[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] portausb:
need to set partition active every time!!

Hi all

After installing the dual boot I hit a rather weird problem

I can boot into CM 10 without any problems, but if I reboot into BN stock, that is it !!, it will not come up with the boot-loader and I cannot boot into CW again except when I take the SD card out and set the boot partition into inactive then active again !!

What does the stock nook 2.1.1 do to the boot partition, which although the Partition wizard (mini tool) shows it as active, as I said above I have to turn it to inactive first then active again so it can work !!

Any idea how can I block whatever BN stock does?

Edit

OK folks this may help someone to keep his sanity

I discovered what I was doing

if you hold the tablet in one hand while pressing the power button to either power off or go to boot loader, and your thumb inadvertently presses the volume button ( I don't know whether it is up or down) while holding down the power button, this is when you will reset the tablet to boot only in stock !!!

The answer if this happens is to take the SD out and set the boot partition to inactive first >>> then to Active again as above , the all will return to normal

Hi there This looks like great I may even want to keep this nook. A couple of questions is Which one should I use of these two

uImage.20130613.hybrid.hd.zip and

update.20130613.ramdisk.hybrid.hd.zip

or do I use them both.

Also when I go to the download link I cant get the files to download. I do this quite with my Acer tablets so I'm not a totally in the dark but I'm missing something on the page for the linked page .If I click download button I get nothing.

Thank for the great work and the help...
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] memnochlv:
So my problem is, none of the updates on that page work anymore. They are either files not found or they link to other stuff (music files, etc...) any chance of getting those reposted?

Thanks!

You realize this is an old thread don't you? It was last updated 6/13/13. There are newer threads that do the same thing.

Thanks Donniezazen, I found that the Webupd8 method didn't work just right for me so I made some modifications some others finding this thread may find helpful.

First I did as Webupd8 said but when it came to using the Unity script I could not find it. So I created 2 scripts (in my user directory with permissions for my user) called

mountnexus4.sh

and

unmountnexus4.sh

made them both executable and then dragged them to my toolbar creating a widget. Then created an image of a Nexus 4 and an image of a nexus 4 with a red not symbol on it. Changed the widgets icons and locked the toolbar. Result is when I click on one it mounts my Nexus 4 and the other un-mounts my Nexus 4. Works for me.

Hi all, is anyone experiencing this issue with your 920?

To reproduce:

- Power off

- Press power button and immediately swipe up to unlock

Will it unlock after the immediate initial swipe?

Which ROM/Carrier/Country model you have?

Thanks

UPDATE

After personally testing on several phones/brands, can confirm this is not a Nokia specific issue, it's a general issue with Windows Phone 8 (or at least most ROMs).

Phones tested and having this issue:

- Nokia Lumia 920

- Nokia Lumia 820

- Samsung Ativ

- HTC 8x

(all of them have Windows Phone 8)

Phones tested and not having the issue:

- Nokia Lumia 800

- Nokia Lumia 710

- Nokia Lumia 505

- Samsung Focus S

(all of them have Windows Phone 7.5)

This might not be relevant, but also tested on a Galaxy S3 (has the issue) and iPhone 5 (does not have the issue).

So since this is Windows Phone 8 related, I have created a Uservoice topic, please contribute voting so MS can resolve this soon:

[Nokia Lumia 920] FanGLeWoW:
Stop focusing on the details of life

bro... I tried it on my 920 too, it has the same problem. The problem is that the lockscreen doesn't appear right away after u press the button. If u wait for it to appear and then swipe, then u wont have a problem. I don't think it'll ever get fixed, prob has sth to do with the WP8 architecture itself. Don't focus on those problems, makes u paranoid. when I first got my 920, I always focus on the little things like how the top is not tight so u could press it down, and how the dust gets into the FFC. after a while I came up with the epiphany that no phone is perfect, u just gotta enjoy it and ignore the minor details. I can c that ur a huge wp fan cuz u got the 800. 920 is a big leap from 800, so y not enjoy ur time using it?

hope this helps u
[Nokia Lumia 920] pckshd:
True no phone is perfect but I was kind of used to the 800 responsiveness (and other WPs, different brands), now every time I grab the 920 I feel I have a heavy and laggard thing in my hand, its kind of not letting me be fast and agile with it... :(

Of course its a powerful beast, just would love to have that thing resolved.

I am currently running the "lite" version of cm10 that was released by o.a.t. a while back and am having a problem that I am always at 100% awake time. Granted I'm never too far from a charger but it will drain from full to 10% (which is where I have automateit set to power down) in around 8 hours with absolutely no use( 0 screen on). Just looking for any suggestions anyone may have. I thought mediaservice may have been the culprit but that is not the case. Any help appreciated.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chicle_11:
I very recently changed to cm10 (jcsullins' 12/16 version) from the official CM9 nightlies. I do have a backup of my CM9 setup, just in case.

My experience with deep sleep have been great. At 10:00 pm, I press the power button, to make it go to deep sleep. At 7:30 am the following morning, I find that it has gone from 100% to 96%. This is the best battery life I have experienced using Android. Of course, the battery life is much better in webos.

