[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] rEVOLVE:
I miss when i got the original galaxy tab and there were pretty much a wide availability of aftermarket accessories for it. Not so much w/ the Plus. I'm still looking for a clear (non matte/anti-glare) and non-gummy screen protector.

I just got the skinomi finally last night and pulled it off after a minute of application. Just like the Zagg/invisibleshield product it has this grippy/gummy texture i don't like on my touchscreens. That's fine on the body if i don't want to use a case, but really not my preference on the screen.

What i want is a smooth, close to frictionless as possible on the touchscreen that affects the clarity as little as possible. In the past I like the Boxwave Crystals but they don't have any for our device, so I placed a request.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] skeeterpro:
Anyone ever deal with this company? They list a screen protector specifically for our devices.

Looks promising. But then the Titanic looked promising..........
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] abowlby:
I don't know if its been mentioned, but Skinomi has products for the +.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] captspaulding1000:
they have them on there website and i ordered some on nov. 17 and have still not received them. they will not answer my emails in regards to the delay. so i am thinking they have not even made any yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] khel26:
Oh believe me they have it. Their customer service is just plain incompetent and lazy. I got it after a couple of followups.. Oh and when USPS displays on their tracking website "Electronic Shipping Info Received" which indicates Skinomi already printed a shipping label for your item, don't settle and don't wait because for sure they will forget to send it in! Bang their heads until the tracking info starts moving. Then demand for a manager and get a refund for the trouble they've caused you. You then get the item for free. That serves them right because that item is their payment for the aggravation they've cause you. Just send them an email, be irate because I know you already are.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] captspaulding1000:
i sent numerous emails. i finally received the stuff from them it only took 34 days. i asked how to get a refund and was told they only offer a refund up till 30 days from order date. after many more emails they finally agreed that if i ship the stuff back they will refund my money. i will be doing my best to warn people of the terrible customer service at this site. not to mention the product comes all rolled up in a stupid tube in a huge package. wouldn't flat shipping the body kit make more sense than rolling it up tight?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] skeeterpro:
Their service seems to have taken a huge hit recently. I bought a skin/protector months ago for an old Viewsonic GTab I had and yes, they sent it in a tube. That's SOP for them. The hassle I had applying their screen protector led me to swear off all wet apply protectors TFN. That said, some swear by wet apply but I just: 1) never got the hang of wet apply and, 2) never felt comfortable with moisture around my electronic devices. But that's me.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] lostaggie:
I just received my Ultra Fine protector from SGP. Great protector! Very easy to install. I bought because it is anti-glare.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] theundeadelvis:
I just got a pack of three from Ebay fit $5.99. Works great!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] whmcal:
Check out podjunkie on Amazon.co.uk. Five screensavers for £4.99. Front speaker punched a little too wide length-wise, otherwise, very well fitted, crystal clear with nice smooth feel. I'm really happy with mine.

atFoliX Anti-Glare

Got this one a few days ago, but I still can't post URLs..... search Amazon for atFoliX FX-Antireflex Antireflective screen protector for Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus

Still not totally sold on it but I think its an OK protector. Very firm plastic, matte finish - it almost makes the screen feel capacitive (but still very responsive). It definitely helps reduce glare but also really takes away some of the sharpness of the screen.

Ironically, shipped from Germany and still got here faster than some shippers who mail USPS from California......
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] gunslinger3:
I got mine at Best Buy. Applied yesterday. Looked crappy. Waited the recommended twelve hours and what a difference. Love the look and feel. Expensive but, what is your Tab screen worth?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] michintom:
I would skip the skinomi one, the quality isn't great and has the orange peel effect. I personally got the sgp one. Never had any issue with sgp screen protectors.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] naturefreak85:
I have the Zagg one on order, I suspect Zagg and Skinomi are pretty much the same. From my research and past experience the Orange Peel Effect is to reduce glare and does decrease over time.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] michintom:
Yeah, I noticed many users hate that feeling cause it creates a somewhat resistance. Also, my co-worker just got the skinomi one for his tab 8.9 and the fitment is terrible. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] skeeterpro:
Got the atFoliX FX for Christmas and just got around to applying. Better than I thought it would be. Simple dry apply. Works for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Mr Dasher:
I just applied a wet Skinomi skin and I'm impressed.

