[Acer Iconia A500] jackie099:
It not lags too much. All tegra 2. but i suggest you to buy galaxy tab 10.1. It feels so good and the screen is much better than a500. At last, if u have enough money to buy an iPad,don't buy android tablet. There are too many problems with it. Due to my poor English, it's just a suggestion. Maybe my explanation is not clear.
[Acer Iconia A500] kjy2010:
No, your explanation is VERY clear. You just haven't a clue what you're talking about :rolleyes:
[Acer Iconia A500] InvalidCast:
if you want to be sure, i think the best is to go to a store and try the different tablets you may be interested in (iconia, galaxy, ipad).

everyone has its own tastes and its only a few models for you to try (3).

all i can say is that it's worth its price (a little less than 350 euros in France for example) and that when (if?) ICS is ported to iconia (with hardware acceleration of course) it will be smoother than it is now
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
WAIT FOR TEGEA 3.WAIT FOR TEGRA.

Did I mention if you wait a month or two tetra 3 will be hitting stores.This will drop prices on tetra 2 devices.and offer a even better android experience if you are willing to spend the cash.

Goodluck and .wait wait wait.

[Acer Iconia A500] Cactus42:
The Iconia is excellent. Mine doesn't lag at all, even on stock it didn't. Also the touch interface is just as good as the IPad2.

Seconded. I love that in one thread he says that, then in another he says how brilliant Acer are...
[Acer Iconia A500] jackie099:
Thank you. I heard that A701 will come out next year.

http://cn.engadget.com/tag/acer+iconia+tab+a700/

The screen will be 1920x1200!
[Acer Iconia A500] kjy2010:
It's purported that the next Samsung tab will sport 25?? X 15?? Screen Res, and if the rumor is true it will be out this coming year as well ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] jackie099:
Good. Which do u prefer? Acer or samsung?
[Acer Iconia A500] tumpy:
If i were you i would stop posting in the acer forum, don't think you have any knowledge about what you are posting about, all three tab in question is in my household. The acer can hold its ground with the best of them with, For starters i think acer dev's are more advance than sammy's...
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
The currently available Samsung tablet is like the ipad.It will break looking at it to hard.

So in sure they both will fallowhe same suit on the new coming out tabs.Idont like having the glass go to total outer redge one tiny drop or bangnd its broken.acer has more protection and feels stronger in your hand.the saw goes for comparison on computer laptops made from both companies.

Get acer no doubt.

fasten your seatbelt, ICS is becoming more than a dream for iconia (2 devs have "very early alpha" booting images, obviously without hardware acceleration :D).

i bet in less than a month, when you think about this thread, you will say yourself you paid the right price for a "flying tablet" ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] a1qwyx20:
will the Gateway TAB TP a60 run ICS, as gateway is a subsidiary (sorta) of acer?... I just bought one for a decent price but it might go back to the store...my sister is looking for something to take notes at school and to do basic tasks on, either she will use this or the blackberry playbook (with an android app loader handrite notes program...if it works)
[Acer Iconia A500] aman11dhanpat:
it is an awesome tab :D

seriously honey comb is a whole new GENERATION of android

also is ICS is coming then its more than awesome
[Acer Iconia A500] flexte:
+1 on that.. this is still the best tablet in my opinion. I even bough the thinkpad tablet with the active digitizer and returned it to stick with my iconia.
[Acer Iconia A500] Dexter Douglas:
After enjoying my Nook Color with CM7 for about 8-10 months, I decided I needed a fully functional tablet. After striking out at Staples this morning, I found a refurb with a case on Best Buy's website for $270. Can't wait to get Thor's ROM up and running on this bad boy once I get it on Wednesday.

I was try to port that release. But the galnet release don't have any ICS apps in it, and nothing changed. I mean I don't notice any performance or stability differences. So I don't think its make any good for me.

What ROM is this?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] flibblesan:
MIUI using the ICS framework so it has better battery and memory management apparently.

Thanks voidthedroid just trying to show people how to mod there own buildprops not just flash something, not that there is anything wrong with that.

Open your build.prop and add the lines. Save and exit. Reboot twice.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Enzopreme:
WRONG

.. you dont ADD the lines. You EDIT the ones that are already there. just find the corresponding line, edit it to the value you want (after the = sign, usually) then save, and reboot... root tools has a build.prop editor that works real good.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sic_lic1o1:
not all the build.props have all those lines in there. You can't edit anything if they're not in there.

I feel it would be nice to see a before and after Build.prop image.

I feel comfortable changing the data, but I am not comfortable on where to place it within the many lines of information. I do understand that some are already there, but in my situation I am running the Alpha build of CM7 and there is no information for the data that I can see that matches what you have provided therefore confusing the crap out of where I might add/put those changes to mine.

I hope that all made sense.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jmariconda:
Ooh ok I understand now lol.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Ashtear:
As far as I understand, the build.prop is a file read by the kernel during boot that sets up global variables that then other elements in the OS use during their initialization and operation.

Not all devices, and particularly not all kernels, look up the build.prop file. Most do, though.

Since this file is read, variables created and assigned sequentially, it makes no difference if the value is assigned twice. The value assignment closest to the end of the file will take precedence. This is good, because it means you can set up with comments a section at the end of the file with your custom modifications, and if you don't like them, delete them, and the defaults up above will take over.

But, since all this file does is set up variables for other elements of the OS to use, not all variables work, since not all ROMs use all of them, or necessarily have the hooks to read and use those variables.

