For $99.99 its one good tablet.
No camera and no bluetooth but its not a deal breaker for me.
Compare to kindle fire at $199 and running gingerbread, the polaroid is a steal.
I use acer iconia a500 for work, kindle fire and nook tablet as spare for my nieces and nephews.
Now I have this tablet for them to play.
And you can plug in USB thumb drive through micro USB adapter and it works.
Installing google play market is as easy as installing google services framework.apk (by tapping it) than push/copy vending.apk to system/app directory and reboot. I use ES file explorer to push the files.
Battery life kinda suck but not too shabby it last 4 hours for me playing netfilx non stop.
The screen has 5 points capacitive and quite responsive.
As long as you dont have high expectation you wont be disappointed.
I believe the old tablet ICS version is semi rooted (you need to remount the system directory to RW with root explorer or ES file explorer), However mine is Fully rooted out of the box (The system folder already mounted as RW)
Great HW, but 512mb if kernel isnt good are not much...
for only 99$ it's great anyway
Good choice for starter tab
I picked one up this weekend, and I have to say it is an excellent choice for the money. completly rooted from the factory you can install any app from the market that is compatible with tablets once you have google play installed. i also replaced the stock launcher with Nova Launcher which works flawlessly, upgraded the version of youtube that came with the device without issues and also was able to install most of the google apps from CM including gmail, calendar, galary etc.
The only draw back at this point is no custom recovery so building and flashing custom roms is at this point not an option however it is android 4.0.3 and you can pull and edit any of the system files and framework to your hearts desire you just need to be careful if you make an edit that prevents it from booting your basically screwed your only hope will be if you can push the original file back via adb.
I am going to start looking into some custom themes and possibly a customized systemUI and framework as time permits, I am currently busy with a Sense 3.6 and Sense 4.0a rom for the inspire/desireHD world so will try to fit this in as time permits.
My recomendation is if you want a inexpensive tablet to play with that has some excellent capabilities go get one of these before there gone.
How did you get root? Grabbed es explorer and tried to get off of the sd card, and no go.

device comes prerooted, you need to install a root capable file explorer first. here's how:
1. download and install the latest Android SDK
2. Using ADB commands
a. connect your 701i to your PC
b. at a command prompt type "adb remount"
c. type "adb push GoogleServicesFramework.apk /system/app/"
d. type "adb push Vending.apk /system/app/"
e. type "adb reboot"
3. open "Google Play" from your apps drawer
4. search for "esfile explorer"
5. install "esfile explorer"
now you have google play and a root capable file explorer.
google apps can be found searching google or xda (make sure it the ICS version)

Download the file below
http://rapidshare.com/files/4069402236/marketpolaroid.zip
Unzip and copy it into your sd card
insert the sd card into the tablet
open file manager (already there on your tablet)
navigate to your sd card and tap to install
ES File Explorer 1.6.1.3.apk
OneTimeInitializer-signed.apk
GoogleServicesFramework.apk
To check root access
- Open es file explorer
- go to settings
- scroll down to Root settings
- make sure there are check sign under Root Explorer and Mount File System (Mine already selected since its fully rooted out of the box) If not, select or check it to have root access to system folder
Install Market
- With ES file explorer Navigate to your ext-sdcard (by tapping the star sign/Favorites) and copy Vending.apk to system/app by the following
- Long press Vending.apk and select copy (you will see drawer icon on the bottom)
- Select favorites (star symbol) and tap phone symbol or / (its the second icon from the left after Home icon)
- Tap system folder than tap app folder
- Once you on app folder, drag the drawer icon up and tap Vending.apk to paste it.
- Once its successfully done you need to change the Permissions to RW R R
by long press the Vending.apk-Properties - than change (under permissions)
If for some reason you cant install OneTimeInitializer-signed.apk and GoogleServicesFramework.apk by tapping it, do the same procedure as copying the Vending.apk
Now reboot and you should have Google Market.
Got mine today this thing is great,i hope someone can get a custom recovery working on here and maybe get some custom roms working on here,i'd like to see what sense 4.0 looks like on here,i think it would look bad ass,out of a 1to10 i give it a 9 pretty freakin sweet for a $100 ics tablet.

Thanks for the file.
followed the instructions, and now mine and the gf's are rooted, and have Google play installed
Found this quite interesting when I was in the Big Lots store yesterday. Almost picked it up then. After reading some info here, seeing that it is pre-rooted and can get the google marketplace, I'm in. Gonna be going tomorrow to get one.
I'm the unlucky one. I bought one today and when I checked the Android version it said 2.3.4.
My model is 701c...gonna take it back and check for the 701i
Anyone know how, or if there's a way to move the status bar to the top rather than the bottom?

