I sure hope someone could come up with one flashable ROM that's "extracted" from the Arc. I really love the style of it.

p.s. I'm not being lazy, but all the stuff posted is not compatible with eachother.. i.e. If you flash Timescape, you can't use the clock and picviewer files (they're for 2.1) hence you won't have "the whole Arc experience"

What is your 4g speed on your device?

ALSO POST YOUR CURRENT RADIO YOU ARE USING AS WELL.

Download - 3585 kbps

Upload - 1797 kbps

Radio - 26.06.02.27_M
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pmcqueen:
to get a better idea, we should run the speed test 3 times (take the average) at a few different points during the day (morning, afternoon, evening, night?) in the same place, then take the overall average... this will give you a more accurate whole picture.

might be a good idea to put where you live in there as well.

using the above method (3 simultaneous tests, 1 morning, 1 afternoon, 1 evening, 1 night), my results are as follows... both radios were tested in the same location at the approximate same times a week apart. I'm in eastside seattle:

26.02.01.15:

DOWN: ~4.8mbps

UP: ~3.5mbps

26.06.04.27 (w/ updated lib files):

DOWN: ~5.4mbps

UP: ~3.9mbps

noticeable (not just placebo effect) decrease in browser loading times and GPS is much better for me. switching from towers seems to be quicker as well - my phone used to hang for 10-15 secs going from 3G to H, now it's almost instant even in the middle of communication. have been extremely happy with 26.06.02.27 so far... I may try some other radios just for testing, but I'm scared to screw up what is already a pretty solid setup.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martonikaj:
You should also note that just because your phone has the "H" icon in the status bar, doesn't mean that you're on the "4G" network (which technically is HSPA+). The H can refer to HSUPA (instead of HSPA+), and it will often stay on H even when you're down on UMTS (3G). I don't even have HSPA+ "4G" in my area, being told that its on the way in the coming months, and H is lit up all the time, but its just HSUPA.

Something to think about.

That being said, I generally get about 1.9mbps down, 1.9mbps up on HSUPA. Stock radio.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Indysignz:
Using your same radio

I average between 4.5mb up to 8mb depending on data traffic and my uploads average around 2.5mb

I think most of it just has to do w/ the coverage in your particular area.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Proxin:
I get the "H" icon a lot at home, but my speeds are usually < 1 mb as you can see:

http://i.imgur.com/xLpr4.png

The most recent amazingly fast ones are taken at my work.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] durps:
I'm getting an average of 4.2 Mbps using the stock radio.

Can you change the radio when you're not rooted? Don't really know much about radios.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lainvalenajr:
Wow 4.2 mbp... wow I get only 1 mbp. So the stock is sopose to be better?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martonikaj:
Network speeds are affected by much more than simply your radio version or ROM type. See my post above for explanation of the "H" icon in your taskbar for a little look into that.

You can flash your radio independent of your ROM, some people get better performance with other radios, but I've gotten consistent performance with my stock radio and a few different ROMs.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martonikaj:
Yes, you must be rooted to flash new radios. Unless you're having network issues, and you're happy with your speeds (I hope you are at avg 4.2mbps) then there's no need to be flashing different radios.

Radio - 26.06.02.27_M

Running virtuous v1.0.1

I only get 350kbs-1.5mbs download and 800kbs-1.5mbs up. The upload isn't the problem. The best download I have ever gotten was 2.2mbs in my area (with the H or 3G+ symbol and 3-4 bars). I did get 3.5mbs download once, but that was on the other side of town.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] durps:
Just to clarify, when I said 4.2 mbs was my average, I meant my average at the moment. I did 3 tests.

Although, my average overall is usually about 2.5-3 mbs which is still good enough for me. Just hate when I randomly get Edge out of nowhere.

Best speed I ever recorded was 5.37mbs late in the afternoon a month ago or so.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TJBunch1228:
Man I thought I lived in a **** town because I only saw 6.5mbps max when our phones are capable of easy double digits. Especially when I see some people having screenies showing cell speeds of like 9 or 13mbps. I guess I have nothing to ***** about.

