Just because it is working fine for you does not mean that there isn't a problem with the CM build. I have done the build (both CMs) MANY times from scratch. You really should read comments thoroughly before you dismiss them. I highly doubt that your exchange server runs in paranoia mode and has a self issued certificate. This problem has been documented and the CM folks have yet to claim a fix. So it is my hope to get some input on how to force a hack or to get them re-interested in fixing.

Hello Everyone, and thanks in advance.

here goes...

I have a Galaxy S running JK3 with an 8gig external SD.

When you move apps to SD does Froyo move them to the internal SD or External SD?

My external SD is set up with a fat32 partition only. Do I have to format my external SD with a proper ext partition? If so, can I just do that in Paragon partition manager?

Thanks for the help. I have searched, but the more I read the more I got confused.

They are on the internal SD to start with .

[Galaxy S I9000 General] tragusman:
LOL:) Apps are installed on internal sd, not every one has external sd and i know mine never came with one so id guess all my apps must of been on internal sd:) ...... with 3rd party apps you can sendem to your external sd.... From all reports since froyo this seems to be a thing of the past...tbh im not to sure why people moved then to ex sd in the first place theres plenty of room on internal sd

Hi there, sorry to post this on the forum but its driving me crazy...

Does anyone have issue's with using ADB on there windows Vista computer ?

What i've noticed to get my DHD to work with ADB i've got to uninstall then re-install HTC Sync everytime i want to use my phone with adb.

Otherwise when i ask adb devices nothing show up...

After i uninstall then re-install HTC Sync the device does then show up...

What i've noticed is the phone is listed as an Android 1.0 device when i reinstall HTC sync it then gets listed as MY HTC and works...

I also have another issue i tried to install a radio via fastboot and had the message Remote not allowed, any ideas, its doing my head in :)

Thanks
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wakers:
I'm getting even more confused now, i just typed adb devices and nothing was shown but i thought i'll try to flash the radio anyway and it worked 1st time ???

FYI if anyone updated Google Maps you're probably having issues with your Google Navigation where it hangs at some "Checking Navigation Availability" screen.

Solution: Market -> Apps -> Long press Google Maps -> Uninstall Updates
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dynamicpda:
This would be a good solution except that the latest Market update is broken too, and any attempt to access my apps or clicking any app results in a FC.

then i open the Navigation program, accept the change message when appear and now all work.. but still not test in street.. i do tomorrow

Google Navigation and TTS Service

I didn't want to start a new thread, but I wanted to post something that I noticed today.

I was playing with my Samsung Fascinate and used Titanium to (safely) freeze as many of the unused applications and services.

TTS service is Text-To-Speach, and, since I didn't find any warnings about it, I froze it. Soon after, I realized that the Google Navigation wasn't responding.

Long story short, after I unfroze TTS service, it worked again.

This is just for your information, in case that somebody gets into a similar situation. If this is a well known fact (that the noobie that I am didn't know about), I apologize. I only wanted to help.

all the best and thank you all for all the work

Can anyone in Hong Kong confirm if Google navigation is active or not?

With the previous (stock) maps 4.5 navigation is notavailable in HK, but rumour seems that it should work with the new 5.0 maps update... anyone?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jshatch:
I have had this happen twice on my Vibrant. The first time the above suggestion to clear the data worked, but the second time it did not. I was however able to get around it by doing the following:

Close navigation, then open maps. In maps, go to menu > directions and enter any address (I used one from a contact), hit go, and once the directions are up, hit the navigation button in the upper right corner. That should start the navigation program normally (no "checking navigation availability" BS). Once the navigation starts successfully, you can exit and from then on it should start normally from the dedicated Nav icon.

Hope this helps at least one person.

[Ideos S7 General] MaV_:
Hi Folks!

I've a new S7, and am verry happy with it. But there's an problem: my g-sensor. It is reverted.

So, I looked on Google like I alway's do and found an solution:

1. Run ConnectBot

2. Connect: choose local (enter)

3. Type: setenv gsensor_axis 0,-1,1,1,2,1

4. Type: exit

5. Reboot PAD

I did exactly the same steps, except I logged in as root. But, my device says: setenv not found. What must I do to fix this problem, there is something about bash but don't know what!

Thank you in advance
[Ideos S7 General] PuZZleDucK:
Hi,

I had more success with:

export gsensor_axis 0,-1,1,1,2,1

By success I mean that the command executed. Still did not fix my sensors :confused: ... tried a few different settings but nothing seemed to stick, might work for you.

