Thank you very much for your divine support and suggestion but am not planning to sell it.
I am asking on how to maximize my tab not to gain profit from it. Softwares and application to use since I am already rooted and using overcome rom.
Play with your tab.
Install games and apps.
Lots of stuff to do with your tab.
You can use it for:
i. Playing games
Try Fruit Ninja, it's the only games I have on my tab right now
ii. Entertainment
Try PowerAmp + MusicMatch, you can ideally have the tab play music with lyris displayed.
I don't use it for playing mkv files coz the screen is small, maybe after I get my TV-OUT adapter. Use youtube couple times with it though
iii. Information
Try Pulse News Reader + Boat Browser (It's what I use for the time being)
iv. Social
Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo Messenger, Tapatalk for forum, etc..
v. Office Work
Gmail, Ymail, I use connectbot + hacker's keyboard for server maintenance
vi. Etc2..
Lot's of interesting app in the market. Check the market. Have u try ZenBrush ??
Regards,
Jhon
PS: Hope it leads to u to the right direction
yeah, sorry. Just joking.
I agree with wuf31.
Played Fruit Ninja and Angry Birds.
Use Pulse News for RSS based news, and also BeyondPod to get my favourite podcast.
I also use BS Player to play my video over SMB share. You will find it working very well, no stuttering whatsoever. My video files sit in my linux file share running samba.
Use PocketCould to RDP or VNC to your desktops.
Overcome kernel even support OpenVPN, if you need VPN.

Thank you for the recommendation. Will check BS Player and BeyondPod.
Btw, quick question, do I need to install anything on the Windows side to use RDP or VNC?
PocketCould is just a normal RDP/VNC client.
As long as you can RDP using desktop to your windows, you should be able to use PocketCould.
Same as VNC.
The free version can only have 1 connection profile.
The free one also can't have zoom in and out by pinch.
bear in mind that PocketClould claims they don't support linux as host OS, so your milage may vary. I bought my Pro version and found that out (that it doesn't support x11vnc properly). Strangely few weeks back it started to work properly now. Vaguely remember there was an update from market. Maybe they fix it.
Give the free one a go. I was using it for months before I bought the pro one.
BTW, it also offer to let you use google account to ease connecting to hosts, but I didn't bother to try out.
I just key in IP, username/password as usual.

Evernote - very good note taking app
Dropbox - sync files betwwen your devices
2x Client RDP to access your Windows 7 pc (if U have) from Tab
AirDroid - manage your Tab over WiFi
Simple Calendar Widget - to get your meetings on front page.
Lockscreen Agenda - display your meetings on lock screen
IP Webcam - use tab as IP camera with audio also.

You can always update to CM9 & try the ICS experience, but it's still in development so not all features are available. Just a bit of fun for you to try if you're up for it. I had a bit of fun experimenting, but I'm not liking the fact that the theme engine isn't fully developed yet, so I think I'll be restoring back to the BOCA client.

Just to share my experience since I started rooting it a month ago
from GB 2.3.3, I flashed to Overcome, then MIUI..didnt like it (lots of issues), back to Overcome, then AOKP ICS rom, now a moment ago just back Overcome
I'll wait for a better looks and fix on AOKP then I will be back to it again. Overcome is stable and since I want to have some themes and tweak on the looks a bit, I installed Go Launcher EX, go locker etc....surf for some wallpapers to have some nice views
For now better just go for themes etc with the current rom or you may limit the installation of apps u wanna use for a long time....try out several roms to see which one u like...
PS-I wonder what's the future for our galaxy tab....esp in terms of a fully working rom..
Thanks for sharing. Im still using overcome since most of the people i asked said its one of the stable custom roms. For the adventurous a like ics for our tab is already out but am still reading on it and dont have the courage to flash my tab again hehehe

