Would it be possible to map it so that the volume keys work in their intended function when the home key is held?
[Nook Color Android Development] DebauchedSloth:
Can't see why not, but probably have to hack the source to do that. If Cyanogen were ported, wouldn't take long.

Buttons are pretty easily solved.
[Nook Color Android Development] DebauchedSloth:
One other data point, the partition structure of this device looks to be very similar - the same? - as other android devices.

I'm really short on time right now or I'd take a crack at getting Cyanogen up. Anyone else interested in hacking this?

Anyone already working on it?
[Nook Color Android Development] Malk3rs:
Has anybody been thinking about how to get audio input support? I would love to be able to make voice calls or use skype on this thing. I know there isn't a mic built in but might it be possible to input one? Via headphone jack USB ala myTouch or Wing, or possibly on the potential bluetooth the NC might be hiding? I have ordered one but I am in Ecuador until February so I can't help with it sitting in my house in the states 2000 miles away.
[Nook Color Android Development] pokey9000:
Maybe. I have a theory that some sort of audio is available on the proprietary jack. The floating voltage I see on 2 of the pins could be for mic phantom power. That's what this thread is for: hardware observations. Anyone else want to dig into it?
[Nook Color Android Development] occip:
more information about hardware

Hi,

I dig in kallsyms and i find 3 things :

The accelerometer is a kxtf9

The touchscreen is a cytts ( www dot cypress dot com/?rID=44238)

The board seems to be named "boxer"

We need the panel and backlight drivers (and few gpios) and we wiil able to build a kernel from scratch. Other hardware is pretty common with the omap3 platform.

More to come ...

[Nook Color Android Development] jhanford:
Interesting. I have the same GPU (OpenGL) information on my DroidX and yet the NC has "Frame buffers: unsupported" whereas its "supported" on DroidX.

Also noted that the Sensors section is fairly sparse (again in comparison to my DroidX)
[Nook Color Android Development] aludal:
It IS very interesting. If not to say scandalous. Unsupported Frame buffers may mean mediocre video playback and so-so UI snappiness (compared to what OpenMAX/Open GL ES 2.0 can offer when engaged in full.)

Obviously, the NC should be Cyanogened with the inclusion of all 2D/3D hardware accelerated drivers of Droid X/Droid 2, overclocked to 1....1.2 GHz ASAP.

Quadrant shows free ~100 MB out of ~500 MB, what is it? Must be B&N watchdogs protecting an NC user from using Amazon, Borders shops. Obviously, they don't work, so find and get rid of them, what are you guys waiting for? Do your local dump and clean your NC.

Framebuffer 'not supported' must be because exactly this reason: there's no memory allotment for FB big enough to keep several (4....16) fields/hires screens in cache for smooth hires video and UI transitions
[Nook Color Android Development] TheTodFather:
So why do you think BN would intentionally not use supported frame buffers?

Perhaps some of the reasons things are not optimize for performance is because they where trying to squeeze every ounce of battery life out of this? I thought that our cpu chip was designed for 1ghz, obviously not but my first thought was that this was designed as an ebook so like I said previous it is dumbed down for battery performance. So I would love to see, as all us, a ROM that will take advantage of all the potential. I'm most curious about what can be done with this cpu.
[Nook Color Android Development] wanderso:
Probably because there is no POP (package-on-package) DRAM to put them in.

After dig around with omap iplementation sites, this link look interesting. it appear that I ca not post URL link yet so here come the text.

[Nook Color Android Development] dahonda:
Update on poking in the dark for bluetooth driver.

So far I have compile the kernel using B&N release with bluetooth support and drop that kernel into the NC, it boot up but seem to be sluggish. However, even when the support for bluetooth is there but the hardware not available.

This lead to me from the new firmware.bin from Ti site into /system/etc/wifi to see if the NC will activate bluetooth hw from the firmware. the firmware is not working with NC, maybe the wireless tool that come with the NC customized for that specific NC firmware.bin Need to get more generic tools for activate wifi and BT

I have extract the raw internal disk and will overlay the kernel over that with tweek in rc.init to change the boot from internal drive to SD and will try again.

In one of the setting file in NC they do specify the BT control script to be /system/lib/firmware which follow the same guideline that Ti have. I have comb through the config file on NC and did not see any explicit setting that disable bluetooth, in fact they leave all those file default.
[Nook Color Android Development] pokey9000:
The TI BT is usually enabled by a GPIO. Did you build that in? How did you determine that the hardware wasn't available?
[Nook Color Android Development] dahonda:
I mean the bt hardware not activated. I did include GPIO and uart support in kernel compile.

If you run dmesg in the shell it show all the device get activated at kernel boot. Gpio layer is there but no detection of Bluetooth. I will post the output of dmesg with custom kernel for review here.

Touchscreen sensitivity when plugged into charger

I'm wondering if anyone has seen this? When plugged into the wall charger my NC touchscreen starts acting weird. The keyboard starts showing multiple keys for each touch, all around the key I wanted. I also noticed that hovering over the screen eventually triggers a touch event. It only happens when I use the wall charger and not with the USB plugged into the PC.

I tried recalibrating, and that seemed to help a bit, but the problem still happens.

Not sent from my rooted Nook Color, although I could have :D
[Nook Color Android Development] Homer_S_xda:
I am seeing the same issue. I have to unplug it from USB before attempting the keyboard or it's like "I'm typing with dead people,

very nimble

dead people."

