[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DYERMMAN:
Sorry if this is long but Ive spent the last two days reading posts trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong. Ive found similar problems but nothing right on. Ive tried installing CM10 on a Nook Color and everything has been a problem. It started when I tried putting the files on my SD card. I downloaded the 3 files (img,cm,jb) and followed the instructions to load them to my class 4 San disc 4Gb micro SD. I unzipped the image file and using Win32 placed them on the card.(using an new external card reader) This is where it started.

I didn't know if I was supposed to use Win32 to load the other 2 zipped files so I tried it. It said they loaded but it wouldn't boot in the nook. I tried it again and when ever I would try to see if the files where there I got a "disc is not formatted would you like to format" message. I used SDFormatter to format the disc and tried to just copy the remaining 2 files to the disc. Now I was getting a " cannot write disc is full" message. When I finally thought all 3 files were on the card I tried it in the Nook and this time it booted and seemed to go well but then it stopped. It was saying It couldn't locate an img file, and I should download it from a place I couldn't find. I reloaded the img file and placed it in the nook and it said something about not recognizing the card or something like that. Ive tried everything and nothing would work. I then found I couldn't even shut down the nook. It ended up running out of power, and that is where my second problem began. It now says "Battery to low to power on every time I try to power up. Ive tried the stock power cord and the one to my phone. Used strait power and USB. from my PC. It is charged, it just doesn't seem to know it. I'm frustrated and sick of the whole ordeal. Please tell me what I did wrong and if I can fix it.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
You only unzip the image zip and burn it to the card. The other two get copied without unzipping. And what version of the image zip are you using? It needs to be rev5 from my updated NC installation instructions linked in my signature. If the message said to go to an .ru site, it is an old version.

And you just use Windows Explorer to copy the other two files to the card.

If you use SDFormatter, be sure to do a full format, not just quick. And only do that before you burn the image and copy the files.

The battery must charge for a good 15 minutes with the stock cable and charging block before it can power up.

Still having problems with nook

Thanks for getting back to me so soon, I understand I need to be a little more specific.

I don't know if it matters but I'm using windows XP sp3.

Starting with the SD card, I did use the latest SDFormater to do a full erase and format each time.

I finally did use win32 for just the image file, But every time I would get a "not enough room on disk message" when copying the other 2 zipped files to the card. (using windows explorer) I tried it 3 or 4 times.

The Nook has been charging of and on for 2 days and I still get the message. As I said Ive tried using the charger that came with the nook and another one that fit. Ive plugged it into my wall socket and my USB ports.

I should also mention that I'm working with 2 Nook colors and have had the same result on both, except one of them is now working. I don't know what I did or why but it all of a sudden booted normally and I did an immediate reset.

I hope this helps you understand my confusion. I couldn't find any posts with the exact same problem.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
You still did not confirm you were using my rev5 image. Using an earlier version of the image would give those not enough room errors.

If you were having the same charging problem, how did you get one to work?

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DYERMMAN:
Sorry,

Good news, My other Nook has finally started up. I tried a travel charger I had bought and after 10 min it just started up.

As tp your question, I tried a couple of different img files while I was trying just to get all the files loaded on the SD, One was generic 1.3, and the other I believe was labeled ramdisc?

Please help me understand why I cant seem to load all 3 files to my SD card. That is where it all started and I haven't been able to figure out why. As i said I am using a 4 Gb micro SD card. It loads the img file but then I cant load the other 2 after. I get the not enough space on disc message.

Thank you

Got it. The problem was the way I was copying the zip files to the SD card.. Once I did the copy and paste it worked fine.

Hi,

So over the weekend, I dropped my One S and smashed the screen on it. Having repaired/replaced screen on phones previously I thought I would go ahead and do the same on the One S. I managed to get into the phone without too much difficulty, but being the idiot that I am, I broke the power connector off the PCB board when trying to remove the battery.

Now I am unable to power up the phone at all. Is there anyway I can retrieve my pictures/messages/data from the phone?? I'm pretty sure the rest of the PCB is in working order, is there anyway I can power it up to access the phone via my pc. Any help on this would be appreciated!

Thanks
[HTC One S] Tecardo:
you broke the connector or the cable?
[HTC One S] driftmetal:
If you can power-up, maybe use wireless adb or airdroid applicaion without cable need

Hi everyone I'm after some advice please

Heres the situation

installed SD_V_11. 1 Ultimate.zip Dragon Rom and correct Hboot for the rom. Factory reset and cache partition and dalvik,Rom installs ok when it reboots just goes right back to CWM! redownloaded the rom and checked the md5 is ok too.

