Any Aria users that have tablets too?

I know this is an Aria forum, but I have a tablet question. Are there any Aria/Liberty/Gratis/Intruder users in this forum that also use Android tablets? We are considering gifting one and wonder how they perform in terms of reliability. A friend has the Coby one and gets force closes often and AppsLib sucks.
My last Intruder was a Grumman A-6E.

Funny... I was searching on ebay for one of those a minute ago. I believe they operate reliably. But I would deffinitely go with one that runs Froyo, less chances of finding bugs.

I am using my Gtab to send tis, as my Aria Tethers me to a connection here in the mountains of the Poconos. Its ony at EDGE speeds, but it works for now. I love my GTAB. The hardware is impressive, save one item. Its downfall is the LCD screen. It has bad viewing angles in Portrait mode. Other than that, I have since turned my laptop on twice in the last two weeks since I got the Tablet.

I have a GTAB too. The thing is junk out of the box but killer after switching to a different Rom. Look in the G Tablet forum on here and do some research. I like it because I'm already familiar with the Android system and how it works.

This is exactly why I went with the gTab. Plus the cpu makes the gTab a device that will be around for a while longer than most portable devices running Android

I have a Coby (rooted with gapps and the new android market installed).. It is a little slower than what I'm use to, but i have not have many force close issues or than with ADW themes..

What did you guys pay for your G-Tabs? $400? Did you get it locally or from Amazon?
I'm pretty interested in it, but with all the newly-announced tablets at CES, I'm wondering if I should hold off.

I'm going to wait for a suitable htc tablet, like the so called "htc scribe"
I like htc

I did get it locally, but I only paid 319.99. Heh, I was able to negotiate the sears rep at the store down from 400 by telling him I was just going to buy it online and pick it up since I could get it for 380. He then did some numbers thing and viola! It was on m receipt for 320

i would get the Nook Color, but i'd like to have camera and GPS for road trips. would be nice to play around with Google Maps and navigation on a tablet.

I was all set to buy a Nook Color for rooting, then a friend on another forum told me that he had returned his because the edges of the screen were not sensitive to touch at all. That worries me... you had any issues with that anup?

Sorry for the late reply... I don't have problems at all with touchscreen unitl my hands get sweaty (I know it's gross). When that happens the screen becomes unresponsive and I have to lock and unlock the screen. Then it's all better!

I ended up getting a Nook color yesterday. Had it rooted within 30 minutes. I'm using Zeam as my launcher and I really like it. This Nook has to be the best Android tab for the money if you ask me.

Noob 2b ... why SD?

Was waiting for some craigslist possibles to come through, but no luck. Off to B and N soon to bite the $250 bullet.
I'm pretty sure I have no use for stock configuration/apps (actually setting it up for 13 yr old birthday gift). Plan is to go straight through the CM7 on EEMC thread, including partioning. Don't understand why I'd want to fiddle with running off SD?
Any tips or gottchas would be appreciated! Ohh, cana CM 7 NC use a bluetooth GPS? Got an old one from my Treo days...

For me it was to familiarize myself with CM7 and the process of flashing prior to messing around with internal OS partition. I was also concerned that I would have problems restoring to stock if I needed to have the warranty honored. (Obviously these two no longer, since I'm running CM7 on EMMC quite happily). Also, some people don't want to invalidate warranty in case something happens to the Nook hardware and they have to return/exchange it. There are people here who prefer nootered stock over CM7, as well, or want the B&N native reader so run dual boot setup with CM7 on SD and stock as alternate boot on EMMC.

If you get a blue dot nook and intend on installing CM7 on emmc, then you do need to do the repartition. I've heard various info on whether or not people with blue dot Nooks can boot from SD (haven't kept up with that thread), but if you are able to boot off SD on a blue dot Nook you shouldn't have to do the repartition unless you are installing to EMMC.
My nook was not a blue dot.

Probably too little too late, but if you get your NC from Best Buy or Walmart, you stand a better chance of getting an older device without the blue dot.

Thought about that, but didn't think the partition would be to bad. As it turns out went to B and N and she was pretty up on "if you're a techie." When she handed it to me, I said so this is the blue dot? She said yeah we have some of the old ones if you want... so I'll skip that first re-partition step.
Also got to play with the new I ink, touch screen, reader. Nice! Interesting their pricing is $139 compared to a Kindle I saw at Wmart for $112. Side note, I did get a 3G kindle, new from craig's list for $118. Thinking that will be the go to device for "reading" especially at pool or beach.
I asked what the price of the NC used to be, and she said it's always been $250, but they where able to keep it up because of the Froyo update! So maybe I should have got a discount!!!

