I also have ezPDF, and quite liked it. I just prefer using Mantano as one reader than can display and read my entire (pdf and epub) library in one app.

Mantano offers a cloud service, but it's not free. I've gone for the $20/year 5 GB, 2000 title option that lets me sync among 4 devices. In addition to reading positions, it also syncs categories, metadata and tags, which I find useful.

I've read good things about FBReader and will try their sync option someday. As I recall, it didn't handle some of my document formatting as well.

Mantano will, yes.

Some tips on battery life:

The NST can maintain very good battery life if you stick to your "primarily a reader" philosophy. In particular, avoid anything that polls in the background. While I do use maildroid, I have it set to only poll manually. I don't have any sort of background sync running (e.g. facebook, newsfeeds). No widgets.

I do have Tasker set up to wake the device once daily and force a sync with Dropsync to download my Calibre-generated news from Dropbox. I also have Tasker set to only enable wifi when a short list of specific apps runs (e.g. maildroid). Wifi is shut off when the screen goes off. I enable wifi manually for things like reader sync that I only do occasionally.

While I haven't done any scientific testing, my battery life seems as good as on a non-rooted device. I recently left my NST on my coffee table unplugged when I left town for a week, and on my return, it was still at 90%.

Being on older Android 2.1 Eclair, the NST will benefit from a task manager. I tried a few, including Advanced Task Manager, but I finally settled on System Tuner Pro. I get very few warning messages now (< 1 daily), and no memory problems. I have it set to only kill tasks when the screen goes off, and when actually low on memory using the "Light" preset. I have it ignore Mantano and Tasker.

With these settings, I haven't had any particular problems with the Google stuff loaded. If I don't use it, it doesn't affect battery life. I did freeze Gmail since I just don't like it.
[Nook Touch General] roustabout:
tinynooter works on the glow, also. (and on the NST without the glowlight.)

If you're comfortable sideloading apk files via adb either glownooter or tinynooter will do the trick. Once you're shelled in over adb, you need to su to get an adb root shell - most of the time I'm ssh'ing into my device in any case

What tinynooter doesn't do is install any of the google apps, a modified framework or kernel - it's very much the base device but with root rights. For convenience the Amazon appstore is on board.

I'm curious what makes a nooter and what does not? I'd been thinking that nooter was a generic term for 'nook rooter?'
[Nook Touch General] serupento:
If you've got a glow nook, my advice to you as one newbie to another is to WAIT. There is almost no newbie support for the glow nook as I rather unfortunately discovered today. Even if you've rooted an android device before, the odds are slim that you've ever side-loaded an apk and there is not a guide to be found on this forum for the GlowLight. Not that it matters, because adb won't pick up a rooted glowlight. Additionally, do -not- try to install norefresh or multitouch.

I'm restoring my glow nook to factory tomorrow morning myself and just waiting it out. Besides, using it unrooted for awhile will help you figure out what you do and don't want out of a rooted device (for example you -are- going to need a separate pdf reader, but it might turn out that everything you read on your nook will already be .epub or easily converted to .epub).
[Nook Touch General] sswoozooss:
For IRC, AndChat works excellent.

http://www.andchat.net/index.php

Mini vMac If you are a mac person, this is something to check out. I bought the paid version and unlike the free version, the paid one conforms to the screen resolution perfectly on the nook.

It's not necessarily newb stuff, just some things I put on mine for fun that work quite well :eek:
[Nook Touch General] serupento:
I dunno how well it works on NST, but on the glowlight, AndChat has a problem with autoscrolling unless you manually clear your buffer every few lines.
[Nook Touch General] sswoozooss:
AndChat is good on my non-glow nook. I don't have any scrolling issues. I really really want a glow nook but I guess from what I read here, not everything is sorted out yet. :(

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sarkie:
Hi,

I'm trying to downgrade my refurbished phone to 2.2.1 or whatever, so that it picks up the OTA version from Vodafone UK (are they different to stock?), since I need it fixing again.

Last time I used the PASSIMG.zip method, but this time I can't because I'm getting MainVer is higher error.

So I've done a "fastboot getvar mainver" and it returned. "3.11.151.3"

Now I can't use the "PASSIMG_Passion_Google_WWE_2.18.1700.1_FRG83_release_signed.zip" file because it is higher and I can't use "PASSIMG_Passion_Google_WWE_3.13.1700.1_GRK39F_release_signed_2.3.7.zip" because it won't get the OTA update.

Now I've read about misc.img, I saw this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=726258

I have an SLCD version, so I don't want to downgrade my HBOOT.

But can I copy the rest of the guide, I made a copy of that partition by issuing

"cat /dev/mtd/mtd0 > /sdcard/misc.img" as su in adb shell.

Opening the file in a hex editor showed the main version there.

So I'm seeing what's the best options for me?

Edit the misc.img with a hex editor to be below 2.18?

Then do this

adb push flash_image /data/flash_image

adb push mtd0.img /data/mtd0.img

adb shell

chmod 755 /data/flash_image

/data/flash_image misc /data/mtd0.img

Follow the guide and use an HTC one?

Find a PASSIMG for 2.3.4?

Other?

[General Questions and Answers] bigraymeehan:
Anyone having problems with MVNO companies cutting you off on their unlimited plans?

Example: H2O Wireless. They're an AT&T Mvno who offer unlimited talk n text for $40, and a couple higher plans with some data added, however they regularly cut customers off for using too many text messages.

