Am I missing something. What on earth makes the tablet by Samsung any better than one by motorola unless you are a homunculus incapable of holding a 1.6lb device but can hold a 1.3?

In all seriousness though, besides aestethics and brand preference I don't see the draw. I am seriously looking googling to try and find the big deal. Moto is a proven OEM in the Android world, and the XOOM is wide open and soon to be 4G capable. I see that the 10.1 is supposed to be HSPA 21+mbps so I am assuming T-Mo's fake 4G?

It seems it has a better rear camera, higher resolution video, optional capacities, and a proximity sensor(did they forget this isn't a phone) in the THINGS THE XOOM DON'T category.

It has a single instead of dual led flash, no new data tech, no HDMI, no barometer(hmmm someone tell me wtf a barometer is for) no external memory(which I will be using to put music on my tablet when I get a deal on a 32gb microsd, or so I tell myself), no ambient light sensor(I don't like autobrightness but I see the utility) in the THINGS THE XOOM DOES category.

Options are good but I don't get the point of this pointless thread :).
[Xoom General] Bauxite:
It won't have an SD slot or a normal micro USB port, have fun!
[Xoom General] codeman05:
probably hard to locate find the Galaxy Tab forum??
[Xoom General] Earthbrain:
I did not mention in my first post that I also bought the Xoom at Motorola for 25% off and I already have the UPS tracking number and it will be delivered this coming Monday. My bank statement has shown that the charge is complete.

So the price is not really the issue here.

I will not open my Xoom on Monday when I received it but will wait for March 22 to decide.

Biggest advantages of the Samsung tablet are the following:

1. Lighter weight

2. Most likely a better screen (brighter/better contrast). You look at the screen 100% of the time when you use a tablet (unless you just listen to music) so this is very important.

Big disadvantage

1. May not be rootable
[Xoom General] theahlenius:
Like I mentioned, you don't seem to understand the choice if those are your only disadvantages. I get that you're waiting, I just find your attitude funny.
[Xoom General] angermeans:
Your a better man than me. Me, personally I will never buy another samsung product. What shortcomings does the Xoom have that the 10.1 won't have? From what I have read the 10.1 is inferior spec wise to the Xoom althoigh they are very close.
[Xoom General] angermeans:
Thats exactly what I was thinking plus you left one out. Samsung will never update it they will just have another come out in four months and make you pay for that. I will never buy samsung ever. Horrible company that forces a ****ty skin on its users and takes away uogrades making promises and never coming through, they care for nothing more than your money and i will leave you.
[Xoom General] gogol:
Samsung updated their phones in Europe :)

I am also waiting that March 22, but mainly for the 8.9" version.

Hope it will have better screen and more.
[Xoom General] generic.imitation:
Lol@this thread... First there were Apple fanboys, then phandroids now people are arguing and defending different android tablets... Motoroloids? Phansungs? When will it end?!! Who cares? And let's be honest, since when did arguing on the internet ever change someones stance on an issue? Get over it.
[Xoom General] keitht:
If you load Weatherbug you will see the barometer actually being used. Not very interesting right now unless you are a weather addict like me.
[Xoom General] setite:
What part. I couldn't figure out where it is.

Thanks for that. I went into that post thinking about that point but I got sidetracked. It is fair to point out that Samsung has let all the initial Galaxy Tab owners twist in the wind with no word of whether they will ever see an update.
[Xoom General] keitht:
When you load Weatherbug you will see "My Device Stats" which shows the Barometer reading from your Xoom.

[LG Optimus 2x] FILLY86:
Such a cool Phone but why has it only 512 RAM? My next phone schould last for ~3 years and i doubt that 512MB ram will be enough :(

What are your opinions on this? Are 512MB enough today or should i look after another Phone with 1GB RAM??

On which Apps could 512 MB RAM have a negatively impact?

Greetz und Thanks
[LG Optimus 2x] eaglesuper:
My Question about the RAM Issue:

- Can Swapper2 be used ?

- Can u use Swapper2 on many Applications (does it make sense)?

Thanks for your help!
[LG Optimus 2x] Gilg@mesh:
512MB is enough..
[LG Optimus 2x] eaglesuper:
Yeah i think it too, that first it will be enough.

But i'm not buying a new Mobile Phone every year. And i don't believe if it it's enough in 1 or 2 years. So it would be great it swapper works or sth like this.

Nxt Question:

How much RAM do i effectively got. Cause i read that u have 512 MB minus 128 MB for the GPU minus 200 for the OS.

So there is perhaps 200 free for the apps?

Is this right ?
[LG Optimus 2x] DocRambone:
Ram in 2X:
[LG Optimus 2x] Riemen:
Root it, remove a few of the preinstalled apps or exchange them against some with lower memory usage or use a custom rom and you will even have more ram available. I think 512 MB will be enough...
[LG Optimus 2x] kingzero666:
You should also be able to lower the ram reserved for the gpu. It should be possible to free up to 100mb if you dont play many games otherwise up to 64mb.
[LG Optimus 2x] mccune:
According to some reviews it seems that the Optimus 2X reserves 128MB for the GPU. This would mean you only get a total of 512 - 128 = 384MB of RAM for Program Memory.

That's at least one thing HTC did well on their latest devices. Devices like the Incredible S and the Desire S ship with 768MB of RAM.

I think the RAM in the 2X is enough to work with the device but it sure ain't a lot.
[LG Optimus 2x] pesho00:
Bill Gaits Believed that 640K RAM will be enough few years ago;)

But Yes so far (i am using android for 2 years now) it proved - 512MB are enough!

And if there only 2-3 devices with bigger RAM - so developers will stick with 512 for a while.
[LG Optimus 2x] sam213:
my opinion is that 512 mb is good for this time. i have a galaxy s with a custom Rom and i have 339 mb of ram and the device.work fine.

i see that i will use approx 20 mb of extra ram and(galaxy vs LG) and also you have a dual core.processor that optimize some operation.

well... i think that for this moment and for approx 1 year 512mb of ram will be a good choose!
[LG Optimus 2x] planetj:
i just got the o2x yesterday. 1,5 gb og the 8gb are dedicated to android, so no worries, you can install all the apps you want :)
[LG Optimus 2x] djmcnz:
That's not a question... :rolleyes:
[LG Optimus 2x] larsn84:
Got a o2x and can confirm you got 381mb of free ram for apps... that makes 128mb dedicated for gpu. Got around 110 mb free at the moment, and I have a lot of Apps running. When I get custom rom, some of the ram will be cleared, when removing unnecessary apps. I got adw launcher running on top of stock ui
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] stressballs:
First of all this is not a complaint,only a query.why has the development of wp7 Rom slowed down,is it because the great devs are waiting for the big update to be released first?

And just to add my thanks for the fantastic work all devs do for us hd2 owners.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dazza9075:
there never has been any development bar the original release, im sure they are working on it but everything you have seen on here has been nothing but a few reg tweaks. There is only one known group that can release working ROMs everyone else just copies those, i doubt those guys will release a new ROM until nodo is out, its pointless doing silly updates

For the time being there will not be the variety of ROMS like we had on WM6.5 (there is no tools for one and no development branch releases) and because its very much locked down you wont get "home brewed" versions like in android.

besides, im more than happy with the original release, many of the so called bugs in other releases "appear" to be bugs created by the editing of the ROm in the first place.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] iconata:
ofcourse development slowed down.. to begin with there was no development at all.. all the devs were spaming roms that for me are all the same.. sure the one has the white htc bootscreen and the others dont.. but so what? the only thing that was new was one dude that put polish language in the menus.. and that's it.. the OS it pretty new and most of all locked down..
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] TheOnly1:
There is no real reason for new ROM's before the NoDo update. The 7008 update is actually a dummy to test the update process and contains nothing new.

