Well, for all possible reasons you could have given, this is really not the best. Why? The Nook is even more locked down and limited than the iPad. Hell, you cannot even install applications ("extras") officially. You cannot even put your sideloaded books on your home screen.

The NC became interesting when it got rooted, but then again the iPad can be jailbroken as well and has a lot more functionality from the get go even in its locked down state.

Now keep in mind, that people who mistake your NC for an iPad won't be rooting or jailbreaking their devices. For those people the NC does not come anywhere close to the iPad when it comes to actual functionality (without rooting or jailbreaking).

These would have been some valid reasons for buying the NC:

The NC is only $250.

It's more compact than the iPad.

It runs Android, you like Android and you will be able to load Android apps on it when B&N open their app market or now if you root.

Please, I like Android, and I like my NC, but this Android fanboyism is no better than the Apple kind, especially if it's this misguided: Out of the box the NC is a lot more locked down than the iPad. B&N don't want this to be a full-fledged tablet and they will strictly control their app market once it's launched. Rooted nooks cannot access many B&N in-store feature (see thread in this forum), and surely we'll lose root during the next update, which might not even ask your permission to be applied (also from another thread and data analysis on the "firmware over the air" entries in database files on the device, which are set to automatic update.)

So in effect you were saying: "I don't buy locked down apple ****! Instead I'm buying locked down Barnes and Noble products."
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goosefraba91:
Alright, so I updated my phone when the first OTA update was released, and it installed successfully no problems. After this I got into rooting my phone so that I could get rid of the AT&T crapware, use launcher pro, and enable sideloading for apps. I thought that I would check for another update since rumors were swirling about 2.2, and to my surprise it detected a package to download. I was able to download it, however it wouldn't finish installing on the phone and said that it could not be installed. Thinking that this was due to my root, I used Odin to flash back to stock and retry the install, and it still didn't work. So, after that I reverted back to the root, and decided to go and check the firmware and baseband version What is confusing to me is that for "firmware version" it says that I have "2.1-update1", but my baseband version still says "1897UCJF6" instead of "JH7". Now when I try to install whatever supposed update that is available, it downloads and then gets stuck at 50% in the progress bar when trying to install. So I guess my question is, should I be worried about this? Is this the current version, and does it just say "JF6" because of my root? Also, will I need to unroot if I want to install the 2.2 update whenever it comes out?

I apologize for the novel, I'm just trying to be as informative about my situation as possible. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] curti.nogg:
JF6 is the stock firmware and JH7 was the ota update.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goosefraba91:
Alright thanks, but why is my phone still displaying "2.1-update1" if I still have the stock firmware? Is it because of the root that it is displaying JF6 instead of JH7?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
JH7 was also considered 2.1-update1

there is not an official 2.2 yet
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goosefraba91:
Okay well thanks, I think I'm about to just flash to a 2.2 ROM, I'm tired of waiting on samsung for 2.2

I'd like to discuss the relative features and benefits of the home replacement apps.

I will give my impressions here.

Launcher Pro seems to work well

Pros:

. Configirable number of rows and columns on the home screen

. Multiple "screens" of bottom bars seperate from Hoome "workspace"

Cons:

. Wallpaper sizing

. bug when resizing widgets...seems to hang...must restart

Home++ is also a good option

Pros:

. Confifurable sliding bottom panel.

. Free

? Does it have xconfigurable rows and Columns?

ADW is very popular

I don't know anything about it...please give yoyr impressions.

Sweeterhome dos not install

Zeam

Pros:

. Configurable number of rows and columns on "workspace"

. widget sizing is easy to understand

. configurable bottom bar (remove all you want)

Cons:

. Still having Wallpaper sizing issue

Edits : 12/10 : updated Launcher Pro...added Zeam
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] modembug:
ADW is my fav so far on the nook color... I was using launcher pro at first but not being ble to remove the worthless phone button irked me...

ZEAM without a doubt. I tried them all but ZEAM diffidently works best on the Nook Color!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] norkoastal:
You forgot to add that on Launcher Pro (Plus) you can have scrollable widgets (bookmark, facebook, calendar (view only) etc., and can resize widgets (doesn't work as well as on Evo).
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] devis:
I'm on the Zeam train as well. Nice, simple and clean. Like the Mac style bottom tray. Too bad not all widgets work with it but it's OK. I like clean screens anyway.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] zdrifter:
Another Zeam fan ... works great with no problems encountered so far .....
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] pstein2:
Zeam ftw, It's nice and simple, doesn't have anything I don't need.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Bandage:
Try desktop visualizer with any of the mntioned launchers...you get tons more options for homescreen editing. Multiple resizing of widgets, etc. I've used it forever on my Galaxy S Vibrant, and it works great with my Nook as well.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] johnopsec:
Go into landscape mode to set wallpaper. Works great.

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] go0nie:
For all you guys using Zeam. I tried it in conjunction with SoftKeys and I have one issue. After installing and setting up and after a reboot (very important because it works initially, but not after rebooting) My return to book icon in the notification window stops working. I could fix this with a link to the "reader" on the homescreen, but can't figure out how to do that. Do you have this issue? I don't have it with Softkeys by itself, only with a launcher. I want widgets, but since I use this primarily for reading I am stuck with the Nook Launcher and Softkeys.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] discourse:
I have the same problem with Launcher Pro. I am unable to return to what I was reading in my Nook reader from the icon. I still use the Nook primarily as a reading device for Nook Books using the default reader.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] et303:
Cannot add shortcuts

I've tried both Zeam and LauncherPro, and am experiencing a similar problem with both apps:

Adding a short-cut to the home screen doesn't work.

I hold-press on a home screen, choose "Shortcuts" from the "Add to Home Screen" dialog..

The app seems to close and restart itself (eg, wallpaper goes blank for a sec and re-appears).

Adding Widgets/etc works.. Just shortcuts are broken.

Anyone else experiencing this problem? Any ideas?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Geezer Squid:
What I found that works on Launcher Pro is the following:

1. Go to the screen on which you want to place the app,

2. Open the app drawer

3. Press and hold the app you want to add to the screen

4. Focus will go back to the screen and you can drag the new icon to the screen location you want.

Good luck.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] CrazyMonkeyBen:
I have the same issue from every home replacement I have tried, which includes ADW, LauncherPro, Home+++, and others.

It appears from the logs that there is a missing activity... Here are my best guess at the relavent log lines, but since I don't have another, working android device to compare I can't really be sure. I hope this is helpful to someone:

I/ActivityManager( 835): Starting activity: Intent { act=android.intent.action.PICK_ACTIVITY (has extras) }

D/AndroidRuntime( 2663): Shutting down VM

W/dalvikvm( 2663): threadid=3: thread exiting with uncaught exception (group=0x4001b170)

E/AndroidRuntime( 2663): Uncaught handler: thread main exiting due to uncaught exception

E/AndroidRuntime( 2663): android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: No Activity found to handle Intent { act=android.intent.action.PICK_ACTIVITY (has extras) }
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] CrazyMonkeyBen:
You have to relaunch the B&N "Home" app, and have it running in the BG, then your resume book button will work again. But, if "Home" isn't your home, it seams that eventually it dies silently and then the button stops working again.

I use the Home Switcher app to launch Home without actually making it the default home app.

I don't believe this has anything to do with SoftKeys.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] edychen:
Is there any way to change the buttons on Launcherpro? Whenever I selected change shortcut on the useless phone button, it opens a blank screen and then closes.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Mikroft:
Not that I know of. Makes me wonder why so many ppl are still using launcher pro even if those useless icons are always in the dock. Go with ADW Launcher instead.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] mrschmitz:
I've seen screen shots of people with different launcherpro dock icons (on the Nook Color), so it has to work somehow. I'm having the same problem and it's driving me nuts.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] madfatter:
I think it is missing an application selector, I have found it does the same thing in other palces where i would select an application.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] mrschmitz:
I figured out how to remove the useless dock icons from LauncherPro!

Just make a backup of a launcher pro home screen, from another android device, without any dock icons, or with the ones you want. Copy the "/sdcard/launcherpro_backup" directory from your other device onto your Nook Color (into the same place on the SD card), and restore launcher pro from the backup.

Here is a backup of my blank launcher pro setup:

dl.dropbox.com/u/5532080/launcherprocleanbackup.zip

(I can't make links yet, so just copy/paste the URL...)

I will probably start a new thread with this info...seems like something a lot of people would like to have?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] daytrippin1984:
Hello everyone. I have been working with android for a 6 months now and still cannot figure out what im doing wrong to get my permissions to work correctly. I have installed ADB and successfully rooted my MT3G Slide. I have been trying lately to figure out why i cannot manually configure A2SD. I have gone through both ADB Shell and Terminal under Su to try to mkdir /system/apps but it will give me a problem like my system is not allowing me to rewrite or its copy protected. I have tried to remount and it claims its successful. Another symptom i experience is not being able functionally use the rom manager or restart in clockwork recovery after i have flashed a rom. I always have to wipe the devices before i can loop hack back into clockwork mode. I have tried to fix permissions and restart in recovery through rom manager and it just brings up a question mark ontop of an image of a phone. I have been trying most recently to move a file through terminal to another name and replace the old with a new of the same name. It says the directory is not empty when i try to modify this file. So Anyone think they might know a solutions to these issues or hopefully all of them in one simple problem i cant seem to figure out.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] yeaa:
download & install 'root explorer' for your phone from the android market (or your Pc, and put it on your phone) , grant it superuser permissions from superuser on your phone, open it up, and there's an option to make the phones memory R/W. (Its R/O as default which may be why your having permission issues)

Saying that Im yet to figure out adb's permissions fully..

Be careful with root explorer though, its a very intrusive programme which can screw up everything
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] daytrippin1984:
Root explorer cost money... is there another program that allows me the same option. I have been using astro file manager, any way to do it on that one?
[Android Themes] blingchopr:
any themes yet with black notification bar for the droid pro. preferably using stock rom. im rooted but i really only want the black notification bar.

Hi all,

i recently flashed Xkan's Rom GER (newest Version) on my X1, and now realized that the hardware volume buttons are mapped to scroll function. There's no way to change volume, either in-call nor the ringing volume. Any help/hint/tip for that? I found no key remapper software in the software-list. Possible to change this directly in the registry?

Thanx in advance!

If you download Skyfire browser you can watch video on Justin.tv. It hasn't worked for me on hulu yet. Let me know what other flash types of video you can now view that you couldn't before. This is big for me cause that's 1 of my main reasons for wanting flash on a mobile phone, to watch ppl stream on justin.tv and other sites. I hope this helps ppl as i just found this out today and haven't seen any threads about it.
[HTC Aria General] dcarr622:
Without official Flash 10.1, what we can do is limited (although we actually have decent Flash Lite from HTC). IMO Skyfire is a hacky sollution but works in a pinch. I used to use it back on WinMo but they killed that off and I've only used it once on Android.

It's really a shame we don't have Flash 10.1 just for political reasons. Our phone has more RAM and an equal or better chip than the OG Droid, and that phone get's Flash but we don't!
[HTC Aria General] drumist:
There's nothing "political" about why Flash is not supported on the Aria. The CPU used in the Droid (TI OMAP 3430) supports the ARMv7 instruction set. The CPU used in the Aria (Qualcomm MSM7227) does not. Flash requires ARMv7 support.

In short, the Aria's CPU is inferior to the Droid's.
[Nexus S General] marvi0:
Am really struggling to make a decision on which phone to get between these 2 . The desire hd following on from the origional desire has got an 8 megapixel camera, screen looks bigger but then would have to wait for ages to get updates when google releases them. So i just don't know what you guys reckon between these two great phones?, i just can't decide .
[Nexus S General] BlueScreenJunky:
Go with the Nexus S.

The Desire HD has a big screen but it sounds like it doesn't look as good as the G2 screen or the Galaxy S. Besides, with the NS you'll have the updates first and probably a better community support.

I think the really hard choice is between the G2 (physical keyboard, better construction, good screen) and the Nexus S... But if you're hesitating between Desire HD and Nexus S take the Nexus S.
[Nexus S General] alex9898:
I think DHD is better because :

- 720p videos recording

- 8Mpx Camera with dual LED flash

- Micro SD slot

- Radio FM

- Notification LED

- Native support of Xvid and Avi

- Dolby Mobile and SRS WOW

- DLNA

- No PenTile Matrix

- Better support for audio formats

- Body in aluminium

- New Sense

- HTC Locations

- HTCsense.com

- 768 MB of RAM

- Fastboot

But maybe i'm wrong.

The only thing i regret in the DHD is that it hasn't front camera.
[Nexus S General] prcach:
today i had a chance to compare my galaxy s and dhd, but anyway few things that are for sure better on ns

- screen - slc on dhd is good, but cant compare at all with samoled, period.

- audio quality is pathetic on dhd

- 8mpx camera is plain average, if not worse than that

- no gorilla glass and body has camera part cose of which u cant normaly place phone on anything without thinking that it will be scratched

im rly lazy to white all that down, but sgS is better than dhd, and nS is just one step ahead at least
[Nexus S General] suhas_sm:
DHD has everything. But question is does it deliver on all fronts. No.

