[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Reflash stock rom & see if you can reproduce the problem.

If you don't have the problem with stock, then it's a problem with the rom you're using. In that case, do a completely clean reinstall of the rom (do a factory reset first) & do not restore system apps & in particular do not restore system data. Ideally, you'd do a clean install of all your apps too.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chamillikawi:
Thanks, will try that.. But I did a full wipe and re-installed the same custom ROM I'm on and nothing changed!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
I understand that. And the reason you need to test it out on stock is to see if it's a problem with that custom rom or possibly something else.

Interesting reading...

http://blogs.sonymobile.com/wp/2012/03/30/learn-about-the-technical-differences-between-gingerbread-and-ics/
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] arcaneck:
and now what?

I read all the article and now im confuse, is going to be stable or is not going to be? and if this really worth it or not?

it says a lot of things that i didnt know hehe and now and we should do? update or stay with gingerbread:(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ThilinaC:
Well we can always use flashtool to move back if official ICS is not stable as GB
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] zmbutt:
they are suggesting to keep using GB as ICS is more Ram dependant and you won't see any amazing improvements.

I don't understand why they are fooling their customers ? Since Neo L will have ICS out of the Box and our Neo /V have same hardware, so why its hard for other products with same hardware ? Please Sony Care to explain ? :O
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Curst:
Well it softened my ICS-stiffy a bit and lessened my expectations. I think its great that they are honest about the fact that we might not see huge improvements and in fact might have worse performance in some areas.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Pandemic:
We shall see what ICS have for use, but sorry mate, but how we will learn of we have only the Beta version right now, we gonna learn if we have the final on our Xperia Neo/Neo V
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Curst:
Updated – comment from the Developer World team:

We we would like to clarify that above mentioned “challenges” have already been addressed by our SW engineering teams. For instance, we have not only optimised the RAM management by making the RAM usage for internal apps as good as possible, but we will also introduce a Performance assistant at start up when running ICS. In this Performance assistant, you can enable and disable certain services that you might not want to run on your phone, in order to optimise the performance of your phone.

We have also worked with quite a few partners in regards to architecture optimisations for SQL handling. In addition, we have also optimised the hardware usage. And as a result of this article, a number of app developers have notified us that they are evaluating if HW optimisation will be needed or not for their apps.

The aim of this article was to share our knowledge regarding the different characteristics for ICS and Gingerbread in an open way, as we strive to have an open communication with the developer community. All in all, we would like to point out that it’s our clear aim to deliver an as good ICS update as ever possible. As you might have seen on the Sony Xperia Product Blog, we’re not far from releasing it now. Thanks for all the feedback!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] rizkywingrove:
thanks, really good info for me :thumbup:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] johnraziel:
I really want to try the ICS Beta ROM released by sony to see how much RAM it would eat, but to do that, I should unlock my boot loader which would void my warranty right? I wonder why in sony's page, they give instructions on how to unlock the bootloader of our android phones while it'll void our warranty. I hope they just put an ICS Beta firmware OTA or via PCC and have an option to update/upgrade or not and it should be reversible. They should include a restore firmware option in the PCC just incase ICS doesnt work right for our dear X-Neo phones

[Galaxy S II Accessories] boypinoy18:
you'd be amazed at how many fakes are out there, riddling ebay with claims of authenticity.

i bought 3 beats by dre pro headphones with a CES discount direct from monster, and sold 2 on ebay. the first was skeptical, the second claimed they were fake. i had to actually call and talk to the person, as well as send an email filled with details to distinguish fakes and true headphones.

my last one is collecting dust. they're great at a discount price, but not the retail price.

[Galaxy S II Accessories] amus76:
With the lack of "TM", the strange colors, the picture of Dre, I think they are fake :s

I hope I'm wrong and paranoid
[Galaxy S II Accessories] RoRo1990:
No offense but why do people buy beats by dre? They seem overpriced for what else is in the same price range.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] amus76:
Soooo no offense, but how is it related to the topic?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] RoRo1990:
Are you like 14 years old. It is relevant this topic is about beats I had a question but it seems you got offended cause from reading your signature you use beats audio. Btw I put you on my ignore list:)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] amus76:
If you know how to read and search: I have Beats audio mode (placebo or not, I feel a difference) WITH Voodoo Louder (a hack) AND an AKG K518DJ

So go on Google, search "AKG K518DJ" and you'll know

And it's not relevant, because the dude has already order and just wants an advice if it's fake or not and not about the quality of Beats that I agree is overrated and is a piece of marketing (for me)

[Desire HD General] :
For the very first time I tried a stock ICS ROM, it showed exchange calendar

but since the next one no ROM gets exchange calendar while exchange contacts work well on every ROM.

Since the second ROM I flashed , once I somehow managed to get it right struggling with calendar app but I don't know how I exactly did that and still the problem was that it had not recognized the calendar after initial addition of an account.

The server is not the problem because Sense4 ICS ROMs and GiB ROMs have no problem getting exchange calendars.

Any idea about this problem?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Schwabie64:
After seeing the themed Google store it got me wondering if their was a way to trick the store into thinking I was using a different phone than my r800x so that I could legally download Backstab and other games that are supposedly only incompatible with the r800x but available for the other versions of the Xperia Play.

And I have tried market unlocker to no avail. Unless I used it improperly.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozzmanj1:
Yes, I do it all the time to get games from other countries... you have to be rooted and you have to modify your phone build.prop to look like a phone for whatever country you wish to gain access to, this does not always work by the way.... but I have had some success... but to be honest its a pain in the ass to constantly have to keep multiple backups for build.props for different phones from different countries. Always having to move the modded build over then reboot and hope it works...

[Nook Touch General] Draygon:
Hello,

I'm new to the Nook Simple Touch and received it today. It's awesome so far!

1. Could someone tell me how I install CWM with it, is there a guide? I can't find any guide on the development section on xda, sorry.

2. Also, what is the best method to root my NST? Touch Nooter or Minimal Touch or another one?

3. Is there a stock ROM somewhere? I would want it, if I want to set my Nook back to the default settings and wipe everything if I'll mess it up somehow.

4. Can I update to the latest version 1.1.2 if I want to

+ root it

+ install CWM

+ install the multitouch function from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1563645

Is everything of this working with 1.1.2 or do I need 1.1.0?

5. And my last question is, what's the difference betwen N2E and NST in the development thread? (I know, NST = Nook Simple Touch, but what is N2E? I thought it's also the Nook Simple Touch)

I'm really, really sorry for those questions, but I'd be very happy if someone could answer them. I don't want to make something wrong with my beloved NST. :)

Thanks in advance!

Greetings,

Draygon
[Nook Touch General] Googie2149:
Welcome to the community!

Before you do anything, you're going to want to backup your Nook. Each Nook contains information specific to that Nook, such as the MAC address, serial number, etc., so this backup will be what will restore you to a stock out-of-the-box Nook. Just make sure you have an external card reader to write noogie.img to the SD card.

CWM is here, but there's no real reason to install it to the device itself. It's easier to install it to an SD card and just put that in when you need it. There's no custom ROMS yet, and it's better to use the backup you made earlier (hopefully).

Also, for rooting and installing multi-touch, I made a mini quick-start guide here.

For the most part, we haven't noticed much difference between rooting 1.1.0 vs. 1.1.2. And N2E stands for Nook Second Edition (this Nook came first).

Enjoy your Nook!
[Nook Touch General] Draygon:
Hello Googie, Thanks a lot for your answer, they helped me a lot! :)

For sure I'll do the backup at frst. ;)

Am I able to use N2E from the development forum on the NST? (like touchnooter?)

So, it's safe to update to 1.1.2 and root it? Because I have seen a few people on this forum complaning about bugs with a rooted 1.1.2, which aren't there with a rooted 1.1.0, such as that the search function is not working in the play stote with a rooted 1.1.2.

Would you recommend touch nooter or minimal touch?
[Nook Touch General] Googie2149:
The N2E is simply another name for NST, so it's safe to use anything with that name.

There's not much difference between 1.1.2 and 1.1.0. B&N just addressed some WiFi issues with this update, not much has changed otherwise. And Google caused the searching issues by replacing Market with Google Play, it's just coincidence that the update came out when Google changed it.

I myself use Minimal Touch, but I haven't tried TouchNooter before. TouchNooter has some extra things with it (like a tool that under-clocks the CPU when it's not in use to save battery), but some times it fails to install correctly. And there's also the possibility that Market just won't work for 24 hours... but it's broken anyway.
[Nook Touch General] Draygon:
Thanks again for the answers. :)

There's just one problem I have, which won't let me backup my NST:

From this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1142983

I want to use the guide to backup the NST for windows 7 (post #2),

There's a big problem: the link to the noogie.img (which should be here: http://nookdevs.com/NookTouch_Rooting) was deleted.

1. Where can I get this noogie.img now? Could someone please upload it?

2. And the next problem is, how do I boot the noogie.img, if I have it? jocala just wrote, that you have to boot it. Not, how to boot it.

Thanks in advance! :)
[Nook Touch General] cceerrtt:

burn the image it to sdcard, switch off your nook, plug in sdcard and turn nook on.

[Nook Touch General] Efemmeral:
Are there any requirements that a microSD card must fill when used for this purpose? I have two fail notches on my lipstick case.

The first time I pulled a 256mb microSD card from an old phone; fail. Later I read it is recommended to use a Class 6 or greater. I bought a Class 10. Again, fail.

The adapter is electrically passive so that should not be a factor, right?
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
I never pay attention to that class stuff.

I always buy the Micro Center brand 4GB at $5.50 because they are only $1.50 more than 2GB.

Apparently they are Class 4.
[Nook Touch General] Efemmeral:
Thank you, Renate NST. Then my problem lies elsewhere.

Between WinImage and Win32DiskImager has either shown a higher success rate for this project? Is one generally preferred by the community?
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
I use Win32DiskImager.

I've got about 10 different backups on my hard drive right now.

I've bricked my Nook multiple times trying to hack internals and restored from backup.

My backups end up by being 1,957,616,640 in size.

I don't use Clockwork or anything.
[Nook Touch General] Efemmeral:
Thank you for providing the file size, that was helpful.

Is it odd that that the second backup (using noogie.img and DiskImage_1_6_WinAll.exe) was almost twenty-five times larger than the first? 79,675,392 verses 1,958,739,968.
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
If your backups are about 1.9xx Gigs then you are correctly backing up the entire physical internal memory of the Nook.

If your backups are 70 Megs or so you are either backing up only one of the 7 partitions on the Nook or

else you are backing up your SD card with Noogie on it.

Note:

After writing a Noogie image to an SD card you will find that the total size of the SD card has been reduced to 70 Megs or so.

To reclaim the entire size of the SD card for other uses you will need some tool like Partition Magic.

Windows Disk Management can not by itself repartition SD cards.
[Nook Touch General] brendan10211:
There's also something out there called SD formatter.
[Nook Touch General] Googie2149:
Or once you have your Nook running, you can just format it from that.
