[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xtreme144:
Hi all,

Today I installed Jewe SmartEdition on my phone. Everything went fine but suddenly it crashed while running Quadrant. Now it's in a boot loop and I'm not possible of getting in CWM. Does somebody know a fix for this ?

Thanx :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eljas:
Hi.

I don't know if there is a better solution. But if you can put it in download mode you can flash new rom with odin. But you lose your downloads etc.

I hope this help you! : )
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Factory reset if you can followed by deleting Quadrant .

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kickassdave:
unless you have resolved this already....

Pull the battery... put in to recovery mode...

wipe the cache partition and go into advanced CWM options and wipe the dalvik cache... then try rebooting the system....

any difference? or did you just install another ROM over it?

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] janvm:
This weekend I took my Streak out of my pocket and there you had it: a broken lcd screen :x

Before I go out to get a 100 euro replacement-screen I want to check with Dell if there is nothing they can do.

I live in Belgium and ordered it in the UK through Amazon.

My question know is if I can call Dell UK without any issues, of do I have to go through more local canals or Amazon themselves?

Thanks in advance for the help!
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zentaury:
Hey there,

i could only talk for the german side of law: if it is a guarantee issue (like you bought the phone and it did not work at the point of buying) you can call amazon, but i think your issue is more an "i have broken my phone by my own :-(" so you need repair from a service center or something.

AFAIK dell is not replacing the LCD by its own, i've read a lot of comments about "streak falls on the ground and lcd broke but gorilla glass still without any scratch or something" and then they all call dell support but they said "we can only replace the whole phone" so everyone was upset about dell's answer.

Most of them bought a new lcd from spare part seller (new or from an disassembled streak) and replaced the screen on their own. There are also spare part sellers which replace the screen if you send them your phone, thats of course a bit more expensive but they must guarantee that your phone is repaired correctly.

But i think you could try your best by contacting dell belgium or uk and ask them if they replace screen or not. After that you could write dell's answer to this thread so every one know how dell be/uk is handling "broken lcd" issues :-).

As the XOOM itself only seems to support 720p@60Hz via the Micro-HDMI out, I was wondering whether the HD speaker dock (with it's upgraded speakers) also allows 1080p output via it's HDMI out? Anyone have it? Does it still only do 720p? If it's 1080p, then is it 60Hz or 120Hz?
[Xoom Accessories] TeeQ:
Im going to have to go with no, it will not do 1080p out of the dock. all the dock would be is a micro hdmi extension, and HD just is referring to is the "HD" sound that you are now getting.

I dont think the Xoom will be able to do 1080p out being that the tegra 2 only supports up to 1050 lines i think.

but hey you never know with a little tweaking maybe some one can push 1080p out, but will never be a stock feature.
[Xoom Accessories] epakrat75:
Yes, I am hoping that like the overclock of 1Ghz to 1.5Ghz there might be something similiar that can be done with the HDMI out somehow.
[Xoom Accessories] clay_atx:
xoom looks great with hdmi out to my 24" monitor, but looks absolutely terrible on my bad ass 58" plasma. go figure.
[Nook Color General] LarcenQ:
Forgive me for the intrusion, but I have a question for you all. Looking at the various threads and screen shots, it appears that most are using a rooted nook rather than honeycomb or froyo; is this accurate?

My story:

I was in Best-buy the other day shopping tablets (Xoom, Galaxy, iPad, etc) and someone was walking by and said "Hey, save money, get a NC." Of course I was like, what? I'm no stranger to Linux, servers, and basic programming but tablets and android is uncharted territory for me. So, after this guy did some basic explaining I was like "half price, and near limitless customization? Yeah thats for me!"

So here I am, been browsing this website for a few days trying to decide how I should go about 'unlocking' my NC. Do I use some sort of root kit to just unlock the 'stock' system? Do I use 'Froyo' on a SD card? What about this honeycomb thing, should I use that?

Like I said, it appears from screenshots most people are still using the basic NC system, that has maybe just been rooted to run apps and such from the market? I'm sorry for sounding dumb, I'm really not, just not sure what route is best for me, or the best choice. I am a fast learner, I just don't want to spend weeks learning something only to realize I was learning the wrong thing for what I need.

What I've gathered so far:

Stock rooted NC - will do fine for most users. Launcher Pro, Pandora, YouTube, browsing, games, gmail, etc. What about GPS? Google Maps?

Froyo - Same as above, some cosmetic differences, bells and whistles only advantage?

Honeycomb - Culmination of the previous two lists?

Insight welcome please?

