[Eee Pad Transformer General] skythra:
I bought the transformer because of the dock, if it didn't have a dock i would have got a different tablet.

For me it's not about being a laptop, but instead a proper netbook; with the crazy long battery life i can take it on flights (have done already many times) take it overseas and only charge it every couple of days, take it to work and leave it unplugged etc.

But not just that it replaces nearly everything I'd do on a laptop frankly. These days i don't spend hours gaming d2 or sc1/2 dota etc on a laptop, it's all done at home on my cable connection with physical wired lan. The laptop would be purely for emails/web.

I don't edit documents on a notebook rarely, but i take a lot of notes, used to use notepad 100% of the time for that but essentially that's what the asus dock allows me to do.

The dock for me is what makes the asus transformer and will make the prime. If it didn't have that i'd switch to a different tablet (which is a lie, I wouldn't own a tablet at all).

Here's the thing, I compare the tablet to the asus eeepc notebook, the notebook is a bit cheaper, but thanks to the synergy between my android phone and the tablet, all those trivial things i paid 10c-5dollars on all work on the transformer. And they were designed for it.

Then you compare workflow between the eeepc notebook to the eeepc transformer and you realise that being able to press the screen is faster and, more natural than the notebook. Then you compare web browsing and save a few sites, almost all of them work nicer (with zooming and useability) than on the windows environment.

You start to compare how much use you get from that little eeepc notebook vs the tablet and you really see how much better value from money the dock gives.

Of course before this i had a dual SLi video card XPS m1730 which weighed 9kg's and took my whole carry-on allowance, so it was getting a bit ridiculous for me to take that on flights which are pretty common for me, versus getting a super portable notebook when i know I'll never play games when i leave home.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] carhauler1969:
The main reason I wanted a TF was because it had a keyboard dock. It eliminates the need for a USB, or BT keyboard & or mouse. Bonus it gives the tablet tremendously longer battery life, & is a lot more flexible than a netbook. I really wanted this device to replace my beat-to-hell laptop that's been bouncing around in my truck for the last 4 years. :rolleyes: I got my TF & dock for Christmas & couldn't be happier with it. :D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Jessecar96:
I have a dock and I love it. One thing I would like is more games that use the mouse and keyboard though. I've heard people having problems with sounds coming from the dock, but that's never happened to me. I would definitely recommend it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] sandiegopaneraiguy:
I cant imagine mine without the dock... I just love the look on peoples faces when I pull the monitor off of my netbook!!!

anandtech.com/show/4277/asus-eee-pad-transformer-review/9

This is a review of the released tablet, not when the engineering team was drawing out the plans for the device.

I personally love the dock. It is the main reason i purchased the tablet, aside from it being a Tegra 2 device.

I would much rather have the dock support it to watch movies than have some cheesy looking support case wrapped around it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mikewire:
I love mine, and is one of the reasons I went with the TF in the first place. It's so nice for typing replies and it's just better than my Dell mini9 for typing on. So far I'm loving the combo, I don't understand why other makers haven't gone the same route for accessories.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dieselfiend:
I own a keyboard dock for my Asus. Mainly I use it to re-charge my tablet once it goes dead. With the keyboard dock, you can also use USB drives. The location of the touch pad is a bit annoying though. I keep bumping it with my palm as I type. Aside from that, it's a pretty good thing to have. I can see it being useful for people taking notes for school or something like that.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wbrands:
The dock is one reason I chose the TF. If you want one you better pull the trigger soon because they seem to be getting low on supply.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] longview:
Just bought the dock today and it's super cool, the keyboard works pretty well (it's not windows so I'm getting used to the keyboard shortcuts), I don't use the trackpad too much so the dedicated button for it is useful.

It can also charge my phone using the dock battery, which is brilliant!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] crockashat:
I use the dock about half the time I use the TF101, added run time, allows for added storage (extra SD slot), can charge phone(or MiFi) off of the USB port and it works as a prop stand for watching movies, etc. well worth it to me.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] luna_c666:
use two fingers to scroll, left or right and up and down, and pinch/zoom function on the trackpad as well. It has multitouch capability. The USB ports are enough to have bought it, plus the way you can dock them and close it negates the need for a carrying case.

