I was wondering if there is somewhere / someone reputable I can send my device to to get the Mod installed, I don't have the time or smarts to get it working but would love to see how this tablet works without all of the bloatware and extra programs running in the the background. OR, would i be better off saving the cash and buying another tablet, because this one is barely un-usable its so slow.
Thanks

i found a samsung s8000 jet at 199€ and was wondering whether i'd be able to install android on it
i found it has a good 800mhz cpu and it has anything u can ask nowadays apart from the best os avaiable today
any chance ?
Well AFAIK it is possible, but it would take a long time to accomplish (talking about years)
If the Jet was windows mobile, it'd be a lot easier (would still take lot of time)
u know what
my girlfriend wants a Gphone at a reasonable price but still can't find it here in italy.
i really don't understand where the problem is since linux is usually installable on any device
that's very odd
Yeah well the kernel needs to be completely rewritten to fit the hardware.
One different processor already makes a lot of trouble.
Sorry for digging up a dead topic, but, I have come across a way to get Android onto the S8000. I figure it was either that or let the phone get dusty in a drawer somewhere.
Just its not exactly a usable system as yet. None of the phone functions work, there are many Force Closures, the touch screen isnt really sensitive enough for Android either (although things can be scaled up to a larger size, normal presses get misunderstood for long presses), Cant access battery info, screen lock freezes phone, cant read time, etc etc etc. There are many things it cant to but its still an accomplishment to have it to a bootable state.
It does connect to wifi now, and has potential as far as I can tell, but, time will tell.
Still, it was fun to install onto my Jet after upgrading to Galaxy S.
I've only been playing around with it for a day. The project that is trying to get it functional is called JetDroid.
Just goes to show that Samsung could have made the Jet into a really good phone. If a semi functional install can work from people who program it in their own spare time, imagine how optimised Samsung could have gotten it.
Hi everyone, As title states i am looking to buy a tf300 to replace my aging hp dv6000 laptop running vista (yes i know why u stayed with vista, got used to it) At this moment I do not need a laptop as my desktop will be able to manage everything but do require something on the run enter tf300..
I do have a couple of questions if someone can answer them that would be great!
1. I have heard that the tf300 drains battery whilst the screen is off i have read things like the acer a510 has the ability not to drain battery whilst screen is off. Has there been any development that will help achieve this?
2. There is great rom development here with this device, has development help improve battery with this deivce? review stats indicate that the tablet on its own is only good for 8 hours with dock it may get you to 11 hours..
Any help will be much appreciated.
Cheers.
It would be a great idea to check out the Dev. section of the tf300t's forum to see if they have got a ROM that improves battery life. (There is, but I'm to lazy to find the link )
That said are you considering getting the keyboard dock with the tab as well? I would highly recommended it, and it would go to increase the battery life of the tab.
Ok thanks I will have a look see, yes of course I will get the dock my trade off will be battery life though but with the only brand to have keyboard and android power its hard to move away from
Yes it drains when the screen is off. Someone said they lost %6 over 24 hours with the wifi left on. At that rate it would take over 2 weeks to completely drain it.
Imagine the rate would be less if you keep the wifi off. Don't take any of that as a guarantee, just word from one unverified source.
And there's always development going on. It's a fairly popular device that's new on the market. There's bound to be plenty of things coming from the community over the coming months.
One thing to also consider is how fast the TF300 charges. It only takes a couple hours to put a full charge on mine. Much better than some other tablets *cough ipad cough*.
cool thanks for that, i know what u mean that other tablet.. somehow one has managed to make its way into the house...no its not mine its my mums..
Like pretty much every other device, there is battery drain when sleep. But it's not like you'll wake it with half your battery gone or anything. The drain will be in the low single digits, like 2% or 3% Most people who have the tab only charge once every one or two days. Sometimes even less.
Ok cool, well I have just made my purchase hopefully it will be ready for pick up sometime tomorrow, it was $598AUD but I had some gift cards and filled a money jar worth of coins so I am going to be paying about $300 for a new tf300.
Thanks guys for your inputs.
Cheers.
Just got my tf300 looks amazing. I have a noob question... Should I be putting my existing Gmail account on my phone to link to the tablet or should I make a brand new account? Reason is if I use my existing one will that back up everything on my phone to the tablet and if I were to flash roms and recover everything will it screw around with it? First time tablet owner Btw

I have the same two Google accounts linked on my tablet and phone with no problems.
Ok so nothing conflicts by using the same account?

