Newcomer here! A few questions and an introduction. - Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey Galaxy Tab 2 Team!
I'm going out to purchase a Galaxy Tab 2 7" tomorrow, and just wanted to stop by to say hi
I've been on the Optimus 2X forum since the forum was created, and just wanted to say that I'm looking forward to communicating with this community also!
Any tips for best ROM etc.? I see a lot of names I haven't seen before since I'm only used to the AOSP/AOKP/CM based ROMs.
I'll be using the tablet mainly for the purpose of reading PDFs (for school), how are you guys experience with this tablet for the purpose?
And for finals, I'll get the tablet for 160 USD, is this a fine price?
Looking forward to you guys!
Kind Regards
Neefy

Welcome Neefy. Haven't been here too long myself, and this community is pretty good. Plenty of helpful people here, and a nice international community. On roms, it depends on what you like. We have a lot of great flavors here that you find elsewhere. Cm, aokp, paranoid, and some custom Samsung stock. Update to jellybean, then use cf autoroot. Test out stock because it is pretty snappy. The price is pretty good. It beats the Christmas sale price I got. All in all, it has made me a fan of Samsung. Good luck....

Tab2.7 with Sugsonic HD
Hi
I run this tab with Sugsonic HD and it's great.
I mainly bought it to use on the London tube and it serves me quite well, especially when it's cramped and newspapers are akward to read.
I download the newspapers to read offline.
Ideally I'd prefer a 10" to use indoors and this is on my wish list.

As with everyone, i say try them all out... ROM choice will always be about personal preference. I like the aokp variety, but i use the ir blaster frequently and it doesn't work on non stock (....yet). Welcome, and good luck!

To all developers, heres an great idea for an Editor

Ok, so I'm thinking about buying the new Transformer Prime.. It looks great and with the keyboard docking, I see a lot of potensial. I've been searching the market up and down for code-editors specially for tablets, I've seen some, but they all look none-userfriendly. So here is an mockup for an simple, yet powerfull editor that I think would be popular for developers like me.
Anyone?
looks cool
Thanks shockem!
Now, any android-developers out there who could take the task of making this? I can help in many ways, but not that much in the coding since I'm a web developer.
I think that people might pay anything from 0 to 40 USD for a editor that looks great, works great and is easy to use.. Just look what Coda did for mac users..
Edit: I see that I forgot to add tabs for files that are open, I'll add that after work
I'd Love to help however I need alot more experience. I want to release a ics rom for the nexus s after ota for ns is out however Times running short and school holidays are ending. Wish you luck in getting this into reality!

Buying this phone will make u keep reading this thread !!
Beware ! U have been warned !!!
I'm having problems with it BUT, I will not say you shouldn't buy it. It's a great fone specially if you like to play games on your mobile.
Just make sure you do all the checks you need to do before the replacement period is over. Cheers!

Gr8, Thanks for the reply.
But can you specify your problems?
Please check my thread. I have an ongoing narration about it there.
Its a very good phone, economical for a hi-fi specs and lots of scope in tweaking.
Except for battery life, its a very good phone. Reliability and failure issues do exist in every electronics products.
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE PROPER WARRANTY SUPPORT AND SERVICE IN YOUR COUNTRY. IF NOT SAMSUNG WARRANTY, AT-LEAST THE SHOP WARRANTY.

Well this thread is a little vague, no offense, to a potential new user.
Anyway, I was gonna buy this phone for my little brother, mostly for gaming and had a few questions.
1. Being a tegra 2 device, I presume it runs most of the hd games flawlessly, right?
2. Which is the most stable rom and kernel available atm? Keep in mind, My bro would not be updating his phone in the near future, not even for ics, until I get my hands on it after about a year.
3. Ya'll talk about certain problems with the phone. Could ya'll please be more specific and elaborate? The dude who asked to check his thread, can you please provide a link mate? (I'll be searching when on my pc tomorrow, but will be nice if you can help for tonight's reading.)
4. Does OC really help on this device, again will mostly be used for gaming.
Will be happy if I/my bro doesn't get any random reboots, fc's, or crashes etc.
Cheers
P.S. I own a galaxy s2.
Edit: any other helpful suggestions will be much appreciated.

OC and non OC not a big difference.
First if it is not a big difference in money go for SGS2 it is more powerful device (not by a lot but still).
No significant issues with stability, and it has a great screen (my reason for buying it).
I know AMOLED has some advantages, but short lifespan is a no go for me (burn-in issue).
Also seems SGR has better sound processor.
On other fields SGS2 has an advantage. Consider this and do a little more research and make a decision

[A510] Costom roms will there be any?

