Hi guys. Just go the tablet today and install the new firmware. Market is missing and i tried to install it using vending.apk from google but no success so far. For now, I am using market.android.com on the browser but the app is so much easier to use.

i think you need to get hold of the export version of the firmware, hopefully raz may be able to get it off ainol as they do sell the novo 8 with international version on some other sites

I found instruction from a similar site to get it to work. Wasn't easy. If anyone wants me to test certain apps or benchmark. I can do it.

Would be good if you write up how you did it. It'll help others.

I found the instruction here.

You must have rooted the device and have root explorer install before following the before mentioned instructions.
I ran quadrant and the score was only 929. I tried a few games and they ran very well. Still having problem running flash on website. I have install flash 10.3 from market but it doesn't seen to work.

Tested Gundam 00 1080p mkv with ac3, sorry, doesn't seen to work. Such a shame because the video play flawlessly.

The biggest drawback right now is the battery life and the none-standard charger. Now I have to carry the DC charger with me everywhere. It's like using my old laptop where i have to find a charger constantly to charge.

Any third party firmware or codec that enables AC3?
