1. There is already a hack for moving the menu button to the multi task button. I'm sure more will follow.

2. As in do we have it? No. At least no app for it to work anyways.

3. Should be able to now as we have root and a recovery. :) I haven't tried yet though.

4. Seems to be mass storage. In fact I see both internal and external memory even on Ubuntu with no issues.

5. No idea. Haven't tried it yet.

FM Radio was replaced by TuneIn Radio...appears to be streaming radio. It's located in the default music app. Haven't messed with it.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] blazingwolf:
I have the pro version of the app. It works well but is not an FM radio though it does provide the connection to them but uses data so unless you have unlimited it kind of kills the idea in my mind. I never used FM though so I won't miss it.

I've been running the redemption rom on my og inc for a while. I think my fav feature other than everything running smoother and longer batt life, is the 5 column app drawer. That is a feature I dont find in alot of roms
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] *Madmoose*:
I fully agree, I love the 5 column app drawers, although with the screen on the Inc 4G being this narrow, it could get congested pretty fast. I know alternative launchers give it to you as well, but I like my sense. (Sense Whore)

[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] fp99:
I went with the Samsung S3 due to saving my unlimited data. Just got the S3 today, haven't gotten a chance to mess with it yet. But so far I am liking it. I was really hoping for VZ to release the Inc 4G before the 28th. Also, after reading the specs for the 4G, they definitely could have done better.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] andybones:
I'm very happy with my inc4g..

paid under $60 total.

and still have a perfect condition inc2 to sell or keep.

I understand that the Rezound is 1.5 and inc4 1.2ghz so seems not as fast, but owning both devices, the inc4g is just better in everyway (S-OFF would be nice though)

for me, the slimness of the inc4g compared to the brick of a Rezound and the 4' screen is well woth the loss of .3ghz.

+ I'll take the new processor, runs great, batt doesnt overheat like rez, and batt life is DEF better.

I get lucky, my lil bro doesn't care much about phones like myself, so I just give him my old phones and am able to upgrade usually every year.

so this phone will make me very happy until my next upgrade come Christmas ;)

as for the unlimited data, it really depends on you, or your family plan

for my family, 4 lines, we actually ended up saving over $70 a month! with this new policy.

we have 4 smart phones and average 2 GB a month TOTAL! lol

so we opted and got 8GB shared plan, more than enough as the other 3 lines dont do any heavy data usage and I could easily use 7GB each month.

sure I lost my "unlimited" but I don't ever need unlimited so, for ME, and my family, we are saving a nice amount. Very happy.

also no more worrying about txt/calls, as those are now unlimted, so kids can txt all they want lol

Newer S4 processor kills older S3 despite the lower clock speed. Ghz isn't the whole story.

Ya the ghz race was over years ago, it's all about efficiency now. How much work can you do per clock cycle.

I ordered a DInc 4G from LetsTalk.com today! The listed price was $49.99 for then they gave me a free screen protector (which I won't use) and free case (which I won't use) which entitled me to a discount and brought the price down to $34.97!

I've not purchased a phone from an online seller before - I hope all goes smoothly.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] *Madmoose*:
I've never ordered from an online retailer either. From what I've read though you shouldn't have any issues. You made a wise decision on this phone though.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] nitsuj17:
i got mine from letstalk, everything was all good :highfive:
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] :
Sweet deal, I might have to do that too. How is it, any better than the inc 2?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] nitsuj17:
Its a definite step up from the inc2 (which isnt to say the inc2 isnt a great phone, just aging)

the form factor is not as wide, but taller....and the change in dpi/resolution takes a bit getting used to (if not used to a qHD or HD phone)...but looking at my inc2 wvga screen now it seems almost cartoonish :o and oversized

the screen itself is very good...im not gonna claim its the greatest thing ever, but colors are sharp and its pretty bright, even in the sun outdoors

battery life is tough to compare right now for 2 reasons: my inc2 hasnt run stock since late winter and i havent tried running a full day off charger yet....but by all indications its at least "good" but could be very good..well see

