Haha thanks man, I guess rooting is inevitable after a while. :p

And I saw these two phones and they're perfect, but I can't afford them as i'm using my money for a lot of things, it'll be a bit hard so i'm asking for some cheaper phones

Thanks man, I wanted to buy the Incredible last year lol but it wasn't available in my country. :D . Thanks for the recommendation man

Thanks man. But i'm wondering is the Galaxy S still a strong device after all this time ?

The main competition now is between Samsung Galaxy S and HTC Desire S, I tried both these phones and even with that i'm confused lol. Who's better with the things that I care about ? I already know Galaxy S has a better screen but I mean besides that, and thank you all very much
[General Questions and Answers] xda<3:
Yeah, I would go with the Evo 3d. Really a great phone. But might be too pricy?
[General Questions and Answers] MuayThaiFighter8:
Eventually it's up to you. But have in mind that the Galaxy S was chosen as the best smartphone of 2010 and sold a bit over 10 000 000 devices globally..

If you would be buying this device and would need help about anything related just PM ;)

Okay, thanks man. :D
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kirdroid:
I know this nothing related to the tab..but i have an upcoming road trip and was looking to purchase and download some movies for watching it on the go.

I'm looking for legal sites of course :D .. where do you guys normally buy movies for download? I usually use Netflix so don't have much info on good sites to buy movies from. Also, anything in particular i have to look out for in terms of movie format?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lollee76:
I don't know about a good site for buying movies besides amazon but figured I'd offer what I use. I have a subscription to playon which has an android app. This allows me to watch media from hulu, netflix, and my server. It works with a lot of devices and has tons of options. Check out their website (playon.tv), they offer a trial so you can check it out.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mtda80:
I have never had any problems with Samsung's media hub, but beyond that I always use netflix as well...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tivo7:
Legal site I don't know much about *cough* but I think Netflix is still your best bet, unless you want to stream live but that would require internet connection.

wtf dude...what a waste of a post..
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DC_MTP:
I am actually looking for software to watch live TV for when I am away from home - i often miss my NFL team game because they are not televising in another state.

Any recommendations?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stardate Tab 10.1:
Get NFL Sunday Ticket on Directv. Once you are a subscriber download the Sunday ticket app for free and watch any game you want. Without Sunday Ticket I believe your out of luck.

Sent from xda premium app
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stormglove:
Actually this year to use the app it is like 50$ more if you are a subscriber, but either way if you aren't subscribed to sunday ticket you can pay the 50$ and still use the app. Sucks for you're of us with the actual subscription since it used to be included but great for those who don't want the full subscription and just the app use.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alsatea:

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DC_MTP:
Thanks but maybe I can find a cheaper alternative - my in laws are from new jersey and are huge Dallas cowboys fans (don't know how that happen) but they only televise a few games out of the whole season the rest all just local teams(jets/giants/philly)

I was thinking that there might be software where they can watch tv online by maybe tuning in to a local channel from Dallas. Just looking into a possible alternative might be cheaper than $50 subscription to direct tv....then again it might be the only option. also they do not own any tablets so will the nfl sunday ticket for $50 work on their home PC?

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stormglove:
As far as I know it will, The 50$ (again not 100% sure that was the price but close) should work on any mobile device as well as PC's. I used to use it on my laptop but like I said I didn't pay the extra money this year for it so I'm not sure I just know it used to. Sorry wish I could be more help.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rebelgecko:
Hi, I just got my Nook Color a few days ago and am loving it! However, I got it as a refurb, so I'm paranoid about it having any issues. I noticed that sometimes when I hold it a certain way (with my thumb on the bezel while the nook is upside down) I get orange ripples in the screen (kind of like what happens when you poke a monitor). Is this normal?

Also, does the screen only do multitouch with 2 fingers max?

Thanks!
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] framitz:
I've noticed that if the light from my LCD monitor hits the Nook screen at certain angles I see colored bands on the Nook screen.

