hehe - in response to the first part:

no - don't rename the folder to that. basically, the .nomedia is a file the GOES into a directory that you don't want the media scanner to scan.

The .nomedia file basically says, "move along! nothin to see here!".

So, a .nomedia file would have to be in EACH of the directories you don't want to show up. Keep in mind.. this won't hide them, and in regards to ur gf... a .nomedia file won't have any affect on the history that a media player might keep... so keep that in mind :)

To create the nomedia file, you can either find one on your sd somewhere, and copy it (pasting into desired folders)

or

open Notepad on ur computer, save the blank file as "nomedia.txt"

Copy it to your SD, in Astro, rename it to .nomedia (with no extension). and you're set.

PLEASE DO NOT CONFUSE MY THEME WITH VA SPECTRUM and SPECTRUM:eek:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello people.

This is my first time developing a theme. It took quite some time and I finally manage to make one that I really desired after a long time with some great software and the help of some people I met online and some of my techy friends.

I'm still new to developing themes. So do help me if there's some problem that I can never resolve by myself.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The purpose of this theme is simple. I wanted a theme that looked colorful-as I didn't like monotoned looks, with colors that best associated with icons and its attributes, such as the signal strength of data, or auto rotation. Also, since I wasn't good at making my own png files, I wanted to gather some of the nicest looking (to me) png files from all over android, and piece them together.

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] racerboy3801:
DUDE!

WTF

you copied my theme name!!! :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] artyte:
Sorry, but I think you're mistaken. I started this project weeks ago and didn't even look at any other theme besides r64s. So simply put it, I didn't see your theme name. I only wanted to associate it to rainbows, so I had to choose between spectrum and Roy B. giv. I thought the former sounds better so i picked it.

Again I apologize for having the same theme name. Besides, weren't your's called VA mix at first?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] racerboy3801:
LOL good story

no hard feelings man :)

yeah it was mix but i was told to change it

Apparently, the transparency isn't the windows 7 sort. It is just plain transparent, and too hard to distinguish the words on the transparency and the words in the background.

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] artyte:
I'm working on improving the colours once I got all the icons with its proper colours including highlights. It will take quite some time and wont come too soon. When you mean bolder do you mean more vibrant or just darker?

[Wing, P4350 General] Tribulattifather:
Are the folders placed in a centralized location: i.e. My Device\\My Documents or Storage Card\\My Documents\\Music.

its in root of storage card..

Try moving those folders to Storage Card\\My Documents\\Music.

Then in Windows Media Player choose to do a search for media.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poumpoum:
Hi everybody !

I just discovered today that in the Music app (and the Gallery app too) it was possible to rearrange bottom icons !

You have to long press one of the icons in the bottom list, like this (for those who don't understand what I'm saying :D) :

So here is my question : Is it possible to code new "icons" by ourselves ? Like a folder exploration one ?

Thx

[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Accessories] vja4Him:
I'm looking for a good stylus for my Archos 70 Internet Tablet 250GB.

I just found out that there are bluetooth styli! Would these work with the Archos 70 IT?

Also, I'd like a stylus with a fine point, so I can easily choose small font links.

I will use the stylus for typing (on-screen keyboard), clicking on links (small fonts!), gaming and drawing.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Accessories] jalandar:
Not sure what a bluetooth stylus would achieve, I may be wrong but I believe they are intended for use on non-touch screen devices.

I've been using NDS stylus' for the most part and have had decent success with them, plus you can find them in packages of 6 or more fairly cheap (at meritline or deal extreme). I found a nice extendable one for a couple bucks that has a fairly fine tip at meritline.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Accessories] vja4Him:
Thanks. I sent a message to Meritline inquiring about the fine-tip capacitive stylus. I didn't find anything on their website.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Accessories] hugsrwarmy:
You can actually search up any stylus that would work for the iPad.

Since the iPad is more common than an Archos at the moment (due to Apple and whatnot), most of the capacitive styli out there say iPad-compatible to bring sales up.

You can go to Fry's for a decent one. I got mines there for $20, and it included a full sized pen-size stylus with a mini one you can hang as a keychain. Neat!
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Accessories] JohnnyCanuck:
I'm using a Targus iPad stylus. Works fine.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Accessories] jgraper:
I have a Boxwave combo with a pen.

Works great
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Accessories] mikal75:
+1

I ordered it last Friday and I am waiting for it. From what I 've read it's one of the best out there
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Accessories] charleshenrysmith@comcast:
+1 good stuff
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Accessories] mikal75:
Do you think that screen protector affects the stylus responsiveness?