camera is not a disappointment by any means (though i guess it is compared to one x) and a big step up from the inc2

radios are VERY VERY good in my experience....everywhere I should have LTE I do and w/ awesome speeds....and even in areas my wifes bolt would fall to 3g or 1x mine stays in lte....calls are crisp and sharp both on my end and caller hearing me

stock software is fantastic (if you like sense4...if not, well not so much lol) its really smooth and responsive, and its nice to use a *native* sense4 device that doesnt have the quirks of rom ports :good:

root and recovery is not up to par with inc2, simply because we only have htcdev unlock and not s-off (though its possible we could given the evo lte getting it) and we only have 1 (albeit good) available recovery (twrp)...and if you are used to 4ext, you miss it quickly.....flashing roms/mods is fine, you just need to fastboot the kernel

hope this helps ya a bit
[Motorola Droid 3] blackomegax:
So, as far as i can tell, on an HD dock, the device is outputting a native 1080p signal.

But the highest *resolvable* res is the native 540p of the device.

Is there any way to hack the framebuffer to be 1080p (possibly using a tablet version of ADW or other such launchers?), strictly during HDMI mirroring?

End goal: running 1080p ubuntu while docked + HD netflix and HD photo viewing.
[Motorola Droid 3] spunker88:
My TV reports a 1920x1080 input resolution but for anything mirrored, it is just 960x540 being upconverted by the phone. Apps like picture and camera video players and youtube appear to be higher res since they can display the media only on the HDMI connected screen and on the phone black space will show.

If someone can figure out a way to get the phone to disable mirroring the displays and instead only use the HDMI connected display then you may be able to get it to output something in native 1080p without upconversion.
[Motorola Droid 3] Atrixn00b:
I don't know if this answers your question but i find turning my phone sideways puts the phone in full screen. youtube sucks though it looks like its all pixely

Don't know if anyone knows about this but it's fantastic, I can print from my Xoom straight to my printer via desktop pc

This is very flexible, the app is called cloud print and you need google chrome, I can now print my reports written on ThinkFree from Chrome,

fantastic!!
[Xoom General] d3athsd00r:
It works natively with any HP network printer (I have one) and you can also print straight from Google docs (drive). Really nice to have, but I haven't had a need for it yet.
[Xoom General] sbrownla:
Since my MacBook went to sh*t I have been limited to my Xoom for doing everything and let me say that Cloud Print has saved my life.

I got a great new job, went through the whole process from cover letter and resume to interview and everything just using the Xoom, Google Docs and Cloud Print.

It works VERY well!
[Xoom General] slapheady:
Is it this one? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pauloslf.cloudprint

(Just that it's not "owned" by Google, so I don't want to give that much permission to an app from a random).

Cheers.
[Xoom General] sbrownla:
It is built into Google Docs. Choose the web view of your document to get to the print option. Make sure you have set your printer up.

You don't need an app. This is not Apple. :D

here it is

since we have no forum yet (um come on mods get to it!) I can't post a shiny new thready for my very first real dev, ROOT FOR YOUR GALAXY TAB 2 7.0!!

so I'll put it in this post, and I'll mention I posted this on rootzwiki first, we have our very own forum there... (XDA I love ya, and I know you will get there hehe)

** Edit ***

I just attached the files as well as mediafire, rename the txt file to pit (xda won't accept the file as is..

_________________

Method

I have gained root through using a modified boot.img from the gt-p3110 leak posted a few weeks ago, took me all day but here it is.

Note I haven't only tested this on my device, its 2am est and all my testers are asleep (that being termitech lol)..

Standard YMMV

So big fat warning, I MAKE NO GUARANTEES THIS WILL NOT BRICK YOUR TAB, USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!

Now with that unpleasantness out of the way.. with out further ado. I present the very first root for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0!! Yay mom I'm a dev now!

