Looks really good. Waiting for your review :)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] tmaurice:
I tried this case. Returned it. Poor key quality construction - bad feel and layout. The space bar actually sits lower than the metal case edge, making the space bar practically unusable as your thumb constantly hits the case instead of the bar. Although the design is interesting, the case does not hold the Tab in place when closed. I was excited about this when I first saw it, but it's really not a good case.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] fixfox2:
Thanks for the feedback....

I'll post my observations when mine arrives.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] lxnyce:
Thanks, I was seriously thinking of taking the plunge and buying this case.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] lxnyce:
Did you receive yours yet? I would like to hear your observations.

I found this aluminum case on merit line : http://www.meritline.com/samsung-ga...keyboard---p-74785.aspx?strcoup=&dealid=26047

Only $38 shipped. Looks cool, but might just be the case discussed in this thread.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] fixfox2:
Mine should arrive early next week ( shipped from HongKong ).

What you have in the URL is the exact same keyboard/case.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] meWho:
fixfox2, any reviews on this keyboard? Hope to hear your thoughts. Looks very interesting .

Thanks!!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] fixfox2:
I have the keyboard now (It arrived much sooner than anticipated).

I'd like to use it for a while so my opinion about it is well formed.

I had low expectations (due to previous comments posted), but I can say it's much better (construction/quality wise) than previously thought.

I used an Apple wireless keyboard ( till I damaged some keys - too much detergent/water in cleaning it) so that will form the baseline for comparison.

I'll post an update soon.

update:

The typing experience is not good. As previously stated....

That about sums it up... and I agree 100%.

It looks really good and exciting when first seen.

The experience of using it however, is really poor......

The spacebar is simply not accessible due to the way the thumb gets obstructed by the raised edge.

It's as thought no one tested the keyboard after the first prototype was produced.

or they expected it to be used with a few fingers only.... without resting one's palms.

You'll get tired easily with this, even if you manage to adapt to using it.

My girl bouth this phone and we dont know how to take photos. In one way we know, but in other - no. It says press camera button and slowly push screen from left to right or smth. We dont understand :D
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flo95:
Open the camera app by clicking om the app or long pressing the camera button. Then just tap on the screen or press the camera button to take the pic.

Really easy...
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lord Takyon:
He mentioned sweeping left to right so I assume he means that 3d junk.

It just takes practice mate. You need to experiment with the speed more than anything.

Sent via subspace beacon from my Arc.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flo95:
Or use the panorama app for X10 for that.

Works great, but I forgot from where I got it.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] im_iceman:
for the panorama app you have to move the phone from left you right.. at the right speed..

For normal photo's you either press the camera hardware button.. or switch "touch" on so that you can just touch the screen where you want it to focus and take the shot.

Suspect though.. that this might suit you better.. HERE..
[Verizon Droid Charge] hogowner:
All of a sudden my laptop does not connect to my phone....I tried a numbe rof things...I reinstalled the drivers.....etc...

is there something I am missing?

WHen I connect....the battery charges.....but I do not get anything in the drop down notifications bar...I rebooted puter also...

this happened all of a sudden.....was able to connect before...

I did try other usb ports also

thanks in advance
[Verizon Droid Charge] Dalamar1320:
What about a different cable?
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
what rom/kernel were you running when it happened? as asked before have you tried a different cable? is USB debugging mode checked under development settings? if it is uncheck it and try connecting then do vice versa... also can you try and connect to another pc if possible, that can help determine if the problem's with the phone or the pc

edit: also again if possible can you take the cable you were using and connect another smartphone or device to your pc, then to a second pc as well? this should rule out the cable if it works

[T-Mobile LG G2x] dokjon:
Please bear with me i'm a noob.

I got my G2x with stock rom 2.2 Froyo and then rooted and flashed it without updating it to Gingerbread... I,ve tried CM7, Weapon, and now on Eaglesblood. None of them would let me use voice search without crashing..it will recognize what i say but as soon as i pick a selection from the list it force closes.. and some of the phone settings i try to access will also crash on me.

Is this because i've never updated my phone to GB before root/flash? Was i supposed to? I actually tried updating it with LG updater after root/flash (weapon at the time) and bricked it.. so im not going thru that again.

Thanks in advance!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] SefEXE:
Well for voice search... Have you tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it?

As for the rest of the phone, maybe a cache and dalvik cache wipe?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jamadio:
I'm not trying to patronize you, but you have stated that you are new to this, so I'm going to ask the following.

