Don't know if anyone has come across this yet, but I hope to be ordering this soon: Ram mount. Apparently it works with cases as well.
[Xoom Accessories] akaempf:
I have this mount and it is great. Hardly any vibration. Good company and mounts.
[Xoom Accessories] lotus49:
Is the suction cup really strong enough to hold the (fairly considerable) weight of the Xoom?

The suction holder I have for my TomTom is the best I have used so far and even that falls off occasionally with the meagre weight of my TomTom. I don't really care about my TomTom but I don't want to be picking bits of Xoom out of my footwell.
[Xoom Accessories] rccal:
Where are you going to mount this? Just curious, because I can't see drilling into the dash for that.

RE: Ram mount

Ive got one in my vehicle now. I have nothing but positive things to say about it. The customer service I got from Ram Mount was outstanding! They even offered me 3d solid models so I could mock up my build before installing. :D

We use these to mount Xoom tablets on our tow motors. They work VERY well even in a manufacturing environment.

I just ordered myself one of these the other day. It was half the price of the ram mount and review of the ram mount were stating how the arm was a little to short. Anybody has any updated opinions or tips on using the MENB-ME-04-Windshield?

I already know that I would never leave this thing on the windshield with my xoom if i get out of the car.
[Xoom Accessories] llama-power:
I've been using this for a ciuple of weeks now. It is a vent-mounted holder and, as my vents are a little bit to the loose side, I was a little afraid the whole thing wouldn't provide a solid mount for the rather heavy xoom... However, it sits in the car, not as stiff as a rock, but close enough:-) Also, all it blocks are my vents, nothing else:-)

If you guys want, I can post some pictures:-)
[Xoom Accessories] muzik3k:
I also bought this mount and I love it. Work extremely well. I've tried a few other ones and this one is by far the best.
[Xoom Accessories] jm9843:
I've been using a Ram Mount (product #RAM-HOL-MOTO3U) in my car since last Christmas and absolutely love it. It's mounted to a AMPs mounting plate that extends a couple of inches out from the console. I had the plate installed years ago for satellite radio use (no longer needed!). To accomplish the mounting I also utilized one of Ram Mount's arm-style ball mounts (product #RAM-B-101U).

This solution isn't the cheapest, but I think it's the best. It can be positioned in just about any fashion with the double socketed arm, stays off the windshield/out of your line of sight, and is immediately accessible right above the gear shift.

I can post some pics later if anyone is interested.

You will need a DVD ripper and transcoder with the right settings (usually use MP4 for video and audio)

You can read about them here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD_ripper , but watch out - using software like this and ripping DVDs might be illegal in your country.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] DssTrainer:
So I have an sdcard in my Nook tablet... 16gb sandisk.. brand new

I put some divx avi movies on the card in the "MyFiles/Videos"

All was fine and mx player played them fine

Then I needed to do the 1.4.0 rollback so I did a full wipe "Deregister and Erase"

That apparently deletes all files in the "MyFiles" subfolder in both the main unit AND your sdcard.

So I had to add them back after I was re-rooted and now put them into a new folder in the root of the sdcard called "Videos"

But again.. after a reboot of the device without erasing anything... I lost all the videos in there. Anyone else seeing this?

All my other files are still there. I have a folder of apk files that the market won't show me like Amazon TV apk and stuff and those remain untouched. But its like any videos folder get hunted down and erased

Gonna rename it to myvidz and hope for the best.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] succulent:
Make sure it's in /sdcard/My Files and not /media/My Files.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ken408:
I'm a noob to android, but I thought I would share something along the same lines.

Initially I also seemed to feel that files I copied to the sdcard would appear and disappear in the custom B&N library viewer. The thing that fooled me in the library is it lists My Nook | Memory Card. I assumed this was a the hierarchy / crumbs links path to the sd card, but eventually I realized that this is a toggle menu to switch between internal and sd card memory which ever one is darker is active.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Vaizen:
I'm planning on getting an Galaxy Ace and i'm rhinking on installing a custom rom probably icecream sunday or gingerReal, but i have some questions:

1. Do these roms root my device or do i have to root first?

2. In the case of ICS final, if i want to install the latest slaidmod do i have to install ICS with or without tweaks?

3. How do these roms perform in soft gamong like angry birds franchise, zombieville, zenonia, most 2d games

4. If i install slaidmod v2 is it ok if i also install turboboost v8.5?

That's it for now
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Thvmh:
1. No you dont need root only cwm

2. I thought icecreamsunday has mods installed like slaidmod

3. Yes they work fine with games like angry birds
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Vaizen:
ICS final has two versions one with tweaks and another without them but i don't really know whats the big diference and wich tweaks are included so...
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] adeklipse:
1. No. Most ROMs will auto-root your device.