Try removing android using acmeuninstaller. If you have preware installed in webos, download 'remove android' (or something like that), and run it. Then install android again, using acmeinstaller3. Try the jcsullins version of Cm10. Install the 10/11/12 version of gapps. Hopefully, you will now be good to go.

Make a backup, just in case.

Hope this helps. Good luck.

So today I saw my brothers cellphone laying around the house and started to play with it (It's a ****ty old Samsung). Then the battery in MY cellphone died and I wanted to change the music using the Sonos app.

So I thought 'Hey, this is a Samsung as well, maybe I can use his battery?'.

I tried it and it worked (even though his battery is a lot smaller and only has 800 mAh).

I was able to change the music so I was a happy man!

Now, this may not be particularly useful or worldshocking but I though it was kinda cool and it could come in handy, as was the case with me!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wowandroid:
hi guys,

i have a samsung galaxy s2 (GT-i9100 - NFC), which i got from orange end of 2011. I the in jan 2012 got help from this forum to root my phone and change the rom from the original to:-

Rom & Build No: VillianROM 3.0

And' ver: 2.3.5

Baseband: i9100XXki1

Kernel: 2.6.35.11-ninphetamine-2.0.5+ninpo @ titan #20

Although the phone works okay, i'm beginning to notice a lot of slowdowns and regular reboots, so i want to go back to whatever latest google android OS the S2 can handle (rooted). I've forgotten what to do and would be most grateful if someone could please help me with the following:-

1. Whats the best software/method to backup everything?

2. What is the latest rom (original, but should not have a provider's bloatware) i can use on the S2?

3. Once backed up, how do i change from VillianRom to the latest/best OS currently available?

4. How can i root the original rom?

Thanks once again

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oxidil:
For official stock rom, check

And search latest stock rom for your region.

If you like custom rom, then there are so many roms on xda. I like omega and alliance roms. Choice varies from person to person
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheATHEiST:
1. Depends. You can do a backup in CWM to image your device or you can use Titanium Backup Pro to just backup your apps/appdata and restore to new rom.

2. http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/ < Check your device/model here.

3. Well just so you're clear, There is no "best" its subjective. Also "latest" depends on what type of rom you want to flash like Sammy/AOSP/AOKP/CM/MIUI etc. To flash latest samsung do it via ODIN, to flash any other do it via CWM. All info you need is already on forum.

4. By flashing custom kernel via ODIN.

All your questions have already been answered countless times.

Are you sure you are flashing the right ROM right? Check under the battery to see the Device Model.

If it's i9100, then make sure you are downloading a i9100 ROM.

Gastonw mate, i have been playing with the rom you posted a link to. Don't get me wrong, it's great and very fast, but the downside is that it doesn't have a huge number of options to tweak etc. Now someone mentioned a rom called Neatrom, but i'm wondering what you can recommend? I don't want a bloated rom...i want a fast rom, but with some options to allow me more greater control over the phone.

Also, i know this is a bit off-topic, but can you recommend me a widget app, where i can quickly dial phone numbers i.e. by touching a person's photo?

[HTC Pico (Explorer)] @rcane:
After flashing kernel 3.0.x stable release over CM10 beta 3, as sakindia said 10 mb ram will be reduce so total RAM was 408mb. But afterwards when i flash stock rom i still have only 408mb of ram rather than getting 418mb of ram. I have done clean installation of stock ROM. So my question is is it possible to get my orignal rom back?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Neel.Aryan:
by "original rom", you mean the stock rom with stock kernel ?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] @rcane:
Yes. I have flashed stock rom with stock kernel.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Neel.Aryan:
Most probably because kernel 3 configured only 408mb ram & stock kernel can't override it, because api level of kernel 3 is higher than stock kernel. Hence, maybe the higher precedence is the reason.

If this is actually the case, then you will need to format your ram disk then flash stock kernel to get 418mb ram.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] @rcane:
Ok.. thanx buddy.. could u help me with that ramdisk stuff. How to restore it it original. And also i hv one problem that i had install stock rom from our pico devlopment site and getting restart often. And afterwards stuck at HTC logo. So is it possible it is caused by this kernel problem or internal stock rom problem?

FYI i hv installed asian stock rom from our stock rom thread.

Again thank you.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Neel.Aryan:
You need to unpack & repack (modify, if you want) the ramdisk.img from the kernel source. You can find tutorials via Google or in xda-forums. That's how you can format ramdisk.

If you don't want to get into all this trouble, then simply wipe data / factory reset, wipe cache & wipe dalvik-cache. Then flash kernel & rom again.

This process may also solve your abnormal rebooting issue, also.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] @rcane:
Solved..!!

Thanks buddy for your help. I always do clean installation of rom using TWR but i guess i had some problem with it. Installed clockworkmod recovery and flash ROM and get back the 418mb of RAM and also random reboot also solved.

Keep doing your work. Thanx again.
