I was about to ask for help with a baffling issue - I've been using it for months, when all of a sudden it crashed (without error - right back to launcher) every time I tapped "WiFi" on the main screen (and often the headunit server would stop as well, but not always). On multiple devices, with...

If you're a Kodi user with an Android phone, I highly recommend installing the youtube addon for kodi, and installing the yatse remote for kodi app. Once you've done that you can use Share > Play on Media Server (an option enabled with a Yatse installation), and it will cast it to the Kodi...

"DSYJ Micro USB Host OTG Cable with Micro USB Power"

I decided to try to see just how far I could push this micro-sd port that is claimed to be "for power only". Turns out, pretty far. And without even using all that specific gear - just some random junk I wasn't using for anything else. I already had the following: A Unitek USB 3.0 Hub +...

Not comprehensive, but did grab a bunch of samples with some key differences (264/265 8/10 bit, 1080p/2160p, 60FPS) just to see what this stick could handle. My test bed was MX Player with the all-in-one decoder pack. Smooth Playback via HW/HW+ - h.264 8bit 1080p - x.265 8bit 1080p - x.265...

well I did my own homework - tried a chintzy 8GB stick with fat32. Didn't notice anything when I attached it - but when I pulled it I got a message saying "unexpected removal - to remove USB drive properly, go to Device > USB drive in settings" The funny thing is: there is no such place called...

Hi everyone! I have an OTG cable (with power passthrough) which I attached to my newly acquired fs4k. It worked for a remote w\ propietary dongle I had lying around, so I know it works in general. But the FS did not appear to recognize the 64GB SD card (formatted EXFAT) attached. I couldn't...

I've found the easiest way is install apps2fire on your phone/tablet. Install the apk you want on that - then it will upload/install directly to the stick (turn on adb in dev menu on stick) - I tjhink it might require the fire tv remote app as well. it can also copy files.also, do a voice...

Good to know on OTG! I tried something different to deal with wifi - I was using a tasker profile to start/stop hotspot based upon bluetooth connectivity, but I think that might have killed the hotspot at random times (minor break in bluetooth connection). I use the profile manually instead...

Just received it - before ordering it, I saw some mixed messages on media playback, so I decided to conduct my own semi-scientific tests - meaning grab a bunch of samples of typical media I consume (tv/movie/anime) with some key differences (264/265 8/10 bit, 1080p/2160p) just to see what this...

First off: I've been really enjoying this app! So much to love about it, especially in a car where it would be highly impractical to replace the headunit - and honestly the cheap 8" tablet I bought for it is much brighter and nicer than any monstrosity I could add to my car, (which are super...

Hi all, I am stuck on a logo, but can't even get to recovery, nor boot from SD/USB, and the toothpick button doesn't work as designed - it didn't appear to even before I started. Is there another way out of this pickle?

First you should confirm your model number - mine is the standard wifi-only module - SM-P900 For that model, the instructions at the top post of this post worked fine (don't use instructions on the lineage page - they're complex and people like me had problems getting them to work)...

Update - totally worth it! Buttery smooth. Odin method was actually pretty easy. Got nervous when the first boot took about 8 minutes, but it landed eventually.

SM-P900 used to see a folder for the tablet, and another for the SD card. Is this an expected limitation?

You sold me :). Of course now comes the challenge. Could not get heimdall to work; now trying Odin.

My SM-P900 is a great device, in terms of screen and pen, but not at all smooth (I'm on stock 5.0.2). It feels to me more like a hardware issue - not enough RAM, nor horsepower to deal with the all the pixels being pushed. I've have been poking around this forum all morning, and I'm still left...

I have the same question - unlocked my at&t note 5 and am using cricket. I went through ODIN to get to 6.0.1, but my company requires a more recent android security patch. While it's a bummer to have to once again factory wipe my dang phone, I'm happy to give it a try. Do you have any links...

"Unfortunately bluetooth share has stopped" My latest adventure with Super-Nexus since very carefully installing it yesterday (4.4.4 on NJ4). Happens in my car, and nowhere else. I'm thinking it's the phone bits that are crashing, because the audio continues to play right up until I tap OK...

Workaround works great - Yay - I get to keep the ROM! Thanks!

WIFI Hostpot not working I can turn on wifi hotspot, but can't find it. I've searched this thread and found a few mentions, but nothing official as to whether it's supported in the ROM. I'm using Super-Nexus on an NJ4 phone (love love lovel the ROM by the way!). If not, is it one of those...

+1 It's weird in that it uses the surface of your nook like the touchpad of a laptop, with a visible pointer. But, the result is that these games are actually playable. Nice find! Tried my old favorite - Day of the tentacle.

+ 1 on Cool Reader. It is updated almost daily, and has nice compatibility and performance.

What is the recommended way to test the time-to-charge? There are two issues that I see in capturing this data. 1) You really shouldn't run the thing dry - I mean it won't even boot with the power adapter plugged in until it has a little juice in the battery. I suppose youl could to drain it...

