[Nook Color Themes and Apps] bisena:
Hi! Thanks for the great work on this application. I love it. I have some feedback and a suggestion though:

The first thing is that automatic broadcast will always fail if the nook is directly tethered to the device providing gps. Changing the broadcast as you mentioned in this thread always works though. Maybe it's unique to my setup though: Stable cm7 on the NC along with a stock rooted Droid X.

Suggestion: Make a note regarding the changing of the IP on the page for the app in the Market. Took a bit to find this thread since I don't frequent XDA too often nowadays and it was pretty buried when I got here.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] lionclaw:
Thanks for the feedback bisena. We're overhauling the website and putting a new FAQ together. I'll make sure this gets added.

My guess is the tethering app on your Droid might not support UDP broadcast. I'll see about getting alternate pairing methods for these devices.

IIRC, black uses little to no power on the SAMOLED display.

Knowing that the screen is the largest power hog, I'm curious if anyone could explain why switching to a mostly, or all black wallpaper (on an already black theme/ROM) does not have any appreciable effect on battery life/usage?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diablo009:
Black = Absence of color

In an ideal scenario, the system should not be rendering those pixels and so save power.

I do understand people saying most of the time they use a black wallpaper. But, practically, how many people are on their home screen and for how long? Most of the time we are all using one app or the other. There may be widgets, etc at home screen, but don't think we spend that long staring at it. Personally I don't think I spend even 5-10% of my display time on home screen. So even if I had a black wallpaper, its hardly any battery saver.

1 hour screen on takes ~20% of my battery. So 3 hours of display ~60% of battery. Assuming 10% of this time I am on home screen with black background. That would less than 6% of my battery.

Further take off the power used for displaying home screen elements, widgets, etc, etc at say 50%. This would bring it down further to 3%. Is it worth saving this 3% battery when we could some nice pleasing wallpaper?

Reducing display brightness tends to help though since lowered brightness means lowered power needed to power up the screen.

All this is based on my understanding of the system.

Edit: U cud try applying dark color schemes to apps that support them, like say k9 mail, root explorer etc. This cud help while u r in that app.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KonaZXIII:
I put quote tags around the word color for specific emphasis on black not being a color lol

I use Serendipity 5.12 w/REDROM- almost everything is already black. I decided recently to see if adding a black wallpaper would help the craptastic battery life- since fidgeting w/kernels and modems did nothing noticeable to help (some combos made it worse, yeah).

Again the post is just out of pure curiosity.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JuniorGG:
I noticed the same power consumption also on my Samsung Galaxy S2 (GT-I9100), and I find it really unbearable, since it means that there is absolutely no way I can get more than 4 hours of continuous use without running the battery flat.

Displays, no matter what, should not drain so much power!

Just got my GF a Glacier yesterday and I'm curious.. What filesystem does HTC use on /system /cache /data and /dbdata?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jggimi:
The stock ROM is Froyo (Android 2.2.x), I understand its filesystems are EXT2. Gingerbread (Android 2.3) uses EXT4.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] regP:
Thanks. Nice to know HTC doesnt stick people with crappy filesystems like Samsung does.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jggimi:
Just a correction, and a clarification.

Correction: I mistyped. Froyo uses EXT3, the journalled version of EXT2. But EXT2/3 are the same when the filesystem is at rest.

Clarification: Should you elect to install a custom ROM, have a care to flash the right version of ClockworkMod Recovery to do your nandroid backups, restores, and ROM installs. CWMR version 2.x is for EXT3 filesystems, and CWMR version 3.x is for EXT4 filesystems, and they are not compatible.