Between flashing new ROMs, did you:

Perform factory reset.

Wipe the dalvik cache.

Wipe cache.

Format /system.

This is not something you need to do everytime (Like when upgrading from one version of CM7 to the next), but is recommended (Especially going from the broad range of ROMs you went through).

If you haven't done the following, I recommend doing that first, then coming back should you still need to troubleshoot. MANY issues can be fixed simply by starting with a clean slate.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dokjon:
Yes, i have factory reset, wiped cache n dalvik, and formatted system between flashes. Im going to try reinstalling it now.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
Voice search works on my 2.3.4 roms. They are not anything special, but lean, fast and stable.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] dokjon:
So... I just tried reinstalling voice search to no avail. I uninstalled it first and then booted into recovery to wipe cache and dalvik. Now, what I noticed was that when I select wipe dalvik cache, it gives error log "E:unknown volum for path [/sd-ext]." but when I press Yes to confirm the wipe, it says "dalvik cache wiped." I'm not sure if it's really wiping dalvik or not... Well, I installed voice search again and it still force closed. :(

I will try out your rom! :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Joe333x:
People actually use voice search? I used to try but i always found it was faster to just type because it never knows what im saying.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jamadio:
The dalvik cache wipe is working, it will always say that unless you've wiped your SD card with CWM. Since there shouldn't be a need to, it's not a problem and shouldn't be a factor in your situation.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dokjon:
I would like to use it when I'm driving around.. and it's annoying to knowingly keep a feature of phone that won't work
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
It actually works amazingly well now. It is almost eery how accurate it is.

Hi! I got WP7 Mango installed on my old HD2 and I found the default mango wallpaper wonderfull, and I would like to get it on my Sensation, I got a picture from the Gallery but it's not the full wallpaper, I tried to install a file explorer but no way :-/

So, if anyone successfully extracted the WP7 Mango Wallpaper I'm interested ;)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] Tableuraz:
Anyone? Wanting to help?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] anseio:
Are you talking about the wallpapers that come up in the Sample folder? When they're wallpapers, they're cropped. Otherwise, they're normal size images. After syncing, I have a folder on my computer called "sample pictures". It has the photos, like the one of the mangoes, in it.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cozzykim:
I've noticed that the mediocre rear camera quality on my TF is partly due to the poor autofocus, especially when the focus point is near infinity e.g. beyond about 20 meters

As the camera auto focusses it passes through the sharpest focus point and settles at about 10m,or even closer.

I haven't found any other threads/posts in the TF forum about this, has anyone else noticed it?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] GFZ:
Thank you!

Hi Oberth,

Thank you so very much for the hard work and effort to put something together for this fantastic tablet! We have been hoping to see some english rom's being put together for some time but the fact that this is Android 2.3.4 with all the tweaks and best bits of previous rom's is excellent!!

Will be flashing your rom shortly and report back...

update: flashed and so far so good!

- Huawei E1750 3G dongle tested with Virgin UK Sim and all working.

Also will be uploading you rom to our website which may be found in the download section of the Ainol Novo 8 webpage.

(unable to post a link yet as need more posts)

Kind Regards

gadgetfreakz.co.uk
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Oberth:
Thanks for the feedback

I actually bought my tablet from you guys through your ebay shop under the user id thedaybeforetomorrow was most pleased by the service.

Thanks for the offer to mirror and I hope the rom performs as it should, as not everyone can/will download from rapidshare I would like to add the links for your Novo 8 page to my first post here, my mp4nation thread and my blog.

Over at MP4 I have had some feedback regarding the market, while fully functional some have complained of the speed (mainly to do with the markets new design rather than tablet performance) so I am considering for the next release maybe offering both the older 2.xx style market and new 3.x market as separate firmware downloads so people can choose. Both the latest version I have used and the older one seem to see the same amount of apps visible so it's mainly a personal preference.

Just seen your test with the 3G Dongle, going to update here there and everywhere :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] GFZ:
wow, small world!

thank you for your custom and delighted to hear you are pleased with the service :)

will be testing further over the next few days, for some reason we did notice that the initial firmware form Ainol played 1080p files flawlessly then slowly playback became worse over following updates although other features/fixes had been implemented.

all mentioned above seem to be as you stated regarding the initial power up and blank screen. can't say we experienced the power button problem yet, works as it should.

the new market is indeed sluggish as with other tablets, a quick search for skype didn't show the main application as most likely with some others that you have mentioned. apart from the sluggish launch, the new market design is not so bad, personally prefer it now being used to it.