Overcome is the most stable ROM for the Tab. BOCA is pretty stable too. I haven't had any issues with MIUI, but I don't like having pages of apps with no app drawer. I do like my widgets & folders, so I will be flashing again sometime this weekend or next week...just not sure what ROM I'm going to use at this point.
With all the flashing & re-flashing I've done on my phone, I've gained some confidence in the whole process and I'm looking forward to applying onto my tab some of the new things I've learned. Modding is quite addicting...lol...I feel the same way I did when I first learned about overclocking & modding computers. Now I'm searching and reading through dev guides and tutorials to learn about ROM & app dev for androids. Mostly going to be learning for the devices I have now, like my Galaxy tab & MT4G. =)
BTW, out of curiosity, which size tab do you have? 7" or 10.1"
I got the 7" when the Galaxy tab first came on the market & T-Mobile had it for $599. Of course, I got some good deals signing up for a 2-year contract, but still paid a pretty penny for 2 phones & the tab. It would've been nice if I didn't lose my Vibrant (free phone, not eligible for insurance =\ ), then I could've had something else to experiment on...lol
Anyway, I'll post back once I get the chance to experiment on the tab more.
Using galaxy tab 7 first generation the model is p1000 though am now itching to try the newer model p6200 but performance wise i think it not really wise to upgrade yet but if ever you want to try it better to go for samsung note

Try using V6 Supercharge and install Beats Audio
If fun means more technical enhancements try these.
V6 Supercharger from Zeppelinrox. Its a script not a zip. Lots of info on the main site but just
1) down load the pdf script all the way at the botton of the page.
2) install busybox open busybox and install the latest version of busybox
3) install ScriptManager
4) run the DPF as root and read all the info in the console as the script runs

After being able to install google apps (minus chrome and the newest google+ app?), I am quite happy with the Fire HD.
I have been able to find apk's to sideload most of the apps that are free that I want and then they update via the playstore like normal so far. Only exception being Google+ app is still running the older style before the major revamp.
I have purchased 2 of the Adobe Touch apps, Photoshop Touch and Proto and would love to be able to use them on my Fire. I don't want to steal an apk from a third party site since I have legitimately purchased them. Is there a way to pull an apk from a different tablet I have of those apps? Or if I obtained one from a third party site, would they update like the others have properly?
As a side note, when running Go Launcher, I am unable to run the Kindle app. I haven't had time to search the forums here, but I do know there have been posts related to that issue, so ignore this comment really until I can find out if it has been answered.
Lastly, the magazine subscriptions I have done through the Kindle Launcher, how are those accessed using GoLauncher? Or can they not be?
Thanks!
If your other devices are rooted, you can pull the apk from them, under data/app; normally shown as com.name.name.apk but there are icons also to help you identify.
I used the kindle app in the market and got all my books to start working. Not sure about magazines though, but you can sync it.
Ran across this just now when browsing some stuff!

I'm not sure if this means the play Store version will be updated to install on the Fire Hd's or not, but I hope it does. I don't want to purchase a second copy, but may if it's optimized for the 7" version.
Seems to only be Photoshop Touch at this point, but I'm hopeful for Proto and others as well. Haven't been able to do much more than read about it from work at this point but thought it worth mentioning.

One last update for this. The other day Adobe did indeed update their Play Store version of Photoshop Touch to work with 7" tablets. This did work with the other problems for me on my Fire HD. Was able to just go to the store and click install.
So for those wanting this on 7" tablets, it now works! I hope they do this with the other touch apps soon as well.

I recently was gifted a Kindle fire hd 7". I have a little experience in rooting and flashing OS's from an HTC tilt from maybe 5 or 6 years ago. I'm wondering what I can't do with my device in it's previous states, as in, what am I missing out on? So for Stock, Rooted, and I'm not familiar with what the choices are from their but I assume a small(or large?) variety of both homebrew and corporate OS's(like running windows on it) that people have tailored for this device. There is a wealth of knowledge on this site for how to do these things but I want to be more familiar with what I can do with all of the different states. Also, what are the limitations of Amazon's(or is it amazon's?) OS? It seems that even though it was open source this is a protected OS lacking a lot of customization not much different from an Apple OS.
Thanks in advance.
Locked kfhd is like a bigwheel. Rooted kfhd is like a Harley. I got mine as a gift too and when I first turned it on, I was disgusted by the ugly presentation of the launcher. Then I didn't like how much crap was funneling through Amazon for a price. I knew within 5 minutes of owning it that I would be looking to root it. Now, I have go launcher on here and it works great. Waiting for cm10.

