a friend of mine wants to buy this for their 11 year old - is any good?

My first guess would be that its a POS, just by the price tag (on sale for $50!) but i thought i'd see your opinion on it first.

would it happen to have adobe flash on there at all? can it sideload apps? is there root/roms for it that could make it usable?

and above all, its rot resistive touch, is it?
[HD2 General] tousen:
My HD2 falls in the water. After a few days he boots again but not completely (see the picture).

It'is just a ROM problem or something is dead in the hardware? :(

Thanks for the help
[HD2 General] brandogg:
It could just be your battery. I would try that first, if you can find someone with the same battery.
[HD2 General] tousen:
Hum difficult to find someone here in Canada with a htc HD2 :(

However, the battery looks goods
[HD2 General] tousen:
No one has an idea?
[HD2 General] orangekid:
take out the battery, then plug it in the charger, then see if it boots.

If not, it's your mainboard.
[HD2 General] tousen:
it doesn't boot...

RIP my little friend Leo :(
[HD2 General] orangekid:
No boot at all or past a certain point?
[HD2 General] tousen:
Not at all :(

Just in case, I was using an android Rom (imilka's Incredible Sense v1.1) with cLK_1.3.3.
[HD2 General] manu33xtro:
And if you try to flash again with task29 and the rest for CLK...

Maybe you can trying a original version...

With this

Good luck
[HD2 General] tousen:
The problem is that I can't go through the bootloader (3 colored lines).

When I start with the up et down volume buttons pushed, the last line of codes on the screen says "fastboot: processing command"
[HD2 General] orangekid:
fastboot is a clk thing, you holding down vol down then powering on? should get to the tri-color hspl, then maybe try a stock flash via SD or something?
[HD2 General] tousen:
When I'm holding vol down then powering on it comes to the screen I post on the top.
[HD2 General] orangekid:
so have you tried a stock ROM sd flash?
[HD2 General] tousen:
I'm not sure to know what it is about :(

You mean install an official HTC Windows Mobile ROM from the SD card?
[HD2 General] orangekid:
Ya .
[HD2 General] tousen:
but to do that I need to access bootlader?
[HD2 General] orangekid:
You're doing something with the up volume, you mean when you start it up holding vol down (before you press power) it still goes to fastboot?
[HD2 General] tousen:
Sorry I made a mistake : When I start it up holding vol down (before I press power) it goes to the screen I post on the firt post.
[HD2 General] orangekid:
Can't load the image for some reason it just gets stuck or something, can you attach it to a post here?
[HD2 General] orangekid:
and if you turn off the phone, hold vol down then power it on it takes you to that clk instead of bootloader?
[HD2 General] tousen:
yes, the same thing.
[HD2 General] orangekid:
that's so weird.

Do you know how to operate fastboot?

You could try to get into CWM
[HD2 General] tousen:
When holding Back button on startup button I can go into fastboot.

Unfortunately, my battery is now empty and with my problem I can't charge it. I think, the only solution is to buy a charger (ebay) which can charge the battery without the phone.
[HD2 General] Marvlesz:
you should only press the down button ;)
[HD2 General] tousen:
This kind of charger is my only solution I think:

Im kinda of thinking it is a miatake now because some ppl on here bash it so much! Now coming from ipad to xoom to this is it as bad as ppl on xda make out?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mikebz5:
Love mine! It actually is BETTER than I thought it would be!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] turbulent28:
you have a return window...

try it out and be your own judge.

what you gonna do? wait for the package and not open it?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] starplaya93:
Tip of the day... Think for yourself.

The majority of people bashing the TF bash their cell phones, their tvs, their computers and just about every other expensive piece of hardware they invest in because it doesn't wipe their ass and make their morning coffee.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Camaros_Kill:
I love mine more than anything else i own, other than my Camaro of course lol. I just found an app called sixaxis controller that lets me use a ps3 controller to play games and even navigate the launcher via bluetooth!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] RojasTKD:
I just got mine and am happy with it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] brando56894:
I "bash" mine because it does have problems, but other than those I love the device. The only real problem that mattered to me was when it decided it didn't want to charge anymore.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] player911:
All devices have problems. My ipad2 had screen bleed and restricted. The transformer has some screen bleed but is awesome. Be sure to pick up a tablet keyboard like thumb keyboard or swiftkeyX. Really man typing a breeze while holding the tablet.

Asus Transformer 3.2 pwnd

[Eee Pad Transformer General] Tubular:
It's a great device and very capable. If you don't get the QC issues the device is great and I think you'll enjoy it.

For most of the QC issues you'll know right from the beginning. For some like dying speakers nobody can really tell when that will occur. You probably shouldn't consider creaking a defect either, keep that in mind.

