Noob question(s): Once a NC is rooted, do you switch back and forth between the "pre-rooted" screens and the Android launcher screen? Do you have to download a B&N reader or do you use the reader already there?

Thanks to everyone who shares their knowledge here - you guys are great!
[Nook Color General] bighead21:
answered your own question :) If you look at other people's screen shots, you can see a soft button right below the drawer icon... that button is Nook-specific and opens the regular Nook menu
[Nook Color General] barbo:
Thank you, big - I hadn't looked at screen shots. I appreciate the answer and I am getting closer to taking the plunge.
[Nook Color General] rckymtnrfc:
You also have a Library app and Shop app that show up in any replacement launcher you install. About all you lose is the B&N homescreen, which you can still get to with Home Switcher.

I actually wish we could disable the popup menu...its redundant and I bump it often.
[Nook Color General] therealguppy:
If you Run Zeam Launcher in "Full Screen" it is cover up the normal B&N Launcher. However you loss access to the soft back and menu buttons, and the notifications area.. Not really worth it.

hi to all i have an HD7 with english language and cant change it in the option menu couse the icon is hiden to Enlish and cant be selected , anyone have tested to change the rom and how ?? thanks
[HD7 General] nrfitchett4:
there are no custom ROMs currently for any wp7 device.

If its the tmous hd7, it is english only. That should change with the first update coming in january.

According to mbm... Getting a rom running off an sd is quite simple,.
[Nook Color General] DebauchedSloth:
Seriously cool.
[Nook Color General] Bimboy:
Love to be able to do this. Be nice to be able to try builds easily, with destroying the stock image too badly. Hope some details get posted! :)
[Nook Color General] clockworx:
I actually have mine doing this at the moment, just mounting a ext2 partition on the SD instead of the internal one. I tried Froyo and Eclair from an Emulator ROM, but no go. Also tried a Motorola Droid ROM, which I'm currently trying to recover from :) The inability to run updater-script's is a pretty big pain in the but, and that's the issue I had with the Droid ROM.
[Nook Color General] BertoJG:
Very exciting stuff going on here. I look forward to being able to run a clean rom on the device to get an idea of what it's true capabilities are.
[Nook Color General] bousquet:
I know this is an old post, but I'm really looking to get the stock rom booting off the SD card. It would make other development testing less concerning.

I'd be interested in trying this myself, but I don't know what to do about the varying emmc partition sizes to SD card sizes.

Thanks for any advise or assistance!

Cheers!

I want the animated flip clock/weather widget for my stock rooted g2. If anyone knows how to do that, it would be much appreciated. Please and thank you.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] gcantrell:
Well a search wouldn't hurt, would it? Anyways, just google Fancy Widget apk. You'll probably want version 1.3.0
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] meltedmoops999:
Well if you read what i typed, i said ORIGINAL and i did do a search on this site and Google. Fancy widgets is ugly. Its nothing like the HTC flipclock. It probably doesnt even have animations.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] JupiterDroid:
I think you will find v1.30 is exactly the same as the htc flip clock. You was given the correct information. So instead of flaming someone that helped you, get over to 4 shared and download fancy widget v1.30 then come back here and apologize to this guy that helped you out.

[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] nomadism:
Really if you want the exact flip clock the answer is no. You must use the sense Rom. HTC doesn't let developers make imitation clocks of their flip clock.

And you can't simply extract an file from sense, as the clock app is integrated with the ROM itself.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] meltedmoops999:
Yeah, thats what i was trying to do. Port it from the sense rom to the stock rom but it didnt let met install it. It needs the whole sense to run. Gotcha. ill check out fancy widgets 1.3.0. And i apologize for being snarky lol. all good now? :D
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] JupiterDroid:

V1.30 will do the trick for you mate;)

FWIW my Nexus One running a CM 6.0 nightly from 2 days ago has

ro.build.fingerprint=google/passion/passion/mahimahi:2.2.1/FRG83/60505:user/release-keys

Note the more up-level version (2.2.1) and build (FRG83). I haven't tried this on my GTab yet but I will as soon as I can get it up and running.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] rcgabriel:
The only specific things I can tell you off the top of my head are TV.com which I know wasn't there because I searched for it a few hours ago. Also, I tried searching Market for Handcent before and found 14 or 15 results, and after this process I was able to retrieve 24 results.

