[Nook Touch General] LastSilmaril:
Have had my nstgl for about a week now and while when I'm reading it it's 'OK', anytime I take a look at the sharpness of a normal NST I get a bit miffed. I know contrast can be upped using the NoRefresh hack but that it obviously unsuitable for reading. I also know that there was a noticeable increase in sharpness between NST firmware 1.0.1 and 1.1.0. So: does anyone have any inkling on what, exactly, changed between those two old firmwares to make the text sharper (and more ghosty, yeah...)? If we could figure that out, maybe we could figure out a way to mess with the sharpness on the Glowlight...? I just have no idea of where to look. But maybe we could start the ball rolling here!
[Nook Touch General] AvRS:
Discussion and question threads don't belong in the development forum.

Thanks

AvRS
[Nook Touch General] LastSilmaril:
It seems to me the proper way to go about this is to try to figure out what changed between 1.0.x and 1.1.x in terms to making the text darker, and then attempting to intensify this effect. I thought that the EpdController inside framework.jar had changed but it looks like that isn't the unless, I diffed the wrong files.

Thoughts anyone?
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
I thought that they changed the fonts or font rendering.
[Nook Touch General] LastSilmaril:
Did they indeed? Well the fonts I can find, but what controls font-rendering, I wonder...

Thanks for chiming in.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Azrael1793:
Hi there folks, yes i'm noob, i tried to search for a similar situation but i would apreciate another opinion since i'm observing my phone and i can't understand at all. Everything started when i was on 4.0.3 stock branded and my batteriy suffered of instant drain, random reebot and stuff, i decided to move to Cyano9 but the situation was the same and so here i am on a 4.0.3 stock italian after a deep clean. The problems persist and it's get annoying. i noticed that the phone shut down mostly when i'm using it (browsing internet, downloading stuff..), in the last few hours twice while downloading from play store, and once when playing a game, and after the shut down i have problems in restarting it; when i manage to power on (sometimes recharger is needed) the battery ha 30/40/50% lower charge. First I think it was a rom problem (cyano9), but now problems won't end, the fact that the phone reboot when i'm using it does indicate that there is still a software problem or maybe it's just the battery that can't handle anymore? i have this phone since last year and previously I've noticed a general lower charge. I hope it's not an "internal" problem, i can buy another battery, but not another phone! I've tried to recalibrate several times, two or tree time waiting for total loss of percentage and recharging it for 4 hours, using recalibration tool from Google play, as i recall a wipe battery... from clockwork, but now my cell is not rooted.

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DefiAnt2:
Hi fellow Defyers,

Didn't get any answers to my last post, so I obviously asked the wrong question.

I'm wanting to know what's the correct, fastest speed Class microSD card for my Defy. Nobody really seems to know.

There should be a spec, but I can't find it. I've searched all over this forum, but haven't found a answer. There are lots threads about which brands and classes work and which don't, but nothing much about real world speeds. I know that speeds vary. It depends on the Hardware, ROM and other Software running, but there must be a "best" answer.

I suspect my Defy SDHC card slot is really Class 6 speed, but lots of people report using Class 10 SD cards. What I want to know is are they actually faster?

I've installed the free "SD Tools" SD card Speed Tester app from the Market - Google Play. It's a very simple app, but gave me no problems. Except, speeds vary. I suggest a Reboot, don't open anything else and wait 3 minutes before running, to get the best result.

I get 9.3MB/s Write and 14.4MB/s Read from an ADATA 4GB Class 6 card.

I'm running Android 2.2.2. Can't really root it 'cos it's the Company-supplied phone.

Anyone getting much better than that out of Class 10?

Please post your results [Defy Model, Android ver, Card Make, Size, Class, Test App, Write MB/s, Read MB/s] here!

Mine:

MB525, 2.2.2, ADATA, 4GB, Class 6, SD Tools, Wr: 9.3MB/s, Rd: 14.4MB/s

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DefiAnt2:
There's apparently another factor that I haven't tested myself and forgot to mention, but that's SD Card format. Seems the cluster size also makes a difference, though that will (should, may?) depend on the type of test. Sustained, large reads and writes (as done by SD Tools) should be faster with a larger cluster size, and I think sustained speeds are what matters for shooting video, or playing HD movies.