Not sure about the orange ripples unless it's caused by polarized light like from an LCD.

As far as I know only two fingers work for multitouch.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kat3k:
Sorry slightly off track, but what is multitouch and how does it work? Thanks.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nook-color:
Controlling your device screen with more than 1 finger at a time

i.e. pinch to zoom - has multi touch x 2

Nook Color is limited to 2 touch points - The latest design that I'm aware of - on most Tegra 2 tablets - is 10 points of contact to control the screen ( there's a microprocessor that gives the screen functionality ). That's really only needed for gaming though - as far as I can guestimate.

Games like fruit ninja - or 2 player games where a 2 people might be using the tablet at once to control the screen can use more than 2 points of contact to enhance gameplay.

[Samsung Mesmerize] ChromWolf:
You should just use H57 man. Totally. >_>

I'M KIDDING! I couldn't resist. XD

I.. er.. don't actually have anything useful to add (whose namesake I am apparently channeling). Sorry. XD
[Samsung Mesmerize] tweakymattman:
H57 is just ugly if you ask me. And the themes aren't as refined. It also is incredibly buggy on my phone. Some one really needs to port the com rom over. It will always be a better rom. Just because there r so many more experienced developers working on it.
[Samsung Mesmerize] akellar:
Wow. So you want to bash about the only dev actively doing anything for the Mes alone and then ask for someone (which would basically be the same dev if you want it done well) to provide something for you? Interesting.
[Samsung Mesmerize] ChromWolf:
First off, I should really apologize for the first joke post, it didn't actually contribute anything to help you, and I know forums in general tend to frown on that. It was one of those "I couldn't help myself" moments. I apologize.

That said.... Aesthetic opinions notwithstanding, it may interest you to know that the dev who created H57 has chosen to leave XDA in favor of a better moderated, more appreciative forum that understands his work is from his own free time, unpaid, just a HUGE favor he's doing by even posting it, let alone supporting it. You add fuel to the flame with a post such as this.

Secondly, I do need to be perfectly honest: These ROMs offer exactly the same thing. In fact, COM ROM is based off an older build for SCH-I500 phones, while H57 is based off EC10 I believe (not sure if it was redone to EE19 or not). Apart from that, they're offering all the same mods and addons--like, if you look at the list for both, they're more or less identical. It's just that one's natively built for our phones, and the other is not. I'm not trying to say that you shouldn't want to use Com Rom, just that saying H57 is entirely inferior is unfounded and just plain wrong.

Were this another ROM, I'd say you could just as easily ask for help from the developer to get their ROM working on your phone; they're here to help for someone who can humbly ask for help and not be all "your ROM sucks compared to this one--how do I get yours working?" (and that's kinda putting words in your mouth, I know), but as I say, the developer in question has left XDA for what more and more appears to me as a better forum.

I don't want to post yet again and not offer anything helpful, so----the other alternative is to run it with a Mes radio, and learn how to port it over to the Mesmerize yourself. It's work, yes, but it'll put you on the other side of the developer fence so you can see how it goes. You may or may not be able to get help from the Fascinate or Mesmerize channels on Freenode on IRC for this.
[Samsung Mesmerize] tweakymattman:
I was not trying to flame. I greatly respect all developers. I was just saying what works for me. And I have dabbled in devopement and porting. I just don't have the time or resources. I am simply looking for answers and advice. I do thank you for that. Again I appologize to seem like flaming but I simply like the group effort and com rom better on my phone.
[Samsung Mesmerize] tweakymattman:
Im not bashing. Verizon is a much bigger carrier. There for better dev support for roms. There for more roms. Which work on our phone. Sorry if I offended. Im just a kid who likes to mod his phone.

