Nook Color

If you want a cheap alternative ($250.00)that is pretty good and has the best screen out there for tabs check out the Nook Color from B&N. Some XDA guys are doing some amazing things with it already. I have mine rooted with the market and all. This will at least hold me over till next year when the Moto and HTC powerhouse tabs hit the market.

Yeah I was thinking of getting my g/f the nook color and rooting it. Placed some calls through craigslist so hoping to meet up today.

Android isn't ready to be on a tablet yet but it's for my g/f so she won't care.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mario23:
I agree...I'm sure HTC will have the mac daddy tablet at some point.

I will be perfectly satisfied with the Galaxy Tab though, especially when the custom roms start coming out.

That's not to say this will be my last tablet! ;)

Just got it relished to the global firmware, rooted, installed jit, and scored an impressive 702 on the quadrant test. This phone really impresses me with 2.1 on it.

since i cant get metamorph to work on cyan i want to make my theme a flashable zip. i know were the images are located and everything in an apk but whats the best easiest way to decompile the apk then recompile with my edited images. should i just rename the apk .zip and then rename .apk wen done or will that unsigne it. or should i use apktool and just "apktool d framework-res.apk" and recompile using apktool? thanks for any help
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] waffleman911:
I'm not sure about the correct way to do it, but I have edited the framework-res.apk fine by just rename to .zip, edit some pictures within the drawable-hdpi folder. Put that folder back in the zip then rename to .apk. Then just adb push to the correct location and reboot and everything is fine and looking good. :)
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] ante0:
It depends. If you're just going to edit images you could just open the apk using z7 or winrar and replace the images. If you're going to edit xml files you'd have to decompile it using apktool.

well crap, i think i replied in the wrong thread.. doohhh.. hahaha

anywho, go to your contacts, click on their pic you should see a slew of icons, one of which should be a google voice bubble (a bubble with a phone in it) click on it, and then pick which number you'd like to send a text to .. It may ask you which program you'd like to use, but i can't remember..
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] kalvinl:
I can't speak for everyone else, but I had an update for GV in the market and after the update I went thru login process and SMS worked
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] jpmi23:
Bummer. I don't see that icon on any of my contacts. Poop.

I'll try installing it again tonight. I'm going to flash Vegan B3... I think. Running TnT 2.2 now. Maybe it's an issue with that ROM.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] anjenaire:
Re-install for success

I was having no success with GV and then I went on the app market and install it from there and now I can send SMS messages from my Google Voice account. Running TnT-Lite 2.2.1
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] insight3fl:
I posted this problem as well on the voice thread on general theme.

I installed .3 google voice. I got to the final set up screen where it wants to verify my phone number. When I hit next, it says "We have a problem, your phone number could not be verified. please try again"

When it asked for my user name and password, I put in the email address and pass word that is linked to google account that I set up google voice with (it is not a gmail account, but a yahoo email address) I can access it fine from google.com/voice by putting in those same credentials, but when i go through setup on the tablet and it comes to the part about verifying the phone number, I get the we have a problem screen

What can I do different?

Thanks
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Sprdtyf350:
Just update Google voice from the market. The new one just works now without having to replace the old with 0.3 and all that.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] insight3fl:
I originally tried the one from market and it FC each time I tried to run it. I removed it with the remove applications removal tool in settings and installed this otherone. It loads, opens and allows me to put in my email address and password associated with my only google voice account, but it stops on the phone number verification process.

Thanks for your help

EDIT: Just tried again to install from market. This time when it gets to verify phone number, instead of the error popping up, it gives me a FC... the same as when I tried it before.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] phinphan:
Try signing up for google voice on a pc or via the web first. Use any phone number that you have access to immediately to verify the number then simply install google voice from the market. It should just work. Skip the part about cell phone voicemail if asked.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] jpmi23:
Still no luck on my end. I un-installed the update (in settings), then wiped and un-installed via Titanium Backup, then rebooted. After boot I downloaded and installed from the market. Went through the setup process. Rebooted again. Still no option to SMS when I click on a contact picture. Ideas?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] ima_UNC_fan:
I've been using textPlus. Works pretty good!
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] phinphan:
Can you get to the google voice inbox? If so, press menu and select compose. start typing the name and then pick the persons name and cell and send txt that way. If you can't get the inbox then you have some other problem.

Do you have the google voice configured with a mobile number? Maybe that is it.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] jpmi23:
I'm in the inbox. In menu, all I see is Refresh, Labels, Balance, Search, Settings, and Help.

Also, it is build number: 0.4.2.13, if that matters.

And additionally, I just flashed Vegan b3, if that matters.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] insight3fl:
I have a google voice phone number set up before i had an android tablet. I log in from the web with an email address and password. That is what i am inputing when google voice on my tablet installation setup asks for.....my existing google voice account.

I dont have an android phone and have never run or setup google voice for android on any other device except on pc via web browser.

