Hi Sullivan!

Nice to hear about your travels in Romania. Yes, the lanscape in beautiful and most of the people are very friendly. There are good Romanians and bad Romanians, just like worldwide there are good people and bad people.

But not many of the other people make the distinction or are willing to make it.

This is part of the show of this world......

No, you are lucky if, by opening the ShagControl, you can then activate wifi and BT. If not, try reinstalling the ShagControl, it shouldn't take long. If not, you have to look here on the forum for a work-around before going back to Vista.

Btw, did you erase completely the Vista recovery partition or is it still there and you can put Vista back in 10 minutes with the F3 thing?

If you have no other choice then going back to Vista, I suggest to make a back-up image of the W7 OS that you can restore later, it will save you a lot of time.

Regarding the W7 correct installation, I suggest to read the posts of RSargeant, they are very good and he speaks also about the communication part, if I recall correctly.

That's correct. You did not get my message: you cannot open the SD card from the WinMob at all. Not even with a coocked rom.

This is a still open challenge on this forum. It appears theoretically possible, but nobody managed to do it, it is about both hardware and software (drivers and not only) changes.

Yes, you are right, save all your personnal data first, it will completely washed out.

Good luck!

OK

Hi my friend.

Ok yesterday I made some changes to my HTC SHIFT X9500

I put hardspl, it was not so easy cause I made it 3 times, always system said me something like: I cannot open port.... and didn't want to start but at the end after 2 times and after I reset my device...it did fortunately.

I could put a cooked rom: i00

sincerly I'm not so satisfied 100% cause resolution...and other things but sure better from the previous

I wanted to put the 6.5 Rome for htc shift from CLIO 28/3/2010 but I cant download it:

http://romeos.monx.biz/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=56&Itemid=93

it's very nice but nothing to do, link is out, maybe I have to pay something to the author to download it.

Now I have inside i00 ROM Cooked but If I want to put another ROM Cooked or the original Italian Rom I have to put again HARDSPL or not? I used one time hardspl is it enough?

AFTER I upgrade Windows Visto to Windows 7 Starter Edition

I would like to ask you this:

After I upgrade to Windows 7 and I go to WM side, I cannot Attach it !!!

Attach to Vista and when I go to Windows 7 side I cannot see Pocket PC

How I can do? Is it possible or I have to remain with Vista? Oh Damn !

MY objective is to put GARMIN PC to my HTC SHIFT and use it as navigation and Mp3 device connected to my Car Radio Amplifier.

Ceau

Sullivan2002
[Shift General] axelTP2:
Yes, once is enough, but only until loading again an original rom (I think)! May be we get also someone else on this forum to confirm it (that after loading the original rom is necessary to HardSPL again).

Hey, you're not stuck with Vista. Did you follow the recommended threads to install Win7? Watch carefully the drivers. Ah, I think you have to do the installation of Win7 in Vista compatibility mode and as administrator. Can't tell you more, I use XP, remember?

You'll manage that, cannot be that difficult! Once the usb connection done, there should be no further problem.

Good luck!
[Shift General] sullivan2002:
ok

thanks

I understood about hardspl, I think so to put again if I want to put an original rom and after a cooked one.

For the rest. Now All is ok, also USBTOOL.. works I installed GPSBLUE... and GPSGATE in WM side and W7 side. In WM side I output on Activesync and in W7 side Input on Activesync.. but GARMIN Doesn't reconize GPS.

Ok about the drivers for W7, all went well about installing in Vista Compatibility mode and Administrator mode.

I have installed GARMIN 5...XXX.30 and can see only Bluetooth GPS or USB GPS, I think I must download somewhere a version like 5....xxx.70, I heard somewhere that was written that only this version can reconize GPS from Activesync or TCP/IP

Sullivan2002
[Shift General] axelTP2:
Hi Sullivan2002,

After checking with someone I know, on his HTC Shift there is the following software installed:

- On the WinMob side - PPC GPS Router 2.0.0.0 (HTC 2005) to enable the GPS port and HTC GPS Tool v1.2.1.26 to do the reception.