There were a bunch of random apps I saw in the Top Apps list that I don't remember seeing earlier today. So that was enough to convince me that most of the missing 10-20% of apps are there now.

And thanks for the compliment, especially coming from the guy who made the G Tablet useful!
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] rcgabriel:
I'm sure that will work too, though the FRF91 build string seems to match the existing data in the ZPad ROM at least. I'm guessing the two signatures will produce essentially identical Market results.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] short/y:
Yeah. I may be somewhat overoptimistic going with FRG83. The build and version numbers identify the version of the system code so apps may read them and make some assumptions as to certain API characteristics. We're probably closer to FRF91 than FRG83 on TnT Lite.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] ewitte:
This one worked ok for me

ro.build.fingerprint=samsung/SGH-T849/SGH-T849/SGH-T849:2.2/FROYO/UVJJB:user/release-keys
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] short/y:
Is that from the Samsung Tablet? That may be closer to what we're really running.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] ewitte:
Yes this is Galaxy Tab. Probably better a Tegra tab once a full market one comes out.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] mike0miller:
I did the following:

1) Edited build.prop as described in step 4, rebooted and searched for tv.com - no results

2) I preformed the edits in step 4a, rebooted and searched for tv.com - no results

3) I stopped Market & Google Services Framework & wiped Google Services Framework, rebooted after getting Market Error, waited for wifi and opened Market to search for tv.com - no results.

I can't say if it works. I haven't had trouble finding apps, but I can't find tv.com before or after the steps above. Perhaps, I missed something.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] mike0miller:
Wait!!!! It does work. I tried again after posting and it's there! Thanks!
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] jdnyc:
Is it possible to post the TV.com app? I don't want to do the mod but would love that app!
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] wlawyer:
Great post man worked like a charm, I can get my slingbox app from the market now.

Edit: dammit I can't get the downloaded sling client to launch even after trying it many times which usually worked.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] jdnyc:
I'm going to give it a shot but being a newbie I'm not clear on this step:

5) Now you are going to click on Save and Exit. And then remount the /system directory as R/O

Will "remount as r/o" be an option to select at this point? If not, can you provide more detail.

The rest of the mod is easy enough to follow.

Thanks.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] wlawyer:
No worries its just a button on root explorer, download it and you will see it fairly quick.

My biggest problem was the sideloaded programs would not notify of an update when Market browsing.. Problem solved. Make sure to post a thanks to iamchocho!
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] gtabman:
What else can I try...

Hi all,

been trying the market fix on vegan gingerbread rom. Follow the original instructions, TB method and finally update the build.prop (Thanks TEK112 for the tip!).

After updating the build.prop and follow the OP steps, I can see more category options under Apps BUT I still can't find the typical apps like Amazon mobile, Ebay and even CNN (the real CNN)??!!?? :mad:

I also tried updating the build.prop again with:

ro.build.tags=release-keys <--Changed this one, it was set as test-keys which seemed wrong so I changed it to match the fingerprint.

ro.product.device=olympus

ro.build.fingerprint=google/passion/passion/mahimahi:2.2/FRF91/43546:user/release-keys

I still get the same result (no Amazon mobile, Ebay and CNN) :confused:

Any thoughts? As always, thank your for reading this post.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] JoTeC:
GTabMan, This worked for me but I am running a different ROM. It could be the issue. Check with others running the Vegan ROM and see if they can get the programs you are looking to show up. My Market has never been better since this fix. I updated all my old sideloaded programs and now the Market notifies me of updates. I am getting updates almost everyday. (I have a few apps... ;)) Just make sure you do the normal Market fix AFTER you change your build.prop shown below.

