[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] :
Hi,

Just picked up my Rodimus Prime Transformer today with keyboard dock and all (Micro Anvika Tottenham Court Road for any Londoners).

Just getting it set up and seeing what it can do. Have been waiting for this for ages, and reading threads inside out!!

Some wicked stuff, but also some minor annoyances along the lines of what others post.

VIDEO!! Argh!

Put SD card from Sony HX5 camera in. Hardly get any frames together, from 1080p MP4. Tried moboplayer (with and without ARM codec), rockplayer.

Also tried the Big Buck Bunny test in you tube at 1080p. Also very poor.

Was prepared for it to be quite poor at these, but not as jerky as it is.

Can't get the firmware updates to work, but not sure if they will make a difference.

I am lovingthe transformer, but I need to get these things sorted before I show it off to my Ipad 2 mates!!!

Manythanks in advance for your patience and going over old issues yet again!!!

Thanks to Nburns for the recommendation, here is a review on the ishoppingdeals soft silicone case for Nook Color.

From: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...f_rd_r=12T9XEK8K8KXJEF3BJJM&tag=5336653508-20

Price: $8.99 + shipping (free with Amazon Prime)

Close-up photos of various parts can be seen here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/agmy/sets/72157626752188156/with/5734336929/

The case comes in a plastic sleeve (made in china for those who care) along with a ~2" white skeletal fish keychain, feels like soft plastic or some rubbery material.

The case fits pretty snuggly, no bowing on the inside parts by the screen at all, but is not a struggle to put on. The front is smooth silicon while the back has a pebbled surface that is raised just enough to help grip without getting annoying. The key fob? headphone wrap? and uSD flip-back cover corner is exposed in a cutaway -- it's the reason I got the case in the first place since I was having to pop my Nook in and out of my usual Industriell case whenever I wanted to swap uSD installs. The headphone cutout is accurately placed. Perhaps the only downside of this case is that there isn't a little plug to seal the headphone jack to prevent dust from going in. There are also cutouts for the speaker grill and the microUSB port, both of which are accurately placed and sized. I did not have any trouble plugging in the microUSB cable (no trimming needed to make sure it was seated).

Like most silicone cases, this one is a fluff magnet and in the first few minutes I had it open and was taking photos, it had already attracted quite a lot of fluff. The silicon is roughly 1/8" thick and quite pliable. While it serves my purpose, which is to prevent daily wear and tear and scratches on the surface of the Nook, I would not depend on it for heavy-duty protection in the event that you drop your Nook. For daily futzing around the house or when you're in for an evening of flashing stuff constantly it's perfect, and better than the snap-in cases which block uSD port access. It's been molded and cut to fit perfectly to the Nook, which to me is important in a soft case.

While some people seemed to have complained about a smell, I did not notice one until I put my nose right against it and sniffed --- smells like newly manufactured material (frankly smells almost like rum!) which will probably go away now that it's being exposed to air. (Edit: Ok, now that it's warmed up in my hands it *is* rather noticeable. Going to soak it in some hot sudsy water for a bit to see if that'll accelerate smell removal.)

All in all I'm very satisfied with my purchase and would give it an 8/10 -- 1 point off for not having a plug for the headphone jack, and 1 point off for the smell, which should hopefully go way.
[Nook Color Accessories] life64x:
Same one as I have and it is excellent. I placed a strap on the handle part and easy access to all buttons and gives a great feel for the touch. Now I have no worries about grip or where I place it. Added a screen protector to the nook also and I really like it looks, grips and feels. I was going to buy a more expensive one but this was exactly what I wanted and most off all NEEDED

I did not have a smell with it but just a common new rubbery smell.
[Nook Color Accessories] michaelg1030:
I got the same one yesterday with two pack of screen protectors.

The case is good and serves its purpose. I would like it to be tighter on the nook as there is a little play in the back. I'd imagine it will get worse if you plan on taking it on and off often. The smell is awful, but only when right up to ur nose. You will not notice it when just holding it and using it. Although the smell seems to linger on ur hands for a little.

The screen protectors they sell are awesome. They are a perfect fit ( if you think its too long, than you didn't put it on correctly). They are crystal clear. While the nook without protector seems smoother this is still good (I may try the armour all trick). I installed them in the bathroom with the shower on hot and had no problems with installation. Had to peal it off a couple times to align it, and that was no issue.

If you want a silicon case, I recommend these. If you need a screen protector, I absolutely recommend the ones they sell (crazyondigital's screen protectors are different although they appear to sell the same silicon case).
[Nook Color Accessories] angomy:
I was able to get rid of most of the smell by soaking the case in a solution of baking soda and dish detergent overnight. So now it very faintly smells like orange blossom, but it's pretty pleasant (built in air freshener?)