Literally rooted mine right out of the box. Never knew what true "stock" felt like, but I don't think I missed much.
Poor launcher, but most importantly google play store...
If you dont mind acquiring the apks and side loading them all and the carousel wheel, really all you lose out on is root ability thus far ive only needed that for google apps, launchers and the moga app...root gives you the ability to disable updates and ads...

So, a friend of mine is upgrading to a new phone and said that she was literally going to run over her DROID 3 with her car because she hated it so much. I convinced her to instead let me give her $10 for it so I could play around with it.
I'm not really new to Android, I have an ATRIX HD and a Nexus 7 both on Jelly Bean. But I've never used any of the android versions before ICS, so I'm a noob in that regard.
Anyway, I'm looking for some cool stuff I could do with it. I won't be using it as a phone, more of as a toy. I've heard somewhere that you can convert old smartphones into security cameras and stuff like that. Doing that would be great because it would let me keep an eye on my dog while I'm at work.
I plan on doing a factory reset as soon as she gives it to me, but I'm open to ideas about what to do after that. I figured I would flash CM or maybe a different ROM.
Please, give me some ideas on what I could do with it! Thanks guys.
Use it of course!! the keyboard is awesome.
- make sure you're on .906 firmware (latest)
- root http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1497690
- Install safestrap 3.05 http://goo.im/devs/Hashcode/solana
- Flash GB rom like minimoto or mavrom for usage
- Flash any JB rom to try out on 2nd slot
:good:
Use it as a door stop.

Its not a bad phone for free. Basically the stock Motoblur GB ROM is terrible due and it doesn't have much free RAM. If you plan on using the camera flash a stock 2.3.4 based ROM, I'd recommend Minimoto, although stock rooted would probably work fine. It has a good camera 8MP/1080p so it should work great as a remote webcam device.
I'm thinking of using mine like those Android HDMI sticks when I retire it so I can stream Netflix, Youtube, etc from it on my TV.
It makes a good PMP if you ask me. Also the keyboard is good for tweeting and such, (but most of those things call for 3g) but its still a neat little device, could use it as a media player as well.
The Droid 3 is by far the BEST QWERTY out there! it deserves better treatment! I recently bought a brand new one (manufactured in August 2012) and they even changed the hardware a bit! The gap between display and keyboard in the bottom left corner is gone, and the pulling area of the battery door moved from the middle to the edge for better getting off the battery door. Also they used an other display obviously because there are no more vertical stripes visible when the display is turned off.

I didn't think about using it to hook to the TV. That's a good idea. Do you know if there are any guides on how to set it up as a remote webcam?
hey guys
i was experimenting with xbmc a bit, tried several versions (no-neon and full-neon's) but all versions are using only one core. and this makes even the music playback completely laggy, not to say unhearable...
so my question: has anyone of you found a version or a trick to make it work the way it's meant to work?
what i also experienced, sometimes all four cores are active, but then their clock speed drops to 475 MHz and it's still completely laggy...
thanks in advance
PS: i do know that there is another thread about xbmc from january, but due to all the trouble i had about reopening an old thread, i opened a new one here
Never heard of it before reading your thread and I have it a shot straight away. Downloaded the source file from xbmc.org/download and installed it. I was expecting some lags, but it played any file I threw at it flawlessly both video and audio. It was on the phone storage though, still learning how to stream it from my home network.
Anyway, is it the same xbmc we're talking about? Is the player or only the remote?
Attached are some screen shot of it

yeah, i mean the "real" app (--> player). but i see you're on the JB leak, i was talking about the (official) ICS. so all i can see until now, LG did quite a good job, regarding performance (also looking at html5). so i guess the waiting is worth it

Yep, I'm on JB. However, in xbmc website FAQ, it says O4X running on ICS is compatible with the app, though they also mention that this app isn't official yet, so they tell us to expect some lags and bugs.
Btw, I tried installing the app in my Android HD set top box running on GB 2.3.4, with 1 Ghz ARM 7 processor and 512 MB RAM. Damn, the apps ran as slow as my grandma. The device is really cheap though ($59 or something, China made) I finally end up using the good old MX Player.

i also use the MX Player usually, but i tried it on my droid because of the beautiful UI. well, so it's PC-only for now
