[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Dolmangar:
One thing to consider is that the 7" Tab is not likely to see much updating from Samsung in the future, my guess is that in their eyes it's EOL. They have new machines to support.

However there is a strong dev community for it and they will likely make improvements for a long time. That being said, it may never make the jump to Honeycomb or Ice Cream Sandwich.

The Flyer, being new, is just starting it's vendor support life cycle and they SAY it will be upgraded to at least Honeycomb (no firm date, but at least they are saying it will be).

If they do unlock the boot-loader, which would most likely happen during a major update I would think (keep it locked until the HC upgrade to make it easier on tech support maybe?), the Flyer may end up being a highly supported device, just because it's one of the few 7" machines out there.

I very much considered the Tab, even had it in my Amazon cart for a while before deciding that I wanted to buy the Flyer. Would have preferred to spend less, but I'll likely use it for a number of years so $500 vs $350 isn't much of a problem. I needed a 7" screen for portability and I've been very happy with it so far.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Renegade360:
Several reasons for Flyer over GT 7. Better processor, Better Screen (Super LCD vs TFT), Sense, Pen integration (don't spend $80, get a Fujitsu one for $30.) It is flat out faster in use. Better Rear camera. Stronger case. Longer support life. Def worth the $150 difference.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] LordLugard:
I have a Flyer but it is going back. I've enjoyed it for a week now but it's not satisfying me 100%.

Coming from a Galaxy S phone with much better codec support out of the box, the Flyer is disappointing. At least there's Mobo player.

No way to Bluetooth tether since Android hates adhoc networks, annoying (even though the Transformer apparently does BT tether).

Very nice device and the form factor is nice, nearly perfect, but at $500 plus tax I expected a bit more satisfaction.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] doublecheese:
So far the only thing I am missing is the phone.

Is it possible to add the HTC Phone into the Flyer by an firmware upgrade ?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] bsmoove386:
I also am considering the Flyer just waiting for a price drop or if I can save enough for it. Few questions however:

1. Does the flyer do hdmi mirroring or just video playback?

2. Are the games user friendly from onlive ?

3. What type of movies aren't playing well? I really don't need the highest quality movies as long as its decent quality I'm ok with that?

4. Also is the notes app well developed im an engineer student so the idea of taking notes during a class like dynamics or controls writing hints and drawing diagrams on slides

Sounds very appealing. How well would that notes app work if I'm constantly writing?

I was looking at the galaxy tab but it seems to lack external ports such as usb microsd slot and hdmi. I'm a big hdmi user so thar automatically cancels any tablet for me if I can't use hdmi mirroring.

So I'm also curious about the Ee pad memo and the webos touchpad. Does anyone know if the touchpad and eepad memo will have hdmi mirroring thru cable or will an external port be needed?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Maedhros:
Personally... if the Flyer was released @ the same time as the Desire HD I'd have picked it up in a heart beat.

But with Dual Core comming up....

I'd say wait till HTC nxt offering.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] waltah!:
I recently bought the Flyer along with the Playbook and iPad 2. Having them together was the easiest way to compare for me. The Playbook killed the Flyer in all categories for me with the exception of app selection and quality. I literally only found 5 apps that I wanted to download. The Flyer performed pretty well with the exception of many FC. HTC Watch adds a cool way to purchase content. The cam and especially video recording was not nearly as good as the PB, but better than the iPad in that dept.

In the end I kept the iPad 2. For me it was the biggest bang for the same money. There's a crazy amount of high quality apps like Hulu, Netflix and tons of solid games. I use my tablets at home for web browsing and at work for watching videos and listening to podcasts on my breaks. The larger screen is much better for me, but there is something to be said for the portable nature of the smaller screen. If the price was lower on the Flyer and included the pen for the wifi only version I'd recommend it highly, but the pricing with the pen is seriously too high. Sense 3.0 is pretty fantastic, but reminds me of a bigger version of my Evo.

