Database Develop

latest CMstats...many nook cm users!

Check this out...full of info on cm and our encore..

Originally on android central....

I have to admit this is pretty cool information. I think this is important to get app devs to realize that if they target the nook color, they could look at well over 100k in downloads for a specific issue. I would really like to get screebl on this device since it helps with power management to some degree. I also don't like the screen going dim while I am still and reading something important.

Wait...what?
First, that list shows 13,337 CM7 installs for the NC ("encore" in CM dev terms).
Second, the way app devs would be most likely to "target the nook color" would be porting to B&N's proprietary market.

Be nice if didn't have to screw up these stats in order to use Netflix.

Ahh, I didn't bother scrolling down. I thought the top number was encore specific. It's a lot less.

Those numbers should be a good wakeup call for the people who think that the Android hacking community is large and powerful. There are over 130 million Android devices out there and the largest, most popular distribution has just 500k downloads? Always good to keep perspective.

There are a few post in here I don't understand as they aren't in any form of English I am familiar with...
I always opt out and delete cmstats, I'm very picky about what gets to eat up my precious RAM.
The power users are always the minority, but we are a very important group of consumers, the power users have influence over their non-techie friends. Power users can have a very loud voice when we want be heard..

Where the NC is concerned, I think the dev community (including adopters) has been instrumental in keeping the device on the radar for tech writers, bloggers, youtubers and forums, thereby building Nook buzz and brand recognition. B&N would not have been able to take the position they have in the market without us.

I tend to agree. Tech writers and bloggers are far more technically competent than the average consumer and so are attracted to this sort of thing and write about it. There is a spillover effect for Barnes and Noble. Consumers read the stories and the thing that most of them take away from it is that the Nook Color is a cool iPad alternative. 98% of the people who go out and buy an NC won't even root it, let alone install CM7. So the end result is B&N builds up its internal community of users, consumers get a decent pseudo-Android tablet at a very nice price, and the rest of us (the 2% who do a total conversion) get to hack it into the best price/performance 100% Android tablet on the market.
Everybody wins.

Rogue Tools missing from Market?

Anyone else notice that the Rogue Tools app has been missing from the Android Market?
Apparently a lot of the apps built for 2.2 are disappearing as well.
I only ever used RT for underclocking for stability reasons, now that it's not available on the Market, I have to stick with whatever I wrote the kernel as.

Do not be surprised. Planned Obsolescence of products on each step of live. Now will be time for android 4, galaxy s3 and similar so They must do something to rid of from shops old "new" phones with 2.3 on board

I can understand oscelesence,MS did the same thing with older versions of Windows, but so soon and with so many active devices out there running 2.2 or older is beyond me, unless it's a marketing ploy by device makers to make us buy new devices.
I'm not sure if RT was a device-specific app for Vogue/Polaris/Kaiser users, but if it was I can see why it was removed.

Since it is leap year, I have made the leap forward to a Nexus One (yeah, cutting edge, right?) When I first logged in, it downloaded all of the apps I had used from the market, including RT. But today when I checked after seeing this thread, it was gone.
RT is specific to Kaiser, Vogue, Polaris ROMs since it uses kernel configuration added originally by DZO. We had a developer many months ago who was trying to put in a more standard cpu frequency support, but he must have also moved to a new phone. Anyway, I'm sure I have a copy of the apk somewhere. I don't see it readily at hand, but will upload a link when I find it.
The method used by RogueTools to overclock is basically:
echo "450" > /sys/module/clock_7x00/parameters/a11
The kernel reads this when it wakes up from sleep.

Here you are. I found copy on my disk.

I appreciate it Marek...
I did find a few copies among the myriad of builds I have on hand, but after some extensive testing I feel 500MHz is a good medium between stability and speed.
n2, good to see you made the leap...
I have a friend here wanting to sell me a Galaxy S for 50 bucks. Methinks I have a good friend...lol.

When will Google Tv be loved?

