Went to Costco and picked one up fairly cheap. Not going to be heartbroken if no custom ROMs but would -like- a more AOSP experience as I've never particularly liked Samsungness. I looked around a good bit but not having any luck beyond rooting existing ROM and debloated stock ROMs. Are there...

Umm. Wow. I just dug out my old tablet and was wondering if I was going to scrap it or keep it. I remember there being a bunch of confusion (on my part) back when I was first rooting my tablet because Lenovo re-used the A7600 AND A-10 designations. I have the A7600-f / A10-70. No SIM, just...

Yep. Makes sense because the Z955A is the unlocked version. For folks who have the Z958, the story isn't as easy. But the info should help the Z955A users. I'd bet the Z955L is locked in the same manner as the Z958. I may attempt to root my Z958 but not until I get my new phone (the Z958 is...

A bit of a necro here ... Yep, it is a long-winded guide. I wrote everything as best I could just in case. I'd be surprised if more than 5 people are still looking to root this device. But for those folks, I updated the guide tonight. I hadn't used the tablet much until this past week, my...

There isn't going to be any major difference for most users right now. I picked up a 2015 so that I can take advantage of 802.11AC on 5Ghz WiFi. My 2.4Ghz channel gets scrambled whenever someone uses our microwave, but 5Ghz is fine. Beyond that you're not going to see major functional...

Wondering if these teams have investigated the new model? I have an original Chromecast, rooted without teensy since I got it from the first batch of original Chromecast. I haven't rooted on my 2015 yet hoping that it might be able to be, but I actually do have a need for it soon as my...

So I finally found a car ... ended up buying a 2006 Toyota Sienna Limited with less than 50K miules (insert long rant about flying across country to pick up a 2013 Rav4 only to find the dealer mis-advertised and accepted payment for the wrong trim level). After a lot of contemplation, and...

Thank you for the response :)

I'm (hopefully tomorrow) replacing my dying Jeep. Likely candidates are a 2014 Rav4 or a 2012 Town and Country. Both seem to have good double-din slots without having a lot of vehicle subsystems tied to the factory HU. So ... I am beginning to investigate putting in an Android HU. I'd like a...

Yeah that was my next plan, already have the stock ROM downloaded. Will report back. Was just hoping there was a known issue that I could fix without reverting. Not a big deal :) Thanks.

I'm trying to resurrect my I897 Captivate. I put it in the drawer a couple of years ago with Glitch kernel and AOKP ICS on it. My wife destroyed her Skyrocket (S2) and she needs a phone to use as a stand-in for a couple of months. I wiped it, no nandroid backup since I had no plans to use any...

Got mine in today. Worked perfectly well. I also got the back cover and ... well ... I consider it a bit of a waste since I'm using a TPU case. I was only wanting the back cover to shield the camera lens and guess what part is cut out? :) (I expected it to be cut out, but was hoping like the...

My battery was almost that awful after my first charge. Not much better on my 2nd charge. I'm on my 3rd charge now after rooting and doing a battery calibration and things -seem- to be much better but I'll know for sure in a day or so.

Read through this thread ... the G2 battery is too big.

My phone is still marked on the Play store as "will ship by Nov 5th" ... imagine my surprise when it showed up on my door today.

Just looked at Squaretrade. $99 deductible. $125 1-time payment or $192 over a 2-year span. $225 to insure a phone that cost you $350-$400? :eek:

I got pretty lucky ... I connected it to a network with access for a good 5 minutes but never got the auto-update. However I did connect it to a non-access network at first while it was initially setting up (as much as I could, setup program wouldn't go past "no internet") so perhaps it tried to...

This has been kind of ... no ... really damned frustrating for me. I bought a Nexus 7 with SIM slot for my wife for the holidays and just ASSUMED it would work with Square (she is a self-employed artist/merchant that does convention vending). We didn't discover this issue until we were past...

Script worked beautifully. Thanks. Captivate running AOKP m6. Saved me from having to go in and manually hack it like I did for stock 2.3. Donated :)

Answering my own question ... I found a way to get the device driver to recognize my Captivate with AOKP m6. First ... if adb over WIFI works for you, just use that. Easier. But ... if you want adb over USB and are having the same problem: WORKAROUND: Captivate adb over USB on Glitch v14 +...

I'm running AOKP m6 with the default Glitch kernel v14. The problem I'm was having is no adb over USB. My PC is running Windows 7 64-bit. The problem lies in the device showing in Device Manager as "SGH-I897" instead of one of the more common identifiers (which obviously were used by other...

I used the instructions as they were written and watched the video. Not sure what to tell you on the no file problem, as it was there for me. Maybe a corrupt download?

This is my first stab at AOKP or a Glitch kernel on my Captivate. I've noticed that I can't get adb over USB. Not just on the device when running normally but also unable to get adb in recovery mode. Is this a normal thing with Captivates and Glitch? I reflashed a few times, never got it to...

Trying to decide on a ROM for my Nook ... wiped out my old CM7, tried stock again just for lulz. I'm running AOKP m6 on my Captivate as of a few minutes ago. I know Nook isn't built by the AOKP team so just curious how long it will take for us to see a Nook version. NOTE: I'm -not- meaning...

Soft bricked my Captivate tonight (accidentally left a Heimdall 1-click open while trying to use another Heimdall instance to update my kernel, froze up, couldn't reboot). Thanks. Spent about an hour before I found this option. It worked like a charm. Donated.

