[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gladiolur:
After What I tried.. I'm not quite sure but this is what I have experienced

MIUI is an image copy of IOS.. Not an Apple fan

CM7: amazing ROM, I really like it on my phone, unfortunately got real problems and bugs (couldn't fix the "add account" problem with all my trials, and the mic problem). What is the benifit of having a cool ROM with a bug of one of the phone essentials as the mic? After all its a phone before being a fancy-cool-apps-device!!

Simply Honey: not as cool as CM7, but its stable and fast.. I recommend this as the best one of what of what I tried for now, I am using it currently :)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alyoder:
To each his/her own. I find nothing about the iphone to be elegant. Utterly nothing. In fact words cannot express how much I hate iOS because I honestly think it is hideously ugly and cumbersome.

And I say that after owning one. Went to android, and I bow bended knee and thank the Great Green Mechanical Overlord that I did.

*Of course I know this is purely subjective, my opinion no more "right" than those who love iOS*
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OverAMD:
i tried few GB roms miui cm7 simply ect///but i think the best is Revolution Rom RC1 by ali1276
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seirdo:
MIUI.us

I first tried CM7 but GPS didn't work, and I had to find gapps. =(

I tired MIUI before it was official, and it was buggy and had the cons of CM7. =(

I then tried Simply Honey, but I kept getting rainbows. (At least it kinda showcased the Vibrant's amazing screen lol) =(

I reverted to 2.2 for awhile, and later found that MIUI had officially released the us version.

It has been the best hands down. =D

With MIUI, my phone is always snappy. The built-in app killer is better than my FastReboot+ATK^2 combo that used to work best for my phone. The Settings UI is so sexy, and has tabs with tons of options. GPS works (w/the official MIUI). If you haven't already heard, MIUI's music app is possibly the best out there, and is my favorite out of all I've tried. The album artwork isn't always accurate, but the automatic lyrics work a large percentage of the time. I was surprised to love MIUI's file explorer much better than Astro File Manager. While ofc allowing you to navigate your files in a very familiar way, it also allows you to browse your files by type by automatically organizing them for you! (BIG +) The notifications can also be customized, which made my life MUCH easier.

I didn't enjoy MIUI's original home screen, but regardless, I prefer LauncherPro so it wasn't much of a con. Only complaint so far is not being able to use Font Changer, but meh; not an overbearing issue. Or Speed Dial, but again, meh.

Forget likening MIUI to iOS; this love child of Apple and Android has out done both its parents imo. The only resemblances to iOS that stick out to me is being able to text back immediately (which is wonderfully efficient), and alarm setting (scrolling through numbers instead of typing, which is also efficient). MIUI also allows for a greater range of customization than most ROMs provide, which is why I posit that MIUI generally has the upper hand to Android. The lowest screen setting with MIUI is actually darker than typical, saving battery life. Being able to turn off data helps battery life, too. There are a little more nooks and crannies to explore, which makes your phone fun again. Why else would we be constantly looking for another ROM, but to change up our phone experience a bit?

I used to like my phone a lot. Now, with such a broad range of functionality and customization, paired with the efficiency of being able to make frequent tasks simple, my phone finally feels like My UI -- and I love it.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gladiolur:
I do agree with you, CM7 is not stable and it didnt work well with me... Simple Honey is so heavy and has sooooooo many problems..

MIUI is the best so far, its not that I like it the best because I dont like things that look like Iphone. plus it has some errors like low voice on mic or when you hear people sometimes.

anyway MIUI for me is the best, not perfect but the best available so far..
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HeavyA:
You may want to try out the latest revamped. many of the big issues have been fixed, and on my phone at least, the GPS works fairly well with no tweaking necessary (it just takes a couple minutes to lock onto the satellites).

I also don't have any mic our speaker volume issues.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaintfm:
Definitely MIUI. The only ROM I've flashed that didn't feel like a marginally incremental upgrade. Long press toggles to open options, hundreds of easily downloadable themes that are updated in the launcher rather than needing to wipe caches in recovery and flash and wait 10mins and reboot and wait another 5 mins, etc...

Oh, and the smoothness! Not sure what kind of coding they put in that blows Froyo and i9000 Gingerbread out of the water, but wow! Games that used to stutter don't anymore. That alone is worth the price of admission. Oh, and GPS works great.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Ravynmagi:
I haven't been able to touch a white Galaxy Tab 10.1 yet. But I've seen lot of unboxing and review videos of it and the white back looks very glossy without any visible texture that I can see.

The dark gray model has a back that is matte and has a brushed aluminum looking texture (it's plastic though). I can run my fingers across the back and feel the many tiny grooves that make up the brushed effect.

Before buying my Tab I notice some reviewers of the white model complain it was a little slippery, which worried me a little. The dark gray one has a great grip though. But since I haven't touched the white one, but if it's really as smooth and glossy as it looks, I would think it would have less grip than the gray model.

