Note : Please do not treat this as a rant or anything of similar nature. I am just a tech-head interested in doing something which helps.
I really don’t know about NI Adam 2 or things similar, but with the regular force close and other problems I face with the ROMs, I am on a serious lookout for porting Ubuntu on Adam. Atleast, I’ll get a working system for my daily needs. Quite peculiar this problem – irrespective of the ROM I use, Eden / Beast / Cromnia / EdenX / Adamcomb / Deadcreme / ICS runs fine for 2 – 3 weeks, then starts slowdown, force closes, crashes, etc. While installation, all standard operating / reinstallation procedures as applicable are followed to the “T”, but has not addressed the issues. So if a positive method exists to bring UBUNTU 12.04 atleast to the NI Adam, I’d be utmost grateful to all for their help / pointers.
P.S. – I’ve tried Ranbuntu (kindly excuse me), but to no avail. Highly lost now.
Basudeb Biswas: It sounds like you may have some hardware problems. The initial beta release ran really slow for me. I got a lot of “waiting” messages but things always eventually loaded and ran. Since the beta2 and beta3 releases this problem has gone away. I don’t remember when the last time I had a forced close happen. Several things still don’t run in the beta, and if you try them you may get force closed messages, but the working stuff just works.
I too would love to have something pure Linux working on this tablet. Even DamnSmall Linux would be nice, but I don’t have the time to work on such, as much as I would wish to. I suppose you are referring to the stuff Raymond (sp) has been working on. I haven’t had the chance to try that yet either.
If you are still having force close issues with the last stable Eden release, you should probably contact support about looking into the hardware…
Best of luck,
Please make adam 2 affordable ,say, under 15 K Indian rupees for me to buy it. I want it but couldn’t afford. I think many would think this way…pls reply!
Hi Rohan!
I love my Adam! I´m so happy with it… Could You please motivate the team to make camere and microphone function (for skype and photos) on ICS? Thank You very-very much!
Have a nice day!
Ever since the day iPad came out I wanted to buy a tablet. Then you guys came along and introduced a whole new concept. It was interesting but it still did not cut it.
Then I got a Playbook from BlackBerry. It was interesting because it had a bridge for their phones. But even with its second software update it is not very useful. It is really buggy and I can’t think of anything useful to do except read my mails and watch videos.
The reason I am telling you how is this – tablets today have become redundant and see nothing better than playthings. If for you want to make and sell a very good product, give us a reason for buying it. Make it as good as a real pc/laptop so that people will really need it, not just want it. I would suggest to dump android and go for Windows 8 wholeheartedly. It is going to be legendary, and not even Tim Cook can stop it. Please think ahead and get ahead of others. Better to lead a rat-race than trail it.
Here is a little stop motion video I made. I think it may have something familiar in it for all the Adam fans out there.

Have a nice day!
1) I would love to have a better battery standby time.
2) Working MIC & Camera
3) Better sound quality
How about ICS on Adam and a full functiona Skype. That we can use without being upside down
Plans for Eden and eden apps !

Excuse me for the shoddy grammar in the comment above. Apparently the autocorrect feature on the Playbook is not very reliable either!
i would love to hear about Adam 2. so any updates ?
