[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Primus76:
Have searched and couldn't find anything. Often when driving I need to join a conference call that has the 800 number and pin. The email contains the standard blackberry/smartphone direct dial strings [18001111111p1234/18001111111x1234/18001111111,1234] and on my old blackberry and my co-workers iphones they could simply be tapped to dial the full string. I have found that with various Android devices you simply can't do this. I have tried sending an email to myself with 18001111111,1234 in the subject and body but it only highlights and dials the first or second set of numbers on tap. If I copy and paste the full string to the dialer it works as it should but doing this while driving is not possible.

Apparently the tel:18001111111,1234 tag is supposed to work but that is only on webpages so that won't help me out. With all the power behind android and the want to get them into corporate hands more, I'm surprised this has been overlooked?

Anyone out there know? I've tried stock email, gmail and touchdown and none work.

Thanks in advance.
[General Questions and Answers] _Toka_:
Hi everyone!

I've got a new SGP as a bonus for renewal of an agreement.

It's firmware is changed by my telcom O2, and it pisses me off. For example, there's boot animation of that company, their own apps, that are useless etc.. Because my country is one of a few, where is oligopoly, so there's insane prizes (for example 8$ for 100MB FUP). And that's exactly my FUP, so i have to control all of my data. I allready rooted my phone, and erase some of the annoying apps via Titanium. After one day of using My Data Manager I discover, that adds of free apps are kinda.. deadly for my FUP. So I downloaded Droidwall, but it's not working under my device.

So what I want?

* Flash new clean firmware.

* It would be nice to backup my firmware, in case of failure. Is this possible through CWR? I found a thread, where is CWR installed on SGP.

But both of this is not so necessary

* Instead of original firmware i'm willing to try MAK-DROID, but i don't know, if it has my language pack (Czech)

* I have to fix Droidwall. I tried to copy iptable/netfilter to system, change chmod to 777, but it still don't work, so I supose I need a new kernel. It should be in development. (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=31931148&postcount=3944 - I'm not sure, if this is the one) Or are there any other possibilities?

* And how the ** can i change the boot animation logo to something else?

And by the way, I'm beginer, and I have no clue, how to install kernel. I have allready flashed custom ROM at my friend's device, that's my only experience with that kind of stuff.

Apologize for my english and Thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] Maroc-OS:
hello :)

not the same kernel brother but i'am planing to port all features to other devices :)

the version you talked about it's just build with only few changes :)
[Nook Touch Android Development] guevor:
Because I suffer some problems in the vision, I bought a Nook Simple Touch to perform some of the functions performed with my asus transformer but with an electronic ink display. I must say I'm quite satisfied with its functionalty, but despite having to severely limit my hours in front of screens, I could not resist to modify the kernel.

The kernel adds frequencies of 1GHz and 1.1GHz, besides being modified to compile using gcc 4.7 from Linaro. I've also changed some compilation options.

The kernel includes the modifications for multitouch.

Attached the patch for the original source code 1.1 and my build.

Don't forget to rename the uImage.img to uImage (renamed it to allow the uploading)

Since version 2, the kernel support the normal and glow versions.

REMOVED temporarily
[Nook Touch Android Development] Woody:
Very nice to see you Guevor. I am currently still running one of your kernels for the Transformer. Hopefully you can do the same magic over here.

@All, Guevor knows what he is doing and is always willing to help and troubleshoot with you. Above all, if you have bugs, Logcats are best but detailed explanations are almost just as helpful.
[Nook Touch Android Development] stegg:
whoa! guevor here!!! :good: :D
[Nook Touch Android Development] notriddle:
Thanks, but a question

Can voltage control be added? The nook would probably benefit hugely from undervolt.
[Nook Touch Android Development] Zorkman:
from everything I've read, undervolting provides only a very minimal gain in battery life (we're talking about max a couple of procent)
[Nook Touch Android Development] guevor:
The voltage is not fixed for each frequency, so it is modified while working, and the only thing that is fixed is the nominal value.

I have looked very little about this board, but that is what I have seen so far.

I made a compilation reducing the nominal value, but do not think it changes much.

I've also tweaked some latencies and have limited the overclocking to 1Ghz (better relation).

I've done some testing and I can see that using ondemand, the lower rate (300Mhz) is much more used, so consumption should be reduced.
[Nook Touch Android Development] pet4a:
can someone explain how to install this kernel?
[Nook Touch Android Development] guevor:
You first need to rename the uImage.img to uImage

Then you need adb on your computer and be connected on the same net (computer and nook).

After that, you can use these instructions.

