[Nook Touch General] loney01843:
Hi thanks for testing!

fastmode and norefresh wont work because of my alterations to the video I believe.

Have a look in the browser and check if it refreshes because on the version of the ROM I'm using I disabled refresh.

Something similar to fast mode should also already be running (although this is only an alpha so I am still in the process of tweaking these setings).

If the any app doesn't work doesn't work try clicking on it from /data/app and running through the install process.

If that doesn't work you could help me by restoring your nook and seeing what you notice about the display behaviour before and after my zip in the following areas:

-Refresh Frequency

-Speed of multitouch zoom

-Browser scroll speed

-nook reader page speed and refresh frequency.

My goal is to reach a setting that satisfies everybody by enabling personal video settings for apps which work well on the nook with a simple interface. Any observations people can make about this will help me reach this goal.

loney01843, i sent you a PM
[Nook Touch General] martin_155:
Fastmode works perfectly fine, the only problem is the app toggling.

"adb push fmode /sys/devices/platform/omap3epfb.0/graphics/fb0/fmode" with config "1" works, app toggles perfectly back to "0" with root access, but nothing happens if you want to toggle to "1" - no root access requested by app either

norefresh crashes for me 2 when activating

Cheers :)
[Nook Touch General] loney01843:
To test no refresh (not with the app)

adb shell
# cd /sys/class/graphics/fb0/
# echo -n 1 > pgflip_refresh

To make it permanent

adb pull /system/bin/clrbootcount.sh
//Now open the file you pulled and add "echo -n 1 > /sys/class/graphics/fb0/pgflip_refresh"
adb shell mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system
adb push clrbootcount.sh /system/bin/clrbootcount.sh
adb shell chmod 755 /system/bin/clrbootcount.sh

change echo -n 1 to -n 0 to change back.

You can also use epd_percent to change the amount a screen has to change for a refresh (default 86) or epd_delay (default 100) is the time delay before a full refresh.

Eg. "echo -n 25 > /sys/class/graphics/fb0/epd_delay"

US Nook Simple Touch 1.2 with UK Nook Glow 1.2?

OP said: Don't feel worried about the procedure. If you backup the way listed in the link, you are safe. And adb installs are easy (believe I already posted a guide to ADB over wireless and modified some drivers to work on USB

You are correct on all counts! ........... etc.

Anyway guys, we will get there!

...........

Experts:

I am totally new to Android rooting. (My experience is limited to hacking a Dell-mini9 into a Mac OS 10.5.8 (thanks to mydellmini forum)).

So, Android people, patience please...

I got a new US Nook SimpleT for US$49. at Target Nov. 22.

I updated firmware to 1.2. Using MAC OS 10.8 and B&N official site.

Am I correct to understand:

- that the US NST 1.2 can be rooted following the UK Noot Glow method using the OP method in this thread?

- Can or should I use TinyNoot?

- Can someone steer me to the exact post and revisions where I should start?

- Or should I wait a bit till the various little bugs are out?

As a retired academic, I am mainly interested to epub, pdf, web browser, maybe gmail, etc., but no games.

What you all are doing is wonderfully generous, and you have my respect and gratitude.

[Nook Touch General] jjinkou2:
i would like to try the fastmode but i don't really understand the quote above

what exactly i have to do ? Should i send the adb command

"adb push fmode /sys/devices/platform/omap3epfb.0/graphics/fb0/fmode"

and then it will ask me to enter the config "1" ?

Edit

ok found it here.

Working with 1.2.1 yet?

Has anyone gotten root with 1.2.1? I updated and it seems as though it won't boot from SD now. SD card works, but even using a recover to 1.0 img burned to the card, I am stuck at 1.2.1 and rooting is not going through. Thanks in advance for any advice.
[Nook Touch General] Teddybearthe1st:
Hey loney,

I'm replying on this thread because I'm not permitted to reply on your thread for your Alpha 3 ROM. I'm pretty new to rooting, however using your thread I managed to root using tinynoot. I couldn't get apps installed through the adb wireless even after following your guide by downloading the apk file, dropping it in the same folder navigated to using cmd prompts and using the codes. I also didn't like the interface of the tinynoot so i did a restore back to my normal un-rooted nook.

I then looked into your Alpha3 Rom and seen your pictures you uploaded and it looked like a better interface (which would also have apps pre-installed). However, I tried using the same rooting method as tinynoot but every time I put the CWM SD with your Alpha 3 file into my nook it freezes on the picture of the clockwork gear on the n. Is there somewhere I'm going wrong? I would love to get my nook rooted as the reviews on the pdf readers sound more appealing than squinting at the writing on my screen, which I'm dong now.

Yes I am using Democracy that is the Port From Ace and Yes I read the Rom Info and the Kernel Was Fire Kernel. Maybe the person who ported it did not changed it.....

it will change performance, on a positive way depending on how you scale. but not the appearance.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rmead01:
I had been using the ktoonsez kerner for a few weeks now and it improved my batt life like I couldn't believe. Recently got an HDMI adapter so I could watch some movies on tv's at my friends/gf/parents houses and whatnot and it wouldn't work. After much trouble shooting I figured out the reason it wouldn't work was due to having the ktoonsez kernel installed.

I'm currently flashed back to completely stock except root and my batt life is sub par. Phone has been off charge for about 40 mins and i'm already down 5% with no use. Just driving to work for the most part.

Are there any kernels out there with known working HDMI output? I'm stock TW on ICS still.

I updated yesterday using Kies. Make sure your battery is well charged (70% or more) and let it run. It looked like mine had stopped after downloading the components. After 20 minutes of looking like nothing was happening, the firmware proper started to download.

With all the downloads then flash, it probably took just under 2 hours (not the 5-30 minutes that Kies claims).

Most likely the download servers are just busy.

Hi @ll

Yesterday I had 4.0.4 DBT Stock rom installed by " OTA". Kies show mit instead DBT three XXX and didnt support my Galaxy Note!?!

According to type of Service code *2767*4387264636# shows me:

1.SMS=off

2.Pcode not activ

3.Prod

Whats wrong? Today I go back to Gingerbreath with CODE_N7000XXLC1_CL1003701_REV02_user_low_ship.tar and Pit.

Kies support now my phone and will give update, but Pcode is still not active.

How can I activate it?

Thanks for help, I search long time for solution but never find.

EDIT: After flash with odin, all fine only I see at last this suspect info: Can't access to system csc ordner. (in yellow) I think that is the reason why pcode is not activ? So what can I make? Is efs folder damaged? My Imei is still activ, and same as under accu.

My real problem is, so I think, that new flashed firmware hav'nt access, after reboot, to system csc ordner, further that is the reason why Pcode is'nt activ.

although I use Zoom FX every now and then, I am having a very good experience and excellent results with the stock camera app. I've found out that - just like every good point-and-shoot camera - changing the settings of the camera for suitable values (scene, lighting, focus, etc) gives you excellent results, much better than any other app can give you.

Another fun camera app is "Paper Camera". It does have some neat effects, but it is for fun only.

For editing the images I still like Photoshop better! There's no way editing an image in a cell phone can beat using Photoshop on a 27" IPS LCD display.

- wifi killing to kick downloading hoggers from a wifi network i usually use

- skype/gtalk with some mates during gaming sessions (found out that with background noise, it's sometimes its better to use skype on the phone than on my computer, probably some noise suppressing tech somewhere working)

- xda

- network analysis (i work in IT)

- browsing the internetz (do most of it with my phone nowadays)
