I agree that if that chingy had ignored that one inflammatory post that started it all, it probably would have been forgotten soon. I like chingy's work & I've donated to him, and I was just a surprised to see him bail, but he had his reasons. He didn't leave because of one ignorant comment. But the growing disrespect & sense of entitlement that I see among some people here would make me want to thumb my nose at them too.
[Thunderbolt General] TheLoonyRebel:
Very true. Not too long ago I got a pretty rudely written private message from one XDA "member" who decided to dictate to me how I should run my ROM/kernel listings. I didn't give this "member" any time in response since honestly people like that are not worth it. But yes there certainly is a growing amount of disrespect and entitlement that is even starting to make me feel a bit burned out. Don't get me wrong there's many awesome folks around here who have certainly made XDA awesome. It just seems like more and more people who aren't quite as civilized are joining which is ruining the once great vibe around here.
[Thunderbolt General] loonatik78:
I, for one, would like to thank you for the time you've taken to put that listing together. It's VERY convenient. I know that takes a good deal of time just to keep updated and it's usually up to date within a few days. I very much appreciate it.
[Thunderbolt General] loonatik78:
The problem is that is WAS NOT a few posts. For whatever reason, his threads, namely, the Incredibly Re-engineered thead, The Perfect Storm thread, and ESPECIALLY his Gingeritus and Gingeritus3D, were fairly well peppered with disgruntled people who got quite caustic, demanding and critical of his work. I still have a link to his first ROM, the work that became IR, and, unlike others, his involvement did begin as a project to serve himself; one he decided to share. His ROMs have never worked well when new was flashed over old. That's why he put the wipe script in there. How many MONTHS would any of you take the caustic critiques of fools who clearly didn't read the OP, nor the content of the tread from the date of a new update?
[Thunderbolt General] adrynalyne:
Maybe they were caustic because of how he replied to them? I don't recall chingy ever being diplomatic. I mean, he bit the head off of some poor dude asking for a mirror. Thats kind of dumb.

I ignore assholes, usually. The users tend to bury them back behind the shed, anyway.
[Thunderbolt General] Agentbolt:
A lot of the devs here seem pretty touchy. Chingy tended to go off on people, I've seen one of the BAMF mods (adrynalyne I think?) get fairly *****y with imoseyon at one point or another, etc. And there's a LOT of users here who will ask questions that were literally answered 1 or 2 pages (or posts!!) before, or complain that a bleeding edge ROM isn't 1000% stable. It's a lot of obnoxious behavior on both sides (although honestly the hordes of users who muck up the boards with their "Why don't I have 4G anymore!!!!!" posts when they flashed a GB ROM without changing the radio are more annoying I feel)

Was whatever poster a douche for yelling and screaming that an unofficial, experimental, FREE ROM jacked up his data? Absolutely. Could Chingy have maybe more it FAR more clear that his ROM would auto-wipe, and maybe handled the thing like a big boy instead of doing his "I'm taking my little red tricycle and going home" act? Again, sure.

In the end though, I think the biggest thing to keep in mind is that we're getting (for FREE) ROMS that people spend hours on, that wildly outperform the stock ROMS that HTC employees get paid extremely decent money to make. That should really be the touchstone for any problems people have this place.

And yeah, I donate (Only to the BAMF team thus far in fairness, and I can't even use their ROMS because it turns my phone into a rebooting machine) but I don't think that gives me any right to dictate or expect certain things from the devs. And I don't think the services the devs provide should allow them carte blanche to be *****y little divas about every perceived slight.
[Thunderbolt General] adrynalyne:
Adrynalyne here.

I don't think you, or imoseyon could provide an example of where I was *****ing at him ;)

Although, I have found at times that I can amuse myself.

And I didn't even run off to our own forum (yes we have one).
[Thunderbolt General] Agentbolt:
I think I was mostly thinking of your "I'm sure I speak for all devs to be happy to see logcat disabled... /sarcasm." response to Imo's tweaks thread, which, yeah, that's a pretty weak example. Sorry, didn't mean to call you out. I've seen you and the rest of the BAMF crew patiently help out people who I would have caps-locked screamed at to read the goddamn OP many many times. :)

edit: and sorry, to clarify, I was definitely NOT referring to you when I mentioned devs acting like *****y little divas, that was directed at Chingy.
[Thunderbolt General] g00s3y:
Maybe the last guy who asked Chingy for a mirror broke it. Then Chingy had 7 years bad luck. Maybe that's why he is so short tempered.

I wanna know how is its screen quality comparing to galaxy tab 7?

and what are the disadvantages of not having an unlock bootloader ?

tnx
[Acer Iconia A500] sanaell:
I can compare a tomato and a steack ?

what the advantage to sit on my sofa ?
[Acer Iconia A500] Bec07:
Hard to tell. Glaxy tab 7 is a sub par product of a previous generation, doesn't come close to iconia in any way.

