Wow - the HDMI-out capabilities on this thing are awesome... I played a 720p video via the HDMI-out and it looked great. It actually looked MUCH better than the same thing done via the Tranaformer!!

That basically makes it a full 1080p media player as well.

I'm starting to like this little thing more and more as time goes by... Custom ROM makes it run even better with better access to Market apps, etc...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] timrock:
glad to hear that. my daughter will love this. No more "daddy, can i play on your tablet".
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Christian Troy:
it's inside the source code of 8192.ko module... there's a "ifdef has_config_earlysuspend" which shuts down the network when the display goes off... I hope allwinner's devs will fix it someday (or at least they'll release 3.0.8 sources)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jtrosky:
Ahh... sucks to hear that, but at least I know why now.... thanks for the info...

Other than that, this little thing has really grown on me!! It was a great purchase!!!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Woody:
When you say Custom ROM, are you talking about the Chinese ICS Kang that is on it or did you find some development for it? Think with enough creativity it can be rooted?

Glad to hear it is working out for you and I look forward to reading/hearing more about it. Nice find, even if Horndroid wouldn't touch it with a 10' cattle prod.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jtrosky:
Actually, there is at least one custom ROM for it here (Elvish):

http://www.flashmyandroid.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=197&sid=42a545ff2e821cecfa50748b7b709f55

My understanding is that it comes pre-rooted... ALthough, I installed the custom ROM right away (which is also rooted and has SuperUser, etc), so I can't say for sure. Even the newer versions of the "stock" ROM include the regular Google Play market now as well.

In actual use, I haven't had any issues with the screen disortion when holding the device. I had assumed that during regular use, that I would apply enough pressure on the back of the device to cause the distortion to show up, but that hasn't been the case at all. Every time I use the device, I like it more and more, to be honest... The small size ofit makes it "fit in the hands" really nicely...

I even tried the web-cam and was surprised at it's quality, given enough light.... Even though I'll never use it, I know the kids love to use the cameras for web-chats, etc...

That and the video capabilities of this thing continue to impress - even on the built-in 800x640 screen, everyting looks and plays great. HD stuff looks perfect when connected to an HD TV via the HDMI-out....

Haven't been able to test the USB->Ethernet adapter yet becuase I don't have the correct type of USB cable laying around....

All in all, it was WELL worth the $110!!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] flindil:
I paid for mine on April 1st through paypal, havent received any confirmations from them or a reply to several emails I have sent them enquiring about my orders status. How long did it take those of you who also ordered one, to receive the tablet?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jtrosky:
I paid for mine of March 31st. and received an email from FocalPrice almost instantly thanking me for registering with them.... I just checked and I recevied a total of (4) emails from FocalPrice, throughout the process (saying hey recieved my payment, that it shipped, etc...).

That being said, I did use a coupon with saved me $12, so I opted for the expedited shipping as well.... But, you should have at least received some email from FocalPrice... If not, something is wrong - did you check your Spam folder?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jtrosky:
One of the biggest benefits of ICS is that this 7" tablet is actually considered a tablet, whereas all of the other cheap Android 2.x tablets are actually seen as ''phones". Even in the play store, I see Staff Favorites for Tablets, instead of just "Staff Favorites"... So, I have access to all tablet apps, which is really cool (except for tegra-specific apps, of course).

That being said, if you don't have good eyesight, this may be tough on you! At the defauly of 120dpi, everything is pretty small... I did try increasing the dpi, but anything higher than 120dpi and the status bar goes to the top (and you lose your soft back button and soft volume buttons, which are critical on this unit!)...

Like I said, it really is growing on me - it's the PERFECT tablet for kids, in my opinion, or for anyone looking for a very small, powerful and inexpensive tablet!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] timrock:
i paid for mines april 4th. i didnt get an email, but when i went to check the status, i noticed i had a message asking me to verify my address. i did that. checked again the next day, another message asking me for the last 4 digits of my credit card. i provided it. now its just sitting at "paid & unpacked", but it has a shipping method of DHL.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jtrosky:
Strange - I had no issues -I would give them a call (if they provide a phone number). I've officially lost possession of mine unit to my 10 yeaar son, who is loving it....

The more I use and read about the Allwinner A10 SOC, the more I am impressed - I would look into this tablet for sure if you are in the market for an inexpensive 7" tablet. Having ICS on it is awesome (and it's actually stable running ICS)!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Contra1971:
lol, I may order 1 just to test it out
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jtrosky:
I'm acutally thinking of getting another one being that my son stole the first one!!

Probably the biggest drawback is battery life, which isn't all too great (probably due to how small the device is ).

For $100, it simply can't be beat. I'm impressed....
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jtrosky:
Anyone else receive their A7 yet? Just curious to hear what others think... I love the little device - took it with me today while sitting in a waiting room today (it fits in the inside pocket in my jacket) - it was the PERFECT companion while sitting in a waiting room! The 35-minute wait time seemed like 10 minutes! :-)

Anyone else have any thoughts?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Tybalt39:
From my brief review on another dedicated forum (TabletRepublic)....

So, after a couple of weeks with this tablet, I have come to a few conclusions.

1. Screen

The capacitive screen isn't as sensitive as I would like. I have to hold position on a button for a couple of seconds before my touch is recognized.

Alignment: I have to press just above my selection in order to be recognized.

2. Ports

Love the HDMI out (once I got an adapter cable)

Really appreciate USB Host. Allows me to use a thumb-drive for file transfers. Also, it recognizes a mouse (even provides a pointer on the screen) and keyboard.

Wish it had a dedicated power port.

I Like the microSD slot instead of a full-sized slot.

3. Case

Doesn't feel solid. It "creaks" when I hold it.

Wish the front was glass edge-to-edge.

Undecided on the curve of the back panel

Current configuration:

ROM Elvish 0.3

32GB MicroSD card

Current Installed applications:

Skype 2.5 (don't allow auto-update to 2.7)

Netflix 1.7

Angry Birds in Space 1.0.1

Fruit Ninja

Various other games and minor apps

After hunting around for the correct versions of all of the apps for this device and waiting for Netflix to fix their issues with ICS, everything is working solidly. I feel that soon, this tablet will become my primary mobile internet/entertainment device. It comes rooted out-of-the-box, has the Market and Flash (once you upgrade the ROM), and does everything I need (including Ad-Hoc!)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] timrock:
I ordered mines on April 4th. And it still has not shipped. First they had to verify the address, then my credit card, and now they said they had a serious issue. Meanwhile, the money was deducted from my account, the same day i ordered it. i sent them a message on wednesday stating that if my device does not ship before the week is over, they are to cancel my order and refund my money immediately. I will just get a samsung galaxy tab 2 7"
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jtrosky:
Man, that sucks - sorry to hear you had such a bad time... I'm guessing you ordered the white one, right? It seems they ran out of stock of the white one pretty quick, but the black one still say "In Stock". Regardless, it doesn't make it right though!

Please let us know how you eventually make out - now I'm afraid to order a 2nd one! :-)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Contra1971:
All this is a bummer to hear...i think I will try to order one just for the heck of it soon though
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jtrosky:
For what it's worth, Big Lots has a 7" Polaroid tablet with capacitive multi-touch, ICS built in!, 4GB storage, SD card slot, video out, etc for $99 - sounds like a decent tablet. The Big Lots ad also said 1GB of RAM, but everywhere else I read says 512MB of RAM.... Has Cortex A8.

The Hyundai was a little better because it has the Allwinner A10, which I believe is a Cortex A8 + dedicated GPU. It also has a webcam if that interests you....

Sale starts today I think (at Big Lots).
[Eee Pad Transformer General] timrock:
my money was refunded.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jtrosky:
I may try that Polaroid at big Lots today... If I do, I'll post my thoughts.... It's a "local" alternative for $100....
[Eee Pad Transformer General] miketoasty:
There are OG transformers on Amazons website for $265 if you don't mind shelling out a little more for a much better tablet.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jtrosky:
FYI - I picked up one of the Polaroids at Big Lots at lunch today for $99.99.... So far, I'm impressed. Will report more later after I get home and uses it for a while....

Might want to pick one up before they are gone though (you can always take it back if it's crap)! I got the last one at my Big Lots....

Regarding the above post, I have a feeling that most people that order these already have a "real" tablet. For me, I like the smaller size of the 7" tabs - they fit right in my inside pocket, and use it when 'on the go' - sometimes a full size tablet is too big for some quick time-wasting while waiting at a doctors office or something like that....

