I'm not quite sure of the path of let me hear but this tablet works great. I have soft bricked I've had magic mismatch. And many times I've sat here wondering why I wasted 300 dollars on a useless, do nothing, piece of hammered whale crap. Needless to say I do not feel like that anymore. and it is all thanks to two developers... Robeet and Clemsin. 3 weeks ago when I first got this thing, All I could think of was Trying to get this g tab to do everything I wanted at supersonic speed. And I want it all now! I didn't wanna waste a lot of time so I thought why not just start at the top, and the top to me seem to be honeycomb 3.0. And since honeycomb was not available to us I thought the next best thing would be bottle of smoke. What a mistake that was! I didn't think I can make my crappy paper weight any worse, but now I felt like I had a crappy paper weight and no paper! I knew this not be the end because there's all kinds of people online enjoying their g tabs. I then thought to myself, I'm at xda forum. The brightest minds in the business are here, I'll just ask a question and my problems will be solved. So I posted my question Just knowing that I'll get help, And just like magic poof there was a reply. The devs username was something like ( goodintentions), and with me he had none. I thought an all together devastating online experience. But here I am a few days later, having the most incredible time, being able to even do more than I could with my laptop. I don't even have to touch my g tab anymore, I just speak and there I am, watching, listening, reading, and yes, even posting this!! So burn it into your brain. ( read everything) !! And most important donate to the developers because they don't get paid to help you, but if you think about it they already have. And I'm living proof with a great g tab.
Glad to hear you've had a change of heart after that "bos=bfd" kerfuffle.
what rom are you using now just wondering because i am ready to try something different.im on vegan tab rc1 currently
First of all, I'm the guy that created gtab for dummies website (look in my signature). There's a reason why people like myself recommend people AGAINST using the current honeycomb ports. For now, they are for testers only.
Secondly, you really should check out my website. The info there are not as cluttered.
Hi all,
So this is my make my phone awesome thread.
But my way...
What it is is this:
I have been reading here and there on this forum and I'm finding it difficult to see the wood through the trees.
I've flashed a couple roms and read a lot..... but...... I'm missing something.
I find I'm more and more intrigued and want to learn more, this is what brought me here in the first place but I'm missing some of the basics I think.
I'm 33, I have no real programming experience, I have worked in It for some years, built a website or two (Joomla is great) and I have a knack with computers and technology.
So is anyone out there interested in taking in taking this on? I need a friendly, but not necessarily short and green, Joda to show me the way's of the force so to say..... either that or the question to the answer 42.....
What I can promise is that I will put as much effort in to this as I can however I do have a full time job a wife and two kids.
The arsenal I have to play with is an:
HTC Wildfire (very much expendable) (running Cyanogen mod7)
HTC Desire HD (also expendable as long as this or either the wildfire lives to fight another day if required) (sock)
Samsung Galaxy SIII (in no way expendable.... but possibly replaceable at some point...) (leaked Samsung 4.2.1)
So now it's up to you. You can either take it on or tell me to bugger off.......
Right so now I have found this.....
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/where-to-start-full-android-guide-for-beginners/
That's what you get for posting when not sober....
Any way the q is still open but feel free to call me a noob and ask me to cluck off.......
Hi all,
I'm hoping the combined wisdom of XDA members can help me choose a 10.1" tablet. I've already got three 7" ones, but I want something larger for reading comic books and watching the odd video.
I've been looking at this: (blast! I can't post links! It's the V100Q on Focalprice) but I can't find any info on it, other than a thousand and one other shops selling it! It looks like it'll suit me fine, and the price is great, but if there's no support for it, it might be too much of a punt.
I've also found this: (Ainol Hero 2) which is more expensive, but there's a lot of support out there for it.
I'm also a little worried about forward compatibility; I don't want to buy something today, only to find out tomorrow's update isn't supported! I read on another forum that [speculation] future Android versions will only work on quad-core devices [/speculation]. Doesn't sound right to me, but I'm not really "in the know".
So, which of the above do you guys think is best to go for? Or do you have any recommendations?
Cheers!
Ex.
P.S Not sure this is the right place for this topic, so please move if it's wrong.
I'm probably not the only person here who would like a custom made Samsung theme. I really want to make my own and share it with people, themes based around video games. Halo and Undertale, to name a few. But Samsung, as dumb they are, refuses to let you develop themes unless you upload a portfolio of prior theme work. Now, I've never done that, but really now. How come we have to prove we want to make good themes when that's what we are trying to do? Does anyone know if there is a way around this roadblock?

