Is it compatible with Nook Touch Mod Manager?
Wysłane z mojego GT-I5700 za pomocą Tapatalk 2
domi.nos,
Yes, it does. In fact, it doesn't make any affect on NTMM since these mods touches a different jar files.
Is it incompatible with Google Market (e.g. does it bundle the TelephonyManager patches to get the market working)?
tried with 1.2.1 and 1.1.2, they both working good. thanks^^
I really like the reboot feature, but for me, the recovery feature is just too risky. For example, what if I want to reboot but accidentally hit Recovery instead? Boom, Nook is gone.
Is there an easy way to create an alternate version without recovery? And if so, would you make it for me?
EDIT - Just found a great workaround!
If you follow the instructions here for installing the ClockworkMod recovery on the NST/NSTG (not just booting from SD card), then hitting "Recovery" won't insta-wipe your data - instead, it will do what it should do, which is boot into ClockworkMod recovery!
Awesome! The only thing I think would make it more awesome is to add a screenshot button like on CM7. I currently use DroCap, but it would be nice to have something integrated into the system?

i wish i had known this a few months ago.. i wouldn't have trashed my nook
i couldn't even post a beware for others, as i didn't have enough post count here
so i put it up on my blog http://nixventure.blogspot.com/2014/07/mod-extended-power-menu.html
as i couldn't reply to this thread in the xda dev forum, i am posting this here and hoping this might be useful to the developer and/or any users.
as the developer says, i found additional buttons for "Reboot" and "Recovery". i wanted to test the "Recovery" button, hoping to end up in the recovery mode. but the recovery button rebooted my nook, wiped data, performed a factory reset, and restored my original rom instead - all with no warnings or confirmations! so, i have now ended up with a pristine nook, as purchased - all mods lost, including root, etc.
BEWARE!

Hey Thank you so much.
Its always good to have organic solutions such as this.
After the Lock Screen activation invoked organically
this app should give the same organic feel. I agree with yattaro on the screenshot option.
If that can be added then this utility will be complete.
Now that i have CWM recovery installed to my device, this seems safe to install.
Keep up the good work, cant describe how much value these little tiny things bring to the whole Nook experience.
PS: i can't find renate's temblast reader(i have only her Library app) on her list of uploads, Can somebody upload one for me. want to give it a try.
thanks,

Hi everyone, I've written a brand spanking new recovery with a Android application front end!
To install my ROM Manager and recovery, simply download ROM Manager from the Market!
ROM Manager:

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
ClockworkMod Recovery:
ClockworkMod Recovery is based off the eclair recovery image. Features include Nandroid backup, adb shell, advanced update.zip options (ignore asserts and signature checks), and file browser for choosing update.zips (you can now organize your stuff by directory).
1.6.0
Bug fixes.
File list now scrolls in recovery.
Added hooks for ROM Manager.
1.4.2
Initial public release.
For a manual installation of the recovery, you can download it from my website:
http://www.koushikdutta.com/2010/02/clockwork-recovery-image.html
it shall be noted that you need to press menu in order to see the menu (on my hero at least). looking into it now... thanks for the hint, just what i needed!
Nicely done, this is gonna make my dev work so much easier.
what kernel does it use?
and i have a feature request: wipe dalvik-cache
edit: and poweroff
wats the difference between
recovery-RA-hero-v1.5.3.1.img
and clockwork?
this is wonderful!
yayy!
up!
M
what is dalvik-cache
What is a rom ?
what is android?
couple of sugestions, when theres alot of files in the root of the SD card, you cant scroll, so anything that doesnt fit is cut off, might be good if you could add a next page option, or make it only list folders that contain zip files

seriously, google didnt return an answer
just did a google search for "what is dalvik-cache" and got loads of good answers.
http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=what+is+dalvik-cache&meta=
The best being this one http://dbhcreative.com/blog/?tag=dalvik-cache about half way down the search
"Dalvik-cache is like a storage bin for application data in the AndroidOS"
are you sure you searched
Edit: and just for fun