To determine your card Format and Cluster size (one way - are there better ways?) is to connect to USB, go to a Command prompt and run CHKDSK X: where X is the Windows Drive letter for your SD Card. The first line gives the Format type. Further down, the Cluster size is the number of "bytes in each allocation unit."

BTW, if CHKDSK says you have errors on your SD Card, well, be careful! You may have errors. Or, you may have a Card Compatibility issue. But I wouldn't go Fixing them with CHKDSK. I'd investigate carefully as to the cause before going further. Like, take the card out of your phone and connect it to a PC using an SD Card Reader, and check it again. If there errors aren't still showing, you definitely have compatibility problems. And, if there are still errors, it very likely means your SD Card data IS corrupted, and was probably caused by a compatibility issue or some other problem like a phone lock up while writing data, or maybe a Battery Pull (VERY BAD IDEA) also while the card was being written.

I'm not exactly sure about how to determine the Sector size for SD Cards (which is why I'm talking Cluster size), but for Hard Disks it's normally 512 bytes / sector. SD Cards could, I suppose be different as they are not rotating media, but I haven't yet figured out how to get that data out of them. Anyway, assuming 512 bytes / sector, 32k sectors (32,768 bytes) per cluster is obviously 32,768 / 512 = 64 sectors per cluster.

Please feel free to post your results [Defy Model, Android ver, Card Make, Size, Class, Format, Cluster size, Test App, Write MB/s, Read MB/s] here!

I get 4.5mb/s write -14.3mb/s read on an class 2 sd I think, not sure, MB526 2.3.6 stock Android
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DefiAnt2:
Hi Feche, zakoo2

Thanks for that.

Turns out, nothing is simple. I have now found that it depends a lot on what "services" are also running when you run the test.

For example, if I have Data enabled, Bluetooth enabled and Satellite enabled (but none active), I get significantly lower readings, especially for Read.

On top of that, SD Tools seems to give more consistent results if you ignore the first test and run it a second and third time.

However, I have also found that my MB525 DOES get faster Read results with a Class 10 card. Only slightly faster for Write though.

I guess this means the MB525 Hardware is (more-or-less?) Class 10 capable. At least, for Read. Or, it may also depend on the individual card Manufacturer. A-Pacer not being a Top of the Line brand.

My best results, with all the services turned off:

MB525, 2.2.2, A-Pacer, 8GB, Class 10, FAT32, ??k clusters, SD Tools, Wr: 9.7MB/s, Rd: 20.7MB/s

(Forgot to check cluster size, sorry.)

I'll post other results later.

Cheers,

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] SlowCobra96:
Let me preface this with the following (usually stated by the biggest idiot in the room) I am not a total noob when it comes to computer related stuff. I have been building and maintaining networks for better than a decade. Android is a bit new to me but I can follow directions and get things working without fail... usually. Also, Please let me state this is in no way shape or form a bash against the devs. This is an honest to god post looking for others feedback to make sure I am not missing something.

I guess this is a question for others that have run both CM 9 and CM 10. Has anyone noticed a degradation of performance when running CM 10 vs CM 9 from SD on a 16gb NT?

I have tried several versions of CM 10 and all have the same issues. SOD, games don't work, frequent power downs... the usual complaints. I originally skipped CM 9 because hey I wanted the latest and greatest but decided after reading some other threads about stability to give CM 9 0.5.3 a try. Wow what a night and day difference. Everything that didn't work in 10 works perfectly in 9(using the same card and partition layout).

On my CM10 installs I tried reformatting the SD card numerous times (Transcend 8GB/CL4). I tried the last 3 updated versions posted by chrmhoffman(SP?) I've wiped and re-wiped dalvik and cache, though to be honest from the SD version I am not sure if it does anything. I have tried re-downloading the files in the event they were corrupted. I've verified that I properly placed updater-script for the SD install. I have spent hours verifying and re-verifying I didn't miss something. Other than the B&N repartition I have nothing special done to my nook. I haven't even installed a recovery or rooted the stock OS.

So perhaps I'm doing it wrong? Will an internal install make a difference?