Now to figure out how to get my cell # to show up on the SMS when someone receives it.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] maxxgraphix:
gvoice

There doesn't appear to be a sms service on my gtab running tnt 2.2.4.

I setup gvoice via the web and added my house ph. Even in Google Voice via the WEB I have no option for SMS. Of course the gtab just FC's if you try to SMS from contacts.

Also there is not a Compose button in Gvoice on the Gtab.

Ideas?

Never mind. You have to have a Google Number setup, not your cell of home ph.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] nascardudette:
Any combined IM and SMS app for Tab? like Digsby?

I am so close to buying the Gtab but big app requirement for me is Instant Messenger and SMS from / to Gtab.

I use Digsby on my laptop and LOVE it because it allows me to use one window to access any contact via sms, im etc.

I have an Epic and messed with Ebuddy for a very short time, but it ATE up my battery. Actually ALL IM apps eat up the Epic battery so I gave up.

I read a little on the Google voice and couldn't tell, does it do IM and SMS? I couldn't tell.

Is anyone using their tabs via wifi for chatting and sms messaging. If so, please advise what apps and of course what mods or is it stock?

Thanks in advance

IM + works great for me. Gtalk, msn, aol, Facebook and most importantly it supports jabber. If you have Google voice, you can SMS from that. Works very nicely.

What program are you using to find it? You need something like root explorer which is a file system available on the market which gives you access to files you can not see with my files. It us not free but is very useful.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Th3Nigh7Stalk3r:

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justmde:
To use that command you need adb google it and will tell you how to install. Or you can use super manger from the market its free to get to the file. Be careful if you don't know what your doing you. I would read up om odin. One click and make sure you have the bottom combos just in case.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
I am not too familiar with the command approach, but if you have root explorer you can navigate to your dbdata, darabases, com.android.providers.settings. Inside there us the file you are looking for. You can copy and paste it to you're internal sd. Then hook up to your computer and transfer the file to your pc. I believe you have to open some table and change a zero to a one. Save then drag back into your phone. Copy, paste back into the original directory where you found it. Over write, reboot.

Or you may consider a custom rom, all have this enabled, and have additional perks. Just saying, it is only a matter of time.

I could upload with bootloader 90.78. I have german milestone with Froyo mod by luca.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] kabaldan:
You would need to use nanddump for yaffs2 block. Using cat on yaffs2 won't do you any good as you would be missing the oob data.

But the pds dump from another phone will not help you as the IMEI in the dumped pds will not match your pohne, AFAIK.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NateRios430:
Hey guys,

I've spent a lot of time here on XDA and around the internet and I can't seem to find an answer to my problem. I've been looking for a week or so, on and off.

I really would like to use my Vibrant for some mobile gaming, including some of the emulators that are available on the Market. What I would like to do is use the Wiimote Controller application alongside the emulators, because I never feel very comfortable using a touch-screen game pad.

The trouble is that for some reason, Samsungs Galaxy S line of phones will not sync up with the Wii Remote via Bluetooth. Most if not all HTC devices have been able to sync up, so I know the Wii Remote is capable of it. I spoke to the developer of the application and he said that for some reason the SGS line of devices just won't do it. He suggested a while back that flashing a stock-Android ROM should solve that problem.

My question, then, would be is there a Vanilla ROM based on 2.2 or do you guys know of a ROM that will accomplish what I'm going for? Right now I am using Frankin-TWIZ by Eugene and I love the ROM but the Wii Remote problem is still there.

So, I appreciate any advice and suggestions that you guys can offer and I do apologize if a similar thread has been started elsewhere, I really couldn't find anything.

Thanks so much,

Nate
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T313C0mun1s7:
Vanilla 2.2 will not help you here. The problem is in the Samsung implementation of Bluetooth. Bluetooth v3.0 + HS is on the virge of existence, but is not yet a fully ratified standard. Samsung used this fact to be able to release a device they call Bluetooth 3.0, but since there is no standard yet they can do whatever they want with. Apparently what they wanted was to not support Bluetooth game controllers.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NateRios430:
So, I'm assuming there is no way for a Samsung Galaxy S device to use an older implementation of Bluetooth?

Thank you for your help, I really do appreciate it, this has been bugging me for a while haha
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T313C0mun1s7:
You should be able to gleam more information from this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=746489

I am not saying that it is not possible, just that the ROM is not the issue, but rather the Bluetooth implementation is. It almost feels as if Samsung did this intentionality.

As far as I am aware all the ROMs here are based off either Samsung source or Samsung leaks. A TRULY vanilla ROM to get the original Bluetooth implementation would mean building it from Google source, which would be sans drivers and you would need to make everything work with your hardware by building your own drivers. I don't think you are going to find this just yet.

You could try CM 6.1, but it is not stable or final yet on the vibrant and I don't really know if it fixes the Bluetooth issue.

Everything works great with my MotoROKR S305 Stereo Bluetooth Headset, and that is all I really care about.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NateRios430:
I'll take a look at that thread, and I just wanted to say that I really appreciate you taking the time to help me out here.
