[T-Mobile LG G2x] lovedroid:
I am new to Android and need some help.

My G2X has WIFI issue. I rooted it using SuperOneClick and then deleted 2 Tmobile "MyAcccount" system applications (version 1.0 and version 5.0.15) using Titanium Backup Free version. (I backed up data though)

Could someone tell me how to restore the G2X back to original state? I heard that I cannot just run "factory reset" after what I've done. Can I use SuperOneClick to unroot and then run factory reset? Will it restore the MyAccount applications to factory default as I deleted it already? I appreciate your help in advance. Thanks.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bls2633:
If you used Titanium to back up the apps first you can use titanium to restore them as well. You can use Super One Click to unroot the same way you used it to root. Then you can do a factory reset but im not sure if that will restore the "my account apps", Why are you trying to restore??

Okay, I've watched enough YouTube videos, and am ready to take the plunge and pick up a NookColor. As of right now, what do you guys recommend for a ROM to start with. My most important criteria is STABILITY. My wife and child need to be able to use it without needing to ask me for help because it won't power up, or gets frozen, etc. Also, I need full market access, and would prefer the Home/Back/Menu buttons at the bottom of the screen all the time. Navigation speed is important to me, and I would rather have speed than a beautiful interface.

The official FroYo release today doesn't look like it has what I need, so I was thinking about starting with Nookie Comb. Also, I am a 'recovered rom addict' from the Windows Mobile phone days, and would prefer a rom that updates with lots of fixes at once, not a new build every two days that fixes one or two things.

What do you guys suggest? Thanks in advance.

I just switched from Nookie Froyo to CM7. Oh my god I love CM7 so much.

It's the first ROM where I have been able to make the wifi stay awake all the time. All the ROMs seem to have an issue with the wifi going to sleep then taking forever to wake up on any of the Nook Colors I've owned. I was able to install Wifi Lock and make the wifi stay on with the CM7. Wifi Lock and other tools like that never worked for me on Nookie Froyo.

CM7 has the home, back, and menu buttons on the task bar, like Nookie Froyo does now too. But CM7 does a great job keeping some apps that like to force full screem mode from doing that. So with CM7 you always have access to those buttons.

But video play back doesn't seem as good on CM7. Seems like I even have a little trouble with some 480p videos. Hardware video processing still not working with CM7?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zamboniman:
All of these people are saying you should use CyanogenMod7, but in my opinion you'd be better off going with CyanogenMod7 for the currently most stable and full featured rom.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] micksh:
Is CM7 as stable as rooted stock?

In other threads I read about problems with sleep. Some complain about battery life.

With rooted 1.1 stock I once measured more than 7 hours of continuous 720x400 mp4 video playback (~20% brightness, Wi-Fi on). Would it be possible with CM7?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EnTg888:
From my experience, CM7 can do around 5-7 hours of web browsing. Not that you'd want to stare at it for that long.

The battery drain problem in CM7 is more related to the standby, since it doesn't sleep as deeply as the other roms, and will drain at around ~1% an hour with the screen off.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 12paq:
Yes, very stable. This build imho, is better then manufacturer biulds.

CM7 is WAY worth it. It is a custom build of Gingerbread 2.3.3. Froyo simply has less features and is an older rom. The Nook app from the Market is nice. It does not do periodicals or interactive childrens books. But if you must have these 2 features you can boot CM7 from SD card. I have had a bit better experiance running CM7 from eMMC.

If you have any experience putting custom roms on Android devices its easy and fun to install. If you have no experiance its still fun to install, real fun. :)
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thechrisventura:
From what I'd try, I would have to say CM7. For most basic things, I have found CM7 considerably more stable than stock even.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AidenM:
Everyone says CM7.

Look, CM7 stinks! Get ever get it to boot.

The real way to go is CM7. It's too awesome. It's bloated with cool features and a new nightly every 1-2 days. Plus, they are so EASY to flash! Just grab ROM Manager Premium from the market, and hit update ROM. Will download latest mod. It's truly awesome.

P.S. As I said, CM7 sucks! Better go with cm7

I know your going :confused:
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mooja:

I tried CM7, followed the directions exactly http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Barnes_&_Noble_Nook_Color:_Full_Update_Guide, except it won't boot. It gets stuck on the CyanogenMod boot screen. I have left it there for 20 minutes at a time, rebooting a couple times. No luck. This was CM 7.02. I am going to try CM 7.00 next and see if that takes. Any suggestions?

grab a bootable cwr sd card image (doesnt really have to match your size as long as the image is smaller than your card) after burning the card, put the cyanogen zip and gapps zip on the card, put the card into your nook, boot it up, in recovery wipe system/cache/data/dalvik and then flash the cyanogen zip then flash the gapps zip then remove the card and reboot the nook, should have cm7 up shortly thereafter.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HTCF4N:
Oh gaww... looks like the attack of the cm7 mob here.. haha. I've tried all these roms, dual booted the heck out of emmc and the sd (quadruple boot).

