When i tried ADW EX on my Transformer it was good, but i couldn't find the option to get rid of the ADW Logo in the top left of the home screen, which got on my nerves, any tips to get rid of it ?

I've just installed this adw launcher and its great. But what's that lock desktop option on the top for I press it and says locked but nothing changes I can still move the desktop? Any help appreciated
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sgspikes:
if adw ex works like adw launcher, then locking the desktop means that you cannot edit your desktop : if you press long on an app or a widget, it cannot be moved/resized.

It is kind of like locking the taskbar on windows.

So just to make it first stated, im no newb to this forum. i flash all the time. i just had my phone unbricked by Connexion2005 and the crew over at mobiletechvideos.com they did a fantastic job at restoring my vibrant to its previous luster. my problem now is i cannot find a way to flash clockwork recovery. ive downloaded rom manager from the market and tried flashing then rebooting to the recovery environment. but nogo. still on stock recovery. ive tried some of the older versions and none of them work either. what am i doing wrong? i also found others with the same issue in the clockwork thread in the dev section. someone shed some light for a fellow modder.

[Atrix 4G General] lyon21:
So, I was calling AT&T today because my phone all the sudden had data connection but would not make our receive calls/texts. I then told them I would like a two month credit on my primary line since HSUPA was locked on my 4G device. I told them I used my phone a lot for data purposes and was highly upset that my 4G phone wasn't even getting 3G speeds. I told them that I wanted a two month credit for my primary line wich is $69.99 a month and a two month credit for my unlimited data which is $30 a month. Long story short, my $270 cell phone bill this month is now $26.25! Just thought I would let everyone know so you can get your money back since you weren't receiving the service you were paying for.

[Atrix 4G General] lyon21:
The reason I told them two months was because that was how long I had the phone before HSUPA was unlocked, just so everyone knows.

[Atrix 4G General] goscrewsir:
Wow... I agree that At&t could have marketed the whole 4g thing a little better, but that seems a little entitled. I don't think everyone that brings it up will get the same results either.

But WOW... Demanding $200 because it took a little longer to upload your photos to facebook for a couple months?

I'm sure everyone on your twitter or facebook really needs to know what you're doing right now, but does a few seconds really matter?

I can't help but think that if less people called in with unreasonable credit expectations, all our bills might be just a little lower.
[Atrix 4G General] lyon21:
Well, none of our bills are getting any cheaper so I figure I'll take the money where I can get it.

Sent from my rooted, gingerblured badass atrix!
[Atrix 4G General] CaelanT:
I think you are missing the OP's point. AT&T lied to him/her about 4G availability on the Atrix because HSUPA was not enabled. Most of us can't be bothered to go through the bs it takes with AT&T to get phone bills reduced, so we just live with it. Kudos to the OP for getting a decent credit from them!
[Atrix 4G General] ceo.mtcl:
Agree. I'll demand a refund also.
[Atrix 4G General] kane4fire:
I definitely see nothing wrong from the OP about what he did. Honestly I wish AT&T would have done this for us from the beginning automatically. I was still paying the same amount as my iPhone and not even getting the 3G speeds I had on that because they wouldn't give me what I was paying for.
[Atrix 4G General] goscrewsir:
I just wish that at&t would have been up front about the capped upload speeds. I do know for a fact that I used the crap out of my atrix and I don't think they owe me anything off my bill. Capped upload or not, I still hit 6GB on my unlimited plan.
[Atrix 4G General] steevquinn:
Are you kidding? The phone is called the "Atrix 4G". The "4G" network was up before the release of the phone, but the atrix 4G was not allowed to access it (which was not advertised). Of course everyone who bought the phone before the latest update is entitled to a refund of there data charges prior to the 4g update! I just got $90 refunded because AT&T also agrees with us, $139 to $42. Stop being so brainwashed and realize that you are entitled to what was advertised, you just have to grow a pair and stand up for yourself
[Atrix 4G General] justdrew:
LOL the HSUPA is not 4G anyway its 3G or 3.5 G
[Atrix 4G General] goscrewsir:
Exactly! Anyone who didn't know they were not getting new tech or the fastest speeds around did absolutely NO research beyond the 4g marketing tagline. It just strikes me as insincere anger and a grab at a few bucks to say At&t owes us anything for it. They were right in saying that 99% of things done from the handset don't need HSUPA anyway. And they were pretty quick (by their usual glacial work speed anyway) to get the update out when they found out that doesn't wash with 99% of people (me included).