Signed,

Work in progress.
[Nook Color General] Gin1212:
It may be a little over half the price... But the Nook color is half the speed of the Motorola Xoom. So if you really have the money, I would return the nook color and just get a xoom, you'll be happier with it. If you're looking for just something to surf the net, and play a few games or programs, then the NC is a decent choice.

I use CM7 nightlys. CM7 is in my opinion the best rom, it allows bluetooth support and flash. It can be overclocked to 1190mhz. And has a lot of options for customizations.

HC is limited to a preview sdk build until google decides to let others have the final source, which could be a while... (Motorola Xoom comes with it installed)

Froyo is limited in a lot of regards, and CM7 is far better and offers a lot more support for programs and hardware. That said... Some people feel Froyo is better than CM7, but they're essentially the same underlining OS.
[Nook Color General] rogerdugans:
Individuals requirements vary, but since you asked I will give my two cents:

CyanogenMod 7

While it is currently not released as "stable" but only nightly builds, the nightlies are extremely good. Phiremod is based on the nightlies and adds some nice stuff, but is also slightly behind since the nightly has to be released before it can be customized.

The latest is CM7 nightly 32 right now (http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=nightly&device=encore) but it changes almost every day.

A Video Test build was just released that has YouTube working in all its glory (? Did I really type that?) so the video issues should be a thing of the past in a few days. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=960537

The same dev has an overclock kernel which gets the cpu up to 1100mhz and adds the interactive governor- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=925451

And another guy took a great idea and ran with it: adding Tablet Tweaks to CM

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1002000

I generally run the latest nightly with an oc kernel but now that the Tablet Tweaks has made so much progress, my routine is like this:

Flash latest nightly

Flash Tablet Tweaks

Flash OC kernel

Don't let the "nightly" status of CM7 put you off too much- the CyanogenMod team are perfectionists and won't call a rom Stable until it is PERFECT.

Right now the nightlies are better than any fresh install of Windows I have ever seen, for example.... ;)
[Nook Color General] pwlorraine:
I wouldn't go to honeycomb as a permanent solution now - it is reasonably good but still experimental with problems running full tablet applications.

I'm using Froyo but will switch over to CM7 shortly. At one point, froyo was more stable (two weeks back - things change fast) with working video and flash. CM7 has come along quickly and its time to move on. Having said that - both of these require some fiddling to get working properly. This is not a no-frustration experience - if you are comfortable with sorting out linux-like issues it won't be too bad. Fun if you like tinkering with gadgets.

Rooted stock is stable, adds the open android market to the the stock B&N experience which includes a very nice reader. If you upgrade beyond stock you will lose the reader which has some desireable features like "borrowing a book" in the store, magazines and newspapers. Not working on froyo, cm7, or hc.

I'd agree that cm7 is probably the best compromise at this point - at least for me. You will still be flashing gapps and wondering where certain apps or wallpapers are in the market.

Xoom or galaxy tab actually work (largely) without customization today. Closer to an ipad experience in that it works out of the box. Nook color can largely replicate those functions but you'll do a little work setting it up.

Peter
[Nook Color General] A. Nonymous:
I would not trade the NC for the Xoom just because the Xoom is so ridiculously overpriced IMO. Personally, I would go with stock rooted. If you find that you are wanting to do something with it that you cannot do on stock rooted, then look for something else like Nookie Froyo or Honeycomb (which is still a little half baked on the NC IMO).
[Nook Color General] LarcenQ:
Wonderful advice and well said. Thank you much for everyone's time, I above anyone else know how precious every second is.

'Sorting out linux and tinkering' is exactly on point, I've been doing that very thing for about 12 years now. I like to consider myself an avid enthusiast rather than full throttle geek. Anyway, I think I'll study the route of stock rooted and further my knowledge on full flash before taking that plunge.

That being said, one more question and I'll let you all get back to more important things. I should be right in assuming just follow the steps in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=872490 or the v3.* thread to fully root the stock NC and have google apps, market, etc up and running? From what I've read, this auto-nooter has pretty much all of it built in already; Gmail, Market, root-kit etc.

PS: Wonderful site, very informative.

[Nook Color General] xdabr:
I'm in your same boat (I recently started with Nookie Froyo on SD so I can leave the Nook alone, but am just learning what else needs to be done to fix some buggy behavior.)

One thing to understand is that there are multiple versions of Android. The Nook Color still ships with Android 2.1 (Eclair). They are supposed to be pushing out 2.2 (Froyo) in a few days. The Cyanogenmod (CM7) people are using 2.3 (Gingerbread). And the NookieFroyo folks are of course using 2.2. I have no idea what Phiremod is. As expected, the later versions of Android tend to have more features/work better.

