What’s not so grt is that the tablet is still running Honeycomb 3.2 with Ice-Crm Sandwich yet to be relsed for it. Until that happens though, the lst we could do is root the tablet and get something more out of it, right? Rd on to know how to do this.

Make sure that the APX drivers are installed on your PC before you proceed. If not, use the download link below to install them.3. Plse note that installing this ROM will change your device ID to that of a Xoom tablet to enable access to apps that are usually not available for the IdPad K1. If you are not okay with this, stop now and do not continue further!!4. This method is only for the US version of the IdPad K1 tablet.II.
