As much as I love AOSP Android I think the extra features that HTC is including in Sense will make it worth keeping it stock (or at least close to it). I hate how long it takes to take a picture on my Heroc.
[Sable] bk9sw:
Dear all,

I have an HP iPAQ 6915 (UK Version) but the keyboard of my phone has been replaced by a 6925 keyboard layout so whenever I press (FN) + letter key, the character is not fixed with which appear on the button layout. Ex: FN + Q = ~ instead of "!" on the button. So I think I should change the rom to 6925 (US Version), it may fix my keyboard problem. If anyone has this rom, plz post it here or simply give me the download link. :)

Many thanks!
[Sable] Spiaatie:
I have hw6945 and hw6955 WM5.0 ROMs, but I don't know if they have right keyboard layout.

:)
[Sable] bk9sw:
you can check your device and your ROM, for example: character Q and ! in the same key so it's HP iPAQ 6925, if character Q and ~ in the same key so it's HP iPAQ 6915, 45 or 55

[G Tablet Themes and Apps] tvu815:
Scrollable News widget is great for RSS feeds. You do need a launcher that supports scrollable widget, such as LP or ADW
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] DevDuck:
I use WeatherBug on my phone and love it but it FCs on my gtab. Instead I use The Weather Channel's widget, it works well and with the largest version it shows plenty of information.

For my RSS needs I'm currently using Google Reader but am not always happy with it. I wish Reddit is fun had a widget.

I also use the stock Power widget.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] TarheelGrad1998:

[G Tablet Themes and Apps] irishrally:
It's VT Launcher and I used the LauncherProIcons app to get the LP style icons, and bettercut to apply them. The rest is CM7 with the honeycomb status icons addition.

Widget failed to load

How many widget users have the issue of a widget failing to load after a few days, the only solution being dump the widget and reload it.

Not a big issue, just wondering if it is a launcherPro issue (my default) or a modded gtab issue. LauncherPro native widgets seem to do better.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] MechAniX.one:
Hi manikin13,

I havent really had issues unless Im messing around with the settings on my launcher. Im using VTL.Launcher and when i changed the dock background settings some widgets went squirrley. I would say its your launcher. Maybe uninstall and reinstall might fix it.

Can i get the link to the Prince of Persia HD manufacturer homepage? If you mean Gameloft Prince of Persia HD, its only for HD resolution, hence the HD at the end of the name, thus not for HD MINI as it obviously doesnt have HD resolution.

I have windows 7 and cant use Kies or Kies mini to update my vibrant. I have tried everything and it just wont work. I dont have a older computer either, so switching to a computer with vista or xp wont work. Is there any other way to get the update, or am i just screwed?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drewdude007:
Just root your phone then download rom manager from the market. Then you can flash a custom 2.2 rom which are far better than the stock 2.2 rom.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsLYNDZ:
Im really not interested in rooting my phone.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] movieaddict:
u could partition part of ur hd and put win xp on it. then do mini kies from there because i think thats ur only option besides rooting. Because i tried it on win 7 and it didnt work for me but it worked perfectly on win xp.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsLYNDZ:
I shouldnt have to partition part of my hd and put win xp on it. why didnt tmobile just send out the update thru text message. Now ill probably never get the update.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dan0zone:
Search for the KA6 odin(KA6 is the official tmobile update) package here in xda vibrant section ... then search for odin, its a program to flash the update to your phone, no root needed .... there are rooted and non-rooted version of KA6, so the choice is yours ...

Enjoy 2.2 ...

FYI ..... this process will wipe all your data ... except for what's on your sd cards .... this was the main reason tmobile didn't send it out as an OTA ... kies will install the update without a data wipe, but then you will experience a lot of instability, which will only be fixed with a factory reset ... full data wipe .. so back up your data ... search the market for apps to do this ...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesd86:
How to w/o root

Here's how to do it w/o root and w/o Kies:

Download this/and this. Put on internal SD card.

Reboot into recovery, reinstall packages..might have to do this twice.

Flash via recovery, delete superuser.apk(this unroots phone.) This will wipe phone but you'll have stock KA6 from it.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buru898:
Why not? I'm curious to know what's so bad about rooting? It's exactly like you buying a computer and always using the guest account. Rooting is like being able to log in with the administrator account.

[Nook Color General] xdabr:
I'm just getting started with CM7 and the Nook Color, but I have some general security concerns that perhaps you could help me with?

