TouchFlo Finally Working!!!!

Managed to get Touch Flo working tonight (between 5&6am), i am using Shadow as ROM, the steps i completed are as follows:
Install Instructions
1) install touchflo and softreset
2) Delete the bio.lnk in Windows/startup
3) Delete the reg file in HKLM/Software/HTC/Biotouch/Biotouch ver
4) Map Touchflo to any free button
5) Softreset
6) Start touchflo, then go to Windows folder and start Biotouch.exe
(These are exactly the steps i took, i dont know anything else, these just worked for me and i posted them in the hope they might work for someone else!!)
Usage Instructions
1) Press the hardware button you specified to start toughflo
2) Press the hardware button you specified to rotate the cube
3) Press the red call end button to stop it and get back to the main screen
If there are any hangs, uninstall TouchFlo and start again
There are 2 irritating things (very minor!!!)
1) Cant be used with finger like real touchflo i.e. cannot drag finger up to launch or down to exit (yet!!)
2) The hardware button rotates the screen as well as starting touchflo, this might not sould like much but, for example, if the last screen you were looking at was the Music/Photos/Videos page and you pressed the red call end button to get out of TouchFlo, and you want to go back to the Music/Photos/Videos page, you will press the hardware button to start TouchFlo, but at the same time as starting it, it also rotates the screen so it is on the page after the last page you were using, resulting in needing to press the hardware button once to start TouchFlo and twice more to get back to the screen you left off at.
As i said these are minor but this should work for now untill it is properly sorted out
Enjoy
Regards

hey
i will mod my cab and release a beta once i confirm its working.
thanks again

Awesome work guys, all of you cannot be thanked enough. It's a thankless job sometimes, but this ain't one of them! Keep it up

i have done no modification to your alpha cab, i followed some instructions i found on your other site and they didnt work for me, black screens, massively slowed down Shadow, so i did it slightly differently and it worked first time, nice and fast and everything seems to be working!!!
As i said i am using your Shadow rom, no mods, my own software installed thru cabs, and using the instructions detailed above
I must say thanks to you for releasing the alpha for me to play with!!!
Thanks again JJ
P.S. is it ok to PM you i have afew questions that are off topic here!!
Regards

OK, this all sounds promising, but are you saying that you still cannot use your finger to do anything? That everything still needs to be done via buttons? Can you use your finger to scroll thru lists? Its progress that it is working at least, but isn't being able to use your finger the whole point? Or perhaps I'm misunderstanding you.

Dude,
First Point: it is 6:36am i have been messing with this thing since 4am, i have a disertation to research and im taking time out to do this, everyone on almost every forum(Trinity, Wizard, Hermes, other sites etc etc) wants this working, and we have it!!!
Second Point: This is an ALPHA RELEASE that basically means it only works sometimes, i have sat here installed checked it works, flashed my f'ing phone with the Shadow ROM, so there was nothing there that could possible help this work and installed it again.
Third Point: Yes the idea is that you use your finger for everything, but as the second point states this is an ALPHA, later releases will have this im surebut for now i appologise for not sorting that but im tired, y dont you try and get it working with your finger? (that wasnt ment to sound perverse but it does!!!)

i keep getting the black screen no graphics? please help ?

i think the thing you will find with this is the fact that this is deoendant on the ROM used too!! i cannot provide support for this i dont really know the ins and outs of it, i just posted what i did to get it to work!!!
the official link for problems and developing is here:
http://www.4winmobile.com/forums/htc-hermes/10127-touchflo-alpha-testing-discussion.html
if you read this it seems that the functionality of this is very dependant on the ROM

i just got it to work with Black Shadow.. but a few hours ago i installed Shap's rom and i installed touch flo and it worked perfectly, i didn't had to delete any keys or go into /windows folder or any of that stuff with schap's rom
another thing* for those of you having problems, try installing the audiomanager today plug in to see if you get different results, i have noticed that whenever the plugin is not in the today screen the cube seems to not work*

I assume this only works on a Mobile 6 Rom, and not on Mobile 4 (WM2003SE)

Doesnt work, i dont get y someone doesnt just fix this f****** thing, 12 hours i have sat here with this, it is 8am this was a night not worth trying to help out, i understand now why people ignore you, i stupidly took a look at this coz so many people were moaning about it, i know now why i shouldnt bother 12 hours and so many attempts for nothing
not even microsofts releases have this many problems this is a joke

Should i add bioscroll to Artemis Vanilla 2.0? (Coming soon!)

