Totally awesome!!! FBreader (my favorite way to read ebooks) works fabulously now - I hate being constrained to black and white to read.

I got an NC because I really needed an ebook reader...both my Visor and my Ipaq died :( and I'd been reading using FBreader on my netbook, but this is sooo perfect :D
[Nook Color General] sepffuzzball:
Yeah, that works quite amazingly! Thanks for posting!
[Nook Color General] jasoraso:
Thanks for this tip! I have re-mapped my volume up to MENU and the Volume Down to BACK. Aldiko works great now!!!
[Nook Color General] sapienta:
Work great. Thanks so much.
[Nook Color General] buffnutz1:
So once you do this, how do you change your volume?

Would someone please pastebin these two files?

/system/usr/keylayout/TWL4030_Keypad.kl

/system/usr/keylayout/omap_twl4030keypad.kl

I messed up, and I'd like a known-good state to start from again.
[Nook Color General] pezhore:
So due to SoftKeys this isn't really necessary anymore... but I forget which lines I changed to menu and back...

What I have:

key 158 BACK WAKE_DROPPED

key 14 BACK WAKE_DROPPED

key 229 MENU WAKE_DROPPED

key 139 MENU WAKE_DROPPED

key 59 MENU WAKE_DROPPED

Since there isn't a back or menu button, I'm guessing just changing all BACKs to VOLUME_UP and all MENUs to VOLUME_DOWN would be sufficient, but I'm not sure... any ideas?
[Nook Color General] methfan:
i remapped both buttons, works great, thanks!

now I noticed that the default NC Screen Capture function doesn't work ( hold down "n" + "vol down" buttons at the same time )

has anyone figured out a way to re-mapp this functionality?

i don't use it often, so is it just a trade off I'll have to live with?
[Nook Color General] 1254:
Possible using Root Explorer?

Would this be possible to do without ADB? Instead using root explorer?

Simply replace the text files:

key 115 VOLUME_UP to key 115 MENU

and

key 114 VOLUME_DOWN to key 114 BACK

Or do the ADB commands actually replace more in the file than that?

Thanks
[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
I am sure I've seen an app on the market which lets you remap buttons to other functions, but I sure can't find it now.

It'd be really nice to have Back/Menu AND Vol +/- available via long presses.
[Nook Color General] levytator:
Awesome! Thanks. I also replaced the VOLUME_UP with BACK.

Would be great to have a widget to toggle back and forth between volume control and back/menu control with the hard keys! Anybody?
[Nook Color General] >DARKMAN<:
It is much easier and faster to just use root explorer to modify the lines in

system/usr/keylayout/TWL4030_Keypad.kl

change 114 to MENU

change 115 to BACK

Reboot.

Done.

To revert back just rename 115 to VOLUME_UP and 114 to VOLUME_DOWN

[Nook Color General] theend_kys:
Cant change those buttons.

My nook color firmware is 1.4.2 (manual noot). I Cant change those buttons.

I change "VOLUME UP" to "MENU", "VOLUME DOWN" to "BACK" save, reboot. After reboot, VOL+ and VOL- buttons are not working anymore. :confused:

Please help me solve that problem. Change those buttons is important for me. Thanks for reading.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] aCx85:
Hey guys Im having a problem...

I rooted via r4 root no problem there. then I flashed UGJK3

everything went very well. worked for 3 days.

Now problem is I turn on phone it goes to the Black Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000 screen and doesnt move. It does switch between GT-i9000m at first to GT-i9000 without the M.

I try to go into recovery and check the SD card but says there no files there.

What should I do to fix this?

Everything worked great like I said for 3 days....

Sldo I cant seem to get into Recovery all the time..... Im used to a HTC Desire and its Volume - and power... doesnt seem to work. I tried volume + home and power... not sure what this does or what but think it got me into recovery.

thanks for any help.

I have no idea but would like to find out. Also the z4root or anything by ryanza is not available. Does anyone have the file downloaded thay they could send via email or know of a website to get the oclf???

but thats 2.1 only, dose not work on froyo
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rpicaso:
EDIT: Sorry, this is not the root that requires a kernel swap. this one is just a pain in the a*#!

Give it a day or two, if the OCLF or Z4 don't show back up you could always try THIS

However, be advised - it does require a kernel swap.
[Epic 4G General] ogrillion:
Not sure what it was, but I got a system update message on my phone. It wasn't like the voicemail one it didn't say what it was for.

So I clicked install or whatever, it rebooted and went to like the rom installer screen (black white letters, installing system packages)

I get back into android and it doesn't look like anything is different, however I went into settings and a message popped up saying I needed to charge the battery before the phone could finish upgrading.

Anyways I am new around here, first android phone. I was rooted installed 2.2 froyo, had a few bugs and went back to stock and thats when the system update prompted me.

Anyone else get it?

Didn't show up for me after checking...hmm..
[Epic 4G General] flash_c4:
Did you check and see if anything is different now under "About phone"?
[Epic 4G General] ogrillion:
No everything looks the same, and if I go to try to update the firmware or anything it stays I am up to date.

Really strange, it definitely seemed like it installed some system files. It looked like when you flash a custom rom through clockwork and see like unpacking /system etc etc.

Charged my battery up more and rebooted a couple times and doesn't say anything about an update anymore. *Shrug*

Whoever sees it next should open up a terminal or adb in and go into /cache and pull out a copy of the zipfile that's there to see what it is.

The market doesn't typically update like this. I think the market has its own method of updating...can't remember what the process is to force one.
[Nexus One General] Old MuckenMire:
I've been one of those that have ALWAYS had terrible battery life with my Nexus. Even using SetCPU and Juicedefender, it would drain horribly, even while it was asleep. I've had three different stock HTC batteries and also used the Seido 1600 mAh, none of which made any difference.

I finally decided to try an extended battery, if for no other reason than to simply get a little more juice so maybe my battery would last longer than 6-9 hours. I figured I could always return it anyway. The only way I have ever gotten 12 hours out of a battery is to not use the device hardly at all. I went with the Mugen 3200 mAh extended battery because the Seido 3200 mAh has a battery door that does not seal the device so dust can get in. I might have tried Amzer but I didn't know they existed until after I bought the Mugen. All I know is that I am freaking THRILLED. Right now, I am sitting at 82% and I have been unplugged for 7 hours and 55 minutes!! I'm still only on my third cycle!!! Yesterday I was at 55% after 18 hours of use when I finally started a new charge cycle. I'm talking normal-to slightly heavy use...I even streamed two episodes of Seinfeld from TBS.com.

I'm posting this for those that are at their wit's end over battery life on their Nexus One. I swear I always thought the Nexus One was defective when it came to battery life. Now I know I have always had crappy batteries.

This is in no way an advertisement for Mugen..I have not been paid or given a discount, or been asked to post a glowing review...I'm just so happy about the Mugen working beyond my expectations. On top of this: I managed to break one of the pegs on the extended battery door they sent which makes it a little loose. I contacted them and before they even replied they started shipping me a new one at no charge! :)

Anyway, if you are having the same issues as I have been I would suggest a 3200 MAH extended battery. Either Mugen or you can try Amzer. I personally would not get the Seido based on their battery door not being sealed with the potential to let dust in, and the fact that my experience with their 1600 mAh battery was so bad. I'll personally always go with Mugen from here on out based on performance + customer service. If something goes wrong I already know they will take care of it one way or another.

Remember the drawbacks tho: slightly larger profile due to larger size battery and door, cases will not fit device any longer, and it will not fit in car dock any longer. In my case I have put a stock battery and original OEM battery cover in my car so if I want to use the car dock I can just switch batteries and back covers.:)

Anyway I hope this helps someone find peace with battery life. It's been driving me up the wall for almost a freaking year now. I never dreamed I could get this kind of battery life out of my Nexus One. So nice to be able to stop checking battery status all the time.

Okay here they are guys, I have two Nexus Ones so I used one of the to take the pics, unfortunately I cannot do a side by side of the two Nexus Ones because I need one to take the pics as I do not have any other camera:

With extended cover:

And finally, the broken peg on the extended door which I broke and Mugen are replacing for free(it's the peg on the top):
[Nexus One General] Old MuckenMire:
sorry the pics are so big I don't usually do this but I suppose it might help that they are big. If you want more info or pics just ask. hope this helps. Tomorrow I will post a pic showing how long the device has been unplugged with the remaining battery percentage in the status bar at the same time to prove my claims. :) I cannot do it now since I pulled the Mugen to take the pics. I should have done that pic first, then pulled the Mugen.

I just want folks who are in my same position to know there IS a solution, albeit with drawbacks such as not being able to use a case. I have to admit tho: I don't miss any of my cases. The Nexus with this extended back feels great in my hand. The only real drawback for me is the risk of dropping it without the case to protect it. I'm just being more careful and FINALLY enjoying great battery life.

