Nobody? Really? I've looked on here at some suggestions but not sure what to get.

First time tablet user. Protection? Games? Etc?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hyrax:
Suggestions are VERY subjective. I have a feeling if people responded, they would tell you to use the search bar.

My advice is not to blow it all at once and save it for sales. I bought my tablet back in august and I only spent about $11 worth of my play money.

Splashtop is excellent. Splashtop 2 is free on your network. I bought Splashtop THD for better game support. It is a remote desktop program.

That is all you really need. Office programs are largely useless because of a lack of windows compatibility. Layouts and such are messed up.

Edit:

For note taking. Just take a test drive. I would avoid writing papers using android office apps.

Search on google for gizmos freeware. They have decent reccomendations for free software though.

Google drive is the best, it auto syncs with the network, since you're in college you should have an internet connection through out campus.

Hi All

I really like using Chrome on my S3 and I was bitterly disappointed with the performance I was getting when using it on my TF300T. In my quest to get this thing working as a viable alternative I turned my head towards the shocking internal SD IO performance and the browser2ram hack for the stock browser. I originally planned to fork browser2ram to create "chrome2ram" but instead decided on using DirectoryBind to put Chrome's cache on the ExternalSD card.

** Note: this method does require root **

To prove that this would actually give me a performance increase I used the DirectoryBind trick on Quadrant first and compared the I/O score before and after. Even with my lowly Class2 the figures spoke for themselves - 976 before and 2805 after... wow! Wish I had a faster SD card to hand to retest this with. The config for DirectoryBind was:

S: /Removable/MicroSD/QuadrantTemp/ (need to create this folder)

T: /data/data/com.aurorasoftworks.quadrant.ui.standard/​

So I've now applied this to Chrome and it definitely seems like things have improved - I can't say I've seen an ANR message since I started using this last night. If anyone wants to give this a try and see if they can notice any difference that would be appreciated :). DirectoryBind config for Chrome:

S: /Removeable/MicroSD/ChromeCache/ (need to create this folder)

T: /data/data/com.android.chrome/cache/Cache/​

I don't want to bore you with the step-by-step details of setting up DirectoryBind etc. but if there is the demand then I'll put a quick guide together - just make sure you change the settings to bind on boot.

Thanks for reading!
[Transformer TF300T General] jgaf:
I want to try this, the problem I'm having is that when I go to set the directory in /data/ the folder appears empty in the app. Weird, I even tried typing it and it said something about incorrect directory. I do have root and can clearly see all directories through root explorer, any ideas? also which version of directorybind did you use?

Thanks in advance
[Transformer TF300T General] exocet_uk:
I'm using "DirectoryBind_0.2.0o.apk". I remember I did have that issue actually. To get around it I manually typed the path in the box and disabled path verification - the Directory Bind explorer doesn't seem to work well for folders which require root to view.

Hope that helps.
[Transformer TF300T General] carlosraf20:
A how to will be nice, for those of us that have not use Directory Bind.
[Transformer TF300T General] lazer9:
Sounds interesting and definitely would be interested in a guide!
[Transformer TF300T General] mcall_r:
I also tried this and am getting the error that directorybind is unable to access the data directory. This is after granting root access with supersu and disabling path verification under directorybind settings...
[Transformer TF300T General] Niksunen:
Open terminal and use command "busybox chmod -R 775 /data"

(without ")
[Transformer TF300T General] exocet_uk:
Seems a couple of people are running into the same issue as myself - the DirectoryBind tool is a little confusing in it's naming of the data/target folders.

Download and install the Directory Bind apk from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1410262. I'm using the version 'DirectoryBind_0.2.0o.apk'

Shutdown Chrome and fire up DirectoryBind.

"Menu -> Preferences". Turn on 'Bind on boot'. Turn on 'Bypass path verification'.

Go back to the main screen and then "Menu -> Add new entry"

Long press on the first box (data). Navigate to /Removable/microSD. Click 'New' in the bottom left and create a folder (e.g. ChromeCache). Then hit 'Select'

The navigator doesn't work for app data so in the second box you'll need to type the path manually in here: "/data/data/com.android.chrome/cache/Cache/"

I left the 'copy files' tick box unchecked as I wasn't too bothered about having my existing cache - but this one is up to you. Click Add.

