[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BuckAv:
I am far from an expert with this stuff, but since I can read and follow basic instructions, I was able to root the Nook Color (from stock 1.3) that I got several months ago. But, now I had the 1.4.1 update pushed through and root is been broken.

The thing is that I am happy with everything that is there, and I don't feel like I need to get the market back because all of the apps I have loaded before work, I just can't get to them. The "home screen" (sorry if that isn't the right word) I had been using only loads when I start up, and now when I press "n" it takes me back to the B&N stock home screen. Is there a way I can change this so I can make it go back to the screen I had been using with root, instead of having to restart everytime I want to get to it? Or, will I have to go through the trouble of re-rooting and reloading all of my apps?

I hope my question makes sense and I thank you for taking the time with someone who is not an expert on this stuff...
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobstro:
I've posted a howto with everything I know about rooting 1.4.1. The community here at XDA is fantastic, and they've made doing this much easier.

The key to happy rooting is to disable automatic OTA updates. There are instructions for doing this in the howto. Don't update until you're sure root and 3rd party apps are available.

If you're really happy with it the way it is, and just want a way to get to the Android launcher, you can install Button Savior, Virtual Button Bar or something equivalent to give you the Android buttons on-screen along one edge, including a Home key. Be sure to set the Android launcher you use as your default home.

Alternately, you could use Folder Organizer and put a shortcut to your launcher in the Notifications group and turn on that feature.

Of course, now you need to figure out HOW to load one of these! :) Sideloading should work.

Maybe it's like on 3 here in Sweden, 3 is going to need to accept the update. A friend of mine got the update notify but can't install it untill 3 says ok.
[Omnia 7 General] Kozio:
You aren't the only one who's waiting for this update.

I'm also using Omnia 7 from Orange UK and no upgrade in Zune for that moment.

I think i'll try to flash it with DFT Rainbow ROM (based on 8107)
[Omnia 7 General] Spookidoodles:
May I suggest this custom instead?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=22576610#post22576610

Had a few problems with Rainbow *not just the relocking* but I've been using this for 3 days now and its a lot less hassle with an Omnia 7 :)
[Omnia 7 General] Freypal:
Same here. Orange UK - Still on 7740.

Orange have been poor with updates. Shame really... I couldn't look at other networks though as Orange have by far the best deals available and do stock a decent range of WP7 handsets.
[Omnia 7 General] Spookidoodles:
I've been having major issues with the 3G not working randomly after 8107, so you are quite lucky.
[Omnia 7 General] cyrax.net:
I know this is an oldish thread but has anyone on orange/tmob/everything everywhere or whatever they are calling themselves today have the 8107 update?

The disappearing keyboard is such a pain and I need a fix.

It's Mozart I'm wondering about really because reading up it seems other phones may already have had this update.

I called Orange business support and theire tech guys "don't know about any 8107 update". I thought this was just the call centre woman fobbing me off so sent an email to account managers and they said the same thing even though I sent them offical link from MS about the update. :eek:
[Omnia 7 General] sab742:
Wasn't being pushed to my Omnia 7 on T-Mobile UK as of last week.

Is your phone Interop unlocked? If so you could just tweak a registry entry so you receive the update.

If not, you can manually update using the cab sender method. Doesn't require a developer/unlocked phone. I did it myself and its pretty straightforward.

I followed this guide. Easy to do and it shouldn't stop you getting future OS updates (i.e. Tango) and manufacturer firmware updates through Zune. That is, if Orange ever get round to letting them be pushed out.
[Omnia 7 General] cyrax.net:
Thanks sab, I followed the guide and have updated my phone.

I've not seen any problems so going to update my colleagues phone too!

I'm just annoyed with Orange for not pushing updates from MS. I think MS should take control of updates like they do with their operating systems and take the carrier out of it. I appreciate there will be regional issues and carrier specific configurations but it's just silly having updates and not being able to apply them.
[Omnia 7 General] englishgit:
Can you confirm this works OK for Orange UK? I don't want to screw up a phone when I still have a few months of the contract left. Also, did you only need 5 language pack on the Mozart? Mine only lists 5 under Display Lancuages, but loads under Region Format.
[Omnia 7 General] cyrax.net:
I've been using it fine since I posted that updated. As has my colleague. So great to fix that annoying 'hidden keyboard' problem.

If I remember correctly, I used the 5 languages pack only. The same as what was listed in the languages section of the phone.