I picked one of these up yesterday on an impulse buy. Fairly impressed for the price.
Is there a difference between the 701i and the 701c? The Big Lots I went to only had the 701c.

This is my first android phone and I was wondering if any of the more experienced users could give a couple things to do with the phone to make it more enjoyable.
market.android.com (install apps from your computer)
zedge (free wallpaper/ringtones... not sure how it'll integrate with sense)
tasker/setting profiles
swype keyboard
rooting
now how would you get swype? I havn't been able to use sideloading wonder machine(im on a mac) and it's not on the app store. Also, im just waiting for a fairly easy guide to follow on how to root this phone
First thing you should do would be to check the internal storage.
Mine only had 1GB right out of the box. I think we may have a warranty issue on our hands.
Swype can be had by signing up for the beta. Just google it.
Go nuts in the app store. Customize your home screens. Check out the various skins (slate is my fav) to make it more yours.
Get some great music apps like Pandora and Slacker.
DL some ringtones.
Admire the phones good looks.
Repeat.
mine has 1 gb. too. Isn't that how its supposed to come? 1 gb. internal and 8 gb on the sd card?
Mine has 1 GB aswell, I am pretty sure that most of it is being used up by the phone
Download the background app for more wallpapers, install your preferred on-screen keyboard, put your custom ringtones on the SD card, install your preferred home screen replacement if desired, disable all the things you don't need to run to save battery life, setup your notifications interval the more frequent the more you will waste battery, lower your screen brightness.
Look at the themes and apps section where I have more info on how to install these things.

If i were to use TB and make a back up of the blur home dock and then pull it from my SD card to my computer, then install liberty rom (which dosent have the home dock blur) and then take the backup and put it into my system folder again would that be able to work? end ressult haivng the home dock on liberty?

You may try that but you can just try by installing your ROM then installing the home dock like any other app. And if need be, delete your old launcher.
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA Premium App
yea i tried that with TB but it was crossed out in the app list and when i hit on it i wasnt able to restore it. im looking for a BG app of the dock home. ill try to get a foyo version and see what happens. this is aggervating.
okay so far heres what ive done
okay im running Liberty .3 on GB and im trying to get the GB desk dock back into liberty with no sucess (well very small maybe) ive downloaded a GB framework zip, extracted the dock.apk and went to install it. it shows up on the screen w/ permissions etc and goes to install and just says "app not installed" and thats it. so i went on the phone and looked at the file with Astro and extraced the files into a directory. then rebooted in bootstrap and tried to install the zip that way but didnt work either. ive found a few zips with the dock that KIND of worked. dock moto.zip was the file. i did bootstrap and installed it. i put it in my home dock and it said i was connected to a multimedia station and showed the icon on the notification bar, but thats the only thing that happened.
any suggestions with this? im struggling here to get this to work. this is a important feature to me to get back running.
Hi Guys, here are some original app collections from ICS, which really works for our X10 in 2.2+ ROMZ. I've tried for me and it's all good !
We talk about :
Android Market 3.2.0 http://www.multiupload.com/1C3D7G2O9Q
Google Music 4.0.1 http://www.multiupload.com/L5YFSZPL3J
Google Maps 5.10.2 http://www.multiupload.com/FMOJZHTT70
Street View 1.7.0.4 http://www.multiupload.com/NDAON6OX70
Google+ 2.0.0 http://www.multiupload.com/55LQG5YBW4
We've got also the ICS Laucher REPLICATE app (unofficial) http://syndicateapps.com/ICS/V1.2.0.0/ICS_2.4_Launcher.apk
-> Install like normal apps.
->For those who can't get it work straight, uninstall previous version, then install the new one and it should work.
->If not,
1. Use Root explorer, go to /system/app
2. Mount the system to r/w.
3. Copy/Paste and Replace apps to /system/app folder
4. Now press & hold app and select Permissions
-tick all boxes in the first column
-tick top box in the second column
-don't tick any box in the last column
5. Reboot, you're done !
Thanks... launcher apk work very fine and smooth.
Hey, as an aside, this isn't actually the ICS launcher. It's one that has been put together to look like it. It's available in the market here https://market.android.com/details?id=mobi.SyndicateApps.ICSv2&feature=search_result
Ta,
Lol epic fail...
That launcher isn't nearly as good as the actual ics one. I'm surprised it fooled so many people.
arrr...i was excited when i saw launcher...but that's not the official one.
Still like the look-a-like launcher and will probably keep it until the real one is posted...
//Static
The launcher is really convincing, you people should try it, really fast and smooth
Sent from my X10i using xda premium
The launcher looks nice, and it's very smooth, but sometimes it crashes in the app menu (you have to install default music player I guess). I know it's not even the real one ported, but it looks kinda' nice.
the launcher & APP is just for SE stock??
I just got the phone 2 days ago and have been browsing around for answers and come up with very little....
First off, if I were to do the root, unlock bootloader, etc., am I still only limited to ROMs specificially for the AT&T phone or can I use ARHD for example from the other forum?
Second, is there any way to use the real ICS keyboard instead of HTC's or one off the market? I had a galaxy nexus and really like that one. I am currently using a copy from a while ago from the market and its not as good.
Third, I like the revamped messaging app, but doesn't have the emojin support. Was wondering if there was anything on the market besides GOSMS or Handcent, etc. that could allow that with the stock messaging app.
Appreciate your time and thanks in advance

I also came from a gnex, and love the stock ICS keyboard. The easiest way to safely get it for free is to download one of the latest CM9 nightlies from http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=maguro&type=nightly
Then open the zip, go to system/app, and copy LatinIME.apk out. Put it on your one x and install it. You'll then have to go into settings->language/keyboard, and enable the keyboard.
After that, go to any text field on your phone (like your browser's URL bar), make the HTC keyboard pop up, then drag down your notification bar and you'll see the switch keyboard notification.
No root required, nice and safe.
That is an awesome trick lol...Do you have any other apk suggestions I can use from the CM build?
It works perfectly! Thanks again

I haven't felt the need for anything else from my gnex, so I didn't attempt to use any other apks. I know a few people were requesting the stock sms and dialer, but you really need to be careful pulling system/app apks out, since there could be dependencies.

Welcome!
This forum is for any tips, questions, answers, precautions,bugs, etc. for the LG Lucid.
It's just that simple.
I will start it of with a couple questions...
Question: How to unlock Bootloader?
Answer:
Question: How do I get the LG Lucid to boot into recovery?
Answer:
1. Hold down the power key for 2 seconds
2. You will be presented with a list of phone options, select the one called "Restart"
3. A warning message will appear with two options, select "OK"
4. After the screen blacks out (about 15 secs after step 3) you will see the LG logo.
5. As soon as you see the LG logo hold down the Volume Down key and the Power key for 12 seconds, then release.
6. You will now be presented with a blue screen that has an Android Emote in the center and some text in the top left region of the screen
7. This is the boot recovery screen.
If you LG Lucid has 4.0.4 and got the OTA update you can use the attached file and it will root it for you.
How to root droid 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich on LG Lucid 4G:
Download and extract the attached file to your PC;
Update LG Lucid 4G via OTA
In the folder "lg-lucid-root!" run "RunMe.bat" and follow the steps.
Now your phone should be rooted. Enjoy!
I did not make this, Props to (Script by Bin4ry (thanks to Goroh_kun and tkymgr for the idea) )

Is your USB connection set to Ethernet/Modem? I think it might be set to mass storage, at least that is what the mounting notice leads me to believe.

Unfortunately this device has a locked bootloader meaning if you modify the system mount in any way, it will go into a boot loop. I wouldn't hold your breath for a rom or unlocked bootloader any time soon, unless I can get my hands on an extra Lucid.

Will freezing/disabling the bloatware send my lucid into a security/brick mode?
Also, will installing cwm recovery do any harm?
Love the posts, and offered assistance.
rom toolbox pro
After further investigation, and a great amount of nail biting trial, I have determined that as long as it is not a critical app used for the operation of the device, just about any app can be frozen using rom toolbox pro, and not affect the operation of the device. If any others are wondering, I am posting this to help out, as there is not much resource for the development or use of our chosen device.

This forum is for any tips, questions, answers, precautions,bugs, etc. for the LG Lucid.
It's just that simple.
I will start it of with a couple questions...
Question: How to unlock Bootloader?
Answer:
Question: How do I get the LG Lucid to boot into recovery?
Answer:
1. Hold down the power key for 2 seconds
2. You will be presented with a list of phone options, select the one called "Restart"
3. A warning message will appear with two options, select "OK"
4. After the screen blacks out (about 15 secs after step 3) you will see the LG logo.
5. As soon as you see the LG logo hold down the Volume Down key and the Power key for 12 seconds, then release.
6. You will now be presented with a blue screen that has an Android Emote in the center and some text in the top left region of the screen
7. This is the boot recovery screen.

I've tried this option but it just gave a factory reset option. Any other ways I can unlock the LG Lucid ICS bootloader?
Rollback to gb. Then root, install Cwm, and flash cm10. It is amazing. I couldn't imagine going back to stock ics

I am a dishonest man, and you can always honestly trust a dishonest man to be dishonest. Honestly it's the honest ones you have to watch out for.
Just wondering if the root for the Lucid is the same as that for the Optimus Exceed, which is apparently the prepaid version. The model numbers are the same even - VS840 and VS840PP.
