I recently got an S3 and it came with the VRLG1 update already installed. I rooted my phone and then decided to go back to stock and flashed the VRLF2 stock image because it was the only one I could find. My question is does anyone have or know where to get the VRLG1 update from instead of waiting for the OTA.

It look like I have found a way to make your Nexus 7 in landscape mode on the Home Screen. All you have to do is install the IMDb app

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.imdb.mobile&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDMsImNvbS5pbWRiLm1vYmlsZSJd

Play the Paranormal Activity 4 trailer (Possibly any trailer) and then hit the home button and you will be in landscape mode on your Home Screen! But when you turn it off it will go back to Portrait.
[Nexus 7 General] godashram:
If I hold my n7 in landscape and plug in a USB drive, it flips to landscape when stickmount kicks in. Granted the second I do anything it flips back.
[Nexus 7 General] Jbluna:
Or you could just download ultimate rotation control in the play store
[Nexus 7 General] simms22:
or, if you have root, you can just add this one line to the bottom of your build.prop file and reboot..

launcher.force_enable_rotation=true
[Nexus 7 General] saadi703:
I don't know why people are asking about screen rotation on home screen. This tablet was designed to use in portrait mode mostly and this is how it would be best utilitized. Anyways, this is personal choice but try to use to the tablet in portrait mode and you would soon start to appreciate what Google was trying to do here with the interface.
[Nexus 7 General] kennyfool:
Any one else find it kinda awkward to hold in landscape? I got my nexus 4 days ago and I find my self holding it in portrait more often... Idk I even did the whole "tablet mode" thing.
[Nexus 7 General] hamdir:
make a local.prop file instead in the data folder, works without root

---------- Post added at 04:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:23 PM ----------

still give the people the choice and stop trying to be like apple ;)
[Nexus 7 General] shinji257:
Nova launcher supports rotation without any hacks on jellybean.
[Nexus 7 General] evonc:
The new apex launcher beta based on JB also supports homescreen rotation.
[Nexus 7 General] gavinfabl:
Or use a free app called "set rotation" works a treat.
[Nexus 7 General] saadi703:
For 7 inch the interface selected by Google is way better than tablet interface. Tablet interface is good for 10 inch tabs. I have used the tablet ui in glazed ROM but I turned it off immediately. Anyways its up to every person to decided what is best for him
[Nexus 7 General] HKSpeed:
does rotating the home screen to landscape give added functionality? I have the trial version Ultimate Rotation, but I don't see a huge advantage of a landscape home screen. i see all the info on forcing landscape, so it makes me think my experience will greatly improve with a landscape home screen. is this purely a matter of personal preference or am I missing out on something by keeping it portrait?
[Nexus 7 General] cokeblack:
This.
[Nexus 7 General] Znupi:
Could you please expand on that? What data folder? /data is ro and /storage/sdcard0/Android/data doesn't seem to be picked up (wasn't expecting it to be, either). And AFAIK I can't remount rw without having root? Thanks.
[Nexus 7 General] hello_world.c:
Yes the N7 is easier/better used in portrait mode. But I just like it when I come out of an app that's used in landscape mode it doesn't force me to rotate the device immediately but I can stay in that mode.
[Nexus 7 General] FallN:
Bingo! Its about choice and "fluidity".

Being locked into portrait mode like this (on the Home screen, settings, etc.) makes for a really disjointed user experience.

Screen rotation shouldn't be something people not only have to think about but then physically have to keep juggling!
[Nexus 7 General] Odinbear:
Its About Choice

Agree with both comments above.. :cool:

Also try downloading a movie and then watching it. It will only play in portrait mode. however if you could rotate the screen the film would be full screen, No brainer really..

As a work around download "Mx Player" ( mentioned in another thread). and it Rotates the screen.. :D

Its all about choice and messing with the Apple fan boys, lol..
[Nexus 7 General] Nippero:
Being locked into portrait mode is rediculously annoying when flipping in and out of apps that run in landscape mode (games and movies for example).

Before I bought the N7, I figured I would be fine with portrait mode only. But after just a few hours of using it, I was searching all over XDA and decided on getting Nova launcher.

