[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] AugustusBot:
Glad to be of help.

As for your 'home screen' problems... I don't use the BN launcher, i use Go Launcher EX. One of the 4 quick buttons at the bottom of the launcher, I've replaced w/ the Library app... and that app gives you numerous options for how to display your books.

I have seen one small problem there, as I mentioned above, where my book covers are a little ... off... imagine a picture frame of 8x10, and you fit an 8.5x11 page into it, you lose a bit of the edges. This occurs for probably... 1/3 of my books displayed in the Library. Not sure why. When i click on that book, as it opens it shows me the full cover.

I'd love a fix for that and a method of displaying PDF covers.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] AugustusBot:
So i've discovered something about the cover distortion.

I had a cover (Book1) that looked good, and its dimensions were 329x500.

I had another cover (Book2) that distorted, and its dimensions were 283x500.

I manually resized the image for Book2 on my computer to be 329x500. When I reloaded that book onto my Nook and killed/reopened Library, the cover displayed correctly.

What's going on is that Library displays in a certain Width x Height. If an image is below that Width, it scales it up to that width, but maintains the aspect ratio of the image. This causes the Height of the image to be larger than the Height that Library displays, and therefore the bottom portion gets cut off.

I would love for someone with a book purchased from BN store to either A. find the cover jpg on their nook and tell me the dimensions, or B. load that book into Calibre and tell me the dimensions.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Faseeshuss:
Hi Folks. I recently bought the SGH-T989D from Telus and am enjoying it so far. I rooted it the other day and everything went well and worked. I rooted with SuperOneClick which worked. After that, I looked around for custom rom's and settled on the rooted, Telus stock one from Mr-X. I have tried a few custom kernels as well, currently using the .10 rev of the Synergy Kernel. I need to be able to lock my phone due to having my work e-mail on it. Prior to this phone, I was using a BB and it was not an issue. However, since rooting this phone, I cannot put a code or passphrase on this phone and have it unlock the phone. I have tried the simplest of 4 digit codes as well as more complicated ones and trying the same on pass phrases. Once a code is set and the phone is locked, I am unable to unlock it. I have tried it also without the phone becoming locked, just trying to disable it and I am unable to get the code I set within seconds to acknowledge. The first time I did it, I thought I forgot the code as I set it as I was distracted. I have replicated this on this rom, Juggernaut and another. It has stayed across 3 different kernels. Each time I have switched to a new mod, I have wiped everything including caches and started fresh to no avail. I have never been prompted to recover my passcode/phrase via Google despite trying to unlock it 65 times the first time it happened.

I have researched this extensively here in the forums and on the net in general and cannot find mention of this specific issue. If someone could point me in the right direction, I would be eternally gratefull. My questions are:

1. Is there a fix for this and is it a known issue (or something I have created on my own)

2. Is there a means of resetting the code or passphrase short of wiping the entire thing via CWM?

3.. It worked fine when I was completely stock. The forum topic for how to get back to complete stock has a dead link for the Telus stock rom/kernel. Does anyone have a link to this as I am open to returning to stock.

If I have missed this being discussed in another topic or forum, I apologize but I would like to fix this on an otherwise great phone.

Sincerely,

Faseeshuss
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] synaesthetic:
Okay so I just recently set up a VPN service to avoid T-Mobile's image compression proxy. It works flawlessly, nothing is compressed and everything is more secure.

Problem: every time my data connection drops, I have to manually log back into the VPN, manually enter the password, and it's a pain in the ass since I want to constantly use the VPN so that I don't ever have to deal with T-Mobile's image compression.

I'm using the baked-in VPN settings in CyanogenMod 7. Is there an app that will save the VPN username and password and auto-reconnect to the VPN if the data connection is lost and then re-connected?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Glasse:
As the title suggests, I need some help rooting phone. To answer some possible questions, the ZTE Score is a Cricket prepaid phone. The version is also 2.3.4.

Now that I got that out of the way, I am running into a lot of issues. Gimgerbreak doesn't work, sadly. It was still rooting after two hours. I'm trying to avoid using the pc because I do not have a USB cable for pc/phone interaction. So zergrush won't work for me due to no internet on the laptop(part of the justification of the root). Unless I can do it through an adhoc.

