[Nook Color General] Divine_Madcat:
The only stupid question is the one unasked. :)

That is correct; with one exception. CM7 will mount the "Media" partition, and changes there will be reflected on the stock OS (this partition just stores your files, pictures, music, etc; nothing related to the system).

Yes, performance will suffer. I used to run from SD card, until i finally gave up and tried internal. Internal is much faster, and of course makes it easier to use you SD card for pure storage.

Normal NC? You mean as just an eReader? Yes, you would just use the market version of the nook app.

From what i have seen, you will lose the "Read to me" functionality, and the look and feel of the market version is different of that of the stock version. But, by using CM7 (or rooting stock), you can gain access to Kindle and Google books, which kind of makes up for it.

I would say for you, CM7 internal would be good (remember, you can always put the stock OS back on if you change your mind), and the stock OS best for you wife.

Opera is by far the best browser; it is the only browser with renders web pages with the GPU; this is what allows smooth scrolling and page views (like the iPad has). Dolphin is nothing more than a skin of the stock browser, and isn't worth worrying about.

Remember, we are ALL "noobs" at one point in our life. Being willing to ask and learn is how you stop being one. ;)
[Nook Color General] akaCat:
The Android Nook app loses:

* Read To Me

* Shelves

* A quick shortcut to the current book you're reading

It gains a couple of features: a fancy page-turn animation, and a true black & white "night" mode. (The stock reader's night mode is more of an off-white on dark gray, if I remember right.)

If your wife has a lot of nook books, she may really miss the shelves feature. Without it all books are listed on one page, ordered by Title, Author or Most Recent. That's most recently purchased, not most recently read.

With no shortcut, every time you return to the app you have to scroll through all the books you have downloaded to find the one you're currently reading. That could be annoying if you've got a few dozen or more loaded.

I get around both problems by using a third-party reader. But to use it, I have to strip the DRM from the books I own, which is at best a gray area legally.

Most people who read a lot will probably get more out of a stock nook, or better still, a nootered nook. If it's nootered (rooted), you get all the features of the stock reader, as well as the ability to download any number of other applications including Kindle and Overdrive (the library lending app.)
[Nook Color General] Nard Dog:
Thank you very much for the input. Your answers have highlighted the fact that I need to do a lot more research. I am not even sure what the NC can do out of the box. While the wifey will use it primarily as a reader, she also wants to be able to play games and download apps. Can this still be done on the stock OS? Can you install a different browser (opera) on the stock OS? I've seen the term "rooted stock" but haven't read up on it much since I figured I'd just have to root them to do what we both want. I'm guessing "rooted stock" is somewhere between being rooted and keeping the stock OS. Would this allow using the native reader intetface while still allowing access to apps via the Android market? If I can get it so she has a nice browser, can play games (Angry Birds, etc) and keep the native reader (which she really likes) that would be perfect. BTW, before anyone starts yelling "USE THE SEARCH NOON" like they do on some forums I have visited, I know these answers are probably all on this forum somewhere and I am continuing to research on my own. I have been and will be reading a ton of old posts, etc. But, it is also helpful to have one thread to list all of the questions that pop into my head.
[Nook Color General] barbo:
I was new to Android a couple months ago and hesitant to root so I decided to put CM7 on an sdcard. I bought a cheap card and the thing worked but it was agonizingly slow. I bought a Sandisk 8GB class 4 and it works GREAT - very fast. I have never overclocked (haven't gotten the nerve for that yet) and it is very speedy for my needs. I later rooted stock which is what I recommend for your wife. You put a launcher on (I like zeam) and then you have your B&N shelves and access to the Android market as well. BTW, you can also get the Amazon Appstore and check it out daily because they put up a free app every day - very cool.

Good luck with your decision. I love my Nook!
[Nook Color General] Nard Dog:
Cool, so it looks like it'll be CM7 for me and nootered for her.

One more question since I have your attention. Is there a way to tether the NC to my Droid X and connect to the internet? My Droid X is totally stock and I have no desire to root it or mod it in any way. I have used PDAnet to tether to my laptop, so I'm looking for something similar to that.
[Nook Color General] barbo:
I can tether my Win Mobile phone (getting an Android phone as soon as my contract runs out!) to my NC. My phone creates an ad hoc connection and I had to make a small change on the Nook to get it to work. I'm pretty sure you will have no problem. Just search and you will find the details specific to your phone.
[Nook Color General] Divine_Madcat:
The only (wireless) tethering you can do WITHOUT rooting is the paid Verizon service. No other wireless rooting will work (all need superuser). I gotta ask though - any reason you don't want to root the X? Its not really anything different from rooting your nook..
[Nook Color General] Nard Dog:
I guess it's really just fear. If I brick my phone, I am royally screwed. If I brick the Nook, it would suck, but it's more of a toy anyway. I know it's probably very safe and easy, but I just keep thinking of the horror stories I read when I thought about rooting my Q9m back in the day. That said it is very likely that once I root the Nook, I will end up rooting my phone. Baby steps :D
[Off-topic] Schmarvin:
Above are just a few services I offer from my company. I wanted to get some opinions on my services. Are the services about some that you may be interested in? What other services would you like to see offered. How much are you willing to pay?

