[Nook Color General] rogerdugans:
I have charged my NC with the cable from a cell phone. It takes a LOT longer and in fact, doesn't seem to keep up with even moderate use: wifi and web browsing and battery will slowly continue to go down. Just not AS slowly as being unplugged.

But it does charge.
[Nook Color General] TchnclFl:
Hopefully someone will find a way to make the damn thing charge without verifying that it's using a Nook cable.
[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
False, it does charge. I assume at .5A, but it's possible it's lower. Haven't looked.

Plug it into any USB source using any cable providing 500mA, it will charge. It won't SHOW it is charging, as it doesn't appear to show charging unless it's on the fast 1.9Ah speed the Nook charger + special Nook cable provides. However, if it's idle enough the thing does charge.

Sitting on my desk playing with adb one day plugged into my workstation it charged 20% in a little over 2 hours. Of course that's pretty slow, but consider this is a 4.0Ah battery, you cannot compare to your phone charge times unless you multiply by 2.5 to 3!

So 20% over 2 hours would be 50-60% over 2 hours on a typical Android phone battery.
[Nook Color General] jve34:
you say it charges, but leaving it plugged in from being dead to the Nook wall charger but to a standard USB did not charge it at all. No power

I have no doubt that the nook cable, plugged into a PC will charge it. It is the cable that is different.
[Nook Color General] rogerdugans:
Here are the ways that I have verified that my Nook Color wil charge:

NC wall charger/NC usb cable- best and fastest

NC wall charger/Droid usb cable (standard) - charges slowly

other USB wall charger/either usb cable- charges slowly

computer USB/NC usb cable- charges slowly

computer USB/other usb cable- charges slowly

What I have NOT done is completely drain the battery and test.

My guess is this: it charges slowly without a high rating charger and the special NC cable and when it is dead it takes a LONG time to get enough juice to boot.

Another possibility is that device variance has kicked in and while most people seem to get at least a trickle charge out of any cable/charge source we have, other units simply will not.
[Nook Color General] jve34:
that is kind of what i was thinking, the fact that it was dead was not enough to even charge it properly where as if it had kind of been charged then maybe it would be more noticable that it was charging.
[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
It charges no matter what cable or charger as long as it's providing reasonable current. Most USB ports and non-fast chargers provide 500mAh.

If it's dead I don't know, I don't do that to LiIon batteries.
[Droid X General] lqaddict:
One of my buddies at work has a rooted Droid X, and I couldn't believe how laggy it is, even compared to the stock JFD Vibrant.

I am not here to pick up the fights with "my phone is better than yours" type of replies, I am just looking for any pointers how to help my buddy because my Vibrant with Nerov3+voodoo (2.2 ROM with /system, /data, /dbdata and /cache converted to EXT4) runs circles around his DX.

I am not sure if it is an app or something that cause this (he does not have much installed), but even looking at the youtube vids of DX his phone feels like it's limping on a half a leg.

So far I know he is running the latest OTA and his phone is rooted, I checked his /system, /data etc are EXT3 - I assume the stock DX has a proper FS unlike my Vibrant when it was stock.
[Droid X General] blockhead42:
It's probably the blur elements. A custom ROM fixes that quite quickly.
[Droid X General] lqaddict:
Thank you! I will suggest him to join xda and flash a custom ROM.

Sent from my Nero powered Vibrant
[Droid X General] thepolishguy:
Blur shouldn't make it lag that much. Some of his settings might be slowing him down. If he is trying to be real conservative on his battery and set it to "conservative" - it is going to throttle back his CPU usage to try and maintain better battery life.

Need to check a few things like that.

what kind of scores do you get in quadrant on your phone (if you aren't boosting them with the stagefright etc)?
[Droid X General] lqaddict:
I will see him after the New Year's and will check.

I am not sure what Quadrant scores he is getting, but the phone obviously not performing to its full potential. I get around 1500 Quadrant with EXT4 converted filesystem, it is under a 1000 stock. The boost in score is def the filesystem read/write + a small bump due to JIT on 2.2.
[Droid X General] sistemacaido:
Once rooted try to get setcpu and leave it at 800Mhz permanently. That fixed my issues with lag. Of course a new Rom wouldn't hurt since Stock Verizon/Blur Rom sucks balls.
[Droid X General] sandman2025:
A few things I do to speed up the x are; turn off push for e-mail, freeze the stock applications I do not use via titanium backup, and use fast reboot when it slows down anyway. I still have some lag issues but these help. I'm ready for the incredible Hd so I can drop the x, this Motorola device just has never met the mark for me plus I miss sense.
[Droid X General] rossiscatch:
That's my plan too... I wish Motorola gave a similar option like on the original nexus one bootloader...
[Nexus S Accessories] ashura3:
I went through 3 or 4 different cases with my old Vibrant. None of them were good enough by being too big, being too lose, having an uncomfortable material, etc. Then I got Case-Mate's Barely There case and completely fell in love! I'd really like to get one for the Nexus S as well.

