[Nook Color General] cal3thousand:
sort of working?

OK....

so after charging on USB port (all I have at work today as I forgot the base to the charger), it will bootloop again... yay!

problem is... the bootloops take too much juice and won't allow me to fail 8 reboots. I can't even charge it up enough since I'm on USB charging and it keeps trying to turn itself on.

2 Options i see:

1) Go home and charge it on the wall and see if that helps

2) Discharge it to death and return within my 30 days (X-mas gift)
[Nook Color General] Geezer Squid:
Doubt this will work, but have you tried putting in an autonooter sdcard and then plug it into the usb? If it tries to boot maybe it will boot from that sdcard?
[Nook Color General] edison:
Boot from the Froyo SD card, then fix /rom/devconf/BootCnt from ADB.
[Nook Color General] Nate731:
Cal you never mentioned if you cleared the user data... Did you?
[Nook Color General] cal3thousand:
If you mean the 3 button reset? Yes.

If not... I did not because I'm not aware of it. (couldn't through the UI of course)
[Nook Color General] HotShotAzn:
Try Geezer's tip but do this:

Do three button reset WITH the autonooter card in there.
[Nook Color General] cal3thousand:
Got it working

Finally got it working after creating a Nookie Froyo card and booting off of that.

Then I reinstalled ADB on my work computer and reset the BootCnt file to 8...

that successfully restored /system and then the 3 finger trick actually gave an option to wipe.

Now to start over.

New Question: How likely is this hardware related and should I be looking to replace it before my 30 days is up>?

I am thinking of purchasing a Motorola droid with a car mount/media station for cheap (probably around 100$) and i was wondering if i could use it as a gps without cell phone service?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Visionikz03:
i wouldn't see why not... gps is simply a signal just like wifi(if its free of course) it would be just like buying a tomtom i would imagine... try putting ur phone into airplane mode and testing the gps :D
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkrodgers:
Of course, do keep in mind that both Google Maps and Sprint Nav need a data connection at least initially to download the route information. The new GMaps is supposed to be able to work offline once it does the initial route, though you may need a connection if you veer off course.

There is at least one app that works off maps on the SD card, but I can't recall its name right now.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] backdown:
I will tomorrow.

If you think of it, please let me know!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkrodgers:
CoPilot Live lets you store the maps on your SD, or so they claim. The reviews on the market aren't too great though.

http://www.alk.com/copilot/android/

There are others as well, a quick search yields:

http://www.mapdroyd.com/

http://www.ndriveweb.com/products/product/96/

http://www.sygic.com/index.php/en/how-to-buy.html

Perhaps others too. But I can't vouch for any of these. I'm fine using GMaps even with the data connection requirements. Especially now that you don't need a data connection all the time -- only when generating a new route. I'm not sure whether it can handle simple missed turns without a connection or if it doesn't cache anything outside the route. I haven't tested that yet.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilverZero:
I've never found a maps or navigation program that I like other than Google, and I've tried pretty much all of them. They're a hassle to get maps for. The new GMaps does cache tiles, though I haven't tested it extensively, and I don't know that it caches maps in the Navigation program (which I use all the time as well).

GPS will lock even with no cell service. But unless you find a good offline map app, you'll just have your nice little blue arrow showing you exactly where you are on a plain gray featureless map. ;)

Hey guys, where can I find information about how to change one of my java programs such that it runs for android (eg MouseListener ---> onTouchListener) I know the the android website has info but can someone give me a direct link as to where it is because as we all know, its a huge site.

Basically, I have a ready program that I need to change(UI's etc..) so that it can work for android.

Ok this is a sample program. Can u guys gimme an editted version so i can base my real program off of it :D

import java.awt.event.*;

public class Box extends JApplet {

public void init() {

DisplayBox display = new DisplayBox();

setContentPane(display);

}

}

class DisplayBox extends JPanel {

DisplayBox() {

setBackground(Color.red);

}

public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {

super.paintComponent(g);

g.setColor(Color.green);

g.fillRect (10,130, 80, 140);

g.setColor(Color.black);

g.drawString("Box", 15 , 85);

}

[Android Software Development] Jonathon Grigg:
When you say Java program, do you mean written for a desktop OS or actually written for Android? Because I'm sure that while the Android SDK uses Java, many of the APIs are different, so it may not work properly if you did change it.

