Ok so what app do I need to get that will allow me to play you-tube in full screen portait ? A big missing feature coming from IOS
I am not having any luck finding out where my favorites are in Chrome, I just see mobile bookmarks and no other option to navigate to favorites. What I am missing ?
Vimeo not working in Chrome but works in native browser, seriously ?
The cleansing of the full phone search feature is really sad, the wifi reception is pretty weak but otherwise this phone is awesome coming from 4 plus years of iphones.
Flipboard on a 4.8 inch screen is incredible.
Thanks in advance

Yes I know I can get full screen support in landscape mode but thats not what I am after.

I'm not sure I get the point of full screen portrait when video is landscape. Do you mean like how it will be black around the video with no other information in portrait?

For Chrome, click on "Boommarks" to the left of where it says "Mobile Bookmarks" and it will take you up a level where you'll see a folder of your desktop bookmarks. See attached screen grab. Love this feature, btw.
As for the weak wifi, I agree. Doesn't do as well as my iPhone 4 did. But, the iPhone 4 and 4s sure can't do what this phone can.

I was wondering the same thing. After all, if the Video is fully from side to side, the only difference would be full black over the top and bottom section rather than additional info.
the vimeo thing works in stock because it uses flash player. it will never work in chrome because it will never have flash player.

Good to know about Chrome not supporting flash - What confuses me is that Vimeo works fine on IOS devices which of course do NOT support flash. And to add to that I am not seeing many flash sites mostly news sites work on this phone. The Adobe flash app thats native to this device seems to do nothing...
As far as youtube, IOS 4 or newer renders a full screen portrait mode, that somewhat compresses the content on the sides and magnifies the image. Its basically doing a zoom function which is pretty sweet. I thought for sure there would be some Android app that could do the same. I find it silly to have this giant screen and when I play in portrait I get a 1.5X1.5 video with the rest of the screen filled with useless text.
I can easily find my mobile bookmarks in Chrome, what I dont see is the bookmarks I have been saving in favorites. How does one get to the actual saved favorites folder ? It should not be this difficult. The bookmarks in the stock browser are much easier to navigate -

So I just got my G Tab yesterday. I've rooted it and slammed on Vegan. I'm really impressed with this thing. The one issue I seem to be having is that I download wallpapers (1024x600) but they never show up properly on it. They are always cropped. Am I doing something wrong?
Also, is there a way to verify that my screens resolution is correct? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Happy new G Tab guy
Yeah, that happens to me too. It seems the wallpapers only show the full art in portrait mode.
The only way I have seen to recify that issue is to download MultiWallpaper Live from the market. Set the single picture that you want was your wallpaper as the default wallpaper and it will fit to the screen as you would expect it to.
I still haven't figured out how to correctly display wallpaper without the use of this program on my GTab.

The correct app for this is MultiPicture Live Wallpaper, which is free. https://market.android.com/details?id=org.tamanegi.wallpaper.multipicture
After you install MultiPicture Live, it will appear as an option within "Live wallpapers".

You may have to try the market fix (go down to Part Three). However in my experience you will lose access to the device on the 'Web Market' (your device will disappear, never to be seen again). I have not figured out how to fix that, so be warned before trying it.
When I check the 'market', there's a list of apps I look for specifically (Not because I use all of them, but they seem to cover most of the filters). Some of them I've noticed are only available BEFORE the fix, and some (most) only available AFTER:
Adobe Flash/Air*
Mozilla Firefox*
Dolphin HD
Google Apps (Maps, Voice, Youtube, Voice Search, Gmail)
Launcher Pro
ADW Launcher (probably same filter as LP)
Titanium Backup
Yahoo! Messenger Plugin (Voice & Video)
Smart Keyboard
*means they are only available BEFORE the fix, they disappear from the market afterwards, so if you want them, be sure to download them first (may be others).
Of course, these are only the ones I know about, YMMV.
EDIT: If you still have trouble finding it and have another Android device (like a phone), you can download it there first, then back it up (eg. with Astro or TB), then sideload it onto the tablet (copy it over using preferred method, such as USB or Dropbox, then open it with a file manager on the tablet).
multipicture
I have tried puting different backround pics on each screen which works fine until I reboot and then I get a "picture not available" message on all the screens. I have tried several times with the same result.
I am a newbie - what the heck am I doing wrong!
Agree on the 1024x1024. However, if you can't find background in that resolution or no photoshop skill to make it so, use crop wallpaper.
Depend on the image, set it with the gtab horizontal or vertical.
Voila, no low rez crap background.

