[Nook Color General] loribuono:
Thanks for all the info. When you say "custom roms," are you referring to any rooting of your Nook Color? Is the version of Android I have after running the AutoNooter 3.0 considered a custom rom? Or did I just merely strip off some of the "skin" Barnes & Noble has on there, 'cause it didn't seem very much like I'd started over, but more like I "got past" something that was already on there and, therefore, opened up more functionality. Does that make any sense? I'm getting the feeling that Nookie Froyo and CM7 completely wipe your Nook and give you a fresh OS. Yes?
[Nook Color General] knucklesmckay:
Ok here is another long book by me, sorry for the long posts:)

Yes, Nookie Froyo, CM7, Phiremod give you an entirely new OS.

Custom roms are not any rooting. They are entirely different android operating systems so to speak. Most require one to wipe the devices internal Rom (Read Only Memory) in order to put a new one on. This is sort of risky as it erases everything, but is made less risky by using stable custom roms in combo with clockwork recovery. If the internal memory gets messed up and the procedures for instaling a custom rom are not followed or an error happens, your device will be unusable until fixed (fixed usually by booting CWR off sdcard and installing a stock image). Please do research and ask around XDA or androidtablets before installing a custom rom to know what the ups and downs of it are.

Also please keep in mind on the Nook certain Roms like CM7 require a different version of CWR and require a workaround to work as of now. It can be kind of tricky to install. Phiremod Beta2 can be installed through normal recovery. Check us out over at http://www.androidtablets.net/forum/nook/ if you want. There are a lot of useful guides over there.

Yes autonooter just opens up functionality

Autonooter is not a custom Rom. It is just the method of rooting or unlocking your android device. Rooting an Android device makes you system administrator of the device. This is so you can do things beyond what B&N lets you do with the device like use the Android market.

This is what I did with my Nook. Autnootered it>installed Clockwork Recovery>Made a backup with Clockwork Recovery>Then Installed Phiremod beta2 through clockwork recovery as per the instructions for that rom
[Nook Color General] loribuono:
Thanks again for this. I appreciate you taking the time to explain this to a newbie. It's beginning to make much more sense now. For now, I'll stick with what I've got, keep reading and then go from there.
[Nook Color General] loribuono:
Ugh. Authentication error while reading a book and then a reset, and I'm back to the beginning. Except worse, because even navigation while reading a book doesn't work right. Anyone experience this?
[Nook Color General] knucklesmckay:
Sorry I don't have that issues so I am not sure. Maybe its a password issue?
[Nook Color General] loribuono:
Perhaps. Don't know. Starting over from scratch. All I know is that it happened when I was merely reading a book, about ten minutes after trying to login to Google Talk with a different Google account than the one I used during the AutoNooter process.

Who knows...

Ever since I flashed Superclean 2.4 EB01 (yes, I wiped data/cache first), about once a day I will notice that I stop receiving voice calls (I know because I still get voicemail and notifications for them) and I'm also unable to send email through either the gmail or k9 apps. A simple reboot seems to fix everything, but after another several hours of uptime, I will notice the same problems. I have no issues besides this. Any ideas?
[Fascinate General] bignew67:
Any other modifications to the rom? Did you edit the services.jar file?
[Fascinate General] lefunque:
No, I didn't make any modifications. I used odin to load the modem, then flashed the red cwm I also found here to flash the SC 2.4 voodoo ROM taken straight from Adryn's SC post. This was done over SC di01 which did not have this issue.

Does the android platform have the ability to run active x programs?

Sent from my Epic 4g Runnin Froyo...rooted for my pleasure!!
[Epic 4G General] snowmanwithahat:
No, Active X is a microsoft graphics library. With android we use OpenGL ES if I'm not mistaken. Something like the equivalent of OpenGL1.3.

It's not exactly a great feature set, but considering the fact that it's a phone it is enough
[Epic 4G General] Kcarpenter:
No Sir. "Direct X" is a graphics library. "Active X" is an application framework. And the chances of it ever working on Android are almost 0. Silverlight is the replacement for most things Active X and those things you can't do in Silverlight that you can in AX are security issues.

The chances of Silverlight working in Android are also almost 0. since Microsoft hates, android and silverlight is .net based...and .net is Microsofts ugly off spring.. you get the chain.

Not to mention HTML5/Flash market %'s make Silverlight useless. Other than for developing WP7 Apps...but I did say it was useless right?:rolleyes:

70s?! ouch. ActiveX was developed in the latter half of the 90s. It was developed mostly as a replacement to OLE/COM because support and adoption of those technologies was so god awful and confusing.

Oh, and ActiveX will only work when running WINE - and then it's only marginally supported in IEs4Linux. Of course WINE currently only works for x86 processors. Even if they got it working for ARM, I doubt any ActiveX would work as I think they'd have to be compiled for ARM too.
[Epic 4G General] Tbtltdts:
No argument there I was curious because Convergys develops sofware client for the cable provider systems. One being called Icoms. It is a complete Active X interface on the user side of the app.

[General Questions and Answers] JHarden352:
Hi all, I tried posting this in the Android and/or Xoom forum, but alas, as a new member, I cannot. Here’s my question, hopefully someone can help. I’m about to purchase a Xoom, and simply stated, the Xoom has 5 ‘desktops’ that you can ‘pan across.’

I’ve seen a few videos of the Xoom on YouTube, where the ‘wallpaper’ shifts slightly when you pan right or left to another ‘desktop.’

I plan on using this device for a unique purpose, and when I pan right or left, I want the entire background to change.

For the sake of this post, let’s assume I want each desktop wallpaper to be a different color…red, blue, green, yellow, and orange. Further, when I pan, I don’t want to see anything but THAT one color.

