Seems as though BertoJG has cwm mostly working, with some advice from Koush and nemith. Cicadaman has a couple builds under his belt, and we really only need DSP and accelerometer to have a complete device. Occip and [mbm] are making great headway on figuring out BT.

INCREDIBLE amounts of effort. Awesome work, guys!

Rboatright (Rick) is doing a separately funded salting/descructive teardown now (maybe he could at least partially recoup some $ from this fund?). Just a random thought...

Looks like we have enough for two more NCs at the moment. So, what are the needs for continued momentum, and who should these go to? Is there anybody else you devs would like to lure over the the NC side?
[Nook Color General] starkruzr:
If Cyanogen doesn't have one yet, we should get him one.
[Nook Color General] Beejis:
This is definitely moving right along! I love it!

Curiosity is killing me here - have those folks actually seen the Bluetooth function on this device?
[Nook Color General] Ophbalance:
I take it most of the discussion is happening on IRC or Twitter? It'd be nice if someone were to dump the IRC logs out to the wiki.
[Nook Color General] h8rift:
I seriously think codeworkx/coolya shoukd get one. Codeworkx wants one but cant buy (he lives in Germany). These two are doing the Nexus S full port to the Galaxy S line of phones. Their amazing coding abilities, insight on AOSP gingerbread, and interest in the NC combined with the NookieDevs would make an insane combo!

Thanks!

[Nook Color General] Zuhkov:
The IRC logs are dumped. They are linked from the nookDevs NookColor portal (http://nookdevs.com/Portal:NookColor)

Here's the direct link to the IRC logs:

[Nook Color General] KryptoNyte39:
Okay, so after reading some of those logs, it would appear they've managed to pair a phone with the NC, with some complications that may be overcome if better BT software can be implemented.

Confirmed - BT present and functional hardware-wise, but still buggy: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=897934

Between this and clockwork, it's been an interesting couple of days for the NC :)
[Nook Color General] infinityPlusOne:
Yeah that is quite interesting indeed. I too just parsed through the irc logs for today. A few interesting tidbits...

Regarding Bluetooth functionality

Regarding the salting

[Nook Color General] ADHurt:
Are donations needed/still being accepted? I love the way my NC is working now that its rooted and would love to help out.
[Nook Color General] EugeneKay:
Sorry I've not posted any updates lately. Been a lil busy with stuff, haven't even gotten to fiddle with the current Nookie Froyo or Clockwork Recovery stuff, but the news sounds promising.

TheDudesAndroid, a member of the CM team, has expressed serious interest in getting an official Cyanogenmod built for the device, in conjunction with the existing Nookie efforts. I've ordered him a device, and he will be picking it up this afternoon at Best Buy.

I've updated my original post with the current funds tally. Donations are still being accepted, but I am taking my time with sending these devices out.
[Nook Color General] RoboRay:
Best news I've heard since Bluetooth was demonstrated to be functional! :)
[Nook Color General] candre23:
Good call. I decided to try out nookie froyo on a uSD card yesterday, and it's looking very promising. Once we get a fully functional CM recovery, fully functional (and easy to install on internal flash) froyo should follow directly. Owning a NC gets more exciting every day :)

I know there was some discussion a while back about buying a nook for salting. I guess no decision was made quickly enough and novaports just up and bought their own. I was thinking it might be a good idea to throw those guys something for their efforts. We've already bought 3 dev nooks and have more than enough for a 4th, so maybe we could pass on $100 or so to novaports to at least help cover their expenses. A lot of donators were in favor of supporting the salting project (myself included), and I think we should at least chip in now that its under way.
[Nook Color General] EugeneKay:
I am undecided on when to "finish" this fund, it will likely be after #5 is sent out. Anything I still have leftover will be sent off to help with the Salted unit and to needy devs. I have had a few suggestions on talented folks to get these units, but I haven't had anybody "come forward" to speak with me about it. If you're interested(or know somebody who is), come visit us in #nookie on FreeNode(or tell your recommendation to) to chat about it. Interest in the device matters just as much as knowledge.

