[Droid X General] N4melessS0ldier:
The benefits of running Fedora, from my standpoint, are mainly for developers that want custom binaries, that run in linux, to run on their Droid X orrrrr for regular end users who want a precompiled version of the Fedora 10 root filesystem that includes binaries (applications/programs) that are useful.

As far as running linux, it does not replace the Android OS. You aren't actually booting linux. Since Android OS is already techincally linux, you can just "chroot" into the root filesystem of a precompiled Fedora 10 distribution for ARM based devices.

So, the short answer is that Fedora will run parallel to Android OS and in order to access the desktop environment you need to run an android app that works as a VNC Viewer and connect to your own device (localhost).

I will be uploading a precompiled Fedora 10 to my server which will include a VNC server, LXDE (desktop environment), X11 (X windows server), and maybe a few other binaries specifically compiled for the Droid X (the kernel for the Droid X cannot be changed as most of you know (or maybe I'm just unaware of how to change it)).

Oh and by the way, I will be uploading this to my server @ anonymouslyacquired DOT info (if posting my website is against xda policy, please let me know and I will edit out the domain name registered to my server)

edit: uploaded rootfs-f10/fedora.txt to my server which I typed up to give people some info on how to do this themselves.....
[Droid X General] WACOMalt:
Please post some instructions!

I am avidly wanting this. Especially if you get an X server running natively without the need for a vnc loopback!

I would love to be able to ssh to my server and get some x11 forwarding going :P If only just for the heck of it.
[Droid X General] SysAdmin-X:
Can you post the rest of the files for this on the site?
[Droid X General] N4melessS0ldier:
Sorry....

Sorry, guys I had it running on my Droid X for awhile, but then I lost the phone. Eventually I switched to T-Mobile and now I have a Samsung Galaxy S 4G running Fedora 12 with X server (only viewable through droid-vnc-viewer, an ssh server and XFCE4 desktop environment). Since the SGS4G doesn't have nearly as much internal memory as the Droid X does, I created a fedora.img file that is on the sdcard and run a script I modded (from the bootubuntu script) which mounts the image and chroots into the OS. If you guys are still interested I can post instructions on what I remember of putting Fedora on the Droid X but I will be uploading the filesystemm image to hxxp://anonymouslyacquired.info/fedoraonsgs4g along with the scripts that make it possible!

Note: the filesystem I'm uploading is preinstalled with a bunch of stuff and its 1.5GB total (oops) its actually really only around 900Mb but I left some space for installing stuff.

with my scripts just copy everything to a folder called "fedora" under the root of your sdcard and run "sh /sdcard/fedora/fedora.sh" in android terminal emulator. It will tell you what to do next (type "bootfedora" press enter). Once you're in fedora type "startvnc" and/or "service sshd start"

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] DominionZA:
Hey peeps,

I am currently on the HD2 EU running NAND gingerbread.

On 20 Feb my cell contract renews and I can get a new phone. I have looked at both the Desire HD and the Galaxy S. The Galaxy S only seems to have a superior screen and the DHD superior everything else (IMO that is).

What would you HD2 peeps do and why? I really need some help deciding here please guys. I love my HD2 to bits and want to make sure I get a device that matches it or beats it.

I am asking this in the HD2 forums as I know most of you love your devices as much as I do so will know where I am coming from.

The HD2 wont go into a drawer at the end of the week BTW. I will still continue to flash the kak out of it :)

TIA - Mike
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tomj777:
SIM only contract, monthly, and wait 'till something seriously cool comes out. Watch Barcelona news during the next couple of weeks... new chip sets means new phones... something interesting on six months time, perhaps?

Going to be hard to leave a phone with this much flexibility when the time comes, but for me, until it feels stretched, it's a keeper.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Kailkti:
If you have to get one right now, then i'd say the galaxy s. Reasons being:

Better graphics chip, and maybe processor

Screen

Proper HD recording

16/8 gb of memory

secondary video camera (but who actually uses it, it's only there to show off) >.>

However, one big draw back of the galaxy s, atleast for me, is no sense UI as of now.

If you need not get a new phone right now, then wait. The next gen phones are coming out soon anyways. Well some of them.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rubledub:
i would imo say neither... simply because they are both only SLIGHT upgrades over your current hardware! the desire is now a legacy device with very low dev (again imo) and there is a reson why most HD2 ports come straight from the Nexus.

you and i are in the same boat ... id suggest, as hard as it will be, to continue to hold off on an upgrade. i mean honestly what would you be getting? another half gig of ram amd a front cam ... ooooooo!?! :-D

Hello, I wonder if its possible to put in a 3g modem and use mobile broadband on the nook ?

Please excuse me for bad my bad English
[Nook Color General] RootNewbie:
Hardware modification is a lot of work. In most cases it's not even possible.

You are better off tethering to your phone or a hotspot if wifi isn't available...

In my opinion.
[Nook Color General] migrax:
Where do you propose to insert the USB 3G device? Maybe once Bluetooth is working there will be a device to add 3g via Bluetooth. But there is not, as far as I know, 3G hardware available on the NC board... yet.

migrax

ps: forgive me if I appear to be a smartass.
[Nook Color General] RoboRay:
I'll make it simpler than the others...

