considering nc, waiting on ces to see what is released in 7" formats...
looking for a ebook reader first, tablet second. have a mot droid, so was figuring android reader might be better than kindle.
Was wondering if anyone is using the nc with the kindle app, and if so, how it compared to using the kindle itself?
Also, is there a sticky thread of how to simply root the nc? In my brief search I found a thread 136 pages long, I was hoping there would be a simple 5 or 10 step process thread? thanks.
Don't see why you'd want to use the kindle app but I dont see why it wouldn't work...
http://nookdevs.com/NookColor_Rooting
There's also a sticky in the apps development section for nook color on this forum that has everything you need to know about rooting.
I'm using the Kindle app on my rooted NC. I'm doing so to avoid the possible reboot/reset issues when accessing the BN store from a rooted device.
However, I have never used a Kindle, so I can't compare the app to that device. The app is very fluid and readable, and I have no problems using it. I'm taking a long trip in a few weeks and will really get a chance to test it then.
The auto-nooter thread is long, but the process is nicely summarized in the first post. The one "gotcha" that tripped me up was in step 12 where you log in to YouTube. You *must* add "@gmail.com" at the end of your login id. Don't just use your base GMail or YouTube id (as I did), or you may have to repeat the whole process. The device will be rooted but Market won't work if you miss this key point (which is not in the first post, but it does show up farther down the thread).
So, don't be put off by the long thread. The thread got bloated somewhat with many of the same questions being asked & answered over & over.
I am using the Kindle app - don't know how it compares to a Kindle, 'cause I've never had one I used the Kindle app on my HD2 and Blackberry.
It seems comparable to the Nook app - read a book, turn pages, bookmark, press on a word to highlight or to look up, change font sizes, etc. etc.
As for rooting the Nook, just read the first post here. Follow directions. It's really a simple, step-by-step process.
The only snafu I had was trying to use winimage. Wouldn't work for me. Another kind soul pointed me to to the freeware version: https://launchpad.net/win32-image-writer/+download. This is the one that finally worked.
Otherwise, there were no hiccups trying to root.
Read the instructions. Read them again. Follow each step explicity. Worked for me and plenty of others here.
I use it exclusively and love it. I also have a kindle II that I have used for the past year.
There is no comparison, the NC running Kindle is much better IMO. I am holding my final opinion until I see how the battery life works out with daily use. So far so good.

Works fine for free books added directly with .mobi files but I can't get it to open purchased books sent from my Amazon account and that I was reading on my iPad. They show up ok in the list but it says it can't open them and they need to be removed and redownloaded...that doesn't help. Not sure what's up with that?
I have the Kindle app installed and it does work but I can not access the Amazon store through it. No matter what I try, it always gives me an error page when attempting to access Amazon's purchase/download portal. Side-loaded books work fine though.

Looks as the same problem I am having then, did you try sending the book from the Amazon Kindle website too? Wonder if you can take the book form an iPad and sideload it? DRM might be a problem.

OK. this sounds like a big problem. This is what I want to use the NC for. I should be able to purchase kindle books, and I should be able to read them on my pc, my droid, and my NC, especially my NC. Are you saying that this won't work, that you can't purchase books and read them on the NC?
Using the Kindle App and it works fine
First to the question why use the Kindle app on the Nook Color (other than the undeniable pleasure of being able to say I use both on the same device)--well, lots of ebooks are available from Amazon that aren't available anywhere else. It's true that I was unable to purchase a book directly from Amazon on my nook, but I did so on my Android phone and then synced the nook to my Amazon account, and it downloaded flawlessly. (Now if I could only get the Kindle book onto my nook's homescreen. That would be a real ---- you to B&N!)

