Hi guys!
I need your help in something that looks like a little problem, but for me it's very, very annoying.
I have an ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T, which I jumped from 4.2.1 to 4.4.4 (CROMBi-kk Custom ROM by @sbdags). With this change I lost the ability to make old apps that were designed for old mobile phones to use the entire screen in portrait mode. One of the apps that I'm talking about is "iMobsters".
Now those old apps use about 20-25% of the tablet screen in portrait mode, and it's stuck this way no matter what I try... It's very annoying, cuz you need to watch real closely to be able to read something, and it ruins the gameplay experience...
I hope you guys can give me a solution to my problem. Maybe an app is the sollution to my problem?
Anyone?
I still have this problem. Sollution?
Try the Xposed Framework + App Settings Module.
I tried, it's not working.
Basically, it's not working at all. No matter what I try, it doesn't do anything...

Hi,
So I just recently got the Galaxy Tab 10.1 and I have to say I'm a bit disappointed. I am familiar with Android and I know what I'm doing (or so I think lol) but some things just aren't working and I don't know if it's me or software limitation. Regardless I'm hoping someone can shedd some light on these...
1. The market is lacking a LOT of applications that are available on phones. Is that right? I thought it would just scale for the most part....I can't even find the official Facebook app on the market. Am I looking in the wrong place or something? Hulu? Netflix??
1a. Some applications that I sideload (mainly widgets) like typoclock or something of that sort....install, but when I go to add the widget it is not there, as if never installed. Even when I try to reinstall it, it says that it will replace the old one so i know for a fact that it installs, but the widgets aren't available, and they arent listed in the installed apps drawer either.
2. It seems kind of sluggish...and I really haven't installed much, even from a cold boot...it's kinda laggy, not as quick as I have seen on some review videos. Quadrant scores around 1400-1500. I Rooted it, installed the latest SunBurst ROM and overclocked to 1.4Ghz and it's still laggy often despite nearing 3000 on quadrant now.
3. So I couldn't get any Netflix apk to work on it stock, so once I rooted, installed Sunburst ROM it came installed with a Netflix app, but I don't think it's official since the icon is orange and has a little android on it. Needless to say THAT app doesn't work and CAN'T be installed (I figure it's cooked onto the ROM) regardless I found a Netflix apk that install and replaces it, and works...but after one day it reverts back to the old netflix and doesn't work. So pretty much everytime I want to use Netflix I have to reinstall and overwrite with the new Netflix apk I found...it's annoying. (and the search function doesn't work on that Netflix either)
I know it's a lot to rant about and a lot of issues, and I love the tab and honeycomb, but I can't believe these issues still persist. I hope someone can help me with one/all of these and I will be forever grateful.
Thanks, hope someone can help...
1a. Try a restart after you install a widget. It seems that if the widget is not made for HC, it doesn't appear before you restart.
i tried rebooting but that didn't help any unfortunately...
There's a netflix 1.3 APK somewhere that sideloads perfectly. I haven't tried it with Touchwiz yet - I haven't even touched Touchwiz.
Try stock ROM first. Your ROM might have broken something. I know Bonsai completely broke USB storage support as an example, and Starburst claims to be the "most complete and fastest Touchwiz experience" which means it's going to have missing and broken things. Any ROM dev making claims like that is compensating for something. The "hacked-icon" Netflix app is an obvious sign they went a LITTLE too far.
Netflix sideload works perfectly on my Tab. Unrooted. TouchWiz. Stock.
i tried netflix fix on starburst rom, it did work but reverted back to fcs after a reboot. i switched to bonsai 3, netflix seems to be working fine even after a reboot.
2. It seems kind of sluggish...
The default launcher is a bit sluggish, it is a honeycomb issue. For me I have seen after a "reboot", the tab does take a couple of minutes to "settle", then it is smooth for me, but if you have lot of widgets on your homescreens it will be sluggish, my experience in any case.
thanks to all you guys for all the replies.
As far as the Netflix, I know I do have the correct apk I think the issue is that it isn't playing nice with the one that is baked into the rom. I guess I will have to install another rom.
However I haven't heard anything on the apps, is that right? There's no Facebook? Anyoneelse having issues with Widgets not appearing?
For Facebook search for an app in the market called 'Friend Me'
Looks great and works great =)
for getting rid of sluggishness try this launcher: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1188701

