[Eee Pad Transformer General] earlyberd:
Windows hadn't swept the world market share until Windows 95 came out. Before that, System 7 was way more user-friendly than 3.0 and 3.1. Windows just made more sense at the time because it could utilize the new capabilities of the Intel 80286 and 80386, could be installed on various sets of hardware, and greatly benefited from the Multimedia Extensions support introduced in 1991. Apple waited until the mid-90's to open up MacOS to be installed on more various sets of hardware, but by that time it was too late to try to beat Microsoft at its own game.

And you can definitely unseat the king in a very short time, as we've seen with the smartphone market. I seem to remember the iPhone leading the smartphone market mid way through 2010 at 26% market share, and then over the course of a year Android managed to blast past to 40% market share.

The key to widespread adoption of any OS is hardware compatibility. Not everybody wants or needs the same set of hardware, and restricting yourself to one very specific set of hardware means you can only sell to one particular type of customer. No amount of apps with a snappy UI will make up for the fact that the iPad has only one I/O port, when the majority of computer users today rely heavily on simultaneous usage of USB, HDMI, wired ethernet, and SD card readers.

I agree so I will offer 250 for the iPad you are selling :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] kkcheong:
No one said Tablet going to be Laptop like. The reason is laptop to most of us is Windows which have wide software availability.

I have to agree with you on the Windows.

But I have something to say about the part on the mobile OS. There's few reasons why Apple lose to Android:

a) Apple close ecosystem and the price of iPhone.

b) Google basically give away their OS free. So Android is used from cheap phone until high end phone.

c) No other competitor to Android in open OS (The only open OS (open but not free) Winmo 6.x and Symbian is crappy. Means there's 0 competitors).

But I think the most important reason is Android OS which have almost iPhone like slickness has no competitors at all at that time. iOS and BBOS is close OS.

I swear to god I HATE Anti-Apple ppl bc. Your arguements are to smash Apple praise X product. LMAO I owned no lie playbook, iPad 1/2, and Xoom. I kept my Xoom only why... Is it better than the iPad 2 ? No. I like to hack. Now, out the box go to best buy and see the sluggishness of Android then the iPad 2. Your telling me its more about ports than a 50 year old at best buy who is testing Tablets and everything the iPad does is snappier. No he is going to research the camera megapixels, screen resolution, hdmi/SD ports; be real.

Also bc. Of iTunes really what makes the tablet so great. Android Honeycomb is a more independent 'hacker' friendly. Similar to Windows 7 and OSX Lion. But Windows still run more sluggish than a halt speced macbook pro.

ATM iPad is best user experience tablet and all the Androids are not. They have not achieved software stabilization.

And please don't say to 'hack' because that's stupid and shouldn't be needed.

Actually, unlike Motorola with the Xoom, Asus has managed to get the desktop setting to stick. I did nothing special, just starting using it and the TF defaults to desktop mode. That was one of my pet peeves with the Xoom, and one of my favorite things about the TF.

Hey guys sorry I couldn't decide which forum to put this in.

Anyhow Im running nightly builds and I signed up for swype on the website, downloaded-installed it. When I one touch type the letters appear, but the actual swype feature does not work, no words come up in the text box. After a while it gave me a message saying this keyboard is not made for this device.

Does anybody have the apk for glacier? Or is there another solution. I'm horrible with pushing through adb and I'm not home anyhow to try. Thanks in advance for the help!

I've installed Swype many of times on my many different ROMs. This guide is correct, but for some reason I can't get it to work on the latest CM7 either. I'm probably going to flash back to down to an older version. Seemed to operate a little bit better anyways.

