r0man... in defense of skywalker... he was just talking about how he was a fascninate dev and was trying to get this rom working on the vibrant... which is actually a pretty awesome task... doing it in a way NO other vibrant dev has done.. .. making it able to download right through rom manager... to tailor the rom install (if i am not mistaken) to include exactly what you wish...

while i think the irc way is a little out of my way... whatever... its his way.. his rom... if you dont like it... dont be a part of it... why call names and such...

y

honestly.. IMHO.. its the negativity like yours that drives the real devs away from xda...
[Vibrant Android Development] r0man:
You're welcome ;)

Wow, your stupidity truly boggles the mind! Oh dear, where to begin...

Let us start with your grammar and capitalization. Now, no one here expects anyone else to adhere to the exact guidelines of the English language but for God's sake man, at least capitalize the first letter of the topic. If you don't, people will assume (quite truly) that you are about 13 years old and are attempting to get your 5 minutes of fame.

Next, making a topic in development trying to force people into your IRC channel is ridiculous. You provide NO details whatsoever. No developer in their right minds would consider making a thread about an upcoming project with absolutely no information.

So I decided to look at a thread you made over in the Fascinate forums, here is something you said in it: "Once our great Devs figure out how to..." I stopped reading right there. If you are going to create ROMs, know how to fix ****.

And finally, to your "2000+ line ROM Manager manifest" I could honestly have no less of an idea what you are babbling about.

Also, anyone who recommends ChatZilla should go die for you are the scum of technology lovers everywhere.

/thread :rolleyes:
[Vibrant Android Development] r0man:
Now, now. I am not an unreasonable or jealous person, and I believe you have a legitimate reason for calling me out like this. Let me explain, there are 2 kinds of "developers" that populate the XDA forums; developers (Cyan, Eugene, #TeamWhiskey) and WinZippers (everyone over in the themes section, the OP). The former category deserve much applause for their hardwork, and so do the themers in the latter category. The problem is when people from the second group believe they know anything about Android and decide to run off and "create" a ROM. This results in a legion of clone ROMs created with the Android Kitchen that have a different name and MAYBE a different color notification bar. It is sad and pathetic, and it has claimed the livelihood of the G1 developer forum.

First off I want to inform you that my username is not roman, it is r0man. With a zero. #justsayin :roll:

Anywho, that was a bit OT. I am not trolling anyone. I am simply trying to tell people not to waste their time with the OP's bull**** WinZippery. The *real* reason developers leave XDA is because people don't use the search feature which irks them to no end, not "straight up dickhead." My post count is irrelevant and I don't hide behind it so I can act like a pretentious ass, I just like to post a lot.
[Vibrant Android Development] fileboy22:
I have installed Chatzilla what do i Do next?
[Vibrant Android Development] texasrocket:
Well you are acting like a pretentious ass who likes to post alot. Why are you telling people not to waste their time? Maybe they don't think they are wasting their time. who are you to say that they are? If they want to go try out his rom let them. what does it have to do with you? It sounds to me like you are jealous with your nerd rage. it's pathetic.
[Vibrant Android Development] r0man:
What does "jealous with your nerd rage" even mean? That I am jealous of a WinZipper who probably doesn't even know how to compile from source? I think not.
[Vibrant Android Development] danr238:
Though this guy may not be the next JesusFreke or Cyanogen why give him a hard time. It seems he's adding more to the development than you are my friend.we have enough touch holes like you wondering around here. Either:

A. Contribute something development-wise to this forum

B. Create your own forum

C. Stop *****ing at people for trying to contribute what they can.

Stop being a **** just to be a ****. It's not very flattering buckeroo.