I hope it will be helpful
[Nook Touch Android Development] Filippios:
Thank you for this uImage :) Hmm...is it really to have USB host support too in this kernel? And support for the NST Glowlight? Thanks.
[Nook Touch Android Development] osowiecki:
bump for USB host.

also.. at 1000 MHz system seems to be working noticeably faster (placebo effect?). Thanks for compiling this kernel.
[Nook Touch Android Development] notriddle:
This is true on smartphones because most of the battery life is consumed by the display and the cell radio. There is no cell radio on the NST, and the display consumes far less, so a larger percent of the battery consumption is from the CPU and undervolting should be more effective. (let me know if I'm wrong here)
[Nook Touch Android Development] a7t7d:
Please clarify re:Glow

Could someone please clarify whether this kernel includes support for the Glow?

I found a mt kernel for the glow from mali100 here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1679036

so i know the nst kernels can be patched for the glow: but I'm unclear whether this kernel, which I'd much rather use for the overclock, has been so patched.

Thanks!

Oh, and my vote is to keep the usb host support in a separate kernel due to battery drain.

-Alley
[Nook Touch Android Development] pet4a:
fallowed the instruction but after i reboot the device its freezes on read forever screen

am i missing something?
[Nook Touch Android Development] mali100:
I don't think it supports the glowlight, but you can just try it. The worst that could happen, is that the screen light doesn't work as long as this kernel is installed.

That's not a patched nst kernel, it's a glowlight kernel (based on the 1.1.5 nook software). Glowlight kernels work just fine on the old nst.

So what I'm trying to say is:

nst kernel on a glowlight -> works fine, just no support for the screenlight

glowlight kernel on a nst -> works perfect, no issues.

I second that, usb host is just not stable enough to be a default for everyone, particularly because a lot of people have no use for it.
[Nook Touch Android Development] guevor:
Maybe your device does not support the overclocking or may need more voltage.

What version did you use? The original post had a nominal voltage slightly higher.

Good to know. I'll take a look and if I find no problem, I'll do a single kernel for both.

About the usb host had not even tried, but if you say it is not stable, better to keep two versions.

As a novelty, I have been making tests with the display and I'll upload a new version. I am also uploading a video I have just done to show how it works.
[Nook Touch Android Development] guevor:
New version with a new fast display mode

I've been testing the epaper's driver, both to see how it work and to testing if I could get something new.

I added a parameter (/ sys/devices/platform/omap3epfb.0/graphics/fb0/fmode) that can enable a new fast mode.

By default starts at 0, so it works very much as always (although I modified some behavior, I have to do more tests), and if we put it to 1 enables a new faster mode.

To not extend much (and avoid being too much in front of the computer screen), I recorded a video showing the new mode, and also put a couple of images to compare the normal mode with the new one.

I have also created a small program that will allow us to switch between the two modes (I use the Reading now button for it)

Hope you are interested.

[Nook Touch Android Development] enrsil1983:
Thanks for the kernel.

However, I've installed the new version (in the previous post) using clockwork recovery (zipfile) but seems that overclock is inactive. Checked with "Android System Info" app.

EDIT: Reflashed using ADBWireless, now 1 GHz is recognized. And "Fast Mode" is far better than "No Refresh" when browsing web and testing games.

i used B&N update to revive my nook.
[Nook Touch Android Development] osowiecki:
"CPU Master Free" shows 1000 MHz in Performance mode.

- Can you add USB HOST support to this Kernel? It would make this one the best kernel available.

Thanks

- from time to time while the wifi is on, Nook freezes.
[Nook Touch Android Development] bisbal:
Hi Guevor,

This is really cool stuff! Thanks!

BTW some people tried to upgrade from Eclair to Froyo but all them got stuck at some point, apparently there are problems with the drivers that are closed source, but I dont see why can't we take the drivers for a similar device that uses Froyo. What is your opinion on this?

I'd be happy to help so you can minimize the amount of time in front of the computer :)

Gracias!
[Nook Touch Android Development] symbiosis01:
Hi, how do you use this? Turn it on/off etc?

Thanks
[Nook Touch Android Development] osowiecki:
1. I have bash script in Gscript (hidden under the clock icon)

2. I also have a shortcut to fastmode2 in quicknav (shortcut bar that shows up after you press the "n" button)

3. You can also bind the "n button long press" to the fastmode2. I use this keybinding to turn on NoRefresh

I use it for everything interchangeably with NoRefresh. When the contrast in PDF is too low I turn off fastmode and turn on NoRefresh.

This my config. Change quicknav shortcuts using "Nook Touch Mod Manager"

The icons are obviously different. After they get changed in NTMM you will have to reboot the NOOK to see new icons.

