I kinda think now. that this device was over developed for an under developed os platform. think about it, this device has preemo hardware right yet googles apps are half a$$ working and some arent working at all. i think mabe google needs to step up their app development skills a lil then mabe all these new devices will play nice. its been said that apples apps are better quality... i hate apple lol im currently running a moto droid 1 over clocked to 1.2 on pete's bugless beast 2.2 froyo rom and let me add my phone works ten times faster then the galaxy tab this gtablet and the ipad?? how??? i havent a friggin clue. it dont make sense. android is awsome bottom line this device has potential will that potential be wasted?? i hope not for. what do u guys think.
This belongs in General unfortunately.
The true answer to why Google will not support this is that Honeycomb is their OS for tablets. The hardware manufacturers could not wait to release this hardware (to try to get an edge on the competition).
Currently, Google will not support and will not allow Android Market to go onto a device that does not fit certain criteria.
One of these is that the device MUST have a cellular radio.
Since most of these tablets do not, Google cannot and will not allow Android Market on it at this time.
Hope this answers your question.

it does thank you. i still think its a conspiracy lol.
Google doesn't support wifi only devices yet. I think with android 2.3 we will see a change with that, and that is when we will get this device to shine. It will take time for the hackers to work everything out. It took weeks/months for pete to get his rom to where it is today, and as great as he is, he had a lot of help from the huge DROID community. The community for this gtab is small but growing, and will get better with time. What isn't working fo you? I am on CM6 and got most everything working for google apps except ones where the hardware is limited like GPS/Phone. I have video conf, email, contacts, calender, gtalk, angry birds, flash, overclocking, n lots more etc...
what are you using to overclock?
i cant get set cpu to work properly

i havent purchased it yet. but i want one so bad ive looked at a few of the cheaper tabs and this one looks like its got the best quality for its buck. the galaxy tab is over priced and seems to be less snappy, well from the videos ive seen of it in action. im not a 100% TECH SAVOY but ive rooted my droid and updated its build prop. in order to root this device u used the update.zip format or do i need adb shell to do it.

i dont use setcpu bc depending on some of the kernels you use in(in my case im using slayhers 1.2 ghz kernel) has and interactive governor built into the kernel.. and im using the compcache.zip . i use terminal emulator to execute the scripts to enable compache. go to peter alfono's main site and u will find all the detailed help you need. good luck man..

I used Z4root and rooted my Gtablet with one click. I didn't need an update.zip or adb shell. So don't let the rooting hold you back because if someone like me (no programing or hacking expericence) can do it you surely can.

