Any other XDA developers get lucky enough to receive a Cr-48 from google? Typing one right now and I gotta say, it's nice.
funny thing is, I started to look through the system, and unsurprisingly, it's set up just like android!
bin
boot
build
dev
etc
home
lib
etc... etc.. etc... it's all there!
IF anyone has one and would like to jump on development with me, that'd be awesome. the main thing I want to do with this? dual boot android gingerbread.
it seems totally possible, Sundar Pichai even said the entire thing is unlocked for full control of development, and hell it's already running a modified android system of sorts, shouldn't be too hard... right? (famous last words)
Nice that you got such a Laptop.
I also want one, but I think they won't send me one cause I live in Germany
But I also got an Android and I've got a Debian Server...
and look
It has the same structure...
OH MY GOD It's called Linux
hehehe yes yes i know, I have 3 partitions myself with different linux distributions, just having a poke of fun.
Gah, lucky guys. I live in Canada, so I'm ineligible.
i was under the impression that that was the basic linux/unix folder structure
i'm pretty sure all mac and linux installs are set up like that
I got one,
I got one but Im certainly not a dev. I would be willing to give most things on it a try.
Went through the process of signing up. How long did it take you after you signed up to get it? Did they email you first? I might have been too late..signed up last week..i know they were limited in supply.

Signed up last week, got it Wednesday, no email. I was tracking it with the leaked tracking info posted Friday.
Managed to get one.
Using it now actually. When I get some time off on Monday I plan to throw Ubuntu on it, since there's tutorials of dual booting Chrome OS and Ubuntu already. If you wan't I'll stick around and help with what I can, I know my way around Linux rather decently, and am no stranger to Android either.
yeah i got mine yesterday. no email or anything the ups guy just showed up. i want to try some hacks to the OS. putting other OS's on it isnt that interesting to me since i can just do that with any other computer. i want to see what chrome can really do.
Got one today.
Actually, it was delivered 7 days ago to my office. I signed up the first day.
I was sick the whole week and this morning I emailed my colleague asking about any packages delivered to me. She told me that I have received a laptop so I went to my office to pick it up.
Can't believe the laptop was sitting in my mailbox untouched for 7 days.

Hmm.. thats weird. They should be sending e-mails letting people know.
used the cr-48 shipping tracker and theres one coming to my town, don't expect it to be mine though. :X
but 14 to my neighboring town. (sigh)
different zip code in my town, somehow i didn't notice
CR-48 Ubuntu
I got CR-48 second day, didn't expect it. Already installed Ubuntu on it, it fast even with Ubuntu, SSD speed is something like 300 MB/s read. But the interesting thing is I prefer Chrome OS to Ubuntu for daily use I just go into ubuntu for SPECIAL things.

how's flash working on it? Engadget commented that after trying to use flash, the device really bogged down.
im gonna apply now to but do you guys now if they send theese to sweden ? i guess they prefer sending them to US only... :/

Tomorrow is the 19th.
Should we be expecting the big update...
Any idea's on what it will include in addition to flash ?
I have a feeling it's going to come and go. An their will be no updates.
Most likely they are going to wait a few days and then release a state-
ment that they are working on a major update and as soon as it's done
they will push it out.
I would say, second or third week of Jan. of 2011 for the next patch
from Viewsonic.
Looks like a wait and see ...

This awesome community already did. I just need SEARS to be kind enough to offer up an outlet device that I don't have to fly to, to pick up.
I keep hoping that someone offers a scratched up floor model on eBay, for a deep discount. That would be the perfect dev device for me.

Where in PA are you? I can drive to Freehold and get that one and drive it to you if you are close to me.
I just purchased the one from Novi, MI, purchased one a week ago, and they sent it back, so I couldnt purchase it. So this time I called them right after I ordered it and made sure I get the product, and I'll tell them if its actually broken or not...

There's a Freehold one?? I'm near Trenton. (checks site)
EDIT: Nothing. I've been scanning it on and off all morning. I actually saw a Freehold one about 2 weeks back, but I wasn't looking for an extra one at the time. Too bad, because Freehold is an hour away so definitely do-able.
If there is ANY truth to the Gtablet being pulled by Viewsonic, the CS line will be shut off anytime, within days and they will not bother with the FW release. All of this stuff costs money.

I have never had wireless or FC problems. I guess that is why I was never motivated to install a custom ROM. I just installed all the mods on the original UI.
On a related note. Since this update (supposedly) contains Flash for the g-tablet, should I remove the Flash hack first?

This is a great little tablet, Viewsonic has to know they screwed up the software. The hardware doesn't seem to be the problem in my book.

It's ALWAYS been the stock fw that wasn't any good. When I first got mine, I had this crazy idea of staying stock, but the original fw would always Force Close in the news page, and then the update resulted in the weather app Force Closing on me, so I moved onto custom fw and settled on TnT lite.
I might even go back to trying stock fw if TnT ever get their act together...
Now, I understand from the 3316(IIRC) thread that flash is still not included, but their website is still claiming that flash support would be released yesterday. (Odd day, Sunday, to release a fw update...)