One more thing: this is all done with display brightness at 100% 24-7. I do not like using any other brightness setting so if you choose to use an energy saving brightness setting, your results should be even better. I do however still use setCPU to downclock to 245 while screen is off, and juicedefender with various settings.
[Nexus One General] earlyberd:
...What?

Maybe I'm the only one this has ever happened to, but whenever I check my battery usage statistics in the default Settings app, Display is listed as the absolute biggest battery hog, by a ratio of at least 2:1 compared to the next highest component on the list. I'm talking like a consistent 60% or more of my battery drain is attributed to the display, and this is even when I have my display set to automatic brightness 24-7. Even if I overclock my CPU to 1152mhz, turn on Bluetooth and GPS, and play games until my battery is almost dead, the display still racks up the highest amount of battery drain.

I hate to dismiss your claims as unscientific, but did you ever think to check your battery usage statistics? Did you ever figure that maybe you could be killing your battery life by leaving the screen on max brightness?

If I leave my phone on automatic brightness, I get a good 15 hours of battery life with moderate usage throughout the day. If I put it on max brightness, I go down to about 6 hours of battery life. Weird, huh?
[Nexus One General] Old MuckenMire:
Uh, yeah, no kidding the display brightness kills battery...but I do not like turning down the brightness at all, it hides that beautiful display. Besides don't you think that over the course of a YEAR I tried turning down the brightness?? Sure it saved SOME battery, but not enough to matter...maybe two hours extra which is not even close to being enough for me to justify turning it down. I have two Nexus Ones and have tried the turning down the brightness trick on both and the battery savings is minimal. No-matter how much I turn down the brightness, the display is ALWAYS listed as the biggest battery hog(unless I use the phone for calls a BUNCH that day)

and I never claimed any of this was scientific. Try a 3200 mAh battery or don't, I don't care...I'm just posting my results. To me getting 18 hours out of a battery and not even being at 50% yet is a huge difference...far better than turning down the brightness.

But again these are my results and I cannot PROMISE anyone else will see the same thing. Can't hurt to try and just return it if it doesn't work out. God knows I tried everything else over the course of a year.

If you want to fault me, I guess I shouldn't have said "there IS" a solution since I cannot promise this result for everyone or anyone but myself.
[Nexus One General] Mokurex:
well the battery is double the capacity of the stock one, why would you be surprised that you get so much battery life? I'd be surprised if it doesn't.
[Nexus One General] Old MuckenMire:
Because i'm getting FAR better than double battery life. If I had gone from 9-12>>>>>18-24, I wouldn't have even made this post. But I have gone from 9-12(oftentimes 6-9 with heavy Flash use)>>>>>>>over 40 hours with normal to heavy use, even streaming Flash episodes and movies.

This is not for the normal person with pretty good Nexus battery life: this post was/is for people like me who have been frustrated by people posting that they get all kinds of great battery life from their Nexus but are never able to get it themselves. I finally got it for myself. :)

hell I saw a video review by some kid of this Mugen battery and he said he thought it was great but was giving it away because he already gets great battery life on his Nexus ....that pissed me off right there. I was like what the hell???

here it is:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AzSm2fBOBFQ

so yeah I'm excited to finally have great battery life myself and thought I would pass it along as a possible solution for others :)
[Nexus One General] earlyberd:
Your original problem wasn't that your stock battery was bad, it was that you kept your screen brightness too high to be suitable for daily usage. Proposing that the only working solution for yourself was to buy an extended battery is very misleading, because really all you had to do was turn down the display brightness, and make sure to turn off unnecessary services like GPS, Bluetooth, etc.

Furthermore, your solution, which is to outfit the Nexus One with the Mugen extended battery, costs $80, while it costs absolutely nothing to simply press a button and save your battery by turning things off and dimming the screen.

It's fine if you want to buy an extended battery so you can blast your display, but it's not the only solution, and is possibly the worst in terms of cost-effectiveness. Anybody at their wit's end about their battery life should try everything else first, and only then when they are completely dissatisfied with the way the screen looks, the lack of available services, or the lack of speed in processing, should they consider purchasing an extra battery.
[Nexus One General] Old MuckenMire:
dude I already told you that turning brightness all the way down only netted me about two hours more battery life using stock battery. And thanks for quoting my post about being at "wit's end"...by definition if you are at your wit's end you have already tried everything else.

is this the best you can do or are you just argumentative tonight??:D

I fully stand by everything I have written :)

and for the record, turning off GPS, turning down brightness, turning off bluetooth, etc.., is not a REAL solution, unless you consider crippling your device to keep it powered a solution, which apparently you do. :(

