This is NOT for those on 2.1 leak. It is ONLY for those on 1.5 Stock or 2.1 OTA OS version.
This is a Windows Only version. We are porting it to JAVA now for cross platform compatibility.
Major update - Re Uploaded the App
We have brought back the Eris Master App as the Android Master App. It has a new name in preparation for support for more Android devices. We are working on fixing the XP bug where files wont download. Until we get a full fix working, DO NOT USE IF YOUR ON WINDOWS XP Stay tuned for updates. We have also included an Error Log handling feature. If there are any errors, it will try to automatically send us an email with the log file. If it cannot send us the email, the log file will pop up for you so you can get in contact with us and send us the log so we can fix the issue.
Again, if you are on Windows XP, DO NOT USE. We have been getting a lot of email logs from those on XP, and we know its not working, so dont bother wasting your time trying to see if it works.
Download the application from here: http://tinyurl.com/2doknnb then run the self extracting .exe zip file, and let it extract to its default location, which is c:\AMA\ then go into the folder there and run the application. Select a ROM to download, and the Root Image, and Recovery Image, then start the downloads.
If you need any support, it is always available on the IRC server.
You can also follow us on Twitter: www.twitter.com/THE_ECLIPS3
Check the thread and the IRC server for updates.
ECLIPS3 and Jamezelle
- Fixed files not downloading in windows XP a little bit more, full fix in works
- Fixes a few minor bug fixes
- Streamlined the code more
This App is being worked on by ECLIPS3 and Jamezelle
We are now on Google Code. Please visit the page here to let us know of any bugs / errors you get while using the app. It is not meant to help you solve your problem there. That is what this thread or our IRC server is for. The IRC server login info is at the bottom of my signature. A web based IRC server is available through this link.
On step 2, when you get to the part of doing the update. our app will tell you to push volume up to start update. you might also have to push the trackball in as well. the link will say <action> YES. push trackball in to start update.
- Market updates for apps. (coming soon)
We have figured out how to restore apps, and restore market update links, need to roll it into the app, but it is possible. We might even have a way to restore links for those non root. Any other app that does market update links requires root first to backup the links.
UPDATE 5/5/2010
Version 2.1 (released 5/5/2010)
Files are now hosted on http://android.grdlock.net
-Fixed where app wont upload custom rom to phone
-New download links for files
-Ability to download roms via app, instead of including them
-Choose what rom to install easier
-Download of ROOT Image instead of including it
-Progress bar for downloads
-Splash Image install
-Cleaned up a lot of the code
-Many bug fixes
-Made user interaction a lot more friendly
-Fix device not found in app.
-Check if phone is connected to PC. If not, setup will not continue.
-Fixed spelling issue.
We have now finished the core of the Application. What it consists of is a GUI (Graphical User Interface) to make going from 1.5 stock to 2.1 root with a custom ROM installed. There is also an easy way to reboot your phone, enter the recovery mode, and enter the bootloader mode. Finally the third part available in this release is a way to backup all of your applications along with restoring all of them. Currently this is root only. We do have an update coming to backup apps for non root.
For rooting there is a 4 step process. Just go through the steps, one at a time and make sure you read and pay attention to the instructions.
We will be adding more functionality and options to this application. Stay tuned for future updates. If there is an update, just re download the whole app.
Please let us know of any bugs or options you would like to see in the application and we will do what we can to add those in or fix those bugs.
Prereq's for using the application:
You must have Microsoft .NET version 4. Direct Download Link
Then also download the drivers file. Unzip it to your desktop. Follow these instructions on how to install a driver. Select have disc, then navigate to your desktop, inside the corresponding folder, and continue the prompts.
Requests
- Support for other android phones.
- Save Layout and Scenes. (Working on now)
- backup apps for those NOT ROOTED (Have it working. need to roll it into an update)
- Restore email settings for Gmail and HTC Mail (Working on now)
- Download speed for file downloads
- Boot andimations (new name for animations)
- Progress bar for copying files to sdcard
So i tried this out and it works great. It is a really nice addition to the anyones android tool set.
I did notice that once i reinstalled all apps it did take quite a long time to load all of them again... 5 minutes. That was ok though because it saved me alot more time from having to download and install all of them again. I did i reboot too just to make sure.
Thanks a lot for this script!
note: put the scripts in your sdk\tools section on your computer.