I hate appling any screen protector - dry or wet.

I bought the Zagg from Bestbuy when i bought the tablet. I don't know what happened but it just didn't apply well. I don't blame the skin. I don't think I put enough moisture on the skin so it began to stick and in turn stretch. It looked ok but I couldn't handle looking at the imperfection every time I used the tablet. It didn't get better overtime.

I went went on line and decided to give it another try. With the online discount I purchased the Skinomi wet skin with the carbon fiber back and side protection.

The carbon fiber back protection applied well and looks great. The carbon side protection is a bit of overkill but I applied it anyway because it would be hidden in a rooCase. With all the curves on the tablet the carbon fiber doesn't really apply very smoothly and doesn't look very professional. The trick I discovered was to use a hair blower and then heat up the corners and smooth it out using my fingers.

Finally I applied the wet skin. The Zagg skin peeled off easily without leaving any adhesive. I found that with the Zagg skin I felt that i hadn't used enough moisture. In this case I applied more solution without it being overkill. I put the solution on the skin and a bit on the table glass. It was easier from that point on. I found that i could put the skin down on the surface and then just slide the protective skin into place around the various holes. There was very little moisture to pat away. I left it for 5 hours. Now the surface is perfect and then since I let it dry the "sticky" feeling that comes with wet surfaces is almost not existent.

I definitively would purchase again. The price was great and since i wasn't in a rush to get it I have no idea how long it took. Maybe 3 weeks to Canada?

Mr D.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Zadeis:
So what is the general consensus on the SGP ultra fine? I wouldn't mind having anti glare/anti fingerprint as the site states.

(And yes I understand one person already said it was nice just trying to figure out if others have tried it)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] michintom:
Sgp is great. I have it on my iPhone, galaxy tab, iPad 2, and kindle fire. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Zadeis:
Thank you good sir I have just purchased one :D
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] lllearner:
What is the feel of the protector?

I have tried Zagg which to me has a sticky feel which I don't like on the screen.

I have a Brando on my Tilt2 which has lasted forever and I use my device daily. It feels like I have no protector at all, it feels like a naked screen. I see they have protectors for Galaxy Tab 7 Plus.

ArmorSuit MilitaryShield

After doing a bunch of research online, I ordered the ArmorSuit MilitaryShield available for the GT7+. (I got mine on eBay, but you can find it most easily at armorsuit.com.)

I received and applied it yesterday. It went on very easily with the spray solution and squeegee provided. No bubbles or dust got trapped under the film. There are a few small flaws in the corners, but they're off the display screen so I don't even notice them.

The film is very much thinner and more flexible than those cheap, stiff ones that go on dry and are hell to get rid of all the dust and bubbles. It feels fine when using the touchscreen. Maybe a little more friction when swiping. It claims to be scratch-resistant and somewhat self-healing. Also claims a lifetime replacement warranty.

I'd have to say highly recommended.

BoxWave Crystal Clear

I purchased and installed a BoxWave Crystal Clear screen protector, and it is fantastic.

<can't post links>

"amazon.com/gp/product/B000NWEM3G/ref=oh_o00_s00_i00_details"

</can't post links>

I'm not affiliated with them in any way other than that I've been buying their products for over 10 years and am still very satisfied.

The only difference I could tell after installing the protector is that it provides slightly more friction than without. To call it sticky would be a gross overstatement.