I can change touch.dll and add a few files to get bioscroll (not the cube) on the new vanilla rom. It would not slow the rom down or take any free memory away.
What you guys think?

Add it
I can't think of a single reason why not, it is something I love.

Hi, I actually bought an XDA Orbit after seeing the excellent rom work that has been done here and I would definitely like to have that feature. Thanks

Yes,
All i want is a clean up to date rom, with GPS Photo and (bio)scrolling support. The HTC Home Plugin is very handy, but i can miss it.
I am sure if you make a rom which looks as the HTC original, WITH scrolling and GPS Photo support, lots of people would use it.
O yea, and please, dont make a black version... There are other colours, i like the Blue O2 premium you made, and used it quite a time.
little offtopic. Also, if there is a easy way (ala customizer) to put scrolling or other things in it would be great (even with a hard reset or something). Unfortunately its in the ROM (as ive been told) and therefore not possible(?).

what's exactly bioscroll?

Is BioScroll the thing which made my Artemis with your TouchFlo 2.0 ROM randomly scrolling up and down?

I say yes.
Maybe you could give an option to switch it on or off like Tom does in his ROM?

Well this is what i've done - disabled by default in true vaniila style - there is a smal cab in windows that enables it.
This stops having extra apps or control panels messing up the feel of vanilla
Total storage still 58.76mb and FAST as ever.

I can't wait vanilla 2.0 .I've very impression in vanilla 1.0 so much.

Also add the disconnect button when connected to the net via gprs

I never liked it much. My opinion is to remove it an give an option to install it later for everyone who likes it. Just as you said.
Good work man.

I agree to that also.

YES, keep it in 2.0.
With bioscroll, I can scroll with finger at anywhere with scrollbar. don't have to use stylus to scroll.
But I don't use cube often. maybe others do also.
Having Bioscroll alone without cube should make this ROM more popular.
Waiting for it. Thanks a lot.

Please leave bio scroll in - i loves it
Cheers

DON`t install it ...everything installable on a later basis should be left out, is what i plea for! ....leave it customizable

"installable"?
is it possible to install scroll function? sorry but i didnt hear about such possibility...
about all other programms - i agree as well that there's nothing should be. to have a chance to install a newest version every time.

any idea when?
thanks

Schap's WM6 Pro 4.00 Beta 1 ROM (CE 5.2.1921 build 18521.0.7.0)

I need beta testers for this Beta 1 version of the new ROM I'm working on.
There will be a lot of new stuffs in the final release, so it means a lot of work and complications, so I will make it step by step.
This new version will be a mix of all the best components among Hermes ROMs and new ROMs from other devices. This Beta 1 is a basic ROM and will be quite similar to the final Lite version, it is meant to test the stability of this new build.
Unfortunately I wasn't able to make it "real big storage" like Bepe did, I spent hours and hours working on it, without success, so if anyone managed to make a real big storage ROM please let me know!
I'm listening to your feedback!
Download:

whoot! Downloading

Downloading

Excelent! will report soon...

I can't wait!!!
I feel like a kid getting ready to open a present. Will report back with my findings.
Duper

So far very fast, I mean VERY fast, I loaded it out with my usual setup (free storage around 40 MB) and it still is a burner, no issues with stability (yet). I'll see how it holds up when I setup touchflo and work with my corp network.

Wooohooooo !!!
Going to try it cant wait!!!

I will backup all my stuff and download

yep but the only extra (that I can see) is advanced config, no audio manager, home, or any of the extras, you will also need your operator settings for internet access. All basic functions work

Guys before this thread get any bigger i just wanted to make sure everyone is aware that this is a BETA. So there are bound to be bugs in it and as already stated this is the very bare minimum ROM.
So Therefore:
NO MOANING THAT SOMETHING ISNT WORKING RIGHT OR ASKING WHY SOMETHING ISNT THERE!
Bug reports with instructions on how to reproduce - Yes
Pointless Moaning - No

Sound Settings
Schaps
I cannot change my settings in Sounds & Notifications. After making the change I click OK and it just flashes hour glass and then changes back to default settings. I can't get out of the screen without a reset.

I can confirm this same thing is happening. You can get out of the sounds and notif settings by hitting start and today but settings revert back to original. They do not save and exit. This was the first bug that I checked out. Going to do a hard reset to see if it will fix it. Doubt it. I am here for the testing. I love it. Can't test 3G till tomorow on my way to work.
Update: Hard reset did not fix it.

