[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestD2318:
Hello,

I Was wondering what's the best/simple way to remove system apps?

And if I am the only one having trouble removing system apps.

I have tried removing market/amazone kindle/etc. with My Backup Pro, Root Manager, ES Filemanager, Terminal Emulator. But I'm not able to remove these apps.

Apps like email and books are system apps and I could uninstall them via MyBackup Pro. But this won't work for some other system apps.

I would like to use an app to remove the apps instead of using adb.

My transformer is Rooted and running Prime 1.9.1 so it should work.. I trought....
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sonami:
titanium backup pro
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] isolated_epidemic:
titanium backup pro or a better option in my opinion, Root Explorer or similar. Whenever removing system apps you have to be careful. You may not know it but some apps provide basic functionality to Android and removing them can cause issues like force closes and boot loops. I suggest always making a backup of your full rom first, then use Root Explorer to rename the apps under /system/app to something else. I stick with the simple addition of .bak to the end of a file name. that way if it causes problems you can simply go in and change the name back.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestD2318:
I gues it has something to do with the read/write permissions of /system

When i change /system to read/write with Root Manager I am able to remove them with Terminal Emulator.

I Don't know why this ain't working for the other apps..

but thanks anyway!

Sorry, maybe a silly question. I can read much about the transforner but i never find anything about the slider. - is it to uninteresting or am i blind?

sorry for my opoor englisch

Kind regards

gandalf
[Eee Pad Transformer General] isolated_epidemic:
i assume once its actually released it will get its own forum section.

and yes the damn thing is boring as hell and i personally have no interest.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] 1234556789:
So I am not blind- It has no own thread yet.

But I can´t undertstand why you mean it is so boring- it is the same as the transformer but with integratet keyboard.

( ok -the dock of the transformer with real usb+ extra batery- but the rest....)

kind regards gandalf
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Tubular:
It's not only uninteresting it's hideous and worse than the Transformer in everyway IMO. Fixed angle netbook or a clunky tablet. You're going to be stuck with the weight forever.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] cowballz69:
fixed angle is what killed it for me
[Eee Pad Transformer General] pdagal:
The fixed angle turns out to give the best viewing angle, I found. At first I hated the idea but it's works perfectly for typing since you're close to the tablet, and I also like it for reading news at the breakfast table and watching videos when its sitting on a coffee table and I'm on the couch.

The tablet is now shipping, BTW. Hope it gets its own forum section soon.

I just posted a 30 minute video review on MTR:

[Eee Pad Transformer General] goodintentions:
Wow, nice review.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Bob Smith42:
They had stock on 16GB & 32GB at Newegg last week, now all sold.

ASUS Eee Pad Slider SL101-A1-BR Tablet PC - Mocha NVIDIA Tegra 2 1.00GHz 10.1" 1GB Memory DDR2 16GB Flash HDD NVIDIA ULP GeForce

Maybe they had only 2 in stock. LOL.

I prefer TF101 before SL101, too. If you might own more than one tablet it makes sense to have one bluetooth keyboard - which works on many devices. Mapping keys from Apple bluetooth keyboard to TF101 might be interesting....
[Eee Pad Transformer General] phoranix:
Slider looks interesting, but yes its heavier than tablet tf, and main pain: no extra battery.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] cowballz69:
fixed angle is a horrable design choise, ill deside what angle i want ,
[Eee Pad Transformer General] brando56894:
Niemand sprecht ueber der Slider denn er ist die selbe im vergleich zu den TF101. Auch ich denke das neimand er jetzt haben. ;)

I think no one is really talking about since since it's essentially the same thing as the TF101 with the dock. Also isn't it just in the pre-release stage (no one actually has it yet)?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] pdagal:
It's available from US retailers, but I believe the first shipments have sold out. I bought one from Amazon a few days ago.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] 1234556789:
I had to ask again, because i don´t know what i will buy: transformer or slider.

Ok -without the dock the slider ist heavyer, the look is a matter of opinion, but the rest rest is just the same- that´s what i read, or am i wrong?

- Ok if there is no way to root- that will be a reason but are here other important reasons?

kind regards- and sorry for my englisch again.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] bruuuno:
In the transformer dock you have also a touchpad..in the slider not..this is a great advantage in buying a transformer IMHO..
[Eee Pad Transformer General] goodintentions:
Don't forget the 16 hr bat life in the tf and my hardware mod to add in a 500 GB hard drive.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] AlexTheStampede:
I think it's a matter of needs. For me the dock made the TF different from the other tablets and since I did want a netbook replacement it was a no brainer. However the Slider has a built in keyboard and if somebody has a need for a tablet to use with a keyboard... There you go, built in. No extra battery use due to the bluetooth connection, no cables for an usb one, less bulk than a keyboard dock, and you can't forget to bring the keyboard. Also being built in there isn't the issue of where to put that keyboard in a bag or whatever. Also it's lighter than the Transformer with the dock.

