Hey fellow Defy users! Now I was looking around and couldn't find a benchmarking thread in our Defy forums. Now I know that benchmarking scores have little to do with real world experience but I like seeing what people running different roms and clock speeds are pulling. Ill go first =) happy posting and benchmarking!

Any one can suggest a good incar mount for the TF101 ?

Also is there any app for gps (like tomtom) for the tf101, as i have read there does not seems to have any one made specificaly for the tf101 or any other tablet anyway ?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] libal:
as i know, there is no gps aplication for the transformer ,because of the rasolution. But you can lnstall a software with the best rasolution, that there is,i think 800x480 and you will see the map only on a part of the screen...

For example i use IGO my way...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] michelhuy:
I have been re-using my old EEEpc 701 car mount for my Transformer:

http://www.ultimate-netbook.com/inf...h-7-inches-to-13-inches-ultimate-netbook.html

Works great and fits fine.

There are SEVERAL gps software solutions that not only work on the Transformer, but take advantage of the full resolution. I don't know why people think there aren't any for tablets?

The one I use: Copilot Live Premium (Europe). I've been driving all over the South of France and back to Belgium just last week. It's great if you can keep the reflections to a minimum.

Google navigation works great, if you have a portable wireless hotspot (ex: mifi), or if you download the itinerary before going, or if you tether it to your phone. I tried all of these successfully.

OsmAnd+, NavDroyd, will work at full resolution.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] berbecverde:
Both Sygic and Navigon are optimized(fullscreen) for Honeycomb.:)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] rilot:
Navigon is marked as incompatible with the TF101 on the market. Last time I tried it, there was no way to get the menus up on HC. Has there been an update that fixes this?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] michelhuy:
Sygic is a great product but does NOT work on the transformer - it works only on 2.x. I have it on my phone. Compatible devices: http://www.sygic.com/en/android:compatible-devices

I don't see a single android 3.x device on there.

There was a thread about Navigon a while back: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1079369
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Aymara:
For first tests the free Navid might be worth a try. I myself used MapDroid and Google Navigation for first tests.

Because MapDroid only shows your position and has no rooting cababilities, I'm searching for a nice offline navigation app for both my TF and SGS2.

How satisfied are people with NavDroid? Should I invest more?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] michelhuy:
I've purchased NavDroyd in anticipation of having to travel in several countries in Asia, where my normal GPS navigation software won't work for lack of maps or licenses. I haven't tested it on the road, but I have played around with it from my couch. :)

There are several problems using Navdroyd, but to its credit, it's the maps that are mostly the problem - not the software. The maps themselves come from the wonderful Openstreet map project, a collaborative wiki style world map that anyone can use and contribute to.

Main problem: in non Western countries, leave the big city centers, and you might as well ask the locals for your way - the maps are sometimes very incomplete. A lot of the data is contributed by individuals that have uploaded their GPS tracks on the site and have themselves typed the street or city names. Again, not NavDroyd's fault.

Osmand, Osmand+, Mapdroyd, Osmdroid and so on - all use the free maps from the Open Street Map project.

Quite frankly, I think I will most likely stick to Google Maps when in remote places. It won't offer navigation, but with the ability to download a 10 km radius map, and having studied the maps and the sites/itineraries I'm going to use, it should be more than enough.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] kilgroetrout:
**Sygic does work on the transformer.

I was looking for a GPS app that works well offline, with good route adjustment, and this is the best I've used. NavDroyd took a while to get the maps and then couldn't find a GPS signal, so I moved on and didn't really test the product. Copilot looks good, but the USA map pack was over a gig, and I only wanted one state. It's possible you can choose individual states, but I didn't get far enough to determine this.

Sygic, for me , works perfectly. Can pick which states you want to download. I'm pretty sure they even use TomTom maps. You get two apps, one to download the maps and the GPS app itself. Lots of choices for voices (U.K, Australian, American English's in male or female, as well as many languages). The UI could possibly be better, and in the menus the very bottom of the screen is cut off, but half of the buttons (usually back or okay) still show so there's no problem. By this I mean only the lower portion is cut off, not half are missing, if that makes more sense. The maps are great, though sometimes cluttered with gas stations or other useful landmarks (these can be turned off). During navigation your MPH (or whatever unit you choose) is on screen, with ETA, time until next navigational action (exit, turn, etc.) and even the speed limit. The voice gives warnings usuall at 1 mile prior, 2/3 and then gets almost annoying so you don't miss the turn (probably adjustable?).