---------- Post added at 04:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:08 PM ----------

I too have a USB powered external, 500GB, but the dock will power it fine and I can basically expand my TF capacity up to nearly a terabyte with all the USB ports and SD card slots
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ckuke4:
It takes some getting used to, but using the keyboard and touchscreen together is really great for lots of tasks. The dock is worth the $99 just for the sd card slot, battery, screen protector and usb ports :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dougstoner:
anyone know where to get the best deal on one?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jeepjeep2010:
My keyboard dosnt get used as often as i thought but still very useful, especially for school. the main reason ibought this tablet was the fact it had the keyboard plus im waiting for a way to use eclipse since the tablet im testing my apps on is faster than the computer im coding them on....
[Eee Pad Transformer General] rokk09:
the dock is the main reason i chose the TF101 as it allowed for more flexibility(more battery life,additional usb connectivity...)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mediumsteak:
Canadian multilingual version is absolutely terrible as keys are cut in half. makes users suicidal

love the tablet though
[Eee Pad Transformer General] FrayAdjacent:
Get the dock. What's not to like?

6 or more additional hours of battery life, TWO full size USB ports and a full size SD card slot are hella nice to have. Both of my digital cameras use full size SD cards, and it flat out disappoints me that full size SD card slots are not being used on full size tablet devices. There's real estate available! And full size SD cards are cheap these days.

I'm going to keep my TF and dock for a while I think. Maybe in the summer or fall, I might upgrade to whatever the latest TF is, but for now, the TF101 does everything I need it to.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Nutsonfire:
I like the dock when watching videos or on the move because it gives me extra battery and I don't need to hold the tablet (which gets annoying after a while).

And when you have to fill in forms etc (like eshops) its very useful to have a real keyboard.

ROM: SC V0.5

KERNAL: KGB 1212

RADIO: EH03

I am trying to enable "Stay Awake" in the development section, but after every reboot it becomes disabled. I heard this might just be a GB-specific issue without a fix?

Also, while someone might be lurking, is there a reason the touchwiz4 launcher MOD for SC V0.5 does not allow widget resizing like it does in TSM Res 1.2?
[Nook Color General] Thibor69:
I want to use PhireDrop MIUI V2 from my sdcard. Is it safe to format my emmc (internal memory) if I have a working CWM on my sdcard ? Then I can boot to CWM and install the rom.

Please let me know !
[Nook Color General] votinh:
Is it safe?

Is it safe to format your PC running Windows/Linux/MAC OS if you have the OS disc?

What do you actually try to say anyway?

You run a ROM from uSD, you want to format eMMC (what is your purpose?), you have a working CWM uSD? (another uSD?)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ready5:
Anyone else notice the notifications stutter with the screen off? Screen on, everything sound ok. I get occasional pauses on google music with screen off.. but not the stutter other describe. Curious to see if anyone else has this issue?
[XDA-developer encyclopedia] Omcho:
Voip stands for: Voice over Internet protocol

This is a technology or set of standards for delivery of telephone calls and other voice communications over the Internet.

Advantage to normal phone calls?

The major advantage of VoIP is its lower cost compared to a normal phone call.

Disadvantage?

Some do not have the 911, 999 or whatever your national emergency line service is.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SaulBack:
I have been reading on how to compile android 4.0.3 and have my linux system all set up. I have a few questions before continuing.

From my understanding, there are a few components to a full working phone (please let me known where I am mistaken):

Bootloader

Radio(s)

Recovery

Kernel

Android OS

Gapps
​

What exactly is being compiled when I retrieve the source from google? My guess would be the recovery, kernel and android os. And the bootloader and radio are proprietary?

Where does one get the Gapps? Pulled from a stock phone maybe?

When flashing with

fastboot flashall -w

that erases cache and userdata, and it flashes the recovery, the kernel and the os?

What exactly is CWM doing when "installing from zip"? Is that pretty much a "fastboot boot ???"?

Once a developer compiles the source, how does he package it ready for CWM?

I don't intend to be a rom developer, but I love to tinker and I like to know what exactly is going on. It makes me a bit more comfortable flashing different roms if I know exactly what is going on in the system.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] agreenbhm:
I'm no dev, although I'm compiling ICS as we speak just to tinker, as you put it. I believe its only the kernel and Android OS that is compiled from the Google source. Bootloader and radio are proprietary, like you said, and I'm not sure where the recovery comes from, but I know when I compiled from source on my OG Droid recovery wasn't included.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] silow:
Install from zip runs a Recovery API that allows scripts to be ran to perform various tasks on the phone. You can extract and look at these update-scripts on packaged ROMs in the development section to get an idea.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kruxoli:
Hi, I'm running ADW Launcher on my SGSIIE4GT and I want to change the App launcher icon from ADW's stock image to the one that's on ICS...How would I go about doing this...? Thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] il buono:
Assuming you have the ICS icon downloaded, double tap (if on the dock) on the app launcher icon, got to edit, click on the image and then choose the icon from the gallery.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mazook98:
Okay: This is easy-peasy.

First, long-press your app-drawer icon and pull it out of your dock.

