Well not 'here' but available and it's pretty freaking sweet for our I777's.
Had a hassle getting it to install, it didn't like my kernel or other rom so I reverted back to stock and reworked it all in.
First few boots were a little rough but it smoothed out and is running really well.
Only...
Couldn't resist the urge anymore so I ran a backup and put the CM9 nightly on my Nook late last night.
Install as always was a breeze. Boot time was horrific the first time. I thought I was in a bootloop for a while since it stop moving for a bit, start it's animated boot screen, stop/start...
Ok new to the captivate, came from a mesmerize.
Running CM7.1.0
android version 2.3.7
kernel 2.6.35.13 glitch 13.1
Wifi was working perfect yesterday. Today I put in my sim card that arrived in the mail(straight talk) now when I try and turn on WIFI underneath the WIFI on the page says...
Been on US Cellular since May of 1998. With straight talk just changing policy and allowing a port over of phones I went out and picked up a used Captivate.
It's a similar phone to Mesmerize(galaxy s) except for the 16gb of internal vs my 2gb on my current phone.
I've started doing some...
took a few movies that i converted and put on my Nook since I had to fly over the weekend.
Movies encoded fine, play fine but the sound is too low(especially on an airplane to hear).
When in a hotel room I can watch Netflix just fine with the earbuds and hear everything.
Not sure if has...
Rooted the phone last friday night. Had to go back to Froyo than install a rooted version of Gingerbread.
only tried 1 ROM so far but it's one that removed a bunch of the crapware from the US Cell build. Things like City ID and Allshare are now gone.
It didn't make a huge difference is...
ok. turned on airplane mode accidentally one day. Now everytime I reboot the nook it leaves wifi off by default even though airplane mode has been turned off.
How do I get it back to turning on wifi with every reboot?
i guess so but I dig my android phone. I do have a CM7 question though. Everytime I install a nightly it seems to lose something with google apps. It also makes it hard to restore settings such as my gmail account.
Any idea?
Ok over the weekend I wrote CM7 to the Nook. So far it's been great for everything i've tried. I even made it the full weekend without having to re-charge it battery. Wall charging takes forever though when it shut's down due to dead battery but that's another story.
So since I had some...
today Target has the Asus 16gb Transformer for $300+tax. Target:Asus Eee Pad Transformer 10.1" Android Tablet ...
if I hadn't just ROM'd a B&N Nook color I'd be jumping all over this deal.
Ok since I just ordered a NC as a refurb since the price was right for what I'd use a tablet as(mainly a toy) I know for certain I'm going to root it.
Is there a big benefit to doing a full rom install versus doing a side load from an SD card?
I plan on using it more as a tablet than anything...
Overstock.com has refurbed Nook colors shipped for $160. Still have the one year warranty like a new one.
Great price for what will be a decent rooted tablet when I get my paws on it.
I'm taking a road trip end of the month for a mini vacation with the son before he heads back to school.
My dedicated GPS is an older unit and the maps are out about 1.5 years. Not a big deal since roads do change but it's not like it's to the point where I'd get lost.
I've used the GPS...
