I know it's still a little hard to fit both hands on our 5.3 inch screens but I'm just looking for a full computer layout qwerty keyboard to use in landscape mode.

So like the keyboard you would usually find on a tablet.

The closest one I found was this one.

Does anyone else have any other suggestions?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] nikad1970:
I've been using Hackers Keyboard (the one in your link above) for a while. It's perfect.

I use it mainly when I'm running Aide where I can take advantage of shortcuts like ctrl+c for copy, etc and have symbols in easy reach.

Try it, you won't be disappointed :o

this is my first thread in xda. sorry if i break any rules. and plz tell me if i did. :p

============================================================

Hello committee! I just registered here a few days ago and find it a really nice place. i found a lot of useful infos and learned skills here. enjoyed every second reading the posts. :)

i just spend the afternoon testing with some different kernels and ROMs. trying to figure out which one should i choose for daily use. i know it would be a long term testing to get a conclusion but this is a start anyway.

i'm posting my result here hoping could do a little contribution to this committee. and PLEASE share your ideas with me too!

============================================================

I used the app AnTuTu Benchmark on my Nexus S. dunno if it's the best benchmarking app but i think as long as i keep all the other settings the same. the result still tells some truth.

The results below ONLY show the performance of roms and kernels at BENCHMARKING. it does NOT say anything about battery life, usability or stability.

View attachment 1265857

=======================UPDATE===============================

AOKP seems not working properly with AirKernel. trying to figure out why. anyone can help?

*Air186B65f = AirKernel #186 BlueColor with 65fps

*Air186V = AirKernel #186 VoodooColor without 65fps

(both the above are High-BigMem versions.)

*marOTA4.2= marmiteKernel v4.2 for stockOTA ROM

*mar4.2 = marmiteKernel v4.2 for Custom ROMs

*bfq is not currently available on marmiteKernel v4.2 so i only tested deadline. dunno if it's a proper choice.

*Adroxd = Androxide 3.1.0

*NotPass = benchmarking was interrupted by force close of the app.

some conclusions:

1. ROOT does NOT affect the performance on stock ROMs.

2. performance does NOT do better at benchmarking, as it's supposed to, than some other governers.

3. NotPass does NOT happen every time with the same settings. i.e. i tested 2 times at 1.4GHz with smartassV2 and bfq on stock ROM. the first time it gave an result of 4090. but the 2nd time it force closed.

4. schedulers seem to be not affecting benchmarks on a big scale.

5. The result shows stock ROM with custom kernels DOES better performance than custom ROMs. (I like things to be stock. it makes me feel safe. But at the same time i prefer those mods in custom ROMs like the volume rocker wake-up and advanced power menus.)

6. I love xda-developers.com :laugh:
[Nexus S Android Development] Articudos:
New benchmark expert arrived!

Welcome!:)

Edit: aha...not in-progress like bedalus:/
[Nexus S Android Development] knzo:
Since you are new to this let me say something that most users are unaware of: the governor is absolutely irrelephant. The CPU will always be at 100%, otherwise it's not a true benchmark, thus rendering the delay to reach such % (basically what a governor does) a parasite variable.

The I/O scheduler performance is also tricky to measure as some are better in sequential operations, some are not.

So if you want to test ROMs & kernels (which makes much more sense, not I/O schedulers and governors), then here are a few tips:

More ROMs (make sure to include CM as it has many small code optimizations).

More kernels.

Drop the governor column and do everything in performance (this will force the max CPU frequency and eliminate the aforementioned parasite variable).

Choose one I/O scheduler and use it for every kernel (homogeneity).

Don't do OC.

Use more benchmarks (CF-Bench, Sunspider, GLBenchmark).

