Hi! Since i assume you are well aware of conputer operating systems

Android is a derivative of the Linux kernel which powers Ubuntu, Red Hat, Gentoo etc. Linux is based off of Unix as are other OS like Mac OS X. These Kernels use unix commands to carry out tasks underneath the X server interface (desktop). Android has a similar setup and you can issue commands from a terminal either on the tablet itself or in windows to install, remove and execute scripts and programs. ADB is the android equivelent of a com2 port if you will and that is how the NT and

Kindke Fire where originally rooted. You can use Indirects Adb script to root your tablet and even install Google apps. I know you already have one of Alberts cards but if you want to learn up on Android you should study up on ADB.

The version of Android that comes with the NT is fine if you just want

to consume books and media. This is Gingerbread 2.3 that

was developed specifically for the NT. Since Google requires manufacturers

to meet certain requirements to license the proprietary parts of

their software and apps and Barnes and Noble decided to forgo licensing

they could not include Google Apps on their tablet. This is why although GApps can be forced to run, there are still problems.

Cm7 is a heavily modified version of Android Gingerbread. It has the code in its

kernel 2.3 to run the Gapps without problems and allow full

Access to the market. Some of the "new" ICS roms that are

being built and distributed are actually based on Cm7 and the new

Code is being backported to work on the old kernel. This means whenever

A new feature is introduced to ICS, it has to be rewritten

to work on an old kernel. There is work being done to build

a working 3.x kernel which is what ICS will be based on.

I personally will wait and hope that development is completed

before i use ICS.

The launcher is what draws all the icons and gets you around. I personally like go launcher, others like ADW (cm7 default). Zeem launcher is lightweight and basic.

Just try a couple and use home switcher from marketplace to switch between then

Until you find the one tgat strikes balance between feautures and speed. Hope this helps you get started.

Thanks much for the help so far. I do appreciate it.

I have spent some time with the FAQ/Newb thread but will spend more time on it.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Know-Fear:
Check out the XDA wiki, or the CyanogenMOD wiki for the best vanilla-android questions. Things like how to set up the android SDK, downloading drivers, etc.. Anything from beginner to advanced should be found in one of those 2 places.

The search function here is sufficient. You just need to know what you are searching for. Basically typing in "android for newbs" is gonna return probably every post with the word android in it. Good luck finding anything in that mess. You need to be fairly specific.

A lot of people here are more than willing to help, so long as you post in the correct areas and at least try to search for an answer to your question.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nerdyjim:
Just spend a lot of time searching through XDA and using google searches. There is a TON of information out there, I know it seems a bit overwhelming at first, at least it did for me when I got my first Android phone. As long as you are willing to put into the time to research and use trial and error, you will be fine :) I would start with reading how to root the device that you currently have, from there learn how to install CMW and then worry about CM7 and other ROMs. As you are learning these things I believe a lot will fall into place.

Hi,

I have been facing these two weird issues:

1. Sudden drop in battery percentage: I have found that this occurs only when i reboot my phone (not every time though). So when the phone restarts, the battery is down by 20-30% or sometimes even more. And its not a one time issue. I have seen it happen at least 3-4 times in the last 5 months.

2. Sometimes when I am not charging the phone, the battery % keeps increasing slowly. This has been happening lately since the time I have rooted and flashed my phone. 2-3 occurrences that i know. I don't recall seeing this when I was on stock. Just this morning I plugged my phone off the charger at 52% and I left for work. And right now at this moment when I am writing this, the phone is at 58% charge!!

Just FYI.. I calibrate the battery every time I flash a new ROM.

Thanks,

Sam

I think that Entropy can answer this better but I'll still give a try.

[Q] Why these sudden battery level drops after reboot?

[A] The sudden battery drops is a known 'issue'. It's not a bug, it's the way the fuel gauges are designed for i777.

[Q] How to avoid these sudden battery level drops?

[A] Try not to reboot while it's on battery if the battery level is <50%. In that case, if you need to, make sure that the phone is plugged in for charging and then do the reboot. That should prevent those random battery level drops.

[Q] Will using battery calibration apps help?

[A] No, the way the i777 fuel gauges are designed, there is no need of battery calibration apps. The best way to get accurate battery level readings is to allow the battery to go through full 100%->0% battery discharge cycles for atleast 2-3 times. After each full discharge remove the battery, keep it out for a minute or two and reinsert, recharge the phone.

PS: The weird battery charges that violate E=MC^2 law might have to do with your battery not having been through proper discharge cycles (and thus not having been properly calibrated) after flashing a new ROM.

@Mod These questions are asked many times, how about adding them to FAQs (not sure if that will help though :P)

@Entropy Please review this post.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Pretty close.

Calibration does nothing on our device - the fuel gauge is designed so that it will always converge towards truth instead of diverging. Also, the "wipe battery stats" method of "calibration" has been proven to do NOTHING on ANY device whatsoever - https://plus.google.com/105051985738280261832/posts/FV3LVtdVxPT - The "charge battery to full" and "discharge/recharge" battery are valid tactics on some devices, but NOT any Galaxy S or S II device (maybe the ****rocket and T989, but not the I9100 or I777.) - There's a slight chance this may change with ICS on the I9100/I777 but not likely.

The advantage of this is that it never needs funky calibration cycles other than "just wait"

The disadvantage is that the gauge will get thrown off in a few limited corner cases - and the "two" issues described are one widely documented one. The gauge gets confused and falseley reports low by heavily battery load immediately following a reset, and takes a few hours to converge back to normality (during which the estimate creeps upward, because it was lower than reality initially).

