works for P6 also

Same experience on Allview P6 Stony (P6_0201_V1179 software build). This method works for me - similarly I had to run the script (and the reboot cycle) 2x before it had an effect.

As pointers for others, before you try this method you need to make sure you have ADB drivers installed. Trying to install stock google drivers didn't work at all for me, what worked for me was installing latest PdaNet drivers (pdanetZ350.exe) from here: junefabrics.com/android/download.php *

Don't forget to install OTA Rootkeeper app afterwards and run it once - hopefully saves you the hassle of rooting again if the P6 should receive an incremental update.

Enjoy, thanks Flapperbol!

Version 18 also works

Just to let you guys know that version 18 of Root_with_restore works. I just the ADB drivers from the PDAnet install (which I cancelled after the drivers were installed) and the phone is now rooted!

Does anybody know how to get rid of those ugly allview icons? I hate those things.

Hey there. I'm a total n00b, but...

I'm sure you guys have noticed... The audio quality of recorded videos is bad.

Can the Camcorder be modified to improve the audio quality, like, the audio bit rate, or something?

Or is there an app which does a better job than Camcorder? lgCamera for instance?

Enlighten me, please. :p
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Coug76:
Letting us know which ROM you are running would help quite a bit...

Hastily spouted for your befuddlement
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] abe5:
To be honest with you, I do not own the phone. I'm planning on buying it, though.

However, the quality of the audio is quite the disappointment.

What should I do?

:D
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] cybot_x1024:
Best idea would be to get the phone first, then load up a custom rom on it. Custom roms offer you a lot of flexibility and will let you mod quite a bit on the phones software.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Riyal:
If you don't own the phone then how did you know the audio is not good? Did you test it on someone who owns it? If yes did he customize the ROM? Then define disappointment to you? We want to know what makes you think the audio is crappy so we could tell you something. Cause without explaining why most users would just tell you to forget it and buy something else.

:D If I were the OP I wouldn't buy a phone before knowing the pros and cons :p

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] abe5:
An acquaintance of mine owns the phone. I think it's running on the stock ROM. The phone is very cool and the only thing which kind of bothers me is the audio quality of the Camcorder. I also went to check on YouTube, for instance, for HD video samples. The bad audio quality does not seem to fit properly in a full HD video.

Edit: Okay, so, I saw the post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1908269

It says it can improve video recording quality.

Did Samsung not learn from their law suit not to copy other manufactures? Does this design of the new Samsung windows 8 tablet remind you of anyone else's?

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
Apple's issue with the OG G-Tab wasn't just its physical design, it was that, in their view, the OS it ran mimicked iOS and the combination would confuse potential customers. They never went after Windows phones even though they are physically similar to the Android phones they sued over because no one will confuse WP7/8 with iOS. The same thing would apply to W8 tablets.

This is far closer in design to the iPad and yet Apple never went after Asus. They pick and choose their targets carefully. I'd assume that in 2015 if all the appeals run out and Samsung loses Apple will then go back and seek damages from all other Android tablet and phone makers using the Samsung win as precedent.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] toenail_flicker:
Nice. Depending on user reviews, that may be my next tablet.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] madsquabbles:

the tablet in the ops link clearly does not look like i pad. that button/ logo is at the bottom middle of landscape mode .. The ipad is bottom middle of portrate mode...

And this my friends is why Windows tablets will fail. The screen is simply too small to be a laptop replacement and too expensive to be a tablet replacement. Of course some people will like it but it will not find wide acceptance. Add to that that enterprises HATE Windows 8 and you have a recipe for failure.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] erica_renee:
I would so have to agree with this. A

As far as the tablets looking alot . well the look is directly related to how it works. the layout and so on . that is why the icrap lawsuits and patents should be tossed out. as well as some other design patents .. its not just a common sense function.. not a design..

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] madsquabbles:
but i think this is closer to true mobile computing. a tablet that "transforms" into a laptop and you can hook up to a monitor and other external components when at home. all with the power of a full OS and better application support than any other tablet.

it's definitely not what everyone wants or needs, but it's something i'm looking forward to.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] banderos101:
"better application support than any other tablet."