The 3.0 version of Android, Honeycomb, is still the most experimental and apparently doesn't work that well with the Nook Color yet. Worse, Google has decided to hold back the latest source code of this "open source" project for now, meaning that only the Xoom can run the thing. But it's the only Android version with true tablet support.

As to GPS,the Nook Color does NOT have a GPS chip, so regardless of Android version you can get GPS coordinates only by rough calculation based on a WiFi database or by tethering to a GPS device or GPS-equipped cell phone.
[Nook Color General] rogerdugans:
Phiremod is based on CM7 nightlies with some very nice customizations.
[Nook Color General] robedney:
Yup -- Xoom overpriced. Unless you've a burning desire to be on the cutting edge, I'd go with the Nook Color and wait out the pricing on Android tablets. They are bound to come down.

Also, a couple of key points:

Barnes & Noble is theoretically going to push an upgrade sometime in April that will include Flash capability and some sort of Market. No details on the market. However if they're smart there will be a host of apps available that we all know will run on the Nook (because we've rooted and downloaded them). This new stock configuration may be all that a lot of people want or need.

If you are determined, however, remember that this forum is like a big toy store and can be confusing. You can run stock internally and dual boot into a fast SD card to run virtually any other configuration. Or, you can flash the internal rom and run most of these variation on the OS internally.

Here's the relevant point: When booting, the Nook Color looks first at the SD drive. That's very cool, because it allows us to do a whole bunch of fun stuff.

I'm currently running rooted stock internally and CM7 (the version with working Bluetooth) off a SD card. Truth be told I typically boot into CM7 because it works so well -- even for reading B&N Nook books. I use a little variation that allows hard key dual booting. There is a brandy new release of CM7 that resolves some video issues and I'll update to that.

However, the CM7 releases do not include the Google stuff, including the Market, so you have to load those via ADB (Android Development Bridge) which means setting up your computer with an Android development environment -- something very doable and free, but it takes some time to get it all working right.

The holy grail is probably Honeycomb, the Android version specifically designed with tablets in mind. There is a development version of Honeycomb that actually works pretty well, but it's not fully fleshed out just yet. I've got it running on a separate SD and it's very cool, but lacks some functionality. Once it's fully developed that will be my daily OS for sure.

One of my wants and needs is to be able to use an external folding keyboard. The only version floating around right now that supports the Nook's built-in Bluetooth (unused by B&N) is a release of CM7 -- and it works. I can use the nifty Freedom Pro keyboard and it's really pretty good -- no excessive lag.

Hopefully that's enough to get you going. I'd say -- given the overwhelming wealth of information on this forum -- keep your Nook stock until after B&N pushes the update. In the meantime, get a good fast SD card and use that to mess with your pick of Android versions offered here. Pick just one and than tunnel down into the forum to work with it at first.

Happy Nooking!
[Nook Color General] LarcenQ:
Thank you! I wanted to try this CM7 tonight when I got home, however, I do not want to wipe/tamper with my onboard nook, and everything I've read about CM7 you have to install on internal memory. Is there a link to the instructions on booting CM7 from the sd card?

Thanks in advance!

[Nook Color General] namartlu:
There are hardware differences to consider too.

NC is 7 inch screen, vs 10 inch for XOOM and some other tablet.

Then size and weight.

Also NC doesn't have cameras, the others may have one or two...

And NC doesn't have mic, although bluetooth headset may work.

I am happy with my NC for its price and what I need.

[Nook Color General] ace7196:
Just make your of which Stock ROM you have (1.0.0, 1.0.1, 1.1.0). Each Nooter is made specifically for each ROM.

Also, as far as Gapps is concerned, there is no need to use ADB. All of it can be installed easily via ClockworkRecovery. ADB stuff is fun, but not needed to get full blown CM7 w/gapps and everything else.

[Nook Color General] pmilford:
HI,

One question for you:

What do you want to use the Nook for mainly?

Toy/Playing/learning/Android Apps/Web/eBooks... CM7 (Nightlies)

eBook reader mainly... Perhaps stock rooted.

Lots of video/Flash? Not sure which, perhaps Froyo. CM7 soon.

Require bluetooth? CM7

One immediate advantage for rooting is access to other eBook reader

applications, such as Kindle.

Don't forget to look at/select a soft button approach that you like,

Android is expecting more than the one button at the bottom. I like

Button Savior from the market, but there are a variety of other solutions.

It is handy to have a bunch of SDcards on hand too, I never seem to have

enough of them. Don't forget that when you move to an internal memory

version of, say, Cyanogenmod7, that you need a SD card for data too.