On the tabs 10.1 and 8.9 the screen quality is certainly better but you wouldn't notice without the tablets side to side.

The locked bootloader has been hacked so that point is irrelevant. It's purpose is to install custom roms.

The disadvantage of all other tablets over iconia is the lack of a full size USB port. Caring all kinds of proprietary adapters isn't exactly the ideal solution.
[Acer Iconia A500] moyinseadat:
tnx

I wanted to buy iconia, but the screen quality made me hesitate

I saw galaxy tab 7's screen before and it was so good

so I'm going to buy Iconia

tnx
[Acer Iconia A500] foxmeister:
I don't know where you have got that idea from, but it simply isn't true.

First of all, the GTab 7 has a very good IPS display that is better than the Iconia's display. That's not to disparage the Iconia's panel though.

Secondly, the GTab 7 is a far better media player than any of the current crop of Honeycomb tablets due to much broader codec and container support.

Thirdly, given the dearth of Honeycomb optimised applications, the fact that the GTab 7 doesn't have Honeycomb is not the disadvantage that it should be.

The GTab 7 is most definitely not a sub-par product, and in many ways it is still very current - there is no better 7" tablet on the market in my opinion, which is quite impressive given it is nearly a year old.

However, it tends to serve a different purpose than its larger brethren, so can't really be directly compared.

Dave
[Acer Iconia A500] internetpilot:
That might be true if this was an iPod where you're stuck with a stock video player, but this becomes a non-factor as soon as you install RockPlayer or MoboPlayer, which plays everything thrown at it. Does anyone really use the stock video player on any Android device? They're all just so limiting that I question why anyone would do that unless they have an iPod mentality and/or just don't know that there are superior 3rd-party video players available for free.

This will only improve with each passing day. Honeycomb is now the standard OS for tablets, just like Gingerbread is now the standard OS for phones. Anyone who would say that it's better to run an older version of an OS is likely someone who is stuck with a device that cannot upgrade.

They're really not comparable devices. They're a full year apart, significantly different size screens, and a huge OS version difference. With the Galaxy Tab being about the same price as the A500, unless you HAVE to have a smaller tablet or built-in 3G, there's really no reason to choose the Galaxy Tab at this point.

A better comparison would be between the A500 and a newer Galaxy Tab model, which is the comparison I made and the A500 won out (for me) for a variety of reasons, specifically price and feature set.
[Acer Iconia A500] foxmeister:
Sorry but no it doesn't - try some high profile 1080p/720p MKVs on *any* Tegra-2 Honeycomb tablet with Moboplayer/Rockplayer and compare the same to the 7" Galaxy Tab.

The problem is that it *isn't* improving with each passing day. Personally, I'd expected Honeycomb optimised applications to explode onto the scene, but frankly it hasn't happened. The majority of apps that I run on either tablet are all pre-Honeycomb. It will change, but it isn't changing as quickly as I'd hoped.

Honeycomb desperately needs more apps, because for the most part we are using upscaled "Phone" apps. This isn't as big an issue as it is/was for the iPad, since a well written Android app will scale properly, but it's not taking advantage of what Honeycomb has to offer.

I agree they are not comparable (I even said so myself), but that doesn't make the Galaxy Tab sub-par which is the point of my post. In some ways it is still superior to *any* Honeycomb tablet and that is a fact I'm afraid (mostly due to Tegra-2).

Yes, I agree that a better comparison is against the 10.1" Galaxy Tab, but that's not the point of this thread is it?

The OP was asking about the screen of the GTab 7 vs the Iconia, and frankly the GTab 7 does have a better screen than the Iconia! :)

FWIW - screenwise, it's:

Xoom < Iconia < Transformer < GTab 7 < GTab 10.1

Having said that, I would only consider the Xoom's screen to be actually "bad".

Regards,

Dave
[Acer Iconia A500] OrionBG:
I have both devices! Here is the simple comparison:

Display: Galaxy TAB (better picture quality, better warmer colors)

Codec support: Galaxy TAB (I've thrown everything but the kitchen sink and it plays it) Rock Player/MoboPlayer are good players but software rendering is NOT for 1080p!

But then again, I'm selling my TAB now and keeping the A500!
[Acer Iconia A500] moyinseadat:
tnx everyone

now I'm just confused

I want to buy Iconia but the only thing that makes me worry is the screen quality

in comparision vids I saw galaxy tab 10 is far better in this field

but USB 2 on this and dust and moisture under g tab 10 screen makes me choose this

I heard Iconia have a much better screen compare to Xoom

I wanna now those who have Iconia, is it noticable in real life usage? I mean the bad quality
[Acer Iconia A500] internetpilot:
Why would 1080p be necessary for a 7" screen? I'm finding 720p on my 10" A500 screen to typically be overkill and definitely not worth the file size required. There's a Law of Diminishing Returns here, and I'm pretty sure that 1080p on a 7" screen is just that. "Just because you can doesn't mean you should" also likely applies.