Wish I had known about the Best Buy/Walmart connection

Yikes! Listen:
I have an HTC Desire, an HTC Desire HD, a Sony Tablet S 32GB, and an ASUS Transformer TF101 32GB (all that Android junk, you know.)
Yeah, I also have a lot of other stuff, including an iPad2 (wife's gadget), and a couple of unlocked iPhones. Not bragging, no. Just mentioning so that you'll get the complete picture here.
This Kindle Fire thing is an incredible deal for $200! (The Amazon refurb promo for $150 last week was just CRAZY.) It's great fun! Root= super easy, and with Paul Obrien's MoDaCo ROM right now: The graphics are seriously sharp and simply excellent, the network access is stupid fast, and I am having a ball with it.
There are a couple of limitations, no bluetooth and no microphone. But for watching downloaded movies and playing games with the kids n stuff, XLNT!
Enough?
If you aren't messing with one of these right now, you just aren't just missing something, you're missing IT.

The lack of an external SD is a bummer but, using wifi tether and wifi file transfer on my phone it is possible to use the SD card on my phone as additional storage. It is also possible to create shared directories on your pc that the fire can use.

That's because it probably is. The 'auto-update' glitch bricked a ton of KFs. (Like this: Unzip the Amazon box, unwrap the cellophane, turn the puppy on, then watch it happily hang on auto-update= el Bricko bumstick.)
Unhappy customers sent them back in droves. Amazon techs simply updated via mini-usb connector, (takes 20 seconds) then shipped them back out as refurbs.
Brand new, and a fantastic deal!
Oh yeah, they also have to dump all of their inventory to get ready for the KF2.

Sort of. HK rumours last week, legal dept. staff Inter-consult w/ Foxconn & Cather, (the blank & MB manufacturers) say: 9.7", active bezel (gorilla & long range wifi?), quad-core sized HS, slim over-sized custom battery, with SD slot and side mount volume control holes. (In HK, parts-is-parts, if you catch my drift.) Taiwan has had the finished item running for quite a while, doing Amazonia software polish atm. Probably trying to keep it from getting rooted the very first day of release.
Anyway, "...goes gold in about 6-8 weeks." means that I am certainly not holding my breath waiting for it. No more update glitches this time I'm sure.
Oh, the previously mentioned $139 deal went history about 8 days ago, and I do wish I had gotten a couple more of them. The kids pass this thing around in the car like a box of Smarties. Industrial strength, even the 3 yr old gets her mitts on it.
Big fun.

This is going to be a great Tablet. $170 refurbished, with a warranty. Great deal, and I'm buying a $17 starter kit.

Happy with this Tablet.

Got one during the refurb sale, and I'm finding its lack of storage somewhat limiting. I have a dropbox and sugarsync account that helps, it just would have been nice if I could have dropped a 16gb sd card in there.

New firmware for the HD+

So, I looked at my HD+ this morning. It updated the firmware. First thing I saw was an ad in the notifications. Didn't B&N advertise the HD/HD+ as having "no annoying ads"?
Additionally, the book I was reading was back at page 1 when I opened it. Good thing I had a bookmark. How hard is it to save the page I was on before rebooting with the new firmware?
Sent from my Infuse 4G using Tapatalk 2.

Could I please ask, what version is the firmware? 2.0.4 has been the most recent version for quite some time now, and is the version I'm using. It doesn't have any ads anywhere across the device. However, I'm assuming you have something more recent than 2.0.4.
Indeed, yes I see your frustration. I would definitely be if I didn't place a bookmark in a page.
Could I ask, is your Nook HD+ rooted, and Google Play installed, with a different launcher than the stock? If not, I would totally recommend it. I wasn't fond of the idea of rooting and so on, but after doing so, I'm now able to enjoy many of the Android apps and features; especially games such as Angry Birds which is originally free (you have to pay for it from the B&N store).
After rooting, I'm not the only user of the tablet. Haha, I'm not even the main user, my Dad, and brothers are. (I actually gave the tablet to my dad)

It's 2.0.5, check at the end of the thoughts, tweaks and hacks thread. Should be close to this one.

I'm not currently rooted. I have sideloaded apps. But a week ago my Nook mysteriously reset and I haven't sideloaded apps back to it. I will once I find my flash drive with my Linux/adb environment (boot able flash drive). I'm too lazy to make adb work on Win7.
I have CM7 on my Nook Tablet, and Paranoid Android on my phone so I'm not a stranger to rooting.
Sent from my Infuse 4G using Tapatalk 2.

So. The new firmware isn't the cause of the ads. I bought an app from BN.com and it is the cause of the ads. I paid money and it's showing ads.

Um, which app? Be nice to know which one's acting up

Unblock It. Game is decent entertainment. Worth the $2 I spent, but I uninstalled it because I think PAID software should be ad free. I wouldn't mind ads if the app was free.

