hey guys love the forum thank you to all the Devs for there great work
now i must ask i know its been asked before but i never found a clear answer im currenty on bionix v 1.2.1 with the DOW14HD kernel....and i also love to use me vibrant to play games on my LCDTV iwould also like to connect my wiimote as so many already do for there phones is there a way to get bluetooth HID into my phone to do this?
is there a rom for the vibrant that has HID in it i dont know about?
Thanks
anyone....anyone....anyone........ you in the back
There currently isn't a Rom for this phone that has a compatible bluetooth stack other than cyanogen which is unstable. Or at least one that im aware of... There are other devices (zeemote or whatever it is) that work but I personally don't like the look and feel of it...
I will personally go find and post the solution in all of the threads concerning this when I find a reasonable method
hey thanks for the reply.....do you hapen to know if the CM7 scrizz pointed out in q & a forums supports it?

This was asked in that thread...but no one answered. While CM7 seems 'stable enough' there's a series of procedures you need to perform post flash in order to get everything working properly, so it's not recommended if you aren't willing to get a little dirty. I want wiimote functionality real bad as well, but not so bad that I can't wait for CM7 to be 100%
yea thats true im on bionix-v.....we will have to wait and see....guess theresnot enuff mobile gamers to get the wiimote development going.
patiences is a key.......
I'm running Cm7 right now and setup only took 15 mins and its really stable i dont have a wiimote tho so i cant say if it does work or not
see the only thing im worried about with CM7 as of now....is that theres no TV out....thats one of the best features on SGS line.....im ganna wait until thats fixed...but also the BLUETOOTH HID san also be used by a bluetooth keyboard or mouse.....just to try.
agreed agreed
Wii remote does work in CM7, but as mentioned, no video out (or GPS).
Are there any roms that support tv out as well as bluetooth controller support? I haven't noticed any but I don't follow too many of them...
1. How is video acceleration on Honeycomb? I heard either Bos or Illuminate has video acceleration?
2. Best overclocking kernel for beginners. I'm looking for a quick and easy solution to install. Post the best tutorial(s)
3. Does netflix work? If so, post the best tutorial(s)
4. I have a Seagate Freeagent 1.5tb portable hard drive (USB 3.0). Will I be able to hook that up to the tablet and watch my movies/videos on it?
Thanks!
EDIT: I bought it from Tigerdirect.ca for $269 + taxes and it should be here on Monday
*Sigh*
The current honeycomb roms are not recommended for beginners. Right now, only froyo has full hardware acceleration. Nothing else have hardware acceleration. I suggest you start out with froyo first before you take it further.
All honeycomb roms are in their alpha stages and therefore only recommended for testers and experienced users. I swear, if I see another beginner whining about the lack of full functionality on the honeycomb roms...
I'm not complaining. Just inquiring
goodintentions I'm going to borrow your line,
I highly recommend an iPad.
Read, Read, Read!!!!!!
Do your homework before you write the final exam Seriously, I've done more reading on here than I've done modding on my Gtab. There are plenty of sources of good info on here. Don't rush into action before you read the experiences and recommendations of others.
Start with the stock 3588.
Use it for a few days.
Then try Vegan-Tab for a few days.
Then try Vegan Gingerbread RC1
You can also try CM7
If you're happy, dont change.
If you have learned all the nuances, and want to experiment, learn NVFlash and go nuts...
But what about playing videos from the external hard drive mentioned?
To give you an idea of the mentality recently on this site, I'l edit your post title...
"Just bought a G-Tablet, DON'T WANT TO LOOK FOR MY OWN ANSWERS"
Just today, I read a post that spoke ot external harddrives. I haven't personally tried it yet, but someone mentioned that as long as the hard drive works under it's own power (not a flash drive) that it should work. But here's an idea for you, plug it in and try it...see for yourself if it works or not.
to your other questions:
1. How is video acceleration on Honeycomb? I heard either Bos or Illuminate has video acceleration?
On Froyo roms it works fine, Gingerbread roms have a pieced together form of it by overclocking, but there are no Nvidea drivers for Gingerbread. Likewise, there are also no drivers for Honeycomb.
2. Best overclocking kernel for beginners. I'm looking for a quick and easy solution to install. Post the best tutorial(s)
Look for your own tutorials, man. I've been using Calkulin/Clemsyn combo for about a week and love it. (Clemsyn part is the kernel) Really, you'll only find 2 different kernels that are popular. Clemsyn and Pershoot. Both are great
3. Does netflix work? If so, post the best tutorial(s)
Netflix only works 100% on CM7, but tweaking is necessary. Right now, I suggest that you forget about netflix and use the tablet for apps that actually work on it.
to be honest, all of your questions can be answered simply by browsing these forums. Hell, just looking for 10 minutes I can find a post called "Best Roms?" "Fastest most stable roms?" There are many about netflix alone. And It's basic knowledge, from reading, reading, and more reading, that ONLY FROYO ROMS HAVE HARDWARE DRIVERS THAT ENABLE ACCELERATION.
now, start reading...when you think you're done, read some more. When you're done, go to Slatedroid and read some more...and then some more...pretty soon, you'll be an expert!

