2- get a rom and those reboot options are in it and in toggle options too.

5- get google music and a rom and thats fixed too

6- get Titanium backup and get the donators copy not the free one, with the paid copy u can freeze items. Once u get to the market u want go into titanium backup and look at ur batch list and freeze market updater, DONE! And it will stay i used to do that when i had themed markets.

8. I use zeam launcher and it lets u pick which directions u want ur icons to show also if u fix permissions in root u can get transparent app list BUt also in zeam launcher settings without doing that u can make it transparent also if u dont want to go the first route.

best keyboard options swype or swiftkey!

hope that helps

9. You can search for keyboards on the android market. There are some really nice ones out there. I hated the stock keyboard and am using iphone keyboard emulator at the moment
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sgastel:
Did the same

I did the same I had a Sensation and due to a kid breaking his phone I purchased a Samsung Galaxy S 2 and thought my wife was going to take it. Instead she said she wanted my sensation! Me being a good guy I let her have it. (my wife is hot, what am I to do?) I use to have a Vibrant and was really not looking forward to what I got myself into but to my surprise things actually worked for the most part! Between the wife and I we have gone through the G-1, Vibrant, MT3G Slide, Sensation and now the TMSGS2 and I must say it is hands down the best phone I have owned to date. So if you really like Sense and like to almost hear your music and videos then go back to the Sensation or get the Amaze. I hated Samsung after the Vibrant experience but looks like they just won me back as a customer because this is a great phone!!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Nachtswerg:
Thought I'd post a contrary opinion (based on many of the threads here and on other sites).

I REALLY like my NT! I've come up Handsprings, Palms, Pres, and iPads, so this isn't my first visit to the rodeo. Currently, I've got the NT and a Sprint Evo 3D.

Yes, out of the box there's some gaps, but a bit of time here and other forums have offered suggestions on side-loading, sync'ing my Evo apps, and tweaking the KT. It's not the end-all-and-be-all pad,but for the price, it does well.

The biggest issue I had was the lack of offline media, since I spend 12-15 hours a week in the air. However, a bit of cross-syncing and I've got my Amazon MP3 library and a couple of pretty good media players.

Am I missing things? Well, I'd really like bluetooth for my freedom keyboard and being able to see my side loaded apps from the main launcher would be nice, but at this moment, I'm finding the KT to be a fine investment.

Oh, and I have moved my new media purchases over to BN. I figure tossing them some bucks only encourages them to keep Nook development going.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] silvere2:
I'm really happy with mine too. Its super snappy, feels much more polished than the nook color did. Plus I love reading and reading is an absolute pleasure on this thing.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] VityaSmith:
I absolutely adore my NT, granted its my first tablet, but its ridiculous how much i can do with it for the price i paid. Not to mention it hasnt even been rooted yet!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] preppyr6:
Ok, I have to ask because I keep seeing things go back and forth:

If one could get a NC or NT for the same price (hypothetically), which would they choose? The rooted NC? Or the "upgraded" NT?

I currently have the NC and I can get my gf to get me a NT for christmas bc she wants my NC. Is it worth the trade?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Nachtswerg:
Well, since I haven't found too much I couldn't do without a touch of effort, I'm not feeling the pain of not being able to root. Sure, it may come later, but, yeesh, I've only had the NT for 3 days!!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] silvere2:
The nook tablet. The difference in speed alone is worth it, the nook color felt underpowered to me even rooted.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lanceot:
Ditto.

On paper, the specs are simply hardware upgrade...this much B&N got it right. In reality, it makes the the device more responsive and more enjoyable user experience. The jerky delay in NC drove me nuts.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] bkerk25:
I have owned the xoom, asus transformer, galaxy tab 10.1, htc flyer and got rid of them all. The one reason? The tegra 2 processor. These devices were hamstrung in the video playback department, a fundemental functional of a media tablet. The NT plays the same hd media files i couldn't on these high end devices FLAWLESSLY. If you ask me this alone makes the nook tablet worth it.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] koreanschoolkid:
My tablet history has been:

Viewsonic Gtab (Awful. Just awful. Don't ever even look at one)

Nook Color (1.1ghz OC and still slow to my tastes)

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 (The designer of the Tegra 2 should be impaled as punishment)

Nook Tablet (It does what I wanted except run Google stuff)

What I had wanted was to watch 720p shows in bed or plane or between classes. NT has been the only thing that could do that except my phone (SGS Fascinate).