Viewsonic Gtablet Specific Binaries & Drivers
​

For everyone who may have been waiting for this I present to you the proper Proprietary Viewsonic Gtablet Binaries & Drivers according to Cyanogen Mods Tutorial of Compiling Gingerbread Rom which also discusses how to pull the Proprietary Drivers and Binaries from a Malata smb_a1002 Device which is a Viewsonic Gtablet specifically.

To all who want to test with these Binaries and Drivers before testing with these please understand that these are the Binaries and Drivers the Viewsonic Gtablet Stock ROM uses. When using these specific Binaries and Drivers understand that these files may already exist and that replacing just one of these can disrupt the way a current ROM may be running. This can be caused for a number of reasons...

1. When replacing the libraries and binaries with these understand the alot of these specific files are tied together to make the Gtablet work the way it does, so in essence replacing one of these libraries or binaries with one on another ROM can cause the ROM itself to look for the other libraries and binary files that are specifically in this package.

2. You may get away with mixing and mingling these files but it's a hard and time consuming process to debug which ones can and can't work with other vendors binaries and libraries but this is how the work must be done

3. If there is a file missing do not blame me this is what I know according to Cyanogen MODs Wiki. If you wan to view there tutorial go to there website, and look through there WIKI.

Thanks for the work LBS
[G Tablet Android Development] ramerco:
Critisism and words of caution are equally as important as praise.

Be wary of of folks trumpetting the quality of their product to increase profit while doing nothing to provide evidence to support those claims.

That said, what TnT build do these files come from and are they different than what is used in CM7 or some of the AOSP based projects ?
[G Tablet Android Development] mike_ekim:
In my eyes the only major issues with HC are:

1 camera support (possibly fixed with these files)

2 hardware acceleration (probaly not fixed with these files)

So, one of the two major HC drawbacks might be fixed. IMO camera support isn't as importent as hardware acceleration, but it's still on my 'must have' list. Who cares if camera support came from TapNCrap, as long as it works?

All of the HC ROMS are on par with each other (pre-packaged apps and launchers aside) so if one HC ROM gets camera working then that would be the better ROM IMO.
[G Tablet Android Development] mike_ekim:
Excellent question, I'd like to know the answer too. Does it come from a ROM with keyboard/mouse support, for example?
[G Tablet Android Development] mike_ekim:
I went to his site and I saw no ads, no banners, no links for a donation or links to other products. MAybe those links were there but they were not prominent, so it hardly looks like an ad scheme, it's not like thousands of people will flock to his site to download files and be drawn into his tangled web of crafty salesmanship. How many people are developing ROMs for the gTab?

Why does it matter if it's his site vs another site?

Well said.
[G Tablet Android Development] roebeet:
The vast majority of the responses in this thread are pretty shameful. And I think the most a moderator could do is edit some of these comments (which, imo, they should).

Some advise - on occasion I've lost my cool and written things I later regretted. I suggest that some of you use the edit button, clean up the hateful comments and maybe drop in a "I apologize" retraction while you're at it.

And @LBS, keep in mind that most people do appreciate what you do (myself included). I know how hard it is to make ROM's, and support them, but there will always be a few bad apples. I have pulled back from here (and Slatedroid and TR) this summer as I decompress a bit, so I'm not sure if there's some history outside of this thread which created this tension. But from my vantage point, all LBS is doing is using his own web site to better control how he disseminates information. How is that any different than what goodintentions is doing, for example? Isn't the end goal to help users make the most of their GTAB?
[G Tablet Android Development] Mantara:
Lol! WHAT A TWIST! Well done on the robot chicken reference :p
[G Tablet Android Development] edirector:
Thank you, Roebeet I have been tirelessly supporting LBS's effort. It was starting to feel like a full time job. I am glad you jumped in. It is bad when conversation is not about the rom but gets more personal in nature. People were coming at me because I expressed my like of his work which is pretty darn good at that. But you know I am a fan of your work too. You pioneered the HC rom industry for G Tab, so you know we appreciate you. I trbardelljr I hope I got his name right of Flashback is doing an incredible job as well even though I haven't tried his rom yet. My problem is I got hooked on illuminate because it is that good.

