7 inch Honeycomb - Nook Color General

I stopped by a Future Shop today and got to play with the 7" Acer Iconia Tab. Honeycomb 3.2 is really nice and usable at that size, unlike the old SDK ports to the Nook.
Any chance the SDK ports will be resurrected for 3.2?

No, without source there will be no viable HC port, anyway ICS will be out in a month or two.

[Q] Any plans for a 2.3 or 3.2 ROM?

StreakDroid7 and HoneyStreak are both great roms, but not perfect.
StreakDroid is a 2.2.2 ROM, and in my opinion, just an improvement on the stock ROM. HoneyStreak is based on 3.1, which was designed for 10 inch tablets, not 7.
I was wondering if any of the developers here have plans to relase a 2.3, 2.4, or 3.2 ROM, and I would rather run something like that rather than another 2.2 or a 3.1 that was never intended for a 7 inch device.
With the first 3.2 tablet coming soon, I expect a 3.2 ROM to be made by Dell or some XDA members to be coming within the next few months, but it would be nice to know if there are already plans for it.
3.2 is planned once i have a syatem dump of a 3.2 device

Hopefully you can get that soon. Loving the latest version of Streakdroid HD7 tho. 3.2 should be even better!
DJ_Steve, if you can get 3.2 working, I would worship you. HoneyStreak is great, but the display errors are annoying. Getting a 7 inch version of honeycomb would be incredible.
EDIT: I shouldn't really say errors, as the rom runs fine, more like display "issues."
Yea i agree. So if anyone can get a dump off the new huawei tab or has contacts possibly able to do so get on to them

Since streak 7 heave the same screen resolution as streak 5, is possible to port 3.2 to streak 5?
Please, correct me if im wrong.
Since the Streak 5 has the same resolution, and the same LCD density (160) if there is a port, I doubt the screen would cause any problems.

Xoom vs nexus 7 jelly bean vid

Hey everyone,
Made this video to compare the 2., You can see the clear winner as far as 'butter' experience goes. I'm happy with both, but I thought I share

we had a kindle. Lovely device... until the nexus came out.
You can't even utilize things like Google voice, maps with gps etc.
But I guess that still counts. I would never put the kindle in the same category as these devices though. We had one until 2 days ago. It sold within 10 minutes, which was $135

You're gonna love the nexus 7 if you are coming from the kindle. Like I said, we are coming from a fire, and it's night and day. Maybe if I rooted the kf, it would have been closer. But I don't like to root devices my other half is using. I only root the stuff I use.

guys, quick little update. I shut off the live wallpaper on the xoom, and it's considerably faster now. Still not 'just like nexus 7' but much much smoother. I'm gonna make another video now and you guys will see the improvement in smoothness and performance. FWIW, I also went from 110 to 111 nightly.

I was going to say... you kind of crippled the Xoom having the wallpaper up. While the n7 was made for jellybean I think its more a product of having such newer hardware in the n7 compared to the Xoom. You have faster memory, quad core, and a more powerful GPU on the n7. Even though PPI settings are set higher for the n7, effectively you have less going on, less screen real estate etc for the same or similar resolution. I'd like to see the build.prop edited on the Xoom the same as the n7 if it could be displayed without crashing with everything possible configured the same. I think you are still going to see the fact that the n7 is a generation newer processor wise will still beat out the Xoom.
On the other hand, it still looks pretty nice on the Xoom. Jb breathes new life into dual core devices!

video is rendering still, when done, here is the link

As he correctly points out in the video, he's using a custom hacked together ROM on the Xoom vs. a stable ROM on the Nexus 7. What he doesn't mention is that the Xoom ROM is a port. It's not compiled from source...it can't be. Google hasn't dropped the Xoom source code for JB into AOSP yet.
Let's compare this again when the Xoom actually has source code available and someone compiles a raw AOSP ROM for it, thus we can compare apples to apples.

you think Google builds aosp source code for every device? your smokin!
hash code built jellybean from SOURCE and created the device tree, added necessary drives, and compiled. far from a port, I would only assume the same was done for the Xoom. a port? cmon!
Your accent is ridiculous. Good comparison though.

OK you're right, I stand corrected. You can probably build for the wingray and stringray out of what's there now, but there are still no binaries for JB for either the Xoom or Nexus S. I'd imagine things will still run better once that stuff is available, particularly updated graphics drivers.