Hi can I please Check, does this version work on a rooted Nook running 1.2.1? Also, do you install from SD using the usual CWM boot method?

Thanks
[Nook Touch Android Development] cowbutt:
To the best of my knowledge, this kernel is based on an older set of Nook kernel sources from Barnes & Noble (i.e. it'll be a downgrade in some respects from the stock 1.2.1 kernel).

Better these days, IMHO, to use latuk's latest kernel (from http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=43797159&postcount=172) which is reportedly based on the 1.2.1 sources and also has some additional fixes and features.

You'll need to manually install via adb IIRC.
[Nook Touch Android Development] :
Thanks for the info! I've started the adb on the pc and phone, and followed those instructions:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24168019&postcount=21

But nothing happened. Am I missing something? My NST is rooted with NookManager fw 1.2.1
[Nook Touch Android Development] cowbutt:
What were you expecting to happen? Did you reboot your Nook into the new kernel?
[Nook Touch Android Development] :
I did reboot the device. There is no change to the device and the multitouch is not working. How can I check if the kernel is changed?
[Nook Touch Android Development] cowbutt:
Try using FastMode2 from http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=39529578&postcount=140. If the eInk display changes from grayscale to stippled monochrome, you're using the new kernel.

As confirmation, running

cat /proc/version

from adb or Terminal Emulator should report

Linux version 2.6.29-omap1 (user@lubuntu) (gcc version 4.4.1 (Sourcery G++ Lite 2010q1-201) ) #24 PREMPT Mon Jul 15 14:21:30 MSK 2013

Multitouch reportedly doesn't work in many apps.
[Nook Touch Android Development] :
It seems everything is ok - the version is correct and fastmode2 works. Thank you!

Are there any other tweaks that might increase the performance of the NST? Today I've read almost everything in the forum and now I don't remember anything :)
[Nook Touch Android Development] cowbutt:
Install CPU Master Free and set the scaling governor to 'ondemand' and the clock range to 300MHz-1000MHz (slight overclock from 800MHz), and enable 'set on boot'.
[Nook Touch Android Development] :
Great app!

I've also disabled all BnN's apps (except Download Provider) + Google Partner setup and some other, that I don't use. Now I have 140mb upon restart and the device is working great! I've tried to install Angry Burds - just to see the performance, but the app says that it is incompatible with the device. Any ideas?

The only side effect that I found is that the apps should be installed only from Search Market, not from google play site. Once installed from the NST, they appear in my apps i google play.

Working on the glowlight?

Very useful thread. I have managed to get the latest kernel ( latuk's version here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=43797159&postcount=172 ) working and the processor overclocked with the new fastmode. All very zippy.

My problem is that I have the Glowlight NST and latuk's kernel doesn't seem to support it (glowlight not working). Anyone managed to get around this or have an uptodate kernel that supports glowlight? Much appreciated.
[Nook Touch Android Development] scoobdriver:
Would also be very interested to hear on the Kernel for the Glowlight.. I sooo want to install this, but need the light to work :/
[Nook Touch Android Development] osowiecki:
I use v166 on my NSTGL. NoRefresh,fastmode2 and glowlight work on this kernel. There are not many differences between those kernels. If you don't need to use UsbHost, go for 166.
[Nook Touch Android Development] Daz555:
I have installled the kernel by applying the zip from CWM.

I am able to set the CPU speed via No Frills CPU Control so I know that aspect has worked. However I'm not sure what is going on with fast display. There is app for it in the App Drawer but when I click it, the screen just refreshes - nothing seems to change.

How do I configure/enable disable fast display mode?

Also more generally when using the Nook in Launcher 8 the screen just gets more and more washed out as you use it. It never seems to "clean" itself every so often as it does when in the B&N reader. Any ideas?
[Nook Touch Android Development] osowiecki:
NoRefresh - contrast settings, works only in the current apk, you have to enable it every time you switch running apk (put a shortcut on quick bar or under a physical button).

https://github.com/marspeople/NoRefreshToggle/downloads

debug for FW 1.2.x

standard for FW 1.1.x

First run starts the service, second run changes screen refresh mode.

Fastmode - works constatnly. Sometimes generates ghosting (try to fiddle with OC settings)

fastmode2 - FW 1.2.x

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=39529578

fastmode - included in kernel installation pack

for FW 1.1.x

You can only run one app at the time. NoRefresh or Fastmode. Running both at the same time will generate mess on the screen.
[Nook Touch Android Development] Crispy3000:
Looking for best kernel around for NSTG running 1.2.1. Need multitouch, fastmode, glow. USB host would be a bonus. Any recommendations?

