this is a link to download cwm "mediafire .com/?tpckcmp9pr5e826" i had to put a space between "mediafire and .com" cuz the forum wont let me post links yet. Just put this file on a micro sd card..turn nook off and insert card... and when you turn on the nook is should boot to recovery..hope this helps

Systems6,

I went ahead and downloaded your .zip, and extracted the files and placed them on the root of the SD Card. I placed the SD Card back into the NT. Still no dice, not booting up at all. Any other suggestions?

Thx.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] systems6:
hope this helps you out...

well it looks like you have to reboot to stock...then root and flash rom again...here is the link to return to stock "http://raywaldo .com/2012/06/make-unbrick-repartition-image/" again i put a space in between the 'raywaldo and .com"...looks like your going to take the long route to fix it good luck hope you get it running again

** UPDATE:

I was able to follow the instructions on the following thread and made a bootable MicroSD Card running CWM v5.0.2.8:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1640958

Once I was booted into CWM, I tried to do a Nandroid Restore, the way I always have. Unfortunately, I got the following error message:

'MD5 mismatch!'.

Now, I have never encountered this. I made sure that MD5 Signature verification was toggled 'Off'. Not sure if that would have made a difference or not.

Unfortunately, it didn't help. Now I'm stuck with a Nandroid that I cannot restore.

Can anyone suggest something for me to try, in order to try to restore this Nandroid? If not, I will go Plan B and restore to Factory v1.4.2.

However, if I go that route, I still would like some answers to my initial questions about which ROM to go with and etc. Might as well go to JB if I have to start all over.

Thanks!

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Vector2nds:
Plan B starting to look better and better...

Well here another plan B that was tested earlier and it took 15 minutes from start to finish.

If you want to go to JB then I would recommend this rom and the only thing that you can't do on BN app is that you will not be able to use the books that have record your voice in book or play the read to me books (I think once you are not on the stock bn rom, those two parts stop working). I run kindle app for library loans, overdrive other e-readers without problems,
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ddurandd:
I got the MD5 mismatch error once when I renamed the Nandroid backup directory. I don't think it liked the spaces in the directory name. Try renaming it to the original name (if you even changed it).
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] liquidzoo:
There is a link in my signature that works to root at the very least firmware 1.4.3. Anything that you purchased from the B&N store will still be there if you restore to stock, if you install the Android Market again, anything you purchased will still be there (and you can go online and see anything free that you had installed, and install it from there).

If you do choose to install another ROM, same thing. Books purchased from the B&N Market should be available in the Nook app from the marketplace (I have not confirmed this with my own tablet, though).

Hello Ladies n Gents

I have a problem on my galaxy note.

Recordings on my phablet are horrible because of AGC (automatic Gain control).

I even bought IkMultimedias iRigMicCast. It works on the galaxy note, cuz its simply plugged to the headphone jack.

Even if I connect my Rode NT-1A condensor mic via my tube-microphone-pre-amp via an old videocable (4-pole to cinch) to the galaxy note it sounds horrible (like a grammophone) in apps that record videos because those apps dont have the option to disable AGC. In audio recording apps that are able to disable AGC it sounds pretty good.

Now I found a file called /system/etc/audio_effects.conf.

Im a newbie to Android, but I know a lot about linux. So i dont have the courage to try this out myself:

I just purchased my galaxy note and dont want to be stuck at boot time. I dont have the time to set it up again right now. I dont know if any other configuration files fail to load without this agc part. Then I might be stuck at boot time. Maybe simply the audio configuration fails and I can simply take a backupped file and my configuration is reset to the status before.

So here is what I think might work:

I GUESS /system/etc/audio_effects.conf is used to tell the system which audio effects to load.

In there you find this piece:

# list of effects to load. Each effect element must contain a "library" and a "uuid" element.

# The value of the "library" element must correspond to the name of one library element in the

# "libraries" element.

# The name of the effect element is indicative, only the value of the "uuid" element

# designates the effect.

# The uuid is the implementation specific UUID as specified by the effect vendor. This is not the

# generic effect type UUID.

# effects {

# <fx name> {

# library <lib name>

# uuid <effect uuid>

# }

...

agc {

library pre_processing

uuid aa8130e0-66fc-11e0-bad0-0002a5d5c51b

}

I think, if agc is diabled in this file, it is disabled system wide. I dont know if this has any influence on other things like call mic quality etc.

To disable it I'd put some '#' without the quotes in front of all four agc lines.

After reboot the new audio configuration without AGC may be loaded and recordings may be as good as the device is able to.

Maybe someone wants to try this out or better: an android developper could tell me if this is wrong...

If you tried it out, plz post your experiences here...

Good luck

Firstly, you've already posted exactly the same thing in the Galaxy S2 forum http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1172048

Secondly, why would you ask someone else to try out something that MIGHT break their phone when you aren't willing to try it yourself? Either be a man and grow some balls or don't, but don't expect someone else to do your dirty work for you. :banghead:
[General Questions and Answers] drzenka:
Im sorry I wasted your time.

Im trying to get an answer from someone who knows something about the android audio system. Especially the soundsystem, as you can read. Maybe someone disabled some other modules from this conf file.

If you dont like this question (and its meant as a question, thats the reason , why theres a big q in the title and a question mark behind it) dont read it. In the quoted other thread they even give bounties for a solution, so why not give out my try of a solution for free. Even if it might be a risk.

no need to call someone names, I guess, isnt it?!

Have a nice day and plz dont play some kind of thread police. I just wanted to ask this question in an own thread. I hope this doesnt get me in forum jail or something. Calm down.

[General Questions and Answers] drzenka:
ok, now I found the time to try it out myself.

It seems to have no effect. Although I think in the stock camera app, agc seems to be disabled.

But I cant really tell, because sound the sound in the stock video cam is absolute crap.

So either the modification of audio_effects.conf has no effect at all, or other video apps like lgcamera and other have there own agc algorithm, which is crappy, too, or they have their own way to activate agc, if its not available.

If anyone has any other ideas how to disable agc, youre welcome.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KyraOfFire:
So, the question is, for that 16GB of ROM, how much to I actually get to use?

As seen in the attachment bellow, about 12.9GB is "accessible", and in that 12.9GB, another 2GB is listed as "system data". Is that 3GB for ROM and 2GB are used for my apps? It doesn't make any sense to me that Android need 3GB to run.

How much does system use, what kinds of system are there and why does it need that much? Windows XP doesn't even need that much of space.

I wouldn't put the fragile Nexus 4 at the top of build quality when the glass cracks easily. There's even been reports that temperature change (it being warn in your hand and then sat on a counter top) cracks it. Plastic is better build quality because it's built to last.

Thanks.. Well written comparison between the three phones and i think it's fair for the most part.

Highly biased towards the note 2 but that's your opinion
[HTC Droid DNA] adrynalyne:
Unless the DNA overheats or I use chrome, I don't see low framerate. I got it to overheat and used chrome at the same time today.

Wasn't pretty.

I wish people would stop calling low framerate lag. Lag is not even a relevant term.
[HTC Droid DNA] tsnstuff:
LOL This sounded like a "Gather around kids, let me tell you about these phones, I had all 3!" "ooohhhhhhh aaaahhhhh"

Seriously though I have to agree with the OP on Touchwiz. I have a Note 10.1 tablet and I had a Galaxy SIII. I traded my S III to my sister for her upgrade so I could get the Note 2 on Verizon when it came out. Got tired of waiting and got the DNA. The DNA is a great phone, don't get me wrong, but after playing around with the S III and the Note 10.1 I found Sense to be just . . . boring. The whole 1080p thing really gets boring quick and I was just left with a skin that doesn't do all that much.

Today a friend was showing me that she bought the S III I recommended her to buy and I was showing her all these little things I liked and I kept having to say "no, my new one doesn't do that... but look at the screen!".

I carry 2 phones with me at all times. My Serious "work" phone (Verizon) because I need a phone that will work wherever I travel and my "Just for fun" phone (T-Mobile prepaid).

There is a lot I do like about the DNA, call quality is great, display really is amazing, I love the looks of it and it just feels reliable. So I made the decision that I'm going to keep the DNA on Verizon and instead I'm going to replace my Galaxy Nexus on T-Mobile with the Note 2. I think it makes sense, Verizon is my Reliable line and I think the DNA will be the most reliable PHONE, T-Mobile is my for fun line so I think the Note 2 will be the most fun phablet for it.
[HTC Droid DNA] adrynalyne:
That's a whole bunch of hardware to carry around lol.
[HTC Droid DNA] tsnstuff:
It really is an addiction LOL, I carry a manbag (IT'S NOT A PURSE!) with my Galaxy Note 10.1 and my Nexus 7 and my Bluetooth keyboard and a bunch of cables and a portable hard drive and chargers and then I carry my 2 phones around and I don't do **** with any of it. It's always a "Just in case" thing. It's that Ti and Ne kicking in.
[HTC Droid DNA] Venekor:
People always slagged off Touchwiz but I tried Android on a phone in store in 2010 and I hated it, I then decided to go for the iPhone 4. When it came to the GS2 launching I had gotten so fed up of how restrictive IOS is that I sold my iPhone 4 and got the GS2 last year. It was so much better than the Android I used before and I messed around with lots of roms after people saying how stock is much better and I hated it, stock just lacked so many features that TouchWiz had. I also thought the apps Samsung had on the phone all just worked, where the stock apps felt rather dated. Then using the Note 2 in store I just the added functionality of the pen, especially being able to quickly write numbers down while on the phone without having to go through menus. PiP and the multiple windows open is just something I so badly want now and I loved how Samsung have improved TouchWiz so much since the GS2.

I would buy the Note 2 if the specs were more impressive, however the Mali 400 is a real let down, it struggled a bit on the GS2 and it would be even worse on the Note 2.

Though I've tried The Nexus 4 at work as my mate has one and I still think stock Android is **** compared to Touchwiz.
[HTC Droid DNA] geoff5093:
I truly appreciate this, thank you very much! I agree with everything you said as well (as far as the DNA and N2 go, I haven't used the N4). You've made the decision to return the DNA in for the Note 2 that much easier!
[HTC Droid DNA] .torrented:
DNA has no screen stuttering when navigating the launcher or any of the apps... there will be some moments when its loaded up with apps that ive been using where it might have a very slight stutter but it usually corrects itself ... I personally love sense compared to anything else... the rest of my family all got GS III's and i hate touchwiz so much... the entire UI stutters from opening apps navigating screens and settings.. haven't played with a note II yet so i cant really go into detail with that...
[HTC Droid DNA] driftmania:
Don't know what your whole family did to their S3's but I'm pretty sure I'm not alone in saying the S3 is quite smooth. Of course its not nexus 4 quick though
[HTC Droid DNA] Realm11984:
I had the note2 on T-Mobile for two weeks and now the DNA for one week. They are both great phones! Personally I don't care for sense or touchwiz, but then again that's why we are all here....you can get your android os anyway you like. I settled on the DNA because, I have always used HTC, even pre android, and think that they have the finest build quality in the android world. Also the note2 felt just slightly to big.

I think it really comes down to those little personal preferences when dealing with these power house phones! You won't be sorry with any of these.
[HTC Droid DNA] schott12521:
I really wanted to like the S3, but nothing about it was 'woah' for me. It didn't look that good, and I didn't mind waiting to see what else was around the corner. So I got the DNA, and I'm blown away. I really don't care about comparing Touchwiz vs. Sense vs. Pure Android, because regardless of what skin I have, I'm going to either find an AOSP ROM or I'll be uninstalling all the bloat ware and using a different launcher.

The S3 is a good phone, and I would recommend it, but I love my DNA a lot more. The screen isn't a novelty for me really, its just beautiful and not Pentile.

The note2, I feel like that's not considered on the same category. I've never gotten to play with one, but if we are looking at $200 on contract, DNA is the way to go and not go to up for the Note2.
[HTC Droid DNA] SwiftLegend:
Pretty insightful, especially since I'm deciding between the DNA and Note 2. I haven't tested either phone in the store yet, but I plan on doing that soon. Swaying to the DNA because of the awesome design (IMHO) and the screen. Note 2 is looking good because of the removable battery and expandable storage. 6+GB of music will fill the DNA FAST since I can't really use cloud storage (NYC subway has no service). I have only 2 problems with the Note 2 from all the videos I've seen: 1. That sore thumb of a logo on the home button 2. Doesn't seem like the S-Pen works with AOSP roms like CM/AOKP/PA, based on what I've seen with the Note. Sort of a problem since I'm sure the S-Pen is a considerable amount of the final cost of the phone.

How clear would you say the screen on the Note 2 is? I've really only experienced the screen on my GNexus and a few of the first Galaxy S phones. I actually love my Nexus's screen, but at 5.5", I can't think of it being as nice.
[HTC Droid DNA] adrynalyne:
Talked to a friend of mine who has tested both. He feels the Note 2 is no faster than the DNA even at lower resolution.
[HTC Droid DNA] starscream86:
I agree here 100% I hated...HATED! Sense on my thunderbolt but this is a whole new sense.. I'd almost venture to say I prefer this newest sense to stock android... Just my input on that
[HTC Droid DNA] nkd:
This is very good thread, not biased at all to be honest. I was in love with the DNA display for the first few days, and guess what it wore off, lol. Now I can't tell a difference between 1080p and 720p lol. I now tell people hey you won't be able to tell after 2 days, lol.

I am about to go tomorrow to check out the note 2 and see if the narrow design fits my hands. I might switch it out but I am not going in with the mindset to pick one up, I however will be ready to exchange it if I am impressed. I am really tired of sense I like other launchers and for some reason they don't seem to run as fast on the 1080p screen.

Sense is so unproductive it looks nice but seriously why the hell do I have to go in to settings to change a wallpaper, the long press on home screen just lets you add widgets, so stupid. HTC seems to have made it worse.

I love the DNA but if I am as impressed by the note 2 I might exchange it out tomorrow.

Trust me unless your friend was a robot he wouldn't know. They are both fast phones, if someone says they can see the difference when they use it, they are most likely lying, lol.
[HTC Droid DNA] jiwengang:
I could be wrong but regarding battery category,

Is your Notes 2 using TMobile's network ? since Verizon's Note 2 is only available tomorrow, I guess the Notes 2 you own is GSM version.

Verizon's DNA is running on LTE.

So I would give it some kudos for running on LTE doing the heavy usage you had for 4-5 hours with 2020 mAH battery, (note 2 has a 1.5 bigger battery inside.)

Uhm, because it's a comparison thread? In between the "my phone can beat up your phone" rants there's actually been some helpful information that would be useful for people that don't own any of the phone's being discussed and are considering them. Let's face it. People married to the DNA are going to defend it and the same for N2 and N4 owners. To those people any negative comparisons are going to be "annoying."
[HTC Droid DNA] Ma$etas:
the op stated that the N2 was better but out of the galaxy note 2 and the Droid dna which one (while both having good reception ) gets the call first, receives the text message first? Does either phone have phantom voicemails, phone not ringing missing calls even when the caller is right next to you and your phone shows full bars? .... like the sgs2 does
[HTC Droid DNA] jayochs:
What information here is good? The fact that a phone with 1000mah bigger of a battery gets longer battery life? Omg SHOCKING. Anyone who can't figure that out without this thread should own an iPhone. Or the fact that touchwiz uses faster animation speed than sense?

This thread is full of fluff. If anyone needs a true opinion, go play with them yourselves. I'd never buy a note 2 despite the fact I enjoy Samsung as much as HTC and there's people who would do the opposite. It's about choice and rather than read this, I say go watch YouTube videos comparing (since there's like 5000) and goto a store and play with them.

In airplane mode? I called your bluff in another thread and I will again. I owned the DNA and consider myself a seasoned Android user. I call BS because I could barely get close to 4 no matter what I did.

On my Note 2, I got 7 and it was a pretty big feat. You are trying to tell me that you nearly got one hour less on a 2020mah battery compared to a 3100mah battery? Come on bro.
[HTC Droid DNA] Itzvik:
WHO GIVES A **** ABOUT SCREENTIME....

WHAT COULD YOU POSSIBLY BE DOING ON YOUR PHONE FOR 7 HOURS? WHEN YOU GOT *****ES TO TALK TO "IN REAL LIFE, NOT TEXTING THEM" PLUS YOUR JOB "IF YOU HAVE ONE" AND OTHER THINGS.

I mean honestly, I am sick and tired of people *****ing about screen time. If you want to be on your phone 24/7 go buy yourself a laptop or carry your charger with you at all times. The DNA is a phone just like every other one and with 5" screen size which is the ideal size for a screen. I currently own the DNA and would say that some aspects of the phone are great but there are other things that make me hate this phone. FYI the battery is not one of them...I get more battery out of this phone than I did on my SGSIII.

My dad owns the Note II on T-Mobile and that monster is too damn big...on paper the .5" might not seem any different but it is..overall, the phone is heavy. I know that it might do what you want and it includes features that are essential to some people but...most of us are just regular phone users...and we use our phones for what they are not for what they could be.

I tried to like the note II, I play with it every time that I go to my parents house. I still cant get used to it..the size and the gay stylus which will makes you look like a retard in a crowd of people.

When a chick walks up to you and ask you why your phone is so big you tell her all the features that the phone has...specially the 3000K+ battery that allows you to be on the phone 24/7.

Now, with this said STFU about the phones...to each his own...we all know the differences between them.
