[Nook HD, HD+ General] junglizste:
You got yours already?

Mine hasn't even shipped.

I did snag a groovy case for it on ebay for $18
[Nook HD, HD+ General] Free4ever2:
The Nook HD+ is a bargain. I've owned the HP Touchpad and now after upgrading to the Nook HD+, I couldn't be happier.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] Bossk128:
Here in the UK it's dropped to 200usd and I think it's a bargain.

Ordered.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] GenghisKhan67:
Got a Nook HD+ brand new in a sealed box on eBay for $150 CAN shipped. A bargain for sure, and it works great with CM10.1 installed. I mainly used it for reading and web browsing, the high screen resolution is perfect for these tasks.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] vuo:
I have to agree that the nook hd+ is a bargain. The thing that swung it for me was the high resolution screen. Having got used to borrowing my brothers iPad for browsing the internet, most android tablets had noticeably crappy screen resolutions in comparison - everything looked pixelated. The nooks screen is amazing. I got this in a sale a month ago and haven't once regretted it. The work by verygreen and others has made this an absolute pleasure to use.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] kuhla:
I'm going to try to hijack this thread a bit to avoid making a new one because you folks are already talking about some of the stuff I want to know about:

New 3D games are probably a bit much (I don't currently play any) but what about 2D games (such as an emulator)? Run smooth? Similarly does the UI struggle?

I saw one guy talking about it but can most people play 1080p content without a hitch?

How is battery life on this compared to devices of similar screen size and resolution?

Are the custom roms currently available pretty stable and full featured?

How is the HDMI output? Decent?

Based almost entirely on price alone I'm very seriously considering one.

My planned usages: basic web surfing, PDF viewing, some very simple document creation with a bt keyboard, occasional 2D gaming, 1080p media viewing both on the device and hopefully by connecting it via hdmi to a tv occasionally.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] Tschumi:
1.2d games paly great. The UI is very smooth with only the occasional lag (using nova launcher)

2. Yes, 1080p plays great (mx player with hardware acceleration)

3. I don't have a device with similar specs but a single full charge can last me 2-3 days,using it as a reader for epubs and pdfs, some netflix and a lot of games and music.)

4. I 'm running the latest cm10.2 nightly. Very stable, no reboots, lag-free, fully featured.

5. I Don't have the adapter so I wouldn't know.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] dsore1218:
2D gaming is smooth.

1080p content is very smooth

Battery has been better than expected. Even better than wife's iPad 3 somehow.

CM 10.2 has been very stable. Just check the posts before updating nightlies, there has been one update so far that needed to be avoided.

HDMI has been surprisingly good.

Worth the $ and best tablet in that $/Value category. Can compete with tablets that cost more but don't expect $300+ tablet performance in every category.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] stormannorman:
nook hd+

This is absolutely a good buy at $149. My wife does all the things you mentioned. We installed nova launcher and it works great!
[Nook HD, HD+ General] snoozer854:
Is HDMI working for you with CM10.2?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] digh:
Got one from 1SaleaDay for $110.00. No tax. No shipping. Said it was pre-owned. Whoever owned it never took it out of the box. It was brand new. Took 4 weeks to get it, But that's normal for 1day. They had them again last week for the same price listed as Refurb.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] mastmaker:
Still Worth Buying?

Sorry if this reply comes too late, but just happened upon this thread.

It is absolutely worth it. I use it exactly for these uses: reading books, magazines (PDFs), Netflix, Huluplus & ESPN (especially on Treadmill) and oocasional browsing. Worth every penny and some more.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] Forsquall:
Web browsing, PDF and eBook reading, video streaming, music, etc. all perfect on the HD+ under CM 10.1. Highly recommended, especially for the price. The screen is beautiful. Battery life is great.

3D framerates may not be the best for complex scenes due to the high resolution. A HD+ probably isn't the best choice for serious gaming.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] rushless:
The only thing the HD+ struggles with is 3D games that do not down scale and try to push data to all the pixels. Most games are not high res and should be downscaled to native res of the game. The funny thing is the 4470 is much better than the more common Tegra 3 for 2D, but weaker for 3D. 2D games that can be herky jerky on my Excite 7.7 and TF300 are smooth on the HD+. As already noted, game emulators are also smoother on the HD+, due to the better CPU design.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] keredini:
Just to let everyone know, you can currently get the Nook HD+ for $120 through ebay ... this is brand new, not a refurb. The deal popped up in my Lifehacker feed, i just snagged one. also has an option for 2 year geek squad warranty for $13

[Nook HD, HD+ General] extrem0:

Well the item title says 'NEW' and if you follow the link to the store page (BestStopDeals) it says 'This item is 100% brand new."

