Hi, can you access fastboot?
[General Questions and Answers] fl4m3h4z3:
Sorry im too noob, so i dont know what fastboot is... :/

But i tried pressing all the possible combinations of buttons to turn it on without any success... The phone is dead, cant see anything on screen... I have already read some other threads where people flashed a galaxy S rom on a galaxy s2 device and now they got a bricked device as well...

I sent it to warranty but im not sure if they are gonna replace it with a new one... so im preparing myself for the worst...

Sorry for my english O:

Do you think theres a way that t mobile knows whats happening with the phone? I mean, how are they gonna turn it on?? im worried about the warranty...

I mean the version of touch wiz from gingerbread. It has more features such as changeable homescreens and is smoother. I have seen it on our section of the forum before i cannot seem to find it however.

Hi all,

I am buying an ipad and want to use the bionic sim card in both devices (obviously not at the same time...)

While I am pretty sure that it will work, I would like to find out which sim card cutters/ adapters work the best to get the job done.

I will be moving the card back and forth pretty frequently so a good adapter is important. (all the amazon kits seem to really suck- being too thick, if anyone has experience with the noosy let me know.)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] dirtyfingers:
Do apple devices even use sim cards since they are not 4g? I dont know cause I despise apple products. Which ipad are you referring to...ipad 3?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] smokedkill:
The sim card isn't exclusive to the bionic, as all the LTE phones use it.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] elistuy:
All verizon 4g phones have one of two sized sim cards, micro and regular which can be cut to micro.

Important to note is not all adapters will work with all phones, slight tolerance differences in thickness might make it work in some phones but not others. If available I would like to hear some success stories out there.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cellzealot:
I used a French knife to cut my bionic SIM to fit my Gnex and a Swiss army knife to cut another old SIM to use as an adapter to put the now Micro sized SIM back in the Bionic.

I am a pastry chef and used to working with knives...it works perfectly! ;)

I feel like a thread necromancer here, but in case anyone's still looking at this, I just got one of these delivered to me:

http://www.dealextreme.com/p/stainl...adapters-for-apple-ipad-iphone-4-41275?item=6

The adapters are cheap plastic slips, but the cutter works great. I tested it on some old dead GSM SIMs I had just to see, before I used it on a live SIM. Worked perfectly each time. The edges end up a little rough, but a quick pass with a nail file or even just rubbing them takes that out.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] smokedkill:
This is kind of a guide if you don't want to run a custom rom but don't want the look and feel of stock. I'm doing this from my phone so I don't have the links but everything can be easily found with a Google search. If anyone has the links for the needed files and want to provide them, thanks.

First off, you will need bootstrap unless you happen to have stock on your safe side with safestrap.

1. Get the 902 deodexed. Flash it.

2. Get droidjunk's power toggles (I found it on the same website as 902 deodexed, but unfortunately it wasn't xda). Flash it.

3. Jgummy's rom toolbox (paid version) will allow you to customize your task bar a little more than droidjunk's power toggles do.

4. Home launcher of your choice (I use go launcher)

Optional

5. Flash the webtop hack

6. Beats audio

7. Custom boot animation

Sorry I don't have the links for these anymore. But if you are using stock and don't want the feel of stock, using these tools can give you a new feel to your phone. Its also pretty simple so it's something you can do yourself without learning how to theme.

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] fender90:
Ok guys, Samsung is not updating our phone to ICS. We hate this choice, but we can't help it.

Everyone is waiting for arco68 and the ICS porting, that is gonna be awesome but isn't here yet.

All I see around here is whining and questions, but no one lifts a finger to push this community: no one cares to see how to port mods, themes, and all kind of things that make Android interesting: if I wanted a closed source phone I'd have bought an iPhone and let it be as it came out of the box.

So PLEASE guys: the next time you come here to beg on the "cm9 build thread", instead look on XDA, read guides, try something, DO SOMETHING. If you don't know how to, ASK! If you don't manage, post here, we'll see what we can do to help.

There is no need to be a developer or know about code: you'll find tons of step-by-step guides all over XDA that will teach you.

We can't keep always asking. It's time to ACT!

Guys....

I think there is just over-enthusiasm and some impatience.....

perhaps, as a 58 yr-old enthusiast, I have done whatever I could in the way of advice and some experience in IT and Telco...

but young people, which I wish I was, don't have the patience which comes with age ;)

I really have not seen anyone here really getting obnoxious, [well..maybe 1 person].....

so ppl should not take offence for little reason.....

Take a break, come back refreshed.....

ppl here only wish Devs the best, and hope they can solve outstanding issues....I genuinely feel this to be true
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] fender90:
@IP I totally support the devs, and I'm one of those calm about waiting for releases.

What I was trying to say is that everyone should try to contribute actively instead of just waiting for the others to do the work :-)

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] bagux:
Hi all, I never write on this forum, i just read and waiting for news from our community, and i totally agree with fender90, we all need to do something for this Wonder(ful) smartphone!

