Is there an ics theme for this? Or any cool themes?
[HTC Inspire 4G] cableguychad:
I was having aa similaar with slow locks also, so I restored a backup of MIUI I had and was getting a lock in about 10 seconds. So I took the GPS.conf from Miui and was getting a lock in under 20 seconds with 10 sats/20 ft accuracy. Here's the file I used. Just remove the .zip off the end of the file name as it wouldn't let me upload it otherwise.
[HTC Inspire 4G] fernandezhjr:
Thanks, I'm going to use this file in some comparison checks. You saying you actually changed the file out while on one of these roms and it worked to give you the same results as on the MIUI rom?
[HTC Inspire 4G] fernandezhjr:
I haven't seen anyone making themes for this base yet. Whatever you do, I wouldn't apply themes from the 1.05.401.4 base. Do so at your own risk, but there are some incompatibilities between the bases that would likely create issues.
[HTC Inspire 4G] cableguychad:
Yes exactly. I was having slow lock times til I changed this file.
[HTC Inspire 4G] trilljester:
Understood. I like how fast it goes, I'll try a couple of the OC manager apps and see how they work with this ROM. I'll report back if you're interested.

Another question: Is there a way to add more items to the Quick Settings menu?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Garmig:
Yeap...I love this ROM with Sense 3.5 :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] :
Same values are in our gps config file....so not sure if thats exactly why you were having issues or not, could be your radio also....
[HTC Inspire 4G] SGF11:
@ Chris

I would check your GPS ANT cover. I have 2 inspires, and one locks in 2 seconds and one locks in a couple minutes. However, I can swap covers and the time changes for both. I don't think its Rom related.
[HTC Inspire 4G] cableguychad:
I'm not what the issue is either but replacing the gps.conf makes it lock almost instantly for me.
[HTC Inspire 4G] chrisz5z:
I'm thinking that's what it is. Because I even tried replacing the gps.conf with one I used to get 2 sec locks with and it didn't help. My antennas may have been moved around since I last used the older gps.conf

I'll check em and report back...
[HTC Inspire 4G] PakRatt:
No theme or skin made yet, but ICS HD by he_stheonde skin for 3.5 Rom, will work if you want to stray from the original setup WC has set.
[HTC Inspire 4G] chrisz5z:
The pins were actually bent down a little, bent them up some. Now I lock on to 8 sats in a couple secs @ 45m :-)
[HTC Inspire 4G] gmurphy0487:
Battery life running this Rom is absolutely amazing. I'm getting just as good as an AOSP Rom.
[HTC Inspire 4G] :
Glad your enjoying it....some new stuff will be coming soon....but for right now gotta build a new rom for the vivid...hehehe just got an unlocked bootloader:D:cool::p
[HTC Inspire 4G] gmurphy0487:
I wish I had a vivid..... :(

Anyways, here is a screenshot for anyone that cares about battery life, which is probably all of us.

[HTC Inspire 4G] s8int117:
I flashed a battery% and lost the rc extended quicksettings, i rather have the quiksettings so reflashed rc and lost battery%. Will putting back the h+ have the same effect?

And when flashing rctweaks always remember to backup first.
[HTC Inspire 4G] homeslice976:
Both are modding systemui.apk and framework-res.apk. so whichever you flash last will be what takes affect. You would need to do the battery mod on the framework res.apk found in rctweaks. I'll do it..what battery do you want? Sounds like stock%?
[HTC Inspire 4G] homeslice976:
Oops..delete me
[HTC Inspire 4G] kkvtribe:
ICS Theme?

Very interested in this. I installed WCX, then the theme.zip and apk. Getting a Force Close on Touch Input (processcom.htc.android.htcime) can't even select another keyboard... Any ideas?

I am Not straying from WCX but am missing the non-stock look.

IS this the correct theme: ?

