Ok I'm tired of the sense 3.0 original look so I'm getting a launcher! I love the sense Widgets tho, WHICH LAUNCHER ALLOWS USE OF ORIGINAL SENSE WIDGETS? I watched a video of adw & it looked like the guy was using original widgets! His sense clock even scrolled like its supposed to

[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
As a devleoper, I can share a developer's spin on the issue.

As far as I've seen and heard, Sense widgets rely on specific HTC framework files which are all closed sourced and essentially owned by HTC, not to be used by 3rd parties w/o permission from HTC.

With that aside, there is nothing stopping others from duplicating the look/feel/functionality of sense widgets and putting them in the Market. Haven't heard anything of HTC seeking legal recourse from "look a like" widgets, etc.

If you saw something you liked, which seemed to offer everything you were looking for from a Sense widget, I would suggest going after that alternative, until HTC releases their code for public use.

I personally wouldn't count on HTC releasing their Sense launcher/framework/widget code for public use anytime soon.

Hope that helps clarify!
[HTC EVO 3D] KaoMinerva:
Thanks so much for the reply! Do you think fancy Widgets is the best alternative then?

[HTC EVO 3D] rvoisine4:
For the clock I think beautiful Widgets or HD Widgets are the best. I use launcher pro plus with launcher pro glass sense skin for the bookmark, friendstream and calendar Widgets and they're almost exact.
[HTC EVO 3D] hads:
I just started using Pro Launcher Plus a few days ago. I was a bit reluctant to because I really like the Sense Widgets. But I found the same Sense widgets for Pro Launcher plus and with a few other modifications like mclock, minimalist text and simple text, I've been able to customize a pretty cool "sense like" theme that' even cooler than the original Sense 3.0 that I was running.
[HTC EVO 3D] KaoMinerva:
Does it have the scrolling sense clock!? I mean, I have used it on evo 3d but seriously bro LPP needs an update bad

Hi, my phone isnt android but my tablet obviously is. I'm in the military with orders to korea and want to keep in touch with everyone, but my phone is a cheap cricket flip phone. All the apps that allow things like this that i could find require me to install the app on my tablet and phone, which obviously wont work. Is there an app (free or paid, i dont care which) that will let me plug in my phone number and send texts from it on my tablet? Skype's text rates are ridiculous, gtalk is great but i can only communicate with other gtalk users, facebook messenger will only be instant for people with smart phones or data plans, etc. A text app will allow me to text everyone that doesnt have a smart phone as well as those that do, and not have to hope they are at their computer to reply. Thanks for any help you guys can give me.
[Acer Iconia A500] dcohio:
Have you tried using Google Voice app on your tablet? I have used it with mine and I was able to send/receive text messages using the Google Voice number I chose. I was connected to wifi when I did this.
[Acer Iconia A500] nifterific:
i have google voice from before i canceled my smart phone plan, i love how it transcribes my voice mails. I dont see a send text option though, even with my new cricket number in it. All i have is an inbox, settings, labels, balance, search and refresh, and the inbox just seems to be call logs and voicemail transcribes. If you can tell me how to set up texting with it i will be quite grateful.

Edit- okay text is under labels, but i cant figure out how to send one.
[Acer Iconia A500] jon-.-:
Download the google voice app on your tablet, and from there you press "compose" and than just type in the number (or select a contact) and txt away ;).
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
I to have cricket .. Google voice works .. as described above.. Also two more..

PALTALK VIDEO chat has a new sms feature.. I have not used it as its brand new..

YAHOO MESSENGER NOW HAS A SIMILAR Feature. and does video chat..

Yahoo messanger for the tablet is now compatable with Crickets sms service.. IT USED to not work..

i would check them out in the order i mentioned above I do use google voice and PALTALK .. the paltalk you get from www.paltalk.com

Good Luck and STAY SAVE OVER THERE... i hear its not much better then the middle east. one of my best Girl Friends just returned from EAU .. she says they treat women over there as if they are a Possession.. i would be hung because im very independent

I have the Zio cell phone It works well well for what it is .. I love the NO contract and i get awesome signal here.. I also have a at&t cell for work and my cricket is better service ..
[Acer Iconia A500] nifterific:
Something must not be compatible with my rom because there is no compose option in voice and in settings the google voice number is greyed out and i cant select it. I'll look at yahoo messenger since i have it installed and hopefully that works. Thank you both for your help.

