Go to my HD CWM thread linked in my signature and make a CWM card. Then flash the unknown sources zip and that will allow you to install third party apps even if you are not rooted.

If you can find the app somewhere online with your browser, download it and then when downloaded click on it and it will ask you if you want to install it. Or go to 1mobile.com and download and install their app and it acts like Play Store and finds and installs apps for you.
[Nook HD, HD+ Themes and Apps] OddJack:
nook install

Thanks leapinar, but as you sure know, the problem is Nook HD, or at least, version 2.0.5, does not let you any apps outside BN. So i dont know how 1mobile.com will help.

I can find any app with my browser on Nook HD, it blocks installation.

The HD CWM I have not tried yet, but I will.
[Nook HD, HD+ Themes and Apps] leapinlar:
Yes, you have to use cwm and install the unknown sources zip like I told you earlier before 1mobile will work. You don't have to root, just the unknown sources.
[Nook HD, HD+ Themes and Apps] OddJack:
Thank you leapinar. I now have installed the apps that I wanted. (Donated)

Do you know if there is a way to add sound to Nook HD keyboard?
[Nook HD, HD+ Themes and Apps] lkmiller:
Install another keyboard.
[Nook HD, HD+ Themes and Apps] roustabout:
Alternately, you can use adb install <packagename.apk> to install an app without even using the unsigned apps tool.

If you do that, best to have a real launcher as your first sideloaded app install since finding sideloaded apps on the HD / HD+ is annoying without a good launcher.

Hello, I am running PACman ROM on a virgin mobile HTC One V.

I cant find any information on configuring the phone to work as a hot spot. When the computer connects it has limited connectivity. I am led to believe this is an IP issue that virgin mobile has put in place to kill the data connection when tethering.

Wondering if anyone knows how to bypass this or has a little more knowledge on the subject.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] ultramag69:
Do you want simplicity - Ipad, or the ability to customise how you want - Note 10.1.

It essentially comes down to what you want to use the tablet for, remember this is a forum for note 10.1 and opinions will be biased,

I like the fact that with the note I connect it to the PC and don't need to use any other apps to convert my movie files to a compatible format, the same with music, text and apps.... It has a screen thats fine for viewing and the fact it has phone capabilities (N8000) just takes the cake. Throw in the stylus and it just blitzes the competition.

I know someone will yell at me for this BUT, the ipad has a retina screen and IOS6... I hate the fact they locked down the system so hard. It has not had any major makeovers since it 1st came out. It is a simple system that I find limited and boring, hence I have a note 10.1....

Others will probably disagree and I hope it won't degrade into a Apple vs Samsung war but probably will like all these types of threads do.

I'm not saying the ipad is a useless piece of tech but from personal experience with one, I won't be buying it ever....
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Phoneguy589:
We have the IPad 3 and the Note n8000 and if you like to customize your device... the note wins hands down. Browsing is so much better, speakers that you can hear and No iTunes dependency :D I love the note and don't like using the iPad/iPhone and I was an Apple fan for years.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] nrfitchett4:
This right here. I like being able to download videos straight to the device. I hate iTunes otherwise my wife might have gotten the ipad over the note. And if you use mp4 format, you can multi view with video playing on half the screen
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] midas69:
I must again disagree with those that think the s-pen is the only thing that makes this worthwhile. I barely use it, but still love this tab. As I mentioned in another thread, I just spent 9 days in the hospital and this thing performed flawlessly. I used it constantly because they refused to let me sleep. Not a single lock up. Battery life was great. I was great having the extra memory and never having to worry about manually killing any apps. And the few times I did need the pen, it was there.

Yes, you can buy tablets with better resolution screens. But you can't buy one that performs better.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] stevessvt:
Im sorry, it looks like the price went up over the last couple days...

