[Nook Color General] ctos:
I am not a developer, and I know NC just rooted in few days but we have made great progress to make NC as a full function tablet. I am just curious to know how far we leave to have a CIFS supported kernel. :D

My dream is quite simple, I want my NC can play tons of video files in my NAS via wifi, so CIFS kernel is the first step to make it true.
[Nook Color General] juxtyce:
Kernel version

If someone can tell me the Android kernel version that is on the NookColor I can experiment with CIFS.

Thanks in advance,
[Nook Color General] ctos:
according Nookdevs,

Operating system	Android 2.1 (Eclair based on Linux kernel 2.6.29)
[Nook Color General] dascud:
If we can get CIFS support then we can use CIFS manager to mount shares locally.

and use rockplayer or the built in media player to play videos over wifi.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=756158

I wonder if we can compile the CIFS.ko module from the source released by B&N.

I will have a look over the weekend if time permits.
[Nook Color General] ctos:
hi dascud,

nice to hear you will have a try and waiting for your good news. :)
[Nook Color General] madrascafe:
i'm not a *nix developer, but since we can install Optware on the NC can we install the samba packages and achieve this?
[Nook Color General] cicada:
Samba is probably too fat for the nook. CIFS kernel support shouldn't bo difficult. Mounting the shares directly is way more efficient.
[Nook Color General] dascud:
So I downloaded the source and compiled the cifs module and the nls_utf8 modules.

modinfo shows that the modules version is

vermagic: 2.6.29-omap1 preempt mod_unload ARMv7 which matches with the running nook kernel.

Unfortunately no luck trying to insmod the modules. :(

I think the running kernel may have no support for loadable modules and we may need to recompile and replace the stock kernel for loadable module support.

If anyone else wants to give it a shot here are the links to the compiled modules.

[Nook Color General] clockworx:
I only dabble in Linux so I may be way off here, but I'm pretty sure there's loadable modules in the firmware that are being used.
[Nook Color General] dascud:
Ok. We have a working cifs.ko and nls_utf.ko :). I was able to mount my win7 share using cifs manager and play a few movies using mvideoplayer from the mounted share.

My initial problem seemed to be that I used the android ndk toolchain and the nook kernel is compiled with the codeSourcery toolchain.

After I re-compiled using the codeSourcery toolchain everything works (at least for now)

For those who want to try this.

Download the cifs.ko and nls_utf8.ko modules.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/16190398/cifs.ko

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/16190398/nls_utf8.ko

Mount /system as read write and create a directory under /system/lib called modules. Just copy the cifs.ko and nls_utf8.ko modules under this directory.

Type the following from your windows or linux console.

adb shell

#mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system

#su

#cd /system/lib

#mkdir modules

#exit

#exit

Now you are back in your windows or linux command prompt

adb push cifs.ko /system/lib/modules

adb push nls_utf8.ko /system/lib/modules

adb shell

#su

#insmod /system/lib/modules/cifs.ko

#insmod /system/lib/modules/nsl_utf8.ko

if everything went well you should see no errors.

#lsmod

(THis should give you a list of running modules)

You should see something like

nls_utf8 1856 0 - Live 0xbf153000

cifs 240060 0 - Live 0xbf113000

#exit

#exit

Download cifs_manager from the android market and follow the instructions from

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=756158

BTW, you can copy the modules anywhere you like even under /sdcard/modules but the default path used by cifs_manager is /system/lib/modules.
[Nook Color General] long2know:
Awesome! I am eager to try this out. I have CiFs working on my EvO and it rocks.
[Nook Color General] ctos:
Cool! Dascud, you are the man!

I will have a test after upgrading my NC to 1.0.1.

Thanks a million for your efforts!
[Nook Color General] rogerdugans:
Nice.

Installed the modules and cifs manager (which I haven't used before.)

Just set up a test share...

NC rebooted.

Booting again now, not sure what is up. I have not had any file sharing configured on my network for a while so its entirely possible that I have a share misconfigured or something not installed. Late now, so I will try more tomorrow.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sy-Net:
Hi guys.

I am hoping to get some help. I flashed a custom rom about 3 weeks ago from my favourite chef as there was a newer version released. After flashing said Rom I could no longer connect my phone via USB to PC. I would get a message on PC saying USB device not recognised or failed. Tried uninstalled Device centre, different USB and PC, but nothing, still the same error. So after all that tried hard reset and Task29. I then copyied the previously used Rom to my SDcard and installed from HSPL bootloader, but still the same.

I have noticed over the last week or so, that when using WinMo instead of Android, my battery will last 3-4 hours from a full charge, with Android I get 7-8 if I am lucky.

The last problem I have is when using WinMo and I want to lock the screen, it will lock and then come back on within 1 seconds time.

Can anyone help?

