wow very overwhelmed

I have messed with Android here and there and drove 45miles to pick up a nook and got home and my laptop died. So from experience what is the most solid rom, I am not rom cracked out yet since I just got it just want to know which one people recommend for the most stability so far, and I am looking at the steps it takes as well. Any suggestions on anything would be greatly appreciated. Running version 1.0.1 .

I would say the rooted 1.1 stock rom to begin with and froyo on sdcard to play around with
sent via teletype

thanks reading on how this stuff works
been in windows mobile world for a while and I work with linux daily but.....again laptop just died so will get it going. Thanks reading tutorials.

definitely stock rooted is the way to go for now.

ditto but overclock it.

thanks again guys reading as we speak
I placed the auto nooter on sd card and plugged in and .......I got two removeable disk. I see two batch files but still reading, this is not as straight forward for me as of yet in reading because like everything there is 10 ways to do it.

^ agreed
This thread needs to be moved, it's misplaced

i suggest IOMonster rootpack sdimage, as i am always hosing my nook its become my sdcard of choice i have copies of all flashable roms, kernels and fixes on it. as well as anyother things i might need

thanks guys officially nooked
Really don't know what version as of yet have to get use to the home button bringing up action/control keys very cool device thanks so much to everyone

Ok about to step it up a bit guys
I like how you guys have the custom home screens without going to the extras, so I am looker for the next one up stable release from you guys expertise.

Some people are loading up alternative launchers like ADW or LauncherPro. Personally I like the stock look. LauncherPro and ADW are great on my phone but on the tablet it looks a bit hokey. I think the best setup is an overclocked stock rom right now but to each his/her own...

I got my nook Saturday. Here is what I did when I got home:
Upgraded to stock ROM 1.1
Rooted with Autonooter 3.0
Did some readin on the NookDevs site and XDA
Loaded Nookie Froyo 0.6.6 on SD
Doing more reading

Both options are nice guys, I just want really to add the back button from the soft key option to the main menu and the (menu button). As far as performance it is fine for what I want it to do, no sure I will overclock it if it really hurts battery life, and I was lookin gat Nookie Froyo as well as Autonooter 3.0 since I used the 2.xx version (I am comparing the difference between them). Thanks again guys for the advice

For those who use the stock launcher, is there a way to add apps to the home screen on the stock launcher? I actually MUCH prefer B&N's launcher, but there's so much free real estate there, and I'd love to be able to launch TweetDeck, PerfectViewer, Kindle from there...

dual boot with froyo thats what i did no problems

No, the only thing you can add are links to books you purchased on the Nook...no Amazon or public domain epub you sideloaded etc...

Advice: Wife Approval Factor

My wife would like apps on her NookColor.
My thought was just autonootering her Nook.
Can anyone think of a compelling reason to use Froyo, HC etc for her.
Thanks in advance

No... just keep Eclair if its for your wife, everything works ... if we ever get 2.2 then upgrade to a rooted 2.2... IMO

i agree 100%, messing with froyo, cm7, hc is good but you lose the great nook reader apps, (theres an market version but its not as good) and there not working perfectly yet.

Thanks guys...
I can still replace her launcher etc with zeam/launcher pro on a rooted nook correct?
I get my own NC soon (which I will be playing with).
I have also noticed the work on porting the stock app.

Yep, my wife (and myself too!) still on Auto Nootered 2.1 stock B&N because it's the most robust solution right now. No /boot eating itself, no market problems, the B&N Software works right, etc..
For the wife primarily, since she has purchased several childrens books and such, plus for her I like to Keep it Simple.
For me, I just like that it "just works" and no fuss. Would I like 2.2? Sure. The speed bump from 2.1 to 2.2 on my Nexus One was nice, but it's not worth the little annoyances and problems that happen randomly.

Dualboot to save your marriage! worked for me.. lol

+1 to this post exactly! Do autonooter up to 1.1 with a replacement launcher and disabled updates. My wife LOVES her 2.1, 1.1 B&N NC and has had zero complaints with watching movies, reading books, playing games, etc. She's not tech savvy at all either, so that's a testament to the NC's solidness running eclair. However this did require me tweaking a great deal of things overtime. If suggest you spend the first week with it in your arsenal tweaking it as need be so that when you five it to your wife it runs smoothly.