There are no guarantees and you may screw up your phone. That's the risk you'll have to take.
[Omnia 7 General] englishgit:
Forgive my asking another stupid question, but my phone only lists "English". Am I correct in assuming this is English-UK?

I'm also wondering if I should to this if it might break the auto-update and the Tango update might be available in the future. Any thoughts?

Finally, my phone's on 7740, not 7720. Anyone know if that would make a difference?
[Omnia 7 General] cyrax.net:
Yes "English" is English UK. Mine is the same.

I can't comment on the Tango update but I doubt it will affect it. This cab update your doing is an official release as far as I know but it's just that you are forcing the update instead of waiting for Orange to do it.

I was on 7740. This should be the latest build(last time I checked) from Orange on my phone anyways - HTC Mozart.

Here's link for a tutorial on a way to increase your dropbox storage for free.

http://www.ghacks.net/2012/02/02/increase-your-dropbox-space-by-4-5-gigabyte/

Just did it this morning works out fine. Oh and if you don't have 4.5 GB of photo's around to upload here's a link to a dummy photo files that will be accepted into drop box. http://goo.gl/ircYf Just extract the tar file with either winrar or 7zip and you should a folder with 4.5 gigs of dummy photo images.

uploading

and finished screenshot

Once you are done with uploading the images you just delete the photo's and you keep the increased storage space.

WIN!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] anthony67:
I have the new client installed, did it yesterday and I have 3 gig total space. When I uploaded your file, it got to the 3 gig limit and said I had used all of my space with out giving anymore.....any ideas??

Dropbox 1.3.12 is what I'm using....thanks in advance.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] im0rtalz:
Drop box will only give the increased space if you upload it via the camera upload feature. So no uploading videos will not work, and also dragging the pictures into the camera upload folder in dropbox will not work also.

Also the new experimental build is 1.3.13

https://www.dropbox.com/help/287
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] anthony67:
Ok....I still dont get it...sorry. Do I need to move your file over to my phone and then plug it into my PC??

Edit: I got it...move pics to phone start everything and let them upload....I also have the new version...thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] im0rtalz:
Install the latest experimental build. Rename the folder to camera, if you are using your phone save it in your Internal Storage in the DCIM folder.

Then go to Control Panels > Hardware & Sound > Autoplay

Then put your phone into MTP mode by disabe usb debug mode in application development

Set your auto play to use drop box like below

Then plug in your phone again and it should start uploading via the drop box camera upload

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ellisz:
I have bought a few of the low profile car usb chargers but they were never recognized as an AC charge. Come to find out, it was the USB cable. I bought a usb charging cable from Amazon last week and it goes in the USB charger and the phone does not think it is a USB charge. I have not timed it but it is recognized the same as the wall charger.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheKaz:
+1 .. this solution has been working great for me, as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jdbower:
I've been getting 2.1A car chargers (look for ones for the iPad), most of the ones I had prior to this were 700mA or so and they can't keep up with my 1A phones. Be careful of dual port chargers advertising 2A, they may only be 1A each and may be "optimistic" about that rating. And don't worry about getting one rated for too much current, the Galaxy Nexus won't pull more than an amp no matter what the charger rating.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Grant H:
Some really good solutions here and thank you all for the help.

I'd really hate to use an inventer in my car just to maintain a clean install, so that really isnt an option for me.

Was really hoping to be able to use a off the shelf car charger with the correct pins to trick the GNexus into thinking that it was charging from a USB port, but the above solution should work well with using a socket USB charger.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jdbower:
I've never run into a car adapter that looks like a USB port, including the VZW charger with a spare port or the cheap 2.1A chargers I got from Amazon. My guess is that a charger not built correctly and leaving the data pins open only supports ~500mA anyway. Even if that's not the case I have a moral objection toward buying a cable to fix a design flaw in another cheap product - but that's just me ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bisazz:
I've got a charger similar to http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/USB-Car-...ccessories&hash=item4ab18358f4#ht_1638wt_1392

All I had to do was undo the screws at the top, put a bit of solder between the middle usb pins, and my phone recognises it as a AC source rather than USB.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Grant H:
There has got to be a standard car charger on the market with the middle usb pins already soldiered!

I found this on Amazon which advertises itself as a rapid charging device.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CyberPunk7t9:
Make sure the charger has the IC (rapid) chip. I use this one:

http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-Vehicle-Adapter-micro-USB-Charger/dp/B000S5Q9CA
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheKaz:
I've heard that Motorola one mentioned a lot as a good one.