Even without a root ever coming to be and having to deal with sideloading I still think this is the best tablet I have ever owned. And it's made by a damn bookstore >.>
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Drewmungus:
There some flaws but I bought it mainly for browsing the internet. It really excels at that! I have mainly been using dolphin, not the stock browser. Overall I am extremely satisfied with my purchase. I was at Best Buy today and checked out the kindle fire. It was cool but I really didnt like size of it. I have big hands and like how now matter how i hold my nook its always comfortable. The only thing I really want to change is the crappy keyboard

About the not seeing sideloaded apps, I installed go launcher. From there I use a combo of widget locker, Wave launcher(right side of the screen), and button savior( left side of the screen). I also learned to fear the nook button. I havnt seen the stock nook launcher in over a day now.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] koreanschoolkid:
I have noticed that using the n button in certain situations (ex: during video in MX Player, certain games) it acts as a back button. Don't fear the n just treat it like a very "special" friend.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rvr350:
I've driven twice to a B&N store and played with the device. As of right now, I still haven't taken the plunge because of three big reasons:

1) I need a web browser that can let me access an Extranet of my work place, and when I used the NT stock browser, the login page button doesn't even show up as a button, but just a jpeg. I know using the Android stock nameless browser, it isn't a problem at all. So it's a huge issue for me.

2) Even if I can get the web browser issue resolved, I am fearful how B&N has the unilateral ability to update the NT without our consent (unless specifically block B&N incoming traffic), we'll lose the ability to sideload and send us back to stone age. (It wouldn't be an issue if root is accomplished)

3) The 1gb user content space wouldn't an issue if we can root it, but now it seems like a huge deal. (Again, it wouldn't be an issue if root is accomplished)

Are my concerns legitimate? I firmly believe the NT could be huge, but right now, we just need to be patient and let our devs gurus find an exploit, or somehow we can get B&N to loosen up the grip on the bootloader.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] silvere2:
Well, issue 2 is definitely legitimate. Issue 1, just go to the store and install dolphin on one of their nooks, see if you can login to work.

Issue 3, if the rumors are true that they will be able to repartition the space in a week or so then, well, not an issue.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rootfan:
if the nook tablets bootloader is truly locked, then say good bye to ever, ever seeing a beautiful custom kernel on the nook tablet to perform tweaks such as overclocking. This also makes it difficult to create custom roms. cyanogenmod 7 is a possibility with 2nd init. cyanogenmod 9 is also a possibility, but unless official ics is dished out to the nook tablet, then we will get cyanogenmod 9 2nd init with gingerbread libs.:(. Someone should send a rather nasty note to barnes & noble about this.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] e.mote:
Re: 1GB usable - It's a legitimate support issue. You (and everyone concerned) should call support and light a fire.

Front-line grunts won't be able to help you (a good thing), so ask to escalate it to as high as you can go. Your first response will be to get the tech's name. Your last response will be, "I'm sorry you can't help me with this issue. Please refer me to someone who can. If no other tech is available, please let me speak to your manager."

Don't get discouraged if you get blown off or hit a dead-end. Redial and retry. Social engineering is about patience and persistence. Always be polite, but firm.

Once you get to someone who knows his bits and bytes, then soften your tone and get friendly. Talk shop. Use the occasion to ask about other techy things, like, eh, locked bootloader. Get whatever info you can, including the dude's extension number so you can call him back.

The strategy is to leverage a legitimate support issue to get info about the things you really want to know. To do that, you'll have to troll their support services, and have some social engineering skill. It's probably best done in a team, but you can be the Lone Ranger if you're good.