It seems like with 1.1.0 autonootered you can still get the instore stuff, although I haven't tested it myself (even though I live less than a mile from a B&N). Mine is straight stock 1.1.0/autonooter with the zeam launcher and it's damned near perfect. It actually works better than my first one (my wife's 1.0.1 unfortunately!) where the reading icon doesn't seem to work.
But on this one, all the functionality works perfect from what I can see. As a matter of fact, with the basic nook wallpaper background and zeam, you can't really tell it's rooted on first glance. As a matter of fact, my daughter got a big kick out of the 'read to me' book that comes on it, which she used after rooting.
It's the perfect solution, as far I'm concerned.

Just realized you were asking a more refined question: after rooting, is stock launcher required for in store experience. I want to try this today and will let you know.

There are now widespread reports of B&N updating the stock NC to 2.2 with Flash and B&N Market in a couple of weeks.
Waiting until then is probably the best bet for those who like the B&N features.
But admittedly the ability to wait a couple of weeks is probably rare these days.
Also, the OP stated:
My wife would like apps on her NookColor.

Of course, the stock Nook Color already has "apps".
Perhaps there is a specific app that she wants ?
Considering that most apps already run on the NC with Nookie Froyo installed, then it seems likely that the B&N Market will attract most of the popular apps, since they won't have to change anything in the code.
About the only apps that you will definitely not see is Reader Apps.
Lastly, "Wife Approval Factor" is a term that describes your wife's approval of something that you bought for yourself - 51 inch plasma TV, 4 foot high stereo speakers, etc.

You gentleman do realize that sometimes it's the WIFE who wants the complicated stuff and the husband who is still running stock, right? I had to configure tasker this morning on my husbands nexus one so that it would turn the sound off during meetings and back on afterwards, than installed CM7 on my nook color for kicks.
Having said that the stock is the most stable right now, and there are very few apps you can't install. (The only problems I had were with 2.2+ apps [stupid zombies] and things that required the phone stack [swype].)

Did you do something in particular to get the reading icon to work again? I've been on nootered 2.1 for a while now and the reading icon hasn't worked since I rooted it. I just assumed it was an issue with the 2.1 port.
Also, in regards to the OP, keep it stock 2.1 for your wife. I have yet to find an app that doesn't work on it, it's extremely stable, and the stock reader app is almost too bad ass to give up for 2.2, cm7, or the buggy as all hell HC.

Actually thats the next big test. Does using another launcher still permit in-store abilities?

I think it has to do with where you start. On my wife's nook, which was autonootered from 1.0.1, the reading icon doesn't work. On my nook, autonootered from 1.1.0, the reading icon does work. Simple as that. I'd love to be able to offer some slick thing I did to get it to work, but I didn't. Probably try and see if the 1.1.0 r2 thing will fix it for her but she's operational right now anyway.

Tested this morning. Works perfectly. As soon as I connected to the B&N network, the shop popped up and had the banner with free books, etc. I even downloaded the Oprah biography to "start reading" for free. I use Zeam as my default launcher.

My daughter rooted her 1.1 color nook and is thrilled with the 'cool apps'
She hasn't tested the instore functionality, but she did install the home switcher so she can switch back to the B&N home. I think that should allow instore functionality.
She posted a youtube video of how she rooted it. Thanks to everyone here for making it so easy!

Nook Color CM7 Unecessary Packages?

Forgive me if this is ignorant but does the CM release for encore really need to come packaged with the phone, camera, texting etc apps even thpigh its not a phone? I understand you can remove them through ADB so my question is, why is it part of the release in the first place? Also, (all of this is judt out of curiosoty) after looking at the nightly changelog, why are nightlies with changes that dont apply to the NC released as a NC nightly???
Thanks,
Moriarty

Moriarty, I have to agree. It looks like bloat-ware and when you see the phone icon in the launcher I was all confused at first being only a nook owner for 1 week. After looking around, I found Phiremod faster than CM7, but to be honest, being a noob, i havent found a singly package that comes in a .img file that is "awesome" for the nookcolor.

I highly doubt Phiremod is faster than CM7 considering it's a themed CM7 with a few preinstalled apps....

