[Nook Color General] jsmith.nook:
It doesn't work.

Whether I open it up in MS Paint or Gimp the file is reported as corrupted or broken. The reason probably being the lack of a proper BMP header in the file. Also my understanding is there are different flavors of RLE and the BMP header, in part, defines what flavor of RLE it is.

And you might then think that maybe the NC's initlogo.rle is a different flavor RLE as well. The problem there is there's no header on these files, so whatever application is decoding the image to then display it must assume what format the file is in.

Maybe there's a command somewhere in init.rc or elsewhere that passes some kind of parameter to define what type of format the initlogo.rle is. I'll have to go digging.
[Nook Color General] sk8house911:
Did some investigating as I'm trying to add a boot logo to CM7 for the Nook Color.

The stock initlogo.rle is 600x1024, with the format:

Short, little endian: number of pixels with the following color

Byte: red value, 0-255

Byte: green value, 0-255

Byte: blue value, 0-255

(repeats until end of file)

Pixels are filled starting at the top right, moving by columns down and to the left. The resulting image is attached.

Hey guys. Been gone a couple weeks now after returning my unit. Couldn't justify $400 for the problems. I'm still on the prowl for an outlet item that I'd be a little more willing to mod, etc. So (as I'm sure everyone is thinking) if you know of one from the outlet, let me know. They don't seem to have them now, or the past few days. One thing I did discover during my absence...don't hold your breath for the Notion Ink Adam. Been following those threads for a while and it looks like another Archos fiasco over there. People are lit up today. :D

Would anyone mind giving me a brief high level overview of what's been done the past couple weeks? I'm going to try to start catching up, but the overview would be nice. ;)
[G Tablet General] moli13:
I lucked out and bought one from a Sears in Phoenix a few weeks ago for $279 plus tax. I tried most of the roms and for the past week I have been using the VEGAn-tab build and this puppy is screaming now. There are some issues still but they will be resolved soon. My only complaint is the screen. I plan on changing it to Pixel Qi (especially after the Notion Ink adam disaster yesterday) or some other better netbook screen. Still looking at the issues to get this done but I'm willing to tear mine down and put a better screen in it to help everyone else that can't stand the viewing angles.
[G Tablet General] jmfrost:
How much are the Qi screens running? If I can pick this unit up for $300, then I definitely wouldn't mind upgrading the screen, although my soldering skills suck. :D
[G Tablet General] moli13:
Unfortunately they are going for about $300 ( more than what I paid for my G.) There is someone on the thread where the G is disassembled with pictures saying he connected the Qi on it and it did work but the size of the screen is a little off and the case would need to be modified. I hope he can post some pictures of his experiment.

weird isn't it? You take something, translate it to another language and translate it back and you get a whole other translation. Which is also more understandable btw.

The nicest thing is that some parts are syntactically right but semantically totally wrong. It's like Chomsky's "colorless green ideas sleep furiously".

Does china have a currency like ours where they have different coins that hold different value? Are we talking 2500 yuan (alil more than $275 US)? Or like 2500 quarters?

[General Questions and Answers] carmatic:
okay, so there is a bug in the custom ROM that i put on my phone and it requires some ADB commands to fix

i am trying to install Android SDK to get ADB, but it tells me that i need to install Java JDK

so i've downloaded the 6u23 version of JDK for my windows x64, and installed it ... and i ran the Android SDK installer again, and it still says that i dont have Java JDK installed

how do i install the Android SDK?
[General Questions and Answers] carmatic:
right, so i've downloaded the Android SDK zip file , and adb.exe is not under the /tools folder

where can i get adb.exe??
[General Questions and Answers] donob09:
use path to find java

I think you need to add to your environmental variables in the line "path" append to the back end of it < ;path to java>. The path to java may be like C:\Program Files\Java.

You get to environmental variables by going Control Panel > System > Advanced Settings.
[General Questions and Answers] jwebster:
I've got the same issue. No matter what I try I can not get SDK to recognize the fact that JDK 6u23 is on the Vista_64 I'm running.

I've tried to edit the system variable path, but I must be missing something. I'm not really sure of the proper commnad string, and there are even a couple of places that look attempt worthy, so that is what I did, I edited the path, rebooted and still nothing, undid that change and tried it uncer environment variables, still nothing. So I've gone back and undone the changes. Any details on the editing process you suggest might just to the trick. Thanks for helping a nub.

EDIT: Ok, here is what worked for me: In the advanced system settings, environment variables, I noticthed that the CLASSPATH had the path string commenced with "." and ";" thats a dot and a colon. i.e. .;C:\Program Files\Java... This was something that windows or oracle or some sub-routine must have put in place. I certainly didn't them there. I decided to delete the two special charaters so the string for my is set thus: CLASSPATH C:\Program Files\Java\jre 1.6.0... After I changed it, I ran the windows installer and the program went right through, reported finding JDK and intalled the components in SDK. What a relief cuz I was high centered on a rock. Glad I noticed that and deciede to take a hack at it. Just lucky I guess.... Cheers all!

[Wildfire General] Cyda:
Just a quick post to let anyone that is interested know that VISIONary appears to work (to some extent at least) on the HTC Wildfire.

I have only used the 'Temproot now' option but that works well enough to give me root and let me install and run Titanium backup to backup my apps. No lasting changes are made when using this option so the root is lost at reboot but you can simply run it again when you need root access again.

