Hi,

I'm rooted my phone with this guide but when I try to overclock it to 1.2GHz with

cpu master free it is still locked to 1.0 Ghz. What I need to do to see more

overclocking options regarding to 1 GHz and above?

I have stock 2.3.4 GB I don't want to update this untill ICS is out.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] s4sixty:
U need to flash 2.3.6 rom and also flash one of the 2 available overclock kernals to be able to overclock ur SGR.

Cheers !
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Calleh:
So it's just when installing an custom rom the counter increases?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] :
Custom roms, custom kernels... but ONLY if you install them via Odin...dvs. files with .tar / .tar.md5 extensions ;)

Flashing files (.zip) via clockworkmod (recovery) never increases the counter!
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Calleh:
Always good to know! However, I did install CWM with Odin, did that count or...?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] :
Nope it didn't :)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] mrsaccess:
Is there a CWM Touch version compatible with our device?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Clauds:
Hello,

As far as I understand: if I want to make a full backup of my software I must install CWM - on my phone (like in the firs post of this thread).

If I install this CWM on my phone - this doesn't void my warranty ?

Sorry for noob question ... i'm at the beginning.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] s4sixty:
Make sure it is not there when u bring it back to Samsung. :D
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] fongkit82:

I have this issue in video recording.Will it be resolved if I install this custom firmware or custom ROMs?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] :
All custom roms are based on stock now, so I really don't think it's gonna make any difference. Maybe in a close future.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] muqtarbaig:
Did you also face the problem in video recording in the mentioned conditions? Or will GB 2.3.6 help resolve this issue of mine. Which version of GB are you using? I currently have XWKI5 2.3.5 stock ROM from samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] mj.vikram:
can you please upload the video with the problem because i am also on same stock ROM and i am not having any issue while recording.

Try this ROM if you want to flash GB 2.3.6 it may solve ur issue (not sure).
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] muqtarbaig:
I am unable to upload the video as of now. Google/youtube for 'fluorescent light video flicker'. You may find the issue easily.Not sure if this is a fault with the camera or the O.S..
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] :
First of all it's not a right thread to discuss this matter, and I'm sorry but I haven't noticed any single issue with video recording. Videos at the beginning are little bit too yellow and it takes few seconds to adjust, but I guess that is how it is supposed to be.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] SkyDX:
Thanks for the guide, I will attempt to root a friends Galaxy R today though I have a question, do we absolutely need a SD card or will the internal memory work for CWM .zip installations?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] s4sixty:
Either should work i think.

No harm trying.

EFS backup

Would be good to add information about /efs backup into the first message of this thread and stress the importance of this. Just need to add this url or any other - searching for "efs backup" on XDA gives a lot of information.

After my own unfortunate experience I now know how important it is to have a backup of this data. Too bad CWM can't back it up.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] :
I think it would be even better to open a brand new thread about EFS - backup and make it sticky! Very important stuff!
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] chandanbs:
just curious to know.. when do we lose the efs data on our SGR phones? Do we lose if we are flashing a new image and suddenly the usb connection is terminated with pc? or say battery becomes dead while flashing the image?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] mj.vikram:
Based on my knowledge when you are flashing ROM's frequently or restoring backups frequently using CWM or if some thing wrong in update script which will lead to delete the data EFS folder.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] The-Droidster:
There is no mention of busybox in this method...should I assume that it gets installed:confused:??:rolleyes:

[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] astax:
This may happen if "Phone EFS clear" checkbox is set in Odin (pretty obvious, huh?) or if "Re-partition" is selected with a PIT file (not so obvious).

In my case I was restoring dead phone using APX mode (it died on its own without any reason) and re-partitioning was one of mandatory steps.

But there is no action when I select any menu-option. I can only shut down by pressing ON for a longer time.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] viniosity:
I have comixology side-loaded on my Nook Tablet and have been happily purchasing some comics. I really like the interface and wanted to use it as my main reading app for other CBR and CBZ files I have. Does anyone know how to do this? I can't find an option for opening an external file in the app anywhere.

Else, is there a recommendation for another Comic Book viewer app? At the moment I'm using PerfectViewer which is really nice, but I miss the feature where I can go pane by pane like in comixology.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] succulent:
cbr and cbz are just container for image format like jpg or png. Comixology uses drm format. and with each file is a comic panel. They are stored in /sdcard/android/data/<appname>. There are no reader that I've seen that can read by panel with cbz or cbr.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] moviecouple:
Well, for android comic book cbr/cbz reading there are the following:

Droid Comic Viewer

Comica

Comic Reader Mobi

JJ Comic Viewer

Now, I am not sure what does and doesn't work with the Nook Tablet as I haven't opened mine yet. Christmas gift and all. But, all this work great on my old Galaxy Tab and they also work on the Kindle Fire. Think I like Comica the best.

Just a side note:

Grab yourself a Box account (50gb free storage) and put all your books in there and then when you want to read stuff, pull them form your Box account. That way your not bogging down your system. Great combination for reading on the run. Of course you still need some kind of wifi connection.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] maxspr1:
The nook tablet's stock reader reads cbz files, and it's pretty decent at it. It's super easy to open and rename cbr files to cbz too. The nook tab's ability to read cbz files right out of the box was one of the reasons i chose it over other makes. I've rooted mine, but i still the use the stock reader for most of my comics reading (DC & Marvel apps for the rest).
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jeremystyle:
perfect viewer

works great for me ... ive had some issues getting it to open .rar files even though it says it should but the interface is great and the bookshelf feature is pretty cool.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] -UnitMonster-:
I have had problems with the Nook displaying cover art, so I've actually been converting cbr's and cbz's to epub's. Since using epub's I don't need an additional reader.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Fuzzyluzzi:
I also got the NT for the native CBZ reading. However, the lack of a directory for it and unable to continue reading like books made me look into apps.

I have been using ComicRack as my program of choice for reading, managing and syncing my comics. It can convert from CBR to CBZ or PDF. And the new android app for it works great on my rooted NT. Syncing is a breeze and it actually optimizes the comics to take up less space on your SD card.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] maxspr1:
I'll have to try ComicRack--sounds interesting!

As for a directory, I just created a folder on my SD card named "Comics." Inside this folder, I've organized my comic files into subfolders (using either comic titles or creators for folder names). The Nook Tablet (even before I rooted) had no issues reading from either the Comics folder or its subfolders. Also, I've had no problem getting the comics to show up in the "My Shelves" part of the Nook library (stock), complete with cover art showing.

Having said all this, and after singing the praises of the stock reader for comics, I just started using an app called Droid Comic Viewer from the Android Market. Comic pages are significantly clearer with this app--not sure why. I just set it up to navigate to my self-created "Comics" folder on the SD card and that has become the default directory for the app. I wish i could select the comics from the "My Shelves" part of the Nook library and have them open with Droid Comic Viewer. Anyone know how to do this? It's nothing absolutely necessary, but I like the My Shelves feature and how it displays the comic covers.

---------- Post added at 02:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:48 PM ----------

I just realized my last post wasn't all that clear:

what I'd like to do is open the nook library, go to the "My shelves" part of the library, select a comic and have it open with the app of my choice as opposed to only with the stock nook reader. Is something like this even possible? Again, not anything crucial--just sounds cool.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] zaptoons:
Another vote for ComicRack- definitely my favorite comic reader and organizer.

---------- Post added at 12:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:58 AM ----------

It should be possible, depending on the comic reader app(s) installed.

For me- I get no choice from the library but to open comics with the stock reader. From the shelves view, if I long press on a comic there's a setting to 'clear the Default Launcher' which in this case I would assume to be the 'launcher' for the comic file, not the Nook. But it never changes anything and I never get a dialogue to 'complete action using' and a list of apps.

With .epub book files, I do get a choice, but it only lists the stock reader, or mantano reader free which I've installed- but no listing of Aldiko or Moon Reader which are also installed. If I check the box to choose a permanent default, then the only way I've found to clear it is with Appmenu.

So I'm thinking the library only recognizes a small number of apps as alternatives- maybe some of the other comic reader apps will show up as an alternative, but ComicRack definitely doesn't. It may be because the apps I'm using are all library/manger apps of their own, not just strictly readers.

At any rate- I've chosen to use ComicRack for comics because it has a great interface to organize comics and view the covers, and Aldiko reader for books for the same reason, and I don't bother with the stock library.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] maxspr1:
Nevermind--I'm a convert! ComicRack is perfect for me. It has better controls and options than Droid comic Viewer and it displays comics by their covers automatically--I prefer that to browsing folders in Droid Comic Viewer. Thanks to the people here for recommending ComicRack.

As for the shelves, I tried what you mentioned about clearing the default launcher, zaptoons, and same thing happened: no other apps to choose from. I like ComicRack's interface quite a bit, so now I don't care so much about this.

One question about Aldiko reader: will it display cover art for pdf files?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] zaptoons:
Yes, it shows the first page of the PDF as a cover.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] mhworley:
Gotta say, comicrack is pretty sweet. Great suggestion!

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CheapGuy:
Beware of the cheap eBay cases. I've tried several styles and one has basically ruined the painted trim on one of our NTs. Ironically the cheaper one with the elastic straps causes the least amount (no) damage while the ones with the "leather" frame-type holder has rubbed off or damaged the trim on another of our NTs. The elastic straps also do a better job of holding the NT since the "leather" trim ones has begun to stretch and allow the tablet to slide around.

Sorry it took so long, but here are the pics - excuse the dirty screen - seems like the screen savers smear up more that the unprotected screen:
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] zmobie:
You can try oxalic acid containing products ("Barkeeper's Friend") and if that doesn't work it's pretty permanent. It's stronger than vinegar but it's the same idea; it should be safe on plastics. This is assuming it IS a stain and not rubbed off (the above looks rubbed off).
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] phon00b:
I bought the same case in those pics and took the same cornholing . I tried all kinds of stuff to clean it and stopped just short of acetone. Right now my nt has a Skinomi skin on it, but when that eventually gets scuffed up and removed, I'll try that barkeeper's friend suggestion.