There is an MT4G-unique version of CWM Recivert produces by Option94, our forum mod, which can deal with both EXT3 and EXT4 filesystems correctly. It goes by the name "Version 3.0.0.6" and there are a couple of threads about it in the development subforum. If you are switching back and forth between Froyo and Gingerbread, it is an easier way to go.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] regP:
Nice. I won't be converting her filesystem because frankly she wont notice :rolleyes:. Good bit of knowledge to have though, thanks!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
The reason they mentioned the different Recovery image for file systems is this. FroYo which is Ext3 will only use the older 2.5.x.x recovery images. IF you want to move to Gingerbread you will have to load a recovery image that handles Ext4 systems, which is Recovery Image 3.0.0.5.

you cannot flash 2.3 ROMs with a 2.5.x.x recovery image, nor can you restore back to a 2.2 ROM using 3.0.0.5.... you end up with a bootloop problem.

Now if you want to do both and not have to worry about the recovery image use 3.0.0.6, which a link can be found in my signature.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] regP:
I get you. Don't plan on doing any flashing on that phone. Was just curious as to what the default system was for the 4g. Thanks for all the info it def may come in handy some day.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pra.agar:
Hi Folks,

I bought my First Android Phone DHD just few days back. I was looking for some stuffs like Themes(Scene and Skin) and Apps kinda stuff for my DHD(HTC desire HD) and was a bit confused.

1) where can i find HTC Skin and Scene. I have Froyo installed in it.

2) My Battery gets drained very fast. How to optimize it and make the best use out of it? Any Apps recommended or any other tweak ?

3) What are the Best Apps that one can have in DHD. Anyone that one feels is best.

4) Is anti-virus needed for a Droid DHD? if so which one would you recommended?

5) I heard a news that Gingerbread 2.3 update is going to roll out somewhere within 2nd Q of 2011. Is this news official or just some rumors?

6) In my Gtalk i cant switch between my account as i can do in my Gmail Account. How do i do so in my GTalk?

and the last one.

7) I want to install Android (and if possible latest version) on my OLD HTC P3450 Touch handset. Where can i find the best guide to do so (Step by step installation guide) and the installable files of android OS too.

I know its a lots of question. But had this from a long time. had to ask.

Hope to get replies to the earliest.

Cheers

Prateek

1) where can i find HTC Skin and Scene. I have Froyo installed in it.

Press in your home screen on the colour pallet icon in the right down corner

2) My Battery gets drained very fast. How to optimize it and make the best use out of it? Any Apps recommended or any other tweak ?

The first days of your your DHD will be shorter than normal. it will not be longer than 24 hours by (for me) normal usage.

3) What are the Best Apps that one can have in DHD. Anyone that one feels is best.

For me: Whatsapp, Twitter and Angry Birds

4) Is anti-virus needed for a Droid DHD? if so which one would you recommended?

No google will protect you when you only use the android market to install apps

5) I heard a news that Gingerbread 2.3 update is going to roll out somewhere within 2nd Q of 2011. Is this news official or just some rumors?

The offical rom (beta) leaked today, so i think yes

6) In my Gtalk i cant switch between my account as i can do in my Gmail Account. How do i do so in my GTalk?

Sorry don't understand what you mean...

and the last one.

7) I want to install Android (and if possible latest version) on my OLD HTC P3450 Touch handset. Where can i find the best guide to do so (Step by step installation guide) and the installable files of android OS too.

I don't think this is the correct forum for that...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pra.agar:
thx psycho.

1) I didn't mean that. I meant the install file. Like urls to download more theme for my DHD. I want more theme to install in my DHD.

2) for battery thing, u suggest not to do anything and live on with what it gives?

5) official Rom? Sorry I didn't get that one. Can you please share the link that can help on it.

6) about gtalk. I hv two Google account. In gmail app I can switch from one account to another very easly. How do I do that same in gtalk app for android?

7) I know its not the right place but if u can help me with the link from where to get it, that would b helpful.

Look in HTC Hub

2) for battery thing, u suggest not to do anything and live on with what it gives?

There is little you can do. It's alluminum body, so you can't install a bigger battery, and the ones that claim to be the same size and greater capacity are fake.

5) official Rom? Sorry I didn't get that one. Can you please share the link that can help on it.

Look in the developement section. There are ROMs based on the leaked official 2.3 ROM. Please note that "official" means "by HTC", not "released". The leaked ROM is not ready to be released to market.

6) about gtalk. I hv two Google account. In gmail app I can switch from one account to another very easly. How do I do that same in gtalk app for android?

Can't help you with that. I don't use gtalk.

7) I know its not the right place but if u can help me with the link from where to get it, that would b helpful.

Look in the XDA forum for your phone. If there is a section called "Android Developement", you can find the ROMs there.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.m0x:
Regarding battery life it does get better after a few full charge/discharge cycles. A custom rom and kernel and learning to manage the battery will also help.

Sent from my Desire HD pocket rocket.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tkolev:
But still charging every night is needed unless you use your phone very rarely. Conditioning the battery and custom kernel with UV helps for the phone lasting through a heavy usage day, but unfortunately is not enough to ensure two days usage.

Your recovery image may be outdated, update your recovery image and then do a wipe on data, cache, and dev-cache and then reboot.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lucifersocom:
Ok I redownloaded the ROM and it works now no issue what so ever also did all this other stuff Thanks guys!

Oh ok and I am using the stock recovery. I tried amon_Ra and clockworkMod but hey both do something wrong cause everytime I do a backup something on my phone doesnt work afterwards or the recovery doesnt work and the Stock one is working perfectly fine.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waffle_:
You're welcome!

For good measures, you should wipe everything and then flash your recovery TWICE, and then reboot into recovery mode -- flashing it twice usually ensures a healthy installation without problems.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sixie:
As topic stated.

as most SE X10 owners (stockwise) most of us knows the Online Navigation/Map software called "Wisepilot"

now as far as i know there are 2 versions of wisepilot:

Wisepilot (wisepilot.com)

Sony Ericsson Wisepilot (sonyericsson.wisepilot.com)

regardless of the version theyre both wispilot.

now when i used to have Stock 1.6 and even the SE update to 2.1 there is a pre installed Wisepilot (SE version) or u can always download them using the phone's browser @ http://sonyericsson.wisepilot.com then select X10 and language.

but ofcourse u can also do the same @ http://wisepilot.com, both version will work on the stock roms.

now heres the problem for me, back in the days when SE X10 roms are still in development or not even being released, I had and still have a subscription running on my wisepilot (SE)

now that I have my X10 flashed (regardless of the rom) Ive tried the Beta4 of Z and currently im using Cyno6 Froyo. The SE Wisepilot wont work anymore, when starting the app im getting a message "your internet settings are not yet properly configured for wisepilot" ofcourse internet settings and all are in proper working order.

But when I download the stock Wisepilot version (http://wisepilot.com) and fire this up, this will work properly.

What im guessing is that the SE Wisepilot version is authenticating or checking the phone version wether or not its a geniune SE phone (in terms of software) and as we all know a Custom ROM wont show up as geniune as these are customs with custom version name, etc

***for reference, the 2 wisepilot version are totally different and are seperate in terms of subscriptions or account. u cant use the account info thats registered at http://sonyericsson.wisepilot.com to http://wisepilot.com or vise versa

has anyone came across this problem or might know what u can do about it?

in short my problem is, i have a sub on my SE Wisepilot which i cant use cuz I have a custom rom... (please dont troll me with "Then go back to stock rom" if so, just keep it to ur self cuz ur not helpful)

thnx
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] misayre:
Have a talk with the Wisepilot support team, explain your problem. They offered me a refund, so that I could switch between generic and specific version without loosing my already bought subscriptions.

Hi,

i just rooted my phone, before rooting i connected it with my pc and it worked. after rooting and trying to make livewallpapers enabled( what didnt worked because of to less memory in /system) i cant connect my g3 with my pc i tried everything, for sure the options ....
[Galaxy 3 General] Humpie:
Have you tried *#7284# ? (both pda)
[Galaxy 3 General] remygo:
What will it do?

