[Nexus 10 General] johno86:
Google is notorious for dropping hardware and software that don't meet expected numbers.

As for people talking about hardware updates needed and how other tablets have the latest and greatest.

None of it really matters. The general consumer isn't going to notice a increase in performance from a nexus 10 to a figurative nexus 10v2.

It literally does not matter. What matters is the software that runs the tablet and the display it comes on. The end user will be more likely to upgrade their tablet for the best software implementation and UI over tech specs they don't understand. Samsung has got this down with all their spiffy software. They still have the best hardware but none of it is really mentioned because the target audience doesn't care. The tech specs are reserved for the geeks and power users.

From my perspective no amount of hardware updates will justify upgrading from the nexus 10 as it has one of the best display resolutions and the hardware to run it flawlessly. What is a bump up in ghz going to achieve for what I use my tablet for? Or an updated gpu for games I don't play?

I suppose it matters what you use your tablet for but my guess is the majority of users use it for Web browsing and watching videos in HD which the n10 does spectacularly. I don't game on mine but when I do I have no issues with it. I also find that the more complex a game is on a tablet, the less enjoyable it is. Games like angry birds is fun as it's intuitive of tablets. Anything FPS related and such is a pain. I have my extremely expensive desktop for those kinds of games.

So in conclusion my best theory is that Google did not meet their quota for the nexus 10, there isn't a high enough demand unlike their phone products, and unless they can find an actual reason to update their device, I. E. New android software that requires a certain hardware upgrades to use, they're going to be content with a device that companies are still competing with over a year later. The very fact that the nexus 10 still reigns at the top with new tablets being put into the market should say a lot about the thought that went into the n10.

If someone can explain in depth what another similar 10" tablet can do better than the nexus 10 because of hardware superiority I will retract my statement.

The only thing I can think of that would justify a new n10 is if it had native 3d vision support since it's an entertainment device. That's the only thing this device can't do that I can think of at the moment.

[Nexus 10 General] sfobrien:
Still running my N10 I got when they first came out. As far as OTA updates go it's anyboy's guess if/and/or when an update for KitKat will come for the device. KitKat runs great on this device, even in it's stock form. Throw a custom on it and it's even better. I have compared mine to a couple of friend's newer tabs running stock KitKat. Runs just as good if not better in some cases even with it's "OLD" specs.

Just my opinion and input.
[Nexus 10 General] Caelrie:
I'm still using my n10. I would love to upgrade, but there just isn't anything that makes me want to spend the money. The samsung tabs are laggy. The Asus tabs are buggy. The apple tabs are... apple.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilgoose:
Hello,

I apologize that this is my first post,but I recently flashed cm-11-20140224-NIGHTLY-ovation onto my Nook HD+ and noticed that some of my apps didn't transfer over. I tried downloading them and seeing if Google would restore them to how I had them before, but Google isn't loading my apps like they were.

I wanted to restore to my point and root my Nook HD+ so that I can use TitaniumBackup and back up the ones that aren't transferring over properly then restore them once I flash back to CM11. Is there a single method to this? I know when I hit the reboot option in CWM (flash_recovery_ovation_CWM_6.0.4.5b_internal) it asks me if I want to root and I was wondering if I should just go with that or if that risks a brick (though I haven't seen much bricking in this forum). I also took a look at leapinlar's post (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2062613) and saw that they have a root there that I can use.

Is one better than the other? Would I need to root again once I re-flash CM11? Is there an alternative which allows me to back up my things apps with their current data without rooting? I tried Helium but it didn't seem to work for me.

Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HiddenG:
CyanogenMod ROMs are already rooted. You do not need to root CyanogenMod. The rooting is only for the stock ROM I believe.

As for your backup, I'm not entirely sure. I've never attempted to use TitaniumBackup to restore after upgrading the Android version. Apologies.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] wimkaay:
Hello everybody,

I have a question for you. Should i trade my ipad air 32 gb for a note 10.1 2014?

The reason why i hink about this is because i love the s-pen. Also i love to draw and i think

The note is perfect for that. I have a note 2 als a phone, but i find the screen too small to draw.

What do you think. Keep my ipad air or trade for a galaxy note 10.1?

Thans for your adviice !!!!!!

Greets wim.:)

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] trimalchioinwestegg:
I have both and I must say that the iPad Air has better viewing angles, better battery life, and the speakers have more bass than the Note. But the sad fact is the iPad can't do as much. What I love about the Note is that I can run Firefox with adblock, I can download torrents and watch media from the device without having to use a computer, I can browse files, etc etc. My iPad is only used for Netflix and a few music apps that aren't available on Android. I'm thinking about selling it actually.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] wingdo:
The Note 10.1 comes with sketchpad pro. Perfect for some wonderful drawings.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Moose3:
Tough call. I own them both and use them pretty equally. The s-pen is very good, but it's still nothing like write on a piece of paper in terms of accuracy. The ipad generally preforms tasks faster. Browsing the web is smoother and more responsive for example. The one killer feature that I love on the samsung though is multi-window support. I constantly watch youtube videos and browse the web at the same time. I found the notes performance out of the box to be unacceptable. I'm running clean rom and it's pretty amazing how much of a difference it makes.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] cjranucci:
My wife won a 32GB iPad Air at a work event a couple of weeks ago. Sold it to buy this Note 10.1 I am typing this on.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] skyhigh73:
I have also both Ipad air & Note 10.1_2014.

Actually both of them are great and each one has its own taste, advantages and disadvantages.

Ipad overall performance is better than Note 10.1. There is almost no crashes, force close or shut down while note 10.1 has this problem.

