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!).
Good morning,
I recently ordered a new KF, and am planning on rooting it/etc, but am new to modding anything other than my Android phone.
Any tips or tricks that can be provided would be much appreaciated, it seems like there burrito root is pretty easy, but anything to watch out for etc?
Thanks!

make sure you understand all the steps . and do it in 1 row, not like me i did it in 4 days. And look if all the files are in the root-manual. do not download them from google etc. big chance for virus's
root-manual?
I would recommend KFU.... try to get a liliputing video guide... or rootzwiki. Hope this helps sorry I do not have any links.

Its really not to hard. Just go slow and follow each step as outlined in one of the many guides. Check the stickies and read them through to make sure you know what you are doing before hand. Also be sure to make a back up right away in case something happens. Finally dot freak out if something does go wrong because the kindle is pretty forgiving and able to be unbricked.

If you have any problems search the forums for your problem and spend a little time reading.
I will bet you any amount of money you problem has been discussed hundreds of times.
I have seen people post threads stating "OMG My Kindle Is Broken help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
And there will be 2-3 threads on the first page that had they spent 5 minutes looking could have solved their problem.
if you want to use a custom lock screen which is pretty cool, read my thread here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1497383
Ok so first and foremost, I own a samsung captivate, so I know a little about android. I've rooted it.
Now I'm looking to enter the tablet scene. Being a college student, I'm looking for cheap ones lol. I've seen a video on youtube with someone running cyanogenmod 7 with working sound on the kindle fire and so i found that to be my best bet on getting the most out of a cheap tablet.
reading up on the rooting for the KF, I found people with version 6.2.2 to have met a lot of issues.
I Plan on ordering one later this month, so I'm putting my guess on it'll be in the latest version (6.2.2) and that gives me the caution that makes me write this post
anyways what are your (the experts from XDA - being anyone not me) thoughts, and advice for me to avoid bricking and ruining a 200 buck investment (or perhaps 180 if i get refurbished)?
i bought kindle fire when the 1st time it released. during that time, superoneclick is the utility to root, now with new firmware, we can use burritoroot.. so far i haven't heard total bricked issue (i think so). common problem usually bootloop, stuck in bootloader. etc but all can be fixed... i think no need to be afraid. i already root, unroot, install various recovery, backup, restore backup, etc and not a single problem.
if u want to install cm7, that is a good choice but some minor bugs still exist but so far cm7 is most stable compare to other custom rom (except "custom stock" rom)..
The Kindle Fire is a great choice. I have two (one for my wife) and have loved every minute with them. I ran the factory rom for all of 2 weeks before rooting and eventually settling on CM9. I really enjoy the ice cream sandwich version despite the minor bugs. These are very quickly disappearing as the wonderful devs are pounding away the code to make our life better.
So as a college student get a kindle they are cheep and I have found to be very robust. Then quickly ditch the horrible and limited kindle rom. CM7 or CM9 is a fine choice you will be happy with your sweet tablet. I get comments on mine all the time.
Awesome, you guys are reassuring me with making this purchase.
I'm quite intrigued by the comparison of CM7 and CM9.
any personal opinion on the difference? (I'm watching youtube videos now, but I like cutting down false feedback from trolls in the comments lol.)

CM7 is stable and work flawlessly for me
CM9 is (yet) in experimental phase
If you want to make experiments with your rom, take CM9
If you just want to flash rom and forget about it, take CM7
I have no problem helping people out, and I hate to be the prude who calls you out, but there are tons of threads just like yours already in the forum which people have already answered. Basically you want a tutorial, which there are many of in the forums, but you instead made a new post. In the future, spend more than 5 minutes in the forums before calling out for help.
Nothing to it, see sig. Plenty of threads to help. Search and yea shall find, or browse a little.

._. I've done research for about 3 days...
As stated, most stuff Read up on was about version 2.2.1 which people used burrito1 for.
after KF was updated, I ran across the instructions to use burrito2 or 3, in which case upon searching, 3/4th of the posts found was "I'm having problems"
I simply wanted to take an extra precaution before making a big jump in a budget... I apologize if that seemed redundant to the people who take the time out to aid people like me, but I assure I thank you all regardless of this point ^^ .

good point. The price point on the KG has brought a flood of noobs who don't understand forum etiquette. And there are plenty of posts that offer bad help. I am like you and spent five days reading and bookmarking and rereading. Do all the root with adb and not the scripts is my best advice. Good luck.

A real noob here. Will be receiving a N7 32gb for Xmas. Is there a decent reference/how to book for a first time tablet owner and specifically an N7 owner? Thanks
Just search here in xda for any questions that you have and ask around. You can also search the internet with any questions you may have. Alot of my questions regarding my N7 i found here.

The Nexus 7 comes with a guidebook. When you first log into your device you will see the guide book. It will give you basic knowledge of the device.
As for other questions just search this forums. Cause I'm sure the question has been asked before. If you don't get a case with it for Christmas. Don't forget to buy a really nice case for it.
Maybe even try to get a screen protector for it if you can.

Welcome!
Welcome and great choice.
For a noob, this thread has tons of videos.
Nexus 7 Reviews and Tips Videos
Don't mean to beat a dead horse but here is my two cents....
It depends what kind of info you are looking for. If you simply are looking for info on how to use a tablet in general the included nexus 7 eBook is your best bet. If your looking for more in depth info, or wish to do more with the device (root, ROM, etc.) Xda is your best friend. The nexus 7 was my first device EVER and with the help of these forums I am now running full linario-andriod and working on developing my own custom Roms. I highly recommend reading around the forums for more info if your interested in learning more about the all the things you can do with this device, but it can be somewhat overwhelming if your not into it. Sorry to over-answer your question just thought I would clarify previous posts.
Hope you enjoy your nexus 7... I know I have
