Awesome, is this a beta update from B&N themselves, or a community build? I too am curious about bluetooth, flash, etc..
[Nook Color Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
Very exciting stuff here guys...cannot wait to try an alpha build!

I wonder, if you get a problem, does the 8 reboot trick still fully restore the system to stock?
[Nook Color Android Development] h8rift:
Its going to be a home-cooked ROM, probably built off of ASOP or from a Nexus One build. I'm game for anything! :).

Thanks,

-h8
[Nook Color Android Development] h8rift:
since its built by booting off the sdcard....should just have to shut off, remove SD, then boot back up! Simple as that!
[Nook Color Android Development] amp711:
This is great news guys! Keep up the amazing work!
[Nook Color Android Development] here.david:
WOW! I hope santa is coming to town....:D...BTW, My 1st trip to B&N with my newly rooted NC and as soon as I went in a message appeared on the screen and asked if I want to log into B&N then as I did the 1st thing it did was offer a FREE drink...Download free books and read a few free ones too.......
[Nook Color Android Development] Canadoc:
will flash work?
[Nook Color Android Development] fprice02:
Android 2.2 = Working Flash. BLUF yes
[Nook Color Android Development] Canadoc:
2.2 does not mean working flash, but rather you cant have working flash without 2.2
[Nook Color Android Development] suzook:
So are we looking at a few days? Or weeks? I dont expect an exact timeframe, just curious, and anxious. Thanks.

there it is. thanks! tell me if you want me to post the specs.
[Off-topic] MacaronyMax:
Spec's wise either 2 or 3 then :D Although I'm guessing the only difference between those 2 is the colours...
[Off-topic] iynfynity:
hey thanks for that. I haven't used an AMD processors.
[Off-topic] Purple Drama Llama:
But #2 is shiny...... :(
[Off-topic] iynfynity:
lol the difference is 100 bucks so maybe i'll go with the one that's not shiny.
[Off-topic] Purple Drama Llama:
You WILL get the shiny one, no matter how much more it costs, the shiny one is always better than "biscotti"

[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Beatle405:
Does anyone know how to make the lower buttons, back, menu, search, and home buttons not light up when I receive a message our missed call while using the NoLED app?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] seriouslyjeff:
I don't believe there is that option within the NoLED app. The BLN has to be built into the Kernel I believe.... I'm sure there will soon enough be a supporting Kernel for this as there is much support for the Galaxy series phones and this sort of thing. As I am not a dev I have no idea how easy/hard it would be but I cant wait
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] ikon8:
The op was trying to turn the lights off not on. As far as I know it just needs to be updated for gingerbread/ns so that the bottom lights don't turn on. You can follow the original app thread here. It looks like the dev won't be working on it til after the holidays.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Leos1488:
Why not to use the flash led as in the desire?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] tekkitan:
As in the camera flash? Well if your phone is laying on it, that probably doesn't work too well :)

Plus that LED is bright. Not sure what it's power requirements are compared to using NoLED.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] rodneygoff:
Could someone just blink the menu buttons as a notifier?

Sent from Rodney's Nexus S
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] knytphal:
That's what Back Light Notification (BLN) is and it needs a supporting kernel to be ported over.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] onthecouchagain:
Didn't want to start a whole new thread just to ask a question, but for whatever reason, NoLED doesn't work for me. I'm on Android 2.3.1 running stock (not LP or AWD). I've read the FAQ and I believe I have everything set up correctly. I call myself and miss it and I've emailed myself (different accounts) to test it, but I don't get anything on my black screen.

SOS?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] bcl0328:
did you use the widget to turn it on or restart the phone? personally i don't like it, i had my phone fully charged and had about 4 notifications bouncing around, not sure if thats a lot but it drained my battery to 16% in about 3 hours.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] ikon8:
Did you go into NoLed settings and under "Toggle Settings" checked off the notifications you want?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] thepoetvd776:
Yeah my battery also feels like it's draining quickly put I never thought our was because if this, since they say it's good for these types of screens, but note I'm thinking it may be this app. What other alternatives exist to get some sort if notifications for the nexus s?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] unremarked:
I honestly doubt its the app. Blacks on SAMOLED consume nearly 0 power.

Check your apps power consumption under Menu > Settings > About Phone > Battery Use.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] thepoetvd776:
My phone says 53% display. It can't ber because I haven't even used my phone the whole day, yet I know I had some notifications with noled.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] unremarked:
Display will always be the highest under almost every circumstance, regardless if you had the app or not.

