[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] Berner:
Anyone can put tablet optimized into the keywords to try and take advantage of people doing what they think will return apps designed for tablets.

And please stop insulting the intelligence of the community members. Considering that you made a post in the step-by-step root thread saying, "Can someone give me step by step instructions?" I don't think you have any room to cast stones.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] Grommish:
Apple's biggest advantage is the fact they control thw hardware AND the software.. the android market is spread to hell and back with the vendors trying to fight with each other, rather than iOS.

Porting from one phone platform to another is tedious from what I've read, vendor restrctions make it even harder.

As someone who did indeed drop $599 ona tab today, I'm not surprised at the lack of hc-optimized apps. The sam10.1 dropped retail 5 days ago, and is the first tab, in my mind, worth the cash. Stock with root, it pulled a 61mflop in linpack for christ's sake.. my hacked, kernel'ed and rom'ed oc'ed @1400 epic 4g oonly gets 19.. the hw is there, the rest will come.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] goalweiser:
I didn't know about that only compatible apps show up on your tablet. It does seem to be working. I haven't installed an app from the Android Marketplace that hasn't used my entire 10.1 screen.

Basically we have what we want.

1) Apps compatible with the Galaxy Tab 10.1 are the only apps that show up period when you're using your tablet. These apps are just fixed to scale up to the size of your screen but add no extra features or resolution. All of these work on phones and tablets....possibly even Google TV.

2) The "Featured" Apps are optimized for Honeycomb. They have extra features, resolution, and bigger file sizes. Some of these won't ever work on a phone but obviously they all work on tablets and quite possibly Google TV.

So if it shows up on your tab, you're good. Anybody install anything that didn't work correctly?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] hyann:
actually, yeah. I got asphalt 5, directly from the market, on the tab, and downloaded it. It informed me it was not suited for my device (and the game screen was actually one fourth the tab screen) and it exited automatically.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] ghostboa:
Haha too funny. Thanks Berner.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] TheBigSaxon:
I was thinking the exact same thing. He sounds like an iPhan going through withdrawal because Google hasn't matured to the point of Apples App Store.

And just for the record on my Market home page the first section lists all the HC apps. The last time I looked there were about 125 HC specific apps. All the "THD" will all work to although about 95% of those will be games.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] WS6Lethal:
New user from iWorld.

I am a prime example of what this thread is about. I've had an iphone for over a year and a half, and just picked up a Galaxy Tab 10.1 over the weekend. For the record, I've never liked Apple. I've always been a PC person, and like to play games. I also like to customize things the way I want. Apple did make a damn good device though, and I got one. They have done some things right, and it just makes the experience easier and more enjoyable.

In short, the iphone/ipad market is much easier to find what you want. It's not just finding what is optimized for tablets, but other categories. I was looking a good role playing game, but there is no RPG section in gaming. Anything that is RPG looks to be in action, or puzzle/thinking games. You then have to look through ALL of each category. Better sorting would lead to more downloads.

Another thing I didn't like is that you can't see ratings until you actually click and view the app. If I can see that something is only rated 2 or 3 stars, I wouldn't bother even reading it.

I do, however, like that there is more info on the app page itself. You can watch watch videos, read reviews, see what else the developer has made. In this regard, the android market is better than Apple.

No one should have to look at a website first to get the info they need, when the info should be wight there to begin with. I think if the Android Market makes those changes, more people will be less intimidated about getting Android devices, and getting more apps.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] element3g:
i just switched from ipad 2 to galaxy tab recently, was really excited how amazing this tablet will be since i have used over 20 android phones, but all that changed when i got the tablet. Biggest reason is the market, when you are spending $500-$600 on a tablet you expect to have decent amount of apps or an app store to be organized for honeycomb but instead you get alot of non tablets apps that do run but crash every now and then.

i am very disappointed and would never buy an android tablet for a long time.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] Big-A-Rob:
You can check this site out http://tablified.com/. I agree that the market could better define tablet optimized apps. Android tablets are relatively new so it will get there, but in the mean time this site will get the job done. I have seen the number and quality of the tablet optimized apps growing recently.

Like nba live or something? Please ppl dont come tell me buy psp or console im just asking a simple question.
[General Questions and Answers] player911:
There was a cool AR Basketball game called BigPlayAR. It was a 3D hoops game.

I do believe there are 3D basketball games, but I've never downloaded one to try. Have you searched the market?

I did a quick search and only found some hot shots type games, similar to the BigPlayAR.

You could load up a SNES version of NBA Jam and call it a day.

