hanks alot for the animation,, works great,,, !!
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] dully79:
Thanks folks,

Yes sorry you flash it, i'll add that to OP.

Im going to slow down the animation slightly from 15fps to 7fps, it should run smoother and look more "old school"
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] jon08:
How to use this on X10? I try to modified it withBootAnimationPreview 1.5 but don't work. If i put the bootanimation.zip directly after download, it works but it's center in the screen on X10, so i would to modified the resolution to 480x854. When I did that with the program (BootAPreview 1.5) the screen of my phone is black :(

Can you help me please? Thanks.

Stuck in Boot and a robot girl saying "risk cooperation??" after rom install

I recently tried installing Darky's v6.0 gingerbread edition and though it was somewhat successful. I had a lot of force closes and what not so I thought I'd try reboot it and so I did. Now I get this the Samung Vibrant screen and the Galaxy S GT-I9000 switching back and forward from each other and having some Robot girl saying "Risk cooperation???"" Something like that. So I figure I would try to goto recovery mode and wipe everything but it won't even let me into recovery mode. Someone please help.:(
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr. Apocalypse:
1. i think Linda says "Restore Operation"

2. Did you try flashing a i9000 ROM to your Vibrant?? Never heard of Darky's v6.0 ROM

3. If you can get into download mode...then Odin back to stock is your only chance.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RichieMK4Rich:
Yes I actually did flash a i9000 rom to my vibrant. Also, how could I go by doing the "Odin" method? Link to thread or source?

Install those and try it again....you should..

1 - open ODIN on your pc

2 - connect USB to pc (not to the phone)

3 - power off phone

4 - go into download mode (hold both volume keys... then insert usb to the phone)

5 - ODIN should be connected, and you should be in download mode

6 - load pit file(the one that ends with 512...it works better)

7 - load tar file

8 - click start

I was thinking about getting a T-mobile tablet to replace my phone and netbook. I figured I would use the 3g enabled Skype app for calls and a small bluetooth keyboard as a computer replacement.

The biggest concern would be that it might be hard to bring the tablet everywhere with me, but with a European shoulder bag I probably could carry it with me everywhere just like I would with a phone right? :confused:

Anyone out there currently carrying the tablet with them everywhere and making skype calls to replace their phone?
[Galaxy Tab General] richgarcia07:
Personally i have noticed that i have not been using my phone as much now that i have the galaxy tab and i dont have a laptop. So my tab has been very useful for me. I hope this helps you.
[Galaxy Tab General] kandelai:
I am doing this same setup, although keeping my cell phone until the contract is up. I just forward my cell to my Skype number.

The only issue is that Skype does not ring when the GT goes into screen save mode, ie missed calls. Anyone have a solution for this?
[Galaxy Tab General] Suleeto:
I bought an iGo bluetooth keyboard a few years back when I was using a Sony VAIO UX small computer. Didn't work so well with the little UX, because the UX is clunky and bulky compared to the Galaxy Tab.

I dug out the iGo this week, and it turns out it works excellent with the Tab. It does exactly what you want -- it creates a semi-desktop environment, with a more comfortable viewing angle. Here, take a look:

That clip is removable, for those who have some kind of existing cradle for their tablet and don't need a stand. I use the clip, it works well in both orientations, and folds up with the rest of the keyboard when you stow it. Also comes with a nice case to zip it up in. There are a bunch of them available today on Ebay. Here it is with an iPad:

I would think that this paired with a small bluetooth mouse would give you the complete package.

Edit: The moderator should change the title to "Galaxy Tablet..." since this applies to all GT's, not just T-mobile devices.

