The subtle UI changes can all be done through mods. as for the rest? not all that exciting.

I guess i'm just confused why people are so worked up about it. when it gets here, it gets here. why make pointless posts asking if you feel teased. no not really.

now, if they were to say, gingerbread will bring a holographic player and they kept delaying the release, then yes, i would feel teased. As it stands, it's not a big, huge update and therefore, i'm not all titillated by the mere mention of "gingerbread"
[EVO 4G General] phistyle:
exactly! people act like every little update is like the second coming of CHRIST or something
[EVO 4G General] mmegalodon:
Well I can agree that it may not be as big of a deal as some have made it out to be - maybe that'll be 3.0 - or whatever. Its an update and is supposed to offer additional **** and more refinements. So in that respect I'm pumped.

If an update doesn't offer anything and people are disappointed I understand. But when it does, and someone is let down because it doesn't have what they necessarily want than I can't side with that.

And yes, the UI stuff being able to be replicated by some theme-ish means doesn't mean anything ... it means an advancement in Android UI and people should "sort of" be excited for that. At least I am. Maybe because I've been drinking .. but got dayum.

People don't seem to realize that the extra .1 difference in the version denotes bugfixes and MINOR feature additions (Yes, I know Google is salivating over NFC, and it's a neat technology, but it doesn't apply to people who aren't buying brand new phones, namely Nexus S for now).

As for large, noteworthy upgrades, you should be getting a lot of good stuff in Honeycomb, as it's a new main version. Of course, all we can do, is wait about 6 months for Google to release it to know for sure.

[Droid Incredible General] Epicardium:
Way back when I owned an AT&T tilt, we had to remove the plastic camera cover to improve quality. It appears the same is true of the incredible.

My cover is not very scarred. I would consider my phone in great shape overall. Still, I decided to pop off the lens cover that projects out the backside of the phone. In so doing, there is a very appreciable improvement in contrast and sharpness of my photos. Attached are some samples. Now, if only we can figure out how to remove or replace the lens cover without jeopardizing the camera itself. As of now, it's the only barrier of protection, so removing it permanantly is not really an option.

Note, the video also shows great improvement, as should be expected.
[Droid Incredible General] magneticzero:
thats pretty odd, none of my photos look washed out like that with the camera lense still intact o.O
[Droid Incredible General] Epicardium:
THanks. So, based on your feedback I decided to go ahead and clean both sides of the lens cover and also the inner lens cover with some alcohol. Definitely improved things for me. Check out the attached. It's weird because I could not appreciate any smudges of cloudiness by visual inspection. Looks no different to me after I've cleaned it, but the picture can't lie. There may still be a difference with the cover removed.
[Droid Incredible General] ACD168:
that looks wayyy better.
[Droid Incredible General] whewstoosae:
Isn't the lens somewhat glued onto the phone. Mine needs cleaning but I was afraid of hurting my phone.

[Droid Incredible General] kenif:
camera lens glare

Having a clean lens will help all photography. I think much of the difference in the first two photo examples is due to glare from sun position and or cloud cover. Notice the difference in the shadow from the pickup. Very pronounced with bright sun in washed out photo, and almost invisible in the 'clear' shot.

When shooting outside with SLR's I always try to use a glare shield, and when I have time to compose a shot with my phone, I do the same by just shadowing the lens with my hand. Sometimes awkward, but it does improve outdoor shots in the sun.

Ken

- also, glare is greatly amplified by a dirty lens...
[Droid Incredible General] makos101:
could you list steps on how to remove the lens cover? I dont really wanna break anything with my camera. Thanks
[Droid Incredible General] rusty4k:
Careful with the alcohol it mucks up plastik & rubber
[Droid Incredible General] I_ronnik:
had the same problem. resolved

I had the same concerns. In fact, returned my first two Incs because of dust buildup under the camera glass. (edit-didn't mean to offend. I know everyone is busy/has a life/doesn't check messages all of the time) I wondered if it was latched somehow, or maybe screwed on. One day, out of frustration, I took off the battery cover and just tried to take it off. Turned out it was just stuck on with some kind of soft adhesive; just two short horizontal lines of it, at the top and bottom, behind the red part. I just gently pulled, and it did unstick from the top. I left the bottom connected, but folded the cover/bezel down and cleaned the inside with a little alcohol on a q-tip. Good as new. I wish I had done this on my very first Inc. I would probably still have it, and it had the best display.
[Droid Incredible General] whewstoosae:
Thanks for the info, I was too afraid to touch it without knowing if it was going to damage it or not.

