Like I stated, I know the Prime is a much better device, and can handle a ton more, just a feature "wish we had it" post.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
i agree. i want any app to be able to be windowed. Maybe those developers will make something that can do that. they seem to be the only developers, creators of stickit & overskreen, that seem to be going in that direction. the people from tablified app also created a floating messaging client. so its only a matter of time before more n more apps will be able to be windowed just like on a PC. thats why i love overskreen, stickit, aircalc, & floating air terminal so much.

Oh god here we go. ****storm imminent. Massive buttrage incoming. FLAME WAR HAS BEEN IGNITED I REPEAT FLAMEWAR HAS BEEN IGNITED.

But, the ipad's gonna have a monster log load of compatibility problems with that because apple locks down their stuff so it's going to be insanely hard to adapt screen sizes especially because there is little variation in resolution for ios devices. For android, this is much easier because you've got devices from 320x240 all the way to the upcoming 1920x1200 tablets.

Add more ram to the Android tablet realm then this would be more advantageous. Sure for simple tasks like Facebook, twitter, one tab browser, just small stuff, the prime would be able to handle all at once. But add in YouTube, more tabs in browser, a game, then bam, where's my ram?

I'm not sure how you have missed this as it was posted ~5198298 times, but how about 15 vids at once on the ram it has now?

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] RubenRybnik:
This is what I'm talking about, 15 vids at once. I believe we have enough ram to make a feasible implementation, I personally am not looking to have even 4 or 5 intensive apps running windowed, but having my RSS reader, a terminal, a video and a 'casual' game def. seems doable to me.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Kailkti:
I stand corrected. Just tried leaving real racing 2, browser and YouTube in memory but I still have roughly over 100mb free.

With 6 tabs open on all flash intensive sites did I start to near the limit. (+ the real racing &, youtube)

we already have the source code for android for windowed apps. it just needs to be included into roms. but that is no easy task. so apple is actually late in the game.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] beekay201:
i for one would like to see tiling window-managers on android, since i am a tfp+dock user.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rorytmeadows:
So you guys really want development to spiral in the direction of "windowed" apps? Didn't you purchase Android products for an alternative for Windows? Honestly, if it heads in that direction, you're going to just eventually have a slow bulky java app and you'll be begging for the next Tech powerhouse to design another OS as an alternative...

Jeesh...

Ever heard of Linux

Many flavors of Linux all have window based desktops available for years. Why would having this function on Android be any different.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] RubenRybnik:
In what world is Android an alternative for Windows? You could say Mac, Linux, Unix, hell even Chrome desktop, but Android? I don't think so. Android is an alternative to iOS, Palm, Windows -Phone-, Blackberry OS, etc... but don't compare a mobile( phone and tablet ) OS as an alternative to a Desktop OS. And yes, if you added Windowing and a couple other features to Android, then, maybe, you could make that comparison, but saying that "you'll eventually have a slow bulky java app" just by adding a Window manager is not logical. Hell, if I run 2 instances of Crysis, while watching a move, torrenting and compiling a project Windows will get slow also, it's on the owner( or limiting number of windows apps, or some other preventitive method ) to keep your system running smooth.

That being said, Android as is, is great for most people, hell just keep using it that way, but isn't Android all about options and customizability? Why not allow people another option for those who know how to manage their systems and wont go loading 10 intensive apps at the same time, what the hell would you do with that many apps open anyways on such a small screen? Guess you could video out, but the resolution wouldn't be great anyways. I'd imagine this to be a very light weight window manager, for lightweight multitasking, not for playing a tegra 3 game while listening to music and having 2 videos playing, lol.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rorytmeadows:
I get what you're saying but I have successfully replaced my Windows laptop with my Prime. Even though I don't utilize my laptop in the same ways as you do, it's still a replacement, thus alternative.