I'm probably forgetting some stuff, but this is exactly what I was looking for. Never have to touch it so I just set it in the passenger seat and turn up the volume. Might not be the best out there, but I don't have any complaints so I stopped looking.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] berbecverde:
Sygic,Navigon,Copilot all work just fine in full screen(menus and everything) on the Transformer.

I know this because i tried all of them.:) Do not know about other apps but these work like they should.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] michelhuy:
I'm interested - how do you install sygic on the TF? Is it the official version?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] kilgroetrout:
To be honest, I started just downloading the apps offline after the first two, as I wasn't hopeful and wanted to test them first. I like to tell myself I'll buy the real version, but who knows.

It's possible that it wouldn't allow you to purchase from the market since it's not officially compatible, but I do not know. In any case side loading the newest version is what I did. Not sure if it was a cracked apk or not. Also can't remember if I had to sign up for an account, but downloading maps and everything worked fine after installation (and was free).
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ryan stewart:
Google Navigation is pretty good. If youre in the car just use the phone as a mobile hot spot. You have a lighter, get a car charger plug for the phone so it doesnt die and use it all of the way.

Im looking forward do doing something of the like while driving up to visit my grandparents in the near future. Road tripping with internet, its the future!
[HTC Sensation] mychal:
I've had mine for nearly a week. I'm pretty sure I'm going to keep it and finally ditch the Grand Old HD2. I've managed to get many of my questions about this phone answered here over the last few days, but here are some I'm not convinced I know the answer to...perhaps someone can help:

- Can I adjust the number of rows/columns on Sense screens? I'd been using HyperDroid CM7 on my HD2 for a while, and seeing, like, 4 icons on the entire Sensation screen is corny/cartoony. :) I'd like to get more stuff squashed onto each screen.

- Can I add/remove Sense home screens? There are 7. I'd like to change that.

- Can I change or add more buttons to bottom or home screen? I see, from left to right, the apps, phone, and personalize buttons. I'd love to dump the personalize button, shrink the phone button, and add several more.

- I'm pretty sure many of the things I want to do are not possible with just an out of the box T-Mo Sensation and HTC Sense...so, are there apps that lets me do any of these things?

- Can I adjust when backlight goes off? I seem to be able to only adjust the amount of time the entire screen stays on.

- Auto-brightness is wacky. I'll just be sitting somewhere, in what seems like perfectly level/stable lighting conditions, and the screen just arbitrarily dims and brightens every few seconds.

- How do I get rid of that irritating page-by-page scrolling of apps list? I'd like one long, smooth-scrolling list. And is there a way to have a favorite apps list, other than placing them on the home screens?

- How do I turn off the dial/key press sounds when I'm dialing a phone number?

- I get a lot of static when I use my BT headset with the T-Mobile silicone case on the phone. If I take the phone out of the case, the call is much clearer. Any way to otherwise compensate (so I don't have to take the case off all the time)?

Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] jelliottz:
The quick answer to every question right now is no. The slightly longer answer is yes, but you will need to install a custom launcher: Launcher Pro or ADW come to mind first. They won't get rid of Sense and will actually use up more memory, but what you want will be accomplished. The really long answer is no, but soon. Most of what you want to change are things built into the HTC Rom. S-Off is supposedly coming soon. The great devs of the forum are hard at work. Once they do that, the bootloader will be unlocked, the cooks will do what they do, and we will begin to see custom Roms. Then you will have your removed bloatware, customizable anything, different launchers, stock-Sense lite-Sense full-CM7-MIUI-or anything else you can think of Roms.

The day is coming. We will have a true superphone any day now.

