Yeah, I'm a better helper than a developer but I've been brickin' and unbrickin' my phone for endless months :-P. So that's where I've gotten most of my knowledge and experience. I always try the newest, most unstable thing and usually it kills my phone. Lol I think of the countless times that I have escaped falier and a broken phone. I enjoy testing new roms because it does help out a lot of people... I have spent countless hours trying out roms and most don't work.... but it for some reason is still fun!

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Evan702:
When I got my Evo View I wanted to personally verify if mine had Carrier IQ and sure enough, it does. Now after the big Carrier IQ brouhaha Sprint has said that they will stop using the software and HTC has stated that they will begin working on updates to remove it from their devices: http://www.androidcentral.com/htc-63-million-devices-carrier-iq-including-some-shouldnt-have-it

I have to figure that whatever Honeycomb update that they may or may not have had planned to roll out for the View included Carrier IQ before the controversy hit. Now I'm wondering if it's likely that the Honeycomb update will be delayed as HTC has to rewrite it free of Carrier IQ as well as providing updates to remove it from their other devices. I'd have to believe that the View would be pretty low on the priority list. Does this seem likely or am I just being unnecessarily pessimistic?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] abhaxus:
Considering a leak appeared from Samsung for the Epic Touch that was missing CIQ entirely (EL13) before the news leaked that Sprint had told vendors to remove it, I'm guessing it doesn't take a lot to remove it. Could be different with sense, but since k0nane has released easy remove tools for almost every samsung device I don't think it would be hard for HTC to do the job themselves.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Sabbathia:
Honeycomb 3.2 for the View will be rolling out on the 22nd. Sucks that I just sold mine too.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Evan702:
I certainly hope so. Not long after the Flyer got HC over in Europe there were rumors that the View would be getting it towards the end of December so the timing lines up. Not to be a Doubting Thomas or anything, but may I ask what your source is?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] WMLover212:
Sabbathia-

You said that Honeycomb will be rolling out for the View on the 22nd (tomorrow)? I am curious to hear where did you get that information? I have been waiting forever for it! Super excited if this is true

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anantn:
As the name implies, would like to know if the banding issue has been addressed in the OMAP4430 variant of the SGS2.

Since the entire circuitry has essentially been replaced, i would assume so.

Thinking of swapping my i9100 for an i9100g, since i heard it has better acoustics, less heating issues, longer battery life and pretty much the same real time performance ( i couldnt care less about synthetic benchmarks).

So as long as the interface remains lag-free just like the original, and banding issue fixed, im getting the i9100g.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Astri:
Maybe you considering this as an issue (like myself) but for Google is not.

I can't answer your question because i dont have i9100g but im afraid it has no difference. I was hoping ICS will correct the whole situation but as far as i see from the videos has been posted around, is the same sh1t. We have to live with less than 24bit :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Exidrion:
What you heard was probably placebo. Longer battery life? Really? Also don't why you would switch to a phone with such a limited development community.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ambar_hitman:
I have it and it has no color banding, at all. But DO NOT swap your I9100 for a G, as it has way more community support than the G version.

It has longer battery and less heating, thanks to processor being capped at 1008 Mhz.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeymagnus1:
Hello. I've searched and googled and still can not find an answer. So I ask. Can you boot both CM7 and stock BN software without taking out the sd card? We bought our two oldest (11 and 10 yrs old) NCs for christmas and we don't really want them removing the cards just to use the stock NC. We don't want them to lose the cards. They both read a lot. But we want them to have the full android experience. I already have the latest build of CM7 on two 8gig class 2 Sandisks.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] votinh:
I am not an expert and haven't played with dual-boot option but AFAIK, by default, it will boot into the uSD FIRST. If you want it to boot in eMMC, you can (or must) press and hold the "N" button during the power up, then select boot Normal.

So, i.e. if you have CM7 on usD and Stock in eMMC, by default, w/o interacting, CM7 will be booted.

If you want to boot the Stock, you have to press the N button then select it.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shumash:
To clarify this correct answer, when you see the screen flash when booting, hold down the "n" key. You'll see the CM banner and under it there will be something like "boot menu" display. You can quit pressing "n" at this point. It will then continue to a boot menu display (all the directions are on that page). Press the "n" key to select "emmc", then press the down volume key to select the next item ( it should be "normal" so just leave it there). Push the down volume key again, press "n" and it will boot into the stock ROM. The next time you boot, it will still boot to the SD card unless you repeat the process.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeymagnus1:
Thank you both for the quick reply. It was very helpful.