This is just a topic open for debate and discussion based on my limited knowledge and consumeristic, impatient, and biased views.
Perhaps like many of you when I heard about Google TV I dropped a load. Holy $&!# I thought. My android phone is rooted and running custom ROMS and doing things the manufacturer and carrier never allowed or implemented. So I went out and bought a NSX46GT1 and havent looked back since. I have never been able to compare my Sony say LG's version or Apple TV but I feel its safe to say that Google TV is the future. Its kind of "gimmicky" right now but Im confident it will only grow because of Androids almost limitless potential. There has been some back and forth at least from big manufacturers about producing a set top box or all in one TV. However at least a handful of kickstarters and smaller companies are putting Google TV and Android on USB sticks or other peripherals. Amazing in my opinion and I cant wait for it to blow up for the simple reason of when I can finally modify and play with as I have been accustomed to with my phone and tablet. As of right now I am disappointed with the growth of development, at no fault to the community itself. Firstly Sony (maybe others) have updated their TV's to remove root exploits. Secondly saturation in the market is very low. The less people and devs are exposed to it the less of community will build around it. Thirdly, and this may be a sticky point, fragmentation. The variety of set top boxes and TV's, ect. can effect development. Now I have side loaded a number of Apps, Launchers, File Browsers, Live Wallpapers, ect. and at least in my case much of it has been removed because it mostly doesn't play well. Again I only have experience with my TV so milage may vary. And also updates; I'm still running 3.2! Thats 2 versions behind. If I had to rethink my purchase then perhaps I would either wait or buy a set top box. When it gomes time to upgrade either your Google TV or TV set, you can do so seperatly with a set top box. Also Sony isn't the best company when it comes to unlocking their devices as has been seen with the PS3. Most of my complaints stem from impatients but that is because I know how great the potential can be. To end, again Im biased, not a developer, an Android Fan Boy, and clinically diagnosed with ADD! So what are your thoughts?

A man without a platform

Hi all, my name is Will and I am addicted to phones.
The seeds of that addiction were planted on this very site circa 2004 with the arrival of my shiny new SX66. A Seimans distributed version of the HTC Blueangel. It was a marvelous device which still works today. There were many devices to follow. Wizards, Touch Pros and HD2s among many devices in between. On this site I learned to keep the devices fresh with the cutting edge software of the day. I started to get into mods like Co0kies Home Tab and ROM’s like the venerable Energy Rom. Then I set up a kitchen and started tweaking my own roms to be exactly what I wanted. All of the latest OS features, my preferred mods and other files to streamline the setup. This is a progression that I am sure is familiar to many on this forum. Man those were the days.
Whether I was using a ROM I cooked up myself or one of the more polished ones offered by others there is always a little instability or a feature that doesn’t quite work. Eventually you get into a cycle of Flash-Fix-Flash. It’s great fun because there’s always one more tweak or a new mod to try. However you get to a point where the frequent unavailability or unreliability of your device becomes a hindrance, especially if you rely on your device to make a living. You start to justify why you need to do this next build or try this other ROM to solve all of your problem and then everything will be ok. I promise...
One morning I looked up from a keyboard to a disturbing buzzing sound echoing through the house. It was my alarm clock. At that moment I realized that I had spent the entire night doing flash-fix-flash trying to solve a particularly annoying but admittedly minor issue. Still wearing the clothes I’d worn to work the day before I fired up the coffee pot and headed for a shower. Clearly something needed to change.
I had been watching a new phone by HTC running a different OS. It had a fresh look and a quirky chin. I was ready to take the plunge but there were carrier issues and a wife growing weary of my constant phone upgrades. So I waited. Eventually I succumb to the pull of the new and tried a flurry of phones, some android and one fruity one. My biggest accomplishment with the fruit phone was not breaking it before it was returned. Most frustrating week of my life.
Anyway I eventually moved to Android and everything was grand. Shiny new hardware, a fresh OS and no more ROM of the week. Soon though my hardware was no longer shiny and the OS was no longer fresh. Not unexpectedly the community on XDA had grown rapidly and like phones before this site enabled me to run newer software on my phone than the OEM or my carrier dared to allow. Then came mods, and ROMS and kitchens and before I knew it I was back to Flash-Fix-Flash. Things would be better this time though. I knew it would be. I willed it to be. Between work and family who had time to learn all of those new technologies and techniques anyway.
I’d come full circle.
About that time the second wave of hardware for the newly born Windows Phone started to become available. It turned out to be a good match. A unique and fluid user experience, features that you still can’t find on other platforms and no Flash-Fix-Flash. I was content for a long time to use a WP device as my daily driver and just tinker on Android when the itch was too much to bear.
Unfortunately this couldn’t last. MS has systematically removed any features that are unique or useful and their latest effort WP10 is particularly disheartening as it removes the last of the unique features and offers little more than the WP launcher and a fairly polished experience in return. I relegated my WP device to work and started carrying an Android device as a personal phone to start catching up on where the community had progressed to. This was equally disheartening as Android is just as disjointed a user experience as it has been for years. Yes there are great things about Android. There are great things about windows too. If I could get the polished user experience of WP with the flexibility and app playground of Android on descent hardware I’d be a content man. Sadly it’s not an option. I can have polish or flexibility but apparently not both.
For the first time in over a decade I find myself without a shining star in the mobile arena. No piece of hardware or software that just grabs me as a gotta have device. I look at the variety of phones currently sitting on my desk and they all have something the other is missing. This isn’t a flagship phone dilemma or a desire for some obscure hardware or software feature. I accept tradeoffs, this is about the whole experience. There’s no vision for how a phone achieves its potential, at least none obviously trying to reach that potential. Android continues to improve behind the scenes but there’s nothing new or exciting coming to the OS much less anything addressing its long time flaws. What good are a great hardware selection and more fart apps than you can shake a stick at if the underlying UX is just blah? In contrast Microsoft is trying to become irrelevant by moving to be as bland and vanilla as possible while not addressing its main shortcomings such as app development and hardware selection.
I’m not trying to fire up any trolls or other heated discussions. I’m just a man on a journey wondering whether something fun is around the corner. It appears not.

