[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikefromTX:
I've seen a couple of videos where the righthand-side vertical toolbar (you know - Internet, Apps, Phone icons) has been changed to insert the Settings icon in place of the Phone.

I can't find a way to do that ... anybody have a tip on how to change those icons? I'm running TNT Lite 2.0, with the built-in ADW Launcher.

TIA

Download the .apk found here. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1044765 i used version 1.2. install a file manager if you transfered the file from your pc and find the .apk and install it. if doing it from the device same thing. before opening the .apk make sure debugging is on and unknown sources is enabled.

Open the gingerbreak .apk and simply click Root device. If successful the device will reboot. Once it reboots download an app that requires superuser. and if all went well it should ask for superuser perms. Also you should now see the SU apk in your app draw.

Now Download Rom Manager from the market and flash Clockworkmod recovery and flash away. Rom manager is only good for flashing recovery nothing else works within it. You must manually enter recovery by holding + volume and power until bootloader menu appears. Then select option 2. Make sure your battery has 80% or more. No more fastboot. Good luck and happy streaking.

I'm not responsible if you brick your device. Do some reading before you think about rooting and see if its for you.

Thanks goes to the devs of gingerbreak.
[Dell Streak 7] Gravityrat:
THANK YOU HELLZYA!

And Thanks to Chainfire over at GingerBreak.

This is the coolest thing EVER!

So happy to have root now!!!!!!

Time to be a flash monster. lol
[Dell Streak 7] Gravityrat:
Very strange. I have SU but CWM does not work.

I click on Backup ROM and it just reboots.

I click on Install ROM from SDCard and it just reboots.

I click Reboot into Recovery and it just reboots.

Other than that everything else works great that needs SU.
[Dell Streak 7] cdzo72:
Now everything force closes

I haven't been able to flash because everytime I reboot my Streak 7 returns to factory state, so in another thread I was suggested this workaround to help me get CWM installed and then flash another ROM...

Well, I ran this and it seemed to be fine, ran quick and then rebooted, but much to my disappointment, now everything force closes, everything, I can't even use the calculator.... and sometimes the startup wizard crashes and/or the home launcher...

Im worse off than when I started.

About the only info I can give you is that it's a Streak 7 with 2.2.2 installed
[Dell Streak 7] Hellzya:
Gravityrat rom manager is only good for flashing recovery nothing else. You have to manually access. Cwr by holding plus volume and power till you see bootloader menu. Select option 2 and you will be presented with cwr. Make sure your battery is at 80% or more

[Dell Streak 7] otnos:
I am new at this, so can someone please explain how do I "make sure debugging is on and unknown sources is enabled"?
[Dell Streak 7] chiefy009:
You need to download the gingerbreak apk from xda, make sure you allow opps from unknown sources and have debugging ticked, install the apk then open it and run it your streak will reboot then you have root hope it helps you

Go to your streaks settings and within there in applciations and development sections

Settings - applications - tick unknown sources - select development - tick debugging

Thank you for this explanation!

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zorachus:
Both my Brother and I like the Sense UI, I am a big fan of Myn's Sense based ROM's after trying out the many other different ROM's based off CM 7, or other variants, I always come back to Sense.

Anyways been rocking Myn's RS 5 for months, my most favorite and stable ROM for me. I told my Brother he needs a good ROM, not just a standard root, he said he does have a good ROM, it's called HTC EVO 4G :p, meaning the stock phone, he doesn't see the point in what a sense based ROM could possibly add or do for him ?

What would you Sense ROM's guys/gals have to add or say to this ?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] surrealmethod:
In my opinion, some roms might have a few tweaks in them but most of the roms that I see now are just themed stock roms.

I don't want to seem like I'm not giving credit to the devs for everything they do, but it seems like many "roms" should just be in the theme section as they are just built off some other devs work.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
You are not alone and Myn's Warm TwoPointTwo RLS-5 is one of my favorites and IS my favorite Sense rom.

