You can press "Skip" and use the nook tablet without registering a CC, so it's not an issue.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Lucifus:
Put me down for $20; would be great to get his input.

Besides, not like we'll cry over ten or twenty bucks. ^_^
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] phon00b:
So, I gotta ask, for those of us have no experience with custom roms, what's the big benefit to it? Is it just prettier or is there a lot to gain in terms of functionality?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] suicideclown:
With this thing fully unlocked, we may be able to access the bluetooth if there is one deactivated like the nook color, we can also hook up usb drives, it could read files from your camera and function as a larger previewer of files on the go. Run faster, FULL access to apps on the app market and not this half ass am i compatible or not crap we are currently getting. and more i am sure i am leaving out
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Indirect:
Its deactivated. Otherwise, there wouldn't be bluetooth config files in /etc/bluetooth/

Hey, guys!

I would be happy to donate another $10.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] thatdude90210:
Count me in for $10.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] GTOJim:
Ill toss $10 into the pot
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] kusje:
$20 bucks from me.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] magius:
$20 from me. Just pm me the details on how we are donating, Paypal is my guess, correct?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] gordon1hd1:
Ya i am thinking PayPal, although i am not sure which is the easiest, giving the money (via PayPal) directly to Rayman84, and let him order the NT from amazon (assuming no VAT), or me or someone else in the forum (like Indirect) buying it and shipping it to him.

But before we start send money over PayPal, lets see if we can find enough interested to pull together the $300 dollar first. Then we worry about the logistic of collecting the money and buying/shipping the NT.

But so far things look encouraging, with everyone commitment so far, we are more then halfway there.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] phroeix:
Count me in with $10 bucks
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] plainspoken:
Next step

Hi Gordon,

Great initiative! Count me in too: 10, 20 or 50 bucks if that's what is missing. I suggest to start collecting to root out counting on funds from people who got caught in bidding excitement. I have full confidence you will get there.

Probably it is best to collect the funds at the person who is actually going to buy the thing and have it shipped...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Loglud:
I will collect the money tonight and ship it too him. He has also contacted me expressing intrest, and I am very interested in getting him the tablet. I dont know how you guys feel safest donateing money. I will set up an email/paypal through the wiki if thats what you all would like.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] gordon1hd1:
I put you down for $20 plainspoken, with your committment we stand at $210, we are more then 2/3 way there.

That sounds great, since i think everyone in the forum know you better Loglud then me, so I think you will have a lot easier time collecting then I would. Just setup the paypal account let us know where to send the money :)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Indirect:
Would think people would know me more than loglud though. :o
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] gordon1hd1:
Lol, i think both of you guys have high credibility with this forum, and all the forum's active members, so either one of you will be great for this role (at least a lot better then me at it).

Tell you what, when we have a NC v3 (NC, NT, NZ maybe?) donation campaign, i remember to put your name ahead of loglud. Hehe.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Loglud:
Well I'm sending him it tonight if that's ok with you Gordon?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] gordon1hd1:
That is ok with me, but since you haven't collected the money yet, and we don't have enough donation commitment to cover all the cost yet, you are taking a small financial risk by purchasing and send the NT early. But if you don't mind taking the risk, then i am not against it.

Just provide us with the information to send the money(via PayPal) to you soon.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Indirect:
Alright guys, I think we need to actually change who this donation is for, I suggest we give it to adamoutler (I was waiting for him to show SOME interest in it) and that way we can have an unbrickable mod on the tablet.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] B00M!:
Well, he does talk like he is more sure that he can do it than rayman84...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Indirect:
BOOM! He will be able to do it. He's done it for multiple devices before.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] kusje:
Could you provide a more detailed justification for those of us that do not know him? This is necessary since the bulk of donations were pledged under the assumption that it would go to ray.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Indirect:
Everyone who wants to donate, send the cash to:

rzmnwls@yahoo.com (it's my paypal account) and I'll order for Adam Outler's nook tablet.

---------- Post added at 10:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:50 PM ----------

He's the guy who did the unbrickable hardware mod to the Samsung Captivate
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] B00M!:
He also poasted this:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20091667&postcount=28

I'm cool with it, but just want to make sure other people are on board.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] gordon1hd1:
Hi Indirect, can you get hold of Loglud and have you guys agree on this thread on who get the donation money. I think both of you are well respected within the forum and who ever handle it will generate confidence with the people that is donating, but i want everyone to agree so that we don't have a logistical nightmare with both of you only getting half the money and have to keep sending monies back and forth via paypal.

