TNT 4.3.2 and not impressed

A coworker ordered his and received it yesterday. Im waiting for mine from woot.
He put tnt on it and we are both not impressed. We scanned through all the youtube vids and forums researching this tablet peior. He went with tnt 4.3.2. Hes sending it back and will just wait for an ipad 2 for more money. He was definitely not happy.
Now I'm a little skeptical about it but plan on putting Vegan on mine.
The screen in landscape was bearable but portrait just sucked.
Maybe he did something wrong but it just didn't feel as responsive as an ipad 1 or even the Xoom I messed at BB.
Any tips for when I get might mine tomorrow?

I would recommend trying several modded ROMs here - they all have their pros and cons. VEGAn is a big favorite, for example.
The screen in portrait is a problem, I agree. The screen angles are bad and in portrait the slightest tilt is a major difference - a modded ROM really can't fix that.

not sure of your expectations! !

If you researched this tablet and these forums you would know that the screen is not a "great" screen that fact has been well documented and any Rom you flash is not 100% perfect as they are a constant work in progress. Fact is the roms are lightyears ahead of the stock and are getting better all the time!! If you want the ability to explore and expand??? enjoy!!!! if you want a good performing closed end experience then head on over to Fruit of the loom! !!!

+1 for VEGAn. been using their latest with quite a few widgets on the main screen. snappy response, no noticeable lag. i should point out that i only use the main home screen in landscape mode. in fact, i rarely ever use the tablet in portrait.

Vegan is good but if you want an ipad buy an ipad. If you want a xoom buy a xoom. If you want a very versitile and cheep tablet with top of the line technology running the android platform then the gtablet is perfect. Do us a favor though, when you decide you don't want it sell it here. Many of us would jump at the chance to pick up a second Gtab for what you paid for it.

Yeah... I have a tip, keep an open mind. I myself like tnt lite, actually running 5.0(without problems thx roe!!!!!). Love the speed and the ability and freedom this tab has. Is it perfect? No, has it replaced my laptop for everything, no, but 90% of my casual usage is on my gtab, actually typing this on it right now. The usb host and expandability with an sdm are a big deal to me and no itunes....

Yep, if you don't want to tinker and just want something that "works" out of the box then iPad is a great choice.
A lot of people wanted a tablet for an inexpensive price and something to mess around with an learn from which the gTab excels at.
Hopefully you'll be able to return/resell the unit and find something a little more appropriate for what you expected to buy for $285.

If you want the best then don't pay $300 on WOOT. They don't put products on there because they are top of the line and the best.

You are all right and I agree.
I was looking for something inexpensive but with good hardware. I will keep an open mind about it.
I do favor. Portrait mode because I can type alot faster with the 2 thumbs than with a few fingers in landscape. Galaxy tab was perfect width for in portrait.
I mostly surf web, pay bills online. But was thinking of using that office suite from the gadam.
And if did decide to sell, I'd put it up here for what I paid. Everyone knows what the woot deal was.
It looks like launcher pro is the go to home screen. Any opinions on Go Lauancher as this is what I like on my Evo. Or that new Spb shell.
Thanks all, I will follow the guides here.

Let me clarify one thing. I think you made a good purchase. The Gtab is an exciting little dev device. Lots of flexibility to make user defined changes.

For the screen noting, but you could use it to knock-out an apple fanboy and steal his ipad... but beware, the ipad are tough too...

For keyboard is an using SwiftKey beta for tablets with the split setting for keyboard so you can use your thumbs in landscape

I just received a couple yesterday afternoon. Even with the bad viewing angles and alpha stock OS, I would buy a third.
I can only imagine (hopefully when, not if) an update is applied.
Congratulations viewsonic, my deepest appreciation xda dev/folks and thanks to woot.

I also wanted to return my G tablet ... I really didnt install anything though , I then said what the hell I like the customization of a G tab worst case scenario I can return it and buy a iPad2 ( I bought the G tab at tigerdirect store locally). I installed Vegan 5.1 / clockwork Mod and was sorta not impressed still . Not till I went to MetroPCS to pay my phone bill did I fall in love with the tablet the MetroPCS employee saw it and new abit more than I did he uploaded a few videos for me , showed me a few cool things it does also let me tagg on to the MetroPCS wifi and DL apps he registered my tab into the android market. I would say get someone abit more familiar with a tablet than a noobie ....
Current running
Clockwork Mod
Vegan 5.1.1
Launcher Pro
Vegan tron Theme ( super geeky )

My g tab looks pretty alright to me (screen issues wise). I did put a matte protector on it though.

I'm having problems adjusting to the screen too but I've only had mine for a few days. The rom that comes stock is complete trash though. I'm not sure why veteran owners are recommending keep it stock because that would totally deteriorate anyone's ability to be happy with this device. After installing vegan it's really a night and day difference and very functional device.
I only wish the screen wasn't so bad. It's especially difficult looking at the beautiful screen on my phone then struggling once I pick this thing up.

