Tab 2 7.0 Winning!

[azlen]

... Stock launcher stinks.... unless the some settings somewhere I can not find. Why do they was so much space with the huge margins....
How's your Go Launcher? Mine seemed like the dock especially was off. The icons where not centered and towards the bottom of the dock partially off the screen...
Playing with Nova Launcher right now.

Only thing I do not like about any of the launchers I've tried so far, I really like the s-calender widget month view. I have not been able to get this on any other launcher. Just a week view. Would prefer the month view.

Overall this is a really nice tablet.

Using Go Launcher Ex v 2.87 with the "Themes Window 7" and seems to work fine. There are an incredible number of options with this launcher and I'm able to have many more apps on each home screen than the stock launcher.

You can still use the S-calendar with Go Launcher. Either add the app S-Planner to a home screen, or click on the centered up arrow in the status bar and select it from there. (make sure status bar is selected under screen settings)


The stock browser is better than most stock browsers, but doesn't provide text reflow I had in CM7, or a home button. Have tried other browsers on the tab and text reflow doesn't seem to work on any of them. May be a function of ICS and/or the Tab. If anybody else has more info on these items, would appreciate it.

I might have to put Go Launcher back on and mess with it a bit more. That's what I use on my phone and really like it.
I know I can put the s-calender app on the home screen but I want the widget.
From the little I've used of the browser, seems fairly nice for a stock one.

got this for mother's day (love that I have kids and a dh who know that jewelry doesn't do anything for me. toys do!)

I'm having so much fun playing. I do think I need to try go-launcher though as it does seem a little odd on the home screen to not have so much space.

My only trouble is finding accessories for it -

Where is it on the galaxy tab 2?

Where is it on the galaxy tab 2?

That would be on a cell enabled version.

*#06# in the dialer.... wait does it even have a dialer.... scratch that.... settings, about, should be in there under status or something....

edit: settings: about device: status.

It'll be in there if you have a device like the tab 2 7.7 on Verizon.

It's this or the kindle fire. What do you think

for me no question, this is much better then the Fire. But you might want to wait for the new Google/Asus, it should be out in a few weeks and at this point it "might" be worth checking out the reviews when it hits the street. however I'm not disappointed I got the Tab 2, it is a a great device at a reasonable price.
