[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HiddenG:
Hello,

You could keep your device rooted. Just install this app on the Play Store, dubbed Hide my Root. It's a little bit of hassle, but every time you want to use Sky Go, within the app select "Hide su binary" then click on "Uninstall super user".

Once you're done watching Sky Go, and want your root privileges back, just restore SU Binary, and reinstall super user.

All the best. :)
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grimem:
Thanks for your reply, much appreciated.

Unfortunately this does not work - SkyGo still sees my HD+ as being rooted.

So Hide My Root doesn't work, could it potentially be due to Cyanoboot? Does anyone know how to create a "stock" root zip with build props spoofed to Nexus 7?

Thanks!

Has anybody had any luck getting SkyGo to work on a Nook HD+?
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sayid_Jarah:
It could infact be due to you have a custom recovery and YES of course you can have root and have stock recovery, just install stock nexus 7 rom and root through ODIN and choose not to install cwm/phils/ect also please uninstall busybox sky go also looks for this.

Another note is apps like hidemyroot dont work on android roms nwer than 4.2 for example if you have a 4.3 rom youre screwed

Sky Go now on Nook HD+

Hi all

Anyone with an unrooted stock HD+ able to confirm whether SkyGo is now working since they released the Tablet version with wider compatability yesterday? Now shows as available to download on Nook HD+ but I'm running a custom ROM at the moment so unable to test out as it won't work on rooted devices . . . . .
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jazzy2fives:
I reverted to stock to get it working - works really well! - occasional minor glitches starting a stream but from there in it's good - the quality especially on the on demand stuff is really good compared to bbc player, itv player etc...

edit:

fwiw I'm running at the moment with unknown sources enabled (ITV Player claims to be incompatible with my device running stock - so I side loaded it, works fine) and cwm installed on the recovery - it works fine with those. I expect you could root stock and use a root hiding app and it would still work based on peoples results with the mobile version.

now it's just a matter of getting stock into a usable state - I think CM was a tiny bit zippier, but most of my issues with the stock UI have been resolved by installing apex launcher. Just need to figure out a way to change the lock screen, and maybe remove the status bar and I'll be sorted :D
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grimem:
Great, thanks for your feedback. Good news!

I'll probably look to have stock on sd boot card for the occasions I want to use skygo then

Hi, can you tell me how you activated unknown sources on your unrooted stock nook, thanks in advance :o
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
If you go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and make a bootable CWM SD per item 1a, you can use that to flash my Enable Unknown Sources zip without being rooted.

How do you mount nexus 5 in your car. Post!

I'm using this: a 2 in one mount.It's an aged mount for my old s3, but it also fits new nexus 5 perfectly.

I have used this a number of times now. It holds the phone very solid.

I don't have my Nexus 5 yet (arriving tomorrow), but my wife and I both have Tetrax FIX's in each of our cars, as well as the attachments on our two current phones (HTC Evo 4G LTE & Samsung Galaxy S3). I'm assuming the Nexus 5 will still work with the Tetrax, as it is designed to be minimal and universal.

I have been using Tetrax for years on my iphone and my s4. I use an x-way version so i can landscape the phone easier. main issue issue get getting the dam metal dots to stick to the cases It generally boils down to a good chunk of crazy glue. Main issue is i plan to use wireless charging with it and i don't think having a steel disk glues to back of phone/case most likely will impair that. I was looking at buying an I-bolt.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Lucke:
proclip for sure. that's the only mount that will ever go in my car

*EDIT*

turns out it fits in my Nexus 4 proclip mount... but Google/LG decided to flip the micro USB port so i can't use the same hardwired charging cable (it's a right angle plug) without cutting it open, which i'd rather not do... but it fits, just no charging :-/
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Watcher07:
Just an fyi, according to the proclip facebook page, a person asked if they would get one for the N5 and they said they had picked up two devices and should have a mount ready in 4-6 weeks. They said updates on the nexus 5 proclip would be available via the facebook page.

I've just received one of these:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B007Y94CPO/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The quality is great, and because it's universal i won't need to buy a new mount for every new phone in future! The arms are spring loaded and released by a button on the back. Put the phone in, squeeze the arms together and it holds the phone perfectly. There's also a really nice rubber padding on every part that's in contact with the phone.

Most of the Amazon reviews are really positive too. I can't see there being any issues with it even after years of use. It really is a solid product! :good:

I believe the most convenient solution would be to use a Qi car dock: no connection needed and accommodate most cases. I looked around a little but but haven't found many options that look like they wont break down in a year :p

[Nexus 5 Accessories] jbdan:
I bought this a while back for my GS4.

Works really well even with my ringke slim on the GS4.

To my surprise, it works with the N5 and without adding the thin metal plate as the N5 has the steel discs already built into it. It's not super strong like using the thin metal plate, but it holds fine.