What is ROM - http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=What+is+ROM&btnG=Search&meta=&aq=f&oq=
this is why i need another phone. i ask some serious questions, then a newbie comes around the corner bullshitting the thread with questions that are answered on the first page. can't be too long until we have a flamewar here, and with any luck the thread is going to be closed. why would we want to have a great open recovery image without being dependant on a guy like amon_ra, who has moved on ages ago, let's spam this thread with moronic questions. thanks everyone.
I think the guy who asked the cache question really didn't know the answer so your comment is a bit harsh on him. As for the others... they were just having a laugh I guess.
yes maybe it was a bit harsh, but not untrue. if everybody was going around asking stuff he doesn't know in the thread it was mentioned we wouldn't need threads here. just make a big shoutbox where everybody can start crying... you see where it leads the discussion.
yeah maybe harsh, bot not untrue. and i meant those morons "having a laugh" aswell. this thread is a great example where this leads to. and what do we have the subforums for if nobody cares?

hello
how to install this recovery
if i have the ra recovery installed
?
I think you can just install it the same as you did RA and it will overwrite the RA one.
Someone will have to confirm this though.

Instructions
If you're new to all of this read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893948
You need CWM (ClockWorkMod) 1.3 or higher - Files and Tutorial here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=898913

Tips
recommended (but not needed) - format your sdcard with a sdcard formatter, like this one: http://panasonic.jp/support/global/cs/sd/download/index.html
To boot on CWM, turn the phone on, let the power button pressed for 10s, choose "Boot AD SD", CWM will start
It's recommended to wipe data and cache using CWM
First boot might be long, next will be less than 30 seconds
Space available for EU_LEO 200mb+ (need confirmation)
Robot voice - known issue - first call, turn speaker on, turn off speaker, end call. no more robot voice. if you do have robot voice again, repeat the process.
Or turn off audible touch tones
CAUTION: when restoring with CWM do NOT restore system or boot, just restore data and/or cache. If you restore system and boot you're are reverting to the previous version (rom and kernel). Go into advance restore - pick your restore point - choose data. If you want to restore extra user Apps i recommend using mybackup or titanium backup
If you have app2sd backup it as well.

The World's First ANDROID Recovery Based Filemanager
Don't Forget To Donate To Me:
Android Recovery was powerfull system. But it was pain when it come to managing your filesystem
But now AROMA Filemanager is available for everyone to do this common tasks.
This thread is special thread for HTC One X - That I think was the new Android Flagship for future development phone
So I am specially (Only for this device) will give it device specific support.
Hope you can gve me a feedback about this applications run on this device. So I can make it run more smooth in this device.
For development thread, Go Here >
Idea and suggestions are very welcome
How To Use?
Copy the zip into your sdcard, then reboot your device into recovery mode. Choose install from sdcard, then select the AROMA Filemanager ZIP. The file manager will starting, and you are ready to managing your filesystem (copy, cut, delete, make new folder, etc) while you are in recovery.

USE ALTERNATIVE METHOD CALIBRATION FOR NOW
I need someone who willing to give information and feedback about this phone. Make it works without alternative method calibration, make a default configurations, and default favorites, etc. So you can run this application as you go without needed any initial configurations.
Thanks
Oh yeah smel so good! Thanks Master !!!!!
Wow, thankyou, this is really damn good. tested out a few copies and pastes and seems to work great. Thankyou so much for sharing

Thanks,.. don't forget it if you have any issue, or bugs, please post it here, I will try quickly fix the problem.
Seriously, you are bringing so many great idea's into this forum, KUDOS man!
Good work! It's good to show what AROMA is possible to do and i'm sure given the success of this that there is much more that can be done from recovery.
Wow
Wow man! .. i've been waiting for this for so long, nice work .
this is wounderful
more like this and pc is obsolete
Thanks, works nice and good functions!
Build 02 is ready to download.
Changelogs:
Fix Tick Count - System tick time (CLOCK_MONOTONIC)
Fix copy/move/delete progress bar not updated in some recoveries
New dithering method, Better color looks, specially for standard RGB LCD subpixel order
Minimalizing ondraw footprint memory
It looks fantastic - Are some of those icons from MIUI?
The main design reminds me of MIUI's File Manager, but looks even better.
I'll test it right away.

Works great on my EVO 4G, thanks! I love it!
Sent from my HTC EVO 4G
Mods plz move it to development forums. More people visit there. I myself came to know of this through portal. Anyway great work. Kuddos and cheers.
Works great. It took a couple of goes, the first one didn't work on the touch, re-boot, the second time I selected the alternative touch and calibrated, third time and straight into the FM. No chance to select the default touch it seems. Updating files on first three reboots.
Good work !
AROMA Installer is one of the greatest break through. Now this one. Awesome work mate ...
wow this is great! will try it out ASAP!
This is a fantastic achievement! Thanks a million.
Yes, should be definitely in DEV thread.. This is a must for all ROM devs, just to give you an option to copy/paste or move files prior to rom installation, or use it as it is
great work mate.. Mod's?