See here for a hilarious and much better stated explanation of my feelings on this.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Caexis:
When I recieve/send a long text it will only show the first few lines and 'more...'

and I have to click on that individual message in order to read the whole thing. It's really hard to read a series of old, longer texts bc when I hit the back button to go back to the thread, it takes me to the most recent one and I have to scroll through to find where I was.

Can anyone tell me which roms have mms that displays the entire text message without having to click on it?

So far I found that only serendipity does. Are there any others? Looking to flash tonight if anyone can help thatd be great!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cdub5:
I use the chomp app from the market. Pretty sure you can customize it to show the whole message when you get it. Plus when the text appears on screen it will take you to that most recent message. I've used chomp on froyo and GB custom roms. Hope this helps
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Caexis:
Is that similar to handcent? I'll check it out if I cant find a rom that has an mms with that feature.

i rooted my phone and usb is detected by PC... issue resolved.. installed new rom
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Baboontyme:
I will post the long version here, mainly because I have nothing better to do.

Here is the situation. I bought a NC about 6 months ago. I rooted it using Auto Nooter. I have no idea what ROM I installed to be honest. I'm very much a novice at this. And I'm quite stupid to boot, I might add. It has worked relatively ok since then. The ROM seemed a bit buggy and I had some initial troubles with constant reboots, in addition to some basic things not working and way bogging the thing down, but in general it was ok. I haven't used it much since unless I was traveling.

Today....I was traveling. Traveling to BFE. As such, I decided to bust out my trusty NC and download a new book while I was waiting for my flight. I did so, and something went a bit haywire. It seems that somehow, without prompting, the device has restored itself to the stock B&N ROM (1.1 maybe?). Yet - the Android OS is still there. For example I can click on my task manager app in the lower left corner of the homescreen and it shows that all of my apps are running and I can even switch to them. But my homescreen is defaulted to the B&N one showing my eBooks and I can't figure out how to get my Android launcher back. I have tried to reboot and it does the Droid boot up but reverts to the same B&N home screen.

I was thinking about trying to update to a new ROM since it had been awhile and I figured there must be something better/more stable out there now - Honeycomb or whatever. I guess this is the kick in the ass that I needed.

So now here I sit in a hotel room in BFE. There are no restaurants open past 9. There are no bars. There IS a Super Wal Mart but I think I'm gonna pass on that.

I figured I would look into this. Where to start? Should I re-set this thing to stock and then just pick a new ROM and re-root? Can I do any of this without having a SD card slot in my laptop - just using a USB cable? Will I lose any eBooks that I downloaded?

I await your sage advice.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShutterPeep:
rooting actually means gaining super user access to the current android rom. B&N, i believe is Froyo, so you did not install any rom so to speak. you were probably just rooted.

I think the issue is with the launcher and not that it is back to stock. What happens when you long press on the home screen?

If you plan to do anything, you will definitely need an sd card reader.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akaCat:
If you autonootered, then you were running stock, but rooted. With a custom launcher replacing the stock launcher, it sounds like.

At any rate, you were probably hit with the automatic update to B&N 1.2 (which is Android 2.2, iirc.) You almost certainly aren't rooted anymore, but it may allow you to run any apps that you already had downloaded, just from the stock app launcher.

When you get an SD card reader, you can check out Manual Nootering. It's basically the same as the old Auto Nooter, but for B&N 1.2. If you change the rom entirely (install CM7) or just run a different rom from an SD card, you'll avoid having B&N overwrite your root access in the future.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Baboontyme:
Thanks for the responses. I believe that you are correct. I actually was running 1.0.0. I used auto-nooter to root the thing and had it working with a custom launcher. I don't think it updated to 1.2. In fact I know that it didn't update to 1.2. I am trying to get it to do that right now.