They are there, because they allow us to see most of the apps on the market. As it is, i am not sure why so many people fuss over these apps; they don't effect us, use battery, etc.
And Phriemod.... pff... all Phridemod was (since it isn't really active anymore) is just a CM7 with a theme. If it were faster, it was luck...

Words of wisdom lol. You need those to get all the market apps to show.
Maybe someone could write up a quick app to remove them though, I can't myself (and don't care to learn your something like that) but I'm sure it wouldn't be to difficult.

You can remove them with Titanium Backup (but they will reappear if you flash a new ROM).

What I meant was an app that would delete them all with just one click but yes, Titanium is great for that job. Root Explorer can do it too.

I believe that is because CM7 is one large development project that attempts to push Gingerbread to the limits. The various tablet/phone modders then take it and tweak it to run smoothly on the unit (Nook). If they stripped out all the camera, phone, etc apps, they would have to spend time doing that each time the main CM7 was updated. In addition, some of these apps at some point actually might work with the Nook, such as the camera app when, when additional hardware is found such as web cams, microphones, etc.
Having said that, it would probably make a lot of sense to strip them all out when a stable release is posted so that people who have no need can install that release and others can continue with the nightlies.

I know we're in Nook Color subforum, and it's implied that that's the device we're talking about, but that should be pointed out since the Nook Color isn't the only device running CyanogenMod.
I have a feeling this will always be an end user activity, however, because including the apps apparently opens up apps in the market you wouldn't otherwise see. I would think the people releasing the Mod would lean towards giving you all the options they can get away with, and leaving it up to you to close whatever doors you don't want to walk through.
Until someone makes, (or makes known an existing) market fooling application that will enable the apps you wouldn't see without having the .apks installed.

A really quick "fix" is to use something like Launcher Pro. I have had it installed since basically day one, and I have used it to hide those applications. Seriously, until this thread, I really did forget they are even installed.
I have hidden:
Camera
Car Home
Email
Latitude
Messaging
Phone
Sound Recorder
Voice Dialer

Yeah, this.. Plus a bunch of other apps that insist on having launchers, like some Live Wallpapers, widgets, etc.. Because users are idiots and give 1 star if they can't "open" a Market download.

Why do you knock phiremod that much? Is it really that bad and not worth considering? I have used it and thought it was cleaner than CM7 but there are other releases that I wouldn't mind trying like muiu something similar to that name.

It's just CM7 with some theme. Not like some great development like DM's and DB's Honeycomb, CyanogenMod's CM7, etc. Plus, it's basically been abandoned.

Because it has caused such confusion for devs here, and it is just silly. People looked at it like it was a different rom, when it was nothing more than a few nightlies that got themed. There is no actual work on the rom.. its all cosmetic. Even worse, is because of the delay in "releases", it really fell behind while CM7 was gaining steam (to the point where they were even using different kernels).
Perhaps i am too.... "mean", but i just call it like i see it at times. I apologize for urking some people; its just the way I am. I think people have a much better experience using CM7 and theming it as they want, rather than the pre-made stuff.

FWIW, I'm not a big fan of the rom either. I don't like it when folks replace all strings matching "CyanogenMod" with their custom name, slap on a different theme and bundle a few apps available in the market and then ask for donations.
I'm not going to try to stop anyone from doing it and I'm not going to get upset about it but I don't necessarily like it.

Since Phiremod himshelf decided to move away from this forum for his own reasons, I dont think its nice to listen only one side on this matter.
Anyway, its a matter of free decision.If U like Phiremod and its look, go with it.Or if U like other Roms, free to go.

[Q] To get even faster

I assumed this would be in the right place since this would take some tweaking of the guts. Aside from throwing on a custom rom (since we have none yet) what can I do to make this phone run even faster?

I like using LauncherPro found in the market, seems to drastically improve the performance of the homescreens.

I'm using Go launcher. I liked LP+ but invariably it seemed to eventually stop running correctly after awhile. GL hasn't done that. Thanks though

I have some tweaks I will post AFTER we get a working backup solution. Not my work...but worked on my phone. I had one person out of a handful say it boot looped the phone so better safe than sorry

I always use SPB Shell 3D. For4 what it does and how badass it looks it uses very little resources. If I could figure out how to upload my screenshots I would show you what it looks like.

well i was using nemus but cant tweak it the way i want with the themes... so i tried iLauncher which mimics the ios and it was running really smoothly untill i changed dpi and had 2 reflash... now im giving a 2nd shot to GL

8.9 LTE AT&T Gtab (SGH-i957) questions

So this is still a pretty new device, just rooted last week, and currently has no roms or recovery image available.
I am curious what things we can do to our STOCK rooted rom to improve performance.
Obviously overclocking is something we can do and has real benefits.
We can remove some of the bloatware that AT&T installs.
What else can we do to a stock rom to make it more efficient and more like an optimized custom rom, while we wait for the rom cooks to make us something nice?

Questions or Problems Should Not Be Posted in the Development Forum
Please Post in the Correct Forums and Read THIS
Moving to General

Woops, thanks mod!

like you said: overclock and remove bloatware. thats about it with root. use a custom launcher and it should be even faster.

What about zip aligning (what does this actually mean anyways)?
Any other kernel or system\general android tweaks?

Nuke/freeze the bloatware and wait for ICS to come out. Install ADW Launcher EX to get a smoother desktop experience. Overclock and enjoy owning the fastest dual-core Android tablet on the market at the moment.
Don't sweat deodexing or zipaligning, performance gains are minimal for the effort, learning curve is steep.

Get Titanium Backup from the Market, use it to nuke (uninstall) or freeze (just what it sounds like) bloatware applications. Careful with the nuking, best to just freeze so they don't run and don't show up in the app tray.
I hear that there are other apps on the market that will do the same thing, but I've been a Tit man for years, no need to change.

How about getting a newer version of the marketplace?
I noticed mine was way different looking then the market on my roommates eeepad transformer.
We compared versions and mine was way way older, and infact downloading way older versions of alot of apps.
For reference my market version is 1.0.28 and his is 3.4.4, my sprint evo 4g is also 3.4.4.

1.028 is not right. did you leave your tab connected to the internet for a while. it should auto update.

Don't rush the market update, trust me.
Sure, the Market browsing screen is flashier, but 3.4.4. on the Tab looks like ****e in the My Apps section, and loses some functionality. It's really a phone Market that's not quite formatted right for tablets yet. I'm guessing there will be an update again soon, for ICS tablets
That said, go to the Themes and Apps section in the 10.1 forums (or 8.9 too, think), there's a link to the APK, you can easily try it out.

My tablet is ALWAYS connected to the internet, and I tried to search for updates multiple times in the about system settings dialog and it always said it was up to date.
Also wanted to add that I did go ahead and install the 3.4.4 market last night. One of the apps I was hoping would be updated was Words with Friends, in the newer market it downloads a higher version number of the game, but in reality it is the exact same old version that was actually correctly version marked in my original market.
So basically even though it claims to be the newest version, it still gets the old version, even though in the version number in the game itself also claims to be the newer one.

One of the apps I was hoping would be updated was Words with Friends, in the newer market it downloads a higher version number of the game, but in reality it is the exact same old version that was actually correctly version marked in my original market.
So basically even though it claims to be the newest version, it still gets the old version, even though in the version number in the game itself also claims to be the newer one.

I have version 3.61 on the tablet and 4.61 on the phone. if you try to install the program from the android market website it says that program version varies by device. it is possible that 4.61 is not prepared for honeycomb yet. you could always find an apk for 4.61 online and install it. If you do, let me know how it goes.

tried the newest version of words on the tablet and it FCs every time.

Ok guys how about a way to delete these useless ATT bookmarks in the browser?
I have tried a bunch of random things I have read online for other devices and have yet to be able to remove them.

I tried this, but for some reason my chrome sync does not seem to work, like at all.
Not really sure why, but I cant see bookmarks from chrome on my tab, and chrome sees nothing from the tab bookmarks.
Even though when looking at my sync settings in google it looks like it all should be working....

EDIT: So looking online and I find this http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Chrome/thread?tid=63eebdb9d371658d&hl=en&start=40
Apparently sync for bookmarks is basically broken on honeycomb...
Is there another way to wipe these crappy att bookmarks?

Use it as a phone?
Can anyone install an app on the AT&T 8.9 tab for making phone calls? What about SMS? I am considering it but I don't want to switch my current smartphone SIM into a data only sim...
