He's right. Rebellious isnt going to magically make two more cores grow out of the die. Our devices will still be dual core, but they'll have HW video acceleration.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] SilentStormer:
Nope, we have 2 'ducati' cores that are specifically used for graphics and video decoding. Those haven't been utilized (I think) in any ROMs up till now. Ducati cores require their own special 'governor/kernel elements. Rebellos' job is to write these kernel elements and we are sending him a Nook as we speak. So we will have our normal dual core 1ghz processor with the addition of our 2 ducati cores. 2+2=4 4=quad. We've got a quad core tablet on our hands gentlemen.

Good thought :)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] zaptoons:
Back in December, I got cooped up in a winter cabin, and so had way too much spare time to test my NT vs. a Kindle Fire that someone else there had.

We swapped devices a lot- the KF owner was way more impressed with my rooted NT than I was with the KF. Of course, it was rooted vs. stock but many of the noticeable NT advantages weren't strictly related to that.

In short:

Speed: The NT is snappier overall. It's definitely faster playing 3D games.

Screen: To my eyes at least the NT is slightly better.

Build quality: The NT is sturdier than the KF, and drop tests have proven it. When you hold it to read for long periods of time, the outer bezel is more comfortable in your hand.

Storage: No contest. The most perfect real demo occurred when a friend shared the movies he had on his phone's micro SD card. No problem with the NT. KF was left out in the cold. And of course, no wifi, so no netflix or other cloud services so internal storage was king. I had already brought tons of movies, music and books on my own 32GB card. The only way to share with the KF owner was to trade devices. (The owner had a laptop and could have transfered via that except for: no microSD slot or converter.)

Battery life: NT wins here too. The KF spent a lot more time off in another room at one of the few available outlets being recharged than my NT did.

Suffice it to I was not all that impressed with the KF. It's not a bad device, but in a situation where you're actually using either a lot to stave off boredom, and therefore want a lot of content choices, consistently smooth performance, and battery life, the NT just stomps all over the KF. I don't regret getting it vs. the KF for a moment.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] johninsf:
I purchased this NT for the same reasons as the OP. I am running CM7 which runs pretty well.

NT is nice for the components if offered versus the cost and the SD slot did it for me. 32 gb of extra space and a way to quickly flash are super nice. I like the look of the KF and it's design is clean. Flush screens just look great.

Having purchased a GNexus when Google started selling them again, the ICS experience has given me serious OS envy. Yes, I have considered installing CM9 .004 on the NT but prefer to wait for the 3.0 kernel. The OP for CM9 .004 did its job in deterring this intermediate from test driving.

I check the 3.0 kernel thread daily for progress. If I could develop and help, I certainly would. They are a brilliant bunch from all over the place.

Some days, I consider flashing rooted stock. B&N made a nice experience for the technically simple but I never appreciated their hell bent approach on locking everything out. They will get theirs though since Microsoft is about to rock their house. Best o luck to em both.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] slgooding:
I think you should give the ICS alpha a try. I made the leap a couple months ago and haven't looked back. The usability improvements are fantastic. Even without hardware acceleration it runs solid. Just make a backup and you can jump back to cm7 if you want.

I even tried the nightly build with acceleration. It is definitely smoother, but ill wait until some of the battery life issues are worked out.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] balrog558:
I agree, the newest release seems much more stable than .3, I haven't had a single fc or rr yet. Not to mention that ics gives you a full-out tablet experience. Back up your current rom and give it a shot, you will not be dissapointed.

I've done a little looking around for a soft key mod but very little luck. Is there a mod to put soft keys permanently on the bottom of the screen ? Move the dock up little and put the 4 keys rough below.
[Motorola Droid X2] Travisdroidx2:
Check out button savior but you might need the paid version to set it up like you want but good app.
[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
Moving the dock up is something that has never been done before and would require quite a bit of screen-redoing.

What I used tho do is disable my dock and turn on button savior, placing the keys at bottom center.
[Motorola Droid X2] tatumjef:
i played around with button savior and softkeys app but the problem is they overlap ontop of programs or my keyboard. I was looking for something that made its own area.
[Motorola Droid X2] themrrobert:
The low end touched on this by saYing it would take a lot of screen redoing.

