Just bought one of these for my granddaughter. 39.99 on eBay. I plan on rooting and installing the play store. I know I'm on my own here since Coby went under. Have most of you had good luck with these? I would have bought the Nexus 7 but the're a bit more fragile. I can live with throwing...

Well sort of, I still have the S3 with unlimited data on VZW but wanted to upgrade the wife from her LG ENV3 without loosing my unlimited plan. This has been a great phone for her. I introduced her to Android by giving her a Nexus 7. She uses it for work and has even been able to use an...

Hello all, So I acquired one of these inexpensive tablets after a sales pitch at DirectBuy. (no i did not join and neither should anyone unless you are building a house, maybe). It is running Android 4.0.3 Kernal 3.0.8 and build eng.wineluo.20121107.145.wineluo. I see there have been a few...

Has anyone experimented with this? USTVnow - Watch Live American TV Shows Online In my quest for local TV on various portable devices this is something to consider. Seems to work well on the Viewsonic and PC's but my trusty Droid X is just a bit too slow to properly sync the audio. The only...

OK, short story is I bought a droid X to experiment with on ebay. It arrived as promised in usable condition with the flash at 4.5.621 stock. It also had been flashed to Cricket I immediately flashed and rooted using the Milestone sbf. Successfully rooted and installed the stock rooted rom...

Ok so to make a short story long... I was having trouble with my camera switch for some time. I took the latest OTA update thinking it might be software related. It was not, the problem persisted. Watching the disassembly guid here...

Ok gang, Flashed to the Honeycomb Flashback rom just for fun. Great rom, thanks all. I'm exploring the limitations already mentioned but encountered one more. I download and install fresh from the market Google maps. As soon as you launch, before it completely zeros in on your location it...

I picked one of these up on ebay. Folding Leather Case Stand Cover for Viewsonic G-Tablet | eBay Shipping from china takes about 2 weeks but for less than $15 this is great for those that want a little protection when traveling. My only complaints are it's a little tight to use the touch...

OK, so I have changed roms too many times to count and still for the most part I'm sticking with Vegan-tab. Anyhow the question is how bad is it to NOT do a full data, cache, and dalvic wipe before each change? I have been pleasantly surprised to see all my apps there after each change. Today...

Well it has been entertaining. Tablet arrived on the 7th from Woot, played with it for less than 20 minutes and applied VEGAn-GE-7.0.0-RC1-Harmony (GB2.3.3, stable build) For some reason cm7.0.3 (GB2.3.3, stable build) would hang at the CM circling logo, why? Anyone else have this problem...

Well this has been an adventure. I was having problems with corporate Sync email and the word was they would be solved by upping to GB. I had stayed at Froyo by renaming the updater APK. By reading here I chose to do the rooted stock GB, "something for everyone." Downloaded installed as per...

I missed the same deal at buy.com last week. I'm thinking at this price it would be less hassle than going with the Superpad 3 16GB currently at 212.99. Decisions, decisions. Anyone else in? StillHacking

So it's around 6:30 AM and I heard the default "droid" sound. I take a look and it's downloading. I'm not happy, lost my one click root and perhaps other options for roms. I thought this was my phone, Moto and VZW. Oh well more reading as to getting root back. I WAS going to wait till more...

Well it has been 3 weeks for me and the Droid X and what can I say. This is a great phone and I feel sorry for those locked into the highly vaulted Iphone4. I have it rooted at 2.1 (I don
