Why wat wrong? ive also been wondering hows the battery life?

I want to go back to other update...since update some apps aren't on market. I just dislike it overall

I like it. However lots of games I had don't work no more.
They did work with an edited build prop but even now after rooting and editing the build prop again to the lg optimus 2x some games still report 'this device is not supported' There must now also be something else but I don't know what!

This is one reason I'm hesitating about the upgrade. Many, many programs will not work with HC ... yet.

I'm loving the upgrade. System feels nice and snappy. Big performance increase for me.

Interesting. My stock S7 is quite snappy the way it is. My only complaint is the battery life.

I really miss app2sd. I thought HC did some magic and pseudo-combined the data and app storage so that app2sd wasn't needed but I still see the 1.9G app storage. So now I'm completely confused.

And while the system does seem snappier I see no difference in battery life. I'm fighting getting the HTC flyer at the new low price. I might go check it out now.

My Camera works with no issues.
System is snappier but on first night of use battery was an issue. Like most new flashes I'll give it a couple days to settle down and see before passing final judgement.
Only thing so far with my apps, no HOB GO, other than that everything is working but further testing today.

Do you have netflix? Working?

I have it installed and it starts up but I don't have a log in to fully test
Sent from my Dell Streak 7 using xda premium

Netflix isn't working for streaming get I get the same "12001 " error I get with my Toshiba Thrive with 3.1 and my wifes Acer A500 with 3.2, Netflix just has to get on the ball.
As far as a general S7 3.2 opinion, I agree the S7 seems more snappy, most of the apps have matured to their 3.x UI which is generally a big improvement over the 2.2 phone app UI.
Only down side I have experianced is that the Evernote app turns into a real pain after I go the Anderoid Market and let it install the "update" for the app I finally had to uninstall the update and leave the original version intact not that I use the app anyway.

Getting lots of launcher fc's after the cw mod to root. So far I am not impressed DJ steves ran better...

Ive been perfectly happy with DJ Steve's build since it came out. Is there any advantage besides having an official release on the S7. From what I have been reading, I am having doubts of even going through the trouble to upgrade.

Ok day 3, battery is settling down a bit but having problems with a few apps.
Yahoo mail FC after a delete on an individual email
GetJar won't start up at all
Still have a few more apps and games to try.

SPB Shell on the Xoom?

Does it work? Id hate to spend all that moolah and find its broken or slow!
It is a little slow, and really not that impressive from what I have read. I'm not impressed with it on my Epic.
There are a few other threads about it if you search for it. Maybe they are more specific than me.
I do not know if it works on the xoom but i downloaded it for my viewsonic Gtab and it works great! It is really cool, 3D style graphics and runs smooth. I would imagine it runs being as they both have the same processor? But,,,I have heard some say that it does not work on the xoom? Just make sure you do a refund on the market within 15 mins if it doesnt and you should be fine.

The VS GTab uses an older generation T2 than the XOOM (I think) so they're not identical. Runs on my Vibrant. Haven't tried on my XOOM.
meaning they are both nvidea tegra two cpu's.

I just got this on my Nexus S, it works great on my Nexus S, I doubt it would work good on the Xoom, I tried LauncherPro on my Xoom and it worked but the functionality seemed extremely dampered. Just wait a month or two before we see devs make launchers for Honeycomb.
Sent from my Xoom
personally I really like the stock launcher, but theres the really screeching app drawer and limited screen number...
I have SPB shell on my DX, I sideloaded and it will not run on my Xoom.
I bought SPB and it works great on my Galaxy S, but on the Xoom it only runs in portrait mode and it's very pixely/grainy. I'm hoping their Honeycomb launcher comes out soon!
Gah I can't post a link to it as this is my first post! Google SPB Honeycomb.
Yes it does run but like he said the background is very pixelated but the foreground is perfect

I got it running on Xoom but also just had black screen.

I currently have it on my XOOM and it's working perfectly!! There's an experimental tablet mode that allows it to work in landscape just fine and I believe yesterday the app was updated!! It definitely looks nice on the xoom but the other version in the video above looks bad ass!!! I was also wondering to anyone who has purchased the application on the phone would I have any problems using it on my tablet as well being that it'll be purchased on my phone?? I tried it from an apk I found first because I didn't want to spend the money at first if it wasn't going to work. But seeing that it does now I don't mind spending the money! Please someone let me know! Basically how do I get it from my phone onto my xoom and still have it work?

Netflix on the market? for stock 2.2 no less

So I downloaded netflix from the market, and it says in the list of supported devices that the HTC Thunderbolt is one. Now it does install and accepts your username password, you can see your qeue and it attemps to play the vid, but fails with a DRM required message. any one else seeing this? if you search for it it will not appear, but if you select apps, all apps, free apps then scroll down its listed. click install and try to enjoy a mostly usable app.

it will never work on stock or rooted froyo for the thunderbolt (at least not without netflix directly supporting it). person that said it did on that forum is full of it. amount of effort to make it work would not be worth it. GB will be out soon and nearly everyone has it already on here. Anyone who wont root to get netflix obviously doesnt want it bad enough

Ok ok, im not a dev, but.... Look at the LG Revolution. It is running 2.2.1 and netflix runs perfectly out of the box. in my ignorance, I dont know why it would be any more dificult to modify it to work with other froyo devices. Im sure one of the software type bullys will pick me appart here.. By the way... XDA isn't a friendly place any more. boo to flamers... (will probably get flamed for that) HA

Netflix does NOT need GB to function, it appears as if it needs it for the TBolt but not overall. That being said they made Droid Bionic support available so take everything with a grain of salt. Maybe GB will be coming soon and rather than fix issues with the TBolt again soon they figured set it up for GB and users can use it then (and root users now ).