BTW, techsupps have scripts, and you should have one as well. Plan everything you want to say in advance, and type them out.

Anyway, at the very least, you will get the 1GB issue logged and escalated.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jimmysuggs:
I honestly don't think they're going to bother blocking this loophole. There's really nothing in it for them but bad press. Currently they can sell a tablet to regular folks, while at the same time offering a tablet that's also appealing to techie types (but without having to advertise it). There's really no advantage in blocking the loophole.

Also I'm wondering: is there NO way to block updates from Barnes and Noble? No way to tell the device to notify before actually updating? I understand that B&N will push out updates without any warning, but isn't there a way that WE can decide to accept them or not? Or is it really just totally out of our hands?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] roustabout:
to whooever it was who thought the HTC flyer was running a tegra 2: it's not. It's a 1.5 ghz single core.

So far, the t2 seems fine in conjunction with mx video player and the software decode on the things I've tried it on. but I'm not mostly using a tablet for video, so the fact that a PAL formatted disc image I have makes trouble is ok by me. I will say, though, that the single core chip in the Samsung media player seems faster than the t2 or the (admittedly brief) run I took at an NT this evening. I didn't walk out of BN needing desperately to replace my NC, though - manual nooter, 1.1 ghz kernel, seemed relatively comparable to what I saw, but I wasn't ready to actually test carefully.

The NT is rooted as of today, via zergrush. This should make it possible to redo the partitioning. The bootloader's another issue; I don't know if anyone has tried looking at putting the little guy into fastboot and seeing if oem unlock is an accepted command. It may be. Unlocking it may turn off Netflix support, but it should open up avenues for complete custom ROMs.

On blocking OTA updates: probably fairly simple. D/l the OTA and look at the build id strings in build.prop. Update build.prop on your device accordingly. I've blocked the 1.3 update this way, and it works great.

It will probably not work cleanly for blocking the 1.4 update, though, if that's a Gingerbread update, since to get the block you probably have to tell the device not just that it's running the current BN build, but that it's also running a Gingerbread vintage OS - but I don't know about that.

There are some sqlite hacks for blocking updates as well - setting an autoupdate flag to "false," basically. I'm not sure how well they work, but blocking the update is always a topic of discussion immediately after one's released and no one's figured out how easy it is to pop yet :)

My real question on the NT is whether it contains a complete recovery image. Very few Android devices are as idiot-proof as the NC. Most of the "recovery" modes I've seen don't offer the ability to return the device to a true stock state. The NC, at least, is fully recoverable.

To me, that makes the NC one of the most useful Android platforms out there, and if the NT can't do that, then it's not really much of an upgrade for me -- I screw things up. Often. Badly.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] RussianMenace:
I'm fairly certain that it does have a full recovery image imbedded somewhere. Yesterday I tried in stalling Chainfire (which apparently messes with the filesystem) in order to get full access to the GPU and fool the market, making all apps show up. After installing it, which required a reboot, my NT went into a boot-loop. I could not power it off and with no recovery available I thought I was toast and out of $260. However, after many (10?) failed boots it automatically went into Factory Reset mode and did a complete wipe.

I'm not sure how deep of a tailspin this recovery can get you out of but there is definitely a safety net there.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] teekz:
I have to agree with the OP. I am very happy with my NT. It is very snappy and with the ability to sideload apps I have been able to fill in what I feel was missing. Battery life on this is very good. I did buy this hoping I could boot off an sd card, but if it ends up not possible I will still be pleased with my investment.
[Android Software Development] C4rlos1337:
i'm trying to install a new fw,Uberoid,i do all the recommended steps and this ****,only power on a green led when pressed,the reset button only power off the tablet.... what i do??????
[Android Software Development] AmericanDane:
Not nearly enough information to know what your issue is. But, my first advice would be to go with Modroid v11 and READ the entire readme.txt file and make sure you get that greenled file for your screen.