Lets try to gather team of themers and other enthusiasts and try to do something.
I worked on a Sony devices, few years ago and I should check my older themes to remember few things.
If I may suggest or ask - could you, or anyone else, post all infos we have and all problems we should work on and I'll be glad to help on a project.
Don't know what's the problem but I can guess - you, probably, have signing problems, right?
On Sony devices we hade similar problems so we did simplest think we could find - we took official theme from store, decompiled it and do reverse engeniring,
It's easy to add your own assets then and edit few xml files.
As I said, I'm not sure which problems are here on Sammy devices and I really don't have time to Google all that out.
I'll built Java environment today on my main PC, install compilers and notepad++ so I could help if someone wants to try.

I'm a noob.
I'm actually a complete and utter noob at this. I'm a 14 year old who had come up with the idea of making some themes just yesterday. So I don't know the first thing about developing themes for anything. But if you could explain stuff or point me to someone who can teach me about everything, that would be great.
By the way, do you know if there are any other ways to root a Note 5 without using Odin? I've got the international unlocked version (SM-N920C), single SIM, and I don't want to have to flash the stock ROM back on when I need to get it serviced (prove I have warranty).

I'm quite sure you can't root 5+ Android using Kingo Root or similar not-so-friendly app.
The easiest way that I know of is chainsfire way.
One Tar, one Odin flash and that's it.

Hi All.
So here is the long and short side of it.
"SAMSUNG IS DUMB" They have made a theme development service in witch user can go and make their own theme, they then use this as advertisement to the public. Then once users have their devices they want to theme them and what do you know. Samsung then wants you to sign up for development once done they then refuse your application to the theme store for no reason what so ever.
I have seen a few very good themes around here for the note 5, much better then the useless girly/gay themes on the theme store and those users have been denied over and over.
So no, samsung does not give a rats ass if you are a good themer or not this is basically company personnel only that can them.
What we need is a user who by the magic of all things magical have been excepted by samsung to share his user credentials or profile so we can log into the theme service and use it our selves.
How does that sound?
Or someone to crack the software if they can get their hands on it (sadeempc!). There is samsung theme software available but its older versions. Possibly make some on it and use it as past work.

I have that software on my PC, but it's for developing for the possibly discontinued BADA OS. Now, I am not too keen on having someone crack software, bu the idea of a public theme dev account sounds great. Maybe some people should start making accounts and putting them out for us to use.

I am not one thats for cracking others work and time either, but when its impossible to get whether its priced with the same idea gas is priced or literally impossible due to whatever youd call it that samsung is pulling. What really is that, it really just hit me like, why are they being snobby little Bs with this theme software. Does it automatically go straight on the theme store when it is made? Let people make their own themes instead of being limited to the mostly awkward chinese or whatever they are themes. Everything is material or walk on Mars or LIVE with weird sayings and dudes with strange sporatic hair on their legs. We have this software to make themes that can only make us money and you none unless we approve it for store use. But you have to apply to get it, oh and submit some past theme creations (hehe). Just like those one kids everybody knows at sometime that nobody likes. Ud think theyd hand that for free and some wizard of themes would come from the midst and samsung could only bank. But nope. Like paying to feed the animals at the zoo or camels at a pumpkin patch. Dont people normally get paid to feed the animals. All @$$ backwards these days.

After brainstorming for a few minutes I have a solid conclusion. Given samsungs history of effort(lack) in previous apps, programs, etc. (Samsung nation, plus, forget the others*pointmade*, it has GOT to be because they do not have the people, the interest or simply care enough to go through that many theme submissions. Im sure tons would be pestering for a approval replys etc. I think they are already slacking with the 5 theme makers they have now as im pretty sure i seen a weed leaf on a theme the other day, its the swag one plus all of the same repetitive weird ones. Weed aint bad in some states at least (weird) but just sayin, i dont see any bud light ones or nething sweet like that. Its apparent that theme making is not coming from the US. Im almost positive on the application it doesnt even have the US listed on country list for areas of interest to sell or something like that. Which makes sense when u look at the options available
This sums up both what you and I are thinking in one gigantic paragraph. I did not even know Samsung was incompetent.
On a side note (get it?), can themes be shipped with live wallpapers as default, or will users have to install them separately from the Play store?
It would be nice to see some wallpapers coupled with some badass "living" themes.
I want to repurpose my Galaxy Tab2 7.0 tablets for use in my RV this summer. They were my kids but they got Kindles for Christmas and I can't throw these away, they are still in good shape. This first one I want to use for a GPS while I drive. They are wifi only so that limits what I can do with them, so a factory reset was done. I am still seeing over half the available space is being used by the crap Samsung puts on these and I want that to go away as well. I know enough about coding/rooting to create a nice little plastic brick out of these. If you can point me to a thread that explains what to do from start to finish I would appreciate it. If there are certain OS's that work the best or are better for my intended use. Again, thanks in advance for any help you can give. I look forward to seeing what these tablets can do, they were good, but I feel they could have been great.
Thanks again,
Joe
