I plan to get one because it's better than the Dell Streak in terms of being unlocked and it works as a phone (without hacking it like the Galaxy Tab). I will get this device on Best Buy this week Let's get our hack section here now!
Just got home with mine! A kinda interesting so far .

I can't wait to install CyanogenMod on this huge fish!
Quick question: I'm thinking about buying it but do you need to have 3G/sim card in order to use the market and download apps? Or can you just get the tablet and enable wifi right away and use the market?
You can just use wifi if you want. So does anyone know if cyan is working on a rom for this yet? Also, what is the best root method for it?

The S7 is a great tablet for the money. The only one I have found that is readily available with 3g, GPS and Bluetooth for $300.00. I have had mine for about a week and a half.
I love mine but I'm dying without android 2.2, any developers looking at these

you mean the prepaid packages sold from optus australia are not simlocked?
I picked one of these up the other day, and loving it. I originally picked up the Maylong M-150, but what a turd (Returned at record pace). This thing is much better. I would love to see it's own section in XDA with developer support. Cyan would be awesome on here.
Word up on the cyanogenmod shebang. This tablet is much easier to find than the Viewsonic which got its own section. So huh?
I too would like a section for this tablet and a cyanogen rom would be grand.
I just grabbed this little tablet for my son and was shocked at how much they packed in this little baby for the price. I was planning on getting a View Sonic G tablet for myself but might just grab another one of these.
Also side note anyone know where I can get a spare battery and or car charger for this thing?
Actually I really would love to see an extended battery up to 4000 mAH for this sucker.
I would love a section for this, I have the Telstra T-Touch Tab, which is what Telstra have rebranded it to in Australia, I think their hardware is slightly different though I am not 100% on that, if it is different then maybe a sub-forum for the T-Touch would be in order
This tablet has a lot of potential for froyo cooking and such, I do hope we get a forum

I know this is an Aria forum, but I have a tablet question. Are there any Aria/Liberty/Gratis/Intruder users in this forum that also use Android tablets? We are considering gifting one and wonder how they perform in terms of reliability. A friend has the Coby one and gets force closes often and AppsLib sucks.
My last Intruder was a Grumman A-6E.
Funny... I was searching on ebay for one of those a minute ago. I believe they operate reliably. But I would deffinitely go with one that runs Froyo, less chances of finding bugs.
I am using my Gtab to send tis, as my Aria Tethers me to a connection here in the mountains of the Poconos. Its ony at EDGE speeds, but it works for now. I love my GTAB. The hardware is impressive, save one item. Its downfall is the LCD screen. It has bad viewing angles in Portrait mode. Other than that, I have since turned my laptop on twice in the last two weeks since I got the Tablet.

I have a GTAB too. The thing is junk out of the box but killer after switching to a different Rom. Look in the G Tablet forum on here and do some research. I like it because I'm already familiar with the Android system and how it works.

This is exactly why I went with the gTab. Plus the cpu makes the gTab a device that will be around for a while longer than most portable devices running Android

What did you guys pay for your G-Tabs? $400? Did you get it locally or from Amazon?
I'm pretty interested in it, but with all the newly-announced tablets at CES, I'm wondering if I should hold off.
I'm going to wait for a suitable htc tablet, like the so called "htc scribe"

I did get it locally, but I only paid 319.99. Heh, I was able to negotiate the sears rep at the store down from 400 by telling him I was just going to buy it online and pick it up since I could get it for 380. He then did some numbers thing and viola! It was on m receipt for 320

i would get the Nook Color, but i'd like to have camera and GPS for road trips. would be nice to play around with Google Maps and navigation on a tablet.
I was all set to buy a Nook Color for rooting, then a friend on another forum told me that he had returned his because the edges of the screen were not sensitive to touch at all. That worries me... you had any issues with that anup?
Sorry for the late reply... I don't have problems at all with touchscreen unitl my hands get sweaty (I know it's gross). When that happens the screen becomes unresponsive and I have to lock and unlock the screen. Then it's all better!
I ended up getting a Nook color yesterday. Had it rooted within 30 minutes. I'm using Zeam as my launcher and I really like it. This Nook has to be the best Android tab for the money if you ask me.

I have had the orig. Droid, the incredible, and now use the fascinate as my primary phone. I got the vzw tab in December and am shocked at how little dev there is for it. Do any of you see this picking up, or is the tab now just old news? I have not yet put any custom roms on it. (Still a little confused, and it doesnt look like there is much out there for verizon).
Does the bootstrapper app for 2 bucks work? The reviews are so mixed?
Anyone here think 3.0 will ever be ported?
Sent from my SCH-I800 using XDA App
I have a verizon tab and the bootstrapper worked great for me. I flashed boushh kernel and now the tab is much faster. Just make sure you have all the verizon stock software before you flash in case something goes wrong.

yeah there never really was a lot of dev for the VZW galaxy tab, but those few that are doing it are making things a lot better for the rest of us, and we appreciate all hte work they have done!

