[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irishrally:
It's an extra $300 for a better screen and no developer support if you want the wifi Xoom. You may want to consider the Asus Transformer, scheduled for release April 26th in the states for $399 (16gb version). It has some nice options like the IPS display, hdmi out and optional keyboard with built in battery, but again, no developer support. The developer support could be strong though for the Asus as it hits a nice price point. I'm happy with my recent

purchase of the gtab for $250 even after finding out about the Asus coming out. All the thanks goes to the xda developers.

My gtab cost less than half that of my Nexus S and it is far more stable.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aasoror:
Not sure why would any one wait when if it can be had for $280 shipped, and when people are selling theirs on here for $250 (including a case and keyboard).

When do you expect another tegra2 tablet (which is stable over-clockable to 1.4Ghz) to be sold anywhere near $300 ? If you can live with the TN screen you can't go wrong with the Gtab, unless you are willing to wait for at least 6 more months.

All the hype about the transformer is basically because its $399 tegra2 with an IPS screen.

All the hate for non-tablet based Andriod OS has nothing to do with the gtab its for the tablet market in general.

I would still say this is as good (if not better) than any other tablet being released in the near future (in cost per feature ratio).

If you can wait, then by all means do so, GTab might drop even further, transformer might drop another $50, better options will be available, but as pointed earlier can't this argument be had on any other product out there ?!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enigma0456:
wait???

I have2 g-tabs because Ilike to experiment. The price is so good and the support and options so varied here at xda ... why wait? There is alway a next best thing just over the horizon but at some point you have to jump in the water. I submit that the g-tab pool is very nice. Jump in!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Reggie777:
The Support...

I, too, have been using my gTab since it first came out. And through all the initial heartaches with the software, I am still lovin' my gTab.

The big things for me are :

1. The support it has that the newer tablets will not have. At least at the start, and even later on, if the manufacturer does not truly throw themselves behind their product. For better or worse, Viewsonic is still there with updates, however few and far between. And with the Tech support of sites like this one, you can truly do just about anything you want with it. Alas, it still will not make me my cup of Joe.

2. You don't have to be too tech savvy to experiment. You do have to read up a bit. And be sure you follow the directions. Take precautions, etc. But believe me, there are lots of threads in lots of forums to help the noobs out there.

So, sooner or later, there will be newer, shinier, faster models. But I still stand by the gTab. :cool:
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Halcyon_Epoch:
I have had my Gtab for about 2 months and it has been a great tool, even more so with VeganGinger RC1 now available. I had read of too many shortcomings of the Xoom for me to hold out for it, many of which still haven't been fixed. My personal feelings are: the Gtab is worth it, for now. In a year or so when the bugs are worked out of the upcoming models then it will be worth it to switch.

This... would be awesome. And put us one step closer to handheld computing over desktop computing. Well, at least when you're on the go you'll want to do more tablet computing than laptop computing.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] e.mote:
I agree that tabs should be more "social" devices. My SWAG is that as these mobile OS'es mature, that will be true. As of now, both Android & iOS are still in the toddler stage. Many more important features are missing, eg networking and peripheral connectivity. Most Android tabs don't even have USB host mode.

I disagree that this is a discussion. It's more of a shoulda-coulda. I think you're preaching to the choir, as I can't imagine anyone disagreeing with you. But the only one can do anything about it is Google. I think the solution is, as with most things, time.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] godsfilth:
when koush releases his recovery you could have multiple nandroids 1 for you 1 for your SO and then just backup and restore it would probably be less than 5 min between saving and swapping on my nexus S i imagine it should be about the same for the xoom its not ideal but its better than nothing
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FuzeAction:
This is obviously less than ideal, but it is indeed a solution. If the process could be streamlined with a single button push, I could see potential, but waiting any longer than the standard boot time would be cumbersome.

I have tried adding/removing Google accounts in the settings. Does anyone have experience with this in regards to App accessibility? If I sign in to my personal google account, download a previously purchased app from the market, the remove my google account, will I still have access to the app?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FuzeAction:
SOLUTION

After playing around with the idea, I think I may have found a streamlined solution that's easy and fast. First: Have a neutral account.

Using Bettercut, I created two shortcuts on the home screen. ADW allows access to system shortcuts as well, and I am sure there are a few others.

One shortcut I created, called Sign-In, takes you directly to the Add Account page, using the system setting shortcut. From here, simply click Google, then sign in. It says it will take up to 5 minutes to sync, but I have found it to take more like 5 seconds. Two clicks and signing in is all it takes. Open Gmail, you will find your newly added account, clicking in the upper right hand corner allows you to change accounts within the App. In the market, you can choose which account to use. Choosing my personal account allows me access to my previously purchased apps.

But how about when my session is done?

The second shortcut, called Sign-Out, takes you directly to the Accounts and Sync page within settings. Click on the account you wish to sign out of, then remove account. Two clicks. No more access to gmail, talk or any other personal info. And guess what? My previously purchased and installed apps still work!

This is by no means perfect, but I'll be honest, it's a lot easier than I thought it would be when I posed this question to the community.

Try it out, see how it works for you. Post questions in the thread.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] despich:
Just a note the Ipad version of Facebook allows multiple accounts. When you start it it lets you pick which account you want to use. Pretty sure your account can be password protected.

not that I like Ipad I am just saying I wish android had that so my wife could use the tablet to do her facebook. (Yes I realize the full facebook web page works great from Xoom browser and she can log in using that)

Also when I let me 4 year old have the tablet to play games I Wish I could at least password protect the market to keep him from buying games. He could go crazy one day and buy like $100 worth of games real quick.