The majority of the people here that bash the device probably do so due the QC, not the actual device itself. It's very capable and well designed, it's just the execution was somewhat poor and the QC suffered as a result.

So you should just try it out like another poster said. You might find it so good that you don't want to return it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] hiya1987:
Yeh i think that is probaly best, has.there been many qc issues?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jwilliamf:
Wow!!! You just nailed!!!!:D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] myamex:
The new generation are people like a crying whining baby with no patience. They just want everything to work instantly, perfectly and bugs fixed immediately.

Is the transformer perfect? Nope, but I can live with it and enjoy what I have instead of complaining about it everyday.

lightbleed? is there, not affecting my use whatsoever.

batter drain? fixed already. I don't have battery issue anymore. Lost about 2% overnight.

keyboard browser lag? Annoying, but I am patiently waiting for a fix. it's useable, but ya, people can't wait a second these days. They will be so angry and wanna throw the tablet against the wall or keep posting Epic fail in every asus update thread.

netflix? don't care at all. i can root it if I really want it.

flash video lag? fixed already.

Lack of apps? I beleive it will get better. There werent many apps when i had my iphone1.

Circle mouse? I actually like it more than the arrow cursor. People made it such a big deal.

Did I miss anything that people were bashing? Seriously, just try to enjoy it and have a little patience.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] rommark:
For those who considering XOOM better build? Think again....

Google :) Lots of XOOM got creaks/cracks of the back, loose in buttons and back plastic side, loose of corners, bad view angles etc....

We see all bad things about Transformers since we are looking for it...But XOOM got all same **** guys...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] foxtrot5:
Loving my transformer. An awesome platform for tinkering too. I have mine dual booting ubuntu/android via lilstevie's work.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] DT39:
It seems to human nature to dwell on the bad things!

I have had my Transformer & dock for about a week now and don't know what all the fuss has been about it is the best thing i have bought for a while. Just the whole thing with the tab & dock when you want it or to top up battery is a win win!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Fairwayman:
If you have a Costco membership, you can buy it online, use it for up to 90 days and return it to a local store (if you have issues)

I don't condone returning something if its not broke or just cause something better came out!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] VandyCWG:
I bought me an Acer Iconia A500, but could never shake the want for the keyboard dock.

I bought my TF last week, and haven't look back.

Solid device.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] blastdabomb:
As for me, I got touch screen problems (thing doesn't sense your fingers at some parts of the screen) and had to send to Asus for RMA. I was told it'll come back in 6-8 weeks... so I'm not too happy at the moment.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] thebigham:
Wow, two months! That is ridiculous! Shouldn't they send you a replacement and then you send the defective unit back.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] blastdabomb:
Well, it's the RMA and they don't send the replacement. I hope for the turnaround to be less than 2 months but for now I'll have to see if I really need a tablet, and if so, look at some stores' return policies.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dhamma110:
The bashing people are a minority, the most people are very happy. And so am I. It 's not perfect, but it's the best you can get for your money. I am still loving it dearly.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bighulk666:
I've had mine for about a week now and I really like it over my ipad2. I notice a little lag when going in and out of the app drawer and across from screen to screen, but that's my only gripe about it.

Sent from my Transformer TF101
[Eee Pad Transformer General] AcIdC0R3:
Had the Viewsonic g-Tablet and it had the Flashback HC 1.3 custom ROM and saw the Galaxy and Asus TF and that they had HC native on it and I was sold. The decision on whether to get the Galaxy or the TF was a draw for a while then I did my homework and decided that expandable storage sold me on the TF. It's one of the best investments I've made. Love it to death except for that annoying popup list chooser 3.2 bug. I'm sure a fix is on the way. All-in-all the TF is the way to go.

Buy one and don't look back. You won't be disappointed.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] drex552:
Yup just got mine from newegg today! I too went back and forth between Galaxy Tab and Transformer. I love the Transformer so far. Honeycomb 3.2 is awesome on this device. I tried the Galaxy Tab 10.1 at the local Verizon store and it was really sluggish. Displays look identical to me. Can't wait to root the device to try Ubuntu. I got Ubuntu running on my HTC Thunderbolt, but I believe its next to impossible to be productive on that small device in relation to the Transformer. I'm really amazed at how thin and light the device is. I'm keeping this device! :-)

Does anyone have any comparable experience between rooting the HTC Thunderbolt and ASUS Transformer? (Is the time to root longer or shorter than the Thunderbolt and can one go back to stock?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] darkmanx2g:
Yup I have the transformer for about over 2 months now and I am very impressed. I got the dock as well and is just an amazing accessory if you want to efficiently chat, navigate, and write emails.

