question on touch screen

I just downloaded the game blitz, and when i play it, both the touch screen side is acting up. when i want to switch the last column, on either side, it actually affects the second last column. Is this a problem with screen calibration? Is also happen with fluffyfree. Any ideas? thanks
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] InKr:
Same for me. Initially I though it can be related to my SD card (Sandisk 16GB class 4), but it still occurs even after I've moved to Hybrid. But now it is better because it doesn't stuck on 99% in stock.

Hello all,

My Google Play Movies and TV is not syncing with my account. All other play services are though. Anyone have any idea why that might be? Anyone else have this problem?

Additionaly, and more importantly: I often run into the problem that I lock my screen, and when I go to unlock, the screen will flash as unlocked for a split second then lock again. It is VERY frustrating. There is nothing I can do to actually unlock the device and I'm forced to reboot. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] InKr:
Actually there is a workaround for this. You can open Quick Settings panel from lockcreen by swiping top right area down and then go to Settings from there. Pressing Home key will return you to unlocked Home screen :).
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] mikelav456:
Thanks but I think I'm going to try CM10 to see if it's more stable for me. No super-compelling features on 10.1 that I can think of being upset losing...
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] verygreen:
I am planning to change sdcard format to only have three partitions.

Benefits:

- Stock would no longer be spooked by our partition layout removing the hang at 99% issue.

- shared data and sdcard space meaning you won't run out of one, but not the other.

- can have proper self-contained sdcard that would have main storage on sdcard (for portability across multiple devices)

Downsides:

- You'll need to recreate your sdcard when upgrading

- Since there would be no separate vfat partition for "sdcard" now, there'd be no mounting of it under windows (not that it worked before, I think) to e.g. copy initial install files there. You'll need to use adb to push stuff in.

- This will probably cause some problems for hybrid setup, which wants to have /data on emmc, so then additional /data on sdcard is pointless I guess, probably could be repurposed to be vfat-only, ala current sdcard partition. Will need some more massage of init.rc (with advent of emmc install, I think hybrid setup is mostly pointless, anyway).

I there are some killer arguments against that I missed, please speak up soon while I am testing this updated partitioning setup here.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] leapinlar:
Depending how you implement it, it should not impact Hybrid much. Hybrid already uses its own SD layout. If you are only changing vold.fstab in the ROM itself, only minimal effort is needed to fix it.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] leapinlar:
After rereading your post carefully, I think I understand what you are meaning. You plan to make the p3 partition very large and make a /data/media, same as stock. Really good idea.

And with the new kernel build the SD might respond better. And with better SD response, there may be no need for Hybrid to reduce reboots.

And another advantage of this scheme is that app storage capacity goes up with increased SD size. Even though you made the old scheme use 1.9GB for /data, some users complained it was not big enough.

Just a suggestion though, with your CWM now fixed so that it can read from internal memory, you might be able to change your instructions to have users copy the CM zip to internal memory and flash from there instead of messing with ADB for Windows users.

[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] verygreen:
Ok, new update:

cm-10.1-20130527-UNOFFICIAL-ovation-sdcard.zip

Changes:

- New sdcard layout with emulated storage and 3 partitions. This requires that you redo your sdcard using sdcard-cwm-early7.1.img.gz!

- Cherry-picked sdcard fixes from B&N 2.1 drop, this seems to make my sandisk U1 card much more stable, but still I see occasional io errors/reboots.

- Microphone input volume is now fixed.

Quirks:

- In android file transfer you see sdcard storage labelled as "Internal storage" and Nook emmc storage as "SD Card" - this is intentional (I might change names a bit later for clarity). Internal means internal to this install and nook storage is actually external to the install.

- Now that we know sdcard "fix" is not a complete fix, please extensively test previously well-working class 4 sdcards to see if any regressions have appeared.

I'll update OP later once I get some confirmation that this build is not totally shot.

Duh, this was supposed to go up yesterday together with emmc update, but the "only one post in 30 seconds got me"
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] verygreen:
Well, that's tricky, I tried to achieve this, but both android and recovery are not expecting to have more than one "emulated" storage.

I beat cm into submission yesterday, so it works and shows up properly, but in CWM, while I forcefully mount it under /emmc, the option to install from emmc is not available, so it would be impossible to install from emmc at the moment. Need to figure out how to make that happen in cwm too.