Now if only the lock screen would rotate too... Its annoying to have the tablet propped up on a stand in landscape orientation, and have to wake it up with pin (or even worse, with face unlock lol) in portrait mode.
[Nexus 7 General] Skillz1318:
This thread got my thinking so I downloaded ultimate rotation control and its works great. Also rotates lock screen landscape if you want. Free 7 day trial so worth a look.

don't know if I put the file into some wrong folder - but it didn't work for me when puttin the file into /system Whereas the edited build.prop works as a charme.
[Nexus 7 General] jtrosky:
It does work, you need to put the file in /data - so /data/local.prop - in the end, the result is the same - just a little safer using local.prop since you don't need to mess with build.prop, which can cause issues if edited incorrectly...
[Nexus 7 General] vauxhallastra:
Landscape has much more advantages. Portrait sucks and not natural with my thumbs. In landscape mode my thumbs cover more of the screen.
[Nexus 7 General] welberger:
Thanks a lot - that did the trick and made me happy :D

Nova Launcher

I use nova launcher for this..

I hate the Dock bar.. It looks so wrong on a tablet.. especially if you do use the home screens in landscape mode where it will turn the dock on its side.. Bad idea google....

Anyway nova has settings to turn rotation on and TURN OFF The dock

I to find myself using this tablet out of landscape mode for the most part . other then a few apps ...

[Nexus 7 General] 463nt_0ran63:
Won't work without root.

Or which data folder do you mean?
[Nexus 7 General] p1nky:
When using the build.prop method, there is some space unused in the homescreen where you cant place apps or widgets. I think this could be changed with some more modification of the build.prop. Any one has noticed that or fixed it yet? Or is this just in combination with original tablet ui fix

for anyone interested in replacing the "voice dial" with google now voice search follow these instructions:

1.)Go into S-voice settings and uncheck the option "Launch S-Voice"

2.)Download a free app from the market called "home2 shortcut" (or link here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.eikatou0.appspot.home2shortcut)

3.)Set the double tap home option (Home> Home) to launch "Voice Search" from installed applications. (make sure it displays a blue microphone when you do this)

4.)Continue with the instructions for the app and close the app.

5.)Test it out, if it doesn't launch directly into the voice search after doing the double home then follow the next few steps, if it does then skip to step 8.

6.)Open the Google Now app (it will be listed as "Google" in your app drawer)

7.)Press menu>refresh.

8.)Reboot

9.)Enjoy having Google Now on your Ice cream sandwich Samsung Galaxy S3!
[Asus Transformer TF700] jjflemin:
I was wondering if someone could post a video of a stylus being used on the TF700 for drawing and writing. I couldn't find any good videos and would love a demonstration and possibly comparison to the TF201.

I am planning on buying a new tablet as my TF201 had many problems in addition to the terrible digitizer and I want to use it for notes in college. Currently deciding between TF700 and Galaxy Note 10.1 once some reviews come out. Only problem is I would like decent handwriting and a keyboard so this is a big player in my decision.

Any help is appreciated!
[Asus Transformer TF700] FrontRowJoe:
Can't compare it to the TF201 since I've never used it, but here's a very brief demo I threw together:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsqcDM02lKU

My general experience is that how well a device draws is as much a function of the stylus as the device itself. I'm using this:

http://www.amazon.com/New-Trent-Micro-Knit-Retractable-IMP63T/dp/B007FXMOV8/

It's the best I've ever used, and pretty cheap too.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Alitheia:
Can I ask what app that was? Looks pretty neat.:)
[Asus Transformer TF700] jjflemin:
Awesome, thank you so much. It looks much more accurate and responsive than the TF201 was. I couldn't even draw a circle on it without there being flat parts around the edges.

I already have the "New Trent Limir" stylus which I assume has the same tip or a very similar one to the one you used so I should be good there.
[Asus Transformer TF700] androidxen:
I'm using the Adonis Jot Flip, works so much better with the Infinity vs. my old Prime, both in responsiveness (from touch to registration of touch) and accuracy (I notate in cursive, in rather small handwriting).
[Asus Transformer TF700] FrontRowJoe:
It's called "Paint Joy", and it's free. :D

[Asus Transformer TF700] phoenixbennu:
If you want a stylus for any real sketching...and dont want to go with the samsung note line of devices....then pick the adonit jot stylus. You can buy directly from them or on amazon, or possibly elsewhere. Awesome stylus. Great customer service. The stylus comes with one tip, and I broke it. I was putting it on in the wrong way and broke it, completely my fault, and they sent me two free replacements for the one that I broke. No cost to me. So I get *two* for the *one* that *I* broke. Good service, if you ask me.

