PROS

Fast, very fast. Got 2400+ on Quadrant, and it's not just a number, it feels it.

My Vibrant phone (also 1 GHz) takes 3-5 times longer to download and install an app. The A7 is amazing in this regard.

CONS

Feels heavier in the hand after using it several times.

No USB-to-computer connection... unbelievable...! adb over wifi requires the talents of a contorsionist...

In bed, I rest the tablet on my lap/stomach... yet they placed the AC connection at the bottom... another unbelievable decision...!

Poor battery life, well under 5 hours in use.

The screen resolution is only OK (but acceptable). Web pages with small type don't look good.

"Pinch to zoom" doesn't work for me (2 point multitouch). On Angry Birds or Dolphin HD, it's worked on Gtab and Archos.

Dev support is quite lukewarm, except for Dexter (who doesn't have a tablet though). The Gtab was much more active at this stage.

I'll keep using it, but right now, I'm inclined to return it. I would appreciate opposing opinions to mine.
[A7 General] eskaryo:
The device is only 1 pound, I carry this thing around with me at work all day and use it as a notepad/calendar/reminder/email/etc/etc/etc and find it is quite good at achieving what I am looking for out of this type of device.

You don't need ADB. Get WiFi keyboard and use a terminal emulator or QuickSSHd and you can do everything you need to. Not to mention ADB over wifi has been discussed in the 90+page a7 thread on this forum.

Why would you want anything with a cable in your hands while laying down? Plug it in when you're done.

I see 5+ hour usage out of this thing generally speaking. I haven't done anything special to extend battery life.

The screen res is acceptable, but you are right it isn't quite as high res as I would like. I don't feel like it is a game breaker.

Don't expect any multi-touch gestures to work until the right firmware is out. It is frustrating, especially when typing, but it is coming... either through elocity or XDA.

There is a flood of Android tablets currently, not to mention the 'sea of tablets' coming down the pipline that everyone keeps talking about at CES. Not every tablet is going to be the golden child of the dev community but talented people will contribute and the device will grow regardless of direct dev support. If you followed the first a7 thread you saw the input from a number of people who have no claims of being devs but got Market running nontheless.

I'm keeping mine, though I think I may be following up with elocity regarding touch behavior on my device - I think the touch is borked from time to time but we'll see.

[A7 General] argie:
Thank you for your comments and the last link. That's encouraging... but I have 23 days left to make a decision to keep it or return it. Hopefully we'll see some signs of life before then.
[A7 General] durango99:
Or instead of the wifi keyboard app, just plug in a usb keyboard or when i was working on it, i plugged in the dongle for my wireless keyboard and worked on it with terminal that way.
[A7 General] matthew2582:
Just got the a7 today and think it is a great device. Even with the original firmware - the device is blazing fast, more below, no WiFi issues and the pinch and zoom is adequate.

Build quality is very sturdy - some have commented on its being plasticky - but it's a rubberized, non-slip plastic. Perfectly respectable.

First off - we should say we are an Apple shop - iMacs, MacBook Airs, Minis and iPads - so when we say the a7 blows the iPad away on speed - we are not coming from an anti-Apple perspective. Quite the opposite. Example - loading cnn.com on the a7 fully rendered in about a half a second - the iPad 6 seconds.

1080p playback is super fast and very smooth.

Very impressed - a huge step up from the Archos 70s we tried.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mdpgc:
I wanted to know if it was possible to install themes on the NAND HTC HD2s and if there was a way can I get a good step-by-step on how-to.

Also, I noticed that there were a lot of themes on the site. I was wondering which themes I would if I have this build ([30 DEC][DFT]LEO "Stock Desire" NAND Android ROM) on my phone. I'm guessing that I would need a HTC Desire theme build) or would just about any do the trick.

Sorry for being such a noob...Thanks in advance
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ceo4eva:
I think what you would do is to look for the themes that come with an "APK".

When you download and install that APK to your phone you should see the theme in the theme selector.

[Milestone XT720 General] civicvx94:
Any help or guidance is greatly appreciated here.

I was helping my friend with his XT720, we first rooted it with Universal Androot, then, tried to partition the SD card with GParted. I thought I had it correct (the first partition was 6.5Gb and FAT32, the second was about 1000mb EXT2, and the third was 128mb linux-swap partition). We then attempted the optimizer script and had nothing but issues. Every time I tried the apps2sd it would give an error, something about the partition extension. So we tried slightly different partition layouts and everytime no luck. Apps2sd still failed every attempt, so we gave it one last try at this and we managed to get Busybox to install, cache-sd, optimized build.prop, (apps2sd still failed) but then when I went to install JIT for Froyo, the phone screen went black..we let is sit for a while and nothing. So we pulled the battery waited a few minutes and put it back in, it went to the all black screen with the Moto symbol.