Thanks for your feedback. I am working on creating a standalone application for backing up the apps, reinstalling, rebooting, rebooting into bootloader and recovery. It will also be able to install the bootanimation files amongst other things. hopefully i will be able to have it do the rooting process as well. though im not sure how often that will be used considering most have already rooted their phones. if some people would like to vote on those options and let me know what they want as well as requests for other features that would be great.
bootanimation is good and boot image logo like in here, maybe?

Thats not necessarily true, because 'all people' aren't trolling the internet like we are all the time.
So im sure there are people that dont even know we have root access on the eris. I bet there are also a ton of people that dont know what root is and even how to go about it, so an automated system would be a great addition.
Most of the world is not technology oriented. Think of (most)Best Buy shoppers.. hahah (i used to sell computers there) They look for someone to 'deal' with the tech for them.
i may just be a ritard but i plug my phone in to computer with debugged mode on, i have the skd driver thing updated and my sd card is mounted and it says error device not found any idea wat im doing wrong like i said im a ritard lol thanks guys yall do amazing work keep it up!!!!!!

the rom you ported, its a hero rom? thats probably why because i have found that roms that have been ported from other devices have issues with my scripts, which is because of how the rom and its core are built. will try and add that functionality at some point.
for everyone else. these scripts only are verified to work on eris based roms and legend based roms.
Great job! saves so much time and work!
UPDATE: Application is now released. please view first post for more info.
Nice work!

ECLIPS3,
Ok....Well my Eris now has the latest 2.1 ROM and when I ran the program it told me that the ROM installed is older that the one being installed. So if I replace the newer rom in the upload/root folder should I be ok?

Re: [Application] Eris Master Application
Are you on 2.1 leak, 1.5, or 2.1 root? This only works on 2.1. The file in the root folder is the 2.1 root image. In rom folder is custom roms to install. An update will be released today.

Ok..sorry Sir!
Would really be grateful for some advice.
Just purchased my a500 a week ago. Love it, aside from some minor bugs.
Question: had this puppy a week now, running stock 1.104.12 and have not been prompted for any updates. I see from the dev thread newer builds have been released. Tried to follow the steps to manually update, it fails every time. Any way I can force a ota upgrade or anyone available to help me manually upgrade? Will gladly give some paypal love for your time.
(Edit: I asked before I read the instructions the second time and realized my mistake at applying patches. Resolved.)
It's possible they removed all the updates in preparation for the 'biggie' (3.1) that everyone seems to be pinning all their hopes on.
check my sig
I bought two a few weeks ago. One for someone else. That one updated after 2 days, mine NEVER did get an update.
Manual check claims: "Your device is up to date" NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Still on Acer_A500_1.105.01_EMEA_GEN3
I WANT my Exchange functionality ACER!

You are not alone. I bought one in early May and one in early June. The first received the update and the second has not.
After realizing my mistake..
I was able to use the ota update method described in the development section and successfully went to the latest ota update version. Give it a shot, not too hard at all.

It took about 4 hours!
OK, the update itself went relatively quick and painless, but then of course my WIFI died. Took me 4 hours to get that fixed and then YES you do need root and root explorer ect. to get it fixed.
Browser seems to be even more f-ed now. Crashes like crazy. Well, I do have my Exchange support now............

What you did wrong dude ? I own 2 tablets and updated them in less than 5 minutes not each, both of them.
- get the file fit your tablet build version
- decode the file with the tool
- put the update.zip on your SDCARD
- reboot with power and volume down
- wait... 2 minutes
- tablet restart and you are updated.
I don't see the problem.