Thank you...we worked hard on these....:cool:
[HTC Inspire 4G] homeslice976:
Here you go. Flash this on top of RCTweaks 2.0 to get H+ and Stock% battery and keep other tweaks. Thanks to UOT kitchen for battery mod.

Note: As previously stated, flashing these tweaks could be undoing changes/tweaks WildChild has made in some system files. This .zip contains the SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk from RCTweaks (and com.htc.resources from WC's 3.5 ROM) - so any changes WC has made to these first two files are overwritten - as well as a bunch of other files looking at RCTweaks. So Flash AYOR
[HTC Inspire 4G] s8int117:
Awesome. Will give it a shot, will be very easy to spot any decrease in performance and if so theres always my bkup, thanks once again.

This rom and you guys are amazing.

Edit;

Tried it out and battery% works great, but i cant say the same for the h+, it is constantly switching between 3g to h+ alot. So am reverting back to how i had it. Thank you anyways, u guys are very helpful.
[HTC Inspire 4G] lateral18:
that is incredible , that is the battery i get in a full charge , you have it to 56% . i am in love

How to sign up on Barnes and Nobel's website

To sign up on the Barnes & Nobel "book club" forum, and report your issues with your device, you can use your Barnes & Nobel Username and Password. You only need to select a name for the forum.

Getting Results

Lets link the topics here. If we want the topics to be highly visible to Barnes and Nobel, we must all "Laurel" (aka thanks) each other's posts. Here are some of my posts:

Keep in mind that this is a "noob" forum. They will look up to you if you are developing. Noobs go to the "book club" to learn how to use their devices. We want to make sure the noobs see that we have more problems than they do with the device as it is. It needs to be opened up.

Official Channels (aka probly wont' work)

Here is another link for forwarding your concerns to higher levels https://nookdeveloper.barnesandnoble.com/support/support.html

email addresses for expressing your free-thinking concerns.

Using our community to push their community

I will laurel every development/root enabling link in this thread. So post up your Barnes and Nobel forum threads here and we can all laurel each others posts to bring them into the "top laureled posts" on Barnes and Nobel and thereby make them unable to ignore our posts.

Lets send several clear messages.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] HMG10:
Don't forget their NT youtube channel. They had a video about the 1.4.1 update and I had commented there about opening up the device for developers.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] xdahgary:
B&N won't get it. We need more devs to work on this device. I'm sure with enough eyeballs on this thing we will be able to crack it.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] AdamOutler:
Attitudes like that are extremely unhelpful. In fact, I take offense to that. Only a handful of members on this site are actually developers and others(like you) take an attitude that development 'just happens'.

Here's some news for you, douchebag, development is tons of work. Its trials and tribulations. Its blood, sweat and tears. Its trial and error. Countless hours of work. And before we can even begin, we need a workaround for the security.

Guess what.. This is it. This is called social engineering. As stated by the most effective social engineer in the world, 'The best way to get a password is to ask for it". Until we have that password, there will be no development.

Now stop *****ing about **** you don't know and get in there to do some work. There's those who help and those who hinder. Guess what your post does.

This thread is about one thing. If you don't have anything to contribute, don't be a douchebag.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dkb218:
Return the NT. They will get their attention. Mine goes back next week. No to locked bootloader. No to blocked side loading. No to Barnes and Noble. I'll buy my books from Amazon from now on.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ronaldmaustin:
I'll be returning my NT as I am within the two week return period unless the bootloader is broken within a matter of days. Otherwise, even if 1.4.1 becomes rootable again I can't check every few days to see if an update is coming and take the time to read all the preventative steps to avoid having to re-root. It is quite a disappointment to have gotten everything working on my NT only to find root broken, some of my apps completely gone and wifi ad hoc not working this morning.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] real-6:
I'm certainly not a developer, so I'll help with the means available. Unfortunately, after logging in on the B&N forum, it seems clicking on the laurel doesn't iterate the counter...

Don't know what's wrong, I'm trying over Safari or Chrome
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] xdahgary:
You're taking it too personal. I have contributed in every way in the development. I have donated and left comments on your B&N links. But changing a corporation's mindset is very difficult. I hope B&N will change their ways, but I'm not optimistic. I would like more developers taking interest in the nook tablet instead. And I in no means believe development just happens. That is why I buy them beers.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] raqball:
I fail to see the need to call someone a douchebag because they stated the obvious... B&N does not care, nor will internet posts change their mind..

Returning the device won't really impact them as 97% of users will / can care less about hacking it...

Instead of jumping up and down like caged animals and threatning to return it why not trust in the developers of XDA? I do and I often hit their donate button...

I guess I'm next to get called a douche...

Thanks Adam for the initiative you are taking on this product. I hope it eventually helps.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Nurb432:
While i share in the sentiment that B&N is not going to care about a hand full of noisy people, ill put my 2 cents in at the store and their sites and cross my fingers. We are not asking for that much, are we?

I'm way past my 2 week grace period so I'm either stuck with it or it goes on e-bay at a loss if there isn't a work around in a reasonable amount of time. ( no I'm not slamming on the xda developers.. just that at some point you have to cut your losses and give up )

I did buy the device with full intent for a couple of non-bn functions, and while some of them still work ( but not all ) it will still prevent me from ever updating the app which means at some point, its useless.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] fortunz:
It's worth a few seconds of our time.

To anyone who does head over there, try to be positive. There are a few members there who are personally insulting folks like us, please don't take the bait. They aren't your intended audience, you won't change their minds even if they were and they aren't worth your time anyway. Just stay positive and encourage openness, and laurel those posts that do the same.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] GreenFuzzer:
Will do Adam. It is the least we can do for someone who has done so much for all of us. I started emailing them a couple days ago thinking the squeaky wheel and all that but continue to get the auto-response.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] zmobie:
Bah humbug? :P Great thread.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tmlee51:
This is a thread on B&N's community board. A link in this thread states the special return/refund policy for this holiday season -

http://bookclubs.barnesandnoble.com...licy/m-p/1246537/message-uid/1246537#U1246537

Only the top management at this time can make difference. One thing for sure that the top management cares more than the customer complaint is the earnings. My theory is that if there are enough returns to impact the earnings, this may help the top management to think through the issue clearly.

B&N's 3rd qtr ends on January 31, 2012 which coincide with the extended return period for holiday (see the link above). So you can make the best judgement about what you can do to help yourselves.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Drewmungus:
First I'm not personally going after you here. I see this type of opinion across alot of forums. When you go to return it you don't have the option to say any of things you have pointed out. Us XDA'ers may be a minority but we are known to be very loud. I do feel that Adam's plan is the best course of action to accomplish what is needed to make the Nook a great tablet.

That being said, everything you have pointed out is very real concern to me, and I have been seriously considering returning mine. But I'm not really seeing any real development(comparing to the major phones) on any tablet besides the Samsung galaxy tab(which I can't afford) I'm thinking once Adam and the rest of the guys in the development thread get through the bootloader issue we might have one of the better development communities's going once we can attract the rest of the nook color guys.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tmlee51:
The complaints about 1.4.1 are written everywhere. It's very hard to imagine that B&N is not knowing about what is going on.

The advantage of being a Tablet ex-owner is no longer emotionally attached to the device and will be able to see the situation without bias. If s/he still likes it, it's always possible to buy it back in February. May be a pre-owned one at a discount?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Marti1337:
Don't know if you guys got the memo, but unless you bought your NT before November 14th, you have until January 31st(I think) to return them, open or unopened. Extended holiday returns are a beautiful thing. I would post a link to the info on the website, but I'm too lazy.

Merry Christmas!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Nurb432:
So i got my first reply from B&N that basically stated they really don't care , and they removed side loading to prevent piracy. So i guess that means all other markets are just pirates? My foot, its all about lock-in and restriction of free trade.

Last B&N product i ever buy.

I'm also forwarding a complaint on to my states attorney general.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] KCKitsune:
I decided against getting a Nook Tablet, and told my family not to get a Nook Tablet. Since I'm the IT guy of the family my words have a lot of weight when it comes to buying tech goodies.

That's how we here in this board can hurt B&N bottom line. WE'RE the guys/gals that our family comes to and says: "Is this a good thing to get?" and our answer can steer them to or away from the NT. Right now the answer to them is stay away from the Nook Tablet.

My sister and father both got Kindle Fires BTW.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tonyp22:
Nurb, did you get that via email? If so could you post it here?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] blue_bullet:
I would like to see it as well. Certainly cooler heads will prevail at B&N. If not, they will have a slew of angry customers=bad advertising to deal with. Amazon will love it.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Goferbroke:
Let's identify the real villains here

B&N didn't care about the bootloader before the NT. What changed?

It's simple. B&N made the decision to go head to head with Amazon and the Kindle Fire. Their app store vs the Amazon app store. Netflix vs Amazon Prime. And here's where the boot loader comes in.

Netflix is terrified about losing their content providers (the MPAA and the RIAA). Both organizations won't tolerate any chance that a user can rip a Netflix stream, which is why you can't get Netflix on Linux (you need to install Silverlight). I'm sure the agreement that got Netflix on board with B&N was that B&N would lock down any new devices, so that users would have no control over them. Thus, a locked bootloader.

So, while I appreciate Adam's efforts here, B&N has no options here. Their response is in accord with what Netflix (and Netflix's masters, the MPAA/RIAA) have told them. No amount of social engineering will change that. The users at Netflix have been complaining about Linux not having a client for years, and Netflix will not listen.

Is it justified? No, I think it's outrageous, since anything ripped from a Nook does not compare to what's being ripped from DVD's now and avaliable on bittorrent, but that does NOT matter to Netflix/MPAA/RIAA.

Why don't we see this in other android devices? Well, we do, but they aren't dependent on Netflix, since Amazon Prime is an option (along with Hulu/HBO Go/etc). So Netflix does not have the leverage with them they do with B&N.

I wish Google had bought B&N, then this wouldn't be an issue, but it is. I wish Adam the best on this, but I would be careful...B&N can be just as nasty as Sony was.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lehite:
I sent an email to customer support discussing my dismay with the update. The reply sounded very distraught and they assured me that they would forward my concerns to the appropriate people (roll eyes).

Hope this helps in some way!

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] AdamOutler:
Nothing is stopping them from having a development version of xLoader "accidentally" make it out into the public. Once the signed xLoader gets out, it's a group of "hackers" who breach security, not Barnes and Nobel, and it won't violate their terms of service.

All we need is a signed xLoader from the Blaze Development board. I'm absolutely sure they have them around on their hard disks.

Once we have this, we don't need to worry about hacking Barnes and Nobel.. Or looking for workarounds for problems they are causing. This will allow us to support our own firmware builds.

Until it becomes common place, EVERY SINGLE HACK for this device will be newsworthy.

Where did you write this? Got an email address?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rjin9673:
I didn't know XDA was about returning devices, and not about ways to develop on them.

Maybe it should be called XDA-Quitters, or XDA-ReturnCentral
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] AdamOutler:
They're a douchebag for being counterproductive... As are you. We push through security here, we don't take this **** lying down.

I'd like to make some suggestions, and each step along the way is enough to get the attention of XDA-Portal and engadet

Make the first custom Nook Tablet ROM with a folder full of files, adb shell remount the system R/W and adb push command.. for starters include market app Mount System R/W, ADW Launcher and of course Android Market. Brand it as a ROM.

Change a single bit on the boot partition to verify only the first few bytes are checked

begin making custom kernels

Nook Tablet Apache Web-server via ubuntu

remount your /dev/ folder and use the video device with the web-server to stream netflix

Write a desktop web-based stream recorder to turn your nook tablet into a PVR for netflix
