I sideload books into the Nook's folder and they show up in the Droid app but not in the actual Books section (under my files or something similar). However since B&N borked the latest client I started using FBreader for my non-DRMed books anyway.

I just loaded CM7 booting from an uSD Card. It seems that the ebooks folder is for the ebooks as there is a sample there. However I do not see this folder when the uSD card is in my computer. The question is how do I move my epub book collection in the Nook, ie onto the uSD card

[Later] Ok I just emailed the book I was reading on previous Nooter setup and I was able to import it into Aldiko; however there must be a better way. I have a 4GB card there and most of it seems empty yet Windows viewable folders are not viewable from Nook Filemanager. Ideas?

Just ordered a transformer from Target after finding out thru their CS that the price on line of 449.99 on Target .com is the new Mfg Sugg Retail price They were the only one with units in stock. Amazon is now asking 299.99 for the dock. Wow they are really gouging buyers. What do you guys think about this? :confused:
[Eee Pad Transformer General] krighton:
i wouldn't call it Amazon that's selling the dock for $299...amazon sellers maybe.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] tenbeau:
Probably so but you are directed to the Amazon site for Asus EEE Transformer dock.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Segnaro:
MSRP increase due to popularity isn't unheard of, but I think Target is just trying to cash in. ;)

The dock prices are from 3rd party sellers not Amazon.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] nook-color:
If they bump the price up $50.00 - it's closer to the price of the Samsung tab retail price by only 50 bucks.

The demand might drop a bit - I know I'd consider a lighter - thinner Samsung tab - if the difference is 50 rather than 100 bucks between the two.

I just ordered a 16gb from Sears for 389 or something around there
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Artood2s:
I was actually going to hold off on the TF even with the $100 difference. What changed? The reviews of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 LE (given free at I/O) pointed out that their wifi-only unit did not have a microSD slot. They concluded that the regular black model would be the same and only the 3G models would come with it. That plus no HDMI support was an absolute deal-breaker.

They also pointed out that their units came with Tegra 2 and not Sammy's latest (as seen on Galaxy SII). It would make sense for the production versions to follow suit as well.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Nauxer:
Hello,

my magic is in really bad shape after some bad decisions:

After wiping and flashing Yoshi's Gingerbread 7.1 the phone started to reboot itself randomly. It worked perfectly with previous versions of this rom. Reading the forums some people said it had to do with the recovery and how some didn't wipe certain partitions, and recomended to use Clockwork recovery instead. Here's the first bad decision, I was lazy and used the market app to flash it (rom manager?), and since then I couldn't boot into recovery any more.

Now, after wiping every partition I can't use adb, and being unable to flash anything with fastboot ("FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)"), what can I do?

With fastboot boot recovery it freezes in "booting...". I also tried flashing the recovery through terminal emulator, didn't work (throwed lot of hex addresses).

You cand download the RUU from here:

I called Netflix customer service today to ask what's up with only certain android devices being supported. They gave me a bull**** reason but also told me the 10.1 will be the first tablet supported! Lets hope dude wasn't just blowing smoke.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] schwiz:
Yes that is what prompted me to call. Still none of ly devices supported.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Nate2:
I think the reason they don't support more devices at the same time is because it would exhaust available 3G bandwidth. Poor bandwidth would make Netflix look bad too. The carriers might have had a say in the matter.

just spoke to a Netflix rep. to summarize, he said that they are very aware that tons of people are looking for a Honeycomb app, and that they have offered the major manufacturers (Samsung, HTC, Motorola..) the necessary things to integrate Netflix, and that it's up to the manufacturers to decide if they would like to implement the DRM needed to run Netflix. but since some of these manufacturers, Samsung for example, are planning on a media hub.. the Netflix rep said that Samsung might see it as competition to their own offerings. so we should all contact both Samsung and Netflix to let them know how badly we want Netlifx.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] madsquabbles:
as long as it comes to one hc device i'm sure we'd be seeing it run on all unsupported hc tablets.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Vlad_z:
Did he say what exactly is wrong with Android DRM support? Software or hardware components?

Because Tegra 2 based tablets running GB kind of have it and can play Netflix no problem. I can assume that this is luck of HC software libs.

So, older versions of Android have it and newer don't? Sounds like BS and all this talks become really annoying

Netflix points finger to Samsung/Motorola, manufacturers to Google... all in all shows how they really care about us - paying customers.

Why spend $500.00 on newest HC tablet if it cannot do what $250.00 one can and why should we care who's fault this is.

I've had Netflix working on my rooted Captivate for a few months now.

I used this thread for the file: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1076150

...and I can't find it at the moment, but another thread that directed me to download ES File Explorer, edit a system file to rename the device to a Netflix supported device, save, and reboot. Once I completed all that, I was able to stream Netflix like a charm.

Perhaps these steps could also work for our tabs? I haven't rooted mine yet, otherwise I would have tried this. Perhaps tonight.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Vlad_z:
Captivate runs GB? Do you think nobody have tried Netflix on HC already and there is some "magical" mod left to try?

You would be #1 if you report Netflix is working on your gtablet 10.1.
[Palm Treo 750] Paisley Pirate:
I just got an old Palm 750 for ATT that I used successfully with my sim card... but it came with WM5, and I wanted to update it to WM6 (ATT 2.25) ... seems simple, right?

Well, after finally finding the update (not so simple, due to Palm and MS being pissy at each other) I tried to run the update... the only problem is, the phone says it already HAS 2.25 on it... and when trying the usb updater, it goes for about 10 seconds, says you already have 2.25 on it, and exits...

So, any ideas about how to get the darn thing to load WM6.x on this thing? My other problem is I don't have a mini card right now, I only have an 8gb Micro (from my old centro).