Direct3D
I am testing ... very fast... I loaded few proggies and still fast. Iam wondering if it is all possible to cook in MS Direct3D an X file so it will be able to trigger and open Google Navigator.

There seem to be some issues with activesync. I don't know what it could be but it seems that it hangs sometimes while doing multiple things during activesync and won't stop when you disconnect. I have added WMP today pluggin, VJ Candela, Simulsays Visual Voicemail, the new LiveSearch, and Shogun's palm threaded app.
Oh yeah: Its very fast. Even after what I have put on there so far.

Yay for Schaps! Welcome back, I think I speak for everyone when I say we missed you and your ROM's.
Whilst I would love to help test it I am going to have to sit and wait on the sidelines I'm afraid. I use my phone heavily for work and it needs to be stable and with full functionality.
When you release the Full edition in an Release Candidate version I'll pop by and help with the final testing.
Unless of course there is a way I can image my phone so that I can get it back to the exact way it is now after testing?
Regards and waiting in eager anticipation.

[Q] Tilt 2 Installed new ROM. Hate it. Can I go back to Original Shipped ROM?

I installed the new Tilt 2 ROM 5.2.21887 (Aug 30/2010) I HATE IT
I'm a nuvee about ROMs.
I have this file HTCTilt2ATTOriginalShipROM.exe can I *just* run it like I did with the new ROM to go back to the orinal shipped ROM?
I called HTC they said NO. Idon't believe them.

if im right you can install ANY rom after you used HardSPL:
check the sticked topic in this part of the forum (cant post link as a new user)

yes. you will be able to.

You don't need to HardSPL to flash an official ROM (for your specific carrier). The original shipped ROM will flash fine.

Thanks to redpoint73 and all of you guys at XDA.
My only hesitation is becasue de guy at HTC said NO!. (What does he know!)
Summary:
I had original tllt2 ROM.
I just ran the new Updated ROM. no HardSPL (I don't even know what's that)
I don't like the new ROM (only good thing is Videos run smoother)
I had the original ROM file .
Question: RUNning this file is the same as Flashing? (Sorry I'm really noobie)

Fortunatelly I have a file HTCTilt2ATTOriginalShipROM.exe I don't remember how I got it (maybe HTC) but I'm sure is the original.
The only question is that the original ROM was about 8/09 and I believe it was a fix patch on 12/09. I bought my Tilt2 on 4/10 so I don't know if I have to install the patch plus I don't know what kind of patch it was.
Thanks for your help.

yeh the original had some hotfixes, and yes since u flashed it u need to reinstall them. ill attach. i think thats what ur sayin.? there are 2 of them i rared them, if u need em zipped let me know. just unrar them, put em on ur phone, them run them with file explorer. one is for sms and the other is for callerid

Just curious, what didn't you like about the new ROM? I DLd id today and was thinking about installing it. I've had an issue lately where the time gets thrown off, doesn't seem to sunc properly, and I thought this new ROM might address that issue.

Read the oter posts about the new tilt 2 rom.. there is a couple things that suck. I dont like that it dont have the mini task mannager at the top right where it tells u how much memory is free and beable to close app without haven to open the task manager. It dont have arc messaging client, it has HTC message client, and i dont like how it runs, its really slow. the rom itself is fast, it dont show notifications on the home screen , u have to click on the top taskbar to see if u have a missed call and what ever, also the first thing u need to do is install .net 3.0 before u don anything then u need to do a registry edit to get .net to work right.. There is some other things i dont like about it, thats y im not usen it.. wildchild has made a nice update of this new rom, that fixed alot of things that werent right.. but read the form here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=737168 then ull get a better view on this about this rom, whether u want it or not. But the best way to deside if u like it or not is to flash it and try it. Make sure u have the original rom just incase u dont like it. If u dont i have a copy and could upload to hotfile or somethin

1-Besides the above items let me add that the deal breaker for me was they reduced the text input keyboard from 6 or 7 to just 3. No more letter recognition, or handwriting or my preferred method, block recognition. I know is not popular, but I love it becuse it's almost impossible to mistype, it the faster way for me, I use my finger or the stylus and the big plus is it doesn't cover the screen! and I don't even have to look at the screen! The current keyboard covers more than half of the scree and in landscape mode it cover almost all the scree, just one line visible at the top. But the worst thing is that even if I am using the hardware keyboaard it pops over and over again.
2- HTCalbum.exe is just useless. in the Photo and Video tab, if I press "album" to change the albums or to see the grid, it opens the grid view for 1 or 2 seconds and returns to swipe view. If I'm quick enough to press the album key it shows the list of albums but it freezes for a while and returns back again to the swipe mode. The I get an error message from Microsoft with a link to report the error when I press the it asks for Wifi connection. And even if I exit the error message keeps poping up
Internet is definitely slower.
I couldn't find a way to add programs to the WM6 Star menu icons and Sense only allows 9.
How you can see the list of ALL PROGRAMS??
On the good side FM reception is a lot better
The one thing that is noticible better is that finally the the video play is very smooth (sigh) I'm going to miss that because I moving back to the original ROM.

