[Nook Color General] antoniouslj:
Just installed SetCPU and noticed the clock scaling was set to "conservative"...

I set it to "ondemand" and it crashed.

Interesting.

Also interesting is my home button doesn't work anymore. It happened after I installed 3 apps, but I can't put my thumb on what exactly caused it.

I installed a game called ArchMage, ShootMe (which works pretty well for screenshots btw), and SetCPU.

EDIT: After a Reboot, everything seems to be running fine. I did notice the stock kernel only has three clock steps, 300, 600, and 800.
[Nook Color General] clockworx:
Did it complain about whether or not you had root, and what Phone/CPU choice did you select for it?
[Nook Color General] antoniouslj:
SuperUser worked fine on initial launch so it has full root.

I used the autodetect setting.
[Nook Color General] antoniouslj:
One thing I did notice is the bogoMIPS measured by linux is 796 on the NC, while it's 738 on my Nexus One.
[Nook Color General] bighead21:
FYI, you can take screenshots by holding down N and pressing Vol Down... The files are saved to the media/my files/screenshots folder IIRC
[Nook Color General] blacter:
When I ran SetCPU it did not detect root and gave me a "read only" mode.
[Nook Color General] antoniouslj:
Have you correctly installed Superuser and rebooted the nook?
[Nook Color General] Bimboy:
FYI, Since the kernel is not set to allow undervolt/overclock, we cannot fo that. SetCPU was one of the first things I loaded on my NC after rooting/su.
[Nook Color General] antoniouslj:
I know... but you can change the default governor from "conservative" to "on demand" with 600mhz as minimum to get a significant performance boost with minimal battery impact. My NC has been on for 5 hours today so far and batter is at 62%. Played several games and spent a lot of time browsing the web.
[Nook Color General] bphillips09:
Haha, I thought this was a pun.

Like when you press the "n" button with your thumb.
[Nook Color General] giantsfan:
I have the same issue...no SU. I thought I was rooted since I have been able to push adb commands and sideload. Guess not? I have no clue what to do to get superuser. Any help is much appreciated. TIA.
[Nook Color General] The2ndclory:
AFAIK there in no adb support without the rooting process being complete. You can check if your device is rooted if you connect your nook and run adb shell, you should notice a #(which indicates root) sign awaiting your commands.

Setcpu wasn't working properly for me either after following the process. I just ended up uninstalling and reinstalling the Superuser apk.
[Nook Color General] giantsfan:
Can you explain how you uninstalled and reinstalled it? I don't see it installed at all. Thanks.
[Nook Color General] gigadigit:
Can we set it to run at 800Mhz? How is the performance on that? If I can get around 5 hours of battery life, it'll be fine.
[Nook Color General] antoniouslj:
it only has 3 steps on the freq table... 300, 600, and 800. after locking the nc to stay at 800 all the time, it does speed everything up quite a bit. whatever you do don't check the set on boot option, as something could easily go awry.
[Nook Color General] The2ndclory:
Do you have astro Installed?
[Nook Color General] gigadigit:
Where can I find superuser.apk file? My nook is rooted but I don't see that app. Or superuser.apk is a file that I can download.
[Nook Color General] giantsfan:
Yes. It is installed.
[Nook Color General] French.:
So for the "on demand" the minimum should be 600...should max be 800?

Also, if I do not check "on reboot" does it default to something else?

P.S. what is the Nook running at natively?
[Nook Color General] Bimboy:
I've had 'set on boot' set since I installed it on Monday or Tuesday.. many reboots between then and now. What could go awry?
[Nook Color General] slatonyam:
I had a problem with getting setcpu running running even after following the instructions on installing superuser and su. What I did was installed superuser through astro and then installed the z4root app and ran that. Now I am able to run setcpu. I was afraid of running the z4root app but so far so good.
[Nook Color General] eggman618:
I used z4root to give su access to the setcpu.

My issue (?) is that the scaling shows a max of 600mhz

On the two bars for Min and Max, they both only max out to 528MHz???

Am I just using the program wrong?
[Nook Color General] antoniouslj:
Did you use something other than auto detect for device selection?
[Nook Color General] antoniouslj:
Not if you know what you're doing... but if you tweak some settings and you're device crashes, you won't be able to reboot.
[Nook Color General] sark666:
Is using setcpu really necessary to get a performance boost? I've read the hardware itself is fairly capable and the reason for it's sluggishness has more to do with the b&n software? Or maybe 2.2 will give a nice boost?

I'd rather not oc if I don't have to.
[Nook Color General] gigadigit:
I am getting a nice boost to the speed. Without setcpu, it's set up to run at 300mhz. the cpu is capable of 800mhz, so i just set it to 600min and 800 max. I don't believe that's overclocking.
[Nook Color General] antoniouslj:
We aren't overclocking. The nook is set to throttle the CPU conservatively to apparently save battery. We're just making it push the pedal to the medal a little more making for faster responsiveness system-wide.

The biggest improvement is in web browsing speeds believe it or not. I can load new pages in Opera Mobile in about 3 seconds on average (using Opera Turbo).
[Nook Color General] French.:
I noticed that the default in SetCPU is "conservative" and the min is 600 and max 800...so if you do not check off "set on boot" it will reboot in conservative with the settings you were putting in "on demand" anyway.
[Nook Color General] sark666:
Ok overclocking wasn't the correct description here. But I think you see what I'm getting at: is the b&n software the cause of a lot of the sluggishness and something like a plain 2.2 would noticeably increase the performance?
[Nook Color General] dwcasey:
A kernel will have to be developed that is "unlocked" for the CPU to allow us to overclock.
[Nook Color General] Apothegm:
I dont imagine the BN software running over android on in it is too much of a bog on the system. However it will see quite an increase when 2.2 is on it properly, unlike first gen android phones, it should see quite a bump in performance from Dalvik JIT
[Nook Color General] Noah98:
When I tried Setcpu, it let me set the max to 800, but I could only set the min to 300 (the slider bar wouldn't move, so I couldn't set it to 600).
[Nook Color General] johnopsec:
Click on the "Profiles" Tab.

Click on "Add Profile".

Condition does not matter as we're only setting one profile.

Set Governor to "ondemand".

Set Max to "800000".

Set Min to "600000".

Priority does not matter as we're only setting one profile.

Click "Save".

Check the "Enable" box at the top of the screen.

Click on the "Main" Tab.

You should now be able to set Min to "600000".

Check the "Set on Boot" checkbox.

You're done. :D
[Nook Color General] johnopsec:
Being able to push via ADB != rooted. It simply means that ADB Debugging is enabled on your device.

z4root will get you totally rooted where Apps that require root work properly.
[Nook Color General] Nooter:
Setting the min and max to 300 doesn't seem to really limit the CPU from going above 300. I see it jumping to 600, anyway, on occasion (right within setCPU!).

Is there any way to lock it at 300? I'm going on a long trip, and I want to maximize my battery life.
[Nook Color General] sp1kez:
Has anyone tried the droid x/ droid 2 overclock app? They all share the same hardware as the nook color

That's what I'm using.. And pretty much disabled most of it, just want it to be set to ondemand at all times.
[Nook Color General] runhopskipjump:
Wouldn't the kernal need to have support for it first? Kind of like how droidwall doesn't properly work on the nookie froyo build yet because the kernal doesn't have support for netfilter yet.

[Nook Color General] HotShotAzn:
Simply put, yes. You need a kernel that supports OC to use SetCPU to OC.

The guys at Arhosfans got the A70 which uses the same processor to overclock to 1.2GHz stable.

They aren't fashionable these days, but for texting and emailing, they are still very practical. Out of curiosity, what do you consider to be the best hardware keyboard that you've ever used on a cell phone? Why?

Personally, I think that the HTC Touch Pro 2 was the best keyboard that I ever used because of its excellent layout. I also firmly prefer 5-row keyboards, which is one reason why I choose to import my Samsung Epic 4G and use it as a wi-fi device. The keyboard also allowed me to type at a decent WPM rate.

I'm hoping for an Android phone with a similar layout. The G2/Desire Z is a 4-row keyboard and I think that the hinge might snap on that phone.

Note: Please back up your opinions with why if you are going to post a new keyboard.
[General Topics] Akulamenuri:
Without question, the Touch Pro 2.

[General Topics] PokeAsheep:
I liked the tp1, moved to tp2 and LOOOved it

I have the epic now and love it too. It's near perfect. (Only issue is when you type fairly fast it begins to mis letters and such...not that often though. Maybe 1 every 25 characters)

Overall tp2, epic and tp1 grade A keyboards

Epic Is As Epic Does
[General Topics] orb3000:

I've never used the TP2, I was answering the question. Best keyboard I have used. My opinion.
[General Topics] highlandsun:
Yeah, I like the G1 keyboard. Haven't used the TP2 though it certainly looks decent (layout) in photos.

Waiting for a new Android phone with a keyboard at least as good as the G1. G2 loses because of no dedicated digit row.
[General Topics] vbetts:
The best that I've used is probably my Moments keyboard. I liked the soft keys and the spacing. The worst I've used is probably tied right now. Either the Palm Pre keyboard since it's so small, or the Droid keyboard.

LG Shine Plus, which I've had for 3 months now. It is only a 4 row, but has a dedicated number row at the top, which also leaves more space between the top letter row and the top portion of the phone. The bottom row shares the spacebar and letters, which doesn't bother me at all. When i was looking at phones for my friend I looked at the Desire Z, and while I liked it I didn't think the keyboard would be that great to use because of the top letter row being shared with the number row and crowded up against the top portion of the phone. The back of the phone sure looked amazing though with that brushed metal cover.
[General Topics] Alex530:

[General Topics] Pickx:
HTC Vision (G2/Desire Z) has quite a great keyboard in my opinion. Unfortunately it has some useless keys: .com key (wtf?), Tab key (great idea but poorly supported by OS), SYM key (shows a menu with some extra symbols) and 2-3 Quick Keys (mostly useless since Android natively supports customizable keyboard shortcuts that do the same thing). And why does it have a dedicated key for tilde (~)? Fortunately all keys can be remapped via ButtonRemapper.

