Why not just skip Gingerbread and go straight to Honeycomb when its available? What would be the reason to upgrade sequentially?

Sent from my Nooted friend...
[Nook Color General] dhoshman:
Maybe It doesn't take much to get me excited because I actually was blown away by the tabs (and a few phones) at CES. Dont get me wrong my NC isn't going anywhere I love it rooted or not (I am def rooted). I love using it for my business and sitting on the couch or in bed and searching the Internet and using apps from the market. I will def be getting the Xoom or the LG or the Toshiba tablet.

I would say that Having the nook has made me want another tablet and not the other way around. These things are really useful, "DEPENDING" on what you need it for. Honestly I think most people could get bye with just a tablet and not need an actual Real Computer lol. Honeycomb looks awesome the usb ports bigger screen and the fact that it is a "True" tablet also make me desire one. The Nook is great and I don't think it can be touched at its price point now or for the near future so its gonna probably go strong for a while. Win Win
[Nook Color General] vap0rxt:
I liked Honeycomb in the videos I've seen, that's the only thing I'm kinda jealous of. Although from what I know so far is that we as NC owners have an upper hand, I don't see many other Android phones or tablets bootable via SD.

And likewise I don't need 3g and 4g bills and now with "data caps".

If only it had a kick stand like my Evo. :rolleyes:

Android user since Nov. 2008. My old G1 is currently running v1.0. :p
[Nook Color General] heartbeatek:
as for me...

1. NC is best choice in price-quality relation.

2. B&N promises that our NC will get Froyo with Google Market so it will be a tablet (news from Ukraine`s best IT web-resource).

3. NC has good battery (~8h) and good capacitive screen. These are the big advantages.

4. The problem of the devices presented in CES is a long time of supplying it to the market.

As for the Honeycomb it will work only with dual-processor systems, but dual-core processors from NVIDIA are sold in a large consignment, so many Companies do not risk to buy them. Thats why we will not see Honeycomb on NC and other tablets with price lower than 600$ in near future.

Result: NC is the best choice
[Nook Color General] t140568:
If something is going to replace my nookcolor, it will need to be mind-blowingly awesome. And I don't believe "mind-blowingly awesome" made an appearance at CES this year. Only thing out there that stands a chance (for me) is the Notionink Adam -mostly due to that PixelQi screen. Though I still think its cost-to-awesome ratio is still a little low for me.

Sent from my NookColor via the XDA app.
[Nook Color General] gtriever:
B&N has made no such claim about Google market. In fact, they have stated that the NC will remain "reader-centric" with access to a B&N Market.

As for me, the NC does what I need a tablet to do. I don't need gps, camera, or microphone, although Bluetooth would be nice.
[Nook Color General] urbanengine1:
I Agree... but you have to remember that bluetooth is on the way: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=897934

[Nook Color General] rogerdugans:
People have different needs and desires in computing devices-

I am another who has zero interest in cameras or 10" tablets.

7" is the only size I personally find viable for a tablet; at 10" I'd prefer something with a real keyboard and full ports- a netbook or laptop. 7" can still fit in my pocket at need.

A rooted NC is almost perfect- bluetooth, which is a work in progress right now, and gps are the main things I see missing, and BT may take care of the other.

USB host would be nice since the microsd is a pain to access, but this is just a small plus and not something I see as crucial.

As it is right now, I consider the NC the best available tablet for under about $500 or more and that is just way too much for a tablet.

And it is definitely better as a tablet than an eReader- B&N's app is broken (can't read in landscape mode!!) and while Kindle for Android works well, a few aspects of it are funky thanks to B&N's software (toolbar interferes with scrollbar.)

A lot of folks seem to want something that will be a full notebook replacement, and that's just fine- but I don't.

Small, good battery life and cheap are all things required in my book- ebook, that is. ;)
[Nook Color General] techboydino:
That is false information. There are NO CPU hardware requirements for Honeycomb. Screen possibly, but doubtful. I think it certainly will be possible to run it on the NC. Lets start with working 2.2 and see where we end up.
[Nook Color General] spikey911:
I believe you mean it may be on the way......

I was excited there for a second thinking there was a new breakthrough..
[Nook Color General] waxlabo:
I am impressed with the nookcolor, it was not even meant to be a tablet and it performs better than some of the tablets out there now. :)
[Nook Color General] paleh0rse:
Honeycomb does NOT require a dualcore processor. That rumor was officially put to rest by Google during CES.

