Saga with Adam? Do tell........big issues with shipments and arrival dates?
[G Tablet General] vnbuddy2002:
Not much to describe. After series of delays, my pre-order was on 12/09 and supposed to shipped Jan 09. However, it got delay after delay for various "reasons". It ended up with Feb 15, 2011. Finally, I fed up with it.
[G Tablet General] copc:
Welcome, I can imagine you will enjoy your gtab, at least 100% more than the adam, since you never got it :D

I'd play around with stock a bit then root it and flash either TNT or Vegan so you can see what they all offer you as a user. Heck you can even download the adam port thanks to the devs to see what adam is like.

Please post your thoughts about the gtab after you have some time behind the wheel.

Enjoy the gADAM mod, if you want an "almost Adam". :D

Im on the newest version of Pheonix rising rom. I just flashed a new theme over that just happened to be compatible with it and i like it except for 1 thing. Swipe Keyboard is black with orange letters(Id like them to be blue). Also come to think of it. how do i change the lockscreen?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] trekie86:
Well I haven't flashed 4.5 yet but I'm running 4.1 In that version to change the lock screen go to settings->display->Lock screen

There were 4 options in 4.1, once 4.5 finishing downloading, I'm flashing to that.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B2L:
I just unlocked and rooted my nexus s. Now im trying to stop the phone from reinstalling the custom recovery image and all im getting is problems.

I put in the command

mount-o rw,remount/dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

And every single time i get

mount-o : permission denied

Anyone have any ideas? im worried about rebooting my phone now cause i don't want to go through the whole process again. After reading around on XDA it doesn't seem like you are required to do this. Does anyone know if it will reinstall the custom recovery image if i don't do this step? I have searched everywhere to figure out the problem. But stilll im coming up with nothing. I have found people with other devices that have this problem. But nothing about fixing it.

If anyone has any ideas i really need help ASAP
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] risegeek:
try and grant yourself superuser & then try.

"su"

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krohnjw:
You need a space after mount. -o specifies the mount options. The command is mount
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] risegeek:
aye, didn't notice that, couple of needed spaces. I've modified my original post.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B2L:
Thanks i tried it but now it says mount-o not found.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krohnjw:
If it says mount-o not found there's not a space between mount and -o.

mount -o remount,rw .........
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B2L:
Sorry I read the post about the space after I posted it. But of course I'm having more problems sorry for being such an idiot.

After putting su the command works. But then I try

Mv install-recovery.sh install-recovery-no.sh

It says no such file found. Sorry if I sound like an idiot. It's just rooting my Nexus S is much harder than it was to root my old mt3g.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AtomicPC:
No Android expert but I have experience with the CL. Pretty sure you're going to need to cd into the dir or write the full path to the file.

BTW what are the cool kids using for command line these days? Any of them have tab type features? ex: cd /syst<TAB>/me<TAB> for cd /system/media/
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sarge363:
I just used root explorer to rename the install-recovery.sh to install-recovery-no.sh. It disabled it from flashing over the clockwork mod recovery on reboot. After disabling it I flashed clockwork recovery again permanently.

Edit: The file is in the etc folder.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B2L:
Thanks i tried to just rename it with Root Explorer but it says it's a read only file. I can't figure out how to change it so it's not read only.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortedloop:
you have to include the path

su
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
mv /etc/install-recovery.sh /etc/install-recovery.sh.bak

or

su
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cd /etc
mv install-recovery.sh install-recovery.sh.bak

It's really just a lot easier with Root Explorer. If you use root explorer app, you have to push the little button at the top that says "mount r/w" or something like that. I usually do that rather than run the mount command, because I always forget the syntax for that one. :eek:
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sarge363:
Yeah just hit the "mount R/W" button on top when u open Root Explorer. It changes to "Mount R/O" and u can rename it after that.

[Desire General] DJ 1:
Hi, i`ve had my Desire a few months now, (first Android device).

I decided to sort out all my contacts via the Contacts manager on the Gmail website, as i had loads of them sort out, my old phone hadnt sorted them very well at all so i had to re-enter every contact.