2012 Tablet Comparison, is Nexus 7 better?

Hey guys, I'm thinking about buying the nexus 7. Came across this article that compares all the current tablets. Is the source accurate? Should I buy the 16gb or 8gb one?
Source
Specs look about right, except I think the Kindle fire has 1024x600.
For it's price and size the nexus 7 is the best. If you want full sized go for the transformer infinity.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Get the 16gb version asap. This device rocks. Very fast across the board.
there are a few not on the list dropping shortly. If you have 500 dollars i suggest Huawei media -pad 10 , 200, tegra 3 acer a110 similar nexus 7 less screen resolution but does has sd card slot and hdmi port. Might research more before you decide. and the nexus will get best support and development. so cant go wrong there either.
What do people think on how the n7 compares with Motorola xoom2 8.2 media edition which can be picked up for around 200 UK pounds...and will also receive the jb upgrade?

I was hoping that the 2011 tablets that haven't sold too well like the Xoom would drop to near fire sale prices because of the N7 but I guess not.

Given that you are asking on XDA...the Nexus 7 is guaranteed to have a massive development following. Other tablets are hit and miss. For example, the A500 has way more development than the A200, event though the A200 was one of the first ICS tablets on the market. What is especially weird is that the A200 has an unlockable bootloader and the A500 does not. But by the time the A200 came out, all the devs already had an A500. Acer tablets are very close to stock google, and they are pretty good about updates, but you never know where the development will be. So the A110 may be a great tablet...but given the massive presence the N7 has in the 7" tablet development world...I have my doubts.
It's just that i have purchased the n7 and not sure whether to keep or sell and get the xoom 2 media edition 8.2 which i can buy for a little more than the n7?

You are correct sir.
I have the Acer A100 and a Xoom. The A100 is good battery sucks so unless you can get one for around 100-120 don't waste your time get the N7. I can't really say anything bad about the Xoom is has reliable and will get a JB update. Now I think the 7inch screen is too small and personally I believe 8 is the perfect size. so I might try the Xoom 8.2 once they are cheap enough.

I just like 8 inches for a tablet not too big or small. For updates and support you can beat the N7.

That is $200 plus 24 times $ the amount you contracted to pay every month for two years. Not at all the same as owning a device out right.

Get 16G
I got the 16G, would have been happier if they had an 32G option like the Galaxy Nexus phone or an SD slot but 16G is usable, I wouldn't consider 8G given that it lacks an SD slot.
The performance of the Nexus 7 is very snappy and Jelly Bean is a real improvement over ICS so if you are going to get a 7 inch tablet the N7 is definitely the way to go.
I can't find a Xoom for any cheaper than $300 still. If it was like 150 or less, it'd be bought in a heartbeat.

Do you guys think the price might go down during the holidays for Nexus 7?
I don't think the price will go down soon with so many places being sold out and play store stop taking orders for the 16gb.

Cyanogen Official

Hi All, bit of a random question but I'm considering getting a Nook HD+ in exchange for my Asus Transformer tf101 which I've had for a little while now. My plan had been to make sure whatever I got next was an officially supported Cyanogen device or at least has a decent level of developer support as I've had bad luck with companies giving up on their devices just after I buy them.
Is the HD+ official? Worth the swap?
I think i could pritty much do a straight swap money wise and I've loved my Nook Simple touch (rooted of course!)
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk HD
The is no "official" ROM/support from Cyanogen for the HD/HD+.
Ah okay so it's just for the colour and nook tablet then?
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk HD
Indeed, yes. There is however unofficial support for CyanogenMod here at XDA for the Nook HD and HD+.
To find out the full list of officially supported CyanogenMod devices; check out CyanogenMod's site: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/index.php?title=Devices# (you may need to click "show all devices" besides the filter).
Regardless, even those devices which are officially supported - not all of them are updated to the latest version of CM. For example, the HTC Wildfire is still stuck on CM7 and I doubt it maybe updated to CM10.1.
I will add though that running CM10 on my HD+ emmc is running flawlessly for me, and I consider it more than worth my upgrade from the Color. I don't know why it couldn't be an official release with the solidity of it. I don't really know Cyanogenmod's procedures and determining factors there.