Loving the case so far, didn't want to spend a lot of money on a second case and this one hit the mark at $9.
[Nook Color Accessories] Nburnes:
I found the black one to be looser of the colors actually. The red/clear one are very snug even after many applications and removals. Same can't be said for the blue or the black though.
[Nook Color Accessories] xun3:
I got the white one. The fit is very snug and nice. It did smell at first, but after a month it went away (to be honest I stopped using it untill recently when the smell went away). I should have used the baking soda trick. Other than that, it's great! gives you an extra sense of security, all the ports are open, easy access to the SD card, open speaker.
[Nook Color Accessories] Xhorder:
How does this compare to the Barnes & Noble silcone case? Has anyone tried both?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Patrick66:
I need some help on verifying that my HTC Desire HD has been downgraded ok, that ENG S-OFF is gone and that all traces are erased.

In bootloader, first line: "ACE PVT SHIP S-ON" is this same as stock?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SERGI.3210:
yes its the stock bootloader... with security-ON.;)

but this process isn´t named "downgrade"

we call downgrade to came back from an upper rom version..

for example from WEE 2.36 gingerbread v2.3 to WEE 1.32 froyo v2.2.

cheerss
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Patrick66:
Thank! The phone was flashed with LeeDroid 2.3.3, so I also downgraded to stock 2.2(or 2.1?). :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SERGI.3210:
2.2 mate... 2.1´stock it´s not available for DHD

if you feel that your question is solved please put [solved] in the name of the thread.

go to first post--- edit---advanced settings---changue name :)

good luck with thec. service
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy:
Did you have Radio S-OFF & Super CID prior to reverting to stock.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SERGI.3210:
i´m going to send him a PM to warm him about it and leave a link to here... maybe he was not reverted supercid, etc...

EDIT: PM sent to @patrick66

[G2 and Desire Z General] kokoskokis544:
I always wanted to share this as some people call themselves developers in this forum by just removing and adding some apps and making roms "look faster". What they is actually going into the app called spare parts and choose the fast transition and fast windows animations. So why not trying these settings on cm7 and see which is faster people? Or any other rom developed by true developers!! I am not saying im against rom development but at least if u are trying to develop then do something unique and not a rom that even my grandma could do :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] pmcqueen:
I agree mostly... the vast majority of roms available for us right now are just themed CM7. that's fine and dandy, but it's particularly amusing to me when people talk smack about CM7 being "slow" or "buggy" etc and then claim their new rom of choice, a CM7 variant, is the best thing since sliced bread.

that said, even theming can be a hell of a task, and extremely time consuming. I appreciate all of the work the development community provides to us (free of charge, mind you).
[G2 and Desire Z General] cjward23:
I don't see what you are trying to get at here. For a start I have tried just about every rom there is and I don't believe I have ever come across one that has window tansitions set to fast by default. We have a really good mix of devs here doing different things and do great work. You need to remember that devs build a rom that they like, quite often it is built for them and they choose to release it to the general public.

One of the great things about this community is choice. A rom that one person loves and another will hate, its all about personal preference.

Do you know anything about developing a rom? I don't but I knw a lot of work goes in to them and the devs do a lot more than change some settings on spare parts to make there rom different, better and faster than the next rom.

Your post in insulting to the devs that work really hard to give us something cool and awesome.

[G2 and Desire Z General] arianR10:
Well said. You must strive to support to the best of your abilities, the development scene for this respective phone.
[G2 and Desire Z General] TheDeadCPU:
There is a MAJOR difference between Chef and Developers, that's why we have the term Chef for non devs that make ROMs.
[G2 and Desire Z General] kokoskokis544:
I never said not supporting TRUE dev!! Im referring to those that call themselves devs by removing and adding a few apps. Go into other handsets forums and see what i mean. For ouf g2 only a few deserve to be called devs. Thats what im saying..
[G2 and Desire Z General] xsteven77x:
I know who your referring to, and if your not referring to someone in particular, there is someone who repackages stuff that offers nothing new and everyone wets there pants over it. Getting on my nerves somewhat.
[G2 and Desire Z General] xsteven77x:
And does anyone actually use the chef title here on the g2 forum? No....
[G2 and Desire Z General] astriaos:
I think this thread really exemplifies a major issue in the dev community: The lack of drive for a unified stable product whose basic functions all work properly across a cross section of devices.