I was going to use it to read comics and books but trying out portrait mode, it's a no go. I might end up selling it here as well but I'll play with it for a week or so before deciding. I've tried Vegan, CM7 RC3, and the gAdam roms. They are definitely much better than stock but the screen is a real killer. Though I'll be honest, I did not buy it with high hopes anyway so all the cons weren't at all a surprise to me.

Hoping to get a Xoom shortly

Hi guys.
I am hopefully getting a Xoom within the next couple of weeks. From reading and watching the reviews of this device, I can't really find anything wrong with it, ok maybe a little weighty, but I haven't handled one yet, but cant see that being an issue. What are your views of the tablet, after all you guys already own one (or maybe more than one).
I am hoping to swap with someone that is on a well know auction site here in the U.K for my Galaxy S2. (well if everything goes ok that is) Will I be dissapointed? Who do you think is getting the better deal?
I play a couple of Tegra 2 games on my SGS2, and they look fantastic, how are they on the Xoom?
Any info, tip & tricks or just general what to look out for would be massively appreciated.
Thanks
Seg

Today the xoom is only 199.99 at verizonwireless.com and tagra games are great on the xoom

I think you'll enjoy it. There have been a number of threads recently on just the same subject. For instance, this one.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1361330
Just remember that due to the size of the screen, some of your games will seem faster on your phone.

True, it does weigh more than the iPad2, but I hardly ever use it without some sort of support. I got it at a much lower price than I would have paid for the iPad2 or Samsung Tabs and it was easy to root and flash a custom rom.

Thanks for the replies guys. To be honest the weight I dont see as being an issue, so I can live with that. I do like the idea of doing everything on the big screen. I do love my sgs2 but at this moment in time I am only using it for internet email and games. Cant take up the verizon offer as we dont have verizon here in UK, but thanks for the heads up.
Any plans for ICS coming to the Xoom.
Thanks again guys

If you know anyone who's flying from Dublin to the UK they can pick one up for you at Dixon's in Dublin airport for €289 (WiFi model).
ICS will be out for Xoom.

Just need to off load my sgs2 first, proving a bit tricky at the mo. I think the cheapest I saw over here is £329 new (wifi) doing around £250 - 270 on ebay used. Getting quite desperate now. I really must stop watching videos of them on youtube, just making myself sick now.

Lenovo IdeaPad A2109

I'm thinking about picking up one of these tablets.. any idea if they've been rooted? Any custom roms?
Thanks
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834310536

Well I have one (in my signature), and there is no official root I know of. However, this device is very similar to Asus transformer infinity and also runs pics, which as an almost universal root tool somewhere (don't remember where to find it). I am hoping someone would be willing to test this on the a2109, as theres many things I wish for root with. As for roms, cwm will need to be made for this and, again, infinity pad may help. But in all honesty, this is so fast that I would be too concerned for roms. Theming would be nice though

Just bought one at Best Buy for 259.00 this thing is smooth and fast I'm impressed. The screen is its only down fall. Head on viewing is not that bad. Definitely worth the 259.00

I totally agree the speed and smooth, I actually went in to get the ASUS TF300F, but when I held it was just too heavy. There are a few cons such as the camera and the lack of pretty much any accessories. I'd read on another forum that a guy got the Galaxy 8.9 case M-EDGE case for it, so I got the 14.99 one and it fits, though it is pretty tight, and doesn't close completely. It's close enough that I don't worry about anything scratching the screen. Also the way it folds does allow you to use the camera with ease and none of the buttons are covered. I've spent 4 hours searching for a case made specifically for the tablet and not even the MFG has one yet. They do have a picture of a smart cover, but it's nowhere on the site or anywhere else.
I think the people that make non OEM products have bought into the reviews slamming the tablet so much that they didn't decide to make anything for it, which is pretty sad. It's an awesome tablet for people on a budget and doesn't like the garden wall of the KF, lack of additional memory of both the KF and Nexus, and IMHO the specs are awesome. The salesperson did a bench mark test in store and was totally shocked at the rankings it ranked well above all the big name tablets, so at 259 I was definitely sold.
Speaking of the screen, I've viewed it at every angle that I use and there was no problem. I've previously owned the Toshiba Thrive 10.1 and this baby blows it out the water with ease. I kept my KF because trade in went down to 35.00 from 75.00 within a week.
Maybe with people giving positive feedback, more retailers will carry products for it.

I've been posting reviews to every site I can think of, except Amazon. They still haven't gotten their **** together regarding the A2109 specs. Probably a campaign of FUD to sell their own products. Newegg, though, has very few reviews so far...

For those of you not on the Lenovo forums yet, there is now a dev ROM for the A2109. Right now we're at the point of having root, cwm, and a ROM free of bloatware and deodexed -- ready for some theming. Not like I've done any of the work -- by "we" I mean thanks to mcl we now have it.