1. Viruses. I understand that these are real in Android. I've temporarily disabled non-Market apps, but I believe viruses and/or spyware have shown up in Market Apps too. Are there decent AntiVirus apps and what do you recommend?

2. Firewall. What services are open by default? Are there good software firewalls available?

3. Adware. Is it always clear which Market apps are ad-supported? Have apps crossed the line into malicious or near-malicious spyware? (Taking over browsers, redirecting home pages or searches, infecting other apps, etc.)

4. Apparently Google does not require password-confirmation for Market purchases, and no real solution exists, since available apps complicate things and don't address the root issue. Do they have any plans to change that?

5. Where are application and web site passwords, WiFi keys, and the like stored, and are they encrypted?

6. Is there a multi-user / multi-profile facility to allow different users to log in to different desktops and/or applications? (Or is that best accomplished with dual booting.)

7. What major applications are known to "phone home" or otherwise divulge more information than might be expected? I was quite surprised that CM7 itself phones home to CyanogenMod by default, and even with that turned off the ROM Manager still reports usage statistics to Google?

8. Is anyone independently reviewing CyanogenMod itself for privacy and security implications? Right now many of us are relying on a hodgepodge of hacker contributions and the good will of those creating them. I'm sure that anything malicious would eventually come to light, but is anyone proactively checking out the release CM7 distribution, the GApps distribution, and the various installers and packagers? Right now the only verifiable "web of trust" that seems to exist is the good intentions of every contributor, and the general availability of the source code (which should make the review possible, if not particularly easy!).

9. Are there any "best practices" as a user? For example, I've set up a new GMail ID for use with the NC, and haven't yet linked any credit card or payment data. Meanwhile, for the B&N side I've had to submit a credit card number to get access to their market (even to get their "Free" offerings).

10. Any implications for configuring e-mail and/or contacts, etc.? Mass remailing trojans certainly exist on the Windows side.

11. Do the application specific permission settings compare favorably to those of the BlackBerry, and are they easily adjustable after you've already granted permissions to an app?

12. Is there any concept of sandboxing a new app to prevent it from possibly adversely affecting other applications or files?

13. Is there a best practice for how to manage files on both the eMMC and SD card storage, particularly when booting between the two? Can one be locked out from the other?

Okay, that's a baker's dozen. I'll stop now. :)

Thanks much for any input.
[Nook Color General] xdabr:
Really? Nobody has an opinion to share on this? :(
[Nook Color General] colbur87:
rooting /cm7 / and the purpose behind it may just not be for you. I don't think your going to get an answer your looking for. Also not trying to be rude, but you pretty much wrote a book in your first post. Just ask a question dude.
[Nook Color General] xdabr:
Thanks for the response, but I asked roughly 13 questions -- would you prefer I "just asked a question" by starting 13 different threads? I certainly wouldn't.

And your first sentence makes it sound as if there's no one here who gives a damn about their own data and that everyone views the Nook Color as a toy -- and I seriously doubt that. :)
[Nook Color General] Divine_Madcat:
I have to admit, you come off as rather paranoid, and i am not sure why you are so.

Yes, there have been a couple of problem apps recently, but Google took care of them, and i would not worry. The best security you can have, is looking at what you are installing. The application cannot hide what permissions it needs, so if you have something asking for way more than you think it should need, take that as your first red flag.

Currently, Virus Scans on Android are a joke, and simply unneeded. Don't even waste you time. Firewalls are just about the same, and again, not worth the effort. One thing to keep in mind, that this is a linux system, and is not as prone to the Windows based attacks that you are used to. Things like email spam bots and such are not a problem.

As for Cyannogen - no code is added to the repository without being peer reviewed; and every code submission is available in public records. Frankly, they did not make it to CM7 by stealing people's data, nor is it simply a hodge podge of devs.

Frankly, I think right now more research is in order for ya. Most of what you ask is already discussed in many places, or is never discussed, because it simply isn't a worry...
[Nook Color General] xdabr:
Thank you, Divine_Madcat, for the advice and explanation. By hodgepodge I was more referring to the multiple installer methods and packages that newbies like me are relying upon to get everything installed easily. There are a lot of them, from a lot of nice people, from preconfigured SD card images to installation methods with modified boot loaders to interface and performance hacks. Even if Cyanogen itself is well maintained it would be pretty easy for someone to include a little trojan in one of those third-party "distributions".

