Go for Simply Honey - the best I tried so far.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcarr622:
Best ROM threads are incredibly stupid and pointless. Try them yourself and see. It's all a matter of personal opinion.

IMO any ROM based off of a given Samsung firmware is going to perform nearly the same, the chefs just do a variety of small changes/optimizations/modifications, they can't really alter what Samsung has provided.

Kernels make a bigger difference than ROMs by far because we can actually modify the source code.. If you don't want to have to decide just flash stock ROM and then flash a custom kernel. I like Hardcore's but he doesn't have a Gingerbread version yet.

Have been on Darky V10 RC3 for a few weeks and it works great. No bugs, good speed, no lags, etc. Yesterday I flashed Juwe's ROM and so far I'm impressed ... Seems smoother than Darky's ROM ...

Goatrip 1.7 was the most stable rom I'm currently running.

Power saving, cool UI, mostly important, stable, you know.

I tried CM7, it was quick and beautiful, but many FC :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yken:
I tried all of them. Crickelo, juwe, andromedia, goatrip, darky.

Now i ues criskelo 35. Not much difference between them. Just themes are different.

And another opinion: DOC's rom. The last Beta (v2.1) is running great.
[Droid 2 General] wwonka69:
I love the cm7 and wish someone would make a cm7 rom for the D2.
[Droid 2 General] rusty815:
Its pretty much impossible with the locked bootloader. Cm7 needs a custom kernel that the locked bootloader doesn't allow, so were stuck with stock.
[Droid 2 General] wwonka69:
well that sucks.
[Droid 2 General] bladearronwey:
Try liberty, it's about as good as it gets at the moment. I think keyjar is also working on a gummyJar GB version, which should be a solid rom as well. There is a working UD port for D2, but it's still on RC2 and hasn't been updated in a while, though I ran it for a few weeks and it was pretty solid. Liberty GB is also in the works, though not publicly available atm. CM7 isn't really necessary for the D2, since most of what you would get can be had in other roms currently available, just via some different means.
[Droid 2 General] mordant80:
any way to get the lockscreen gestures currently?
[Droid 2 General] whezzel:
Cm7 DOES NOT need a custom rom. It will run better if it does but it's not required. But we don't have aosp Rome such as cm7 because the locked bootloader makes it hard to make things work

[Droid 2 General] ZaneKaminski:
Alright I wanna clear this up.

Cyanogenmod is a custom rom. We can install those on our Droid 2/X devices with Koush's Bootstrap tool. That said, we cannot install a custom kernel. Thus, cm-kernel for Droid 2/X is probably not going to happen anytime soon. However, that is not to say that Cyanogenmod 7 requires a specific kernel. I see no reason why Cyanogenmod 7 could not run on the stock Motorola kernel.

Moving on, cvpcs is working on a Cyanogenmod port for Droid X (and thus also Droid 2). When the rom will be stable, however, is unclear. As far as I understand, it's not really working.

[Droid 2 General] kevcube:
More importantly, this is the development section, not the request section. There is no request section for a good reason.
[Droid 2 General] jediman:
Ok, for those who aren't searching these days...

1 - Cyanogen won't come out officially with a D2 port until Moto unlocks the bootloader

2 - Cyanogen actually doesn't need a custom kernel to do what it does

2a - Go use Liberty..its effectively Cyanogen sans a 'custom kernel' and does all the same.

Me, I'm flashing back to stock for a while. Liberty 2.0 is causing me some headaches as of late and I can't download @#$ from the market it seems cause its like everything is fricken blocked now.
[Droid 2 General] SuperDeform:
Thanks for clearing this up
[Droid 2 General] ljbaumer:
Also motorola probably will never unlock the bootloaders on their phones so getting CM7 will be impossible
[Droid 2 General] SuperDeform:
With xda theres no impossible
[Droid 2 General] BPMOmega:
I thought Motorola stated that they would unlock the bootloader, but it was up to the carriers whether or not they would allow for it.
[Droid 2 General] Epsylon3:
Jordan umts is the codename of the Defy... which is also locked.... and we are the 4th device in cyanogen 7 number of installs stats
[Droid 2 General] whezzel:
If it were there carriers fault then y do some phone come locked and some come unlocked? Motorola is just trying to put the blame on someone else

Sent from my DROID2
[Droid 2 General] BPMOmega:
Originally, yes, it was Motorola's policy to lock the bootloader, but they had announced recently that they would leave the bootloader unlocked, at least for phones on carriers that allowed it (so, I would at least guess that AT&T would be out of the picture, since they've even been controlling of the ability to sideload apps).

