<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>I looked around the forum to see if anyone here had purchased this tablet, but I couldn’t find anything, so here’s a very short review of a recently released Onda tablet. My goal was to find an inexpensive tablet with Android 7.</span>

<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>I bought the tablet from onda-tablet.com since it was the cheapest option. Shipping was either $11 for slow or $16 for DHL 3-5 day. I chose DHL. I used PayPal and got a generic order confirmation email right away. However, after waiting 3 days for a shipment confirmation, I did some searching about onda-tablet.com only to find many reports of problems dealing with the company. So I decided to use the PayPal dispute system and asked to cancel my order. The next day, I got a shipment confirmation. The tablet arrived 3 days after that. Ultimately I feel I got a good deal on the tablet, but I think that if I hadn’t resorted to submitting a PayPal dispute, I would still be waiting to hear from the company.</span>

<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>The tablet arrived well packaged with a layer of bubble wrap and a layer of foam wrap. It powered up without any problem. The tablet had been pre-configured for English, so I did a factory reset. There were no issues after changing the language to English. There were a few Chinese applications which were easily uninstalled. Google Play was installed and I was able to install a few apps from the Store just fine. The one problem I had was Chrome which installed but showed an “Enable” button instead of “Open”. I couldn’t figure out how to get it to work, so I installed Chrome Beta instead which worked.</span>

<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>The screen looks quite nice to me with decent brightness and viewing angles. There is a large gap between the glass and the display as is the case with many cheap tablets. There were 2 screen protectors pre-applied. (I removed the top protector.) The back is all plastic. The seam where the screen joins the back is a bit rough making the tablet uncomfortable to hold due to the scratchy corners. I filed down the rough corners with a nail file.</span>

<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>The browsing experience is decent. I think the launcher is stock Android 7. (I typically use Nova launcher.) Antutu gave an overall score of 38600. Geekbench 4 scored 597 single-core/2472 multi-core. (Screen captures in the Links section above.) I suspect 3D gaming will not be the best on this tablet.</span>

<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>Using A1 SD Bench, I found that the MicroSD slot is USB 2.0, resulting in 51MB/s reads and 48MB/s writes with a 128GB Samsung EVO card. The internal memory was slow at 125MB/s reads and 77MB/sec writes.</span>

<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>I tested both 2.4GHz and 5GHz wifi bands with success, giving read/write speeds comparable to what I get on my Samsung S7. I didn’t test the 4G speeds as I don’t have a full-size SIM adapter. GPS worked just fine as well.</span>

<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>There are 2 speakers on the back, but there is no stereo as both speakers output L/R mixed. They get fairly loud with some distortion at 100% volume. The headphone port sounds good without any noticeable hiss or static.</span>

<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>The cameras are predictably lackluster. The front camera is angled weird resulting in my face appearing on the left half of the screen. The rear camera gives about 5 frames/sec in low light. </span>

<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>Overall, it’s about what I expected for a low-end tablet. I just wanted something with Android 7.0 for less than $150US.</span>

At the moment Linux Kernel is at 4.13-rc7 https://www.kernel.org/

You need to respun ubuntu alpha which is at 4.13-rc(x) and you should get at least touchpad out-of-the-box (I remembered one time I didn’t even needed to respun it, I just made a Live USB from the ISO and it worked!)
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/

P.S: Regularly check for new daily builds because whenever a new rc kernel is released ubuntu alpha has it usually within a day or 2 😉

Fingers crossed! I’m not giving up so soon, although it’s pretty deceiving to see it works for Jump but not for me. Still so many unresolved mysteries…

The only difference is in the BIOS, I have American Megatrends, you have Insyde . I didn’t know there were different revisions for this laptopt.
It seems I’ve got the right version to run linux by chance.