Thats where we left off. I'm kinda shocked at how any of these steps could have lead to a bricked device and hoping someone can point me in the right direction as to how fix this.

Since I never installed rom manager (is it even compatible with the XT?) I cant just restore from nandroid. Is there a way to get this to factory restore or push a recovery image from adb? I heard RSD lite might be able to help me, but I'm not too familiar with it at all (yet).

Any help or guidance will be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.
[Milestone XT720 General] easye420:
flash back to stock rom using rsdlite. theres instructions somewhere on this forum
[Milestone XT720 General] 3rdstring:
Search for recovery mode. Something like you have to hold in the volume up & the camera mode button while powering up. Clear the data & cache (possibly a few times) & then reboot. If that doesn't work the RSD lite should.

HTH
[Milestone XT720 General] civicvx94:
Thanks for the help guys. So from what it sounds like, it is in fact not a brick and very fixable?

Ill be attempting this shortly.
[Milestone XT720 General] civicvx94:
Also, any advice on how how to partition the SD card for apps2sd?
[Milestone XT720 General] kousik:
If you have a Linux box around, it provides the best solution. I booted into my Linux partition, put my SD card into the reader slot, and fired ''gparted''. First I shrunk the existing fat32 partition which was occupying whole 8G to 7. So no data is lost. Then create another primary partition of size 1G (whatever left) to ext2 (and format it). No swap needed. Works like a charm, done in 5 minutes, no data backup/restore necessary (though advised).
[Milestone XT720 General] chandanbs:
If you are on a windows machine, you can use MiniTool Partition Manager Home Edition. All partitions have to made "Primary" and the fat32 one to be "Primary" and "Active".

The partitions made by this tool were recognised by both apps2sd and app2card(didn't have to repartition) apps...
[Milestone XT720 General] civicvx94:
Well I successfully restored the device with rsd :)

I don't have Linux, however I do Gparted live on a CD that I can boot from, so I got that part covered.

Ill attempt the different partition layout mentioned and see if I have better results.

Do I enable Apps2sd with the optimizer script again or is there another method? I'm just hesitant to use it again since I had to restore after last time..
[Milestone XT720 General] 3rdstring:
The script is what I used. I've seem some talk of an app called something like "app2card" (not on the market). There is an similar script on the driodformums.net website. It has a customized script for the CBW SBF. That's the one I ended up using, when I tried the version on this forum it kept errroring out at some point. They both do similar hacks (from my limited understanding) so I'm not sure what the problem was.
[Milestone XT720 General] kousik:
Just ensure that your partition matches the script's assumption. Like the script assumes /system is mounted from /dev/block/blahblah06, the ext2 partition of the SD card is /dev/block/mmcxxp02 ... if yours are different (mine was), edit install.sh accordingly before running it.
[Milestone XT720 General] ShawnV:
I'm having almost the same issue. I feel stupid. Tired after work. Blah!

I tried a similar app and transfered all my apps to the sd card. Partitions are fine.

For some reason my apps were not working though, and I tried some "fix" that started fixing working system apps on my internal memory. Now I only get it to boot the motorla logo.

I got into the repair options and cleared cache but same thing.

My wife has a nexus, I'm wondering if I can swap out the sd card or something. Checking out this thread. I have RSDLite. But I never flashed the rom or anything that I know of. Just rooted.

Time to read more!!!

:)
[Milestone XT720 General] ShawnV:
Could you please explain how you restored with RSD? I think something is still on my SDcard or I trashed an app / resource it was trying to fix (App2card)

Phone just stops at motorola logo even after clearing cache / doing reset (holding button combo)

Thank you!
[Milestone XT720 General] 3rdstring:
First you have to download & install the USB drivers from Motorola & the original SBF (needs to extracted) from HERE, then power your phone into bootloader mode (I think it was hoding in the volume down & shutter button while turning on the phone). Now when you run RSD you should see your phone in the device list browse to your SBF & start the process. It takes about 10 minutes but when your done your phone should be in a "fresh out of the box" condition. Also I should note that I couldn't get RSD to see my phone on my Win7 64 laptop but it worked fine on my XP machine.