Good luck, the NC is a fun toy!

Peter
[Nook Color General] xdabr:
We're in dire need of a single (maintained) collection of all these pre-built SD card images -- is there such a posting?

[Nook Color General] rogerdugans:
DOH!

Read post carefully BEFORE replying!

lol
[Nook Color General] Talesin_BatBat:
Also, to correct an earlier list, regarding firmware revisions in relation to the NC:

-Android 2.1 (Eclair) - Stock firmware (and AutoNooter auto-root); good application support, still most widely used by the rooted community.

-Android 2.2 (FroYo) - Nookie FroYo. Sharp performance increases over 2.1; some glitches. (B&N are planning an official upgrade to 2.2 at some upcoming, ephemeral point)

-Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) - CM7; same performance boosts as 2.2, and then some more.

-Android 3.0 (Honeycomb) - Hacked together, 'tablet-optimized' version of Android. Currently glitchy and slow as Google has admitted it was a bunch of hacks to get it working well on the Xoom. Most likely this will be rolled into the next major (IceCream Sandwich) before the source is released, allowing for daily-driver speeds.

Widest compatability and lowest glitches keep most everyone on 2.1 currently. Once CyanogenMod7 (CM7) hits a stable release (currently on RC2) I predict a large number of people will be likely to change over to get the performance bumps.
[Nook Color General] LarcenQ:
That wasn't so bad.

Running nooterd 3.* on the internal memory and CM7 on the SD card. I like the CM7 better as a few things don't act right on the nooter. Wallpapers, launchers,etc. Trivial, I know but still.

Once CM7 migrates to stable branch, and I'm more comfortable, I think all will be right with the world. lol

Oh, and does anyone have Bluetooth working via the SD Card install of CM7?

Cooking with fire now!
[Nook Color General] painter_:
Even though CM7 is in the nightly stage it is very stable. No not let the the nightly scare you. I usually update to the newest nightly when a milestone is reached. Such as bluetooth or video fixes.

You can follow the changes to CM7 here http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=encore
[Nook Color General] LarcenQ:
Thanks for the vote of confidence, im used to riding on the bleeding edge, nightly cvs, svn, and ~x86 arch Gentoo, so nightly android doesn't frighten me. Not yet knowing all about ADB, clockwork, etc however makes me feel like im walking 18 holes blind folded.

Once I get a handle on what they are, ill feel more comfortable wiping out the internal memory and overclocking (if that's necessary at all?).

Good night, and thanks again for all the help, advice, and overall good conversation!

Signed,

Making progress.
[Nook Color General] altimax98:
Yeah about the nightly thing is a bad word lol. The nightlys and test builds I've used are just as stable as any stock rom I've run. Of course they have issues (much less now that bt, video work) but the issues are typicly ones you expect to find. I ran HC for a month or so and loved it. Nothing beats the HC experience. But lack of dsp, bt and general support from Google ATM, its a pipe dream. Cm7 has far surpassed most roms I've run.

I highly recommend trying a bigot everything to see what you like. Here are my findings:

Stock - didn't quite run it long enough to really test it, but I hate the button hacks (before the days of status bar mods) not to mention the slowness of eclair. Stock nook app has its advantages

FROYO - Hardy ran this one lol. It seems like old faithful though.

CM7 - this is where 99% of the development is at. With working Bluetooth, DSP, Full videos and such its almost a no brainer to have thus build as your stock. The downsides of it are that you have to keep up with the nightlys if you want the newest updates. Also down deep its always a phone rom, and can't touch HC's tablet form

HC - hands down my favorite. Put aside the lack of video, bt, alot of missing apps, no tablet apps due to preview build, and put those off and you've got a fantastic rom and os that in my opinion is amazing for tablets. The status bar is unmatched even by tablet tweaks, the view of running apps in static screen shot on the fly from any app is a great feature. But hands down the browser is the best. There isn't another web browser for android that touches the speed and usability of the HC browser. Full HTML sites have never been so easy to zoom, scroll and click links.

Again its all your thing, I recommend trying them all on SD or emmc.

[Nook Color General] ylixir:
Yep, works just fine. Only difference between eMMC and uSD booting is maybe uSD will take a tad longer to open an app, or pop up the keyboard the first time. Everything else is basically the same from a user's point of view.

wut? ;-)
[Nook Color General] LarcenQ:
Hm. Must be doing something wrong on my end then. I'm assuming all NC's have Bluetooth? When I try to turn mine on it just says 'Turning on...' for a few seconds then just goes back to 'Turn on Bluetooth'.