We do offer free web hosting. No ads, posting, or links required. I believe I've offered hosting to a few developers already. I also offer to establish a site for developers as well, also for free. So far, no one has been interested. I also looked and asked about creating mirrors for roms, and have not heard any word back.

I do have a web site and phone number.

Give me your ideas and opinions. I'd like constructive feedback.
[Acer Iconia A500] xda-dev2k:
hi everyone...

I was wondering about the magic of giving to this release some more horsepower. I've run some tests (apart from my personal impression) and I've to say the tablet slowed down quit a bit after this update.

Keeping this kernel would be possible to implement some kind of OC???

Or do we have to wait for the usual "you are the guy" to bring us something better performing?;)
[Acer Iconia A500] thor2002ro:
can be found at my usual place ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] xda-dev2k:
whics is? (wow... I didn't expect being answered directly by U)

would U be so kind as to explain also if I can maintain this released update while pushing "your" kernel... what do I expect to find out? will these be compatible?

I didn't mix any before, I use to run the 1.8 of yours, but I was intrested in solving once and forever the problem about the dhcp.lease, not your fault, I know, but very annoying to me, cause I work in many different wified places.

and... (I'm biting your calf... I know:)) where, where in the world is your usual place? :)
[Acer Iconia A500] mumazz:
good job！！！！！！！！！！！！:)
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
Awesome dude. I presume it will overclock? What to? 1.6? 1.7? 2.0? ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] thor2002ro:
1.6... you need cooling after this ;)

even at 1.6 in some situations it will thermal shutdown...
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
Heh, I was just kidding. I never take my tab over 1.4. Waaaaaay too long experienced in the IT world to take something with passive cooling to the edge! :p
[Acer Iconia A500] thor2002ro:
it doesn't even have passive cooling... it just has a metal cover over it... but that's for interference if I remember my PCB class in collage...
[Acer Iconia A500] Bec07:
So, I know your first reaction will be "FTW does the noob want??" but did anybody get the 3.1 the official way, OTA?
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
Short answer: Yes

Long answer: Yes they did.

:p
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
Hmm.. Dude? Doesn't seem to want to boot with that kernel... Good job I made a backup right before I flashed it! :p
[Acer Iconia A500] thor2002ro:
mmmm they did something to the rom...its not starting the video driver...

and if I force it its corrupted...

I taken the stock kernel package down trying to see if I can fix it...
[Acer Iconia A500] zoubidou:
i tried several kernels, but stuck in boot, you you give me a hint which kernel you are talking about please.

tks in advance.
[Acer Iconia A500] zoubidou:
ok understand
[Acer Iconia A500] zero313:
THX, plz lets us know as soon as it is up. :p
[Acer Iconia A500] Json_81:
Same here, bootloop with beta2 kernel.

0.1 is the last number for me (heard it was country code?)

Yes I'm working... didn't I say It doesn't work?
[Galaxy S II General] pda_crazy:
Hi Guys,

Yesterday, I bought my phone. Do we really need to connect to PC via Skies to upgrade the phone firmware? Cannt we do over the air using software update option? I can see software update option in phone under settings and you need to specify your samsung account details as well.

Any idea...
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
KIES is the only current method of Samsung firmware updates .

jje
[Galaxy S II General] viva.fidel:
the software update function only alerts you of updates AFAIK.. still have to use Kies
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Yes you need a PC and an internet connection and Kies installed to upgrade the firmware officially.

For unofficial purpose, you need to have Odin and the firmware from Samfirmware.com, with a PC and net conn.

The built in Software Update feature in the phone is useless still, don't know why it is even there.

Regards.
[Galaxy S II General] pda_crazy:
Thanks Guys for clarification.

I downloaded Kies and attached my phone. It is showing me that I am running following latest firmware. I read on this forum that KE8 has been launched then why I am not seeing it in Kies. Any help.....

