[Nook Color General] doehlsen:
BN has a big problem - they have been losing print and e-book customers to Amazon. Their core business is going south because customers' buying habits have changed and and traffic to the stores has fallen off dramatically in the last decade.

The Nook and NC are aimed at retaining and regaining customers. The Nook product family is directed at their core customer base. Remember many of BN's most loyal customers are not tech-savvy, early adopters. Thus the simple bookcentric user interface, slow introduction of apps, and marketing ploys - coupons, access to books in store, etc.They aren't interested in getting into the device business - they want to sell content and retain (regain) loyal customers.

BN understands that e-books are definitely here to stay. E-books outsold hardcovers in Q1 and represent a major solution to a bookstores biggest problem - inventory. So, if BN can ride the e-book curve and serve its core customers, that's a big win for them.

Thus, from BN's perspective, the NC is an e-reader not a simple tablet. It beats every other dedicated e-reader by a long margin. It allows BN to sell content that isn't available on Amazon's Kindle (children's books, magazines, graphic-oriented books) because of its technical (primarily color) capabilities and opens the door for them to sell music and video - both of which are significant revenue steams in their stores.

I wouldn't expect them to embrace the tablet race any time soon. While traffic to their stores continues to decline, they have produced a device that essentially lets their customers take the store home with them.

What's fascinating is that they have also left the door open for the tech crowd to make the NC into something much more sophisticated. I don't think this is unintentional. In a way, they have the best of both worlds.
[Nook Color General] olm3ca:
My bet is... a newer, faster, slimmer, cooler device... ;-)

I'm happy with mine though the way it is, only major complaint is that you can't buy content from B&N store while overseas. I travel a lot for work and the other day I tried to purchase a magazine to read, only to get rejected b/c I'm not in the US right now. Annoying... Meanwhile, it's rooted so I just went to the Kindle app and bought a book from Amazon. That's my answer to B&N's stupid policy.
[Nook Color General] a.fenderson:
Almost, but not quite, the entire picture. The NC hardware and official B&N accessories are now available everywhere--you'll be able to buy an NC and an Industriell cover at your local convenience store in a week--and the mark-up on the first-party accessories has got to be *massive*. I bought my NC used, but I've already bought an Aalto case ($30) and the B&N antireflective screen cover (~$16). They're raking it in on accessory sales even for those of us like me who have not and probably will not buy a single app or book on the official platform (or even the Nook Android app).

True, and by not marketing it as a tablet, but kindly leaving in amazingly useful backdoors, they're all but encouraging the modding community to do what they will with their Nooks while counting on accessory sales to make money even from the tablet crowd.

Exactly.

Absolutely right, and a brilliant move on their part, IMO. The only people they're not making money on (assuming NC hardware sales are break-even) are the people who don't use it in its official capacity and who also never purchase a single first-party accessory--I'd imagine they foresaw that would be a small enough percentage of NC owners that they didn't worry about it when hatching their master plan for the NC. ;)
[Nook Color General] BrianDigital:
nope its the beauty of open systems, is why this is an almost tablet. They elected to chose a already working free operating system then just implemented the barnes and noble frameworks.
[Nook Color General] joobu:
I've looked at one very prominent supply chain estimator (rhymes with iComply) bill of material (BOM) estimates. The Nook Color BOM is estimated to cost $200. The display and touchscreen alone accounts for $100 of that.

In comparison, the BOM estimate for Amazon Kindle Gen 3 (w/3G) is estimated at $155.

Those are some very very thin margins.

Think about this: the iPhone 4 CDMA is estimated to cost less than $200. It sells for $750 here without contract.

Is there any possible way for the QPST software to detect my droid? I need to flash it to cricket.

I downloaded latest drivers and some other software's from Verizon and still it wont detect it.

it Will show under ports COM3 but it shows as unknown usb (NO PHONE)
[Droid X General] Ben's:
The DX needs to be in PC Mode and USB debugging needs to be on. Second, you need the Motorola drivers off their web site. I suggest clicking on the link with MotoHelper, it takes all the guess work out of drivers for Motorola devices and updates the DX drivers to run up to date. http://www.motorola.com/Support/US-...tware_and_Drivers/USB-and-PC-Charging-Drivers

This should do the trick. Also, use a com 10 or higher.
[Droid X General] yanis25:
thanx for the reply, still nothing tho... dont know what to do, I wish i could borrow someones drives from system32 folder.
[Droid X General] bigshotrob22:
Try installing this first Click Here The single port version is free!

Click the Login button. The password should automatically be filled in and click OK.

Go to the Settings tab and make sure that NVT Enabled is unchecked and go back to the Virtual Serial Port tab.