Theaming is all well and good, but if MMS doesn't work and you have force crashes on multiple internal apps; what exactly is it all good for? If I can't boot up gps, then what the heck does it matter? If internal components and tweaks are confusing and ill thought out, then why the heck are they being shared?

I really think that the dev community needs to sit down across multiple devices & hash these issues out.
[G2 and Desire Z General] shortlived:
Yohu know what your looking for? A stock rom....they all work! The devs here are pushing the boundries and taking our phones to the edge! Of course not everything will work out of the box and if they fixed everything before they released it they would have to deal with everyone begging for the next release.
[G2 and Desire Z General] kokoskokis544:
Thats what im talking about. I m glad someone agrees with me.. cheers mate :-)
[G2 and Desire Z General] xsteven77x:
Thought I was the only one too but did not want to be rude or sound ungrateful. I do appreciate every quote on quote devs work and passion for making us roms. But some of these are just stock with the equivelant of removing bloat with titanium backup. No system tweaks. Nothing really even changed. if anything they should just be called bloatless roms or something.

On another note, while I do get annoyed that a lot of stuff is just cyanogen with a slick of paint on it, obviously the work it takes to build a rom from the ground up is not easy. Otherwise we would see a lot more of them. I do understand that and do not take lightly how hard it probably is. Maybe the answer is let's port some roms from other phones? Like insertcoin for example? Or maybe all the devs that are just repackaging stuff get together and form something along the lines of what the bionix team does and all work together to make one super good rom.

I LOVE the choices we have with this phone. Its f-in awesome. But sometimes I feel like its just a placebo with really one 3 to 4 actual unique roms for our g2. I do not know how to make roms, so I'm not acting like this can be done overnight. But some of this just seems like common sense no matter what angle your coming from.

Obviously rmk is a rom god. And suilmagic seems like an up and comer. Pershoots kick ass. I thought for a minute there was many a rumor that eugene was heading our way, which if true would probably cause a dam near astronomical shift in this forum, hope there is some truth to that rumor. Those are devs that stand out to me, if I didn't say your name I just didn't think of you when I was writing this.

Thank you for indulging my two cents. I do not mean to offend anyone whatsoever. I appreciate everything you guys do for us. But let's not sugarcoat the reality of our situation.
[G2 and Desire Z General] petarpLab:
kokoskokis544, welcome to the club :)

what enrages me the most is the absence of detailed information on what exactly is done to the rom - goes against the community spirit.

I would like to research the changes myself and make sure there's nothing that can damage my phone.
[G2 and Desire Z General] petarpLab:
actually, from my point of view, the worst thing is when someone does not give deserved credit - "Grab, use and forget"
[G2 and Desire Z General] xsteven77x:
I agree that is extremely annoying. And then you ask what is it in it or whats different from other roms and you get a "INSTALL IT STUPID AND FIND OUT"....YA WELL UP YOURS TOO :):D;):eek:
[G2 and Desire Z General] pmcqueen:
even decompiling a rom and making minor changes like adding/removing apks and tweaking existing settings takes hours of work. theming is even more time consuming. I don't think most people realize this. the work itself isn't "hard," but the amount of time you have to set aside to be able to do this kind of stuff is extremely tough to come by, at least for me.

in that respect, you should all be grateful for the time ALL devs and chefs, regardless of the substance of their contributions, devote to giving us new stuff to play with.
[G2 and Desire Z General] cjward23:
I'm glad there is at least one person here that share my point of view.

[sig]My mission is to hit 1000 posts by 23/05/2011[sig]
[G2 and Desire Z General] killswitch11:
Make that two. I don't really see a reason to get all aggro over something that is free. As to something that "might damage my phone".... um.. what? To my knowledge, the devs (or whatever some may wish to call them) are not into the practice of putting out toxic software for us to download. To make sure, I use this goofy thing called judgement. I'll look at a new ROM, read the dev comments, wait a while, read the feedback comments, and make a decision. Not complicated. If there are a ton of bugs and problems, I'll wait until later versions come out that correct these issues. Or I'll choose another ROM. I honestly don't see the point of complaining about free services and a plethora of options. If people don't like all that, unroot and stay with stock software.
[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
No, I'm with you too. While I don't know zip about development, I can appreciate the fact that it takes time and effort to create and upload a ROM, even one that is just a tweaked version of someone else's work.

While the OP seems to be complaining about one or a few people in particular, it seems that many people who post ROMs are doing it for the sheer enjoyment, or to create something unique for themselves. Then, they go out of their way to upload and post it on here for others to enjoy. Of course, giving credit when its due, and describing what has been changed (and what hasn't), as previously suggested, are all good points as well.