In other news, I spent Saturday trying to figure out Nook app incompatibility issue in Market, and I don't see anything wrong.

All the usual culprits - resolution/dpi are fine and matching what's in manifest. The only tw orequested features - wifi and touchscreen are obviously present, yet it does not work on NookHD, but works on Kindle Fire HD which is a very similar build.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] leapinlar:
One thing you might try, use your post-recovery.sh to mount it there as an emmc. Bokbokan did that successfully in his recovery.

Sent from my Nook HD+ running CM10.1 on emmc.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] verygreen:
Yes, I do that, it's part of early6 recovery. But the option to install from "internal memory" does not show up.

Hm, perhaps I still need to declare the mountpoint in fstab....
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] verygreen:
Yes, that was the trick.

sdcard-cwm-early7.img.gz
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] leapinlar:
Downloaded and burned to new SD. You indeed fixed it. Partitioned SD nicely. Just a nit, for next update, rename to SD CWM based... instead of EMMC CWM based...

I am downloading CM zip now and will flash as soon as I get it.

One complication I can see with stock is it cannot use the SD for extra media storage. But there may be a workaround.

Sent from my Nook HD+ running CM10.1 on emmc.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] verygreen:
duh, it was right in early6, but reverted for early 7.

what do you mean? stock still can use normal sdcards for media storage.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] leapinlar:
I meant it cannot use your SD. Normal are ok. But people like to boot back and forth without changing the SD. But there may be a stock fix I can come up with.

[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] verygreen:
Well, could not be helped much, I am afraid.

Whoever did emulated storage for android was a sloppy guy. To get two emulated targets going required some code changes in mount service.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] verygreen:
Ok, third time is a charm.

sdcard-cwm-early7.1.img.gz - fixed title to say sdcard.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] leapinlar:
Flashed the CM zip and restored my Hybrid data only and working great.

Redownloaded the new early7 and came out the same. But I may have screwed up the download. Will retry later, have to go to picnic now.

So playing a bit more with my Sandusk U1 card, it seems it's still pretty crashy, sigh.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] leapinlar:
Yeah, I am running on a SanDisk class 4 and it just rebooted to stock.

Sent from my Nook HD+ running rooted stock
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] verygreen:
Hm, that's a worrying development. I have not tried class4 myself, but if this crashes on class4 too, I'm inclided to revert this change as I never had any io errors on my class4 cards.

On the other hand with this patch I am having much fewer io errors when doing big bulk writes on U1 card (think adb push of cm install file, or installing it, or formatting).

It's the small io (booting up, starting apps) that kills them.

I remember you said you had a newer unit that was hard to boot off sdcard, does this kernel make any difference there?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] leapinlar:
I had been using my old unit since it boots to SD reliably. But since you asked, I tried booting with my new device and it was still just as stubborn. Booted once and not booted several other times.

Sent from my Nook HD+ running rooted stock
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] verygreen:
Just to be completely sure, can you please get this kernel file and place it to your sdcard and try with it (will only work with cwm, won't really boot into cm I suspect - it's unmodified B&N source, I wonder if it fares any better).
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] leapinlar:
At first I thought you had hit on something. It booted in the new HD+ like 5 times in a row, even turning it completely off in between. Then all of a sudden it would not boot again.

Now, in my case with my new device, it acts differently than other people report. It does not just bypass the bootable SD in favor of internal, it will not even turn on (light the screen) most of the time with the card inserted. Even after I take the card out, it is hard to turn on. I have to fiddle with it by holding the power button for various seconds before it boots to internal again.

It reminds me of the Nook Color that has corrupted boot files on the internal boot partition. The way the NC acts is when you press the power button, it turns itself on without the screen on and looks for valid boot files first on the SD then on internal and if it finds none, it powers completely off without turning on the screen. The user thinks it has not even tried to power on. The only way you can tell it really tried to power on is by how Windows reacts when the USB is connected. When you try to power on, Windows reacts temporarily by trying to install the OMAP device, then it shows nothing further.

