[HOWTO] Make a Complete Backup of Your Nookie Froyo

Ok I've seen a Few People asking about Backing up Their NF Cards so here is a Simple way to Image your Entire Card for Backup Purposes. This Guide has Two Methods. One is for Windows Users, the other is for Linux users. Mac Users can lightly follow the Linux guide as Mac has DD as well.

Windows Users:

EDIT: This may Actually Not work because Windows doesn't Properly detect the Extra Partitions. If you have Problems let me know and I'll Investigate.

Download Win32DiskImager:HERE

(You Should already have this since you had to Burn Nookie Froyo)

Next Unzip it Anywhere, and Run the EXE

Now Select where you want to save your IMG file and choose a Name

Next Select Your Card's Mount Letter(ie:'E:')

Now Select "Read" NOT "WRITE"

Wait a Little While (The Program isn't Frozen!) Your Card should be Imaged (Partition Format and all) to the IMG file

Simply follow the Same Process to Restore but Choose "Write" instead

Linux Users:

This is a bit more Complicated then Windows and uses Terminal but since you've already Hacked your Nook I'll assume that that's fine since I've yet to find a Good GUI for Linux.

First Open Terminal

Next Find the Device Location for your Card (NOT the Mount Point) it should be in the "dev" directory (ie: Mine was "/dev/sdc") An easy way to find it (if you have Ubuntu) is to Open 'System-->Administration-->Disk Utility', Select your Device and then Look at the Top-Right Corner. It shouldn't have a number as numbers designate Partitions.

Now head back on over to Terminal and enter the following:

Note:Anything in Brackets'[]' is User Specific. Plus Remember to Remove the Brackets as well(ie: '/dev/[Location]'='/dev/sdc'

cd [The Location You want to save the Image]
sudo dd if=/dev/[Your Devices Location] of=./[Your Desired Name].img

NOTE:It may seem like nothing is happening but just give it time. Eventually you should receive a Message like this:

That's it you should now have an IMG file in whatever Directory you chose

To Restore Your Backup simply Follow the Same steps you used when first Creating your NF card but use your Backed-Up Image instead of the Default NF one

It may not be an Easily Browse-able File but it's a Good thing to do before you Upgrade in case something Bad happens.

Hope you enjoy! If you have any problems just ask me :)

GParted Equivilent for Mac

There should be other Partition Editors out their for Mac but I personally find that GParted is best at what it does. If you want, GParted actually has a LIVE Image ISO you can burn to CD and Boot, if you want to do it that way. I've tested it and it works fine that way and using GParted isn't hard at all just Select your Device in Top-Right Corner and then Right-Click the 'sdcard' Partition and Choose "Resize". After that I think you can figure it out.

You can find the GParted ISO:HERE

EDIT: Sorry I missed the Part about Vacation. If you go to the Same Site they have a How-To for making a Bootable USB drive. If you can't do that either you'll have to search Google for 'mac gui partition editor' and find a GParted Mac Equivelent.

EDIT2: Try Disc Utility for Mac Alternatives To GParted. I Glanced at it and it seems to do what you need and it's by Apple and comes with Mac so it should Function well.
[Nook Color Android Development] Canadoc:
Appreciate the help. Looked at diskutility and it is not capable i am sure there is a way to use terminal.other wise will try gparted when i get home.
[Nook Color Android Development] japzone:
Okay Two Questions.

1) Is there a way to mount the Nook Color's Internal Memory while using Nookie Froyo?

and

2) Is it just me or does the XDA App Crash consistantly for you guys too? I ask because I tried using it but whenever I Log-In and try to do something it crashes. If I don't log in it works fine, but that kindof defeats the purpose of using it.