2. You can install the one with tweaks, since (according to slaid) all his tweaks are backwards-compatible with each other. But then, I've never really tried.

3. Quite well actually. I'm not a fan of angry birds, but games like zenonia have 0 lag.

4. Again, according to slaid, his tweaks are also compatible with GadgetCheck's V8.5.

GN running ICS 4.0.2 seem to default into landscape mode when you plug in an HDMI cable and just sort of "sticks" there with no option to change it...

This means that portrait mode apps appear sideways on the TV like so:

[HTC EVO 3D] gk1984:
I've experienced that echo with this phone, 2 others on sprint, and while I had t-mobile. Nothing to worry about. It's a reception issue or codec issue for voice or both. I wish I could help you eliminate it. It's occurred less often for me since sprint has been upgrading their towers here.
[HTC EVO 3D] teedmon87:
LOL I jumped to the spy stuff because its really bad where I'm at and I couldn't think of anything else and the running hot I can't explain like I rooted so I can force every app to close and it still acts like something is running

Seriously, I know its my rom, but its probably the most stable and up to date (last updated on Black Friday) froyo rom we have rolling around. I am running ICS currently, but I do still support ZD, in the rare occasion that support is needed. There are also vanilla froyo and gb themes available, with or without a multitude of lock screens thanks to contributions from the community.

he meant deprecated, not depreciated. meaning, it is old, out of use, and has been replaced (i.e. obsolete due to a newer, better version). i'm guessing 'deprecated' got autocorrected.

That's true. It's like asking which ice cream flavor is best. So try a few and see what floats your boat. But be careful though - if you start with ZenDroid you probably won't get around to flashing anything else. :p

I think Bionix is the most solid to date, but thats stating that we haven't perfected a 2.2.1 rom!!!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Woody:
I am surprised no one has mentioned either Toxic8 or Deranged9. I have had nothing but solid, stable experiences on both if them. I feel that nearly all the Froyos are about as stable as they can get at this point.

ICS has taken over as the flavor most wanted, so not much on the future horizon for Froyo.

pjfriend's alternate root method has worked for me. It allowed me to revert from .21 to .19 and then root using Razorclaw. I was having trouble at first, as I have just gotten my transformer. A note to you, when getting in to recovery, after you see the green NVidia logo, that's when you hit the volume up knocker. Not when you see the two square boxes that have 'factory wipe' and an Android there.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ogredani:
Some answers might be completely obvious from other threads, but I want to ask them anyway to be 100% sure.

I am currently using CF-Root.

The CWM backup, is that a "nandroid" backup?

Exactly what areas of the phone does the CWM back up? Kernel+ROM (with apps, system data etc), or something else as well? I assume that radio and bootloader remains untouched?

Does the backup include the /sdcard directory (which is internal memory after all)?

I assume /external_sd is not included(?)

If I would perform a backup, leave the backup in the /sdcard directory, flash Cyanogenmod, and then restore the first backup, would the phone be EXACTLY like it was before? Including kernel?

Will the CWM recovery still be available although flashing another ROM?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ricey1986:
1) Yes

2) All of what you said, think it also backs up bootloader

3) No as this doesnt get wiped when installing a new ROM

4) no its not

5) Yes its like a mirror image

5) Yes aslong as the kernel you flash comes with custom recovery

Hope it helped and dont forget to hit thanks

Would an FXP or independent developer please consider working on what's necessary to get the semcsuite.apk and stock games running on the CM7 GSM and CDMA roms, please? Even if it ammounts to the enduser being required to modify a cwm flashable zip with the original packages dumped from our original firmware (due to obvious licensing and warez issues), I feel a lot of us would be very greatful for the effort. I love CM7, but would also love to play Asphalt, too.

Found earlier that the new PlayStation Suite apps actually installed without an issue, but I'm getting error codes when trying to log into PS Store.

Now I'm toying around with borrowing apks from the actual R800i generic firmware, but I'm still sure there's alot more to this than what I'm capable of. I've tried before to get the SEMC suite to work on CM7 from the R800x firmwares, but no success.