The method will have you using hemidall/heimdall-frontend there is a way to put this all into an odin package but I'm too exhausted to do so (for now).. Also I will not re-hash how to install or use heimdall.. you can look that up on your own

Get it here:

http://www.glassechidna.com.au/products/heimdall/

Process

Once that is installed do the following:

reboot tablet into download mode

adb reboot download

launch heimdall-frontend

go to flash tab

load attached pit file (gt-p3110.pit)

Then from partion details choose "KERNEL", click "Add"

then choose "Browse" and select the attached boot-bjr.img

choose "Start"

after the tablet reboots:

adb shell
./su
./gtab2-root.sh

Congratulations you are now rooted!

I'm going to try and stay up a bit longer and monitor this (and the xda thread) please let me know immediately of success or failure, I will pull the files if failure.. Issues with heimdall aside, I want reports back on if things work.. They work for me.. and I tested a fresh factory img just a few minutes ago.. pretty sure we are good!

Flash xoomdev's CWM recovery First, then flash the package in this post.

Xoomdev's thread

Paste of his instructions:

Download the recovery.tar.md5

Make sure Kies is closed

Reboot into Download mode (adb reboot download)

Open Odin, confirm connection

Click PDA

Load recovery.tar.md5 file

Click Start

Device will reboot when the flash is complete

To reboot into recovery, just like any other device; adb reboot recovery

Link to the CWM Package

Link to root package

Congratulations you are now rooted!
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] ejpyle:
Thank for making this possible!

I followed these directions exact. But, I am getting the following error - E:signature verification failed - when updating 'cmw-root-gtab2.zip'

I did run that Samsung update on the device last week when it was first powered on @ BB - could this have any issues with the root process?
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] nycbjr:
are you sure you have clockwork mod for recovery?

you would only see this error with stock recovery
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] derek1387:
I have tried doing it this way 5x now, and when I try to use Odin, it loads the recovery.tar.md5 file, I click start, then I get what i linked below

I dont know what I am doing wrong. I am in the download mode

<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..

<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..

<OSM> Please wait..

<OSM> recovery.tar.md5 is valid.

<OSM> Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully..

That is what I get since you cant see the picture very well.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] nycbjr:
Try to redownload the file, also try hiemdall instead.. and check out the thread on rootzwiki until more gets posted here, the issue is with flashing cwm, not the root.

Also did you reboot after flashing and try to access recovery mode?
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] derek1387:
My tab doesnt reboot after the flash, its like it never even happened.

I tried the heimdall way, but the img file cant be found anywhere at the moment.

I am new to the android world, so bear with me. I followed the exact steps for this one that you posted, and my tablet acts like nothing even happened.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] bark777:
Pretty sure you need to follow the thread over on rootzwiki called "Stopping recovery overwrite" in the Galaxy Tab 2 (7") Development forum. After that use ODIN to flash CWM. You need to do this if the upgrade was applied to your stock tab (UEALD3 / SEP-66 #1).
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] termleech:
If you follow the instructions it will work. If you get a signature error, you are NOT on CWM. Look at the top of the screen, if do you not see Clockwork Mod you are not using CWM you are using 3e recovery which is the stock. Start over and flash CWM.

Once you have CWM flash the root package. You should then be all set. I've done it a dozen times now and it worked every time.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] montormabur:
is this method for p3113 or p3100?
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] derek1387:

[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] mdubs:
I think I royally F***ED my tab up...

I'm stuck at the boot splash screen with "ABORT IN SBL" in the upper left corner.

I can't get it to boot to recovery. I can only get it to boot into the download mode now.

Is there any way to flash this back to stock using heimdall on ubuntu?

Please dear god tell me there is a way to fix this.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] derek1387:
I think I am just going to give up on trying to root this thing till an easier solution comes out.... I cant get this thing to recover back to the stock shipped software.

I am a newb... i know. Lol
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] dsb9938:
There will likely never be any other solution. You will always have to flash recovery in Heim or Odin. After that you can flash a rooted ROM. But there will always be that initial work.