To be safe, pick a COM port above 8

Make sure the IP Address field reads 192.168.16.2 and the Port field reads 11008

Click the Create COM button and after a few moments you should now have successfully created a COM port for your Droid X.
[Droid X General] yanis25:
Ok it did said created, but what exactly did it create?
[Droid X General] bigshotrob22:
It created the com port..now you open qpst and connect to the phone with the com port you created
[Droid X General] yanis25:
Thanx for your time, but no luck, Still says no phone :(
[Droid X General] bigshotrob22:
Did you add new port?
[Droid X General] yanis25:
Thanxxxxxxxxx

it did work!!!!!!!!!! thanx a LOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Droid X General] bigshotrob22:
No problem
[Droid X General] jcervantes11:
Hello can you upload the qpst so I can download it? Or share me the link. I have one that isn't compatible with droid x. I was using QPST 2.7 Build 231

HTC Lockscreen from Sense 3.0 for all you Chefs and Non-Chefs lol...

Source

Just install this .apk, reboot and you will get the new sense 3.0 lockscreen!!

Missed calls, SMS, and more in the lockscreen!! :)

Also attached is the default 2.3.3 lockscreen incase you dont like it - Just remember to rename it to HtcLockScreen.apk
[HTC Desire S] gfandrea:
doesn't work on stock ROM, you can't install system app..

How do you install it?
[HTC Desire S] crea0414:
I also have same problem... >> "you can't install this app"
[HTC Desire S] sonikz:
Could it be you need root access to replace the system files? In which case it could be a bit of a trick
[HTC Desire S] robot1000:
Even more of a reason to get this device S-Off('d)

Shame there isn't really a large 'modding' community backing it
[HTC Desire S] kkaktoos:
thanks nice
[HTC Desire S] MarylandCookie:
Its a System App hence requires root.

So unfortunately no good to those without root.
[HTC Desire S] vadbess:
how to cancel calls in this Lockscreen
[HTC Desire S] MarylandCookie:
I only get the new sense lockscreen and somehow it doesnt seem to alter anything else i.e calls still have the old lock :confused:

Did you just replace the old file with the new one?
[HTC Desire S] Blezz:
double press power button to decline calls
[HTC Desire S] zomgzombies:
wrong thread
[HTC Desire S] yozha:
How to install?
[HTC Desire S] jussy:
Someone can please post htc sense 2.1 lockscreen apk?

Thanks.

Best Regards.
[HTC Desire S] smarti13:
impossible for s-ON :-(

impossible to install....
[HTC Desire S] MarylandCookie:
Ive updated the 1st post with recovery flashable zips, both 2.1 sense and 3.0 sense versions.
[HTC Desire S] cymru:
Doesnt work on 2.3.4

Tried the apk (which installed fine) and the flash but neither have any effect. Lock screen remains stock....

EDIT: Probably because i found this thread through Google so didnt realise what section i was in... im on a Nexus One
[HTC Desire S] MarylandCookie:
The recovery flash is for Desire S and not the nexus so obviously wouldnt work. Mount points etc in the updater script will be different, thats if it uses updater script.
[HTC Desire S] datoml:
After installed it, my desire s can't boot anymore.

I guess, when it tries to load the lockscreen, it crashes.

What I am doing wrong :/ ?

Edit:

Ok, now it works. Flashed a custom rom and installed the lockscreen.

But one question left. I guess its not possible to put the mail, telephone... app to this lockscreen like in the sense 3.0 videos.

True oder false?
[HTC Desire S] panosfx:
Sense 3.0 is laggy on Desire S or it works smooth?
[HTC Desire S] datoml:
Its only the lockscreen of sense 3.0.

But dont worry, works really smooth and its really really cool :).

Give it a chance, you'll like it :D.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] davanw:
Here are some issues I've noticed with Media on my phone.

It happens completely at random.

Occasionally I will attempt to play a video file, or an MP3 file using the built-in software. The device will say "unable to play this file type". If I completely shut-down the phone, restart it, then I am able to play the files again. Like I said, happens completely at random, but I will usually have to reboot at least once every 3 or 4 days to resolve this issue.

Also, sometimes and also completely random, my ringtones will simply stop working. I still get a notification on the notification bar, and NoLed still gives me a notification, but no sound. Again, I have to reboot the phone to correct the issue.

Any ideas? Anyone else experience this?

My phone is the Bell 19000M on the latest factory Bell Froyo build with no root or lagfix or anything non-standard. I also noticed this behaviour on the last Froyo build (the one just before Christmas the bricked the phone).

TIA!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] JJEgan:
Backup data and factory reset as first step .

jje
[Galaxy S I9000 General] davanw:
I've done this several times, each time I don't even restore a backup, rather I manually drag and drop necessary files back onto the device, and manually re-install applications as necessary. But I appreciate the reply. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] markdj57:
I can confirm these issues on a i9000 european uk with jvk gingerbread.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] davanw:
Dammit, that's not good news!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] markdj57:
This happens maybe once a week or even more infrequently. I had the media not playing twice in 6 weeks and going out of video, closing with task manager and then back in fixed it.