If anything is higher than display, I'd be super concerned.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] sporran:
I use noled on my Nexus S and it works fine for all notifications except twitter for some reason,no noticeable drain on battery with this app!
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] onthecouchagain:
Yes to both. I have the widget set to "on," restarted my phone, and before, made sure all the settings were correct.

Still, nothing shows up after sending myself emails and giving myself calls (didnt' pick up, of course).

Doesn't seem to work; I'm running 2.3.1 with stock launcher.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] onthecouchagain:
Just read the FAQ. It's the "No Lock" app that's preventing NoLED from functioning. That's a shame because sometimes when I'm at home, I dislike having to swipe or enter my pattern key to unlock the phone.

NoLED works fine now. Thanks y'all.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] redhatyellow:
NoLED keeps force-closing on me! So annoying. Anything else similar that works entirely on NS?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] onthecouchagain:
It's forced closed on me a few times as well.

I'm finding I don't really need NoLED. I prefer having No Lock capabilities. Oh well.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] xspyda:
No lock capabilities?

Edit : ignore that, just read up the page!
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] onthecouchagain:
Since starting to use noLED, anyone else noticing they're having trouble moving icons on their home screens? Have noLED on and long press an icon on your home screen and try to move it somewhere else. After letting go, it either reverts back to where it was, or it disappears! Even without being anywhere near the trash can.

I'm going to uninstall noLED and see if I can recreate this problem. If so, then it's not even noLED-related. However, I only experienced this after installing/using noLED. Anyone else?

Gingerbread is chalk full of glitches.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] thepoetvd776:
I decided to turn off NOLED yesterday night just to see how my batter would react.

So far 14h 30mins and I'm at 31% battery level.

I have used the phone moderately to go online, and such.

Display 26%

Maps 15%

Android System 13%

Those are my top 3 processes. Its a bit wierd that Maps is taking so much when I haven't used it. Anyways, I see the display hogging much less battery than before when I used NOLED.

I wonder if there is any other alternative to this, because if not I guess I might still have to use it because I need something to see when my notifications come in.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] dinan:
I'm noticing maps taking up a lot of battery percentage too... it has a very large "keep awake" time, usually in the 2 hour range after a day off the charger. I think it's a bug though, since when I check with System Panel, it reports google maps isn't using any of the processor at all, and my battery life seems to be fine... went 18 hours off the charger yesterday with 2 hours of display time, 20 mins of calls, etc. and still had around 30% left.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] nxt:
The official NoLED thread is here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=730692

There is a beta that disables the soft button lights.

Unfortunately, does not work on my Nexus S. That's why it's a beta lol. I did post a reply on that thread saying so.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] stephylee09:
Buttons

Has anyone come across a way to make the function buttons not light up? I Have looked at the official thread a bit....but there is honestly entirely too much for me to go through to find an answer. I know there is an option in the NOLED app that disables the backlight for the buttons...but it doesn't work for my Nexus S (3G GSM running OS 4.0.3). Does the app need to be udpated for ICS for the backlight to not come on? It's draining the heck out of my battery! (it's almost noon here and I'm at 30% battery left).
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] vansmack:
From the NOLed FAQ:

Q: I'm using the Nexus S. The capacitive buttons stay on when NoLED is displaying a notification, any fix?

A: This is a known bug in the Nexus S. Until Google releases a patch to fix this error, there isn't much I can do to help.

More info on this particular bug can be found at: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=13299
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Quitob1:
Backlight keys used to be off!

I too have the Nexus S 4G and just a week or two ago, I could have sworn that my backlight keys were indeed turning off, but since the past two days I've noticed that they are now staying on and can't get them to turn back off. I can't recall if I've done anything different. Does anyone else out there have the NS4G with their backlight buttons stay OFF during notifications, and what is your setup?

Thanks in advance.

Teaser screenshot!!!!

And yes thats a AOSP Lock Screen!!!! Lag and reboots are a thing of the past with GummyJAR

Not over-clocked!

