[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NCKevo:
I don't think it's possible without root. I haven't played around with it much myself, but I think that by default you can only access the B&N appstore. I do not know if you can side-load apk's on the default OS. Usually, people root to get access to the google market instead of just B&N's appstore, and after that they can get all their apps back (with the google account, of course).

As per rooting - you can:

1) root stock, at which point you're still running B&N's OS, but can install other apps, etc. I've never done this so don't know how smooth this is.

2) run CM7/9 from the SD card (with root permissions) while maintaining the B&N OS on the nook (with/without root permissions) again, which will let you run all your previously purchased apps. I ran this way for ~6 months last year, I found it fairly smooth, a little lag when swiping screens or pulling up the app drawer, but not unbearably slow and not for typing.

3) Run CM7/9 off of the internal memory, replacing B&N's OS. Now it's basically an android tablet with no memory of it's previous corporate masters, so you can get your apps back, etc. What lag I had when running off of the SD card disappeared when I switched to internal memory. Also, the ROM's have just gotten better with time, so they're more stable and faster.

One thing you may have issues with is that the google play store tries to determine 'app compatibility with your device' - so if it doesn't think an app is compatible it won't let you download and install it. You can get around this if you have an old Ti:Backup of your apps lying around, or if you have another device that is compatible then you can transfer the apk from there.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J515OP:
+1 to what NCKevo said.

A little more info about rooting. You need it for adding non-B&N apps. It runs just as smooth as stock. There is no change other than you have root access which allows you to do many things including access to the Google Play store (and your previously purchased apps), Amazon App Store, new home launchers etc.

Running from a bootable SD card the smoothness depends on the particular micro SD card you use. SanDisk class 4 generally work the best in the Nook Color and with a good card (based on small block read/write performance) you can't tell the difference between running on the card and internal memory.

Using a custom CM7 or CM9 ROM you will also have the ability to overclock (up to 1.2GHz from the stock 800Mhz) built right in. Far from being sluggish or laggy you will get about 4 times the stock performance. Keep in mind this is still a budget tablet though with "older" hardware and the Nook Color is never going to be a lightening fast $800 tablet equivalent. It will blow the doors off any other $100 tablet though.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mhuffman_81:
Thank you for your replies.

The sluggishness that I experienced on my Droid with the Cyanogen Roms was primarily the app drawer. If I ever had a force close or sometimes without a force close when opening up the app drawer it would be empty for 10-20 seconds and then slowly my apps would load in 1 by 1.

I want to avoid that and avoid voiding my warranty. I wouldn't mind doing one of the above that does not replace the stock OS. Preferably just keep the original OS and add the Google Market capability. Is that something that can be undone in the event of a warranty issue?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J515OP:
Everything on the Nook Color can be undone as long as it isn't physically broken. If it is then they won't know what software is on it anyway :) That is what is so great about it.

So really there are no warranty issues since you can always go back to 100% stock if needed. But if you want to be extra cautious then use the bootable SD card method. As long as you use a SanDisk micro SD card you shouldn't have any of the sluggishness issues you described.

[HTC One S] iheartn1:
Is everyone still using the stock T-Mobile US rom? I tried Virtuous 1.4 but am getting constant switching between 3g and 4g so I decided to go back to stock, but the 3 dot settings button in apps is extremely ugly and poorly designed. The WIFI calling and texting feature is also really nice too. Are there any T-Mobile US based roms without the 3 dot menu?

I really like CWM touch but every time I restart my phone into recovery, it is no longer CWM touch, instead its the newest nontouch version of CWM. I'll just reflash the touch package but same results every time I restart into CWM. I don't have rom manager installed anymore either. Anyone know what the cause iss?

And can anyone remember if pre-installed lookout was premium or was it just the free version?
[HTC EVO 3D] brandenk:
I just got an Evo 3D and I am trying to flash a custom recovery image. I used htcdev to unlock my phone, then I flashed the latest Clockwork mod recovery image to the phone using fastboot, but when I try to boot into recovery from the bootloader it just reboots and it never takes me into recovery. Ive tried flashing a few different recoveries in the hopes that I just got a bad file but nothing works. Any ideas? :confused:
[HTC EVO 3D] banccalif:
Try downloading 4ext from play store, after inatalling it will walk you thru the set up to flash the recovery
[HTC EVO 3D] jura69:
Can you get into the bootloader by doing the following:

- Pull out the battery

- Put the battery back in

- Hold the volume down button

- Hold down the power button while still continuing to hold down the volume down button

From there you should go str8 to the bootloader screen rather than the splash screen.

If you get to the bootloader screen, are you able to get into the recovery from the bootloader menu?
[HTC EVO 3D] metalfan78:
Yea, do the battery pull, you can also unchecked 'fastboot' in settings, power.

I have tried.....but same with question from brandenk
[HTC EVO 3D] brandenk:
So since I posted, I have made it to the next step. I have TWRP recovery installed and working, but for some reason the whole boot.img and kernal flashing doesnt work. After trying for another couple hours trying to install MeanROM I have had no success. Flashing the ROM from recovery works fine, but once it gets to the step of updating the kernal, it just freezes and I had to pull the battery (waiting 10+ minutes). After doing so, I could get past the boot screen, but it would never properly load the ROM, I just got an endless status bar and black screen. I went through this process a couple of times before I decided to restore to my original nandroid backup. Even restoring the backup caused it to hang when it got to restoring boot.img. After waiting another 10 minutes I pulled the battery and rebooted and luckily was able to get into the stock Sense ROM, which is better than nothing, but I really wish I could install a ROM like MeanROM.
[HTC EVO 3D] coal686:
Try 4ext Recovery (see my signature). It will flash the kernel properly for S-on users.
[HTC EVO 3D] brandenk:
It didnt work for me, I am still on the stock ROM so I dont have root access. Is there a way to flash 4ext through fastboot?