I'm an Android phone user/lover but I have yet to find an Android tablet that does it for me.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] LordLugard:
Actually, it's Sense 2.1, not 3.0.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] darkknight1114:
I have now had the flyer for 4 days now and I owned every tablet on the market, and the Flyer is bar-none the best I have used.

I wouldn't sell this things for a $1000, I love the Flyer. Is very underrated in every way, plus the performance wipes other tablets *** thus far.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] doublecheese:
Only if it had the phone dialer it couldn't be any perfecter....
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] redpoint73:
Sense 3.0 has the "ring" multi-function lock screen, HTC Trace on the keyboard, and new weather app.

Or does the Flyer have Sense 2.1 with some 3.0 features?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] doublecheese:
Here it is :
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] darkknight1114:
sorry but the playbook can't touch the Flyer, everything about the playbook is lame. Also the Flyer out performers the playbook as the Flyer is much snappier and faster even On a single core.

compared my flyer to a co-workers playbook today.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] m4rk0358:
A little off topic but I didn't want to create a new thread....will this sub-forum be used for the EVO View 4G when it's released? It's the same tablet but with wimax.
[Acer Iconia A500] vari9:
Does the acer iconia support a 320 gb harddrive??

Whts the maximum capacity hard drive that it can read?
[Acer Iconia A500] abats:
Out of the box it can only read FAT32 formatted drives. Your bigger harddrive is most likely formatted as NTFS, you can find a solution to read these drives in the development forum of the Iconia A500.
[Acer Iconia A500] Euclid's Brother:
I've connected 2tb drives just fine. The a500 only supports fat32 drives natively. If its ntfs try ntfsmount or usb mount all.
[Acer Iconia A500] vari9:
How do I do that??do I need to root??

If yes...is there any other soln to it?
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
Hey guys. I think everyone is aware by now that I'm preparing to launch Android4Autism. As far as ROM development goes, I think I have the basic structure down for the Epic. I haven't yet worked on anything else, device-wise.

Anyway, this ROM is based on EE05 Froyo and is along the lines of the BYOR Editions previously released under the midNIGHT ROM banner. I have some ideas and a beta currently in place but I still ironing out the final feature set. My goal is to provide future upgrades if at all possible as well.

I will be in need of testers (preferably with young kids) for the Actual ROM itself and feedback on the following:

1) Apps that should be available (keeping in mind this is for a special needs child)

2) Suggestions for FREE children's software from the Market.

3) I'm thinking of replacing the Samsung "splash screen" with a picture of the child receiving the device along with emergency contact information. Thoughts?

Anyway, I will try to get this up in the next day or so. I have spoken with Fede from LauncherPro and was given permission to use that as the devices launcher. I choose LauncherPro because it can easily be customized by the parents and it allows for the hiding of icons like the dialer for example. So thanks to Fede and the team over at LauncherPro for their support.

For the latest updates you can follow me on twitter @Android4Autism

Also on Facebook at Android4Autism

The main site is under construction as is the Facebook page but I am making progress. Baby steps.....right.

Please remember to consider donating your old devices....NOT YET.. Just hang onto them for the time being.

Thanks Everyone....

UPDATE:

The Android4Autism v1 ROM for the Epic is up on the Development Page.

THIS IS NOT FOR EVERYONE. This ROM is a test ROM based on midNIGHT ROM v5.3 EC05.

This ROM is designed for children with Autism. While it will function basically the same as a BYOR Edition it comes with children's apps preinstalled.

I'm interested in how your children can utilize this. I have had a few revisions of this ROM already. In previous revisions I had launcherpro preconfigured to hide all the apps but the kids ones. However, for some reason the apps couldn't be unhidden. So when these devices ship out the extra apps will be hidden.

This is a stable ROM.

In the final build the following will change:

journaling turned on.

The wallpaper will change

more kids and Autism friendly apps

PLease let me know what you guys think.

Cool Idea, I have a 7 yr old a 3 yr old and a 1yr old that all love to play with my phone. I have to find apps for them all the time to play with. I wouldnt mind helping out with testing. I think its pretty cool that you incorporate something that you love to do with a serious issue that may not be addressed commercially.

Awesome idea Rob. My sister-in-law was asking if I knew of something she could put on (besides toddler lock) and let her kid have at her phone.

Something like this could get a LOT of interest beyond Autism. Perhaps raising money for it in the process?

Way to be on top of it iSaint!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Fade4005:
Hands down brilliant. Let me know if I can help test etc. Already liked on FB and have several friends to mention this to.

While reading the description the "splash screen" bullet sparked an idea. When a phone is locked it will allow emergency calls. What if this was altered to provide quick instructions for any third party and also allow a "call" tab to include parent and local emergency? This would allow anyone to pick up the phone and know what to do vs searching for a contact number and guessing. My son has a wallet card indicating that he has AS and it describes what he may be acting like, what to do, what not to do and who to call. This has worked out well but sometimes he it too far into an episode to remember the card or anything else besides the cause of the episode.

[Epic 4G Android Development] latinmaxima:
I also liked and hope I can attract friends and family to like it as well. I think a small durable tablet would be ideal if we could even get support from tablet makers similar to a laptop for kids in other countries. This can grow into a valuabel tool to help kdis and keep their attention since they see so many around them with these devices.

Installation failed ( something about .bonsai missing)

Coming from midnight 5.3. Had to reflash 5.3 then restored my backup

[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
Interesting. Perhaps I uploaded the wrong revision. I was working with Randy to work out the kinks of turning journaling ON and the ROM appears to be calling for .Bonsai/config.prop. I'll fix it and re-up tonight.

If you open the ROM .zip and look in the SDcard folder you will see a config folder. Copy that to your desktop. Inside that config folder you will find a folder called .Bonsai. If you copy that folder and contents to the root of your sdcard that might fix it. It will also turn journaling ON as well. I have personally moved to Journaling On as of late.

Either way please let me know. Thank for your help. :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] SwimDrewid:
That's the thing -- I have the .bonsai folder. I always come back to Midnight 5.3 (:D), but I was running the latest Bonsai when it was in early release, so that prop was there...

[Desire General] JBristowUK:
Hi, I've been using swiftkey as my default keyboard now for many months, however over the couple of months I've noticed that it keeps resetting the default back to the android keyboard. This is now happening more frequently and is really annoying as I typically only notice it when I need to respond to an sms or email. Sadly it's not just as simple as long pressing an input field and reselecting swiftkey via the input method as it actually de-selects it from the keyboard settings.

I could really use some advice as, I having paid for this app, I want it to work.

To confirm I don't get any crashes or errors and I haven't been able to tell what is causing it.
[Desire General] mortenmhp:
Just throwing it out there, as i have never tried anything like it, but is it whenever it is updated from the market? Because if that is the case, you can just stop updates and only install new versions on demand.
[Desire General] ksavai:
Try moving app from SD card to phone or try new beta version of swiftkey X.
[Desire General] MatDrOiD:
Settings>Language & keyboard settings>set Swiftkey keyboard. If this does not work, try wat ksavai said.
[Desire General] JBristowUK:
Good advice thanks. The app is now moved to SD card so I'll see how it goes.

oh and to answer the other point, the issue is that the Swift option is de-clicked in the options / keyboard screen
[Desire General] Monk3y:
I have just the problem when i reboot my phone, now with swiftkey beta i have no problem
[Desire General] JBristowUK:
ok so it looks like it must have been a conflict on the old swifkey app. I moved it to the SD card and it failed almost immediately.

Now on beta and it hasn't failed once.

