I hope this can help the developers get 2.2 to our vibrant

I think this goes with out saying, do not flash this...
It is for developers to pick through.

Is it? I did not see it posted anywhere..
If the Dev's are aware of this and already have there hands on it feel free to close this thread.

I don't think it's old news. I'm pretty sure they found the firmware today.

yall might be thinking about the eu rom that came out but this should be different since its for the tablet...

I don't recall Sammy ever releasing anything to do with Froyo before this.. not sure how it's old news but also not sure how it can help the SGS owners since its for their tablet/pad

hey good find... don't bother with the negativity!!! lets keep it positive!!! good job maybe someone can use it.. you never know...

Maybe Someone could do it, but i see problems due to Resolution differences between the Samsung Tab and the Vibrant.

They do not.
SGS is 480x800
Tablet is 600x1024
Some in the Captivate forums were noticing all the files associated with the tablet had that set as the resolution.
Think I might do some work to see what I can do for it... I'm on a Captivate, so I'm not sure how it'd help out the Vibrant, but I'll see what I can do.

Indeed they do. I was right buddy:
http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2010...tab-european-firmware-reveals-device-details/

what they are posting on different tech sites is probably incorrect like he said the firmware is associated with a higher resolution

Why don't some brave soul just flash the firmware already? Lol. I'd do it but I'm already at my return limit for returns at Tmobile.

why would anybody here flash the galaxy tab or tape or whatever they call it for there phone. it's a tablet not a phone. the processor's different or not, and the resolution is different or not. 2 many maybes to flash on the vibrant

If it works please let us know. I really want froyo so bad!

I flashed it onto my captivate, and it doesn't get past the boot screen, which looks like a broken tv(black and grey lines moving across the screen with a somewhat legible gt-p1000 logo). Flashed back to stock with no problems though.

All reports so far show that its basically the phone.. same processor, innards, screen, ect, exept for the resolution. What would be super deee duper if someone could figure out a way to be able to flip resolutions back n forth on the fly like we do on our computers... why? i dunno... just to piss off another iphone user i guess.. lol.

Anybody willing to experiment?

Since we have a Froyo kernel for the Captivate, anybody want to try to load a galaxy Tab ROM with our Captivate kernel? I would if I had a PC and ODIN wasn't a pain in the ass for me to use.

Thats not going to work, of the bat, most of the system is for a much high res, but anyone is welcome to try...

for some reason I thought the tab and our phones were the same resolution. thanks for the info.

They may be the same overall resolution, but trying using the tab email app and everything is very tiny. I would not want the entire device like that.

Tab is 1024x600. Even if the Tab rom booted, most of the apps wouldn't display right.

What about changing the pixel density?

I know i tried and im sure zilch did too. So far no go. Even with working on the res.

Adobe Photoshop Touch

Hi, was curious if any developers here are able to get Photoshop Touch working on the Note?
The Note is also advertised as a tablet as well and this would be so much better than the crappy Express version.
I have a feeling we need to wait for ICS for this to work but I am hoping I am wrong.
Thanks

Some people say it works with ICS on the Galaxy Nexus so it's definitly necessary ICS. Anyone have tried on the Note with CM ICS?

Photoshop Touch is a "Honeycomb" application, and as such requires Android 3+ to work. There's pretty much zero chance of getting it to work on Gingerbread as it simply doesn't have the frameworks to support the Honeycomb APIs.
ICS *should* remedy this.

If and when it works, it would be so amazing on the Note.

I dunno mate, I thought the same, but something wrong here!
Check this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7H7uk6QvbM
Shows photoshop touch runs on N7000, noticing the notification bar, I believe that guy is using stock ROM (GB 2.3), made me confused.
Tried to find a working apk, but all gave me parse error.
Dunno, video is real but, all other sources says it's not possible

There actually "is" an APK that allows it to be installed and works on Gingerbread and the Note specifically, if you've already bought it for use on a tab, then morally I don't see why you shouldn't use it (as you can buy once, install to many with apps you buy anyway) but legally I'm not so sure.
Swyped from my finger, to your face on my Samsung Galaxy Note, using Tapatalk!

Photoshop touch does indeed run on ICS. I've used it, and it runs well
I have also used the modified version for gingerbread RavenY2K3 is talking about. The creator of that version has modified resolution in the apk so as to make it run on low-res GB phones. Using it amounts to piracy, so I'd advise you to cease discussion about the GB version ;-)
The thing is, Photoshop touch, when it runs on a full-size tablet, is much more natural, fluid and intuitive. Coming to our smaller display, the Note is still a better option than most 'phones', but is still a little restricted. Basically the menus and buttons appear tiny, and they have to be. The good thing is, it's very smooth with the S-Pen.

the video is real, I went to the site and downloaded the modded apk. it works flawlessly.on my.GNote N7000. keep in mind it was made for tablet so everything is smaller....(icons/tools) BUT using the app with Spen is NO problem. works amazing with Spen. =] BTW if u get "parse error" its very normal I had to download apk from their mediafire link 3 times before succeeding. sometimes it doesn't download apk. file properly so just keep trying.