I didn't notice an amp output on the energizer. NC is looking for 1900 mA for proper charging. That first gizmo is dead perfect but 100 beans is a bit outside my budget too. I have a 4400 mah battery that does 1000 mA output- i wonder if that would add a few hours to my NC? I take very long...

I think the short answer is, if you're on "stock", no. If you're rooted, yes. Via multiple methods. Lots of brightness-control apps let you go lower (such as mentioned above), and I have two book readers (Aldiko and Cool Reader) which will both dim right down to off and every step between.

I think the best bet for these are through emulation of GBA, NES, SNES and Megadrive. Being turn-based, the inherent difficulties with on-screen gamepads become less of an issue. To play these (in case you don't already know): 1. Own the original cartridge 2. Get rom gripper 3. Use that to...

Scumm works. This version Scummvm1.3.0svn55436 Sent from my Nookcolor

Good point. Another idea is that the hardware folks aren't selling golden geese, like apple,whose make a ton on their music and video sales. I guess thats the ame reason nookc is cheaper- it does make sw sales w these. Sent from my Nookcolor

What I don't get is why these things cost so much! Netbooks have so much more under the hood (except for capacitive screen generally), and cost a 1/2 or a 1/3 what these are. plus they pay for MS licensing. I don't get why these things with off-the-rack parts and a free OS (I think it's free...

That's my take as well - this "trick" does fool the operating environment into thinking it's been updated. But that doesn't mean it will fool whatever process triggers the OTA check. It might be looking elsewhere for the information that tells the process to trigger the download. And...

It could be a boot-up process, but I doubt that because I would imagine that stock users would rarely need to shutdown. It's definitely not a sleep process, because there is no wifi on stock nook at sleepytime. Probably a small piece of some random "Hey I'm a Nook Color" daemon or what have you.

My guess is that a periodic process on the nook checks the status of some remote resource at B&N, and if it gets a hit, kicks off the OTA process which pulls the info from the remote site, and does its thing. My guess is based upon being in the software biz, and that's how we do it. Push...

Tiger seems to only support newer games (neogeo,cps2 etc). I'm an old guy who wants the classics. I find it hard to believe there's not a mame version out there. Maybe off-market? I want my galaga, digdug, asteroids, fat bobby, hopping mappy, violence fight Sent from my Nookcolor

Yeah, a lot of the reviews bemoaned its alleged "doesn't know what it is" status. I've rooted mine, OC'd it, isntalled dozens of apps and games. Yet I still use it primarily to read novels, and do some light web browsing. And for that, it's dead perfect. In other words, even an unrooted NC...

So the idea is that these could be used only for data and trickle-charging? Even if it's connecting the Nook to its official power-thingy (is there a name for those?)

A good starting place is nookdevs nookcolor portal - you can do all kinds of androidy things on this

...but it sounds like paradise :) OK - sorry.

I also have experienced the freeze after Dalvik-wipe. But I just powered off and booted right back into CW - I assume it's still wiped after that? Also, have been running on the 1100mhz all day - extremely perky now. I'm pinch-zooming like a crazy person. pinch-zoom, pinch-zoom, pinch-zoom...

^ Agree, I vote to lock this thread at this point. 1. The problem was solved - discovered that OP was trying to do something not supported by B&N (though it's easy to be confused by their naming conventions and misinformed store staff) 2. OP was advised of alternatives. 3. Now it's just a bunch...

Just a few topics below your own...

I'm fundamentally opposed to paying for a browser (I've bought other apps, but I mean browsers are, like, the original free app). It just seems like Android should come with an optomized, accelerated version of Chrome. Since it doesn't, I use the previous version of Dolphin HD (before...

The NC has the best screen under $500. And, from my research, it's appears to have better stability than some of the tempting off-brand tablets out there. (though there appears to be some QC issues).

You're probably right, but the second device i was referring to was a Coby Kyros 7015 which is an actual tablet and considered" not bad" Sent from my Nookcolor

If you only really want to read or surf, the Nook is terrific at those things. However, maybe one of the cheaper tablets would also do well at these? Like Pan Digital Novel, or a Coby or something? Or am I being a crazy person?

If its not gorilla glass (which it probably isn't) its still pretty tough and hiqual Sent from my Nookcolor

A couple of questions about this 1. I live near a bunch of B&N's - will they apply it for you even if you didn't buy the nook itself there? 2. For those that have had this done - do they do a great job at this (thorough cleaning first, then perfect application)? 3. Is there any real benefit...

I'm not questioning your choice, I'm just curious as to what was worse about "perfect viewer" or "jjcomic" that was better when using a pdf viewer. Because personally I find viewing comics on such a small screen requires maximum speed and flexibility in terms of zooming, rotating and page...

PV will zoom out (less than 100%) and use scaling algorithms like bicubic and averaging to make the image look smooth. But (to my knowledge) it will not zoom past 100%. The problem is that, when I use lanscape mode to view a row of comic panes, if the width of the image is less than 1024...

Ok gotta give it up for jj comic. Does 2 things pv doesn't- zoom past full resolution and can crop white space Sent from my Nookcolor
