Turns out the defy can use this file.

Here is an example of what it should look like:

NTP_SERVER=ca.pool.ntp.org
XTRA_SERVER_1=http://xtra1.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
XTRA_SERVER_2=http://xtra2.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
XTRA_SERVER_3=http://xtra3.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin

To use it create a file called gps.conf and place it in /system/etc

Just need to change the ntp server to one closer to you, check out (http://www.pool.ntp.org/) to find the poll address.

so on an average day of using your Nook Color.. can you post this info

Average battery time:

ROM/Mod running: (CM7, stock, etc)

Overclocked?:

Thank you very much for your time :)
[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
8-10%/hr in active use (wifi, network, normal usage), .2%/hr in standby.
[Nook Color General] doncaruana:
Running rooted stock, about 12% simply reading a book with wifi off. I have it overclocked (1.0G, conservative) now, but that has made no difference in the usage. If I'm actively using it (playing a game, etc), I get considerably less out of it, although I haven't checked that since overclocking.

Personally I think mine sucks a tad on battery.
[Nook Color General] JLCollier2005:
Average battery time: 6-8 hours of active use

ROM/Mod running: CM7 build 19 currently

Overclocked?: to 925 with the default kernal

streaming gives me much less time, but watching video on the device doesn't drain it too badly. If I"m offline just reading, it lasts a good amount of time.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spike378:
yahoo video is not working for me but other site flash works like CNN. Anyone else have this problem? Flash 10.2
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Butch1326:
Yes. My assumption, although I haven't tried this recently, is that it will require the Flash fix (hack) used to get Hulu and Fancast videos streaming to the gtab. The source is probably setup to stream to the desktop version of the Flash player vs. the Android version. The hack fakes it out by making it think it is streaming to a desktop version of the Flash player.

If I get a chance this evening, I'll give it a whirl to test out this theory.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tg9413:
I am trying to install CM7 on the new cappy I just got as a replacement from AT&T. I did a 1-click back to stock and start following the instruction till I got to the point that I have to boot into recovery after flash the CM7 initial kernel.

The screen went blank after the AT&T boot logo, and the 4 led key on the bottom is lit up. It seems it might be working as i press the power key after the AT&T logo is gone it will do a reboot now. But when i use volumn to move the down the selection and press the power button it does nothing.

I followed the exact same procedure on my old cappy, and it worked like a charm and successfully installed the CM7....

Wonder if anyone has similar experience, or is there certain model cappy has different display or something. both cappy are from batch 1007.

Thanks in advance.

Hi folks,

Is there an easy way to edit the swype dictionary to get rid of the nonsense words that seem to have crept in?

Cheers

John
[Defy General] LetoKynes:
Yeap, it's Settings > Language & Keyboard > User Dictionary.

Hold click on any of the words you'd like removed and press "Delete".

This helps with words that have been added by yourself, though I'm not sure how to remove words that were already built-in to begin with :)
[Defy General] Jwsail:
Thanks for that. Had a look there and it reckons i dont have any user added words.

Very few of the words I want to delete are actually words at all and I am not sure how they ended up in the dictionary.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chaser1919:
I am unable to backup and am not able to restore due to this "MD5 Mismatch". I am using Clockwork. Can anyone help me to restore?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
I'm not sure about clockwork, but with Amon Ra, if you try to restore a backup that you've renamed incorrectly, it will give you an MD5 mismatch. If you've renamed your backup, be sure that there are no spaces in it. Keep the name simple, no spaces or apostrophe's or anything like that. Then try restoring again.

If you never renamed it to begin with, it's likely that your backup is corrupted.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] losphn:
mismatch error happened to me on clockworkmod without me ever renaming any files. it rarely happens but it does.

I would flash another rom, change recoveries (update or downgrade recoveries as well as changing between ra/cmod so experiment) and mismatch error went away for me..
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blakeboys:
If you decide to flash another rom consider myn's warm twopointtwo (click my red signature banner) and go HERE to upgrade to amon ra 2.3 recovery.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chaser1919:
Thanks all. What is special about MYN's? Im running Konis right now but I kind of wish I could overclock a bit. Anyway, Ive never used Amon Ra, is it the same principle?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blakeboys:
If you wanna overclock then install setcpu and flash a custom rom. And Myn's is just my personal preference runs smooth, EVERYTHING works, and has many customization options. But konis is good too and konikub listens to the demands of his users and answers questions and requests promptly.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chaser1919:
I have installed setcpu and it wont let me overclock. The max is 998. Im sure there is a kernel compatible that will let me overclock this ROM. Well hopefully!

it might be but i think that it uses much ram...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] -Arturo-:
Iq1d just to clarify a few things If we changed the cache to for example 2048 kb would that mean that the system would have 2MB of ram less? If so we could test other cache sizes for example 1024 that's only a 1 MB of ram and I would be willing to sacriface it for the sake of higher sd writing/reading speeds.

Here's one of the tests from the thread

I think it is worth trying I suppose it would speed up the devices of users who have data on sd card.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] daedric:
To gain extreme stability, we must use data on sd img/part.

If we can improve sd reading speed at the cost of 1/2 mb of ram, it would be worth it IMHO.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Aiex Rlder:
i really hope this works, as the only way to have stable data is on SD but the phone runs really really slow this way.