Probably all of us are waiting for ics/cm9 and i think this is why only few people are trying to do something for us on gingerbread.

In my case i'd like to do something like a kernel with bln for example, but first of all for now i only rooted my phone and i'm afraid of briking my only phone trying to do other mods...Also, i dunno how to begin to do something else like develop a new kernel or improve the features of our w, like the devs on this forum are doing...So i'd really like to see more activity for this phone, and i'd really like to have a part on that, but i dunno how, and first to mod my phone i need to be sure on how i can test my possible mods without damages...:(
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] fender90:
Unfortunately there is no "safe" way to mod, there is always some little bit of risk. But little mods can't hard brick your phone!

What arco68 is doing is the hard work that can brick your phone. He knows what he's doing.

Little mods to the framework or somthing like that will (in the worst case) soft brick your phone, that can be solved in 10 minutes by reflashing a ROM or restoring a Nandroid backup.

About how, check this out: that was the thing I was trying to do before kinda giving up because I don't see an active community that is actually trying to do something: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1169443
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] irishpancake:
fender....thanx for that!!!!

I would say that an active participating community will take some time to evolve!!

This forum is very young yet, and I am not sure it will ever become as big and active as those for more popular devices.

however, I also think that you should continue to do stuff, like you have linked, it will also encourage others with similar skills to contribute, and others to learn and become skilled....

keep up the good work!!
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] andynroid:

I know there is always a little risk, however i'm new in android, so i need to read more and learn how to save and restore my data before to mod my phone...then i'd like to know the basics to develop and then i can try do something, but there are a lot of information in the forum so it's difficult for a newbie to understand where to begin, what are the easy mods can be done...when i have times to search surely i'll do it, but til then we need all the man like u that wanna improve this phone...cause, ics or not, this is a great smartphone!

[Windows Phone 7 General] Tempest790:
I'm guessing probably not, but the faster charging times would be a great plus. Charging over USB 2.0 seems rather slow compared to proprietary connectors like iPhones, etc. It micro connector should be backwards compatible if you only had a 2.0 cable anyway. It shouldn't impact the design of phones very much since it's just a little wider.
[Windows Phone 7 General] leftspeaker2000:
Correct me if i am wrong but It should charge over usb 3.0 faster as usb 2.0 can supply 5v at 500 mA whilst usb 3.0 is 900 mA. Regardless of the connector like the proprietary apple connector it will not charge a device any better as it still is constrained by the usb standard. This is not to say you cannot run more amps though a usb cable connect to a wall connecter as i have a usb wall connected that runs 5v at 1 amp and it charges pretty dam fast.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Strike_Eagle:
I don't really think so.

the number of USB 3.0 "actual" user nowdays is still low. and the price for it right now is also ridiculous high compare to the standard 2.0.

But who knows? maybe i am wrong... USB 3.0 is a nice feature to have.
[Nook Touch General] darkguy2008:
Hey :)

I've recently got my NST and, after TouchNootering it, I reverted it back to stock and manually rooted & installed stuff on it. I managed to install latest busybox too (1.19.1), even better than what TouchNooter installs.

Anyways, I've been wondering if anybody here is up to the challenge of making a ROM for this device. Modifying the actual ROM is nice... but it's buggy and it feels sloppy at times, not to mention it semi-works. Some features do, some don't.

I think, that if we make it possible to run a basic Eclair ROM, we can move to Froyo and maybe then, with enough experience and all, get GB or ICS installed on it. I think it's -very- possible... it just needs to be put some work on :)

Anyone? :D
[Nook Touch General] bobstro:
Two issues: Drivers and memory. Unless drivers are available for the version of Android you want to build, you're going to have a tough time. Unless B&N releases a newer version of Android for the NST, this is probably unlikely. I suspect we're stuck on 2.1 eclair.

The NST only has 256M of memory, so a lot of what works on other devices is going to have to trimmed down.

This isn't to say that it can't be done, but by the time you're done, it may not be so much better than what we've got. Anything is possible, of course, but I'm not aware of anything along the lines of CyanogenMod in the works for the NST. I'd be happy to be wrong.

In the meantime, there's no reason improved software can't be written to run on what we've got. At least rooting makes that possible.
[Nook Touch General] darkguy2008:
Hey :)

Well, yes, there's the issue with drivers. Thing is, and I might be wrong at this, that a driver can be kept in newer versions and still be used. For example, in HTC Magic, the video driver hasn't been updated in *ages*, and the little device can even run ICS now. Froyo, Donut & Gingerbread both use almost the same driver versions and it hasn't had any issues so far. I'm using my own experience as base on this though.

About the memory, again experience, HTC Magic has like 512 Mb ROM and 256 Mb RAM. The NST has 256 MB RAM and 2GB ROM. I find it very possible.