Nope. Google can tell which device you're using. If you go to the Play Store on a computer, when you install an app, it will give you a list of all the devices you're logged into. It won't restore apps from one device onto another.
and it's even better if you use the same account, because it automatically syncs whatever (from google and their products, services,...) you have in this device to other android devices you sign in.
Awesome thanks guys, everything is running great thus far only problem i have come across is the mouse on the keyboard can be a bit laggy at times other than that its great!

I've searched around, but all the threads I've found for wifi-disabling solutions floating around seem to not be doing the trick(to be fair, I haven't tried eleting system/etc as I'm still unsure if that solution was specific to that phone). Basically, I bought my G2x secondhand and the previous owner made it very clear that he dropped it a few times and, after one of the drops, wifi and bluetooth would endlessly try to connect if switched on, but never actually connect and, after testing various roms and fixes, I confirmed he was telling the truth. It seemed that the portion of the SOC responsible for these functions had fried or become dislodged. Of course, for $50, coming from a Sidekick 4g(RIP) and only needing a good device until income tax returns when I can get a decent future-proof upgrade, I couldn't have cared less. I'm running Benee's cm10 hackfest, so you see this is a problem for me. Is there any way to completely remove these two functions from the system? All they're able to do is idly waste battery life. The phone and ROM run great otherwise and I've gone into the secret menu and set it to WCDMA/GSM Auto, so I am 99 percent certain the wifi is the issue. Also, please don't suggest downgrading to an ICS or GB ROM as I've become quite spoiled by JB's extra little frills to the point that, if nobody can help me, I'll just be content to go for a 3500mah fat battery. Thanks!

^^^This thread said this, "Certificate installer com.android.certinstaller CertInstaller.apk /No/ (Web?) Certificate Installer. When removed, the WIFI will not be turned on (Automatically turned off)."
I would try removing CertInstaller.apk from the System/App directory. Everything in android is controlled by an app (apk). I am fairly confident you will be able to figure out how to completely shut down, remove or disable wifi capabilities with the removal or editing of a certain apk. Before fiddling around and removing things in the System folder PLEASE make a back up of your current setup in case you delete something IMPORTANT and your phone goes into boot loop or something worse.
I still have my old One S after my son returned it as "slow". As a cyclist I always run the risk of carrying my good phone in the pocket of my cycling jersey so am thinking I may root the One S and use that as a spare, cycling phone which if it gets damaged wont be so "painful".
I am looking for an O/S which will get rid of the bloatware and, perhaps, allow the phone to do the basics a little more quickly and smoothly.
Can someone suggest and point me in the direction of an install which may be suitable?
I've been using freedompop for a few years. I mainly just use wifi and get by OK with the free 500MB or data, however, as time has gone on their support has declined. I've had a few HTC phones and currently have a Galaxy S3. This phone has worked very well, but, I think I have a usb port problem and rather than repair it I'm thinking of replacing it with some newer (used or refurbished) model. I've noticed that lately it is using up a lot of my data from background system apps. I've found how to restrict background data, but, when an app updates, I lose this setting and don't always catch it. I'm also using AICP as the ROM and maybe there is something in it that is causing this as well.
In any event it is an older model phone and I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions on any good cheap phones to look for to replace it.
I do like the ability to change the battery. I can carry around a spare battery and have a spare battery and charger in the car as well. I also like the ability to charge wirelessly and use bluetooth a good deal.
I've heard there is a new fast charge feature on some newer phones, this might be of interest as well.
Does anyone have any suggestions on phones to look at?
Also, I'm open to another service besides freedompop if there are any others like this. Also, because I'm looking at limited data plans I'd be interested more in how to better restrict or control background data use.
TIA