It's not exactly paranoia, I've just seen this happen so often. Trojan horses are certainly not limited to Windows. Worms and other compromises have affected thousands of Unix and Linux machines in the past. Web sites and PHP and Perl scripts and databases and web frameworks regularly see vulnerabilities discovered and/or exploited. So since this device will be used in part by children with access to my credit card, I wanted to know what we're dealing with. :)

No, I was not familiar with Cyanogen's review practice (which is one reason I asked), so thanks for that reassurance! I will try to learn more as I go.

I do apologize for the length of the OP though -- I was trying to brainstorm and get everything down in one place that related to possible security concerns. It's not as if I'm worried sick about every little point. :)
[Nook Color General] miniaturepeddler:
One of the apps I install on all my installs is 'Lookout'. This app scans all my programs I install and update and I have heard very good reviews of it.

I did see that Eric Lundcrest did an article today:

http://web.eweek.com/t?r=2&c=38783&l=64&ctl=11B388:D43F5D4C728CF30E9F23F9E91BB51617&

You can check them out. I haven't tried them all myself and I noticed that he didn't include the app that I recommended above (and I use it on both my Nook and my HTC EVO)
[Nook Color General] docfreed:
You Should Also be Aware..

that one of the joys of Android (and of course Unix/Linux) is that everything is "sandboxed" unlike Windoze - there are not many apps that interfere with others - that's why it's so easy to install and uninstall from Android. Compare the uninstalling of even a large Android app with that of uninstalling from Windows.

I would not worry about interfering apps
[Nook Color General] xdabr:
Thanks, doc. I'm moderately familiar with the Unix security model, but not so much with Android. Is sandboxing really accurate? In Linux processes run with particular user rights, much as in Windows but more flexible -- that is, it's just much more common to have different daemons running as different users. Still, I don't think they're really isolated from one another as they might be with a "chroot jails" kind of function...
[Nook Color General] Nanan00:
I don't think electronics are for you, I suggest books and a cabin in the woods.

No virus really exist yet, a few flaws in the code have been found but they are patched quick.

No real firewall, doesn't work quit that way with android.

Yes, it will say in the permissions of the app in the market.

You sign into the market when you first use it, making sure your devise has a lockscreen PW is how you keep it safe.

/data

no

Some apps phone home, check permissions before you install.

All CM code can be seen in the github, you can compile it yourself if you wish.

Use smart internet credit card practices such as only attaching a low limit card to accounts etc.

If the google email server was hacked maybe but all that stuff is stored encrypted on googles end.

Permissions need to be approved of by you if they change.

Android sandboxes all apps.

Dono, I have CM7 on internal and books etc stored on the SD card.
[Nook Color General] xdabr:
Nanan00, your actual answers were great, but "I don't think electronics are for you, I suggest books and a cabin in the woods." and the similar dismissive post above are exactly the kind of BS condescension that gives some open source communities a bad name. Stop it. Little by little it devalues the entire community and its projects.

Thanks for the substance of your response.
[Nook Color General] Gin1212:
Truthfully... My parents practice pretty much all of the stuff you have said, they're very careful with credit cards and anything that could be used as personal information.

And yet... Someone got ahold of their credit card numbers and bought something for almost 3k last year...

I have no virus software or even firewall software on this computer, it has not received a virus in over 5 years (I know... it needs an upgrade) and I'm running Windows XP SP2.

If you're prone to viruses then go ahead and install some antivirus software. If you're scared about your kids + your credit card + the nook, then have them make all transactions on the computer.

The reason no one is taking this seriously is because Android is to new for there really to be anything worthwhile on the market. People are just now learning how to develop and code for it. So there aren't a bajillion(give or take one or two) viruses or trojans running around the google market.

On top of that, so long as your legally buying your apps from the google market, you have even less to worry about. As google has shown in the past that they'll go ahead and delete it the second they find it.

As far as permissions go, don't get to hung up on it. Everybody trust Pandora and yet it requires more permissions then some of googles own apps. =\
[Nook Color General] xdabr:
Thank you, Gin1212. I don't use an AntiVirus on my own Windows machines either -- it's more trouble than it's worth when you know what you're doing. (On Android I don't know what I'm doing, yet.)

And yeah, I already made sure to use a disposable credit card number ("ShopSafe") with a limit when setting up the Nook for the young'un. Google Market, thankfully, doesn't require a credit card unless you buy something, so I'll be checking out the free apps for a while (so that's part of why I asked about adware/spyware).

I was approaching the thing as I would any new (to me) full fledged operating system and computer, fully aware it's not the "safe" and dictatorially controlled little world of iOS or, to some extent, BlackBerry OS.

So thanks for the real world advice!