Anyway way highly recommended.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Gigabitme:
This one will work

This company makes good screen protectors. They are dry application. You just have to be really careful about dust particles when applying it. Take your time! Oh and a trick I read on another thread suggested applying it in the bathroom after running a hot shower. The steam is supposed to prevent dust particles from getting on the screen during installation.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] buzzdalf:
I bought an SGP ultra fine after reading the recommendation here. Wow, it is hands down the BEST screen protector I have ever used. It's smooth, not sticky at all. It installed relatively easy and I have no bubbles.

I normally buy the cheap screen protectors, but decided to try a pricier one for this tablet and am really impressed. I might just have to get SGP ultra fines for everything going forward!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] fershox:
No gorilla glass for this fantastic tablet?! I've already my case but I was hoping that the screen was scratch proof since my iPhone never got a scratch and I never uses screen protectors but I'm feeling curious about this screen and since everyone is looking for screen protectors now that's getting me worried

[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] kellyann1293:
I've been using the Fosmon anti-glare protectors (available at Amazon). I am very happy with them - they hide fingerprints pretty well and really cut the glare. Kind of a pain to put on, but they're inexpensive (I think I paid $6 for a 3-pack) so if you really screw one up putting it on it's no biggie.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] fershox:
Does anyone knows if this tablets comes with gorilla glass?thanks

Armorsuit screenprotector

Hey Guys,

what do you think about the Armorsuit screen protectors? I see one in amazon ('cause in Costa Rica is really rare to find a decent screen protector)

can someone of you provide any observation about this product?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Sun_Cat:
Just a few posts back on this very thread I posted my positive impressions of the Armorsuit protector. Five months later I'm still liking it.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] darkshadowx07:
Thanks

Oh yeah, I see it, are you using the screen protector only?, or full body protection? do you think the full body protection will do any good (for the extra $$$)?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Sun_Cat:
I have just the screen protector. The full body protector looked like overkill to me, but I've never tried it.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] sanvara:
I just got these and they are good but almost impossible to apply 100% perfect unless there is a trick I am not aware of. I applied in a steamy bathroom and can get it good but not perfect.

[Captivate Themes and Apps] wallybanger:
Hey guys,

Been doing lots of reading online and haven't been able to figure out how to change my boot image/animations.

I'm running a Canadian captivate I896 and I have flashed it with the Odin 1-click gingerbread flash tool found here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1127249

I also rooted it with the stuff in that thread.

I would like to be able to just drop a bootanimation.zip into a system folder but it appears that I have the .qmg files in the System/Media folder. Everything in there also appears with a shield on the icon and I can't rename, delete or put any other files in that folder.

I am using Root Explorer and I have it in R/W mode.

What do I have to do? Is there another thread I should read? I have done lots of searches but can't find anything.

Thanks :)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ugoff:
Depending on the version of Android you're running, the filename of the animation is different. For Froyo(2.2), bootanimation.zip. For Gingerbread(and Ice Cream Sandwich, presumably, 2.3/2.4), sanim.zip. /system/media is usually where you would put the file, but some kernels read it from /data/local.

The qmg files are the original Samsung boot animation. You can usually leave them there.

If Root Explorer won't let you write, even after hitting the R/O-R/W button a few times, it sounds like the rooting didn't work.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] wallybanger:
Thank you very much for the reply.

I just flashed to the Illuminance 3.0 rom with the Samurai 1.4.2 Kernel.

Root Checker says I have root access.

Still can't write anything to the system/media folder.

Good to know that I need to rename the .zip file though.

Any further info you could offer on the read/write issue or where the .zip needs to go would be greatly appreciated. :)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] wallybanger:
Ha! Threw the .zip in the data/local file and the animation works great :) THanks. Now I just need to figure out how to get rid of the stupid AT&T image.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ugoff:
The first image you see is from the bootloader. The AT&T bootloader can be hacked to replace the image. Alternatively, installing bootloaders from the i9000 will replace this with the stock Galaxy S image. Check out the Android Development section for bootloader info.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] nugget68:
When I try to move the .zip file I get the error "Java.io.FileNotFoundException" why?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] sickspider1:
If your device is rooted, you can run the app called "root tools" and change your boot animation, it comes with a few good animations. the only thing is you have to pay for it. google root tools.apk and you'll be able to find it
[Captivate Themes and Apps] jmtheiss:
There is a much better, simpler, and safer way to change your boot animations.