The nice thing about having the low-profile usb plug is (a) it is low profile, (b) I can use it to charge other devices. The charge-only cable is only about $4, so I had no issues buying it to work with this to charge as an AC charge over a USB charge.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] outbackpaul:
I have this one and it charges just like it does from the home outlet and its says "AC" charging. I bought another 8 for family and friends and they all love it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jdbower:
I think I've figured out the disconnect, I've run into chargers that appear as a USB host which limits the charging to 500mA on previous phones I've had.

You guys are concerned about USB vs. AC charging mode. Of the chargers I've got, this one lists as AC while the rest as USB. However, the fact that the other chargers all work just fine keeping up with GPS+streaming music indicates that the USB vs. AC really has no bearing on the charge current delivered. I'd stay away from charge-only cables just because they'll get mixed in with your standard USB cables and you'll knock yourself out wondering why they don't work. On the other hand, if you really want AC in your battery info order the one I linked.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheKaz:
I keep it in my car... i think I've heard on other threads that USB charging doesn't keep up with GPS (for Directions). Any verify?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jdbower:
What's much more important is the rating on the power source. The GN can pull up to 1000mA, if your charger is only rated for 800mA (like many car chargers) it doesn't matter if it's in AC mode.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheKaz:
makes sense.. the one I use has dual usb (1.0 and 2.1)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jdbower:
You went and gave me a project for the weekend, and once again science prevails over anecdotal evidence. I took each of my 5 chargers and hooked them up to a 12V power supply that measures current. I then recorded whether the charger reported AC or USB, for the ones with USB I modified a right-angle adapter to short out the data pins, and I measured the current. The contenders:

Verizon Wireless Dual Charger

XTG Dual Port Charger

Griffen Powerjolt Dual USB Charger

Griffen Portjolt Micro

CostMad Dual USB Charger

The VZW model was USB out the external port as I had tested before, however AC out the built-in cable which I hadn't bothered to test. It pulled 0.25A @12V via the USB port and 0.59A via the cable. Hmmm... A hole develops in my previous observation. While I had used this on a long car trip with no issues, it was via the built-in cable.

The XTG was new, I hadn't used it before as it's in the car I rarely drive. It reported USB and 0.22A. With the adapter to make it report AC it pulled 0.48A.

The pattern was set. I had expected the Griffen adapters to be built more appropriately but the dual charger reported 0.22A without the adapter and 0.42A with. I had used this without losing charge in the past so this was surprising to me, but it's possible I just wasn't drawing as much current because the screen was dimmer or something.

The compact Griffen adapter (which is great for a laptop bag, BTW) pulled 0.21A and 0.47A respectively.

The cheap CostMad adapter was the only one that performed well out of the box, both reporting AC and pulled 0.57A.

In theory, a perfect adapter should pull 0.42A. Anything more is waste, anything less means it's not keeping up. I have doubts about the Griffen 2x allowing for a full amp, but the VZW and CostMad chargers are pretty lossy. What's even worse is that I'm pretty sure the VZW charger is rated for 800mA (but I can't find an actual spec on it) which would mean that it pulled the most power for the least current. Not that this really matters unless you've got an electric car.

Sorry for misleading you earlier, I should have checked the other port of the known-good VZW charger and probably doublechecked the numbers on my other "known good" charger. Still hating cables that work for charging but not for data, I ended up modifying each of the chargers to short the middle pins (except for the VZW one). If I didn't have the soldering iron for this, I probably would have gone for some of these instead.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ctbear:
I'm using the same one and it works perfect. Charges even when GPS navigation is running.

Make sure you select Amazon as the seller though. I heard there are a lot of fake ones.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] James Bell:

I always loved my Igo car charger, you can buy the tips you need and if they brake just change them, plug and play.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dh3lix:
So just to understand it correctly: you shortcutted the both middle pins (should be the data once if i'm correct) and the GN starts thinking it's an AC charger?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] subvertz:
This is correct. You need to get the resistance between the D+ and D- to less than 200 Ohm. Solder is 1 way to do this.

I have soldered 2 different USB port types that went from USB to AC charging mode on the GNEX.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dh3lix:
Excellent - I will give this a try for sure. If i am correct the switch from USB to AC charging mode will also cause the GN to go to rapid charge mode using >500mah ?
