[Request] Viewsonic G-Tablet or Tegra 2 Tablet Development Area

We really need our own development forum. It could be set up for Viewsonic specifically, or Malata A1002(many versions of this rebranded) based devices.
These threads are getting absolutely too big to deal with:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=824804
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=827209

Agreed, this device is really taking off and there alot of good info, but the size of the threads are getting to big to find it easly. A section for the G-Tablet or at least Tegra 2 platform would help.

Even though I am currently hosting tegratabs.com, I agree. That site was set up as a stop-gap, in hopes that we will soon get an official spot here on XDA. I'll continue to host forums there while they are needed, but I have no problem with converting that site into a wiki or other informational resource once it is no longer needed for forums.

I completely agree.

Absolutely agreed.
<Short and sweet!>

Yes, please!

Thread Support
I have always respected the work that is done on XDA and support (and donate) whenever I can...
Please continue by giving this device the respect it deserves by allowing more room.
Thanks in advance.

The current thread is getting VERY hard for new people to catch up. I have been reading since the first post and still spend 20 minutes or more catching up a few times a day.
I think someone said there are 30k of these coming to market this year. I know XDA was mainly for smartphones but tablets are coming up quick. So maybe a tablet section under the android section? 1800+ replies on a week old thread on a device that was poorly advertised (dual boot huh?) and poorly executed (tapncrap) is pretty amazing to me.
Either way thanks to xda for giving the geeky masochist/enthusiast in all of us a place to call home over the years.

This. Agreed. Thanks Nearly 2000 posts in 10 days is worthy.

Adding my two cents. If the Galaxy Tab gets one, so should we.

Agreed. A Tegra section would be great.

+1, it'd be awesome to have a forum here.

Adding a forum for this device early next week!

It's a redondant request, and all the time we says that's enough for xda members.
You don't need more to avoid thank's spam and thanks to excessive.
That's why you have 8 thanks per day. Before it was 5..
You get 8 thanks per day, and they renew after 24 hours or so. Each thanks is independent of the others,
so if you give someone a thanks at 3, and then another at 4, those will renew at 3 and 4 the next day.
If you run out of thanks, then save that page in a new tab and give thanks later when you have one available.
If you use them all every day you are doing it correctly.

Nonetheless, requests should be placed in this thread.

Not sure how much I will be able to contribute, but I have (and am still) learned so much. Its amazing, that little search box up top has answered every single question I had about my android phones. To all the fine folks who run/develope/contribute/post here, THANK YOU!

Well I just joined and can not contribute to any of the conversations I would like to contribute to because I do not have 10 posts yet so I guess you can count me as unsatisfied at the moment.. I can't even comment on stuff in the marketplace? So I'm forced to contribute BS to conversations I don't care about to get 10 posts so I can join the discussions I want to join. There seems like there has to be a better way.

Give it time and you'll be able to contribute knowledge that the devs don't get to. While they're making sweet roms for us to use the rest of is are here to help others get to know how they work and contribute fixes for people who get unlucky and brick there phones. It took me a couple of weeks to get enough understanding to be able to help and soon enough you'll be there as well.

Would have to agree with you kentu3. MOst of the questions have already been answered if you search.
Another thing that I do before posting a question about ROM "xyz" is to read the whole thread on that rom. You would be or not be suprised as to how many times the same question gets asked.
Thanks again kentu3 for this thread, and a big thanks to the DEV's and MOD's who make this site worth visiting

Hi! New here. I for one like the 10 post rule because it helps keeping it clean and when you surpass the limit you have proven yourself worthy.
Coming from a wide range of other communities, also as admin or moderator, I instantly knew XDA's rule was brilliant. Looking forward to contributing in any way I can.
Now I'm gonna try and find out how to find this Thanks-button in XDA app

It is quite an ad-heavy site unless you use a blocker of some description. There's also a mammoth amount of content. I've seen a lot of people mention load times as a downfall, but to be honest I don't notice it taking any longer than some of the other tech sites I frequent
Load times are such a subjective thing though, everyone will differ. What browser do you use? Firefox seems to pop up a lot re: slow load times.

Well I typically do most of my surfing at work, which I use IE right now. Don't have much of a choice. I downloaded Firefox a while back but it never worked right. Not sure if it's because of the firewall or whatever here, (I have no idea how that all works) but Firefox was terrible. I tried to get Chrome but it's blocked too.
The slowness to me isn't really a huge deal, just curious why as other forums I frequent load pretty fast. But the more I surf around here, there is a TON of info.

I use IE (6) at work too Ed, and it's noticeably (horribly) slower than Chrome at home. Likewise, all other options are restriced here for me.
For personal use at home, the latest Chrome with Ad Blocker Pro (free) works extremely well at speeding up the genera;l browsing experience here at XDA. It is a resource-heavy forum so it still takes a little longer to load, but that's the price I pay for the wealth of information here, to me personally anyway
Could be worse, I was on 56k at home until last year when they upgraded our RIM (out in woop-woop)

[TIPS] The Most Helpful GNex Devs

As a tip to all new XDA members, and as a way of saying thanks, I'd like to point out some of the most helpful and knowledgeable GNex Senior Members.
There are about a dozen or so who come to mind, but the two who really stand out (IMO) are efrant and Jubakuba. If you're brand new and trying to get up to speed on the gnex, I suggest you do searches on their names and read their excellent tutorials and messages. These two go out of their way to help new users without flaming them, and have incredible patience.
Also remember to hit the thanks button and/or the donate button on the messages that help you the most. It's easy to forget (I've done it, too) but it only takes a second and it helps keep them motivated to continue.
If anyone else wants to mention someone they think deserves some praise, by all means do so. There are several others on the tip of my tongue, but I don't want to forget anyone, so I'll leave it to others.
So read, read, read what they've taken the time and effort to write. It's the fastest way to learn what you need to know about the Galaxy Nexus, and it will answer 90% of the questions people come here to ask. And you won't get flamed nearly as much.

