many thanks
Do you have any experience with Windows Mobile or is this your first pda?
In general I can recommend you to check out some cool sites and download software to get used to your pda and how it works. One of my favourite sites is pocketpcmag.com - in the best sites section the have tons of links to good sites in many languages.
If you don't understand what people are writing here, don't flash your pda unless you are sure what they are talking about. I read so many threads where people "bricked" their pdas and don't know how to get it working again.
replie thanks
thanks will check the site out its my first phone/pda i feel the need to learn i can do the norm install software to the device but curiosity killed the cat little knowledge IS BAD ive made mistakes in the past and lernt my lesson but still very eager
My own experiance is that sometimes you need to take an educated leap of faith - I am no technical genius but I have an XDA running B&B 4.1, ripping DivX movies to TCPMP and changing my Splash screen.
Pretty much this is all thanks to the great work done on this site - First I suggest yuo browse, read what people are saying, look out for the pit falls (make sure you run USPL before flashing any new ROMs) but more importantly share you experiances and questions - people on the forum are always keen to help
Hey guys, I've been following the Adam for months now and have only seen the video from Longbox for comics, I was wondering if anyone had posted a video of comics on the Adam that I haven't found yet. If not could someone post a video of it? I was hoping for something along the lines of Arkham Asylum or Ultimate Spider-man.

Sweet! Thanks a lot dude.
Btw, Did you put a bunch of videos up on YouTube under this username? I liked them a lot, they helped me decide to buy an Adam now instead of waiting months more!

Wait...those videos were you... very nice job!

yup those were all mine
Cool man! These videos are some of the best and self-explanatory I've seen so far (even if they make the wait for Adam tougher and tougher).
I just registered here so "Hello World", I'm pretty excited to finally made up my mind and join this community. I've always read a lot about xda and admired you guys!
I hope to become involved in hacking and development as i love Android (beginner developer on it), I'm a computer engineering student and I work as a Java developer.
If I' allowed to on my very first post, I'd have a request/suggest for you.
Have you tried to sideload Worms for Android?
It's out for a while now and I love it (always loved Worms since the firsts versions when I had to run it from dos).
Although, nexus one screen is way to small for it! I wonder if it can run on my yet to ship Adam and how.
I've purchased it from the Android Market, it really worth the money.
It's wonderful to see lots of apps I mean to install on Adam already working pretty good on yours. Can't wait for mine to be shipped on 14th and start developing for it.
Cheers

thanks! i try to show something new or interesting, hence why i didnt post an unboxing video (i did make one lol). but i have another cool video that i'm processing and putting together. i searched youtube and i havent found any related videos and i think this video was something everyone wanted to see first despite a recent press about it.

Let me guess? Battery life?
Are you willing to give a shot (literally) to Worms? If it runs good on a big screen you're gonna love it!
I've purchased it, not sure how to do it but maybe I can provide you the apk for testing purpose..
nice post inspiron, good to see a nice FREE app is available for comics on the android and looks great running on the Adam. I'd also like to see how well comic reader mobi, jjcomics, and MangaWhat or Mango fare on the Adam (I'll be able to find out around beginning of next month when my Adam is delivered!).
Note to MOD: Please move it to the relevant area if this one is wrong, I tried to find the best section, but I could be wrong!
Hey guys,
I'm the developer of the game Walkabout for iOS and Android. You can see more about it at my thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961325
I'm going to start posting tutorials on development, including pro tips, and explanations on how various part of the game were coded. This is for BEGINNERS totally new to making apps AND EXPERTS.
If you're a coder or interested in making games follow me on twitter at:
http://www.twitter.com/base2solutions
I will be tweeting links to tumbler with tutorials and sample code I have posted. I want loyal followers so in no way will you be spammed with 'buy this buy that' except a tweet every week on an update with any games I may be working on.
I have approx 1200 followers from various forums who are on the list, as well as about 20 Corona developers who's tutorials I will retweet.
Again, this is about development, and helping those new to making games, as well as hardened developers with tricks and shortcuts.
Please DONT message me asking to tweet about your games or apps. We want to tweet quality posts and keep followers not annoy the hell out of them! I dont know about you but i'm sick and tired of a tweet ever 3 seconds about some new game! I dont want to fill your twitter page with rubbish!
First tutorial will go out later today Come join in!
Instead of repeating all the beginners tutorials out there, I've pointed to a few and switched direction to a series of tips and tricks for corona. These are things not documented anywhere else!

Does this forum have a sleepless ninja?
Let me explain: I am currently looking to buy a tablet for college and I am looking to get the most out of my tablet for my studies, for enjoyment and for understanding in this technological realm. Now, to me it is between the Xoom and the Galaxy Tab 10.1, and all signs point to the tab. Better screen, lighter, thinner, newer, faster etc. etc. (even the disadvantages, HDMI/USB/SD Card don't bother me as I don't really use any of that) But the Xoom has that one intangible, sleepless ninja. He shows xoom owners how to do this, how to do that and I just think the advantage of having a walk through is so high on my list that it might out weight a lot of the advantages the Tab has. Its this guy that is keeping me drawn to the Xoom, so I ask you either A) Does this forum/ community have a dedicated man like this? or B) Does anyone know if one is coming or if I did decide to get a tab would one be liked?
Yes it is a noob-friendly thing but, we were all noobs once right?
At the moment the GT10.1 is running stock version of Honeycomb, stock being the "pure" OS form no 2nd company has added anything or altered the software, this is important to know. This being said the stock version does not have "guides" or a "sleepless ninja", it will however guide you through the initial process of signing in to your accounts like Google or push email accounts.
With this being addressed Samsung does have a "layer" that goes over the "stock" Android OS and this is called Touchwiz. Samsung has not implemented this yet for their own reasons but has recently announced that it is coming "soon" as a download update. This Touchwiz may have your "secret ninjas". Touchwiz being their own creation may have "ninjas" to help explain and show all the new "bells" and "whistles" and abilities that Touchwiz will be able to do. Unfortunately like I said before Samsung has announced that is will be coming soon so till then it is the stock non "ninja" OS.
On a personal note I find the stock Honeycomb Android very intuitive and practical.( so much so that I cannot wait for the Touchwiz version ) Also I find the exploration to be half the fun Also there are TONS of websites that help you discover anything you need to know about Android on the webz and of course here in XDA. Although many do get a bit .....annoyed....some times with repeat questions someone will most usually scrape some patience and help you out, I will say to use the search option most generously though I have had my GT10.1 for over a week now and love it I am by no means a wiz but thanks to many here I am "Sleepless Ninja" free! Good luck with your choice and have fun learning.