Best wishes.
[HTC Sensation] mychal:
Figgered that much. Any experiences with my BT/static or flickering backlight issues?
[HTC Sensation] jelliottz:
Nope. My has worked perfect. Closest thing I have to a problem is it gets a little toasty when tethering and charging simultaneously.
[HTC Sensation] marduk79:
for the backlight off thing go to settings->brightness and uncheck the box next to automatic brightness and adjust the slider to your liking

To take off the sound while dialing go to settings->sound and uncheck the box that says Audible touch tones

hope it helps
[HTC Sensation] mychal:
Thanks for the sound setting info. I know about the automatic brightness setting. Turning off doesn't fix the fact that automatic brightness doesn't seem to work. :)
[HTC Sensation] mychal:
Any idea how to, when using the Mail application, to move to Next or Previous messages? No swiping motion I'm trying is working, and the best I can find is Settings and then the arrow keys. It'd be much easier if there was a button or swipe right on the message screen itself.
[HTC Sensation] jwiley904:
Hey I want to know something. Is there a difference between the Tmobile version and the Unlock sensation
[HTC Sensation] DiZzle.:
You mean the unbranded one. The t-mobile version has bloatware on it, the rest is the same.
[HTC Sensation] cjacks9:
I have the same question. Also, I can only see the most recent emails on my inbox. I guess I am missing a setting somewhere to be able to sync or view more messages.
[HTC Sensation] deliriousbb:
Actually, I believe the internal portion of the antenna is different too. The Tmo Sensation have 4 internal contacts areas for antenna and the international unlock one has 3. People were claiming that to be the problem with the death grip reception issue. Idk if the newer unlocked versions have changed yet. Correct me if I'm wrong.
[HTC Sensation] Michael_Mcr:
I have moved across from the HD2 also and i find it irritating that i cant set both backlight off and power off as separate items.

Had the HD2 set that the backlight went off quite quickly to save juice, but it was set to not power down for one minute after that so just a quick screen press would bring it back up.

the Sensation powers down exactly 8 seconds after the screen dims and there is no setting to change that period !!
[HTC Sensation] piimp:
Tmobile has "4g" while the unbranded is 3g I believe
[HTC Sensation] mychal:
I don't have to reboot too often, but when I do, I usually get a "Set current time" pop-up message stating "Unable to detect your current time zone. Tab below to select a city." Then is has a menu with various time zones in it. I select Eastern Time, and click Done. But why does this keep coming up?

All the threads I see here and elsewhere on the internet (yes, I cheat on XDA) seem to assume the network is not providing the time information, so we need to uncheck the automatic time update setting. But why should I have to uncheck this? And how will that impact me when I go to another time zone?

Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] satani:
you can somehow:

i used the "more icons widget" it lets you add 4 icons in a place of usually one.

So the 3x1 icons would consist of 11 small icons (+ 1 settings button) available from 1x2 to 1x4 and inverse. Works great on this screen

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.reeyees.moreiconswidget

it costs a bit, but is worth it!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Uggo:
What I want to do:

Fully delete my personal data and go back to relative square one, preferably with stock 2.3.4.

So what's wrong?

I can't wipe data. I try through the privacy/factory reset route and through cwm and both ways it doesn't work.

I think the problem started after I tried the Ninja rom. I remember being surprised that it didn't wipe data going into it.

I even tried to format the data folder through the storage menu in cwm. It gave an error and wouldn't do it.

Any ideas?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Uggo:
Sorta fixed

I sorta fixed the problem. In case someone else has the same issue, here's what I did...

I RSDlite flashed the 2.3.4 file found here.

From there I used the factory reset from the privacy menu and all was right in the world again.

Of course, I've got to re-root and my recovery menu isn't working right, but I'm guessing I'll just need to re-install them from scratch.

but when i installed Rom Manager, and try to back up, they asked me to do ClockWorkMod Recovery and obviously there is no LG Optimus Black option.

There is post about installing LP Sense 3.0 on LG 2x

but i cannot boot into ClockWorkMod Recovery.

im a novice and dun know much about how to install rom, just know how to root and do some easy tricks.

Any help? Thanks?
[LG Optimus Black] lesp4ul:
Cwm recovery for black. But don't use rom manager to reboot to recovery, use "anreboot".

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1098083

Yeah I think it's possible.
[LG Optimus Black] benhotw:
Do you think it will brick my phone if i try to install LP Sense on my LG Black?
[LG Optimus Black] lesp4ul:
yes i guess you'll brick your phone if you flash non black rom. because the rom is built based on LG P990 rom.
[LG Optimus Black] antonio1475:
99% sure it won't work. It is not a ROM, it's a theme involving a lot of packages and modified files. You can try, but it will probably brick, at least, the ROM.

