I'm not sure what you mean. Please explain with more details.

The brightness slider in ics does not change the screen brightness.
Any ideas on how to fix this?

Do a factory reset in recovery mode. If that doesn't work try reflashing (reinstalling) the stock ROM (factory software) from Polaroid's website.

It should work. Download version 1.6 and the latest version of the program, plug in your tablet with USB Debugging on in developer options, select "Root only". Now, use the latest version of the program and select "Add Google Apps".
If this works for you or it doesn't work for you, report back here with your results.
Edit: I forgot, the program doesn't yet support Google Apps for JB. Skip the last parts and just try to root.

This is just feedback here - no success. I have tried v1.6 and 2.1b with my PMID705x - Android 4.1. I put the tablet in debug mode and stay awake (in Developer Options), connected it to my computer via USB, activated USB Storage on the tablet and started the All-In-One program (first v1.6, then v2.1b) on my PC. Nothing happens. v 1.6 shows Waiting for device to become ready: [Waiting]. v2.1b shows: Checking if ADB server is running: Service Running; Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.29 (no status beside this - don't know if there should be); and Waiting for device to become ready: Waiting. I have tried shutting off USB Storage and starting again. Nothing happens. Any suggestions? I would like to root my tablet. Google Play would be a nice addition, too. Thanks.

Maybe you should read the OP...(original post)
Also, this program is for Ice Cream Sandwich (4.0) and Jelly Bean (4.1, 4.2). This won't work on Gingerbread (2.3), so you won't get your device rooted here! Go to your device's subforum!

Android Pizza,
I no longer have the source-code for this project as the Hard Drive with all of my development stuff was stolen. To fix the root check issue would mean to code the app from the ground up again. I don't necessarily mind doing so, however at the moment I don't have any type of android device. I may pickup another cheap Polaroid tablet in the near future to continue development with. But as of right now, this project is on hold. If anyone has a tablet they would like to loan or donate to the cause, I will be happy to start development up again.
I would also like to mention at this time that I am working on a new multi-display, cross platform presentation / video playback system. Allowing you to sync video playback between multiple devices controlling everything from one master. You can easily create a video wall with some spare computers (or even some raspberry pis), and cheap monitors.
Still in alpha, but proof of concept is working... I'll be working on adding features. Initial support will be Windows, Mac, Linux (including Raspberry PI). But, I hope to bring the client app to Android, IOS, and Windows Phone in the near future as well.
Shoot me an email if you are interested in this project. wayne.hartmann@live.com

18Polaroid All in One is a C++ application that will easily and quickly Root, Un-Root, and Install / Remove Google Applications and Google Services Framework. This software is designed for the PTAB8000, and PMID800. However, should work for similar tablets running Ice Cream Sandwich and Jelly Bean (Google Apps only supported on Android 4.0.x). If you use this software with any other device please post your results in the this forum.
Requirements
- Microsoft Windows (Tested on Windows 7 and Windows XP)
- ADB Drivers Installed
- Android Device Running 4.0 or 4.1 (Google Apps only supported on 4.0.x)
Recommended Method
Use version 1.6b to root your device, then use version 2.1b to install Google Framework.
UPDATE 8/11/14 -- Why doesn't this work with my device?
I just wanted to clear a few things up. I have had a few inquires about PAIO (Polaroid AIO) not installing Google Framework on their devices. The framework included in the latest releases is only compatible with Android 4.0.x. While PAIO v1.6b should be able to root 4.0, and 4.1 devices, the application will refuse to load the framework on a non-compatible version of android. If your tablet is not running a variant of Ice Cream Sandwich, it's simply not going to work. If we continue development we can support newer versions of Android. But, for now you would have to install the framework manually. If you would like to pursue a manual install I recommend you check out this page: http://wiki.rootzwiki.com/Google_Apps Make sure you know what you are doing, and install the version that is correct for your device. I'm waiting to get more feedback on the poll before I decide to continue this project.
Have a great week everyone,
Wayne
UPDATE 8/10/14 -- [Quick Survey] Should we continue development?
As I am sure some of you have noticed by now, this project has not been under active development for over a year now. We had an event that resulted in a loss of the source code for the project. As a result, the project was put on the back burner as it worked "OK"-ish. Between the 1.6b and 2.1b releases it did meet the requirements at the time, which was to root and install a full play store on the PTAB8000, and PMID800 devices. While these devices may not be as popular at this time (they had a fairly high failure rate). There are other Generic devices that people have used this program on, with mixed results. I did have a PTAB8000 with a cracked screen donated a while back. As long as we have people to test/debug, and support the project however they can. I am willing to start the project from scratch (again).
All I ask is for a few minutes of your time to take a quick survey to help me understand the interest we have in this project.

UPDATE 1/21/13 -- Polaroid AIO v2.1b [Beta Release]
After a nightmare's worth of coding Polaroid All in One v2.1b is finally here. This update aims to provide the best possible user experience. While utilizing the latest patches discovered by the team. I would like to give a special shout out to Android Pizza for taking the initiative to get a fully stocked Play Store on the PTAB8000. Special thanks to the guys over at FreakTab for providing the permission files needed for the patch on the PTAB8000. Last but not least I would like to thank all of you for testing every release. You're feedback is critical to this product. Every post has helped with PAIO's development process.
PTAB8000 users please make sure you are running a stock firmware. If you have tried earlier versions of PAIO, or have used any other files to patch your tablet, you must re-flash your tablet. Please see the section below on flashing your PTAB8000.
UPDATE 12/30/12 -- Polaroid AIO v1.6b [Old, Stable Release]
I am leaving this version posted as it seems to have been the most stable version. This will work with Android Pizza's tutorial on the PTAB8000, and works perfectly on the PMID800. It is recommended this version be used to root, and 2.1b used to install the framework (if supported on your device).

Honestly, I have no idea. I might do some experimenting to find out soon.
Until then, we'll just have to wait for some feedback!
AndroidPizza2
Fair enough, I'll inspect the files a little more closely and see if we can shrink it all down. Did you have to run the Play Store before using the second set of files? Or does it work just the same if you copy both sets and then run the Play Store for the first time since the re-flash?
I updated the Main Post to reflect your method and created Mediafire mirrors of your files.
Regards,
Wayne2
Sounds good, In the mean time I'm going to do a GUI rewrite of PolaroidAIO.2
Sort of, you see, when I got Google Play working I used one permission package then another. They don't seem to work alone. I tried to make this tutorial as close as it can be to what I did to get it working.