I know that Honeycomb is in its infant stages on its first iteration and will take time for Google to smooth out the bugs but at OS 3.2, its pretty smooth on browsing, navigating, and multitasking. The only significant lag is through the keyboard dock. Its not instant when you are typing and Its more of Asus programming trying to integrate it into honeycomb. Other than that, I love the screen, size, and price point.

Asus really made a compelling tablet that no other Android manufacturer has yet to compete in with their additional keyboard attachment.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] i n f a m o u s:
I really wanted an iPad 2 and Galaxy 10.1 but after I realised they didn't offer a micro SD card slot and Adobe flash (I'm looking at you Apple), I knew the Transformer was the right choice.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] djscopesofm:
i heard the transformer is one of the better HC tabs.. with a custom rom that is
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wikid24:
Aside from the hardware touchscreen issue that blastdabomb has, I haven't had one software problem with my device that I wasn't able to fix.

Anyone who bashes this wonderful, fantastic device based on the software has either has never rooted their device OR never did their research and fixed it via checking it out on these forums.

Hmm, I'm thinking I might try installing Ubuntu next... :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] checkbox111:
Yeah, well how many have prime 1.7 and then winge that this and that don't work, then blame the actual device for the fault not the the third party developer :confused:
[Eee Pad Transformer General] hiya1987:
i have received my transformer have been using it for a couple of hrs and i love it, i came across a issue with it not playing but i bought dice player. Any tips you can provide wud b appreciated.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Elzbieta:
Keep in mind that people post when they have a problem or question more than if everything works great. Love my transformer, had to RMA it, but came back OK and love it still!!! :D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] deerkiller11:
I have had mine for a couple of weeks and not a problem.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] hiya1987:
i probaly worded that wrong i dont have a issue it wouldnt play 720p avi's but i found a fix for it
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Korumera:
Bought mine last saturday and i'm in love with it! It's an incredible machine if I may say so. Only downside on the moment mine can't be rooted but that's about it. It runs smooth, battery life is awesome (no drain or whatsoever).
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ethancarerra:
Hey there XDA Members , Quick question.

How does one go install a Theme on Samsung Galaxy S (SGH T959) ?

Links or anything else helps.

Thanks in advance.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyle51:
flash through recovery like you would a rom then wipe dalvik or flash with rom manager and tick wipe dalvik :)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:
-What ROM are you on?

-Which theme are you trying to get? is the theme compatible with YOUR rom?

-There may be more than 1 way if you're on a CM7 based ROM.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] cjward23:
Hi Guys,

Made a few different SystemUI mods. I thought it would be easier to have them all in one place and not dotted all over the ROM thread.

These mods may break stuff as the SystemUI.apk was pulled from a different ROM. So please do a nandroid before flashing just in case as I will accept no responsibility if your phone breaks. But I have tested them all and they should be fine.

All of the zips also install the HTC Task Manager app.

Also these mods are not approved by the Virtuous Dev Team so if you have problems with the rom please don't report bugs until you have flashed back to the stock virtuous notification bar.

Unlike the mods I posted in the Virtuous 2.0 thread these should have the all the stock notification icons. If I have missed something please let me know.

These mods will not change your battery icons to the one in the screenshot, that is my personal mod and is not included in the zip.

Extended Setting with Recent Apps and No Transparency

rmk40 for the wonderful Virtuous Sense ROM

xT4Z1N4TRx for porting LeeDrOiD_HD to the DZ which gave me the idea to try the apk's from that ROM on Virtuous

LeeDroid for actually doing all the hardwork in making the mods originally :D

P.I Boy for the guide I used to remove the apps from the notification bar
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] kymlalu:
Hi,

how do you get slider at brightness settings? I try flash your files but i don't have it :(.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] cjward23:
Should work have turned auto brightness off?

Of the mod didn't work at all, try mounting system in recovery before flashing and don't use rom manager to flash.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] kymlalu:
Yes, auto is off but nothing. Isn't big problem but would be nice if its work - one less widget on my homescreen :).
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] cjward23:
Umm, which version of the mod are you using? The slider works on the version I'm using.

I will flash it and see if it works for me. If it is broken I will have a look at it after work.

Do Androids dream of electric sheep?
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] kymlalu:
Extended_Settings_and_Transparency.zip this is what i have. Maybe slider fnc depend on somethind elese? And as i mentioned, isn't big problem.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] cjward23:
Just tested and it works fine for me. Your are using Virtuous Sense 2.0?

Do Androids dream of electric sheep?
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] kymlalu:
Yes, have Virtuous Sense 2.0 . Maybe some of Sense 3 things change this control.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] chocohagelslagje:
Thanks! It works great! I always miss it when it's not in a rom :)
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] JassyNL:
nvm, had to read.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] ze4life:
i tried the extended controls with transparency option, and while it is transparent in the notifications tab, its not transparent in the controls tab
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] cjward23:
Umm, it must be an issue with the original apk's. I'll have a look soon. But I'm busy with another project at the moment. :)
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] xT4Z1N4TRx:
Mate, does this work on virtuous doubleshot????