Sent from my MIUI Incredible.
[Droid Incredible General] nordr:
That's actually a little disturbing. By no means do I think the Incredible is somehow the industry standard of build quality, but the lens cover itself looks like it's made by NASA. Disappointing (but useful!).
[Droid Incredible General] I_ronnik:
I agree. This seems like a very preventable issue, from a manufacturing standpoint. The only good thing is that there is another piece of glass (square) that is over the actual camera lens, and seems to be well sealed to the camera module itself. I haven't seen any dust under there. I agree with the 'disappointing' aspect. The 8Mp camera w/flash was a big factor in deciding to buy this phone.
[Droid Incredible General] g00s3y:
just did this, my pictures are coming out much better now also. Thanks for the tip, never thought of this...
[Droid Incredible General] .jRay.:
Does it work the same way with Incredible S(vivo), i too have some dust under the glass.
[Droid Incredible General] moondev:
just remove your battey cover and then you should be able to pop the cover and lense off

I did some searching on the forums. I didn't find anything, but I may have overlooked it as I'm not sure of the exact name of the splash. Does anyone happen to have it on hand? It happens to be the splash that comes on the current Sprint Lovers ROM. Its a simple "HTC quietly brilliant" animation, and I think also quite attractive.

Pointing me in the right direction is greatly appreciated. :)

Thanks ahead of time.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ifly4vamerica:
is this the one your looking for, it has the HTC with the android peeking out then goes to just plain HTC with quietly brilliant under it ... check the png's inside ... this is the boot animation though not the splash ... maybe not what you are looking for ...

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wmdunn:
You need to replace the boot animation in system/media using a program like root explorer or the root option in es file explorer. You may have to search in order to find the existing file because there are a couple of other places it could be in the system.

I do. Great place to work.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ifly4vamerica:
Mine is in /system/customize/resource ... I think in CM it might be in /system/media ... correct instructions though, just use root explorere to copy and paste it. For the other question about the mp3 with the sound SPC_animation_final.mp3 is in the same folder, you can make any 20 second mp3 then remane it to the above and put that in with root explorer and poof you have sound, sorry I dont have the one that came with this. just replacing the bootanimation will leave you with the stock sprint sound. You can also delete the spc_animation. mp3 and get the animation without sound.

[Nook Color General] mrintegrity:
Hi,

My dad shipped me a nook color on monday with express international delivery (3 to 5 business days). The tracking page says "has now left the united states" since two days ago with no further updates.. is this typical of the USPS? I'm thinking that their tracking system can't be that good over seas?

Any US people here can help a desperate NC wannabe out with some info? :)

/mr
[Nook Color General] Sirchuk:
I'm surprised it even says that it left the US. USPS doesn't have tracking like UPS, FedEx or DHL. The only thing it usually says is "We have the package." and "We delivered the pack on X date." It doesn't say where in transit it is.

And as for tracking outside the US, I have no idea what it's going to show.
[Nook Color General] devis:
Expect it to be held in customs. USPS is notoriously bad about this... I never ship anything USPS internationally. FedEx... yea it's more expensive but it's a sure thing.
[Nook Color General] occip:
Hi

USPS tracking sucks...

I received my NC in France last week, with USPS Priority Mail.

When arrived to destination country no information is given in real time.

The status is updated one day after the package delivery

With Express mail , you may pay customs because your local parcel service (who handles the package in your country) will present your package to custom.

You just have to be patient ...

[Nook Color General] syncron:
You're not going to be able to register NOOKcolor outside of the US without a proxy. Unlike the classic nook, the NOOKcolor is essentially a paperweight if you don't register it.
[Nook Color General] mrintegrity:
I intend to

1. root it

2. install another os

3. hw mod it

So i don't really care about B&N online services really.

[Nook Color General] king conan:
False. I registered in Spain without problems. You can't buy books out of usa, but you can register the device.
[Nook Color General] clockcycle:
Once USPS transfers the package to an international carrier, they loose control of it..

[Nook Color General] graymulligan:
It's on a plane.
[Nook Color General] mrintegrity:
Your item cleared customs at 10:29 pm on December 10, 2010. Information, if available, is updated periodically throughout the day. Please check again later.

:D probably will get it on monday (will have to go into work early so i can get home and see it :))

Unfortunately my Dad was kind enough to write the true value on the package so I will probably have to pay import duty and sales tax in sweden (another 100usd probably).

i recomend u get a router so support dd-wrt and install dd-wrt and get a strongvpn.com vpn acount whit us ip, it is i fixt my problem whit my old nook,

now in swe translation

jag rekomenderar du köper en bilig router som dd-wrt stöder, sen installera dd-wrt på den sen gå till www.strongvpn.com köp ett americanskt ip med pptp stöd med fast ip rekomenderar jag det är enklaste att seta upp på dd-wrt anars kan det hända du behöver köra script i din dd-wrt, sen kopplar du upp dig med wifi till dd-wrt routern nu har du mericansk ip, nu kan du prenumera på tidningar och köpa böker, plus du har nu så du kan köra hulu.com på din dator
[Nook Color General] princezinox:
fellas...my NC is 24 hrs away from my waiting hands in Nigeria!!!!! well I've read that its also impossible to register the device outside the US..I hope that is just a ruse..anyways I've also ordered a linksys router with a mod for strongvpn. my strongvpn acct is already set up so i'll try registering it without the vpn tomorrow..if it doesnt work i'll wait for the router to arrive...! Wish me luck...!