Let me make your list complete, then you will see the problem:
- get the file fit for your tablet build version
- decode the file with the tool
- put the update.zip on your SDCARD
- reboot with power and volume down
- wait... 2 minutes
- tablet restart and you are updated
- check and YES, new version shows up on your device!
- dance around the room; you have beaten the system!
- find that you have no internet
- find that you have no wifi
- reboot again
- find that WIFI says "error" and cannot be switched on
- reboot
- find that nothing has changed
- browse forums on XDA
- find "fix"
- download two files
- copy them to the required folder
- reboot
- still WIFI error
- figure out that you either have to really override/replace the files or that you also have to set the permissions
- find that you do not have a clue how to set permissions on files
- figure out that you probably have to root the device
- browse XDA
- find program
- download program
- put program on A500
- install program
- run program
- now A500 is rooted
- now try copy action again
- no luck, folder is R/O (read only) which means that the WIFI fix files still cannot be copied to the right folder
- browse XDA and Google
- try File Expert
- No luck
- Try Linda File Manager
- No luck
- Download Root Explorer 2.3.x
- Aha, this one allows for setting permissions and can set the system folder to R/W (read write)
- Bad luck, it is not able to set R/W to any folder deeper (or below) than "system". As the files need to go to System/Lib/Modules, I am still stuck
- browse Google and XDA some more
-find Root Explorers which can be installed via the Market. Bad luck, without WIFI, no market.........
- finally find Root Explorer 2.13.3
- download file. = .zip
- upzip it
- no files in the archive that can be run or can be installed
- ?????????
- lucky try; Rename rootexplorer2.13.3.zip to rootexplorer2.13.3.apk
- copy file to A500
- browse for file on A500
- install Root Explorer (so the trick with renaming worked)
- use Root Explorer to copy the two WIFI fix files AGAIN
- am now able to set the lower level folders to R/W also
- paste the files (that seems to work, no confirmation, no error message)
- reboot A500
- after reboot A500 directly begins to retrieve e-mails
- happy
- look at the clock. Should have been in bed already..........
- decide to set-up Active Sync (which with the new version is now available) and uninstall the e-mail clients that I used before to tacle that problem
- A500 seems to be a bit snappier
- browse the internet on the A500 a bit. Browser crashes to the home screen like crazy (looks like it has gotten worse)
- pissed off, needs more testing
- decide to go to bed anyhow..... it is LATE
Now you understand?
Robin
I understand that you are unlucky ghahahaha
Acer Iconia A500 - number 1
get the file fit for your tablet build version
- decode the file with the tool
- put the update.zip on your SDCARD
- reboot with power and volume down
- wait...
- restart the machine manually...
- get scared to loose all but restart the procedure...
- wait 2 minutes
- tablet restart and you are updated
- check and YES, new version shows up on your device!
- dance around the room; you have beaten the system!
Acer Iconia A500 - number 2
- put the sdcard of A500 number 1
- reboot with power and volume down
- wait... 2 minutes
- tablet restart and you are updated
- check and YES, new version shows up on your device!
and... life goes on like before...
You got unlucky that's it... sorry for you
I got lucky, i guess
No issues with wifi after patching - my first attempt did not work due to me not reading the directions carefully, missed the step where you take the update.zip file out of the unencrypted update file
These are official patches from Acer - suprised they are not aware of this issue? Guess I just got lucky - my update went perfect and my system is much snappier. Right after that I rooted it and have removed a bunch of the bloatware that comes preloaded - this thing is running great.
Now I just want 3.1 so hopefully 720p video can be hardware decoded. Until then, hdrips are fine for me.
New update is up!
Version is : V100R001C00B528G001
http://www.huaweidevice.com/cn/downloadCenter.do?method=toDownloadFile&flay=software&softid=NDEyNTU=
Upgrade How-to
It has all languages android have!
This upgrade need to accomplish 1 upgrade package’s upgrade in the one step below, the file name can’t be revised:
Step1: include UPDATE.APP
- Prepare a formatted Micro SD card which at least has 512MB available space. Make sure your handset is powered off and then insert the MICRO SD card into the handset.
- Make a “dload” directory on SD card root directory
- Copy the “Step 1\ dload\UPDATE.APP” to SD card.
- Long press volume up + volume down + power button on the handset to startup you device until device into upgrade model, the handset will upgrade and shutdown automatically.
- After upgrade success , Restart the handset.
- It will reboot few times.
- Check the Build number is 100R001C00B528G001 . You can see it in “Settings”->”About Phone”..
Possible bugs!
- When the wifi open and screen is off phone reboots.
- Some phone gets imei=0 (please backup your imei)
- Not sure but I have network issues. Sometimes my phone gets "unreachable" state even I have 4 bars.
- There is a widget problem, "The widget loading problem" after each reboot.
- On calls your sound is very husky. You can try to solve changing build.prop "ro.config.dualmic=true" to "ro.config.dualmic=false"
- Some users reported screen lag, freezes and and glicthes.
- Sound (your sound from calls) not very good.
- Widgets get "The problem loading widget" on every reboot.
- Haptic feedback not work on capatitive keys.
Warnings!
- There is no safe way for downgrading.
Downgrading!
I go back to cm7 like this;
- Copy B138 dload to internal memory - This is important.
Power off your phone go to pink screen. Notice: you can't go the pink scren without sd-card. So, after copying dload directory insert sd card.
- Go to pink screen
- In pink screen, I replace all the files from my 2.2 backup. (If you don't do that, downgrade not work. Its failed step 2/2)
- Remove sdcard from phone and start the B138 update like always.
- After installing phone should open normally.
- Once your phone open normally, you can install cwm and flash any rom you want it.
I noticed cwm data backups not works, I don't know why its not worked. Maybe some experience person can explain that to us.
- Please notice, Even if this version worked on my phone, that doesn't mean it will work for you. You can try, I'm not responsoble of anything

my last ever Huawei, their after sales support sucks for every phone, why can Korea make better products than China? Better support, better phones, higher quality, China keep trying and keep failing in the support part of most products for some reason, I can't figure out if its a culture thing or a government thing that makes them not care about their customers

Since I don't think there will be a seperate forum for the SL101, I'd like to request a reference thread with links to all tools and ROMs for the Asus EEE Pad Slider.
It's very similar to the TF101 but it requires support for the built-in keyboard and the sliding mechanism.
So far, the only ROM I found is this one:
-http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1335950
The only tool I found is this one to root:
-http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1345049
I'm still looking for a tool to unroot it actually.
so does the krackd rom really work on the sl101?
How about if you bought the sl101 in Japan and it has a funky japanese keyboard? Will a rom still work ? Or unsafe?
KRAKD is a fantastic rom and from all the info posted does work on the epad slider,however i was getting battery drain with the kernel so i flashed the roach kernel via the UPd8r that comes with Krakd.Now battery life is the best i have had
According to the thread, the Revolver rom has a Slider compatibility pack, so you can use it on the slider as well (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1173230). It says so in the FAQ.
It seems that Kract , revolver, and prime roms all work on the sl101.
I have prime installed on mine.
But can someone please make a rom that can boot from the minisd slot!!! please!
only nvflash roms are able to dual boot ubuntu and if you don't have the sbk your sol.
Since we don't have sbk for sl101, please make it bootable from minisd.
So if i root and install a custom rom what happens when i try and update to an official ics update if it ever comes to our device
Well i went crazy last night and downloaded the ics update for my sl101 and amazingly it works perfect so far.... i only got an hour or so of play time in last night but its amazing. Also vipermod v4.5 works to get root access on it.
I THINK IM IN HEAVEN NOW!!!!
A week ago, I rooted my SL101 with ViperMod Time 4.5 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1427125
For all Sliders owners, I you have the lastest firmware in your Slider (.21) and you want to root it, use that tool, the 3rd option (it uses Nachoroot) and your slider will be rooted in a few minutes. I use Ubuntu but for any reason I didn't work for me, then I used and virtual machine with Win XP and I didn't need anything more (if you use a virtual machine, remeber to activate the USB on the virtual machine when your slider is rebooting)
Now, I've installed Revolver 3.11.1 because I want the voodo audio driver and compatibility with 3G dongles
When Asus releases the ICS source, then I'll update to it.
Does anyone have any news about ICS on our SL101?