Just saying ;)
[Vibrant Android Development] sonofskywalker3:
god someone please delete this topic already. i did not mean to start a flame war. i asked earlier if anyone was interested in what i was offering, it seemed like they were, so i tried to get some people to test it for me in realtime. if i had a vibrant i'd do it myself like i do for the fascinate. but i don't. just trying to bring my idea to other phones. sorry i stepped on your toes. sorry for being a useless winzipper, but everybody's gotta start somewhere.
[Vibrant Android Development] r0man:
He's not contributing ANYTHING though! All he is doing is attention-whoring, and breaking the rules at the same time (projects without any details/screenshots/etc got jdkoreclipse banned).
[Vibrant Android Development] demo23019:
r0man quit being such an arrogant douche
[Vibrant Android Development] r0man:
I'm not being either I am simply being realistic.
[Vibrant Android Development] demo23019:
dude you are fighting and calling out the OP because he wants to share and contribute to this forum and anyone who has a different opinion than you on the subject.

Seriously i dont see why you would have so much rage towards someone who wants to give a little to the vibrant community
[Vibrant Android Development] blackerwater:
I got your back sonofskywalker. Lets see it. Don't mind the douchbags here. They seem to be all over at times. Hit me up ill test it

[Vibrant Android Development] r0man:
On what subject? I have to believe that you are trolling me because there is no subject to dispute. I am calling out the OP because he is an incompetent WinZipper who has absolutely no idea how to build a ROM or even modify something important.
[Vibrant Android Development] demo23019:

Wow...I hope r0man isn't representative of the vibrant forum.

Sad.

[Vibrant Android Development] Kubernetes:
And what are you doing, making constructive contributions to this board?

Jesus, get over yourself--no one gives a **** what you think is a "real dev." Is that some grand title that only applies to those whom you anoint?

This guy is trying to develop for the Vibrant and you're ****ting all over him, his thread, and all of us. What has he done to offend you? Asked for volunteers to try his rom? Wow, what a terrible crime.

Know why all the devs are leaving XDA? Because of jackholes like you who like to bully people for no good purpose.
[Vibrant Android Development] r0man:
As I said earlier, WinZippers CAN be good.

There have only been about 2 or 3 devs who have left XDA on boards I've been on. Stop being so dramatic.
[Vibrant Android Development] sonofskywalker3:
Glad to say he's not adrynalyne. Most everyone else has been quite nice.
[Vibrant Android Development] Kubernetes:
Christ, I'm so sick of this garbage about who is a real dev and who is not.

Does anyone here really care? I don't. I think that like most people all I really want to know is: Does it work well and do I like it. I do care that proper credit is given, but aside from that, what effin' difference does it make if a rom is made by a "real dev"?

(Tons of people here love Axura, even though some detractors might say Master's not a "real dev." Does any Axura user give a crap? All they care about is that it works great for them, and I'm all for that. XDA is about making our phones better, not about who is a real dev and who isn't.)
[Vibrant Android Development] Kubernetes:
Learn to read. I said "jackholes LIKE you" (emphasis added). Your kind of crap is what drives them away, petty garbage that just insults and upsets people. Who appointed you guardian of real devs and real development?

Sonofskywalker, please don't think this jerk is representative of the Vibrant board; I and many others would love to see what you've got going. I don't know if you're a "real dev" (har har), but if your work is good that's all that matters.
[Vibrant Android Development] blackerwater:
Any other irc we can use??

Sent from my vibrant
[Vibrant Android Development] r0man:
If you had actually read my posts you would have seen that I stated that devs that "aren't real" can still contribute great things to the community. I like Axura, it's a great ROM for people that don't care/have the time to customize a ROM to their own needs.

if you want one for your phone i'd suggest andchat or yaaic. both are free in the market.

on computer i'm not sure. i've used mirc and chatzilla and trillian, but i wouldn't recomend trillian to most people. it's overkill for irc
[Vibrant Android Development] Kubernetes:
I did read your posts. You started out by insulting this guy before you even knew who he was. Then you compounded you asinine commentary by insulting everyone you deem "not a real dev." Add in your pathetic grammar pedantry, and what you've shown is that you're a sad sack know-it-all who shoots off his mouth before his brain or good sense can intervene.

Why don't you wait until you've seen his work before insulting him? Or are you so certain you've got him and his work figured out that facts are superfluous? For all we know, his Rom will **** rainbows and print money.
[Vibrant Android Development] adrynalyne:
Ah, so you just decided to single the OP out to be a jackhole to.

