After flashing this Firmware the dalvik cache will need to rebuild, as a result Office Suite and Sometimes Pandahome will display error on the first boot. Subsequent boot should be clean and error free.

One issue with 91Pandahome is when the Home screen loads it will display in Landscap Mode even if the Novel is in the Portrait Position. Rotate the Novel CLOCKWISE until the Power connector is at the top. Then rotate counter-clockwise back to Portrait position and it will correctly display Portrait. This version (and all current home screens) will not function in Landscape position with the power connector at bottom or Portrait position upside down.

There is no market installed on this build, however I have installed the Aptoide Repository cleint and added the nchntr experience v1 repository. Also with the Bookmarks in Dolphin to the Apk repositories almost all free market apks are available. NOTE Some repositories have Pirated Full Versions of apks available, it is the responsibility of the User to conform to copywrights. To the best of my knowledge all apks included in this firmware are free, freeware, shareware or demo versions.

THIS IS A BETA RELEASE !! Intermediate Users Only Please.

Note each file needs to be download and installed (then come back and grab the next one then repeat the process)
To install you need connect AC power to your Novel and then Turn on the power then press the up volume key at the same time
Once you see the Blue Pandigital Novel screen then release the both the power and volume up key


1. Download OEM 7_24 ROM
2. Download MOD Rooted Experience v1.2
3. Patch for Rotation 7_24
4. Patch for Volume 7_24
5. Patch for BusyBox 7_24
6. Patch for Status Bar 7_24

DO NOT UNZIP FILES JUST COPY THEM TO YOUR EXTERNAL SD CARD ROOT

Note: This is the MOD Rooted PDN ROM I use for my PDN White PCB_v1 because of the issue with Video 5 second Pause Delay with Current ROM from PDN and other Rooted ROM.
With this one the issue is gone!

Please do not repackage my releases without permission, or without linking back to the original post on slatedroid. I find this not only misleading where credit is due, but also in accurate. You have removed the read me and installation instructions, as well as this release is now out of date.

They're not repackaged. Same files just made easier to install them in order. That was the issue I had where I was not able to install your package. To get it to run. I did tell you about it? But I didn't get a reply back from you? Note: I could never get your package to load onto my PDN. The above links works.

Anyway your a member here, now you take over. More of you ROM coders need to come over here and support your MOD ROM. I just did what I could to help out the members here. No harm was intended. All is good your ROM will help those with Hardware v1.

Note: OEM 7_24 didn't come from your package. Nor did I see it in that package.

Well now I can link you member name since your a member here.

I prefer to stay at Slatedroid with support for my releases. Please Provide a link to the slatedroid thread for this topic here so the people who would like the full instructions and original releases may locate them.
