I actually like it (well, not the Tapatalk thing, but the "posted from mobile device" thing) when it's me doing the posting, as it gives me an excuse if I make some stupid typo.

I believe they think that a new update is coming and they want to work on it rather than help a bunch of newbs flash to an old version. Maybe make us all wait until the new ROM is ready. To heck with that. I think I am going with TNT Lite

I watched a couple bluray rips on my Archos 101 and I honestly don't think the picture can get that much better, even if the resolution isn't HD. You have some much pixel crush on small screen sizes that it really doesn't matter.

Although I will say several years ago when the resolution was nowhere near as high as now on those size screens, you would see shitloads of pixelation.

If Froyo is the same as my Droid1, you select Menu, then more. Select Text then drag your finger over what you want to copy. Then long press to where you want to paste.

Yeah. It will work, but the problem I guess is with the new update that is expected that will mess up the bootloader if you used CWM. May have to nvflash back to stock to upgrade when the new update comes out. I just saw a post on xda that it is supposed to be in 5 days. Who knows for sure.

So any early impressions you want to share?

mikeyis4dcats. 03-29-2011 06:25 PM

that's why some of the Devs are suggesting us noobs wait to Root, because the new update is coming very soon, and it will just cause us extra grief to do it now and again in a few weeks.

meh, won't be a big deal to go back to stock if the new system is worth the upgrade.

I don't like the lack of copy and paste at all. Also, there is no dedicated video folder even though they have a photos and music folder on the main screen. I have to go to root just to get to it.

I have to use Opera Mini if I want to copy and paste. I hate that browser.

mikeyis4dcats. 03-29-2011 06:54 PM

cut and paste is simple


double tap lets you highlight, then long press once you have it highlighted and choose copy. then long press to paste

Its odd. Every search I have done states that the stock browser for gtab does not do copy and paste. Which is exactly what I am experiencing.

Opera mini will do it but I just don't like that browser. It's not a huge deal as I don't need copy and paste that often. I'll probably still spend more time on my laptop than on the tablet just for the mere fact I can type a hell of a lot faster than I can hen peck.

I would like to try the swyping options but can't find any keyboards to download that do it.

Sorry. No, once CWM is on it it is always on it. Just delete the full 5.1 rom from your ROMS directory and then place the 5.1.1 rom in there. Then all you have to do is follow the steps from the point where you install the rom again.

VEGan kicks ass compared to TNT. Loving Swype too. Sounds as if we should turn off swype when you enter a password though

Sorry. No, once CWM is on it it is always on it. Just delete the full 5.1 rom from your ROMS directory and then place the 5.1.1 rom in there. Then all you have to do is follow the steps from the point where you install the rom again.

I know this is annoying, I just don't get it. I have 5.1 working flawlessly and would hate to **** it up now.

What step do I start at using this thread:

on a different note...

I was disappointed you can't turn this thing vertically/horizontally like a phone and have the screen change either way...

not sure if even an iPad can do that...so maybe my expectations were too high

it will, unless you have the feature turned off in the settings. not ALL apps work in either though.

Part 2 Step 3.

If you are happy with it the way it is then don't worry about the supplement.