The material on the mount (on top of the magnets) is also like that of the back of the N5 so it does rotate fairly easily once mounted so maybe in a landscape view, if not centered, it would move some on a bumpy road.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dispatch:
FYI the N5 is polarized differently than the N4. I realized this today driving to work in the SNOW. :( I can't see the screen at all when the phone is in landscape mode and I'm wearing polarized sunglassses. I don't particularly like portrait in the car, but my tasker/rotate workaround which isn't perfect (for google's RIDICULOUS decision to rip car mode out of android) coupled with the polarization issue will force my hand.

This clip rotates easily, thankfully. I know for many of you charging in the car dock is a must. For me I've learned to live without it.

I could do that, as far as pictures of the mount. For my purposes, I have decided that this isn't the mount for me (would gladly send it to you if you'd like, for the cost of shipping), so I won't be sticking the charging puck to it. It's a nice mount, but I don't like the one-touch phone lock in, and it has no quick release button to release the phone (you have to pry the arm open to get the phone out).

Smart Fit2 + WCP-300 (includes type C adapter + choice of black or white charger) Total = $78 shipped to North America or UK (a few more countries available)

I could not find the car mount sold separately for less. Ask the seller if they will sell car mount on its own. On Ebay, the WCP-300 with adapter typically sells for $60 shipped from Korea, making this car mounts cost approx $18 with shipping included.

Got this in the mail today: http://www.amazon.com/xProDock-Sony-Nexus-Nokia-Smartphones/dp/B00C09XIBC/ref=pd_ybh_11

It's rock solid. The spring loading mechanism is a little tight making the unit at times a 2 handed function but I'm sure with some use it'll work itself out(I probably just need to crank the tightness on the ball joint down though honestly). Also I'm almost certain one could manage to Gorilla Glue a charging puck as the holder has plenty of room left using the Nexus with a Slim Armor case. One thing that surprised me though is that the actual suction arm I got is much much better than the one pictured on Amazon. It has a knob allowing for more freedom of movement.

Can you measure fully extended arms to see how much room is left after the phone with your case? I was thinking of getting the Smart Fit 2, but if this works with that $10 QI Pad that is on eBay it would be much cheaper.

Do you know what diameter and thickness your magnets are?

I'd be concerned with putting the magnets inside the phone that they would mess up the compass all the time. When I'm using GPS I dont usually care, but when I'm walking around a compass can come in handy.

+1 on the mountek been using this for all my phones in the past 2 years, however I don't place it in the cd player fits in another groove of my car perfectly.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Robpol86:
So I bought some magnets:

30 Neodymium Magnets 5/16 x 1/8 inch Disc N48

Then I bought an LG Qi transmitter:

LG Electronics WCP-300 Wireless Charging Pad

And lastly I bought the magnetic nGroove mount:

Mountek nGroove Snap Magnetic Vehicle Mount

I then took apart the Qi transmitter and removed the circuit board along with the ferrite block/plate and coil, and put it on the nGroove mount, only being held by the nGroove's magnet. And ontop of that I put four of those magnets ontop of the ferrite block around the coil.

Lo and behold everything Just Worked! I drove about 45mins with everything being held on by just the magnets and my Nexus 5 never fell off. I didn't use that little metal plate that came with the nGroove mount, it was just my phone without a case or anything. GPS worked fine and it appears enough power is getting to the phone to have it charged slightly more after the 45mins. Nothing got hot, the magnets/coils/ferrite/phone weren't hot to the touch or anything.

I just need to find a way to attach the Qi assembly to the nGroove thing, if I pull on my phone it takes everything but the nGroove with it. There are little screw holes in ferrite plate being covered by the magnets, maybe I can use that somehow, or just super glue it. I'm hoping I can find some kind of heat shrink material to wrap everything up, including that LED status light that's annoying at night.

Anyways thought I would share, in case someone is interested.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] darkamikaze:
Awesome! I'm thinking of doing something familiar.

I might leave the puck intact and sticky the ngroove metal plate behind it. Then put magnets on top of the the puck. Might make it stacks on stacks on stacks but we'll see.

Cool post nonetheless
[Nexus 5 Accessories] frigidazzi:
So can I clarify something. You put magnets on the n5 also? Or this was done with only the internal magnets the n5 already has?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] DJ-Tumor:

How did you open the LG wireless charger?

I bought this, but can't find how to open it. I tried twisting it, no luck. Any suggestions?

[Nexus 5 Accessories] undercover:
Could you please take some pictures of board sitting inside the case of the charger? I wonder if they can be built into it, via 4 holes. And how flush does the board sit to the face panel?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] MarkyH:
I just put together my magnetic Qi mount. Pretty similar to others in this thread, but I'm in the UK so used some different bits.

I used this charger pad

GMYLE(R)Black Wireless Mini Charging Pad Mat Qi-enabled Standard Charger (1000mA) with anti-slip design for Lumia920/ Lumia820/Nexus4 (With Free 2A Power Adapter UK Plug) - amazon uk £16.98

These magnets

Adhesive 10mm dia x 1mm N42 Black Epoxy Magnets - 0.45kg Pull from first4magnets.com £3.50

For the windscreen mount I just chopped up an old one I had in a draw and glued the GMYLE pad onto it.

Additionally I coated the front of the magnets with plastidip paint to stop slippage.

Total cost probably about £30, time taken - about 30mins. It works 100%. When using TomTom SatNav and streaming bluetooth audio from napster to my car at the same time, the phone still gains charge at about 10% per half hour. The phone doesn't slip, move or vibrate. Its held perfectly.

With my Spigen Neo Hybrid case on, the magnets won't hold my phone. The case is quite thick. It slips down, however, the charging works and the phone doesn't fall off, just slips. I may try adding some anti slip to the face of the charge pad, then again, I might just get a thinner case, or even not bother with one.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Robpol86:
The N5 doesn't have magnets inside (except for that weak one around the camera). I put magnets on the charger, since the N5 has more metal inside of it than the N4. So the N5 just sticks without any modifications needed.

I couldn't find any room inside the LG charger but I'm gonna try a couple of other things this weekend.

I just removed the four little feet on the bottom and removed the screws underneath. It just opened up without any effort, there aren't any tabs or adhesives. That one might be different.

Muuuuuch easier than opening the Google orb charger, that thing was a huge pain. I put magnets in that one too but it doesn't seem very practical from a car dock point of view.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] iOStoAndroid:
Hello, am also from the UK

Just wondering if i really need the plasti dip ?

Wouldn't the epoxy coating on the magnets be enough?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] MarkyH:
It had a good grip on the phone without the plastidip, but I didn't road test it until I had applied it so I'm not totally sure. The plastidip certainly increases grip a lot (although not enough for my slippery case)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] AndyCr15:
Probably a silly question, but which polarity would I need?

Might give this a go, even though I've already installed the Nokia CR-200... I like the idea of it being magnetic, no need for pressing things to release the phone.

Will most phones stick to the magnets then?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] MarkyH:
Polarity won't matter as the nexus 5 has 4 small metal plates (not magnets) under the rear case. They've been put there to allow the phone to self align on Google's own (yet to be available) wireless charger.

Check out ifixits strip down to see photos of the metal plates location.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Robpol86:
I couldn't really get a good picture of it. But there's just no room to put magnets inside the case. I managed to fit to in there, but they sat perpendicular to my phone, with the pole's axis parallel to my phone, so it had very little effect.

However I did discover a better way to arrange everything. This might be my final revision, since everything holds magnetically and I can put and pull my phone off the charger without anything coming off of the dock. its almost perfect!

So this is how I built it. I was messing around with the casing trying to get magnets inside, when the soft top side of the charger (with the LG logo in the center) popped off. So now I had three plastic pieces (the bottom, the top ring, and the top surface). In picture 1, on the left is the top ring that hugs the bottom part when everything is assembled, and on the right is the coil/ferrite/electronics sitting ontop of the top surface, so the LG logo is facing downwards there. Luckily the screws from the bottom of the case screw into this top part.

So as you can see in picture 2, I used the screws to screw the ferrite/electronics onto the top part. I then put the metal plate (which has adhesive) that came with the nGroove adapter onto the soft part of the top part (still following? lol). So now the LG logo is covered up by the nGroove metal plate (as you can see in picture 3).

All that makes the entire wireless charging assembly solid/rigid, and it doesn't move around. When I place that onto the nGroove mount, the metal plate does a great job at keeping everything solid. So in the last two pictures there is hardly any play, if any. It's pretty solid. Since the four magnets sit right ontop of the ferrite, they are more attracted to that than my phone which has plastic and other stuff ontop of whatever metal is inside it. So when I pull the phone off, only the phone comes out, everything else stays on the car dock.

Hope I explained that well.

EDIT: I just tried this with my Nexus 4, and it doesn't seem as effective (regarding holding the phone in place), it seems to slip off a lot and even if you had a case the magnetic pull isn't as strong. It works great with my Nexus 5 though.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] iOStoAndroid:
I see all you guys have black N5s.

Do you think the white one is more likely to slip?

BTW what does epoxy feel like?

Would a bare magnet or an epoxy coated magnet have more friction?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Robpol86:
I don't think the color will make a difference with grip or magnetic strength. Epoxy feels rubbery, while a neodymium magnet is coated in a very smooth metal (forgot what it was but it's quite smooth). Thats why with the glass back on my N4 slips easily on my dock when put against the bare magnet. Epoxy should definitely help increase friction and grip.

Also I made a gif, looks like the N5 auto-aligns to the magnets since the phone has those four pieces of metal inside it.

I'm quite proud of my dock :p
[Nexus 5 Accessories] undercover:
Thanks, great setup. Is pad easy to take apart? I wonder if it's possible to drill holes in top part and recess magnets so they are just lower than rubber ring. And if possible, how much thicker magnets would it take.
