[Nook Color General] Withfeeling:
I think there is one more reason that B&N will leave rooting alone. Even if rooters never buy a book from B&N, the volume of units sold tends to keep the cost down. For B&N, this is just a window of opportunity until more solid, Google-supported Android tablets become ubiquitous. Volume sold will be key for B&N remaining in the market for single purpose eReaders against Amazon. Moreover, if B&N has any aspirations of staying in the tablet market, the rooters are key early adopters.

If I were them, I would quietly support the rooter community. Any improvements they choose to adopt can be freely taken back by them with Open Source. One senior level engineer tracking the community will find ample opportunity to recover stuff to improve B&N's product. That could really help B&N to compete.
[Nook Color General] Novarider:
If they leave it alone it might actually GAIN them some sales from people like me(and other hackers) that wanted a tablet but didn't want to drop $600 or be stuck with a contract. When I found out the NC could be rooted and apps could be loaded and I bought one the same day. It's just an added bonus that this is also a nice e-reader as I was looking for one of those as well. I got both things I wanted for $249. Maybe they made it easy to root because they WANTED the word to get out that its pretty easy to root(which makes it like a tablet) to boost sales for people like us
[Nook Color General] Admiralvic:
I dont mean to sound like an ass, but we would be trend setters =P not early adopters
[Nook Color General] charlesquin:
I think the issue is if they are subsidizing the cost of the nook too much to gain sales.. At $250.00 price point, buying from best buy means they are selling them for what, $220 to BB? How are they actually making any money from the nook itself if everyones buying too root, and not buying ebooks..

That would be my concern.
[Nook Color General] Admiralvic:
you naturally assume that every rooter isnt going to be a reader... Many users said they planned on using it as a E-Reader first. There is also the fact that no matter how many books sell... The more people that use them, the more we will recognize the brand. Much like how you "Know an Ipad" they can gain the same affect.
[Nook Color General] sec6:
Updated at Midnight

I stated earlier that I thought the original root method might not be working after an OTA update I received last night. Well, I was wrong. Tried it again, and worked fine.
[Nook Color General] argie:
I rooted my NC and was reading using the Kindle app for Android... but the ability to go to a BN store, connect to their wifi, and read any book for up to one hour will make me buy BN books... Pricing is not an issue...
[Vibrant General] joe.kerwin:
I'm kind of on the go right now but just saw that they're playing with Touchwiz 2.2.1 and theyre saying samsung altered the kernel, and although still rfs, it's flying! don't know how or where whatever they installed came from but just read that.
[Vibrant General] AlexSochi8:
So Samsung made touchwiz faster did they update the interface?
[Vibrant General] joe.kerwin:
Like I said, I'm repeating the little I read and not adding any rumors too it. They are both saying 3-4x faster, fixing the IO problem before and showing 1255 quadrant bone stock, just rooted. Also thought I saw a mention of a POSSIBLE upload tonight.
[Vibrant General] Whitehawkx:
I thought I remember reading that 2.2.1 ditches RFS for something else.
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
I'm Pretty certain their talking about android 2.2.1.

Sounds like changes to I/o for faster Vibrant's too.
[Vibrant General] joe.kerwin:
Theyre saying touchwiz 2.2.1 which yeah it's just android 2.2.1 and just the corresponding touchwiz that skins it. And no, still RFS, they must be pretty firm on that, but they have optimized it, like I said 3-4x faster theyre saying it feels like. I'd like to think these guys have tried enough ROMs on their vibrants to know what 3-4x faster feels like, so I'm pretty confident this is great news.
[Vibrant General] jumaaneface:
UBIRFS is the new filesystem lol i odined the i9000 leak to play with and it is indeed amazing. cant wait for a hopefully soon tmo leak of it.
[Vibrant General] joe.kerwin:
Nice. Other then the obvious things that wouldn't work, like button mapping and such, hows it's stability?
[Vibrant General] epakrat75:
From Eugene's twitpic, he would seem to have acquired a 2.2.1 JL4 build with a baseband of JL1 still. :cool:
[Vibrant General] kboater:
so does this mean they got a new leak of a rom, or kernel?
[Vibrant General] epakrat75:
Yes. That must mean I wasn't clear enough in my post (#9) just before yours.
[Vibrant General] kboater:
thanks, did not see that before i posted
[Vibrant General] kboater:
so are leaks like this (or previous 2.2 leaks also) leaked from samsung or tmobile? I know we have all been blaming samsung for the delay in releasing 2.2 to us, so im wondering if samsung has released it to tmobile?

