Hi All,
Just a note to say Thanks A Million!
The hard work of the developers have turned a nice piece of hardware into pleasant and fun tablet.
I do hope that you continue your excellent work, and that Viewsonic gets their act together. Or maybe they just release hardware and let the community do with it what they will.
Thanks again!
Agreed.
This would be a crap device if it weren't for the developers here. Upon my initial power up I got at least 15 force close messages and couldn't even connect to WiFi to perform a system update. Two hours later, thanks to the tools/info available via this forum I was happily running a custom ROM and downloading apps from the marketplace.
Gotta agree. The difference between owning a brick and owning a great machine is XDA developers and this forum. Is there another example of a new piece of hardware being rescued from Glitch Oblivion like the G-Tablet?
Thanks again!
I just ordered my G Tab today! By week's end I should be ready to do some hacking. I have done it plenty of times on my Droid so I'm pretty sure it will be a breeze with this device. Thanks devs!
I just got around to turning mine on this weekend, and I agree. I can see why so many people returned this thing. Out of the box, I would have. Thank goodness, I knew about xda-developers from when I got my Android phone.
I spent a little over an hour, and while there are still things I want to do, and still little quirks here and there, I am really enjoying this device (Vegan ROM), and am excited to play with it some more.
Thanks for everyone here for making this thing worth the money (especially now that I see the cost of the Xoom!)
I thought my Gtab was cool from the start 0_o but yeah the reason why I bought it was XDA I read that it was easily rooted . Plus look at the Xoom 800 bucks.. Really?
Have to second that!
My experience has been the same. Bought my G at the end of November after seeing it at Staples. The stock UI really was uninspiring, but in my experience with it, it was rock steady. I stayed stock until this weekend when I flashed TntLite 4.2.2 - man, what a difference that made! The G changed from bland and mildly disappointing to a quick and flexible piece of equipment.
My thanks to the devs for their work. I've lurked here for about two months attempting to pick up on installation tips and general impressions of the different ROMs. I'd say it has paid off because my install went easily; I was able to handle the google framework force closes after a quick search through the forum.
After a time with Tnt, I'll likely give Vegan a go!
Thanks again to all who develop, mod, and share their experiences here.
Thanks echoed and put my order in today...
Just wanted to say thanks (in advance) for all the great support the developers have given the community. I've been ogling tablets for a while now, looking for a replacement for my Archos 5 IT (which I still love and will still be giving gym treadmill duty). Really looking forward to more screen real estate!
This forum is what led me to put my order in today...without it, I'd probably have missed out on a sleeper hit.
Will likely be acquiring a dock shortly as well...just for the complete solution.
Everyone here, especially the developers, have basically helped revive the G-Tablet and make it a sexy beast! Keep on modding guys!
Many Props to the DEVS!
Yeah, the only reason I bought my GTAB was because a custom ROM already existed so could swap out the crappy stock TNT with VEGAn.
I've tried out all the roms available for this device and decided VEGAn would be my daily driver.
BIG THANKS TO:
GOJIMI, BEKIT, SCEPTERR, BITTRIX, ROTHNIC and ROEBEET for the Awesome sauce!
You guys RUMBA ROCK!!
Midgetgrimm that is. Hello XDA, finally after hearing enough times of "check the xda" or "it's def in the XDA" I figured I'd swing in and see what's up. I'm somewhat new to the nitty gritty stuff, but I can hold my own. I run a DarkSlide Rom on my Rooted Droid X with custom boots and it's super stable. My girl is getting a new smartphone tomorrow, I think I am more excited as it will be a new phone for me to learn and Root. Well I hope to have a growing post count, so I will see all of you soon.
That's great, glad to have you. If you haven't already, be sure to get the XDA app from the market because.. well it's pretty awesome lol.
But yea man, what type of phone is she getting? You are aware of the phones from CES and upcoming MWC right?
Captivate 2.2.1 Paragon
Hey thanks. I just dl'ed the XDA app. I love tapatalk. She isn't sure and I don't wanna pressure lol. I think she'll go with and Android OS its just which one. Personally I wouldn't mind playing with the new windows phone. I used have an Omnia and I loved flashing and teching that phone. I really love Android, all the fun and its growing market and its openness to the people is just Wozniakish circa 1980's. Lol. Thanks again.

No pressure, as long as there's not another iPhone user walking around out there. I'm not biased or anything.
Nice to meet another new face.
well its tomorrow... inquiring minds want to know what your honey landed at the phone-store.

hello, grimm..
Hello Grimm
I had a friend come over last Friday and she asked me a question about her Facinate...I teased her for having it cluttered when she replied with "Do whatever you want to it...I don't care." That made me smile. I didn't have time to do much to it, but shes coming back over this week and I plan on doing a bit more to it.
I too am curious what Grimms girlfriend got though.

Lawl I'm starting to see why the mods made a whole new forum for the iPhone, instead of integrating it with xda. xD
It's like segregation you know. xD
Haha thanks everyone! So my girl got the Continuum and yes she will let me play with it but only minimal surgery is allowed. Prob a root maybe a rom. Im really interested in learning to change the bootani's. Well hello bak to all. Im sure we will all meet again somewhere on these forums

You bought a phone with an infant OS for functionality? It can't do half the things Android and iOS can (yet), and you say it's ugly. I am really questioning your reasoning skills. By the way, it's the best looking and smoothest interface available. Please tell me you don't think the silver/lime green/blue (and completely uncustomizable) iOS theme looks good LOL

