Has anyone tried TetherGPS to bring GPS functionality to the NookColor? I read about it on Engadget, but I can't post links yet.
I have not got my NookColor yet, so I can't try it out.
Just found out that this is already discussed in another thread.

Let's keep the discussion there.

will this work on 2.1? or do we have to wait till we port froyo?
I made a thread asking the same question and got only one awser saying that it was not possible here is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=688059
Yeah, it uses the 2.2 APIs that were just released. Without the APIs on the device, this would never work. You could probably find a way to get similar functionality through some good programming, but it would take a lot of work and you would get mixed results.

OK i'm new to the forums... anyways i was just wondering can someone can please give me a detailed instructions for rooting the captivate on 2.2 with froyo and install the lag fix? i'm receiving my phone tomorrow in the mail. i have both XP and vista. so basically any type of instructions would be fine, as long as there are not to complicated.
Thanks, BookBaG-Jeff
THEMES & APPS.
Your question regards neither. Please go to development section and read up on the many threads there. Instead of just asking a question, it is better to read. You will more than likely find the answer to everything you need.
Agreed Have a look HERE and then read, read, read, read, read,and read some more.
I deem this closed as a search would have brought you to your answers.
I bought a G-Tablet off Woot and it does not have the Android Market. It only has gMarket (Handango) after the OTA update. I have been searching and searching these threads but all I can find are Market fixes (to get full market working). I have even tried downloading some .apk files but they don't work.
Please help.

This thread describes how to install market.
Thanks! I thought I saw that once, but couldn't find it again. This site is so huge.
The recovery goes fine, but after the last reboot, there is just no android market app that I can find. I have done it several times now.
I know the recovery took because I have to re-update TnT software ui each time.
I guess I will have do do one of the ROMs if I want android market app.

Yes, this site is huge. I could see how new comers would have a problem navigating around.
I am currently working on a viewsonic gtab for dummies website. Hopefully, I'll have enough of it to launch this weekend. It will have step by step instructions on how to do... everything for dummies. No need to spend hours searching the forums for someone making a vague mention.
Anyway, this is just a message for all dummies like myself. Stay tuned for viewsonic g tablet for dummies.

That would be awesome! I want the android market and all the Google apps that go along with it. Let us know when you are able to set that up.
I posted this in the General forum & it was promptly closed & I was asked to search in this forum for an answer. Well, that didn't go so well as all I came up with was numerous posts of how to root my phone, which is exactly what I don't want to do. So, hopefully this will not be closed out as well.
I must admit that I tired of chasing AT&T & Samsung as to when the Gingerbread update would be available awhile back.
Then I saw an ad on TV that I'm pretty sure was for AT&T but another Android-based phone & they were hyping that the phone was equipped w/Android OS 4.0 so that it now rivaled the 'iCrap' phone.
Would someone please set me straight on which legit OS's have or are soon to be released () for the Cappy, or any new Samsung phone at that!
Thanks!
As far as Gingerbread for the Captivate well, Rogers released it for their i896 not to long ago, and so all we can do is hope for at&t to release it for us soon.
That's really all we know as far as the Captivate is concerned. This has been discussed over and over and that is why your previous thread was closed by the Forum Moderator.
As far as ICS...
Here ya go... http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...ream-sandwich-for-galaxy-s-and-tab-after-all/
As far as other Samsung phones, it would probably be better to find info on that through Google as opposed to here in the Captivate Forums.
I just googled it and found an entire page of articles in the past month or so with exactly what you're looking for. So so so much easier than making a post.

Thanks much for the link, which was quite heavily redacted )). Your point is well taken about just doing a Google search than posting here. Besides, I don't need someone telling me to go searching through the forum posts as my question has been asked many times before. I used to have a friend connected w/XDA that I could PM for scoops & ask questions like I posted here & he was always happy to help. Unfortunately, he's gone missing!

This is true.
Hi,
Thanks for all the devs, and also people who started to post nightlies..
I have started to use the Kang CM9 Nightly 20120116 for some time, and I am quite satisfied with it.
However, there are of course bugs/glitches, and I think there should be a thread about what is good/missing/whatever, and when to flash a newer nightly.
Problems I encounter are:
1- Wifi: After sleep, I have to turn Wifi off and then on so that the Nook will scan the wireless networks.
2- Android keyboard: I cannot use the Turkish characters.
3- Some apps are not working: Google Earth, skyscanner
4- Touchscreen lags more than CM7.
5- ADHOC wireless does not work; NC did not see the tether wireless from my phone. (The same phone I used with CM7)
There IS a thread to discuss the nighties. It's the 20-page long thread where the nightlies are posted, in the development subform.

Hi,
Well there are actually two nightlies, Kang & Samiam303. I do not know if they are same or has some minor differences. I also do not know if the differences matter at all.
Why I chose the Kang is only coincidence, and also I thought this thread was more a user thread, not a developer thread.
I for myself follow that thread too.
I'm on 0118 and screen feels great to me. wifi after sleep is fine. not going to try a different keyboard because i dont know if i will be able to get it back. google earth and skyscanner both crash due to a java problem. and my phone is dead so i can't test out the adhoc.
If you built your own kang then read through the dev forum and see if they talk about any of your problems. if you use the rom from Samiam303 then you need to post the info in his thread with details. there is no guarantee that any of the devs will see this post.
Hmm, interesting.. I somehow lost the ability to boot into recovery by using the power and N switch.
ROM Manager does the job though..
This thread should be closed

I didn't mean to imply that you're only allowed to talk about my nightlies -- but there are already plenty of threads for discussing CM9. There's the 174-page development thread, the 28 page thread I started for my builds, Eyeballer's "installing CM7/CM9" guide which has 63 pages of discussion, and a 29-page general ICS/CM9 user discussion thread. Starting yet another thread to discuss the nightlies is just going to make discussion of issues even harder for people to find/keep track of than it already is.

Hi,
That's OK. But when a thread goes lots of pages long, it is not easy to get the information you are seeking, especially when lots of things are happening quickly. Yesterdays info is already very old.
Besides, I think, some issues may be build specific, your nightlies, and eyeballers are different. Which means, if I ask about something about eyeballer's nightly I can not get an answer in the thread about your nightlies, etc. etc..