According to most of the users. Its External speakers suck, Battery is pathetic. U vl have have to cut the functionality of most the things given to get through the day. Whats the use of having them if u cant use them. Camera is okayish. And many issues related to fittings. Also you would playing much much more than what you would be for Nexus S.

Nexus S has few things. But mostly all needed things. Good battery and with googles backing I think whatever is there on the phone should work flawlessly :)
[Nexus S General] Fisherman619:
Q.... Is the MT4G not a worthy competitor??? Seems to me like the MT4G has all the same things the Nexus S has + what everyone is complaining it doesn't have (now). HSPA+, Expandable memory slot, FM radio, More ram and MADE BY HTC!!! Other than Tmo bloat and no samoled, isnt it right up there! So why is no one putting it in contention?? Am i missing something here? (Aside from pure Google. Hardware wise.)
[Nexus S General] marvi0:
played with the desire hd today, internet was dead slow, its too big to fit in the hand i must agree, its one big and ugly phone, and now with this whole video calling game stepping up, the desire hd, will be lost so will await the coming of the nexus s, in uk.
[Nexus S General] rulezzzor:
u mean that nexus will be faster with adobe flash than desire ?:DDD i am laughing right now......sgx540 doesnt have adobe flash hw acceleration :D try turn off flash on desire u will see best device on the world :) nexus is **** sorry. desire has some errors but........
[Nexus S General] marvi0:
Flash how do u turn it off on desire?
[Nexus S General] gogol:
I played with my friend's DHD and I dont like it that much. The only thing I like is the screen size. Speed wise is not that impressive.

I will take Nexus S any day just because of some more important aspects:

- Better battery life

- Super Amoled

- Pure Google experience (no need to wait long to get update!)
[Nexus S General] GrimStranger:
The Desire HD is really a beautiful piece of hardware. It just feels like a solid quality phone in your hand.

One thing I've realized using both a Nexus One and Desire HD is the difference in the amount of RAM.

I switch between apps a lot when I'm in the gym, especially these three: timer, RSS reader, JEFIT (work out program). On Nexus One say I'm in the routine page in JEFIT and jump to say timer through the notification bar, when I press back to go back to JEFIT the content goes blank. I have to back out to the starting screen in JEFIT and navigate to routine again to see content.

On the Desire HD, this ain't a problem.

It could be a programming issue. But the way Android is designed bigger RAM equals less frequency of apps being cleared from memory.

I wish Google had more leverage to make Samsung beef up the specs of Nexus S more. Don't get me wrong, I still want one very much, mainly for the fastest update, but the S really isn't as revolution as the One when it came out.
[Nexus S General] d3sm0nd:
For me it's also very hard to find a decision about the two phones...

Right now I have a HTC Desire and I'm really tired to wait for the latest software updates, BUT... i really like the htc additions.. especially the dialer, contacts app, camera app and sense...

And I know that the Nexus S will have a better community and a lot of devs... so can I hope after some time to see a htc sense rom (maybe when 2.3 comes out) ported to the nexus s and all apps work without any problems?

I'm also worried about the RAM... the desire hd doesn't have much more... and I really wonder if it makes any difference. My current HTC Desire also has about 512mb and I think that it's enough... hmm
[Nexus S General] JupiterDroid:
Reasons not to get the Desire HD

May not get Honeycomb officially (will defo get 2.3)

Internal and external speaker problems, and very quiet. Internal speaker has high static jolts when calling over 2g. This is also the same for the Desire Z.

Heavy phone over a large area, 160g.

Scratch the metal back and your phone devalues without possible rectification.

Terrible screen, big but blacks are very bleached and also you have a white hue over the phone when viewing from an off straight angle.

Horrible battery cover, gap in the back part + easily bends and warped....

I just went with a galaxy s. Until google gets NFC up and running 100%, the NS has absolutely nothign to offer over this phone. (well ok the quick updates, bt the cooking community is pretty good on XDA). Even if NFC is up and running in as little as 3-6 months, odds are that there will be a handfull of hands-down better phones avaiable with NFC.

Anywho... went used so I can sell it again when the time comes and minimize my loss while I wait for this nexus s thing to be over (either by being fixed or by having the first wave of NFC phones out).

Everything ist fine with the DHD except for the battery. I've tried every method available now to prolong batterylife of my dhd and still lose 40% batterylife on average use [in 4.5 hours]

But if u live in germany or europe and still want a dhd you're more than welcomed to trade da dhd and nexus s ;)
