I have nothing built-in for this at the moment. Is this a big issue for tablet users? I haven't read about how the HTC Flyer implements their palm detection.
[Android Apps and Games] seanw.org:
It's definitely possible to draw properly in the app on tablets as well as on smaller screens. The excellent images by Rick Chandler in the original post were created using Fresco on a 3.7 inch screen. :) There's more great pictures by other users in the Flickr gallery: http://www.flickr.com/groups/fresco/.
[Android Apps and Games] pmcqueen:
amazing. thank you. :)
[Android Apps and Games] devcager:
I am an artist and I really wonder how well it works without touching the screen with the palm. I want to buy a tablet and use it also for sketches and handwritten notes. This is a thing I am really afraid of.

I have no possibility to try it out around my place. Would anyone be so kind to shoot the video showing it on tablet WITH STYLUS?? :) I would really appreciate it so much!
[Android Apps and Games] spino1970:
due to hw...it depends... ;)

On most tablet you just need to use hand perpendicular to screen... but the htc flyer simply disable the touch when you are using the pen...
[Android Apps and Games] seanw.org:
Here's a video pichuerca/Javier posted of himself using Fresco with a stylus on a tablet:

[YOUTUBE]RAPPB8q581k[/YOUTUBE]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAPPB8q581k

It's certainly something you can adapt to. Can you not test a tablet in a shop?

Ah, that would make palm detection much easier. I'm not sure how reliably you could do this other tablets when you can only rely on the position and maybe the pressure of touch points.
[Android Apps and Games] Aztriltus:
Does that mean that the HTC flyer's pen works in this app?
[Android Apps and Games] seanw.org:
I have no special features built-in for this tablet but if the Flyer's pen functions like your finger would in regular apps it should work as expected. Does anyone reading this have a Flyer? :)
[Android Apps and Games] devcager:
and is there any way to program the app the way it would work similar to the HTC Flyer? E.g. ignore the first touch to the screen (lying the palm) and then other touches (pen) to record? Or any similar trick? It would definitely level-up the usage of this app! :)
[Android Apps and Games] seanw.org:
I'd need to investigate more but making this glitch free would be tricky. Some issues:

- Some devices can't reliably give you the position of two touch points and only the distance between the points can be relied upon.

- Requiring the palm to always be placed first before drawing could be cumbersome and will present problems if you want to draw at the bottom of the screen.

- Multi-touch zooming/panning wouldn't work well with this.
[Android Apps and Games] 0mie:
can you ask him which stylus he is using?
[Android Apps and Games] seanw.org:
He posted in the thread that he's using a "8GB Flytouch 3 aPad MID - Android 2.2 iBex Superpad II GPS Tablet PC - 8gb-iBex-Flytouch3" but I don't know which stylus. This tablet has a resistive touch screen and I don't think you can get a stylus that thin for capacitive screens.
[Android Apps and Games] Aztriltus:
Hey I've just bought the flyer and no, the pen doesn't work. You'll need to enable it like the 3 other HTC app such as evernote and scribble. Please do make a compatible version! This app is partly the reason why I would buy the flyer. And I couldn't find it in the market too. Hmm..
[Android Apps and Games] devcager:
What about the feature toggling the tablet mode? - I believe that most of better tablets have "10-point-touch multi-touch". In fact when you use a mobile phone you do not need to rest you hand.

And when you want to draw at the bottom, you would need to touch the finger of the second hand (which holds the device) somewhere in the upper area. Which can be described in a quick tutorial before starting using this feature. Could be experimental for now.

I don't know your opinion but I find it so essential to work on it naturaly. And I also believe that there is no such app out there. Give a chance to try it out and maybe you devolep something really usable during the time, hm?
[Android Apps and Games] seanw.org:
OK, I'll look into how to do this. I'll be uploading Fresco to the market in a few hours by the way.
[Android Apps and Games] seanw.org:
I'll investigate what I can do here. All I meant was that it wasn't obvious how well it would work.
[Android Apps and Games] :
yay. i love betas, but the checking threads and dropboxing it to my n1 is tedious.
[Android Apps and Games] dirtsky:
Very sweet app. I've been using sketchbook mobile by autodesk but this looks like it has a few more features.

There's still no built-in way to do this on the Android Market yet which is a shame. By the way, the lite version is similar to the beta expect for the ad banner and less brushes.

so i found some amazing bootanimations that user 'Dysgenic' made.

link to post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=905538 and i especially loved the androidpartical2 animation

but because im using a HTC phone, and i want a bootanimation that show the HTC logo, i decided to add a HTC logo to it and "Desire HD" text.

So he gets all the credit for the android animation!, i just made it 'Desire HDable'!

i have 2 different animations:

1) high quality - found it not so fast (but not so slow) on my phone, But i dont have my CPU overclocked,...., so i made a second one ....

