[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Cubanluke88:
Okay.

First things first. Read this thread

Now, I'll clear it up here, but you should really read that thread as well. You do not "change root." The fact that your tablet is rooted simply means that on your current version of Android (the stock B&N version by the sound of it) you have root access. Newer "root methods" simply have made it easier to attain root access.

What you now want to do, by indicating that you want cm7, is install a custom rom. This means you will be completely overwriting the stock B&N OS. You will have root access with this rom as most custom roms come with the ability to have root access to the file system.

The steps you should take are:

1. Find and download the cm7 zip file (I think the link may be broken in the rom's thread. Have a look around for it. Make sure you do not download any cm7 zip files for the Nook Color). You'll also want to find and download the cm7 gapps files if you want the play store and other google apps.

2. Download indirect's app to flash recovery, install it and flash clockworkmod recovery.

3. Boot into clockworkmod recovery and make a backup.

4. Seriously make a backup.

5. Did you make a backup? Cause you should have.

6. Select "install from zip" and find the cm7 zip file you downloaded. Do this again for the gapps zip file.

7. Wipe data/factory reset.

8. Reboot system and you'll be booting into cm7. The stock B&N OS will be gone.

If you don't like it, simply boot into clockworkmod recovery again and restore the backup you made (you made a backup right?).

Finally, please read the thread I linked. You should have a firm understanding of everything it says before you tinker with this stuff.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Broncowolf:
Thanks for the quick and detailed response. I've read your linked post and I'll look into how to back up my Nook Tablet and research a bit more before attempting this.

Currently, I'm rooted (fastboot style) but have had a several problems after turning on the Nook. Occasionally, when I turn on the Nook and get the launcher choice menu, the menu is rapidly flashing and I'm unable to make a choice and must reboot. This is why I'm thinking about starting over with a different root method. Other than the occasional startup problems it works fine.

Thanks again!

Hey everyone. I'm not sure if you noticed, but in the general android forum, Valcho got the Flipboard for android app extracted from the SGS3 and posted it. I figured I would share it here in case people don't check over there. It runs super smooth and shouldn't any alterations. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1644212

[General Questions and Answers] MacGIO:
Hi,

I have a Samsung GIO S5660 (no carrier, no lock or branding or something, originally GB 2.3.4, stockware updated to 2.3.6), rooted and installed Clockworkmod Recovery (5.0.2.6) and followed the instruction to the letter when I tried to install an ICS ROM: this one here.

I tried others too. But unfortunately the result is the same everytime. Installation successfully completes, wipe data / factory reset (tried that several times before and after installing). And when rebooting, the SamsungMobile logo is shown, the screen flashes white for a split second and goes dark but is obviously still powered up (glows a little). And then nothing happens. I have to remove the battery to bring it back to life then, which right now is of course nothing more then another reboot into recovery.

Any ideas? Am I using the wrong ROM versions? It says something about format failed when doing the wipe because of missing ext4 access ... ?! Do I have to use a different CWM Recovery? But I do use the one mentioned and linked to in the tutorial ...

Regards,

Mac
[General Questions and Answers] MacGIO:
Uhm, I just had to wait a little longer for the ROM to start up. :-) Sorry, ROM works alright.

Hi all,

I have just released the first alpha version of Google Web Service For Windows Phone API on CodePlex.

The API is functional, with a few exception of completed and non-common features from Google's documentations. It is a side product of my newest app, Please Like the Facebook page , and the app is available here

Google Web Service API for Windows Phone

I am looking for contributors.

Also, please leave a comment if there is a particular Google API that you think should be in priority in porting to .NET

Please let others know such API exists. I hope my work will bring convenience to a lot of developers.

Support API so far:

- Google Directions (finding directions)

- Google Places (Geocoding, Reverse Geocoding)

- Google Places Autocomplete

- Google Static Maps
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] darthveda:
I tried using google reverse and geocoding apis but unfortunately, they state that the results must be used only for displaying on their own maps. I wanted to use the results to display in a listbox..Google needs to tweak their terms and conditions a bit and not make everything centric towards their own products :P
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] dr_strangetrick:
Hope someone can use this to make a Google+ app
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] andreacorti:
you have to use business maps api.. the problem is the price..
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] 2hdass:
Right, I agree with you, and I greatly doubt they will open that up.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] watt9493:
Today I received my anker slim talk 3200. I found myself frequently running to my car to charge during the middle of an outing. I found it unacceptable considering Motorola decided to seal the battery. :mad::mad::mad: if you have been on the fence about buying one of these, jump on it. It's 2199 on amazon, about the size of the original Motorola flip RAZR, and puts out .6 amps and has a flashlight! Seems to be well built too.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] kennonk:
I was having this same problem yesterday afternoon at work. Last night I set my radio to 5GHz only and today it hasn't happened once.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] jfenton57:
I am so glad I found this as it was driving me nuts on my new Sprint SIII. I think it's bouncing back and forth when both are available as at work, it stayed solid where we only have 2.4.

