This defo needs a major update. Could look really nice on the nexus 10. Emailed the developer but no reply. Anyone know you makes it?

That's what I been using. I haven't had any issues with it whatsoever. It looks amazing on the Nexus 10.
It doesn't crash all the time for you? It would be fine if it didn't crash every time I re-open it...

Crashes pretty consistently here. I'd agree with OP
I retract my statement. It does take about three consecutive tries to get it to open randomly. Once in though there are no issues/crashing. I agree it needs updating to stop the initial crashes. It looks and feels too great to not be updated.
I wish they would optimize it more for tablets more. They said they would update it to a real tablet UI last spring. Obviously that didn't happen.

Its annoying they said they would update it. And yeah mine crashes a few times before it loads properly. I shall see if I can ever get a reply from the dev as the normal xda premium app even has widgets now

I also wish they would make it more tablet optimized. I just purchased it last night just so i don't have to look at the fuzzy XDA icon on my home screen. :/
Side note, I LOVE the N10 display, but man does it make A LOT of apps/content look like **** lol

Both apps art pretty laggy to me but at least the tapa talk doesn't crash a lot as well as it will open up links properly. I almost prefer just to use my browser because it is a much smoother experience
Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk HD
Tapatalk HD just started giving me issues with displaying images last night. I viewed an image, changed to landscape, and then had to back completely out of the app to get the image off the screen. The app still responds in the background to touch/button input, but the screen still displays the image.
I'm not having any problems with xda hd. It runs with no force closes, but it is pretty laggy when scrolling.
I am not having any problems with this app either. But I am using the premium one.

Quick discussion. Nexus 7 or Kindle Fire HD

I know there are no "door buster" deals with either of these tablets, but I don't work tomorrow and want to buy one. Was hoping there were people in the rezound community who own one of these and can chime in with their own personal feelings. I've done a fair amount of research and I'm torn. The locked bootloader if the kfhd is the main thing making me lean towards the N7.
Discuss!!

I would go for the nexus 7. Everybody I know loves their N7. You get a great JellyBean experience and guaranteed updates.

I picked up a Nexus 7 32gb about two and a half weeks ago at Wal-Mart and couldn't be happier. I debated about the Kindle HD and Samsung Galaxy tabs but after much research I decided to go with the Nexus 7. I'm already running JB 4.2 and get awesome battery life.
I sync my N7 with Calibre on my PC for my daily news feeds. I used to use my Kindle keyboard but that's being gifted to mom for Christmas.
When I'm out I tether to my Galaxy S3 so no worries about searching for Wi-Fi.

Definitely the nexus 7. The development available is amazing, and everything else about it is just perfect. I wasn't that excited about it. I honestly only bought it because I heard it was such a big deal and saw the preorder people ripping google a new one so I went to staples and they had them in stock so I bought it.
I have an iPad 2 and a nice transformer prime and do some development on the prime, but I accidentally fell in love with the nexus 7 because of the device itself, the convenience, and especially the development.

The best thing I did to my wife's Kindle Fire was root it and install JB on it. Being stuck on that Amazon app store sucks. I know you can sideload apps, it's easier just being able to pull up the Play store and be done with it.

Personally, I think its perfect. I got it to mount on my treadmill so I can watch movies while running. And for that I think its the perfect size. After using it for a day I think I prefer the 7 over the 10.

I wonder if its possible to get a port of Ubuntu phone from the nexus 4 to the OG.
And if so would you have to have the nexus conversion done.

....that's your personal opinion. I think that Ubuntu for phones will essentially be more powerful than android and will bring a variety of new possibilities to the table along with a cool new interface. The only negative thing I could think of is not being able to use android apps.
Wait lol was that sarcasm?
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda premium
New interface may be fun to tinker with I guess. The phone ecosystem is all about the apps, though.
All I see is a potentially more bloated os, much worse power management, less apps, etc. But I may be completely wrong.
Regardless it will be interesting to see if this and mozilla's phone os end up being worth a crap.

if you care about benchmarks then get the nexus 10, amazing speed, amazing sound, and AMAZING graphics.
if you only want one of these two (nexus 7 or ipad mini) i would go for the nexus 7. the nexus 7 might seem slower than the ipad mini but is actually really fast (i have one, as do i have a nexus 10). and the thing with ipads are that basically all you can do is download a bunch of games. its not really good for anything else. so if you like playing A LOT of games go for ipad mini and if you want just a few games and some other cool stuff (like root, etc) go for nexus 7
Yeap.. I do play lots of games... so I should go for IPad mini??

I don't recommend gaming on nexus 7. The nexus 10 is your best bet. Nova 3 works the best on it and it has the best benchmarks. If you aren't willing to cough up the cash then go for the mini. Honestly, the next tablet I'm going to get is an iPad. Sorry everyone, I've been captured.

[ROM] [TEST] [AOKP] [4.2.2] Windroid 8

Closed
Getting "Error install aborted". Finding a fix now. Release 1 might get delayed.
Pushing Release 1 til finished. Getting errors on flash.
Turns out that it's Ubuntu that's causing issues with compression. I am going to complie on my sisters laptop later. So check tonight for the file.
Heres the dealo. First release is going to combine apps from play store. Second release is changing boot animation and Ringtones. Third is change font and default system sounds. Forth is going to be bug fixes and change it to a stable. Fifth is going to add a change of first boot looks to make my rom special and different then a Modded AOKP. Sixth I add a custom status bar to make us special. Seventh bug fixes and stable it. Eighth is settings menu is going to be changed to Windows 8 phone. Ninth is bug squashing. And that's the planned minium by ideas.
Update! Gonna combine all first 3 releases into 1. That way less flashing. Follow my Google + account: [email protected] for updates on the project. First release in 7 days (9.27). Loving the support!

Your opinion. I posted this around 2 hours ago so people want it as you can see. Lots of responces in a short time
340 views in 9 hours! Impressive. Seems like people like Windows 8 phone. So because of the interest, if anyone will like to donate to expand support to multiple devices. I'll set up PayPal later. Next device to buy is Nexus 5. I'll preorder the device when it's announced and complile on there as well. I want this rom to be as popular as CM! Ambitious but will happen with your support.

It's going to start as a themed AOKP rom and turn into an epic rom with original status bar to settings menu. You have to start somewhere. It's my first rom as well. So first few releases are themed AOKP then turns into a great and original rom. I want this to turn into a perfect and original rom like CM. Starting small.

I'm poor man lol. The thing is I need a windows phone to match the ROM 100 percent accurately. Goal is 85 for a low end unlocked phone. I'm setting up a kick Starter later tonight. First release of the rom is set for 9.27. It's early but I'm committed to providing a rom made for accuracy. 85 is needed to make it original because I am coding parts of the ROM and I want a windows phone for a base start. Kickstarter link come in later.
Sent from my SCH-I545 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
This is the dealo for real. The ROM can go as far as pre made things put together. Without a windows phone for a base, I can't code my stuff. I'm going to get a windows phone soon so until then first release is just pre-made stuff. Kickstarter is to hard to put my rom on it (they want to much info). So I need to buy the phone when I get into some money. Sorry but thats the only way. If anyone have a windows phone laying round they mind giving, then perfect. But Yup. The project is still going. But can only go so far. Love ya XDA!

Most demos are real phones but in a special mode. If you can hand one off to me then I can start coding if not then I need to wait for christmas. Any Windows 8 phone will do. Testing a bunch of apps and setting now. So far going well for a 1 man thing (My other friend is busy with work)