Contrary to drwohl's experience, I was unable to get the Kindle app on my NC to sync with my Amazon account. I always get an error when I fire it up that it was unable to sync. My login info is correct, so I'm not sure what the issue is. Side-note, the Kindle store and sync both work on my Epic 4g *shrug*
I've only been able to use the Kindle app to read side-loaded content so far.
I've rooted the NC and love it, and use the Kindle app exclusively. You can't buy the books directly using the Kindle Store, but you just need to use the browser and buy the book there and it'll download it! You need to go to the Kindle app and go to Archived Items and Sync and they'll be there. You can then long press on the book and move it to Downloaded Books. Works great!!! Lovin' it.

Yes haven't been able to send a book successfully to my NC from the Amazon Kindle website so far, get an "can't read book error, remove and download", tried that, it didn't help. Not sure why, possibly a DRM issue.

Ok. just to make sure i understand this before i drop $250, if I buy my book via the amazon website rather than the kindle app, it will work? Get the book say when I am on my computer. Then on NC, go into kindle app, look in archived items, and do a sync, then I can read on NC?
To test this, I just downloaded a sample from Amazon's site, using Opera Mobile on my NOOKcolor, and it was sent to the Kindle app on my nook with no problems. Though it was only a sample, I can't see it being any different with a purchased book.
I had previously synced books I had previously purchased onto the nook without any problems.
Has anyone tested this with Dolphin HD, xscope, or other browsers?
So it looks like we can still purchase/sync books all on the device - just use the browser.
Got it to work for sample books but not for purchased books, see error message above.

Rename the files to anything else (I put .bak on the end).
One of the big things I REALLY need to be able to convert to using Android and my G-Tablet as a complete replacement on the road is an Image Editor that supports layers (filters as well would also be nice). I know there are a couple out there for the Chrome Web OS, so I would assume there has to be something at least as good for the Android? Or is there a way to run Chrome Apps under Android (or in one of the Android browsers)?
TIA!
I know that there's a Photoshop Express for Android but I'm not sure if it supports layers.
However, the Canvas App (in this thread) from the Adam port does support layers. I haven't had much time to play around with it so I'm not sure how 'robust' an app it is but you might want to check it out.
Photoshop Express for Android unfortunately doesn't have layers. Maybe in the future
Thanks for the Canvas link. Going to give that, and a web-based offering called Splashup a try tonight.

Have you tried Picsay Pro? It's a paid app but well worth it. Does layers.
I'm finding that many of these apps do "layers", but they don't do what "I" need from layers. For the sorts of things I do, I copy part of another picture, and then "Paste as New Layer". Both Canvas and PicSay support layers, but only for doing artwork in the program on the layer, which isn't a "true" layer where you could use a layer to try and add a color correction, and then an effect, and blow one or the other of those away by just dropping the layer.
Haven't been able to get to an APK for the Autodesk product. Evidently the "Market Fix" for Vegan, et al doesn't fix the entire market (I also can't seem to find Jet Car Stunts, but that's another thread).
The online editors are Flash based, but usually once you start to get into any heavy lifting they crash. I am going to take a look at Aviary since I think they have an HTML 5 based version.
FWIW...

Pointers to the thread that worked for you would be appreciated. I've tried the normal with stopping the market, clearing the cache, stopping the framework, rebooting - and while that shows more of the market, it doesn't show all of it.
Yes, I am looking for recommendations, but it's hard to say if a recommendation will actually work without trying it. I am not trying to avoid paying for anything, but I can't pay for it if the market won't let me DL it
Seriously, if someone can help me setup my market so I can see it, I will be more than happy to pay for the product.
In fact, I'm kind of surprised that more application providers don't offer an option to order and DL direct for just such circumstances. Does Autodesk really care if Google gets their cut?