Basically a lot of base code would need overwriting so Android would fit the remainder into the area. Any app won't be able to shrink and redraw everything, nor would Android draw to avoid the soft buttons.

That's not to say it's impossible, I just don't think it's been done yet.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] FlKTION:
A while back I started a thread without looking around like I should have, it was about the "voice going in and out" during calls. The answer was to turn off noise suppression in settings. This did nothing for me at all. I have run a bunch of tests using stock Rogers, TPC, SKY GB and SKY ICS. In every ROM it is like turning off noise suppression does nothing for me. I call my home phone and leave a message while moving my finger over the top mic (that detects sound for suppression) and every-time I get a fade in and out when my finger goes over the mic.

Here is the very strange part, I DL'ed Sky ICS (the real ICS leak) and when I made the call I turned noise reduction off during the call in the menu and no fading at all, works perfectly.

There are so many talented android peeps on this board and I ask you why the hell is this? Why only in ICS does the "turn off suppression" work? I thought it was hardware but if it was then it shouldn't work even on ICS right? Is there any dialer code or script I could use to turn off noise suppression at the root? My business partners and my girlfriend constanly tell me I am going in and out and its driving me insane.

And to people who say "just use ICS LOL" I prolly will have too I just don't want to. And to make things worse I cannot find a "turn noise reduction off" in the settings on ICS so i have to do it during every call.

Thank you so much for listening to this rant and thanks in advance!

[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] Andrewtst:
After few days surfing, asking & testing. I decide to make a easily tutorial for theming in Windows, I think as long you know to use computer, they is nothing much difficult to theming/modifying the .apk yourself.

My guide only cover:

De-compile & compile of .apk

changing the .png file inside .apk

Modifying tricky .9.png file.

Modifying .xml file.

Zip Align the .apk

What you need:

Your phone must be ROOT and DEODEXED.

CWM pre-install recommended, you can simply get this function by installing superatmos / Lucifr kernel.

7-zip - for replacing file inside .apk

JRE (Java Runtime Environment) - required to run the APKtool

Android-SDK - must install before APKtool & Zipalign work.

APKTool Download the apktool & also apktool-install-windows.

Before Start:

Always remember make a backup for any .apk file you plan to change or amend.

Recommended make a flash-able version of origin not amend .apk in-case something went wrong, you can always flash back the original file via CWM. Example if you did something wrong in your systemUI.apk (for statusbar) it will probably make your phone nearly impossible access any part due to unstop FC.

I also like to take this opportunity to THANKS the following user help, without them, all this is not possible. :)

[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] Andrewtst:
De-compile & Compile of .apk

Why this step is required:

You need to de-compile the .apk before you can correctly modified the tricky .9.png and also to see a readable .xml for amending.

Step:

Install JRE (Java Runtime Environment) & Android-SDK.

Download the apktool & also apktool-install-windows, extract the file and put inside your Windows Folder.

Open command prompt (Start - Run - CMD)

Before de-compile the .apk, make sure you copy out your current phone framework-res.apk & twframework-res.apk, lidroid-res.apk only required if you using lidroid-res.apk in your framework.

[B]apktool if [location of .apk][/B]

Example:
apktool if D:\APK\framework-res.apk
apktool if D:\APK\twframework-res.apk
apktool if D:\APK\lidroid-res.apk

Now, De-compile the .apk

[B]apktool d [filename.apk] [directory][/B]

Example: apktool d D:\framework-res.apk D:\De-compile

If sucess, you will seen the following line in your CMD.

The De-compile folder will be generate as seen below.

Now you can amend whatever you like to amend, after done, proceed to following step.

Compile back:

[B]apktool b [directory][/B]

Example: apktool b D:\De-compile

Extra build folder will appear inside your De-compile folder, all file inside here already compile and can use later in your Android phone.
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] Andrewtst:
Changing/Replacing the .png file inside .apk

Amending normal .png no need to de-compile, just extract the file and modified using any photoshop tools or simply replace the .png

Just right click any .apk file and select 7-zip extract to, as seen below:

Now go to the extracted folder and amend / replace any .png file you like to replace. (Remember .9.png file cannot just simply replace, check following post for instruction.)
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] Andrewtst:
Modifying tricky .9.png file.

