[Xoom General] Psychokitty:
I agree. If you learn what the Xoom and productivity apps are capable of, and realize what the Xoom is NOT capable of, it can be a very productive device.

The first thing you have to have is a computer (running XP is best) on the Internet 24/7. That doesn't appeal to some, but I've done it for years.

With a handful of select apps (or their equivelants), you can make your Xoom nearly (NEARLY) as productive as a laptop.

PhoneMyPC-

I view files and run programs on my desktop remotely using this. I even view a webcam with audio. It cannot download/upload.

DropBox-

Makes PhoneMyPC worth it. You can upload/download via DropBox, giving PhoneMyPC the one thing it lacks.

PrinterShare-

Prints anything at any time directly to my home or office printer, instantly. Will locate nearby wifi printers, too.

FTPCafe-

I have 4 websites and can manage them all from my Xoom now with this tool. Upload/download files, create folders, change permissions, etc. Great stuff. Increases my productivity 10 fold. Idownload html docs, make changes, and reupload them.

Documents to Go-

Microsoft editing suite emulator. Was really great, but since I bought it others have come out with better ones. A must have for pproductivity, however none of the apps seem to have the best of everything. You really need to research this one. Some won't replicate docs with the right margins, etc, while others (like mine) won't let Excel do equasions with sub-sheets. It can be frustrating, but there is a great thread around here on this topic pitting a few of the best against each other.

Then there are the usual smart phone Android apps, such as recorders, write pads, etc.

Prior to getting the Xoom, I used to lug around a bohemeth laptop. Now I have discovered the joy of lightwieght freedom by taking the fullest advantage of my home and office networks that Android apps have to offer. And they're always coming oput with better stuff!

Right now I'm typing on the Motorola BT keyboard and using a BT mini mouse with my Xoom in the dock, charging.

-My laptops are getting dusty. I've since yanked their hard drives and occassionally cable them to my tablet for anything I might need.

I will say this; there is definitely a learning curve associated with using the Xoom to try to replace your laptop. I've been learning how to do it since March, so if someone were to ask me, should I get Xoom or a laptop for school, I wouldn't tell them to get the tablet. But with practice, it CAN be done.

Android tablet apps are gearing towards productivity, though. I've already impressed my boss with AndCAD and some 3D model viewers, and using SolidWorks at work via my home network (Phone My PC) and then importing the files to my tablet (DropBox) and then loading them to a thumbdrive for him to give to the engineering dept.

But without having practiced that a lot, I could have looked like a bumbling fool in front of my boss.

-It's really like learning a whole new way to use a computer.

Note, all the apps I mentioned are pricey and you may want to do research before deciding on alternatives. Hope this helps.
[Xoom General] okantomi:
They are pricey compared to many android apps (so many great free apps) but compared to PC software, they are super cheap. I just use my desktop and the Xoom. My life is so much easier now. I really wish I had something like this when I was in grad school.

[Xoom General] EL_G15:
I just tried freenote nad i love it.

thanks for sharing it.

it has some pretty nice features....
[Xoom General] slaterc070:
This is the best so far

Looked near and far for a good handwriting app, had Ipad which I hated but loved uPad. Freenote comes the closest can be utilized in meetings and at school. Can't wait to see improvments! :eek::eek::eek:
[LG Revolution] estesp:
I work quite a bit with cross-compilers in my day job, but I haven't tried to use any of the pre-packaged ones in the Android SDK(s).. however, until I have time to play with them, the ARMv6 versus 7 probably relates to these 2 variables:

$ export ARCH=arm

$ export CROSS_COMPILE=arm-eabi-

Also, gcc has -march and -mtune params that can sometimes be used to select specific CPUs and/or sub-architectures within a main CPU family.. if someone (e.g. LG) gave out an SDK for the Revo specifically, their gcc would probably already be "spec'ed" to march and mtune for the specific CPU..so maybe the generic Android ARM gcc cross-compiler defaults to ARMv6.

I may have time to poke into this later, but it probably won't be today..

- Phil
[LG Revolution] rickt:
I've been informed that GCC cannot output ARMv7. I think licensed developer tools are needed. Can anyone confirm this?

