[Epic 4G General] vita10gy:
One of the most frustrating things about my hero is that the turnaround from out of pocket to being able to snap a photo is roughly 10 days.

With the epic's dedicated button, and faster everything, how quick can you go from pocket to photo? Do you have to unlock the phone first, or is there some sort of push twice (like menu) to unlock/to to camera?

For the most part if we're posing pictures we use our actual camera. Other than for quick "upload to facebook" kind of pictures I use my cam mostly to catch the dog/neice doing something cute. Dogs and 2 year olds don't hold still very long, and if I lose one more can't-miss picture while I'm waiting for my hero to wake up, return to home, accept my banging on the camera icon, load the app, and get ready, it's going for a ride through a window.
[Epic 4G General] BeerChameleon:
Well u will have to unlock the phone first, however if u just have a plain old touchwiz lockscreen or the other one and not the combo lock, you can get apps or a widget called "Lock Screen Switch Widget".. Then your lockscreen is disabled, or you can use widget locker on the aosp lock screen and make a shortcut slide on the lockscreen to the camera.

If u do turn off the lockscreen, just hold down the camera button when you turn your screen on and bam camera.

Hope this helped a little.
[Epic 4G General] vita10gy:
A little, I'm ok with unlocking the phone, that was more or less just a curiosity.

My main question was how long does it take to go from a phone in your pocket to having the picture on your card.

Assuming you turned it on

unlocked

pushed the camera button to get to the app *

pushed it again to snap the picture *

How long does that take? I know it's subjective, and none of you have held a stop watch, I guess I'm looking for responses along the lines of "there's almost no delay between the camera app being requested and a picture being taken" or "it goes from locked to loading the camera app quickly, but it takes a couple seconds to get to a picture ready state" and that type of thing.

*This is how I'm assuming it works, let me know if that's not the case, but no matter how you do it, my main question is the time.
[Epic 4G General] othan1:
It takes a fraction of the time than it did with both the Moment and the Hero.

That being said, it's still not fast enough to catch a pet or a child doing something cute unless they sit still or hold a pose for about 5 to 10 seconds.
[Epic 4G General] vita10gy:
5 seconds is usually the amount of time I'm silently screaming at my phone because it's not responding to the home button, and sometimes the screen isn't on yet, so I'll take 5-10 :)

CM6 and custom kernels has made the phone much better than it ever should be, but I swear my phone has a detector in it that detects how badly it's needed at a given moment and works inversely proportional to the moment.

It's lag free when I'm just turning it on to check email and crap, but when I need a picture, or to know if I should take the exit coming up, I can't even get the screen on. :):mad:
[Epic 4G General] leatherneck6017:
I put an icon shortcut to the camera on my home screen for quick access (I have 2 kids). From pocket to picture in under 5 seconds.
[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
I just tested

It took about 5 seconds to take it out, unlock,press camera button to open app and shoot lol
[Epic 4G General] smooney3:
Yeah, same here. Roughly 5 seconds from pocket to taking the photo. The biggest part of that time is pushing the power button and actually unlocking the phone. If it's already on and you have a shortcut on your homescreen, you're looking at 1-2 seconds, tops.

I feel your pain, though. I came to the Epic from a Hero and it was a huge relief just to be able to take a photo without having to clear an afternoon to do so. Plus, the quality of the shots are so much better on the Epic.

Not to bash the Hero, of course. It's still a great phone. My wife still has hers and loves it and my cousin is quite happy with my old one. CM6 makes it feel 100x faster than stock, as long as you didn't want to play 3D games. In fact, I'd still have it if they hadn't started releasing so many great games that I wanted to play, lol.
[Epic 4G General] vita10gy:
Thanks for testing fellas.

Why do both of you have the icon on the home screen though? Does the camera button not open the camera app if you're not in it? (only snap the pic once in?)
[Epic 4G General] leatherneck6017:
The camera button will open the app, but there is a delay of a second or two (to prevent accidental camera activation). I also have a shortcut on my screen to the video camera, accessing it "normally" requires starting the regular camera and switching modes.
[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
I don't have a shortcut

The camera button opens the app immediately. It takes a second to vibrate and viola! Camera time! Lol

Also the camera button is 2 stage. Push it a lil to get the pic to focus in the middle and finish pushing it down to snap. Its a lot more convenient than my hero used to be hahah not to bash it cuz it was a great phone, but that processor hindered it so bad lol
[Epic 4G General] smeyerhuky:
With cm6 or some other lockcreen replacemnt aps. You can make a gesture built into the lockscfeen. So you can open the camera app dikectly without unlocking the phone even.

I just press power draw a big c and voila camerfa open in time t catch my 2 yr old son freestyle with his unce playing guitar... less than 4 seconds just tried it
[Epic 4G General] MysteryEmotionz:
Before flaming me and telling me to post this somewhere else ect ect..... This is devolpment related. I would like to keep this thread clean so only respond if you know what your doing.

Ok this about the themed 2.2.7 market. I'm trying to make this universal and to work on different roms for the epic with out making rom specific themed markets.