I'm really curious about actually getting this problem fixed. I don't have very much knowledge, however I am a quick learner. can anyone shed some light on whats causing this problem in android and why its present in every rom?
I've got a bit of free time until summer semester starts and i wouldnt mind spending some time on getting this fixed once and for all.

It's the built in gallery app made by cooliris, which is 16bit. Google's own gallery app that was there before android 2.1 was 24 bit. They opted for the 3rd party solution probably for it's 3d interface to attract more regular consumers.
I love google's apps for it's functionality. But IMO, graphical interface smoothness is not one of their strong areas.
I am on Calkulins 1.1, Clemsyn 9, Launcher Pro, and my wallpaper was always 1/3 cut off and moved to the bottom of the screen. Last night I switched to Go Launcher and it was fixed. Wallpaper looks perfect. Go Launcher has about 7 themes that are free and really cool. It functions a lot like Launcher Pro and is free.
happened to me
Got my gtab a few days ago and tried some new launchers tonight, when I switched to the toshiba launcher my wallpaper messed up. Live wallpapers work fine but normal ones are cropped, tried the fix posted but I got a "no photo to display" message and I don't know what folder the wallpapers are in to fix it.
EDIT: Another long thread on this same issue here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1510251
Is anyone else experiencing messed up deep black colors (pixelization) in images, wallpaper, etc?
I thought I saw someone else mention this problem, but I can't remember which thread.
This is happening to me with almost every image or photo that has deep blacks in it, including photos I take with the camera and view on the phone!!
EDIT: I tried to attach screenshots of the problem to this post, but the uploaded images end up looking completely normal (gorgeous) when viewed on any other system. On my phone, however, they look like total pixelated garbage.
Do I need to exchange it, or did I screw up a setting somewhere? Any ideas?
I get that with some certain images and sometimes videos too. I believe it was like that on my skyrocket and gs2 too. Super amoled screens have saturated colors and causes black to pixelate even on our HD resolution...
-On another NOTE, Samsung goes 5.3"
I get that too and my skyrocket and gs2 was no different. Some pictures and certain videos. I believe Samsung super amoled screens have over saturated colors which causes the black colors to show up pixelated. Even in our HD resolution screens. Hopefully Samsung will improve this in the future.
-On another NOTE, Samsung goes 5.3"
So this is considered "normal" on Samsung's AMOLED phones? And it happens on every single device?!
I take little comfort in the fact that it's happening to everyone, and I personally consider it unacceptable for any device in 2012.
Some images and videos are totally and completely unviewable -- including every dark wallpaper I've attempted to use, and even many of the photos I've taken with the phone's camera. The photos do look fine when transferred and viewed on another device, of course, but how the hell can I tell if I just took a good picture if it literally looks like I used to MS Paint to draw it!?
How is this acceptable to anyone? What's going on here?
I would return it. Mine had no problem.

You are not the only one having issues. I am having the same problems, and I took mine back to best buy. I had them test there new units, and they had the same issues. Then I went to a local AT&T store and all of their demo units had the same problems. I dont know if its because its new release issue, but its very annoying! Also, open the android market and the grey tabs on the home screen mine have bands running through them, then also the skype app home screen you can really tell it.
Sadly, blocky artifacts for me.

i can tell you positively that video plays perfect on my Note..
I took five co-workers in the breakroom and made it pitch dark and when playing that video nobody can even tell where my screen ends and the phone begins because the black blends so well..
Not to say I never see blotches but its only on low res images or if the video just sucks.
That's how screens are.. the nexus is similar

Try the same video on you tube but using the browser. Use this link and view in desktop mode than use you tube app. Then u will see its a software issue.

I wonder if any of our friendly all-star devs can fix it? Do you think it justifies its own thread in the dev forum?

