I've tried only Codename yet and noticed one unpleasant distinction: the color rendition is different from the one that I get used to. It's much more greenish and yellowish. It's well-seen when you are browsing web pages or use reading apps. The lower the brightness, the uglier the color tint. I have no ideas on how to influence that :(
[HTC Incredible S] texastutt:
My two cents, for a total of 10 hours running Codename. Previous ROM was the May version of Playground ICS (last one posted on XDA).

Maps run well, email has come in and what I've used works, today will be the "acid" test, I know Nik is going to update the Kernel on it so I've not loaded all my apps just the ones I need to get through the day. Texts work well, and Dogcatcher works. I took a few photos and the camera was a little odd but the pictures look good. I will edit and update as it goes to 24hrs of use.

My report back, Full Day of work, a few phone calls several emails and me playing with GPS just to play with GPS (never worked well in Playground ICS). 16h 20m on battery and I'm at 27%. no crashes or need to reboot. BTW this is the codename version.

I've been running Codename for a few days now and it's one of the most stable roms that I've used. I did try Evolution for a bit, but I preferred Codename due to the extra features that it has, but you can't go wrong with either. Certainly some tweaks need to be made, but I've never had a crash or performance issues.

I have flashed both and can't decide which one i like better?! Nether less they are both awesome roms! :good:
[HTC Incredible S] umpa2:
I have flashed both, tried each out for a day before I decided on Evolution, even though it has fewer tweeks something was just that more alluring. I am always amazed and greatful at the skill of the coders on XDA. I found both have similar FC problems on certain apps, which should help development and updating, if my common sense works.
[HTC Incredible S] texastutt:
No freeze yet. The only thing I have is my widgets disappear after reboot and I reboot because fonts go "fuzzy"
[HTC Incredible S] reeper250:
I am running Evolution and whenever I play a video it force restarts the phone after a few seconds. This includes with three different media players, plus the YouTube ad, although games run fine.

EDIT: Also crashes when using the camera (stock and 3rd party) when having the camera on for about 30 seconds. Also, I tried the Codename ROM and the same thing happened.

One more thing; I think the Codename ROM is actually smoother then the Evolution ROM.

Second EDIT: This fixed the video playback;

How can I download the original Samsung ROM 4.0.4 without installing Samsung Kies on my PC or registering to Sammobile? Are there any mirrors out there where I can download the ROM?

Maybe someone is good enough to put it on Dropbox or Google Drive for me to download?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sxi200:
The best way to get latest firmwares in Checkfus is to key in the 'firmware info' section manually (product code, pda, csc etc) and then click 'check firmware'. It then finds it. Remember that it is downloading from Samsung direct so it has access to all firmwares, even if they don't show in the list. It's also the fastest.

Also, checkfus needs to be updated manually. To do this, delete the dbdata.db file in the same folder, open checkfus and it will show 'Downloading firmware list'. When it finishes you can also check the list again.

Last time I used it, it showed an older firmware version, but when I clicked check firmware it displayed details of the latest official version in the 'Result' section, which I then downloaded.

Edit: As I mentioned above, I just checked INU after refreshing Checkfus. Latest showing was LE8. I clicked check firmware and it showed latest firmware LH1 in the result section.

Heh, yes it's time for yet another versus thread: Nexus 7 vs IdeaPad A2109.

Both have 16GB, 1280x800 res, Teg3.

N7 has 7" LCD, JB.

Idea has 9" LCD, HDMI-out, rear cam, micro-SD. It has 4.0, so there'll be a lag in getting CM10.

Worth it for +$50? Wait for sale at MicroCenter for $250?

It really boils down to what you prefer. I like the size of the nexus 7 my only gripe is I wish it had an option for tablet view by default. Having a rear camera is pretty much point less. I never used it on my ipad, its quicker and easier to just use your cellphone. A high resolution front camera would have been nice but they have to save something for the next nexus tablet.
[Nexus 7 General] demandarin:
Thats a lenovo, right? if so, no develooement support from cds really. the crazy developement we have for N7 is worth it alone, imo. plus we know jb is performing well on n7. not sure how ics is performing on ideapad.

Isnt this lenovo attempt to copy apple with a square tablet aka 4:3 aspect ratio? I like the 16.9 or 16:10 widescreen formats. better for multimedia. I know lenovo releases a square tsblet. not sure if its this one.

>Isnt this lenovo attempt to copy apple with a square tablet aka 4:3 aspect ratio?

That's the S2109, which has OMAP4430. The A2109 is 16:10 and Teg3. Yeah, confusing.

Yep, we'll see how the reviews fare, and it'll be worth waiting to see what kind of 9" or 10" KF2 Amazon has lined up for Sep 6 announcement. I'm not worried about dev support. As long as it's a decent tablet, then $300 for a 9" (with micro-SD expansion) is a great deal => many will buy one => good dev support. Same goes for KF2.

I don't see this directly competing with N7, but more with the 10" tabs. Only N7 competitors will be a possible KF2, and of course the iPad mini.

>Nothing beats direct os support from google... At least for me...

I think CM10 will come along much faster than CM9, and since all these cheap Teg3 tabs have same underpinnings, I don't see much of a lag time to get JB as older tabs had with ICS. So, yes, direct Goog support is always good, but it's not an essential as, say, for the Xoom. The micro-SD means more to me.
[Nexus 7 General] steevp:
That's a pretty good deal.

I think I paid like $280 (including tax and shipping) for my 16 GB Nexus 7, although it did come with a $25 Google Play credit.

I'd wait to see if it gets Cyanogenmod support or something though

Major bummer, but for the price it's still is a good value. Can you post some close-ups? Not that I don't believe you, but a thousand words and all that.

Funny thing, went Googling for tab specs and found this "confidential" doc for A2109A. This 'A' version has the OMAP 4430 and listed a micro-SD port. It was supposed to be out in July. I guess the Kai deal came along, and Lenovo peeps retrofitted to get quad. Sad about the zapped SD port.

http://shop.lenovo.com/ISS_Static/WW/LA/Direct/es/co/products/tablets/ideapad/A2109A Datasheet.pdf

BTW, the OMAP4 version listed on the Lenovo is the older S2109. The new A2109 is only listed below in "new products," with no specs.

http://www.lenovo.com/products/us/new-products/

>For me, there's no comparison. I'll never get anything less than 200 DPI again, and stare at a bunch of ugly pixellated text.

Higher res would've been nicer of course. I think 1280x800 is fine for 10" (or 9"), given the lower price. It does pose an interesting comparison between this and the Acer A700 32GB, which is $425 at Newegg. A700's excessive heat ish scared me off.

Anyway, more cheap tabs to come. Acer A210 should be here shortly, and will take over the A200 slot at $250 ($300?). Also Teg3. Downer? Possibly short battery life, like the A200. But BL should be open as with rest of Acer tabs, and it will have full USB port.

If by solid you mean solid pieces of feces, then yes, you're right. Over the past 2 years I have bought 4 Lenovo laptops for my customers, from high end to mid range. All of them came back to me with fatal issues, 3 of which were motherboard failure. I'd understand if it was a single model having QA issues, but this was multiple models over a 2 year period. I don't trust Lenovo at all anymore. Or Intel boards.

Is there any word or feeling of community development with this tablet? I am quite interested in this tablet. I have a N7 and love JB and CM10.

Lets put tthis bluntly ..lol. there's no hype about it because no one really pressed about it.Lenovo is low key. They do put out some good stuff. But xda developement has always been dead for it. Lets put it this way. Toshiba has better xda support than lenovo. And Toshiba has none..lol. Toshiba and Lenovo are likely the two worst companies whennit comes to xda support. If xda developer support is a concern, then move on stick with nexus 7 or galaxy note 10.1 those are the 2 hottest devices on the market rigght now in tablets. All the major players.

Edit: to clarify, when I say the screen isn't great, I'd say out of the N7, GTab2, and iPad, it's definitely the worst of the bunch

Re: Dev scene - This is the first day it came out. Nobody even has a video of the thing except some dude in China. Give it some time. CM10 is out in the Thinkpad tab dev forum, so by no means is it a dead scene. Lenovo has promised JB this year for its existing models, and it's a no-brainer that the new A2100 line will get same.

Re: Quality - The Thinkpad tab was a good quality device, although digitizer support was lacking (no surprise). OTOH, the cheap A1 was poor. So it's a bit hit-or-miss. You can't judge just by the brand, as Lenovo has such a diverse spectrum of products, like HP. It's case-by-case.

I'm looking forward to Thinkpad Tab 2 and Yoga hybrid, although these will be Win8, which means $600-700+ as Len itself has said. Hope to see a WinRT model as well.

Yes, make no mistake that A2100 series is a "value" line. Bang/buck is good, but par for the upcoming "value" wave. Bummed about the no-SD (John-Galt sez no GPS either?). Acer A210 is up next on the watch list. A200 did pretty good in reviews, and it'll have full USB and SD.

