I did not notice but in a short period of time, the mini rolling-update review I post at Androidforums about the Gtablet is heading towards 13,000 hits. Just imagine if the device shipped with TnT Lite 2.4. Wild.
Wonder if the update will stem the conjecture fueled by a Apple lovin' media site and a Staples sign?
Hi,
Can you post a link to that?
Thanks,
Jim
I said it in the other thread. The update they are going to push to the devices in the next couple of days is much better than anything has ever been on the tab. Users should really accept the device the way it is.

I don't know if this is useful at all, but I was visiting the top 10 linpack results and noticed what appears to be an FRF44 2.2 with release keys in the results.

Seems to me it is. I have read an article that said that jit and froyo would be twice as fast as eclaire
Wow. Just look at all those FROYO MFLOPP scores! =P
Omg, this week gonna be so fun.
A) Why is this in development?
B) This is news from several days ago.
I googled FRF44. I couldn't find it anywhere except for on the linpack website. That's news.
Secondly, it gives rom developer something to look for.
Sounds reasonable?
We could petition a mod to move this of course if it's not up to everyones posting standards. I hope that that this can be settled in a way that benefits everyone

dont be so hard a simple "hey this might be better off in Q&A mod please move" and yes we know this is old news. i heard about this oh last week i believe
Uncalled for...
Yea, he could say that... But it seems people here and everwhere online like to just be asshats about things rather than being polite... Clearly these people parents failed at raising polite individuals...
just follow androidfroyo on twitter and you'll get spammed whenever news comes out. theres like 2000000 websites already covering the linpack results
As it's FRF44 I would say that it's a Froyo build.
We only have another 24 hours before we find out... will be interesting how quickly the rom 'cooks' get to work on it
Wont be till Thurs that any info appears, thats when the "Android: TBA" sessions are.

Keynotes are tomorrow. Froyo will likely be announced and displayed then. The android TBA will be workshops based on what is announced.

We've posted a links page for our more inexperienced GTablet owners to get Flash and other goodies on their GTablet. Any other links or sites you'd suggest for those less technical than you?
http://www.viewsonic.com/gtablet/favorites.htm
Thanks!
How about a link to taobao for the docks since you guys havent brought out any actual acessories.............
Thanks for participating.....we do appreciate it. I would suggest that you not post sites like fring as their video chat software is not working with the gtab....this will lead to customer frustration with the device. There is not a functional video chat app that really works with this device yet.

Dang, that's harsh...he's trying here, lets not scare him away yet
I think a link to the root of the gtablet section would suffice.
We started a wiki that needs some work here: tegratab.com(managed by bekit)

Thanks for posting here! It's refreshing to see a company engage their user base and actually take suggestions. Having worked in engineering for the largest PC maker in the world for many years, I've seen first-hand how hard it is to make changes, so I applaud you for taking these steps.

I totally agree. I have to say that I've never really seen this before. You know what would be cool, if they Viewsonic gave XDA Developers all the rights to their G Tablet and then releas a G Tablet - XDA Edition. That would be SA-WEEEEET!!!

I would also add the Nook reader to your ebook section. The Nook reader for Android is very nice on this tab - it even has a "landscape mode" that makes it look like you're really reading a book with two pages!

Where did you find the Nook Reader ? B&Ns site keeps trying to direct me to Market.
Speaking of which...can you add some links to the Google Apps (gmail, maps, calendar) to those favorites?
Oh, and thanks VS!
They didn't put in my favorite Android reader app, FBReaderJ...

Including the XDA G-Tablet forum is already more than enough. Many thanks for that
Thank you for joining us here.

Thank You!!! I applaud your company for actually caring about the users experience after you have our money.
Nook
I agree that a Nook app link would be nice. B&N does not seem to have it posted except for on appslib and the market. The only other place I have seen it is here:

Thanks Viewsonic for listening!
It appears that appbrain has the Nook AP for free download.

I think you still need market access to use Appbrain.
I have been following this forum for the past couple of weeks trying to decide if I wanted to take a chance on this tablet. My only concern was VS dropping support. Now I believe VS is in for the long haul. I have been to Office Depot twice just to play with this thing. Now I going back to buy it.
Thanks Viewsonic.

Thanks for listening Viewsonic. This will certainly have a positive effect on your Gtablet sales and your company image.
A little off subject but OVS are you rocking the gtablet ? Also thanks for participating with the community.
I don't think we'll be seeing Nook on the Gtablet anytime soon - there doesn't seem to be a link to the APK anywhere - but it looks like VS did include FBReader on the Favorites page.
New OTA update coming today, and I suspect the source code will be released soon.