General Info:
More information about Firefox OS (B2G) is available here and here. So... I saw this and couldn't resist having a little sneaky play around with it. This is NOT a daily driver. This is NOT stable. It's pre-alpha. If you want something to use as a phone, this isn't it. If you just want to use your phone as a phone, you need android rom.
With that aside, and with the clear understanding that while this won't brick your phone, it's nothing to do with me if it did for some reason, or likewise if your cat (or other cute pet) suffers a painful death as a result of flashing this. At your own risk, like everything else here on XDA-Developers!
So without further ado, WTF is this? Well, it's a project from Mozilla (the lovely people behind the Firefox browser). I won't go into details, suffice to say I suggest you read a lot over at their wiki - start off at https://wiki.mozilla.org/B2G and work your way through the pages.

Looks pretty awesome, suprised at how fast it boots. Can't wait to see the development for this, looks like it's going well already!
Neat, going to test it out
One massive bug I noticed is that the ROM has no buttons, which makes doing anything difficult, since you can't go back or home
Just to let people know, this will wipe your sdcard folder so take your backup out! ^^
Neato! Can someone post a video of it running on the Gnex?
I will try to fix bugs and will make a new build every weak. Second build will be avaliable as cwm archive without wiping sdcard)

I would like to see a video too, as i'm very curious, but I´m fine with my actual rom
Actually theres a few youtube videos of what it looks like. Not great videos but at least an idea of what it is. Honestly it doesnt look super different from Android. At least as far as the interface goes.
flashed it, testet, wanted to revert ... now my sdcard is formated, alle data gone...

This a short list of frequently asked questions about the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8" (SM-T310) and the answers often given as a response. It should serve as a starting point for gathering knowledge and finding solutions to many common problems. Please only post in this thread with feedback on how to improve this document. Do not post "Thank you" type responses.
Do not use this thread as a general helping thread.
Q1: How do I root my SM-T310?
First you're gonna need a custom recovery installed.
Download the following files to your computer: Odin, TWRP, Root
Extract Odin into a new folder and then TWRP in Odon's folder. After that's done start the Odin tool and put your device into download mode. To do this, power it off and hold the Home + Volume Down + Power buttons until you see the warning screen.
Once that's done, connect your device to your computer and wait till Odin recognizes it. If it doesn't usually an installation of Samsung Kies would fix it.
After the device is recognized sucessfully click on the PDA button in Odin and navigate to the TWRP file location and load it.
Wait for the PASS message and reboot your device. (Without disconnecting it)
Once done, boot into TWRP and hold your device in portrait mode, tap Reboot on the bottom right of the screen and then select System on the next menu.
Once you do this you will be asked to install root. If that doesn't work for your, copy the Root zip file to your SD Card, boot into TWRP and flash it as a normal zip.

Q2: How can I enter recovery?
To enter recovery, power off your device and hold Power + Volume Up buttons untill you see the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 splash screen and let off the Power button untill it boots you into recovery.

Q3: Which is the best ROM/Kernel?
Honestly, there is no "best". It's all based on personal choice. For example; I may like heavily customizing my ROMs whereas you may like it to look at basic as possible. The best thing you can do is to just test out different ROMs/kernels/modems and see which you prefer.
Also, please don't ask which is the best because your post will be deleted as it's against forum rules.

Click to collapse
Q4: Am I required to backup my data before flashing anything?
No you're not, but it is definitely a good idea, especially when flashing a ROM with an updated base, because if you don't do a backup and then something goes wrong, it means that you'll lose all your apps, data etc.

Q5: Does this device have a good battery life?
We all have different apps installed, use our phones for different amounts of time, have different ROMs and kernels installed etc. so we will all experience different results regarding battery life.

Q6: I'm not sure whether to get the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8"/what other tablets compare to the Tab 3 8"?
The only person who can make you want the device is you. If you're not sure whether to get this tablet, go to your local devices shop which has stock and have a test run of it for yourself. If you're not sure what device to get and want to compare between your choices, please use the following thread - Device Suggestion Thread
