Liberty ROMs have been the best on all other phones I've used, so i got a liberty rom. Its only in beta for the bionic right now though and its not on this forum. You'll have to do a little google searching to find it. Its in an IRC chat somewhere but i cant remember where.

Based on just looking around the forums here, it seems Th3ory is pretty popular and there's a lot out for it.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mistawolfe:
A quick look in the development thread would have answered your question :)

Welcome.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Tivo7:
That's what I was thinking but I didn't want to be mean about it :P
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cjh6386:
I did look! I wanted some recommendations not a list :P

Ill look at the ones you pointed out. I'm really excited about this phone! My evo was starting to suck a fat one...
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cjh6386:
The battery is so malleable!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Tivo7:
Yeah I just ordered the extended battery for mine.

If you have 4G, that takes up a LOT of battery. You can go to Settings, Wireless Networks, Mobile Networks, Network mode.....then switch from CDMA/LTE to CDMA only.

CDMA = 3G

LTE = 4G
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cjh6386:
Thanks... I do live in orange county CA so there is ample 4g around me... perhaps I will keep that on but leave off the wifi if 4g proves to be fast enough.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cjh6386:
I was hoping cyanogen worked on bionic :[

[Motorola Droid Bionic] Tivo7:
It's faster than my internet at home. I often turn my hotspot on and connect to it even when I'm at home and just leave my phone plugged in cuz hotspot drains battery QUICK (at least until my battery gets too hot)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cjh6386:
First 4g test gave me about 3mbs up and down. Half signal.

Sure was easy to root this guy! Time to remove all the ****ware...

There are some apps (I use TeamBlackHat) that have a "Remove Bloat" button that automatically removes all bloat apps.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] dpakrr:
Hi guys, I was wondering which screen size is optimal for the GT - the 10.1 or 8.9?

I intend to use my tablet for content creation (docs etc) as much as content consumption. So would the extra 1.2 screen real estate make much of a difference?

Which one do you personally prefer and what are the reasons (easier to hold, more portable etc)? Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Tivo7:
The portability isnt much different since neither can fit in your pocket.

I like the bigger screen, its a more optimal tablet size in my opinion. (It's been said by others to be the "perfect size for a tablet")

The dev work for the 10.1 is MUCH greater (ROMs, Apps, Support).
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Bluemotion:
I haven't had a play around with a 8.9 but 10.1 will be much cheaper. And I read tons of uni research fairly easily on my 10.1

But then the 8.9 might have voice/dialer features. I much prefer 10.1 screen to the sony tablets smaller screen.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Picard_8525:
After seeing the 8.9 at Best Buy, I purchased the 10.1.

1.2" might seem negligible but IMO you'd enjoy more on the bigger screen (aside from the theoretically better screen quality of the 8.9).
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] dpakrr:
lol i had two tabs open, one with the 10.1 16gb wifi model and one with the 8.9 3g 16gb model. you guys convinced me to go for the 10.1 (plus the fact that its 200 bucks cheaper here lol). bought it, cant wait to receive it now. thanks!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Tivo7:
Sure thing bro.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
The 8.9 is actually cheaper, but not by much. As for the dialer, that remains to be seen. Video and articles from May said it was going to have a dialer but people that just bought them say it's either not present or inactive. Other than screen size and location of the speakers, the internals are the same between the two. I played with a 8.9 and own a 10.1. I liked the feel of the 8.9 but I like the bigger screen on the 10.1 as I use it a lot for video, surfing, and reading. I've been waiting for a 10.1 3G from the UK for over a month. They're receiving stock on Monday and it'll ship out the same day. All the 32GB & 64GB 3G's have been pushed back for over a month in the UK and units are just now being received from Samsung. They'll have the latest firmware. It'll be intersting to see if any updates were made that impact the dialer (or anything else for that matter).
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Bluemotion:
Oh I thought it would sellat a higher price. I think I read somewhere there was going to be a ridiculous markup especially for the UK (me). Regarding dialer update, I tend not to hold my breathe for manufacturer updates. But i would not mind being pleasantly surprised.:rolleyes::rolleyes:
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] aabritt:
I've had my 8.9 since Wednesday and I must say I am enjoying it better than I thought I would. Had the 10.1 Toshiba Thrive and returned it after a few days. Browser seemed alot slower on it and had a tendency to "hiccup" when scrolling. The textured back of the Thrive I feel in love with due to its easy grip, however after holding the device for an extended period because if its size began to feel very heavy and brick like. My Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 feels great, not to mention its easier for me to type than on a 10.1 screen. The additional 1.2 of real estate may not seem alot however for me anyhow it makes all the difference when typing.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] hazem77:
I actually replaced my 10.1 for 8.9, i like the 8.9 size, easier to hold in bed and on sofa and i think easier to type on with two thumps.... Portability was the main reason....
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] GadjetGirl59:
Same here, I like the feel of the 8.9, can hold with one hand and not tire. I also own the Acer 10.1 and compared to size, 8.9 is great.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] dragonkhan9:
hello!!

