name for our upgraded NCs? - Nook Color General

I started thinking that our NCs that have been upgraded with Froyo, CM7 or HC really need a new name:
"What's that you've got there?"
"Why, that's my NookColor that's been rooted and upgraded with Froyo and over-clocked to 1.1GHz"
will just cause most peoples eyes to glaze over.
A few obvious possibilities are NookPad, NookTab, NookSlab, NookSlate, NookyPad (although that sounds like something from a 70s "art" film ).
Suggestions?

"Encore". That is the code name that Barnes and Noble originally gave it, and the code name that CM gave it as well.

errr... I ll just throw my input in because I like the idea of a specialized name for our enhanced tablets, not so much that I stand by my suggestions ...
Although it would almost sound the same I like the idea of Newk Color because it says "new", fresh, and up to date, which is uniquely appropriate considering the Nook had honeycomb before anything else. Or maybe the Newk Encore, or just Nook Encore. I think Encore alone might not clearly reflect on the work of the modding community in the minds of most people. Just my 2 ¢

Speaking as a gay man myself, I don't think the iPad is necessarily any gayer than other tablets. I mean, sure, you can get Grindr for the iPad, but now it's available for Android too. And the Nook Color is pretty good at rendering rainbows, bright pink objects, sequins, tassles and pr0n.

[Q] Live Wallpapers for Cappy

Hey all, what live wallpapers do you like the best? I've been using earthrot and galactic core, but I was curious if there were any better looking ones not on the marketplace.
The Super Mario one is pretty popular. It shows Mario playing through random levels.
*Edit*
Oop didn't notice that you wrote not available in the market place. Hm.. I have no idea of any other ones then.
do you have a link or a qr for the mario one
it doesnt seem to come up in a market search for me
http://www.livewallpapers.org/mario-317/
There's a few other neat ones on that site as well.
Try the Panoplanet. I havent yet but have been looking at it for a min,
odd
mario and logcat wont come up in the market for me
even when i use the qr code
I host loaded nexus revamped. I like it cause I can change the colors for background and the dots.

U mad ?
LOL @ This thread.
The best application for setting wallpapers is Wallpaper Plus.
Wallpaper Set and Save also does the trick.
HTC Sense's Gallery Application is just as horrid as Gallery 3D.
Don't use either of them to set your wallpaper.
And if you really wanted to go back to iOS after running into that minor error you should because you certainly don't appreciate the choices you've been given. Unlike iOS Android doesn't come with the best applications out of the box. You're gonna have to get to know your phone and the system it's running. Android is extremely powerful and flexible. You can make Android anything you ever want. And you just made a thread about the bad banding Gallery gives and how you want back to iOS. It's .. amazing.

Does anyone know what theme is being used here... in specific regards to the notification bar/icons?
any app that can do this for the loockscreen?
This is due to surface dithering not being enabled I think. I'm trying to figure out how to turn it on on a ROM I'm building but no luck so far.

CM7 coming...

I know it's not a lot, but hey, I'll take what little news I can get...
https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_build/commit/ba34e7ecbaff949e4bd3a946ce92642ec4b0f742
Saw fattire's work on github yesterday. I know the CM team doesn't do anything half-ass so this should be a decent build.
I saw that commit this morning! Very excited.
Here is Kmobs tweet a few hours ago:
Nook color #cm7. Yes for the love of God yes. http://twitpic.com/40yxcu Great job Fattire and company.
phiremod's rom has me really close to buying an NC, but this would cause me to leave work early and grab one
I see dedicated back and menu buttons on the top. Yes. No search though. Can't wait. 8 )
Nook Color via Xda App
Looks like the NookColor might also be getting a name change to Encore. Its in the screen shot and also in the github commits.
Go look over in the Recovery EXT4 thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=959240, there's links to download it, but I haventy tried anything, as I'm at work, and dammit, my uSD reader is sitting on the counter @ home.

Swyped from a CM7 EVO using the Xda app
how do i actually install this?! :/ i'm on rooted 1.1 stock atm...
My Win7 machine stopped recognizing the NC, so I lost ADB access. Do I need a separate set of drivers, or should the hacked ones from here still work?
[Edit:] Nevermind. Somehow the PID of NC has changed from 002 to 003. Just had to change the relevant lines in android_winusb.inf of the driver installation package, and I'm back in business.

So much has changed here is the main menu
And when you create you're character you're given a nice description now too and older players will appreciate that you can name your character from the start.
Last is a screenshot of the new UI. I threw in the joystick because I like it but it isn't there by default.

Alot apparently I haven't played this one too much.
I like it so far, more refined then the first one. My biggest b!tch with it though is if your Xoom is wiped you lose all progress, with a game like this you think they would have some kind of cloud storage, also since you can buy in game points with real money, feels like a waste to invest so much time and have a woopsy moment and not be able to recover anything.
I love the online play with this though, seems a lot better than First Wave.

Invoking ideas for use of an old Nokia phone

Hey all,
I've an old Nokia 5130 express music phone, almost new condition.
But it went faulty due to simultaneous failure of some 2 or 3 ICs. The cost involved was too much, so it's kept unused since a long time.
Any ideas how out can be put to use, any ideas are welcome for example- Converting it into a webcam(is possible, with links)
Or
Screen used for some display of pics.
Please link to procedure too, if possible.
Keep your thoughts pouring
Nokias are indestructible right? Use it as a sledgehammer! That'll break that cinder block in your back yard!

Zombie head smasher would have been a great idea, but alas mine is an express music phone not the 3310.

You could use it as action camera, like sticking it onto the dashboard and wait for accident to happen and sh*t, then post it on YouTube. 500k likes for sure.
Well whatever you do don't drop it like I did with mine.
I use my old Nokia 5310 as an alarm clock since Android can't have an alarm go off when the phone is off....
