[kwlug-disc] OmniROM on Acer Iconia A500 tablet

[Khalid Baheyeldin]

The slides for the presentation will available on the kwlug.org site shortly.

Just wanted to mentioned a few followup points that I did not have the
time to go through during the meeting:

- The KitKat OmniROM for that tablet comes with sshd (from BusyBox).
It just needs to be added to a script so it starts from init (just
remember to remount /system read-write, do the changes, then change it
back to read-only). After you are done, you can ssh from your desktop
to the tablet and get a root shell.

- You can run Lubuntu 14.04 on the Acer A500 tablet. I did not do it
myself, but full info is available here:

- OmniROM supports many devices, per here
http://omnirom.org/supported-devices/

But some people take that further and customize the customized ROM
further. The Tegraowners.com OmniROM is one such case.
