I know you're new here, but everything takes time. Devs don't like to give timetable. It'll come when it’s ready. Bypassing the NT bootloader is possible. Locked bootloader on other android devices have been bypassed. More future android devices will come with locked bootloader. Devs will have to get used to it instead of targeting easier devices.

It took forever for BN to update NC from Eclair to Froyo. NC didn't have CM7 in a month. People wait it out instead of wishing it’d come right away. I bought NC when it's out. I am still waiting for my NT to arrive. It's been over 2 weeks. I know what I am getting when I am buying a NT.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] c0ldburn3r:
So where does one start throwing wads of cash for the devs working like mad scientists?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Indirect:
Just check the signatures of developers and see if they want to be donated to? :p Lol

Or PM the devs you want to donate to about their paypals incase you dont see a button anywhere.

Your welcome for the answer. I have yet to see a device that is as you call it "unhackable" it may take some ingenuity but it is imposable to make something "unhackable." We have a couple of new devs coming on bored here, and they will announce them selves when their ready. However, I would appreciate you posting your second comments in the General forum so we can try to keep this thread clean.

Thank you and let me know if you have any more questions.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] b-rad.cc:
hey guys. I don't have an NT, but I noticed it was released when I came back from a vacation and almost bought one...then came here and read about the typical BS netflix is pulling and held off. I want an ereader though, and the possibilities for this based off what the NC can do are very attractive to me, so irregardless of its (semi) locked down state I still want one.

Also I have experience hacking kexec functions into unwilling kernels, having achieved it on MIPS...although the MIPS arch I work on had some issues with it. I kept all my notes on what it took to get the module working and am confident I can make it happen again, as its all pretty straight forward. So IF and when I get an NT and this hasn't been completed yet I'm going to jump in on the bandwagon and see what I can do. I've been looking for a new platform to play around on lately anyways :) I'll probably set up the toolchain and do some digging around beforehand. I can at least compare code between kernels before I have a device to see whats new, as the kernels I've worked on previously were fairly oldish. Hopefully I can be of use when the time comes.

I am willing to donate $25 to you for your tablet.. how does one go about this? paypal?

I don't have a NT yet, I will probably get one shortly, esp if we can crack the bootloader BS.. I still want to walk into the BN in Union Square (largest in NYC) and demand to have them video call the CTO/CEO to here our story lol
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Indirect:
Record that, send it to me, and let me laugh my ass off.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] b-rad.cc:
cheers nycbjr :) I can't post external links for another 5 posts, but I added the paypal info so it shows up under my user name. I'll know that any donations tagged from xda are towards a nook tablet. If it happens that I get enough to cover the cost before I get one (boxing day probably) I'll buy it immediately.

I may have just squeeled like a little school girl.

Sounds very promising especially now that Adam is working some voodoo magic on this device.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] romified:
Concerning ICS, even if not directly available for the NT Cyanogenmod is making OMAP devices one of their first prorities for CM9 on tablets, which will make a port for the NT very likely. I don't think ICS will be an issue once the bootloader issue is resolved.

Hey all, how has development been going on bypassing the boot security? Has it stalled, or is there any glimmer of hope?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] scsione889:
They are still working on it. This will take time. It could be weeks or months before finding a way. This is an extremely difficult task. If there is no update saying development has stopped, assume they are still working on it.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ckevinwelch:
And I would recommend not asking for updates as it tends to annoy the devs. What they are doing is very tedious and frustrating, and it doesn't help to have people pestering them about updates.

I like to open the irc channel at night and the next morning read the things they discussed the night before. I don't understand most of it, but it gives me an appreciation for what they're going through.

Noob question: Since the Nt is similar to the Nc, does this mean roms for the Nt will come sooner rather than later?

As far as I have heard Nemith has a working/semi-working CWM up and running, as will I as soon as i get home. I already have a compiled toro source, without the antena at home (which has the graphics chip in it) I will try to set it up as a CWM package when I get home.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Indirect:
Sounded like an ETA Request...I love this though. Everyone at first was raging about how long it was taking, blah blah blah, now they say that we (developers) are super fast and asking for an ETA on a rom. LOL
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] vandizzam:
That was not an ETA question. I did not ask for a date or a time frame. I just want to know if the Nc roms might not be too difficult to port to the Nt. That was the question. If anyone was offended by this, I am sorry.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] GabrialDestruir:
Even though the devices look exactly the same on the outside, they have different internal hardware. So it'll be the same as porting to a brand new device and time to port may vary just as it would for a brand new device.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jsox79:
thanks to the hardwork. i thought it was rather fast indeed. but then ofcourse im used to waiting for devs to do their magic with devices. they certainly dont hack themselves, lol. thanks again, look forward to seeing more promising development.

I would very much appreciate a full guide on how to compile a kernel. My past experience with Samsung devices leaves me scratching my head. On most Samsung devices, you simply flash a zImage without the need for other schenanigans. If someone would please, make a guide.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jsp254:
That's it. Dodge's kernels are some of the best for sense roms. For aosp, which will be most appropriate for the nt for obvious reasons, I would suggest talking to sparksco in that forum group.

NSA High Security Build of Android

The NSA has a high security build of Android out. Didn't know if this would be interesting to the devs working on this project and if some (if any) of the benefits could be worked into the nook tablet project.

Here's one article on it:

linuxfordevices.com/c/a/News/SE-Android-publicly-released/

Here's the public release of the NSA secure Android build:

selinuxproject.org/page/SEAndroid

In summary:

Security Enhanced (SE) Android will isolate apps from one another, mitigate problems introduced by flawed or malicious apps, prevent apps from accessing system resources, ensure proper permission levels, and perform security checks. Every file and folder on the device can be individually locked and encrypted. In addition, Wi-Fi and mobile network security features are said to have been enhanced. SE Android is a project to identify and address critical gaps in the security of Android," the agency stated in the project documentation. Android's application security model allows apps run by a particular user to have access to all of the files and resources normally available to that user. This has been an issue with apps that have too much control over device elements like Bluetooth and the camera. To address this, SE Android uses Mandatory Access Control, which relies on policies to restrict the system resources available to the app regardless of user permissions. "Even if an application were to break out of its security sandbox, it would have limited ability to affect core system functionality," Cameron Camp, an ESET researcher, wrote on the ESET Threat Blog.

[About XDA developers] maxh:
Many of us are rocking AMOLED displays on our devices now, and there's no telling how many hours of battery life I've burnt up viewing the forums here with their light yellow/white backgrounds. Please throw together a dark theme for us so we can double our battery life and spend twice as much time here!

Black and dark grey background elements with grey or red text would be awesome. Visually, I prefer the current themes, but it would make a big difference for all of us with AMOLED displays, since a black pixel isn't burning any energy, but a white pixel is burning as much as possible (unlike LCDs where the backlight is on no matter what color is displayed.) Also, my girlfriend will greatly appreciate it when I'm browsing late at night in bed.

Also, please send me a PM when this is implemented so I can change it ASAP. Thanks, and I'll definitely donate if this happens!
[About XDA developers] cdesai:
There is a black theme for the app, switch to it from settings, and you can find themed apks with many colors
[About XDA developers] svetius:
Correct, if your on an Android device, the XDA app can be set to a dark theme.

Just open the app, tap Menu key > More > Settings > Display Style. Change that from Light to Dark. Thats it!
[About XDA developers] carnagecjb:
Perhaps I'm missing something obvious, but mine (XDA Pro app) doesn't have that setting. :(

Under Display Style, I only have the options:

XDA Premium

Simple

XDA Free

Am I missing something?

I tried updating, but I'm currently on newest, and a re-install didn't fix anything.

Making it darker would be terrific, but I'm not sure I want to install a themed APK just for that. I enjoy the market updating things too much to try and keep track of one more thing manually. :P
[About XDA developers] carnagecjb:
I got some time to try and play with the settings for a bit, and the setting labeled as "Simple" is a dark display, and the other two have varying levels of brightness.

Other than that, I did not have time to do an in-depth comparison of the differences.

You can't flash themes on an odexed ROM. someone has to make the theme on a deodexed rom, then convert it into and odexed form.

this is what i understand. I must sound like a broken record, but you can take the images out of your theme of choice and install them in your Odex ROM (stock ROM for example) and have an odexed ROM themed to your liking. Its called Ninjamorph.

In general, why do ROMs behave differently for different users? Hardware differences?

I'm in your same boat... the only major problem I have is the xda app force closing on me... that's about it.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Because like I have always said, EVERY phone is different. There are imperfections in the die cutting process of the chips, allowing some phones to overclock at 1400 Mhz and others can't go beyond 1100. The same goes for sd cards and memory on the phone. Add into that interaction with thousands of different apps and versions. Now throw in the fact that Clockworkmod is not for our phone but was ported allows for more bugs in the mix. There are other factors like data corruption. The best shot at getting 2 phones to have similiar experiences is for each to be taken back to the same stock tar, root the same way, don't restore any data, flash the ROM, then set everything back up again and redownload apps fresh from the market. Once you vary from that "start fresh" format it is similiar to painting over a stained wall. Sometimes it covers, sometimes the stains bleed through.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h16h:
Thanks, you confirmed my original assumptions.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sherrillface:
Also depends on previous setup before rom flash usually different between users things like ext. 4 or rfs some roms are different so you should always read everything on previous rom and new rom before flash.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HorreC:
Also the phones seem to also use different hardware, like different revisions and actually different chipsets. Just read a thread right off the bat and if you have issues then wait a day or two and read the new posts and see what the issues are and see if those things will bother you before you try and make back ups all the time.