Cool, my phone is seen.

Is there a way to save everything? I don't feel comfortable flashing with something from online.

I'm going to see if I can fix it. I tried to "repair/re-install" a system app / resource .apk

I'd like to try and fix it before I flash. I hope even though my phone is not booting past the logo, that I can "save" itin it's current state.

Thank you!!!
[Milestone XT720 General] AllGamer:
reboot it into download mode

hold in the volume up & the camera mode button while powering up

then the RSD will detect it

I had try to reboot n get inro the flash mode but my computer still not detec even i had up grade my driver... :((
[Milestone XT720 General] ShawnV:
What operating system are you using?
[Milestone XT720 General] radite:
Cbw sbf...
[Milestone XT720 General] 3rdstring:
I think he was asking what operating system is on your PC. I couldn't get my RSD tosee my phone on my Win7 64 laptop but had no problems on my XP 32 machine.
[Milestone XT720 General] kousik:
Same here; I have Win 7 64-bit and after repeated tries of all sorts couldn't get RSDlite reckon my milestone. So trying to find a Linux utility called "sbf_flash" ... anyone tried it? I don't know if it is as widely tested as RSDlite and whether it can brick my phone if something went wrong ...
[Milestone XT720 General] ShawnV:
I am using Win7 x64, I was able to flash. Just make sure you turn on the compatibility mode by right clicking on RSDlite. And run it as administrator. I did both.

Unfortunately for the time being I flashed with an older ROM than that of what was stock and now my SIM is not read at all.
[Milestone XT720 General] peshovec:
I have tried, very satisfied:) it works

it has some options (not mentioned in the --help), so google them. They are for specific use, for normal use (e.g. just flash) they are not needed
[Fascinate General] XSlevinn:
Okay, so I got my Fascinate yesterday, and rooted last night... It went perfectly. No hiccups other than driver installation for the phone... but I fixed it. So now I have Titanium Backup, Rom Manager.. For some reason the Market won't let me download Root Explorer or SetCPU or TiBu donate.. So that's on hold for now I guess.. But I read the steps in HOW TO:Root, Install Clockwork, Remove Bloatware, Integrate Google, Un-root, and more which has a link to Clockworkmod installation how to for windows / *nix but I can't find Odin anywhere? I've been looking and the link in that second post is broken for both Odin and Clockwork mod. Now, I believe I DID finally get Clockwork through ROM Manager... But still no Odin.. And when I select "back up current ROM" on ROM Manager it says:

Install from package...

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

Verifying update package...

E: failed to verify whole-file signature

E: signature verification failed

Installation aborted.

And then I have some blue text toward the top that says

Android system recovery <2e>

Samsung recovery utils

- for BML -

(the following is selectable)

reboot system now

apply sdcard:update.zip

wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache partition

I don't believe I have an update.zip on my sdcard..

Sooo, what gives: How do I backup with ROM Manager? I think I have already backed up my apps and stuff with Titanium Backup.. But I'm still curious as to what is going on.. And How do I get Odin? Is there like a central place I can find all of this info on Odin, flashing, recovery, kernels, etc? I think I've picked most of this stuff up fairly quickly.. But now I'm at a wall. How do I proceed?

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: D'oh I just noticed I posted this in the development section and not general. I apologize. If a mod could please move it?
[Fascinate General] ryanf:
Ok, I know where you are, you have to flash clockwork mod through odin. Then you have to select "flash clockworkmod recovery" in rom manager. To get odin, have you googled it? Im on my fascinate right now so I cant post it from my pc. Also, the wonderful people on IRC #samsung-fascinate could probably have it up in like 2sec. You'll be good to go once you odin and flash clockworkmod. Good luck
[Fascinate General] XSlevinn:
Thanks for the quick reply.. I have googled it, and most of the links I found were either broken, seemed outdated, or didn't seem to be the steps for the Fascinate, so I've been kind of scared to get them... I haven't noticed an official site for Odin. Is there one? Also, do I need Samsung Kies? What is it?
[Fascinate General] ryanf:
sorry it took so long, here you go follow this link http://dl.dropbox.com/u/14766095/Odin3 v1.3.exe . should get you what you need. you are right all of the download links are broken. I just downloaded this one so i know it works. good luck

After one hour i received my U20i with 1.6 (some sweden firmware not the UK) but it was fine with me as long as market running prooperly... now i automatically upgraded to 2.1 with no problem with running market.

I suggest to do so if possible in your case..