So here's my two cents...

* Keep the stock NC on your emmc (internal) because your family will find it easy to use. It's extremely stable and has children's book and other features exclusive (at this point) to the stock Nook Color rom. Of course, this is only really if you intend to read with the BN reader. I find it great because it will accept .epub books that you download to your memory card/internal and also has superior battery life to all other custom roms at the moment.

* Get a fast (class 6 or anything Sandisk) microSD, probably a 8gb or more is good, and get yourself some CM7 to wet your pallet. Read up on how to install and update to the SD from the development threads. CM7 is very well maintained and cutting edge (OC to 1.3, BT, high quadrant scores), but alas the main issue is battery life (base kernel), some kinks in video decoding, and wifi cycling (oc kernel). Be prepared to flash nightlies (rom updates) and yes, you will be addicted to flashing. If you're smart enough, you'll also figure out how to toggle boot either from SD card or emmc by using the buttons during boot (dualbooting sd/emmc).

* Try out Nookie Comb (Froyo based) if you want something less flashly but has better battery life. The development for Nookie Froyo base is pretty much stopped and Dalingrin is not currently supporting it (except maybe the OC kernels?), but IMHO it has enough stability in it for me to use on a day-to-day basis and the battery life is excellent. It does however have a weird video orientation issue and the wifi issue when running the OC kernel with interactive governance. I have no burning desire for the still buggy BT functions (range, interfere w/wifi issues).

If you're brave and want to maximize the 8gb internal emmc, you'll find your way to re-partition your emmc, move the stock to the second dual boot partitions, and have a party on your primary boot internal partition. And then you'll have your SD as a storage or better yet, load anther version of android or the HoneyComb preview on it and quadruple boot using the multiboot SD files. LOL... and then your wife and kids will leave you because you haven't been paying ANY attention to them and kind of smell bad. :D
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daemonfly:
CM7 is nice, but I'm seriously considering going back to the Froyo SD I had as it's battery life was excellent. With CM7, battery is constantly drained to the point where it won't turn on until I charge it. With the Froyo version, I could forget about it for most of a week or so, and still be able to use it.

I do mainly use it only for the XBMC remote app to control my HTPC, so I don't really need CM7 features.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elessarelfstar:
I've been using CM7 for quite a while. It IS really nice, and I will not disagree with anything anyone here has said praising the hell out it (the devs certainly deserve it). That being said, I just went back to stock 1.2 (and took some commonly used apks and a custom launcher with me) and just today I remembered how much I loved the battery life on a kernel that sleeps properly.

So, if reading if your primary focus, 1.2 (especially once it's rooted and given proper market access) is a good thing.

If you plan on using it like an iPad and really don't mind plugging it in every day CM7 is a no brainer.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martyxng:
Awesome dude. Worked like a champ. Not sure what I did wrong before, but that's the winner. Works like a champ without the SD card in. But when I do have it in, it boots right to Clockwork Mod. I can just format the SD card and use it for storage at this point, right?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsf3g:
How's video playback with CM7? Do fullscreen movies play with good quality and no skipped frames? I ask because, though I was planning on going with stock 1.2 B&N, the new update actually degraded movie playback, which is important for me. Now I'm considering trying CM7.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] painter_:
You will have to repartition then reformat the SD card.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richdaley:
At some point, I recommend trying the Honeycomb preview port as well, just so you can see it. It is not 100% ready for prime time but it works shockingly well on the NC and I used it as my emmc ROM for several weeks because I liked the integrated soft buttons. CM7 now has similar soft button functionality. Google should release the source code so that the CM team can get a crack at it.

Also, I really like Phiremod which is based on CM7 but it has more ornate animations and the market and OC kernel installed.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] japzone:
CM7 off an SD allows you to use CM7 but pull out the Card and Boot Stock when your Wife or Kid wants to use it. Careful about what brand of card you get though. Often the best result is with a Main brand card like SanDisk.

This.

I'm enjoying the stable version of CM7. But the batter life is just killing me. I thought perhaps it was just overblown, but a 10-20% loss overnight just isn't cutting it for me. It seems to drain faster during use than Nookie Froyo as well. (Not overclocked.)
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iDidItAll4theNookie:
Seems like a lot of CM7 fanboys in here. They are biased, CM7 is way better. ;)

I can't say I've tried many ROMs other than CM7, but that might be because CM7 is so good that I didn't feel the need to try other options. Battery life is the only real issue vs stock. I don't know why, but 7.0 stable seems to have better battery life than later versions. I just keep that on an SD card and run it when I'm not tinkering.

BTW, I've had 2 winners when going with DaneElec 4gb class 4 from Target. Lucky me, cause they were the cheapest without having to go across town, and the potential savings ain't worth the $3.70/gal of gold I'd burn to get over there. :eek: If only CM7 could mod the gas prices.

