hi,

I have a Dell XCD 35, it is Gen2 with 512 MB ram..

I am quite happy with the phone, for I hardly do anything beyond making calls and navigation. However, I am stuck at sharing this phone with my laptop internet connection as

1. My laptop runs a Vista Home..

2. Dell XCD35/ ZTE BLADE wont detect Ad Hoc connections.

3. Tried reading various forums and have now realised that either I have to upgrade my vista to Windows 7, else get a stand alone Wi Fi router, or I have to root the phone and do some wpa supplicant... change.

4. I have absolutely no clue/ experience about rooting a phone or writing/ editing command lines..

Is there any application available in the market, that shall enable my XCD35 to share vista Laptop internet connection?

If not, are there any other ways, you can connect XCD35 to a Vista Laptop.. using Bluetooth or USB cable?

Thanks in advance

Not sure where I should post this, and wish I had the ability to code so I wouldn't have to hope/ask for changes and I would know what was possible or not.

Just wondering if its possible to port the ICS recent apps functionality when long pressing home and/or status bar interaction on the lock screen on a 2.3.7 build.. not sure if it hasn't been done because it's not possible or..?

Cheers :)

There's a custom launcher for Gingerbread, I believe it's called 'ICS Launcher'.

This will include that functionality, but also will make your homescreen look a bit like ICS, try it, it's pretty decent :)

ICS on Nook is butter smooth!

Compliments and many thanks to Dalingrin, Fat__Tire and any other members of the team.

Even this alpha version of ICS is running like a dream on my Nook. :D

I am running it of an SD card. I had a small problem with the market downloading at only 1kb/s. Turned out that changing the SD card for another cured this and improved overall responsiveness.

Looking forward to the next version!
[Nook Color General] dr_tracker:
Great, I didn't want to contaminate the official thread, so will report a couple bugs I found.

When running dolphin browser HD, it gets in some sort of memory leak and slows down the device, so I need to reboot the NC to solve it.

thanks guys for all your hard work.

[Nook Color General] mrv777:
Looks great. Great work devs! Can't wait to try this on my Nook color. Going to wait until the first Beta though (Everything works on CM7 so no real need to upgrade, just want ICS to have ICS :D )

Wanted to say thanks to the devs for all the hard work and that it is appreciated.
[Nook Color General] gamer.pro.2000:
This is looking pretty good :) . Might have to build it and install it on my nook to test it out.
[Nook Color General] zombieflanders:
The lack of sound and most video playback means that this isn't really a daily driver, but it is a very nice version for those looking for media-light (e.g., browser, e-reader, productivity app) functionality. If you're just curious about how ICS runs and what it feels like, and you have the time and resources, I heartily suggest trying it out. You don't even have to blow away your stock install to do it, since you can use verygreen's CM7 uSD install method. From start to finish--including download time for the ROM and GApps, formatting a spare uSD, the verygreen install, the ICS install and first run, and the GApps install--it took maybe 40 minutes and I had everything up and running. It's been as stable or even moreso than the HC build (thanks to having full code rather than SDK), and it looks like the overclocking from dalingrin's Nook Tweaks app helps with some speed issues. I only have a couple other apps installed for right now, and the only real problem I have is that Kindle seems to think that it's installed on a phone, and therefore I only get one or two paragraphs of text on the smallest font. Presumably this is related to a screen density setting, but web and OS text (mmmm...Roboto) is just fine.

Anyway, just my $0.02, from someone who's enjoying messing around with it in anticipation for a Galaxy Nexus.

[Nook Color General] FloydF:
I have that problem with CM7.1 and similar problem with the stock rom. PArt of the problem with these things is you don't have to turn them off. Eventually there are performance issues that creep up and you have to reboot to fix.

At my last job doing IT support for 45 people, the number of people that just logged off their computers drove me nuts. After a while they had to be shut down, I reccomended on the weekends. I recently discovered that sometimes not only do you have to shut computers down, but some errors will continue untill you shut down and unplug the computer. Wake on lan and USB means something has to be waiting for something to happen. I do wonder if this also happens with some of the "Bricked" nooks where the error won't go away until you let the battery die then plug it back in.

Check out http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12240928&postcount=1.

Download generic-sdcard-v1.3.img.gz

Ungzip it, then write it to an SD card (using dd or WinImage)

Download and copy the image from http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=19868762&postcount=2 onto "boot" partition.

Be sure to add the prefix "update-cm-" to the name (i.e. "update-cm-9.0-0-encore-emmc-sneakpeek1-fullofbugs.zip")

Turn off NookColor, Insert SD and bootup. Once it completes, it will turn-off

Turn NookColor back on and wait for the initial boot to complete (this will take a few min / you'll see the shiny animation)

And you're all done :-)

Now, if you want the gapps (of course :-) ...