I am about to send a nook color from the states to europe. I will be using USPS because it is cheaper than the rest. What type of service should I use to send my Nook (the safest I mean, and fastest that is still cheap) from USPS? Thank you
[Nook Color General] mrintegrity:
I think my dad used express international. The tracking info works to some extent but when it shows "out for delivery" they really mean that they are sending it between post offices and you should probably not sit at home and wait for the postman :P

Ok I think the battery is better everyday Im on DK28,so I went to check in "android system info" (far better than spare parts,actully has the same thing as spareparts++++) and looked at my cpu speed log,and noticed it never went to 600mhz,then looked at setcpu,yep no 600mhz speed step in DK28 kernel...

I also noticed if you change the build.prop and put screen density to 200-210 you will notice about 95% less checkerboarding in the browser,almost non at all,dont ask me why.

Me and a friend are sitin here brain storming some ideas on some android projects,and I bring this up to him about no 600mhz,,,he say it is in attempt to save battery,well I sorta figured.Then I brought up the cpu log again,and it looks like this,100mhz 39%,200mhz 14%,400mhz 33%,800mhz 8%,1000mhz 6%,and Ive been doing some serious stuff with the phone today,,,so it scales up very little,but still maintains serious performance and great battery life.

[Nook Color General] califrag:
this is what fixed it, it is a known issue that when the sdk updates using the sdk manager it replaces the adb_usb.ini with this file. you can manually edit it or just run 'android update adb' in command prompt to fix it. just fyi
[Nook Color General] moovius:
I've never had an issue with adb_usb.ini being altered. I always check it before another adb attempt.

I went through the lists posted in here and came up with the same result on my win 7 64 bit setup. Disabling driver signing, uninstalling usb composite as well as removing the android composite adb interface and reinstalling.

I still need a way to confirm my nooter img has written correctly. There is no way to confirm this other than following the steps very precisely.

It just gets me angry *kicks nook*.
[Nook Color General] madsci73915:
I had the ini file get changed after I uninstalled the drivers and reinstalled them.
[Nook Color General] edison:
Un-/re-installed the drivers via Device Mangler or the SDK Manager?
[Nook Color General] edison:
Same here. That's why I was so mystified when it changed this time.

Remember, I was going from memory, which was pretty fried after the previous 12 hours of fiddling. There may be another combination or step I missed.

Does your NC wake up to a blank screen when booting from the SD card?

To check the actual SD card, pop it back in your PC. It should have a regular 40MB FAT partition that Win7 can read. If you want, you can use DISKPART from the shell to verify the partition. It should go something like this:

C:\> DISKPART
DISKPART> list disk
DISKPART> select disk N <-- your SD card from the list above
DISKPART> list partition

You should see the 40MB partition listed, although I don't have a screen grab to show. I just reformatted my SD card 'cause the Kindle app requires one and I didn't have an extra spare, but I can either pick one up today or re-image it

Hang in there, moovius, we'll figure this out! I *completely* understand your frustration, but persistence and tenacity will pay off!

OOC, do you have another computer you can try this on?
[Nook Color General] moovius:
I had one of the guys from #nookdevs remoting my computer and even he was stumped.

I gave up on windows and downloaded Ubuntu Livecd:

1. From Ubuntu, I re-did the nooter img on the nook to make sure that it wasnt the issue behind all of this.

2. I spent 2-3 hours being instructed on how to work Ubuntu and run commands from the terminal. (That wiki really assumes a lot, it's hardly a step-by-step method, even this Linux expert was stumped with some of the instructions.)

3. Finally was able to see the nook with the adb device listing command.

4. Loaded z4 for Super User privileges, and added 5-6 more apps to test out.

5. Restarted my computer while playing around with the new programs on the nook.

6. Tried accessing the nook through win7 again, but no luck. Uninstalled the driver, etc, tried several things, still wouldnt work from windows. Tried from my win7 netbook also, but no dice.

Something either in my win7 installs or in my computer configurations is preventing communication between pc and nook color.

At least Ubuntu works.

[Nook Color General] edison:
Congrats! Glad to hear you were at least able to do it through Ubuntu. Would be nice to figure out your Win7 machine, but there may indeed be something funky with your install/machine.
[Nook Color General] edison:
Hey Moovius, I just had something interesting happen.

I installed the NOOKdeveloper SDK and the android SDK Manager reported that ADP was updated and needed to be bounced. After that, I couldn't see or connect to my NC.

I ran the update again and it works. The Manager message mentioned updating ADB to support the device in the add-on package.

Might be worth a shot.

The SDK URL is http://www.barnesandnoble.com/nookcolor/developer/ - click on the "Add Add-on Site..." and slap it in there to get the SDK.

has anyone tried enabling the market with the autonook script? Im running Win7-64 and also had trouble rooting but got it to work. Cant figure this one out though. It either tells me I need to unmount my nook or that it can not write to the folder that the autonook file is in. Any help would be appreciated
[Nook Color General] edison:
I've successfully run the autonook script over a dozen times under Win7-64. Other than a minor redirect issue (a ">" in the comments creates a "My" file), it's worked like a champ.

Have you ejected BOTH of the NC removable drives before running autonook? Have you tried running autonook as administrator?