I already know its do to the roms and sprint. Sprint uses a carrier generic market having to put there own twist on things. But since we don't have official froyo I know you guys have been tricking the market threw the build.prop to think where a different phone so we have access to all the apps. Is this little tweak what's causing all of us headaches? Our should I be looking somewhere else? Is there a way we can make one themed market universal across the board?
[Epic 4G General] MysteryEmotionz:
How did I know this was gonna happen. I'm tally quick on telling people this but I feel as this belongs in the devolpment section as I'm trying to devolp a themed market that works across the boards and the problem I'm having involves the roms
[Epic 4G General] ecooce:
I dont think the buid.prop is the problem,but Im going to test your market by tomorrow on my ROM and see what happens,if all goes good Ill let you know,and Ill add it to my ROM.
[Epic 4G General] dereknjenny04:
I don't see why this would be general either, it is about development of an application. Shouldn't be restricted to just roms.
[Epic 4G General] JettMartinez:
I'm sorry, but this is just dumb. If the development section isn't for the discussion of development by developers what the hell is it for? I'm starting to think this is a bot that just scans for a question mark in the first sentence of a post.

There's more to development then advertising ROMs.
[Epic 4G General] ecooce:
I agree,I dont kno what has gotten into whosdaman,mostly does a good job.But for this question pertaining to development is surely supposed to be in the "development" section....Get your eyes checked whosdaman.

Hey, how about moving this back to where it belongs, in dev section?

[Galaxy S I9000 General] djglenn1337:
I was in the Republic of Ireland over Christmas with Family.. I had Data Disabled whilst roaming, which prevented the phone from connecting whilst away.

Now that I have returned the phone will not establish a data connection, and I have re-stated it multiple times to try and rectify the problem.

In setting "Use Packet Data" is ticked, so I do not know why the phone wont connect to the internet.

Can anyone help?

I am running 2.2 on official O2 UK JP3 flash via Kies.

on a side note, is it me or has the Swype Keyboard got worse with Froyo? It seems less accurate in working out words for me.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] djglenn1337:

[G Tablet General] nlehman:
I have TNT Lite installed and configured the way I want it on my tablet. I was wanting to try out Vegan to see what it is like but I don't want to lose all of my apps and configuration if I go back to TNT Lite. I already backup everything using Titanium and Clockwork. If I install Vegan and wipe the data will I be able to go back to my old TNT Lite the way it was? Is there a way to do this?

Also, is there a way I could choose at boot which firmware to use? Kinda like dual booting.

Thanks!

You can go back with clockworkmod - just do a restore of the backups you did and everything is restored, including user data.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shyamk:
I have this strange problem.

I did the s-off using the alpharev. Once that was done, I experienced random reboots and phone lockups.

So, I decided to revert back and used the 2.29.405.2 ruu to get back to stock htc image.

Now, I am unable to root my desire using un-revoked. The phone freezes after doing the hboot and pre-boot sequence. I tried downgrading my hboot and I continue to experience the same problem.

Is there a way to get the phone to factory conditions ? I use a MAC. Can I use the RUU exe instead of the PB99IMG.zip ?

Has anyone faced a similar problem before ?

Any leads/pointers would be appreciated.

And yes, I am not a newbie and can find me way out through the adb forests !

Thanks

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
RUUs are Windows applications. You could just get the 2.29.405.5 PB99IMG and flash that to go back to the latest stock ROM

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mblaster:
Are you using the current version of unrevoked or just some old version you found on your harddisk? Older versions could not root froyo based roms.

€: Perhaps they also patched something in 2.29.405.2 that prevents this rooting method.

What is the ideal case for your Nook Color?

Is it one that is available or not?

What are some of the features you would like it to have?

Do you want a fold case that covers the screen?

Is the micro usb port in a convenient location?

Looking for some ideas. Working on a shell now for a mold. Not sure if anything will come of it but want to see what you all are looking for in a case. Feel free to post your thoughts. Thanks.
[Nook Color Accessories] fugitoid:
I would like to see a one sided hard cover that can protect the screen when not in use and snap onto the rear when in use. Probably use the typical four corner frame system you see in many cases so nothing is obstructed.

Also, have a stand "system" so that when it is snapped to the rear you can prop up the NC. Maybe something like what you see on back side of keyboards. And like some keyboards I've seen, have different levels of lift. One lift level that slightly raises the NC off the surface, for typing and such. Another lift level that is like the leg stand you see on the EVO 4G or Archos 70, for video/picture viewing and the like.

Heh. First post around here. Been meaning to chime in on a thread and this is the perfect one to start. Only because I've been looking for something I described but there is nothing out there yet.
[Nook Color Accessories] drp1:
I'm looking for an inexpensive silicone gel skin, something I'd keep on pretty much all the time. I'm also keeping my eyes open for sturdy travel case.

There seem to be choices out there for both, I'm just waiting a bit for more of them to hit ebay.
[Nook Color Accessories] drp1:
I missed your last question about the micro usb port. IMO its not in a good location because its awkward when trying to read while charging, particularly when reclining or lying down. I'm concerned about putting pressure on the usb cable, especially considering its not just a standard cheap cable. Not sure how a case will help this, though.
[Nook Color Accessories] techboydino:
ill be trying out a few designs once the mold sets. i can add a ribbon cable in the case to move the USB port to the sides which I might try. trying to keep it thin but actually worth putting on.
[Nook Color Accessories] norkoastal:
Are you designing desktop/multimedia cases as well? I would love additional speakers on the NC and also a magnetic swivel X mount stand for desktop use.

ideal nook case

looking for something very close to this case

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0040VNRTG/ref=oss_product

just substituting the swivel belt clip for a kickstand

[Nook Color Accessories] knodalyte:
Rube Goldberg lives; or, is this even possible?

You asked for the ideal, here is mine. Not at all sure it is doable....

1. In the interest of keeping the total package as slim as possible, no back, unless it is necessary to support other features.

2. [Front] cover has a slot for a pad of paper and/or corner slots for index cards.

3. [Front] cover is hinged on the right (I'm right handed and I want to be able to write easily).

4. [Front] cover has a foldover flap to keep the paper or cards from contacting the screen when the cover is closed.

5. The cover can fold 180 degrees so that the cover lies flat against the back of the tablet.

6. The cover can support the Nook as an easel in landscape mode.

7. The cover can support the Nook as an easel in portrait mode - this might involve some sort of short extension legs or other support to raise the lower edge of the Nook an inch or so (and this might help with the need to plug in the USB connector at the bottom).

8. Bonus points for the ability to fold out a handle attached at the lower left corner when in portrait mode, sort of like a hand mirror.

9. And of course it should be strong, light, durable, elegant, and less than $40 US.

I'm ready to order as soon as I see the pictures of the finished product.;)

Thanks for the ideas everyone. Haven't worked on it in a few due to being out at CES. Unfortunately there were NO cases out there.

This is my cheap (free) case for my nook color. It’s the zippered case for my trucks instruction manual. The patch covers the ford symbol; if I need to hide it in plain sight I can pull the patch off and leave it in the back seat. It fits perfectly and there is a plastic divider on the inside I can put business cards and a small pad of paper (as others have asked). All I keep in it is a set of skullcandy headphones in an microfiber Oakley sunglass bag for cleaning the screen.

Perfect case for the Nook Color

Before I bought my Nook, I had a Pandigital Novel that I bought on eBay.

In the same eBay search results page the Novel appeared on was a great case called BookArmor. Although it was $35, I bought it. And I haven't regretted it either.

The BookArmor case comes with a set of velcro-like pads that stick on the back of the tablet and allow it to be fixed to the case. The case itself is laminated steel and plastic covered with textured fabric. It zippers shut and the zipper sides are soft and stay out of the way when the case is opened. You have total access to all side buttons and ports. The inside surface that comes in contact with the screen is covered with a soft foam pad.

When I decided to get the Nook, I found out that the case I had for the Novel is the exact same case for the Nook Color. I really like this case and haven't even considered another one.

For more info go to extremeinkjet.com and click on BookArmor cases in the blue left-hand column. Pick any Delta 6 case ... there is a Nook Color one. Checkout their video at the bottom of the page.

It looks like this case is really popular too ... there aren't any left on eBay and the extremeinkjet site shows all out of stock for the Delta 6 case. Amazon shows one Delta 6 left for the Pandigital (same case) but it doesn't even show up for Nook Color.
[Nook Color Accessories] OB1J3D1:
I don't know if I'd call it perfect. But, I bought the B&N case with the vertical flap and ribbon with magnet on the end to hold it closed/open. It works well for me.

If they were available in store when I bought my nook, I would have also considered the silicone one. Although, if I went that route, I'd probably prefer the otter box version with the hard resin exterior an rubber liner. I would also have considered the black leather pouch one where you completely remove the nook to use it.

Alas, none of these were available to me when I made my purchase so I'm using what I have.

With either the otter box or the silicone I would gain a thinner form factor. But, I would never be able to completely cover the screen. With the pouch one, I would gain the thin form factor when using and would not add much when transporting. But, it's basically just a branded leather sleeve.

In the end, what drew me to the case that I bought was the vertical flap and ribboned magnet. 1 - with the horizontal flapped ones, the magnet does not flip around to hold the flap to the back of the case so it's open like a book with the flap dangling out the right side. 2 - with the vertical one that I got, you flip the cover over the top, move the magnet to the back to hold the cover in place and you have all your nooky goodness to go to town with!

Just my 2 cents.

[Nook Color Accessories] roustabout:
Also in the home built mode, but it took a little longer, I wanted a cage around the device, rather than the loops.

I'm pretty happy with the result. Mag closure, 359 degree wraparound cover, cover acts as a stand, inside cover has soft lining, outside rear cover is in corduroy - a lot my nooking is with the device in my lap, and I wanted it to resist skidding.

The whole thing looks very much like a book, which is vastly preferable to me to the "show off my fondness for electronics." The cover that faces the the screen is reinforced with thin plywood resting on the wooden rails - not crushproof, but crush resistant.