Not to mention I have tried many stylus devices, and never found one I liked until this one.

Also, android police have a great review between the tf201, tf300, and tf700

In part of that review they did a small spot on the drawing.

"Since a few people vented to me that digitizer performance was sorely underappreciated in tablets, I ran a simple "test" using Sketchbook Mobile and a capacitive stylus: draw an X from corner to corner, write the name of the tablet, and maybe doodle a little. The results more or less speak for themselves, but in a nutshell: Prime is crap, TF300 is good, and TF700 is fantastic."

[Asus Transformer TF700] Skullmonkey:
I'm still waiting on my hand stylus. If it doesn't work, I will probably end up giving it to one of my friends and getting a JOT. I want something I can write with to take notes and not have to carry a pad of paper with me.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jjflemin:
Thanks for the article! Wow, the TF700 does look great compared to the prime. I'm having a hard time waiting for Note 10.1 reviews so I might just spring for the TF700.

The Jot looks great also, I have heard a lot of good things about it. Probably a worthy investment for my purposes.

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nooktablet:
ordered mine last week with free super saver from amazon, today it just shipped , estimated delivery date is this saturday, so i'm waiting for it and so excited.

but i just read some reviews on amazon and i see people are complaining about the screen, they say their screen can be cracked easily and only cracks after one or two months, this make me worry a lot because after one month you can't return it, then i google tf300 cracked screen (if you just type "tf300 cr" you'll see google suggestion "tf300 cracked screen" which means there's a lot of cracked screens) and i saw a lot of threads about this, so is the screen really easy to get broken? did they get defective items or is this because of asus design?

some people even said in the first month it was working properly but on the 31st day (which is 1 day after the return period passed) the screen cracked when they hold the tablet.

so what do you guys think about this? how long have you used your tablet? and is it working ok?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kjplasma:
yes ..I've noticed that the tf300 screen cracks easily....a friend of mine cracked her tf 300 screen by a light drop and had to get it replaced for approx 400 $ ....drops are not covered under warranty ...so I am gonna be real careful with mine ...
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rompf:
Yeah I would be carefull with it. Buy a screen protector, wont protect the screen that much but its something. Its not exactly gorilla glass.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nooktablet:
That's the price for the tablet itself, she should've bought a new one instead of replacing it

I know it's not gorilla glass but i think it shouldn't be cracked so easy, a reviewer on amazon said it cracked because he hold the tablet on the right side by one hand,

Do you guys use any protective case and which one?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arnoldod:
The TF300 does flex easily so we should be handling it carefully.

It would be great if you can get protective case or sleeve for the tablet. I cannot get any protective case or sleeve for TF300 in my country as the tablet is not yet available locally so I just use a netbook sleeve (bag) that fits TF300 when I commute.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CodeLion:
The back plate also is easily removable (without voiding the warrante, as long as you don't lift up the stuff *under* the back plate).

I've heard talk of getting some stronger and nicer back plates made. Mine is currently rocking a custom milled aluminum plate which I made at a machine shop with the original as a template. Makes it quite a bit sturdier, and not too much heavier.

Perhaps some time soon, when they've been out a bit longer, some manufacturer will step up and start selling something similar.

Until then, I'd look around for a sleeve or soft-case to protect it from bumps and whatnot, and just be careful not to drop it. Treat it like an expensive, fragile laptop. (Which is what it amounts to in the end anyway, hehe.)

If you have any more questions and you can't find the answer here on the board, feel free to PM me about the TF300. I'm working semi-independently on several projects concerning it at once.

Dave

EDIT: I hold my tablet by one /edge/ all the time and I've never had any structure problems even before the back plate mod. So you should be fine as long as you don't drop it or something.
