[G Tablet General] dbrown2:
I looking to buy a tablet and from everything I have read and tested at Office Depot (viewing angles) the G tab seems fine to me. I am sure it will be faster after I root and load new ROM.

But with all of the new tabs coming (xoom and so on) at this point should I just wait. I know the xoom seems very high to me (800.00) not sure I want to pay that much. I know I don't want to buy another tab for 2 years or so. So maybe the xoom would solve that issue.

Thoughts?

[G Tablet General] 999ping:
If you are willing to root the 'g' tablet and install one of the community developed ROMs, I say go for it. The 'g' tablet was bleeding edge when it came out, is still at the head of the pack and will remain a strong platform for another year and a half to two years.

The price is right and unless you always have to be right at the bleeding edge, you will not be disappointed with a 'g' over the time frame you are looking at (and perhaps a little beyond).

Wait for Xoom to Come Out and Then Buy GTablet

Given how active the developers are, I'm betting that within a couple of weeks of the release of Xoom there will be a XoomLite Rom here for the Gtablet. So I'd wait a couple of weeks until the Xoom comes out. Take a look at it in a store and if it is really $800, unless there is something in the Xoom hardware that you can't live without, buy the Gtablet. Then put the ROM of your choice on your Gtablet (I use TNTLite) and keep checking back for what I expect will be a version of Xoom for our Gtablets.
[G Tablet General] rushless:
If you are a tinkerer- get the Gtablet now. Seems all of the devices have quirks coming out, but one common thing is some form of dual core chipset. Quirks are there in one combo or other:

1. Overpriced

2. Proprietary connectors

3. No USB Host

4. No USB

5. Did I say overpriced yet?

Example is the Xoom. Costs $800. My Gtablet and 64gb iPod 4 cost $86 less than that.

My next tab will be the iPad "2". I love the app ecosystem and the game & app quality is AMAZING. I have my Gtablet and Incredible for Android fun and for Flash & internet function. Game emulators too.

BTW, my next phone will be either the Thunderbolt, Bionic or something similar on Verizon. No iPhone and the Xperia Play will likely have proprietary connectors, no microsd (Sony proprietary) and be locked down, so no dice for me.

iTunes may suck butt since a forced interface, but a lot of apps rock hard! Real hard.

Please forgive the slight tangent of my post.
[G Tablet General] cscotty:
If you're still unsure, then your best bet is to wait. You may even want to wait for the new 10.1 inch samsung tablet. I believe it will cost more than the Xoom but its another option. Here are some specs for that device:

[G Tablet General] notsob2002:
I just bought one yesterday from office depot after looking at the tabs in general for awhile and

Buying a archos 7 first. I got rid of that because it wasn't what I thought. I think the g tab is the coolest

toy I have ever had. If you want just a giant cell phone without the phone then wait for the Xoom.
[G Tablet General] shadowhawk2020:
The new Elocity A10 is coming out, but the 4gb is more money than the 16gb Gtablet. For the extra money you get a (supposedly) better screen and backlit buttons. But, since it hasn't been shipped out yet you have no idea about the quirks involved.

The Notion Adam looks cool, people that have it seem to like it but who knows how long it will take to get your hands on one. I would wait and watch since it is a new company.

The Archos 101 has it's pluses like a ton of codecs, but it has bugs and also supposedly has a bad screen. The price is nice though.

The Xoom is $800 and requires a month of Verizon service. It is a great looking tablet, but if I were going to spend that much I could get a good computer with money left over.

You can wait forever for more tablets tablets to come out. When the iPad was announced I kept hearing over and over that a better, cheaper Android tablet was on the way. Here we are, nearly a year out and there is nothing that competes.

Were I think the G tab excels is price point. Especially if you can get the $279 price. It has a great following on this site, a good set of hardware and once it is rooted it flies.
[G Tablet General] doctorisin:
Buy the gtablet...better yet buy two for the cost of one xoom! We'll get honeycomb too.
[G Tablet General] japhule:
If you're willing to wait, also consider toshiba's tablet. http://www.thetoshibatablet.com/

I like that it uses a full SD Card slot for cheaper/larger storage options (>32gb) and has a user replaceable battery.
[G Tablet General] yelrx8:
vpad10s ?

I've seen a lot of comparisons between the Gtablet and other tabs, but what does everyone about the vpad10s?

From the specs and all, it looks like a dual boot Gtab, which has its own appeals.
[G Tablet General] tekrhino:
Dual boot would be great if the device would at least come with Android 2.2 but instead only having 1.6 makes it deal breaker for me.
[G Tablet General] Blackbird1100:
And then there's the Touchpad, the HP/Palm WebOS tablet that's due out this summer:

palm.com/us/products/pads/touchpad/index.html
[G Tablet General] Judo Jeff:
Was in the same boat...

I was torn between waiting and getting the G...ended up with the G-tablet and no regrets once I figured out how to encode high def video so it would play.

Wth TNTLite installed, this thing really hums, and frankly, I was expecting a seriously bad screen, and while it's not a 90 degree viewing angle, it looks fantastic when you're looking right at it (and frankly, if I'm using it, I'm looking at it).

Not to mention that at the price they're going for (and I had shipping and taxes to get to Canada), it is still soooo much cheaper than any of the alternatives with same specs (The Elocity A10 for around the same price only has 4GB onboard).

Hope that helps...
[G Tablet General] extremefire:
You can always wait for something better, but for us it was a matter that it seemed like a great deal for the price. I had the FCs with the stock TnT apps but after installing the vegan rom everything is great.

Would of loved to have gotten a Xoom, but considering we got 2 Tegra2 based 10' tabs for the same price, and they do everything that we need I am satisfied.
[G Tablet General] dbrown2:
Thanks everyone for your posts.

I have ordered a GTab from Amazon (should be here tomorrow.. you have to love prime). I have not ordered a keyboard yet nor a sd card. But have a 6gb card that should work for now.

If all goes well then I will keep it. I will try the xoom when it comes out, but for the money and features of the Gtab and for the use I need (really just notes in meetings and browsing the web) I think I am good.

Another question: I want to use either a USB keyboard or a RF keyboard/Track ball) what ROM do you suggest?

And if I wanted to make a backup of the current ROM before I upgrade what do you suggest? Or should I just use one of the manufacturer ROMs listed in the dev forum?

Again thank you for your help.
[G Tablet General] Ironsl8:
Up until last week, I too, was torn between waiting for the Xoom, or 'settling' with a lesser tab like the Galaxy Tab.

I picked up a Viewsonic G Tablet at Sears for $399, rooting it 30 minutes after unwrapping it, I've no regrets. My reasoning was as follows:

1 - Wanted it to be Android-based, so no Ipad.

2 - Galaxy Tab at 7", a little too small.

3 - Tegra2 based, should be Honeycomb-ready, no need for a rear camera.

4 - Xoom, even if Wifi-only version is released, I doubt it would beat the GTab at price.

This should last me until maybe the next gen of Android tablets arrive next year.

Currently running Vegan 5.1.1 ROM, with full market, all the apps I could want. This is so much fun!
[G Tablet General] Mantara:
Really was an easy choice for me. Price plus fun of rooting and flashing roms while I wait for honeycomb. The gtab rules and my friends that get to play with mine can't put it down. I can't put it down ;-)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] abhi0n0nakul:
hey everyone.

see the screenshots...

due to demand of my rom and people liking it, i had to upload its files here..

though was not able to make the rom.

hope you like my work..

changes:

1. well everything from a to z in looks changes......

2. REBOOT OPTION IN POWER MENU

finally its done i have added reboot to power menu and its working great..

just trying also to add recovery and download options.. cheers

here is the rom: DOWNLOAD:

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=5K29G62U

the blue rom is uploaded.....

please follow instructions...

1. these are deodexed apps so use them in deodexed rom only, [though some apps can be used in non deodexed rom also , but try at your own risk..

well the max that can happen is that the phone wont go past samsung logo, but still be flashable]

2.the folder system app contains the files that needs to be transferred to system>app folder using root explorer.

3. the folder system framework contains files that needs to be transferred to system>framework folder using root explorer.

4. data local has the bootanimation of nexus one so transfer it to data>local folder by root explorer.

BUGS:

has one bug as far as i know

1.during making call to someone the phone app shows that it stopped working and prompts you to force close. just dont force close carry on with your call , you wont have any prob..

if it bothers you dont replace the original phone app..(i.e. dont use mine if it bothers you)

rest all is fine.

* i havent really tested the android policy.jar file in system framework folder.

for reboot option . after i just made a change as said by lestat....

so try it.. if it doesnt work, then remove the file and place the android policy.jar original file..

*i am not responsible if you brick your phone

it worked for me very well

the notification bar looks are not like the one in screenshot..

i dont hav ethe phone so cant take screenshot now...

Hey guys so I can't figure this one out....

If I boot Nookie Froyo from the SD card, ADB works perfectly. However if I flash Nookie Froyo to the internal memory using Clockwork it boots up just fine, it says USB Debugging is enabled, but ADB can't find my Nook.

I've tried everything I can think of......

I am wondering can I copy the partitions from my SD card to my eMMC? like do this?

#dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk1p1 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1

#dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk1p5 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5

#dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk1p6 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6

would this copy my boot,system,data partitions over? I'm not sure since the source is not an img file.... ideas? There is clearly "something" on my eMMC that seems to make the USB Debug Mode unhappy.....

In other forums people have said it's not possible due to big differences in Gingerbread.. But if you get the source from any MDPI (like Hero) form of CM7 and then port related stuff to the animation from framework to 2.2.1 framework, maybe it could be achieved?

Maybe not the answer u all wanted, but it works if you flash 3.4.2 uk(orange or whatever ^^) and set up your Blur Account at first without Pays Mod.

After the next Reboot all should be fine! ;)

if you use lower than 2.0 , update to lastest pays-rom ,and flash blur addons;)

To be honest Version 1.7 was the best of Pays Mods and I tried every single release.

Everything was stable and worked fine.

You just had to apply the protected market + cam patch.

If you want to use Motoblur account just set it up in 3.4.2 UK FW without a mod and install Pays Mod after that. Everything will work fine!
