[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] 5thElement:
Im honestly amazed at how little education people here have about TouchWiz.

TouchWiz is by far the most advanced software you currently can get on a tablet. The user experience it provides is light years ahead of anything else out there, even Honeycomb 3.2.

Not only that but TouchWiz gives you access to specific hardware you cant access without it. The ability to change color temperature of the screen is a HUGE feature you can only have with toucwiz.

Here are just a few of the features you get from TouchWiz that you cant get anywhere else :

1. REAL multitasking just like in Windows. You can have TWO apps open at once on the same screen and not have to switch back and forth. There is nothing like this available in the market or in 3.2. HUGE props to Samsung for doing this.

2. Ability to change color temperature of the screen.

3. One touch wifi file access to tablet from PC <-- AWESOME

4. Sluggish menu scrolling in vanilla Honeycomb are gone! It looks like

Samsung devs used video hardware acceleration for scrolling which creates a smooth experience compared to Vanilla honeycombs laggy jumpy scrolling in may menus.

5. Awesomenew notification/settings popup menu. FAR superior to stock Honeycomb.

6. One touch screen capture button in the task bar takes a snap shot of the screen and automatically saves to a folder.

7. Lots of cool QUALITY widgets not like the junk you find in the market.

8. Motion gestures

9. Superior App Manager/ RAM manager which can run ON TOP of any app you are running.

10. BEST Music app and runs super smooth. Much better than stock H.C. or anything in the market

11. BEST Ebook reader app you can get.

12. Your tablet will run FASTEST with touchwiz. Samsung is using hardware acceleration for menus like Apple. Stock HC uses software rendering which is why its so slow and laggy. You cant get hardware acceleration if you dont have TouchWiz. No the Devs here will not be able to add it as its beyond their capabilities.

The list goes on and on. TouchWiz is simply a superior experience than stock HC. I would even dream of using my tab without it. Your tablet is incomplete and missing features to access hardware if you dont have TouchWiz.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] steve664npc:
Really? I guess it's a personal thing then. I used TW for a week before deciding I COULD do without out LOL.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought TW was JUST a GUI and nothing else! It shouldn't offer superior app management and ram management... and as for the apps you mention, well we all have choices via the android market.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] poisike:
1. 6 predefined apps, you call this REAL multitasking!? I have no use for these apps, except maybe calculator that i have used once.

2. I have no need for that. And i think there are apps in Market that can do this?

3. How? Has this something to do with that thing called Kies? I refuse to use this ****.

4. The menu scrolling has never been sluggish on my Xoom, so i don't know what you are talking about.

5. Awesomenew notification/settings popup menu? Yeah, design is little different.

6. I have accidentally used that screen capture button a few times, other then that i have no use for this. There are lot of apps in Market that can make screenshots.

7. I really tried to use those "cool QUALITY widgets" just to give Samsung and Touchwiz a fair chance. I couldn't stand them for longer then a week. Then i downloaded the same widgets i used on my Xoom.

8. Motion gestures... yes, this feature bugged me also until i chose "never ask again".

9. I have never used or needed a App Manager/ RAM manager on Xoom. Why would i want to use this on GT10.1?

10. I must admit, i have never tried the BEST Music app. I use Google Music.

11. I have never used the BEST Ebook reader app either, so i can't comment on this.

12. Your tablet will run FASTEST with touchwiz? Maybe my GT10.1 has a hardware problem, but i don't see that it runs faster then my Xoom.

So i don't really see what touchwiz added, besides that gray bottom bar, which really bothers me the most. If i could get a vanilla 3.2 ROM, i would be very happy.

Of course this is my personal opinion and i'm not saying that GT10.1 isn't a good tablet.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] 5thElement:
It is recommended to read the white papers on TouchWiz to understand why its so important if you have a Tab 10. Lag of hardware acceleration without it is one feature alone that should have everyone on board with TouchWiz. Not only that but samsung is releasing an api to allow you to add any app into the mini launch bar.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] 5thElement:
Can you do without touchwiz? Sure if you only use your unit to check email and view a webpage but then why did you buy a tab 10? Also you are wrong on many account...

There are no apps in the android market that will give you true multitasking like touchwiz.

There are no apps in the market that will allow you to change the color temps of the screen.

There are no apps that will allow you to obtain a superior notification menu

There are no apps in the market that will allow you to add hardware acceleration to the GUI.