Wait till the product is out for a while before making a claim like that. It reallly puts me off considering a win8 tablet when people proclaim something is this and that, when the damn things not even out yet...........

Saying that, as a current android user i wish the win8 tabs a sucess in a FREE MARKET, because COMPETITION benefits us all
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] mitchellvii:
An 11.6 inch tablet at same basic resolution as this tablet is going to look like crap. Seriously. These Windows 8 Tablets are too expensive for a tablet and too small for a laptop replacement.

Stuck in the middle. They won't sell.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] madsquabbles:
guess i should have been more specific since there will be 2 versions of the w8 tablet, but i was referring to the pro version from barry's post. it's already a fact that windows has more applications than any tablet (but not necessarily all tablet friendly) - possibly combined. sure i'll be giving up battery life, but that's what i'll have my ARM tablet for - who knows what OS that one will be.:D

one thing i'm hoping for on windows rt is the ability to tie multiple devices to one account but only allow certain devices to actualy access the mail and personal settings of the main account, like IOS does. i don't like tying all my android devices share with my daughter to my gmail account and i don't want to make two account and have to buy an app twice to share it with her (amazon is a decent solution, but no for apps i've already purchased). i've got app blockers on her tablet now, but one day she may get smart enough to get around them.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] hoss_n2:
You can put another account on her device and use apk extractor to share paid apps with her without the need to buy them twice, i do this allot with my brothers

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] mitchellvii:
True HD on an 11.6 inch screen (or God help us, a 10.1 inch screen)? MS Office?

Hope you brought your magnifying glass. We are talking about reading 4pt fonts here.

Enterprises move at a glacial pace. Does anyone seriously think they are going to redesign all of their legacy database forms just so someone can view them on an 11.6 inch screen in HD?

The PROBLEM with these W8 tablets is that the ones that can really do the good stuff well are priced at or above ultrabook prices. Sure some will pay for that, but will they capture 1/3 of the tablet market? Face it, most professionals will STILL need their laptops because the tablet screens are just too small. So it isn't like you can buy a laptop and a $500 tablet. You need a laptop and a $1200 tablet.

Because of the screen size, tablets with small screens will NEVER be the big show. The will ALWAYS be in a supporting role.

THE CAVEAT:

W8 will sell when they can create full size, light weight convertible laptops which also function as tablets with pen input. Would I pay ultrabook prices for a 15 inch W8 tablet with pen input? Absolutely. W8 will only work commercially in a laptop replacement space, not a tablet replacement space.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Nefariouss:
I like the Lenovo Yoga that was announced. Forget the model number but the 13.3 laptop with turnaround foldable touch screen wacom display.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] madsquabbles:
this would be one heck of an expensive laptop given how much wacom charges for it's centiq's.

i do agree that fhd is just too much for a small screen unless you're able to adjust the dpi. some android roms allow you to tweak the dpi on a per app basis, this would be something you'd surely need on a desktop app running on a high res tablet.

i'd rather not utilize something that goes against the TOS. that's basically considered warez if i did that with paid apps.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] banderos101:
I think that w8 users should prepare for "growing pains", just like google and apple went through, the only way i can see microsoft avoiding this, is if they've used all this time wisely, coming late to the party in creating hardware/software solutions based on what apple and google went through in the market they're about to enter, or, if they provide a far superior product to its competitors, for me personally, that would be a multitude of onboard non proprierty ports (wired and wireless), but even then the rest would need to be on par if not superior to anything on the market now, such as a combination of os and the hardware design i.e. weight, fanless etc etc

So far

Win8 pros

Ports

Win8 cons

A personall opinion........i dont like metro, classic window all the way, (yes, ive heard rumblings of a classic option, although no substantial evidence to back it up, not calling people a liar here, but if ive not seen official sources, and MORE IMPORTANTLY, the device its self, ill reserve my judgement overall)