I noticed some have gotten into the dual rom running and I might try that so I can check out different roms at the same time, too.

Enjoy your down time. We look forward to your return.
[G Tablet Android Development] macbroom:
I have edited some of my posts in the interest of cleaning up some of the residual mess in this thread. I also suggest that some others do the same so we can get back on track.

I hope that you are enjoying your break and time with your family and we all hope that you will return in the near future. You were the main reason that I purchased my Gtab.

P.S. You may also want to edit your last post after catching up on the other threads.
[G Tablet Android Development] nunjabusiness:
I just went back and re-read the posts I have made in the past couple of weeks here and stand behind every one 100%.

Now ... on the OTHER forum I (and others) may have gotten a little bit too zealous in some posts but ultimately, the mods agreed with us and locked the threads.

To be completely fair though, none of those posts got really combative until "autistic" started it.
[G Tablet Android Development] edirector:
Hey,

Folks, there is a new version of illuminate that was released yesterday that is outstanding... to spin off on from the fact we are on LBS's thread. While many of us may not know how to use these "binaries and drivers" but LBS and other devs do and they are more then likely included somewhere in his updated rom. It is a pretty incredible HC rom.

The speed on it is astounding with no hick-ups. I spent last night driving it hard just to see what it could do and matching the differences in his previous releases. It is pretty incredible. Loads multimedia files...pics, videos and music like they are text.
[G Tablet Android Development] nunjabusiness:
Update from the LBS kernel thread

Hmmm, deja vu anyone?
[G Tablet Android Development] roebeet:
I had mentioned that I wasn't sure if there was a history, but I suspected that there might be as these things usually are a slow boil. Since I've been out-of-the-loop, if there were other threads I hadn't seen them, at least not yet.

Honestly, I haven't delved into these other HC ROMs recently, so I don't know what's in them. So I can't base an opinion unless I ripped them apart -- the last one I did open up was Flashback, so I know that tlbardelljr had some unique stuff in the framework.

The point was that people need to be careful as these things can be taken out of context if they don't know the history (if there is a history). I know this from personal experience, unfortunately.

Anyone have any experience with these Power-Skin cases.

Was wondering if it had a built in screen protector like an otterbox does, and how well it actually works. Looks like a good case, but was hoping someone could give some actual feedback before shelling out the 50 bucks for one.

Thanks

I just ordered one. I got $5 off by using the code POWERUP2
[Thunderbolt Accessories] docabe:
initial review

I just received the Powerskin. I ordered from Amazon and got it today.

When it is done charging and I have used it for 24+ hours, I will post some results on battery life.

It is nicely designed, but it is bulky. I have large hands, and it feels big in them. It feels much larger than the HTC extended battery.

The case is a smooth rubber silicone. The bolt's power button is covered but completely recessed. It is not difficult to press, but is difficult to locate blind. Poor design here.

I took some pictures and there is no shadowing effect from the case.

There are two ports on either end where the kickstand is. I assume this is for sound to escape. There was a noticeable drop-off in volume when the bolt was in the case. If you use the loudspeaker often, this might be an issue.

I immediately missed the kickstand, as I use it often.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

[Thunderbolt Accessories] snicklet:

[Thunderbolt Accessories] xXJay_RXx:
Oh hell no that's too bulky. For that bulkiness just get the 4500mAh battery. Just cost a little more. Extended battery is good enough :)
[Thunderbolt Accessories] docabe:
After 3 days of use, I can say the battery life is good, but equivalent to the HTC extended battery.

It is going back. I will stick with the extended battery.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] calgeek:
I agree. I like the convenience of being able to take it off if I want to just carry the slim phone. But it's not worth the fact that the skin makes the phone look and feel huge. I'll deal with having to keep around the spare battery and cover if I want to swap out for the thinner phone.