There are no apps in the market that will allow you to do a at LEAST a dozen more important Tab 10 related features.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] nakedninja42:
That would be great, but I would like to see proof of this statement.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] iPeel:
Do you work for Samsung, or did you grow up at a time when they still used lead paint on childrens' toys?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] mistadman:
Yeah, I'm sorry, but TW doesn't improve my experience.

As a matter of fact, TW seems to have been designed by Samsung to lock users in to their proprietary ecosystem. Unfortunately, I do not believe software development--on the scale that Apple and Google, and allegedly Amazon is building out--is a part of their core competency. I am not sure Samsung has what it takes to build an ecosystem that provides the user experience on the level that Google already provides--so I do not want Samsung's Social Widgets, Music Hub, or whatever other service they are trying to push on me.

The only reason I purchased the Galaxt Tab 10.1 is because of the superior hardware design and quality with respects to other Android Tablet manufacturers, and quite frankly, their TW software just gets in the way. I really dislike having their proprietary software forced down my throat.

If their interface and software bundle is so great, why doesn't Samsung let users choose to install their software via the market or some other option?

--my two cents.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] 5thElement:
My posts are by far the most educational and knowledgeable in this thread. While others post "ha ha touchwiz is so stupid all it did was change the color of the task bar, ha ha ha" I on the other hand provide actual knowledge and reason.

I am sorry if it makes people look foolish as it is not me who is doing it, it is reality that is.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] nakedninja42:
Still waiting for that proof
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Step666:
Even if you were the only person who had posted in the thread, I'm pretty certain that wouldn't be the case...

You like TouchWiz, that's great but take a hint already and stop trying to shove it down everyone else's throats.

That's a website, where is the direct source or article stating they are working on api for the mini task bar?

P.S. This is sent from my desktop
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] dscline:
Your posts have nothing to do with this thread. The OP asked about the best non-TW ROM, and all your posts have been about the exact opposite of what he asked about. You have single handedly managed to derail this thread from his fairly simple request, so it looks to me like your posts have been the least helpful. There's nothing wrong with you having your own opinion, but if you want to explain why you think TW is the ****, start your own thread. Don't be such an asshat and ruin someone else's.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Alopez_45:
Thank you after all it was pretty interesting to read all this. I'm still looking for that rom, I'll still continue my search. Thanks everyone. :)

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Step666:
Not surprised, he went too far when he started criticising Devs.

In some ways it's a shame, he clearly had some knowledge but he seemed loathed to share it and more interested in forcing his opinions onto others.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] iPeel:
You may well have missed it in all the background noise, but on the first page I suggested the Blazar non-TW ROM:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1200387&highlight=blazar

It really is a good ROM, since going with it I've not had a single issue. The Pershoot O/C kernel works well with it too. As mentioned. I managed to watch about 10 hours of 720p video on it on a single charge!

Cheers,

Neil.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] meyer77:
Blazar is a very solid rom. I highly recommend it. I too always prefer a vanilla android experience. Its preference remember android is all about choice.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MekZii:
How to turn off the about:debug menu options? When I see the about:debug menu's I just type about:debug in the browser and it disappears for a short period. After some browsing/few minutes I check the menu and its back again!?

So how do you get rid of the about:debug menu options without having to do it every few minutes.

I have done a factory reset, re-flashed prime 1.8.4 with formatting cach, /system, /data first (with all these steps the internal storage still contained my stuff :S).

(added question... is there a way to format the internal storage other then just select all and then delete?)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MekZii:
I found out it's part of prime. I must have overseen it somehow? In prime 1.9 (I asked this when I had 1.8.4) in the futures list its clearly stated.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roach2010:
Just flash the browser from another rom or use another rom to get rid of the debug menu.

Can I also ask what is the problem with the menu being always on?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MekZii:
I previously thought that with debug mode on it would add special debug-UI elements while just browsing (but that doesn't happen until you activate something in debug mode). So yes, I can live with it staying on :).

[Streak 5 Accessories] G1-Amateur:
Hi,

I can't figure out which screw-size the DELL STREAK 5" uses? I need a replacement screw.

I tried to measure the screw, it's like 4 mm in length with every mm a swirl. I tried to compare this screw to the G1-screw but these are smaller and have more swirls. There is one screw on the G1 with the same size, but it's got more swirls too.