[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] cjward23:
No idea buddy. :D
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] jontornblom:
This is great. Thanks again!

Edit: I'm wondering if it would be appropriate to change the bottom notification and quick setting tabs to dark colours to match the rest of the systemui? I would do this myself (simply swapping images with my own), but I am not sure how to (edit the xml?) to make the text on the tabs white...

Sent from my Nexus 6 through tears in rain.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] azrash:
I was thinking of the same thing! really want it in dark as the original one
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] jontornblom:
I'm not exactly sure if you mean this, but there are a few zips he made and the ones that have transparency are dark, overall.

But that might not be what you are talking about...

[Android Software Development] Rootstonian:
I'm a programmer; I don't do Sales, I don't do Marketing LOL

I'm working on an app that has my partner and I debating on pretty much a daily basis. I'll try to explain best as possible without too much detail. :rolleyes:

The app takes a pre-loaded database (a "template") from assets folder and loads into the app. Works fine. Thing is, there will be more templates, probably up to 20 for which we want to charge (we're talking small amounts here).

So, here is the debate we're having:

1. Create 20 apps with each having the one template. Easy as hell for me but goes against my programming standards as to why have 20 apps when ONE does the work? NOTE: Does not need any permissions

2. Create one app, ask user for template on startup, download from cloud. A little tougher, but not much. Problem here is that what if they want 2 templates? Or 5? We want to charge for each template. I could do "AppName +2" or "AppName +5"

versions and charge accordingly. NOTE: Max templates a user would have is probably 5.

3. In-app purchasing...I've read about this. Not so easy. You either hide content (and over bloat your app or code a mechanism that allows Joe to have in-app purchase app, but not Julie). Google makes clear note of this in their docs. NOTE: my bloat would be about a 7,000 row database on user's phone.

So, just looking for some other opinions...all comments welcome!

TIA,

Roots
[Android Software Development] baboonsRus:
From what I can understand, I think # 1 is the most tried and true method, as most launchers with themes work this way. The upside for you as far as making money is concerned is that there are people who want all their options, whether or not they will ever use them... I have been guilty of it myself with lp+ themes. I've paid for ones I'll never use, because it's there and most apps tend to be in the "impulse buy" price range.
[Android Software Development] crowbarsolutions:
I agree, #1 is your best option, it may require a lot more work as far as deploying goes, but it is the most reliable method.
[Android Software Development] Rootstonian:
Interesting! Thank you for your replies. :)

A little more information...the templates (e.g. database) will probably never change from initial download, so that update is a moot point.

One thing I didn't think about is creating and SAVING 20 keys!!! Yikes. I've lost those before...very bad situation when that happens. Not to mention 20 distinct package names.
[Android Software Development] roee88:
You can sign all packages with the same key.

As of package names, all you need is to change the application package not the code packages. The ADT has a tool for renaming application packages.

Here is my suggestion, although I never tried it:

Create 20 apps for templates with no logic at all.

For each one of these apps:

(1) Put a single template file in the res/raw folder

(2) Create an Activity that doesn't do anything at all (call finish on onCreate).

(3) Set intent-filter for your null activity with android.intent.action.MAIN and your own custom category.

Create 1 main application with all application logic and code but with no templates at all (or just one default template).

(1) Search for installed templates using PackageManager.queryIntentActivities with an Intent that match Intent.ACTION_MAIN and your custom category.

(2) Read templates using Context.createPackageContext, getResources of the created context, getIdentifier to find the id of the template file and openRawResource to actually open it as an InputStream.

There are other methods to share resources, take look at android:sharedUserId.
[Android Software Development] Rootstonian:
Interesting concept, but if I read it right, I sill need 20 "dummy" apps to go with the main "driver".

I've got some time to mess with this because I have to implement drag and drop on some ListViews. I might just end-up coding the in-app purchase stuff.

EDIT: LOL, I can't wait till I can afford an iPad and port all my stuff to iOS
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] blazelazydays:
I'm currently using miui 1.8 and the android keyboard is terrible on it. I've downloaded Go Keyboard but it's still not very good and has a slow response, although it's better than stock. my question is does anyone know of a good keyboard to use with miui or how to fix this problem? Greatly appreciated :) Thanks
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] derekwilkinson:
my favorite keyboard is swift key. after awhile it can predict your whole conversation :)
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] hugo87:
Smart keyboard is also another. Has a decent size keypad and can be themed easily from there website forum.

swiftkey takes it.