I can understand why google hasn't implemented it yet. It complicates everything a lot having multiple users.

I know their are workaround android apps that let you password protect your launcher so some apps require a password to launch.

Ok, lets not turn the xoom forum into /b/ plox
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FuzeAction:
What is /b/?

rules 1 & 2
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sirchuk:
Here's the problem I see with this: Apps.

Your apps are tied to the google account you use to sync. If you purchase an app on account A, account B cannot use that app. It would mean purchasing multiple applications for the same device to allow users to switch back and forth.

This isn't a desktop, android wasn't meant for multiple users.

It would be more advantageous to limit logins in the respective application, like Facebook. Sign into the facebook app, and sign out of the facebook app when your done. When the next person opens the app, it asks for a login.

Having multiple google accounts to sync to just for a few social network apps or email doesn't seem worthwhile to me. I don't want to have to login and out every time I want to check my email or play a game.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FuzeAction:
I have actually found that even after I have removed my personal google account, the one with the purchased apps, I still have access to those purchased applications with the neutral account, even after a reboot.

Adding/Removing the Google accounts in the settings turns out to be a pretty painless and reliable solution, I'll report back if I encounter further issues.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sirchuk:
So whats stopping 10 people from pitching in on a "neutral" account to buy some games/apps, logging into their device, installing those apps, then logging into their personal account and using them?

That would be one hell of a security hole. Is it still considered piracy if X number of people technically share a Google account?

I currently like the fact that if I purchase an app on my phone, I can use it on my Xoom. A hole like this would certainly ruin that and we would start to see device limitations.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FuzeAction:
Considering how it easy it is to pirate and sideload Android apps, paid and free, allowing multiple device installation is of limited concern. I have purchased an App, I should be able to do with it what I please and use it on whatever device I choose.

If you want to talk about a security hole, allowing multiple device installation is not it. How about the fact that I can find cracked versions of almost every paid app simply by using a Google search(irony?).

There is nothing stopping multiple people from "sharing" a Google account and thus sharing apps, but at least the dev is getting paid. Why wouldn't they just side-load the apk? Given my specific situation, highlighted in detail in the OP, there is nothing nefarious afoot.

By signing in to my Google account to download purchased apps, I am simply checking in and letting Google know that I own this device as well. If you are looking for ways to manipulate the system, I assure you there are easier ways than what I am doing. Easier and illegal.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sirchuk:
That's the final point though. 10 people all pitching in $10 for $100 worth of apps to load onto their Android devices would be considered legal, since they're sharing them and not pirating them. They all paid for a portion of the applications.

I know, it's a small issue regardless. Still, unless it's an application made by Apple, I don't support pirating it.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] despich:
Wow I hit a nerve there evidently. Sorry I was not really trying to start a apple vs android discussion, there are plenty of those already on the site. Just pointing out that multiple users on a single tablet have evidently been thought about enough that some apps are starting to support it. Turns out I was wrong the facebook app that supports multiple users is not even a Apple made app so it's likely if/when that app comes to android (hell it may even be here already) it will support multiple facebook accounts.

I think it's likely that tablet apps that need multiple accounts to support multiple people (facebook/twitter/foresquare etc) may build in the ability to switch between accounts easily and workaround the issue of the base OS being designed for a single person.

p.s. Personally I don't own any apple anything but have multiple android devices, including the xoom so I'll let that indicate how I stand.

There is App Protector Pro - application that password protects launching of personal applications such as email, Market and any other. When you give the tab to somebody he cannot spend your money or look at your personal correspondence.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyberplague:
I have used the method above, and do use it on my nook color. The developer is also responsive and I am sure could give help to making it work with the xoom. I believe it would just be a matter of getting the partitions correct.

With this solution you open a terminal prompt on the tablet, type

sp user2

then it prompts for a password

creates an encrypted data partition, unmounts the current data partition and mounts the new encrypted one, then restarts the display. Think of it as a softboot.

Takes about 30 seconds, and when it comes up it is a completely different profile.

As it currently is coded, to get back to the default (boot) profile you just reboot. But I believe it could be changed to unmount and remount the main partition without having to do a hard reboot. But I haven't tried coding that yet.

I have 3 accounts on my nook, the default one it boots into (my daughters account), then two others one for my wife and one for me.

Works very well.

Hi all,

I recently developed an application to do symbolic computation (some thing like Mathematica) by cross-compiling and including existing open source software.

The problem now is that, the software is too big due to big libraries required for computations and displaying equations. I was wondering which one is best way to deal with it.

a) The app downloading libraries from internet

b) Each library will be having an installation apk which will extract its content to mobile

c) Make the app real fat (around 14MB)

The problem with option c is that the updates become quite big too.

So, which one is best option? a or b

BTW, if you are wondering what app I am talking about, you can search for "MathScript" in android market.

For now it used option a.
[Android Apps and Games] torsrex:
Use option a.
[Android Apps and Games] xriderx66:
Option a.

Others people might think its a virus or something if apk is like 14 MB

[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] f0xy:
I would hazard a guess that the problem your facing is flashing the kernel first then the rom....but then again thinking about it the kernel in rom package would just overwrite it.

Try wipe/erase and then just flash a Tom then wait for a boot. Flash it from recovery manually and don't use Tom manager
