Gapps get run from System not Data, save for youtube which will work in both. Normal apps go into Data.

Edit: Also giving up on trying to get Newer Market to work, going to use the market posted earlier in this thread. Working out some other issues before I upload anything.

Double Edit: Also having issues installing apps via Root Explorer, seems a little odd, but browser installations seemed fine.
[Nook Color Android Development] iDidItAll4theNookie:
I downloaded Amazon market from the browser, opened it from downloads, and selected package installer. I also tried to download a file browser apk through the browser and it.did the same thing. Did something maybe go wrong when I rooted?
[Nook Color Android Development] RegLinUsr:
When attempting to install an .apk file, I get an 'Unsupported file format' error. What did I do incorrectly?
[Nook Color Android Development] GorillaPimp:
Maybe some of your changes are causing GV to die.

I'm gonna load the newer update and try your market file. Thanks for upping it
[Nook Color Android Development] dascud:
Yep. Downloads and installs work fine using that version of Vending.apk.

Unfortunately, all the changes I made kinda screwed up stuff and I have flashed the NC back to stock. I will need to go home and get root/adb before I can test it again.
[Nook Color Android Development] GorillaPimp:
Sounds like you're trying it through MyFiles in the Nook library rather than through browser downloads or another file explorer like Estrongs or Astro
[Nook Color Android Development] iDidItAll4theNookie:
Well, I tried starting over by going back to 1.0.1 and then upgrading, but alas, b&n's servers are overloaded, so I can't clear registration to get any further. I will have to wait to take a second crack.
[Nook Color Android Development] dascud:
Yea, have been facing the same issue since afternoon. Not sure if it is purely a registration issue or something has been screwed up in B&N database and I need to call it in. In any case there is a way to bypass the registration altogether. This is temporary solution till the registration is completed ow you wont have access to the B&N store etc.

When you get to the part where there is picture of Kate and something about video tutorial, hit the vol up button and touch the bottom left part of screen and then the bottom right. This will get you to factory mode. Click the factory button and there is button called skip OOBE (out of box experience). This will get you directly to the home screen bypassing registration.
[Nook Color Android Development] RegLinUsr:
Is it possible to simply download an app from the market vice installing it immediately? The Android Market seems to want to install everything to a 'device' but the Nook Color isn't on my account, only my phone is. I don't want the market sending the installs to my phone. I've not figured out a way to make the apps go to my NC.
[Nook Color Android Development] iDidItAll4theNookie:
I tried this, but I don't have an option for skip OOBE, just Power Off and Back. I didn't wipe Data when I restored, but I haven't needed to do that before.

stock BN reader working with root?

I do use the stock BN reader and also "shop" for books. Do those features work with HnC special? I know with 1.1, using Auto-nooter 3.0 did allow for these features to continue working.
[Nook Color Android Development] FredOak3:
F_guy

Yep you still have the stock B&N front end too
[Nook Color Android Development] FredOak3:
Ok went back to 1.1 upgraded to 1.2 then flashed H&C's zip.

More works now still a few apps that don't but boy did B&N screw things up!!!
[Nook Color Android Development] iDidItAll4theNookie:
Yeah, I'm back up and running again, too. I think I will wait to see how the autonooter development goes before I try again. Sounds like quite a bit of work has been done already. I'd love to just go full CM7, but I'm still holding out for true sleep mode.
[Nook Color Android Development] tech_head:
So I pulled all my apps before doing the upgrade and root with CWM.

Angry Birds along with a host of other apps won't install the normal way but they can be side loaded.

You also can't restore using TB.

K9 works along with Touchdown, Terminal Emulator...

I'll be trying out all my stuff.

I don't have live wallpapers up and running yet but most apps that I side load seem to work fine.
[Nook Color Android Development] RegLinUsr:
Attempting to install apps from B&N Shop but all I get is "Processing" and nothing beyond that right now. I seem to only be able to make it stop by rebooting.

For those us who hhave this working well if we use manual nooter can we just flash it over or must we start from scratch?

What is different from this currently?
[Nook Color Android Development] HamNCheese:
I'm looking into his install script to see... I'll post answers shortly.
[Nook Color Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
There's several apps installed in different locations than this one. Mine also makes modifications to /system/build.prop to fix some various issues along with giving it CM6's fingerprint for market. It also permanently enables ADB regardless of reboot/remount/etc.
[Nook Color Android Development] HamNCheese:
Yeah, I saw what you did there. Good work.

Isn't this one of those nagging issues with Autonooter 3?
[Nook Color Android Development] Canadoc:
Any chance you could make an undo script so we canrevert back awaiting new booted so as not to have duplicate apps etc.

