Just a FYI, if anyone fancies helping with the porting of Meego to the Tab, please take a look here: http://wiki.meego.com/ARM/Hummingbir...ung_Galaxy_Tab
That should give enough information for people to get going and I'm filling it out as I have the time. I'm currently trying to debug some sort of issue with the framebuffer driver and Xorg which means we don't see a display (even though Xorg is running apparently quite happily).
If anyone has any questions or thoughts please catch me on irc (#meego-arm). Thanks

Thanks for all this! This is FANTASTIC! ...but I assume this only works on a particular version of the Galaxy Tab? (i.e. SCH-I800 is the one I have. I didn't see any notes about which versions this should or might work with... or which version you had used to do all this.)
Kudos!

I think the difference you guys have (i.e. no voice calls) is above the kernel level, and in any case we've not got to the stage where we're going to start looking at how to communicate with the modem.

Actually, Google Maps is, in fact, available in the Android Market.
First thing's first--STOP AUTOKILLING APPS.
Second, assuming you have a rooted Galaxy Tab, you can use Titanium Backup to FIRST: back-up your copy of Google Maps. SECOND: Uninstall Google Maps using Titanium Backup (even OS apps can be uninstalled using TB). THEN, go to the Android Market and reinstall Google Maps.
Lastly, Why is it crashing? I doubt that uninstalling and re-installing will fix that. What is the symptom and how does it crash? Maybe we need to triage the issue before we jump to conclusions about a cure for the problems.
Is Navigation part of Google Maps 5? I had assumed they were two separate apps since that is how they appear in the apps menu. That may explain why I could not find Navigation in Titanium Backup to backup, uninstall and reinstall (or maybe it was there and I just couldn't find it).
As for the navigation crashing it happens everytime I put in a destination. The app opens up fine but when I try to set destination that is when it crashes. Just the typical force closure issue. Screen goes black, device vibrates and then I get a message "Sorry! The application Maps (process com.google.android.apps.maps) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again" And then there is one option only "Force Close".
EDIT: Uninstalled and reinstalled Google Maps and still have the same problem so that is not a fix. Also tried using walking navigation rather than car (lol) but still got an immediate crash.

Well, this is as good a place as any to mention that I expect not to be posting as much on this site as I've followed through on my threat to get a non-smart phone and in the future get a tablet for my leisure computing activities. Needless to say, the tablet won't be from Nokia, which no longer offers one. And the non-smart phone isn't either. I bought an N800, N810, and two N900s, but this is pretty much the end of the line. I am going to try to hold off on buying the tablet for a bit, as the best seems yet to come. I'm typing this on a Dell Latitude D400 I bought in Moscow almost ten years ago; now that I reformatted it and am running in Linux, it's faster than ever.

Here is the HTC Flyers active digitizer (pen):
http://armdevices.net/2011/02/19/htc...ndroid-tablet/
It shows how having your hand on the screen doesn't affect the writing.
The input lag is somewhat disappointing. Optimization people!
I looks good, but seems like a rather gimmicky implementation. I have doubts that it will be well supported by applications, but I hope that I'm wrong.

What happens when you're at the Android desktop, tap the MENU key and then tap on "Wallpaper?" How did you know you messed up that particular apk? Maybe I can try to help out or at least research it with you.
I had to download terminal for android and do some tricks with a sdcard.zip file that contain the livewallpaperpicker.apk file.
Thanks.
Only new live wallpapers that I install from the market works.....but am happy!

If so--this might give you some profound promise/hope for when you throw Honeycomb on there, as I'm sure we all will at this rate.