NEW RELEASE 3/28/2011
OK, time for a simultaneous release of AOSP Showcase and Mesmerize, with AOSP voodoo kernels and a set of GAPPS that jt1134 has built for us.
First of all lets give thanks to those that helped me out and made this happen. Phidelt82, thanks for testing and hosting the downloads. Elijahblake, thanks for testing and sticking to it even through your phone troubles that the inbetween releases and original (yet buggy) release called. Thanks dfgas for testing as well, and getting me important Mesmerize files. Baked_Tator, thanks for testing it, you provided great help. MrHanMan, thanks for testing, you provided great help as well. Thanks to all other testers who I can not remember their names at this moment (PM me and you'll get put in this list). Thanks jt1134 for all the work you put in on the fascinate rom lately, you've had me playing catch up, because though I strive, I can't be as fast as you. Thanks to lmartin92, for dedicating time, energy, and learning through the entire experience and making these builds happen (that's me)
Now to the order of business, announcing this release. You showcase users who have endured previous releases are now ready for a stable release and here it is. Yes some things are not working, but these are the things most folk can get along without.
What's working?
Bluetooth (though headsets, and keyboards may not work), file sending has been tested by many and is claimed to be working.
SMS is now working fully.
3g is working.
GPS is working.
Wifi is working.
Google contacts/gmail syncing is working (may require reboot or a bit of patience on your part).
In call sound volume setting is working thanks to jt1134.
It shows the proper company as to who is providing you services now.
Much more is probably working, but I can't identify them all nor make claims as of yet.
What isn't working?
Bluetooth headset.
MMS.
Video Camera.
Camera does not work at 5mp and it uses black and white previews.
Probably some other things, if you find them, let me know and I'll get to work fixing them.
Where can I get this?
The Showcase AOSP V0.9 rom release is here
mirror
and a torrent magnet link is magnet:?xt=urn:btih:7f1f77e7e9e9cd29cdf19b8eff9daa0ddaf8f9cf&dn=showcase-aosp-latest.zip&tr=http%3A%2F%2Fopenbittorent.com%2Fannounce.
The EC10 AOSP voodoo kernel is here.
The AOSP Gapps are here.
Use CWM Red to flash these in this order, kernel, rom, gapps. Anytime you flash the rom reflash gapps because the rom breaks gapps after reinstallation. Be sure to wipe data and cache before you reboot.
What happened to the kernel being inside of the rom? I've decided to seperate them out, if someone wants a non-voodoo kernel, they can make one and use it. It does have to be customized for AOSP. I just don't know yet how to do this, but it shouldn't be too hard.
In other words, I'm allowing folk to use different kernels than mine own if they care to put the work into it to make it happen.
WHATEVER YOU DO DO NOT *228 unless you wish to possibly lose your phone!
I would like to donate to the cause.
Glad to help you do that. I'm specifically looking to beef up my dev machine to a six core 16 GB ram beast. Of course, if anyone wants to participate in building, I'll actually donate some of my machine torwards a build server. These are the parts I would like to have, and I'm probably upgrading from 8GB 3core machine to a 12GB 3core machine next month (just modifying this sucker here).
I need 2 sets of this memory to make my dream happen. It's a Mushkin 2x4 GB ddr3 1333 (10666) MHZ). The cpu I would like to see is a six core AMD Phenom II x6 1100T. No I don't expect anyone to provide me with this, but this is what I'm going to upgrade to eventually and try to donate back to the community with a Samsung galaxy s i500 build server. By the way, when making donations I'm not the only one to consider. All those fine folk listed above deserve it just as much or more so than me. Now enough with my dreams.
Enjoy AOSP.
Changes in 0.9.1
Streaming issues kind of fixed (no hd youtube, but the rest seems to work).
New GAPPS.
New Kernel (EC10 from jt1134 which is a generic (works on all i500 devices to date) kernel)
GMAIL/contacts sync is fixed
For any questions, comments please join the IRC on #samsung-mesmerize on irc.freenode.net.
Fix for MY PROBLEM please READ FULLY!!!!
New Version is working GREAT!!!!! Thanks again Lmartin92 Thanks to JT1134 and thanks to everyone involved
Awwwwwwwwwww yeah!!!... Thanks to everyone involved!!!
Go go gadget Batesville. Thanks again for the goodies!
Now for some help on getting fixes
all i need fixed is sms and 3g.. I can work with that
Excellent job! I'm looking forward to seeing how this progresses.
Good work man, would you be so kind as to keep the title of this like the rest and add [ROM] and EB11?
I'm also interested in seeing some screenshots .
No problem, changed. That's good info right there, makes this as easily searchable as the rest. Thanks.

No prob, plus this should save you from answering some dumb questions . Glad to see the showcase getting some Dev love!
I'll add some sms debug to the framework tonight. Shouldn't be hard to fix.

Actually, if someone could send me a deodexed framework.jar from a stock build, I can decompile it find a fix that way instead of wasting time on debugging

This is from phidelt82's Pick-and-Pack .3, which is based on Stock Froyo, I think.
EDIT: *shakes fist at elijah*
Updated Post#2 with how i fixed MY *228 and possibly other NONO debacle...
Be sure you read my exact problems before attempting my fix though please!!!!
Yeah the problem may be the fact there's no Cellular South info even in the apns-conf file haha. And some of the build.prop information is for Verizon, and there's values in there for GSM ? Er?
I flashed the one for the fascinate on my mez. My baseband still read eb16 I had 3g data idk will flash back at lunch and see if texting works but calls and data do. I was in a roaming area I work in a uscc home area that will tell it lol. Are those quadrant scores real? I mean I know that on the vibrant the test was high because of h.264 not working correctly.

i have other android devices and love flashing them, just looking for some insight into how things work with my new xoom. some things i'm wondering off the top of my head:
are kernels particular to model (3g, lte, wifi), or will they work with them all? also, is the kernel tied up with the recovery partition or other such silly business as i've seen with epic 4g touch?
is there any one click root/recovery method available? i'd prefer to avoid installing the android sdk if possible.
what's the best way to do 1080p playback on my hdtv? does the xoom fit this purpose well, or any particular rom?
thanks in advance if anyone can help shed some light. i'm going to dive right in one way or another, but your help is appreciated.
I'm pleased to say that the OG Xoom (which I assume you have) is a very different beast from the Epic 4G Touch, in that the initial unlocking/flashing custom recovery and rooting is a bit more involved-- no one-click and yes you need the sdk--but once rooted, any recovery (tiamat/eos or rogue) works and the kernels/roms are just dependent on the version of android you're on. It's much harder to brick the Xoom and imho, it's much less complicated. As far as which is the most stable, well-developed rom for the Xoom, I would recommend the one in my sig for the wifi MZ604 (wingray). Also, check out the rooting guide in my sig as well.
Welcome to the Xoom...still the best overall tablet around!
wow! thanks for the info. your guide thread was great, thanks so much for that too. i'm all set, running pete's rom and it's truly a beast. now that i'm running it on two devices (xoom and ns4g) it's probably time i donate!
anyway thanks again