Any advice on whats going on please ,much appreciated or a link to the appropriate page.

Have flashed the boot.img?
[HTC One X] AndroidHtc101:
Hi thanks for the reply. I have SD_V_11.1_boot ive not flashed that. Can i flash without renaming it? Would this stop the rom from booting then?

thanks for your reply man.
[HTC One X] AndroidHtc101:
Hi is the boot.img different to the Hboot?

cheers
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
First check of your hboot is high enough. Its stated in the bootloader. It must be higher or equal to 1.31 and check if the bootloader says ENDEAVORU !

Then you must flash the boot.img from the rom (its located inside the rom.zip) with fastboot commands, then perform a FULL wipe inside the recovery and install the rom.
[HTC One X] athulele:
Yes, boot.img is different than the hboot.

Boot.img contains the kernel.

Here are the steps to flash boot.img -

1. Extract the boot.img of the ROM to your fastboot folder.

2. Navigate to the folder. Hold Shift and right click. Click "Open command window here".

3. Connect your phone via USB

4. type in cmd - adb reboot-bootloader

5. After the phone is displaying Fastboot USB, type in cmd - fastboot flash boot boot.img
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
And don't forget

Fastboot erase cache

Otherwise the question will arise why he can't enter the recovery ;)
[HTC One X] AndroidHtc101:
hi cheers for the replys much apppriated

I have not flashed the boot.img is it possible to flash that from CWM? i expect thats why its going back to CWM. ive only used that way and not with commands before.
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Nope not possible ! You need to do it with fastboot commands, or with a toolkit
[HTC One X] AndroidHtc101:
hi Mr Hofs

Is there a link to the toolkit for the Dragon rom? . I have the zip file (SD_V_11.1_ULTIMATE) everything ready. Ive used a toolkit before, but not fastboot commands.

cheers for your help man
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Check for hassoons toolkit it can flash the boot.img for you ;)

I'm in a good mood today so here is the link

CASE CLOSED ! :D
[LG Optimus 4X HD] @non4:
This tutorial is for anyone who wanted this phone for gaming. You will get buttery smooth gaming performance compared to the latest jellybean. NO JOKE!

1. Download v10a.kdz

2. Flash it

3. (Optional but recommended)Get gamebooster 2 and put it on "Hard gaming" or "Ultra gaming" and the extra ram tweak

Please note that v10a has appalling battery life so only use if you're desperately wanting to play games. Battery life can be brought back to normal by restricting the cpu with lg gearbox

SO HOW DOES THIS WORK?

Basically v10a was like the one x first rom, not enough thermal control. Great for gaming, bad for battery and your thumbs comfort (BURN!). The control is there, but its so subtle you wouldn't notice. I'm surprised hardly anyone knew how well v10a performs. When I have time I will post the throttling values to see how they differ with more recent roms.

Update: There are no throttling values :D

Games tested:

GTA VC-Smooth as silk

Spiderman-1.1.7 playable, 1.1.4 is smooth

Need for speed MW- As always this game is badly optimized but its a lot less noticeable, just slight slow motion at the road blocks

Dead trigger- Minor hickup at game start but overall higher frameratr

Contract Killer 2- No more stutters when shooting

Gangstar rio: Exactly the same, just a glitchy update

Block story: smooth unless draw distance is increased

[LG Optimus 4X HD] Winudert:
I can play Real Racing 3 (Medium Settings) and Vice City with V20A, not so smooth, but you can play. I think everything will be fixed with other updates or XDA developers will do that, if you can play without problems with V10A.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] @non4:
There are no throttle tables in v10a, so even though theres a throttle value in tegra_thermal I don't think its doing anything.

The thing is - the apps are not optimized for quad-cores.

Using LG Gearbox and limiting to one core will do the trick for most games, but Gearbox won't work for JB 4.1.2.

I recently bought an tablet in China for only 70 euros, its so smooth and battery is great (RockChip 3066, dual core @1.6ghz and quad core Mali-400 GPU) and it runs games better then my phone.. that sucks, my phone also needs to be factory reset and reinstall the backup when i charge it from 0 to 100% in off-mode (WTF!?) I kinda want an other phone, but i guess im still stuck to it for 1.5 more years..

I'm playing just two games. Real Racing 3 have an app in Play Store to change graphics settings without root very easy (Low, Medium, High, Ultra), so you don't need LG Gearbox to run game at Medium, and Vice City have Visual Effects settings (Low, Medium, High, Max). Bottom line? I don't need Gearbox for now to trick games I have just one core.

(

90% of the time the main cause of Android device lag is slow internal Flash memory!

