No problems, pretty crisp screen, smooth playback through everything. Love my dock, it serves as a entertainment backup center for my game room. HDMI and audio also works just as well. Just wanted to give my two cents.

If you don't have tethering enabled on your account that would explain why it is turning itself off. It calls home to Momma first. You can fix it if your phone is rooted.

What .apk do you freeze/delete to do this the tendering one is different from ics and gb.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] techntrek:
I haven't done it since I have the 5 GB plan w/tethering, but I believe you have to freeze the Tethering Manager.

That is for GB. I believe it is different in ICS. I know I've seen the file somewhere in browsing of posts, but can't remember where. When i do a search it pulls up all phones forums. Can we do an advanced search through browser? Will check later.

Didn't mean to say geometry spell check changed it
[Kindle Fire General] Dasanko:
Chrome doesn't work in most ICS ROMs because it requires HWA, which they don't have yet.

The new kernel 3.0 that's in development/testing does support HWA, but it's ridden with bugs, so it's not a very good idea to flash its ROM unless you really want to test it.
[Kindle Fire General] CjamesL:
But ive gotten it to work on both cm9/7
[Kindle Fire General] BrooksBlood:
If you gotten it to work on cm9 then please share how, because again with the lack of hwa in any of the 2.x.x kernels there is no way that you have gotten it to work. The only kernel that provides hwa at the moment is hashcodes 3.0 kernel which has been released for testing and development and is no where near complete. So with this said you may have gotten it to work on a cm7 rom but no way on a cm9 rom without a 3.0 kernel that is still in development.
[Kindle Fire General] CjamesL:
I'm on ics (feb 24) right now and its working fine
[Kindle Fire General] SupremeRadicals:
Screenshots?
[Kindle Fire General] BrooksBlood:
Like the post above says, where's the screenshots because this is simply impossible without hardware acceleration!! Why do you think hashcode has been working on the 3.0 kernel in the first place? You might as well tell us that you have Netflix working too haha. Not trying to be a douche but I'm telling you it doesn't work with 2.x.x kernels. If you don't believe me go over to hashcodes new user thread in the general section and look at the original post. One of the very first things he instructs users to test to see if the new kernel has any changes is to download the chrome and see if it works.
[Kindle Fire General] DJLamontagneIII:
yea im gonna have to claim BS without the screenshots
[Kindle Fire General] eldarerathis:
That doesn't look like Chrome...at least not any version or combination of settings that I've ever seen.
[Kindle Fire General] CjamesL:
I could be wrong but that's what it says
[Kindle Fire General] Regionativo:
That's not Chrome, its a browser called Miren (http://miren-browser.en.softonic.com/android), the icon is somewhat similar to chrome, but the similarities end there.
[Kindle Fire General] BrooksBlood:
That is definitely not Google chrome.
[Kindle Fire General] Hashcode:
To clarify: Chrome uses RenderScript extensively. And the 2.6.35 kernel's graphics libraries (from Gingerbread) don't support it very well. Hence Chrome is buggy for almost all Gingerbread kernel-based ICS builds.

The reason Chrome works in the new 3.0 kernel build is that the graphics libraries are brand new and support RenderScript perfectly. Hardware codecs are still not running correctly in the new kernel (among a pleathora of other things).

So the difference for Chrome is RenderScript support and not hardware codecs.

Here are some screenshots of Chrome

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] LoboJim:
Hola, as you can see from my post total I'm totally new to this forum. I recently received a 8gb Nook Tablet (NT) from my kids for my birthday.

I really enjoy the book reading experience but find the app experience less than perfect. I've been an iOS user for a while and have come to expect cheap, free apps to testdrive before purchasing. I understand the way to do this on my NT is to hack the device to allow unfettered access to Android Marketplace / Google Play.

I understand there are a couple of ways to do this.

1) Hack (root?) the internal memory of the NT and load a new ... (ROM? Image? OS?) I think this is what Albertwertz and his root SD card is doing.

2) Use an SD card and boot from the SD card. This does not touch the Nook OS and does not void warranty.

Since I am not really sure what I'm doing, not voiding the warranty seems like a pretty good idea.

One of the Nook dudes at B&N told me about NtoA cards and that sounded like just what I was looking for. However, after doing some research on (mostly) this site, I've learned that the N2A guys are just reselling the work that's being done on this site. I don't think the price is unreasonable, but I'd rather get things working on my own and then donate to the team that did the work.

So, I've been reading all afternoon and think I have an understanding of what needs to be done.

Can it really be this simple?

1- Buy SD card (micro SDHC 4gb)

will class 10 provide any upside? Or is class 4 ok

2- Download Team-B-CM7SD-Alpha-final.img.zip from this post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1481826

3- Download win32diskimager-binary.zip from the same post. (hoping there's an installer in the zip)

4- Image the SD card with win32diskimager. (from Vista 32)

5- Power off my NT, insert SD and I should be good to go.

Is it really that simple? I'm not sure what it will look like when I boot into CM7 but I'm assuming I will see something that will allow me to log into my google account and get my app on.