Cheers,

what is this for anyway? thanks

[Nook Color General] bartimeus:
So I can get Calibre to send my books to my device and they show up in their respective folders but the cover art I added in Calibre shows up as a separate file from the book rather than on the book itself. Any ideas as to how I could correct this? I am saving them as ePub. Maybe a different format?
[Nook Color General] droiddog:
I've had th same problem. I've looked on the caliber forums and they say that the NC gets the covers from the first page of the book (not the image), but mine don't show up with either present. Sorry I can't give you a solution.

Sent rom my NC using XDA App
[Nook Color General] madman390:
Make sure you have the latest version of Calibre. I've sideloaded several books and all bring over the cover art with the book file.

I'm running 1.0.1, rooted.
[Nook Color General] bartimeus:
Yeah after I played with it a bit more I realized it got the cover from the first picture in the epub file. I got it to mostly work except for a few books that wouldn't allow me to add in the image I wanted to the front of the book.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] daveknights:
Last night I learned about Calibre and I am amazed. It is basically iTunes but for ebooks. I have a large collection of ebooks that were in mobi format. When first opening up Calibre it asks what kind of device you would like it setup for. Obviously I chose the B&N NookColor option. After Calibre added my collection to my library, I then connected my nook. Highlighted all the books and then right clicked > Send to device. You get the option of sending it to internal storage or the SD card. It then asks if you would like to convert all the books to a compatible format for the device. I left it syncing over night, woke up and only 2 of 568 books did not convert properly. Now on my NC I have a huge library of books to choose from. The "Books" section within your "Library" does take some time to load though so I took some time and added the more prevalent books I want to read to "My Shelves" and now I have a good amount of quickly accessible reading material.

Edit: Screenshot:

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Bimboy:
Been using Calibre since I got my NC, and love it. I just wish it (or the NC) handled cover art a lot better. Calibre seems to create a jpg file in the same directory as the ebook for the cover, instead of using the on on page 1 of the ebook, most of the time. I get a lot of blank covers that do have cover art on page 1 on my NC.

I've tried to find solutions (save "epub as epub", and convert in Sigil -then in Calibre), but none have been successful.

Good call letting people know about Calibre though. It is very good. :)
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Sigvard:
I solved that problem by rooting and using another reader, specifically Aldiko, which IMHO is a much better app than the stock Nook reader.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] PhantomHacker:
Nice share, never heard of this before. Thanks!!!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] PinkGator:
Calibre is great not only for organizing my ebooks but also to convert them to ePub. I had a ton of PDFs and calibre converted them to ePub in under an hour. It also makes it easy to organize books by author on the nook because it automatically formats to (Last, First name).
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] t140568:
I'd heard of Calibre before. Never thought to use it though as I've never really had a use for it til now.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] swapdotavi:

Follow leday's post here step by step. It seems a little complicated the first time but it's really very simple and works every single time.

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Adanedhels:
Actually it's much easier....

Using Calibre to get your covers to show up in your library is actually a very easy thing to do. Man that last post was way way to complicated. 90% of the time the following method works.

Load your book into Calibre.

Right click on the title and choose Edit metadata, then edit metadata individually.

Now the metadata page will open. You will see on the left side of the metadata page a empty box with no ISBN number.

Go to Barnes and Nobles website pull up the book and copy the ISBN number from the site to the ISBN box in Calibre.

Now click the Fetch Metadata.

A new box will open up and Calibre will search the correct metadata.

Normally it will within seconds it will find the title (usually only one will come up).

Make sure the all three text boxes in the bottom left are checked (Overwrite author..., download ..., and download cover art)

Hit ok it will fill in the missing data and download the correct (in 98% of the cases) cover art.

Now simply convert epub to epub.

The cover art should now correctly populate to your Nook Color when you move the modified book to your device.

I believe that the problem with cover art not showing correctly on the Nook Color might in fact be linked to missing or incorrect ISBN numbers. Regardless this whole process is mostly painless and quick so definitely easier then changing file names etc.

Hope that helps people.

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] myv6mustang:
I have been using calibre for covers titles and authors. Only question i had is how do you sent the books to your nook in an organized manner? For example when i move books over all the books get moved to the root of my SD card. I would like to have the books go to my files than ebooks folder but there is no option to set that...am i missing something?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] foethalove:
I have been using calibre to fetch news feeds from blogs and websites that I read daily. When you choose a source it asks when you would like it downloaded , which I have set at 1 x per day, and then to delete anything older than 1 day.

Everything downloads fine and transfers over but it does not seem to be deleting anything old. Especially from the nook itself. I still have numerous old entries with no apparent way to get rid of them.

Anyone have any experience with this?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] bugeyed1:
When I right click the book in Calibre, I see a choice to send to main memory or send to storage card A.

Edit: Oh, you want to select the folder on the SD card. I see.......... good question.

Cheers,

kev
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] peiziyu:
There is an option in Preferences to choose your folder path when sending to the device.

1. Open Preferences

2. Under Import/Export heading, choose "Sending books to devices"

3. Under "Save Template" enter "My Files/ebooks/" at the beginning. You can also change the folder structure there.

Hope that helps!

Now while I'm at it, does anyone know how to tell Calibre not to send over the JPG covers. The Nook Color doesn't need the cover art as a separate jpg the way the Nook did. Adding a .nomedia to my Books folder suppresses all of the eBooks in Library as well. I've been manually deleting all of the JPGs in my Books folder, but I'd prefer to skip that step if possible.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Tschumi:
Hello to the community, first time poster.

Is there a way to use calibre without it moving and organizing the e-books in it's own system. I have my own folder-based classification method and I'd like to keep using it - if that's possible (kinda like the i-tunes method of mp3's organization).
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] darmeen:
In calibre instead of saving to device you click the arrow next to save to disk and choose save to disk in a single directory. If you nc is hooked up, you can choose any folder on your sd card. I don't mess with how it wants to save the files for its functionality, just make my own save folder...,or you single folder save on your pc hdd and simply drag and drop the files onto your nc.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] docfreed:
Just tell Calibre to "send only single format" and choose Epub - then it won't send any file without the ".epub" suffix.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] alildevil:
Well in my templates I tried that with "My Files/books/" and for some reason it saved them in "My Files/books/books/author" directory.

So I just added only "My Files/" to the template part and it is saving the way I wanted, "My Files/Books" then in sub-folder's separated per author's name.

Saving em alot of time to move them from the root directory of my card to the books folder manually.

As for not sending a .jpg as well with the .epub's I usually do a lot of editing and "Save to Disk" instead of "Send to Card". Seems there is an option not to send the .jpg when saving to disk and not on the send to card options.

When I have done like 100-200 books or so I's rather just drop them on to the card manually.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] tomic22:
Tip: Theres also the possibility to get calibre server running on your fav. linux distro or windows. I just tested it on my VPS with some books and it runs great! (the way to set it up is to goto Preferences > content server and start it.

With this you can search for books in your library or view them by author, name, tag or date added
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Sincitybronze:
Has anyone figured out a way to get epub cover art to show up in the Nook app library (like thumbnails)? After converting in calibre I can see the cover when I open the book, but the images in the library are nowhere to be found.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Blue6IX:
I love Calibre.

Reads my stock Nook so I can interface with the program directly.

Converts my books well, and i've never had a problem using it.

I've changed things back and forth from .pdf to .epub without any data loss, and for those worried about the program - hundreds and hundreds of books over the last few years without a problem.

Definitely recommended.

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] odub303:
Open calibre, select the ebook, right click, select convert, manually select the cover image from the folder, then convert from epub to epub. The resulting epub will have the cover image in the right place for the nook app to show it. It may not work if you use calibre to send the book, so just manually drag and drop the epub file while the nook is mounted to your pc.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Sincitybronze:
Thank you for the response. This is exactly what I'm doing (I've even tried both adding the files manually and sending them through calibre). For some reason the library shows no images, but when I open the epub, I can see the cover on the first page. What's the trick to getting all the covers to show on the library page?

[Nook Color General] MXIIA:
I've tried the following launchers; Launcher Pro, Launcher 2.3, and Zeam Launcher. All are fantastic but seem to have one fatal flaw.

When I attempt to hold screen -> Add item -> Shortcut, or any variation of this, the screen merely flashes and I cannot add an Application Short Cut.

Other additional items, such as Widgets or Actions work fine, but the Shortcut/Folder does not.

Is this a problem with my Nook, rooting, or just the incompatibility?
[Nook Color General] daveknights:
It's just another thing B&N stripped out of the android operating system. The best way to make a shortcut is to hold it from the apps menu and then you can drag it to anywhere on your desktop. All launchers as far as I know do this. Get anycut if you need to make more shortcuts. That seems to work fine for me.