Teehee!

same here. ever since i got ipad1 over 2yrs. ago and now the prime, i hardly ever use conventional PC anymore. seriously. for what i do, i find no need for one. i try to do everythng from my tablets. which ive been doing a pretty good job at.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] RubenRybnik:
I agree, for many users a tablet( with a hardware keyboard ) is an acceptable alternative, however there are those of us out there that like to be able to display multiple things at once, say a twitter post, a facebook post, and a web article, while we type a reply or article out. But that's just one example, there are others. Anyways, this thread is just beating a dead horse at this point, I was mearly stating a feature that would be nice, not trying to start a thread about "what's best", or "who needs that", or OS Vs OS, etc...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rorytmeadows:
So in your one example, why would you need to display those all at once?

Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] RubenRybnik:
For one example, I'd like to have two text editors open for development, while having a web page open for reference, and a drop down quake style terminal for command line stuff.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Kailkti:
Iunno then... :/

Why would I need to display all those windows at once? Because I'm extremely infatuated with my alerts and news connected to Facebook and other social networking utilities, so I would love to have them all up at once so when there is news, I am notified instantly.

Either way the answer you are looking for pertains to your question on the particular example, hence wouldn't the answer be subjective? So why am I wrong?! Dx

WTH...

Haven't any of you heard of OverSkreen or Stick-it?

Costs nothing and it works FANTASTIC!

Just look for it at market/playstore.

That apple crap even if it was official it would still not beat these 2 apps.

And cornerstone is in its infant stage, when it develops more all devs will have it implemented as a standard and it ROCKS!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rorytmeadows:
So the answer is you don't. Thanks, just curious.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] warlock257:
Try OverSkreen Browser
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] gunz.jones:
In the examples given, all was subjective. Using floating apps at the moment limits to only certain tasks those apps perform at one time, while Cornerstone provides this to all apps. Windowed text editors, social apps, media and terminal just make sense to some people who have grown accustomed to it. I have a huge screen, but have to dedicate it all to one app in focus. I "want" more. Nearly every post you have on this forum is trying to get at someone's goat. No one is going to prove your opinion wrong or their's right. Do some yoga and chill. Attend a group session.

This would certainly be a very nice tweak, and i'm sure it will get here eventually. Me personally wont be using it as much i guess. I

like to have stuff full screen, even on my 27" windows PC. The moments when i actually need it are quite rare. The only thing that should be running in the background is the youtube app! Hope this gets fixed sometimes.

In the meantime try out GestureControl. It lets you switch between the last app and next app with a 4 finger swipe (similar to ipad i guess), making it even easier than using the multitask button.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] RubenRybnik:
Yea, I get that. I'm mostly full screen as well, but being able to window Evernote, Dolphin Browser( yes I know there is the other floating browser, but I'm partial to Dolphin for now ), youtube, and a few others would be a welcome treat for when I need to view more than one thing at a time.

I have GestureControl installed, it's really nice, however I get noticible delays from when I make a gesture until it's action is kicked off( about 3 - 5 seconds ). Delay doesn't happen all the time, but enough to make me shy away from it from integrating it into my work flow. Been posting on the GestureControl thread for awhile, and developer has been working hard on stuff, so hopefully that gets resolved soon. Delay has happened on all ROMs I've tried, even on my current build which is AOKP B34, V6 SuperCharged and Overclocked to 1.8ghz.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hairdewx:
There is a terminal window available at least.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] RubenRybnik:
Thanks, I know theres a Browser, Video Player, IM Client and Terminal. While these are nice, it's not so great having to have two apps for each thing you want to do and have to set these up to mimic each other.

These 'floating' apps are good and all, but if you compare the floating browser for example to something like Dolphin, Opera or Chrome it leaves you wanting for features. Not to mention having to try and sync everything on two apps like cookies, passwords, history, bookmarks etc... Don't get me wrong, it's nice to have the option, and the browser( and other floating versions of apps ) are great for the occasional light task, which maybe is enough for some( most? ) but having the native ability to window an app would be kick a$$.

Hm thats strange i never had that issue with GestureControl. For me it works pretty much instantly (Stock rom with root). Is it for all actions or just app switching?

And as i was saying it would be awesome to have 2 apps running side by side. I would use it for sure. Its just not that pressing for me :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Bec07:
Sure looks like Asus still have a lot to learn if they want to become the tablet top dog.