Thanx

Seg

P.S: I am not blaming the Chef of the ROM for this.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orangekid:
Here's what I would do:

1) run task29 (SD)

2) flash 2.15.50 radio

3) Flash a ROM you KNOW works (NRG, dutty, etc...) from SD

4) Hard-reset right after flash

try to hook up your USB and see if it works.

I have tried all this Fred, to no avail. Different cable, different usb sockets, different pc. Still nothing.

Bootloader mode doesn't change connection type when connected.

Tried all this previously mate, and still nothing. Trying again with a different ROM. I'll post back results.

Thanx guys

Still no joy, tried just about everything now.

The only way the screen will stay off is when it is plugged into charger, other than that it just dims after 10 seconds then brightens back up after 2 seconds.

Looks like the insurance will be gettinga call then.

Damn, this means I will have to use the spare Blackbery Curve we have, gutted.

[Click General] vman987:
I've downloaded and flashed KalimochoAz ROM and I loved it very much...except that i got used to the previous stock rom applications...now since this is froyo i dont think v1.6 applications would work in this one....

I need the following applications:(

1)Tattoo Smart Dialler

(cause I can't scroll down to contacts everytime I need to call someone....I have a huge contact list..)

2)HTC PEOPLE app...

(well i really dont have any problem with any contact application but...my contacts wont sync with facebook...i mean the contact display pics and their updates and all....HTC PEOPLE from tattoo would do that automatically and also used to sync contacts with google...)

3)HTC Tattoo MUSIC app...

(This one because its simple to use and also the playlist option was very simple...i tried downloading the file but when i installed it...the icons were all dispersed and the app wasn't working properly)

else can someone please suggest me some other good music apps...

4)This ROM has camera drivers working...I mean it shows the pic preview but fails SD card conversion....will there be a solution for this??

Thanks in advance....:D
[Click General] mannas:
The apps that you refer need htc framework so you can't have then without using a sense rom.

About the camera you just have to wait until someone find a solution

try poweramp, dont know the playlists feature, but it is a really nice music player compared to the froyo one ;)

about the photo fix, no it isnt working yet,

the developer is now working on it..

and the htc "" app? you could try to download an rom with sense ui and there copy the HTC apks and copy then too your system folder ;)

just suggestions, i did not try the lower 2, i'm currently working on an miui rom :)
[Click General] Emurga:
Can you use a barcode scanner with this rom ?
[Click General] Malitai:
Nope, will never work. Autofocus is needed for that. Early specs of the Tattoo reclaim that aspect though the actual one has none. Wonder what happened with that?
[Click General] Emurga:
It works fine on mine ... even without af ... but I need a 4cm x 4cm minimum size qrcode ... I'm using it as a way to take some texts from my computer to my tattoo ...

As I do not use the fm radio and I only use the cam for scanning qrcode if this rom is able to show a preview It should decode qrcode ... That's what my post was about ...

[Android Software Development] mariu$:
What i dont understand is why there is no standalone flash player, like a mp4 player.

Application that will grab videos from webpages and view them in the player

It will be faster using hardware acceleration

And it would work on any version of android.
[Android Software Development] fonix232:
The Flash Player is proprietary of Adobe Corp., and licensed by them. If you want to use the technology's source, you have to pay them a lot. And also, the ARMv6 CPUs (what can be found in most of the Android devices) do not support full flash, as they miss some given instructions, what are in ARMv7 (thus, those phones can play flash).

You can't simply drop together a Flash player, because

a, You need the source (what isn't available)

b, You need the instructions set (what is only available under ARMv7 (ARM Cortex A8), and for those phones, there's already a player)

So simply, it isn't possible.
[Android Software Development] mariu$:
lets say i have a milestone 2.1

with a A8 processor

now i cant play flash player

to my knowledge the flash videos are in .flv format correct?

VLC player for desktop plays flv so whats the problem with android?
[Android Software Development] fonix232:
Flash Video (FLV) and Flash are two different technologies. For FLV playback, you need a codec of it, what is, of course, basically not part of AOSP android. If you dug yourself through a Samsung Galaxy S firmware, you will find the matching .so files, and also, edit /etc/pvplayer.cfg and include the flv indexes from the GalaxyS file.
[Android Software Development] mariu$:
i'm not a software creator so i cant make software

but there could be made a player that Catches FLV videos from the browser and then plays them?

[Nexus S General] gogol:
Well, it might have monkey glass :) Less strong ... but allright.

I wonder how tough it is. Many people thought it had Gorilla Glass and that was part of their reasoning behind not using a screen protector etc...

Now not knowing how tough it is I wonder if people will reconsider going "naked"
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
Yes, I assumed the same thing, but I've gone "naked" with all my smartphones for a couple of years and never scratched any of them except my very first iPhone original model.

