[HTC Sensation] Ruki_Uki:
Ive done my research, im no noob to this lol. I just havent found anything simular to the problems I am having.

So first off the phone isnt mine, its my friends, but im not new to Android and have done my fair share of roots. Ive never had any of these issues.

He bought the phone off of craigslist and it was suppose to be already rooted. So that was the first thing I checked, and it was defiantly S-ON.... So I asked what his problem was, and he said the camera didnt work. If you enter the camera app, or camcorder is would just flash right back to the haome screen. But yet if you go into Qik and video chat the front cam would work just fine.

So I did several factory restores of all ways possible and nothing fixed it. So I got permission to root so I could flash a ROM and see if that fixes the issue.

I rooted via Revolutionary of course. I followed all the step in the guide posted here in the section. After some trouble I finally got it fully rooted. But I was having some problems in recovery. One of them was when using the volume rocker to move up or down it would spazz out and I got to fight with the damn thing to get it to go where I want it to. But it didnt stop there!! Then while having that issue, I had another one where it would keep switching from say the back button was enabled or disabled. So that made it very difficult.

So then I had one ROM downloaded and I finally got it to where I could flash it and while it was flashing it would come back as an error saying something about the memory card! WTF! So after all of this and 3 hours of working on it I gave up for the night. So as I let the phone reboot into the stock ROM it still had the camera issue. AND also now when using the volume rocker for the volume, if you use up, the volume goes down. But if you press down the volume goes up!! Im about to just give up! Tomorrow ill try a new ROM and see how that goes.

So I guess im here asking if anyone has any ideas to any of these issues and what I could possibly do to fix any of these??? :confused:
[HTC Sensation] bigmerchant:
wonder if it was a bootleg phone. take the battery out and look over the stickers and what not, research them.
[HTC Sensation] KAwAtA:
No idea about this one! Sorry bud.. but wth? Error with memory card...!? Think you could post some screenies?

This is a feature with the recovery. If you're at the end of the options and you go back and forth.. it'll disable it. I don't like/use the feature myself!

The volume sort of sounds like hardware..! You can also navigate through recovery using the home and menu button too. Home is UP, menu = down. Search = select. Use that! Hopefully this helps a bit, as for the issue with flashing... I've no idea, I got to see that
[HTC Sensation] Ruki_Uki:
Ill defiantly take some tomorrow when I go back over and ill post them if I cant get anywhere.
[HTC Sensation] Ruki_Uki:
I had no idea about the home buttons, ill have to try that. I just find all this weird, Ive rooted a Moment, Hero, EVO 4G, EVO 3D, and a couple others and never came across any of these issues
[HTC Sensation] KAwAtA:
Yeah my buddy has an evo 3d. I rooted it and did all the stuff for him. Pretty much the same thing. I find it strange that you're having trouble
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] BFro:
After extensive research via Google hunting (we all know how reiiable the internents can be), I found that while I am not the only one who appears to have Lumiread missing from my A100, there also doesn't appear to be any fixes from Acer. The closest I have come to finding a solution is from a couple of threads, here, on Xda. But... these seems to be the programs meant for the a500 only(?). I have tried a couple different ways to install the program, and while I did get the installation to go through, the app force closes immediately upon loading.

I can provide any more info if need be. I have my a100 rooted and am using Crossix's custom build.prop (which seems to be working nicely. However did not change my tab from a Gen2 to Gen1. Also thank you to crossix for the relatively painless root process).

Any info on this lumiread matter is greatly appreciated. I figure if anyone knows anything, it will be here. Thanks in advance.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] crossix:
The reason why lumiread fc´s on start is probably due to missing entries in the framework for acer´s rom. To get lumiread built in, you just need to upgrade to one of the GEN1 roms found in the dev section.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] BFro:
Thanks a lot man. You are all over this forum. Keep cranking out updates.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnny tsunami:
My mom has asked me if i can root her nook. It is currently on 1.4.1 and as I have browsed through the many threads im left without an idea on which method i should use to root. I have rooted my phone several times so I am somewhat familiar with the process i would just hope that someone can point me in the right direction so i can get a good stable rom, and method to root the device. thank you.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koopakid08:
To put a custom rom on there follow the guide linked to in my sig. (I recommend this)

To root the stock firmware follow the instructions here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1438212

I am not sure how stable the 1.4.1 root is.

Sent from space
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobstro:
The first question you need to answer is whether she'll need or want the B&N content. Here are the "B&N required features" from the Target Audience portion of the howto koopakid pointed you to:

Read to me (mostly children's book)

Enhanced content (e.g. Conde Nast magazines such as Wired, New Yorker, though some of these are becoming available via 3rd party sources.)

Newpaper or magazine subscriptions (auto-update)

B&N Free in-store reading

Support from friends with stock Nooks or B&N (conditional upon being rooted)

The B&N reader experience and shell. The B&N Android Nook app is not the same thing as their firmware experience, at least not yet. Someday, they may update the B&N Nook Android app, but it is pretty poor right now. If you want to read B&N stuff, then 1.4.1 is a big deal.