Starting with the unlocked bootloader which they still didn't provide and to the floating or windowed apps Samsung is miles ahead.

The new Galaxy even supports windowed videos out of the box... while here we are punished and without a warranty just because we wanted to try a custom ROM, one with Overskreen in my case.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] UndisputedGuy:
Do you think i should buy the transformer 300? With all the problems with Asus...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Bec07:
Asus is however deeply implicated and listens to our complains. The design is really my favorite because the MicroSD is directly accessible and the dock connection is simply excellent craftsmanship.

I don't have the issues others are complaining about. Personally I don't need a 10.1 GPS device and Wi-Fi is at least as good as it is on my SGS2.

The only thing that bothers me is the huge rim on the screen that all tablets have and the weight. My galaxy tab 8.9 was almost perfect weight-wise.

I don't regret buying tf tf201 although every gram above 0.5kg is a pain, that's why I didn't get the 300.

Also, if you get it and want to unlock, read around because your serial don't necessarily have to get to asus when you unlock the bootloader, if you know what I mean.

Just don't get a tegra 2 device, those are complete flukes.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] gunz.jones:
I do prefer this over the tf101. The dev community is just not what i was used to. The only reason i got upgraded was because my best buy replacement plan and they had no replacement. It's like owning a huge HTC phone ATM. When i get the dock, it will change.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
that won't work trying to trick Asus. The serial number being sent to them is not the only indicator that you're unlocked. developers and others already looked deepely into this. along with sending out your serial number, Asus puts digital flags on your device that can't be removed. so even if you send it in and it doesn't register your S/N as being unlocked, once they hook it up to their computers, the digital flags lets them know you were unlocked.

in other words, there is no getting around voiding warranty for unlock bootloader. if it were that simple, everyone would use the unknown serial fix to spoof the number. if the serial is some made up combo or an already unlocked serial, it won't work.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Bec07:
Won't work yet. A rom with asus "sync" and other bloatware removed won't fetch that kind of data for asus, and that data is simply stored somewhere on a partition we can't yet see (this was Samsung's galaxy s2's trick).

Probably changing anything on that partition will break the bootloader, but sooner or later a way around will be found.
[Android General] RubenRybnik:
I've dreamed of having this on a tablet ever since they came out. I cannot believe iOS got this before any Android implementation, Cornerstone is ok, but this beats it hands down!!!

"where's the Android love"?

You do realize that you are ecstatic about an app that makes ios act like a competing operating system don't you? Lol :D

If ios is so good, why do you want it to act like windows? :confused:
[Android General] RubenRybnik:
I love when people act like one OS is the end all and be all of all OSs. I don't want Windows, I don't want iOS, but you can't deny that they both have very good things about each of them in their own rights. What I would like is for one OS( preferably Android obviously, as I do believe it's currently the best base frame work as far as customize-ability, range of hardware support, and memory management ) and for that base OS to take the best features of other OSs and incorporate them. This happens all the time, look at Ubuntu's "Unity" interface, remind you of OSx maybe? Or Androids "app drawer" kinda looks like the default iOS desktop doesn't it? I'm just saying, why not take this one additional feature and add it, why bash something that would make Android even more versatile.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Crinkypops:
Hi.

I have just flashed Zeus 6 today all the way from stock. Everything was going great.

After this, I decided to enable lagfix by going to CWM and enabling it from there. After it booted, though, ALL MY SDCARD APPS ARE MISSING. Applications such as Superuser and Android Market. So I then disabled lagfix and it still wasn't working. I can't even use Root Explorer as I don't have Superuser.

I can see the blank icons of the applications that are missing in my apparently drawer, but when I click them, it says "Application is not installed on your phone."

SOMEONE HELP PLEASE!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Whizzpopper:
Sounds like you need to edit your vold.fstab file. Have you checked to see if the sdcard is actually mounted?

Search vold.fstab, you'll find the answer.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Crinkypops:
Where can I get the vold.fstab file from?

And what do I need to do with it? I can't seem to find anything?

Also, it was working fine when I reflashed Zeus 6. After a while, though, I rebooted my phone after installing all the apps I needed to install. After that, it went back to the problem again.

