I was looking for a good simple notetaking program that accepted handwriting input. Theres some character recognition keyboards, but for those who have decent confidence in their legibility should check out Handrite ( https://market.android.com/details?id=my.handrite&feature=search_result )

It doesn't convert the handwriting to text, it just shrinks and justifies it. You can use normal input from a keyboard too. Saves/shares as png's. Not for everyone but cool imo.

Hey everybody!

At first, i appologise if there is similar thread already, but i didint see it in last two days that i'm reading this section...

i was thinking in getting one, but i have some small question(s)...

I read here and on net that the build quality, screen, response, etc... quite good, so thats ok...

But, i see that it has locked bootloader! Does it means, like in motorola milestone, that you cannot have custom kernel??? Or itsmagic script/proof of concept is fixing that? So you CAN have custom kernel? Because i see that there is custom rom(s)...

And, all in all, would you recommend it? What are the biggest flaws by you??

Thx

[Acer Iconia A500] Galeleo:
After owning the 32gb version for about two weeks now, I have to say that the tablet is an excellent bargain. It will do all that you want. Yes, currently its a little glitchy, but the upcoming patches/updates will cure most of the issues.

If the locked bootloader is a concern, well, I wouldnt sweat it. This tablet is still relatively new on the market. In six months, I am sure either acer will unlock or one of the dev's will.

My personal opinion is that the device doesn't need to be unlocked right now. The OS works as stated and will only get better with the updates.

I too would like the unlocked bootloader only because I would like the ability to reload the stock operating system in the event an app pooches it, or make a backup image of my tablet for restoration purposes. Right now in order to reload to stock takes a bit of "massaging" code with the chance of corrupting checksums on files which could prevent updates from acer actually working.

I have to say, that I really enjoy the a500, plays movies, ebooks, surfs the net, has plenty of storage and the ability to add more storage, has a full functioning usb port and has hdmi out......totally awesome, better than a laptop!

I will say this though, before you purchase any tablet, take them for a test drive and then choose the one that suits your needs.
[Acer Iconia A500] vari9:
This device is a must buy...if you ignore a few bugs .....which would definately be fixed in the next update....you don't get a usb 2.0 that easily on any device...
[Acer Iconia A500] umanko:
Although its boot loader is locked but it runs relatively stock honeycomb compared to other tabs hence it gives optimum performance already .
[Acer Iconia A500] amtzone:
im really satisfied with my iconia a500 right now...no regrets at all...:D:D:D
[Acer Iconia A500] themono:
To answer the original question: yes, itsmagic does get around the locked bootloader. There's still an element of complexity added by the bootloader, but nothing too difficult.

Acer though still haven't released the kernel source (illegally I might add) so there are no custom kernels fully working yet.

The hardware itself is excellent though.
[Acer Iconia A500] amossam:
Ok, so all in all, except few software flaws/bugs, device is worth buying!

Thx to everyone

[Acer Iconia A500] Mautflucht:
The full USB port is THE point in my opinion - the full connectivity HC 3.1 will bring can be used without adapter or even a dock. The tab itself could be a bit smaller and lighter, but is quite ok this way. One point: the microfone is really bad - everything above approx. 3.5 kHz is just cut-off :(
[Acer Iconia A500] WereCatf:
I just ordered myself one a few days ago, should be getting it today :)

But well, to the point: I've been reading lots of reviews on it, trying to research all the negatives it has to it and all that. And so far apparently the largest issue people complain about is lack of Exchange support out-of-the-box, ie. not much.

Since I don't use Exchange anyways that doesn't affect me in the least. What most drew me to A500 is the full-size USB host port on it. Apparently it's the only 10" tablet at the moment with such, and atleast to me that's a really big advantage A500 has over the others. There's simply so many situations where being able to pop a USB stick or portable HDD on it will be a godsend. Besides, being able to pop in a regular USB keyboard when you're planning do to a lot of typing is quite a nice feature, too :) Bluetooth keyboards are still so rare and damn expensive.

Install/Recovery Methods

Troubleshooting

If you have a Froyo stock ROM then you should check if your bootloader is signed/secured.

JM9 P1000L version have a protected bootloader.

