Screen Protectors - Eee Pad Transformer Accessories

Let's make a definitive list of screen protectors and the important attributes to help folks pick one that meets their criteria. If we do similar threads for the necessity items and make them sticky, it will make the forum that much more useful.
Please use the format below and when thread updates happen I will edit the OP with the info.

Go ask the cyanogenmod forums. I'm sure they'll be happy to give you an ETA.
Ignore that ^
Yes. Likely the Tab will get the first CM9 stable release.
Lol. I might be a bit of a noob when it comes to the development side of things, but I know better than to ask for an ETA.
Looking forward to the stable build of CM9.

@slack04: Why do you always have to post stuff like what you've written above? I can understand that threads/posts that ask for easily obtainable information or simply troll around (not saying this thread is trolling, but a simple search would provide the necessary information) get on your nerves, but do posts like that really help anything? Instead of witty and sarcastic remarks, you could try leading by example. Please don't take this the wrong way, but I've read a lot of posts by you which were written in a similar manner and I can't see how it helps anyone ...
@OP: As others have already answered, our device will get full CM9 support, it has been said a few times that the official alpha isn't out yet due to some non-technical problems (so I'm guessing they're legal ones). And, as it was also said before, you can try out the daily kangs in the development section to get a feel of where CM9 is right now.

Well, I'll try to answer, but I'm probably wasting my breath (ok, my carpal tunnels).
This forum is essentially unmoderated. Stay with me, it will make sense in a moment. The mod occasionally rolls through and deletes a post or two and hands out a warning, but other than that he's left this forum to the dogs, which means that useless threads never get deleted or merged and trolls rarely get bumped. (OK, he moves questions to the Q+A forum, which is good--but thoroughly insufficient). As a result, it's impossible for anyone to browse to find any useful information because it gets buried under new threads asking the same 10 questions over and over (6 of which are truly useful questions that all new users need to know; the next 3 could be answered by reading the sticky in the dev thread, and the last 1 is a thinly disguised complaint about "lagginess"). Search is also ineffective for the same reason: there's thousands of useless threads with equally useless titles (this one is a good example...) that ask or say the same thing. As an archive of information for users of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 (which is what a good forum should end up being), this place is useless. So, while I might agree with you in a well-maintained forum where useless threads were regularly purged, here everything gets lost--useless threads with useless titles prevail. Which brings me to my point:
I thought I was leading by example. Follow along with me: we can stop the useless thread train by 1) not providing answers to easily searched questions) and 2) gently reminding users (many of whom are repeat offenders) that search engines are useful tools of the twenty-first century. If all the users did this (and the moderator became an active participant in the community), new (or lazy) users would eventually learn to search before creating new threads and title their threads in such a way as to make them useful to others. If users (and moderators) treated the forums as a reference archive, this place would blossom into a library of useful threads, new and old. Users would add to existing threads rather than creating new ones, and repetitive or troll threads would be deleted or merged. Forward-thinking users would update OPs with suggestions from the thread that worked, saving those of us that actually do use the search function the pain of slogging through deceptively-titled threads. Useful, positive threads would stay at the top instead of getting buried under mounds of comparisons to ipad threads; browsing the forum would be helpful and fun again. Unicorns would dance with leprechauns and Santa Claus would bring world peace. 12-year-old forum users would learn the difference between "your" and "you're" and would type out all four to six characters instead of using the idiot identifier: "ur." Crazy, I know.
Yikes! Um, what was I talking about again? Oh, yeah:

Alrighty, a good and logical (in it's own way) explanation - I can respect that. I also wish for some heavier moderation on the forums (even though we hijacked this one too, which isn't exactly nice and doesn't really support good ... erm ... forumship), and I agree with most of what you've stated above. Well, I'm probably more "forgiving" about syntax and semantic mistakes, since I know it can often be hard for us non-native speakers to speak and write perfect English (especially if we come from a non Germanic languages), and many people try their best but still get some words wrong. And the way I see it, how they write is their choice - some people want to dress nice, some people want to smell nice and some people want to make sure they speak and write nice. If it really gets on my nerves so much, I can just skip over those parts, it's not my position to judge that. I try to write correctly and make sure my thoughts actually come across and aren't lost (for the lack of better term) in translation (be it translation from my language to the one I'm writing in or simply translation of thoughts into words) but I know I sometimes fail miserably .
And who knows, maybe your post will even "wake up" the moderators to make a stronger appearance and it will change the forums for the better. I don't believe unicorns would ever dance with leprechauns though
This section of XDA has some of the strictest mods in my opinion. You are not a mod, do not act like one. Sometimes better to just not post.

I'm glad we could find a middle ground. Just to be clear, though: I never mentioned -- nor even alluded to -- non-english speakers as a cause of problems. In fact I'm pretty sure the blame lies far more on english speakers and their (parents') weak education ethic.... But that's for some other forum (that I wouldn't be caught dead on).

[Q] Star N8000 screen protector

Sorry for posting such a lame question but can anyone tell me if the Star N8000 has a factory fitted screen protector?
I've just ordered one because it the first three days I've managed to put a scratch in the screen. However I've just noticed that around the front camera and ear piece it looks like it has a protector fitted.
Is this a protector that can be removed before fitting my new one? I don't want to go picking at it if its integral to the screen.
TIA

I dont mind the question being lame. However I am not to fond of the fact that you choose the GENERAL section to ask it in.
As the XDA rule 15 states:
Keep posts/threads on-topic
Whilst a minor amount of off-topic posting may be overlooked, the general rule is your posts / threads must be relevant to the Forum / thread in which you are posting.
General Forums - For news and announcements relating to your device.
Q&A Forums - For all question threads / posts. If there is no Q&A forum use the device General Forum
Accessories subforum - For posts related to accessories relevant to the phone model
Development Forums (ones with the word development in the title) - For developers to post release threads e.g. ROMs and Kernels including modifications to Kernels, Bootloaders, ROMs, etc.
Themes and Apps Forums - For themers to post Themes and App. announcements & discussions including modifications made to Apps and Themes.

[FAQ] Hyperdrive Unofficial Extended FAQ

The purpose of this thread is to relieve some of the activity on Hyperdrive's main thread related to common questions. It is not currently endorsed by Hyperdrive's developer, Deviant Development, or in any way reflects the opinion or advice thereof. Hopefully Scott will link to this thread from his if it's helpful. :good:
This first post is currently a work in progress and will eventually be finalized. The entire thread is intended to be a constant work in progress.
I think this thread should be organized such that this first post contains a list of questions and LINKS to proposed answers. All proposed questions and answers should be posted in response to this post. Please remember to put the question in the subject line of your post (instead of "Re: [FAQ] Hyperdrive Unofficial Extended FAQ").
This thread is not limited to just questions and answers. I would encourage any discussion related to the FAQ itself or any answers. Answer whichever question you like (even one that may have already been answered but not to your satisfaction), format your post however you like, and I will link to it in this first post. Or just post a link to an answer that may already exist among the 663+ pages of posts in the Hyperdrive thread. Questions and answers need not be contained entirely within this thread.
To help prevent duplicated effort, I would encourage posting stub questions (one at a time, please) and then filling them in IMMEDIATELY.
If someone answered your question, don't forget to click "Thanks!"
Moderators, is this allowed? Anyone else have any suggestions? Feel free to start answering questions, and I'll update this first post daily with links to your answers below! I believe the strength of this format is that if you feel I'm not responsive enough / did not include the right answers, you can always start your own thread and link back to answers here (or anywhere else).

Where Do Babies Come From?
I Want to Complain About Hyperdrive. Where Do I Do That?
I Want to Complain About Hyperdrive. Where Do I Do That?
You don't. Hyperdrive is free, isn't promoting anything, and is the work of volunteers. You should respectfully report bugs or request features, but complaining about the direction the ROM is taking or the lack of your pet feature is unbecoming. Just like complaining that the free money someone gave you is too wrinkled for your liking, complaining makes you look really bad and doesn't help anything or anyone.
Can I Dirty Flash Between Versions?
Can I Dirty Flash Between Versions?
No. So far, not a single release has specified that a dirty flash is OK.
Technically, you could perform a dirty flash. Just like you could punch yourself in the face. But why would you do that? Don't expect any help if you do. Do expect lots of pain.
Why Does {Specific Menu Item} In The Hyperdrive Tweaks App Crash?
Why Does [Any Specific Menu Item] In The Hyperdrive Tweaks App Crash?
First, make sure your phone is in portrait mode. (Some apps force the phone into landscape or portrait mode no matter how the phone is held.) Some of the items don't work in landscape mode. Second, the third post (which you should have already read) in Hyperdrive's main thread says that not all of the functions are implemented yet. This may be why.
I'm thinking we might need an answer for "How is the battery life?" It seems like a silly question to me. Sbreen posted some tips to improve battery life, and actual battery life is highly dependent on how the phone is used. Even including screen-on time can be misleading, as you really don't know how that person really uses their phone (how far are they from the cell tower? how much time is spent on Wifi and not 4G?) and how that compares to your situation. Should we discourage this question from being asked in the primary thread?

[POLL] Issues/Defects/Imperfections or no issues at all

Since there are numerous threads about some defects of the 6P, I wanted to create a poll which can shed some light on the number of devices which are affected by issues and defects and number of devices which are perfect.
This poll is about faults or defects that the device had right after it got out of the box. Its not about defects that happened while using the phone. I have tried to put all the defects into some bacis categories, you can then specify the exact defects in the thread (if you have the need). If you get the feeling there is something missing, Mod can hopefully add a new option to the poll.
I think the poll could be quite usefull to people that are looking to buy the device. And moreover, we can then get a clear picture of how many devices get out of the box already demaged. So please try to vote in the poll, the more info we have, the better picture we get. Thanks.
Just as a info, here are some threads that discuss some of the issues or defects of the 6P:
Bent device
Another "bendgate"
Glass visor shattered
Front glass cracked
Defective units
Perfect devices
Weak chassis
Build quality thread
Graphite coloring coming off
I just hope this doesnt get closed like this similar thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/poll-device-defective-t3243449
I'm afraid I will need to close this thread. We have more that a few threads on defects and issues to choose from already. I realize this includes a poll, but inevitably it will be come another defect discussion, and we have a few of those already.
Cheers,

Any cases better than the original?

I browsed through everything I found and nothing so far... Who uses the original case knows what I am talking about when I say: that perfect grip, those rised corners, and that semi-transparent background that showes the phone's beautiful purple ombre back.
Transparent cases just look so cheap and crappy, black and full-colour cases make no sense because who doesn't want to show the back of a phone whan it's actually stunning?
Anyone found better ones than the original provided in the box of the phone?
The SupCase (AmazonLink) has been my favorite, daily used case for a long time now. I have two official case and of course the included case, and still prefer the SupCase. The clear back on mine really doesn't have any scratches, but it's typically the only thing in my pocket. It does get a bunch of fingerprints on it, so I wipe it down every so often. Works fine with the factory 3D screen protector.
I have been using Spigen Liquid Air. Had good grip and fits perfectly.

I was thinking about this, but this is a full colored case... I woud happily buy if the back was transparent or at least semi-transparent...
