to get Market working better fixed "missing" or "not compatible" apps..with a combination of other peoples work....thanks to all of them :-)

Start with a fresh installed ROM the one below with market and root preinstalled...

Then download and install esfile explorer from market open it and go into settings scroll down the bottom and turn on "root Explorer" and "Mount File System"
then follow below...

After first reboot market's not working yet then follow below...

Then after second reboot market is still not working.. then go into..
"settings"
"Apps"
"all" again
and find google play store open it but this time clear data..

thats it exit open market up and you should now have full market access....Youtube...Facebook....WeatherZone...SoundHound..angry birds...skype...etc
Perfect little tablet after this.

This rom is a must as it comes with preinstalled Market, BUT after I upgraded to the latest firmware my tablet became unstable, freezing and refusing to wake up from standby.
Today I used it for about 15 minutes and put it into standby. Then 5 hours later when I tried to wake it up from standby it was warm and the battery was flat (not even enough to boot). After I plugged it into DC power and booted the battery indicator showed 18% battery capacity. Im gonna try to downgrade the firmware and see if that takes care of things

Yes i've noticed the heat it gets dam hot.. not having the other problems though..
had it in my pocket the other day on standby and i thought what the!!! it does get very hot..hope they come out with a new rom soon to fix it.. definately something going on in standby..let me know if going back to the older rom helps and i may go back aswell..

I can confirm that the downgrade fixed problems with stability, power consumption and heating. I will use this one until a stabile rom with market is released:)
If you need the name for the ROM Im currently using its W17PRO_ICS.W17pro(Dualcore).20120425

How do you downgrade?
I try but impossible.

First I downloaded and extracted the W17PRO_ICS.W17pro(Dualcore).20120425.rar file.
Then I copied the following files to an sdcard:
factory_update_param.aml
u-boot.bin
uImage.file
uImage_recovery.file
w17ref-ota-eng.zuguo.chen.zip

From there I powered off the device and inserted the sdcard.
Then I held down the volume down button + the power button until the green android animation pops up and flashing begins.

E:bad bootloader arguments "(null)"

Thats weird. Try to reformat the SDcard (in FAT) and try again.

[bosondehiggs]

on this forum they say :

I have the same issue. Solution to the issue is reboot the tablet and wait 2-3 minutes while Ramos W17 pro recognizes the internal and external SDs.

"Anyone else have a problem with the Internal sd card that comes with the tablet taking a long time to load and even not loading at all, ie. Files/apps installed don't appear."

I had to format "media partition " via recory menu 4 times because of that. All the internal SD card was formatted. It is so annoying. I began to copy the content of the drive.

Good luck.