I do agree that the search feature needs to be used and I did. Now, I thank you for your response BUT if you had read my post you might have seen the link to sleepless ninjas website. Sleepless Ninja is a real physical person, sleeplessninja.com. The Xoom doesn't have a "sleepless ninja" embedded either, what it has is a man dedicated to trying to help out the community, with tutorials, video how-tos and so on. I was wondering if the Tab community has that same type of person or group of people who go out of their way to help the community. I am a visual learner and so videos are something I enjoy seeing as I think they help. If this is what someone here has I would love to see it.

Hahaha its very early in NY. I ABSOLUTELY missed that. I did root my GT10.1 through XDA but it was through here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1131448
I used odin to root and I am able to odin back to stock. No video that I know of yet, sorry. I am an idiot. If I come across what you are looking for (now that I know) I will post here. Good luck and sorry I wasted your time
Not yet but I vote you! Get crackin!

I don't really see the point of this "real physical person" online. We have tons of threads dedicated to helping newbie and seriously though, most of what's applied to the XOOM will also work on the Tab as they both run stock-enough HC.
But if you can't be bothered to do a little googling/searching, maybe the XOOM and sleeplessninja are best for you.

More than anything else it is the videos that I like. I remember and understand things when I see them performed and videos to me give me that edge to be confident and know enough about what I am doing to actually jump for it.
Now,that being said the preponderance of threads, guides, walkthtoughs and the like here leaves little to be desired but curiosity did get me and, for the most part, the helpful nature of the people in this forum has shined through.
@OP
If you're buying a tab based on the degree of handholding available, the iPad is the best bet currently. Ideology aside, it has the best ecosystem, the best stable of apps, and the best peer-support, if based on size of userbase alone.
I understand, though, that ideology, or at least philosophical outlook, is pretty important. It's why XDA exists, after all, else we'd all be nibbling at S. Job's toes by now.
Then, on the issue of "durability" of peer support, none of the current Android (or RIM, or TouchPad) is a good buy. Reason is that part of the first wave of 'droid tabs have yet to show. And after that, there'll be yet a second wave of tabs before the year is out (hopefully outfitted with ICS). In short, there will be a deluge of tabs, each of which will have its little pool of users, and all of which will have very short lives. Does not bode well for that elusive "Sleepless Ninja" to pop into existence.
These, as compared to one big homogenous iPad collective. If your field is statistics, there's no contest.
But perhaps you favor fictional literature, where we can be the few Merry Men against the iHorde innumerable. Oops, getting my 'phores mixed with my phives here.. Anyway, there is an advantage to be a big frog in a small pond. Indeed, it can be YOU in that most epic '84 Apple commercial, taking a mighty swing against the faceless collective!
Yes, I hear you say, "Let me be the one, the Sleepless Ninja, the Hammer of Justice!" And I say, go forth, and make your mark! And we all say, yay, for our Sleepless Ninja is nigh!
Cheers for the OP, our new Sleepless Ninja! Here's a Thank to get you on your way. Now, get the hell to work, and let me know pronto when that custom ROM is done!
NO SLACKIN!
Hey guys, looking through the various threads in general, and development I see so many people with questions from the basics up to the most complex stuff. I was thinking of doing a series of videos that go step by step through the basics and beyond to the most complex stuff. Would anybody be interested in a series of videos like that? I just ask cause I don't wanna spend all that time doing them to get nobody watching them. And if you guys have specific questions you'd like to see on there feel free to give your ideas/comments.
Thanks for your opinions and ideas
i think its great! I would like step by step to updating unoffical updates ie 3.1/3.2
WiFi root would be good. The Xoom is my wife's. Life would be so difficult if I bricked it.
MZ604 walkthrough would be perfect. im a noob when comes to rooting and i dont want brick mine xoom because im not sure about guides. show everything step by step, and give direct links to apps on rapidshare etc. will be soooooo grateful.
Informational videos are always apprieciated! Most people willing to learn will definately watch them. Let us know!

I'm sure they will help people who otherwise couldn't get the full potential from their devices

great thanks for the reply guys I'll get to work on a few basic videos for now.... rooting, ect ect. Gimme a day and I'll post a few
cool will look forward 2them
I would love to see a walkthrough of going from fully stock 3.2 (WiFi Only Xoom) to rooted and running a Tiamat 3.2 kernel or ROM.
Hell if someone could explain the difference between a kernel and ROM that would be a great start.
I know there are many "how to's" and "idiot's guides", but for me actually seeing someone do something is so much easier to understand. There are always little steps or tricks that get left out of written instructions that a video would be great. There are just as many "help my Xoom is stuck in a boot loop" or "help my Xoom is bricked" type posts that obviously this type of walkthrough would be helpfull. I know I would appreciate it. I have read many of the step by step guides and am still apprehensive of making that jump.
