Iv kinda decided between two but dunno which to get

They are the Odys Loox and Scroll esential 8" tablet both costing £99

Which do you think is better?

What i want to know is

3.What makes android tablets differ from phones other than the screen size

and

How could i get more out of the tablet

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] The-Captain:
Out of those, you don't get more besides the screen than bigger screen, but I would try to get a used amazon fire or galaxy tab 7" on ebay.

I noticed when the notification light is pulsing it flickers when it reaches the max brightness. Is this normal?

The light is a smooth transition and then gets noticeably brighter suddenly and then it gradually decreases to zero.

I am using light flow.

I just got back from UK to Singapore.

During my stay in UK, I bought a galaxy nexus from phones4u and the sales person claimed that I could get VAT refund at the airport. However before my departure at the airport, the counter staff told me phones4u is not part of the VAT refund scheme, and there were many tourists who were con as well. Okay, she didn't said I was con, but I sure felt con. Effectively I've paid almost S$200 more for a phone with no local warranty... just to get it a few weeks early, so you can imagine yea?

Anyway I am planning to seek a refund from phones4u, but this is just warn other "tourists" of the scam.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] StuMcBill:
I didn't think that it was specific to the shop? I thought everything was eligible for VAT refund?

My phone is stuck on the recovery mode and it doesn't allow me to select anything. I have the i777 version from Att so it doesn't have that home button. download mode doesn't work and I tried many times. I have the CWM on version 4.0.0.2.

[Nook Color General] HDLow42:
Just got my NC, my first tablet. The second I got it out of the box I rooted it and installed CM7.1 Stable. It's primarily for my 7 year old, but of course, I'll probably get more use out of it than him. I'm at the point where I really don't know what else to do with it.

I installed some games (angry birds, etc), some kids book app (iStoryBooks), Dolphin Browser, Netflix, Nintendo Emulator, Music files, I'll put some movies on for him, did some customizing (launcher pro, ics theme).

What are the main things you or your children do with your NC?
[Nook Color General] Taosaur:
He might like something like Doodledroid or Sketchbook Pro. The NC isn't great for drawing (usually better with fingers than stylus) but it might be fun for a 7-year-old.

My main use for myself and any little ones (cousins, nieces, nephews) is reading books and comics.
[Nook Color General] bhess:
My two (10 and 13) are always stealing mine to play games with. 7 might tough to find game to play.

There is one called kids paint and pocket god (pay)might be easy. some funny sound boards too. farts.... lol

I also recommend getting amazon app store. They give away a free app every day. Lots of games.
[Nook Color General] votinh:
Mainly use for

+ reading books while on bed.

+ playing Sudoku or Zenzen, not a big fan of kiddo games, though.

+ checking NFL on Sunday and might be some other sports

+ quickly checking weather of various location.

+ quickly checking local/global news

+ quickly checking tech. news

+ emailing

Able to check movies is great. Another big advantage is turning the NC into the TI calculator(s), too bad my college years were way way way behind.

Also, I am not a fan of listening music or watching video or gmapping route on the NC though.

Hi,

I tried about 20 Android Sense ROM on my HD2 and none of them the GPS works.

I'm living in Tunisia (north africa). I tried to put in the gps.conf "europe.pool.ntp.org" and "africa.pool.ntp.org", it doesn't work.

Have you tried wiping your EFS data? Or perhaps try another radio? Of course, be sure to wipe EFS afterward. Check your device's XDA thread for a flashable zip.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] framequake:
The rules here are kind of ridiculous. I'm not able to post the link to the site or to post the gps.conf itself because of the link-rule.

Search for "[MOD] [ALL ROMS] GPS Fix Speed up GPS response" @ Google

Copy the gps.conf to your /system/etc/gps.conf and change

"NTP_SERVER=0.europe.pool.ntp.org" to "# NTP_SERVER=0.europe.pool.ntp.org"

and

"# NTP_SERVER=0.africa.pool.ntp.org" to "NTP_SERVER=0.africa.pool.ntp.org"

That config might help.

I just installed the Liberty Mod and everything was going great. Until I realized there is not a tether icon. So I went into bootstrap reboot and was going to install the Wireless Tether zip I have on my SD card. And then it hit me ... let me make sure that I will be able to do so without any complications by checking the forums. Long in the short ... I went to reboot the phone and it did but now I can not get into Bootstrap recovery from the Liberty Toolbox ????? Everytime I select the Toolbox I get a forced close. How do I get it to reboot into bootstrap. I have tried the holding the volume button down when you power up. I have tried the volume button when it just starts to boot up. All help is allready greatly appreciated. Thanks Night

Oh and by the way I am fairly new to all the rooted phone stuff as my previous phone was a HTC Hero that I had rooted, overclocked, many different roms etc etc. This phone I have had for a while but decided it was time to get it rooted which I did and WHAM .. this happened so I have been out of the loop for a while so give me 1st grader terms ;) :o.

Would it be any way possible to get android (froyo) on the kin two? Its a really nice phone, not to mention that it doesn't require a data plan from verizon ;). I dont care that wifi is needed for internet access just that android on this thing would make it amazing.

According to Wikipedia the Kin has a Freescale i.

And according to documentation found on Android website, the Kin fits the profile for Gingerbread.

I want to port language fonts from one ROM to other... Any idea how to do it?

the actual story is that i flashed Leedroid ROM and it had 'Urdu' language fonts... I want those to use in other Roms which don't have Urdu fonts... Almost all roms lack this font...:-/

Anyone knows which files are concerned with Urdu fonts in Leedroid ROM that I can port to or copy to other roms that don't have it?
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Fonts can be found in phone/system/fonts.

It's just a thought,but you could copy the fonts from one ROM to another.

:)
[HTC Sensation] jjdoctor:
Should i copy all files from one ROM to other ...? No issues i hope....?
[HTC Sensation] jjdoctor:
If i make a flashable zip from the fonts file that would contain two lib files... Do i need to insert wipe cache and delvik cache script with it or just format cache only or none?
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

When I looked in the fonts folder, there were not that many fonts.

Maybe, you can see which one is the one you want, and save it.

Having said that, they are all tff. files , so saving them all and copying them over should not do any harm.

Nandroid backup just to be sure.

I nandroided to my cheesecake "platform" (234) while on ud1 (235/413) and the kernel caused wifi to break but the servers must not check the kernel. I never logged the platform on to google as I noticed gtalk sync errors that caused the 3g arrows to stop on other cheesecake roms. I flashed all the updates and found the last kernel different the first(413).

This is 235/412 call it ud0, Overminds thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1341202

Ud1 to 4 are here (4 zips in one fake mp3. It is not a mp3 change ext to .zip -It is easy to ul a mp3)

EDIT Tested with Winrar and Windows7 on PC and Root Explorer on phone.. 7zip, Winzip and others may not unzip this.

http://www.mediafire.com/file/4loqisamcd4y8ya/1_to_4_235isAzip.mp3

I did go from 234 (leak)sbf to ud1 with out problems btw. Then you could do 2 through 4 from stock recovery.

Don't ask why it is such a long seemingly backwards ride! The battery seems MUCH better no jumping. Batt fix must be in one or more of 2, 3 or 4.

We should be able to eliminate some of these?

These do NOT need to be renamed to be flashed.

A lot of the numbers in the zip names do not make orderly sense. I took them off my sd card by the dates I saved/flashed them. I got no errors as I flashed them all. Used voodoo root keeper after each.

http://androiddev.orkitra.com/download/apps/?appid=-2821155941944302146 one of the rare direct links nice to have on your sd card :)

BTW while scrolling the cloud picker server field, once the name moves, the scrolling input extents to almost the whole screen so use both fingers to keep it active and you can go from first to last server like climbing a ladder;)

Im sorry but reading over this twice I still have no idea really what you are saying besides the battery doesn't jump around after updating somwhere...

I don't.know if its just me/how im reading it but it is extremely confusing and hard to follow what you are trying to say.....sorry...

Edit...okay I think im following ya kinda now...

Question...which of these updates is the one that is in the 2.3.5 thread in development section?
[Motorola Droid X2] skwoodwiva:
1st link ud0 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1341202 is 412.

Motcher41 ud 4 in the mp3/zip is the last one, w/ kernel ...0006... It is the one I ended with.

I posted this so youall can try mixing(or not) these as needed to get the battery fix which occurred when I went from ud 2 to ud 4. These ud # will make sense if you dl the fake mp3. Also the update works great after I did all 4 and how do we know we should stop with overminds post( ud 0) ? Yet we are calling it THE 235 ud.

It seems that with so many on the servers none of those are final. They are probably all just test versions, even though 413 seems very stable.
[Motorola Droid X2] densetsu86:
Hey just letting you know there is a fix by peppermint so you didn't need to go through all that and besides .412 has a higher kernal then the one you have. Ihave kernal ending in 0007 and .413 ends in 0008.

Why don't you flash the latest and use peppermints fix so you are on the the newest kernal. Well i like kernal 0007 its stable and music skipping is better handled i don't need poweramp with it. Which im very happy about. Last update by poweramp screwed it (poweramp) up.

Hey there c: As always, you come surprising everyone with your stuff haha Good job on this one, I think it is always good to have some tutorials from the people who build specifically for our Mimmi's :D

Before reading this, I wanted to get started on developing and I went to Android's official developers site, I did some steps, now I have the complete source of Android here (I use Ubuntu 10.04, the LTS version... Dunno if telling you that it is LTS ver. really matters, but just in case) andthe whole environment ready to build. Now, reading at this, I realize I don't have 4Gb of RAM on this "old" (2007..) notebook. Anyways, the thing is: I followed the steps listed here, but when I wrote this command-

$ make -j4

-the terminal started to execute files, or something... I'll add a screenshot at the end about this. It has been 3 days since that, and the terminal is still doing the same. I know developing requires a lot of patience, but... 3 days? Is this normal?? I have looked through the Internet for problems with this command, but no one seems to have talked about it.

Thanks for your time, work and effort for the community, we really appreciate it c: Bye!

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] RozenTensai:
The 'make -j4' uses 4 threads to compile everything, if your notebook does not have at least an hyperthreading-technology enabled CPU, well, that's to expect when building an entire OS, plus you don't have sufficient RAM, I do have 2GB and a DualCore CPU and it takes at least 1 hour to compile an average desktop kernel with that same command. I have not tried to compile android, but I think that it will take at least 4 hours to compile everything. Just my thought.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] nico444164:
Thank you for your answer! Just ten minutes ago, the 'make' command finished :D! And about my notebook, it is just like yours: 2Gb RAM and Dual-Core CPU, I'm not sure but I think it runs at 2,8 GHz. And also, like I said earlier, I know developing takes time. I know how slow processes can be, in fact, there were commands previously that took 1 hour or more to finish their tasks. 1 hour, 4 hours, it's ok but... 3 days? Isn't it a bit too much xd?? Now I'm afraid to turn off the computer because I don't want to compile that thing again hahaha
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Snoopo:
the "-j" option depends on the number of (virtual) cores you have.

get the number:

grep processor /proc/cpuinfo | wc -l

if you have native linux and like to work on the machine I recommend do lower the number at least -1 otherwise get a coffee and keep hands off the build process :)
