[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] [hfm]:
I completely disagree with the HTC vs Samsung build quality myth. Metal != automatic build quality superiority. I find Samsung's recent plastic devices to be of excellent quality, rigidity, light weight. And I have g1, n1, g2, NS, and now GN. So I know what I'm comparing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] falconeight:
Plastic is cheap and thats really all there is to it. You can do what you want with it its still plastic. Samsung make excellent screens and put decent size batteries in their phones but HTC has better looking phone made with better looking and feeling materials. Lets let the other idiot fanboys defend their phones with ridiculous claims here we call it for what it is.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nbeebe24:
I love my Galaxy Nexus the most. The one thing that bugs me most is the color temperature. If it had the same color temperature as the pre 2.3.3 Nexus S it would be the most beautiful display on the market IMO. Holding the 2 phones next to each other makes the colors on the GN extremely unacceptable
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] falconeight:
The GN is damn sexy. I like the GSM metal color and it does feel like one expensive piece of plastic.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shawn_230:
Wait, are you disagreeing with me? Because that's exactly what I'm saying, just because something is plastic doesn't make it cheaply put together crap.

First of all, why is plastic cheap and that's all there is to it? Compare for example a plastic SGS2 with a cheap Chinese knockoff, and then tell me plastic is plastic and there is nothing a company can do. There is not only one type of plastic in existence either.

Second, you start off talking about build quality, but your conclusion is that "HTC has better looking phone." So ironically you are the fanboy here, not only is a good looking phone subjective but that has zero to do with build quality.

And if you want to get fanboyish about it, I'd rather take Samsung's thinner plastic phones over HTC's gigantic bricks any day. Honestly, HTC seems to have fallen way behind in the thinness department, and my guess is because of the materials they insist on using because apparently metal > plastic all day, every day.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Carne_Asada_Fries:
I use to be a fan of metal like you, until I took an arrow in the knee.
[Xoom General] mikepic:
Just picked up my new Xoom and popped in my SD card with some apps and additional stuff I'd like to access on my new Xoom. Only the new folders that were created by the Xoom are accessible.

Below is a thread on androidforums about it but doesn't seem to have much activity so I figure to put up the question here as well.

I'm super new to having this device and this is probably old news that everyone has already moved on from. I'm assuming this is all fixed once the device is rooted but I'm not quite there yet... Soon ;)
[Xoom General] okantomi:
Honeycomb, being a tablet operating system doesn't allow apps to run from the external sdcard. Keep in mind that the Xoom has a large amount of internal storage, so you can sideload your apps onto the Xoom and use your micro sdcard to keep your music and video files and backups and for flashing roms once you're rooted.
[Xoom General] mikepic:
Thanks.

I keep my .apk backup files on the SD card and wanted to move them over to the new tablet. Most are just emulators. Is it not possible to install an app from the SD card? I don't even know if they'd be compatible. At the very least I just want to be able to see the folders they're stored in. My Xoom only lets me see new folders it created and not ones that exist already on the card.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] a2drew:
looking too

Since they put the usb port on the bottom, I am guessing they want to expand to have speakers, alarm clocks and everything else you can dock these phones in. I am guessing that companies that make this stuff will take a while to get these products out. I'm tired of seeing every type of docking station for iPods.

Hopefully there are making this location standard on all the new phones so it could be more universal to fit most android phones.

If anyone finds anything I hope they will post to this thread!

Yeah, thanks for posting that nexendz. I started a similar thread here with some other options but have yet to find something right. Right now I'm using a business card holder with some foam stick on pads as a stand with the stock charger, although that costs about the same as that Zenis dock.

Ordered this one from a different seller; same price, arrived very fast. Works with naked handset but not with the included plastic insert nor with a diztronic TPU case.

Let me know how the butchering goes....got ours in a few days ago and may do the same
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] XDA_Diomedes:
Removed 3mm overall from the sides to fit case. Now fits the sides but didn't account for the back so it's a bit tight but I don't mind as it keeps it well seated. It is hollow behind the plastic so you will see the void behind it but since the phone will be in the stand it shouldn't matter, at least it's not white plastic painted black which would look worse.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] yaggermr:
nook color app manager allows sideload apps to be added to nook tablet homescreen its in googles market or androidzoom if you dont have access to the market.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dragon_76:
Thank you so much! I have been trying to use different launchers and none of them work 100% correctly on the nook firmware and i am actually liking the nook interface
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] yourbrokenoven:
Oh! I had no idea nook color apps worked on the tablet. Do any others work?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ThyGizmo:
Hi,

I am using (Go Launcher EX), but then you won't see the nice B&N default launcher unless you press the "Home button" (inverted U).

Of course if you also install Home Catcher (then when you press the "Home" button twice, it forwards you to the Go Launcher interface or any other at your choice)....
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dragon_76:
I also have goLauncher installed. It is the only launcher I have tried that is fully functional without any bugs. (ADW LauncherPro ADW.ex and many others all have some kind of issue either functional or cosmetic)

I very much like the Barnes and Noble home concept.