So again, the distinction here is…

1) A slight shift in the ‘wallpaper’

Versus

2) a whole new image (color or otherwise) on each of the 5 ‘desktops.’

I'm looking for number 2. Is this possible?

Thanks!

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Willuz:
On my Vibrant I'm using a Ram Aquabox that has a rubber membrane that you touch the screen through. It works perfectly on the screen area but does absolutely nothing on the system buttons. This is a problem since Home and Back are very important for navigation.

So how is the touch on the system buttons different than the screen? I've seen videos about grounding being an issue if you don't hold the phone with the other hand so is there some way I could ground the phone or would plugging in the charger act as a ground?

Alternatively, is there an application that puts the system keys on the screen instead?

The Esc key can be typed by pressing any cursor movement key.

For Shift-ZZ you can type :w <return>.

In vi, the function isn't 'shift-ZZ', it's 'ZZ'. You can enter that like any pair of capital letters. Either 'shift-z,shift-z' or 'shift-shift (caps lock) zz' works to send two capital z.

[Touch CDMA General] boe:
Hello,

I still use a WM phone (waiting for WP7 Focus or HD7 or Omnia7 like phone or iphone 5 to come to verizon to upgrade). I have WP7 x 64 enterprise (legit) on my PC and my laptop. My PC runs the remote ndis network no issue whatsoever. Using the same phone and cable or other cables on my laptop and the ndis appears when I first plug it in and then disappears before I can even use it to browse the web.

I thought maybe it was something I installed on my laptop so I just did a fresh format - even tried my technet version of Windows 7 with SP1 integrated - it still has the same issue before I install any other drivers - the ndis adapter shows up for a second then it is gone and my phone is no longer connected for network sharing. I can however still access the storage space on my phone from my laptop. I also tried updating the inf chipset.

I have a much older Z laptop that doesn't have this issue. It only occurs with my z1190x. I was curious if anyone else has encountered and resolved this issue as I'd prefer not to replace my laptop for at least another year.

I forgot to mention, I also updated to the latest BIOS and installed all other latest Sony drivers after and it still occcurs. I've also tried disabling power savings and plugging in the laptop to power.

I'm able to ping an IP for about 5 seconds if I start in time otherwise it goes away before I can even ping.

I also just tried formatting it with Windows 7 x32 and it has the same issue.

I realize that not everyone will have experience if your hardware differs since it seems unique to this particular laptop but I was hoping someone might have experienced it and found a work around.
[About XDA developers] Mafioso:
XDA the wonderful forum it is, but it has gone too big. Not that i'm complaining, but you're post seems to be lost many times because 100 other people posted after you especially in hot threads or ROM releases. So if you quoted someone or someone quotes you many times you skip it, or have to do a painful searches spanning 10's of pages...

Slickdeals.net (another big forum like XDA) has a wonderful system, that whenever someone quotes you're post you get a pop-up next time you log in with a link which takes you straight to the reply. I was wondering if such a system is possible here also?

[About XDA developers] PsHegger:
I like to idea, but I think it depends on the forum system. As I remember XDA uses vBulettin, you should check if it's possible to do this and if so you could ask one of the admins to set it. So to answer your question it's possible, but the admins won't change the source of the forum to do this.
[About XDA developers] svetius:
I like this idea too. It might be too resource-intensive (we never want to add a feature that slows down the site). I'll ping our server admin to see if this would be possible.
[About XDA developers] ivolol:
I am really missing this type of feature!

Specifically, I know many other vBulletin forums that have a /whoquotedme.php page - it shows a list of the latest posts in which you were quoted. It greatly helps in discovering who's trying to communicate with you, answer a question you might've had, or ask one of you [without specifically sending a pm].

I believe something like http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=255285

I think it checks every post to see if there is a user id present when there is a quote in the post, and then associates a link to that post with the user who was quoted.

I haven't specifically heard of it being a resource hog, but then again I am not a vBulletin admin :)

When I want to go back to recent conversations I was involved in I use the "Find all posts by" link.

Click on your user name at the top right, select Statistics and there's the link - "Find all posts by your username". I've bookmarked this for easy access.

That way, if I've taken part in a conversation then I can carry on where I left off. If I don't want to see what people responded with then I obviously don't care, and that's up to me to choose. It's the easiest way to keep track of what you were involved in.

[About XDA developers] pa1nk1ller:

If you think of it like that way, it is...

However at slickdeals I think its implemented like whenever someone quote's, a notification is being sent to the ID whose post was quoted...that notification later pops up at bottom when that user logs on, similar to PM dialog which pops, you don't make an actual search in the post that if mentioned someone, so not that resource intensive I feel
[About XDA developers] Archer:
You're actually agreeing with pulser, without realising. When you say "whenever someone quotes, a notification is set to the ID whose post was quoted" that's exactly what he was referring to. Every time a post is made the forum application would have to check the post to see if there is a quote or quotes in there. It then has to strip the user ID and store it, along with the thread (or post) ID. This is all overheads, and when you've got an average of 300,000 people all posting at the same time you would notice a difference in performance. This could be minimised by making a plugin that works on the thread, rather than the posted data, but that's not how the "who quoted me" plugin works.

It's one of the downsides (compared to the many benefits) of using packaged CMS sites. If you want something that seems simple, you need to write it as a plugin (if it doesn't exist), and that can be arduous, especially when the change only really needs a few lines of code to start with. However, if you go down the "few lines of code" route then you lose your changes next time you update the application to a newer version (for bug fixes and new features etc.). Believe me, it's a pain to go down that route and I am talking from bitter personal experience.

There are alternatives however. A quick Google found this, which may interest some of you...

I won't be trying it myself as I'm happy with my above-mentioned method of simply looking at the "my posts" list. Maybe if someone tries it they could report back and let others know how they got on?
