[Nook Color General] pixeljunk:
I've been Googling and searching as many different forums as possible. Just can't find a solution.

Is it possible to keep the Nook itself at stock and dual boot two versions of CM7 from the SD card? I'm sharing the Nook with someone else and it's been a pain trying to keep everything separate. We did dual boot from the EMMC and SD for awhile. But to be honest there is very little, if any, performance loss on the SD. So we're hoping we can dual boot off of that instead and keep the Nook itself at stock. Mainly I'm just paranoid about any hardware failures and voiding the warranty.

Is this possible at all?
[Nook Color General] kimberlim:
very doable. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=987735 shows one way. with a boot menu you wouldn't even have to swap out sd cards

hmmm, try this link

[Nook Color General] pixeljunk:
Thanks for the reply. Though that entire thread confuses the heck out of me.

Essentially I'm trying to:

1. Leave the Nook at stock. Completely untouched.

2. Install two totally independent versions of CM7 onto a single SD card. One for myself, and another for the person I'm sharing the Nook with.

3. Be able to boot between the two. This would give us both our own apps, settings, etc.

I did see a thread with a dual boot Phiremod / Honeycomb SD image. So I know it's possible. Perhaps it's totally out of my league though. It would be REALLY NICE if there was a "profiles" or "user account" feature in Android. Like in Windows / Mac / Linux / etc.

I can dual boot between the EMMC and SD card just fine. And it looks like I may need to just do that. I'm just super paranoid about running into a hardware failure and not being able to use the warranty. (Bad screen, broken power button, whatever.) I've been known to have all sorts of bad luck when it comes to electronics. :)
[Atrix 4G General] greyhulk:
I've been rocking my Atrix for a few weeks. I was using an Inspire previously and I just wanted better battery life, a smaller form factor (and lighter), and a front-facing camera.

Long story short, I've been testing the piss out of this thing to make sure it's the device for me. I really have no complaints about hardware and I have even learned to live with Motoblur (with the right launcher covering it up).

The GPS on this thing is simply amazing. It locks onto Satellites indoors within seconds, outside instantly. I even got a lock today in my work, which is in a sky scraper. Even my iPhone never got a lock there. This is with Wifi off, by the way.

I remembered from my Droid X that Moto knows how to make a GPS, but it still surprises me how good it is. I compared it side-by-side with my Inspire and my Focus and neither one could get a solid lock in my house and both were off by quite a bit.

Atrix FTW. As cool as the Galaxy S II looks, I have a feeling that the GPS won't be anywhere near as good and then I'd be back to that "too big for one hand" form factor.
[Atrix 4G General] s1mpd1ddy:
yeah i pretty much abandoned my Garmin Nuvi 220W..

in other news ---- anyone want to buy a Garmin Nuvi 220W?
[Atrix 4G General] KingKuba13:
Yes, GPS is super solid and very accurate.

Look at Garmin's stock chart. ;)
[Atrix 4G General] blunted09:
i have used mine several times and it is bulletproof!
[Atrix 4G General] ccrows:
Moto definitely is the best when it comes to GPS on Android, and Samsung is the worst. Only a Nokia e-series device beats it down (instant lock indoors anywhere).

Oh Nokia, why did you go all "Elopcalypse" and pass on Android... :(
[Atrix 4G General] greyhulk:
I had an E71, but I don't remember how good the GPS was. I do, however, remember how horrible it was on my Captivate. Everyone is saying that Samsung fixed it with the Infuse and Galaxy S II, but I'm wary. Even if it's not as worthless as the Captivate, I doubt it would be anywhere near as good as a Moto GPS.

Incidentally, Moto makes a standalone gps. I wonder if it's anywhere near as good at tracking as their phones.
[Atrix 4G General] Spectre51:
I agree. Just got my atrix last week and was very impressed with how quickly and accurately the GPS locks on. Much better than my previous Nexus One or Dell Streak.
[Atrix 4G General] naplesbill:
The Atrix GPS is definitely outstanding, but the Xperia X10 GPS is still the best I have seen in any mobile device (standalone GPS included). Samsung is definitely the worst.
[Atrix 4G General] bongd:
I went to the US which for me is a pretty huge deal (the roads in Canada are dead simple and the speed limit is very low). I felt so at home using Google Maps with the Navigation beta. **** was DEAD on everywhere we went.