You can download app and get more informations about bootloaders here.

Some ROMs dont have a dbdata.rfs file.

dbdata.rfs is necessary for flash NEW roms.

dbdata.rfs link for Gingerbread

Before flash, open .tar file (rom) and drag dbdata.rfs into package.

After flash if your 3G dont work, you should install modem of the previous rom.

You can do this replacing modem.bin (JM9) file into .tar package before flash.​

Recovery - Black Screen

Many P1000L/N users are trying to install the new android version (Gingerbread).

If your device shows a black screen you will need press on power button some time for power off it.

Now, for download mode you will press this buttons: Home + (Vol -) + Power

You can test download mode with Odin. When it shows COM Port (yellow) enabled.

You need learn about Heimdall.

What is Heimdall?

Heimdall is a cross-platform open-source tool suite used to flash firmware (aka ROMs) onto Samsung Galaxy S devices. More information.

Now, you should download P1000L stock ROM (Password is "samfirmware.com"):

P1000L

Uncompress .rar

Uncompress .tar

You will see:

boot.bin

cache.rfs

factoryfs.rfs

gt-p1000_mr.pit

hidden.rfs

modem.bin

param.lfs

Sbl.bin

zImage

Now, using Heimdall command line, you will flash boot files.

Be careful!

Its very IMPORTANT...

Its works ONLY on P1000N or P1000L devices.

Command for recover:

heimdall flash --primary-boot boot.bin --secondary-boot Sbl.bin

REMEMBER - The boot files is signed.

Read this topic for solve this.​

Voce é o caraaaa!!

Can i use this with...?

overcome 2.0.x will work with this kernel?

and the bootloader?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] rslee:
Wait, this is the official binary kernel + cf-root?

Can I install this with BJP3?

No CwM yet, right?

THANKS!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] santroph:
AFAIK, CF-root does have CwM inside already.

This should be ok to use with Overcome too, since Overcome only asks for a GB kernel.

Thanks you very much Humberto, spared me of the work of understanding kernels ;)

Greetings Santroph.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] santroph:
Humberto, coule you please make a tar/odin version of the kernel? For some reason my heimdall don't connect to my device, no matter what I do.

I can only get a -12 error (cannot connect)

I have installed the drivers and everything else.

Greetings, Santroph.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] humberos:
The kernel is a .tar file.

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Ronis_BR:
Hi Humberto,

I'm planning to flash Gingerbread using Heimdall.

I have three questions:

1º) I'll decompress the ROM file and substitute dbdata.rfs and modem.bin with the files you said in the other thread and flash everything with Heimdall (repartition enabled). Is it right?

2º) The bootloaders at the Gingerbread P1000N ROM is fully compatible with P1000L device right?

3º) Is it possible to post here the md5sum of each file that I will need to flash using heimdall? I'll be much more calm if I can compare the md5sum of the files you have flashed and we know that work with the ones I'm suppose to flash.

Thanks,

Ronan
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] santroph:
I'm sorry, the old kernel tar files I had had a lot os scripts inside too, so I thought this one wouldn't be accepted by Odin, it worked fine and now I have root :P

Thank you very much.

Our bootloaders are signed and apparently locked with this rom, do you think it is safe to use the apk to unlock them and than use Overcome?

Greetings, Santroph.

Hello HumberOS

Hi Humberos, I have a galaxy P1000N tab to which you installed your rom and I am as P1000L, then install the Kernel ltn_20110612.tar all very well without complaints with the bootloader unlocked with root enabled ..!

My question is: If I install this new kernel ltn_cfroot_r1 Gingerbread can install without problems ..?

Could you tell me the procedure I followed and the files I need to get this q Gingerbread once flashed with your new kernel ..?

As I said originally my Tab is a P1000N your Rom and you have used Odin 20110612 kernel 1.7 for all procedures

Sorry for the length of my questions but understand I need to do to not ruin my tab and I am very new to this and I would greatly appreciate a clear and comprehensive response to achieve what I ask you as well as a detailed been generous with other users ..

Thank you very much Greetings from Ecuador

I think yes, but I dont tested yet.

