[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
first of all, NO you cannot just name a rom zip update.zip and flash from stock 3e recovery....3e recovery does not allow unsigned zip files to run on it...thats why you have to either flash back to 2.1 or root and use the unsigned 3e recovery mod

it doesnt matter if you return to stock 2.1 or not, when you flash a new rom, you will lose your setup....it wipes the phone except for your internal and external sd cards. root your phone and run titanium backup if you want to save all that stuff.

for your last question about the color. yes, its a png file inside /system/framework/framework-res.apk/res/drawable-hdpi, however, i dont recommend you go mucking around with that......and honestly, it wont look right with the rest of the theme anyway
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobapunk:
Ah, thanks for explaining why flashing from a zip in 3e will not work.

I am not sure what parts of the theme you don't think blue will go with...

From what I have seen, the indicators are green and the menus are black. I think that blue would go with that just as well as orange...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Johnnie5000:
I endorse it. There. Problem solved.

I flash Serendipity everytime MikeyMike puts out an update to it. Granted I flash a new rom at least every two days. Serendipity is always in my rom rotation.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bravomail:
word of caution

If you are really not sure - don't do any custom ROM flashing, it's overhyped.

Stay on stock, enjoy stability.

Or enter the wonderful world of bricking/unbricking.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] canadaboy37:
My first ROM was Cog 3.04, and I followed to 4.0, and 4.1.

Two days ago, I switched to Serendipity because I wanted a different experience besides something close to stock. It's not that Cog was bad...it's great.

What I'm discovering is that it's great to sample the ROMs until you find what fits you best, even if that means you're changing a lot.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ruger94:
I agree 100%...it's all up to the individual!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krazyphire:
In my opinion Cognition is for those who want as close to stock as possible and don't want to stray too far into the flashing foray.

Where as Roms such as Serendipity use the latest software released for the i9000 to enhance the device to a better experience and deviate is much from the stock mess as possible.

That and the fact that Cog is 2.2 and Serendipity is 2.2.1 :D
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drkstar81:
I used to be a big cognition fan until I tried serendipity. Cog is ok, but serendipity is more tailored to my wants and needs. So perhaps try both and see which one will suit you.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobapunk:

Even if I did Brick, it seems that $0.99 at radio shack and sacrificing my iGo adapter would be sufficient to un-brick...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] upNsmokeAllDay:
Any Rom is more stable than what was released by ATT and if you are bricking your phone then you should either read more or have some one more knowledgeable do it for you.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crossfire2500:
Pretty sure you haven't flashed before if you make a judgement like that. Stock is 1. Much slower, 2. Way less customizable, and 3. Boring.

Lastly, my honest perspective is that stability is the exact same as long as you don't go trekking around things you don't read about prior.

Install a good Rom, find a kernel that sounds the best for you-really just pick one that is popular-if you want. However most Roms come with a custom one so you need not mess with that unless you get interested. And if you want to play around even more, install a different modem. But, as before, that is not necessary.

Cog4.1 Rom

Suckerpunch#55 kernel

JL3 modem

does serendipity looks like stock rom? I tot it looks like nexus s?

I don't think it looks stock at all. Cog does. I think Serendipity looks (and functions) 100x better than the stock rom.

The version that works on my NC is 3.1.8

And it runs flawlessly!

That isn't the tegra version of fruit ninja either.
[Nook Color General] Cheese Masterj:
My version is 3.3.7. I thought the Galaxy Tab would scale well to the Nook screen, a previous version had a white bar across the top. I guess I'll try to hunt down 3.1.8.

[Nook Color General] mediabear:
How did you make Asphalt scale full screen? Did you have to use Spare Parts?
[Nook Color General] Cstanner17:
No I didn't have to use spare parts.

I usually just look for the Galaxy Tab versions of the game if there are any. So games tagged with "i9000" or "GT-i9000" then it should be compatible with the NC.

Dungeon Defenders works, but it isn't the smoothest. But I never checked to see if I could dumb down the graphics.

Has anyone got Gameloft's Let's Golf 2 working on NF 0.6.8?

What is your favorite font?

I've tried the font that comes with Warm2.2 Sense 2.0. The font that comes with Warm is too light, although I really like the font itself, just wrong color and a little thin, so I have flashed Dark Star/Coconut font and am liking it so far.

We all know where to get the fonts on xda so I don't think links are necessary unless you want to add them or someone asks. Same with screen shots.

Reason I'm starting this thread is there are so many fonts it's nice to have suggestions from other users. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=801160

So I'll start the format like this:

Dark Star/Coconut-Black in color. Somewhat bold, narrower font, easy to read and not heavy on cpu and battery.

