[Nook Touch General] Renate:
I saw the logcat and it showed that it's unhappy and killing the Android.

I couldn't see exactly where the problem is.

I think that you are doing too many things at once.

If there are specific things that do not work, a logcat when you do that should show.
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
Yes, I was probably a little unclear. The ONLY thing that I did when I produced the logcat was attempt to push the modified framework-res.apk file back to the Nook. All those other things mentioned have long ago been successfully accomplished and included in my current backup (which I've had to use dozens of time in the last week or two as I struggle with this framework issue).

The ONLY change to the stock framework-res.apk is the overwriting of 28 *.9.png images with ones copied from another framework-res.apk which, unfortunately, is from FW1.10 (or I'd just use it "as is" without the copying). However, even pushing back an

un

modified stock apk results in the same mess.

Like I say, based on what functionality remains when the modified apk file is pushed over, it is clear that the new images are being used, but the system function is severely degraded.

I don't know much about the process, but from what I've read I'm wondering if it would be better to use a zip via CM to deliver this modified file? That way the Android system is not even running (right?) during the replacement procedure.
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
When you say "stop" Android is no longer running.

Try clearing the cache:

rm -R /data/dalvik-cache/*
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
Before pushing? After, but before rebooting?
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Anytime that Android is stopped you can clear the cache.
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
I tried this with a copy of the stock apk:

C:\>adb shell
# stop
# rm -R /data/dalvik-cache/*
# mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system
# ^C
C:\>adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework
C:\>adb shell
# reboot

It put me in an very long chase of the black and white dots that I almost thought would be endless but eventually it finished booting and is in the same condition as all the previous methods. Very crippled.

I can't figure it out :confused:
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
First, get the 1.2.1 update off B&N's website and unzip.

Get framework-res.apk out of that and push it.

The stuff in /system/framework should all be chmod 644.

An ADB push probably leaves it with wider access.

None of this should make any difference.

I'd guess that you are either missing a resource in your fw-r or else you modified something else.

Find an app that crashes. Get a logcat of just that crashing.
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
I got a copy of the FW 1.21 zip from B&N and extracted the framework-res.apk. I didn't try to push it yet. Instead I got the checksum for the current file on the Nook and compared it to the newly minted file. They were identical. I don't think there is any point in trying yet again with the same procedure. If my reasoning is incorrect, I'm certainly game to try anyway.

All files in /system/framework are chmod 644. The Framework folder itself (and the system folder) are something else, but the contents are all 644.

The only modifications I have made after rooting with Nook Manager are the installation of Google Apps, the implementation of multi-touch (I have to go back and look that up to see what all I did, but surely nothing with framework-res.apk or it never would have worked....), editing settings.db to relabel the QuickNav buttons after programming with NTMM, and pushing a modified copy of internal.db to fix the schizo "reading now" button. As i say, these are all long-established changes and the Nook has been stable with them. I think Google apps may modify framework.jar, but I'm not sure.

[I checked on multi-touch. I flashed a new kernal image and added one line to /etc/permissions/required_hardware.xml in order to enable multi-touch...have no idea what "flashed a new kernal" actually did, but it worked]

Two really noob questions: 1) how can I get a logcat of an app crashing when ADB will not run once a copy of framework-res.apk has been pushed? 2) if the Android system is actually stopped when I type "stop"in ADB shell, how does ADB continue to function?

And, actually, apps do not so much "crash" once I've attempted to put in a "new" framework-res.apk--most just refuse to run. But maybe there is something going on in the droid brain while the screen flickers a little and nothing else happens.
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
ADB runs under Linux, not the Android subsystem.

You should always be able to access ADB.

If ADB isn't running continuously and reliably you have problems.

If some app does not run, give the specific section in logcat where it doesn't run.
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
OK, so I must have misunderstood. Not knowing too much about the nature of the system, I assume you mean accessing ADB via a USB connection. I was referring to the ADB Konnect app (wireless). I do not have ADB-USB set up. I tried it once and so bolluxed up my PC that I could not use the USB transfer mode on the Nook. I backed out of all of that some time ago when I discovered how simple the wireless ADB was.

So I've hit a brick wall. I am remotely tempted to drag-drop my modded framework-res.apk into the FW1.21 zip, restore my Nook to factory and start all over again. I'm just not convinced it's worth it at this point, and, it still might not work.

I've reached too far, know when I'm beat.
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
If you want to use ADB over WiFi, use it.

Use your Amazing-Konnekt-O-Rama thing that you like to enable USB over WiFi.

ADB should continue to work.
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
The PNGs are not compressed (besides the overall compression of the ZIP file).

