[Nook Color General] rogerdugans:
I realize it is perhaps a strange question, but since the Nook Color doesn't work in Landscape mode and the Kindle software does- AND the Nook for Android software I installed on my cell phone also does, I would like to be able to swap the "broken" original Nook Color version and use Nook for Android.

I have tried a few things to make this work to no avail.

I recently appended ".bak" to all the applications with "BN" in the name in /system/app and restarted on the off chance that one of them was preventing it from working but no such luck.

I expect that if/when custom roms are available this issue will go away, but in the meantime has anyone else tried this or found a way to successfully get the nook ereader software to use landscape mode?
[Nook Color General] ma_xda:
I installed it from the android market on my NC but it doesn't start regardless of orientation. No FC, just won't start.
[Nook Color General] Baka no Kami:
Yep. Same here. Nook for Android won't start on the NC.

...Kindle for Android does. I believe this is called irony.
[Nook Color General] deitiphobia:
yeah kind of lame that it won't start. I'm curious as to wether it provides a better experience than the built in stuff. Ya never know.
[Nook Color General] gladiusdei:
Kindle for Android does? Hah! Any word on how it runs. Having one device with access to Nook AND Kindle content would be fantastic.
[Nook Color General] rogerdugans:
Kindle runs pretty well, really.

I like that it, unlike the stock Nook ereader software, will do landscape mode.

One bad thing that was pointed out to me is that the scroll bar to rapidly change pages is virtually impossible to use.

[Captivate General] Aquarianperry:
... and to boot, B&N is already stating they are committed to 2.3 on it as well. That's a darn shame the Samsung and the carriers are slipping with these Galaxy S phones so bad :mad:
[Captivate General] Crusty_Demons:
Just got this text message from at&t anyone know what it might be? I plan to decline the update since I am on a custom rom.

AT&T FREE MSG: AT&T is providing a free update for your phone. When asked to install the update, please select OK. Thank You.
[Captivate General] joeybear23:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't quality testing for an E- reader be somewhat less extensive than it would be for a smartphone?

My guess is the Nook just needs to be able to run the OS and a few apps. The Captivate was past that stage months ago... probably before the phone was even released.
[Captivate General] polarbee:
That's just the old update. They've been spamming everyone with it for the most part.
[Captivate General] polarbee:
And my apple refuses to peel as easily as my orange. What's up with that?!
[Captivate General] dawei213:
Yeah, weird, you should have a doctor look at that for you before it turns green and falls off...
[Captivate General] cappysw10:
Great, now get your Nook to make calls and run apps and you're all set!! :eek:
[Captivate General] Aquarianperry:
My gripe is this, I got my Captivate July 14th from Best buy, this is now December 15th! Froyo was released in I believe May. Why Samsung didn't release all Galaxy S. phones with 2.2 is quite idiotic when I'm sure they had the 2.2 souce before May and could have put it on all models of the Galaxy S phones at launch or by the end of August at THE LATEST!!!

I got my Nook Color November 20th, and B&N has already committed to bringing out 2.2 by the end of January and 2.3 later next year. And this I can believe, before the nook color I had the original nook, they upgraded the firmware on that device at least half a dozen times in a years time. The most We've heard from samsung is delay after delay, when the phones were first show Samsung was stating the 2.2 release would be by August, then by the end of summer, then by mid november.... IT"S NOW MID DECEMBER - six months since the first Galaxy S phones were released and almost 8 months since froyo was released to manufacturers and no one still has a definate date.

Now some people will say "It's the carriers fault for the delay!!!" That's partially true, but you must remember Samsung supposedly released the code to the carriers at the end of September/mid October, whom in turn haven't even acknowledged that they have it nor given anyone a straight answer on a release date. But that's just two months out of six since Galazy S was released so you can't really blame the carriers fully about something that should have had 2.2 to begin with.

And as far as the people saying "The Nook Color is an ereader, Galaxy S is a phone!!! Beyond the GSM chip, the camera and bluetooth and their associated applications the underlying OS is the same - and it's not like B&N just threw stock vanilla Android on their device, they tweaked and overlayed the heck out of it, just like Samsung does with their phones. So why does it take Samsung almost half a year to release an upgrade for their phones while B&N can release an upgrade in two months?

So what were they doing all that time? I guess working on 2.3 to work with Nexus S - which is basically a Galaxy S phone with a different body, curved screen and an NFS chip thrown in. So what happens to all of the Galaxy S phones? IF Samsung is smart they will release 2.3 to all of the Galaxy S phones no later than March, there's no excuse not to especially when they just put out another Galaxy S clone with 2.3.
[Captivate General] polarbee:
:rolleyes:

I...don't even know where to begin. Doesn't matter anyway as you clearly just want to complain.
[Captivate General] Aquarianperry:
Yep, I'm venting, I love my Captivate for the hardware that's in it but right now it's like having a high speed sports car with only first and second gear. And as time goes on and the lack of initiative from Samsung and AT&T to try to keep this phone up to date makes me think I should have just jumped ship and looked at an HTC device. It's just mind boggling that a $250 non-contract device may get more updates than something that I paid $200 for WITH a 1-2 year contract which will total more than $1.5k when it's all said and done.

