Hey Verizon/Sprint Tab users

Since we are kinda the minority here we really need to stick together. We should start putting a thread together of our wish lists for developers. I feel like we are kinda behind the curve compared to the GSM folks and hope we can get more people involved in CDMa stuff.
Your thoughts.......

Good idea. . . . Just not enough dev in the sgt anyways. I bought my verizon sgt 2 weeks ago in hopes of something fun to flash like a hc port or CM7. I am dissapoint.

Im not concerned with Honeycomb. Waiting for an HID hack for my VZW tab and maybe a few other small things.

I would love to see Honeycomb, but would settle for Gingerbread right away.

Im in too.
Not a dev, but willing to help

I am in as well
I am new to this and willing to learn, and will support with beer funds. I am assuming that the vzw efforts will carry over to Sprint since both are cdma devices. I have my galaxy tablet rooted but have not gone any further as I have not fully understood so many of the posts in regards to which are the better rom to use, the best method of flashing based on the rom, so to avoid any of the big issues..aka not booting etc. I am looking for a really good guide to get started. One that says first and foremost fo this before you start so you can recover you device if you really bugger it up.

I was in the same situation as you up until last weekend, notice I avoided using the "same Boat"
for now the first thing you need to get is Heidmall, dl the stock image and warez for your specific unit. If you need help I have aol and Gmail chat, Pm me for that info.

HID or SPP Verizon Galaxy
I may have found a solution for the bluetooth keyboard issue. "keypro" on the market will drive certain SPP keyboards (not HID) it is a little more to work with than the single verizon samsung option for keyboard use. I am waiting for my freedom universal standard keyboard and keypro is supposed to support it. You can download the program free and see what keyboards it supports. I will let you know when my keyboard comes in. Sorry if I am in the wrong posting area I just signed up so I could share this.

Thumbs up dude!

Im in man we definetly need to stick together. And while I do really want Honeycomb, I NEEEEEEED HID drivers before anything else! Yay for dev's

I dont profess to be any coding expert, and All I really know anything about is the VZW tab at this point. Sprint files are totally different but loading is the same.
VZW people should be on the look out for a new Kernel from Boushh, Im running it now for 24 hours and its a screamer and totally stable. Latest benchmark was 2221.
It should be out tonight or soon after.

Trying to learn basics of coding and all in the upcoming weeks. Hopefully ill be able to contribute down the road. I bought min early January and am very happy so far.. even with a gingerbread/wp7 hd2 on hand..my tablet is used much more. I have heavily layer into the honeycomblayout/theme and just the changeover to khasmeks work and honeycomb density and layout...I've started using much more. Like I said,I'm really pumped to start deving as I know alot of cdma users will benefit from more work coming to the table..when I start getting confident and have things down pat..even then I can't promise it will be as good as what Boushh has done,but at least it will be an attempt at getting more dev for cdma

No Movies for Rooted XOOMs?? Devs unite!

Being that this dev community is the absolute best, I have to bring this to light.
Google Movie Support has just informed me that Google Movies will not work for rooted XOOMs. This just won't fly.
Is there anyone out there working on a fix or workaround for this?
I'd love root. I love movies. We shouldn't have to choose between the two.

I feel ya bro, and I'm pretty sure the devs are already looking into it. Since it is a DRM authorization issue, it is probably going to be a pretty good hack to get around it.

I'm confused by 2 things on this topic:
1) why does it matter if its rooted or not?
I would assume the answers is because root would allow us some magical privledge of copying a cache and possibly extracting video and then redistributing.
2) how the frig can it tell?

My guess is either one of: (1) checking for the ro.secure property being set, or (2) doing something "rootable", like being able to read a certain file/directory, etc.
If in the former case, I don't have an idea of what to do that wouldn't require the HC source, but in the case of the latter, it'd be relatively easy to ... wait- don't let me help El Goog out. It's not rocket science (think rootkit, but in reverse).

Well instead of listening I tried it as well with The Green Hornet and couldn't download it. Kept getting error but these developers will come up with the answers they have been nothing short of amazing when it comes to the Moto Xoom

Assuming scenario 2, wouldn't Super User prompt for permissions? I would think its likely.

This is the same with the blockbuster app on the Atrix. I can set SU to block requests from the app, but as long as I'm running rooted, it refuses to play (and tells you when you launch the app).
I don't understand the difference between this and running Itunes or Netflix on a "rooted" (admin capable) PC. Why is the phone different?

This is not development. Moved to general.

So did you still get charged for it? The wifi version won't even get the movies for awhile. I don't know why Google doesn't have it ready for both.

It isn't very surprising to hear. None of the major studios will allow media to be downloaded without some form of restrictive DRM and root access probably violates their policies.

Yeah, you can order/get charged for it but it won't work. Need to contact customer service to get a refund. They told me they'll consider putting in a warning in the future before you buy it.

Would make more sense for it to check if you're rooted before the transaction goes through.

Nice Google, what a great way to pit the development community against you, even though Android would be nothing without us. Sellout.

Strange, I have unlocked and rooted Nexus One and could play any Netflix video in official Netflix app, so DRM works on rooted system. So may be it's problem with something else?

If you order thru your web browser by going to the web based android market and play it thru your web browser it works.

Thanks for the tip on the browser market thing it works

Lol you're an idiot. It isn't googles fault they had to do this. If you were selling movies and wanted to make some money, would you want them to be distributed for free without your permission? I think not...

Maybe this is what he meant;
How would one port a rom from one brand of tablet to another?
I would like to transplant the Samsung(presumably HC from the g-tab) Rom to the Xoom.
What needs to be modified to get this to work?
Does anyone have any experience with this?
That's the closest I can come to making sense of it.

I think you're close, but close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.
I think what he meant was:

To which the only logical response is:
“You’ve got to be kidding me. I’ve been further even more decided to use even go need to do look more as anyone can. Can you really be far even as decided half as much to use go wish for that? My guess is that when one really been far even as decided once to use even go want, it is then that he has really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like. It’s just common sense.”

Samsung ROM advantages:
1, the video is hard to make me the most satisfactory solution
2, select the wallpaper is the most humane
3, the notification bar with brightness adjustment, and WIFI, notice, GPS, voice, auto rotation, bluetooth, Flight Mode switch
4, UI looks better

Yes it can be done but no one here will do it. You understand me?
Xoom is Android 3.2. Samsung is 3.1. People here do not want to walk backwards.
When Samsung changes to 3.2 then yes it can be transplanted.
What language you speak? Maybe Asian? Me Asian too.

Pity. Motorola can not make such a nice UI user
Sincerely hope that Motorola can produce the perfect andriod 3.x ROM
My side of the plate from China has developed rapidly oh

I am glad to see a “Touchwiz UX for XOOM - Alpha Stage”
As follows：
Hi for all.
Its my port of Touchwiz UX for XOOM in early alpha stage.
Pay attention!
This is not final version, errors and bugs may occurs.
In this first step i make a package of launcher only, apparently fully functional. To test this, u need root and push twlauncher.apk to /SYSTEM/APP. If u dnt like and like to revert, simply remove then and older launcher will be reverted back.
Like my work? Pay me a beer.
new alpha or beta releases will be posted in this thread...
bug reports are welcome..
requests are welcome too...

Our device is a Google device you can add all that garbage if you want then what weeks or months for updates from Motorola. We get our updates pretty much directly from Google, they stop be Verizon first. You will notice the Google logo on the back. I'm pretty sure this is not the case with the device you guys are talking about. So your saying you don't like Google Android... (honeycomb) interface? Hopefully it will be improved when we get ICS.

Dev shopping for music-only ROM idea

I had been thinking of all those who are going to or already have gotten a new phone, but thanks to the development community still love their old Erii. I am going to eventually (as soon as I get a job) switch mine, but I really love my Eris and don't want to see it end up getting tossed out like it's garbage. So I had an idea for a super-light ROM that disables or deletes anything not need for being a fancy mp3 player (read Android version of an iPod Touch).
I had asked Workshed if he might want to do it, and he said he thinks it's a great idea. I think it should happen and so I am asking the rest of the devs to try.
It should :
Be as fast as possible.
Be super stable.
Have (baked in) the WiFi only script.
Be sexy.
If possible, be either ICS or ICS-themed. (optional but would be cool)
If there is a dev that feels like giving it a try, respond here and see what you can do.
I love you all here on XDA. But even more so the development community of the Eris. It's made the using of such an outdated phone bearable and, in fact, enjoyable.

a froyo rom like this was made a year ago.. im surprised nobody has made a gingerbread version.. and honestly for a device thats not a phone.. i could deal with froyo... 2.3 on my touch pro 2 runs so slow...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=979808

I have made my own "music only" ROM based off GSB 4.5 that workshed just released.
basically, I just load the "wifi-only" script via init.d, and have stripped out everything not necessary. The only remaining annoyance is that the signal bars for the cell network still appear in the status bar, just grayed out and with an x over them... I'm trying to find a way to remove the signal bars entirely from the device, and then I will be happy.

Is it not possible to just remove them from systemui. In a sense just remove the actual PNG files.

I'm using xtrROM, because I needed native wma support. I stripped everything I didn't need. I used zeam launcher and put only one screen to avoid the annoying auto scroll from the well known crappy track-ball problem. I underclocked it with setcpu, down to 256Hz with the screen off. Added wifi only script, and I can get about 6 days moderate use and 8 hours of continuous play. I think an mp3 rom is a good idea, but I have already got a good setup. WMA support is a must though.

Futile post, I made a thread with the rom I released.
Called (ROM) Abridged for Music

I'll have to try that one once I get my new phone (soon so don't worry). If it's not fast, I suggest asking workshed for tips, since GSB has speed figured out. It should be really fast if the bloat gets removed, or at least easy to make faster. And as far as forgetting the script, don't worry. All devs forget something from time to time.
Also, if there are any devs working on ICS for the Eris, I would love one of them to try this out, as it could be a simpler "starter version" of their final work and be perfectly suited for this. After all, most ROMs start out really rough, with no working phone or some such problem. In this version, they wouldn't have to work all the major problems out, after all. All we want is to have no phone access, but WiFi. Not even Bluetooth.
However, I have to point out that this thread is for getting devs interested in the project. You should make your own thread for the result, so people can come to you and let you know of issues and suggestions.

OUYA camera

So, I'm waiting for my Ouya right now, should be here within the week, and I'm wondering if anyone has found a camera that works with it. I have a Microsoft Lifecam HD mounted on my 42" HDTV, and if anyone could help me with figuring out how to make it work I'd be eternally grateful. I'd love to be able to Skype and whatnot on my TV without having to use my PC. Also totally unrelated, but how does everyone like theirs so far? I've been seeing a lot of negative stuff about the Ouya, I just basically need some confirmation that it does, in fact, rock.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

Hm I might try to hookup my USB cam to it. I don't know if it works but sideloading a videochat app (Skype?) and trying it out should be fun. Might do it this week.
And I have to say, despite the bad reviews, my OUYA does rock. I already spent 20 dollars on apps and countless hours in front of the TV. Something I never saw me doing ever again.
I don't know what the people are expecting from it. Of course you don't need it if you already have a PS3/360 and/or a Smart TV but some seem to not understand that.
I hope the XDA community catches on to this thing and development speeds up so we can have nice stuff on our TV.