It's good, hardware decoding works very well. And i've had a lot of success playing even 720p(MKV, Mov, Mp4) movies with the newest nightly + OC kernel setup to 300/1300 conservative. (This is in moboplayer of course, rockplayer literally has a spasm attack if you try it)

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robot8:
You may have accidentally turned "Airplane Mode" on at some point. There is a bug in CM7 which makes it stay enabled permanently no matter if it says on or off. In which case you'd need to ADB shell in to delete the entry in settings.db to fix it.

Easier way, which I have not tried, is to use the free app called "Android Assistant" where you can apparently reset the mode.

Edit: and all you CM7 fanbois have got it totally wrong. IMHO the most stable, greatest, bestest rom is Cyanogenmod 7.

I have found the Cyanogen Mod 7 (Stable) has worked best for me. You can also add the "Honeycomb" theme and see the desired button placement. Most functionality is there. Every once in a while (2 times a week) I get an FC error on an application, but for the most part, I see this as the most stable and feature rich ROM out there. I am sure that some would disagree, but for now, that's what is on my Nook till something tremendously better comes out.

Hope this helps.

lots of great suggestions but too bad everyone forgot to mention cm7.

i do recommend giving nookie comb froyo rom by mikegonz a try. Excellent. It was a tough switch to cm7 as i really like the notifications in that rom and the honeycomb theme. plus it was all setup from the get go. wish it could be redone in cm7 as a theme. maybe the notifications how they were implemented there can be done in cm7, i just don't know how. I like the back button position that is swapped with the home button when compared to cm7. It's a well done rom with excellent battery life. I've since switched to cm7 perm. though.

cm7 is great for my bt keyboard and for hooking up a wii remote for gaming. I've been messing around trying a ton of themes trying to get a perfect experience (for me) and finally think i am close but I'm still learning.

I think when they work out the sleep issue where battery life is on par with froyo there will be no reason to use anything else.

thanks to all the devs and the hard work they've put in!
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] delosh:
cm7 is working great and is very stable for me. I've been updating with the nightlies for several weeks now, and am currently running CM7.02 overclocked to 1300 MHz. All of my apps work, I'm not experiencing any crashes or force closes whatsoever, video is running smoothly in youtube and my browser, no problems watching movies and TV shows in megaviewer and tv show stream, tablet tweaks have greatly improved the user experience, wifi is working without a hitch, and even have my bluetooth keyboard going without any problems (at short distances).

Can't imagine using anything other than CM7 at this point. Nothing else is even close when it comes to the combination of versatility, speed, and stability.

I did use airplane mode once yesterday, and wifi is dead now...

Thanks
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fattire:
If you have a corrupt wifi settings file, ou can (permanently) remove all your wifi settings by going into adb shell (or the Terminal Emulator app) and typing:

# rm /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
# reboot

The configuration file will be regenerated on the next boot. (if you do use the Terminal Emulator, type "su" first at the $ prompt to get the # prompt instead)

Oh, and instead of CM7, try cm7. It's less uppercasey.

how to unroot and return to stock recovery

this is only until a better method arrives.

step 1-download the stock nandroid restore posted by TGA_Gunnman and follow the instructions he provides( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1048274) . this will get your phone back to stock, but you're still rooted and have Titanium Installed and Rom Manager Installed.

you'll also have back any bloatware\tmobile apps you may have deleted.

step 2

you'll need to have nvflash setup properly and the NVidia boot-recovery driver installed. good instructions can be found here http://android.modaco.com/content/l...lash-setup-instructions-drivers-links-active/

step 3- download the stock recovery from here http://mirror.dal.tdrevolution.net/ctso/g2x/part5.img

step 4- place the part5.img in your nvflash folder.

step 4a- download clockwork recovery test2-- http://mirror.dal.tdrevolution.net/ctso/g2x/nvflash-recovery.tgz .

in the folder download of cwm recovery test2, i took all the files except for test2.img and nvflash and put them in my nvflash folder.

step 5- power off your phone. take out the battery. unplug the usb cable from the phone,you can leave the other end plugged in to the pc.

hold down both volume buttons on the phone. while holding them down, plug the usb cable in to your phone. you should hear the windows device connected sound. that's good. you'll see nothing on the phone. you can let go of the volume buttons now.

step 6- hold shift and right click an empty area inside the nvflash folder. select "open command window here".

if you can't do that, cd to your nvflash folder.

now, copy and paste this into the command window...

nvflash --bct 1108_Hynix_512MB_H8TBR00U0MLR0DM_300MHz_final_emmc_x8.bct --bl fastboot.bin --download 5 part5.img

press enter. if it gets to "part5.img sent successfully", you are now back to stock recovery. unplug the phone and place the battery back in. holding vol.down and power will format\hard reset your phone now.

don't forget to uninstall titanium and rom manager.

step 8- use superoneclick to unroot your phone.

if anyone would like to elaborate\correct anything on here,please pm me and i'll edit the post. thanks