What I`ve noticed is......IF i add a new contact (or edit an existing contact) via my Desire, it`ll stay on the phone ok UNTILL SYNC has occurred, then it resets all contacts Purely to what is on the Gmail site.

Is that normall?? Surely it should update the website with the new Contact ?

The only real way for me at the moment is to add a new contact via the gmail site, this way i just Sync phone and it appears but i should be able to do it from anywhere

cheers
[Desire General] Meaple:
I think if the contact has the same details, then it'll merge them or something if the contact is still on the Gmail server. Only way to get around it is to delete it off the server and phone then put it back in as a Gmail contact. Or delete it off your phone, make sure it syncs with the server then put it on or edit it. Something along those lines anyway. Sorry if I have gone a bit wobbly with my answer.
[Desire General] DJ 1:
i tried add a `new` contact earlier today, as a Gmail contact from phone earlier today, it didnt merge nothing as i was carefull to pick something random, perfomed a Sync, it was removed from phone, not on Gmail site....even as a Gmail-contact....
[Desire General] Meaple:
It shouldn't be doing anything like that at all :S maybe if you remove the Gmail account and re-add it on your phone it might help. Just a weird thing to happen.
[Desire General] chrismast:
agree, should not happen. seems that it is only using a 1-way sync?? I am also using Gmail's contact management with my Desire and it syncs 2-way, tried it with a contact and an additional phone number for instance. Added it on my Desire, sync to Gmail.
[Desire General] DJ 1:
could it be a setting on gmail website ?
[Desire General] DJ 1:

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] StephanV:
You have to flash a radio with .50 in it, instead of .51.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=611787 for more instructions on doing this

After your radio is good, just download an Android SD build to your SD card, boot into WinMo, launch clrcad.exe and then haret.exe

Clrcad doesn't open any window, haret launches Android.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jalshah05:
I do not know whether you have ever installed android on HD2 or not, but according to my understanding you are just starting and you are overwhelmed. Basically if you have HD2 with win6.5 OS then you should start by installing HSPL3, followed by radio(your radio seems to be very old. Flash new one 2.15.50.xx). Once you are done with these 2 steps, you can install android on HD2.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zarathustrax:
restart your phone and hold the volume down button when it turns back on to get to the multicolor boot screen... that will tell you what spl you have.

Make sure the volume down is held down while the phone first gets turned on, so if you reset it, start holding the volume down right before it turns off and keep holding it until the boot screen pops up.. it should happen right away.

You should be able to use hspl3 with most spl's. Once you have hspl installed, you want to install one of the newer radios, and then your phone should be ready to run android off the sd card.

Now that I heard you can put Honeycomb 3.0 on the Nook Color, I am thinking of getting it today at B&N.

However, I will be using the device mainly for watching movies and I love to convert movies. I will be converting 720p .mkv movies to .avi format with 1024x600 resolution and 2,000 kbits rate to get the best video quality.

My question is: Can it play .avi files with 1024x600 resolution and 2,000 kbits rate super smooth on Honeycomb?
[Nook Color General] saeba:
Looking at the Honeycomb thread:

So that would seem to be a significant barrier to your plan ;-)!

In the basic 2.1, the recommendation is for MP4 (H.264) at 1,100 kbps. I recently watched Inception at that setting and it was perfect for the Nook Color.

Check out this thread regarding Handbrake settings for the Nook Color: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=894165
[Nook Color General] MattZTexasu:
for any kind of hi-res content, you'll want to use hardware accelerated playback. Unfortunately, the chip in the nook only supports a certain video codec and resolution. h.264 basic profile and a max of 800x480. 1100 kbps looks pretty good.

Any other codec or higher resolution will rely on the software renderer, and it will be very choppy.

I created a nook color preset for handbrake you might find helpful. It will convert your 720p movies to the highest quality the nook supports.
[Nook Color General] MattZTexasu:
You added the link to my thread while I was replying to this one. :)
[Nook Color General] saeba:
Yes, I went back and looked up your thread since I successfully used your presets and wanted to say thanks. They worked great and the results made a long flight from Denver to Orlando very enjoyable :-)!
[Nook Color General] Earthbrain:
You guys just burst my bubble. If the max resolution that it can play is only 800x480, then I guess I will not be buying the Nook Color. Even my HD2 can play mpg4 file that is encoded in 800x480 with 2,000 kbps smooth as butter without problem. If the NC cannot play 1024x600 with 2,000 kbps, then what is the use?

