[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] kmdub:
No problem. We are all hoping the Blaze has what we need for Google Wallet. Actually, it does make a bit of sense to have less features on a newer phone when you look at it from a manufacturing and marketing perspective. Blaze - mid-range; Nexus - high-end. At the time of release of course. NFC technology has been available for a while now, it is not new. Sure, it is becoming mainstream now, but it is about cost and marketing.

I still don't think you quite understand what a secure element is. Yes, in fact, they do have a separate OS with its own memory and cryptoprocessor. Don't think of OS in terms of hundreds of MB of Android. Think RTOS that fits in multiple KB. Seriously, read more. It doesn't work like you think it does.

An NFC chip, just like any other modern piece of silicon can have multiple microcontrollers/processors/etc, each having distinct functions, and sometimes running distinct controlling software. I will say it again, the NFC chip may have a secure element integrated with it, but that does not make the NFC microcontroller itself the secure element. It may have a secure element, but it is not itself the secure element. Modern smartphones generally have multiple OS's on them, sometimes on one chip, as is the case with the Blaze. No offense intended, but please read more about this, because I think there is some misunderstanding.

Sorry, I come off as a bit terse. I just don't want anyone to misunderstand.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] mdneilson:
Yep, you're right. The diagram that I was looking at before was wrong - crappy sources. I found this one that shows it has a micro-controller, not just memory. I have a computer science degree, so I have the technical knowledge, but apparently I suck at finding good sources. I'm a bit confused now how they had such problems with eavesdropping on the app. I'll have to read more on it if I can find the time.

I am a iPhone user who is going to make the switch. I had an lg nitro, which I took back. One of the things that I thought was odd with the android market is that you can't rent HD movies like I can in ITunes . Will I be able to rent HD movies from Google Play or will I have to rip from Blu ray and resize and put on the phone?

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Hunt3r.j2:
Some, but they cost more. You're best off ripping from Blu Ray or DVD and compressing to under 4 GB to watch it. All video formats should be supported without issue, especially with MX Video Player.

Yes, there is a hard limit of 4 GB as a result of formatting the internal user storage as FAT32 for USB Mass Storage support. The only other option is exFAT which isn't compatible with many OSes, or ext4 which is likely to be unsupported.

Do I have to flash a certain kernel that's compatible with the rom?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mdfzhi:
use the kernel inside the flashable zip file.

but for me the new kernel in the new FXP116 doesnt work, got stuck on booting. i'm using the old kernel from FXP115 and its still works fine with FXP116

Okay so I got the CM9 to work, tried running first the FXP115 before flashing the FXP116 just to make a comparison.

Second after playing around with the FXP115, I now went inside CWM to flash the the dual speaker fix . Then rebooted the phone, now its getting stuck on the Cyanogen(Mod)9 boot animation screen...

Did the same thing for FXP116 and it never gets passed the CM9 boot animation screen... Dunno whats going on after applying the speaker fix :(

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] W.Feather:
Anyone else here get their G.nexus from Newegg? Did you get Insurance? Is it worth it? - I got mine last week, thinking i should probably look at getting the ADH one (can get 30 days prior to purchase i believe) since it cant be warrantied from the US i believe ?

Thanks for any info.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sinfamy:
I bought it off newegg and purchased the $50 insurance. Hopefully its not a rip off, but I can't take the risk of only a 90 day warranty.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] W.Feather:
was the $50 the 2 year one?

ALso do you have a link to the specific coverage? I looked around a bit and couldnt tell for sure since it was all very general info. ive found so far
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sinfamy:
1 Year, and you should find the link for it in your account, as extended warranty.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] W.Feather:
cool, thanks, found it in there. looking @ it now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] W.Feather:
For anyone else who may search in the future, so far i've found out that I have up to 60 days from date of purchase to add the coverage. Found out that to see if I can extend it later (say get 1yr now, if i want another year before its up....) i have to contact the company providing it, the newegg rep didnt know and said to contact the other company.

Hello I need some help.

I have been searching the forums to see if anyone has been able to install an ICS Rom on an SGS I9000T. As you might know it all about the 850mhz band for 3G and NextG (H). I have stock GB 2.3.3 JV8 firmware installed and my phone is rooted as well, but I have not been able to find any kernel that fits the stock rom to be able to have CWM Recovery. Can anyone please help? I really want to have ICS installed, but I have no clue on how to install it and I have not been able to find anything in the forums. Sorry for the noob question... Thanks!!!:)

Ohh yeah I meant the tools as well. How's the g2x so far, have u tried any roms?

Btw if I decide to do this trade let's have a thread in the marketplace. Not saying now though and I have no feedback so I'll have to ship first.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Atruss12:
shall do my friend! Have had it for about 6-7 hours now and I love it. Display is fantastic (despite the digitizer haha) but phone won't make a sound or vibrate when text is received.. vibration and sound work everywhere else though. Even as I type. Rom wise I'm on eagles blood ics aosp right now and works fantastic. Came from cm9 though. Like eagles blood. How do you wipe the internal SD, without a computer, if possible?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Atruss12:
This sucker flies .. smoothness is amazing
[T-Mobile LG G2x] moeahmad1995:
Vibration might just be because of an app u downloaded. Some apps take control over that like some music apps and mms apps, Or you have to enable it in the messaging app settings. Also I'm no expert but can't u just delete everything with a file explorer? I just wiped everything recently so I can try again.

Edit: I think the internal SD is under mnt, emmc, so u can delete everything with a file manager. Someone nor knowledgeable should help you out with that. Btw, if u wanna see this phone fly, run Hellfire Phoenix
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Atruss12:
alright. Appreciate the advice. New to this device and such. Never had to deal with an internal SD like this.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] moeahmad1995:
Yeah it is weird, on stock roms it recognizes the internal as the SD card.

Do you have any sports games?

Modifications to the boot files to make it possible for these hacks to work on the 8gb Nook Tablet were made by Meghd00t at this thread

Notes: If you have an 8gb NT, Do not use the recovery flasher app to flash CWM and replace stock recovery, just work off of the cwm on the bootable SD card. There is currently not an easy way to revert back to stock recovery for the 8gb NT.

Card Type ?

Hello :)

First off of course is to thank the folks who make these options available to us !!! I can stress enough how much I appreciate this material.

The question: Locally atm I can get some 8 GB microsd cards in the class 4 (cheaper) or 10 variants. For making the root card, and also for making the R3 card is a class 4 card fine ? Or is a class 10 a far better option ?

I've done considerable reading and some vid watching so far and am gathering my materials to begin work on my NT :)

Very exciting stuff !
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Solar.Plexus:
I recommend a Class 4 SanDisk card. SanDisk seems to be a brand that is pretty reliable in the NT.

As for the classes, a Class 4 should suit you just fine. All that a class number tells the consumer is the sequential read/write speeds (copying and moving files for example.)

The SD card attribute that we NT users should be looking at is the 4IN random read/write speeds. The faster this is, the smoother a ROM running from that SD card should be.

If you're more interested, you can test the speeds of your SD cards by using a PC program called CrystalDiskMark.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] WarZ4XDA:
B&N Repartition ?

Hiya - another Q :

Considering running in to B&N real quick and doing their repartition before I get started. If I read correctly I should still be able to use the created microsd card to root etc. In particular was planning to do the R3 card at the moment.

Is that a worthwhile move ? Does the root open up all that protected storage anyways making the B&N repartition a moot point ? If I wasnt rooting I'd do this anyways. Does the repartition change what rooting options are available to me from others ? For example I see a number of options where they state that it works only for the 16 GB version and not the 8 GB version. If I do this repartition is my nook now considered in the 8 GB class when considering root options ? Or will it be considered in the 16 GB class always even with the B&N reparition ?

TY for all replies !
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Solar.Plexus:
Okay, so a couple of things to say here.

Your 16GB NT will always have the 16GB rooting/custom ROM options, changing the partitions will not reduce your options (unless you manage to mess up the partitions somehow).

Whether you do a manually repartition and choose how much storage you want allocated OR you take your NT into Barnes and Noble, you will still be able to run the R3 card.

