For some reason no you cannot flash cwm. Theres a ton of people posting on this and why it sends the tab into a bootloop. There are also multiple post on this forum and others where people are asking for the stock image due to this.

There is also a post where rooting instructions are clear and precise. One problem. The links are broken and no longer valid.

I do not further perpetuate anything. You may perceive it that way because you have the inability to look at a forest instead of a frikken tree.

I have stated enough times that I do understand that Android is an O.s. and that "droid" is a phone device produced by motorola, although I never mentioned moto.

Geez.. Also I stated in my OP that I bought the ipad2 for comparison. I do not want the ipad2 as I have invested way too much in market apps and gmail to start the wallet all over with apple apps. However, now that I have an ipad2, I dont hate it. It's a good machine. If that makes me bad then ok, whatever.

My first post was done largely abbreviated and maybe i didnt convey my points or angle well enough. I'll concede that but, I was typing on my samsung tablet and was just trying to get some action on the topic. The last thing I wanted was for someone to make it their mission to point out what was wrong line by line but, hey whatever.

Simply put just in case my original post was written ineffectively on my tablet. I am on my desktop now and the keyboard is much more effective than trying to type a letter on the tablet, let me reexplain my op.

Simply put,

I prefer the Android O.s.

I like the samsung tablet.

The memory, processor, flash, a million things I see potential in.

However, when I analyze something I also analyze as if or from a consumer standpoint and maybe not so much a dev. standpoint.

By this alone I think that the people/powers that be need to wake up and push the big boys like skype, netflix, etc... to make apps that will be compatible with the latest and greatest release of not only the O.s. but the hardware devices that come from HTC, Moto, Samsung, lg, etc....

In order to get mass appeal from consumers ****e is gonna have to work or people will opt for what does work.

Right now the samsung 10.1 wifi's only work netflix on some platforms not all.

Right now the samsung 10.1 wifis and lte models will not do skype with the front cam.. so no video on either side.

ALSO TRUE FOR XOOM

These are just 2 apps but, they are "THE" two apps that alot of people converting to tabs are wanting.

Contrary to popular belief most people buy tabs to eff off with. They are not hot like a laptop, they surf relatively well, but everyday consumers want to skype, netflix, check email, all of it.

They do not want to be in front of a desktop with their tablet hooked up via usb hacking and sacking the images, custom roms, etc... That is a few of which I am one of but, even I grow tired and frustrated when I brick ****e and screw it up but, really, just to get netflix loaded. No way man, I want to click and install enter my username and watch my son watch his movies.

Yeah its fun getting them working again but, with this thing.......It's all for nothing. I still dont have the full potential of this device because it simply will not do it.

Apple ipad2 does both of these out of the box with no trickery. Just search and download.

That may not be a problem for you as a senior member and expert at going thru the work of sideloading apps etc...... but, for mom at the grocery store. She's gonna pick what works with the click of a button.

Android devices and The Android O.s. developers are going to have to be compelled to make the ****e work on their devices if they want to take the sales to the next level. This is not my opinion at all. This is just fact. You can have a great hardware device and a sporty o.s. but, if there is no software available for it, or apps in this case then you have nothing and you certainly dont have buyers for it.

Ipad sales compared to android type tab devices are not even in the same universe. Ipad sales are smashing Android based tabs. Not because they have been out longer either.

Why is that? Well people are sheep for one! I get it but, how does Android smash Apple? Well they do it by #1 advertising, #2 being better (measurably), (which I believe they already are) , but they also have to, have to, have to, offer at least what the ipad will do and more.

Come on man, I'm not asking for the world here.

To be better when you are the underdog you have to be twice as good. NOt from a hardware standpoint but, from all of it. Cosmetics, function, hardware,cost,more apps, better graphics. etc...

Android has done most of this but, not all of it. The apps lacking in the market have got to catch up immediately or people will continue doing what they have been doing. Buying ipads

Again, this is what the post was about. You just think that Android and hardware is good now. Get them (the Android stiffs) the revenue stream that Apple has and then we will "really" see some cool stuff.

this may be the one negative about open source. If the people making the apps and the people making the devices, and the people making the upgrades to the O.s. are not all working together then Android will not be "THE" player, they will just be "A" player in the sea of other players.

I am also not demanding anyone develop for my specific tablet. I really dont care if they do or not. But, if that is the attitude of a tablet that is supposed to be "THE" tablet for the Android flagship right now, that's a bad attitude or stance for them to take when basic apps are not even offered or if they do they will not work. Not exactly how your gonna get susie away from the apple store. Again, this is simply about marketing, and retail appeal.

Develop, dont develop, the market wins only players lose.

On a personal note.

By the way, I have not one time condemned or attacked you. You have insisted on calling me names and being sarcastic to me each time you post. Please let me say that it was not my intent to offend you. This post was not about you or the fact that you help people or dont help people on this site.

I would like you to stop calling me ignorant and telling me to GTFO and such about an ipad, after I said that I was pro android.

I will say one thing about the comparison of the 2.

Apple kicks the samsung on two major things:

Keyboard does not lag on apple. I am always backspacing corrections on the samsung.

Apple has apps, our android market does not.

Now I'll compare the Xoom and The Samsung 10.1

I like the xoom better. At least netflix works on it.

However, skype does not so Apple still wins in flexibility of apps.

I like the hardware and acceleration of the samsung 10.1 over all of them.

I am not sure what gives on the keyboard lag? Sucks.

This is exactly why I placed in my original post that I was not hating on Android and I did not want personal attacks.

I am asking you to please stop. I am not interested in name calling.

Continue if you must but, I will not engage in calling you names.