I ordered one of these. Has anyone shopped from them before?
Got mine in the mail today. Seems like the real deal for a $100 tablet. The pinch-to-zoom feature is a bit of a disappointment, not near as smooth as on a phone. Seems speedy enough to handle what I threw at it though. Definitely not a Tab or Xoom, but more than adequate for a small internet appliance.
Came with Market from Google preinstalled, but a lot of the apps don't show up because of the region coding. Was able to side-load Netflix, Swype, and a few other apps but it'd be nice to be able to use an app like Market Enabler to fake a U.S. carrier but you need root access. Tried Z4Root and it didn't work.
Anybody know of a way to get root access on this thing, at least temporary? Or a way to spoof the carrier so I can download my purchased apps a lot easier?

Congratulations! Xoom development is quite exciting right now. There are the mature and stable Honeycomb roms Moray 2.2.2 for wifi and 3G, one for 4G, and the Odachi kernel from Team Tiamat, as well as several kernels from Team Rogue. There is also a terrific alpha ICS (Ice Cream Sandwich) rom in development, that I'm using as a daily driver.

Was meant to be going for £199 by CPW.
They actually priced it instore for £199!
But apparently they 'messed up' and it wasnt the right price....
Tried to use price match plus 10% off at PC world
they said they rang the local cpw and said they could not as not in stock
I went over the cpw, they had 3 in stock, bought it
went back to pc world complained they'd told porkies
got a £30 free spend as a sorry we messed up
got a 16gb usb stick, a case for it, and a screen protector
I'm assuming the Xoom will get ICS officially ?

Motorola announced that the Xoom will officially get ICS a while back. At least in the US.
I also picked up a Xoom from CPW for £250, great little device! Next step, root and then ICS

Easiest way to root this thing?

Im a complete noob on rooting and rom flashing
So not so keen to give it a go.
This guide is fine for setting up Android SDK (ADB):
http://alldroid.org/tabid/40/g/post...fastboot-support-in-Windows-for-the-Xoom.aspx
One note:
Download an updated Motorola USB driver, not the one in the URL.
This one is good:
http://www.motorola.com/Support/US-...tware_and_Drivers/USB-and-PC-Charging-Drivers
Version 5.4.0.
So after you have the SDK up and running on your PC and Motorola USB driver installed (and you do NOT need to touch your Xoom for that), it'll take you 3 min to unlock, flash custom recovery, and root.
Really not difficult.
Where do you guys see it for 249.99?
On their site its showing 319.99. :s
I've been trying to get one from Verizon with the contract price of $300 US, but they told me that it's no longer in production. ;/

Use the Universal Root method from the Xoom Development forums here.
Then install the latest (version 20 as of this writing) of the EOS ICS Nightlies. You won't regret it.
EOS Thread here
After every ROM update, install this gApps package over the top of your ROM to get your google apps back. More info in the thread. Solarnz has it together really well on that.
Hey all!!!
I've made my return to XDA after about a year of using an old blackberry when my last HTCrap broke.. I was so sad without my android I spent time fussing with my iPad Mini and it wasn't the same!
So over the weekend I finally switched from T-Mobile to AT&T and I couldn't be happier with my service (the LTE is FAST!!) nor the phone cause this S4 is such a treat as I'm sure you all know.
So as I try to get settled back into what was the daily XDA grind of helping fellow users and always trying to gain knowledge of our device and anything Android I felt it would benefit me if I could get a jump start in my new community!
I have a few questions that I know I can/will answer myself but I would value all and any input from you guys
So first off... What's gone wrong with the ROOT???? I was so excited when the S3 came out boot loader unlocked already and all... I had even pre ordered that one at one point.. But here it seems there is only a select percent of users who have attained root on their phone? Seems as if we as a community haven't quite unlocked our phones full potential yet!!
My next question stems from that last question. How is the development scene looking for our device?
I know the Samsung legacy has been a very attractive platform for some wonderful developers in the past, and that was something I was looking forward to with the S3 and is still true for my S4! My question is how good is our outlook?
Anyways other than that just little questions I have that I am sure i'll figure out as I get back into it all
Any good apps you guys could recommend that have maybe gained a footing in the past few months?
That's guys and I can't wait to get to start poking around and helping out as our device gets rolling!!!
Cheers!
Matt

Oh and also guys!!!
This is my first Samsung phone I have had all HTCraps ever since my G1 it was all those htcs!!!! So even though I've read lots about the odin and that USB Jig thing and all that from the S2 days and such I don't quite understand what that is and why it is that we have to pay attention to such on our Sammie's... So if anyone could point me in the direction of a good guide to learning that maybe I would be much appreciative!!!
Thanks!!

A lot will depend on which firmware you have. If you have mdl or mdb your pretty much good to go. BUT, take your SIM out now and do some research. If you have mf3 you only can root, no custom recovery or flashing roms.
Edit, and no odin back to stock. Very important to consider.

I would enable the Google keyboard instead of using the Samsung one. It has swipe built in and works better and also recommend setting chrome as the default browser because the stock one is nice but acts funny with the yahoo news widget when reading articles.