And yeah this should probably be in the FAQ. I'll work on submitting it this weekend.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sammy.samsung:
Thanks guys..

So looks like the sudden battery drop issue can only be prevented but not fixed!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] twiggums:
It's pretty much the characteristics of putting a battery under load and using voltage to dictate battery level. when you draw a lot of current from a battery you'll usually see the voltage level drop, more so as the battery is discharged. Booting up the phone consumes quite a bit of power, substantially more than the device at idle. So upon start up the device reads the voltage level to dictate battery level. Since the device is under a relatively high power draw, it sees a lower voltage than would be at idle. It in return thinks the battery is lower than it actually is, or would read under idle load. the battery level will actually creep back up slowly because it will read a higher voltage, than it did upon start up.

The only way i could think of to get a more accurate reading would be to delay the initial voltage reading/recording upon start up, or to use the last voltage reading to help dictate the battery level. But i have no idea if that's even possible, or if it would conflict with some sort of other operation.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] avijeetpandey87:
I just don't get it!!!!!!!

I was playing multiplayer in bombsquad today morning wid my friend .My battery was @ 86% at that time

suddenly my battery came down to 15% then in the other moment it went to0% and mt phone got shut down. I plugged my phone in charge through the power bank and rebooted it and I saw my phone was @52 % I started using my phone and it again suddenly sut down this time without even a battery low message:eek:

it's been happening regularly wid my phone since then.

What could be the reason? And what can I do to make it right?

MODEL:SAMSUNG GALAXY CORE GT I8262

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
This is the wrong forum. Even though the thread is about a problem similar to yours, we don't know anything about your phone.

If you have a removable battery, you might try purchasing a new battery, but that's just a guess.

The forums for you phone are here.

Because the instruction is quite long ( and difficult ), so I recommend that you should read it on its homepage: http://codekiem.com/2012/02/24/apk-downloader/

Please tell if it works :)

( To MOD: I don't know where to post this topic, so I put it here. Hope it's ok. Thanks )

[Android Apps and Games] louisebb:
Firstly, I would like to thank you as it would help for those who are in countries that cannot download application.

Just a question, I'm a bit lost in following the instruction on where or how to open APK Downloader Options page?

Thanks in advance.
[Android Apps and Games] redphx:
To open options page, select Tools ~> Extensions. Find APK Downloader, and you'll see Options at the end of the description

I went back to Code Kiem Co'm (http://codekiem.com/2012/02/24/apk-downloader/), read the message of Redphx. :(
[Android Apps and Games] xriderx66:
Can someone explain where on the "instructions" website the link for this extension is???

It's not on the Chrome Store.

edit: read the blog post and it was removed, can you please give it to me? I need it because I changed my phone's density and it says app incompatible, so downloading and side loading would be my best source and this seemed like the BEST idea.

Why the hell do people have to ruin good ideas with their piracy crap? :(
[Android Apps and Games] Jack_Random:
some1 please post the extension here or pm it to me if possible please

as mentioned above, got removed from the link

cheers
[Android Apps and Games] nomadman:
The extension is disabled so even if you install it, it wont work. I pm'ed the dev but i doubt he'll reply.

Another app made by an asian that rushed to release without thorough testing. Go figure. Someone lock this thread.

[Android Apps and Games] redphx:
Please keep in mind that the problem comes from ( some ) users, not the extension itself. The extension works as it should. But some people use it to do bad things, and I really don't want that.
[Android Apps and Games] xriderx66:
Is it possible to FIX those issues and get this back up and running? I would really love this.
[Android Apps and Games] AceRoom:
But isn't it possible to make backups of paid apps from your phone itself? (I haven't bought any apps either)

So in that sense, your extension wouldn't be increasing piracy at all. And those who wish to pirate would anyway.

This app otherwise would be insanely useful!
[Android Apps and Games] Jack_Random:
This extension makes piracy more easy...

Doesnt mean everyone will pirate though. In my case, some apps cant be downloaded using market app ( sucks living in asia when it comes to that) thats where this comes in handy

[Android Apps and Games] famewolf:
How about modifying the app so it pushes the apk to the phone possibly by using the chrome to phone extension? All I want is a method to install an app when the market tells me the app is incompatible because I use a non standard dpi and I know full and well it will work.
[Android Apps and Games] nomadman:
I do understand and know that some people see this as an option to pirate. But those same people dont have any problems with country incomparably or hardware incompatibility either. Those same people ***** and moan about great apps like yours. Can you still work on it and fix it for people from countries like us? Even bullsh!t google wont let me install the latest google chrome.

[Android Apps and Games] ArneAC:
I guess the dev was afraid or got contacted by 'someone' already to pull it down. Too bad this would make sooo much easier.

Does this work than if you get the extension from somewhere else ? It's disabled so i guess even you 'could' install it, it will not work?

cheers,
[Android Apps and Games] nomadman:
Even if you side load the extension is still wont work because the extension connects to the devs URL. Now it just redirects to dev site after installing the ext.

[Android Apps and Games] TRIUMF:
Hope someone else will do the same extension without being affraid. Titanium backup also makes it possible to pirate software, but the project is not closed as it can also be done with other apps.. So where's the problem that pushed to close this extension?
[Android Apps and Games] hth2813:
I think we have to modify this extension a little bit to reactivate it. I have its ".crx" file, anyone know about code can pm me ^^