I would like to install a new ROM or root or do something after it updates to 1.2 so that I have access to the Android market. What is my best way to do this? Should I just root again from 1.2? Should I install this CM7?

Can you help me understand the differences? Thanks again.

I could Super Wal Mart tonight for a SD card reader if I'm feeling frisky.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Baboontyme:
I've got all kinds of problems.

I went to update to 1.2 from 1.0. I removed my SD card and erased and deregistered device. I booted it back up and it thinks it's a phone. I put the 1.2 file in the root drive via USB, as I have read over and over that the thing should recognize the 1.2 file and reboot itself. It's not working. I erased and deregistered again. same deal.

Any advice?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akaCat:
I'd do a full factory reset, then try the update to 1.2 again.

A couple of things about the 1.2 update -- do not unzip the update file or rename it. Just drop it as-is into the nook. And make sure to eject the nook from your computer and unplug it.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Baboontyme:
Thank you aka. I got it to take. I am now at 1.2. Now back to square 1(.2). Any help on this?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Taosaur:
ETA: lol, congratulations! I guess just skip to that link at the end.

I'd agree with akaCat that you should do a factory reset, BUT you can only do that if you still have the stock recovery utility, and it seems possible that you do not. Try to get the NC to reset by interrupting the boot 8 times. If it doesn't work, you may have installed ClockworkMod Recovery on your Nook Color in place of the stock recovery utility. You may have done so while rooting, or later from the ROM Manager app, perhaps even by accident.

Have you attempted to boot to recovery by holding down "n" while you power on the device, and continuing to hold power + n for about six seconds (1-one-thousand, 2-one-thousand, etc), then releasing both? If so, do you get a factory reset dialog (series of yes/no options) or a longer menu including items like "mounting and storage" and "flash zip from sd card?" If you get the longer menu, then that's ClockworkMod Recovery, and neither the 8-failed-boots-reset nor the automatic update are going to work.

If you do have ClockworkMod Recovery, don't do anything yet. Hopefully somewhere on the screen it tells you the version number, in the format 3.0.x.x. Just let us know that version number and power off the NC.

If you still have the stock recovery utility, then do the factory reset, boot into the stock OS, connect USB, drop the update file straight on the Nook (not in any folders), safely remove the NC from your PC, and let it sit. Hopefully it will reboot itself.

If not, the next step is probably going to involve preparing a bootable ClockworkMod SD and manually installing a CWM-compatible version of the update, or of a different ROM. This article may help you wrap your head around the different options: http://quinxy.com/guides/how-to-pick-your-nook-color-operating-system-and-install-options/

ETA: lol, congratulations! I guess just skip to that link at the end.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Baboontyme:
Thank you, Tao. I seem to be a bit stuck, though.

I'm at 1.2 stock. I was able to reformat and erase my sd card. I went to load the .gz image onto the card (for CM7, per instructions here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1000957) and I also loaded the nightly build. Then inserted card into NC and booted. Nothing.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Should I unzip either file?

One thing that might/might not matter....when I went to eject the SD card from my PC, I wasn't given that option so I just pulled it.

One more thing.....the instructions at the link above instruct you to "write the image to your SD card" but then go on to say "eject the SD card" and then further "insert the uSD card into your computer"

Huh?? Isn't it all on the same card? Why do I need two different cards? What am I missing?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Taosaur:
This blog breaks down the same process a little more step-by-step, with videos: http://www.anamardoll.com/2011/04/ereader-running-cm7-firmware-on-nook.html

You can skip the long preamble down to "Ready? Let's get started."

You do need to unzip the disk image, and write it to the SD using a program like Win32DiskImager or WinImage. It's also definitely a good idea to safely eject the SD card from your PC.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Baboontyme:
Hi Tao and others. Thanks again for all of your help. I'm almost there!