Like I said, still undecided on a stopping point, and still accepting donations, as there are plenty of folks who could help out with this project(who don't have Nooks yet). Lets get these guys Nooked up!
[Nook Color General] teknikk7:
Was there ever any discussion about getting someone over at the Archos forums a unit? I am not sure the exact person but someone over there managed to figure out the timings in the Gen 8 7" which uses the same CPU as our unit and get a stable overclock at 1GHz or 1.2 GHz through SetCpu.

I think our Nook's would be a whole different animal running at 1.2GHz.

I will look for the thread and try to find the guy who did the grunt work.

This was a great effort! I saw that the three Nooks were bought and paid for, so my donations went directly to Cyanogen and Koush. Looking forward to some Nookie CM!
[Nook Color General] BobbyBest:
I've ordered a NC yesterday, so after its journey over the ocean I'll be in, too :D

To me it seems like a CM7 port would be a bit pointless since the really tablet experience will be with honeycomb.

Till then - I think - ebody can live with Froyo...
[Nook Color General] msid:
I disagree. Many people want a CM7 port, and that is exactly what the CM team is working on:

http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/11127-nook-color-rooted-hypothetical-question/
[Nook Color General] RoboRay:
I also fail to see how a huge improvement feature-wise and polish-wise over what we have now is pointless. Would Honeycomb be better? Yeah, of course, but Honeycomb has to actually exist first before we can say that the best thing that actually does currently exist is pointless.
[Nook Color General] spikey911:
Well I am glad you made up our minds for us... :)

Negativity toward future builds is not good for promoting development.

I am sure Honeycomb will be great, but that doesn't make everything else bad..
[Nook Color General] rogerdugans:
And speaking as someone who has been using CyanogenMod for a while and through a few versions, I would rather have a CM rom one version back than an oem rom or most of the other roms around.

CM roms are that good: stable, fast and with added functionality as a rule.

So if my choices end up being a CM rom from cell phones and a generic tablet android- yeah, I'd take CM.

Wow donations.

That is great you folks have so much money. Cool.

I REALLY want a Nook Color.

$249 here plus 7% tax. $17.43 That is what? $266.43...

Average US monthly salary $2,437 month

So, buying a Nook Color is 10.92% of average monthly salary.

I make $243 a month from the Veteran's Administration.

So, buying a Nook Color is 109% of my monthly salary.

I want one.

So, I need a donation... Or someone to take care of me for 9 months or so. Allowing me to save the required $266.43 to purchase my dream...

Is this dude for real?
[Nook Color General] runhopskipjump:
@brokevet

I am truly grateful for all you have done if you are truly a vet. I am sorry for what every unfortunate circumstance that you may have had to deal with or currently still are. With a limited income one may want to reconsider how they spend. While the feeling of owning a Nook Color and pushing the device to its limits are nice; you may want to reconsider if it is truly worth it to you. The way you phrased your post made it seem as if the act of doing so would be difficult while maintaining a decent standard of living. Think of the opportunity cost my fellow human. You may want to use that fixed income or whatever donations one may grace you with in a different/more productive/meaningful way. I hope you don’t get flamed for this if you truly are a veteran because people do make mistakes. If you are a fake, then all I can say is karma is a b*tch. Farewell.
[Nook Color General] Bimboy:
He's probably legit, but he did the same thing last year on a Yamaha motorcycle forum. The "Donate to me" link leads you to a paypal account. I searched for the email address, and found this other forum that he did something very similar.