Basically, who is holding us up on the official update, Samsung or Tmobile? (or in other words, who to blame?)

either way, these developers are amazing. i would have thrown my phone in the toilet if it we not for the developers here at xda
[Vibrant General] kboater:
looks like they are making some good progress
[Vibrant General] kangxi:
I think they just need to release whatever they have and stop teasing/hoarding it. This is supposed to be a community. It's actually quite ridiculous.
[Vibrant General] dcontrol:
The leak is here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=865701

They're not hoarding or teasing, its not for the vibrant so it probably needs some massaging to get it fully working.
[Vibrant General] masterotaku:
Actually this is NOT what eugene and barak are tweeting about. They are tweeting about JL4 for the Vibrant. As to where they got this leak, well eugene has been able to get hold of leaks before so this isn't really a surprise.

As to the charges of hoarding or teasing, I don't recall eugene or barak ever owing me anything or anyone holding a gun to my head to follow their tweets.

Looking forward to seeing this in firmware myself, and I'm sure we all will have the opportunity soon.
[Vibrant General] AustinKnight45:
Ya here is a shot of it

http://twitpic.com/3efir7
[Vibrant General] kangxi:
Of course they don't owe use anything. But that's like someone discovering new firmware and choosing to talk about it rather than let everyone have a go at it. Wait, that's exactly what it is. No one else seems to have a problem with posting any new leaked firmware as soon as they discover them so why is this different?. The sooner it is posted, the sooner other devs can begin developing. That's the whole point of a community. Even if it is buggy I'm sure other devs are willing to sort it out for their releases.
[Vibrant General] rsfaze:
They already released their source.. what has been done with that? Just because someone has something others don't,releasing it to the community guarantee's nothing. Eugene and Barak do plenty for this community, even when they are being harassed about it which is not cool.

Hey, Im developing a web app with java servlets that can access an oracle database through the tomcat server. I am also developing an android app that I want to use to be able to display the information that is stored on this database.

I am just wondering how I do this or is it even possible with oracle & tomcat? If not what other databse/server should i use? The data will also have gps coordinates to display the items on a map.

Fairly new to this type of application

Thanks a mill
[HTC Aria General] L551:
Hello. My phone has a couple problems:

1. Android.process.acore uses a LOT of CPU time. It will frequently use 100% for a bit, making the phone slow. It has around 40 min cpu time, about double than any other process.

2. Wifi will stop working. Oh, it says it's connected, but it will not load anything. Takes a minute or two for it to work for a bit again, then do the same thing.

Anyone know what's wrong?

I have to use Odin and 512.pit file???

What's the set up of Odin for running it?

Hey, i want to buy htc desire and i hear they have a serious memory-card(SD) problem and RAM/ROM - the phone crashes! -some say that it happens in all Android designs! is that true?

Did HTC find the problem or was it a knewn bad series that they shipped out?

Also, do you have info about actuall life time of the battery? i have heard it dosnt hold for a day.

in android 2.2 :is there a support for Dvix and Xvid?

can the GPS get an addres orally without touching the phone?

what about the noise canceling in the conversation?

is there a review about the Android 2.3?

im new in the "touch" smart phones and just trying to avoid a bad deal.

thank you
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tailsthecat3:
using the new radio, my bars constantly disappear and then-theyll reappear until they disappear again.. its super annoying to see(to me anyway). i flashed the prior version 2.42.01.04.27, and it does not happen.

i noticed it happening when i would initiate a data connection, for example with facebook. i open fb, says loading, the bars disappear..then reappear in about three seconds...

anyone notice this on the NEW sw version? im using nfinites stock odex rom the .7 sw version. maybe the new radio doesnt agree with the old sw version? i dont know, im just spit ballin here...

any insight is appreciated.

thank you
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Yeah, mine did the same thing :confused: I ended up just flashing back to the old one.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moxlon69:
There are a lot of people reporting problems with the new radio, but there are

also a lot who have had no issues with it. I have access to two cdma hero

phones where I'm at, and flashed them both with identical roms, kernels, and

radio basebands. The only difference between the two phones is the installed

apps. That being said, the phone I use loses signal constantly, even on the old

baseband, where the other phone does not, even when sitting next to eachother

. The new radio definitely has issues, but some of these phones act different

than the rest, too.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c00ller:
Our phones really have 2 signal strengths. One for the network and one for data. When you're using data, I believe the bars switch to show the signal strength for data, which is usually worse for me too. I'm using CM6.1

