Wait a long time until Htc firstly unlock bootloaders and then release further ota updates which incorporate sense 3 elements which they have said they'll do at some point.

But be prepared to be extremely patient.

Just go custom route..much easier.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Flubbe:
Hi out there!

Does anybody know, if there ist a change to buy AND play *.folio data on eee pad transformer running 3.1?

I got Adobe Air and Adobe Content Viewer running but cant google any folio file. Theres no APP on the market where magazines like "The Red Bulletin" or the "WIRED" can be bougth...

Perhaps one of you is creating such content in Adobe CS 5.5 and can share a example of the multimedia possibilities of this interactive content.

THANKS in advance,

Flubbe
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steve182:
Thinking about returning due to a lot of "creaks" on the tablet where the back meets the metal rim and also the leaking on the IPS screen on both the bottom and right side. I bought it from Best Buy maybe a month ago now. Think it would make more sense trying to go back to Best Buy or calling Asus directly?

Thanks
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krighton:
Best buy, you get 45 days if you're a silver member, 30 days otherwise. Do not go to Asus unless you are beyond the return period of BB
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steve182:
I am beyond 30 days now, ordered it around June 6.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dills2214:
I have the same question. Any way of getting an exchange somewhere without a reciept or is RMA the only hope?

Based on a lot of feedback, it sounds like RMA is really hit and miss. I dread shipping this thing to Asus RMA Center in Texas.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoTeC:
I was lucky I guess that my TF lost its screen 3 days before my 30 days were up at TigerDirect. I did have to drive down to Atlanta to get it swapped but I work down there so I just scheduled a work day and swapped out my TF on the way... New one is a B6, old one was a B5. Light leaks are worse but at least the screen works... LOL :rolleyes:

[HTC EVO 3D] toxicfumes22:
I was wanting to know if anyone can explain to me how to theme for the Evo 3D. I have not themed for a phone yet but I would like to start and to learn how. I have no problem reading a lot and doing a lot of testing and trial and error. I just would like to know if any themers can give me a head start on where I can begin. I have a lot of great ideas.

I am somewhat experienced in C++, and CAD programs as I am a Mechanical Engineer but if it's required to have a greater knowledge in those then it would be great to know more. At least I would enjoy learning it since I'd be doing something I enjoy. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Also I understand we can't apply full themes until we have s-off but it seems people have ROMs and Themes done already so I would like to take the opportunity to start working on my own as well since I am sure I will have to learn alot.
[HTC EVO 3D] Overstew:
Theming requires mostly graphics design. You're changing images inside the Framework-res.apk and Systemui.apk. Each phone runs differently, so this information may be slightly incorrect, but if you take a deodexed ROM, you will find inside the .zip, system/framework/framework-res.apk>res>Drawable-hdpi. This folder is where most of the changes will be. For individual apps, you open the app (via a file manager, like 7zip) and open res > drawable-hdpi for the images.

The hardest part (for me) are XML files, this is where the C++ knowledge will come in handy. This is for changing text colors and animations in the framework. Most of what you'll change though *should* be inside framework-res.apk and Systemui.apk.

Now, something new I found out is if you're running Sense, then you must modify the Rosie.apk that's included (I think.)
[HTC EVO 3D] toxicfumes22:
Thank you as that is very useful, but since this would be my first time actually messing with a phone like that. What program works best for extracting a rom and what should I use to pull the information from the rom.
[Motorola Droid X2] dragonzkiller:
Ok, right off the bat I want to say that I'm not an idiot when it comes to computers/technology so I don't want to be babied when I ask this. I am new to Android, but not new to Linux by any stretch of the imagination. I didn't get this phone because Verizon advertised it as being a good phone, but because I knew that my first Android should be a beast.

Off of my rant, I was doing some research and I am willing to do some dev work or work with devs on on CM7 for the X2 directly or indirectly.

That being said, I know that CM7 is a ROM, but I was reading about kernels for CM7. Is this REALLY necessary? I know with a locked bootloader we can't do kernels yet, but do we need it? And if not? Where do I begin if I wanted to help?

I've done a decent (not too much, but decent) amount of work in this area (I've built more custom Linux kernels than fingers and toes on my whole family). But locked bootloaders and porting entire OS's is a bit over my head.

Long question short, are the CM kernels needed? or just recommended? and if not, where do you think we really need to begin?