Kindle Fire hdx Rom development??

Anybody know any rumors / talk of someone working on a stock android Rom for this?? Or kit Kat even... I'm definitely not interested in Fire OS in the least bit.
Thanks
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

Bootloader is locked meaning no customs roms until then unless you go with the safe strap method and from what I seen people are having problems with memory and some crashing of the problems and if you have a 8.9 hdx safe strap is not supported but I have faith in this community and belive we will have roms in the future
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app

Really? Because there's already root tutorials in kindle fire hdx > android development.
Unless those are "safe strap"? Idk I didn't look into it too much because I don't have the kindle yet (got it for Xmas I'm pretty sure lol)
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

So custom ROMs are totally possible, and I'm sure there will be one or two soon, but the issue as stated above is the bootloader is locked. This means no custom kernels which means no AOSP ROMs. This currently rules out Cyanogen, AOKP, Paranoid Android, everything like that. Everything will be Fire OS based until the bootloader is unlocked. Before yesterday there wasn't even working Play Store downloading. Progress is being made, and the bootloader could be unlocked in a couple weeks, or it may never happen. Until then you just got to stick with what we've got, which is pretty nice as far as I'm concerned. The hardware is quite nice, and with a custom launcher and Gapps Fire OS isn't terrible.

Thank you! Good to know

Well, i have one based on stock almost ready With all amazon stuff removed and full google experience. I still have a few noob problems but i think it shoud be ready after christams.
Also note that any rom could be ported even CM thanks to safestrap. The kernel is not a problem. Im not sure i'll have the time to do so but if so i'll prove it

these companies are getting better at locking them, and there is less and less incentive for people to break them. look at the bounty thread.. only 145 bucks. i have a Moto X which is over 1000 dollars and that still hasn't gotten cracked. i wouldn't hold on to the kindle hoping it will get cracked... if i didn't have amazon instant i would probably send this thing back (i may anyway, as i'm having wifi issues)

Even if the boot loader didn't get unlocked working google play and a custom loader or exposed is all you really need and all are somewhat working now. I have almost every tablet ever made in this household. Nearly all have boot loaders either bypassed or broken. Already the 7 inch boot loader has been bypassed on this, a new device. The truth is the more popular a device is the quicker it is modded. If sales are high on this device it is likely to get dev attention. Try not to be such a Debbie downer

Recon that! If only we could have working widgets and some fully working alternative launcher .. Play store doesn't bother me that much, since I get all the apps either from an alternative store or I download them on my phone and sent them to the tablet, so no big deal till now.

Well the device was a gift I can't just bring it back.
Basically Amazon banned me for some dumb ass reason literally like my neighbor got in trouble so now I can't use it. and when I try to buy **** on the kindle I can't use that store either so I am praying that there is some type of movement on the boot loader because otherwise this going to be one expensive paper weight.

I'm not sure you are following. 1mobile market and or side loaded apk's along with a custom loader bypasses all of what you just said right now. Also, in the last few days, the play store has even been made to download on both the 7 inch and 8.9. In other words go to the general section and read, root, and install working play store on kindle and then use apex and wallpaper fix with widgets and you basically have a Google tablet with an Amazon options bar. As people get exposed framework going it will get even better than that. Boot loader crack is not necessary to make this a Google tablet. As for pure Google well that would be great for some, or cm 10.3 for others but in the end all of that is really just ui and a few options. The necessities of downloading from Google market and some customization can all be accomplished right this second. I have very few apps from Amazon on my tablet in fact. Most are Google market apps. As the bright boys spend more time with this tablet it will become even easier for the less experienced users to accomplish these things as well.

I'm not sure you are following. 1mobile market and or side loaded apk's along with a custom loader bypasses all of what you just said right now. Also, in the last few days, the play store has even been made to download on both the 7 inch and 8.9. In other words go to the general section and read, root, and install working play store on kindle and then use apex and wallpaper fix with widgets and you basically have a Google tablet with an Amazon options bar. As people get exposed framework going it will get even better than that. Boot loader crack is not necessary to make this a Google tablet. As for pure Google well that would be great for some, or cm 10.3 for others but in the end all of that is really just ui and a few options. The necessities of downloading from Google market and some customization can all be accomplished right this second. I have very few apps from Amazon on my tablet in fact. Most are Google market apps. As the bright boys spend more time with this tablet it will become even easier for the less experienced users to accomplish these things as well.

Really? So is the carousel thing on your kindle is gone? Just the top bar? Sweet.

Well the device was a gift I can't just bring it back.
Basically Amazon banned me for some dumb ass reason literally like my neighbor got in trouble so now I can't use it. and when I try to buy **** on the kindle I can't use that store either so I am praying that there is some type of movement on the boot loader because otherwise this going to be one expensive paper weight.