1. Make a copy of the zip file that your rom installer came with.

2. Using a program like 7zip, open the zip file and clean out all directories except everything in META-INF, and /system/media.

3. Go into the /system/media folder and remove everything except bootanimation.zip and sanim.zip.

4. Copy over the bootanimation.zip and sanim.zip (if they're both there - if not, just copy over the one that's there) with your own versions of these files. MAKE SURE THAT THE FILE YOU PUT IN WAS ZIPPED WITH NO COMPRESSION. (You can specify compression in 7zip - it will be the "store" option).

5. Close the zipped file.

6. Save the zipped file (with whatever name you want) to your internal SD card.

7. Reboot into CWM recovery and flash.

This will replace your boot animations with your modded ones. If something goes haywire, worst case scenario will be you don't see a boot animation before the rom boots. If that happens, just use the same steps above, but don't replace the boot animations. Flash that "revert" version.

Hello,

every time when I run the update for maps app from the market, after downloading i get the error message that the package is not properly signed.

The same thing happend with Google+ and other Google apps.

Is there a way to solve this?

I just rooted the Nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Luxferro:
Have u done anything besides rooting? Did u ever install Google wallet? I've seen that mess things up in a similar way. U can always do a factory reset. Just backup anything on ur SD card.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dmue:
Nope, nothing.

Just rooted it manually via adb. (push su an SuperUser.apk)

Hmm k, i hate reset's... ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DanVanDamn:
That's a known issue for Germans who bought their phones at Media Markt/Saturn. Probably Samsung messed up the package signature.

Just google that issue. Only solution right now is to flash the original ROM downloadable via Google's Nexus website.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dmue:
Well thanks... Just need time.. ;)

[Android Apps and Games] ags29:
Is there any non-Honeycomb tablet out there that has had this hacked onto it someway? I'm specifically trying to find out for the Amazon Kindle Fire. It works great on there but it takes up pretty much half of the 1024x600 display.

I'm guessing that Swype is popular enough and there are enough Android 2.3 tablets out there that someone has asked this.

Are the correct drivers installed? That's probably your problem I have the 2.3.5 OTA .zip all you would have to do is rename it to update.zip and place on the root of your sdcard and boot into recovery mode I will post if you need it

You should check this rom out it's the first rom to actually impress me http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1325469 I suggest using the stock launcher from 2.3.5 but besides the launcher it's blazing fast I did a CPU benchmark and got 432ms!!! OC at 1300mhz and it has a CWM recovery
[Galaxy Tab General] thepza:
A few notes on this method:

When you open zadig, you may have to select Options and check "List All Devices" in order to see your tab listed.

Also, after pressing "Start" on the frontend, I immediately got the message "Failed!" I pressed "Start" again and it all went smoothly.

And then when you reboot into recovery, note that to select any of the options, after choosing them with the vol up/down keys, you have to press the Home button. If you press Settings, you'll get a scary "!" triangle. Just hold power to shut the tab down and reboot.
[Galaxy Tab General] biggnasty989:
Worked like a charm, just make sure you load the drivers BEFORE you open up the frontend program! I had to reload the drivers, then start front end again to not get the "failed" message.

Anyway, great job. Very easy!
[Galaxy Tab General] dav3yb:
just used this guide to flash my galaxy tab.

very simple. thanks again for posting it.

when the device got done downloading the info heimdall was sending, it rebooted pretty quick, and i missed booting into recovery, but i held down power till it hard reset and went back into recovery from there.

just be ready to hold volume up after the flash. the reboot is much quicker than i expected.