Completely turn off/ power-down NookColor, remove SD card.

Download http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20141071&postcount=264 or the "gapps-small" and copy the ZIP to "boot" on the SD card.

Be sure to add the prefix "gapps-gb-" to the name (i.e. "gapps-gb-ics-4.0.1-small.zip")

Insert SD into (powered-off) NookColor

Enter VeryGreen-SD-Recovery (Hold the N button, Press+Hold the POWER button until the logo appears. Let go op power, then press and hold it again until "Booting into Recovery" appears.) -- Sounds complex, but it's pretty easy.

Once it completes, it will turn off, turn it back on and you're all done :-)

iv been running this alpha since it was posted i got everything working very stable and all, but i have had a problem with the stock browser.

i like the stock browser better than dolphin at this point but after using it for a while it will freeze up and get stuck i cant do anything, iv cleared the cache and all that. it seems to be fine after that but it keeps freezing after use. the lack of sound is just a minor inconvenience for me no big deal i love the tablet software GB just didnt make the nook complete compared to this alpha
[Nook Color General] bmaa:
Thank you fr the details. I got it to work once and only once. But gapps had the NFC. Updated GAPPS. but could not get it to flash. Not sure what I am doing wrong. it looks like it is falshing but no apps. I tried many times even re-formatted SD and tried the steps again. One thing I noticed is SD-recovery, my screen blink the first time and it doesn't show "Loading" until second push of Power, then it shows "boot into recovery". Even once I ended up with a full BOOT screen. Never seen before. Any recommendations?
[Nook Color General] zombieflanders:
Try starting over, and use the modified GApps from this post.
[Nook Color General] bmaa:
Perfect it worked!!. FYI, I found the best to get into recovery, and I am not patient to keep an eye pn power button, is to hold "N", press Power until screen blink, let go of Power, keep holding the "N". Then you have a menu to choose boot into SD and choose Revovery. Thank you. BTW, this thing is pretty smooth for an alpha. I have ICS on my Nexus S as well. Love ICS.
[Nook Color General] GlowingPurple:
I just got ICS running on my Nook yesterday. I primarily use the tablet as a traveling portfolio of my photography work (using the JustPictures app).

I followed the directions here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1030227, first installing CM7 and gingerbread. It's not a necessary pre-step, but I wanted to do a walkthrough first on something tried and tested.

Then, I followed the same workflow, but used the CM9 from this post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=19868762&postcount=2 and the gapps mentioned in this post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20141071&postcount=264

It worked like a charm. I'm really happy with the results. I was running honeycomb (pre-release 4) earlier, which kept crashing and whatnot all the time. For a first "alpha" release, this is really smooth and well put together.

Thanks again to all those that worked on putting this together.

In other news, I'm trying to get Android/ICS to build from source, but I'm running into a few troubles with the configuration. Only 9 more posts and then I can get my questions onto the developer boards ;).

Re-Building...

I just finished a re-build, took about 45min in my 1G Xubuntu command-line-only VM, using ccache. Installed over my old build on a 2GB Sandisk SD card, rebooted with no loss of installed market apps, but my shortcuts all disappeared.

So far, nothing adverse to report except a delay from screen touch to app response, not consistent.

ICS is a much better interface for the NC, widgets are just large enough to be selectable, but not too large for the 7" screen. I've installed Dolphin HD, K-9 Mail, The Weather Channel, and WiFi Analyzer; all work well with no FCs to date (knock on wood).

Now, I'll start poking around the code....

[Nook Color General] insz:
ZenoGai has made a few posts about his touchscreen not working, both here and in the dev forum, and most people have suggested that he may have done a bad flash or not updated using the proper procedure. I don't think this is the case though, as I have the same issue and so does serine. All three of us also happen to have newish NCs.

I've been keeping up with CM7 nightlies for quite some time and I'm confident that I'm following the correct procedure. I'm wondering if perhaps something has changed with the touchscreen controller in recent NCs that may be causing an issue for us.

Here is (what I believe to be) the relevant section of dmesg output from my NC running CM7. Can someone post theirs to compare against (either from CM7 or ICS - ideally from both)? Or if you think that I'm looking in the wrong direction, please let me know.

[Nook Color General] :
+1 to the list of those with touchscreens not working with ICS.

My old nook runs sneakpeek2 great on SD, so I decided to get a refurb nook for my uncle who's been wanting a tablet for email and reading. Just received it today, and while it boots ICS fine, the touchscreen is completely nonresponsive. I guess for the time being I'll just put CM7 on it (is the touchscreen fine in CM7?, I haven't checked to make sure, haven't followed CM7 threads for awhile).
[Nook Color General] insz:
As a test, I used an old Phiremod and HC dualboot SD card (ph-hc-dualboot-sd-v0.2.img), booted into phiremod, and had the same issue with the touchscreen not working. Going into ADB, I can see that it uses a much older Cypress driver.

Here's the dmesg:

<6>cyttsp_init:Cypress TrueTouch(R) Standard Product
<6>cyttsp_init:I2C Touchscreen Driver (Built Apr 13 2011 @ 12:37:15)
<6>cyttsp_probe:Reseting TMA340
<6>cyttsp_probe:Start Probe 1.2
<4>No TMA340 found; exiting probe.
<1>cyttsp_probe:probe failed: -19
<6>kxtf9 1-000f: WHO_AM_I = 0x01
<6>input: kxtf9_accel as /devices/virtual/input/input2

The driver is never loaded - it should be set as input2 (1 being the buttons, I think), but instead, the accelerometer becomes input 2 and there's no more mention of the Cypress driver anywhere.
[Nook Color General] fattire:
Interesting.

It looks like maybe some of the nook colors are now using the touchscreens/digitizers that the nook tablet uses....

The Nook Colors have used the cyttsp.c Cypress drivers up until now. That's this:

<6>cyttsp_init:I2C Touchscreen Driver (Built Apr 13 2011 @ 12:37:15)
<6>cyttsp_probe:Reseting TMA340
<6>cyttsp_probe:Start Probe 1.2

The Nook Tablets, since I was just looking at the kernel for them yesterday, use a different driver, the ft5x06-i2c.c one.

And yet here's what was working in the cm7 build:

<4>cyttsp:probe failed: -19
<6>ft5x06_init() - FT I2C Touchscreen Driver (Built Dec 6 2011 @ 13:47:20)
<6>ft5x06-i2c 2-0038: ft5x06_probe() - FT5x06 found on I2C bus.

So it was like "nope, no cyttsp here!" but then the driver for the newer touchthing, ft5x06, is loaded. Both are enabled in the newer kernel for NC.

So I'm wondering if they've now started installing the newer touchscreen on both models? If so, that means the 2nd touchscreen driver at drivers/input/touchscreen/ft5x06-i2c.c will also need to be ics-enabled, as the first one was.

Can someone who is having issues try this uImage w/ics? It needs to go in /boot (p1). Use clockworkmod to put it in.

I probably screwed it up bigtime as I have no way of testing anything. Touches may not liftoff or may not appear at all. It may be chaos. I apologize in advance for the havoc this may create. So it may take a few tries. But anyway... give it a shot and let me know what's up.
[Nook Color General] insz:
Thanks for looking into this fattire.

I've downloaded your new uImage, booted into CWM, mounted /boot, and using ADB renamed the old uImage, and then pushed this one.

Unfortunately, still no response from the touchscreen. I do think you're on the right path and I'm happy to test and retest anything to get this going.

Also, is ADB supposed to be working with ICS on the NC now? I can't get it to going, but I imagine it would be helpful. Or perhaps it is working, but needs to be enabled through settings, which we can't get to...
[Nook Color General] fattire:
Yes ADB should be working "out of the box" by default. If adb isn't working this is an other issue to look into. If it IS working, can you post the relevant portions of dmesg as others have done? I want to make sure it's the right driver we're talking about here.
[Nook Color General] 3rdman:
I can't yet post in the development thread so I just wanted to pop in here to say THANK YOU! I had put all my hopes into ICS after HC went nowhere and here it is! Installed it this morning and everything seems to work great (except for video, of course).

I'm just really grateful to you fattire and the rest of the devs who put this together...THANKS AGAIN and I look forward to your next major update.
[Nook Color General] tdm:
Indeed, many thanks to all the NC devs. You're the reason I own a NC.

I'm chomping at the bit to install ICS on my NC, but since it's a "family" device, I want to make sure it's relatively stable first. Looks like that's going to happen pretty soon. A question toward that end -- do the current ICS builds install on emmc or are they external, or both? I currently have CM7.1 on emmc. I'll test ICS via external boot first, of course, but I'd love to upgrade my emmc once it's working well enough to use daily.
[Nook Color General] slider2828:
What program did you use to resize the boot partition?
[Nook Color General] insz:
Turns out that the device ids have also changed on my NC, which is why ADB wasn't working for me. I had to add new entries into android_winusb.inf with USB\VID_18D1&PID_D002 instead of USB\VID_2080&PID_0002.

I would say the recommended program is Easeus Partition Manager Home Edition, it's free and relatively easy to use. My version is 9.1.0 and I believe it's the most current. I would resize the partition to between 150-200mb to allow for both the rom and gapps file.