If you're curious, this app Real Signal can show you both of these signal strengths in real time.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tailsthecat3:
thanks. checking out this app now...
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
That is exactly right. 3g and 2g (data and network) signal shows up differently, hence the fluctuation when you send a text, make a call, etc.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tailsthecat3:
i understand the evdo/1x.

i hate it.

when i receive a text or call it blasts to 1x real quick.

in the case of my original post, i start in 3g(evdo), bars get gray while displaying the 3g icon, then in a couple seconds they bocome colored and show some sort of signal...

couple older cdma phones i used to have i was able to increase the tx power, the power given to the antenna. is there any way to increase the poser given to the antenna?

thank you

p.s i hope i am being clear...maybe ill take some vid of it actually happening

[myTouch 4G General] Lakeshow423:
I just wanted to start a thread where all members can give tips and tricks on how to make our battery last longer. I know there is a “How long does your battery last” thread but we can just post here to help all members alike. Please post if you are permarooted, type of ROM, type of Kernal you are running. Please post the apps and setups you are also running to achieve this type of battery life.

Here’s my setup

S=off (permarooted)

Iced Glacier v1.11

Gorilla v.05 kernal

Oc’ed @1.4ghz

Screen Brightness set to 40%

Data sync every 1 hour

WiFi on, GPS off

The ROM I am on came with all the bloatware erased, so it was perfect. If you are running a stock ROM, first thing you should do is remove them. I then installed a app called SuperPower (dev. By a XDA member) which really helped a lot. You can setup times where you can have data on, wifi on, sync, screen brightness. Next install setcpu, this will help you overclock your cpu but more importantly, underclock your cpu. Heres my cpu settings.

Running: 1401/368

Screen off: 368/368

Battery under 50% 768/368

I also stopped using Advanced Task killer as I read it does more harm then good. Hopefully this thread will help out all members with their battery life!

Some screen shots I took. It shows what speed I'm running and it also shows that I have been off the charger for 15 hours and still have 45% left.
[myTouch 4G General] 2012iawait:
how do you set up data to sync every hour? and what theme is that?
[myTouch 4G General] rwald:
That's one of the features of SuperPower. It's a great app, even if you're not rooted.

Personally, I'm rooted but haven't installed any custom ROM or kernel; still, just having SetCPU underclock the phone when the screen's off is a huge savings, as well as SuperPower's ability to turn off wifi when it's not in use.
[myTouch 4G General] Lakeshow423:
I set it up in SuperPower. I'm using the Ice Glacier Rom with Launcher Pro Custom Docks :)
[myTouch 4G General] insaneoctane:
Great thread ! I like the idea of under clocking with screen off. But doesn't your display account for the vast majority of your battery usage? It seems like lowering the brightness would be the absolute best bang for your buck. Further, until the other items become a significant percent of your battery usage, you might be splitting hairs. Anyway thanks for the info, ill be downloading that app
[myTouch 4G General] crx4xharder:
I'm running iced glacier. Rooted with gorillas v.05 kernel. My battery last about 8 to 10 hours with heavy use. 5 hours of continuous use. 12 plus light use.

Sync/setup to my liking, no baterry savings here

6ps, wifi, bluetooth, location

All of unless needed

I charge my phone for 7 plus hours everyday. Since I can't shut it off without booting into recovery, I can't really charge it off, which is how most tutorials recommend you calibrate your battery.

I've noticed that wiping battery stats in clockworkmod recovery actually decreases battery life. I recommend simply charging the hell out of your phone when you can. I know I know its bad for the environment... SO IS PLASTIC! Lol
[myTouch 4G General] itmustbejj:
When I first flashed clockwork everytime I rebooted while the phone was plugged in it booted into recovery, but not when it was unplugged.