Anyone with tips and/or advice?

PS: How should I interpret the following table?

http://www.fairburyfastener.com/torx_sizing_guide.htm
[Streak 5 Accessories] G1-Amateur:
How should we read the diagram?
[Streak 5 Accessories] (InsertNameHere):
The table is self explanatory.

What type of head, what torx screwdriver do you need for the screws you wish to replace and what thread, so what size are the screws you wish to replace? Start with what you have that you want to replace, the table may not actually contain the right information for what you need.

If you have the screws that you want to replace, take them to a fasteners, they have the ability to measure the thread, head size/type etc and supply you with the right replacement.

Hi!

Samsung Galaxy S II makes videos with Variable Frame Rate, changing between 25 and 35 FPS.

I've tried the Hacked Camera.apk posted in THIS THREAD, but it's the same.

Converting VFR videos is a nightmare!!! (i want to use VirtualDub's DeShaker filter, and it can not handle VFR, and there are other nice problems with VFR too...)

Anyone has any ideas?

[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tariqsdk:
I tried updating my phone and it got stuck on step 9 which was the reboot process. and the screen was just white with the HTC logo. :mad:

It was stuck on this step for a good 3 hours so i assumed something was wrong. I cancelled the update and unplugged the phone from the computer and it was stuck on the HTC screen still so i took out the battery.

And when i put the battery back in and tried turning it on it wouldn't turn on. And so now it my phone won't even turn on! I'm very frustrated. I thought at first it was dead but when i plugged it in the charger the charging light won't even come on. Tried Wall Charger and Computer

[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reeg420:
Pretty sure that's how to put in bootloader. Try to take battery out out for like 2-3 minutes, put back in then try bootloader. Doesn't make sense since the Zune updates basically overwrites files to update, not like previous windows mobile updates that wipes the the phone then replaces everything. Keep trying. Is there a possibility the battery is dead?
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DavieGee:
Whenever you update a phone and something goes wrong, it is always advised to make sure you DON'T remove the battery, especially while updating, if you hadn't removed the battery you could've ran the Windows Phone support tool. You have Bricked your mobile.

If there is no life not even charging you have bricked it.. Sorry to tell you this

You ain't the first person to brick your mobile and sadly you won't be the last

Quick Question: How were you updating your phone? via Zune client where it specifically says Do not remove the cable or battery.. Or via rom update manager for manually updating roms where it says the same thing? Hate to sound horrible but people should really pay attention to what it clearly states during updating..

Additional Info: Just thought id add and ask what you were updating, basically if you were updating either the bootloader or the radio (if these were in the update as well) you've bricked it, and with there being no life at all it tells me its dead and the cpu refuses to boot, the only way to bring it back from the dead is to JTAG it which I don't believe has been done for the HD7 yet and is a massive pain to do, Best thing you can do is send it in for repair and hope that they repair it, normally they don't

I was updating it through Zune, And it was stuck at step 9 and it was stuck like 4 hours.

I will hit the Repair Market to get it fix through JTAG ( I search on Google and find that it's Possible for HD7) and update the thread later.

Wish me Good Luck
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awagner:
I know iPhone 4's are perfect, I think Apple has 0% percent returns. Oh don't forget the bumper, they are so in season... and they help to prevent drop calls.

My guess is there is a reason for the 4 hour update, possibly the phone got disconnected breifly during the update... that happens and the phone will just sit there and never finish. I have a few micro USB cords and they seem to be a bit prone to faluire after months of use. My nephew, who is 19... and well as careless as a 19 year old was holding the phone in his hand did just that, almost bricked his. Fortunately for my nephew the 7720 update program had already copied everything to the phone and it was during the reboot so it updated anyway.

"Thank you for contacting HTC. With regards to your enquiry, kindly note that you can try to restore your phone by using Zune driver. Connect your phone with the PC, open Zune and tap on Update> Restore. If it does not help, you will unfortunately have to try to perform Factory reset: With the phone turned off, press and hold the VOLUME UP and DOWN buttons, and then briefly press the POWER button. Wait for the screen to show the instructions on how to do the factory reset, and then release the VOLUME UP and DOWN buttons. Follow the instructions on screen to factory reset your phone. NOTE: Resetting your handset to factory or manufacturer's default setting will delete all the data stored on your phone memory, please back up your files first."
