I am running windows XP, so maybe that's why it didn't work, but I did just find a fix for it. I was able to go into device manager and manually install these drivers:

installing the drivers changed the 'N50' under unknown devices to Focus MID 'Android Composite ADB Interface'. after the drivers installed, I was able to successfully root with superoneclick. Thanks for all the updated software wall_, your the man.

Your welcome, tell us if you find any bugs or incompatibility. Was anyone able to play GTA3 on Gingerbread? For me it only ran on 4.0.

does anyone know if it's possible to make the icons and task bar etc a little bigger? it looks like it's been scaled down from a tab with a higher res and bigger screen but it doesn't look quite right on something as small as 5 inches... in other words, i have fat fingers and it'd be beneficial for me to make everything a bit bigger so i can jab at the screen without having to be so careful.

I don't know, and honestly, I like it the way it is. Someone might be able to help you. I don't know if another launcher would replace the default taskbar as I never used any other than the default. There's just one thing that annoys me about the taskbar, games that are suppose to run on Fullscreen still leave the taskbar visible.

can anyone help with with superuser?

i rooted my device, i think. i got an error asking me if the software version was 2.0 or higher so i clicked yes. the program sent the su command and told me that the device is rooted. superuser shows up in apps... but how the hell do i use it to remove all the junk?

all i get is a white box that says "showing 0 entries" and "no log information"...

To remove all the junk apps after rooting you have to install SystemApp Remover.

aha ok. so what is the primary use of superuser?
thanks, i'll try systemapp remover out.

edit// nevermind, i understand now that i loaded systemapp remover. superuser is required to make changes to the android system files i guess.

It allows apps to have root access.

So after much testing, here is what i have found:

1. vibrate does not seem too work
2. some apps are not showing in the market

Besides that everything seems to be much more stable than the latest 2.3. for the market issue, I made this build prop that enables almost all the missing apps, including google apps (like maps and voice) and gameloft games (like order and chaos and N.O.V.A).
download it here:

Just in case anyone has not switched build.props before, here is how you do it.
you will need this modified build.prop
http://www.mediafire.com/?y2rusz24sahahp2
and an root file explorer
http://download.estrongs.com/app-es-file-explorer.html

1. Install your ROM and don't open any google related apps or the market (google play)!
2. root the tablet (instructions in this thread)
3. Install the file explorer (either thru the tablets browser or copied over from your computer)
5. mount /system as RW by opening ES file explorer, press menu>settings, then scrolling down and checking Root Explorer, select yes on the warning, select allow on the pop up, check Mount File System
4. use the file explorer to copy FinalmodICSbuild.prop from where ever you put it to /system. to navigate to /system in ES file explorer, select the blue star in the upper left corner of the screen, then select the phone icon in the popup bar. this will take you to the root of the file system, then select the folder labeled system.
5. delete build.prop in /system
6. rename FinalmodICSbuild.prop in /system to build.prop
7. reboot
8. Open the market and search for google maps then order and chaos. if it worked they should both be available.

YOUR DONE!

SIDE NOTES:
you can of course use any root file explorer that you like, but I prefer ES file explorer because you can download it without having to go through the market.

This modified build.prop will change the interface from the ICS tablet interface to the phone interface. you can change it back if you want by opening the build.prop file in /system with ES file explorer and changing the line:
ro.build.characteristics=phone
to
ro.build.characteristics=tablet
the only reason I changed it to phone is because the tablet interface wants to run at 120 dpi, but the dpi had to be at 160 for some of the market apps to show up and run correctly.

The app drawer will look to small after you do this because the dpi has been set to 160. you can safely change it to either 180 or 240 to make the app drawer fit the screen correctly after you complete the 8 steps above.