Praise on a product thats not out in the user base sounds to much like marketing to me, which i hope im wrong, because if microsoft, official marketing, needs to go through official means and not through the user base, where the product is not even out...........but i understand that some people are excited about the first win8 tablets coming to market, so ill choose to believe excitement for wintab product/s in this case, considering i hope they bring competition in the communication department, wired and wireless, i.e. ports, nfc, widi,and any future STANDERDISED communication methods, why STANDERDISED, because it will give us more options for external product compatibility...........i buy a product for my android the device, and know i can use it with win8 or ios...........disclaimer, boycott on all apple products until they get their heads out of their asses and compete in a free market, im waiting to see microsofts stance on this, and same goes for them if they go down that road, regardless of product, i dont give a **** about patents, i give a **** about progress, something patents does NOT incourage, im not against patents on something trully inovate, but i dont agree with monopolies on something that a vast majority wants, and only one way of doing it, and if there is another method of doing the same thing in a different manner, i dont want to see anti competitive lawsuits

Sorry, i swear i didnt start that of as a high and mighty rant, but as it always seems to be the case nowadays, ive let my thoughts get away with me, and as is in the past, i post it anyway, because i feel so strongly about it, and just incase your thinking what im thinking right now........well, why'd you post it then???..........?????thuck knows

It's not a tablet but a 13" laptop is the sweet spot for portability and on the go computing. At 3.5lbs and .67" thick this is looking like a good on the go laptop.

I have been reading the marketing hype and most any source I can find and watching for information about Windows 8 tablet running MS Office. Alll have found is Win8 will run MS Office on a laptop but nothing saying it will run on the tablets. This makes me think it will not run on a tablet. I mean if it would then that would be a big selling point and would be worth mentioning since no other tablet can run their major software.

I am waiting to see a Linux tablet now that would be cool and we know it is possible since people that root their tablets do run Linux.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] tenderidol:
What have you been reading? All versions of Windows 8 tablets (e.g., ARM-based running Windows 8 RT and x-86 based running full Windows 8) will run MS Office. The version that's going to be included with the Windows 8 RT tablets will be missing some advanced functions that 95% of the public don't even realize that they're there, and the Atom and i5 tablets are rumored to include the full office when they are released.

MS Office 2013 features a touch mode specifically designed for tablets and touch-screen laptops. Even with the touch mode active, it's probably going to be still difficult to do "serious" office work on a tablet. However, the stylus on Samsung Series 5 and 7 tablets will be extremely useful for this. Once they hit the stores, we'll be able to test them and see how practical they are going to be...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] globalgpj:
I think by early-to-mid 2013 we will see MS Office for Android.

There was a leak by Ms office about this: http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/10/...h-android-ios/?utm_source=BinushackerEngadget

Of course it was quickly, well, partly denied by MS in USA.

However, let's be reasonable, Ms has to first get it's share of tablets going etc.. , so of course they are not going to release Ms Office for ipad and android just yet.

Many want to use their Android Tablets for Powerpoint presentations with embedded videos and audios. The only way they can do that now is convert it on their pc to video and then copy that to the Android tablet. Nobody has developed yet a working Android software that works with ppt with embedded videos and audios.

But knowing there is a huge market with Andorid, Ms eventually will release Ms Office for Android. That's my two cents :)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] mitchellvii:
Face it, Office, especially things like Access and Excel need real estate to be usable by the typical enterprise customer. An 11.6 or 10.1 inch screen is simply too small. You cannot do serious work when you are looking at size 4 font.

Another thought to keep in mind. If W8 tablets start putting a crimp in Android business, this will drive the Android Development Community to come up with better Windows emulations reducing that advantage. As has been mentioned, a full blown Android version of MS Office appears to be in the works.

So what do we have with Windows 8 tablets?

Too small to be a laptop replacement.

Too expensive to be a tablet replacement.

From an enterprise standpoint, too dumb to be a Windows 7 replacement.

From a software standpoint, not enough barriers to entry to protect a competitive advantage

.