Aside from when my phone died, it was awesome. Couldn't use GPS for about an hour on the way home because it was so low and needed to charge hahaha... was pretty scary. Was blitzed on pot brownies too LOL
[Atrix 4G General] rickwood:
I've got the car dock and I'm amazed by this gps. Sitting at a stop light I can let my car creep forward slowly. The gps is sensitive enough to register this and shows my speed as 1 mph. Just amazing. I took it on a 1200 mile trip, and it performed flawlessly! I love this phone! Definitely a huge improvement over my iPhone 3G. This phone routinely makes my wife and daughter jealous with their iPhone 4s.
[Atrix 4G General] stvmac11:
I am curious, what GPS software seems to be best for android? I've only ever played with Google Navigation, and it works great.
[Atrix 4G General] OSNPA:
I also have a Garmin Nuvi 220W that I can't even look at anymore. The Atrix GPS is flippin's sweet! No exaggeration that it's dead accurate. Traffic updates are scary good, even on sideroads in my area. I use it in the car dock for my daily commute, to get me ahead of the traffic curve. I thought it was off yesterday because there was no way it would take me 30 minutes to drive the last 5 miles home. Alas, the streets were flooded along a creek, and it told me precisely when the speeds would pick up again, so I stuck it out. +1000 internetz to Motorola for the GPS.
[Atrix 4G General] bimmerboii:
Agree. X10 has the best instant lock without using agps or any network assisst. But that phone is now forgotten lol. Atrix comes second to it with regards to gps :)
[Atrix 4G General] ChongoDroid:
It gets to 20 meters when I'm at school! On my n1 it would fluctuate around 100!

[Atrix 4G General] Mgamerz:
Coming from a Nokia N810 (it had a GPS), I like the Atrix GPS. It's very accurate and locks super fast.

Though I wish Google would have a vector based map, as I don't want to consume a ton of data as I drive to Colorado next week...
[Atrix 4G General] zen kun:
yeah its amazing, perhaps something weird happen to me Stock take more a really more like indoor 2-5 minutes, ouside like 1 minute but i flashed telstra radio from MOD to enable hspa+ and WOW amazing instant almost i didint believe this but its really amazing :D

now i need a car LOL
[Atrix 4G General] bradym239:
So how, if at all, will the move to Skyhook affect the Atrix? Think that will just affect future Motorola devices?
[Atrix 4G General] barry99705:
Pretty sure the latest versions of google maps are vector based. That's how they get away with the spinny stuff and angle changes.
[Atrix 4G General] barry99705:
As long as they keep the gps all skyhook is going to do is make getting a position from wifi faster.
[Atrix 4G General] daverod:
Google maps on android has been vector-based for a few months now.
[Atrix 4G General] frankiedizzle87:
Its great its my main gps I use it to get back and fourth 6 hour drives it's amazing I got the dock also to make the experience legendary
[Atrix 4G General] BravoMotorola:
Gosh, so nobody is screwed like me and gets "your location is temporarily unavailable? I get it all the time on Google Maps and Google Earth. Why do you think that is?
[Atrix 4G General] -Roze-:
I am sorry, I see a few people mention skyhook. Can someone please tell me what this is about?

Rocking my Bell Atrix!
[Atrix 4G General] Chubby_Skunk:
Yeah I noticed that the GPS was actually pretty damn good. the Galaxy S 1 had a sh*tty gps
[Atrix 4G General] Chubby_Skunk:
That pops up when your trying the use the GPS? Thats weird.... it says that you need to be able to see the sky when you try it... but it works when im in my basement. Maybe your GPS is defective?
[Atrix 4G General] mazdaspeed786:
how many hours of battery life do you guys get on avg while using GPS for example while driving and does you phone get pretty warm too?
[Atrix 4G General] bongd:
It gets pretty damn warm and it's a battery drainer for sure. I picked up a USB car charger from a friend and make sure to hook it up any time I'm driving with my phone mounted.