Thanks!!!!!!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] ewingr:
I had that problem the entire time I had my Captivate. Very short disconnects. Only reason I knew was because of a task I was using in Tasker having problems, and I set a method to track connection.

I fixed the problem with setting a static IP address. I used WiFi Static.

I'm using it on the S3 just to be sure.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] manny05:
Had the same problem. However I set it to connect to 2.4ghz and it stopped doing that. If I put it on auto it will do it. If I leave at 5 it won't connect.

I do however think I might have a wifi dead spot. I notice if I hold it a certain way I lose a signal or two on wifi. Or the speed of wifi decreases. Anyone else having the same issue? It might just be me

sent from my GALAXY SIII
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Liferules:
I've experienced the same wifi drop issues so glad it is being investigated. Thanks to OP for diligence in tracking this down!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] ewingr:
Have any of you tried this ^ ? Mine is set up like that, and no issues at all. I did have those issues on my Captivate until I did above.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Liferules:
I'm having a rash of the issue tonight--dropping wifi and now says unable to connect due to poor reception (I'm sitting beside my router)...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] stan.s:
although I've gone to level 3, I need you and everyone else experiencing this to report it so that its corrected. Granted they are certainly going to visit the wifi code for the dual encryption issue and stability with Auto frequency, but fixing this could be done at the same time.

FWIW, since I have two routers and 3 networks, one of them is simply a pure G up to 54mbps default firmware setup (since it's the FCC's) and connecting to that greatly reduces but not entirely eliminates the problem (even in the same room). It's much worse on my "N" only networks. And I have tried static IP that also doesn't fix the problem. This is some sort of software issue in the renegotiable speed setting or timing settings or power savings. Off course it certainly could be some badly (or purposely) behaved app software too.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] ewingr:
Interesting. Given that I don't seem to be having any issues, it seems it is not a problem for everyone.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] topgun303:
Had the same problem. Net gear router wrnd3400. Wifi kept dropping so then I connected to Verizon router and no problems. Seems to be a problem with some after market routers.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] stan.s:
More likely to be a timing issue or protocol issues as the phone scans and tests various networks on different bands and protocols. Many people have n routers that do mixed networks, b, g and n, and they just may not know what they are doing all the time as the phone renegotiates with the router. I have a wrt 610v2 doing only n on 2.4/5ghz and on the the Netgear N300 it drops less doing 2.4 g and at my friends who have a wrt54g and it dropped even less often. The app that I use to enable my lock screen pin makes this more noticeable.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] stan.s:
FWIW, I decided to followup on the ticket. Samsung level 1 (not that it matters) says they have never heard of this problem. Level 2 was better, and we in essence setup a new ticket with the videos already linked to it. I offered a sendlog, I offered to install a test app if they have one. I already beta test for a number of app developers as well as some major hardware OEMs.

PLEASE, everyone, call samsung support directly and register a ticket that this is a problem so that they have the information first hand and not via ATT or Sprint, etc which they might ignore.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] ewingr:
I just called. They said they would note it 'on my account'. They indicated it would be a Google issue, not Samsung. They only do the hardware (and of course, it can't be a hardware issue, can it? :rolleyes:)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] stan.s:
I was thumbing through the phone logs from a boot to connection and reconnect. I have to say Chrome has a lot of errors thrown particularly in the bookmark sync. Also it appears that every time the wifi is initially started it checks for authentication for tethering on both the wifi and BT. It almost looks like the phone thinks that the wifi ap is off and restarts wifi scanning.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] ooofest:
Which phone number did you call for Samsung support, please?

I have experienced the slow network and disconnect/reconnect issue on this phone since it arrived, but all is normal on our 5 or so other mobile devices with this Netgear WNDR3700 router on the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands.

Oh, and there's this.

You install a kernel the same way you installed the rom. You'll want to download rumirand's kernel here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1414565

Oh, and if Odin's not detecting your device, try rebooting your computer. Sometimes odin doesn't end the session properly; and, when that happens, your PC can't talk to the player at all.

Ok, before someone gives a answer like, "google it" I tried literally every apktool, deodextool, xultimate, everything. however, i have yet to get a clean deodexed these are the steps:

1. extract tar using extract.bat/extract.jar to ext.img

2. linux reader, extract system folder

3. place app/framework in folder.

4. use xdaautotool to deodex

does it have to do with bootclasspath? what is it for galaxy s 3?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FriendlyFire:
I've been trying to figure out what was wrong with my TF300T for the past week or so. It crashed apparently randomly throughout my 3-week trip (where I unfortunately couldn't really debug the thing).

First I thought it could be fixed through updating. I managed to get .29 on it after some fiddling, and it did seem to reduce the number of crashes, combined with a factory reset and fewer apps running. However, it didn't fix them all, and now I'm afraid the problem is much deeper.