[G Tablet General] edirector:
Viewsonic (or some other entity) is releasing press statements about G Tablet. The recent Woot, Amazon, Tiger Direct, Office Depot and other sales outlet sells of G Tab, is having impact. I've seen this...http://www.crn.com/news/client-devi...;jsessionid=5UthF2SIYG3aiVIVCeR2Bw**.ecappj02...

quite a few places this week. They are saying they have upgraded G Tablet but are not calling it G Tablet v2. Some are quoting it as a re-release, upgrade or newly released edition of G Tab or such. I did notice the difference between the 1st and 2nd edition of the G Tab I personally purchased. Has anyone else? Also, there is a link in the article that takes you to a newly designed Viewsonic G Tablet page.
[G Tablet General] jerdog:
There has not been any hardware upgrades - this post has a number of inconsistencies as well. "which includes an additional 1.6 GHz of over-clocking room on the device"? I know for a fact they are not making new gTablets. And they do not have any in stock either, and they're not selling them to VAR's. They are not doing the gTablet anymore - they have moved onto new tablets (VPad10, VPad7, VB7).

If you notice in the article it says "reportedly" a few times....

And the new gTablet website is just retooled given they said 2 weeks ago they were working on updates to the site and they apologized for not keeping it up to date.

This is a bunch of erroneous information on that news article. Gotta love the journalism!
[G Tablet General] spamhead:
Nothing new there. They're just badly paraphrasing this Androidcommunity.com blogpost
[G Tablet General] edirector:
Apparently you did not read my post I said VS or some other entity and about the hardware you are wrong. I'm on my second one and the second one is noticeably different than the first. So they did do some hardware upgrades. I can lay my 2nd one vertical or horizontal flat either direction and still have crystal clear viewing angles. So obviously you don't know for a fact.
[G Tablet General] jerdog:
My apologies - I meant to say they have not made any recent hardware upgrades - assumed that was implied given the way the article itself was written. But I do know for a fact they have not upgraded anything in awhile and have moved on from a device perspective. There were a couple batches made, the most recent I believe was around the first of the year. They'll still support it - as they have stated - but most likely only until the warranties on them run out....

It's not a press release, and as noted above it's a poor article written about another article...
[G Tablet General] thebadfrog:
And you may as well know that jerdog is an authorized reseller for Viewsonic.
[G Tablet General] xmr405o:
Really? That's cool.
[G Tablet General] boufa:
Then maybe when mine comes in tomorrow afternoon I might end up with better viewing angles. The rest of it is not that important. Mostly fluff, and bells and whistles that will go away when flashed.
[G Tablet General] stuaross:
A new screen would be nice on these since they are so great in every other way when modded. Either way, I love my Gtab as is.
[G Tablet General] aasoror:
Are you implying that they did change the screen ?

Since you do have the 2 reversions, this can be easily proven with a side by side photo shot.

Thanks in advance,
[G Tablet General] edirector:
Agreed that's why I purposely phrased my post that way. This is not the first article I read this week stating this same thing. What is strange is viewsonic pulled the firmware update or software upgrade so why do these articles keep surfacing? Not just from non-reputable blogs. I don't get it, what is the point?

For the other poster the screen has changed. I can't figure out if where you buy g tablet from makes a difference on what you get.
[G Tablet General] dfin13:
Definitely would be interesting to see. I've heard people say the angles aren't as bad as others have said, but no one has claimed it's crystal clear. The horizontal angle is better when the screen is upside-down, but not many apps support that.
[G Tablet General] edirector:
Prove it, you are funny. Don't count on that happening. The first version's viewing angles weren't that bad and greatly improved with those nvdia drivers i posted and I caught flack for saying they made a drastic difference until someone here tried them and agreed. I've had issues with the g tab but display viewability was never one of them. My issues have been sound related but that has been remedied too.
[G Tablet General] ssmr2t:
Oh no.... Here he goes again people :eek:
[G Tablet General] goodintentions:

[G Tablet General] rmd0311:
Not sure what all is happening here... But I just packaged up my GTAB to return it. The screen was not as bad as some said, but bad enough where I did not like it and hence returning it.