PDA:KE7 / PHONE:KE4 / CSC:KD1 (XEU)
[Galaxy S II General] Exidrion:
As far as I'm aware, different countries get official updates at different times.
[Galaxy S II General] robsw:
Because KE7 is the latest firmware released for your geographic territory. Other territories are up to KF3.
[Galaxy S II General] pda_crazy:
I am in UK. So UK is running behind for firmware upgrades.....
[Galaxy S II General] StupidIdea:
Some are still on KE2 GRRRRrrrrrrrr..... :mad:
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
No its your network /phone provider that supply s the firmware when they and if they decide to .

jje
[Galaxy S II General] d3l1:
running behind??? DBT (Germany generic) is still on KE2 firmware and KDJ modem!
[Galaxy S II General] zabihjan:
So what is the official latest veersion for a UK Sim Free SGS2?

Mine is showing KE7
[Galaxy S II General] pda_crazy:
I have unbranded sim-free phone. So I am not bound to any network provider.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Why go samfirmware when you can get all you need right here in the dev forum for flashing?:confused:
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
No but you are bound to a product code .

Dont see the reason for the headlong rush to update when you know zilch about the update and many of the network providers are waiting for 2.3.4 .

[Samsung Infuse 4G] STraver:
I recently bought my wife an Infuse, and have noticed a strange effect. A few apps will vanish after a reboot. I can reinstall them, but they will again vanish leaving only a blank icon, and a search of the apps list on the phone shows they are gone. I did a forum search before this post and did find something on vanishing icons but not whole apps. I use a Dell Streak so have some Android experience but this is weird. Maybe I need to reformat the internal card? Any ideas would be helpful. Thanks.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] ZeroIsntTheHero:
I've had that happen a couple of times; however, after waiting the app generally reappears. If you're having an issue with the apps actually being uninstalled... Dunno.

Are you running a custom rom? Stock? Rooted? Auto-Delete-My-Apps program? =P
[Samsung Infuse 4G] diablo009:
I faced this issue when I

backed up on Inspire

and

restored on Infuse

. But well, learnt the hard way. I installed them again from market, and this time they persisted.

I didn't even have a blank icon then -- they just vanished leaving no trace.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] antuus:
You are brave. I wouldn't attempt to restore a backup from a diff phone, regardless of OS. Was it intentional?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] hwaters:
sometimes this happens because the apps are installed on the sd card which finishes loading after the phone checks for apps.

meaning the apps suddenly disappear since it can't find them because it can't find the sd card.

you have to install them onto the internal memory manually. The phone seems to default to installing them onto the sd card too
[Samsung Infuse 4G] STraver:
Rooted but otherwise stock. I guess I'm looking at a trip back to ATT.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MikeyMike01:
I moved everything off the SD card, removed it, and haven't had this problem since.

Sent from my Infuse 4G
[Samsung Infuse 4G] antuus:
I'm shocked that you only have as many thanks as you do when you look at your post count. Most posts I've seen of yours are helpful. Thanks for this info.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] STraver:
Thanks for your response. So it sounds as though I should remove the external SD card before installing any apps to make sure they go on the phone. Then I can reinstall the SD. Is that what you are suggesting? Thanks
[Samsung Infuse 4G] diablo009:
Let me accept it, Yes. It was intentional. I did the same from Captivate to Inspire too. I love playing with my toys :D

And well, this time I had to reflash the ROM again :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MikeyMike01:
Basically.

Or transfer them afterwards.

Sent from my Infuse 4G
[Samsung Infuse 4G] STraver:
Thanks for your help. I'll give this method a try tonight.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] STraver:
Tried reinstalling the apps then moving them to phone and it seems to work. None of the apps vanished after several hours and several reboots. Hope this solution helps someone else with the same problem! The only thing I'm still wondering is why others haven't posted the same issue? Could I have something wrong with the phone still?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MikeyMike01:
I think the included SD card just sucks.

It's only 2 GB anyway... Not missing much without it now that my music is in the cloud.

Sent from my Infuse 4G
[Samsung Infuse 4G] trdsnow:
This happened to me the other day when I plugged in my phone to transfer some files to the SD card. The apps went missing. Then when I unplugged the usb cable, the apps reappeared.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] theorioles33:
Thanks for this thread!

I thought I had a buggy phone because of what was happening. I was kind of wondering if it had to do with the muiltiple SD cards. I uninstalled everything from my 2GB and took it out. Reinstalling everything to the internal.

Thanks again!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] diablo009:
Do u have any apps installed on ur SD card?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] EGBTMagus:
I am having this issue currently as well and it seems that the device is also not showing my external cards contents. I have a 16gb card with tons of files and music on it (no apps installed to it) and the device isn't showing more then half the content.

I am also missing apps I had installed like Titanium Backup that I used to install my apps. It even removed addon apps like Animation Package for Beautiful Widgets.

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] nordicfastware:
Awesome

Sweeet !! Do we know how much battery saving that can give ? Is is a drastic change ?

Good work !