You will need to know something more about your M009. Does it vibrate? Does it have 2 pt touch?
[Android Software Development] Wdconta:
Hey mano!!(rsrsrs)

what´s model´s tablet, you see www.globalizados.com.br?
[XPERIA X8 General] El Brillantinas:
Well, we know that our X8 is near to end its life cycle. With the new double-cored smartphones (and soon quad core!), X8 won't last much longer, mainly because we do more and more things with our phones as they evolve, like playing heavier games, taking HD videos, Sweep panorama, 3D, music beats technology (for now only with HTC phones but I don't doubt that other brands will also offer it in their phones soon) etc. etc.

Of course we have made our X8 a great phone with custom ROMs, like GingerDX (wich I use and I won't switch for now, I love it); I remember that when Gingerbread was about to be released, they said that it would be only possible to install it on devices that had 512 of RAM or higher... And thanks to the wonderful works of devs and several of you, we can use it in our X8.

So, the first question is: What are the real posibilities of having an Ice Cream Sandwich ROM in the future for our X8?

And second: Will you change your phone just to be updated and get Android 4.0 or will you stick with your X8 no matter if you get ICS or not?

My answers are (even if nobody cares haha): 1. I think devs could achieve to design an ICS ROM for X8, of course with a really hard work and dedication. Nothing is easy, neither impossible.

2. I don't know if I could get Xperia Neo in December. If I don't get it, then I'll wait until the next new SE devices (I'm kinda fan of SE). I'm checking the code named Nozomi and looks marvelous, the only thing I don't like is its big screen... Since I've using X8 Im starting to love small screens!
[XPERIA X8 General] proadi96:
No i will not switch because i cant afford that, im only 15 ;DD
[XPERIA X8 General] Chris95X8:
I'm 15 too but I will get a Galaxy Nexus as a birthday present. 25 Dec. LOL
[XPERIA X8 General] - Swift -:
Yep, 25th of December for me!

That's if I ask for one....
[XPERIA X8 General] fifo171:
i hope we will have ics port for x8, there is one port for htc hero already:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1352149

and here is video of hero running ics:

[XPERIA X8 General] josip-k:
If its possible on hero then its possible on x8.but,we dont have any developer to make it...
[XPERIA X8 General] skyboyextreme:
i guess ics will be too much for the x8's ram !!

with gingerbread we only had like 20mb of free ram most of the time....
[XPERIA X8 General] - Swift -:
I get 40mb ram free with Speed Booster Lite :D (it cleares system cache)
[XPERIA X8 General] lotus13:
i have 70 mb available every time with Gc8.
[XPERIA X8 General] codfreak:
I don´t care about the X8 getting ICS or not, as most of the features won´t be available on our low-end device.

ANd I also think if we get it, it will be slow, or at least take ages to be fsmooth like GB (especially GDX) now.

My contract with my provider ends next summer, and then I´ll search for another one with better phones (as the best Android phone my provider offers only has a 800MHz-single-core CPU).

I won´t buy any SE phone, because of the (IMO) ugly UI and the not-updating of older devices (I´ll also flash custom ROMs on my next phone, but developing custom ROMs of new Android versions is, as you all know, easier, if you can use the libs from the stock ROM.

Maybe I´ll buy a HTC because they have good-looking phones with good specs and beautiful HTC Sense.
[XPERIA X8 General] match_stick:
Yes HTC allday! Im still hoping for HTC salsa 2.3 to get fixed... not too bothered about ics on x8, il probs have a new phone to accommodate that in the near future...but I do recommend to anyone who likes HTC style Rom to try this beast out...

http://pashkovsky.com/x8/roms/salsa-sense-0.15.rar

Known bugs - wifi/mobile data, vibrate, 3d, camera. I'm hoping there's a dev out there who can make this work one day :-)

Thanks to racht for this one :-)
[XPERIA X8 General] AntwnhsAnt:
Well, I don't really want ICS on my X8 because it would be laggy and not for everyday use. It would be nice for testing though.

