Dude, this is India, where some 15% of the people live under poverty. Trust me, the last thing the buyers will care about in is how slow it is. Upgrading will be the last thing on their mind. This is a great achievment and start for extreme low cost tablets that can be accessible to the poor.

edit:I'm actually shocked at some of the replies here. Who cares if it's a resistive touch screen? This is NOT meant for people who can afford an X10 or an iPad. This is a gateway to the poor who can't afford a laptop or cellphone, a way for them to communicate with the world and technology. This is NOT to play gameloft HD games, or watch HD videos. This is for accessing the web, alarm, maybe even an ebook. That's it. This will greatly help students in the poorer cities and poorer schools.
[XPERIA X10 General] Mister J:
Glad to see poorer countries now have something they can use.

*Borat voice* Great success!
[XPERIA X10 General] J!K:
If your economic situation inst that good and you think it would be an upgrade to your life you should definitely get it, if thats not your case and your used to powerful expensive devices then dont do it cause for you that tablet is just gonna be a paperweight

Send from my X10 running Miui 1.10.8 using the XDA App.... *****es!!! x)
[XPERIA X10 General] sahibunlimited:
NO NO our country is developing and all good not poor but some poor people live here so that the reason of this tab;)

India is not a poor country..who said you that?..lmao!

as far as economy is concerned when most of the countries were in recession,at that point India's economy was rising.

but i m sure cm7 will do something to port his rom into it to make it fast!!!! :-)
[XPERIA X10 General] milton.bain:
Yo! I have a friend working with this project. Its import will take more time. Its targeted for students. Atleast students/people who die for an Android but can't afford... can have this tablet. Chinese phone and market will be worst hit, because at the same price one can own an Android powered tablet. But, again Chinese tablets are available at same/lower rates with more specifications. Still AAKASH has made its name, fame, goodwill and will definitely get a strong hold. However, India will import less no. of it in the first order to review and check the India's reaction.

Goodluck AAKASH TAB.

[XPERIA X10 General] romasalah:
i think it's a great achievement to do such tablet with 100% indian contents..with this low price no body should complain.

Some ppl compare it with high-end devices...i say be fair guys!! At least compare it with normal dev with medium spec. And notice that no company had made that price possible..u r rich but don't u think of the poor?!!!!

Thanks india
[XPERIA X10 General] andddy:
y all the negativity, at that price i could throw it in my toolbox and not care what happens to it and buy a new one every week :)
[XPERIA X10 General] unburleyvable:
I would buy one just to see what the $20 gets me and then try installing every customized ROM I could get my hands on! Although it would be slow with the 366MHz processor, it would be good to use in app development with a tablet-sized screen.
[XPERIA X10 General] kloud_:

Q: Does it have multi-language - need danish
[XPERIA X10 General] sakindia123:
this is subsidised by the indian govt.for the indiAN PEOPLE,so it will not have Danish.....probably just English along with some Indic languages..

Oh I have very limited power of imagination. :p

But it will be fun to tinker around with this tab ;)
[XPERIA X10 General] akashgupta222:
the ubislate 7 will be a better alternative to anyone wanting to buy it, and for those who are thinking that the ubislate 7 would be subsidised, i would like to inform you that it is the "commercial version" of the tablet..

And dont worry about the processor speed in the ubislate 7, it would be good for all tasks excluding hardcore gaming (though it might just be able to play the initial levels of angry birds).
[XPERIA X10 General] Z3US911:
u ordered Aakash or Ubislate...i will go for ubislate.

[XPERIA X10 General] sahibunlimited:
But recovery?
[XPERIA X10 General] kloud_:
That would be a problem, will have to construct one like z did with xRec.

The progress of porting a ROM would depend on availability of root, recovery and if possible unlocked bl!!
[XPERIA X10 General] sakindia123:
i m pretty sure everything will be unlocked

Since it will be running AOSP out of the box,porting wud be easy
[XPERIA X10 General] kloud_:
kernel sources, drivers?

That's the catch

Micromax didnt release their source for android phones,now people are going to consumer court ^-^
[XPERIA X10 General] kloud_:
Haha... and I doubt that the same will not happen with this tab except for going to the court part!! :p
[XPERIA X10 General] yokes:
I bought one through Ncarry for Rs.2698/-. I found it very difficult to operate as the screen is not responsive enough to scroll, and the processes are damn slow.