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
This pretty much sums it up. The Note's only weakness is its display. Not that it's a bad display; color reproduction, contrast, and brightness are all great. But 147 PPI is a bit behind the times and not the best for text. But given a choice between a higher PPI display or all the Note's features (well beyond inking) I'd choose the latter. I think a lot of folks feel the same way.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Bigjim1488:
For the price I think I'd wait until the next generation. Samsung has been dripping hints that they plan on coming out with some new stuff this year.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] midas69:
There will always be something better just around the corner. You can wait till the Note 10.1 version 2 comes out. But at that point version 3 will be just around the corner.

As of today, this is the best tablet available,IMO. I don't see a version 2 coming for at least another 4 months. More likely it will be more like 6 months. But it's all guess work at this point. If you need or want a tablet now, this is the one to go for.

sorry i did wrong posting place ...

---------- Post added at 01:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:57 PM ----------

comparing ipad 4 and note 10.1 ... I have both tablets ...

ipad 4 is better gaming than note 10.1 ... higher resolution and faster quad processor GPU .. and better app market ... more prety look apps ...

I play game wild blood on ipad and note 10.1 ... wild blood on ipad is smoother and more beautiful ...

for office productivity note 10.1 is much much better ... try send email with attachments via ipad example image file, pdf , excel and zip file ... it mad me mad ... :D you only can send picture and video from ipad email ... you can do work around ... open polaris office send excel ... open another app again to send email ...

another my frustation with ipad : ... try using bluetooth on skype ... it is another headache ...

so for me ipad is not for serious work ... note 10.1 really i can use it to do office work...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] jappy01:
yes. for me it is totally worth it.

it may vary from person to person, but what the note 10.1 offer was all that i needed in a tablet.

ipad is really good for games, but why play on a tablet, if i can play on my hdtv and ps3 and xbox.

like i always say, to each his own.

but again to answer the TS, it is totally worth it.

I agree in not caught up in screen resolution. I went to best buy the other day to see 1 in person & I was blown away. My Neice had a ipad 4 & I wasn't impressed at all lol. The colors on the 10.1 were incredible!! I can't wait to get mine!!

dos the note 10.1 have S voice? not sure if i spell that right
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] GETCASHMONEY:
Yes but that sucks compared to Google now.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Riki1kenobi:
Never understood the screen res issue. All this nonsense about HD and Retina is just the modern day equivalent of snakeoil. Once you go past a certain pixel density (330ppi iirc) the human eye can no longer distinguish differences especially on a small screen (19 or 22 inch and below).

The iPad mini proves just how much of a marketing gimmick retina was. By messing around with screen filters and saturations etc the mini screen is more than adequate for the majority of users. But sheeple will believe what their god fellows tell them and will follow blindly down the path of the unenlightened for they know no better.

Svoice is actually pretty good, compared to Now it lacks certain things, but as with all things, it depends on what you use it for. It is not a bad app by any stretch.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] xdapao3:
The ONLY thing the iPad has going for it is the display. It's a very good HD display and I LOVE the 4:3 aspect ratio. Everything else, both HW and SW wise, is garbage.

Hearing that iOS is simpler and easier to use makes me laugh.

True, the less you want/need/know how to personalize your system and the less of a poweruser you are the less you will hit against the countless "Apple handicaps" of their devices but you or those you will turn to for help in doing something WILL hit some of them sooner or later since they are everywhere and for the most basic things too like for example moving files around and managing them (no user manipulable file system, no sending files via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi direct, no SD card slots, no USB pen/HD access etc etc), and that's only ONE example...

Not to talk about the iPad being one of the heaviest tablets around or the basic version not having even a GPS receiver and being only a pretty useless non-expandable 16GB...

In short, my informed opinion is that ANY Apple HW and SW product should not even be an option, EVER. May they eat **** and die.

As for the Note 10.1, I couldn't be happier with it, with an HD display it would be simply perfect and without it is still the best one around today.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Riki1kenobi:
The screen on the Note 10.1 is HD since1280x800 IS technically a High Definition standard.

Dont be fooled by the rubbish spouted by tech sites.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Zeblade:
You know Snow I tried the new Ipad, mini and Asus 700 (all are great) and this Note 10.1. I really wanted the Asus or Nexus 10 but the extra SD slot really helps. I thought I would not like the note because lower resolution. Lol this note has more going for it then I ever new. The drawing, the multi screens, two speakers, silly things like some games use the vibration which is cool. But it is fast..the screens are snappy.