Lock Pattern = Fixed and fixed right (when you wake your phone you will see this not the lockscreen then this!)
[Droid X General] chites:
Can't wait! Your work is amazing!!!!! I have used Apex and Fission but I always come back to your ROM. I love the Ginger-Bread theme work and AOSP feel. The only thing I would change is the implementation of a speed dial on the stock dialer. I use Dialer One as an alternative but would love a "hold to dial" AOSP look dialer... Is that even possible? Regardless of the dialer YOU ROCK! I can't wait to load 2.0. Thank you for all of your hard work.
[Droid X General] btucker2003:
I may have to check this out, im on apex now, but for only like a week. I am a fission loyalist but have heard nothing but groovy things about your rom.

I've decided to pop my DX ROM cherry with GummyJar. I hope you appreciate it. I wasn't an easy date.

Now, what sorts of things lie in store for a 2.0 release? Anything major or just primarily bug fixes? I'm trying to figure if I want to wait on it or just fire up 1.9.1.
[Droid X General] kejar31:
Just handed this out to testers, a release could happen as early as tonight

[Windows Phone 7 General] JoePR31:
I just finished having a very annoying discussion/debate with a Tmo store manager. I went in there to see what kind of sleeves they had for my HD7 and, when the manager came over to help, I noticed he owned a Nexus S. I commented on how disappointed I'd been by the Nexus S when I went over to Best Buy on launch day with the intention of buying one. He asked why...I gave him a small list of reasons, and long story short, he took personal offense with my Google/Samsung/Nexus S critiques and started bad mouthing "Windows" and "Windows Mobile 7".

Initially, I pointed out that there is no such thing...that it's Windows Phone 7. He said it means the same thing, and that "Windows" makes both of them. I told him that Windows is a product brand and didn't "make" anything....that yes, Microsoft created Windows Mobile and Windows Phone 7, but that they had next to nothing in common beyond that.

He told me Windows is Windows..and that the new Windows for phones is on "mobile" devices, so it's ok to call it Windows Mobile. He also said that to keep people from getting confused, he takes the time to explain how this Windows 7 is not the same as Windows 7 for their pc's. At that point all I could do was chuckle and verify that he was indeed the store manager...which he did.

I then wasted some more of my time by using Palm and WebOS as an example of how it's very inaccurate and misleading to lump a company's newest OS into the same category as whatever else they used before just because it's the same company. I also told him that he and his employees were doing Microsoft, its developers, all early adopters, and his customers a disservice by incorrectly referring to WP7 as Windows Mobile, if solely for the fact that the Windows Mobile name carries such a bad reputation with most consumers. In the end, we agreed to disagree...although I did tell him that I thought Tmo corporate would not approve of his disregard for accuracy when referring to Microsoft's latest OS. To that, he replied that all stores do it the same way.

Ok, sorry for my super sized rant. I just can't believe the attitude that Tmo employees have towards WP7 and Microsoft in general! If this is truly the approach that all TMOUS stores are taking, then they are single-handedly doing more to hurt WP7 than any Apple/Android fanboi ever could. Does my experience in this one store fall in line with what you all have seen at other stores? Or, do you all think that this really doesn't hurt WP7...that I'm overreacting?
[Windows Phone 7 General] jz9833:
I completely agree with you. Every T-Mobile store I walked into for a case / sleeve / screen protector the reps would just tell me how disappointed I would be in a couple weeks if I kept it. When i asked why they would always start refering to the HD2. I tired to explain to them this was a new OS, but most of the time they won't listen. One MANAGER went as far to say he won't let anyone buy them.

Every rep also is completely surprised I've had a Nexus ONE (which i miss) AND a Vibrant (hated the thing) and I still love my HD7 more than both of those phones.

Only 1 store i have been to have i felt i changed the position of the reps. All I had to do at that store was inform them iof what a zune pass was and they were amazed. I consider that a win, but it's something I should of never been forced to do.

MS really needs to step up and start requiring all carrier reps to try out the device as some sort of training program for the device. Once the reps try it out I'm sure the platform will really start to take off.
[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
as said in a different thread... people have this stigma around the Windows brand. Even though for many of them Windows has served them for a decade or more, they relate any issue to Windows. So bringing out a phone, they instantly see it as a "Windows" device because it carries the name "Windows Phone", and therefore instantly think it's full of bugs. They don't even take the time to see that it could smack them up side with the features alone.

I think MS has more work cut out for them beating off the stigma of the name, rather than actually having the device do it's job well...
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Nope. Its not that.

TMo stores are full of android fans.

They badmouth everytging ti sell you an android phone.

They even badmouth other android phones to sell u the latest one.

Theyre typically the least informed reps as well. Verizon and sprint reps are generally way more clued in than TMo.

