Ok so I have CM7.1 Alpha3.5 on the TouchPad. It's decent. However, it's just a blown up phone ROM with some tweaks to make it usable on a screen this large. This means that there's no panes in Gmail or other tablet optimized apps.

Now, I don't mean to diminish the work that has been done to things like the overlay for the buttons - that is really a slick implementation - but is there any way/place to get the tablet optimized versions of apps onto this thing instead of the phone versions of the apps? Or should I just shut up and wait for ICS to come out soon?

EDIT: Sigh. Mod, you can move this to the General section. My bad.
[TouchPad General] RyanTX:
I was thinking of installing this, but if what you say is the case (all the apps will be like they are on the phone) then I guess I will wait til an ICS port comes out. I just REALLY want the Android apps on the Touchpad.
[TouchPad General] Colchiro:
Install it! You have nothing to lose. You can boot into webOS OR CM7 via the startup menu.

Don't let one guy's complaints stop you. :D
[TouchPad General] etnpnys:
Oh by all means install it. Its crazy fast and in a worst case scenario you lay an easier foundation for installing ICS when it is available. You don't have to use Android - this will get you dual booting.
[TouchPad General] jzen:
If your talking about google music or netflix tablet versions, if you edit the device id to something like GT-i900 it will load up tablet versions.

At least this has been my experience...
[TouchPad General] etnpnys:
Hmmmm... Can I do this on the device itself or adb to it or what?
[TouchPad General] jgeezy24:
Build.prop using a text editor of some kind will do the trick
[TouchPad General] autonomous-inc:
In my situation, I've had the exact opposite occur: too many apps have told me to purchase the tablet version of their apps, such as SwiftKey for one. Netflix comes up as the tablet version, and i dunno about Gmail, but it doesn't bother me none if it's the phone view, it still works fine.
[TouchPad General] bit1:
Really? I edited my building prop to the Galaxy 7 wifi only since it has same resolution as Touchpad using and is wifi, only. All my apps look gorgeous. Typing on SwiftKey Tablet right now. GT-P1010 Samsung, i used root explorer to and just edit the build prop right on your Touchpad. I think es file will work too
[TouchPad General] FirstNoobToBrickHisPhone:
Those tablet versions are for .Honeycomb OS we use gingerbread
[TouchPad General] etnpnys:
Yeah I understand that - but I'm asking if there's a way to install the honeycomb/tablet versions. It sounds like, from everybody else, that we can with a simple edit of the build.prop file.

I will give it a shot later! Thanx everybody!
[TouchPad General] FirstNoobToBrickHisPhone:
Well if anyone knows how to get the Plume Tablet version to run with a build.prop setting that would be great.
[TouchPad General] Joker Fuel:
Fyi there is a huge difference between "tablet version(hc)" and " tablet optimized " tablet optimized works on larger screen gb units( like our tp)

tablet version is intended for honeycomb devices with the appropriate framework and can only be loaded on honeycomb os.

The reason why ppl are needing to edit the build.prop is for the app/market to recognize our device as a compatible device/hardware on a "tablet optimized " app.

No matter what u do a "tablet version" application will not work on a "phone version " os.

If it were that easy to install a hc application, the current fragmentation would not exist within androids, and ics would not be that important coming out.

Just a food for thought rant since I'm seeing so many God damn threads about this matter lol..

Thanks for listening
[TouchPad General] spunker88:
Honeycomb source was never released so we are stuck with a phone optimized version of Android until we can get an CM9/ICS ROM. There are new APIs etc in Honeycomb that won't allow those apps to run in Gingerbread even if you somehow force installed them. You can find some apps that will display a tablet UI. Here is a few of ones I use that run a tablet UI:

Netflix (really nice tablet UI update that is working great)

OfficeSuite Pro 5

Maxthon Browser for 10" Tablet

Firefox (tablet UI can be enabled in about:config)

What I look for is apps that have tablet screenshots or have been updated for ICS yet the same version also runs on GB.
[TouchPad General] RyanTX:
so once we have an ics port we will have something that functions just like honeycomb does on the current tablets?
[TouchPad General] Leoisright:
For those who want a swype style keyboard, try TouchPal keyboard tablet edition. I may install it in update.
[TouchPad General] Netuser:
What exactly should i put in build prop? Which line to edit and what to put?

Thx :)
[TouchPad General] lvpre:
There is a video somewhere in the forums. There are two lines you need to edit. I know what to enter, but can't remember the exact name of the lines that are changed.

Here is a link to the video: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1381728

GT-I9100 and Samsung are the edits. It still won't let you download too many tablet apps as this is a phone port, but it still rocks.
[TouchPad General] redhooka:
Actually the Honeycomb source was released, it's included with the ICS source.

http://groups.google.com/group/android-building/msg/c0e01b4619a1455a?pli=1

But since ICS is here nobody cares about Honeycomb anymore.
[TouchPad General] Divine_Madcat:
More importantly, the HC releases are not tagged, so it is all random guessing as to which ones correspond to the HC builds..

I am just starting to learn about android and I was having a bit of difficulty following other peoples tutorials on how to root a phone. I have a samsung galaxy s 4g for tmobile with firmware 2.2.1 and am looking to root the phone. If there is another topic explaining this clearly feel free to link me to it and then close the topic. All I need is a tutorial on how to root my phone because I'm rather afraid I'm going to brick it on accident. Sorry if I broke any rules mods, I'm just getting started on android...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Exodian:
You can use superoneclick to root it. Very very easy.

And can someone just give me a very brief step by step on how to do it? I have USB debugging enabled btw, should I disable it or? And I know for you guys its REALLY easy what I'm asking, so sorry about that, I'm just not very experienced about android.