There is a Permroot and Temproot at boot option but I havn't been brave enough to try those yet. (anyone brave enough to test these options? ;P)

In case anyone is wondering why I have gone this route instead of using the unREVOKED tool... it is because using VISIONary allows me to get root access without the seriously annoying 'unable to charge phone when switched off' bug that happens with the Wildfire after using the current unREVOKED tool. If that bug gets fixed I would probably use unREVOKED again but until then this is a good second best for me.

Big props to paul @ MoDaCo for this sweet tool.
[Wildfire General] brilldoctor:
Thanks i may try this
[Wildfire General] ricardoft:
Dude as far as I know (and I've been looking for this bug quite a long time) the problem does not have nothing to do with unrevoked, but with the recovery that is "pre-installed" with it, in this case with ClockwordMod.
[Wildfire General] Cyda:
Yes, I understand this but until unrevoked release a version with a different recovery version the problem stills exists. I believe that you can flash the htc recovery instead of the ClockworkMod recovery and not get this problem. But if I do that, I don't get ClockworkMod (and most importantly the ability to nandroid backup) so I might as well just use this temproot method.

As I said in my original post, if an updated unrevoked is released with a fixed "pre-installed" recovery I would use that method but until then this works for when I want root.
[Wildfire General] rolks:
with unrevoked you can install custom recovery if exist for wildfire, unrevoked dont edit recovery, it is clockworkmod team work
[Wildfire General] kevin2516:
Or you can charge while your phone is ON instead :D, I do, cause I don't like getting missed calls etc.
[Wildfire General] Cyda:
As I said above, I know you can use the HTC recovery and the problem goes away but then so does ClockworkMod and the important ability to be able to be able to make nandroid backups. There is a thread here in the forums about this bug and in it someone contacted Koush (Clockworkmod author) and he said it was not a bug with ClockworkMod.

So I don't really know where the problem lies, only that VISONary gives us another option to use in situations when we really must have root, until this problem is resolved in someway.

What happens in this situation; your battery goes low to the point your phone switches off (maybe a night out and you forgot to charge you phone etc) now because your battery is so low, your phone won't switch on. Now, if you can't switch your phone on because your battery is too low and you can't charge your phone when it is switched off....... how do you use your phone again? ;)

Now I understand this situation will very probably not happen but it is an example of why this bug is annoying.
[Wildfire General] ricardoft:
Dude you probably don't have read the hole thread. If you had, you probably know that POWER + VOLUME DOWN + TRACKPAD will reboot your phone and you can use it without removing your battery ; ) And yes, this method works fine so now we have 2 methods to root our phones. Yeah! : )
[Wildfire General] Cyda:
Ok, so you can press POWER + VOLUME DOWN + TRACKPAD to reboot to save having to take the battery out (thats cool, I didnt know that, thanks for the info) to get the phone working again but will the phone charge when it is off? If not, then the situation is still the same.
[Wildfire General] ricardoft:
I guess phone charge every time, connected or disconnected. The only problem is the orange light, that stays up no matter what you do (until you reboot or pull the battery out) xD
[Wildfire General] dud3me:
So if I root with underevoked I can't recharge phone when it's not turned on?

And what can u do with temproot? I mean can you flash roms and kernells? plz help
[Wildfire General] Cyda:
There is a thread discussing this bug, you would be best to have a read of it as it explains the problem.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=769062

As for the temproot question; no you can't flash ROMS, you need Clockworkmod for that but the temproot allows you to use apps that need root access (e.g. Titanium backup).

Hi everyone, after reading through this thread I wasn't sure if anyone had successfully tried permroot using VISIONary. (I wasn't having too much luck with the Unrevoked method).

[Off-topic] Shasarak:
Hello all! I regard myself as reasonably tech-savvy when it comes to Mobile Internet in my own country (the UK) but I have a friend in America who is need of buying advice, and my knowledge of the american market is rather weak - I'm not even entirely clear who the major players are, and know nothing about their area coverage or price-plans. I'm wondering if someone could either offer some advice, or at least point us towards some reliable comparison websites...?

We're looking for something that allows mobile Internet access on a laptop PC, perhaps something like a 3G "dongle" that can be plugged into the USB port. The location will be in and around St Louis, Missouri. Data usage is likely to be fairly low, I would think - extensive web browsing and email, but not large-scale video downloads. Most importantly, we don't want to get locked into a long contract - it'll probably only be two months before my friend will be off to another (US) location which has fixed-line Internet available.

Any and all suggestions and discussions welcome. :)
[Off-topic] user7618:
The big 4 in the US are Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, and T-Mobile. I'm not sure if you can get a month by month contract with them. I would suggest Boost Mobile, Virgin Mobile, or maybe a regional carrier like CellSouth or US Cellular. Does your friend already have a phone? If so, what is it? If not, be advised that on a no contract service agreement the carrier most likely will not subsidize the handset and you will pay full price for it.

as mention by the above poster the 4 big players are the cellular companies, but now it depends on his cost and also on the coverage

Yeah, that's true, but I don't believe coverage will be an issue, as St. Louis is a major metro area. Pretty much everyone will cover it.

Thanks for the contributions so far. :) Please note that we are not looking for a phone, here, we're looking for a way to get a laptop computer to acquire a portable broadband connection. If we were in the UK then I would suggest a 3G "dongle" - I guess they must have those in the US too...? :)

As for budget, that's fairly limited - but I'd like to get a feel for what the options are, as in "x amount of money will buy you service y"; and, if possible get a suggestion about which deals are better value and which are not.