However the note is unique with its S-Pen. Note 10.1 is also unique in writing notes, taking and sharing pics and images.

I think trading Ipad air with Note 10.1 is not a good idea, but think of having both......

:D:cool:
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] ozz007:
Get pen and paper, way better.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] rushless:
Agreed on all points. I like both devices, but must admit the Air with Android, micro sd and USB would be a better device due to the points noted. The Air is hindered by iOS and iTunes ;) Still like it a lot, but use both the Note and Air about equally.

The two dings though with the Note are the comparatively battery hungry display and the location of the USB. It is easy to forget about it with a case on and try to open it. One too many oops there means a broke USB port. I have done it twice already. The USB location IMO is pure dumb...... So is trying to open a case with it plugged in.

Added: Turning the power save mode on the display does help about 10% and I do not notice a quality hit. In fact, I thought it was a placebo until I compared battery life with it off. I do not turn the CPU throttle on though. Frankly, I thought that was the function of the lower powered core set.

iPad Air Thoughts

http://www.wacom.com/en/us/creative/intuos-creative-stylus

I'm not sure how accurate it is but it does palm rejection and pressure sensitivity. And it already has a lot of app support. People post pictures to the Sketchbook Pro Facebook page that were drawn with the iPad and I've seen some really really good stuff. And if you comment on their pictures most of them are more than happy to help fellow artists.

My personal bias says get a Note with an S Pen and never look back. But if I try to be objective about it, I bet you could get a great drawing experience with some research and accessories.

If you do get a Note, I would say get a soft screen protector. I love the extra resistance of a soft cover vs drawing on glass.

Hope that helps.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
Hullo all!

Many of us don't have shortcuts on the lockscreen, not even with security set to swipe or off. For some reason, Samsung removed this from most EU and AU firmware. Annoying, because they were very convenient.

I've found a workaround that doesn't require Root or a custom lockscreen. :victory: As it turns out, they only removed the menu setting, not the option itself.

What you'll need:

- Custom Launcher like Apex or Nova. (You can uninstall it again later if you prefer Touchwiz.)

- Security set to SWIPE. For security reasons, it simply doesn't show up otherwise. That's a feature, not a bug.

What to do:

I did this on Apex, but I imagine the others work much the same:

hit the Optionkey when you're at the Homescreen.

Add

Shortcuts

Activities

Settings

Shortcuts (.lockscreenshortcut.locscreenshortcutsettings)

Open the newly made shortcut

Toggle the 0 to 1.

Change the apps the same way as always, by dragging them to the bin below and hitting + for adding new ones.

There you go, they're back. :) :)

Tested on Stock, unrooted DBT 4.3 MK2/MJ7/MK2.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TPAKTOPUCTA:
Hi all,

I need your help with the following tablet 9" GT90H with Allview A23 CPU/ chipset and android 4.2. I want to backup the ROM, to perform few modifications and to upload the modified image to the tablet, but I am stuck on the first phase :( (cannot dump the rom).

I tried several ways to do it (actually that I found) to dump/ backup the stock ROM but I was stuck on all of them. First I tried using the clockwork way, but unfortunately my tablet is not supported (and I could not find supported MOD). Then I tried with romdump, but unfortunately I was stuck because the tablet does not have /proc/mnt file. Finally I found a way using the rkdump method but I had non recognize image error (although I am not sure if I found the correct partition to back up - /dev/block/by-name/recovery ). I have doubts if this is the correct partition, because I did a binary copy using dd to a file, which ended up with size around 32 MB (which I found too small for a recovery image).

So that is why I decided to seek help from more advance users (this is my first tablet, and first android experience) and I believe this forum is the right place for that.

My first request is could someone guide how to make a proper ROM backup, that I would be able to restore later?

In addition I want to ask is it possible, once I backed up the ROM, to modify for example the home page (because on the current ROM the home page for all browsers that I install is http://www.baidu.com)?

Moreover I would like to to install the ROM on external memory card and to run the tablet from there (because the internal memory of this table is too low - 8GB but for the system partition I have only 500 mb, which are all occupied with pre installed software). Is this something that I can achieve (android as far as I know is *unix system, and in theory this should be possible)?

Thank you in advance.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jean_pulbere:
For increase space you can use Terminal Emulator for market and must have root on tablet.

Open terminal , and run the commands :

pm get-install-location (this will show you where apps are installing in this moment)

Auto device install is 0 (the tablet chose auto where to install apps,usuale is chosing to internal memory,your 500mb )

internal memory is 1 (Tablet memory - your 500mb )

External memory is 2 this is where you want to instal apps - (your 8GB )

After run the comand and see the sistem is set to AUTO (0) you will run this :

pm set-install-location 2 - This will force apps to instal in your 8gb

to check if is ok , run again : pm-get-install-location

exit terminal emulator

Good luck ! Hope it help you

4.Smackdown VS Raw 2009 (around 1/4 of a frame every few seconds).

FPse (Playstation 1 emulator - quite an old version):

1.Final Fantasy VII (on an even older version of FPse, I've gotten 60 + FPS, and averages around 60 in field and world map, 30-40 in battles (a little more with frameskipping hacks), but sound is bad).

2.Final Fantasy VIII (haven't tried on the aforementioned version of FPse yet, will update the outcome).

3.Final Fantasy IX (same as above).

Do you know what your ARM is capable of? This is what I've squeezed out of mine.

Whenever a PS2 emulator arrives for Android, I'll try and see if I can get a single game to even load on the aforementioned device.