Run at least 3 times and note down the average result.
[Nexus S Android Development] vikingsail:
LOL no i'm not a benchmark expert, yet. ;D but thanks for the advise. i think in-progress makes ppl excited and helps me to do the work better. just like knzo's post!

these are very helpful! i'll take the advise and make my test better.

but i don't think i'll do A LOT ROMs and kernels. since i'm just testing those ROMs and kernels which i might be using for daily. but i WELCOME all other guys here to post their results! :fingers-crossed:

again, many thanks to your help!
[Nexus S Android Development] Andrew1998:
So the best rom+kernel is the stock+air kernel?
[Nexus S Android Development] polobunny:
We need more numbers. A benchmark thread with nearly only conclusions is just asking people to believe you without any proof. Not gonna happen in a place full of skeptics.

Knzo suggestions are very good too. You need more homogeneity in your benchmarks. Being all over the place only adds variables in the equation that favor one kernel or the other. And more tests. Pretty much just follow all what he said.

Irrelevant*
[Nexus S Android Development] knzo:
You don't really think I'd write irrelephant unintentionally right? I'm meme-aware! ;p
[Nexus S Android Development] polobunny:
Haha! You got me there. I kinda knew of your meme ways, but that was some good trolling right there.
[Nexus S Android Development] sysadmn:
Try to make the conditions the same for each run. For example, restart the phone and leave idle for 3 minutes, etc.
[Nexus S Android Development] vikingsail:
remember there's nothing called "best". as i said above the result only shows performance at benchmarking. as we know good benchmark score may result in poor battery life so it's not recommended for daily use.

if you could help this work it's much appreciated!

maybe you just do a benchmark (takes only 3 mintes) and post your rom and kernel with the score.

best wishes.

Well since you asked nicely, you did post in the wrong section.

[General Questions and Answers] Le Taon:
Hello everyone!

I've installed CM9 on my LG LU6200, "CM9 FOR LU6200.zip" taken from files.mail.ru/6XBFYU

(i don't know where he's got it)

all looks great except of calendar sync, it shows error for me even after wipe and installing gapps_fixer.zip

also i tried to install zips from:

cmnightlies.nechko.com/index.php?device=p930&translations

but it shows error 7 when i try to install it, also as

download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=stable

cm-9.0.0-su640.zip

cm-9.0.0-p930.zip

give the same negative result.

Does anyone know either the resolving of google calendar sync or the another CM9 firmware for LU6200?

it's very important to me, because the stock korean firm. is not suitable for it's local application, tryings to use korean phone codes instead of local and other useless things even after setting language as english.

I can use english or russian but not korean:(

[General Questions and Answers] Syrusoo:
The GPS antenna will work fine without internet. The applications that utilize the GPS function probably wont like maps which requires internet to download the directions. Any app that has all the necessary information installed on the phone to utilize the GPS like apps that record workout data for exercise: speed, altitude, direction, coordinates should work fine. Any other apps as long as your are connected to wifi should work fine too. Edge and GPS on my phone the galaxy s2 work fine and I have used it many times that way for navigation just took forever to load satellite maps.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greenmoose7708:
Hi All,

I've just started having this problem on my SGS3. LG8 Firmware, LH1 Modem. CF-Root 6.4.

Video player opens up ok (shows the animated previews ok) but when i go to play a video the screen goes blank for a second or 2 and i get the dreaded "Unfortunately, Video Player has stopped working". This also happens when i launch the video from the Gallery. It was working ok and i cant pinpoint any app i installed that could have caused this.

I've tried clearing the data for the Video Player application in the Application settings, no joy. The phone still records video fine and plays back videos ok on a PC or using MX Player on the device.

Any suggestions before i do a full wipe and restore?

Cheers

Hya,

I'm new on here , so please be easy on me with my question :angel: . I recently purchased Google nexus 7 tablet from some local website who asks the customers to report any defect with in one day, only then they will ship new product :crying: , So I'll get one day for checking . Since Google hasn't launched Google nexus 7 tablet here (India) officially, so I'm getting the imported one, website support peoples even ain't aware of how to get warranty if product gets turned in to black box :p .

I saw some q/a here and I found many peoples having problem with product (related hardware ones) . I'd be thankful if you guys could list some basic things to check pertaining to hardware of product to make sure everything is fine :)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr_tris:
Hi, I'm on my 5th replacement and everyone had a different fault!

First you want to check round the edge of the screen to make sure the glass is flush with the case and not raised up so you can push it down with your finger, If anywhere the problem is normally down the left side. (DON'T TRY TO REPAIR IT YOURSELF WITH THE SCREW FIX TUTORIALS!) In most cases the fix is just temporary and the problem returns. This is a defect!

The next thing you want to do is check for dead pixels & white light bleed out around the edge of the screen. This app is perfect for the job.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.ujacha.deadpixel

Next you want to check the speakers by cranking them up to 100% and play several video or audio files to check for crackling/distortion/popping.

It's well known that the speakers are very cheap but they should still be crystal clear with the volume at it's highest.

Now you want to check the touch screens response. There is an issue with the screen not responding after heavy processing/game play where the screen becomes unresponsive down one half of the screen and only locking/unlocking the screen solves the problem.

First I would advise hammering the N7 with a game that is Tegra 3 supported for example Dead Trigger or Shadow Gun to get it nice and hot if at any time the screen becomes unresponsive then you have the same issue.

To double check run this app, you should quite easily be able to detect all ten fingers on the screen at all times.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.the511plus.MultiTouchTester

The last thing I would check is the connectivity through Wi-Fi & Bluetooth, this is the least common fault as far as I know. Just check you have nice strong signals with no drop outs.

So after all that if you have managed to put a tick in all the boxes I reckon you have a sweet device!

I hope this helps you and any one else out there and that you have more luck than I had finally getting a perfect working N7. :)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JeepFreak:
Great question (although I don't know if it's a dupe). Thanks for all the info mr_tris. That sucks you're having so many issues. I haven't noticed anything wrong with mine since I got it yesterday, but I'll check all the things you mentioned when I have the tablet in front of me.

@mr_tris jeez!! 5 replacement means something and very horrible so to speak . I really appreciate help and advises you posted. I'll make sure to check them out .

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaneydroid:
One other thing to check: the gyro.

Does the screen rotate normally or do you have to turn the device so the screen is practically vertical (assuming you choose to unlock rotation via the notification panel).

If you are into gaming, try a driving game or something to make sure the cars don't veer left or right.

I had this trouble on my second one and have read of quite a few other people having the same problem.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] player911:
The only real issue I've heard about is the screen raising above the bevel some. Yea this is a defect as the screws are too long and pushes the screen out. Returning it 50 times isn't going to fix it. Only by chance may you get one where the screw is slightly smaller (1mm). The solution is to make a little washer out of some plastic and put it under the screw. It doesn't need much to fix it. The cover pops off just like a regular battery cover and the screws are right there. If it is a problem for you, why NOT try to spend 2 min and just fix it yourself?

You wouldn't even notice unless someone pointed it out. You literally have to turn the N7 and look across the screen to even notice it. Hardly anything to freak out about.

Some people have blown their speakers already too. Most have been after a long session of movie watching or music. I suggest to not blow your speakers out (using at Max volume for extended periods) right out of the box. Let the speakers break in first. Honestly the speakers are so loud anyway that I normally have it at 50% volume Max. Probably not an issue either but its good usage practice.

I've also heard of one or two screens fritzing out with lines and fades. Probably nothing to concern yourself with.

I haven't heard of anything else but I guess it would always be best to check it out thoroughly.

I do recommend unlocking first thing because it wipes all data including storage and saves. I'm using EOS rom and its heavenly. Trinity kernel is also awesome because he tweaks the colors of the screen to pop more.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr_tris:
Well I just installed Puddle and Riptide and my gyroscope is offset by 11% to the right. I can calibrate it with the compass app but it goes back to normal when you reboot it!

Most important things are:

Screen - check viewing angles and color reproduction in the dark. Best reference is to use a site like GSMARENA for high res photos and screen reviews.

Body - Look for cracks or scratches, especially around ports and the headphone jack.

Things to disregard:

Slow system - this is just something you will have to deal with in an android environment.

Warm after prolonged use - again, normal.