General ABOUT ALL THE PROBLEM YOU HAD/HAVE

Im so tired to read all the comment about bad things about this phone , i mean i personally doesnt habe the perfect phone , i came with some problems too but then i realize u will NEVER find this phone good enough when you only looking for it mistakes . Dude u should be happy own this phone , since the others can only dream for it . No phone is perfect ? You think iphone is better ? Or any other brand ? Well please use the others , and im sure you will do the same , you will found that all phones have their own problem , probably to make the phone perfect for you , you just have to accept what it is and be happy with it . Or buy a new phone that you consider better , and lets see did u complain too or no .
imo phone will get better in updates

As with everything else from phones to cars you'll only find people posting about the faults, you never get people posting about the good things. That's fine though.

Get better with updates?
You're in for some surprises.
Like a bad gf updates just keep giving

Well, tbh there's no such thing as perfect in this universe. Everything has flaws, flaws that make it unique.
Considering a phone, i believe, mobile companies tend to provide us with best of their hardware, however they do still lack behind when it comes to software. It may be appealing but it always lack certain features, tweaks, mods.
That is where custom roms comes in place.
We have Resurrection Remix - tweaking at it's extreme.
We have Lineage OS - stability at it's extreme.
For me, my perfect phone would be the flagship phone with a custom rom. What else you want huh? Consider Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G with Ressurection Remix, regardless of the fact that it has such a huge name XD.

I have bad delayed notification problems with my S21 Ultra.

Try disabling -all- power management... destroyer of worlds
Developer options>standby apps, all buckets should show as active otherwise power management is active.
Be careful what apps you limit background data to and -don't- allow background battery usage as well.
It's most likely a settings misconfiguration... play with it.

I share the same feelings with this post. I think that moaning without really looking for any solution is useless.

Yea for sure... Only sadly the cameras wouldn't function at their max potential... Which kinda makes the mentioned roms unnecessary. :/

Yea. You are right. They should import the stock camera apps in those roms for that to work.

Keep playing with it. Took me close to a year to fully sort out my Note 10+.
It runs extremely well now.

I have the perfect smartphone!
Does it have an SD card slot?
Yes!
Is it micro-SD format?
Yes
Does it support up to 1TB of SD memory?
Yes!
Does it support UFS 3.1?
Yes!
Is the SD slot on the bottom of the phone?
Yes! ... ?
Can the SD card be inserted face down?
No...? Why?
Doesn't sound perfect to me. My last phone before my last phone allowed you to insert the SD card upside down!
It's not the phones or the manufacturers, it's us!

Hi guys! I'm a new user of s21 Ultra. My last Android phone was LG G2.
I am using the Snapdragon version. The stock camera, the image it produce has too much contrast and doesn't seem natural to me. I am a hobbyist photographer so I could say what is good or what. And it isn't for me.
My version is up to date. All software update installed. Am i missing something here or it is what it is?

Check your display settings>screen mode.
Not sure what your options are but the "natural" setting produces truer rendering.
The vivid mode looks way oversaturated.
You may have more options in Developer options but probably not.

Hello, thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, i am only using the "Natural" option. There is just too much noise on the image even though there is enough light not to force the phone to use high ISO.

Try resetting camera data and clearing system cache.
Any case or cover that could be interfering?
Otherwise it may be a firmware or hardware issue.

