Hopefully this isn't another 'keep customers happy, tell them what they Wang's situation. But, Gingerbread does seem to be rolling out to a lot of devices this/next month, so it could be a possibility.

[Streak 5 Accessories] gasolara2002:
I purchased the car charger from the eBay seller Yourcharger. I have had it for 3 weeks. It works very well. It charges just as fast as the factory wall cable with the factory cord would. It is far better than paying for dell's car charger. I also have his USB cable for the streak and it is excellent too. Having a 6 foot cable makes it alot easier to talk on the phone while it is charging. I recommend his products when it comes to the streak. The quality is excellent and the product works just like OEM.

Is there any way to be able to buy magazines and books from B&N when not living in US and running CM7A on the Nook?
[Nook Color General] lechiffre:
Use the B&N app or use a web browser, though magazine display isn't supported anyhow.

Also, you can only download said content from the US or Canada iirc.
[Nook Color General] recman78:
You mean there is an B&N-app on Market? Cant seem to find it.
[Nook Color General] Nburnes:
Look up Nook.

It only allows for browing and buying of books though. Magazines aren't supported for some reason.
[Nook Color General] AidenM:
It's on the market

Yeah, just search "Nook"

That's it.
[Nook Color General] diomark:
Word of caution. Bn doesn't allow purchasing apps outside of the us (and maybe Canada?)

Im in Saudi Arabia for work right now and wasn't able to purchase any books from the nook program, nor from the website. (I was able to get around the issue by using a us proxy server though)

Might be why you can't see the app.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StrangeReality:
Hello guys, I tried looking for this problem on the forum to no avail.

I recently installed the new 2.3.3 firmware leak and ever since I have had problems with my music player. The music plays fine until the screen turns off and then it stutters and forces the phone to restart.

Has anyone else experienced this problem and are there any known fixes? I tried playing the music off the internal and external SD which doesn't make any difference.

Thank you.

So ive not had probs with FC using Overcome 1.4.0 with kernel 2.1.1, but good to have :) and useful for those that are cooking ROMS
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] DarkPal:
Ok for those who are skeptic. This Dictionary is WORKING. You just need to remove the fcing crappy dictionary on your ROM before installing this do not install over it or it will FC as well (I thought it was obvious but apparently I was wrong).

Here are the steps (tried on JMK ROM):

1. Wipe the english dictionary data (press menu-setting-applications-manage applications-all- english dictionary-clear data).

2. UNINSTALL buggy dictionary (use Titanium backup if you're a noob, root explorer if you know what you're doing, or adb if you really know what you're doing).

3. Install the english dictionary apk and you should be up and running :)

Might upload the ebook app as well as some people have lost it as well.

[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] R^7Z:
What's an HTC? ;) :p

So, are you asking for someone to port an iphone app to winmo? I believe it is also available for Android (from THIS website) Brought to you by the amazing the powers of Google! :D

Additionally, THIS post from XDA mentions it is not available for winmo/windows mobile, the native OS for HTC devices in this forum :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] bk-killer:
thank you for this information .

i want to ask if there is an app like it for winmo
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] R^7Z:
The straight forward answer is simply no. If you would like me to bore you with other reasons why, just ask. :D ;)

Alternatively, if you want to bother yourself with using XDAndroid, that would be another means of running it, my friend :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] bk-killer:
wich one is easy to use winmo or android
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] R^7Z:
Considering which HTC device you have (I assume you have a TP since you are posting in the TP forums), winmo would be the easiest to use since it comes from the factory that way. However, since no one has attempted to port the app from iphone/android, it would make using the app a tad difficult :D. Also, if you are positive that you have some computer experience, then you might want to read up on the XDAndroid project first before you make the attempt, my friend! :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] kud0s:
Just curious which rom to load on my GF's Magic (32A).

I gave her the phone but her battery life is not the best. She can drain it in 5-6 hours with moderate/heavy use. She does not care about the fancy crap. She likes to play the odd game like solitare etc. I just want to find her something that will last her through the day a bit more. I think I have a version of ginger yoshi thrown on there.

It has been a while though, so I was curious which rom people would suggest for battery etc.