RMT.
[LG Revolution] estesp:
GCC4.3 added ARMv7 support. This discussion seems to confirm the various details:

Full discussion here:

http://freebsd.1045724.n5.nabble.com/ARMv7-EABI-Cross-Compiler-tp4201510p4201523.html

Depending on who is providing the cross-compiler you are trying to use, they may either be using something prior to gcc4.3, or, they are providing a compiler which has not been enabled with the ARMv7 target. You could try using Kegel's cross-tool with a recent gcc (4.4 or 4.5) to build your own ARMv7 cross-compiler, but not sure how deep you want to go with this!

[LG Revolution] adunski:
I haven't been able to get a working tun.ko for this either. I've having trouble compiling my own. Could you post the adapter you're working with?

I just saw a verizon update come down, but kernel is 2.6.32.9-perf lg-electronics@area88 #1.
[LG Revolution] Bait-Fish:
Bumping this ol' thread hoping that progress has been made or someone knows about a thread I missed. Trying (hoping) to get OpenVPN going with my Revo so I'm hoping there's a tun.ko available.
[LG Revolution] nasaiya:
I successfully compiled a tun.ko for mine using the "crossdev" package on gentoo. Just setting ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-eabi- did the trick for me.

I believe older verions of gcc were not yet capable of producing ARMv7.

gcc 4.5.3 certainly is. I would try upgrading to that if possible and that ought to work.

I'd be happy to share my tun.ko with anyone that wants it as well...

Slightly unrelated, I also found that loading the module (insmod tun.ko) did not cause the /dev/net/tun node to be created for some reason...

a simple

mkdir /dev/net
mknod /dev/net/tun c 10 200

as root, and AFTER loading the module resolves that problem, at least until the next reboot. I haven't figured out how to get it to run a script at boot yet to automate it.

If anyone wants the tun.ko let me know and I'll upload it somewhere.
[LG Revolution] mtmichaelson:
Blitz includes tun.ko
[LG Revolution] Bait-Fish:
Thanks you very much for the offer. I am a total noob as far as compiling goes!

Damn sweet! I never needed it before so that went right over my head previously. Can I simply extract it or would I have to be on BK? (which I'm not)
[LG Revolution] nasaiya:
I believe you need to install ClockWorkMod to flash blitz onto your phone. You can backup first and try it out safely with CWM. Just follow the instructions in the thread it's easy.

Here's my tun.ko for anyone that wants it. I found "openvpn installer" and "openvpn settings" apps perfect for my needs (only issue is I still have to manually add the device node -- even with blitzkrieg, but it's no big deal)

http://www.box.com/s/a50pnexofiej4in7s5h7
[LG Revolution] mtmichaelson:
You could try pulling it from the blitz zip and dropping it in your /system/lib/modules and see if it works!
[LG Revolution] Bait-Fish:
Cool, thanks. I'll attempt the 'easy' way first.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Themes and Apps] tylerwatt12:
I am taking bootloader logo requests.

Give me the link to a picture and i will give you a flashable .sbf file

**Droid A855 Only**

If you don't know what a bootloader logo is, it's the M logo when you first turn on your phone.

The picture can only take up a small letterboxed size portion of the screen, so full screen images are not allowed.

I suggest using a logo or phrase.

About a month ago i bought a brand new seal packed nexus s sc-lcd variant i9023 which is available in india, and recently found out that it had a dead pixel.So i went with the phone to the service center they replaced the screen with a new display, but again the same problem occurred ...even the new display had a dead pixel.This annoyed me and i insisted on a replacement.So yesterday i got the new seal packed nexus s ....and guess what it again had the same problem.It seems there is some manufacturing defect in these sc-lcds used for nexus s i9023 variant.So please beware before buying the sc-lcd variant.Because i have experienced dead pixels in all 3 displays i have tried till now.I just hope i don't face the same problem with s-amoled screens because i would now be going for samsung galaxy s i9000 because it has the same humming bird chipset and almost identical specs.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Neurotica:
It is my understanding that it is common for LCDs to have sub-pixels that go on and off. Now depending on the manufacturer's ISO certification, this might be something that they allow or maybe a certain number of dead pixels are OK.

I might be wrong here.

For your information. Galaxy s at 1.5ghz scores 2k plus in quadrant compare to nexus s that score 3500 at 1ghz.

hey how to check for dead pixels?
[Nexus S General] atrixboy:
Bought my i9020a SAMOLED Nexus S used, its about 2 years old now (Bell unlocked version), and have no issues. As for performance.... ha ha ha ha if anything today comes close. I had an Atrix 4G and scored 3200 @1.0ghz. My nexus s scores 3300-3400 stock.... so much for the graphics powerful and dual core packed Atrix, it loses hands down. The nexus s may not be the FASTEST or most POWERFUL android but it is streamlined, software, so well it screams. Any Modding and it exponentially gets faster.
[Nexus S General] balibalistic:

[Nexus S General] MaxCarnage:
We secretly switch atrixboy's Atrix with a Nexus S to see if he would change his screen name on XDA Developers. Let's watch.

[Nexus S General] atrixboy:
Sorry folks. Meant to say 2 months old not 2 years. Have had it myself about a month now. I have a tendency to kill phones within 6 months, usually to find the breaking edge. Destructive habit I know. But at least I can guarantee my advice when I say "DONT DO THIS....." HA as for changing the screen name.... nexusboy.... nah... nexusgod.... too much ego....

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nirak:
You can't compare the wifi speed of a phone with a computer.

Due to a technical reason (i'm not a techie, so can't explain well) the maximum speed for wifi on a smartphone is 54 Mbps, no matter what kind of wifi protocol you're using (g or n).

Nowadays a small improvement is made (a check for back and forward sent packages is disabled) which will give you an extra 11 Mbps, and there we have our 65 Mbps maximum speed.

The 'N connection' on your Arc is only mentioned in the specs to point out that it is compatible with that protocol.

Hope i did shed some light on your Q, if any tech can explain better, plz correct me.
[LG Revolution] tybean93:
Before coming here i tried to install CWM from the app market.

It felt to daunting trying to port the mod to my phone using Thecubes method. so i just left CWM on there. Well while Verizon tried to update my phone, it rebooted into recovery and from there it let me everytime. Thus allowing me to flash revolt-rom. no idea if this is normal just putting it out there.
[LG Revolution] Haro912:
I'm not sure if I know what you mean...
[LG Revolution] ozymandiaz:
It sounds like he's saying that his failed installation of CWM from the market started working after the OTA patch? Not sure if that's what he meant...
[LG Revolution] Danzdroid:
Sounds like the Market install didn't give you a way to access cwm from the ui, but it did install...it just needed something (the vzw update) to call for a recovery reboot, which then gave control to cwm.

[I'm Revolting -- are you? Beamed directly into your brain by Revolt 1.3]
[LG Revolution] tybean93:
This is correct i was up late and typing on a broken keyboard, but for less advance users could be a way to get around adb. Also after the update you could use the ui to reboot into recovery.

[Galaxy S II Accessories] thirru:
This is partly connected to Bluez-IME. In theory Bluez-IME can emulate the Xperia controls hence Gameloft games should work with Phonejoy. However for some reason in many games just the d-pad appears to be working as of yet. The issue is known however to the dev Kenneth (http://code.google.com/p/android-bluez-ime/issues/detail?id=66) and I think he is looking into it.

In part 2 of the video he uses it with Samurai Vengeance and it works rather well i might add (around 9:18min mark):

Hi guys,

I have a sensation with an official rom ( HTC Europe 1.45.401.2, kernel 2.6.35.13-g3422292, radio 10.56.9035.00U_10.14.9035.01_m ). I made an update to android 2.3.4 and now it's S off et rooted with revolutionay, cw, busy box.

CPU is scaling on demand beetwen 192/1188mhz , i have cpu master. set cpu does not work with my sensation. :confused:

Could somenone tell me how to proceed to overclock my cpu ? what kernel ? and so on ....

thank you very much :)
[HTC Sensation] the_scotsman:
You need to have a kernel that supports overclocking. There are a few available in the Development forum.

Though I HIGHLY recommend installing a custom ROM, as the performance difference is huge.
[HTC Sensation] Catpoule:
Hi, thanks for your answer, I tried an custum rom but it did not work for me ... maybe i did something wrong :(

I tiried Revolution HD but i did not succed. I have a few questions about this rom.

Is the kernel already included in the custum rom or do i have to flash it again ?

Does someone know if there is a kernel available pour original rom on 2.3.4 ?

thanks

Have you tried the last of Leedroid with V7 ROM and program Overclock Virtuous? I have it and you can play around with the frequencies and see the stats you get with some Benchmark

currently that ROM is using stock kernel.

Therefore it is not overclockable.

look in post 2 for any kernels that will allow o/c.
