Boot animation.zip requires a kernel that supports boot animation zip .

SGS2 forum had a load of working boot animation zips .

QMG files requires a very expensive editor to open . Though someone has done it as i have boot animation qmg non stock files for SGS2 that wont work on SGS3 as they are not large enough .

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Lennyuk:
Actually I think this can be done outside of the kernel, but you still need to hack a file.

I am looking to add this to VillainRom as soon as I have a chance to sit and look a the necessary files.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] sabreful:
that would be wonderful! unfortunately I'm running the t999, any possibility you will port VillainRom for the US devices?

Also, any ideas as to why "bootanimation.zip" is included in stock roms for galaxy s devices if they don't use them?

Google...basically gently rose up from the Shadows. Flexed it's muscles. And instantly KO'd every company making ****ty small tablets.

In one move. One fell swoop.

Speak softly and carrying a big stick. Well Played Google.

While I know we are a bit upset over the sd slot, and hdmi. You've got to admit, this makes pretty much any other 200 tablet a piece of garbage now.

Thoughts?

Lawyers everywhere are celebrating the arrival of the Nexus 7.

Google represents deep pockets, and every two-bit company with ripped-off patents will be looking to cash in.
[Nexus 7 General] Cel1084:
Nah, they just like to set the price and standards on each subsequent generation of android devices. Asus was going to release it regardless, Google just changed the standard of such devices taking out what we would call standard features that most people won't need and lowing the price on said standard while keeping the same performance.
[Nexus 7 General] JGoldz75:
gotta give google some credit... they have the technology and know how to use it
[Nexus 7 General] Jayrod1980:
While I was hoping it would have the original features of the memo pad as revealed as ces I'm thrilled by this tablet. I think having its software come directly from Google and carrying the nexus moniker more than makes up for the hardware changes.

This tablet was an excellent move by Google because not only is it great hardware wise, but the 7 inch market is where they can build a foothold on the tablet market.

I'm happy it is priced so competitively but to scoff at other companies giving less for more money bothers me. Google isn't making profit off this tablet. They hope to raise revenue from play store purchases, etc, but other companies that produce these need to make money off what they build. I don't begrudge them for that. In the end it would be nice for other stockish android tablet makers to either commit to keeping devices on the latest OS, or release source for drivers, etc when they discontinue support for them so that unofficial builds could continue.
[Nexus 7 General] Po1soNNN:
Let's just hope other oems will follow this standard of pure android and follow the supposed 5 nexus devices this fall. I love my phone but I love pure Google also

They bought the rights to sell the ASUS ME370T rebranded as the nexus 7 with features removed.

They didn't KO ASUS.

That being said, I'm praying to Moore that their 10" nexus 10 is a rebranded infinity pad from ASUS.
[Nexus 7 General] demandarin:
no way at the rumored $300 price point. plus infinity is already released. no way you will get true HD 1080P nexus tablet with most powerful tegra3 variant(highest clocked, higher voltage, higher clocked gpu, bandwidth on controller increased) for that cheap. we can dream though..lol.

I see a nexus 10 model being closer to transformer 300 minus some features to lower price point. nexus 7 already uses exact same tegra3 chipset as in transformer 300, which is the T30L variant. So Asus/Google could build a Nexus based on that design. minus some features. corners have to be cut to make the cheaper price point.
[Nexus 7 General] thebobp:
Yeah, google's only real contribution here was the hype (not insignifigant). And it's price for meddling was removal of features (like sd card) Asus was probably willing to include.

To be honest, I'm not sure it was worth it. And we can never really know, short of travelling to that alternate reality where Asus did release that $250 memo.

[Nexus 7 General] MWBehr:
More realistic for it to have been $350 and have ICS instead of Jelly Bean.
[Nexus 7 General] Cel1084:
I'm pretty sure his 250 quote came directly from Asus back when they announced they where releasing it.
[Nexus 7 General] acegolfer:
I think N7 is the best move that Google could make with Android tablets. With N7, Google can

1. increase the market share, which is lagging iPad.

2. preempt the 7" iPad mini

3. kill cheap android tablets

4. set a standard to avoid fragmentation

5. diminish perception of android tablet = kindle fire

6. stepping stone for play store's long term success

anything I missed?
[Nexus 7 General] NikonUser:
It might also bring down the price of some of the higher end tablets (are people really willing to pay an extra $xxx just to get feature xxx?)
[Nexus 7 General] Jayrod1980:
Please don't think I'm defending lower hardware specs, but the truth is that Nexus devices are great for their SOFTWARE. Other than the Nexus One, these devices have been great, with good hardware but typically not bleeding edge. They contain enough to do what Google sets out to do. I used to be mad about this but now I'm quite happy. There's more to having a great device than the absolute edge of technology. When I got the Nexus S it was the best Gingerbread phone until Google release the next phone... the Galaxy Nexus. I have the GSM Galaxy Nexus now (ordered int'l in Jan) and though it wasn't the end all of hardware when it came out on paper... it is STILL the best ICS device as well. Now on JB, it simply flies. Why is this?