Edit- the website for google voice has more options than the app. I thought my voicemail number i made was enough, but i made a new number thst works with texting after signing out of the app then signing back in. Just one more question, since the texts show up as from the voice number amd not the cricket number, this means i dont have to pay for the cricket service when i leave, right? I can just use this free voice number to text? It seems too good to be true.
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
As far as i can remember your google Voice ..must have a telephone number to be linked to.. Rather or not its just for the initial setup verification im not sure .

i Use google voice number for things i register to keep text spam off my cell phone number.. Go to CRICKETUSER FORUMS Register and ask this same Question over there. EVERYTHING you ever need to know about CRICKET Wireless is on that forum..

Cricket now offers world wide text as well.. but im not sure if it from over there to us or just from us to over seas..
[Acer Iconia A500] nifterific:
Thanks again for your help, i should have everything i need to adequately keep in touch with everyone now. Seems like its a free number that can route to my existing numbers, but wont require them(aside from activation) if i just want to use the tablet or a pc. so i can cancel my cricket service for the year im gone, thanks for helping me save money. :-)
[Kindle Fire General] Cabreezy:
Hello All,

I'm quite the noob (see? didn't even use zeroes) and I rooted my Fire using the Kindle Fire Utility. I installed market, did CHMOD and all that to the apk, and installed Market Opener. I can get to the market fine, but most apps I want to download, like the facebook app, or the twitter app, I get "Your device isn't compatible" Anyone have any ideas to remedy this one?
[Kindle Fire General] skourg3:
You might be able to fix some of those issues by editing your build.prop to make it look like another device. I believe there is either a utility or tutorial kicking around here somewhere, maybe in the development section?
[Kindle Fire General] That Baker Guy:
im not sure theres away around that until someone does a screen density hack, like with the nook color its baked into cm7. eventually it wont be a problem, for now just google apk you want and download it, with my friends i just have a dropbox shared folder and when ever we find an app that we cant acces in the market we just put it in that folder for the rest of us.

I have the same issue with the sideloaded apps that I originally bought on Android Market with my phone. I don't want to root, but it seems like it would be worthwhile for someone to make a utility that will patch an APK to fool Kindle into thinking the app is made for Kindle.

Of course, then maybe there would be some validation issues between the app and the market.

Thanks for all the suggestions guys, I'll try it out when I get home tonight and let you know if anything suggested works.

I wouldn't have done that. I don't want to set you into panic mode, but usually when there's a problem with an expensive gadget and you're still within the window to return for a refund, I would rather do that. Usually what you get back is a refurbished item or the same item that's been mishandled. I am an OCD guy and I can't stand it when people give me back my device with scuffs or scratches.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
If ASUS ships back a Prime with any sort of structural change to it for improved GPS performance, I'll eat my shorts and post video of myself doing so.

Folks, they CAN'T make this kind of alteration to the device without sending it through the FCC for re-certification. By definition, they'd be changing the thing's RF performance, which is precisely what FCC certification is meant to define.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
If yours is working like everyone else's then it's not broken. If it's not broken, there's really nothing to fix. Not seeing it, they'd have no idea whether or not yours is out of spec which is why they issued the RMA. So, expect it to come back "in spec" which translates to "the way it was" assuming yours is no different than all the others. There's no such thing as an RMA for a design issue and Asus' repair center isn't full of craftsman that meticulously pour over circuits and create solutions where there are none. They replace parts and/or the entire device going with whichever is faster and cheaper.

It could always be possible that they are waiting until they have a plan together before submitting it to the FCC. I would imagine this was a quick turn around time for CES to have a plastic piece and they have not had as much time to focus on the original. Hopefully we will see a modified version come through the FCC shortly.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] indomfp:
They did, it is the Transformer Prime 2.0 - TF700T. A huge kick in the nuts to all of us early adopters.... Hopefully, they allow us to turn in version 1.0 for the new modified back panel on the 2.0, but doubt it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] geinome:
Subbed

Subscribed so i can see the outcome. Mine comes through the door tomorrow.

FCC approval for a device modification surely means asus would have to either

A. recall all their products of that type (in this case the TF201) and modify said RF area on the Prime.

OR

B. Allow customer to send the product in for modification?

Now im not all clued up on the FCC regulations, but thats a general guess and i would have thought by doing that it changes your device. Thus retailers wont accept it back. Maybe even warrenty breaking?

Dont know if anyone knows more about it? Links could be helpful too :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Sokonomi:
Perhaps they simply submitted a revised version to the FCC for approval.

And to reflect this they tag it on to the serial number so its still warranted.

Id be extremely pleased if they solved it this way,

though unlikely because replacing the back is a costly task.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JoeyLe:
Hi all,

I know this article has been floating around here for some time, but this I found rather interesting:

This is kinda the same as with the Prime and the T700/other high-resolution tablets, isn't it? I'm not sure, but it sounds pretty obviously since the Tegra3 GPU isn't very good (yes, it is fine but I'm not sure for those high-res screens?). However I could be completely wrong..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jetbruceli:
I agree. It's the same with a gaming computer. Just because ur monitor has 1080p doesn't mean u can play all games in that rez. U will need a much more powerful gpu. I am certain though the tegra3 can support 1080p but it won't be smooth as 720p like our device. Unless u lower the rez but how would u on an android. Furthermore how ugly games would look who aren't optimize for 1080p.

Nvidia always!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
The question isn't whether there's going to be a performance hit, it's what the performance hit looks like. If it's invisible in everything but gaming, I'd bet a lot of people will go for the HD display and gamers will stick to the lower res. If it's obvious in UI performance and transitions, it makes the benefit of the HD screen a little more questionable. The new chip in the iPad3 and Samsung's new Exynos chip won't make you choose (on paper). Benchmarks are useless except for bragging rights.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] doeboy711:
I have been saying this since people were trying to compare the new acer and samsung back in Dec. The higher the resolution, the more power and resources it takes. Also you have to look at the app market right now. What app's are out that will use that 1080p display...NONE as of now. Once they (1080p tablets) are released, it will be a few months before most apps will adapt to the new higher displays.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] avinash60:
I continue to question the need for having a 1080p 10 inch display- there has to be a limit as to high a ppi count the human eye can reasonably distinguish. Just bumping up the resolution while not working on improving the true render process (in case of games or animations) does not make any sense to me.

A retina display just for the heck of it is not a great idea, at least to me.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] NeoteriX:
For what it's worth, ICS is supposed to be fully hardware accelerated, so the Tegra 3 could be enough to power the higher resolution for everything but games.

Anandtech (who I probably trust the most when it comes to hardware evaluations) seemed to suggest in an early preview that the higher resolution *may* perform ok:

http://www.anandtech.com/show/5348/...-with-asus-1920-x-1200-tablet-running-ics-403

That said, there are still questions as to the benefit of such a high resolution on a 10" form factor designed to be held only 1-2' away from your face. They didn't bump up to 1920 x 1200 resolution monitors until 24" LCDs and up.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] poofyhairguy:
The real issue is that games on Android don't let you pick a resolution for them to run at. Almost all run at the full Res of the screen, which means slideshow on a 1080p Prime.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Danny80y:
I agree, there is just no point..... there is more important things to improve than pixel count....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JoeyLe:
Thanks, at least I am not alone on this idea. It seems like when the news came that the iPad 3 is going to have a retina desiplay all the manufacturers didn't care anymore and just were thinking "We also need that!". I am comparision the text from thread with my HTC Sensation which should have a better DPI:

Transformer Prime: 149

The new Prime: 218

HTC Sensation: 260

and from NORMAL viewing distance both look great. However, when i come closer the pixels on the Transformer Prime are a little visible where the Sensation stays sharp. However the phone has a better DPI then the new res. panel so I'm not sure how that is.

I'm sure it will look some better, but I am not sure if it is worth the wait (again) and also the possibilty of the new Prime itself can't keep up with its own resolution..

Oh, again not trying to defend the Prime here.. I have to return it anyway because of backlight bleeding and am not sure if I want a new one or my money back, however if I see this result I think the resolution is just pure marketing.. I mean who is going to sit with its prime 5 cm from their heads.. lol.

Also, I love how laptop and desktop DPI is half what most phone/tabs are and people are having a fit......

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JoeyLe:
Seems to run pretty good since it is still a pre-production model, however not as smooth as the Prime with ICS yes..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JoeyLe:
Yeah, exactly what I mean.. you can see it if your very close to the screen, but why would you do that, lol.

Oh, btw.. for the iPad 1&2 it still is 132, which is much lower then our Transformers (149,5), never heard real complaints about that.