I got two identical to this from Ben's Bazaar. I'm RMA'ing the replacement right now, I never got either to charge the batt at all. The description says for Fascinate and Mesmerize. On each I metered the 2 contacts (not 3 by the way) @ 0.0 vdc (same contacts on batt ~4.1 vdc)

I just want to add, in all of this, Ben's Bazaar has been a breeze to deal with. I have no fear that they will make this right.

I can't believe samsung made different batteries across the Galaxy S line. :confused:

I figured it out there is an extra usb power brick that is used to charge the Ext. batt, The usb communication cable won't charge the ext. batt. just the internal batt. Both cables need to be used. No instructions either.

[Nook Color General] vizographic:
I'm hoping for feedback or observations on the nooks battery compartment. In particular, what are the possibilities of installing a larger capacity battery? The teardown pics have provided good info, but I was wondering if anyone who has opened their baby up has noted any....extra space. The current battery is okay but you can never have to much power! : )
[Nook Color General] jwhited:
As with any device of this type, you'd definitely have some hefty constraints to work within.. Most notably, the thinness of the battery. It wouldn't be impossible to rig up a different battery, but you'd most likely not be able to fit one that lets you put the case back together properly.

In my opinion, it's probably not worth the effort. If you want some more battery life, get one of those rechargeable Duracell battery packs with micro-USB connector. They're like $35 at Wal Mart. I got one to use with my Atrix if I'm away from a charger for an extended period of time.
[Nook Color General] luigi90210:

[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
Seriously?? The NC gets 12 hours of runtime in full active use, and in standby it'll run almost forever (unless you have some widgets trying to stuff all the time even though wifi is off, HELLO WEATHERBUG)...

Do you really need more? More runtime, more WEIGHT?
[Nook Color General] vizographic:
When I got my 1st pc it had 512k of ram and a 10 Megabyte hardrive, freinds exclaimed: "damn you'll never use that much memory!" Well I did use all that memory and soon wished I had more. Hell yeah I'm serious about more power! What with running slingplayer, some serious web surfing, and a few rounds of heavy flash gaming, the Nooks current battery is..wanting. Sure the battery is fine for an email or two and maybe a few wikapedia searches, its more than most grandmas could ever want or dream of; but with current rom development running rampant the nooks abilities and uses are expanding. I'm not sure what is possible, I'm looking for observations pertaining to the interior dimensions of the nook. I remember seeing a reference (I don't think it was xda, it might of been along with one of the early tear down pick articles) where someone mentioned that there seemed to be enough interior space for some type of battery mod but there were no details. l will eventually pop it open and dig around myself but was hoping someone might have info to share.
[Nook Color General] vizographic:
Thanks for your reply. I 'm sure you will turn out to be right about the interior space constraints, its what my own gut feel contends. I did do some research on larger battery packs using tear down info and was surprised to find a wide range of battery capacities and volumetric formats for very modest prices. Given the nooks intended design, B&N would have sound economic reason not to pack the case with more battery than needed. We have a phone processor and larger screen, it is possible that the cases design is sized more for "look and feel" than mimimum volume. By the way how do you like the Atrix, dual core is very sexy, is it meeting your expectations?
[Nook Color General] Kayak83:
I believe the only thing thay kept them from adding more battery was weight. I think its current weight is at the heaviest it should be for an ereader. Im currently very pleased with my battery life. Combined standby/use time is well over 8 hours.
[Nook Color General] Divine_Madcat:
Look at the photos here:

http://www.zdnet.com/photos/nookcolor-teardown/487636?seq=31&tag=photo-frame;get-photo-roto

I guess it is "possible", but it will mean cutting out the metal backframe to add room for the battery. I don't mind modding things, but that might be a bit much should you ever want to hope for service...
[Nook Color General] woot1524:
please correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the nook color put together in such a fasion that once it's taken apart there is no way of putting it back together. I seem to remember there being people who's bezel came lose, and were required to do a return.
[Nook Color General] azj:
Since they went out of their way to use a special uUSB connector for charging I wonder if an external battery pack would be able to supply enough power while the NC is on to, at least, supply the normal usage. Anyone know what the current draw is when the NC is on?
[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
My NC ranges between 8% and 10%/hr usage, so that's 320mAh to 400mAh on low brightness, wifi on and semi-active, and reasonable stuff going on (not heavy gaming).
[Nook Color General] mrmark93:
If the power source had a standard USB outlet, you could use the OE B&N cable. Most likely an external power source wouldn't have the 500 mA restriction on it's USB ports; one would have to verify of course.
[Nook Color General] vizographic:
Looking at the picks do you think the battery pack could be doubled up? I wouldn't rule out a some dremel work to get 2x the battery life, if the external case could remain sound. From the picks it seems there might be space where the back case curves out. It's difficult to tell the depth of the curve relative to internal components, or if any real usable space is there. I'm kinda hoping to hear from someone who has popped the case.