[Q] Setting per app DPI - How?

TP with CM9 Nightlies
Does anyone know how to set the DPI for a specific application? I want to run the system UI at 160 and a single app at 120 DPI. I've seen this done on other devices/roms, but not on CM9 -w- TouchPad.
Thanks in advance

Those are tablet ui type ROMs for specific devices like my Galaxy S2 that has a tablet ui option... seriously before asking something such as this pretty much proves you didn't bother to read even the opening posts of ANY of the ROMs here in the forum which needless to say is pretty lame

Good morning to you too. While I always appreciate help and guidance where I can get it, I do not appreciate condescension. I have read the opening posts on many of the ROMs. I did not see where it says "All your DPI questions go here". Also, I've posted on the ROM threads and PM'd a ROM dev but not received any answer yet.
My mom is going into surgery and then a lengthy hospital stay. I gave her a tablet so she can a bit more comfortable and entertained while stuck in bed for weeks. I am trying to figure out how to fix this one app's display before she goes in.
I ask you a favor, what is my best shot at getting a specific answer? Your expertise would be much appreciated.

It's that blasted "Words with Friends". She's hooked.
You can't see the chat portion of the app at 160 DPI, you can see it at 120 DPI but then the rest of the TP's UI is too small for her. So I'm looking to get just WWF at 120 while leaving the rest of the Tab's DPI at 160.
Is this something that has to be cooked into the ROM?
Any ideas?

Of course, its an app I dont use. lol. I've never heard of changing the DPI for each app. But maybe you can change it to a DPI somewhere in the middle. I use 140 and it looks great. I've heard changing the DPI can break the play store, but I have never had a problem with it.
Also, I've seen some apps that dont fit on the screen like you describe. Does it do that in both landscape and portrait mode? The ones I have seen only do that in one orientation.

I have tried 132 and 140 only 120 shows all the UI. And it's hard-wired to go landscape on the tablet. I tried to get it to go Portrait with no joy.
Dagr8 over on the SG Note threads has made a "Per App DPI" ROM which is very cool. I want to do the samehting on the TP but I did not know if it was a ROM thing or just knowing where to set the DPI thing; example in "build.prop" file.

Simple answer... the function is not available for the TouchPad and only available for a select FEW devices (phones) as there really isn't a need for the function considering the size of most tablets... you can stop looking or stressing waiting for an answer as that's pretty much it..... its a great feature on my SGS but convincing a dev to do the work for a tablet is quite a task

There is no "how to" for the functionality yet (a todo i think), but there is for the implementation.

That looks like its specific to that ROM. It modifies the build.prop file as well as adds a hyb.prop file which controls the different app DPIs. I'm not a dev so I wouldnt know how to add that to the TouchPad. But it looks like it might be possible. That would be awesome to have that modified for the TouchPad though. Especially since our DPIs are all over the place. But as it stand now, I dont think we have that option.

Most 12 year olds have to clean their room before they can go out to play. This can make some of them angry and bitter. Just remember they are mad at their mom, not you.
As an adult and experienced tecnophile, I am humored by their social ignorance. I take solace that the real world will kick them in the "you-know-what" someday.

Just as the title implies. So far this seems to be a great phone. Picked up the 128GB White. Pre-ordered.

For some reason Kies doesn't like my phone, or maybe I've hit some soft limit trying to backup 35K SMS/MMS. I have an S4, skipped the S5

you don't have to change the screen DPI to do this. if you mean you want 5 apps across the bottom instead of 4, simply drag a new shortcut into the bar and it will resize itself to hold 5 icons. if you're talking about the grid itself, and changing from 4x4 to 4x5 or 5x5, you can do that by holding your finger on one of the small squares (that tells you which tab you're on). it will bring up a custom menu that allows you to change the screen grid settings.
as for wanting root, i'm looking for a wi-fi tethering option. this was built into the custom ROM i had on my S3, and i'm hoping someone can do the same on the S6!

You will have to excuse my ignorance i'm not a big android user, just got my new s6 edge att and i have only rooted my tablet in the past to remove bloat. Can you tell me why the att model phones take so long to root?
cheers

Who knows. It only started with the S5. Before then we had zero day roots. It really stinks, because if any phone could use it the edge could. It's highly under utilized, the lack of apps you can add in ultra power saving mode is silly. FB, but no email? The bloat, etc.

I don't have much background on this, but how is it that the Tmobile and Sprint version are already rooted so quickly? I'll have to refresh my memory on the whole root process and roms but why is it that these att phones are also not rooted at quickly?