Hey guys I have never owned a tablet before, and finally picked up a tf101 with keyboard for a sweet price on CL.. and I want to give this tablet thing a real fair shot. That being said, I have tinkered around with android cellphones for a while, Im not a 100% noob but not as clever as most of you guys.
anyways I want to cut down on the amount of reading to do and boy there is a bunch , its the same song for every device/vehicle I buy, Purchase product, then spend the next couple months reading your brains off on a forum related to the product. (need to cut down on the reading... gf always on my case lol)
What are the most popular mods, accessories , settings (I will check into all the various kernals and Roms myself) apps. What are some life changing functions I can perform with the tf101 that would make me wish I got into tablets a lot sooner?
pretty much, I like the device and it looks real sleek and cool... just not sure what to do with it now , lol.
thanks in advance
Must have for me - Root - install custom rom - install kernel.
My PERI tool makes this a one-click from latest stock. I highly recommend you skip all the issues people have with stock and go straight to a great rom like ARHD, AOKP, or Megatron. :]
Other - counterstrike mobile, yes
This can be tough to answer because Android, unlike granny smith, has many things to read about and tinker with. I have had the tab for a while and tried numerous different roms and kernels. Each have slightly different responses and it depends on your tinkering desire.
I push my tab to the limits and try to do everything it wasn't originally designed for. Unfortunately....a lot of reading.
At any rate, my life changing functions were very quick access to RDP and VNC to home computers. I can also view my home security video cameras from the tab.
SSH to my phone is another plus for me.
I'm still contemplating attempting to install Linux on the tab as well.

I have it installed in an image loop and up and running fine on my B80 SBK2. It is slow and doesn't have any sound and I can't figure out what to do next in terms of getting a decent speed from it because there is pretty much no information out there other than getting it running. I know decent speed is possible because I had a WebTop phone.

haha, yeah I know what you mean... read read read, I should start hiring a forum assistant to scour message boards for me
anyways , I couldnt resist and already started reading and have rooted and installed rom... gonna try out some new kernals
but my main issue right now is ad-hoc.. Im trying to figure out if there is actually a real fix for it, but its all pretty confusing
I just made this thread regarding it

Tell me more on your tether issue. I tether the tf to my phone using built in tether function through the aopk rom. The tablet picks it up just fine. There is a lot of confusion between adhoc and infrastructure mode also but there are a lot of articles on the subject.
Define what you want to do and what way you want the data to flow would help out for a better answer I think.

hey tom, I think I have solved my problem, I applied the suplicant fix that was in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1438297
and it has been working since, I havnt used it too much yet but so far so good
was that what you were going to suggest to me?
My phone is a rooted tmobile vibrant running tmobile web , I dont have a native tether app on this rom and I didnt want to mess with my phone much either. (been over a year since I installed a rom or even wiped, its getting too old for me to want to invest time into it)

I have heard this option many times but for quite some time ago when I was using Wifi tether for root users on the phone I had to select galaxy nexus cdma and netd master so the tablet would recognize.
Now things are becoming different such as the aopk rom and I use them on both the tf and my samsung fascinate. I stopped using the separate tether app since the built in function did all the same things.
I personally suggest a rom like this to make sure your phone and tablet can all peform the same functions.
Glad it worked for you though.
Hello guys,
I would need a lil help. after some years of using my htc i will soon have another glorious machine XD
So i was thinking in converting my htc into a simple media player. Mostly to use kodi for video/music playback & use the stock fm radio when needed. Maybe here & there some internet in case of emergency. So i would love if someone would help me choose one of the builds around to do it. Right now i am running 4.4.4 (sorry it was downloaded here but dont remember much for now), but my aim was to use a light one ( cause right now it uses alot of battery since its mostly running from the sd card). I wanted to strip everything i would not need like the 3g options, gsm, etc etc.
Can some1 give a lil help on this? =)