So will I have to pay again for this version?
[Desire General] franckleroy:
Hi

I am also a SwiftKey user, I don’t think we ll have to pay for the new version, the licence will be valid for both keyboard....

i need to find a complete guide to root, what do to before the root .. what to do after the root ... the latest BAMF Rom adn whats the difference between the remix and the ginger version is ...

how to install the ROM ...

so basically a very detailed guide ...

i cant find one here ...

i know a few fast root threads .. shoudl i do that and then install the BAMF Rom ..

Rooting guide for TB, you can also do a YouTube search to see the step by step guide yourself, really helped me out.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1081930

That is the thread for all the TB roms and radios and kernels. I had das bamf remix on mine when I first rooted, and just last night took the plunge into gingeritis. A word of caution, you must flash the leaked gb radio to run any gb roms besides cm7, the radios have bricked tbs badly in some cases, read the disclaimers and pay attention.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skazimi:
thanks ...

i wanna do the BAMF 2.0-5 ... whats the different between the original and the remix?

so i root first ... and then install the rom ... im assuming the kernel comes with the ROM ....

is that the most stable ROm ... or should i stick with 1.7?

sorry for all the questions, but i want to make sure i have everything lined up before i do anything ...
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the kid escobar:
I'm not sure of the differences between the original and the remix, as I have only used 1.7 remix for froyo. The rom you want to download is a gb rom so you need to flash the new leaked MR2 radio which you must do through hboot. Make sure you carefully understand the risks involved with flashing a leaked radio and if you decide to go on then great.

First you download the radio and put it in the root of your SD card, making sure you rename it per thread instructions.

Then you download and flash the gingerbread rom through roms manager. Make sure you do a nandroid backup.

After flashing this roms, the phone will reboot. Pull the battery so that the phone will not reboot into gb with the wrong radio.

Hold the volume down and power keys to go into hboot, flash the radio and your good to go. Don't forget to read the instructions carefully, my instructions are only a summary and are not detailed.

In regards to the kernal, I recommend imoseyon lean kernel for sense. DOWNLOAD THE RIGHT KERNEL for your roms. You don't need to do this, but its nice for overclockibg and undervolting to help with battery life. If you decide to do this read about the speedtweak.sh script carefully.

Or you can just flash a froyo rom without worrying about flashing any radios.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skazimi:
Thanks.

Im gna try this over the weekend and see how it goes.

Appreciate the help

Is the gb Rom stable right now or should I stick with froyo

I need netflix. And to get rid of bogus pre installed apps. And better battery life
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the kid escobar:
I can't say of all roms how stable they are, but I can say that in the past 24 hours of running Gingeritis, I have had zero issues whatsoever. It also comes with Netflix preinstalled which is also handy. You could go to the alpha build of cyanogen mod 7, which means you don't need to flash a radio, and it will run Netflix its just that you need to look for the apk which is all over the boards.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pray59:
I put Gingeritis on last night and love having my Netflix back. I tried the latest CM7, and it also runs Netflix, although just a bit jittery. I'm trying the Th3ory ROM's next.

if you guys have used BAMF ( any version 1.7 or above ) and Gingeirits ... can you give me comparisons ...

also ... how can i backup all my apps and settings now ???

dont want to re install everything all the time
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ERIFNOMI:
I'm using BAMF 2.0-5 and it's great. Camera sucks but that's the only problem. I think you can flash the froyo camera and it'll fix it.

You don't need to flash a radio every time. It's separate from the ROM. To backup yours apps/data get Titanium Backup. Buy the full version or donate for a full license.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stedrocklp:
The only time that you would need to switch radios would be if you were switching between froyo and gingerbread. So as long as you have the GB radio you can run any GB ROM. Just as a warning you might want to be careful when it comes to backing up settings or system apps with TiBu or any other backup app. Sometimes it can cause FC issues that you dont want to deal with. But for apps you can use Astro, Titanium Backup (Pro is worth the $), MyBackup Pro and they should all serve the purpose you are looking for. Have fun.