I appreciate him serving. I did too, but I agree with runhopskipjump. He should help himself first, and evaluate if a electronic book reader is what he really needs, if he had an extra $260. If he's able to ride his motorcycle as fast as it goes, and volunteer to make egg salad for the church, he's certainly employable. Being a one post wonder and asking for a handout is not too cool. That's not what the fund or forum was intended for.
[Nook Color General] the.tall.man:
If you're gonna play on peoples reflex sympathies to 'patriotism', the least you could do is post scans of all your credentials...
[Nook Color General] Bimboy:
Regardless, the dude needs some mental healthcare and some ambition, not a NC given to him from funds earmarked for something totally different. I don't want to see his creds, and this is most definitely not the place for them.

How about going back on-topic? :)
[Nook Color General] RoboRay:
As a vet, I am sickened by people abusing that status to "justify" asking for handouts.

I am happy to help other people with their needs, but neither an electronic book reader nor a tablet computer is a need.
[Nook Color General] Bimboy:
Okay, we have enough for almost two more NCs. TheDudesAndroid is on vaca in Mexico (hope he's having a good time.. I just got back from Playa del Carmen). Can we keep progress moving from his branch, and donate at least one more NC to another CM dev?

As more devices get introed, we can get less and less attention from people who can help further develop the NC. We have the funds, let's use 'em! :)
[Nook Color General] brokevet:
The smiley was sarcasm.

I have tried to work. Boss calls me in to talk about my SSN.

It needs to be unblocked by Doctor.

They say no. I beg, I plead, Doctor says no.

They don't want to be responsible.

Not being able to walk most of the time is minor.

I sleep for weeks at a time and I am lost in 1992 more than half of the time.

I hope to get it to 20% of the time someday.

I still make bread and give it away. I stay in the kitchen when I am awake.

The Yamaha still runs great.

I have read every tablet related word for over three months.

The Nook Color wins. Yes, that is what I want. It is not a need.

All I wanted was to stay in the Army. I do not abuse the title.

It is a punishment for not dying to me. No SSN, no Passport, no money, etc.

Great life for Veterans in this country.

I salute Veterans that come back and make something of their lives.

But the 166,000 of us stuck as prisoners in the Veteran's Administration Mess haven't got what you have. We realize Liberty and Freedom are nothing more than gas money. I get one day a month of Freedom. Then the gas is gone, the bills are paid, and the cupboard is full of Ramen Noodles. My caretaker will not buy one so I am using the only other option. Asking from my room. I checked PayPal and I am $37 dollars closer to my own Nook Color.

Thank you.

The Motorcycle took two years of gathering parts. But I didn't get flamed this much then.

Now back to what we are supposed to be talking about.

I really love the Nook Color!
[Nook Color General] brokevet:
And thank you Mr. $20, $5, $10, and $2...

Check your PayPal. I sent it back to you.

You are right a 10% of average person doesn't need an Android Tablet after all.

I just wanted it so I could read after lights out.

Don't like being forced to go to sleep at 9.

Good luck guys.
[Nook Color General] EugeneKay:
lolwut?

kmobs and cvpcs, established Team Douchers, have expressed interest in getting a Nook Color. Once I(and they) sober up tomorrow I will be setting them up for some weekend dev work. I will also be updating my post with recent donations(another $40).

[Q] HTC Sense: No birthdays on "Updates and Events" tab with Google Mobile Sync

Recently I stopped using NuevaSync (no free plan is available any more :( ) to sync my phone's contacts and calendar with Google and went back to Google Mobile Sync. Since then no birthdays of my contacts appear on "Updates and Events" tab, although birthdays are still synced from Google to my phone.

Has anyone else experienced this thing?

P.S.: I am aware that a variation of this problem has been discussed already (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=579887), but in that case it was related to a new version of Manila. In my case, I was able to see birthdays until I switched to a different sync service.

=== UPDATE ===

I just found out that although the dates are synchronized to phone's address book seemingly correctly, there must be something "rotten" there, since after I "edit" birthday of a contact without changing it on the phone, suddenly I can see it on the "Updates and Events" tab (both for this particular contact and on the one for all contacts).

