solved

I apologize. There were descriptions of everything in hind side. Multitouch and Fastmode is working, that's all I need. Thank again. Rob.
[Nook Touch Android Development] gantenbein:
Mmh. I'm a bit shy now that I already wasted some of your time, but still I have one more question: Could I replace the 177 uImage with the 166 uImage in the install-kernel-174-modified.zip to install kernel 166 without the need of ADB, or is that naive ? Thanks.
[Nook Touch Android Development] osowiecki:
I'm not sure at the moment.

According to this thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1721680

replacing both 'uImage' & 'uRamdisk' should work.

If it's not that simple (for eg. the .zip file must be signed or new 'update-binary' must be generated) the CWM should complain that the .zip file is not valid and prohibit installation.

I'll check it on friday.
[Nook Touch Android Development] gantenbein:
Thanks a lot. I will get my sisters Nook tomorrow. I first thought of starting to find a way of cloning Nooks, but now I will do this one manually and let you know if the 174 zip with the 166 kernel worked. I guess if I have a Nookmanager backup not much can go wrong.

EDIT: I tried to reinstall the package with the replaced uImage into my father's nook. (1.2.1 with Nookmanager and kernel 166) and it said "installation aborted", when I switch the signature check on it says signature check failed or the like.

Bad luck.
[Nook Touch Android Development] osowiecki:
OK... I just found

"install-kernel-166.zip"

on my hard drive.

I have no idea why it got removed from the first post. Maybe the link is posted somewhere else.

Anyway, download it from the attachment.
[Nook Touch Android Development] gantenbein:
Wow - thanks a lot. Big kiss. Saves me a lot of time, as I have to root a whole bunch of Nooks soon.

I just tried it with mine, as I wanted to update to 1.2.1 anyway.

Everything works perfect (OC kernel, multitouch, NoRefresh) - now this is the best reading device ever.

Giving Rooted nook w/ 174 kernel to someone else

Has anyone been able to change the gmail account on a rooted nook and not break SearchMarket? The experience I've found is that the initial gmail account used in the rooting process can't be changed. If it is changed later, all appears to work, but when downloading apps from the market (via SearchMarket), a network error appears and the app fails to download. If the gmail account is changed back to the original gmail account used during the root, then I can download apps again. I am deleting the accounts.db on the nook to clear the gmail accounts which may be part of the problem. Has anyone discovered a way to root the nook and then be able to change the gmail and have the market (even SearchMarket) work?

(This is relevant to this thread because I'm later applying the fastmode patches to the kernel, although I guess there might be other threads more directly relevant.)

I just tried these instructions with adb wireless and commands seemed to go through. Now every so often my nook reboots and I get the message Install Failed. I used ulmage v1.66.

Any suggestions on why this is not working or what to do to properly install kernel?

Thanks
[Nook Touch Android Development] osowiecki:
1. "button on screen" - you can install 'Legacy Launcher' and add Gscript script as a shortcut on your desktop.

2. If you wan't to add fastmode to 'quicknav' or assign it to a hardware button it needs to be embedded in an installed APK.

If you have the right knowledge, use 'Apktool' and change the original FastMode.apk.

Today I tried to do this but I have failed on signing a package. My personal certs are not valid (my lack of knowledge is showing). I'll try to play with it next week.

This might be useful for you if you will decide to do some dev work :

[Nook Touch Android Development] osowiecki:
For me it seems to be unrelated to the adb process itself.

Maybe your uimage is corrupted?

Try to install v166.zip using CWM microSD.

Search for CWM thread, prepare mSD according to instructions, copy v166 zip to CWM sd, Boot CWM and select 'install from zip'.

You can also try to set up logcat in adb and see what are the last commands before crashing.
[Nook Touch Android Development] apap:

It's normal than i have big ghosting effect? I don't see any ghosting in movies on yt. I have #174 kernel and fastmode2.apk

And hhow I can change contrast (gamma)
[Nook Touch Android Development] osowiecki:
Try to lock your nook and than unlock it after running FastMode2 (power button). This should remove some of the ghosting.

I use #v166 kernel and ghosting seems to be minimal after doing that (performing forced normal screen refresh).