Keep in mind that, if you root, she may have a hard time getting support at her local B&N. Unless you are prepared to be her full-time support, that may be a big deal. Does she really need root for what she wants?

If you decide she will actually benefit from root, the guide should get you set up. I've been running rooted 1.4.1 for a month now with few issues. My NC works like any other as far as B&N is concerned, though I know some of the employees raise a stink if they figure out you've rooted. I get infrequent Sleeps of Death, though I also got those with CM. Battery life is pretty good. I can leave it unused for a couple of days and do some casual reading. If I really bang on it, it uses about 10% per hour, so a solid day of reading and watching movies is possible.

If none of these factors apply,

then there's little reason to stick with B&N firmware

. Loading other firmware will give her more "tablet" functionality than B&N's. Koopakid's got a good summary on the various non-B&N options. For a non-B&N user, I'd recommend eyeballer's guide to installing to eMMC, and use CM 7.2 RC0 Mirage. It's very stable, despite being based on a nightly. Set her up with Aldiko for reading and Overdrive for library books and she'll be in good shape.

Ask her a few more questions about why she wants to root before doing anything dramatic. I've been in the "family tech support" mode for years, and it can be a real hassle if they get in over their heads.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnny tsunami:
Thanks

Well thanks guys, ill have to dig in a little bit more. I feel kind of spoiled with the simpleness and ease of the rooting process with my evo, who would of thought the NC would involve so much to root. But im going to give it a shot

thanks.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BruceMcF:
If she wants the basic Nook Color just with a couple of apps that B&N doesn't have, a manual noot is pretty straightforward. I used the TeamWin Recovery Project image, copied the manualnooter from the Nook Color Android Development thread on "[NC][1.2][1.3] ManualNooter 4.6.16", page 175, post 1745. I installed that and it was rooted with no apparent problems.

Follow the main instructions at the opening post in "[NC][1.2][1.3] ManualNooter 4.6.16" to use NookColorTools to select install third party packages ~ do a search for Zeam, run it from search, use the apps widget to get to the full range of apps available ~ and then run the Android Market to download Nook Color App Manager to put apps downloaded from the Android Market into the stock Home pages.

The caution on the stock++ approach is to be careful of updates ~ don't let Android Market update apps that are actually from B&N, for example.

I rooted my nc with manual nooter 5.1.12.20 or something like that. I cant remember the version but it starts with 5 and ends in 20 :) I flashed ics on it with no problems
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] votinh:
If you flashed ICS on it, then why would you need to root your device?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prettedda:
I recommend using verygreens installer for sd card with cm7 so you can easily go back if she doesn't like it. Easy to find in the development thread.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AnnonymousFalcon:
I'd suggest burning clockwork mod recovery to an SD and flashing cm7,that is, assuming she is sure she wants to stick with that rom. Just beware of the blue dot, i rooted my blue dot 1.4.1 nc this way and had a few issues.

[Nexus S General] dinjc:
I just bought the Nexus S about 4 days ago, and im absolutely loving it, as im new to android, my nexus S is version 2.3 gingerbread, i was thinking about updating it to 4.0.4, because i heard there was alot of issues with 4.0.3 as in battery wise and bugyish performance, had the bugs been fixed on 4.0.3? Also apparently the Nexus S cant run 4.0.4 only the 4gs version can?

if i did update it to 4.0.4, from reading around im assuming that the battery life is better than gingerbread 2.3? and were would i be able to download a safe version of 4.0.4 ?

Cheers,

does it have any bugs? do you know how the battery runs or would it affect/restrict my Nexus S from doing stuff?
[Nexus S General] gatorade:
it reboots automatic sometimes. mms is still not work.

battery drain is better than 4.0.3, about one day for normal use.

i think it's worth to use. try it
[Nexus S General] 309041291a:
I say go for a custom ROM like mine. 4.0.3 can have GREAT battery life if you mess with the settings a bit. And it is less buggy (I never have reboots now)

[Nexus S General] Erythnul:
I'm personally currently using AOKP (a 4.0.3 ROM) but if you want to go for 4.0.4 I'd recommend either the stock port or irtehun's nuhetri ROM. Plenty of stable and great 4.0.3 ROMs out there though. If you want to stay stock, unrooted or wait for a guaranteed stable version, next month 4.0.5 is supposedly coming (Source: SFR via Android Police), it should fix all the 4.0.3 issues and well, do unknown other stuff :P

The market app. Go to the settings-manage apps-all-scroll to the market app, clear data and reboot. Then open the market app. A window should pop up for you to agree to the market disclaimers and conditions.

Just a though. I wanted to attempt this myself, but I honestly suck at editing graphics. Idk. Let's see some ideas! I know there would be at least a few other people that would love this.

How Windows Phone 8 ‘Apollo’ Would Stack Up Against iOS 5, Android 4?

http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2012/02/windows-phone-8-leak
[Windows Phone 7 General] samsabri:
It'll be a full on war for sure. The Marketplace will explode overnight as devs can target Win8 and WP8 without too much work on their end. This will nullify the 'app count' argument when comparing platforms. Instead we can focus on the overall experience with using the platform when comparing iOS and Android.

