[Nook Color General] TheAmazingDave:
The antenna is approx 7.5 inches long. It does not span the entire bottom and side length of the NC. The antenna starts to the left of the uUSB port, coming directly out of the wireless chip. It then runs along the bottom, and turns up along the right side of the device, running just over halfway up the side, covering approx. 2.75 inches on the bottom, and 4.75 inches on the right side.

I just so happen to have one disassembled right here... It's the white wire.
[Nook Color General] pokey9000:
Sorry, that's not an antenna, just an interconnect between the wifi module and the antenna on the right of the NC PCB.
[Nook Color General] TheAmazingDave:
heh, good call.

I didn't even realize it's a shielded coax...

durr..
[Nook Color General] lschroeder:
If I use a stand in landscape mode with usb power on left side, the antenna would be located bottom center, correct? Thus placing a bluetooth keyboard directly below and in front of the stand would be best for a strong signal? Same would be true for bluetooth mouse? My Xoom bluetooth keyboard has significant range, so placement is not a problem. I have ordered a Logitech V470 Bluetooth mouse. Hope it pairs and connects. Current bluetooth mice seem to have a problem with range, so placement directly below and front would be the best, correct?
[Nook Color General] :
I'm thinking that he means that it's a dual layer PCB, not that the pads are physically under the chip....

If this is the case, you would be unable to use a torch to heat up the pads and just feed solder threw, as the solder pads would actually be sandwiched between the two PCB sections. Typically, you need some pretty advanced lab equipment to work on mutli-layer PCB's without trashing them in the process... The fact that the pictures above this post show absolutely no traces also leads me to believe he was indicating that it's a multi-layer PCB.

I could have misunderstood though, as the post wasn't very specific.

Display Connector

Sorry if this is OT, but can anybody tell me the type or part number of the LCD connector? I need to extend the display to PCB connection for a special project ...
[Nook Color General] sc00bied00:
Technically, this reply would be considered thread necromancy BUT seeing as it is already stickied...

mr72 hit the nail on the head with every detail. While modding in an antenna and a microphone is completely within the realm of possible, we can safely say with 99.9% accuracy that the devs willl not be patching the kernel.

As much as I love the NC for what it CAN do, I still want a 7" tablet with a great screen and proper audio (both in and out), a proper bluetooth solution, AND a fully integrated GPS.

I found that tablet late last month (Jan '12.) The HTC Evo 4G View EOL'ed and I managed to pick one up under 250USD on the day after the EOL news broke from 1saleaday.com via Newegg. I paid 250 for my first nook and 159 for dads (refurb, also from 1saleaday purely by coincidence.)

Microphone. Check. Bluetooth. Check. FM. Nope but didn't have it on my wishlist. High quality display. Check. Internal GPS and compass. Check.

Problem solved. Affordably. And it appears that ICS is ported about as well as the NC has progressed. With it being an HTC, odds are very high that factory drivers for the new kernel will surface in short order. I checked a few nights ago and the street price on the Views are right around 26o-275.

Just thought I'd throw that out there on the off chance a newcomer to the Nook wanders into this thread.

Just to their this out here... Anyone who publishes ROMs and other mods here... How's the compliance going? Seems that it's strictly enforced on the other forums, but not here. Did I miss anything?

You did miss something: a ROM called Baked Snack and a dev named Hero_Over.
[Epic 4G General] gzub:
I think you are referring to the DK28 Froyo ROMs, they have not been published under the GPL yet by Samsung and therefore there is no source available to publish. Once Samsung releases their source and ROMs are based on that I will assume they will comply...

Then how about instead of throwing out a vague (possibly rhetorical) question you cite some actual problem/violation witht he GPL and work to fix it? Unless of course there weren't really any problems that you saw and you just wanted to start a thread to be an antagonistic jacka**.

I was under the impression that Android was NOT GPL. So of course they do NOT have to follow it. Android is under ASL, but the kernel is GPL. Different licenses different rules.

pretty sure the deal is that when someone asks for the GPL then they must release their source, but if no one asks than everythings good baby babbbbby! from what i remember hero_Over saying on his personal forum.