Maybe I should just turn the whole device off.... then I'll get weeks and weeks of battery life.
[Nexus One General] android01:
Thanks for taking the time to post pics. I too use my display at 100% bright and love the effect. I have a spare battery i use and a charging dock ( not oem ) and i get by doing it that way and can make it abotu 12 hours before i have to reload the other battery ( stock battery )

I had a mugen on my g1 and it was an awesome addon. However, the otterbox defender im using now wont fit a modded case, so this was the best solution for me.

i think we all are great to find solutions. Even if different ones. One thing i did find with the "fat phone" was that it felt better in my large hands and was more comfortable to type on.

Make sure to post a follow up to this with final thoughts on the battery . and thanks again for tits
[Nexus One General] Old MuckenMire:
No problem man, and I agree with you about us each finding our own solution.:) After I get done cycling it two more times(per instructions) I will post final results. I have to admit I do fear it losing capacity...almost like I can't believe these results will be maintained. My worst fear is that in a couple weeks things will start going downhill again. If it does go downhill later I will report that, too.
[Nexus One General] teh_lorax:
Good to know. When I see these threads I wonder what I'm missing with my phone, cause I get 2-3 days with my battery. I must be missing out on something cool.
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
I can get that with mobile data turned off, but when it's contatly syncing 3 email accounts, facebook, twitter, news, weather etc over 3G, I kind of expect it to take a hit.
[Nexus One General] khaytsus:
Except it's not.. All of these third party extended batteries are 75-80% of their stated capacity. Therefore his battery is at best 83% larger.

http://batteryboss.org/ says that Mugen 3200 are 75% of their rated capacity, therefore more like 71% more capacity than the stock battery.

To me this sounds like your stock battery is defective.. You ever tried replacing it? Try this, I bookmarked it a few days ago just in case..

Bottom line is, opinions are like assholes, and if the thing is working for you than F what they think about it. Thats the beauty of being an individual, you get to do whatever the f you want regardless of what others think about it. and as for the battery boss results, yeah ive read them and theres a good chance they are right. but whens the last time you bought a hard drive that actually was its stated capacity. ...

How about not burning your retinas off... does that factor into your decision at all? Maybe your phone is different than mine, but at full brightness, it's annoying to look at. Waaaay too bright.
[Nexus One General] Old MuckenMire:
No, burning my retinas does not factor into my decision to use 100% brightness on my Nexus. But then, I'm not an idiot, nor do I have such sensitive eyes.
[Nexus One General] Old MuckenMire:
Glad to hear your Mugen is still going strong!! Makes me feel better about mine being a long-term solution.

Honestly, I can understand some skepticism from folks though. The battery does cost 80 bucks and I can see people thinking I'm just pushing a product or being a fanboy. XDA always has a healthy dose of skepticism about most anything, but that is one of the things that makes this place worth returning to and hanging out at.

Like I said before, truthfully, if I were not personally experiencing this, I would be skeptical myself. :) Again tho, thanks for posting your experience!

[Nexus One General] khaytsus:
Wow.. Just...... Wow. F this and F that if someone brings up that a battery is 75% of its claimed size? You must live a stress-free life.

And FYI, hard drive sizes are in bits, ie: 1000 not 1024. Plus there's space for sectors that go bad, and probably some negligible amount of data on the drive that is not available for use.

I googled for you: http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1347640
[Nexus One General] gotwake424:
,No. 1024 is correct. See memory is counted in binary on and off, 0 and 1 , 5v or 0v for digital electronics.

So you count like 2,4,8,16,32,64,128,512,1024,2048- and so on. Ever wondered why ssd drives and other flash memory are label with this number sequence?

BTW someone in that forum you linked even stated this, like 3 rd post down....
[Nexus One General] :
no hes right. if you buy a 500 gigabyte hdd, its 1000. Windows offers the binary definition (gibibyte/gigbyte as in GiB) which is 1024

what is your problem? everything earlyberd said is absolutely correct. just because you like to kill you battery by turning everything on even when you dont need it is your choice. you dont speak for others. no phone will give you get battery life if you dont want to make sacrifices. earlyberd is offering advice for those who have problems with battery life that is actually practical. while you find disabling things like bluetooth "crippling," doubling the size of a phone might be crippling for someone else.

another way to get weeks of battery life is to wire a car battery to match the voltages required by the nexus and hook it up to that.
