Nook Color….. Nootered
So I recently got the nook, mainly to use as a budget android tablet as it was only a matter of time it was going to be rooted or nootered. There have already been a few apps that came out that solves the problem with the nook only having one home button and the volume buttons. It is possible to remap the buttons, like the vol up and down to menu and back. But another way is to have an app overlay the the basic buttons on the screen when the home/n is pressed.
With this limitation solved the nook is an awesome android tablet. I have yet to read any books on it yet but I have been having too much fun making it do everything else.
For those that have a nook color I would highly recommend rooting your nook. It is really simple to achieve this, all you need to do is download 2 things, an image file and an image write.
You write the files to a microSD card and stick it in your nook and that is all about there is to do.
Once everything is finished all you need to do is format the microSD card in your nook or else your microSD card will have a bunch of weird partitions. Restore all the files you may have had on the microSD card and your done.
All the instructions can be found on xda-developers.com, as long as you follow the directions there should not be any problems.
Froyo(Android 2.2) on HTC Hero(CDMA)
So I dumped CyanogenMod6(CM6) for Nonsense aospMod and it works awesome, granted there isn't any flash support on the rom the speed of the rom is just fantastic. Being able to answer calls without the sense lag, angry birds plays with virtually no lag. Anyone looking for a good rom for their hero I would suggest the aospMod rom
Another rom??? What!!?!?!!
So yes I am on a new rom again!! But this time it is a little different this time it is my own rom. Yes... I am working on my own rom, this started as a personal rom for me and my girlfriend. Mainly for her so she has a stable rom that has all the parts working with no major problems. But as I was building it I started building it for me as well.
This is mainly till the AOSP rom CM6 is final, and to see if MMS will work for it on my carrier. If not I may just stick with my own rom. Currently it is a simple rom built mainly with Android Kitchen, but I have been starting to mod a few system apk files to get it working more to my liking. One is the no end call mod so you don't hang up with your cheek, this mod was originally made by JsChiSurf but when I flashed his apk to my phone my vm notification disappeared so I came to the conclusion that I would need to redo all the sprint rom mods I want specifically for non-sprint roms. But anyway its going to get exciting.... I will post more info later.
Switched roms again now on Drachdroid
Well I just switched to the Drachdroid rom since I wasn't using really much of anything that ZenExp offered since I grew tired of the sense UI. So far the only problem I am having with the Drachdroid rom is that I am losing my mobile network when the phone sleeps. Not sure why I have to put the phone in airplane mode and back to normal to make it work again. Just seems weird to me, I didn't have this problem on ZenExp so maybe it is some setting on Drachdroid that is causing it. Still trying to figure it out but haven't been able to do much yet.
Other then that problem the rom is great its quick and looks nice. Now I just need to make the battery last a little longer I might be killing it faster then normal since I keep trying to mess with it so much.
Whats going on….