(You'll move it from this:

View attachment 826338

to this:

View attachment 826339

Next, long-press the icon again, and this will pop up,

View attachment 826343

press edit, and you'll see this:

View attachment 826350

Now, you can put whatever you want in its place, like this:

View attachment 826356

Finally, after you have the new icon picked out, you'll see it on your homescreen:

View attachment 826358

then, just long-press it and drag it back down into your dock, like so:

View attachment 826357

And, you're all done.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kruxoli:
THANKS!!!

Thanks for the help. Worked like a CHARM. Honestly, I thought it was going to be MUCH more difficult than that...

Ok I turned off auto rotation. its VERY annoying when I am lying in bed browsing and the stinking think keeps rotating the screen.

problem is now "I CAN'T" rotate when I need to.

core problem is pictures. it keeps rotating my pictures.

so its displaying pictures 90' off axis. the only pictures it does not rotate are ones I shoot in portrait. those the picture axis remains inline with the screen axis.

but if I shoot a landscape picture (phone on its side) it DISPLAYS it rotated in PORTRAIT orientation (ie using 1/3 the screen) instead of LEAVING IT the same axis as the screen not the phone.

since I don't have auto rotation turned on .... I can't "rotate" the picture by tilting the phone again.

is there a way to STOP the camera auto rotating or adding rotation info to exif ie anyway to force ALL pics to rotate to the same axis as the screen (long side to long side)

OR is there a way for me to FINE TUNE auto rotation so its not so stinking sensitive? IE make it so I have to tilt A LOT FURTHER before it "rotates" and then I could turn auto rotation back on ???
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] polska2180o:
Install smart rotator

Turn on rotation

Go into the app and turn everything to auto rotate

Than turn off everything you don't want to rotate

This order works best...if you did the opposite you will have some issues with the camera at least thats what I found.

NOTE: This will not fix the home screen issue. :)

Installed the app so far working very well. thank you for the suggestion. I wish I could justchange the angle that triggers the shift.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] killer2239:
So I tried to do some searching around multiple sites, and couldn't seem to find any answers.

Is there a Dev on the CyanogenMod team that is supporting the CDMA Galaxy Nexus? I have seen multiple Kang CM9 roms, but nothing official from any devs. I am not asking for ETA's or release dates, I just would like to follow the person on Twitter or Google+ to see any updates or progress they talk about. Also, is there a site for the change logs for CM9 yet or is that still pending the server fix for nightly builds. Any links or names would be helpful.

Thanks for any info in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] killer2239:
No one? I found this on github

https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_device_samsung_toro
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sn0warmy:
I know there are a couple CM devs who have the Galaxy Nexus. While I haven't seen any mention of working on CM9 for it, I would be amazed if there is not a developer working on it right now. I'm sure there will be a stable build releasing soon.

I'm personally holding off on even rooting my phone until an official CM9 ROM is released. Stock ICS is more than adequate for now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SamsungVibrant:
Isn't the nexus line the most supported phone by devs?

Which Android phone out there gets the most development support from the community? I'm just curious.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aaronpaws:
The Nexus One was the most well supported phone I ever owned. The Nexus S took a while to get going (come to think of it, the n1 did too, wish I would've stuck it out with my S), but eventually had a great dev community. The OG droid had a great dev community as well, as did the HTC desire (due to being so similar to the n1). Recently, the international galaxy s2 has been getting a lot of dev love because its such a beast internally. The galaxy nexus is showing incredible progress for as long as its been out for. I find it takes devs about 4-8 months after a phone's release to really start showing some impressive stuff. CM9 in February or March will be a milestone for this phone and will definitely deliver a hefty helping of tweaks / mods to ICS. I've seen a lot of great devs working with the Nexus so I'm not too worried. I, personally, don't even have mine rooted yet, because I'm waiting for the dust to settle. I'm not the crack flasher I once was and ICS is so damned good on its own that I'll probably wait for a nice, feature-complete version of bugless beast or MCR to come out (probably only 2-3 weeks). CM9 will most likely be my rom of choice once that's out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
There are already CM9 kangs in the CDMA forums. CM9 isn't out yet but once nightlies roll out we'll be good.

-Galaxy Nexus

-Asus Transformer
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spencer88:
The top 2 I can think of is the hd2 and the evo 4g. I have the evo and there are tons of roms for it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] killer2239:
Several of the early Droid phones were very popular with Dev's because they were so easy to unlock. As for newer phones, it seems to be the Nexus devices and any that are easy to unlock.

Can't wait for nightly builds of CM9 to start.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sn0warmy:
The phone has been out for like 2 weeks people. Give it another month or two and this place will be booming with development. Relax and enjoy the phone as is for a minute. The development will grow. I promise.

I normally have my Android phones rooted within 1 hour of getting them out of the packaging. However, I haven't even found a single reason to root this thing. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RickROM:
I'm also holding off on modding it until CM9 comes. I need to stay on stock for a while so I can make comparisons.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotleadsingerguy:
Same here. I haven't done a thing with it...I'm completely satisfied with the OS and everything. If only the signal issues could be fixed I'd be a happy clam.

Kind of stinks that I get 0 signal in at least 1/2 of all places I've gone in the past week and a half. I don't mean 0 bars, I mean I can't make/receive voice calls and I get no data connection when trying to use any app that accesses the internet. Text messages send, but it usually takes them 20+ seconds to do so. This kind of connection quality is horrifyingly bad.

[Samsung Captivate Glide] adamdipro:
Hey everyone, most people might already know this, but I think it would be nice to compile everything we can do with our Glide's now that we have root, feel free to add to the list!

1. Install Root Explorer or similar file explorer:

This program will allow you to access areas of the Android file system that weren't accessible before having root.

2. Install Titanium Backup:

This program allows you to backup all of your apps, app data, and settings. great if you are messing around with the phone and run into trouble, just remember to save the backup to another source in case you can't access your phone at all.

3. Supercharge your phone!! (by zeppelinrox)

go and read this thread, follow the steps and see the results! I did this and it worked. Also an interesting read.

What other cool things are you guys doing with root? post it here!
[Samsung Captivate Glide] doode2011:
I'm on the same boat with you as root explorer and titanium backup :D, but never heard of supercharger till now.. I had an HTC Desire HD (still do but never use it anymore) but it wasn't my regular use phone, it was more of a "HTC Player." And I tried the supercharger, but it kept coming up as "[[: not found" which was out of the ordinary. Don't think I'll be sticking with it sadly.

Still have to do that update in an hour, really hate how AT&T doesn't allow you to "update" more than once a day.

I'm still trying to learn the in-out of modding. Not that experienced yet :(
[Samsung Captivate Glide] adamdipro:
Hey, did you install BusyBox? I had trouble at first as well, then I installed a different version of BusyBox from the BusyBox installer and I installed it to a different location, Supercharger worked after that
[Samsung Captivate Glide] gabby131:
There are two busybox installer programs I use, one is from Stericson, and from JRummy16. JRummy's busybox worked for my SGS Glide, but stericson does not even install. A complete opposite to my Captivate and Infuse, I have stericson's busybox on them but jrummy's doesn't work.

If you don't like to get Root Explorer, try File Expert, it also has root access which can be activated in settings, it also has file sharing like web, ftp(s), http(s). I have both, but prefer Root explorer for it's very basic and easy to use.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] gtdRR:
Just curious, which supercharge setting are you using?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] doode2011:
I tried to get the update first, but "Update is Failed" yet again, and when I tried to do script manager, it said I didn't have root access, so i was confused. Checked titanium backup, no root access either. Then I had to re-root the phone, delete bloatware. I checked titanium backup again but it said I didn't have root access, but everything else did (Script Manager, SetCPU, Busybox Installer). Supercharger is working now though.

Living the life of Trial and Errors.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] adamdipro:
Hey, I think the same thing happened to me as well, after successfully getting the supercharger script to work, I went and tried to run the BusyBox installer again to find out the version I installed, and it said "Error Root access not detected"

It appeared I had root in all other apps, so I uninstalled Super User and BusyBox installer, and re installed them, now Root isn't working for any program.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] doode2011:
You have to re-root again, sorry :( Do you still have titanium backup? Because the busybox version for that is 1.18.4, not the recommended 1.18.2. Uninstall titanium before or after re-rooting, and get busybox installer from jRummy16. Then run the script and you should be okay.

But if you have a backup folder for titanium backup, move the folder onto the computer where it'll stay there forever.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] lambgx02:
My list:

- Static the phone's IP on your DHCP server

- Install Samba. Then create a link on your desktop to \\yourphone\sdcard or smbmount on your *nix box. Great way to transfer media.

- Install QuickSSHd, and bind on :22 (yay)

- Install your choice of full VPN services (ie. openvpn) so you don't have to constantly redial with the built-in client

- Bring up a chroot()'d Debian environment, and apt-get install build-essential; full GNU toolchain on your phone!

- Install ROM Toolbox and remove all the carrier-bundled crapware

- Overclock (running stable @ 1.2ghz, currently)

- Install Better Terminal Emulator Pro (though this doesn't require root, you can also dump a lot of useful binaries in /system/xbin; be careful!)

After all of this, you'll have a nice portable linux workstation that you can access directly via CIFS & SSH/SFTP.
