[EXPERIMENTAL]PMID1000D Modified Stock

[jonathanhatch]

It *should* have root, but as I always say on the disclaimer, YMMV, since I don't actually have the device. wasy way to tell though-install apps that require root and see if they work properly (ex. Titanium backup). as for 'recovery', these tablets don't have a usable stock recovery like, say CWM.

Hmm. Yeah, I definitely understand that. I've switched back to the stock, which is fine since I can run gapps using the marketpolaroid method. I did notice that your rom was snappier, I just really wanted to keep it rooted haha

What is interesting tho, is that my tablet has rebooted into recovery a couple of times after doing a flash. I actually think one of the roms I flashed was a modified version of yours. After I flashed it, it booted into CWM v6. I'm pretty sure they added that, or just made their own stock rom. I had the same problem with that one tho. No root. So, do I sacrifice root for a slightly better running machine? That is the question.

I got that one from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2059139

it's possible. I could do that too, but honestly, like I've said in several other threads, I usually shy away from doing ROM's for devices I don't own-mainly cause of a lack of testers. That's the reason why my modified stock apparently doesn't have root (as you say), but honestly unless someone's as dedicated to testing it as I am to building it, I won't ever know what the problem is....

That's normal to see in device manager for these tabs-ignore it. The important thing to remember is if the livesuit program correctly starts flashing the device

Pmid1000 flashing

Ok folks-here's the modified stock some of you have been asking for-I took out the preinstall apps (minus the Adobe Flash, which I can take out too if you all want), and verified it has root.

Please give it a whirl and provide feedback in this forum-I won't remove the 'experimental' tag until I hear from enough folks that it's stable.

Is this a windows 8 box? If so, I'm afraid I can't help you, cause I don't have (nor will I willingly own) Windows 8.

Hi , we did get it to sTART THE UPDATE once but it hung half way with a communication error.

Mine was still under warranty so Southern Telecon sent me a pre paid postage to mail it to them for free repair or replacement. So that's what I did. Will let you know when I hear more.

FYI SouthernTelecom sent me a PTAB1050 to Replace the PMID100d

Not a bad trade off The PTAB1050 only has a 4gb drive, where the PMID1000D had a 8Gb , but then the PTAB has a faster 1.6gz processor, and bluetooth. Will have to reload stuff on it. Seams everthig gets put on internal , then when you use manager it moves it to internal , not the external memory.

Maybe have to look around see if there is a rom, although ot seems faster and loads Web pages better using the stock browser; will have to try with Boat Browser or EC .

huh. never heard of a ptab1050 but then again this is Polaroid we're talking about here.

You may recall member by name of Koltaic was asking if ptab1050 can be
rooted. Dont know if he didd it but Ion54 said to use moborobo and unlock root.
