[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ausch30:
Thanks for the reply. 2 questions: 1) how's the battery life? 2) I noticed in the screen shots that the 3G Mobile Hotspot app was still in there. Did he mod it to work without any extra fees? Is there a benefit to using it over using Wireless Tether (which is what I use on my EVO)? I noticed that as late as v3.3 he included Wireless Tether.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PGleo86:
This is pretty good too. It gets pretty good battery life (although I am on an extended battery so your results may vary)

The main draw there is all the optimizations on it, the thing is fast.

It's also been very stable for me.

I haven't really liked the built in 3g hotspot, Wireless Tether has been faster and more reliable for me
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] setexascustoms:
Battery life is very good, and it actually doesn't include mobile hotspot. He includes WiFi tether, but it has the mobile hotspot icon.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ausch30:
Thanks. I know someone on the EVO section cracked the Sprint hotspot app so I wasn't sure if it was the same deal. Personally, I think wireless tether is better anyway.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] setexascustoms:
Yeah, there's a work around for the Verizon Mobile Hotspot. However, wifi tether works great and I'd rather just avoid verizon all together.

@ OP: The reason we close what's referred to as "Best ROM Threads" is because the vast majority of the type end up a nasty flame fest. The reasons should be obvious. It's really a matter of opinion, and then you get the fanboys of certain devs chiming in, and well, you get it. You did nothing wrong. My advice is to read, try a few, then make that decision for yourself. It's easy to find the most popular ATM, because they stay on page 1 of the dev sub. That doesn't necessarily make it the best, however. Give some a shot and see what's best for you. Enjoy the forums.

@ OPX2: Got your PM. I'll reopen and give it a chance. Let this serve as a warning as to the future of this thread.

Thread reopened. :)

SkyRaider 3.5 Sense, with my theme of course;)

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ausch30:
I actually really do like that, very nicely done. Still has that stock feel but just tastefully modified. First thing I noticed was the Gingerbread feel to the status bar and then I read the OP and saw that's what you were going for. I'm currently using CM7 on my EVO and one of the things I really like about it are the green accents.

Question though: I know the power control widgets in the notification tray can be modified, would it still keep the same theme if I were to change them up? (something like the orientation button, I think a flashlight or bluetooth button might be more useful in that spot)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ACD168:
Thanks man! I really appreciate it. You can change the toggles no problem and the theme will stay, let me know if you don't know how to change them

Bad News on the Skyraider front

Sorry to be the bearer, but the developer of SR has posted that he will no longer be developing the ROM. No further updates... He has done an amazing job, but unfortunately, personal issues stepped in the way.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ausch30:
That is unfortunate, thanks for the info. It does look like a good rom but I would be looking for something that was actively being updated so thanks.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PGleo86:
Right here I'd say Magnolia would probably be your best bet, even if only because it's being actively updated; it's fast, it's stable, and the time I've spent with it gave the impression of giving good battery life
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ausch30:
yeah, I definitely might be leaning more toward that. 2 questions though:

1) Do you know if the 2.6.32.17 kernel is the latest official? I was looking at the list of kernels and it was dated from October. I know there was an Incredible OTA in November, just wondering if you knew if that was the same kernel in that OTA. Just wondering in case I want to revert to stock from the modified version that's included with the ROM.

2) I noticed in the screen shots there was a notification bar power and control widget with a planet for it's icon, is that mobile data? From left to right they are WiFi, Bluetooth, I believe mobile data, GPS, screen brightness, and sound control.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PGleo86:

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KiNG OMaR:
I plan on going on vacation overseas soon and I'd like to take my G2 with me, except I'm afraid of frying it on the 220v standard around the word, because us Americans like to be different.

Is charging my phone safe on 220v, using the standard 110v charger with an adapter?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
If you look on the charger's label, you will see it actually has an input range of 100-240V at 50-60 Hz. The output (5V) of the charger is always the same, regardless of the input voltage. The charger is actually a small transformer, it steps down the voltage to something the phone can handle.

As long as you buy an adapter so you can physically plug the US 2-prong connector to whatever receptacle for the country you are traveling to, you good to go. A travel converter (the type that changes the voltage) is not needed.

[Nook Color General] dlloyd7:
I have a few etextbooks from B&N that only work on my laptop with the Nook Study app. I was curious if anyone knows of a work around to get them on my Nook Color? It seems that B&N is not allowing it at the moment. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

PS Adobe Digital Editions can also view them on my laptop
[Nook Color General] Buff McBigstuff:
If they have adobe drm look for an ereader app that supports it. I think maybe aldiko or laputa do but I'm not sure. I can't recommend removing the drm protection and converting them to an epub to read in a regular ebook reader because that is wrong and probably a violation of the use agreement you agreed to.
[Nook Color General] cal3thousand:
This functionality will be available in Aldiko 2.0

not sure about Laputa (<------ I always lol en espanol at this name)
[Nook Color General] hoodoomagic:
If you have Adobe Digital Editions running on your computer and you plug in your Nook it'll recognize it and register the device. You can also sign in with Aldiko with your Adobe username and use that.
[Nook Color General] peiziyu:

Anybody get an email yet saying theirs has shipped? Post here when u do
[Adam General] ahtiong73:
I been refreshing my page so often, still nothing.

