[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] wwwdrich:
Has anyone found the VPN settings hidden anywhere on the Nook? I've been digging around through the various settings panes with the help of AnyCut, but haven't stumbled across anything for network settings that isn't in the stock Nook settings panes. I'll settle for either IPSec or PPTP, either would be better than nothing on open wifi nets.

It would also be nice to be able to be able to use Juniper's VPN for work, but Junos Pulse is coming up as "not compatible with your device" on the Android Market.

Any suggestions?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jdavisable:
I asked the same question a week or so ago and got no answer.

I havent been able to find any solution myself either.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] zmobie:
I saw that thread and it reminded me of VPN settings that I stumbled on while looking at files/inside settings files (not in menus) when I first got my NT, but then I couldn't find them again so didn't post. There is no native support/applications for setting up VPN on the NT at any rate, so you would have to find a separate program, but it looks like some basic android OS support might be there, just not the software or settings menus :/. Did either of you try 5 VPN or a similar app?

edit: Nope, not supported on the NT. All signs point to no until a custom rom or mod is available. I agree - it IS a big oversight and odd omission (and people complained about it on the NC, so they should have fixed it). It's definitely a software issue though, so eventually a feature that can be added.

[XPERIA X8 General] Dare-Devil Inside:
Ok, I just realized (again, and until the next time) :D that Froyo Pro is the best choice for me..

But I will miss custom kernel.. I tried Alfs once, and it was all right but WiFi was not working at all. Copying Wifi libs from GDX didn't help :(

Can someone re-make Alfs kernel to make it work on FroyoPro? (some ramdisk changes and wifi fix)

I would be grateful... and I'm sure many others..
[XPERIA X8 General] milenkokg:
+1
[XPERIA X8 General] Dilzxx:
+1............
[XPERIA X8 General] josip-k:
It could be done but kernel should be made from cm6 core.because all kernels for x8 are made from cm7(gingerbread) core.like alfs,gdx,fxp kernel,nAa...so it would be hard,because fxp gave sources only for cm7 kernel,and most of our kernels are based on fxp kernel source.
[XPERIA X8 General] Dare-Devil Inside:
nice. .... :D
[XPERIA X8 General] XperianPro:
Its preety easy.We just need to compile kernel from se source and everything should work even on eclair.

I will try and report.
[XPERIA X8 General] wielku:
oh god im waiting for Custom Kernel on Froyo sooooooooo much

and also if im on gingerbead and for example Alfs kernel when im by clockwork install custom zip with froyo i need to change kernel to stock right?
[XPERIA X8 General] Japos:
yeap, i love froyo pro and i also love alf's kernel, especially it's OC, i get by far the best results with it, fully stable 787 mhz with smartass v2 i just wish i could combine the 2.
[XPERIA X8 General] akaSk8krew:
yes yes yes +1 for a kernel for froyo:)
[XPERIA X8 General] RockitOut11:
if we compile those kernels with the same Ramdisk that we have in Stock kernel, probably it should work better in Eclair and Froyo roms, right?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nolanpro:
Here's my thing. I promised myself that if I Verizon didn't release the Galaxy Nexus today, I would stick with t-mobile. Here's how I plan to that. Hear me out, need feedback on this harebrained idea!

1. Buy unlocked galaxy nexus online for $800

2. Get tmobile value plan (bring your own device)

- 500 min

- 2gb

- Unlimited texts

= $50/month (base, not including tax and crap)

TOTAL: $800 + (50 x 24 months) = $2,000

Compare to Verizon - Galaxy Nexus: $200

- 450 min ($60)

- 2gb ($30)

- 1000 texts ($10)

= $100/mo

TOTAL: $200 + (100 x 24 months) = $2,600

Thats $600 Saved over 2 years! Whats the catch??? What am I missing in these calculations???
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] King Shady:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nolanpro:
I could use some constructive feedback on this forum. I watched the entire intro video. Please don't hate. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] okplaya:
1) The Galaxy Nexus can be had between $680-700.

2) T-Mobile plans are cheaper than Verizon. You pay more for Verizon and get a broader coverage area.

3) The VZW Galaxy Nexus is $299
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jayharper08:
Don't mislead readers into thinking they are going to read some exciting news. Not a good way to start off.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sstang2006:
here is the way I see it. What may work for me may not work for you and vice versa...

Verizon over T-mobile:

- it is not 2GB, it is 4GB for the holidays.

- LTE speeds.

- Better coverage ( at least in my area, I get constant drop calls at my home)

- Insurance in an expensive phone.

Like I said before, not everyone's case is the same.

Me personally, I will be joining my parents family plan and I will be paying less than what I'm paying in T-Mobile right now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericshmerick:
I am at a loss how anyone can deal with only 2 gigs of data.

Yes, wifi, etc, except the wifi radio on the GNEX is very weak. My iPhone will have full bars of wifi whereas the GNEX cannot even connect.

Godspeed with LTE too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hood_Station:
Go with Simple Mobile and get their unlimited plans... $60...no taxes or no hidden fees

No problem. People can get their hopes up and take it out on you, then I would have to do some more work, lol. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wwfc:
Really? I only have a 1gb fair use policy on Orange UK. Never go over 750mb tbh even with high usage. I have no idea how you're using over 2Gb, unless you're downloading alotta netflix. Also my GNex has a better Wifi coverage than my Sensation XL and my brothers iPhone 4s. As for the OP's question, if i were you i'd wait till the Verizon Gnex is released. As others have said, you get LTE/better coverage/more data etc
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nolanpro:
Yeah i'm pretty new to all this and with 4g I might have to bump that up. On 3g over the last few months I only used 1gb/month on my crumbling G1
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] [hfm]:
I'm around wifi so much I only use maybe 200-300MB of cell data per month.

Tmobile is cheaper

You'll be able to talk and surf

The resale will be higher

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] randyreed1971:
Anyone know how to convert cbz files so that they can be read using some type of reader on the nook tablet? I downloaded a couple of Dr Seuss ebooks but I dont think the tablet will recognize them unless I convert them? I am trying to set this tablet up for my daughter for Christmas!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] succulent:
It's just zip archive with different format name. You can use Perfect Viewer to open them.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] zaptoons:
The stock reader reads .cbz files. (cbz=comic book zip file. A cbr is a comic book .rar file. Conversion is as simple as changing the extension to rar or zip, uncompressing, then recomposing in the opposite format.)

You can sideload plenty of apps that will read .cbz files. (I like ComicRack Free).

You can also use the stock library/reader. To use it, put your files on your SD card, say in a folder called Books or Comics.

In the NT's stock library, click on My Stuff/My Shelves. Create a new shelf, name it. Click edit, and you should see a list of all files on your NT that can be added to a shelf. Find the .cbz file(s) and check it, then save.

Now you should have a shelf showing your .cbz files in the stock library. When you click to open, the files will either open in the stock reader, or if you've installed third party reader apps, should give you a choice- you can set a preferred app as default.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] randyreed1971:
Worked great!

Now, how do I narrate a book so that she can listen to me read the book when I am not around? I can do that right?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] randyreed1971:
Also, is there any way of this tablet playing ebooks that are already narrated???
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] liquidzoo:
There are several Dr Seuss books that are apps on the market (take your pick, they're on the stock, Amazon, and Google markets) that are like narrated e-books, though these are apk files, not epub files.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] zaptoons:
The entire sample book "The Elephant's Child" should be on your stock library shelf under Books. This type of ebook allows you to play back the story with prerecorded narration, or record your own. There should be many others for sale in the Nook Shop.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jimmysuggs:
I don't think you can narrate your own books. I think you can only do that with ones you purchase from B&N. They prefer you spend money on their products, even if you already own a perfectly good version of the exact same product.

But I could be wrong about this.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] zmobie:
This is a great program, and if you have a rooted NT (or sideload it) you should try it for picture books and comics.

I'm uncertain whether the Read & Play feature can be used on non-BN bought books, but I wouldn't be surprised if it couldn't. The books need to be formatted a certain way, afaik? You can try moving the book to your /data/books folder, where it will be seen by the NT's ebook library application and seeing if Read & Record works on it. In any case the BN Read & Record feature works well and is pretty cute, and it's a good reason to buy kid's books from their store for sure.

Pretty sure you can play books that are *already* narrated some other way (although I too have only seen them packaged as .apks/programs already ready to go).
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] kinshu321:
You can use this open source comic viewer - Jomic.

It has a convert function to convert CBZ files to PDF.

Hi there, I was wondering if anybody actually used the Google Wallet with their Galaxy Nexus and paid for anything. I've flashed it to my phone as instructed,and it works, I've got the google prepaid $10 card, but I tried to pay with it at McDonald's and it didn't work. I payed with my contactless Visa PayWave card in the end. So the whole thing was a bit of an embarrassment. Could anybody confirm that?

Hey everyone, this is the 2nd theme for you all to enjoy (hopefully). There's a few things I still haven't had the time to dedicate and figure out yet. I've also attached a zip of the icons I created for this theme. I tried themeing all the apks, but the constant updates kept reverting them back..so I said screw it, just use a launcher and change the icon out.

Also this is based on Joker's Skinny ROM (which is off the 198_7 build). You can flash this theme via bootstrap or CWM, and should wipe cache/dalvik prior to installing the zip. I DO NOT TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY IF YOU BRICK YOUR PHONE.

DOWNLOAD V1 HERE

DOWNLOAD V2 HERE

(wipe cache/dalvik and then flash this mod in CWM AFTER flashing V2)

TEXASREBEL - FINALLY - BLACKEDOUT SWYPE

Thanks to:

djdarkknight96

Dominic83

TexasRebel

THIS THREAD ROCKS: THEMED SWYPES

HOW-TO:

- Clear data from any version of swype (I used Ti-Backup to do this)

- Uninstall any version of swype you currently have (swype.apk, swype installer, and lib.swypecore.so (from system/lib)

- Reboot into recovery, wipe cache/dalvik cache

- Download any swype.apk from this dude's website

- Open it up in 7zip and remove the lib folder to your desktop

- Close the archive and rename it Swype.apk

- Open up the lib folder you saved to desktop and rename that file to: lib.swypecore.so

- Save the newly renamed Swype.apk and lib.swypecore.so to your sdcard

- Change the permissions to rw-r-r for each and move the Swype.apk to your system/app folder

- Move the lib.swypecore.so file to the system/lib folder

- Reboot

- ENJOY!!!

- FINALLY!!!