Also about who the device should go to. I am less certain about this. Both of them seem like great developers and would be an awesome addition to the NT development team, however we kinda already promised Rayman84 about getting him the device if we can get the money together. Maybe we should reach out to him first to let me know about the situation before we move forward, because i don't want people's feeling getting hurt.

Also i am concern that Loglud mention that he will be sending the device out tonight, so if he already purchase and mail the NT to Europe, then i think it would be unfair to not reimburse Loglud for the money he already spend.

------------------------

So in conclusion, what i am saying is:

1) We need both Indirect and Loglud to come to this thread to agree on who should be getting the donation money to go make the purchase.

2) We need to have both Indirect and Loglud and the rest of the people who agree to donate, to agree on who should get the device (Rayman84 or adamoutler)

3) If we decide to send the device to adamoutler, we should let Rayman84 know our decision, as a gesture of respect and courtesy.

So my suggestion for everyone is to not send the donation money right now, until we get the above 3 items sorted out.

------------------------

Update message from Indirect:

So alright everything is in place, please send the money via PayPal to Indirect (rzmnwls@yahoo.com), and he will take care of the rest.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Indirect:
Attention everyone:

you can donate to me but I finished accepting donations for adamoutlers tablet

so all funds will be going either towards me as a dev donation or loglud as another dev donation

so pick who you want to donate to if you want to donate at all but we have sent adamoutler a tablet.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] gordon1hd1:
wow that was fast. did you collect enough funding to cover the cost and the shipping?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Indirect:
Yep, and it was only a few people whom paid for it.

Albert W - suicideclown

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] gordon1hd1:
Since i promised to send you the money, i will send it anyway even though the donation campaign is closed, maybe just to keep it to buy some beer for the celebration when the bootloader is finally cracked, or if you guys need another donation device.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] kusje:
In that case, my offer to donate 20 dollars still stands if we are doing another collection for rayman.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Indirect:
RayMan doesn't have time to develop and he was just interested in getting us help. If he wants a nook tablet anyway, I'll pay for it out of pocket.

Gordon, mind updating OP saying that it was bought using the 5 people's money?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] gordon1hd1:
Done.

10 char
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Dassin4:
I sent in $10 apparently without noticing you guys collected enough! Use it for whatever seems worthy.

Anyway, if adamoutler figures out the unBrickable method for the Nook Tablet, does this mean that anyone who wants to flash a ROM will need to do a risky soldering process similar to what is outlined here?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1206216

Not saying I wouldn't do it, I just want to be clear so I can plan on buying some new soldering equipment :D
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Indirect:
Sorry Dassin but it's the only way we would have it for -now-. We will still work on other methods though. It's just easier for devs like me not worried to take the hardware modding plunge (I don't have any implied warranty anyway) to do the mod and try to find a way around it in a free enviroment.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] thatdude90210:
Just sent my pledge amount anyway, for NT dev team.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] insanemongol:
things are getting better and better, hope adamoutler will succeed
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] B00M!:
Donated tp the cause (I was going to send Indirect a donation for the root script anyway).

So does this allow us to move forward with development while waiting for a software solution? Please, explain to the noobs.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Indirect:
It allows developers like me to work in a more open environment instead of being locked down. Now we can also extract the bootloader and see if B&N left any "hidden" mistakes from us. :) so it should help us.

And everyone who is brave enough will have a booting CM7 with all the developers. :3
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] autonomous-inc:
I've used Betterbatterystats, and the only thing I can tell is that com.google.maps is keeping my phone awake. Using CPUSpy, I was able to see that my phone has NEVER been into Deep Sleep since the installation of a ROM (I'm using UnNamed).

I'd direct this at Entropy since he's the guru on these parts of XDA, but anyone with knowledge about this would be greatly appreciated. What can I do to get my phone into Deep Sleep (because I cut through battery almost TOO fast)?

Also, I'm using Entropy's 12/1 kernel, but obviously that's not the culprit considering I've had earlier kernels on this flash of UnNamed 1.3.1.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
What makes you think it's not hitting deep sleep?

This says to me it's doing a fairly decent job of hitting deepsleep:

Awake (): 2 h 24 m 5 s (8645 s) Ratio: 30.1%
Screen On (): 2 h 16 m 15 s (8175 s) Ratio: 28.4%

It was only awake for 8 minutes with the screen off.

It looks like you have your phone set to keep the screen "always on when charging"? - your vbus_present is almost the same time as your screen_on.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] autonomous-inc:
How do I change that? My phone has screwed up and has the MTP Initialization on CONSTANTLY. I can't turn it off, and it happened after I accidentally hit "Download" then "Cancel," then "Shut Down."

