[Nook Color General] reaper12:
Hi All,

Just joined the forums today after a few weeks browsing. I must say I am very impressed with the level of knowledge here and how helpful people are to others, especially noobs like me :)

Anyway, I got a nook color, but I am in Ireland, so I can't register it, that didn't worry me too much, because I wanted to root it, and after much reading on these forums I decided to use CM7.

My build at the moment is as follows, built with Clockwork,

CM7 RC4,

Dalingrins's OC kernel emmc 0413A,

Alsa 041411

First thanks to all the people who made the mods/ kernels etc Your work is really appreciated :) I am loving the nook color now with the mods.

I just have a few very basic questions, lol and I am still getting to grips with the right terminology :D

1. Does it matter which way I install mods/kernels etc? I understood that you had to install the CM7 mod first, but, for Dalingrin's OC kernel and Alsa, I installed the kernel first than Alsa, or does it matter?

2. If a new kernel comes out, or an update to Alsa, do I have to uninstall the old one? Or can I just boot into recovery mode wipe the caches and install the updates?

3. Same question for the CM7 mod, If I want to try some of the nightlies, can I just put the nightly on an SD card, wipe caches and install it the same way I did the RC4 version? will I have to reinstall the other kernels if I do this?

4. What happens my data and apps if I do update CM7?

5. I made a backup on the SD card using clockwork. Is this just a backup of the system files? or is it a backup of data and apps as well?

6. I am trying to learn more about this, in performance settings there is a thing called VM heapsize. Is there a recommended value for this?

7. And in the CPU settings there are a number of options available under "available governors" what are govenors? and which one is best? Is there an explaination available for each one?

That's all the questions I have for now. Very sorry if these have been answered a million times already!!
[Nook Color General] bigbob23:
Although I haven't installed Alsa, I doubt that the order matters.

You should be able to upgrade with CWR. I have CM7 on a SD card and just add the new kernel and boot into recovery mode.

Since the nightly has its own kernel, you will need to reinstall the OC kernel.

They shouldn't be affected.

I'll leave your other questions to someone else, since I haven't dealt with these issues.
[Nook Color General] reaper12:
thanks for tthe reply Bob.

Can anyone add anything for the last few questions?

Hello, all

google maps 5.x is very useful and powerful, the map file is also very small.

but the biggest things is that there no anywhere to download the offline map.

Any knows how to easily get the offline map? except browsing the google maps manully and get the cache.

[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] PGleo86:
It's not going to work because of differences in the bands of the network. That's also why we can't run the Evo 3D on Verizon

As far as I know QPST should work with android. For getting your MSL a quick search on Google turned up this: http://androidforums.com/samsung-moment/14852-getting-your-msl-without-calling-sprint.html You will also need the DMU keys, Verizon's most current PRL, and possible a rom modified for Verizon.

I flashed a new sbf but forgot to wipe cache and data.

When i tried to start-up my phone, the boot animation kept repeating.

Also when i tried recharging, there was an "?".

Tried to wipe afterwards in stock recovery but i couldn't push the corner.

Found it:

Go in stock recovery (power+vol down). When warning sign appears press one of the buttom corner or if it dusn't work (my case) press both volume keys at the same time. Do both cache and data wipe.

Next go into bootloader (pull battery and put it back in while volume up or press power + vol up) and flash your sbf using RSD lite.

I was deleting all the bloat that comes with the phone and I accidentally deleted the web browser (Web 2.2 I believe?) Anyways, can someone upload the .apk for it real quick so I can get mine back?

EDIT: Nevermind, flashed the stock ROM without the bloat and I got it back. Mods, please close/delete.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GRRINGO:
Okey so basically my problem is that when I boot my SGS the notification bar force closes right after I've entered my pin-code. This problem appeared after updating the firmware to 2.3.3 through Kies. I've also rooted the phone (CF root).

Thanks for the help in advance :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PAGOT:
How did you upgrade and what did you do? By any accident you didnt apply a theme right? Just stock with wipe and cf root. Nothing more. No old settings or backups?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlexVat:
You must do a factory reset from the Settings menu and your problem will be solved. Make sure you back up your personal data ;)

Cheers !!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GRRINGO:
Thanks for help! I did factory reset with CWM and now working like charm.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] night_reader:
I got the JVB installer from samfirmware.com and followed the step to install from that website. After install, it just fine. Then, I applied the CF-root to restore titanium backup. Just restore user apps with data. Also successed.

But after reboot, I got this error:

So, i don't have statusbar after closed the alert message.

Then reflash back to stock JVB. Look like fine. Reboot and apply CF-root. Again... I got the status bar force close. Reflash back to stock JVB and then after reboot, I got it again.