Not exactly sure what your trying to say. If you use a DHD rom from the DHD threads then you are going to have to apply a sound fix. If you are looking for a stock rom just grab Cleard,TCP or DILLIGAF from the inspire dev section.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ewingr:
I find that no matter what ROM I use, I have something that is a problem.

The most success I have had is with Serindipity. But, with that, and other 2.2.1 I9000 ROMs I have tried, after 2-3 weeks, I have the auto rotate fail. Nothing will fix it other than a flash back to stock 2.1, and then reflash of the 2.2.1 ROM. Not even a factory reset on the 2.2.1 ROM will work.

So, now I am trying UCKB1 ROM (stock 2.2 Froyo for Captivate), specifically Cognition. This one is pretty successful, except...modems are few, and I have constant problems with WiFi enabling with Tasker.

Those are the two issues that seem to haunt my phone.

What is your experience? Of course, if you don't use Tasker, maybe the WiFi issue won't be a problem for you.

I suppose the auto rotate could be a sensor trying to go out on my phone...but, EVERY time I do the reinstall of 2.1 it fixes it. So I have cannot replace the phone, and given that it always starts working, I'm not convinced it is a hardware issue.

And for those on 2.2.1, what I've seen generally is that most people putting these ROMS on are flashing addicts (I'm not saying that is a bad thing :) ), but I prefer to use the phone and not constantly flash. Too much other config to set up after flashing.

Oh, by the way, one fault I have is way too many apps installed. I delete some and then next thing you know I've installed others. Pretty much requires that I use an OC kernel, and I like to use UV for battery performance. Interestingly, I have been quite successful at 1400, and 1.5%/hour drain at idle, with WiFi, GPS, and BT on.

To be honest... every single ROM (minus one or two random tries) in this forum are worth keeping, imo.

They all have their pros and cons, but they're all well made.

A few I really like:

Phoenix

Serendipity

Continuum

There are many others, but you get the idea!

Yes, my expectations are that all the roms are 'great'. But, as noted, I have not had ANY that don't end up with problems, as outlined above. Other problems, depending on which ROM, and kernel combination, is Blue Tooth voice dialing. Again, I'm looking for someone using them successfully long term.

I'm hearing people like sames ones I have tried, plus one or two.

What is strange is the issues I outlined above that I continue to have. May be related to my hardware...don't know. Will be interesting to see if anyone posts that indicates having same problems, and even better, having conquered them either with specific ROM or a fix.

Thanks. I'll continue to watch this thread, and will likely try a different ROM.

No phone are created equal(hardware limitations) and may react differently with different types of rom or kernel but so far my phone likes paragon rc6 even with 1400mhz kernel and faster mount in ext4 my phone is pretty stable.

I've been on dillis rom for about 3 months straight. I tried cm6 a while ago and I think I tried cognition the first time I flashed but dillis is just so simple, stripped and speedy. awesome GPS too(huge for me) and batt life exceeds a day(even more huge). however, themes and fluff arent my thing. I don't think I'm the only dilli fan with this opinion.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ewingr:
Good feedback everybody. I may experiment with one, or more, of the ROMS discussed here.

At the moment, I not sure how long I've been on my current ROM (Cognition 4.2.1), but at the moment, my issues may be working out.

The WiFi issue is improved since doing a clear of cache and Dalvik cache. We'll see how that goes.

The Auto Rotate, so far, has not messed up.

The one nagging thing at the moment is my notification volume constantly changes back to very low. Not sure what is causing that.

I've seen a couple votes for Andromeda. I was looking in that thread a few days ago, and even the change log (didn't read top to bottom extensively) and I could not find what it is based on; what kernel it is using; or modem. Of course kernel and modem would be changeable, but I would like to know what base it is on.

Again, my goal is to find something working well; performing well. Its interesting that after starting this thread, my 'issues' seem close to resolved based on what I'm running. Want to give it more time.

Does that not make some sense?

That's all I was getting at. While I have read a thread front to back, I only do so if I have decided I do want to use the ROM. Sometimes a little logic in placement of information in documentation makes the documentation so much better.
