[Q] Looking to Buy But Have Questions - G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was attracted to this tablet as a replacement for a recently sold off Nook Color as it was a 10'' device but running 2.x rather than 3.x. I enjoy HC on my SGT 10.1 but I missed the feel of 2.x as well as certain apps not supporting 3.x and at any rate needed a machine with ports and expandable memory for storing reading material.
To that end I know that the GTab has the same resolution of 1024x600 as the Nook Color and I was wondering if apps scaled the same way (full screen on NC but not too pretty sometimes)?
An example would be Age of Zombies.
TL;DR version:
How well do apps tend to fit the screen?
Thank you in advance for any help on this matter and if this question has already been resolved I would greatly appreciate a link or keywords for searching.

here's hte easiest way to respond to your question. Age of Zomibes running on Calk/Clem Gtablet:

Thank you very much for the quick and detailed response. I think I will be going for the GTab now.

[Q] How to Dump ROM and Root New Device (Mi700 DroidPad)

I know this is not a HD2 question, but I am desperate for some guidance and answers. I am about to get my hands on a new Mi700 DroidPad, a budget Android Tablet, with Android 2.2. I wrote a review which was picked up at Engadget http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/30/c...wfully-famili/. The software as I can perceive it so far is problematic (slightly buggy). Since this is a new device (and I have checked for any development efforts from the Net and found none so far), I was wondering what I should do in order to:
1) Root the device
2) Dump the ROM
In regards to rooting the device, I was thinking since it shares the same CPU as the Aria and Legend (MSM7227), can I just use the one-click root method? I will try that, but would like to know alternatives if that fails.
On dumping the ROM, well... I have no idea what can be done, but would love to try doing it, so that Flash can run on it. At the moment, though it is on 2.2, Flash does not appear in the Market.
Anyway, thanks a lot guys. If anyone can help clarify the matter or point me in the right direction, it would be much appreciated. Btw, I'm trying to arrange with CSL to give developers some discount on purchasing this device which is equal in functionality with Samsung's Tab, without the crazy pricing.
Thanks!

[Q] Android Development for Pantech SKY Player SMP-301 PMP

Hello fellow XDA-ers
I was looking around on the internet, and I found this:

Pantech's SMP-301 "SKY the Player"
A relatively unknown PMP, that never made it past Korea, made by Pantech. Based on that site, the player comes with 32 GB Internal Memory, a 3.7" 480x800 AMOLED display, and from small research, I hear it's capable of 1080p video playback without conversion.
There's one thing which I feel is a let down to this device though, and it's got Android 2.1 Eclair on it, and I have tried to look for developments for this device and found none.
My question is this, do any of you know of android developments for this device, if not, based on experience and perhaps knowledge, how difficult would it be to port a Gingerbread, if not ICS Build on the device? I'm thinking a good starting point would be to work from other developments on Pantech devices already.
Thoughts guys? :O

[CLOSED] Who's hoping for awesome custom ROMS for this?

The thing has good specs, good audio... and squandered potential. Only being a slave to a Android device?
This would have been a *****in' GTV device. As Google TV is in rough shape, even getting a full Android ROM would be good. Here's to hoping it can be easily hacked.
Seeing as it is a Nexus device, I would surely hope that it has some level of hack-ability and modding. They even said that they encourage modding of the Nexus Q when they announced it at I/O. I'm excited to see where it goes!
Because they know that if someone come qith a good hack making it available to play games, run full OS or something like that people like will start buying it

It would be great if the GTV system could be ported over to the Q. I like the idea of the Q but a custom Rom would get me off the fence and grab my card to order.
Live and Die on this day....
There's already a thread for speculating on possible uses for the Q, please continue all further discussion there.

[Q] Good books on android apps?

Hey guys! I want to get in to building android apps outside of appinventor P)
Any ideas where i can find a good book, etc to learn a lot of what I'd need to know?
Essentially, I'm a 15 year old script kiddie (see here ) who doesn't know much "real" code. So you know where I'm starting from ;D
(I have eclipse and the sdk, etc installed.)
Thanks!:good:
From what I've seen, "Professional Android 4 Application Development" seems to be a pretty well received Android programming book. I'm just about to spend the money on it myself
Thanks for the reply! Checked out the comments, seems to be a book for people with java experience though

[Q] Changing screen size of Dell Streak 5

Hi,
I have a dead pixel Dell streak 5. I though about decreasing the screen size from 5inch to something like 4inch or 3.5 inch. Is it possible?
So I will use the phone only with live pixels. See the attach. please help if there is any app for that which supports ICS (2.3 or 2.2)

You have a bit more than a dead pixel there.
While it's an intriguing concept, what you want to do cannot be done. You would need to rewrite every single driver related to the screen, and quite honestly that's an awful lot of work for little gain. That's assuming of course that such a thing is even possible.
Sell the device for parts, if you can't find a replacement screen at a decent price.
I thought about using an app like a multi screen apk. floating browser etc etc. but since it is 2.3, It doesnt support such apps. Do you have any suggestiong about it? any Mods?
I already gave my suggestion in my prior post. No mod in the universe will help with a hardware problem.