PS: Also, Does anybody have an answer for my Landscape problem I've posted about several times with no response?
[Nook Color Android Development] superman_legendary:
Do you think this will be mostly done by January?
[Nook Color Android Development] kitzuki:
b&n said something about thier froyo release in january so you could most likely see something by the end of the month
[Nook Color Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
Well, if you can lend me your crystal ball for a few, i might be able to give you a better prediction, as opposed to SWAG....
[Nook Color Android Development] RoboRay:
Acutally, no, they didn't. Somebody else started a rumor that B&N would release Froyo in January and B&N then made a statement that debunked the rumor. The only thing B&N has said about Froyo is that they have plans to update the NC to it sometime in 2011.
[Nook Color Android Development] Musicman247:
Okay, let's set the record straight on this. Most people probably saw the Engadget Article, which stated Android 2.2 and Android Market were coming to Nook in January.

Their source was This Article From Smartphone Mag written by Steve Green. Steve says he met with a B&N employee who had the "forthcoming update" on his NookColor. Steve said it upgraded the device to Android 2.2, had pinch to zoom in the browser and a more traditional Android Home screen.

Engadget's update states that a B&N rep said the full Android Market would not be included in the update,

but did not debunk that the 2.2 update was coming in January

.
[Nook Color Android Development] gtriever:
And, let's set the record a little straighter... B&N actually hinted that the upgrade and app store would most likely come in

Q1 2011

, not in January.
[Vibrant General] smashpunks:
I love this damn phone. I dont know about yall, but I could give a **** about stock 2.2 our any of the other newer phones out.. This puppy is a beast running team whiskey, master, and eugenes roms...

These do so much, phone, browser with full flash, gps (yes mine works great), alarm, games, camera, video camera, movie player, mp3 player etc. phones do so damn much, its fun as **** trying out all these fun mods that these great developers make for our bad ass phone....

What else yall use these bad ass toys for? I love mine and had it on day 1 release
[Vibrant General] ZombiiBite:
I've had mine for 2 weeks and I'm still trying to figure out everything. (I still need to get the balls to root it so I can enjoy those sweet roms)
[Vibrant General] bdubs4200:
+1 beside the stock part:-) (if it runs on android im interested)

sgsV Nero-DoW1.4 OC
[Vibrant General] ZachLL88:
Love mine as well!!
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
You can love it all you want, but unless you heavily MOD this phone up (Root + Lagfix and more often than not a Custom ROM), the out of box experience is similar to these.

All of these lag/free/blackscreen issues still exist on JI6 for the Vibrant. I may put a video on YouTube with a demonstration soon, cause it's a myth, apparently.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cB1b0UrX9e0

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2do065zuSUI
[Vibrant General] Gigamaster89:
This is kind of ironic...

I was just going to post how my stock JI6 vibrant is running pretty well; I opened and closed a bunch of stuff in a short period of time, but then tried to open the gallery and bam, my phone froze. No response from the keys, then I went to lock the phone, but it never turned back on.

Just did a battery pull :(
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
I've had mine freeze up and require a battery pull just swiping to another home screen.
[Vibrant General] ZachLL88:
im running stock ji6, no problems ever, with gps, gallery, lags.

Both of the youtube vids are with the i9000.
[Vibrant General] ZachLL88:
Maybe the vibrant just works great in Oregon! =)
[Vibrant General] epakrat75:
I think if it's going to "just work" anywhere it should be either Mountain View, CA or Cupertino, CA. :D
[Vibrant General] Wykedx:
you won't regret it..learn all the ins and outs of rooting and you will constantly be flashing roms, which never gets old
[Vibrant General] cyberbillp:
When mine behaves like that I unload some apps. Even though it has 16 gigs, it seems you really can't just add apps until it's full.

I also suspect there is some kind of multitasking pre-emption problem too. For example, when you install an app, the phone virtually freezes when it's actually writing the app to disk. Maybe it's just a disk format or sd driver problem.
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
The same issues on every other Gs.

Why do lag fixes exist, if not?
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
No. these phones have terrible I/O performance. Notice in thr video when she runs twicca it freezes while loading data (most likely from cache). It's due to the RFS filesystem Samsung uses.