Tablets are now and always will be accessories. Until you have a tablet that is at least 15 inches it will NEVER be the big show. But a 15+ inch tablet really isn't a tablet at all, is it? It is a touch screen convertible laptop (which might actually succeed as the next logical step in laptop design - I'd buy one of these).
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] fella1:
you raise some good points. I wonder if the tablet version of Ms office that Will be released will address the font size concerns. It will be interesting to watch things develop over the next year as attempts are made to address the desktop Functionality side of windows 8 on a tablet form factor.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] redviper666:
I completely agree. I am sad that there isn't a magical technology that lets me connect my 10 inch tablet to a larger monitor or a keyboard. I even thought up a name for the action. I call it Ducking.. no wait .. how about "Docking"? Yeah that sounds good to me.

And I hope we can one day have a direct wireless connection to larger screens. I have a good name for it too. Maybe we can call it WiDi?

Windows 8 will not be a good tablet until all these magical new technologies can be invented though :(
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] mitchellvii:
The problem isn't a lack of these technologies (snark noted), the problem is finding a way to carry your full sized monitor in your back pocket so you can connect your tablet to it in the field. :rolleyes:

The whole point of a tablet is portability. It is a mobile device. If you need to dock it to a legacy monitor to be usable where is the portability? If you do not require portability why have a 10.1 inch tablet at all?

But you help me make my point. Too small for a laptop. Too expensive for a tablet.

---------- Post added at 10:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:53 AM ----------

The day they come out with a 15 inch true hd convertible touch ultrabook with pen input and W8 I will be first in line to buy it and won't hesitate to spend ultrabook money for it. I believe this is where laptops are headed. W8 tablets are a non starter.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] tenderidol:
So, MS Office on a 11.6" screen is bad, but we can't wait for the release of the MS Office for Android (max. 10" screens)?

I remember seeing a picture of your setup where you had a wireless keyboard and a mouse connected to your Note 10.1. So, that's doable on a 10.1" screen, but adding a keyboard and/or a mouse to a 11.6" Windows 8 tablet on a desk is not acceptable? Aside from the $150 price difference for the Samsung Series 5 hybrid (and that includes 64GB storage and full Office 2013), I don't understand the bias and the discrepancy.

The last time I checked, I had to zoom in and out on my Note 10.1 to read some of the things, and I don't expect that to be any different on a Windows 8 tablet. Same goes for any office "apps" out there. I understand all the concerns about the usability of a full Office suite on a tablet, and I mentioned some of them in my post as well. However, what's the alternative if you don't want to take your laptop with you? I would take the full Office over any other alternative out there regardless of how big their icons/buttons are! Moreover, if you have a pen input, the experience will be a lot better, and you get the opportunity to use the fantastic component of the MS Office, OneNote, to its full extent! Think of it as S-Notes on steroids.

As mentioned in a previous post (and in another thread by myself), the most intriguing part of this setup will be the PowerPoint for myself and many others. Not so much for creating presentations/lectures, but giving them. No need to carry my laptop for that purpose, use the S-pen for on-screen annotations, embedded video and audio, and many more. I have no plans for using it for Excel or Access, and anyone who thinks that they'll be able to do hardcore work involving these applications will be disappointed, just like anyone who buys a Note 10.1 to replace their Wacom tablet to create "serious" work.

The X-86 based Windows 8 tablets are not designed to sell huge numbers (it won't even come close to any Android model out there at the end of the day). The RT version -if priced competitively- will aim at that, but it's a double-edged sword, because the manufacturers who make the Windows 8 RT tablets also make Android-based ones. If they are competing at the same price for the same prospective buyer and not getting someone switching from an iPad, the end result will not make any difference for them. That's probably the decision Asus made when they priced their Windows 8 RT tablet at $599 to separate it from the Transformer line. This is also the reason MS has their own Surface tablet, since OEMs have a difficult decision to make by manufacturing both Android and Windows tablets and still trying to profit from both.

I'm perfectly happy with my Note 10.1, but I'll be test driving a Samsung Series 5 hybrid when it comes out for the reasons outlined above.

PS: I wish I could remember the name of the product that was deemed a huge failure because it was too small for a tablet and too big for a phone. What was that one again? Just can't remember, because it disappeared completely, just as expected.