6) Now you are going to re-do the original Market Fix. I used the simple version illustrated here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7l-ny...eature=related First, make sure Market is running, and browse around in it for a few seconds. If you don't do this, there may be no cache to clear and for some reason the market fix may not work. Then, go to Settings->Applications->Manage Applications->Running and scroll down to Market. Then hit Clear Cache, followed by Force Stop **DO NOT CLEAR DATA FOR MARKET, JUST CACHE**. Then go back, scroll down to Google Services Framework, hit Clear Data, then Force Stop.

I hope you get it working, like I said, I have never been so happy with my Market. I even deleted my Amazon account... ;)
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] gtabman:
Thank you for your respond JoTeC. One thing that I notice the difference in Vegan Gingerbread is on step 6, instead under 'Running', my option for Clear Cache and Force Stop is under 'All'. This could've been the differences on the ROM though.

The market is working, i.e. automatic updates work and I'm getting more categories. But I still can't get some of the items that I see in https://market.android.com/.

I still don't have full market options...

Just curious, are you able to see the apps I mentioned in my OP (Amazon mobile, Ebay and CNN - the one actually from CNN) and Netflix?

Thank you again.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] JoTeC:
The Market seems busy tonight but:

*Amazon.com (Amazon Mobile) YES, also Amazon MP3

*Ebay (Official eBay Android App) YES

*CNN (CNN App for Android Phones) YES (From CNN) Also CNN RSS News and News (both from Android Application Team)

*Netflix NO (But I think it would not show up for Android 2.2 Froyo)

EDIT: I also checked for you on my HTC Inspire 4G and no Netflix in Market either...
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] gtabman:
Thank you for the confirmation. This confirmed that I still don't have access to full market yet...

I am on stock 3588 plus the Enhanced Performance Pck since January. Market has been pretty stable until about a month and a half ago. Since then I have to apply the fix every few days.

My build prop did not change since January. Is Google doing something different?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Russellah:
I have done the fix and a lot of missing apps showed up but i still cannot find some of them. For example multipicture live will not show up in the market app. If i search for it on the market site it says that my account doesnt have a device attached.

There are other apps too. Pocket Legends does the same thing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Please help...please?

I am running the factory version of the g tablet software and, as the engaging video just told me, I am an incredibly huge noob. The extent of my noob-ality is actually astounding. I have tried the market fix on this thread, but I cant seem to get the full version of root explorer working. so I tried the instructions here,

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=827209

all was well when I finally figured out how to tell the thing to mount as r/w. However after after running an su command and attempting to munt as r/w, a little bar comes up down the bottom saying "mount successfully." but then another comes up saying "unable to chmod/mnt/sdcard/g_tablet: operation not permitted"

I have installed z4root according to yet another set of instructions, is it possible that z4root is ucking with my business and not letting me mount the file as a r/w? Any help whats so ever would be hugely appreciated. I am close to either tears or joining a hermitage so as to avoid and similar disturbances caused by technological misery,

much love

[G Tablet Themes and Apps] nic8612:
I'm having some problems with this. I have Vegan installed on my gtab. I originally had the market working fine on it, but I saw the new version of the market available online and downloaded the apk for it and installed it out of curiosity. Well, it didn't work, so I uninstalled it. I have the market working again after the fix, but nothing will download. I can see all the apps on the market, but any time I try to download anything, the download initializes then the market force closes and kills the download. I don't know if it matters, but my google services framework is version 2.3.3. Any ideas??? Is there any specific market version I need to download in order for it to work?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] TEK112:
Which ROM?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] nic8612:
Sorry, I said Vegan in my post, but forgot the version. Vegan 7
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] TEK112:
I'm sorry, but I am unfamiliar with Vegan 7. Can you post a link to a thread on it? There are many people having issues with GB and the new market.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] nic8612:
Really? You aren't familiar with VeganTab? Its one of the most widely used roms next to CM7 and TnT lite? Anyway, here's a link to the site dedicated to it:

vegantab.gojimi.com
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] TEK112:
Sorry about that. The only ROM known with 7 in it is CM7. Vegan Tab Ginger Edition is what you have. Technically you are right about it being version 7, but everyone calls is Vegan Ginger. Unlike Vegan Tab 5.1.1 Beta which is not called Vegan Froyo, but Vegan 5 Beta.