I just installed Netflix on my stock TB & it works very well. It was a little glitchy for the first 3-4 seconds, maybe 5, but after that, clear as a bell. No complaints here. About damn time...
Netflix app was just updated again!!! Everyone that had issues before try it out!
Yep update seems to fixed the play back issue.... WOOT!
Yep, confirmed working here too. Stock Froyo unrooted, latest update.
Confirmed. Just updated. Netflix now streaming on stock Thunderbolt. Thank God!!!

I never said all of froyo...I said thunderbolt + froyo. However, I am glad to see that it looks like netflix finally fixed it for the thunderbolt on froyo (the only way I said it would ever work for it).

Uninstall, download from market & reinstall.
I never understood the appeal of watching netflix on a cell phone. I tried it a couple of times & never finished the movie. Tablets & netbooks are much better suited for that job, imho

[UPDATED] [APP] Netflix 360, Honeycomb optimized (from HC enabled market app)

I'm getting tired of the slow scrolling and choppy behavior of apps that shouldn't be. Here is the Netflix app, latest, I think, that I modified to be optimized for Honeycomb. Basically just improves overall app performance.
Enjoy. (attached)
* (You will probably have to uninstall your current Netflix app to try this)
* Updated to Netflix version (360) from the market, released for Honeycomb officially on 10/19/11.
cant install...but I can download it...
You might have to uninstall the old version first.
Works great! (Yes, I did need to uninstall the previous version.)
Thanks!
app works, is very smooth on my Xoom. Thanks

Can someone confirm
I tend to trust the members of XDA quite a lot, however, I'm not going to blindly install this apk. Can anyone confirm that it works?
I'm scared to login as well. The login bars arent misaligned like the account stealing Netflix APk reported to be floating around but I'm still nervous. Has anyone tried this? I'm sorry I'm questioning your work, it probably is fine and a great job done, you just can't be too cautious these days.

You know what's legit? The actual market provided app. It's easy enough to get the APK from a backup on a device that supports it.

If you look through all of mrschmitz's posts on xda you will see he also optimized a nasa app for honeycomb and has contributed some dev work on multiple other things.
Always good to be paranoid with this sort of thing, but I would say it is probably safe.
I am surprised he hasn't chimed in and defended himself yet though.
Confirmed working. i just uninstalled, didn't bother trying without uninstall. Thanks!
Installed it. Video quality seemed to be better. Cam on here to read the comments and got paranoid at removed the app. Waiting for confirmation that this is ok, although i already logged on with the new app so if it was fake it would be too late right?
Doesn't work in Canada just like every other apk out there. Prompts me to update and says visit there bull**** website. A tablet and no Netflix...

HC lag?

I just got my Dell streak and its the wifi only. Ever since I did the update my DS7 lags after ten minutes. I have to reboot it just to get back to normal. Its not rooted but I have tried but know joy. Any advice?

May I offer as a suggestion to try the script mentioned in this rather long XDA thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991276
The script changes the settings used by the underlying Android memory manager. I found it quite useful under 2.2 and just as helpful under honeycomb. I most like that it makes the launcher "hard to kill" which is great. I hardly ever leave an app and go back to the launcher to just sit and watch as it reloads. You have no idea how much better that makes it feel when I'm using my streak.
Thanks to whomever suggested trying this script in a previous thread here.

And will drastically change the behavior of your device.. And this has nothing to do with his problem, he's talking about some weird lag that happens after he boots, not a problem this script would "help".
I tried this script on my Nexus One, as I tend to do a lot of stuff at once, and it did nothing but annoy me. I never have launcher kill problems, so perhaps it's just not for me.. but I found that apps I could normally run simultaneously would be killed when I went back to them.
Example, running Car Home, Waze, and Gas Buddy on my trek to work. On top of the normal stuff running.. Normally Gas Buddy will be left in the background and I can bring it right back up, but after several different settings in this script it was always killed. Not to say this isn't a good thing for some people but it works better for me without it.

You don't have to root, it comes prerooted...
All you have to do is flash the Clockwork Mod recovery for Honeycomb which is 4.0.1.9 if I remember correctly (it has it's own thread) and then download the R6 HoneyStreak (R7 is buggy on mine that is why I suggest R6) and you flash it from Clockwork mod...
And the script is junk, it has been stated in several threads that the most it does is help the Launcher to an extent, the memory from the custom ROMs on the Streak 7 and Streak 5 conflicts completely with the script, all you get is a placebo affect once installed
Thanks for all the support. Now I just need a bad ass custom ROM to go on too of it.

Samsung recently released a version of Tapatalk HD for the Galaxy Tabs.
Catch is it is not available in the US or for wifi only devices. If you have a 3G 8.9 and not in the US. Check it out

Or just go here to download directly.
great .... I'm going to try ......
not a lot of HD/tablet optimisation to speak of.
looks like the original app most of the time.
they could have done a far better job of it imho.
are there any forum app alternatives for tablets that actually make use of the screen space?

3) XDA Free is.