If rooted and install a Custom ROM then it will be great.

android 2.3,

2GB micro sd card,

headphones (included),

jus google 'ubi slate 7+' or

here *sorry i'm newbie can't post links*
[XPERIA X10 General] dilharofernandi:
So here are the details of the most expected aakash tab (Updated january 14 2012)

1.Govt declined to buy next set about 1 lakh tablets from Datawind company ie UBISLATE7+ due to complaints from users about bad build quality such as

a> tab become brick when pressing wifi on

b>tab get bricked when using for 10 minutes and not starting agin

c>CNN opened the device in public and displayed cheapest plastics and wires for connection which is about just 1300/- and the rest ie 1500 is their profit.

d> Datawind got much publicity through Govt, already got pree booking of 2 million indians including me and jumpted from 5 million company to half billion company capital

2.About UBISLATE7+(latest name).........hardware

1)has wifi and phone modem(so calling surfing...all possible)

2)chance for integrated speaker

3)other functions same as old bad Aakash tab(now called Ubislate7)except a cortex a8 processor

software:

1)so will run Gingerbread(which has a minimum req of 700mhz and 128 mb ram)

2) Confirmed Still no android market(as it does not comply with android compatibility standards such as requirement of atleast one camera)so no google supports(u get getjar app pre installed)

3)should have introduced 278mb ram which is the requirement of android 2.3 fr running with out force clossing of apps

.......

any how you can get an android phone and tab without accelerometer but with 2gb internal flash memory at 3000/- which is a good deal if atlest it work for atleast one year...

i am hoping it should not shut down automatically when starting wifi....

for those who didnt booked should checkout

Samsung Galaxy y 7000(capacitative, GPS accelerometer 290mb ram)

LG optimus 2(not priced..480*320,3.2 autofocus,)aroud 8000

for quality long lasting.........................................................................

so anything goo

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KarateKick:
Hi Everyone,

I bought ROM Manager Premium v4.5.0.1, in order to do a Nandroid backup on my I896 running stock I896UXJL1.

I ran "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery", and it said my Current Recovery 2.5.1.2 was the same as the Latest Recovery. So far so good.

Then I ran "Backup Current ROM." Instead of doing a backup, it rebooted my phone into Recovery "3e" every time. I tried it many times and got the same result.

This is so confusing. For whatever reason the app decides to boot my phone into recovery instead of doing the backup, I would expect it to at least go into CWM Recovery instead of the stock 3e.

Questions:

1. Has any of you gotten rebooted when you try to do a Nandroid backup?

2. Has any of you gotten rebooted into stock recovery even when CWM is installed?

Thanks.

KK
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
In general ROM manager is trash for SGS. Don't bother with them. I would say find a kernel with CWM cooked in it but JL1 is a rogers only and I don't know any for that.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
froyo wasnt so damn kenel picky. any froyo kernel will work.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KarateKick:
Doesn't work with any ROM

I've tried ROM manager after flashing KH3 and KJ3, and the "Reboot into Recovery" still doesn't work. I get the triangle-exclaimation-droid screen with nothing else, and it stays that way until I use the 3-button reboot.

Since the app can't even perform one of the more basic functions, I am afraid to let it do anything else. I wish I hadn't paid for the premium version.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
ROM manager doesn't work on Gingerbread..... Rom manager isn't very good for Samsung phones
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] capocaccia:
Stop what you are doing and read. ROM Manager sucks basically. Very few people on here actually use it. If you keep just throwing things at your phone though without knowing what you are doing you are going to end up with a shiny, expensive, paperweight. Then you get to spend upwards of 50$ getting that fixed. So please, for me, the forum, and your phone just read. Or at very least ask a directed, detailed question. As in: my phone is here, im trying to get to there, this is what im doing and this is where and how its failing.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KarateKick:
Flashing using an app

I actually did weeks of reading before flashing my phone for the first time. I got scared by potential problems such as USB interruptions.

This is where I am at: I've been using mostly Odin to flash. I have successfully flashed KH3 and then KJ3 (with KF1 bootloaders and Boog's kernel); however, I am still nervous each time I do anything.