I deserve props! I am the Team BAMF mascot, after all.
/me runs away before anyone thinks he is serious.
On a serious note: I approve of the two names you mentioned.

Thanks for the recognition strumcat -- it's much appreciated!
Although I wouldn't even come close to calling myself a dev (save that for the likes of adrynalyne ) -- I'm just a little guy who has stood on the shoulders of giants.

Hee, hee, yes I've seen and appreciate you helping people, too. Only reason I didn't mention you, martonikaj, oldblue###, etc. is because I knew I'd forget to thank the many others who also deserve it. Well, that and general laziness.

Well, all I know is I learned a lot from your tutorials and Jubakuba's tutorial, and it sure beats wading through an ocean of information and misinformation to be found elsewhere. Unlike magazine articles thrown together to meet a deadline, etc., they're accurate, complete, and kept up-to-date. Real windfall of info for the uninitiated. So I thought I'd point others in the right direction. Besides, it didn't hurt and didn't cost me anything, so why not?
Man, I watched you answer a whole string of messages from some guy the other day that would have driven anyone else bonkers, and carry it all the way to a successful resolution. Never once did I sense a desire on your part to throttle anyone or break something. Wish I had half your patience.

DEVS....Thank You All....I Bid You Adieu

All of the E4GT touch devs...thanks for all the software and tips that made being on Sprint a bearable experience. Crawj, sfhub, QBking, Agat, Sextape, rwilco12, venom, datajosh, and everybody else....thanks!
I have sold my device back to sprint and I recently bought the RAZR Maxx on Verizon. I travel ALOT for my job and the nationwide sprint network was just too terrible as far as data and cell coverage, its sad because Sprint was my first cell company 10 years ago....smh.
I'll probably get the RAZR HD when it comes out..I know i could've waited...but my sprint situation reached critical mass...and I HAD to switch. You guys are all rockstars from mars...rock on dudes...rock on. :good::good:

If everyone that switched phones or carriers started a thread like this we would have a ton of crap to search through to find any useful info. Wouldn't just hitting the thanks button once in a while be just as good? I mean unless somebody cured cancer are we not really just blank faces here anyhow?

Shoutout to woody296 lol.

Wtf? Why do people feel the need to post these threads. Nobody cares that you bought a new phone. Hope jay closes this trash.

OK I try to avoid these conversations and not respond. But come on. This is the General section. He is not trolling with some worthless garbage that many people tend to post. He is saying goodbye to a community that he has been a part of and thanking people at the same time. He has not attacked, harassed or complained about anything. He has not posted something that has been posted 100 times. And he has posted in the correct location. So if he wishes to express himself so be it. If you don't like what he is posting move on. There is no need to disrespect someone for sharing their thoughts and/or feelings.
If I left for another phone I would probably do the same thing. Because it is a community. I try to help people in my community, be it virtual or real, in any way that I can. So I don't see anything off the wall with someone saying goodbye to their community and showing gratitude for anyone that has helped them. Yes the thanks button works and yes I use it all the time. But sometimes a written message, that takes an effort to write out and that shows a thanks coming directly from you, is much better than a click of a button.
I think we should all lighten up a bit. Sometimes we take things way to serious.

YeaH!

It's only polite to say good-bye. If anyone's "trolling" it's the naysayers in this thread. The old adage, "if you don't have anything nice to say, shut the Phuck up!" Holds true here! :silly:
Give the guy break....wave good-bye and move on. Jeesh!

I would like to agree and I would back every word written above.
As a member of this community who tries to do something for our phones (I won't call myself a dev yet) I really like to see some posts and not just the tnank you count. It helps me to keep up with what I'm doing and continue doing it.
It shows me that my work is needed and wanted and IMHO without that feeling I don't know how long I would of done all this.
And I can't imagine a single person who would not appreciate simple warm words and a "thank you" message for work done and for effort and time invested in something.
And one question at the end.
This is general section for anything and everything a member whants to say or share.
What is wrong with expressing ones opinion and feeling or posting some "Thank you" words here?

Well maybe we should start a poll? I have zero talent in this area so if someone else could do that i would hit their thank you button. Hey, how come this guy didn't thank Jay or did he and i missed it? Hotspace and agate63, you forgot to thank the op, cmon now, live up to your posts.....Thank you for thanking him\her hotspace, only one more left...

I don't have a thanks button.....but thanks OP.
I changed my theme just so I could provide Thanks!

When you really want to thank someone, you do it one on one so you can look them in the eye,shake their hand, or even pm someone so they really understand you mean it.When you do it in a room full of people it's called grandstanding. You get to tell your story and then others can look at you and go "ain't that nice" so it's actually for the person saying thank you not for the person being thanked. So it's more of a drama thing than anything else. Not that i meant that's what the op was doing, I'm sure he\she was genuine.

Banter is just that.....it goes back and forth. Kind of like a volley in tennis. However, I was raised to praise in public and criticize in private. To each their own...:good:
