hello to all apologize if posting this in the wrong place, and sorry for my english google translator.
I am very close to buying a touchpad but I'm unsure whether to buy it or kindlefire, even if you think a player no longer manufactured there will still be many hacks, and developing roms for it?
ICS will be possible on the touchpad, there are many people developing for it?
I thank all
Well this can do all a kindle but kindle can't do all this can. While we have some issues with drivers, over time it will be fixed and yes, will have ics. Kindle can't have WEBOS now...

The kindle is garbage. If you want to see the wonders of the Touchpad, check out my videos:

The Touchpad is definitely better hardware wise. You are getting a 9.7" screen (same size as the ipad) instead of only a 7" one. You also get a full GB of RAM on the Touchpad instead of only 512MB. My phone has the same CPU and GPU that the Kindle Fire does and on GTA 3 there is some lagging. On my Touchpad with CM7 the game is smooth.
ok thank you all, I'm convinced to buy the touchpad, but only one question to those who already have it, all games and applications to run on android Cyanogen mod? there are still some compatibility issues.
And it is possible for easy installation of the dual bot WEB OS and android I liked the interface of the Web OS, did not want to be without him, and he accepts some sort of memory card? these are still my doubts

The only way to install android is dual boot with webOS. You cannot remove webOS.
The TouchPad has no expansion slot. You can use a USB flash drive with a janky set up using a USB on the go adapter, USB y splitter, and USB power source. So, basically you are stuck with what ever version you get, 16gb or 32gb.
I greatly prefer webOS, so I don't spend much time in android ... Until there is a tablet version of android available. I have not had any compatibility issues with the few apps I have installed.

as long as your fairly tech savvy, i would go with the TP. The only thing that would worry me if i were you, is the tutorials are all written in english so that may make things tougher. o ya, and good luck finding one unless your looking for a used (and maybe overpriced) touchpad.

I have read and understood the tutorials I've done some installations of Cyanogen on other devices, then I am completely noob, and my reading of good English and have a greater problem with writing.
I'm buying it right now, here I pay 800 reais to 425 dolares worth in the 32GB version, I know it is expensive compared to prices here in Brazil over U.S. prices are still absurd tablets.

Couldn't agree with you more. I own two regular e-Ink Kindles.
They are very enjoyable to use for what they're designed for: reading
books.
Out of curiosity, I pre-ordered the Kindle Fire. When it arrived, I was
very hopeful. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a piece of *******(sorry)
It's just not ready for prime time.
I currently have XRON's Android on my Touchpad and I am extremely
happy with it. (until ICS comes along, of course )
Read Leo's thread it has all you need to know. I never flashed a Rom before and have been using his for a month with great results. Just follow the instructions.

there is some evolution in Cyanogen 9 for the touchpad?
HI!! I am really eager to buy the Transformer prime after seeing one of my friend buying them. I have a couple of questions though before buying one.
1. Is there a specific Serial number I should look for that has a good Wi-fi signal?
2. How is the microphone quality on this thing? I need to use this for lectures at my college.
3. Is the software stable? No unusual force closes on it?
4. how are the games and tablet apps? Are there a good variety for the tablet?
thanks for your help!!
its all good. especially with newer models. microsd quality is great, from what I've experienced. just check out the Positive transformer thread in my signature.
Hi folks
I just decided to buy my brand new 1st tablet and i need some help here.... i cant decide about those two
Transformer Pad 300 x Toshiba Excite AT305 (as long im noob i cant post the link to the gsmarena comparing both... sorry =\)
im very impressed with both... but we always will have pros and cons
toshiba at305
pro
- has more ports available than asus
- better stereo speaker built-in (SRS sound enhancement)
- better proc and better GPU
- reads sd/microsd
cons
asus has a better UI ( will we have the Chameleon UI available soon???)
Asus transformer 300
pro
- LTE support
- 16GB ROM
- a better camera but NO FLASH as long toshiba has
- sns integration
- sms, mms available
- better display
cons
- again.. no flash camera (i never know when i will need this flash camera)
i'm totally NOT interested in dock stations or anything like that... i already have a nice dell xps i7 with me wherever i'm.. im looking for a nice tablet to read something on my free time or watch some video lessons easier while im on the bus or somewhere else....
Asus is at least 60 dollars cheaper than toshiba... but.. as long i already saved the money to buy the toshiba... there is no diff to me to spend this money or not.... =\
and my doubts are:
1. can i install any ics on my tablet or only the the ics for that tablet? like... if i want to install the stock rom or any other else, like samsung tab or other ones.. it will brick my tablet?
2. anyone has one of these tablets? if yes, mind to say something about them?
3. is there any custom rom for toshiba? i couldn't find any...
4. and custom rom for asus?
Thanks for help folks!!! =)
Based on the comparison: http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=4692&idPhone2=4596, the Toshiba Excite AT305 is a better choice. No, you cannot install any ICS on your tab; it has to be made specifically for it. You can keep check here for any roms which may come for the Transformer: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1582, but none for the Excite yet. You may also want to consider something other than your choices (if you want the tab for modding and flashing roms) which has more development and similar specs e.g. The Eee Pad Transformer Prime: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1414.