Strange... :confused:
[Epic 4G Accessories] mikeschevelle:
Are there any larger batteries that will still fit in the stock back. I want an "extended battery", but am not willing to sacrifice my Active X case to get one.
[Epic 4G Accessories] muyoso:
For all intents and purposes, no. There is a 1600 mAh that sells for some ridiculous price like 60 dollars or something, but anyone who spends that much for a 100 mAh bumb at BEST is moronic. Also, Stock batteries typically have an extremely high real life mAh, usually 95-98% of rated mAh. Any aftermarket will not have as high of a percentage, so a 1600 will probably be just barely better than stock.
[Epic 4G Accessories] Masterface7:
This is not true the 1600 battery is a seidio and seidio batteries are pretty well known for being higher quality than stock. Tag on some extra charge on top of that and it will probably be quite noticable. A couple years ago when I had a touch pro 2 I bought a seidio battery that had 250 mAH more than stock and in real life usage I almost got double the time out of it. I changed from charging every night to every other night.
[Epic 4G Accessories] muyoso:
That is absolutely based on no truth. Seido is ABSOLUTELY not better than stock. In fact, NOTHING beats stock batteries.

batteryboss.org

No Seido battery has better than an 84% real life mAH to rated mAH. Stock batteries have at MINIMUM 95% real life mAH to rated mAH.

84% of 1600 = 1344 mAH

95% of 1500 = 1425 mAH

[Epic 4G Accessories] glen_e:
muyoso, do you have the research from the site to back up those numbers? I'm not about to go digging for it myself...

There are a variety of factors that reduce a lithium ion battery's performance. First of all, lithium batteries have a higher internal resistance than their nickel metal-hydride and nickel cadmium counterparts (counterparts in the sense of their use in cell phones over the years). This is one reason why they heat up quite a bit during both charge and discharge, and consequently "age" faster when existing in a warm environment.

Lithium batteries self-discharge at around 8% per month, and during this time typically suffer a permanent capacity loss when left unused. Batteries that were produced and stored in a warm place for too long will certainly not charge to as high of a capacity as another identical battery that was produced and began earlier discharge cycles in a real-world environment.

Lithium batteries do not have a "memory," which is the effect that nickel cadmium batteries are reputable for carrying over the course of many charge/discharge cycles. In other words, your battery isn't going to suffer because you never let it run dead before charging it all the way back up. It doesn't matter. However, leaving it on a charger with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and a high-definition porno on simultaneously will only negatively effect the battery due to the heat generated from current delivery.

Some batteries are simply better than others. This holds true even among batteries of the same brand, capacity and application. The way they are handled, stored and used determines the life and performance of the battery in your phone. In this case, do not drain your battery to 0% before charging it back up. It's typical for lithium batteries' capacity to permanently drop by 15-25% within one year's use.

If you have a spare cell, charge it to about 40%, take it out and put in the refrigerator. Also, make sure you check the manufacturing date on the packaging, as I said before, storing for long periods without a 40% charge or regular charge/discharge cycles will result in a lessened capacity.

Just figured I would throw a few facts out there. I began using lithium batteries for robotics projects a number of years ago when they became much more prevalent.
[Epic 4G Accessories] muyoso:
The guy behind batteryboss.org did extensive testing. Stock batteries were all rated at near rated capacity. Seido batteries were not. He clearly explains his testing procedures. I have read over that site pretty thoroughly and trust his numbers and technique.

[Epic 4G General] jeremiah.rs:
i think its stupid. Sprint is the only carrier that is giving us unlimited access through 4G.

If you look at the data plans being offered by the other carriers, we're getting such a good deal. Take a look at the proposed plans for Verizon's LTE network, you have a data allowance of only a few gigs for a lot more than we're paying Sprint.

I don't mind paying 10 bucks a month for a service that I use. I mean I use a lot of data every month, and I live in an area where I get 4G so 10 bucks a month for unlimited access is fine by me.