I just bought the 8.9 and I am delighted to 10.1 and me too much (the taste and color) I do not regret my choice at all
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ph00ny:
i just got rid of the 10.1 to replace it with 8.9 but i'm going to wait for the 7.7 instead
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] RuzaRoos:
I just got an 8.9 Friday. I held it at Best Buy and fell in love. I didn't need it at all since it became my 6th tablet (I have a problem, I know.); but I was so floored by holding it, I could not resist. I think how special this form factor is somewhat lost on people who don't own 10 inch tablets. I was completely dismissive of this product from looking at pictures and seeing it was not much smaller than the 10.1, but then I held it. The first thing that came to mind was Jobs' comment that the reduction in weight and thickness made the iPad 2 a categorically different experience from the original. I have an original iPad and have held many iPad 2's and never felt that way about them. I feel that way about the 8.9 in comparison to the other tablets I have.

My recommendation to anyone thinking about this product is to go hold one for at least 15-30 minutes. Change orientation a few times. Type on the keyboard in portrait orientation. If you plan on using your tablet on a surface with a keyboard case or dock, then get the 10.1. If you plan on holding the tablet on the couch or in bed, get the 8.9. It disappoints me that so many bloggers/journalists are treating tablets like flat screen TVs in price/size discussions but don't go into the nuanced discussion that even exists when choosing a TV size (room size, viewing distance, wall mount vs stand).

We'll see what the 7.7 brings to the discussion, but right now 8.9 is my favorite for holding. I use my original 7 as my phone so I don't really consider it part of the tablet discussion and the Galaxy Note seems better suited for phone duty. I don't think 7 is a compelling consumption or creation size unless you have the need to always have the device on your person.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] aabritt:
Thumbs Up For A Great Review...

I feel the exact same way. Thanks for the great review of this device. I fell in love with mine the moment I held it. It just feels right in the hands. With my Toshiba Thrive 10.1 (which I promptly returned to Best Buy), it got tiresome after a little while of holding it. The 8.9 is an awesome tablet as-is, but I know as soon as we get a dedicated forum and some of the most awesomeness and dedicated devs to take their time and crank out some of the hottest ROMS this Tab will become even better.

And you hit it dead on with the similarities to flat screens I myself have noticed how some have compared tablets to TVs. There's just no comparison because I sure as heck aint gonna hold my 42" flat screen in my hand and compare it to a tab...LOL.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] limingg:
I purchased the 10.1 too, but I sometimes feel it was heavy.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] bhowanidin:
Have you not seen my custom pockets that can fit anything up to 32" ?

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] bhowanidin:
Since I like to get more for my money (about $64 an inch) I chose the 10.1.

All jokes aside, I want the biggest screen I can get. It doesn't make any sense that smartphones are making screens bigger yet we want our tablet screens to get smaller. The 7.7 Tab just sounds ridiculous when compared to getting the GTab 10.1.

MODS - sorry for double posting, thought I was on the same post.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Jade Eyed Wolf:
Having had time using both, I ultimately went for the 8.9 3G. I can confirm for sure that does NOT have a GSM dialer (present inside root, but not active to the user). That said, it's not that big of an issue for me. Pairing up GroveIP with my Google voice works just fine for the odd tablet based phone call. Besides that, the 8.9 teamed up with my trusty SGS2 makes for a pretty fearsome combo on-the-go.