I'm planning to buy an HTC Desire Z, since it's prize has fallen down (250 euros) in my country because I really love Sense and the QWERTY keyboard! :D
[XPERIA X8 General] Diddymies:
Desire Z sucks, small battery, outdatet, buy samsung galaxy s plus, or samsung nexus s, still pretty good phones with awesome community support, and pretty decent price now. Also liked the sgs2 little cousin with tegra .I quess it was samsung galaxy r?
[XPERIA X8 General] sotiris82:
i totally agree with you..i moved to nexus s from my x8 and i am very pleased..and it is not very expensive in greece
[XPERIA X8 General] syukara:
Thnx for sharing these information.:)
[XPERIA X8 General] josip-k:
If some devs contribute we can have ics on x8 and it should work fine if its well built.if hero,who has worse specifications can run it,x8 should run it better.
[XPERIA X8 General] doixanh:
It isn't really "worse". It has slower CPU but a bit more RAM. With low RAM systems, 32MB is a significant advantage.
[XPERIA X8 General] El Brillantinas:
This.

And doixanh, GingerDX is just awesome. May you consider something like "IceCreamDX" in the future? :D
[XPERIA X8 General] phoenix883:
ICEDX master Doixanh
[XPERIA X8 General] marek.ns:
It seems another low-end device LG GT540 to have ICS. Yes, it also has bigger RAM but it would be regrettable if x8 couldnt have it. :rolleyes:
[XPERIA X8 General] josip-k:
It has 528 mhz cpu,a bit more ram but its gpu really sucks,it has ardeno 130 and this phone is totaly same as my x1.same specs,everything.

Hero:

Ram:225 mb

Cpu:528 mhz

Gpu:ardeno 130

Xperia x1

Ram:225 mb

Cpu:528 mhz

Gpu:ardeno 130

And x1 barely runs android on nand,but hero runs it.so x8 should run it pretty well.
[XPERIA X8 General] XperianPro:
Wtf?! It has got 165 with new drivers and new kernel.
[XPERIA X8 General] Godra:
Hero has 288 MBs of RAM and X1 has 256 MBs according to GSM Arena.
[XPERIA X8 General] DeFcOn:
X8 have 256 mb of ram and 170 available for usage! Same as LG...
[XPERIA X8 General] josip-k:
But the main thing is that x8 could run ics.
[XPERIA X8 General] DeFcOn:
X8 could run even windows xp... But it will be terrible.
[XPERIA X8 General] Chris95X8:
Guys!!! Look what I found! I was just seeing the XDA news about the Galaxy Tab getting ICS and noticed something at the photo...

Look at the build number! There is doixanh's name! Maybe he is working on ICS already!
[XPERIA X8 General] josip-k:
Doixanh!?! Wow thats cool :D
[XPERIA X8 General] Rycon33:
i also think ics will inevitably come to x8

maybe some devs already doing it now (silently)
[XPERIA X8 General] danielo83:
If it runs on GT540, it could run on our X8. Right ??
[XPERIA X8 General] josip-k:
Yeah.it should.
[XPERIA X8 General] bxmx666:
i think ics is gonna come to x8 for sure

we just have to be patient :D
[XPERIA X8 General] Creativity:
ICS runs even on the G1!! http://www.xda-developers.com/android/the-first-android-ever-the-htc-g1-gets-ics-port/

Hoping to see it running on my x8 :)
[XPERIA X8 General] josip-k:
If it runs on g1,then **** it we need it for x8!
[XPERIA X8 General] match_stick:
Surely if G1 can handle it (barely) then X8 should be cool...fingers crossed...
[XPERIA X8 General] janda:
yeap, maybe x8 can run ics, but the main question is: who will build stable release for everyday use, i dont things that it will be possible to run ics smoothly as gingerDX.
[XPERIA X8 General] josip-k:
It could.im 99.9% shure.if x8 can run gingerbread without any problems,with a new kernel it could run pretty well.
