[Nook Color General] Lioncage:
Over the last two years I'd been trying to find an Archos demo unit of any kind that still worked. No luck yet, even with using my handy (non-microsoft :P) paperclip to reset them. May have just been due to the type of unit used in the store, but I'll be avoiding them till I get to hold one and actually use it. I've found demo units to be a good source of how much stress a product can take.

It could just be (and probably is) Best Buy not bothering to replace broken display units though...
[Nook Color General] oscarfrancois:
Bisaed much? Not sure where you live but I didn't know they had display models available as no retailers are selling them in store as I'm aware. They have been difficult to find online for me.

I've tried both as I bought a 70 for myself and a 101 for my brother.

Basically they are pretty good devices if you are looking for a tablet. The browsing is pretty good and is not sluggish at all. Didn't have any wi-fi issues. Pinch to zoom works great. They pretty much play any of the main video formats that I threw at it(up to 720p). Flash support is a bit sluggish but works. Hdmi out is nice too if you want to watch or play games on your tv. The battery life on the Archos 70 was pretty good too. The screen on the Archos 70 is ok size its only 7" but I found the Archos 101 screen to be too big and the viewing angles annoyed me(especially portrait mode).

The construction of both were ok but definitely got oily/greasy after a while. Both were extremely light. Also market was easier to install/sideload than doing the rooting procedure for the nook color. The ram is only 256mb and has 1gz processor. Not sure this is really an issue though since everything runs great but probably not future-proofed for gingerbread/etc. Full flash support is also supposedly waiting for adobe certification but not sure if it will actually happen.

In the end I returned my Archos 70 because I read more than watch videos or browse the internet so that was more important to me. After using the Nook color the differences that I've noticed with Nook color is no pinch to zoom, no flash support, video player support not great(have to convert to mp4), battery life not as good, better screen, no hdmi out, speaker sucks, non-greasy suede like material construction body, heavier, no bluetooth, no camera.

I would recommend the Nook color(rooted) if you want a tablet thats a bit more like a reader. If you want more of tablet then go for the Archos.

If the Archos had the same screen as the Nook color I would have definitely kept it. I do think the Archos 70 should be a bit cheaper at 250 instead of 275 though.
[Nook Color General] wvcachi:
The NookColor has pinch to zoom once it's rooted with multi-touch enabled.

For the record, I don't consider the NC to be more reader than tablet at all. I've yet to read a book on it, and, at this point, consider it to be a full-on tablet. To me, it really depends what mods you've applied after rooting to enhance it.
[Nook Color General] notinterested:
No bias, i do find it odd that you knock the NC battery life from everything i have read and seen its quite a bit better than the archos devices especially once you remove the phone apks. Once i got rid of those apks i get over 8 hours of actual use time which is more than the archos devices are rated for.
[Nook Color General] bthoven:
I own Archos 70 and I guarantee that it lasts over 8 hrs with wifi on for continuous browsing/reading web.

Agree that Archos screen is not very good at tilt angle; but how often you do that.

I found the light-weightness and thinness of Archos very attractive. I now got a zipped case that I can put both thin Kindle 3 and thin Archos together and carry them around easily.

Kindle for reading pocket books. Archos for reading enews and others. Leaving my iPad at home only.
[Nook Color General] cutterjohn:
Actually the SoC used in the Archos line is a bit better in that it incorporates a PowerVR SGX 540 rather than the 530 in the NC, which alone, is quite a perf boost for graphics...

REAL killer for Archos IMO is the 256MB of RAM, which is fairly limiting, and the fact that they've underclocked their CPU core to 800MHz on the current "official" froyo build.
[Nook Color General] jbharman45:
Actually, that is not true on the Archos line. RAM is fixed, but system App memory can be (carefully) adjusted. On the Archos HT7, you are able to reformat the system memory after a wipe and go from 135MB available for apps to nearly 700MB available for apps, as part of a ROM hack. Memory is moved from internal storage. Makes sense when you think about just one pot of memory. I was not impressed with the build quality of that Archos, but the later machines seem quite nice, spec wise.
[Nook Color General] notinterested:
The Archos screen is not very good from any angle. The higher res IPS display on the nook blows that cheapo low res TN panel out of the water. As to battery life i was just going off the engadget review i was reading. They got 6 hours out of it.
[Nook Color General] oscarfrancois:
From having real world use of both devices the Archos battery is good. I was surprised by it. It's definitely better than the NC. I would say 10-12 hours just general use.

This is all out of the box with Archos.

I'm not against the NC since I own it but I don't like when people knock something they have no experience with.

I read the engadget review myself and thought it was a bit harsh. I'm not really big fan of that reviewer as she seems to be a bit annoying and biased.
[Nook Color General] oscarfrancois:
I guess I can call my galaxy s phone a tablet too with your logic.
[Nook Color General] cutterjohn:
256MB of RAM IS 256MB of RAM which IS limiting. App "memory" is flash, which is STORAGE and IS what you seem to be talking about... and you're correct flash is not one "pot" of storage, it's partitioned into several "pots" as the manufacturer so desires, but it still ain't RAM and is never gonna be RAM.

@oscarfrancois

it's a "phone" given it's cost and data contract attachment or high unlocked overpricing... just like the Dells...
[Nook Color General] jkest:
how does one install flash on the nook though?
[Nook Color General] Paul22000:
It's impossible until Barnes and Noble releases the Android 2.2 update.
[Nook Color General] yeahman45:
no flash 10.1 on nc is a show stopper for me atm...
[Nook Color General] elypsar:
Supposedly this will put flash on your NC. I have yet to test it as my nook battery is dead and for some reason won't charge from a standard micro usb cable (which is quite an irritant).

I have the 101, and although i would prefer more ram, It has yet to run into a problem running anything i have thrown at it.
[Nook Color General] smuook:
This was directly from the engadget review:
[Nook Color General] Chaostheory6682:
I have the Archos 101. Although i would prefer more ram, it has yet to have any problems running anything i have thrown at it, gaming, video, or other wise. It streams Hd video with ease, and will do the same with flash when adobe and archos get hardware acceleration enabled.

Not to mention the app storage isnt as restrictive as some people seem to think. I have 65 apps installed on my 101, including 12 of the highest end games available. All of that still leaves me with 50Mbs for additional app storage. Another dozen apps at least i'm sure. People forget that with 2.2 only the execution file takes away from this storage, the remainder is stored in regular memory.

As far as battery life, i get around 10 hours with just reading and web browsing. Not to bad. I have had no problems with wifi, as some have reported. Build quality isnt nearly as 'cruddy' as some people claim. The camera is pretty bad, but it works. Speakers are great. The screen could be better, but the only real problem with angles is when viewing from the top of the device in landscape. Side to side is decent. The only time this became an issue is when playing Hawx with the accelerometer enabled as the controls. I would pull back to gain elevation and would get some screen darkening, other than that it hasnt been an issue.

Getting the market, voice interaction, etc. to work for the 'full' google experience was as simple as finding the .apk files. All in all im happy with the device for the price. I like being able to stream video files from my computer from anywhere within my home network(or friends home networks) with ease. I look forward to future Archos products, i hope they continue to take customers input and improve as time goes on.

For me the 101 feature set completely trumps that of the nook. I wouldnt mind switching screens and ram but other than that the Archos is very much a superior product. Plus the 101 screen size is fantastic for gaming :)
[Nook Color General] italdream:
I am one of the first buyers of the archos 70. With a bit of luck, I managed to get one when most people couldn't yet. I used the device for about 4 months until the screen cracked. By the way, I never figured out how that happened. I loved the A70 but when it broke I started searching for alternatives and I ended up with a nook color. What a difference a good screen and double the ram can make. I would never go back to archos. Yes it has a camera, but it is so low quality, I don't miss it. Hdmi never used. Only difference is the speakers. For those of you in doubt as what to buy, do yourself a favor, buy the nook color. This assumes that you can follow instructions and root the damn thing. Finally, I like being able to tether with ad hoc wifi instead of BT.
[Fascinate General] Joshuaboyzn:
I recently updated to DJ05 with both Super Clean .9 and Stupid Fast (Whatever the newest is.) A day later,everything is working fine except when I try to longpress to move a shortcut or widget. I receive a small vibration but no ability to move. I'm using Adwlauncher, as well.

Does anyone know what could cause this?
[Fascinate General] Jmjohnson1717:
I have noticed the new adw launcher has an option to lock the desk top. If u press the menu soft key it may say unlock desk top. Just something to try sounds like it may be the cause
[Fascinate General] theraptscallion:
The latest ADW version kills long press. No idea why, it just does. Switch to LP or Touchwiz and you get the button back. Shortcut apps from the market have no effect. It caused me to buy LP+ and I regret not doing it sooner.

Lastly, this should be in general, not development.
[Fascinate General] Jmjohnson1717:
ya if u mean voice search via long press of the search key it is messed up. However there is a work around for this as well. Double press the search key first to open the search then long press it to get to voice search. However in your original post it sounds more like the desktop is locked to me just unlock it and should be good
[Fascinate General] Joshuaboyzn:
The desktop was indeed locked. Thank you guys.

Hi. I'm a Spanish user, sorry for my English.

I have a Kaiser, and I want to install android in it. I have installed the kernel (in .nbh) 2.6.25. After it installed this ROM. Finally I installed the modules that I have downloaded from aTools, using "Install update" in the Kaiser.

The result of this: I only can see the notification bar, the rest of the screen are black, and ADW give me some FC's... I have tried everything, but I can't use my Kaiser...

Can anyone help me?

Thank you very much ;).

Lou's RR 2.3 if you want a ROM with only incredible framework or Redemptive evolution 2.1.3 if you want a blend of the evo and incredible. I personally like 2.1.3 better

I like the Desire-Z ported ROMs. They are very stable now. I really like the New Sense. Probably one of the only cons is the 720p camcorder not working. But 720p on the Dinc is horrible anyways.

[Vibrant General] tjhart85:
I bought it (I have also bought the Notifier in the past as well...have no intention as of now to buy/use any themes though). I would prefer if the app were closer to the $2 range, but I can't stand the Samsung TW and don't really like LP and I've used ADW since it was integrated into CyanogenMOD [this was on my G1], so I felt it was worth supporting AnderWeb and giving him a couple bucks. It's really not that much money & he's currently unemployed so it'll help him out [according to his twitter]. Since this app is the core of the phone, and I use it everyday and it ensured a good experience, I felt it was worth the ~$3.50

Ex works great on my Vibrant and (with different settings) great on my G1 as well, couldn't be happier, I can understand pirating the app before buying (I did) since 15 minutes is NOT enough time to set this up, but that's a google problem, not an ADW problem and XDA is not the place for such talk. Either way though, if you've used ADW.Launcher in the past, you pretty much know what to expect.

The only thing I don't like about the app is that you can't just import your ADW stuff. You can export the settings and rename the file to match the EX expected name, but some settings cause it to error out (things like long pressing the desktop would not bring up any options). I was able to import (by renaming the files) the ADW desktop configuration, which was good enough for me (just make sure that you have the same amount of screens set up as you want to restore).

Support the dev, buy the app.

[General Questions and Answers] Boobalot:
I'm having trouble getting my HTC HD2 to run Android. I'm not sure if it is a data storage problem since my SD card is only 1 GB, or if it an unmatched Rom that i have, but here are some information if needed to know:

Radio: 2.12.50.02_2

Protocol: 15.40.50.07U

Rom: 2 Energy(?) 8G

This is what shows up when i first load windows. I have no knowledge of "rooting" or "flashing", so if there are anything that i need to do in order to run Android on my phone please let me know. To my understanding this is a off the market phone, so nothing has been done to it.

What i have done already is put the Android folder to the root of my SD card, and tried to run it. It loads up to the point where it shows the big HTC in the middle of the screen, but then it just stays there. I am only able to run Android 2.2.1 Froyo on it by following instructions on this link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=5969936 , however anything else i tried it freezes at the HTC screen(Desire build, or other android versions).

Hi to all XDA people

After many fight with my desire i, finally, solved a brutal issue.

My phone was rooted with HTC Froyo ROM (via Unrevocked 3.21)

After a OTA update my Desire go in crash

The ONLY way to restore successfully the phone was this below:

1) Download from google this file "PB99IMG_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.2_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_151783_signed.zip"

2) Rename it in "PB99IMG.zip"

3) Put it in the root directory on SD Card and insert the SD Card in your phone

4) Reboot your phone in Recovery mode (Volume button hold down and push ON button)

5) On starting in Recovery mode the phone check, automatically, if on the SD-card there is the PB99IMG.zip file.

6) Follow the instruction and, finally, you will have a new original ROM on your phone

After this you can "play" newly with your phone

Enjoy
