Would it be possible to dissasemble the folio and rotate the screen by 180 degrees......?
The screens viewfactor is strangely much better turned around
That's possible. In one thread DerArtem show dissasembled pictures of its Folio 100. Take a look, it's inside general.

I was wondering about the viewing angle on my gtablet and did a quick search on gtablet and teardown. I noticed some people playing with it last november for other reasons.
A bit ago, when I was building a multi touch laser table a bit ago, I started playing with the different layers of a standard LCD monitor. I ended up killing on monitor so I have some extra parts... One of the layers I found out really helped the viewing angles (diffused layer between the light source and the lcd).
Has anyone looked to see if you can seperate the lcd layers and if there was room for a thin sheet of plastic?
Has anyone taken their gtablet apart and been able to put it back together without major problems?
I'm not sure if I have the to take mine apart and do this yet... but I'm getting close. But if others have taken theirs apart and reassembled it... I would at least take it to that level and see how my confindence is.
(also would be nice if I could add a led behind the buttons... wonder how doable that would be..
I have taking my a part a few times but never getting into take out the LCD ... it was pretty easy to take out and put it back ... i have changed the LCD of various laptop and recently one on the Archos 70IT and yes, the LCD can be separated with a fews tapes and metal clips to remove ... next time if i have to take out my Gtab, i will take note of the LCD to see if can de separated with Clips or tape or both

There is a post with pictures of a guy who backlit his buttons. Seemed pretty simple for someone of his ability, but far beyond mine. Ghetto button (drops of reflective paint on the side) for me. Search for LED buttons or something similar. Never mind, found it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=899132&highlight=LEDs
Found this the other day in my parousing for accesories for the tab but noticed it hadn't been posted here.... decent selection, close to 300 designs.... Stupid cheap... about time i've been looking for a while for more than just the carbon fiber ones.

I ordered one of these and in discussion if they had any alternative's that had more of an astronomy type back ground the person i was in email contact with indicated they could make these as customs with a pic that you provided. If that interests any one contact them and see what they might could do for you.
Holy macaroni.

The first thing I noticed is that 99% of these "skins" are in portrait mode. I use my gTab in mostly landscape mode.
The second thing I noticed is that there is no link to the wallpapers for these "G-Tablet Skins" for you to download and use to blend with the skin on the bezel of the gTab after you purchase and apply one of these. I saw there are wallpaper links for other devices but couldn't find one for the gTab.
So this may be exciting for some folks but I didn't find it useful. What I would find interesting would be skins that could look good in either portrait or landscape mode (like the carbon fiber skin I already have).
Also, since I have my gTab in a CLIP case about 85% of the time I seldom think about the skins anymore.
If you want the skin in landscape just ask them. I'm sure they'll accomodate they offered me the ability to make a cutom from a pic that i sent them... i wanted an astronomy theme.. but decided on #246 ...
the back ground.. you download the one for the NOOK color list under "ebooks"... it's an android tablet after all... (you'll have to do some creative cropping to get it to fit right)
I can't find a way to lock the wallpaper in landscape, is that possible? In other words, I want to be able to use my tablet in portraite mode but have the wallpaper still be in landscape mode so it still matches the skin.
I havn't figured out a way... may be there is an app that allows you to have multiple wallpapers... one for landscape and one for portrait...I remember seeing something along those lines somewhere... it may be a feature that is specific to certian Launchers also.. did a quick search and there was an app but it wasn't rated very well...

yeah i saw that somewhere too i thinks its something like multipicturelive or something.......
HOLY COW!!!!!
If the selection from the Ebay dealer listed above wasn't quiet what you're looking for.. a shlew of skins turned up in a search on Amazon this AM... check it out... a bit more pricey.. $17.95 ,still not bad compared to the $30 selection we used to have.... but a TON more designs......

Did anyone get theirs made? How did it come out? Does it cover the sides like the carbon fibers do? I only ask because I just bought a P3 case on eBay and everything's going to be covered (even the left speaker ) except the sides where the power button is and the other side. Thanks if anyone can help
has anyone gotten these yet and tried them out? i really want to know about the quality and stuff cuase i was interested
I got #246 the grill looking one from the ebay store.. and no it doesn't cover the sides.. there is about a 1/16 inch (1.5mm) around the perimiter on both the front and back... wich is desirable on the back, keeps it from picking up and collecting dust and swarf... the front is ok.. i would look better benig all the way out to the edge.. but the guys at ridic graphics (ebay store) said that they were having issues with people stretching them while they were putting them on that's why they cut the perimiter in a bit.. graphics look pretty good.. not grainny at all... applied easy enough, though a second set of hands made it easier, someone holding the skin up while you locate it is ideal...... over all i'm satisfied...
thinking of seriously getting one from the amazon store because of the astronomy backround selections they have.. if i do i'll comment on them as well...
About time someone started making these. Anyone have a picture of the fit quality once its installed?
I posted some pics in my original thread on Android tablets forum...
they show the bo-bo'd bezel cut line but Ridic graphics sent me a replacement that makes the gap around the top skin more uniform..

Hi, I have a nook Tablet that had a little problem.
The LCD screen is broken.
The left side for 1.5 inch is dead.
I'm looking for a way to change the screen size of the tablet.
That way I could still use the tablet.
If I could just specify a smaller size that way the dead pixel won't be in use.
Anyway, I hope that you understand.
So does that exist? Can it be done through a Theme?
Thx for your help!!
April fools?
Please, Photo in studio.
Moved To Q&A
This is a development section, its not for questions (or April fools)
No April's fool! Unfortunatly...
You see, the dead pixels on the right.
If I could find a way to resize the displayed picture, that would be great.
Maybe with a theme, to give another dimension... I don't know.
I'm sure it's possible, but I don't know how...
I can't post a pic but If you copy paste that link :

Thx
No answer?
Seriously?
Nobody has a way to change the display size?
I'm sure it's not that difficult.
but i'm not a developer... unfortunately.
you can change the screen size but there is no way to tell it to take only a portion of the screen, so it will change the screen as a whole and you end up with the same. Only solution is to replace screen.
How did it happenned?
stupidity
As always... I put it in the glove compartement in the car, without a protection. and bim...
no real s/w fix for this. you gotta bite the bullet and swap out hardware.
hi! I want to change the viewing angle of my screen cos it looks better whrn tilted. how do I do that? instant thanks for working reply
I'm no scientist, but I think this is physically impossible.
screen guards with special materials
yes, its uncommon but there are screenguards filled with special materials which do that.
Can someone please clear up wether or not I need to purchase a screen "frame" also?
A family member cracked their screen. It's definitely not just the glass that is cracked. I found a few sellers that have what I need, but I have no idea what the "screen frame" is. The picture looks like a motherboard. Can someone please clear this up for me.
What exactly is the "screen frame"? In all the YouTube videos I've watched they just heat the thing up, pull it apart, disconnect some ribbon cables and then basically do the reverse to install the new screen.
Pretty sure I do not need the "frame", but I'd really like to know exactly what it is. In these pictures it looks like a board without camera, battery, et cetera. Is the "screen frame" something you need if the phone got slightly tacoed? The phone is now only *slightly* curved. It was so slight I was able to easily bend it back.
I'd just really like some clarification on this because I will likely end up waiting for the part(s) from China and I want to get the right thing(s).
Thank you.
EDIT: Okay, so I watched a few other videos. The frame is literally a frame that you transfer the small boards over to. Okay, so can someone please tell me *why* you would need to replace the frame? I mean, seems like if you need to replace the frame then some boards are also likely damaged and the phone is more or less (depending) junk. What is a situation where you would only need to replace the screen and the frame and nothing else? I just want to make sure I'm understanding this right.
