[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paulvandyk:
Guys,

I've just restored all data after reset using KIES, but I don't know why I had to set my settings from the beginning, ring tones, wallpapers, icons etc. Also all voices from Navigation Co Pilot were in Music with mp3 songs, total mess.

Do I have to do anything in device when I restore data and settings via KIES?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x4-FAo:
Here's a noon question

I been flashing roms since i got my nexus one.

I got this rom (dont remember the name) that already came with titanium back up app. When i restore my apps i didnt have to install all the apps one by one.

Was that a tweak? I love tring new roms but hate installing apps one by one.

Thanks in advance

Feature of the pro version. Installs and all subsequent action allows the batch mode.

Oh ok. I will buy the pro version then

THANKS!
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AmandaS378:
I am very interested in rooting my NC but have several questions that I cannot find answers to. Maybe you guys can help.

1. I know rooting voids the warranty. Can you restore to stock after rooting so they have no idea that you have rooted if a problem arises?

2. Can you still run BN apps after rooting? For example, I bought a Boynton book and still want to access and use it. Is that possible?

3. Does the software that I install with rooting update automatically or do I have to manually update the software every so often?

4. I have read that the Froyo option is best for NC. Is that true?

5. I am running software version 1.2.0 and my serial number begins with 2011. My model number is BNRV200. Is your Autonooter 3.0.0 for this version or is there another version?

Thanks for any and all help you can provide!!
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sibyy:
1. Yes you can restore it to stock, have a look around for the answer. Rooting theoretically voids your warranty. Though don't think B&N can find out, at least the average shop assistant won't

2. Well if you just root your device then it will still run the Nook firmware so the only change will be that you can install non-Nook market apps and run apps as root.

Now if you go on the root of installing a custom build e.g. CM7 you can still install the Nook app--like you can do on any android device--and have your library there.

3. Nope you will most likely have to update manually.

4. Well since Nook's update 1.2 it runs Froyo natively. CM7 is based on Gingerbread, while there is also Honeycomb but that is based on an SDK... I know I must have confused you more... so better go to the Android development section and have a read.

5. I would recommend ManualNooter: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1054027

Nice reply sid

Sent from my Nexus S for Netflix but really a NC.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AmandaS378:
Thank You sibby!! So, if I root and then need to manually update the software, how do I know when an update is available? Do I just have to keep up with it? I will read the info you suggested. Thanks so much again!!
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AmandaS378:
Another question. If I go with the manual root, then that isn't resetting the entire operating system (as it were) but just allowing me to install non market apps, correct? That is really all I want to do anyways.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brucemcl:
One way to get more out of a Nook Color is to run Cyanogenmod 7 off of an SD card. This does not require rooting, does not change the stock install at all, and does not void your warranty.

Installing the latest stable CM7 version with the "Size Agnostic SD Card" method is not very difficult, although it requires a microSD card reader on your computer.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NYDroidNoob:
Just got a Nook Color bnrv200rb

I have that same model number and was wondering if this advice still applies or if there has been a new release for auto-nooter that works with it or something. Thanks :)

If anyone is interested there is a new build for the WP7 music player for android. I love the design of the player, and from the little I have used it the app seems to work great on the Fascinate.

Source: Fede Carnales

https://twitter.com/#%21/fedecarnales/status/71367506698317824

There is also another version over at WP7Android that I was oblivious to. It is in closed beta but it looks great and I can't wait for it to be released

http://wp7android.com/apps/

Edit: Source link added, Picture removed.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] lucas.scott:
For what its worth .. the one in our wp7android project has wwaaay more features :)

Ours is still in closed beta, but is way ahead of this one. He is a great developer though. I'm sure it will get there.

