[Nook Color General] Ravynmagi:
I've recalibrated the screen a few times. Even did the suggestion with placing the Nook face down for extreme sensitivity.

I still seem to be having the same problem where the touch is very unresponsive. It's most noticable browsing the web, I'll have to tap links multiple times before the browser does anything.

I'm wondering if I have a bad Nook or is this just how it is?
[Nook Color General] Tapiozona:
It could be the default browser. I had problems with unresponsive tapping as well but after switching to Dolphin Browser HD I havent really noticed them at all. However, it does seems like only certain apps or portions of them have problems with touch response...I can think of 2 off the top of my head..

1) The search icon in the Android Market. I have to really tap it hard or multiple times for it to open the search ability. Everything else in the market is a light, smooth, responsive tap, except the search ability.

2) ADW's settings menu, specifically the back button. Have to really hit it hard to work yet everything else works perfectly fine.

Maybe it's just me but I swear its only certain things which respond poorly to taps.

In regards to the screen being tacky, goto B&N and buy the Anti-Glare protective screen film. Make sure its the anti-glare one and not the regular screen protector. Not only will your fingers slide perfectly, but it also avoids all the annoying fingerprints the default glass seems to collect. Worth every penny. (You get 2 of them for 15 bucks)
[Nook Color General] bugeyed1:
I find that I have better luck ith a light touch & avoid a "tap". It took a bit of practice to know what part of my finger was actually making contact with the screen first & the reason for the perception that the screen was out of calibration.

I do have a problem with the center right area of the screen when playing crossword. Sometimes it is very hard to click on the rufgt side boxes. Interestingly, the same area of the screen is responsive in other apps.

Cheers,

[Nook Color General] deitiphobia:
I purchased the matte screen protector from them and it alleviated the tacky feel of the screen. Also resist oils and smudges so its a must have in my opinion.
[Nook Color General] deitiphobia:
I have the same problem at the very top edges of the screen. Pressing search in marketplace or a new tab in dolphin is really annoying. Requires many taps to work. Rest of screen seems to work fine. I did notice that the 2.2 Froyo was way worse for screen sensitivity. Maybe they can fix somehow with a firmware patch or something.
[Nook Color General] jerry_smith_80:
I have the same problem. Will try recalibrating later.
[Nook Color General] beanpoppa:
I don't think the market search button issue is a screen calibration issue. I initially thought there was an issue with the sensitivity/calibration in the top corner of the screen, but I have the same problem with market search when I am in portrait or landscape. Touching items in the same area of the screen in other apps is fine.
[Nook Color General] cal3thousand:
My screen is definitely more responsive after doing the commands.

I made sure to clean it completely with a microfiber cloth before running the commands.

As for the market search issue, it seems to have improved the sensitivity. In fact, to me it now feels as if I am getting the button push through, but it just takes time for the app to register it and take action (lag) and thus we think the button push did not go through and push it again...

my 2¢
[Nook Color General] DatterBoy:
A lot of the discussion on this thread is for locale based calibration, but I had the issue where if you hold still on a drag and drop, before dropping the thing you are holding is jittery, as thugh your finger was being jittery. This calibration fixed that problem.

Under the thought that this might happen again, would be nice if there was a way to run the command locally on the system without having to connect to adb to recalibrate.

Any ideas on how that could be done? I was thinking maybe scripted terminal commands?

Okay , I didnt quite know where to put this ..

i'm a newbie; like a newbie newbie .

So i'm familiar with like.. jailbreaking the ipod and what not .

And I had a ****ty phone up untill today .

I got the cricket huwaei ascend .

its pretty cheap, but its still a droid .

I rooted it .

whatever the hell that means ?

I assume its the same as jailbreaking an ipod or iphone .

Now that I rooted it .

I want to customize my theme .

i want to make it hellakool and crazy .

I dont really understand how to do this ?

I keep finding themes on the internet, but I dont know how to install them on my phone .

And I don't quite understand what a 'ROM' is ..

I have superuser .

and i'm kind of stuck .

Can someone help me add apps, a theme, explain what a rom is, etc .

thanks . :confused:
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
Having root on your phone means you can change /system files. It's not the same as jailbreaking. Jailbreaking on the iPhone means you can install 3rd party applications etc Apple doesn't approve of. Having root means you can switch out anything in your phone, you have administrative rights.

Customizing your Android phone depends on the popularity of the phone itself. You're kind of in the wrong section: Go to your phone's Android and Theme development forums and adress your issues there, you will most probably get more help than you will here.

A ROM is basically what your phone is running on, the system. You can think of it the same way you think about Windows or OSX. When it comes to Android phones there are a variety of ROMs which are built for specific devices. Go into your phones' Android Development thread and you'll see what I mean.

You get applications in the Market.

You get ROMs in Android Development. (Your phones section)

You get themes in Android Themes. (Your phones section)

Hope this is somewhat useful.
[Android Themes] domthedangerous:
That helped quite a bit .

Unfortunately , my phone isn't in the development thread :/

But I have my phone rooted, and I have ROM premium .

So perhaps I can explore a little bit until my phone gains popularity ..
[Android Themes] masterblaster451:
Well is quite simple. What are you looking to do with you phone? That's the question. I've explored many many options on how to make my HTC Eris. But ill tell you. Not knowing how to do these things was vary difficult. Xda and YouTube helped me out. At first I ran kaodroyo v38 but couldn't get it to load the Zip not untill someone told me to download rom manager, that saved ky time so much but i was vary unhappy with the camera and video not working. But in exploring I found calebfroyo v9 cam and video worked great but and a vary huge but.... the android market was gone. So back to kaosfroyo it was. Then I ran across Google apps tiny which reinstalled the missing apps. So now with calebfroyo and Google apps tiny everything works 98% battery lasts way longer cam and video work great, it runs faster than ever but but there is a bad lag from time to time. Now a trick if you plan on running calebfroyo v9. When the reboot loads into the second screen where is shows cryogenic wait for the phone to vibrate and press power of and then on and it will take you to the lock screen. Your ready to go. If you want an easy way to flash a custom kernal search YouTube. Vary vary vary simple. Saved me alot of confusing time.
[Android Themes] masterblaster451:
To dagthedangerous. To load a custom rom get onto you computer and download the rom you want. Then plug your phone into the comp as disk storage and drag and drop the downloaded file to your SD card but have it a stand alone file which means don't put it in a file but place it in the open. Now once loaded unplug your phone from comp. Download rom manager from market. Choose install custum rom. It will download clockwork for your computer. Then chose install rom again once you've done that you will scroll threw you SD card till youfind the zip(don't unzip the file just leave it as a zip file) and load it. Now your good to go. Your phone will install rom. For a custum kernal just search that threw YouTube. Once I did it took me 5 minutes to get the kernal going
[Android Themes] Greenfieldan:
I would recommend asking a few developers what your phone is similar to. One of my friends had a cricket phone he rooted that also wasn't here. A developer pointed out that it was very similar to another phone (I can't recall) and he pretty much hung out in that Dev section because he could flash most of their packages.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] obones:
Hello,

How can one distinguish between when the screen is off and when the phone itself is turned off?

I mean, with the screen off, a single press on the power button, makes it come back on again.

But when the device is off, a single press on the power button turns on the device.

I thought a long press would be needed to turn on the device, but a normal press is enough.

As a result, I can't distinguish between the two states and sometimes turn on the device when I would have liked to let it turned off because I did not remember if I turned it off already.

Thanks for your help

Sorry...wrong post
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diablo009:
Plus please take some time to go through "Development" forums reading through the various ROMs, and a couple pages that follow it. You should be able to make out which ROM suits you. Every person's opinion may be different about the ROMs here.

Don't mean to be rude, but before posting questions like this, please atleast open page 1 of the forums. You'll find threads explaining the steps to root and install ROMs.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mac11700:
Start by doing a lot of reading...you need to read everything you can about what interest you.When you get ready to make the change..make sure you follow the directions given by the book.

There is no "best rom" for every one...they...just as we...are all different.. what works for 1 person may not be "best"for another.....they all have their good points...but it is really up to you to determine what you want your phone to have on it...

Get started reading...

Mac
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avgjoegeek:
Could try reading the "sticky" up on top too.. might point you in the right direction to get you started.

I'd do the research first on how your phone works... THEN flash a ROM.

Usually a good rule to go by is seeing what the top 3 are and reading in there first to find out the +/- of that ROM are then flashing it to check it out.

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] labnjab:
I recently flashed Froshedyo to my eris and my fiances eris. I set up setcpu and auto killer its now on aggressive. Today uninstalled setcpu thinking that it was affecting battery life since my fiance mentioned that his battery went from 90 something to 54 in 30 mins. Mine went from fully charged to 61 in less than 3 hours. We dont use our phones heavily. I do use the internet most days but not for long periods of time. I did wipe the battery stats on both phones and still havent seen much of a difference.

My question is, is there anything else I can do to get really good battery life. Do I have to do the collins battery tweak because I was going to try that next or would I have to end up switching roms which I really dont want to have to do but will if it will mean improvement. Id like the phone to not be dead after less than 24 hrs of use. Thank you for any help.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CondemnedSoul:
When you flashed and wiped battery stats was the phone fully charged then did you completely drain the battery and then charge to 100%? Do you have wi-fi and or blue tooth on all the time? Just trying to start with the easy things... I've heard of no issues of bad battery life with sheds roms. In fact quite the opposite. But I think his includes cpuboost in which case you don't need set cpu as they will conflict each other.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] labnjab:
I charged the phone to 100% wiped them this morning and then went about using the phone as I usually would. Sounds like I missed a step. So I have to charge to 100% then let it die then charge again then wipe? I

I never have wi-fi or blue tooth on.

Yes the rom did come with cpu boost. I believe I have that set 710/245. Should I change that as well?

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CondemnedSoul:
Charred the phone to 100% then wipe battery stats. Let the battery drain till the phone shuts off then charge it again. Wait untill its fully charged to unplug it and power phone on. You shouldn't need to wipe everything and flash again. You also dont want to use cpuboost and setcpu together. That will cause conflictions. I can't say on the settings because I don't use either of these. Im also not sure about task killer.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] labnjab:
Thank you again. I only installed the auto killer due to I read a few places that it helped a lot I personally haven't seen much a a difference. How long does your battery last just out of curiosity.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CondemnedSoul:
I would probably get about 30 hours is my estimate but I plug it in every night. I use mine alot... some would almost say heavily. Lol. I would probably say moderate though. I don't use any cpu o/c apparently or task killers myself either.