This is for the Nook Tablet 16Gig version only. Do not use with 8Gig version

Introduction

Making a magic SDCard which will take you back to stock 1.4.0 is easy!

This method will allow you to restore 1.4.0 firmware onto your Nook Tablet. Personally, I think holding the buttons and halting the device boot 8 times in a row is a bit time consuming. So, here is how you make a "Magic SDCard".

Instructions

Just follow these 4 easy steps to restore your device to 1.4.0.

Download this file: http://devftp.xda-developers.com/files/AdamOutler/NookTablet/acclaim_update.zip (Do not change the file name. Make sure it is named "acclaim_update.zip" without quotes).

Copy the file on a Micro SDCard.

Insert the Micro SDCard into your Nook Tablet

Turn on your Nook and observe a factory restoration.

Conclusion

This will initiate Recovery Mode and flash the entire zip. acclaim_update.zip will restore your device to stock firmware and wipe all user data. I will be working on other methods and I believe it is possible to force the device to boot it's entire firmware from Micro SDCard.

Troubleshooting

"N" Button is inoperative

solution:

Press and hold the Power and "N" Button until the device reboots.

Continue to hold the Power and "N" button until the device reboots 8 times. This will wipe data and restore the "N" button functionality

SDCard method does not work

solutions:

Ensure you have a Nook Tablet, not a Nook Color (funny as it sounds, this is a big problem)

redownload the acclaim_update.zip

Use the Nook settings menu to format the sdcard

Use a different SDCard

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] patruns:
At the risk of sounding clueless..... How will placing a .zip file on a non-bootable card help? What about the signed bootloader issue? Are we assuming the Nook Tablet is not broken to the point it will not boot on it's own?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] liquidzoo:
Part of the boot process checks the SD Card for this exact file (and checks the contents I assume). If it exists, it gets executed. Someone else has already confirmed this works, though we can't yet get it to work for any other firmware (ICS, etc).
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] xdahgary:
Nice. Use the old 1.4.0 factory image to restore. Brilliant.

Now if only we can do that with custom roms.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rvr350:
Initial registration process with B&N

Does this .zip boots up just as if the NT came out of the box? if so, would the initial registration process with B&N push the 1.4.1 to us, or rather the NT pulls it from B&N?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] liquidzoo:
It will (I believe) reset it to an out-of-the-box condition. The registration process might pull the update automatically...if you set up wifi. Don't set it up (right away), and you won't have an issue. Go in, root, side-load what you need to block the update, and you should be good to go.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] AugustusBot:
according to BN's website, the update takes 5-10 min to download onto your device, and they instruct you NOT to power it off while this is occurring.

I would think you have a few minutes when it comes up to quickly find and install a few apps you may need for the 'fixing' process, (es file explorer, mount /system), then shut off the wifi.

Worst case scenario, you lose 5 minutes and are forced to restore again...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Cubanluke88:
Just to be clear, this doesn't require root right?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] AdamOutler:
No. Root is not required.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] mohawkx:
A few painfully obvious noob questions. I have a 16gb sd card installed in my tablet. I have sideloaded numerous apps and they show up on my go launcher. Can I use that sd card to install the download you recommend? I assume you mean download the link you provided to my computer and then side load it to my SD card from the usb port on my computer.

Do I need to port all my side loaded apps from the go launcher onto my computer prior to this installation as the factory reset will wipe out all my third party sideloads?

Sorry for the questions. I'm sure this is obvious to most if not all on here but I learned to use a keyboard with a Underwood manual typewriter in 1957 and I'm just now getting comfortable with windows XP.

What if you haven't received OTA yet?

I am really nervous. I bought my wife a NT for Xmas...i rooted it and loaded it with everything she'd like to have on it. Then, i turned it off, wrapped it, and placed under tree.

When she opens it Xmas morning, will it automatically load this 1.4.Bull****? Is there anything that can be done to prevent the update before it happens so that you don't lose hours of work?

Thanks,

Tommy
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Voyaging:
Okay, so i went in Titanium backup and froze the devicemanger and bn cloud service. That will enable me to NOT receive this update, correct?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Montisaquadeis:
If you installed the gapps with indirects root script you shouldnt have to worry about the update as it installs FOTAKill.apk as well which should kill ota updates like this.

Edit: Does this mean the tablet is unbrickable if you end up bricking it by messing with its software?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] pcgate:
Thanks so much for this file and the information.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] AdamOutler:
Not yet.. we need to prove it.. however, it will take all the root folder files in the update.zip uncompressed and named in a special way to do that.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] GetWorked:
I was having the same problem and found a way around it. I use Timely, however whenever I use "OK Google" it would use the default Clock application on my 6P instead of Timely. I fixed this by going to Settings > Apps > Clock. Then I tap the Disable button. Android ask if I wanted to revert to the default app, and I selected OK.

The next time I used "OK Google" to set an alarm, it asked me to set Timely as the default.

Hi all,

I tried searching around and googling and I have a pretty good idea of what kernals and ROMs are. I'm coming from a Droid X (locked bootloader) and just upgraded to a GN. I unlocked the bootloader, but as for everything else, this is all new to me. I'm looking for a solid guide(s)/sticky on ROMs/Kernals/Radios.

Questions seeking to be answered:

1) What are "radios?"

2) How is it that kernals from other phones can be used on completely different phones?

3) How do I save a nandroid on the GN? (I've only unlocked my bootloader)

4) Does the stock SBF from google contain everything I need to restore to stock (kernal, rom, radio, etc.)?

I want to make sure I cover all my bases before diving into all of this. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RMatt1992:
1) What are "radios?"

Radio firmware, or Radio's are the software that drive the cellular radio's (connects to cell service, data/voice/etc)

2) How is it that kernals from other phones can be used on completely different phones?

They can't. Without modification. Certain drivers and components need to be changed/added/removed for it to work. It's much easier to recompile the AOSP kernel from source (for the GN) and modify it from there as kernel developers have been doing.

3) How do I save a nandroid on the GN? (I've only unlocked my bootloader)

Install Clockwork Mod Recovery, boot into it, and click backup.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1357642 (GSM ONLY!!! Check the CDMA forum if you've got the LTE version)

4) Does the stock SBF from google contain everything I need to restore to stock (kernal, rom, radio, etc.)?

Not familiar with the term SBF, however yes. All files to return to stock are hosted by Google, and guides on how to do exactly that are present in the forums.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sebastianlow:
I just can't figure out why our desire z cannot run sense 3.5 smoothly.

Htc sensation XL: 1.5 Ghz, Adreno 205, 768mb RAM

My Desire Z: overclocked 1.5 Ghz, Adreno 205, 512mb RAM and 256mb swap

I'm thinking GPU issue here, the sensation xl can scroll rosie smoothly without needing ultra smooth patch.

Any way to improve gpu performance?

And even after activating swap, the phone doesn't really uses it to its full potential, it only uses up around 10% of the swap partition.

Any ideas to encourage the phone to maximize the use of the swap partition?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
There is a lot more to CPU performance than clock frequency. The CPU on the Sensation XL is dual core, and probably a completely different architecture. I fully expect a 1.5 GHz dual core CPU to run circles around the G2/DZ's CPU, regardless of how much you OC it.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xT4Z1N4TRx:
sensation XL is single core, same as DESIRE HD but higher clock
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Still, the G2/DZ is MSM7230, and the XL is MSM8255. Even if single core, its a newer generation and not the same chip. And even so, a overclocked CPU is never going to perform as well as one that is factory clocked to the same GHz.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sebastianlow:
It is the same generation of processors, the one on the desire z just have a lower clock speed. Even with overclocked 2ghz, I can't get as smooth as sensation xl
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enginmanap:
Actually, if the only difference between two CPUs is the frequency, the overclocked one should out perform the stock one since overclocking boosts data buses as well.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sebastianlow:
So, in theory, my desire z should be better at running sense 3.5 then htc sensation xl?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G1ForFun:
No because the Sensation XL has 768MB of RAM....Desire Z has 384MB (Advertised as 512MB but not all is seen by OS)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Wouldn't that be assuming the CPU on the Sensation XL can't be overclocked at all? Seems like a poor comparison. I'd still bank on the 1.5 GHz factory clocked CPU over an 800 MHz one.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xT4Z1N4TRx:
Sense 3.5 does run smooth for me. The only bad thing really is loading apps, and that's cuz of ram
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enginmanap:
I wasn't talking about the sensetion XL vs Desire Z. Their CPUs have architectural differences beyond the stock frequencies. Even if you overclock the desire Z to 1.5 GHZ, there are other factors like double channel for RAM etc.

Sensetion XL has a more powerful core with more advanced features. This is why clocking our phones to 1.5 is not giving the performance of Sensetion XL.