The fact that those are i9k's doesn't change anything. All the stock Galaxy S phones have this issue, save for the Nexus.
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
This is a problem on JI6. Nothing short of a different firmware version will fix the pause when installing apps. Not a "lag fix" either.

I have no problems with my Vibrant. Trolls will Troll because that's what they do, but the 0.001% of owners here don't give a good idea of what regular owners really think. The ones that consistently complain about how horrible the phone is and continues to use it, even after claiming to have sold it or will be, should just be ignored. There is an ulterior motive here.

I have stock JL5, and it runs great. JI6 has a problem with the Gallery, well known and I posted a solution for it already. But JL5 is running so good there really isn't much reason to be running JI6 over it.
[Vibrant General] pavvy:
Geez, my phone sure has never behaved like that (thankfully!); and I'm "out of the box." I can see how it would drive you nuts, lead you to "lag-fixes," etc.! Just want to point out that the problem sure ain't universal, for whatever reason. (I don't have a ton of apps installed; I wonder if that makes a difference.)

Occasionally, there will be a slight pause when opening an app or something, but it doesn't ruin my day...
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
Like I said in another thread... My YouTube video will be up soon :)
[Vibrant General] ZombiiBite:
I keep getting nervous about rooting, because I see people who write stuff in these and phandroid's forums about peoples phones starting to act weird right after they do it. I'm also worried about how to do updates to newer versions of android, and how make sure I have my contacts backed up because my buddy did his EVO and told me he lost all hiscontacts and wasn't able to sync them with google. PLEASE POINT ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION SOMEONE!
[Vibrant General] PaiPiePia:
First time owning a smartphone and first time owning an Android phone, I rooted the phone on day one, nothing bad happened. All I gained are benefits, adblock, costume roms (froyo 2.2), root explorer, voodoo, etc
[Vibrant General] ZombiiBite:
Yeah, I've had it for two weeks and love it! I can only imagine how much better it'll be when I do root it. Should I just follow the tutorial on here? And then what roms does everyone suggest?
[Vibrant General] eminembdg:
You're holding it wrong lol lol j/k

but for real.. stop being scared, root it...and ROM that thing and you'll never think of it as laggy or slow EVER AGAIN!
[Vibrant General] Plato56:
OMG, YES ROOT THIS THING !!!! This is a good phone out of the box, but where it realy shines is with all the custom ROM stuff. Roms take a good phone and make it into something realy great.

I absolutly love my Vibrant. I tried playing with some other phones in the past few weeks, but I could never go back to a non AMOLED.
[Vibrant General] danow11:
Imho this phone is great.

First android phone and its definitely very interesting and if yoir like me and constantly likes to mess with stuff aka flash roms, increase your understanding, rooting is for you.

There definitely will be times where your like oh **** whay did I do, but you'll figure out to fix it and be more confident the next time.

I guess I also forgot to say that rooting it unlocks a whole lot more that makes the phone function better, and just generally cooler.
[Vibrant General] bdveteran18:
Had mine since day 2 and still loving it. Didn't really start having gps problems till I rooted it but now this bad boy is heavily modded and running custom ROM's from TW so we're never going back to stock.
[Vibrant General] kizer:
Not that I'm promoting one Rom over another, but anyways took plunge and gave Voodoo a try with Nero3. Oh My Gawd.

Speed, speed, speed. I feel like this what my phone should of been from day one. I'm pretty sure if it hadn't of been for the Devs here on XDA I more than likely would of left my phone on a wall somewhere and said I'm done.

Now its been several months I'm super happy, but to bad the rest of the owners out there either are to scared to try it or don't know they can.
[Intercept General] BuddahWolf01:
So I know the Intercept and the Transform are similar phones. Since the Transform doesn't have a forum area and both our communities seem kinda small right now... what do you think of having both phones in this one area?
[Intercept General] bigwooly:
if the development is cross platform sounds good to me but it may be better to see if the mod could create some sub forums or something for the whole line.

Considering the moment (m900), intercept (m910), and transform (m920) are all in the same product line.

However they are all different hardware so it would most likely not be benifical.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] mnglfiddle:
I have looked through the threads for an answer to this and can't seem to find one. Only one thread mentions someone using the Kindle app on the htc wildfire, but never mentions how he managed to get the app in the first place.

I use the app some on my iPod Touch, and like it for a few books I have purchased through Amazon, and would like to use the Kindle app on my phone.

However, it does not show up even in the patched Google Market App. Any ideas how I might get the app? Or if any have tried it and found it just doesn't work? I am presently using the new WildPuzzle v0.3 (Android 2.2.1). Thanks in advance.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] Alex_GP:
I have Kindle for Android in the Marketplace. Just searched for kindle on WildPuzzle 2.2.1 v0.1 with the non patched market.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] mnglfiddle:
Thanks for the reply - problem solved.

Thanks. However, for some reason it is nowhere to be found in my Market app. Oh well, I found it hosted on Mediafire.com, and downloaded it from there. Works fine.

[G Tablet General] CARMELHILL:
Looks like Motorola will be the first company to successfully make a 10" tablet using Honeycomb, if their Youtube video is any indication,

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=quI2I8wLPdc

and some of the other hype,

http://mashable.com/2010/12/06/android-motorola-tablet/

When Honeycomb comes out, will we be able to benefit on the G Tablet? Will it be easy to install it on our machines?
[G Tablet General] webby_s:
Assuming Honeycomb will be as open source as any other Android OS then the short answer should be yes! If we can run an AOSP on the gTab then Honeycomb should work flawlessly!

Can't wait!
[G Tablet General] Droid_X_Lyfe:
Im hoping that VS will get a stock rom for us when google releases it into the wild. Vs seems to want to make this device better and it only makes sense that an OS for tablets would be the best way to do it. Once they finally release the source image we will get an even better device. The guys are doing a great job now getting this thing flying VegaN is perfect for me right now. But an os optimized for dual core is going to be amazing!

Hello all,

I've buy Nokia N97 from china .... and as you all know that China phone come with their own OS ...

is it possible to change the China default os into Symbian/WinMO/Android OS??

what equipment i must have to do it ???
[General Topics] Diamond_dawg:
No you cant change it, atleast not on XDA
[General Topics] stephj:
You could try here:

http://europe.nokia.com/support/download-software/device-software-update/can-i-update

You will be stuck with the Symbian OS, but whether it will let you update it or not, or whether you can change the language or not , depends on lot of ifs and buts.

Give it a go.

The 'How to' tab will tell you what you need to attempt an upgrade.

Is it a clone down to the last resistor and diode, or a cheap and cheerful look and run alike, built out of just what happened to be languishing in the the inventory bins?
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] ThuggishSouljah:
Here it goes.

I have a G2 running Android 2.2.1 with CM 6.1.1

Vending.apk was originally 2.2.6 so I updated it to 2.2.7

Check version by going to Menu/Setting/Application/Manage applications/...

Look under Downloaded if not check under Running for Market. Click on it and check Market version (your version)

I tooked the Vending.apk file from Vending-2.2.7-signed-testkeys.update.zip and replaced it with the Vending.apk from Black_market_3.zip.

You can use 7zip,Winrar or any program that will access these files.

system/app/Vending.apk <- change this file.

Run BlackVending-2.2.7-signed-testkeys.update.zip on ROM Manager

Let you phone reboot check your market and let me know.

Over six themes have been tested and work.

I would like to Thank all developers and everyone that has made this possible. Thank you.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] EdTeach1680:
screen shots?
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] sino8r:
I recommend an explainer for blackmarket in the op. Most are unaware of it, imo. From us who do... nice work!

Wait a minute... if this blackmarket or the new market themed black, lol?

Nevermind... its just a themed market apk, oh well. Blackmarket is a warez related app so I better not bring it up nor would it be posted here. My bad...
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] philosophics:
if I am replacing vending.apk within Vending-2.2.7-signed-testkeys.update.zip, then wouldn't I be flashing that one instead?

Never mind. I figured out what you did...

Sidenote, can we not have this suitcase for an icon but have the original icon? That would be nice if it's possible...
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] sino8r:
I think he was just giving you an option for a themed one and regular 2.2.7... why there is a 3rd file is a mystery to me. In other words there are two black market apks that are the same version, lol! They are all 2.2.7... there is no need to flash one and then the other... very redundant...
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] ThuggishSouljah:
NEW FILES

There is no need to flash all three files.

BlackVending-2.2.7-signed-testkeys.update.zip is a working update with a black theme.

Vending-2.2.7-signed-testkeys.update.zip is just a normal udpate to 2.2.7

Black_market_3.zip is a update to a black theme market but, for some reason this file doesn't work for many.

Taking the Vending.apk file from Black_market_3.zip and copying/replacing the Vending.apk file from Vending-2.2.7-signed-testkeys.update.zip

I made a working BlackVending-2.2.7-signed-testkeys.update.zip files and others as well check the files below:
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badkittybebs:
Alright I've looked through the threads and I have yet to find anything that helps me with my problem or goes into enough detail. I rooted my phone and somehow my live wall paper isn't working. On my phone I go into manage applications and it has com.android.wallpaper.livepicker

For some reason it says total 0, applications 0, and data 0 so that seems like a bad thing. But I am sure my livewallpapers are still here because when I press and hold one of my bottons on the bottom menu from LauncherPro and go to activities it shows android live wallpapers and there it lists grass, galaxy, water, and polar clock settings. But when I go to wallpaper to change my wallpaper it doesn't show live wallpaper option.

Here is the thing, my husband has the exact same phone and it is rooted and his shows live wallpaper still. So is there a way I can get it from him to make it work properly. Please help me! Thanks! :p
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silvertag:
The size is ok it is all 0. Backup your apps/contact and try a factory reset, see if that helps correct the issue.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avgjoegeek:
Or see if it is a Launcher Pro issue - get Home Switcher and go back to TouchWiz as your launcher and see if they start showing up there.

Worse case scenario is you do a factory wipe/reset and that should fix it (Back Up your Data First!!)

its my first time playing with android and i would appreciate if anyone could help me out here. I've read i think almost all the relevant problems and solution out there to help but i am really confused by all of them. what i need is a simple and clear way of doing it. step by step would really be perfect.

Did you install a custom recovery like Clockworkmod?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keitaro1986:
hi Sleef,

i don't think i have. could you guide me in installing one? thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sleef:
I assume it would involve using adb to push it to your phone and beyond that, I'd probably have to do as much reading as you to be up to speed on how to do that.

Check the stickies in the development section. I'm willing to bet that somewhere in there will be the files you need and some instructions on how to make it all happen.

It'll be worth your while to brush up on using adb.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keitaro1986:
thanks sleef,

right now i am trying to use the sdb to push the clockworkmod. but the problem is the adb does not recognize my phone.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okidongkii:
i have the same problem on my desire z,

i need help :(
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
If you have adb setup correctly on your PC, then you should be able to boot the phone into fastboot mode (hold down the trackpad button and press Power, with it turned off), and then when you plug it into the PC, you can do "fastboot devices" and get it to see your phone.

If you have got fastboot working, and you have the engineering hboot installed, then you can do "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" to flasha new recovery image. You can get the Clockwork image for Vision from http://koush.tandtgaming.com/recoveries/ (2.5.1.3 is the latest).
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sleef:
Thanks for stepping in. I wasn't sure how much more I could say without making the problem worse.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keitaro1986:
i guess my adb is working on the PC. For the fastboot mode, can i enter it by holding the power button and volume down, then enter fastboot mode? is that the same?

my main problem is that adb does not detect the phone currently, this prevents me from going further to save my phone.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
Yes, that's the other way of getting into fastboot. It should say "fastboot usb" on the phone screen if it's working properly.