You have an official ICS update for the Slider?
I thought Asus only updated the Transformer. But the update package on their website is always compatible with both devices.
So, if you have a slider and you want to use ICS right now, just do the following.
(1) Go to the following website.
ASUS - Eee- ASUS Eee Pad Transformer TF101
(2) Choose android.
(3) Download the latest WW/US/TW/etc. version of ICS there.
(4) Unzip that file. Inside, you will probably find a folder called update. Inside that folder, you will find another zip file. Keep this zip file.
(5) Change its name to EP101_SDUPDATE.zip and place this file in the root of your micro sdcard.
(6) Put micro sdcard into TF.
(7) Turn off TF.
(8) Power on by pressing and holding the power and volume down buttons at the same time.
(9) Once you see some texts on the upper left hand corner of the tablet, release the buttons and immediately press the volume up button.
(10) Watch your tablet upgrade itself to ICS.
Once ICS officially comes out for the slider, repeat this process but use the official ICS for the slider firmware.
How did you setup your slider to do that?

And NachoRoot? Did you try this other method? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1427838
Vipermod uses that method (it copies a file in your tablet and later execute it) but if Vipermod doesn't work, you can try this one It looks a bit long, but in short, install ADB and copy the file in your tablet, execute this file and wait
NachoRoot works on Honeycomb, if you updated your tablet and now you have ICS, then try again with ViperMod and one of the 2 first options.

JELLYBEAN (Added 12 May 2013+)
Q1: Can it be that the wait is over?
Indeed. Some ten months after the ICS update to our beloved SGT7.7 (and the release of JB into the wild), the Jelly Bean (Android 4.1.2) update has finally arrived. As of now, the ROM for Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand, Philippines, and Malaysia (PDA= P6800DXMD3, CSC = P6800OLBMD3) is available; and only for the P6800 (not the P6810). If you device came from the appropriate locations and have an appropriate stock ROM, you should be able to update via Kies. Else, download the file from Sammobile.com (search for "P6800").
The two main methods for flashing the ROM (not counting officially via Kies) are ODIN, and MobileODIN (requires a rooted device before flashing). Instructions for using both can be found here. Flashing with MobileODIN can be done preserving root, which is convenient. I have upgraded my SGT7.7 (Hong Kong model) with the Singapore ROM, using MobileODIN, wiping cache and data (thus losing my old apps, etc.), but preserving root--apparently, doing it this way can help avoid some potential wifi issues (reported in the forums), and battery life.
Q2: What languages are available in the SEA ROM (PDA = P6800DXMD3, CSC = P6800OLBMD3)?
As the ROM is meant for Southeast Asia (Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, Philippines and Malaysia), the available languages are: English (UK), English (US), Bahasa Indonesia, Bahasa Malaysia, Tamil (?), Tieng Viet, Korean and Chinese (Simplified). A workaround for getting additional input languages is described in this post. Alternatively, you can also install swype (from Play Store), which has the option for downloading ton of additional input languages.

