The short answer to your question is: f*Co yeah!

Its simple really, if your good at following instructions then you have a 00.01% chance of breaking your device, therefore why not.

Now since you took the effort of registering here, which is all about tweaking, moding( you name it, there is a mod for that too), it would be a shame that you'll go back to using some thing that you don't like (winmo) for another year, just because you don't have the guts?

If you're going to invest the effort I'd just go nand, you can always reflash windows. I'd go with typhoon or hyperdroid, both solid cyanogen based roms. Otherwise you'll just waste time setting up SD install only to have to redo it. My 2c

transition in steps

+1 for going with American Android SD version of Gingerbread.

I first tried a RAM version and was impressed, but AmericanAndroid is as smooth and stable as you can get with an SD build.

Love it and my phone is amazing with it!

Instructions are clear in the first post and there is really no chance of bricking your phone.

Live with it for a while and if you then feel like you want more...then try a NAND build.

Good luck...you won't regret it!!!

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] digitaleagle.net:
I am kind of new at this, but here's my two cents.

If you know you don't like the Windows OS, you may as well commit to a NAND ROM. Someone can correct me if I am wrong, but I got the impression, the SD ROMs were hard to reboot. Don't you have to boot into Windows and run a file to boot the Android? Maybe I just didn't read all of the boot loader options.

Another thing I learned is that you probably want to try a ROM without Sense to start with. My first approach was to go for the slickest ROM since I had a nice new slick phone. Looking back, I should have gotten something stable working to see Android work, and then, I could have tried the Sense 3.0 ROM. Just a thought.

Another frustration I had was finding a full set of directions. I am like you in that I can follow directions, but I had trouble with all the different directions. Some ROMs need to flash a partition. Some are SD-based and you follow a totally different set of instructions. It sounds like you have already done enough reading to get past this point, but you might consider the completeness of the instructions that come with the ROM when you select the ROM you want to use.

I hope those thoughts help.

Hello,

I am having a problem with my SD card. I am currently running TripNMiUI Iris 1.09 with baseband .54. The rom is working fine, but it seems tht my 16 GB class 2 micro-sd card is not being recognized by my phone. It recognizes my 4GB class 4 micro-sd card just fine, but when I insert the 16 gb one it doesnt even recognize that I put a card in. Someone please help me. My computer recognizes the 16 gb card and even transfer around 4gb of music to it. Both cards are formatted in FAT32.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JowBe:
I have a G Ttablet and today received a Nook Color. Since I live in the boonies, my fast internet connection consists of a Verizon USB wireless CDMA modem. From there I set up an ad hoc wifi network on my laptop.

My problem is that my Nook cannot see this ad hoc network, and I can't even get past the registration phase on my Nook color. I find this very odd because I don't have any trouble with my G Tab and haven't for the past month. When I input the SSID of my network, the Nook tells me it is out of range, almost like it isn't even searching for it. I tried powering it off and on and going through the part where it scans for networks but still no luck. My ad hoc network is not secured so that's not the problem.

B&N is no help because their advice is basically to take it to a B&N store or somewhere else and connect there. But, as I have said, I live in the boonies and this is not a very easy option for me.

Does anyone have any ideas on why the Nook can't see the network, even though my G Tab can? Is the wifi radio in my Nook broken? I read on here that Androids have trouble with ad hocs so is that the reason? But it's not like it just can't connect, but that it can't even see the network. Is there any other choice other than getting in the car and driving 2 hours to a public wifi hotspot just to register this nook? And even if I do, does this mean that it is a useless toy at home?

Thanks.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] I Am Marino:
I'm not sure what the issue is, I always thought Android did have ad hoc troubles?

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JowBe:
Ok. So I can't make my nook see my ad hoc network. But I found out how to skip the registration process, and I managed to get into the nook. For those interested it is very well described over at the nookdevs website. After a careful look over what B&N included on there, I think I will go ahead and flash a new ROM. Or I might root it. Maybe. Probably I will sleep on it. I really would like to bring it up to date before I start changing things.

I am hoping that ROMS like CM7 have fixed the Wifi problem on the nook.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JowBe:
While that may be true for stock Android which I don't know, it most certainly is not true for custom ROMs. As I mentioned, I have my G Tablet working just fine on my ad hoc network.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jared_c:
Yup, the stock ROM from B&N won't even show ad hoc networks. There's some instructions on http://nookdevs.com/Portal:NookColor aboit enabling ad hoc on stock, but that will likely require rooting and adb access first. Both of those should be covered there as well.

I'm pretty sure that CM7 has ad hoc working. I would recommend installing that to a class 2 SD card, you can leave the stock rom on the internal flash chip (emmc) untouched. See http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1000957
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JowBe:
Thanks for the advice. Yeah, CM7 must have ad hoc working because that's the base on my G Tab (though I'm not sure about Nook color, but I think it must), and it runs smoothly most of the time. The times when there are problems are my fault for forgetting and not turning on ICS properly on my PC.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tonyg2160:
If it's working I need some help...I'm running Phiremod 6.3. Which, as I understand it, is based off of CM7 7.0.3. Ad-hoc does NOT work for me. I've seen posts and such stating that it does. Am I missing something? If not, I think it's debatable as to whether or not ad hoc is working with the latest CM7 or Phiremod.

So I've noticed that the Google Music offline cache is located in /sdcard/Android/data/com.google.android.music/cache/music. This should be accessible to other apps, and in fact if I browse to that location with PowerAMP I can see the downloaded files and play them perfectly fine. However, on both my DX (GB) and Xoom, the system media scanner refuses to pick these up, so they never show up in the library for any apps but the official one. I've tried rebooting and using apps to run a manual scan, but no luck.

Has anyone gotten this to work?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] antimatter3009:
Forget the bump, I figured it out. Turns out there are .nomedia files in /sdcard/Android/data/ and /sdcard/Android/data/com.google.android.music/cache/music. Removed both of those and the scanner now picks it up. No more hand copying music for me!

Good to know. Does anyone know if/how I can copy music to my phone to make it available via the Google music app without having to pin the songs on my phone and then have it download from the cloud? I have the music files also saved on my computer, but it looks like the music app is renaming the files with some sort of numbering scheme.

I would assume that the online/offline settings are saved in some sort of a database file. This makes me think that if I just copy the music to the google cache folder it is not going to register properly in the google music app. Has anyone tried this, or am I stuck having to download them from the cloud again?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bkh1969:
Google Music Importer

Check out the app which makes this task easy.

The ID3 tag information is stored in Google Music's database on the phone. The app accesses that database and applies the proper ID3 tags and artwork to the cache files you're talking about.

With all that information added, the app moves the files to a public folder on your sdcard so that the Android Media Service Provider can see the files. The files then become available to any player on the device.

[Galaxy Tab Accessories] VDub2174:
I was given the opportunity to review the ACTIVE Case for the Samsung Galaxy Tab by Seidio. I’ve purchased other cases before but they did not fully have what I wanted in a case. Seidio asked if i wanted to review a case for them and I happy to do so. Once the case came in, I was in love. It has everything I wanted in a case and more!

Interior Casing

The first part of the ACTIVE Case is the Interior Casing. It’s a rubber sleeve that absorbs shock if you drop your tab. This sleeve slips onto your tab very easily and , in my opinion, is a must-have for any case and tab owner. A tab can be heavily damaged if dropped and this casing prevents that from happening. The Interior Casing also has holes for all ports and camera so there’s no need to remove it when connecting a charger or earphones. Also, there are power and volume buttons etched into the casing to make them easy to locate when your tab is in the casing. Lastly, the Interior Casing fits right around the edges of the tab so it doesn’t block the capacitive buttons. People like myself that have had a case that makes it difficult to press the capacitive buttons will be happy to see how much space the casing doesn’t take up.