Personally I like the approach Microsoft has been taking with their products lately, it'll be fun to see them integrate the experience deeper and share it across their products.

Great time to be a tech fan!
[Windows Phone 7 General] Alcoholic:
I agree. This is the first time i've felt proud to support Microsoft since Gates left.

Everything is shaping up nicely.. The one ecosystem idea is brilliant. PC, Phone, Entertainment (next gen xbox), and tablets.

[Windows Phone 7 General] ahlMAR:
i think if they make not more customizations possible for the customers apollo will be in the dark with 1-2% marketshare like wp7. another point is that the features are good but what is the killer argument to use windows apollo? windows is fast, modern and so on but it isnt worlds better im comparison with other handyos.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ohgood:
1) the war has been over for a little while, trenches filled in, grass is growing, birds chirping....

2) there's reason to believe this could happen, I would imagine with current market share assumptions developers will focus completely on the desktop apps.

3) there are a lot of "ifs" here still. Will 8 be another vista ? How hard will m$ have to push to get people out of windows7 ? Will anyone care "there's a phone too!" ?

4) Right now, today, this should be advertised like crazy. Not leaks, not 12 second clips from a presentation, full on, corporate themed, blackberry-attention-grabbing, no-fuzzy-gates-and-seinfeld-bs, advertising. Every day they aren't spending $500,000 on marketing is a waste.

5) its been here for a few years, tell m$, wake them up !
[Windows Phone 7 General] chaitanya91845:
I was so excited by Samsabri's post, but yours was a reality-pill. :P It is true that Windows 8 should be advertised like crazy.
[Windows Phone 7 General] svtfmook:
i think everyone is getting a head of themselves here...

apollo is not going to solve any of the problems with the current wp7 platform's popularity. none of the features listed are really anything the average consumer looks at when buying a new device. wp7's current major downfall, is the developers themselves. the apps are just plain crap. a developer just tosses and app together to a semi-functional state, then puts it on the market. look at the basic apps that work great on ALL platforms except wp7. twitter, facebook, angry birds, spotify, pandora, these are the most popular apps on mobile devices. twitter, doesn't work. facebook, doesn't work. angrybids works, but you don't get seasons, rio, etc. spotify, doesn't work. pandora, non-existent.

the updates with apollo are not going to fix any of these problems. will they make your wp7 experience better? overall, yes. but again, it's not going to provide users with the basic app foundation that users are looking for.

oh, and where in the apollo update is a maps update? great... something else that's really holding wp7 down will not get fixed. we will just need to purchase windows 8, and pay $2+ per app in the marketplace for apps that don't really work that well.
[Windows Phone 7 General] PG2G:
You do realize that we don't know much at all about what Apollo will bring, right?
[Windows Phone 7 General] sure haven't:
That is very well said.

It's about the quality of the experience, not things like supporting resolutions.

I mean yes, that's a handicap, but they're still miles behind. The win8 tablet released in October?? Didn't the iPad come out in 2009? I love this platform, but they're so late to the party, it's like they're arriving the next morning when everyone's already long gone.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nicksti:
One day tech people will realize the truth: Tech does not sell Tech.

That is why the iPhone consistently outsells the best selling Android phone in all its highly customizable, multicore, lte, bells and whistles glory. Working well beats bells and whistles anyday.

All WP7 needs is to open more APIs, get more apps, and OEMs push out more phones and they are in the race.
[Windows Phone 7 General] akachay:
appolo will stacks up really well, right behind ios5 and a mile behind android 4. wp8 might get the market blooming steadily. the bad news is, apollo will be mile behind ios6 and year from the next android.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Strike_Eagle:
I was thinking the same way, when the developers from the big company don't really care about the apps for Windows Phone, (even XDA, don't blame me, just look at the Premium Apps, it hasn't been updated forever) .

Just because the marketshare of Windows Phone isn't big, and hey, Developers are people trying to make money too , right? And They sell apps, and of course, they want to sell their best product at the crowd .

Unless Microsoft can turn this around first, and now with Nokia, i hope we can have something better, when people now actually put Windows Phone in their list of choice. (Windows Mobile was completely ignored) .

So no matter what, i am gonna stick with Windows Phone for now.

So Gingerbread is miles ahead of Froyo, and ICS is miles ahead of Gingergread? I bet even most Android people would say no.

iOS 5 I may be inclined to give you as being far ahead of 4.3 because of the camera from lock, notification bar, pseudo-widgets, and it brought Siri. But look how many borrowed ideas that had.

Windows Phone will be miles behind Android in sales, phone offering, specs, and apps.

Windows Phone will be miles behind iOS in sales and apps.

Android will be miles behind iOS in sales per device.

What this tells me is if the Lumia series could land in the US with a big carrier at the right time in its development cycle (Apollo) it will be the second most popular phone after the iPhone. More popular than a Galaxy S phone. Honestly, Android has alot of issues. Apple suits. Oracle suits.