I did not recieve any kind of emails. They just delivered the package without any notification. Christmas came early this year!! .
It's actually a funny story. I am staying at my parent'h house right now, babysitting their dogs. My gf told me that a package came for me at our apartment when I was not really expecting one. I was really caught off guard.
I've read reports of people getting emailed that they've been chosen as a tester, but not emailed any shipping information. The laptop just appears on the doorstep.

i signed up for mine last mon or tues and received it that thursday (2-3 days later) with NO notification - it just arrived on my porch
I'm so disappointed...there were two coming to my zip code yesterday and today but neither one was for me. I have a relatively small town of non-tech savvy people too so I was hoping I would get one but it looks like both have already been delivered
btw, for anyone who wants to check if there are any coming towards your zip code (it won't tell you what address for privacy reasons) then you can check out this tracker somebody made for it:

Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
2 were delivered to my town so far.. I pray there's still hope for me since there's still a rumored 45k left.
this is a neat netbook. i love the 8-10 hour battery life but honestly, i can get more done efficiently on my Captivate running Assonance 5.0 w/ JL3 modem and it's much faster.
going to put the cr-48 in developer mode over the holidays and install a dual boot of ubuntu to make it a really efficient and useful machine.
I signed up several weeks ago, but no love yet. 2 have been delivered to my zip code but not to me. I did get some GTV love, I got my Revue yesterday so at least I have something to keep me busy between sacrificing chickens to the gods in hope of a CR-48.
***will trade my cr-48 for Revue***
When I get my CR-48 I'll let you know if it's a good trade
I've only had my Revue for a night and I am loving it so far. Once I can get this thing rooted to get around the network blocks it will kick some serious a$$.

Everything I've read so far indicates that you should allow it to update first. You should do some more reading though just to be sure of what you're doing. I'm going to leave mine stock for a while until I'm comfortable with it.

Woot, Woot!
This is a good thing. The G tablet went from a aftethought to maybe the most popular non ipad tablet in a matter of a week.
On a side note. my woot G tablet came with stock 2.2. Angry Birds and a few other apps . You could access the dashboard but it always started on stock 2.2 then I did the update and it went to the dashboard and angry birds ( and some of the other Apps ) was gone. Strange. Had to go to viewsonics website to put Angry Birds back on. ALmost like these were refurbs that were never updated. Mines working fine and I love it , just something I noticed.

I would recommend the 3588 OTA stock update first - it's a good solid baseline to have before modding.

RE: over capacity
XDA recently migrated to new servers powerful enough to make Bill Gates drool. Unfortunately, with all the new power comes immense tweaking to the SQL databases, and until our server admin finds the sweet spot, these may happen on occasion.
Rest assured that every error generates a notification, and he acts as quick as possible.

It will be only for a short time, I think. Maybe a week or two, then everybody finished moding their tab and worked out all the kinks and then will hardly bother to come back.
Just my thoughts
Notice how the site's all snappy now?
It's because the Wooters are off trying to get a Bag of Crap (I've given up hope...)
Oh why hello gtabbers I got mine today! Well its for my wife for her beat but I carefully cracked it open I can't wait 20 days

I think all the woot ones are older stock rather than being refurbs.
Woot is good about that sort of thing and will tell you up front if it is a refurbed device.

Please educate me!!! Who are wooters? Why have they brought xda-developers site to this unprecedented 'over-capacity?'
Definitely more laggy
The site's definitely more laggy over the last day or so....
To me, the sad part is that because ViewSonic has effectively taken a pass on gTab support, virtually the entire customer support load has landed on the XDA site and the generosity of its devs and user community.
If there were such a thing as corporate shame, ViewSonic should be feeling it.
Just wanted to know if any of the devs would be interested in porting the Ubuntu Touch over to our One XL's.

They make it seem pretty simple to get set up so long as you have CM10.1 working for your device, so hopefully that's the case. Ubuntu is installing right now, fingers crossed it doesn't have any issues along the way.

Yeah, it sounds like it's barely even able to work as a phone. We'll have to see how quickly they are working on it. Hopefully it'll be actually usable before too long.
Unfortunately, I'm STILL trying to pull the source. I mean, it's ridiculously slow. I'm under 100 KBps now. I was hoping to get something running today because I don't know that I'll have time to work on it over the weekend. We'll have to see.
Update: Yeah, some 5-6 hours later we're STILL downloading. Nothing for today. I'm going to try to get back to it tomorrow or Sunday if I have time. Hopefully by then it will have finished downloading, haha.

Well brother. Last turf from apple is about to get off... After Steve Dies apple was half dead. They now don't have the futuristic approach to fight opensource google'a android. Like samsung contribution to KNOX and with the coming of blackberry to android things going to change for good. Google will almost wipe the last left stuff on earth with android.

That will never completely happen. Open source is seen as a security threat to many companies. BB is dieing off and will soon be a software only company. Apple will always have a place due to their security as well as most people prefer something that just works. I cant say I blame them as I have thought about it myself and you would be amazed at how many Android devs use an Iphone as their daily device.

Customizing is great but gets old fast. I mean really how much time does one want to spend messing with their device. Take my device as an example. The home screen has not changed in over 8 months.
What about root? Someone is working on that?

That depends on what you do with your device. I was just like you about 10 years ago. Always flashing and changing things up. Now I set my device and leave it. I just want it to work and have more important things to do then be messing with a phone. Like living life and see what is really going on in the world.

All it takes is taking a look around and realizing that life is passing you by. Or you could look at it as the push of smartphones is to keep people preoccupied so they don't see what is happening around them. Kinda like the Patriot act that was voted In because people were scared only to later realize that they signed their privacy away lol.

Yeah it took my friends taking me out for the weekend. Here if you leave town you have no signal at all. No phone and no data for hundreds of miles. So it was kinda easy. I really didnt miss it.

File location
I stumbled across this thread during my search, but while I found the answer somewhere else maybe it could help the next lost soul on it's search for revelation:
On Android 7, the accounts.db are now located on
/data/system_de/0/accounts_de.db And
/data/system_ce/0/accounts_ce.db
You'll need to copy both of the files to your new device, it worked for the most accounts. The only account I had to reconfigure was my email exchange
