Hi there all.

Im an owner of low-end tablet, it's MyTab 7 (Specs below). I believe it is polish production.

Natively MyTab works under control of Android 4 which really slowing him down and giving almost 0, oh Im sorry, giving literally nothing to make this device run faster, and still without mentioning that mentioned os wasn't even optimized for this device.

So here are the MyTab 7 specs:

MyTab 7" IPS Screen 800x480
RAM 512MB
Build in memory 4GB
System: Android 4.0.3
Procesor Cortex A8 Dual Core 2x1,2Ghz
Battery giving 5 hours tops of constant using (2800mAh)

I can buy a bunch of those tablets, but it's needs to be at least 100, then cost of one device will reach 60 Polish zlotys (less than 20$). Problem with each one of this device is broken digitizer (cost of one is around 30-40 pln, 10-15$. I can replace them myself, but then cost of one device will reach 100 PLN. You can buy used device for little bigger price in poland, starting from 120PLN. New one cost's 180-240PLN (from 55$ to 80$).

So here's the thing, I want to make some money obviously, so this can bring me some, or I could lose some, its 50/50.

So I was thinking, is there any way to install Maemo/MeeGo OS on this device? Architecture is similar with n900.

If no, maybe different OS? Tizen, Mer, Ubuntu, Firefox?

I need anything linux-based, why? Because I have an idea to upgrade those devices.

First of all,

Need to buy 8GB microSD fast card for each one, but when buying 100 will not be so expensive so it does make sense . This is in need for 2 things:

Boot new OS from microSD, leaving old one (old os, android) where it is, so people can feel the difference, check out for themselves which os working better.

Repartition Built-in memory and SD card for swap space (512mb on each one). Fast SWAP will for sure have good impact on performance.

Also I can buy protective shield for screen, cause original has predispositions to break easly.

CPU Parameters. With open source OS's with right tools it's easy to overclock CPU, also with right knowledge you can speed up CPU significantly, but also reduce power consumption, or at least reach the point when consumption was the sane without OC.

Provide better solutions, as long as we are talking about OpenSource OSes.

If the end price will reach the price of used devices that marked "never fixed" this is all right. (Most of the time it's not true. If the device was never fixed most people will never mention it. If someone says that it's perfectly good, never had any accidents its probably because he is trying hiding the fact it was) If my project will be successful, with right commercial, few yt movies, and anything else that will prove that buying modified device spending few bucks more will give you better device, I can make some money to continue this project and start another one.

Im waiting not only for replies about the os, but open discussion, what do you think about that, what will you change, what will you add? What is in your opinion unnecessary
