[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] JCSantana:
Guys if have a question to which i could benefit from some of your knowledge,

i have successfully obtain S-off on my vivid via wiretrick, i got it the first time. The problem im currently facing is the fact that my external SDcard which was the one used while performing the wiretrick is not letting me mount or format it, or use it at all? could i have bricked or messed up my SDcard for good? and how could this have happened?

Are you talking about the video on juopunutbear's instruction site?

(here? http://unlimited.io/juopunutbear-public-beta-0-1/instructions/htc-vivid/ )

Remember that the video is only a small piece of the whole process. Do everything the SuperGuide says (which eventually leads you to juopunutbear's site) and you will be a happy camper.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] JCSantana:
when you download the all in one toolkit for the htc vivid, you will find the guide step by step and the video as well in there, with all the necessary tolls to obtain s-off, i advice to do a lot of reading and watch the video a few times before you actually do it.

[HTC Sensation] turner2914:
I water damaged my old phone and I am looking to replace it with something better. My old phone is the Samsung Galaxy Gio and the new phone I'm looking to get is the best HTC phone I can find. I was told by a friend that the sensation is good and I'd like some more opinions.

[HTC Sensation] flare4000:
Best HTC phone you can find is the htc one x, it depends on your budget. The sensation is most likely not going to get any more official support but here on xda that doesn't matter. Other than that if you want a good phone for a good price then yeah the sensation isn't that bad. If I were you I would get the galaxy nexus.
[HTC Sensation] turner2914:
Well in that case, I narrowed it down to the HTC one x, the galaxy nexus or the galaxy s2 (I would get the s3 but its out of my price range)

Sent from deep space
[HTC Sensation] _delice_doluca_:
i respectfully disagree..

if we compare what we can do with them;

galaxy nexus is the best when it comes to the updates. and it is also the referance device so you don't have to worry if any ap will work on it or not.

but today i went to an electronic market shop and checked every top android phone and decided that i did not want to go for a amoled screen.. even though they give best colors even the newest galaxy s3 phones had screen burns and the phones were only there 1 month max.. normally i change phones in 3-4 months but this time i made a promise and i have to keep my new phone at least 1-1.5 year so amoled screen gives me the best blacks but every day i have to watch its leds degrade.. on the other hand sensations mid-quality black-good brightness screen will remain the same even after a few good years..

on the memory side, nexus gives us USB OTG, no way to do this with htc because they changed the frameworks but there is a memory card slot which is more useful until 64 Gb.. if you are willing to carry a external hdd and a cable with you and willing to sacrifise some battery juice then the nexus is good for you..

on the ram side; since the sense UI can remove itself from the background when it is not necessary and the screen is not 720p 768Mb is quite enough and not falling so short compared to nexus' 1 gb ram. (not so sure about this but months i used sensation XE and never got out of ram or had any problems)

there is a FM radio on sensation

sound quality is better on sensation (XE)

camera sensor is better on sensation (but need some software touch to unlock its full potential)

and the GPU is also better and more suitable for OCing if you are into OCing.. adreno GPUs are good at giving effects and fall behind the mali-400 when it comes to filling textures.. but at this resulotion, it is more than enough to play any game.. and you can gain %25+ with OC, this is about %10-15 on the nexus.. i was having 52-53 FPS on nena mark2 while the one x had 55..

and you can also buy a white or beats audio housing and change the way it looks whenever you want..

so, according to my fully subjective comparison is more fun to buy sensation (XE) than nexus..
[HTC Sensation] turner2914:
Would the one x be better than the sensation?
[HTC Sensation] monkor:
Don't let anyone tell you otherwise: yes. What carrier are you on? Because an even better one x is coming out for T-Mobile soon that you might want to wait for if you decide on a great HTC phone
[HTC Sensation] turner2914:
Well I live in Canada and I am with Bell so I'm not sure if the one x is even compatible.

It would be great if someone took all the current i747 roms out there - there are so many - and made a chart that made comparing features really easy and also showed a few stats, like comscore and maybe something related to battery life.

This could be maintained as new versions came out, etc.

I would like to get a bounty up to get this under way. I'll chip in $25. Anyone else feeling generous?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] kurtiskobain:
Personally, I try out every rom as they get updated or released. I'd be willing to do this, and wouldn't even ask for donations. Although I certainly wouldn't deny them ;p

What would be a good way to assess battery? Fully charge, then run everything for 20 minutes and see what PCT the battery is at?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] kurtiskobain:
I was thinking more along the lines of a 24 hour run time assessment. It'd be slower but give it more of a real life usage feel ya know

What features should I be comparing exactly? If battery is the only slot I can't complete today, what should make up the other "slots"
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Intercrew:
I say you have a "24" hour hard usage by running a specific game for example NOVA 3 or any other games thats pretty intense on both single player and multiplayer

Then have an average "business person" style where you only browse webs, email, messaging, social networking, news etc

Then have a "norm" style where you do a bit of both.

This is going to take a while tho lol

EDIT: I would like to help with the comparison for just the fun of it but we gotta make sure we're on the same kernels don't you think and also have more than one person test out each rom and then average the results out for each rom
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] o2man98:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] synpax:
Comscore. Does camera work? Does BT work? Does tethering work?

re: battery. I think the 24 hour test might be inconsistent if you are using the phone to do different things. I'd think a brief sample would work just fine - 20 minutes of watching video with GPS, Wifi, and BT on. But I am not a battery expert.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Diviance:
Every battery test between even "identical" phones will be nigh on useless due to the possible flaws in the manufacture process for the phone and battery.

I would also suggest you ignore any benchmarking scores as they are as close to useless in real life usage as anything you can do on the phone.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] kurtiskobain:
sometimes, its about pleasing the crowd ;p

ive put together a rough draft, but its mostly blank...any good ideas as to which program i should use to display this data? perhaps just type it out and seperate it with the rom name?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nyven:
sahilarora2003: This does look like the utility that renames the settings in Android, build I could not find anything int he source that referes to the build.prop and the settings in there that is changed. I also see that this utility seems to be included in Nightly build of CM9 from the 2012-07-16.

The problem is that I have tried nightly build 2012-07-27 already and it still doesn't install.

It looks like the ROM CM9 doesn't install because it thinks that the phone I am installing on Samsung Note (N7000) with CM10, is a Samsung S2 (9100) and not a Samsung Note (N7000).

So the /system/build.prop has the incorrect phone models configured.

Att.Fan1982: I boot to recovery and have tried the following

1. Do all the wipes and then try and write the CM9, I get the error.

2. I Write CM10 again so I could boot normally again. Boot normally.

3. Boot Recovery, Just write CM9, without wipe, same error.

(as long as I don't use CM9, Asylum CM9 or AniDroid kernels as drivers on ANY CM10 based Rom - and vice-versa? Paranoid Android uses the same kernel as CyanogenMod?)

When you create a Nandroid Backup, and then restore, does it only restore all the stuff that was installed and needed, or does it also restore all the useless blank empty directories left behind by uninstalled programs?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cruise350:
It restores whatever you backed up. If you backed up empty directories it will restore empty directories. It basically is a bit for bit backup of the partition you backup.

Hi,

I succesfullly rooted my Nook glowlight, but when I tried to go back to stock with my nook backup I found the backup was not ok (just 77MB) and now I have a bricked NSTG that won't get past the "Install Failed" screen.

I've tried almost every method I could find in the forums, but none worked for me.

Is there anything else beside n2T and Alpha-Format I could try to revive my device?

TIA
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
I think the most careful way to proceed here is to get a shell going and inspect the damage.

If you were lucky you just wiped out the first partition and the partition tables.

Reinstating the partition tables might make undamaged partitions visible.

It's important to preserve the device dependent info on the /rom partition.

If you copy over ClockworkRecovery onto an SD card you should be able to boot that.

Without selecting anything on the menus you should be able to get ADB working.

With an ADB shell you can run fdisk -l /dev/block/mmcblk0

As soon as you can get access to /rom I'd suggest that you back that up.

I'm sure somebody has other ways to get shell access.
[Nook Touch General] srgarfi:
thanks for that I'll give it a try...

Sadly, I'm on a W7 box (not mine) and all I can see in the device manager is a nook with a yellow sign in it

ADB devices returns a blank list....

I tried updating the drivers for the nook: first uninstalled anything nooklike with usbdeview, and then pointed W7 to a folder where I had downloaded usbdrivers from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1354487 but W7 keeps telling there are no drivers for nook in that folder.

If I boot without SD then the nook is recognized and USB drivers install fine. It's booting with CWM that the device is not recognized.

[Nook Touch General] Renate:
There are drivers and drivers.

As a composite USB device the Nook uses both the stock Windows Mass Storage driver and the Google ADB driver.

The best bet would be to check with somebody with a Glow to see if the partitioning is the same as the Touch.

They could have even changed the exact size of partitions over time for the same model.

Well, you don't have anything at all in your partition table, not even the correct CHS.

If you tried this configuration and you can't mount the partition, then no harm is done.

Device information

Model: B&N Ebook Disk

Size: 182 GiB

Path: /dev/sdb

Partition table: msdos

Heads: 255

Sectors/track: 63

Cylinders: 238

Total sectors: 3825664

Sector size: 512

Physical characteristics being so different I'm affraid trying to convert heads/cylinders from Renate's Touch to my Glo schema would be useless.

Could someone with a NSTG please share partition information?

Thank you all,
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Well, they are not real physical differences.

You can juggle heads and sectors/track as long as the size of a cylinder stays the same.

It may be that the Glow has gone to a bigger cylinder, but it's suspicious that it's not a power of two.
[Nook Touch General] srgarfi:

[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Here is a script that will partition your Nook internal SD card like the listing above.

You can either copy this to the SD card, chmod 777 it and run it

or just copy and paste it to the Windows command line window running ADB.

Then you can try some mounts and see what you've got.

(nookpart.sh is zipped.)
[Nook Touch General] srgarfi:
was about to try the script (thanks again!) but nook is stuck at "rooted forever" screen and nothing I do awakes it: power on, power on 30 sec, power on and n, plug it to pc, and every combination. Took off the sd and tried combinations again, nothing. I've searched a bit and all other cases resumed to reboot by pressing long power. Not this one....no hard reset available? Every piece of equipment must have a big red switch =)

Should I stop messing around and buy another one? (not in the states anymore, it will take like 40+ days to deliver here...)