That would be 2D. But he could look at the PS1 emulator FPSE and PS1 basketball games.

Crud, your links for the files in dropbox aren't working. :confused:
[Atrix 4G General] Magnetox:
You sure? I clicked them both myself to make sure they work.

How don't they work?

FYI: I'm reuploading them to megaupload as we speak anyways
[Atrix 4G General] Magnetox:
When I got my phone to update to 2.2.2 it felt amazing.

I just wanted to spread the love :D
[Atrix 4G General] tyrkk:
Thank you so much!! You don't know how frustrated I've been all day! The only problem I had was that my root was gone after I flashed it, but I just updated through settings and it worked flawlessly :)
[Atrix 4G General] Magnetox:
NP! Just glad you got your update.

I changed the steps so that the last step is simply updating via settings. If that doesn't work for people I will help them out in this thread with the more complicated coding way.

Cheers!
[Atrix 4G General] IrshaadH:
Couldn't step ten be used to revert to stock from an international sbf?
[Atrix 4G General] Rickroller:
Ok..quick question. You said not to install for those using any international version. I have run the Telstra sbf at one point..as well as had the Greyblur rom on. Before installing the Telstra I had made a backup using CWM, and a few days ago I had to revert to my old backup due to a rogue app. In my About phone, it tells me my System version is Blur_Vision.0.37.4MB860.BellMobility.en.CA with a Build number of OLYA_U4_0.37.4.

Would this be still safe for me to do seeing's how it seems i'm back to my "Bell sbf" or is there still going to be some Telstra files in there that could cause me some problems?
[Atrix 4G General] bdking2:
I made it through to the end of step 10 and the phone was looking good. Then when I shut off the phone and tried to go into Android Recovery, it keeps going to the triangle symbol and I have to reboot.

After a couple times of that I decided to check Android Recovery from inside the app list and it said I no longer have root access.

Any ideas what to do now??
[Atrix 4G General] Magnetox:
Depends on whether or not you're still on the telestra framework. If you're confident with your ability to recover from a potential brick via early usb enumeration id go for it.
[Atrix 4G General] Magnetox:
Edit: See my lower post first, then this one

Open up the menu in android recovery by tapping both the bottom left corner and bottom right corner of the screen at the same time.

It should show you an error if there was one.

Does the phone boot fine?

You should lose root access. When you flash the .bin it restores your bell to stock like you got it from the store. That allows you to update.

Most importantly open up the recovery menu when you see the triangle by tapping the bottom left and right corners simultaneously. Itll take a few tries.
[Atrix 4G General] Magnetox:
No, since you are on an international framework it will probably brick your phone.

That .bin file contains the system partitions from the stock bell framework.

If you want to try go ahead but I think the odds are against you :p
[Atrix 4G General] Magnetox:
Bdking I have another idea. if you can boot up your phone, re-root it using any normal methods, then install CWM. Boot into CWM recovery mode and clear the cache from there. Then do step 11.

Chances are the update file is hanging out in your cache so when the android recovery sees that it immediately tries to install the messed up package.

Thats why you should clear cache on CWm because it wont try to install anything automatically from the cache. Then do step 11.

Hope it helps, Mag.
[Atrix 4G General] bdking2:
No my phone boots fine. And now I can get into android recovery to clear cache and have done so. But before I read your response I rooted my phone again.

Should I just restart everything?
[Atrix 4G General] Magnetox:
No you should be good to go try to update via settings.

You flashed the bin right?

If so you're good to go :)
[Atrix 4G General] bdking2:
I flashed the bin for sure. But wasn't sure about the process because I rooted again.
[Atrix 4G General] Magnetox:
Root shouldnt change anything only deodexing/webtop mod/ theming should mess it up.

If you flashed the bin go for it. Worst thing that can happen is that the update fails.

In that case, redo step 10, then do step 11.
[Atrix 4G General] IrshaadH:
So, there is absolutely NO WAY I can get back to the Bell framework from 2.1.1 without an actual Bell sbf?
[Atrix 4G General] Magnetox:
NFHimself knows a way.

But hes a master of code.

Pm him, he might be able to help you.

He was happy he got his bell 2.2.2 thoough. so im assuming it wasnt easy.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mirkos90:
Hello! I am new to this forum and Android.

In fact I have a little Android 'used on my nokia n900 nitdroid with the project, but what about the field "hacking" I do not know much. I'm a programmer, I think I understand pretty well and know how to hack.

I would like to ask you a bit 'of information, and if some guidance.

