[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tonydib:
I also have the Incipio and while it fits great (I did modify it to make a hole for the NC Mic), I'm not liking the extra effort required to turn the phone on or off. That action is already difficult enough with no case, but it's made even more difficult with the NGP.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] alex72:
Thanks for bringing to light this Incipio case. I just bought it. It looks like they fixed the problem with covered NC microphone. Now the cutout for it looks huge to fit AT&T and International version. Maybe they improved power button as well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ZionExpress:
Thanks for linking that case, i haven't seen that one yet. I'll take a closer look at it and see if i can find a detailed review.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ZionExpress:
A quick google search led me to this good video review of the Incipio NGP (a TPU case). Looks to be a little dated though, the model they show on the Incipio webpage has a larger cutout for the NC mic and a color they didn't mention in the video. Still worth a look though.

Here's the video link, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qPJG6NEgj-M

I have a rearth case and am loving it, doesn't add much thickness or weight at all, u get 15 colors to choose from, doesn't collect dust, and has the hole for the 2nd mic. Overall very happy with this case.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Hemlocke:
I would like to see something come out in carbon fiber, like the Element Ion or Formula, but Element only does iPhone cases.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ZionExpress:
In all my searching i have yet to find a true carbon fiber case. I've seen plenty of cases with a carbon fiber "design" but they are just regular TPU or skins.

Take a look at these if you just want that industrial look..

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ZionExpress:
I was heavily considering the Rearth Ringke but i read about some people having trouble with the case splitting apart on them due to small drops (see the Ringke thread here) and i decided to go with the SGP Ultra Capsule instead. I might also pick up the TPU-Case from Amazon just for the sake of having something to compare the SGP against.

I get super slow shipping so i'll put some pictures up in a week or so.
[Nook Touch General] Celebom:
which uRamdisk to Replace into touchnooter-1.6.24 to make it work on 1.1 is not clear (there are 2 of them).

The answer is ONLY /nooter/boot/uRamdisk (don't touch the one in the root)

with this configuration (and the framework.jar) i got it to work on the first boot, no need to make the 3 boots sequence.

concluding (starting from an 1.1 virgin system):

download touchnooter-1-6-24.zip

extract touchnooter-1-6-24.img

download one of those uRamdisk

download framework.jar

replace ONLY /nooter/boot/uRamdisk in touchnooter-1-6-24.img

replace framework.jar in touchnooter-1-6-24.img

write touchnooter-1-6-24.img on the SD

just 1 boot as usual to the android welcome page,

then remove the SD,

reboot,

double skip as usual

NookColorTools - disable and re-enable non market apps (uncheck and check it again),

Youtube (error 401),

Gmail

and finally...

Market (install at least 1 application with this version, search doesn't work)

now (after you have installed 1 app) eventually replace Vending.apk with this to enable search

i also putted this inside my touchnooter, the 2 .jar into the framework directory and the apk into the app but this shouldn't be necessary...

this is how it worked for me, enjoy

Since i don't have enough posts for development forum, i will post this here, may be someone can move it to the right place, i'm not used to spam, but this 10 posts rule seems to encourage new users to spam 10 posts around...

move it here if you can
[Nook Touch General] Kralik:
I think what you are addressing is exactly apeine's problem:

Incidentally, how long did it take to boot and work on the first try? With 1.0.1 firmware I rooted three nooks and left it for over 30 minutes on the first one without success. Then on the other two I was impatient and gave it two boots. So I never let 1.1.0 go on that long before rebooting since I assumed it was going nowhere.
[Nook Touch General] Celebom:
yes, that's why i wrote this, i cannot reply in the development section because i have too few posts on the forum

In my case it took slightly longer than a normal boot, no freeze at all, just about 1-2 minute on "Rooted Forever", then some time, may be 1-2 minutes on the nook dots screen with the dots moving (they never froze) and then the android guy page, no more than 4-5 minutes globally.

Anyway when i used touchnooter on 1.0.1 the first time, i had to reboot 2 times as you reported, same problem, more or less, may be the freezing at boot is something which happens, but not regularly
[Nook Touch General] glezmen:
thank you for the description!

so if i understood correctly, there's no drawback with this method, everything works as it was before upgrade to 1.1.0, including the Market?

what about the installed apps, especially the non-free ones? (I've purchased OrientationControl)

can I simply download it from Market again, or should I backup the APK file and copy it back after upgrade/root?
[Nook Touch General] Celebom:
Yes, my nook behave exactly as with 1.0.1

No idea, never bought an app, just free ones, but to keep an .apk backup is always a safe choice :-)

about orientation... i remember Orientation Switch and this (just in case someone wanted rotation for free)
[Nook Touch General] ros87:
You can re-install purchased apps from Market whenever you want.
[Nook Touch General] glezmen:
thanks for the hint, I will have a look on it (especially if i can't download the app again for free :D)

btw 1 EUR was not a big pain (I tried ADW launcher and rotation before, but it was not really convenient)
[Nook Touch General] Kralik:
As long as you have market working with your prior GMail account, you should have no problem redownloading both your free and paid apps.
[Nook Touch General] Jiv_au:
Thanks. Worked like a charm.

I first installed Astro File Manager, which is the second one in the list under the "Productivity" -> "Top Free". This allows me to install Vending.apk (Market where the search function works), and then follow it with Titanium Backup.

Using Titanium Backup re-installed all the apps from my previous backup, plus installed the XorZone's NookTouchTools for 1.1 (jars are different from 1.0.1).

I'm not sure what the significant difference is between the firmwares, but I understanding that the screen refresh is a bit quicker, and that the battery report is more accurate (previously batt reading would fluctuate when first turned on).

As for the firmware upgrade.... my STR just did not want to download the upgrade, even though I set the screensaver to 1 hour. There could be several reason why this didn't work, such that I don't live in US, or the process of rooting had modified something (even thought I factory reset it).

In the end I just connected it using USB, and loaded it into the root directory of the my STR (a simply file copy in Windows XP). Then the upgrade started a minute after the copy.
[Nook Touch General] npsy9509:
Thanks for your guide! I've just finished rooting my 1.1 Nook Simple Touch firmware :D

Remember everybody :

I want to root my nook simple touch - what works TODAY?

Hi all.

I find this thread interesting and helpful. I have noted that a lot of the information here, on nook developers, or in two articles I read (one in lifehacker.com and the other in Que Publishing) all contain help that includes links to files that are either not there or I can't find.

Can someone point me to a current simple solution that will allow me to root my nook and toggle between the original home screen and the better Android one?

Thanks in advance!
[Nook Touch General] Googie2149:
ButtonSaviour should have been installed with the Root, so just look for a transparent(translucent?) arrow button thing on the right screen, near the middle. It might be hard to hit it. The Home button on that will be like hitting the Home button on a normal Android device, and when you press the Quick Nav button, the home on that will lead to the B&N home unless you used Xor's mods to change what it leads to.

I heard that Galaxy S phones screens seem to degrade after a while or extended use. With this unlimited data i would want to watch movies(Netflix or the movies i have stored on my comp) on it when i'm on trips or whatever, my question is would yall recommend watching movies on this phone?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tubasteve:
I edit movies daily, add them to my phone and show every one. On halloween I used it as a video out with the htc hdmi out for close to four hours...really bad news. Phone got hot(like long taking on the phone). The even whenI unplugged the mhl cable did white nose lines and was locked up. Never had an issue until it was unplugged. Went home, mind you I had to reset by pulling battery. Got to my apartment and noticed when selecting some apps had screen issues/reset the phone when I tried to delete. Now I don't just give up, I tired forcing a new install of the apps, installing or anything it would just flat reset. I'm not rooted or anymods at all. I have had the phone since the release with no, none of the issues talked about...until this night. I did a reset to the phone to new...and had been fine, I've played it again and again.

Long story short, screen failing, all things fail, I haven't noticed too much yet ;-)

Is there a way to install the USB drivers and ODIN in Ubuntu Linux?

It's so hard to find clear documentation for a regular guy.

Thanks
[Verizon Droid Charge] shrike1978:
You can either use Heimdall in place of Odin, or you can find a Windows machine and use it. Heimdall is much less straighforward than Odin. I know some people have gotten it to work, but most people just find a Windows machine.
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
its possible to run it in a vm box but I wouldn't use odin in anything but real windows just because you won't brick it if something goes wrong.. heimdall is also an option though I've never used it

mint 11 here btw

blazing through on my 4G Droid Charge
[Verizon Droid Charge] shobon:
I've heard that Heimdall isn't compatible with the Charge. What I wound up doing was installed VirtualBox and XP, and used Odin from there. Worked like a charm.