This is where I hope (or used to hope) to get to: I keep looking for a way to minimize the probability of human errors and technical hiccups. (It's a habit I've picked up while working as a software manager.)

I went for ROM Manager because the same developer wrote CWM. I do appreciate you guys sharing your opinion of the app's effectiveness with the SGS. I only wish I had been warned sooner (ideally by the app's developer).
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
Find ODIN packages that don't inlcude bootloaders. That will only minimize your risk to soft bricks wich can be recovered with a jig that are easy to make and only cost ~ $10 if you choose to buy them. I personally use KH3 as my "stock" setting when I need to flash to stock. I use Cezar's KH3 .tar that doesn't include them but there are atleast 1 1 click around.

CWM for Captivate Gingerbread UCKJ2

Sorry in advance for the noob question. I have read many posts but can't find my answer. I've installed the leaked gingerbread rom from Samsung called uckj2. I was trying to change the modem by flashing a zip file using clockworkmod recovery. I've heard the way to do it is by using a kernel that already has cockworkmod already baked in. Which kernel should I use?

Thanks in advance :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
KJ2 have 3 kernels that should work. Corn kernek, Samurai and Boog's kernel.

Hi,

I have an issue with wifi hotspot configuration on my SGS2 running Darky XXKI3.

For some reason I can't change the setting for my hotspot.

No matter what I configure (another SSID, PSK or open) it always revert back to AndroidAP with a random generated password.

I know this is a not a ROM issue since I had this also with default stock ROM after flashing an update from CWM.

If I flash from odin everything works fine

Any suggestions hot to troubleshoot this?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khazkhaz:
I've been having the same problem after upgrading to XXKI8 running 2.3.5
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omniwolf:
hello, i had the same problem. had a look in logcat, it shows:

E/WifiService( 2677): Error writing hotspot configurationjava.io.FileNotFoundException: /data/misc/wifi/softap.conf (Permission denied)

so, to fix bring up a console (eg connectBot, or adb shell), and run:

busybox chown wifi:system /data/misc/wifi

chmod 770 /data/misc/wifi

and then it'll be working again.

chown: unknown user/group wifi:system

Am I missing something obvious? I am quite new on this...

Thank you!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Entropy512:
The syntax of chown can sometimes vary slightly.

Try wifi.system instead of wifi:system

Note that your initramfs will clobber permissions on boot most likely - however once the file is created, it may be rewritable even after the initramfs hoses the parent directory's perms.

You could also update to 2.3.6; I believe it is fixed in that version.

EDIT: at least, I think it is fixed in newer versions of 2.3.6. That said, this thread (starting with post 12) suggests some possible fixes. I've not tried them, as I offer my own fix in that same thread, but that fix requires root...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omniwolf:
i'm back

somehow i had another (different) wifi issue, was googling, and came across this thread again. weird.

anyway, i was having the same problem as the user above - unknown user/group system:wifi

for my problem, wifi wouldn't turn on at all until i chmoded /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf to 666. everytime i rebooted, it would change back to 660, and not work. argh1!!

eventually i worked out the owner was wrong, but everytime i tried to change it

chown system:wifi /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf

i would get the above error about unknown user/group

eventually i worked it out. if you go ls -al in the folder, you'll get something like this:

root@android:/data/misc/wifi # ls -al
ls -al
drwxrwx--- 3 1010 1010 4096 Apr 1 02:18 .
drwxrwx--t 11 1000 9998 4096 Apr 1 08:14 ..
-rw-rw---- 1 1000 1010 21 Apr 2 13:18 entropy.bin
drwxrwx--- 2 1010 1010 4096 Apr 2 13:18 sockets

-rw-rw---- 1 0 0 891 Apr 2 13:18 wpa_supplicant.conf
root@android:/data/misc/wifi #

do you see on the . and sockets folder the owner is 1010:1010 ? and on the wpa_supplicant.conf file the owner is 0:0 ?

well, that's the prob. i had copied in my own wpa_supplicant.conf file because titanium backup couldn't restore my wifi access points for some lame reason, and the owner was wrong. miror the . folder owner for this file:

chown 1010:1010 /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf

and you don't need 666 perms on the file, 660 is enough!