I agree with Ricardo, hopefully you’ll be able to run linux on your ezbook2 sooner or later,maybe with future updates to the linux kernel.
After all, support for Intel atom devices was added just two months ago with kernel 4.12, so there is time! 🙂

Sure, I want to keep Windows. Although it’s too bad we don’t have a Windows ISO for this computer. I have written the image with dd. I wrote a lot of images like this in the past. I only tried with the “linuxium-v4.13-rc2-lubuntu-17.10-alpha2-desktop-amd64.iso” you provided. I got the same CPU as you. I tried again a few times (this time with only one root partition), but I still get this error at the end of the install: “The ‘grub-efi-amd64-signed’ package failed to install into /target/. Without the GRUB boot loader, the installed system will not boot.”, then then installer crashes. At all times, the touchpad doesn’t work, on the Lubuntu installer drive and on the Lubuntu installed drive. I tried with different USB drives. Your advice on using VirtualBox is a great idea, but when I try, it gets really slow with the USB drive plugged in (it’s probably because it works in USB 1.1 mode. For USB 2.0 or 3.0 you need to install some kind of extension package on the client). I’ve set a permanent filter on the USB drive so it only goes on the VM and not my host. While the installer’s partitioning tool detects the USB drive, it won’t let me create a new partition table on it, it just says “Error opening /dev/sda: No media found”. I’m trying to install the system in French, but I also tried in English I guess now I will try with the Ubuntu image you provided. EDIT: Alright the Ubuntu image booted great, but it seems to have rEFInd installed with it because it just launched rEFInd when booting for the drive using the internal boot manager. Sadly, still no touchpad, nor WiFi… What is happening?

VirtualBox needs the Extension Pack, you can download it here. Just click on it and it will install. You’ll be able to properly use USB2 or USB3.

Sadly I have no idea why it does not work on your laptop. It seems you’re doing everything correctly. It would be nice to hear some feedback from someone else.

One last thing you could try is to respin the ISO yourself using the isorespin script on a Linux system (either a real pc or in virtualbox).
1) Download your favourite linux distro from the official website. You can choose one of the following: official desktop 64-bit Ubuntu (http://releases.ubuntu.com), Ubuntu flavoured ISOs (https://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu-flavours), Linux Mint ISOs (https://www.linuxmint.com/download.php), KDE neon ISOs (https://neon.kde.org/download), Peppermint OS (https://peppermintos.com/) and BackBox Linux (https://backbox.org/)
2) Download the script
3) Type in a terminal:
sudo ./isorespin.sh -i OFFICIAL_DISTRO_NAME.iso –atom -u
where OFFICIAL_DISTRO_NAME is the name of the linux distro you downloaded.

It will generate a new ISO compatible with the ezbook2, with wifi bluetooth and trackpad working and with the latest kernel available.
I used it to add Kali Linux packages on Lubuntu 16.04 and it works fine (to me, at least).

Then install the ISO as usual and see if it works. Try to use Rufus for windows to create the bootable usb (using GPT partition scheme for UEFI).

I hope it will fork for you, if not I don’t know what else you can do.

Alright tonight I’ve put Lubuntu on a USB drive. Touchpad wasn’t working but I was able to install it on another USB 3.0 drive with an external mouse. At the end of the installation, I got an error message where it couldn’t install a file related to GRUB. I only did a 2 GB swap partition and an ext4 root partition with the remaining space, installing the bootloader directly on the drive (/dev/sda for me). After that, at the same time it told me that the installer crashed and the installation was finished… Who should I belive? =) The boot manager doesn’t detect the newly installed Lubuntu on the USB drive, but having the drive plugged in seems to slow the boot manager’s startup time quite a lot. Maybe it’s because it’s searching in all the 32 GB drive a boot point. I then have put rEFInd on another USB drive, booted on it with the boot manager but if my Lubuntu drive is plugged in, all I get is a black screen with a fixed cursor, and after quite some time, the computer reboots. If the Lubuntu drive isn’t plugged in, rEFInd shows up. Plugging in the Lubuntu drive back does nothing, I don’t know if rEFInd auto-refresh the OS list when something is plugged in. So Jump, did you have a similar experience, especially the error at the end of Lubuntu’s installation? What is your partition layout? Now I guess I’m going to try installing rEFInd directly onto the computer. EDIT: I’ve rebooted with everything plugged in, boot manager loaded quite fast, rEFInd too and it showed my Lubuntu drive and I was able to boot on it. Woot! I think the next thing is to try installing Lubuntu onto the internal SD and see if rEFInd likes it. Then, I’ll probably end up installing rEFInd to the computer anyway to make things easier. Altough it would be nice to install it on a small partition of my Lubuntu drive, just for testing a bit. EDIT2: Okay so touchpad, WiFi, Bluetooth and probably sound doesn’t work. What is happening? I don’t think that’s related on where rEFInd is used…

In my opinion you should not remove windows 10, it would be difficult to reinstall it if you ever need it again.

