[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ms_guy99:
It's been ages since I rooted anything and find it hard for me to get back on board with everything/lingo/acronyms..etc! (ok did use autonooter back in the day but reverted back to stock and changed to dual boot with CM7 on SD card). I use the BN Read to Me capability with the kids.

I have a few questions.

1. How can I determine what version CM7 I have? I am assuming it is 7.0.3 based on the below information I get from it (and sorry can't remember when I made the SD card)

*version CM7 07022011 nightly encore

*Android 2.3.4

*Kernel 2.6.32.9 erik@myhost #103

2. If I have 7.0.3, is there really any purpose for 7.1.0? I use my NC for web browsing, reading, some games, and hopefully some basic video watching. I read the change log but most of it went over my head---I didn't think I saw anything critical for Common or Encore but I could have missed something. I am patient enough to wait for a stable CM9 with ICS but just need issue #3 resolved since everything else is working fine!

3. Back when I made the SD card Netflix was not working....I didn't care as I was a Blockbuster user....but now I have made the switch and would like it. I tried to get it from the market but it tells me my device isn't compatible for the application. Can someone tell me how to get it? I tried searching but most of the results came up regarding the recent BN update. ***ok...got this one fixed***

4. And lastly, if I boot using EMMC my NC automatically will update to the BN 4.1.0 version right? If so will this mess up my dual booting? I tried to find answers to this but after trying various search strings I never found a clear answer. I am almost positivethe answer to the first question is yes, but my real concern is the second question. I do not want to block the update as I would actually like to have some of the new features...especially since I am a fan of Marvel comics....

5. Ok...lastly...lastly....I know I can switch where NC boots from with pressing the n button, but sometimes I forget how..or miss it and have to reboot...are there any options out there to just have it ask you what you want when you reboot/restart/power on? Not when coming out of sleep...I understand that is not possible.

TIA!!!

1. How can I determine what version CM7 I have?

Open up CM7, go to Settings/About Tablet/Mod Version

2. If I have 7.0.3, is there really any purpose for 7.1.0?

If you're ok with battery life, and everything works, probably not. I'm still on 7.0.2, waiting either for ICS or 7.2 final (it's at RC status). There may be some annoyances and things that would invovle a lot of work (HBO Go, for example) that might be easier in 7.2, but there are other things like the Sleep of Death (should be fixed in 7.2) that showed up in the 7.1 stable/nightly releases.

3...you have it fixed, but I'm still using this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1078123&highlight=netflix to avoid the "device not compatible" problem. Then again, I'm on an old CM7 :)

4. Really depends on how you root. I think using CWL blocks the update, so you'd probably have to remove that, but I'll defer to those who root (I boot from SD for CM7).

5. I think that's fixed in the later version (7.2 RC), but if you want to stay for now on 7.0.3, check out this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=962708

Also, this thread really is useful...it's a long one now, but lots of information here (it's the method I've used to dual boot CM7): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1000957

I am curently running my nooks eemc as stock for reading and is upgraded to 1.4.1 non rooted to keep the warrenty going, and i have setup two sd cards. The first is a 16gb, set up with cm7 nightly 253. Runs stable and have netflix working great with the market app. the 2nd is an 8gb sd and is set up the dualboot cm7 and cm9 you can get from development section. cm9 runs ok but video is not working yet with this rom yet.
[HTC Amaze 4G] BialyMurzyn:
I'm not really sure I understand and maybe someone can help me to, but the appeal of CWM to me was the ability to flash a ROM without needing a PC. However, most of the ROM's in the dev section say that a kernel flash is required and the utility requires a PC. The appeal of being able to flash a new ROM at any time is lost since I need to wait until I'm at home with my PC. If a kernel flash at the PC is required for most ROM's then why CWM at that point?

I'm realizing as I write this that the answer is likely that it's easier for a noob than adb. I still ask the question in the event there is something else I'm missing.

Also, before I get 30 hypersensitive replies about not appreciating the devs work and I should dev something myself if I don't like it please know that this is not intended to criticize the work of the devs. I'd just like to know if there is something I'm missing or maybe that I'm misunderstanding that a kernel flash is required when I read the releases.
[HTC Amaze 4G] antiquezip:
Yes! You missed this thread
[HTC Amaze 4G] rbaruch:
All the latest roms are using Faux kernel anyways, Flash once, and then you can use CWM to flash any multiple roms you want
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
The

ONLY

time you

NEED

to flash a seperate kernel is when going to a totally different build. Examples:

Sense 3.0 to Sense 3.5

Sense 3.5 to Sense 3.0

ICS to Sense 3.0

ICS to Sense 3.5

Sense 3.0 to ICS

ICS to Sense 3.5

...etc

Other than that the kernel that you use is still pretty much stock.
[HTC Amaze 4G] BialyMurzyn:
This is true, but each successive release says that a kernel update is needed. I am assuming that this includes not only those freshly flashing the ROM, but also those flashing from a ROM's previous version. Are they incompatible from version to version? Basically, if I'm bored while out and wanted to flash a ROM then flash the kernel later are there risks?

This looks great! Since T-Mobile just throttled my data for the remainder of my billing cycle I will have to follow the thread and then give it a try later when I have WiFi. Thanks for the link.
[HTC Amaze 4G] BialyMurzyn:
Thanks Binary. That makes sense. No pun intended. So then the boot.img a dev includes with the packaged ROM is more or less a suggested kernel to best optimize their ROM and not that there are features of a ROM that will not work?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
That depends on the kernel that the developer includes.

If it's a faux edition then there are a few tweaks however it's still stock.

All features should be accessable in the rom as long as you are using an unsecured kernel.

There is more to being a developer ...

Than just knowing how to code.

One of the things that worry me the most about the android community is that it doesn't follow the usual guidelines you see in the rest of the Free Software community. As someone that has been developing Free Software for eons, I can tell you that the method used in XDA doesn't work. We have a lot of divas working on their own, with a closed mindset.

Before you start developing, learn to work in a team. Find a team of developers, and start helping them. Start as a beta tester, then learn as you go, and start making small contributions. You will eventually learn all you need, and it'll be much better than just trying to make "your own rom".

[Optimus One, P500, V General] adam79:
The connector for my SD card broke and the warranty doesn't cover this for some reason. Every app I have is setup to store to the SD card, and there is never an option in the settings to switch over to internal phone storage. Is there some kind of App or hack that enables internal phone storage?

The main thing I want is the ability to save voice recordings this way. If there is an App that allows you to do this, please tell.

Thanks,

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] submandingo:
I am caught in a bootloop and can't figure out what to do. I can get into the fast boot but when I try to restore or install a new rom, it goes back into bootloop showing the htc logo.

The background information is that I had rooted and installed a custom when I got it then didnt use it much for the last 6 months. When I started using it again I wanted to update the rom but was having problems getting it to load so I decided to load the original rom thinking I would start ovter again from scratch. seemed to work I updated via the OTA to two versions of GB but when I installed the HC update it stuck on the HTC screen. I havent been able to get it to do anything since.

Any help would be appreciated.

So you tried to install the ota on rooted s off device. That was your issue. You likely have a miss match of hboot and system.

Get into hboot and tell us what it says up top. Version and if it says s off or on

here is a picture of the screen.

thanks for the reply
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mcord11758:
I believe all you have to do is follow the steps from this thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1358758

you already have a s off gingerbread hboot. I would power down and charge your device for a couple of hours before attempting. I think you should be able to fastboot flash the approriate package and or run the appropriate ruu and it will ultimatley replace the gb hboot with a hc hboot and flash the remainder of the system.

your problem as I mentioned is that the s off gb hboot could not be over writen by the ota update and so you are in a sittuation where your hboot does not match your system and radio. Before attempting it you may want to post your sittuation in the thread. Globatron is very active and usually quick to repsond. Just be concise with what you did to get to your state
[Nokia Lumia 800] Casey_boy:
Anyone else noticing screen judder on their Lumia 800? I'm specifically referring to, for example, the screen jumping up and down a little whilst my finger is completely stationary on a list - such as the People feed.

It was present before the 8107 update and still present since (though it does seem to have been reduced).

Wondering if it's a firmware issue (my Omnia doesn't do it, so it's not a software issue) or hardware.

[Nokia Lumia 800] tjramage:
I have exactly the same issue. Is it not meant to be like that then? Does this class the phone as being defective?

It wasn't as bas for me pre-8107. Now that I've updated, it's a lot worse...

Lol. I'm pretty sure it's not meant to be like that, no. I don't know whether the phones are defective or whether there's a bug in the firmware.

Weird. After a hard reset (hold down power button for 10+ seconds) it's not happening to me anymore. I can keep my finger pressed down on the screen and everything stays still.

You should try it. May work for you...
[Nokia Lumia 800] Tito662:
Nope that's because your device is hot. The colder the device /screen (and finger) is, the more pronounced is the issue. It's an electric (grounding) issue.
[Nokia Lumia 800] Rusty!:
Mine only does it when it's plugged to the mains.
[Nokia Lumia 800] tim.snoek:
I also had it with my HTC HD2 with Windows Phone 7.5... I think it is a grounding problem, and the OS that is very sensitive to this sensor \ electrical system.
[Nokia Lumia 800] Casey_boy:
From those links it seems that a HTC phone had the same issue and that HTC were able to reduce the effect with a firmware update - so let's hope the same is true here.

[Captivate Themes and Apps] cumanzor:
Or you can just remove the assertions from the update scripts. It seems to work, but it messes up some framework assets, as I was expecting, see the screenshots.

I'll see if I can the file from our build, decompile, make the changes and then recompile but I'm pretty new at this stuff. For instance.... do I have to sign the file to be able to use it, and how do I do that?

and yes, it works beautifully. having the app switcher just one tap away makes this a true multi tasking device to me. You will lose this button functionality though, so if you depend on it this won't work for you.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MMcCraryNJ:
I've found that most developers are pretty good with updating their apps for new versions. Right before the Galaxy Nexus came out I remember my phone/tablet grabbing tons of updates, and usually the update notes would say "Android 4.0 compatibility added".

But there are some developers who have either abandoned their apps completely, or just don't see the need to invest in keeping their apps updated and in tip-top shape. It's a shame, because I feel a lot of them are primarily interested in iOS, and ported their stuff over because of the demand for Android versions, but then don't really think investing their time into the Android version is worth their while.

All a part of the ecosystem I guess. Good thing about Android is that if an app isn't coded to work properly or gets abandoned, there are usually quite a few alternatives.

No 4G doesn't bother me because I don't have coverage and I love how sexy the Rom is and how smooth it runs. Didn't have any issues till last night.

I already posted on the bug link in warm 2.3 op, but no answer yet.

[HTC EVO 3D] P0ll0L0c0:
I've seen others comment on the 64GB (and up?) microsdxc cards working on the Evo3D but figured there were no details.

Periodically on Best Buy - the Sandisk Class 6 64gb card has gone on sale for $100. I ended up biting and installed it in my Evo3D this week. Initially - the card registers as being "damaged" in the operating system. But tapping on the notice gives you the option to format the card, and you just have to be persistent - eventually the card will format and be fully functional.

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/searchp...p=&qp=&list=n&iht=y&usc=All+Categories&ks=960

I figured I'd comment on the speed. I was previously using a 32GB PNY Class 10 memory card which was not living up to it's speed rating. Using SD tools - the card would only write at 7 megs/second. Which was consistent with other user reports - but still disappointing.

I'd heard that Sandisk has a habit of underrating their cards - so I hoped this class 6 might actually exceed the speed of the PNY card. I would be disappointed. SD tools consistently reports the write speed of this card at 5.5MB/S.

That said - I'm happy with my purchase. I'm very pleased with the additional storage this card gives me and I've yet to see any downfall to the speed of the card - except for the few times I transfer large amounts of content at once. This card is storing my full 23 GB music collection - and still has room for a ton of HD video and games. For anyone curious - this card plays 1080P sample videos flawlessly while using Diceplayer.
[HTC EVO 3D] bagelicious:
I'll keep looking to see if they go on sale any time soon. If they hit the $100 mark, can you post a reminder here for us? (If you happen to see it)

Thanks for the great info!
[HTC EVO 3D] P0ll0L0c0:
Will do. I'm curious if our phone will be capable of accessing even larger cards. I'm also hopeful that ICS will allow us to more easily format the card EXFAT so we can have HD files above 4GB. My cheap Chinese Android tablet can easily handle NTFS - so I wish it were possible on the phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] bagelicious:
Hmm that hadn't even occurred to me yet, but I agree. That would be a great bonus with ICS!

Also, do they even make cards larger than that yet? I'm on my phone so can't search all that well until I get home. (promise I'm not that lazy lol)
[HTC EVO 3D] P0ll0L0c0:
You probably already got home and researched it, but they don't yet make micro SD cards that big yet, but the theoretical max for microsdxc is 2TB. :-) I'm just pleasantly surprised that our phone can handle the new format.

[HTC EVO 3D] mnomaanw:
It can read it man.....its already been tested when kingmax launched world 1st 64gb sdxc. Evo 3d will format it to a different format i guess.

[HTC EVO 3D] P0ll0L0c0:
Sorry I didn't report it out . . . I didn't want to be responsible in case our phone didn't work with the card. If it pops up on sale again (it's happened twice since Christmas) - I'll post.

The compatibility issue was just that the card came in formatted EXFAT. Formatting to FAT32 fixed the issue right away. I really wish a future kernel or firmware would allow EXFAT support - so files larger than 4GB could be played. I have a cheap chinese tablet that handles EXFAT and NTFS no problem.

NTFS most definitely could.
[HTC EVO 3D] P0ll0L0c0:
That's the same card, yes. It's gone on sale for $100 a couple of times on Bestbuy this year - hence the reason for this thread.

There is another one who fell for the 10 rating. PNY also makes a card specifically for smartphones. It is same price as the 10. I get about 18 write high 20 read. SanDisk you can look for about 6 write12 or so read but they hold up good from what I'm told. Personally I think PNY makes best card now but a lot new ones will be out within year. I'd like to try Samsung when it arrives. Everyone will be using cloud or some type online storage soon. I'd say there won't be much use for bigger cards but wtf do I know? Just guess......