Edit #2: here it is, with a BT mouse and keyboard together at the same time:

Why would you have to buy Skype while you could use GV+IPKall+SIPDroid for nil? There is a thread for that :)
[Galaxy Tab General] rn4emp:
does this use up your data plan when you use a gv number or skype? I want to get rid of my evo and use this as a phone without paying out the butt for data.
[Galaxy Tab General] ap3604:
Thank you for the information quattro :)

I tried the SIPDroid setup on my Nexus One but Skype has been the only one so far that seems to have good call quality over 3g for me :(

I figure for just $60 for the entire year ($30 for skype # and $30 for yearly unlimited calls) I can live with the $5 per month ;)

I guess the main question would be if anyone currently is doing this setup of carrying the tablet with them everywhere via European shoulder bag and making skype calls to replace their phone???
[Galaxy Tab General] BlueBagodah:
I'm planning on doing this as well, but I'm not going the Skype Route. I'm going to enable the Voice functionality on the Tab and use it like a phone, I'll just have to wear a spaceman Bluetooth Headset when I'm making calls.
[Galaxy Tab General] whoisariston:
I wish I could go that route. Until the US carriers allow calling from the Tab I'm stuck with two devices, the Tab and my Vibrant. I'm trying to use the Tab more often for texting and general internet so I am using my phone less, however it's a challenge trying to tell people to only text me on one number, and call me on a separate number.

I have no plans of flashing a Euro ROM just to get calls so I'm just going to stick it out and hope that the outcry from the general population will convince the carriers to unlock the calling functionality.
[Galaxy Tab General] codewisp:
After having my Spica stolen a few months ago, the tab is my only device (save for my work laptop).

I use a blue tooth headset for my calls and music, and I always bring along my charger. I don't think it's a crazy idea at all -- if it fits your purpose then why not. So far it has satisfied my needs for it and despite its size I've actually gotten used to typing on it (considering buying a keyboard, but not now..).

Although take note that I'm using the international version so I can actually make phone calls.
[Galaxy Tab General] drdax:
I've had my tab for a few weeks now as my Streak is being replaced

So far I've had no reason to use a mobile. Tab is being used for everything.

Take it everywhere, hardly use my laptop anymore.

Increase resolution and its even better. Used LCD density
[Galaxy Tab General] atomiq:
why are you replacing streak with the galaxy tab?

what where you missing on the streak?

how different is the streak from the g.tab as far as speed and smoothness?

i'm just curious :P
[Galaxy Tab General] peestandingup:
This is my problem too. I've asked this several times & never get an answer.

There has yo be a way to keep these voip apps "awake" where they will ring anytime. I've noticed the SIP apps do the same thing too.

Anyone know what to do??
[Galaxy Tab General] seven2099:
I currently use my Tab as my phone since my Galaxy S has failed twice on me.

Right now its being repaired so I simply flashed the EURO firmware, JMC and I'm set to go.

Take my calls on there, Skype is useless at this point anyways so just enable voice functionality and you get the incredible and increased performance of JMC/D on your Tab instead of the gimped stock firmware with no voice options.

If you wanna use the tab as your full replacement, use the right firmware and just use your mobile plan. Skype is unreliable on the tab.
[Galaxy Tab General] drdax:
The streak is good and as a phone, better than Tab. BUT overall the Tab is a better device. Feels faster too. Streak has a slightly lower CPU speed. Just under 1GHz

I would say tab is smoother too.

Keyboard on tab is better to use as its larger.

Can't fault larger screen especially as I'm running a better level density 190 instead of 240

Could go a lot lower but 190 is ok for now.
[Galaxy Tab General] StarLog:
Are you frigging kidding me, that Tab has the function to make cell calls, and the carriers in the USA are blocking it, GAWD, I hate the establishment.
[Galaxy Tab General] zombierockstar:
^^^

This
[Galaxy Tab General] drdax:
Sure it does. Voice and video calls.

I bought mine then put sim in from my other phone and that was it.

I'm on o2 carrier in UK. Pity my unlimited plan has ended and now only have 750MB per month, which I'm using up in just 2 weeks!! £5 for an extra 500MB

The Res of 1024x600 is equivalent to ipads 720

Now I've increased LCD Res it feels like 800. Tab is ideal when u increase the density
[Galaxy Tab General] peestandingup:
Yeah, but dont you have to sign up for a voice+data plan with your carrier?? That's all extra $$ and kinda defeats the purpose of using the Tab (with its cheap data-only plans) in the first place doesn't it??

The problem is all the voip & sip apps for Android suck donkey balls. If they were solid then we could all just do away with extra voice plans in the first place & use something like Google Voice + a sip app (or just use Skype).
[Galaxy Tab General] drdax:
I'd already got a mobile voice and data plan with my other phone (upgraded from iPhone to Streak) so just took sim and put it in tab. My tab is not locked to any carrier.