I wonder why they skipped the Gorilla Glass...all the other Galaxy S models have it. Maybe GG doesn't do the curve well?
[Nexus S General] TheBiles:
I went naked with my EVO and never had a scratch. Just don't put it in your pocket with sand or car keys. Glass is very difficult to scratch.
[Nexus S General] calin75:
Looks like Google is starting to cut corners.
[Nexus S General] csmall:
They seem to have left out a bunch of things that were already present in the Galaxy S phones. Maybe to rush to market? Holiday sales?
[Nexus S General] calin75:
I thought Gorilla Glass was a given on all new phones since at least iphone 4 came out with it. My Streak, captivate, galaxy tab, they all came with it. It looks to me like a step backwards on the Nexus S. Man, I really want to like this phone but...

[Nexus S General] onthecouchagain:
I feel this is the general consensus, and while I don't doubt there are many happy adopters of the NS, I can't help but feel some people are making excuses to justify their purchase. For example, many say we don't "need" HSPA+. Let's be consistent: there are many things on the phone we don't need. Yet when weighed against the fact that all carriers are pushing for "4G" going into 2011, disappointment over the lack of it is perfectly justified.

I want to like the Nexus S, as well.
[Nexus S General] demo23019:
youtube scratch test please

Highly recommend realook to anyone thinking of getting a SP

not sure if NS version is out yet

But I have one on my vibrant and cant even tell i have a SP on
[Nexus S General] calin75:
I completely agree. Just because Google tells us that this is the best they could do this time, we have to bow down and take it; or find excuses to justify our purchase. That's why I got rid of my iphone; I was tired of making excuses about its limitations. I can forsee lots of buyer's remorse very soon.
[Nexus S General] dinan:
Well it's been reported that the MT4G doesn't have gorilla glass either... screen seems just as strong as my Vibrant's, but again, that's just my opinion... haven't actually tested it heh.
[Nexus S General] azn2050:
I have remorse right now.... and I dont even have the phone yet. Still deciding whether to ebay it for a small profit or just wait for patches or fixes to the current problems we are seeing
[Nexus S General] dogans:
I agree.

Google hasn't given any good reasons for people to go for a N:S instead of other phones (for example Galaxy S, which IMO still is better).
[Nexus S General] raeef:
I don't think anyone will force you to take something or even tell you to buy something that you don't like. For me I don't even have a data plan and in my country we don't have hsdpa+ so I don't care. For others it might be something important. Anyway based on what I saw on some review that made comparison between mt4g data speeds and NS, the difference "on average" wasn't large ( maybe around 1 mb). The problem rely more on network coverage and signal level, such high data speed rates drops very fast as soon as you move away from the tower.
[Nexus S General] samven582:
Same thing happen to me yesterday. My nexus had a 1cm scratch under the screen :eek:. I return it for a refund and order one online
[Nexus S General] highvista:
I read somewhere that the Nexus S doesn't have Gorilla Glass because it isn't possible/cost-effective to make the contoured screen from Gorilla Glass.
[Nexus S General] :
That's erroneous.
[Nexus S General] Matterhorn:
I believe this to be true. I am disappointed that it doesn't have a glass screen, however I imagine that they save some weight by not using glass as well.

The entire purchase was worth it just to get that sleep/on/off animation...
[Nexus S General] tenbeau:
Well said!! I did purchase one yesterday morning (after deluding myself such as you described above) and after using it (and the issues it has out of the box) I find I just want to go back to my Vibrant and Nexus one. Not degrading the phone it is just not worth the price paid to me. I bought it off contract. Had I paid the 199.00 I would probably have more of a debate with myself on whether to keep it or not.
[Nexus S General] AdamHart612:
My Evo is 100% blemish free 6mo later....screen protectors just mess with the feel of the screen IMO. Dont put your phone in a pocket with keys, lighter, etc etc and you will be just fine. I dont plan on using a case or screen protector and I have no doubts the phone will be just fine.
[Nexus S General] n1kki6:
Despite the short comings its the first android phone that hasn't pissed me off yet because of the carrier changes to the OS and that alone is worth me keeping it. I could get a N1 off ebay but at this point thats only going to save me a couple hundred bucks over the course of the next year, so I would rather roll with the NS until something else comes along.
[Nexus S General] ekerazha:
Every day there's something new that Nexus S doesn't have :(
[Nexus S General] littlesthobo:
Just because it doesn't have "Gorilla Glass" does not mean that it doesn't have a hard wearing scratch resistant glass screen. Gorilla glass is a trademark after all; Samsung may be using an alternative supplier.
[Nexus S General] csmall:
Agreed, but that trademark name/product has been tested/verified etc... we don't know how tough or weak the Nexus S screen is. Time will tell.
[Nexus S General] lilo777:
It has never been confirmed that iPhone 4 uses Gorilla Glass. In fcat, most likely it does not. In the reports about white iPhone delays it was reported that the glass manufacturer had problems with while color and the manufacturer was some non-name Chinese company.

The big plus to gorilla glass is the smoothness. If you look at the NS screen you will see lots of ripples and unevenness. Look at gorilla glass on any galaxy S phone and its smooth as silk.

[Nexus S General] TheBiles:
