[Nook Color General] Matt_WhatsAnIPad:
I had some trouble installing CM7 in my last posts. Now I have one for both my wife and I . We are not into Netflix, flash or anything fancy, just want to be able to install apps from Google Market like Angry Birds and install apps like my Office Viewer.

I have very successfully installed custom ROMs on my GTablet but I want to keep it easy on my Nooks, which both at 1.3.0. The new one has the 1 GB data partition so that will need to change. I see 3 main options:

1. Install Manual Nooter.

2. Install CM7 on a uSD.

3. Install CM7 on the nook.

Are there any other compelling options that I should consider like Phiremod? My main goal is stability and reliability - this will likely be the only mod I do short of a major Android release down the road. And since I have to apply it to two Nooks, ease of install and maintenance would be nice.

Thanks for suggestions.

Matt
[Nook Color General] davidr415:
You might want to check out MiUi. It is a different enough experience that it is appealing to some (me included). I am running v 1.9.16 from a microSD card, although most put it on the internal memory.

See: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1161914

It tends to be a simpler, stable and a very smooth running interface... especially good if you deal with a limited number of apps since it doesn't use an app drawer but has everything on the main screens (like the iPad).
[Nook Color General] docfreed:
I would heartily endorse the use of MIUI on an SD Card - it is very easy to implement using the Multiboot installer from here: http://forum.xda developers.com/showthread.php?t=1022786, thus leaving your Nook intact and it runs very smoothly - for me it runs much more smoothly than CM7.

Noob or not, it's a great ROM - I run it from a Sandisk Class 2 16 Gb microSD.
[Nook Color General] davidr415:
It's important to use a Sandisk card. Otherwise you will be disappointed. There are several threads on this in case you haven't read them. My personal experience has also proved this to be true.
[Nook Color General] patruns:
I would suggest that you wait a little longer as the stock NCs will be getting a fairly significant update soon so that they will include Netflix and Hulu and some other B&N store items. It is not clear whether this will also be an upgrade to Gingerbread & I have no idea whether this will change the partitions again.
[Android Themes] Fun With Drugs:
So I've been asking for help from all the great LS-Themers on XDA with little things like changing the music controls to notifications to resolution, etc.

I've been wanting to do the edits myself, but XML editing seemed a little hard.

Anyway, I tried today and correct me if I'm wrong, but, when you want to edit the XML of a LS, you change the mtz file to zip. Unzip it and you should be presented with the files in that lockscreen, pngs, etc.

I unzipped my current LS, 'iDroid.' I got none of that.

I'm attaching the screenshot of what shows when I unzip it.

In the 'description' XML file, I don't get a huge XML code..I get this;

This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below.
<MIUI-Theme><title>iDroid Slide2Unlock</title><author>thefsfempire</author><version>1.0</version><uiVersion>1</uiVersion></MIUI-Theme>

I've opened it with the XML Editor that's on my computer. Microsoft Word and Firefox. They all show that ^

And then there's that 'lockscreen' file. That's just...a file. I can't do anything with it.

There are no folders that show the pngs and stuff.

What am I doing wrong? D: I want to start editing little things on my own, instead of asking everyone all the time.
[Android Themes] wez89:
Add .zip to the end of the lock screen that just says 'file' and extract
[Android Themes] Fun With Drugs:
Oooh ok. I got it. Thanks. I didn't know you had to change that to zip too.

Okay, so now that I got the editor and I can start changing little things.

In order for this to take effect, I need to save it over the original file as XML.

What about this 'manifest.xml.bak' file? Should I do anything with that, or leave it alone?

Once I've done the edits and save. I need to rezip the advanced folder it's in with 'themes value' that was unzipped with it, then how do I rename it back to just a 'file' type?
[Android Themes] wez89:
You don't need the manifest.xml.bak you can delete that if you want

To zip it back up you need winrar

You need to have everything in the right folders, so you need your advance folder with your manifest in there, and you need the theme_value..

You have to add those 2, to archive by selecting them and right clicking

Then with the winrar pop up you need to make sure 'store' is selected under compression or method, not at a computer/laptop so not 100% which it is and also make sure zip is selected not rar

Finally remove zip extension from the file and zip the whole lock screen back
[Android Themes] Fun With Drugs:
EDIT: NVM I GOT IT. YAY. Haha. I can now do little things by myself on future lockscreens.

Now, the next thing I need to learn how to do is changing battery charging status and pngs.
[Android Themes] picard666:
you can use the "old format":

that is

your_theme

|__description.xml

|__preview (optional)

|__lockscreen (it is a folder)

......|__advanced (it is a folder too, coming from lockscreen)

..............|__all lockscreen stuff (as files)

......|__theme_values.xml (in lockscreen)

you ahve to zip in the contents of "your_theme" and name it mtz. then copy to phone and phone asks if you want to convert to new format. chooese yes and done
[Android Themes] wez89:
When you have zipped it up using the store and zip options, and are left with lock screen.zip.. Open the zip with winrar, don't extract just open, when winrar opens with the files go back a step so you can see the lock screen.zip rather than its files and just delete the zip extension that way and close winrar

---------- Post added at 12:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:33 AM ----------

This method is by far easy and quicker in my honest opinion :)
[Android Themes] Fun With Drugs:
Alrighty then.