Simply, the way software and hardware are integrated, it's at Apple levels, dare I say. If you look at superior hardware phones like the One X and SGS III, there are hiccups and hangups or other things created by their custom UI's, etc. Plus, the software is written by Google for the Nexus devices to run well.

I'm not saying the galaxy nexus or other nexus device will have the highest benchmarks or play Temple Run the best, but they tend to function as a whole better than their brethren.

The Nexus 7 seems to be the same way. Jellybean is amazing. As Morfic stated, it makes ICS seem like Vista to Jellybean's Windows 7. It may be basically the same kernel, but it does everything it's predecessor does, better and more. Since they hired Mathias Duarte, I believe Android has not just the most functional OS of mobiles, but also the most cohesive and sharpest looking. All of this is my opinion of course, but I remember when GB came out and compared my Nexus S to the iPhone 4 and thought it still LOOKED a little rough. Now, in addition to it doing more, it looks and feels better as well.

My hope is that the Nexus 7 and Google's focus on this device will bring better Tablet UI apps and allows them to take market share from Apple the way they have done the past few years with their phones.
[Nexus 7 General] bleclair:
I think they killed all competition in the 7" Android market entirely I'm guessing, and maybe will do the same to the bigger Android tablets if the rumored 10" is released.

Unfortunately, I think this will cause other companies to not build 7" tablets with better specs since most people aren't going to pay much more to have them.. (Like video out, micro sd, haptic feedback, etc.)

The Toshiba Excite 7.7 16gb @ $500? Dead, dead, dead. Only big difference is microsd and AMOLED. And timely updates from Toshiba? Not likely.

Galaxy Tab 7.7? Hard to say. Only the Verizon model is available directly in the US, so maybe it will hang on since it has cell radio, MHL, haptic feedback, microsd, AMOLED, etc. But then again it's over DOUBLE the price. (Disclaimer: I love mine. Verizon, where is my ICS update????)
[Nexus 7 General] TonyHoyle:
There are 10" tablets out there for about the same price as the N7, running ICS, with SD cards etc. And they'll sell about 3 of them - because 'joe public' doesn't buy noname chinese hardware that's (in their mind) 'too cheap'.

A google tablet, on the store shelves next to everything else, with google's name on it - they'll buy that. Then you start to shift a few. Then other manufacturers can start to shift a few, too, because suddenly people have friends with an android tablet and they want one too. 'Not an ipad' ceases to be the death blow that it is currently.
[Nexus 7 General] suchavibrantthang:
a slap in apples face for their overpriced ipad and marketing condescending commercials :good:
[Nexus 7 General] kattara:
But these cheap tablets... The usually have no support, and no software updates, etc. That's also a huge reason ppl don't go buy them.
[Nexus 7 General] saadi703:
I agree with you on some of the points but One x and SGSIII are not hick ups. One x might had some problems earlier but SGSIII never had any problem and it is the best ICS phone not Galaxy Nexus. I sold my Galaxy Nexus 2 weeks back and this was the first phone which does not make me feel wow about anything at all. It was doing everything at acceptable level but best at nothing. I agree that at $350 price tag it is a nice phone but I bought this phone only because I was short of money. Google did well with Nexus one, Nexus S and they were indeed best phones but Galaxy Nexus was just okay sort of phone even when it was released last year. I think the new Nexus would be much better which hopefully would be released later this year.

On the other hand what you have said about Nexus 7 on the other hand is true. Even though I have iPad 3 64GB with 4G but I understand what google is trying to do with Nexus 7 and I love what they did. I was looking for a good 7 inch tablet and there was nothing good in the market in 7 inch beside toshiba 7.7 but it was too pricey. Who is going to pay more than 500 for a 7.7 inch android tablet? Google on the other hand done very well by introducing Nexus 7 only for 200 and nothing can beat it at this price point or even nothing with 300 more price tag can beat it. It is even better than Asus Pad TF300 which cost way more than Nexus 7. The 7 inch form factor is also great and google made a very good choice.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stkiswr:
I recently picked up a nexus (Verizon) and love the phone. Have been around android and rooting hacking modding for many years. Of course I immediately unlocked and went straight to jelly bean. The issue I am having is maintaining a good 4g connection. I'm blanketed in it. My Maxx never dropped 4g so I know signal isn't an issue in my area. When it comes in its very strong 20+ mb DL speeds...but it might last anywhere from 2-5 mins. I reinstalled 404 radios. No fix. Wiped and reinstalled my ROM and it did great for an afternoon and then started turding up again.

So now I have wiped again and am trying another ROM out. So far it seems OK but I haven't fully been using 4g as I was off today and home w my WiFi. Tomorrow will be the test.