AT&T are the least biased, though, but probably because they have the most variety. I've never felt pressured to buy any certain phone or type of phone in an AT&T store.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nrfitchett4:
I went to 2 different tmobile stores on hd7 launch day and neither one had the wp7 display out or even a demo unit. this was about 2pm on launch day. First store just told me: "yeah, we keep meaning to get that set up." Told them have a nice day, obviously, they weren't looking to sell me a phone. Went to the next one (usual one I do business with and had already had winmo discussions with their android fanboi CS) and they didn't have it set up either. The second store did grab a demo unit and let me play with it for a while without any pressure to buy.

I guess t-mobile has just become so android heavy, its all they know. When I showed off my hd2 to a CS rep, heavily modded with energy and lots of tweaks/ themes, he was impressed how smooth it was. It was then I was shocked to find out that the almighty vibrant required a root/ lagfix to make it smooth.

I don't have anything against android, but they really should know about all the phones they sell and most don't. I complained to t-mobile corporate about it, but as long as they are selling devices with 30 dollar data plans, I doubt they care.
[Windows Phone 7 General] JoePR31:
Everything you guys are saying is spot on. It's a combination of all of the above...and it's a major problem. My experience today was not the first time I'd experienced Android bias in a Tmo store, just the worst...and the first that was so blatantly anti-MS. I've never seen a company actively working against a product they sell on as large a scale as this appears to be. I wonder...is this due solely to employees who lack proper training...or if it's some kind of pro-Android corporate mandate?

I would love to hear some feedback from any TMOUS employee who happens to read this thread.
[Windows Phone 7 General] lekki:
Just posted to their twitter account and you should all do the same.

I think it's BS that they're trying to ruin the OS.

It's all well and good to complain on XDA but not everyone reads here. A lot more do on twitter.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Im changing carriers next month (a friend will etf my account for my nday instead of fetting me a zunehd, since I got one myself).

That works better than twitter, imo.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
I mean wow, I guess my local T-Mobile stores are the only ones that love money. Every one that I have been into has been neutral, and will talk to you about any phone. Of course they will put in their personal opinion, I see no harm in that. You can't let a few accusations on this board be a representation T-Mobile.
[Windows Phone 7 General] greenbrd:
OMG! It's not just T-Mobile!

All of the phones on display at my local Best Buy have stickers on the screens to represent screenshots instead of being plugged in and functional (what's up with that, BTW?).

So I asked the salesman if I could see a working Windows Phone.

He said there was no such thing as a working Windows Phone.

He said a lot of the Windows Phones they've sold have been returned because they keep crashing. He also said he didn't want to sell me one because he didn't want to have to process the return when I brought it back.

He also gave a quick speech about why I should get an Android instead, but I digress.

So apparently the conspiracy reaches beyond the T-Mobile stores.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
It's pretty widespread. It's not like we don't follow TMobile on Twitter or have them Liked in Facebook (because they may make announcements there that we miss while out and about, but can get the notification on our phones). Others are (and have) reporting similar issues in T-Mobile stores.

T-Mobile as a company is heavily biased towards Android. They sort of see themselves are the O.G.'s of Android Cell Phone carriers.

The fact that you have a decent store in your area is about as representative as the occurences described in this thread by other posters.

I've been posting for months about how T-Mobile rags on phones and platforms in order to sell you the CSR's prefered device.

The Vibrant was the next thing since sliced bread on release. The Minute the G2 and then MyTouch 4G was released, it became a problem device not recommended by the CSRs in all of the stores around here. God forbid you ask about a RIM or Windows Phone (HD2 or HD7). They look at you as if you're speaking a foreign language. How dare you request anything other than Android?!

Personally I buy the best phone for what I need at that time. When the Vibrant came out, I already had an HD2, and T-Mobile didn't have any other phones worth a ****, so I got the Vibrant. Needed a phone with multi-touch in more than a few apps, and up to date first party applications + Exchange connectivity (Facebook, Twitter, etc. official Clients).

That, and real flash was a deciding factor. Samsung did say FroYo was coming in a couple months before the phones were released, and I regrettably took their word for it. Also, 2.2 brings Push Notifications, which was another biggie for me.

I'm not necessarily loyal to any platform, so when I have to constantly deal with biased CSRs, it agravates the **** out of me.

Especially since I know more than they do, but I'm too nice to tell them to just "get the hell out of my face."