The .9.png cannot just simply amend using any photoshop and put back, because by doing so, either the amend .9.png won't appear or just simply give you FC in your phone when running it.

What to do:

De-compile the .apk.

Below showing the different between before and after de-compile of .9.png, as you can seen on right image,they is extra 4 black dot + 1 black bar and surrouding with transparent bar, all this area must be keep and not amend during photoshop. The de-compile image will auto increase 1 x pixel + 1 y Pixel.

Just amend without touching those area, save it and then put back to correct folder and compile back.
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] Andrewtst:
Modifying .xml file

After you have de-compile the .apk, now all inside .xml is readable where you can make some changes on the color selection, clock position and etc. by just simply open with notepad and modified.

Before de-compile, the .xml look like below which is not readable and understand by human.

After de-compile, now the .xml is readable and understand by human.

Now you can amend what ever you like, Google/Search XDA forum for which .XML to amend.

Use this color code checker site for getting your desire color code.

After done, don't forget, you must compile back the .xml before it is understandable by Android OS.

Screenshot below showing modifying the sub text .xml to ICS blue color.

Change all

from android:color="#ffffffff to [B]android:color="#ff3f9bbf[/B]

at zzz_tw_secondary_text_sub.xml
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] Andrewtst:
Zipalign the .apk

Why this step is required:

You need to align the .apk to let the Android phone run the modified .apk perform much smoother and better, if you have more not align .apk file in your phone, it will eventually drag down your entire phone performance.

This step is not necessary but recommended.

Step:

Open command prompt at your Android-SDK Tools folder

Type following command and run

[B]zipalign -fv 4 [filename.apk] [filename-new.apk][/B]

Example: zipalign -fv 4 framework-res.apk framework-res-new.apk

A new Zipalign .apk will be generate as seen below, highlight in blue.

Zipalign in batch, save following code in .bat and put in your folder that contains .apk file. It will batch running zipalign all .apk inside, this guide I found from user Grumpy Old Man post at RootWiki. Thanks for this easier method.

@echo off

REM Batch file to recursively zip align *.apk files in a directory

REM and its sub-directories. This is significantly easier and faster

REM than manually zip aligning them.

@echo Zip aligning now...

for /R %%X in (*.apk) do zipalign 4 "%%X" "%%~dpX%%~nX.new"

@echo Replacing non-aligned files with zip aligned files...

for /R %%X in (*.new) do move /Y "%%X" "%%~dpX%%~nX.apk"

@echo Zip aligning done, press any key to exit

pause
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] Andrewtst:
Final Step

OK, done everything? now you need to put back to your phone with 2 method

Flash via CWM - highly recommended

Root Explorer - not recommended as it may not properly change for Statusbar theming.

Using CWM

Make a flash-able .zip to flash at CWM

Not sure how to do, let use a easier way, take any flash-able .zip, use 7-zip and choose open archive as seen below:

Now just drag and drop all your modified .apk inside the .zip file, choose YES when ask "Confirm File Copy" as seen below:

Copy the modified .zip to your root SDCARD and restart to CWM and install. Done!

Using Root Explorer

Temporary copy your modified .apk to your /system/csc

Right click choose permission and set as below:

Move your current .apk to correct directory /system/app

Done! This method is not recommended for framework-res.apk & systemUI.apk, better way still flashing via CWM.

ENJOY HAPPY THEMES! ;)

CENTER CLOCK for SONY XPERIA Z phone.

De-compile the SystemUI.apk, then change some code at status_bar.xml in /res/layout

Step 1 - Find

<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.Clock android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Clock"

android:gravity="left|center" android:id="@id/clock" android:paddingLeft="6.0dip"

android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:singleLine="true" />

Step 2 - Replace Step 1 code with

<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.Clock android:id="@id/clock" android:layout_width="fill_parent"

android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:gravity="center_horizontal|center"

android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Clock" android:singleLine="true" />

Step 3 - Then search for

xmlns:systemui="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/com.android.systemui">

and now cut Step 2 code and paste in bottom Step 3 code.

Step 4 - Lastly find

<LinearLayout android:orientation="horizontal" android:id="@id/ticker"

and past following code beside it.

android:background="@drawable/status_bar_background"