If I'm missing a step, please let me know. Thanks for all the help!

j
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Solar.Plexus:
Your steps look good to me. There is an installer in the. zip.

You should be okay with a class 4 SD card, that's always what I use. There was a thread somewhere on XDA giving benchmarks for different SD cards and it showed that in some cases, class 4 cards actually performed better.

Don't be worried if you see black screen for an extended time the first time you boot, this is normal.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] drymer:
Yep, it's that easy. Be warned though, if you power on after making the sd card and it boots into stock, power it off and plug it into the wall/PC and see if it boots into cm7, some work without the power, some don't.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Cubanluke88:
If and when a custom recovery comes out for the 8gb nook tablet, I'd definitely consider installing internally. It technically voids the warranty but this things pretty easy to return to stock.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] LoboJim:
I am kinda surprised at how inexpensive the MicroSD cards are. Does anyone know of a tool I can use to expand the storage partition on the SD Card (after imaging the card with the Team-B image)? I've seen a few people talking about it but everyone does it with Linux. Is there a freeware tool for us Vista or Win7 users?

Also, when I boot from the SD card, do I have access to the internal storage on NT? Or do I need to plan on all my storage going to the card?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] LoboJim:
I figured I'd take that on after becoming more familiar with the platform and Android OS.

Glad I found this forum to help me through it when I'm ready!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Cubanluke88:
Some reading material

You seem like you're willing to put in the effort to really learn this stuff, so definitely take a look at that link and just read, read, read and read some more when doing this stuff. That guide is a nice place to get familiar with what some of the terms are/what you'd be doing.

As for getting more space on the sdcard, I know others have managed it (I boot internally, so have no experience here). There might be a guide for it, I'll have a look. Hopefully someone can help you out if not.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] eggwardo:
I don't know about a windows program, but what you can do is make a USB version of ubuntu (linux) which will run ubuntu on your windows machine while the usb stick is in. Just go to ubuntu's download page to learn how to do this.

Then once you have ubuntu you can download gparted and fix the partitions on your sd card with that.

Or there might be a windows program. :p But having a ubuntu usb stick can come in handy. I have my computer dual booted and i seem to be using ubuntu more and more.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Solar.Plexus:
I recommend either MiniTool Partition Wizard or EASEUS Partition Master for Windows, both are freeware. Both are able to extend the 4th partition (user data partition) to consume the remaining unallocated space of your card.

Unfortunately, the NT's actual internal storage is not accessible when running the ROM from SD. The "internal storage" on the SD ROM is represented by the 3rd partition that the Team-B image creates (this partition is formatted as Ext4).
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] LoboJim:
Funny you should mention that, I was going to do some searching tonite to see if there was a portable version of Ubunto (or similar).

thanks!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] LoboJim:
Well, then I definitely need to get a bigger SD card. I guess the internal storage will still be used for books bought through B&N. At least until I try and install a ROM internally.

thanks!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] spcagigas:
@LoboJim take a look at LiLi for portable Linux installations (http://www.linuxliveusb.com). It's a very easy tool for creating bootable linux thumb drives -- pretty much as simple as plugging in a thumb drive and selecting a distro.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] NikkieL:
Regarding the internal partition, have you gone in to BN to have it repartitoned? I decided to "let" BN do since I'm still under warrenty. That opened up 8gb for personal use.

I found that EASUS worked for me to re-partition the sdcard.

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droid_<3er:
Hey guys,

I'm running the March 30 version of Quarx's Defy+ builds for CM9. All went well,

except a little scare solved by the battery fix, but the Google Apps package won't work. This CM9 build comes with CWM v5.0.5, and when i try the gapps package (the google apps name is gapps-ics-20120317-signed.zip) it says "installation aborted" after trying to open the update package.

Then I realized that on this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1432100that I had got my stuff from said that the gapps package was for 4.0.3, which wasn't right cause i am on 4.0.4.

That prompted some further research, but I can't find a gapps package for 4.0.4! all of the gapps zips are for 4.0.3! Anyone find one that works for 4.0.4 CM9?

Any help is appreciated.

Just incase you guys stopped trying to get ics work on your inc2...

I think the problem was solved with new kernel from aeroevan.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] RegnierD:
Thanks for the lead! I'll give it a shot. Is it his v9 kernel, and on what rom/what installation procedures? What were you running before you flashed, which recovery and how did you wipe? Sorry to bombard you with questions, just trying to minimize variables.

Also, could anyone explain how to merge a kernel into whatever rom I'm about to flash so it's included from the get-go?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] pyg1991:
Yeah, it was v9 kernel.

I'm not sure which rom i was running... I was trying so many roms.. i kinda lost track.. it was one of sense 3.5 roms tho. I am using 5.0.2.0 recovery and I did full wipe.

Let me know if it solved problem for your device as well :P
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] snaber69:
I just tried and it still doesn't work for me. Steps I took. (hopefully I did something wrong)

Used 4EXT

factory reset

format all partitions (except sdcard)

install aero 4-7 rom

install v9 kernal

rebooted

I use MikRunny v1.01 as my daily.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] RegnierD:

hopefully, the problem gets solved for all of us :((

I just tried [ROM][21 Apr]SenseMOD FlashONE v1.1 [AROMA][Primadonna Kernel]

and it worked. So I don't know what is different under the hood from the Aero builts but maybe this is a start to figuring out what is going on.

---------- Post added at 07:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:13 PM ----------

So follow up to my last post. I decided to try aero's built. I did a factory reset and then flashed aero's 4-7 build (didn't have the 4-20 built on the sd card and usb wasn't working with the other rom. I then flashed the gapps 3-17 and this time it worked. Going to flash the 4-20 build over top right now and see.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PlantationCane:
I have been running the C&C rom since I got my gtab about six months ago. It is the only rom I have flashed. With all the excitement over the ICS I reread all the instructions and flashed it over the weekend.

I suspect I did something wrong. Everything is slow... downloads, opening apps, performing functions in apps, etc.

The instructions I had the most difficulty with were the partitions, first 4096m/0 then 2048m/0. I also used the nvflash with the cmw that was recommended.

My question is what should I look at to troubleshoot? I doubt ICS is this slow.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fosser2:
Did you do this?

HOW TO INSTALL

Boot into current version of CWM and "Wipe data/factory reset"

Partition Internal SD Card (2048M/0)

Turn tablet off

Download the following file <--- Seriously don't skip this step unless you are 100% positive that you have a 250M system partition

NVFLASH the file following the instructions that are included for Windows/Linux users

Upon reboot of tablet let T&T fully boot and then shut it down

Reboot into recovery

Flash the Rom/Gapps

Enjoy

If not try doing that, and shoot me reply if you have any more questions about it.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PlantationCane:
The only difference that I see is that I did the following partition on the internal sd card, first 4096m/0 then 2048m/0. which made little sense but I blindly followed.

I have very little experience so I followed the instructions and the sequence very carefully.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fosser2:
You do have to remember that this ICS rom is in beta. It is not a perfect rom even though I wish it was. Try removing DSP manager from your rom and see if that frees up any cpu usage.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] chat2004:
Hi all,

I use usb cable to transfer game data to TF101 (around 1GB, 4500 files), but it's too slow (take almost 2 hours).

Have you got this problem? Copy 1 file is OK (1GB), but what problem with large amount of file?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Danzano:
I guess its because multiple files all have to go through one by one
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Goatshocker:
Its normal. Flash chips arent very good at handle small files, and the TF is no exception. In fact, its quite bad.

Even my SSD Disc, which is capable of writing files at ~550MB/sec, struggles with a lot of small files, down to speeds as low as 10MB/sec.

Theres nothing you can do about it. Its just the way flash chips works today.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] chat2004:
But it's strange that Samsung GS II do much faster than my TF101.

And also HTC HD2 (around 15-20 min).

I have tested, copy to internal memory and sdcard have the same problem (use usb cable).
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Elentirmo74:
Slow transfer speeds when connected via USB do sound familiar. But it seems this is not caused by a slow SD card. If I plug the MicroSD card into the card reader of my laptop, transfer speed is much higher than copying data to said card when connected via USB and plugged into my Transformer.

Seems the bottleneck is the MTP protokoll or the Transformer itself.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Goatshocker:
Its not strange. Those devices have faster flash memory than the TF.

Also, the cardreader in the TF is also very slow, compared to your average card reader for a PC/laptop.

Even the card reader in my N7B is slightly faster than the TF, despite being more than half the price of a TF.

Using ADB to transfer files, the N7B manages an average of 5.2MB/sec, while the TF only manages around 4.8MB/sec using the same card (class 4 iirc). It may not sound like a huge difference, but calculate that on a large file and the speed difference is a lot more noticable.

The TF is faster than the N7B on small files though, thanks to the faster CPU, but not by much, only around 0.2MB/sec difference.

TL;DR The TF's cardreader and flash memory sucks.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] raduque:
MTP sucks too. It was much faster to transfer files in HC using USB Mass Storage mode.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] TacoSandwich85:
You might want to try TeraCopy if you have a PC. Set it as the default handler for file management/file explorer and transferring data should be much faster. Good luck.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Goatshocker:
I wouldnt know, I only use adb to transfer files and, to my knowledge, MTP doesnt affect that.

But yes, mass storage is always preferable to any other sad excuse for filetransfer (if not using adb, that is)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] VolcyDX:
I have noticed this as well. Always chalked it up to the fact I was moving files to an external MicroSd card.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] kiama:
use wifi and ftp sharing mode (file expert)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Super Prince:
I think I've read somewhere here in this forum before that the problem in the slow file transfer occur because of the honeycomb file system which i think it's the same as ics. you can search about this .

For me this is very annoying , usually I mount my sd card in laptop and copy my files because this is much faster than copying directly to the tablet via usb. With my galaxy note i do not need to do that , Note's MTP is very fast.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Goatshocker:
Heh funny thing.. I reformatted my PC yesterday, now I cant get speeds higher than 2MB/sec using adb, compared to at least 4MB/sec before :p

**** knows whats wrong, as Im using the same usb port and drivers as always :p