ICE CREAM SANDWICH (Added 6 July 2012; edited 27 July 2012)
Q1: Whaa...?
As of the time of posting, the Android 4.0 ICS upgrade is only available via Kies for devices from Austria, and as more recently, Hong Kong. However, it is possible to download a copy of the respective ROMs from sammobile.com--search for "P6800" (3g/wifi version) or "P6810 (wifi only version). The .zip file is 590+MB. Be sure to get the correct ROM as the one for the P6800 will not work on the P6810 and vice versa. The ROMs do seem to work on devices from a variety of countries (not counting the Verizon 7.7). A list of languages supported in the Austria ROM can be found here. See here for discussion of the Hong Kong ROM.
The two main methods for flashing the ROM (not counting officially via Kies) are ODIN, and MobileODIN (requires a rooted device before flashing). Instructions for using both can be found here. Flashing with MobileODIN can be done preserving root, which is convenient. A detailed and guide using ODIN can also be found here.
It is also possible to flash with HEIMDALL--but just make sure that it is not Ver. 1.3.2 (1.3.1 works fine). The main bits: heimdall flash --cache cache.img --factoryfs factoryfs.img --hidden hidden.img --modem modem.bin --recovery recovery.img --secondary-boot Sbl.bin --kernel zImage; then CWM can be flashed with heimdall flash --recovery recovery.img (cgm999)
Flashing the ICS Rom over a STOCK Rom (both rooted and unrooted) preserves settings and most of the third-party apps, i.e., wiping is not required. (All told, this is also probably the safest way to proceed.) Mileage varies if flashing over non-stock Roms. (UPDATE--wintermute000 writes: "...doing a clear data/factory reset in locerra's Clockwork Recovery is 100% safe, the brick bug affects STOCK recovery.
More information on the brick bug and whether it affects ICS on the 7.7; also this.).
Some of the issues involving missing or non-functioning stock apps seems resolved if the a factory reset is done after flashing (settings>Back up and reset>Factory data reset; or when off, hold volume up and briefly press power to access option to factory reset). UPDATE--WildmanJoe writes: "...following a suggestion from another member on the board, I have found that it is not necessary to do a factory reset if your stock apps don't work. Just go to settings>applications and clear the data for the stock apps that don't work. It is tedious, however, it eliminates the factory reset brick risk..."
ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT YOU FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK AS IT IS POSSIBLE TO BRICK YOUR DEVICE (see this discussion, and this.)
See here for a database of successful/unsuccessful upgrade configurations. (Do also contribute your own experience.)
Q2: What's it like?
As anticipated, the tab is way more responsive with ICS rather than Honeycomb. But having said that, ICS for the SGT7.7 does come with Samsung's 'enhancements', which means touchwiz (and no stock ICS Launcher). The Email, Contacts, Calendar ("S-Planner"), Messaging, Clock, etc. apps are also from Samsung. On the bright side, the unable-to-write-to-externalSD problem seems solved.
Q3: How do I modify the looks of it?
As with Honeycomb, an alternative launcher is still recommended (unless you have a special love for touchwiz). Possibilities include the old favorites ADW Launcher Ex, Go Launcher, LauncherPro, etc., but now also including those that only work with ICS and above: e.g., Nova and Apex. Furthermore, you can also install a status bar that looks (mostly) like stock ICS with this mod.
Q4: Can I install stock Google apps?
Search for "Android 4 ICS Calendar", "Android 4 ICS Messaging SMS" and "Android 4 ICS Launcher" by Tim Hutt in Play Store.
Q5: What about the Browser?
A Samsung tweaked version. You can always install Google Chrome (Play Store)--but this one does not work with flash--or Dolphin HD.
Q6: What about the keyboard(s)?
Comes with a Samsung keyboard, swype, and voice input. The version of Swype that comes with the Rom supports a limited number of languages, and there is no option to download more languages. If you want to use swype with other languages, go to the swype website, sign up for a free account, and follow the instructions to install swype beta. Swype beta can coexist with the version of swype that came with the Rom, and allows the possibility of installing additional languages (including Arabic, Korean, Chinese, etc.).
If what you want is the stock ICS keyboard, search for "IceCream Sandwich-ICS Keyboard" in the Play Store.
Q7: Can I root?
