    Post [DEV][ROM][CM11][4.4.4][KTU84Q]VivoKat[ION][27/10/2014]

    I was tracking down the reason why headset buttons don't work, and found the following piece of code rejects headset button events: In the arch/arm/mach-msm/htc_headset_mgr.c file, int hs_notify_key_event(int key_code) { ... if (hi->hs_35mm_type == HEADSET_INDICATOR) { HS_LOG("Not support...

    Post Can't S-OFF 'cause revolutionary.io is down. What to do?

    OK, I gave up on S-OFF path and took the other path described here. I tried ARHD 6.0, VivoKat, CyanVivo X Reborn, and also the original ICS rom from HTC. All worked fine.

    Thread Can't S-OFF 'cause revolutionary.io is down. What to do?

    I got my hands on an old Incredible S and found this great forum. I started following the steps in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1705913, but stuck on the section 2 because revolutionary.io is unreachable atm and the key cannot be generated (though I got the...

    Post kindle 3 lcd in nook ST - is it possible ???

    I can confirm the e-ink screen for Kindle Keyboard can be put into Nook Simple Touch, working beautifully. Just be careful when taking NST apart, because the e-ink screen is VERY tightly glued to the back panel, using some kind of strong double sided tape. I ended up cracking it...

    Post Minimal rooting - back to basics

    Thank you for the advice. Then, if I want to use adb over wifi, but want it to be off (or standby or whatever state that doesn't allow adb connection over wifi) at boot so that it can be toggled on/off later using one of adb wireless apps, what should I do? Is keeping "setprop...

    Post Minimal rooting - back to basics

    Then what about adb wireless apps? Do we still need one of those to adb-connect wirelessly? I tried this on a fresh Nook with 1.1.2, and don't seem to be able to connect to the Nook.

    Thread [Q] anyone having 1.1.2 firmware file?

    For some reasons, I need to downgrade my NST to 1.1.2, but couldn't find the firmware file anywhere. It used to be around on this forum, but the link to the file (hosted on MediaFire) was now gone... Is there anyone with that firmware file? I would appreciate it...

    Post [Gparted] Nook Simple Touch resize partitions non-destructive

    Good to hear another success story. In my case I squeezed all the way to 1.45GB for the side-loaded contents. boot/rom/system/cache/data partitions are shrunken, and factory partition is busted. I had to use fdisk instead of GPartED to completely recreate the partition table, though. I think...

    Post [Q] Questions regarding the two NST rooted with the same process

    Out of curiosity, I just deleted BCB and BootCnt in the rom partition, and rebooted. First it said "Install Failed", a screen I have never seen before on Nook. So I looked into the rom partition and found that BCB file is recreated, but not BootCnt. On the subsequent boot, it said "Installing...

    Thread [Q] Questions regarding the two NST rooted with the same process

    I rooted two nooks, and made tar backups of their partitions (I also got the dd image just in case). Out of curiosity, and with the goal of keeping minimal backup and increasing the partition for side-loaded contents to maximum, I tried to compare the contents of each partition. Since I followed...

    Post [APP][NST][NSTG][1.2.x]NTGAppsAttack - Google Apps Installer Addon For NookManager

    I tested straygecko's approach instead of adding layout_width, and gtalk didn't crash. It runs fine on execution. Still the keyboard doesn't popup though. Believing that I can find a working alternative, I tried Xabber. Well, it suffered exactly the same problem: no keyboard popping up, and no...

    Post [APP][NST][NSTG][1.2.x]NTGAppsAttack - Google Apps Installer Addon For NookManager

    Precisely, it's layout_width causing the problem. Without it gtalk terminates immediately when executed, giving a runtime exception saying layout_width attribute is missing in the logcat. As you said, it's weird because it's specified in the framework file. Regarding the auto scroll issue, it...

    Post [APP][NST][NSTG][1.2.x]NTGAppsAttack - Google Apps Installer Addon For NookManager

    For those suffering Google Talk not working, the cause was a malformed layout file (avatar_no_presence.xml) having no layout_width/height attributes. I apktooled the Talk.apk app and added them with "wrap_content" values, rebuilt, signed and then uploaded to the Nook and made sure it sort of...

    For those only with Windows, download Gparted LiveCD iso image and use virtualbox to boot from it. It still worked well. Edit: I successfully repartitioned two of my Nook Simple Touch using the method above + virtualbox + Gparted LiveCD iso. Surprisingly, the size of partitions in my two NST...

    Post cifs/samba client?

    ES File Explorer did work. Thank you. I'm wondering if it's possible to mount a share under "/sdcard" using ES File Explorer. (for example, like mounting \\nas/data onto /sdcard/data) I ran adb shell and looked for the mounted directory, but cannot find one. Maybe ES File Explorer handles cifs...

    So, apps requiring android 2.2 runs on NST? That's amazing! The problem is I cannot read and understand the descriptions in zerolab.net. Is there any instruction available in English?

    Thread cifs/samba client?

    Is there a simple app or script to mount a cifs/samba share for NST? What I'm thinking is to mount a share onto something like /sdcard/share so that ebooks in the share can be read on my NST. I tried a few popular apps, but they don't seem to work. Maybe I have to obtain cifs.ko first from...

    I'll be anticipating it! Thank you. BTW, does your dictionary app support multiple dictionaries? I found offline Wikipedia or the one from WordNet could be quite good addition to the stock one.

    Thread FW 1.2.1 Built-in Reader - unnecessary margin between paragraph

    1.2.1 update introduced forced margin (about one line) between paragraphs in the reader app. I found it quite annoying because it wastes screen estate too much. Putting "p {margin-bottom:0em;}" in the css file seems to get rid of the forced margin, but doing it for every epub file doesn't look...

    Can your dictionary be configured to use the definitions from the built-in dictionary? I need a good English-English dictionary, and the free ones I can get don't seem to be as good as the built-in one.

    Any chance the stock Reader can be patched up so that the built-in dictionary can be brought up without highlighting a word? Firmware 1.2.1 gave the built-in dictionary a big improvement both visually and functionally, and I hope to find a way to use it without first selecting a word in a book...

    Post Alternate Library App?

    I tried your library app replacement, and I found it much cleaner and simpler to use than the stock one. I guess you may find my input somehow useful. 1. It would be nice if the number of lines on a page can be configurable. 2. It may look nicer if author name can be aligned to the right side...
