[Dell Venue] cdgoin:
I ask because I LOVE the DVP form factor.. and I have three HUGE issues with WP7.

Tethering.. I HAVE to have a phone that tethers. Keeping two lines (one DVP and one my Dash3G) is BS.

Storage.. Why should I keep a thumb drive around when I have a phone with 8-32GB of storage ?

Customizing some basic things. Like not having all my pictures in the picture hub, ALL my facebook contacts in my People hub.. If I have some videos or pictures of a personal nature I would like a way to hide them from being easily seen in my hub should I want to show some less personal pictures to friends, etc..

That said, I personally am not a fan of Android.. and with my time with HD7 I found that I really like WP7 the 99% of the time I am using if for a phone, or texting, etc..

Personally I am seeing a lot of what WM7 could have been in andriod when it comes to customizations and other features. Heck looke at HTC sense on 6.5.3 and HTC sense on the EVO 4G. They arent that much different, heck if WM6.5 had added more active widgets and such, to a PRODUCTION phone it may not have been given such a bad rep. Look at the 3VO and other cooked ROMS here. A LOT of them are better than iOS or any Andriod I have used, but a lot of those features were never added to a production phone.

I digress.. when it comes to andriod.. the new Netfront UI for andriod looks awesome. There are also a ton of apps that simply arent being done for WP7 yet. So.. Long story short... I like personalizing and customizing my phone. I may get over that with WP7.. I may not. Be great if I had an option to play with a Andriod ROM on my DVP, and then go back to WP7 and so forth. Even be cooler if I had the ability to dual boot. But I doubt highly with the way WP7 deals with the SD cards that would be possible.

In any case not trying to get into a WM6 vs Andriod vs WP7 which is better conversation.. they all have thier pluses and minuses. Just curious if anyone thinks it would be possible to put andriod on a DVP should the need arise.

Or even better.. anyone try putting a WM6.5.3 ROM on a WP7 yet? I havent checked..
[Dell Venue] tai4de2:
Just get an HD2 if you want WM 6.x.
[Dell Venue] cdgoin:
Would that be the one that fits in my hand perfectly.. and has a slide out portrait keyboard.. and a nice vibrant screen.. ? OR the fragile huge phone with no keyboard.

I guess I could get a new tilt2.. but it doesnt have a portait keyboard and a smaller darker screen.

The whole reason for this thread.. is the DVP is a UNIQUE form factor.. and one of the most beautiful phones I have ever owned. If they made it with WM6.5.3 it would be my first choice. But since they don't make it that way.. it would be awesome to have a Energy 6.5.3 Rom for the DVP :) Personally thats my favorite UI to date.
[Dell Venue] cdgoin:
Agreed.. they are both good in thier own way.

Im starting to like WP7.. its just so different.

As I mentioned, personally I like WM6.5.3 but know I am in the minority there..

I was praying and crossing my fingers the HTC Throphy (The mock up from last year and not the WP7 phone) that would come out before WP7 launched. As that looked to be my ideal phone.

I only started this thread because if the Venue and Venue Pro ar the same hardware, I wouldn't mind trying Android on my DVP (and mybe play witht he Netfront UI and other things) and possibly switching back to WP7.

Although as I mentioned.. I would gladly pay if someone could find a way to boot the Latest WM6.x Energy Rom onto my DVP.. I would be in heaven then.

[Dell Venue] MO3iusONE:
Id pay some good money to see android on the dell venue pro. I like windows phone 7 but the OS is still a bit young.. there's certain things I like better on android and no im not trying to cause a debate or argument.. im just sayin, if the dell venue comes out, how hard would it be to make that compatible with the dvp..I love my dvp by the way, especially the slide out keyboard
[Dell Venue] NeverSummer07:
It would be great if WP7 and Android can be run on Dell Venue and DVP.
[Dell Venue] cdgoin:
Anyone try yet? Or has anyone gotten the ROM off a Dell Venue?
[Dell Venue] MO3iusONE:
bump, I'd like to see this get done, and I'd pay some good money for it too!
[Dell Venue] cdgoin:
Bump... Just wondering if anyone has rooted the Venue and figured a way to install on the DVP yet..?

