[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Swiftks:
Just go unlok your boot loader you noob :P

For reals though, you can install custom Roms, overclocked kernels, etc. once your boot loader is unlocked. And no, unlocking or rooting will not affect any of your widgets or apps or anything, unless you install a deblurred ROM, in which case any Motoblur widgets would be affected... you have no idea what I just said, do you :P
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pootown:
Well a little. But since my only Root and Rom experience required a full wipe I'm not sure how to do it. Can I just follow a DroidDemos tutorial and root without the wipe. Then at least I can back up and restore exactly how things are. I dont use any blur widgets, but there's a concern that some of the widgets I use are somehow dependent on blur or stuff synced to blur.

Regarding custom ROMS, if I'm just gonna run Go Launcher on top and it runs well now, why bother with that or overclocking?

I'm not trying to talk myself or anyone out of it, just trying to better understand.

I can make a backup of Go Launcher, if that's re-installable in 1 click that'd save ALOT of trouble.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Swiftks:
Check out my Noob guide for some info., links, etc....it's at the top of the general section.

As far as why would you want to? Some possible reasons:

- free up ram/space by running a debloated ROM.

- increase speed by not having bloat run in background.

- increase speed by overclocking a custom kernel.

- More customization with a custom ROM.

- CWM/Nandroid backup

Your launcher has nothing to do with a ROM, you can run which ever launcher tou want on top of any ROM.

Appreciate it. I have read some other guides in the past but a personal answer goes a long way.

cm7 is worth it, if your still on froyo (i was as gb not released for my carrier) then even more reason to as some of the gingerbread features are nice. cm7 has so many options that should be there in the first place

I was going to wait for a new cm7 beta but this one has impressed me and have yet to encounter any major bugs
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pootown:
Yeah that seems to be the one. I have gb tho so its not for that. Tether and uninstal some blur apps is main reason.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marko!:
if you just want to do that and dont want to get in with the custom roms root is very easy to acheive and you would not loose any data or even home screen setups that you have.

Definitally root it but its up to you weather to instal custom roms.

my personal opinion would be to unlock the bootloader and flash away;)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WiredPirate:
It sounds like you have a good understanding of what you want from your phone, and it sounds like your current setup meets or exceeds your expectations. You hit the nail on the head imo when you named tethering as a top reason to root, if that is a feature you need (w/o being charged extra for the same data), then yes go ahead and root unlock or both. However, if you really are happy with your current setup/speed/battery, i say keep it!! No reason to fix whats not broken. Dont feel like you have to do these things to your phone just because others are calling you a noob. Have a look at the list of root apps (in my sig) and that might help you know if there is anything you cant live without.
[Nook Color General] eungholee2:
at what point does the overclocking actually start detracting from the battery?

I know that the nook uses an underpowered 800mhz processor which -when overclocked- provides us with better battery life. we can overclock to 1.0ghz... 1.1ghz... heck I've even seen 1.6ghz overclocks on the nook color.

so what do you all think? what's the best mashup of overclocking and batterylife?
[Nook Color General] biohazrd51:
1.1 or 1.2 seems to be about the standard. If you search around you will find quite a few posts about lowering the voltage. I didn't use my Nook for a while, and could still have over 10 days in sleep.

[Nook Touch Android Development] ryanpl:
Does anyone here know how to take a component from one program and add it to another? I love the way go laucher handles widgets, long press and you can either resize or delete but Zeam is way smaller on my Nook. So I'd like to take the widget managment from go launcher and add it to zeam. Any advice folks?
[Nook Touch Android Development] XorZone:
Good luck.
[Nook Touch Android Development] texasice:
So i have downloaded the nook touch kernel source and have gotten it to build using the gossamer defconfig. (as described somewhere by jesusfreke)

then as a test i enabled ext4 support and recompiled

then converted my system partition to ext4 while booted into noogie on the sdcard.

i also edited the init.rc to mount /system as ext4 and enable adb over usb support

and it seems like it works as shown in the code below.

drew@master: nook_touch$ adb shell cat /proc/version
Linux version 2.6.29-omap1 (drew@master) (gcc version 4.4.1 (Sourcery G++ Lite 2009q3-67) ) #3 PREEMPT Tue Oct 4 14:37:59 CDT 2011

drew@master: nook_touch$ adb shell cat /proc/mounts

/dev/block/mmcblk0p7 /cache ext3 rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,nodiratime,errors=continue,data=ordered 0 0

so where do i go from here? how do i start forward porting the kernel to .32 or .35 or do i even need to do that? in general what needs to change to get a cyanogenmod compatible kernel?

also how can we get a serial or UART output from the nook touch. I have been testing some cm builds from the nook color but it doesnt boot far enough for abd to give any output. ive looked at the back of the board but there doesnt seem to be any blatantly obvious serial port connections on it like the nook color has.

ps. uImage and uRamdisk are attached for reference. i try them if you want. but backup yours first!

BTW, the memory is sadly only 256MB, not 512 as written in that article,

[Nook Touch Android Development] mali100:
Hi,

nice to see that someone tries to get CM to the N2E.

I'm not really familiar with the process of porting CM, but I think the next step would be trying to build a working kernel from the Nook Color CM kernel sources.

It looks like most are in the /arch/arm/configs directory where a lot of definitions for the gossamer-board are missing.