thanks for reply... i've noticed this Transformer Prime thread before but there is any custom roms yet (or perhaps im a totally noob on android area and i couldnt notice if there is a rom for that)... they have some blob files, tweaks, root, and downgrade.. anything like in the Samsung Galaxy Tab thread, where they have loads of custom roms over there...
and... about the ics... even the stock one... i cant?? and, do you think if has any chance to come any nice custom roms to toshiba like we have to asus and samsung? because, as long toshiba doesnt has too much ""expertise"" in tablet field (apart thrive) i dont know if we can expect a large crowd to buy this new awesome tablet....
thanks!
another doubt
can i send sms/mms and use as phone thru some of both?? or maybe both???
Thanks!
any more help here please? =)
If you have a laptop+smartphone, it's not like you need a tablet now. So I'm personally waiting until next year to buy one. By then Quad core would be more common and cheaper and I want to see how w8 tablets will perform.

There are custom roms available for the Prime (Here are a few: Virtuous Prime, SKANKWICH CM9, and Team Eos Transformer Prime Nightlies. Yes, i'm sure you cannot use another device's rom on your device (unless they have the same - or very similar - hardware e.g. A100 and A500).

yeah... i have a laptop and my smartphone is a nokia 5800... so.. its not so that smart.. eheheh =)... i want to buy a tablet because i waste at least 2 to 2 hours and half in bus every single day... so.. i want to study during this time... i have loads and loads of pdfs to read and video lessons to watch and while im at home is almost impossible to do this... so... at least if im in the bus im alone and i can study or read... or do anything else i cant do in my laptop ((just because weights around 3,5kg... its not so good to stand this in my legs and so on))... so... thats why i want to buy a tablet... watch some stuffs... reads another stuffs.... casually watch a nice movie or listen music... its more to study... and... as long the asus is cheap worth it... but i loved the stereo speakers on toshiba and some stuffs also....
see? im quite confused here =\

Thanks very very much for those topics.... in the SKANKWICH i read what i was trying to find... if its really possible to send sms/mms/phone calls
* Phone: add voicemail notification setting

* Mms: Add an option to disable the transformation from SMS to MMS when the lenght of the message is > 3 sms.

is this is possible in the toshiba???
why i asked again if its possible to get the UI from samsung or asus... because i have this same topic in another big forum and a user there said
Unless someone or you yourself makes custom roms with htc or samsung ui on top of it - you cannot directly flash the firmwares of other devices on to it

is this really proceeds or its just a jabber??
sorry for ask so much.. its because this kind of stuff in my country is very... very... very pricey.... i mean.... really... really pricey... so.. as long my mom is in usa i have only one shot to buy this... i cant go there just to change to another one even if i wanted....
thanks for reply!! =)
guys...
i was reading here - http://www.mobiletechreview.com/tablets/Asus-Transformer-Pad-TF300.htm - that this Asus DOES NOT has Gorilla Glass.... is this is for real??? if yes i dont want to buy this one.... who wants a expensive tablet without Gorilla Glass???
im really about to buy the toshiba one... despite my fear to cant find nice custom roms as we can find to samsung tab or asus prime....
thanks! =)
guys
after i discovered the lack of 3g ((i'd rather a 3G than wi-fi, because i can use 3g anytime, but i cant use wi-fi anytime, most part of my day im not at my job, sometimes im visiting a customer of something, so i need 3G)) on Toshiba AT305, i started to find another tablet, and i founded the Motorola Xoom 2... but this one has some faults, like:
cons
1. no ics til July
2. the charger is the same port of usb, so, if i use something ((like a external hard drive)) i need to check if the battery is good enough...
3. no full sd port
4. no orientation lock button
5. no ics custom roms anywhere
cons
1. some kind of waterproof protection
2. if i buy motorola in my country i have warranty, toshiba not
so... which one i chose:
the one ((toshiba at305)) that was released this month and i can upgrade to JellyBean after its launch and i will still be missing 3g OR i get one where i have 3G + wifi + some nice stuffs BUT probably i will no get JellyBean update and i will still be missing some nice features from toshiba?
Which one do you chose?
Thanks!!
anyone else to help me out here???
Thanks! =)
ITS DONE!!!
MY INDECISION JUST GONE!!
I just bought these items
Toshiba Excite 10 - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007OWZRC8
USB Host Cable - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006XL26TS
Pen - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004YIFOZK

In a few days i will do a review about my new gadget!!
Thanks so much for everyone who helped me a LOT!!! Really really thanks!!
Cheers!!! =)
Amazing Alex isn't showing up in the Play Store on my TF201 running AndroWook 2.1. I believe its how the Rom identifies the device in the Play Store. Anyone able to fix this issue? Also is there a thread that someone can point me to concerning getting particular games to play correctly using the AndroWook Rom? Thanks.

well you're almost right about identifying the device on the play store
more precisely the build.prop does

Just FYI it's not AndroWook 2.1 that's causing the game not to show up in Play Store. If you go to Play Store via Web Browser and log into your GMail account and bring up the game for install you'll see the TF201 is listed as not compatible which is very odd given the fact that my old Iconia A500 Tab is listed as compatible.