First of all, understand that his "stock phone" is Sense-based. HTC Sense comes default on the EVO 4G. Anyway, your brother seems to be totally satisfied with what he has and has no plans to switch. If that is the case, let him be. If he wasn't impressed with the classy and elegant look of Myn's rom then I doubt he'll be convinced to change from the stock Sense look....:)

What would you Sense ROM's guys/gals have to add or say to this ?[/QUOTE]
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cloud007:
Been wondering the same thing....

For the most part, seems like I mine as well re-flash to stock sense. Remove whatever bloatware/etc and apply themes as I like. With maybe a kernel change.

In the end, thats all a "custom rom" is if Im not mistaken... Kernel + Themes, sometimes with a poor implementation that causes things to break.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] surrealmethod:
Some roms are just themes, other roms have some tweaks to them. Usually, people use the framework from one developer and just theme it up. Some just use a stock rom and theme it up.

Its not fair to some developers to say that they have not tweaked their rom at all but just add some color and a battery percentage indicator or a splash screen.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
Taking a Sense 2.0 rom from one device and porting it over to a device that came defaulted with Sense 1.0 and making it work is more than merely adding themes. Furthermore, many of the talented devs started out by merely customizing their devices to suit their personal tastes, hence the name "custom" roms. Other people liked their customization which prompted them to make it available to anyone who wanted it. Still, custom roms are not for everyone. Guys like Myn, xHAUSx, Koni, TommyTomatoe and a boatload of others are very talented at what they do and should be recognized as such...at least in my opinion...:)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cloud007:
Sure, but what kinda tweaks are we talking about? Thats what Im asking more or less.

CM for instance, to me, feels like a stock AOSP rom with their custom Kernel. They obviously did a good bit more by customizing the kernel n such, but as I said before... I could just flash their kernel + use whatever themes I want, no?

My understanding is that battery indicator, boot animations, etc fall into the theme category.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sekigah84:
Stock vs Rooted:

Rooted ROMs are optimized.

Better A2SD functionality.

Better battery life.

FREE WIFI TETHERING!

No bloatware.

Ability to theme.

Ability to do a LOT more things with your phone. Change lockscreens etc.

Ability to get full HDMI mirroring.

Sense vs AOSP:

AOSP is usually faster as Sense takes up space.

Sense has better widgets.

AOSP + 3rd party launcher like Launcher Pro + Beautiful widgets can give you the same things as Sense with a performance gain.

Landscape functionality for homescreens

Sense is a launcher. There are launcher replacements such as LauncherPro, ADW, and SPB Shell 3D. LauncherPro and ADW are more a lot faster than HTC is. LauncherPro has widgets for calendar and Friends which is similar to Sense. Beautiful widgets can give you a Sense like clock and weather animations.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cloud007:
Are the roms optimized or is the Kenerel optimized? That was my original question (:. Thus far, roms feel like UI packages with a kernel of the devs choice.

If Im not mistaken... battery life would be dependent on the Kernel, not the rom.

Stock vs Rooted was never a question. Im running Warm2.2 atm and considering going back to Rooted Stock (as the OPs brother has done).

As my Stock will be rooted, I wont have bloatware. I will be able to theme, mirror HDMI, change lockscreens/bootanimations,etc

Sense vs AOSP:

AOSP is usually faster as Sense takes up space.

Sense has better widgets.

AOSP + 3rd party launcher like Launcher Pro + Beautiful widgets can give you the same things as Sense with a performance gain.

CM7 RC3 is the only AOSP rom I used. Used it for a week then moved back to a sense rom. My main gripes with it were the lousy Dialer, Widgets, and I dont really care for the camera UI either. However someone in IRC pointed me to the GO Dialer, in turn I found Go Weather, Go SMS, Go Launcher... these have all solved most of my gripes, with the exception of the Dialer. CM7 RC3 also seemed to be rather batter hungry and always had an annoying notification about dialing *28 for voicemail when I had none.

Aside from this, don't AOSP roms also lack some core functionality that Sense roms have? I don't remember the specifics, but IIRC, no HDMI, many lack 4G, etc.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zorachus:
Good post, I agree
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thattallbastard:
I also totally agree with this. It should also be noted that along with an upgraded sense, some of these other ROMs give you an update to Gingerbread. Just something else to take into consideration when it comes to reasons for switching ROMs.

