I got a Likebook Mars the other day. It came from the Amazon seller that was allegedly in Nevada, though the product shipped from China by DHL. It included a case with the device. Although it was reported to have a 1.5Ghz Octacore CPU, Android Assistant is reporting that the CPU is "1.2 Ghz 8 Core". The model is Boyue Likebook-T80D. The current version is BYRead-V1.0.1.-2018091215.
I installed the Goodereader App Store, the Amazon Appstore, and 1Mobile Market. I used the former to install Kobo Books, Amazon Kindle, Opera Mini, UC Mini, Firefox Rocket, Edge, Next Browser, Ghostery and Spotify Lite, which all seem to be working fine, though I haven't tested all the browsers thoroughly. The apps I installed with the Amazon Appstore were sometimes complaining that I needed to have the Amazon Appstore installed and be signed into it. I could get an app to run by going to the Amazon Appstore and running it from there, but this was a nuisance, and I uninstalled the apps I had installed with it. Using 1Mobile Market, I installed the Via browser, Android Assistant, and Manga Reader, which are all working well. I have mainly been using the Via browser for web browsing.
The apps I have had a problem with are Hacker's Keyboard and the Nook app. After installing Hacker's Keyboard and setting it as default, I got no keyboard at all. So I switched back to the default English keyboard. The Nook app would report that it couldn't play some video, then do nothing. I tried installing some earlier versions, which got me as far as seeing my Nook library, but when I tried to read a book, it would report that NOOK had stopped working.
