quick yes or no question - Nook Color General

I was debating on getting my wife a nc. But I was wondering if I root it, can you play Facebook games on it? like country story, restaurant city, etc. I read somewhere that flash works bit is really slow.

No... Not yet anyways. Maybe when the custom roms come out.

NC is powered by 2.1. No flash support till we get froyo on it.
It'll come sooner than you think.

yeah i believe it's flash 9 right now. doesnt work on all pages yet but better than nothing.
hero flash
its not the best but it good enough for now...... it can load most pages that have flash, but its flash heavy site u will have hard time interacting with that page.
Its been asked quite a few times so hopefully searches will point to this thread in the future. As kusotare has mentioned, Adobe are working on it and even made parts of Flash open source for others to work on it.
Hero has it but its only Flash 9 but soon enough (most likely on better hardware) there will be much better flash support in terms of speed and usability.
Is it just me but i rilly don't care about flash on my phone.
i so know im about to get flamed for saying this ^ haha

Well.. I use AT&T's 3G, as I live in the US. So, I had to "import" it from Canada. I already have a jailbroken iPhone 3G S. So, I really don't want another touch screen phone with the same form factor. The G1 has the physical keyboard and seems like it could make a pretty good back-up phone. Do you think it's pointless for me to keep this G1, even if I get the latest and smoothest ROM available???

The HTC Dream is the only phone with Android that I can think of that has support for AT&T's 3G network AND a physical keyboard. The BACKFLIP is coming out, but ... yeah, I'll pass on the whole MOTOBLUR OS. Also, what are my chances of bricking the phone? Seeing as I've never done this before and have no clue where to start.

You can worry about that later your jumping the gun already and your phone is still stock.
First you need to root and if your successful then you can worry about using roms.

I'd wait til CM6 becomes final. 2.1 IMO just doesn't run well enough on G1's hardware. The speed is there, but apps get killed too easily for memory.

There is a lot of good custom ROMs. Go check The Rom Bible and look at the ratings of every ROM there. You will find something good.
And I agree that Eclair is usable, but not to fast. You have to set up a swap partition to run it good enough to be a daily driver. However, you will not find as fast 2.1 ROM as stock Donut. G1 has too little RAM memory (processor is good enough). But something for something - if you once see 2.1 ROM you won't want to go back, trust me .
If you're looking for speed - check Dwang, it's very good.
BUT! Very much depends how your son will use the phone. If his gonna do a lot of multitasking and play with the phone 24/7 then he should stay on 1.6 or start reading how to really set up an Eclair ROM to run smooth. If he is really casual user then almost every ROM will be OK for him.

2.1 sucks for multitasking. My widgets update 5 minutes late on average and sometimes they never do and I have to open the app to get them to update. Horrible.

that problem went away for me as soon as I ditched all Widgets that required a background dedicated service.. rather than just using the widget API to update from application data.

Interesting.
If he's anything like my son, he'll be using the phone for messaging. I would definitely avoid Eclair and Froyo for now. No need to root it - stock 1.6 is fine for most everyday purposes. If he starts to want to install tons of apps, then you can root and start investigating your options.
lol that happened to me my first day having the phone >.<

[RECOVERY] psfServiceMod for Incredible [Updated 12/20 3:14pm]

Today Klutsh released psfServiceMod, which allows you to use an android device to downgrade a ps3. It currently supports most popular android phones.... now including the Droid Inc!
The latest release, 3.2, has everything fixed! I've had it for about a day now and all is good, backups and restores are no longer broken and psfreedom works, grab it here: http://www.klutsh.com/download/86/[...card: [url]http://www.klutsh.com/download/25/
Things to keep in mind:
There is a possibility that you will lose the ability to play Blu ray movies if you downgrade, i personally didn't, and i did it twice. I have a launch model 60GB for homebrew.
If your on 3.41 and want an alternate method of jailbreaking, you might consider Adrynaline's psfreedom kernel.
If you want to use the kernel make sure you have the right one, there is a sense and cm6 version. When your phone turns on, you need to open terminal emulator and enter:
su
insmod /system/lib/modules/psfreedom.ko
This method supports peek and poke and can be run with the phone on, however, it will disable usb mass storage, and wifi. To fix this, just flash back to another kernel like incrediblek's or ziggys. This code will need to be entered again if your phone reboots.
me too, would love to see this!
Yes a inc port will be awesome.

I tried with klutsh (who is a great guy btw) for over 40 recoveries and many custom kernels, he just cannot get it to work on the incredible. Done deal.
Get yourself a dedicated device. I got a used 1st gen ipod nano from craigslist for 10 dollars and it works flawlessly, all payloads and downgrades.

He tried 1 test build of the old psfmod. He rewrote the entire thing for this version. I really dont see the problem considering it has almost the exact hardware as the evo and both run clockwork. Am i missing something?
but, a 3.50 Jailbreak would be nice lol.
Im trying to get a service mod going, but i cant compile psfreedom.ko and if i do i get exec_format_error trying to run it. Im running a modded psfreedom kernel btw. Anyone think they can properly compile it? Or is it unlikely to work?
Is this different than Adrynalyne's psfreedom kernel? I'm just curious really, I never plan on owning a ps3.

Firstly, "HI!".
These Gingerbread ROMs aren't all SDK. Some of them are AOSP which means the source code for Gingerbread that is available. This isn't however a Nexus One flavour of the code which is what most people are waiting for (me included). Soime of the AOSP stuff doesn't fully work due to lack of drivers etc...
Still good for some people though.
No, we don't have enough whining threads. Let's make some more.

Well, if you want the official gingerbread, buy a Nexus S. Barring that, sit back and wait until it gets released for the N1. Pissing and moaning about it here will get you nothing. And wow...*****ing about a ROM that isn't fully optimized enough for you. Entitled much? I guess I must have missed the gingerbread ROM that YOU put out that was 100% optimized and running top speed. Those devs that have already put out ROMs deserve a freaking beer, not a whine-fest from you.

Google doesn't owe you any updates. You bought a working phone. Just because they do offer updates doesn't mean you are entitled to anything. If they never put out a gingerbread rom to the nexus one that's their right. They owe you nothing.

Yes, that is a bit disingenuous to say that, considering one of the major selling points of the Nexus One was that it was the flagship phone, and should expect to the first dibs on updates.
I have no resentment of the nexus S getting GB first, but seriously, they are dragging it on.

Most of us are rooted and running CyanogenMod7, and from the problems I read about from the people on unrooted phones, I wouldn't care if Google ever release a OTA, I'm happy with Cyanogen's builds, and I've never had issues with speed, except when I was on stock which was about three hours.

They owe "us" nothing. We bought a phone that was working, had an OS, and the only selling point of it was - it's a developer phone, easily rootable and customizable. Nobody ever said anything about updates, you didn't pay for them, and if you think you did - think again until you understand it completely. They happen? Thanks a lot. They don't? Oh well, such is life. They're delayed? Sit tight and wait.

It's true that they don't owe us anything, and it's their right if they decided that they are not going to update the nexus one. What I think people are complaining about is Google said about a month and a half ago that the OTA will be happening in the coming weeks. If they are going to take 2-3 months to push out the update then maybe 'coming weeks' probably wasn't the right choice of words, coming months is more appropriate.
I really don't like how Google handles all these updates, specifically how they chose to stay quiet about this issue. They said it'd be out in a few weeks, if it doesn't, why don't they give us some insight on what went wrong. A simple 'We found some bugs that would take a while to fix' and I'd be completely satisfied.

I paid a lot of money for my 2 computers too. But Dell and Microsoft don't "owe" me free updates either. Aside from that one time.........
Wait no, Google has never been too on target with their release dates.
There are still two major bugs that have to be fixed to my knowledge. The random reboot bug and the SD card vulnerability bug. Until these two bugs are fixed, 2.3 will not arrive on the N1.