Thing is, I'm not very satisfied with "what we've got". See, I bought it planning to use it as a tablet instead, since... I rarely read, lol. So far so good, I can VNC/TeamView to computers at work and my computer at home, take notes and even browse the web (well, kiiiinda...), but it's buggy as hell. I mean, the rooters we have are pretty good at what they do, but the OS itself, the way B&N built it, it's broken.

See, LatinIME doesn't work correctly or is almost impossible to use with Dolphin (or any other browser) because they also broke WebCore =/. Not to mention the colors are a bit off since it's all B&W and some texts are in the same color as the background (thanks to their Framework.res theme) so...

Taking that into account, I wanted to give a go at a ROM instead, since there isn't any ROM for this device yet, and considering we have CWM working, I find it very possible to compile a ROM and use it, or hell, at least have a pure Android OS booting.

I've made some research here:

http://elinux.org/Android_on_OMAP

http://www.omappedia.org/wiki/Android_Getting_Started#Video_Tutorials

https://docs.google.com/document/d/19f7Z1rxJHa5grNlNFSkh7hQ0LmDOuPdKMQUg8HFiyzs/edit?hl=en_US

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Barnes_&_Noble_Nook_Color:_Compile_CyanogenMod_(Linux)

And I think it's very possible to build a ROM, using the first two links + the tutorial at google docs. Also, it seems that some procedures, tools or code made for the Nook Color are also able to be used for the NST, since they share almost the same exact hardware.

However, I'm confused on how to start. This is my first time building an Android ROM after some few failed attempts at an HTC Magic ROM, though the instructions seem to be waaaay easier than HTC's. Right now I'm downloading Ubuntu Server 11.10 x64 so I can set up a simple OpenBox environment and start pulling code... but it's confusing :(

I'm up for the challenge, and I'm trying to work on it, but I'm no genius and I feel that if there's more than one person working on this, we can take a ROM out which would be better than the stock ROM and would have better and cooler stuff, like USB Host Mode already included or the refresh rate fixed/faster. Hell, I even restored it to factory defaults and then rooted it manually and installed BusyBox 1.19.1 in it, something which isn't mentioned in any tutorial that I've found yet.
[Nook Touch General] Googie2149:
The issue with drivers isn't so much it being old, it's getting a driver for the E-Ink screen. It's like video cards; you can put any driver you want on any computer, but unless it's the right one, you'll be stuck at 640x480 (or in the case of Android, no display).

It's not ROM, it's flash storage or whatever the correct term. ROM (read-only-memory) cannot be written to, and the flash storage is just storage space.

WebKit could probably be fixed eventually, and fixing the framework-res.apk shouldn't be too difficult, just unpack the thing with apktool and grab notepad++ or something.

If we had CWM working, would this thread exist? Yes, it's working on the Nook Color, but getting it to work on the NST would require removing so many things and so much more, and even when it does happen it'd probably be a hollow shell of what it normally is.

I didn't mean to put you down by all this or flame you, so hey, good luck!
[Nook Touch General] darkguy2008:
Hmm, you're right. I have the idea of using Eclair's drivers included in the B&N update files (1.1.2), I dunno how to use them but if the .so file exists, there must be a way to invoke their methods, no? It's just a theory, I kinda suck at this thing of kernel drivers 'n stuff.

Oh okay, then I can't seem to find any official specs of how much RAM does the NST have =/. Pretty weird.

Yeah, I have an idea of trying to fix that APK, but I wanted something more... Android-ish xD.

Actually, we -have- CWM working in the NST, just look here -> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1360994 . If a recovery was made possible in NST, which means some ROM (or whatever) compiling to display and use the hardware buttons, I'm very sure it is possible to build an Android ROM the same way o.o...

Hehe, it's okay, didn't take it as that, so, thanks :D

On another news, I followed this tutorial: http://www.omappedia.org/wiki/Android_Getting_Started up to the "repo sync" stage. It says it should take an hour and all, but it doesn't. It takes like 5 seconds, no output, nada. I don't know what could be wrong :(

Any help? :D

According to this:

-/+ buffers: 204 23
Swap: 0 0 0

The device only has 256 Mb RAM? I find it enough up to ICS. My previous HTC Magic could run ICS quite happily even without hardware acceleration, Froyo ran as fast as the stock 1.5 ROM and Gingerbread ran pretty okay. I didn't have the chance to work on optimizing it because my Magic got stolen, but I bet it could've been made to work as fast as the stock ROM if correctly optimized. Taking that into account, I'm sure this device can withstand a greater android version :).

Lol, nah XD. It it would be cool if it worked but nah, those guys prefer the most powerful devices :/ sucks though.

[Nook Touch General] Renate:
I think radical changes of the Android version is too much to expect.

There's not a lot of ram on the Nook.

However, I just read that one of the big differences between 2.1 and 2.2

is that big changes were made to the Dalvik VM which sped it up 2X to 5X.

I think that that would be a worthy goal.