I got my boxwave stylus, overall I am ok but not "excited"... I believe that sometimes the response is not so good

I installed a screen protector couple of days ago. Do you think this has something to do?

Thanx

Mike
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Accessories] blogmaw:
In my case, a classic stylus (like a DS's) won't work
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Accessories] bug splat:
is there any chance of damaging the Archos screen using a hard stylus? We don't exactly have Gorilla glass on these things, screen feels soft.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Accessories] hugsrwarmy:
Yes, there is a change of damaging the screen with a hard stylus because the screen doesn't support it.

iPad-like stylus works just fine (I say iPad because all advertised ones I saw at Fry's or electronic stores sell them with the brand)
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Accessories] hugsrwarmy:
The screen protector will affect the stylus responsiveness and your finger touch performance, depending on how the screen protector was made. If it was a cheap one from eBay, it will be quirky at times. If it was made will at least some sort of technology built in (like those glue-less screen protector I'm using) will be better, but will still affect performance.

I've found that if you use a screen cleaning tool (like a spray and microfiber towel) it will smoothen out the protector and your fingers will be more responsive.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sboltman:
Before my first flash, I installed Android ID and did a Save ID. I never located the backup file (to copy off to my PC), I did write down the Android ID value displayed in this app.

I have since did my one and only flash... to FF 1.5.

I just now went back into Android ID app and it reports a different ID than the one I had before.

I am not aware of any problems due to this.

What should I do? It looks like I could manually enter my original Android ID value in this app, and hit Change ID. Should I do this?

thanks!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lrs421:
This belongs in Q&A but...yes you can do this. I do it everytime I flash. Some roms generate random id's when you boot up, others use the same across devices. You can change it to your stock ID using the app you mentioned.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikeyMike01:
If you have a ROM with the correct script (I know mine has it, and DG uses it) there's an update.id file on your SD card that will randomly generate a number the first time it boots up.

You should be able to change that in a text editor or whatever and put the one you want in.

Also. WRONG FORUM ZOMG
[Nook Color General] Rydsmith:
As an Android Tablet the Nook is not that bad. It is rather cheap, but very well built. Even with its 850 processor, it runs like a champ as well as works great for games.

But...as an e-reader I am VERY disappointed. When I went to purchase my Nook Color, I asked one very simple and direct question that would make or break getting the Nook; "Can I use it to read textbooks?" for which I got a very strong, "Yes, and they look great." Well, I just got back to school for the winter term and tried downloading my books to my Nook Color and received an error telling me that there is a problem and to try again later. After a while, I called B&N support and was informed that you can NOT read or download textbooks on the Nook Color.

From here, I am out a $550 investment because it has been over 14 days thus I cannot return it, and I have bought over $300 of e-books. While I understand that I can still read them on my computer, the reason I got this was for the portability and not having to lug around my laptop (which is a 10 pound Toshiba Qosmio). So as a college student the Nook Color has become rather useless and not worth the money sadly.
[Nook Color General] tangomonky:
I had a similar idea in mind when I bought mine. Just found pdf's of textbooks I needed and am using ezpdf to view them on my rooted Nook. Can also turn the pdf's into epubs and read with the stock viewer, but I found some books with strange formatting (math books) tended convert oddly.
[Nook Color General] bobzdar:
What format are the books in? Worst case, you have to root the book to install the proper reader...
[Nook Color General] Rydsmith:
They are DRM protected PDF files for which I have been trying to have the DRM removed for the last few days with absolutely no luck. I have tried to drag and drop but of course that doesn't work (with Calibre) and says that the device isn't authorized even though it is registered with Adobe Editions.
[Nook Color General] SCIONTX:
You used the calibre plugin for PDFs and it still doesn't work?
[Nook Color General] Canadoc:
If you root your color u can install overdrive media player or Aldiko reader. both apps will allow you to read Adobe DRM protected material.

I am using these to readAdobe protected epub and pdf books from my local and school library
[Nook Color General] Rydsmith:
I will try and install Aldiko tonight, but I still find it unacceptable that I have to root in order to use my item to read a book....especially for an e-reader.
[Nook Color General] KitF:
The place that sold your ebooks didn't expect them to be read on an e-reader. They're protected so that you can only read them on your computer. Not B&N's fault at all.

