[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] Gizmo_VII:
I have searched and searched for a post with a list of compatible cm7 themes specifically for version 7.0.3.1 for my evo shift. So I figured this might be nice for all those other rooted shift user out there. I have found a few myself so I set up a link for them later today once of got a little more time. For the time being post what you've got and a link to the download. Also screenshots would be nice as well. Idk about all of you out there but I'm running GO Launcher. So a list of themes for that would be nice as well. Custom themes are welcome :) thanks all :)

I am currently using blue bionic as my theme for cm7 and the default theme for go launcher. The transparent theme for the widgets and future world theme for go sms
[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] Gizmo_VII:
It's not allowing me to post screenshots for some reason. If a dev could email me or something for the reason behind this I would really appreciate it

[General Topics] AndreiLux:
The SGX540 is not more powerful than the Mali-400MP4. Where did you get that from?

And as for ARM and the Mali-400 being their first consumer GPU, it's pretty damn fine for what it is. It beats out most other competition and the perf/mm² is great for Samsung. What'll prove them is going to be the next Mali-T604 which should by the paper specs, kick some ass.

PowerVR SGX540 was in the first Galaxy S. Don't bring that stuff here with nothing to back up. MALI 400 is the most powerful GPU in android smartphones.
[General Topics] jlevy73:
Yep, indeed. Taken directly from that article: Given current workloads, ARM's Mali-400 is clearly the fastest GPU available on a smartphone today.
[General Topics] htcplussony:
Now that its official, I'm really concerned the ipad2/4S will get special super graphical editions of games.

While Mali400 is fast, its mostly represented by 1 phone. The level of graphics in the rest of android phones is much further down.

[General Topics] thegreat1dain:
sgx540 better for games

ill admit the Mali 400 MP is good,but for gaming the powervr sgx540 is better.I've had personal experience with the powervr sgx540 because I play games a lot on my galaxy s,almost every game on the Android market will play on that gpu but the Mali 400 MP can't play games as well
[General Topics] tolis626:
Then obviously you don't have a clue about what Chainfire3D is,eh?Not to mention that most games now support the Galaxy S II without hacks,except for a handful or less.

Anyway,you all are missing an important fact here.GPU clocks.Let me explain:

The GeForce ULP in the Tegra 2 is clocked at 333Mhz.The SGX540 in the OMAP 4460(or whatever version the SoC of the Galaxy Nexus/Droid Razr is) is clocked at 384MHz.The Mali MP-400 is clocked at only 267Mhz,as is Qualcomm's Adreno 220 in HTC's dual-cores.So,it's fact that the Mali MP-400 and the Adreno 220 are significantly handicapped here(Although we don't know the clock of iPad 2's SGX543MP2),especially the Adreno 220 which is included only on qHD screen phones till now.

I can give you GLBenchmark results of my Galaxy S II,with my GPU running at 400MHz.It smokes every mobile device,except for the iPhone 4S and iPad 2(Let's face it,the SGX543MP2 is a beast,but the SII is also some 6 months older),although it significantly closes the gap in performance.

So,if you still think that the SGX540 is better than the Mali MP-400,I'm sorry but you're a moron.Maybe the Adreno 220 is.Maybe it's not,but it's the only GPU in an Android smartphone that even comes close.Get over it,seriously.They all play all of the Market's games without breaking a sweat.
[General Topics] mrjonnyrock:
how did you get the Galaxy S II's GPU to 400MHz? how stable is it? and how stable is your cpu at 1.6Ghz? and is the 1.6Ghz OC on the cpu with the GPU OC to 400mHz? and what is your battery drain like with all this OCing going on?
[General Topics] vnvman:
The phone will feel like hot lava while playing games like MC3 and the thing will drain the battery like a bulimic vampire. Expect like 60 minutes of MC3 online before the phone dies, unless it catches fire turning your hands into hot burgers even before that happens :D
[General Topics] tolis626:
Huh,funny.I might disappoint you but no,it's not bad at all.Battery is draining really bad when screen is too bright.As long as screen brightness is low,battery doesn't drain that fast.Also,the phone doesn't get hot with most games,except for some reaaaaally ****tily coded ones.And the coding doesn't even need to suck in general,only the "Galaxy S II" part if you get me.I played ShadowGun with 16x MSAA for hours without overheating problems.Yet Asphalt 6 managed to make it almost burn,even with 1200MHz CPU and 200MHz GPU.Go figure.
[General Topics] tolis626:
Yes,they are all overclocked together.No,I don't have stability problems 'cause I've found my device's "ideal" voltages.I answered the rest at the post where I quoted vnvman.
[General Topics] mrjonnyrock:
Good to know the phone can be oced so well because when I get home tonight there should be one waiting for me :)

[General Topics] tolis626:
Man,the fact that my phone can get overclocked without problems doesn't mean yours will too.Your phone may crash at even 1400MHz,let alone 1600MHz,or maybe it can run at 1.7GHz without problems,while my phone can't even touch 1650MHz.It's all a matter of silicon quality.And yes,it is REALLY random.Test it yourself,that's the only way you'll know.Just make sure you don't save UV/OC settings as boot before you are sure they are stable,or you'll get in trouble.
[General Topics] mrjonnyrock:
Yup know all about randomness of silicon quality. It's just good to know what the possiblies are.