UPDATE: I'm following the video at the end of the superoneclick topic.

How to put latest version of android on SGS4G

Sorry about the numerous posts, I have now successfully rooted my phone (I know its not impressive...). Now I have a few questions:

1. How do I put the latest stock android on my SGS4G? Or the latest "good" version of android on my SGS4G?

2. Since the phone is default on tmobile, I was wondering, will I still be able to do wifi calls? What I mean by that is, when I got the phone, it had a wifi calling app that turned off cell phone connections whenever I had wifi.

3. Will I be able to tether without tmobile charging me for tethering? I do have a data plan.

4. I know rooting is basically like gaining administrator access, but what are the biggest advantages of rooting? Just a personal question to you guys.

THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP GUYS. It really helps.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
It might be better to keep this thread on topic. Your original question is one mentioned many times over in the forum, but since this is a newer thread maybe you can share with others looking to root how you successfully rooted your phone so they can learn from you. Pay it forward in a sense.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] cardboardhome:
Sorry, I noobishly thought I was posting a new topic on my previous reply actually, and when I realized my mistake it was too late. And good suggestion btw.

So basically all I did was, install the drivers of my phone, which can be automatically done with the superoneclick software (in other words, the superoneclick software can install your phone driver itself)

in case your wondering where I got the superoneclick software from it was from:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=803682

And then click http://shortfuse.org/ and download it from there. On the top of the topic on the xda forum, it should tell you the latest version of superoneclick, and download that one for shortfuse. Once you've done all that, all I did was one, turn on USB debugging

1. Applications

2. Settings

3. Applications

4. Development

5. Check USB debugging

Then connect my phone (SGS4G) to my computer, and when the screen pops up on your phone asking you if you want to use it as a flash drive blah blah blah, just exit out of it, and click flash on your computer in superoneclick, from there everything should be self explanatory. Its not hard at all, but I suggest being careful since you can brick your phone (which is probably expensive).

Sorry if I did anything wrong, feel free to correct me.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE PHONE BRAND?

And if you want tell why , post a comment :)

My:

HTC , cause I like 99% of their phones. I'm not a fanboy , i like the sense & android phones and too much the HTC's appearance.

I also like to have 180gr phone , with good quality costruction , LED notifications , and all. I will never buy one another phone brand since i have used HTC's phone , the prices are always high but the quality not changes. Also i think Samsung it's more popular as phone cause they make TV's MP3 and another things. I hate iPhone , their stupid publicity's on the television that shows one stupid feature to grab more iPhone fanboys to spend their cash. For the end i like HTC because:

1. For me are the best since i have tryed 4-5 phones.

2.Semi-alluminium cases and build quality

3.Their UI's on winmo , and also android are the more beatiful , and easy to use.

4. They make only phone's and not washing machines like samsung.

5. They are always the first: Android phone was the htc first to use it , 4G (?) 3D (?)

ZTE* SORRY :)

EDIT 1/08/1012

SEEMS THAT HTC & SAMSUNG PHONES ARE THE MOST VOTED , I WOULD LIKE IF SOME ADMIN/MODS TO KEEP THIS THREAD AS STICKY AND NEVER CLOSE IT , ON THIS WAY WE CAN SEE WHAT BRAND'S ARE THE MOST PREFERED BY XDA-DEVOLPERS USERS!

BRAND'S

It used to be HTC till they let themselves be held back by the crappy Qualcomm CPU's when everybody just outperforms them easily, also their screens are behind the Super AMOLED and IPS tech now being used thus more washed out than the rest, and lack of software optimization

Sammy gets my vote since they combine best cameras, best screens, best horsepower, and actually optimzes their software to work well too. Wish their build quality was better though

HTC,

Sense is a very attractive peace of software they've came up with. First android phone was made by HTC and had Sense. Became so used to it, I now won't buy a phone that isn't made by them...

The Nexus one is my only exception to a phone without HTC Sense, but funny that it is made by them. :D
[General Questions and Answers] -IK-:
I totally agree with you...

After a Magician, the brilliant Universal, the ok Trinity P3600, and the hobbled HTC Tytn II (which only matched previous phone video capabilities after the hardwork of Chainfire and others), that was it for me and HTC.

The Tytn II was powerful and well built (I dropped it off my GSXR 1000 when using it for sat nav and it only got a scratched....ok it was only 40 MPH), but limited drivers...How can you ship a phone that has slower video than an older model as stock?

Anyway, I believe Samsung (with the Galaxy S) was the first Android phone manufacturer that put the fight to Apple and the iPhone, with superior hardware and a slick UI running Android. I believe it also helped create more publicity for Android and turned potential iPhone purchasers away.

The iPhone was a collection of amazing cutting edge hardware (especially in GPU accelerated 3D graphics) and it had a brilliant user interface operating system that made good use of all of it.

I don't like Apple and the way they restrict what can be put on their device, but it's hard to ignore that without the iPhone, we wouldn't have Android as brilliant and superior as it is in it's flexibility, ease of use and multitasking.

We would have another Blackberry style device...urgh :D

I voted HTC for current smart phone brand since that is what I'm using now and have been very happy with it.

love the design, build quality, and the beautiful UI.

I really want to like Samsung but they really need to do something about all the plastic.

plus they need to get away from the Iclone look. Galaxy Nexus is a good start though. hopefully they embrace that design and move on from the current look of the Galaxy S line.

but having said all this, my legacy brand is Motorola. hey, grew up in the era of MicroTac, what can I tell you... :o
