[Nook Color General] Admiralvic:
I have used froyo, and Honeycomb on mine... so ill touch lightly on that.

I originally rooted my Nook because, I hated looking at the home screen. I wouldn't mind it if I could add my own books... but that limit annoyed me, since it would cost more than the device to make it look nice.

Anyways I was quite excited to see what I can do, something like Quickoffice HD (ink app). Works amazingly well, I was editing a power point on it... and I had full control over everything. It worked really well, I could see all the slides on the side. It really was a great app to play with, perhaps not to make it, but completely possible to if I had to.

I have been using the pure widgets, and they help a lot with School and keeping life in check. Since I dont need to swap screens to look into it... It looks really nice, and works very well.

Email apps sorta suck... Using the Gmail or the "Email" app it feels lack luster. Its enough to work... but not enough to make you feel like its better than a phone. Mail'd works well, but HTML emails crash it, and theres a lot of loading and buttons dont appear on it.

Movies, and Google maps... Help a lot with looking for something to do. If you have wifi you can get a general location. Its not enough to be very helpful (unless you know the area) but it really is helpful. If you were to use this feature in bulk there would be more enough enough space to see everything.

Youtube, and Pocketcloud... Both work really well, nothing above the top here, but enough to make them viable.

Browser is nice, it loads quite nice. You can get a nice view of screen, and all of that. Not a ton to say here, but completely possible to post on a site on the go.

Games, I dont have a ton of them, but they're far easier to control on the bigger screen. I tried angry birds on my phone and feels too small. On the nook or a nook size device... its very good.

Overall... Theres not a lot that my phone can do, that my Nook cant. A lot of apps are either part of the overlay, but as a whole you can get a lot out of the nook. If you dont mind using exact programs, you will be set. Things like the messenger I use, required wifi off (for whatever reason). So I had to find another, things like this are quite common.

Till honeycomb comes around, which made the nook feel less like a big phone... Tablets are not going to be amazingly above a phone either. With something like the nook, you're getting a really good E-Reader, which can do the rest. If you want some reading, think of it as a cost split.

50% = Good E-Reader

50% = Tablet

A small E-Reader app is nice, but the Nookcolor one looks very professional and sleek.
[Nook Color General] gtriever:
I bought mine specifically to root, and for one reason: the ability to carry technical documents, and to be able to edit them. Since then, I've found the NC strengths to be the above, plus simple web browsing, calendar/appointments, gmail, RSS, and News feeds. The major drawbacks, IMO, are screen sensitivity on the right hand side and the lack of hardware keys (although Button Savior or softkeys are mostly adequate). Also, some apps can't be used if a popup box is required for setting options; the background and foreground text are displayed in the same color so you just get a blank screen.

Some Good Apps: Google Reader, Documents to Go, HanDBase, Jorte, ColorNote, Evernote, Widgetsoid 2.x, Repligo, Weatherbug

As you can tell, my NC is set up for "business" use... ;)
[Nook Color General] Tschumi:
I ordered the nook before I knew that it can be easily rooted. Now I 'm running froyo from the sd and it's really fast and stable. I 'm still using it primarily to read e-books but it's nice to have a fully functioning tablet around.
[Nook Color General] EVO_Android:
I have 3.0 running on it, and it's quite stable. I'm loving this. It's far better than the Samsung Galaxy Tab, and for a fraction of the price. The screen is much nicer and it seems to run faster.

I would like to overclock this in 3.0, but I'm running into some major stability problems. I found this link saying it should work just fine, but I'm not having luck. When I looked at the "official" thread here, it says that it's causing issues and they're trying to fix it. Does anyone know if that's still the case? I found the article on addictive tips dot com.

Anywho, I got rid of my EVO a couple months ago as I simply couldn't justify the large bill every month. For less than 2 months of my cell phone bill, I can buy a Nook Color and get better functionality (easier for presentations with a client, and the larger screen makes it quite easy to navigate and use apps). I'd jump onboard. It can only get better, and it's already pretty freakin amazing.
[Nook Color General] sonatacreative:
One app make it entirely worth it... OverDrive. Free ebooks and audiobooks from your local library. Love it.
[Nook Color General] horsemom:
As a straight reader, I would use my nook a few times a week when I had spare time to read. As a rooted Android tablet, I use it daily and LOVE it. In places were I have wifi - which is around 80-85% of the time, I use it instead of my phone.