Btw loved your work and it is mostly working perfect except market and some missing gaps since the install was manual.... Had trouble getting froyo mail working right from Nookie froyo for ex.
[Nook Color Android Development] HamNCheese:
It seems to work ok for me when installed over top of apk-enabler. If anything major comes up, I can release an "uninstaller" to clean up whatever is left over.
[Nook Color Android Development] Canadoc:
Thanks

Market with the older apk works for me and everything I have searched shows up so far.seem that manual nooter is having problems with things showing up.
[Nook Color Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
You can get Google Maps, Voice, Books? Or ezpdf? im+?
[Nook Color Android Development] HamNCheese:
Could you PM me the exact version and info for this version of the market? I'd like to see if I can get this working
[Nook Color Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
I used 1.82 linked earlier within this thread. Though if he has a broader market than what MN has then there's a chance that by restore build.prop or some elements to it to it's original state we might be able to fix this for others too.
[Nook Color Android Development] Canadoc:
Yes they all show up

You must have either not copied something over our maybe you modified the fingerprint.
[Nook Color Android Development] Canadoc:
Yes I use d the one available earlier in this thread
[Nook Color Android Development] dascud:
This was the version, I had posted yesterday and was working fine for me as well.

Unfortunately, I flashed back to stock and updated using Manual Nooter and Market is broken for me as well. Canadoc, can you post your build.prop.

Tks.
[Nook Color Android Development] Canadoc:
How do I do that?
[Nook Color Android Development] dascud:
just run from the terminal

adb pull /system/build.prop

and attach that file to your post here. You may have to rename it as build.prop.txt as only certain files types can be attached here.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] 903tex:
Im so confused on which one to get. I mean the SGS2 is a vibrant with 4g pretty much? And i dont know if the nexus s has 4g capability? I can get the sgs4 for 139. and the nexus s off best buy for 99. Really want to based this on development. So any info i would appericate it
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] phomuabay:
nexus is best your choice .
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] 903tex:
Can you give me a more detailed answer as in why? I mean i like the sgs4 cause i always liked the vibrant. But the nexus s does have development. The only thing that scares me is the Internal 16gb which will lead into corrupting if a bad flash is done!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] sl0play:
I recently had to make the same decision and had friends with both I borrowed for a week.

The nexus s is amazingly fast. It boots and shuts down in a fraction of the time. It has flash for the camera. It has gps that actually works right out of the box. It has a cooler design and a much more solid feel. It has the nfc that you will probably never use. It has premium support and google ota updates of the newest stuffs. The usb port also has a much nicer feel.

Video playback is poor compared to the vibrant.

It lacks support for most 3d games.

There is no sd card slot

No gorilla glass

I have owned several vibrants and everything that is true for them is true for the sgs4g. The screen is amazing and is protected by gorilla glass. Video playback is second to none. Games play like a dream.

Gps is essentially unusable on most handsets.

The case is cheap feeling and looking.

No flash for camera

I decided video playback and game support was more important than flash and gps but I am upset those are the best choices. You might be wise to just wait for the price to drop on the x2.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] 903tex:
Im coming from sprint. I had both evo and epic. The evo had great devs, while the epic has little to no support at all. CM7 and MIUI are still in alpha stages. I just dont want the sgs4 to be like the epic. I was looking at the lg gxs or whatever their having alot of issues on the first batch released(bleeding screen, phone wont connect to 3g) Mt4g(feels cheap though) sgs4 or nexus are the only ones i would consider getting.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] theMODEL22:
If I could go back in time I would choose the mt4g rooted with cm7, sgs4g has its benefits like said earlier except I don't use it for movies or gaming I bounce between apps often and fast and the sgs4g would sometimes lag.

So I bought the g2x and while it is wicked fast and extremely strong with already great support for development, the phone has its issues and chooses when the issues will come up, I would just go scan the general thread for the g2x real quick
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Ladylover31:
It seems to me, the SGS4G is slow to get developer support for ROMS and such. That is the only reason I regret owning one. However, after rooting and applying the FOTA fix, it is a cool phone.

From my understanding, phones like the Nexus will have tons of ROMS and customization because they are not tainted by integrations such as Samsung's Touch Wiz and are easier to work with.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Djveneko:
Sgs4g I like the video playback but thats just my opinion. Gps is pretty good for me and it is true no dev support on the sgs4g I mean not as much as other phonea so of you are looking to play around with the phone like changing roms and kernels stuff like that I wouldnt recommend unless you dont mind waiting which is my case I dont mind waiting so I dont have any complaints. One last thing it does lag here and there but is not that bad. Really cant say much about nexus s I havent even play with it. G2x was mentioned it is a beast pgone but I went to the g2x forums and there were a los of complaints with the screen you ahould go check it out. Best thing to do is just go to the forums of each device and read about it, comments and complaints and it would help a lot.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ssmokey727:
I think the sgs4g is the best device I've owned but thats after doing some system tweaks like getting root, freezing some apps, alter minfree to strict settings for better ram handling when swapping applications, changing the disk scheduler to deadline, doing the fota files fix and getting a class 6 micro sd card. After all that this phone has never lag or failed period. But out the box...is fast. Once u have used it for about a week or two thats when you could start seing lag by either apps you have downloaded and new services running in the background not counting the unnecesary ones that were already running when you first get it...gps works flawlesly and so does everything else, but thats after you hack the phone the way you want it...

Up to you though...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bl4ckpheniX:
The only reason the Nexus s is any faster is because it came stock with the ext4 file system. Our phones have the same file system as the Vibrant (rfs) It is not efficient, and that is where our lag is coming from.

We will start seeing some ROMS that will have ext4 built into them. When we do get this we will see quad scores around 1700-1800. To give you an idea our phones stock will score around 900. EXT4 ruffly doubles the speeds of the system. Now if you add ext4 with an overclocked kernel. The scores will be around if not higher than 2000.

This phone will be very fast and stable in not to long. :D
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] 903tex:
Thanks guys for the help. I went to go play with the following phones today:

g2x- Front looks really nice, and the display showed sharped for lcd. BUT my epic seems faster? and the back of the phone is FUGLY I mean the color, color........color lol! Reminds me of those cheap boost mobile off the wall colors. A case may solve that problem but i wouldnt pay 200 for it knowing how the back looked to me.

g2- Fast little thing, seen the potiental of it on xda, pretty much a better looking sprint htc evo shift 4G. BUT the demo hinge was BARELY on the phone. Soo going have to pass on that looks like a future problem.

mt4g- The best one of the group. Fast, comfortable in hand, light and Fast and xda support helps it there in my book. BUT its looks cheap. I mean how the color contrast clash on the phone. If i got one had to be either be the red one or white one.

sgs4- Some idiot STOLE THE DEMO! soooo i gotta go back tomorrow to look at it!!!

Nexus s- Actually locally a guy was selling one on CL. So i meet him to look at it. the screen is awesome of course cause of the superman screen lol! BUT the phone Looks cheaper than the mt4g!!!! I mean its all plastic and black gloss. Drop it and your gonna be hurting really bad. Also you have to deal with best buy and google since they sell it and tmobile just provides the service. I may sound anal but im a complex thinker and i always think ahead of myself.

Whole day of researching and im still confused and dont know which one to get lol!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] baykakes:
I'm a proud owner of a G2x... though some screens have bleeding issues.... mine doesn't... There are plenty of G2x's that are doing just fine, it's just easier to complain.... If you do have issues, you will have a 1 year warranty which means you will be able to switch it when new batches come out and by then issues should have been fixed... Whatever you do BUY THE PHONE IN STORE to test the device... Play with the settings and everything! If you are going to get a phone GET THE BEST there is to offer you and right now that would be the G2x...

SGS4G and Nexus S both have their flaws and are similar devices... The Nexus S isn't 4g capable (if that matters to you)... the SGS4G isn't anything to dazzle over and the Touch Wiz UI isn't my favorite... If you can wait a little longer it may be worth looking at the HTC Sensation...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] 903tex:
No offense but i dont see why people rave so much about the sensation. Its a dual core evo 4g. Had two evo 4g when i was with sprint.......Nothing special. Sure it will probably have a bunch of dev support. But to me its not something wanting on for.

But after reading more reviews and seeing on the g2x side. Its not seeming so bad now. Also you have to consider that im coming to tmobile so late while the g2 mt4g and nexus s are kinda old i guess you can say. Even though the g2 and mt4g will get 2.3 but i think thats about it for them as OTA updates.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] arzan:
the Nexus S 4G...on TMO...would be......oh wait...why am I dreaming again :D
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bustanut:
Get teh Samsung Galaxy S4G if you're planning to get a data plan and actually use it
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hd2brick:
SGS4

Very low internal space, 200MB as apposed to the Vibrants 16G. The phone benchmarks pretty low. But it does have the fastest antenna at 21mbs.

Nexus S

Wow it has a curved screen..... but no SD card support???? Why? Pretty cool but the download speeds will be lower because no 4g support.

If you're looking for the best I suggest the G2x or G2. I personaly use the G2 and it is amazing. But tmo just launched the G2x and it is to die for. Amazing 8MP camera, dual core processor, hdmi out for hdtv support. Get that if anything, the two phones you're deciding between have already been out dated by the G2x.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] cam_hamlin:
Wait til the Sensation or even better the SGS 2....but wait something will come out better right after...mytouch 4g slide anyone...??
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mavictb:
It sounds like the price is a concern of the op.... I say go for the nexus s... the network speed increase with the sgs4g is not enough to overcome the lack of developer support. And its cheaper. Then again... the g2x is your best choice ATM... if you have the $$$.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] moshe22:
I had the SGS4G and exchanged it for the G2x and I have no regrets. This phone is amazingly fast and responsive and dev support is already awesome. Within 2 or 3 days the phone had clockworkmod working through ROM manager.

Pretty amazing. Plus Cyanogen, Team Whiskey and others already got the phone and are working on the ROM.

If you still have a choice I say go with the G2x. Dual core is future proof. Just came out, so this phone will probably be good for the next 2 years.

Hope that helps with your decision

[Galaxy S II General] snudel:
Hi

I am thinking about the SGS2 but I would like to know if it has rSAP support or not.

For HTC devices there is some development available. But not for Samsung.

Anyone can confirm or even test?

Thanks

snudel
[Galaxy S II General] EinPaul:
According to http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSAP even SGS1 supports rSAP. So I think it should be supported by SGS2, too.
[Galaxy S II General] teh_pwnage:
excuse my ignorance but....rSAP?
[Galaxy S II General] snudel:
dont get your question. but:

in germany, some car brands have handsfree talking with rSAP protocol only.

for more details check the wiki link above.
[Galaxy S II General] teh_pwnage:
so its a bluetooth protocol that accesses the sim... what for accessing the phone book?
[Galaxy S II General] snudel:
depends on the version - as stated in the wiki

[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] pewe:
I have a problem with file transfer using bluetooth.

I recently unstalled the latest stock HTC WM6.5 rom for my Diamond 2.

Then I tried to add a A2DP headset to my laptop, and to do this had to install a new Broadcom BT driver to my laptop.

After loading the new BT driver to the laptop I had to re-pair my phones (the Diamond and a Samsung E2550 standard phone).

After re-pairing both phones I find I can transfer files from both phones to the laptop, and I can transfer files from the laptop to the Samsung.

However when I try to transfer files to the Daimond, I get an error on the laptop saying 'No Service'.

In the laptop BT 'Services' I notice that one of the services for the Samsung is 'File Transfer(Obex)', but this does not appear in the services list for the diamond.

Has anyone any ideas how I get this to work. How can I get 'File Transfer (Obex) working on the Diamond?

NOTE: File transfer worked on the Diamond before I upgraded the rom on the phone and the BT driver on the laptop.

2nd NOTE: File transfer between the Samsung and Diamond works OK - still not transferring from PC to Diamond though

Thanks.

Would be nice to here about, if this works for you. ;)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] pewe:
Thanks Braunie - but the problem is not with the enabling in the registry, the correct entry is already there

So the problem is more sinister than that.

So any assistance sorting this would be greatly appreciated.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] pewe:
It appears that the problem is not the phone - its the laptop.

To get an A2DP driver for my bluetooth headset I had to install the Widcomm bluetooth driver as A2DP is not supported in Win 7 or Acer blutooth drivers.

I uninstalled the widcomm driver and the standard Acer bluetooth driver works - I can transfer files to the phone again.

So I'm back to square one - use the standard driver and have no A2DP, or use Widcomm and lose the ability to transfer files to the phone.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] braunie:
Live could be so easy if some software-developers would think a step further. ;)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] pewe:
The main contender for problems appears to be Microsoft.

For some reason they have never bothered to tidy up their bluetooth drivers - even though they push both PC and Mobile versions of Windows. Another example is that I cannot connect to my HTC using Bluetooth in Windows Mobile Device Centre - even though I have set the bluetooth as enabled in WMDC.

From the posts on various forums etc it appears that a lot of people have similar problems to mine with A2DP, as well as other general issues with standard bluetooth drivers.

I will keep hunting around to try and find a bluetooth stack that resolves both my issues in one driver - don't hold out much hope though.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] braunie:
With A2DP I have no experience. But I think Windows Mobile has still a better bluetooth-support than android or so. As example rSAP-support for the handsfree in my car works perfect. This means that my HTC TD2 automatically connects to my car, the radio of my TD2 will be disabled because the handsfree has its own. The phone-book will automatically synchronised with the handsfree.

By the way; the bluetooth-connection with activesync (WinXP) works with no problems for me.

Wish you good luck on your "quest" ...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] pewe:
I have no problems with the mobile.

Bluetooth on the Diamond II recognises the A2DP headset, and other hands free headsets, pairs and sends files to the laptop and ends/recieves files from other phones - all good.

It appears to be a problem with Win 7 on the laptop which gives the grief.

I had no problem using bluetooth in Activesync on XP, the problems arose with the introduction of Windows Mobile Device Centre in Vista and Win7.

Thanks.