> change contrast

You can't do that in FastMode (I have no idea how to implement it at the moment (if it is even possible))

Contrast settings work in NoRefresh (which probably do not work on v174).

Running 176 version, however SetCPU, shows only max 1000 unlocked, not 1100Mhz. Did the kernel install properly?
[Nook Touch Android Development] David0226:
Yes, you likely installed it properly. The thread title still says 1100Mhz, but the creator of this kernel indicates in post #6 of this thread that he has limited overclocking to 1Ghz (1000Mhz). See below.

[Nook Touch Android Development] apap:
Is there a way to tell when fastmode is working. I have a FastMode app in my apps but when I click on it I simply get a flash of the screen. If this is a toggle how do I know when it is active? i am also having difficulty using norefresh with single apps (quicknav does not have a button for norefress)... Any help on these matters greatly appreciated.
[Nook Touch Android Development] osowiecki:
You can change shortcuts in quicknav using 'Nook Touch Mod Manager'

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1991048

You will notice that fastmode is working because the whole screen will start to act like a regular LCD (no screen refreshes).

Norefresh only works on certain kernels (eg 166).

When you start it for the first time nothing happens, you have to run it second time to get it working. The first run only starts a service.

Also, Norefresh tries to set up auto contrast when it starts. Go to NoRefresh settings and select "contrast adjustment - always appear".

Do you have the right versions of FastMode and NoRefresh?

For FW 1.2.x you should use debug version of NoRefresh and FastMode2 (or Gscript).
[Nook Touch Android Development] apap:
Thanks. I have kernel 166 and os 1.2.0. I will install the mod. I am using debug version of refresh but have been using fast mode installed with kernel 166. Do I need to install fastmode2? If so I will search for it.

Edit: I found FastMode2 and it seems to work. Also installed 'Nook Touch Mod Manager' and now I can quickly activate NoRefresh. Thanks again Osowiecki!

Hi!

I've tried the kernel 174 version, and fast mode works as it should but the normal mode is a bit messed up now. The edges of the display are now gray, it used to be white. And the normal mode is somewhat slower than it used to be and acts different. Should I try v166?
[Nook Touch Android Development] osowiecki:
If you have problems with 174, 166 would be the best choice. Remember that 166 does not support USB Host.

To run UsbGPS you should use kernel which included driver for your's UsbToCom converter like this

replace uImage

run UsbMode

Plug your device by OTG cable (sometime you should use UsbHub with external power)

Set HOST Mode ON

Look at View

Your's device should by on list and big dot show - driver was loaded

after that you can ran serial console set speed identical sets on device and look IMEA info

- it is made on Silabs cp2104 usb-to-com

- nook for some reason uses cp2101 driver for it

I don't see any other differences wrt my desktop Linux

from this I can see two possible versions:

Dear fellows,

I need your help. My colleague has some how bricked his Galaxy I9000 device. As per discussion he said he tried to upgrade the rom and accidently the rom he selected for flash via odine was for I9003 which is a variant of Galaxy S line of product.

Now what happened is the phone is completely dead no download mode nothing its all dead. I prepared a USB Jig and plugged in and followed our expert's guidelines but still no success. The device is still dead. One hunch of mine was drained battery and I put it on charging and observed the back (camera side) was slightly heating up when i checked after couple of hour of charging but the situation remained the same.

Any suggestion to recover this device and what has happened to the device? Is the samsung phone are so fragile? Im personally using Xperia X10i and never faced such problem even bricked its all recoverable via software workarounds.

Please suggest

Greetings all!

Lately I've been just dying to replace my old phone, to a smartphone. The main reason was basic browsing and GPS capabilities.

I've been reading a lot of the Defy's capabilities, but I'm not sure how pleased everyone in the community in the everyday use of it.

-As mentioned, my main concern would be it's gps capabilities. Do you have any trouble picking up GPS signal?

-Android-wise, which build is considered proper for everyday use? Is the Quarx's JB suitable for the defy? Are there any critical flaws atm?

-Camera is the least of my concerns, but I've read that you could manage HD video recording. Is it true?

The price of the defy is really appealing. I'm only looking for an entry-level phone, and as I recall the CPU of the defy is pretty strong as is.

Hope you guys can lure me into the community :)