I can use my sim in streak or tab :)
[Galaxy Tab General] ignatiuscheese:
My 10 cents

In short response to the OP question: No.

GT is currently my only device for voice, SMS and voip along with everything else my HTC Touch Pro used to do. You can fit it in your pocket with an appropriate case if you want to. I have no problem sliding it into my jacket or trousers even with Samsung's own flip leather case installed. The only problem, however, is how to explain co-workers and fellow passengers that it's actually a phone. In fact, I don't even consider this a tablet device. If you're not afraid of getting laughed at, feel free to use GT as your primary device. I do, and never been happier.
[Galaxy Tab General] ap3604:
Exactly.

I don't want to pay ANYTHING more than $40/mo total for mobile communications (right now I use $30 even more plus 500 min and $10 web2go on T-mobile).

The only reason Im really thinking of using the Galaxy Tablet is because of T-mobiles $350 subsidized price and $34/mo 5gb data only option ($40 reg without 15% student discount) and using skype to make unlimited calls.

***Att has an even cheaper $25/mo for 2gb plan (wouldn't even look to flash for calling since that would cost an extra $40/mo for voice) but the unsubsidized price is too high and I'm not sure if 2gb is enough for a monthload of skype calls and using the tablet as my only internet device. Probably need 5gb ;)
[Galaxy Tab General] rotohammer:
My only device

Im running my Tab as my only device, phone, nav, remote desktop access etc. Im also using VOIP for all my calls. Im using Simple Mobile for Internet and text messaging, but not allowing anyone to use the voice number for inbound calls.

Normally I'm using wifi, so voip is great (SipDroid). But, the other day I held an 1/2 hour phone call over voip/3G traveling on the highway!

I wear my Tab on my belt:
[Galaxy Tab General] Technomancer:
I am using my Tab as my mobile phone. I have retired my Nexus One.

I carry it in my cargo pants or in my jacket pocket on my chest.

Roto, where have you got your belt case for Tab? Have you made it yourself?
[Galaxy Tab General] rotohammer:
Made it myself from a hard drive magnet on my belt clip, a steel washer glued to my Tab case, with a velcro strap to keep it put so it doesn't slide off.
[Galaxy Tab General] peestandingup:
How are you getting past the issue of keeping these VOIP/SIP apps "awake" where they will ring through anytime. I (and others) have noticed that if you don't use them for a while, they'll go to sleep & won't ring if someone calls you. Skype does this too (even though it shows its online in the menu bar).

Thats really the only thing keeping me from going full steam ahead with the Tab as a phone replacement.
[Galaxy Tab General] Lucky_Charms:
I'm using the tablet as my only device as well. Phone, ereader, remote desktop, gameboy, and nav. As far as the phone part is concerned I find that csipsimple works far better and is more reliable.

[Galaxy Tab General] ap3604:
Just wondering, how do you play the game emulators without a wiimote controller? Just the virtual buttons?

Since I can use a wiimote with my Nexus One to play emulators its a tough pill to swallow that a Galaxy Tab cannot use a wiimote as well since the 7 inch screen would be such a perfect gaming device if it did :(:mad::(

[Galaxy Tab General] heythorp:
Picked up my tab yesterday in an attempt to ditch the iphone.

There is definitely a learning curve. Yeah I dont mind the hacking especially with this strong comunity, but habits die hard. Its amazing how programed you become using the same device everyday.

I know in a few days my mind will know where to move my finger to to open up the application I want.

The screen size is great, but that too is a weird change. You become programed to looking at such a small screen and you get good at it. While driving it becomes very apparent that I need to refucos the eyes to deal with the big screen.

I am a very mobile person and do not sit in an office all day. I went out last night and was carrying the tablet around. It was a bit cumbersome.

I think if you are a person that goes from Home to car to office to home its great.

Not so sure this is going to mix with my active lifestyle or not. Will see today when I take the dog for a hike.

It definitely is not going to fit in my cycling jersey thats for sure.
[Galaxy Tab General] Lucky_Charms:
Yup. Unfortunately, im using the virtual on screen controls until they get the wiimotes to work with bluetooth 3.0. I'm trying to find the MSI BGP100 gamepad online but the only place that seems to sell them is dealxtreme and they are currently out of stock.