I guess I will have to wait for the Xoom to come out.
[Nook Color General] MattZTexasu:
800x480 looks great. The nook scales it up to 1024x600, and the pixel density is high enough that you see no pixels. It looks very smooth.
[Nook Color General] Mikroft:
You do realize that the hd2 has a 1ghz snapdragon processor. While we only have an 800mhz stock that can be overclocked to something equivalent. Why would you expect it to do better than the hd2? I would say they would be the same. But if the difference is worth the extra $350 premium then go for it. 854x480 at 1100kbps looks amazing on the nook.
[Nook Color General] tangomonky:
The biggest dissapointment with my Nook is the video playback. Its not horrendous on eclair, but I have absolutely no luck with it on these froyo builds. Probably going to go back to 2.1 soon just so I can at least view some videos again.
[Nook Color General] Mikroft:
There's no hardware video decoding on Froyo yet.
[Nook Color General] Earthbrain:
I never thought of owning the Nook Color until I heard about being able to put Honeycomb on it. I prematurely got excited and thought that it can do good video playback since my HD2 is excellent at playing 800x480 file at 2,000 kbps encoding. I knew that it can be overclocked to become more powerful. If it can only do 854x480 at 1100 kbps then it is a big disappointment. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If 854x480 at 1100 kbps looks good to you, it may not look good to me because of possible pixelation. I want a device that can play full screen resolution with high bit rate. I know that it would require bigger memory card/bigger storage space and slightly consume more power but that is what I am willing to sacrifice.

Well, I guess I have to get either the Xoom or the G-Slate. I don't mind paying extra for it. Just put in some extra work time and I will get a device that I will be happy with.

I love gadgets and love to tinker with them and that is why I enjoy putting all kinds of available OS onto my HD2. I was just about buy the NC just to tinker with it but I guess I will wait until the great people at XDA can somehow get hardware video acceleration on the NC to be able to play videos at higher settings.

Thanks for all the info about the nook's video capability. It was very informative.
[Nook Color General] panamamike:
DSP support?

What are the chance the DSP will get supported in Froyo/Honeycomb?

So even with hardware acceleration we only get 854x480@1100kbps

Mike
[Nook Color General] ncuser01:
Video quality

Any idea if this would work better if the nook was oc'd to 1.1, I guess once the dsp is fixed maybe that and a 1.1 cpu will work.

While i do lov to play 720p videos on my captivate (its screens is 800x480) it is down scaling those videos... the main reason i do 720p is because thats what tubemate will let me download them as and still work..

That being said he 480p that the NC can so is still a very good picture.. Normal CTR TV's are only 480i dvd's are at 480p and they still look good on my 42" 1080p tv.. not as good as blu-ray but still good.. and thats stretched to 42" were talking about 7"

1080p 42in= 52.45 DPI

1680x1050 20in monitor= 99.06 DPI

NC running 800x480 at 7inch= 133.28 DPI

NC running 1024x600 at 7inch= 169.55 DPI

Now.. looking at those numbers.. so you REALLY need to run at 1024x600? even at the 800x480 your getting less pixelation then you do on a 42inch 1080p tv.. yes the NC is held ALOT closer.. but even so.. its still giving you DVD quiality picture in your hand on a 7inch screen..

The video playback is definitely disappointing. It sucks not being able to just download a video and just watch it.
[Nook Color General] rpharvey:
I'm getting a bit lost from the conflicting opinions. I'm a lazy and VERY not fussy video viewer. My main use of my NC is to watch videos that were originally made for an iPhone.

Bottom line... Now that sound is working in honeycomb to the NC. am I going to be able to watch my simple iphone type videos on my NC if I take it up to honeycomb? Remember. I'm not at all fussy about quality as long as it isn't too terribly jerky.