As for th 8.9 itself, it just feels better to hold in my opinion. It has a much more solid construction and premium feel. Browsing the web in portrait is such a joy, especially when thumb-typing is made just that little bit easier. Speaking of which, this whole post was typed up on my 8.9 ;)

The rubberized back of the 8.9 is awesome btw.

I will admitted that I was very tempted to wait for the 7.7 and/or the Note, but for now, I'm very happy with my 8.9/SGS2 duo.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] hoss_n2:
My galaxy tab 10.1 from Egypt has black rubbrized back also . and you are right it is much more better than the shiny cheap white back
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
The passion behind this debate is funny. We're looking at a difference of:

Height: 10.10 vs. 9.09 = a little over an inch

Width: 6.9 vs. 6.21 = 3/4 of an inch

Depth: Identical

Weight: 19.92oz vs. 16.57oz = 3.5oz (about 15% lighter)

The only physical differences are the placement of the speakers (reviews say the 10.1 is better) and higher pixel density on the 8.9 because of the same resolution on a smaller display.

I get that some people like the feel of the smaller Tab better but when you look at the stats they're not vastly different. A comparison between the 10.1 and the 7/7.7 makes more sense because there's a a major difference in the hardware specs and form factor.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] biggiestuff:
Definitely like the feel of the 8.9 over the 10.1. Although it's not that much different in size it makes a huge difference.

Landscape mode on the 8.9 I can touch my thumbs together and reach the middle keys better. On the 10.1 I have to use a split keyboard so I don't have to stretch out. If there was no split keyboard software out there I'd definitely be leaning more towards switching.

The 10.1 while lying on the couch gets tiresome to hold after a while but it's bearable. The 8.9 is so easy to flip around.

I definitely would like the 8.9 but since it's basically the same tablet as the 10.1 as far as performance I'm not making the switch.

Also there is no back Zagg for the 8.9 and i also own a zagg bluetooth keyboard case for the 10.1 which I use often enough to make me want one for the 8.9.

With the split keyboard software and the fact I have my 10.1 all accessorized already, I'll hold onto the 10.1 which is still a great tablet until the next gen of tabs come out. The 8.9 came out just a tad too late. Either way though. Samsung took my money :P
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Taskman:
Have not tested the 8.9 myself but I own the 10.1 and love it and using a Thumb Keyboard it do work great to write on.

Only thing I could argue with is that the bezel/frame around the LCD could be just a tad smaller other then that I'm very happy with it.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] DavidLD:
Any traditional typists on tablets?

There are posts in this thread on the subject about the ability to reach all keys on the keyboard in landscape mode being better on the 8.9, but everyone holds the tablet and uses the thumbs to type. Does anyone do traditional typing, i.e., using all fingers, on any tablets? I write a lot, and have used a tactile feedback full-sized keyboard on my desktops for years, and am quick. I have a rooted Nookcolor and, of course, find it impossible to type quickly or accurately on that device. I'm getting better at thumb typing, but my really old stubby fingers make lots of errors.

I really would like to all-finger type on my big tablet when I get it. I played with both the 10.1 and 8.9 at Best Buy, but it's impossible to get a good feel for typing ability at the store. My main concern about the 10.1 vs. 8.9 would be my ability to type fast and accurately. I feel that if it would be possible to use all fingers, the 10.1 in landscape would be the best. And no, an external keyboard is not an option. If I use one, I might as well use the laptop. Does anyone type this way on a tablet? Any thoughts?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] DBBGBA:
hey I had the same concern as you. I also needed something small and portable but my nook was definitely not being helpful with the extreme lag in the keyboard. When I went to best buy I was pretty impressed by the keyboard capabilities of this tablets with honeycomb so I bought the Samsung 8.9 mainly for the small size, also my hands are normal sized so the keyboard didn't

t feel too camped.

I'm actually writing this to you from the tablet as fast as I can so you can see any mistake or keyboard problems. I'm not going to edit it. The only problem so far I noticed is reaching the puctuation stuff. You also do have to look at the screen to make sure youre hitting the right buttons.

And there are also 2 other keyboards included with the tab that you can try out, maybe you prefer the layout of those.

I would say that if you take your time you can actually write without problems, its a huuuuge improvement over a rooted Nook.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
I just got the OEM Bluetooth keyboard yesterday. It adds surprisingly little bulk and works really well. For short notes and the like a s/w keyboard's fine. For document creation and business use you need a h/w keyboard. I have the keyboard dock too and it and the Bluetooth keyboard share a commom issue. When you initially select an area on-screen to enter text, the virtual keyboard pops up. There are multiple buttons on the physical keyboard to close it but it's annoying. I don't know if it's a Samsung or Honeycomb issue. I'll post some pictures of the Bluetooth keyboard in the accessories forum later.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] the-bink:
I also prefer the 8.9 (460 gram) over the 10.1 (595 gram). 10.1 tablet are just a little bit too big, especially the Transformer (680 gram). The 8.9 allows for perfect and easy typing in both portrait and landscape mode. Also I can hold both sides of the 8.9 in portrait-mode with one hand, which makes holding the tablet in the air much easier (and saver, as it will not turn into a Frisbee). The weight difference is very big, making the 8.9 much less tiresome to hold, especially compared to the transformer.

If you have poor eyesight the 10.1 may be better compared to the smaller 8.9. As you will have to hold the 8.9 closer to you face in order to be able to read the text.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Loccy:
8.9 for me.

I really feel like Goldilocks and the three tablets. I started off with an iPad and notwithstanding how pitiful iOS is, thought the thing was too big to justify carrying it over my Macbook Air, which was about the same weight and a lot more function. When it came out I nabbed a 7" GT - and at the same time my use case for a tablet had evolved to be at least 70% video consumption. On that basis the 7" screen was way, way too small. I switched back to the iPad and latterly an HP Touchpad in the recent firesale (which was a great device, HP really frakked that one up). The 10" 4:3 screen size was much more comfortable to watch stuff on, but I grew frustrated over how much screen real estate was wasted in the 4:3 form factor. When the 8.9 was announced I knew it'd be the perfect size - horizontally, it's the same width as the iPad and Touchpad, but it has the correct aspect ratio for video and thus is much, MUCH more portable. Am really pleased with the 8.9 - beautiful little device.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] dpakrr:
lol I started this thread and having had the 10.1 for over a week now, I can safely say that I dont regret it because I really can't imagine using a smaller screen than the 10.1. its perfect. I don't use the split thumb keyboard. I also like all-finger typing. I am using thumb keyboard but with the normal keyboard layout and its awesome.

yes if u hold the tablet for hours, your wrist will hurt but I would assume eeveryone would buy a case for their tablet. I bought the official Samsung book cover case and it let's the tab sit nicely on my lap in a nice position for typing and watching videos. similar to the smart cover for ipad 2.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Jade Eyed Wolf:
Personally I have the 8.9 and I'm loving it! Also I use all fingers to type on it with little issue. I'm using the Gingerbread keyboard available in the market, which, once you fiddle around with it to get the key sizes just right, is pretty fantastic! Also the native error correction is really sweet.

Now, that said, the idea of owning a 7.7" 800x1280 SAMOLED Plus display, and being able to make and receive GSM phone calls in a Honeycomb or ICS environment, just has me salivating! I would gladly sell my 8.9 tab for the 7.7" replacement, ESPECIALLY if the 7.7" tab includes Samsung's own updated Exynos SoC. That thing is a BEAST!

I used to own the original 7" tab, and that 7ish inch form factor is the sweet spot, for me anyway. The 8.9 is great, but it doesn't beat the portability of the ~7.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Matrix_19:
It is why the 10.1 is better,

the 8.9 won't give you more portability than the 10.1 AND it can't beat the 7.

so the 10.1 is a better deal :)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Jade Eyed Wolf:
Good point, but for me anyway, the 8.9 does have a much better build quality feel compared with the 10.1. Plus the screen is noticeably better.

Those were my deciding factors.

First of all, I don't have permission to post in the DEV forum, so I need to post it here. I'm trying to install Android on my Touchpad. For the life of me, I can't find the ACME installer download anywhere. I used the link on the Alpha thread but it downloaded some file that doesn't seem to be the installer. I've looked at all the instructions and readmes on the various threads but can't find a damn link to the file. I've even googled it and can't find it. I'm sure I'm missing something very simple so if someone could point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it.