If anyone could now help me with getting sideloaded apps to launch from the app shelf I would appreciate it. Currently they only launch from the home screen.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jph8tr:
I understand the resistance to rooting, but it does greatly increase the usability of the tablet. I'm using ADW launcher (now EX, $.10 in the market) and it works great. Go launcher also worked fine too. Add nookhome and you have the best of both worlds. So far, my NT has been rock solid stable, worlds better than my Viewsonic gTablet (bad purchase!!!). The biggest bug I've found so far is that in some apps, the pop up menu is white on white. Running a finger over the menu reveals the entry, so it's mostly aesthetic. Cut and paste is still absent and another pain in the butt is that quite a few apps are missing (google+?)from the market and require a bit of work to install. Once rooted and able to run all the Amazon stuff, this thing absolutely blows the Fire out of the water. Even rooted, the Fire is noticeably slower and buggier than the NT. My neighbor bought one, we compared and he returned the Fire for a NT.
[Epic 4G General] mookiemoo:
ok, so I just rooted my epic tonight and now am looking for those of you who have tested and retested all the roms out there. I am looking for one that is fast, efficient on the battery and has plenty of bells and whistles without any of the sprint apps that come with stock.
[Epic 4G General] ÜBER™:
Legendary Rom RC2 with the 3.0 samurai kernel......

And flash a theme if you'd like bells and whistles. 3.0 has cpu ocable to 1.5 and gpu oc'd to 300 or 250 or stock if you want and there's a fps unlock on two of them. My highest quad with the two was 4504 and the two compliment each other very well but you will get some opionated replies id say try em all and see which works best to your liking.

[Epic 4G General] soundman1024:
Ever since I picked up my Epic at launch I've missed Cyanogen from my G1. While it isn't perfect in its current state I can't imagine using anything else. It's responsive, it's lean, and it extended my battery life by about four hours when I installed it. There's a list that doesn't work at the moment (911 emergency calls, 4G, several video codecs including Youtube HQ, video recording) but the things that work are fantastic.

I was about to jump to Verizon for a different device, but with the breath that Cyanogen gave my Epic I'm going to ride it out.

Thanks for posting all the suggestions ... I'm new to rooting and this was very helpful.

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] mhornfeck72205:
Id like to know if anyone knows of an app that lets the nook receive audio from another device, and better yet, if you know if I can control that device through the nook. At minimum I'd like to be able to transmit BT audio to my nook because Ive installed my nook in my car. I'm looking to use pandora or google music from my phone and be able to switch songs on the phone using my nook. That's probably a far fetched app and very specific, but I'd like to know if anyone knows of anything that they use for other purposes that may suit this. Thanks!

Wouldn't it be a lot easier to put pandora or google music on your nook and tether your phone to it for the data connection only.

hello. new to the forum. i've scoured the net for solutions but i haven't found anyt that applied directly to my situation and came here for help.

first off, im a bit new to the android world--being an iphone geek my whole life so here goes.

ive got a htc dream (g1) rooted running 2.3.4

Mod Version is COS-DS i wanted to test out. But i dont care for it and wanted to go back to an earlier version, maybe cyanogen 6.1 but that runs 2.2

i was wondering if it would be as simple as grabbing the 6.1 ROM and flashing it onto my phone from my sd card

my HBOOT version is 1.33.0013d

my Radio version is 2.22.27.08

I had 6.1 on my sd card and flashed the rom because i saw a video of someone else who had the same radio/hboot version as I and it was working so i thought it would be that simple, but when i flashed it i was caught in a bootloop at the G1 Tmobile screen.

Luckily i was able to recover, (i backed up my info using the Clockwork Recovery from Rom Manager)

Any ideas? Any are welcome. And once again my apologies for my blazing noobishness.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndDiSa:
CM 6.1 is bootlooping due to your radio/SPL combination. You need a special kernel for this, which needs to be flashed on top on CM 6.1. Terry's kernel from the ezGingerbread thread should worl, I guess.

You can also downgrade your radio/SPL, but I do not suggest so, because you will lose the additional memory provided by that combination.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] t3tr1s:
I tried to test V6 Supercharger, but it got stuck at the lg logo and then I had to restore my nandroid backup.

Everything was perfectly restored, except CM Camera app. It opens, it shows camera image, but i can't shoot (it's like i had touchscreen turned off) and also the gallery thumbnail is black. The image stutters and when i press "back" it causes a FC.

Also, I upgraded my ROM from 6.5.7 to 6.5.8 (wiping Dalvik cache) and the problem persists.

Camera itself is working well, as i'm using lgcamera and barcode scanner. But I really like CM original camera app, so what can I do to solve it?

I have a P500, mik's CM7 6.5.8 (problem appeared while I was using 6.5.7), franco/fserve's v20 at the moment (v19.2 before, i guess). Underclock at 480/600MHz with SmartassV2.