In the past yes. I was on a sense based ROM for awhile but constantly switched between that and CM. Finally when CM7 reverse engineered 4G and HDMI, I've been rocking that out like it's going out of style. I just love how speedy and responsive it is. Thought honestly, in my opinion, if you put enough widgets and crap on the home screens like there are in Sense based ROMs the speed will even out. Just from what I've experienced though.

Well, I finally received my Transformer 32GB today from Newegg and I must say that I am absolutely in love with it; despite some minor issues. Don't worry, I plan on doing a "first impressions" review shortly.

Anyways, I did notice some light bleed when looking for it and now I can't really seem to get over it. However, I tend to be a bit paranoid about things so I figured I would ask you guys for some advice before just asking for a replacement.

I took these pictures at full brightness in a completely dark room.

For some reason, the camera seemed to have reduced the severity of the light bleed a bit (thought it would do the opposite)

. Basically, one can see light leakage on the bottom (to the right of the logo) and a couple on the middle of the right of the display.

Full brightness:

Auto-brightness:

Would you guys get this replaced if you were me? My main concern is that the replacement yields even more leakage than the original.

PS - The bezel and screen seem to be perfectly aligned. I also have very little creaking near the right bezel.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gadgetfann:
I have some light bleed too, but only a little in the lower left corner. If mine were as bad as yours, I would replace. Yours is affecting 25% of your screen or more...
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] denverseven:
Man, I am having the same problem. Every day I have the dilemma " should I replace it? - but I love it so much and what if the next one is crap"

Lol, tough call.

If you bought it from a good retailer (one that doesn't charge a restocking fee, I say go for the swap, since light bleeds are a sign of a defect)

Unfortunately for me, my retailer was crappy and charges 15% to restock, which means 75$ just to replace the device. Thumbs way down
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingdruid:
Mine has bleeding on the left and right side of the screen, but I really only see it when I'm rebooting and the black screen comes on. I have not ran into any issues while using the tablet where I notice the bleeding so I don't really think its that big of a deal unless your watching a dark movie maybe.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] starplaya93:
Honestly dude, just listen to your common sense. Disregard what I or anybody else on these forums may say to you. The majority of people here lack sense which leads them to constantly complain about minor issues.

Think to yourself first would you have notices this without the help of this forum?

Does the issue harm the performance of the device?

Does it take away from the devices beauty?

Will any of your friends or family notice?

These among other questions are what you should ponder before making a decision...

I can tell you from my experience as being one of the first people to own a Tmobile G1, Mytouch and Sprint Evo 4g as well as an owner of many other devices including laptops, tvs, cars, radios, video game systems, video games, etc etc etc... You can return and exchange all you want but you will never find the PERFECT(Definition:Make (something) completely free from faults or defects) device or product...

Good Luck with your decision!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akarol:
Wow... thanks for all your comments. I was expecting some "C'mon... another one of these?!" threads. :P

@gadgetfan: For some reason the blushing on the bottom right and left corners are not visible at all. I think it was some crazy processing that my camera did. Maybe due to the white text on those areas and the angle the pictures were taken. I only really notice the 1"-long bleeds on the bottom and right of the screen.

I ordered mine from Newegg so I know I'm good on getting it replaced. The problem is when will it actually get replaced? And if it does get replaced, will it be worst then the current one?