I read alot on my device (whatever it may be) and the GTAB while fine was not good enough. I went Nook original, IPAD, to GTAB which is back in the box for return. From here it will probably be the Acer Iconia or Xoom... Probably Iconia if the screen is good enough, we will find out monday.

Viewsonic is NOT listening to customers

Below is a response to my complaint to the BBB about their farming our support and lack of responsivenes to custoemr needs. I thought that this tells a lot about what is going on as well.

From Viewsonic-

Company's Response

Company's Initial Response - Posted 04/20/2011

According to the existing license agreement between ViewSonic and U.S. Merchants, the licensee, USM has the obligation to enter into agreement(s) with Third Party Manufacturer and/or Authorized Service Provider(s) for the provision of warranty services and technical support to End Users. Therefore, any such inquiries pertaining to service and technical support should be directed to U.S. Merchants. ViewSonic has escalated the customer service issues to U.S. Merchants management to assist in obtaining a resolution on behalf of Customer. U.S. Merchants Contact: 310-228-4000.

Initial Response Summary

Please contact US Merchants for assistance.
[G Tablet General] jerdog:
Yeah - and that points to what a lot of us have been saying about this. Viewsonic doesn't really care that much about the gTablet as they have moved on and US Merchants are the ones who are responsible for the support. Yelling and screaming and whining and complaining to Viewsonic isn't really going to get you very far, and doing the same to US Merchants won't really either given that they're just a distributor and don't have a vested interest in this tablet going anywhere. Doing the same to nVidia only gets us as far as them stating the fact that the manufacturer needs to request what they want....
[G Tablet General] bjd238:
BBB and Viewsonic

Jerdog

At least I have my complaint filed with the BBB which is not good press for them as well. The more filings the more notoriety they get which is not good for business.

One person yelling may not make a difference but when it turns into a chorus then people will listen.
[G Tablet General] jerdog:
The BBB is a good route to go - however in this case, it's not a negative hit on Viewsonic. Your complaint was filed against Viewsonic, but the BBB reports that it's not them you should be talking to - but US Merchants.

So for a cacophony of voices to be heard, they need to be in unison and directed at the right location - otherwise it sounds muddy. And having been a business owner, you know that there will always be a group of people who don't like what you do - and are influenced to act by the minority over something they may not understand. Now the way you deal with those complaints is one thing, but a large company like Viewsonic who's bottom line is in no way affected by tablets, they may have all the complaints already factored into an acceptable risk....

Think about all the complaints towards AT&T about the cell phone service... everyone knows they suck, but they continue to grow in users. Much of that has to do with the iPhone - and that's a big deal. However, in this case Viewsonic makes kickass monitors and that's their business.... so any complaints about a subset of their business may not matter given it's not their focus.
[G Tablet General] goodintentions:
Just as I suspected. VS really does want the gtab to go quietly into the night and die. They have no interest in seeing the gtab rising in popularity. They're too busy still trying to push the viewpads 7 and 10, which are a total failure from the start. The viewpad 7, until very recently, was priced at about the price of a galaxy tab but with inferior hardware. In the last week, it dropped from $499 to $299. And the viewpad 10 dual boots between windows 7 and android 1.6. It's absolutely useless because android 1.6 is horribly out of date and windows 7 isn't designed for a mobile device.

The one tablet by viewsonic that's doing well is the gtab, and yet VS wants to see it die. It's like VS is being run by idiots.
[G Tablet General] bjd238:
Jerdog and BBB

Jerdog,

That was the response from Viewsonic not the BBB.

The BBB then wanted me to respond if Viewsonic's solution was satisfactory.

I replied that it was not as I had no relationship with US Merchants. all my calls to the 800 number for support were asnwered as Viewsonic Support so my issue is with Viewsonic.
[G Tablet General] jerdog:
Ahh interesting... though with the Viewsonic agreement with US Merchants they would be required to answer as Viewsonic Support as terms of that agreement - which wouldn't make it Viewsonic's issue necessarily - but maybe the BBB will allow it.... interesting to see how that turns out.
[G Tablet General] jerdog:
Let's stop the bashing of different competitive companies. Or I will lock and close this thread.