[Nook Color General] mlucero:
The ability to do some light surfing and read some books, and play some apps if I would like to are what makes me so happy with my rooted nook color. I hope you folks keep working on getting the honeycomb on there as that would make this even more kickass.
[Nook Color General] nootered:
Right now I am perfectly content with the NC. And at $249 I don't believe that any respectable company is going to be able to touch the device, at least at this price point.

I have found that the biggest issue with the NC is it's software, the hardware is quite substancial, in terms of power.

I will wait to see what Apples offerings are in the spring, and wait until late summer or fall to look at another tablet that may be able to replace my laptop, which is a Macbook Pro with OSX/Windows 7 installed.
[Nook Color General] markiejones:
What I don't get is why these things cost so much! Netbooks have so much more under the hood (except for capacitive screen generally), and cost a 1/2 or a 1/3 what these are. plus they pay for MS licensing. I don't get why these things with off-the-rack parts and a free OS (I think it's free right?).

The Nook is only a relative bargain. It's really about what these things should cost, if not, less. Maybe it's the Apple affect. They get away with insane pricing due to fan loyalty and free press coverage. (they're good polished products, but that's not my point). So people say "If people are going to spend $500 on this tablet, they'll spend $500 on my tablet. We need to say "no" we'll spend $200 on a tablet, or $500 on some kind of mega super tablet that will do everything including foot massages, and shoot meth out the hdmi port.
[Nook Color General] fwdixon:
Why do phones cost as much or more than a decent desktop? At some point miniaturisation increases cost.
[Nook Color General] Str0ntium:
I'm in the same boat that thinks this is a great deal and will be for a while. Those shiny new tablets won't be any better for a while. Unless of course you rely on them for 3D gaming.

Just give me Froyo, on the NC, and I'll call it a day. Has practically the same hardware as my DX. Don't need camera, mic, or GPS. I have a phone, for all of that.

Edit: oh, and the main reason I want Froyo is for API8 LOL. I REALLY want to play Electric Box 2.5 on this bad boy with this damned badass Dagi stylus WOOT!

Edit: Edit: I forgot to mention that I 3D game on a 40" i-7 lol. 7" will never ever be as good as 40".

Think about the battery upkeep with that, though. Not a selling point, for me. Sure, you can do all these wonderful things, GTab. But, your battery leaves me lacking lol.
[Nook Color General] bah!:
As a heavy reader, I loved my Nook Color from the day I bought it. As someone who enjoys tinkering with my gadgets and found sites like this one, it's far and away the best tech purchase I've made in a long time.

The Nook Color is worth every penny, and I don't see any tablet coming close in the price/performance department (to a rooted Nook) any time soon. A week before I bought my NC I had an iPad in my shopping cart and decided to put it back and I'm glad I did. Unless something really amazing comes out I don't see a need to be shopping for another tablet this year.
[Nook Color General] liquidgroove75:
They have to make money somehow....
[Nook Color General] markiejones:
Good point. Another idea is that the hardware folks aren't selling golden geese, like apple,whose make a ton on their music and video sales. I guess thats the ame reason nookc is cheaper- it does make sw sales w these.

[Nook Color General] FrasierCrane:
I'm thinking that 1.1 GHz with the Nook's other hardware will run Honeycomb quite adequately, although some of the 3D animations might need to be nixed. If that's the case, then the NC will serve my tablet needs perfectly for the time being.
[Nook Color General] james robinson:
With the price point, numerous customization options, and ongoing development from the Android Community, you would be hard press to find a better tablet!!! Plus, if you get the two year warranty from BB, if a new NC model becomes available, then you can upgrade to the newer model!!!
[Nook Color General] fixitsteve:
Had a Galaxy Tab and never used the camera, gps, or 3g. Returned it and tried out a slew of tablets including the Gtab and others. I have been extremely happy with the NC. It does everything a tablet should at a fraction of the cost. The screen is the best asset. All other tablets in this range have horrible screens. Build quality is also unmatched. Trust me, you will waste your time and be disappointed after spending too much if you look elsewhere.
[Nook Color General] kusuriya:
Really for the price point and how relatively easy it seems to be to hack Im happy with it. I mean seriously for how cheap it is and what it was designed to be what more can you expect out of it, especially if you try to compare it to new tablets that are coming out.
[Nook Color General] drvenom123:
Like everyone one else says, $250 for the NC is hard to beat. Also, the development from B&N and the community makes it even a better deal.
[Nook Color General] Ashon1980:
Can you provide a source for that statement regarding the upgrading your nook if a new one becomes available. I looked on b&n website and there was nothing like that stated on their website.
[Nook Color General] Nimocone:
He was talking about the Best Buy warranty. I'm not aware of that myself, but definitely worth looking into if that's the case.
[Nook Color General] wowmail:
I went on a business trip last week. I enabled tethering on my EVO (for business reasons I can not root the EVO, so the company pays for tethering), and left my macbook pro at home. Took my rooted 1.1ghz nook color along and a USB charger.