I guess that's why I haven't had an playback problems you mention, but I'm a pretty picky videophile when it comes to movies, and I've yet to be disappointed with 720p or less movies on the A500. I suspect I'm enjoying a lot more room on my SD card, too.
[Acer Iconia A500] foxmeister:
You misunderstand the point entirely - it's not that 1080p is necessary on a 7" screen, it's that if you have a large movie collection in 1080p, you want to be able to play them on all of your devices without having to re-encode. For some people, re-encoding simply isn't an option.

In the context of this discussion, it's only relevance is that an earlier poster said that the GTab 7" is a sub-par product that doesn't close to the Iconia in any way, which isn't true.

Regards,

Dave
[Acer Iconia A500] Bec07:
Sub-par and that it belongs to a previous generation.

Single-core CPUs don't belong in tablet space and Froyo or Gingerbread don't belong on tablets.

I've had the 7" for a while and I have an SGS, I know what I'm talking about.

While smaller screens will always look better and sharper, the processing power, the speed, the memory, the GPU are outdated.

The user experience and build quality don't come even close to Iconia and the 7" screen size is irrelevant.

I do, from all my heart, believe it's a sub-par and useless product and while getting it this time last year might not have been one's most inspired idea, getting one now is the worst idea or recommendation one could make.
[Acer Iconia A500] foxmeister:
Well, if we're going to play the "who's is bigger game".....

I've had Android phones since the T-Mo G1, followed by an Hero, 2 HTC Desire's, a Desire HD, and an HTC Sensation. I've had a cheapo KIRF tablet (which definitely was sub-par crap), a Toshiba AC-100, a Kogan Agora Internet TV Portal, a GTab 7" and a Honeycomb tablet, so I guess that I must know what I'm talking about too?? ;)

Interesting to note that whilst you have posted on the SGS forums, you've never posted on the GTab 7s. Perhaps you've not been keeping abreast with the development on the GTab 7, and thus can only really comment on the stock experience, but it is vastly improved with a Gingerbread ROM and a few tweaks here and there - which is something it shares in common with pretty much all Android devices.

The build quality of the GTab 7" is very good indeed - at least as good as the Iconia's IMO, and it *does* have a superior screen. Also, to say that a 7" screen size is irrelevant is pure nonsense - portability is crucial for some people. Irrelevant to you perhaps, but that isn't the same thing!

Given that there are hardly any Honeycomb applications, the GTab 7 runs practically all the same applications so if it is useless, surely all the HC tablets too? The GTab 7 can also run the so-called "Tegra-2" only apps like GOF2 very well indeed with CF3D, so clearly the GPU and processor are still very much up to scratch for the applications that are currently available!

There are plenty of reasons why the GTab 7 is still a good tablet - it's not a direct competitor to the 10.1 HC tablets though because it serves a different set of requirements.

All this is not to say that your opinion isn't any less (or more!) valid than mine, but that is all they are - opinions! I've merely presented a couple of areas where the GTab 7" is verifiably superior than the current crop of Honeycomb tablets.

Dave
[Acer Iconia A500] Bec07:
I'm going to go out on a limb and say you are to easy to please :p You've seen android so early that the current versions look awesome no matter what.

I only know how much it changed from 2.1 to 2.2 and the difference was huge!

As for GOF2 it was one of my assessment points. It's damn heavy on that cpu, it heats it up a lot, it drains the battery fast and has long loading times.

On tegra 2, it barely gets warm-ish and runs like a dream. I wouldn't want to catch 2012 single-cored.

As for honeycombs apps, only one so far didn't scale right for me, some startup app remover that kept staying in 800x480 but since it's more of an utility, doesn't bother me that much.

I don't like the 7" size because it's too small for documents. Before I tried out the tab 7" I was obsessed with a viliv x70 (win 7) and the dream of full office in the palm of my hand.

Now with Iconia I think 10 is a minimum, and this with dedicated apps.
[Acer Iconia A500] foxmeister:
You should've seen 1.6 (Donut) to 2.1 (Eclair) - makes the jump from 2.1 to 2.2 look quite small! :)

It's a case of horses for courses - I want a 7" tablet for when I travel for work (which is quite frequently these days) because it can comfortably fit in a jacket pocket, which means I can take it out and about without having to carry a bag.

For home use, a larger tablet is likely to be the better choice, which is why I have both! :)

I'd possibly be tempted by the Galaxy Tab 8.9 as a single device, but I think it's probably too large to be pocketed, and not that much smaller than a 10.1" tablet to make a different.

I was hoping to buy Iconia A100, but that seems to have dropped off Acer's radar, and there are alternatives (e.g the Huawei MediaPad, Viewsonic ViewPad 7x, and Asus Eee Pad Memo) that might come to the market first.