Closest 3D support for me is Chicago. Works though. KC was showing too. Had to turn my phone off and charge it couldnt look any where else.

Its definitely nice, 3d will only show on the strip here in vegas, but works fine. Definitely a step up in the right direction.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mmegalodon:
Ahh, sorry, didn't mean I had to turn my phone off / on to see 3D ... meant it's not supported everywhere / not every "major" city or whatever. Only looked at Chi and KC, before I had to turn my phone off to charge, is what I meant. You can see a list of 3D cities evidently from the help section.

Love the new Google Maps ... this **** is baller. :D

I cant see 3d maps, i used the 2 finger slide down, it tilts, but cant see the buildings
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] copper rs:
You have to zoom in more and the buildings will show up.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Noxious Ninja:
Dallas, TX has 3D buildings for downtown. They look pretty reasonable to me.

For people who can't see 3d buildings. Just type in empire state bulding and click search the zoom in.

btw, there's a zoom range in which you can see the buildings in 3d.. you have to get close enough.
[Galaxy Tab General] Breakthecycle2:
Hey guys,

quick question. I just picked up a G tab and used Z4 root app. My problem is, everytime I shut off the unit and power it on, for the next use, I lose root and app downloaded apps are gone. Is this a known issue or is there something specific I need to do?
[Galaxy Tab General] sedde:
Well maybe you did temporary root ?

I know for a certain fact that after JM6 the z4root wouldnt work well, you might wanna give a go at SuperOneClick.
[Galaxy Tab General] Breakthecycle2:
I try the Z4 multiple times and it was the permanent root option.

Right now it's 100% stock. Where can I get the Super One click?
[Galaxy Tab General] siafu:
I just re-booted my VZW Tab and it was rooted with Z4 and it seems to be permanent here. Not sure why yours would not be. Mine is completely stock with root.
[Galaxy Tab General] Breakthecycle2:
Yeah I don't get it at all. The Z4 root app disappear from my list and the new market I installed disappears as well. I have to reinstall both after every boot. Does anyone have any ideas what to do?
[Galaxy Tab General] sedde:
I would say you should try a hard reset and re-do it.

SuperOneClicker can be found here in xda.
[Galaxy Tab General] atoy74:
I can also vouch for Z4 permanent root on the Verizon Tab.
[Galaxy Tab General] Breakthecycle2:
I have a real problem I think. Before I go return it, does anyone have a system dump so I can try and reflash this tab and start fresh? I did a system wipe and now Im getting FC in masses. Nothing stays installed and it keeps asking me to log in after every boot as if I just bought it.
[Galaxy Tab General] overridex:
I had a similar problem - I couldn't remove anything I had installed to one point and couldn't install anything new. I ran 'dmesg | busybox grep error' in a terminal on it and had lots of errors on the device used for the /data partition. I had to bring it back to verizon and get it replaced. New tab had been fine since then.

Problem With Verizon Galaxy Tab

i am having the exact same issue as well. Seams as anyhting you do, it just goes back to the way it was after a reboot.
[Galaxy Tab General] Breakthecycle2:
So it seems to be a few of us. I guess I'm going back to best buy for a new one.
[Galaxy Tab General] Breakthecycle2:
I ended up returning mine. Best Buy said they've never seen anything like this and there was def something wrong...lol. Really BB?
[Galaxy Tab General] bluemonde:
Editing,,,
[Galaxy Tab General] Breakthecycle2:
Well, it worked flawlessly on my new tab so I guess it was just the defective one. Thanks guys.
[Galaxy Tab General] bluemonde:
OK. I rooted using Z4 I added Rom Manager and some other apps. I wanted to created a back and the tab when back to the original state, I unrooted and uninstall all the apps and rebooted the Gtab but now it bringing back to the with Rom manager FC.... any ideas?