I haven't done a hard reset or anything else ...
[Galaxy 3 General] kage0110:
*#7284# opens up an app called PhoneUtil. Don't worry, it doesn't hard reset your phone or harm it in any way.

Inside the app, under the heading "USB", switch from "PDA" to "MODEM". Now switch back to PDA. You can exit the app now.

Now try connecting to your PC. You should be good to go.

PS - You need to enter *#7284# from the stock Phone app/dialer. The code does nothing on third-party dialers.

[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
This is a little something I'm doing to see if this works better than having to do Nandroid Restores if you don't like a theme or it doesnt work just right...

This is still in test mode, I'd like some user feedback on how well it works..

This SHOULD restore your phone to stock AS FAR AS THEME WISE!!!!!

So after you Flash a theme and want to either flash another one or revert back. Try Flashing this...

I've tried to add the stock apps that seem to usually get themed, but You need to use 7zip to look inside the theme that you're wanting to replace and see if i missed one.

If I missed an app that your theme has simply pull it from the picknpack3 and place it in this theme and place it in system/app folder where the other apps are.

I've updated it to include all the apps in the current 3 themes for EB11...

****You can leave both themes zipped while doing this***

Conents

This Does have the accurate battery mod and I'm using the Splash of Color Battery.

It also has the reboot options...

Stock Apps I included are:

Browser

CalendarProvider

Camera

ClockPackage

Contacts

ContactsProvider

DialerTabActivity

Email

Gallery3D

GenieWidget

Gmail

GoogleQuickSearchBox

LatinIME

Mms

MyFiles

Phone

Settings

Swype

Talk

Vending

As Always Wipe Dalvik before flashing..

Flash this at your own risk!!!

Hope it helps to make switching themes a little easier..

What features are exclusive to the premium version?

It doesn't say anything at all about what's different from the free version.

[Android Apps and Games] AngrySwede:
That's something I've been wondering about myself and hopefully someone on this awesome forum knows the answer? Is it just a -feels good to pay- fee?
[Android Apps and Games] duongtunglam:
Here is the answer:

http://aldiko.zendesk.com/entries/4...aldiko-app-and-the-premium-version-aldiko-app

I love free-version, I read e-book in offline mode, open EPUB on SDcard, so the ads are not shown in offline. Update faster? I'm not feel about slow update :)
[Android Apps and Games] memotic:
I use Aldiko Premium.

You can read "Adobe DRM"-protected e-books. This was the main reason, why I bought the app.

You can also costumize things like font, brightness, font size, font color, background color and so on.
[Android Apps and Games] AngrySwede:
Thanks for the explanation. :)
[Android Apps and Games] Paul22000:
Interesting. I wonder why this isn't listed in the app description.

You can do these things in the free version, no?

really? I don't think so. Maybe, they changed the free version, after I paid money for the premium!:D

[Android Apps and Games] Paul22000:
Definitely not. I use it on my Nook Color running CM7 Gingerbread. :cool:

(Most likely it is an issue with the custom ROM you're using.)
[Android Apps and Games] musashiken:
I'm also using Aldiko Free on my Nexus One running CM7 nightlies, no FCs.

As for ads, I don't really see them at all in the free version...

And there's already an option to sign in with your Adobe ID to view Adobe DRM files, but since I don't have an ID, I didn't really try it out.

So I suppose the only difference is just the ads?
[Android Apps and Games] iconeo:
I am not sure what the difference is between the current free and premium version but I will say that the older version of Aldiko is MUCH better than the current version except for it not supporting the Adobe DRM. After owning both I'd say that that the old version is faster, uses less memory and has more options.

My favorite option is being able change the brightness by simply draggin your finger along a specified portion of the screen. Super handy!
[Android Apps and Games] Paul22000:
Hmm? You can do that with the current version as well :)
[Android Apps and Games] mobius999:
Font, font size and brightness are part of the free version. Also I believe background color, but only to sepia.