Am guessing that Asus' upcoming TF500 will be a cheaper replacement for TF300, to get price down to the $300 mark as everyone else's. TF300's $400 price (plus $150 dock) isn't and won't be competitive come fall.

Anyway, pretty awesome to see workable tabs in $200-300 range, which should include an iPad model as well. The upshot of it is that N7 won't be a "value" leader for long. Amazon alone will want to upstage the N7.

Psst don't tell nobody but I'm secretly hoping that MS will come through with the rumored $199 fire-sale for Surface RT. You know, to kickstart WinRT sales like what HP Touchpad had done, and like what Amazon & Goog are doing with KF and N7. How else is WinRT going to compete with no software base?

Lotsa toyz for totz ahead.

[Nexus 7 General] richdaley:
I have come to this conclusion as well. I have owned some great hardware but there is nothing like having direct support on the Nexus devices and I have vowed to only buy them until something changes my mind.

My problem is that even though there are some great developers out there, when your phone requires a custom rom to have the most recent version of Android, you are dependent on a group of people that you don't know and they can have whatever priorities they choose. For example, I put a JB build on my One S and it worked pretty well but then battery life would be about 2 hours or the GPS would act unpredictably.

It just isn't good enough for me to have a device OS working 90% of the way. It always seems that the 10% comes up at the worst times like the GPS crapping out while in the middle of a bad neighborhood or bluetooth crashing in the middle of a workout.

It really depends on what you want. If you prefer the smaller size of the Nexus 7, it's the better choice, but if you don't mind the bigger size, the additional capabilities of the IdeaPad make it the better choice. It's too bad the Nexus 7 doesn't have TV-out, it would be really nice to be able to hook it up wherever I am and watch movies.
[Nexus 7 General] Manatee Burger:
Not to bash Lenovo, because they make pretty good products, but nothing beats having a Nexus device. Getting updates directly from Google is far superior to having to wait on it to go through the OEM. You can't go wrong with the Nexus 7. Lenovo could be worth it, a bit of a gamble though.
[Nexus 7 General] mellocello83:
Took a look at it yesterday at BB and I too was disappointed that there was no microSD slot.

For my taste, the screen (although perfect size IMHO) is what turned me off. Very bad off angle viewing and not bright at all.

The argument though is probably price vs. features, so I think they'll sell pretty good. I also thought I read somewhere that they were in the process for a JB update, but that could have be for the older Tegra 2 models.

It's not quad core, but it does have a 1.5 Ghz Snapdragon S4 dual core, which is no slouch. It also has an IPS screen. However, it uses slower DDR2 RAM, and has less, 1 GB. Also, to get GPS you have to buy the 3G Enabled version, but from what I can find out only the WiFi version is for sale in the US.

I tried an Excite 7.7 and while the AMOLED screen is nice at times, it appears that the

Tegra 3 PRISM "feature" is at play there as well. I found that the screen contrast and color was adjusted for the worse the more white space that was on the screen. It was what we're seeing on the N7, only much worse. If it weren't for that, it would be a nice tablet that's being sold for considerably less now at a few places.

Its the smart dimmer feature you're describing. We already came up with a way to disable it. There's a thread on it. You can use a flashable zip to putnit in init.d folder or you can manually pit it there and use s manager or something to have it run on boot. It works on nexus7 and infinity pad. Likely works on all tegra3 devices. But its been proven that it works and that the smart dimmer/prism feature gets disabled. Thread is somewhere here in general ;)

I just went to Best Buy and it DOES have an sd slot! Look at the back at the speaker cover, on the edge by the screen there is a divit uses that to remove the cover (be careful as I cracked the display models cover) and the sd card slot is there! And I did verify that it does have GPS also.

"Yes! There is a micro slot but it appears they left it out of the documentation. You have to pry off the little back piece that covers the camera and speakers and you will see it."

Not too much showing for Android tablets at IFA. Only Lenovo announced some tabs, which were all already revealed elsewhere. Outside of phones, IFA was mostly a coming out for Win8, along with a handful of WinRT toys.

Whatever Android tab momentum going into the 2012 home stretch will have to rely on Nexus 7 and the upcoming KFs. In other words, "value" will be its only play for this go-round.

Google will need to step up big time with the K release. The "under $300" cellar will be considerably compressed once iPad mini rolls around. And if MS gets it into its head to roll out Surface RT for $199, all bets are off.