The SE M1i Aspen has a really great keyboard. Tought it will probably take some time to learn

how the shift and Fn keys works.

Also the back lit on the keyboard turns off too fast which makes you need to guess where the button is and then delete that wrong letter and write till the back lit goes ou again.

Written on the M1i Aspen on a bus ride to work...

g1 keyboard is above all , worst is xperia x1
[General Topics] Major A:
I recently tried the Desire Z, and I was so disapointed ! I can't stand the lack of direct access to numbers, and I feel the layout oh FN keys not usefull. Same experience than on N900, but a little less comfortable due to relative thin body of the under part of the device.

I got a mixed feeling about the Rhodium. I used it for a small time, and since many friends where amazed by the large and spaced keys, I type really slower due to the layout than on my Raphael (and quite surprised by the memory melting down quickly, and lack of flash LED). The real surprise was to try the Droid / Milestone 2. If you like the small keys well shaped on the Raphael, you will love the feeling (and hate Android Soft keyb :(). That's very difficult times for old QWERTY lovers !

What are the benefits of getting Zune pass. Also would i be able to download music from market place for free if im paying for a zune pass?
[HD7 General] digime:
Try the free trial. I did and now I subscribe. I really like it.

Note that as well as streaming you can download stuff to the phone (without using Zune on the PC). Very handy. I tend to do that while connected to a charger or while at work when connected by USB.
[HD7 General] ariel123:
So once you buy the pass. Is there a limit on how many songs you can download from market place
[HD7 General] Jace100:
I've had the Zune pass for a couple years now and I really like it.

About 90% of the music on the Zune network is included in the pass. There is no limit on how many songs you can download a month and you are allowed to select 10 songs a month to keep and remove the DRM from the song.
[HD7 General] ariel123:
So you're saying not all of the songs in market place are included with the Zune pass?
[HD7 General] Jace100:
No, not all of them are. Though, it's a very small amount. Your personal tastes in music will affect how much of the music you will actually have to buy and not be able to rent via zune pass.

The rental licenses are negotiated at a distributor level. If you prefer a genre that distributes widely through small, independant house or you like artists who a distributed predominantly through a single distributor (For example, Zune pass didn't have the rights to SubPOP at first) you may have some trouble.

As a previous poster stated: give the trial a spin, that will answer your questions best.
[HD7 General] yly3:
Since I can't keep all my downloaded songs I am not buying it sorry. Big music enthusiast over here and I spent quite some money on music every year. It's basically renting your music as long you pay for the pass (which is indeed the price of a single CD for a month).

I would have paid let's say 25 bucks per month just to physically have my music on my HDD, even if it was compatible with only a Zune device.

Overall I am not a fan of renting.
[HD7 General] frontieruk:
I've doubled my collection at a fraction of the cost to buy it all, I can pick and mix and renting means you can download that album you heard that one song from but weren't willing to lay down cash for in-case it sucked, the way i see it we rent our tv shows, the future appears to be renting games with services like onlive why not rent music? people are paying for their spotify service to listen to music on the move on mobiles this is no different.

I see you point though.
[HD7 General] yly3:
^ I agree Zune is full of advantages but I am a collectioner as I said above. I listen to my music offline and use my phone as a Zune device (which actually is). The only reason I'd go online while listening music would be to scrobble (I heard it's coming pretty soon) to Last.fm or ocasional browsing. Some offline scrobbling would be awesome, just like the Mobbler app for Symbian.
[HD7 General] frontieruk:
you know you can listen to the music you download offline right (joke I know you do)?, to me it's been a god send my hd7 is full, my zuneHD is full as well but not with the same music. As long as the pass is valid the musics valid across multiple devices it's workable and you kind of get used to dl'ing a new album every couple of nights lol
[HD7 General] yly3:
Yes I knew and I was thinking of editing my initial post but got lazy :D. I wish Microsoft provided more Zune plans or sub-plans or offers or whatever .. I agree if we were able to download practically unlimited it would have become LimeWire 15 bucks edition but some sort of 5GB limit per 3 months with Zune-device only storage would have been great. Endless possibilities
[HD7 General] frontieruk:
I've downloaded 48gigs since launch, that's more than you can eat really, not sure what you meant by the sub-plan 5gig / 3mnths? you can only d/l 5 gigs over 3 months? but at a cheaper price? or a higher price but no license ie you keep it?
[HD7 General] yly3:
Talking about keeping them, not getting deleted after my subscription expires.

5-6 GB limit in 3 months AND keep them, just like you would buy from Amazon or Beatport. It would also help against piracy I guess :)
[HD7 General] frontieruk:
working on an average of 70mb per album, that 5 gigs would be 71 albums, so what would you charge for that service?

And how would you feel as a user if the cost was say $30 and in the 3 months you only dl'd 1 album?
[HD7 General] phenixdragon:
Zune pass is a great idea, but my only hangup is that it is MP3 and not AAC. If it was AAC I would be all over it. Until than, buying CDs and ripping in iTunes is for me.