Its not like there is a whole lot of fortune and glory associated with calling yourself a "developer". If somebody is even calling themselves that, its probably due to lack of a better term, more than anything else. Its a bit cumbersome to go around calling yourself "Guy who modified a ROM for myself, and now posting it for others to enjoy".

Besides, if you don't like a person's ROMs, just don't use them or read his threads. Not enough ROMs tends to be the more common complaint, rather than too many (although obviously quality is a factor as well, not just quantity).
[G2 and Desire Z General] eioous:
If you really wanna ***** about free services then don't use them, switch phones, go to a different dev community. People do this work for fun, they don't ask for money for the hours of work they put in. You should be appreciative for whatever ROMs we get ,especially if you don't "dev" yourself.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Richard1510:
I could not have said it better myself. I appreciate the work they do.
[G2 and Desire Z General] shady503403:
Nothing against the OP by any means..

but the last few guys are right.. everything you get from xda is free! If you don't like it, don't use it. No ones forcing you to.. maybe some roms only change a few things.. but I know I for one would be lost tryin to dev or cook a rom myself.. I can manage to use a kitchen thou. :) but that's just addin apks together basically and selecting the options I want.

Ultimately you shouldn't say some devs/chefs aren't even doing anything when they are here for us.

Any contribution is better than no contribution and I've tried multiple roms and have no bad thought on any and am happy everyone here does what they can which benefits me in the end.
[G2 and Desire Z General] petarpLab:
guys, you're missing the point. let me show you a positive example - a post that i would print and frame - all the right things are in there - credits, guide etc.

see OP here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=944590

there are even sharper examples all around.

this is an open community and there are some rules.

help people learn and understand - give them power, instead of forcing them to be numb users.
[G2 and Desire Z General] 313dash:
I said this to myself before never said anything about it. At the end of the day I still change everything in the Rom to my liking. I still give those guys credit because they took out there own personal time to make an Mod for us.
[G2 and Desire Z General] shortlived:
I totally agree with your about giving credit where it is due. But i wanged to use your post as an example of no matter how well done someones post is you will always get someone complaining about something... Ie the redundant remark in that thread.
[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
That may be YOUR point, but its not what the OP is talking about.
[G2 and Desire Z General] petarpLab:
hm, read OP again. it's between the lines.
[G2 and Desire Z General] roelandjansen:
first of all I *am* grateful for what people do, and only because I don't have the time.

Secondly, I feel that the original poster is right. Someone who shifts, shuffles and so, hardly can be said to be a developer. It's more of a sysadmin that also has the ability to do some system integration.

A developer would be someone who has the kernel source tree, fixes some parts, adds a new type of filesystem.

Someone that adds ext4 with an option is just not worth to be called a developer.

And then. from my own work, I know that real developers may be a pain in the ass so I'm happy most of them aren't.

Note that this is my personal opinion and observation. Others may and will disagree (or feel attacked -- which means that you are probably giving you the wrong title for a start)
[G2 and Desire Z General] familiarstranger:
I am appreciative of all the ROMs on the boards and all the people who put them there. Arguing about Chef's vs Dev's seems like semantics. They put work (doesnt matter how much) into their ROM and uploaded it. If you like what they did use it if not don't.

To me it seems like so much work is being done by Team Douche that its easy to use CM as a base, but maybe that is causing Dev's to feel like there isnt much to change. I would love to see more Roms starting with AOSP and doing more radical things. I remember when MIUI popped up and it took the community by storm. I would love to see more of that.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mitalis:
EVO 2.2 Sense based ROMs don't obey the MMS size settings for incoming pictures. Regardless whatever setting you use, incoming pictures are always compressed down. The MMS settings only seem to apply for outgoing messages..

This wasn't an issue with the 2.1 Sense based ROMs. I'm just wondering is this also the case with the 2.3 ROMs?

For people that want to test this out, take note of the size and dimensions of the picture you send and try sending them to yourself: http://www.pixdrop.com/

Or try sending yourself a pic through whatever messager application you have. I'm curious what the results are.

I have read and read thread after thread... after thread, and I'm confused...

Is there an actual legit Gingerbread update for the US TMo Tab that I can do through Keis or Odin, or is it an overseas version? And at that, will it pull files automatically, or do I have to DL, then install? And is that safe for the US TMo Tab?

I keep hearing about Overcome, and searched and read. Is it an actually 2.3 Gingerbread ROM, or a 2.3 theme? If it is a ROM, is it a full ROM with all working options, or more something I should wait on the official release for?

Thanks for any help, and links are appreciated. :D

I did searches and read a lot, but the more I read, the more unclear it became, so I thought this would clear it up for me...
