Thanks, I was using the wrong version. I'm trying to use winimage to burn the right version to an SD card but I keep getting an error saying "Error Reading File"

Edit: Is 3.0.1.0 meant to only be an update?
[Nook Color General] tuxhacker:
I'm getting the same error and my nook is just keep rebooting.

3.0.0.5 - Error Formatting / System!

3.0.0.6 - No error message

3.0.1.0 - Error Formatting / System!

So I used 3.0.0.6 and flash to CM7 again but still not working.

Does anyone know of a way to adjust the scrolling speed/distance when scrollin either thru homescreen, ie webpages and scroll bar options? Sometimes theres hundreds of options and scrolling only goes so far!! Maybe a registry setting on the speed, i dunno, i will try myself to look and see but im no expert so im not gonna change anything!
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martin-m81:
im interested in that, too. I would love to get a better scroll speed.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] A. Nonymous:
I'm looking for a decent NES emulator for the NC. I tried NESoid lite and loved it. It scales well and just works. However, you can't load saved games and you have to pay $4 to do so. Tiger lets you load saved states in the free versions, but it doesn't scale on the NC at all. At the very least, I can't get it to. It leaves me an inch and a half or so of blank space on either side and cuts off the controls to boot. A and B are barely there. Left and down are cut off completely. I see a few other NES emulators, but you have to pay for them. I'm reluctant to pay for something that I don't know works and I want something that will let me load saved game states.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] kirbfucius:
Based on these two parts of your post, I am unsure why you are unwilling to spend four bucks on NESoid when you know it scales well, works well, and allows you to load saved game states. Seriously, it's less than a meal at a fast food place and it does everything you want it to do. Support the developer, buy the app, be happy! :D
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] azshorty2003:
Theres no emulator close to nesoid. Buy the app. Its worth it. Ive bought them all (nesoid, snesoid, gba, Genesis etc). They are all fantastic.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] silentbushido:
Agreed! Nesoid works fantastic on NookColor CM7, hooked it up with the WiiMote + bluetooth, and a friendly tip of advice when using playing Nesoid and WiiMote, in order to save points in the game, click on the button behind the WiiMote and it will prompt with a menu to save the game. Since the NookColor has only one button as far as hardware goes.

- WiiMote is free on the Android Market.

****If this tip helped, please consider clicking "thanks" below.

Good luck!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] A. Nonymous:
Not interested in WIImote. I have no desire to hook a peripheral of any kind into my Nook. I did go ahead and buy NESoid. The price seems stiff for me, but it does just work. Already getting a kick out of saving games so easily.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Yousie642:
The -oid emulators are definitely the best ones. Playing Pokemon FireRed on GBAoid and it's absolute bliss.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] mtutick:
I like the NES.emu app purely because of how easy it is to sync the Wiimote. I realize you weren't looking for that ability, but I thought I would add my 2 cents. I do find that it doesn't do as good of a job as NESoid at keeping the game running at normal speed (I frequently have to adjst frame skip and down to speed/slow games), but the convenience of the Wiimote was why I chose it.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] silentbushido:
Nice! I was going to suggest you download Rom Gripper, but I think it was removed from the market, you might be able to google it and side load it onto your NookColor.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] A. Nonymous:
Had it at one point. It no longer works even sideloaded. You can click to download a rom, but the link goes no where.
[Desire General] ScRiVs:
as title guys :D
[Desire General] Tillus:
what custom rom are you using?

htc sync does only work with sense roms.
[Desire General] ScRiVs:
Nevermind mate...i just did it and it worked :)