Wondering if anyone has gotten a chance to touch both and had any comments?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] samrozzi:
well i have the white. was gonna buy the other one at my best buy since they had both. but got white since it stood out more. its a little slick. but not too bad. plus im gonna get a case
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] verusevo:
Glossy white = teh sex kitten

Fake metal = teh Meh...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] markp99:
I was on the fence, the grey (to me anyway) reminded me of some cheap old laptop back. I got the white one. The glossy plastic back reminds me a bit of the glossy black back on my Samsung Fascinate phone...which I like. The texture of the grey just not as appealing.

Now, if they had a glossy black back...I'd probably go for that! :)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Jnn1:
I've used both, and if you're worried about actually grip, the white is not really more slippery than the grey. The grey only FEELS less slippery cause of the brushed texture, but it's not quite enough friction to make a material difference. It is basically the same plastic as the white. But still, I personally preferred the feel of the grooves on my fingers than not.

I think white vs grey is more about your aesthetic tastes. Whether you want something that exudes more of flashy, shiny, cool persona (often mistaken as an ipad), or something more subdued, serious, professional (like the Xoom/Flyer).

Of more importance is the fact that the back color determines the rim style. Whether grey or white, you don't really look at the back, but the color of the back decides the matching rim which frames the front you always look at. So, when you look at your GT screen, would you like it to be framed by a shiny silver lining, or a matte grey lining? That's the choice that you need to make. Again, I preferred the understated matter grey rim.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ad78:
too much bling for the white. and it will get scratched easily.

Grey FTW!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Ravynmagi:
That was my main worry when I was buying. I went dark gray with the texture because I figure it'll hide any possible scuffs and marks easier than the glossy white would.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Rhyno77:
My wife's white fascinate was actually why I decided to buy gray. That thing is so slippery that I couldn't stand the thought of killing my 600 purchase. That being said, I know ill be getting the folio case anyway when one of these local dummies get 'em in stock. For now I have the Belkin slim.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ericc191:
Grey all the way. I think it looks better too
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] zaphyr:
Anyone know what color the rim is on the black GT is?

Edit: comparing images from this site: http://www.samsung.com/global/microsite/galaxytab/10.1/images.html

it seems the rim on the black one is darker than on the white. but who knows how it really looks irl
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Jnn1:
There is no black GT 10.1 out inthe US, at least not yet. It's either white or grey back like the photos above. (Of course the front bezel is black in all models)

If a blackone did come out, that would be cool though.

White version is exclusive to Best Buy?

I think I actually prefer the look of the white. I also prefer to not pay sales tax on a $600 device, so I'll probably stick with my faux-metal backed version.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] notfaded1:
got the grey 32

The white one just reminds me too much of Apple products... and let's be honest this is the anti-apple... anti-closed system club right?

So I say... Go grey... the only way... it's not white... and it's not gay. (no offense if u r)

I did store pick up. I ordered metallic gray one but when I got back home, I noticed I got a white one. I don't really think this is too slippery but it feels far from heavy duty. I'm ordering shield and leather portfolio

Hi Taha,

Try QuickBoot ...or extended power control widgets

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] taha_e:
Thanks for your attention, there are some widgets on the market which can do reboot and recovery or even download mode. but it was just an idea to create a new widget to popup power menu, I think that would not be so difficult for programmers as they are only going to call a phone function.

Is anybody else having issues when waking their tab? Sometimes when pressing the screen wake button I get a black screen for a while. I usually have to wait and then press the screen wake button a couple times before the lock screen appears.

Other than this issue the Tab is great!

Any help would be great, Thanks!

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Viperoz:
Are you using 3.0.1 or 3.1

I know 3.0.1 its not a wake issue its a crash issue where you have to hold down the on/off button for 10-15 secs to get it to reboot. I was hoping the 3.1 would fix this alas 3.1 is not yet available for the 10.1v
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] UKseagull:
This sounds like a similar issue that some Transformer owners are experiencing too, SOD?

I had mine do this last night. It was plugged in when I went to bed. Woke up and had to hold down the power button for a bit to get it to restart. Running 3.1.

Though I heard somewhere that it might be an app issue.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] jjahn:
I'm also having the same exact issue. In fact, it's worse on 3.1. Now, the screen simply will not come back up until the device is rebooted. I know the tablet is awake because I can hear notification sounds going off.

I wrote Samsung's developer support so we'll see what happens there. Luckily, I received mine at the IO but it does make returning it difficult. :P

Status_bar_header_background_01.png

im sorry i didnt read the post correctly the first time so you can ignore the above.i make it transparent to get rid of it and im sure you can change the color by adjusting the hue and saturation in paint.net or adobe.if you use paint.net you can go to the bottom right and look for opacity or something close to that.that is the transparency adjustment if you didnt already know.its so easy just using winrar to move the images around.thats what ive found to be extremely easy.i definitly need to learn the correct way but that works for now.good luck my friend
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] mike216:
I see the background image your talking about is already transparent. If you wanted to change it you can use the paint bucket and dump some on it then you'll be in a good position to manipulate the image to the way you want it

I flash GB rom(simply honey 6.something) and the i tried to install another GB rom but after rebooting my phone i won't boot.. and i can't get into download mode I tried the vol bottons and then plug the usb but no luck is ther any more way to get into download mode???????????????
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djluis48:
This:

1. Take out everything from your phone. SIM, Ext SD Card, Battery

2. Press BOTH Vol Buttoms

3. Plug USB on PC and on the Phone

4. Put back ONLY the battery

5. You should be in download mode

Thats the usual way, but, idk some devices go into download mode in a different way than the usual way, for example, mines. This is how i go into download mode:

1. Phone is unplugged and turned off.

2. First i press VOL DOWN ONLY and then POWER Buttom

3. Voila, im in download mode. No need to plug the USB or taking out the battery

I discovered it by accident, i was going to go into recovery, turned off the phone and accidentaly pressed vol down instead of vol up, and i was pretty in shock when i saw the download icon pop on my screen. I was lucky i guess, i was already planning on buying/making a JIGG lol. Goodluck!

hi guys,

first of all hi :) names troy i live in New Zealand and have an imported uk unlocked defy.. since i have updated to the official UK update through Motorola Software Update things were going great up until i installed a custom recovery (phone was rooted properly) .. i tried booting into it with the volume rocker down and got the android ! sign, tried to click all over screen with no luck :( so i removed battery and put it back in, then all i got was the Motorola splash screen turning off and on, so basically bricked right? then i began to try unbricking with RSD Light which fixed it but now the phones acting all strange like it cant download from the android market etc.. so what i want to do is do i complete factory reset, so i can start over again and learn from my mistakes, BUT it wont let me factory reset at all i tried the factory data reset through the privacy menu but when it gets to the erase everything button i push it and nothing happens :( so i tried the hard reset holding the vol rocker down, and i get the android ! sign and tapping anywhere on the screen does nothing so i have to remove battery and restart. could somebody please assist me? sounds like i've screwed up the recovery system, is there a way to install the factory original one?

thanks in advance!

p.s even if theirs away to completely erase the entire flash and then reflash to factory (when i re-flash with RSD Light no matter what sbf i pick it seems to keep all settings as in i don't get the login to google, motoblur, splashes etc as if i just purchased it, there already logged in and running)

Can you just get a wired controller and plug it in? I know that costs more money, but it would work... :)
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpopz:
I installed VeganTab GE and the install was pretty successful using the nvflash method. The only thing that I wasnt able to do was install Pershoots latest rom (boot-cm_2632.41_gb-oc-uv-xtra-vfp_fp-060311.zip)

I made the mistake of installing Rom Manager and updating the CWM to 2.1.5.8. My question is that would there be problems if I upgrade the newer kernel using CWM2158 ? Has anyone tried to do this? According to some posts, it seems that CMW v.8 is the only version that plays nice with the gtablet.

Right now the tablet is functioning, but occasionaly just shuts down apps like the browser and maps. Hopefully a newer kernel fixes that.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mantara:
Just re flash cwm .8 bekit and call it good. Rom manager does not play well even with .8 let alone the newest recovery you installed.

Don't waste your time and data nvflashing after it borks everything and you have to do a drastic recovery.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpopz:
I originally downloaded cwm v.8 from the forums. This is the same as cwm .8 bekit ? The cwm v.8 is the version that got overwritten to 2.1.5.8, and for some reason, when I try to re-flash it into the recovery mode, it cant seem to find the update.zip and recovery folder even though its there
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mantara:
.8 bekit is the same as cwm .8 you flashed in the past. Bekit is the one who altered it for gtab. You can nvflash cwm which is the safest way or you can use the cwm you currently have to try and reflash .8 cwm and just cross your fingers.

Here you can find simple step by step instructions to nvflash cwm.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] frentraken:
Just got myself a transformer today and it seemed great, however right after about 5 minutes the thing goes nuts like someone is swiping or touching the screen. Mostly just one spot on the left side and it will do it whether I'm holding it or it's sitting by itself. Can't seem to find anything posted about this wondering if thats because it's not common or I'm just not looking for the right stuff? Any help would be great, will likely return it tomorrow anyhow but if there's a fix would be nice.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] SwiftLegend:
Yeah, I got this as well while playing Angry Birds (F'd up my scores ! ). I don't know if it will work for you, but I just cleaned the screen really well with a cotton ball and alcohol, dried it, then used a microfiber cloth to clean it up (the ones that come with glasses, screen protectors). It worked for me, i think there was some gunk on the screen and was registering as a touch..