I am really getting pissed right now with my phone.

[Update] I found a vold.fstab but what do I do with it? And is it 100% sure that this problem came from the unsuccessful mounting of internal SD card? I'm really really ticked off at the moment. I'm sorry.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Truckerglenn:
If you do a search for vold.fstab you'll find what needs to be edited.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Crinkypops:
I just copied the vold.fstab to the /etc folder and the problem still persists.

Is there any other cause that would've ****ed my phone up?

Also, from my understanding, the vold/fstab fixes external SD card problems and not internal. I don't know, though.

I am really desperate at the moment.

[Edit] ****. After doing the vold.fstab replacement, my external SD card won't even get detected anymore.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jscott30:
The issue that you describe isn't related to the vold.fstab fix. You're correct that making the mmc1 edit is only necessary if you can't see your external sd after making a kernel swap.

When you go to settings / sd card and phone storage, what do you see? Is your 13.03 partition visible? What else is visible?

Edit: And yeah, if you changed the vold.fstab like the others suggested, you need to change the mmc1 in the last line back to mmc2.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Crinkypops:
Yes. When I look at my USB storage, it says 13.03 total space. I realized that whenever I clear the data and/or reflash, I lose the problem.

But as soon as I start installing stuff, that's when it gets ****ed. I reboot and *boom* all my SD card apps are all just blank icons that when clicked, gives you the error "Application is not installed on your phone"

PS Can someone give me the very default vold.fstab file? This new one ****ed my memory card up and I don't know how to change the mmc1 to mmc2 as I literally just copied and pasted the file into the /etc directory.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jscott30:
You can edit the vold.fstab file by using a program like ES File Explorer or Root Explorer. Using the program, mount the /system/etc directory as read/write. Then, use the built in text editor to change the last line. In this case, for your setup, the last line is supposed to end with mmc2.

To fix your initial problem.: Go ahead and first fix your newly created vold.fstab problem. Then, in Settings / SD card and phone storage, choose format usb storage for the 13.03 gb partition. Let it format, and then go to Settings / Privacy / Factory data reset. Choose "Reset phone".

You'll have to reinstall your apps. Let us know if things are back to normal after doing this. If this doesn't get it, I have another step for you to try.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Crinkypops:
I have fixed the external SD Card issue. Thanks so much!

I just did the Data reset and currently reinstalling apps and report what happens.

I will keep you posted :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Crinkypops:
Okay so I just reinstalled everything and rebooted and it was all perfect.

This happened to me a while ago while I rebooted like twice and then the problem came back.

I will post here ASAP if it comes back again, but so far it's looking good.

In any case, I am just really curious (if your method actually worked). What would have been wrong before that caused the problems? Also, I did wipes in CWM before and the problem was gone as well, but when I installed apps and rebooted, the problem went back again. So what is the difference between restoring from Settings>Privacy as opposed to the Data wipe on CWM?

I love you, man. *no homo*
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jscott30:
Now, hold the bus. If you see and can use your apps, then it worked. What do you mean, "if your method actually worked"? ;)

Also, I hope that after you reboot, that you are giving your phone time to scan the sd cards. Within the first few minutes after the phone boots, apps on the sd card won't be available.

There is no telling, man. No telling at all. Something was screwed up, though, most likely by something you did on your phone.

Factory reset just wipes user data / installed programs and puts you back to default. Did you also format the 13.03 gb partition like I recommended?

Try to steer clear of any mods for a few days, until you're sure that it's fixed. And stay away from those porn sites.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Crinkypops:
I have done everything you have said on the dot. :) It's working fine at the moment and I've been trying to reboot every once in a while to see if it is set.

Also, the problem started when I tried to enable Voodoo lagfix and that was when it started acting up. Next time I restored, it was when I tried using Voltage Control. I really don't know what the problem was. It is a ***** for sure, though.

I also made /mnt/sdcard/Applications and /mnt/sdcard/Android/Applications. I don't know if these would've made an effect, but it's working fine at the moment.

Lastly, I knew Jizzhut was ****ed ;););)