EDIT: Writing this has caused me to try some further testing. I plugged the USB cable into the new device and Windows with the bootable SD inserted and pressed the power button. The power light came on and the OMAP4470 install device popped up in Windows. The light stayed on but it did not boot. I could hold the power button until the light went out, then touch power again and it repeated itself. Then once in a while it would boot to SD. And this is without removing and replacing the SD. In other words it does not seem to be the contacts in the slot. All of this latest testing was with the full CM10.1 SD and kernel that came with the ROM.

I'm not sure what this is telling me, but I thought it was interesting. My old device acts the same way with the power light and OMAP4470 device install, but always continues on to boot to SD. Something in the new device is different. I have some new devices coming from that promotion going on now. It will be interesting to see how those devices act.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] fanoush:
I suspect this is timing issue in OMAP boot ROM vs card powerup. Maybe the card does not always power up quickly enough for the ROM to recognize it. This may be even hardware issue with voltage regulator for SD slot on different Nook boards, maybe on some boards the 3V SD/MMC voltage does not stabilize quickly enough so the card powers up a tiny bit later. So it may be combination of specific card + specific timing characteristics of SD/MMC voltage regulator + timeout in boot rom.

BTW, details of OMAP 4470 SD/MMC booting is described in 4470 TRM chapter 28.4.7.6 eMMC/eSD Embedded Memories and MMC/SD Cards
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] verygreen:
It really sounds like this device is broken all by itself, and you probably should try to replace it, esp. if you can demonstrate booting troubles off emmc.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] leapinlar:
Verygreen, just an update. I have had no other reboots to stock with this version. BTW, could you give this version a name so that we can know how to differentiate it from your first scheme? Like sdcard version 2, or New SD or something catchy like we did with hybrid.

Also I figured out how to have stock see your emulated sdcard so they can share files. So if you keep this setup I will make a zip for stock users.

I have not attempted to make a conversion of this for Hybrid. If this is successful, I will probably abandon Hybrid.

I also could send you the mod I made to uImage so it can easily boot to stock with an n key press on boot. If you want it, let me know. It is a simple mod.

[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] verygreen:
This is going to be the new sdcard version. Previously know sdcard version will become "legacy sdcard" version and will not see any further development.

I probably need to make another name for cwm image, though.

I just need to find some time and make menu in the bootloader actually work, I guess, there are some other bootloader changes I wanted done.

Hi All,

I have been a user of Android phones since the first Samsung Galaxy S phone was released. I loved that phone and still have it in prestine condition at home.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ej8989:
Your phone (nexus s) is i9023, not i9230 .

The only reason you shouldn't buy the i9250 is because it does not have a wolfson sound chip therefore not compatible with voodoo sound.

If you're not as audiophilic as i am, you should buy it.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hotmatua.parulian:
what this voodoo sound for?im curious..is it anything to do with multimedia player or maybe an enhancement of audio quality when we use the headset?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ej8989:
It's a app + kernel mod that brings the wolfson chip to its full potential. It's not a music player, but it works on any music player app.

You must be have a custom kernel that supports it. There's a BIG difference in sound quality.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hotmatua.parulian:
at the moment im using cm10.1 nightlies..can i get that kernel from this rom?are there any config i should set to max the sound chip?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ej8989:
CM10.1 stock kernel already has the voodoo sound mod.

All you gotta do now is download "voodoo sound" app from playstore. Configure to your own liking.

I purchased the white Bamboo Feel pen/stylus from Wacom and received it Friday, after using it over the weekend I can say that I like this pen much more than any of the others I have tried. It feels very balanced in the hand, and the tip/nib had a very nice feel to it much like writing on paper, even with a screen protector on my Note 10.1.

I have tried many others, the stylus that came with the Note, an old pen enabled stylus, the pen holder by Samsung and even though these stylus worked fine, this Bamboo Feel, came out the winner. It tracks perfectly, feels great in my hand, and most of all, feels most like using a regular fine quality pen on paper.

I like it so much that I am going to spend the extra money and order the more expensive carbon fiber one, just for the added weight as I like using a heavy pen when writing on paper. The weight on the white one is fine, it is heavier than any other stylus I have tried ( see above) but I think I will like the carbon fiber even more as it is twice as heavy according to the specs.

This stylus does not have the eraser on the end, if this is something you prefer.