EDIT: Here are my initial (first hour) impressions, compared to the Hyunadi A7..

- Screen seems to be higher quality (clearer) - very responsive.

- Device seems even smaller than the Hyundai (but a little thicker). The 'frame' around the screen is very small - no buttons on speakers on front of device...

- Sounds is not as good as the Hyundai, mainly because the speaker is on the back.

- Performance seems fine, but I need to test more.

- Seems to be better built than the Hyundai

- Has a 1yr. warranty!

- No camera like the Hyundai.

- So far, battery life seems better than the Hyundai - time will tell.

Overall - for $99 - if you are looking for a general purpose 7" tablet - I'd grab this one.... I didn't think that you could do better than the $110 Hyundai, but I think this might even be nicer!

Oh, I almost forgot, if you do go to get one of these - be careful - they also have another $99 polaroid that has a resistive screen and Android 2.3 (but the boxes are almost identical and they are both the same price!)... Just be careful to get the right one....
[Eee Pad Transformer General] timrock:
A friend was able to get one. She wants to know how you change the apps from Chinese to English. I'm not around her so I'm not sure what the issue is. She was able to change the language to English.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jtrosky:
There are a bunch of "Chinese" apps that come pre-loaded on the device - they cannot be "converted" to english - I just removed them completely.

I would recommend that she install the standard Google Play market (doesn't come loaded by default). She can do some google searches to find out how to get the Market installed. One it's installed, she can install whatever (english) apps that she'd like...

Hope that helps!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] timrock:
Thanks. I will let her know.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Karthanon:
So...

I bought three of them - but used their airmail option for shipping. Asked them to switch it to EMS (and then paid them the $18 for it, which is well worth it, IMO), which they did and I paid over Paypal for it. Took an extra 2 days to do, but now they're showing shipped.

Got the Elvish ROM sitting here on my system, just waiting to be installed on all three for when they get here...meh, I hate waiting.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bsoplinger:

anyone having wifi issues with the device? Is it cutting off and on?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] GT35pro:
These tablets does not have a good gpu so scrolling and some games don't run smoothly.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Karthanon:
whoop...

Sorry, I missed your question earlier...I ordered from the link posted - the white version.

Looks kinda like I'll receive them today - I'm not too pleased that the EMS shipping time was almost two weeks, when its quoted 3-6 days, but I guess you can't have everything!

EDIT: Received them just now - the box took a bit of a beating, and the topmost tablet's case was popped open and the screen was cracked ( seemingly in shipping). The other two are fine, though. I sent a message to Focalprice to see what the next step is, considering I paid for EMS shipping to get it in 3-6 days, and it took two weeks...I hope that the replacement/RMA process is fast!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] timrock:
good luck with that. their customer service sucks. a friend order one as well and the headphones that it came with were broke.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Karthanon:
Well...

...I'll give them the benefit of the doubt - I'll see what they say in RMA first.

A set of broken headphones I really don't care about - the tablet, that's a different story. If I could just find a source for a replacement LCD panel, then I'd just get it and do the speaker/wireless antenna fix right away (unless the LCD panel is directly soldered in and not on a quick release ribbon..).

We'll see, I'll keep the post updated.

As for the tablet itself: With the Elvish ROM, it's a great little tablet for my kids to go on (instead of their mom's Transformer) to play Angry Birds/etc. or read books w/Kobo. For the ones that working, I'm quite happy with my purchase. I find the wifi is a little weak, though.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] timrock:
Can this be rooted? My friend uninstalled some apps and now she keeps getting the "unfortunately the process android.process.acore has stopped" message. Can someone post directions, thanks.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Karthanon:
whoop...

I know the Elvish .3 ROM already was rooted, but is your friend using the default one that it came with, or one of the 'official' releases?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] timrock:
i was able to install that rom.

so i installed temple run, and while it plays fine, tilting does not work. anyway to fix this?

the battery on this thing is horrible. and the touch screen is not too responsive
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Karthanon:
Update...

Just a quick update (to old thread) - Focalprice RMA'd my broken tablet, AND refunded the $ I spent for shipping it back to them, AND also resent the new tablet via EMS, so I received it in a week. I dunno - I had excellent service from them, and would buy from them again...although now that Walmart here has Android 4.03 tablets (Hipstreet knockoffs..) for $98, it would just be easier going there.

Tablet is still working pretty well, and holding up as a ereader/Angry Birds machine for the kids. Happy with it. :)
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] phre5k:
Hello,

Firstly, I am new to this forum. I watched the "noob video" and try to follow the guidelines.

I own a Samsung Galaxy Y(oung) GT-S5363. The baseband version is S5363XXKK3.

My Carrier is O2 Germany.

Now I found that the original firmware's options are kinda limited. For instance it doesn't have different profiles and there is no setting for vibration feedback while typing.

Now I want to flash my phone with a custom ROM. The ROMs I found are for the GT-S5360, but after a short forum search I discovered that I can use 5360 ROMs.

However, the custom ROMs I found are a little bloated. I don't want the ROM to have as many functions as you can pack into it and change the whole look & feel of the phone.

I want the ROM to use as little RAM and CPU as possible. It is not important to have German as UI language setting, but the Swype keyboard should know German.

Now which ROMs could you recommend to me? If there is no ROM out there which meets my requirements, would you recommend me building my own one?

Thanks in advance,

Luca
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] hell_lock:
check out the multilanguage roms in android dev. section.. u can find the rom u like over there
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] Raol Emostar:
Cranium is very minimalistic. So I guess Cranium is the one you are looking for. Theres only a handful of Roms available though.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] Silvane:
No custom rom atm has Swype as keyboard. Just download Swype beta, it has German language support.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] kurotsugi:
hybrid is also known as a light one. if you want the swype. copy swype.apk in your current rom (in /system/app) to your sd card then copy it to /system/app folder in custom rom's zip folder.

btw, you can remove any bloatware from your rom manually by deleting the apk's via root explorer or any file explorer which could acces system's folder.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] phre5k:
Is this possible with Linux as Desktop OS? I use Xubuntu and don't want to install Windows just for messing around with my smartphone^^
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] kurotsugi:
to modify the rom's *zip file you can do it in linux or whatever OS as long as you can open the zip file. to manually remove the bloatware from your current stock rom you should root your device and install root explorer.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] phre5k:
So, I clicked through a few threads with the alternative firmwares. As far as I got it, both the Cranium and the Hybrid mod change the look & feel drastically. Is there a way to have more settings with the Samsung TouchWiz UI?
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] kurotsugi:
you may use another launcher...
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] Raol Emostar:
More settings? O.o Try Creed's. It has Auto Brightness, Xloud, Swipe to remove notifications in the newest version and what not. Im running on v2.0 though.

Original Thread
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] Doky73:
Hi, I recommend EmeralD ROM

It contains German Swype, and just some minimal modifications on the stock ROM.

There's all the stock apps in, but you can remove the unneeded apps from the zip (system/app folder) before applying.
[HTC Sensation] SsBloodY:
So I've decided to remove some Bloatware from my HTC Sensation. I used Titanium Backup to achieve that and I backed up everything before removing. I am using InsertCoin 5.1.7 and AOSP Theme so I am removing everything from HTC. I removed a lot's of stuff and my phone is working properly but I decided to ask you anyway if I removed something essential.

So this is the list:

1. Email 4.11

1.2 Exchange Servicies 4.1

1.3 Mail 4.5.22...

I've kept GoogleMail

2. HTC Sense 2.7(it should have been removed by the tool for aroma AOSP)

3. Google Play movies

4. Htc Location Services

5. HTC Media uploader

6. HTC Message uploader

7. HTC Sense Live wallpaper

8. HTC Slide Show Wallpaper

9. HTC weather sync

9.1 HTC Weather Wallpaer

I am using widget from market for weather

10. HTC MediaCacheService

11. HTC message provider

12. News&Weather

13. ViewVideo

So is any of these missing going to impact usability?

And what are these stuff for, can I remove them:

1. com.htc 1.2.22211...

2. com.htc.demoflopackageinstaller

3. com.htc.fusion.FusionApk

4. com.htc.provider.settings
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

I would look into ROM CLEANER if I were you.

You can remove all of the items on their list safely.

I would not touch any of the last 4 com.htc files.

I believe that these are system files.

- install the cronmod (it could finally find the zip!!!)

- during installation select that I have an EXT partition

I can now boot my phone, but just to be sure, I checked in Gparted and I now have only one big chunck of unallocated space with size 3.22 gb :-s