I currently have my desire HD running at 2Ghz at default voltage lol. Was testing the stability with an app called stability test. Ran for almost an hour with no issues. I stopped the test and forgot about it.

The phone is stable and not running hot even when gaming. Battery drain is good. Been like this for almost 12 hours. 1Ghz oc is just mad :-)

[General Topics] tolis626:
Regarding Desire HD...DON'T!Never use more than 1.8Ghz for daily use.It's faaaar too much already.Besides,the speed increase between 1.6GHz and 1.8GHz isn't all that big.I own a Desire HD too and know it first hand.I was running 1.85GHz for months and my device is just less stable now.Maybe it's the processor degrading or something.So I've settled to 1.5-1.6GHz and am happy with it. ;)

As for the GS2,don't expect it to overclock just as well as HTC devices do.Completely different processors.Qualcomm CPUs overclock better,but at the same MHz,the Exynos' CPU is faster.

I for one eagerly wait for Qualcomm's 28nm Krait cores...2.5GHz stock?I can already see myself owning a 3GHz phone. :D
[General Topics] itstooslow:
For reference there is good database with benchmark results which clearly put the SGX535 and SGX540 on the bottom of the list. Google for "glbenchmark", first link. I can mostly confirm these result. So by raw performance you can safely go like this:

SGX543 > Mali-400 > Tegra 2 > SGX540 > SGX535.

The current Adreno chipsets are very similar to the SGX 540 performance wise since they also use a tile based renderer and have similar clock rates.

Of course things are always a little more tricky than that once you starting writing real games.

For instance iOS has a fast path for full screen landscape OpenGLES2 applications whereas on Android (including ICS) you still have a final texture copy through surfaceflinger. So the exact same code on the exact same GPU will seemingly run faster on iOS. But run that game in portrait mode on iOS and your frame rate will drop like a stone.

If you code up a 2D game for the SGX on Android make sure you turn off depth&stencil buffers. Keeping it enabled cuts your frame rate into half on Android as it interleaves color and depth&stencil data. On iOS it does not interleave the data so there is no performance impact there.

The Tegra has similar tricky setup rules to get best performance. For instance you absolutely need to make sure that you use BGRX8888 or better RGB565 as your surface format. BGRA8888 is the default on Android.

Hi all.

I've dissesambled my Wildfire to extend the cell antenna, but i can't find it anywhere.

Someone has any idea where it is and how it looks like?

[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] showlyshah:
Do you see a void sticker( warranty viod) on the bottem right corner screw of the phone, look on that part, you can see a line( covered by a black sticker) running to the bottom left end. Thatz the ant.

Be sure you may not screw up, itz delicate, if you apply so much heat while soldering you may damage it, its a printed strip. So do with caution. Damaged stip will cause no network to be detected.
[Nook Color General] snoobzilla:
I got a nook color refurb through the 1saleaday on ebay. I received it on 9/14... it was working great, rooted CM7, but last night I got a vertical line on the left side of the screen. I do not have a warranty.

I am looking for feedback on the best way to approach this. Listing said 14 days on returns so I am probably out of luck there, but I sent seller 1saleaday an email.

Seller claimed it was manufacturer refurb, is B&N likely to help me out? If so, how should I approach them?

Thanks
[Nook Color General] w0rd1:
I got in on the same deal. I believe it's a one year warranty from B&N as long as you registered the device. Probably need to put it back to stock first.
[Nook Color General] koopakid08:
I got the same deal with one of my nooks. 1 year warranty. Just return to stock and then call them up.

[How To] rooted B&N (1.3) with market access working .... no really.....it's working.

My goal - a rooted 1.3 stock device that had full market access back the way 1.2 worked w/ market prior to the update.

I'll preface this by saying I've tried nearly everything from almost every post in XDA in the last month, but I still had no market access and had to side-load all my apks. I get the feeling that there are quite a few of us that tried manulNooter and various forms of tweaks but are still w/out market access so it is for us that I write this.

I read this today and with a slight tweaking of the steps, I now have ROCK SOLID full market access on the first try.

I'll flat out say that all of the work can be chalked up to other people's time and effort, it's only the steps that worked for me I'm outlining here.

Beforehand:

Make sure you have a bootable CWM card (linky)

Make sure you have updates 4.6.18 and 4.6.16a.

Get the B&N 1.3 update here since you're going to revert your NC back to stock

START:

1) Before updating to 1.3 firmware you are required to do a complete wipe (which requires an aborted power-up [simply hold power button down during the launch process] 8 times in a row - or MUCH easier: the following command using adbWirless ).