I have read many a thread and haven't found anything comparing the 2. If they exist and this has been mentioned please direct me to the appropriate reading material.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] spcagigas:
Take a look at the CM9, CM10 and the kernel 3.0 threads in the developer section. There are two flavors of CM9 out there, one compiled with the GB kernel and one compiled with the ICS kernel (sorry, but I can't recall at which point chrmhoffman moved his CM10 build to the newer kernel). All of the problems you mentioned are well know bugs in the 3.0.x kernel at this time, and the devs are working feverishly to resolve them. In the meantime, running CM9 with the GB kernel (2.65.x) will give you a more stable platform, but no access to the advanced features in the newer kernel -- hardware video acceleration being the most obvious of the new features.

With all of that being said, I've been switching between chrmhoffman's latest CM10 build and demetris' latest CM10/cherry pick build for the last couple of days, and they are both tremendously improved over their earlier builds in terms of stability. I would confidently use either one as a daily driver at this point.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] SlowCobra96:
Ugh, see I'm an idiot. I totally spaced on the fact that it wasn't running 3.x kernel.

OK beyond that I still find CM10 really unusable and I'm not sure how others are getting it to function so well. I've tried the last 3 revisions with the same results on each of them. Could it be a matter of not running it from internal? Has anyone tried the SD version then switched to emmc? If yes what were your results and observations?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Solar.Plexus:
I actually find that ROMs run better from my SD card, but that's probably due to my SD card having pretty good speeds. As for the problems that currently exist on the CM10 ROMs, there isn't going to be much difference in BSODs and random reboots between running from internal and SD.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] spcagigas:
Yep, the biggest improvements I've seen is from turning on "Don't Keep Activities" in the Developer Options and setting the CPU Governor to HOTPLUG in the Performance Options. With these set, I'm actually able to run for days at a time without getting an SOD failure.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] SlowCobra96:
Are you ****ting me? Days? With those settings I am lucky to get mins! Seriously the reason for the post was that I get 20 mins tops before I have to reboot it. Then it takes forever to reboot stating it is optimizing applications.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] LifeWOutMilk:
I did a clean install of 04/10 the day it came out and I haven't had a single reboot or SOD. I do have some minor issues with video playback but YouTube works as does MX Player (with software decoder). Battery life has been great too with about 2 1/2-3 days on a charge.

This is with the ROM Installed to internal emmc.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] SlowCobra96:
Ill give that version a shot and see what happens.

Ok so I looked at the latest CM10 and it looks like 0.5.3. I have tried that revision with the same abysmal results as the 5.2 and 5.1 or whatever the 2 previous revisions were.

Ugh talk about frustrating! I truly don't understand what I can be doing wrong that others can daily drive it and I can't even get 30 mins out of it.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] spcagigas:
No ***ting at all. I let my son run my NT until the battery died yesterday. I plugged it in for a few hours (probably more like 6 or 7 hours, to be honest). Powered it up 12 hours ago and unplugged it to check on battery performance. Now it's been running for 12+ hours without an SOD, and is at 85% battery...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] SlowCobra96:
I hate you! hahaha Just kidding. I think I hate my nook right now though.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Demetris:
Hey guys, all well and good but I would recommend you due to serial number implemented now be careful when you show it on public forums. Maybe b&n is watching you :banghead:
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] NikkieL:
Have to 2nd the no SODs. Got a few with the first few releases but nothing since. I'm on Chris' CM10 (internal), no changes to CPU etc. The battery life is still bad but I try not let it get too low so I plug it in every night to charge.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] SlowCobra96:

You do realize the yellow triangle means nothing right? Thats just "voiding" your warranty. It will tip off your carrier that you have had custom firmware on the phone.

Hi, I'm fairly new to android, but so far I have been successful in rooting/flashing CWM and have installed a few roms(currently running DietICS). I want to install TeamLiquids Liquidsmooth JellyBean rom but I just can't seem to get this one to install. I boot in to recovery mode, find the rom and choose to install it, but I keep getting this:

Now from my understanding, AT&T, Rogers, Bell and Telus are the same model of phone so this should work, yes? Now I have no idea about coding at all, but I'm going to guess and say that the "att" in "d2att" stands for AT&T? Does this mean I need to install a stock AT&T rom rather than the Rogers one I was using in order for this to work? Or am I completely wrong and still have no understanding at all about what any of that means. Anyways, any help would be great as I really look forward to using this rom.