[General Topics] decoy7:
could i ask what other features do you get from using Checkpoint software over just using the features in TomTom to warn for speed cameras etc?
[General Topics] M4io:
functionality of checkpoint is not more than what TT offers

* Warnings based on Estimated Time instead of Distance. (speed related)

* adding, erasing poi's

EXCEPT :

you can easily sync with the server, uploading your modifs and downloading other users modifs.

CheckPOInt is more about a community effort to keep the POI database up to date.

and it's freeware
[General Topics] Gruffydd:
I used Checkpoint with TT3 and prefered it to the TT5 offering. I like the double warnings you can set and time warning instead of distance.

Hello, my name is Luca from Itali.

After 3 year I returned to develop on Android and now I have to decide which environment to use.

I'm excited to use Android Studio, but the problem is that I learn on the Commonsware book, where all examples are implemented with Eclipse.

Someone is working on Android Studio?

Do you know if is possible too run Eclipse and Android Studio at the same time (problem with abd, etc?)

Thanks, luca!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dheerajthe1:
You can totally run eclipse and Android Studio together. I do.

BTW it's ADB (not abd), and that has no issues with either eclipse or Android Studio.

Hi,

I have Samsung galaxy note II (GT-N7100), android version 4.1.2 and ROM SCAMUS Note II V5 DMC1.

Off late i am getting this problem whenever i try to download any app or update any app from google play store....sometimes it is error 491 and sometimes it says insufficient storage space ( though i have 5 GB internal memory available and 29 GB in memory card).

Can anyone help in resolving this issue??

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evaworld:
ok if you have more than 500 mb of free memory in internal storage, so may be you are using lucky patcher, if so open it and go to

menu->troubleshot->clear fixes (something like that) then reboot your phone, it will be ok
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emgluon:
I suggest it may be that your /system partition is near full. I think each app you install adds a entry in /system. It only have 1.32gb and it is not part of you 5gb internal space.

Maybe you have too many, I think over 200?

[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greatnesstx:
Unfortunately we just have to be patient, there is no ETA on root or unlocked bootloader. But from what I read Motorolla is making very hard to unlock there phones. Unless its a dev phone, but I would just be happy with root.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] synplex:

Also beware of the update that wants to install, i would hold off on installing that in case they patch up a exploit.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KWKSLVR:
Root is definitely a necessity. Realistically, I don't see the point of a custom ROM since, IMO, the whole point of buying one of these things is for all of the out of the box customizations. It would suck to lose them for some subpar custom ROM experience.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimmydafish:
AFAIK, if you bought this phone and hoped for root. You have been sadly mistaken. I don't forsee root in your immediate future. If you can't stand the thought of not having root then you should return the device.

[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Redwolf379:
Honestly I think this thing is flawless. The only reason I would look to root it is to remove the bloatware and free up more of my storage. First time Ive ever said this, but the they got stock right this time.

[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] larrykl:
Purchase from Motorola

If I purchase the Droid Maxx full retail, off contract from Motorola, is the phone unlocked, i.e. can be rooted and/or unlocked boot loader?
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigv5150:
No unless a root exploit or unlock boot loader exploit comes out.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doogald:
One other possibility is a development edition. As far as I know, they haven't been announced, but the possibility exists in the future.

[Windows RT Development and Hacking] bfosterjr:
I know this is a potentially dangerous post, but I'm looking for suggestions for things to port. I make no promises that I'll be willing/able to port any suggested software.

Some ground rules before you hit 'reply'

1) Don't ask for Chrome. I won't port it. Period.

2) The source code must be available and not have any _obvious_ specific ties to non-open source code. Eg: some proprietary or closed source library which it depends on.

3) Code must be in C or C++ (I can deal with porting some assembly if needed)

4) Project must be of a _reasonable_ size for 1 person. Honestly, I do this on my own and in my spare time. Some apps can be just massively overwhelming to port. That being sad, sometimes the big ones are also easy.... so use your own judgement here.

5) Tell me why you want it ported. Whats your "use case".

6) Drivers aren't out of the question, but they generally take significantly more work.

Feel free to +1 others suggestions.

Ok.. <puts on protective gear>.. fire away!

Cheers!
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] jtg007:
Thanks for all your awesome work.