Most used apps: K9Mail, Facebook, Twitter, Engadets, XDA, Aldiko, WeatherBug, reading news and playing games like Angry Birds, MathDuko, Tomeno HD. I use Zeam and Softkeys for launcher and back/home buttons. I watch movies occasionall converted with HandBrake.

Missing - hardware home/back button - though Softkeys does a pretty good job. I agree that the screen sensitivity in the corners can get frustrating.

I wish I could more easily tether it to my cell phone. I'd either have to upgrade my phone or try to root my HTC Eris. I could live with messing up my nook but not my phone.
[Nook Color General] TheGeek007:
Rooted my Eris just fine. Running a CM7 Gingerbread ROM and works great!

[Wildfire General] Smoothh:
Hello,

Im new to this forum and I have a question.

Is it possible to root with 2.2?

Some say its possible and some say its not ready yet. So it was very unclear to me.

I recently bought a Wildfire and updated directly to 2.2 and then I found about rooting.

If it isnt possible yet, how far are they with the process.

(sorry for my bad English, I'm from Holland)

Thanks!
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
It is not possible to root 2.2 yet. Some people say some progress is being made, but, there is no specific release date. It will be released when it is ready, you will just have to wait till then.

Hello all,

I am trying to complete my red customizations on my HTC Magic, and I cannot seem to find a player with a red skin? I have downloaded quite a few and done multiple searches and cannot seem to find one. I figured someone on here would know.

Thanks in advance.
[Fascinate General] ziggy484:
just wondering if its all good to use the one click root from android central with ea28 on 2.1...

ive used it a couple times on di01, but i had 2 soft bricks after using it on dl09 and ea28. Those incidents could very well have been the result of the other things i did after rooting... but im still a little weary.

[Fascinate General] RacerXFD:
Why would you experiment with what works when there is a method that is clearly articulated to follow. If you can't follow those instructions, you may want to reconsider if this is an appropriate thing for you to do.

There is a walk through in the development forum for you to follow.
[Fascinate General] luke949:
Follow the beginners guide sticky. I was able to root mine easy.
[Fascinate General] ziggy484:
how about you just answer the question instead of condescending like a big shot... ive looked into the other methods and im very capable of following directions. I have the one click file on my computer, and just wondered if there were any known issues with using it on ea28... i wasnt asking anyone to teach me how to root.

[Captivate Themes and Apps] loueichjr:
I always found it annoying when I accidentally hit the Swype button while trying to type a message and the Swype Help Dialog (Tutorial) would pop-up. I thought it was just me but others have complained about this also so I decided to mod the Swype keyboard so this wouldn't happen. However, the Swype button does have other useful functions that I didn't want to remove. This mod only disables the Tutorial pop-up. All other Swype button functions still work. I am doing this on a Linux pc. I don't use Windows but this should work similar in Windows.

Credits:

00.ante - Used his Keyboard for Example - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=942392

MikeyMike01 - Inspired by his Home Haptic fix

What you will need:

1. A Swype Keyboard

2. Smali/Baksmali - http://code.google.com/p/smali/

3. APK Manager - Optional

How To Instructions (Using Smail/Baksmali, you can also use APK Manager for this):

1. Extract classes.dex from Swype.apk and place in same folder as smali.jar and baksmali.jar

2. Open Terminal, navigate to folder where you put classes.dex and run this command: java -jar baksmali.jar -o classout/ classes.dex

3. This will create a folder called "classout"

4. In the classout folder, navigate to com/swype/android/inputmethod

5. Open SwypeInputMethod.smali in text editor

6. Delete all lines of code that contain "HelpDialog" and "HELP_DIALOG", There is one line that is embedded within a method. Delete starting at .method to .endmethod.

7. There are two lines of code that have just "Help" in them. Do not delete these.

8. Save and Close SwypeInputMethod.smali

9. Delete classes.dex that you extracted

10. Run this command in terminal: java -Xmx512M -jar smali.jar classout/ -o classes.dex

11. Copy the classes.dex that is created and drop it into your swype.apk

12. Place swype.apk into your CWM install zip

13. Flash and enjoy.

Attached is an example of this mod using one of 00.ante's Swype KB's. If you don't want to go through the trouble of baksmali/smali, you can just extract the classes.dex from this and drop it into your swype kb. Should work.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clockworx:
I just got a used Evo, and as part of my setup I had to call *2 to contact Sprint. As soon as I press the "Call" button, it crashes com.android.phone. I've tried to clear data for Dialer, clear data through Recovery, and tried a bunch of different ROMs, but I just get the same problem.