I just put on some stock rom GB (great brit I think). So it shows 4.1.2 and n8000 not n8013. But everything works great. I now have the paper artist and some learning Hub. The learning hub I cant use ..says wrong country.

I did want to try the Toshibas new SE but I find there is NO rooting it at all and I love to play around with these. Again this Note just comes with allot of great apps the I can use and do

So for me.. I am really happy. Just make sure what ever you buy you can return it.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] xdapao3:
Agreed. I have repeated myself several times that all this Retina BS is just a marketing gimmick...

High Definition (and by that I mean Full HD so 1920 x 1200 on our 16:10 screens) is very nice but it's far from being THE defining feature of a tablet when you already have a decent resolution like the 1280x800 we have on our Note which, let's not forget, until few years ago was a full size PC monitor's resolution!!

Higher than that (i.e. the latest iPads and the Nexus 10) falls flat in the "marketing gimmick" category since for very marginal improvements you get a big hit in weight/battery life/speed.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] rirawin:
I love mine, I have an ipad 4 for making music production and reading comics, the android equivalent still can't match comiczeal imo and the screen is just lovely.

However, I don't knock the 10.1 because its helped me tremendously in creating art, the fact I can take a snapshot or cut out stuff from a website then break it down to draw or draw over it is amazing. I prefer watching videos too but I love drawing on this device, I wish the art apps were a bit better because procreate is simply the best drawing app I used but its on ios and useless without a dedicated stylus. However, the benefits of the 10.1 I feel outweigh the ipad for me because I hardly play games but wanted something to draw, and learn with.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
I'm fine with the Note's display but I wish it were 1920x1200, primarily for clearer text. Anything above that is a waste and consumes more battery, memory bandwidth, and causes the vast majority of content to be upscaled. At beyond 15" the human eye can't resolve anything higher than 229 PPI any way. What's funny about all the ultra high definition displays is that there's little media content available for them with 720P being the typical streaming standard and bandwidth playing a big role in scaling and resolution. And a typical feature-length movie ripped at 1080P is a 10+GB file limiting how much content you can carry around with you. You'd get one movie on the HTC DNA and two on the N10. And moving 10GB files between devices is no picnic. The biggest benefit to a higher PPI is for text and computer generated graphics like the UI. When you compare the Note's display to higher PPI displays in those areas the differences are noticable.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] aletheus:
Until android specifically renders at 32bit color depth, an hd amoled display is moot. that's what the banding problem is, strangely, it seems I can get 32bit color in photoshop and sketchbook pro but not infinite painter.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] jtskier11:
Ive been looking all over for a deal and I certainly missed that one at Best Buy!!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Nfinity:
Hey Snow.

Based on your limited information, I would suggest that this tablet is for you, but only under one condition:

Note taking is really the only thing that sets this apart from the competition, and only in the Pen/Paper replication dept.. If by "Note-taking" you mean hand written notes, then this tablet is second to none. However, if you're going to just be typing, there are plenty of comparable, less expensive options.

I use my Note 10.1 daily for my engineering studies, and I require a pen/paper replication input for my note taking (The majority of my notes are calculations and equations, so keyboards are insufficient). The note not only meets my expectations, but exceeds them. It's fast, smart, and organized. The ability to use 2 apps at once is a great benefit as well, as I'll often refer to online formula sheets while working out my homework, or I'll have my book opened at the same time as my homework (S Note). It's simply above and beyond all other devices in this regard.

If you're needing a pen and paper replacement, look no further. Get this device and you won't regret it. However, if you simply need a microsoft word replacement and/or a media consumption device, you might want to look into some less expensive options available right now, or even some being shown right now at CES that may be released soon.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Riki1kenobi:
A little tip for those going to a store to view these against competitors. IF the screen on the Note looks less impressive than say the iPad which they usually are placed next to or near, do two things. Look above at the placement of the lighting and see IF it is directly over one of the tablets as opposed to the other. In the stores I've been into the iPad stall is always better lit (enclosed, lit from underneath etc), set away from the competition and designed to stand out/in a prominent position. This shows store bias and is something to be aware of as a buyer.

