[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] yaggermr:
I struggle when reading the forums why it is an us vs them mentality. I used the kindle fire guide on xda to help install google services on the nook tablet. Also many aspects of the kindle development help nook tablet users like myself. I enjoy my nook tablet but that doesn't me the Kindle Fire is garbage. I just think xda is about development and helping users get the most from their devices. I think sometimes brand identiy gets in the way. Thanks
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] skeeterpro:
True enough. There's always going to be a natural competitiveness with any thing...tabs included. Trying to tweak and achieve desired goals will engender such feelings. Actually, it's "us" against the manufacturers who, more or less with their locks and hurdles, knowingly or otherwise try to lock down their devices. I can appreciate why. Saves support! And if a user is locked into one content provider even better for them.

Competition can be a good thing. I agree that it need not get "personal" though.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lionclaw:
IMHO...

It's a competition because people have a need to internally justify their actions (or purchases in this case). Most people will not be buying both devices, so they have to choose one or the other. Once they make a choice, they don't want to feel like they made a mistake, so they try to convince others (and themselves) that they made the right choice.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] yaggermr:
Thanks a good point. I guess it explains the the thought process. People have to justify there purchases.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] DarkDvr:
Why is there an iOS vs Android mentality =))
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] conundrum768:
Because all cults hate an open-platform mentality. ;)

Mentality

The title of this Forum - "Nook Tablet General" indicates the orientation of the people participating here. This gives us a place to comment on features of our chosen device, and compare them to comparable devices.

At the moment the Amazon Fire is the only comparable device.

If you find a forum just titled "Tablet General", it might not have the same vendor specific focus.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Drewmungus:
For me personally it comes from second guessing my own purchase. The two are really close spec wise and in price. For me it was a really hard choice, but in the end I am satisfied with my choice. The kindle fire forum is bookmarked right next to the Nook Tablet forum.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Frostcall:
Glad to see someone else gets it!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] byronczimmer:

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Germwise:
Well for me its interesting to get both perspectives.

I'm looking for a tablet to read and annotate PDFs, light browsing, and maybe a few games?

Nook is clearly the winner spec wise but I am about to renew my audible subscription meaning the fire would be ~99 dollars for me vs 250 for nook.

bahh!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] kevin_405:
How did u get fire for 99$ by renewing audible?

Get 100 dollars off kindle fire if you buy audible subscription for 1 year

Nope. It's because Jobs wants a complete end-to-end control of user experience. Android is all over the maps with new, old, and customized OS. It's a mess to deploy apps compatible for all versions.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] yaggermr:
This thread asked a simple question but the bickering between android over apple has to show up. The same old stupid arguments over and over. I can't understand why there is a need to argue this in every forum. The broken record of mines better than yours.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] postulio:
I feel it comes from the fact that the two tablets themselves are in competition for our money.

We want to get the most for our money. So when we pay more for a device that [right now] does less, its a bit disheartening and can lead people to argue one side to another, many have returned their nooks even.

the specs, by the way, dont paint the whole story:

While the Fire is 8gb, ~6gb of which are available to the user, the NT has only 1gb available. Since the bootloader is locked and signed, it might be impossible (and certainly difficult) to regain that space for storage of music, videos etc.

Sure you can get a microSD card, but thats another ~15-30$. So right off the the bat your NT is costing you at least $70 more than a kindle.

storage space aside, its up to each individual to decide if the price of admission is worth an extra 512mb ram and a mic. with a memory card it does after all come out to ~$70 extra price tag, for a device that *may* never run custom firmware and doesnt play host to as many developers as the kindle.

So there, its Kindle vs Nook here because its Kindle vs Nook in the marketplace. each device has its pros and cons and one device might be better for a certain person than the other. This will naturally lead to a discussion of which is "better" [which in reality should simply read "which is better *for me*"]

I would appreciate any feedback on using the Jawbone Era on Samsung Galaxy S2.

Such as music quality

Clarity of voice on phone calls

Various other features of Era and what you think.:confused:
[Galaxy S II Accessories] dusanzk:
I've been using the Jawbone ERA with my SGS 2 for about 2 months now.

Pairing is simple.

It's a pretty good setup. Battery life is better than the Hero. I get about 3 days but that depends on how much you use the Era.

Also, using the ERA with 2 devices at the same time puts a strain on your battery life and from what i can tell you can't be connected to both devices using A2DP, only one at a time.

Voice quality is good, no break ups or crackling, i've used headsets like the Hero, Plantronics Savor, Jabra Stone 2. I really can't tell the difference in call quality between all of them, they're all good to me.

I have had instances where people have told me that they can't really hear me when i'm using the ERA, apparently it lasts for about 5 seconds when i'm on a call, i can hear people very well but they can't seem to hear me but i think it's just to do with where i'm situated, i have loads of wireless devices like bluetooth keyboards, mice, wireless routers and just a ton of laptops and devices using bluetooth and wi-fi.

Music quality is also good although, using A2DP shortens your battery life to about 3 hours + after about 15 minutes of using the ERA for playing music through A2DP the ERA get's a little bit warm which i personally don't mind but others might find it annoying.

I haven't used the voice dialing feature cause i've set up my ERA to call my favourite number when i press and hold the button. That works well.

The MyTalk website is pretty cool, the different voices are a nice touch.

That's all i can think of right now, let me know if you need any other info

Hey guys, I had found a new custom experimental CyanogenMod 7.1 for Optimus 2x Su660 , along with custom kernel at code.google.com/p/open2x/

The CyanogenMod can be downloaded at code.google.com/p/open2x/downloads/detail?name=update-cm-7.1.0-Optimus2X-SU660-KANG-signed-fixed.zip

I cannot install it using CWM-based Recovery v5.0.2.7 because I get this error

assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "su660" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "su660" || getprop("ro.product.board") == "su660"

I'll post instructions here if I find a way to install this mod correctly. If you had successfully install this mod, please share how did you do it.
[LG Optimus 2x] rockuad:
modify system/google/com/updater-scipt

replace all character "p990" with "su660".

try again.
[LG Optimus 2x] alimiop:
Same error :

By rockuad:

modify system/google/com/updater-scipt

replace all character "p990" with "su660".

try again.

.......

thats no "p990" to replace ..i dont find it can you check the file /updater-scipt please
[LG Optimus 2x] rockuad:
Are you sure that the CWM recovery 5.0.2.7 is the custom for su660,and it is not for p990 ?

The CWM recovery 5.0.2.7 by the XDA froum is only for p990.

You should download the custom version of CWM recovery for su660.

Search the key words "recovery su660", download it from chinese sites.

I know there are 4.0.1.4 version for su660.

Good lucky.

Cyanogenmod 9 ICS 4.03 on SU660

This blog help me install Ice Cream Sandwich on my LG SU660.

optimus-android.blogspot.com/2012/03/how-to-install-ice-cream-sandwich-ics.html
[LG Optimus 2x] chupi_24:
any feedback on this ICS port for SU660?currently using CM7 kang of openstar2x...would like to try ICS but would like to know if theres any advantages of this over CM7...by the way thanks for posting this! its a pain in the a$$ to find custom ROMS for SU660
[LG Optimus 2x] eatblueorange:
CM9 seems fast than CM7 and its ICS 4. The address book and Message Thread looks nice. The drawback is the video recorder cannot be used because there is no media encoder or decoder yet so you can't record video using the stock camera but you can use Video Illusion in the market to record videos.
[LG Optimus 2x] chupi_24:
is it OK to flash the CM9 w/out wiping data(got games with a lot of data)...i also found that there are some issues with CM9 aside from video encoder though i forgot it already...will try this one tom(data connection here in is super slow specially one from my carrier)...thanks again for this!Its really hard to find custom ROMS for su660...if there is any...its in chinese and even if i translate page by google still unable to understand it
[LG Optimus 2x] eatblueorange:
I did not wipe my data when i upgraded to CM9 and my applications were still there. I was previously using Open2x CM7 before the upgrade.
[LG Optimus 2x] piiiters:

Man, if you want to keep phone alive for longer time, don't test custom ROMs all the time. w8 for official ICS and be happy :)

But if you really like to test "whats inside teddy" then look here: http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=236450
[LG Optimus 2x] sneezemeat:
CM9 is running pretty well on my phone. Issues so far are:

Video camera doesn't work (need to use a seperate app)

Play Store closes frequently. Need to clear the cache for it to work sometimes.

Everything else has worked well so far, it is very slick!
[LG Optimus 2x] aragorn7:
+1 on no video recording on my SU660 CM9.

Sneezemeat, which separate app are you using?
[LG Optimus 2x] sneezemeat:
Videocam Illusion, it records video but it's not great. My camera has a lot of lag when taking photos too.

Does anyone know if there is an update available for CM9 on the SU660?
[LG Optimus 2x] Deleted member 4628108:

[LG Optimus 2x] aragorn7:
i don't play games on my phone...do you have any you'd recommend me to test it out?
[LG Optimus 2x] chupi_24:
can you check if you experience time zone not updated(i believe need to flash the nitz.zip fiel but last time i tried it didnt work), frozen time on notification bar, glitchy browser, accelerometer issue on games on owains latest kang? you can try temple run and check if accelerometer is inverted(if you tilt left, character will got to the right)

thanks so much if you can test!will try to download owains latest kang later...whats you first impression of the latest kang?got any issues ecxperience on owains orig thread by p990 users?
[LG Optimus 2x] aragorn7:
Chupi:

1. So the major glitch for me was the lack of phone. I couldn't make calls or get into network settings. I think others have reported this too.

2. The time updated fine after nitz flash. Time didn't freeze on the notification bar.

3. Browser was speedy and stable for the most part. The only glitch was display flashing multiple times when adding a new tab.

4. Accelorometer worked fine. Tested on Temple Run and the character moved left and right ok via tilts.

** overall, I love the Kang60. It's super fast (as shown in previous post)! It's just too bad the phone calls didn't work, because otherwise, I'd have kept it. I went back to Kang30-SU660 for now.

I wonder if it has to do with the Kang60 being made specifically for p990.

Anyway, those are my observations...hope they are of some help.
[LG Optimus 2x] boybakat:
Hi guys, i tried flashing mc9 rc-90 rom on my su660 last night and here's the error that i've encountered

1.) gapps are Fcing for some reason.

2.) can't connet or make any call

3. this is the biggie, whenever i plug my phone on a usb connection, my phone suddenly reboot, and when i go to setting to change usb connection setting into MTP my phone would reboot again.. do you know how to fix this guys? thanks
[LG Optimus 2x] aragorn7:
Chupi_24: this is no longer true.

It turns out I was restoring corrupted phone call settings when using Titanium Backup to restore apps on the new build. So I resolved my issue by NOT restoring system apps and only restoring user added apps.

One more minor annoyance to add to my previous post about CM9-K60 is that the dialog for apps requesting superuser keeps popping up, even after checking "remember."

Other than that, it's simply WONDERFUL.

So now I'm back on CM9-K60 and am a very, very happy camper! :D

---------- Post added at 11:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:56 PM ----------

Which one(s)? I used to have issue with Play and Map, and resolved it by wiping data on those specific apps.

Wish I could help you more, but don't have experience with that rom. Good luck.
[LG Optimus 2x] boybakat:
oh..its cm9 owain rc-60 .. tried wiping files but still getting the same error
[LG Optimus 2x] aragorn7:
Hmm...did you try flashing the latest gapps? I used this one here:

http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip

And just to make sure we're talking about the same things...I used Titanium Backup, selected the app that gave me the error, and pressed "wipe data." Is that similar to what you did?

If so, I'm running out of ideas because that's what resolved mine before.
[LG Optimus 2x] sneezemeat:
Does the camera work with this release?

I'm not into flashing my phone often, I think I'm currently running CM9.0.0-RC0-p990-KANG from March 7 and it runs fine, except for the camera being incredibly laggy and video recording only available from 3rd party applications.

Any advice on if I should change to this release?
[LG Optimus 2x] chupi_24:
thanks aragorn for the very detailed feedback and also for answring all my queries specially testing the game part because i love to play games on my SU660..i already downloaded the latest KANG 60 of owains CM9..still charging my fone to full battery before i can flash it...also need to back up may apps and my current ROM..havent flash a new rom for a long time :)
[LG Optimus 2x] aragorn7:
Camera works. It takes 2-3 second to take a picture. Don't know if that's a normal range or if that's slow, though.

Video recording and playback both don't work. I think that's the same as previous builds.

***********

Since you said, you're not into flashing often, then maybe it's not for you...I am a firm believer of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." So if you're happy with the March 7 KANG, then you might not want the hassle and perhaps wait for a (more) stable release.

I think you're making a wise move in asking and in waiting, since every Kang is technically "under development" and may not be stable for whatever unknown reason (i.e. some Kangs are more "usable" than others).

For me, I got into this whole business of flashing mainly because the original stock was too slow. From what I've read, the dual core 1 GHz in the Optimus 2X should be faster than what I was originally experiencing. Then I got introduced to Owain's Kang, and I've been flashing away....

So if speed is an important consideration, please see my post #19 above. I used to have Owain's March 29th Kang, which was faster than the stock but the latest one is much, much faster. I'm loving the speed.

So again, I guess it comes down to whether current "imperfections" (if any) of the Kang you're using is tolerable or not. If they are not (as it was for me with earlier builds for one reason or another), then maybe it's worth the exploration into the new.

(...maybe too long of a reply for a simple question.)

You're most certainly welcome. I've been helped by you and others here in the community, so it's great to contribute back to the community....:)

FYI...It looks like Owain put out another newer build #61 in matter of few days after the 60. Haven't flashed that one yet since I'm still happy with the 60 so far.

Hope you enjoy gaming on the new rom!

[LG Optimus 2x] sneezemeat:
Cool - that's a great response, so thanks for taking the time! Currently it runs perfectly fine, just the camera is incredibly laggy (the image displayed from the camera is about 15s delayed from what it is actually looking at) so it's impossible to take a photo. The reason I switched from the Stock ROM was for speed and to get rid of all the Korean bloatware that came preinstalled. I'll consider flashing if I have the patience!

Thanks for your advice :)

What version of Kang should I choose? 60 or 62?

Hi Aragorn,

As I read your responses and posts, you help so many SU660 users. I just want to know what should I choose KANG Versions: 60 or 62? I tested the 63 but there are bugs. Undo Button and Menu.

I hope you can help me.

Thanks.

[LG Optimus 2x] aragorn7:
I haven't tested 63 yet, but I have been using Owain's build#62 on my SU660. So far, I had the greatest stability and success with it for my daily use. And it's super fast. I'm loving it.

As to your question, I'm not sure I understood you. Are you saying that your home key is not working after your flash the kang? It may be that you need a different kernel, one specific for SU660 and not p990....but I'm not sure from what you described.

And I am no expert on these things. I am a newbie myself and got to flashing Owain's Kang for just one month now. I'm just another user trying to learn (and help, if at all possible) whenever I can.

Can you help me about this on how to mount Internal SD Card from Kang 64 or from Kang 62?

Because when I was upgraded to the latest versions, it was so nice but I noticed that the Internal SD Card cannot be seen in screen nor mounted. only the External.

Can somebody help me?

Thanks.
[LG Optimus 2x] aragorn7:
You may already have it mounted but may be looking at it in the wrong place.

I believe with these kangs the internal is mounted on /mnt/sdcard and the external is mounted on /mnt/emmc

So, what steps should i follow so that I can see bought SD Cards from my Computer when I will connect my SU660 to it? I tried Kang 64 but I see only External SD Cards.