I voted. Right now I have the platinum case from BB (made by seidio) and I have to say its ok but there is a little wiggle. I've never been a fan of the two-piece cases for non-slider phones. I prefer my case to clip to my phone than having it clip to itself. The other case I was really fond of on my Evo was the Fishbone one. I'd like to see one of those for the Nexus.

[Nexus S Accessories] ashura3:
The entire accessory situation for the Nexus S is annoying. Motorola had tons of stuff available for the Droid and its derivatives soon after release. The Xoom is getting two docks and an awesome looking case on release. Very frustrated. :mad:

I'm doubly frustrated, at myself though since it's my fault, that I've dropped the phone once already and have gotten some of the plastic front bezel chipped off.

[Nexus S Accessories] SupaDupaFly24:
Mid March? They said Mid Feb just a couple of weeks ago UGH.
[Nexus S Accessories] zephiK:
havent dropped it yet. Its probably because the Droid is a more mainstream phone whereas Nexus S is built for ROM addicts/developers/etc. Not for the average user.

Hello,

I have a Galaxy S and I was just wondering, is there much point updating to a custom ROM as it's on the latest firmware from OTA (2.2) & if so what's the best custom rom available at the moment?

cheers,

Kevin.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] larsn84:
Hi...

Im new in the SGS rooting too, but I guess my answer goes for any brand of mobile, when regarding to running a custom ROM.

With a custom ROM you get a "cleaner" ROM. you can choose which one suites you best, and often, the ROM is deoxed e.g. and is running much smother, than any stock ROM.

Regarding my choice, Im going for Darky's ROM.

I often look at which ROM people use the most, but also, if its build on stoc ROM og stock android ROM. If it is stock android ROM and you are planning on using a custom UI (ADW launcher e.g.) hte phone wont take up place with Touch Wiz UI ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keveye:
okay, so I've decided to use Darky's ROM - but on the tutorial it says to install Recovery2e (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=788108) I downloaded it and extracted it but it's a zImage file as opposed to a .tar file

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crossrocker:
Nope. You have to flash themes and you gotta be rooted for that.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
Not sure what the issue is, but you can use the above or adb.
[Desire HD Android Development] liam08:
I couldn't find a guide for this anywhere, so after a lot of trial and error, I worked out this method from various write ups on the web.

Preq's:

Make sure your battery is fully charged (I have no idea why, but it seems to be a must do thing)

You'll need the Android SDK, so make sure you have this and you'll be needing Fastboot for Mac, which you can find here Fastboot

And you need to boot your phone in fastboot mode.

Drop the Fastboot file into to the tools directory of the SDK.

Download your desired radio image and put it in the same same folder.

To make sure Fastboot is working, open Terminal and type "fastboot devices"

(without the speech marks) and hit return. You should see:

XXXXXXXXXX = the unique number of your phone.

If it doesn't display anything, you need to re-check SDK and Fastboot are installed properly.

If you do, carry on.

Now, the nervous part.

1. Open the tools directory of the SDK in a Finder window and the open a Terminal window.

2. Now, drag the 'fastboot-mac' file in to the Terminal window.

3. Type this (make sure you hit the space bar after typing) :

4. Now, drag the radio.img to the Terminal window

(It should read something like this)

5. Hit the return key and wait. Make sure you touch nothing.

6. When terminal has given you the "Okay" message twice, check you phone screen and make sure there isn't a red loading bar on the top left hand side of your phones screen. When this is done, type:

And hit return.

7. Your phone will reboot and you're done.

If I've missed anything, let me know and I'll add it.

[Desire HD Android Development] teliib:
This seems to be an odd way of doing it.

Just download the fastboot-mac binary from the htc developer page. Drop it in the platform-tools folder of the androd SDK.

Start a Terminal and run:

/path/to/platform-tools/fastboot-mac flash radio radio.img

make sure you have radio.img in the current directory where you invoke the script.

First of all i would like to point out that this in not really a new theme

It is actually the framework from Manny-

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=877465

With some changes and corrections made by me

1. Changed animations of battery when charging. A lightning bolt is now showing wherever u charge the phone.

Also when battery is lower than 30% the status turns to yellow

2. Corrected the landscape lock screen

3. Corrections to some disabled buttons that where not showing properly

and other stuff ...

For the rest of the files i used most of the icons found on draco_ags' topic here: http://xdaforums.com/show...64&postcount=1

plus some from shivenjuneja's Gingerbread Nexus S Edition(2.3 icons) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=883359

Some of these icons were edited again by me and some were done from scratch

So all credits go to to these people really.

I just combined them all together and put some finishing touches of my own so as to make it a more complete Simplistic theme.

Requirements: You will need a 2.1 rooted x10 mini or mini pro.

I'm not responsible if you brick your device, use at your own risk.

I have tested on my mini pro and so far so good.

For installation instructions you will only have to replace the original files with the ones i provide.

Make a copy of the original ones in case you want to revert

For more details read carefully the guides in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=877465 and http://xdaforums.com/show...64&postcount=1

Remember, just replace the same files with the ones i provide.
