I am a voice artist. I do radio and television commercials, narration, messaging on hold, things like that.

The reason I got the GTab was not out of animosity toward iOS; in fact, I have an iphone. I got it because I was looking for a lower cost alternative to the iPad for a very specific use; paper reduction.

I audition for a lot of things and record sessions in my studio. I wanted something that would cut down on the amount of paper I burn through printing scripts. I originally went with an unconnected e-reader, but the intervening process of converting files from websites to either RTF of ePub documents slowed down the process, so a web-connected device was a better solution. I would have been very accepting of going with an iPad, but the cost was prohibitive at the time. I saw the hardware reviews of the GTab, and thought I would give Android a shot.

So far, despite the aggravations of getting the GTab working the way I want (including returning 2 before getting one that worked properly), it has been doing just what I wanted it to do. Scripts on websites, email attachments, all just fine for use in the studio, either mine or someone elses so long as there is wifi available.

There is a lot of potential in the Android OS. It is still a bit rough around the edges for this implementation, though. I can only recommend it to folks willing to muck around a bit to get it the way you want it. But it has been good for me so far.
[G Tablet General] Arendabel:
Also using it for paper reduction. I'm a lawyer and many, many of the docs I use are only printed for meetings. I can now take them with me on my gtab. A netbook is too distracting in the meetings I have.
[G Tablet General] jdnyc:
I've had the tab for over a month now and the practical uses are starting to become evident.

-web/email when I travel (using miwi for iPhone)

-ebooks/magazines. I have enjoyed Newsweek on Kindle.

-language learning. Much easier to study compared to my netbook (trying to learn Khmer. Wish the Khmet apps on iTunes had android counterparts. )

-movies/tv. Love that this can read my lexar echo 32gb drive. Waiting for the netflix app...

-storage/portable drive. USB access has come in handy. I was able to pull off some movies and pix while with family over the holidays.

-learning more about android. I work in digital marketing so the experience in the environment/exposure to dev dialog has been interesting.

-lastly, laughing at those iPad suckers.

So, I'm interested in Darkstones latest build. I'm currently running Froyostone3.2 w/MooMoo MMS Fix.

So, my question is this: Does the superRAM build send/receive MMS correctly on T-mobile US? Are they the correct size, or are they all small and distorted? I'm reading mixed things in the main thread in regards to it, and most of that is several days old.

This is the only thing that keeps me from switching to that build. I text constantly and I'd hate for the main use of my phone to be limited.

I'm currently using stock 2.10ROM and 2.12 radio. I'm aware that should I get the superRAM build I'd need to go to 3.14 and 2.15.

Thanks for any and all help that doesn't involve "Search the threads n00b" or "google it...". Been there, done that. Thanks again!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] -deuces-:
lol...very similar here.

was using a moomoo fix build then switched to darkstone super ram 1.5. i am also on tmobile usa, and mms works perfectly.

what i did was, in the moomoo fix build, i backed up the apn, with apn backup from market.

then when i switched to darkstone super ram, i restored the apn using the same app
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] pretzdothack:
Excellent, thanks! I'm curious though. What moomoo build were you using? The same as I, or one of the different ones? Also, how's the data like?

id remember exactly what mood build, but data on super ram is alright, with slight drops here and there.

hi ppl,

i dismantled my orbit to put a new case on, and found an unusual piece of 'hardware' in the case....

in the case, near the reset pin hole there is a little piece of hardware with a free rotating 'counter weight' type of thing encased in rubber and two contact pins sticking out...

is this an accelorometer, if not what is it

any ideas ???

thanks

Hello,

Is there an app that will let me track my family with the following features that is free?

1. Does not update constantly or in a specific time period, one member of the family presses update and the location updates.

2. Can run in the background and will not stop with a task killer.

3. Can be used by any android phone.

4. Is free?

Thanks for your help!