The deal breaker for me on the HC ROMS so far is that I can't seem to get then to work with any exchange email programs. Having access to my corporate outlook is critical for a daily use ROM. Anyone know how to beat that issue?

1) Only SW acceleration which seems to work OK for up to 480p
2) My opinion Clemsyn for Froyo, Pershoot for Gingerbread
3) It works great with CM7 stable
4) Doubt it since I think Freeagent requires power from the USB port, but try it and let us know. It should not hurt anything.
I tried Vegan Tab 5.1.1, BoS, CM7.0.3, and a bunch of others that did not last long for various reasons. I have completely settled on CM7.0.3 Stable and have a very solid tablet which I have not had to repartition at all (with 5.1.1 I was always having to repartition after crashes). Tried CM7.1 release candidate and it gave me fits with a few things, so I am going to wait to the next RC before I move. I really, really like CM7 and it works with Netflix (need to get the netflix app from here). On CM7, I use MoboPlayer to play movies. It has a setting where you can disable HW acceleration and use SW acceleration. That has worked great for my movies although I do not encode HD, I stay at 480p and thereabouts.

Nah, we're not tough. I've been to tougher forums. At least he got answers to his questions.
BUT, that being said, Kyle is obviously not a master of finding answers for himself. Everytime I ask a question (and I do, trust me) is only after I've read just about every thread I can find that may help me. In other words...if I had a problem with an app not working, first I'd check the Themes and apps section, of THIS forum and Slatedroid. If no answer, then I'll check the thread that specifically deals with the rom I am on, and yes, I'll read every boring page of it. I may even check G-Tablet for Dummies to see if Goodintentions addresses it, or not. THEN, before asking the question ,I'll use this little invention called "Google." You see, "master"kyle, Google is what's called a search engine. If you type words into it, it will give you a list of web pages that might help you with the words you typed.
I have no problem with people that come here with a problem, and tell us that they tried, this, and that, from this thread, or that thread, or that web page, etc...but their problem persists. At least I know that they made the attempt to answer their own questions. But to come here and say that you purchased a device, haven't received it yet, then DEMAND answers to questions in which the answers only require a browsing of the forums (not even a full blown search, just scroll down!!!)
yeah, no patience for those people...they are the ones that really NEED an iPad.
TJ, I intended my post to be facetious. Sorry if that didn't come through. You were all pretty gentle with him - more waterguns than flamethrowers.
Thanks for all of the responses. I am new to this Gtablet forum and I find the information posted about the hardware acceleration is sketchy: BoS or Illuminate roms have said to use hardware acceleration without the proper drivers? Why do you think I asked you all of these questions? I have a freeagent drive and I'm not sure it will work yet since it will be arriving tomorrow. I need to know whether or not to buy a 32gb sd card for the gtablet for some movies. ALL I REALLY WANTED TO KNOW IS WHICH ROM TO STICK WITH ASKING THESE SPECIFIC QUESTIONS. If you cannot understand that, they don't give me some ass-comment "Well you should know and search". If you have a problem with my post, then GTFO. If you wish to help me, then please post a response. I do enjoy some of the posts on this thread. Thanks all

Try this Kyle maybe I got the wrong info but it was my understanding that you couldnt use a 32 gb sd card on a gtab. If I am wrong please someone correct me as I do make mistakes now and then.
Will a 32gb flash or micro sd work?
After following the various video/text guides to install cm7 alpha 2.1 on the TouchPad, I am getting a weird error and non-responsive device.
I have installed cm7 on other TouchPads and had no problem. On this one it re-boots to a screen which says, "Please release keys...". There is no combination of keys which fixes this. Only thing which has worked is to Doctor it.
The only thing different on this TP is that it is the ATT 4G version, which uses a different ROM/Doctor.
I've been searching various forums for 3 days and haven't seen anyone else with this problem.