I'd much prefer a native solution, though.
[Verizon Droid Charge] PeterGunz:

Really no Linux support?

I can't believe there's no way to root the charge with ubuntu. I've been trying with adb and gingerbreak but no success. Come on, there must be a way!
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
nope aside from doing it in a VM box or on a windows PC you're kinda out of luck
[Verizon Droid Charge] ezas:
I tried using Odin in XP on a virtual machine with USB support and out froze in mid flash. While the device was recognized as a COM port of the beginning of the flash at one point it did not recognize anything on the COM port and froze at that point.

I'm not saying it won't work only that it didn't work on that one case which is the only time i tried it. And this was back on my Fascinate.
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
You should be able to flash the kernel via Heimdall in Linux to achieve root access.
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
I've had it do that a few times on the Fascinate and once on the Charge (almost permabricked it), I personally just said screw it its not worth the risk and do it on a small windows partition I keep for that

Good Day,

I have flashed Cyanogenmod 7.1 onto my phone 3 times with the same resulting problems each.

It looks beautiful but I have the following issues:

1)Does not allow data to come on. (wireless does work though)

2)Not sinking to HTC Sync/ google....so no contacts, or can't get apps downloaded.

Has anyone else had simialr problems? Because I am rather confused at the moment.

Still trying to work it out.

Any help much appreciated.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Appl_Usr:
Hi,

You might need to configure APN by yourself. Your provider's website should give you the correct username and password. For your other problems I recommend going to the Cyanogenmod forums for advice.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pwraggcan:
Data is probably an apn set up issue as previously said. Htc sync is for sense based roms only.

Sent from my Motorola Startac running Atari 2600 software!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stankyou:
1. Check the APN settings and make sure it's correct. Make sure data is enabled and you are not using 2G.

2. HTC sync will not work as it's not Sense UI I believe. Make sure you flash the separate add on for google apps so you get the market installed. Go to accounts and sync found under settings and sign in with your google account. That would download your contacts from google.

I hope this helps a bit with your transition from Sense UI to AOSP.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rkdeane:
thanks guys,

How do you change APN settings manually...when I enter APN i just get a blank screen. The other section selects them automatically....in my case LIME Barbados.

There is usually something listed here already. If there is none then on this part

Press Menu>New APN

Then enter your settings.

Once you are done with the settings, press back button to save it. Then make sure you have the gree dot next to to the APN name on.

[Galaxy S II General] peachpuff:
Try the "install zip from internal sdcard" option, i noticed recently they swapped these things around in the kernel. If you chose install from sdcard it tries to install from the external sdcard that you put in the phone, same goes for backup and restore.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Are you trying to use ROM Manager? it doesn't work on Galaxy S II. If you're using CF-Root then use CWM app that it installs.

1. Copy the Vending.apk of whatever version you want

2. Using Root explorer, go to it location

3. Copy it

4. Go to /system/app

5. Delete or rename to .bak the existing apk

6. Paste the copied Vending.apk

You are good to go here.

I have used root explorer. You could use anything else too of your choice.

This happened to me too. Cos I had to reinstall 2.2.2 again recently for some reason, and my market auto upgraded, and always FCed. No amount of clearing/wiping market data helped.

I did the same steps as I mentioned above, but used the Vending.apk distributed in 2.2.2 (2.2.3 too the same as 2.2.2 except that it uses KI3 modem while 2.2.2 uses KI4). And now market is working all fine.

The PC10IMG.zip from the bootloader is not recognized and it says wrong iamge.

Only PC10IMG_Vision_TMOUS_1.19.531.1_Radio_12.21.60.09b_26.02.01.15_M2_release_149459_signed.zip works. But from there I can only root, install rom mangaer and restore my old verison of cyanogenmod. even my "old" original image doesn't boot when I restore it.

CID is VODAP102 and a Goldcard is made with 3 different SD cards. So up to now I don't know anymoe what I can.

Maybe you can help me as I'm now trying to revert it for 4days and my girlfriend is getting more and more angry with me..

Android is at 20% on my system. I am am at 30% battery after 12 hours plus non-LTE usage. I think the main thing to worry about is whether or not your phone is awake when your screen is off. Also, Juice Defender seemed to cause conflicts, and my Razr has been better without it.