)

Lately, my Note had gotten laggy- apps were taking forever to open, Chrome was slow opening pages and things were just slow overall. Was it one of my kernel mods? Was it the DeOdexed ROM? I'd gone back to a stock kernel and switched back to a stock ROM, but it was still laggy. I'd turned on "Show CPU Usage" and sure enough, my Note was spending a LOT of time in "IOWait" (the blue bar) and the system was spending a lot of time running the process "mmcqd/0" (the kernel thread that runs the Flash memory). None of my troubleshooing worked and I couldn't figure it out 'till I did a "df" and discovered I'd made a newbie mistake- I'd had only 750MB remaining on /data (which also includes where the internal sdcard is located). Bingo!

For those who don't know, I'll give you the "TL;DR" lesson on Flash memories- the fuller they get, the slower they get.

A more-detailed explanation: the controller on a Flash device takes longer to find free space to write file data on as it gets fuller- the "erase size" is usually far bigger than the average size of a kernel write, so the Flash device's internal controller can't find enough empty flash blocks it has to do some time-consuming "Read-Erase-Write" operations, and when that happens (which can take many milliseconds and adds up quickly) no other I/O can happen on the flash device, so your Android device lags as your CPU helplessly sits there waiting for all the I/O to complete. Although we're using the "discard" option on our /data partition (which lets the Flash-memory controller know when Linux has removed a file, helping it keep more available empty blocks for later write operations), there's only so much that can be done when the percentage of free space falls below a certain point.

(OK, the following steps aren't for absolute newbies, and you have to be rooted- so the Standard XDA Disclaimer of "If you fsck this up, don't blame me!" applies here!)

So, I'd first determined where all the space was going (I used "cd /data ; du -kx | sort -rn | head"). In my case, it was a couple of cached Vudu movies, YouTube caching of my "Watch Later", a couple of movies that I hadn't moved to the SD-Card and the Samsung "Note Screensaver" and "Note Manual" apps. I also used TiBu to Integrate updates of my apps back to the ROM. All told, I'd freed up about 4GB.

Next, I ran "fstrim -v /data" to help the Flash memory controller reclaim the space internally. After a reboot (only necessary 'cause of the TiBu "Integrate to ROM"), Voila! Back to speed!

I've attached a zipped-up copy of my "fstrim" binary, and for those using my kernels (which I'll be updating soon as I've got some other goodies too) they'll now have automatic "fstrim" on bootup (BTW, the free version (at least) of "LagFree" app doesn't work on our Notes for some reason).

(TL;DR: keep your internal storage as free as possible, else everything slows down.)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Temetka:
Do I need root to do this?

I spent some time doing some file shuffling between my internal and external memory cards and freed about 3gb of stuff from the internal sd. Tablet is more responsive but I'd still like to be able to clear my cacbes.

This very reason is why i bought the 32 gb version.. Some with my nexus 7 and my phone 16 gb .... Its well worth the little bit of extra money .. But its awesome to have people here willing to help. I know on the nexus if you get it half full you will have very bad slow down and issues. This has been discussed over and over in the GOOGLE TECH FORUMS and some here on the xda nexus forum..

I think like with a windows pc . if you move around install and uninstall alot of software applications . You should once in a while wipe and re install the os .So for android devices Cloud storage is awesome.I use a ftp app that will sync to my ftp site once a week of the night time..

I can wipe my device restore from the ftp quick easy and no loss of data...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] kcrudup:
Yeah, I looked everywhere for a GT-N8000 with 32GB, and apparently they don't make one.

Well, that's really apples-and-oranges here, though. All that matters to US is relative storage availability (and the "discard" mount flag to give the Flash device hints, which is turned on even in Stock kernels) so there's room for the device to re-arrange things. Based on the design of Android, wipes are really only necessary when an app (or an owner ...) misbehaves.

Remember, too, that most of our devices' OS is in read-only-memory and never changes, also invalidating the need to install.

Windows, on the other hand, is just a mess :)

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] kcrudup:
Actually, that particular difference is only due to difference in the definition of sizes; computer people like to think in terms of powers of 2, so a "Terabyte" to computer people is 2^30, or 1073741824 bytes. However, disk-drive manufacturers started using powers-of-10 "Terabytes" (1000000000) so they could legally claim a "Terabyte" (or "Megabyte", as the case may be) but short-change us by not meeting the computer-referenced version of same, so that same "1TiB" drive is really only 954 of the Megabytes that really count.

In the case of our Flash drives, the reason it's smaller than the 16GB (and it's a real "computer 16GB", 16777216 bytes) is because of what I'd stated above, partitioning of the drive into partitions we can't consider available for data storage.