- On the W7 side there are Franson GPS Gate 2.6, Garmin Mobile PC v 5.00.70g and GMap Catcher.

Unfortunately I can't tell you more, I'm not using Shift with GPS. Maybe in the future.

Anyway, do a search on this forum, I recall there was a thread on Gramin.

Good luck!

[T-Mobile LG G2x] supersprocket:
My SGS4G didn't have a pre-installed voice with Google Nav until I followed the auto prompt to install from the market. The G2X however, came pre-installed with a natural, English Americanh voice...far from the robotic voice that is standard with Google Nav.

The funny thing is that every time I ran my Nav I'd receive the prompt that in order to have turn by turn I needed the voice pack (paraphrasing) but I already had a voice. Curiosity got the better of me so I downloaded the voice pack and am now left with that awful robotic voice to which we've all become so accustomed (unless you've forked over 2.99 for SVOX).

I could pay the 3 bucks for SVOX but it kind of bothers me that I already had a natural voice pre-installed but I can't get it to come back! There's no trace of the download in my applications management, my market or anywhere.

Does anyone know how I can get the natural voice that came with the phone to return?

Hello,

I'm looking for headset (bluetooth preferred) for my Droid Incredible. It has to be over the ear style because I wear hearing aids.

I like this--->http://www.plantronics.com/us/product/voyager-pro-plus

But the ear piece will push against the ear mold...

This style over the ear--->http://www.amazon.com/Plantronics-M214C-Headset-Adjustable/dp/B000ANOY7M/ref=pd_sim_e_7

is what I'm looking for but it's wired.

Suggestions?
[Droid Incredible Accessories] youngdrake:
The v pro is one of the top bluetooth headsets on the market at the moment. Looks aside its got some of the clearest connections and the dual mic setup really does its job. Another more lightweight headset you might be interested in is the plantronics m1100. I have only seen one headset that does not have an earbud component to it and i am blanking on the name at the moment. It was a reversible headset designed to be easily switched from one ear to the other and had a speaker instead of an earbud. If i remember what the headset is i'll be sure to post it.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] makya53:
I'm on my third, because I leave them on jobs all of the time. The best bt hands down. Call, build and battery quality is top notch. I get about 5.5-6hrs on a charge talking or streaming Bubba the love sponge from radio io.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] asidrave:
+1 on the voyager pro plus. Great battery life and clarity. You can remove the earbud and it would lay flat against the hearing aid. Take a look at the manual online and you will see what i mean

Well, after reading dalingrin's declaration that he will quit NC, and that others like Bryan21, cicada and probably others have already left us, i would like to pay my tribute and respect to them:

Thank you all for the greatness of your work and time applied for our happiness.

I would like to urge you guys to finish the "masterpiece" that was started (kernel 2.6.32) but if its not possible, thank you for share you knowledge and experience with us!

Pls be back soon!!!

Same... i dint think Dal is leaving us...
[Nook Color General] racks11479:
Ummmmm...... where does it say that Dalingrin is dropping development for the nook color?? In fact he is eagerly awaiting the B&N source code to see if they can use anything from their .32 kernel with CM7.
[Nook Color General] ace7196:
Damn trolls.

So, Dal is busy right now with school. Also with upgrading the kernel. See also real life.

Give the kid a break! Also, he said he will most likely stop NF (froyo) development, since there are so few downloads and the devs for those distros have said (correct me if I'm wrong) they will not support/upgrade their work, with CM7 being the badass distro it is.
[Nook Color General] dalingrin:
Unfortunately I am leaving Nook development entirely. I'm looking for a new tablet and in the meantime I sold the Nook to a friend. It was fun while it lasted though.