Whats also missing is the touchscreen-driver drivers/input/touchscreen/zforce.c (and the according headers/configs), and the GPU/Epaper-driver (i think it is in drivers/video/omap3ep/, headers and configs have to be added too).

A good way to see what differences between the two kernels exist, is to get the version 1.1 original source for the nookcolor (Kernel version 2.6.29, same as the N2E kernel) and make a diff. http://images.barnesandnoble.com/PResources/download/Nook/source-code/nookcolor_1.1.tgz

At least thats what I will try, as soon as I find some time and get my nook.
[Nook Touch Android Development] winstonma:
CM should be possible. As the nook color and nook touch shares the similar hardware (at least same CPU board).

But at least we need some developer to build ClockworkMod for Nook Touch so we can copy the CM build to the device.

The bad side of the CM build is... we can't use the default Nook application anymore (unless we are going to modify the CM framework).

I guess Nook Touch is just a Android device running the "Nook" launcher, which the device should only run default book software. I wonder if it's possible to put a Nook Touch default reading software shortcut to "Go Launcher"?
[Nook Touch Android Development] mali100:
I described in my last post what hardware is different, and what has to be changed in the kernel. But now I think we could also try the standard Nook-Touch kernel, but we have to put all the userland files in place.

CWM-Recovery would be nice, but isn't necessary for CM. We could start with a bootable SD like it was done with CM for the Nook Color.

Take a look at XorZones work http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1289894
[Nook Touch Android Development] winstonma:
As we have the full source of Nook Touch, is it possible to get Nook Touch as Official CM port?

I have the gut feeling to follow the Nook Color: Full Update Guide and install CM. So I believe it's nice to have ClockworkMod Recovery on Nook Touch.

By the way this is the Nook Touch 1.1 Source from B&N.

I am still waiting for my Nook Touch. It'll arrive 2 weeks later.

To be honest I don't need the B&N service. I just treat this device as e-ink Android Tablet. So I really enthusiastic to make CM port as official.

Is it possible to join as a team and work together?
[Nook Touch Android Development] eded333:
Is it only me thinking that undervolting this overpowered ebook, would make us get that extra inch in battery life we all (I) want?

I'll look into making this kernel overclockable when I have a bit of free time.

If someone looks into it before I do better :P
[Nook Touch Android Development] ros87:
Now, before we go on about kernel hacking, can someone actually provide a

[Nook Touch Android Development] eded333:
Wikipedia tells me NST uses an OMAP3611, there's very little diference between the two (OMAP3621) but something must screw up the output.

---------- Post added at 01:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:19 AM ----------

Allthough our NST works at 800mhz, so maybe wiki is wrong.

Here it's reported as an OMAP3621 so forget what I said.

If you need more proof:

http://www.techrepublic.com/photos/...34&tag=thumbnail-view-selector;get-photo-roto

Most likely the gossamer evt1 config is the wrong one, but the edp1 (epson digital paper) config doesn't compile at all..

[Nook Touch Android Development] mali100:
Hi,

building from the 1.1 source with the omap3621_gossamer_evt1_defconfig configuration works great for me. The kernel runs perfectly, no problems with the display, touchscreen or wifi. Can't notice a difference between the stock and self-built-kernel.

I used arm-eabi-4.4.0 to build it.
[Nook Touch Android Development] winstonma:
Great! Which means we can build CM and get official build-bot.

But back to the point. But it'll be great if we can load the new Android ROM into our device.

So back to the basic question. Should we build recovery like CWM?
[Nook Touch Android Development] mali100:
No it doesn't! Thats just the kernel. Getting CM running is a much harder task.

If you can build CWM for the N2E than please do it. I tried, but had no success.
[Nook Touch Android Development] winstonma:
I agree that CM would be tougher than building a kernel. But there are guides. Teaching us how to grab a built CM, swap the kernel, and it boots. So we can try that. But still, we need the recovery to "install" our build.

I know it's not easy. But we have no choice but to get this step done if we need full access (like installing custom ROM). I will start trying once I grab my N2E.
[Nook Touch Android Development] ros87:
Hi

That post got outdated quite quickly as I managed to figure it out the day after posting it.

There was no problem with my build, but there's something really important missing in the Kernel sources, kernel modules for the PowerVR graphics.

So yes, you can build that config and push the kernel to a working NST and it will work as expected, but as we don't have the source code for the modules there's a limit to what we can actually do.

From my experience there only so much you can change in the Kernel before having to recompile the modules..

To be continued..
[XPERIA X10 General] DiKeJ:

guys,

i am a total noob and i need some help. I have recently flashed franco.Kernel.v19.4 CFS over stock 2.2 rom.

However for me the wifi tethering is not working which is mostly why i rooted and flashed this kernel.:mad:

The scenario is this. I have a 2G connection and i can load any website on dolphin hd (just to say my 2g connection is ok :)).

Now i turn on the "portable wi-fi hotspot" on mobile and connect my laptop (windows xp) wifi to this hotspot.

If i do ipconfig on my pc it shows

C:\>ipconfig

Windows IP Configuration

Ethernet adapter Wireless Network Connection:

Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :

IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.43.7

Now i can ping to my gateway (192.168.43.1 which is the mobile) from my pc and there is a reply.

However if I ping google there is no reply.

On my mobile though i can still open google in dolphin browser in this tethered state.

Can somebody tell me how i can fix this.

kernel or rom

ok...one more thing.

can somebody point me to a rom on which wifi tethering works.