Really?? I'm shocked! The search function must be broken, I've read at least 20 or 30 threads on this problem...
Considering they're as common as dirt, the Cyanogen touchpad team certainly must had access to that particular model and I have no doubt ensuring the compatibility & functionality of the alpha on that particular model of hardware was their absolute top priority!
I honestly can't imagine what must have precipitated this unforeseen calamity! Fear not! I'm sure the greatest minds on this forum are feverishly working, day & night, without food or bathroom breaks, to determine the root of this dysfunction using the spare ATT 4G Touchpads they had sitting around, relegated to propping doors open, leveling wobbly tables, etc...
over in the rootz forum for CM, apparently, this is a known issue for the 4G models, copmatibility is not yet available, but it is reported on the bug list so im sure it will be fixed, but as usual, no eta's!

Does this have working portable hotspot and tethering? and does the phone read the sd card correctly for music and gallery?
everything is working for me except the video recorder and some video play back is choppy. i was surprised by how good its working for me. Battery life seems to be good to.

Ignorance is bliss .
ICS Android 4 has not been released by Samsung .
XDA have a leaked ICS v KP8 Beat test rom not everything works that's why its not released .
You can install or one of the custom roms built around this . But its not for noobs and will of course void your warranty .
jje
I installed it 1 time and i was not happy whit it so i got back to official stuff xD
I found the latest CM9 build from Codeworkx to be stable enough as a daily use ROM. But I prefer TouchWiz to vanilla, so I switched back. It was very smooth though.
Bwahahaaaahahahahahaha Gold.

Why would you want to go with 4.0 when 5.0 leaked already?! Find it in all its glory here.
buddy do not listen to any of the above posts...here is a link to what you need. it is stable and smooth..trust me its my new daily driver. Click here buddy it is the latest build of ICS Link for latest ICS build
You are all gits. Give him a break, it's a reasonable question due to all the different versions flying round.
Try this thread.
Rather than being smartasses, why not give the guy an actual answer? If you think that said 'noobs' will be re educated by repeatedly posting that video, you're delusional. Either that or you genuinely think the same joke is funny after the 3rd time in a row, in which case, you're still delusional.
With this kind of attitude rife, nobody will learn to use the forum correctly or get the answers they want, creating yet more noobs.
To answer OPs question - no, there is no official ICS builds
from samsung yet. You're welcome to try a leaked build or Cyanogenmod 9, which I personally find stable enough for daily use. If you want real stability with every feature functional, however, you're going to have to wait to the official version from Samsung.
Next time, to avoid this immature nonsense, do a quick search and browse the development forum.

Some good points, however a bit of mickey taking should be expected
I am running the CM9 ICS ROM and it is very good even at this early stage. Bits like audio out through the Sammy car dock aren't working (as you'd expect) and the video issues are annoying but not show stoppers IMO so I'm using this as my daily driver for now and will see what the battery life is like.
The only real way is to do a backup and try it out for yourself.

I'll tell you why.
More and more people are coming to these forums, and disregard everything that's posted. They jump in, create a thread, ask the same questions, and expect us to do the work for them.
If this specific user took the 15 minutes to read, he would quickly understand that there are two versions of ICS for the GS2 - leaked builds from Samsung, and CM9. He would also quickly understand that none of these are "full working ROMs".
However, seeing as he couldn't bother himself for 15 minutes to at least try and figure things out on his own, I definitely can't be bothered to write a valid response and to encourage that kind of behavior.
The video basically says "search before you post". He should search before he posts. It isn't funny, it isn't a joke, its actually pretty sad the video had to be created in the first place. But it was created, and it does exist, and so I'll use it whenever its appropriate.
XDA is not anybody's personal tech support - this is not a 1-800 number to dial if you're having problems or questions regarding your device. It is, though, an enormous hub of information that is readily available to anyone who's willing to put in the tiny bit of effort required to properly use it.
Soulicro well said put it in a nutshell .
Let Rolling star answer this same question 400 times in a month dont mind ten times a day .

As far as I can see, there really isn't any rom out there that will give you Android 4.0 or higher, and that still lets you use the video cam. I'm not too big on recording but I still consider it to be a very integral part of a phone, so of course I don't want to omit on that feature.
Now, ICS has been out for quite some time and the official Android iterations have already moved far ahead, but the latest stable release I can find for Atrix seems to be CM 7. Android 2.3.7. And that was in June 2012. Seems like stone age. Is it really this hopeless or am I missing something?
Lots of apps require at least 4.0 so being stuck on 2.3 feels really frustrating. Any tips on functional roms that aren't missing too many important features?
Wow, after the huge rage over Moto deciding to leave the Atrix behind and all the dozens of threads about that, there are still questions like this?

I started using smart phones two years ago. It took me quite awhile to discover the Atrix, so you could say I missed out on that outrage. I just bought a used Atrix and had hopes of updating it to at least 4.0 but it seems difficult to achieve, despite that a long time has passed. Can it really be that hard to get the recording to work?
Yes, it actually can. Reason being non-existent drivers for proprietary hardware. Sadly this device has been discontinued, despite its great hardware potential, and there is and will be no support for it past GB. So we're left with having to "invent", figure out and piece together stuff on our own.
It's all explained in great detail in many other threads.

Okay, I can buy that, makes sense.
Well, I've managed to find at least some roms at 4.0 and above, so I will try out the most promising ones, starting with AvatarRom and AtrICS. Functionality over "better stats" and all that. And then move on from there. Taking photos and recording is something I do on a regularing basis so it's vital that those parts actually work as intended, other parts I might overlook easier.

AtrICS yes, Avatar no due to their servers being jacked up and the ROM not available (disregard if they actually did get that ROM back up). Krystian's CM9 and Epinter's CM10.1 are your heavy hitters that really are worth looking into for a 4.0 and up experience.
If you want the video and picture quality, you can use the Alpha stage ROMs suggested above, otherwise best advice is stay on GB until more kernel work is done.
Per the first complaint (see thread name), doing this thing called research would have told you what @ravilov mentioned. You say you got into smartphones 2 yrs ago. The Motorola ICS debacle happened Sept 29th-ish, 2012. Thats within 2 yrs, and that was a big backlash they suffered.

I actually found the AvatarRom, albeit not on their homepage but linked from the forum to some other download source. However, that rom didn't work out very well for me. AtrICS seemed complicated due to me not understanding the whole "vendor" thing they mentioned, so I decided to skip that one entirely. After trying out several roms I went back to CM 7.2 since that at least made the phone function quite good (except one app that seems to have a model specific bug in it).
I'll take a look att Krystian's alternative, whatever it's called. Epinter's seemed to have camera issues?
About "getting into smartphones two years ago": At that time, I nearly hated smartphones, which is why I didn't read very much about them (and therefore, I missed that "why no ICS?"-rage). Just because something "big" happens doesn't mean everyone will know about it. Yes, it's okay to ask me which rock I've been sleeping under. However, I can't point out the rock now, I've forgotten where it was.

Really? now that is interesting. I wonder if they just restored the link and didn't update their page. idk, ppl have been having issues with the creators of Avatar ROM for weeks now about getting their stuff in order. AtrICS isn't hard to understand. Flash main ROM, then flash Vendor. Its like any CM ROM. Flash main ROM, then flash Gapps. Same concept. CM7.2 (GB) is going to give you the most stability and fully functioning ROM for this device. until the 3.1.10 kernel is given the Beta status, all 4.0 and up ROMs are considered Alpha stage if they use said kernel.
Krystian's CM9 is 4.0.4 running on the 3.1.10 kernel. Epinter's is 4.1.2 and 4.2.2 running the same. all 4.0 and up ROMs will have camera issues due to the need for updated drivers. drivers we don't have b/c Moto refuses (not worth fighting for anymore) to release them.
The ICS mess happened a yr ago. but yes, I do see your point. for example, these galaxys that keep coming out. I see news about them, but I don't go looking at them or reading the news about them.
AtrIcs is somewhat a stable rom with just few issues like average battery timing and sometimes lag in screen lock.Only thing i love about AtrIcs is stock look of moto . Currently i am on Epinter's Cm 10.1 it's also worth trying especially with motoblur theme from play store it's a treat to have Atrix on stock moto look with jb.