I'm guessing this is probably a common or known issue, but I didn't manage to find anything on it. I've tried this from Myn's,MikFroyo, EViO, and probably a few more. Regular calls work fine.

Anyone have any suggestions?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SouthPhilly:
"Try Sprint Lovers ROM".... *2 uses an app from Sprint that I'm pretty sure most if not all of those roms have removed.

The rom I mentioned above from what I've read about it is basically a optimized and rooted version of thestock Sprint EVO rom.

Or just flash a rooted stock rom.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JayStation3:
That's because you have to install the "Sprint Zone" apk, which in most cases is not included with the ROMs. you can get it in Dev section under Myns warm twopointtwo "uninstalled app" folder on the first page :)

Well, I installed it and really like it.

Some ideas, though:

- the taskbar could use some more transparency, in order to better distinguish the battery and signal bar;

-fancy widget pro and sometimes tapatalk give me FC's I never had before the theme (Doc's JS3+ Speedmod K13 A)

-could use more modded apks, like contacts;

- I miss the 4 lock screen.

That's all I can think of for now. Thanks for your work, I hope you keep working at this theme as it is something new for a change.

It seems the FC's are conected to the way it renders images, as they happen on image threads on tapatalk and in the skins screen in Fancy Widgets. Hope this helps.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomedic:
Now that Telus has the Desire HD (and unbranded on the phone itself, which I like), I'm seriously considering dropping my trusty N1.

Has anyone else done the same? What were your experiences?

And before anyone says anything, yes I realize that the next gen of phones is literally around the corner.

Next gen features...

- Front facing camera? I rarely, rarely do video chat.

- Dual core? Ya, nice... But early reviews on the Atrix (BGR) state they really don't notice much of a difference. Add to that the ease of customizing ROMS/kernals/OC on the HD vs. others it's probably a wash until optimization. I mainly use the phone for calls/text/email/web browsing. Not much of a phone gamer or movie guy.

- HSDPA+? Desire HD is twice the data rate of the N1, which is quick for me so...

So ya, I think easier development > next gen features for me for now...

Either way... Experiences? Comments?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] josemedina1983:
I still think you should go for the next gen. of phones. Duo core processor still manage web pages,games,apps better than a single core plus battery might be better I think. In my opinion why invest money on something that might be old in a few months? now if you have cash to play now and play in a few months then why not.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
You'll be getting:

1) Faster GPU for games.

2) Bigger screen.

3) Proper multitouch.

It's good, the question is - how much do you value it, and how much will the upgrade cost you. It'll also be the deciding point, I believe - for example, if I was offered DHD for free or close-to-zero sum, I'd take it without thinking (and convince my wife to take the Nexus instead of her HTC Elf), if I had to pay full price for any of the current phones, I wouldn't bother thinking about the upgrade - the difference isn't worth the money IMHO.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] etnops:
I have both handsets, and can offer some comments regarding the differences.

The DHD's larger screen and faster data connection makes a large difference in basic web browsing (especially the screen). I no longer browse the web on my N1.

The email application on the DHD is much better than the N1, with category and organization features that the N1 simply doesn't have. This is due to Sense, mainly.

The DHD's touchscreen is more responsive than the N1.

Depending on usage - the N1 does have better battery life. However, if you are not draining your N1 battery on a daily basis now, then it's likely you won't drain the DHD either. For myself, I can go a full day with my DHD's stock battery.

The only detractor for the DHD (in my opinion) outside of less battery life, is the phone doesn't fit as well in my pocket vs the N1. But that's hardly a "problem". :)

Having said all that, I still love and use my N1...just to a lesser degree.

Best of luck!

While I was on 1.6, I became quite fond of its photo and video appt. It was faster than anything I've used on froyo and it sorted by date in a convenient format. Do you think it would be possible to get that app for 2.2? I Googled for it and learned that it was developed by Arcsoft and was based on their Mobile Media app, which I also can't find. Anyone have any suggestions?

If not, what is the fastest gallery program for froyo? I have hundreds and hundreds of .PNG files residing all over my SD card (not in just one or two image directories), some buried several subdirectories deep.

Right now, I use andexplorer or root explorer's thumbnails to fInd image files, but that way is TEDIOUS.