The PNGs are converted from a PNG with an extra 1 pixel border to a PNG with an alpha channel.

Since you didn't un-convert them, you didn't need to convert them.
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
If you want to design your own 9.pngs you follow the directions on the developer's website and make them one pixel larger all the way around.

The border contains indicators to which areas are "strechable".

If you are making your own app, aapt.exe converts these as part of the build process.

If you want to take some converted 9.pngs out of one apk and put them in another apk you can do that two ways.

You can unzip the source apk, copy the 9.pngs over and zip it all up.

You can apktool d (which un-converts) the source apk, copy the 9.pngs over and apktool b (which converts).

The difference in the intermediate 9.pngs is the difference I described above.
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
OK....I am sorely tempted, but fortunately I live in a little coastal town and don;t have access to another SD card until I drive into the city on Sunday morning and pick one up on my way home...so I get to think about it. I've tried everything else, so...

BUT, I am confused by the statement quoted above. I have a copy of the light theme framework-res.apk and unless it's been updated since I downloaded it, I count 28 files (not 26) which have been altered.
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
Oh, no...been there, done that. No joy. The CWM zip update is the only method I have NOT tried. That's the only reason I'm somewhat game. Meanwhile I'll check out your links (which apparently differ in detail from the place I started).
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
Buddy came over with an extra SD card....

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! mergen3107, I owe you a beer--no, a

CASE

of beer!!!! It worked :victory:

I can see all those formerly invisible menu options and there's just a very slight darkening of the background in typical menus (I used the Light option). And I didn't have to tear my system down and start all over again. Waiting for those permissions to be fixed, though....Now

that

was scary :eek:

You are THE man.

Thanks :)
[Nook Touch General] lcd047:
Can you please post the modified framework-res.apk that worked? TIA!
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
I would be happy to but I have since made other changes which you probably do not want (see here).

If you follow mergen3107's step-by-step above,you can make only the change you want. If I can do it, you can too :)

EDIT: OK, never mind all that. I downloaded the 1.21 update file from B&N and extracted a clean framework-res.apk and copied the stock quick-nav button icons from it onto a copy of my modded framework-res.apk, so you're good to go with only the menu background changes. These background color changes are the less dark ones so some menus which would otherwise show white text on a white background will now show white text on a light grey background. Readable if you need to see, but perhaps not ideal. I thought that was better than really darkening the menu backgrounds globally.

The modded apk file is inside the update.zip file attached. This gets copied onto a CWM sdcard and you install from there.
[Nook Touch General] lcd047:
I ended up with pretty much the same thing following this post, and I'm now enjoying white messages on the 51st shade of grey. :) The real crux of the matter is that system APKs need to have the system's certificates in META-INF rather than the usual signatures, that's why they have to be installed with the update.zip.
[Nook Touch General] richardcoop:
I'm not sure I understand.

All I need to do is install a copy of the above update zip using CWM and I am good to go.

Is it that simple?
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
As long as you are working with FW 1.21 and haven't already made alterations to your framework-res.apk, it should be that simple. Always make a backup. Murphy's Law and whatnot :fingers-crossed:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] naandrade:
So I recently switched from tmobile to at&t and I am able to use my new sim in the phone but I was wondering, do i still use the ROMs specific to this device or use the at&t ones? I figured I continue to use the tmobile ones becasue the device itself obviously didnt change but I just want to make sure something hardware wise doesnt mess up.

thanks

It seems you understand what I'm gonna say, but it's still worth mentioning again. Remember that in the end, the device is still a T-Mobile M919. What I mean by that is that when it comes to kernels and most importantly - Odin-flashable firmwares and modems, you

Ok so i have been doing a lot of reading abojt cjstom roms and have been using energy lagest 4.2.1 rom.....it works well but i am having some random retarts and thought i would try Cyanogenmod 11.0.....in the instructions it says to down grade then install cyan....but i think that was when using the old energy....is thi right or do i really have to downgrade? I dont want to mess this up....also now that i have energy installed is it to late to intall nvflash?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] roywebs:
You must downgrade if you want to have access to nvflash, read the threath named Flatline..., it will give you the necesary steps, as far i know, it involves downgrading the bootloader and the recovery, then flash the androidmobi flatline. In androwooks threath there are some files for downgrading..., but im not sure in the energy rom. I think downgrading will be mandatory, after that, make the nvflash backups (Flatline), and that will be the point to start flashing other roms.