(Sorry for the length)

Thank You, everyone.

I have root and got it easily...but have been spending the last 4 months following every step-by-step guide (including many on this forum) I could find to flash a new ROM let alone a new recovery...but nothing works. I've created Gold Cards, installed SDK, tried Eclipse, etc. all to no avail. You wouldn't believe how maddening it is to read "Hey look. I just upgraded my HTC Magic (with the same credentials by the way) to Froyo...in only 10 minutes!)

In any event, I have just about given up on doing it myself so I thought I would write to see if anyone knows of a technical service where I can send my device to have it upgraded professionally. If it is in the general vicinity of Denver (CO)...that would be cool but at this point I'm willing to mail it. PLEASE HELP! The phone works just fine...but it is sooooooooo limited by Cupcake!

Thank you in advance for saving my hair,

I think I can...

Hello Mumilover,

First of all, thank you for sticking with me! I'm feeling more hopeful and making progress. However I've run into a wall:

After putting SFM_1.2_Europe_1.zip (should it be *.zip or extracted?) on my sdcard and then booting into Recovery, I get a screen giving me a list of choices (backup, wipe, etc). The first time I choose Backup by pressing the trackball which took me to another screen with more choices. And here's where I run into a problem: No matter which item I choose, the screen freezes - the only way to get out of it is to remove the battery.

So I tried a second time, this time choosing Wipe. The device immediately rebooted...but nothing was wiped. Maybe I'm not understanding, but shouldn't a Wipe remove everything (similar to a Factory Reset)? I don't want to proceed with flashing the new ROM if the device has not been properly prepared.

So how should I proceed? Will a Factory Reset suffice? Or is there something wrong with my Recovery that needs to be fixed before I can continue?

Laurie

7" infoTMIC powered tablets

Welcome and it sounds like you got a deal. The 7" infoTMIC powered tablets have some potential an can leverage a lot of the effort done for the 10" tablet but be warned burning the incorrect update file will brick the tablet.

As of yet a custom ROM does not exist. The manufacture/supplier provided STOCK updates are described in the infoTMIC Hardware ID's "hwver" and updates (*.ius) thread. Can you identify the Hardware ID "hwver" of your tablet and post the information?

Specific to the Airis , Model - One Pad 700 this ONEP AIRIS 700 forum, translated from Spanish, has several ongoing discussions and a recently released 2.2 update. Similar 7" infoTMIC powered tablets the Sylvania SYNET7LP Work-In-Progress thread discusses some of the progress with that device and the [Q] Disgo Tablet 6000 thread has more discussions.

The Linux Kernel Source Code for 7" infoTMIC Sylvania tablet was released and an effort to compile some modifications is underway.

A Custom Sylvania ROM development Work In Progress thread has successfully created a utility to modify the update file structure. Now work has begun to create a custom images.

Please join in any or all of the discussions for further information.

[Nexus S General] TommyNY:
Hi all,

I'm currently using my EVO (with Cyanogenmod) but pondering an upgrade to the Nexus S 4G. Has anyone else made that leap and, if so, what are your thoughts and experiences? Thanks.
[Nexus S General] tailsthecat3:
I havent looked back. Its super fast, easy to manipulate, love my SGX540, 4"screen size is where its at in my opinion. Also, the thing I really found amazing was the huge difference in the displays but 16m colors should be the minimum. Although I enjoyed my Evo when I had it...for about six months. Ill be sticking with the dev phones from now on. Unless they reach a ridiculous screen size.
[Nexus S General] superm1:
I made the jump and pondered for a good month going back too.

Overall i'm glad I did and stuck with it. The NS4G feels really light in the hand coming from the evo which is refreshing. A lot of the weird bugs with parts of the OS stopping working after a few days usage I was finding in CM7 on the evo aren't present on the NS4G.

Battery life outdoes the evo for me, even with heavier usage on the NS4G.

My only two complaints:

* The speakerphone isn't very loud. There is a kernel out there to work on fixing this, but i'm holding out for the OTA to see if it helps

* The wifi signal is much weaker than the evo in my house. Hoping the OTA helps there too.
[Nexus S General] jdh10475:
Yeah I used the EVO since last August than I got the NS4G right around launch day.

I don't think I could have a non-developer phone any more. You don't have to deal with any carrier garbage you get to make the phone how you want not how someone else wants it.