Now onto my next issue.

How hard would it be to take away the charging battery/status off this lockscreen and replace it with this kind of battery charging status?

As you can see, the default iPhone charging covers up the music controls and notifications when they come in. I want just the simple glowing bar above the unlocker like the other one.
[Android Themes] picard666:
if you have both manifests then you can swap in the battery section to the ls you want (look for "battery")

you have to copy the appropiate images to your ls and might have to change coordinates
[Android Themes] Fun With Drugs:
Thanks Picard. That wasn't as hard as I thought.

I deleted all the battery images from the first one and put in the ones from the second.

Deleted the battery section in the XML and replaced it with the other.

Changed the coordinates and ****ing bam! I did it!

Edit; Fixed my coordinate mistake.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] piffdaddy420:
So I read that it was not possible ti get a captivate modem/rom to support 4g/hspa+

However I read several ppl on here get the h+ with their captivate?

I look thru the roms but none say hspa+...

Can someone help me out and tell me which rom I can get the h+ with?

3g ib my area is terrible I get 50kbps if I'm lucky, and h+ is available here...

Thanks so much. I really hope its possible, I love captivate and would hate to have to get a new phone...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
Unfortunately, our phones don't support H+. We can get HSDPA, and the i9000 modems can get HSUPA, but that's not true H+. However, if HSDPA/HSUPA is acceptable, try flashing an i9000 modem/kernel/rom setup and see if that works for you.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
if 3g in your area is that crappy, dont think that hspa is going to fix it. it all rides on the same bands/frequencies. hspa+ is just an increased 3G. in my experience with all my '4G' devices, excluding my LTE ones, obviously, its no different than rocking an i9000 rom/modem on my captivate.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4-2ndtwin:
To clarify this one thing for ya...

Those reporting the "H+" on their Captivate were more than likely running one of the previously leaked i897 firmwares, that had that built into the leak itself. So nothing official and probably someone thought it would be cool, funny, etc. etc.

The latest i897 leaks are back to just showing the "3G".

Anyway, just an fyi.
[HTC Rezound] GoBears:
Hey everybody, I currently have a Bionic. It's actually running pretty good now after installing leaks. The main problem I have left is stutters every minute or two when streaming Slacker/Pandora to my car's headunit. Because of this I got Big Red to give me an early upgrade with limits on the phones I can choose. Right now the best phone I can choose is the Rezound. Anyone here have the Bionic prior to the Rezound? If so, what do you like better or worse about it? I have until Mon to make up my mind. Any bluetooth streaming problems? Any comments or opinions are welcome.

Thanks in advance

BionicBlues
[HTC Rezound] ATFNightHunter:
If it helps, I had the RAZR for 3 days before i got the Rezound,

The Screen is heads and shoulders above both the RAZRs and the Bionic's, Pentile can't even compare to this.

I haven't had any stutters on Bluetooth or on Pandora.

Battery life isn't fantastic but its good enough, I can get through the day with no charging and moderate 4g usage.
[HTC Rezound] allareconnected:
I have the Bionic and just bought the Rezound today... Very happy with my decision, here are some key differences...

1) Rezound Camera is Superior

2) Data & Voice at the SAME time! This is a huge bonus HTC has given us and nobody talks about it - smh

3) Screen is 2nd to none... I've owned A LOT of phones over the past 18 months including iPhone 4s, Nexus S, & Bionic. All claim to have great screens but I would put the Rezound on top followed by iPhone 4s & Nexus S.

4) HTC Sense is the best user interface by far for Android at this time...

5) umm... Dre Beats headphones and audio enhancements of course!

6) Rezound is just an all-around sexier phone ;-)

Hope this helps!
[HTC Rezound] GoBears:
Nice! Thanks guys. I appreciate the comments. I'm leaning towards getting it but with the GNex on the horizon I want to be sure. The bluetooth streaming is VERY important to me. If you guys think of anything else please post it.

Thanks again

[HTC Rezound] GoBears:
Cool guys thanks. Now I'm looking into Zumocast alternatives because I really love that app.
[HTC Rezound] PrsnlCrcl:
I was having a difficult time trying to decide between the Rezound and the Nexus, but the deal breaker on the Nexus for me is the no additional storage. That may not be a big deal for some people, but not having as an option sealed the deal on the Rezound for me.
[HTC Rezound] reverepats:
But that's only good if you bought the phone today right? Someone here said that the 15th was the start date for the extension
[HTC Rezound] JTNiggle:
I had the same problem with my Bionic, returned it for the reZound yesterday and couldn't be happier. Like others have said, the screen is insane and it doesn't lag like the Bionic.

[HTC Rezound] nrage23:
There is a hacked version of Zumocast floating around in the XDA Forums to work with any device. I have Zumocast working on my Eeepad Transformer and my Rezound. Also I came from the Bionic and this phone is much better all around. I agree with everything Allareconnected said in his post.

Here is the link to the Zumocast from my dropbox.

http://db.tt/98QN8fiu
[HTC Rezound] GoBears:
Thanks nrage. That was my final piece. I remember that patched version now. I put that on my xoom. Come Monday when CS calls me back, I'll be getting my Rezound. I really haven't heard anything bad only positives. Too bad for the Bionic, this phone COULD be spectacular.
[HTC Rezound] FcoT:
I also had the Bionic, but returned it that same week. The one thing that killed it was a grounding feedback noise whenever you connected a headphone. But over all, the Bionic is way out of its league compare to the trifecta.
[HTC Rezound] GoBears:
The leaks cleared up my data issues and I never had the headphone noise. I really do like the screen too, I mean you can see it fine in direct sun. It's just the sub par camera and the bluetooth issues that are driving me crazy. The Rezound's display is beautiful and camera much better. The lack of root is kind of unsettling tho. I'm also worried that the majority of devs are going to flock to the GNex.
[HTC Rezound] riotdog7:
There's exactly a cracked zumocast app on xda... I installed it a few hours ago on my Rezound, and its working perfectly !!!!
[HTC Rezound] bisquick24:
I'm concerned about dev support too..The Bionic made me a daily android phone blog reader since February, I was ready to buy one until I heard the rumors about the Vigor and now it's here (as the Rezound). Played with it at the store and came away generally impressed. But I imagine I'd want to tinker with it and trick it out.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gazwa1985:
Hi, Hope some1 can help me!

ok.. so i have been installing custom roms etc within the last couple of months.. the latest one i used was RCMIX3D Runnymede. This was working absolutely fine until one day the WIFI, the bluetooth, and the up and down volume keys all stopped working. When trying to turn on wifi it says Error. same with bluetooth... i have tried absolutly everything to sort this out. different roms etc.. the volume buttons don't even work in bootloader recovery mode!

I have now managed to install the RUU stock rom 1.32 using my laptop.. and still nothing works..

so i'm thinking must be a hardware problem?! and wanting to send to HTC for a repair... thing is.. i am wondering will they know i have rooted and installed custom roms etc?.. as i now have stock rom from RUU and will update to 2.3.5 via OTA on my 3g network..

Is there anything else i need to do? or have i messed up my chances to get my DHD repaired on the warranty?

Really hope somebody can help!! as this is doing my nut! :confused:

Cheers

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gazwa1985:
Surely somebody would know if rooting etc would void the warranty?! i have stock rom and now unrooted......:confused:
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I've just sent my phone back for replacement (long story short, HTC didn't repair my phone completely when they were supposed to, I had to take my phone back, didn't have time to replace it, and after some haggling I finally have got them to get a replacement sorted for me). I sent it back rooted, but with stock firmware (apparently Mac users don't exist, and I'm not installing a copy of Windows on my system just to unroot my phone).

Note that in the Nexus One warranty policy, there was a clause "h", which stated that rooting voided the phone's warranty. None of the phones since, whether that be the Desire or the Desire HD, have this clause. So it is safe to assume, and you have a strong point to argue, that rooting does not void your warranty, though if you come to brick your phone, of course, you won't be covered.

There is no other clause, apart from this clause "h", that covers software; it all covers hardware failure.

Finally, there are loads of stories that I've read of people sending off rooted phones for repair, and them coming back rooted, whereas there are few of phones being rooted, and being refused repair. Also, as you will know, to restore the phone to a standard, completely stock, factory fresh state, all you do is run the RUU; sending a phone back when a simple RUU restore is possible, to me at least, would not be economical, both in terms of time and money.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DexterMorganNL:
Get it back on s-on using Easy Radio tool v2_2 found here on xda http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=857537 and unroot and it should be fine.

However I understand you can´t use volume buttons, but well if you can root the device with visonary then you can do s-on using the tool I mentioned.

After that call HTC explain them your problem and send it for repair. I guess they will not find any traces that you used custom roms and also I heard from several people on www.tweakers.net who used custom roms and even didnt return it on s-on still got there warranty when they had it go for repair.

But most important don't mention about root or custom roms to HTC, aslong as you do that they will probably give the warranty and also HTC is not one doing the repairs it are external repair companies so it might be different for each country.

And yes if you would still have the custom rom on it would void your warranty, that's why I would always put it back to stock if possible, but about root I don't know, but before In returned in my phone for repair I just did a factory reset so that all data was gone and any traces off root.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gazwa1985:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Izmir Stinger:
You may have a defective battery, mine charges as quickly as expected. Note: charging via a computer's USB port is always slower than charging from a wall outlet (though it does top the charge off slightly higher), though this rarely delays charging by more than 30 mins.