2) low quality - much faster on my phone, i didnt see any difference, but you might!

the bootanimation has a resolution of 480x800.

and for those who dont want the "Desire HD" text .. go here:

[Eee Pad Transformer General] Knight77:
Hi,

I am checking the updates on the root scene for transformer but I realized that there are some things I cannot understand well so I'm gonna ask you to help me:

ROOT & UPDATE

- There is an update that should be the one avaiable since 26rd...can I update without risking that I won't be able to root? Also because there will be another one on 28th... (or the one I see is already the one that was suppposed to be out 28...)

I am asking this because of this two post:

"Here is the second OTA."

DON'T APPLY THIS IF YOU WANT TO CONTINUE TO RUN THINGS AS ROOT. THIS IS POSTED FOR RESEARCH ONLY. IF YOU COPY THIS TO YOUR SDCARD AND REBOOT INTO RECOVERY IT WILL UNROOT YOUR DEVICE AND THERE IS CURRENTLY NO KNOWN METHOD TO ROOT IT AGAIN!

but then

"New root method found will be out ~30th (to avoid the next OTA)

This allows custom recovery + boot image being flashed to the device

So all you US users can relax

I still do not have a device tho"

So... can I update or not?

ROM

- If I want to root I guess, by now, the only way is the Paul's way but anyway after that...which rom is actually the best & most updated? The one avaiable are:

27 Apr Hr3: MoDaCo Custom ROM for the Asus Eee Pad Transformer (based on the 23/04 update )

ROM] PRIME! v1.0 | Fast | Rooted | Deodexed (based on the 23/04 update )

[ROM] Ti-X Transformation V1.2 deodexed (dunno what's based on)

Thank you!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] frysee:
ROOT & UPDATE

Just take two steps back from anything flashable thats coming directly from ASUS. :)

There are versions of the OTAs with the bad parts stripped out.

US users are currently unable to gain root with the available method, as far as I know this is because of a differing/updated firmware on the US devices. The "new root" which is sheduled for 30 April is primarily helping those US users and anyone who applied one of the OTAs from Asus.

ROMS

Hr3 is based on the 230411 update and got some (minor? havent tested yet) improvements from Paul.

Prime is based on the deodexed "vanilla" ROM which was posted some days ago, together with the improvements from all updates including 230411.

Ti-X is based on the same deodexed vanilla as Prime, but isnt updated with the 230411 improvements AFAIK.

Basically, you're getting pretty much the same on the first two ROMs, Prime has the Spare Parts apps included and is deodexed (lots of threads about that, long story short: if you dont want to theme or mod parts of the ROM you don't need this).

PS: Correct me if I'm wrong :D

greetz
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Knight77:
I'm European user (Italy) and everyone claim that the OTAs by Asus are really good and the Tablet is quite faster!

The point anyway is...if I update then...can I root ?

So if I got it right looks like none of them is based on the last update (yesterday)....mmmh...

By the way when you talk about spare parts apps you mean the Asus apps and customization?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] stridger:
If you don't need root this minute, then feel free to update. We have a root method for the current OTAs which will regain root. We'll release details shortly (including a proper clockworkmod recovery and an insecure boot)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Knight77:
Thank you very much.

Then I'll update and wait for the root when this new method is released.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dc13:
In my about it says based on system dumb of the 4/14/11 ota fir the Ti-X rom all u need to do is read a little.

And deodex is more then just themes and moding apps it helps the dev when making fixes to the rom. Modaco will b deodexed soon most likely also.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] frysee:
Yeah well, I guess if he asks for advice which rom to flash he isn't going to apply any fixes to the rom (yet).

This may be a dumb question but is there a way to enhance my tethering? Sometimes it wont connect at all and sometimes it craps out on me? Any help would be appreciated.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eikiel:
What part won't connect? the data connection? the phone to computer connection? If you are trying to tether over wifi you could try tethering over usb, my guess is it might be a little more reliable.

You could also try downloading PDAnet, it has always worked well for me.

If it is the data connection it is probably your network. I know I sometimes struggle at keeping connected on AT&T.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boxerlover02:

Streakdroid tethering

I'm having similar issues... I'm a minimalist, so that means I would rather most things be done with the least amount of software.

I'm running StreakDroid 1.9 but the native Android app won't tether, USB or WiFi, so when it is necessary I use PDANet, and it works fine...

Another issue, maybe related, is when I drop out of wifi coverage, I have to restart the phone for the 3G connection to kick in and allow me internet again, it won't connect on its own like it should....

Any suggestions would be appreciated...

[Streak 5 General] puunda:
I've had my Streak for almost 4 months now, but have decided to sell it and move on.