Yes and no. To be more precise: a rooted stock Honeycomb Rom can be upgraded to ICS via MobileODIN while preserving root. Update: here is a method to root the ICS rom.
* * * * *
HONEYCOMB (Older version of the FAQ)
Q1: Surely this thing with its speedy processor should feel more responsive?
A: First and foremost, this thing is very speedy and responsive (see e.g., this discussion). Ok, ok, the general consensus is that Honeycomb (Android 3.0) and Samsung Touchwiz (the default launcher) are holding back the otherwise stellar hardware a little. The only solution for the first is to wait for the upcoming Ice Cream Sandwish (Android 4.0) update, slated to be released July 2012.
What can--and arguably should--be done in the meantime is to change the launcher. ADW Launcher Ex*, Go Launcher, LauncherPro, and SPB all options. Apart from being much faster, more responsible and less of a resource hog, they are also much more customizable compared to Touchwiz (search in Market for various themes and icon packs). Some worry that since Touchwiz is not removed (it can't be on stock unrooted rom), it might still be in the background. If you are afraid that it is taking up valuable processor cycles, remove all homescreen widgets on Touchwiz to make yourself feel better, like I did.
*Jade Eyed Wolf has put up a very useful video tutorial on how to use ADW here (the thread is here). To get rid of the top statusbar in ADW, see this.
Q2: Is there a way to make the system font size larger without rooting?
There is an app for that; though this is probably be a better way for the those who have rooted their device (omarrabbat).
Q3: I am unable to write to the external sd card (from within Android) using anything other than the stock file manager; is there something wrong with me?
A: No, you're fine. That's how it is out of the box. The solution requires rooting (see Q4 below) the device and changing the permissions for the sd card. See here. (You can of course write to the sd card with Windows explorer after connecting the Tab to the PC via the USB cable.) Another method for solving the problem is available here; note that you will also need the device to be rooted, and have CWM Recovery installed, beforehand (lowem).
Q4: How do I get root access?
One guide is here; another (with instructions to unroot) is here.
Q5: Why can't I seem to change the lockscreen wallpaper?
Settings>Screen>Screen display>Lock screen. At which point you should be in Gallery (or if, like me, you have an alternative pic viewer--e.g., QuickPic--installed, the dialogue box should ask you to "select wallpaper from"...). Select photo of choice, but make sure to crop with Gallery, and presto. See discussion here.
Q6: How do I get movies and tv shows onto the tab?
See this discussion.
Q7: How do I connect my tab to my PC using a USB cable? Wireless?
Make sure that the appropriate drivers are installed on the PC (e.g., download and install Samsung Kies. When plugged in, Windows should recognize the tab as an MTP device, which allows one to browse both the internal storage and the external sd card in Explorer. The option to convert files as you copy to the device is not a good idea (see this). Best to do any conversion you want on the PC. It's safe to disconnect by simply pulling out the USB cable.
For wireless file transfers (and much more), try Airdroid, which works, and is free.
Q8: What's a good pdf reader for this baby?
There are several good choices: EBookDroid, Repligo, EzPDF, Mantano, Aldiko...

-------------------------------------------------------
Dear Samsung team member, can you please pressure the product team to release an upgrade to this device as the screen fonts are so small its very difficult to use.
I have read in a number of forums that customers are not happy with this problem and some believe that it will be fixed with the release of ICS for this device.
I bought the product with the intention of using it for work and its painfull to read. I really hope something can be done to fix this urgently.
Kind regards

This is good. The original poster noted that the method "won't work for a device that doesn't have CWM Recovery installed." What about your own 7.7: was it rooted and did you have CWM Recovery installed when you use the update.zip?

Not sure.
I've always just pulled my USB cable out. Doesn't seem to be any issue. I suppose it's more proper to effect it on the PC first.
Sent from my GT-P6800 using xda premium
Windows doesn't have an "eject" or "safely remove hardware" option for devices connected via MTP--at least, not one like it does for HDDs, flash drives, or other USB mass storage devices. As long as you're not using the connection it's fine to just unplug it.