Thanks! Good call, app looks great!
@js931,I'll give that launcher a try and see how it goes.
I understand and feel for you on your problems. My 3rd (and final) Galaxy Tab is on the way to me from Amazon.com. I also have an Asus Transformer on the way as well and the device that gives me the least amount of problems is the device I plan to keep. I want to like the Tab but I don't have high hopes since I'm about to be on my 3rd device. The 2nd one worked perfectly after Touchwiz for a while - even fixed issues I was having such as the typing lag - but the issues I had with the first one (screen and/or Wifi doesn't respond after bringing the device out of sleep) resurfaced a few days ago. The 2nd Tab also had something loose on the inside as it produces a loud rattling noise whenever it vibrates. While that is easily cured by turning off the vibration, I paid $600 for this device and I expect it to be near-perfect. So any little issue I have with this 3rd Tab means it's going back for a refund and I'll keep the Transformer... assuming it behaves like it should, lol.
At any rate, good luck with your issues. The Tab is a beautiful device but seems to be problematic... at least that's my experience with it.
Seems like the correct place for this:
Anyone know of a ROM or program that will allow me to set it up so that she has limited access to programs/system?
Perhaps a launcher I can lock down such that it only shows her games and gallery video player, camera, etc.?
I figure I will use Button Remapper to deactivate the search/home/menu/back buttons (otherwise she will accidentally hit them when watching a video or playing a game).
Not sure what to do about the soft buttons---she needs to be able to access menus and go back somehow.
Oh, she is 3. She uses it all the time and loves the games I put on there, but the issues above need to be resolved before it is practical for her to use. It has been gathering a lot of dust since I got my new phone, and she really wants to have her own computer...
Any other ideas are welcome too of course.
Thanks

To recommend a rom that would satisfy both her needs and yours I would look towards a 2.2 froyo based rom, any of them would do but for perfomance for games and working camera I would go with Beasty.
To be able to lock certain system settings and apps you can look into a face lock app from the market. There are numerous free versions to try out, but one you find the one thqts works right for your needs suggest purchase version for more options.
In a similar situation...handing down the tablet to my nephews and niece. They really want to be able to video chat. Are there any HC/ICS based ROMs that have the camera working? I've been away too long and haven't kept up with dev. Hoping someone can help me narrow down the search.
TIA!
Hey folks, have this game on my arc s & it works fine. However, on my Sony S the accelerometer seems disorientated. Holding the tablet in landscape mode as you would expect to use it, it always steers to the right (its almost like it wants you to hold it in portrait to play it) Ive tried recalibrating both horizontal & vertical in the settings, but short of slightly altering it, its completely unplayable :-(
This also happens in the game 'little robots', but the 3d maze works as expected?!?!
Am i missing something or does somethin need changing?
thanks in advance
Its the same with mine. Cant play the game due to this issue. Hope someone can give us a solution coz gtfree seems kinda fun.

hi!
i tried to ask on the main topic, but no real answers.
the problem is, uhm, that my tablet crashes.
once, twice a day. no matter what application i'm using...it freezes and i must turn it off and on again. it remains still with a black and white screen, on grey sometimes, no icons or images on it.
sometimes it crashes and starts vibrating like the aptic feedback until i turn it off.
other times my apps just close and tablet still responds.
oher times i experiment lag, or icons disappear fron the desktop.
other disappointing thing is the youtube search menu and keyboard flashing and vanishing, but only in the first screen with the 3d menu.
i tried doing a hard reset...then disactivating native apps....then installing app one by one to see which one is incriminated...none of it worked.
it crashes totally randomly.
1.044 WW etc etc is the firmware version
my question is:
did you experience the same thing...it's the a510, the firmware, acer, tegra 3..anything you want to say OR...it's my tablet that is faulty?
i'm going mad with this damn stupid tablet.
i previously had an ipad, and never figured android could ever be such a pain in the ass.
if it's android, i think i'll go back to ios.

It's not "Android's" fault. Your device may be faulty. Have you tried relashing your rom?
i didn't do anything to firmware.
just reset, without any result.

Try reflashing.
sent it to acer for repair...they sent me a new one as replacement.
well...it freezes the same sometimes..and must force reboot.
by power button.
my firmware is av041 1044.00 ww_gen1
maybe it's software issue as it's been replaced.
my specific apps i installed...don't know.
quite disappointing
this tab is draining my life..
can't study with fear of a freeze or crash every single instant i use it.
i'm the only one who experiences this freezes...on 2 different tablets???
Hi all, I'm new to the forums and to android. I've done some searching and haven't been able to find a solution to my problem, at least in the case of the S3.
I've had my phone just over a week and hadn't noticed any issues until today I realized that landscape mode wasn't working in the web browser. It doesnt seem to want to flip to landscape in other instances I would expect it to either such as in SMS or memo pad. I've tried the gyroscope calibration, tuning auto-rotate on/off, even did a factory reset to see if that would work.
The shortcut to use the camera by tilting to landscape in the lock screen still works so I'm trying to rule out the possibility of a complete hardware malfunction.
I found a post here talking about a similar problem solved by deleting a system file and using a couple shell commands but it's about another galaxy and I can't find the target calibration files in the S3 so I think it's a safe bet that they're different. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=816131&page=2
Anyway I guess my question is does anyone know what the problem might be and if theres a way to fix it? If there is a way to calibrate the sensors using a terminal or something like what was described in that thread I wouldn't mind giving that a shot, but if there is a simpler solution then that would be great too.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Are you using stock launcher? Is the box checked in accessibility options?
Thanks for the reply. Stock launcher, rooted using MrRobinsons bell images here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426 . Have also flashed the original stock rom without root and had the same problem.
And yes the box is checked in accessibility settings.