There is a known issue and if you visit the XDA thread for vegan tab ginger edition, gojimi is planning one more release and that will address the new market crash issue. As I suggest to everyone who has this problem, I would suggest moving to the 1.2 dev branch and getting honeycomb. More specifically Flshback 7.2.

If you want to stay on vegan Ginger Edition you may have luck trying to install this market instead.:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1166999

Good luck, let me know what you plan on doing or if the market works.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] nic8612:
Hmm, I've tried that market version as well as any other apk that I can get my hands on. I guess I'm just going to have to switch roms for now. I see you have something about dropbox in your sig, I can't even get dropbox to work, says it can't connect to the server. I'm not sure which dev branch I have first of all, and how would I go about switching versions? I can't seem to find anything by searching. And btw, thanks for all your help
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] TEK112:
I'm not going to lie. It is painful trying to get to the 1.2 dev branch. You will need to be handy with nvflash and have all of the drivers for nvidia installed on your PC and they are OS specific. The XP drivers are different from Win 7.

Basically you need to nvflash to 3588 stock firmware (1.1 dev branch) and then you need to flash to the 1.2 dev branch firmware 4349 using update.zip roms and nvflash. Then you can install the latest and greatest honeycomb releases. Sadly, there is not as much coverage on here for the honeycomb roms (there seems to be a terrible lag for updates) so most of the support is found on slate droid. I'm not saying abandon XDA, but there are other resources to help your transition.

You gotta be brave. You will be flashing new firmware and may softbrick your tablet several times in order to get it to work. To date, no one has killed there tablet flashing ROMs. However, to the unseasoned person your tablet may boot to a black screen and you may think it's dead. There are things you should familiarize yourself with like APX mode, nvflash and stock recovery vs clockworkmod.

I am a member here and there (same tag) and will help if you get stuck. I have a few instruction guides floating around as well as hosted files for nvflash 1.1 and 1.2 along with a way to flash clockworkmod as part of you 1.2 nvflash upgrade. If you do this, backup your apps and data with titanium backup and backup your files on your sdcard as everything will be wiped during the transition.

Just know that this may take you a few days depending on how much time you can put in. For the seasoned person you can go from stock off the shelf to honeycomb in about 2 hours. Mostly, time waiting for databases to build and boot times. So, don't do this if you plan on relying on your tablet for immediate use (like going on vacation the next day or taking a business trip). Do the research and feel comfortable before you start. Just remember, no matter how bad you may mess it up, all of us will help you get it back.

Market fix for the FC issue on VeganTab Ginger is posted in this thread:

Or to quote:
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Kerivkennedy:
So are you saying that Flshback 7.2 is a Honeycomb ROM stable enough even for more novice users? I too have VeganGinger but wouldn't mind going on to Honeycomb. (this after hating CM7). Of course all in all I'd just like the Market to work again, which is what I am to the all knowing XDA folks for.

Good luck, let me know what you plan on doing or if the market works.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] TEK112:
It is now up to 8.1 and even more stable than it ever was. It is truly a daily driver if you are willing to give up your camera. If you follow the directions to the letter, you will have no problems installing it. Follow the link in my sig and enjoy.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Kerivkennedy:
Awesome. I may just have to give it a try. I don't use the camera. It isn't worth much anyhow. I find that my cheap Pantech cellphone takes better pictures.

However, much of the whole process of modding overwhelms me. The G-tab was originally my husbands and he put Froyo on there, and when he passed it on to me (having bought a Thrive for himself), I had requested CM7, so he did that. Thanks to (I forget which user), having a super awesome youtube video, I managed to do the switch to VeganGinger as easy as 1,2,3. (I learn by seeing and doing, so the whole reading directions ahead of time, just confuses and frustrates me. I have to dive in, sink or swim in order to learn).
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] TEK112:
Remember, once upon a time, we were all there.

Just download the appropriate drivers, learn how to nvflash (you need to get from boot loader 1.1 to 1.2), and when you are successfully on 4349 TnT (stock ROM on 1.2 boot loader) write back and I will give you further instructions. Don't forget to backup your important files and copy them to your PC. Everything will be erased.
