[Nook Color General] glayourt:
Hi,

I've rooter my NookColor, and I'm using Nookie 0.5.9

I'm set french keyboard, lots of things everything is great.

My last (for now problem) is that I "burnt" the nookie 0.5.9 on my 8 GB Micro Sd card and now when I use it, It says it's a 1 GB card and I've go 800 KB left on my card.

Is there a way to resize the partition to get my 8 GB available ?

I tried to find a post about it, but I didn't suceed..

Thanks for your help.
[Nook Color General] KitF:
If you're on windows, you can use the free Partition Master software to resize the sdcard partition of your SD card. It worked fine for me and making Nookie use the full 4GB of my card.
[Nook Color General] glayourt:
Great !

It worked perfectly, very easy to use (just drag the right size of the partition then apply ..

takes less than 2mn and now I've got 6.4 GB free :)

Thanks
[Nook Color General] madfatter:
You can also use EAUSUS( just google it, its free to download, you would also use this to get sd back to one partition if you ever wanted to) to resize partition. This is mentioned in a few other threads as well if you had searched a bit
[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
Ahem.. Yep, should have read it closer.
[Nook Color General] Mikroft:
You should really read his post isntead of acting all high and mighty. He's using Nookie Froyo. If he did what you suggested it would wipe froyo off his bootable sd card.
[Nook Color General] madfatter:
dont do this. he is referring to fixing your card after you make used it for autonooter. as previous poster said, this will wipe your nookie froyo
[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
Yep, you're right, my bad. There is such a proliferation of nonsense about how to format the SD card after Auto Nooting I missed he was using NF.
[Nook Color General] glayourt:
Actually, with what you told me it's great, on my Nook, I have 6.4 GB Free..

I downloaded a movie, it worked great, the 6.4 GB are really available.

But I have one problem.. I cannot put files from my pc ...

When I connect the NookColor to my pc with the usb cable and select to "Turn on USB storage", I can see the boot partition but not the 6.4 GB partition

I tried to pout the memory card directly in my pc (not throw the nookColor), and it does the same.

I also tried with the disk manager of windows to try to attribute a drive letter but it doesn't allow it.

Actually this is the partitions on my SD Card:

- Boot ( J: ) 118 MB Fat32 Sane, active

- 149 MB Sane (unkown partition)

- 698 MB Sane (unkown partition)

- 6.44 GB Sane

What are tose 149 and 698 partitions ? Are they necessary ?

How can I activate the 6.44 GB partition to be able to transfer files from my pc ?
[Nook Color General] glayourt:
Anyway ... Thanks all of you for giving time and sharing your knowledge !
[Nook Color General] glayourt:
No solution to my remaining problem ?
[Nook Color General] animatechnica:
The img uses up only 1 gb so yo have another partition that holds thes free space. go to settings and mount sd n format
[Nook Color General] glayourt:
you mean with the nook or with the PC ?

from the nook I can R/W on it

but I cannot see the partition when on the pc (so I cannot transfer files)
[Nook Color General] animatechnica:

[General Questions and Answers] spiderdan:
Occasionally I like to watch some very long video podcasts, but I usually only listen until it sounds like something important is happening, then I go back to the video. This is easy enough to do on a pc, but I would like to do the same thing on my droid. Does anyone know if such an app exists or if it would even be possible? From what I have read, older versions of android require a video "surface". Not sure if this holds for 2.2/2.3. Even just being able to shut of the screen would help. Thanks ahead of time to those who provide insight!

Have you tried Act 1 Video Player? I can't post a link because I am new here. I saw a review for this app, and it says it has a "play in background" option. The review said it cost $2.49, but there is a free trial version.

I currently use an iPhone. I had a Motorola Atrix for a few days, but returned it, because I could not get it to play video podcast in the background. That was before I found the review for the above mentioned app.

I've been using auto memory manager for a long time and before that advanced task killer. Are these kind of apps even need in froyo?

My only 2 concerns are battery life and performance. Is the stock app manager good enuff?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roscoenr:
For the longest time I did the same thing then I started heating that it was not good so on tried it with out and I can not tell a diffrence rather way in performance or battery life. So I decided to leave out off for the space even though it's not much
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masterfuel:
In my experiments I saw the battery life to be worse when using task killers with Froyo. I dont even mess with the open apps on my phone anymore.. This is because android is designed to keeps apps in the process tree so that they open faster.. However the "open apps" take up little to no memory. What I do mess with however is the Running Services. To get here go to Setting/application/ runnings services.

Hope it helped!