Although I have found I can do just about anything I really need my phone to do if I have atleast 1.5.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 313dash:
I only get like 5mbps downloaded and 2mbps uploaded. I really dont think that the 4g network isnt completely up yet but the speeds are okay with me.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stryder5:
Once everything is backed up, you'll have to delete the ext partition. Formatting only clears the partition you formatted. You have to delete the ext partition then add the free space back to the FAT32 partition. You'll need something that can detect the ext partition, like linux. You can run a live cd of ubuntu and use gparted for it.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Androidious:
How to get rid of EXT Partition

Here you go buddy,

Just go to this link, and read the instructions. It is pure and simple. If you want to add another partition in, you'll just have to complete the instructions. If you JUST want to delete any partitions and have a full FAT32 SD-Card again, just follow the direction up to that point and then stop. This is fairly easy to do and I can confirm it works great. I've done it a few times now with no problems. Just make sure, backup your current SD-Card contents (it'll only be the stuff you want to keep, b/c it's on the FAT32 section that can be read by windows and macs). Back it up on a computer u'r using, then when u've finished deleting the partitions and reformated the card, you can copy the stuff back on there. Good luck and you'll do just fine if you stick to the instructions. You'll need ADB working to make this work correctly.

Sorry, just trying to keep our forum somewhat organized. Getting this far, probably saw a development section and a Q&A section.

Anyways, I digress.

OP:

Booting into recovery (Amon_RA I know for sure) has a section called partition SD card. Use this function and set the sizes to zero for swap and ext. The recovery will reformat and you will have only a FAT32 partition.

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] JoshMiers:
I am trying to get the Library and Reader apks from the 2.1 working on cm7. I am fairly close (I hope), the next thing I have to do is sign the apks with the same key as the other apks that share the "media" userid.

If you copy over the following files you will get to where I am at.

[not sure what apks I will need just yet, so this might change]

/system/app/CryptoServer.apk
/system/app/GlobalSearch.apk
/system/app/Home.apk
/system/app/Library.apk
/system/app/Reader.apk

copy these supporting libraries/files

/system/framework/bncloudapi.jar
/system/framework/com.bn.authentication.jar
/system/framework/com.bn.cloud.jar
/system/framework/com.bn.gpb.jar
/system/framework/com.bn.provider.utils.jar
/system/lib/libbndeviceinfo.so
/system/lib/libbravodeviceinfo.so
/system/lib/libpdfhost.so
/system/etc/permissions/com.bn.app.crypto.xml
/system/etc/permissions/com.bn.app.deviceinfo.xml

Edit the following file and add the information below

/system/etc/permissions/platform.xml

This will declare the library in order for the apps to use it.

<!-- This is a list of all the libraries available for application
code to link against. -->

<library name="android.test.runner"
file="/system/framework/android.test.runner.jar" />
<library name="javax.obex"
file="/system/framework/javax.obex.jar"/>
<library name="com.bn.gpb"
file="/system/framework/com.bn.gpb.jar"/>
<library name="bncloudapi"
file="/system/framework/bncloudapi.jar"/>
<library name="com.bn.cloud"
file="/system/framework/com.bn.cloud.jar"/>
<library name="com.bn.authentication"
file="/system/framework/com.bn.authentication.jar"/>
<library name="com.bn.provider.utils"
file="/system/framework/com.bn.provider.utils.jar"/>

Once you have all this in place, restart the device. Logcat will complain about the wrong certificate for the user android.media.

My next steps are to find out which apks on cm7 use this shared id and resign them all with the same key.

Once that is done, I will launch the Library and Reader with the following commands in adb to attempt to start the activities:

Reader

am start -a android.intent.action.VIEW -n com.bn.nook.reader.activities/com.bn.nook.reader.activities.ReaderActivity

Library

am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.bn.nook.library/com.bn.nook.library.LibraryMainActivity
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] xtravbx:
Very interesting concept. Possibly post in other developers sections than the NC - you may get some support.

I'm not a coder but I follow the concept.

I hope you and others are able to get this to work, because the stock reader app is my favorite.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] huntjp123:
Not sure if you've already caught this, but from looking at files so far in the APK I think there is a call being made to check for the version of android (specifically Android SDK 7 (2.1)). Is this something you got around by recompiling it?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] JoshMiers:
I've made more progress. I signed the apks with ZipSigner (free in the market). I am getting some force closes trying to run the Library right now, which means I probably need to sign more of the BN apks.