All the zergrush dl links do not work on my phone. The ones I found all fail as soon as it starts. Right now I am too stuborn to quit unrooted.

Any suggestions?

i want to buy an unlocked xoom 3G w/wifi but only if i'll be able to use the 3 g in france as well as here in the 'states. it LOOKS like sfr is going to be ok - but when ? and what about orange ? my french is shaky and so their sites don't help me . : (

any suggestions where to check ?

I'm guessing you will be buying a gsm Xoom from Europe? Because Orange is a gsm network.

The Xoom sold in the USA is cdma running on Verizon and will not run on gsm networks?

Is that what you are asking about? I'm a little confused bro!

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] vilasman:
I know that tapping the pen circle on the flyer allows you to select the notes app and start writing notes. With the notes app open I can rest my hand on the screen and write. Now what turns it off? To a be more specific I am worried that I will do something and loose the note. So is there anything that would make me loose the note?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kcchen:
Pen proximity to the screen. You can test by moving the "note page" as you bring the pen to the screen. At a few millimeters, the page stops moving...
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] ayushagnihotri:
Tap the pen on the screen once, then you can rest your palm on the screen while taking notes or doodling.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] devator22:
Also, it is actually quite difficult to delete notes. I tried to delete one yesterday that I had created on accident, and it took me a few minutes to figure out that "delete" is for saved notes, and that "remove" is for unsaved notes. Not particularly user friendly, but I guess it's good if you are worried about loosing something.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] oblivion0:
Hello,

I know this is little more than a pipe dream, but it would be fantastic if SENSEUI could somehow get ported to the ET4G.

I love this device's hardware and underlying physical technology (e.g. camera, clockspeed, ram capacity, onboard storage, etc).

....But TouchWiz is full of fail, IMO. It truly comes off as half baked and I think Samsung took too many judicious liberties with overhauling the base Android kernel. Additionally, their third party software like Kies really doesn't make much sense for someone coming from the more plug-n-play friendly HTC family.

Just a rant/thought.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] klyang88:
it's possible, but u i doubt that it'll happen. sense and Touchwiz are two very different UI and is a pain in the ass to port lol. i hardly think any devs would take a dive into it. But hey dont give up hope. maybe some dev might dive into it :D. and yeah the guy above me is 100% correct
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Will of fire:
We have cm7 just GPS and 4g don't work.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] phatmanxxl:
The only project I know about was someone was porting sense to the Nexus S, they got it to boot up but I don't know if any progress was made since.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Swamp Goblin ported a Sense ROM on the NS4G. He is looking to get an Epic Touch and plans on porting ROMs for us as well. He also ported a MotoBlur and International SGS2 ICS leak but that one still needs work. Hopefully he will be over here soon
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daneurysm:
You have a very strange definition of fantastic, lol.

Signed,

Former long-time HTC owner.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kenneu:
Sense rocks, but MOST of it can be re-created with some pay applications. Beautiful widgets, Fancy Widgets, and HD widgets are a start. Launcher Pro Plus has some cool widgets too.

That said, I'd much rather prefer that ALL manufacturers drop the skins and go AOSP stock launcher. If they want to bake in all sorts of widgets to define the experience, thats fine, but i want to be able to turn it off and run it as if it were completely stock android...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AndroidSPCS:
Agreed. HTC Sense on my HTC Evo 3D gave me the black screen of death. It's bloated and buggy.

I removed HTC Sense from my Evo devices and they ran so much better.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I have never owned an HTC device but those that tried the Sense port on the Nexus said it ran smoother than on Evo and looked better because of the AMOLED screen. It was smooth and fast for me but no 4g...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iBustCh3rries:
Why would you want sense? It slows your phone down sucks your battery and in some cases hides things that should be out in the open... Aosp ftw, and if that's not an option I will stick to twiz
[HTC Inspire 4G] toxicpaulution:
I'm looking for a launcher to use I am currently using adw but I tried go not a fan of either... I was hoping there was a launcher that let me place my icons and stuff without being on a grid... any ideas,
[HTC Inspire 4G] shugga101:
There is the Go Launcher and ADW Launcher like you said. Try LauncherPro or NovaLauncher. Just search the market for launchers. Or google. I think its all based on grid.
[HTC Inspire 4G] toxicpaulution:
I've been trying them all was hoping someone knew something 3rd party not based through the market :/
[HTC Inspire 4G] ahager88:
You can always use circle launcher for increased personalization.

[HTC Inspire 4G] mishtype:
My favorite right now is Launcher 7 from the market. Its simple, stylish and customizable. I'm running that on top of CM7 with an ICS theme, and haven't looked back.
[HTC Inspire 4G] toxicpaulution:
Where do you get themes for it I mean I've had It but wp7 never appealed to me
[HTC Inspire 4G] GuestK007:
I paid for adw launcher ex and love it. ive used launcher pro, go launcher and adw is my fave.
[HTC Inspire 4G] toxicpaulution:
I too am using ex but I'm a person who wants something different all the time and these are just getting boring :/
[HTC Inspire 4G] mishtype:
There are no themes for Launcher 7 as far as I know. It's basically 2 screens; the WP7 style tiled grid, and the application list to the right. What you can do though is use your own images as icons, so it doesn't necessarily have to be a colored tile with the white icon in the middle (the default setup). Using a transparent.png and some images you like you can bend it to your liking. The CM7 ICS theme just affects the highlight color when selecting an app from the list and some small color accents when hitting the soft menu.

Before I found Launcher 7 I was using Launcher Pro, so that would be my next vote, then ADW.

[HTC Inspire 4G] Enternal9:
Go Launcher EX is really good. I can't really think of any launcher not based on a grid but there are Circule Laucher that's not really a laucher but more of a "laucher" inside of a launcher. It look really good though. An alternative is WaveLauncher which is not bad either.

I still use zeam with miui. With the Suave HD miui theme and dark fade dock it's pretty nice looking IMO

[HTC Inspire 4G] msnailbanger:
I liked how you could change out the panels
[HTC Inspire 4G] automati:
I'll cast another vote for Launcher Pro Plus. I'm a big fan of its widgets. The calendar widget is very clean, minimal, and lets you toggle easily between month and list views. I have LPP running on CM7 and it's incredibly stable. It's also very customizable. You can't do away with the grid layout, but at least you can change rows/columns. It also has a super smooth vertical scrolling app drawer, if you're into that.
[HTC Inspire 4G] toxicpaulution:
I don't run widgets. Cost to much memory so I just keep it clean and simple. I only use one widget at a time :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] automati:
That being the case, you probably won't find much with LPP that you don't already have with ADW. Probably not worth it. I'm curious to see what others suggest, especially if there's anything that does away with the grid. Interesting idea.
[HTC Inspire 4G] toxicpaulution:
Yeah I'm hoping someone would be able to make a launcher that can make it so you can just place them anywhere :) I like things without limitation whenever I had my iPhone I had a gridlock which let me place things anywhere and I'm hoping to get something like that :) yes I love adw it doesn't consumenext to anything <3 Haha
[HTC Inspire 4G] :

Thanks for the rapid reply... I have tried it and its just seems bloated and not exactly what I am interested in :/ but thanks :) I look through the forums and everytime I see one someone mentions I download it and it just isn't what I want and or doesn't out do the adw ex :p but anymore suggestions ill take :) Haha

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] e.mote:
This came from the FCC teardown. I missed the antennae in my first look since they were only in the first pic, and pics are lo-res. But here you can see the wifi and GPS antennae mounted on the frontplate. These are located at the "top" of the Prime when held in landscape. (Pics have been sharpened.)

The left PCB has two antennae, one is labeled GPS, and presumably the other is the main wifi ant.

The right PCB has the aux wifi (wlan) ant for spatial diversity.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] PrimeTimeBro:
Are we saying the GPS has TWO aluminum shields covering it?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Wordlywisewiz:
Yep lmfao
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] RussianMenace:
No. The back cover is it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Mithent:
Now we've confirmed the GPS antenna is on the front of the device, all this about the aluminium backplate killing GPS performance does surprise me. GPS signals, naturally, come from the sky. Assuming you're not holding the Prime upside-down, there's no aluminium between the satellites and the antenna?

I suppose it could inhibit picking up reflected signals, but would that be the difference between it working and not working? (It doesn't really seem to be in the spirit of GPS, either...)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Beards:
Pick up too much reflected noise and it will swamp out the signal gain.
