I get best results using stock launcher. I used ADW EX for a bit but went back to stock. As for everyone using Go Launcher, do you guys know whether or not the Go Team has disabled the data collecting feature on Go Launcher? There was a big fiasco concerning security a while ago due to that.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] PVTD:
I use Go Launcher. Is there a way but to share saved configurations to share with other ppl? Maybe make a thread about your creations.

I LOVE to tweak around, but mostly end up having the worst result a tech Dev would have to decrypt in order to set it back to default :P

Some have better luck in making epic launchers :)
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] seraph1024:
I am one of the two people who created Windows Phone Android (getting decommissioned and maybe opensource soon). I have Metro Launcher running on my tablet. Yes I am pretty anal about exact look and feel and this one looks/feel like my Build Windows 8 tablet. :D I am not sure if I want to release it for public use though. WPA was great but too much diverse hardware made it very hard to support.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] bmxrideher:
I use a old version of ADWLauncher EX. The new version is really great for my phones, but gives two menu icons for my A100. It gives tons of customization options while staying stock looking if you want
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] chiikko561:
I would love to try it i have an hd7 and love metro ui
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] chiikko561:
I use go launcher I think it runs smoothly and the like hw my pictures look as wallpaper much better
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] NoSudo:
I like the stock launcher just fine. I haven't tried any others because I haven't seen anything in the descriptions that sounded like they did anything better.

Same with widgets. I have yet to find any widget packs that in the screen caps look nicer or do much of anything useful we cant already do. A few extra widgets I do use and like are the dictionary.com "word of the day", InTune, Dolphin HD bookmarks but those come with the specific apps.

Since ICS has come, NOVA launcher is running fine on my tab !

Work like a charm !:D
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Weefeeri:
now i am using the standard launcher but i like the go launcher ex and launcher pro but these launchers are not so good on a100
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] jahciple:
tried nova and it works almost the same as the stock launcher. don't know which to make my default now.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] wildrat58:
I've been using ADW EX on my phone since Droid, so I naturally just started using it on the tablet/ It works great for me. It just has a little learning curve until you have everything setup like you want. Then just back it up and if you do a reset you can restore everything back.

Another little app I like is Folder Editor. It gives you choices on the type of folder to use and either light or dark, and it's easy to add apps to the folder.

I like to have folders on one desktop for different areas of study. Science, Survival, Radio, Navigation, System, etc. with the apps pertaining to those areas in those folders for quick access.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] lorrisek:
I am using APEX Launcher.... I think this launcher is best because it's look like stock launcher, but with more cool features.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] wildrat58:
You should check out other launchers to see the other features you are missing out on.

There are other launchers that I have used since the Droid first came out a few years ago and some of them did things I really liked but back then when these launchers were being developed there was no map to follow becauae the devs at that time were the trailblazers.

I finalliy settled on ADW then purchased ADW EX and have been using it on all my devices.

I should check out some of the newer launchers to see if I am missing anything.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] thedroidmonkey:
iive tried apex, nova, and the Go launcher HD. ive settled on the Go launcher HD. i use the Go launcher ex on my rezound and love it. im very satisfied twith the Go launcher HD.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] hrdcorsnwbrdr69:
im currently using Nova Launcher Prime. works smooth, and flawlessly for me. and its even themeable. you can use icon packs from ADW and Go Launcher. And you can even set the launcher theme color as your own custom color.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Apex on my tab and I go between apex and go launcher on my phone. Depends on the rom some run 1 better then the other.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] notsointeresting:
The launcher that comes with the ROM I'm using. I think I'm using Trebuchet (spelling?? Lol) right now for CM9
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] thedroidmonkey:
I'm LOVE using nova. Couldn't get used to Treb. on the cm9 nightly.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] SwannyBhoy:
I use apex and hide the dock bar.. Just looks like stock but more customizable :D
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Deshabilitado:
Have anyone noticed? Firefox Beta is available for the A100 but the normal Firefox it isn't ...
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Voltor:
I love Go Launcher HD for Tab, because it's very customizable. And a feature that I like is that I can uninstall apps on the main menu by holdin the icon. P.S.: Sorry for my english.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] bailey2408:
Apex launcher pro. Go launcher not bad but uses too much memory for my liking
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] justjackyl:
same. go launcher really starts eating more memory, and the longer you use it, worse it gets.

Apex is what I use.

Apex and trying out the new adw now. Both seem fine though adw offers a little more animations.

As you might know or not back in november sony announced that they wil split from ericsson this year.

Now Sony is back in buisness at CES 2012 and they announced their first non-ericsson phones(that make our x8 very teeny-weeny:( )Here is a more closer look at the new phones.

But you may ask what is the conection with our x8?Maybe now new-

SE wil finally make an update for our phone!!!!(I hope):D

And they not leave ericsson on true,they just remove the name,to make Sony a unifyed brand!
[XPERIA X8 General] X8invisible:
I didnt said they will 100% update it but now there are more chances
[XPERIA X8 General] RodrigoOgasawara:

Seen an alpha 3 ICS rom. Can I just download that and flash it over my current rom or does it habecto be done certain way. I've flashed before on my evo but this seems a little bit more complicated
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frake:
I'd rather go the full procedure they describe within their thread - imho especially you have needs for clockworkmod. Found that to be a quite safe way for me.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rjumawan:
I would I just don't have access to a pc. Does ICS run fine on your tablet. Is it worth it
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Taximus:
Once you have CWM Recovery installed, getting the ICS Alpha on your tab is not difficult if it's listed as supported in the thread.

Only thing: This is an ALPHA build. That means many things are not functional. The build is aimed at developers/testers.

Having given a shot at it, this build is surely not a daily driver for someone who needs its tab to be functional and reliable. Many of those problems have work arounds however but since the tablet is not mostly used by myself, I did not take the risk of having it be unreliable...

In short: it should work and not eat your hamster... But it is not a fully functional rom yet, be prepared for some trouble... Be sure you know how to go back in case of trouble... and read instructions carefully
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] got556:
If you want a good ICS rom here ya go. FYI!!! THIS IS FOR CDMA TABS!!!

Get rooted and CWM'd via Rodderick's thread in our Development section.

From there do the following (all credit to JT from here on out)

Download http://k.22aaf3.com/jt1134/vzwtab/cwm-recovery-5.0.2.7.tar

Extract the contents. You will have two files zImage and recovery.bin

Odin these two files to your tab while your tab is plugged in to the PC and in Download mode. This will bring your clockworkmod up to 5.0.2.7 which is a must to install the rom I'm about to link.

Next go to this thread

http://rootzwiki.com/topic/11697-rom-cdma-aosp-ics-cm9-build-31-0104-x-2/

At the bottom of the first post download the 3.1 ROM the 3.1 Patch and the gapps files.

Once those are downloaded boot your tab up to normal operations and plug it into your PC again. Now transfer those three files to your tab.

Boot up into clockwork recovery wipe the cache, dalvik, and do a factory data reset. Then flash the 3.1 file first, then flash the 3.1 Patch, then flash the gapps files.

If everything says it installed correctly the only things that won't be working are camera (which it does work in panorama mode) and possibly 3G. (Never tested 3G as I only use wifi).
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rjumawan:
Can you please post pictures and how can I check which cwm I already have? If I already have 5.0 can I just go ahead and flash? One more thing is this a whole new ICS or the ones going around. Thank you much
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rjumawan:
So I checked and I got 4.0 cwm. With that said. I don't have access to a pc. Is there any other way to upgrade to 5.0 cwm? PLEASE someone reply with yes. I'm getting bored with this andcwpuld like to try ICS. Thanks
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phlooke:
Without access to a PC I think you are making life very difficult for yourself.

You do not state what Tab you have; below I linked to the install for the P1010 only...I did this for reference because you will see it required Odin to flash it i.e. access to a PC.

[HTC Jetstream] UkranianDroid:
So I have installed CWM, flashed the kernel to the DooMKernel, updated the wifi modules and attempted to install all of the custom ROMs out there. Every tine I get past istalling the ROM, I go into a reboot loop at the splash screen, almost like a kernel panic or something. Any thoughts or assistance? It could just be a dumb n00b move, as this is the fist time I have attempted to play aroubd with an Android device.

Thank you! :D
[HTC Jetstream] Daniehabazin:
have you tried a factory reset before flashing the rom?
[HTC Jetstream] typhoonikan:
The first boot after flashing a custom ROM takes a while as the dalvik cache was cleared. Give it time. But you should have:

unlock bootloader

root using doomlord's method

flash(install) doomlord kernel

flash wifi module from doomlord

make nandroid backup of current rom(optional but always a good idea to practice backing up data)

wipe cache and dalvik cache

wipe data

install zip from sd card

reboot

(I think I listed everything lol, I'm at work proctoring an exam)

Those are the basic steps. Check out the forums for the exact steps in flashing the kernel and wifi module. If you need more help after running through this list, PM me. :)
[HTC Jetstream] ATT Intruder:

Hi guys, I'm very new to my Jetstream and all the android world, I managed to root it and everything but when doing calls on the GSM network there is no sound, I tried using wireless headsets, wired ones and even speakerphone but no luck, any ideas about it?? I'm guessing that on the build.prop file where I enable the gsm calls must be something else that I need to activate in order to get sound. regards and sorry for the long post

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chasehq11:
Since installing builds 29, 30, 31 I have noticed my battery life shrinking and the xoom running warmer. Am I imagining things or are these builds overclocked upon flashing?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaekidd1012:
Nope, not by default. I'm running EOS 32 and it came set up like this:

Governor: Interactive

Minimum Frequency: 216 MHz

Maximum Frequency: 1000 MHz

Maybe you can use an app like System Tuner to undervolt your Xoom? Not sure what else could be draining your battery so fast while warming your device.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chasehq11:
It could be my imagination and maybe I am just using the device more and giving it a workout when playing with all these EOS builds.

Thanks for the clarification.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nash.android:
Can someone just let me know what overclocked exactly means ?

is it helps to make mobile/tablet faster ?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skinien:
CPUs have the ability to run faster than they are clocked by the manufacturer. The tablet ships with a CPU clock speed of 1 GHz. This speed is specified because the CPU manufacturer has deemed it the optimum speed (in terms of stability and possibly power consumption) for that particular CPU. By modifying the kernel, you can add the ability to change this maximum (and minimum) threshold. Theoretically, yes, if you increase the clock speed, your tablet will run faster.

The clock speed is how many cycles a CPU can do per second. So, at 1 GHz, a CPU executes ~1,000,000,000 cycles per second. By setting the maximum speed to 1.5 GHz, your CPU can now execute ~1,500,000,000 cycles per second. A CPU also has an instructions per cycle rating. So the more cycles you can execute in a second, the more instructions your CPU can process in that second.

You must keep in mind that when you increase the clock speed, you may sacrifice battery life and/or stability (higher frequency needs higher voltage). Additionally, even though we all have the same CPU in our tablets, there are small variances. I may have no stability issues running at 1.7 GHz while you may suffer boot loops running at 1.7 GHz. Furthermore, running at a higher clock speed may cause more heat and electronics don't operate very well when overheating.

Finally, the governors are used to regulate the clock speed. Just because your CPU is clocked to 1 GHz, doesn't mean it's running at that speed 100% of the time. If it's sitting idle, it may be running at ~0.250 GHz (250 MHz). Then, when you wake up the tablet and open an application, the governor realizes you need more CPU power so it increases the "maximum" until either 1) You no longer need additional power 2) You've reached the maximum threshold set by the kernel.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] terrymc2708:
"The clock speed is how many executions a CPU can do per second. So, at 1 GHz, a CPU can process ~1,000,000,000 instructions per second. By setting the maximum speed to 1.5 GHz, your CPU can now execute ~1,500,000,000 instructions per second"

Not sure if I am misunderstanding your lesson. Please understand this no attempt to troll or argue, but Clock speed is a reference of the frequency of the processor. They are basically saying your processor has an operating frequency of 1 Ghz. Instructions per second is measured by IPS (instructions per second). For instance, My AMD Quad Core processor operates at 3.0 Ghz but can handle 42,820 MIPS. They are not directly proportionate.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skinien:
You're right and wrong :)

IPS is a function of clock speed so they ARE directly proportionate.

(Clock speed) X (instructions per clock) = IPS

I used "instructions" to simplify the example but you're right, I should be using another word.

Thanks for pointing that out!
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nash.android:
Thanks skinien

I'm having motorola xoom ... planning to root it to have ICS ... any idea what will be optimal overclock speed for it .... mostly for playing games on it
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skinien:
From what I've seen, a lot of people stay around 1.5. Just make sure you don't click "set on boot" immediately. Use it for a while too make sure its stable at your chosen frequency.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akshunj:
On ICS, mine is super stable at 1.4Ghz. My crashes, no reboots. And I'm using the Lagfree governor, so clearly I'm not locked in at 1.4 all the time. That's just the max speed based on CPU intensive activity...

HTC is committed to assisting customers in unlocking bootloaders for HTC Desire:

http://www.htcdev.com/ruu/PB9920000_Bravo_Froyo_hboot_1.03.0003_R.exe

http://www.htcdev.com/ruu/PB9940000_BravoC_S-RUU_Alltel_UTSI_001-27_hboot_1.09.exe

http://www.htcdev.com/ruu/PB9940000_BravoC_S-RUU_UTSI_028-47_hboot_1.09.exe

After this you must reboot in FastBoot Mode and type in Command Prompt: fastboot oem get_identifier_tokenSubmit

Then submit the token in order to receive your unlock code binary file...

When copying the token, start with this line:

<<<< Identifier Token Start >>>>

And end with this line:

<<<<< Identifier Token End >>>>>

The difference with the official way is that you only unlock the bootloader. You don't get S-OFF so you can't make changes 'on the fly' with Android running, you'd need to do changes with the phone in HBOOT/fastboot mode.

[Desire General] bortak:
it's what I was thinking, what's the point of unlocking it with this.. and if you do that I bet you won't be able to flash an alpharev hboot since you can't roll back hboot version, and running revolutionary won't work since it's different hboot version.

That's my hypothesis on this anyway.
[Desire General] Droidzone:
Yup. Correct. Unless you flash a hexedited version of this hboot, which has the version downgraded. :) Any guineapigs? It's useless, unless you plan to retain HTC's stock recovery to flash custom roms. Which again is useless..

That is self explanatory. But I'm used to us with rational thinking being on the defense.

[Desire General] Droidzone:
Including me.. There's no way to be completely sure that the hexedited portion is the correct bit which decides the version. I flashed a hexedited hboot onto my device, and it did downgrade the version number displayed on the hboot screen, but that does not mean the version lock happens there.

But for fun, you can change the bit that says Alpharev/Revolutionary to whatever you like. ;)