So, saying it does start dropping out again, is there a pretty solid fix? I have thought about making a full backup on my PC. Then completely wiping and reinstalling the original 401 image and OTA up in hopes of it correcting.

3g never drops data. Only 4g. Seems like there has to be a good fix other than just swap it for a refurb. Any ideas would be appreciated.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] LxMxFxD:
I ordered it mostly just because jellybean looks so awesome i had to have it. But now that the benchmarks have been released along with the full specs, im actually now somewhat convinced it is inferior to my ics running n7000, or at the least equal. I ran the gl 2.1 benchmark that anandtech ran and my stock (not overclocked ) note actually scored higher in all 4 benchmarks than the "12 core" tegra 3. So besides battery life and jellybean, im pretty meh at this point. Anyone else have similar feelings? Or am i really missing something?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] CGI_Ram:
For the price point; the Nexus 7 is a nice investment. The specs are solid. If you have disposable income it's hard not to throw $200 at the 7 and at the very least make it a part of your coffee table.

I'm in the boat that I will upgrade my Note to the Note 2 as no doubt the spec leap will be much bigger than the Nexus 7.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Arrancamos:
Dude the price is low for that 7"

So it worth it x2 each dollar, if you r looking an upgrade just wait the note 2 or other device :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] DarkShot666:
I'm with you in debating on it OP.

I've yet to put an order in as the Note 2 looks rather promising, however watching media on the 7" display would be lovely, and Tegra 3 aught to have enough power to handle S/W decoding of 10bit 720p, but I've also read that the S3 seems to handle it fine, and if the Note 2 will be a 'larger S3' then I might as well save the money and wait.

It's a tough decision, since it's realistically the best 7" tablet to come out yet.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sway40:
Haha benchmarks, it'll handle whatever you throw at it and with custom roms on it will be even better...stop worrying about benchmarks they really don't mean **** on phones and tablets.

What is the point of buying it if you are basing that decision on purely benchmarks and OS version?

Are you actually going to make use of the extra screen space compared to the note?

If yes buy it, if not dont, simple
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sketch-UK:
The Nexus 7" looks amazing for the price. The only downside is the lack of SD card slot.

I'm not sure if they left it out for cost reasons or to avoid annoying the other manufacturers.

I won't personally be getting one as I'm holding off buying a tablet until Win 8. You just know someone will bring out a device that dual boots in to win8 and android.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] The Lum:
About a month ago I bought a Galaxy Tab 2 (7") for my Fiance as she wanted something like a kindle but that did a bit more. 16 Gb was £200 if the Nexus Tab has been out for £150 with better spec and newer OS I would have thought that was a great buy if you want a 7" tab.

I dont get this comparing tabs and phones. Its like comparing apples and oranges. Both fruits but not the same thing.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] LxMxFxD:
Except that the galaxy note is a phablet, a hybrid device. Thus the issue here.

To the person who said I only used benchmarks, not exactly. I was just saying that the 1.4ghz dualcore exynos with mali400 seems to still be a top dog and even beats/equals the "12core" tegra 3. Pretty impressive.

I do know the nexus 7 is a great device for $200. It doesn't have everything a galaxy note has like mhl, 5ghz wifi or sdslot but in terms of raw performance, screen resolution the $249 version is equal to my 16gb GT-N7000. No doubt it is an impressive device for the price. I found a deal on mine at Jr.com for $222 shipped 16GB version but that pre-order quickly sold out.

Even still I hesitate. It will probably only be a couple of months before the devs make a good port of jellybean for our note. Having a pure google device however does appeal to me. I'm still torn. Luckily it wont ship for another 10 days so I have all that time to decide.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Brad387:
That is the Galaxy Nexus phone, not the Nexus 7 tablet. Personally, the Galaxy Note eliminates the need of a tablet for me.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Akiainavas:
It's 7 inches. Not even 2 full inches of difference between the Note and Nexus. And you can put the Note in your pocket and take it everywhere with you. And since Nexus 7 does not use full tablet UI - it's basically "a bigger note" ( exaggeration for purpose of the thread ).

It all depends on your needs though. I really prefer to have just 1 device that i can carry everywhere, always. Tablets, even 7" are not that mobile despite all the marketing.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] The Lum:
If its any help i currently take my note with me everywherr daily. I use my Galaxy Tab 10.1 for browsing, gaming and watching movies (in bed). I use the Galaxy Tab 2 for reading and general messing about.

I admit 1 person doesnt need all 3 in their life but I do prefer web browsing at home on either of the tabs as I find it better with the bigger screens and the same for reading and movie watching whilst at home.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sway40:
There won't be any tablet ui in jellybean, it's gonna be universal like the galaxy nexus looks. Jellybean fully merges the tablet and phone ui together 100%. Any tablet that will support jellybean will look like the nexus 7 ui, no more tablet look.