On my LG p999 I have cm7 and my herc i have juggernaut and the build prop on each is completely different is that BC of the rom that I have on each or the phone itself?

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chris-france:
Hi everyone,

I would like to get an eee pad transformer. However, with my previous laptop, I bought a

legal

version of MS office 2010, and would be a shame to loose it now.

I could find the files to create a dual boot with ubuntu on that device.

I found on a few topics that qemo could help emulate a x86 system, even on an ARM tablet.

Then I read that wine could enable installing MS designed softwares on Ubuntu.

Do you think following the 3 steps above could let me install Office 2010 on a eee pad transformer?

This would be critical for me to finally decide to buy it.

Thanks a lot for your help

Chris
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magicdave26:
I doubt it very much, there is a moderately working version of Ubuntu that moderately runs on the TF - but installing WINE and running MS Office, not a hope.

There are a few different versions of Android Office's you can install - none are anything like MS office though
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] worwig:
Amazon, today (just a few more hours) has Documents To Go, free. I have been using it for a long while and it is very compatible with Word, Excel and Powerpoint. If that helps.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chris-france:
Thanks for your quick and honest answer. That sounds like a very bad news for me.

Unfortunately I can't go for Android designed office as for business purpose, I often develop some VBA programs, and I strongly doubt those are supported and possibe to edit under those softwares...

Thing is I am really looking for a good Android tablet (avoid Windows at all costs) on which I could use this only MS soft... Any solution could work for me (dual booting, emulation...)

Any idea then?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ParadingLunatic:
To be honest I don't think the processors they put in tablets are going to do a great job running a desktop OS (such as ubuntu) AND running emulation on top of it. Wine runs pretty clunky and buggy at best on a desktop processor. I can't imagine it's going to be a wonderful experience on a tablet, especially running Office 2010 or for developing VBA programs. Perhaps in the upcoming iteration of processors you might be able to but we won't know until they're out. Even then, it will probably still be fairly slow and buggy.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chris-france:
Ok so as a conclusion I should rather buy a windows tablet and emulate honeycomb using Android SDK.

Does it give the same experiance as an android tablet?

Any tablet to advise me?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magicdave26:
There are rumors that the transformer 2 (Prime) will be able to run Windows 8

But it is only a rumor at this stage, and would be ARM based not x86 anyway

There are a few Windows 7 tablets if you Google for such, but from the video reviews I have seen they are slow and laggy at best

Maybe a touchscreen laptop / netbook would be more suited for your needs

Then when Windows 8 is released you will have the tiled Metro touch interface that is designed for touch.

You can get some touchscreen notebooks that allow swiveling of the screen, so it basically closes with the screen side facing up, giving the feeling of a tablet
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spidey01:
Where Polaris Office fails to deliever what you need, I suggest you just switch to a Windows box for MS or Libre Office as needed. You can also use SplashTop (better than VNC IMHO) via MyNet and access your PC from your TF, that should work.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chris-france:
This last solution gives me hope!! Splashtop could actually solve my issue.

Thanks a lot for your help!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spidey01:
As long as you don't need to track the mouse cursor's movements, SplashTop is very handy but can take getting used to. My own use of it, is mostly web surfing and video that requires a Wintel (e.g. XFinity).

Some hope for you...

Microsoft is in the process of making their Windows 8 ARM compatible, which is the architecture "mobile" gadgets run on. I will probably find a way to run Windows/ Ice Cream Sandwich dual boot, similar to what I've done in the past on laptops. Windows is your only chance of running Office. That said, the functionality offered by Google Docs, Documents To Go, and other "Lite" Office apps should provide plenty of functionality for you. This is a tablet, not a laptop. It's a great product in it's class, but not a PC replacement. Asus makes the Eee Slate EP121 (played with one, very cool!) if you want a Windows Tablet, but for $1000, it's a product without much demand. Hope this helps.
[Desire HD Android Development] IN-Freak:
Hello developers here at the Desire HD development thread!

Ive got a biq question!

In former times (a few months ago) i saw that something changed with the HTC sms app.

Before these changes i could write a sms with more than 2000 letters (around 16 sms) and it still was a sms! i could sent it like a normal sms,and because i've got a sms flat all was okay (i can remember with one of the first virtousroms (1.x) all was okay):)

But then, i don't know which ROM it was, but all new ROM's today have got this problem: if i write a sms with more than ~750 letters, the sms app converts the sms in a mms :/ that's really wiry cause who has got a mms flat today?

So i wanna ask all developers here: Is there a way to change the sms app, so that the app doesn't convert a long sms into a mms!

Hope I'm not the only one who noticed that...

It would really help me and others if someone with the technically knowledge could take a lock into the Sense 3.5 sms app!

Please don't ask about the sense to write such an long sms and tell me that i should phone the other person ;) I have my reasons and haven't a flat for phoning...

Thx for all your comments on this question!
[Desire HD Android Development] apoorvajsh:
BY FAR the easiest solution to this is to download an alternative messaging app and use that for when you need to send large texts.

I know for a fact (because i just tried it) that GO sms supports sending massive texts, and it's also a great app so maybe give that a go.
[Desire HD Android Development] daedric:
Search around for "Special characters" in SMS/MMS app settings.
[Desire HD Android Development] nayan8teen:
Yup... faced this problem long ago..

Using some other sms app is ok..but i kinda like the stock app...so i modified it to accept large texts... :D

Its just a tiny smali change..i do it on every rom that i use..

attaching the mms.apk for RCMix3D Runny v4.0.. but it should work on other sense3.5 roms as well...

i can post the required smali edits if you want..