But then again, I have never attempted this before, so I may be wrong ;)
[Android Software Development] siddysidsid:
I mean a program written to run the computer yes :D Like any basic program such as hello world.And i am using eclipse to run an android simulator so it will run with only with the android code and not just basic java.....
[Android Software Development] nellyspageli:
android doesn't have swing.

you are going to need to create the ui using xml.

res > layout > main.xml

there are tons of tutorial on how to make ui's for android all over the web.

http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/index.html
[Android Software Development] mainerror:
Well you are not forced to create your layout using XML you could define it via Java too but the fact remains that you have to rebuild and redesign your user-interface and probably your user-interaction mechanism too.

Hey guys, hoping you guys can give some insight to a noob on this. I am looking to install a good rom on my phone. I'm leaning how to do this, but what I am looking for is speed and functionality. Themes are not that important, but would be cool. I do have the DK28 and is rooted, so I might need a good video to show me how to rom this phone properly. But as far as rom's go, I'm looking for one that is a really good rom.

Thanks in advance

Welcome to Rooting your phone. As far as the best ROM? There is no one best ROM, everyone has a different preference and outlook on speed. Any of the latest EXT4 ROMs will probably suit you though. Here is a link that will help you pretty much with everything you need:

I did it. Viper rom installed. Was not too hard. Found a good video for it. Thanks for the help everyone.
[Epic 4G General] blu9987:
The fun part is thanks to nandroid backups you can try out a ton of roms (I flash a new one every couple of days, now I'm back at dl18 playing the waiting game)

From what i've seen most roms share all of the major fixes and use similar tweaks and optimizations that they borrow from other devs... and the only notable difference i've seen between them is theme and how much they include in the rom extras wise (apps, live wallpapers, etc).

Viper rom has a lot of updates but I wasnt too much of a fan of the overall look of it

Mammons bonsai rom is lovely and I <3 it

Midnight Rom is excellent too and one of the best themes in my opinion, though if i remember correctly he does away with Twiz launcher and uses launcher pro(could be mistaken though i'm really tired and have used too many roms)

Epic Experience was the first rom that I flashed and works great, but I was mainly playing with the others lately since they have more frequent updates

Quantum Rom - daemon is brilliant and am looking forward to his next release

Supernova - I did try it out but I honestly don't remember what features it had

Nebula - Tried this out too, supposed to be more stable/straight forward rom for stable professional people who dont want inflated quadrant scores or flashy live wallpapers (I might be quoting a different rom, if so i apologize)

Syndicate Rom - Awesome as well but its not for dk28 xD

Overall all the roms are amazing the only differences REALLY notable to me is that some use AOSP lockscreen by default, some use TWiz lock/launcher, some use ADW... launcher pro... but all of that is changeable with a flashable zip/apk...I tend to prefer mammon and quantum rom nowadays since iirc mammon made the call log fix and gps fix and daemon is doing all this ext4/cwm work and they seem to be leading up the race with innovation and knowledge (not saying others arent knowledgeable... i know nothing of developing i'm just guessing here)

EDIT: forgot to mention, only reason im not on dk28 right now is that personally I have minor bugs with it such as the one where you call somebody and it doesnt ring or make any sound but it actually calls them, and some other minor issues. I figured i'd wait for official froyo to drop and continue testing out roms when I get bored :)

Oh and theres also cyanogen mod which is sexy and amazing but is prebeta and buggy (signal bars not working, MMS is broken, etc)
[Epic 4G General] megabillzilla:
Although I agree that he could have been nicer about it, these posts absolutely do not belong in the development forum. Questions about "which rom is best for me?" Definitely belong in general. The reason some people (myself included) aren't often very nice about it is becase it is increasingly becoming a problem. The op really should take the time to read the stickies before cluttering up the dev forum. Everyone should.

Also, calling someone a jackass- even if they are being one- almost never shows them the error of their ways.

Thanks to both of you. I as a beginner in this didn't know where to post. Thanks for the lessons.

P.S If I do change rom's do I have to flash everytime and lose my apps and info? I save contacts on the SD card, but will stick with viper rom if I have to flash the phone for other roms. It get's kind of time consuming.
[Epic 4G General] yungdizz:
It is best to get titanium backup (from the market) that way u can back up your apps and you can use Backup to Gmail (also from the market) to backup contacts, call log, and messages. That makes flashing different roms a lot easier. (In my opinion)
[Epic 4G General] smoothone:
This does not belong here. Follow the forum rules. Even this little rom question belongs on General!
[Epic 4G General] blu9987:
Aside from titanium (which i never really used much, guess I should try it out as it can make backups every night while you sleep if you set it to)

You can also make a NANDroid backup via rom manager//clockwork mod which when you restore will restore everything down to cache to be the same. same texts in your inbox even xD.

EDIT: Also if you have your phone linked to a google account when you go through the setup wizard (on some roms) it auto downloads the apps you had installed before from the market as well as contacts, etc. But if you want an instant restore to the same settings/wifi/etc then I prefer nandroid (idk if titanium does all that I think it just backups apps)

also note that along with most roms you can customize them to your liking. you can change the boot animations (given they use a kernel that allows it... if the rom has a custom boot animation already it'd work by flashign one in CWM), theme, battery look, keyboard, launch options, lockscreen. You could always just get a not-flashy basic rom that incorporates the basic fixes that people want (faster gps lock/5mb mms/call log fix) and theme it all yourself in the themes and apps subforum. The gingerbread theme is nice and nova has a list of boot animations and battery mods in his supernova rom page :3. If you're interested in that I'd say go for epic experience as I'm partial to it and he includes an "extras" page with downloads to all that hes removed such as the live wallpapers, samsung widgets, etc.
[Epic 4G General] lviv73:
Remember one thing,yes you can do nano backups/restores when trying new roms and it makes it a breeze.But when you find the rom that you gonna use its always best to odin to DK28,reroot,and the flash.If you do this your new rom will be snappier and will have minimal problems,because when you flash different roms and especially kernels there are gonna be leftovers that may conflict with your new rom.

And Titanium backup or anyother backup is also a really bad idea when swithing roms,unless you updating to a newer version of that same rom.

[General Questions and Answers] z33dev33l:
Do you really think the Nexus S will make half the splash in the phone world that the Nexus One did? I am no longer an android fanboy as I feel android has passed it's prime but I do want to pose this question. I mean the Nexus S seems good on paper but really all it is is another galaxy S device with a front facing camera. The processor is still the same which will likely lead to the same buffer issues that caused lag on the other devices (though some blamed this on touchwiz) and it still feels very cheap and plasticky. I think the majority like at least a little heft with their phones, not a paperweight but enough so you know that if you drop it it wont break like an egg. I wanted to find out the opinion of the XDA community :)
[General Questions and Answers] Smirny:
I'm thinking quite of the opposite: I think the Nexus S will have a bigger impact on the phone world, since you're able to buy it from real stores and more places than just online without a contract. Most people who buy cellphones don't want to put down the whole $$$ right then.

And what I'd be curious of: Have you held one in your hand and tested it on beeing "cheap and plasticky"? I have a Galaxy S and I'm pretty happy with it, I don't need any type of metal to ruin my reception.
[General Questions and Answers] TheBiles:
Unfortunately it is a little "plasticy." I'm afraid to set my Nexus down on any surface that might possibly scratch plastic, and when it's hot my hand gets VERY sweaty on the plastic backing. It's also an ungodly fingerprint magnet. One of the prime reasons I'm switching to a G2. Why have a "super sexy" phone if it's only "super sexy" after I scrub it with a microfiber cloth and set it on my desk without touching it?

* no led notification

These are big disappointments for me. I don't want an " i " like device so stupid how Samsung is trying to model after it. Wish HTC made the successor to the nexus, at least updates with them are reasonable.
[General Questions and Answers] TheBiles:
To be fair, the updates with the Nexus S are handled by Google and therefore basically instant.
