Guest Garry Reed Posted March 10, 2011 Report Posted March 10, 2011 Well after a after a few days research and toying with getting a reduced priced ipad but really an android boy(old man), I decided to get a vega. Out the box its not bad, limited in what it could be done but ok. Downloaded the R8 mod, took more time to get the drivers correct on my win7 64bit machine but with loads of help from various posts I managed it. Flashed the vega with the R8 mod and hey presto, its that easy, eh........ A big Thanks to Paul, Great Job and Great Site. Any great apps that anybody would like to reccommend. How do you get rid of the bar at the bottom, I will do a search on this site but just in case somebody could answer quickly ? thanks g
Guest High Flyer Posted March 11, 2011 Report Posted March 11, 2011 Congratulations - I tell you - I Have no regrets with mine, I love it to bits. First of all, apps wise, I'd recommend getting a replacement home application, I recommend Launcher Pro, however, there are a number of people that recommend ADW. Each to their own. Second, Load it with some games, Angry Birds is awesome, So is N64oid. Dolphin Browser is a must, real tabbed browsing! I Hope you enjoy it :(

Guest Fuzzysteve Posted March 11, 2011 Report Posted March 11, 2011 The Home application's the main one you see, when you hit the home button. With the icons along the bottom, and the right hand side. You can stick widgets and so on, on it. One reason to change it, is to get rid of those links at the bottom. I had no need for a bookmark to get to twitter, because I use an app for that, for example. Launcher pro is a pretty customizable one, where you can pick what icons go where, have a few docks on the right hand side, and so on. https://market.android.com/details?id=com.fede.launcher You can pay for an upgrade to the plus version, but you don't need to.
Guest Richard_Arkless Posted March 11, 2011 Report Posted March 11, 2011 (edited) Sorry I might be a bit of a noob, what is a home application and what does launcher pro do. g Im also tempted to get a vega as well, ill probably get it in may, that is if there isnt a serious competitor out then A home application is the gui where you add your widgets and launch any apps that is in the draw The problem with the default one is that it doesnt come with a lot of options, while with a replacement like launcherpro, adw or go launcher ex you have a lot more customization options....I know your probably asking yourself why would I want to do this im happy with the default but trust me once you have switched you wouldn't want to go back to default again Edited March 11, 2011 by Richard_Arkless
