Android Thread V4 - Got money? Samsung Galaxy S II. No money? ZTE Blade. - Hardware & Software

Holy fuck that's awesome. The dock really adds to the effect too.

Woooh my Thunder Bolt finally got updated this morning to 2.3.4

[QUOTE=redBadger;33023579]I never thought the Xoom was really anything special. It's more of a prototype than a full tablet.[/QUOTE] It's the Google Experience device, and if I may say so myself, after using a Transformer and my Xoom, the build quality of the Xoom is something great although it lacks IPS and all that fun stuff. On a side node, just got off the phone with my bank, they disabled my card because they thought my app purchases were fraudulent, I had to explain "See that $340 purchase way down in my history? Yeah, I bought an Android tablet." :v:

[QUOTE=Ezhik;33025020]There's "3D Wallpaper Effect" but it only allows one crappy picture.[/QUOTE] Why everytime iOS has some good apps no one makes one for android.

does ROM manager make it easy to dick around with roms or what, dayum is it possible to flash a new ROM and then install all the data I had before, including settings? nvm discovered titanium backup and nandroid

Nandroid won't help if it's a different ROM. That's why Overv got the bootloop.

i've decided just to flash a new kernel since I don't need any benefits of a new ROM unfortunately CWMR isn't in the correct SD card directory (/sdcard instead of /mnt/external1) edit: downgraded to 3.0.2.5 CWM and boom, flashed Rogue kernel onto my Xoom now OC'd to 1504MHz. slowness is a thing of the past

Is the Xoom good? I want a cheap tablet, and I heard the Xoom was good, I don't care how old it is.

It's got a really good build quality, comparable to the iPad. It's got some heft to it, but when you can overclock it to 1.504GHz as easily as I did, you'll love it.

I really wanted it when it first came out but I wasn't going to pay $800 for a tablet.

You can also get a refurbished 32GB online like I did but it turns out mine had one teensy stuck pixel. Not a big deal to me, but it's a gamble that may prove worth it.

[QUOTE=toaster468;33026651]It has censoring apps which you can remove, I think that is what you mean.[/QUOTE] I meant nobody knows how to root it yet, last I checked. Trust me, after using my 1GHz stock clock, I'll never go back. I needed the root to OC and install a custom kernel and now it's fast and zippy as fuck.

I really want to use espier launcher but it's sooo ugly because of it's lack of custom icon support and inability to hide apps [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3785889/IMAGE%20HOSTING/FP%202/shot_000007.png[/img] fuck, i would be able to live with the mediocre android icons if the launcher turned them into different colors like it shows on the market: [img]https://g1.gstatic.com/android/market/mobi.espier.launcher/ss-480-0-0[/img]

If you can't tell, what's the problem?

Still looking for a backup app to backup my SD card to a Windows PC over wifi...

[QUOTE=faze;33029277]Still looking for a backup app to backup my SD card to a Windows PC over wifi...[/QUOTE] You can get a few apps which have FTP. File Expert is one I think.

[QUOTE=PyroCF;33029319]You can get a few apps which have FTP. File Expert is one I think.[/QUOTE]Can it do scheduled tasks?

So my Desire HD has HTC Sense 3.0 with the ultra-smooth launcher patch that renders all widgets in 2D. Perfect 60 fps with no drops in framerate is delicious.

what are some good live wallpapers

Protocol, I am in no rush to root it, heck by the time I buy it they should probably have a root out for it already.