[DEV][CDMA/GSM] Group Effort to Optimize Existing HoneyComb Ports

Full credit goes to Ssserpentine, SpaceMoose, and OldMacnut for their work on their united efforts to port Honeycomb to our tablets! It seems they are no longer working on it so I decided to create this thread and see what we all could to do together to improve what they have given us!
The point of this thread is to find ways to gather anyone with knowledge on developing, even if its just the "lowly 7-Zippers" like me, to see how we can remove minor bugs and small issues from the ROM. I know Oldmacnut was going to pick it up, but he has a lot on his plate right now and he has been in pain and is more interested in finishing the CM7 Port instead. I respect his decision, but so many people want honeycomb working on our tabs. So I am turning to the dev community here to see if we can group together and fix things in this rom together. If we cant solve the major bugs, lets address all the little things, cuz the little things add up.
Spacemoose made a list of suggestions from users earlier on how to solve minor issues, and little workarounds, but I would like to see if there is a way to roll up those fixes into one full updated ROM flashable through a zip/odin/heimdall file, and see if we can come up with more. You can see this post here, but I have added them to the second post as well in a more organized form.

Lets put our minds together and see what we can do guys! Btw this was inspired by Rodderik's thread [SPRINT][CDMA]Galaxy Tab (SPH-P100) Mega Development Starter Thread (CWM, EF17 TAR), so if youre interested in this, you might like his thread too!

Current Workarounds/Temporary Fixes:
Letters correspond to the bugs listed in the OP.
A)
Ssserpentine:
1) Open up Dev Tools
2) Go to Development Settings
3) StrictMode Visual Indicator - turn it off
4) back out of app and now open it again.
5) If this doesn't get rid of MOST of the red borders, REBOOT and open app again.

I would really love a Honeycomb ROM for the Galaxy Tab. There are many reasons why I want to put Honeycomb onto the original Galaxy Tab.
Just see the difference for yourself: Blank space, single pane, one-category-at-a-time menus in Gingerbread
VS.
Less blank space, concise, dual pane interfaces in Honeycomb.
Gingerbread apps are just designed for smaller smartphone screens, so they look too big and spaced-out on the 7-inch Galaxy Tab for my taste. I would really love to see some tablet-optimized apps on the Galaxy Tab!
-------------------------
And yes, I respect the developers and appreciate them so much for the time they put into making custom roms a reality for us!

Please make the thread for GSM also.

Are the bugs the same? Or are there others that I havent mentioned? I will try to make a section for both tabs if theres different bugs in each one.

Why no mention of ssserpentine?
In op or thread tittle?
He worked on the GSM version.
Moose did the major part of the port and the cdma version.
That other person stumbled, or so he claims, on a audio fix. Never saw a release of this apparent audio fix.
Wonder how many donations he got on open thread with no release posted.
Hmm.
Makes ya wonder why that thread is even there.
Dole out the credits properly.
Just know it needed to be said, and go ahead and get mad. Truth hurts.
alot of angry responces coming, maybe, but dare ya to point out a single lie in this post. Even an exaggeration.
Moose did hc for MONTHS and noone offered any valid help, except ssserpentine, why do you think anyone is gonna get off their but now?
Why don't you, punkrock?
Cause I know how utterly hopeless this task is.
Why don't you all just wait for the leak of the next os?
That so much closer than some random Joe, or Joe's on xda getting hc ported at this point .
is the dead horse braised yet?
Still, hope is eternal, I suppose

Easy man, in my frenzy of trying to organize the thread, I forgot to credit Ssserpentine in the OP, youre right he did contribute a lot, no need to be rash, I will update it right now.
EDIT: btw oldmacnut did make an audio fix, im running his rom right now, I downloaded it when he had it posted before he took it down, and Im sure some of the bugs I mentioned are fixable on the rom level rather than through adb. My goal wasnt to debug the rom completely, it was to incorporate all the existing bug fixes and workarounds into one rom, while possibly solving others. Also the GSM devs are aplenty here, while we barely have any CDMA, Im sure we have enough talent to make it better than what it is. It might not be flawless, but Im sure we can squeeze more functionality out of it.

Its weird,
Honeycomb is more or less froyo based, obviously as we had hc long before gb, so at the time when I started getting into this whole dev thing hc/froyo seemed just different to me.
But after working on the abortion called gingerbread, and working onbthe kernel stuff, froyo to me, is starting to look like a much more viable and dev friendly option.
Alot if the work Dan did in hc was from scratch, or from the sdk, etc. The audio fix I did was from both.
The big issue on getting hc up and going into a usuable rom is source, we really really need that source for hc. Otherwise, its going to be a long drawn out road of trial and error building with alot of these issues never really getting fixed.
Truth is,
No device with our hardware exists with hc, so no drivers that we need.
We need Google to release the hc source.
I liked hc on my tab just like y'all, but.......I know its just a novel weekend fun toy till we get better resources.

Yeah I know, the lack of source sucks along with the fact we dont have drivers. I dont think we'll have everything working anytime soon at all, if ever even, but I think some of the minor annoyances like the disappearing quick settings toggle, sdcard mounting issues, and graphical errors can be solved without that kind of stuff. Me personally, Id just like HQ Video Playback and 3D Graphics working a hundred percent along with orientation, but as you said no drivers so idk how easy that'd be. Still, Im sure we could solve some of these minor issues. I keep browsing over the Nook Color Forums trying to find hints to solving some of these things

GSM Tab here I'll flash the old 2.5 alpha release and confirm these bugs, see what else I can do.

Nice to see something happening here. I love my Tab but would like some advancements in OS to address specific issues. I am very new to the dev side of the Android OS but would like to get involved.
--Mike

What blows my mind is that they have created an almost perfect HC port for the $150.00 walmart sold viewsonic g-tablet by means of the flashback roms so why is it so hard to get HC working on our tabs? And why can't someone just dump the Rom from the gtab10.1 and use that as a starting point?
On a different note, the alpha 2.5 HC Rom for gsm, the sd cards will not mount no matter what, I've tried The terminal and the mount instructions many times all I am able to do is get the tab to recognize my external sd as the internal sd, and if you try to go to settings applications and clear data for the gallery you get a force close as soon as you tap manage applications
Sent From Githrog's Tab

Ok done some immediate testing on my GSM Tab for some of the known issues
A) Red Border Around Screen at Random Times
Confirmed
Solution: is the same as the CDMA
B) Constant Gallery Force Close
Confirmed
Solution: Cannot be fixed through Setting, crashes as soon as you try to Manage Applications
C) Stock Launcher hangs for many seconds at a time randomly
Not really was slow on boot but no major problems
D) SD Card Does Not Mount
Confirmed
Solution: Haven't tested fix yet
E) Youtube app does not work
Confirmed
Solution: Confirmed
F) Orientation Sensor is not functional
Confirmed
Solution: "Rotating Screen" flips screen incorrectly so that capacitive buttons are on the top of the device
G) Honeycomb thinks Device Keyboard is enabled by default
Confirmed
Solution: Must be set on each boot
H) When pressing Quick Settings, an image that is semi transparent that is supposed to cover the entire screen isnt scaled properly
Confirmed
I) HQ Youtube does not work (LQ does on the mobile site)
Confirmed
J) Quick Settings Shortcut on Bottom Right Side (Wi-Fi Toggle, Brightness Slider, etc) appears for a second but disappears afterwards.
The widget that display battery level, time, etc stays active however no settings are located underneath it. While this menu is expanded a press on the bottom bar will cause the settings to briefly appear but then the whole menu will close
K) Flash Player is not Fully Functional
Not tested
"New" GSM bugs
1. Wi-fi settings are not saved on restart
2. Manage Applications and Running Services menu causes force close of settings
3. Small thing but Tab's first start had language set to Spanish (Not sure if it was spanish but it certainly was not English)
And as always 3G does not work (tried APN settings but it wouldn't let me save)
Alright I'm back to MIUI until I can find some more time on my hands

