[Q] questions about transformer

Hi, I was about to purchase an eeepad transformer for myself when one of my friends told me he already ordered me one as an early birthday present . I was overjoyed when he said it is shipping from TigerDirect right now to his house (so he can wrap it and give it to me as an official present). Anyway, back to the real subject; I was wondering a few things (this is my first native android device although I do run it on my touchscreen desktop at times).
1. Does the transformer (or honeycomb in general) come with that really cool visualizer live wallpaper which acts as a visualizer for your music playing. I remember that on android 2.2 and I thought it was really interesting.
2. I bought (and took advantage of the free app of the day) apps on Amazon app store and I was wondering if I could run those apps on:
a) honecomb
and/or
b) another android device
3. I was also wondering whether android has the ability to install a screensaver app (yes, I know that LCD screens never really burn an image into them however, I would rather see a neat little animation on the screen then nothing)
4. Last, but not least, does any android browser support Java.
-the last two points aren't that important however; if u have an answer to any of these questions, please tell me so I can know what to expect when it arrives.
Thanks very much for reading all of this

1) pretty much all the default android LWPs are gone. only one it ships with it the Asus Mywater one.
2) most apps work on honeycomb, some will be very small and not fill up the whole screen. I've downloaded about 10 apps from amazon and they've all worked. and yes once bought from the amazon store they'll work on any device you own as long as your signed into your amazon account through the app. I have apps on my TF, Nexus One, and my dads Vibrant.
3) i've actually wanted this to lol. Sadly theres nothing like this yet aside from the gallery slide show, but it's still not a screensaver.
4) there are a bunch of java settings so i'm pretty sure it has java support.

no problem. There are tons of live wallpapers that work in honeycomb, but as with regular phones. they mostly lag the hell out of the stock launcher.
i'm hoping that maybe when we have 12 core processors LWP's won't lag anymore lol

[Q] Im getting the nexus 10 for christmas

Im getting the nexus 10 for Christmas and at my high school we can use computers,tablets etc. But are there any good office apps like word or one note type things. Or is there any news of Microsoft apps. Thank you and i pray the light-bleed inst that bad. And is there any news of good keyboard docks?

First, stop listening to people *****ing about light bleed, it's not that big of an issue in the grand scheme of things.
As for office programs, there are half a dozen half decent ones you can buy, one of the guys in the XOOM forum did a pretty in depth review of most of them (I believe it was funnycreature) do a search and have a read of that, then make your choice.
From my experience, you might need to buy more than one to get everything done, this of course can get a little costly with the suits costing £10 or so each.

thank you very much and when fwll the keyboard Dock come out because I do not want to use a Bluetooth keyboard

Light bleed is a non-issue for me....

I don't think that there will be a keyboard dock like you know it from the Asus transformer line. You'll have to use a Bluetooth keyboard. Go to the accessories section. There are some threads about cases. There are also some cases with integrated Bluetooth keyboards.

I've been on this forum allot lately because i want this tablet to be the best experience it can possibly be on the school side, media consumption and just regular gaming + internet use. BUT I've been hearing many complain about having to reboot and many other issues. Will this tablet be a good choice overall or should i just get a ipad due to the best app store ever.
If i do proceed in getting this tablet what should i do first? And should i update to the new os or keep the stock rom? Will cynogen mod be the best bet even though many are having difficulties. I would love to hear everyone's:confused feedback.

QO does not have a trial version anymore - we discontinued it at version 4.1. Our viewer will be preloaded on the stock 4.2 Android OS, so you'll be able to see it in action a little.
If you have specific file types that you need tested, go to help.quickoffice.com, and send us an example file or two and we'll test it and list any issues we come across before you choose to purchase.

I'm using CM 10 on the HTC One S and Samsung Galaxy 3 and stock Android on the Nexus 7 & 4. I don't really see a huge difference except for the fact that CM10 has a lot more customization.
If it boiled down to choosing one for a Nexus device, I'd choose stock Android because I dont use most of the customization (unless it's UI stuff, which I can use a launcher for) and I'm not allowed to access my corporate account from the CM 10 device. If I wasn't using a Nexus device, I'd stick with CM 10 to get rid of bloatware.
I'm not sure if that really helps all that much, but that's where things stand for me.

Waiting for my Zenfone 2 to arrive

Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum, currently waiting for delivery (arrives on sunday).
Is there anything I should know? Besides rooting, removing bloatware (which seems to plague this phone like Asus pcs), and general android stuff.
Anything about pumping up the audio? Also, any comments on how's Asus doing as a phone manufacturer, I'm using a motherboard and monitor from their products.
Hope we get along :fingers-crossed:

I'd also love to know this! i'm getting a ZF2 in a week or two

I haven't re-rooted after the last couple of updates as I no longer use anything that requires root. I haven't bothered removing anything but just turned what I didn't want off instead. I went with a different launcher (Nova Pro) and different SMS and email clients that those Asus put on the phone.
Still one of the best phones I have ever used.

I'm curious to use it as is for a couple of days and then update it, so I hope it isn't updated.
But it's good to hear Asus tackled those problems!

I love mine. Best phone I've owned hands down.