Actually ... your screenshot is of our app ...from a pirating site ...
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] farewell_goodbye2u:
I downloaded this earlier and this is the newest app that Fede (maker of Launcher Pro) is making. Its in Beta but I'm liking it so far. Still end up using Poweramp. Unless, this is a different app than Fede's, proper credit should be given imo.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] lucas.scott:
The app he linked to is Fede's . The screenshot is ours which has been taken from a pirating site where it leaked . Search market for Zplayer . We had to stop updating it there because of all the leaks .

I was only saying ours as of now is ahead of Fede's ... and the screenshot is of ours . Since with his , you can see the notification bar and the word music is smaller . Ours is full screen (as pictured above) and the word music is larger . Trust me, i know my own groups apps when i see them ;)

Good start from Fede though . Like i said , he is a good dev and im sure it will get better with more options . We are doing the entire UI , not just the media player .
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] farewell_goodbye2u:
No no. I apologize. I was referring to the op as far as given credit where its due. Didnt mean for it to come out like that. Lol. Srry. Awesome work nonetheless tho man. Cant wait to see it when finished. Ill def download it (paid or not). Thats crazy that u stumble upon a thread thats linking to a download of an app of your own that has been pirated and distributed around the interwebs. I dont know if id be pissed or flattered. Lol.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] lucas.scott:
OP did nothing wrong . The one he linked to isnt ours :)

The screenshot just opens up a sore spot haha . You should join over to wp7android.com and check out our Zune app and others .

I was a little irritated since we have been working so hard on our apps , then when a well known dev releases a watered down version it gets freakin Engadget front page coverage .

*Sigh*

But what are you gonna do right ? We just have to step up our marketing game :D
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] farewell_goodbye2u:
Ohh. I see now. Ok then. No harm no foul. I can see your frustration. Thats honestly how I found it. Through Phandroid news app/widget. I will def join up man. If there is anyway I can help , let me know. Ill pass the word along too. Im sure alot of my friends and fam would enjoy this as well. Whats your twitter sn?
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] farewell_goodbye2u:
Awesome site man! Wish I would have known of this earlier.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] fearofcups:
I apologize for the picture, I just pulled something random off of google images in case people were unaware of the UI. I also added source and links to WP7Android. I had never heard of the site until today but it looks awesome. When your app comes out of beta I will definitely be first in line to buy it.

Again, apologies for the post, I did not mean to discredit anyone
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] lucas.scott:
No worries man ... thanks for the plug in the OP though :)
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Lemo777:
So is the zplayer in the market your version or the pirated one ?
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] lucas.scott:
Zplayer in the market is ours. But we haven't updated it there because of piracy. But, we realize there is really no realistic way to stop piracy .. it's part of the world. So we have some math to change in the scrolling and it will be updated there. That should be pretty soon. I have an internal test build now ... but when we fixed scrolling, it broke something else haha. So that will be worked out soon and pushed to the market.

Also, I'm working with the guys on a little promotion to give the wp7 lock screen away for free. Im running a test now and its awesome. So as soon as I get it cleared with the others, I will post details.

[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Lemo777:
good, i bought it. still a bit laggy but i bet there are bugfix versions coming ;-)

I wonder how the recognition of artists and cover arts is working... since it doesnt seem to really work (on fedes neither).

I dont have id3 tags for all mp3, but at least the name of the artist and song title as mp3 name. i guess the easiest way would be to look for plausible names here as well right ? this doesnt work, also if it must display a cover art, then a generic and not 200 times the same that is completely wrong by the way

cheers
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] PeterGunz:
For some reason I thought what you were working on was associated with Launcher 7, but I see that you are going to have a completely different launcher. Pretty exciting. How is it different exactly? (I've never used a Windows 7 Phone, just Launcher 7 on Android)

Should we just follow your site for updates, or is there an XDA thread?
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] lucas.scott:
Did you hit the menu key at the hub screen? That should open settings and you cab select the artwork and artist images to download. Works for me like a charm.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] lucas.scott:
The main difference is ours is not just a launcher. We are working on a suite of amps to change the overall ui to wp7. We love the looks of the os, but don't want to leave android for it. So the idea is to mix the best of both worlds.

