[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] focgreen:
There's nothing to get over it. It's the people who have never used a device more than a 5 minute demo in a store that really shouldn't say anything. I do think they make aesthetically pleasing products.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tenburn:
This was a decent troll. It got a lot of the "smarter than thou" types. 7/10.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droiderific:
Me, too. I don't think advertising illegal activities would be wise; a dev definitely wouldn't share it, even if by some Herculean effort he accomplished it.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iczerjones:
I think you just hit the nail on the head. To the OP, would it be cool? Sure. Would it be a neat exercise in hacking some code onto our beloved NC? Absolutely. Is it totally illegal and not to mention, the device IDs that I'm sure are passed along when you try to access the app store would likely restrict access to, arguably, the best part of iOS - the iTunes ecosystem and app store.

Aside from that, the xcode everything was written in was not compiled for our hardware profile, meaning you would almost certainly run into compatibility issues and bad calls due to missing driver trees from the kernel.

Great thought experiment, but iOS just isn't really suited for this sort of thing. The limited hardware scope is one of the biggest boons it has going for it. So few target devices to contend with.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slack3r:
I think MIUI would be better to pursue...

iOS is never gonna happen.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cainhunpi:
Please not MIUI
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] austontatious:
Good call - I didn't think about it possibly being illegal, although there are ports all over the place for windows and that's closed source as well - bill gates hasn't taken anyone's dog or killed their parents yet. And I did mean similar hardware in terms of input devices, buttons and such, as that was an issue with porting win7 to earlier hardware. Lastly, a simple "no" would have sufficed.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dseda86:
Eek...I left iOS to run android. Even if it could be ported it most definitely wouldn't run smooth.

hTC Evo CM7-n17
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] painter_:
The Windows Mobile ROMs are for devices that already licensed to run that OS. There is only three devices licensed to run IOS all are Apple devices and the Nook is not one of them.

There is the same debate in the netbook arena for Hackintosh. The only legal way to run OSX is with the license that is included with a Mac. You can buy the OS but it is still breaking the license to install it on anything but a Mac.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poofyhairguy:
As a 5 year Hackintosher I can tell you that the issue isn't Apple's license or copyright because some of us don't have any respect for that what-so-ever.

The problem is the lack of drivers. Hackintoshing works because you build fake Macs with the same internal parts (CPU, GPU, system bus, etc.) that a real Mac has. In this way you can use the native hardware drivers that Apple created on your hackintosh.

The Nook Color on the other hand doesn't share a single part with any iDevice. Apple's iPad and iPhone have a custom Apple CPU, that is different. Apple uses a slightly different GPU than the nook has, and a different touch screen. With the major three parts of the device different from any iDevice, even if you could hack iOS onto a Nook Color the screen wouldn't respond and it would be laggier than a 486 running Android.

Now that the iPad 1 can be had (refurbished) for $349 the honest truth is if you want iOS poney up the extra $100 and get it. Personally I am MUCH preferring my Nook Color to any iPad I have seen with its perfect sized screen, browsers with tabs, and the ability to hack the device without jailbreaking it first.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luigi90210:
you couldnt have explained it any better

but the ipad and the nook share the same screen technology its just in different sizes(ipad being 9.4 in and nook color being 7 in
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A. Nonymous:
It takes more than a screen to make a decent port. The screen itself is the least of your worries if you're trying to port an OS. The under the hood stuff is what will bite you in the ass. That's where the problem is.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chadamir:
Has IOS even been booted on non-apple hardware?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luigi90210:
im not a stupid FYI

if you read his post he said they dont share any hardware similarities and i was just correcting him because the screen on the nook and the ipad are the same
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] umashi1:
I'm new here and sorry to bump an old thread

however i would like to state some information in case it would be helpful

the ipad 1st gen uses the same

ARM Cortex-A8 cpu

the only differeence is that

the apple a4 uses a PowerVR SGX535

whereas the nook color uses a PowerVR SGX530

and has a ram capacity of 512mb of ram compared to the ipad which has 256mb of ram.

I hope you don't mind but i posted some links to clarify everything

i just hope i'm not overstepping my boundaries

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_A4"]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_A4

If i might say so myself i believe it would be highly possible to port ios to the nook color

the issue that would arise would be trying to find someone willing to take the time out

to pursue this and do all the coding to make it happen not to mention

finding an os image to reverse engineer

which is where the issue arises as i'm pretty sure it would be highly improbable to find any os image for ios.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VeryCoolAlan:
In your opinion?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsteven77x:
Uhh....its not?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:
This question should be answered by s15 he's the biggest fan of trigger I've ever met.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VeryCoolAlan:
Yeah that's why I asked.

I though he was gonna be the first one to answer lol

Any ways in your opinions which one is better in terms of stability and speed
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iynfynity:
For ME i don't really notice a difference when it comes to speed and stability. battery life is also good on both.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomasitoc:
don't know never used trigger
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxxman999:
not much different. Both are smooth and stable. for my vib, battery is a little better on trigger using same modem/kernel.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GreggoryD502:
I can't say anything negative about bionix cause I haven't used tw rims since 2.1. But trigger is super smooth and fast and for me has zero issues. Everything works. Also if you look around in triggers thread you will see birgertime all over it answering questions and taking suggestions and being a overall really good guy. That's what sets them apart to me.

Trigger + Overstock = Awesomeness
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] |Melvin|:
in my opinion i like bionix more than trigger...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masterotaku:
Lately I've tried Bionix, Bionix Frost, Trigger, Darky's, and am currently running Sweet Honey. Currently liking Sweet Honey simply because I've always had a soft spot for Touchwiz and with this iteration it seems to finally not suck.