What you can do, however, is get a program that will remove the encryption from your books. The more reliable ones are pay-for. But like I said, blame the store that sold you the encrypted e-books. I had to help a friend in a similar situation since she bought study materials that were encrypted and she was able to find a program that decrypted the files.

I think the person at the store was expecting you to buy textbooks from the B&N store, which should work fine without needing DRM removal.
[Nook Color General] Rydsmith:
I have only bought books from the B&N store. All my textbooks were bought through them which is why I am very upset about this.
[Nook Color General] spikey911:
Well, the issue is not the E-reader...The issue is the anti-piracy measures that these companies use that interfere with legitimate owners of the material..

Should you have to root it? No....But....

Rooting will give you much better reading software than the stock Nook. Ezpdf reader is far better than the stock reader.
[Nook Color General] Rydsmith:
Also, I would say that it is B&N fault for this. If I'm buying a book on their site and see the words: Nook eBook available, and then am told that I can't use (not just THIS book but...) ANY textbooks on the Nook Color, that is a problem. Especially when I can load up the Amazon Kindle app and read ALL my textbooks.

Now one may ask why I'm complaining if I can use Kindle, the difference is that there are large price differences between the two sources.
[Nook Color General] Canadoc:
Fact is this was sold as a B&N bookreader that can also webbrowse watchsome videos...

Now you are asking it to view DRM material not purchased on the device. In stock form it isn't suprising it won't.

But it is easily rootable and will do what you need.
[Nook Color General] Rydsmith:
I think that you're completely missing the point that I bought the books from B&N by clicking on the Nook eBook button...not from a third party or from some other website.

That would be like buying a Playstation game via the PSN Market and then being told that you can't play it on your Playstation.
[Nook Color General] john10101:
Thats a big fail on the barnes and nobles website. but dont let that discourage you from the excelent features the nook color has. ?Yes you have to root it, but once you do that you have so much more capabilitys. Just make sure next time you buy a textbook you get something that does not have drm. if amazon offers the books, you can load the kindle app on the nook and read them that way.

Good luck. Im sure you will figure it out. I would search out an app to remove the drm.
[Nook Color General] huCarlisle1:
To the original poster.

The NOOKstudy program is only available on the computer for the time being; however, it is highly likely that it will make its way to the NOOKcolor via an app in the near future.

But textbooks that you download either from the publisher or your school will work on the NOOKcolor as long as they are epub or pdf.

The digital textbooks available from NOOKstudy are not available as of yet because they are still trying to work out the legal issues with the publishers. But it seems highly likely that once the NOOK application store opens in March they will become available.
[Nook Color General] notinterested:
Can you link this etextbook that supposedly said you could use it on your nook?
[Nook Color General] Canadoc:
Oh I wasnt aware of that when I posted. Yeah not clear by them. I think they keep nook books as separate from Ebooks.That said they should have worked. Were they bought via the B&n website?

Maybe via the library feature u could do the sync and they will show up as archived books?
[Nook Color General] mattcosta7:
nookstudy etextbooks are not compatible with any e-readers, as they are "too large, and image intensive".

this is on B&N's site
[Nook Color General] Adanedhels:
Ok heres your answer to the problem.....

Ok so the Nook Color does read the pdfs well, the problem of course is that you have no way to do so until they are cracked....

Well I can help you remove the DRM simply PM me (as I'm not sure about the legality issues and I'm not going to risk me, this site, or the creators of the program getting in trouble by mass posting the link). I'll link you to the place to get the files. Lets just say once you have the programs installed properly the entire process from encrypted to readable takes less then 30 seconds....

Adan
[Nook Color General] paleh0rse:
Aldiko should solve your problem. Let us know orbit doesn't.

Sent from my Nooted friend...
[Nook Color General] Rydsmith:
Few developments:

1.) Aldiko did not work to open the books. It just says that it can't open the file (PDF).

2.) Those that keep saying: "just find an app to remove DRM" have no clue what they are talking about.

3.) For the last damn time. These were books that I purchased on the Barnes & Noble website, I don't think I can make that ANY damn clearer.
[Nook Color General] paleh0rse:
You need to step back, take a deep breath, and chill the hell out if you really want help solving your problem.

The drm absolutely CAN be removed in just seconds. Take Adanedhels up on his offer... send the pm.
[Nook Color General] mattcosta7:
Please note: NOOKstudy eTextbooks cannot be read on the NOOK or mobile devices because textbooks do not display well on small screens.
