I am using my very old (for a tablet) Nvidia K1 tablet with Fully Kiosk Browser(Android)/Dashboard controller (Homey-app) with SmartDash ([Pro][Dashboard] SmartDash - a dashboard for Homey).
Any idea which apps you want to use? Because that also will be good to know before you make a choice.
With SmartDash for instance you also can use a nspapnel pro