Ainol did advise an official firmware was due soon, maybe a mix of that and the firmware's you have worked with will give us an even greater improvement.

loving the honeycomb boot animation!

keep up the great work, will have the firmware link etc added shortly.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Oberth:
The playback issues in the later firmwares linked to the AC3/DTS license not being installed or disabled entirely so playback did get worse.

Can I ask you to re-download the firmware in the first post. I tidied up the readme.txt for readability. nothing else is changed.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] GFZ:
sure no problem at all, we have uploaded the firmware to our novo 8 pages download section and provided link to the firmware and to this page at xda.

will download new file and replace the one we have on our server.

thanks again:)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Oberth:
Thanks for that I have added your page to the links section where ever this is posted and edited my blog to mention where I bought it from.

Can I ask if you could change the name from Oberth to Nebular Nerd on your page, just matches up with the blog then. My user name from here was from years back and I wish you could change it. Part of why I edited the readme was to aka the names :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] GFZ:
will do :)

may be in touch soon regarding some ideas we have that may be of interest.

thanks again
[Miscellaneous Android Development] teliosan:
Man, this is great!

Thank´s a lot!

[Miscellaneous Android Development] kinterinho:
Hello from Spain

First of all, congratulations on your work with the tablet Ainola.

I wanted to ask if you know when it will be available in Spanish.

Thanks for everything.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] GFZ:
I just checked and Spanish language is not included, maybe something for the next release :)

Languages included are: English (Australia / Canada / New Zealand / Singapore / UK / United States) & Chinese.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kinterinho:
Thanks, I'll try to see how it goes anyway.

But if you can include it in the next version, would be welcome here in Spain.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] GFZ:
That would be down to Oberth aka Nebula Nerd but don't believe it would be that hard to do, i'm sure he will let us know :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Oberth:
Additional Languages

Hi kinterinho,

I shall have a look into adding additional languages into the firmware and see what that requires. This beta was released with only Chinese and English language files built in but I may be able to borrow some from another rom.

The only thing that might present a problem is if LauncherPro refuses to change all it's options to Spanish in the same way the default Chinese one would not become fully English when you changed the language. I shall have to experiment and see :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] rezza.dh:
Cheers for the update, having a few issues.

Iplayer app now apears to suck goats since using this ??

any ideas ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] GFZ:
Hi, I think you will find the BBC iPlayer app has always had issues.

Playback should be fine via the browser, this firmware plays iPlayer via stock browser although previous firmware required dolphin browser hd.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kinterinho:
I appreciate you try it. In Spain would do well to include also the Spanish language. :)

I read on the post to see if there are any changes.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Oberth:
iPlayer is indeed pretty poor.

Yep confirming GFZ's post, it will play with the stock browser set to mobile but quality is pretty poor. I remember it running better on one the original stock roms. It could be one of a few things.

- Bug in the firmware with flash, although Youtube works through the various browsers ok. You can't use the Youtube app for comparison as it's not flash driven.

- Could be a VM Heap issue with it taking up to much space (need to play with that and see)

- Could be the higher dpi on top of the higher res causing the poorly coded app lots of effort in the upscale, dropping to the original 192dpi might cure it at the expense of fuzzy text and icons, again I need to test, not sure if dpi switchers play nice with this rom so you could at least hop between them for different tasks.

- I might try embedding it in the rom as well, The Youtube app hated being added to the tablet post flashing and performance was poor but ran just fine after being flashed in.

The problem with iPlayer for Android was that it was released only after a lot of complaints from the community at large about them only supporting the iThings. BBC were not really wanting to make it but cobbled something together just to shut people up.

Quick edit: Hit the settings button and drop the quality to low in iPlayer seems to play the same as in Browser. Not ideal I know, looking at it more closely it seems to be a buffering issue as you get a few smooth seconds and then it all grinds to a halt.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Oberth:
Multilanguage support

Hi kinterinho

I have been looking into and reading up on how Android handles multiple languages and it looks like it not something easy to do as it's not a case of adding files but adding stuff into the files and given the differences between roms especially 2.2 and 2.3 ones I imagine a cut'n'paste job wont do it.