I never missed the laptop! I did love the weight reduction in my travel baggage!

Sprint eliminated the cap on 3G/4G tethering, it's now unlimited on 3G as well as 4G, the old 5GB - 3G cap has been dropped. :)

Thank you,

Joe
[Nook Color General] j.gunnell:
I love the price because the size is perfect, there is no camera (etc) that I'll never use. its fairly durable, and of course, easy to hack (currently on honeycomb)

[Android Software Development] jhruda:
I would like to make APP which simulates SIM card in software on android. I would load 2 or 3 SIM cards into phone and then I would chose which one I need in android.

Do you think that it`s possible to be done? I don`t know how phone communicates with SIM card, it`s by SW or HW?

Thanks for any advice.
[Android Software Development] jhruda:
to make it more clear what I want, I want it to work like deamon tools in Windows for cd-rom, but i want to emulate sim cards
[Android Software Development] 00Ghz:
You can get most of the source code from market enabler or market access. It does that in order to allow users to buy apps

XDA App
[Android Software Development] rwxer:
Actually I doubt that it's possible to emulate SIM card, take a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subscriber_Identity_Module at least.

The SIM card is designed not to allow the Ki (Authentication key) to be obtained using the smart-card interface. Instead, the SIM card provides a function, Run GSM Algorithm, that allows the phone to pass data to the SIM card to be signed with the Ki.
[Android Software Development] jhruda:
Thanks for reply. Market enabler doesn`t do what i really need. As I looked in the source code of it I found that it only rewrites system variables in which is stored Operator ID and string ID of Operator.

I know SIM cards have protection, but I know that there are ways to copy it, don`t know how yet but it`s not my problem right now. My problem is if it`s possible to emulate it in android or not if I will have it copyied.

Thanks.

Flashed TwoPointTwo over the weekend. Did a nandroid backup first, then wiped data. Afterwards, used Titanimum (free version) to restore selected apps.

I found that my saved (and locked) voicemail messages are gone. Is there some way to retrieve/restore them without reverting to the old ROM? If I restore the previous ROM from nandroid, will I find those old messages?

Thanks...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craigbailey1986:
I think.... saved voice mail are not only saved to the phone but also the voice mail server.

They will not show back up in vvm unless you unistall vvm.

Make sure your vm number in settings is your cell number

Then reinstall it.

After the provisioning they will pop back up

This is what I did when i was using cm6.1.1 worked like a charm, hopefuly it helps you

What are your folders once extracted? It will be in one of them! ;)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cattleprod:
do you mean it was there an now its gone??

also have you hooked up phone(charge only) to usb, opened command prompt and type adb devices to see if adb starts? cause it may just be placed in different folder in sdk. think it does in new sdk but can't remember which folder doh .

no thats were i downloaded from, both windows and linux hold on il go into windows an have a look ;) but have you try running adb you can only start it in command prompt (cmd.exe) if your using windows xp. just right click in any windows from menu choose command prompt,plug phone to usb,make sure you have usb debugging on in phone(setting>application >development) and then type adb devices and see itf adb starts for you.

try doing this.

You have to install platform tools from "sdk manager.exe".....adb will be under the platform-tools folder after that

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hopscotchjunkie:
As already stated, it is not installed with the SDK by default. In the tools folder there's a text file called "adb_has_moved.txt" which tells you that you need to launch the SDK and install "Android SDK Platform-tools" to get it. Like chrisz5z said.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paulckruger:
It showed the tools to be installed but after I just did a new update that file now appears under /platform-tools

I guess for some reason the original install of the tools did not complete yet still indicated in the SDK that it was installed.

adb and fastboot tools

The adb tool has moved to platform-tools/

If you don't see this directory in your SDK,

launch the SDK and AVD Manager (execute the android tool)

and install "Android SDK Platform-tools"

Please also update your PATH environment variable to

include the platform-tools/ directory, so you can

execute adb from any location.

Platform Tools missing too

Hi, Guys

I've been trying to install this and came across something weird that may help someone later on.

As the OP stated, adb.exe is "missing". I can confirm that the issue is definitely that you must download Platform Tools from within the SDK Manager. I tried to fetch all repos but found nothing, if this happens to you, you may be running a proxy (like my office does).

Make sure to set up the proxy rules in SDK Manager. This can be found under Tools > Options

Hope this helps.