Sorry, no.
[Nook Color General] cshehan:
Sadly the nook doesn't really have the capacity to add 3G hardware. Some tablets do have full sized USB ports that can physically connect to a USB 3G modem, but there is no built in driver support on those tablets either. Your only real option currently is wifi tether to a 3G phone.
[Nook Color General] bonobomidwest:
Just in case any of these replies are missing information you need:

1. No, you can't add 3g to the Nook, in fact this is why i love it as a tablet - no extra data plan to pay for

2. BUT you can easily use the nook's wifi to connect to a portable hotspot

3. You could if you wanted buy a portable hotspot (e.g. Mifi, or overdrive), but these come with expensive data plans

4. You can use your regular cellphone. This requires rooting on an android device, and I do not know if this is possible on other platforms. Anyway, I reccommend "wireless tether" as the app to use simply because it can be set up to only communicate with MAC addresses that it approves (it's great being in an airport and seeing all the internet leaches being bounced off your phone's hotspot).

5. If you are super lucky, your phone will operate as an 'infrastructure network', and you can stop reading right now! ;-) However, more than likely, your phone will operate as an "adhoc" network, not an "infrastructure" network. This requires some tweaking of your nook on 2.1 ROMS (there's several threads on this), but is built into 2.2 (which is a major reason to move to Froyo).

6. The ad-hoc fix is a bit buggy, and whatever B&N changed in 1.1 makes this much worse. Again there's several threads describing this. In 1.01 the solution as to use an app to shut down and restart the wifi as the screen shut down or tuned off. BUT THIS DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM IN 1.1 AND IF ANYTHING MAKES IT MORE ANNOYING.

7. Basically there is some issue in 1.1 where when the nook wakes, the wifi is on but it may not reconnect to a network until you tell it to. This happens occasionally for the stock wifi, but happens continuously with the ad-hoc fix. The best workaround i have found is to have an app called "wifi buddy" in my dock - then when the machine wakes up if it can't see the network, i just launch wifi buddy and it connects immediately.

Hope that helps

Tether Nook Color to iPhone using PDAnet?

I am using PDAnet on the iPhone. It's free and also offers the option to broadcast a WiFi hotspot. Other iPhones and my laptop see the hotspot but the Nook does not. Has anyone tried that yet?

[Nook Color General] cal3thousand:
If you could somehow get the SoC from the Droid X in there... it might be remotely possible. But the time and effort required would make this a purely "did it to say I did" type of hack.

Save your duckets and get a real tablet when the dual cores get affordable.

[A7 Themes and Apps] PhillyGirl2011:
I am so glad I returned my nook color and bought the elocity tab. I am having such fun playing with all the apps I've come to love on my galaxy vibrant and found a lot of new apps to play with. I recently updated the samsung to froyo which now allows wireless tethering. That is the best invention ever! I didn't even need to be in the same room as the samsung and it didn't lose the wireless connection on the elocity. I connected the elocity via hdmi to my hdtv and watched some online shows which was very cool. Discovering cool browsers like netfront has left me with about 5 browsers to choose from. I found a betterkeyboard.apk and shapewrite.apk and installed them both. I just like having options. Fun games like pinball, frogger, nintaii, etc makes the time fly by on my commute. I initially bought this to get back into reading via ebooks, but I've not read any of the free 70 books I've collected in the nook application.

There's not a lot of activity on this thread though. I guess that people are only posting when there's a problem. Oh well...happy surfin! :p
[A7 Themes and Apps] Daisimae:
I like mine too. Thanks for listing that browser. I'll try it later.

I've been able to read so much more with the tablet. I returned the Nextbook 2 and 3 just before I bought this. I think this will suit my needs for a long time.

I'm enjoying mine as well. I bought it mainly due to the HW specs and Android OS and it's been a pretty cool little gadget. I am still figuring out just how to configure things the way I like. And I'm still toying with the various browsers out there. I like the built in one but I've grown fond of Opera-mobile too. I gave Firefox mobile a test drive but it's not quite ready for prime time yet as they say.

I have a stand on order from Amazon and that'll make it easy on the hands while I read the news over breakfast each morning. It's really fun to see the new Dexter Mods as well. Seems like every other week a new flavor is ready. Pretty slick.

When you say "it's available in the market" are you referring to the Nook app or dexter mod?

If I could get the Nook app on my Elocity then I think everything would be pretty perfect.

I have this game running on my device without any problems. I am running the stock Eclair (Android 2.1) with B&N 1.1.0 firmware (rooted, of course), with 1.1ghz overclock kernel. No problems downloading and installing from the Market. The game downloaded its 1gb data when I first tried to run the game, then worked just fine. It did download its 1gb data chunk again after I rebooted my Nook (for other reasons...unrelated to this game), but my saved game was still there and loaded just fine. I have since rebooted the device again, and this time the game ran fine and did not download the data again.

I have seen reports of some people not being able to play this game on their devices. Not sure if it is a Froyo or Honeycomb issue, but it seems to work well on the stock Eclair.

Hi all. I just flashed the ROM on addictive.com for Honeycomb (I can't post a link, but if you google galaxy tab honeycomb upgrade you should see it).

I used Heimdall, and it indicated the ROM flash was successful. After it was done, the yellow download screen went away and the device powered down. Now I can't get it to power back up, and I just put it on the charger and can't even get a charging light.

I've tried holding the power button for a minute, and hold the home and/or down volume keys with the power button, no luck. I'm going to leave it on the charger for a good hour or two and try to get it to boot again.

Beyond that, any ideas on troubleshooting short of calling Samsung and having them look to see if they can repair? Did the flashing of the ROM hose it from a software standpoint, or did the flashing just happen to fry the hardware?

Any ideas are much appreciated - I've only had the device about a month ...