2) I waited for the whole B&N setup after the wipe and I went through the steps of registering the device to my B&N account, then I did a factory reset at the "Erase and Deregister the device". It relaunches B&N one more time. After restarting I simply shut down the device before registering it again.

3) I then plugged in my Nook via. USB cable to my PC. I copied the 1.3 update to the root folder of the NC via. the USB cable. You can obtain the 1.3 update here if you didn't earlier.

4) I unplugged the USB. After 2 min. the NC recognized the update, and it did it automatically. It went through a full boot and I then shut down the NC.

5) I put in my CMW SD card with 4.6.18 and 4.6.16a on it. I then plugged in my USB cable into my Nook again to force the launch of CMW

6) In the CMW backup menu, I launched from zip file the 4.6.18, then right afterwards, the 4.6.16a nooters.

7) I shut down the NC, removed the CMW card, and did a regular launch.

8) I chose ZEAM launcher as default

9) I went into ROM manager and fixed permissions.

10) I went into the Market, signed in, and accepted the info, and saw the full, beautiful market populate and I'm good to go.

Hopefully this is a fix that works for everybody.....

(and yes - I know there's a separate thread on how to re-root after 1.3, but it's more of a troubleshooting thread at this point and frankly there's SO much conflicting info. in there I thought it prudent to start a new thread)
[Nook Color General] docfreed:
There is no 4.6.18 update - did you mean 4.518?????

[Nook Color General] jnmoriginpoint:
Thks - yes - 4.5.18 - and fwiw, while I was super-happy about the progress - I turned off the NC last night and on launch this morning I'm stuck in a boot loop at the NC logo. Looks like I'm moving to CM7 and use the LCD density method to get market access. SO disappointing.
[Nook Color General] hikersc:
Thanks for giving this a shot and posting your experience. I am hoping that one of the smart developer types will work on a Manualnooter (let's say 4.7.0) that will take us from stock 1.3 to root with a fully functional Market. Please, I know you are out there.

By the way, if you load CM7 with a -200 nightly or later then you will not need the LCD density fix as it has already been incorporated. Happy hunting!
[Nook Color General] bobzdar:
Did you update flash? Thats what causes the loop, I had the same thing happen to me and had to start again from scratch. Make sure you don't update flash through the market or this will happen again.
[Nook Color General] jacobas92:
THANK YOU SWEET JESUS

I decided to revert to stock and every time I turned my nook off, there was no return. Every time I reflashed, after I nootered I updated everything from the market. I spent 2 hours trying to find the reason as to why I kept getting bootloops.

This fixed it.
[Nook Color General] bobzdar:
There is a fix to allow updated flash, can't remember which thread but after going through it I have updated to flash v11 without issue. I also got the (latest) market working by going into titanium backup and doing a data wipe of the market app.
[Nook Color General] jacobas92:
Well, I followed all the given instructions, even bobzdar's method after reflashing for the 5th time. I still cannot get full market access. Even amazon market cuts me off. I've come to the conclusion that my only solution will be to move on to cm7. Honestly though, I prefer the stock rom over cm7.

All I want is cut the rope, and boat browser. Is that too much to ask for? lol
[Nook Color General] bobzdar:
For whatever reason, the market took a while to load the first time, but now it works whenever I go into it. Try opening it up and doing a search for something and see what happens. I did a search for flash after running the flash fix to go right to the updated v11 and it took 30 seconds to a minute for the search to go through, but once it did the market has worked normally since. It was odd, but what kicked the whole thing off was doing the data wipe in titanium backup and all of a sudden it auto updated flash and a few other things (indicating market was working), which necessitated doing the flash fix through CWM etc. Now everything is working properly, hopefully it's just working slowly like it was for me and you just have to kind of kick start it by doing a search.
[Nook Color General] zogg44:
Thanks for the detailed steps, and to bobzdar for his tips. I too was having the "Nook Col" problem even after having done the flash trick, so I started all over and all is working...

EXCEPT, now I can't download my B&N books. I get this error: "Unable to Download: Internal error: Exception executing the command".

I did update superuser among other things, not sure if that made any difference. It won't let me install the Nook app thru the Market, either.

Any suggestions? I'd like to read my books and would prefer NOT to do this all over again LOL.
[Nook Color General] bobzdar:
New book or one already in your library? I just downloaded a book from my library without issue but I don't know if I've tried to download a new book since getting the market working again.
[Nook Color General] jacobas92:
Well, evry time I did those steps, the market homepage/top apps or whatever seemed to show up blank, saying "No items found" or something like that.

I just decided to go back to 1.2. I like the new market better anyway.
[Nook Color General] zogg44:
Already in the library. I have about 12 and can't dl any of them. Haven't tried to buy a new book yet, but I doubt that will work either.

It's frustrating because I was w/o the Nook for several days, did all this stuff and it works well other than this and limited market apps which I can live with.

I may have to go thru the whole process again and make sure I dl everything before I apply the hacks. :(