The lock screen (posted above) promotion will probably start tonight or tomorrow. We got it to a point last night where we are comfortable with releasing it.... for free even :) . So if you haven't done so yet. Sign up at our website. WWW.wp7android.com and check the details out there . I also got a deal with theultralinx.com, so the info will be posted there as well.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] lucas.scott:
Lock screen promotion has officially launcher guys . Head here :

http://wp7android.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=66&t=113

for details . Ill post a separate thread as well .. hopefully i dont get mods all over me for advertising . They seem to shut us down around every corner ... even after giving us the front page .
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] davidstre:
You really did hijack this thread and use it for shameless self promotion. You said your app was better than fedes and now you are posting about something completely unrelated...a lockscreen? come on man :/ thats in really bad taste. just make your own thread and leave it be. this is the same thing the mods cracked down on lesscro for over in the winmo forums. he would go to any thread with anything wp7 and advertise his own stuff instead....hed push his own PAID apps in threads started for FREE apps.

Now....Fedes player is pretty good for an alpha. I cant use it as my default player yet, but it runs smooth, no force closes or anything just a lack of features

so for some reason i attempted to ask Motorola, and now they think my phone is broken...lol

before you ask why i don't really know
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] elkay:
I'd hold off until further reviews. I got mine Thursday and so far hate it. It's running no faster than the original, and in some cases slower. LauncherPro is force closing a lot, as well as the browser. The screen is awful. It's brighter, but the saturation is WAY off and makes everything unnatural. It's also not even 16.7M colors, looks to be 16-bit color. Everything is littered with poor gradients and artifacting because of it. Any text that is in color (not simply black or white) is extremely jagged because of it, too. The phone also reboots whenever I turn off my car without turning off bluetooth first. I had none of these problems with my original DX and haven't installed or done anything differently that was done on that phone.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] grandlarceny77:
No offense or anything but im not to sure what's wrong with your phone I have not had a single issue with this phone yet. Its way faster then the fascinate that's I had and yes this doesn't look as good as the fascinate but love the keyboard and the size of the screen. Runs smooth for me. The letters look no different from any other phone I have had other then the phone 4. Im enjoying this phone and for me there's nothing really to look forward to for phone in my opinion.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] infazzdar:
I would recommend taking that back to Verizon, seems like you have some hardware errors to me
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] elkay:
It's not hardware problems, and the display problems are very obvious if you compare side by side with a DX1 or another phone that supports 16.7M. Just look at the battery icon. The green color is produced by alternating green-dark-green-dark pixels instead of the same shade for each pixel across. It produces images that are painful to look at. The text is easy to see, too. Just go to google and do a search. The dark blue highlighted links are very jagged. Here's an obvious test for the color depth problem:

Load this picture in your browser, and then load it on your phone. You will see a smooth image on your computer (unless your monitor isn't 16.7M, either) and you will see horrible banding problems on your DX2.

http://bwrc.eecs.berkeley.edu/People/Grad_Students/wrdavis/ray/24b.jpg

As far as the crashing and force-closes go, it *may* be due to LauncherPro, but I have never had problems with it up until now, and I'll be disappointed if I can't use it going forward. I've also read other reviews from people saying the phone doesn't appear to perform any better than the DX for normal phone use. Regardless, this horrible screen is a deal killer for me.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] elkay:
Green seems to be the most susceptible to the banding problem. Viewing this image on a computer or DX and then on the DX2 makes the problem even more blatantly obvious:

http://www.droidforums.net/gallery/data/518/MEGA-GreenGradient.png

Viewing this page makes the text problem VERY obvious:

http://bcn.boulder.co.us/community/tools/colors/sccscgrn.htm

You can't deny it's a lower quality screen. Brighter does not mean better quality.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] elkay:
A-HA! I think I've discovered why this is happening, and it IS a hardware limitation. The technology is called "pentile" and can be read about here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PenTile_matrix_family

After reading this, it's obvious why the green is having the largest issue with displaying properly. The Atrix apparently uses the same display and people are complaining about that one, too. Google has plenty of hits on it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ZeroOveride:
Wow. Got mine of Saturday and have to say all the opposite feelings. The screen is amazing. I would say it is on par with my iPhone 4's but I think the colors are better.