I work at a store trading phones and selling prepaid services like Simple Mobile, Pageplus, H2O, etc. However we had 3 customers come in within a 4 month timespan complaining their text messages were not working.

When I called H2O's customer service for them, I was told they used an unreasonable amount of text messages and would not be able to continue texting until their next billing cycle.

So I argued that they were on an unlimited texting plan and any amount whether it is 15 or 200,000 falls under the category of unlimited. They again replied with the word unreasonable, so I asked them to explain their definition of "reasonable text usage" so I could explain to my customers just how many text messages they actually get.

They're response was: "The definition of unreasonable, sir, is the opposite of reasonable"

They refused to give me a number and said they're system would automatically shut someone off for abusing their unlimited plans.

Anyone else had this problem, or a similar one from a different company?

I haven't had experience with any other AT&T MNVO's yet, but I have never had this problem with any others, aside from their Data caps.
[General Questions and Answers] PakAttack1994:
I'm aware of people getting cut off from using too much data under Straight Talk (AT&T's MVNO) but not due to too many texts or talk. Usually they give you a warning and if you continue they'll cut you off.
[General Questions and Answers] bigraymeehan:
A warning for too much texting? I see warnings all the time for the data usage, but the sms and voice usage is ridiculous to be cut off. Airvoice offers 10,000 sms/mms a month, so I was wondering if thats really a standard accross all of the AT&T MVNOs and they are the only outright honest company, or if maybe it is just H2O who cuts early for sms usage.

I'll be reading up on their fine print later to see if it mentions somewhere in there about a right to cut off "unreasonable" or "abusive" use. I'm sure it does, but if not maybe we have a lawsuit! lol j/k
[General Questions and Answers] fatclue:
Never had any issues with Straight Talk. The T&C's clearly state that streaming is not allowed. Take away that and there's virtually no way to abuse data. I do however do some cough, cough, tethering, cough and have not been given any warnings.
[General Questions and Answers] PakAttack1994:
Yeah maybe it was due to her streaming youtube videos as opposed to her just browsing all day. I heard a couple people get warnings, not sure what they were doing with their data usage, but I figured it was around 2GB's on however you used your data so I generally tended to stay below that.
[General Questions and Answers] bigraymeehan:
What about getting cut off for talking / texting too much? Has anyone else had that happen with any MVNO?

[General Questions and Answers] 008Rohit:
I don't have a WiFi connection at home, but the PC's net connection is pretty fast. My mobile data plan is a limited one, so I can't download large apps and games using it. For that reason I wanted to reverse-tether. But till now, I couldn't even manage to just 'simple' tether the phone. When I enable tethering, NO NEW CONNECTION or whatever comes. I'm using Win7 Ultimate x64. Any idea? I tried un-rooting and that to doesn't solve the problem. The drivers are already installed, without them, I wouldn't have successfully patched the phone's ROM earlier.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. :)

[HTC One X] SedaG:
My HTC One X JUST came into the mail today and I want to get started and get my favorite custom software already. However, the fact that my phone could possibly have a problem out of the box, if I start doing dev stuff, I lose my warranty. Should I wait a bit? I feel like I would notice if anything was wrong already.
[HTC One X] bobmarsh72:
Personally I would hold off at least a week just to make sure. Cause you would be kicking yourself if you do have a problem and HTC decide to try and charge you for it cause your unlocked.
[HTC One X] Meltus:
That's a very good point.

Some common problems with the device sometimes only show up after a few days use and sometimes HTC wont repair your device if it's rooted, even if it's a hardware problem.

After a week any problems that it might have should have showed up :)
[HTC One X] SedaG:
Thanks guys! Yeah I was kind of thinking the same thing. I suppose I can live with Stock for a week while I test everything out. I would definitely be pissed at myself if they wouldn't service it simply because I wanted Adblock over the next week. haha.
[HTC One X] AJerman:
I usually give it a month or so before I do anything to void my warranty. I've had phones before that had something wrong with them that I didn't notice until they were no longer under warranty, so I give it a while before I bother. Plus, this phone is undoubtedly much faster than your previous, so even stock it should be a sizable boost. Enjoy it as it is for a little while, then when you put custom software, you'll get that boost again! :D

[HTC One X] SedaG:
Thanks guys! You rock. I'm definitely gonna wait. I'm thinking a week or two so I can test every feature which I haven't been able to test (blue tooth, tethering, and more) or even discover for that matter.

And yes, I came from the Moto Milestone 2 to the Moto Backflip... To the One X. The experience isn't even comparable. I am so happy with the improvement I am just giddy over the fact that I have this super phone. No rush to throw custom on it when it's already this good. Only SERIOUS reason I would unlock for at the moment would be battery and AdFree purposes but for real, the battery isn't that bad.. Idk why people keep hating on it. I am a pretty heavy user too.

Hm sounds like your installation messed up. Providing that your SD card is fine try this. Reformat your SD card, then copy all the necessary Gin2Ics files to the root of your SD card.

I didn't see this particular possible route ventured.

I am new to linux/android but not remotely to IT. Did anyone look at coding? I started looking at code (Decompiled apk etc) and it appears that in Verizon's CDMA version is strictly blocked by the apk itself. I don't see references to anything else ( policy, permissions etc) at this time but I am not finished.

So if infact this is the case, should it not be as simple as:

decompile rom

decompile apk

fix permissions in androidmanifest.xml for phone and voip

recompile apk

recompile rom

reflash

Or did I just oversimplify this?

GSM units use firmware however when looking at code files in the tab it noted that CDMA version is all software (Java).