Most of kernels around here except latuk's are based on 1.1.X sources. Sadly no glow support on his kernel.

here

This thread of course

Q: What actual benefits are there for running a kernel based on the newer sources?

Q: I've used the 166 kernel in this thread on my NST. I get serious lag that I don't get on my 1.1 base NST running the multitouch kernel. I've reduced it a bit changing the Governor. Is this because its based on early sources than the system is running?
[Nook Touch Android Development] idoit:
I'd appreciate if someone can educate me on this: Isn't NST equipped with 800Mhz processor, so how come this kernel is said to be 1Ghz or 1.1Ghz?! Is overclocking 'bad' for NSTs? battery life, e-Ink screen issues, etc. whatever bad means :D
[Nook Touch Android Development] Crispy3000:
Overclocking will only affect life of your CPU. Depending how much you overclock above the CPUs correct frequency you will non-linearly decrease its life. e.g. running at 1.1GHz will decrease lifespan and risk failure alot more than running at 900Mhz. Bare in mind the NST or any android device does not spend all time in the max possible frequency. The Governor (of which there are quite a few e.g. ondemand, conservative, performance) decides how quickly and under what circumstance the cpu frequency should change. So you may only run at 1.1Ghz 5% of the time when the NST is busy.
[Nook Touch Android Development] idoit:
So from a semi-technical point of view, if I may say so, one can conclude that: it's OK to overclock NST at 1.1Ghz.
[Nook Touch Android Development] idoit:
Latuk, can you please prepare this kernel for NST Glowlight too. It's been reported that this breaks Glowlight functionality. Thanks.
[Nook Touch Android Development] suleymanovemil8:
Can u upload kernel source code to github?:o
[Nook Touch Android Development] mabru2001:
Glow working here, you just have to open the glow settings and slide it a bit and it turns on. Annoying that you cant just hold the button but the benefits outweigh the inconvenience, would be nice if it is fixed though.

For the light to work in Glow version:

* install kernel uImage (#166), as said in first post (OP)

* then as osowiecki said in post #197 install fastmode2.apk for FW 1.2.x

then lights will work too.

If you replace your \system\app\PackageInstaller.apk with the NookManager version uploaded in xda (unzip NookManager.img then it's in \files\system\app\PackageInstaller.apk), you can install/sideload apk files like fastmode2.apk from the SD Card too.

[Nook Touch Android Development] yeahman45:
so now it's working fine with long press n? no need to change the brightness for it to light?
[Nook Touch Android Development] wozhere:
exactly, I think it was about 3 days ago when I upgraded firmware to 1.2.1, had to change levels to enable light, then I flashed something and it never happened again!

Funny thing is in the last 2 days due to messing about big time, I crashed the system 3 times and had to reformat device: power off / on & hold both down buttons and/or the n2T-Recovery_0.1.img/n2T-Recovery_0.2.img, sometimes it would not reformat and would stay in limbo (unable to register device) for hourssss!. I got Titanium backup & 2 nandroid version backups now & system is stable. However during those 3 system reformats from ground up, that (your) bug never happened again and light was always working before/during/after flashing 1.2.1/uimage/etc., weird but true!! :eek: So your bug won't last forever, I guess.
[Nook Touch Android Development] yeahman45:
Thats weird still no good for me. Did u root and then update ur nook? For me, i updated first then i rooted it.
[Nook Touch Android Development] wozhere:
I did both ways no problem but best to:

factory reset (1 of 3 ways i said )

update to 1.2.1

glownooter (flash both his files as instructed )

multitouchNSTG (just in case )
[Nook Touch Android Development] yeahman45:
can you post url to the multitouch patch? I installed the patches to enable toolbar buttons remapping, you think that might cause conflicts and making glowlight not working properly?
[Nook Touch Android Development] wozhere:
I do not think it is the multitouch thing but you can flash as won't take long. I got it from xda threads, and just uploaded it for you in link below. Flash with CWM.

I think your bug is best fixed by a reformat. install titanium free from market (top paid apps, then inside PRO version: more by developer, install free one), backup your apps & sys data and restore after reformat.

There are 2 other files in the zip file below also from xda threads, for reformatting, instructions inside & on screen when booting. THIRD way to reformat: power on, hold both button downs on the sides, at menu press power (instructions on screen). When reformatting sometimes gets stuck after connecting to internet and gives error message. This might last for hours but don't worry, it will eventually reformat, well known problem.

Reformat by all 3 ways if necessary, check glow light by n button. Upgrade to 1.2.1, check again. Install uimage for uimage #166, check again. I think a proper reformat will fix it, not later stages.
