Use the search button! You will be amazed at the plethora of info that will pop up on XDA and the internet! This question should be in general also. You are not developing anything. This is just a general question!

STFU with telling people to STFU. Also no one needs to know what device you sent your post from.

Don't do anything other than install apps and enjoy looking at content on your Tab. As you find uses for the thing then you may find the need to tweak it in some way. But, many newbies try to put the cart before the horse re: enhancements and end up screwing up something.

oo..ookay!!thnxs

I would install adfree from the market. Gets rid of most ads

I will be posting a howto guide in the near future for some minor tweaks requiring root access that will noticeably improve the overall performance of your device. Subscribe to my youtube channel to stay updated!
UPDATE: Speed tweaks!

okay jade!!will do!!!can u gve me the link of your channel??thnxs~

Idea to make a poll

I do not know whether it exists or not
I just want to suggest to the moderators or developers as possible to make a poll by the chart or anything else
able to ROM, Kernel, Threads, etc.
so it helps us all see the ups and downs of something based on it and vote for the beginner to find out .. :fingers-crossed:
thank you

Wut?

yes yes yes

I don't understand?
What poll do you suggest?
Sent from my E15i using xda app-developers app

Yeah, its a good idea.
Its a lot better than new users creating a new thread & asking the best ROMs available..
It serves as a good informal guide to using ROMs according to their personal requirements.
Hope the Mods do it !:fingers-crossed:

like I said chris..
poll for
ROM, thrad, member activities, and so on

Right!

It is a bad idea to compare ROMs as is impossible to judge which ROM is best as everyone has different preferences. You can only say which ROM has the most features, is the most lightweight, is the most beautiful etc.

it's like they are saying that xda dev make a sort of poll that will show which is best rom/kernel to prevent the asking of similar question maybe it would be a good idea

We have plenty of helpful threads and FAQ and still nobody reads them. I mean noobs.

It's like asking "Lets have sticky notes pasted everywhere around a school so students won't ask teachers any questions" while there's a mountain load of useful books and notes on the student's table

agreed! that sure is what they want to do

Calling all developers

Mamy of us want to learn how to cook a Rom or create Themes...
There are threads which teach how to do it but they concentrate only on that specific phone
Would be great if someone can make some time and create a thread explaining everything in detail
Just a request....

That's because every device is different. The only device-independent theming method is the T-Mobile theme engine included in CM7 and CM9.

So those who do Themes and Cook Roms for NOTE..
How do they do it..
I checked framework.res which will have all theme related imagea...so i open them and edit it to my wish..
Replace them with original and make a zip using 7zip and rename it as framework.res? ??
So if someone can just give the basics for this phone..
Ill try to sum it up and put it in one for others..

I too wish there was some straight forward step by step instructions for simple theming - i.e. battery, signal mods. Used to be so easy with metamorph or uot kitchen.
I have rocket ROM with mini-dark theme by trinev but am totally lost on how to change my battery & signals. Don't understand why it suddenly has become so difficult

Hate to say it, but its not a modern os. Its oldschool coding www.xda-developers.com/android/sage-advice-from-cyanogen-still-valid-today/

Right.
One of the reasons I'm not sharing my N00B.ROM (on XDA or any other web forum) is deodexing, zipaligning and tweaking little bit is not development. I had asked Original_Ganjaman in March if I could write a guide in dev section but I'm still holding.

I totally agree...
But learning java and working on a linux based pc is not piece of cake either..
For example...i am a 20year old learning Multimedia and Animation
I know nothing about coding other than HTMl basics...so learning to build my own Rom would not be an easy task..
So working on a already built rom and tweaking it with some visual graphics is what i can do...
That is why i am asking for a small guide for Theming a Rom and some basics as to how to make it work...

style libraries for android apps

Hello,
here is my favorite website for android developing, if i need cool features. It has a lot of links for good librarys and preview images. It's a nice collection.
If you have other nice collections or a link to a library, post it here
http://www.androidviews.net/
Very easy and nice to use is: (i have used it)
http://www.androidviews.net/2013/03/swipelistview/
and
http://www.androidviews.net/2012/11/sliding-menu/ (google+ menu)

Check the other thread ... it's pretty much the first one mentioned

Check out "Libraries for developers", it's an app with many libraries and examples.