The other thing is that it would NOT sync at all with my Win7 x64 Ult machine, but does fine with my XP netbook... not a biggie, just a pain... I'm more concerned about getting the final updated WM6.x on this thing.

Thanks in advance. I appreciate any help.

After that you can use any RoM. No need of ATT.

You can find this rom here:

You MUST Sync!!!! I do use W7 64 ultm and it works. reinstall it(the WMDC i mean).

Also search for this file:

This is an update to WMDC to Vista and W7 64.

After update to WM6 you can try any custom WM6.53 of the development area. Try the Hermann one.
[General Topics] killswitch11:
OK wasn't sure if I wanted to post in an existing thread or ask this in a new one. Obviously I chose the latter. I'm gonna kind of play Devils Advocate here and wonder aloud: If the carriers are leaning on manufacturers to lock down their bootloader, kernels, etc... mainly because people are using the Hotspot and Tethering features without having to pay for it like everyone else.. IS there a good case for them?

I ask because I have never tethered or anything like that. (No need with a 22 Mbps cable internet connection) I wonder about this and kind of liken it to deciding whether to buy a CD (or pay for a digital download via Amazon or the like) or just to jump on a torrent site and download it for free. We can debate all day about the morality of something like that, but in the end, it is what it is. Theft. (To some degree) So is this what "free" tethering on rooted phones is like?

Since I have never tethered, I have an honest no-s*it question: Does using the tethering feature dig into one's data plan? Since the carriers are roundly getting rid of "unlimited" data, this brings up another issue. IF tethering, whether free on a rooted phone or legit on a stock phone, does use one's data, then I'd think the carriers' argument is a weak one. If a rooted user wants to tether and not pay for it, and before long hits that magic cap and is throttled down to a slow trickle, then hasn't this problem solved itself?

I just ask since I find the HTC issue pretty disturbing. I love the openess of the Android platform and would like to see that live on. I'm just trying to conceive why HTC (and other companies) OR the carriers themselves are so hostile to the rooting/dev community. Just looking for some input and a little edumacation on the tethering issue. :D
[General Topics] huggs:
I don't really think it's much to do with tethering, as most carriers throttle down data speed after a certain amount of usage per month.

I think it's more about selling more phones. Pretty soon, phone hardware will reach sort of a plateau. I mean for now, if you want to run the latest OS and the latest software, you need a reasonably modern phone. In a year or two, your modern phone will be old news, but since it came with 2.1 Eclair and a bunch of bloatware and the Sense interface, all you'll have to do is root it, S-off, and flash a CM7 rom with A2SD and you'll have a practically brand new, whole different phone, capable of much better performance than before. The locked bootloader is an aim at preventing this trend from continuing into the future. They dont get rich by making the longest-lasting phones, they do so by selling the most phones year after year.
[General Topics] killswitch11:
Thats a good point. I was hearing it was the tethering issue that had the carriers up in arms. So I actually hear JUST now that HTC has decided to unlock the bootloaders!! I'm not 100% it's legit, but if it is, then I (along with EVERYONE else in this community) am a pretty friggin happy guy!!!
[General Topics] galaxys:
It is weak and just more gouging by the carriers! I teather all the time on an unlimited data plan, since I have no other connections at home....
[General Topics] Black6spdZ:
As far as I am concerned it is NOT theft.. tethering is NOT a service, nothing new and not limited to any one brand of phone device. You pay for a data plan, are confined to the data caps of your plan "if any" and the speed of your phone regardless if the data comes up on your phones LCD or your laptop's.. period.
[General Topics] poontab:
Not related. You can tether whether the bootloader is locked & encrypted or not. You don't even have to have root ie pdanet.
[General Topics] killswitch11:
So from what I'm gathering, it DOES come out of your "data allotment". Well, I'd say any carrier complaining about this is full of it then. And I do realize tethering is possible on ANY capable device... just wondering about how the carriers charge extra for it. Which to me now, seem weird. Especially with the new limited "unlimited" plans. Like with our phones... we pay for it (monthly data plans), we should be able to use it however we damn well please.
[General Topics] I Am Marino:
I agree with the notion that rooting phones keeps them updated and alive longer meaning we don't need to buy phones so often unless we really want to.

Back in the day, after 2 years with one phone, we'd be killing for a new one, now, we can easily make our phones last that long.

Sent from my GT-I5800
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] stockwell:
Okay that would explain it then, was not aware that Quadrant didn't give comparable scores between EXT2/3 and EXT4. The OS is already smooth enough on EXT3 so I didn't really notice a difference in that. Might give it another go just to see if there is any difference, but my current feeling is that it isn't worth the hassle of upgrading, as all of our mods specifically mount /system and /data as EXT3 so need to be modified for it to work (and then you have the problem of some people being on EXT4 and some on EXT3.. too much drama).

well, chainfire 3d works and it works well. you don't have to overclock your cpu to make it run, it doesn't require 1 ghz.

i don't know if it increase support for games, but i don't think so. afaik, the only games that we can't run are these, that require armv7, and chainfire won't help in that case. but surely, it does increase performance in games, but only in 3d games (that's why its name is chainfire3D). the difference is noticeable, however i didn't test many games, just a few. if you're a gamer, then this is highly recommended thing for you, but remember, it increases FPS, but reduces quality at the same time.

oh, i forgot about the one thing. you can run games with wrong sd cache (i mean, sd cache for wrong cpu/gpu, for example if you download sd cache for tegra 2 you can run it anyway) if you use plugin drivers.

Put things in sdcard folder, these will be copied diecetly to sdcard. I flashed more than 100 times this way, no problem until now.