EDIT: I got it installed with fastboot, trying it now. Thank you for the suggestion!

EDIT 2: I worked!!! Seriously, thank you again!

Glad I could help. Welcome to the addicting world of flashing a new Rom everyday :D

[HTC Amaze 4G] WhatDa?:
I accidently locked the bootloader. I had to goto HTCDEV and get a new unlock_code.bin. My old Unlock_code was now incorrect for my phone. This happened after flashing PH85IMG ENG 1.90.2005.zip and forgot to relock the bootloader. Afterwards my bootloader went from unlocked to locked, not relocked. That was last night and I was tired. Today for fun I was trying to do it again on purpose. After a few hours no luck. When this happened my phone was S=off the cid set to 11111111 HBOOT was JuopunutBear 1.93.2222 I was going back to ICS from a telus GB. Before playing with this anymore, I want to make sure this isn't already done? If HTC warranty be valid again on the phone? Or is it not worth working on.

Thanks

It is locked because its the eng bootloader. When you flash back to eng bootloader from jbear hboot, it should also be locked once again.

Your warranty is most likely void for any software caused problems that u may have in future.

The good news is they will still cover hardware issues AND most software issues can be fixed in these threads :D

So I got my Nexus and realized there is no SD Card slot; but 16GB is more than enough. However, I start to encounter issues regarding this.

1) I bought Titanium Backup and I am suppose to put the files under the Titanium folder in the external memory (which is usually the SD card). Now when I go into USB connection, there's only internal memory on PC. How do I solve this issue

2) Where do I find the application datas?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] delacrow:
As you've seen in other threads the Wallet is now working for some (well, one that I've seen) people, but apparently only on stock ICS ucld3 leak.

I have not seen reports of people getting it working on other roms, but I hope we are close.

At this point we can successfully download Wallet from the play store without any modification - install now works. However, people are getting unsupported country/device error. So the big question I think is what changes in custom ROM to make it not work - hopefully we will get a rom that supports the wallet.

And I hope the solution is posted here in addition to some rom-specific threads.

Now as for your hanging, I suspect that you are getting an unsupported phone error, but the error is hidden. That used to happen to me and after browsing around I was able to see that error, but closing it only closes the app.

Sorry, don't recall the exact sequence of actions. But right now on Perfection rom there is still the unsupported device error but no hanging.

I don't think he spoofed anything to get it working earlier, so we'll see if he can get it working again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] cosmosexschool:
I saw this as an interesting topic and decided to invest some time into it. Google Wallet uses a regex string to verify the provider(Operator NAME, MCC, MNC). This was relatively easy to patch, smali the classes.dex fgrep for '<<Sprint' and you'll find the string constant, replace entire string with a single '.' recompile with baksmali and resign the apk. The next issue will be with NFC EE access which you can get the hash for your newly compiled apk, and add it to /etc/nfcee_access.xml what we then get is a patched version of google wallet, that now has nfcee access which it needs. The only problem I run into now, is that it just sits and attempts to initialize and never does. ddms shows the following in the logs

05-14 10:34:05.954: D/NFC-HCI(755): > SEND: 08 B2 83 3E 00 FC 01 B0 29

05-14 10:34:05.964: D/NFC-HCI(755): > SEND: 03 C3 B8 D1

what we are seeing is that it can't get a secure element for secure nfc, in which case google wallet will eventually fail with an exception

05-14 10:32:32.233: W/System.err(1413): java.io.IOException: NFC EE failed to open

Now maybe a more experienced DEV can chime in here, but what I'm seeing is that NFC EE won't initialize due to the lack of SMX / Secure Element support. Now I currently have no idea if it's a software limitation(just not exposed) or a hardware limitation(in fact no existing) or if it's a hardware limitation if there is a software based emulation that can be implemented on top of it all. I'll keep plugging away and if I have more results to share I'll let you know.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tamoham:
Do any one have the working Google wallet on at&t note?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] cosmosexschool:
We have a hardware limitation that jeeps it from working. There is the possibility of software base emulation but enabling such seems overkill for what the application really gives you in my opinion.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] babymatteo:
Support for our Note should be coming soon...hopefully. Multiple devices just gained support from Google for GWallet...so hopefully once the official ICS OTA is released, so will GWallet.

Even the HTC Evo has support for crying out loud ;p
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] cosmosexschool:
Can anyone confirm if there is a true secure element in the note? Getting the app downloaded, and getting the app to run are trivial tasks. The problem is it hangs while initializing looking for a secure element that is hardware based in the NFC chip. My research had lead me to find posts stating no current AT&T phone has it, however they are looking at doing something with the SIM card. Looking at the code of the wallet APK, there are emulation layers for the NFC chip as well as the secure element, exposing them was where I just looked at it as not worth the time and maybe Google themselves plan on using those layers for devices that lack a true hardware based secure element. ;)

I'll gladly post the modified APK that gets past the carrier check.