SOLUTION TO DELAYED-NOTIFICATIONS:
Enable USB debugging on the phone.
You just unzip the file provided here in your PC: https://www.xda-developers.com/install-adb-windows-macos-linux/
Navigate to it via terminal.
Then, after you connect the phone to your PC, run:
./adb devices
./adb shell dumpsys deviceidle disable
That'll fix it for sure.
I simply cannot recommend Android to my normie friends and family.
Let me restate this: It is not our job to fix Google's bugs.
This is a US-centric view.
If you can't tell: I am a bit aggravated right now.
I could not get my GMail, GCal, and other notifications to come through properly on Pixel 5's Android 11 OR S21 Ultra's Android 11.
This has apparently been an issue that many an Android user suffers through silently -- and, some don't even know that this is happening to them. I guess they're embarrassed to publicly state that their mobile OS is subpar.
When you get an e-mail or if a calendar event reminder is coming up, and even if your phone's screen is OFF/locked: you should get an *instant* notification. No delay whatsoever.
Well, if my screen was off/locked, I wouldn't get these notifications or it would take 10+ minutes to show. But, once I unlocked my phone: boom, notifications. And, sometimes even if my screen wasn't locked, there would be a serious delay or no notification.
After spending loads of time trying to fix this problem, me and my friend finally stumbled upon a solution: ./adb shell dumpsys deviceidle disable
A reboot eliminates this setting modification, by the way.
Do not tell me that instant e-mail notifications are not necessary. Many of us work jobs that require them to be instant.
No end user should ever have to go through this. iPhone users certainly don't go through this.
If Google doesn't care about Android users, then, why should I, as an Android user, care about Android too? Just switch to iPhone, I guess.
Google pays Apple $10bn+ every year and makes better software for iOS than it does for Android.
Just look at the damn widgets that iOS users get.
So, $10bn/year plus the cost of the software developed to cater to iOS users.
This makes Google a simp cuck to Apple, nothing else.
Would Apple ever return this favor? No.
Therefore, Google management is a simp cucked by Apple, nothing more.
We are fools to be using this OS.
If Google is willing to subsidize my iOS software updates and experience to the tune of billions of dollars every single year -- then, why not just switch?
Clearly, my experience has shown me that Android can be cheaper -- if I don't value my time.
Statistic after statistic bears it out: iPhone users are wealthier.
I am tired of being an Android luser -- why should I take on such abuse and neglect by the main author of my mobile OS?
Before you start patronizing me: YES, I tried every other bloody trick in the book to fix this issue.
No end user should ever have to go through this! No end user should have to run adb commands to enable basic functionality.
There are some basic things that modern smartphones should just be able to do: instant notifications, 3rd party camera support, functioning RCS or some other form of E2EE messaging built-in, reliable local backups, a nationwide network of repair facilities, etc.
Android fails on all of these.
iPhone ordered. Glad to leave this Android ghetto behind.
Hey Google, if you have some self-respect: then, instead of paying Apple $10bn an year and doing iOS development, how about you actually work on some basic Android functionality instead?

Wish you all the best, and a happy life with your new iPhone. Life is short and there's no point putting up with what you hate.
I can see you're really upset about a lot of stuff on Android. You do make some very valid points about what's broken in Android. And I guess any of those can trigger a person ebough to make them switch to iOS. But I think it also has something to do with the user's requirement and not the OS alone. If there was just one "best" OS, nobody would spend more than a thousand dollars on an alternative. It's good to have a choice, and in your case, I'm glad you've exercised that in favor of what you think with add more value to your life.
I've had both iPhones and Android phones for years and both of them offer 90% of the same functions that you'd expect from a good smartphone. The remaining 10% is where you have to make a choice. There are many things to choose from: stability vs experimental features, customisation vs familiarity, update cycle, longevity, resale value, tinker-ability (I know that's not a word ), app support (there are some apps that only support one or the other OS), and the list goes on.
My childhood friend and me bought matching MacBook Pros when we jumped ship into the Apple ecosystem with an iPhone and an iPad. We were "sick" of android, and wanted a taste of the premium life that the fruit promised to offer. Five years on, he still uses all his Apple gadgets and has added a homepod, an apple watch and airpods to his growing apple inventory, whilst upgrading the the latest idevices every two years. Me on the other hand, went from MacOS to a bootcamped Windows installation after a year of purchase and don't even boot into MacOS unless I have to use Final Cut Pro. My workflow goes best with Windows, no matter how good MacOS may be. On the other hand, his doesn't - he's completely iin love with the Apple way, and that's fine.
Same with iOS. I kept the iPhone for 2 years before trading it in for a OnePlus because I hated being told that there was a "correct" way of doing something and only that way was allowed. I couldn't live with an OS that denied me access to my device's filesystem! That, in my opinion is a basic requirement - but this may not be the case for everyone. I like a robust notification system and I've found the Android implementation head and shoulders above what Apple offers. I like third party app stores and the ability to sideload apps on my phone. I can't get that on iOS. And the best part - if I don't like something on Android, it's possible I can fix it with some workaround (like the one you posted). I agree with you that no end user should have to do that, but regardless, it can be done if you want to. No such possibility exists on the other side of the fence. So I chose to live with the shortcomings of Android as opposed to the shortcomings of iOS - simply becasuse the former were more acceptable to me than the latter, not because Android is better or worse that iOS. It just offers me what "I" want in a mobile operating system.
It may be the opposite in the next person's case - someone who values the other side of the equation more, like yourself. That's why it's good to have a choice.
But i sincerely believe that it's not so bad on the Android side of things. It is a very versatile and stable operating system offering a lot of flexibility and customisability on par with a full fleged desktop class operating system. In the end, it boils down to a blend of the OS and the user, not either one in isolation.
I wish you the best with your new device. They are arguably beautiful pieces of technology. Have fun!
Hope to see you back on XDA in the future.