I think you got a bad device, I have mine rooted and it has the best Quadrant Score I've ever gotten (2755 http://yfrog.com/gy70tqwj ). The text is clear for me without any problems and have had no force closes on Launcher Pro or to the device itself. Bluetooth works flawlessly with my Pioneer in car system as well. I would say go and return it and get a replacement.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] elkay:
Did you click on any of the test images that I posted? And I'll say again, brighter isn't always better. The colors are very exaggerated, way too over-saturated. I'd take the iPhone 4 screen over this. At least it's more color-accurate and doesn't have the banding and green pixel problems that this has. Load the green text page that I linked and compare it to another android phone and you'll see just how bad it is.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] elkay:
Perfect examples of what's going on. The image quality difference is blatantly obvious. The DX1 display is the same as the top examples in each photo, the DX2 display is the same as the bottom ones.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hax0red:
I noticed the screen while playing with a demo unit before trading my 3 day old cdma iphone 4 in. I decided it was probably the new resolution not being utilized by android properly since its probably based off the droid x and had been rushed out after so many tegra delays. I say wait for ota update to 2.3 before drawing any conclusions. that all said, the iPhones resolution is amazing but it's terrible in the light and the 3g data speeds were horrible. Both phones side by side with full bars the iphone has a latency of 500+ droid was 110 range, iphone 4:

.8 megabits

Droid x2:

2.3+ megabits

As for the speed of the phone I'm consistently getting over 2700 peaking at 3054 with airplane mode enabled, gps off and all the poorly coded widgets from motorola removed from all home screens. I'm still disappointed by the available memory (ram). The highest free was 130's with an average of 70mb. To me this indicates room for improvement and further proof that the OS is far from optimized so I'm looking forward to the 2.3 roms released here and ota.

I got a max of 712 for gpu in quadrant which is disappointing since the original galaxy s scored in the 800's. I expected more from nvidia but the galaxy was probably modified and google supposedly improved gaming with android 2.3.

So what are you guys getting in quadrant? How much free ram can you get?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] elkay:
It's a hardware limitation, no OTA can fix it. It would require a hardware revision. Read my link a few posts up that goes to a wiki about the pentile display. The pixels are literally in a different configuration inside the display.

As far as memory goes, I think that might be part of my problem somehow with the performance. I'm sitting at 9% free at idle (31MB), and notice when I exit just about any app, LauncherPro needs to reload all my widgets. I think it's being forced to dump everything when I load an app to free up memory for it. Odd thing is - I have the exact same widgets loaded on my DX and don't experience any of these problems. When you use a new launcher, the old launcher doesn't stay in memory does it? (i.e. motoblur staying in memory) I have all my motoblur homescreens blank.

Going back to what I said before about the screen, I'll take image quality over brightness. I never minded cupping my hand over the top of the display when I was in direct sunlight (which I rarely had to do anyway). I still think the DX1 display is beautiful, and far better than the DX2.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] gevis:
Elkay, I think what you're noticing is that the qHD screen must have the same issues that the Super Amoled does. I for one love the colors, although technically they're oversaturated or whatever. It's a phone, not a TV, so I don't really mind. It looks colorful and nice.

But yes, depending on how close you're looking, and whether you actually care or not, you can see the....rigidity? of the pixels sometimes, depending on what colors are being displayed.

Sadly for you, that's the way they make the new screens apparently, so if you don't like it, you'll have to stick with something else.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] elkay:
Correct, mostly. Most of the Super Amoled displays do use pentile technology, but it isn't required for them. They can still use the standard pixel layout, most companies just chose not to.