Of course I could just go and slap on a 2.2 ROM and be content and then wait for the dev's to put 2.3 out for it, but it shouldn't have to be that way, we shouldn't have to rely on dev's to cook them up for us when the average person with a Galaxy S phone has a 1-2 year contract on it.

With that much money going into the device over a 1-2 year span for the purchase of the device and service the phone should be guaranteed at least two major updates not just creak by with one whenever the manufacturers and carriers feel they should put effort into it.As much as I hate Apple that's one place where they got it right - making sure their iPhones are upgradeable for the life of a purchasers contract.
[Captivate General] joeybear23:
Dude, you shoulda got the Dell.. isn't the Aero still on Cupcake?
[Captivate General] Aquarianperry:
I had a Dell Aero V50 Windows mobile PDA once during my windows mobile heydays, took them forever to put out the update to windows mobile 5.0, great update but too late, by then I jumped ship to Windows Mobile Phone Samsung BlackJack, which Samsung at least put out the updates for everyone to grab offline and easily update their phones even though AT&T never put it out officially.

After that going thru three HTC window Mobile phones maybe I got spoiled, HTC was in the same boat Samsung is in now with makeing several variations of a phone (Tilt/Fuze/Tilt2) but didn't play with customers emotions they updated their phones, when one was able to update they were all able to be updated off of their site, and if you wanted you could wait for AT&T to bring out their watered down version but never anything like this.

[Nook Color General] indeana:
I have discovered a way to create folders on the ADW desktop without having to use additional software/android packages. Basically you have to manipulate a table in the launcher database.

Photos

1)	Shows the folder “System Stuff” on the desktop. (Look for it near Santa’s beard.)

2)	Shows the “System Stuff” folder open and with applications inside

3)	Shows the edited fields of the favorites table of the launcher.db

My Setup/Requirements

NookColor Rooted/ADB access

ADW.Launcher installed (I am running version 23)

Root Explorer

SQLite Editor installed

Linda File Manager installed (optional, but necessary if you want to create shortcuts to books)

Steps

1.	Open Root Explorer and find the database for the launcher. Mine is located at /data/data/org.launcher/databases

2.	Open the database. (Mine is called launcher.db)

3.	Open the favorites table

4.	Use the menu button to create a new record and enter the following information into the fields:

_id = Assign the next sequential record id (increment +1 from the last record in the table)

Title =The name you want to give your folder

Intent = Leave blank

Container = -100

Screen= 1 (or the number of the screen you want the folder displayed on)

cellX = 2	(or the column you want the folder displayed on)

cellY = 0	(or the row you want the folder displayed on)

spanX = 1 (the folder will be 1X1 in size)

spanY = 1 (the folder will be 1X1 in size)

itemType	= 2 (this declares the type to be something other than a shortucut)

appWidgetID = -1	(this identifies the widget as a folder)

5.	Save the record

6.	Exit Root Explorer

7.	Reboot the NookColor

8.	When the system finishes booting, you should now see a folder on whatever screen you put it on.

9.	To add items to the folder, simply click and drag.

Comments:

You can also add shortcuts to the folder by manipulating the favorites table in the launcher.db. You find your shortcut in the table and modify the record so that the container field is the same as the _id field of the folder shortcut.

I added Linda File Manager to the Setup/Requirements list because if you want to add books to a folder, LFM is the only program so far that I’ve seen that will allow the creation of a shortcut (for a book) to the desktop.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] The Compiler:
Hi there,

my HTC Magic seems to kill simcards.... For around a year, everything seemed fine, but now, it just killed the 4th sim card in a year... It just suddenly displays "no sim inserted", and the sim doesn't work in other phones anymore, either....

Anyone got an idea what could be the reason of that? :(

I am very sorry to start a new thread when this has been covered I would like to put HSPL onto my tytn.

I keep getting the Error 260 connection error.

I tried running SSPL on my phone with the file HERMIMG.NHB on the SD card it just hangs on the boot screen with the coloured bars I do not understand what is meant to happen after running sspl-herm.exe. It mentions running the firmware utility in the instructions I am not sure exactly what that means I know there are the RUUwrappers and ROMUpdateUtility progs.

read a lot of threads seems people have success with different techniques resolving this particular error.

Be grateful if you could help.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Disease8:
now when i run the original ruuwrapper which came with HSPL v7 it comes up with error 115 wrong version of activesync.

When I run sspl-HERM.exe on my phone it comes up with :

HERM200

IPL-SSPL by des

HERM200

SPL-1.09.ds

usually its~:

HERM200

IPL-1.04

HERM200

SPL-1.40.Olipro
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Disease8:
I am also trying to use Hermes sim unlock version 3 to get hardspl on there.

This brings up the same info on the boot screen:

But it says it should be

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Disease8:
Just used my xp machine with activesync

IT WORKED! :)

After trying every technique in the end just had to use good old XP :-)

Used the original HSPL v7 I was trying before. Not problems.

I was using the older Activesync too as xp dont use the Windows Mobile Device Centre.

Hey ! If you are, like me, tired of Samsung TouchWiz (which sucks a bit), here is what you always dream of for your i5800: A rom with Stock Apps/Feel :).

Some things are still missing (like notification bar, Contacts/Telephony which are still from Samsung TouchWiz),

Features :

Rooted

Stock Launcher (Launcher2.apk)

Stock Email/Calendar/Camera/Calculator/SMS/Music Apps/Clock/...

Telephony/Contacts/TaskManager from Samsung's Touchwiz

Stock widgets (some may be missing)

Removed many useless apk (Your phone will be REALLY faster (if you use lagfix too ;) ))

Android Market (Google apps should be downloaded)

Stock lockscreen (might be buggy, will be fixed)

To be done:

Stock bootscreen

Stock notification bar

Stock Gallery (Well... It's like Samsung's one)

Stock Browser

Stock contacts/telephony

Remove TaskManager

Stock recent apps screen

Stock keyboard (you can install it manually)

There is maybe some bugs ;)

In next version:

framework-res.apk tweaks (for lock, maybe for battery/notification bar)

Automatic lagfix (with check, etc)

FM Radio

My Files

A better calendar

Vidéo player

Maybe other things (just ask me ;) )

Notes:

You should flash it with Odin :).

I5800 lagfix won't by default work on it (because of /dev/stl6 mounted on /system), a modified version is provided too :).

Please provide feedback ;)

Downloads:

Version 0.1 (JPA)

Lagfix for version 0.1 (JPA)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] pingor:
More custo ROMs - good work - test it in your free time - a pity that no JPB
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Gsam101:
JPB has a few stupid bugs which makes me don't like it ;)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Szaby59:
Please upload to rapidshare.

MU has "The file you are trying to access is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later."

Lagfix is only for /data or/system is on ext, too?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Gsam101:
Only for /data. No change in partition scheme, since our Odin can't change it.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Szaby59:
There are more partitions, when I flashed my i5801 with the wrong ops file it's booted with different partition scheme (f.e: /system was on stl7)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Gsam101:
Not related, here /system is on stl6 and there is no partition change (since i did begin from a fresh JPA).
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] god_md5:
awesome

can you help to add full language support to this rom?

like is edit framework-res.apk to add?

Hi, I like the idea that you started working on it. I have just few simple questions which will help me to decide :)

1, I have just yesterday flashed jpB - could you please tell me what bugs does it have ? It just needs time to re-fresh all my apps so I want to know if to do so or not :)

2, I'm using swipe keyboard, is it in your ROM please?

3, I'm using LauncherPro (because of it's option to change icons 5x4 or activities). Is it possible in google launcher ?

4, what are the major advantages of original google enviroment ?

5, for maps I'm using BRUT maps, for SMS Handcent, and I have uninstaled allmost everything from Sams with Titanium :)

2)Yes, Samsung's keyboard too :)

3)You can install LauncherPro (i use ADWLauncher personally)

4)Well, it depends on your point of view.. But the rom is way lighter :)

5)Yes, you can use it ;).

[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Szaby59:
I don't know why people doesn't like the TW3 launcher.

It's fast, nice, well organized, and has great sized icons.

Only disadvantage is missing dock function, but LPro and ADW has also disadvantages.

[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Gsam101:
Slow ? ADWLauncher is very very fast for me (after one day of use, i'm still impress by my phone's reactivity).

FadeFx => You want to make it ? I'll post it else, i'm using Samsung's Calendar/Radio FM/MyFiles

god_md5 => Mh.. I don't know about the center in fact.. Maybe a hidden option in settings ? What do you mean by multi sms ? Multi sms works for me :). And yeah, it can't open Samsung's dialer, it sucks. I think i will change it for ADWLauncher in next release ;).
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Szaby59:
It's not slow, the froyo version is even better.

Scrolling in ADW is a bit laggy, also I think Go Launcher is better.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Gsam101:
Do you use lagfix ? ADW forks fine for me ;).
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Szaby59:
Lagfix will not fix graphic lag.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Gsam101:
Well, i think here it's a I/O lag (like 90% of the lag in i5800), since it works way better for me than before...

I prefer launcherPro

- you can use activites / direct link to settings or applications

- you can have 5x4 icons on homepage

well I stoped to using TW3 after I enabled apps2sd, after each restart of mobile the icons in touchwiz were disorganized

how to remove the default application on JPB?

Do it with Titanium Backup ?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Aj264:
there is no movie player or video player either..and the icon for the previously image in camera doesn't do anything on clicking..which may mean it requires the stock gallery..there is no volume control in music player..is it because of the stock app or a bug..i couldn't tell..same goes for the lack of equalizer..

the stock lock can be unlocked by pressing the home key and the menu key in that order..
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Gsam101:
Lock => Yes, normal behavior. You can change it by editing framework-res.apk. I will do it in next version (which will come soon, since i'm now in holidays).

The Movie player is coming. For volume control, you have volume keys which work :).

my contacts...very unstable, depends when i check it, i see all my contacts, other time i see only a few...

the battery...i thought froyo will manage better the battery, but this rom is eating it...it last so little ( i'm used to 2 or 3 days...)
