I'm still using the r1 PND. Is there any point to going to r2 if r1 is working for me?

I had a few hiccups so here is a step-by-step for those who need it.
The F1 2012 timing app works, so I am beyond stoked.
Great work Notaz, thank you.
- Ensure you are running SZbeta5a.
- Overclock, enable wifi, then run the Android PND.
- Once you're in Android, you need to go into settings and select your wifi network.
- At the Android home screen, type 'slideme' into the search bar.
- On the Slideme website, search for 'ES File Explorer'. Download it. (thanks scorpio16v for the tip)
- Once downloaded & installed, you can use it to install .APKs from the second SD card.
- Optionally, install Rotation Locker to keep all your apps in landscape mode.

For now. Hopefully Notaz is able to do another release with a file explorer bundled.

also can you put files like music and vids anywhere on sd2 and android will automatically detect them?

I think it was mentioned in the thread that it does that. Try it!

Kindle Reader works like a charm. Which is the only app that I couldn't find a good solution for on the Pandora..
Outside of restarting Android, is there a way of manually rotating the display if an app decides to turn the screen on you?

Is it safe to do a hard reset (Pandora button + power switch) while Android is running?
If not, it would be nice to have a button or something that safely kills Android.

I know that. I was talking about something for if/when Android is unresponsive. Maybe I'm just being paranoid, though.

Does this Android build supports Graphic acceleration, or it's all software ?

Got android running and in trying to manually enter my SSID in I realized the keymap in Android doesn't match the Pandora's. I have to use fn+d to make a dash in the middle for example, as my SSID is hidden due to my neighbors constantly hacking my WPA key. Any way of fixing the keymap so I don't have to open my network to them?

The easiest solution is to use the on screen keyboard for anything which doesn't work on the actual keyboard, just tap on the text entry field and it should show up.