While this isn't an app, I think that the kexec kernel-mode driver idea that was tossed around earlier would be waay more useful than an individual app. Every time it was brought up somebody said "Oh, that won't be much work." And then nobody did anything :-/

So, I'm hugely grateful for the time you put in here, but I think I'd be even huger-ly grateful-er if you opened the door to other OSs.

[Windows RT Development and Hacking] SixSixSevenSeven:
I would say to take a look at monogame. It can actually build microsoft store apps including ARM support, so coercing it into functioning on the windows desktop may be possible. Otherwise it might end up being a rule 4 :/

There are hacks out there to run terraria on MonoGame instead of XNA, most of them pretty complete but sometimes have the odd graphical glitch. A full source port to MonoGame would be far more reliable, and actually very simple, but sadly its closed source (although not obfuscated).

One of the supposedly more reliable ones: http://www.terrariaonline.com/threads/wip-monogame-terraria-terraria-for-linux.72997/

Isn't rule one covered by rule four?

I think the problem with the current torrent apps are you either have to pay to get the ability to download files in the background, or the app doesn't support it. I'd like to see a free torrent client that allows background downloading, even if it means speed has to be throttled a bit.

To the OP what is your favorite browser? If it is not Chrome(or Chromium), do you think it is possible to port that browser? At this point I'll even take Safari as I am starting to hate all the crashes that occur for me in IE.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] SixSixSevenSeven:
Safari is not open source so cannot be ported.

Chrome is a rule 4 - or in other words is too much effort for 1 man to do in a reasonable time frame.

Firefox is also a rule 4, plus its a ***** to get it to compile properly under microsoft tools apparently, plus its javascript engine is raw ARMv7 JIT whereas windows RT bugs with that and would require a THUMB2 JIT. Chrome also would have javascript issues, although in chrome you can have an interpreted javascript engine I think which would just be hideously slow in comparison.

Opera - Closed source.

The list goes on unfortunately. Browsers are complex creatures. Most will come under rule 4 though.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] cx1:
What the hell are you doing to get all these crashes? I have yet to have IE crash on 8 or 8.1 on RT in desktop or metro.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] domboy:
My only suggestion would be a gui SFTP client. This is probably the one utility I am currently missing on my Surface RT (I use ssh to remote into Linux systems both for work and personal use, point #5). To clarify, I do use the psftp client in the putty suit, and that works well enough, just takes a bit more time and effort than something like winscp. I can continue to use this if an gui alternative is not feasible.

I recall someone requesting winscp at some point in the past, so I searched around this forum and I did find a couple of people that took a stab at it, but with no results, and I haven't found a clear explanation on what the hang up was. Looking at the readme winscp appears to be written in c++ at least (point #3):

I am unsure if the aforementioned Windows Platform SDK is available for Windows RT, or if it is even needed since Windows RT is not 64-bit.

Is nasm the problem? It looks to be an x86/x64 assembler... which of course wouldn't work on ARM... unless I just don't get what an assembler is...

Not being much of a coder I also don't know if one can import a Borland C++ project into Visual Studio, so maybe that is also a problem too.

So I guess I'm not sure on a lot of the points on the ground rules list...
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] SixSixSevenSeven:
Borland C++ is an alternative set of 3rd part C++ tools. Would take a bit of work to get a borland project to compile it under microsoft tools.

Nasm is an x86/x64 assembler yes. Assembly language is pretty much the lowest level of programming possible before writing in raw hex or binary. It is *HIGHLY* CPU dependent. Specifically the set of commands available in assembly is the plain text form of the exact instruction set the CPU has available which for x86 is different from ARM. The fact that nasm is required means that the project will have assembly in it, therefore an RT port will not be undertaken (one of the rules in the OP).

Sorry man, its proprietary tools and parts of it are unportable anyway. Doesnt mean another SFTP client can't be ported, just this one.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] netham45:
Here's my wishlist. I've poked at some of them, but I don't really have time to finish any of them.

WinPCap - Iirc, the biggest issue was that it was written targeting an older version of NDIS. The usecase would be to provide network support for BOCHS.

QEmu - There's a build of QEmu that builds on MSVC called WinQEmu, but it's dynarec recompiles to x86 only. I believe the official QEmu repo doesn't support MSVC, and I don't know if it can recompile to THUMB-2.

A good IRC client - X-Chat and mIRC run poorly under the emulator, and the few .net clients I've tried are meh. X-Chat has too many GCC-specific requirements, and mIRC isn't open source, I just want a good IRC client.

An X Server - I've been unable to find an X server that builds with MSVC, or anything short of Cygwin for that matter, but I'd love to have one.