[Moto X Q&A] cobaltleo:
recently changed service providers and wanted to use my moto x but its sim locked to the carrier. i looked around on the forums and the method of buying a unlock code just seems to risky, I wouldn't mind flashing my phone if it would get me what i wanted. i don't like the phone i got with the service but i'm not on contract anymore. so would flashing the phone get me past the sim lock or would it still be there afterwards?
[Moto X Q&A] southern87:
If you are not under contract then call that carrier for the unlock. Which carrier out of curiosity.

You can't flash past the Sim lock far as I am aware
[Moto X Q&A] Bl00dRunzC0ld:
If it's gsm, you can't flash to a different provider. Sim unlock is the only way to use it on other carriers. If it's Verizon, even though it's cdma, it should be gsm unlocked already if you moved to gsm. If it's Sprint you should be able to flash it to another cdma carrier.

[General Accessories] vectron:
This is a review of Bidenuo G800 in-ear headphone with Android controls. http://dx.com/p/bidenuo-g800-in-ear...-silver-3-5mm-126cm-cable-254398#.Uyzy6rCPL3h

I'm very pleased to see that more and more companies are starting to recognize importance of fully integrated in-line remote dedicated specifically to Android smartphones. Though multi-function control even with iPhone dedicated remote usually works with Android, volume buttons don't. With this particular model of Bidenuo headphones, I was intrigued since it had "for android" indicator on the box. Plus, it looked really cool :) Here is what I found.

I have reviewed a number of Bidenuo headphones from dx.com in the past, and those always arrived in a nice looking package. Out of the box, I was very impressed with a level of design details and included accessories. First of all, it comes with a neat looking hard shell storage case, oval in shape instead of a typical round. Also, included was a shirt clip and a set of hybrid eartips, much better quality than a typical silicone eartips. Headphones had a flat textured rubbery cable which appeared to be tangle-free. From a distance, the cable kind of looks like a shoelace, actually very original design. 3.5mm headphone connector was straight and gold plated, and also had a decent strain relief. At the other end, you have a similar strain relief connecting cable to earphones inside of a lightweight metal housing. Now, here is something where I have love-hate comment. The diamond cut of these earphones look cool, but it can "rub" you the wrong way depending on the size of your ears. In theory, once you put it in your ear, it should stay there without moving. But if you don't have a good fitment and earbud is moving, that diamond cut finish will not feel as pleasant rubbing against you ear. I personally didn't have a problem with it, but others might do.

Labeled as "for Android", I was able to confirm it's remote working perfectly with my Note 2 where multi-function button single click performed Play/Pause/Call, double-click to Skip Next, triple-click to Skip Back, and long-press to start Google NOW. Also, Volume up/down buttons worked perfectly, which I would expect for HTC, LG, and Sony phones as well. Call sound quality was good. Regarding audio playback, don't expect high audiophile quality for something that cost $17 plus change. But for that price, it sounded pretty good. Bass was punchy (not deep and boomy), mids/treble were clear. For general audio listening and phone control these will do the job fine!

Overall, Bidenuo G800 was a nice set of in-ear headphones with a confirmed full Android controls. For that price, the sound was not bad at all, and they also had a decent build quality. My only concern was with diamond cut exterior finish which might not suite everybody, depending on your ear size and headphone fitment. But in general, they look pretty cool and represent a good value considering included premium hybrid eartips and a protective case.

Here are the pictures.
[Networking] jvoelcker:
Hi,

I've now had my Universal for a couple of weeks and am disappointed at how badly implemented the comms side of things are.

Having wireless switched on all of the time eats up the batteries in hours so I am surprised that nobody has come up with some sort of comms manager to switch on Wireless access when it is required for things like picking up email, browsing, etc and then turn it off when not required.

Ok the switch off is handled, but not the auto connection side of things.

It would also be handy to have profiles so that when in a wireless area the phone automatically check mail on one schedule and then when out and about on on GPRS or 3G there is another profile that perhaps only picks up email for key accounts and also less often.

What do you think?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scibuff:
Hi guys I have been using CM 11 on my Galaxy Note 8.0 for some time, since I prefer the stock UI to TouchWiz. It is also convenient to be able to mount an NTFS formatted external drive w/o any third party solution. However, I noticed that BT audio skips quite a bit to the point where it would make listening to music through my BT adapter or headphones annoying or unbearable. The issue appears only when the screen is locked (no skipping occurs when the screen is on) Has anyone else encountered this issue?

I believe I found a way to fix this issue. I basically enabled development settings by tapping build number a couple times, then I went into performance and changed the governor from pegasusq to ondemand. This appears to have resolved the BT audio skipping. If anyone else has experienced this problem, I would like for them to try this quick fix and let me know if it works!

EDIT - the performance governor also seems to resolve the BT issue while at the same time improving game performance.