Finally click the grey disk icon the the left of the new entry and it should (hopefully) go green.

edit: make sure the button in the bottom right of the DirectoryBind main screen is also set to on.

After that you should be all ready to go!
[Transformer TF300T General] bsaman:
Thanks; those step by step instructions are dead on.

I have to say, though, that I still find the stock browser + browser2ram + IPAD UserAgent to be smoother and faster than Chrome + directorybind. What's been your experience since making that change?
[Transformer TF300T General] nooktablet:
how do you change the stock browser's user agent to ipad? i'm looking for a way to do this but don't know how. mine is running stock rom locked bootloader, but i have root access.

thanks.
[Transformer TF300T General] lazer9:
Mine didn't go green... :crying:

Nevermind, I think I got it. I had this part wrong: Navigate to /Removable/microSD
[Transformer TF300T General] bsaman:
I'm sorry, I should have mentioned I'm running CM10.

FYI: The reason I use the ipad UA is that espn.com attempts to load Flash for all Android browsers. The HTML5 page is much better, however, and using ipad as the UA fools it into loading that instead.
[Transformer TF300T General] pullasuti:
Interesting...

Had to try it, because using Chrome is always a real pain. Unfortunately in my case, there really is no improvement. Also tried Quadrant, and on a class 10 card the i/o score went up from 1100 to around 1400. On ics and with overclocking it was around 4000, and Chrome was still sluggish.
[Transformer TF300T General] allram:
I have 4410 score in quadrant with class 10µ1 microSD card and with this addon...
[Transformer TF300T General] ravn:
All this is very great.. But could it, as mentioned in the beginning, be made, so that Chrome could run off a ram drive?

The browser2ram is great, although it could be improved (by somebody how knows how?)..
[Transformer TF300T General] UndisputedGuy:
Does rooting the tablet void the warranty? It'd be nice to see performance increases but i don't want to void the warranty (and i don't really know how to do this tweak anyways)
[Transformer TF300T General] turdbogls:
Rooting does not....officially at least. you can always unroot the tablet at any time.

unlocking the bootloader does void the warranty though.

this is a really interesting read. i was pretty fed up with chrome. i rarely got the ANR message but it still locked up here and there even with Browser2RAM. i have since switched to the stock browser with no modifications done to it and dont have nearly the problems that i did with chrome.
[Transformer TF300T General] UndisputedGuy:
I think i might try contacting asus to confirm. Thanks for your help.

Also, is chrome with this tweak better than stock browser with Browser2RAM?
[Transformer TF300T General] moisaal:
Does anyone else think dolphin browser is faster and less problem riddled.

Also, would directorybind be a good app to transfer game data to SD card

Now gotta use dolphin, can't change stock browser user agent

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] n2nin:
I was using Siyah kernel v. 4.1.2 with mic swap along with AOKP JB ROM dated 8.28 with no problems.

I updated to the new AOKP JB dated 10.2 and everything worked flawlessly except when I call someone, they hear strange noises and static over their end of the receiver. I flashed back to the old ROM and updated to the Siyah kernel v 4.1.6 with mic swap. This had the same problems.

I recovered back to my original AOKP JB dtd 8.28 and all is well.

Is there a known fix or work around for this? I love the new ROM, but if I can't use my phone, then its pointless.

Why would the new Siyah kernel and my current ROM have the same problem?

Any help would be appreciated.

BTW,

I wipe cache, davick prior to flash and fix permissions afterwards.

thanks

Yes I did. I flashed the ROM with the included CM kernel and had the noise problem. so, then I tried to flash the Siyah kernel and it didn't work either. I thin tried a complete wipe and install, that didn't work either.

I've restored back to my ROM and kernel that I was using yesterday before flashing.

Yes, I know what you're getting at. Its says the the CM kernel is the only one that will work with the ROM. I understand that. But after I flashed the ROM with the CM kernel, it had the noise problem, therefore I tried a different kernel to no avail.