Let's stay on the topic in the OP and not what it has been the past 2 posts.
[G Tablet General] ssmr2t:
Mr. Jerdog,

Thank you for your response.

I am not bashing VS, I respect them for their great products and what they have achieved till this day. I really admire where they are at!

All I'm doing is just stating the facts to people who want to hear my opinion... Or at least that's what I am payed for.

either root the phone or buy the tethering package.

I don't know what to tell you. EVERYONE else who has tried to use this feature it has worked correctly. So it's either T-Mobile blocking you, you are doing something wrong, or there is something messed up with the Kernel... the only other two things i can suggest is download VISIONary.apk and the Google wi-fi tether code from

Here

. And temp rooting to wi-fi tether your phone.

or

USE PDA net and a bluetooth dongle.... but you will not be able to access https sites after a trial period.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h22aboi:
This had actually happened to me too...

1. Make sure you pwr off phone, power back on. Dont start wifi app.

2. Install useragent add on on your computer browser, change useragent to android or ie mobile or etc...

3. Delete all forms of stored wireless networks from your computer.

4. Turn on phone wifi tethering app, connect manually. Make sure ssid password are correct.

Try that?
[Xoom General] thehavock18:
Do you guys think google gets around on the web and reads what we are saying? If so do they try and listen or do you think they are on their own path.

Reason I say this is because I feel google and android could totally take over the market if they got a couple of things working. Google Music for one. I know they are working it but that is one of the only things I miss about the Iphone is how easy it was to buy / download / sync music.

Another thing is Itunes. It syncs everything pretty easily. I like how we can browse our file system put things where we want but it seems most people want the easiest way possible. if I buy a song, book or app to just be able to plug my device into a computer and just sync without any interaction.

What do you all belive google could do to completely take over the market? Or what would you like to see to make your android experience better?
[Xoom General] KerryG:
Have you watched sales reports for the past two quarters? Android isn't losing market share anywhere, in fact they are gaining it in every segment. I don't think they have anything to worry about at the moment.
[Xoom General] Kcarpenter:
I think, iTunes is retarded. There is absolutely no reason that in 2011, you need to EVER plug your phone into your PC to 'Sync'. Maybe pull a few large movies over, that OTA is not feasible for - but everything else should be done in the cloud.

One of my biggest issues with iPhone is the requirement of iTunes, even if you just use it once when you first turn the phone on.

Makes it hard to replace a computer with an iPad if it has to be sync'd with a computer to use it the first time.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paulc35:
Well I had ordered my G-tablet from Amazon and when I got it it was sealed in the cellophane and everything looked in order. When I charged it and powered it up though it didn't go through the new setup per say as the manual states.

Plus many apps were already on the home screen like angry birds. Plus a live walpaper was set as the walpaper. I had trouble trying to install some apps plus I kept getting force closes on almost all apps. I decided to do a factory reset.

Let me say now it looked and performed like a brand new one going through the steps. Like setting up family and name accounts. setting the time. wireless connection...

This makes me unhappy because anytime somebody returns a product for whatever reason the item is suppose to go back to the manufacturer to be checked out and repaired if necessary. Then I believe they are sold as refurbished.

This sounds like someone at amazon got it back under the belief that somebody just wanted to return it. They in turn put plastic wrap on it and resold it.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edirector:
Send it back stating what you just stated. It's your money you decide what you want to spend it on. You were purchasing new and that is what you were expecting, however, that is not what you feel you got. So send it back for one that makes you happy.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheKaz:
I believe a lot of gTablets are coming like this.. I got mine 2 or 3 months ago, and experienced exactly this.

As for Angry Birds, I believe they advertise this as coming pre-loaded on the gTablet.

You can return it, but I bet many here will tell you that you'll wind up with exactly the same scenario on the new one they send you.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dfin13:
Mine came the same way. I remember someone posting here that a Viewsonic rep said many (or all?) tablets were tested before being sealed up. If you load up the web browser, you might even notice it's got CNN.com cached and displayed, which seems to be part of the test suite. Your tab is likely new as Amazon stated, you just weren't the first human to touch it :)
