answer:I did a little exploring, most notably in the XDA forums and it seems that they have some stuff for the Ares 8, but haven’t quite got a simple, reliable way to deal with the Ares 11 yet. Personally, I think that a XDA would probably have that sort of information first if it were available, so I’m going to assume from what I’ve read that it’s still “in progress” and would advise against messing around with it too much for the moment. I’ve rooted and flashed a few Android devices before and I find that even the methods that are tested and proven to work are hairy enough that I feel that trying unproven methods is nothing that a novice should even try. Your caution is warranted. I notice that CyanogenMod doesn’t even have unofficial ports for any of the Nextbook Ares line… odd…