I will see if I can find a stock firmware package, but it will be the same type of flashing.

[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] nycbjr:

[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] dsb9938:
You have a factory made one? Not a pulled one?

You cannot flash a pulled one, something people new to Samsung may not know.

I odined the recovery and now I have CWM. But when I try to flash the Root file (through install zip from sdcard) it says:

What should I do?

[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Nicene Nerd:
Just delete the following files:

I'm having issues getting the recovery to stay. It's keeps reverting back to stock. I know that you have to flash an unsecure boot image, but the other thread says you have to have CWM..but that's like a cyclical problem, lol.

I have done this on two different tablets now and both of them now have SOD issues every time I turn the screen off. I have tried flashing recovery to flash a stock rom, but in odin it gets stuck at the "Setupconnection..." and never goes past that part. What am I doing wrong? Any help is appreciated.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] cbetso:
I rooted mines using unlockr site. But I did had to download Kies for the Drivers and you do need a memory card.

I. Before You Begin:

1. Rooting your Galaxy Tab will void its warranty and it can only be gained back by either applying stock firmware or unrooting your tablet.

II. Downloading Required Files:

1. Download ClockworkMod Recovery Image from here.

2. Download the Rooting Package from here.

3. Download the Odin tool from here.

III. Installing CWM Recovery on Galaxy Tab 2 7.0

1. First of all, close Kies software on your PC.

2. Reboot your Galaxy Tab 2 into the download mode. You can do so by pressing and holding both Volume DOWN and Power keys together.

3. Press the Volume UP key to enter into the download mode.

4. Launch the Odin Tool on your PC by double-clicking on Odin3 v1.85.exe file.

5. Connect your tablet to your PC using the USB cable.

6. From the Odin Tool, choose PDA and then select the recovery.tar.md5 file you downloaded earlier. You will have following screen:

[ Select "PDA" option ]

7. Click on the Start button to begin flashing recovery. Your tablet will reboot when the flashing is done.

8. Disconnect your tablet from the PC.

We completed installing CWM recovery on the tablet, now move on to the rooting procedure.

IV. Rooting your Galaxy Tab 2 7-inch:

1. Turn OFF your tablet.

2. Boot your tablet into the recovery mode by pressing and holding both the Volume UP and Power keys simultaneously.

3. Choose install zip from sdcard option and then navigate to the rooting package you downloaded earlier. It will begin rooting your tablet, let it do it.

4. When the rooting is done, choose Reboot system now from the recovery menu.

Everything’s done now. You have successfully rooted your tablet as well as installed CWM recovery on it. This simple root method was brought to us by a RootzWiki user nycbjr, you should thank/donate him over at rootzwiki for his great work!
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] abarax:
I know this is the wrong forum and the 10.1 model was just released a couple of days ago, but I wonder if this or a similar method would root the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 as the 7 and the 10.1 share the same hardware and OS from Samsung across the board, aside from the screen size.

Hmm. I wonder. Or not, as I don't want to brick my new 10.1, and I've already rooted my 7.

[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Juvenall:
After doing this on two different devices today, both of them had massive performance problems (nearly unusable lag, super slow unlocks, etc) and a few black screens of death. So I likely screwed something up. After some tinkering, the fix for both devices involved doing a kernel flash in Heimdall with a stock version rom's boot.img file. Now I have root and a devices that's totally usable again.

I'll toss up some detailed directions if anyone needs, but here are the files I used for this:

1) Heimdall

2) gt-p3110.pit

3) IML74K-P3113UEALD3-stock.zip (Extract this, use the boot.img file for the partition file under the Flash tab)
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] tonysohn:
Thanks a bunch for the info. I also had that unusable lag problem with the heimdall method, and it seems that you found the solution! In my case, I restored everything to stock using the file in your 3), and then used ODIN on a PC. Good to know that I can use my mac/linux next time I have to root my device for some reason.