I understand you guys are trying to find out everything I did in order, but YES I did read the OP and follow it before trying anything else.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Phalanx7621:
Just to be clear, a full wipe consists of /system, and /data, along with /cache and /dalvik, also maybe try running the kernel cleaning script. U can Google kernel cleaning script i777 and probably find it I don't have a link for it right now. Maybe do all that and try one last time installing the rom fresh?

Thank you everybody for the response. I will state here that I'm a complete idiot. I PMd Task and told him my issue and that I was using the international version of the SGS2. He explained that his software was not for the I9100. I thought since I was already using his software that it would be compatible...........guess not.................. I re-flashed to stock then to a I9100 based AOKP ROM and all is fine now. It sucks, because I really liked Tasks version.....oh well.........

I have been flashing roms day in and out. Love them all but recently I have found that I really like the MIUI roms. Very Smooth, like the look and people get rather confused when they see it :D

I have a problem though, and its with all the ICS/JB roms that are coming out. Not a single one of them have a functional HDMI out.

I use this feature of my EVO 4g on a daily basis (or at least I did until I started using the ICS/JB roms)

I have already flashed every kernel I could get my hands on (Mason, Tiamat, Evervolve(sp?), stock(bad idea))

Does anyone have a kernel that I can use with a ICS/JB rom that will allow the HDMI out to work?

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Folks, one-click root methods aren't recommended for the Streak because of the possibility of the one-click root method bricking the Streak through the execution of a fastboot -erase or fastboot -w command. The Streak has issues with that particular command and a lot of users have come to us looking for help. The only help is to spend money to get the unit JTAGged, which renders the Streak useless as a phone, or purchasing a Streak with a broken screen and replacing the motherboard.

Please search for the thread "Everything you always wanted to know about the Streak but were too busy bricking it" and follow the links within it to get your Streaks properly rooted.

Based on what I can see on these two links, it looks like you're up the right alley. I can't spot a difference other than that chip and memory size. Everything looks the same save for some hardware differences (colour and mass) but that's irrelevant to porting.

I'd say give it a whirl

EDIT: keep in mind, one is an nVidia chipset, the other is Qualcomm. (I think) You probably just have to do some gypsy magic in order to get them working. It would be like porting a One XL rom to an One S, but having the same features and display I guess.

EDIT 2: I miss read the OP and looked up One XL, not One XL+. I'm a goof, move along, these aren't the droids you're looking for
[HTC One X+] Hunt3r.j2:
Might be that the only difference between the two is the radio/RIL.
[HTC One X+] Tachi91:
Hopefully it would just be a matter of loosing cellular connection and fix might just be a simple .zip to flash with the right radio files/framework.

That would be just short of universal roms... Unless the creator of the rom uses the installer to give the user the option of HSPA+ or LTE.
[HTC One X+] XxVcVxX:
I believe that the Qualcomm radio is additional with the original radio in the One X+. So, i guess it would work, but without LTE capabilities.
[HTC One X+] Hunt3r.j2:
No, the MDM radio would replace the Intel XMM baseband for LTE models.

While still on ICS I created all the necessary files for NVFLASH. I then installed stock jellybean and later installed CLEANROM 2.5.

I was quite happy with this ROM but I just had to know if I could get back to ICS using NVFLASH. Big mistake perhaps.

I am no expert but I did my best to follow all the instructions I could find. I went into APX mode and ran the following commands:-

wheelie --blob blob.bin

nvflash --resume --rawdevicewrite 0 2944 bricksafe.img

nvflash --resume --download 5 twrp-ICS.img

All commands seemed to work and reported success. I'm not sure but at this point I perhaps should have run "nvflash --resume --go" but I didn't. Instead, for some reason, I powered off the machine with the power button and then tried to reboot into twrp recovery. Nothing just a blank screen:(.

I then tried to power on while pressing the volume up button to try to get back into APX mode with the following result:-

E:\X\ADB\TF300T>wheelie --blob blob.bin

Wheelie 0.1 - Preflight for nvflash.

After all, I must have flashed the recovery a dozen times. With little hope of success, volume down after the --go command. Bingo, I was into recovery, I could hardly believe it.

So it's true, if you have the NVFLASH files, you can get back to ICS from JellyBean.