The current DFT ROM runs as well as WP7 could possibly run on a HD2. All the known bugs are either OS related (affect also native WP7 devices) or are caused by the hardware (no camera button = no autofocus, no native HD2 battery driver etc.). There is not much that can be fixed atm so it's natural we don't see many ROM's.

and it works now

sorry if it sound like i dont know what i am talking about because i dont

but the android marketplace does not open in this rom

and what is the point in flashing a kernel? what is that ?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
yeah i know what you meant by SU file. it does work.. you just gotta flash the Google Apps. Download http://goo-inside.me/gapps/ and put it onto your SD card then boot into Clockwork Recovery and flash it... then you're good.

The reason why Gapps are separate in this ROM compared to every other ROM is because Google sent a C&D to CyanogenMod back in the days about distributing gapps.

I uploaded my own package of gapps located here: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?owlea6l8qcm8ze3

This includes the LATEST market version (2.3.3) which is a huge improvement over the one listed on the link above.

As far as kernels, just wikipedia what a kernel is. All ROMs include kernels, the CM7 includes stock kernel. Kernels allow further customization, I would highly recommend going with Netarchy's kernels. The 1.2.7 is the latest test build and 1.2.5a being the latest stable. Make sure you download the CM7 compatible version.

His kernel is located here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=936219 -- read the thread to see what it offers.

To install kernels, you do the same thing just flash the kernel from Clockwork. Everytime you flash a new ROM, you'll have to reflash the kernel since the ROMs come with kernels that will override your existing kernel.

If you use Netarchy, be sure to download "Voodoo Control" from the market to utilize Voodoo color & Voodoo sound. https://market.android.com/details?id=org.projectvoodoo.controlapp
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lorijuan1024:
i just did the same exact kernel you have in your sig and just got alot of force closed stuff and the link to your gapps did not let me install it said instalation aborted but i did install the one from the other page but this also gives me alot of forced closed stuff and no signal like the kernel
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
it should all i did was change vending.apk works fine for me but try the one from goo-inside.me instead

and kernels shouldnt FC. you need to do fix permissions -- you also need to download the kernel corresponding to your android version and CM7 kernel if you're doing that.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CB620:
flash clockwork mod andrestore back to your previous.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lorijuan1024:
yea i am using the same rom as you and the gapps work now but i want to do the kernel you where telling me but it gave me force close but i will try it again

CFS BUILDS:

Netarchy Nexus - 1.2.5-cfs-2.3.3

Netarchy Nexus - 1.2.5a-cfs-2.3.3 (CM7 2.3.3 Compatible) *fixes wifi issue*

which do i do i did the 1.2.5a last time
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
1.2.5a except im using the BFS version.. you can try 1.2.7 and see if that works.

it shouldnt FC though. did you try fixing permissions?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lorijuan1024:
What do you mean byfixing permissions what would I have to do
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lorijuan1024:
Everything is working great
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
clockwork recovery -> advanced -> fix permissions [or go into ROM manager and scroll to the bottom, fix permissions]

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Talllsas:
Hey guys,

I have got a brand new HTC Touch HD with WindowsMobil 6.1 and I saw this picture here:

How can I make my interface like this? I heard I have to use "Manila" but all cab Files I installes ("Manila 2.5 v3.0(beta)", "Manila 2.5 v2.9", etc.) didn't work.

Somebody told me I have to "cook" something (??).

Is here somewhere a step by step tutorial?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] teti77:
Yes it's possible to have that interface, but...

First of all You have to read a lot about flashing new ROM to your phone, because your picture shows newer system with new Manila (a.k.a. Sense 2.5)

Check this post for ROM section:

http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=453

and when You'll decide to change everything, choose ROM with Cookie's Home Tab (this is very powerful tool for changing home tab)

After that You won't recognize your new device :)

Hey, its official that motorola will still upgrade your xoom to the 4G LTE if you have unlocked and rooted.