(edit: wrong thread)

Wow. Sorry for the long delay in replying. It should work on Gingerbread ROMs just fine. After jumping from 2.2 to a couple of ICS ROMs (which I knew this probably wouldn't work on ... and there are other mod'ed Email.apk versions out there for ICS ROMs anyway) ... I decided to go back to...

I just checked out BlueStacks. It is SO close to working for my needs, and I did file the appropriate ideas/bugs to see if they'll work on making it happen in the future. However I still need to get my current project up and running (I am creating a way for our employees to demo a couple of...

I almost exclusively tether in 2 ways: 1) To tether my WiFi-only Android tablet ... which makes the traffic look pretty much identical to my phone 2) To tether my work laptop, which immediately connects to our VPN ... which makes it look nearly identical to my phone using the VPN Additionally...

Just a quick confirmation from me: picked up 2x of these. 1 for myself, 1 for my wife. No issues at all. Reset battery stats last night, drained completely, recharged while off. About to finish the charging cycle. TINY bit thicker than stock battery, and (surprise) about 20% heavier. I do...

I haven't seen that problem at all, and haven't been getting reports of bad issues with the mod. Are you running the 2.2 Froyo version of the Samsung Captivate stock firmware? Might be library incompatibilities with the 2.1 Eclair version. Otherwise I'd recommend: * re-downloading and...

I'm still using this on the Captivate with happiness. I decided I wanted to have it on my Nook Color, too. Unfortunately I didn't see CrEOF's post until after I got it done ... and I have about 6 hours to get to the airport ... so my Nook package is my original. However its working beautifully...

Thanks for this thread ... after adding the IMEI hack I still had the spinning cursor. Uninstalling and reinstalling worked for me. Running beta3.1 (kernel .32) and a HTC Vision modified build.prop for Netflix. All is going great :)

I use mine mostly for: 1) Browsing ... 2) Email / FacebookMail 3) Gaming (but am a bit frustrated with the lack of scaling in a lot of games) 4) Getting a license to each daily Amazon free app (I could use my phone, but don't, since I don't mind cluttering up my Nook) ... never know when I...

So I have the same problem ... "Loading ..." screen and inability to boot into CWM after flashing with ROM Manager. However your instructions are missing a step. You have the user creating the /boot directory with mkdir but not mounting /boot ... but at the end you have us umount /boot. I...

fwiw, I'm running 39 right now + Dalingrin 4/13a OC kernel and things seem fine so far.

Also curious on this. My main use for my Nook is while traveling in the car for a week+ where I already have way too many devices to charge :) Being able to have the Nook handy and ready to go without charging every day is what I want it for. I've been holding off moving from my current...

No, since your auto-nooter work will be erased by the CM7 install if you install to EMMC. You might want to back up your stock ROM "just in case" (some hints here) so that you can revert to Stock if you ever decide to do that. But otherwise don't do anything else until you get your CM7 running.

Does the OC kernel fix the sleep bug that is in CM7? I've been planning to upgrade to CM7 but since I figure it will be my last flash for awhile, I am waiting for that to come through first.

Here is the problem: Samsung releasing code for the Galaxy S has almost no bearing (other than you know that it can't happen -before- that date) on when the carriers release an update for their phone. Heck, it doesn't even mandate that the carrier will EVER release it. We bought a phone that...

I don't think Google minds -too- much that they are slowing down tablet development anyway. They've made it clear they want the "final solution" for tablets to be ChromeOS. Android for tablets is just a stop-gap measure.

Given that B&N set up store displays for the Nook Color that included a book that told you how to root the Nook ... I'd guess they were pretty open to the idea that it would be ... open. Heck, I've had 2 long conversations with employees in B&N stores telling them about how to get more up to...

This sucks. I wanted HC on my Nook. BUT, I completely understand it, and I don't really mind. Let them make the thing work to the level they feel comfortable with before they put their logo, market and apps on it. HC is still pretty messy right now ... and definitely NOT ready for phone...

Got it working. Yeah, so I don't know why ... but the security dialog where Android asks for permission to give Voice access to various phone settings never popped up on screen. But it DID come up ... on the notification bar ... and so since I'd never "ok'ed" it, it couldn't run. Once I ok'ed...

Ok, got past that hurdle. I had no SD card in the Nook. Thought that might be it after I remembered on my way home that AP Mobile will die without an SD card, too. Moved the shared_prefs files over and verified permissions. At this point GV will load. However it isn't actually working. *...

Yep, I did that the first couple of times before giving up that route and trying a complete copy. Going to give it another shot in a minute.

Unfortunately I've had no luck with this so far. I tried a couple of times. I even went in and moved my ENTIRE directory over. It still force-closes when clicking "Next" on the first screen. My devices: * Nook running HC v4 eMMC 2nd edition with the Gapps fix and updated build.prop ... Voice...

For idiots like me ... don't skip the "adb kill-server" step. I spent a good 15min uninstalling/reinstalling the driver. Dumb me.

I'll bump this, been using PlayOn for a couple of years now. Not the ideal solution, but there really isn't one. Don't bother with using Media Server, PlayOn has a dedicated app. It lets you watch a LOT more than just Netflix (Hulu, direct channels, local media files) via transcoding. The...

Similarly anecdotal evidence here. I removed my Gmail account from the Email app (actually I just told it not to sync my Gmail account), using Gmail for that. I still have a corporate account but I set it to NOT push during off-peak hours. Since making those 2 changes my battery life, especially...