Good luck all!
[Nook Color General] mooja:
oh no! please tell me someone else is going to maintain your OC kernels! youve done a lot of work on the nook color, and i will really really miss your updates and the like.
[Nook Color General] racks11479:
Oooookaaaaayyyy. Now you're just playing with my emotions Dalingrin! What happened to our conversation about a 1.4 ghz kernel?! Why?!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :(

Either this is a very emotional rollerxoaster joke you're trying to pull on us or this is the saddest day of the nook community. ;)

I'm hoping its a joke. Right?!! Its a joke. Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight?!

And dangit. I've already told my wife about her shopping spree. Please dont let my bank account goto waste.
[Nook Color General] dalingrin:
I figure with stock 1.2 Froyo released there is no reason to continue CM7 so I want to go to another device.

[Nook Color General] poofyhairguy:
Can't believe yall thought dal would leave. First of all, a smart guy like dal would never sell his tablet and "go looking for another one." dal will know exactly what his next tablet is before he buys it, and hopefully let us all know beforehand too so we can get it ourselves! Secondly, dal would never consider the default Froyo good enough when CM7 has better video playback, working bluetooth, and is faster overall. It is a freaking masterpiece.

But I was thinking today: Aren't we running out of problems? I would love to see a classic dal rant of what possibilities lie past .32 when he can get back in the state of life he was in before Spring Break when his average post size was much larger (I completely understand, I am a student too)!
[Nook Color General] Divine_Madcat:
Well, most of the Honeycomb tablets are using at least .36; before AOSP drops on it, we should be running that version as well. ;)

Damn it Dal...:P

[Nook Color General] s52m3:
Maybe this is a good time to ask this. I understand that dal is an author of a kernel. But how does CM7 gets developed as a whole? Is it the same code base for all android devices or is it specific for each device?

[Nook Color General] jzibit17:
I got scared!!!!!! I just got my nook 2 days ago... thank you for all your hard work
[Nook Color General] dalingrin:
There are two sides to CyanogenMod development. There is a common base that is that is all of what you actually see and use. Then there is a device specific branch of development. The device side of development is centered around getting all the parts that make up Android working with the hardware. This can vary in difficulty based on a few factors. We've been limited to 2.6.29 which definitely made things much harder for us to do the device development for Gingerbread.

Making our own 2.6.32 kernel has been made difficult due to an old sound codec driver that isn't playing nice with the DMA changes in 2.6.32. It is literally the only real piece of the 2.6.32 kernel that was holding us back.

That said, often we on the device side make changes to the CM core code and the CM core developers might make device specific changes. It isn't always clear cut.

Edit: Woohoo 699 on the Thanks Meter as of my posting
[Nook Color General] :
Forgive my ignorance but is that 2.6.32 as in the standard linux kernel? How different is developing for android versus linux (I know it has the same base, but...)
[Nook Color General] dalingrin:
In terms of the kernel it isn't really different at all. The Android additions to the kernel are mostly drivers and don't fundamentally change the kernel. After you get out of the kernel it is a good bit different than standard linux development. Most of the subsystems talking to the kernel are different.
[Nook Color General] dalingrin:
I'm glad someone enjoyed my long posts. :D

As for my next tablet, it will probably be Kal El(Tegra 3) based. I'm waiting for quad core before I get a new tablet. Hopefully something in the neighborhood of 9"

If something quad core that is TI or Qualcomm based is coming out near years end then I'd rather buy that. I'm thinking they are going fall behind NVIDIA though :(

My hope is to get a quad core to port CM8(Ice Cream) and a mainstream linux distribution using Gnome, Unity or KDE. Would be great if the tablet used uboot to make it easier to boot a normal linux distribution.
[Nook Color General] :
No way...
[Nook Color General] poofyhairguy:
I am a huge Nvidia fanboy for some of their crazy X work, so their move into tablets is great for me. I would love to see a tablet with VDPAU support.

First thing I thought of when I saw Tegra 3 had virtualization support. By then the awesome work of guys like Daniel Stone will make the regular Linux desktop very useable on a tablet I think.