I read somewhere that reflashing clockwork helped fixed this so I reflashed it in rom manager once with no result, reflashing it a second time fixed the issue and my phone hasn't rebooted into recovery since.
[myTouch 4G General] ctakah27:
and does turning on the usb debugging also help, for real for real?
[myTouch 4G General] VolcanicSkunk:
De-Sensed Iced Glacier 1.2

Gr8Gorilla OC/UV Kernel 1.02: 806/245 On Demand Scaling (Only turn it up to game/bench/show off :D)

LauncherPro Plus: 7 Screens, 10 Widgets (4 are full screen, 4 of them update every hour)

All apps and games (including the big ones like Angry Birds, Pocket Legends, etc) are moved onto the phone, instead of sd

No Live Wallpaper

Brightness at 30%

Auto-Sync every hour with Facebook, Twitter, Google

Wi-Fi Calling (If you don't use this, you should! A constant connection with a wi-fi network is better than constantly searching for signal with the radio. Great battery saver for home/school/work.)

With this setup I haven't had to put my phone on a charger until the end of the day. Ever. I use my phone for a music player when I deliver pizzas and when I get home I have at least 60%. That is with the music, phone, and gaming during down-time (if I'm lucky :)). Then I can play away when I'm home with no worry of plugging it in until I go to bed.
[myTouch 4G General] Lakeshow423:
^^ great tip IRIS! I'm gonna start using the wifi calling when I'm at home. I live in the crappy area where it's constantly switching from edge and 3g. I started using the phone with heavy usage and I'm getting around 15 hours. I have the settings, updates, sync to my liking. I'm with crx on this one, use the phone!! Just charge the help out of it when you can
[myTouch 4G General] tharptx:
Hey Lakeshow423,

Regarding the screenshot in your OP, is that power control widget from SuperPower, Iced Glacier, or some other 3rd party app?

[myTouch 4G General] Jaskwith:
I found a link early on in my battery problem days.... And I think that this actually does help a lot when it comes to getting a battery that lasts longer. Given its hard to replicate the procedure, because of the CW bug that boots the phone into recovery..but I just charged it while it was in recovery(or I think if you turn fastboot on and charge it while its off, it doesn't boot into recovery.) and my battery life really has seen dramatic increase.... anyways here is the link...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=712990&highlight=battery

Note: I do realize that its in the EVO 4G forum, etc...but the letter is from HTC, concerning HTC batteries...So I tried it anyways, and I can't say I haven't seen the effects.
[myTouch 4G General] Foo_Blyat:
Ill just be blunt...

Dumfuqs smartass kernal

Auto sync off

Either 4g only or 2g only

Only use 3 of the 5 screens

Minimal Widgets

Pick and choose which you like and/or want to utilize.

I usually leave background data on now so I can have cool green icons
[myTouch 4G General] aznprodgy:
Yeah I switched to CM7 from IG 1.1.6 and noticed a drastic change in battery life using the same settings on both ROMs. IG display killed my battery(usually around 80%) while the display usage on CM7 is only around 8-10%
[myTouch 4G General] xdviper:
I always wanted to know why this is the case? Roms don't control how much power a display is supposed to take, but why does IG show more than CM?

after following different methods and how to's,I finally gained s-off with gfree 2. and it was so easy after I understood the process. currently usind gorilla dhd,with revolutionary theme (cuz I like the battery icon up-top and the semi-transparent notification), OCed at 14** max and 3** min with 3** max and 2** min when screen off,and underclocked at 8** max 3** min when battery under 30%.

better battery life now,a full day with heavy use, after a full night charge.

it freakin flyes!

p.s. I would like to thank xda,and ultimately the comunity for everything. without you guys none of my rooting experience would be possible.
[myTouch 4G General] ckisgen:
just an fyi - Iced Glacier also has an actual battery % icon in the status bar and a transparent notification shade. and Faux123 just released a 1.8ghz OC stock kernel for Sense ROMs that has the smartass gov built in along with several other nice extras. (smart ass gov automatically underclocks to your minimum set mhz while the screen is off among other things rendering profiles virtually obsolete) he's also working on incorporating HAVS (low voltage/even less power/longer battery life) into 0.3v that he told me he hopes to have released before Sunday!

this kernel and ROM is giving me an incredible mix of stability and performance

thanks for the info ckisgen,I never tried ice glacier,maybe cuz it is based on mysense,and I am a little tired of it now. that is why I jumped directly to gorilla dhd. but what u say sounds pretty awesome.

and about the battery,yesterday I looked at my phone,14%,after a while I looked again, the same