I recently purchased a Samsung YP-g50cw Galaxy player. We carry a little 'feature that I read from the information system:

Firmware Version: 2.1-Update1

Kernel Version: 2.6.29

Build Number: ECLAIR.JL3_EU

I recently ran the "root" of my device, but frankly I can not do something fundamental to upgrade. I wish I could go from version 2.1 to version 2.2 or higher. The fact is that KIES tells me that for my firmware upgrade can not run, so look for a solution "manual".

Assuming that as the operating system I use Linux Ubuntu 10.10, the best thing would be if you could provide special software for my system. Otherwise I can always use my brother's computer with Windows XP Service Pack 3 (where I just tried KIES).

Thank you all and congratulations to all of you for this wonderful forum which I think I fond.

[Nexus S General] boozelclark:
Hi

I followed this tutorial (http://nexusshacks.com/nexus-s-hacks/how-to-root-nexus-s/) to root my Nexus S (GTi-9023). Like a bunch of other people on this site my phone got stuck on the "Google with a pad lock" boot screen (I should have come to xda first). So to get past this i downloaded the stock rom (from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1056062) and extracted boot.img and then flashed the stock boot image and booted with it as below.

>fastboot flash boot boot.img

>fastboot boot boot.img

This fixed fixed my booting problem and i then used rom manager to install clockwork recovery. I can boot into clockwork recovery from rom manager but not from fastboot. i get an android with an exclamation mark. Any idea why and/or how to fix this?

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus S General] Maximilian Mary:
Rename /etc/install-recovery.sh to install-recovery.sh.bak, then reflash the recovery.
[Nexus S General] XDA_Badman:
DONT use rom manager to flash the recovery it hardly ever works [for me],

If you have 'Android SDK' and 'ADB' then,Download a decent recovery file and place it in your 'Android-SDK/tools" directory, then go to your 'cmd' [command prompt] and navigate to your android-sdk/tools directory ,,example below.

''cd C:/android-sdk/tools'' [cd meaning 'change directory']

Then type, "adb devices" it should list your devices ith a load of numbers and letters, if it does then proceed, if not re-plug your device into the USB [in the bootloader]

Then type,

"fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" and let it do its thing. [if it does not work , make sure you renamed you recovery file to 'recovery.img'

Hope this helps!!
[Nexus S General] mbfrog:
The problem is that with the stock rom the stock recovery gets flashed after boot up (by /etc/install-recovery.sh). Search for install-recovery.sh in the nexus s forums.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonitfcfan:
Hi,

I recently got my Transformer with keyboard dock a couple of days ago and am very pleased with how it's been performing up to now (updated to 3.1 soon after I got it :)). I've got one question though (not sure if anyone has tested this): if you have the keyboard docked and you plug the charger into the dock, will both the dock and tablet charge in one sitting? Or does the power not get passed through somehow, meaning I have to charge each device separately?

Thanks.

Regards,

Jon.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrunchyDoodle:
Basically yes. The charger will charge whatever needs charging. I have the user created dual charging application that shows me exactly what's happening, and that's how it happens. It's the best case scenario. The ASUS engineer who designed that part of the system was wide awake when he / she was working on it.

Bye. :cool:
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonitfcfan:

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ad1980:
Just a heads up, you're not going to want to leave the tablet docked to the keyboard when not in use as it drains the battery very quickly.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonitfcfan:
When you say 'not in use' I'm guessing you mean when the tablet is switched on and left alone, right? Or does the same thing happen in this scenario even with the tab switched off? (Probably a dumb question lol :o)

My charging saga

Here is my charging saga,

Received my TF yesterday (along with the keyboard dock), thought I would boot it up for a quick look. It did not have enough charge to that. Put it on the charger, wasn't sure it was charging then but as mentioned in above post it was getting something cause it came on for a brief moment. After 8 hours I powered on the TF, booted up no issue but I had only 38% charged, but it wasn't showing it was charging (unless I overlooked some kind of icon). Quickly installed dual battery app, it showed battery was not charging. So, I put it on the dock (did not want to I wanted to sell the dock, it was free with the purchase) anyway, the dock was drained also but at least it showed at that time it was charging both. Will see what next after work.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] wynand32:
Looks like the TF does pretty well here overall, coming in a strong second to the iPad 2 and way ahead of the Xoom. They'll be testing the Acer and Samsung GT 10.1 soon, so we'll be able to see how it compares against them as well.