Does anyone know of where I can order this bluetooth gamepad?

[Galaxy Tab General] rotohammer:
In setings/wireless/wifi hit the menu button, then advanced, change the wifi sleep policy to "Never". I always get my calls.

Sometimes when I'm in SipDroid, theres a certain setting change that will reset this value back to sleep when display is off. It only happens when I change account settings, which is never now that I'm all set.
[Galaxy Tab General] wyenukie:
Been using tab as my main phone. So far has been ok with a bt headset. No regret.
[Galaxy Tab General] Lucky_Charms:
Are you able to use the mic on your bluetooth headset? If yes, are you using a special rom or the stock rom. I'm on stock T-mobile myself and can pair with my jawbone but the mic doesn't work.

[Galaxy Tab General] natious:
Im using it as a phone/gps/diary/netbook replacement and its great, but still using the standard headphones that came bundled with the tab for calls, currently looking for a BT headset tho, anyone know of one that has a little screen or somthing so that you can screen calls without pulling out the tab
[Galaxy Tab General] peestandingup:
Thanks, but I'm finding this a problem when I'm on the 3G network mostly. Seems that switching between wifi & 3G, starting up more apps, etc, makes all the voip/sip apps sorta go yo sleep after a while. I find the only way to keep them completely active is to either regularly use them or open up the apps (even though they're apparently already running in the background).

I'm beginning to think this is something Android itslef is doing. I think I read that the OS will do this after a while with all apps, even "background" apps. Anyone know??
[Galaxy Tab General] rotohammer:
I see. I may not be idle on 3G long enough to see the problem.

[Galaxy Tab General] philosoneko:
methinks you're quite right there- the android platform is supposedly more resource efficient in a sense whereby unused tasks are auto killed when the system demands more memory for the usage of other applications. Just read about that yesterday on android's webby :p
[Galaxy Tab General] heythorp:
Some more thoughts on this after a good 5 mile hike through some canyons.

Cool enough here in the bay area to use a mid weight coat this morning. So I grabbed the Tab and threw it in my inside pocket.

Definitely felt the weight, but that went away eventually. I had it out most of the time because I was testing to see when I would lose the signal. It did a better job of keeping a signal and getting it back than the Iphone (no surprise there).

Its definitely too big to be your back country emergency phone/gps.

Its definitely too big to walk around and carry from store to store to dinner to the theater.

However, this thing (now flashed) is truly amazing. The speak to text is actually pretty good ,I use it all the time. It even inserts a :) when you speak smiley face .

The Navagation is pretty good. Its not tom tom but its good enough and the screen size is great. Definitely worth getting the mount because the GPS works.

Web on ATT 3 G is better than any other device I have tried to date.

I can only imagine a Global or big traveler would absolutely love this. You don't need a laptop and a phone and an Ipad. This device really can replace all devices, but as a daily carry for an active person is a bit rough.

Better web and movie than a phone but smaller and phone capable than Ipad.

I think it would be great sitting at a baseball or football stadium or something of that nature.

If you are a women I think its a no brainer as this would definitely fit in a purse nicely.

I am more pro on this device now than I was 3 days ago. Next version is going to be a killer.

I am wondering if the Dell Streak would be a good compromise. I don't think so because the web and video experience on the Tab is so good at this size.
[Galaxy Tab General] Fixup:
5 or even 6 inch is no different than 4.3 or 3.7, still cannot see full pages. 7 is the minimum; also the maximum - any larger is no longer portable at all.
[Galaxy Tab General] rotohammer:
The newest version of Pocket Cloud Pro. Its quick and makes running a remote desktop actually feasible on a Tab. Well worth the money.
[Galaxy Tab General] heythorp:
Interesting, I am literally sitting here setting up VNC on my mac. Any thoughts/feedback vs using pocket cloud?
[Galaxy Tab General] rotohammer:
Pocket Cloud connects to either a RDP or VNC servers, and the user interface blows away all the other individual VNC or RDP clients. I've use VNC for probably 10 years (because it was FOSS) but RDP seems snappier and has more peripheral sharing features, so I've been using it where ever possible, especially with VIrtualBox VM's.