Well, I took the Lenovo A2109 back to Best Buy today and swapped it for the ASUS TF300T 16GB for a 90.00 difference. They have the same specs under the hood based on a few quick searches on the web. Honestly I hated to do it, because I rather liked the A2109, but the screen kept doing these weird flashes. At first I thought it was something I was doing, but I googled it and it's a known issue. I decided that with the screen already being the only bad thing about the tab and then the flashing I'd just go with something else. Luckily BB had the 16GB ASUS in stock, since it wasn't there the last few times I checked.
There seems to be more support and accessories for the ASUS tab as well. I've not had the chance to test it yet because apparently you have to let it charge a couple of hours before you can use it. (Thought I'd have to make another trip to BB)
I'll update on my blog when I get some play time with it. Just before I took the A2109 back I ran AnTuTu and Vellamo tests on it for S&G and it ranked pretty high, so I want to see if the ASUS tab does the same thing.
I can't post any urls here as a new member, but there is a link to my blog on my profile. Just case anyone is interested.

Spec wise the Nook tab can't touch the ASUS or Lenovo. The only place it would be beat the Lenovo is the screen. Right now the ASUS is running stock JB and still out performing the Lenovo, which I bought for the specs in spite of the screen.

Just picked one of these up tonight -- primarily for the family (non-techie wife & 2nd grade daughter). We've used it for a little over an hour and I'm already noticing random screen flashes. So far they're not anywhere near annoying enough to think about taking it back, but I'm keeping an eye on it. So far very, very pleased!

Excellent! I have noticed the screen glitches myself, and they don't seem to become more frequent or serious over time, so I think what you see is what you will get. I suppose you notice them more when you are concentrating on it. Ordinarily a defect like this would drive me crazy, but for the price I'll overlook it!

I just wanted to come back let you know that the ASUS TF300 is indeed awesome. Even though the two tablets share most of the same specs, the ASUS tab seems to just fly and I have to admit the screen alone was well worth the additional money.

Yeah? I'm jealous. Of course, at this point I'd be pre-ordering the Nexus 10 if I were willing to pay more than the $250 I shelled out for this guy. The one thing I would miss, tho, is the convenient size. I really like how easy it is to handle. The 10" on the Gtab were a little much for me. Rationalizations... But now I have an upgrade to look forward to -- after mcl & I get an overclocking kernel running

I've been thinking about the Nexus 7 inch since the 16 GB model dropped to 199 to replace my KF. I still think 7 inches is the sweet spot for a portable tablet, and I'd also love to have the "true" Android experience with out MFG tweaks, but that will be after the New Year and who knows what will be available then. They seem to be introducing the next big thing every week now.:laugh:

[Discussion] Still some life left in A2?

Hi everyone, just a general discussion I was pondering on, and I wanted your thoughts!
Do you think there's still software life in A2?
At least for me, I currently own a HTC Amaze 4G I got from my dad (he upgraded) that is pretty much new. I since have rooted, S-offed and unlocked it from T mobile to use on ATT. It's pretty much the same specs as A2, with a little better camera IMO, and CM10 is stable on it.
With Ubuntu phone coming out, something like that is very intriguing to me, as I've also watched every video known so far on it, and with Jim leaving to go check it out, I was wondering, if I should just sell my A2 and go for a Nexus or so, or even maybe sell both phones and just get a Nexus 4.
What are your thoughts on my situation, and what are your thoughts in general on this topic?
I'm not a developer by any means, but it does intrigue me, and perhaps it could be a hobby that I pick up in the future.
Thanks for any replies!

I would just get a nexus 4

Can anybody tell you what music to listen to or which car to buy? No. This is called an individual preference. ATRIX 2 is a phone not a toy. If it meets your needs stay with it, if not move on.

How many of you are keeping the N5?

Seems there's been a mass defection.. I still think it's a great phone. Running stock with fla2s kernel mine scores way higher (4600 antutu) than the G5.
I'll have mine in 6months.will you?

I'm keeping mine indefinitely. I've already upgraded to the 2014 Moto X and iPhone 6 but still use the N5 at work. I'm probably getting that Saygus V2 at which point the N5 will go in the museum. I always sell my old devices to help offset the cost of new ones, but the N5 is something special, so I'll likely never get rid of it.

Still enjoying mine. Some have sold their Nexus5, but others are still buying it!

No issues here with mine. The n6 is way too big for my liking.

Still using mine. I'm keeping an eye on the zen phone 2, saygus v2, and the m9... But so far it's in the air.

I'm happy.

Thanks guys. I hope that we can keep devs interested, like fla2,and his great work on kernels. In the stickies I can no longer find a full list of roms and kernels like there was.
Hope Lethargy is seeing to it-BTW well done with your new post! The more stay the more support from devs we will keep. IMO it's a classic design. Easy to repair, cheap, and still fast and powerful. If mine broke today I'd replace it with the same. As someone says the 6 is too big.

There's still a high level of development on the N4 forum so I am rather confident for the future.
