I am aware i will receive crap for asking. I am a noob and i am having a hard time gaining access to all of the wonderful apps in the marketplace. I have appbrain and it helps. But i would like as much as i could get. Even if someone has a little patience to spend some time with me so that i can become familiar with such would be awesome. If not, oh well.

Re: SOLVED - New2b Step by Step

For those of you having trouble with the market on the 0.6.8 by Brian here is the newb step by step. Mine works great. These are Brian's instructions with my additions. Very simple and has worked on all 3 of my Nooks. Flawlessly!!!

Instructions:

Download the zip file

Unzip the image file

Burn the image to sdcard

Shutoff your nook and insert the sdcard you just created

Boot your nook to sdcard

Under the "mounts and storage" menu, choose "format cache"

Press the power button to go back to the main menu

Choose "install zip from sdcard"

Choose "choose zip from sdcard"

Choose the zip file

After the image is installed, remove the sdcard

Press the power button to go back to the main menu

Choose "reboot system now"

Go into applications

Manage applications

Chose market

Clear cache not data

Now reboot with the 3.0.0.5 Version of clockwork

Choose mount

Reformat cache

Reboot again

After the nook has reboot

Configure the wireless, setup your google account

The market will now work

Install Flash and YouTube

BTW Brian FTW Great work, I like your setup the best :-)

[Nook Color General] mrjackson1:
Nookie Froyo Market Won't Download

The easy fix for me . . .after installing the 8gb customized nookie froyo rom was to pull my sd as booting, or as shutting down. This enabled me to finally boot into recovery. Once you do get booted into recovery RE-INSERT THE SD CARD, then FORMAT CACHE (scroll through the various options and you'll find it) Do this, and your market should start working again . . .forget about the clear data, clear cache, force stop, reboot steps. Just format the cache when you figure out how to boot into recovery, as the rom i used didn't boot into recovery when the option was selected from Clockwork. Btw, I am booting from sd with Nookie Froyo, stock nook is untouched.

To summarize

Find a way to boot into recovery

Make sure your sd card is inserted

Format cache and reboot

Customized Nookie Froyo - Can't see market apps

Sorry all, I'm very new to the nook. I did my best to try to look around for an answer to this question, please forgive me if I overlooked something.

Anyway, I put the customized Nookie Froyo on an 8GB SD card and everything has been working great. However, some of the apps wont show up at all in the market. For instance, google maps is not installed, nor will it show up via a query in the market. If I go to market.android.com, it tells me my device is unsupported for the map application.

Can anyone give me a tip to get me started on fixing the issue?

Thanks everyone!

EDIT

Nevermind, I followed the directions on the nookdevs.com tips section and got it working...I just needed to dig a bit further.

Thanks everyone!

i cant recover with odin

getting data wipe failed and file missing errors

is there a place to learn about adb

i read i could push the disable voodoo folder i think its my last hope

ill make a custom boot animation to your specs if you can get this phone back up its my girls it just shut down on her at work it was running then pooop!

it would only make it to the dragon kernel splash screen.:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oka1:
Have you tried Heimdall 1.1 It is like Odin and some eho have had this problem found this would work for them

If not maybe try this, but here is the basic way to do what you are asking

You will need the disable voodoo folder, if it is not on your internal sd card

First

1. Download update.zip if you do not have it on the internal sd-card

2. Place the update.zip in tools folder so you can push it into your phone by using adb command

3. Plug usb into the phone and your phone should be on the Android system recovery <2e>

4. Use your volume button to select reinstall package, don't press power button yet.

5. constant "adb push update.zip /sdcard" from computer , you will get permission denied.

6. While you are constantly pushing the adb command from computer. press the power button on the phone so it install update.zip from sdcard.

7. This is the part where it force adb push into sdcard without permission

8. once the update.zip install completed. unplug the usb cable from the phone and take the battery out.

9. put the battery back to the phone then press on both volume button.

10. While holding both volume button , plug in your usb cable and it will boot to download screen.

If you need use Odin to flash your phone to original stock rom.

If this gets you going cool but if you run into problems see below:

If you get black screen with only 4 light on the bottom after flashing from Odin.

Follow http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=728698

There should be T959-PDA.tar,T959-CSC.tar and T959-Phone.tar within the package.

Check "Re-Partition" , "Auto Reboot" and "F.Reset Time" check box. Use the PIT 0512 version. Use "PDA", "PHONE" and "CSC" from the link above.

After flashing with Odin, you will loose the download mode. repeat the first part and you are good to go.

Hope this helps
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sgtmedeiros:
You can try this.

Download the android sdk

Extract to a place on your desktop

Call it android or something easy to type in.

Put a folder with the disable lagfix folder in it

In command type cd desktop/android/tools

Boot normally

Keep typing adb devices till your phone shows up

Once it does type in

Adb push (file name here)SPACE/sdcard

If it succeeds reboot and it should disable lagfix

I've had the dreaded Data Wiped error before... Well to fix this you might lose all your internal sd card data.