Asus has done a great job and made its name in budget market, the phone looks good and doesn't even feel like a budget one
Performance is excellent and its not a slouch like lg or samsung devices the only phones beat this device is nexus and flagships costing double or even triple than itself .
Camera is not to be expected with exceptional quality it will deliver moderate to good enough pictures but in outdoor and poor in low light.
Asus has heavily bloated it (30 apps) but every app is inovative and to meet different tastes of different people i dont use their apps like mirror, screen mirroring / screen cast on desktop. But many people do use it, disable only after you feel it is useless and a bloat.
Try out splendid to customize the display and saturation(this is one hell of a feature and my favourite one also)
Its the best phone i have ever owned or used(never got the chance to try hands on nexus 6p)and i hate samsung so don't hope me to try hands on it even

New Kindle Fire HD 10 5th Gen and its possibilities

Hello Guys,
I am new here and I just got an old Kindle Fire HD 10 Gift from a friend who said he doesn’t need it anymore.
So I had set it up, put my account to it and found….. It is sooo bloated with all that amazon stuff… It’s ridiculous…. I would say that I do not need like 80% of that stuff and totally miss like google mail, proper YouTube app and a lot more I have not found until now.
So I was looking now for like 3 days, whenever I had the time to search for it, if there is a custom Rom for the Kindle, or maybe root to get Google on the Kindle or how it is to be done to get apps maybe from my phone to the kindle.
Amazon made it really hard for users who are not sucked into the amazon universe to actually enjoy the Kindle, don’t they?
I have a bunch of paid apps in Google, they seem to be all useless now… what really kind of bugs me, because I had hoped to use the kindle as a comic book reader, where I use Comicat on android… no idea if kindle can even open them, but I’ll have to try.
So I would like to ask, are there some ways to root an Kindle Fire HD 10 with Fire OS 5.6.1.0 ? If so, how to do that and are there Custom Roms that would give a more basic Android feel?
I only found mostly some tutorials for 7” and 8”, but rarely for the 10” Tablet and nearly always for other Fire OSes.
So every help would be REALLY appreciated!

Follow this tutorial to get root https://forum.xda-developers.com/hd8-hd10/general/tut-fire-hd-10-7th-gen-2017-root-box-t3726443
To make it more stock like after you have rooted you can remove apps using root
You can also install google play store + apps from it by following this https://forum.xda-developers.com/amazon-fire/general/how-to-install-google-play-store-fire-t3486603
You can also replace the default launcher with another like Nova but at the moment it uses a hack to get around a limitation even on root (Launcher Hijack)
You can also install xposed and there is modules on that which should give back some of your missing features https://forum.xda-developers.com/hd8-hd10/general/hd-10-2017-xposed-t3722252
At the moment there is no custom rom but some are in development.

Awesome, thank you very much, I will check everything and hope to have the Kindle a bit more.... Userfriedly, well, MEfriendly.
It would be indeed really cool if there is at least a bit I can do. Otherwise the Kindle would become more like an Videoplayer for my Kids than anything else... this would be a bit o a waste, as the device itself seems pretty nice.
Edit: The first and third Tutorial are for the 7th Gen HD8/10 Tablets, I have the 5th Gen. Wont there be a problem??

Sorry for a late reply.
I'm not sure whether it works or not on older tablets, but there won't be a problem. Try it, I'm 99% sure that your tablet will be perfectly okay even it failed, because I tried that and failed, but I'm sending this from my tablet.
Good Luck! :good:

Custom ROM for Fire HD 8 10th gen (2020)?

Have any developments been made in regards to custom ROMs on this latest Fire tablet? It is on sale today for only $60, and I'd love to pick on up, but Fire OS . Sorry if this has been asked or answered before, I'm new to the form. I've been looking around, but have only found this thread which doesn't get very far. Thanks.

There is no root or unlock yet. There are no custom roms.

Deal of the day
I imagine some folks will end up here today due to the Amazon deal-of-the-day which includes the new Fire 8:
https://www.amazon.com/All-New-Fire-HD-8-Tablet/dp/B07TMJ1R3X/ref=gbps_tit_s-5_4e18_dde99212
If it was rooted this would have been a great time to pick up some of these... alas.
Maybe an XDA dev wants to try his luck on rooting one of these on the cheap(er)?

Any News?

Also got one of these, hoping to put a clean ROM on this thing

With these now being a hot sales item, I hope dev interest will increase and we can get root and custom roms.

Until such time we learn/find a way to root our HD8/+ Gen 10 ... I say say that the latest Toolkit here (V8.2) has been pretty good for me ... ads blocked, OTA disabled/stopped, Google Play Store running & other apps sideloaded, Nova Launcher working - it's my one-handed device to watch Smart Youtube TV and Vanced Youtube - quick email checks, etc. Fairly responsive and a very good investment for $50 shipped (my net cost) - slightly faster CPU & extra battery run time, bonus icing.

sorry, could you link the toolkit here? I'd send you a PM but I think it might be interesting also for other that end up here.

I’m afraid not. My device is also pretty usable after the “treatment” with toolkit, nevertheless I’d still appreciate the chance of installing another OS. I see many people online are asking if there’s any update, I’d even invest my own time in finding a way to root it… if only I had the knowledge to do it I’m afraid no Pro user owns such a device and therefore there is nobody searching for a way to unlock it.

does fire 8 plus support vietnamese language?

anynews for this Onyx?

Any news here? I'm kind of surprised the KFONWI has been out over two years and nobody's been able to get LineageOS working.

Amen. LineageOS on KFONWI would be ideal!

If someone could teach me how to build a custom rom and how to unlock the bootloader and stuff on this amazon tablet, I would totally maintain a build for this rom. I hate FireOS, and since I have no idea how to do anything on android, I don't know how to build roms and stuff.
