Every time I go to buy one, it’s out of stock! Every time. This is my fourth try… Should I just give up and buy something else? I don’t want to, I really want this one, but I can’t buy what’s not available for sale… I’m starting to think that I’ll never be able to get one… I really need something for school and I can’t keep delaying… I know this isn’t relevant to the post, I just wanted it out there.

Hi, anybody knows how to install any software on Adam with Ice Cream Sandwich ? I download .apk file and when I clicked it double I get message “cannot open file”. Any idea what to do?

I’m tired of Notion ink, I am having the adam pixel qi 3g for more than a year with my ipad 2 and i hardly used it, it’s totally useless…… bugs and feature not working… and so on. The most usable ROM so far was Beast. Almost all the features were working except 3g. Now im eagerly waiting for ICS stable update and i have been checking the site everyday…almost a month now and no update.
This is getting boring… I feel that I haven’t use my Adam the way it is supposed to be till date. Come on Rohan you are giving a bad name to IIT…

  It DOES seem like quite a while since the last update.
  
  Rohan: what is holding things back from getting some more issues resolved. In particular what is the hold up with the camera? Is it just a drivers issue? Since it worked in the original releases, it isn’t real clear to me why this feature is still broken after all this time. After all, you DO have detailed spec on the device, so it shouldn’t be all that hard to make it work.
  
  What can we do to help?

Hi,

I have installed icsBeta (the first beta) but I see no file manager app. How are you guys getting that? I also installed gapps package along with icsBeta, but market does not connect. It is continuosly giving me the same message “connection timed out”. Appreciate any help.

And when i install beta2/3, my internal memory is not getting installed. Anybody facing same problem?

Has NI abandoned the Genesis market?
Has NI abandoned its own ROM?

I have tried several times to install this, but it just won’t work. Keeps getting hung up at wiping the data, or installing ICS… very frustrating!

  JJ: You should try the files provided by TabletROMs. They seem to install better. You should also start with the inital release before you try the second update. I had to start with the NVFlash install in order to get something that would work. The TabletROMs instructions are pretty easy to follow, but if you need more help, just ask
  Luck,

Missing Market !
I dont know if this is the right place to post this, but does anyone have a solution to the Market no longer working after Google replaced Market with Play Store. I have an Adam running Android 3.0.1.
On my other android devices the new Play Store works fine.

Hello all,
I don’t know if this post will appear or not, yet I am asking this question:
when I select “apply external sdcard:update.zip”, the screen just shows the green android “organism” photo in perpetuity. And when I select wipe data after shutting it down again, it shows the same thing.

Can anyone kindly help.

  Hi apurvasharma!
  
  I haven’t had this exact problem, but I think I can help you troubleshoot it…
  
  First: for this update to work, you must have a file named “update.zip” on the external SD card.
  Next: you may have a broken update. I got into this state with one of the CWM updates (don’t remember exactly which one. There have been so many If this is the case, the only way I got out of it was to use the NVFlash process and the beta ICS nvflash file called nvaio.zip. This requires another computer and a USB cable. I think the process is described in several places (conclave, TabletROMs, and maybe even NI support…) There used to be a description on The Tablet Post, but that is now gone…
  Finally: If you have CWM installed, you may be able to get the “choose a zip file to update” option (that’s not exactly what it is called, but it is the other one, not the “update from sdcard” option.
  
  Although it is a bit more complex than a simple update, the NVFlash method will “always” recover your machine, no matter how “bricked” it becomes. (At least it always has for me, and I’ve gotten pretty bricked a couple of times
  
  HTH,

Hi,

I have HC on my Adam, I tried to install ICS, using Volume + & Power button, to access the recovery mode, but after selecting update.zip from Extrenal SD card, nothing happens. What is the problem ?
- levpius said, on March 2, 2012 at 21:48
  
  I can tell you for sure your recovery mod is bad. I believe, you have to download it from the links from Tabletroms,. The links i get from this blog sometimes gives me this issue

  If you see the little background icon and nothing else, it’s because the button you pressed was the wrong one. (I did the same thing)
  
  The button you should press is the menu key, if I recall.