[Nook Color Android Development] thetoady:
for those having trouble with the touch screen and wall charger, I bet you aren't using the nook's charger?

why? I have this issue with every capacitive screen item and crappy chargers, the screen goes nuts when plugged into them (my pre, my epic 4g in particular).

If it is the nook's charger, then its broken and should be replaced.
[Nook Color Android Development] ictguy78:
Yes!! It just happened one time while plugged into the stock nook charger. I unplugged and everything worked fine. That's the only time I've had a problem.
[Nook Color Android Development] Analias:
No, I was using the charger that came with NC. Not that it impresses me of being of any quality.
[Nook Color Android Development] KryptoNyte39:
I've purchased a couple NC's now, and one of them exhibits this issue. I was rumored to be the cable/charger. I gifted the second Nook Color but I did notice that it's USB cable has a white insert in the larger end. The faulty NC is using a cable with a black insert. So, black insert cable = bad NC, white insert cable = good NC (it would seem).

Additionally, the white insert USB cable seems to be more difficult to plug into the NC than the black one (at the small end of course).

Anyone have any additional insight?
[Nook Color Android Development] Analias:
I'm typing this while using my usb cable (with black insert) plugged into my wife's NC charger. I'm seeing no problems. I tested my own charger and the problem occurred again. I'm now convinced it my charger.
[Nook Color Android Development] iconoclastnet:
I've seen the problem with the touchscreen acting weird while charging too. (yes, with the official cable that came in the box.)

My Nexus one has the same problem, particularly if you're using it heavily while charging it at the same time (like using the gps with it in the car dock). The nexus also tends to be warm to the touch at the same time it has the touchscreen problems, although I can't say with any certainty whether the temperature is a cause or a symptom. Since we know that the wall wart charges at a much higher rate than charging from a regular usb connection, that would seem to corroborate the charging/temperature correlation.

Combined with the fact that the cord connection on the bottom makes the Nook slightly awkward to try and use while it's charging, I typically try to charge when I'm not actually using the device at the same time.
[Nook Color Android Development] KryptoNyte39:
So, I would imagine this has already been hashed somewhere around here, but these FCC documents:

https://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas...N&application_id=822397&fcc_id='XHHBNRV200-A'

have plenty of 802.11 testing, but I can't find any hint of 802.15 approval.
[Nook Color Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
Actually, that doesn't mean much. The HTC Droid incredible shipped initially with only 802.11G tested and certified, but 11n was uncovered and found to be working. Later, when Verizon released their 2.2 update which did turn on 11n, there was a revised FCC document released.

Basically, the device only has to get certified for what it will be using, not what its capabilities may be. There would be no reason to certify bluetooth if it isn't being used...
[Nook Color Android Development] spiicytuna:
FYI: bluetooth is said to be working in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=897934
[Nook Color Android Development] dadajack:
Actually, the droid incredible does not have n support. Check out the verizon page for it. The support evidently cannot be handled through a firmware update. If the hardware is not there, aka. the peripherals that handle the high speed communications, then software cannot do anything for it. I think.
[Nook Color Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
Wow.... aside from not being relevant, you are also wrong.

[Nook Color Android Development] sjwaste:
Has any progress been made on the FM radio? I've seen around here that the hardware is there. Is it just a matter of connecting an antenna to the PCB somewhere?

I'd really be willing to give that a shot if someone can give me some more detail. I am kicking around tearing down a NC to integrate as an in-dash head unit replacement. FM would be important to have in such an application!
[Nook Color Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
There is no antenna connection, thus there will never be FM tuning. Ever. Forget that you even have a chip that "supports" it, lest it keep bugging you.
[Nook Color Android Development] sjwaste:
If the hardware supports it, are there exposed dedicated leads on the chip package that would be used for the antenna? If those are there, soldering could be an option.
[Nook Color Android Development] DeadStiff:
It is a BGA chip so no.
[Nook Color Android Development] sjwaste:
Ah, ok. I couldn't find a datasheet and diagram for the specific chip, just for an OMAP+WL board that TI sells, where the antenna trace wasn't too hard to get to. Is there a pic of what I'd be looking for from a teardown?

Ok so I modified the the none bubble Mms.apk for froyo to allow 5mb and high quality (1920x2560) transfers. I'm able to send them fine and I know this cause my friend with an iphone can get them as I sent them.

however if she sends me a pic, my epic will download the high quality pic (700kb), but when I save it to the memory card its only (93kb) and 640x480...

Anyone know why this is?

Is it just a save issue or is the phone not really downloading the full 700kb it says it is?

Thanks...

never mind, I figured it out :)

Ok basically it was a settings issue within the app itself...

you need to go into the Mms settings and under "Custom User-Agent" select "Custom" then enter any name you want for the custom user agent... You might need to restart the messaging app, but I tested it and was able to save at full 2560x1920 :)...

I'm going to post the modded Mms as an update.zip in case anyone wants to use it...

It's only been tested on froyo.

you might need to clear the messaging data...

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nsaia:
Yes, when you install this rom it has a lagfix option already configured. So, after you flash the rom your phone will go through the motions of installing the suggested lagfix automatically. If you do not want this particular lagfix (or no lagfix at all) you can reboot into recovery and disable it or install the lagfix of your choice.

As a side note, you should post this question in the Axura thread in Android Development. I've flashed that rom and it's very good, but so are the many others chefs have developed. I encourage you to try several (at your own risk of course).