Having the same problem. It would work after a fresh install of Swype, then after a while, it loses the swype ability. I'd have to reinstall it afterwards. It wouldn't be too bad, only I lose the words that I added in the dictionary. On CM 7.0.2. Any help would be nice.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xmatrix13:
I was just wondering that if I am going to update my kernel is it necessary to re-install the rom or do I just install the zip with clockwork and away i go? I've searched the forum and couldn't find anything regarding it, I would appreciate the help! Thanks.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imisky:
you can just use CWM to installed the kernels without installing the rom but there might be some compatibility issues, so check before doing it.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xmatrix13:
Ok because the reason I'm asking is because I have SupeAosp with the Trinity kernel but I'm thinking on either upgrading for Trinity 12 to 14 or trying out James Bond Kernel and I thought that there might be some prep work involved.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
just flash the newer kernel on top. be sure its compatable with the rom. if you do have issues, just reflash the rom(that will bring you back to the roms "stock" kernel).
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaX05:
In this case you can test out different kernels but make sure you have the trinity kernel file in the root folder in case which ever kernel you do flash doesn't work out.

In such a case you would just boot into CWM and re-flash the morfic kernel.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xmatrix13:
Thanks for the insight, I look forward to testing out many kernels!

Odin works great and if you are afraid or dont know how to use odin

another thing you could do if you dont have any roms or nandroid on sdcard and you wipe data is load clockwork and go to "mounts and storage" select "mount sdcard" plug your USB from computer in and you will be able to drag and drop rom onto you sd card from clockwork and install that way

[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] waxlabo:
i decided to purchase this for my transformer and i just got the case today. the price to me was pretty good, the quality of this carrying case or bag is great. i am not sure how many people just went for the tablet itself or intend to purchase it along with the docking keyboard. I plan on getting my tablet with the docking keyboard and from the looks of it right now, there should be enough room to fit them both inside this case nicely. i fit my tablet in there and there is still room to spare. there is also separate zipper compartment for other small accessories. flash drives, charging cables... etc. everything should fit fine. they also have a brown one available but that cost a few bucks extra, it might even match up with the transformer well. but i went for the black to save a few bucks and you can't really go wrong with black. while this is a bit thicker than just a plan sleeve, i feel it doesn't really show in this case. it looks slim for all the room it has. there are handles to make it easy to carry and even an additional/optional body strap included. i am sure this may not be for everyone but if it helps a few people, that would be great. :)

Be sure to put the syndicate rom or another ec05 rom on the phone's sd card before converting to ext4 with clockword mod recovery 3. if you already converted by accident use odin to odin back to ec05 with ext4 and and root precooked in. before you do this back up your data with clockwork or something else if you can still boot into android.

OK, do you have a card reader? If so, pull the battery out of the phone, download the EC05 flashable ROM with root from the thread below. Copy it to your sd card. Put the card back in. Boot by holding camera, volume down, and power. Should be orange lettered screen. Scroll down to install zip from sd card, choose that, then choose zip from sd card, then choose the file you just put on and install it.

This should put a prerooted EC05 system on your phone.

OK i got a MT4 so i flashed the engineering bootloader, since it wasn't my first mytouch 4, i already had the files in my computer, so somehow my files got corrupted thanks to the new SSD technology, so now i have a phone that won't turn on at ALL.

Any way to recover from this one or the board is tossed? any way to save it with a JTAG?

thx
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdkoren:
I don't know of any way to save it through software. You'd need the bootloader in order to use fastboot.

Advice for everyone:

Before you flash that bootloader, verify it by comparing it's md5 checksum to the one provided in grankin's thread. If you can't find it, this is it:

md5sum: df4fd77f44993eb05a4732210d2eddc6

I check mine at least once before and ALWAYS check after flashing. Here's how:

1. On your computer, after downloading. Mac/Linux users can probably do checksums in terminal. I downloaded a checksum utility for Windows that adds a checksums tab when I right-click >> properties on any file.

2. On the phone with terminal emulator. Assuming you pushed the file to /data/local, open terminal emulator and do this:

cd /data/local
md5sum hboot_dhd.nb0

If what you get does not match the above, re-download the file.

3. After flashing. You can enter the path of the bootloader as the argument for md5sum. This is ALWAYS a good idea to make sure it was written properly, even if you checked it already in /data/local. The command (in terminal emulator) is this:

md5sum /dev/block/mmcblk0p18

If what you get does not match the above, DO NOT REBOOT THE PHONE. Re-download the file if you have to and flash again. Only reboot if md5sum matches the above.
