Thank You

This should work, but I have never converted the files, so let me know if it works for you. If not, we'll explore other options.

I have an Asus Transformer and hubby has a Galaxy. I don't use it so much because I cannot find a word processor for mine that is compatible with Word. I do most of my work on Word, so this is very important. With not being able to have a word processor, I don't use the tablet as much and end up on my Sony Vaio laptop or my desktop for such things.

Is there a decent word processor for the Transformer?

It will help if you stick around to answer it.

I have 2 .tar.tar files as well, do they have to be converted too?

When it comes to bricking your device, if you know what you're doing, a brink isn't permanent - recovery is an option (usually).

Rooting can look overwhelming, but it's pretty straight forward. Knowing command lines always helps, but it's not 100% necessary.

The benefits are substantial: CyanogenMod (community developers for Android) is huge, and offers more tech support for Android than your carriers or the actual companies could ever offer. Here's an overview of the benefits of rooting:

Not 100% certain, but there are ways to convert .tar to .apk using ArcConvert:

Here is a similar question to yours asked:
http://www.justanswer.com/software/61rr8...-file.html

Seems like the above link should help you in your quest. Seems pretty straight-forward to me, I think.

What exactly are you trying to convert into apk, if you don't mind me asking?

Hmm, it doesnt give the option of converting the tar to an apk.

I've been messing around with graphics lately. I would love a heavy conversation on the various graphics subsystems...
surfaceflinger
Skia
opencore
Stagefright
What I would really like to know is the various library links/dependancies for each. Some of them are obvious and easy to figure out, some of them are not so obvious. Trying to find out any heavy solid info on this is near to impossible.

Thank you, i will have a good read.

I find that I have a bad tendency of derailing threads if the Android OS is involved - which is not intentional by any means on my end, so I figured I would make a LoP Android thread for questions/comments/concerns/ideas with Android.

It has turned into a hobby of mine, and while I don't claim to know everything there is to know about it, I would consider myself at least versed in the area. So, if you'd like to root your Android device, but don't really know where to start, install CyanogenMod, delete bloatware, etc., I'll do my best to assist you.

I don't know if thread will gain traction, but I hope it does - I hate seeing people with unrooted devices suffering through the lag that bloatware creates, not being able to use their device to its full potential.

And yes, I know that people claim "Google is NSA/CIA," etc.

There is/was controversy surrounding CarrierIQ on just about every smartphone out there - Android, Blackberry, and iPhone. You can remove this from your device: Check out these sites for some help:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthre...?t=1373967

XDA-Developers and Rootzwiki are very good places to start, with a very helpful community. Do a search for your device over at these sites:

http://www.xda-developers.com

Anyway, moving on, I heard around about D making LoP Tapatalk friendly: is it still just an idea, or a work-in-progress?

Another question: What devices are LoPpers packin? As for me, I have the HP Touchpad running CM9 (ICS)/WebOS and the LG Optimus S running CM9(ICS).