Gotcha.
[Vibrant Android Development] oka1:
Roman is just jealous

Spoken by one of the wanne be's :p jealous

Damn The Skywalker dude just trying to hone his devs skills and improve the dev section and the more devs the better..........
[Vibrant Android Development] r0man:
I looked at his other ROMs on his forum and over in the Fascinate section, they were nothing special. Everything he did could be accomplished by someone moderately familiar with ADB in about 5 minutes.

You must have misread my earlier posts, kind sir, I specifically stated that WinZippers can be tremendous assets to the community. If you look over in the themes section for most Android phones you will find dozens of great, WinZipped ROMs with excellent themes that make Android far more of a pleasure to gaze at.

I'm not some baseless troll who decided to pick on some unknown dev, I've seen this exact scenario many times before on a variety of XDA forums. A user makes a thread with little or no details, gets people roused up, and then never is seen again. If the OP had followed the rules of XDA and posted details about his work and/or a screenshot I would have applauded him (unless it was just JK6 with an app removed, or something similar).

[Nook Color General] S300M:
Hi I have been trying to decide if I should by this myself by reading reviews and such but, I plan on rooting the device and installing different launchers and apps and I realize this completely changes the nature of the beast. If you could answer a few questions for me it would be greatly appreciated.

1. How fast/laggy is it. If I install launcherpro will it still work well.

2. How difficult is it to get movies encoded for it and how do they look.

3. Has anyone tried installing news apps for android (NY Times, BBC,CNN ext.) Also is netlix possible?

Thank you
[Nook Color General] jerrygon:
1. I tried Launcher Pro, ADW, and Zeal and there is no lag in any of them. I did settle on Zeal for now.

2. I have about 10 movies that I had encoded originally for my evo and they all play great! Just the simple settings in handbrake will work fine.

3. I have USA Today on there now as well as the engadget program and both work great. Haven't tried netflix, don't have a account.
[Nook Color General] S300M:
Thanks m8 thats actually a lot of helps a lot. IDK if netflix will work because of all the copyright and DRM but everything else sounds like good news to me. Now if only some could figure out how to get this thing to accept Adhoc networks from my cell phone that eould be great. If anybody else has something to add fell free to go right on ahead.
[Nook Color General] txskeets:
I actually tried Zeal and didnt like it. I had to put a bunch of icons down in the doc bar to get the doc launcher (the button with all the dots) in the middle where I like it....unless I missed something and dont know how to do it.
[Nook Color General] thereddog:
I have a huge library of HD (720p BD rips) and SD (DVD rips) movies and TV shows in AVI and MKV containers, will I be able to stream these video files within my home network? (without transcoding)
[Nook Color General] xwint3rxmut3x:
I'm glad there was already a post for this because I didn't want to create a new thread for it. I was one of the elocity a7 preorders who just had their orders cancelled. (all of us did, elocity insists it's a system error-I call BS) Anyhow i'm trying to decide between the nook color and the gtablet. I really wanted a tegra, but I really wanted a 7 inch device. I know they're not really the same thing, and maybe shouldn't be compared- but can anyone offer some insight as to which they personally prefer? Thanks.
[Nook Color General] jerrygon:
OMG don't get the viewsonic G Tab... I had it for 1 day and had to take it back. Absolutely the worst screen I have ever seen on a device. The worst viewing angles. The nook color is wayyyyy better in my honest opinion and is really fast enough.
[Nook Color General] xwint3rxmut3x:
Ok, cool. Thanks alot. I really wanted a tegra...but the NC is the form factor I wanted, and I read nothing but great things about the screen. Just wanted to hear from other geeks whether or not i'm going to end up making a huge performance sacrifice or not.
[Nook Color General] mhoepfin:
I had a gtablet too and it really was the worst, even rooted and running a special tegra kernel. The nook is amazing and nearly the perfect tablet for me.
[Nook Color General] califrag:
If you are asking yourself this question and seriously considering getting a nookColor, keep in mind that B&N has a deal that ends Sunday if you buy $100 in gift certificates you will get $10 back in gift cards (that are activated the day after christmas). I took advantage of this and bought $300 and got $30 in gift cards back which I'm going to use toward accessories (easel case I'm lookin@you). You may want to double check with your store but the manager at the store I went to allowed me to do this (after reading through the 'terms and conditions' on the website he said there was nothing that said it couldn't be done)

http://www.barnesandnoble.com/gift-card/index.asp?cds2Pid=32280

http://www.barnesandnoble.com/help/help_cds2.asp?PID=32063&popupclose=0

The terms say the gift card has to be bought on b&n.com, but the manager said the promotion was running in-store too so it didn't matter.
[Nook Color General] noodles12:
So the nookcolor, rooted, is a pretty decent slate/tablet?

I want the nookcolor mainly as a tablet: surfing the web, reading reddit, loading .pdf's of books/medical journals/textbooks to read and study from.

I was originally waiting for the archos 101 for $300.....but it seems like it's never going to come out.

The other thing is, since the nookcolor's screen is made for reading, will there be less eye-strain than with other tablets ( ipad,gtablet,archos 101?)
[Nook Color General] darx:
I was wondering this exact same thing, how does this fare as a cheap tablet?

I've done plenty of tweaking and modding with my nexus one so I'm no noob there - is this the deal of the century for someone like me? From what I've seen with a new launcher this thing turns into a serious galaxy tab competitor.

If anyone has any negatives they'd like to list please let me know - I'll probably be buying one of these in a few days.
[Nook Color General] noodles12:
We are two peas in a pod my friend.

The archos is only $50 more with HDMI,usb ,and a stand. But isn't available yet.

But if the NC screen is better for long-term reading....... who knows.

aaahhh.
[Nook Color General] Babis_ECE:
Hi everyone, I am seriously considering buying a Nook Color as I really like it's design (something important for me), and want a Tablet device. And at 250$ it sounds like a really good deal. (The Archos 101 here in Greece costs 330 euro -> 440$, so the Nook is considerably cheaper)

My main usage will be: Reading pdfs and watching some .ppt files (I am a senior electrical & computer engineer student and want the Nook for studying), some Web Browsing, and if it is able for some MSN messaging..

Also, I wanted to ask you if it is capable of doing something:

Let's say you are reading a .pdf on your Nook. Is it possible to "handwrite" anything on the .pdf, like you are writing on a piece of paper, and save the file? That would be extremely helpful when studying.

Is there any application that does this?

Thank you very much for your time and help.
[Nook Color General] zdrifter:
While the NC supplier (B&N and it's mfg'er) have a limited track record, the record of Archos is pretty clear ... roll out products that target the 'latest trend' with software that is usually not ready and move on to the next latest thing within a very short time leaving a trail of unsupported devices. If you can live with buying a new thing from Archos every 9-12 mos and knowing support will be GONE after that then go for it.

As said the Nook may not turn out better, but it can't be worse. It has an up-to-date system now, larger memory, better viewing for it's primary mission. (A70 just getting 2.2 and who know what bugs with it; A101 still not available, what does THAT tell you?)

If you want an android multimedia device then the Archos family may be a way to go, but evaluate it against multimedia devices since that is Archos' focus (assuming they have one), not reading and/or tablet functions.

Probably most people on this thread have reading as a primary, tablet second and entertainment third. The screen is really great, pdf reading is real good other than the swipe down instead of swipe sideways, with the Dolphin browser, root, su, multitouch what's not to like? ... did I mention the screen is great?
[Nook Color General] Babis_ECE:
Thank you for the very helpful info zdrifter.

Could you also answer this?

And something very important: Barnes & Noble doesn't ship NookColor internationally. Which eshop would you suggest so I can buy NC and the send it to me here in Greece? amazon.com perhpas? Is there another good eshop maybe?