Hey guys just a general android terminal question. I'm messing around with compiling done sources on my phone. I'm fairly new to android term but have had xp with linux.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingdazy:
Hello EVO users,

I am new to the EVO section, but not to XDA. So I thought I would shoot a quick question or two, perhaps helping me make the most important decision I will make this year. ;)

About to get my upgrade from the Hero in a few weeks, and like any android obsessed nerd, been browsing the specs, comparisons, etc, but most importantly browsing the ROM forums here on XDA.

And of course, the two phones I am looking at (since I am on Sprint) are the EVO vs the Epic. (Perhaps a mild interest in the Shift, but that has yet to really be reviewed enough for me to consider just yet.)

When one considers ROMs, community dev, the obvious winner here is the EVO. (Just Look at all those lovely ROMs! And MIUI even!) And likely, because of that, I will be getting an EVO.

My main question/topic for posting today is this, and perhaps someone can enlighten me:

Looking at most of the camera comparisons, the Epic is (imho) a clear winner. Natural colors, better definition, better night video, etc. And to be frank, I am a bit of a shutterbug with my phone. So there is my reason for hesitation at all. Of course, anything has to be better than my Hero, and the better CPU would (i assume) mean that I could take full res pics without a 20 sec "post processing time" lag. :D

Obviously, specs-wise, the EVO should be better. And from what I am reading, HTC in some misguided attempt to improve... something... is over-saturating the colors. On purpose? And loosing res as an result? (And perhaps, regardless of MPs, the lens on the Epic is a better glass?)

So, is this a function of the software, or something inherent on the CMOS? Or some other hardware based issue? OR, is this software based, something that a different camera app would fix, or something that has been "fixed" in a ROM with better drivers/software?

Feel free to enlighten me on anything/everything that I may not be considering on this. (I repair/build computers for a living, and been an Android rooter-flasher for about a year now. Still, there is much I don't know, and even less on these phone specifically.)

Further, if anyone wishes to get off topic here, tell me anything else I might want/need to know, either for or against choosing either of these phones, feel free. Like ... GPU? (Epic "has" one, EVO does not?) Screen glass/brightness? Battery life improvement with new ROMs?

Thanks for your time!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beastmods:
i have rooted many evo and epics. But i own the EVO myself

Cyanogen has made major camera improvements to the evo. Has all kinds of tweaks that make amazing pics if you know what you are doing.

There is a xda thread of ppl posting their pics with their evos and many of them are amazing.

Also the cyanogen team is working hard on the 2.3 gingerbread. Have been running it on my evo for the last two weeks and it is amazing. Gets updated almost everyday and is getting better and better.

I do wish someone would make some nice panarama features for the evo like the epic has.

Also way better cases for phones that do not have slide out keyboards. I rock ballistic case because i work constructions and it is the best.

Anything else you want to know just ask!:D

hi all,

i've had my defy a couple of months now and i'm loving it.

just about the only thing i dislike about it is, i often accidently press the search key on the bottom right of the phone as i normally hold it with my right hand.

is there any way to disable the key? i know there's no inbuild way of doing it, so i guess we'd be looking at a hack.

i never use it, so wouldn't miss it at all.

If your phone has rooted, you can uninstall or remove the GoogleQuickSearchBox from the system/app. It helps.

Finally I got almost everything straightened out. Compiled my own tun.ko based on my kernel. Load tun.ko without problem even after reboot. Test it over 4G and wifi. Works flawlessly. But when I connect through 3G, the tunnel is up in my cisco ASA without any traffic passing through. I can't ping any local network in my company. I added the VPNC flag: --natt-mode cisco-udp in the vpnc gui application. But it doesn't work. Still no traffic. Our ASA is using UDP 500 to communicate. I did a quite time google and couldn't find any better answer for it. So turn to here for help. Please. Really appreciated.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:

Also turn on debugging while using this.

All this does is push a SUPERUSER.apk into your files, so you won't even have to reboot, but i suggest you do.

-open the program

-connect phone with debugging on

-click "start" root, you'll see some thigns going on the program, its doing something to your system idk, im not a dev or anythign lol, then it pushes a superuser.apk and then your good to go.

-reboot suggested RIGHT AFTER IT TELLS YOU ITS FINISHED, but not needed.

Hey, I have the exact same issue here. I am also running froyo with the same build. My guess is that u got ur streak in the uk. Anyway, I have tried z4root and universal Androot.

Haven't tried Superoneclick though. Was hoping that would have been my saving grace but now that u mention u tried it with no success in wonder how people have rooted their devices with froyo.