However I have the beginnings of an idea, it needs some work combined with a recent opportunity that has come my way so I can't promise anything but watch this space.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kinterinho:
Thanks so much.

You guys have you had a difference in the battery and wifi over 2.2?

In principle, more or less the same.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] GFZ:

Wow an actual upgrade you can flash Great Job

Will this work on the Novo 7 as well

Thank you brother!!!!! You just saved my Novo8!!!!!! Did you see this: http://source.android.com/ ?

Is it possible to adapt it to Novo8? Thank you!!!!!

[Miscellaneous Android Development] GFZ:
Source Code Available for Android 4.0

this is good news! ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Oberth:
Replies to various things

Hi everyone,

Sorry I've not been on for a day or two but Real Life™ matters needed urgent attention.

jerrymneal:

As mentioned by GFZ the Novo 7 and 8 are quite different, I am looking at the Novo 7 firmware however Ainol have packaged it up in a protected image so I have not yet been able to pull the image apart. I kind of know who makes the software but need to find the developer tools to see if we can do anything there.

gleam2003:

I would be interested in knowing what you changed/added to add languages please pm me on that one.

Source for 4.0:

I saw this today and got all excited myself. I shall say it's above my current skills but I have played around compiling from code on and off over the years so I will be taking a look. No promises that anything will come of it so please do not fill the thread with requests for release dates.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gleam2003:
I just disassemble the app with xdaAutoTool, and add res/xml-XX folder for all language. I take this traduction files from RAmos W12 2.3.4 system app, tablet similar to Ainol Novo 8.

Thats all.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] MrRimmer:
Battery Life etc.

Any word on how this is affected by the move to 2.3?

I looked at the Novo 8 a while ago but the main things that put me off were reports of grainy screen, poor battery life and lack of Bluetooth support in the firmware.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] lanegra:
What is the app into the rom that contains the different languages​​?

Thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gleam2003:
All apps in the rom have only english and china language
[Miscellaneous Android Development] buggatti:
Screen

Hi

The novo 8 screen is kinda grainy/oily/weird. I have noway of explaining it. are all novo8 screen like this or smt is wrong with mine

Thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dijonemon:
Really tempted to get one of these, mainly because this ROM is available.

Can any of you using the custom ROM, say if the following apps work OK (I use these on my Android phone, and will need to work on any tablet I buy). Not bothered if I have to install these manually, or via the official market, as long as I can install them!

Tweetdeck,

Google+,

Kindle for Android

Also its been mentioned that Dolphin HD, Facebook, Skype don't appear (in the market). Is this down to the DPI setting? I have had this on my phone, when I set the DPI too low.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Oberth:
I shall give those apps a try

Can't see any reason for them not too, everything I throw at it works fairly well aside from the odd game (mainly Tegra ones)

Will let you know how it goes.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] daniel.eriksson:
First thoughts!

Positives:

great with english stock

better wireless reception

keyboard seems more responsive

better dpi (fits more shortcuts on start screen)

youtube app installed and working fine

market

installed and working

does not contain skype

does not contain dolphin browser

Negatives:

Power button issues. It doesnt always turn off when you hold the powerbutton.

I like to have my screen always on, so i disable screen timeout. Having this feature, you can never turn off your device. If you let it time out 30secs, "power on, unlock screen", and immediately after power off , it seems to work much better.

feature request:

- possible to have it directly power off when holding button for 3s+? now theres this wide bar you click, and THEN you select ok.. isnt that kinda overkill? 3s should be enough? thinking to save power you know.

- Possibilty to completely power off when plugged in with external power.

- When power off, possibility to add charger WITHOUT it powering ON.

If you cant. thats fine. :D just minor nags for me.

Extremely good job. i hope Ainol will send you a huge paycheck one day.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Hgshgs:
I received my Novo 8 last week, and when I saw this thread I got really excited. Thanks so much for this custom ROM, Novo 8 with this ROM is just perfect. Here in Brazil tablets are way overpriced, Novo 8 with this ROM is just like those, or even better, for a quarter of their price. No bugs for me, just the power off message that appears sometimes, but it´s not bothering at all.

I really don´t care if the ROM don´t have my native language (pt-br), english + morelocale2 is OK for me.

Something that might be usefull for other users is that is possible to get adhoc support using ZT-180 Adhoc Switcher by HAL9000. Very good for tethering my phone's 3G to the tablet.

Thanks again for your efforts in this ROM, it´s great.
