Phone has been acting weird lately (getting FCs where the screen goes black for a while and either shuts off, restarts, or relaunches TW) so hopefully this will be the change for the better. I've got a cool bug that causes random hardlocks for no apparent reason. I've had it freeze while browsing on the SA app, had it freeze while just sitting idle (oh hey my phone isn't waking up when I hit the power button), with no apparent common cause.

Since I installed CM7 on my Evo, I've been having a new voicemail notification pop up randomly, even though I don't have any messages. Does anyone know how to fix this? I poked around on the CM forums and their "solution" is to switch to Google Voice...

Crossposting from the app thread: Does anyone know how to get Trillian working on MIUI? It works in Sense, it works in CM7, but it just stays at the "Signing in" popup on MIUI. e: Hurr I backed up the beta and not the Market version I bought. Nevermind! I guess this is a reminder that the beta version of Trillian doesn't work on CM7 or MIUI. At least not for me. Nut Bunnies fucked around with this message at 10:00 on Apr 15, 2011 |

However I can tell you that Google's voicemail is better than Sprint's, is free to use, and works perfectly with the EVO on CM7. You should look into giving it a shot.

So I have my nook rooted, and I have to ask, is there a better dock launcher program to use with the nook than launcherpro? I like launcher pro but the dock is mostly unuseable.

Use ADW. If you put CM7 on your Nook (you should) it comes with ADW preinstalled.

So I tried out ADW, but the dock is only three icons long, so I need to fiddle with it some more. clearly. I also have two new questions that came to me: If I clear out mSD card so I can use it again, will that unroot my nook? Seems stupid but I'm unsure if the nook is running the root off of the mSD or not. The second question: If I flash CM7 will I have to wipe all my data? auto-nooter didn't wipe is why I ask.

I restored a backup of the visual voicemail app to get rid of them.

Auto nooter runs off of internal memory, so no, wiping SD is fine. CM7 does require a wipe.

Oh, for some reason the CM7 builds for the Nook still have TelephonyProvider.apk and Phone.apk. If you remove these (I rename them to .apk.bak) then you should get more battery life. Remove TelephonyProvider first as your Nook will spaz when you remove Phone (until you reboot).

It doesn't seem to hurt anything, either. Up until yesterday I had two Nooks at my disposal. There are a couple of guys here at the office with them, so maybe I can do some testing.

Made it useless as an alarm clock because often times it would lock up in the middle of night. This new ROM seems stable so far. Just wish I had backed everything up beforehand. GPS and 4G work great.

My friend got a Moto Citrus free with a VZW service plan. Phone sucks. Rooted it. Stock ROM still sucks. Does anyone have any experience with citrus roms (pref 2.2), and have any recommendations as to what I can do to make this piece of crap phone as optimal as I can?

Low end moto's are the WORST, and that phone has some seriously poo poo specs. For $50, he could get a Samsung Continuum - as horrible as they are, they're still better than the citrus. And as long as you're leashed to a data plan for 2 years, you might as well have a usable device.

I ran that fix and while it made it so I could actually get a lock on satellites (7/8 in my area) it wouldn't pull down a specific location lock. But hey, this is a step in the right direction! I'll flash a sense rom tomorrow and see if I can't run that code.

The only 'issue' I've really had is my videos need to be encoded a certain way to play 100% correct on it, mostly because of CPU/GPU power on it, but other than that it works perfectly.

It's good right now, for the price, because nothing is really being developed for things that need a machine that runs faster (nook color is on par with a droid x). It's a large phone without the phone honestly, and things in the future that are made for tablets and dual core processors will be lovely on it. Short term, you can't go wrong with a Nook Color. Long term, the Xoom or something else is a better bet.

Reposting my question here rather than the apps thread in hopes someone can provide assistance: I just updated to Cyanogen 7 from an earlier RC. mostly working fine. However, some of my previously installed aps won't install. I get the little download icon on my notification bar that something is downloading but that dissapears after a few seconds and nothing installs. I get no notification that the download failed. This does not happen with all previously installed software... just many of my most used ones. I tried manually deleting the cache and removing anything I could see relating to the aps saved on my SIM.

I'm not going to run an SQL instance :p I use mine to check the ticketing system at work, read comics, gmail, browse facebook, watch youtube and Hulu and watch tv shows/movies. For that its perfect for the price. What else do you think a tablet is going to do? I'm not trying to be a smartass, I just honestly don't see what else you need processing power for in a tablet. Granted, the bigger screen would be nice for .pdf files

I still say the Viewsonic G-Tablet is a better option than the Nook if you're planing on rooting. Especially since the used market got flooded and you can find them for the same price or cheaper than the Nook.

For me it was a choice between an incomplete tablet that can't do some of the key things I need (Netflix) and also cost as much as a nice-ish laptop or buy a cheaper tablet to hold me over till the HC tablets aren't overpriced buggy turds (I'm aware this isn't everyone's experience, but I've read to many stories on the net to ignore them). The decision was made for me when the groupon deal allowed you to get the NC for half price, but even for 250 it's still a nice little piece.

If you're watching video in a format the GPU can't hardware accelerate, you'll want that processing power. My Nook can definitely be laggy with AVI files in rockplayer for instance. Not to say it isn't still awesome, but there is a valid reason occasionally to want some more CPU grunt. feedmegin fucked around with this message at 16:26 on Apr 16, 2011 |

I know some people were interested in Fascinates, so for those not checking XDA daily, there is now a port of CM6.2 with only a few things broken (MMS, most notably). Kaoscinate V5 is supposedly making progress on the Gingerbread front, though the public release is still the alpha wherein nothing works. Gingerbread is about to roll out for Galaxy S in Europe, so hopefully that will give them new things to work with. Blackhole 4.4 is out, which works wonderfully though my main gripe is that it deletes the stock Clock app. Everything else on it works great, and I'm having better luck with it than SuperClean 2.9.2 (which is now retired), which wouldn't activate 3G in order to check emails, update FB, etc. SuperClean looks a little sleeker, but I feel like Blackhole runs nicer.