I followed this Ana chick's directions and I have CM7 booting up. I am now at the stage where I am trying to boot up in recovery mode so I can get the google apps and wifi thing going. I can't get it to work! I am holding down the "n"/home button and then the power button and it keeps booting up with CM7. I've tried it probably 20 times. Any help? Thanks!
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Baboontyme:
Can someone also tell me how to access the book I just purchased and was in the middle of reading? Do I have to go somewhere and re-download?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Baboontyme:
I should add that though I can get CM7 to boot, I never get "The Power of Reading". It's just kind of a flash.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Taosaur:
That's all normal--verygreen had to make a new uboot, which no longer shows "The Power of Reading" and also flies through a recovery boot so fast you could miss it. If gapps didn't install, just make sure the .zip is still in the boot partition and keep trying. I'm pretty sure holding power > reboot > recovery boot works now from within CM7, but I would go into Settings>Accounts and try to sign in to Google before assuming it didn't install.

If the book was a B&N purchase, once you have the market working, just install the Nook app and sign into your account, and you should be able to re-d/l the book, possibly even still synced to where you left off.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Baboontyme:
Thank you so much Tao and others. Up and running with CM7. Any additional mods I should be messing with?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boxcar8028:
btw, you can also boot into recovery through rom manager, its easier. :)
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Taosaur:
You can overclock: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=925451

Just make sure you grab the version for SD, and install it just like gapps, then set clock speed via CyanogenMod Settings>Performance>CPU

Easier than holding power a sec, poking "Reboot," then "Reboot to Recovery?" :cool:

Really, it's about the same either way, depending how handy ROM manager is on your system.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] billyjayzmagic:
I'm trying to write the MIN and Directory Number (MSD) of a cricKet phone I have on the $35 plan to a criKet Huawei Ascend to avoid paying the $60 plan. I got it connected to CDMA Workshop and I sent the SPC code to the phone and wrote the NAM settings. Everything wrote without a problem. However, the phone number on the phone's setting screen did not change. I disconnected and reconnected to CDMA Workshop and read the NAM settings. The settings showed the new number I has entered. I thought maybe I had to restart the phone to get it to update on the phone's settings. After restarting, the phone still displayed the old number. Also, the NAM settings in CDMA Workshop reverted to the old number. The new MIN is still there and shows on both CDMA Workshop and the phone's settings screen. However, the MSD will not change even though CDMA Workshop reports it as a successful write. Any ideas?
[Verizon Droid Charge] ellover009:
I just became elegible to upgrade my phone, I keep hearing things that vz is gonna switch to tiered pricing and would prefer to get locked in before they change things. Really split between those 3 choices, get a charge with it's amazing amoled screen thats larger and customization of android, or go with iphone 4 with it's higher pixel density, built quality and pretty good camera detail, I can always wait for the apple event on the june 6th-10th and risk being closer to tiered pricing.

I looked at dx 2 but I just couldn't get into the whole pentile screen, it just wasn't right for my taste even with a higher resolution.

[Verizon Droid Charge] yyhd:
I've used every single iPhone every year since Apple initially release it. It wasn't until last summer (2010) that I got on Android. At first I didn't like it; i thought it was pretty complicated, confusing, and too frustrating to use. I didn't like Android 1.8 that was pushed onto the HTC Hero as well. So I went back to iPhone. A week later, I got the HTC Evo 4G. I started to like Android a bit more, but still used iPhone 4 as my "daily beater," if you know what i mean.

Long story short, I LOVE android now. I never want to use another POS iOS software device again. Android is the way to go, buddy.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ChaOConnor:
Question: If you buy the Charge on contract, and let's say in 6 months you want something else, you can't sell it because it's ESN will still be tied to your account till the contract is up, correct?
[Verizon Droid Charge] immaage:
It's tied to your account until you want to change it, but it requires little to no effort. You can either change either online through the verizonwireless.com portal or by calling customer service.

Once you have changed the ESN/IMEI tied to your account to your new phone, you can do whatever you want with the old phone as it is no longer tied to your account.

Android is a hobby, not just a phone, and once you start playing with it, you'll be hooked. iPhone is pretty much a phone for simpletons who just want a smartphone.