Also I rooted both phones as soon as I got them and rooting the NS is vary easy. I would say take the jump if you like pure Google and modding your phone.
[Nexus S General] matt2053:
I loved my Evo very much.... or at least I thought I did until I met my sexy nexy. I have not missed my Evo for one instant. Srsly.

I have had two nexus phones and each have had problems. I keep switching back to the Evo with good reason. Just sold my second Nexus on ebay. Love the size and weight of the nexus but that's about it. Radio and battery problems galore.
[Nexus S General] scoobdude:
I have only had mine for about 4 days but will give you some comparisons since the evo is still fresh in my mind.

Size: NS is much easier to hold. especially when trying to hold in one handed in portrait. The weight and curves make it feel like it fits in your hand. I always had a problem with the weight and sharp angle of the back wearing into my pinky as that is the finger that would hold all the weight at the bottom in portrait.

Landscape is easier to hold as well... but still don't try to take pictures one handed.

Screen: Colors are much more saturated. I like this. screen is easier to read during the day and very few fingerprints. However whites are a little on the yellow side (warmer as i like my color palette cooler). In low light the screen is just the right brigtness. My wife does not get bothered as much when i leave it on auto brightness at night. That being said there are jagged edges on lines and borders and text if you read with it close. Most of the time you will not notice though. Blacks are AWESOME. Put a black background with white text

camera: Pictures are much better than the evo. options are highly limited though but work well enough for me. have not tried much with the video camera.

UI: I used cm7 with LP on my evo. I put LP on the NS as well. However after a day or so I took it off. I am running stock and have found no reason to root (except that i miss the notification bar widgets but the 4G one does not work yet anyway).....yet. I feel the stock android works and is kind of what CM was trying to achieve anyway + any bonuses they might have.

wifi and 4G: Both work about the same for me. I have seen the NS get further outside then the EVO on occasion so take that for what you will. But i have also seen drop outs on wifi on the NS for no reason.

Battery: battery seems to be better on the NS. I work nights so that throws off any calibration I can do. Will have a better answer next week.

Other: I traded in my evo and got the NS for 150... then got the 50 bucks back the next day for the price drop. so considering i paid 200 for my evo.. i think trading in was a good deal. (was gonna give it to my daughter but she needs to wait awhile)

feel free to ask if you have any other questions and remember yuo do have 30 days just in case something else comes out that may make you question your decision ;)

EVO 4G to EVO 3D to NS4G here.

This is day one with the Nexus and other than the piss poor 4G speed and signal issues I love it (hopefully fixed soon)! I hate Sense.

I won't be able to say no to the SGS2 though. That's what I'm holding my upgrade for.
[Nexus S General] mreniigma:
i dropped the evo because htc sense interferes with bluetooth performance in my new vechicle.

honestly, i only feel that the nexus has a better camera.

i miss sense so much. the widgets were a big deal to me. and beyond that, there were little software tweaks such as the smart dialer which i couldn't believe were not stock android. also, the nexus is abysmal with signal strength and 4g performance. it also just feels cheap and plastic-y.

i dont believe in modding since non of the roms are totally effective with all features working properly. i hope the nexus update will at least make the phone a bit more bearable. otherwise i will wait patiently for the sprint iphone.
[Nexus S General] crzycrkr:
I went from a rooted EVO to a NS4G last week after being disappointed with the 3d. Love it. It's a huge upgrade over the 4G. Hell, it's as fast or faster than the dual core 3d in a lot of instances. You won't be disappointed
[Nexus S General] TommyNY:
Thanks

Thanks all around for everyone that gave feedback. The NS4G's price seems unbeatable right now and everyone's feedback makes me feel like I'd be happy with the upgrade.

I use CM7 for the close-to-stock feel, so having an actual clean, stock UI would make me happy. The main gripes people mentioned wouldn't be features I'd care enough to miss (kickstand, for instance).

Thanks again to all and keep the feedback coming.
[Nexus S General] Zorachus:
I am looking at getting the Nexus-S and i have the EVO-3D, and not so happy with it, with the beastly spec's the 3VO is not near as fast and smooth as I expected.

My Wife has the N-S 4G, and I play with it all the time, I dare say it is faster/smoother than my EVO-3D. Plus the screen is beautiful, and 4" is the perfect size, plus it feels great in the hand, very lightweight and fits in pockets easily.

If coming from the EVO 4G, I highly recommend the Nexus-S 4G.
