So, this is another Android tablet ROM. Any others you have come across?
I only have very limited information on my tablet. Google doesn't turn up much.
I think I picked the wrong one. I probably should have gone for an Eken.
Anyway, atm, it is working well downloading podcasts automatically with Google 'Listen'.

Mine's a WM8650 ROM, which apparently works well with Udroidx
http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/23208-udroidx-155/

However, I skipped the bit about backing up the current rom - simply
because it was no use to me as is.  I'm fairly sure I could get it
running again by tweaking the boot parameters, but that's
 akin to
tweaking kernel parameters and it's pretty annoying to have to write a
new config file to an SD card each time I try a new set of configs;
plus there's no feedback, it just reboots itself towards the end of
the loading screen.

Lesson learnt.


Alice


ps. The other lesson learnt today is that accidentally chowning the
whole of /etc to the Apache user is a really bad idea.  Things start
failing in ever so subtle ways, leading to you spending hours trying
to work out why Postgresql won't start (hint: localhost doesn't
resolve because the postgres user can't read /etc/hosts)