Thank you for your time.
[Nook Color General] thereddog:
Can anyone answer this for me? Streaming from a Windows PC, of course.
[Nook Color General] noodles12:
is this possible on your phone? I'm asking to verify if you want to know if the hardware is capable or if you're looking for an android app that enables you to do it.
[Nook Color General] zdrifter:
Don't know of any android apps that allow document editing, however if I wanted to annotate a pdf doc, I would put it in my Calibre library, convert it to ePub, load it on the NookColor and annotate away ...;) .. Calibre is a free program and VERY useful for ereading.

As for foreign sales, don't know a thing ...
[Nook Color General] Bob_is_a_Droid:
Did you read the post from gtablet? There is a wifi suplicant file. I don't have a nook yet but will root and post.
[Nook Color General] Babis_ECE:
Thank you for your answer zdrifter, I will try Calibre, and hopefully find a way to get the Nook in a decent price..! :)
[Nook Color General] thereddog:
I use a Pre Plus actually. The Nook Color would be my first step into the Android arena.

So, I am asking two questions. Can the NC handle 720p MKV and AVI files, and is it possible to steam those files from a Windows PC on my home network?
[Nook Color General] dazzlet:
i really want to get an android tablet and i have been looking into the nook colour but i cant seem to find anywhere to buy from in the uk any suggestions?

i have been looking at the advent vega and also the archos 101 too

which would you guys recomend out of the 3 ?

i have done a lot of reading all over the net about them all ..... i know the nook needs to be rooted and the software changed to android for it to be a tablet to even compare with the others i chose but i still dont know which is the best tbh and i really value the opinions of fellow xda members.

many thanks
[Nook Color General] Bytion:
I am also looking for it in EU, that's why I come to this forum.

I guess the only option is online stores, amazon or ebay, but have to pay extra for that.

I've not used any android dev for years, but this tablet got my interested, still I wana to know how it's feel when surfing and video play back after rooted, cause it has such good screen and spec.
[Nook Color General] thereddog:
Please, can someone answer this for me?
[Nook Color General] go0nie:
I haven't seen on here anybody doing it. However, it might be possible. You could try to use a streaming app. I just googled and found AndroStream that has been used on Froyo devices. Not sure if it will work on the NC. If I have time tonight I'll look into using this app and see if it can do what you are asking.
[Nook Color General] thereddog:
Awesome, thanks!
[Nook Color General] mcp2009:
I'm wondering if I should get this too. Wanna use it for books and comic mainly and watching king of the hill. Was considering galaxy tab but too expensive and I only need wifi. Opinions on screen quality? Hopefully it gets flash

I have the NC, Archos 70, and VS tablet right now, and the color is by far the best screen.

The VS device lasted all of an hour before I decided that I am returning it tomorrow, it is that bad even with custom roms. The screen is bad, the unit is heavy, and I decided the 7 inch size is my favorite.

The Archos running froyo is very buggy, only has 256mb of ram, and has wifi issues at this point and feels like I could break it by looking at it too hard.

The color is the best display, has plenty of ram, and feels very solid. We just need a good rom and it should fly!
[Nook Color General] BertoJG:
Forgot to add you can get 2 years accidental insurance from bn for the device!
[Nook Color General] go0nie:
So I tried this tonight with the AndroVLC media server (running on the host computer) and the AndroStream app on the NOOKcolor. I only had SD files handy to check out. I am happy to say that this worked perfectly over my wifi. I was using the free version of AndroStream so only could view 2 minutes, but it only buffered one time and didn't hang up at all. I am downloading an HD file to try, maybe tomorrow night. I was also able to stream .mp4 files, but not .wmv files. The AndroStream app was very simple and quite fast to navigate to your media files on the PC. Overall, highly successful since these files get to be rather large to store on the device. I did a comparison using the file in RockPlayer and it is better/smoother, but it uses a lot of memory on the SD card. Streaming looks to be the way I will be using my NC as a mini portable Movie Player for at my house.

EDIT: This morning I tried a .mkv 720P video file, but it did not work. The file format did not seem to be accepted. Since we are viewing on a 7" screen I don't think this to really be an issue as I am good using Xvid AVI files. The only issue I ran into is that the movies go full screen and I wasn't able to get out of them easily. I have SoftKeys installed and hitting the nook button took me back to the home screen while using the AndroStream software.