Yeah, I was going to suggest ADW too, but the tradeoff to that is that you lose Sense and all it's widgets. For some people, that might be fine, but depending what you're looking for, it might be a dealbreaker. I'm not sure if any of the custom sense roms offer that option. Maybe someone else could chime in about that.

[Nook Color General] nookierookie:
I really like the stock Browser.apk that comes on the NC (in fact, prefer it to other Browsers -- Dolphin, etc). Does anybody know how I can make that browser multitouch? I've tried replacing it with other 2.1 stock multitouch browsers (i.e. from the Droid or N1 fixes), but the address bar at the top doesn't render correctly for the NC resolution -- unusable. Any ideas?
[Nook Color General] captfoss:
Try the stock browser from a galaxy tab... same resolution as the nc.
[Nook Color General] nookroot:
did that work if not try another browser like opera or dolphine believe it doesn't work with nc stock browser
[Nook Color General] epakrat75:
However, the Tab runs Android 2.2 while the NC is on the 2.1 version. Dolphin should support multi-touch. I haven't used it on the NC myself though.
[Nook Color General] devis:
Dolphin does multitouch. Been using it since got t NC nootered.

[Nook Color General] wvcachi:
I think he tried Dolphin, but wants to enable multi-touch specifically in the Nook browser. It was designed for no multi-touch, and I doubt there will be enough demand for a mod for anyone to bother.

Multitouch has been working on my NC since I autonootered. Use it often in Angry Birds. :p
[Nook Color General] wvcachi:
We all have multi-touch. The Nook browser, which doesn't support multi-touch, is what he was asking about.

You might wanna try firrefox broweser for android. It supports multitouch and i think its pretty similar to stock.

I have compiled tun.ko for the Nook color.

Here are the instructions to get OpenVPN up and running.

I dont have a fully working OpenVPN server to test this completely but I was able to connect and get authenticated. If someone can test this out and report whether this works that would be useful.

Download tun.ko module from here

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

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 (if it doesnt exist)

#exit

#exit

Now you are back at your windows or linux prompt

adb push tun.ko /system/lib/modules

adb shell

#su

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

If everything works fine you should see no errors

#lsmod

You should see something like this

tun 11416 0 - Live 0xbf153000

#exit

#exit

So far so good.

Now go to the Android Market and download

1. busybox (if not already installed)

2. OpenVPN Installer

3. OpenVPN Settings

Run the OpenVPN Installer first. It will detect that OpenVPN binary is not installed and ask permission to install. You can choose to install it in /system/xbin or /system/bin (I installed it under /system/bin).

OpenVPN also needs the path to ifconfig and route which is provided by busybox. It will ask for the path and create symlinks. I created mine under /system/xbin/bb.

Next copy your openvpn config files and .crt files under /sdcard/openvpn.

Finally, run OpenVPN settings. If you have a valid config file under /sdcard/openvpn you should see those connections listed.

From the advanced menu you can set the path to your tunnel module as /system/lib/modules/tun.ko and load the module using modprobe.

Set the path to your configuration files (default is /sdcard/openvpn).

If everything looks fine then go back to main screen and click the checkbox next to your listed connection.

You should get a login icon in the notification bar if your connection requires username/password.

Thats it. Browse your internal network to check if everything is working as desired.

I just had a baby a few weeks ago and dont have time to troubleshoot this.

If someone can take over and post better/detailed instructions on making this work that would be great.

---------- 05/06/2011 Update -------------

Updated version of tun.ko for the 1.2 update. This for for kernel version 2.6.32.9.

In order to connect to Cisco/Freeswan VPN concentrators you can download VPNconnections from here. The instructions are quite straightforward and listed on the project page. http://code.google.com/p/get-a-robot-vpnc/

You will need to load tun.ko for both openvpn and VPNConnections.

[Nook Color Android Development] chuffykow:
Thanks for the step-by-step guide on this, I can confirm that it does work as expected. I was able to connect to an OpenVPN server and route traffic properly over it. One more damn device that ties me to work now, wooh!
[Nook Color Android Development] likearaptor:
At my work we use a Cisco VPN. On my phone I use an app called VPN Connections. I loaded the module and instead of using the open vpn I used the apk mentioned above. But it didn't work. Does the OpenVPN support Cisco vpns?
[Nook Color Android Development] iandixo:
has anyone gotten this to work with alwaysVPN??

after i enter my username and password

I get

connecting

Auth

get config

then a popup window saying

fatal: cannot allocate Tun/Tap dev dynamically
[Nook Color Android Development] dascud:
Probably your tun.ko module is not loaded.

Did you set the path to tun.ko from OpenVPN settings ?

Can you use adb shell and

type

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

then

#lsmod

and report what you see.
[Nook Color Android Development] dascud:
OpenVPN client wont work with Cisco's VPN. They use different protocols.

However, VPN Connections is supposed to be compatible with Cisco/FreeSwan and other IPSec VPNs.

I havent used VPNConnections but if there is any option to load the tun module then you can try setting the path and loading the module.

I would suggest that you first try loading the tun.ko module manually using adb shell. Then run VPN Connections and maybe it will work :D
[Nook Color Android Development] iandixo:
I get

tun 11416 0 - Live 0xbf113000

tiwlan_drv 862084 0 - Live 0xbf03b000

bc_example 6460 0 - Live 0xbf034000

omaplfb 16584 0 - Live 0xbf02a000

pvrsrvkm 150196 56 bc_example,omaplfb, Live 0xbf000000

and the path is set in settings

what should I see in /system/xbin/bb ?? as there is nothing there at all. Reason I asked is for some unknown reason and without me changing anything, the error has now changed to something about "ifconfig unable to load external program" it flashes to fast to read
[Nook Color Android Development] dascud:
This is good. Make sure that you set the path as the full path to the module as

/system/lib/modules/tun.ko in OpenVPN settings. (Yea path is a little misleading)

The error is due to openvpn not finding the path to ifconfig and route which is required to set the IP address for the tun device and push the default routes.

Did you install busybox ?. If not then you should install that.

If you already installed busybox then do this

adb shell

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

#su

#which busybox

This should return /system/bin/busybox

Under /system/bin you should also find ifconfig and route which are essentially symlinks to busybox

Now navigate to the /system/xbin directory

#cd /system/xbin

#mkdir bb (if it doesnt exist)

#cd /system/bin

#cp ifconfig /system/xbin/bb

#cp route /system/xbin/bb

#cd /system/xbin/bb

# ./ifconfig

This should return some details about the tiwlan0 interface.

#exit

#exit

Try again and see if this works. If not you can run the OpenVPN installer again.

Shouldnt matter if you already ran it once before.

Set the path for the openvpn binary as /system/bin &

the path for ifconfig as /system/xbin/bb

Hopefully this should do the trick.
[Nook Color Android Development] FletchF:
Hmm. I can't get this to work with VPN Connections either. lsmod says the module is loaded, but VPN Connections fails. I won't have time to look at this for a week or so, but if anyone has VPN Connections working with this tun.ko, that would be good to know.
[Nook Color Android Development] iandixo:
well I'm getting somewhere :-) it now connects and it seems to be passing data ...but I'm only getting a connection of 0.09kBps up and 0.06kBps down

Just to clarify, "VPN Connections" is an Android VPN client that can connect to a Cisco IPSEC VPN concentrator. It works well for me on my DROID.

Hi. This sounds awesome. I am trying to get vpn since i left my laptop at home and my captivate is too small to do basic work.

I can't seem to dload the above but no go for dolphin or google browser.

Can someone post a mirror?

Edit: got it... couldn't get w the browsers and rockplayer seemed to want to play it. Used ie and got it ok.
[Nook Color Android Development] iandixo:
I would love to hear if anyone else has had any success with alwaysVPN. I can connect but just can't seem to get any data ...
[Nook Color Android Development] dascud:
I recall that I had the same issue initially. I was able to get connected but not browse the internal network. The monitor would show a connection of 0.09Kbps.

I think this means that the initial handshake went through but the server was not able to push the ip address or the default routes.

When you get connected you should see a status which progresses as

Auth - > Get Config -> and finally connected to "server IP" as "your new IP address". If you dont see your new IP address then the connection is not fully functional.

A rather unscientific method to fix it which worked for me was

1.) Uninstall busybox

2.) Reinstall busybox

3.) Run OpenVPN Installer again

set path to Openvpn binary as /system/bin

set path to ifconfig as /system/xbin/bb

adb to /system/xbin/bb and check if ifconfig and route exists.

Reboot, do a minor rain dance and pray to the God of your choice while the Nook is rebooting.

So just to let everyone know I got VPN Connections working for my work's Cisco VPN. I did the steps outlined at first, downloaded the file, insmod the file, added openvpn and settings apps, then tried my vpn connections app but it wouldn't work. So I gave up. Two days later I tried it for fun after I had rebooted it many times and it worked! I haven't done a insmod command and I have uninstalled the two OpenVPN commands

My NookColor has been all of the sudden playing a load static noise when it is off and the only way to stop it is to turn it off. So I reset everything back to stock 1.0.1 and I will wait and see if it does it without it being rooted. If so I will get a different unit. But in the next week or two I will root it again and see if I need to install OpenVPN or not.
[Nook Color Android Development] FletchF:
Hmm. Still trying here. How many reboots did it take?
[Nook Color Android Development] likearaptor:
Just one for me, I did a lot of little things trying to get it to work, once I re-root later this week or next week I will post step by step directions to get it to work unless someone else beats me to it :)
[Nook Color Android Development] acomiskey:
I think just 1.

I had "vpn connections" installed. I then follow the instructions at the beginning of this thread. I stopped at "Next copy your openvpn config files and .crt files under /sdcard/openvpn" since I wasn't interested in using openvpn.

I then rebooted, launched "vpn connections" and it connected.

I cannot however get the vpnc widget to work.
[Nook Color Android Development] FletchF:
Hmm, the module appears to be loading, but maybe something's not quite right. The same VPN Connections client works for me on a DROID running Cyanogen. The only difference is that I didn't need to install and load the module there because the Cyanogen kernel already has tun support. I'll test more this weekend.
[Nook Color Android Development] FletchF:
Well, I got this working, but I'm not quite sure how. Probably just something stupid. The next time I have a reason to wipe and re-root, I'll do this more carefully and document the minimal steps for VPN Connections to work.

Thanks for sharing the tun.ko module!

tun.ko and 2.6.32 Beta 3.1

Thanks for updated tun.ko. However I can't get this version to load with the new CM7 ROM based on 2.6.32 (Beta 3.1) and Dalgrin's o/c kernel for this ROM.

I'm guessing that tun.ko hasn't been compiled for this kernel - am I right? If so, can anyone compile it and post...or tell me how to do it and I'll learn...

from OP:

---------- 05/06/2011 Update -------------

Updated version of tun.ko for the 1.2 update. This for for kernel version 2.6.32.9.
[Nook Color Android Development] MedLine:
tun/tap enabled in kernel (in sum, working tun/tap support present in CM7 going back to n35). in 2.6.32 beta3.1, tun/tap tested working by users with OpenVPN and VPNC for Cisco VPN. there is a known segfault bug with PPTP using native Android client but that is separate issue. with VPNC, node and symlink made to "dev/net/tun". you can run "busybox ifconfig" to confirm tun or tap device running. curiously, if you flashed 2.6.32 OC kernel a tun kernel object is installed to "/system/lib/modules" but "insmod" of this tun.ko fails like the one compiled by dascud.