Yeah its the build.prop that is used with AndroWook's rom as you can still still the stock transformer prime under listed devices before I flashed the rom and its listed as compatible. Guess I need to edit the build.prop; Anyone can point me in the right direction on changing the device identifier in the build.prop file?

That's very odd I have a friend with a stock TF101 and his is also being listed as not compatible and it has Tegra2 just like my old A500 does. Are you certain it was showing up as compatible previously? One other possibility my be like what was seen on Mass Effect Infiltrator which was originally listed as compatible for TF201 and then it got changed.
Anyone can point what to update in build file to make our device looking compatible ?

Actually another way since you're already on AndroWook would be to download it onto a compatible device like your phone then copy the APK over to your TF201.

I don't have another HD device, already purchased the game for my SGSII.
I've just downloaded a HD apk from another forum (just to try !) and it works flawlessly, so it's not a compatibility issue. Now pls Google let me pay for it
[EDITED]: Actually HD is available for SGSII. Still would rather wait for it available for Prime officially for the sake of future updates.

Well one solution would be to back it up with Titanium and then install it on the TF201 that's what I did with Mass Effect Infiltrator which I purchased for my Infuse. It shows up as an installed app in Play Store and it updates without any issues.
I downloaded off of the amazon app store and have been playing Amazing Alex on wookie rom.

I emailed Rovio and they basically stated it was not compatible and they had no plans on supporting the device. I just uninstalled all Rovio products and no longer use their products. This probably means it will not run on the Nexus 7 either. A really bone move on Rovio's part.
ROVIO reply
Hi,
This is what I wrote to ROVIO:
"
Hi,
why your game Amazing Alex is not available for Asus Transformer Prime
(TF201)?
Regards
"
And that is whot they reply:
"
Rovio Support Team, Jul 14 07:54 (EDT):
Hi Robert,
and thank you for contacting us!
Unfortunately, while testing the game we found that Transformer devices are not capable of running it smoothly and therefore they are not supported by the game at the moment. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Best Regards,
Veera

WTF?! Almost most powerfull mobie chip is not capable of running game smoothly?! How? What it needs to have under the hood to run smoothly? I think that they just don't give a damn about Transformer in general as it works perfectly on TEGRA2 devices.
EDIT:
Also I (just to try) downloaded APK from web... and of course it runs smoothly like you should expect from top Android tablet (Asus Prime). So ROVIO what is your excuse for today?
They are lying. This is insane. The game works perfectly smooth on TF101 (I sideloaded it afer buying for a phone) which only has Tegra 2 - it also is supported on Motorola Xoom and very slow chinese tablet I have. There must be some fight between Rovio and Asus.
Mailed them the facts:
Hello,
why your game Amazing Alex is not available for Asus Transformer Prime
(TF201)?
I downloaded the ap from another source, just to test if it will work.
And it works perfectly! No crashes, no laggs!
Also if it would work on Tegra 2, it will work on terga 3 witch is faster and better.
So please, stop the bullsh*t about not beeing compatible with tegra 3.
It also works on Xoom.
I'm willing to pay for amazing alex, but if you don't give me that option, then i'll have to side load it.
Just like others do on forums. (Meaning downloading the game from a ILLEGAL source).
You really should give a hard kick to you marketing department...

Hello Sander,
and thanks for contacting us!
We apologize for the inconvenience. We've been working hard with this issue and Amazing Alex will be available for Asus Transformer soon.
We have received some contradictory feedback about the game's compatibility with the Transformer devices, so please let us know if there are any problems.

Good afternoon. I have just purchased 3 Asus MeMO Pad HD7 tablets (16gb, running Android 4.2.1) for my kids (3yr old twins and a 5.5 year old) as we are getting ready to do some long distance travel. I have a couple of questions on making the tablet "kid-friendly" (I do not anticipate rooting or custom ROMs at this time).
1) I did some research and it seems like the Kids Place app is reasonable as a front interface - anyone have any experience?
2) How do I get ripped movie files to display as an icon and not just the file title? Or to put this in different terms, my twins do not yet read, but I want themt to be able to look at a series of files and by looking at the icons, know which one is The Lorax and which one is Leapfrog... (dare I say it, but like the movie section on an iPad)
Any ideas are appreciated as I am currently stumped.
Thanks in advance.