I used the build.prop documented around page 133 of the VEGAN-TAB thread.
You'd want to get it through the store so you can get upgrades anyway
Anyone try this? The full version launched today looks awesome! I got the APK but I am still waiting for my gtab, installing on phone now =D
For wat its worth, I installed it on my Incredible and pretty much ruined my phone. All I got was a black screen and I had accidentally clicked the box saying "Use SPB3D everytime" so I couldn't get around it. Luckily I had a nandroid backup...
Tried on my GTAB even though the page on the Android market says tablets are not supported..
And yeah.. no go..
It also didn't work with my Nexus One.
Bummer I was waiting for this to come out.
=o(
Edit: See post #6
no go for me as well...
I used SPB aoftware previously, and loved their UI. As far as this new 3D launcher, SPB noted that they do not support tablet platform.
It Does Work on the GTAB (sorta)
This is a demo video of SPB Shell 3D Beta
This is a modified fixed version for incompatible devices
I HAVE TO STRESS THIS NOW!, I DO NOT CONDONE SOFTWARE PIRACY!
I bought the paid version for my N1 and it didn't work at first but my 15 mins expired so I wound up keeping it. I flashed CM7RC4 and tried it again and it worked so I'm happy about that.
But the curiousity was killing me so I had to try it out on the GTAB
Sorry about the wobbly video, I used my N1 to record.
The launcher does have its drawbacks:
I have yet to explore the launcher completely so there may be more drawbacks I haven't discovered yet but it does not support live wallpaper and it does support auto rotate while in desktop mode
So there you have it.. It does work on the GTAB.. sorta!

After getting the apk file on my device.
I closed all data connections (Wi-Fi, 3G, 2G, EDGE) all outside internet connections.
Installed the apk. After installation was done I pressed the home key.
A dialog window popped up asking which launcher I wanted to use.
I chose SPB.
The software proceeded to load.
A dialog window popped saying the software was not activated and would I like to activate it now?. I chose Yes.
Since there was no connection to the internet activation skipped an it proceeded to finish loading the software.
A dialog window popped up saying my device was not supported.
I pressed ok and it closed ( it went back to ADW-EX )
I powered down completely, then started my device.
Upon completion of startup I slid the unlock key and a dialog window popped asking what launcher I wanted to use. I chose SPB.
With all data connections still closed the activation window popped up again.
I chose yes, the software loaded and another dialog window popped saying my device was unsupported.
I waited a few minutes before pressing the OK box (around five minutes)so the software can continue to load in the background.
I checked the OK box and Bingo.. my desktop had SPB loaded and working,
the process is tedious I know..
Just to point out I take NO CREDIT for this. I found the fixed apk floating around the web with instructions on how to install and decided to give it a try.
And again I need to stress this out.. I DO NOT CONDONE SOFTWARE PIRACY!
I tried to find the site with the instructions but it was apparently pulled yesterday shortly after I got SPB working.
Works for my incredible.
Drawbacks
1. Non-rotating
2. Icons automatically move up. Meaning you can't place them anywhere.
3. No 4x4 weather unless you use the panel one.
4. Can't resize anything.
5. Other things I'm sure, but I'm at work so I had to make this post snappy.

I know, you'd think it'd be no problem, which is what I assumed. Perhaps support for the OMAP4 is coming via update?
That would be my guess. I think the D3 is the first with OMAP 4 in it, the Bionic is next so once a few devices have it and are selling Netflix will see a reason for it.
There is also multiple different netflix's out there, have you tried all of them?
Hi I tried netflix on cyanogenmod 7 and it worked fine, but when I try to do it in coredroid it said my phone was able. What sup with that.

Well if you can't wait just use a 30 day trial from playon.tv and get netflix that way.. I would imagine they will have the app by the end of this month or early next
Same here with the green crap. Audio actually does work, by the video decoding is busted. I used 3 or 4 different version of Netflix, some crashed my phone, others had the busted decoding.
It's compatible now, or so it says. Mine isn't working. It streams but everything is all green.

Yup same here. It will allow me to download and install from the market, but I get the green pixelated screen followed by a reboot.
Confirming, officially supported, and still officially broken.
The version you are downloaded is the 1.2.2 and we have to wait for the "official" 1.3 update. It seems Google is possibly being a little slow?
The 1.3 update just hit the android market and it now works for the D3... Although the colors are not as good as it looked on my old Droid Inc.
Maybe some tweaking can resolve the color issue...
Confirmed, updated version is working for D3 quite nicely.
Hi guys, I was wondering if the ROM of OUYA is already available online to be changed, and if it is not it can be moved by connecting the console to the PC? Or the console's USB port is not suitable for this purpose? And having already Ouya the ROOT else is already installed the Recovery? or you have install? And how can you get into Recovery? Ok maybe it's still a bit too early for these questions since it is still in the hands only of those who have contributed to the project on Kickstarter but if anyone was informed I'd like
I"m assuming you'll be able to use ADB and what not. Ouya said, the standard Ouya can be used to develop games, so it would seem reasonable all Ouya's can be connected to a PC, and I assume the USB port will be sufficient.
As for the rest, I think it's just a tad early to know with certainty. The only well know people to have the any units are those early dev kits, and some of hardware reviewers. I haven't heard or read, nor do I believe they would release the Ouya ROM. And based on what Ouya has stated, it looks like we're getting late beta firmware/rom since they want to add more features, improve performace, and other items based on developer and early backer feedback before the June launch in retailers.
I really would like to see ROM customization for the OUYA as I feel duped by the fact that it won't run my pre-purchased play store apps and games. There's got to be a way to have both. I want this thing to replace my PS3 as my entertainment center but I must have Google music working to do so. I also want to play my purchased games like NFS.

Ouya said the condole would be rootable and they would be including the instructions on how to do it. Now we just have to wait until someone receives theirs and see if this is true or not?
The OUYA is simple to root. I think any generic ICS root method would work. Google Glasses was rooted by Jay Freeman just by a little tweaking, and a generic. ICS root method. I'm picking up on and plan to help as much as possible.

It was rooted quickly because there wasn't any locks on it. One of the developers at Google even said it's hardly considered rooting because there were no barriers to break through.

Just be careful, because of the lack of entering fastboot/recovery during bootup, you can easily soft brick it. I've already heard of someone messing with the system and bricking. Plus you can't really build much of an custom rom without kernel source, I wouldn't seeing an better stock but won't change much for right now.

Thanks for the concern Paulenski, not jumping into anything without looking ahead. I'm not talking about Cyanogenmod or anything as far as custom ROM's go. I just want to put together a flashable zip that will install working gapps, su, busybox, an alternate launcher, etc. A "start here" package. Not that it could be flashed yet, but I've contacted Koush and Teamwin about porting a custom recovery.

Fair enough. Ammend that statement to say "It'll run most sideloaded apps, provided no additonal downloads/framework is required." I hadn't actually started playing with the console when I said that.
However, if you have an android phone you might be able to install it on there, download the extra data, and copy those files/folders over to the ouya. Might be worth a shot.

Fair enough. Ammend that statement to say "It'll run most sideloaded apps, provided no additonal downloads/framework is required." I hadn't actually started playing with the console when I said that.

MIGHT work...maybe. It would be easier if someone could get gapps running. That's pretty high up there on my OUYA wishlist

Oh I am so excited for some good customs ROM's. I am also not looking for CWM for a main ROM in general, but a amazingly beefed up Ouya layout, as its not as well as it should be visually and organized. And I know MANY will be using XBMC as a media center, I feel that should be a big part of the customs ROMs. I am loving mine so much already running the android version of XBMC. So excited for the future!!

Works for a handful of games, GTA3 is the biggest. Does not work for most I've tried, including gameloft games and Carmageddon.
Unfortunately I did not keep notes when I began trying sideloading apps. I do know that some backups from Android Tuner worked when those from Titanium Backup did not. I also used ES file explorer for some backups as well.

By did not work. I mean that they won't run. Some actually return an error relating to additional data files.
I don't have another BT game pad and my Logitech wingman USB does not work at all.