I had the ringtone bug last week and going in to sound and checking which sound was selected showed the circular icon was blue, sound played ok when I selected it again. On froyo, sometimes I could not select any ringtone that was my own, the blue icon would not work.

This happens very infrequently but it is annoying having missed calls with no ringtone played to alert.

I still have the wifi stopping working in perfect reception at times too.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] davanw:
When this happens on my phone, I had tried going into Task Manager to end all active applications, and clear Level1 and Leve2 memory, but it didn't seem to make a difference for me. Only rebooting the phone did.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] NinjaCoder:
I am also experiencing this issue.

I am running stock AT&T Captivate.

I have google music, double twist, and mypod installed as well.

Note: I also notice a problem when I unplug power or headphones it sometimes starts playing music.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bdgtor:
Folks, I had the same problem with the media files (video and audio)...occasionally had to reboot to play anything on the phone....scoured the internet and found an obscure reference to the official Twitter application causing this issue (was buried deep inside a forum post). It didn't make much sense to me, but I had the application installed, so I decided to take a shot anyway. My media playback problems disappeared after uninstalling it. Haven't had to reboot my phone even once for this problem ever since. Thinking back, my issues started right about the time that I installed the application.

Anyway, I'm no expert so can't guarantee that the source of your problem is the same, but that is what was definitely causing my problem. I switched to a different third party twitter app, and all has been good ever since.

Edit: Forgot to mention that I am also with Bell Mobility and have an unmodified SGS with the latest firmware available to Bell customers

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] f1ng3r:
I have tried all those ROMs there. And if i have to make a choise only about fluidity(and personalization), Cyanogenmod 6.1.1 BETA is the winner. But...i must evaluate even the stability and the bug's absence.

So, the winner is Dronix(ultraspeed/fluidity and higly stable).

P.S How can the sum of the percentage be more than 100%? :confused:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] veer1238:
I GUESS ITS BCZ OV A MULTI VOTE POLL...or XDA BUG!:D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] f1ng3r:

i realy like ginger man,couse you can modify the status bar and oder thingz, but its not very stable and reliable at da moment SO FUSION ideos is my current fav rom!!! im lovin it!:D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] PakRatt:
"Fussion"

Same here. Nice layout, it's smooth & stable. The only problem I've had is with

browsers dumping out under load.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Maibol:
Dronix and cyano beta 6.x.x are the best honorable mention cyanoman and gingerman
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] King_Rat:
1. Cyanoman v2 ^^ fastest I've tried yet... 5.2 MFlops w/ all my apps restored :nice: + Cyanogen options rox :D

2. Froyoman... almost as fast as CM6-II, + has no bugs ^^

3. Gingerman :cool: c'mon it's Gingerbread!! bugs fixed soon hopefully then it will

be no.1

Havent tried any others coz they don't support ROM-Manager/CWM flashing ^^

DroniX for life :D

Is the faster without sacrificing anything, down/overclock, multitouch and good theme
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jim74s:
fusion ideos is the best rom !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] AndytheAndroid:
I've been using FUSION for the most part because it's really really stable.

I would like to see a change in the themeing though.

If I was to switch in future it would be to Gingerman once the major bugs have been squashed.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jing713:
FusionIdeos

as updates don't delete apps and data - really easily done.

Incorporates OCing, multi touch and custom theme....

Which is largely what I want

Though theming could do with a slight change!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Trekker56:
Right noe Dronix is my fav.

Cyanoman and Gingerman are close 2nds, but there a few bugs in them

CyanoGenMod 6.1.1 from MarcNvidic and FUSIONideos
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Alex_ideos:
ATM i'm using FUSIONideos, very stable and fully-featured (over and underclock, multitouch and link2sd - which is great!), but i'm looking forward for a stable CM port, whether 6 or 7...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] thay:
Any dubt? :)

DroniX of course the most complete overfeatured and stable rom for U8150

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] davidea:
dronix , of course!!!

i'd like the author ideas to make a rom more linux oriented then the other.

i'd like the stability, the ssh server, the upload feature via http server.

other.... i'd like it!!!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cal2011:
I didnt flash a rom till multi-touch was released

Andro-id was my first favourite,since ive tried froyomanv2, cyanogenmod6.1.1beta, cm7 v2, dronix0.3,

I havent been able to flash the newest cyanoman,

Fusionideos1.9.8 is my current rom and my favourite, dronix close second :D

My user experience; I found all these roms good, fuisionideos seems bug free and regular updates/fixes

and the cyan blue/black theme, most of my themes are that colour

Leandroid for the is the rom that in long term use give me less problem.