I can't tell if you will be able to recover the phone or not. Probably yes, because it doesn't touch internal parts like drivers (it's a theme, not a ROM), so it will just make the ROM not working/booting, but the phone working.

Your choice ;)

i thing it will possible,...

[Acer Iconia A500] Florida Anvel:
I have the Blurex case. Its nice, I have some questions about it posted in another thread. But I have really looked also at the Slim Roocase and The Acase case's pictures posted on Amazon. I guarantee that these are the same cases. I compared the corners, the placement of the holders that hold the tablet in place, the holes for the speakers and camera, and the way the tablet is stood up. People, these are the same case made by the same manufacture, licensed to different companies and stamped with there logo. Its really well made of leather, so if you have to choose, get the cheapest one.

I love that cover. However wouldn't that process be faster if you use a metal paint remover?

Just an observation, that's what I had in mind to use.

Is there a reason why you selected a different route?

Great job however
[HTC Sensation] ce_rob:
aircraft remover would work MUCH faster, yes. i may have to do that this weekend...
[HTC Sensation] RoganTheTwat:
It would be easily painted tbh, it would need sanding down then painting with a primer/undercoat then a topcoat of your choosing (Depending on the paint you may need to add a top coat of lacquer)

The problem with the pain removers is that it would also remove it from the "htc" which then takes away from the appeal imo.

[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
While the recovery we have at the moment, fruit of the hard work of xantaro, unclecracker and digitalfrost, is enough for most operations there are some things bugging me that is in our interest to fix with the ultimate aim of adding it to ROM Manager and thus get official support.

Current issues:

1. It isn't the latest version of CWM and isn't official.

2. It doesn't have USB mount working.

3. It doesn't have ADB working.

4. It doesn't support EXT4.

Now, I have tried to fix these but recoveries are a new domain for me and at a first attempt I couldn't bring some of these to work. Compiling the latest version was easy and an important first step towards official; however, all others I couldn't do it and I don't think we should talk with koush before fixing all this.

Here are my short attempts:

- For USB mount I defined on the BoardConfig the path for UMS lun0 file. The path seems to be correct and there's no other file in /platform/ as I've found out by running a ls -R. I have no idea why it's not working.

- For ADB, I made sure the persist.adb.service is set to 1 and the init.rc is starting it. This being said, I don't know what's missing. Perhaps this is of interest?

- For EXT4 support I thought it was just a matter of adding alternative FS to recovery.fstab. Seems I was wrong though.

So, does anyone want to join in and help?

This is really new territory to me and I have a quite faint idea of what I'm doing.

A few guidelines:

- Read this to get an idea.

- You'll need CM sources (repo init... repo sync...)

- The CWM recovery source is in /bootable/recovery

- Here is my device source and a patch file for some changes on recovery src *

- Run build commands (. build/envsetup.sh, lunch full_p970-eng, make -j4 recoveryimage)

* If you don't change what I did on the recovery source you won't have a key to select.

Also, I have CWM 4.x at the moment on my OB but since it does the same as the already posted 3.x I don't deem necessary to share it; but if anyone wants, I'll upload it.

I'll join the party when I come from the mini-vacations, hope there'll be some progress meanwhile!
[LG Optimus Black] dxdiag32:
Great

i'll try to do some help,maybe little :)
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
If anyone wants you can request a pull from my source.

Also, here's a flashing CWM 4.x. I renamed it Nova recovery for the lulz.

http://www.multiupload.com/R7WGNYTL7G
[LG Optimus Black] xantaro:
Changes on the Source to get selectbutton to work shouldn´t be necessary. Adding "BOARD_HAS_NO_SELECT_BUTTON := true" to boardconfig.mk suffices to get selectbutton to work.

EXT4 Backup and Restore worked for me after editing the fstab file.

For the ADB and USB mount problem i have no Idea what is missing. Like you said, adb daemon should get started througt the initscript.

BTW. seems like the Progressbar isn´t working on the newer Versions of CWM
[LG Optimus Black] evilenter:
Could you release a new version or tell us how to do it? Thanks:)
[LG Optimus Black] Rusty!:
To get EXT4 working in my O2X builds my /data line looks like this:
