I'm entirely new to android in general, what's EPD?

[Nook Touch Android Development] notriddle:
Honestly, apps for the NST can be developed with the standard Android SDK. That's how the apps in the Market are made.

And to make it friendly to the eInk display, just fill the screen with black if you think ghosting will be a problem, turn off animations, make it black-on-white, and try to avoid changing the entire screen when just changing part of it will do.
[Nook Touch Android Development] ApokrifX:
True, unless you want to develop for NST specifically, like handling EPD partial refresh.
[Nook Touch Android Development] Dopedangel:
Coolreader app is an opensource app supports partial screen refresh on nook touch you can look at its source to see how it goes about partial screen refresh etc

http://sourceforge.net/projects/crengine/
[Nook Touch Android Development] notriddle:
Partial refresh is done entirely based on how much of the screen changes. If you don't change too much of the screen's content, it'll do a partial refresh.

Instructions on how to change that threshold can be found on this forum.
[Nook Touch Android Development] ApokrifX:
Guys,

Sorry for noob question:

Do I need to “root” NC emulator from B&N SDK somehow?

I’m fiddling with app to modify "internal.db" database.

On open it throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: File /data/data/com.android.providers.media/databases/internal.db contains a path separator

Tried to request root access:

Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("su");

It neither throw nor fix the error.

Nook MediaProvider lets add/remove/update records in some tables, but is no access to execSQL() obviously... :o
[Nook Touch Android Development] ApokrifX:
Installed terminal on NC emulator (mt262.apk)

Run:

su

su: uid 10034 not allowed to su

It didn’t even ask if I want to allow it. :confused:

How do I turn on prompting (or root emulator)?

On my rooted NST if I do the same, I get Toast message:

terminal granted su access

Hi guys,

Fiddled with my LCD density settings without a backup (stupid, i know) and no I can;t get my screen to look as it's supposed to be. Can any of you help me with a clean, un-edited build.prop file from an LG Optimus Sol?

How do you turn the screen on and off? Since I don't see you having access to the power button. Do you rely on it to wake up from charge on/off?
[Kindle Fire General] hggadm3:
I gutted a momentary button switch to push in that barely grazes the button, but I will come up with something. I've been studying the internals, so what I'm thinking is hard wiring the tablet to my remote wire so the radio controls it being on. Also I plan on hard wiring the charger to work off the accessory wire to turn the tab on and off.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] southusc:
Ok I have looked at thread after thread and saw some similar issues but no real solution that has worked for me. Long story short, my brother tried updating his SGS4G and "says" the cable came out during update. Basically phone was stuck in communication with pc screen. After tons of trial and error button combos, jig, etc. I was about to give up as I couldn't get it into download mode. Well got bored so tried again and somehow got Odin to recognize the phone and started to flash the K1. Unfortunately, it failed before completing and now I can get the phone into DL mode but Odin nor the PC will recognize it. It sort of boot loops a couple times then loads up to home screen for a few seconds during media scanning then trips right back to Galaxy S 4g screen and starts the boot loop deal over again. I was able to check before it cut off and it has unknown baseband. Is there any other way to get Odin to recognize while in download? I have done all the steps then plug in phone etc. Odin just sits there and PC said usb not recognized. Tried 3 different PCs with XP, Linux, and Win 7. Is the baseband the issue for getting it recognized now? If I can ever get Odin to recognize I was hoping to manage a full backup to stock and then worry about the baseband issues but for now I am stuck and would have pulled all my hair out by now but I am bald. Any advice or pointing in the right direction would be great.

Edit: Thanks for the help. After tons of attempts I got Heimdall to recognize and got it flashed back to stock.. Still isn't recognizing all the time but hopefully it will enough to allow me to root it before I give it back to him. Thanks again I read and read and tried all sorts of stuff multiple times.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
If you can get into download mode. Just start ODIN whether it recognizes phone or not and see what happens. And double check your settings are correct in ODIN. Make sure u have latest version as well. Or try Heimdall.

EDIT: Go ahead and tell us whether you were on FROYO or GB. And why were you flashing K1? And what is K1? KC1?

Are you using FB's GB Ext4 Starter Pack?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] champ1919:
Odin can sometimes be a pain. If the computer gives you the "un recognized device" keep trying. Tried different cable and USB port and reinstalling drives and such? Lots of others have had luck using the one click.. Heimdel package. But, I'm an Odin fan... If you get any sign of life from PC while it loops, that's a start.

if you have adb loaded, have you tired to spam the reboot download command while the phone loops?? Its another way to see if it does/can get into download mode..

App Backup and Restore Backup Path

Installed app.

Opened settings.

Changed "Backup Path" to /mnt/exe_sdcard/App_Backup_Restore.

Backed up all apps.

App made folder in ext_sdcard which then contained all the backup files.

Re-booted device.

Opened settings.

Backup Path had reverted to original path: /storage/emulated/0/App_Backup_Restore

What am I doing wrong please?

try to flash it without battery inserted. Just put your flash file into sd-card, put it into phone, pull out the battery hold "+" and "-" and at the same time insert usb cable. Wait until upgrade process starts. Thats it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stupidslow02gt:
I cant decide on whether or not I want to load a custom rom on this phone!

I know this is XDA and everyone will say GO CUTSOM of course, but this is the first device I actually havent considered it. I feel like with every android phone Ive owned

And the hundreds of ROMs Ive used, Ive always experienced negatives that have come along with the positives that a custom ROM brings.

For example ill load up a ROM and it will come with the "best" kernel available, which turns out to cause 69% Android OS drain by the end of the day. Or from searching around here the custom ROM will cause shutter lag or other snall annoying things that I wouldnt be able to tolerate. I just dont know if the trade off is worth it this time as stock ICS works wonderfly for me.

I am however very interested in the 4.0.3 ROMs (even though I have no clue what 4.0.3 offers over 4.0.2) and the best kernel (lean) overclocks, undervolts, AND OC the gpu which i think are all awesome benefits.

Then I go search around about lean and find out that some people are experiencing lag.... Its like why go through all the trouble if im going to get 5 benefits as well as 4 negatives? AND cant get OTA.

Im just wondering if there is anyone out there (not you flashaholics) that feel it is better to stay stock this time around to live in peace so to say lol Your thoughts would be appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] simms22:
try stock, try custom.. then let us know whats best for you. choice, my friend, is a wonderful thing :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] frow86:
it wont hurt anything to try a custom rom, you can always go back to stock
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stupidslow02gt:
Have you guys tried the Gummy ROM or lean kernel? Any tips to avoid any of the problems I mentioned such as shutter lag or UI lag?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Laird_Attwood:
I had this issue with the GNEX. I have kept it stock so far. Unlocked bootloader, rooted and made a few UI changes and a differnt kernal.

I'm happy with it for now. Who knows what future will hold.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ranova:
did the stock thing (with a few root mods like battery, menu button, brightness) for a couple months, then loaded up AOKP + leankernel and love the customization and battery life

will not go back to stock
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EP2008:
If your device does what you want it to RIGHT NOW, then stay stock. If there are features that you want and only a custom rom can provide, then try a ROM, but be aware that custom kernels and ROMS can break some functions on your phone.

I was using CM7 on my previous android phone and lost the ability to receive voicemail notifications because of it.

Decide if you need "more", but accept any risks that come up because of it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DaF1974:
I suggest you try out AOKP ROM for the additional features and GUI settings. I also use franco. kernel for superior battery life and a noticeable speed increase.

It's a fantastic combo.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] animaleyes76:
+1 for aokp + franco , they are awesome.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stupidslow02gt:
Excuse my noobyness but isnt AOKP just a stock untouched firmware? Or is that AOSP.

Just looked up the franco kernel and have read nothing but good things.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] offenberg:
Nadroid - flash = see for yourself. I also recommend AOKP M3. And stock has bugs also. The only ROM that ever rebooted on me, was stock. So. Nothing is perfect :) that is why we like to change everything.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
I'm using stock still, but rooted and using a modified status bar transparent. I plan to switch to custom but just taking my time. You can easily just nand backup your stock rom, flash custom for testing, then restore your stock backup if need be. There are lots of enhancements in the custom roms that is worthwhile.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] InsaneNutter:
I only got my Galaxy Nexus yesterday, however i think the stock rom is great to be honest.

There was always some problem with custom roms on the Desire.

If i was going to use a custom rom on my Galaxy Nexus i would wait for the stable release of CM9 or MIUI (if there ever is a stable one).

For now stock is fine for me personally, only thing i really miss is all the settings in the notification tray, but rooted stock is working perfect for me and its nice to have a perfectly working phone for once :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sillverdj:
well well.. flashing phones like samsung jet, omnia II, galaxy s, wave or htc touch diamond or sensation was my life..till i met the sony xperia s.. Now its too hard to decide what to do. Stay on stock or flash the new roms, kernels, mods..again and again. I am on stock now because of few lags..I hadnt expected. I am not gonna explain what was it but I wanna have fully function device on my own and that is why I made the decision to sty on stock. And of course I am still waiting for original upgrade. That is my opinion.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WiredPirate:
I know what you mean. I kept mine stock for months, which is longer than any other phone I've had. But I finally bit the bullet and went custom and I'm glad I did. You just gotta try for your self and see which you prefer.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
+1

after doing whatever you want to your phone, if youre not going to flash anything, relock bootloader

A(ndroid)O(pen)S(ource)P(roject).

A(ndroid)O(pen)K(kang)P(project) is a custom rom by TeamKang, based on AOSP releases from Google.

Search tags: kang, aosp, source.android.com

@OP, i say just go with whatever you feel is working for you. If you feel stock is better, stick with it. I run my nexus bone stock (even with stock recovery, i use fastboot to boot cwm once, flash zip with a different font, just tired of roboto) from time to time, to get a grip of how things are going with official releases. I have no issues.

And there's no more Android OS bug. Use better battery stats (here in xda) to see whats causing wakelocks, which drains battery more than usual. If you have lte device you'll have considerably worse runtime on battery, if you on gsm then you'll get around 1d15h with 3h40 screen on with stock, when all is optimal. Lets face it, current battery technology blows.

Read a lot before flashing anything, till the point you are able to help others when they face issues without having really tested it yourself, to know possible advantages/disadvantages of x software/mod, if its user error, apps, or custom rom, or stock.

This is android as its supposed to be, some have even got bored of how easy it gets to play with this device.

Hey thanks for reviving a 3 month old thread to talk about your Sony phone in the nexus forum LOL

Also I would like to point out that I went AOKP then CM9 then LS all with the Franco kernel and wouldn't think about going back to stock. I would consider the phone unusable compared to what it is now lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
Yea LiquidSmooth is what I'm running on. Very fast and loads of features while being easy on the battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Everyone claims their 'insert rom' is easier on battery, but with the exception of those who have actively coded something like AOKP's battery saver, or BAMF Paradigm's tasker support in their LTE widget, its a bunch of BS.

Someone please show me, aside from the above, source code for a rom that saves battery. I'll settle for a github commit.

Most battery savings will come from lack of bugs that cause resource leaks and wake locks, or kernels.

All these claims are ranking right up there with statements like "deodexed for performance" or "ribbed for her pleasure".
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonnyg1097:
I did flash a rom early on (Apex I believe it was) and I forget the reasoning behind me going back to stock but I am completely happy with staying on stock (& rooted) yakju. I will probably go to a rom sometime again in the future but for now I am good.

The good thing about flashing stock is that it is so easy to do it with fastboot so at any time you arent happy with roms you can just go back to stock.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jzero88:
Boot Manager. You can try ROM side by side and keep your original from without having to go back and forth.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stupidslow02gt:
Battery savings come from the kernel, not the ROM. If a ROM is pre loaded with a really good kernel, then that's where the perception is coming from. Some ROMs however are quicker or snappier than others.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Serious_Beans:
If you want to stay stock and don't care about customization go for something like Android Revolution HD, everything about it is pretty much stuck except for under the hood improvements. It looks exactly like stock, no widgets, nothing. It's definitely got better battery life than stock and using it with Franco's Nightlies makes it PERFECT :).

On my 3D though, I don't know if it's the case I have the wraps around the bezel a bit but I can't type for **** with the GB keyboard. I can't hit the space bar, always end up hitting b or a period. The HTC IME without arrows is best for me on the 3D.