Hi all I just wanted to know if there will be any custom roms ? are there developers around ? because im thinking of getting the a510 or the asus tf300, but up to now the tf300 has custom roms already.
Sorry for my bad english
You're bringing up a good question, really, and my first thought is, yes.
But my second thought is rather a reminder and friendly meant plea, to any fellow Iconia Tab users onboard, to up the dedication and involvement in populating the threads, sharing tips and tweaks, information, app-tips, and whatnot's..
Cuz the more we actively show our own dedication to our devices in the forum, the more its likely for a skilled developer to show up and eyeball into our pit of tabs, and sight a large and steady enuff userbase to make it interesting to begin with.
One thing I do myself, is stealthly lurking around in cover of the dark and while most people is asleep, into the other devices specific parts of our forum, with a similar setup of our own Tegra3 platform, like the new Asus and Samsung tabs etc, and minutely sweep the walls and floors for stuff and leftovers, that I might be able to implement on my beloved 510
You never know whats good and nice, or smart-to-have, before you try. Some is ****, and simply doesnt work because of certain minor framework differences, but a fair bit of stuff actually do.
For instance, I've found great joy in the Asus SuperNote app, and found it to be fully enjoyable on our A510, and likely the A7* too. Even various device specific Live Wallpapers and widgets run fine, like the Asus weather widget, and so on.
Likewise, certain general tweaks for the ICS or Tegra3 is all but likely to play more or less nice in our tabs aswell.
What it does take thou, to make it even more interesting investing time in our own threads, is to share our findings, be it good or bad, silly or smart, and everything inbetween.
So lets populate the threads :thumbup:
The only general consesus to notice when posting our findings from other device threads, is to include a short informative description, and specificly, named credits to any users work you share. We must be friendly and smile while we nick thier stuff, right?
Sincerely,
Omnius
And ps.
Yes, its a long second answer to your question, but I believe its true.

In answer, yes, there will be custom roms. As a matter of fact, I have one almost ready for the a701.
The problem, is that currently, there is no working recovery for the 50x or the 70x. At least one that doesn't brick your tablet. This I am sure, will be fixed soon (as soon as some devs get their tablets back from repair )

This is a high-end tablet - I would be surprised if CyanogenMod doesn't eventually support it.

Flying Spaghetti Monsters? There is only ONE FSM; therefore, it is impossible to assign two to this board. So, which one of you is the real noodly goodness?

Just purchased Transformer TF700

Hello everyone!
New here, been looking around, reading different things, and don't understand half of all of it. lol, sorry. I'm not familiar with all the different rooting, techniological specs of it. But I do know that this tablet is supposed to be the best on the market. I have a neighbor who is big into android and told me a lot and rooted my Gnex and I fell in love. Had an iPhone, but no where near what I could do with android.
I'm just trying to get a feel for it, and wondering what I can do to make it better, any apps or games that I need?
I got it from Best Buy, and wasn't sure how the return policy works. I know it's like 30 days, but how many exchanges?
There is a little bit of light bleed, but as far as I know, that is all that is wrong. No cracks, no wireless problems, etc.
Anything I need to look for to know if I should return it?
Jelly Bean is coming soon and I'm excited. Project butter is definitely nice.
I want to thank you all in advance for all your help. From what I've read on here, and all over the forums, you guys know your stuff.
I you pan to return it I'd perform a factory reset on it prior to returning it so no personal information is on the tablet.

Welcome on-board!
I'm new myself (relatively) I was never really fascinated with android beyond sharing my wife's Acer tablet.
I didn't want to mess her's up so I bought an Infinity for me.
Joining this board has really made an android junkie out of me.
The knowledge and questions brought from every corner of thought here are just unending.
I always know the answer is here somewhere.
Here's to hoping you'll have great luck with the Asus...

I've been loving my tablet so far... wondering if I should root now, or wait until the Jelly Bean update? But as you've said, this forum has made me an Android junkie.
I had to show my support by purchasing their app a couple years ago. Hopefully one day I can contribute a little more to the forums, but for now I'll just read and follow instructions until I learn a little more about developing

Honestly I'd just wait for Jelly Bean, it's only a few days away. That said, i don't think just rooting will stop the OTA (from what I've read).