Hard Exterior Skeleton

The second part to the ACTIVE Case is the Hard Exterior Skeleton. This part snaps on top of the Interior Casing for added protection. This makes it so that if you were to drop your tab, the back and corners would be even more protected from impact. To me, this is a necessity while traveling because you never know when you’ll drop your tab. I like how there’s a hole for the camera lens in this as well so you don’t have to remove the exterior skeleton to take pictures. Seidio definitely had the picture/video junkies in mind when they thought of this.

Convertible Mounting Cover

The third and final part of the ACTIVE Case is the Convertible Mounting Cover and this part is my favorite! This cover is the icing on the cake. The most obvious function of the Convertible Mounting Cover is that it protects the screen once snapped on to the front of your tab. It is very durable and and rugged. The second function of the Convertible Mounting Cover is it acts as a stand. One thing I look for in a case is if it doubles as a stand. Inside the cover there’s an adjustable support tab so you can angle your tablet to your desired height. This is perfect if you use your tab at your desk like me.

Final Thoughts

Out of the cases that I’ve owned before, the ACTIVE Case is by far the best case! Although it has different layers to it, they all snap together to keep things neat and clean. I’ve been looking for a case that not only protects my tab, but that is also very versatile. The only downside I can see with this case is the fact that it’s a little heavy compared to other cases. That’s a small price to pay when you have a case that does and has everything. I’m glad Seidio presented me with the opportunity to review this case for them.

In the few seconds it tried to startup I have tried to get ADB to see it, and no luck with that either.

So Im wondering if anyone has run into this issue and solved it, or if anyone has any ideas?

Also im not worried about damaging the device any further so even if the idea is way off im not worried.

On my atrix there are multiple APN's. There's AT&T US, AT&T US HSDPA, AT&T US Tether, and AT&T US MMS. They're all pretty much self explanatory except for the difference between AT&T US and US HSDPA; what's the difference? Also, does the phone switch between APN's automatically if you tether or use mms?

I tried creating a new APN so I could tether without buying a tethering plan using the settings here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11493471&postcount=193

Do I need to set up a new one because the default APN will switch to AT&T US Tether and AT&T will track that?

That actually didn't work, my computer only has limited connectivity when it connects to the network. Does anyone know why? I'm thinking of trying Barnacle Tether if I can't get the APN to work, but will AT&T be able to see I'm tethering if I use that?
[Networking] boborone:
Tether is for them to know you are tethering using at&t's method. That way they can monitor usage. Hspa is 4g. Install custom rom and use mobileap. If not, root and use android wifi tether.

That thread is a how to, and already has the PD98IMG.zip files created. Just download the radio you want, put it on your SD, and boot to HBoot and follow the onscreen prompts.

If the radio you want isn't listed, go here (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=877295) and get the radio you want. Also download one of the PD98IMG.zip files from the previous post. Delete the radio.img file out of the PD98IMG.zip, and drag and drop the new radio.img into PD98IMG.zip (I use 7zip, but winrar should work too). Now you have a flashable PD98IMG.zip with the radio you want

but I never installed any custom roms or anything. second possibility, is that the sd card I had was bad. I am switching to a different one at the moment, so we can at least see if that does anything. in the meantime, does anyone know what the problem may be, possibly even a solution?

NVM...figured out the answer to my own stupid question. I wish I could delete the post. LOL

Okay, the original question was based on upgrading my NC from a nightly build about a month ago to a the most recent nightly 85. However, in looking under the "About this tablet" section I was confused and couldn't tell if the update was successful or not. I didn't lose any information and all my programs were still there, so I assumed it failed. The info showed kernal 2.6.32.9, the mod version was cyanogenmod-7-05232011-nightly-encore, and the build number was ghj22. So I was like WTF? Is this build 85 or not?

Then I realized that 05232011 wasn't just a string of numbers but rather a date and when I looked at nightly build 85...sure enough, that was the date it was published. So...question answered.

So I felt stupid for having to ask...and then more stupid when I realized the obviousness of my answer. :(