EDIT: I installed SD tools and ran it a couple of times, getting speeds of around 5mbps write/ 10mbps read on my class2. With these speeds my kaiser runs painfully slowly, wondering if the script will make any noticable difference.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] -Arturo-:
Results from one of the users from the thread.

Using the 2gb Class 2 that came with the phone.

R: 9.3

2048kb:

W: 4

R: 26.2

3024kb:

W: 5.1

The card read speed gains are mind blowing.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Aiex Rlder:
are you using data on SD? does your kaiser feel faster? because i don't know if i've done it wrong but my system is really slow all the time and apps are even slow :(
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] -Arturo-:
You misunderstood me. This arent my results I just posted them here. The resulrs where taken from the original sd card fix thread.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Aiex Rlder:
ah sorry must learn to read <_<
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Krazy-Killa:
Hm, could be useful for people who have fried NANDs ... *cough*

Though what really needs to improve is write speeds. Read speeds would be fine if /system is on NAND, but write speeds needs to improve as that's where our slowdowns come from.

On average, our Kaiser's SD Card reader writes on average 4.8Mbps, where it writes about 8-12Mbps depending on how much actual RAM is available.

Granted we could really use the increase in read speeds, but what good is fast read speeds if the SD card dogs down due to it having a very slow write speed.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] daedric:

128:

write: 4.8 read 11.4

2048:

write 5.2 read 24.2

not sure if this improvement in read speed actually speeds up my kaiser. do you think a class 6 card would speed it up much?

not sure exactly how to implement it permanently, i tried manually adding a file but it didn't seem to work. though altering this value isn't too bad as i don't reboot often.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] daedric:
There's no caching on write aparently (probably to avoid lost data).

So writes must be mostly dependent on class + SD reader/writer driver.

Acording to wikipedia:

Class 2, 2 MB/s, slowest for SDHC cards.

Class 4, 4 MB/s.

Class 6, 6 MB/s.

Class 10, 10 MB/s.

(this is write speed, MegaBYTE).

So... either we are getting bogus results, or our cards are a little above the quoted class.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Aiex Rlder:
i think the classes are minimum speeds, and it seems other users are getting higher speeds than their class. how did you implement this script btw?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] daedric:
Read 1st post. Follow Link. Read whole 1st post there. There's a sample script there.

You must create a file in /system/etc/init.d/ named 99something_you_chose (should begin with 99, the files are executed in order, we should have our script run last).

So... either you remount /system with read+write permissions, and put the file there, or edit the androidinstall.tar and put the file there, or a androidupdate.tar with the file there.

Or...

hmm, drfno1, so do you have system and data on your SD card? is your kaiser quite slow then with write speeds of 2MBbps :S

i can't decide whether to buy a higher class SD card and if that will improve my kaiser's speed.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] drfno1:
Been playing with this config only a few days with wifi only. My understanding is that the ext4 file system speed is what makes the system very usable. The only thing I find frustrating is the time it takes to boot and become stable. I say try it on your current sd first. The boost in reading seems to help starting apps and using file managers.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] -Arturo-:
I don't like this sd tools app at all. It gives me some ridiculous readings. I have a 6 gig class 4 card with 5 GB fat32 partition, the app shows that the size of the partition is 4,2 gb. Also I get speeds of around 1.9 writing and 4.5 reading...this can't be right. I have just tried another app and the results were as follows writing speed 5.1 and reading speed 10, this seems more like it. Unfortunately after applying the script I don't see any changes in results still around 5ws /10 rs.

If you've deleted busybox files then xRecovery is crashed - go for SEUS or flashtool->SEUS.
[XPERIA X8 General] kecil26:
or pc companion :D
[XPERIA X8 General] kirilito:
The most proven tactic in this case is to flash with SEUS and then repeat the rooting, xRecovery etc.
[XPERIA X8 General] Graveir:
You need booted system for PCC, as far as I remember, otherwise it will not detect the system it's supposed to flash.

If he's got a custom ROM SEUS will claim it's up to date and will not flash. So, flashtool with old ROM first, then SEUS for newest update.

Good looking dialer, but right off the bat I have noticed a couple things.

1. You have some typos in the menus, the first one I noticed is in the vibration settings for hanging up the phone.

2. I long press a contact and hit delete through the dialer and the contact still remains.

I think I still prefer Youlu.

I really like your dialer! I sent an email on my issue though. I am using pongster's hyperdroid GBX and it is set to 167 density by default. Everything looks good except the dial pad is bunched up to the left of the screen. If this can get fixed it would be the one I would use!(
[Android Apps and Games] Try4Ce:
If you set other DPI levels (Densities) on your device besides the original values, you have to expect visual issues from some applications. The DPI levels are actually quite relevant for the correct display of graphics.

Dialer: Downloaded the dialer, and I LOVE IT! It really looks nice, its smooth and I love the functionality. Plus I really love the regional identities, I can see which number belongs to which mobile provider, and landline numbers show me the correct location. Even in Germany here it works great!

I only would like to have an option to actually set the default opening screen (dialer, contacts etc.), set if the call history is shown only in the history tab and not the dialer screen and maybe hide facebook contacts which are mostly from canada since I lived there for a while. If I call their mobile numbers, I would be poor in no time ;-)