Having said that all of the above have been worthy daily drivers for me. I'm just glad to have the choices. :)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ghost8516:
I would have to say I like bionix better.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oka1:
I Like the trigger, and the Axura both probably more than any others. Not from a performance point, because Bionix, EDT, Axura and Trigger area all equal, it is just the small details, and the sense that it gives you such a nice feel that wins me over to those 2 above the rest.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Duce HD2:
I've always been a bionix lover, but I have to say that lately there's no talk from the devs or others...i think the whole vibrant deal is starting to wear off..unfortunately.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galano:
Bionix or Trigger?

I've only had the chance to try bionix 1.3 and then 1.3.1. With Bionix the wifi drop was quite upsetting however voodoo sound with overstock kernel was simply amazing. version 1.3.1 is missing overstock which is a big disappointment for me as voodoo sound is no longer an option. I did however flash overstock after flashing 1.3.1 so far I get Fc's often and the launcher glitches. Trigger no complaints except bad battery life however it may have been just me. I had heavy use. Between texts and music along with wifi and occasional ten min timeout on screen I avg 6 hours. performance wise I enjoy Trigger.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jRi0T68:
One reason there may not be any posts from TW in the Bionix thread is that Som said it was basically the final update. That and I think work may be being focused on Gingerbread.

Bionix Frost

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hazard99:
I think they are all great rom's just depends on which one gets your attention more.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carlcj5:
I tried trigger for 2 days and switched back...i didnt notice any difference other than theme.

I would have given it more time had splash of color been available for it,i prefer a very colorful apearence outside of being very fast..asfor battery life,thats of little importance to me...i have 3 batteries and an external charger

Hi, yesterday I was in a post and saw screenshots for an autobrightness level changing app (I think it was in relation to nightly 12 for CM7). It was a very plain app that allowed you to change the levels. Can someone bring me up to speed or post a link to the post I'm thinking of?

TIA.

[EVO 4G General] fixxxer2008:
...with their evo i mean. just seems a bit quiet round here lately. not alot of new roms or themes to try out either. im itching to try something new but im not sure what? lmao!

;)
[EVO 4G General] CheesyNutz:
you said the same thing about the hero too
[EVO 4G General] fixxxer2008:
i know it, about the time the development got quiet. i may have to start developing again for the evo.
[EVO 4G General] CheesyNutz:
nobody needs that drama again
[EVO 4G General] fixxxer2008:
there was no drama, it was neb that had a bug up his ass. actually my roms were quit popular. but i dev for myself now, too much BS on here.

not bored with the evo, bored as far as roms & themeing.
[EVO 4G General] phatmanxxl:
Well once gingerbread and sense 2.0 are officially released for the evo, I'm sure well get another wave of development here. I agreeits slowed down some.

[EVO 4G General] dirkyd3rk:
Try rocket bunnies its like the new angry birds but I like it better.
[EVO 4G General] fixxxer2008:
it won't, not with the new evo3d launching. that will probably have ginger on it from the get go. face it, the evo is almost a year old, i think major updates are done for it. as soon as they can get the ginger/sense 2.0 to work on the desire, then we will have a port for our evo's.
[EVO 4G General] fixxxer2008:
well this thread didn't go like i thought it would! :D

i meant id love to see new themes be ported or come out but honestly i just looked at the desire & nexus sections and it's pretty stale there too. :(

Rocket bunnies will cheer you up I promise.

P.s I forgot to warn you once you try RB it will put a black hole in productivity.
[EVO 4G General] jacoballen22:

there are some great roms & themes but after awhile it does get stale. once we get some gingerbread / honeycomb roms " non cm " type im sure it will pick up a bit!

either that or what happened to the hero will happen here and all the devs will leave and go to the evo3d or nexus s. :eek:
[EVO 4G General] kingdazy:
great design, great logo, great icon even. this should be good for a week. ;) thanks for the suggestion.

yea, HTC phones get all the love. so F'ing glad I didnt get an Epic. ;) (impaler almost talked me into it!)

and now I don't have to watch the Hero users spin in place all day long either. :D
[EVO 4G General] touch_rules:
Have you tried the MIUI rom yet? I was bored too and this has livened up my EVO experience for a little while. It has a Theme Manager that you can change the themes and download them so easily so even when you get bored with it you can change it up all the time without having to flash themes. It's pretty cool.
[EVO 4G General] fixxxer2008:
the epic development just skyrocketed lately. they also have a sense port, cm7 port and also miui. not a bad device to have now although i still doubt id buy another for myself.
[EVO 4G General] alnova1:
Yea I kinda liked MIUI and its features...just wanted to play with GB some more..
[EVO 4G General] fixxxer2008:
i tried miui for 2 weeks before, not bad just not my style. i too want to try gingerbread but im waiting on a sense port. im not a fan of cm roms.
[EVO 4G General] kingdazy:
crap, lol. really?

dont like the physical build of Samsung, but got to admit, that screen is loverly, and the CPU/GPU is nice too...

might have to head over there, just see whats what. :)
[EVO 4G General] fixxxer2008:
i think the biggest laugh i had was when i went to sprint and looked at the evo shift. i mean, my god that is one small damn phone. i put it side by side with my evo and i laughed. never should of even been called an evo anything!

- Reboot

.. might as well wipe your cache and dalvik too (they dont wipe any settings).
