I would suggest reading reviews and getting hands on time if possible. Everyone's needs in a phone differ. Of the choices you have I'd probably go with the moto x if root and ROMs pick up. Personally, I'm going nexus from here on out.

IMO, HSPA is just fine. Where are you seeing the Nexus 4 for $199?

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] newskate9:
So I put Carbon on my wife's tablet after not touching it for over a year. Amazing that I can come here and get exactly what I need. What a great community!

I do have a question. I have a 16gb model and a 16gb card. I can see and use the card, no problem.

Using astro or other file manager, the directories seem weird. That's not a problem. The problem is, I can only use 1gb of internal storage - is there a way to get at the balance of that? Or is it lost forever?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digixmax:
Sounds like your NT has the BN's old 1GB allocation for the user-media partition instead of the new 8GB.

To get a 8GB allocation, you can restore the NT to stock ROM and take it to a B&N store to have the repartition done; or you can (Google) search for a repart.img SD-based tool which also does the repartition (and in the process restore the NT to stock ROM). Either way, you can use CWM recovery to back up your current Carbon ROM before the operation and then restore it afterward.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] newskate9:
Ah, I completely forgot about this little point. Thank you for the reminder and the options!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] bluesock:
One more question from me about this, does it make sense in CM to have two internal storages anyway? Couldn't I just reformat it to have only one partition?

I know how to use parted, so this isn't why I am asking. I just wanted to ask here about potential other side effects.

I already reformatted that my internal memory is about 4GB and my sdcard0 storage is 10GB, but now I installed a huge app in internal memory which can't be moved to SD for some reason, and I want to at least reformat it the other way around or the default 12GB sdcard0 + 1GB internal

All apps are installed in the first internal memory anyway I have figured, so I don't know why this first sdcard0 does make sense at all? I first thought that would be used for apps, but currently there are 10 unused Gigabytes....

I am using a real sdcard in the device ( which is per default mounted as sdcard1 ), maybe that is the reason nothing is put on the internal sdcard0 ??

Any comments on this?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] skelnik:
I'd also like to know if this can be done. I've read the posts that explain how to resize partition 10 (media) and 11 (user data), but I would like to know if it is possible to combine partition 10 and 11 into a single partition so that all available space that isn't used by the system can be used for apps and other data. Is this not possible because of different file systems or is there a way to do it?

I've also noticed that even though the Nook Tablet 16 GB physically has 1 GB RAM only 672 MB is recognized and the other 332 MB or so seems to be used as some type of virtual SD Card (this can be seen in Settings -> Apps -> On SD Card). Is there a way to make the entire 1 GB recognized and utilized? I have not been able to find any information on this anywhere.

I am running CM 10.1 on Nook Tablet 16 GB.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digixmax:
Combining the two partitions without tweaking the ROM will likely result in errors when the system at boot time attempts to mount the partition you eliminate, and when some apps reference the file-system that supposedly resides on that eliminated partition. To avoid these errors, the eliminated partition would have be removed from boot-time auto-mount list, and its file-system root would have to be mapped (e.g., symbolically linked) to the mount point of the remaining partition.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] asawi:
The 'missing' RAM is what the OS needs to keep the device going. 672 MB RAM free sounds very reasonable. What you see in the list as apps on sd card is the virtual sd card in storage, not RAM.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] sagirfahmid3:
The "missing" RAM is actually shared memory for the GPU (the SGX540). Video cards need RAM to load textures and whatnot.

You might have noticed that desktops without a dedicated GPU have much lower system RAM than advertised. Ex: my laptop with 3GB of system RAM actually shows something like 2970MB RAM (instead of 3096MB). The 100 odd MB of RAM is shared by the GPU (Intel GMA). If I had a dedicated GPU in my laptop, something like the GTX M GPUs with its own RAM, I would see and be able to use the full 3096MB of system RAM. It's the same thing with mobile devices, they share system RAM with the GPU.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] skelnik:
That makes sense about the shared resources for the system and graphics. Thank you for the explanation!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] bluesock:
Okay, if that is all, probably changing /system/etc/vold.fstab after repartitioning/removing the emmc-sdcard-partition and symlinking the other of the partitions should do it already? Or how does the storage settings things finds the storage memories? Or is there even something a bit more deeply buried, e.g. inside the kernels initrd or something like that? Does someone know those details?

[MENTION=5427019]skelnik[/MENTION] as written in the other thread something more here ...

It probably isn't completely beginner friendly to do all this just by this information here, but I might attempt to do this too, and then will share the information as step-wise as possible. But might take some weeks until I have a bit time left...