If it were that simple I'm sure someone would have thought of that To be honest I think the problem is that the Tab is an extremely fractured device; it was really the first Android tablet to directly compete with the iPad, so it was spread as wide as possible. That's great for Samsung who got a pretty large base of customer but sucks for devs because the GSM and CDMA are 2 very different devices not to mention the P-1000N. When I got my Tab last month the first thing I noticed in this forum was the fragmentation between the different versions of Tabs. More profoundly this means that the developers are split apart, usually when one dev makes a break through everyone else can take advantage of it (i.e. the amazing Voodoo Sound/Color hacks) but not here. I feel like everyone is by themselves and I truly feel bad for the developers because they must make their own breakthroughs on top of dealing with complaints from Tab users with other versions that they want this awesome thing on their Tab. As if its no big deal to go and buy a $450 device to develop something as a hobby and then release it for free for people on the internet after already buying nearly the exact same device.
Sadly I think the Tab is a perfect storm working against modifying it in any ground breaking ways. Don't get me wrong I love my Tab and will try to help getting Honeycomb running but I almost feel like it would just be easier to wait for Ice Cream Sandwhich. /rant

Guys, there is no reason to develop honeycomb, it is inposible to make fully functional honeycomb rom, wait a month or less for ICS, read this (quote from android police posted today):
Honeycomb is closed source. Nobody can make a tablet without Google's blessing. The reason given is that Honeycomb was rushed out the door, and the code isn't good enough for an open source release. They're right you know, setting the emulator to anything smaller than a tablet will result in about a million force closes. Honeycomb just isn't as supportive of hardware as Gingerbread was. To save developers the headache of supporting a platform that wasn't ready, Android's openness got shelved.
Luckily this is going to change. The big cheese said so himself on the Official Android Developers blog, "This temporary delay does not represent a change in strategy. We remain firmly committed to providing Android as an open source platform across many device types." Source code is coming back. This will make the modding community's life much easier. Cyanogenmod 8 (I got excited just typing that) and Ice Cream Sandwich will be able to get hacked onto just about anything.

Wow now that is the kinda posts i like seeing on here! I will try to update the OP tonight with this info! Thanks so much! Definitely echo your sentiments about the fractured and fragmented development we have going on here, it really sucks =/
Ive found out that replacing the existing Gallery with Gallery3D should fix the FC that keeps popping up.
I think Ive found a working Youtube App (in LQ).
Ive also found a hint towards solving the sdcard mounting issue. Its not the vold.fstab its something either in the framework or ramdisk within the kernel, according to the Nook Color Forums.
This thread is interesting: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1062626 , actually the entire nook color forum is interesting for finding fixes.
Also changing the dalvik_heapsize to a certain value is supposed to increase app compatibility. Before I update the OP with some of these things, I wanna do a little more testing and see what I can come up with.

Sorry to bother for help,
Sorry to bother you guys for help, but I've been trying to install Oldmacnut's updated of Spacemoose's CDMA Honeycomb (2.5.1) for hours now, with no success.
I used Rodderick's awesome stock rom/kernel and got into clockworkmod (using 4.0.1.5 or 3.0.0.0), installed the zip from there, then rebooted the phone, but I would either 1) be stuck at logo for 10+ minutes 2) see the Sprint startup video loop over and over again, or 3) get stuck on a turned on, but black screen.
How did you guys install Honeycomb on your CDMA tab? Am I doing something wrong? Should I use Spacemoose's 2.5 rom instead of Oldmacnut's?
EDIT: NEVER MIND, IT BOOTED INTO HONEYCOMB. I am in a foreign language, haha, I'm guessing Portuguese?
EDIT EDIT: Google Translate detects the language as Catalan. Haha!

Hehe that happened to me as well

First Impressions and problems encountered
HOLY SHOOT THIS IS QUITE FAST!
Considering there is no graphics acceleration support, Honeycomb runs much faster than I anticipated. SD card support is fantastic, and so is hearing sound! (I love you OMC) The UI is awetastic and the standard web browser is blazing fast. Scrolling in web pages is faster on Honeycomb than on Gingerbread stock.
The jittery touch screen bug I have is still there, unfortunately. Damn bug drives me crazy sometimes. I'm sure somebody has this problem that many of us have but have not found a fix to: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970965
Basically, when I hold down my finger to scroll on white or light-color backgrounds, the screen shakes back and forth in a spastic, noticeable way, especially when I hold it in place. This happens on every single rom I've been on, froyo, GB, CM7, and now Honeycomb. Has anyone found a fix for that yet?
Anyways, I think all the known Honeycomb bugs are true to me too. Youtube force closes on me, GPS doesn't work, auto-orientation doesn't work. Strangely enough, Quick Settings doesn't work for me. Anyone encounter that?