I would absolutely never try using GPS without a charger. It'll drain even the largest batteries with ease. When I use my GPS it's usually because it's dire and I don't know where the heck I am lol
[Atrix 4G General] draculahowsby:
comming from a vibrant you dont know how happy i was when i ran gps test on this thing
[Atrix 4G General] Digicrat:
I'm not sure if I've ever seen an actual error message, but I do occasionally see the gps lock-up on the phone and no matter what it will be unable to get a position lock.

In these cases, the only solution I've found is to reboot the phone and then I typically get an instant lock again. There was one time where even that didn't entirely work, but it did get a rough position lock so I'll chalk that one up to legitimate GPS signal issues (there were thunderstorms at the time).

This happened once while I was on the road - the GPS worked fine for an hour, and then just lost a signal. It took a bit of potentially unsafe juggling to reboot the phone, unlock it, and relaunch the gps when it booted up again. That fingerprint scanner doesn't work very well while the phone is sitting in a car mount (haven't sprung for the official car dock yet).
[Atrix 4G General] dandmcd:
I came from a crappy Samsung Moment where to actually get the GPS to function required the stars aligning just right, and lots of black magic. The Atrix GPS is dead on accurate and never drops on me almost everwhere I go. I took it on a trip to Chicago this last week, and it even kept a lock downtown next to skyscrapers, and if it did cut out, jumped back on within seconds, so I never once got lost or misdirected.

The combination of this phone's GPS and Google Navigation is absolutely amazing. I used Places, Tripadvisor, and Yelp to find popular restaurants, gas and coffee, and found every place without a hitch. I don't think I would have had anywhere near as good of a time if I didn't have my phone with me, because I was able to avoid the chains and tourist traps located centrally next to the hotels, and found Chicago's best food and entertainment even if it meant going down streets I had never knew existed.
[Atrix 4G General] Techcruncher:
In a later update, and on all future phones from motorola, google maps will be deleted. A 3rd party solution (think Vlingo instead of google text to speech) will replace google maps. Only on motorola
[Atrix 4G General] ChongoDroid:
Then we'll just download maps again. Root = problem solved

Until they take root from us were all good.

try reflashing after wiping properly cache/data cahe/sd ext/battery stats since we never had such issue wth 6.3 but now using 6.5 though and its very stable for me the best so far but just go for a clean install
[Optimus One, P500, V General] casanovaredefined:
This install was a fresh one. I had done a wipe all as well as completely reformatted the sd card as well. Still this can be true as all wipes are not completely effective

Will try again but as it isn't a show stopper, will wait until the next release or might be try 6.5 as well.

Clean install is wipe all or wiping cache/data cache/sd ext/battery be sufficient
[Optimus One, P500, V General] casanovaredefined:
Didn't help. Installed 6.5 after wiping all along with phone reset.

Does this rom have bugs other than FM radio? And could someone give step by step to install this rom?:rolleyes:

15.20 or 1.5.13

and is the camera works all lenses (red and green)?
[Defy Android Development] donP73:
red or green?!

Is your wife defy a green or red lens one?

And, have you rounded all or some of the numerous MIUI bugs?
[Defy Android Development] galnet:
This is the first time I've developed on the Defy, I haven't a clue what lens she has to be honest.. I don't take any notice of it.

As for bugs, my wife's phone is running Smooth, and UI is fast..! Sometimes faster than the SGS.. :(

clean installed, some parts are still on chinese! (and I have tried wipe cache and dalvik but some setting parts and options are in chinese!) but it looks smoother than the original miui version

going to try some games of gameloft
[Defy Android Development] donP73:
It's simple to know the lens type: you look at the camera lens with sunny light and you can notice if the colour is red or green... the two models have got two specific drivers... latest MIUI doesn't work with green lens and other developers had to replace drivers and libraries taking from 1.5.13 version...

And other bugs come from the fact that MIUI devs utilized old Quarx CM7 Github versions... (speakerphone not working with microphone at the same time, FM radio not workin [instead in beta6 of CM7 by Quarx it works]... and so on)...
[Defy Android Development] galnet:
Thanks for this information, it looks Green to me mate, if this helps!

I've just tested wifes Headset and it's working fine. Please remember though as I say this is the first time I've developed on this handset, and just done it for fun, hense it's v1

Once I get into the phone better you can be rest assured I will research everything about it and release updates to overcome bugs and issues ;)