I almost positive this should work:

1. Go here:

http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/15275-gt-i9000-cyanogenmod-7-we-love-bugs-version-20110205/

and download one of the i9000 .tar files, this will soft brick your phone but restore your data. Then you can odin back to stock here:

However, this has worked for me, I don't guarantee the results, but it seems you're already fu*cked so might as well.

If that doesn't work ODIN "Eugene's Froyo that doesn't brick" then when you're in recovery Odin using the link above...

EDIT: The .tar file you need is located in the initial package so you must download that... or you can find any other i9000 .tar file and try that... it should work.

It wasn't solved on iphone 4 so i guess there's a "deep and technical" reason beyond that.
[Galaxy S II General] silverwolf0:
Maybe the 1080p doesn't divide well into the 8 megapixel camera for easy conversion, so they make the viewable area slightly smaller so it is a nice multiple of the 1080p, because the processor can't handle the load otherwise. Shot in the dark.
[Galaxy S II General] MikeyMike01:
Could it be that you can't display a full 1920x1080 video in a 800x480 screen?

Sent from my Captivate.
[Galaxy S II General] lgkahn:
i doubt it because you cannot display full 720p either ie 1280x720 but it doesnt crop/zoom that image when you video record..
[Galaxy S II General] psufan5:
No it doesnt. Double tap your screen and it zooms out.
[Galaxy S II General] troed:
Naturally it is so and also logical !

How should a 800 x 480 pixel screen show full resolution of 1080 p ? It is not possible physically. Only via HML on the TV-screen You will have full HD res.
[Galaxy S II General] Chad_Petree:
but how can it display 1280x720? :confused:
[Galaxy S II General] martino2k6:
1) Scale 1280x720 to 800x480, in which case you get an aspect ratio error of 1% which is more than acceptable.

2) Scale 1280x720 to 800x450 and pad the rest with black bars.

Is that what was asked?
[Galaxy S II General] MikeyMike01:
For comparison purposes, my Captivate does this also. 720x480 is zoomed; 1280x720 is zoomed further.
[Galaxy S II General] Chad_Petree:
450? did you watch the video? the problem seems to be only in 1080p and as far i know 720p and 1080p have the same aspect ratio
[Galaxy S II General] martino2k6:
450 because it will be the same AR. Anyway, apologies. I should have read further back to see what the actual problem behind the discussion was.
[Galaxy S II General] Robboftw:
Do we know the reason for this? All of the retail units are doing it.
[Galaxy S II General] peachpuff:
Its simply a lower viewing angle at higher resolutions, its not that uncommon on video recording devices.
[Galaxy S II General] kreoXDA:
not sure I understand?

The youtube video in the OP shows RECORDING, not playback, right?

When it records in 1080p, the screen shows a zoomed in picture.

This is because the phone cannot take raw 1920x1080 video stream from the camera, and at the same time be encoding it as 1080p and saving it to memory, and downscaling that raw 1920x1080 stream to 800x480 to display on screen. This phone is powerful, but not that powerful. Or maybe that youtube video was of not final software.
[Galaxy S II General] Rawat:
Yes it's zoomed, and that's a hack to make it possible to record 1080p.

They've basically just cut off the pixels on the side, and are using 1920x1080 pixels from the centre of the camera's sensor.

This way, it doesn't have to process the "extra" pixels on the side, do pixel binning etc. The sensor is decent enough that 1080p still looks crisp at native res.
[Galaxy S II General] kreoXDA:
Ahh that is what they were showing :) Makes sense, just like the iP4 then - thanks for the explanation.
[Galaxy S II General] fenomeno83:
So, original captured frames at "full hd video recording mode" have resolution more than 1920x1080, and after pixels on the side are cut off, to get 1920x1080?
[Galaxy S II General] Rawat:
No, it records exactly 1920x1080 from the centre of the sensor where as with 720p etc it will record using the whole sensor, and do fancy stuff like pixel binning etc.
[Galaxy S II General] fenomeno83:
so, at 1920x1080 use directly pixel from center of sensor (this means a zoom effect of about 2x, because sqrt((3264*2448)/(1920*1080)) =~ 2)? and at lower resolution use pIxel binning tecnhique, that combines more pixels in one? This can be reason why at 1080p you can't use zoom (a 2x is already "build in")
[Galaxy S II General] Rawat:
Yes and no.

1080 isn't zoomed in, it just uses the central pixels. You could say that 720p is zoomed out ;)
[Galaxy S II General] dosher:
I've noticed that the auto focus is less efficient when shooting at 1080p compared to 720p. Anyone else notice this?
[Galaxy S II General] dickie2007:
This is exactly right!!

The same can be seen by lowering the resolution of the camera for still images. as you lower the resolution, the 'zoom effect' increases as the phone crops the outer pixels.

Its just pre-production work which is far simpler than mid-production which would be CPU/system intensive or post-production which would render the images/video unavailable whilst the system performed the required editing.

Dickie
[Galaxy S II General] Rawat:
You're kind of right. I tested for lower res shots, and they still used the full sensor. What does happen is that when you zoom in, it will use only the central part of the sensor and lower the image quality.
[Galaxy S II General] dickie2007:
Sorry what I meant was the lower settings that are 16:9 the same aspect ratio as 1080 and 720, such as 2.4mp etc... the 'zooming'/cropping is quite obvious.

