[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] apeine:
Hello folks,

I switched minimal touch's adw for go launcher, and I also added go locker.

The good part about go locker is that it gives you a way to lock your STR with number code (iphone style) or a pattern (android style). I also tried different themes.

Besides the original theme, all others leave a ghost on the screen, and most words that are placed above the ghost show up thinner! Pattern locking does the same on the pattern ghost (this one was hard to guess, but my pattern was quite obvious, and had the same effect (thinner fonts).

Ok, standard theme and number locking was good, but go locker also increased battery usage. Left my nook with the screensaver on during weekend, at 50% on Friday, and by Monday morning, during my morning commute, the battery was already gone. Didn't even had the chance to turn it on to check.

Removed it and battery life is back to normal.

Had anyone had similar experience with go locker? Is there any other suitable locker for STR?

On my HD2 I could copy and paste an entire Hotmail or Exchange massage to the One Note or to wherever I wanted.

Is there a way I can do the same on my GNote?.To copy and paste an entire email for a future reference.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hagba:
Never mind although it is a step backwards but I am copying it to the clipboard and viewing with an application I have downloaded from the Market called Clipboard.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] vcespon:
You can select and copy text fron an e-mail like from any web page. Press and hold, move the box borders, select copy.

Then you can paste it on any app that accepts text (S-Note for example).

But the integrated e-mail app is not very good, no options to "select all" or "empty recycle bin". This makes it impossible to use for the people that receives dozens of e-mails each day. There are other e-mail clients on the market.

I'm using a "Lite" ROM, as this way I can replace most of the bundled programs with better alternatives from the market and not having duplicated programs.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hagba:
Thank you it worked.

Actualy I just installed the oficial Hotmail application from the market,called Microsoft+seven it seems to be good,supports both Push Mail, Contacts and Calender sync.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] creekspin:
Hello,

I am fairly new to linux and android. With some research i was able to root my phone. also installed a couple of root required apps to improve my phones overall performance. all worked great but for one stupid mistake. I uninstalled my factory UI "motoswitch" Now if i do "factory reset" my phone reboots with no ui of fn mapped to the home button. As a workaround i configured gmail, clicked on a link in an email and somehow got to install launcher pro on my phone. So for now its working. But if i ever have to do another factory reset, I will be screwed again. Is there a way i can get my Motoswitchui back?

Thanks in advance

[Sony Tablet S] SWFlyerUK:
Has anyone noticed their homescreen has gone laggy when moving from screen to screen?

I like the default launcher, so I'm in no position to change it, but it's developed alot of lag since I first bought it exactly a week ago today.

Only plays up on the default launcher.
[Sony Tablet S] alizawi:
had mine over a month, and I find it to be the fastest android tablet in terms of switching screens...very smooth experience over here so far.
[Sony Tablet S] SWFlyerUK:
Thanks for the response - I wonder if a data reset would do the trick.
[Sony Tablet S] nismo929:
agreed that it is one of smoothest tablets on the market. I sometimes experience lag if I have a live wallpaper active. perhaps getting a task killer with a widget on the home screen could help quickly kill anything running in the background that could be the culprit of the lag.
[Sony Tablet S] SWFlyerUK:
Everything is running smoothly except the home screen and I don't really want to have to do a reset.... hmm
[Sony Tablet S] birkenhair:
Have you loaded up your screens with tons of shortcuts? If I remember correctly it made my homescreen animations jerky but I then switched to Launcher Ex.
[Sony Tablet S] SWFlyerUK:
theres nothing on my homescreens lol
[Sony Tablet S] zetsurin:
I agree with the OP, the launcher's performance is sub-par. I don't have any live wallpapers, or hardly any icons, no widgets, and I can see it's not perfectly smooth. I installed ADW Launcher which is clearly significantly faster and what I would consider perfectly smooth and fluid. Anyone that thinks their launcher isn't choppy probably just needs to compare against a trial install of ADW.
[Sony Tablet S] SWFlyerUK:
I like the look of the default launcher though lol
[Sony Tablet S] alizawi:
I find this very strange that people are experiencing this lag. I am using the default launcher, a few incons on main screen, and at least one widget on every other screen, some 2 or 3 widgets, and still super smooth... way better than samsung tablets, asus, motorola, etc....
[Sony Tablet S] SWFlyerUK:
Should I do a reset in the short term?
[Nook Touch General] happynobita:
I use my Nook Touch for reading only. I do not need it to access the internet or download apps. From my understanding, these are the main reasons to root one's Nook.

What I am interested in is gaining access to that 1.5 GB or so of internal memory. As the majority of my books are side loaded, it makes much more sense to have 1.5 GB available to me and only 240 MB for B&N downloadable content.

My first question is, if I am going to try to re-size some partitions and I have no interest in apps, which rooter is the simplest for v1.1? SalsichaNooter or TouchNooter?

And finally, I have searched the forum and there are a couple of threads about re-sizing partitions, but they all involve linux terminal work. I think I might be able to figure it out, but could a linux disk partition program (like gparted) be used instead?
[Nook Touch General] happynobita:
Ok, I found a thread posted by ros87 here that details how to go about resizing the partitions. It was very helpful, however, after rebooting back into my Nook, I am no longer able to connect to the internet.

I am not sure if either the sdb6, sdb7, or sdb8 partitions have any connection to wireless internet, but I noticed during the step of:

I got some socket warnings relating to a wireless file. ros87 says to ignore the socket warnings, which I did. Then at this step:

I got a whole bunch of errors about unable to write files. But when I checked the drive, it seemed that all the folders copied over okay, so I continued on through the steps.

I probably should have copied the error output, but after discovering that wireless isn't working (it says "Unable to Connect"), I'm thinking maybe something didn't copy over correctly.

Should I try deleting and copying over the tmpdata.tar again?
[Nook Touch General] ros87:
Go trough dmesg and logcat (in adb shell) to see if you can find any troubles about your wifi connectivity, then post it here, but not the complete logs please!

As for my posted setup, I ran it for several weeks, with wifi enabled, without any troubles at all.

The socket errors is not the problem. A socket cannot be copied, and it is recreated whenever the socket service is started.

-R
[Nook Touch General] happynobita:
Can I use adb if my Nook isn't rooted? As in, would I be fine just using noogie? I won't be able to try this until I get home.

Edit: Found this. I'm not interested in apps and such, so this seems the best option for me. Will post the dmesg and logcat later.
[Nook Touch General] happynobita:
Okay, so I restored my backup image and checked the wi-fi. That is coming up as "Unsuccessfull", too. So maybe the problem is my wifi setup? My ipod connects fine, so I'm not sure what the problem is.

Just for future knowledge, is it safe to erase and de-register the device with different sized partitions?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jex77er:
Hi folks

I used this app to unlock my phone (SGS2) from Three UK to Orange UK - Worked perfectly...! (Rated 5 stars in the market by the way)

Then (stupidly?!) I upgraded the firmware using the Samsung OTA update this morning to WKF4 (which went well) but now I get "No Service" when using my Orange SIM. I can put in the original Three SIM card and it works fine (eg I get service and can make calls), when I insert my orange the problem returns.

I do not get a box asking for my unlock code a second time when inserting the Orange SIM.

Does any kind individual have any pointers or ideas?

Some extra information: I notice that Im prompted to download a further update (which I havent done yet). Im running on Android 2.3.3 (Yes Im rooted and have SU permissions according to Titanium backup)

*#SIMLOCK# shows everything is OFF

Any pointers welcome :)

Thanks

Hello my fellow XDAers!

I have a blueray player that has an ethernet port. My question is besides using a hardwire. What is the simplest way to connect it to my wireless router?

I thought of several, like a ehternet bridge to my laptop, a wireless ehernet bridge, and the adapter that runs internet threw the powerwires.

Which way is the easiest, lasting and permenent solution (besides hardwire).?

Thanks!
[Off-topic] Archer:
They're all usable and good solutions, but I'd personally go for going through power lines. I don't have it myself but plan to get it very soon. A friend has it and he strongly recommends it. He gets speeds round his whole house that wifi simply could not compete with.
[Off-topic] M_T_M:
Elaborate as I'm interested also :confused:
[Off-topic] cdesai:
Its like an extension box

You plug it into a socket, and it converts the socket to a socket + Ethernet port

So for e.g.

You plug in one where you place your router, and connect it by a cable

Next, near your TV/DVD player, you connect another, and then connect the cable

And then just you need to do so more setup, cant remember now, a bit sleepy, will post tomorrow :-)

From my fingers to your eyez
[Off-topic] Archer:
It sounds like lies, but it's true!

http://computer.howstuffworks.com/power-network.htm

My mate picked up 2 for a fiver in a charity shop, so he has one in a socket near his router and then can move the other one round the house as required.

I've been advised that there are 2 different types - 85Mbps and 200Mbps. As long as you get the same type then you can mix and match makes, but he got a real bargain. The cheapest I can find on ebay is £32 for 2 200Mbps ones. If you're not too fussed about the bandwidth then you can get them cheaper.

[Off-topic] m0sul:
I would be interested to know how far the signal travels before it degrades too much to be readable, for example how many people on your street will be receiving the data also??
[Off-topic] Archer:
The range is supposed to degrade anything over 300m, so that's quite a lot. Yes, obviously security would be an issue if the communication wasn't encrypted, but it is. You can set the encryption keys yourself, so it's down to you if it's not secure.
[Off-topic] Droidmoder:
Thanks, ill get the powerline solution. Ive researched all and this one seems like the best choice, thanks for the feedback it did help me make a decison.

Its not fake btw, netgear and linksys both sell these kits for around $80-100 us.
[Off-topic] TravisBean:
That's right, the technology to intelligently modulate a signal over existing power lines has been around since the 1960's (if not longer).

Hi,

I don't want the home button to give me a view of all my home screens when double pressed. I keep hitting it on accident. Is there a way to disable this?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Deron Baker:
I searched and searched and cannot find any settings to turn this feature off. There is a setting in the Applications submenu to change the home button double tap to launch an application of your choice, but this will not solve your problem. Short of downloading a replacement launcher home screen, I'm not sure there is any workaround. Just refrain the brain not to hit that button twice.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Iguana775:
Would be nice to be able to disable that. it's pretty annoying.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] RobHunt:
Likely need a new launcher as this feature is probably "baked in" to the BLUR experience! :confused: I know that you can disable the "previews" (I think they are called that) in LauncherPro. I know many enjoy GO and ADW as well.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Szadzik:
What are you two talking about? Go into Settings>Applications and then into Homescreen double tap. Choose NONE.

DONE!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] onslaught86:
They're talking about the utterly useless homescreen overview feature, not the double tap app launcher. Go to the stock Blur launcher, head to the homescreen, then press home again. Behold, a pretty preview feature that doesn't do anything useful (like let you rearrange the screens).

Best solution is to use a different launcher, unfortunately. The Blur home is pretty, but its excessive animations and bloated app drawer make using the phone a much less efficient & pleasant experience than it should be.

It appears that alot of that bloated app drawer comes standard on ICS.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Elim:
Hi,

I don't know if I am the only one but I had some problems with some ebooks where the line height in the reader was so small that the book wasn't readable.

Okay, there are also other readers but here the pen didn't work.

So I search a little bit - also here in the forum - didn't found an answer and explore the flyer and found a solution: There is a apart CSS file which overwrite values in the epub. Normally this contain only font and color information but you can also add other CSS tags like the line height:

html, body { background-color:rgb(242,242,242); color:rgb(0,0,0); line-height: 1.5; }

Figure: Before and after

The file can be found under (on Honeycomb, maybe on Gingerbread is it another directory):

/data/data/com.htc.ereader/files/userStyle.css

I attach two files (in a zip) with a 1.5ex line height, at which the "mobileLayout" version has some extra tags (like this modus in the reader self but unlike with serifs). Which can be copied (I use QtADB) from the ZIP into this directory.

Here a ADB command:

> adb push userStyle.css /data/data/com.htc.ereader/files/

I hope this helps someone else :) And you can use the Reader afterwards with all functions, also the font size can be changed. All changes are keeped. But most changes under "Settings" overwrite the changes.

Regards,

Elim

PS. This can also be used to change the font family or the colors.

PPS. The book from the figure is "Judassohn" from Markus Heitz ;-)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Sweetpea8472:
Hmm, this could be interesting... Let's see if I can find that file (probably only after I manage to root though...)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Elim:
Okay, I am rooted :D but I check it and the file can be changed with any user. But maybe this is a "tweak" in my custom ROM.

You can check it with (or try to overwrite the file):

adb shell ls -l /data/data/com.htc.ereader/files/userStyle.css

On my Flyer I got:

-rw-rw-rw- root root 749 [...]
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Sweetpea8472:
I found the file, edited it, but sadly can't change my major gripe with this reader app: the huge margins... Looks like they are built in the application itself.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Elim:
Yes and no. There are margins in the app self (~ 1cm) but also in the eBooks and the last can be reduced:

body { margin: 0pt; ... }

p { margin: 0pt; ...}

div.block, div.chapter { margin: 0px; ... }

PS. You can see it also in the figure above.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Sweetpea8472:
The margins in my book are 2mm. (I know, because I make my epubs myself :))

But that 1cm margin on the app itself is about 8mm too wide. And while it might not seem much, as that is on both sides, it'll be over 1.5cm width that I'm missing.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Elim:
I know and for me is it okay but I try it also.

It's not possible. The text is then (with negative margin values) outside the app-container which mean the margins are still there (white blocks) but your text is behind them :mad:

Maybe with transparent blocks? I can try something else... :)

EDIT: I found something else :D
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Sweetpea8472:
lol... Could have said the negative margin wouldn't help, tried that first thing yesterday :D

So, what's that else and did it work?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kristovaher:
I did not have that problem for a long time, it only recently happened. In the morning the device 'froze' for the first time and did not react to any input without the screen turning on.

I took out the battery to restart and everything seemed fine. But later on it happened while I was using the device, certain pixels moved out of place (like a green pixel distortion) and the device froze. Screen turned off soon after. Taking out the battery was the only option.

Now, this is either battery or some other hardware flaw. After restart the battery had been hit with a 20% drop.

Might the device act up by some charging problems? When I am charging the device, I can feel the electric 'buzz' from the docking connectors (the three golden circles).

Also, when it is not charging, I cannot detect it myself, but if I take a strand of hair, the end of it 'sticks' lightly to the screen (and to the docking connector) if I put it close there. I fear like there's some manufacturing flaw there that broke loose.

The device has not dropped once, nor has had any other physical damage happen to it.

Has anyone else had the same symptoms happen?

I've had that too, couple days ago using Facebook everything just froze. The keyboard went all buggy and green pixels everywhere. The back of the phone started to warm up phone wouldn't respond in any way.

Tried everything I could try, only option was to pull the battery, once that happened phone wouldn't turn back on!

I gave the phone 5 mins to rest before putting battery back in then it turned on.

My heart was pounding I thought my phone had died!

Thankfully it hasn't happened since :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] [hfm]:
It's happened to me multiple times. Less since I turned off the EQ in the Music app, but it's still happening.

Once it happened with the device just sitting there with Tapatalk displaying a list of posts. I wasn't even interacting with it.

I think it's a OS or driver problem and will be fixed in an OTA.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] knome:
happened to me once, although when it happened I was already pretty low on battery, about 20% left, maybe less.

I was in a settings menu for some app, I can't remember which. But I had the keyboard up, and the green pixels hit, froze, unfroze, green pixels again, froze, and then shut off.

it would not turn on via the power button, so I quickly pulled the batt and put it back after 30 secs or so and powered it up. Batt did not drop any lower than it was, and it worked fine. Plugged it in, recharged overnight, and has been fine ever since.

I'm running 4.0.1 and I don't have anything but apps made by Google on the phone at the moment.

never rooted or unlocked bootloader.

Hopefully 4.0.2 or 4.0.3 fixes this