I was thinking of maybe waiting for it to get back in stock and try to snatch another one and seeing how that one is in comparison, then returning the worst of the two. Do you think these retailers would actually notice which is which inside the box?!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerrykur:
Isn't there a serial number on the box and on the unit. They should match.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akarol:
The box isn't an issue as I can send the new box with the older unit in it. I highly doubt they'll be matching serial numbers as they usually send these off to the manufacturer to get refurbished anyways. If they ask, I can always tell them I accidentally swapped them by mistake. Right?!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Asadroid:
sadly i have many stuck pixels but thanks for the fixel density they are only seen on a black screen, but BLACK, so i dont care i can live with that, or well sell it over here when they start to sell them here :P

edit: after using a simple app that shows many different colors, man the stuck pixels are on a black screen, no in every color (i have seen stuck pixels on my psp so i know when the problem its serious).

it doesnt affects me that much i can live with it.

the light bleed its minimal like 5%. low creacks.

in overall im happy

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Enectic:
Stuck/dead pixels drive me crazy. Once I see them it's as if I ALWAYS notice them. I replaced my 21.5 inch monitor and my G-Tablet because of one stuck pixel. I figure if I can get a free replacement then I'm going to replace it until I get a "perfect' one.

To the OP, the light bleed looks pretty bad. Personally I'd try to to replace it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Asadroid:
well since i dont see a dead pixel outside of a black screen i dont care, and my eyes hurts after going trough a RGB series of colors @_@ testing if i could see them

and im not up to pay the cost of the shipping to get a replacemnet
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akarol:
I wouldn't think twice about replacing it if I found a single stuck pixel on anything I own. Bleeds are hit or miss as some are way less noticeable than others.

Can anyone here honestly say that their TF is completely free of any light bleeds? If so, can they prove it?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VonLaserface:
Not to hijack the thread but this seems related:

I just picked up a 32gig model last night from a local retailer and there's a small (1mm-ish) gap between the bezel and the screen right where the hdmi port is.

There's a little light bleed in that area, which honestly doesn't bother me, but I am worried about dust getting in that gap.

Worthy of a return or am I worrying too much?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akarol:
I would return it if mine had any gap whatsoever.

BTW, I just ordered one from WalMart and I'll compare it to the one I already have. I'll let you guys know how it turns out.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kudosmog:
The creak on the bottom right drives me nuts. The rear of the unit actually flexes around that area. Just doesn't feel very good. I also have issues with the touch screen not responding. I was going to make a topic on it, hoping it was just mine, but I guess it's just a transformer thing and I should either deal with it or return it and find something else.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edge929:
In all my years of being a computer/gadget geek, I just haven't been able to wrap my head around the huge issue people have with light bleed. Just how many people sit in pure darkness everyday just to watch movies? I wish I had enough time to do this just so I could be mad at having light bleed. If the movies filled up the entire screen (some don't) then it should barely be an issue. The only time it's really noticeable is full brightness on a solid black picture.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RedMist:
What does it look like on a non-completely black screen?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VonLaserface:
Thanks for the input. I just wanted another opinion to make sure I wasn't being overly paranoid.

They're sold out again but I'm on the list for an exchange once they get more.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiny1055:
From my experience, I've seen 3 tablets, there is bad light bleed and tolerable light bleed. Soft light bleed is very tolerable and looks like a dull half circle of light, however, I've seen light bleed where it is a sharp bright light which looks like a triangle and completely bugged the hell out of me.

I would definitely return a creaky bezel. My 1st one had it and that is where the worst light bleed was. Pressing that point made the light bleed change. My other 2 had no creaking.

Just a suggestion, watch a dark movie, such as "The Dark Knight" and see if the light bleed bothers you. If not, keep it, otherwise exchange it. I believe movies are where it will be the most bothersome.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seshmaru:

I do think that pictures of the screen increase screen "bloom" so I might see "bleed" in the picture that isn't actually visible with the naked eye.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gwartan:
Some copy pasta from another post i did. When i got my TF:

"I asked the BB sales person if i could check the item at the store before leaving to make sure none of the reported issues were present before i left.

I did not notice any light bleed at the store, but after i placed it in the dock and used it that way for a little, i now notice it at the bottom center of the tablet and center right. The TF has some flex to the housing, and when that happens the bleed gets worse and from multiple points. I will be keeping an eye on this and if it keeps getting worse i will exchange it."

Today the bleed seemed to be hardly noticeable. That and i was not actively looking for it.

I just now added a black wallpaper and snapped the best shots i could. It really isn't that bad. i have seen worse on an ipad and xoom.