Thanks for all the great work!
[Nook Color General] dalingrin:
My apprehension with NVIDIA is their insistence on closed proprietary drivers.
[Nook Color General] poofyhairguy:
I agree that an open philosophy is better, especially in the mobile space. I am hoping Nvidia will be pressured to go that direction.
[Nook Color General] henel321:
Laughing my ass off! All the reactions in this thread really made my day.. :p

Now go back to fixing the wifi issues... :D
[Nook Color General] s52m3:
I see thanks for the explanation. I'm a developer by trade myself, but I'm on the .NET side of things so all of this is like Chinese to me :) Is the Linux kernel # tied to the Android release in any way? or can any (or at least a number of) kernel work with any Android release (2.2, 2.3 etc)? I'm not sure what DMA stands for, but does this mean that the nook will not be able to get 2.6.32 to make your CM7 development life easier? Also those "nightly" numbered releases we see, I'm assuming they are specific to the nook? Who is responsible for merging the device specific code with the main branch to produce the nook zip file? Or did I get it all wrong and the zip file is not device specific and the merging is done the other way from device specific into the "main"?

Hope you don't mind all the questions, just trying to wrap my head around CM7 development :)
[Nook Color General] dalingrin:
Despite common belief Android releases are not tied to specific kernels. For the most part the kernels do not change their general interfaces that the userspace programs to use. This means any number of kernel versions will work for a particular Android release. Our problem is that there are several significant bugs in our kernel that manifests differently with different versions of Android. One major bug was squashed before the first CM7 nightly was released. Interestingly, neither Froyo nor Eclair caused the bug to happen even though the issue was very low level(cache coherency). Another major bug that has caused us problems is an issue with sleep and resume. Sleep is buggy in the kernel for all versions of Android but it is far worse in Gingerbread. This bug is seemingly fixed even in our homemade 2.6.32 Nook kernel so I expect B&N 2.6.32 to fix it as well.

In terms of managing nightlies, it is all scripted at this point. Android is broken up into several projects, each with their own version control repository. The Nook specific code is in its own repository. The build system is a series of scripts that use variables to know what parts to link together. This is part of what the device developers have to set up.
[Nook Color General] s52m3:
Makes sense. So if I'm understanding correctly there could be another repository for CM7 targeting a different device that might have completely different release numbers and could be say much further along in its development than CM7 for the nook. In other words the common base is always the latest, but that's about it.
[Nook Color General] lanzagas:
Thanks for the explanation.

I wonder at the qa of such complex web of components.

How do you manage the qa of each component?

And how much of it is based on good faith estimated?
[Nook Color General] botossi:
Dal, i think the bug is fixed in the B&N 1.2 updated... battery life is lasting "forever" now... at least in my observations the battery is going far better in 2.2 than in 2.1.... will be nice having the new kernel source for evaluation...

And keep up with the EXCELENT work !!! :D

[Nook Color General] :
From what I've found (trying to compile, only to find it's tough/impossible to do it on windows), there's a git repo that holds the core components of CM7. From there (due to hardware variation) there are specific branches that contain things for the device (encore in our case). You can clone a branch to work on things, then submit for review, get it commited to the main code, etc.

Fun to follow along for your device(s)!

[Nook Color General] akarol:
I think the price margin for newer tablets and the NC is closing in and the NC is no longer a worthwhile investment for a tablet. The new Archos 7" costs about the same for a full tablet experience. I'm not surprised that developers are bailing ship and moving to something more worthwhile. I, myself, might be doing the same soon. =/
[Nook Color General] Divine_Madcat:
Really? I was unaware of other Tablets for $250 (or less) with high quality IPS screens, and specs of tablets $200 more... huh...

Thanks very much for all your work on this, Dal.

Is there any interest in getting iptables support in one of the kernels now that the new source is out? I'd love to be able to use some of the firewall apps. I've only tried crosscompiling once, and that didn't work out well at all (tried to roll an ssh server for an old Promise SmartStor), and I have no idea how easy, hard or impossible it is to do for the nook (yet.)