Here are the TF results: http://www.displaymate.com/Asus_Transformer_ShootOut.htm#Suggestions
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dorino1:
It's a given that it'd beat the Xoom. It's doesn't have an IPS, and the iPad 2 and TF do.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wynand32:
Having had a Xoom before the TF, I can say that it's more than just a lack of an IPS screen. The Xoom display was very unpleasant, particularly in terms of color. Didn't enjoy it at all. The fact that the Xoom's display is also apparently highly variable from one device to another was also disconcerting...

I'll be interested to see how the Samsung does. I'm guessing it'll come in pretty close to the Xoom, given how over-saturated colors seem to be on it. That's something I don't think this guy will overlook.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dorino1:
The samsung is over-saturated, but it's better than the TF and iPad in terms of the viewing angle and, as I've read, the consistent illumination.

I'm very happy someone who knows what gamut actually is tested the TF. It's great to finally be able to quote a reliable source about brightness, etc.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Dorkington:
I own an iPad 1 and a TF, both have decent screens. The iPad, imo, has a more balanced calibration though.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peterpunn:
I have seen a number of threads comparing and analyzing the different ROMs. I have extensively used two of the leading contenders for "best GB ROM" - Deck's GB ROM (1.2 stable released yesterday) and Vaelpak 0.2.1 (released a few days ago). Here is a list of pros and cons that I noticed - I may have missed some so please jump in and add to the list in this thread. Maybe we can put together a comprehensive list of differences (knowing, of course, that it is always a moving target).

Please note that I ran both ROMs with Tiamat 4.0.5-sbc kernel. Results may be different with different kernels.

Also, by no means am I saying that these are the best ROMs out there. These are just the two that I have extensively used and can therefore compare/contrast first hand.

So here goes ...

Deck's GB ROM v1.2

1. Minimalist and lightweight ROM - default Android Launcher.

2. Minimalist themes, no special wallpapers, fonts, icons, etc.

3. GPS works out of the box (was a problem with earlier versions of the ROM).

4. Wifi, BT and 4G work without issues, except ...

5. Wireless tethering works, but sometimes stops playing well with 4G. i.e. you will be tethered, and even with 4G on you will be getting 3G speeds. This is not consistent behavior - sometimes tethering works great with 4G.

6. I have not experienced any wakelock issues.

7. About 10% more battery life with Tiamat kernal than Vaelpak.

8. ROM is very stable - very few app FCs, practically no reboots.

9. Netflix works.

Vaelpak 0.2.1

1. Comes packaged with Go Launcher.

2. More inbuilt themes, wallpapers, fonts, widgets.

3. GPS, Wifi, BT, 4G and tethering work without any issues.

4. Less stable than Deck's ROM (Note - the developer does explicitly state that this is a work-in-progress, so things should improve on this front). There are some random reboots, wakelock issues.

5. Comes packaged with CPU profiles and undervolting scripts. You can underclock/overclock and undervolt without SetCPU or vipermod scripts. A big plus. (Note - it is possible to do all of this on Deck's ROM, just needs a few additional steps by the user).

6. Comes packaged with DT apps2sd. Again, a big convenience removing the need to do this manually.

7. Packaged email app does not support "Select All". Had to point this out since it is a rather big negative for me. (Note - this is in the dev's list of planned enhancements).

8. No packaged FM radio app.

9. Netflix works.

So in essence, as of today the Deck ROM is more stable and "safer", but Vaelpak has enough packed in features to make it quite formidable.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prugor:
Default launcher in Decks is ADW (free), I believe.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XsMagical:
The default launcher in Decks is Launcher 2.

I tried out Vaelpack preview last week and it was really nice but lacks a few things i enjoy. Deck as striped the rom to the point that you have to install a lot more then desired. Both are great roms hand down. I'm just going to wait for VP to get a more stable beta going and once he adds the theme chooser i might just jump ship
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joey_UFC:
i would have to say deck because he updates his thread alot and always adds new things.

im not 100% on this but when was the last time Vaelek put out a new rom or updates his previous work?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peterpunn:
Actually Vaelek's GB ROM (Vaelpak4 v0.2) was released on May 31, and v0.2.1 was released June 20. He is also very active on his forum, and maintains a public list of items/fixes that he is currently working on. Very informative, and will give you a great picture of what is coming soon.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HipKat:
Having not used either, but being familiar with both Dev's ROMs, I can say right now Decks, because it's been out longer and had more testing, etc.

I didn't know Vaelpak was putting a GB ROM together, but I promise you, when he get's it finalized, it will be amazing.

His Senseless ROM was a daily driver for me for a long time. Every detail gets paid attention to in his ROMs.
