[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] LanceUlmer:
I just rooted my nook tablet and removed a bunch of bloat. I had to do a lot of it manually because I am on a mac. The root method works great, but it is not quite as full featured as the windows version.

I am curious, is there a way to get rid of the little menu that pops up when I push the "n" button? The one that says "home, library, shop, search, apps, web, settings". It's driving me crazy. Most of those apps aren't installed anymore.

My ideal is for this to be as close to a honeycomb tablet as possible.

Thank you,

Lance
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rjin9673:
Our closest way is to use HomeCatcher to use it to go to our default launcher. I don't believe we've found a way to remove that menu all together.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] LanceUlmer:
I was afraid of that. I can live with it though. Thank you!

EDIT: If this is helpful at all, the honeycomb launcher actually captures the "n" button and treats it like a back button. No other apps do this so far.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ckevinwelch:
That's not just Honeycomb Launcher ... I use ADW EX and I have that too. I see it in a lot of apps (not quite all, but more than don't). Also, it's been said before, but swiping right to left on the notification bar will function as Back.

[Xoom General] mrdeviance:
Hey, it's pretty difficult to navigate all the threads and guides sometimes, I'm a new to XDA as well.

This thread should help you out, there's a breakdown below from me as well :D

If anything below is wrong, could someone correct me - my Xoom arrives today and below is what I understand the process to be from my reading ...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1249798

1. Install Motorola USB drivers, Java SDK and Android SDK tools (for adb and fastboot)

3. Unlock the device or "bootloader") allows the flashing or replacement of recovery and boot images

4. Install a modified recovery image (ClockWorkMod recovery for Android). This is known as CWM and is an app that allows you to easily flash new ROMS and Kernals etc to the device.

5. Root the device (Allow r/w access to the device filesystem)

6. Do Nandroid (full backup) with CWM (Optional)

7. Party on and Flash new ROMS / Kernals etc!

====

You can restore your device to Stock by downloading a stock image for your Xoom model and flashing via Fastboot...

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] SteveDusa:
I guess I should've never even bother to try anything that's known to be bad, but this is the first time I'm stuck here with a soft brick View.

Let me explain. My View is Revolutionary S-Off with a patched HC Hboot (6.14.5555) running stock HC and SU flashed. I saw the 1.8gHz OC kernel so I went ahead and downloaded it, and that's when the trouble started.

The CWR failed to flash that kernel, then my Wifi broke. So I thought no problem I'll try redownload, reflash and anything I can think off but it keeps on failing to flash. I can't even find the tmp folder where the boot.img is using fastboot or adb shell.

Then I thought I'll just restore to my NAND backup. No luck, somehow I have a MD5 Mismatch and I can't even restore to the way it was.

What I did next? Ran the RUU back to GB and then I realized that the HBoot is not going work with the GB and that's where I am stuck now.

I have fastboot the mini-ruu.zip's recovery.img but it just stuck at the white background with the green HTC logo.

Man I'm royally screwed... if any of you have any idea, any help is appreciated.

I hate myself for being curious now...

---------------------

Nevermind I Was able to get back to the recovery because thanks to Globaltron I forgot the "therest.zip"

Now I just need a working copy of OS... not sure if GB is going to work with the HC HBoot...

-----------------------

Update

Well it's back to normal, thanks to Globaltron and CleverNameHere and his beta HC I was able to get back to working condition.

Let this be a lesson that if somehow your OTA HC was broken and the NAND restore went haywire, RUU, fastboot and follow this: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20742958&postcount=194 then flash a flashable HC copy and you shall be fine.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowRayz:
Issue is slightly different then the few others i managed to dig up, i'll break it down.

Nexus one, Rooted+RA-passion-v2.2.1

Forgot pattern unlock.

USB debugging is off.

adb doesn't list the device.

Didn't setup GMAIL or anything yet.

Any suggestions?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
You could try making a nandroid backup, flash a new rom, then restore the data.img only.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowRayz:
Ty, will try :)

*EDIT*

Phone is stuck on Internet-pass-trough...PC can't access the memory when plugging to USB, any way to change that besides using a different phone as a buffer for the copy?

--The blackberry want's to format the SD >.>, doesn't agree to read it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowRayz:
Well, managed to install the latest Stable CM, got the nan backup .img files.

Do i move away all the other .img files and just leave the data.img and restore it?

Or

Do i create a new backup, and over-write the new data.img with the old data.img?

Or

Else?

ty.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
Boot into ClockworkMod recovery and select advanced restore (then you just choose data.img).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowRayz:
Still no contacts >.>.

The backup that contains the contacts wasn't created via ClockworkMod, but by nandroid...but it's same in the end of the day.

Could the issue be cause the back up and the current ROM are not the same?.

The original was Evolution and now it's CM.

any other possible ways to extract the contacts?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
Well, you could try reflashing the Evolution rom then restoring the data.img. No, there is no other way.

After ****ing with it for two hours, i've done it. Thank you so much :)
[Verizon Droid Charge] Chopstix9:
Hi Folks,

I am running Infinity 1204. I love it, stable as can be. Think I am gonna stay with this version after reading all the problems people are having with the 1211 version.

I am on CWM v5.0.2.7 and when I go to do a nandroid backup, it halts with an error sayin 'unable to create image of' on time it was system and the other was of data.

Has anyone else encountered this? Is it possible due to the ext4 formatting? any pointers?

Also: I have successfully done a backup with rom manager. It seems as though cwm sees this as a valid backup for restoring. Does anyone know if you can use a rom manager backup to restore in CWM?
[Verizon Droid Charge] xdadevnube:
I'm not much help, but I have successfully restored to CWM backups on 4.0.1.4 on Gummycharged FE 2.0 with IMO 13.6 kernel and I believe Humblecharged 5.0 RC2 with IMO 4.0 kernel.

Check the Infinity ROM thread from known issues with CWM 4.0.1.4. You may be able to use that version to create and restore backups. To my knowledge, people have successfully used the new version of CWM with Infinity to create and restore backups.

I don't know this for certain, but I haven't heard of a single successful instance of ROM manager working on this phone regarding backup and restore. I suspect it will not work, although it would be interesting to see.

Even if you soft-brick your device, you could easily get back to working order via Odin. I've soft-bricked a few times- as long as you can get into download mode, you should be fine.

You could try P3Droid's Odinmaker from the market. I haven't really used it much because I have been able to restore from CWM.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Chopstix9:
Yeah ... I'm pretty comfortable with Odin and CWM for flashing and installing zip files and such. I've had this phone since the weekend it hit the market and I have recovered from numerous brick jobs in learning my way around the phone.

But I've never played with nandroid until now and the phone hasn't completed a nandroid backup the couple of times I've tried it. Was just wondering if it was an issue maybe with this combination of ROM and CWM.

Edit: Now that I'm home I decided to try it with the cable plugged into desktop to ensure max power source. It goes through the whold backup process and at what I would assume is the end of the process it pukes up;

"Error while making a backup image of /datadata!"

But!! If I go back into the restore section of cwm, it does show a copy with today's date that I just performed. I just don't know if it is a valid full backup with the error I got.
[Kindle Fire Accessories] kbiz01:
Hi Folks,

Like everyone else I balked at the 25bucks they wanted for an extra Kindle Fire charger, then when searching for a charger with equivalent specs, I came across the Blackberry Playbook folding charger. It looks like it has the same 5V DC 1.8A output as the Kindle specs? Has anybody tried this? seems like a slightly better deal 8 bucks cheaper at $16.99 on amazon?
[Kindle Fire Accessories] nguyen925:
Not sure mathematically if it works, but if the output is identical it should be fine. I tried using the same charger I use for my G2 to recharge the Kindle Fire but it didn't work. Worth a shot though right?

[Kindle Fire Accessories] kbiz01:
Thanks, I'll try the iPad Wall Charger from eBay, at $6 that's low risk, just ordered it, hope it works.
[Kindle Fire Accessories] hijax2001:
I use the same charger and USB cables I use with my Motorola Atrix and they are interchangeable with the Kindle Fire...
[Kindle Fire Accessories] Jaa-Yoo:
All micro usb phone chargers are safe to use with the kindle. The standard for them is 5V +/-0.25V and 500 to 1500mA.

When trying to match a charger, always match the voltage as close as possible. A little above is ok, but too much voltage and your device can get fried, too little and it wont charge at all. As for Amps, matching that is not as important. If the Amps is higher, your device will only draw what it needs. If the Amps is lower, your device will only draw what the charger can give and will result in slower charging speeds.

So yeah, the playbook charger is good to go. :)
[Kindle Fire Accessories] RawRmon:
It's no longer 16.99, it went up in price. Cost 18.96 now!
[Kindle Fire Accessories] Jaa-Yoo:
This one for the galaxy tab, at ~$14, is safe to use and probably more reliable than the piece of crap that Amazon boxed in with the kindle fire. You'll have to provide your own micro usb cable though.
[Kindle Fire Accessories] U-MAD:
So for example an iPad charger with 2.1A output should work without problems?
[Kindle Fire Accessories] umarsl:
Other Chargers are good, however, I do not recommend the use of any other chargers expect the ones that come with the device.

As the charge could be different and there could be a charging time difference.

With the stock Kindle Charger the kindle charges faster than my Touchpad's Charger.

However, I use my charger's of Touchpad, Blackberry Playbook and Kindle Fire interchangeably with no problem so you should be good ;]
[Kindle Fire Accessories] waltcoleman:
Here's a tip for a free charger. Go to any local hotel and ask if they have a box of chargers you can dig through. Chances are they have several boxes.

I've done this a couple times, always works like a charm...people are always leaving them behind in hotel rooms and the hotel is none too happy to unload a bit of their stash.
[Kindle Fire Accessories] SCrid2000:
A Playbook charger will work fine (although TBH you should just get a Playbook ;))
[Kindle Fire Accessories] engbren:
Good

I use the playbook charger for my kindle fire and it works perfectly.
[Kindle Fire Accessories] jluke86:
I've always heard that you can use those slightly higher 2 amp chargers safely. I really should buy a few so can charge my phone faster at work and home.

thanks for the replies. Am i right in thinking that custom themes and custom rom's are the same thing? :S
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Unlawful:
Custom themes and customs roms aren't the same thing. Themes are high-level changes that don't really do much to the system itself (changing how it looks pretty much) whereas roms usually have many low-level changes and features.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gropherman:
Custom ROMS, themes, apps, overclocking, so on and so forth.

In other words, you get to have an actual bad ass phone without junk and crap that slows the phone down and reduces it's actual performance. :)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Megatr0n.:
I found my old 8GB MicroSDHC card (I think it's class 6), and popped it into my phone after formatting since it wasn't being used.

I notice that the phone now wakes much slower when I hit the power button and the battery is draining faster.

Is this normal? What new processes start running when you use an external memory card? Did I not do something that I should have done when I put the new SD card in?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TurboFool:
When you use an external card, on startup it runs a scan of it in addition to the internal one. Assuming you don't have much on there, though, it shouldn't take long.

Personally I've never run mine without an external card, so I can't say if any other aspect of startup is slower.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Megatr0n.:
I don't mean the scanning when you first boot it up, I know that's normal. I'm talking about after that, as in, when the screen turns off and you push the power button to turn it back on. I'm noticing that it takes a few seconds for the screen to turn on now as opposed to near instantly before I had the SD card.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wburbage:
I noticed that too but just got use to it. The only place where its still annoying to me is when I go to hang up a call and it takes a few seconds to come up with the "end" button. Other than that it's not a big deal.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Megatr0n.:
Ah, I can't get used to waiting a few seconds for the screen to turn on. It feels like I'm using a dumb phone. I don't need the extra storage space so I'd rather not use the SD card than wait longer to do simple things.

Thanks for the help.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kruxoli:
I've had three different SD cards in my E4GT and never experienced this issue.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Megatr0n.:
I confirmed that the issue exists with mines. I tested the time it takes for the screen to wake after pressing the power button with both the SD and without and found that the phone always took round 2-4 seconds longer to wake with the SD card in.

Perhaps there are other causes to this issue in conjunction with the SD card?

My setup is as follows:

ROM: Calk 2.6

Kernel: Stock EL13

Modem: EL13

Theme: Overstew's ICS theme