And be aware! There probably will be some downsides when not using a physical/external sdcard at all: You will not have the internal storage accessible as a usb storage device anymore (not sure about mtp or ptp mode, but these don't access everything anyway) - so if you screw up something it might become harder to recover. You should then probably have at least some 2gb sdcard you can use, just in case. But my opinion is that you should just pay those $5 for a physical sdcard (should even give you 4 or 8GB already...) and then there won't be these problems.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] skelnik:
Use Ineternal Storage as sdcard on Nook Tablet

Actually you will still have access from the PC (Windows OS at least) to this partition after using the internal storage as an sdcard. You need to go into the USB Connection Settings under Storage and change it to "USB Mass Storage" mode. Also USB Debugging needs to be unchecked in order for you to get prompted to enable USB Connection to PC. After that you will be able to transfer data to and from your PC to the internal partition being used like an sdcard on your Nook Tablet. That partition is set to 10GB for me so that is a huge benefit and allows me to swap out multiple external sdcards any time without disabling any apps.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] bluesock:
Are you sure you mean the same thing as me? I am talking about removing one of the partitions and just making one large partition where both /data and a link from /sdcard into that will be. As far as I understood, Android does not do a virtualization of a path but really makes one of it's partitions accessible as usb storage? Or can you also format in ext4 and still read it in Windows?

If that works I am probably not right, otherwise read on:

All your configuration data and everything is on /data and would be removed from being accessible by the system as long as it is connected as usb storage (also all installed apps, ...), and besides that you would need to use the FAT filesystem for Windows compatibility, which is also probably not the best idea, security-wise (any app being able to read sdcard would for example be able to read your wifi configuration, maybe google account login data, etc. etc.).

Is it possible to take a picture of an article from the newspaper and annotate it with ezPDF? I am not having very much luck, and perhaps its because it cant be done?

Don't know much about ROM modifications etc... I have done it before since I am good at directions...

Why are there a number of ROMs in the dev section... just for the people that were unable to unlock on day 1?

Mainly looking for maybe a ROM with stock android or tweaks or something. Would like to upgrade android when VZW basically drops OS support in 6mo..

Then you have done something wrong,

in the first place: "DO NOT" install bluetooth tools but just install tomtom 5

and go to prefferences- / gps settings/ then choose other bluetooth cable and set the com port to "5"

this works!

if it does not, you have bad software and i reccomend you to install a better rom before using tomtom

[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] coolriver:
The MotionEvent method getPressure() always return 1.0f on Galaxy S4. However, it can return a 0-1.0 value by getSize().

Should I modify the screentouch driver file to make getPressure() return a proper value? It seems S4 uses Synaptics touchscreen controller.

Any suggestions are appreciated. Thank you.
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] hubrix:

Sorry I don't quite understand what is "actually possible". I tested getPressure() on S4, Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 4, only S4 always return 1. I don't have a Note 2 to test :p
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] elesbb:
whats wrong with using getSize()? I never knew the new touch screens handled pressure. That was an older style touch screen that could do that. I would just use getSize()
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] coolriver:
Thank you for the reply.

In my understanding, getPressure resturns the approximate "pressure" (by software sensor) on the screen surface, while getSize returns some approximation of the "area" of the screen being pressed. I think pressure and area are correlated, but according to my experiment on Galaxy Nexus, the returned value of getPressure and getSize are not linearly dependent. So getSize can't replace getPressure, am I right?

BTW, I am doing a research on Android devices which requires to get the pressure value on the screen. Can someone tell me how the pressure value is caculated (maybe by other sensor value)? I searched but can't find conresponding documents.

Thanks again.
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] elesbb:
Last time i checked on how getPressure() was calculated was determined by how much of your finger was actually touching the screen. I know things like mousepads like on laptops, they have a totally different pressure plate in them, i think its derived off the same technology as an electronic balance. So maybe some devices like your Galaxy Nexus have this sensor in them, i don't have a nexus, but all my devices HTC HD2, Galaxy S2, S3, S4 all have the same value for getPressure().

If i were you, i would go into the source code and look at the method getPressure() and see how exactly it is being calculated.
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] coolriver:
So HD2, S2/3/4 all return a fixed value for getPressure()? That's interesting :)

Yes, maybe I should look into the source code. Thanks again.
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] elesbb:
yes they all did return a fixed value for pressure. And the source code can help A LOT :)
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] coolriver:
Thanks a lot.

Could you give me some suggestions about where I should start to find the related code with getPressure?

I am new to Android (kernel) source code. After I downloaded the kernel source code for S4, and checked the driver code (under "GT_I9505G_JB_Opensource_Update1/Kernel/drivers/input/touchscreen/synaptics", because it's said S4 uses Synaptics touch screen controller), I haven't found where the pressure is calculated. Maybe I checked in the wrong location? Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks again!

I just got my new Nexus 4 and it came with 4.2 in the box. I've researched a bit about 4.3 and the upgrades don't seem too major..I've heard a lot of problems with it, including worse battery(4.3 is supposed to improve battery life). I haven't had enough time with the phone to test the battery yet, but my question is, is it worth upgrading to 4.3?

Thanks for any input.

Personally, its all worth.

Firstly, its a Project Butter revisit.

The battery life is either same or better, I can easily get 7 hour SOT on both.

Conclusion for me, I'm never turning back to 4.2.2(unless there is a major test), because 4.3 is far far better.

You should do more reading on more benefits, its in the general thread.