I'm trying to do a hard reset by pressing vol up and power.... it goes into recovery and it stop about 20% I get the triangle imagen and reboots....

Can someone help me to do the right steps?

thanks
[Galaxy Tab General] teardropcity:
I had the issue where rebooting my tab caused everything to revert back to a previous state and giving me various force close messages. This was on a completely stock Verizon tab with no attempts at rooting. I did a full factory reset dozens of times, and every time it went back to a previous state. I posted on here about it a few weeks ago, and no one seemed familiar with the problem. I ended up returning the tab to Best Buy and exchanging it for a new one. No problems since then.
[Galaxy Tab General] Breakthecycle2:
Exact same string of problems here. I too returned mine and no issues since.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sublimewulf:
I just got the new OTA update, and I figured I would post some of the contained updated .APKs for public consumption. I will pull more and update later.

UPDATE

Kindle works fine, I got blockbuster to work, but It will take tweaking. I will post later.

Update

I removed all files. I don't know what is okay to post and what isn't. I have a flashable zip for Swype that works on ALL Evo roms 2.2+ and a flashable for blockbuster for sense based roms, and Sprint applications in apk form. The blockbuster app is integrated into sense framework, so this can't be modified as it is out of my range of know-how.
[EVO 4G Android Development] TMartin:
This is useless since most of this stuff requires other things besides the apk to work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] TheMagicalSock:
Thanks for the generosity, but it would probably be a good idea to remove the Swype apk. Swype is considered illegal to distribute on xda. Thanks for the other two. I haven't seen them posted yet.
[EVO 4G Android Development] #Winning#:
You should have posted this in the Themes/App forum first off.

And you might want to remove Swype from your list, it is still against the policies of the forums. Check the front page of XDA but I will quote for you.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sublimewulf:
This was included in the Licensed OEM rom. I don't see the issue. This isn't a boot-leg beta or anything like that.

[EVO 4G Android Development] #Winning#:
IF you read what I highlighted from the XDA front page you would see that they said it can only be included in ROMS!!!!!

See front page link HERE: http://www.xda-developers.com/android/swype-becomes-an-official-app-for-the-evo/
[EVO 4G Android Development] furrelkt:
But now that its included in the new updates, does that mean we can now post Swype???
[EVO 4G Android Development] Swede2008:
Is it still though? Since its included in the new update I would think its fair game though, long as its from sprint's releases. /shrug

+1 for the 4g scanning widget :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] #Winning#:
Read the link I posted, it has to be included in roms and cannot be posted by itself.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Swede2008:
Oops, hehe thanks :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] strung:
Does blockbuster work on e.g. CM6? I thought it had some DRM or library requirement to protect the video stream or something, i could be off base thou
[EVO 4G Android Development] chillenandy321:
+yes been looking for this also
[EVO 4G Android Development] ElAguila:
The blockbuster app needs some other files to install properly. The kindle app will install but it is an older version than the one available in the market. Does anybody know what else needs to be pulled to get the blockbuster app working?
[EVO 4G Android Development] sublimewulf:
Okay, so first of all, people don't need to be dicks. Please, and thank you. ALSO, the scanning widget is with Sense, so it will only work on Sense Framework. Yes, the blockbuster app needs libraries, but it does work. Just takes effort.

Thanks for the link.

1. Gestures work fine

2. I don't see any 3d landscape though :)

Are there any settings where you can activate 3D buildings and compass mode?

Update: Map stays stationary and only the blue arrow rotates.

Update 2: 3D buildings work only in some major cities around the world (i have found Chicago, Berlin untill now) and only if your zoom is at 100m/200ft and you must have all layers (terrain - sattelite) turn off.