Whenever I slightly bend the tablet at a specific spot (specifically, with my index finger roughly behind the top-left corner of the screen pushing towards me and my thumb resting on the top-left corner of the tablet pushing away from me), the screen shows heavy corruption, the touchscreen becomes unresponsive and the tablet reboots after a few seconds. This happens systematically, whether I am in the boot process or in the OS.

I have attached an example of one such screen corruption, where the screen fills with flickering white lines (the black splodges are just to hide a thing or two, they aren't part of the problem). Now this is one of many possible things I've seen. Others include the entire screen getting covered in a black & white checkered pattern and many more.

At this point I'm out of my RMA period with NCIX by a week or so. Does anybody have experience with dealing with them? Ideally they'd take care of all of it, but I'm afraid that might be out of question now. Otherwise, does Asus usually cover shipment costs both ways? It's brand new, I'm hoping for at least a bare minimum of support, but heh...

Thank you for this!!!!!!!!!! The only issue I had was when you tell it to flash the ruu, where it says signed.zip, I looked at your list of a complete code and it was si.zip. So I changed it and somehow that made it work:eek: Again thanks a lot!

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] AmbientBlu:
Thanks for writing this up. I'm waiting on a warrantied replacement of my DInc 2 (the "1" on the alpha keyboard no longer works) and I'm a little concerned about rooting because of the need to downgrade (something that wasn't required when I rooted originally) but this makes it look fairly manageable.

My biggest concern? Making sure I hit the volume up AND down buttons in conjunction with the power button!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] CondemnedSoul:
If someone could instead of just pulling the modules, do a pull of /system .....?

Ok, I tried this, following the steps accordingly and my device is stuck in the HTC screen after

and

and when I try flashing it I get this:

Any thoughts? should I try this from the start again?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] dets34:
For the

fastboot oem rebootRUU

and

fastboot erase cache

you should only see the HTC logo. This is normal. As for not being able to load the RUU file did you place it in your Android\android-sdk\tools folder?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Triscuit:
I'm also having an issue while running the command to flash the RUU file, I'm gonna try from scratch

Edit: I think i got it! There were a couple spaces in the code that i didnt see
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] dets34:
:good: let me know if it worked!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] dets34:
double check your typing the file name correctly. its long and annoying to type :silly:. Also make sure you don't unzip it. (im sure you didn't, but just triple checking)

If it still doesn't work you may want to try to download the same RUU file but from a different source. Sometimes the files get corrupted and do not load correctly.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] cowboyv:
Who's your daddy?

Hello Gingerbread:laugh:! I managed to get this done now; I think I didn't wait enough in between commands so I decided to do it the old fashioned way: Do it while watching my favorite TV shows, and pressing enter when commerical breaks came and ended, :D

thanks man!:good: Huge thanks!:highfive:
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Triscuit:
I was having this issue, then I copied the command into notepad and checked it for errors. Low and behold I had to fix a couple spaces in the file name. All is well now, on 2.3.3 and getting ready to flash ICS :)

I keep getting "'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file""

I installed the android sdk, what am I missing?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] dets34:
Do you have android debugging enabled, as well as unknown sources checked?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Macguyver:
Yep, and fastboot unchecked.

I am on the work computer, but I have admin rights. I figure I'll try at home tonight, probably should get some work done yet today, lol.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] dets34:
make sure you are running cmd as administrator and that your phone is plugged in via USB :silly: lol.

i have a feeling you either don't have the adb.exe application installed or its in the wrong location.

When you type cmd in XP (and i believe vista and win 7), by default it will open a prompt at c:\Documents and Settings\%username%\. If you now type adb, the os will look for a file called adb.exe or adb.bat or adb.com in the Documents and Settings folder. Since you placed the file in a different folder, it will give you an error.

so if you have adb.exe installed move it to c:\Documents and Settings\%username%\ and see if that works.

EDIT: on my work computer its placed under c:\Windows\adb.exe (my work computer is running vista)

so if your on win 7 or vista this may be the location to place it.

EDIT of the EDIT: make sure the adb.exe application is also placed in your android\android-sdk\platforms(or platform-tools) folder along with the adbwinapi.dll and adbwinusbapi.dll application extension files.

same goes for the android/android-sdk/tools folder too.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] cowboyv:
Ok, I have a new problem: my phone is in the endless boot up sequence. It was disconnected from the computer before I was able to get revolutionary on it. The moment it starts to load (I still haven't been able to get revolutionary or CWM on it) it reboots. I'm sure fastboot is off because I can go into hboot and usbdebugging is on because I can see the popup before the phone reboots.

Any suggestions?

EDIT

Well, I took out the SD and the SIM card, went into boot recovery, tried to do a factory reset, went into android recovery, and the reboot cycles stopped. I was able to connect my device with Revolutionary, and zerg the *** out of that root, and I am now CWMing it as I type this edit. Happy Trails!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] dets34:
is this separate from the phone you got to downgrade earlier?

anyways, are you able to get to the factory recovery screen? If so i believe there is an option to toggle USB. you can turn that on then place the revolutionary and CWM files onto it and flash from there.