Obviously any low setting that is 4:3 can just be scaled from 8mp...

Dickie
[Galaxy S II General] fenomeno83:
yes yes...I know that isn't zoommed..I used "" to say that is "like a 2x zoom"..but it don't zoom, it use 1920x1080 pixel from center of 8Mpixel ;)
[Galaxy S II General] trungdaika:
Yeah, it's zoomed but there's a tweak that make it normal like photo mode.
[Galaxy S II General] DrSlump76:
Hi to all. The video recording mode of this phone is disappointing. As far as the 720P uses the whole sensor area, the 1080P resolution should use it as well. In some reviews i olso noticed a not so good digital zoom in 720P.

The best way is to acquire the entire sensor area and then combining a number of pixels togheter to obtain the scaled down 1080P resolution (known as pixel binning or similar tecnique).

This tecnique should give two benefits at least:

1) The zooming in should be lossless until the pixel ratio is 1x1 (as it is now during recording), that should give a 3x zoom (correct me if i'm wrong).

2) Combining more pixels togheter give better dynamics and better results in low light recording.

The question is: why samsung engineers did not use this tecniques?? No hardware support? Not enough power? Or something like "i would like to have more time to develop"?

Not to mention the 16Khz mono audio recording. It remembers me my old Sound Blaster... it was the year 1990.
[Galaxy S II General] hazart:
It could be that the Exynos 4210 is not powerful enough for video scaling from 8 MP to FHD in real time. It could also be that the bandwidth between the camera sensor and system bus is not enough for transferring 8 MP at 30 fps.
[Galaxy S II General] eitama:
Hmmm, If 1080p is using the center of the Sensor only,

Does this mean that 720p recording might be superior to 1080p in some low light conditions?
[Galaxy S II General] tameracingdriver:
I've not tried 720 yet, but I am now after that comment; I did notice 1080 is slow / difficult to focus at times.
[Galaxy S II General] DrSlump76:
Maybe, but if you re right, they wouldn't be able to acquire @720P too, becouse the 720P video uses the whole sensor area to acquire the frames to scale them down successively.
[Galaxy S II General] DrSlump76:
Theorically yes, becouse acquiring at full resolution and than scaling down is a well known tecnique to reduce noise during signal sampling.
[Galaxy S II General] F0RCE:
soo .... how can it play 1080 mkv movies ... without any lag
[Galaxy S II General] Silver420:
At 1080p is it cropping the video just on the screen itself, or also when played back on a monitor?

My old Kodak zi8 crops at 1080p which means I never record @ 1080p...

Though saying that it does record 720p @ 60fps and I would have much preferred to see this implemented on the S2. Anyone know if its hardware limitations or software?
[Galaxy S II General] luckyAlyssa:
i agree with you, however, i often use foxreal video converter to deal with 1080p videos, the quality of result video is pretty good, it seems as same as the original, the professional tool supplys us an easy way to convert 1080p for galaxy s 2 with quality lossless.
[Galaxy S II General] LightspeedGalaxy:
[/quote]

Nowhere near 3x, about 2,5x for 720p and 1,7x for 1080p.

True, especially for the very tiny sensors used in phones.

Most likely a hardware-limitation.

Todays camera-sensors usually use a Bayer-pattern color-filter-array. This means, every photosite just captures one of the three primary colors. To get full pixels you must use some demosaic-algorithms, which calculate the missing colors for each pixel. These algorithms need quite a lot of computing-power.

To use the full sensor for 1080p you would have to do the demosaicing for 3264x1836 photosites (around 6 million) at 30fps. Then you can scale the image down to 1920x1080. It is quite likely, that the processor isn´t powerful enough to do this. But it is powerful enough to do this for the central 1920x1080 photosites.

For lower resolutions you can use a pretty simple trick. Each 2x2 block in the sensor-array has 2 green, 1 red and 1 blue photosite. So you can very easy transform this block into 1 pixel, just directly using the red and blue values and taking the average of the 2 green values to form your pixel. So you end with 1632x918 full colored pixels with almost no effort. There is maybe some dedicated hardware to do this transformation directly on the sensor.

Obviously you can further scale this image down to 1280x720 or lower, but you don´t have enough data left for "true" 1920x1080.

Actually I´m pretty surprised by the video-quality, in good light the output rivals my Panasonic LX5, and despite the lower bitrate shows even less compression-artifacts. 1080p is even much sharper (the LX5 can only shoot 720p).

I have to agree, audio is really disappointing.
[Galaxy S II General] chemical1979:
This is for electronic stabilisation. The camera uses the rest of the CCD to move the "smaller" recording area around to prevent shivering of the video.
[Galaxy S II General] kalsifer:
Ok ... understood... but...

Anyway ... even if the problem is only a matter of: "At the moment you are recording the video, you cant display it correctly on the screen"

Then when i'll open the *.mp4 file i should expect a perfectly recorded not zoomed 1080p But it's not!! It's crap, zoomed and with a ridicolous quality compared to the 720p ... WHY?? The chip is able to record true 1080p... is completely non-sense!
