[Nook Color General] Velvis:
Thank you for the tips. I just want to clarify:

1.4.1 downloaded from B&N is the one I want to install manually? I too had heard that the latest version prevents sideloading and 1.4.1 looks to be the latest, so I wasnt sure I should install that one.

or is there a newer OTA update to 1.4.1 that prevents it?

Again thanks for your time.
[Nook Color General] bobstro:
I don't really know what broke sideloading. I do know that my Quick Settings->Settings->Device Info->About Your NOOKcolor shows Software Version 1.4.1, and I can sideload. I downloaded that version here, though I can't guarantee it's the same. I've blocked updates, and haven't had any problems.

I'll do an MD5 checksum on what they're offering versus my version later and let you know it it's changed.
[Nook Color General] Velvis:
Thanks. From my search on the web 1.4.1 breaks sideloading.

Question: Can earlier versions (1.3, 1.01, etc.) always be installed regardless of current version? (IE can I go from 1.4.1 to 1.3?)
[Nook Color General] edwardarroyo:
When I try to install the Kindle Reading App on my Nook Color ("Blue Dot" & software version 1.4.1) running Cyanogenmod 7.0.3-encore Android 2.3.3 Build GR140 from a microSD card, or on my Nook Color running Honeycomb3.0 from microSD card, I get the message "Your device is not compatible with this item." (i.e., the Kindle app). Searching around the internet, I found one suggestion that if I changed the screen resolution the app would be compatible, but I haven't been able to get this to work. Any advice?”

I, too, would like to know if we can downgrade from 1.4.1 to 1.3? And, if yes, where do we find the earlier versions, ie 1.3 and even 1.2? Thanks.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Kyrax12:
I did a lot of reading onto the Samsung Galaxy SII and I found that for the first few weeks I want to try out the stock rom with no changes.

One of the reasons why I wanted to root the phone was because of the notorious bloatware that ATT/samsung put on their phones. Like the AP mobile widget which many people have reported to suck data/battery out of their phone and have cause wakelock issues.

How efficient would the phone be if I simply rooted and freeze or delete the bloatware?

Would it increase my battery life significantly?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Dave7:
battery life comparisons with other users can't be made...there is just no good baseline.

Just make the changes and see what works for you. Id recommend looking at the removed bloat list in some of the custom ROM threads as a starting point.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Kyrax12:
How come rooting a custom rom increase the quadrant score?

What is responsible for massive slow down on stock?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Dave7:
My understanding is that quadrant scores are good for internet pissing contests, and nothing more....I don't trust them so I don't use them.

I had mine rooted in less than an hour after I got home with it, so I don't even have a subjective comparison. If there was a reliable objective standard is like to know about it.

Mine has never seemed "slow", rooted stock or otherwise
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Because Quadrant is a steaming turd that varies by at least 800+ points from run to run and doesn't give you a breakdown of individual subsystem (CPU, GPU, memory, filesystem, etc.) scores.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 424aca:
Well i own a nook tablet. and i was wondering if i could install a nook color rom without causing any trouble with by device since the nook tablet devs are kind of .....slow. But i should not say anything cuz i probably don't know 1/1000 of the things they know.

but anyway, will it work.

hint:i want to install the regular cyanogen mod but it says nook color. not tablet

also if you could give me a link on how(not mandatory)

thankyou
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobstro:
For now at least, the most you can do is root your Nook Tablet. It is not the same as the Nook Color, and the bootloader is locked, which limits what can be booted, unlike on the NC. I bought my wife a NT and spent weeks working on this very same issue. You can do quite a bit with it, and it's very nice hardware, but it's not the hacker's toy the NC is. Your biggest issue will likely be the inability to use APPS2SD to free up space, thought you can load all the content you want on it.

EDIT: Where you really want to be asking questions are in the Nook Tablet forums. This is a good starting place.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koopakid08:
No... why would that ever work?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disynthetic:
@424aca 'fraid it isn't that simple. The hardware profile is similar on the outside, but not on the inside of the tablet.

And the devs are slow because a lot of the buzz about the NT is gone now, seeing as the NT is nowhere near as hackable as the NC is.

Basically it's locked down to prevent any serious hacking, and any workarounds possible have not been discovered due to the immense difficulty of doing so.

Hi guys,

I have rooted my kindle fire with burritoroot and i got the market to work with openmarket. I am able to log in successfully and hit install on several apps. They sit at download starting. I have rebooted several times. Any ideas on a fix. I have also tried the web store and the same result.

Thanks
[Kindle Fire General] chuckado:
Update, I have also tried it at work and I am still getting the same problem with the download just sitting at starting download.
[Kindle Fire General] krelvinaz:
Go to applications, and select the market. Then clear Data.

Try it again.
[Kindle Fire General] chuckado:
I tried this and still the same result, I also went on my home router and forwarded port 5228 because I read on several sites that is the port that the android market uses.
[Kindle Fire General] krelvinaz:
I use many android devices in the same site without having to forward anything. I doubt that is your issue.
[Kindle Fire General] chuckado:
Ok, I was just trying to rule out anything on the my network end while trying to troubleshoot the device.
[Kindle Fire General] chuckado:
Would i be able to download apps from the android market on my computer and transfer them to my fire?
[Kindle Fire General] chuckado:
I am going to try putting the google talk app on the fire and seeing if i can sign in to see if that fixes the issue. I have read in many places that it fixes it for many android phones.

You may be using an older version of the market. The instrucions say to use vending.apk, but I actually ended up having to use com.amarket.apk. A lot of people were having this issue. Repeat the data/cache wipe after installing the new one.

Yes, or just pull them from your phone. Dropbox is very handy for sideloading apps. Just make sure you have installation of unknown sources enabled under Settings>More>Device :)

I see you're new to the forums. Please remember to use the search as often as possible. I know there is a lot of stuff to sift through, but creating threads for questions that have answers readily available makes it that much harder to find substantive info. Plus you'll miss out on all the fun of trial and error. ;)

should i uninstall market opener and vending.apk before i install the the other market app?
[Kindle Fire General] deanp0219:
Do you have DroidWall installed by any chance?
[Kindle Fire General] chuckado:
I do not have that installed. The only apps that I have installed are root explorer super user vending googleserviceframework and market opener
[Kindle Fire General] deanp0219:
Oh ok I was going to suggest turning off the firewall to download but nevermind. Its almost definitely the vending.apk vs com.amarket.apk issue. I had a similar problem. Also, for some reason File Expert would not keep the permissions changed when I changed them. I sideloaded Root Explorer and it worked like a charm. Good luck getting it working.

[Off-topic] secondfate:
So this is obviously super off topic, but as I am a major nub and have received so much awesome help from this website, I wondered what the community had to say about this idea.

Currently I own a dell studio xps 1640, which is a very 'ok' laptop. It turns on, turns off and attempts to do things in-between. What I was wondering is if I could take out the internal parts from the body of the laptop, put them in a custom built case with improved cooling, overclock the graphics card/ cpu, and use it like a desktop. The laptop has a core 2 duo at 2.4 Ghz and a mobility 3670 Raedon dedicated graphics card.

What are ya'lls thoughts?

thank you guys for the replys expecially around X-mas. I updated to CM& and everything worked fine but it kept telling me that it was in roaming mode so I tried to flash the ugkg3 modem with ODIN, placed it under PHONE woth nothing else selected. BUt it soft bricked my phone, So I tried Milkys 1.3 but I got the same roaming problem, I didnt try to updated the modem those. Because of the roaming problem I flashed stock froyo and speedmod-kernel-k13c-500hz.tar and lag fix worked with 1300 quadrant scores. I wish I knew how to flash the ugkg3 modem properly because CM7 and Milky 1.3 gave me quadrant scores of over 2000. If anyone has free time to give me instructions on modem flashing I would reallly apreciate it. or is there an overclock for froyo that will still keep my lagfix?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vanisleryan:
I haven't used cm7 much but I'm pretty sure you have to flash the modem for cm7 as a zip in cwm.

For a few days now I've been trying to set up a build environment to compile (for starters) the stock kernel on my own.

I'm using Ubuntu 11.10 x64 and have tried to build an ARM EABI capable GCC using

vorkChain script

Linaro GCC

without success. Everytime the compilation process aborts with either libstdc++ missing ('/bin/bash: line 3: cd: arm-eabi/libstdc++-v3: No such file or directory') or some error with the strip command.

I'm now trying to get running with the sourcery toolchain but I'm unsure if that's the right direction or if it's just compiling a Tegra2-compatible but not optimized code.

Thanks for the hints. I had a look at both but unfortunately they are targeted at CM7 builds which have a specific and defined environment/structure, use loads of scripts to set up all requirements and would require me to download several GBs (~20GB?) just to begin working. Furthermore the guides require me to flash CM7 on my phone as at one step they extract propietary stuff from the phone to have a successful build. That's not exactly what I'm looking for.

What I'm looking for is a description on how to set up the compiler (+dependencies) environment which allows me just to build the official kernel on my own. I tried to get some hints out of the CM scripts but with no luck. All my searches in the forum also have been not successful.

Maybe someone more experienced than me can give me some info or hints on topics which could help me with my search?
