Did my research pay off?

[RedZulu]

i am a newbie, however I am also trying to find the information before I ask questions. I'm not looking for the one-click solution. I just want to make sure I am going down the right path.

I have been reading around these forums and my Tablet is not here, that I can find. However I did find similar ones. Here is a link to info about my EPad.
Amazon.com: CrystalView 4 GB 7-Inch E-Pad Touch Screen Google Android 1.9: Electronics

Here is the thread with some more info about my EPad.

I was wondering if someone could tell me if my research has paid off or point me in the right direction if it hasn't. I think I can run TipStir's Root Rom to improve my EPad. Correct?

I am looking to update it, get it running better and have the android marketplace not the limited app market it came with. Thank you!

Good research but you want to make sure the rom you use is made for your tablet because if its not then it can mess your tablet bad

So I have to find a Rom made for a CrystalView EPad. I can't use one that is made for another but uses the same software versions and has the same specs? If that is the case I should probably return this as I haven't even seen this tablet mentioned in the forums. Bummer. Thanks for the info.http://www.androidtablets.net/forum/members/probbiethe1.html

Well you can try a rom for other devices but that is even more risky. But before I buy a device I make sure it can be rooted and it has custom roms or I make sure I can be happy with it stock

yeah I thought I would be I did a bit of research before I got it but I think I was looking at the wrong tablet. I got it from a deal website, the the price was low and I thought why not. I think next time I will wait. lol I'll probably return this then and see if I can just get my money back. Thanks
