I'm going to reach out to some folks I know who create kernels and see if they have some tips on how to speed this thing up.

As soon as I get it, I'll add more info to this thread.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] danobegood:
That's cool. I think I'm pretty much gonna use this thing as an XBMC remote. As well, I'll learn as much as possible on android development and programming as I can and use this as the defacto base hardware for any apps I learn to create. So, anything that you can post in reference to the latter would be awesome.

Thanks,

Dano

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] eleme:
They said the same thing about the G1 and Froyo... and btw you CAN get 2.1 on this tablet. :D

With enough support (from XDA :D) someone will probably figure out how to get 2.2 init. Too bad its stuck with that resistive screen. :(
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] applerulez12:
Just wanted to add

Heck you can run 2.2, but its buggy.

anyone have a discount code that works?

Can somebody post a good quality video on the maylong tablet i want to see it before i get it, please don't show me the old videos. :)

This site is cool. I am awaiting my M150 so I have read the entire thread in preparation. Never rooted before, but I own a DroidX and Droid2 so I am at least familiar with the O.S. I ordered it on the 28th and have not received any shipping notice yet.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] rcash:
I think walgreens wasn't ready for the amount of people who would going to order this tablet. I order mines on Oct 25th couple of days later got credit back the amount into my bank account. So I call walgreens to see what happen I was told it was still in process. So I let a day go by I call again I was told it was return by ups "huh" return? because ups doesn't ship to my address :confused: I was piss :mad:! So the lady help me reorder it again with the same order number??? :confused: weird than she said I should receive a email with a confirm number. The next day no email so I call again this time I wasn't getting off the phone until I got answers :mad: of what going on. I told to the supervisor who was real nice (plus wrote down her name just in case) she told me what happen was the amount was on hold than it drop off so Tuesday which is tomorrow is the day my card will be charge again plus the maylong m 150 will be ship out because it take 3 to 7 process days I should be receiving a email with a ups tracking number. We will see I have order things online before but not like this where they put the money back into your account. I would like to thank everyone for providing a lot of information about this tablet! :) well appreciated :D! If tomorrow I do not receive a email I will call up walgreens and cancel my order unless they offer a overnight shipping sad to say walgreens lost my business. Sorry for the long story just had to vent hopefully no one else is having the same problem. Thank you
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] dirtyriffs:
Yeah I have seen that post about the 2.1 Alpha. IM not so sure that it will run effectively in this tablet, but that would be sweet.

I was told Froyo wouldnt run on my Droid Eris either, but I'm running it now. So I guess you never know.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] danobegood:
So I searched on ebay and found this. Looks very similar, just that it has a 10" screen and is half the walgreens price

For those who are waiting for your unit:

I ordered mine on 10/22, and received a tracking number on 10/26 (weekend delay). The unit wasn't actually shipped until today with an ETA of 11/4. Hopefully this means they just got a new shipment and you guys don't have to wait as long as I have.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] pegb856:
I am also thinking about ordering one of these. Has there been anyone reporting having this rooted and running 2.1 besides the one person? I've seen alot of inquiring posts about the steps to do it but have not seen any real results posted. Am I missing something, I thought I read this whole thread?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] smockonallama:
I ordered mine exactly a week ago now on Tuesday Oct 26. I have received no communication from Walgreens.com and no tracking number. It still reports back as in process.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] mcocorochio:
Put me down as a success at rooting. I got my unit a week ago Monday just to learn about Android. I was planning on getting one from a mainstream vendor eventually, but wanted to know what to look for.

After a week my single biggest complaint was lack of Android Market (this will be a deal breaker for me if a mainstream vendor does not have Market - Hear that Archos?).

For me, the image went according to plan. I accepted that I could be 'bricking' this thing, but without the Market it was no loss. There is a person on mobileread.com who is having a problem booting to the new ROM. I suggested he reformat the SD card and try again.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] pegb856:
So did you get the Market working on the tablet? Also how are you liking it so far?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] FredOak3:
Still waiting too

Ordered mine on the 27th and same thing "In Process"

I'm having a sinking feeling demand exceeded stock and it's either going to be a hurry up and wait forever or a we're sorry but item no longer available.

I was curious too if someone just tried to add a vending.apk to the stock tablet and see if the market came up.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] mcocorochio:
Market working just great. Google wants the Market restricted to 'real' phones. They are trying to control quality, I think. For example, some applications are formatted funny for our 7" screens.

The other piece of misinformation kicking around is that this is ROM is Android 2.1. It is actually a very impressive version of 1.6. When you boot the 1st time it even looks like you are setting up a phone. I think this is to fool the Market.

My other desire in a future mainstream porduct is Android 2.2. Google's genuine mail program is available for download in 2.2 only. You can have local copies of your contacts, and calendar, from Google on GMail.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Dougefresh91:
I'm really tempted to order one of these. Just to use as a web browser and what not.

What's the actual speed of the CPU on this thing?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] d2dthetide:
I purchased the Maylong tablet on Oct. 23 and received an email with tracking number on the 27. Every time I checked the UPS tracking site all it said was... billing information received... the site never changed. Today, I called UPS and they said they had no info on the package, that I should check with Walgreens. I called Walgreens and they said that UPS had messed up for some reason, and not picked up a batch that was ready for shipping. For the inconvience they were refunding the whopping 4.99 shipping charge and that I should see updates with in a day or so on the tracking site.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] eleme:
I've seen it reported as 300MHz and 400MHz (and 533MHz on Myalongs' site)... since its a healthy VIA chip it should overclock nicely once we get SetCPU to work on it.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Dougefresh91:
Thanks for the answer.

Sears has a couple tablets that are priced pretty cheap. I want to go check them out before I commit to this one. A Viewsonic came out today for $380 running 2.2. While it costs a bit more it'd be preferable to me since it's more versatile with Flash.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] s2h2golf:
People are having a hard time with Flash on that tablet. It doesn't come installed and when they sideloaded it, the tablet would FC everytime they would run it. Also FC on the Market when it was sideloaded. I have one in my shopping cart right now (out of stock for shipping, but in stock in a couple of days at local store). I am still debating what to do. A Tegra2 processor sounds pretty good...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] HappyEisentrout:
I ordered mine on the 27th and then called yesterday (11/1) and the girl had said that it had left the vendor and I should see it no later than Friday. Then when I woke up this morning I also discovered the money credited back to my account. I then called today and the girl said that the vendor had only received the order and hasn't responded back yet. The money would then be charged again when the tablet is shipped. She also stated that they had been getting a lot of calls on "this Maylong thing" today. When I placed the order Walgreens.com said that I would get it Nov. 17, so lets hope that was wrong.

It really appears that Maylong and Walgreens had no idea what they were getting themselves into. Hopefully this is only gonna be a problem for this initial launch.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Dougefresh91:
Where did you see that out of curiosity?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] famoussmiff:

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] wiiplay:
Guys and gals refer to my post on page 14 (or 13) I spoke with the people from Maylong they are out of stock and so you all are in back order status and will take longer than the estimated time frame.

Hey Dougefresh91 if you dont mind getting an older version of tablet technology check out DealExtream.com and search for Android 2.1 theres a tablet there with a 720mhz processor, 256 DDR 2 of ram and even an hdmi output for it for 168 and change free shipping.