The Streak's only 'advantage' to me was the 5" screen. I had been using my HD2 running Android, and have gotten used to the HTC Sense software. Although the Streak didn't have Sense, I was willing to get used to the generic Froyo to get the bigger screen. And yes, I love browsing and playing games on the big screen. But the truth is the slightly bigger screen isn't worth it.

The Streak is too big to use with 1 hand, where as the HD2 and others of that size you can use with 1 hand quite comfortably.

The bigger size of the Streak and the higher battery capacity didn't give the Streak longer life. The battery seemed to last as long as my HD2 running Android.

Other than the screen, I've not found any 'technical' features which makes it a better phone than another high end Android phone. In fact, things like the dual LED flash is much weaker than the smaller HD2.

Even thought the Streak has a bigger screen, the resolution is the same as the HD2, and so I've actually found nothing I can do on the Streak, or any software I can run on the Streak that I can't run on my HD2.

So for me, all the factors above, plus mainly that the bigger screen but the same resolution, which means I can't do anything extra on it seems to me to be a waste.

I hope the next generation 5" Tablet phones outdo has higher specs than the other phones. Until then, I'm going to get another 4.3" HTC

It's been an interesting ride having the Streak and having everyone asking me "What the hell kinda phone is that?" every time I pull it out.
[Streak 5 General] ameiurus:
Seriously? Battery life is the same between the Streak and the HD2? I feel sorry for HD2 owners because I'm lucky to get 8 hours out of my Streak. I used to get more than 24 hours out of my TP2...
[Streak 5 General] Deleted member 3105162:
8 hours?? With moderate to heavy use I can easily get 36 hours...
[Streak 5 General] tritran18518:
I can use my streak for surfing web in 6 hours straight , and I still have 20% left. So there is no complaint about battery. The reason that makes hd2 better than streak as well as make Hd2 is the best phone is that it can run multi OS, and has a ton of Roms.
[Streak 5 General] Deleted member 3105162:
That is a huge plus. The HD2 can run winmo, wp7, and android so whatever you feel like for the week you can run. I've often searched ebay and craigslist for an hd2 just to have as a play phone but I cant justify $300+ just for a phone to play on.
[Streak 5 General] ameiurus:
I guess I need to buy a new battery. I can't even get half that turning off everything and running on EDGE...
[Streak 5 General] niftydl:
The HD2 has a 65K color limitation on the screen hardware (due to Windows Mobile 6 limitation), something I could not live with long term. In terms of hacking it is a great device though.

I agree with some of his points,this is a nice smartphone but after having two android phones and an iPhone 3GS before this one I have to say this thing is not as stable as I thought it would be.I am a little disappointed the only reason for my to keep it a little longer is the screen and the fact that some of the new devices do not seem to be much better/different than this one.

It must be where I live but the GPS takes forever,the stupid cord is a pain sometime when I try to plug the phone in....the camera is a freaking joke when it is a little dark or indoor.It should have a better way to access the memory card.

I don't blame the guy,he's tired of a weird device.
[Streak 5 General] tritran18518:
- my streak lock GPS signal under 10s, good enough.

- I agree with you about USB cable and camera

- what do mean by "better way to access the memory card" ? I don't see any problems with it.
[Streak 5 General] shinydesert:
What I mean by that is that it does not have an external memory card slot.
[Streak 5 General] Deleted member 3105162:
All phones I have used/seen lately have their sd card slots inside the battery cover instead of by some outside access point.
[Streak 5 General] jimk9:
Well, yeah that's the whole reason to get a Streak. It is as good or better overall as any other current phone and it has the biggest screen. If you don't care about or need the screen, why would you possibly wish to carry it around?

Lastly resolution does not equal usability. The same res on a small screen is not as usable as on a larger screen.

Agreed, people seem to easily jump from Streak issues to what I wish for any phone period.
[Streak 5 General] valest:
I need a portable device for html editing,and the streak is my choice.

7' would be too big to carry around,4' or smaller is just not big enough for my long time text viewing.

So far,The streak's 5' screen is just perfect for me,acceptable portability,sharp fonts,great for typing and viewing.

Still,two thing I don't like about this device is the accessory and the maintenance,they are,hard to find and expensive to buy.

I used repair my phone and laptop by myself,so "easy to maintain" is a big plus for me,and that's not the streak.

Never had a problem with my streak nor will I ever give it up. If the streak two every makes its way to the market that will be my next buy. If the screen is any smaller then I'll stick to my streak.
[Streak 5 General] RussianSolja:
Isn't the HD2 a windows based phone? How are you even going to compare the two? Both with two different operating systems. If you were comparing the Droid vs The Streak maybe there would be a better understanding. the streak is not made for everyone. Sorry to hear that the streak was not what you expected it to be. I've used every OS out there. And to have Android OS on a 5" screen and also to be able to make phone calls from the device as well, I dont know about you but I find that pretty fascinating.