[Epic 4G General] aestil:
For whatever reason DK28 causes my touchscreen to randomly stop working. Stock DI18 does not have this problem at all.

I would just go back to DI18 permanently until the 'official' froyo comes out from Samsung, but I need the froyo gmail app for work over the holiday. This means I'll be using a phone, that while stable in every other respect, will randomly stop responding to touchscreen inputs. I fix it by putting phone in standby and waking it back up. This usually allows me to use it for a while longer.

Anyone else have this problem, or possibly know what might be the cause of it?
[G Tablet General] Allenfx:
I installed the performance pack that goes with the stock tnt 3389 last night.

I am ready to do the market fix, i have read the instructions and am good to go.

Just one problem, i was a long time iphone user and do not have an android market account. All three of the "how to" guides on here remind me that i need to have that done first.

I did a search around the web on how to set up an android market account and saw a few things that seeem to indicate you set it up by launching the market app on your android device....since i have no such device, how do i set up my market account so i can start the market fix?

Sorry, i am an INCREDIBLE newb i realize.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Allen
[G Tablet General] thebadfrog:
My market account is my Gmail address and password which I had before I had an android phone. Have you set up a Gmail account and then tried to enter that info when setting up the market
[G Tablet General] Allenfx:
Yeap.

When i run the fix it goes like this.

1) Run the fix

2) Launch Market

3) Market launches google services framework and asks me to sign in

4) I get an error message that my device does not have proper connectivity.

I have confirmed my gmail id and password are correct.

Ok, thanks for the answer.

At this point it seems i am messing up step or two while applying the fix outlined in the 3389 Performance pack thread.

Ill try it a few more times and then its Off to install titanium back up and try that method!
[G Tablet General] brian_h_kim:
follow the directions:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=885940

if you are prompted to login to google services framework after doing the market fix, you are not doing the fix correctly - you must be logged into google services framework before doing the market fix
[G Tablet General] foohawt:
Try a reboot after you do the market fix, I had the same issue with it saying you don't have a proper connection, i rebooted, got that message again, tried to get in market a couple times and then it worked.

As for a market account, yes you sign in with your gmail account, if you don't have one, i think you can sign up for one when doing the market setup.
[G Tablet General] Longsh0t:
Are you sure your WiFi is enabled and connected?
[G Tablet General] Allenfx:
Well..

Last night i was using the hotel wi-fi and i was able to stream from tv.com so i assumed my connection was working.

Today i am at the hospital.

i have something new to report...it TOOK my gmail and password and moved to the next step (finally).

However i am greeted with a solid white screen and the word "loading" with a little loading animation next to it. This was on a FRESH boot up, and the loading screen/animation has been going on for about 5 minutes.... (attempting to do the first step in the fix which is to run market)...
[G Tablet General] Allenfx:
Attached screenshot.

I aborted after this went on for 15 minutes.

Launched the market a SECOND time and...viola. It came up.

Ran the fix.

Rebooted

Connected to the wi fi

Ran the market

Got a server error.

Closed market

Ran the market AGAIN.

It is working now.

Lets chalk this one up to connectivity issues going on in the back ground while i was running the fix!

I am good now.

Hey everyone thanks for your help with my initial question and guiding me along the way so that i knew i wasn't out in left field some where!

[G Tablet General] XANAVirus:
The new Market looks sweet on our GTablets! :)

Full-screen in landscape is awesome (many of the apps on mine also go to fullscreen on it).

I just wish I could get TV.com on here somehow. It doesn't show up in the Market and I have no idea where the [.apk]s are in my Nexus One (or on my GTablet either, I'd love to get Swiftkey Pro as my keyboard).
[G Tablet General] Allenfx:
I am able to watch tv pretty good on tv.com using the web site.

Hulu is still a project i am working on...right after getting MS exchange to work and picking out a favorite browser. (not sure about this dolphon, although do like gesture. does xscope do gesture as well?).

Hi,

Android platform is growing and more and more people are using an android phone or an android tablet. Some of painting/art dedicated applications are still in development and sometimes there are no equivalent, compared to iphone/ipad app sets.

What are your experiences on the android platform and what applications, do you use for game/entertainment/education or daily work as an artist or art lover ? :)

Any suggestions to enrich this topic is welcome. Its main objective is to have a panorama of "Art" dedicated apps for the android platform. Thanks for your contributions :)

============================

List of applications with links & descriptions from android market (a google spreadsheet could be edited if useful):

Digital Canvas (paint/painting/editing/sketching/drawing...):

Canvas

"Android's best painting and editing suite!"

Magic Doodle

"The sketching, drawing and painting application with full features for beginners, advanced users and professionals."

Magic Marker

"MagicMarker is a simple touch-paint program for writing and drawing neon-style on a black background."

PaintJoy

"A cute touch-paint app for you and your kids. It has a special "MOVIE" mode to playback your drawing like movie."

SketchBook Mobile

"Autodesk SketchBook® Mobile is a professional-grade paint and drawing application offering a full set of sketching tools and a streamlined and intuitive user interface."

Magic Doodle Premium

Main features:

- 6 Pencils and 40 art brushes selection and adjustment

- 4 smudge effects

- 6 eraser heads

- Abstract painting

- Symmetrical drawing and painting

- 15 color palettes with premixed colors

- Color wheel with HSV - RGB - HEX editable values

- 3 layers with duplication, transition, mirror flip, image importation, background fill, merge and move

- Last used colors and tools

- Export and share the paintings

- Video replay of the paintings (video actually not exportable)

- 6 canvas sizes

I simply love this program as it really does perform as a digital canvas should.

Sketchbook Mobile as mentioned above is also very good and has similar amounts of brushes and controls.

For users who have a Galaxy Tab though it does not conform to the screen size, you have to use another program named Spare Parts to alter the Apps resolution in order to make it fit correctly.

Sketcher Pro or Sketcher is the best artistic drawing apps.

Here's my little question.

Do you know like this apps? Technical Brushing?

Cuz Sketcher is the good apps but some deficiency :(

No Brush Size

No Layers

Add the photo but no resize and no remove

Maybe this features porting another apps? Or Sketcher brushes porting another apps? Is that possible?

Or maybe they're suggest like this apps?

Thanks for answer

Reading the terrible Zagg reviews I thought I'd look at the generic screen protectors that come at 1/20th the cost.

I didn't buy an HTC one but had a couple of iPod ones that came with a case years ago. I cut it into a square and fitted it to half the screen.

It was very easy to fit, clean the screen with your glasses cloth or any such thing, use something solid and dust free to fan away any dust that lands, E.g. a credit card, peel off the bottom tab and place on. It was simple enough pushing the bubles to the edge with the card or fingernails.

I saw people were worried about the guard changing the colour slightly or making it fuzzy and even making it more greasy than normal so I took some photos to show you. They feel like plastic, not like the screen but they're not sticky and they come clean off. Obviously the guard is on the top of the screen and the edges are rough because it's hard to cut.

Let me know what you think, I rekon I'll get a couple and see how it goes as they're only 50p and work great.

If you're using your mobile phone as a wireless hotspot, you will be using your phone's data for your internet access. You don't have to plug it into anything, just follow the instructions.

I've no idea how the boot animations are loaded, is there a script or something that tells the phone to load it or something?

I was looking out of curiousity at the red alert live wallpaper which has sound attached in the META-INF folder, maybe you can apply a similar principle to the boot animation script if there is one????

I just installed froyo 2.2 and I want to do some mod for framework and twframework. However, all I can find in root dir is twframework-res.apk but I don't see any Framework-res.apk

Any idea where I can find it?

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jwood55812:
They should be in /system/framework I believe..

a) open the files with WinRAR (don't extract them, just drop new files in the right places and then close, it will automatically save)

or

b) extract the files with WinRar or something similar, modify what you need, then find a program that will repackage apk's for you, I know theres one floating around on the forums somewhere but not sure where to be honest.
