[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] yumms:
There's a large selection of Tablet apps, use this to get the list https://market.android.com/details?id=com.andromo.dev86.app119

And ICS is coming to many devices early next year. Companies have already announced ICS tablets and more will be announced at CES.

Gingerbread on a tablet in 2012 just doesn't cut it.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] e.mote:
Yes, I was being a bit facetious, hence the smilie.

The point stands that HC is irrelevant going forward. Per graph below, it's just a blip on the Android radar. (Now we know why vendors aren't so keen on releasing more HC tablets.) Devs base their decision on market size. Whatever tab-specific action that will happen will be with GB and ICS later. Despite the "ICS is coming" hoopla, software is typically one cycle behind the OS. That won't change, especially with the unproven state of the Android tablet market. For the near future, most Android apps/games will still be phones-first.

>Gingerbread on a tablet in 2012 just doesn't cut it.

The reality is that GB will still be predominant for most if not all of 2012. It'll take about that long for ICS to achieve critical mass. The whole horde of Android phones that are on 2-yr contracts won't be ditched overnight.

It's academic anyway since we're talking about a 7" device. Most current tab-specific apps are optimized for the larger real-estate of 9/10" units. In fact, you can wander over to the Iconia A100 forum and hear the laments of incompatible apps on that HC 7" device.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] BloodyRory:
I read through it all but since Im on an ipod its a pain to quote everythig. But anyway Im just gonna search for a tablet that is good in that price range and is fun to play around with. Ill give you all thumbs up when I get home, sorry, I didnt get home til 11 last night so I couldnt even get on my computer to even view the thread to give you all thumbs up.

I understand that the nook tablet doesnt have what I want and the nook color has the rooting features and development that I want but it has weaker hardware so I wouldnt be able to install ics or something else on it in the future.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] e.mote:
If you aren't locked into the 7" size, a better deal is to look for year-end sales on the Tegra 2 10" crop (Iconia A500, Tosh Thrive, Xoom, Asus TF). The Acer & Tosh were $200 on BF, the Asus $250, the Xoom $300. The 10" is less portable, but the larger screen allows more versatility. If you intend to use the tablet for a range of activities, a 7" isn't a good choice. Definitely not good for emus.

I favor the Xoom and the Asus TF, both for the better hardware and good community support. The Tegra 2 is a capable SoC except for playing HD videos. Most of these Teg2 will get ICS, either officially or via custom ROM.

BTW, you can already download an ICS ROM for the Nook Color. It's buggy, but workable. That said, don't get caught in the ICS hype. It's just another Android rev with incremental improvements. It's not a must-have. Like another said, know what your uses are, and get the hardware to best fit those.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] BloodyRory:
Yeah idc about size, if it fits in my backpack, it works for me. Thanks for the recommendations!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jdebay:
I own both the NC and NT...

I have owned the NC since Jan 2011. Dual boot, run cm7 off sd card, does all that it can. I have over 80 apps working on it. Have read 35+ books on the NC.

I also own the NT since mid Nov 2011. It does Hulu + great just finished watching a 2 hour movie. And have rooted it and it getting mods made for it. I really like the 2 cpu's and snappy screens. It just works for me. Really like reading more on NT than NC, just faster screen stuff. I have all the same apps on it that I have on the NC.

I also own a full windows 7" tablet, but NT is my choice at the end of the day, it does it all.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] andTab:
Unless battery life is not important to you, you should take a look at the Kindle Fire.

They already got CM7 and ICS/CM9 is about to come out for the device.

Development for the Nook Color is pretty much asleep at this point, though at least it is certain to get ICS/CM9 sometime in the future ...

Unless the bootloader issue can be resolved, you will not be able to run any tablet apps on the Nook Tablet - which just plain sucks: it's a tablet that can't run tablet apps.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] HMG10:
If you want storage space, or the ability to play *almost* hd video, then do not get the kindle fire.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] yumms:
Many of us bought the NT because NC had an unlocked boot loader, thinking that NT will also be unlocked.

Now how many of us will buy the next Nook.....I'm already out.

While the phone is off and plugged in to the wall charger, I'm not able to turn it on. The battery icon turns grey and stops moving.

To turn it on I need to unplug charger.

Is this normal?

Thanks in advance.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bfinleyui:
I've got a car, 2011 Mazda 3.

It has a display.

If I use the default, boring, lame, super scuzzy music app, it displays the track title on my dashboard display.

No other app seems to do this. Winamp, Poweramp, Doubletwist, the new ICS Music app, etc.

Is there any way to force this? Some hidden setting someplace, some patch?

I know a fair bit of Java, and might be willing to write a patch for something, for example listening in the background for a track change and sending out the new information.

I can't imagine that, somehow, the android developers who wrote the music app one version ago are the only ones who can figure this out...?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WorldIRC:
Hi Guys,

I created a new folder on my work Exchange 2003 server. The folder, when I go view folders on my phone, only appears under "All Folders" on the bottom, and not within the "Inbox" like every other folder on my server.

Any idea why this is? That folder should not be there (in my opinion) as all the other folders on both Exchange accounts on my phone, are buried properly within Inbox.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WorldIRC:
Just tested on Exchange 2007. Same thing.

Just migrated my personal server to Exchange 2010. Deleted and recreating account on my phone. None of my folders will sync. Hmm...

Hi all devs,

We just released a blogpost http://developer.sonyericsson.com/wp/2011/12/15/ice-cream-sandwich-alpha-rom-available-for-unlocked-xperia-phones/ announcing that we have made an ICS alpha ROM available for users with very good tech skills. This means that you should have an unlocked boot loader http://unlockbootloader.sonyericsson.com, and have the knowledge to switch between different ROMs (read our blog post for further disclaimers ; ) ). Also, please note that the released SW is only applicable for Xperia™ arc S, Xperia™ neo V and Xperia™ ray. Xperia™ arc will not work, as it has different partition layouts.

http://dl-developer.sonyericsson.com/Xperia/ICS/Alpha/Xperia_arcS_ICS_alpha_EULA.html

http://dl-developer.sonyericsson.com/Xperia/ICS/Alpha/Xperia_neoV_ICS_alpha_EULA.html

http://dl-developer.sonyericsson.com/Xperia/ICS/Alpha/Xperia_ray_ICS_alpha_EULA.html

This is the first time we have done an activity like this and I, and all others behind this really value your feedback https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/STRJKQF. The release of the ICS alpha ROM is our way of sharing where we are with the ICS upgrade project. My team at Developer World, also published an article last week outlining the different activities we have to pass before releasing an official ICS ROM http://developer.sonyericsson.com/wp/2011/12/07/ice-cream-sandwich-from-source-code-release-to-software-upgrade/. Looking at that article I would say that we are now in the Bringup phase. You will also quickly see that we have not passed certification and approval phase, since we were not allowed to have the radio module turned on. This means that you can’t make any phone calls or use Wi-Fi. However, I still thought that this will be valuable to the tech community. Youtube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QoIsNYR7XJ8

What you can do is to test ICS applications early on, and you can also give us feedback on this initiative, and what you think about the ICS alpha ROM. Did it meet your expectations? What things would you wish for. We have a link to a survey in the blog post, where you can submit your feedback. But hey, I can’t promise that we can take care of all requests, as I know you will have plenty… Lastly I believe this release will benefit the custom ROM developers so they can see where we are in our process and how we have solved different things.

Share your opinions!

That's nice, but I have two questions.

The final ICS for Xperia will look different, fresh, right? Becuase this one looks just like Gingerbread.

I noticed on that video, that you have to long press home button to get the list of running apps. Isn't ICS supposed to get rid of the menu button, by making it to work like home long press used to in Gingerbread?

Anyone read this its inside the "readme" Also, if you unlock the boot loader, you will not be able to download and install the final Ice Cream Sandwich software upgrade from Sony Ericsson.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] iridaki:
It doesn't worth the hassle of being ported, it's merely an alpha version.

You install it, complete the survey and help SE Development Team to move on to final.

I am very impressed by this move, even though I am secretly a SE fan girl since I bought my X10 :o, I have to admit: I didn't see this coming!! :D

I flashed the ROM and completed the survey. To sum it up:

I would like to see more ICS graphical UI elements in the final version,

it was a bit disappointing to see it looked almost exactly like GB.

I like SE UI better compared to AOSP, but Google has taken great steps in ICS and I feel the SE ICS ROM should be close enough to AOSP. For example, lockscreen should remain intact.

I can't strech out enough how much I agree with knzo about the kernel.

Please please please don't leave us with .32.9, we need an up-to-date kernel.

That's pretty much it. Again, thanks for sharing! ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] zangetsu2188:
Nice job!

Please upgrade the kernel to version 3.x

Its still on 2.6.32 (the one that was used on Froyo, and GB is 2.6.35)

[Xperia Arc Android Development] vaibhavknockout:
IT WORKS ON ARC TOO. Period. I just flashed it on my xperia Arc and it works on it without any lag. Things i have noticed so far (mostly stated by SE already)-

1. No connectivity whatsoeve), just to show off what sony has developed so far (which is the purpose of putting it online by SE). My comments, looks gingerbreadish (same app drawer, no widgets section in app drawer, same add widgets by long press on home screen, same dock as SE UI).

2. SE dropped the face unlock from Arc S ROM (probably due to lack of front facing camera).

3. Photo widget looks much improved and polished.

4. During playing music controls work on the lockscreen.

5. Same old gingerbreadish lock slider (C'mon SE change it please, it's ICS).

6. Build number is 4.1.C.0.6.

7. Galaxy live wallpaper changed to black hole, with selected ICS wallpapers.

8. Kernel version is 2.6.32.9.

My personal views on this alpha ROM are that if considering that these are not the final developments from SE (implicated by the features shown off in the video with emphasis on music widgets etc.) it is good. On the other hand if the gingerbreadish look is deliberate, then it's a serious concern because this UI defeats the purpose of having a sleek minimal UI and Roboto font in ICS to make it look smart.

Chao,

Hey Sony (no more SE),

I'm a oldest fan of you as u can see my signature :). these are my feedbacks

1. update the kernel version to 3.

2. common S It's ICS where the original lock screen ? I was in lov with it :)

3. add something to camera because take a look at quality of C905 and Arc ? 8MP see the difference WTH C905 better with cybershot... (Still using the camera phone)

4. add the next and previous song by volume buttons. it was my favr in Sony

make it consider on future phone, make a cybershot phone again my dear Sony

will post in new thread soon :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dannejanne:
For those of you that have tried it - is hardware acceleration implemented and if so is it noticeably smoother than Gingerbread?

As for UI. I am hoping SE stays more true to the original ICS than what we see here. Like the lockscreen for example just to name one thing.

i am trying some custom kernels on this ROM but the touchscreen isnt working (it doesnt recognize the touch), though the getevent is returning correct events @ /dev/input/event2... as i am pretty sure u must have patched the kernel for ICS compatibility...

i request you to kindly release these patched kernel sources so that the devs(and users) can enjoy this even more...