FYI, if anybody else wants to give this a shot, my steps were:

1. edit the apk with 7zip and remove the META-INF dir (not sure if this is required by zipsigner) to unsign it

2. push the unsigned apk to the nook's sdcard

3. From the nook run ZipSigner and choose "media" for the key

4. sign it

5. copy the signed apk to /system/app

If you do this with the Library you should see it show up in the app drawer.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Pyrot1c:
i would love to see this working :)
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] therealguppy:
Agree'd I tried this a while back, but I really know nothing about dev stuff for android, so I didn't get far, I was really hoping someone with the know how would do this.

More Power to you. Can't wait to see this working, the library and shop apps that come with the nook color, are so much better than the Nook app off the market.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] JoshMiers:
I've made a little more progress. I had to decompile the cm7 framework.jar and add some files from nook's framework.jar. I also had to merge changes into 2 files. This was all in order to get the Library app up and running. I have it loading up and I am able to see my sd card.

When I click on an epub it tries to launch the Reader but for some reason the Reader app isn't finding the libpdfhost.so shared library.

I will post instructions on what to do to the framework.jar to get the Library app up and running, but I think long-term it won't be feasible to have since the changes will need to be applied every cm7 update.

What will probably happen is I will make an app that handles epub intents and passes that off to the Reader app. The Library is adding some extra info when it starts the Reader app so I will need to copy that.

This will all be possible once I figure out why the shared library isn't being loaded properly.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] xtravbx:
Nice job man! Keep it going
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] SamdungSpambot:
Would love to see this working as well keep up the good work
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] 12paq:
Really cool.

Great progress so far. If you need a tester I'm.

I completely understand why CM can't distribute B&N software, but often it is not recognised that to many of us, the Nook Color is a family device. So it would be great if we can make these mods ourselves.

With the Market Nook app not having newspapers and magazines or NC childrens books, we still have to accommodate the entire family, in which some members of mine, still think of Gingerbread only as a type of cookie. :-)

While I think about it...mmm ..could the library not be found because the original app's code was written to look within the file structure of Eclair instead of Gingerbread and Ext4? Or have you completely rewritten the code for the new file structure? Just thinking on my feet before I seriously studied the posted commands.

Thanks again!

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Mistar Muffin:
I attempted this a few weeks back myself. Your first post describes my findings exactly, including which files to copy over and adding the shared libs to platform.xml. Your followup post on modding the framework and getting the Library to stay open without FC is further than I got, however. If you want to compare notes, hit me on freenode, #nookie.

In the end, I gave up primarily because the work involved seemed to not be work it considering the Nook app from the market is quite good. The only thing it lacks is magazine subscriptions, I think. I might like a second look considering you seem to be getting closer.

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] JoshMiers:
Work was busy last week so I didn't have much time to look into this.

I have hit a few potentially serious roadblocks. Other than needing to modify the framework.jar (with fairly simple changes) I will also need to either modify the MediaProvider.apk or write my own media provider that declares the content:// URLs that the Reader and Library apps expect.

I figured out how to launch the Reader apk from the commandline, so it will be trivial to write a front-end to do this when an epub is clicked. Also, I have gottem the Reader app to display the first page of my epub before force closing (due to unhandled content:// intents).

I was going to just stop working on this since Aldiko is suitable for my needs right now, but judging by the replies I will keep banging on it and try and write a media provider for all the content intents being sent.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] OminousJune:
This would be awesome. Currently i have mine rooted using autonooter and softkey. I installed adw launcher to use live wallpaper. Of course it took away my books...

I did figure out a way to have books and live wallpaper at the same time. I just pressed home, chose original and it kept the live wallpaper and still had books on bottom. One more press of home and checked default for softkeys and it stuck. To disable home defaults to change wallpaper i just went into soft keys and cleared default, changed wallpaper and did same routine over.

I haven't tried widgets this way yet, as i don't care for widgets and not sure if icon shortcuts stayed (i have only had NC. for two afternoons). I will play with this more until otherwise, this may help until for the rest of you as well.

Edit: I would love to change to cyna or honeycomb but wont yet because of this, great work so far!!!!! Im game for trying as well!
