Resetting the tablet
We are working on finding a mechanism to enter recovery mode or otherwise fully reset the tablet (please lets us know if you discover how). For now you need to connect you tablet via USB to a PC with Android's ADB program installed.
1. run a command prompt
2. adb shell // No need to sudo as you have root access
3. cd data
4. rm -rf .
5. exit
6. adb reboot
That will wipe **all the data**, in essence resetting the device to its default state when it first was shipped. The first time user experience will run again.
Warning! Do not turn off ADB debugging in the settings or this reset will not work again and you'll be unable to reset your tablet. Debugging is on by default.
