Ozmodiar posted:Yeah...I got that much... Interactive is a bit fuzzy, but it apparently scales the processor speed using a more sophisticated algorithm than ondemand, which supposedly increases responsiveness. Conservative scales the processor up in steps based on load, rather than ondemand (which just goes to max once load crosses a certain threshold). According to the SetCPU coder, "The userspace governor is currently useless. It's another way for applications to set the CPU speed that SetCPU does not use." I've become a fan of the smartass governor, which is available in some new kernels and automatically throttles back the max frequency when the screen is off. Saves the need for a SetCPU profile to do this.

rotaryfun posted:Welp it came up this time. All is well. Am I missing out on anything by running launcher pro in cyanogen rather than ADW that it comes with? they are both fairly similar, LP has some widgets if you get the full version and it should be getting revamped soon, but if you havent tried it allready, id suggest Zeam. Its really light weight and it has a great dock bar on it, also lets you set swipe up and swipe down on the home screen to open apps or app draws or all sorts. The only downside to zeam is that you cant change the order of your homescreens if you decide to switch them around, but if you plan out where you want stuff first or you dont mind moving things one by one its not a big issue.

I recently purchased a Nook color and am looking for an easy way to root it so I can transfer my amazing apps over to it and just make it look pretty. Then show it off to everyone at my company who bought an iPad and laugh. Any help with this? The stuff I found online was about it being rooted but no real how to's. I'm sure I could find some if I were to really dig into it, but I'm high on pain meds and about to go to sleep. Figured I would ask prior to passing out and see what comes up when I wake up. Thank you

Ozmodiar posted:Wile I'm asking, there's a checkbox for "Set on boot" - Restpre CPU Settings on Boot. Does this mean that whatever governor I select will not remain selected on a reboot unless I check that box? Yes, it's a failsafe so if you gently caress up your phone, a reboot will fix it. The idea is you change it, run it for a while to see if it's stable, then check the checkbox. Realistically, you're not going to be running anything unstable, so you can just put a check in the box.

I loved MIUI, until I had to make a phone call or look up a contact. https://market.android.com/details?id=com.jbapps.contact&feature=search_result Go Contacts does this. I've not used it just yet but I use GoSMS and I love it. Made by the same people. edit: Played with it a little bit. I like it just fine. I probably won't switch but then I don't have a preference on what my dialer/contacts look like or operate. You can't change the themes like you can with GoSMS but I still like how it looks either way. Joey Freshwater fucked around with this message at 18:10 on Mar 17, 2011 |

rotaryfun posted:This is pretty much the state I'm in now. It's pretty euphoric just how much snappier everything is with the OG Droid. Im almost 100% sure the droid isnt a 600MHz processor. ive overclocked mine to 1100MHz, and while it was kind of a bitch on batterylife til i setup setcpu, it never got any hotter than normal unless setcpu stopped controlling it and let it run free. It is just clocked at 600 by default in stock kernels i think. EDIT: ignore this, was using the awful app on my phone, thought I was at the end of the topic.

Casao posted:What about it didn't you like? It's hard to recommend an alternative if you don't explain what you didn't like about it. Sorry, I assumed that changing it wouldn't be an option in the first place. The dialer screen is very bare, in that I cannot access the contacts list or favourites (or anything else) without first hitting the menu key. A silly nitpick, but it was something the "regular" dialer has, that I missed and was frustrated by, when it wasn't there. The default for items in the recent call list when you tap them, is to dial the number, instead of bring up the contact (like the regular dialer/contact list). I found out later that this was an adjustable option. In short, the dialer/contact list in miui just seemed far less integrated than stock android, and I couldn't see any reason they did that. In all cases it aggravated me. Ignoring the dialer/contact list, I don't really have a preference between cm7/miui, they are both nice in their own ways. I use cm7 because of that dialer issue, and it has development for my specific device. I don't have to rely on some person being kind enough to port a current version. I would love to use the Monitor application that comes with miui in cm7, but it always fails to install, unsurprisingly.

So i heard that the geniuses at cyanogen have managed to enable bluetooth on the nook. Are any of you running a rooted nook? What are your experiences? So far i am just running the stock os with root and launcher pro. There are a few annoying quirks, which i have some hope of a non b&n os might fix.

Right now it's not that useful thanks to the range being so short. I don't have a wii controller, but I hear those work well enough to use for emulators, and that keyboards work well too. The range is too short for A2DP, my headphones cut out after barely a foot.

Doctor Butts posted:Is there something with the dialer for CM7 that does not allow me to longpress on a number to dial a contact? Not sure about longpress, but you can change the settings of the dialer to put dial buttons on the right side of all the contacts. In preferences within dialer in the "call log" section, there is an option for "show dial button."

Neat trick! However that's also only useful if you're in a place you could be using a PC. I use my Nook on the train, and while on lunch at work.

Nerobro posted:What are you running? Do you have the nook suite installed still? As long as you have a 2GB+ microSD card and an adapter to use it in a computer lying around, you can run both. Nookdevs instructions to burn an image to an SD card xda thread CM7 with experimental BT support Just follow the instructions in the 1st link but use the image file from xda. It is a really simple process and after the SD card is setup, you just boot the Nook Color with the SD card in it to use CM7 and boot it with the SD card ejected to use your on-board OS. Thats all there is to it. If you want Market/Google apps on CM7, you will have to run these steps (that involve adb), but you should be able to test your keyboard to see if it is worth the effort without that. If it works well, you could either continue setting up the SD card, or think about installing CM7 on the actual device. Edit: I currently have the default software on the device just because I have been too lazy to flash CM7 to it (and have been hoping that 3.0 AOSP is released so I can play with it before I go through the hassle). Running CM7 off the SD card is pretty smooth - even before overclocking it to 925MHz in the CM7 settings. I have only used the BT to attach an external GPS and it worked, but the range was only a couple inches. Fancy_Lad fucked around with this message at 19:27 on Mar 18, 2011 |

In preferences within dialer in the "call log" section, there is an option for "show dial button." You can do this, but it's not necessary. You can just tap on the colored arrow on the right side that shows if the call was incoming, outgoing, or missed and that will call that number as well. I like that way since there's more room to see call details.

Droid here running CM6 rooted. Is CM7 nightly the way to go now? I see a lot of people saying they run CM7. Also, do I just download and replace the update.zip on my storage card with CM7 and reboot the phone?