Barnes and Noble's repartition only frees up half of the internal data space which turns out to be a little less than 8GB I believe. A simple root will NOT open up any more storage space than before unless you repartition.

If you'd like to do the manual repartition, I can go find the link for you. If you're not comfortable doing that, you'd best head over to the local B&N and have them do it for you.

Error While Making Backup

UPDATE:

I did get it to backup. I vaguely remembered reading somewhere about swapping to a different card for backup for size. So I tried another card and the backup completed. So looks like I was just running into a wall of not enough room on the card. For the life of me I just couldnt find that post or info again after that, lol. Yes I am a noob and thanks for bearing with me.

I've also successfully loaded / changed to a bunch of ROM's so far as well. Checked out CM7b, the default 999 on card, and then finally went back and did a basic root on my v143 backed up rom. I've stopped at the rooted v143 for tonight because of time and to ease myself into the changes.

So I'm mostly set so far :)

2 Questions:

1) The video states that NT Hidden Settings needs to be updated in order to gain the OTA blocker. However when I visit google play it doesnt show "update" as an option. And I dont see the OTA entries in settings that the video says I should see. I saw in another thread that someone noted this as well, but didnt see a reply.

2) On the video I see the version as CWM-based Recovery v5.5.0.4

In the R3 I created from the files current as of yesterday I see it as v5.0.2.8

Does that mean the version on my R3 is older than the one used in the video ? Or am I just misinterpreting the version numbers.

---------------------------------

Original Posting below:

Was near B&N today and as per the previous post decided to just let them do partition and reinstall to save myself that step. And to have the option to backup my nook to stock with the already set repartition in case I want to go back in the future. They did the repartition and reset. She went through the update to v1.4.3 before I realized she was at it. However I read that this works with 1.4.3 anyways so didnt fret too much. So upon leaving and back at home the nook was all repartition and 'hunky dorey' :)

Used an 8 GB Scan Disk class 10 MicroSD card (was on sale and almost as much as a 4).

Followed the instructions and apparently successfully made the R3 Card.

Booted up into CWM fine without needing the power cord.

Menu'ed to 'backup and restore', then to 'backup', device goes through a lot of the process before eventually giving the error:

Error while making a backup image of /data!

Update : Figured it out - see above :)

Starting Point

I have searched through the threads on this and in Development. Does the starting point for using this ROM need to be stock B&N or can I start from CM7 and flash this and have it replace the current ROM? One method is shorter than the other but if it doesn't get me to where I want to end up there is no point. Thanks (be semi gentle if I missed a previous reference that answers my question)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Cubanluke88:
What exactly do you want to do?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] RhinoNelson:
I am currently running CM7 and want to switch to Alberts v4.7 ROM. I vacilate - primarily because of Netflix and other videos I download and watch - between the two options. I used his v4.6 prior to CM7 and didn't keep a backup so the process is more involved now.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Solar.Plexus:
As long as both ROMs can use the same kernel, you can flash over your current ROM to switch to the new one. Just be sure to use the proper ClockWork Mod flashing instructions.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jerbedn:
Can anybody answer these 2 questions - please - or point us to the answer.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Solar.Plexus:
1. I think OTA blocking was added to the app later on.

2. It could be that you're using an earlier version of CWM. I've used the first version ever released on my NT16 and haven't had any trouble.

Looks cool. I second the request but it does mean that the devs setup some kind of server to check it instead of just uploading the ROM. It also means more testing for the ROM's before you can simply put it up to prevent bricks, so I guess it would not work for all beta's

Rooted rom with FSKaren

I just heard back from the developer/porter for the AOKP ASUS rom. He was very kind but unfortunately said, "Japanese isn't one of the included languages by Asus and is only supported on the full Japanese version of their stock software" So for now I flashed back to the original rom so i can still type with my dock in Japanese. I searched Japanese blogs and forums as well but only found interest in getting a Japanese keyboard supported rom. If anyone is interested in doing a rom with Japanese support I would be happy to do testing. I am not a programmer but I have been flashing roms with CWM for a while and fairly confident as long as there are some directions to read..
