So I just made my purchase and lookin forward to getting this tablet. 1st tablet ever, yeah! I feel like I have a good grab on how to root, etc with my phone, so applying the same logic should be fairly simple.
However can anyone point me in the right direction of what to do first in order to get a custom ROM on this baby. I'm assuming rooting, (links would be helpful)
Also, which is the best of the best ROM wise to run? Any major differences between the many released here on XDA?
Thanks again in advance
Also, I heard about this nvflash, is this is just failsafe to install that clockwork just won't help with? When does nvflash have to be performed?
Z4Root for rooting if you're going to stay with the stock rom.
ClockworkMod .8 if you're going to want to flash other roms (that already come rooted).
I'm a VEGAn 5.1.1 fan so I may be biased but in my opinion it's fast and reliable and looks great. I watch videos I've ripped, read books/magazines/comics, play games, and access my work computers with my gTab.
chugger93,
Please search. There are numerous threads regarding the differences between ROMs, which ones are better and why.
In the developer section you will see stickies regarding every ROM, nvflash, CWM. These stickies not only have the download, but also how to install, and pages and pages of problems that people have answered.
And yes, nvflash is a failsafe for if you screw something up by not following directions. Sometimes I wish I could use nvflash on users in this forum so they would be able to go back and read before posting a question that has been asked a hundred times before.
In fact...this is the first thread in this section which you posted, yet still felt the need to ask:

Here's my thoughts on your response;
Firstly; No matter how many times you ask people to stop posting questions it's in stickies. It's still going to happen. People don't want to read, just like they barely read their emails at work and respond. It's a vicious cycle, and one that you or anyone else isn't going to change. It sucks, I know, but I've been administering forums for years upon years, and I still can't control it.
Secondly; If people would just respond to the questions being asked (since it is a forum) rather than typing a book on how to use the search, people like myself amongst many others would stop posting so much.
Thirdly; Unless stickies get updated (which some of them arnt I see...) technology meaning roms and such, are ever changing. So who's to say that any of that information in that sticky is even relevant or updated anymore?? Riddle me this
Case and point: Just answer peoples questions and move on. It's why we are all here to help one another. Thank you
So because people insist on not reading first we should be obligated to helping them anyway even tho a simple search reveals 95% of the answers? The point is to get people to look for the answer first instead of clogging up the forum with yert another worthless thread like this one. It's a developer forum not tech support. And yes it would be easier to just answer this question for the 100th time but after having answered it for the 50th time its more fun to try and get others to be shamed into searching first.
For those posting in this thread, figured it would be a good idea to remind all about the forum rules you accepted when you joined XDA:
FORUM RULES
1. Search before posting.
Use one of our search functions before posting, whether you have a question or something new to share, it's very likely someone already asked that question or shared that news.
2. Member conduct.
2.1 Language: XDA is a worldwide community. As a result what is ‘ok’ to say in your part of the world may not be ok in someone else’s part of the world. Please think about who is reading what you write. Keep in mind that what you think of as acceptable use of language may not be acceptable to others. Conversely, while reading member posts, remember that word you find offensive may not be to the writer. Tolerance is a two way street.
2.2 Nudity: XDA is used by people of all ages, including minors. It's not acceptable to post nude/pornographic imagery, which includes exposure of the male or female genitalia or of female breasts.
2.3 Flaming: XDA was founded as a group of people sharing information about certain mobile phones. Sharing does not involve virtual yelling (flaming) it does involve working together to solve problems in an environment of mutual respect and understanding. Losing your temper and flaming another member, or group of members, is not acceptable behavior.
2.4 Personal attacks, racial, political and/or religious discussions: XDA is a discussion forum about certain mobile phones. Mobile phones are not racial, political, religious or personally offensive, therefore none of these types of discussions are permitted on XDA.
2.5 New Members: Treat new members the way you would have liked to have been treated when you were a new member. Provide the new members with guidance, advice and instruction always with respect and courtesy.
2.6 All members are expected to read and adhere to the XDA rules.
3. Post only using a clear subject and message.
You're most likely to receive a helpful answer to your question if you use a short subject title that describes your problem and a message that explains in detail what your problem is and what you've tried to solve it.
4. Use the English language.
We understand that with all the different nationalities not everyone speaks English well, but please try. If you're really unable to post in English use an online translator, You're free to include your original message in your own language below the English translation.
5. Post a message only once.
As a large forum we don't need unnecessary clutter, You're free to edit your message as you like, so if you do not receive an answer revisit your message and see if you can describe your problem better. Not everyone is online at the same time, it might take a while before you receive an answer.
6. Do not post warez.
If a piece of software requires you to pay to use it, either pay or find your cracks and serials somewhere else. We do not accept warez nor do we permit any member to promote or describe ways in which Warez, cracks, serial codes or other means of avoiding payment, can be obtained.
7. Do not spam.
If you wish to advertise a product, contact us we provide ads. But do not post it in the forums, it will be removed and you're likely to receive a ban.
You are however allowed to sell used goods like your own device, parts of your device or accessories for your device in the marketplace forum, please read the rules there before posting. (This rule includes signatures, if you use a signature it will appear in your post)
8. Donations.
We appreciate all donations to xda-developers.com, it keeps our forum online and well maintained. As a user you're allowed to ask for donations in your signature as a thank you for your hard work. However donations up front are not allowed, this forum is about sharing, not about getting paid to do something, that's what your job is for.
9. Don't get us in trouble.
Don't post copyrighted materials or do other things that will obviously lead to legal trouble. If you wouldn't do it on your own homepage, you probably don't want to do it here either. This does not mean we agree with everything the software piracy lobby try to impose on us, it simply means you cannot break any laws here, since we'll end up dealing with legal hassle caused by you. Please use common sense: respect the forum, its users, and those that write great code.
10. Help others if you can.
If you see posts from others where you can help out, please do. This place exists because people are helping each other, and even if you are relatively new to the matter, there's probably already quite a few people newer than you that would benefit from what you've learned. Don't be shy.
11. Don’t post with the intention of selling something.
Don’t use XDA to advertise your product or service. Proprietors of for-pay products or services, may use XDA to get feedback, provide beta access, or a free version of their product for XDA users and offer support, but not to post with the intention of selling. This includes promoting sites similar/substantially similar to XDA-Developers.com.
Do not post press releases, announcements, links to trial software, or commercial services. unless you’re posting an exclusive release for XDA-Developers.com.
Encouraging members to participate in forum activities on other phone related sites is prohibited.
Off-site downloads are permitted if the site is non-commercial and does not require registration.
Off-site downloads from sites requiring registration are NOT encouraged but may be permitted if the following conditions are met:
A) the site belongs to a member of XDA-Developers with at least 1500 posts and 2 years membership who actively maintains XDA-Developers' support thread(s) / posts, related to the download,
B) the site is a relatively small personal website without commercial advertising/links (i.e. not a competitor forum-based site with purposes and aims similar to those of XDA-Developers.com.)
12. Using the work of others.
If you are developing something that is based on the work of another Member, you MUST first seek their permission, and you must give credit to the member whose work you used. If a dispute occurs about who developed / created a piece of work, first try to settle the matter by private message and NOT in open forum. If this fails then you may contact a moderator with clear evidence that the work was created by you.
Convincing evidence will result in copied work being removed. If there is no clear evidence you created the work then in the spirit of sharing all work will remain posted on the forums.
These rules apply to all software posted on XDA unless that software comes with a license that waives these rules.
Cmon, you can't have development without tech support. Its like saying you can't have bread without butter. The two just go together. If ur going to develop, expect support because its your product. Furthermore, questions arnt worthless nor stupid, just somones lack of knowledge and experience that you may have to give onto others. Additionally; searches may yeld several methods or answers, not just one. So again, my lack of experience may come in the form of a question, such as this thread to better equip myself with the right or successful answers.

The difference here, is that this is a community-supported forum. XDA is not about "tech support" in the traditional sense, more in users-helping-users. It is important to search before doing anything - and to pursue many of the answers given to find the one that works in your situation. To see multiple answers and then decide to not pursue any of them because there are too many is not helping the community as a whole - and is against the very rules you agreed to upon membership.
All of your questions are answered in stickied threads which are in fact up to date for what you are wanting to do.
Closing this thread before it gets way out of hand.

So far the most I've seen any company do is hand out a cease and desist order telling the person to remove the information. You may want to email Google or speak to a professional, though.
You're best bet is to report them to google market. Even then, it will be very tough to get them to respond. They rarely respond to any small developer unless you have some serious coin behind you. Did you ever think about encrypting the apk?
Thread moved to Q&A due to it being a question. Would advise you to read forum rules and post in correct section.
Failure to comply with forum rules will result in an infraction and/or ban depending on severity of rule break.

Apps will always be pirated. The best you can do is report it and have it removed.
how would i encrype my apk files?
purchased it last week and now im getting a message that says it has expired and i should purchase the app.But market says it installed and paid for
I think the latest update has screwed up the app. Lots of people complaining on the market reviews.
Touchpad
When it came out it had support for the TouchPad too (running CM9 nightly). But then it said expired so I uninstalled it, and now the market thinks it doesn't support it.
Anyone else seeing the same thing?

Hello, everybody! Recently I got to use AirDroid. I found it has a pretty nice interface. And I can manage my Android device very easy. However, compared with the other management tool-Moborobo I have used, I found AirDroid does not have the backup and restore feature. This is one point I hope AirDroid will develop. So what you guys think about it?

I am seeing a lot of threats for "infractions" on this forum (all for good reasons), I'm wondering what an infraction actually is and what the consequences are.
Of course I'm doing my best to be a good boy but that really feels like I may get a detention if I say something wrong.
*Hot heads need not reply to this post, I really just want to know what an infraction is and am trying to make it a little facetious.
I'm pretty certain there is a point system and an infraction gives you x points. Get enough points and you may be subject to temporary loss of posting abilities or even banning.
Its not a joke either so posting this question with the explicit intent of being "facetious" is rather childish and exactly the sort of thing that (in my mind) could lead to said infractions. Next time just ask your question without trying to be cute about it.

What you said bout infractions are completely correct. Typically the are giving out depending on how severe the post is. I for one, in a month of moderating haven't handed one out, yet. I've seen some real bs in some of my sections, personally I will give a person a chance first. then if they disobey, I'll infract them.
@op: What you posted could be taking two ways. A serious question or being a smartass. I, myself, only issued one more warning bout infractions. If the other moderator has said something else, please bring it to my attention.