You should have read a bit more or ask here before you bought a WP7 with what you call a hideous interface, would have saved you money and us having to read thru all the .....
Quick answer.... No !
Guys, 2 things:
Stop flaming please and try and be helpful
secondly and lastly, @OP, this is not dev related so im moving this to Q&A.
Thanks.
Ok people....let me get this straight....I picked up the phone from a friend that needed money.....he bought the phone on contract, and later needed some money....not a new phone...I gave him 100.00 dollars for it...I am a happy owner owner of an hd2...in a dual boot config...I have never had a windows phone before so I know nothing about the OS....themes....modding.....nothing at all....which is why I came here to ask for EXPERTISE.....not flaming....Im sure there are things on your phones that you dont like either.Mine on the other hand is the looks of the Operating system...after seeing all the different roms and themes for android that are available...I was simply curious to see if there was anything like that for htc hd7 YET...I personally think that Microsoft designed an extremely ugly interface for such a nice phone..I hate the looks of it...big ugly squares of color that take up the whole screen ....looks like a 3rd grader designed it...IMO.So please dont flame me about the phone.I know anyone of you would have happily paid 100.00 for the Brand new phone as well...So on that note...thanks to the people that actually gave me useful information.Now I have the answer to my question.I understand the phone is very new and it will take time to get things modded, themed etc...so I will wait....Or maybe someone here is interested in a trade for an android device that is similar in value?...Who knows....
To the Flamers that have nothing better to do but bash someone for something they have no idea about....GET A LIFE!!!...and remember this next time you ask anyone about something you are unsure of...and hopefully you wont get flamed simply because you ASKED.....peace out...Larry
Hi all. Is there any app for WP7 that creates a secure folder where I can keep my personal files with password protection? Thanks.

I remember seing a few apps that would secure notes and pictures with password/encription protection.

lol way to go in hijacking someones thread
Seriously though, there is a free app on the market place called SecureIt, in which you can place photos stored in the normal folders and place in there, password protected.
It cant store anything else in there, but it is a good place to hide the girly pics from the misses (so im told )
If you wanted to keep anything else in there such as documents, i guess you could save them in jpeg format instead of pdf for example, that could work

Hey larry,
Good you found your answer and that your enjoying your HD2 (it is an awesome device IMHO).
WP7 is in its early state and as such MS will continue to develop it further, i mean look at Apple; they certainly didnt get it right first time, nor did they with android hence all the updates which improve not only the UI but speed, security etc.
WP7 does indeed have exciting times ahead, you only have to look at Mango to realise how well integrated social networking will be in the very core of the OS.
Personally i think wp7 is good, a refreshing attempt at something different, which has great scope for further development in both the OS itself and on the market place, but everyone has their own opinion and certain OS's are not for everyone.
Feel free to PM me, or discuss this further here
Cheers,
Tim.
Hello all, I am looking for a small group of developers looking to make an opensource port for the HP touchpad. I currently have an android tablet, and I'm looking to port android to this cheap yet powerful(debatable) tablet!
add me on skype: Rockinoutt93
look forward to working with you guys/Gals!
make it happen!
there is already a thread discussing this
Join the group from above, the more smart people working on this the better for the community. There will be some nice rewards for you if you are able to port it first and by yourself though....
will see what I can do =3
well based on the community gathering here im gonna go buy one at 99 bones i cant really go wrong.
The TouchPad is the new HD2

For $99, even if it has no apps to download it's still a good deal. Much better than many of the nameless single-core Froyo Android tablets selling at your local pharmacy. None of those is as cheap as $99 btw.
I haven't been developing for very long, and am still learning, but I am willing to help with this project to the best of my abilities. I am also willing to donate to those who help this project become a reality.
I love you guys!!!!!
Best $99 ever spent

I just bought a couple 32gb TouchPads. Let me know how I can help!
I cannot post a link but there is a group of people working on this project over on rootzwiki. Might be nice if everyone got together.. Or possible had a race
Rumor also has it that the dev team over ay Cyanogen is working on developing a port for this as well. So there is definitely a lot of interest in this. There are even some dev teams that are trying to get Ubuntu/Linux to run as well.
I think that since someone was able to run gingerbread on the Pre that this should be something that someone could pull off. We will just have to keep supporting the developers and this will be an amazing accomplishment.

I will try to help once everything gets organized
Let me know where to donate.
I lol'd at the "The TouchPad is the new HD2." Luckily, I have both now.
Also, I think the new name for the TouchPad should be the LootPad. I'm not sure how your guys' experiences were at where you bought it but it felt like a moment of panic on the Titanic as it was sinking.
I hope this thread will remain on-track with discussions of porting Android. The other thread started on that topic is a total mess now, as 95% of the 34 pages are about where to buy the touchpad now.
Very interested in following a genuine discussion on an Android port. I have an HD2 and can't believe how perfect the CM7 (and earlier Froyo) port is. You can't even tell it was ever a WM 6.5 phone.
This is already going on at Touchdroid. Might be a good idea to copy and paste their progress here. They only ask that if you're not deving, don't post, they have a lot going on. Link to thread below

Hi everyone,
I am writing here because as owner of a Cubox (http://www.solid-run.com/) I would love to see CM10 or another android 4.1 based version on it.
This minipc has a really good hardware and I believe a great potential. Unfortunately the company which created it is not doing a good working in developing a stable OS. That's why I thought to post here.
Would the xda community be interested in support this hardware?
I really feel we could be a great competitor to the Nexus Q..if a stable version would be available.
Thank you for your time
Regards
nobody interested in?

Hello.
I own one too, just sits in the cabinet doing nothing atm. (Default Ubuntu installl on it ).
Glad news, over at Solid Run forums theres some movement going on.
Check this out
So there is new hope for this device.
Ive contacted the new head of marketing to get some details on the development support mentioned in the post , pending reply on that.
For now, this topic is subscribed =)
Here is another thread about the cubox i 4 pro.
They really searching for developers.
Perhaps anybody of you can help us.