That video is garbage in both the stock browser and YouTube app; however, it looks great in Dolphin HD browser.
The still images I posted also look completely normal in Dolphin HD, but they look like pixelated garbage in every other app -- to include gallery, quickpic, tapatalk, etc.
So, I definitely believe it's a software-based rendering issue of some sort.
Hopefully our all-star devs can fix it, or perhaps the upcoming official ICS release will solve it...
Video looks like garbage for me in YouTube app as well, even with HQ checked. The only way to see it in full quality is to view it in Dolphin Browser HD, with the user agent set to desktop mode.
However, if I do this, another problem arises. The blacks are no longer black, but dark gray. I suspect that in desktop mode, Dolphin Browser doesn't know how to convert RGB16-235 to full range. Does anyone have any ideas? This is definitely a software issue.
On my Galaxy Nexus, both the Facebook app and m.facebook.com present the full "Timeline" view with cover photo and links to About, Photos, Friends, Likes.
On my Springboard (running ICS and "high resolution" mode), I get a pared-down view with only cover photo, buttons for friending and messaging, write post and share photo. I am not able to browse any other aspects of one's profile unless I load the desktop page.
Any idea why Facebook has LESS features on a tablet than on a phone? Has anyone managed to force the full mobile Timeline view to work?
Don't know what would make the difference. They both come up the same on my phone and springboard. Have you tried Friendcaster though? Way better then thee actual Facebook app.
Okay screenshots. Here is the public profile of a local politician who I haven't friended, but her permissions allow lots to be shown on her profile so she makes a good example.

Both screenshots are from the Facebook app, same version, latest from Google Play. Neither is a browser shot.
Notice in both shots there is a three-dot menu button on the taskbar. That would not be there if I were viewing it from the browser.
but touch.facebook.com looks the same like your screens....so fb app only display touch fb site
Nonetheless, the problem is that on one device it's displaying all the correct links/buttons and on the other it isn't.

There we go, that's more like it.
The thing is, our devices are the same dimensions as the Nexus 7. Chances are any app broken on ours will be broken on Nexus 7, no? Hopefully that gets the devs' asses in gear. Although if the fixes only work on JB, we're still out of luck.
Due to an unrelated matter I had to change my Facebook password. Upon signing back into Facebook, all the Timeline elements started showing up again. Strange, but happy that I finally have the full feature set again!
I have a problem with logging in to facebook with any app. It works from the browser, but friendcaster, the official facebook app, and any other application that gets news from facebook crashes when i want to login. I use cm10 rom, does anybody else have this problem?
Stock is fine. Maybe someone broke an important API in CM10?

There is no way to make it full screen and i cant rewind or ff most the time. Whay do i need to change to make videos open in a video app by default and not in the browser. It does it on the stock browser as well as dolphin. Any help would be appreciated.

This may or may not solve your specific problem with Facebook, but lets say you wanted Youtube videos to play in the Youtube app instead of in the browser, all you have to do is go to settings>application associations (i think that's the name, it should be right under applications) and change the video player from browser to Youtube, or whichever app you would prefer videos be played in, you can do that with any of the options available in that section. Though certain apps like facebook where its a video uploaded to their service will probably still only play there.
I hope this helps!
Did you try in another browser like Chrome ??
I tried the settings in app associations, still no go. Also tried this in firefox and got the same result. Any othet suggestions

Try downloading Chrome and setting it to your default for web links. On mine when I used the stock browser everything opened in there no matter what my app associations were, but when I had Chrome set all of them worked.
It's all integrated pretty deep into the OS in Sense 4 iirc. Hoping it's removed in 5

for instance is that camera + gallery case.
Great Concept!
Something i was waiting for...
Really nice !! Working good on Nexus 5 4.4.4 my little cusin will be mad because he won't able to mess with my phone while he is gameing
So this basically is Child Mode implementation if WP8? Or restricted profile in Android tablets right?
Great work for parents >)
Great app
Hi,
This is a great app and is working well but I just wanted to report a slight bug... if in kids mode the homebutton on my Samsung Galaxy S5 is held down then Google Now launches. This isn't so much of an issue but if a search is performed then Chrome opens and the kids are able to get on the Internet and mess with bookmarks etc.
Thanks for your great work on this

Think of it as a launcher, only the apps you want in it can be seen.
What are the soft keys that you are using?

What is exactly happening ?
Is it reverting to home screen, recent screen or google search ?
Can you explain a bit more ?
Thanks for making this module! I was thinking that this is just what is needed using Xposed after looking into the parental controls that are in Amazon tablets, and things like the OLPC tablet, and Nabi.
I hope that this can grow into a full featured parental control app with usage time limits, and tracking of what apps are used most. Then no matter what android device I use can be safe from the kids messing up the device, or going where they shouldn't.
If the app usage tracking is added, it could serve much the same purpose as the OLPC tablet does in helping to see what your children are interested in. You could make available many different subject learning apps and see which your kids use most, and help encourage them to explore more deeply into that subject. All without having to report this information to some huge multinational company like google, amazon, or MS.
Thanks for the module! Has potential, however it isn't quite working on my Nexus 4 N5X ROM 4.4.4. I am able to add shortcuts and enable kids mode, but when I press the home key it takes me to my stock home screen not the kids mode home screen!