Couldn't care less about the Slider, but I see what other people with different needs and tastes could like in it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] diamantericos:
Personaly i dont like it. Its ugly i hate physical keyboards . At least with the tf101 i have a choice but it actually looks better with the dock. Than having a built in keyboard.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] w4rmk:
Got my slider today

I got my slider today from circuitcity.com, I went with them instead of NewEgg because they had cheaper overnight shipping. I have had it in my hands for a few hours and so far I am really liking it. I previously owned a Transformer and I can say that the screen on the slider seems better from what I remember, it's brighter and has better viewing angles. The build quality of the slider is very good and the keyboard typing experience is excellent. The size/weight is way better than then TF/keyboard combo.

The TF/Keyboard combo makes everyone think you are just using a netbook. All of my co-workers think I am using a tablet and when I slide it open their first response is "wow that's so cool!" For those of you bashing the slider my response is - thanks so much to Asus for thinking outside the box and giving us these unique tablet choices instead of the copy-cat slabs everyone else is making. The TF and Slider are 2 of most unique Android tablets currently available and you decide for yourself which best suits your needs.

Hey XDA - please start an Asus Slider forum for us :-)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] pdagal:
I have to say that one of the really cool thing about Android, both phones and tablets, is the choice of designs and features. It's already a very varied ecosystem, and I don't think the Transformer or Slider is "better", I think they're really two different designs that suit different needs and people.

I do agree the display is brighter on the Slider though, and it has less glare- though that may be influenced by the much maligned fixed slider angle that might just be well positioned to reduce glare. I have my TF and Slider side by side on the same table with the same desktop image, and the Slider is brighter and has a more neutral color bias.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jtrosky:
How is the keyboard on the slider compared the TF keyboard. let's fae it, the TF keyboard is really a netbook keyboard, so it's almost full size. The slider keyboard looks alot smaller. I think that I woul mis my trackpad too... Not sure yet though,,..
[Eee Pad Transformer General] pdagal:
The Slider's keyboard (as measured from the outer edge of the keys, not the entire deck) is the same width as the Transformer's. In terms of row height, you lose about 1/4 inch for the 5 row spread. The Slider also leaves out the Transformer Keyboard Dock's top row with dedicated controls for sound, media playback etc., which I'm not including in the measurement.

So the size difference of the keyboard itself isn't that big, but you do feel the lost quarter inch and have to adjust typing style. I actually manage the same WPM on both keyboards and for some reason find the Slider's a little more comfortable. But I've never really gotten along with the Transformer's keyboard, even though I typically use ultraportables with small keyboards.

As for the trackpad, if you really like using it, I'd imagine you'd miss it. I generally turn it off because it interferes with typing, but I do like to use it when working with Office docs because it's more precise than a finger on the touchscreen and quicker than using the arrow keys to move around a doc.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jtrosky:
Thanks for the info.... I think that I would miss both the trakpad and the special-function keys on the Transformer (which I use all of the time).

Does look like a nice tablet though!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Lunchbox115:
Hm, I don't think that the Slider is such uninteresting (ok, I'll prefer the TF too ;)), but the Slider will find people who want to buy this too.

But I think there won't be a big community for custom-ROMs and so on (ROMs from TF won't ffit, right?).
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ryanmc2033:
No, not the same, the keyboard is missing the touchpad, and the top row of function keys.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] uploder:
honestly i dont think the slide is bad. i might get one for my gf. shes not into modding , or rooting like me so this might be right up her alley. wouldnt it be funny tho if the slider DOESNT have the new sbk and can root with like superoneclick? lol :D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] w4rmk:
Having fun with my new slider! After day 2 I am loving the keyboard, it's very easy to type on and the form factor when closed is very good, it's so much lighter and easier to carry than the TF/Keyboard combo (which was too heavy). FYI it uses the same USB cable and charger as the TF, but Asus got smart and made the USB cable much longer. For some reason they ditched the folding prongs on the charger and they can't be folded anymore which is a bummer. I'm guessing that the folding ones were probably prone to breaking. I picked up a spare TF charger/cable at Office Depot ($29) so now I have one short cable and one long cable and one charger with folding plug and one with fixed plug. I'll use the longer cable and folding charger for my carry bag and short cable/fixed prong charger for keeping at home. Kind of works out to be a good mix.

Gratuitous body pic attached :-)

XDA - please give the slider it's own forum!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] spyderman33:
not getting why you need a trackpad when the screen is touch capable...

Maybe I am just dumb...

I picked up a Slider and received it yesterday and its awesome...

---------- Post added at 01:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:19 PM ----------

Looks sold out pretty much everywhere except here

http://www.excaliberpc.com/products/products.html?ch=&search=asus+slider
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jtrosky:
It's just a lot easier to use the trackpad instead of constantly having to reach up to the screen to do things... At least, that's what I've found... Certainly not a must-have (the trackpad), but it's nice to have as an option...

Although, to be perfectly honest, I usually use a laptop-sized bluetooth mouse, unless I'm somewhere where using a mouse is just not possilbe. I found that using the mouse is the best method when docked...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] w4rmk:
There are quite a few places with the slider in stock...

circuitcity.com has both the 16gb and 32gb mocha models in stock (that's where I ordered mine from because they have overnight shipping for only $21.80)

i just picked up a slider for 100bucks with a pocket WImax subscription. Hope a dev grabs one and goes to town on it though I'm loving it so far anyway. Can we at least get a subforum
[Eee Pad Transformer General] powerwalk:
I bought a Slider over two weeks ago from B&H, and think it's perfect for my needs. I would buy again. Only complaint is that the speakers are very weak.

Two thoughts:

1. Please give us our own forum

2. The forum, on this subject sounds a lot like the Apple fan boys bashing Microsoft. Asus made two excellent products, the Transformer and the Slider. Please let the actual Slider owners answer questions regarding the tablet.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] asdfuogh:
I get the feeling the slider would be a lot better if it was like a 6 or 7 inch tablet.. Then again, then it'd be a gigantic phone lol..
[Eee Pad Transformer General] brando56894:
If the Slider and the Transformer had come out at the same time I think I would have opted for the Slider. I had the TF for about 2 months without the dock and it was a geat device, but typing anything more than a sentence as a pain in the ass. I just got the dock a week ago and it's great to have the physical keyboard for typing and the mouse for accuracy, the extra battery is also a huge plus. I'm usually not away from an outlet for more than an hour or two so I could have done without it.

I do wish the TF had a slide out keyboard at times though since I liked that feature of my OG Droid. I didn't use it often, but when I needed it it was there at a moments notice. Sure popping the tablet in and out of the dock only takes a few seconds, but if you're laying in bed and you're charging the dock separately from the tablet and the dock is across the room, lazyness kicks in and you're like do I really want to get up and get the dock just to easily type 2 sentences? If I had the slider I could just pop the keyboard out, type the sentences and then hide it again. I thought I would really miss the trackpad on the slide but I've come to notice that I rarely use it on the dock and still use the touchscreen 90% of the time since scrolling webpages with the trackpad is awkward and the mouse doesn't work in any games (which I had hoped it would!).

I also think it's kind of stupid that there isn't a "recent apps" key on the dock, I'd gladly give up the home key for a recent apps key. Did they include one on the slider?

Edit: another thing I forgot to add, the added bonus of having the TF and the dock is that when it's closed up the screen is completely protected for (minor) harm.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jtrosky:
FYI - You can press Alt-Tab on the keyboard dock to see and switch between the recent apps...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] powerwalk:
" I also think it's kind of stupid that there isn't a "recent apps" key on the dock, I'd gladly give up the home key for a recent apps key. Did they include one on the slider?"

Yes, there's an icon on the bottom bar that shows, and brings up, all recent apps.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] hoshi411:
I'm liking the slider all except it can't be rooted yet.

Another big downfall is the speaker volume.

When talking on Skype I can barely hear anything.

Now that I understand about rooting android devices I would have gone with the transformer since they are both essentially the same product.

My only hope is that this product too will gain popularity and someone will root it.

It was my first android device so I didn't know.

[Galaxy S II General] Sleepycat3:
I was comparing the gps coordinates reported for the SGS2 and iphone 4 using gps status tools and found that they differ by about 15-17 minutes! 60 minutes is equal to 1 degree. On the map, that is close to about 50 meters which causes google maps to show me riding through the houses on the SGS2 where as the iphone 4 shows that I am on the road/railroad tracks. This is with both phones running side by side. The gps status tools were also reporting an accuracy of 5m and I had 11 satellites locked port of 12 in view.

Anyone else notice this? I am using the KH3 stock rom. Obviously it doesn't happen with navigation maps such as navigon as they snap your location to the nearest road.

Is there a way to calibrate the longitude and latitude readings on the SGS2 so that it closer matches the maps used on google maps?
[Galaxy S II General] pukemon:
If youre riding through houses, get a bulldozer. Haha. I have no idea to answer question

I voided my warranty and your mum.
[Galaxy S II General] bhaskersaxena:
could u find out a solution ???
[Galaxy S II General] MarkSkov:
It's just the way uncertainty works i'm afraid. There will always be an error associated with any timing of a GPS signal and this will lead to an uncertainty in the calculated position. Could try reading this, good a place to start as any:

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Experimental_uncertainty_analysis

Another thing people often question is why different devices report their GPS accuracy differently. This is usually down to the method used for estimating error more than anything relating to superiority of GPS implementations.
[Galaxy S II General] MarkSkov:
Actually looks like you're getting confused about coords also. One second of arc corresponds to around 30m, one degree is approx 111km.
[Galaxy S II General] bhaskersaxena:
what i was aware of is GPS could give me accuracy by 100x100mtrs, and that was done by purpose for some security reasons.....but my SGS2 GPS is 350 mtrs off, my actual location...so can i in any way calibrate it to correct location??
[Galaxy S II General] aceofclubs:
When I'm driving with navigon software running its spot on where I am on the road.

Would be hopeless if it was 100 metres out.
[Galaxy S II General] icarus1974:
Calibrating the GPS

I would also love to know if there's a way I can calibrate my GPS. When i'm sitting in my office, my GPS consistently shows me out in the trees around 50 meters out. Is there a way I can can calibrate my GPS to my current position?
[Galaxy S II General] goat_on_boat:
I had this exact problem - the GPS was off the mark, even factoring in the error.

I was on KH3.

I updated ROM and Modem to KI3 and it has fixed that. It locks on VERY quickly now.

I would suggest you try flashing a new rom + modem and seeing if that works.

Just wondering as id like to cram as much as possible on my Tablet!

Thanks
[Sony Tablet S] pokoedge:
No, I don't think the Sony Tablet will accept SDXC cards.

I believe the SDHC cards only go up to 32GB.
[Sony Tablet S] jkr284:
hmm, im hoping a case is designed that will fit 3-4 32gb sd cards in so i can take my movie collection with me then.
[Sony Tablet S] ps3taker:
There is a sony memory stick adapter not sdcard one which takes 2 microsds and makes them appear as one big one but i believe it is limited to 32gb. Does not help us but shows many things are possible. I noticed file expert app lists sdcard2 which is empty for me presumably because i don't have a physical one in yet, however it also lists usbdisk1 to usbdisk8 so maybe there will be some way of having sdcard3 etc or utilize usbdisks with sd adaptors. Hope it helps
[Sony Tablet S] GetPatriotized:
Wait,so you can store stuff on the SD card without transferring them? I thought it was just for file transfer? :S I read it on the official Sony site.

Can anyone confirm?
[Sony Tablet S] soultics:
You can store and play media off the SD-Card using the File Transfer app, it will only play one item at a time. The problem is that the native music/video apps will NOT scan the SD-Card slot for media, I believe this maybe just an error in coding, but I'm not knowledgeable enough in this area to more than speculate. I downloaded a 3rd party Music App and it showed that the tablet had 2 SD-Cards, the first was my actual storage (16gb), and the 2nd was the actual SD-Card (8gb). This is where maybe the coding is wrong and only looks at the first SD-Card, even though its technically not.
[Sony Tablet S] GetPatriotized:
Yikes! It's possible to be fixed in an update down the line right? I'm considering this or the Transformer :( and I really like the Tablet S. Matches my Xperia Play.
[Sony Tablet S] sixthday:
No. It is not a coding error. It is google / Sony's intention to limit the use of SD card. Just like Apple, you understand.
[Sony Tablet S] westbrand1:
It is possible to use SDXC cards as long as it is formatted by the tablet to FAT32(or on a computer). I am using a 128GB SDXC card without problem. I use Poweramp in order to view my music collection(45GB) and VitalPlayer Pro to play videos from the SD-card.

Sent from my R800i
[Sony Tablet S] westbrand1:
No its no joke, the problem is that the standard Gallery does not access the SD-card but I solved it by using QuickPic. QuickPic is a superb app that lets you specify which folders you want to view. I will try to make a Youtube to show what it looks like, probably on friday since I work long night shift now.

When it comes to Xperia Play I dont know but I guess it has microSD card slot? I know that some phones takes XC cards, among them is HTC Sensation.