ROM: InsertCoinHD 2.0.0
[Epic 4G General] abrcrmdl23:
So i need a little help. I was playing with the new genocide kernal but i run bonsai 4.0. It kept locking up on me so i reflashed bonsai everything is working fine but my g sensor that control the screen rotation is now somehow broken. It will not rotate or pick up any movement at all. I wiped and reflashed a couple of times and ran the emulator fix but it tells me that it fails every time. Does anyone have any ideas beside a flash back with odin and reflash because i really dont want to have to do that again. Any hep or ideas would be appreciated. Thanks
[Xperia Play General] marvi0:
am getting a bit concerned, only got 250mb, of ram left, and have only installed a few apps. Am just worried what will happen, when i download more apps, since most apps, despite being able to save them on the memory card willl still have to use the ram.?
[Xperia Play General] matknny:
I have 7 screens in the main menu full of games now on my Xperia Play. And have 149MB free space. Use the SD card for apps, thats why it came with a 16GB card. If you need to move your apps to make space go to "settings" then "applications" then "manage applications" then on the top "On SD card". Any that are not ticked can be moved to SD card to make room.

Regards,

Matthew
[Xperia Play General] marvi0:
Thanks but this is what i mean you are already left with 150 mb so really this should be bad news. How many games have you got if you please don't do not mind me asking?.
[Xperia Play General] Zub7:
how do you add/remove homescreens? i am only using one at the moment and really want to get rid of the blank ones!!
[Xperia Play General] matknny:
39 games on my xperia play. You think this is low then you should know it was allot lower on my other phones especially my nexus one. This things a god send. Also bare in mine I have tango installed which takes 50mb almost.
[Xperia Play General] matknny:
You unfortunately can't. But it takes no processes extra so don't worry. You can remove on some custom roms but they haven't started on them yet, although CM will be on it me thinks maybe when this thing gets rooted.
[Xperia Play General] Zub7:
Ahh I see, thanks.
[Xperia Play General] MJ_QaT:
100 mb of ram is even enough, don't see why you need more?
[Xperia Play General] matknny:
Must admit this is very true.
[Xperia Play General] marvi0:
Thanks for the replies was just worried cause I kinda prefer loading a lot of Apps and games andand two months down the line i don't want to find out i have loads of memory on my memory card but unable to add any more apps or games.
[Xperia Play General] MJ_QaT:
Hmm, when you say "loading a lot of apps and games" do you mean running two games at once?

Downloading doesn't have to do with Ram availability. You can download everything as long as you have free space in your memory card .... But running them all is not a good idea even if you have 1gb free ram
[Xperia Play General] johnsongrantr:
this isn't windows mobile you guys... windows mobile stored applications in ram, and most winmo devices need a hud battery (hold-up battery) to maintain that application store when the main battery died. ANYWAY...

ram does not equal app storeage on android. Your apps can be downloaded to nand or sd card...

the xperia play has like 1GB nand/flash for the OS and data partition, plus apps2sd gives you virtually limitless app storeage. That is in the addition to the 400mb of RAM. Remember RAM and NAND/FLASH are 2 completely separate things. Volitile and non-volitile. RAM needs constant flow of power to retain information, NAND does not.

the 400mb of ram is useable at all times regardless of the quanity of applications installed, it's only effected by current running apps, and even with only 100-200mb free ram... that's plenty of any program you want to run, the memory management in android will assure that the active running app will have adaquate resources to run the app you are wanting to run, it silently closes inactive apps in the background to make most efficent use of that 400mb

sorry for breaking it down like barney, but it appears it was needed from the question and the responces that some people maybe didn't understand the question or situation exactly.
[Xperia Play General] MJ_QaT:
Lol, it's not a good idea to generalize your post like that, it's really insulting to talk to us like we don't know the difference between a Ram and Nand/Flash Rom

My understanding of the question as is 400mb Ram enough or not? Hence my answer is yes, having 100 mb free ram space is more than enough
[Xperia Play General] johnsongrantr:
I wasn't meaning it to be insulting and it's hard to tell where people are at on the technical level, but as a first time android person, and in sometimes first time smartphone person things can be a little confusing.

I just wanted to make sure the foundation was good in case there was any confusion.

Like I said I didn't mean it to be insulting, I'm honestly trying to help.
[Xperia Play General] Zub7:
is'nt it really 512mb ram? but i think the system holds off a certain amount to run the OS or something so we're kinda left with 400mb. that said i think the real thing here is WE are'nt left with anything as WE dont do anything with the 400mb, the OS uses as it pleases depending on how many apps are running, surely? but i think johnsongrantr put it well....
[Xperia Play General] johnsongrantr:
yea I have no idea how they got 400, base 2 doesn't land on 400. Maybe 256 + 128 chips and they rounded to 400? No clue, I'd be curious to find that out myself.

I bet that ~112mb is probably shared video memory or something stupid like that. Everywhere I read has said 400mb though.

EDIT: it's 512, with 112 reserved for something that is not identified. Check the first couple paragraphs.

[Xperia Play General] Tornlogic:
A lot of people here seem a little confused on what the Xperia Play has in terms of memory. I'll do my best to explain this without insulting anyones intelligence.

So the Xperia Play has 1GB of app storage which is basically the equivalent of hard drive space that a PC would have. This is used in conjunction with the SD card to store apps. It's also the same memory used for the OS. So it has 1gb of this memory, but ONLY 400mb is usable because most of it is used by the OS and bloatware.

So where the Xperia Play had 1gb, the DroidX has 8gbs. So really the Play has crap for storage.

Then on top of that the Xperia Play has 512mb of Ram. Everyone knows what that is, so I wont explain that. But this really isn't different from most high end Android phones.
[Xperia Play General] se_dude:
@tornlogic- The Xperia play has dual channel RAM which is first in class and provides 2x performance boost to normal ram. Its the quality that matters, not the quantity.
[Xperia Play General] Tornlogic:
This is where people are confused. I said that the Xperia Play has 512mb of Ram which is what most highend Android phones have. And that's great! I mean the Bionic will have a gig, but who cares? So why would you tell me quality matters not quantity when I said that 512mb is fine and dandy?

Its the 400mb of user storage, which is NOT dual channel I have a problem with.

Think of the 400mb storage as the phone's hard drive. You can throw the sd card in the trash, and the phone will work just fine. You can still dl apps, save photo, documents and whatever your little heart desires without an SD card. Its all stored on the 400mb of space Sony thinks is a lot, but actually isn't.

Again, my DX has 8gb of storage. The Sony has 400mb. Both phones have 512mb of RAM, with the Sony having dual channel RAM, NOT dual channel storage. Clear?
[Xperia Play General] johnsongrantr:
Lol, see now I was the one confused, I have seen the 400mb number quoted as the ram on many websites, I think even engadget. But that makes much more sense now that it's 400mb free NAND after the system image. Something wasn't matching up right with the numbers.

Thanks for the info about the dual channel ram, I didnt know that either.
[Xperia Play General] svenk919:
Any sources on the dual channel ram?

400MB rom is enough for me, I'm glad I don't have to pay more since I already have a high speeds micro-SD (officially class 10 but if the class existed it would be more like class 18 :p).
[Xperia Play General] Tornlogic:
Google it. Its all over the place. Its a function of the Snapdragon/Adreno chipset.
[Xperia Play General] se_dude:
The dual channel rom isnt officially supported by Snap/Adreno. It was officially ported to work with the play. Other phones having the same combo dont have it.
[Xperia Play General] Tornlogic:
Oh okay, I didn't know that. I thought from reading the news it was a chipset feature. Thanks for the clarification.
[Xperia Play General] marvi0:
Thanks guys for all info am now left with about 115mb and sadly am not as techie as you guys maybe i should explain more cause av been downloading a lot of games of late as i spend a week at home then 3 weeks out at work which means i have to download and load up as much as i can prior to my departure (thanks to vodafone, closing up the unlimited data), so can only use wifi, for a week . Now since Friday i have been downloading apps and games and then going into manage apps and transferring those apps and games that are transferable to the sd card. However sadly some games i download or apps cannot be moved to the sd card, and today, i bought some games on the sony play thingy, and the games which if i remember are the free asphalt, and one more free game, on the Sony portal, and this has brought me down to 95mb, plus all the other games i have from the android market. Now on that Sony portal theirs about 60 games and looking at my 95 mb now this is my concern , will this be enough, since some of these games cannot be moved to sd card?. Or maybe yes i will still be able to download as long as i have space on my sd card?. Because if a few more games go on the ram, i think am stuffed. Hope what am asking makes sense please.
[Xperia Play General] Zub7:
i think by default the big games are designed so that you just download the initial application to your internal storage, but when you run the game for the first time it will start downloading the actual game data files, which, usually, go onto your memory card.
[Xperia Play General] marvi0:
i hope so cause at the rate am going all be doomed.
[Xperia Play General] Zub7:
well most games have been like that for me so...
[Xperia Play General] marvi0:
how many games you got?
[Xperia Play General] Zub7:
well since i'ce got the phone i've downloaded and installed asphalt 6, battle bears, dungeon defenders, and more. all are large heavy games, i think asphalt was like 600mb+!!! but all the game data from all these games are actually stored on the SD card. heck even all the pre-installed games have their data files on the SD card.
[Xperia Play General] svenk919:
asphalt wants to download a lot of data with me to, But I got no wifi here and it demands wifi...

More then enough data to instantly fill your rom though :p
[Xperia Play General] DeadlyDazza:
I'm also starting to worry here.

Yesterday I came from a rooted GSM Hero, 8gb stick with a 250mb partition (700mb left on the stick). All the apps I wanted and plenty space for more (let's face it, I could've formatted the stick with a bigger partition anytime).

Today, I am typing this on my Play and the status is this: All of the media transferred over to my new 16gb card that came boxed with the play. 90% of the apps I had on the Hero reinstalled to the play (- some junk !) Anything internal that could be moved physically, via app storage, has been moved to SD.

6 games installed NOT Play optimized (Angry birds etc). 9 games installed PLAYOPTIMIZED. 1 PSX game.

SD card: 8.6gbused - 6.2gbfree. Internal storage: 256mb used - 124mb free.

Looks like I'm going to be spending a lot of time uninstalling stuff that I actually want or games I have bought & intended to keep.
[Xperia Play General] svenk919:
You could go to a 32GB sd card.
[Xperia Play General] DeadlyDazza:
I don't think you get it.

Even though the lions share of your install goes to the SD card a portion still goes to the paultry internal memory. ie Asphault uses near 30mb on the int memory before downloading the rest to the SD card.

That 30mb on the int cannot be moved to SD.
[Xperia Play General] marvi0:
this is what av alwys said, i now have only 55mb left, and now having to use astro file manager to backup and reinstall apps, you might want to have a short at that, untill maybe we have some custom roms. Do custom roms solve the problem though, adding more ram?
[Xperia Play General] rushless:
The storage issue is the flash and not ram. The X Play has a 1gb chip of which part is taken up by the firmware, stocks apps and format parameters. The net balance is less than 400mb. Apps2sd will buy you some time, but for me, I already have nearly 500mb on my Incredible and use apps2sd.

If you all recall, this device was supposed to release almost 18 months ago, but the PSP Go was released instead. Back then, such low storage space did not seem that bad, but now it is. Sony updated the chipset, but apparently left everything else intact.

If you are an old school gamer, but do not mess much with Android apps, this device would be great. App fans are best to avoid the X Play. A custom rom may yield 100 more megs, but the firmware and Sony apps still need to be on the 1gb flash chip- along with the device storage space.

In spite of the storage space issue making the X Play not practical for some folks, the X Play should become HUGE for old school gamers. I predict there will be far more used later this year as a game system, rather than a smartphone.

I will search for one later this year myself for about $200 :) This device will be like a Dingoo on mega-steroids.
[Xperia Play General] rushless:
Spongebob fan :)

Had this device released when it was supposed to, it probably would have been a huge seller. Instead Sony chose the PSP Go..... Jeepers.
[Xperia Play General] FrAsErTaG:
Just wait in a few of weeks there will be root, then custom roms and then Apps2sd. once apps2sd are happening, who cares the internal memory? and apps2sd in most cases (class 4+) will work better then off internal memory.
[Xperia Play General] DeadlyDazza:
Well, I managed to get setinstalllocation2 to work.

I've gone from 70mb int left to 140mb, and now all my installs go on to the SD. So I'm more than happy.

Why didn't SE enable this out of the box?

They want people to buy their games but give us so little memory.

Just doesn't make sense.
[Xperia Play General] hykhleif:
well after instaling about 160 apps my internal storage is left with only 50mb of memory that is not cool, were most apps are small in size. On my iphone with 32 Gb i had about 500 apps.

Is this a limiting factor that i did not put in my consideration, as I had in my intention to install many gameloft games but now I can't

i use app2sd but some install apps won't get moved to the storage card.

Please help, will rooting once available help in that
[Xperia Play General] waz000000:
Your not really using aps2sd your simply moving aps that support it over to the SD card, once we have root we can fully move things to SD and utilize the SD card format to include swap space etc.
[Xperia Play General] DeadlyDazza:
Used adb shell pm SetInstallLocation b and now everything's going to SD.

Do have to move apps that use widgets back to the internal memory though.
[Xperia Play General] marvi0:
Reading that thread it states you need root to install Setinstallocation?
[Xperia Play General] svenk919:
No, you have to do it via adb from your computer with the android-sdk when your phone is in debugging mode. Then you don't need root.
[Xperia Play General] marvi0:
Thanks very much unfortunately am not very technically minded but always willing to try, is their a guide i could possibly follow to get this adb thingy to install this app please?
[Xperia Play General] DeadlyDazza:
Yes, have a look here.

Just to give you an idea on internal storage, heres how my xperia play is set atm:

Ok Heres what i got installed on the Xperia Play:

16 games installed NOT Play optimized (Angry birds etc).

25 games installed PLAY OPTIMIZED including 6 gameloft games that cant use app2sd (i think my gameloft games take up aout 80 meg of internal memory).

8 PSX games (2 from market and 6 of my own from ripped collection).

8 N64 Games

15 megadrive games

21 Snes Games

20 arcade games

25 none gaming apps downloaded from the market not including preinstalled apps.

SD card: 10.11gb used - 4.99gb free.

to give you an idea on whats used on the sd card:

3.6gb in roms

2.23gb in gameloft data

2 gb in other game data

500mb in music, 100 meg in pics

etc

Internal storage: 330mb used - 50mb free.

obviously the skys the limit for adding roms being a hardcore gamer/retro gamer i could easily add say another 500 snes games and megadrive games if i wanted to without taking up internal storage, way way more when i get my 32gb micro sd.
[Xperia Play General] hykhleif:
Hey guys after using the adb method to move apps to sd card I noticed that updating apps does not work for the apps that got moved to the as card

Any adivse or help, and an explanation of what to do is appreciated
[Xperia Play General] DeadlyDazza:
Hmm, that's very strange, I've not run into that problem.

Maybe you could try shifting back to phone memory just to update the app, then shifting back to SD.
[Xperia Play General] :
Must admit. No shortage of ram here. Somethings not right with the example above.

Did you try turning off all Bluetooth services and then turning each one on, one at a time? I did this, and pinpointed this problem to the PandoraLink service that was offered by my Atrix. That service is meant to be used for Pandora Internet Radio between the Android phone and any automotive audio system with PandoraLink, not for Windows computers.
[Atrix 4G General] ryaske:
thanks for that info geopgeop! I do have pandora installed on my atrix.

Could you provide a few quick poitners on how you enable/disable bluetooth services? I know one screen where I can choose between audio and phone services .. but on that screen I dont have any pandoralink.

I wonder if uninstalling the pandora app will rid me of the pandoralink bluetooth service for testing?