My phone entered Download mode after that and I had to pull the battery out to turn it off, and after that the MTP Initialization came on EVERY single time after that whenever I turned my phone on. I'd like to figure out how to fix that and maybe fix my phone for good.

On a side note, whenever I killed MTP Initialization, my phone DOES enter deep sleep. I just found that out with a little messing around.

Thanks Entropy for all your help. I'm gonna donate next paycheck I get, because, well, frankly you're one of the most helpful developers out there (only other two people I donated to was Chainfire and NRG who made the Energy ROM for my TP2).

[General Questions and Answers] misc86:
Hi you smart smexy ppl of XDA

So designing a mobile game in HTML5 allows for easy portability to iOS, Android, and WindowsPhone 7.

But if I am designing an action game, does that mean that the game will lag more if designed in HTML 5 compared to (say if I am starting with windows phone 7) , XNA (WP7) or xcode (iOS)?

Thanks in advance!
[General Questions and Answers] Xaron74:
I think so. At the moment I wouldn't go that way, I don't know how good HTML5 works actually in the devices.

If you want to develop for all 3 platforms easily I can recommend Monkey (just google for "monkeycoder" and use the co.nz link) to you. It's some kind of cross compiler where you can deploy to:

HTML5, Flash, Android, iPhone/iPad, Windows Phone 7 / XBox, Windows (exe) and Mac.
[Galaxy S II General] RaneZ:
I dont want to flame, but i have some deal to switch my Desire HD for S2.

is it really that worth ? I mean, i am amazed with Hd (custom rom ofc) and battery life (around 2-2.5 days) and i read about S2 having bigger issues with battery (around maybe 1d) :/

HTC Sense is also a big plus for me tho :P

should i get S2 ?
[Galaxy S II General] Darclite:
It sounds like you have already made up your mind. If you have to ask if its good or worth it, you dont want it.
[Galaxy S II General] RaneZ:
Maybe you are right !

But i just wanted to hear something like "You can tweak your phone, so battery will last longer. use xxx rom..." (same thing what i did with HD)...
[Galaxy S II General] gr4ndm4st3r_bl4ck:
As someone on this forum said , the S2 is only a software update away from being the most powerful smartphone around ( not taking the 4.65" screen on Nexus into account ). Adreno205 and 1GHz Snapdragon on Desire HD just can't compare to SGS2. And about the battery, one day is enough really , who uses their phone for 24 straight hours... Jack Bauer maybe -.-

That, you can do, of course.
[Galaxy S II General] Scared27:
My dad has a Desire HD and it's slow as ****. I would never consider or recommend anyone getting a DesireHD over a Galaxy S 2.
[Galaxy S II General] RaneZ:
Hvala ! :)
[Galaxy S II General] King Shady:
Are you kidding me? I had a desire HD also it had a 1230 mah battery and lasted 8 hours max for me. My galaxy s II easily lasts 2 days if I want it to (with about 5 hours screen on time). Try CheckRom or Androidmeda if you do get the Galaxy S II. But if you have enough money, you should get the Nexus. Its the best phone out right now
[Galaxy S II General] Darclite:
My reply might have been a bit terse so apologies for that :) bad work day haha!

Its a very, very good phone, hopefully good enough to grab the phone of the year award. If youre up to a bit of tinkering you can make an amazing phone into one so awesome it could slap the baby jesus and walk away unscathed.

Its a definite jump from the DHD but as with all tech, increase the power and screen real-estate without a jump in battery technology and you do get worse battery life. With the frankenstein ki3 rom and speedmod12 kernel I get around a day and a half to two out of it with low to medium use. :)

Hope this has helped!
[Galaxy S II General] RaneZ:
Thank you all..ill get it :)
[Galaxy S II General] marcyspark:
I bought an s2 two days ago. Moved from a desire HD.

I was getting about 30 hours using rcmic runny rom. I was happy with it but fancied a change.

I have rooted and unlocked the s2. I have tried CM7 and MIUI roms but have come back to a Samsing KK5 rom with a few minor tweaks.

I have siyah 2.3 kernal overclocked to 1.4 ghz.

Battery life is about the same ss the desire HD but i have noticed that the samsung takes twice as long to recharge.

One thing i do need to say. This is a very very fast device.

I loved my desire HD but the s2 is a better device all round.
[Galaxy S II General] zekurosu:
if you've already bought it then perhaps u can try CheckROM Revo HD 4.0 with the latest speedmod kernel

for me its the best combination if u want better battery performance ;)
[Galaxy S II General] ziggyboy:
Not sure where you're getting your info from but the Desire HD's got worse battery life than the Galaxy S2.

I was one of the DHD early adopters back in late 2010 and yes, as someone else mentioned here, it's slow as **** compared to the SGS2. I don't know why anyone would prefer the DHD over the SGS2. My phone lasts me 2-2.5 days just with a rooted stock 2.3.5/2.3.6 ROM. I only use SetCPU and App Quarantine to freeze apps.

I am so glad to have sold my DHD!!!
[Galaxy S II General] blunted09:
i have had the desire hd and its not in the same league on any front. better everything honestly. Dont be worried about the battery. custom rom and kernel and it will easily last you the FULL day on heavy use.

Neboj se, ove je najbolji phone sto mozes kupit :)
[Galaxy S II General] XDA mark:
You can get the official 2000mAh extended battery from Samsung like me, and battery life will be even better. With this battery I have not once gotten mad about my phone switching off during the day, somehow my battery life has increased with 50%.

Anyway, Desire HD to Galaxy S II is a good move. First of all, the screen are just as big, but the Desire HD screen looks ugly and washed out compared to the beautiful sAMOLED+ display on the S II.

Second you upgrade from an old Snapdragon processor to Dual core exynos, which is seriously must faster.

I also believe the camera is better on the S II.

I would to it no doubt
[Galaxy S II General] Idan73:
Regarding battery! Basically he is comparing his personal use on dhd with reports of power users on sgs2. In short if your dhd lasted you with your usage pattern 2-2.5 days you're sure to be within 3-5 range on sgs2 provided you continue to use it the same way.

[Galaxy S II General] RaneZ:
Thank you all..

Btw, i am mid user.. 10-15 calls, 1h wifi/day...when i first got DHD, my batt after few weeks lasted less then a day..like 15-16h... Then i rooted and falshed few rooms, stayed on Virtuos. Now i have 2-2.5 days mid usage...1-3mAh (Batt Monitor Widget).

Nvm, ill get it :)
[Galaxy S II General] rauschkugl:
Well i had an hd2 and came from 1-3 mAh to 30-60 mAh on the s2 with the same apps installed. On the hd2 there was even more syncing enabled and wifi and gps always on. But everything else is better on the s2.

Sent from my GT-I9100
[Galaxy S II General] skimminstones:
i use both at the moment. GS2 is faster with much nicer screen, youll probably miss sense until you get used to touchwiz or run a different launcher, (launcher pro has virtually the same widgets), but overall the GS2 is definitely worth it.

Dont expect the same battery life though, no matter what rom you put on the GS2 but as long as you get through the day and stick it on charge its no problem is it.
[Galaxy S II General] Skellyyy:
I've unplugged 2 and a half hours ago, its already on 48% lol. Don't flash a miui ROM. :p
[Galaxy S II General] qwerty warrior:

and buy the samsung 2000 mah battery
[Galaxy S II General] bluefa1con:
in my experience cynogen mod 7.1 had the best battery life

but i am too used to touch wiz so i came back
[Galaxy S II General] TheiPhoneKiller:
I came from a Desire HD and HD2 back in August.Galaxy S2 is phenomenal but I only really miss my HD2 because of the sheer amount of hack ability but when it comes to the hardware and speed,theres no contest,S2 is like a rocket

R.I.P HTC HD2
[Galaxy S II General] gr4ndm4st3r_bl4ck:
Your battery on Desire HD recharges faster because its lower capacity ( 1270 mAh compared to Galaxy S2's 1650 mAh ) , plus batteries deteriorate with time, capacity gets lower, therefore they get recharged faster.

[Kindle Fire General] Groundhack:
It would probably be best that you didn't label posts such as this [Kernel][Port]. This thread is labeled as if you ported a kernel and are releasing it. It just comes off a little misleading. I would suggest labeling it [Suggestion] or [Request].
[Kindle Fire General] Stevethegreat:
Would that give a smoother experience? The OMAP 4 chip is of the fastest in the market right now yet Fire is a bit sluggish despite the immense power it "hides" underneath its lid.

The Galaxy Nexus seems to be one generation faster yet their hardware is almost identical, whould this (Google's) kernel give the Speed (that Amazon "stole" from us) back?
[Kindle Fire General] SikYou:
Downloaded, works great!

Oh wait, this isn't actually a kernel thread and there isn't any development information here.

Please change the title and move to general. Major WASTE of time!
[Kindle Fire General] randallu:
It's interesting as soon as it boots.

Hopefully the Amazon kernel isn't very different to any of the SDP-supporting kernels. I guess there's one way to find out... (as well as other, less interesting and safer, ways...)