The bootloaders ARE signed, but NOT secured.

I think that custom kernels and firmwares will can still be flashed.

I need to return to stock Froyo to install Gigerbread ...?

My Tools Froyo stock return are: dbdata.rfs, P1000NUBJM2_P1000NUBJM2_P1000NUUBJM2_HOME.tar, and Odin P1_add_hidden.pit 1.7.

Gingerbread and ascend to the tools and files are the same except that the rom is the P1000NUBJP7_P1000NUBJP3_P1000NUUBJP7_HOME.tar and then would use your kernel ltn_cfroot_r1.tar Flashing

Please I need help with this could you tell me if I'm missing something about this or change something in the procedure ..?

HumberOs you do not have much time to explain everything and there are probably many more like me asking you for help but you'd be infinitely grateful if you give me a hand to have gingerbread on my tab

Thank you very much

Do you flashed a custom Gingerbread kernel? So I think if you replace Overcome kernel...

Regards,

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] alroger:
I suggest you read and understand the other thread from HumberOS and follow post 314 with Humberto's little procedure for flashing Gingerbread and a few tips on postes following that one.

That means, return to stock Froyo ROM (2.2), wiping everything, before flashing stock Gingerbread ROM (2.3).
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ecb5:
Ok! thanks
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] humberos:

Finaly i did take my courage and was able to install Overcome Hermes.

Thank you Humberto and alroger for your support.

It was scary considering all kind ok brick stories...

Last scary thing is i wasn't able to go into recovery mode...

I was expecting the same Power Button-Vol up combination and reaction...i didn't know i was to go into Cwm recovery function...

All is well. I only have to try the modem for 3G.

Now if i want to install another overcome (like Jupiter) do i only do the final step?

Thank you again

This is what i did to go to Overcome Hermes

1- i didn't have GB available from Kies so i downloaded Gingerbread See post #173.(Password: samfirmware.com)

2- Unziped this file into my computer.

3- Installed Brazip and Include dbdata.rfs(see post #173) in downloaded Gingerbread tar.

4- Verify my computer had drivers for my tab

5- Put Tab into download mode pressing Power button-vol down

6- Installed and open Odin3 v1.7

7- Connect tab and see if connected (yellow on ID:COM section)

8- Tick Repartion function

9- Click on PIT and chose downloaded PIT file from post #173

10-Tick PDA and then click to choose modified gingerbread tar

11-Click Start and wait green PASS status

12-wait till tab completes

13-Enter recovery mode by pressing Power button-vol down.

14-make factory reset, wipe cachethe reboot

15-Wait reboot

16-Put tab into download mode again

17-close and open Odin

18-connect tab again

19- do not tick repartition this time click PDA and click to choose latest kernel with Voodoo tar file from post 1

20-Download Overcome rom from post 1 (june 16)

21-Replace Overcome zImage with latest Voodoo zImage in Overcome zip file updates folder

22-Put zip file into sdcard

23-Enter recovery mode

23-Choose to install from sd card

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] alroger:
Humberto, help! After I went back to the previous CM7 update, everything seemed fine.. except wireless again!

While writing this I just realized it might be related to the wifi standby. But thing is I factory reset everything and flashed Jupiter and your latest kernel... no system configs restored.... sooo... any clues? Does the modem.bin influence this (afraid of Jorges latest adventures). I haven't used modem flashes since Froyo.

Simptoms: connect, great.. test, great.. after a while pick it up and wifi signal is all max, but NO communications.. if I disconnet from the AccessPoint, cant connect again.... if I disable wifi, cant enable it again... and a reboot gets it back again.

Could the CM7 zip CwM update have messed something like that?

UPDATE: Definetly standby kills it.

Hi guys,

Have you seen that:

@samfirmware UPDATE NEWS: Its not sure if all countries will get Gingerbread update Galaxy Tab. (reason sales)

I know samfirmware isn't 100% reliable, but every leaked information there has a probability to be true. If it is, than Humberto kernel should be our only chance to get Gingerbread on P1000L. Although, we have the TV drive problem. I think it is time to think if it is possible to get froyo source code and port the drive. What do you think Humberto?

Thanks,

Ronan.