Now..back to Froyo XWJS8 and criskelo. What your advice so that I can get the JVB gingerbread running fine and I can restore my titanium backup?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PAGOT:
Well, only one advice actually. Dont restore apps from froyo on GB. Or at least not all of them?

Maybe do 10, reboot. Fine, next batch etc. You might find the culprit that way I guess.

maybe you should try Odin(better with those firmwares with partition included?), but how come yours can't be charged?But no worries, you can send it to Samsung service to unbrick your SGS or try the homemade JIG

Title says it all... whats the difference?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] franciscojavierleon:
theme are just visual changes. colors, icons and such.

roms are mostly internal changes that may or may not be visible. for example, deodexing, rooting. they may pack themes inside as well.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maledyris:
ROM refers to read only memory. Its the software that actually runs your phone.sometimes its called firmware. Rooting means to get administrative permissions on your device. Deodex means to unpack your phones resources from the odex format so they're easier to modify.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raybond25:
however, ROMs for the Atrix at this point are basically just rooting, deodexing, theming, and sometimes a couple mods all tossed together in one easy installation script.

outside of that all they do is disable some bloatware, really.

First, I strictly followed by this post

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=940095

Here's what I did,

1. Rebooted into recovery using 3-button-combo and applied galaxys-efsbackup.zip

2. flashed cm7-galaxys-initial-kernel as pda using odin without auto-reboot and without re-partition

3. unplugged the battery and then got into recovery by using 3-button-combo

4. Choose "mounts & storage"

Then I was stuck right there, I only saw a screen with a little hat, and nothing happened then.

Then I repeated step 2-4, still nothing.

Looks like CMR v3.0.0.5 didn't work

I tried to select other options, all I got was a "little hat" screen, what did I miss?

There was a statement like "E:no misc partition"

What should I do to get my cell worked back?

Thanks.

I have a Desire with Oxygen 2.1.4 and when trying to update to 2.1.5, I got this error.

Reading through your posts and watching videos on YouTube, tried 2 methods of flashing Amon Ra over ClockworkMod to fix the Status 7 error:

1. With ClockworkMod Rom manager app, which grayed out the alternate recovery field in the app and did not allow, and

2. With the android emulator app which did not found the flash_image command

Is there an another SAFE way to flash Amon Ra Recovery 2.0.0 over ClockworkMod recovery?

Is it necessary to move dalvik cache to sd? If it is, what should i do to it with terminal emulator? Or should i delete them in the custom recovery?

Im very active in downloading apps and games and i realized my phone memory is decreasing eventhough my app2sd space is 300+ left.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] vlad_bragoi:
it isn't necessary but it is reccomended :)

this option is available in all Rom because it helps to save memory...
[Optimus One, P500, V General] victortangocharlie:
if you have a2sd in your rom, acquire root shell '#' in terminal emulator by typing 'su' and pressing enter. then enter the command 'a2sd cachesd' without quotes. reboot phone afterwards.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] shotgun32:
Thanks... but what if i move it to sd card, my sd card will keep decreasing too right due to the dalvik cache added. What happen if finally my sd card turns to 0mb due to full of dalvik cache saved and moved to sd card?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] shotgun32:
Hey i have tried do what u said in the terminal emulator im not pretty good with this app so i type app2sd cachesd then i press enter. Then it says permission denied and literally all my apps keep force close and i have to reboot. It tooks a while than the usual then it finally boot up. Then i checked in settings, my phone memory increasing only 2mb?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] shotgun32:
Lol i typed 'app2d' no wonder it went wrong. So i try it again but this no mistake and then it said darktremor bla bla bla then my phone reboot. Then i checked in my settings my phone memory are still the same like before??!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] marioemp2k7:
There is no way you will get to have no space on the EXTx(2,3 or 4) partition. I have moved everything on the SDCard (class 6) and it didn't even get to 100MB used (from 512MB). Anyway, I can't imagine aynbody installing 300-400 apps on the phone.

So in any case I would recommend to put everything on the SDCard (class6 or higher is recommended).

After you flash the A2SD darktremor scripts from whatever custom recovery you have I would recommend to do:

1. adb shell

2. su

3. a2sd cachesdreset -->the phone will reboot

1. and 2. again after reboot

4. a2sd datasd -->the phone will reboot

You should be fine afterwards.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] shotgun32:
Hey i have done what you said in the terminal emulator. The command a2sd cachereset and a2sd datasd. But after my phone reboots i checked again in settings that my phone memory are sill the same like before??? And the Low On Space message are still appearing in m notification bar. Wtf??!!