I'm running the Nook Reader on my Gtablet.. Downloaded it form the Android Market. Runs great..

So does this mean that the devs will be able to strip honeycomb out of the xoom easily for us g-tabers?
http://www.droid-life.com/2011/02/2...ckablerelockable-bootloader-for-development/#
That would be my assumption. Great news!
Edit:
I just saw that announcement as well. Seems like good news. I'm a little shocked honestly.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using Tapatalk
I'm sure its only a matter of time before someone yells at us for talking about honeycomb in a forum, but I too am curious about that. I know that Roebeet was answering some questions on another honeycomb thread, which I really appreciate. Seems to me, now that honeycomb is right around the corner, that some discussion about what must be done to get honeycomb on our g tabs would be useful.
Is anyone who checks this forum getting a Xoom? It would be great if a developer could let us know what might be needed from a xoom to begin work on a gtab honeycomb rom (if it is even possible). Im much more hopeful now after learning about the unlockable bootloader. I'm not asking for honeycomb tomorrow by any means, but am very curious about what steps would need to be taken to get honeycomb on the gtab. Thanks for any help!
Guys, our dev community here is one of the best. Roebeet and Rothnic are already active on the Xoom forum and inquiring/waiting/stalking for a system rom dump. ..gotta luv 'em.
See here for the Xoom forum on xda
When you start seeing threads about roms and the like on those forums, Honeycomb for the Gtab won't be far behind.
Thanks for the update!

Thanks for the info. Maybe a mod should post a sticky like your post to cut down on honeycomb threads.

Exactly what I was thinking. If anyone in the know could explain whats the approximate timeline for Google's releases of AOSP in relation to the release of flagship device with the corresponding update.

Read in another post here that Google has 30 days from the release of the first device running an OS before they have to release it to AOSP. again this is from a post I read and can't locate at the moment (too many Where's honeycomb threads to deal with looking through) so take it for what its worth.
Even so, would you like a rom that is a port of another device or a rom built from source using the same version of android?
I say our very own honeycomb will do!

I'm getting a xoom tomorrow and i'm pretty adventurous so if there's anything I can do to help just let me know.

I am also getting a Xoom tomorrow but definitely not throwing out the gtablet as it is one of the best learning development tools I have owned. I will probably be a bit more cautious with the xoom out of the gate just because of the cost, but guaranteed I will be testing Honeycomb ROMS on the gtablet as soon as they are available.
Looks like some of us made Wikipedia .
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorola_Milestone_XT720#References
Haha is that a pix of and XT by an XT? Would that be MadXT Disease.
That Wikipedia page actually has quite a lot of problems.
Let me post some things found on the page:
Unfortunately the CBW or "Cincinnati Bell" update was nothing but a plagiary of D3xters First 2.2 update. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11082732&postcount=1 was posted on XDA Developers website 6 months previously to the "BS Official" update CBW put out.
Due to the fact that CBW was boasting their "Official" XT720 update, actual developers stop developing on D3xters release in anticipation of a "fixed XT720". The wait was mostly due to incorrigible system hack's that disabled vital functions in the ROM's system.

Plagiarism? Really? Android is Open-Source for a reason.
And something I find really funny in that post:
Fortunately, the developers stroked back lol and took back the XT720.

The inclusion of the word 'LOL' in a Wikipedia page is just...lol.
I really hope I don't offend anyone by posting this, but I find it quite humourous so I decided to post this.
hi everybody
as a xoom owner, i have been looking for android 5 lollipop rom for my beloved xoom. unfortunately, there is no one yet making anything.
but today, i found this page and it is supposed to be the "very first" custom lollipop rom for xoom. no idea if anyone knows this site and tried already.
**********.org---mp3-0---motorola-xoom-mz604-3833.html
please share some light,
Frank
:highfive:sorry i am new. so i cannot post a link outside of the xda forum. i will try to get enough experience and post the link later.
sorry
Frank
Out of curiosity, I found the site you were referring to.
To be honest, there's nothing in that page that appears legit. The download links are for surveys, the screenshots don't match a Xoom layout (more as mobile phone). More interestingly, the webpage is dated mid December 2014, so extremely unlikely that Xoom would have a working 5.0 ROM as at that date.
If Xoom is to have a 5.0 ROM, XDA is the most likely site you'll find it.