What program did you use to create the bootable USB drive?

What is the name of the ISO file you used? 

When you boot from installation USB drive, TouchPad must work, otherwise there’s something wrong.

I installed lubuntu on a 32GB USB 3.0 lexar without any swap partition, just 1 ext4 partition with mount point / .  I installed bootloader on /dev/sdb (the main USB 3 partition) although grub never worked.

I don’t know why you have problems with wifi, trackpad and Bluetooth, I personally installed and tested Ubuntu and Lubuntu from the link I posted earlier (Linuxium) on my Jumper ezbook 2 and everything (except audio) works out of the box.

I thing that every ezbook 2 is the same, there are not different hardware revisions, are they? My CPU is Intel Atom x5-Z8300, yours?

One thing you could try is to install lubuntu on the USB from another computer or from VirtualBox, and than boot the USB on the ezbook 2. I did have one problem finishing the installation once, the Jumper screen went black and wouldn’t turn back on during install,  and I solved with VirtualBox. I booted the ISO on a virtual machine and selected the USB as install drive.

Thank you vietchi i try your driver but result are same This laptoom cant conect wifi when mobile has strenght signal Now i must use USB wifi Tp link TL wn722n and i have full signal now Gearbest cant help too

[sportnok]

I asked Yepo on the Official aliexpress store, and they said it in fact a 128gb eMMC and its b/g/n wifi, so not ac and not even dual band n.

What you want is this, but not made by VOYO, Chris hates them because they are all bendy plastic and cheap.. but it still lacks type C usb and ac wifi

Still waiting for the “eMMC Controller Reset” fix but it looks really bad…

Anyway, you could use the tablet by booting from the USB port!

I used “WINTOUSB” to make a bootable WIN10 usb stick (Sandisk ProDuo 32Gb), but getting the right drivers to make WiFi, Touch and Sound is really tedious… and the results are less than acceptable regarding speed.

A better quality USB stick will make it work faster!

Hey, just got here So did you guys managed to get the touchpad, wifi and sound working ?

To sum up: Linux now works on the EZBook 2 thanks to Linuxium, a script that allows Ubuntu and derivatives to run on Intel Atom devices.

Everything works except Audio. You can find the latest Ubuntu ISO here. More versions on the website.

If you install Linux on a USB, you must install REFind on Windows in order to boot from the USB. Instructions here: http://www.rodsbooks.com/refind/installing.html#windows

Why not use miracast.

Thank you for your idea!

After reading a lot that the USB-C hubs with HDMI / VGA might be a hit-or-miss thing and the price of those hubs is well higher than 22USD, I decided to give a chance to a MiraCast device. This is how I placed an order for an Anycast device in order to cover the HDMI connectivity. As for VGA, I chose a simple USB-C-to-VGA adapter.

Will come with an update when goods arrive…

Hi there I have a chuwi hi 13 . Want to use it as second monitor (Dual monitor ) for Mac book pro 10.12.5

also not using wifi .. usb or any other cable.

is there any way?

Hi,

as I write in more threads here and there on TechTablets, with little experience and effort , you should be able to install and run Linux on EzB 3 Pro.

And  on my version 2 (M.2 slot present, without ac wifi), wifi works with custom driver, touchpad works with like 3 commands in terminal, audio works out of the box, special Fn+ keys work out of the box. Card reader works out of the box. Bluetooth doesn’t work, but I live happily without it, but I think it should be possible to make it run, I just didn’t dig deeper, because it wasn’t my priority.

I installed Lubuntu, and after some time I hopped onto Manjaro bandwagon. I use Xface desktop now. Dualboot with factory Win 10.

Check my thread on LinuxQuestions, that should help you or ask here, what I know, I ‘ll be glad to share.

good luck,

U.