The second thing to do is adjust the screen manually. Go into the setting menu and display where you can change the screen mode. There are three settings, dynamic, normal and movie. A lot of stores will have it set to whatever setting, which under the normal store lighting, makes the screen look inferior. Change it to whatever setting works for you in store, but remember, the screen will look completely different at home.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Akatosh:
Completely agree with this, companies will undoubtedly pay retailers to display their devices to good effect.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Skizzy034:
Last I checked, at least 720p was considered HD.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] rirawin:
I Love the note 10.1 if I had to pick one which was more useful it be the 10.1 note as I use it everyday for drawing. The ipad is used for music production which is more a hobbyist dream of mine but the synths and apps are unreal.

Plus lets not kid ourselves, the difference between an ipad and 10.1 screen is night and day. Yes we can talk specifics but if you just compare the two next to each other the ipad will win hands down.

Again I still take the 10.1 if I was forced too.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] xdapao3:
Last I checked, I already clarified that point:
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Oscalioo:
So it is not too late to buy this one now?

I have a possibility to buy this one now, but since it has been out since last summer I feel its "kinda old"?

Is the Note 10.1 to old, any comments?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
It appeared at resellers in volume in September which makes it a little over three months old. The LTE version is just being rolled out now. The only high-end Android tablet that's newer is the Nexus 10. The s/w was just massively updated so there aren't any Android features it's missing (except multi-user which came out in 4.2). Samsung's next tablet is a 7" Note (N5100) running on 4.1.2 which I'm guessing will be identical to the 10.1 but smaller. Samsung typically runs nine month product cycles so I wouldn't expect a Note 10.1 II until summer or fall. Asus' only 10" tablet leak is for a low-end model that doesn't "transform" like their others have. I haven't seen any news from other Android tablet makers pointing to anything ground breaking on the horizon. So if you're looking for "new" it's between the N10 and Note 10.1.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] NadMaj:
the note 10.1 is not old.. yes it was released some 5 months ago but the device itself is still in it's early stages.. give it time and soon the

updates and developers will come and the s-pen features and apps will come and grow.. right now you'll see some reviews that it's just a so-so

tablet and some may say nexus 10 is much better but for me the note 10.1 right now is the most "complete" tabet that you'll see in the market..
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] nrfitchett4:
yeah, what sold me on it was a review I read that pointed out that most laptop displays are less than the note's (for ppi). I decided to play with one and it had every other box checked on the want list. It was an easy decision esp since nexus 10 was back orderd.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] nobleskill:
In a word; Yes.

I won't go on and on about how good this tablet really is because I know anything I can tell you has been covered by many others, both here and many other places, but think of this as me adding +1 to the note 10.1 side of things. It will also be a different reason for you that will make this device so very worth it and will make you so happy you didn't pick the iPad.

Unless you are the type that is so smitten with the Apple brand and rate "being seen to own one" as a feature that is a factor in any comparison between the 2it will be clear the Samsung Note 10.1 is that far ahead it won.'t be till the iPad Mini 4s is released that it will be able to compete.... Granted with Apple's record that will be in a few months so not far off but think of the $$ you will save skiping the Mini 2, 3, 3s and 4and just going direct the Note 10.1...

When i plug it on my N7100 do not appears nothing on the Screen, what should i do!?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] About20ninj45:
The mhl cables have to have the double charging and USB port in order for them to work I believe. The cable has to have an adapter that allows you to charge the phone and output media to a specific device. If the mirror option on the note 2 isn't readily available or plug and play, you may also need to install a ROM that has that feature built in.

The mirror option is how you display media from your phone to TV like pics and videos. Google T-Mobile mhl adapter and you will see what I'm talking about. It charges the phone and display the media your trying to play. A mhl cable by itself will not work. You need that adapter