I cant spin motion the map! I tried every means possible :(
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Louer Adun:
I think the map rotate is limited to roms that are designed for phones that support distinct multitouch. I am using the hd2one which is built for the nexus one which doesn't have distinct multitouch... does anyone know how we can trick Google maps into performing the rotate function without flashing a different rom?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] buzz killington:
You can use this file, copy it to your hd2one/root/system/etc/permissions then reboot. I copied it from the desire_hd2 build and it works.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Louer Adun:
Direct Link for those looking for the file buzz killington was talking about. Google Maps 5.0 now works as advertised! Hope this helps some others out there wanting to get the rotate gesture working.

[G Tablet General] Nospin:
I'm sure you guys have seen the video of Google Maps rocking out on the new Motorola Tegra 2 Tablet, so I was pretty excited to download the update today. But it appears that we are unable to do the 2 finger "swipe" (which changes pov down) and the "twist" (which rotates the view).

Maybe I just suck with the movements, but I was trying for five minutes and couldn't accomplish either. So what do you think? Hardware can't support it (a la the Nexus One), or software?
[G Tablet General] rcgabriel:
There is no doubt that multitouch is currently very broken on the G Tablet. Single touch is very sensitive, but as soon as you try to detect even 2 fingers simultaneously, the driver seems to have some major issues, glitching back and forth unless you lean all out on the screen. It's like it's normalizing the magnitude of the two signals improperly. And there seems to be no "true multitouch" capability with this sensor, because I've been unable to get it to sense three simultaneous touches at all. I've tried two of the Multitouch testing apps in Market, with the same results.

So definitely there's the need for updated touchscreen drivers to fix pinch and zoom, etc. , but I'm not clear whether or not the touch sensors are hardware-crippled like the Nexus One, or whether the improved drivers can fix this better than I suspect.

Edit: See my post here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=863741&page=8 I've managed to fix my terrible multitouch/pinch-to-zoom. It looks like it was a calibration issue, and now that I got the TSCalibration executable working properly, pinch-to-zoom works much better. However, the limitation on multitouch to two simultaneous touches seems to be baked into the drivers or the hardware and can't be fixed by calibration. So no "true multitouch" yet with the G Tablet.
[G Tablet General] Nospin:
Thanks for the excellent reply. Crossing my fingers it's just a driver issue that can be addressed. I've seen the devs here work wonders, so hopefully we can get this touch screen under control.
[G Tablet General] pmcnano:
Well just for you all know, I have a streak, an evo, my gf has incredible my brother has a droid. ALL OF THEM, excluding the evo, has just 2 finger recognition in the multitouch test's from market.

The evo has 5. Also, maps 5 works perfectly on my streak with just 2 finger recognition.

[G Tablet General] landykos:
New maps works fine on my nexus one. Haven't tried on my G tab yet.
[G Tablet General] HKChad:
The two finger down works on my gTab but I can't make the 2 finger rotate do anything, I can't make it do anything on my droid 1 either, nor do I see any 3D buildings, guess I just don't know where to look.
[G Tablet General] prscott1:
Do you mind sharing which ROM are you running on your N1? I can't get the two finger swipe to work on mine or on the gtab.

EDIT: scratch that - I have it working now on N1. :D
[G Tablet General] landykos:
I'm on CyanogenMod 6.1.1. I get the tilt to work have you been able to get the rotate to work??
[G Tablet General] gotwillk:
i know on the gtab if your two fingers are too close together, multitouch will crap out. try putting some distance between the two fingers or try one finger each hand.
[G Tablet General] prscott1:
I'm on miuimod and get tilt but no rotate.
[G Tablet General] myndwire:
the 3d stuff is just plain missing for our tabs... the new features screen didn't mention the same items as my evo did when i updated... something's different for this version... not cool. perhaps having to do with MDPI gapps?
[G Tablet General] Nospin:
I noticed that too. My G2 had a list of about 4 things. The gtab had 2?