Testing it right now.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jjsoviet:
I spy with my little eye, a new ROM for me to try! :D
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] clemsyn:
LINK is up. BIG thanks to chatch15117 for the ftp site ;)

TIP

1. Please do not enable "Force minimal freq when sleeping" in Pimpmycpu because it will have a conflict with the battery profiling script.

2. Install netarchy's app to disable tap to click

3. Install Setcpu to disable Battery profiling script (will allow you to overclock more)

4. If you want to overclock (or underclock) more without installing SETCPU, edit the init.d script at /system/etc/init.d/02cpufreq_screenstate_scaling

5. To try a certain speed without installing SETCPU or editing the script. Enable the frequency at PIMPmycpu and you can test it out. It will default back to battery profiling speed when the screen turn off or when you press the power button.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] wallah:
Thanks a lot man, i will try this when im home, the first thing to do :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] clemsyn:
Would really depend on how much you can undervolt your cpu (via pimpmycpu) and how you set the profiling frequencies at (editing the init.d script). With the script, you can edit a certain frequency at a certain battery level ;) Ihave included File expert (to mount system/etc as rw) and Estro File explorer
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] XsceneXhippieX:
This looks awesome! I'm excited to use this combo, will a restore of stock rom data cause issues? I figure it does hence the backup/wipe steps but its still worth asking :p

yup,that is what i`m talking about more roms more pleasure for us

awesome job Clemsyn
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] sontin:
Wow, nice work. :)

But i'm only interessted in the kernel. Will you further support the other thread with your kernels?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] typci:
4. If you want to overclock (or underclock) more without installing SETCPU, edit the init.d script at /system/etc/init.d/02cpufreq_screenstate_scaling

What if I want to overclock the gpu some more? Can I do that?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Globespy:
Thanks Clem!!

Great to see new cooks in the kitchen, variety is the spice!

I am keen to try your ROM combo without installing SetCPU, however wanted to ask a question.

AS we all know, when we sign into market our tablets efficiently start automatic download and installation of programs we have purchased/previously installed.

I purchased SetCPU a while back and it's often one of the first apps to get installed.

I will try to be quick and cancel the installation, but wondered if it does happen to get installed, and then I uninstall it, will the automatic CPU throttling settings be messed up or will they automatically kick back in if they see SetCPU is uninstalled?

Thanks!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Globespy:
One other really important question:

Does this have the option to boot into recovery (long press power) like Prime 1.5?

Just makes any future changes that much easier.

Thanks.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] clemsyn:
If setcpu is installed, then battery profiling script is disabled. If uninstalled, then battery profiling is enabled upon reboot.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] clemsyn:
Not yet but will include it in my next release including a few ext4 optimizations and try inserting huawei modem usb ;)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] minhgi:
thanks...trying...to download at work...

looks like the server is getting hammer with download...

Also thanks for the ram script preinstall
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] clemsyn:
Yes I will. Will update it soon.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] bschrib:
When setting up your gmail account after flashing a ROM you don't have to load previously installed/downloaded apps. Just don't check the "Restore data from my account" tick box.. Might be named slightly different but that's the gist of it.

If you have it load to reinstall your apps then you can get around this by either using Titanium Backup, or Astro file manager has a free app-backup but it doesn't work as well (can't get secured apps, etc.)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] amerikian:
browser fc

Everytime i go into browser settings i get fc.... tried clearing data in apps... no dice.

Smooth rom otherwise ! Looking forward to updates.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] clemsyn:
Try using Pimpmycpu and choosing a lower frequency for max (don't turn off the screen or else the battery profile will push it backup to 1504).
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jwilliamf:
Can it be use with CPU Master instead of setcpu?

If not, what is the different with working with one but not the other?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] aussiebum:
Installed over Prime 1.5 after wiping cache and dalvik. Very nice and smooth! Definite noticeable improvement over previous rom update from Asus.

Would be nice if SetCPU isn't automatically deleted when flashing this ROM though.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] clemsyn:
I haven't added Blades latest timing and possible RAM tweaks in the kernel but will release it as soon as I add it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] forgiventhief:
I would appreciate that also.

BTW, I noticed a big dip in battery life after the OTA update. I rooted and flashed your ROM (having appreciated your work on the gtab and battery saving stuff.)

However, I notice as well that the battery drain is still present with the new update, even in your ROM (can somebody else confirm this?) I have the dock and it seems like the percentages drop at a lot faster rate...

So, anyway, just wondering if it was due to the new update, or actually something within the ROM.

Thanks!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] forgiventhief:
I actually found that to be true for me before I rooted. I would wake the tablet from sleep and my wifi would be scanning... forever. I have the dock, so poking the wifi button twice worked well for not having to go back into settings. I'm about to flash Clem's latest. Will see it it still does it.

EDIT: With latest version 3 final, i did not notice wifi dropping upon tablet waking from sleep/screen off.