15-22 Jan bracket
[Adam General] shanti.om:
I'm in the same shipping bracket (jan 15-22). It seems people with an expected shipping date of Jan 9 finally got their Adam shipped. So, we need to wait a couple of more days? ;)
[Adam General] gbishop18:
I'm the 15-22 also and have yet to get a shipping notice
[Adam General] shanti.om:
Rohan just posted unboxing photos of Adam in his blog.

Adams were shipped in 2 steps - China to HK, and HK to India. So, there is 2 tracking numbers for each unit and the 1st one (China to HK) is not share with a customer. So, I expect those people in the pre-order 1 batch will receive the long waited tracking number soon. :)
[Adam General] Prema:
Got the email with TNT tracking info today ;-)

Congratulation!

I hope they ship mine (Jan 15-22) before the Chinese New Year holiday.

[Adam General] can90:
Yes. Mine has changed to 29th too.
[Adam General] shanti.om:
Mine, too. Jan9 to Jan15-22, now Jan 29. So, it's a shipment delayed, not pre-poned.
[Adam General] gbishop18:
The February orders were preponed, ours were postponed. Possibly combining the February and late January orders
[Adam General] crajoh:
OK, time for me to post here, every post I have made on the NI blog is "awaiting moderation"

While it’s not life altering it is a bit disappointing that my shipment has been moved from the 22 to the 29th, but I’ll patiently wait. It’s looking like a pretty good piece of tech and I love my gadgets :)

There seems to be a lot of people on the NI blog who think this tablet is going to change their lives, I hope they are not disappointed when it arrives, after all, it is just a computer. Yeh, it’s definately the leader in its field at a great price… but it is still just a piece of tech.

My speculation for why there are delays is that NI are buying production time in a Chinese factory, so actual production days are out of their control. Surely if it was their own factory the production line would be running continuously and we wouldn’t have batch 1 / batch 2. Just my speculation and I have been wrong once once or twice in my life before. :)
[Adam General] murrshot:
Same here. None of my posts on the blog make it either. My last one was a my 2 cents, hurry up and wait being something im use too, just chill no need to stress since the lucky preorders while have their adams soon enough and will look back and maybe laugh. I'm just hoping it turns out all good and I will get a chance to order also. Its just tech, will all be looking for our next big toy after this one....still eye'ing a kinect.

[Adam General] joshua.lyon:
Same here... originally the 9th. Pushed back to 15-22. Now it's showing the 29th.

It was pretty clever of Rohan to blog about orders being "pre-poned" when in reality this only applies to the February orders which was the smallest batch of the pre-orders. Based on Rohans comment in the latest blog post, it looks like the next largest number of people were in the 15-22 range and their orders have actually been delayed yet again. What a creative use of the press...

Yes, cwm 2.x cannot mount ext4 files systems, which gingerbread uses for /system so cwm 2.x cannot install the gapps although it will install the rom fine. If you want to flash the gapps you are going to have to bite the bullet and install CWM 3.x

I am having problems with the default B&N reader app. When I first got my NC, I used put an ebook in the sdcard/My Files/Books folder. Then I clicked on it via the reader app and all was fine.

Now, when I try to sideload ANY epub file, I get the error message:

"Sorry, cannot open this book"

This happens with both native epub files and files I convert with Calibre.

Am I doing something wrong in Calibre or did something change?

I should note that Aldiko and moon+ both recognize and display the ebook just fine.
[G Tablet General] rushless:
The marketing VP of Viewsonic posts on this board and basically confirms that they are working on new Android versions for the G:

"Adobe and Google do not support Tegra II with Froyo"

"We are working on other OS versions, hint hint" The VP wrote the "hint hint", not me.

I know Roebeet has been busy with a big work project, but surprised the post did not ignite discussion. Does EVERYBODY have a big project with a short deadline? ;)

added:

I think 2.3 is coming soon, due to the support issues. JMO.
[G Tablet General] WantADroid:
Hmmm

Support from adobe and google will happen for the Tegra II(TABLETS) when the new OS hits. IMO it will be when Honeycomb hits not gingerbread, but who knows....
[G Tablet General] Neoprimal:
It could mean so much, I was actually trying NOT to think about or discuss it.

It could mean:

They're working on a port of the ZPad UI for the G Tablet. We know the G Tablet and ZPad are identical internally (and even externally, lol), so it wouldn't be far fetched to think VS has licensed (or whatever) the Zpad software from Malata and has it in their hands, working with it more directly - or maybe hired programmers to work on it on an official basis.

I no longer think of TnT as horrible, but I still think the dashboard section is unnecessarily bloated and way too static and rigid for an android homescreen environment. Feels more like a picture frame UI or a bedside device UI than part of an Android device and the 2.2 dock sort of takes care of those needs. XDA devs have done an exemplary and extremely commendable job with the ROM but after everything, people still have trouble with it from what I've read, so perhaps an official port by VS would work out for all the non-techies and typical users. Not to mention, you'd be able to get official OTAs as required/needed.

Security or not, I prefer the official OTAs than having to reflash the device through clockwork....the main reason I have remained on stock despite accolades given to TnT 4.1

They're working on/with 2.3 for the G Tablet. God, that'd be nice.

They're giving us something more standard/generic/closer to vanilla 2.2/2.3 and removing TnT completely. We know for the most part, that Froyo in it's more pure form, isn't tasty on the G Tablet MOSTLY because the hardware keys aren't backlit. I've always thought of TnT to be thoughtful because everything you can do from the hardware button(s) you can do from the toolbar. If they removed TnT and just wrote a new toolbar in, this would give us a more standard experience - paired with a newer kernel and newer tegra drivers, we'd have a more or less 2.2/2.3 with benefits experience.

So yeah, I don't like having low expectations but they keep me from hoping too hard/high and that way I won't be TOO disappointed if it really means a different version of the very same TnT with a few 'bug fixes', aka TnT 3452/3453.

[G Tablet General] rushless:
Yes, but at the cost of correct sdcard & sdcard2 mapping for the Gtablet? I loved CM roms on my G1, but hardware is too splintered now to cover all the hardware bases.

Not mention other hardware issues that CM is too general to make work correctly.
[G Tablet General] thebadfrog:
CM7 is using the correct Gingerbread mapping of sdcards.
[G Tablet General] WantADroid:
Viewsonic release

What I was getting at was the fact that Viewsonic has yet to release an OFFICIAL gingerbread release. I still think that Adobe and Google will not give support to our tablets until they have an OS designed for them.

I know we have hacked ROMs that are based on Gingerbread, but I want to see VS take the next logical step and get us a real OEM OS..
[G Tablet General] tcrews:
Well hopefully then Viewsonic is SKIPPING Gingerbread because that is not a tablet supported OS just like Froyo.

We need Honeycomb to be the OS they are working on. Motorola is rumored to release the Xoom (Android 3.0 "Honeycomb") in late February.
[G Tablet General] WantADroid:
Agreed

I agree, Honeycomb would be best... I don't think Motorola will get it all together and released by the end of February. I would love it if they did, then at least we could get a good source code!

Hopefully OfficialVS will come back and update us like he promised...
[G Tablet General] spykat:
Gingerbread eh! Honeycomb would definitely be sweet. Now I'm in no way a techie, I am good at following instructions, with that said Notion Ink ships today would it be hard to port the eden UI over to the G-Tab? I'm curious what all the hype is about with it being that they both run the tegra chipset.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Themes and Apps] p0rk burn:
I'm familiar with changing the icons/files in framework-res on the phones, I assume the process would be the same on the Archos Gen 8s. I understand we don't have a nandroid backup to load if we screw it up but messing with the SDE version of Android somewhat alleviates that fear.

Am I right that it should be the same?
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Themes and Apps] fzelle:
Yes.

Just keep in mind that you need to use a version like UrukDroid that gives you writeAccess to /system, because SDE only doesn't work.

Thanks. I'm using Uruk 0.4.1, so I'm ready to get to work.

This is mostly to fix the stupid Talk notification icon (am I the only one that has two white pixels on top of the talk bubble?) but I know from past experience it will soon progress to sick days, missed family events, and late night arguments with my wife as I desperately attempt to tweak just one more thing to get rid of the urge. . .

Thanks for the link but don't think this will really help as it is. The script tries to mount the /system folder on the internal nand, which won't work for us (well, not using the UrukDroid root, anyway). Should be able to tweak the script though.

Have tried replacing the framework.apk manually with an edited one, and set the correct permissions (on UrukDroid 0.4.2), but all I get is a black screen after the second Archos splash screen. Have done it the same way I did on my Desire, by editing the contents of framework-res.apk, rather than unpacking and repacking, but I guess there may be a signing issue here. I forget how much of the hard work Clockwork recovery does for you! Also, it may require edited the services.jar, but I'm not sure how to do that, or what needs editing. So far, all I did was try to change icons etc.
